Guess what building a pc is not worth it. It's not worth it in frustration or anything else. It's better to buy a commercial business grade desktop with a support contract. They always have some kind of weird power issue or something. However, I might just be butthurt about my desktop that randomly reboots and was built by a friend, and I can't figure out what is wrong with it.
Hm. Don't most chat programs offer a status?

Like "Away", "DND", "Available", etc.?
This sort of situation is complex, and painful. Please take care of yourself. If the culture is toxic, this job may not be the right fit.

If you want to stick it out in the hopes that a breakthrough is coming, perhaps you want to set goals or milestones. A time-based milestone could look like "I will give this three more months." A criteria-based one might be "I will continue if I receive some affirmation of my abilities this week." Of course, some combination of time and criteria is in order.

Advice falls short in such scenarios. I really hope you find meaning and growth at work, one way or another.

It's obviously repulsive. It starts with how quoting evidence for some stereotypes is career suicide, then continues arguing for just such a stereotype "just to give an example".

However note how the comment I replied to was the first response, and at the time I replied the only response. I like to imagine that hacker culture is still about judging ideas on their merit. Asking someone to delete their statement instead of refuting anything they say is wrong by that standard.

I think that:

- Client side analytics are not helpful (and may make invalid assumptions).

- Client side analytics waste energy, bandwidth, RAM, etc.

- You should avoid other wastes too, such as including too many pictures, CSS, scripts, animations, etc.

- Client side analytics wrongly violate privacy.

- In the case of client-side JavaScript errors, yes in that case it may be helpful (sometimes), but it should ideally ask first. Errors should also be displayed in the console window, so that the user can diagnose the errors by themself.

- A web page should be designed to work without JavaScripts and without CSS as much as possible, although sometimes they are helpful (although a better "user oriented" design should be needed rather than the "author oriented" design; I have some ideas about how to do this).

- Don't always use web pages! There is such thing also as Telnet, SSH, Gopher, NNTP, plain text files (over whatever protocol), etc. (I use many plain text files myself, actually.)

- Let the user to write a comment (by email, perhaps). Otherwise, you will just have to guess, and might not be able to. Even if you use client side analytics, it cannot guess something that isn't there.

So, I use server side analytics instead, is much better.

(In the case of traffic jams: You can see how many cars they are; you do not need to add a device on each car to count them, nor to read license numbers, etc. A simple light sensors to see if the light is blocked by cars, would be good to have.)

(In the case of stores, well they already need to count how many products have been purchased, as they very well should. They need not track who purchased each item, just to keep track of how many of each item has been sold. That will allow them to restock and to bring in enough for everyone, and whatever else they need to do. They can keep track of returns too.)
> Though with videogames, it's still a meaningful statistic to include "casuals" considering it used to be taboo to play videogames at all as an adult

There's a difference between a casual Candy Crush player and a casual Overwatch player though.

I wouldn't class the Candy Crush player as even a casual gamer.
My understanding is that this was a SkyCop camera, which is what has been used in Memphis. Those cameras are requested by the neighborhood, and the neighborhood raises the money for the camera. Then, the MPD purchases the camera, installs it, then hooks it up to the RTCC feed.

If this installation went according to that same format, this activist may know full well why the camera is there - assuming he attends neighborhood meetings.

If this installation didn't go according to tbat format, I am completely against people being specifically surveiled without a warrant. Volunyary video of the place where people live is one thing, the other is completely against the foundational principles of this country and the natural order that should be followed by our government.
I think you're right.

It's a little confusing to me, but this article makes it sound like the camera was set up on a pole in front of a relative's house, but pointing at a different "family property" where Antonio was living.

There's some older articles talking about how he lives at his grandmother's house, and his uncle lives across the street. Both houses were raided by cops in 2018 due to alleged cocaine dealing and they made 2 arrests (One cousin had a small amount of weed, and another cousin had an outstanding warrant for assault)

When that happened he talked about how he felt like his family was being targeted due to his activism. Perhaps, but IMO the generic "the war on drugs" is a more likely cause

Because you can take MS to court for mishandling US citizens data, in the US, in a way that you can't take ByteDance, for the same reason, in China.

