I disagree with him by calling it failed. the death rate is not significantly different compared to previous year and most importantly life is still pretty much normal.

>Already provided both, but we're not going back into that until you have more sources, preferably reputable ones that actually agree with you.

You haven't provided strong evidence so far, all the evidence you provided are inconclusive and insufficient.

>That's... not a compromise

What do you mean not compromise ? You wanted mask, I can't support forced mask but still willing to accept voluntary mask. Mask doesn't work but if you want to wear it then its your choice, I think its silly but I won't be against it. That's a compromise.
Some year ago, the obit for a CCNY philosophy professor attributed the counter-example to him.

This may be one of those quips that is simply untraceable.

They could have put in the moon at two orders of magnitude less than Earth, and the Great Pyramid at 4 to 5 orders of magnitude greater than a blue whale.

No, it only means that any vulnerability present in the system stays on your phone forever.

This doesn't really work as well as one would like. It's not really related to sqlite it's just that expectations of file system behavior (locking, operations having completed when the system says they have, etc) are just flimsy fo many network file system implementations. All SQLite can do when it can't map the file as it would normally is basically upload the new version of the file, and not write it in place anyway. That behavior is just as easy to create by the application developer.
It's really annoying that I can't consume information from social media sites without also opting into all of their slot-machine like mechanisms. Twitter is designed to pull people in and the main website contains a lot of gamification mechanisms that are designed to keep people on the site.

For a while already I had the idea of building a "diet social media" software that would display information from e.g. Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and other platforms without gamified addiction mechanisms. Turns out this is impossible to do as all platforms have drastically restricted the way you can consume their data.
The sqlite documentation advises against using it in that scenario:

If there are many client programs sending SQL to the same database over a network, then use a client/server database engine instead of SQLite. SQLite will work over a network filesystem, but because of the latency associated with most network filesystems, performance will not be great. Also, file locking logic is buggy in many network filesystem implementations (on both Unix and Windows). If file locking does not work correctly, two or more clients might try to modify the same part of the same database at the same time, resulting in corruption. Because this problem results from bugs in the underlying filesystem implementation, there is nothing SQLite can do to prevent it.

A good rule of thumb is to avoid using SQLite in situations where the same database will be accessed directly (without an intervening application server) and simultaneously from many computers over a network.

That's not a library. It's just a tool to extract the protobuffer schema. It obviously saves doing 99% of the work. Once you get to this point, reverse engineering a gRPC API is easier than reverse engineering a JSON REST api.
A part of the explanation might be that some copyrighted materials are considered part of a countries culture, and they don't want their culture to become diluted by the material becoming public domain. In other words, it's an attempt to keep cultures from merging or dissipating. You can argue about whether that's a good or a bad idea.

Reminds me the first time I visited Dartmouth campus not so long ago and went to the Baker Library, I saw the real one ! I then met with Petra Bonfert Taylor working at the Thayer school of engineering and we produced this award winning C programming with Linux MOOC (on edx.org) Dartmouth is so inspiring !
It's always good to be aware of biases in people viewpoints when considering their advice but I'm not sure that's that applicable in this case because he's advocating people don't do what he did essentially.

It's also as far as these things go pretty mediocre and obvious advice. The majority of the games industry today is focused on using and customizing a reasonably small set of tools rather than writing their own.

Further engines like Unity and Unreal actually have pretty big penetration outside of games making them even more valuable skills to have.
Fortunately, I rarely risk anything if the board fails. And if it does I always try to understand what caused the failure.

I never considered flux compatibility between my solder rosin core and the flux paste and never considered measuring salt residues on the board.

I almost exclusively use the same Kester sn64pb37 rosin core solder and MG Chemicals #8342 RA rosin flux paste. Both must be cleaned promptly. Now, I don't bother cleaning if I don't intend to use the board after I test it (like when I do prototyping) but anything else gets a thorough wash. I use various PCB cleaners, typically ethanol (not IPA!) based and then rinse boards in electronic water. I never saw any oxidation on any of the traces unless there was some external contamination.
Is the author sure that it's a bug and not just Apple holding back the new update for the MDM-enrolled machines for a week or so? See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/defer-feature-up... for a native feature in Windows to defer feature updates by X days specifically (quite cleverly, it does not defer security updates, only new feature updates).
They deployed a bugged service worker long ago (beginning of 2020 or something), but service workers can be hard to replace because they tamper with requests and cache. "Technically" it's been fixed in production for a while, but it doesn't propagate so many still have the bug.. Still seems very strange to me that they allowed this situation to happen for such a huge (in traffic) website.

