Death Stranding, many who felt the hype then played, wrote it off as a walking/delivery simulator, but miss how well, and in detail, the story and gameplay melded. Sure it could feel at times that it was simply about walking to point A/B, but with that came the challenges and points being made throughout the game. That alone challenges can be overcome, but there will be more obstacles, and the weight of burden (literally and metaphorically in the game) will crush one's morale, motivation, and ability. Together, with the right motives, we can accomplish more to benefit everyone. But the ones who only build or help for self gain/their reward system, will ultimately be corrupted and left empty by their own doing, as their structures will whither unless they exhaustively maintain them to gain pointless intangible/abstract rewards/social scores.

The satisfaction that comes with collaboration and helping one another is where one finds true satisfaction with this game.

It's also just a lot of fun, challenging, and beautiful in general, aside from the story :p

You have to make your own decisions, but in most cases of steep decline it's not a good idea to join the selloff. Put it in perspective, you made a speculative venture and it didn't work out. Maybe just turn off the computer, think about other things you're grateful for, and check it again in mid-January. In the medium- to -long term the education may be worth the cost, assuming you reflect on this later. I know it's little consolation, but the situation is likely to improve, and you'll recover from your losses even if the currency becomes a writeoff.
Hard disagree. The hype machine around these "scriptures" is (ha) biblical. Ridiculously effective mass brainwashing has resulted in these mediocre stories being promoted while other, better, ones were discarded, fearing their heretical nature. I say waste your time once, then never again. Especially the Quran. Very, very shallow. Just my opinion, get over it.

Docker. After using it with almost every web I've developed since 2015 I think they delivered on what it promised to do. It's not a 100% quality of life improvement since certain things take a bit longer to do vs not using Docker (starting containers have a penalty, installing a new package dependency takes a long time to build since layers aren't diffed for changes, etc.). But overall I've found it very much worth using.
I absolutely agree. Non-owners are typically paying more in rent than a mortgage would cost, yet they can't get a mortgage because of the absurd rules brought in after the 2008 financial crisis. Even after paying for this expensive remediation, the flat owners will still be ahead of renters. Why should tax-paying renters bail them out?

WiFi kills fiber for me.

I can only get ~400mbps out of my 1gbps connection since all of my devices are wireless, and this is still so fast that I cannot justify the work of adding a physical cable to my setup.

I can already stream 4K video in WiFi. What would I have to lose the freedom to watch it anywhere in my house?

Ok, I have a Model 3 and I've autocrossed it and driven it on windy mountain roads, and I have done the same with many BMWs including my own.

And the roadster I was referring to was the original one, not the one that, as far as I know, doesn't exist (though, I can't say I pay a lot of attention to Tesla news because the fanboyism is an absolutely toxic combination of .. well, fanboyism, and automotive ignorance).

I don't think the Model 3 is quite as fun as a manual transmission non-turbo 6cyl BMW 3 series. I get a lot of tactile enjoyment from shifting, I enjoy the sounds of a nice engine, and I enjoy the power delivery of an internal combustion engine. Of course, all of these things that I enjoy are actually things that make the vehicle slower compared to a dual clutch or modern automatic, or a boosted engine of a similar size, or an electric motor with no gearbox required to keep the engine near its powerband; they're all anachronisms.

The extra mass of the Tesla is less of a drawback to me over (say) a turbo BMW 3 series automatic, vice comparing that turbo automatic 3er to a manual BMW 3 series without a turbo. None of these cars can really truly be called "nimble", but I'm quite pleased with the balance, cornering ability and especially outright grip of our RWD Model 3 (with Michelin P4s tires replacing the eco crap of course). It's all a sliding scale, but yes, my primary objection is putting the Teslas in a class entirely below all German sedans. On a mountain road I'd happily take the Model 3 over an A4, even if not the "right" BMW 3 series for the road.
I'm saying too many people don't even consider the idea of "Could I possibly quit playing video games?" I've found an enormous amount of liberation in using that line of thinking. It's a kind of Zen "Eliminate the Inessential" freedom that comes through this attitude; "I just don't use facebook, and let the leaves fall where they may".

This can be a surprisingly useful tool at times - I've definitely used it to advantage when doing creative coding so that the graphic or animation is displayed behind my terminal and I can see and edit the code at the same time as viewing the effect without switching windows.

Of course, a second monitor can do this too and without the downsides, but sometimes you're away from your desk and it's a nice workflow.

I'm an atheist and fear the void, but not a lot.

However I believe strongly that everything has a cause and be it randomness or pseudorandom once it started it made sense how it kept going. If I made a wrong decision it was still the only thing that could have happened. ANd probably it was even the best choice at the time.

I don't know how to change as a person, but for me it's like this:

I'm OK with being average in some ways and I don't have to be remembered either. I enjoy life while it lasts, I don't have big plans, I don't collect many keepsakes. I simply optimize for being a decent being and enjoying life (life of course washes you elsewhere sometimes).

