God, and whenever something is deprecated, they don’t update the documentation with new info and sometimes they remove pages of older info that’s still usable.

I also had a free edition installed on an old laptop and wanted to make a quick edit to an old game to send to someone. But nope, needed to update my license first to open the engine, but the version was old enough that the reactivation button somehow became invalid and rendered it unusable. Basically had to tell the person “I know exactly how to fix the issue with the game but Unity won’t let me.”

"“We were blown away when we saw the results, in disbelief that AI could recreate the iconic PAC-MAN experience without a game engine,” said Koichiro Tsutsumi from BANDAI NAMCO Research Inc., the research development company of the game’s publisher BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc., which provided the PAC-MAN data to train GameGAN. “This research presents exciting possibilities to help game developers accelerate the creative process of developing new level layouts, characters and even games.”"

Emphasis mine.

Also, while I disagree that this would be real "fair use" (rather than Internet Pundit fair use, which is virtually indistinguishable from "I want this, so it must be legal") without permission, it wouldn't matter anyhow. If nVidia did this without permission and tried to distribute exactly what we saw, it would also be a trademark violation. Pacman is almost certainly in the top 1% of defended trademarks, if not .1% or .01%... not a great thing to try to use without permission.
This is like ranking software engineers solely on the number of Microsoft certifications they have and the total number of open issues in their GitHub repos.
This is the last evolution of the quite old APM X-Gene microarchitecture and you can see it's way worse per clock than Cortex-A72. Ampere just had to have something out of the door in 2019 I guess.

The new Ampere "Altra" chip is going to be like an Amazon Graviton2, but higher clocked, so that's going to be really fast.
I've just modified my Firefox like this and I'm now also in love with it. Tree organization plus seeing whole/most tab names is such an improvement. F1 to easily hide the bar if I want the space back. Made a few "header" web pages to organize stuff under for later reading/watching (and can then collapse the tree when I don't need all of it.

Only issue is that removing the tab bar also got rid of the close/minimize/maximize buttons, but it's not a big deal since you can still drag the window to make it smaller, double click to maximize, and alt+F4 exists to close it. As long as I never want to minimize it anyway.
It's not "just" PG, it's like a mega-extension with data-types and tuple-layout and a tonne of magic for the data-domain.

You can, of course, make similar models with plain PG - in the same way one does GIS without PostGIS.
Very nice project!
Few comments thought:

- First thing I tried was to move the annotation

- I would use this extension for reading little movies/series analysis during the video (imagine Alt Shift X doing this stuff for series on Netflix or whatever, could be very nice).

Otherwise, very good job.

Why do you need access to the areas protected by SIP?
Well if you analyze Unity you'll see they send all meshes every frame. It might be because they want to be able to apply the same shaders on characters as on objects, but still vertex GPU skinning is the way to go and Unity does not. So you can't build a MMO with Unity!
It has some value add features, like authentication that you don't have to handle. It's also an autoscaling API layer if all it needs to do is query several of your backend services. It's probably less useful if you have a monolithic app so all the requests are just passed through, unless you use a lot of the value adds.

I'm not a Lambda expert though, there might be things I missed.

Ideals for the sake of ideals doesn't resonate with me, in software or outside of it. Give me a practical reason.

The expiry clause is interesting, but I'm not sure it matters in practice. Not many people want to use code several years out of date instead of the current version just because of practically no additional freedoms. Except maybe a potential competitor. I'd be happier to have a reversion to an OSI license if the product stops being maintained or gets acquired and shutdown. That's always a risk with young companies.
There are two new Security/Privacy Settings that I just noticed last night.

"Full Disk Access" to allow a program to access any place on your computer without a warning. A few programs requested this, so it looks like it's been around for a while.

The other one is "Developer Tools" and it looks pretty new. The only application requesting it is "Terminal". This "allows app to run software locally that do not meet the system's security policy". So, my reading of this is that in Terminal, you could run scripts that are unsigned and not be penalized speed-wise.

I do not believe that Apple (a design company), can match the quality of Google (an algorithmic organization company), simply by allocating resources.

You can read two excellent essays by Justin O'Beirne on Google[0] vs. Apple's[1] methodologies for creating and organizing mapping data. It seems a straightforward conclusion that mapping is simply a problem that's a better fit for Google as a company than Apple.

Also note how slowly Apple's strategy has been rolled out (3% of the U.S.’s area in 2018), waiting for this work to be rolled out simply wasn't tenable.

> conference videos

TikTok is for killing time and having fun. If you're learning on TikTok it's by accident. The videos are limited to a minute, ffs. That's why it's fun and it's good that people who take it too seriously are put off by the format and leave.

> I had to delete it

You can curate the apps allowed to notify you on your phone. For me, my phone makes a noise when someone is calling me (a good old-fashioned phone call) and that is the only notification I allow. If you're deleting apps for that, you're missing out.

> young people who have their friends on it

You're thinking of snap. Young people don't have their friends on tiktok, they are mostly hoping not to meet people they know on there so they don't get in trouble for how they use it.

