Everyone in Australia uses "SA" - this is one of the reasons why location based context is important.

I worked on consumer search for a few years, and on text based search word like "for" are helpful to get exact match. Even if the term frequency of "for" on its own isn't particularly useful "for SA" absolutely is. (And these days with neural ranking using sub-word parts it is even more useful).

FWIW, back in 2017 Venkatesh Rao looked at the distractions going on in the world and criticised 'deep work' in the process: https://breakingsmart.substack.com/p/life-in-the-time-of-cho...

"17/ In more sanguine times, this is easy in theory. You just log off from Facebook and Twitter, and put your head down and do what people like Cal Newport call “deep work.”

18/ I personally don’t believe in the idea of unplugging for "productivity" even in sanguine times, but in choleric times, it is a recipe for doing tone-deaf projects nobody cares about.

19/ Unless you work in pure mathematics or physics (and perhaps even then), your work is capable of creating meaning only if it is responsive to, and consciously situated in, its social milieu."
I recommend RAW+JPEG.

I hate editing RAW files, but in 30 years, I'll still have them and might have a use for them. In 300 years, my ancestors will have them. Seems like image processing algorithms might advance by then.

I once reran my photos from the early '00s through a modern raw processor, and the difference was night-and-day. No tweaking, no nothing. Just modern versus ancient noise reduction, color algorithms, etc.

Disk space is cheap enough.
That's a 404.

"Digital analysis using Benford’s Law was also used as evidence of voter fraud in the 2009 Iranian election. In fact, Benford’s Law is legally admissible as evidence in the US in criminal cases at the federal, state and local levels. This fact alone substantiates the potential usefulness of using Benford’s Law."

There is an ongoing legal battle between Epic and Apple that may have an impact on any public communications they do regarding the engine and Apple platforms. Other than that, Unreal already builds to ARM so it doesn’t seem like a stretch to expect it, from a technical perspective.
It still doesn't make sense for MS to push ARM that way - Apple isn't offering its ARM processors to 3rd parties. The best non-Apple processors are obviously x86 right now.

2. Do your own support. This is easy; when you're small, there's nobody else to do it. Use chat-type support apps like intercom so that every interaction is a conversation.

Just a second though, betting markets are intrinsically subject to manipulation! Both in the markets themselves and in the world that the gamblers are purportedly "observing". The betters have active agency in the world they are betting on. The only thing stopping people who participate in these "markets" from manipulating outcomes in unethical, coercive ways is: nothing at all. The betting markets only serve to raise the stakes and create a medium for perverse incentives to play out. So yeah, in some cases or might be more "accurate", but what about the risks? At what cost?
If you're good at getting things done you just get more BS work. The most successful people I know do the bare minimum of regular work and concentrate on doing what they really want.
Real color eink is a hack too.

I'll add on that it is tough to find someone who is a great writer and a great engineer early on in their careers. You just haven't had a lot of time to practice both. When you're looking for junior candidates, they will often fall into two camps: they'll write too much, or they'll write too little.

If you're the candidate: err on the side of writing too much.

If you're the manager: writing too much is considerably easier to fix than writing too little.
I only heard about SCRUM (to do / doing / done board) about a year ago, but it is my main go-to framework for productivity now. It let's you chalk up simple or very complex tasks and gives you an instant visual of where they are in terms of completion. You can do it digitally, but I prefer a physical board in my workspace. It let's me complete offload the anxiety that's mentioned in the article about trying to juggle/remember/prioritise tasks.
I may not have been clear about it in my previous post but for "who will win the popular vote" I'm most incredulous about today's prices, not the ones from election night. Back then there was uncertainty, but now there's no way Trump wins the popular vote unless all of the voter fraud conspiracies are true.

Even if something awful happens and Biden isn't able to take office, he'll still win the popular vote. I think betting size limits are the main issue, combined with people betting against Trump diffusing their bets in correlated markets.

It doesn't work for formulaic data. It has already been used to prove fraud in Iranian elections.
It is legally admissible in court of law. It was also only 1/4 of my argument. Dr.Shivas analysis isn't covering Benford's Law. It's a completely different vector of analysis that shows weighted anamolies indicating algorithmic manipulation of the presidential choice as a function of a precinct's straight party Republican vote. Watch his video to see.

Source on Benford's:
https://www.isaca.org/resources/isaca-journal/past-issues/20...

Finally, I'd like to argue that Benford's should be used to trigger an automatic audit of that precinct or district. If there's no fraud then the audit should show that to be the case, and we can dismiss Benford's as an election fraud detection technique if enough false flags are proven. So, let's be scientists about this theory and test it rather than dismiss it.

First, I read David Allen's book and liked it. I will point out that although valuable, it is not easy reading. for example:

"To lead an effective life, we need to be able to make things happen -- to engage with our world so it will supply us with the experiences and results we seek."

That's the first sentence of the book and seems like something an engineer would write.

So, I sort-of-implemented GTD a few times over the years.

One thing Allen said is that is VERY true is that you need a trusted system to put everything into.

I've been using Omnifocus since it came out and it works well. I can put everything in it - and I do.

