The reason we occasionally do experiments on Matrix (VR, 3D video calling, low-bandwidth, P2P and Cerulean) is to try to remind folks of the broader use cases of Matrix beyond chat and to encourage contributions and experimentation from the wider community, so these ideas can evolve outside the core team. In the case of Cerulean, it's also as a test jig to test out threading in Matrix for use in Element and other clients.

Meanwhile, just because one person (kegsay) spent a few weeks putting together Cerulean doesn't mean that the other thousands of people in the Matrix ecosystem were idle. For instance, Fractal merged matrix-rust-sdk support 2 weeks ago, which implements full E2EE (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/fractal/-/merge_requests/626), so your complaints about pantalaimon should shortly be irrelevant. (Plus it seems pretty miserable to complain about pantalaimon's dependencies; the fact that the project exists at all as an E2EE stopgap is unusual - XMPP has no equivalent for instance, as far as I know). In terms of other clients supporting E2EE: weechat-matrix, Mirage, FluffyChat, Seaglass, Nheko, Gomuks, Daydream and more have support. Complaining that there are clients which don't have E2EE is like trying to denounce the Web because there are browsers out there which don't implement HTTPS.

Element Android still has work to be done, as you've pointed out, but it is growing rapidly (https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/graphs/contribu...) and if development continues at this rate you should see perf, encryption bugs (almost all caused by https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/issues/2518), and even the "wonky file picker" and "off look and feel" and "captioned images" fixed.

Ironically, Cerulean is the first Matrix client to implement captioned images (after a fashion), so your captioned images on Android might benefit directly from Cerulean's work there...
> In concert and other event tickets it's even worse. Some tickets have been known to sell at 20x markups, Rammstein concerts or Wacken tickets are usually outsold in a matter of hours and end up on ebay the day after.

That's because there's built-in scarcity by virtue of physical limitations of a venue.

If your stadium only holds 15,000 people, but your city has 11 million or more like, say, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, you can easily find 15,000 metalheads. Probably an order of magnitude more.

People keep talking about "artificial scarcity" with these GPUs, but its not artificial. The foundries that make these are running at max capacity 24/7. They are trying to get these cards into the hands of the people that want them, there's just simply not enough foundries and capacity available.

There isn't some grand conspiracy in this case. In this case, this is the effect of increasing consolidation of the computer industry as a whole.

Look back the 1980s at the amount of hard disk manufacturers. There were easily 10+ companies... Western Digital, Seagate, Connon, Maxtor, Quantum, etc. Now what are there? Three? Seagate, Toshiba, and Western Digital?

Honestly your description is an absolute 100% game wrecker as far as I am concerned. At least Mass Effect 3 tricked you into thinking your choices mattered until the very end, whereas this crap ruins the facade at the very start.

Basically, if you care about NPCs and dialogue being believable, then you have to be the street kid. Pretty lame

Where did the idea for a Shadow Request come from?
I share this sentiment if it's worth anything.

I'm playing on PC. I'm playing at 1600p with a 3090 and a 10900k, so I think it's valid to say I'm playing the "best version" of the game technically speaking.

The bugs are not why I requested (but was denied)_a refund, the writing is just truly terrible.

-

In the entire game there are about 6 dialog choices that matter. Every single other piece of dialog will result in little to no change in the course of a conversation.

It's incredibly jarring because it means often times you choose option A, and the character pays lip service to option A and immediately starts spouting option B!

And from a higher level, the writing is some of the most lazy I've ever encountered.

Nothing is left to the imagination. The writers didn't seem to have any concept of "show don't tell". The whole first act is constantly giving away it's finale in the most insulting way. It almost makes you not want to finish it when you add in how little effort was put into making you care about how it ends...

The next act is just a terrible mess that I'm sad to see Keanu Reeves got involved in. You can tell he never got into this character because the entire time it feels like he's reading a book while doing the voices for it...

There's so little internal consistency in the story. I don't want to start spoiling things, but it's like the cast is just constantly being shuttled onto stage to do a jig and shuffled off.

I'm am 99% sure most players will get the same ending because there's only one character any effort is put into fleshing out, and coincidentally, the "life choice" that they match is also the most fleshed out one... it wreaks of the idea this was a game with one titular timeline with a bunch of half-assed alternatives tacked on at the end.

And I really do mean the end, because of those 6 or so choices that matter in the game, almost all of them happen in the last 20 minutes of the game. The pacing is just so painfully bad, I couldn't believe it as it was happening.

This is not a good RPG, this is not a good action game, it's not a good anything.

It feels like CDPR worked on fun ideas for 7 years then tried to distill this disjointed mess into a game in the last 1 or 2.

I’m not very vested in a solution at the moment, but if I had a set of users < 500, the flat pricing of Magic Link kind of makes more sense to me, I don’t want to be worrying about how many times they sign in.

That being said, I can imagine there are people who would prefer a per sign in model, it’s just a level of granularity I don’t care for.

Good luck!
Not a JetBrains employee, but which features are you specifically looking for? I've never found a single option in the IDE that's available through a menu that cannot be assigned a shortcut.
it depends on the situation. that’s why you early exercise when possible. if you’re going to wait to exercise after vesting and the out of pocket costs are too high to exercise then it doesn’t make as much sense.

but with RSUs it’s just like income, which again isn’t a great tax treatment especially if you live in a state with state income taxes.

