> I’m surprised to hear the Berlin interpretation brought up here. I thought for the most part that people had moved on.

Its primary value for me is to differentiate between roguelikes and roguelites, where the latter term seems to have been given too much weight and controversy (roguelike communities trying to hold onto their name too strongly, as to become unseemly); referring to berlin interpretation seems like a less sensitive workaround. Roguelite is a dumb name anyways. The differentiation is still very useful though, because the roguelike genre is a very interesting one to be able to reference. (and so thoroughly distinct from roguelites, that the short distance in naming really isn't very appropriate -- similar to NoSQL vs SQL DBs)

> So there are plenty of situations in a classic roguelike which are simply game over because you saw a monster (likely out of depth) you had no chance of beating. It may be unlikely if the game throws lots of escape tools at you, but there’s always the chance you don’t get any of them on a given seed.

This is true; the general design trends towards combat encounters (roguelikes really just being the DnD combat & dungeoneering mechanics ripped out and pushed on computers, dropping most of the other elements), but that's more out of design choice than out of any necessity to keep the game "interesting".

That is, you can trivially conceive of interesting situations and mechanisms that are not directly combat-related, and you can also find examples of them implemented (like the orb-chasing of DCSS orb spiders, which force an awkward dance -- the challenge is from limiting positioning, and the damage is what gives it weight, but it is in no way unavoidable).

Rougelikes aren't interesting because there's always a chance you might end up in an unavoidable death -- they're interesting because there's always a chance you'll push yourself into an unavoidable death.

> It may be unlikely if the game throws lots of escape tools at you, but there’s always the chance you don’t get any of them on a given seed.

The core point of my argument is that you could force a minimal set of escape tools to the player, and the game would still be interesting. The games aren't actually dependent on having unavoidable threats, and being able to win each and every encounter, because the goals are different from StS. The threat can be there, without the unavoidable loss.

That the procedural generation may produce unwinnable games is not a requirement of procgen games -- it is a just an artifact of the implementation. But for StS and its kin, I think Jorbs is right -- potentially unwinnable games may be a requirement of that style of game.
For many people understanding Swedish Bureaucracy can be difficult. But you should be aware that in Sweden the political government cant fire Anders Tegnell. Its prevented by the Swedish constitution. Politicians cant involve themselves in Swedish government agencies. And due to labor laws he cant be prosecuted or dismissed from his service if he does not violate the labor laws. He cant be fired for "murdering" thousands of Swedish citizens with his advice ( that directly opposes the advice of CDC, WHO, or any other expert organization in 100+ countries).

Please Stop and Ask yourselves. Why Would This Person. Anders Tegnell ( working for a tiny swedish no so special agency ) Know better than the rest of the competence of the entire world.

"Folkhälsomyndigheten" have done all in their power to silence any objections from within the agency and the broader Swedish research community. Explicitly choosing an think-tank of outside experts not objecting the strategy.

We are talking about an government organisation where like-mindedness is the norm. They dont publish their sources for estimations, calculations or any of their "theories & strategies" either.

Here are 25 of the prominent swedish researchers objecting the "strategy" urging the rest of the world to please not Listen to Anders Tegnell. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/07/21/coronavirus...
I'm guessing you don't actually understand the complexity involved.

How does it differentiate between normal ranting and hate speech? How is hate speech classified in the US vs Saudi Arabia? How does it tell the difference between someone asking a child innocent questions and asking them sexually-related questions on camera? Does the algorithm get trained to flag videos about depression that might lead to suicide, or does it say they're supporting getting help FOR depression and leave the video?

What about subjects that aren't already in the corpus of "flag these naughty things"? You still have to get a human to look at those; most likely a data scientist who knows what the algorithm is doing and what needs to be done to correct the training. Machine learning as-is will not get us there, so in the meantime the only option is moderation by people described in the article. It can be outsourced elsewhere, but it's just shifting the responsibility to a different subset of people.
> Very few professors I know are happy about this whole situation.

