Apple chose to silently degrade the performance of their device, which would lead customers to think that their device wasn't capable of keeping up anymore, rather than that they just needed to change the battery. My guess is that they made a good portion of $113M from this (it's best for customers to drain their bank accounts) so no need to cry for them.

edit: and I'm reading that this would happen within the warranty period. It's best for customers to keep them from getting their device fixed during the warranty period.
>The purchasing power is the property of the money received, it is exactly the same in all cases.

That's nonsensical. You can trivially find examples of where the same goods cost different prices in different locations.

Here's a really simple example. $5.79 will buy you a McDonald's Sausage Egg McMuffin meal in Montgomery AL. The same menu item is $6.71 in Los Angeles CA.

The same money has less power to buy goods and services in Los Angeles than it does in Montgomery. You know this intuitively; the same way you know that a gallon of milk is more expensive in New York City than it is in Madison.

I don't know why you're tying yourself up in knots to come to the opposite conclusion.

The games industry no longer designs games; They scientifically engineer games to be as addictive and profitable as possible. This process is oblivious to any concept of "fun". Just another thing obsessive capitalism ruins.

Fortunately, the independent games development scene is healthy and booming - it's the easiest time for any given person to make a game than it has ever been in the history of our civilization. Many indies are simply not concerned with making money off of it. It's more of a hobby, a creative endeavour of self-expression, with a chance of fame and fortune.

Of course, not all indies have any idea how to design games, either.

> It's a weird one because the gameplay of that one seems to be focused on kiting.

Kiting works artistically with rocket launchers!

From the older days, it's one of the big reasons teenage me preferred Unreal Tournament over Quake III Arena. In the former, the rockets had a nice exhaust plume and were slow enough that if you were strafing while shooting, you got to see a nice view of a missile in flight[0]. In Q3A, the rockets were just glowing blobs with a small trail behind, rarely giving you nice visuals. I always favored railguns because of a nicer trail.

Serious Sam, back in those days, also had a very nice missile trail visual, and coupled with the outdoor gameplay (giving rockets many seconds of flight), I just loved kiting and unloading rockets at the coalescing piles of enemies.

I understand that. I still don't want to spend the effort to learn APL.

It's like digital cameras that came around. Many users knew how to use film cameras so you made the digital cameras to be mostly like film cameras even if the digital medium would have enabled a very different, much better camera straight out of the box. But the market had invested so much time in this learning how to work with film that you had to do it like that. Path dependency is not just about rigid thinking, it's about using what you have because that saves a lot of resources.

Regarding, .map being all wrong, in Ruby it's not a property of an array, it's a method for enumerables. Array is one type of enumerable, but it works with hashmaps etc. https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.6.5/Enumerable.html
So it's not that non-general. It is noisy (and weird with the pipes) because it's general.
Is Buying a SaaS Business a Good Idea If You’re Not a Developer?
Understanding the tools available to you is key. I admit, I get frustrated as well at the same thing. Not really that people don't know it, but the fact that they choose to actively not learn it. The same thing goes for the command line with me. People look at me and wonder how I can do things so quickly and effortlessly. When I tell them I have used the tools available at my disposal, they look at me with a puzzled expression like "It's too much work." Few people get that I am not better at my job because I'm smart. I'm better because I have more time to focus on important things, because I spend so much less time on menial operations.

Right.

But tidal forces are not completely irrelevant to leap seconds.

The length of the atomic SI second was calibrated to match the previous sidereal second, which was based on the length of a year. In practical terms, the sidereal second was based on Newcomb’s Tables of the Sun, which was a model of the solar system developed at the end of the 1800s based on historical astronomical observations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcomb%27s_Tables_of_the_Sun

So the length of the second is based on the length of the year 1900, and derived from older astronomical measurements of the rate of movement of bodies in the solar system.

Leap seconds exist because by the 1960s the length of day no longer matched Newcomb’s calculations for 1900: it was longer by 1 or 2 milliseconds.

I doubt it's worth anywhere near a million pounds, but the article does say that the buyer immediately resold it to a collector, so I suspect it could have been worth considerably more than the $16 000 he got.
That's awful if true. I guess technically the headline is still correct if you're talking about a millionaire in Rupiah terms (but 1 million Rupiah is only about USD 70). So is the man who became a millionaire (in dollar terms) the collector from the USA?
Honestly, I don't buy it. It might be the case if you are trying to target IE9, but "we've been trying it over a decade" is no longer an excuse in 2020 when there are only 2-3 relevant browser engines and all of them are reasonably up to spec.

Also, it's not a matter of strictly separating the groups of people doing one task or another. It's a matter of being able to extend in one dimension while keeping the other untouched.

> They're too intertwined and CSS alone isn't powerful enough to do everything you want.

I'd argue that is precisely backwards. The reason that we don't see any more different designs and more bold experiments is because we are not defining the interaction points between different layers in the development stack.

If most developers keep this mentality that all they need to do is to get a system that solves their immediate problems and solves their own unique solution, then all they are going to do is this mushing together of their structure and their presentation layers, and all we are going to get is a pile architectures are going to converge to different local maxima. If instead we don't take the easy way out and make things with flexibility and extensibility in mind, then the likelihood of it becoming the basis of something ground-breaking grows enormously.

That's absolutely arbitrary too. The tree of life is a lie.

...or at least a very simplified model that breaks down as you move towards simpler and simpler forms of life. That's because horizontal gene transfer is a thing, and when you go all the way back to prokaryotes, there's so much of it going on that any "tree of life" is a statistical picture that's valid only for a select genetic marker that's used to trace dependencies. Pick a different marker, you'll get an entirely different prokaryotic tree of life.

