>The scene is from the story of the warrior-hero Minamoto no Yorimitsu (948–1021) who, once when sick, was visited by an evil priest in the guise of a giant spider. Yorimitsu saw through the disguise and attacked the spider priest, and his four attendants (who were playing a game of Go while guarding him) leapt up to track the intruder back to his den

That's... an interesting thing to put on your fire coat. I bet a lot of modern departments would love these. They are all about identifying as their individual groups and taking pride in being a team. Aramid is naturally the yellowish color that bunker gear already is but can be dyed, although you might have issues with fumes from the dye being heated in fires.

You could skip bunker gear entirely though and just do a startup making custom jackets like this. The aramaid used for bunker gear is woven so just develop a machine to weave using x number of colored threads and do fairly simple patterns like this. This would beat the heck out of embroidered jackets for teams/agencies/social clubs too and you could even resurrect some historical art like this spider. There's already computerized embroidery, computerized custom woven jackets would be awesome. Forget "ugly Christmas sweaters".

In the past beautiful patterns and designs in textiles showed pride and wealth, now a name sewn on the label does. Resurrecting stuff like this with tech, so that it is affordable to the masses, would be an awesome thing.
Sounds like you might need some kind of existential experience. Not too get too mystical, but it is a practical matter, the fourth dimension of time might help. I can help to see and feel your life from beginning to end as a single thing. It sounds to me that you're hyper focused on a single aspect of your life and that some perspective will help immeasurably. And if that all sounds like gibberish then I'm totally on the side with everyone else that advised therapy. It'll basically do what I suggested, get perspective.

Also, this shit ain't easy. Life is the most difficult thing any of us will do.
Not only do I feel comfortable learning new stuff at work, I actively look for positions where this will happen. It's a perk I greatly value.

Often that is how things happen in the real world. When people win they look back and attribute it purely to their own hard work. Some act like assholes, too. So at least in that respect it is a good model :-)

Sure, until, you need a variation on that card for some elements, and add some other tailwind classes to the HTML to do it. Everything seems to work fine for a while.

Then you update the styles of the card again but the new styles clash with the ones in those tailwind classes and you end with broken styles in some elements.

Mixing components and utility classes is a recipe for future chaos.

You clearly have no idea what socialism is.
If you are hand-managing VPCs then there is every chance that this additional layer of complexity will lead to mistakes. You could argue that the increase in cognitive load of managing them can offset the benefits of an additional defense-in-depth control. New developers joining the team are likely to make mistakes and this is the sort of thing that doesn't get caught in code reviews either.

However, VPC configurations are an essential defense-in-depth that can be programmatically managed. AWS-managed VPCs are certainly not hand managed.

While maintaining Cloudformation or Terraform templates is still a pain, the good news is that it is becoming increasingly easier via frameworks like AWS CDK. This allows your deployment code to programatically generate the infrastructure and VPC configuration. This decreases the likelihood of mistakes made in configuration and increases the chances of such mistakes being caught during code reviews.

They have "removed a requirement" for refunding your game, making it more liberal, and you're telling us that this is a change for the worse, that clearly had to happen?
I wonder if a type of 'restocking' fee can be applied to games.

It happens where you get a game try it and it doesn't work on your hardware or it just wasn't what you expected.

I'd gladly pay a 10-20% restocking fee for whatever process they need to do to recycle that key and issue a refund rather than be stuck with a game that will never be played again in my library.

After playing a game more than 2 hours good luck getting a refund on steam, and good luck finding out how much you really enjoy a game in 2 hours.

30 days seems a bit extreme and I do see it ripe for abuse.
In my opinion, it's very difficult to use a Windows machine as your daily driver as a Software Engineer at Google. Windows VMs are banned by corporate policy. Getting an extra Windows laptop to test things requires a business reason and approval from a VP.
> I'm using Ubuntu 14.04, and this has been happening consistently for the last 5+ years.

Might help updating to a modern version of Ubuntu with a modern kernel and modern (and less buggy) GPU drivers?

Browsers are increasingly using GPU-acceleration these days. If your GPU drivers are buggy, that can probably cause a whole lot of “fun”.
This is an inspiring, bold move. Of course there will be abusers, but it seems GOG is betting that:

- the abusers are people who wouldn't buy anyway

- the positive PR will help GOG to increase the sales, as this is a niche platform compared to Steam. Increased sales will compensate the losses

- some people will buy more, knowing that they can try and return. It is likely that they will keep their game, that they wouldn't try otherwise

- the owner of GOG sells their own games on the platform: The Witcher series, Cyberpunk 2077. These games have higher margins than the games licensed from 3rd parties

- I think they want to increase the awareness of the platform before Cyperpunk 2077 ships later this year

I think you meant to say "Communism".

