"Hi everyone, I completely understand your emotions surrounding the news, so I wanted to chime in with a couple more thoughts. Please note that Stadia.com, Stadia Pro, and your games aren’t going anywhere. In fact, we’ll keep bringing more games to the platform and Stadia Pro. We had an exciting launch with Cyberpunk 2077 back in December, and the Stadia team is dedicated to bringing even more titles to the platform this year.“
As an independent person without a company, Microsoft gave me a free Windows Phone just for expressing interest in developing an app for it. These sorts of developer incentives kinda come and go, depending on the platform and how much they're investing in it.
My Misspent Youth – How a Manhattan dream turned into a credit-card nightmare
I had the opposite experience -- for a very, very long time I assumed that a bunch of harmful, chronic behaviors were just a result of some unspecified personal or moral failing on my part. I would beat myself up about it and tell myself to "do better," without a path forward for how to do that.

2 years ago a friend who was diagnosed with ADHD started describing some of her symptoms and I realized it sounded exactly like what I experience. I started seeking treatment a few months ago (currently therapy, and undergoing screening for medication), and just reading through the list of symptoms while I was filling out a questionnaire recently was like suddenly being able to see color for the first time.

Knowing that what I experience is not just "normal human traits" and is in fact an identifiable disorder with concrete causes and solutions has totally reoriented how I think about some issues I face and has enabled me to actually address them in a way that wasn't possible before.
The slag issue can be solved by using demineralized water, and reverse osmosis water filter, which remove almost all minerals, can be had for pretty cheap these days.
Why.

Twitch plays Pokemon worked fine .
That's fine, just let me know when you have an alternative.

We could have stood on principle and refused to bailout banks in 2008. Interest rates would have spiked, investment would have ground to a halt as companies collapsed. House prices would plummet as no one could get a mortgage, leading to people defaulting on their mortgages leading to falling prices etc.

But we'd have don't the right thing. What's 30m unemployed and a decade of economic stagnation?

I'm not saying there is nothing wrong. I agree about rating agencies, they should at least have been killed off.

I'm just saying, 98% of the things people call conspiracies are actually just good practical decisions that they don't like. The bank bailouts are a perfect example of that. Even your own line contains one such glaring misconception:

>Same with investment banks who knew the mortgage bubble was about to collapse but nonetheless sold those securities to their clients.

The clients are hedge funds so whose the bad guy here? Plus if the bank is selling and you're buying, you're not their client, you're their counterparty: they want to sneak as much shit into the portfolio as possible and you have to catch them and refuse the deal. If you don't do your job, you can't complain your opponent didn't do it for you!? And where did all these toxic loans come from? From requirements put in place by people we elected who decided that just because a customer has on income or assets they should still get a 110% mortgage on a house they don't actually need. Banks had to sell that to someone...

My worry here is that we're doomed to repeat these mistakes:

* politicians will deregulate finance because doing so spurs the economy (like it or not)

* finance will do its thing and spur the economy and get nice fat bonus cheques (like it or not)

* some other product will be all the rage

* that product will balloon in size, the assets underlying it will turn to shit as regulators push more of it and customers decline to check the contents before they buy

* the whole thing will crash and people will blame bankers who will say "we're turds, but so is everyone else, we just don't bother acting like we're not a part of the problem.".

* ill come back here and make this comment again.
Google seems to be best in creating - or buying and scaling - a platform to let "creatives" make "things". They simply time after time seem to confirm that they just can not be "creative" themselves but they do build great technologies.

And from a technical perspective Stadia does makes sense, you just seem to be making an interactive YouTube?
Unreal Engine 4 Editor Plugin Development Tutorial
Hello all,

Previously I posted my tutorial series here and had some interest. I thought I'd post an update to let you know that the third part in the series is now online as well. So far I've covered:

Creating a UI Toolbar button to duplicate an asset (in this case a map) from the plugin to the project in part 1. This also deals with user input in the form of dialogs.

Adding context menu items to perform modification to assets in disk, as well as using the Unreal Engine source code to implement undocumented functionality, such as adding sublevels in editor in part 2. This covers some API changes that have been recently introduced and which you may have to deal with if you are interested in using the latest versions of Unreal Engine.

