It is a sad day.

EA will turn it into a derby arcade racer, probably with destruction of opponents' cars. To appeal to as broad audience as possible.

Then, do you want a new liveries, new pilot, new tracks - $$$.

After two games series will be killed as its not making 1000% return.

Well only then a new studio will be able to create a new rally series :/
Out of curiosity, how far into the game are you?

Combat and hacking definitely felt noodley and weak at first, but after a few levels, some slightly better weapons (3 hours in?) and a new OS implant combat is much improved.
+1 to the Amethyst and the Xmonad style tiling with where the focus is on a main area and there are options to switch windows to main aread and cycle layouts.

Exactly this. And why I nowadays only use open source software is that I know my experience stays the same for good. I use i3 because it works just like it worked 10 years ago. I don't need a new experience with every release, new graphics, new ways to use my computer. I just need a utilitarian desktop with my editor, browser and a terminal.
Absolutely - I've done this in industrial facilities and it's very common with LED's where it's generally called PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). Somewhat obviously, you'd generally use a "hidden layer" converting the % output of the PID algorithm to % duty cycle.

This works if your device can have a short enough cycle time for the PID algorithm to receive reasonable response feedback to its output. Ideally for PID to duty cycle conversions, your system should be low frequency (large "inertia") and the physical actuator/device you're controlling should have a high frequency (able to turn on/off rapidly, as LED's can with PWM).

The difficulty for home HVAC is that you'd like to start/stop it as rarely as possible to extend the life of the motors. The cycle frequency ends up being in the same order of magnitude relative to the frequency that the house heats and cools.

Obviously you can tune these things until the cows come home, and eventually you'll probably find some good settings. In reality, most people/installers/technicians will improperly tune a PID loop, especially if it converts to % duty cycle.

Hysteresis will almost always work better for home HVAC.

Alternatively, you can install (somewhat expensive) variable speed AC units and then happily use PID. You'll probably save a bit of energy and be more comfortable overall with more precise management of not only temperature, but also humidity.
I tried the various recommended settings and editing of text CSV files. I'm considering sacrificing a virgin goat or waiting 5 years before playing the game again. I will try disabling the grain filter.

Let's not forget that games are actually just way more than software products. Sure, you need to write a lot of software, but you also need to figure out good gameplay, setting, mood of the game, design levels, create a shitton of art, have actors act in mocap etc. etc.

Games are most likely biggest and most complex "artistic" projects on earth (certainly they dwarf movie production). And doing artistic things is harder than typical software development for e.g. banks, where you have clearly stated requirements, whereas in games the requirement don't go beyond "it has to be cool and play great". Both of these can often only be verified in advanced stages of development, which leads to big delays where company heads realize that the game they've been developing for the past 4 years is indeed sucky and needs a huge revamp...
I did some volunteering on an open source game.

Game goes through various phases of:

A) This system is suboptimal but works
B) Let's rewrite suboptimal system
C) Oh god, we forgot our rewrite to propagate, so it's combination of A and B
D) This system doesn't do anything let's delete it

And this is a very unexciting game. I.e. it uses 2D for everything. Imagine for a moment you now to deal with:

E) nVidia and rayTracing
F) unreleased consoles
G) consoles that are old enough to write
H) OpenGL, DirectX, Vulkan, Mantle, etc.
I) Marketing trying to hype gamers by promising Pie in the Sky
J) Multiple platforms
> I think the opposite is true. GraphQL puts most of the onus on the client to know the data model, define their own queries, understand how to join data etc. REST-style APIs do all of this on the server side, and provide the most interesting query results directly.

This is how I view graphql (despite not having used it). It seems better practice to keep the querying done in the backend and keep frontend for display logic more than anything. Seems like graphql will encourage business logic in the frontend (my current workplace has this problem and it is not something that should be encouraged).
No, it is not illegal - I've been practicing this for the last 10 years, never had any trouble with tax office.

It all depends on how your contract is written - if you have clauses that put some of the business risk on you (e.g. you give 3 month warranty on the code you write, or have some bogus penalties for contract breach, or other things, which I've never seen enforced) then it cannot be treated as full time employment, even if you have just one client for which you issue invoices.

