my hot take on RTS : I like the genre (or rather used to like, the last one I loved was SupCom) but I wish somebody would make an RTS with no/minimal macro. Controlling the builder/peons units is a chore at best and I would love to see it streamlined a lot. For example just ask for a building to be built instead of finding/assigning builders to the task and micromanaging what they will do next.

Dungeon Keeper comes to mind as a game that starts to go in that direction but it can be argued it is more a (very) fun management game than an RTS.

Probably not doable, we would lose a lot of expressivity in such a change. However, if there is a new RTS coming, I personally would love to see an innovative take on the genre, closer to Brutal Legends 2 / Sacrifice 2 (or as another commented posted, something emulating logistics would be another interesting avenue) than to the inevitable Warcraft 4 (for ios ;)).
Uh, yep? What's your point?
Tesla can seemingly issue new shares and the public market just buy them all up at a huge valuation; I think that's what is meant by "unlimited resources".
The article is about a company which fell for a fraud like this. They did not lose a lot of money, but they lost a lot of credibility. I, for one, found it interesting that all the investigation and due diligence didn't catch the fraud before investor relations published their press release. The checks and balances definitely failed in this instance, and I am sure this is not the worst case of such fraud in the history.
Slightly different but similarly annoying situation happened to me. Was flying back from Birmingham to Berlin, via Dusseldorf (with Eurowings, booked via Lufthansa). There was bad weather at Dusseldorf so the outgoing flight was delayed by an hour or so. Knowing that any passenger arriving at Dusseldorf would arrive at ~8:30pm, and thus miss their connecting flights for the day - they still insisted on people flying there. We arrived, and were stranded - obviously. Their agents closed the booth and tried to leave, but after a bunch of discussion they then wanted to put people on buses or trains to various parts of Germany overnight. A few of us demanded accommodation and ended up staying in the nearby hotel. After like 10 emails back and forth over the next week with the airline they ended up refusing to pay compensation, so I raised a claim with the consumer arbitration board in the country I live (soep-online.de). Two days later I get an email from the airline saying they'll pay out. It seems so utterly scummy that they try lie and deceive consumers out of their rights - how are there not strict punishments in situations where airlines mislead and screw over consumers?
Its usually a two way street to developing a relationship with your kids.
I've gotten a lot more out of studying failures. Especially other people's failures. People who are honest with themselves can warn you around the mistakes they made, but people who succeed rarely have much luck identifying which selection of choices got them there.

I think the reason is that success is usually cumulative: each little win builds on the last until it's obvious you're going in the right direction. Those wins often depend on random or temporary things you have little control over. For example: CED was the perfect format for the decade RCA started developing it in, but it took until VHS redefined the market to finish it.[0]

Meanwhile one mistake can send everything tumbling down. Study enough mistakes and you might know enough of what to avoid to stay afloat long enough to find the right chain of wins.

Elastic search now recommends using “search_after” instead of scrolling for deep pagination, although mechanically they’re pretty similar to use
That's an interesting metaphor because I picked it up somewhere else, but it might well be that Hunt and Thomas actually coined this phrase in "The Pragmatic Programmer".

If you think of orthogonality in geometry, you can describe any N-dimensional vector space through a set of N orthogonal vectors (say the unit vectors in X, Y, Z). "Orthogonal" in this case means that moving something along one of those (say the X axis) won't alter its position from any other base vector's perspective.

In the same way, "orthogonal implementations" is a way of saying that the things are independent from each other. You can find their explanation in the Google preview for the book [1].

So, say you write utility code for a couple of applications, for example: Message transmission and subscription management. Then, you should try and keep both as independent as possible from each other, so that as a downstream user I won't have to pull in or even "massage" both just to use one of them.

As I wrote before, that sounds totally obvious when said out loud; yet I constantly find new examples where someone found a way to unnecessarily "complect" [2] multiple things.

> One deficiency you can see is that it’s impossible to generate a “previous page” link

It is perfectly possible to have a "previous page" link. Your pagination needs to support "before" cursor semantic, allowing a consumer to retrieve the N items before the row identified by the cursor.
For loops, while loops, and recursion are all induction. Functional programming is just a style of programming, as in, algorithms which are designed and proven using induction can be implemented in imperative or functional styles.