Modifying project settings programmatically. In particular, we are changing the default levels and creating a custom ActionMapping, as well as investigating how to change other settings that may be relevant for you in part 3.

Part 1: https://www.benteveo.kiwi/blog/advanced-unreal-engine-tutorial-part-1
Part 2: https://www.benteveo.kiwi/blog/plugin-development-in-unreal-part-2
Part 3: https://www.benteveo.kiwi/blog/plugin-development-in-unreal-part-3

Part 4 will be focused on implementing gameplay elements and Part 5 will be focused on implementing unit tests and integration tests.

As you can see the lessons in the tutorial are pretty generic, and hopefully they can help you extrapolate the knowledge that you may require to implement your own custom plugin.

Let me know if you find it useful, and if you want me to write about any particular topics.

Thanks,
Pedro
Yes, subaligner should work for audio files as it does for video files.
Why would driving the stock price to zero bankrupt a healthy company? Companies go bankrupt when they can't pay their debt. A low stock price may impact their ability to raise more capital by issuing more stock, but if the company is profitable, they'll still be profitable at a low share price.

An undervalued share price is also a great opportunity for the company (or anyone really) to buy back some of their stock. In that sense, by manipulating the price too low, the short sellers are basically giving the company an opportunity for easy money.

Also, why wouldn't you have to pay tax on gains from a short if the company goes bankrupt?
Cloud native is another concept that’s grossly oversold. It’s just GaaS with an extra step.
not just the great suspender, but any browser extension that both

1. asks for permissions like "Read and change all your data on the websites that you visit" / "Read and change your browsing history", and
2. either
a. auto-updates, or
b. includes by reference code that isn't contained in the extension bundle (so it could change day to day)

"any extension" because popular extension developers regularly get offers to include extra code in their extensions, see e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1vjj51/i_am_one_of_th...
I don't think there's as much science to it as he implies but this is how heston blumenthal cooks.

I genuinely can't find the book (it's not modernist cuisine) but he recommended a book which is sort of part chemistry textbook part cookbook.
Here's the relevant quote from a GeekWire article:

"A representative for Accellion told The Times that the breach involved a 20-year-old “legacy product” which the company has been encouraging customers to stop using."

Basically, you can either blame Accellion for not supporting old products enough, or you can blame the State Auditor's office for not upgrading in a timely manner, depending on your POV. I think 20 years old is enough that I'll blame the Auditor's office.

While it’s definitely true GPS is a “free spinoff” of a government service (ie not really free), it is accessed by developers through a platform you purchase that translate that GPS signal into useable data (ie your phone, your car, other things you purchase of which GPS is “available”). In that lens, we foresee a similar use for satellite imagery data, gathered through a platform, ours or other satellite service providers, and made available to other users. The cost of entry for utilizing GPS is hidden under these platforms and service taxes, and we look to develop a low cost of entry for utilizing satellite imagery for platforms to use and burgeon; hence the example of things the engineers building GPS never expected their data would be used for! I’ve spotted a few commenters on here who are hoping to use low-cost imagery for just that.
Here's what's meant by "a small amount" in Oregon law:

Less than 1 gram of heroin.
Less than 1 gram, or less than 5 pills, of MDMA.
Less than 2 grams of methamphetamine.
Less than 40 units of LSD.
Less than 12 grams of psilocybin.
Less than 40 units of methadone.
Less than 40 pills of oxycodone.
Less than 2 grams of cocaine.

Also interesting from that article is that the law changes things for "reasonable suspicion", so they may see fewer arrests for more than one reason.

"This prevents law enforcement from then searching vehicles because they can't develop reasonable suspicion, which is the grounds that allows them to ultimately continue to search for evidence of a crime, Parosa said."
Indeed! But since EVs rarely need the posterior brakes (if at all), low maintenance becomes more important than performance. Changing 2 disc brakes costs ~€500, and I‘d rather not pay that every few years.

