I don't think there's much weird about providing a script a path to its dependencies. If it's the case that the path to the dependencies location is the same as the path to the script's location, that's fine. We're asking distinct questions (where is my data, where are my deps, where is my script) here, the unnecessary coupling is precisely the assumption they have the same answer. If they happen to have the same answer, that's not weird, that sort of thing happens all the time.
Why is everyone just talking about last-gen consoles? My partner has been playing on the PS5 and it still crashes at least every hour. Sure, not every 10 min but nothing to gloss over either. This doesn’t even mention the texture glitches, clipping, unachievable quest glitches, animation bugs, etc
These were the expectations set by CDPR and their marketing team. Open world mechanics are a joke in this game. Pedestrians look same. Driving mechanics are janky.
NoProto – Performance of Protocol Buffers with Flexibility of JSON
The Signal devs have always been extremely hostile to anybody making third party clients, because they say they know better than everybody else. Instead of making a library or daemon that could interoperate with third party software and decently built messengers, they preferred to create their own Moxie Approved(tm) bloated elecron crap.

So be it. But then when their software is crap I won't just accept the "well at least it's not Facebook" defense.
There are only a few million of each new console sold. Even if you somehow managed to sell to 75% of the owners, that’s not many people.
We should first of all reframe the notion that China has not engaged in wars of colonization and conquest since its independence. It has attempted and failed in the case of Taiwan, and has also managed to frame all of its armed conflicts, save its participation in the Korean War, in irredentist terms, meaning that they are simply trying to reclaim what already was rightfully theirs. I grew up in China and in the early 90s my maps had "South Tibet" marked as Chinese, Sikkim as an independent nation, and the maritime borders extending to the shores of Brunei. My parents were both mobilized for the 1979 Sino-Vietnamese War but did not see combat because it only lasted 3 weeks, although an uncle was injured and claims to have called an artillery strike that gave him what we now know as PTSD ever since. All maps published in China kept meaningless (although shorter and easier on the tongue) Chinese names in brackets next to Russian ones in the Russian Far East. The historiography of the CCP simply is too built into the narrative that it is anti-imperialist and anti-expansionist to suddenly change course in its rhetoric. Actions are another matter, of course.

Also, notably, there's no singular American ruling ideology in terms of grand strategy, and individual opinions, even ignorant, racist, uninformed ones not espoused by elites, can have an impact. There are plenty in both the libertarian and the progressive camps who vehemently favor a policy of restraint in grand strategic terms. America did change its entire view as to the country's role several times between 1915 and 1941. China has a unified, mandated singular ideology that the state creates and makes official, sometimes for the sake of consistency the definition of words are changed to aid those efforts (like Mao redefining "democratic" and "the people" for the nation's constitution, unilaterally of course). The CCP's raison d'etre is rooted in ethno-nationalist grievance politics and just as most people in China know little beyond what's seen in the media about the US, the inverse is true as well, and so a lot of people will view the threat in a lot of ways, some blatant in its xenophobia and racism (hell, there's still a chapter in the US Code that's titled "the Exclusion of the Chinese"), some on more nuanced, ideological, liberalism grounds, some on zero-sum grand strategy hegemonic thinking. But it's important to know that CHina wants to portray itself as a bigger threat than it really is and while its citizens are quite used to and are usually cynical about officical messges the state sends out, America's lack of experience in discerning between real and embellished and conjured aspects of official lines pose a rael, atlhough surmountable, threat.

Meanwhile, ask yourself how is it that cryptocurrencies are so big in China, in spite of government efforts to intimidate founders and launch its state-backed competitor. Ask yourself how successful is the long-standing national ban of porn? Or even truly the anti-religion movement, est. 1945. China's real threat is America taking it at face value and not critically enough. They've had a lot of decades to hone messaging.
On some level it makes sense:

-if we succeed massively, you should get an outsized portion of those winnings because of your immediately obvious hard work in the now that paid off later.

If not, then it literally doesn’t matter.
Perhaps in the short term, but regulating Big Tech to the ground is not really in the EU's long term interest. I suspect it will actually setback its own tech industry relative to global players for the meagre benefit of temporarily slowing down Big Tech in the EU market.

> It blows my mind that Google can even have problems like this.

When you operate at Google's scale then everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Google does an amazing job providing high-availability services to billions of users, but doing so is a constant learning process; they are constantly blazing new trails for which there are no established best practices, and so there will always be unforeseen issues.
No problem - the local coffee shop is also subject to regulations and needs to pay tax, need to respect hard fought worker laws (at least in most countries) and needs to respect the law.

If you target EU users, you have to follow EU rules. It doesn’t matter where your servers are.

The move is because the UK is leaving the EU so the EU rules no longer apply to UK users.