Right. As a professor, I'm not embracing this at all. We all hate the situation and don't really know what the best thing to do is.
From the abstract:

>In this work, we prove that if a central conjecture in the area of network coding is true, then any constant degree boolean circuit for multiplication must have size Ω(nlgn), thus almost completely settling the complexity of multiplication circuits

So, given an unproven assumption and also given that we are constrained to doing multiplication on a boolean circuit, this may be "perfect" in a sense.

Seems like the title is mostly just clickbait.

Next step is for microsoft to start running gateways into slack, leaving users on slack as second class citizens, and then shutting down the gateways when enough users have been pulled into their walled gardens to give them critical mass.
I suppose this takes into account the fact that doctors are humans too, and humans are typically not good at statistics. The probability of cancer from a positive test rises from 0.8% to 14.1%, a significant increase, and seems to warrant a closer look, from a layman's point of view at least.

The framework and the tools are mechanisms for establishing trust and for eliciting feelings and sensations. But it's the rapport with the therapist that seems to matter the most.
Kind of humorous to imagine a researcher suing apple under the anti-gig California law. Would be a factual question of whether the researcher has sufficient control over their work under the agreement.

Apple would almost certainly win the suit, but I think there's reasonable odds the suit would survive an early motion to dismiss before factual discovery.

While it's true that REST has no concept of joins, when retrieving designing an API using REST, one often has to decide whether to return data related to an object as part of a query for the object, or to force the client to make secondary lookups.

Regarding GraphQL, one of its big selling points is that you can query not only for specific fields, but fields in nested data as well.

Lets take two possibly equivalent queries, modeled on the data discussed in the GraphQL tutorial[0]:

# REST Call
GET /hero?primary=true

# GraphQL Query
{
hero {
name
friends {
name
}
}
}

Ideally, these queries would result in the following SQL query when one wants to also get the primary hero's friends:

SELECT
heroes.name,
(
SELECT heroes_inner.name
FROM heroes AS heroes_inner, friendships
WHERE friendships.left = heroes.name AND
friendships.right = heros_inner.name
)
FROM heroes
WHERE name = ? AND primary = true;

(This query might not be exact, but it should get the meaning across.)

Of course, this presumes that the REST query selects friends names as part of the request, and that the client doesn't have to manually perform a join/secondary lookup to retrieve additional data. If it doesn't, then you might have to perform additional REST calls to get all the friends of the primary hero.

Also if you look at how the US economy works, all the money is in businesses, not consumers - compare the current stock market to the unemployment numbers for example. B2B was always going to out-compete B2C in the long run.
Maybe DIY degrees using MOOC make sense to replace "amphitheater style" universities but I really don't see how it could be any better than the education at most serious institutions.

Courses in sciences are often split between lectures, that might be "amphitheater style" for introductory courses (think 8.01 or most introduction to programming), lab work and recitations that are typically done in much smaller groups with a T.A to work on problem sets. MOOCs have no obvious alternative to the last two. In my experience it's relatively easy to work through a course by skipping lectures and reading from the textbook than to skip recitations and lab work.

That and group projects, that are often a requirement to graduate, makes MOOC-only a tough sell for me.
That's like saying to prevent STDs or pregnancy, don't have sex.

Right we were using Skype. Then one day I got an email about Microsoft moving us to Teams. I was able to delay the Teams roll out by 1 month but I could not prevent us being moved to Teams. Skype was part of the Office 365 level that we subscribe to and we were using it. MS replaced it with Teams.

Honestly, Teams is better than Skype. But it wasn't until covid forced everyone home that we really started using Teams, that first week was painful.

Why do you think that race and gender = diverse? They just have different races and gender, but might think the same way = not diverse.
> On the bright side, it will be very useful for jailbreak research and in a way, those bugs _do_ get disclosed to Apple for them to subsequently fix.