Not sure how exactly the service worker was broken (I didn't have the curiosity to check in devtools, and now it's gone), but I had this exact same issue and saw other people having it right here on HN, and this was the way to solve it too.
I think it is more the other way around: feature parity to aid switching to rather than to reduce loss of shre due to people switching from.

Those of us using Android who care that much about the privacy aspect have ways to implement it (a little more Heath Robinson like, but still...) using a VPN and alternative browsers. Many in the Andoid camp are likely to see this are preferable to switching platforms and paying more for their devices (unless they run with expansive flagship android units in which case cost is less of an issue in the switch). Those that don't care that much, don't care enough to make a difference.

On the other hand Apple providing extra privacy protection is a significant extra bit of friction that would stop people moving away from iDevices onto Android ones, even amongst people who don't care enough to make any effort beyond not switching and/or don't really understand the issue much if at all.
Thanks for sharing your experience. With anything under 6-8 hours of driving, if a car, train or bus is available I'd take that.

First off, getting to the airport is guaranteed time lost since airports are nowhere near where I want to end up. Second, the security theater. Take off your shoes, belt, get X-rayed.

Next come the delays. The worst is when you can be stuck on the tarmac for hours and you can't even get up to go to the toilet or stretch your legs. If a train is stuck you can get up and walk around and if you have a car you can take a break.

Definitely the most inflexible form of travel.
In a strange sense, I feel this joke is not too far from reality.
I have this weird problem where bitsavers.org never works for me. I think they've blocked my ISP (Aussie Broadband), or some routing issue, etc. It isn't a new thing, it has consistently been like that for many months. The trailing-edge.com mirror works fine.

Maybe you are facing a similar issue?

Those ports are not important, they are for my client to connect to my server, which happens entirely within my LAN, but how do I go about SENDING mail if outgoing connections on ports 25, 587, and 465 are blocked ?

Basically, I want to send a mail to you, your server is listening on those ports because you're a normal person, and didn't rediret port 80 to be your SNMP incoming.

So, I try to make a connection to your domain:25, my packets won't even leave my ISP, my outgoing connection is simply dropped.

Try it, are you lucky enough that you can ? If you speak a bit of SMTP you can send email from telnet like that.

I played it on PC. Honestly it didn't feel buggy at all. Especially compared to Skyrim or similar. You can get rare weird physics glitches, I had one situation where I seemingly teleported/blacked out (not sure if that is a quest) but nothing outstanding, and sometimes bodies don't fall to the ground in a proper way but generally it felt very smooth and bug free.

I am running it on a high end PC, maybe the bugs manifest more often on a lower spec PC?
I don't pretend to have much of a grasp of what the article is describing, but it sounds very "frictionless spherical cow in a vacuum". I'd be amazed if this technique could be applied to something as messy as turbulence.

For lengthwise compression I didn't mean anything as abstruse as relativistic effects, just normal physical compression. If you accelerate something by pushing on the back of it, it's going to squish to some extent.
This is wrong. Paying for a service does not automatically mean the service doesn't take your personal information.

* You pay for Windows but Microsoft still tracks you.
* You pay for iPhone & Mac but Apple still tracks you.
* You pay for Android phones but they still track you.

And so on..

I don't understand the shift from "usage tracking" towards "usage tracking for ads". The goal should be no tracking at all instead of "we don't track you to show ads".
Off topic, just came to know Microsoft has its own RTOS, Azure RTOS.

Anyone have any experience with it?
Cookie banners are not a result of the GDPR.

They're a consequence of the ePrivacy directive from 2002.

The reason why they're more prevalent now is because GDPR 1) made people aware of data protection issues; and 2) made people more scared of fines.

The game’s been in development for 8 years

They announced that their next project would be based on Cyberpunk 2020 8 years ago. They only actively started development ~4 years ago. But yea, the original release date was way before the PS5 etc. where even announced.
A company cannot be forced to service users. It can also decide to stop operating entirely, and die. A company can be forced to not use particular criteria to decide to service specific users, an idea with a long history - a common example is skin color.
Bookmarked for reading later, I think I suffer from this. I normally can’t fall asleep before 2-4am, even if my body is physically tired I often feel like I can’t turn off my brain, once I’m asleep I sleep well and wake up naturally after 6-8 hours. It does seem cutting off screens an hour or so before bed and melatonin sometimes helps.
Yeah but this would to me be an argument against chess in general, whether pre- or post-AI.

