If you're looking for advancement in computing power in the same programming paradigms and hardware styles you've always used, you will eventually be disappointed.

We've had GPUs for ages. Programming for GPUs is common, though I would suspect has significant innovation remaining.

Uh a privacy nightmare (giving out your identity to a random, unaccountable company to be able to play a game? Yay what a splendid idea!) and perfect recipe for killing the game, because now you aren't punishing cheaters but anyone who is playing better than the others (for whatever reason).

So players are actually motivated to play at a mediocre/average level instead of trying to get better, because then they could stick out of the crowd and get punished/hassled.

What a wonderful thing to incentivize ... facepalm

Out of curiosity where are you located? As far as I can tell, all the Microcenters in the Bay Area have closed down.

We still have Central Computer, which is where I had to go to get my last part when Fry's didn't have it (the special screwdriver for opening the newish Mac laptops).
Just go with the whole quote plese...

"We see the solar system and we can calculate at what rate it ejected rocks during its history. And if we assume all planetary systems around other stars are doing the same thing, we can figure out what the population of interstellar objects should be. That calculation results in a lot of possibilities, but the range is much less than needed to explain the discovery of ‘Oumuamua."

That is freaking broad assumption. What is history we can calculate at what rate it ejected rocks? Last 100 years? Last 2000 years?
What about younger systems? Did they calculated it for whole lifetime of solar system? I am quite skeptic because you know those scientists need to get paid and probably if you are just looking at stars you are not paid enough... Because mostly nothing interesting happens there.
Wait is this a joke or is it real? I've actually gone and taken another look and now I can't tell what the actual new layout of the keyboard is. I can't find any examples of photos of the latest model with a UK layout.

Edit turns out I was wrong and now the pg-up and pg-down keys are function keys again but the left and right keys are now full-size. From what I've heard from MacBook users, they prefer the inverted T layout that Apple went with with their latest 16" laptop as it's easier to find the arrow keys by feel. Oh well I guess it's still a big improvement from last year's design.
This sounds like the kind of risk someone running a startup can take.. do you really advocate limiting MVPs due to potential GDPR violations? And English ADA equivalent violations?

Challenge for Linux users, make an open source better anti-cheat for Linux than in Windows that connects to the Linux kernel through a kmod to inspect the whole stack.

Then Linux would be a better gaming platform than Windows. In many ways it is already better.
What would help your case (with regards to downvotes, and for your words to have greater impact) is to convey additional information instead of just repeating the same thing. For example, you could state that "Market share reflects sales of an item over a fiscal period -- which is different from installed base, which reflects the percentage of units that are in current usage". You can even include a pointer to a reference, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Installed_Base.

This way, even if you are technically correct, you can better convey knowledge when it appears that communication isn't occurring.
Yet another Central Computers fan checking in. Besides computers, they have all kinds of networking equipment, cables at decent prices, etc.

I haven't been to Anchor yet but several of my ham radio friends have recommended it.

Jameco in San Carlos also has a lot of components. It's not a retail store, other than a small display up front of mostly closeout stuff, but you can order online for will call and they will have it ready by the time you get there.

One more Bay Area source I like a lot is SF Cable. As you can guess, they have mostly cables. The ones I've bought from them have been good quality at a good price. I particularly like their flat Cat 6 Ethernet cables. I don't think they have a retail store at all, but if you're in the Bay Area it's overnight shipping.

I think that would definitely make a case for an anti-slapp case against apple if they did that. Trying to buy, then suing already seems to make it look like a slapp suit.
> We aren't typically just tying an overhand or figure 8 midline in a knot and pulling on the ends--I can't think of ANY place where that's useful. The closest thing I can think of is a stopper knot, and neither of these knots is ideal for that application.

I'll admit that I've mostly used this "useless knot" test methodology you're criticizing here. But in its defense, it is an easy to do micro-benchmark with consistent results.

I guess I could setup a more cohesive test to measure the strength in more "realistic" scenarios. That's really all it comes down to: the strength of the rope in whatever specific situation you're doing.

I'll note that 40lb-strength rated cotton twine is just strong enough to be useful, and just weak enough that a bad knot or two will cause the twine to snap under moderate usage. (Ex: Package Tie to support a box containing 20lb).

What makes you think I never experienced a revving engine? Heh.

You can't explain it because it is all in your head, it is an illusion, a subjective sense of empowerment that does not actually exist. It is a yearning by people that cannot make any other mark in the world, just a big noise. Look how much noise I can make! It is an atavistic feeling of the lizard brain.

