Absolutely. Here's a few examples, though I could produce a hundred more:

AssetBundles. Not marked as obsolete. Not marked as deprecated. Unity docs look fine, with no references to anything else you should do: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AssetBundle.html. They are in fact obsolete anyways. See here: https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/assets-resources-and-assetb... "this tutorial has now been deprecated. We now recommend using Addressables for your projects"

EditorUtility.SetDirty(). Rider says "Marks target object as dirty. (Only suitable for non-scene objects)" and it's not marked obsolete or deprecated. Seems fine, right? Nope, it's been deprecated since 5.3. To their credit, the full Unity docs do reference this, but who is going to consult Unity docs for literally every Unity function they ever use, in their entire project? It should be right in the IDE. Better yet, the function shouldn't even exist! Unity 5.3 came out over 5 years ago!
About Apple's new headquarters:

Shaped like a spaceship, it also suggests to the local community, which grants Apple huge tax breaks, that the company could take off and relocate anywhere in the world, whenever it wants.

This seems precisely backwards. A massive, stylish new headquarters in Cupertino makes it harder for Apple to relocate anywhere else in the world, and ties it more to the local community. Indeed, the fact that Apple HQ is in Cupertino seems to define the essence of Cupertino more than anything else. I feel like the author is distacted by appearances and ignoring the substance.
Press one button and presto: you have a game running on all the environments one could possibly want today. This alone is worth putting up with a lot of deficiencies in the UI, or the API, or whatever.

I remember this boat in early 2000s, when engines were less capable, and I was younger and more arrogant. The thought of using some crappy engine with last gen graphics would make me laugh. Of course I was going to make my own thing in C hand-optimized to squeeze every last triangle from the hardware. Good luck if you didn't have that exact hardware configuration :)
Usually, there is a 'no short' window after IPO.
It is better to buy put options as it limits your downside risk.
Unless you are a big dog (can actually effect the market). Then shorting is better because you can force the price in your favor.
Statistically having minor children has been shown to make people less happy.

https://ifstudies.org/blog/does-having-children-make-people-...

I’ve never had to deal with raising small children - I have two stepsons for whom I’ve been their only father since they were 9-14 (now 18-23). But they were already mostly self sufficient by that time. They were at the fun age. Not the helpless baby stage where they couldn’t do anything for themselves.
I remember reading this somewhere as well. If I recall correctly it was called something like “compound skills”. Could have been... Linchpin.
I know a couple people who won't think about people 'that way' if the person is in a stable relationship. For me it was hit-or-miss.

Do you think if you included people who were unavailable because they were taken or you were taken, would that number increase?
I am not a doctor nor any sort of specialist, but consider that you might not need a daily intake for extended periods of time.

Ask a doctor and do research about taking high dosage on the winter months (when you have less exposition to the sun) and no dosage at all the rest of the year.
But does this badge influence the scientific profile / resume of the researcher in any way?
This is a great point. Vitamin D deficiency causes problems, and should be treated. 5000 units a day can be great for treating a deficiency - until you are no longer deficient. The answer for you is checking your Vitamin D 25-OH level. If it is still low (under around 30), then you may need the high dose. If it is getting too high (above 60) then you need to back off. There isn't a one-size-fits-all dose for everyone.
> I understand these are first-world problems.

They are. Second (and some of the third) world countries often have much better internet, both in terms of competition, prices, and overall quality, than US and Europe, in my experience.
A relevant analogy is small fish in a big pond or big fish in a small pond. You are effectively making the pond smaller by going into a more specific niche.
In these terms it outperforms Unreal. Ease of use and speed of development is main points why I have been using Unity for years.

extraordinary is "Beyond what is ordinary or usual."

This word brings about three thoughts...

1. What is beyond ordinary? Who sets the direction? If it's more technical work, more creating, or more money... who sets that as a good or useful direction?

For example, a software developer who is ordinary as a developer but guides their children well could be extraordinary in that aspect. It may not make a list on the Internet but it is extremely valuable to people that (I assume) the software developer cares about.

Who is setting the direction for extraordinary we should care about?