It’s useless for jailbreak research because Apple will force you to shut up about it at least until they patch it, so now you can’t jailbreak.
That doesn't change the fact that you're able to do security research on Apple products without their permission.

The expression is "film at 11." It dates from when TV stations used film cameras, and would find themselves in situations where they could report some news hours before the footage of it was ready to be shown.

I like that you ignored everything else here.

Do you work for the D.o.D or treasury? Do you work for the government in General? Prove to me they aren't.

How about you show us what is dangerous about a VTOL aircraft Lego set today, that hasn't been dangerous with the hundreds of other sets mirroring vehicles in use by the military. Remember, this is the OSPREY, not a Military OSPREY, use by one doesn't make it the only factor, otherwise it would be labeled as such.

What's the danger in the Firemen or Police sets the same mob have pressured lego to limit marketing or outright stop production on? How about the White House?

Show me in the history of Lego (outside of the past 4 months) where these have ever been issues before?

Show me the forum were multiple voices were heard rather than one loud voice of a minor group of people?

Show me how they aren't pressured to toe the line? Show me a company that has willfully stood up against the online mob and come out unscathed?

Or to keep it simple, show me how your childhood with sets that features themes of violence turned you into a murderous killer. Though you probably can't, as in a previous comment you stated just as much. You enjoyed the toys and didn't think about that factor.

Nothing about this isn't 100% about buckling to a mob. Nothing anyone in this thread has show otherwise, in fact the only argument is "We shouldn't support the military". If that's the stance people are going to take, it's a macro problem they're trying to solve with a micro solution in an un related capacity.

It's foolishness plain and simple. All it's going to do is continue to push people away from the real issues we should be supporting.

EDIT: Apparently Op edited their post after and didn't note it.

Show me how the OSPREY in any way shape or form represents any branch of service? This model is the osprey. Whom has it or doesn't becomes a straw man argument. I've been in and around OSPREY VTOL used for a variety of missions all multi agency. I don't have to prove anything. Lego made attempts to make sure it was removed from representing a service component. Your own argument would show that.

What's the excuse for the Sopwith Camel, or Red Barron's Fokker. Both historical military craft, both made by lego.

The policy being referenced here is 2010.. The Sopwith came out in 2012.
https://brickipedia.fandom.com/wiki/10226_Sopwith_Camel

You have not put forth one piece of information other than military bad. You have not show how this piece is any different than other sets, nor have you shown that "mob rule" didn't dictate this action.

This is the same kind of reasoning being used in other tech discussions.

You yourself said you played with legos, to include themes that have weaponry and violent functions, themes far greater than this one set of a vertical lift helicopter plane hybrid.

Until you can show how this without a doubt is a violent craft, you haven't proven any point. Regardless of who flys it.
I also made a comment before I saw yours about creating a machine learning based system to automate this process, I think it must be fairly easy given the amount of data already available.
There's a reason why whiteboard interviews are so popular: they seek to find candidates that have strong CS fundamentals. It's much easier to jump from languages to frameworks or ecosystem once you have a strong grasp of fundamentals than it is if you only learned how to make apps using one framework.

I've seen self taught students really struggle with introductory courses because they assumed they would breeze through fundamentals because they already knew how to build web-apps.
There are some things I will explicitly avoid in projects I'm working on. One of them is allowing picture or video uploads to users if the service is free.

"Perfect" in this case is a qualitative exaggeration bordering on hyperbole.

> At the end of February, a team of computer scientists at Aarhus University posted a paper arguing that if another unproven conjecture is also true, this is indeed the fastest way multiplication can be done.
They do not prove a lower bound.

> Harvey and van der Hoeven’s algorithm proves that multiplication can be done in n × log n steps. However, it doesn’t prove that there’s no faster way to do it.

Office 365 is a subscription service for both on-prem and cloud. It would be pointless to include the old Office seats since the conversation is about bundling Teams with Office, and that is only done with the Office 365 offering.

