Many of those same developers will also be publishing those games on PC, and will likely already have to make certain effects toggleable or "slider-able".

If you simply downsample the textures as part of your pipeline, turn off some reflection maps, and a few other low hanging fruit effects you could easily bring the game down to the previous generation.

> I do believe that most people are basically decent.

If most people were basically decent, the natives and aborigines would still have their land. Entire continents of people were brutally exterminated and entire continents were stolen not so long ago really. Everybody was more than happy to participate in the genocide and theft.

People are selfish and behave in a system according to their selfish interests.
I don't know what the term "rock star developers" actually mean, but there are definitely people I would call short term and long term developers.

The progress of a short term developers work, looks extremely fast, but its logarithmic. A lot of bad project managers think he does an insane amount, maybe 10x, maybe 100x levels of work. He writes code so fast and cranks out so many features its no wonder he's a rockstar. After a while though, because everything he builds is built for the moment, its just nothing but mazes full of bugs that frighten even the nerdiest dungeon crawling hacker.

The progress of having a long term developer on a team, on the other hand, starts off slow, but it's exponential. He might need weeks or months to build up a good foundation. He spends time writing small things that show little to no benefit, but are built well and from which other things can be built on top of. Everything he builds can be used by anyone who reads it, so they too can use his work. His work multiplies the work of his own as well as the rest of the team. But the bad project manager sees him and thinks he's too slow to complete tickets. He is a .05x developer at this point because the average developer would have been finished with two features by now.

After weeks, maybe months, however, his progress matches those of the average developer. In time progress is so quick, it makes the short term developer's work, which is starting to plateau, look effectively flat. While the short term developer was spending his time building up walls with his hammer, nails, and duct tape, the long term developer was there making a drill, that was used in making a saw, that was used in making a ladder, that was used in making a crane. Now he's making skyscrapers using the tools he built, something the short term will never even be able to do in a single lifetime.
I don't the answer to this either, but I was surprised at the scale (30,000 people!). It makes sense, but wow, sounds hard.
Windows has transactional NTFS. It was never widely adopted, in part because it requires use of a whole different filesystem API (CreateFileTransacted instead of CreateFile, etc). I think, if it had been more seamless, it may have been more successful. Given it is rarely used, Microsoft has marked it as deprecated for potential removal in future Windows versions.

Why?
Don't understand why everyone has to argue back and forth..35 to 55 year olds are acting like 5...If u think your vote will make a difference then by all means...please vote...but if you think that it will go the way it's been paid to go, or whatever it is you think. Then by all means don't vote...but when the two totally different people run into each other in public..Rather than look like a fool in front of others.. Believe it or not..the ones that mind there own business..Ask the person out for a cup of coffee or a beer or food or just a sit down to chat...That will get us further down the road and a little more smarter than most politicians. Republican or democrats...we r now not trying to go completely incompetent as they sit back and laugh...This way if we as Americans straighten up and stop showing our asses...we then got one thing licked...Now the government has to sit back and figure what the hell they going to do now..See we all know it will take forever if they thinking they need to actually help the people who are here as Americans..Taxpayers who pay their salaries and line thier pockets.. Now Americans are no longer killing off each other..instead we are standing up for each other and lending a helping hand to complete strangers.We are all equal..All lives matter!!! You know we all bleed red, and cry the same liquid we call tears... Before bed if u pray how bout pray for someone you don't even know..a homeless vet..a druggie with no help that wants it..the elderly couple that can't go to the doctor cause of No insurance..pray that u remain strong and help anyone that you can...WE ALL KNOW OUR GOVERNMENT WILL REACH ACROSS ANY WATERS TO HELP...BUT NEVER SEND SOME 18 WHEELERS DOWN SOME NEIGHBORHOODS AND FEED OUR OWN PEOPLE...Moral of the story..We as Americans need to build each other up..And help anyone if you can...Goverment trying to take out our week, elderly, sickly, our poor...We don't need to help then but help our fellow loving Americans.
What would be the reason to disclose the details publicly? You can't do anything with the information right now; the vaccine isn't available to you.
I think I came off as too pro-Ocaml. I personally think OCaml has a ton of problems, and like you suggest, is unprincipled. Features are added with very little thought, and OCaml code can get very ugly trying to replicate the kind of power Haskell has built in.

But, all in all, I like OCaml more than Haskell. Laziness by default is a mistake and GHC's ever growing list of language variants is kind of stupid. Moreover, Haskell's monad based effect system is a lot less useful than people think it is. In my mind, the main benefit of tracking effects is to enable aggressive compiler optimization, not increased safety.

