Right, this is a problem, but it's orthogonal to TLV, but it's TLV I was arguing against, not necessarily for cap'n proto.

You can use OER without having to allocate all sub-parts of the structure from one flat buffer, with no "edits" that fragment the buffer, and no memmoves, and you won't get zero-copy, but you'll still get a more efficient codec than any TLV encoding. I just don't see any case where TLV is appealing, but TLV is appalling :)

I think we're on the same page.

EDIT: BTW, thanks for the clarification -- I thought that was the issue you meant, but what you linked to was lengthy and I didn't want to have to wade through all of it.

EDIT: Also, even if zero-copy schemes are inefficient for some uses on the encoder side, they can still be very efficient on the decode side, as you need essentially no memory allocations to decode (though you still need to traverse the encoded data).
Hah, an easy typo/slipup to make when talking about Fallout/Bethesda (due to ES: Oblivion).

I think that Obsidian is better off doing non-Fallout things (and personally Outer Worlds is so much "Fallout Alternate Space Timeline" already that I'd much rather see them continue with Outer Worlds as the closest thing they ever again do to Fallout). It's just interesting to point out how many of the "Fallout birds" will come home to roost at Microsoft.
If he doesn't feel like public feedback would be helpful, then why is he streaming about it? That doesn't make any sense at all.

Roberts Rules recognizes that if there's a conflict in two stakeholder's view of the notes, the only resolution is to call a new meeting.

(Ex: Person A thought that 3-weeks was the agreed upon delivery date. Person B thought that "3 weeks after next Tuesday" was the agreed upon delivery date.)

Who is correct? Person A or Person B? Maybe PersonC or PersonD have insight into the issue. Regardless: the solution is to call a new meeting to clarify and finalize this "meta-issue".

-------

Since you're calling a meeting "anyway" to finalize the record, the time to finalize the notes and resolve any conflicts is during the "next meeting", whenever that is.

Bringing up those conflicts as soon as possible is important (and should be in email-form under the modern business). But determining the solution to these conflicts is the very decision-making framework that meetings are designed for.

-------

If the current record is on Person A's side "Three Weeks delivery date". Then the imperious is on Person B to bring up the misunderstanding no later than "the next meeting", wherein it is assumed that the previous record is finalized.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter "what was said" at the previous meeting. All that matters moving forward is the record of what was said.

> People get the chance to object ASAP, and are otherwise bound to the record going forward.

Agreed: the sooner objections are raised, the better. Though it is important to note when the record is finalized officially. "The next meeting" is the most logical time to finalize the record.

EDIT: I should note that I've upvoted you. I feel like you and I are on the same page, I'm just elaborating a bit.
>[money] purifies on an institutional level

It purifies the institution to be a profit-seeking machine. That's had really good effects on the film & game industry.
On the AR/VR note, does anyone know offhand if there's any decent "hacker friendly" AR and/or VR hardware out there? And by "hacker friendly" I mean "you can develop for the platform without having to buy some expensive / proprietary toolchain and SDK and need permission from the hardware vendor to load apps". Even better would be if the device firmware itself were F/OSS, but I realize that might be asking too much...

Some really beautiful pieces. Some unsolicited advice... if you haven't already considered Etsy (I used to work there) it can be a great place to sell your work.

I've bought a lot of furniture (some custom) on Etsy and people have been surprised by that / think there isn't necessarily high quality work there.

In addition to the larger pieces, if you have work that's easily repeatable you can make a lot with e.g. tissue boxes or cutting boards, etc...

For example this shop made these beautiful boxes with brass inlays and I was able to commission a custom box with dividers for individual tea packets: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SawdustProductionsCo/sold

I'm also not a fan of closed-source compilers (or fully closed, even worse), but it's unfair to disregard his work and opinions just because it's not publicly available.

Regardless of that, this is not a discussion about compilers or compiler design/programming, but rather about PL design, which are two different areas and disciplines.
Yeah, I was only speaking to Android in my post, and iOS is a different beast with different restrictions when it comes to browser implementations. Is Microsoft in any way competitive or innovative in the browser sphere? I haven't used Windows for ages so I'm out of the loop there.