The landscape around sales seems to be changing.
Specifically Square Enix and From Software are putting their games on sale extremely late or only lightly discounted.
Final Fantasy 7 and 8 (21+ years old) are still 13€, Sekiro (1.5 Years old) is 40€.
I waited 3 years for Dark Souls 3 (mainly because I didn't care enough) to be on sale for ~20€.

I remember I got Dark Souls 1 for 3€.

Just some anecdata.
I think publishers are aware that their games are valueable longer longer, and they don't need those $5 buyers really.
Perhaps this only applies to very popular games.

TLDR: I wouldn't bet on this being on sale for $5 ever
“The team, which was also behind the earlier strategy, adapted it for swarms by getting drones to broadcast their trajectories over a wireless network. That allowed the other drones to choose routes that avoided collisions while staying in formation.“

> and in particular, that they are entirely inherent to the language.

But... this is true. The design of the language is biased to make slow compiling across the full pipeline.

Is possible to get into a shout contest about this :), so just look at what Pascal(Delphi) do and how absurdly fast it is, despite the fact is still a "batch compiler".

So in the presence of pascal (that is even more complex than Go, to be a really close to C/C++ in capabilities) is clear that Rust is MADE to be slow.

And to the point, I used more than +12 languages already, super popular things like this:

https://endler.dev/2020/rust-compile-times/

NOT exist for Delphi. The "how make delphi compile fast" is to just use delphi. It will compile fast.

> it's such a […] stable product

Am I using a different IDE? I'm dealing with bugs in their refactoring engine almost every day (at least in Python and TypeScript); I need to invalidate the cache every other week because something something is not working; it's 2020 and I still can't configure my IDE deterministically through text files (which regularly results in situations where building the project works fine for colleague X but not for me, even though we seem to have the same config, so I end up having to delete the project and create it again). And don't even get me started about CPU usage…

That's not to say that Jetbrains IDEs don't provide incredible value. They do. But I still think they leave a lot to be desired when it comes to stability.
Anecdotally, I don't personally remember the launch of The Witcher III, but I read a comment that indicated it was also initially buggy.

I picked up the GOTY Edition some 3 years later during a frequent sale, played it, and enjoyed it. It's still a frequent top-seller on Steam according to SteamDB, and it's a 5-year old game.

Unless CDPR drops the ball in a major way, I'd expect Cyberpunk 2077 to have a similarly long-tail of popularity, meaning most people who will eventually play Cyberpunk 2077 have yet to do so. There are also a lot of video game players who don't follow video game news.

Not comparable, your choices actually "matter" as you play the game, until the end where it's revealed nothing you did mattered.

In this game the lack of choices mattering is apparent from the beginning. Most gamers may not care but for a certain type of gamer, this is a game ruiner.

For example with ME3 again, I had fun the entire way through the game, assuming my prior games' choices mattered. And there actually were different dialogue options, references to past choices, etc.

The ending was awful, and I will never replay that game ever. But if my choices didn't matter even while playing, before the ending... well that's just an awful game to a person like me. I would never play a minute of a story-based, choice-based game where I know the choices don't matter.
Editorializing aside this makes me nervous. I knew someone who did some troubleshooting for the Navy way back when they were flying F-14's when for a long time standard checklist pre takeoff was to check an indicator light and if it persistently flashed without readily obvious explanation to tap it to get it to turn off and move along. A couple of inexplicably lost planes and pilots later; he ended up finding out that lamp was part of a fire alert system, and the tapping of the button "taming" the indicator was actually the lamp filament getting knocked out and rendered non-functional. If a fire subsequently popped up during flight then the lamp that was supposed to light to indicate it wouldn't be able to.

He always felt bad because like the day after he submitted his report, but before it got out to the fleet and procedures were updated they lost someone to just that.

Point being: exercise caution when ripping out pieces of your machine's artificial nervous system. Especially when making it "business as normal" as in a checklist item, when the action is often done mechanically, and seperate from the understanding of what the ramifications of doing so as a whole are. If they've at least articulated that to the pilots in addition to telling them to do it, I'm fine with it. It just always makes me cautious to see that approach at work.
More than just holiday sales -- this point in the console generation is typically the fattest point of the sales curve. The next generation consoles are generating a ton of interest, and the previous generation is at its largest install base. Delaying a year means you miss out on the hype cycle of the new consoles while the last-gen consoles quickly fade in mindshare -- only "legacy" versions of annualized sports franchises sell on that older hardware.
Even for the staunchest capitalist, covid has clearly outlined that we need medical research that is separated from market forces. After sars 1 was controlled, research in this area was all but dropped - despite virologists warning that it was just a matter of time before... well, this.

Medical research needs to be driven by what can help people, not by what can make the most money.
> The OP’s point is that it is highly anecdotal. I have dozens of hours and I only ran into a single bug that forced me to reload. Everything else I have seen have been cosmetic issues.