2. Ordinary is normal. If everyone becomes extraordinary that because the new normal. The target is constantly moving.

3. Why does being extraordinary matter? Consider it for a moment. Should the goal to be contentment, happiness, or something else? Who is even setting the goal of being extraordinary anyway? Why would it make your (or my) life a good life?
> I wouldn't want my code to end up on acceleratorskeptics.com with people that don't understand the material making low effort critiques of minor technical points. I'm here to turn out science, not production ready code.

In what way do idiots making idiotic comments about your correct code invalidate your scientific production? You can still turn out science and let people read and comment freely on it.

> As an example, you seem to be complaining that their Monte Carlo code has non-deterministic output when that is the entire point of Monte Carlo methods and doesn't change their result.

I guess you would not need to engage personally with the idiots at "acceleratorskeptics.com", but likely most of their critique would be easily shut off by a simple sentence such as this one. Since most of your readers would not be idiots, they could scrutinize your code and even provide that reply on your behalf. This is called the scientific method.

I agree that you produce science, not merely code. Yet, the code is part of the science and you are not really publishing anything if you hide that part. Criticizing scientific code because it is bad software engineering is like criticizing it because it uses bad typography. You should not feel attacked by that.
Unfortunately , “ease of use” and “one tool fits all” are a pair of conflicting features. Unity really does a fantastic job in this regard.

Ultimately, well resourced team may choose to develop their own engine for the flexibility.

That's a nice theory and makes a lot of sense.

But I don't know about you but I find I very rarely get around to watching things like conference video for sessions I missed live. You end up with a big backlog and it's easier just to ignore the whole thing.
"and it still regularly crashes on me". Your experience differs vastly from mine.

Actually, I'd recommend to reserve a lot more time for the National Museum of Computing then Bletchley Park.

I found Bletchley Park itself rather boring. "This now-empty building used to house X", or "this is what Alan Turing's office looked like" is a lot less interesting than the amazing machines in the Museum of Computing.
“Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn't stop you from doing anything at all.”
― Richard P. Feynman

“Comparison is the thief of joy.”
- Teddy Roosevelt

To me, "extraordinary" is a state of being rather than doing. Don't worry about what you want to be, but just what you want to do. Do things and be alive in the experience, and stop worrying so much about how you stack up against others. You're all going to die, live while you can.
Don't let the label "fundamental" mislead you - String theory has no impact on our understanding of classical mechanics, because we already know classical mechanics. It is actually classical mechanics that influences string theory, because the microscopic theories have to conform to what is already known about the macroscopic world. The fundamental is not the foundational.
Taxi drivers weren't treated fairly[1]. They were just abused by others instead of by Big Tech, so nobody cared. The appearance of Uber has actually allowed some progress in their labour rights[2].

Its my understanding that any vitamin that is "Fat Soluble" as Vitamin D is, will have a toxicity level. If you're ever looking up Vitamins, figuring you should supplement or not, look at whether its Fat Soluble, then start looking at what the safe dose is.

Zinc is a very common one for people to overdose on because its super common in Cold Lozenges. For an Adult male, one resource I just googled says daily recommended dose is 15mg, or a safe upper dose of 25mg, but some lozenges will have 15mg in a single lozenge!
Repo owner here. The jmoore.dev domain is for my personal website. degoogle.jmoore.dev is linked as the website in my repo (https://github.com/tycrek/degoogle) but it is not the primary site I wish people to view it from.

As noted in https://github.com/tycrek/degoogle/blob/master/MIRRORS.md for GitHub Pages: "I am using my personal domain as some firewalls block GitHub"

To be quite honest I would prefer to not use GitHub either, but in the interest of easy collaboration GitHub is the optimal platform to manage the project from.

Don't get me wrong: I totally agree with the irony of using a Google TLD. But as @franksvalli said, I do not use AMP, Angular, or Google Cloud. Any tracking done on that page is from GitHub Pages that I do not have control over, unless I make my own auto mirror for that domain.
This is not correct on several levels. Reproducibility is not achievable in many real world scenarios, but worse it's not even very informative.