Life ultimately forms a graph

What about a world where style concerns aren't part of a code review? Style debates provide the superficial appearance of a code review while offering no useful review of security, architecture and intent.

rsync.net is expensive because they are more of a "cold-storage be-all and end-all" data sink. Their backend is AWS, and so the cost reflects that. I might be wrong on this, but I think they use Glacier.

Here, we are pretty much providing a datacenter hookup for your hard-drive. If that hard-drive fails, we can ship it to you for recovery, but that's on you.

The idea for this site is that most people with ZFS pools already have a mirror/RAIDZ setup at home, and would enjoy the peace of mind if they had one-extra data-sink to send their snapshots.

Therefore, true data-loss will occur if:

* Their house burns down

* AND the remote zfs.rent hard drive fails

...all at the same time.

Personally, I live about 20 minutes aways from my parents' house. I have two separate ZPools (one for my place, one for theirs). I sync the two every time I visit.

I wanted an extra cloud machine to sync to once a week or so -- you know, in case Northern California fires really get out-of-hand :/

EDIT:
I went to rsync.net just to double-check. It looks like they are running their own infrastructure now.

Maybe my memory is going haywire, but I swear I remembered reading that they used AWS as their backend.

You talk as if a combination of the training space and user input can't be novel. There are a finite number of colors and textures, so if your data set has good coverage (and your model splits hue and luminosity) you could conceivably cover nearly the entire space. That would leave the shape as the differentiator of novelty.

You're assuming that "math problems" is a well-defined set of problems. But depending on what you want to test/teach, there's also going to be different problems that students will do well on.

As an example: do you consider solving 579×46 quickly a "math problem"? I will solve it (relatively) quickly, since I was thought how to solve that exact problem algorithmicaly.

But if you hadn't thaught that algorithm (you could argue that nowadays we have calculators for this) then it would probably take you a bit longer to derive some form of this algorithm. But it doesn't necessarily imply that you're bad at math, just that you have not practiced this exact task before.

In my experience, doing really well in tests requires more adaption to the tasks of the tests than actual understanding. Most tests are limited on time, and stress does not exactly help you to deal creatively with completely new tasks.

Note that I don't want to say that teaching algorithms is bad. It surely helps to do some basic calculation without having to think much about it. I just want to point out that the tests are often testing a specific understanding of math, and different teaching methods often also differ in their goal of what they want students to learn well.
Nice, though I still prefer the trick for 9 that I was taught:

9: 10x, then subtract once.

I think there is more to this than people usually see. While I agree to those who say that people are being irrationally offended, I see banning of word master as exactly what would a master do.

Not only methods are silly, because it seems a paradox to me that enforcing unfair policies makes happier those who were victims of unfair policy enforcement. (Oh, wait, no paradox here, just human nature), but what concerns me much more is enforcing of US culture. Companies eliminate words master, black, and others like offensive ones, but they may not be offensive in other cultures. Even more, replacements may be even more offensive. Why questionable fear of offending some of 40 million black U.S. people by just using a word, without any intent to offend anyone is enough to enforce some country-specific culture based policy on 7 billion people?

I’ve said it before. Because Apple has that tax the incentive to create an alternative OS is very very high and it needs to be because it’s a monumental task.
So the question is: do you want to be stuck with iOS and Android forever (lower incentives by governmental demands) or do you want to see a new player in the market in a decade or two?
Even if they don't the notarization requirement is a strong first step to at minimum a games console-style licensing program, or further integration with the existing developer program.

It would be nice for Apple to not do this, but if they can keep their ARM chips highly competitive it would be insanely lucrative to do so. Corporations are for-profit entities first and foremost.

>People flipped out when Doom 3 ended up being low light horror game and not a fast paced shooter.

A game can have a creepy aesthetic and even scare people without being a slow paced survival game where you walk around awkwardly pointing at things with a flashlight. The early games had creepy vibes at many different parts of the game. If you disagree to each his own.

> you're an unkillable demigod that's basically dunking on armies of demons

> That is the 100% the core idea of Doom lore.

> But Doom 2016 is quite literally a modernised version of Doom 1.

Not really, here's the final paragraphs to the introduction to Doom 1 from the original manual:

> Things aren't looking too good. You'll never navigate off the planet on your own. Plus, all the heavy weapons have been taken by the assault team leaving you only with a pistol. If only you could get your hands around a plasma rifle or even a shotgun you could take a few down on your way out. Whatever killed your buddies deserves a couple pellets in the forehead. Securing your helmet, you exit the landing pod. Hopefully you can find more substantial firepower somewhere within the station. As you walk through the main entrance of the base, you hear animal-like growls echoing throughout the distant corridors. They know you're here. There's no turning back now.

Yes, he's a highly trained badass, but he's just a Marine. He ends up killing all of the monsters if you finish the game, but the setup and the aesthetic and lore of the entire game makes it seem like an insurmountable challenge ahead of you, just a guy, fighting through hell and later on repelling the hordes of hell from earth.

The art team did a great job replicating doom, the composer did a great job of renewing classic Doom music and merging it with modern takes on the Doom aesthetic, although it is ridiculous that the music is intended to overpower the other sounds in the game.

The gameplay is where they really screwed up IMO. Its a great game but its not authentic old school Doom gameplay. You could modernize it properly, I'm just saying that in my opinion they haven't for the reasons I explained elsewhere. They instead created a new thing that uses the Doom franchise and it just happens to be fantastic. As great as it is though I would rather have had a well executed modern take that also feels authentic.