Regardless, substitute a couple of nouns and one could argue that game description isn't all that different than the capitalism version.
No. I, and the author, argue that nothing prevents Swift from having declarative foreach/if.

SwiftUI already introduces severely underdesigned awkward structures to replicate existing behavior, and it shouldn't.

SwiftUI's ForEach and If are ugly unnecessary hacks that replicate existing behavior and raise the question: why aren't other constructs there?
The total number of coins in a chain is deterministic. If using a UTXO model, then it's the number of unspent outputs that are linked to your private key, if using the account model, then there is an on-chain state that holds your balance, your nonce and some space for code (which is how smart contracts work..).

In the case of ERC style tokens, the token issuing contract holds a hashtable that links public addresses to a token balance as well as an invariant for totalSupply.

In any case, anyone with access to a block explorer or a node can query for an address and see its balance using the provided APIs (in ethereum it would be web3.eth.getBalance('0xdeacafe')
Just like capitalism!

It isn't. 60% of the cells at Belmarsh are multi occupancy and inmates at have access to education, workshops and gyms.

Feels like this comment is coming from a place of anger or a presumption that:

1) I'm a US citizen (I'm not).

2) Mexicans are shot at the border when trying to get through normal US customs checks, like in an airport (They're not).

3) that the Mexicans that are actually being shot on the border by the border guard is seen by the international community as acceptable (It isn't).

But, for the sake of refuting what you _actually_ said, lets go with "Western as an economic definition":

From Wikpedia:

-----8<-----

The term "Western world" is sometimes interchangeably used with the term First World or developed countries, stressing the difference between First World and the Third World or developing countries. This usage occurs despite the fact that many countries that may be culturally "Western" are developing countries – in fact, a significant percentage of the Americas are developing countries. It is also used despite many developed countries or regions not being Western (e.g. Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao), and therefore left out when "Western world" is used to denote developed countries. Privatization policies (involving government enterprises and public services) and multinational corporations are often considered a visible sign of Western nations's economic presence, especially in Third World countries, and represent common institutional environment for powerful politicians, enterprises, trade unions and firms, bankers and thinkers of the Western world.

----->8-----

So, "Western" is often used interchangably with first world; Countries in the first world, also according to wikipedia:

-----8<-----

Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, West Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

The Western-aligned countries included:

Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Japan, South Africa, South Korea, and Taiwan

The neutral countries included:

Austria, Finland, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland, and (now former) Yugoslavia.

----->8-----

This is because "First world"/"Western" has roots in the cold war.

"Second world" == Soviet bloc

"Third world" == everywhere else. (yes, that's a tepid definition when you think about it because most people take it to mean impoverished)
Devs inform a ticket with a severity as a counter balance to bug fixing being purely complaint driven. The business benefits from having someone with a technical eye look at a bug and determine if it really is just a cosmetic issue or may allow system misuse - then the PM should take that severity into consideration along with client complaints when handing out priority.

The trend in board games right now is legacy board games, where the game maintains state after each session. What you really want is legacy monopoly. Where the winners of early games maintain their monopoly, and face a proletariat uprising in future games, making it an asymmetrical struggle for the elites to maintain power.
Monopoly was meant to show the benefits of Georgism - essentially a flat-value land tax. Georgism is not opposed to capitalism. In fact, Adam Smith himself advocated a similar tax. So did Keynes, Friedman- nearly every economist.

However, it is likely that Elizabeth Magie herself didn't quite understand this - the Georgist set of rules in the Landlord's game doesn't quite match what Henry George was proposing. George's proposed tax intended to drive down rents by encouraging development of land. But the game flat out handed people money and kept rents the same.

This is not due to its origin. It's just not a great game due to its widely varied play time, elimination of players and other flaws.

I've always used Monopoly as a good way to explain inflation.

If you play by the stated rules in the game, any property landed on goes up for auction to all players if the current player doesn't want to purchase it. Imagine what happens to the purchase price of properties in this scenario if every player started the game with 10 times more money...
`about:restartrequired` brings you to a screen where you can just hit enter, allowing for a restart without using the mouse.

