That’s fascinating! Thanks for sharing both of you - I had an inkling that regulation and testing has a massive impact on the usability of IFEs.

I know some airlines supply an iPad which can be mounted to the back of the headrest and needs to be stowed at takeoff or landing. I wonder what kind of testing would be required for those setups.
The GBJam isn't about making software that runs on a legacy platform; you're using modern game engines, languages, and techniques while imitating the aesthetic limitations of the original Game Boy. (And pretty loosely, at that.)

It's a very different style of creative constraint compared to programming a specific virtual machine with limited RAM and not a multiplier or floating-point unit in sight.
Was meaning from the perspective of "I'm viewing a menu, this shouldn't max the GPU out". From another comment it does seem the video running in the background is being rendered in realtime, and maxing out the GPU.

I am not sure vsync would help in the menu, since the FPS is sitting below 60 in any case. Otherwise I'd agree with you that vsync should be turned on. It seems for FS that vsync is generally causing more issues than not at this point.
Sort of a Frankenstein’s monster situation Zuckerberg created for himself. He took Bytedance’s money so they could plaster TikTok ads all over Facebook and Instagram back in 2018.

TikTok pays its approved creators around $0.035 per 1,000 views. Maybe compete with that.
Microsoft had 90% market share in the operating system market and that is why they lost their case. Apple has less than 50% market share in the United States and it's unlikely the courts would view them as having monopoly power. The case is even weaker in Europe where Apple only has 25% market share.

It does not make sense to point to Microsoft and declare "these situations are the same" when there is a key difference in the amount of market power each company wields.
I’ve been part of a couple no code/low code platforms. They pop up every decade and do ok for a while and then wither and die, only to be replaced by the next gen of them.

4GL (fourth gen languages), BPM systems, things like clipper or dbase, access, even VB is a low code kind of platform.

The new generation focuses on web tech and mobile, and they’ll do well for a while, until the landscape changes enough and they accumulate enough cruft to become unwieldy to use.

In 10 years or so we’ll be talking about something like that again.
Very interesting. Does this mean certain optimizations run before the monomorphization step? Do you know why? Compilation performance is the obvious thing that comes to mind.
I was qurious about the classifier, and as expected it appears to be based on crawling to get the unsafe images - I doubt it's quite in compliance with neither copyright or gdpr..

Well, I've been building algorithms which explain _why_ something was surfaced, not just being a black box. Everything is controllable from data sources, ranking/filtering weights and a feedback mechanism to tweak this.

As for monetisation, I've thought about this a lot - and I don't think the time wasting is needed to create a good product. Google Search certainly isn't fueled by dopamine hits, and from an ads standpoint, our users are saying exactly what they want to see every morning.
> Isn't this a bug in class C, not your original snippet?

It's not. The bug is in A.__init__. It needs to call super().__init__(). C would work fine in that case.
> Biometrics is not transmitting a picture of a fingerprint, it’s presenting your hand.

What would this "hand data" look like? A 3D model of a hand MRI or X-Ray?

Based on my understanding, in any form of biometric authentication, some amount of static data (i.e. the biometric database is not receiving a secure, updating feed of the state of your hand/body) is stored on the server and compared with the data transmitted for authentication. Biometrics change (fingerprints can be rubbed off from gardening, DNA mutates, etc.), so this static biometric data is something that is mostly environment-invariant.

If someone can compromise your "full hand scanner" or compromise the biometric database (which will inevitably happen), then you are compromised for life, since you cannot change your hand.
One thing I find handy for visualizing large quantities is to imagine it as a giant cube. 28 trillion tonnes of ice is a cube measuring 31 km on each side.

³√(28ᴇ15 kg / 916.8 kg/m³) ≈ 31 km

Though even this technique falls down in the face of such a massive number. It works better with lengths < 750m, which are just small enough to imagine inside one's regular environment. Things like yearly production of steel (a cube 616 m on each side) or copper (cube 140 m on each side). It's particularly effective if you like golfing and can recall the distances on a course you've played.
That number is meaningless without context. USGS estimates the earth has about 24 quadrillion metric tons[1] of ice, so, unless I'm doing the math wrong, this loss represents 0.1% over 30 years.

That's the same conclusion I reached here. I also think when you pause (i.e. hit escape, not talking live pause where the sim keeps running), the game continues to render the full scene in the background, even though there's content in front. This just feels wasteful to me - the power delta on my GPU between active and idle is something like 100 W!

The intro sequence is a pre-rendered video - I reckon if Asobo used a pre-rendered hangar video, they could swap that out in a patch and nobody would notice or care, but it would knock GPU utilisation to < 5%.
If you get serious about data science, you're going to end up reading/watching a lot of different resources. I'm a data scientist and I'd suggest starting with fast.ai and then following your interests elsewhere. The best book or course is the one you're going to finish.