When a platform captures the leisure of young people, it develops a culture with its own conventions and art. TikTok is the first platform I've been excited by since early Twitter. The fact that old people don't get it is a huge benefit. TikTok doesn't want your boring conference videos.
Show HN: One Goal Personal Finance PWA
One Goal is a personal finance Progressive Web App (PWA) that works on iOS, Android, and desktop with live-syncing budget categories and the ability to share your budget with your spouse.

You can create a spending plan for free - and view your planned cash flow over the next year, then if you need help executing on that plan, you can sign up for a subscription to track transactions, account balances, and link your accounts via Plaid (optional).

It's similar to YNAB or Everydollar - the major difference is:
One Goal has you create a budget for the entire year - and set aside money weekly to accomplish your goals and pay your bills. Unlike Mint.com where it just reports where your money went, One Goal gives you a plan to follow, and YOU categorize the transactions. Categorizing every transaction might seem like a bit of extra work, but thats why it works! My wife and I have used it for over a year now, and we've got a handful of paying customers now, so give it a go! I'd love to hear what you think.

Tech Used:

The linked website isn't loading, so I don't know what it says, but: if we're talking about notarization, you can "staple" the notarization to a .app or a .pkg, which means you don't have to do the internet lookup at all, and you can run the apps without having access to the internet. I'm not sure about the technical details, but I would assume you add some sort of signature that's like "This .app with hash X has been notarized and it's fine" signed by Apple's secret key.

EDIT: how to staple: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/notarizing_m...
> The giga in giga factory used to refer to GW. That's a good indication of what they are planning to do.

Haha, I never thought about that. That's actually a really clever way of quantifying the output of a battery factory. Battery capacity can be measured in watt-hours, so battery factory output could be measured in watt-hours of battery capacity produced over time, and power*time/time just reduces back to power (measured in watts).

Therefore, you could say that a factory which produces an average of 1 Gigawatt-hours of battery capacity every hour is producing 1 Gigawatt of battery capacity. I like it.

And yeah, a TW factory sounds like it'd be operating on a pretty ridiculous scale if it lives up to its name.

I do think it's a useful feature, except as I think most people finally agree, MI is more often than not a cause for confusion.

It's funny that of all the different method combinators (another source of confusion) only that one was chosen.

I'll just sit back and eat popcorn as I work with my custom handmade game engine. None of this is a concern for me, and it has been refreshing to work directly with the graphics pipeline and in lower level languages that give me direct control. If something is wrong, it's my own damn fault.

For those who want to get away from being totally dependent on third-party frameworks and tools, check out Handmade Hero. It was life-changing for me, the difference between making a game I'm happy with vs. not.

I also have a YouTube series discussing how to get setup on a Mac, if that's that platform you're starting with.

https://youtu.be/M5l6CvHwWsc

I'm not really sure why more people don't do their own thing. It has been really satisfying for me. Overall, the process of making games is way more rewarding, and I think I'll have something better on the other end of all of this.

Plus I'm getting better as a programmer, which helps with other aspects of employment.

> I think "[&]" is broken.

I feel like this is consistent with the "pay for what you use" design. Why capture all variables in scope by copies when you can just capture them all as references (which might go out of scope)? If you truly need to capture other stuff, you can do so using more syntax. If "[&]" did what you describe then "wtf, why is it saying I have a deleted copy constructor for some value I'm not using" or "wtf, why is my code so slow because of unnecessary copies of large objects" would be all sorts of fun.

It seems incredibly stupid to let financial control over all the innovation that’s happening in the Bay be in the hands of NYCs financial markets.

Could they be cutting holes in the leaves and inserting some sort of pollen solution (gathered from other plants) and when the non-flowering plant gets the chemical marker for "other plants are pollenating" then it tricks the plant into believing it it is time to flower?

Taiwan is not yet a country based on wishes of its founding father, it’s still one part of China (Chiang Kai Shek‘a body is still waiting for going to China to have a proper burial one day when Taiwan and China is one). I doubt USA will ever help them to be an independent country because than they won’t play a part of being puppet in its bidding to control Asia Pacific, given Taiwan At present is playing a puppet in hands of USA, and with 40% economic downturn it’s just a matter of time they will fight US’s war and suffer the consequences.

If you look at the language of the CPC meeting today you will know they have already removed the word peaceful reunification, which is an indication that they have accepted that if push comes to shove they need to fight USA through Taiwan (which will be very unfortunate in my view as they should determine their own course, independent of USA).

Something similar to what you describe is already being done. Game video is streamed to a Raspberry Pi Zero that sits between the real mouse and the Gaming PC and adjusts the mouse movements. Google for "Valorant RPi0" for videos to see this in action.

Here is an excerpt from a now deleted Reddit comment where the setup is described:

> "My pi is connected to my pc as a HID device with all the descriptors matching a legitimate mouse. My actual mouse is not connected to my pc and the movements are relayed through to the pi over wifi (UDP). My pc records my screen and streams info to my pi over wifi which my pi happily adjusts as seen in the video."
