"firing the leaker is going to rile them up more."

It seems our society has devolved into satisfying the mob rather than doing the right thing these days.

I've seen some of the comments from internal Google groups that were since leaked after this incident. Some of the most horrible thoughts and opinions were posted, with actual real names, but nobody got punished or fired. Why? Because they were progressive/hard-left thoughts and opinions.

This is all about politics and has nothing to do with right or wrong.

It's just more proof that these large tech companies are becoming the equivalent of fascist governments that police our thoughts and opinions....and punish us for wrongthink.

US's Overton Window is extremely far away from this kind of social policies. If the US can't agree on the fundamental importance of a socialized healthcare service then more daring experimental social policies such as a livable basic income is too far out to even contemplate.

But it would be awesome if they did, though. Perhaps if they slapped a "Milton Friedman approves this" sticker on it.
That alpha-blend or whatever happens as you scroll is incredibly obnoxious. I nearly clicked away and ignored this because it's so awful.

The grammar of the page suggests an asocial author with limited social skills, and perhaps a misunderstanding of what the objective of a landing page is for.

It boggles my mind that you'd consider writing this, in this manner, to try and attract interest. It sounds clunky, complicated, awkward, mechanical; there's really not enough adjectives to capture this page's problems.

Then you have a picture of code (you've automatically disqualified yourself far before now, but an image of code instead of <code> blocks will always lose my interest, personally)

To summarize, this is horrendous, and you can do better.

Isn't that solved by letting players run their own dedicated servers, like in the hood old days?

Seems like the games industry has created or at least exacerbated this problem by making everything free to play (easy to make a new account if you get banned) and by removing dedicated servers (cost problem as you mentioned)

It seems like PeerTube adoption is slower than Mastodon. Blender's instance[1] is the only other non-toy instance I know of. It's probably because video is much harder to work with, so fewer people do it in the first place.

The only reason Tesla didn't go bust, and Uber didn't go bust (yet), is the sheer quantity of capital pumped into the machine. It would be incorrect to describe it as a success story, because the story is not yet over.
I just looked up CDPATH and my understanding is that the difference between the two is that with CDPATH you are setting directories that you can quickly navigate to subdirectories of.

This is more of a quick link to directories themselves.

Maybe you could do something similar to the alias if you had my `~/.links` directory in your CDPATH, but then you'd still need to add the `-P`every time to get it to follow the symbolic link.

Not something I had ever thought of before honestly.
Good luck using any sort of GUI toolkit then. Virtually every single one requires you to sacrifice the very top level of your program to some sort of "MainLoop()" function.

(I agree with your main point, and the above fact causes a quasi-allergic reaction in me which causes me to avoid GUI programming - despite graphics being one of my favorite topics.)
The article overstates the level of closure. These streets are still fully open with grub hub and Uber eats drivers zooming through. They just have been designed mixed use streets so now they see significant more pedestrian and bike traffic. Since Seattle has few sidewalks and many areas it kind of makes sense
Format reminds me of this cold war story: https://www.tor.com/2012/07/20/a-tall-tail

A hypervisor definitely is; the "hardware" interface for a kernel running as a (performant) VM is different from the hardware interface for real hardware.

I think one could argue that containers aren't much of an abstraction for the running program itself, though, as you say. The place where containers provide an abstraction is at deployment time/process management time; the program itself has (essentially) the same API whether it's running in a container or not.

There's a lot of political effort, it seems, going in to ensuring the truth is hidden from the demos. In part this can be considered necessary - some people need lying to in order to keep them compliant and save lives, but largely is about covering up errors of judgement, and decisions that have purposefully been made against population-health advice. That effect is reduced over time, but doesn't d disappear entirely; if a politician -- or political appointee -- is in charge of the output of a scientific advisory group then their filtering will likely obscure content forever.

Does this work together with a build cache? My dream setup for dealing with building huge code bases is a file system integrated with the version control system to only download files when they are accessed (which sounds like what this does) but also employing a build cache and module system, so it doesn't even need to download and compile any module that has not been touched, it just downloads the result from the build cache instead.
In general, I'm sympathetic; games development is difficult. However, regarding "Imagine a NPC only For Honour or Rainbow Six: Siege.. that would be very boring.", I'd take it. Despite being an avid gamer, I've given up on online games precisely because of the cheating and griefing. I just don't want to deal with it anymore as a player whose free time is more and more limited as the years go by.
In the UK I disagree. I personally always prefer to pay by debit/credit card. The charges are instant (and will be displayed instantly if you use a modern bank), you get the ability to make chargebacks (or the UK's law-mandated protection for credit card customers), etc. Direct Debits on the other hand take 3 days to set up before the money actually leaves the account.