Alternatively they could add a simple $1 service fee to games that is part of the pricing (so they give a discount on MSRP or something or just add the fee period) that becomes non-refundable. I could care less about losing out on a dollar. It would certainly add up over time, course if you have a user returning > 95% of the games they buy, it might be really obvious who is abusing the system.

For people living paycheck to paycheck that can be handled through adjustments to tax withholding. So less money would be withheld from each paycheck. We already handle numerous other taxes and tax credits / deductions the same way.

Rapid price inflation for staple goods will likely cause civil unrest either way. The only way to make a carbon tax politically feasible will be to slowly phase it in over many years so that people have time to adjust.
Which is exactly why I wonder who would do it. For private industry, there has to be profit motive, otherwise why bother?

So if reputable research institutions won't clone humans due to ethical concerns and private biotech can't make money from it, that leaves only governments. So what would motivate a government to clone humans? Especially since making more people isn't particularly difficult the regular way.
I am very fond of https://lostgarden.home.blog/2008/05/20/improving-bug-triage... which established a pain metric that isn’t priority or severity.

Nice analysis! Never realized that Google has pushed down the #1 result so far down at the bottom! It took me 4 mouse scrolls to actually find the #1 result (a Wikipedia article) for "lollipop"!

I believe a lot more things should be cancelled because of coronavirus. The less we travel, the less it spreads.

It was German journalists who revealed the names in the leaks, not Wikileaks/Assange.

In fact, Assange made extra efforts to warn the White House that the leaks had been published with cleartext names.

So no, nobody died because Assange published leaked data. If anybody got into trouble at all because their names were revealed, its because German journalists published the password to decrypt the files containing the names of informants involved.

So, this is an even worse travesty of justice on top of the existing torture, already.

An issue with games like Pandemic is that a more experienced or dominant player can tend to take charge of the whole team, with everyone else following their orders instead of autonomously making their own decisions. Especially if following the experienced player's advice really does maximize the chance of winning, it basically becomes a single-player game with spectators who help move the pieces around.

I think adding in secret information or hidden objectives can help prevent this.

I don't know how it is in the UK, but in the US most "treaties" are actually executive agreements, which set a policy of the US executive branch but do not have the force of law. Treaties must be approved by 2/3 of the US Senate to have the force of law, by the US Constitution, and even then a treaty can't violate the US Constitution. You left out the full text of Article 26, which is pretty important:

"A party may not invoke the provisions of its internal law as justification for its failure to perform a treaty. This rule is without prejudice to article 46."

Article 46 states:

"""
1. A State may not invoke the fact that its consent to be bound by a treaty has been expressed in violation of a provision of its internal law regarding competence to conclude treaties as invalidating its consent unless that violation was manifest and concerned a rule of its internal law of fundamental importance.

2. A violation is manifest if it would be objectively evident to any State conducting itself in the matter in accordance with normal practice and in good faith.
"""

I would consider the US Constitution a "rule of its internal law of fundamental importance". I'm sure the UK government would have no problem finding a similar argument that makes Article 26 a dead letter.
This was covered early in the tutorial I followed last summer. As someone who likes good web perf and remembers when sites were much slimmer on the frontend, I was very pleasantly surprised with the results I got.
From a purely monetary point of view at a global level, transactions are indeed a positive sum. But the "positive" value of transactions, globally, is remarkably small - it's effectively inflation minus population growth (between 1 and 3% yearly).

So, if your money is growing more than this 3%, someone else is losing money so you can make it.

EDIT: I figured this would be unpopular - please feel free to correct me, to point out where the money on, for example, 6% returns on investments come from if not from someone else.

Yes to the first, and pretty sure about the second. And the two accounts were intertwined in many other ways: one was the recovery address for the other, one forwarded its email to the other, they were both accessed at the same time from the same IP over the years.

The only trigger I could see was that I had not logged into the account I lost for a while (months).

Baffling, but it clarified that relying on a single company for multiple services was quite foolish, and I've since spread my accounts around to multiple vendors. Highly recommended.
To give an extreme counter-example, imagine you had a constitution that legally gives unlimited supreme powers to a single person (which has happened, e.g. Germany during the Nazi years).

I wouldn't describe that as the rule of law, but rather as despotism. I think you can have a constitutional system that has powers codified that still violate the goals and ideals of the rule of law, without being technically illegal. It's not a black and white thing.

Does that make sense?
