And guys, please. The economy is not all those people who lost their job. I don't think any country's government cares about them. Market changes are here to stay. This is not going to be reversed. We aren't going back to "normal" after covid.
>There are free to play Multiplayer games, where microtransactions are for skins and other cosmetic stuff. Thats fine by me.

Actually no, it's not fine. Because if the cosmetic stuff would have been obtainable just through game play, it would have been easier to obtain. If it's available for real money, they have an incentive to make it more grindy to obtain otherwise. Consciously or not.

And if you think the availability of those cosmetic items doesn't affect you - consciously or not - you're deluding yourself.

No matter how they're implemented, microtransactions are a burden on either your wallet or your time.
They can, just not with any Linux, exactly due to drivers.

Put into them a custom closed OEM distribution, or the Windows for the Pi, and there is no issue playing YouTube with proper hardware acceleration.
I think, by and large, you look at polls, and set your expectations. You say "I expected the republicans to be crushed, they weren't, so it must be true that the democrats didn't perform well." I think a lot of democrats did the same - but it wasn't truly realistic.

I'd say the republicans were beaten pretty badly. I think they are at their worst point in decades. They managed to get their largest turnout ever, and didn't even flip the house. States that were red for decades flipped blue. And if the two runoffs are losses, that is a devastating blow, losing all levels of the federal government. 50% is not 50% without the white house.

I don't think the memory of Trump will go away that quickly. This election mobilized a lot of young voters, and now that they've seen their vote got rid of him, they will be more motivated to vote again for more progressive agendas, or against more radical right wing ones.

I don't think the rural republicans (Which is really where trump got most of his boost, anyway), will come out the same for a Mitt Romney. They want the guy who isn't afraid to tell it "like it is", be anti-BLM, etc. That is a major rift in the republican party that will further impact who they put up as candidates - and more rejection from the suburbs and cities will come.
Just from that one error message we can infer the following issues:

1. Not using the built-in WP_Http class or related helper methods (wp_remote_get) that provide headers, timeouts, useragent, auth, etc.

2. Unserialising remote, untrusted PHP objects (!) (Why does Vimeo provide/encourage this?)

3. Not handling HTTP error response codes.

4. PHP errors are not hidden from users.
The counter argument is that the GP literally said they know people who are interested but don’t speak English.

These games are extremely random, by law. The card game itself is truly random, short of any unknown bugs that escaped testing by both the manufacturer and the regulators. The only thing that affects the payouts in a video poker game is the paytable, which is visible to the player up front and can't be changed while they're playing it, again by law. You can look up the expected value of each game online before putting any money in by the advertised paytable.

thanks for sharing your project!
I was thinking: instead of using atmospheric noise for entropy, one could use a variety of different things taken directly from the user, like mouse movements (Veracrypt uses the mouse to seed random values for example). You could even use things like the user's timezone, HTML5 Canvas fingerprint, even the order/arrangement of icons on the desktop. There's so many sources!
What I'm seeing nowadays is that very often, businesses want 'monkey solutions'. People think that no matter what is problem, there's an easy solution to it,or they just want to click one button and all the magic happens. There's unwillingness to learn,to understand,or want to figure out. No wonder those companies who still want to do difficult stuff raking billions,while everyone else is left behind.
No, it is the distinction between definite, indefinite and no article at all.

Coming from a language that has no articles at all, it was by far the hardest thing to learn.

Hard rules about where you should and shouldn't put articles are few. The rest is pure feeling and experience.
Its good you are to trying to help but forcing other people who don't want to wear mask againts their interest is not helping, its selfish.

Digression risk: Unless we count human evolution as “learning” I’d disagree: some “metaphors” are surely innate. A snake is scary to babies who have not learned it’s dangerous. Symmetry is beautiful to an untrained eye. Design should be informed also by our innate traits; refrain from taking the “blank slate” idea at face value.
Yeah, and those items aren't obtainable (or very hard to obtain) via game play :) It affected the game's design.
More people are looking for passive articles to consume than filing a bug report to request information on specific systems. This reply is unnecessary.
Twitch suspends DragonForce guitarist Herman Li for playing his own music
When I was in college I spent a summer abroad at an art school in the south of France. It was a medieval village, and so instead of dorms everyone was scattered in various places throughout this village on a hillside.

