It is true that helping a child learn about resiliency is important. As Carol Dweck says, the brain is like a muscle and effort can eventually be rewarded with skill. So it is good to praise effort and persistence. And failure is part of life and needs to be dealt with.

That said, consider Alfie Kohn's writing, such as "No Contest: The Case Against Competition": https://www.alfiekohn.org/contest/

"No Contest, which has been stirring up controversy since its publication in 1986, stands as the definitive critique of competition. Drawing from hundreds of studies, Alfie Kohn eloquently argues that our struggle to defeat each other -- at work, at school, at play, and at home -- turns all of us into losers. ... No Contest makes a powerful case that "healthy competition" is a contradiction in terms. Because any win/lose arrangement is undesirable, we will have to restructure our institutions for the benefit of ourselves, our children, and our society. For this [1992] revised edition, Kohn adds a comprehensive account of how students can learn more effectively by working cooperatively in the classroom instead of struggling to be Number One. He also offers a pointed and personal afterword, assessing shifts in American thinking on competition and describing reactions to his provocative message."

From the book:

"If competitiveness is inherently compensatory, if it is an effort to prove oneself and stave off feelings of worthlessness, it follows that the healthier the individual (in the sense of having a more solid, unconditional sense of self-esteem), the less need there is to compete. The implication, we might say, is that the real alternative to being number one is not being number two but being psychologically free enough to dispense with rankings altogether. Interestingly, two sports psychologists have found a number of excellent athletes with "immense character strengths who don't make it in sports. They seem to be so well put together emotionally that there is no neurotic tie to sport." Since recreation almost always involves competition in our culture, those who are healthy enough not to need to compete may simply end up turning down those activities. ... Each culture provides its own mechanisms for dealing with self-doubt. ... Low self-esteem, then, is a necessary but not sufficient cause of competition. The ingredients include an aching need to prove oneself and the approved mechanism for doing so at other people's expense. ... I do not want to shy away from the incendiary implications of all of this. To suggest in effect that many of our heroes (entrepreneurs and athletes, movie stars and politicians) may be motivated by low self-esteem, to argue that our "state religion" is a sign of psychological ill-health -- this will not sit well with many people.(Page 103)"
I think you mean precision in this case. If you're going to be all high and mighty you should probably get your facts correct.
Game engines is a really tough market to compete in given Unity and Unreal are now basically free. When I built the game that I launched on Steam I made my own game engine with the idea that I would open source it. The engine is now open source but when people ask about it I recommend they just use Unity instead.
I am not going to comment on the propriety of conducting these activities. However, it appears they had access to electronic communications that were publicly available/accessible. This is akin to viewing someone's non-private Facebook profile and/or Twitter account. By the headline of this article, I had access to their communications too!

It has been well established that the 4th Amendment does not apply to when there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. Legalities aside, I would be concerned about how that information is used/what is done with it.
> "I don't think we actually believe that. We don't say that about something like heroin or masturbation."

A better analogy is between video game addiction and gambling addiction. Nobody denies that gambling addiction is a medical phenomenon despite being not being caused by drug dependency.

(As an unrelated aside, the trifecta is Asian-style gacha games, which combine video game addiction, gambling addiction, and borderline-pornography addiction into one neat little package. Small wonder they draw in whales despite usually not being very good in terms of game mechanics.)
It's a fantastic video, and the guy explaining it all has a natural talent for teaching and dissecting things. Thanks for sharing it!
We don't say that about something like heroin or masturbation.

This is a great point as well. Not everyone who plays video games makes a hobby out of it. A key part of a hobby is a sense of pride and accomplishment which the hobbyist enjoys by showing off their hobby to others. For example, a stamp collector showing off their collection to non-collectors and collectors alike.

Many gamers either have no interest in showing off their gaming accomplishments to non-gamers or otherwise have an aversion to doing so. Some, however, specifically do consider their gaming to be a hobby. My favourite example is the speedrunner LackAttack24 [1]. He specifically identifies speedrunning as his hobby and he makes extensive spreadsheets documenting his goals as well as his progress. He also happens to hold quite a number of (current and former) world records [2] in the Legend of Zelda as well as a few other games.

He's also very good at budgeting his time appropriately so as not to take away much time from his family and job as a developer. This hobby-life balance is another piece of the puzzle.

your future-self doesn't necessarily agree with that either

I think this is bang on. I would even go so far as to say that what you're doing is not a hobby unless you believe your future-self would be proud of the time you spent. Now some people do abandon their hobbies and later look back with regret, but I doubt they anticipate this at the time they're practicing the hobby.

The story yesterday said you support addition, multiplication, and enough for Turing completeness.

Surely, that means you also support equality tests. With that, it’s easy to build a lookup table, and the whole thing devolves to a glorified Caesar cipher. (With a permutation function instead of a rotation.)

What security guarantees does this library provide? What’s the attacker model? I see nothing about this on the front page of your github repo, or in the press releases.

Edit: For instance, can it tolerate chosen plaintext attacks? In a naive scheme:

If an attacker can get the cipher text for “1”, then they can compute 1+1=2, giving them the ciphertext for 2, and then, inductively, all the natural numbers.

If you have $10K in your checking account and a $440K investment portfolio, and you need to make a $90K down payment, it works like this:

(1) Sell $80K in assets, and use the proceeds, on top of your checking account balance to make a wire transfer.

