Wait, the water they spray on a land launch is only for sound suppression?
I've played a lot more games than that and used to be one of the highest rated players on Isotropic and then on the current site. I don't know what this guy's talking about at some points. People were hammering duke/dutchies back in the isotropic game. I don't think anyone overlooked the kings court/goons/masquerade pin for one game, let alone thousands. It just doesn't come up much.

He leaves out my biggest criticism, there is no form of errata/banning. When an overpowered card enters the fray, you just have to play it. Minion's on the board? Guess we're just fighting for 'em.

Chapel should cost more than 2 no matter what Vaccarino says. Probably 5. Etc.

Vaccarino is a great game designer but I think the playtesting could be better sometimes, and unlike CCGs with developed tournament systems there's no changing a card once it's out there ever.
Is there a way to just block a domain from my search results? I swear I used to be able to do this.

Luckily no one is able to predict most anything beyond 4 years in the future. Ask any economist or epidemiologist.
Right, that was my point. In the end it's the responsibility of politicians to do their job and close the loopholes. How can we expect corporations to be moral if elected officials won't?
Next level space age begins, sooner we will be on Mars.
Theory is a legendary player, and his take on the game is truly excellent.

I wish the simple, fast, text interface of the old isotropic implementation still existed though. I had a definite addiction to Dominion in college - three hours a day online for months - and the isotropic implementation shutting down was the thing that finally cured me. The depth, and the possibility of just ten minutes more for a wholly new kingdom, was so incredibly enjoyable, even if I never became an elite player...
I think the US trial is testing both the half and full dose approaches to confirm these results.
And how many new species arose?
Right. Where I live, there are enough orders for the three main vaccines to vaccinate all adults. But half of that is for the AZ option. Just like vaccines in general are going to be prioritized for at-risk demographics and essential workers, I'd sure hope they're also prioritizing the more effective vaccines for them.

Given the current data, of course I'd personally prefer of the mRNA vaccines. But that's unlikely to be something I have any agency over. It's either nothing for an indefinite amount of time, or accept whatever they have even if it is one of the less effective options.
The story is missing a lot, with no details on the travel expenses that made several of the trades possible: X -> Vancouver -> Amherst, Mass. -> California -> Queens, NY. From that point, the article just says "he traded..." without mentioning the mechnanism. Leaving all that out, it's not quite the story of one red paperclip x 14 trades = a house.
update: forget it. I tried to jail break my PW2 and it lead to nowhere after 3 hours of attempts. The newest firmware (which it automatically updated to without asking) has blocked the downgrading to an older firmware, making the jailbreak unsuccessful.

NB: if you plan on jailbreaking an old Kindle, put it in airplane mode as soon as possible. If it upgrades past 5.10+, you're done.
What's the environmental impact delta between a 12km launch and landing and an orbital launch and landing? I can't imagine the difference to the ground environment is that significant.
Quite a lot of testing in Final Cut and Logic etc showing very good performance and efficient swap. So for most consumer apps it works well. No magic if you need a big block of memory for ML or analytics.
I'm pretty sure you could also maintain a temp table and use some kind of "insert...where...returning" construct to squeeze that into a recursive query.

At a moderate overhead you could also definitely return all seen nodes and a flag to identify them as such as part of your intermediate data at each recursive step.

The postgres query optimizer struggles with recursive queries even when well suited to the problem though. Are they actually efficient in sqlite even for trees?
It's too bad that the popularity has waned, considering you can still get a lot out of it. Using the new compression in windows 10 I get to shrink my steam folder more than 25%, but being off the beaten path means I have to deal with a bit of jankiness and manually reapplying it every once in a while.
I'm really interested in seeing how it will perform its "belly flop" landing. Seems like a high risk maneuver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdTYMry7fq0#t=1m17s
I remember setting up a reverse proxy so that the people in my call center (job at the time) could play each other on boring calls - as long as everyone was cool moves could take as long as you wanted.

