The actual lived conditions matter, too. In the 1950s, Black Americans were harassed, beaten and killed for registering to vote; no such discrimination against Christians has ever existed in the US, or even in North America or Europe, where the games we're talking about are largely developed and marketed.

I agree that Christians are sometimes treated more critically in popular culture. But this is simply criticizing those in positions of power. It's hard to argue that ethnic or other minorities enjoy those levels of power in any of the places these games are made or marketed.

To quote a certain comedian: "Christians won the world. The Christians won everything. If you don't believe me, let me ask you a question. What year is it?"

> but if the setting is the middle Ages it would be just stupid and lazy -- UNLESS there is some effort to bring some lore into it.

The article we're commenting on does make the point that people of African / Asian descent being present in middle-ages Europe isn't unreasonable:

"I will say that, as travelers and traders, it is not crazy that people with these backgrounds might be in England, even in the ninth century. The decision to include so many characters from Asia and so few from Africa is a bit more frustrating; I’d expect to see a lot more North Africans in 9th century England than either Middle Eastern or East/Central Asian characters (because it is closer, as a matter of trade-routes)."

The article's quibble is mostly with it concentrating them into your settlement, rather than around pre-existing trade hubs.

It's still a stretch to have a randomly diverse community... but the "historically accurate black African representation" is probably enough that you don't have to work at explaining a minority of diverse characters.
Have been using the Free Forever plan and it's solid! They've made a lot of UI changes to streamline the whole process. Nice to have it auto scheduled with a report of changes every month.

The physical layer for eMMC is SDIO- the same is used for SD cards, at least if you want more than ~ a megabyte/s of interface bandwidth.

IIRC the layers above SDIO are slightly different for eMMC and SD(HC), but generally SoCs that have SDIO interface support both types of memory.
I have been playing with a Raspberry 400 for couple of days now. I thought of recommend it for my nephew, but couldn't do it because of the following drawbacks.

2. Unable to run Zoom reliably

Given that schools are closed (at least in India) and classes are happening over zoom, these two drawbacks makes it a no-go for my use case.

What is a first-person shooter? I's a game in which you have a camera viewport onto a world. Your own character is not visible; you are looking from he eye of that character. Moreover, you have some projectile-hurling weapon that throws "into the screen" direction.

The first-person shooter games were tank games like Battlezone (Atari, 1980).

Catacombs probably pioneered the first-person-shooter that takes place in a 2.5D labyrinth with ray-cast textures.

That itself was preceded by third-person-in-2.5-D-maze shooters like Xybots (Atari, 1987) which could almost be first-person with small modifications.

Also by first-person "dungeon crawler" games like Dungeonmaster (1988).

You might want to consider at least a minimum of redundancy, like a RAID 5 (lets you lose 1 drive without killing the whole setup).

I'm not an anti-vaxxer in any shape or form but I have found a major flaw in our medical system through my own struggles. I was given a flouroquinolone antibiotic about 8 years ago and it really had a huge negative impact on my health. It resulted in chronic pain and some neurological issues. Neurological issues where instant, but pain took a few months to start. Even though the current research and drug information align with most of my symptoms doctors refuse to even entertain the idea. I have been to Mayo, Rush, Northshore, etc. Out of 40+ doctors one confirmed it and 2nd agrees it is possible.

I have met numerous people over the year receiving diagnosis of fibro, CFS, tendonitis without any reports from doctors to the FDA. Most negative reports are made by patients who researched it. This is extremely dangerous. I have met pharmacist who suffered from the same problems but still their colleagues would label them crazy.

I will let others test the vaccine in the real world before taking it myself.
> I assure you, Christians are aware of how poorly they're portrayed by the media, and aren't happy about it. It seems to me that this is one of many factors that led many Christians to support Trump.

Coil Incident Report on Email Leak
While it should not be inherently required, in practice it is. When not jailbroken the only people you can assume within reason to break your privacy/security are Apple (due to bugs or bad design) and Nation States. Apps, both private and on the store, do only what is allowed (which for instance, before iOS 14 was far looser re clipboard, microphone, camera, and location).

The option of installing a root cert now requires users to refuse to install root certs at work or for some App required to get cheaper insurance or whatever crazy idea you could think of. Users would need to know what is possible (at that point anything) and also have the power and incentives to refuse.

I could 100% agree if things were gone for good, you know, like in real life. But the idea that what was meant for the public is no stowed away in a company silo and can be used, deleted or republished at their discretion rubs me the wrong way. Not that I would ever have posted something atrocious, but the idea that a company knows more about what I said than myself is deeply unsettling to me.

If it runs for a while without issues, it'll probably be good long term. But I would do an economics check: At that age, the power efficiency is likely terrible compared to modern parts, and replacing it could pay off quite quickly.