Adding onto this, imagine how you would feel if someone said

"There are 3 billion Spanish speakers worldwide"

But then you learned that only 500 million were really fluent, and the rest ranged from broken Spanish that was enough to get by in a Spanish speaking country to people who were forced to take a Spanish class in highschool and never used it again.

I think this concept of "fluency" in games is probably a more useful metric. The question is, if I dump you in front of a game that you've never played before, but it conforms to the language of video game design, how quickly can you beat it? I would imagine that someone who only played Candy Crush would not understand how to move their camera around in a 3D environment, for example.[1]

You could extend the metaphor further, for example Spanish is spoken in many different ways around the globe, and therefore some people who speak one dialect of Spanish can't understand another dialect of Spanish. The same could be true for games, and we would need to classify and understand these dialects.

[1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax7f3JZJHSw Interesting video talking about what games are like for a non-gamer, shows an example of not understanding how to move the camera and the player at the same time.
The only bridge for sale here is confusing this letter written by TaoTiao PR with Bytedance or TikTok. Again, TaoTiao is beholden to Chinese National Intelligence law, not ByteDance or TikTok.

> There’s VR, but I believe there will be a new category introduced within the next five years that will change the gaming landscape.

I have been dreaming of better interfaces (controllers) for games for decades. The Wii, despite it's limited power, was a huge leap forward in how we played games. Unfortunately Nintendo is the only gaming company taking risks while Microsoft and Sony keep doubling down on graphics with the same controllers from 30 years ago. If someone made a non-VR console with VR-style controllers it would be a huge leap. Instead we keep getting the same old immersion-killing 4-button-mashing consoles and games with upgraded graphics cards.
Not intending to change the subject - for what it’s worth I generally agree with you - but aren’t legacy admissions just a step above the lie that is meritocracy? Well resourced families produce children who go to good schools, have all sorts of help along the way, and signal correctly to end up in more prestigious institutions - and the rest is basically predetermined. Legacy admissions and what Lori Loughlin did are the same thing without the veil.
With respect to your 200 years figure, $190M also nets $3.8M/yr investing very conservatively. Even $50M once would usually be valued higher than $1M/yr forever, in a time-value-of-money sense.

Yes...but I've never worked at a place where they were accurate.
Thanks for this, it was interesting and helpful. My comment was mostly appreciating the sardonic and dry humor in the poster (and the concept of the study itself).

It was my first time hearing about this, and it struck me as the type of funny anecdote that could be slipped into a talk/lecture (I find it takes quite a bit of finesse to keep non-technical people engaged when talking about statistics and data science, so humor and relatable examples always help). So, it’s good to know the broader context.

That sounds like it means dogfighting doesn't matter at all. You just need an autonomous missile platform with good enough ECM to avoid getting splattered by the enemy missile platform.
So a question for the knowledgeable on this subject. Over the last few years, we continually keep seeing discoveries large number of intra and extra solar system astronomical bodies that do not radiate at high luminosities or frequencies. Presumably all these add to the mass of galaxies.

How much of the dark matter hypothesis is dependent on observations of rotation of high luminosity bodies? If we assume there are large numbers of these non luminous bodies distributed between stars, does the necessity for postulating exotic dark matter go away?

> Guess what building a pc is not worth it. It's not worth it in frustration or anything else.

That depends on how much you value the learning-opportunity provided by building your own machine. I certainly do!

> It's better to buy a commercial business grade desktop with a support contract.

If you're a self-employed SWE who needs a reliable dependable backup machine that you can use the support-contract to get fixed within 24 hours, then yes, I strongly agree.

...but I still think building ones' own primary machine is worth it.

> They always have some kind of weird power issue or something

I've built 8 machines for myself (and a couple more for friends and family) since I started in 2004 and I've never had an issue with power-supplies because I thoroughly research my options. PSUs are a safety-critical component of your PC: if it misbehaves it could kill you (e.g. if the computer-case goes live or the grounding pin fails - fun!) - or at least destroy everything of value inside it - I guess because I refuse to cheap-out on PSUs I've never had a problem.

Actually - there was one incident: back in 2005 I was building my second machine (a box to run Windows Server 2003 on so I could do ASP.NET web-development without needing to install IIS and SQL Server on my XP machine) and the PSU I ordered online was delayed, so I went to my parents' town's small-biz local PC shop and asked if they had any PSUs and all they had was a second-hand jobbie they gave me in a plastic carrier-bag for £20 - that PSU failed after a few days - just in-time for my online-order PSU to arrive.
I would bet the inverse. If the majority of tactics is spearheaded by one person from 1964 - that probably means there's a lot of innovation.