---------------------

I am an experienced Data Scientist, currently employed as a research associate at TU Dortmund. My goal is to expand my career in a fast-paced corporate that has ambitious visions about the future of IT solutions.

I can bring with me expertise in several key areas of data analytics and machine learning, ranging from modeling potential business problems to developing advanced data-driven solutions, which I have acquired in the course of my career so far and in various projects. I have the required advanced skills for processing and analyzing various SQL / NoSQL databases as well as the required proficiency in programming languages such as Python and C++ to implement any complicated machine learning algorithm.

Integrated into your team, as a Data Scientist, I would like to focus on state-of-the-art methods and technologies that bring innovative while explainable solutions for customers and domain experts and take responsibility for the design and implementation of excellent machine learning models. The tasks associated with a company's diverse portfolio always appeal to me very much. In this context, it would be a pleasure for me to broaden my horizons with new specialist knowledge and technologies by dealing with diverse challenges.

> I'm WAY ot of the loop here but do these infotainment systems actually produce tangible, relevant and unquestionable benefits?

Does any entertainment or arts 'produce tangible, relevant and unquestionable benefits'?

But anyway - yes. For example my car's maps knows where it is in a tunnel because it can dead reckon with the speedometer. My phone cannot do that. For my example my car has a DAB receiver and my phone does not. For example my car's infotainment has cameras I can use to park, sensors to tell me how deep I'm wading, my range left, etc. Obviously my phone doesn't any of that. How is none of that useful?
A geneticist’s biggest challenge: Curing his own son
Epic exclusives have generally been provided in the form of a revenue guarantee on projected sales, I believe. Essentially, they're not paying much of anything if the game is successful and profitable on it's own, but if it tanks, the developers still get paid as if it did not.

For an indie developer, this basically means worrying about whether the game will succeed a non-issue prior to launch.
Let us say that in our example table we have 100 000 records with severit_id < 7, 200 000 with severity_id = 7 and 3 records with severity_id = 8.

Statistics claim 100k id < 7, 200k id = 7 and 0 with id > 7. The last 3 updates could have happened right before our query, the statistics didn't update yet.

Let us assume that we blindly trust the statistics and they currently state that there are absolutely no values with severity_id > 7 and you have a query WHERE severity_id != 7 and a partial index on severity_id < 7.

If you trust the statistics and actually use the index the rows containing severity_id = 8 will never be returned by the query even if they exist. So by using the index you only scan 100 k rows and never touch the remaining ~200k. However this query can't be answered without scanning all ~300k records. This means, that on the same database you would get two different results for the exact same query if you decided to drop the index after the first run. The database can't fall back and change the plan during execution.

Perhaps I misunderstood you originally. I thought you suggested that the database should be able to know that it can still use the index because currently the statistics claim that there are no records that would make the result incorrect. You are of course correct, that the statistics are there to guide the planner choices and that is how they are used within PostgreSQL - however some plans will give different results if your assumption about data are wrong.
It's hard to answer that concretely without knowing a little bit more about your use cases. Care to share a bit more?

One thing comes to mind: we don't bill by data volume. Wavefront is charging you for the volume of data your applications produce. This can lead to negative outcomes, such as surprise bills from a newly deployed service and a subsequent scramble to find and limit the offenders.

We think this pricing model forms the wrong incentives. Charging by volume means a company is more incentivized to have their customers (you) send you more data, and less incentivized to help them get more value from that data. This is a fundamental change we want to bring to the market--we want our incentives to align with yours, we want to be paid for the value we bring to your company. We charge on a per-user basis. You should monitor your applications and infrastructure the right way, not afraid to send data because it might blow the budget.
Convincing water to just evaporate on its own was always going to be a bit tricky. The energy needs to come from somewhere so your best bet is to just get it into contact with enough dry air and hope for the best.

Besides if you're trying to restore humidity lost by heating your room then pure energy wise there's not that much difference in evaporating the required amount of water using ambient heat or evaporating the required amount of water using a different energy source. The only thing you'll achieve by using ambient heat is that your room will cool by the amount of heat required to evaporate the water (a good thing in the summer, somewhat pointless if your aim was to make a room both warm and comfortably humid).

