Which (to me) raises the question: did you get a top 500 spot for being that good, or for being that persistent?

I mean I've casually played some CoD Mobile, it's crappy but I enjoy it well enough. Did some ranked games, and within just ten or so matches the blurb came up saying I "beat" 70% of the players. I'm fairly sure that just means there's a very long tail of players who haven't played as much. I'm sure I could get top 10 or even 1% if I just play more often, moreso than if I get good at the game (because I like to think I'm very middle of the road, and / or that other players are bad because they're 8 years old).

I get it, but besides making it easy, FB made online communities worse. They have absurd limitations that you only realize once you're in too deep. For whatever reason, for example, nudity is banned even in private groups on FB, so several photography groups I know are trying to go back to forums and blogs, but can't migrate their content, nor get most people to cooperate, so many of them are juggling multiple FB accounts because they keep getting temp-banned (and I'm not talking porn here - these are actual photographers that are regularly featured in big galleries).

There was also a game dev group that died out because FB kept flagging their users for spam. Turns out posting executables makes it think you're spamming viruses, even though it's just a gane prototype you want feedback on.

Finally, the quality of discussion is worse no matter what the content is, as FB forces the post>comments relationship, with comments being way less visible and usable than a top-level post.

And this isn't just one grumpy programmer screaming into the void - I only know about that because friends and relatives (from young to quite old) keep complaining to me and asking me for workaround to these limitations. Of course, the answer "just use something other than FB" is rarely accepted.
That's a distinction without a difference though.
Maybe I'm an optimist but my guess is that as these companies begin to try harder to please shareholders (like the recent increase of YouTube ads), the walled gardens will become less attractive.

Walled gardens aren't even something new, AOL was a walled garden example from the 90s and people moved on quickly to a more open web.

What we need to ensure is that the open web is still technically feasible. I guess CDNs are not that important if your site isn't bloated, but it is a worrying trend.

I was going to comment on how can I finally code the games whose source code was listed in the books published by Usborne (or Editorial Plesa for Spanish-speaking folks). Urborne had this books hosted in their website, but the links have expired and no mention of the books is anywhere in their website. Internet Archive comes to the rescue: https://archive.org/details/vgmuseum_usborne-hayes_weirdgame...

Anyway, as someone who had a PC and GWBASIC or Microsoft QBASIC it was weird for me that these books mentioned all these platforms which I couldn't find anywhere around my small place in the world. Maybe now I can now run these as the author intended.
Thanks. I hope so, too.

Good luck to you ..

Those numbers actually make the AWS instances a shoo-in for my current development purposes.

The cost of housing and managing a unit of hardware is nonzero. Actuals vary wildly by location, purposes, and sector; but if everyone can get their heads out of the hobbyist-tinkerer mindset for a moment and consider that lifetime TCO is a real and meaningful consideration for businesses, then the component that isn't buying/leasing the server itself is typically several hundred dollars, per physical unit, per annum. Public clouds don't nullify all of it, but they swing the needle dramatically.

Since my duty cycle for a Mac Mini is rather less than 20%, the economics even of on-demand instances immediately make sense, and having it inside the VPC boundary without hybridising is gravy on the meat since I'm consuming several other AWS services besides.

These two factors (lifetime TCO and scale-down) are the economic foundation of the value proposition of utility computing. The "I can build that in my garage for cheaper" crew aren't wrong, but they're missing the point.

Putting on my sometime cloud infrastructure product manager's hat, long-term observers of service pricing may also observe the common enough pattern of starting a new product with a relatively high price, one that selects for early adopters and other price-insensitive (and, you hope, glitch/MVP-tolerant) customer segments, then gradually ratcheting prices down in order to estimate (amongst other things) the price elasticity of demand. It's naturally easier to get cheaper over time, than go the other way. In this AWS's position on compute is congruent to any other commodity merchant⁽¹⁾ with the luxury of being able to withstand potential losses on a single product line. For most EC2 instance types I'd expect they have a very good model of the price sensitivities, but mac1 is undoubtedly a unique platform with elevated uncertainty in the price parameters.

