I think it's actually really smart. Xbox and PlayStation sit awkwardly between the casual Nintendo gamers and the hardcore PC gamers. This is a way to steal market share from both sides because as the other comment mentions, these games are typically adjustable in terms of graphical quality so the user that "just wants to play" and doesn't have the fancy TV can participate more easily while the gamer that prefers consoles but envies the specs of a PC can get their cake and eat it too.

Brilliant - I've long observed that almost everything we are doing with our GHz computers, we were doing previously with old MHz systems. We have more pixels (but use them for the same result), more memory (but everything has grown to fill it), more bandwidth (but websites packed with junk bytes).

The only "new" thing enabled by our bigger systems is "big data", which is largely a process of finding patterns that will fool the user/purchaser/customer.

I bought a washer/dryer at a regional appliance chain recently. Checkout was at a desk with a terminal. The implementation was modern, with high contrast colors and nice fonts, but unmistakably still “ANSI” [0]. The employee who checked me out absolutely flew through the invoice, contact, and delivery forms. It was really nice after dealing with so many companies that just use web apps with obviously overloaded backends.

I haven't mentioned it because logs are full of garbage from crawlers even without any bugs (there's a shocking amount of malformed, malicious, or just crazy bugs - I think there must be crawlers which use n-grams or something to predict possible URLs to speculatively fetch), and I haven't tracked down whether it's anything to do with SingleFile or just the crazy old Internet being crazy. At some point I'll have to dig into it more.

It's probably something simple like "lots of websites encode addresses with absolute paths, so bots follow those; SingleFile ought to rewrite absolute paths to point to the original domain."

tbh, I'm not sure if I believe the allegations. Most of the most serious assertions have come from people connected to the CIA and the various Radio Free * newsources that come from the state department. Very few of these stories are independently verified and the numbers claimed are comical. Of 11M people, they claim 3M are in camps. A friend of mine's sister just visited XJ and said it was fine. You can't hide 3M people out of 11M. Given the anti-China stance of the ruling class right now, I am extremely skeptical of various scurrilous claims being bandied about. The US routinely lies about official enemies and has for decades (nay centuries), so their record should speak for itself. A recent example is the Iraq War and WMD. Another famous example is the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

For example, the US news reported that the UN had condemned the practices in XJ, but in fact it was one US person on one commission that didn't represent the UN as a whole. The US media has to do more than mere assertion. In any case, the current fascist US regime has little credibility on human rights issues given their open support for police murders and various policies of ripping children away from travelers and imprisoning them.

I'd like to say show me the evidence, but unfortunately when I try to read chinese government documents or political discourse I am befuddled by my inability to read chinese. :-/ Note how many US reporters on these stories cannot either.
I've gone through maybe 20 of the top comments so far and not one has pointed out that having kids is a choice. All of them are saying "childless workers don't understand parents have it tough!" Yes, they do. That's why they're childless.

As a childless worker, if I volunteer at non-profits with all my free time, can I take 6 months of paid leave occasionally too? Which non-work related hobbies are deemed "worthy" for all this extra paid leave? Is there a list somewhere? Or is "being a parent" the only item on the list?

I think mybe part of why it doesn't work so much for modern games is that modern games are constantly being patched and updated. You could write a big detailed guide and then the next day, the devs push an update which changes everything.

This makes modern games less "real", in a pseudo-physics sense: experiments that you perform in them do not replicate over time, due to bugfix patches etc. Sort of like if, after physicists announced the results of the double-slit experiment, God force-installed a "fix quantum mechanics glitches" patch to make it no longer work.
This paper is really about solving a fundamental problem in decentralized identity, which is to combine the characteristics of self-sovereignty, privacy and Sbil-resistance, which seems to exclude each other.

I guess I've never had that problem on my Linux desktop. I've had it for around a quarter-century now. There's a philosophical question whether it's the same desktop, since it has none of the original parts. I guess I've reinstalled the OS too, probably twice in the time.

I'm sorry, but the problem here is Google. You're looking at this at a 10 foot engineer's view. I'm looking at this at a 10,000 foot view. Google has all the power in the world in this ecosystem. If it requires you to use one particular type of hardware... it can do that. If it requires you to open source all drivers... it can do that too. If it requires 20 years of support... that's within it's power.

And if it was a Linux problem, you couldn't get around it by installing Linux on some of the now-deprecated devices; I've seen people do that too. So Google doesn't just break the devices that are no longer supported. It's 100% planned.
> which is why Xi inaugurated his office with the anticorruption campaign. Yes, there was some power consolidation involved, but most of the effort was genuine - CCDI has investigated close to 2,000,000 officials, even Xi doesn't have that many enemies.

Xi became president as a compromise candidate between the internal factions, so he didn't have much support or allies. CCP officials are corrupt by default, of course the effort would be genuine, even though the true intention was to consolidate his power inside the party.

