seriously, I have it sitting on my PS4 at like 95-100% in everything after one playthrough when I first got it, except Area 5 because I really cannot be bothered to run it like 5x in a row to remember all its little tricks. I'll probably buy it again when I replace this PS4 and there's a re-remake.

If you haven't played Polybius or Sayonara Wild Hearts, I can highly recommend them - they are both games that stroke their fingers gently across the same places that Rez tickles.
Not indefinite lock down, but tight border controls. There are only a couple of hundred active cases in NZ currently. We are looking at exiting from our stricter lockdown next week.
I wonder what all those darkmarkets use. I assume they are pretty resilient!
It’s not just assuming they match our own. The kinds of distributions we see in our civilisation (country land are distribution, population distribution, etc) are also seen in many, many other phenomena. Species ranges, species population sizes, planet and asteroid size distributions, island size distributions, mountain size distributions and many many other phenomena. All it’s assuming is that the number of a thing inversely correlates to the size of the thing. Small things tend to be numerous and big things tend to be scarce. We see this in all sorts of phenomena. Not all phenomena, but many, many.

On that basis, the argument would be that since that inverse correlation seems to be extremely common, it”s also likely to be found in the distributions of Intelligent species. Not guaranteed, but very likely. I think it’s an interesting argument.
Yes it's clear that you're stating your opinion. I asked for supporting evidence because I'm not persuaded by your opinion since I have the opposite opinion.
But that isn't very helpful nor really that useful. Computers aren't single purpose appliances (even if some people treat them like that but even in that case, they tend to have different opinion about what sort of appliances they are). Ubuntu (and i guess Fedora) out of the box isn't that useful and the moment you install anything that wasn't made with, say, Gtk3 in mind things start to crack. Actually i think in Ubuntu you do not even need to install anything, just open the web browser and things start to not mesh that nicely.

And IMO if anything, the reason you get all those different behaviors is exactly because things break. If Gtk3 was backwards compatible with Gtk2 (in a fantasy world where the Gtk developers did learn from the mistakes of Gtk1 to Gtk2 breakage and designed their Gtk2 APIs to avoid it in the future) then all Gtk2 applications would gain, if not all, then at least some of the new functionality in Gtk3. Programs that were abandoned would still get some of the new stuff while programs that are under development would be able to keep using whatever they are using and upgrade in their own pace only the minor differences that were needed for the new functionality.
And it happened to me! model 1796 128gb. They kept repeating to install recovery images until I got tired for days. When I traveled back to Miami they didn't want to repair it -now I know that they couldn't!- They offer heavy discounts on newer models but I wasn't going to fall for that. Long story short, they gave me a brand new replacement unit.
It sounds like it's actually "pay more if it is urgent".

> But there is an incredible perfection and tightness (despite the extended durations) of form on all the tracks on that album.

Exactly. I think the reviewers just didn't get the whole concept.. just redoing old tracks, in a better way.

It's kind of the software way of life (v1, v2, etc - you keep iterating, by default).

It's also similar to how Mike Oldfield keeps working on variations of Tubular bells, and they do keep getting more and more interesting.
Why not? In a physical restaurant you would casually mention it to the waiter and they'd apologise and offer to replace it for free. Similarly, if you order something online and get the wrong items delivered you'd send it back.
We host our own GitLab instance and it's been great. Performance is way better than the public GitLab site and it's been dependable. It would be nice to disable some of the features but, overall, everyone at my company is happy.

I hate the consent popups, but to me they signal something different to me than I think perhaps they do you or the parent commenter.

Bear in mind:

- Extra data collection or processing must be opt in.

- Not opting in must be as easy as opting in.

- The content must be available if the user chooses not to opt in.

Then:

For instance, you go to a site, tumblr.com for example. Why is not important. You get a consent popup. Opting in to extra data collection is easy but you don't want to. Navigating this consent popup is almost impossible. within a few clicks you are lost, you find a list of several hundred "partners" tumblr wants to share your data with. All are checked and need to be individually unchecked. You still can't work out how to opt out.

To me it's like someone's trying to scam you out of your data. They are so desperate to get your information that they are jumping through all sorts of hoops to try to trick you into giving it.

Do I really want to give my data so an entity that is acting so creepily? Nope. I close the window.
Actually tlds may have restrictions and can enforce them. This isn't very common, and most of the past issues with IO has been their very slow time processing registration requests as opposed to content takedowns, but some tlds require ssl and others do restrict adult content. Some restrict things to a given topic (which they get to be the judge of) and others require legal hoops to register such as proving you're a non-profit.

With the explosion of tlds and those tlds being privately owned, there's a good chance we'll see more of these problems in the future though right now it just seems like the owning orgs are just looking for easy money.
I meant total cases, not active cases. Total cases can't go down, as it is just everyone confirmed, active, recovered, or dead.

You are right about active cases.
Love the UI, not the logic.

Supply based pricing is a poor communicator of value.

