I too, played Mtg, starting at 3rd edition, playing through fallen empires. I have some of them still, but nothing very valuable.

The thing missing from these virtual items are a framework to ensure they can actually carry value.

And that could be NFTs or something similar. It makes sense to me, even if some of the “valuable” assets so far do not.

But then again what does my almost-tournament winning goblin grenade deck mean to a roblox player now? Presumably, little.
That’s not really an answer at all. And it’s not even true. At least when it comes to gyms they have huge numbers of people that keep paying without going.
Oof, I didn't even think of that
If a fire supression kicks in or the fire department shows up with their hoses, would they still say the fire destroyed it or just say destroyed due to fire and water damage?

Also, fire suppression system do fail. There was an infamous incident in LA for one of the studios. They built a warehouse to be a tape vault with tapes going back to the 80s. A fire started, but the suppression system failed because there was not enough pressure in the system. Total loss. Got to keep your safety equipment properly tested!
Well there's no beating Minecraft for value. Except you are aware that Roblox is a completely free game? Not all of the player-made content has PTW elements forced into it.

This is neat. Over Docsumo, I've had fun to build one of the pipelines [0] to extract tables from any kinds of documents.
Our older pipelines use image-processing-based approaches. However, they had too much assumptions in them (for instance, header texts, column types, etc).

Now, we've moved onto to ML-based approach to train generic models that can be applied to variety of documents for table structure recognition.

Ask HN: Why don’t toasters have built in smoke detectors?
crazygringo asked “Why don't microwave ovens have IR cameras to tell when food is done?” [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26405947], but I want to know why toasters don’t have a built in smoke detector that can shut off the power as soon as the toast starts to burn, preventing the kitchen smoke alarm from triggering? Seems simple, obvious and cheap to implement.
I am curious where you get that impression. From what I could see, recent releases have just been "smoothing over pits" / filling in obvious type holes left over from older changes. Changes in rust edition 2021 are tiny and it seems to only exist in order to establish a regular cadence.

> the biggest difference from the west IMO is that there has been close to 100% mask usage (eyeballing in Tokyo, about 95% surgical masks) for over a year now

I had something in there about this, but deleted it because I thought it was distracting from the main point, and any mention of masks brings out the politics.

That said: I see an...well, let's just call it interesting...number of Japanese people socializing in small restaurants, bars, etc. without wearing masks. Likewise, it's really common to see TV talent wandering around Tokyo wearing no mask, or one of those teeny tiny transparent plastic chin-visor things [1]. I see it literally every day (via facebook, instagram, LINE, etc.) Try to wear one of those in a grocery store in San Francisco or New York. I dare you.

Is this "proof"? No, of course not. But I do roll my eyes when people present Japan as a magical masking wonderland. The truth is more complicated. Just like New York or SF right now, people walk around with masks on the street, where they do ~no good. They then go inside to tiny, crowded bars and restaurants...and take off their masks. At the very least, this is all a bit overblown.

(If you want my speculation, I think the fact that Japanese people have a culture of being quiet probably plays a bigger role than masks. There aren't a lot of people talking loudly in crowded public spaces. Except for bars and restaurants, people are quiet and respectful of shared space. One of the things I loved most about living there.)

It's been a bad saying for a long time.

People (and laws, at least in many places) just don't care enough about this stuff. It's just an extra revenue stream, it's there, and it doesn't really cost you much to tap it. Bury some opt-out in some onerous process and you're covered (if even that is required) and people mostly won't complain too much, and will actually change their behavior less. Taking it lets you compete more on things people do care about, or helps you pad the bottom line.

For actual change here we need either regulations with teeth, or consumer behavior to change enough that there's a real cost to doing this stuff. Probably both. To a significant extent there aren't necessarily competitors for people to switch to in a lot of areas that are meaningfully better on privacy, and (relatedly) people often don't actually know or notice what these companies are doing, so it's tough to have "market forces" do much even if people did care.

