To be honest, when I first played This War of Mine, I wanted to throw the controller. The thing is, as your characters' health decreases, becaue they get wounded or the are hungry or sick, etc, they start dragging their feet- literally. They take ages just to go from one room to the next. So play suddendly morphs into long stretches of just pushing a stick (or a button, I guess) to advance at a snail's pace.

I fully appreciate that this is meant to get you into the spirit of the game, but in the end it just ends up breaking immersion completely and makes you wonder what the hell you're doing in your life, pushing virtual people around a virtual house for hours on end.

I gave up on playing the game after a few tries, when I realised this was going on. I picked it up again a few months later and I enjoyed it much more, precisely because for some reason I didn't experience the same slowdown. I don't know if the game changed, possibly I was more aware of the things that could make my characters slow and managed to avoid them- but I'm not 100% sure.

I've had similar experiences with other games. Sunless Sea, forced me to push a virtual boat around a virtual sea in what felt like real time, because it was the game creator's vision that travel should be slow and you should go over the same empty tracts of sea again and again and again and again, always at a teribly slow pace, even with the most expensive engine upgrades. I didn't pick that one up again, after I found out that this was actually a design feature (I think I read an interview with the creator, or some thread in the game's forums on steam?) (edit: I think this was the thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/304650/discussions/0/14832329...).

Merchant of the Skies, that I've been playing a lot recently can also be tedious though, honestly, not that much. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, well I guess that was a walking simulator and it's my fault for playing it for as much as I play it. The list goes on for a bit.

Just, don't take away from my time to live and give me nothing back in return, mkay?

Hot take, the original stuff using simple etcd had no reason to be decentralized in the first place other than more overengineering.

Oh didn’t know there was a documentary, will check it out. I saw them do a musical in Kampot which was very interesting. RIP Srey Thy, too early.
Which makes up about 5% of the claims and when you read it you’re like “ok, they wanted the KR to keep their UN seat”.
Interesting. If the study is indeed correct, and half the previous run-up to ~$20k was due to Tether, then the market has since correct as the price is a little below half that value. Of course there have been a lot of ups/downs since then, with bitcoin hitting as low as $5k recently.
> Milosevic was tried not for genocide against his own group of people, but an opposing ethnic/religious group in a civil war.

Wrong. Milosevic was trialed for his role on the Bosnian genocide, which included the assassinations of Bosnian serbs.

Even if you believe that although Milosevic was president of Yugoslavia then no breakaway Yugoslav republic can be counted as his people, you can't turn a blind eye to Bosnian serbs.
As long as this is contained to the metrics-metagame branch of the git repo, I am fine with this.

My law school classes took attendance. Rigorously. Because time management is a critical skill for attorneys, judges don't tolerate any amount of unannounced absenteeism, and missing filing deadlines can be and often is extremely costly, not just for you but for your client. (Also, taking attendance weeds out the liars. The ABA has strict attendance requirements and you're not supposed to get a degree if you miss them.)

If was a very tough transition because, of course, both in undergraduate and in professional life lackadaisical attitudes were tolerated, especially so long as you otherwise performed the substantive work.

We all love to rationalize away those things we dislike doing. But there was no wiggle room to rationalize it away in law school. I'm sure the military is similar.

"In his diary in March 1969, Nixon's chief of staff, H. R. Haldeman, noted that the final decision to carpet bomb Cambodia 'was made at a meeting in the Oval Office Sunday afternoon, after the church service'.

In his diary on 17 March 1969, Haldeman wrote:

Historic day. K[issinger]'s "Operation Breakfast" finally came off at 2:00 pm our time. K really excited, as is P[resident].

And the next day:

K's "Operation Breakfast" a great success. He came beaming in with the report, very productive. A lot more secondaries than had been expected. Confirmed early intelligence. Probably no reaction for a few days, if ever. "
Waymo is not currently offering any rides. Their service has been suspended for riders since March.
I code in both almost every day.

While I absolutely hate the look of python (and any language where spacing is significant), I feel like it is easier to get real work done in it.

While I LOVE the look of languages with blocks based on curly braces I find that any significant javascript implementation tends to result in me having to spend a lot of time tending to promises.

