Not every change is cyclic, so you risk being unable to respond quickly to fast permanent changes if you don't acknowledge a change until a sufficient amount of time has passed.

> The whole point of an IP is that you know what to expect, and having different studios working on the same IP is contrary to that goal.

Is that actually the point of an IP? I would argue that an IP is more like Star Wars where the games that can come from it can vary in format and mechanics. And less like Battlefront where the expectation is a specific set of mechanics and game modes. I would argue that if someone where to make a non RPG Mass Effect that would still be within the IP and wouldn’t go against the core concept of IP.

OK. I'm sorry you got the impression that I didn't communicate. I answered a shitload of tweets and emails in the days/weeks following the launch. I apologized thousands of times. I scrambled to fix issues at the same time.

At some point I think I had some sort of breakdown and could no longer cope.

I'm trying to recover here. But every time somebody mentions Arq, someone seems to come along and make a comment like your above comment, which makes me want to throw in the towel frankly.

I bust my ass day after day to try to do the right thing because I believe that what you put out into the world is what you get back. I hope in the longer run that's true.
I ran a similar app and it was surprising how many requests were getting made, it wasnt super helpful as they were all either AWS or gcloud requests. I did see which apps were making the requests and at what frequency, but that was about the level of detail available.
My understanding is that Unity is hoping to catch up as soon as some of the final AOT stuff merges from Mono into .NET 6, so "for a while" in the case of Unity is now supposed to be a year or less (given Preview versions).

Wow, what a twist.

I'd say that doesn't really apply though because not only is consensual BDSM invisible as a minority classification, it actively tries to remain hidden in public. It is inappropriate to display such things to people who haven't consented to being shown them. That's why you don't wear a gimp suit to go grocery shopping, the other patrons haven't consented to being part of that scene. So if anything someone who engages in BDSM would be very much offended see master/slave used casually in a public setting.
Current understanding of autism is that it is a developmental disorder, and not something characterized by excess/insufficient hormones. It is hard to imagine how a disorder that challenges information processing in the brain could, with our very limited understanding of how such things actually work, be handled by a chip saying "You should respond to such stimuli in X manner, not Y manner". It's not a case of "X is handled incorrectly, tell the brain to do Y instead".

I could potentially see such a thing working for, say, epilepsy, where we might be able to "mute" or counter a stimuli that causes seizure, but, at least for the forseeable future, I don't see "brain chips" working in contexts other than concrete causal links, stimuli, reaction/response mechanisms - I think one hint is that there's nothing we can do to "medicate" autism. Medications currently used are for "byproducts" of ASD, such as ADHD, anxiety, not the disorder itself. Indeed, the closest (and we're not particularly close) we have come to thinking of how to manage ASD is gene therapy, which wouldn't be manageable by a "brain chip".
The answer is not perfect -- the questioner might be correct that Jobs doesn't have a handle on the tech side of things. But I did think that the answer was coherent. He concedes that, without going into details, OpenDoc may be the better option technically, and surely in a sort of contrived case it would be possible to come up with situations where it is. I can't speak to the accuracy of the claim given I am not familiar with whatever the actual arcane debate was at the time, but I immediately infer from context that this is the questioner mad that Apple is giving up superior technology in favour of broader adoption technology.

Then he says that it's actually not about the tech, it's about the extent to which the tech enables a good end-user experience. The printer anecdote is imperfect, but it is him highlighting a point he referred to many times in his career, which is that tech (and especially tech specs) is just a means to an end and people just by the end. Like how 3.x era Android phones often had more RAM or nominally higher clockspeed but were substantially less responsive to their contemporary iPhone competitors.

I do think he dodges the second question entirely, but the second question is, in so many words, "You suck at your job. Care to comment?" so, like, what is the ideal answer to that? Crucially, he correctly senses that many in the audience empathize with the aggressive tack taken by the questioner and he admits that it's a fair tack and he has no real defence. If someone tells me "you suck at your job", I think I'd be more likely to respond to validate their anger than to actually take it to be a factual claim in need of rebuttal. If anything I'm shocked that Jobs had the empathy to read that correctly.

I don't see it as RDF so much as it is an honest and coherent and adequate but imperfect answer.

What Cassandra users think of their NoSQL DBMS
> With regard to the web, it's very easy to write automated tests against server-generated HTML or an HTTP API.

Funny, I find the opposite. Code for the web is hard to write reliable tests for. Typically I want to test that my component actually exists and is visible and does the right thing in a browser, so I need to produce the whole page instead of just the unit under test. This means that bugs - or just changes - in other parts of the page can make my test fail.