Substitute the cost to the founder with the cost of a substitute for the customer.

Example: I have a side project that takes me an hour or so each month but saves my clients $400/month.

Should I charge the $2/mo the calculator recommends or the $99/mo that I'm currently charging?

Every click costs Google essentially the same, so why charge 10x as much for the search "apartments for rent near me" than the search "knitting pattern for dog sweater"?

Again, love the UI!

Deniers keep assuming that everyone will haplessly let themselves get infected. And the pandemic will be over in a couple of weeks. That is an incredibly stupid thing to believe.

Consider. Lets say that because people are terrified of the virus they protect themselves. Which to their credit most people are. And the growth rate drops from 35% to 5% a week. So how long does it take to get from 2% infected to 60%? Do the math and you find out it's 70 weeks or 18 months.
... That's about sex? I would have thought it would be very uncomfortable, with all the anachronistic chain mail and so on.

Edit responding to you edit: Okay, based on that thesis pretty much everything, beyond the bare essentials of life, is about sex. Which doesn't really sound plausible.
I've run a couple of H4D Lean Start Up based activities on the problem around the carriage of batteries/power by light infantry dismounted patrols.

As a light infantry guy myself, it's a significant problem for an already weight burdened dismounted force.

I think it's going to require a fundamental rethink on just-in-time logistics as well as learning how to think like an insurance actuary.

I wonder if a study has ever been done on what is carried but never/rarely used on patrols and carried mostly for insurance purposes.

Surely there's room for factual, data driven machine learning here to trump feelings based load burdening.
Also a way around price gouging laws. Many vendors cannot raise wages to attract more couriers since they are legally barred from raising prices. So they position this as a new service.
I'm not gonna lie. From the perspective of somebody that commits every day with purpose, this is even more scammy then selling email spam-list. This invalidates my hard work.

For Github Actions, the product launch has been a major success and has become a new monetizable product. Anecdotally, I've heard of some companies moving their Jenkins/Circle CI/Travis CI workflows over to it, better proof is the sheer number of Github Actions that are now easy to install. This also allows Github to compete directly with Bitbucket and Bitbucket pipelines.

If your question is about who is asking for Github Codespaces, I'm not totally sure. Personally, for small changes it would be nice to be able to edit directly in Github but I certainly wouldn't pay for it. I imagine that core why behind this product release (besides the fact that most of this functionality was already pre-built and easy to reuse) is that it improves the user experience for anyone working from their chromeOS device, tablet and phone improving brand loyalty and capturing new users, especially students who may only have chromeOS devices.
I don’t think anyone is claiming the UK hasn’t got its fair share of cleaning up todo.

But that doesn’t change the fact that CA and the US is equally, if not more, guilty. It’s not like the US opted out of the industrial revolution, or the subsequent oil based economy.

The vast majority (~70%) of total human Co2 emissions happened after 1960. Since the 1960 the US has been the largest Co2 emitter until ~2000 when China became the largest emitter.

But the US has been consistently, and continues to be, the largest emitter per capita, generally emitting twice the amount per capita of the UK.

So in short, the UK may have committed sins. But the US has worked hard and managed to commit even greater sins on almost every environmental metric. I’m sorry, when it comes to environmental damage the UK and EU just can’t compete with what the US has inflicted and continues to inflict.

There are situations in which even vim will write directly to the file. When you do not have write permissions on the directory, vim will not be able to create a new file and will therefore "reuse" the existing file.

Edit: Here is the list in the vim source code when it will not use rename:

I'm surprised why cars still don't include a charge controller that counts the amount of energy in/out of the battery and gives you a battery gauge, or even a simple voltage gauge.

We can do it just fine in cheap laptops (with lithium batteries which require more complex charge management), why can't we do it for cars that cost tens of thousands?

Anyone out there have any good resources for using Sonic-Pi (or anything else) as a hands on way to to learn more about music theory?

Why passwords?

One of the very best things about secsh (the IETF's working groups sometimes have fun names, hence their group replacing the Common Authentication Technology is named 'kitten') was that they specifically required Public Key Authentication as a MUST in the standard.

That doesn't mean everybody's SSH setup actually does public key auth, in fact since quite intentionally IETF standards have no "teeth" it doesn't even mean nobody ignores the MUST and refuses everything except passwords, but it does mean one less excuse.

If you use public key authentication then the bad guys in this scenario only get a small privacy hole, whereas if you used passwords they learn your credentials and can impersonate you.
I found this funny because the opposite thought also exists by Henry Royce (of Rolls-Royce), lifted straight from wikiquotes:

Probably the most tiresome, as I see it constantly. It normally manifests itself as a squad goes into a dangerous situation, and then all split off and wander around on their own. Eventually, most get back together, then wonder "Where's Bob? Did anyone see where Bob went?" and of course, Bob has gotten into big trouble.

"The Walking Dead" was so full of this lazy trope I gave up watching it.