If AdBlock is a built-in feature in Edge on Android, I assume you still need to opt-in through the settings (e.g., Settings -> Enable AdBlock), no? In which case the setup is Firefox is similarly easy: Addons -> uBlock Origin. Perhaps a bit less intuitive for an average user, but still very straight-forward to set up.
Only one of them works with multiple threads. Dynamic scoping based on save-and-restore of symbol value slots is completely incompatible with multithreading. That's why Emacs still doesn't have threads.
What Is Deconstructivism in Architecture and Art
She does 3 chores - most of the dishes, most of the laundry, and vacuuming. And she still won't get that stuff right. So there is some learning involved.

She consistently ruins the seasoning on the cast iron because she insists on using scotch-brite on everything (plastic, glass, enamel, etc). She asks me to do the laundry if there are stains or if I need to pre soak the whites. Otherwise she always does it cold water with soap only and they come out dull or still dirty. And she insists on using the 2" vacuum cleaner tube to do the vinyl floor. It would be sooo much more efficient to just run it over the floor normally (won't hurt this floor).

She also has a tendency to break things and expect me to fix them - like it's not her problem. I even have to tell her stuff like keep the dog on a leash. Now I have to take care of a bunch of legal stuff for her (side not is that the officer wrote it up incorrectly or it would just be a fine).

Isn't one of the points of getting married to work as a team and make each other's lives easier? In my opinion she makes my life more difficult. I swear I'm the only adult in the house.

They lost on their claims against Carmack, had their award against Oculus reduced and injunction denied, and ultimately settled out of court. I strongly disagree with the magnitude of the damages sought.

Carmack also sued them separately for failing to pay him for part of their id software acquisition. They settled out of court again, with Carmack saying the settlement "fully satisfied their obligations" to him.

You could probably sell subscriptions to you-tubers who want to annotate videos on their channels. I am sure they would find a way to do cool things with it.
They show up in a few other areas, like probabilistic analysis of algorithms or sketching (e.g. Chernoff bounds and definitely the Cauchy-Schwartz ineq.). But you're right, nothing heavyweight like Muirheads has many applications.
One of my users pointed out that it would be nice to have a fully off-line capable app. There are a couple barriers to this:

- It would require users to have a p2p system set up to get the video onto their system, which is a configuration barrier for most users.

- It's not clear what the monetization strategy would be to fund the development of the app.

- It would require a large amount of device storage to hold the videos.

But if someone were able to figure those out, they might be able to differentiate from the similar products.
What would limit a brain chip from accomplishing that goal?
It should just be a case of setting up Wireguard then following something like this: https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/dns-over-https/clo...

Then you just need to use your VPN endpoint for DNS.

I do something similar but with Wireguard and Pi-hole.
No, the "living game" approach is because it turns out taking a "hat" asset that took an artist like 2 days to make (or you literally got for free from your fanbase!) and selling it for $5 to the 10 million people playing your game makes A FUCKLOAD of money. It's absolutely milking. Games make more money now when they are "Oh woe is me so expensive to make oh poor me feel pitty" then they ever dreamed of even when a game could be made by one person.

A business is always evolving. A business charges more initially so they can become default-alive. A business can then charge less and move downmarket with more resources. The greatest loss is a business going poof because they didn't charge enough in the beginning.

I'm a software developer by trade. I have a lot of woodworking experience by choice. I am a strong believer in that every developer should learn how to work with wood, or metal or other physical materials that require you to slow down and think about the next step.

But then I also believe that technical interviews should consist of putting software developers in a woodshop (experienced at woodworking or not) with a bunch of power tools and telling them to build anything they like. Those that still have all their fingers attached we automatically hire. Everybody else we write a glowing reference so they get a job with our competitors.

P.S. This is a joke.