The only thing that is an actual red flag for tax office is when you start as a full time employee, and then switch to running sole proprietorship and your previous employer remains your only client - then it is too obvious that this is just employment in disguise.

EDIT: Also, those "independent contractor" contracts come in different shapes. I, for example have just an hourly rate set, and then I get paid for the hours worked. Some people prefer to have flat monthly rate, and even some paid vacations included in their "B2B contracts", which makes it more suspicious.
There is a pervasive inverse correlation between government spending, as a percentage of GDP, and the rate of economic growth:

https://web.archive.org/web/20170821004405/http://ime.bg/upl...

A tax cut that isn't matched by a spending cut translates to more government borrowing, where the rich take that money they save on taxes, and lend it to the government.
After reading I began to think: penny money first, available free time comes next, attention "capacity" and then we end overloaded.

The patches they’ve released so far have already started to make a difference. On a base PS4, the game at version 1.0.4 is already much improved.
I3 actually has decorations, with a title bar and borders.

Still it retains the pretty utilitarian aesthetics common to most twm. I don’t mind it but some might prefer gui to terms, docks to panels, desktop icons, wallpaper and widgets to a dense grid of windows.

My wife tends to “shake” the windows she is unhappy with. The zoom client app mostly. I would not fare to suggest non shakable UI.
> i.e. "Do we have the right patient?".

sad anecdote: a friend of mine got surgery to remove a problematic mole on his back, and not only the surgeon got the wrong one, but even got upset with him when my friend mentioned something like "I thought it was further up my back".
It doesn't have much to do with age.

It's the same problem as the "both sides" approach to anything [0] ("my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge").

This inherently just moves the problem to decide who's informed (or equivalently what's the required level of "informedness").

Many jurisdictions routinely suspend people's voting rights. Due process and all. Of course when it comes to giving them back after they've served their sentence the process somehow slows down. So I'm fully aware of the downsides of this.

I'm not advocating for doing that to any concrete group of people, I'm advocating for working on this problem. It's not the first time this has come up in history, nor the last.

The long term solution is education. Yes. Is there even a short-term solution? Maybe not. However I'm interested in the details of best arguments for and against.

And I'm not convinced at all that just because someone is older than X years they now have to be "trusted". After all we should protect elderly people from bad information too, they seem to live their second childhood.

Used i3 fulltime for more than a year. It's great for building extremely lightweight environments that will run on any machine.

The productivity side of it is slightly exaggerated (in terms of tiling vs stacking manager), and i didn't find myself saving so much time. One thing i've always missed from the stacking manager is the window overlap - i do that quite often, especially when reading something while doing stuff on another window - most sites have side panels that don't react well to changing window sizes and with stacking window, you can just place them optimally and hide the stuff you don't want to see.

The only issue i've had with it is how it handled popups. For example the andoid emulator window was a pain, also some dialog windows.

I don't think i will be ever coming back to tiling WMs. It was nice infatuation.

That is the WORST type of privacy practice sentence. I've seen it so often.

I fear that this will lead to many lost mails. In my experience, users are often confused by the technical "Mail delivery failed" mails and tend to ignore them or write them off as spam.
>The fact that they don't know the scientific names of the grammar rules doesn't mean that they don't know grammar.

Similarly the fact that they don't study grammar and skip the "hard parts" doesn't mean that they don't pick up/know grammar, so the original argument is moot.

Just remember that there are billions of people moving towards the "developed" country lifestyle - people who will all want houses, cars, furniture, meat 3 times a day, etc etc. Yes, we should reduce our consumption if you already live that lifestyle, but I'm really not sure what are we going to do about billions of people who are about to get there.
Good point. That's probably also the case for surgeries on national holidays.
They announced the game in a Microsoft E3 presentation and were supposed to be a launch title on the new consoles. That probably comes with contractual obligations, like the requirement to release on PS, XBox and PC at the same time, with materially the same game (plus/minus graphics).
If Visa/Mastercard and Pornhub were German companies they could be sued for facilitating <insert criminal action>.

There are investigative articles showing how journalists have directly contacted Pornhub/similar sites because of that and they didn't take down videos in question.

