Whaat. I must've played DX at least a couple dozen times and I never found a turret in the hotel?
The game pushed the envelope in a lot of ways. At the time I was simply shocked by how immersive the game was, from the backstory present in everything to the freedom you had as a player to approach situations. Sure, today we have those things in a lot of games, but they are formulaic, dumbed down and became stale with overuse.

Today you can really only see innovation in indie games - which have limitations because of their resources. Deus Ex was a innovative triple A.

Above thoughts are ramblings, I know. Truth is I don't know what I would like to see in a modern equivalent. And that's how I want it too, I want to be surprised, overwhelmed, I want to see the best in the business come up with something I can't even imagine.

Instead I get remakes and ubisoft like formula "open world" full of busy work and chores.
I've worked with a fair few different people over the years, I've never seen a correlation between a CS degree and skill.

I'm biased in some ways as someone with a philosophy degree, but I've easily run rings around CS grads, and seen some who have absolutely no capacity to program. Most of the non-cs programmers have A degree, just not a CS degree. Often technical, I've known chemistry degree, engineering, architecture.

I think you're right in guessing that it's your culture pushing out the good non-CS grads rather than they're better. Be interesting to hear if you do the typical American white-boarding algo nonsense that YAGNI.

This generation might be different as CS became an obvious choice for the sort of people that may previously have chosen a wider range of subject. I think it's a shame as ultimately I see a CS degree as a waste of time, I've studied the concepts myself thinking myself deficient and never actually found any value to the lessons apart from intellectual curiosity.
I'm going to have to disagree with that. There are many "sins" that are not entirely (or entirely not) the individual's fault or choice. Addictions are hard to overcome. It's easy to fall into the trap of needing distractions (food, drugs, sex, whatever) because you happen to be stuck in a dead-end job or have family issues or whatever.

Making each and every individual responsible for the cost of their own "sins" completely removes society's responsibility for creating the circumstances in the first place.
Oof. I don't think anyone in the world is interested in re-litigating 100 year old labor politics with you.

> and showed great promise

As per the Wikipedia article there were numerous unresolved technical issues and really exciting failure modes. But a big 'no' was the massive nuclear fallout resulting from each (successful) launch, let alone the ones that failed.

Larry Niven's novel Footfall [0] (spoiler...) involves an interesting treatment of an Orion-style spaceship. The massive problems are tolerated in the face of an existential threat to Humanity unless a massive spacecraft can be launched into space. And very conveniently, it works perfectly first time, with no testing of the bomb engine mechanism, which seems a tad fanciful.

Is it even the mission, or has it ever been? Universities aren't so much about identifying and fostering talent as they are about molding the manner in which individuals approach the world, while giving them the tools necessary to navigate and succeed.

I have studied for a year next to my job.

My biggest challenges was to find material which explained to me certain concepts. Stuff like 'why can you transform this mathematical notion to this short form? How do you know that? Oh i learned that in the gym'
YouTube helped, other students helped but it was time consuming.

It would have helped me much more if i would have had a proper central source of high quality material. That would have allowed me to understand it easier and better and with less effort for others around me.

THIS then should free up those people to do more 1:1 supervisions (which might be common in Cambridge but is not everywhere the same). It should also allow those people to optimize how material is explained.

And this allow more people to get education which is key.

And i don't think this should just start at university level. Why not start with when you are baby for your parents?

Personally I got a lot more enjoyment from those games than I did Deus Ex. Particularly SS2 which still remains one of the most atmospheric games I've ever played and one of the few ones to make be jump and literally scared at times too.

Not taking anything away from Deus Ex, but at the time it didn't feel as genre defining as the others that inspired it.

This is not what thread safety means:

> Thread safety is a computer programming concept applicable to multi-threaded code. Thread-safe code only manipulates shared data structures in a manner that ensures that all threads behave properly and fulfill their design specifications without unintended interaction. There are various strategies for making thread-safe data structures.

(Wikipedia)

Data races is only part of the problem. Thread-safe also means that your design is bug-free and you don't have livelocks for example because of how you state machines interact there is a way for them to loop forever in an unexpected way (example, dining philosophers).

Similarly, data-race-freedom as provided by Rust is helpful for end users but not for library developers. Developers of concurrent data structures or threading primitives are on their own to sail in the complexities of the C++11 Memory Model (i.e. Acquire/Release) and the compiler cannot verify that you didn't introduce a synchronization bug in your new concurrent queue or event bus.

It sucks wealth away because American towns have an addiction to using bond money to pay for infrastructure maintenance - infrastructure that will need to be replaced again before the bond is paid off.

They also have a habit of greenlighting development where the builders pay to build the roads and sewers that the town then takes over long term maintenance for, without accounting for the wealth generation of those properties being unable to pay for them.

Part 3 of “the growth Ponzi scheme” illustrates this well:

https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2011/6/15/the-growth-pon...

Now, I also wouldn’t take Stong Towns as gospel but it’s not hard to look around and find crumbling American suburbs. Even the “nice” suburbs are drowning in debt despite good appearances.

And now, you’ve got millennials who are figuring out that no, they don’t need to own two cars (debt on wheels) and hoard stuff like their parents did. Millennials are urbanizing at a rapid rate and it is not slowing down since they aren’t universally moving to the suburbs once they have (a smaller quantity of) kids like their parents did.

The boomer generation grew up in an era of crime-laden cities that simply doesn’t exist anymore and may never again exist. Without the inner city crime of previous decades one has to ask what suburban life actually gets you in comparison.
I'm pretty sure the exact problems the article describes can be solved with proper implementation of actor model, i.e. Erlang-style implementation, where actors can be killed, dying actors can cause messages to be send and messages can be received in specified order. Basically lack of proper richer actor primitives is what pushed them into the mess they are in.

