It looks like after some point his story had enough public interest that free publicity became a factor in the trades, and that definitely helped him climb the value ladder in the trades.
The reason this is happening is probably partially because a good part of their food supply has been human waste from fast food restaurants and garbage cans but such a significant amount of people have been indoors for so long that easily accessable high carb foods that we usually unknowingly supply are now gone.
So none of the underlying layers matter much for the large and intermediate scale structures?
People think digital artists just press buttons lazily and the computer does all the work. And everyone knows all mechanics will take advantage of your ignorance. And of course, why hire a photographer, all they do is press a button, and why won't they give me all the originals so I can run them through filters and ruin their reputation by crediting them with it on Facebook...

Now that I think of it, IT people and mechanics suffer from the exact same stereotype where people don't trust anything they say and assume they're just lording their knowledge over the poor, uninformed user for status/money.

I'm sure the others also suffer from stereotypes.
Sure, but you are still relying on trust, and you are choosing to limit yourself to things released by your chosen distro. This is the same as if you were to pick a specific docker publisher that you trust, and only use their images.
FightCade2 is the most popular. Takes some work to set up, but has a lot of old games. No NES. Plenty of arcade though. There was Kaillera back in the day. I don't know where is stands now.

It's not impossible that British efforts along those lines are even worse because we know that they did play with (not quite as "move fast and break things" as the CIA) LSD, but there's no real pressure or habit of properly declassifying material from the depths like this (MI5 do publish a little, SIS do not at all, ever... no matter how hard you ask). What little MKULTRA material exists was preserved almost purely by luck, IIRC.

I also don't even want to imagine what the Soviets got up too - they'd probably laugh at Enhanced Interrogation.

i thought the M1 was a SoC with a unified memory architecture?
Though there’s still the possibility that they could add it into the detailed specifications page, or perhaps even a link in the footnotes of the specifications page? Surely that would be a better match for the target audience that would care.
That just seems insane to be running black on any old system python. Why don't you just wrap it in a proper dockerfile?
It would be nice if we could deprecate some of them instead of embracing those "cute" standards.
The absolute best part of this entire wacky story is where he says on air "I will go anywhere in the world except for Yahk, British Columbia." so someone from that area calls him the next day.

You also have to have plenty of trust in the creators of the applications. Using Docker isn't really different, especially when the creators of the applications have also provided the Dockerfiles. What you had before Docker was just as much based on trust.

>Someone has to produce the goods that we all need. If "a significant portion of the population" is off doing leisure activities how would we survive?

We already live in a version of this world, minus the leisure. An enormous portion of economic activity is redistributive, shifting wealth from one person to another but not creating it.
Indeed! As a software developer in Hong Kong, I learned that the "month of birth" and "day of birth" are optional fields - some people who fled from Communist China to Hong Kong only knew their birth year, and the ID card just shows something like "1946" instead of a full date.
What do people with such a grasp have to say about it?
This is fascinating. I can understand why the Homebrew devs might make the decision, but it seems the right way to do this is just to, e.g.,

cc -dM -E -xc /dev/null | less

Anything with a preprocessor macro is supported on all OS configurations that you are targeting. You can see, for example, that __SSE4_1__ is defined, so SSE 4.1 is ok to use without checking it at runtime with e.g. sysctlbyname("hw.optional.sse4_1", &enabled, ...)

I have always thought that it is worth a bit of paranoia to try and do the check for optional features the “correct” way, whatever method the OS advertises (like sysctl for macOS) rather than doing something like cpuid. After all, every once in a while it’s possible to run into a configuration where the CPU does support some particular feature but the OS does not, and if you rely on cpuid you could be up shit creek without a paddle.
Sometimes you want a cursor so you can resume where you left off without worrying about new entries that may have come in which would otherwise mess up your pagination.

Sometimes you want position-based queries, because you explicitly do want everything to be positional.

Sometimes you want to combine the two techniques, e.g. if you jump to the middle of a large, ever-changing list, and then want to retrieve the next batch of results after wherever you happen to be.

