It’s true that Central and Eastern European governments have lagged behind North America and Western Europe when it comes to sexual freedom and LGBT rights, and that reactionary views are more widespread in those societies. The problem is that the Republicans in America is exactly as misogynistic and anti-abortion as Law and Justice in Poland. It is quite likely that Roe v Wade will be turned over in America in 2021. These things are not static and can change dramatically in a decade. Trying to make this about national attitudes is a mistake that only leads to confusion and misunderstanding.

And with Poland and Hungary especially, the government has become strongly anti-LGBT in response to increased public support for LGBT rights, as part of a general authoritarian far-right ideology. This complicated political development with a homogenous expression of Hungarian/Polish society.

And in the case of CD Projekt Red in particular: for starters, you can’t claim “golly, those humble Poles just have different views than you American folk” when your game is set in America, is clearly about American culture, was heavily marketed towards Americans, and prominently features major American actors. And CD Projekt Red has repeatedly apologized for their transphobic GOG ad campaign. They are not hicks who are unaware of some Ivory Tower concern by elite American liberals. They are in fact fully aware of what they are doing and they made a moral choice.
What AMP could have been, which in my mind would have been a lot better, is some type of open standard that Google offers free hosting for, but does not require Google to use.

The m.foo.com usage has been around for ages in Internet time, it could do with some standardization and tooling to ensure it gives the quickest page loads possible.

Such as using page speed and the presence of annoying elements (ads, etc) as a ranking signal but without forcing websites to use AMP which involves having Google as a proxy.
I'd like to hear more from companies, not consumers, that can't get the computers they want. How do they manage? More reuse? I traded up my computer at work, but it turns out they had to give my old one to a new employee due to shortages.

So how does the LGBT rights relates to the topic we discussed, that is : misogyny and xenophobia?

I think this lack of ability to actually communicate with other people is typical for SJШs. This way they create a mental safe space where they isolate themselves from reality.
If you don't mind saying, what is "highly paid" in this context? I have no concept of what sales people make compared to SWEs. How much (if any) pay cut would I be looking at if I took this route?
Im referring to AMP the caching service run by Google. That is very much a walled garden.

Yes, called Seattle, in their codenames.

For a little while there was one partner who used it for Gluster ( or similar ) storage nodes.

It fit into the model of Arm processors that were performant enough to be the glue between hard disks or flash and a reasonably fast network. But after the PCI lanes were all dispatched there wasn't a lot of compute for applications on top.
Problem is that gluten is used everywhere in the food industry. Also, wheat varieties are engineered to output a lot of it. So at some point our body says "no more".

As soon as you stop eating what's bad for you, your body is going to forget that it once tolerated what is not tolerable.

So it's a one-way street. Once you stop you can't go back. I feel indeed much much better since I stopped gluten and milk-based stuff. But yes, it becomes a social problem as friends don't understand and in some countries, restaurants just don't give a sh*t and blatantly lie when they don't know, it's not fun to spend the evening with a distressed belly after eating what's wrong for your body.
It is a fragmented company in which anyone looking to stand out creates a whole new product. Once they've moved on the new team has no real interest and another cycle starts with them looking to create a new product to standout.

I can only assume something similar in AWS world since that thing is crammed pack with some new feature that tweaks something.

I cant really fault the employees, companies don't have much culture of loyalty anymore. May as well get in and get what you need before getting out.
Not at all how i felt when i completed the game. It's buggy yes but Bethesda have released every single game they have ever made in way worse a state. I should know since i have completed those too. Strange how bugs in a Polish game with links to anti-DRM is getting so much flak when American games that are way way worse haven't for... well since back when a bad game could get 0 rating and not a 6 as they do now.

There were actually rumours a while back saying that Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed because it ran poorly on the last generation consoles.

>Niespielak speaks about the situation on a popular Polish podcast, which has since been translated into English. He basically says that CD Projekt Red was running into real trouble when it came to getting Cyberpunk 2077 to perform on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One -- the latter especially. It's unclear whether Niespielak is referring to just the base systems or the Pro and X as well.

CD Projekt Red even responded to the rumours, basically saying that there wasn't really a particular reason for the delay. Guess that may have been true, considering how many bugs the game still had when it released.

>"No hidden agendas, just working on making the game better."

That part may have not really been that truthful considering what we now know about the console versions and how they went out of their way to not show us any footage before release.

Why is that premise flawed? That's precisely what happens on mobile platforms. At least on desktops we recognize the absurdity of installing an app for every Web page we want to use
I heard something once that stuck with me, which is that you may not change your intended audience's viewpoint but you could change the opinions of those around you. Essentially what that means is that if you are able to lay out a strong case for your viewpoint while also keeping your emotions in check, you might have an effect on people around you (like the kids) who see you as a calm and rational person and therefore more trustworthy. This also has the added benefit of making anyone listening in more receptive to your ideas moving forward, and could (if exposed to the ideas enough) change their views over time.