Anyway, a couple of our classmates turned their entire room into a pinhole camera — a “camera obscura”, where the image of the whole valley was projected upside down on the wall.

It was pretty magical being inside of that.
Ask HN: What are useful OKRs and KPIs for SWEs
I know Objectives and Key Results (OKR) and Key Performance Indicators (KPI) can be specific to the domain in which they're defined; however, I was hoping that the community could help me define some useful, generically-defined OKRs and KPIs. Generic in the sense one could rewrite / rework them to apply more to their own domain, not necessarily that they do not have a specific goal.
I see a reflection of myself in this story...

"Running a datacenter" isn't something that inherently needs its own IP range. You could run a datacenter only in private address space and NAT to the internet (though this wouldn't really be very practical) or even run in private space. My point is that having a lot of computers doesn't _necessarily_ require getting public IPs or ASNs.

You need public addresses if you want to be publicly reachable. If you're small you might find an ISP — let's say ISP Inc — that will give you an internet connection and allocate some part of the address space it in turn has been allocated. There's no need for BGP or dedicated IPs here — the rest of the internet already knows how to reach the range(s) of addresses assigned to ISP Inc, and from there ISP Inc's own network takes care of sending the traffic down the pipe to you.

If you need a lot more addresses, or you want to use more than one ISP (either of which could apply to WhatsApp's case), you probably need to get a dedicated assignment and an ASN. The ASN means you're an "autonomous system" — not a carved out bit of someone else's network. You go to your local registrar and convince them you need some addresses, and then you go to your ISP(s) and ask them for "transit", which means they'll connect you to their network and route to and from the rest of the internet for you. But since you're now using your own addresses it's not as simple as above, where your IPs were part of your ISP's range and everyone else just sent their traffic to your ISP for them to route to you. Your IPs are yours now, and until you tell the rest of the internet how to find you nothing will work. To make this work you have to get your ISP(s) to tell the internet "hey, y'all want to send traffic to Mr Weasel LLC? I can handle it for you". This is called "announcing" a prefix (IP range) and BGP is the mechanism through which all the routers on the internet propagate announcements detailing who is providing connectivity to who.

Conceptually this stuff is quite straightforward but in practice it can be mindbending. As well as transit there are peering arrangements (where Mr Weasel can arrange with Netflix to swap traffic over a dedicated physical connection, rather than their respective ISPs) and hella complicated traffic engineering schemes linking the big content providers to the internet. For instance, Facebook has thousands of transit and peering connections with other ISPs and providers and deciding which path is optimal for any given situation requires very complicated policies and management.
The investigations that lead to convictions were entirely fabricated?
There seems to be a lot of double counting in that list. For example, 44.192.0.0/11 and 44.224.0.0/11 are listed twice. Then there are 28 entries of 44.x.x.x that would fall under the two /11's already listed.

So by your number, only 978 death last week ? Even if its true that is still such a low number and probably skewed towards old people.

With this number you want to have shutdown business, restrict business, prevent gathering, implement all those silly safety theatre for the rest of population? Yeah very very not worth it.

Looks like the CDC investigated the outbreak - if there was a virus responsible, wouldn't it have been found then? If it was related, it doesn't make sense that it would not have easily begun to spread at that time.

Trying to connect dots makes for adventurous brainstorming, but it doesn't manifest reality.

This is exactly the kind of language utilized to create a sense of mystery and intrigue, but is not based on any facts.
Dash is pretty essential to my development workflow. I’ve found using Dash through the Alfred integration combined with multiple monitors to be very productive.
Yes it is.