I like the design that JMAP ended up with <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8620#page-45>: you can specify a position integer, or an anchor ID and optionally an anchorOffset integer. An anchor is a restricted case of a cursor, being the ID of an entity in the result set rather than an opaque type that could embed other information (such as coroutine addresses, thinking back to the old days of HN), but has the notable advantage of being client-controllable.

(Because JMAP is very much an object synchronisation protocol and not just an API for objects that don’t record their history in any way, like your common-or-garden REST API, this is also paired with change tracking so that you can be notified when the set of entities matching the query changes; this is how Fastmail’s webmail (probably the most-used JMAP client for now) updates its message lists for mailboxes (roughly `Email/query { filter: { inMailbox: inbox } }`) and search results (roughly `Email/query { filter: { text: "foo" } }`). Such a principled approach to changing state is extremely valuable for supporting live updating of a UI, and pretty much essential for offline support.)

IANAL, but my understanding is:

If you are writing the code as part of a contract for them, it is usual for them to own all rights to the code as it is a "work for hire"...once the contract is fulfilled. That is, they have to pay you.

If you are using code you have already written and own, it is more normal to grant them a license as part of the contract. You might be able to negotiate that for code you write under the contract as well, but that would depend on the details.
What do we know about the vaccine's safety? Could it be the case that it has rare harms that take months or years to manifest? I am really curious, because from where I stand, the majority of people are rushing to get the vaccine and so forth without even questioning the safety of it, but I am skeptical (perhaps due to my ignorance). I would personally rather wait years with it before I feel comfortable getting it. As far as catching COVID-19 goes: I am pretty sure I had it, as someone I live with was tested positive. We were asymptomatic.
Often, tests aren't announced until just before they happen. Musk's twitter seems to be the primary source for this kind of information from SpaceX. Otherwise, some unofficial/fan sources[0] have pretty good information.

As someone who feels like I've wasted most of my 20s since graduating university (turning 29 in 2021) with a job(s) I don't see any future in, man this hits hard. My lack of risk taking, and an unfortunately timed death in the family in 2016, really are me sitting there watching these figs dry up. Damn.
Funny, I thought the Stargate was at least 28 stories below ground...
Sure. From Wikipedia:

> A derivation of Dr Woo's stochastic terrorism model was proffered by an anonymous blogger posting on Daily Kos in 2011 to describe public speech that can be expected to incite terrorism without a direct organizational link between the inciter and the perpetrator.[31][32] The term "stochastic" is used in this instance to describe the random, probabilistic nature of its effect: whether or not an attack actually takes place. And, although the actual perpetrator of a planned attack and its timing is not under the control of the stochastic terrorist, their actions nevertheless serve to increase the probability that a terrorist attack will occur.[33] The stochastic terrorist in this context does not direct the actions of any particular individual or members of a group. Rather, the stochastic terrorist gives voice to a specific ideology via mass media with the aim of optimizing its dissemination.[33]

So if 'stochastic terrorism' is speech that will probabilistically inspire acts of violence when it reaches a large number of people, why can't this be generalized to crimes other than terrorism? If the (now banned) subreddit r/shoplifting publishes messages glorifying shoplifting to a large number of people, it will likely inspire some portion of those exposed to commit these crimes themselves. Does that make the subreddit a form of 'stochastic theft'?
Even if all you want is plain HTTP, when HTTPS breaks it's mostly the fault of the device, and the product is still experiencing planned obsolescence caused by the manufacturer. And it would be stupid of a site to allow old versions of TLS, since that compromises the people depending on HTTPS; if there's going to be an insecure access method it should be HTTP.

And don't be so dismissive about privacy. Crypto isn't just for banking.

Also it's not really a capitalism thing, capitalism is too busy trying to sell you an update every 2 years to care about the difference between 8 years and forever.

That definitely changes the calculus, but as I've mentioned in a different comment there doesn't seem to be literally any microarchitectural documentation to read, so I (don't own an M1) have nothing to go off unfortunately.

I'll make a wild guess that getting data to the neural engine is still probably not quick because I assume it's some kind of statically scheduled type affair (exposed pipeline?). We literally seem to know almost nothing about it sadly.

