That advantage doesn't magic away the fact someone is still has to add support for the platform... if it's not Unity, and it's not you personally, it doesn't mean some other team isn't doing it.

I mean to put it very simply, do you think that adding support for a platform with hardware that was probably pretty new since Unity does tend to be ready near launch for major consoles... was more work or less work than your 10 weeks of merging stuff then bug fixing?

You could spend 10 weeks on a new hardware platform just getting to a working engine just because of toolchain teething problems... and I bet someone at Unity definitely did to get you to the point where all your biggest worry was testing and merge conflicts

Also this comment in your original post:

> at which point you start the process again since a new major version was just released.

Surely you're not trying to imply Unity... which went half a decade between releases for a while, then switched to LTS releases with 3 years of support minimum... is forcing you to upgrade every 10 weeks...
Confusingly, Cloudflare Argo Tunnel was at some point named Warp, too. I believe some of the documentation (code?) continues to use Warp for Argo.

They mention in the article how it spreads via emails not via exploits (in which it would be called a worm, not malware).
> A court in Virginia granted Microsoft control over many Internet servers Trickbot uses to plunder infected systems, based on novel claims that the crime machine abused the software giant’s trademarks.

> “Users subject to the negative effects of these malicious applications incorrectly believe that Microsoft and Windows are the source of their computing device problems. There is great risk that users may attribute this problem to Microsoft and associate these problems with Microsoft’s Windows products, thereby diluting and tarnishing the value of the Microsoft and Windows trademarks and brands.”

> Microsoft said it will leverage the seized Trickbot servers to identify and assist Windows users impacted by the Trickbot malware in cleaning the malware off of their systems.

> But so far it’s not clear whether Microsoft succeeded in commandeering all of Trickbot’s control servers, or when exactly the coordinated seizure of those servers occurred.

The author does not account for the tail risks of driving an unfamiliar rental car long distances, especially in a dangerous country like South Africa where hijackings are super-common, especially in Johanneburg.

How certain are you that the brakes won't fail and the CV joints won't go in the middle of a hijacking or a blockade of burning tyres in the middle of the national highway (a weekly occurrence in ZA)? Or that you'll be pelted with rocks by a mob of protesters on your way back from work (common)? Or that an unroadworthy minibus taxi will swerve in front of you without signalling (a daily driving experiience in ZA)?

My Subaru Forester is costlier to maintain than a rental, but I know all its faults and limits. I know fast I can corner without sliding and I know I can get out of a sticky situation with all-wheel drive and a 2.5L turbo. I hope I don't need to, but I can outrun most hijackers and drunk drivers (there are many).

I know the history about attempts to "westernise/civilise" native children. That happened in Australia as well with Aboriginal children and it was completely wrong. However, I don't think that's what the current adoption is, and it made me question the slant of the whole article.

You and I have a right to not do anything with those people. But for the sake of discussion, I'm willing to do that with people where we disagree on reasonable things. I'm not willing to have a civil discourse with people that adamantly refuse to believe facts and think I'm a part of a larger conspiracy.

Does that mean censorship of all of these people / ideas is the answer? I don't think so. But I know that if I ran a platform where people were discussing holocaust denial I would ban them. I'm willing to admit I might be a hypocrite on that front, but alas I am a human.

Some form of the hazing seems very common for dotcom hiring right now, whether or not (as the article alludes at the start) the people who are mimicking it from elsewhere known the reasons or effects.

This is extremely good satire. Well played indeed.
I actually watched that Michael Malice interview the other day too. I disagree with him on that particular idea that people are divided so permanently into these classes of people. I definitely used to be a normie liberal/progressive with many of those associated pathologies but I've always been very independent minded.

This is a very common idea though, closely associated with the idea of the importance of heredity. It's such a common idea (think of the emphasis on genealogies in the Bible) that I can't fully discount it.
100% is fine.

That's the thing with neonazis. They are 100% in agreement about ethnic violence. It isn't a side effect of their belief system. It is the core of their belief system that undesirable people should be murdered.
You can still name your releases if you use Semver. You can for example call it 1.2.3 John, 2.0.1 John, Then if the next release is really big you can name it 2.1.0 Phil. Then when talking to customers you can ask them if they have a John Or Phil version.
I agree with you but there are a lot of technologically naive people out there.
That sort of system is totally _possible_, but not the way any modern automotive connectivity works.

@tails4e:

> You clearly saw a few logic gates

Well, perhaps 5 years of studying digital electronics engineering is worthless here... ;-) Saw a few logic gates when was 15, now I'm 40, and saw them already more than few ;-)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not underestimating issues related with entire way from design to manufactured product. But FPGA in not any "magic" different in terms of how you design it and how you manufacture it from other digital ICs.