I'm not a front end expert and my colleagues rarely have been either, so maybe I'm missing something about best practices here, but I've definitely had the opposite experience to what you describe.

> But a year later when I remember it was that person's eldest's birthday I've made a solid connection.

Everyone is different, and I applaud you for the effort involved, but I have to confess:

This sort of thing mostly creeps me out. There's no way you remembered it organically, which means that you spent the conversation with me trying to identify items of personal interest that you could record and replay for some kind of social benefit/bonding.

My advice, and this might be what you do already, is to make sure a) the _thing_ is important enough to remember on its own, and b) your "memory" is vague enough that I don't think you're CRMing me.

E.g.:

BAD: Hey it's your wife's birthday on Thursday isn't it? Wish her a happy 34th from us!

OK: Hey your wife has an autumn birthday, doesn't she? I remember we talked about it last year around this time. Wish her a happy one!

GOOD: Oh that's right, we talked about that last year. My wife has an autumn birthday too. Wish her a happy one!
Call me skeptic, but I’m not really sure that pyramid would be able to stand in place 4500 years. Same shape, way less durability.
Society gains nothing. Certain political activists do, however. Spotify, like many tech companies, has a sizeable number of these political advocates on their staff.

Follow progressive academics and activists on social media. They actively deride the concept of free speech. Read their writings. They explain that free speech leads to free thought, which may lead to "hate" (which they define as non-compliance with their political dogma). They also define non-compliant speech as a form of violence. Paradoxically, they also define failure to engage in compliant speech (ie "silence") as a form of violence.

Therefore, to prevent "hate", one must take effort to abolish non-compliant speech. And the only way to not be "hateful" and "violent" is full-throated advocacy of their political beliefs.
Thirding (?) this. The integration of gameplay elements into the story and the story itself are simply amazing. It is similar to Undertale, in that the gameplay is relatively shallow, but is paced perfectly with the story.
This is delusional nonsense. Just because women have better endurance and survival advantages in specific situations like very long distance running and conditions in that paper doesn’t mean they aren’t physically weaker than men by massive margins. And it certainly doesn’t mean that their weaker bodies are due to social conditioning.

I don't think Range is intended to be a 100% solution at all. It only supports iteration over integers and slice indexing over a specific integer size, which are its main use cases. Also the author is exaggerating on the footgun, as Range is explicitly end-exclusive, and the Regex is explicitly end-inclusive (e.g. [a-z] includes z), so a RangeInclusive should be a straightforward decision.

Yes, I think it was a rushed type which should be a lot more constrained on 1.0 to allow for modifications later, which is how stuff is usually done in Rust. It also probably should have implemented IntoIterator instead of Iterator directly. It may also be my least favorite Rust type, but I don't think it's really that bad, and I'm thankful for whoever designed it as I find it still much better than slice-specific indexing syntax.
I am no longer paid to build software. I was a SWE for 15 years at things from startup to a FAANG. Not I teach high school CS.

I build software anyway. Today I automated a workflow to turn zettlerkasten lesson plans into PDFs and post them to Google Classroom. I’m also upgrading the school timetable to sync everything (schools have lots of proprietary tools with their calendars) to Outlook.

In class I wrote a one page Huffman encoder with my pupils. We also turned a binary tree into ascii art. I showed another class the mypy typechecker.

Then I came home and put a final coat of Osmo 425 UV oil on my 100” garden dining table, and spent two hours designing a hardwood gazebo in the style of a mini English barn (crucks, beams, etc.)

I told my partner about this thread and she said maybe I could become a commercial carpenter. The idea of having to do this for money made my heart sink. No thanks!

A much later thought, that perhaps speaks to the idea that one size does not fit all:

The Apache Arrow project, which is the most ambitious project I know of for sharing data among systems in a performant way, ended up going with a mix of options. Actual data is stored in a project-specific format. When the data are serialized (e.g., to disk or for transport over the wire), headers, schemata, and suchlike are formatted using FlatBuffers. The RPC protocol itself uses Protobuf for the messages.
Half of those things are simply impossible, as far as our model of physics is concerned.

The other half mostly exist in a century after the 21st, in most Sci Fi.

The nonexistence of tractor beams is no cause for pessimism about immortality drugs, since even when the trope of tractor beams was invented, we knew that physics as we know it allows for no such animal. By the same token, we know of no hard reason why effective immortality isn't in reach.

I don't expect to see it before entropy takes me. But that's just realism, not pessimism.

Lawyer here — self-cite (2010): "Note-taking in meetings and phone calls: Three easy habits your lawyer will love you for." [0]

Contemporaneous meeting notes are invaluable in legal disputes because they help the lawyers reconstruct a timeline of what happened. Plus, contemporaneous meeting notes tend to be believed more than hindsight witness testimony, which can have credibility problems — as in, people sometimes "forget," or hedge, or flat-out lie.