For a long time, I thought about this in terms of different choices.

Truth is, one could make those choices and arrive at an outcome leading right back to this very question.

Unable to resolve that, I started to think about the scope of human experiences.

If I were to do it over, I would do it as a very different person. Roll the die, and go, same as happened this time.

Even then, it could be very similar...

Age of Empires 2 Definitive edition is thriving. I play regularly with a group of friends, and found out this week that several of my colleagues play it too. DE really is AOE2 in its finest form: Fixed netcode, responsiveness, matchmaking, and continuous patches and balance tweaks.

It's a 20-year old game that gets monthly patches, and is active enough to match you to opponent[s] in minutes.

Compared to SC2, I miss the asymmetry among Civs, and ability to pull off surprising strategies effectively. (eg Thor rushes, and going straight planetary fortress+Raven etc). AOE is more predictable by comparison.

Thoughts on if AOE2 DE players are mostly people who played the original, or if there are newer players? The pros seem to be a mix.
> side bar: is there documentation for the instruction set or abi for that hardware?

No. Apple stans, food for thought.

I would hope there will be something soon although it's Apple so not much.

Edit: Still basically no, but https://github.com/geohot/tinygrad/tree/master/ane has got the instruction format apparently.

You can attack an instruction set blind (https://recon.cx/2012/schedule/events/236.en.html).

The story is about easyJet which is definitely not a US carrier.

There are always exceptions to the rule, of course. But we're talking about domestic travel in general. AirAsia, for example, is a different beast than Singapore Air or EVA Airways.
Why aren't they checking if the CPU supports AVX before using it?!
My dad got brain cancer when I was 25. That event accelerated our decision to have kids, and as a result our first daughter was born a few days after I turned 27.

The reasoning I came to is that given the probabilities of how children are conceived, if my dad didn't have cancer, our first child would have been someone else than our daughter.

So basically wishing anything different for my dad would be wishing that my daughter didn't exist.

And I guess that made his death easier for me to accept.
We've just made it a first class part of our workflow. Colleague tells me he's made a round of edits; I check the history to see what they are. Promotion committees also use edit history to validate whether "coauthors" really are.
I went to a specialized high school (as a semi-anonymous account don't want to give too much detail), and as such more than a few of my close high school friends went on to be famous in their chosen profession, and a couple starred in some fairly well known movies. I ended up going to a top university, and one of my roommates ended up founding a successful internet company you've all heard of. My first job out of college was at tech company with a "boot camp" like training program for new recruits. One of my close colleagues eventually co-founded a financial trading company that made him phenomenally rich in his late 20s, and another colleague founded a well-known unicorn.

Perhaps because I was inculcated fairly early in a competitive environment, it's hard for me to look back and not woulda/coulda/shoulda it. Mainly I'd like to ask some of my successful ex-colleagues and friends (some of whom I'm still in contact with, so wouldn't be too hard I guess) if they have any significant regrets. One on hand they must know how incredibly lucky and fortunate they've been, but of course their lives have their own trials and tribulations. And my life is good, I have close friends and family, quite mundane, though at least a good mundane. But still, I find it hard sometimes to not at least wish for a future reincarnation, one where I have the natural talents or extra drive or whatever that is needed to grab that brass ring.
I was surprised by that as well, though in retrospect it makes sense.

I wonder if such vehicles even had a transmission, or if that was a technological advance that came later? And if, before differential car axles were invented, anyone tried solving the same problem by driving two wheels with separate engines?

With modern electric vehicles that lack a transmission, having a separate motor for each drive wheel seems like a reasonable thing to do now. I assume someone's already built such a thing; the Cybertruck is planned to have a 3-motor variant, though I don't know if two of the motors will share a differential or if they'll just each go to a separate drive wheel. Also the Rivian might have separate motors per wheel, I'm not sure.
Well, there may be a kernel of truth, perhaps one day Apple will, for example, launch a product that can only be held within say a 350 degree arc for whatever reasons claiming it’s a superior solution. And that may be correct.