I was really sad to see the new interface that it was shut down for was some flash monstrosity that was pay per-expansion pack, definitely killed my interest in playing it online.
None, which is why I don't use closed source routers.

Between different companies is a subjective opinion. I'd argue that people who trust FB/Google have already bought into surveillance culture, and so those companies don't have much to lose by adding network traffic to their take.

Reasonable people can agree to disagree about that, but it's just odd to claim that "understand[ing] how networking works" makes for some kind of objective judgement.
Per search, if you preface the site operator with - (e.g., -site:pinterest.com), it'll exclude that site. It doesn't help much because pinterest results pollute from multiple top level country domains.
If I remember right, such management was a staple of the great Settlers games. But it was a base building game without the rts combat.

The last few trades surprised me. A KISS-themed snow globe is worth more than a year's rent in Phoenix? Someone would trade a house for a speaking role in a film?

You can read more about the snow globe on the one red paperclip blog. It still kind of left me scratching my head though:

That's why things like IP address textual representation needs to be rigorously and formally specified using non-ambiguous syntax notation. The implementations then can formally verified to comply to this syntax spec. At the end I would love to have a formally verified library implementation of IP address parser for major mainstream programming languages which everybody could rely upon and do not try to write their own parser. That's a dream.
Most people would be married with families by their late 20s. Now many enter into a sort of second childhood and settle down in their 30s or beyond. Hell, I still have some acquaintances from school who are slowly transitioning into the creepy old guy hitting on 24 year olds.
For the sake of SEO, Pinterest needs to go.
Honestly, paper jams and messed up pages and dry ink wells don't enrage me too much because that's where I appreciate they have a difficult task.

It's the trash-fire software and the hilariously opaque UIs and the obscene razors/blades business models that drive me nuts.

That said I don't hate my current Brother networked printer/scanner but that may simply be because I basically never print anything.
My take on it is: At whatever age you are, you still feel like there's lots of time ahead of you, because people live longer/can do more/etc.

Generally to check I just use Wireshark, but if they're big enough (Google), they'd probably talk about it. Also, ESNI isn't even the default in Firefox, and it's just straight up not implemented in Chrome.
46 year old here. Wave I remember feeling like I'd wasted so much time and was irreversibly behind in my twenties. Like, it was all decided. There are so so many figs left. Many many chances ahead of you!

I tried this but found it kind of confusing. How do you actually edit your wiki? As far as I can tell, when I make changes the wiki "saves" by making a new commit and pushing it to GitHub, but it doesn't modify the file itself. Meaning in order to update my local copy, I have to manually pull the changes down from GitHub every time. This seemed extremely awkward to me and I'm sure I'm missing something or doing something wrong

> If one has access to the Pfizer vaccine why bother with AZ's vaccine?

You wouldn’t. Poorer people in poorer countries will get the less effective vaccines. Richer people in richer countries will get the better ones. There is a difference therein. But nothing compared to the vaccinated-unvaccinated gulf.

It oriented almost perfectly. I'm truly amazed at what SpaceX has accomplished so far. Just need to stick that landing a few dozen more times. It's quite a reorientation.
Its worse than just the size jump. Every application would also need to run all its code inside a linux VM. So that means:

- Dedicated RAM for all your docker apps (which you have to partition manually)

- Slow startup time for the first docker app you run each time you reboot, as it boots the linux VM.

- All syscalls run through the VM's emulation layer, which is way slower than native

- No access to the system's native UI toolkits. (Docker apps can't dynamically link to cocoa for obvious reasons.) We can probably work around this by wasting a huge amount of developer time making a networked bridge or something silly but ??

- No easy way to load and save files (the VM doesn't have filesystem access)

- All the other downsides of docker - like it gobbling up all your disk space with images that are no longer used

- Lower battery life, because the host can't easily sleep the VM's scheduler. The CPU can't enter low power state when nothing's running.

