In general the publisher pays for development. For big games from known studios, you get a several million dollar advance that pays for development of the game. The game's royalties payback the advance and hopefully you earn something.

That is why EA owns so many game studios one big flop and suddenly you owe EA a couple of million.
I don't see how that would help much, as registers are a terrible way to name variables. I think you just want to avoid assembly as much as possible, in general.
Most apps downloaded from Aurora Store will not work on Google-free Android versions, because mainstream apps on the Google Play Store tend to require Google Play Services for even basic functionality.
You are assuming on their behalf that the plan for a novel virus would be the same as for the flu.

I found this assertion, near the end of the article, questionable:

“Science as inquiry,” with its focus on evidence and logic, can do no more than communicate the details of a few empirical studies.

To my knowledge, inquiry can be as broad or as narrow as one wishes to make it. The utility of evidence and logic is not limited to narrow domains, is it?

I hope I’m not just cherry picking something to satisfy my own biases.
I don't think most folks understand the problem, although the essay is getting there. In general, I don't think epistemology can be taught until pupils have enough world experience to map what's being taught with the rest of the body of scientific literature. In general, and I am wildly stereotyping, all people want a quick answer and then to move on. Younger people tend to do this quicker. Older people tend to dwell too long on all of the possibilities. Epistemological understanding of how science actually works encourages us to accept both of these tendencies as being needed. That's a tough thing to get across if people are already predisposed to learning the quick answer and going to the next topic, whether that's in a blog entry, book, or secondary school education. I'm not sure it's possible.

Quite related: I published this a couple of days ago. Been debating whether or not to submit it here. It's a difficult subject. It's extremely important, but sadly simply because it's important doesn't mean people will be able to accept or understand it.

tl;dr This is a problem because it's not the kind of thing that people consume well. See HN reactions.
And you say no I don't have time or your president said horrible things and you didnt distance yourself from him (MDPI) and they come back begging you to still review or give them the name of someone who could. Quality of reviewing has been ridiculous these last couple of years for this reason, and they start to go lower in the ranks. Many professors ask their grad students to review papers for them (so they benefit for it in their performance reviews while not doing the work)
I would think that an actual bad actor would choose an inconspicuous name, not a clear “IAmAGreyHat” name. But, of course, that’s what they’d want me to think, so who knows.
Hard disagree. The nature of "science" should be woven into all of these courses. That will be what all students can take away from the science classes, not just the students who decide to stick with them after seeing if they "enjoy" them. (And do we teach English or history simply to see if kids will "enjoy" them later?)

Most good schools actually already do this as part of their standards-based curriculum. The Next Generation Science Standards [1] has "Practices" as one of its three key strands, which focuses on how to ask questions like a scientist, what evidence is, how you design an experiment, etc. The nature of "inquiry" is applicable to all future understanding of what scientists do, more so than memorizing whether mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell.

Yep, exactly. I have no problem with gentle reminders to check out pro features. Or maybe a recommendation engine ("Refer 10 of your friends to us and we'll give it to you for free"). Or making it clear to new users that the service tiers are now different and grandfathering-in the legacy free tier (like Gsuite used to do).

There's any of a dozen possibilities that allows you to monetize your service without antagonizing long-time users (if you believe LastPass really had an unsustainable ratio of free to paying customers, which I actually don't, I think they're just trying to milk it).

Adding spyware/trackers to a privacy-centric app and forcing customers to "pay up or leave" at a moment's notice, nah, there is no good excuse for that.

Correct, because the east and west grids are not synchronized you can’t really transfer power between them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_power_transmiss...

> The Eastern Interconnection and the Western Interconnection are the largest. Three other regions include the Texas Interconnection, the Quebec Interconnection, and the Alaska Interconnection. Each region delivers power at a nominal 60 Hz frequency. The regions are not usually directly connected or synchronized to each other, but there are some HVDC Interconnectors.

I can see their latency in the client, but I can't hear it.

Imagine spending all this time and effort to defend your dogwhistle. Yikes.
I was having this exact discussion with a philosophy of science major a few days ago. We were both bothered by the current fetishization of science.
It's troubling that otherwise well-educated, logical people have come to elevate science as this god-like authority, and scientific consensus as the source of all truths.

The discussion came to Kuhn and the often touted belief in popular culture that science is not always completely right but in essence it's one big model of nature that keeps getting better and so we should trust it implicitly, while ignoring the concept of paradigm shift that arises specifically from people outside the consensus. Coupled with the fact that dissent gets blurred with denialism, and that the absence of evidence has come to mean "evidence of absence" on the news, it's become really tricky to discuss things critically without being openly mocked.

I wish I had time to read more philosophy, even as a scientist you learn a whole bunch about science, it's really enlightening.
Science is also more accessible now. There are more academics and universities pumping out papers than ever before, whereas in the past only the best were able to get into academia.

> Moreover, scientific agreement among experts —typically interpreted by logical empiricists as the result of univocal scientific method and as an indicator of truth— should be seen more critically for what it is: social agreement.

Isn't the whole point of science that you can get out of that by trying? Apply your theories in practice, and see if they work. It doesn't matter whether the theory goes with or against general consensus.

That unfortunately doesn't hold for theories that describe only minute, very restricted domains. And that not only includes fields like dark matter, where experimentation is nearly impossible, but also 99.9% of the social sciences, where consensus is the only yard stick for theories that by far outsize the data on which they are based. Fortunately for the discussion, the author kept that thorny problem far away by focusing on the safe area of natural sciences.

