[1] Saying this as someone who’s neurodivergent, took to overly specific language as a way to understand the world at a young age, learned that people find it irritating to be corrected when you can infer their meaning in context, and grew to share that annoyance. Also saying this as a hobbyist linguistics nerd fully on the descriptivist side of the fence.
Pretty interesting! I have seen one or two of these "trading in public" apps emerge recently. The one that comes to mind is Commonstock.

I like that this is a public web page that can have account-less following. I could see influencer or thought leader types chucking this on their linktree or whatever.

Two pieces of feedback were (1) the sample site was on the slower side to load given its content and (2) it would be good for recent trades to have the trade type (buy/sell). Right now just looks like buy only? Bonus points for more trade types if you want to cater to the wsb crowd.
Same for me, mainly for privacy concerns. And I back it up daily to my local NAS. It's so easy to configure and run your own mail server, that I'm surprised we are the minority in the tech community.
The overheat thing is absolutely the most annoying thing in the game for me. It's way to hard to tell where its coming from, and with everything else going on it's just too much. And there doesn't seem to be a cooldown so the moment the effect wears off you're hit again.

Theres a part where you're upstairs and you can hear the ai trying to attack you from the floor below. The game is fun but only barely and I think the novelty is going to wear off quite quickly.
2. I have fiber and I'm close to a Stadia datacenter.*

I assume they don't release in markets that aren't physically close to the hardware though - it's not available at all here in New Zealand for example.
sounds like a sure fire way of baking in "low hanging fruits" in release, and heroically picking them to get the bonus :)

don't game the game devs man...
I mean, it's possible, but you'd need to queue up a day's worth of bounces, do the analysis, and then handle the bounces asynchronously later on to do that.

Most systems operate more immediately in isolation on individual addresses than that right now, because such analysis is generally not needed (until today, of course ;-)).
SMTP was designed to have primary / secondary etc. Google decided they know better and not to follow the SMTP standards
Let's just hope fair taxation follows.
I've been working on something similar to both but also distinct.
PC here, agree it's fun and I think some people are definitely expecting GTA from a developer that has absolutely no experience making something like GTA.

GTA is GTA because Rockstar perfected the formula and the engine over several iterations of the game. I'm sure every GTA is a mountain of work to create, but its a considerably smaller mountain than starting from scratch.

But putting GTA aside, I don't think CDPR ever promised to create a Cyberpunk-GTA clone.

There's a lot of small bugs. It doesn't run particularly well, but I'll say it again - the core game is fun and story well written. I'm taking a break, but I look forward to revisiting after the first few big patches.

Edit: One thing that's always worked for me is to amortize the cost of purchase by time played. If I get only six hours of Cyberpunk 2077 played at $60. That's 10/hr for entertainment... which is better than a lot of stuff.

I'll probably sink 50 or 60 hours into the game completing the main story. That's $1/hr of entertainment... ridiculously good value.

Gamers are so cranky.
Considering Apple doesn't sell any devices running Linux, I don't see how they could've possibly beaten PINE64 in building a sustainable ARM Linux company.
Happened to me. With Catalina, my Mac Pro (2019, W5700X) was able to drive 2 LG 27GN950-B 27" monitors at 4K, 144Hz, HDR.

Under Big Sur? 60Hz only, for HDR, or 95Hz without HDR. It seems Display Stream Compression (DSC) is broken in Big Sur, including 11.1, including for some Apple display users. For other users, doesn't matter the display, the GPU, or the cable, this seems broken.

Apple gets bit (again) by the WFM bug.

Multiple people report having spoken to Apple who has said "Macs max out at 95Hz", though it is unclear where the confusion may be there (perhaps the M1), as they definitely don't under Catalina.
A poorly executed Prince Albert.
Okay, so use "their." It is gender neutral, so should work for everyone.
What Eric Schmidt wants from the government
I had the same thought—reading computer code seems more analogous to editing, especially editing something like a technical manual where you're concerned with how others will interpret the instructions.

Reading through the research methods of this study, it says the participants read a single line of English text or Python/Scratch code at a time. (Example English sentence of "NOBODY COULD HAVE PREDICTED THE EARTHQUAKE IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY"). So this study was looking only at the very granular level of "reading".
This just isn't true. Pornhub has not been convicted of any crime. There is no legal mandate for the credit card companies to stop servicing them.