That said, if Pornhub thinks they have a right to get payment processing from Visa/Mastercard, they should probably sue them. Judicature and executive are really fundamentally different from Visa/Mastercard. For instance they don't have any means to force Pornhub to any action apart looking for better customers. I don't see any ambiguity there.
It would be more accurate to say there is no single register of addresses.

The electoral register knows I’ve left the U.K.; I had to tell HMRC separately because they don’t share info; likewise the Student Loans Company even though there is a close connection between income and repayments [0]; and when I tried to tell the DVLA, they told me they lacked the capacity to know about non-UK addresses.

[0] the repayment rules means that, for low- and mid-income people, it behaves more like a graduate tax on worldwide income than a loan — it’s a percentage of pay over a threshold, and only high earners can pay it off fully — and if you do a self-assessment tax return there is a box for student loan stuff.
Your google skills are better than mine!
Effective tax rate is more important than overall tax percentage here. Remember, the rich keep getting richer. the share of income going to the top 0.1 percent of the income distribution "was around 2.5 of total income in the 1970s and reached a peak above 9 percent of total income in 2000

Anyway, in 2020 payroll taxes make up 1340 billion vs 1620 billion in ‘income taxes’ and 221 billion in corporate taxes. So, overall talking about the percentage of income tax paid by the rich is misleading. https://www.usdebtclock.org/

Largest difference is the vast reduction in corporate taxes and the explosion in payroll taxes. https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna29861648. But, critically the burden wasn’t handed to the top 0.01% but rather the top 20% as payroll taxes have a cap.
Is GNU Octave still relevant in the fields where it once was considered as a FOSS alternative to MATLAB?

Since it seems researchers are migrating away from MATLAB itself to python (numpy/scipy).

BTW, GNU Octave is fantastic! You can setup termux ([1]) in your android phone and `apt install octave`. Now you have a portable REPL for many advanced mathematical problems you might face for example in solving homeworks (Singular Value Decomposition, Curve Fitting, etc)

Yes, it does really mean you need to dig into actual causation or the law of unintended consequences will bite you in the ass.
Procedures in hospitals are interesting. I recently visited a hospital and there was a red sign above the table where nurses dose medicines for patients: "No room numbers on trays, no bed numbers on trays". Seems like a low hanging fruit but a very non-obvious one (well at least non-obvious to me).

I keep trying to leave my DSLR at home, but instead am looking at upgrading my Nikon. I love the iPhone and what it can do, and think flagship phones are the best snapshot cameras there have ever been.

But, my Nikon with my 50mm just takes noticeably better pictures in so many situations, particularly portraits. And if I expand my lens usage to my wide angle or my 300mm now we’re into types of pictures phones are completely incapable of taking.
Arbitrary? Size correlates directly to power, monetary power, platform power. If size was arbitrary and meritless then why there are regulations on antitrust that are basically based on size of market capture?

This is a baseless statement...
I do not completely understand your points.

Shouldn't hospitals have multiple surgeons?

If one of them is on vacation, the other one does the work, and vice versa?
I read a similar article a while back, can't remember from where, that argued:

If you're selling a part-time educational product or service, your biggest competitor is Netflix. Even if you convince someone to do an evening course instead of watching Netflix and then they choose someone else's evening course, you've still grown the market in a way that will probably benefit you.

Similarly, Netflix's biggest competitor is sleep.

As I showed, the claim is not true because it can be solved in the same way in both GraphQL and REST.
It’s really hard to draw any conclusions about the 1940’s to 70’s “golden age”, since during this time, the US was the only intact industrial power in the world. Of course this was very profitable, and it was a situation in which American workers had a lot of power. It’s unclear whether taxes had much to do with anything at all.
I wouldn't mind paying more than $60 if they actually delivered on what they promised the game was going to be.
"Download this browser extension so we won't track you without consent" isn't a very good proposition no matter how internet literate you are. I'd argue that the very concept of internet literacy is broken if any of this sounds normal to you.
So this made me look into extensions more generally, and I ended up getting dash-to-panel which solves my grouping issue!
Why not? You got thousands of tensor cores, or tflops under your hand, with already developed APIs, and if you're not too latency-sensitive you can batch a lot. Since you'll be doing the same inference operation millions of time, you don't have to re-prepare kernels and such, use cuda graphs or whatever is the flavour of the day for low overhead, repetitive computation? And if you want to scale a bit, you can add some GPUs before all the PCIe-lanes are all saturated, right? Apart from myriad-x and tpus I'm not sure what could be more useful?