Re. CCP lifting 500m out of poverty -- I'd argue that the Chinese people prospered and lifted themselves out DESPITE of what CCP has done. Looking at the potential alternative and what KMT has done to develop Taiwan, I'd think that's the case. But there is no way of testing that.

> Authoritarianism + capitalism are absolutely compatible.

I agree with this in the case of Singapore. But when CCP is actively exporting its brand of authoritarianism to other countries and influencing the freedoms of other countries' citizens as part of an ideology war [1] using unrestricted warfare [2], then that organization becomes a threat to the world. The best case HK can hope for is the collapse of CCP.

Was really surprised with all the JS etc options I had to scroll through to find ncurses, which to me is synonymous with TUIs!
this is not about tracking though. Even with an ad blocker, just about every website and blog now presents multiple spinning boxes when its loading. This is unnecessary , timewasting, environmentally unfriendly programming. And yes , 100% of the time it s devs that choose to build a site this way.

It's come to the point where i feel bad for using plain old single-request-loading html, because it doesn't look 'spinny' enough, and users may think it's uncool.

Making something faster by throwing more hardware at it doesn't meaningfully count as making something faster IMO, you can make the most inefficient piece of software "fast" by throwing the biggest CPU and network you can find at it.

The real issue is why should an otherwise capable CPU from 5 years ago struggle to render the average website today, when it really shouldn't be that hard. Scrolling through someone's marketing website _should_ be a painless experience on even a low-end budget phone.

Most wood stove fires aren't directly because of the stove, but people who have gone years and years without ever cleaning their chimney or try to slow burn lots of shit wood like pine. And when the chimney builds up with tons of creosote it can then catch on fire and burn inside the chimney, seriously overheating it and causing a fire.

This point is agreeable, though if you browse the web on the same phone for 5+ years (my dad still uses his iPhone 6S), you may notice a difference over time.

Also, it's not a good sign if consumers are forced to go along with planned obsolescence just to keep their Internet browsing experience from becoming increasingly slow. The principle of progressive enhancement means that websites built today should work well on phones made years ago.

>they chose to have children, and I chose not to

Up until the pandemic, my work schedule had almost never been affected by me being parent in any way. I chose to have kids knowing that my wife and I would be able to continue working without this significantly impacting our jobs (after the first several weeks after they were born, of course), and that has always been true until this. You are acting as though parents fully understood the pandemic would happen and would affect them at the time they decided to become parents.

This argument is like saying that a storm knocked down your neighbor's house, but not yours. So it's unfair that your neighbor get some leniency from work while he tries to repair it while you are expected to keep working. "He chose to build his house on that side of the street, so he has to deal with the consequences."

This isn't about giving extra slack to parents. It's about giving extra slack to people who were hit particularly hard by this situation that they couldn't possibly have seen coming. I was forced to return to the office even though I'd rather be at home. I have a coworker with no kids but who takes care of his mother who is very sick and at high risk for COVID. He gets to keep working from home, which is what I'd like to do. It's never crossed my mind to be annoyed with him for that.
Childless people don't feel bad for parents for the same reason they don't feel bad for startup founders that work 100 hour weeks. You're putting in the effort for 95% your own benefit (a child that grows up and keeps you company on Christmas in old age, or a big pay day from selling your company), and 5% societal benefit (children growing up and joining the workforce, or a company providing a valuable service and employment). At the end of the day, there will be enough people that pursue these things without any extra incentives so you don't get the pity as well. You can disagree and still see the argument as valid. I certainly won't give a shit if no one pities me for being a parent because the time and effort is mostly for me -- just like it is for everyone else.
I think the problem is that the leaders in the company (technical or otherwise) didn't recognize that software systems are like children: They have phases.

The ship it constantly is probably ok when you're small, but at some point you need to become more mature than that, both as an organization, and as an approach to the software itself.
I agree, I've been with them for years and haven't been able to fully transition yet. I did try finally copying over old emails via their IMAP bridge but it had bugs even after all this time and now a bunch of my old emails have permanent defects. At least they're old emails I guess.

Their technical support has been prompt at least. But my email also doesn't arrive at most google hosted email domains when delivered via a mailing list so it's been a mixed bag. Apparently that one is unsolvable because Google improperly uses DKIM signatures for spam detection.

I'd probably go with something else if I were starting again, I still can't customize swiping left and right to move forward and backwards in my email box, which really seems like a pretty basic feature that all the other clients use. It is odd that it is still missing after 2+ years of development. I really can't recommend it other than that I probably won't switch again for a while and misery loves company.