Just don't connect your smart TV to the internet. Those saying running a dumb TV with a dongle is just as privacy invading are wrong. Some smart TV's use content recognition to send back everything you watch to the manufacturer. Viewing times, gaming, music, air TV. They can see everything your screen can and it's terrifying.

With dongles, they can only see what the dongle can. Not my gaming sessions or watching local games over the air.

Beware, some smart TV's will also try to get an internet connection over HDMI.
For me, (very) modest fortune and essentially zero fame seems to be the ideal situation. Like a paid off house, a nest egg that throws off $10K/month, and only family/friends know who I am.
I'm not sure I'd reach for this in some of the use cases over snap/flatpak/appimage for GUI applications. For some terminal apps, maybe, but even then I usually just user my dockerfile or docker-compose file to manage these needs.

What's really needed are better/more articles about how to clean off the cruft left by docker after running your builds locally. Especially when you do things like update your base image versions from node:12 to node:14 etc.

There are certain problem domains where university level math is required.

I know that, but are you going to read the database schema at "analysis time", i.e. before runtime and likely in a totally different environment from the runtime environment? IMO "reading the database schema at runtime" and "ahead-of-time static typing" are incompatible desires, except in a language that supports runtime access to the type checker.

That's not really interesting per sé.

Looking at the composition of the GDP China "accounted for 28 percent of global manufacturing output in 2018. That puts the country more than 10 percentage points ahead of the United States, which used to have the world's largest manufacturing sector until China overtook it in 2010."

Which is a serious bind on future growth.

There are also geopolitical issues that could radically change the equilibrium in the future.

> You can statically link whatever you like, you just can't distribute it as one work.

How do you distribute it then? Let's assume your statically linked binary contains both closed-source code and GPL/LGPL code.

> One of the crazy one executable docker containers strikes me as one work to whatever extent a static linked binary is.

I'm not a lawyer, but that's not my understanding.

A docker image is a glorified collection of files with some metadata, just as a tar file is. I think it's broadly agreed that you're allowed to distribute a tar file with unmodified LGPL dynamic libraries in it without having to open-source all of your code, and I think docker images are treated the same way?
> Is there not piped water?

Not, there is not. All water is currently delivered, and the nearest municipal water is over 15 miles away.

Arranging for a water pipeline would not be cheap, but moreover would take a lot of time. Desalinization plant is plug and play; pipe is going to require a lot of bureaucracy besides a pretty fair capital investment.

Since the stuff could well have melted itself into the snow and ice very slowly, and might have moved laterally considerably, I guess you'd effectively have to skewer a giant, largely vertical glacier down to the rock below, with rocks of all sizes peppered in, using heavy machinery that doesn't exist yet, at high altitude where just surviving at all is a challenge, with lots of very extreme weather, avalanches, rockfall, crevasses, icefall... in a remote area that is hard to access in the first place. That's absolutely herculean. That would almost certainly cost lives. That would be ridiculously expensive. Chances are that Pu won't become a big issue during your term, and it's just one of what must be hundreds or thousands of gambles any Indian (or any other) government must be taking on issues that possibly might become huge liabilities with some small-ish likelihood. Meanwhile, launching such an endeavor because of a few kg of poison at the very end of the world, because it might somehow endanger 200 millions, that's going to be brutally tough. That's a danger that is very far from intuitive. There are legitimate reasons to argue against the endeavor being worth the cost. Probably not the hill PM Modi wants to die on.

Taken from the article (probably after an update):

Many people have asked, could viruses also use the Ψ technique to beat our immune systems? In short, this is extremely unlikely. Life simply does not have the machinery to build 1-methyl-3’-pseudouridylyl nucleotides. Viruses rely on the machinery of life to reproduce themselves, and this facility is simply not there. The mRNA vaccines quickly degrade in the human body, and there is no possibility of the Ψ-modified RNA replicating with the Ψ still in there. “No, Really, mRNA Vaccines Are Not Going To Affect Your DNA“ is also a good read.
The legitimacy of governments and of courts is primarily by belief - eg the courts are legitimate because most people believe that they are. There seem to be a lot of people out there who don’t understand this concept and don’t understand that western societies are not immune to mass unrest or violence or even insurrection. In particular it seems like courts and legislatures are failing at their most basic tasks in many western countries. I hope that in Europe that the legislatures or the courts intervene precipitously in these kinds of widespread fraud by corporations; a few executives going to jail as an example to others would quickly correct the situation. Otherwise this eats away at the credibility of the government in general and you just see more lawlessness.
> Which is a serious bind on future growth.