They are doing this to avoid the appearance off having something to do with child porn, not due to legal liability
Tofutti's cream cheese does it for me. Likewise can't quite recall the difference, but I enjoy it nonetheless.
What about if the script wants to source sibling files in the samedirectory? I.e. it is a bash library of sorts with modules spread over files. This isn’t “operating on data” abe it would be weird for a library to have to receive its own location as an argument in order to have to load its own modules.
Standardize the underpinnings, mechanism, whatever, but allow the user to make the GUI their own. On my 1990's Amiga, I can have a single icon that covered the entire screen if I wanted. (Why? Because I can? hehe) Still more customizable than anything I've seen since (unless you use some sort of third party thing like Talisman on windows, etc.) Sure, there are workstations that might be used by multiple people, in those cases lock the GUI down to something usable by all. But don't lock down everything to some committee's idea of "productive". JMHO :)
It's in the original paper. They were shown "snippets" of Python or Scratch, and then asked about what it would do.
We have a lot of automation/tools to prevent incidents when mitigation is straightforward (e.g. roll back a bad flag, quarantine unusual traffic patterns), which means that when something does go wrong it's often a new failure mode that needs custom, specialized mitigation.

As Douglas Adams says, "The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."
One of the images in the article (https://www.pine64.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/HRock64.jp...) has a picture of the Rockchip board where a port is labeled 老化, which in Japanese and presumably Chinese too would mean something like "aging".
No, I said that people don't say something as obvious as "I really want a walled garden", they express their desire for a walled garden through action and by wanting things that are only possible through a walled garden. People want Apple to make their decisions for them, that's a vote for Apple's walled garden.

"Walled garden" is just some jargon that some of us use to describe this kind of platform. Consumers have long been familiar with the concept of a platform that is locked down and makes decisions for you. "Walled garden" isn't a magic phrase that one needs to utter in order to want.
Afaik GDPR does not cover EU citizens (or residents) travelling outside the EU, but of course there is no harm for companies acting like it does.
Yeah, to be fair I've never had to test it.

> Chromium might have some major advantages, but user privacy (and ultimately experience) will never be a part of it

I take it by saying 'Firefox's Backend' you're talking about Gecko, and with Chromium, Blink (fork of Webkit).

They’re just browser engines. What's the difference in terms of privacy? Nothing. They just render web pages.

No way they’d have two engines switchable, would make it a headache for developers and testers.
Some systems (used to) map the local part to local unix usernames, which are case-sensitive. Hence the sender would get a 550 No such user (or similar) if he got the case of the local part wrong.
I’m disappointed this is grey at my viewing time. This is spot on, and speaks to a common (confirmation) cognitive bias so commonly cited here I’d think it would be recognized.
Regarding building from source, ~8 years ago, I built Mono, Monodevelop and their dependecies from source on Linux, no binaries, and it was straightforward. Created a language plug-in for a custom language, and I loved the dev environment. Shout out to the Mono community! (And thank you!)

Unfortunately, today, I can't figure out how to build that stack from source, even Gentoo's dotnet overlay can't seem to build it. Oh well. I'd appreciate any pointers.
"It's mesmerizing to watch legions of young people defend a Union they grew up in with no wars, with relative economic stability, with open borders and unencumbered travel."

A little bit like a Chinese citizen, defending their lack of democracy 'because 7% growth every year and stability!'.

Not only are things things 1) possible without the EU, 2) they were mostly put in place long before the body politic existed (the EEC is a primary driver of the above) 3) it has nothing to do with the democracy deficit.

"UK has left the EU and it will be fascinating how it will function now that it has severed basically all ties with the EU."

The UK has not 'severed all ties' ... but, are you truly asking how it's possible for a sovereign nation to function without the EU?

How does Australia function?

How does Japan function?

?

They will all get along mostly fine.

Again - none of the arguments given point to any reasonable underlying motivation for denying EU citizens the right to chose their leaders.

--> EU citizens are denied the right to vet, or vote for the leaders and their platforms, their elected officials cannot enact legislation, and their ability to censure the non-elected leaders (this is maybe the most important power) is basically non-existent.

It's an existential problem.
Which one would you prefer? ;-)
Also things like teams and skype at least on linux appear to just be electron webapps. Microsoft's safest long-term cash cow I think is still in these corporate contracts that combine all their tools in a confusing giant stew for every employee at those 1,000+ headcount companies.

Having more instrumentation over the platform they're doing it on is probably reasonable and realistically blink is already on every platform with over 1% usage share so that's a much easier road than supporting Trident, EdgeHTML or Chakra - the engine is not their core product - it's the stuff built on top of it.

I've used edge on linux - other than the weird thrill of seeing software that says "Copyright Microsoft" running on linux it's just a typical functional webbrowser -- that's exactly what they need.
workspace (gsuite) customers: remember to claim under the SLA, cos they don't award it automatically

I have a similar understanding, what will be interesting is how the UK will enforce its rules. Facebook has its HQ in Ireland, which notable not in the UK. This also applies to most other US companies.