Fundamental thermodynamics will probably mean the 'wait and see' approach is more efficient in the end, but it makes no promises on efficacy. The difference in efficiency probably lies in the fact that you can heat a room with an efficiency >100% if done right, if you haven't managed that yet it probably doesn't really matter which way you humidify the room.
Google is a company of engineers. Engineers solve problems by building stuff, not by bribing companies. I think the main exception is Android and Ads, which also happens to be the main parts of Google I disagree with...
It's lovely. It's amazing how little things can make such a big difference. In your case, the index-card default size of the note subtly, but powerfully, encourages smaller notes. Typical new-age zettelkasten apps are still A4 sized pages, so this is a welcome change.

I'll add some more pointless two cents. I use, and love, Obsidian for the following reasons. I'm a research engineer, and it supports latex equations, markdown formatting, pasting images from the clipboard, and syntax highlighting. It is also beautiful from the get go (as is your app); the line spacing is just-right, the colour scheme is pleasant, the editor and preview mode typefaces are both delightful. But, I do use it as a full-fledged note taking app.

In your shoes (and contrary to the spirit of the thread, I admit), I would definitely spend time getting to know to whom you're targetting this app. Perhaps yourself, which is fair. But, for instance, it wouldn't work for someone like me. Still, I like what you've done here and I wish you all the best!!

I think you've misunderstood, which is natural considering feedback like this can be easily perceived as an attack, but GP's response was actually well-worded. You have a lack of empathy for the conditions these people have. That doesn't mean you are unempathetic. It means your behaviour to these people exhibits a lack of empathy for their condition. That is objectively true.

And it's worthwhile to remember, sometimes people have debilitating conditions that make them worthless for tasks. It is sad that some people are paraplegic. Those people cannot be wildfire firefighters. It's not an excuse or anything. I would not want to pay that person to be a wildfire firefighter because they cannot fight wildfires. If I were paying someone to be a wildfire firefighter, and then they lost all their limbs, I cannot indefinitely employ them as a wildfire firefighter anymore. If they were to say "It's not my fault I don't have limbs", I'd have to say "No, it isn't, but also, you can't fight fires. So I'll fulfill my responsibilities to you, but I can't employ you in this capacity any more".

If someone has ADHD and they can't do a job, then they can't do the job. Any general requirements you have as an employer are to make "reasonable accommodations", not to sit there as your employee sits there on their fourth year of doing nothing because they "have ADHD".
Can you imagine spending tens of millions on a game then getting blocked from AWS on a policy violation and not being able to move it to another provider?

I can’t imagine any sane AAA game dev agreeing to those demands.
Wow Tesla doesn't support CarPlay? That's crazy in such an expensive car. I had no idea.
I agree, but I do think they've been doing a good job lately getting partners to dip their feet in the "cloud-only" functionality Stadia enables. For example:

- GRID added a 40-car race mode that's "just not possible on consoles". (Unfortunately there were rarely enough Stadia players playing GRID for matchmaking 40-car races to work well!)

- Orcs Must Die 3 added Stadia's "Stream Connect" feature, which is basically like screensharing with people in your party. They also apparently increased horde sizes on Stadia compared to other platforms.

- The Hitman series added Stadia's "State Share" feature, which lets players set up scenarios and create customized game states that they can share with others to play.

- Dead by Daylight and Baldur's Gate 3 added "Crowd Choice", which lets streamers create polls for in-game choices that automatically selects an outcome based on viewer votes (e.g. choosing whether the streamer is a killer or survivor in DbD)

- Outcasters uses Crowd Play which lets stream viewers instantly jump into games with the streamer they're watching

- etc

There's a lot of cool stuff that can be enabled when the hardware runs on beefy cloud servers. Although it would be cool to see what novel functionality Google's internal studio would have showcased, I also think it's pretty important to focus on getting "real" games and encouraging devs to take advantage of cloud-specific functionality.

There's probably something to be said for the Ubisoft+ model (basically a separate, smaller streaming service on top of Stadia/Luna/etc), but I don't think cable-like "channels" bundles are the way to go for streaming of any kind.