So given a 3rd choice I would pick my "GO"-to language one not based on spacing being significant and one where I had more control over when and how I leveraged concurrency.

So in the end, I reluctantly prefer python to javascript.
It's all correct: 90% takes 5 days and the rest 10% will take 3 months.

It's so weird how yikyak blew up then rapidly failed. I used it pretty heavily in undergrad and popularity didn't seem to wane during that school year when it got big. It just died over the summer since you were geolocked to your hometown, then it inexplicably never picked up again the next school year, just dead on arrival. Had they let people still use their collegiate yikak while off campus for the summer, yik yak might have been a juggernaut by today. I still don't think the niche has been captured: an anonymous, hyperlocal twitter/reddit hodgepodge, fueled solely by original and genuine campus memes and therefore immune to corporate ad peddling like global networks. Maybe that's why it failed.
Right, we want them to come here and like it so much they settle down and become professors or researchers or entrepreneurs. It's kind of the secret to our success!
Microsoft details how Xbox Series X will load 4.8GB/s from memory
I don't know. Many people who "hate" the guy tend to freely acknowledge his very real accomplishments.
There is no formal distinction between an OT and CRDT algorithm.

It's true that the most popular OT systems have a central server -- but there exist OT algorithms without a central server.

It's also true that CRDT algorithms tend to require too much memory usage to be practical -- but there exist CRDT algorithms with bounded memory.

There are even algorithms that can be equally called OT and CRDT.
I think there's a difference worth noting between subtle monitoring & coersion vs. a full out act of war. By the time China is trying to denial of service the UK's 5G infrastructure we've got other things to worry about.
That's a very good argument against the modern framework-conatiners-k8s stack. We used to be able to keep an organization wide track of things such as tcp services, buffer sizes, timeouts etc. but now it's all a black box deployed by a guy who cut and paste some yaml from a Medium article, at best.

It's probably acceptable to not learn the details of what you're doing, as hardware is cheap and all that, but it also constitutes a glass ceiling for how much the organization learns. That's a bigger problem in the long run.
So far, only Microsoft has been a nuisance to my personal SMTP server (there's an open issue about Microsoft's dubious blacklists on GitHub, with several participants: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/microsoft-365-docs/issues/5...).

Just a little part of why I hate and mistrust that company.
box in home router. Though it could have special equipment to further process the satellite signal, that's likely to be primarily on the 'dish' itself.
So your biggest complain about Kissinger is that he didn't opposed the initiative of a foreign country to invade and assassinate civilians of a smaller neighboring country?
FWIW, it is helpful to understand that this isn't ICE making policy randomly but in fact just enforcing the regulations surrounding student visas. The existing regulations were relaxed in March but the underlying regulatory idea is that you don't need a visa for online education and online education is not sufficient for a visa to be issued.

I tend to think that it was premature to rescind the temporary waiving of the oversight regulations, but that isn't the same thing as saying the underlying regulations don't have a rationale basis.
This all very true but I just wanted to add one more thing I think is a strength of parliaments.

In a parliament majority, the buck stops with the Prime Minister and win or lose his performance is on the line in the next election. There's no (effective) hand-waving about opposition or other excuses to deflect accountability. Elections are a black/white referendum of the incumbent's performance.

In the US it's a lot easier to muddy the waters and a lot harder for people to arrive at a clear conclusion and often nobody is happy.

I was tangentially involved as a consultant when a major bank bought a few billion USD in GCP services.

Others have mentioned whole 50 person deal teams from both sides, multi year processes, all of Google’s most senior execs pressing the flesh etc.

But to your question this type of deal usually goes beyond even the C Suite, to a companies board and shareholders. The bank I was involved with held an ‘Extraordinary General Meeting’ for reps of major shareholders, to present its case and get sign-off. This part of the process was actually the longest, it took ~6 months.