If I die tomorrow it will be a bit short, but I had a good run I guess. I try not to waste thoughts on things I can't influence.

In the end nobody wants to die, it's a always a tragedy and even fear might get to me, but as long as I have no reason to believe my end is near I'll be fine.

About the aging body: I'm fine as long as I don't have too much pain and I'm still sharp in the mind. For pain: I guess morphine will do in the worst case, so that's a solved issue. For a deteriorating mind: I hope there will be a cure against alzheimers, but if it's coming I might plan an exit strategy and try to execute it while I still can.

The only thing that does bother me a lot: pissing a way my life with a full time job. But even that: has to be right now, can change, I'm working towards that.
They do, occasionally it doesn’t wobble enough and looks obvious but done right it’s not perceptible. As a tip do it physically close to someone and catch it high so they have a worse angle to see the lack of flipping. For a real “performance” there is significantly better methods though.

I came here for this one. Between the platform convergence and incredible productivity you get with tools like Blazor, I could not be happier. The latest C# language version is also really nice w/ the additional functional paradigms, pattern matching, et. al.

There are certainly a few rough spots on non-windows platforms if you want to port legacy .NET Framework apps, but for most enterprisey use cases, .NET Core is an amazing fit.

The performance also constantly staggers me. AspNetCore is trading blows within the top 10 slots of the techempower composite benchmark these days.
Yes, this must be it. Real-world UI design aims to be as easily understandable and usable as possible, even if it falls short. In movies, they want to convey that the hackers/astronauts/super heros have deep expertise. It would be frustrating if you saw them using a familiar Windows Start Menu because you'd feel like you yourself could just step in and do their job.

They could (and for hacker movies, sometimes do) just use a command line, but then it's hard to convey what they're doing to an audience. For a similar reason, important text in a fantasy UI is impractically large, so it's visible when the UI itself is only a fraction of the movie screen.
For some reason I'm reminded of the story of the early British rail company, which, running out of ways to extract value on ticket prices, segmented their train cars into 3 classes and took the roof off the 3rd class (subjecting it to rain, unpleasant exposure) to scare 1st class passengers into not buying too cheap a ticket.
Now that the elections are over: does anyone think they were underwhelming?

This is exactly the opposite of how I feel about hamilton. And lin-manuel miranda in general. As much as hip-hop is fundamentally a "telling" art form, I feel like Miranda's text is far far on the "show don't tell" spectrum in terms of it's emotional content, say, compared to 90s west coast hip hop. (See also moana, the lyrics in that are very tell-not-show). For a more intelligent fictionalisation of that era, I recommend Burr, by Gore Vidal.

Free speech platforms: People have tried to create content platforms where the premise is "we're just like <insert social media site>, but you can say whatever".

e.g. parler, voat, gab, etc...

The problem is that because they are not actually providing any technological innovation over competitors, and are basically just a low-rent clone of twitter, facebook, etc... (except you can say what you want), there is very little incentive for mainstream, sane people to migrate away from the current mainstream platforms. So these new platforms become a cess-pool of people that were too fringe and kicked off twitter, and ultimately the platform becomes unappealing to mainstream users.
I enjoyed the shrines, but not many of them were hard once you realized that they all follow a Chekhov's gun pattern. Anything given must be used in the solution, anything that reacts to one of your skills (magnet, etc) must be important.

Hmm...
Yeah I understand that they are doing only a categorization of the ads they are showing, without the marketers being the ones to choose their targets, and so from the Google point of view there should not be any data leakage problem...

I see that in theory you could game this system to play on the type of ads URL you send to each category, and thus try to indirectly get information about the IPs that visit your site, but I'm not sure how it is a viable strategy, how much mitigation is already in place by Google against that (surely they have thought about it), and how many marketers are ready to go theses lengths or even if any has already done it (Cambridge Analytica did it on FB, but arguably that was an easier system to game).
Excuse me but you started off with “A is B” and I pointed out that well actually A is constituted of things that are actually some B but mostly C and a lot of D. Too which you respond “oh but I believe fervently that the part of A that is B will win out” and there’s really no point in getting wrapped up in such circular idiocy - as I have just now done. Doh. Happy Christmas.
The idea is the AI developers should be first of all aware of the potential problems, I would say that maybe AI should be done by competent engineers that studied this domain including data science,statistics and ethics and maybe this engineers should be responsible similar how other professionals can lose their right to practice if they don't respect the rules.

The excuse that the data is garbage so is not my fault is terrible, detecting if the data is garbage is part of your job IMO.

