I had no idea about the BPL1MOD and BPL2MOD. Now that i know they exist I don't see why a game developer would not use them.

I will try to double check with Eric Chahi but this is so much more efficient that it has to be the way he drew polygons (instead of drawing into a scrap buffer and blitting four times, he used BPL*MOD to draw and blit only once).
I think we are in the acitvism bubble. The outrage culture and now this stir the pot activism are fueling certain individuals narcissism to the detriment of the cause and rest of us.
China has rich tradition of vegetarian cuisine due to Buddhism but pork is still a significant cuisine staple. China is already nominally food secure i.e. it can feed everyone on domestic production but absolute food security is a huge focus for central planners and from what I've gleaned, the goal is still to provide enough domestic animal production vs pivot to plant proteins. Although Chinese fake meat research is also trending. At the end of the day it's cultural, I think long term it would be easy to encourage more vegetarian diets in China because vegetarian Buddhist diets is associated with health and Chinese demographics is skewing older for the foreseeable future. Combined with lack of comprehensive health safety net and people will eventually skew towards less animal protein.
This is terrible.

Excellent. I did something similar a few months ago using a dataset of zoological silhouettes, resulting in a menagerie of mammals, bugs, spiders and other mutant wonders.

Why do people have these things in their home? Why do they ship all your data to Google? Wasn't uPNP or IPv6 suppose to allow better support for self hosting your own data? Why are there not more devices who advertise, "Your data never leaves your devices." Why is self-hosting still only in the hobbyist/professional space?
I was one of the few kids who got a 3DO (yes really), and I had a copy of Another World for it, after already having played it on the Genesis, and I was a bit underwhelmed, since moving to comparatively more-powerful hardware didn't make the game look a million times better.

After a bit, though, I realized it wasn't that the 3DO version was underwhelming, but instead that the Genesis version was amazing. It already felt like a next-gen game, and so the upgrade to the 3DO didn't make a huge change.

In the end, it has become one of my favorite games. I love the art, the style, the cutscenes, and even though it's incredibly short, I love the story.

I never played Heart of the Alien, because I never had a Sega CD, but I'd like to play it at some point on an emulator.
When I was in college, my friends/housemates and I took out an ad in the yellow pages under 'Philosophers'. We were 'Murvanowski & Associates, Philosophers at Large'. Each of us specialized in a philosophy, spanning Realism, Epicureanism, Daoism and of course, Hedonism.

Every couple of weeks, we'd get a call from a student who had stumbled on us when trying to reach the Pharmacy, while simultaneously struggling with their Philosophy course. We liked to think we did provide a valuable public service.

From the description "like to render a summary of published posts, with the post title, author, number of times it’s been viewed, and a fun fact about that view count number" I don't even see why you'd need a parameter.
That’s baloney. The Course 6 undergraduates I know that went to work for Google, Snap and Microsoft had perfect 5.0s. There may be jokes about those kids but being the bottom of the class makes the least sense.

I think the most interesting thing about this test is that it shows HTTP/2 isn't always faster than 1.1 --- in the first test, h1 compound is just as fast as h2, and in the second, even slightly faster. Considering all the additional complexity that HTTP/2 introduces, that doesn't seem like any improvement.

Also, "relative speeds" should really be "relative times" because otherwise the percentages imply the exact opposite. I was a little confused for a bit by that.
That's very kind, quincunx is fine, or no credit is fine too. Glad I could be of help.

That's great and all, but because Signal takes advantage of that existing network of identifiers, it is able to deliver usable private messaging to many users today. Replacing phone numbers as identifiers is a much harder problem than what Signal has done so far. We shouldn't wait to solve this at some unknown point in the future before offering "huge amounts of value" to users.
What makes you think that it's not humanly possible? Medical residents do similar hours. It's only been in the last 200 or so years that the 40 hour work week was more normal.

To answer your question though; About 45 to 60 hours a week can be spent testing various things depending on what needs to be done. It's not a constant flow of testing testing though, I'd probably say at least a few hours of each day is spent semi idle. It can be waiting for feedback or clarification from the devs, or a compilation (which can take up to 55 minutes for a release build of the largest package, but require 3 hours to take it from the final tested version to managers sending out the release email to the public). In other cases it's doing the secondary tasks for testing; setup and teardown, writing reports, hardware changes, etc.

10 to 20 hours a week is spent working on user facing documentation. Some of the time it's just editing what someone else wrote but most of the time it's compiling notes from bug reports, test case results, feature documents, and trying to compress all that information into a more easy to digest format.

