The biter pathfinding issues Nilaus is experiencing in his Death World playthrough on YouTube seem pretty rough, I don't have specific knowledge about if fixes to that issue are making it into 1.1, but I hope so.

Generally, I very much enjoy watching other people play Factorio, I myself don't have the time to do it in a way I'd consider "right".
> Mr. Koch threw his weight behind the new movement and its candidates. “We did not create the tea party. We shared their concern about unsustainable government spending, and we supported some tea-party groups on that issue,” Mr. Koch wrote in an email. “But it seems to me the tea party was largely unsuccessful long-term, given that we’re coming off a Republican administration with the largest government spending in history.”

He's not apologizing for the partisanship, he regrets losing - or at least backing the volatile horse that turned out that he couldn't control.
The analogy is intended to demonstrate that the implied claim that "'my body, my choice' must extend to everything or it's hypocritical" is extreme.

Might have something to do with loss of face perhaps which is an important concept in many asian countries [0]. From my understanding you have to be very careful with criticism in many Asian countries, especially with regards to authority. If someone has higher authority than you (e.g. boss at work) he can generally do no wrong or if he does wrong in some way (e.g. makes bad business deal), you don't confront your boss.

The form of words of an apology is extremely important. The worst form (in my personal opinion) is the qualified apology as in IF I have offended I apologize. It questions the need, it implies that its open to doubt.

I apologize unreservedly is far better.

This is absolutely incorrect. You cannot take a discount as marketing expense and claim the full revenue. That is basic accounting that is not up for interpretation. If done intentionally it’s fraudulent.
Your relationship cannot be determined by this example.

You could be an employee or contractor for uber. In either case driving someone is a service you provide to Uber customers.

I actually agree. My point was just that our opinions are just that: opinions. We did not actually study it in a controlled scientific way.

That's not really true of the first two things I mentioned. These required significant evolution in the DSP/math involved. In 1990, timestretching existed, but generally created artifacts. Polyphonic note editing (as implemented first by Melodyne) didn't exist and wasn't really even imagined.

It is true that they both benefit from more powerful hardware, but these examples required significant advances in software too.
Yeah I go to order a burrito at a local cheap burrito place and it no longer is a "cheap burrito place", then I have to add on the extra fees from DoorDash. It is annoying to me that these delivery companies will take around 30% of the cut from the restaurant, and then also are taking fees from me. Pick one, but don't screw over both sides. I want to support local, but sometimes they are too far for me to be able to get versus a big chain. So I'd like to order delivery, but at the same time I don't feel like it is supporting them when a massive cut is taken out of their profit.
Depends on the timing of the workout, but speaking from personal experience an all day hike is perfect for generating a deep, restful night's sleep.

If you're going to argue that gun homicide and drunk driving are examples that should also be followed here, you are making the analogy between catching a virus and those examples.

Factorio combines all the fun parts of my day job (algorithms, simple maths, tackling solvable problems) with a fairly quick reward cycle.

It has some very fun scaling challenges at every level of play. For anyone interested in trying it out they have a free and feature rich demo available (either through their site or steam).

Questions to ask before accepting a tech job offer
That's pretty much not going to happen. That said, what you can do is:

- Provide a plan that fit within common purchasing card limits/tiers, to enable those who want to bypass the internal controls of their purchasing department and just slip it in on an expense report and be done with it.

- Provide a plan that adds several zeros, to make it worth the hassle when you get a customer that does try to go through the official purchasing department process. This will entail contract reviews, security/compliance certifications/audits, invoicing hassles, ongoing support requests (you will get lots of emails, even for things that could trivially be self-serviced by the client), etc. You'll be sinking lots of labor into this process regardless of the price tag, so make it worth it.

That's a rather bold claim to begin your argument, but there are no references.

There's a good review of related studies here: https://danluu.com/empirical-pl/
"Free market" just means that the prices are determined by the market, not by government-sponsored monopolies, artificial scarcity, regulation, tariffs, restricted information flows between buyer and seller, etc. It is in contrast to England pre-1700-ish where various groups had a monopoly ("patent") to sell goods, also government-imposed tariffs on some goods.

Free market does not mean that the players within the market have liberty other than the price to buy or sell at. So a truly free market under a dictatorship should still act the same way, it's just that dictators have a way of not liking free markets.