I'm not sure those the US’S comparative advantage shifting to finance and IT over manufacturing is a “serious bind on future growth”.

Start by looking up the name of that black security guard who raised the alarm about suspicious goings on inside the building (involving the storing of large amounts of explosives in the building) before the blast, only to somehow wind up "dead in the explosion" under suspicious circumstances.

You really think a truck-based fertilizer bomb could level a building like that? I bet you think two 737s brought down three towers, also.
Agreed.

I did give a considerable amount of time to thinking about the what-if scenarios one day and when I looked down those other paths of what might have been I realized I would have to give up something I had come to love to pursue those.

The only mention was big sample libraries which are not generally cpu bound. If they mentioned 300 note polyphony or analog or physical modeled synths or even mention some of the software used I’m happy to learn. The point is that there is no detail here. I have run daws and pro audio for over 20 years and I want to know details.

I tried to make cursor based pagination work in a GraphQL API over MySQL and failed. The problem was that it had to work for a very wide range of SQL statements, with arbitrary order clause, where clause and at least one join.

Offset pagination works fine in this scenario. But something like `where id > 42 limit 100` fails with an arbitrary sorting order on non-unique columns. All I could do would be to generate the unpaginated result, then find the cursor within it, and take the limit after that. Which is too inefficient to be practical.

If I missed a decent solution, please tell.

I can get an Alpine Linux container running Perl with a chunk of CPAN on it to 60MB by just stripping the build tools once I've installed everything I want. Is Python really a GB bigger, or are people not taking the most basic of steps?
There’s no need to in my situation. 99% of the files are dependencies installed through Composer (PHP) while building the Dockerfile. The few directories I need to work on directly are bind mounts and don’t have much impact on overall runtime performance.
I've been watching the Free Documentary (I think that's their name) channel on Youtube. They're all European documentaries. They over hype stuff and design around commercial breaks too.
Another reason to use cursors is to avoid the problem of repeated or skipped elements caused by concurrent edits. If you use offsets and you’re on page 10, and someone deletes an item on page 1, the whole list shifts and you can accidentally skip an item on page 11. Likewise if someone adds an item on page 1 and you’re on page 10, one of the page 10 items will also show up on page 11.

Cursors elegantly sidestep these issues.

> This is deeply concerning, as I see a future where Apple has a monopoly on personal computing devices

I doubt that is going to happen. Apple is a premium brand, for the premium segment of the market. It is never going to have a majority of the marketshare, it isn't interested in going down that path.

Apple Silicon offers great performance, but a massive chunk of the market cares more about price than performance – that chunk isn't really interested in Apple Silicon, and Apple isn't really that interested in them either.

On the other hand , this might massively improve the turnaround time on RSP programming (which is something I've actively been trying to learn), since it'll be that much easier to edit and run microcode without having to bake entirely-new ROMs in the process: I'd just need a serial console (or even a framebuffer console on top of whatever the RSP's rendering) and an assembler (or, at the very least, something to turn hexadecimal input into binary data to DMA over - we're only talking 4K each of code and data here, after all).
Nope. They have smart TVs, but they are $100 extra. Also, it will require a robust application and integration so that we can reset it when guest checks out. Which is not available.

CSS is kinda crazy compared to programming languages - I mean that where things make sense in programming CSS makes your brain ache when you work with it. The best way to get over that is to work with it to get a feel for the syntax, Once you get a handle on that it gets way easier.

Two books that helped me the most were:

Stylin' with CSS: A Designer's Guide by Charles Wyke-Smith

This is kinda dated but does good on getting the basic structure down with a little bit on how CSS makes pages look better.

Handcrafted CSS by Dan Cederholm with Ethan Marcotte

This goes more into improving styles and how to get things working better and simpler CSS.

Both are showing their age but the approaches work for the programmer brain (more-so than books written for those who don't know programming logic at all.) Once you get these basics down, you will be able to understand what's going on when you look over googled results of what things you want to do. (and see how badly overloaded a lot of commercial sites are)

Still gonna take you months, but hopefully it won't be as frustrating as when I started trying to figure it out.
