The first link in the article goes to another gizmodo article titled "the rise of the evolutionary psychology douchebag", so I'd add "not exactly the least biased website" to that as well.
The persistent effect of initial success: Evidence from venture capital
The main draw for the original Golden Sun games (Broken Seal and The Lost Age) for me was to just explore the world and talk to people and see how they felt about things. Helps that the game is really pretty and Sakuraba's music is amazing.
That sounds boring to me.
I think it might have to do with the fact that it is a VR game requiring a VR rig, which isn’t that common yet.

Not that you are wrong, but i feel like it would be more interesting to see those numbers in the context of the entire install base. Like, number of sales compared to the number of those devices in people’s hands.
It's good thing, but it leads to error in code which must talk to C or network, where enum's are not cast in stone.
Off by a factor of 10, looks like it was 500k but still,
I think that is a function of VR headset ownership which is only at like 2% of the market or something. Adjusted for the market it was likely pretty big. I grant that within the wider videogame market it is not nearly as relevant though.
Where in the world can you get small runs of 7nm chips, and why would you want them?

> Rust doesn't allow to enum variables to be forward compatible, i.e. it cannot have a value outside of enum

AKA Rust's enums are type-safe, not aliases for integers with some named constants.

Rather than Rust's, I'd say the mistake is C's enums. If you don't want enums, don't have them.

I guess that's one place where Go did something good: they didn't want to improve on C's enums with proper ADTs so they just stripped out the entire thing, an "enum" is an integer and a bunch of constants. Which you can also use to represent these non-enums in Rust though it doesn't have the iota / step convenience. A simple recursive macro might be able to handle it though.
Gardening, home improvements, personal or side development projects, exercise, online courses, playing music, etc.

There are plenty of activities to do that moves one's life forward, rather than the utter stagnation that is television and video games.

edit: To be clear, leisure activities definitely have their place. But to loosely paraphrase JC, while playing games is fine, it's much better to make them.

My CSV story from last night:

I had these 15MB+ excel sheets and was trying to open them with Apache POI. I gave that code a generous 2GB memory: GC overhead limit reached.

Then I opened them in Excel, saved them as CSV, reached for a CSV-library and was done within seconds.

Ok, well, the story is more about how parsing XML can ruin your day ;)

I'm working on a platform to generate simple CRUD APIs from JSON schemas: https://stackprint.io

I noticed that while working on past side projects I spent a lot of time writing simple CRUD APIs, permission checks, client code to connect and model classes which (at least for me) is usually not the most fun part when working on new app idea ;) So I started creating a concept to automate most of that for future projects and developed a simple web platform around it.

During the quarantine I've been mostly working on a set of permission rules to control access to API resources. I also started on generating client code which at least works for Angular at this point. I'm very hopeful that I can stay productive and get it to work for React/VueJS and iOS/Android as well soon :)
The cities don't have the housing and service capacity for all the people who work there.

The cities and suburbs wouldn't exist in anything near their current form without each other. Neither would exist as they are if rural areas didn't provide the resources they do with the (tiny) amount of labor they do. Our entire modern world is interconnected like that. You can try and turn policy knobs in order to have a steep urban to rural transition with minimal suburbs in between but there's always going to be a transition, never a sharp cutoff.

This is in part due to a search for yield (same as we saw with the housing crisis). There is such a glut of capital that it will invest in anything - even risky CMBS - without performing adequate due diligence. If you don't invest, someone else will. Unfettered "quantitative easing" distorts the price of risk. This is the not-so-surprising consequence.

Do gifs really only happen on slack for y'all? That's the place I encounter them the least, and I think that's a good thing.
On the other hand, a ton of other places are more suitable for gifs, and (even) less suitable for using a facebook service, so this really hurts right now.

Overall I'm quite sad to see how centralized freaking gif-sharing is, and that it's happenind mostly in walled gardens?!

Cutting reaction time to make a few extra bucks? How does that require moral flexibility?

Is the immoral part that they can use their money to make more money? If by earning more money, one can afford to buy more food in bulk and save money on that and gas, or buy a washing machine and save money on going to the laundromat, is that immoral of one to do?
This would have been a more interesting article if they had people from the evo psych camp respond to the claims. It seems like Gizmodo wanted to do a "Boom!" takedown of evo psyche ("We at Gizmodo have long rolled our eyes at evolutionary psychology..."). Anyway, the philosopher purports to address a fundamental flaw in the evo psyche framework/theory, but she seems to be simply taking issue with methodological issues: she alleges that evo psyche draws broad conclusions about all of humanity by interviewing a few college students--effectively she seems to allege that the field lacks rigor (which is odd because she also disclaims that individual evo psychologists are serious thinkers). If her characterization is accurate, this is indeed a real problem, but it's not a flaw in the framework and it hardly feels deserving of the sensational headline or the disparaging, condescending tone of the article (to be clear, only the Gizmodo editorializing comes off as condescending/disparaging; the philosopher is quite a lot more polite/reasonable).
Makes more sense. But it is easy to replace it with another giphy. Especially when there is privacy reason.