Please don't do this. We already have a special kind of container for "self contained program on disk". Its called a statically linked executable. They work great. They're fast, small, have access to everything the host system provides. You can SHA them if you want and you can easily host them yourself using a static web server. My computer's responsiveness is more important to me than your shiny docker shaped toy.
> A pattern that has come up a few times in my code is the following: an object has a property which defaults to an expression based on its other properties unless it’s explicitly set, in which case it functions like a normal property. Essentially, the expression functions as a default value.

Having a dynamic default value makes sense, but instead of having the object reconfigure itself on the fly, why not design a single virtual field that intelligently chooses between two distinct sources of data? For example, you could write a class like this:

class MyObject {
#customFoo;

get foo () {
return this.#customFoo ?? this.#getDefaultFoo();
}

set foo (val) {
this.#customFoo = val;
}

#getDefaultFoo () {
// dynamically generate and return foo value
}
}

That way you could get a dynamically created value up until a custom value is set, with the option to switch back to the dynamic default simply by setting the field to null or undefined.

Also, I'm not sure if you were implying that it's a good thing, but the concept of "properties which execute code to produce side effects when they are get or set" seems a bit risky to me, especially the "get" part... it can make it very difficult to reason about the state of a system when simply accessing a property on an object has side effects. Obviously side effects don't need to be avoided at all costs, but IMHO it's best if they only occur during explicit function calls.
Got lost in a rabbit hole after reading this news. Most incredible thing to me was that due to the reusability the per launch costs may end up being $2M (vs $185 million in 1969–1971 dollars - $1.23 billion in 2019 value for the Saturn V).
Funny how they publish this on their own website given as they still don't officially confirm the operation according to the other article linked above
I'm not an expert but the obvious solution is to give the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine to the 18-55 population and the mRNA vaccines to those 65+. The mRNA vaccines also have stringent and extreme freezing requirements that the Oxford one doesn't.

When there is ambiguity, can context during negotiation proceedings be bought as evidence to clarify?

Obviously no lawyer worth their salt is going to clarify ambiguity via email instead of redlining the contract with a change, but post-contract ambiguity can often be discovered.
I've examined this a number of times over the years for deploying a ROS (Robot Operating System) workspace to robots and laptops. Some of our competitors use snaps or various container technologies for this, but I've always felt that the isolation/sandboxing would be more of a barrier than a help— it's one more layer of udev rules and other indirection to have to punch through with another set of config files (and to no benefit as we're not trying to run multiple independent "apps" or anything).

So currently at my org we use basically the same scheme I advocated for at a developer conference in 2016 [1]: we just build it all into a gigantic bundled debian package, and deploy that to the host system with apt.

I keep revisiting these various technologies and all of them seem less mature than apt/dpkg, and mostly in service of features and capabilities which don't apply to my particular needs. Obviously I'm a bit of a niche case, and my needs aren't everyone's, but of all of them, nix is the one that seems to be doing the most that is truly interesting and different; being able to send a new nightly build out to users with requiring them to re-downloading an entirely new asset would be a major win.

As a candidate, I will put in as much effort into phone screens (with real code pads) as the real interview.

As an interviewer, I will give a slight benefit to the doubt for “screens” because I understand some candidates don’t take it as seriously as the main interview.
Yeah, any Docker file that starts with `apt update; apt dist-upgrade` is an instant fail.

It's not switched on, so it wouldn't be hot. It was supposed to be switched on and activated at the peak which they never reached.
Because all Intel Macs that support Big Sur have AVX, so the Homebrew team enabled it globally. It allows for "things like small memset() operations [to get] inlined as AVX instructions" as the compiler knows that an AVX operation is faster than a function call.
Well I hope the renewed attention will drive some action. We have much more remote control capability now. Shouldn't have to cost lives I think.
Companies like making money and historically class action lawsuits have made it easier for employees or customers to cut into profit margins based on wrongful action by the company. The incentive to join a class action suite was less than each individual filing there own case. Hence the dislike

