The entire draw of Unity and Unreal is that they target all platforms. With regards to Linux, Epic Games has released their games for Linux in the past. There is no commercial incentive to release games for Linux, though. The game engines will support Mac ARM if game developers require that feature, and game developers will target Mac ARM if there is a commercial case for it.

The existence of gaming on Mac I think is largely due to companies that support it by choice, like Blizzard, and I don't see why they would abandon the platform due to a CPU architecture change.

Or rather, building your house on a ship, which may or may not sink.
That's great to know, thanks!

Reading the description it almost seemed too good to be true but if it's indeed objectively better in basically every situation I should probably give it a try.

Hm, yes, I see your point. I was assuming it was the latter, but it might not be; it would depend on the details of what's going on in the brain and the rest of the body.

Are you or your product affiliated with Fitbit? If not, I think it is a terrible idea.

If you like the concept how about "The Fitness Tracker to Shape Up Your Business". Same idea without the cease and desist hassles.

Note, that I see no problem using "Fitbit for Your Business" as a concept in an in-person sales/investor pitch, just you absolutely cannot market publicly like that.

In which real world situation/scenario is this a problem? It is hard to think of one, but I am probably missing something?

In any case, if that was a real show-stopper, it would probably be much wiser to go with a fork that would modify that one thing, instead of re-writing the whole project.

I didn't ask what they thought. I asked what you think.

If your answer is that you just accept whatever the "activist judges" think as a corrective to what the "democratically elected representatives" think, then you are just as much at the mercy of what the "activist judges" believe as a black person in the Jim Crow South was at the mercy of what the "democratically elected representatives" believed. The "activist judges" did something you agree with this time, but they could just as well do something you disagree with, or that prevents you from doing something you want to do or takes away something you think you have a right to, next time.

> wifi

WiFI is working, but not `802.11n/ac`, so you're limited to `802.11g` which sucks, but I use it with ucb-c dongle, so not much of an issue for me. I don't use any GUIs for WiFi because I use the same 3 networks.

Yeah, just like linux it doesn't support fancy states that windows does, but suspend to ram works. Works perfect with laptop lid, but you do need to change a sysctl thingy.

I can go entire work day on a single charge for my x1 carbon (gen 6). I know that because I forgot to plug it in multiple times.

I'm sure OpenBSD has it worse tho.

Yes, much better that these engineers and technicians mostly departed to other nations, or went on to build canoes or pots and pans, as good Canadians should.
For US aerospace contracts, one of the standard provisions is the disposal and destruction of any remaining products and tooling. This is done for compliance with ITAR regs, to prevent advanced technical information from reaching other countries. No buying a booster prototype at auction for you!

What was bizarre about (aboot) the Arrow program is that the entire company staff were fired, and the Canadian military was sent in to destroy all records, drawings, test data, and of course the destruction of the six flyable aircraft. The program was replaced with US made BOMARC missiles, so there's one clue.
The SAT goes from 200 - 800. If test prep raises average score by 100 points, there still is some room for the test to show actual knowledge.

The college board says that an SAT is better predictor of success in college than GPA, which based on my experience of American high schools makes sense. I get that wealth probably has a positive correlation to both. But it seems that should matter a little.
I rely on those static builds and they are a lifesaver. Careful with linking to this website from automation scripts, etc. as the downloads are regularly swapped and only certain versions (IIRC latest in a point release) are kept available. E.g., 4.3.0 will be taken down once 4.3.1 is available, however 4.3.1 might be permanently moved to the archive if it shall be the last 4.3.? release before 4.4.0.
That being said, music etc. is at least correlated with demographics. I could see it being useful to a degree for recommending other content types.

Agree absolutely. I think real problem is our interview process. More focus is given on solving tricky questions than overall craft. In day to day tasks, how many times you have to implement those algorithms ? (I am not against knowing algorithms though). Good code is which performs requirement perfectly and MAINTAINABLE.

Python's PEP 20/zen of python is one of the best guide for craft, imo. It works well for individual programmer as well as for teams.

From that survey, is you look at positive (would like to learn + would use again) vs. negative responses (not interested + would not use again), it looks like React is crushing everything outright. 85% positive / 15% negative. Amongst the other frameworks, the only one without at least 50% negative response is Vue at 43% positive / 35% negative, with a heart "never heard of it" segment as well.
For me, and I think for many others, this is precisely the long term problem with printing: it is the exact opposite of capitalism.

he whole point of capitalism is to make capital scarce, and thus necessarily rejecting certain ideas (prospectuses), prevent them from being funded. If everything gets funded/rescued - what is the point?
You are comparing the blaming bankers who were actually responsible for the financial crisis to the scapegooating of Jews in Nazi Germany, and this was the closest modern example you could think of in a world where e.g., there are concentration camps on the American-Mexican border.

> "Trust less" however is a matter of definition.

Well yes, and you are stretching that definition really far, if you are presenting Ripple as a "trustless" platform. They are very far from Satoshi's cypherpunk vision (which while is perhaps extreme in some ways, a lot of people really like, and most importantly, it actually works in practice, in PoW chains). Ripple's "trustlessness" is about as trustless as the SWIFT network.

> you have no way to assure that you will not see a different and longer chain later on that is also verifiable and correct and thus would change "your assumed correct past state".

Yes, you do, you wait for 6 confirmations. This has been, i fact, working in practice for all of the history of Bitcoin. This principle, in the context of the Bitcoin network has historically had less outage time than any one of the world's stock exchanges or banks.
> Then the energy remaining at the end of the process would not be zero.