Math is better, I feel like I can really contribute stuff that no one else would otherwise.
I think it is inevitable that there will be some kind of "digital currency" in the future. The idea is just so useful, and obvious.

However I do not believe that bitcoin itself will be that currency, for the simple reason that people are hoarding it, schilling it, and gambling with it rather than actually spending it.
If you want get into the nitty-gritty, Richard A Steenbergen regularly gave a talk called "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Optical Networking" at NANOG. Last year's was about two hours if you have the time:

> The network effect is real, but it is not the only effect. Twitter and other tech giants now think that their role is to protect the world from information they deem wrong

>The U.S. National Security Agency issued a rare “cybersecurity advisory” Thursday detailing how certain Microsoft Azure cloud services may have been compromised by hackers

Yeah, I had to get a separate number just to please twitter's automation.

Their approach is somewhat understandable - stopping bots is a hard problem, phone number in theory represents a material cost and a hurdle to someone who wants to rapidly register thousands of new accounts.
> mad set of different driver versions/-implementations

Just support the lates driver version that Nvidia/AMD/Intel recommend. Same as on Windows.

> desktop environments, windowing protocols, audio protocols

All abstracted by available open source libraries, notably libSDL. Besides, Windowing is a laughably trivial part of a game and audio isn't that much more complex when it comes to the OS interface.

The decision to port/not port to desktop Linux is not a technical one when the renderer has already been ported to Vulkan and the rest of the game already compiles on a POSIX-like platform.
Psychosocial Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic: Large-Scale Study on Social Media
It removes a huge incentive for usage tracking.

But there is a huge difference between usage tracking and usage tracking for ads. Usage tracking of the kind Microsoft engages in (outside of Bing and their ad focused usage tracking that is), is largely telemetry used to change their product.

Usage tracking for ads, however, is used to change your behavior both within the product and outside the product.

Usage tracking for ads is significantly more damaging to humans as individuals as well as societies.

Learn deeply basically means being able to make amazing tools from the bottom to the top. Be an expert in the tool means being able to make amazing things with it without necessarily being able to make the tool yourself. So low level versus high level.

You're confusing the upcoming ePrivacy regulation with the existing ePrivacy directive - one that's been in force for 18 years.

Just like people thought that the data protection was a new concept when the GDPR was created, ignoring the fact that the Data Protection Directive had been around for decades.
Anecdotes are evidence now.

Obviously he’s the master, but it doesn’t strike my tin ear as great advice. Your manager will probably appreciate that you can tell your teammates tips and tricks for fit or whatever, but they usually just prefer when you build things that have business value.

Yes, I'm sure. MDM does have a feature to defer updates (which is a mess on its own) but that's not what is happening here. The MDM can see the update, but attempting to install it fails. The logs clearly indicate that the client tries and fails the download.
Can Video Games Capture Emotion?
Nope. It often means users are too reflexive to not figure out something in one second and leave one star review. And it's about survival in the app stores where everyone else has 4+ rating and few of them are certainly bots.
we actually have something like this, but it's a too-specialized system, so it's not possible to send "mail" to people unless you're a big enough company to register for that privilege, and users can't reply via the system, so it's a receive-only solution that's also incompatible with standard technologies.
I think you should first and foremost check if there's some bias. I'd go and see the actual data before concluding anything from this.
You need enemies to control the masses. Otherwise people will be too preoccupied with trying to figure out why their life is so hard and government isn’t doing anything to help them.

well, I think "learn deeply" there means really learning from the ground up, while you seem to associate it with investing time (which you need to do anyways). I think he argues that for employment in IT it might be better to invest time in learning build systems or webframeworks or firewalls, than learning from the ground up (starting with C/TCP-IP). Bad analogy: if you build a house, you study engineering (or carrying stuff), rather than theoretical mechanics. Once you are involved in the business, the deeper levels will inevitable show themselves at some point.

I think this has its merits (and actually I think, it suits me), but without any guidance your measurable and marketable progress is slow. For example, I build my scientific softwarestacks with spack, debugging build failures. Net result is, that I got into a random project of a colleague, fixed his C++-Makefile without having more than basic C-knowledge.
Perhaps you should ask your new colleagues if there are any books they'd recommend?
You assume that all those people don't know and don't understand how to interface directly.