(2) Now you have $360K in your investment account. You take a margin loan out in the amount of $80K.

(3) Use that $80K to re-establish your $440K investment portfolio.

You haven't used your margin loan to make a down payment, you've sold your assets and used the proceeds to make a down payment. You've then re-taken your investment position using a margin loan. The margin loan isn't collateralizing your down payment, it's making up for a reduction in the net liquidation value of your investment account as a result of your having used it to make a down payment, allowing you to retain your the prior level of exposure to equities in your trading account.

You don't have to go through the actual song and dance, and re-taking your equity positions would result in an IRS wash sale anyways, but that's why withdrawing cash on margin to make a down payment means the margin loan remains an investment expense -- it's there to allow you to retain your desired level of exposure to equities.

It depends on the task.

Some tasks intrinsically require a lot of random access to a large memory, meaning a memory larger than your fast CPU, and there is no way to buffer enough state inside the small memory of the CPU to make the random access non-random. (Note, random access here really means data-dependent addresses that don't follow patterns you can predict without doing the computation; they are not really random.)

For those tasks, address traffic from the CPU to the memory reveals information even if the data is encrypted, and this is the reason why it is said to require a linear scan of memory to perform random access while hiding the address of interest.

A more extreme version of this occurs with scanning large databases without revealing what you're looking for.

I'm not sure if the full linear scan is really essential, or if there's a way of representing data in memory (or data store) differently that relaxes the full scan requirement. E.g. by having the memory itself do some polynomial processing.

Although I made clear that these threats are not the reason of the censorship in question.

And "the right" actually executed plans to keep themselves permanently in power with all the violence that entails, but it's not fair to associate everyone that subscribes to "the right" with the military coup.

And this is an especially dishonest claim to be made in times where the most important and beloved right-wing figure in Brazilian politics openly defends this military regime [0], violence against the opposition [1], domestic violence (spanking children) [2], police violence, and is even associated with violent militia [3]. Had you said that during PT vs. PSDB times it would be damaging, unfruitful and a gross generalization, but at least it would have some basis on the real public discourse.

As platforms get more and more locked down (Chromebooks, Android, iOS) hosting the software in the cloud becomes a easier option. For example I'm working on and editor/IDE for programming, but it's next to impossible to compile programs on the platforms people use now a days. So in order to run a program that you made on your Apple phone, Android device or Chromebook, it has to run on a third party server...
Tesla obviously doesn't see a cost-effective way to incorporate lidar right now. Sometimes you have to make strategic decisions about where to focus your resources.
The "how" would depend on how you implement it. The servers could determine at the beginning which one gets to host the call and tell all participating clients to connect there, or there could be some client-server-server-client model akin to e.g. IRC, where you would save some server bandwidth in exchange for worse latency (more hops). I'm just spitballing here, mind you.

It's not the most intellectual forum, but let's be honest, this place isn't really either.

NES Background Parallax Explained – Audiovisual Effects
These insights may be trivial, but still important to experience first hand and early in life (let me highlight that I was never an excellent or successful musician, though):

* Having solid basic skills in a profession is crucial; in contrast, almost nobody really needs a virtuoso. Practically, nobody needs a rock star or diva.

* Always be reliable, even if others are not (don't pay back unreliability by being not reliable yourself). Be the one who is on time and does his homework. (In contrast, in school I learned that what technicality qualifies as homework often does not pay off.)

* Continuity is key to get a decent chance to succeed (again, in contrast school taught me that you can make things up as you go along, as long as you are somewhat talented).

To relate to the topic: the problem with many video games is that reliability and continuity come effortless. You simply need to go online and play. In contrast, as an amateur musician, I had to make sure I have the right gear, plan the transport without owning a car, make sure I can get into a rehearsal room regularly, find the right people to play with (the ones who have the connections that are needed to actually get a gig) et cetera.

I think there's probably a market for a personal cloud, which probably sounds dumber than personal computer did in the 80s. What I mean by that is a computer somewhere in the garage, like a furnace, with enough compute and storage to drive all the devices and appliances in a house. In this model, devices do not have CPUs or memory, only input/output and a network chip.

The way this would work is for the computer in the garage to have the ability to divide itself arbitrarily into VMs for each purpose, with an ecosystem of images designed for things like fridges and gaming consoles. It should be possible to add or upgrade compute to the device in a hot swapped fashion, and because it doesn't have to be in a thin tablet, it could be easily cooled.

I've had exposure therapy and seen it at work with others. This talking point really pisses me off. The "likes of exposure therapy" are not exposure therapy. Exposing yourself to something traumatic or distressing (and I mean "distressing" in a mental health sense) is a very tricky thing. Going overboard can have serious consequences. This is why it's done very deliberately, or even with supervision. Randomly encountering triggering content while going about your day is what it's supposed to prepare you for, but it's sure as hell not how it's done.

Please stop spreading mental health disinformation.

Though i agree with the main point, the blog post went off on a tangent about how some other languages are in danger because of English. IMO if the speakers of the language do not:

2. Consume materials in their own language

3. Actively and exclusively contribute to the world in English

it is already a statement about the necessity of their language: it isn't. Why should non speakers of a certain language invest money and/or time on a language its own people don't even invest in? If its own speakers kill the language (actively or passively) who are we to say they shouldn't?