One thing I like about Perl is the module system.

A big helper is when the module interface uses named parameters and has sensible defaults for unspecified parameters. This allows the module designer to add features without breaking existing code and makes it easier for someone to integrate the module in the first place. Having the documentation built into the module itself is also a huge win.
>First of all, when I say "Java", I mean OpenJDK; things might be different in the Oracle side of the world.

OpenJDK is the Oracle implementation under a different license. When the Oracle Java team makes code changes, they do so to the OpenJDK code base.

There are very minor differences that are part of the packaging work Oracle does, such as slightly different wording in the copyright statement that's printed with the -v CLI option.

Wait what did I do?
I don't get it. In the west, 1- we ask for tight regulations of banks and financial institutions to prevent them from screwing their creditors and the whole economy; we also 2- lament the corrupt system that prevents the government from applying serious anti-trust rules to companies that have become entirely monopolistic in their behaviour and mindset: Google, Apple, Amazon, etc.

But when China does 1 and addresses 2 with antitrust rules, then we criticise the authoritarian state that stunts economic growth and private entrepreneurship...
Would it have cost more than 200 million to treat all of the California Uber employees as full time employees (ergo, to do what Uber didn't want to do so badly they got a ballot initiative).

I voted no on this because Uber can deal with it. I bet the costs to them from following through would have been less than 200 million...

communism discards almost all the signalling systems (market signals) so relatively quickly comes off the rails.

Raw capitalism tries to do the same of course (monopoly and control) as the signalling systems provide information to new entrants / competitors. That is one of the most important externalities governments need to address.
Sure, I was abstracting "Eat less" to mean "Be at a caloric deficit", which is the only requirement for weight loss. Exercising more obviously meets that criteria as well.
I have faced this issue on and off. My wife and kids tell me that I snore. This happens when i get overweight. I have been having difficulty in keeping the weight off. After losing weight, I get it back after few weeks. But yes, i stop snoring when i lose weight. I don’t know what the connection is between weight and snoring is.

The best course of action in public apology that includes potential mobs running rampant is to wait.

If possible, do not immediately make any statement and if in a organization, make an "we are investigating" response. Most mobs are moved by emotions and herd mentality so just being silent for a while can disperse the worst of the mobs.

Make an thorough apology (like the guideline here) later.

Most internet mobs just move on to the next totem pole to burn in days so this seems to work (and is indeed how a lot of companies respond if they can't just fire someone and get over it)

A real mob, such as campus students can be a bit more troublesome.
It starts as a gross value and after taxes, ei/old age is taken out it becomes a much smaller net value.
In the age of social media I would suggest a different approach to addressing public mistakes.

1. Go silent.

> Complete public blackout. No denying, no accepting. The people want retribution, not justice. The media blackout is essential.

2. Reflect on it privately and quietly.

3. If not in violation of #1, apologize to the individual people/entity affected in private.

4. Once the mob dissipates, address the issue publically in long form.

> It is very important that it be a boring, long and solemn take on the mistake. Blog, interview, podcast, whatever.

5. Don't blame. period.

6. Set a roadmap to rehabilitation/mitigation.

7. Actually follow #6
This makes me think, it is opposite to what mostly is used in open source projects that have bugtrackers. Github is filled with countless 'mistakes' (issues/pr's) people made in the code they published. Should there be some kind of way to make issues private?

Before I was into open source I was always afraid to show my code to anyone because of the critique I could expect. But some coworkers helped me get the confidence I needed to go open source (within the company, not public internet). Being completely open about everything and accepting critique publicly really helped me grow as a developer to also be open to others. I wonder if I would have made the same transformation if I was only critiqued in private.

Trump was not prevented access to court. He and his prior are however not allowed to make public claims about fraud unopposed. The patience you suggest would lead to public that hears what he says, but does not hear about claims being bogus.

The kind of pacification you call about is not something Trump or republican party awarded to anyone last 4 years. They enjoyed to trigger libtards. There was no patience I could detect.

What you suggest does not work, because it demands one side to follow norms that other side does not have to follow.

