After 2020 lockdown, is anyone _not_ feeling burned out, depressed, PTSD...? Recognizing this sounds weird, I’m taking a “vacation” to spend the weekend at my office. Overnights. I’ll be alone (so there’s no weirded out coworkers), give my family a break from me, do some reading - just a change of pace. I guess I’m saying I’ve got to find ways to mix it up a little, take breaks, change pace, etc.
What does that have to do with anything? TPP was a bog standard Twitch stream, with no ability for custom per-viewer spectator cameras.

Depending on your perspective, all food is "fusion". If you take any dish, it's always going to be a fusion of different cultural, and trade, and climate, and agricultural... influences. Today's perspective on "traditional" could be yesterdays tradition-defying modern innovation. You find (with very few exceptions) that it's vary hard to define what a dish actually is. There's no such thing as a "correct" Laksa recipe for instance, so if you want to understand what it is, you have to investigate how different people make it differently, and how that's changed over time. Where you draw the line of "traditional" is mostly rather arbitrary.

Thank you!
the TC video's conclusion is that the evaporative humidifiers are best, but TFA's main complaints would not be solved by that. It sounds like the TFA needs an air filter combined with an evaporative cooler. And maybe some expectation management concerning what happens to standing water at room temperature under a fan.
I am completely out of the loop on games. The only game-related thing that is of the slightest interest to me is Microsoft's new flight simulator. Is it in the cards that it will become available on a streaming platform?
I like NVidia's model. Basically its bring your own game to their cloud hardware, but they integrate Steam, Epic store and one or two other distributors really well so that it is easy for someone to move to their platform rather than replace an aging gaming PC. I'm not sure who Stadia is for or how it competes with that and PS Now, which has a ton of popular games as well as Playstation exclusives (more of a rental model like Stadia's).
MPV does seem super fast in general. I had a 4K HDR video file recently that the default Windows player couldn't play (black screen with only audio), VLC played but playback was choppy and the colours were washed out, and MPV played perfectly smooth with correct colours.
IIRC, neither Israel nor Turkey were going to be suppliers, but they were needed as part of proposed routes for the pipeline. The natural gas rich areas are in southern Iran and Qatar. Syria stopped the plan, and they said no to protect Russia's interests. And Assad is only still in power because he has Russian protection.

Why doesn't good spin off these amazing projects into their own companies and have 3,5,10 year goals associated with these projects.

Like I get the need to shut something down if there's no product market fit but at least when you've got pretty much unlimited free money give it a good shot.

The way projects such as Stadia are structured now just shows how only incentivising the launching of a new product/project is not the right way to go about things. You also need, people with a long term vision willing to see a project through and enough resources given to a project.

If this was spun off into its own entity it could easily raise money and become a proper competitor to Sony/Microsoft...
> What happens with my Stadio investment in hardware when they shut it down soon?!

My guess: Hardware, they say "it's still a Bluetooth game controller and a Chromecast, they can be used as those things". Software: They give you some Steam codes for the games you bought on Stadia.
Curious if you have any sources for this? I have heard this before and struggled to find data that backs it up.
> Production Java apps also typically run with APM tracing agents that rely on runtime bytecode instrumentation. [...] It is easier to start afresh with modern compiled languages like Go and Rust.

I wonder how they instrument their Go and Rust programs. If they decide not to, maybe it's not that important for the Java version of the same code either.
I'm 100% the same - I once accidentally trained for a marathon.
I thought it was way older than that to be honest.

I must have been using VLC for around 16 years myself. When I was a teenager my friends and I would film our weekend bike rides around the city – sometimes uploading them to Google Videos back when that was a thing. I remember often struggling to get the video formats to play on Windows Media Player because back then there seemed to be a lot of competing formats and WMP didn't always support them. Just off the top of my head I remember, 3gp, mp4, avi, wmv, divx, mpg & m4v. I was having trouble getting a video to play one night and a friend told me to try VLC and I haven't looked back since.

VLC just works. It's also light weight – which was import when comparing to RealPlayer and Quicktime on an early 2000s PC. The UI is also extremely clean and simple when compared to other media players (especially those in the mid-2000s).

Now 15 years later I'm still using VLC almost every day. It's probably the second or third thing I'll install on a new system. Quicktime player is pretty decent on Mac, but it doesn't play everything and there are things it doesn't do that I use all the time on VLC like the 100%+ volume.

I can't imagine how much time and many headaches VLC has saved me over the years. It's easily one of the best pieces of open-source software ever made.