Hopefully if that’s the case the limitations and conditions of usage will be clear.
There is a huge difference between a smart TV and those “boxes”. I trust Apple, Roku, and even google more than smart TVs producers. They also provide support, have a demonstrated interest in providing security updates, and at least in the case of Apple don’t profit off spying on you.

Smart TVs have been repeatedly caught spying on people, both indirectly by reporting what you watch, and directly with microphones. They’ve been caught injecting their own ads into content that you’ve already paid for. They seldom, if ever, get any updates, and even those that do get less long term update support than generic android phones.

This is why people hate smart tvs

I would support regenerative braking, but I do not think it is a massive contribution since braking happens year-round, but overheating is predominantly a summer problem!
Yes everything gets hot, including the clay, but the clay does not spontaneously heat up, the heat has to come from somewhere and what I am suggesting is that its being reradiated from trains which have been solar irradiated on the overground section, which is why the problem did not happen in the early days of the Tube when it was all underground, and does not happen on Glasgow’s, Warsaw’s or Prague’s networks which are solely/predominantly underground.
The principle is that the solar barriers stop the heat entering the tunnel so there will be no need to carry heat out!
As a master-level player of SC2 and once a top-1000 ladder player of Brood War I would also love to a see this genre evolving and staying fresh.

I think that SC2 should be studied for its qualities but also for its mistakes.

I think it is overall an excellent game but at the same time I feel that it was not as well designed as SC1, even if patches improved it and fixed some glaring errors over time.

A few things that come to mind:

- Free units, they are extremely hard to balance and can easily lead to stale situations, and in my opinion they never feel right.
And to be clear, projectiles are not free units.

- Spell casters able to stand a fight on their own and be massed, again it does not feel right and lead to imbalance/abuse. Spell casters should be support units, fragile and not scalable to a whole army.

- stackable aoe damage, because it leads to death ball armies that can be extremely difficult to engage, with somewhat difficult to read and seemingly random outcomes. A good aoe design is the SC1 inspired Psionic Storm, powerful but not stackable.

- Hero units, there is only one hero unit in SC2, for no good reason.

- Population cap, in SC2 the population is capped at 200 supply, this is an inheritance of SC1 technical limitation, but it has a strong impact on SC2 late game, not for the best as players tend to invest in defensive structures to compensate, leading to potentially static/ boring games.

Amazing wisdom. In Judaism we say that bad things that happen to us are enablers of the good things. Whatever one believes, it's a really good attitude. Thank you for sharing your story.
Probably wouldn’t change a thing.

Everything that has happened to me; good and bad, has made me who I am today.

I’m cool with that. I’ve had a pretty big share of bad, and there’s lots of folks who think I “haven’t lived up to my potential,” meaning that I didn’t give them what they wanted from me.

At this stage in my life, I am strangely satisfied. Never thought I’d be happy, the way I am, but it’s a funny old world.

It could have turned out a lot worse. I am truly blessed.

Reminds me of Sliding Doors. Interesting movie.
AOE2 Deathmatch mode? Thanks for bringing up Brutal Legend and Sacrifice - genuinely fun, interesting games.
The distance and the slope, I'd say.

Life is like a long mountain trail in a great migration. There are criss-crossing paths everywhere, and you have to decide which to take. The goal is to climb until you reach the summit. There'll always be valleys and hills, so you won't always be going up. But each step you take forward, and each foot higher in elevation, is your life getting better. If you can say that most of the time you were moving forward and higher, to me that's a well-lived life.

Could you have taken a shorter path and gotten there faster? Sure! But the longer you're on the path, the more time you have to smell the flowers, listen to the birds sing, see the trees swaying in the wind. Maybe you're content to stay exactly where you are. But I think most of us should keep climbing, because there's always new trails to see. Who cares how we get there as long as we keep going up.
The Chinese government is clearly not great, but I see blaming them for covid as a scapegoat for the massively bungled response in the US. If China did a good job instead, it's still be unlikely to have contained the outbreak entirely within it's borders. It's still each countries own responsibility to protect it's people, and the US had no one to blame there except itself. Sure, China deserves some blame, but I think saying that it's the "real" story is dangerously understating the massive, ridiculous, incompetence of the US response.