You are neither better, nor more successful, nor looked up - it is just noise and that noise satisfies you, because it makes you (mistakenly) believe that people are paying attention to you.

I just want to direct everyone to the NIC's natural resources projection report for 2020, 2030 & 2040. [0]

It is my Bible for the coming decades. For one, it predicted Australia:

By 2020, significant loss of biodiversity is projected to occur in some ecologically rich sites, including the Great Barrier Reef and Queensland Wet Tropics. Water security problems and a decline in agriculture and forestry are projected for southern and eastern Australia, as well as eastern New Zealand, by 2030.

It also mentions harvest shocks in the region due to land damage from climate change.

If you want to know which countries will collapse into mass protest, which wars will be fought, between whom, and when, this report is your guide.

I have a weird experience when it comes to playing Counter Strike on Linux. It was back in 2004 when most non-Valve Counter Strike servers in my region(EU) used anti-cheat software called CheatingDeath. I was using Linux on my desktop for all tasks, which included playing Counter Strike, as I was a 15 year old kid. Needless to say, not only CheatingDeath did not work under Wine, it outright refused to play the game altogether, blocking the UI and informing server admins that I was cheating, which led to me getting banned. I had paid for a reserved slot on my favorite servers, so getting permanently banned was devastating. Luckily there was also cheat software called CheatingDeathDeath that emulated CheatingDeath, run perfectly fine under Wine and came with a variety of cheats built-in. It also spoofed fingerprinting part, making my machine appear as normal. So I could play CS on Linux(with actual cheats disabled) and didn't have to worry about getting banned because anti-cheat software would mark me as a false positive. Thanks, cheat developers!

P.S.
I got better performance playing CS with Wine and cheat software as it didn't hog system resources so much. I recall getting a maximum of 75 FPS under Windows running genuine CheatingDeath and stable 100 FPS under Linux and CheatingDeathDeath.
I'm allergic to some dyes. The dyes are plainly non-toxic, but I can't wear them. I'm also allergic to dry cleaning solutions, so it sucks to be me.

Seems to me the issue isn't Land's End, which is making uniforms to spec. The issue is that Delta isn't accommodating employees with allergies.
as someone who works in the gaming industry, i think anti-cheat exists in part because of the culture of game development. every games company i have worked with has valued releasing the content they want to release above everything else – they'll request API changes and the removal of security hurdles to meet their release deadlines. crunch culture is very real.

As a small, real and not at all outlier example I was asked once if the game's backend servers could establish a persistent mutual TLS connection to authentication servers so game clients wouldn't need to implement oauth / oidc, in which they'd request whatever data they wanted in essence.

Multiplayer games are only a continuation of this philosophy. For quite a few games, the 'multiplayer' aspect is created by simply replicating identical game state across all clients, meaning clients end up with a ton of information the player shouldn't be able to see being beamed to their computer.

most game UIs are literally flash, or embedded chrome instances that dynamically load their content from user input or straight from the web, often over unencrypted connections. These browsers also often have direct sandbox bypasses to the game engine.

Making games is hard. Making games secure is something games companies don't want to invest in, and they've largely just eaten the risk with bolt-on anticheat software. Games companies are in a similar but slightly worse position than the financial industries where, due to historically not valuing security talent they can't and don't acquire it, instead opting for whatever off-the-shelf solutions, mitigations and contractors they can use to help stem the bleeding with the exception of less than a handful of household name shops.

It is possible, depending on the game to take good steps to make games harder to cheat at. Dota 2, for example took steps (in their rather favourable context) to thwart cheating by not sending information to the player on objects they should not be able to see (though mistakes are made in this on a regular basis). For any other industry, such a filter would be the standard way to implement the server-client relationship but this is not a priority in game development as it stands.

There's simply no other non-security software one downloads to their computer that comes with a heavy and intrusive rootkit that attempts to try to see if you're messing with it, because no other industry as wealthy or influential as gaming considers security an afterthought.

The obvious problem here is that in this case open source software is being used to take away other people's freedoms.

So who's freedom wins out? ICE's freedom to use open source code, or ICE's victims' freedom?

The activists think that the victims' freedom should win, and I'd argue that's the case. ICE is using open source software to prevent other people from using open source software by locking them up.

The freedom to use open source software should stop at limiting other people's freedom to use it.

Let's make some predictions and put confidence figures on it.

By end of decade:

Over 80% of new cars sold are electric. (90% - it is hard to not see this one happen.)

