ARK: Survival Evolved is a much better example of a game in the UO/Eve Online spirit. While also being a cutthroat PvP sandbox like Rust, it has complex politics and power games between massive inter-server tribes, making it more MMO-ish.
Wow, they really did it. Curious how much of the latter-day mechanics they'll include like runewords, cube crafting etc.

An Hadoop obituary from an Hadoop competitor
The verdict is in: running analytics in the petabyte order is cheaper and faster in the cloud than on prem. Or, is it?

This article seems to be a combo hit-job/promotional material, but it's a nice way to introduce a conversation on real life comparison total cost of ownership of hardware vs. cloud.

> Do what you can, even smaller things

I completely disagree. We’re so close to 100% fucked that if you’re not willing to do the big things, just do whatever you want and enjoy the ride. If you’re alive now, you’re not going to be around when the bill really comes due anyway.
In the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course, and probably in driver's ed everywhere there is the phrase: you can be right, or dead right. And they will write on your grave that you had the right of way.

Basically, is it more important to be right, or to be alive (or be employed).
I really enjoyed the aesthetics on some of these. Thanks for sharing -- this seriously puts my $19 Amazon Logitech keyboard to shame.

> "Low serotonin" was never the actual medical position on why antidepressants worked, it was marketing. The medical position is "we don't know why they work"; some antidepressants actually lower serotonin (SNRI) and some increase it (SSRI) and they both seem to help.

This just isn't the case. Maybe the more accurate thing to say is that there have been a few "medical positions" on this issue in the past six to eight decades, and "low serotonin" as well as "we don't know how they work" were both out there in the ether. But even that's not fully accurate, because you'd have to be pretty bold to argue that there wasn't a dominant "medical position" on the matter since biological psychiatry finished supplanting the Freudians for control of the field in the 1970s. The dominant position was the chemical imbalance theory, of which "low serotonin" was one of several variations trotted out over the years to both the public and the medical community.

Psychiatry is one of the medical specialties most profoundly co-opted by pharmaceutical industry interests, and both research and clinical practice have been rife with the effects of this influence. You don't even have to appeal to systematic analyses of how profoundly poor the quality of psychiatric research is, or how much pharma ghostwrites those studies, or anything of the kind. You can just ask a researcher in cancer or in neurology; they'll happily tell you.

To cleave the "medical position" from "marketing", as in your comment, elides what really happened: marketing decided what the medical position would be, and both doctors and the public mostly bought it.
If you write them down and actively try to remember, they enter a more permanent state in memory. I can more easily recall them that way and even continue the memory explosion.

Once you get the infrastructure set up and cloud-init-enabled template images, servers can be very turnkey. I can spin up a new DNS-addressable, auto-updating Ubuntu VM in two or three clicks then deploy software like this on it from the CLI. There’s even a system for easy LXC container apps called turnkey Linux. Works great with Proxmox.
Yes, it's taken too far. Multiple times in RNA biology people have made legitimate discoveries and were required to implement heroic methods to make their case. The first two I think of are Tom Cech whose grad student demonstrated that RNA can be an enzyme with extremely reliable evidence but they had to put in a few years of work to actually get the community to agree. Similarly, Harry Noller had very strong evidence the heart of the ribosome was an RNA machine and it took 40 years and a crystal structure before the community finally accepted it. A similar case happened with DNA with the Avery experiment which was as good a proof as you'll ever get in biology, but it wasn't until Hershey Chase that the general community overcame the skepticism that DNA could be the molecule of heredity.

The video game industry probably isn't the place for you, then. All my previous colleagues with that background had horror stories.

It's like Hollywood. There is always a multitude of starstruck 20 year-olds who would happily do the job for free, just for a chance to "make it big". Larger employers count on it and it distorts the salary/work-life balance economics of all the junior and mid-level employees in the industry.