Sometimes you're just not going to convince someone to stop believing a conspiracy theory; accepting that and trying to constructively argue without any expectation of changing their opinion will be more beneficial for everyone.

FYI (in case it's not clear) I am fully in support of the science behind the vaccine.
I think most of the negative sentiment against Cyberpunk 2077 comes from three sources:

1) Some players expected this to be cyberpunk-themed RDR2/GTA5. It turns out it's nothing like that, it's more like a new Deus Ex game.

2) It just doesn't run on consoles. It's a very inferior experience, unless you're the type who can be happy with 2020 movies in .3gp format in your old Nokia phone. Having watched a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5pHpQqhmR4) of how it runs on PS4, I now clearly see where all this hate comes from.

3) There are some bugs and quirks, depending on your platform and luck. I haven't had any major issues, though I know for some it's just unplayable at the moment. This will likely get much better after patches hit.

On a personal note, I like the game a lot. Yes it has its quirks, and I generally feel it's a less refined/polished game compared to what Witcher 3 was, but still it's an extremely fun, really well-made game. Combat is great, world is enticing, story-telling swings between good enough and great. For one reason or another whenever I launch the game another 5 hours passes without me noticing. FPS camera and general art direction also helps with suspension of disbelief, and the game is as immersive as it gets.

It's a shame that this game now has such a bad reputation for relatively minor & mostly avoidable reasons.

Yeah, on Google.

To be honest I wouldn't mind being an individual contributor in the future but I don't see my income raise much more than that (I'm in Europe and I literally don't know anyone making close to half a million as an individual contributor).

I guess FAANGs (and stock options) would be an option but my friends at Google / Apple / FB are not very happy. Mostly dull jobs unless you're in some lucky team, less flexibility (at least pre covid, now everyone is remote anyway), more politics, similar cash compensation but very valuable stocks (which is how you make money).

I was going to reply that it might be difficult to match the power of something like Jupiter's radio signals. However, it turns out that Jupiter's decametric radio emissions are only about the equivalent of a megawatt antenna[1]. The US air force already has a radar with a peak power of 32 megawatts[2]. So with sufficient motivation, in principle we or an alien civilization could certainly send regular signals like that.

Seems to me that a lot of this is still in basic HTTP. We have 402, and HTTPS. Couldn't we write up a set of APIs on top of HTTP that lets us send crypto or even USD?

Thank goodness. AMP is the reason I don’t use Google on mobile. It just sucks. They could have done a million things that could have improved the quality of the mobile web and they chose one that actively makes using it unbearable.
You can use Chrome extensions to modify Stadia, I used Stadia+[0]. You can force 4k that way even though it's not supported.

I don't have any noticable input lag but I'm on 70/30mbit fiber with 3-4ms ping to stadia.com. Sometimes the stream quality drops for a sec, but no noticeable frames or audio dropped.

I agree with the darkness being to bright, couldn't fix it with the gamme correction either. I have a feeling the 4k does a little better job in that regard. But overal it's not bothering me to much.

> There are still a lot of people thinking Google as a harmless and search engine company.

I've observed this on FB in comments against news articles about the anti trust case. Common theme is "there are plenty of search engines to choose between, and Google's is free so what's the problem".

That said, there are some good (if conflicting) points in there. Large tech companies are worse than startups, usually. Startups become large companies over time, if they don't fail.

He tweeted about it. You should consider anything from Twitter as bullshit until proved otherwise.
> They're not thinking of cases the system must handle

That's not their fault; git's CLI attempts to abstract away the details and presents a falsely simple view of the world with "checkout", "add", "commit", and "push". This works for a while, until it doesn't, and then you have to face the complexity of the graph all at once. If I was going to redesign its CLI, I'd make the graph as transparent as possible.

Well, the books of some authors were rejected by ALL publishers though, and the books of other authors were accepted by sold nothing, so there's that too...
Can Design
I went into a non-tech role and then still “code” as much as possible. It’s terribly liberating as I don’t have to do much of what’s called out in authors complaint list but still has all the fun of solving problems writing code.

It was hard to find such a position but I’ve bumped into quite a few others like me who are “crypto coders” who do their work that’s really only possible with software. In some ways I actively don’t want people to know I can code as then word gets out and I might be “forced” to code.

Although I’m probably a terrible programmer compared to really good ones, I did support myself for a decade or two.
Early access. It’s a great way to release software. CD Projekt missed a trick here by not taking this route.

I don't think every Web site begging its users for money is a solution that will scale out. Wikipedia also has the advantage of not needing to pay its contributors.

