Same thing for a router configuration to accept inbound wireguard requests on a home network with dyndns. You set it up once and are done.

I see the benefit of the bounce server if you operate a network in an environment where you don't have the ability to control the router config; however, when you do have the ability to update firewall/router config, then I'd prefer just setting up a domain name and avoid the dependency on a third party server.
Before machine learning, a system (such as resume screening) that was biased was the fault of the rules and people implementing them. With machine learning, people can blame the “The Algorithm”, a numerical black box that can’t be inspected or interviewed. The system and people now claim they are blameless because “the computer can’t be biased“, even though it was trained on data produced by the previous biased system.

No. The game is simply not finished.

The problem with creating a huge open-world game and then stating in all your promotional material that this, "will be the most immersive open-world game we've ever created" means that it has to surpass, at a minimum, The Witcher 3.

However, you paint yourself into an even worse corner with that, because everyone's going to compare you to Grand Theft Auto series as well when you use the phrase "open-world game". And that's a real titan to go up against.

Its clearly obvious this game needed a bare minimum of 6 more months of development, if to do nothing more than fix just the bugs. But it really needs about 12-18 months of development just to add the features they claimed the game would have at launch.

capitalism means creation of capital.

[..]In economics, capital consists of human-created assets that can enhance one's power to perform economically useful work. For example, a stone arrowhead is capital for a hunter-gatherer who can use it as a hunting instrument; similarly, roads are capital for inhabitants of a city. Capital is distinct from land and other non-renewable resources in that it can be increased by human labor, and does not include certain durable goods like homes and personal automobiles that are not used in the production of saleable goods and services. Adam Smith defined capital as "that part of man's stock which he expects to afford him revenue". In economic models, capital is an input in the production function. [..]

i think you misunderstand what capital really means..
The problem is that the doctors who are doing their job completely remotely are getting the vaccine ahead of the people who have to work 90 hours a week in overcrowded hospitals.

While age does matter, ability to control exposure and risk of spreading the disease within the hospital should be at least as important, in my opinion.
There's corruption in our bureaucracies and most Americans are blissfully unaware of it. Whose responsibility is it to inform Americans on this point and why have they failed to do so?

Attribution is not from tracing connections or domain ownership, it's from looking at the coding style, the "Tactics, Techniques and Procedures" and the choice of targets.
In Brazil the government just inflates the values away, and keeps the levels the same :)

Anyway, I am very friendly to the idea of a wealth tax. At a minimum it's more progressive than an income one.

What I don't like is all the attrition that comes from the government having to put price on things, and mandating liquidity. I also dislike government initiatives that increase the fragility of a society.

So, if one gets a proposal that doesn't suffer from those problems, I'm all for it. Until there I do think it's a great academic subject, but not viable on practice.
Ideally, they would realize that moral responsibility to save lives is greater than money in this case. I don't think money would even be a problem, public pressure would be enough if everyone knew what was at stake. The companies capable of manufacturing would still make money by selling the vaccine to governments and people.
> Both Fauci and the Times made an elementary mistake/miscalculations that reflects terribly on trust people place with them.

Well, that's your mistake. Never trust a single editorial board.

I don't personally think Fauci advocating people leave N95 masks to front line health workers reduced trust in him.
Below, I link to the original announcement which was posted to /r/rust. The author talks about the choice of Rust a bunch.
in a state like california, the poor already enjoy negative income tax. they derive more than they contribute in terms of services and infrastructure.
The fact-checker the Times hired zeroed in[1] on this claim (though there were others of import):

>At one point, she sent me this assertion: “One critical reason that the colonists declared their independence from Britain was because they wanted to protect the institution of slavery in the colonies, which had produced tremendous wealth. At the time there were growing calls to abolish slavery throughout the British Empire, which would have badly damaged the economies of colonies in both North and South.”

>I vigorously disputed the claim. Although slavery was certainly an issue in the American Revolution, the protection of slavery was not one of the main reasons the 13 Colonies went to war.