Now back to the article: "science education ... should normalize scientific disagreement (distinguishing it from science denialism) and include discussion of the social epistemological institutions and processes by which scientific inquiry proceeds. These include the education of future researchers as graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, the peer review process for grants and publications, the discursive interactions of researchers in laboratory meetings and conferences, diversity and inclusion issues, and the norms of scientific integrity."

While social aspects of practicing science may throw some light on why one theory gets more traction than another, it seems to me putting the cart before the horse. It will not make students appreciate the difference between the competing theories, but will make science education a dull exercise in processes and factoids, to be listed in a test, where you'll get a passing grade if you can keep "epistemological" and "inquiry" apart.

And in the worst case, it will undermine the last bit of trust in science, because it's just an attempt at a centralizing power grab. Who proves that which ideas about these issues are right? I doubt the author has even got the tiniest bit of data to underline her argument.

The reality is much more nuanced than that, especially when you're dealing with sensitive human-subjects data. Confidentiality and consent are important factors to consider.

Still do, so I refer people to the resources anytime something like this pops up.

>The problem is, most if not all Android devices do not provide some secure-enclave like architecture where the crypto key to unlock is secured by hardware design, but rather simple software solutions where the master unlock key resides in memory

Why is this relevant? Even if you do have secure enclave, if you can do arbitrary memory reads a malicious app can simply wait until your database is unlocked and dump your database when it's unencrypted in memory. Moreover, if you have some sort of exploit that gives you operating system level access, you can simply impersonate the password manager app (eg. changing uids, or patching the executable in-memory) and get the secure enclave to do the decryption.

Qt is smaller than Electron, but there are far less bloated HTML5 renderers than the whole giant blob that Electron ships. Compared to those Qt is similarly sized or larger.
I’m going to ignore the characters such as % and $, and also the parameter order (sortove)

There’s also the fact that the Intel and AMD x86 manuals list them as

MNEMONIC dst, src1

GAS does this:

MNEMONIC src1, dst

Which is fine, but what about 3 and 4 operand instructions? I always have to look that up. 8087 FPU instructions also (in GAS), due to a historical quirk, are in “Intel” form:

MNEMONIC dst, src

Then there’s that whole indirect syntax of:

segment:displacement(base,index,scale)

Whereas “Intel” syntax is much clearer:

segment:[base + index*scale + displacement]

This leads to weird things like:

[ebx*2+10] ; I can see what that’s doing
10(,%ebx,2) ; I need to remember what the order is and convert it in my head

I’m not trying to convince anyone here. If you like “AT&T” syntax, that’s fine with me. I just prefer “Intel” syntax because of these reasons.
Steam also promotes games, has reviews of them, and suggests games directly to players. The first time I personally heard of many of the games I play has been through Steam, Humble, GOG, Epic's game launcher/store app or other launchers and game selling sites.

I also can reinstall hundreds of games from Steam without remembering who developed it, who paid for the development, or who published it to Steam. I just tell the Steam client to install it based on the name of the game. That's a great usability and convenience feature.

How often have you heard the phrase "gravity/evolution/sedimentation/cosmology is just a theory".

Maybe some of the people who are using that are rhetorical, but as somebody who was very invested in the Evangelical Christian community in Arizona for the better part of a decade, there are a lot of people who believe it genuinely, that when scientists use the word "theory", it should be understood to mean "guess".

Interesting. Wonder if the next iMac release will be M1-only - which would be pretty bad for a large part of the "creative audience" that iMacs are supposedly targeted at, given that the infrastructure is not there yet to make the switch (e.g. in music making, the plugins will take years to catch up and get rebuilt).

I’m not a lawyer, but isn’t it reasonable to pull the plug as soon as the publisher had lost the contract termination lawsuit? Otherwise it seems like a loophole if the publisher can keep appealing indefinitely while getting (and withholding from game dev) all profits from the sales.

> they didn’t deliver the game

I don’t think either of us knows what exactly the delivery entailed (if you do, you could share a source), but as far as I understand the game was delivered as it was sold by the publisher (who kept and/or didn’t completely disclose profits—against the terms, it appears) and played by the users.

> they state publisher asked for code, but there is no indication they demanded

According to their post, publisher hired another studio to work on a similar game, and apparently wanted to have the code for that purpose. “Ask for” is different from “demand”, I agree, though it does sound like they were pressured.

That aside, are you basically saying the game dev is lying and their contract with the publisher was different from what they claim in their posts? I guess we can’t say for sure, absent evidence, but I don‘t see why they’d lie here.

"No one" - Lots of people have a lack of awareness of what the other side thinks.

"Look, I understand being principled, but get real. They don't give a damn about principles and will break every rule to get their way. It's time to fight dirty like they do."

"Our side isn't perfect but they're authoritarians."

BOTH sides say all of these things. And they seem to think it's a joke when the other side claims to see it the same way.

Simplifying a bit, I believe it's important to distinguish between hard, experimental science (physics), not fully experimental science (climate, medicine) and social science (economics). For instance, medicine is not fully experimental in the sense that you cannot take the same person and subject it repeatedly to the same, or a slightly different, experiment.

Hard science has a) better tools at its disposal (repeatable experiments) and b) is not subject to the influence of financial interests. Companies don't care about this or that theory, all they care about are results that work and provide useful technology.

Some companies do, however, have a strong interest in the outcomes of research in climate change, medicine, and economics, so they will exercise influence on research precisely in those domains that are less founded in experimentation and more uncertain.