I wish Nintendo would just take some ideas from other companies in the areas of online play and incorporate them into their own products. My friends and I would love to play Mario Kart on Switch with each other, but we can't be bothered to setup an additional voice chat solution and use the dumb lobby system. We also would like to play Mario Party online, but Mario Party Switch doesn't even offer its main game modes online, just a handful of mini games.

It's frustrating because there's a lot of untapped potential.
And where does the pollution caused by natural gas extraction fit into this comparison?
Wow, no mention of the headaches of CAP and the 8 fallacies of distributed systems.

Granted we use Kafka/Cassandra in our stack as NoSQL, but the lack of ACID is usually related to eventual consistency which is due to distribution.
Overwatch is definitely a big success - it's not the biggest competitive FPS on the market (probably fortnite if you count that - otherwise maybe CS:GO?) but it's up there. They also own Hearthstone which baffled me on release since it's so far out of their wheelhouse - but I believe they're making bucket loads of money off of that still... it's a literal collectable card game ><.
Also anecdotally, I've been running SSH on the same 30xxx port since ~2004, including a cluster, which ran a public-facing service that was a popular target for various forms of abuse.

There was not a single brute force attempt. None.
Goodness, the lack of any compiler at all would disqualify a lot of cutting-edge academic research on programming languages, much less the existence of a publically-available compiler. Often all you get is a diagram full of (basically) inscrutable derivation rules.

Nope. I'm hoping one day that they do. I don't pay attention to Jai anymore, and I'm hoping someone hits me with a link.
Where it seems to have broken down is via vertical integration.

When publishers were publishers and developers were developers (80s and 90s), it seemed like there was healthier competition. Even if there were a lot of abusive deals struck.

Now that we have giant, integrated publisher + development conglomerates, there's zero incentive to step out of that structure to publish a popular indie game.

It feels like news sites prohibiting links to external sites, and the world's the poorer.
I'm not sure what experience in "personal computing" would entail as opposed to specific systems like Kubernetes. You could find someone with 40+ years of experience in Unix, C, or writing 6502 assembly code, with varying degrees of relevance to modern day work. Someone who has 40 years of experience with the 8051 or PIC microcontroller could conceivably be useful today, so if you wanted your grizzled old sarge, you could have them, assuming you were willing to pay enough money or had an interesting enough project.
Put yourself in the shoes of someone who wants to send these articles to their manager to support an idea/project of theirs. It absolutely detracts from the professionalism of the post.

Any joe-schmo can string together smart sounding words. You need to signal to me that I need to take these words seriously, and when you mix in your otherworldly passions, I can’t take them seriously, it’s too unfamiliar to me.

Aside from that, what it is about the anime and furry culture that pushes its participants to include it in everything? Every once in a while, I see a post on the cringe subreddit of some young man who has peppered anime and fursonas all throughout a school presentation. What is driving the need to include this in everything?
Then you've got a bubble to break out of

My word, what is that page doing? Just opening it is enough to slow my laptop to a crawl (it isn’t the fastest in the world, but it can handle most web browsing just fine). Peeking at the Chrome DevTools shows it’s using over 500MB (not a typo!) of RAM.

I checked the Chrome task manager about a minute later, and it was using 1,811,020K of memory. Why?

This is a bit ridiculous.
Something I'm a big fan of for wfh meetings is inline comments in quip.

Don't miss some of the commentary below about zero-copy encodings.

Also, the ITU-T specs for ASN.1 are some of the best-written specs I've ever had to read and use. ASN.1 may seem dated and ugly, but its world-class specs are a real advantage, IMO.

It's rather hard to compare. My understanding is that LMDB is a library which accesses a shared memory-mapped file; kivaloo is a collection of daemons which are accessed via the network or a unix socket. I guess you could place a network protocol front-end on top of LMDB and compare that to kivaloo?