Private pilot here -

It’s not that difficult to land; especially in a sim where you can experiment without worry.

It’s all in the setup - as you line up on your final approach, make sure you are at a prescribed speed and rate of descent; generally in a small plane (172 etc), you’re aiming for around 300-500ft/m at 70-80kts, and the plane is pointing to hit the runway at the threshold (piano keys / white lines).

Counter intuitive: Throttle controls rate of descent, elevators control speed. Mess around until you feel these two things clicking.

When you’re around 20-30ft above the threshold, reduce power to idle, keep the aircraft straight and level or the nose just slightly high and just let the plane drop on to the runway!

Whatever you do - don’t force it, take your time and you’ll have far more fun actually going to places and stopping there!

"A Boston federal court ruled that U.S. federal agents can’t conduct “suspicionless” searches of international travelers’ smartphones and laptops at the border and other ports of entry, a decision hailed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) as a major victory for privacy rights. In a 48-page decision, U.S. district judge Denise Casper ruled that border officials need justifiable reasons to search a person’s electronic devices, which should be balanced against the privacy interests of travelers."
The federal government owns about 45% of California land. Of the forests, 57% are owned by the federal government; 39% are privately owned by individuals, corporations, or land trusts; and the state, county, or local governments control only 2%.

Also, most fires start in grassy areas. The Camp Fire that destroyed Paradise started as a grass fire on federal land before it spread to shrubs and burned through mostly private land. California has almost 8 million acres of shrubs.

The Woosley Fire that burned almost half of Malibu was started on industrial property owned by Boeing and spread through chaparral along the steep Santa Monica Mountains.

`require` is even better than you've indicated: it simply calls the contents of `package.loaders`, in order, on any new string it's given.

So in many instances, there's no need to replace the require builtin: one may simply add a new function to `package.loader`, anywhere in that order that's useful.

I've done this, and draw most (basically all) modules out of a SQLite database. It works like a charm.

If one has need to invalidate the cache for a given module, as comes up in live coding environments, simply set the require string in `package.loaded` to `nil`. Small caveat: the `package.loaded` table is 'special', in that the C which `require` is written in hard-codes a reference to it: one may not simply replace `package.loaded` in the global namespace and expect the new one to be referenced.
If we're talking about used bookstores, the author makes just as much on a pirated book as a book purchased at a used bookstore.
Its more than a hash since it needs to be able to match similar inputs (face at different angle, partially obscured), its probably just a bunch of raw measurements but not actually a photo of your face.

The upside is its only stored on the device itself and not in a master database and also isn't used for any remote authentication so can't be exploited by hackers over the internet.
It completely undermines the idea of independent arbiters if they actually are not independent but under direction. To represent that fact checkers are "independent" while you give them direction is immoral. This isn't comparable to a speechwriter, where there would be no pretense of impartiality, but more like you hired a referee for a contest and when you didn't like the outcome you told the referee to change it.

Regarding your weighing in, I didn't mean to suggest that it was inappropriate or uncalled for, but simply not needed. Obviously the reason that Facebook employees would work for an organization that does immoral things is because they consider it, on net, to their benefit to do so and not because of some secret obscure reason where transparently immoral actions are somehow moral.

I was heavily into PHP in the late 90s and early 00s, including hosting download mirrors, then left it for years for other tech in non-server areas. I got back to it recently to start playing with Micropub implementations and other indieweb stuff and was pleasantly surprised to find this server in there. It’d been a long while since MAMP and configuring Apache for me so it was nice to just not have to worry about unearthing that stuff again and hit the ground running on the actual software.

Well, /proc/$pid/mem is only one way of doing it. Here are a number of others:

- Use the debugger interface (ptrace on Linux, but most OSes have some form of debugger). Should Rust programs block themselves from being debugged, iTunes-style?

- By editing the binary files on disk that are mapped into the process space. Should Rust binaries refuse to run if they are writable by the current user?

- By loading a kernel module. Should Rust binaries drop CAP_SYS_MODULE from the bounding set, just in case someone wants to load kernel modules from a subprocess?

And so forth. Now, yes, these cases are getting increasingly silly, but I'm having trouble figuring out what the precise distinction is between "It is bad to release a crate that permits you, in safe code, to call a function that might be buggy" and "It is bad to release a crate that permits you, in safe code, to run SSH, because you could SSH to your own hypervisor and modify the current process's memory."