I didn’t say it would be. The final energy would be in the rest mass of the particles, and that’s all the energy there would be, despite just having pumped an entire star masses worth of energy into it to counteract the gravitational energy of the star.

You’re reading what I wrote and then filtering that into something completely different. You’re not actually replying to what I’m saying, but some bizarre distorted misunderstanding of it. To illustrate...

> Because you said "the energy required would be equal to the energy in those particles (from their mass, nuclear forces,
etc)"; you included "mass" in the energy that would be
required to overcome gravity, and would therefore be gone at
the end of the process.

I didn’t say anything about using the mass of the particles to move them about. That is utter nonsense. I just said that’s how much energy it would take. It’s a general point about the amount of energy in the system.
That only really works for small projects though.

AFAIK today Apple is the only big developer making exclusive macOS products. If you think about it the vast majority of big apps are crossplatform projects (Adobe, Autodesk, Microsoft, all browsers, audio, video editing, animation, 3d, etc).

Machine learning requires a lot of nuts and bolts devops type stuff that isn't directly related to the problem you're trying to solve. I think it's a shame that a lot of this stuff gets reinvented at different companies and kept under a cloak of secrecy.

Turbojets, turbofans, and turboprops all use gas turbines. The "jet" in this context refers to the action of the exhaust, not the mechanism creating the exhaust (which is the gas turbine.) Turbojets and Turbofans both create jets of hot exhaust gas to produce thrust. Turbojets produce thrust exclusively with this jet of exhaust gas, while turbofans produce some [often most] of their thrust by using some of the turbine's output to turn a ducted fan. Turboprops don't produce any meaningful jet of exhaust gas, instead using the output of the gas turbine to turn a propeller.

Related to turboprops are turboshaft engines, which turn a power transmission shaft instead of a propeller directly. In some cases, like the V-22 Osprey, the line between a turboprop and a turboshaft is blurred. But some clear examples of turboshaft engines are in modern helicopters and Abrams tanks.

There are some kinds of jet engines that don't use turbines. Ramjets and scramjets don't use turbines, but have 'jet' in the name because they produce their thrust using a jet of hot exhaust gas. Rocket engines produce jets of hot exhaust gas, but aren't called jet engines because.. reasons.

> jet: A collimated stream, spurt or flow of liquid or gas from a pressurized container, an engine, etc.

(Note that this makes turboprop engines not jet engines, but turbojet and turboprop engines are both gas turbine engines.)
I've actually been wondering as covid19 winds down and people's lived experiences no longer perceive it as the doom and gloom threat it once held sway with, if given that perception whether the market rewards will continue to stand and attract massive investments in pursuit of a vaccine where the rewards may not outweigh the risks.

I would think that would be a pretty strong signal that covid is not as large a risk if big industries don't think it worthwhile to pursue any longer. Along those lines of thinking have any of the big pharmaceutical companies given serious pursuit of a vaccine or is it mainly smaller outfits?

I'm pretty sure that's Zerohedge, and as I said Zerohedge is full of lunatics that was already kicked off the ad network anyways. The Federalist didn't say the protests are fake, i think. If anything, there seems to be tons of articles about the protests and how they show the "hypocrisy of the left" when it comes to the coronovirus lockdowns. That implies that they aren't fake, and I can't find anything on the Federalist arguing anything like that.
> Are conservative statements on, say, ending illegal immigration really any more controversial than leftist statements on encouraging illegal immigration?

How can something be compared to something that doesn't exist?

> Far more than half of America is against illegal immigration yet the AP, newsrooms across America, Universities, etc refuse to even use the term illegal immigration and recognize the problem for what it is, in spite of the majority of America's agreement on the seriousness of the problem.

Even people who would agree if asked that “illegal immigration” is a problem don't necessarily prefer the term “illegal immigration”, and very often don't agree with other people who agree with that question as to what the nature of the problem is.

After all, people who think that the main problem is the system that produces illegal status for people who should be allowed, or even encouraged, to immigrate and people who think that the system is perfect but for it's failure to actually exclude all the people to whom it denies legal status can both easily agree with the statement “illegal immigration is a problem”. It's a statement people can agree with with no agreement on substance.

Generally speaking, waiting to buy a computer is always better, because next year's tech is always better than this year's tech. So you only buy a computer when you need one.

Is your current computer slow in ways that you find annoying? Slow enough that you want an upgrade? If so, buy a new computer (or if its only slow in one or two benchmarks... like I/O or Video games, buy a faster SSD or GPU instead). If not, then wait another year or two and ask yourself the question again.

I'm surprised that medical studies seem to happen in silos. The severity of adverse effect is well known in China during the 2003 SARS period. Dexamethasone is cheap probably due to the mass production of the drug in China in the early noughties. Before isolating the coronavirus of SARS corticosteroid drug abuse led to serious problems where patients had their lives saved but eventually disabled.

The chinese lead scientist in SARS/Covid19 is known for saving lives with these drugs (super high dose and cocktail drugs) but also warned their serious effect after the treatment. There was a huge debate of stop using them all together in favour of traditional chinese medicine (which is equally biased). Of course they save lives but you are at risk of huge comprises of the human body.

Why would health insurance be involved when running medical trials and why would it cost anything? The pitch doesn't make sense to me. I always assumed medical trials were free for the participants. No idea who their target demographic is which makes me suspicious already.