In case of AMD, they have well established internal process for pushing from design to production of new ICs. Design of LUT or internal routing logic is really trivial, especially when given a perspective of designing something like RYZEN. I'm sure AMD could do it itself without significantly noticeable financial effort to the company.

Given above - software (and possibly software patents) is the only real advantage that XILINX might bring to AMD with that deal (unless AMD has plans to develop on new markets - which I don't really think so).

I think one possible reform is that SWAT teams should belong to a separate department than the regular police. If the situation gets out of hand, then the police can call in the SWAT.

But we shouldn't be expect regular beat cops and detectives to be the people kicking down doors with bullet proof vests. The two jobs require very different skillsets and temperaments. Unfortunately because of the long-running wars in the Middle East, the US has no shortage of combat veterans with experience in these types of urban warfare situations. I'd definitely a trust a SWAT department filled with ex-special forces more than I'd trust a small-town cop LARPing in military gear.

The second benefit is that a lot of times, I think police start itching to break out the military gear because they have it and think it looks cool. By separating the departments, it removes that incentive. They're not going to hesitate calling in SWAT, when the situation's genuinely dangerous. But they're going to think about letting an outside agency step on their turf for everyday situations.

WWII and their aftermath shows exactly the contrary.
I have the same Chromebook, and have had good results charging it from USB-A via a 5V-12V boost converter with a barrel plug on the 12V end. The one I use [1] was $8 on Amazon back in 2019, and I wouldn't trust it with a high-current load, or leave it unattended while charging - it gets pretty warm charging the Chromebook, enough so that I'm glad I only got it for occasional emergency use with the big 26Ah USB pack that lives on the side of my backpack.

I fully expect it to let the smoke out some day, but with a supply voltage less than half what it's delivering, I don't think it can fail in a way that'll hurt the Chromebook, and until it does I'm happy to have it as an option. And I bet those dinky little un-heat-sinked boost converters from the article likewise get pretty warm, too.

(Also, passive USB-C to USB-A female converters are trivially inexpensive, enough so that I just got a big bag of them so I don't have to care if they disappear on account of being tiny. For a new-build project, it makes sense to go straight to the connector, but for back compat purposes I can definitely recommend having a good supply of them on hand - USB-C cables seem in general to be either expensive or unreliable still, so being able to adapt old cables to new sockets saves a lot of headache. Especially when the old cables are permanently mounted to devices!)

I don't think it's useful to conflate anything right of center with fascism. I was thinking of parties like NPD or Golden Dawn, which aren't just "right wing", but thinly-veiled Neo-Nazi parties, attracting hundreds of thousands of votes.
>> Maybe it hurts freedom of speech, and maybe it's overreach

That you are even willing to say that is both admirable and shows just how far out of control the concept of 'freedom of speech' has gotten; and how unfair it is - when you, whose family actually died from the Holocaust - allow room for these perspectives, while they would look you in the eye and tell you, point-blank; your family didn't die / you're making it up?

I think freedom of speech needs to have some sort of intentional hate speech clause.

Theoretically within the space of such a clause diplomatic discussion should be able to take place.

People are equating freedom of speech with freedom for hate speech, and since there are laws against hate speech, we have seriously conflicting laws.
Exactly. This is not a binary choice between free speech and no free speech. It is a debate over where to place the line. We have plenty of speech that already falls on the illegal side of the line such as threats or libel. Some people want to move the line so a few more things are on the illegal side. Free speech absolutists aren't making a fair argument when they respond to that good faith request with "any change means the end of free speech".

Economic "Sciences". Economics is more of an art or a social "science" than a real science, but I guess use "science" to muster credibility if they must.

What's next. The nobel committee is going to rename the literature prize to literature "sciences" because the literature prize has lost any credibility or value?

Why not just say economics? Why try to sneakily and falsely latch onto the sciences. It may work for the short term but in the long term it really detracts from the field as it tries to pretend to be what it is not. There is value in economics, but not in the sciences.
The Navy's recent antigrav patents add another layer of mystery. tl;dr, that the Navy seems to be claiming that they could maybe build something like the Tic-Tac seen in video, and the Chinese are working on capabilities.[1,2]

It seems to me that all this is an elaborate disinformation campaign of some kind, possibly to encourage near-peers from blowing research money on junk or cover some other program like UFOs did for the B-2 or F-117, or the project is either impractical enough or close enough to practical use to justify lifting the veil of secrecy somewhat. It hides in a quantum state of maybe, much like many of the things Ben Rich, former skunkworks director may or may not have said about how advanced their tech was.