The best distinction I can think of is that a programmer who thinks they are writing code to do task X should not unintentionally also be writing code to cause problem Y. This is the fundamental problem with unsafe interfaces - it's not that, say, gets() doesn't work, it's that it's literally impossible to use gets() without also allowing whoever's providing input to overflow a buffer. If you set out to modify your own memory, well, you're intending to do so, so I don't think that the safe/unsafe distinction makes much sense there. I suspect an argument could be made that AutoCXX's bindings should be marked unsafe, but I think that argument needs to be more complicated than "producing any sort of automated safe bindings is equivalent to the halting problem".

> Rust's standard library should not expose tools that can lead directly to memory unsafety when only safe code is used, under some "reasonable" model of the environment in which it runs (which might include, for example, a working MMU, and process isolation boundaries)

I do agree with this, I think - I just think that "directly" / "reasonable" excludes stuff like /proc/self/mem.

Ask HN: Why Are Software Patents So Awful?
Ask HN: As a software developer from the stone ages who’s spent many years in the field of intellectual property (IP), I’m truly curious why Silicon Valley is so down on patents. This is especially true for software patents, and the sentiment is at least tenfold greater here than anywhere else I’ve seen.
Forget for a moment which side is right or wrong.

The startup community especially in SiVy values the scientific method, a diversity of views, facts over opinions, open-mindedness, objective thinking etc. In fact, I see these important skills, as I think you do, exhibited by all of the successful founders, partners and investors, and even in the YC training.

But when it comes to software and patents, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it’s group think: software patents suck, and you suck if you disagree. Believe me, I know there are some truly brilliant folks reading this but I wonder if there’s an understanding about how much marketing and the band-wagon thing has shaped your perceptions.

I’d love to hear your genuine thoughts. To be candid with you, it’s an area I’ve been looking to disrupt. Also, I’d love to hear from you whether you’ve personally suffered because of software patents, regardless of how, or whether your opinion is anecdotal from others or what you’ve read. Any other thoughts are welcome!

If you have questions, I'll do my best to answer at least some of them. And if you'd like to tell me where to go, that's cool too.

> There is no law of nature saying that for any system you wish to study, there is a simpler, easier to understand system you can study instead which should roughly replicate the results in your bigger messier system. Human economies are complex.

Perhaps true, but you don't have any evidence to support this assertion either. Physicists didn't launch ITER before doing a lot of experiments at a lower scale that they thought might scale up. Human economies do have models and rules--and often fairly simple ones model behavior quite well.

From my point of view, the first hurdle is making sure that UBI doesn't do active harm. A lot of "means-based" support DOES do active harm. The hard cutoffs have fairly severe perverse incentives that are now well-documented. Most of the UBI experiments seem to be indicating that they don't cause similar perverse incentives (that is the whole point of UBI but it's nice to have some evidence).

That's important because then the argument can be made that current "means-based" systems should be transitioned to either having a much larger limit or toward a UBI-like mechanism. Those have much more staying power than a UBI experiment.

I don't do this to "prove" that UBI works to the dog-whistlers--they will shout "welfare queens" until doomsday and simply can't be reached by logical arguments.

However, I would like to have some evidence that we are allocating the money that exists relatively effectively and that there isn't a better choice for doing so.

Imagine if major OS platforms had a common UI framework that any language can produce a UI

This has been attempted a number of times, both in the browser and without, and it always comes down to people complaining that the widget set isn't "native" in look and feel and operation, and the pendulum swings back the other way.

People used to complain that browser widgets didn't confirm to the OS's UI guidelines. Then you could style them with CSS and things really started looking crappy, then you have web UI frameworks that forgo all that customization (or at least discourages it in the name of ease of development).
It seems you have provided some context, but not enough for the conclusion you are drawing.

> My point was what I said: you can have your cake and eat it too. You claimed the issue was due to a lack of a super keyword and I showed you it would not occur even if C++ had super.

I made no such claim. I said (in my opinion) C++ doesn't have the issue you're raising with Python because it has a completely different design that doesn't attempt to solve diamond problems in superclass attribute lookup. Are we not in agreement?

> I "brought it up" to illustrate it does one particular thing better than Python. Not to claim it does everything better than Python. If you want a simple, beginner-friendly language, avoid C++ like the plague.

You can validly think that C++'s choice here is better. I don't think there's a counterargument to personal preference here. My point was that it does not solve all of the problems Python's super builtin is designed to. And that's fine! It avoids the issue in question! I actually don't understand what you are arguing with here. Personally I think the design goals here are just so wildly different that I don't have a preference, but I admit that's kind of a cop-out.

> Idk, for starters maybe produce a warning when multiple inheritance occurs and one of the __init__s in the hierarchy doesn't call super().__init__.

In general I think having more "warning labels" on multiple inheritance is the right idea, if a language is going to persist in offering it at all. I think this would be a good start, especially for a linter.