And sure, small values and a lack of transactions are intentional limitations which allowed me to improve performance for the use case I cared about. Of course there's nothing stopping you from constructing that functionality in other ways; in fact I'm planning on releasing a daemon which provides key-blob storage by storing large objects in Amazon S3 and using the core kivaloo functionality as an indirection table.
Are there any good nonprofits to give money if I'm interested in fighting this kind of stuff?
M&B is actually published by an arguably large company? I don't know where folks put Paradox in the ranking but they're certainly raking in the money with both internal dev & publisher only projects.

Always fun to grade these kinds of proofs with a bottle of wine at 2am.

I never faulted anyone for doing this, but I sometimes wondered why they bothered. Throwing stuff to a wall to see what sticks doesn't give you points.
Dude I sleep at least 7.5 hours a night. I just go to bed early: see the last sentence in my post. (Edit: just checked AutoSleep. Average is 7h:58m. Edit edit: And that’s 90% weeknight sleep as I don’t usually wear the watch on the weekend. So my actual weekly average must be closer to 9h.)

Think about it this way: instead of getting up at 7am and going to bed at 11pm – a perfectly socially acceptable schedule – I shift it forward 2 hours.

It really isn’t that radical of an idea.
Depends on a system you are testing. It can be that it is sufficiently complex that the dreaded manual testing will require a lot of expertise and effort. People sometimes seem to generalize IT to developing/testing websites, due to it being most common area of work but it is not everything of course.
Agreed, I don't think Gates can be descibed as fraudulent. He was like you say a ruthless businessman. But that is different than what this Nikola founder seems to have been.
I once worked somewhere that had an employee who took notes during every meeting, to what seemed like an annoying level. After every meeting, he emailed everyone who attended the meeting a copy of his notes.

A couple jobs later, we were discussing changing where some images were hosted. It seemed very strange to have them in their current location, and the process that copied new images to that location was clunky.

My manager at the time said, "Well, that's what we decided what the best way to do it was."

I responded with, "Well, what were the reasons for doing it that way, and what were the other options considered?"

He said, "I don't remember."

At this point, I mentioned it might be a good idea to keep notes of any meeting we have, as it would be useful to go back and have a record of that.

His answer was, "I don't think it's a good use of someone's time to record meeting notes."

This was a meeting that involved about 12 people, 9 of which had no real say in the matter (field techs, etc).
6 or so generations back nearly all of our ancestors we're engaged in some sort of agrarian existence. There's plenty to be said for re-establishing the common knowledge people had back then with regards to growing their food - via things like allotment gardens, reintroducing the basics of farming in the educational system, etc - but the frequent fantasizing you see about returning industrial society broadly to an agrarian condition is often dishonest in its stated intent.

Very few want to return to agrarian society, but some want to use a reversion as a pretext for controlling industrial society toward illiberal ends.
>Buffet did horribly during the crisis. He admittedly undervalued Tech and invested in Airlines - big regrets.

Buffet actually did wonderfully. His 2016 Apple investment (which he made in front of everybody's plain eyes) grew by more than $50BN (even after Apple's recent falter) and is probably the greatest trade ever pulled off. Airlines trade that didn't go well (and clearly covid outbreak is not Buffet's fault) was worth a fraction of that.
Note that this applies to grocery stores too.

Well yeah, I loved the ME1 Mako and thought that very "Star Trek exploration" concept something strong about ME1 that I thought 2/3 deviated too far from, but I realize how much of a personal taste issue that becomes. MEA's open world could have used more time to bake (and still seems as much a restrictions caused by the Frostbite engine issue as anything, at least to my outside perspective). Also, yes, I find that for an FPS/3PS-focused engine, I don't entirely understand why Frostbite feels so bad at FPS/3PS combat mechanics, but I also have never played Battlefield/Battlefront games so I don't know if that is a BioWare/Mirror's Edge fork(s) specific problem or a general Frostbite problem.

It feels like the video games industry has done the reverse of Hollywood.

Hollywood went from a vertically integrated system that handled production, distribution, and exhibition by a single entity to a system where production, distribution, and exhibition were done by separate entities.

It feels like game development went the reverse way.