About 8 to 16 hours a week is spent reviewing test cases. In most cases it's just making sure that the cases are still relevant and accurate. It is rather tedious and because of that I think no one else wants to do it, but it is a necessary task as letting it slide causes a great deal of confusion for all. There's some 300 to 400 manual test cases at any given time that cannot be readily automated.

Some 2 to 5 hours a week is spent on administrative overhead. Meetings, email, etc.

Beyond that it varies on what odd jobs need to be done around the office, which. Most of the time it's minor things but it can sometimes turn a larger effort, such as a hardware audit.

Keep in mind that 60 to 90 hours a week is a range, but most of the time it hovers closer to 60. Higher times only occur every two or three months or so.
I think if Moxie had framed this from a perspective of "centralization has some advantages, so how can we make a centralized service as safe as possible" the outcry would be much less. Because signal is genuinely doing some very great stuff in that area. But the framing as a dismissal of decentralized solutions as unworthwhile is very frustrating, especially when it so transparently overlaps with his business interests.

>Massive Pork Producer

I am going to guess Danish Crown?

Chinese has always been buying in qualities that exceeds any supply capacity. And that was before ASF, after that they try to contain it, as well as opening up more Brazilian Pork Import. While xwowsersx was genius in placing the bet 18 months ago, the price / tonne wasn't so clear* until close to mid 2019 when everything went out of hand.

* It wasn't clear because despite raising prices, pork prices ( Brazilian ) has been trading at a ridiculously low level since ~2015.

A lot of FUD here.

Titular "employees" were informed that they were in violation of media policy by making comments to the media both as a named representative of Amazon and critical of Amazon without prior approval.

Neither of those elements strikes me as shocking. 1) Companies are sensitive—including for legal reasons—to employees clearly noting that "their opinions are their own" and may not reflect the corporate entity. And, 2) media perception, particularly in a negative light.

Maren Costa is quoted as saying, “Any policy that says I can’t talk about something that is a threat to my children – all children – is a problem for me.”

Which, uuh, is not what the policy says. It says "don't bring Amazon into your personal views unless we say it's OK" and "hey, probably don't be openly critical of your employer". Talk about climate change all you want!

Victoria Liang is quoted as saying, “Amazon’s newly updated communications policy is having a chilling effect on workers who have the backbone to speak out and challenge Amazon to do better. This policy is aimed at silencing discussion around publicly available information. It has nothing to do with protecting confidential data, which is covered by a completely different set of policies.”

Which... yep. The entire point is media and PR relations, not confidentiality agreements. To limit one's own employees from making you a pariah in the media.

So none of this is shocking to me.

Note also that this is different from a thesis of, "Workers should be protected for criticizing their employers in the media" or "Amazon should be doing more for climate change."
It's probably my main source of disappointment as a programmer specialising in web applications. There are a lot of other things I know how to do or like to play with, but the main money is in the boring stuff.

1. Does the same thing not also apply to the blog post he authored, which contains the exact same points?

2. Is a talk where you get a big stage to preach your opinion from and take two questions at the end really the best way to do this? As opposed to say, a panel discussion or similar.
I know it's a joke, but I wonder if bacon can stay edible for that long. After some googling it looks like meat, depending on type, is "good" for up to a year. Some should be eaten within few months.

> Roger Hallam called the holocaust "just another fuckery in human history"

Prefacing it with "almost.." but apparently everybody just glosses over that word because that wouldn't be conducive to the narrative of "Roger Hallam is a secret neo-Nazi who relativizes the Holocaust, everybody should shun him and his views!".

You drawing the AfD into this, and how they can supposedly openly deny the Holocaust without consequences, is not just dishonest, as it completely embezzles the resulting controversy, it also fits neatly into the "Hallam is like the AfD" narrative.

While completely embezzling that a large part of what feeds the AfD is a counter-culture movement that's getting tired of constantly getting slapped with the "Nazikeule". That's not to say that this is always undeserved, often enough it is deserved, but quite regularly it's used to shape the discourse because anybody who talks about the Holocaust without going "Yes, that was the most horrible thing in human history ever, and will forever remain the most horrible thing" is treading on very dangerous ground, as Roger Hallam had to find out.

> There is no evidence of the government pushing this anywhere from what I can see.

So the foreign minister of Germany is not part of the government? He didn't use his public position to help start, and legitimize, this witchhunt? That whole episode didn't make Roger Hallam a Persona non grata among the German branch of the ER?
The constant variance part is important though. If you apply linear regression to a severely heteroscedastic dataset, the inferences you obtain from the model will be incorrect.