Contra your assertion, many people do some sort of regression testing like this but it's isn't terribly useful for verification or validation - but it is good at catching bad patches.
I loathe zoning laws, but they were not "originally designed to limit where Chinese immigrants could live and work"; that was one application, but not the whole story. Zoning was more about protecting rich neighborhoods full of mansions from a 'blight' of apartment buildings.[1] Single-family house zoning is what differentiates North America from other regions.

A few years back I was subscribed to newsletter, daily/weekly nuggets about ideas with thorough research. Are you the same?
I think the failure rates of marriages are more related to the strong economic incentives to marry when it is not "the right time." You forgo a lot of disposable income by staying single and this can be the main drive to get married.

And then on the other hand, rearing a child seems to have become more expensive as a percentage of worker output than it used to be as that output is extracted by things like rent.
Interesting part about Zulip is it is really amazing for less frequent users. I usually come back to 3000+ unread messages and catch up on all conversations that I find relevant (thanks to stream>topic hierarchy and Recent Topics view).

Also, its trivial to have multiple teams on the same Zulip org, people are just subscribed to different sets of streams. So, say you have two teams: mobile and desktop, for example. You can have streams prefixed with that name:

#mobile-hangout
#mobile-issues
#mobile-support

OR

#m-hangout
#m-issues
#m-support

Good conventions for stream naming makes it really natural for multiple mostly isolated teams to exist on the same Zulip org, and share some streams like #announce, #general, etc that everyone is subscribed to.
Isn't medical error the number 3 cause of death in the US?
Yeah I think there are economies of scale at work here, similar to how Hollywood designs blockbusters to be globally marketable (https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-53676789).
Is Unity still "Easy to build, impossible to maintain", always breaking code after you upgrade?
The restarting is independent from the games performance. Battle times actually eat into the time you have after the battle to update your team, and at some point restarting the game is faster than watching the battle unfold.
Don't forget that UHD versions are separate from their SD/HD versions and sometimes OV versions are separate from subbed versions that are sperate from dubbed versions. So you end up with ~6 search results for the same movie. Beware of what you buy.

> It is a rare company that spends money and resources on verifying from their users' point of view that they're being delivered what was promised -- unless that company actively cares about the user.

I wouldn't say it's rare. Companies that do this are very open to lawsuits but also bad press, and that's the thing all companies hate - having to make public statements and ultimately fix the issue, isn't worth it to any business at scale. The DoorDash tipgate was hugely embarrassing for them, and Uber has also been very publicly ridiculed in the past that the the last thing Dara wants is anymore bad press.
> This is in part due to the conservatism of the industry and in part because extensive scientific training is generally necessary to have enough biological insight to correctly identify an opportunity.

I don't think younger practitioners have a problem identifying opportunities in biotech. They have a problem identifying difficulties in biotech. It's pervasive that young founders think everything is easy, or have an understanding that misses "one key detail".
Tragic, but not really, either way I would like to see more nuanced discussions just about its under or overpricing, or something more overt like its "pumpability".

Or maybe a discussion about how to get price discovery at lower valuations instead of just dumping on everyone's 401ks at high valuations.

Looks neat. Where are the notes stored, locally on the device or in the cloud?
Your argument raises a lot of good points. I actually agree that binary does lose all of the metadata and documentation that goes with it. That is a big problem. That is why I think it is also important to include some sort of documentation like an Xdmf file [1]. That is what I use to tie everything together in my particular project. HDF5 is fine. In fact, I would have strongly preferred my colleagues using HDF5 over the proprietary format that they did end up using. But HDF5 requires an additional library. I did not want to use any external libraries in my particular project (other than MPI), so I tried to look for a solution that achieves close to what HDF5 can achieve but without requiring something as "heavy" as HDF5. I have to admit that perhaps my design choice does not work for more complex situations, but I think it is something people should consider before tying themselves down too much.

Large building projects have a habit of becoming part of the landscape. Consider big bridges or mountain pass roads and railways: in the perception of those who experienced both the before/after they surely all ruined that view, but to those coming after them, the same structures tend to be a highlight.