Apparently the new strain is not scary enough to enforce the travel ban in and out of London by law. At the moment the travel ban is advisory only. Make up your own mind.
>The depth of character development is huge, that alone is worth another playthrough, would love to build a character that's built differently than my current one. And most missions support a huge variety of outcomes depending on decisions you made earlier and how you behave.

I'm about 15 hours into a second playthrough and this is just patently not true. There isn't much variety in character building outside of combat mechanics, you pretty much always play the same V as far as narrative and dialogue goes. I was doing a second playthrough just to see how different things could be and intentionally looked for dialogue I hadn't seen the first time, my experience was that it showed how on-rails 99% of the experience is. At this point, I'll pick it up again in a year or two when they've added some content and hopefully fleshed out the open world somewhat.

>I see people going on a murder rampage in cyberpunk and then complain that the police chase that spawns isn't sufficiently realistic. Like......I don't feel like that's how this game should be played

I mean, then why are you able to go on a murder rampage and get in a police chase? It's just a basic level of competence that the game doesn't have. Park your car in the street and come back after the mission to find a huge traffic jam because the AI is incapable of driving around your car. Accidentally hit a civilian during a shootout with the local gang? Cops will just spawn 10 ft away from you and continue spawning until you die unless you get in your car and drive for 15 seconds.

Maybe you're lucky and the way you play doesn't expose you to a lot of the things people are complaining about but it seems kind of silly to dismiss complaints of game mechanics as "you're doing it wrong".
Completing this many quests will definitely cause you to level up.

> can be managed with scientific tools we have had forever

The most important ones aren’t even particularly scientific. If you’re feeling ill, stay home. Wash your hands. Don’t hang around elderly or other vulnerable.

But these are simple and require no exceptional growth of state power and usurping of the right of free people to exercise their labor.

All these pro-labor types have no problem making scientists, politicians, etc. your effective boss.

Rich people deciding they must micromanage their doltish compatriots.
I think that these "impartial organizations" have always had some credibility issues (although it has accelerated with journalism's decline).

The democratization of information brought by social media has led to the "fake news" epidemic, but has also allowed smart people to coordinate and discover instances where these organizations are lying, whereas in the past it would take years to come to light.
The biggesr gripe I've seen is that if it is an intentional design choice, it is completely contradictory to what CDPR promised. Through years of marketing they promised "unprecedented" levels of AI and interactability with NPCs. They promised things like situational police presence/response, etc. But currently, the game has NPC AI that's years behind (games released 5-10 years ago have better AI).

The fact that such features were promised is what is causing people to think (hope?) that these features are simply unfinished. If it is an intentional design choice and CDPR has no plan to improve them, that's a whole other issue with what was promised vs what was actually intended.
I don't, but I do trust the web of media, once there are multiple corroborating reports of the same thing it is vastly more likely to be true.

Few people do this because the comforting lies you tell yourself fall away rather quickly.
Ask HN: How to develop empathy?
A few days ago, I was walking down the street chatting with a friend when he pulled me by the arm and said "Don't step in the dog poo".

I realised that when I was in high school, my friends and I had a relationship based on camaraderie and mockery. It wasn't offensive and we knew each other's boundaries but we would all be celebrating if one of us had stepped in dog poop and we would definitely not have warned him.

How could I get rid of this taste for mocking, no matter how friendly it is?
Without making excuses it is hard to compare though

The NYT wrote the following about the series:

Told over the course of one year in 11 cinematic episodes, ‘Caliphate’ marries the new journalism of podcasting -- stories told with sound design, musical scoring and high production values -- with traditional boots-on-the-ground journalism.

This worries me. Hard reporting may find very boring stories. The need to make them "cinematic" really tempts the reporter and producers to make the story more sensational than they are. In this case, they appear to have made grave errors.

Edit: I would also like to highlight the following twitter thread:

60 days, wow the level of stupidity. Once again another case of good intentions, bad outcomes.