Exporting is likely the more common case and is pretty simple. Quote fields if they contain \r\n",

I'd say relax, focus on your particular problem - if a simple 2-3 line export loop fits your use case and is simpler than a csv library (e.g. in C/C++ perhaps where dependencies are a pain) then why not.

This fear mongering about "you can't possibly do this, the library writers are much smarter than you" can lead to it's own ridiculousness of hundreds of dependencies and ungodly waste of processor time, memory, build time, containerization hassle, etc. to solve what should be a simple problem.
Sometimes I think we live in a hall of mirrors.
It would because giphy is a great proxy to find out what people are CURRENTLY talking about, or how they are feeling, based on the gifs they're searching for.

This can fuel better ads. So consolidating this stuff further could have that effect.

I'm all for defense in depth but I don't see the point of a redundant cryptographic layer. It's not trivial that it doesn't broaden the attack surface instead of narrowing it.

If the argument is that a steganographic layer that involves cryptography does a better job at concealing than a similar layer that doesn't I'm also not convinced. Cryptography helps against MITM scenarios, but at that point the existence of the service is already revealed.

Hm, I think you and I mean a different thing by 'national security'. I think of, like, spying, or trying to insert malicious vulnerabilities in software (attack), etc.

Like maybe if Huawei were accused of being used by the Chinese government to spy on America, it would make sense to require a license to sell tech to Huawei. (I have sometimes seen it accused of such; I have no idea how credible such accusations are; but this is an example of what 'national security' means to me, particularly in regard to requiring licenses to do business with a particular company).

You seem to be talking about whether TSMC gets a federal subsidy or not to open a factory or not as 'national security'. I mean, I get how the general economic environment has 'national secuirty' implications; how the future access to semiconductor market has 'national security' implications. But if that's "national security" it seems like the entire economy is "national security", and "national security" doesn't actually mean anything. Especially when Huawei is being penalized for concerns about a different company?

With that understanding of national security, is there any aspect of international trade negotiations that isn't "national security", or any international trade measure that can't be said to be "justified by national security"? Do you have an example of any international trade measure (a tariff, an embargo, a subsidy, a penalty, a ban, any method of one nation trying to get an economic/trade advantage over another) that you do not think would be "national security" related under this understanding? Is there such a thing?

Among other things, it's another reminder that the era of legal-norms-based international trade has been brought to an end...

Not really. Taiwan really is an internal Chinese issue and Crimea is essentially 'repairing' the issue of a Russian territory (with majority Russian population) that was split from Russia relatively recently. Everyone knows that and thus no-one is going to start a direct war over these territories.

But even if you were contemplating a direct war the issue would be that direct wars against Russia or China are not realistic because they are nuclear powers and, in any case, too big to invade. Any direct war would certainly require a major aggression from these countries against the US themselves, which they obviously won't do in the same way as the US won't directly attack them.

It's all boils down to relative strengths and outcome of a war. There are wars that are never worth starting.

I'd recommend driving a FET or two to connect at the push button(s) (i.e. GPIO is "pushing the button") rather than the relay board to drive the motor. Not only is jumping the switch(es) more simple, you also stay on the low voltage side of things and any safeties built in would still be present.

ETA: by push buttons, I mean the "normal" garage door buttons that would open and close the door (typically on a wall in the garage.) these typically use some low power, e.g. 12-20V. And the safeties the manufacturer would have built in would still work as it'd be as if you were pressing the manufacturer's open/close button, but remotely.

Yes, many commutes from London suburbs to the centre are not easily cyclable but nor are they really drivable either due to congestion and lack of city-centre parking. Although, if you drastically reduce the number of cars on the road, then you would have more space for more direct and safe cycle routes, which would increase the number of cyclable journeys. Reduced congestion might also let you run more busses.

But yeah, ultimately the pre-Corona model of London commuting, with basically the entire population of the city going into and out from the centre at the start and end of the day is not going to be feasible anymore, no matter what mix of cars, public transport, walking and cycling you have. But we should still try to achieve a mix than enables the best possible quality of life for everyone.

I think there's another point you've missed. You sitting in your personal 2 ton steel box is good for you, but it practically takes up the entire street space, and forces pedestrians to stay on the much narrower sidewalks, breaking the 6 foot social distancing rule-of-thumb. Opening up the streets to bicycles and pedestrians allows people to use the street to maintain safe distances.