That was because the shareholders of the bank had interests to be accommodated, for instance one of them was also a major holder of Amazon stock so they had a vested interest in having the bank choose AWS. They needed to be worked around or convinced choosing GCP would create more value for them than portfolio synergies.
Good move. Google will think twice if it is a good move to remove clients from their platform. I think TikTok has to show they cannot go around banning apps left and right without financial repercussions.
Negative emotions is already a significant chunk of social media in general and news media as well. So...very slippery slope definition for culpability you've got there.
They've deorbited 5 of the 540 launched so far, and a few more of the first launch seem to be derelict.
Luxury cars have a lot of sound dampening, so engine noise is hardly an issue. A Royce Royce Phantom has a v12 but is more quiet than a Tesla.
> I have fiber to the home that is super reliable... I am still anticipating this and will be signing up to supplement my fiber

We have fibre-to-the-home, but we'd like a bigger house and a bigger backyard. There are some really nice big houses with nice big backyards about 10-20 minutes north of us, but fibre-to-home is not available in that area. If Starlink works well, it would increase the odds we could move. So, I'd be inclined to sign up for Starlink alongside our fibre-to-the-home, just to compare the two.
To be pedantic, although most intangible assets can be capitalised, IFRS does not allow capitalisation of internally generated brands. If you buy a company then you can capitalise any brands you obtain on acquisition.

Development expenditure on patents can be capitalised only in certain circumstances.
>If a manager trusts their reports, they can manage those reports effectively, because they are getting accurate data about what their people are doing

This statement is nonsense. How does simply trusting your reports guarantee anything, let alone that you're getting accurate data about what your people are doing? How would you be the wiser if you didn't have a fundamental understanding of the work being done?

>That trust (also known as being professional) short circuits the need for the manager to understand the work being done.

Again, nonsense.

Your statement is akin to saying that being a successful basketball coach doesn't require knowledge of basketball, but rather just simply having to trust in your basketball players. Yet show me how many successful basketball coaches are there that never played the game, or was around the game to develop a fundamental understanding of the game.

Or hell, put it this way: if trust short circuits any need for management to have any understanding, then anyone could be a successful manager. I'm sure my dog trusts me and most folk, I guess by your reasoning, he could be the manager of any department in any company!

Yeah, nonsense. You need some fundamental understanding of what you're managing otherwise you're a bad manager, or simply a figure head...
aha! covering npm packages makes sense. I briefly forgot that I hadn't publish that one on npm. I wonder if vscode extensions are published on npm... umm...

I'm glad you have all those future features planned.

As for testing, I think that badges are often times not enough. I'd like to see if tests exist at all in the first place, and the quality or helpfulness of those tests. But maybe I'm in the minority for that, so ask other users for confirmation.

:D
Is the guy who decides visa policy not able to understand the plan coming from the guy who decides defense policy? We need the smart people here, not there.
None of these papers ever give a solution such as removing right to work. It seems like they're just asking to be able to say things free from criticism. Also cancel culture has been used for years to suppress people on the left. Now that we've realized that the other side has the really objectionable views they're being "canceled".
That's fine. But "nobody should waste time on contemplating such a question" doesn't make much sense.
Ryzen supports an Eco mode which will configure the power management functionality to assume a lower TDP. A Ryzen 3600 running in Eco mode will be functionally equivalent to a Ryzen 3600E.
I don't hold random comments on the internet to the highest standard because I am not a monster. However they are not equivalent and the em dash is a sign of extra polish.
For a while and probably until it died, they actually did allow you to use your college yikyak when you were away. I think you could use two locations, your current location and your "home" location. It died overnight because they forced everyone to have usernames one day. Probably because they wanted to monetize.
So they're probably going to use the same scammy techniques as other ISPs where they require you to rent a $100 standard router for $200 per year.
I sometimes look at small mass-produced plastic items and marvel at how hard it would be to make one from scratch. If you showed me, say, a fluted plastic bottle of wite-out with a screw-on cap, I would have to assume you had a very expensive operation up and running that was already churning these out.

In software we can put a few shapes on a screen in just the right context and people will believe there's an operation as sophisticated as the wite-out bottle factory behind it.
It was to further my understanding. But responses like "well, actually transmitting means transmitting AND receiving" don't really do that.
Yes, that's why it's called a Balance Sheet because it shows that net assets = equity, meaning it 'balances'.
There was a lot of social/cultural issues with YikYak. My college explicitly forbid using it, and a lot of other small colleges had similar policies, largely because of abusive posts happening on the platform.
"Normal" is already determined by their AB testing which is already massive scale human experimentation.
I didn't know that (and BTW Ruby-Toolbox is a great source of inspiration)

I think the challenge with that is that there's no standardization of categories. Both GitHub and npm have the concept of "topics/keywords" that developers can choose. Problem is that every maintainer chooses slightly different keywords, so it becomes ineffective as a tool for discovery.