Kinda makes me suspect that some companies will just ignore UK data protection law on the basis the UK can't do squat to enforce it.
Mail agents already queue emails that bounce though; it's a matter of changing the conditions for when you retry and/or unsubscribe. I imagine you can do the analysis in real time too... just look at the bounce and see if it pertains to an email you sent to in the past, and if so, increment some rolling counter for that domain.
> Better driver AI and haircuts would be cool, but they're not central to what the game is.

The problem though is the AI is outright stupid right now, and that does affect the game. It doesn't have to be groundbreaking, it just has to not break. Enemies that can see you through a door or try to shoot through the floors is a problem - and probably why performance is so bad.
I always think about GraphQL as pushing versioning into the future when it's either:

1) the product is dead

2) original folks moved on

3) "it's no longer my problem"

The if-then-else spaghetti code it creates on the back-end whenever an API breaking change is needed is always cute.
I wonder where companies would draw the line of "This is too much, let's leave the EU market".

A naïve answer would be: as long as there's a positive ROI. But I guess all the headaches must be taken into account.
How would an ungoverned corporation be less evil than one subject to democratic laws?
Australian?
If some online store is getting payments from EU credit cards and sending goods to EU, then they obviously do offer services in EU. There are also some plausible options for enforceability (e.g. seizing all payments from EU), however, the major obstacle is that no regulator will care enough to try and enforce anything for a small scale foreign site. Their #1 enforcement priority is on EU businesses mishandling private data (e.g. loyalty programs of brick-and-mortar shops, telecommunications providers, lenders, etc), and #2 priority is the major online players that each affect millions of people. Most regulators still have a backlog on #1, they're just starting the first enforcement actions on #2, so any attempt for small foreign sites is years away at best.
Why, when someone tries to take advantage of you, is your first reaction to retreat?
Trust me, the problem is not being ruled by 51% of the people, but being ruled by < 1%, which is the case with American oligarchy (or at least their final goal).
I've noticed references to my.name@google.com instead of my real address my.name@gmail.com — That doesn't seem good.
have several old laptops accumulated over the years, and they are running these days much better under the PuppyLinux purely from USB than they did back then under XP, Vista, 7.

I agree with other commenters that Neverware was bought not for old laptops. It is the supposedly zero-administration of Cloudready that in some CXX targetting PowerPoint looks like that old mainframe/terminal setup or like JavaStation (you stick the badge in and your work environment comes up) - CXX like to cut costs through magic of zero-administration/etc. May be Google will even risk to roll it out internally.
IIRC, if you walked in front of a car in GTA:SA it would eventually go around you. In CP77 the cars on just on rails, kinda like Autopia at Disneyland. They can accelerate and decelerate on their preordained paths but that's it.
Why do people think ads only have to deal with buying stuff like your next take out meal or a book on Amazon? We have ads for politics, charities, public service, pubic image of famous people, etc. We have ads for basically everything. We've been doing this for over 100 years too! I'm pretty sure if ads only helped sell more hamburgers then politicians would spend their campaign money elsewhere. Surely someone in the last hundred years would have figured out a better way to optimize that cash flow. But just simplifying the argument to selling more hamburgers is pretty disingenuous.

Which JavaScript function? The two main ones return two differing results for my browser.

Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone

Which is UTC +11.

new Date().getTimezoneOffset()

Which is roughly UTC +11.8.

If you're going to shoebox me into a particular timezone - tell me what it is, and let me change it.
Especially in this "everyone works from home" world that COVID's delivered us. Even after COVID's over, a lot of employers are going to be much more open to permanent work-from-home.
There would be a lot of mental gymnastics involved to call it anything else.
The original Halo is similar. Play it on a higher difficulty level and the behaviours of the different enemy types are super immersive and challenging. It's available on PC as well. I haven't played the other titles in the series so I don't know if they kept the great AI.
If I knew about the tokens before I was hired, no advantage is taken.

Honestly not even sure I agree that you're being taken advantage of if the policy is enacted after your hiring.

A bonus is a bonus. It is given out at the companies discretion, unless stipulated in your employment contract.
If you can't even explain it to professional techies, it will never be adopted by the billions.
Yes, they Internet has felt for lack of better word “weird” for the past couple days. Nothing specific but similar to your experience with random things not loading but refresh and it’s fine etc. Or strangely slow response on websites.
i can read it!
but then i spent months fiddling with intel intrinsics as a hobby
I’ve read a lot of horseshit reasons against showing the least possible shred of humanity by using someone’s correct pronouns, but “then the Illuminati will steal your 401k!” is a new one.
Not GP, but I believe they meant it is a lot harder for things to get seen on the Internet now than it was on the Internet before, not IRL before.
> The problem is people expect all things to be free (beer).