There is better way to humidify which is to just have cold temperature evaporation. It is slower and you need bigger machine for the same volume, but it requires very little energy and the only real electronics is a fan that moves air.

I got rid of all mist humidifiers because of residue, noise and some health concerns (no, I am not feeling safe inhaling those fine particles) and I am happy for it.

Most importantly, it doesn't get things wet and it is safe to just leave it 24h.

A Look at a Burgeoning Product Called NBA Top Shot
Oh, I agree completely. Individual market participants make tons of mistakes, and absolutely won't be able to evaluate short (or long!) arguments correctly in many cases. That's actually one of the key elements supporting the efficient market hypothesis, and why so much ink is spent encouraging small investors to use index funds.

But it's a question of scale. The fact that any one investor may make mistakes doesn't mean that the market as a whole, in the medium or long term, also makes these sorts of mistakes.

"Some hedge fund guy released a report saying stock X is bad and the stock tanked 30% from small investors panicking before recovering when people realised it actually wasn't bad" is pretty silly, yes. And it's a bit rough on the small investors selling at a loss into the large investors who are able to correctly analyse the report, absolutely. But does any company actually go bankrupt in cases like this? The answer seems to be no; there's no evidence for it happening, and it's hard to see how it even could. Confused retail investors can lead to price volatility, but they don't make or break a new share offering.

There's a clinical psychologist that describes it as a disorder in large part characterized by a lack of executive function. In other words, you can't necessarily make yourself do what you're supposed to unless you have a desire to do it. So your desires tend to take priority or distract from your wants or needs. And obviously like all disorders it has to be debilitating to some degree–usually interference with two or more areas in your life (home, professional, school, etc.).
I'll add my hats off to to @ines and the spaCy team. It's super impressive. There's also a (free) orientation course I'd recommend at https://course.spacy.io/
These are all things that consoles and existing game stores do extremely well already, and the last two are net deficits for Stadia if you have an ISP or router that's not up to the job.

Amazon Luna, GeForce Now, Shadow, running Parsec in the cloud and paying by the minute, xCloud, and PS Now all better Stadia by offering game subscriptions or more features or are more sustainable by being cheaper in the case of GeForce Now for 4K.

If Amazon Luna/GeForce Now can succeed as upstarts, it says Google should've likely focused on a game subscription service or offering a standalone game streaming platform. They're closer to being the later with this announcement, but not until I can play my Steam/GoG/Itch/Epic libraries on it.

I have a few hours in AC:Odyssey and BL3 on Stadia, it's a good service that has improved a lot too. It's still tough to recommend if you're not the most occasional gamer.

You and Medvedev claim this is defensive, but the capability has existed for two years. Are you expecting Russia to need to defend its Internet at the same coincidental time as these protests?
The benefit would be if wall space is scarce. I have a quite small home and do not want to use too much of it for tech gadgets. The space behind the tv feels like a place where many ugly things can be hidden.
They’ll be running OpenVMS. Funny - HPE sold that last batch of hardware, but they refused to sell software to go along with it - you have to go over to VSI to get that.

It’s just an Ingres database and batch processing data into and out of it. Can you believe Ingres is still around?!?

The replacement is a DataBricks/Spark system, but it’s years behind schedule - that’s why they had to buy new servers before production ended. It makes me sad that to match the performance of a 2nd-gen dual core Itanium (the entry-level processor back then - 10 years ago), we need a 10-node cluster and all the guys are hand tuning their partition parameters just to get to that performance level.
I mean, I could probably figure out how to do that in Unity in about a week.

You would basically just need to stream the cameras output texture to a web app, and then read inputs from from said web app. Regardless there's no reason to try and create a whole new engine for this, CryTek has always been known as one of the worst engines to work in, just because it's not supported very well.
> For reference when Microsoft/Epic approaches the studios for games on their platforms they front the entire development cost.

This is so painfully misleading.

You're either describing situations where Microsoft or Epic have become the publisher for the game, or you're describing situations where extremely large titles are paid to exclusively release on a platform where they will then recoup costs from as the sales have to go through their platform.

You could very well tie that to a high-tier subscription to any Twitch channel. Depending on the game (e.g. Fortnite) you could easily server a bunch of viewers from the same GPU.
The easiest way, I know of, is to to just under 100% using the sliding scale in the lower left corner and then go to the Audio menu and increase the volume. A click on Increase Volume goes up to the nearest number divisible by 5 (i.e. at 97%, clicking Increase Volume goes to 100%; at 92%, you need to do it twice).
Instead of giving the interface an explicit name, I think you could instead use something like this:

function getEmails(group: Array<{email: string}>) {
return group.map((p) => p.email)
}

which leaves the function more open ended than relying on an explicitly named interface that other types then have to inherit from.
> Hardware, they say "it's still a Bluetooth game controller and a Chromecast, they can be used as those things".