But it still means, that people with more time than money get to play the game. And those with more money than time, can take a fast dive here and there.

I've seen that work (more or less) in some games.

> Sure, you can come up with some standard numbers in an hour. But it wouldn't be the most thoughtful analysis, and the decision isn't really about a single efficacy estimate anyway.

No one is saying don't be thorough. What I'm saying and Makary is saying and the UK is saying is that the required thoroughness shouldn't take this long and when it does, real human lives are lost and sustained invasive measures in the freedoms of individuals are required.

> I guess I figure if you're going to go down this route of pissing matches over how fast you can do an analysis on how big of a dataset, why the hell even have an FDA anyway?

What a ridiculous leap. That's so many logical steps away from "the FDA moves way too slow" it's an absurdity. Who is arguing against the FDA's existence other than I guess you now sort of???
That's debatable. Check out Guild Wars 1 skin collectors. There is no such thing in Guild Wars 2 because there are very few skins obtainable from gameplay, and the rest are in the IAP store.

If you're the hypercompetitive type yeah, I guess you don't care. Except you could be competing for the largest skin collection... In any case, a lot of people do care.
To echo some other points made in this thread, custom UI is pretty much the norm because the aesthetic part of it is seasonal. We recently built probably the nicest looking enterprise app within our company (even I was shocked when I first saw the designs, it was light years ahead of everything else at the company). Six months later it started to look dated. Design language that models certain user flows feel old over time, and obviously the aesthetic is completely operating under the laws of fashion, things stop looking fresh fast. This is all important because other products within the company can start to look and feel better, and definitely so can competing products by other companies. It happens so fast.

Has anyone looked at MaterialUI lately? It looks dated. The new design paradigms are coming, and whether you like it or not, it’s going to make your current stuff look sluggish.

So yeah, no-code tools could quickly build the design of the day, but today’s designs were already yesterday’s design yesterday.

Lastly, from my experience Triplebyte does not really Leetcode their frontend people. Which means the sales pitch for people they certify for front end has to be centered around ‘UI developer’ (html/css/modest js) vs software engineer. They have an incentive to push some kind of narrative here.

Microtransactions is a generic term. Microtransactions can be purely cosmetic like skins, so it doesn't matter when it comes to gameplay, or extensions which had levels/story/whatever to an existing game. So microtransactions aren't bad, especially in a free 2 play game. What EA and co are doing on the other hand is different, it's called 'pay 2 win', the more you pay, the easier it gets to win whatever you have to win in that game (or progress faster). The latter is a questionable practice.

Pay 2 win games should absolutely be regulated and be 18+ only.

Nokia is trying the ole Qualcomm strategy, refuse to license patents to chip makers, then try to extract x% of a finished car or a finished laptop from Daimler/Lenovo because somewhere in the $100/$1k product there is a dollar value chip that does H264 decoding.

So I have a spectrum disorder that affects the eyes. At this point, I can only see poorly but it’s still good enough to walk around safely in the world. Glasses don’t help.

Yet, I am not disabled. One day I’ll be legally blind and then I’ll be disabled.

I think if there is a spectrum issue then some people will be in the spectrum but not count as disabled. Autism is a poorly understood disorder at least when it comes to determining how it affects your life. Maybe in the future it will have a legal definition that can be easily tested for.

I suspect that the author is closer to the norm on the spectrum since they went for 42 years of success without knowing the problem existed. That’s how it was for me with my eyes.

My brother in the other hand is autistic non verbal, and there never was any doubt he was disabled.
Indeed. It's probably why they've been so slow to support IPv6 across their various services. I still don't think you can have a pure IPv6 network yet on a VPC.

I don't mind if you downvote my comment. That's perfectly acceptable if you don't like my opinion. I respect that. No harm done there. :) It's true that everything I know about EVs are from personal experience of people I know. Believe it or not I'm happy that coal is on its way out. I wish it happened sooner.