My criticism applies for AI people that work on projects that have large consequences or affect a large number of people, for small we can keep the "no warranty disclaimer"

Fitbit would be so miniscule.

sounds like BS to me.
Yes, although as the article says, gmail was the exception rather than the rule in that most other products did not use customer documents and data to personalize ads. In any case, that was three years ago, and it hardly seems likely that Google will go back to that practice given the increasingly sensitive views of the public toward the use of customer data. It is not my claim that Google would never have used Fitbit data in this way if it had acquired them in the past, only that it seems unlikely that they will on a forward-looking basis.
Android phones and the majority of Windows 10 devices support WiFi Direct which allows direct discovery of another device without phoning home.
> Marginally so, under certain use cases.

My reality disagrees. I live in a place with a lot of snow, and pretty much see cars that have sliden off the highway every week. All of them are BMWs. And they are all required by law to have winter tires at least.

Winter tires do help, but there is a huge difference between RWD with good tires and 4 wheel drive (notice also that 4WD and AWD is not the same thing, and there are also different qualities).

(it just so happen that here, BMWs are the most popular rear wheel drive cars)

Dithering is usually best done in a linear space; the mixing of light is modeled as a physical rather than a perceptual process. This is especially true when the pixels are small and one can imagine a low-pass filter removing the high spatial frequencies. When dithering to huge, chunky pixels that can be individually perceived, different considerations might apply.

I would bet that you have been in front of a VT220, or VT320, or a real terminal that could emulate one of them.

Nortel Meridians for example (yay, ld21) use a serial terminal, usually read DEC, usually a VT220 or 320.

But there are WYSE (and others too) terminals too, which usually can emulate a 220, and so on.
The cars are good though. I owned one once, and it drove like magic.
You can also just pay YouTube for unlimited ad-less videos (side from the sponsorship pitches that are so frequent nowadays)

It's honestly a little worrying that people have the nerve to complain about ads if they can remove them entirely just by paying the fee.

Speaking as an M2 owner (and an E36 owner before that), can confirm it's an excellent looking and performing car--arguably the last "enthusiast" car BMW has produced.

I'm also pretty annoyed with the current direction, and if I get another car (performance or otherwise) it's very unlikely to be a BMW.
The bit where they say not to make choices on your own likes and dislikes or previous solutions. It just nonsense. If you have previous solutions for Machine Learning in Go and you found it complete nonsense to do, then that is a valid learning experience. If you hate a programming language, choosing it to work in for a prolonged period of time is completely bonkers.
Thanks for sharing (I recommend taking a look at his GitHub repo [2], where he nicely described the game and his approach).

Some time ago I had a similar project with BetFair soccer matches. I assumed that the number of goals from each team is given by a Poisson process. Then, I used the largest market (Win/Lose/Draw) to estimate this parameter. With this information I could estimate the "fair" odds of more exotics bets (like e.g. team A will score 3 goals more than team B), which were often mispriced, and then use the Kelly criterion to estimate how much to bet.

All in all a nice project, but... at the very end -just before deploying the bot- I realised that the BetFair Exchange is not open to Germans, so I wrote a blog post and open sourced the code. Still, a nice learning opportunity :-)
My guess is part of the issue is people remembering that 0 is neither positive nor negative and neither prime nor composite and naturally extending it to even vs. odd. But even here, one has to be careful about what definition of "even" you're employing. = 0 (mod 2)? Has two as a factor? One less than an odd number? !(x % 2)? I remember my confusion when I found out that the answer to "is 0 a natural number" was "it depends" and I still run into people who insist 1 is prime, which I think is insane. A lot of these things depend on the norms of the mathematical community discussing them.
The Apple Watch has a "Breathe" app which by default tells you to spend a minute deep breathing twice a day for relaxation/de-stressing. It times this randomly (often inconveniently) and it isn't really connected to what you're doing beyond, I believe, knowing not to do it during the middle of a workout, and it's very easy to turn off.

I'm going to give the OP the benefit of the doubt and assume describing that as "the companies in California are even telling you when to breathe now!" is facetiousness.
The question, "Is zero a natural number?" is more ambiguous than you think.

Back when I was in grad school we informally polled the mathematicians in the department on whether 0 should be a natural number, and got about an even split. The key factor being what area of math you specialized in. So, for example, people studying logic and combinatorics thought it should be because the empty set comes up a lot. But people studying number theory and combinatorics thought it shouldn't because they are always dealing with things enumerated and starting at 1.

When I went through school, I was expected to memorize that natural numbers start with 1, and distinguished them from whole numbers that include 0. But this is an entirely arbitrary distinction. As https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_number says, there is no general consensus on whether 0 should be included, and there are a variety of unambiguous terminologies that are preferred for cases where it matters.

A person accused of "unintentional racism" is, in my mind, not guilty. There has to be an intent to disparage behind the comment/remark for the speaker to be racist in act.

Tell someone who said they felt "gypped" that they are disparaging Gypsies and they might have no clue that they were doing so. Are they nonetheless racist?

I give them a pass. But I'm white so maybe I am not sensitive enough to these issues.