I think it would be good if there was a method to modify other people's writing. Imagine a news article where people can add references, statistics or prose to supplement the original.

Not only residents (in the sense of having a permanent home in the EU):

For example, it also applies to people which are traveling and are currently located in EU territory (provided that a service is intended to be used by EU residents).
For those wondering about that “elderly”: the researchers only looked at “100% fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 to 99 years who underwent one of 17 common emergency surgical procedures in 2011-14” (https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4381), so they didn’t check whether this applies to non-elderly patients.

It also is worth noting that this is published in the BMJ Christmas Issue (https://www.bmj.com/about-bmj/resources-authors/article-type...), so it should be taken with a grain of salt.
I don't think surgeons are fongible assets. There is a lot of planning and study taking place before a complex operation. Not to mention most surgeons have specialties.
SBCL 2.0.11 Released
Use both!
That is not correct, the article talks about methodology:

> The patients were all Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 to 99. They had all undergone one of 17 common emergency surgical procedures between 2011 and 2014. Examples of those 17 procedures included cardiovascular surgeries, hip and femur fracture, appendectomy, and small bowel resection. The study focused on emergency surgery, so as to minimize the potential selection bias. For example, surgeons might otherwise choose patients based on their illness severity, or patients might choose their surgeon.
Show HN: I've built a tool that lets you add links to your TikTok Videos
I am Max, and I'm an entrepreneur & builder based in Germany. Over the past few months, I dug deeper into the TikTok Ecosystem and came across a paint point almost every day.

Creators can’t share links for a (specific) video they upload

But...

... their audiences want’s to know more about products and resources, that they used or mentioned in their videos.

That’s why we created evry.link.

When signing up you create your personal landing page - Profile picture, description, and some general links. After that, you have the chance to create a unique code and add links for every new video you upload. Just put the code in the post description or mention it at the end of your video.

Your followers just need to enter the code on your landing page and will see all of your links.

Just to name a few cases for different niche creators/influencers:

Fashion => Share the dress, handbag, or shoes you are wearing
Tech => Share the gadgets you are using or the products you are unboxing
Travel => Share the hotels and activities seen in your video

Why evry.link?

- It’s free to use (no hidden costs)
- Signup and setup your personal landing page in just 30 seconds.
- Create landing pages with links for each of your videos with a few clicks

Happy to hear your feedback! You can check it out at https://evry.link!
To vote, you need to register to vote, I voted at London Mayor elections in 2016. You vote wherever you register to vote, I don't remember the details but I guess it was me declaring that I live there and I would like to vote.

In UK there's this concept called proof of address and it's usually bill or a document that is sent to your address, there's no central registry of residents.
At least some tiling window managers are very flexible. The only tiling window manager I have used for a substantial amount of time is Sway, and it doesn't actually make it any harder to move and resize windows however you want than it is in, say, Gnome or Plasma. You can move and resize floating as well as tiled windows with drag and drop, and you additionally have lots of automatic arrangement options when you need them.

This is not the result of regulation but of trust and reputation. Firms and consumers don't want to do business with companies that look like they're triviliasing child abuse. The payment processors are not compelled by regulation here.

Even in a 'free market' you're not free from the consequences of your actions, and you're not unaccountable. And furthermore, just because two actions are motivated by ethical judgements, doesn't mean they're equivalent. Being a homophobic cake vendor isn't the same as trying to stop the funding of child porn.

The EFF article seems to suffer from the same misconception, accusing Visa and Mastercard of 'censorship' and asks where they got the authority to 'regulate speech'.

In free societies there is another freedom, namely freedom of association, which these firms exercise when they decide not to do business with Pornhub, which nobody ought to compell them to. Also as a sidenote, declaring pornsite payments freedom of speech is a strange reframing of the concept