Yeah... I considered being a little more "both sides" about it but anyone with an objective view of reality can see how far off the deep end of conspiracies the average conservative has gone. My parents believe Obama was a muslim. They believe in a Deep State. They're open to conspiracies about every democrat in power being a pedophile. To those who might say "Blame them, not facebook" - I absolutely blame my parents, but I also blame facebook for putting links to those ideas next to photos of friend's babies and vacations. This isn't what people signed up for facebook for. They signed up so they could keep in touch with their family and friends, and post updates about their lives. They didn't sign up for it to become their #1 source of news carefully crafted to get them to click and confirm either their worst fears or highest desires, the objective truth be damned.

I recall a comment suggesting financing terms can be impacted once a drop in rental rate is realized.

An apartment with an assumed rental value of $X can sit empty and still be assumed to pull $X.

As soon as they start renting it out for $Y, the financials might have to be re-evaluated, which might prompt extra collateral from the borrower.

I have no idea how reliable this comment may have been, but it's an idea...

I was born in '81 so I'm probably not qualified to say.

I made a site in the late 90's, biology-online.org which I harried universities and whatnot to link to which they happily obliged, ad-free educational content laid out well. Nowadays that kind of solicitation is ignored. All I'm saying is it was easier then than what it is now, and large platforms deciding what gets seen and what isn't certainly doesn't grease the wheels of discovery.

This issue isn't a case of what is technologically feasible.

I wonder how long until Apple installs permanent auditors, etc and institutes the random audits they employ in China.
It's not about Californian standards. Whatever standards they have, the federal government including all the alphabet agencies can still vacuum up that data. (More so since the Brits aren't American citizens.) That was the gist of the recent ECJ ruling against the so-called "privacy shields."
The Big Tech that the EU is targeting is mostly US-based, and the US is an EU ally. The US wasn't banning or forcing acquisitions for foreign competitors like WhatsApp or Line, and the EU isn't making moves on Visa/Mastercard which are arguably just as critical. If the EU was making this move based on national security reasons, I'd also expect them to be upfront about it.
Honestly I mostly throw out the Debian service definitions anyways - when clustering or interacting with Chef or Ansible or whatever, you end up building a lot of ‘smarts’ around a custom supervisor like Runit or skarnet or systemd

Came here to post this. The obvious conclusion is that you are at the very least filtering out people who stopped playing because of game breaking bugs.
The trick is to abstract away what can make the DB tip over. This complicates your servers, for sure, but pays dividends on performance/scale.

How do you do that? https://github.com/graphql/dataloader

However, to be super efficient you need to give up on some consistency. You simply can't have data points which join directly in the db. Instead, you need to make separate parallel requests for those datapoints and let the dataloader be in charge of merging them into larger batches of requests for the db to fullfill.

This can result in some additional latency on a request, but ultimately provides the best way to be able to scale things out.

The benefit of rest is that it's easier to make a really fast on single request endpoint. You can precisely tune your db indexes to match your queries. For graphql to be fast and not kill your DB with a malicious query, you need to introduce that wait time/batching.
I agree, it is a beautiful laptop! I need to remove the write-protect screw from the motherboard to fix the update problems. I haven't gotten around to it yet. When I do that I will also replace the battery, as mine now has a 2 hour battery life and requires 10 hours to charge.

Could you please tell me more about this "oligarchy"? From my contact with the rich it seems like they want to give me lots of money so I could try some of my cool projects, not rule me - they want profit, not costs.

And trust me, being ruled by the 1% would give you way better chances than you got with the 51%. The 1% took money and gave us sci-fi technologies, the 51% took absurdly more money and gave us many problems.

Who's your coronavirus counter-strike leader - Gates or Trump?

The rich don't want to eat you. They don't care about you. They want profit, just like you. They will spend a lot of it on pleasure, just like you. Nobody makes profit in the world you're talking about, it grinds to halt, without pleasure (and freedom is connected with that) there is no point in working.

You can also avoid the 1%. They don't care, and if you're saying there are no other options then you didn't look. Actually I recommend to try - you'll find out that small and middle businesses exist, and they need your support now.
That's another thing: SM is BS. The smiles, the #BestLife, the couples vacation posts all about how #blessed they are to have each other... all of those are masking deeply unfulfilled people and failing relationships about half the time, give or take. A lot of them are just straight up narcissism -- roleplaying at having everything to an audience.

The headline is somewhat misleading. The purpose of this move as the article explains is not to skirt the UK laws that have been "imported" from EU, but to avoid having to comply with both the UK-GDPR and EU-GDPR for UK citizens initially, and to make it easier to operate according to any bilateral treaties between the US and UK.
You need to go through the community for every step of the decision when it's community driven, so I see it's easy for someone to run their own version if they have a clear vision.