The video game industry is a tournament. I have nothing but respect for the talent it attracts, but you have to be a little bit crazy to enter it.
Not the OP but I’d say reporting a company for breaking the law isn’t political even though laws stem from the political process.
> so you execute a 51% attack that mass double-spends coins

51% attacks don't double-spend coins. It just means you get to control which blocks are accepted, it doesn't mean you can violate the rules.
Speaking up internally is pretty clearly ineffective, and has been since at least the days of the Real Names debacle.
NSan: a floating-point numerical sanitizer
My first thought is that frequent and disparate traffic makes Tor more secure against certain attacks. Including Tor in Brave makes Tor better.

Also, I can imagine some instances where you want to obfuscate your IP location to the visited site/service, but don't much care if your DNS requests leak because you're more concerned about the accessed site/service generating a patchwork of locations associated with a specific user and less concerned about your ISP or DNS provider knowing generally that you connect to the site/service.

The thing that confuses me about the Facebook like, follow, or click fraud is: it seems like Facebook is stringent with their real name + real person policy and bans people that violate it. So how are all of these bots surviving? And if somehow they are real people's accounts: how are they getting outside the geo fencing / geo targeting?
Yes, antiracism must be measured by its effects. Google's campaign had antiracist intentions, and racist effects.

That doesn't mean we should all give up on effective antiracism, though. This tactic/campaign/etc. was not antiracist. Others can be. It's not clear at all why this should be taken to mean that "the more we talk about race...the worse the racial tensions and competition will become." The conversation around race in the US has been ongoing for decades, and there are many objective metrics whereby things have not become worse.
It's not a trivial thing - docker and sandstorm.io might be two examples of making some decent headway here.

Just today I set up a postgres and ms sql server for testing - pretty much identically, running out of their own named docker containers (for those not aware, it's even more similar than it sounds, ms sql runs on Linux now).
The key word is "publicly." You can oppose without doing it by proxy on Twitter.

> Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies) does bring value to our society as a store of wealth that's not easy for governments to control.

My personal take on this is that it's a temporary state of affairs. You might draw an analogy to the wild west of the Internet in the past, or e-mail. As Bitcoin goes mainstream, if it does, you will see familiar institutions built on it including fractional reserve banking that honor all the comfortable consumer things if you remain within their system.
The RISC-V BL602 Book
Except that by having fewer instructions in the ISA you may have to increase the number of instruction executed by the CPU which is what matters for performance/efficiency.

Has RISC-V made the good tradeoffs? We'll have to wait a long time (until someone tries to make a high performance RISC-V instead of glorified microcontrollers) to know..

Note though that the RISC-V is a cleaned up MIPS ISA beside being open it doesn't bring much novelty (nothing to improve security or GCs) with the (significant) exception of the (unstable) vector ISA.
Maybe when Google stops paying these CS grads obscene amounts of money. Only people with very strong political views will convince themselves to not go there, and I doubt it's a large group of people.
virt-manager is just a shim on top of libvirt same as cockpit's VM component. So there really isn't any excuse on that front. Although your comparing a tool built as a competitor to something like vmware workstation/virtualbox against a general purpose machine mgmt tool that happens to be able to do some VM mgmt as well.

PS: I think both are good, but I too use virt-manager for all my VM twitting because nothing else on linux is both as feature complete for qemu/KVM while also avoiding having to read the manual just to adjust some VM parameter.
that's clearly a strawman interpretation of my comment.

> why would a company pay someone to publicly criticize them?

by all means, a healthy company should encourage internal critiques. but if you're going to take that criticism public, you can't expect to also collect a paycheck at the same time. do you make a habit of paying people to work against your interests?
There's no demand for it. There are some small & generous groups (eg. linuxserver.io) who cater to the tiny niche of "homelabbers", but even that is somewhat passionate & skilled group of people. It's mostly a waste of time to cater to anyone lower. Like most niche hobbies, no one is getting paid enough to care about the lowest common denominator.
It probably is though. Is any remaster any successful?
I have a series of dreams that happen in my town, whose geography in the dreams is as I naively imagined it as a child. The map of the dream town is an exact circle. The bus route from my home (my parents' home) to my school is a straight line (in reality it is more like a spiral). As a consequence, some places exist in my dream map that do not correspond to anything in reality. Sometimes I wake up with a feeling that it is important to go to those places in real life, because something important that I forgot is there.