Given that kext development is still supported (although highly discouraged), won’t they have to support the same level of kernel debugging as usual?

> On macOS there are apps that are “grandfathered in” to not require the sandbox on the App Store

Can you name any of these apps? Apple’s own apps don’t have to be sandboxed (like Xcode or macOS installers), but I don’t know of anything else that gets an exception. Some apps like Office get special “holes” out of the sandbox (in the form of additional SBPL), but fundamentally they’re still sandboxed.
The title is confusing, I thought it predicted the use of wastewater.
Yes, a lower bound for multiplication using a boolean circuit, resting on an unproven conjecture.

Even if the conjecture is proven to be true, we may find a more efficient way to perform this operation than a boolean circuit.
I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic so forgive me if this is off-base, but there are REAL people who are dealing with trauma from moderating content so you don't need to "test it out" and validate.
Why would I use this instead of a pure ssh storage service like rsync.net? Because of per-repo keys?
This proves exactly the point made above of Apple not trusting the user.

However if someone wants to be an idiot, how far do you go to stop them? Apple's approach stops too many great possibilities for knowledgeable users. It should be in the same category as those "will it blend" types. Screw it up? No warranty.

For me there's several things I need it that are impossible because Apple won't allow them, so I have to use Android. But that's comes infected with Google spyware out of the box :(
As the report shows, all of the major stores charge 30%, not just Apple, even when the store has no exclusivity.

Apple App Store charges 30%, and it's the only way to publish a native app on iOS, but the Google Play Store charges 30%, too, and Android supports sideloading. The Windows Store and Steam both charge 30%, too, even though it's trivial to download games for Windows from any web site.

It would be reasonable to guess that Apple would exploit its market position to charge higher rates than the Google Play Store or Steam, but that hasn't happened, and it doesn't seem like it's ever going to happen.

In computational complexity, we have some proofs that a certain cost is the absolute bare minimum that an optimal solution must expend. We have the same for some mechanical systems too.

If you get the order down to the proven limit, especially for the first time, people sometimes use the word 'perfect', even if there are potentially other solutions with lower constant overhead, or lower practical overhead (see also Timsort, which uses insertion sort for leaf operations).

> Second, in that same paper Schönhage and Strassen conjectured that there should be an even faster algorithm than the one they found — a method that needs only n × log n single-digit operations — and that such an algorithm would be the fastest possible.

Is this saying that there is a proof in there paper that nlogn is the cheapest? If so it certainly beats around the bush.

When I had this issue 6 or 7 years ago that thread didn’t exist to explain that to me.
Yes. Let's say your data grid has 200 columns, but only 10 columns (DOM nodes) are rendered in the viewport. The other 190 columns are cached.

When scrolling horizontally, column nodes are appended/preprended on-the-fly. The old ones are only removed if the scrolling stops (until that time, column nodes that are outside the viewport are just made invisible by setting their opacity to 0).

If a user scrolls really fast without stopping in between, they might have 200 column nodes in the DOM. The DOM nodes are then only removed when scrolling stops.

Performance wise I haven't seen any problems with 200 columns or more.
If you haven’t seen The Cleaners, I highly recommend it.

I'm pretty sure if Apple hadn't created the modern smartphone someone else would have, and they'd probably have been less controlling and overall better than Apple too. The structural conditions for smartphones existed, Apple (and Google) just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
I doubt they would cost the same as regular iPhones.
This is great!

It would be nice to make `react-primitives` compatible with this as well: https://github.com/lelandrichardson/react-primitives.

Just to emphasize one point you made: It appears the first companion planet (160 AU) was originally detected using direct imaging last year (preprint [1] is dated Dec 2019, see sec. 4 for methods).

And I guess the second one was announced in OP, making it a multi-planet system.

The point of this comment is to note that these 2 planets were originally detected by direct imaging, not by other techniques.