Plan for mobile apps is to build those on top of the Rust core, using methods similar to the FullStory posts here over the past couple of weeks. We had a Xamarin thing working at one point, but it was... Xamarin. We can also work through WebBluetooth on android devices (and there's a WebBLE iOS browser in the store), so that's a crappy-but-workable option.

Standing up services is something I really want to get to, with the plan being to run a containerizable system with optional hosting similar to Discourse/Matomo/etc models, but first I gotta stop rewriting the damn core library.

Anecdote: After I released my fist software in 2002 I received an order by fax. Unfortunately my HP Office Jet had an error and refused to print the fax, so I called HP customer service. They told me to shut the device off and on again. I told them that this is not an option, because there is an order worth real money inside the device's memory. So the great guy at the other end of the line told me to take out the cardridge and give it a good wash and rub. I placed it back in and the Office Jet started printing the order. It was a 1000$ order by Lehman Brothers! I am still telling my friends that this was the final straw that broke Lehman Brother`s neck several years later :)

It's definitely idiosyncratic, as one would expect. A more interesting question is 'does it produce interesting results'. To my eyes and tastes, not really. The filter easily misses piles of the sort of 'news' it is trying to avoid and the quality of the rest of what passes doesn't appear to be any better (to put it mildly) than the HN front page.

Mercilessly culling even slightly frequent submitters (this includes people who, say, mis-posted something and then quickly made another post to correct the problem) is a pretty fun idea though, I wonder what you'd end up if you applied this iteratively over a long period of time.
Only on HackerNews would "I'm not an expert on laws" be an acceptable answer to this sort of thing, much less the idea that you should check on relevant laws only after shipping a product.
GDPR was explicitly designed to be "general". Specifying website behaviour is a bit specific for a regulation that wants to regulate privacy at a whole (in virtual and reallife interactions). Of course that also means that the regulation is quite lacking when it comes to specifics but that wasn't its goal. The goal was to be a fallback-law which regulates everything that is not explicitly regulated otherwise.

What you want is the ePrivacy Directive which "introduced" the cookie banners many years ago and its updated version which is (still) not ready.
I disagree, I appreciate the just-the-facts approach which leads to brevity and clarity. It may not lead to a complete understanding (such as the info provided by your parent comment), but chances are that following links in Wikipedia will find a lot of the same info.

I feel a lot of science writing appeals to emotion and has to overplay their subject matter to get readers, burying many interesting or relevant details deep in a long article. Wikipedia may be dry, but it avoids that.

Of course, different people like different styles, so some people learn better or enjoy narrative and story, others want dry facts. But it’s not a problem with Wikipedia.
Along the same lines, my new (to me) Apple Thunderbolt display generates a ridiculous amount of heat, and the vents are on the bottom, right above my keyboard (I have the display on a VESA mount). Which is great, because my hands get cold easily and my office doesn't get very warm. It won't be very fun come summer though.
Understood; I was not trying to dispute your post or anything. It's an overall point that when faced with this bash behavior, the correct response should be not to be more careful, but redesign whatever system is running it in such a way that this can be a production problem in the first place.

And that may be true most of the time, but not during this pandemic, if you want to stay home to protect yourself. None of those places have delivery, at least not that I know of, so I would have to go there to shop. I'm not even sure if they have Curbside pickup options.

> Build infrastructure without understanding the use case? Premature optimization.

Hence my issues with micro services and Kubernetes/containerisation (by default.)

I've always hated the fact people simply jump onto these technologies and methodologies as if they're automatically the right solution because everyone is talking about them. What they don't understand is that they're optimisations.

You build a monolith and put it on one machine to begin with. No load balancer. Just a single EC2 instance with snapshots. As the customer count grows and demand increasing you scale it out...

Now you're on two EC2 instances and might want to consider using RDS. You have an ALB and you're using ACM to offload TLS certificate management. More customers come along and the monolith begins to slow down, so you optimise the application this time...

Now you have the most successful/popular parts of your application split out into separate components but still using the same database. You're still just running Docker on a few EC2 instances though. You don't need orchestration yet. But now your customers start demanding more features and changes on a more frequent basis. Also your customer count is rising more and more. You're now ready to scale out and re-architect things again...

Now you've got 80-85% of your monolith split out into separate components, in Docker images, and you're using Kubernetes to orchestrate the whole thing because you need to iterate and deploy parts of the software on a near daily basis.

Taking it slow and keeping things simple in the beginning allows you to focus (from a systems perspective) on stability and security, which are much easier when you have a monolith and two EC2 instances. As you need to iterate faster and more often you increase the complexity of the network to meet the needs of the development team. It becomes much harder to secure and manage, but the trade off is worth it.

That's how you optimise your infrastructure over time.

The only situation in which I would contradict my self on this point is if you're developing a product that you know will need micro services and K8s to begin with AND everyone on the team has extensive experience implementing an application in that manner.