I'd put it slightly differently. Germans won't fund Philips. France wants CI Honeywell Bull, not Olivetti.

If you want to invest, you either back new starts which wind up being a race to host them, or you back collaborative projects which force Bull, Olivetti, ICL, to work together. Sorry, they just never really work. Too much competitive tension.

I agree that this naming and shaming doesn't do any good. Especially looking at this list, some of these are preprints. I think journals should start asking for all code used along with the data being deposited somewhere accessible to other researchers in order for the paper to be accepted. Ideally reviewers should have been asking for this, but they haven't, so it's up to the editors.
Collagen peptides are some of the bioactive peptides referred to in your citation that are known to be capable of passing beyond the gut in more than de minimis quantities... (Though in this context, it's still a small amount of the collagen originally consumed, between 1-10%.)

One thing I haven't seen mentioned in the comments is how easy it is to quickly iterate on Cloud Run. I built a web app that uses Cloud Run for 90% of my server needs (Cloud Functions for the rest). One of my favorite features is that I can make some local changes, upload the container, and click a button to deploy the latest version or A/B test. Then if I notice anything weird I can just as easily revert the changes, which has saved me a few times. Admittedly, I haven't used VMs in years and it might be just as easy there these days with containerized VMs, but I don't know. Cloud Run was so trivial to set up that I didn't want to waste time on alternatives. Another really nice thing is that it integrates nicely with Firebase, which I use for hosting.

As my site matures, I might move some predictable parts to containerized VMs to save on costs. I have a crawler-type service that has extremely consistent traffic that probably shouldn't be on Cloud Run, but I did it anyway due to being able to iterate so quickly (see revisions here: https://imgur.com/fkFtIRM). Cloud Run also has a free tier which was enough when I was starting out and prototyping. It's also nice since my site gets very little traffic at night so at the moment the cost is not too bad. This is what my billing looks like: https://imgur.com/gIo3IGJ

If I was a big company or my site got super popular I might do things differently. But for a side project it has made me enjoy programming more than anything I've used before because I can focus 95% on code.

If something is known to be dangerous for any human driver, and is implemented anyways, then that seems like reason to have liability with the design of the system. If your brakes required solving a rubik's cube to activate, that would be poor design. This is no different. Humans cannot maintain attention on tasks that require sporadic but high-intensity attention.
I don't think it is. What does it mean for a language to be open-source, if not that there are one or more open-source implementations of that language which support most or all of the extant ecosystem for that language.

I always expect kids running out into the street to be in lots of danger anyways. But the big problem is that weird unusual events while driving are rare, at least in the developed world. That’s why that kid running into the street has a much better chance surviving in crazy Beijing where drivers are very aggressive but on edge all the time vs LA where traffic is much more sane, organized, but drivers get too complacent.
You can't abstract over it in the same way that you can in Haskell, because you have to manage ownership. You can't abstract away ownership as easily, because the language is designed to make you care about ownership.

I write Rust code for my day job, and I frequently use map/reduce/filter. IMO if I can write all my collection-processing code using primitives like that, it's got first-class functions.
From the link: "Camelot only works with text-based PDFs and not scanned documents." If you have character data, using it is almost always going to be more accurate than OCR.

Really? What company can I call up and buy 50 GWh of storage from? That's only 6 minutes worth of storage for the USA.

I'd say if we could provision 1 hour's worth of storage over the span of a decade, that'd amount to a demonstration of economic feasibility. But few of these upcoming technologies are making it out of the prototyping stage, let alone commerical success on this scale.

I don't know how anybody can say this with a straight face.

Even in a systems context I think it's pretty reasonable to want to either perform or receive a HTTP request, as soon as you do that in Rust you are funneled into Hyper or something built on top of it (like reqwest) and instantly are dependent on tokio/mio.