Which is my long-winded way of saying, it'll likely be cheaper in a few months.

As I recall, their anti-Trump article relied on claims about Covid and the global response to it that were both very obviously untrue and being pushed by the mainstream media as indisputable scientifc fact that was beyond debate for, in part at least, partisan political reasons.

Like your parent said, the difference is the tendency for COVID-19 to eat up all health care capacity.

Appendicitis? Stroke? Car accident? Sorry, the hospital is full of COVID patients, we can't take you in. Go home, lie down, see if it gets better.

This is the scenario we're trying to avoid. If the flu would do that, we'd have lockdowns for it too.

Wait, what?

Any old php forum has a much better UI (faster, easier to read) than reddit's.
Bro, the exact website you quoted (not same page) has an entire section of information about melanin, ethnic groups, and vitamin D:

What is my skin type?
Skin types that are more sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) radiation burn more quickly and are at a greater risk of skin cancer.

All skin types can be damaged by too much UV radiation. Skin types that are more sensitive to UV radiation burn more quickly and are at a greater risk of skin cancer.

People with naturally very dark skin (usually skin type V or VI) still need to take care in the sun even though they may rarely, if ever, get sunburnt. The larger amount of melanin in very dark skin provides natural protection from UV radiation. This means the risk of skin cancer is lower.

Eye damage can occur regardless of skin type. High levels of UV radiation have also been linked to harmful effects on the immune system.

Vitamin D deficiency may be a greater health concern for people with naturally very dark skin, as it is more difficult for people with this skin type to make vitamin D.

Do you actually use reddit? It's an extremely cancerous experience on mobile, they actively work on making the ui as inconvenient as possible. Every iteration of reddits ui is even slower than the last one, which I consider quite an achievement considering how slow it was months ago already.

Reddit also has the "gold" thing going which is probably not what you'd want for your own forum, where some users are more equal than others because they paid money to an entity you have a questionable relationship with.

Unrelated: Google's results decline in quality because google values engagement more than quality. It's been like this for years. When you are the monopoly, you can easily trade quality for more money without negative consequences.

Statistically, for kids, the dominant causes of death are car accidents and drowning. The rest you can pretty much not worry about. Another way to look at it is if you read about it in the paper, it is rare enough you don't need to worry about it.

I actually love the basic McDonald's hamburger as a snack. It's just in a much different category than a nice burger.

I also like to check out McDonald's in different countries. Sometimes in Japan you can get an Idaho burger, which has a hashbrown patty. And sometimes they have an "adult creampie" dessert (yikes). Indian McDonald's has masala chicken and veggie burgers, and Israeli McDonald's has $15 giant gourmet burgers.
On the positive side, the people who are enjoying the walled gardens are probably not the people who would've participated in the open web with much positive outcome anyway.

That's a false dichotomy. It's not a choice between "open and hard to participate in" versus "closed but user friendly". There's no reason why the web can't be open and cater for users who want to have easy-to-use and enjoyable experiences like Facebook and YouTube. The only thing necessary for that to happen is for companies like Facebook and Google to make it possible to connect with things outside of their sites in meaningful ways.

My understanding is that the LPDDR4x chips cost less per GB than the random chips you find in the common dimms. There's also costs (board space, part cost, motherboard layers, and layout complexity) for dimm slots.

Sure manufacturers might try to charge significantly more than market price for on the motherboard RAM, but it's an opportunity to increase their profit margin and ASP. Random 2x16GB dimms on newegg cost $150 per 32GB. Apparently LPDDR are easier to route to, require less power, and cost less for the same amount of ram. I'd happy pay $500 for a motherboard with 64GB of LPDDR4x-4266. Seems like Asus, Gigabyte, Tyan, Supermicro and friends would MUCH rather sell a $500 motherboard with ram than a $150 motherboard without.