IIRC, it only works as a bluetooth controller with Stadia (either supported Chromecast or Chrome web app); otherwise, it is only a wired USB controller.
Yes, and I would add to this the (nearly) complete lack of IDE support makes working with Spark SQL quite painful.
Totally agree. Especially since I have two children rapidly entering that phase of their lives when they will be exposed to the most peer pressure. I hope we take a bunch of the money we'll save on useless enforcement and put it towards education, in addition to rehab and other diversion programs.

> It was always a dumb choice to make member functions default to virtual semantics, when they almost always don't need it, and it just costs performance to no purpose.

If you actually don't need it (i. e., your hot methods are never overridden), then the JIT will trivially compile those "virtual" method calls as non-virtual ones. It has all the information it needs, since it knows what classes are loaded. It can invalidate its code if necessary, if you load more classes that do add overrides. So no, it does not cost performance at the call site. It does cause the compiler to do work, but nothing fancy.

> Would ad companies like Google make less money? Not really.

I disagree. Currently, targeted advertising is able to hold a premium over non-targeted advertising. The more targeted, the higher the premium. Facebook wants to keep up in the arms race with Google (and others) in how targeted it can be.
13485 is relatively bureaucratic, but it's not required for FDA per se and there are things you can do. What is more problematic is IEC 62304 or similar, which embeds a very particular SDLC into the development approach. It doesn't really fit AI/ML, it barely fits modern software development anyway.

Why not both?

> I'm dumbfounded at Google's lack of planning on this.

Yes, but apply this to 90% of their new products. Google's planning in the current age is about as bad as Microsoft's in the 2004-2012 era.
Sure, but there's a huge difference between meeting up with "a guy" in secret to buy it versus popping into the shop and picking some up while running errands.

There's also an implied suitability in the sense that "stores wouldn't be allowed to sell if it was really that harmful". This may or may not be true but it certainly impacts our cultural mindset around alcohol.
I'm working on ADHD diagnosis now and my doctor was kind enough to let me begin taking Ritalin and then switch to Vyvanse. Medication is literally, demonstrably changing my life for the better.

I used to drink multiple cups of coffee a day and felt like it was almost baseline requirement just to attempt to focus. Actual ADHD medication makes coffee almost obsolete. The first time I took Ritalin it was almost scary to realize how chaotic my mind was minute-to-minute, every day without fail. Suddenly the noise all went away.

It feels like I can actually create coherent sentences. I stop getting overwhelmed by asynchronous communications (Slack, email). The "volume" of every single distraction that used to monopolize my attention gets turned way down. Yeah, I still get distracted -- but now it's a conscious choice to either let that distraction take precedent or to re-focus to the task at hand.

The day to day benefits are great, but the big picture / life-style benefits are the most appreciated. In general my anxiety and stress management is honestly 10x better. I've gone from being stressed over my career choice every week to finally feeling like I can thrive. I stop getting irritated by the most innocuous things someone might say or do. I stop waking up anxious every weekend trying to process the million things I need to get done just to exist and make forward progress in my life. I could go on and on and on about how "real" ADHD is, without even having a formal diagnosis yet.

I'm sure the discussions in this thread regarding the utility and risks of these medications sounds intriguing if you don't have ADHD and already know how to sit still and focus at will. But anyone who doesn't have our experience should understand this shit is honestly helping people live their lives for the better. My only regret is I didn't know sooner.

Valve has the Stream Link and VIVE. Steam Link is pretty much Stadia using your computer instead of the cloud. They're very much in the hardware business.
I signed up for GeForce Now, and truly the killer feature is bringing the games you already own. On Stadia, you have to buy the games separately on top of the streaming subscription, and Luna (Amazon's offering) is similar in that you can sign up for game "channels" (iirc). With GeForce Now, you can just play the stuff you already own without sinking money into games that play on a platform that might not even exist in a few years. I bet in another year or so Stadia will shut down and all those games that you paid for on the platform will disappear.
I'm having a hard time seeing, though, that it will really change the number of drug users substantially. So the ones who were going to resort to burglary still will, and we will catch them and put them into the criminal justice system. But the users who manage to be otherwise gainfully employed (or at least self-sufficient enough without crime), we can forget about.