You build a site with unique content, decent layout, design. Email other website owners "Hi, I think this would be would be a decent resource for your 'other resources' page / your visitors might like this". (as opposed to ... what other means do you discover new content?)

Only, no one does link pages anymore, because they're fearful of platform algos deciding that their inbound/outbound link profile is toxic.

What I'm after is a more decentralised Internet, less black box algo, where people link to whatever they want without cutting off their oxygen, or having to pay for exposure. Might be idealistic, but FB/Google have certainly been diagnosed as part of the problem.

In my case, getting a good link from harvard.edu really helped wrt search. And obviously a great link from Harvard drived traffic by itself.

Just a hint for the downvoters, that's how it was done 20 years ago. Nowadays due to systemic link building spam, perhaps not. I'm addressing the above reply is all.

The developers essentially transformed the game from a current gen to a next gen title between 2018 and 2020.

Compare the 2018 version to the release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ogihi-OewPQ

They probably should've just come out and said they're not releasing the game for the last gen after all, and people would have been somewhat more understanding.
It's not a drop-in replacement (even though it tries to sell itself as such), it's incompatible in a significant number of ways and throws away part of your data.

Not necessarily on the client side, but it’s pretty common to have a GraphQL layer in between client and one or more REST (or other) APIs that does that.
CD Project forced their employees to crunch to get a game out, missed deadlines, and shipped a game that is buggy on some definition of last-gen hardware. Assuming all that is true: how is this news? This essentially describes every ambitious, genre defining game for the last 35 years. As someone who tearfully tried to play Doom on a 286, I have some sympathy but the level of outrage is hard for me to understand.

In my experience playing the game on a PS4 Pro (does that qualify as a last-gen console? Not sure), I have experienced no game breaking bugs or performance issues that warrant the level of criticism here. Instead I have been blown away by the level of detail and beauty of the world they created and I personally am over the moon with the fact the game that I had been eagerly awaiting exceeds my expectations for it.

Congrats CD Projekt, take a vacation, give some bonuses, let people upgrade their 5 year old hardware and chill out.
Some people spent hours in No Man's Sky too. The cost per hour only matters if you can put up with 'flaws'.

Most expected the latest and greatest, what they got was not that. Every hype/drop cycle is the same, but this cycle is filled with more valid complaints than normal, depressingly.

You never addressed the central question of if you're in favor of censorship then who gets to decide who does the censoring? Who gets to decide what is true or false, or what is misleading v.s. true?

The issue is that different people disagree about what is true and what is lies, and that is the entire point of why we have free speech. Reasonable people can disagree. Who decides which reasonable party gets to forcibly muzzle the other?

A true patriot is someone who will give his life in the fight to protect free speech, and he will fight to protect even the speech he personally disagrees with. The people who are against free speech are the true fascists, even though they ignorantly think they're against fascism. The truth is they don't know how to fight fascism. Censorship ain't it. Censorship is nothing but a cornerstone of dictatorships.

EDIT: Another way to say it is that freedom of speech is required for healthy democracies, because an open debate about political ideas is how societies reach a consensus. The minute you give one person the ability to stop another person from speaking, you have created a dictatorship. Speech is a human right and the most basic of freedoms, and our Founding Fathers put it in our constitution to stop people like you from eroding our freedoms.
This happened to me back in the 90's.

Company 1: The company went bankrupt, founder renamed the company, started a new company with the same name as the original, transferred some assets for pennies on the dollar. It later went public, but collapsed in the dot-com crash.

Company 2: Company raised $50 million during the dot-com boom. After 5 or so years, it still did not have much revenue to speak of. After several down rounds, it was eventually was sold to a major corporation for pennies on the dollar. All common stock was worthless.

Company 3: Still working on it. There have been several down rounds. All employees got their options re-issued at the lower price after a key employee threatened to walk...
I'm an engineer not an educator. Sit in a room with me and a whiteboard and it would come across pretty easily.

Also professional techies doesn't really mean much. If I throw out terms like sybil resistance, economic abstraction, or merkle tree it doesn't really make things clearer for most people here.
It's also wrong. because it's not singular. Makes for difficult reading.
I don’t work at Google, I’m at a different big tech that’s in the news frequently. Sharing inside info on an ongoing incident is a great way to get fired. Big tech companies are way different than startups where everyone can do a bit of anything. There are people whose job it is to handle that communication. You make their job a lot harder if you disclose information. The company is so big that as an engineer you may not know all the factors involved in what would hurt the company long term - undisclosed relevant litigation, compliance commitments, partner obligations, etc.

How much do you hate it as an engineer when sales people make tech promises to customers without asking you? For comms people, engineers leaking info publicly feels the same way.