That's the case for almost all programming languages, Python and Erlang (and a few others, like Raku) are the exceptions there. Any language that's made to be at least a little bit performant (C, C++, Rust, Go, Java, C#, and many, many others) works like this.
Furthermore, this article by two Australian academics, published in an outlet considered leftist, is basically about why Australians have such high rates of skin cancer, and includes the quote:

Why us?
Most Australians (and Kiwis) have the wrong type of skin for their environment. Basically, through migration, our two countries have been populated by many people with fair skin whose ancestors come from much less sunny climates. Lack of protective pigmentation leaves skin cells especially vulnerable to the DNA-damaging rays from the sun.

During human evolution, our early hominid ancestors in Africa lost their covering of body hair and developed pigmented skins, presumably as protection against the harsh tropical sun. With subsequent migration out of Africa into Europe, the protective benefits of dark skin became less important for survival and were likely a hindrance to effective vitamin D production. There was selective pressure for less pigmented skin with more distance from the equator.

In contrast, those who migrated out of Africa to Asia, Australia and the islands of Melanesia were constantly exposed to sunlight. So they retained their protective pigmentation. This explains why the recent European migrants to the Americas and Oceania arrived in the “new worlds” with skin types poorly suited to their new environments. This was in stark contrast to the well-adapted skin of the indigenous inhabitants.

Actually, Homebrew developers have been working on this for months (in their spare time, too, given that they are all volunteers); but the reality is that this is a gargantuan task, 6 months simply wasn't enough.

> Except for the fact that we know people with lower income become wealthier than peoeple with lower incomes. And we know that the poverty rate for married lower income people is twice as low as the poverty rate for singles.

We dont know that.

Unmarried lower income people are more likely to have criminal record, more likely to have mental health issues, more likely to be the ones having hard time to keep jobs, more likely to have drugs related issues. Among women, those who got pregnant before marriage and much harder time to get any money and also are less interesting romance target for guys.

People nowdays see marriage as something you do once you are set by your standars and that strongly biases who marry.

Do lockdowns help?
A lot of countries with hard lockdowns had really bad curves. A slow fire maybe sometimes burns better. A place where everybody gets infected can maybe be more dangerous for visitors when you increase the time the infection is going on?!

Do masks help?
Do they reduce immunity by eliminating some light contacts?
Do they allow to transfer the virus without being infected? For sure you wouldn't like to have doctors (treating e.g. Ebola patients) go shopping and exhaling through their contaminated masks.

Is there any epidemiological evidence that masks helped?
Data using "reporting date" often shows trend changes around mask measures. Taking a look at "date of death" data those trend changes usually are gone. Why is so little "date of death" data available?

You'd think it would be a hot take but I had someone arguing against me that it's not a good indicator since only approx 20% of competitors get a PhD in Math. I felt that he was emotionally invested in his argument, likely due to wanting to do a math PhD and not being food at the competitions. I even agreed that you don't need to be good at competitions to get a PhD but he still kept to his argument that being good doesn't help at all
It would probably be more correct to say there is no incentive.

Gemini and Apollo had a nice one - the space race, more specifically, the fear of being bombed into oblivion from orbital stations without being able to do anything about it.

There's just not much incentive today, it makes business sense to use that funding as long as possible.

I do think it's plotting the points that is hard: note that what I'm measuring is not rendering the image on the screen, but creating the image of the dots in the first place. Creating the image is O(number of dots) work; displaying the image is O(number of pixels) work and GPU-accelerated and peanuts.

I think this because in the end, after all the axis settings and such have been determined (and drawing the axes themselves is surely not the bottleneck), all that remains is just drawing the dots in the rectangular area set out for it. My benchmark does only that part, and as I said, I'm about 50x faster than matplotlib. (C++ and not Python, so I'm not picking on matplotlib, just observing.)

But anyway, if this issue is to be solved it is to be done by contributing to Octave/matplotlib etc, not by throwing around proof-of-concepts on HN. :)