But, as the article perhaps alludes to, the tide may be changing on that due to legal industry automation. If law firms can file nearly identical lawsuites at scale then the incentives can again favor consumers and employees. This may not have happened in this particular case due to courts being unable to scale, but it has happened to companies like DoorDash. See https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.latimes.com/business/story/...
My hot take is that RTSes focus too much on making things competitive and balanced and cater huge amounts of resources to the 0.001%. I just want a fun campaign and be done with it. But it’s not viable, instead you must build and balance multiplayer which is more work than the rest of the game. If you don’t then the online/esports personalities will trash your game. I did enjoy Spellforce 3 Fallen God a lot lately and that’s such a rarity
Wow, simply a tragedy. It seems as though the majority of people(Southern California especially) did not adhere to safety guidelines. They virtually brought it upon themselves.

I find it a little weird that FAA handles space stuff. I think they should coordinate, but basically they are for aircraft. There should be a FSA that handles space traffic.
The Super Heavy Booster has an order of magnitude more engines than the Starship prototype that did the 12km hop. I don't think Starship can reach orbit without the booster (it can reach space, but not orbital velocity)
I don't think deep work means no meetings, it's avoidance of pointless meetings. The github page links to a guide which explicitly discusses "collaborative deep work".
This is what we do. One binary output that has all native dependencies built-in. We also use SQLite so we don't have to waste time with administering hosted SQL instances.

Ramping new developers and environments is incredibly trivial with our stack, and we do not rely on any containerization tech. Just .NET Core, visual studio, Git[Hub] and SQLite.
There’s a very big difference between “I implement services this way because I’ve learned from google it is the most reliable” and “in 2022 Apple is going to launch VR goggles.”

At least in starcraft, >2 player has a totally different feel as early game rushes are way more powerful. a lot of people don't like to play like that
The base shared image can't embed macos's system & UI libraries because:

- They're proprietary. Copying them from macos onto docker hub violates the macos software license.

- They change with each version of MacOS. You can't mix & match them.

I guess you could mount them into docker's filesystem, but then whats the point of using docker? And even if you did that:

- They're macos mach executable files. Linux (and therefore docker) doesn't know how to run mach executable files.

- Even if you could somehow embed them and get them to run, the libraries wouldn't work because they expect to be making syscalls to Darwin. They can't do that from inside a linux virtual machine.

You could probably make a weird RPC proxy involving a native macos process receiving network commands. But it should take a herculean effort to make it work at all, and even if you got it working it would probably be buggy (since everything would suddenly become async) and slow.
The cool thing about brood war is that it will last forever.
The idea is that everyone has unifying motivations, often in a higher power, where they derive their personal sense of morality from. Whether religion, family, tradition, survival, knowledge, the invisible hand of the market, a love of humanity or life for its own sake, sheer pleasure, whatever.

The point is that regardless of the original intent of the Judeo-Christian text, it seems an admirable enough message that can be recontextualized easily enough to fit those of different ethical and theological viewpoints on this forum. No hair-splitting or holy wars necessary.

The allusion to Alcoholics Anonymous is that the “acknowledging a higher power” step, while commonly assumed as pushing crypto-Christianity, can be reinterpreted by each individual participant as their own unifying motivator.
These class action waivers began to completely take over after DirectTV vs Imburgia was decided in 2016:

True, but while the behavior (and rate of spread) is from the population as a whole, the impact is felt by individuals. Someone who's staying home except to get essentials once a month is at significantly increased risk when they visit stores if there are more carriers - and of course someone who's staying home and develops a medical emergency completely unrelated to covid won't have an ICU bed either.

There's really just not enough commercial space traffic yet to warrant its own agency.

I think that's becoming less true with LEO megaconstellations of satellites, but it's still probably too low volume for now to warrant an entirely separate federal agency.
Yeah I got the book as soon as I heard that quote from Master of None. It’s an eloquent novel that really highlights mental health and self-identity.
There's tons of places with effectively unlimited money. But very few places that have nearly unlimited resources. Some key resources are usually inversely correlated with money: decision-making latency and throughput, clear focus, and iteration speed. That's because money buys headcount, not good leadership.