It is macos/ios based and you can self-host your data with webdav. (awesome, omni folks!)

Yet I probably do NOT implement getting things done correctly.

Omnifocus is sort of like a giant outline where you can arrange your life in a big tree structure, then look it up by context or just search it.

I would say that 90% of the stuff I put into the system is over-categorized but really languishes and is not used.

The other 10% is critical to my life.

I go to the grocery store and remember the 20 things I needed to get.

I go to my doctor for my annual checkup and have a list of questions.

I have a time-crunch project and as I'm working on part 1, ideas for part 2 or part 3 are recorded and removed from my head and I continue.

and nothing is forgotten.

You can't force their DKIM signatures to be good forever either. You're basing some sense of security on a cryptographic property that simply isn't true. Would the world be worse off if you couldn't rely on DKIM signatures indefinitely? I don't know, are we worse off? Because whether you accept it or not, that's the exact situation we're in now.

You would have to elaborate on why Benford's law being applicable to one election makes it applicable in another. If the distribution of Iranian electors doesn't exhibit the stated limitation, then it makes sense why Benford's law would apply in that case but not in the 2020 US case.
However you want to trash them, the fact is that they maintain 3 of the top 20 games viewed on Twitch at this moment.
My feeling is that GTD is powerful for its stated goal but provides limited guidance on prioritization (among my personal weaknesses). It is a tool in the toolbox, but not a holistic approach.

The notion that you can offload cognitive load to an organized system, a tenet of GTD, is really essential for me.

> You'll have to sign some kind of agreement that the created product is yours. Consult a lawyer. Copyright covers code and is nearly free. Patents are more work, more cost, but should protect the idea. Generally, it's not worth protecting if you have an advantage.

Outsourcing is something you do when you have a lot of money and want to convert that into code. Like a hundred thousand dollars lying around and no idea where to put it.

Your product will cost you more than you expect and be much longer. One hint of a startup being doomed is when they have profile pics or Facebook login where it's unnecessary. There's a substantial cost to front end, back end, hosting, maintenance. You want to brutally cut out all unnecessary features. Assume that every button will cost you $50-$200. Rounding the images will cost you $50-$200. When you do something, there's the design, development, testing, iteration, project management cost.

No, definitely not. I live in an authoritarian country in Asia and I can assure you that isn't the case. So your claim seems to founder immediately when put to the test and there is almost certainly another explanation at work.

Overwatch is a very popular ISP for Blizzard. All my friends "needed" to buy this $70 AUD game, in a time when games like CS:GO ($15), League of Legends, and Dota were very popular and most of them F2P.

How often was a ship shot from under the waterline before torpedos or in the middle of the deck before dive bombers? If I were taking lessons from history, advances in naval technology have nullified or neutered entire fleets over less.

To your actual question, if you look at the Battle of Midway at least the Akagi was fatally struck on the deck — carriers today are significantly more advanced in both technology as well as doctrine than those, though.

> What does Apple silicon mean for the future of gaming on Apple hardware?

It is definitely the death of gaming as we know it on PCs.

Blizzard didn't bother porting Overwatch to macOS, their latest engine, and even that game was released in 2016. They ported to the PS4. It's just too small of a market.

Nintendo Switch level games should port fine, many are developed on cross platform engines like Unity that already support Metal on iOS. However Switch games sell for $50+, already higher than PC or macOS titles, so it's usually pretty bad economics - you'd rather the user buy on their Switch than their Mac.
Well, I am in PDX, so....
Correct. Just installed it on my Intel Mac running Big Sur (had to put it in my home directory; I already had non-beta Firefox in /Applications):

You're probably correct, but do you think it's outright impossible to develop such a defense? What if we increase the stockpile of anti-ballistic missiles or continue to fund R&D?

As a sibling post to yours points out, effective anti-ballistic missile defense against a state such as Russia or China ruins the MAD strategy and might lead to interesting game play.

For Unreal and Unity-based games at least, ARM MacOS will be more or less just another compile target. For less-popular licensed engines or in-house ones, MacOS was never all that popular to begin with, so I think Apple Silicon may actually not represent that big of a change for Mac gaming.

As another comment mentions, there is the iOS to MacOS pipeline, but given that a large proportion of these are already Unity-based, the fact that MacOS now shares an architecture with iOS may prove largely incidental.

In fairness, the only real moneymakers from that list are Overwatch and Hearthstone. We could maybe add WoW to that list due to the die hard players still paying a subscription (if that's still a thing?) but Warcraft, Diablo and Starcraft and basically hibernating IPs at this point. None of those hibernating IPs have seen any major movement or releases in _many_ years. Starcraft is still viable as it's considered to be a mainstay of completive RTS (and therefore great for branding of Blizzard in general) but I don't think it's earning them buckets of money.

So we're down to 2 properties making the majority of earnings, both on Free to Play but not Pay to Win models. That model has a very distinct shelf life of, I'd say, 5 years before you need to either release a sequel or change it up with a new IP.

I think one of the other reasons is that Apple designed their own cpus. And put a lot of effort in. Microsoft just grabbed some off the shelf stuff for the surface. So it’s not even close in terms of performance.