In the Swiss Alps, people take far more pictures of the Landwasser Viaduct than of the untouched parts next to it. This is an extreme example (because it's so exceptionally pretty), but the same is true to an only slightly lesser extent about most other things that have been built into those nice landscapes. (the dark cavities of the new Gotthard that dominate the view from the old Tremola are a rare exception)

Unity indeed abandons lots of its features, another part is bad.

Fortunately there are 3rd party solutions for many of them and you can easily create your own for features you need that will serve you for years to come.

Also I have been using Unity with self hosted Gitlab and never had any problems, though you need to get used to it for sure.
> The marriage of reason was not, in hindsight, reasonable at all; it was often expedient, narrow-minded, snobbish and exploitative. That is why what has replaced it — the marriage of feeling — has largely been spared the need to account for itself.

I gave in and watched Indian Matchmaking, where they talk about marriages (what we'd call arranged marriages) and love marriages (what we'd call marriages). What was presented in the Netflix show was pretty sensible: it's like tinder but each profile comes pre-vetted by your family, so as to avoid issues with the in-laws.

While some parts of the show seemed a bit antiquated (and sexist), the underlying philosophy of "marriage is between families too" seems like a good idea.
Often I pack a sandwich for lunch and bring it with me on a walk in the park; it's an easy way to get some sunlight without having to carve time out of your schedule (presuming most of your lunches aren't scheduled as work meetings...)
This seems very similar to Google's Slicer system[0][1] which was published in 2016.

> The concept of using sharding to scale services is not new. However, to the best of our knowledge, we are the only generic sharding platform in the industry that achieves wide adoption at our scale.

In typical Facebook engineering parlance they have to claim to be the first ones ever to do it. Fragile egos over there.

Putting hubris aside, I think it's great that a decade or so into large scale computing we're starting to see patterns emerge for scaling stateful systems and be able to build good generic solutions to them. This is sorely needed especially on the control plane side which historically hasn't gotten the attention that data planes have.

My sister's chocolate shop requires state and local duplicate inspectors, fire inspectors and health inspections. She's required to install 7 sinks (minimum) because she serves food. She has to have handicapped parking spot, for a walk-in business with exactly 1 parking space. She has to undergo regular 'training' in food handling. All to serve boxes of chocolates and a latte.

It's part of the one-size-fits-all regulation that states and cities adopt to 'streamline' their rules.
Not disagreeing with your assertion on the opinion of “most researchers” but you’ll often find quite a few people advocating for using the methodology sans data as a means to determine publication worthiness to try and avoid the perverse incentives for novel or meaningful data.

I think it’s too easy to game the data (whether knowingly or not) with poor methodology. I advocate process before product, in other words.

> Does scientific-grade code need to be reproducible? Yes. Fundamentally yes.

I agree that this is a good property for scientific code to have, but I think we need to be careful not to treat re-running of existing code the same way we treat genuinely independent replication.

Traditionally, people freshly constructed any necessary apparatus, and people walked through the steps of the procedures. This is an interaction between experiment and human brain meats that's missing when code is simply reused (whether we consider it apparatus or procedure).

Once we have multiple implementations, if there is a meaningful difference between them, at that point replayability is of tremendous value in identifying why they differ.

But it is not reproducibility, as we want that term to be used in science.
Unlike taxes/benefits, I don’t think you could scale regulations linearly - at some point there has to be a cliff. I wonder if a solution could be a time-offset cliff. I.e. regulations apply five years after hitting a revenue threshold, at which point you either grow past the cliff or fall under it.
In my experience, finance people who insist on using Excel only on Windows generally do so not because of any reliance on "native controls", but on longstanding dependencies upon VBA macros with hard-coded dependencies on specific legacy COM components.

For some, “family” reduces to “children.” In this case marriage does not mean much. It’s sufficient to marry a competent and trustworthy friend or colleague. And to maintain colleague/friend levels of emotional and physical distance from that person except when actively trying to conceive.

For others, “family” starts between husband and wife. You build a loving home with each other, then add children to it.