At least 3 of General Motors, Ford, Hyundai, Volkswagon, Toyota and Nissan go bankrupt or are sold. (70% - the electric transition will not be nice to them.)

The car dealer system will undergo major changes in the USA. (60% - car dealers and manufacturers are at odds on electric vehicles and manufacturers tied down by car dealer laws are at a major disadvantage against companies without car dealers. Such as Tesla and companies that will try to enter from elsewhere like NIO from China.)

The EU monetary union will collapse. (70% - An economic union is only sustainable in the long-run with political union, and there is no appetite for political union. The result is growing tension between savers like Germany and debtors like Greece, Italy and Spain.)

The UK's economic growth post-Brexit will exceed the EU as a whole. (60% - due to less regulation and continued EU financial crises)

Democrats win the Presidency in both 2024 and 2028. (70% - this is based on demographic trends and the fact that the Republicans can't change their policies until enough of their base dies of old age.)

Suborbital flights replace over 1% of long distance air trips. (30% - SpaceX is the only one who can and a lot has to go right for them to succeed. But the vision is realistic and out there - it is now mostly a question of when.)

Facebook no longer is or owns the dominant social network. (30% - the value of a social network scales like O(n log(n)) but Facebook recognizes this and is doing a good job of buying competitors. Eventually they will fail.)

College tuition no longer outpaces inflation, and the ending of this trend will be tied to a financial crisis. (30% - Stein's law says, "If something cannot go on forever, it will stop." However there are two corollaries by Stuart Stanisford, "It will go on a lot longer than we think," and "It will end badly when it does stop." The first is why I think that it has a good chance of not happening this decade.
But the second captures the fact that behavior won't be likely to change without a crisis. And consider that at $1.6 trillion, student loan debt is the largest source of personal debt, and the only one not dischargeable in bankruptcy. If it triggers a crisis, there are the makings of a good one here.)

Not surprised. Apple spent most of the 90's cranking out one turd after another. There were a few hits for well-heeled professionals, but their consumer offerings were generally a bunch of fatally compromised Road Apples. https://lowendmac.com/2014/road-apples-second-class-macs/

This is my Fry’s as well. A very sad state.
Ah, metaphysics.

I studied metaphysics in a practical way extensively in the late 90's. I
was technically homeless but I lived by magic for about four and a half
years. It was pretty intense. Anyway...

I speak with authority in this matter:

Astrology is a form of divination. All forms of divination work,
depending on the operator. All forms of: Astrology, Numerology, Tarot,
Dowsing by pendulum or rods, Palmistry, Reading of tea leaves or entrails
(yuch!) or cracks in heated turtle shells or thrown reeds or coins, I
Ching, omens and signs, etc., all of them, work by the same method.
It's the internal potency of the operator that leads to correct knowledge
(from "esoteric" sources.) Your own connection to source guides the
interpretation. The format of the divination system is a conduit to
bring semantics into concrete syntax.

If you simply want reliable truthful information the "applied
kinesiology" technique of Dr. Sir David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. [1] is
the single simplest and purest methodology. It's so mind-blowing that
even I can barely credit it. But I have never found it to fail. It's so
spooky that I often "forget" to use it, and just bumble along as best i
can. YMMV

However, if you want to study astrology, you can just make up your own system.
It will be more powerful than adopting someone else's system. Unless
you feel drawn to a certain school or format, in which case that's
important information for your personal path and you should likely study
that. Spread all your books out, pick one at random, open it to a random page, and read the first passage your eye alight upon. (Bibliomancy, another form of divination, one of my favorites. I have a shelf with the Gita, Bible, Beezlebub's Tales to His Grandson, and others and still practice bibliomancy with them from time to time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibliomancy )

[1] Although he didn't invent it, his presentation and discussion of it
are the only thing I'm talking about here: https://veritaspub.com/ If you
go look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_kinesiology there's a
lot lot there that could be unpacked, but that's NOT what I'm talking
about. I mean specifically the "Levels of Consciousness" interpretation
of Hawkins.

>Thus when you double a nation's size, the number of interacting 'parts' will exponentially increase.

This doesn't sound right at all. Why would the number of interacting parts increase exponentially? And why would that result in decreased economic efficiency rather than increased?

Doesn't this very idea run counter to one of the basic tenets of capitalism that "bigger is better" (due to economies of scale)?

>what's clear is that you can't linearly extrapolate one nation's experiences across nations of different sizes

Maybe true, but IMHO not at all for reasons of economic size. That is, all other things being equal, increasing the size of an economic system should make it more efficient, not less.