Yes. No problems, ever.
It's not just the small volume. Having worked on a number of ASIC + eval-board combos, there are several issues:

1) Eval board design typically begins before the ASIC design is finished. This means eval boards are frequently subject to last-minute design changes (because something in the ASIC changed) and/or intense schedule pressure for the design to be completed and the boards manufactured between the ASIC design freeze and when the ASIC comes back from the fab. Last minute design changes and high schedule pressure are not conducive to high-quality engineering.

2) Eval boards frequently have multiple purposes. The primary focus of an "eval" board is likely to be test platform for the ASIC, and customer evaluation is a secondary goal at best. As an external customer of the eval board, you're not even the _primary_ customer - the primary customer is the internal testing team. If "easy for the test team to use" and "easy for an outside customer to use" ever come into conflict, the test team is going to win.

2b) Because eval board's real target customer is a team within the company that has access to the ASIC documentation, preparing external documentation is a low priority. And since eval boards can indirectly expose embarrasing bugs in the ASIC, design secrets, etc., the external documentation is either heavily redacted, gated by onerous NDAs, or both.

3) Eval boards aren't the product - the product is the ASIC - and selling eval boards is rarely profitable on net, so there's pressure to keep the costs down. In the same vein, the PCB team for a semiconductor company is considered lower status within the ASIC company (if they're even part of the company and not contractors or an outside design house, which is also very common). This doesn't mean they're less skilled, necessarily, but it does mean they have fewer resources and less influence within the company, so "eval board" issues are going to be low priority.

3b) Because eval boards are a net loss, the incentive to go back and clean up any issues caused (1) and (2) is low to non-existent.

4) Because the eval boards _never_ go to high volume production, the eval board design team frequently has no experience or motivation to do proper DFM (design for manufacturing) or DFT (design for test) on their PCBs. Assembly is frequently manual because the volumes are too low to justify setting up (and debugging) an automated assembly line, leading to high product variability.

> No companies on HerJobs are hiring based on gender or country.

If that's true, then why would these companies be on HerJobs (a platform which - as far as I can tell - seems to be designed specifically to facilitate hiring based on gender or country)?

I definitely agree that we need more diversified pipelines, but I don't agree that creating a restricted pipeline is the way to go about it; this seems more likely to be used as a means to get token women of color on teams for diversity points than anything. It seems more patronizing than anything - like women from emerging countries are somehow fundamentally unable to stand out in existing pipelines and thus need their own pipeline. A less patronizing solution would be to figure out why women from emerging countries are underrepresented in existing pipelines and address those factors there.

As it stands, I'm getting a strong "binders full of women" vibe from this, especially since I know full well that your average company will use it exactly in that way: to check off diversity boxes and make it look like they're "woke" as a substitute for actually-meaningful workplace gender/ethnic reform.

I wish y'all the best of luck, because this is definitely a problem worth solving; I just don't feel like this is the right way to go about it, or at the very least that it needs some refinement and adjustment to avoid doing more harm than good.

I've been playing the game and was thinking last night that statement is (to me) an anachronism: it made sense in the first game where it was clearly dealing with the Middle East and choices made for the sake of a more playable game may have come across as culturally insensitive and started problems online. It felt a lot less likely people in the current world would be upset at or read deeply into the depictions of old Norse and Saxons, but it looks like I was wrong.

I would suggest, as the author seems to propose but not allow, many of the issues are there for the sake of game play: I am currently using a flail and questioning my choice every time I get whacked because the thing takes a week and a half to pull start. But it's the strongest one-handed weapon currently available to me. So it makes for interesting tradeoffs in a way "axe v sword" might not.

A similar case could be made for fudging the details about sexual equality among the old Norse. I doubt anyone is watching the game imagining Vikings were tender and considerate self-reflective modern males; it just makes the story flow better than having to watch a cut scene of 10 dudes throwing food at each other in conference.

The whole point of FFI is that it's a lowest common denominator - it's a foreign function interface, meant for interop between two potentially wildly different runtimes, up to and including assembly language. That means it can't rely on quirks like language-specific type information or bounds checking. The only thing that all runtimes on a machine are guaranteed to have in common is that they use the same set of memory and CPU registers, so that is all that FFI can use to define subroutine interfaces. Hence terms like 'ABI', 'calling convention' and 'memory layout'.

The good news is that whatever issue you have can probably be solved without resorting to FFI. There are plenty of other interop options - for example, if you control the library, you can use your operating system's IPC mechanisms with an agreed-upon serialization format. Or, if your library and application are within the same ecosystem, you can use language-specific library management features such as Python's import or Rust's crates. FFI is a bit like C itself - if you're reaching for it as a solution to your problem, then your finger is already on the trigger of the footgun.
Yes, now you ask the company you are trying to use the services of to allow your application to be a valid authentication agent of. Since when doesn't it make sense to ask to tie in your app when it's to be used with a different service when you care about that?

This is for login to a Google account, just plain searching on google.com or viewing a video on Youtube. We can complain about web standards all we want, but this isn't access to the open web we're talking about here, it's access to Google's service ecosystem that requires a Google account, and them gating that however they want is their prerogative.