But: Meeting notes can also be misconstrued — sometimes intentionally (e.g., by opposing counsel).

Fortunately we bought a deep freezer just weeks before the pandemic became known, as a bit of a Christmas gift to ourselves. What serendipitous luck that it was already full of goodness by the time it dawned on us that we're going to go through it all a little faster than intended.

Of course now that we're half-way back to normal, and expecting to repeat the earlier part of the year but with lousier weather, we are filling it all back up again. With some lessons learned -> variety is key to keeping your dietary sanity.

We have lots of masks and alcohol wipes and hand cleansers, and good old fashioned soap since those really are the biggest defense we can have right now. We always have a couple months worth of daily supplies (toothpaste, tp, shampoo, etc) so we just increase what's in storage as the weather starts to chill.

We're also simultaneously preparing for winter itself so we don't have to go out into public much at all. Lots of candles and lighters, flashlights and batteries, and we've already stocked up a half a year's worth of dog food for the pooches.

Buy things you will need when they're on special now and until you need them so you aren't rushing your ass off at the last minute. Let the hoarders have their own high-priced chaos alone during the crappy weather that comes with November/December. You'll end up less rushed, and save money besides.

To fix that problem you have game systems that are more random / forgiving in lower ranked games (remove the skill).

Then in the harder ranks you can dial back those mechanics and make the game more skill based.

Just a little tip for Valve there. I'm sure they're reading.
It's not the end of the world, of course, but sometimes it makes debugging much harder. Especially with higher optimization levels.
Also, a lot of the Xamarin stuff will be merging directly "out of the box" with .NET 6 next year. In particular, what used to be called Xamarin.Forms will be called MAUI [Multi-platform Application UI] starting with .NET 6, and the MAUI name and new namespaces (Xamarin.Forms => System.Maui, Xamarin.Essentials => System.Devices) seem to show greater investment/interest from Microsoft in making it first class moving forward.
To some extent yes, but not really, overlaps seems to me happens at transition from lab R&D prototype to prototype deployment/integration with agency.

So my first thought was "hey, why doesn't it take AsRef instead?" Then I checked the rust playground and... AsRef is not available for simple numbers, which I find confusing - since you can always reference an int, why isn't it?
My knowledge on the Assange case is limited (I have not read any leaked documents), but from the press I get the impression that he uncovered illegal acts.

If true, it would be more like this:

A friend sees that an illegal act is committed inside a house and asks you to pick the lock in order to go in and stop it.

I'm not sure that this is true. Common Lisp shoots for "100% solutions" a lot and it never ends up with the kind of crap that this article describes. This could just be a result of the fact that a lot of clunky-looking code can be handed off to macros and a human will never have to see it or touch it.

Alright, that's good, because I would really love for there to be a service that would streamline the way I request data from service providers or request the deletion of data connected to my account, as well as the account itself.

However, your site says:

Doesn't that mean that apart from all the, possibly bad, actors out there that have gotten their hands on my activities _you_ are now also in possession of PII connected to me? How does that improve things for me?

a) This isn't strictly true. The Facebook app runs on users phones.

b) I don't know why you think this is a compelling argument. Why shouldn't we demand ethical behaviour from software accessed over a network? I can't tell if you're just a fatalist who can't even imagine expecting better, or if you really believe doing shitty things to your users doesn't count if you do it over TCP.

Either way it's an old strategy for businesses, pay or convince a celebrity to use your platform to bring their fans along. You want a wider span of 'influencers' though for sure because you don't want Mastodon to become the place with all the Beiber fans.

Yeah, what? Can you clarify what "this" is?
I agree, I also think that it's possible everyone involved could have been working with diversity in mind and still were blind to this bug.

Imagine someone makes a diverse facial recognition model where the confidence for detecting black faces are usually 99.96% even in rough lighting and 99.99% for white faces. They may have an acceptance bar at 95% so it's well within tolerance.

Combine that with an auto-cropping algorithm that takes a image, does computer vision on it, and selects the object that has the highest confidence and fits within the crop window.

When tested on both, portraits of white people and black people, it would pass, but in the examples, it falls down.

I say all of this not to excuse Twitter -- I still think they need to rethink how their autocrop works and fix it, but I don't think people these days do any type of people recognition without thinking of diversity.
This sounds like an XY problem. What you want is for your ears to not be hurt by loud sounds. Physical audio kill switches is one solution but I can think of many others that I personally would prefer.