Related to this, I have this idea for a while that, publishing a paper, could mean to appear as a submission to a Hacker News style forum, where the users are identified members of the scientific community.

It would allow a kind of public review process of the paper and it would float the more interested papers for the community to the "first page".

That actually is doable. GEO is generally considered the best orbit for a solar power sat. The receiver has to be several kilometers across, but that's good because you don't actually want to fry any birds flying through.

There have even been proposals to put transmitters on the Moon, but that's stretching things.

Incidentally that's exactly what Damore was saying;

Quotas are terrible no good bad and ugly hacks which will cause a lot of harm and the reasons why are controversial.

I think 50/50 gender parity is a stupid goal too, I think more representation but if it's not 50:50 then it doesn't mean that there is sexism, 60:40 is fine even 70:30 is ok, wether it skews more to women or men, it doesn't matter, the point is that women, men, blind, black- everyone needs to have their voices heard on teams that design global products.

The closer you try to force it to 50:50 the worse and much harder it'll be, bureaucrats will love you though, at what point do you stop breaking down societal boundaries? I'd argue that getting a few voices from each are is a good thing but I don't think exactly defining the distribution of the country is a good goal.

Instead of quotas, we should investigate what would make the industry more appealing to those under-heard voices.

Damore says that women tend to favour flexible working hours, that's great Tech can support that.

Damore says that women tend to favour jobs that have a high emphasis on collaboration, excellent, tech can support that.

This is why I dislike the overwhelming criticism of Damores paper, because it's the quintessential attack on the author for daring to insinuate that women are different, instead we should boulder through the idea that Women == Men, and anything other than that is sexism, but also we want 50:50 gender parity... and why isn't it happening! sexism! therefore men are bad and we should hire women over men using quotas! that will fix it!.

It's egregious, and stupid, and harmful. And a conversation about why and trying to actually improve the situation is more fruitful than shit slinging because the only people to let Damore speak are right-wingers.

If you're left-wing (as I am) you should want him to speak, he's promoting equality and compassion.
as someone in this thread mentioned, being a "gamer" has a very strong group identity despite varying wildly across different genres and platforms

however despite the label being so shallow that literally anyone who touches a game every now and then can adopt the label, there still exist gamer "subgroups" who hold vitriolic ideas on what a "real gamer" is. I believe this exclusionary version of the label normally takes the form of men ages 15-35 lashing out at any game that veers too far from what is "acceptable" on race, gender, sex, etc. deeming them to be the byproduct of "SJWs who want to ruin our games"
How privileged can one be?
I'm right in the middle of looking to jump ship from Stripe and PayPal. Stripe is increasing their conversion fees to 2% for grandfathered accounts on June 1st. They also have a 0.6% international card fee. Since I'm Canadian, this is going to hurt.

2.9% + 0.6% + 2% + $0.30 = more than a 6-6.5% cut for 90% of my sales.

While looking around for alternatives, Braintree stood out for having reasonable fees.

Although what really surprised me was that I'm not doing things by the book. Although I'm adding a sales tax for Canadian customers, I don't do this internationally. This is okay for the US and most of the EU since I'm well below their reporting thresholds, but it certainly adds some risk in back-taxes for other countries.

That's when I stumbled on a platform called FastSpring, which acts as a merchant of record. They handle all international sales tax for you and have cool features to show prices in your customers currency, etc... They have a steep price (around 6-8% I heard) but with Stripe increasing their fees to match close to this, why not switch and possibly make due-diligence a lot easier if I decide to sell?

Anyone else in a similar position? How do you handle sales tax globally? Is there a certain revenue number you should hit before worrying about this?
Uhh cheating is normal and we had dedicated servers and OPM in the 90's to control cheaters so people could self-isolate. With modern games programmed in a stolen and underhanded way, game developers brought this upon themselves by stealing videogames from the 90's onwards.

In case you aren't aware, every fucking AAA game in the 90's had dedicated servers, lan, level editing, that went away when the public bought into the mmo scam of the late 90's which was an attack on game ownership. The whole plan was to client-server every game and undermine game ownership. The entire industry is having a field day at how stupid the public is.

https://tifca.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/ClienttoCloud_V...

So I won't feel anything for modern game companies since they are basically theives. The future many of us oldsters were expecting was boxed product + dedicated servers + level editors in the AAA space.

