The Paradox of Creative Work
Alpha is the worst internally (than gamma or beta) because it's a big particle (2 protons, 2 neutrons) and does lots of damage internally but can't pass through skin or clothes, so externally it's less dangerous. Additionally, the alpha particle can cause minerals in the body to become radioactive, thus extending the danger.
> But chaining the == with other operators feels weird

Chaining anything with `is` feels weird to me, but:

foo >= bar == baz >= fooo

fells perfectly ok.

Java does the same thing for small numbers.
One weird operator that comes to mind is the flip-flop operator, but the odds of encountering it are close to zero, and it would certainly stick out as something very bizarre and not confused with other syntax.

> The viral outbreak could have been stopped in December in Wuhan had we had the foresight and financial support to develop antiviral drugs or vaccines.

It’s quite possible the pandemic started with a virology lab in Wuhan doing exactly that.
I take your point, but it’s way too time consuming to extract the tentacles of the modules I don’t want from the OS and fix problems as new releases come out. So, I use Devuan on my servers. I don’t want to risk a rolling release distro being auto-updated - I like a periodic release that is auto security patched. Void is great for a laptop, where you care about video and music.

Yes, I’ve used OpenBSD. It’s great, but not for me atm.
Curious, why do you say that? I code primarily in Python but don't think that of myself. Could you elaborate?
> Maybe this is nice in theory? But `Int` really isn't an output here, and the value being assigned isn't either. Rather this seems more like `f(i, Int, value) -> assignment`. It seems just as arguable that `f(Int, i, value) -> assignment` is appropriate.

The point is that you want variable declarations and function signatures to be consistent, so you either write

val i : Int
def f(x: Int) : String

Or

Int i
String f(Int x)

And if you do the latter then you have a confusing syntax because the output type comes before the input type, and it's very hard to do lambdas in a way that looks consistent.
It applies to Ruby as well, just in different cases:

irb(main):020:0> 10.0.__id__
=> 81064793292668930
irb(main):021:0> 10.__id__
=> 21
irb(main):022:0> 10==10.0
=> true

And for very large numbers:

irb(main):031:0> 1e200.__id__
=> 340
irb(main):032:0> 1e200.__id__
=> 360

So it's a different threshold and different cases, but as a general rule, "equality and identity are different" still holds.
I don't think it's that bad. "is" shouldn't be used for equality like that and most people won't think to because it's weird. Maybe they should have named it __is__ so people know it's a scary operation that might confuse beginners.

But isn't it cash-only at even most established joints in Germany much less mom and pop immigrant-run hole-in-the-walls? My friend tells me even vape shops that sell hundreds of dollars of gear are cash only.

We have plenty of those in our ethnic neighborhoods. Heck even some very successful joints like Rosamunde Sausage Grill in the Mission District (S.F.) were cash-only until a couple of years ago, when I last went there.

Most other places accept cards & thus have to factor that into the price of the offerings.

I'm a network engineer and product manager. Add'l skill sets in biotech, security, and electronics. At the physical layer I've worked with all kinds of RF (satellite, HF, VHF/UHF line of sight, cellular). I don't consider myself a dev, but can find my way around.

Where I shine are efforts that are time and/or budget constrained, may involve working around bureaucratic constraints, and collaborating with team members of vastly different skill sets. I often wear multiple hats on such tasks.

While I am currently in SoCal, I would prefer to relocate if possible. I'm targeting the Bay Area. However, I'm open to other locations. Thanks for your time and consideration.

Huh? I mean, surely nobody is making Apple-money from gaming hardware. But plenty of companies of various sizes are decently profitable and making money in this space.
Right, but display buffering is a solution to the vertical sync issue that has existed for as long as raster graphics. You can’t buy a GPU without it.

Now that I’ve had more time since I read the post, I think they may have been referring to adaptive refresh rate.

Are you implying that the 1918 pandemic resulted in some sort of lesson learned or a fundamental shift in culture?
That's a good point.

On a more philosophical level, are restaurants an essential good for society, or more of a luxury along the lines of upscale purses, limited-run sneakers, Rolex watches and Teslas?

I'm not going to argue that they shouldn't exist, but just like with fine mechanical watches, I don't imagine society will collapse without them as we switch to centralized food preparation with economies of scale and more home cooking.
To your last question--as a severely amateur player in this one: tomato and tobacco are both nightshades so I imagine the growth of the leafing parts are similar in action.

Hopefully someone else will either correct me or elaborate.
Metal is one hurdle, Apple has a weird habit of putting many small ones up in front of you for whatever reason it gets old after awhile and the sales aren't there to justify jumping over them most mac users who want to game don't seem to have issues just buying a console either so it's not like a large group of customers isn't being reached

As a single developer, that's an incremental cost that would be hard to justify for a small potential market.