Ok, but again, that applies to literally any anti-theft system. Like for instance ignition lockout is extremely common on fancier cars, if that system fails for any reason you can't start the car. If you're stuck in a middle of a glacier in your fancy Ferrari then you're screwed. Again, remember that this was triggered when they were taking the seats out of the car,like, come on, that's a "huh, interesting" case , not "huh, someone needs to do something about this" case.
There was the Stargate Project

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_Project
Without going into too much depth, there was considerable controversy over this planned sale because of questions about ARDC's authority to make decisions involving this IP space (ownership of the IP block was never really assigned to ARDC per se but rather assumed due to lack of another clear owner), some historic bad blood between some amateur radio groups and ARDC (involving in part ARDC's administration of this IP space), and due to a perceived conflict of interest involving the ARDC board of directors. This was a big enough and loud enough issue for a while that it's kind of odd to see any announcement of this transaction being closed that doesn't mention the upset when it was first proposed.

Overall I think the sale was the right thing to do, but it is the fruit of a poisoned tree to some extent, and there will be ongoing questions about whether or not ARDC should really be in control of these funds. I am personally most just concerned about ARDC's ability to competently manage such a large endowment, since historically they've been a fairly low-activity group with some odd internal dynamics and a bit of a rift with some other amateur radio groups. On the other hand, maybe the endowment will allow them to hire a competent staff and become much more involved in promoting digital amateur radio.
My brother, who spend most of his life in the Marines, explained the difference between the military and the police to me many years ago.

The job of the military is to accomplish a set mission by any means necessary, including force. The job of the police is to ensure that law and order are kept. If you send the police to do the job of the military, the result will be dead police and and unaccomplished missions. If you send the military to do the job of the police the result will be dead civilians, and eventually civil disorder.

We have a lot of police who have forgotten this. And the results are obvious.
Here's the OP's comment from the final update:

>>They couldn't do the remote reset once it was outside? I thought that was the original issue

>Oh yeah, so nope. The fact it had no signal at the time of the tamper safeguard being triggered meant that remote recovery wasn't an option, even when we moved it into the open. Idk, an extra layer of theft protection I suppose.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Justrolledintotheshop/comments/j9qn...
Yeah I agree that specialized police forces (e.g. those who are called when people are taken hostage) need modern weapons that can counter the weapons of criminals.

But when I say specialized I mean specialized. That means special training, special deployments, special oversight.

That is how it is done in most civilised nations and it works very well. Regular cops rarely even need their handarm in most western nations. The whole German police force fires roughly 35 bullets at people in an average year, with an average of 8 deadly ones. There are cops in the US who shoot more bullets at people in a week than the entire police force of a nation with 80 million people in an entire year.

This so obviously due to bad (and too short) training, a misguided police culture (rather than neutral enforcers many US cops seem to think they are the law) and of course a lack of hard consequences for the "bad apples".

Of course it has to do with weapons in general, but the Austrian village I grew up in has a Glock factory in it, every second family has rifles in their locked rifle cabinets etc — yet Austria and other Nations with a lot of guns (Canada, Finland) don't have comparable problems.

History isn't written by the victors. This is a common if pithy misunderstanding. For example, there has been explicit effort among historians over the last 40 years to give voice to previously silent actors throughout history. Examples include women, the poor, and the colonized.
I believe that some are keying in on the word order and how 'killer whale' sounds like a term for a particularly carnivorous whale when in fact the creature in question is an ocean predator who sometimes happens to kill whales.
That's a little irrelevant; if someone wasn't complaining, it's likely one's boss wouldn't know.

But that doesn't imply it's the mob's fault; it's up to the person who said the things to not say things their employer would fire them for.
In the last 18 months I've lived with 2 kids in a condo in SF with a car, a downtown condo in an Asian megacity without a car, and in suburban silicon valley with a car and large yard. For us, by FAR the best quality of life has been in the suburbs.

Having a yard is exceptionally valuable with kids. They can be free to run around, play yard games, explore - all without draining the emotional reserves of parents. You can do this while you make dinner, work, or do other things that are unrealistic at an urban park. And you can play with them too. It is not that expensive to get someone to care for your yard if you have some financial flexibility.

In a family there are many kind of resources - time, money, energy, emotional reserves. Scarcity in the first two are easy to focus on because they're quantitative. But scarcity in the latter two - especially emotional reserves - is actually the limited resource in many families. Having to deal with the stresses of children (even if they are mostly well behaved!) puts a real strain on relationships. And the friction from an urban environment, especially one like SF which is not child-friendly, or a giant megacity that has very high density, just drains away the scarcest resources that a family like mine actually has.

If you have some financial flexibility and need serenity and quiet to be your best, combining kids with an urban environment in exchange for spending less is a very poor allocation of resources. It's an example of optimizing for the thing you can easily measure, instead of what's truly important.