My sister owned a Tesla model 3 in California for 3 years. She had a lot of fun in it and used it as a daily commute. You're right that in most cases a regular person won't have any problems. They had problems with long waiting times at superchargers at charging stations during long weekends and public holidays. Once they literally had to wait for hours just to get a chance to charge it. She did lose some battery capacity and sold it.

Hydrogen takes 4 to 5 minutes to fill up as opposed to 30 to 40 minutes for EV with supercharging. There is no comparison there. Also using a fast charger all the times can damage batteries. I'm not saying Hydrogen cars are practical now. They could be in future. I hope it is.

Language learning is difficult and your success with one language has a lot to do with what you speak natively. I've heard that Italian speakers for instance can pick up English with relative ease compared with someone who grew up speaking Japanese.

People also have different priorities in life. Past high school and university you've got a career and possibly a family to attend to. Finding enough time to learn another language would be a big ask for many.

I just really miss code connection in the Java version. It was the only way I found to teach programming for my kids, but they loath the C# version
This is good. It reminded me that "vim" is actually a word: "with vim and vigor." It's an appropriate word. Sort of like a retroactive nominal determinism, because it's "vi-improved", so the Mooleanaar probably didn't name it because vim means energy, but, basically that's what it means for a lot of programmers (including me). All these years, I never recalled the connection between the word and the name of the tool, until reading this story! Great!
TL;DR: Eight years of sun arcs were captured using long exposure solargraphy [1] at a teaching observatory near London. The pinhole camera was forgotten and left out longer than the typical 6-12 months.

Around Saskatchewan at least, a lot of farms only have a single phase provided by a single wire (!). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-wire_earth_return That gets converted by a pole transformer into the normal split-phase residential setup.

I just looked on Google Earth and measured it out; we're only about 1.1 miles from a 3-phase line, so it would be feasible, but likely pretty expensive, to get that run to us.

If firewalls are even needed, a recent poll on an IPv6 professional forum ended with 50/50 split between opt-in and opt-out for IPv6 firewalls in routers of consumer ISPs...
I can see this being true. Recently watched a presentation from the CEO of Nexon and it was pretty interesting.

The most eye opening part is the live game operations. They have multiple people who are monitoring the players and if someone is close to leaving or feels like they are going to leave the game (he is mostly talking about Maplestory) they give them a "buff" or some kind of incentive to stay. You get a better loot, or a better equipment. Basically they rig the rng in your favor. And he was talking how the AI and machine learning will change that in the upcoming years because it's actually hard to do that manually (don't give too strong buffs because the player with the buff get bored quickly etc.)

The part start here but worth watching the whole video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEqzZCmlzTk&feature=youtu.be...
I can't find the pricing anywhere. How much do they charge?
Unibody can provide a lower floor height than body on frame. For a pickup that means bed height and with a load that means a lower center of gravity (and easier loading/unloading by hand). For an electric vehicle, there's not a lot of reason to provide a drive shaft from front to back, so the depth of the frame has even less rationale. The same is true if the vehicle is front wheel drive as is the case for Ram Promaster (Fiat Ducato) cargo vans.

And the Ram Promaster is a real truck available as 1/2, 3/4, and one ton ratings. All are rated at 5000lbs towing capacity and 11,000lbs GVW. Even available as chassis only.

There's folk wisdom and then there's automotive engineering.
"Now we finally get to something interesting: how AF2 actually works! Alas, I will be able to say a lot less than I had hoped for, and here I have to do something which I very much dislike to do but feel that I must—call out DeepMind for falling short of the standards of academic communication. What was presented on AF2 at CASP14 barely resembled a methods talk. It was exceedingly high-level, heavy on ideas and insinuations but almost entirely devoid of detail"

I agree 100% with this paragraph. I have watched alphafold presentation and was as disappointed as Mohammed. Deepmind kept all the interesting parts of their method secret and Jumper dodged question after the next about the method. I am disappointed because deepmind would not had any chance solving this problem without the CASP community and advances shared over more than 20 years.