This is Czech company as much as Luxsoft is Swiss or Telegram is from UAE.

That’s their one thing...

Indexing is required by so much of their software, even listening for XDebug connections with PHPStorm is not available while indexing. Can’t they let us set the indexing on a lower priority and let stuff work without the index too? (Even if we can’t jump to a specific function, XDebug protocol already has the file and line indicated.)

Otherwise I love their software!

> I like that AMP forced publishing companies to take a hard look at page performance, for the first time in a while.

True and false. It forced companies to pay attention to page performance... and then create an entirely separate version of every page they have, using up valuable developer time that could have been spent making the original pages faster.

Google should (and now/soon are?) assess the performance of the page and rank it accordingly, not force everyone to make two versions of their site. But this is where the sneaky part of AMP comes in: they wanted that side-swiping carousel that meant you never engaged deeply with any one site and instead stayed on google.com (and kept those google.com ad cookies, natch). There was no way to force people into that without AMP.

I don't think your statement is unreasonable at all coming from the common perspective that it is part of the natural order of things that opening a text document would expose your computer to a non-negligible risk of hostile takeover.

Personally I find this a very unreasonable thing to accept. Secure (single user) text processing (etc.) is not a hard problem at all and there is zero reason it should create any security risks.

Crap passwords (and security practices) are not pertinent at all here, unless you also argue that Boeing shouldn't really bother to make airplanes with non-lethal autopilot interactions because being killed by a mis-designed airplane is the least of risks to the typical US citizen's life give how obese he or she is.

The pertinent question is: if you are to design a wordprocessor, should you avoid baking sqlite into the design because of security concerns? I think you should. Sqlite is written and tested very well, but it is written in not formally verified C, and using a memory unsafe language for reading potentially hostile databases poses a completely unnecessary and avoidable security risk.
This is even more doubtful than with Kaspersky. But then again, Russia has the same concerns about Microsoft software, and so on down the line.

People have focused on the poor story and gameplay too.

That said, why do we have to remain purely positive for an expensive AAA game that promised so much and sold at a high price tag? Why should they be excused?
Years ago I worked as a frontend dev for Newsweek & The Daily Beast and saw the other side of this. It boiled down to money, brand, advertising and engagement.

Wrapping the content in an iframe allowed the host to monetize our content by decorating it with ads. This would dillute the CTR on our ads, resulting in less money. Big sites enter into contracts with major brands for full page advertisements, which could include contractual requirements that theirs is the only ad on the page. Serving and decorating a site would create headaches for us to explain why their ads weren't alone.

The iframe also reduced engagement as reader would only read the embedded article and move on. An actual visitor of the site had a far higher likelihood to navigate to other pages. Higher engagement resulted in more money and some brand loyalty. This also dramatically hurt sharing as the browser URL wasn't ours, but the hosts (which I also hate about AMP).

Your site messed with a lot of the ways their business generated revenue, in an industry that was already struggling to adapt to "the internet".
Cyberpunk 2077 was released on PC, Stadia, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

It performs quite poorly on the base PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and basically to get a good console experience, you need a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series, where you'd play the game in backwards-compatible mode (there's no PlayStation 5 / Xbox Series versions yet).

CD Projekt Red never showed any footage shot on the consoles and didn't send out any review codes out for the console versions before release. All of the reviews that came out before the release were for the PC version and even the PC version wasn't allowed to show any recorded footage in their videos (only the publisher-provided B-roll).

The game is also quite buggy and unfinished as well, on every platform. Many were also disappointed by the actual game. There's for example some talk about the AI, which is rather subpar.

Combine the poor performance on the consoles it came out on, the deliberate attempt at hiding the true state of the console versions, the multitude of bugs and glitches and some of the lackluster aspects of the game, and you'll find yourself with a lot of upset people.

As to why Sony is giving refunds, I'm guessing it's because CD Projekt Red made a statement promising big patches for console versions next year. However, in the same statement, they said that people who didn't want to wait could "opt for a refund" and should contact Microsoft and Sony for digital refunds.

However, we later learned that there was not agreement between CDPR and Microsoft/Sony, and they were just talking about the standard store refund policies. In Sony's case, you can't get a refund if you've already downloaded the game. This lead to a lot of people being angry at Sony for not getting the refund they were "promised". On Microsoft's side, people were getting mixed, but slightly better results.

Seems like Sony decided to go with the nuclear option after getting bombarded with refund requests after CDPR's statement about refunds.

I'm arguing that China was the first country to propose that treatment using HCQ might be effective. I'm NOT arguing that it is effective. I'm merely supporting my statement about the timeline which someone challenged with a wikipedia link. Someone called that false, and it's not - it's history.

Work on that reading comprehension, I never called it evidence of efficacy.