I found reading Boyd's biography, so much effort was made before decision makers would use his tactics, even when they were clearly superior.

Even board game like Go and Chess have experienced new and novel tactics from AI despite being much older, with lower barriers to entry. Inversely, dogfighting is new and the barriers to entry are so high its unlikely its close to optimal.
Worse, we need to keep in mind that stereotypes can be totally wrong if they aren't inferring the correct causality. If we have three observables P, Q, R, and physical causations P -> Q and P -> R, then stereotype-style pattern inference will incorrectly conclude either Q -> R or R -> Q.

More generally, stereotype-oriented reasoning has no place for the argument from the outside that, when we mechanically disprove a stereotype's existence, we must refute the entire chain of correlations which led to the stereotype's establishment.
>Governments Are Faking It, and Copying Each Other

So finally government runs more like private business, AIER should be happy

On a more serious note, the reason why governments have enacted measures in synchronicity and often had to correct after adopting measures that turned out not to be so great is quite obviously because this situation is fairly unprecedented and everybody is improvising and trying to learn as we go, and we're all acting on incomplete information.

There is hardly as much evidence for anything as we'd like, so it might very well turn out that the criticised measures in the article are actually good or vice versa.

So instead of somehow contextualising this as some sort of "bamboozling voters" it honestly is just what you would expect. I'm not sure if the author is expecting that every country does something different in the face of extreme risk.

The president does not have broad authority under IEEPA.

Congress specifically limited presidential authority when passing the act, and TikTok is protected under IEEPA 50 U.S. Code § 1702(b):

> The authority granted to the President by this section does not include the authority to regulate or prohibit, directly or indirectly - (1) any postal, telegraphic, telephonic, or other personal communication, which does not involve a transfer of anything of value; ... (3) the importation from any country, or the exportation to any country, whether commercial or otherwise, regardless of format or medium of transmission, of any information or informational materials, including but not limited to, publications, films, posters, phonograph records, photographs, microfilms, microfiche, tapes, compact disks, CD ROMs, artworks, and news wire feeds.

There has always seemed to be an antagonistic relationship between police unions and trade unions. Police unions are often disallowed membership in so-called "big tent" unions due to their perceived past and alleged ongoing role in union-busting. Since the early 20th century, there hasn't been a meaningful reconciliation between the movements (and often, the role of police in general is perceived to be inherently antagonistic to the goals of labor activists.)

It might be worth reading about how police performed aerial bombardment and gunned down union workers during the labor movement (late 19th, early 20th centuries) in the US, notably the Battle of Blair Mountain [1]. Even though this nears over a hundred years worth of distance, the effects ripple through today.

Yah well. For one, that is no village, but a long agglomeration of several towns along the valley where the Wupper river happens to flow through. Elberfeld, Barmen, Vohwinkel, ... nowadays Wuppertal. Get it? Valley of the Wupper. That was one of many industrial cores, hubs, clustered there. Solingen may ring a bell for its steel, knives, scissors, chains, maybe? Right next to it. I can tell you from personal experience about 70 to 90 years later, that it looked rather ugly, because of all the soot and acid in the air. Like the whole region called Ruhrpott/Ruhrgebiet (Though technically Wuppertal is Bergisches Land). When I visited my relatives going from Bonn am Rhein to Hagen in Westfalen by train, looking out of the open window, I had a black face. That was even more extreme towards Hagen because of Hasper Hütte, of which I witnessed the last operations at a very young age. Everything there was dirty because of heavy industry.

I generally agree with this, but I also think there is a legitimate use case for saying “Hello”, namely when you have a request that actually needs a fairly imminent response and if the person you are pinging isn’t responding right away, you need to move on to someone else.

If you type the full message to the first person and don’t get an immediate response, as you paste the same message to other people, the first person or few people who didn’t respond immediately might waste their time duplicating work that someone else you reached is already doing.

Some people buy into the idea of "the IPO window," a time when it's seen as safe to go public. Even people who don't buy into it can't deny that no one wanted to touch an IPO in March and April, so there's some pent-up demand.