Across a large street from my parents' home, there are some trees that kinda look like a beginning of a forest. In reality those are just a few densely growing trees, followed by more streets and houses. As a small child I didn't know, because we rarely walked in that direction, so in my dreams, there was a forest. Now I know what is actually there, and have walked there many times. But in the dream world, there still is a forest.

The dream map refuses to update and keeps the misconceptions of my childhood. Of course, during the dreams, it is a real map containing places that I merely "forgot" and "should visit again".
This is like arguing the iPhone was not a "success" because walled garden appstores are bad, or because app addiction is bad. Either of those may be true, but the iPhone was still a sucess.

Bitcoin was a daring experiment in game theory, open-source protocol, and human incentives, and is a success by any common-sense measures:

- Adoption of the protocol

- Money devoted to protol

- Human attention given to the project

- Number of computers running it's code
Value versus Volume (In Healthcare)
If you decide to switch up your medications, the strongest combination I ever found was Latuda and Remeron. Remeron also has a fairly light side effect profile for an anti-depressant, though weight gain can be a problem for a lot of people who take it.
Wow that's very impressive.
The rule number 1 in letting people go: never go on record why you did that. There's a good reason for that - you're opening yourself up for lawsuits. Google violated that rule in a big way by making such a public and damaging statement. You bet they can back it up.
I haven’t seen any of the “smear campaign”, just what these two employees have written publicly and, honestly, they both seem like entitled self-absorbed pains in the ass who crap on everything around them just because they didn’t get their way, who view anyone who disagrees with them as an idiot (or worse, evil), and as completely unprofessional and poorly prepared to be dealing with something of such significance at a $50B company.

These are people who should have never made it past individual contributer.

There is a difference between pushing your company towards a better place and dropping bombs every time someone disagrees with you, a distinction neither of these two seem to realize.
From the article:

From what I've seen, neither Google nor Margaret Mitchell have described the file transfer event in detail. We don't yet know the content of the thousands of documents she allegedly exfiltrated.

I'm curious about this. Is it legal to copy and store _any_ documents that you deem necessary for your lawyer to see? Seems unlikely.
And I would like to add that ketamine has nothing to do with the monoamine hypothesis, it is an NMDA receptor antagonist. It has nothing to do with serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenalin.

See my other comment about the growing interest in the glutamate system instead of serotonin and the like.
Your "politics" is someone else's "fundamental human survival rights".

The exact details matter from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. There are parts of the world where you can be fired for being gay. In most of the US where you can be fired for being trans. There are parts of the US where having TAMPONS in a women's bathroom is considered "political".
I live in the shell but for my home vms/boxes I love having this available. It’s particularly neat that you can integrate them all together and jump between different hosts. There are also extension packages to manage vms and Docker containers which is fun if I want to fire up a remote task.

Back in the day the closest thing to this was software called webmin.
That is quite a large aside, though.
I suppose this depends on your point of view. QT has achieved broad acceptance as "the" cross platform solution among open source Linux-first applications, as well as much of the open source ecosystem more generally. (Open source being what it is means that there are many exceptions, obviously.)

For example, on my computer right now I have 55 applications that depend directly on qt5-base, not including libraries and parts of QT. This is also not including a ton of applications that depend indirectly on QT, including most every KDE desktop application, which depends through KDE's frameworks.