I'm a lead for a company that sends engineering teams into CA for probably 3-4 months total spread out over a year. Now we would have to totally reconsider how that will go. God forbid one of the team got sick for an extended hospital stay. Their travel costs are reimbursed, but what if they accidentally fall victim to the wealth tax (more like wealth trap), would the company be liable to cover it for a decade? How absurd does that sound.

Anecdotal story: I was born and raised in CA up to 2005 when I left for college, so was my father and mother. My entire immediate family has since left for either CO, FL or TX, and more extended family are following. We were all high net worth and have small business's or well paid STEM jobs. My uncle is about to move his entire business out of the state because the level of regulation and taxation is getting ridiculous. The other week he visited my parents in TX and marveled at how well maintained the roads were and how cheap the gas was, with no shanty towns along the freeways. The mismanagement of CA is out of control. Everyone I know that has left is so glad to have left at this point and hasn't looked back. The exodus of high net worth individuals to other states who don't think they are evil money hoarders will simply keep occurring until CA wakes with no money and a federal government refusing to bail them out.

Reading the slate article, I cannot imagine what contortions your mind goes through to arrive at the characterisation you're offering here.

First of all, the whole article is about the editor-in-chief explaining why they cannot and will not consider themselves as the "Anti-Trump" paper, and how they'll teach their readers to live with the fact that Trump was elected (once).

As to "find a racial angle to as much as possible", I believe you're referring to the following:

As Audra Burch said when I talked to her this weekend, this one is a story about what it means to be an American in 2019. It is a story that requires deep investigation into people who peddle hatred, but it is also a story that requires imaginative use of all our muscles to write about race and class in a deeper way than we have in years. In the coming weeks, we’ll be assigning some new people to politics who can offer different ways of looking at the world. We’ll also ask reporters to write more deeply about the country, race, and other divisions. I really want your help in navigating this story.

To interpret "Us[ing] all our muscle" as "doing nothing else" or "pushing it into everything:" takes a strong mixture of motivated reasoning and bad faith.

First, he mentions class along with race, so the focus is already split in two.

Then, he specifies what is meant by "all our muscle": reassigning some talent with different perspectives to the politics beat, and asking others to "write more deeply" about not just race but country, race, and other divisions.
So you're OK with it because it doesn't affect you?
A podcast has a written script just like a story in the paper. NYT has editors and fact checkers.

I really do feel bad for CDPR in a sense, because people have been waiting on this game for 7 years now. Hell, I actually forgot the Announcement Trailer released in 2013, a full two years before The Witcher III.

That said, they probably needed either another 30-50 people working on the game from the start, or they needed another 2-3 years to totally flesh the game out, which in reality is what happened with The Witcher III. The last patch for that game was released in 2018.

To build a huge city from the ground up is a monumental task. Rockstar already has a lot of assets from earlier GTA games available. CDPR had to do this all from scratch. I think a Cyberpunk 2077 II will be a fantastic game in 5 or 6 years.
> VS Code is "chromium, with slightly improved <textarea>"

Ha! I love this, definitely going to say it in public.

Apart from this joke, I asked a well-intentioned question. I have seen people doing magic with org-mode, treating text documents as if they were notebooks, running snippets of code by selecting them, then having the output as text. I would like to do something similar in vim, if possible.
The embedded advertising is is designed to be a single point of data that resets on its own so that advertisers can only use it for fingerprinting. It’s a thin line to protect privacy without scaring away the whole industry and dear god, the Android situation is much, much worse.

I don't trust Fauci because of this. He lied, he doesn't see it that way, he he doesn't seem to acknowledge how it undermined trust.

I also don't like his approach. It's very preachy. That's not what we need right now. We need someone saying "please stay home, but we know some of you are going to see loved ones for the holidays, so we added testing capacity and locations so it's super easy to get tested."
It’s not like no nation in the world has succeeded at containing this virus. Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, New Zealand.

From an accounting standpoint, gross money in be money out is what matters. Per capita makes sense to compare relative benefit, but realistically Montana is small potatoes on the Federal Balance sheet.