Just to raise awareness about this (not trying to be nitpicky, sorry) labor in american prisons is typically unpaid (or might as well be, sometimes paying less than $1/hr) and not optional as the 13th ammendemnt specifically allows slavery as a punishment. JCPenny uses american prison labor to market their jeans as made in america, and I believe mcdonalds uniforms are made with prison labor. Netflix has a very good documentary on this, I'd recommend it (as long as you're willing to be very sad about it for at least a few days) https://www.netflix.com/title/80091741

For reference the 13th ammendment reads "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

But the rest of your post is correct.
I don't know why someone would downvote this. There has indeed been massive consolidation of local media, and that is a good example.
wxWidgets is a decent choice. Not all of its controls are accessible though. Most infamously, the wxHTML control (wx's own HTML engine) isn't accessible, but the web view control (using the OS's web browsing engine) is accessible if you futz around at the native layer to force the keyboard focus into the right place. Also, on Windows, the list view control is accessible but the data view control is not. Frustratingly, the opposite is the case on Mac and (I think) GTK.

I suggest you test with Narrator rather than NVDA. Disclosure: I work on the Narrator team at Microsoft. But that's not why I say this. The reason is that NVDA and JAWS have some ugly hacks that they can use to make some GUI implementations (particularly using Win32 with GDI for graphics) accessible even if they're not accessible by design. For details, do some searching on the term "off-screen model". Narrator doesn't have this, so if your product works with Narrator, you know it's really accessible.
> > […] By the mid-1920s, the overwhelming majority of Chinese intellectuals believed that an authoritarian solution was China’s only recourse. Some looked to the Soviet Union, and to Bolshevism. Others looked to Italy, and later Germany, and to fascism. Liberalism became almost irrelevant to the violent discourse on China’s future.

I did not read the article, but I'd point out that this is in opposition of what Sun Yat-Tsen and Chiang Kai-Shek believed in. KMT take over happened around the 1920's, they believed the road to rebuild China was through [1]

And indeed, this is what Taiwan had gone through under the rule of KMT, evolving into the democracy today.
> If this was the reason why parents get a free pass...

You’re framing this discussion as something you flat out don’t accept as reasonable, despite the thoughtful responses in the thread.

Is there any point in actual engaging, or have you already made your mind up?

Perhaps, rather than repeatedly and blindly repeating your view over and over, like you might somehow convince parents that they’re bad humans who deserve to be punished, try considering the views of the others here...

This a pandemic, if there was ever a situation where the situation was a bit more complicated and a bit more empathy to the circumstances was required, this is it.
Is it really worth it to dig a hole? I seem to recall some other initiative that was stacking large blocks with some kind of tested COTS construction cranes.

> Some generic advice I give to new grads which I never considered until I had kids was to seriously consider a medical profession because it is well-paying AND has a strong culture of part-time where shift work is the norm.

I'm going to ask you to clarify this.

In my experience, medical professions are LOUSY for "part time". You are on horribly long shifts. They move around continuously. You have no control over your shifts until you get to a very significant level of seniority.

And, right now, you're on the front lines of a pandemic.

The only advantage to something like nursing (at least it used to be) is that no matter where your spouse is, you will have work.
I think "bored" is a really unfair trivialization when the parent comment's choice of words was closer to "devoid of meaning".

The examples you gave are the day to day things that childfree (& single) people are doing. None of those things involve meeting new people, which is exactly what is causing that emptiness.

Trips, concerts, bars, etc are the kinds of special occasion that motivate the single person to make it through the week. I can continue running, continue having Zoom parties, continue programming for fun (when I'm not mentally burnt out from work), continue watching TV. But there's no discovery or excitement in this routine. It becomes meaningless
I wonder if the same group of people would also be against boycotts of large companies because they would hurt individual workers?

One thing I find is that academic-oriented debaters often view the criteria for the value of a tool/language/system/etc. very different than those used to thinking in terms of business (profit, resources, deadlines, etc.).

For example, assuming easy access to elite staff (dev & users) and having lots of time for perfecting a domain model is often unrealistic in business. Getting the "right" answer seems more important to them than resource constraints a typical business faces. They are perfectionists in their models and tools but not perfectionists in resource management because they either don't have enough practice there, or are rusty.

One has to agree on resource metrics up front, otherwise the debate won't get anywhere.
?????

Personal issues? I think you're projecting something.

I was responding to this comment: "I'd personally trust Google's SRE team more than any other cloud provider in the world. They seem to have a great historical record and if they had any slip ups there, their business would be impacted for years."

I'm not sure how commenting on Google's historical record is off-topic here, or what you mean by MY issues with the company.

I use many tools from Google. I avoid many other tools from Google. They're great at some things, and horrible at others. I don't think it's unfair to discuss those. Privacy and MY security aren't their forte. But most things I do aren't super-high security, so that's often okay.

Energy storage by lifting or releasing a weight, in their case, in a well underground. Nothing new; I am wondering what's special about them, compared to tens of other companies trying to offer the same type of energy storage.

AFAIK, the most common is done around hydro dams, by pumping water upstream as a form of energy storage. The infra is already there, but it's not as efficient as systems like Gravitricity. But it costs a negligible amount of money to "activate" energy storage in a pre-existing dam.