We still haven't fully figured out what the optimal solution might be like.
Qwibble: Microseconds gets you to the year 2540 with double precision, because the implied 1-bit means you effectively have 54-bit mantissa.

I really really like this - especially with all the references you've listed. I think more programmers should have a go at working with various file formats. Well done on this article.
And which automaker has the largest market cap in the world currently? Not Jeep.
For me, it's more about what kind of opportunities people miss out on when they're in an underserved area. For example, a lot of learning is being done remotely right now. How does a student on a satellite Internet connection participate in a streamed classroom? They can't so they just... miss out on schooling.

Would you rather a country that many people around the world wants to migrate to in order to pursue their dreams spying on you (USA), or a country where people are put in concentration camps (China and the Uyghurs) spying on you?

I don't know about you, but I prefer the former as lesser of two evils.

I see your argument a lot and its quite stupid.

That’s my point: what happens to be the case in actual aviation is in some sense the opposite of the words‘ connotations. So, they’re very misleading terms. Which becomes problematic when marketing a powerful, but limited technology to the mass market.

It's more about overcoming lobbying than momentum.

I'd disagree. As someone who has been in teaching nearly two decades there is a large contingent of capable teachers who are doing it right. Some do it within the system their school or district has set up and some in spite of it.

Most universities don't require attendance, but quite a number of professors do take attendance and count it as part of the grade.

There were plenty courses where at the beginning of each lecture, we were asked to complete a trivial quiz (one question quiz) with iClickr. I believe that it was just a convenient way of taking attendance.
I find it very hard to believe they don't promote content intended to elicit an emotional response to drive engagement in China the same way they do everywhere else.
In the absence of the disruption to existing educational plans caused by the COVID-19 health emergency, why would foreign students (or any students) want to pay the regular tuition for 100% online instruction, and why would that require them to be physically in the US (i.e. to have a visa)? And why would a educational institution want to have the responsibility for keeping track of the physical location of students taking a 100% online instruction?
Thanks. Signed up for Stoney Creek cuz of youu!!

When TED Lost Control of Its Crowd (2013)
Actually, the algorithms have a lot of overlap. The original CRDT (called WOOT, for "WithOut Operational Transform") was derived from an OT algorithm.

Historically, what happened was that the OT research community couldn't solve consistency without adding tombstones into their data structures that recorded deletions (and generally kept these deletion marks around forever). They called these "tombstones." People didn't like that you had to keep them around forever, but they seemed to solve the problem.

Over time, some researchers decided to just keep more things around forever, and promoted the idea that you don't need to do as much transforming of operations if you just preserved all operations in a spatial data structure, not just the tombstones, but everything. They came up with a new name this style: CRDT.

But in fact, the technical definition of a CRDT actually fits OT algorithms quite well. A CRDT just means that you can accept any operation at any time. That's what a good OT system also needs to do. So there isn't a technical distinction between an OT or a CRDT. They each define a set of features, and your synchronizer can possess OT features, and it can possess CRDT features.
They could also be planning on selling it separately as a consumer fan product like the roofing torch flamethrowers.
> You don't see any complaints on distributions that only support one init which is either runit, s6 or openrc. But when it's systemd somehow people get sad?

Runit will just run 3 scripts then supervise your service directory. _That's it_ and no other choices are made for you. You can compose runit with many other different types of systems according to your own tastes.

Systemd, ostensibly also just an init system, ties you to so many other non-init choices that I can understand the feeling of unease people have towards it.
I have an air filter with the same similarly bright blue LEDs. But, it has a night mode which you specifically have to enable each time where those are turned off. So the people who designed this thought of this problem and still wanted to have the overly-bright LEDs with no function. I don't quite understand.

People buying Epyc are concerned about perf/watt and density, which are both areas where Threadripper Pro isn't competitive with Epyc.