Cosmetic issues in a game that is supposed to be a 3D immersive world are really bad issues. We shouldn't be writing them off as minor.

We should expect better for $59.99 after years of development. We should not normalize the expectation that new games will be half-baked. New games should be finished, and they should work properly on all of the platforms they claim to support.

If you want to play unfinished games, there is Steam Early Access. All other games are supposed to be finished when they are sold. And if they don't work on the PS4 they should not be sold for the PS4!

So, something that always bothered me, and my admittedly ignorant understanding of QM as a non-physicist. I understand that the quantum state of a particle can be teleported, and that classical information must be passed to observe the particle and collapse the state correctly.

My question is, if we can't observe the particle, how do we know that that particle is entangled with the original one?
I'm not sure what's factually incorrect, as you mention the article says they support it. But their default instructions are very vague about it.

Papertrail for example, their primary syslog configuration page: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/paper...

Way down they say "Optionally, configure encrypted logging with TLS." but don't mention it in the intro paragraphs, or that it's a best-practice, or that people should do it... just that it's "optional".

I mean, if you believe the FED then you have to just dismiss this as inflation. But I think it's a lot more complicated.

1. Basket of goods doesn't include investment goods. Economists have some fancy schmancy reason for it (basically you get your money back when you sell), but I don't buy it.

increasing monetary mass dilutes the purchasing power of the dollar. No one would argue that inflation doesn't increases the price of financial instruments - everyone correct returns for cpi. But we're correcting the returns with a metric that denies that those instruments can have inflation.

Meanwhile, what have we seen in the past 20 years?
Price of housing (not included in the cpi) and financial markets have seen great returns. This despite the '08 financial crisis.

2. Printing money isn't the only thing that affects the price of goods. The cost of producing them does as well. Inflation is hidden by the dismantling of industry.

Well what have we done over the past 30 years? We've outsourced everything to countries that exploit slave labor. So if (as an example) the dollar is half as good, but the price of labor goes from 50% to 10% of the purchasing price, most of the inflation is now masked. Does the CPI track that my 1.1X more expensive sweater was made with slave labor? Or does it just track that the hourly cost of a handyman (local labor) has stagnated?

Meanwhile things that cannot be off-shored have become expensive. My house. My education. My health care.

3. Hidden inflation. It is universally agreed that appliances made today are of piss poor quality. They're poorly made, with cheaper parts, and thinner sheet metal. How do you track that properly?

Food packages have become smaller (rounding down when doing unit conversions is an easy freebie). A 125 g. bag of chips is a 110g. bag of chips.
> I think what the "legacy" news media failed at more than adapting was effectively communicating the time and effort that goes into serious news gathering and reporting.

Among many parts of the public, the perception (that IMO is correct) is that serious news gathering and reporting is the rare exception, not the norm.
It certainly seems like most news pieces these days take the form of uncritically reporting anything the government proclaims as fact, thinly veiled activism, and meaningless outrage click farming.
The respectable journalists out there with a shred of integrity and effort put into their reporting are very rare. Maybe a Glenn greenwald (who is an idealogical opposite of mine) is a rare exception. But I’d struggle to name more than like 5 journalists i think are even largely interested in truth, willing to take some risks, and have a bit of integrity.
The business model of journalism has changed (outrage based click farming) and the profession’s respectability (to me) has changed with it. Journalism was respectable before you could measure clicks and therefore profit.
As a user, I've found tons of problems with AMP sites. I don't know if this is the website's fault or AMPs, but frankly I don't care.

Some issues:

- back button breaks

- difficult to share links

- when sharing with others, the URL prompts distrust

- parts of the page broken (this happens on a lot of Reddit amp pages where I try to expand comments and nothing happens)
The only problem in the relationship is the financial aspect - being trapped at a job I hate to pay all the bills.
This is hilarious and awesome.

But at first I thought this was a serious app to be used for recruiting. I actually thought it was a clever way to screen candidates quickly for their coding ability. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't that.

We had digital data storage before we had the internet. Back then, if you wanted to share digital information with someone else, you had to save that information to a hard disk (or similar) and physically transport it to their location.

Then we invented the internet and now you can transmit digital information between digital computers over wires / EM signals.

Quantum teleportation / entanglement does the same but for quantum state rather than just digital state, which allows quantum computers to communicate with each other. Without this technology, quantum computers would not be able to communicate with each other over a network. So you still need to use wires / EM waves in order to transmit the data, but the data you are transmitting is quantum.

Technically you're not actually sending qubits over the wire though, you're sending 2 classical bits per quibit which are able to tell the other system what each qubit in the target system is supposed to look like, but effectively you can pretend you're sending qubits over the wire.
I threw out the $5 figure because I recently purchased Doom (2016) for $5 at a sale, which is a AAA title that sold for a premium on release day. I wouldn't have bought it if it weren't so cheap because I'm not usually into gory shooters.

That's fair, I assumed they were just avoiding premium prices. Still, some people really care about wireless charging and waterproofing and if so, I think P5 is a great option.
There's a strong social benefit too. Being able to more comfortably spend time with friends and family you care about, even if they can't be vaccinated yet, seems worthwhile in itself. There's also the related consideration for dating, etc.