Bit late to the party but I really enjoyed this comment and the subsequent conversation. I was given some advice when I was junior and I've been repeating it for years.

Code it read 100 times more than it is written/edited. Writing in a high level language is writing for a human first and a computer second.

As a general rule of thumb a variable name should be as big as the scope of that variable.

* If it's scope is one line it's okay to use a single letter.

deletedDocuments = documents.find(d => d.deleted)

* If it's within a block normally one or two words will be fine.

* If it's one file, 3 or 4 words.

* If it's global it should read like the opening paragraph to war and peace.

The last two are generally indications that something has gone wrong with how you are encapsulating your code and you should consider a refactor. However you will often have no other option in which case always lean towards more descriptive not less.
With time the people we vaunted as enlightened don’t appear to be doing well. In fact it seems they’re vulnerable and now subject to the same seasonal trends of spread everyone else was largely powerless against.

California, Germany, Korea, Japan...

We don’t consider whether the reaction has been worse than the virus, but that’s because there’s so much political reputation, ego, and identity staked on having been “level-headed” about all this.
I think you are right but I have no data only analogy.

It feels like when your new girlfriend tries to buy you a Christmas gift based on your interests, but because you are so deep into the esoterica of your passion it is near impossible for her to get you something you don't already have or have already passed over.

At least with the gift it was the thought that counted. ;-)
Did they actually meet the guy at the time, or know where he was? What is the ethical status of that -- if he was admitting to murders to them, don't they have an obligation to turn him in? I didn't think journalist-source privileged would cover beheading civilians?
Whatever is inside the catch block is by definition the exception handler, so I find the extra function definition to not bring much value. It also doesn't annoy me too much since I can just go to definition, but if it's only 3-4 lines long I would rather have it in the block itself so I can read it at a glance.

> try-catch is generally an anti-pattern.

Exceptions are a very useful part of the language if you use them right (to divert code flow in predictable ways in unpredictable scenarios), although I agree it can be easy to go wrong.

Regarding your juniors, that seems more of a problem of skill or determination than anything. Debugging in Java is relaxing, it has stack traces, a debugger, a nice IDE, no segfaults.. a 15 line function should not be an obstacle. I would even prefer to have more of the code on the screen sometimes so I can get the implementation details in my head .
If you read the article, it gives more details. For example, they did a controlled trial on two groups of students: one group was put on a waitlist, the other group given tutoring tasks. The tutoring group had lower levels of inflammatory markers.
It's not fair to compare home console ports to Nintendo Switch ports, a mobile console with a mobile-grade Soc. Some graphics and performance losses are expected and excusable, depending on whether it's still worth it to you.

Every trailer labeled "Nintendo Switch" shows footage taken from an actual Switch; you can at least gauge how well it runs or whether visuals are good or not. (And there's tech reviewers like Digital Foundry)

Comparably, Cyberpunk's most recent gameplay demo was purely next-gen (and "mid-gen" like PS4 Pro), and reviewers were playing on PC and not allowed to show footage. You couldn't know about X1/PS4 experience until it was too late.

> Anyone who's read up on Cyberpunk knows that it's going to strain even the best gaming PCs, so it should be no surprise that it barely runs on last gen consoles.

This game was announced when PS4/X1 just came out, even if you account for development starting years later that's still within the peak of their cycle. If it weren't for the last 3 delays (only 7 months combined), Cyberpunk would be releasing on those same consoles before PS5 was even announced. 15-24FPS, 540p gameplay would not be acceptable then and it should not be acceptable now.
NYT has been a war hawk for both D and R administration going back at least to 2000.
This is the worrying bit for me.
"Even when confronting some of them, the reporting and producing team sought ways to show his story could still turn out to be true."

It says they didn't seek to mislead the public and yet they were pulling the story at the seams to make it fit.

Journalism should operate entirely on the scientific method. Assume false until you have nothing left to poke holes wit.
Or more modest expectations for a game outside their expertise.