Haskell's effect system imposes a heavy burden on the developer, with little benefit.

Ocaml imposes almost no burden in doing whatever the hell you want, but the language is messy and full of decades of hacks and eye sores.

I'm one of the rare souls that actually likes OCaml's OO system and I actually think that the language would be a lot better if the standard library and other code leveraged it. As it stands, functors aren't expressive enough for many use cases and function as shitty classes.

Here's what I want from a functional language:

Something that looks like OCaml, but get rid of the functors, cleans up the syntax, supports HKT, supports function polymorphism, supports easy to write macros (ppx is so fucking shitty), and make it have Nim like OO call syntax. Every function that takes a type as it's first argument can be called as a method using the dot syntax.

Also, have the language compile to a native executable, and make the executable and runtime really really small. OCaml gets a lot about performance right, but the 20mb executables (no tree shaking) is unacceptable.
The cleverness isn't the service, but charging people money for it. Wish I'd thought of that!
That "(in various states)" is very important. They're all drafts except for the performance API which is an RC.

The four also seem really fit for fingerprinting. We don't need the web to have all the capabilities of a regular application.
Actually this is a great point: give everyone enough time off/benefits so that they could have children if they really want to, or they could use that time/benefits in other ways. In this scenario, everyone would make their decision whether to have children irrespective of calculations about benefits. Of course today's reality is that some people may question whether they can afford to have children, rather than whether they get enough back from society for the trouble.

I've just added it to the question ... thanks.

To be honest, I don't think there is anything that's robust, non-tech friendly, easy to set-up, and reasonably secure. It doesn't need to be secure against state-level actors, just against people accidentally copying in someone unintentionally.

Oh sure.

But I reckon learning the 4th, 5th, 100th new thing is _way_ less learning curve than learning the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd things. It's that early steep learning curve of all the assumed knowledge that Haines/Chilton/Ducati workshop manuals where a workshop buddy is hugely beneficial.

Happy to disagree on this. But I also will continue to recommend finding a more experienced person to help out when you're starting out, and will regularly offer to be "that guy" for people who show interest.

My '69 had the "two joint rear end" with CVs up against the transaxle but none at the wheel hubs and the bendy trailing arms (according to most info that means it was probably a '68, but it had a 1969 Australian compliance plate of it :shrug:). The '72 had the four joint rear end.
Investor disclosure. That the trial is on hold is material information to investors but the medical reasons why it’s in hold (like the type of adverse reactions) probably isn’t.
What do parents do during the summer or before public schooling starts? I've always heard controversy about parental leave, but why haven't I heard as much controversy about parents spending less time at work when their children are very young or during the summer?
I'm the Wrong Person to Answer This - I'm a hobbyist and a dilettante, not a scientist, but here's how I understand it:

At its core, what you're seeing in all of these steps are molecular interactions - neurons fire to the rate they do because they build up sodium, potassium, or calcium ions; different chemical signaling chains are what prompt the transcription of given genes; charge affinities between the amino acids and with their environment are what create the shapes of proteins and give them their properties and capabilities. Effectively, each atom - each electron on each atom - is affecting these interactions, and that's what's driving the whole system.

At the molecular level, the properties of a molecule are (effectively) determined by their structure and charge distribution - the atomic composition of the molecule, where are the electrons likely to congregate, which bonds are stronger or weaker, and where are atoms likely to be able to be added or removed. These affect how the molecule reacts with other molecules, and each reaction that changes either the structure or the charge distribution changes how the molecule will react going forward.

So, the computation model is effectively a physical/structural one - how do these structures meet, compare, and combine, played out over trillions of interactions and interaction chains.

(I'm consciously ignoring the quantum side, because A) I don't understand it well enough and B) the structure/charge lens seems to be basically sufficient.)

It's worth taking a look at some of the cell chemical pathways to see how some of this plays out - take a look at things like the Krebs cycle, which are basically steps of interactions in which a molecule or several are modified step by step in a series of splits, joins, adds, and subtractions that allow for the next step.

Part of what makes this tricky is that, while you can "zoom out" and focus on larger systems like neurons or genomes, the molecular interaction model shows up all over the place - neurons fire to the degree they do because of charge accumulation, DNA & RNA transcription are strongly affected by Weird Molecular Interactions, protein folding is at least partially a product of charge affinities, enzymes work as they do because of structure and charges. This is why a lot of these problems are enormously computationally difficult - it's a physical system, not a logical one - there's no way to isolate any layer from any other layer.