So I won't feel anything for the game industry, since the modern game industry and software industry more generally is an industry of theives.

Software as a service = software as a scam, nobody who wants to own their PC would ever give up ownership of their own software willingly. The internet has just made it easy for softwar ecompanies to steal software on a masse scale because their customers are too far away to effect change.

Nobody wanted steam when it was released in 2004. But since most customers are 100's of miles away from these companies and games are targeted at kids and teens. We can see why we ended up in this DRM/client server/incomplete software software dystopia.

Buying any kind of client-server software where the company can nuke the thing you purchases is de-fact stupid you lose control of your PC, your privacy and your basic rights.
Food Delivery Reaching $200B and Changing Food Industries
This is a great idea!! We need to give these poor and low-income urban and rural students as much opportunity to "get connected" as we can. There are many thousands of gifted students out there whose potential is untapped, and I think this is a great opportunity to accelerate education and foster growth.

This, too, would help with the learn-to-code movement (a skills gap that I consider essential to close). This could have far-reaching effects and do wonders to lift the next generation of poor out of poverty and into more lucrative white collar jobs.
I'm not sure what the point of this is, it is something basic but implemented poorly.

- Saving the start and end position of a string that represents a date with 16 bytes is silly. Just convert the date to 64 or 32 bit integer (or even less depending on the granularity and range of the dates).

- run through the file converting the dates to a smaller integer representation. When the array of integers is too big, sort it and use that to write a sorted text file chunk

- once that is done, merge the text file chunks together

Any good sorting algorithm is going to be able to do this in under 20 minutes with 16 cores. If IO is a bottleneck it would be much worse while trying to swap around text lines in a giant memory mapped file.
That’s like suing people for telling others that you’re gay. That’s a standard of liability people would never rally behind, one which prevents you from speaking truthfully at the cost of another person.
A one way function cannot be reversed by definition. I obviously meant finding a set of possible strings that produce that hash and one of them will likely be the image name. "Reverse" wasn't the perfectly accuarate word to use but sometimes a bit of intuition goes a long way.
I think expenditures such as these, aimed directly at enabling community members to be more equal in terms of their ability to participate in the modern world and give themself a hand up are fantastic.

I remember reading a study that looked at life expectancy of cycling vs driving, which I unfortunately can’t find right now, in many cities around the world.

The TL;DR in almost all cities you’ll live longer cycling (even considering extra exposure to pollution and road accidents) than driving. Except in a very small handful of city, none of which were in the US.

So cycling in SF is probably better for you than driving. But that doesn’t mean it’s gonna be a pleasant experience. (I mean getting injections isn’t fun, but vaccines are definitely good for you).
May 1941 – The British capture their first Enigma machine
If they want to limit cars usage there is no need of cycling paths. Two ways streets become one way on one lane, the other lane is for bicycles. It must be designed to let cars reach all destinations but there is plenty of space out there in our cities (UK and everywhere else) when cars don't take it away.
I appreciate that you specified "pedantically". A whole thread on an inaccurate use of the word "reverse". Oh boy!
I have to imagine they scale the server amounts based on metrics. Running an appropriate amount of servers scaled with active installs is probably cheaper than all of the extra production value and dev work you have to add for a great single player game.
> but they're particularly off putting to women.

This is the crux of the issue. For this to be true, it must also be true that men and women are, at least in some ways, intrinsically different (otherwise why would these things pose a greater challenge for women relative to men)?
That's good news, you can play R6 with bots only.

Seems like not many people choose that option though. :)

Tesla seems to be pretty successful now. Plenty of cash in bank, (finally) profitable and a good amount of growth.
Worth noting how some people, including mainstream press, have vilified WHO for saying there was "no evidence yet of human-human transmission" (at the point there was no evidence yet), and for saying (paraphrasing) "it's not a pandemic yet, not until there's community spread across global regions" when it wasn't yet a pandemic.

So, yes, I'd agree with your 3rd para, but press can spin such statements to create reputational damage which is really underserved.
Perhaps irradiating yourself with UV rays might help after all!

The delay isn't about just about technical countermeasures. It's about giving time for other options to work. These could have included: engagement and diplomacy, regime change, or direct action.

In addition, by increasing the cost of developing these systems, you force hostile (or non-friendly) governments to split their resources. Every bit of funding that went into building a rocket is a bit of funding that doesn't go to Quds Force.
Sure, but I thought the consideration here was about UAVs and the such :)