As a company, adding an additional different testing infrastructure (rent a macmini farm) with the additional pipeline costs (setup, build pipeline etc) as well as the additional opex, again, for a small potential market, is not economical.
I really hope that this is the lesson we get from the Covid-19 pandemic. To develop a series of easily manufacturable antivirals against all potentially pandemic causing viruses. It will cost a couple of billions but Covid-19 alone has cost us trillions already.

His facts might be right but his tone is unreasonable. This epidemic started in China, neighbor to India. Those two countries are home to something like 20-25% of the worlds human resources and are basically on the doorstep of being advanced world-striding superpowers. China in particular is becoming a technological colossus and India is already a major player when it comes to actually producing these drugs.

Assigning the blame on the NIH or US funding would be fine in the 1980s; but this is really an issue for the Asians to take leadership on. China was in a much better position to study all these viruses. The US failed on disease screening for incoming travelers.
> Let's just kill all community space.

It might be helpful to differentiate "community space" from "restaurant". Or perhaps to differentiate "restaurant that is primarily selling convenience", which is the kind the article seems to be describing, from "restaurant that is primarily selling a dining experience in a community space". I would expect margins on the latter type of restaurant to be significantly higher.
Because it's so much easier to fundamentally change a huge and enduring societal institution (the concept of restaurants in trafficked places) than to re-adjust the expectations of the fucking landlords, which has never been dealt with before...

The hyperfocus on "disruption" you sometimes see in here is really... something.

I will proselytize Beat Saber until the day I die. I have played hundreds of hours of video games in 2020, which reflects the time spent since I was 8 playing Donkey Kong on the Super Nintendo. After writing this, I'm probably going to jump into some FF7R. In the morning, I'm going to log into Animal Crossing and do some chores around the island.

Beat Saber is the most fun game I have ever played. No qualifiers. No shifty language. Nothing else is even in the same order of magnitude as Beat Saber. I dare to even call it a video game, because very few other games even possess the language to compete with it. The combat in FF7R is visceral, but you're not actually swinging Cloud's sword. The loop in Animal Crossing is entrancing, but it doesn't become your entire world like when you put a headset on. Even other VR games, which have that language they can use to tell their gameplay, often feel like the VR experience is bolted onto something which could, and maybe should, be non-VR. You often fight with the game; the game transplants you into a world, not just on a screen, but every degree surrounding you, yet you're limited in how you move, you're limited in how the game allows you to interact, nothing feels natural, and you soon adapt your actions with what the game wants.

I am solidly in the camp that, honestly, VR will not become a household item like a game console is. Even with headsets priced about at the level of a game console, like the Rift, the platform has too many downfalls.

Startlingly few games work well in VR. Even an experience like Half Life Alyx, the pinnacle of VR technology, feels like a shell of a game like Half Life 2. Its different. It can't tell a strong story, because players don't generally spend more than 30-90 minutes in VR at a time. It can't really innovate in puzzle design, because movement and viewport control is so heavy that it becomes tiring if you ask the player to do too much. The mechanics feel incredible. No one enters HL:A for the first time, loads that pistol, and doesn't have this HUGE GRIN on their face. But, its also a novelty; it wears off far too quickly once you begin realizing how many fundamentally core things Valve had to sacrifice to make the game work at all.

Nearly every game in VR is, bluntly, a tech demo. The platform is still figuring out if it is viable. Of the top selling VR games on Steam, #7 is a sim game which models a hyper-realistic anime girl, allowing you to mess with her clothes in a predictable anime way, and #10 is Skyrim. Of course, HL:A and Beat Saber are #1 and #2, but roughly this state is where VR was six years ago. It hasn't really evolved, and I'm not convinced HL:A was the catalyst I think Valve is hoping it is.

But, maybe I'm wrong. I will say this: There is no price you can pay for a VR headset that does not make Beat Saber worth it (within your means, of course). It is that good. I have an Index ($1000); beyond spending an hour or two in as many games as I can, 100% of my time is spent in Beat Saber, and I do not regret the purchase. Everything else VR has to offer is just icing. But this, a platform, does not make.
Having to purchase overpriced box on top of already costly GPU and wiring all up including one power adapter each for laptop and eGPU is already a bad experience.

Already a terrible experience.
In my opinion. In here (NYC), food quality compared to big cities in Asia (at least that's what I know, both from 3rd world countries Asia and 1st world countries Asia) are way better than here in NYC.