So while QT may not have caught on in commercial software development, I'd say calling it a failure depends very much on what software ecosystem you're in. You might argue that HTML has achieved "universal usage" for desktop apps in a way that QT has not, but I would have to disagree. I don't have a single HTML UI or Electron app on my computer, and I don't feel as though I've given anything up. In fact I simply haven't come across any of these apps that I felt like I needed.

So I might say that HTML has failed to gain mass usage on the platforms that matter to me. :-)
The political activist collective is slowly falling apart. If you get blamed for racism when firing an employee for telling colleagues not to pursue KPIs, there is not much you can do to continue placating these professional victims. They are now resorting to calling Google gaslighting for replacing Gebru with a Black person. It is low-brow ugly neo-racism, but then again, I don't really want Google AI in charge of AI ethics, with or without Gebru, so may the mess and reputation damage linger for a long time.

"how you position it"

Hmm... and how do I do that? What's your impression?

Sciter.JS is "an embeddable HTML/CSS/JS UI engine" and that's it.

Yes, it is possible to use it without touching native side like ElectronJS, see: https://quark.sciter.com/ , but that's not the primary use case. So far it has around 400 mln installations in embedded form as part of other products, see: https://sciter.com/#customers

If you want you can treat it as Flutter that uses time proven and familiar HTML/CSS/JS resource definitions instead of Dart. Dart is close to JS but not JS, Flutter has some DOM but not HTML DOM, it has some style system but quite rudimental one.
Basically, you have to go to specialty food stores (the arabian ones are really awesome from my experience) to actually find yogurt that's deserving of the name. For some reason the yogurt sold in regular supermarkets in the US is 'low fat' and 'strange consistency'.
It's a shame. I doubt that they had any copyrighted work, it was just some reverse engineering.
There's a gulf between "hire only yes-men" and "hire activists who openly state a desire to undermine the company, who break its policies and share its internal documents to forward that agenda, and generally spend their global-0.1%-level salary accusing the company of actively harming the least among us".

False dichotomies are bad.
>In other words, if her paper had made Google look good

A more charitable assumption might be that they wanted her paper to address feedback from the reviewers in lieu of being published as is. The feedback that she was presenting a biased interpretation by leaving unmentioned the existing work being done to combat bias in the models.
Maybe it's better for the world that Google doesn't do anything AI research-related.
For me at least, it really was sincere, but in retrospect I was terribly naive about the shared cultural context required to make it work. My idea of "be authentic, be yourself" just didn't include a lot of people who authentically disagree with me on what a good working environment is like.
This amazed me today, that 3dfx built such a beast back then. Good memories.
It's entirely probable that this experience is shared by plenty of others, we just don't hear much from you guys.

If you're curious to discover whether you dream or not, have someone wake you when you're in REM sleep. Your favourite search engine will help you to determine when this is happening. Usual caveats apply about taking advice from a random person on the internet.

If you're not entering REM sleep but you feel fine, hey, nice. Contact a sleep scientist and ask if they want to study you.

If you enter REM but have no dreams, hey, nice. You're apparently in the minority. Contact a sleep scientist and all if you want to study you.

the average software employee who can also, in principle, invest in their own (public) company via their IRA

If they don't run the company it's effectively an arm's-length transaction. Nobody at Google is going to juice the stock price because one employee bought a few shares.
Bitcoin is best understood as a timestamping service that signs up to 1MB of information every 10 minutes. Recording monetary transactions is only one of its applications.

The 10 minute interval is an important part of the consensus mechanism as it has been proven secure both theoretically and practically. With shorter block interval and odds of orphan blocks and small chain reorgs would become more likely and this could break some aspects of security model such as zero-conf transactions.

By the way larger blocks don't take longer to hash - only the fixed size header is used for PoW. However larger or more blocks do require more bandwidth and storage to process.

I think there's a wide gulf between healthy skepticism and mockery or dismissal. It should be totally acceptable (if not laudable) to investigate unpopular or long-tail ideas. Sure, a lot of them will not amount to anything, but you also have a chance of discovering something totally unexpected.