(I deeply welcome corrections on any of the above, by the way - I've spent time reading on all of this, but I'm not a professional by any stretch. The above is the model I've acquired over time, not reality.)
I have known lawyers and legal secretaries who just would not give up on WordPerfect, I think because of the footnotes. The two that I most recently had dealings with have since retired, but I'd be anything but surprised to learn that their are recent .wpd (is it?) files on the General Counsel's Office's shared drive.

I liked WordPerfect well enough from 4.2 through 5.1. Version 6 on Windows was not good. Even a slow typist (me) could get ahead of the cursor. But at some point my employer switched to Word and I haven't been back.

While I generally agree, it might also be worth pausing to think about the threat model before the baby out with the bathwater.

Consider who uses this -- and I don't mean that recruiters have zero technical knowledge (rumor has it that some do) but rather that an applicant will see very little if anything of this. If you test and secure those public fields properly and make sure the rest is behind basic auth with individual user credentials, you probably covered your threat model. XSS/CSRF vulns potentially cause you to lose track of who put that exploit in (one user could have put an exploit in that makes another do something), so you know it was an insider, just not who. Once you have your update management figured out (at least for public systems) and people no longer click attachments to invite ransomware (I have yet to see a single client with these two boxes ticked), rewriting your internal limited-to-recruiters applicant system might be the next thing to tackle.
I know it's not your main point, but this kind of simplistic reasoning that "racism = Trump" is precisely what white privilege/ignorance is about.

Society fundamentally has to be structured in such a way that enough people can afford to have children for society to be able to continue. And given that society does have a need for children and that economic conditions are currently looking like not enough will be produced, incentivization is required. And indeed is happening, very widely.

Keep in mind that despite reproduction being a biological urge, a lot of people nevertheless will not have children if they can't financially support them because they know they will contributing to a low quality of life not just for themselves but for their offspring as well.

This was not really "prehistory". About 100 years before the event here the battle of Kadesh [1] happened. Tens of thousands of soldiers are believed to have participated in that battle.

Not sure anyone "before the 1990s" was thinking that people were peaceful during the Bronze Age. 3200 years ago was almost to the day contemporaneous with the Trojan war [2]. That was not a time when people were peaceful and "concerned with trading and so on".

iirc wikipedia has some logic for this. When you add a reference it automatically makes sure the page is backed up and if not it triggers a wayback copy, then it scans for dead links in references and if one is found it replaces the link with wayback.

I would say a rock solid runtime with a focus on consistent performance, a nice C ABI, and low memory usage. Haskell suffers in non-trivial use cases and the is very hard to profile. Laziness has never worked correctly and in my view is a big mistake. Laziness is a dead-end, despite all the elegant code it allows you to write.

Also the tool chain is miles better than Haskell. I'd even say that the build/package management and editor tooling is some of the best of any language.

I really don't want a word processor, per se, so much as I want really robust (realtime) text wrapping/unwrapping as I edit paragraphs. I've tried to get Vim and Emacs to do reflows but both were very flakey compared to something like WordPerfect for DOS.

> Tell me what percent of the population can buy a house without a loan?

Maybe we should not all buy houses. After all, at the moment of out birth nobody decreed "This person is a house buyer". Maybe some of us should build our houses, which will almost certainly come out cheaper than buying. This is another choice we can make. Maybe one can buy a house in another area without getting a loan. This is another choice. Acting like someone else is forcing our choices on us I think it's ultimately self defeating.

Another thing to consider is that using the banks' money to buy houses inflates the price of the houses similarly to that happened to college tuition.

That's not true. Bezos or Zuckerberg could (and probably do) pay their childcare staff to live with them fulltime and maintain quarantine. Not really an option for most people though.
I’m not sure if my experience is unique, but I get so many packages from amazon so often that I don’t even bother looking too closely at the box or even have a clue which delivery might be inside. Someone could easily drop a package at my doorstep and I’ll pick it up and put it in my house without any awareness. Sometimes those packages will go for a while without being opened too, until I realize I need something I ordered. I could easily be holding a brick of cocaine for a while and not know.
Announcing HTAP Support in TiDB Cloud
You're completely ignoring that it's just as equally the man's choice to bring the children into the world, and therefore he needs to support them. It's exactly the same situation as if the dad were the stay-at-home parent raising the kids who was then divorced by the wife; both parents must support the children, regardless of the ongoing status of their marriage and regardless of their gender.

Also, I don't think you can blame income tax on the woman. The guy's salary is gonna get taxed regardless. So we need to either use pre-tax or post-tax salaries throughout all figures, not mix them and then blame the entire net difference, including tax, on the child support.