It is crazy how bad food quality in NYC for its price. It is so bad that I almost feel like there is a conspiracy between restaurants in the city that goes on like this:

restaurantA: "Hey you know, we can make good food"
restaurantB: "Yes you are right, we can, but why should we? Why not just create mediocre food? If everyone of us are doing it, the customers don't have any other choice, yet we still charge them expensive price"
restaurantA: "You are right, why don't I think of that? that's genius"

I just don't understand why in Asia food quality compared to its price are just much much better. At least for Asian food. Maybe I am bias because I am Asian and used to Asian food. But yes Asian food here in NYC also not great for its price.
Yes, it must be tough with all those voices.

When the Mac was originally launched, there was an industry perception that GUIs were toys not suitable for business, so Apple was very worried that being a games platform would reinforce that image[0]. That initial worry seems to have left scar tissue in their corporate culture that would haunt Apple for decades.

It wasn't that long ago that gaming consoles were being sold at an astonishing loss, to be made up on services subscription revenue. They're mostly not loss leaders anymore, but the hardware sales are definitely not responsible for significant profits. Video game console hardware has lower margins than gaming PC components, which are already a very low-margin market segment (except where companies can get away with a 30% surcharge by adding RGB LEDs). If Apple tried to compete in that space, they'd face an instant shareholder lawsuit.
Games helped to drive and define the Apple II and Macintosh successes

Apple II, but Macintosh? I'm not sure I agree with that.

I think a lot of Jobs' opinions about personal computers gelled in the 80's. Back then, with the various Sinclair machines, the Ataris, the C64, and the Amiga, there were a lot of people who said that games actually harmed those platforms. In North America at least, having a large library of games made businesses see those platforms as toys and game consoles. Why would you buy an office full of game consoles? You're a serious business man wearing a serious business suit, running a serious business, and you need computers from a serious business computer company that can run serious business software! You need an IBM!

> Consistency is a big deal in restaurants because mismatched expectations drives bad experiences.

It could also be that the expo/chefs valued speed over anything else, I've never been or eaten at a Howards Johnoson's, but I can easily see it being an issue if you're trying to make an effort while being behind on a ton of tickets and management prioritizes volume over quality and it they're seen as the bottle neck.

I admit speed is not my strong point, but my presentation and knife skills are strong so I make up for it that way and I'm organized and clean--its what got me to work under a 3 star Michelin chef (total nightmare, he finally got fired a months after I left) despite focusing mainly on Farm to table concepts for most of my career.

But I've been judged negatively in other kitchens for playing to my strengths and believing/saying that speed comes with time--in the last place I proved that is the case and trained 4 people due to that philosophy/results.

But patience isn't exactly easily found in kitchens or tolerated amongst a bunch of fast talking, high-strung adrenaline/stress junkies which is what most chefs are, myself included.

Yeah I wonder about the real estate situation.

There is a retail development near me that sat largely empty for years. They kept it up and clean, but word was the prices were sky high. It still has a huge number of vacancies ... we're talking 5+ years after it was built.

Meanwhile other retail places had shops closing, word was the rent kept climbing.

I almost want to suggest that the local city come up with a concept that somehow would encourage actual occupancy. Granted that could be complex but it seems a real waste to have these spaces empty / taking up space with high rents where maybe some business could try to run if rents were lower...

It is a weird dynamic. It's like every spot is just waiting for a Chipotle or Noodles & Company or some small fitness fad / chain and if not that ... nothing.
Kind of. MacOS had a 68k emulator built in so that the entire OS (and application base) wouldn't have to be ported to PPC. I learned this recently when I disassembled Bolo (Stuart Cheshire, I'm trying to get ahold of you!) and found m68k instructions. Early Apple stuff is fascinating.

>So far, your point of view comes across as: "yes, he may be a buffoon, but the media overplay it, and every new action must be taken on its own merit".

If the topic is "Is Trump a buffoon?" then yes, that's a fair characterization. It is also my opinion that he is much worse than a buffoon, while also not being nearly as bad as he is often portrayed.

>the US P should not be/come across as a buffoon.

I agree.

>I do not feel no anger or the need to move away from the guidelines

I wasn't angry when I wrote that. Just like I can be angry and say something that's clearly not flamebait, I can be dispassionate and say something that is taken as flamebait. Many of my opinions about Trump, both positive and negative, add absolutely nothing of substance to the conversation, I mention some of my negative ones here partly to clarify the boundaries of agreement and disagreement between you and I.

I don't think adaptive refresh rate is what that post was referring to. Instead, I think it was referring to the difficulty in doing frame synchronization when the game is running on the discrete GPU but the display is connected to the integrated GPU. But I don't know how Apple's hardware is set up on that score.
Interesting project. Wonder if this would be useful for web based programs that could allow third party add-ons, etc... I was thinking WASM with some bindings would be prefect, but being in JS itself sounds cool as this acts as a sort of sandbox I'd imagined (Well I assume someone could try to make an infinite loops and lock it up?). Be neat if could some how try to limit/monitor memory and CPU usage.