> On a quarterly basis, our revenue increased for all quarters presented as a result of increases in Total Orders. The increase in Total Orders was primarily driven by an increase in new consumers acquired as a result of our continued expansion in our existing markets and expansion into new markets, increased engagement from existing consumers, and growth in orders completed through Drive. In the second and third quarters of 2020, these trends accelerated in part due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in in-store dining shutdowns and the adoption of shelter-in-place measures.

The pandemic has helped DoorDash. There's an increase of revenue from $362M 31.03.2020 to $879M 30.09.2020 (p128). This has also led to an increase in Working Capital $1156M at 30.09.20 from $616M (31.12.2019).

What changed is that the very things capable of eliciting interest in programming also offer overpowering content consumption functions with huge, never ending catalogs of games, movies, videos, short funny clips etc.

As computing and "content" proliferate, the uncompetitiveness of creation, esp. symbolic creation such as programming, is increasing. At some point, broadening of the access no longer offsets this effect, and the talent pool may start to shrink even if capability and permeation is a million times higher than it was.

Let's pretend for a minute that you have a conscience and feel bad about the effects of the mistake---not just the effects of having the mistake discovered. What if you have harmed someone you cared about? Would you still apply the strategy you are advocating?

Perhaps apologies do "serve as a license for the mob to further punish". Even so, what is the result to your life or to an organization of doing what you suggest?
You're mixing two different arguments together. Calories in/out is the only requirement for weight loss. Calories in/out is a percentage of the overall picture we define as "health".

To lose weight, you only have to be at a caloric deficit. You can eat _only_ three cupcakes a day and probably lose weight (unless they're kinda insane cupcakes). If you only eat 3 cupcakes a day and nothing else, you will be malnourished and nutrient deficient, which I would extend to mean "unhealthy", but you will lose weight.
> But power corrupts absolutely ...

Even accounting for the misquote (no hate :) I disagree. History furnishes us with examples aplenty of people who were powerful yet uncorrupted. I believe Frank Herbert was closer to the truth when he wrote:

> “All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.”

You don't really need the secure enclave for this since it's the kernel doing the enforcement. I'm sure Apple considered syncing, since it's hard to implement something and not even glance at the other solutions on the market. My guess is

* They expect the database to be too large to practically fit on every device. If this is really going to be literally every program or script ever run on macOS then that's gonna be huge.

* They don't want to deal with "virus definitions out of date" issues or "please update your AV" in response to an incident.

* They want to be able to revoke a malicious program immediately and not worry about cache expirations which is why the cache is only used when it's really really offline.

No, you're trying to elevate some flaky security feature to a debate about human rights. It's not particularly meaningful or conducive to any kind of insight because once you make that jump, you just get to fulminate endlessly about principles and oppression. It's like starting to recite the Universal Declaration of Human Rights every time you stub your toe instead of just saying 'shit!' and thinking about maybe moving that table out of the way.

I think attributing all of the benefits to weight loss seems a bit rushed to me.

At the same time you lost weight you also improved the quality of your diet and started exercising. Any of those can be a factor to any of the improvements, and for some of them the weight loss it self may not even play a role.

why care about "popular" music at all?

Yesterday on youtube I watched two hour+ live concerts, both made available by the lead artist (Dhafer Youssef). The first was a more jazz inflected performance (not suprising given Mark Guiliana and Chris Jennings as the rhythm section), the second was more "world music" (also not suprising with Zakir Hussain on tabla and Husnu Selendecir on clarinet). Both featured Youssef playing oud and singing in his incredible melismatic style. One was recorded in 2014, one in 2106.

The music was utterly incredible. Virtuosic performances of the highest levels, astonishing compositional and improvisational music structures. And amazing sound quality (though sadly one was marred a little by clipping).

You don't have to like this particular music. Just stop focusing on "popular music", which has ALWAYS been dominated by dreck of one sort of another. Remember that there is (and often always has been) a huge universe of incredible music out there from cultures around the world, reflecting both tradition and experimentation, skill and inspiration, solo brilliance and music collaboration, virtuosity and taste.

Lamenting what the kids are doing with Ableton Live or FL Studio when you can watch Dhafer Youssef play live for 2+ hours with Tigran Hamasayan, Mark Guiliana, Zakir Hussain (or whatever floats your boat) is just wasting your time and your life!