That may be true, but few people ask the follow up question “why do people expect things to be free?”

The answer is usually because companies like Google had pulled a bait-and-switch of sorts where they offered a service for free long before they made a commercial business of people’s profiles. They set this expectation of free themselves.

And you can’t really blame a consumer for wanting to bag a bargain.
Case for billionaires sending $3k stimulus checks to everybody
Great job. How did you build the website?
Same from LinkedIn
That one is just an archaic rule, but I registered an LLC in NY for like $200 all in. Services will publish for you in random publications for that cost. Still annoying, but not a huge deal realistically.
> ... vs preferred method of displaying things due to the technical limitations of how they store information.

I don’t believe that is what the platform is doing. It is displaying content the user will most likely interact with, resulting in the user staying on the platform longer. It seems quite dangerous to me, as it could cause users to assign some sort of weight to the content, particularly if the content is well liked by others it could lead to the belief that ‘this is the correct information’.
Yup, today I was looking on some examples of AWS CloudFormation templates and I saw version 2010-09-09. Instantly, I thought the webpage I was reading must be old; so I opened the docs. In the docs, I see "The latest template format version is 2010-09-09 and is currently the only valid value."

Last version was 10 years ago and this service is one of the core AWS services, so it's definitively not abandoned.
I also had the same hard bounce (when emailing from a non-gmail address -- fastmail -- to a gmail address). Sent it again minutes later and then it worked.
Yes, for science. It was ~$100 to check if I can avoid spending $2k+ on a PC rig because I can do my casual gaming on a MacBook Air. Turns out I can, so it was money well spent.
> The fact that at no point did police simply open fire in mass. Well that is truly impressive.

You think that it's "impressive" (?!) that the police, while working, did _not_ commit mass murder in response to being called names?

What hideous third-world country do you live in? And while many people see the police as degenerates, your description and expectations of them are about as low as a human being could go.
> I dislike the "genius" and "gifted" labels because in the long run they're excuses why you're not one.

They’re also excuses when you are one. “Genius here, don’t need to cook or clean.” They’re a point of failure whichever side of the fence is greener.
Interesting but how up to date is the OS? Can I expect current Android versions to show up over the next few years? Are the vendor customizations good or bad?

I tend to stick with Google phones because I like the stock Android experience. I've heard Sony isn't too bad. I really didn't like what Samsung did to Android but I last experienced it over a decade ago.
Google assistant is also having troubles
I tend to disagree. Apple's newest iPhone 12 Pro Max IS supposed to entice photographers and marketed towards creators. Photogs have always inconvenienced themselves with camera gear just to get the better quality shot. You'll see them take time to setup a photo. A few inches here and there on the phone will probably not matter as much. It's a small price to pay on the daily driver phone to pack a good camera sensor. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is a good deal to pixel peepers.
I reeeeally don't want to go down this rathole but a few days ago when my kids were having problems connecting to YouTube on both wifi and LTE I had begun to think that Trump pulled the 1. Stop Internet, 2. Attempt Coup thing.
Sorry to be anti-capitalist real quick but what is it with HN and dying for Big Tech/1%? Do you think FB would show you the same loyalty?
They're either a natural monopoly and this a utility, and they can't refuse service to any legal customer OR they're a monopoly in what should be a competitive market and need to be broken up.
Everyone remembers that "balkanization" refers to chopping up a nation into pieces (Balkans), right? So it's funny to see nations and multi-nations groups, who often sign treaties to "rationalize" rules, referred to as Balkanizing.
No Mans Sky devs turned failure into a big win in a year or so after release. Miracles do happen, I hope CDPR can pull it off too.
You can buy the car for the car, or as a display of wealth. This is independent of having wealth to spare.

If you do have plenty of wealth to spare, maybe you don't worry about dents. Just tell your people that you spotted a dent, and they'll get the car fixed or replaced.

Being nervous about dents isn't great for displaying wealth. It's better to park on a busy street in San Francisco, right next to a tent city where people have set up shop selling car parts. That shows everybody you don't worry about the money.
> due to the technical limitations of how they store information.

Has nothing to do with technical limitations and everything with engagement metrics. Facebook does not want to show you what you want to see, they want to show you what will hook you and keep you in the platform. If anything, it takes more resources to show their view than just a time posted order.
Better regulations should be the goal.

Fewer can mean keeping the bad ones while getting rid of the good ones.

One tax rate sounds like junk to me. A progressive tax rate that applies to all things that get you money: income, gains, loans, etc makes more sense. Along with some way of getting taxes when money leaves local borders.

... And you need subsidies for the things you want to promote. Always doing that as explicit subsidies makes sense though. If you want people to take out loans, you can grant subsidies for their loan repayments