I'm TRYING to figure out where the support for the statement "a fusion center in Missouri listed Ron Paul supporters as potential domestic terrorists." comes from!

And I still can't find it. This report isn't about domestic terrorism, it's about the militia movement (which correlates, but it's not the same thing). And it's absolutely not about Ron Paul, I can't even find where it mentions that fact in passing.

You're spinning like crazy here, about a 12 year old report saying (apparently) unflattering things about a 16 year old presidential campaign. No one is being called a domestic terrorist anywhere in these links.
I don't feel as sure about this; there's very little evidence that Amazon is putting a "50% margin", or any significant percent, on x86 servers. Sure, they're more expensive than, just for comparisons' sake, Linode or DigitalOcean, but EC2 instances are also roughly the same cost per-core and per-gb as Azure compute instances, which is a far more accurate comparison.

Many people complain about AWS' networking costs, but I also suspect these are generally at-cost. A typical AWS region has terabits upon terabits of nano-second scale latency fiber ran between its AZs and out to the wider internet. Networking is an exponential problem; AWS doesn't overcharge for egress, they just simply haven't invested in building a solution that sacrifices quality for cost.

Amazon really does not have a history of throwing huge margins on raw compute resources. What Amazon does is build valuable software and services around those raw resources, then put huge margins on those products. EC2 and S3 are likely very close to 0% margin; but DynamoDB, EFS, Lambda, etc are much higher margin. I've found AWS Transfer for SFTP [1] to be the most egregious and actually exploitative example of this; it effectively puts an SFTP gateway in front of an S3 bucket, and they'll charge you $216/month + egress AND ingress at ~150% the standard egress rate for that benefit (SFTP layers additional egress charges on-top-of the standard AWS transfer rates).

Maybe not but it's pretty significant. From 350 to 900 takes the payload mass fraction to LEO from 6% to 34%, so SSTO would be practical (though I wouldn't expect to see this for launch). Or, with a 10% mass fraction, the delta-v goes from 7.9 km/s to 20 km/s.

Lab mice have extremely long telomeres compared to wild mice and humans. This would theoretically make them better able to heal but more prone to cancer. This also makes them a poor model for testing the toxicity of drugs because they would be better able to deal with the damage caused by drug toxicity.

Drugs that have been developed using these mice could have a higher toxicity than the lab mice data suggests. Weinstein uses the Vioxx scandal as a possible example of such a drug.

Because the fiat fees are too high + kyc as someone said below.

And even crypto is super high too. For example:
https://ethgasstation.info/

average ETH transfer: $0.229/transfer

With ETH your fees can be equal to the micropayment itself. There may be other blockchains that are cheaper, but then of course even fewer people use those cryptos, so that 'advantage' that people advocate really isn't an advantage... If you're talking a buck then you could build something that does this with ETH for example, then it would be .229$/1.229$ = 18.63% fee as compared to total cost if you want $1 total sent to platform/creator (seems more reasonable). Or you could just take the fee out of the buck itself, that would be 22.9%.
Yes (though I personally have only ever used it as a notification mechanism: I just click through to the page, and don't read the content in the reader. In fact the RSS reader I built for myself doesn't support any other mode). I follow over 100 different feeds through this, mostly on different sites (it's mostly webcomics, some news, artists, and youtube channels). It would be basically impossible to do this with any other tech: at best my feeds would be fragmented across multiple services. Some would not be possible to integrate at all. Services like this allow some of the sites I want to follow to fit into the system.

How are you differentiating Wahabbism from far right extremism? Most Muslims seem to consider Wahabbism both extreme and far right. Perhaps you mean racially versus ideologically or foreign compared to domestic or political versus religiously motivated?

I looked at the articles you linked to. The New York Times mentions white extremist suggesting racially motivated but also mentions international terrorism instead of domestic terrorism. Your first source attempts to define right-wing extremism as a political motivation. That said your point isn’t very clear.

If you are limiting your point to domestic US terrorism racially motivated terrorism greatly exceeds religiously motivated terrorism but the numbers are tiny either way. If you are talking internationally religiously motivated terrorism by far takes the lead when you consider that ISIS is a growing threat in Afghanistan and Pakistan and when you consider the various terrorist organizations in sub-Saharan Africa like Boko Haram.

Can you point to a time Amazon did something like that? Not saying they won't, just any company can do it, it's more likely when they've done it in the past.
One reason it can't happen today is because it never ends well. Ion Storm was a huge disaster; it produced Deus Ex, but it also produced Daikatana, one of the truly legendary bad games. The studio mismanaged itself so badly that by 2001 the whole thing had collapsed except for Warren Spector's team in Austin, who soldiered on for a few more years before giving up.

Because Apple limited the CPU to only be able to use x amount of Watts, because otherwise the cooling/the power consumption would be outside of their "product design goals".

1. "helping" users solve problems

2. "schooling" users on what they're doing wrong

* I say "recently", but I just checked and it appears I joined SO ~11 years ago and haven't actively used it in ~7 years, so "recently" is probably not the right word...

I think Norway are currently testing a sugar tax.

That said, there are research that shows that sugar in drinks does not trigger the same biological saturation triggers as sugar in food. The example I have heard is that eating an apple is completely different from drinking the juice of a pressed apple. The act of chewing and the fibers acts as a ques for the brain in order to know when the body has enough. The health risk of eating too many apples is low, but drinking too much apple juice is easy.