The very first example in the reqwest readme^1 has tokio attributes, async functions AND trait objects.
It's impossible that a beginner attempting to use the language to do anything related to networking won't be guided into the async nightmare before they have even come to grips with the borrow checker.

IMO, Rust already provides a decent amount of way to simplify and skip things. Reference counting, async, proc_macro, etc.

In my experience, programming stuffs at a higher-level-language where things are heavily abstracted, like (cough) NodeJS, is easy and simple up to a certain point where I have to do a certain low-level things fast (e.g. file/byte patching) or do a system call which is not provided by the runtime API.

Often times I have to resort to making a native module or helper exe just to mitigate this. That feels like reinventing the wheel because the actual wheel I need is deep under an impenetrable layer of abstraction.

The people of the US also give a great deal of money to charity:

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-us-is-the-most-generou...

>...Americans give around 3 percent of our collective income to charity — more than the citizens of any other country. Better yet, these are individual Americans, not the government, who are generating the lion’s share of the contributions.

Well I agree that there are some bigger societal shifts going on that are indeed pretty destabilizing. I was just commenting that nuances of the curriculum of high schools, or even undergrad education, around questions of race/gender/capitalism (or whatever woke themes) is not really quite as consequential as I think some folks, including the author of the article that is the subject of the post, make it out to be. All these elite schools, no matter what their political posturing, are still basically just manufacturing future elites who will be perfectly content to perpetuate the status quo in whatever way is advantageous to them. If that involves more racial equity, or different pronouns, or whatever, nobody actually gives a shit as long as their own economic ox is not gored.
The land owners have realized that the working people generating a savings is leaving money on the table.
It wasn’t just “tapes going back to the 80s.” Those were just the media Universal initially admitted to losing. No, that building was the mother lode. It had film archives going back over 50 years, and worst of all — unreleased audio tape masters for thousands upon thousands of recording artists. The amount of “remastered” album potential that fire destroyed is probably in the billions of dollars, let alone the historical loss of all those recordings by historical persons that will never be heard due to a failure of a fire prevention system. Fascinating case study in why you should never put all your eggs in one basket.

Your background: a BS in Chemistry with hobbyist knowledge in C++, Python and SQL. You like VR and graphics. You live in Canada. You are not a Canadian citizen, but can communicate in English.

Your goal: To become a VR software developer with a successful company, a VR developer at someone else's company, a graphics developer, any developer at all, in that order.

Your method: Obtain a MS in CS, also in Canada, which will take three years.

My recommendation:
I do not know of any VR companies in Canada. I do not know of any VR start ups in Canada founded by those with non-traditional CS backgrounds. I do not believe your odds of either starting a VR company in Canada or obtaining employment in VR in Canada to be high. I believe you must move to America to obtain such a position with substantial likelihood.

Graphics is a field with a high knowledge bar. The graphics software developers I know are not just interested in graphics, they are passionate in graphics. Without graphics they would lose part of themselves. They will take substantial, six-figure, pay cuts to work in graphics and expect that passion in other graphics engineers. I do not know if you are that passionate about graphics. I recommend you work in a field other than graphics, which is known for its high-skill and low-pay.

A MS in CS can serve as a foundation for further skills. It can also serve as not a foundation for further skills. I have not met an engineer who has benefited from a MS in CS and I know several such engineers. They did all benefit from leetcode.com however. Perhaps you will prove me wrong. I recommend you do take the MS in CS in whatever you wish to work in, perhaps graphics, but also take courses in things you do not wish to work in, like Perl. Take the time to also prepare for professional interviews.

Might the definition change, as biologists encounter new stuff and develop an interest? Sure. Does that make the old definition wrong? No.
Wouldn't a more 'correct' implementation be moving the buffer into the thing that initiates the future (and thus, abstractly, into the future), rather than refcounting? At least with IOCP you aren't really supposed to even touch the memory region given to the completion port until it's signaled completion iirc.

Ie. to me, an implementation of read() that would work for a completion model could be basically:

async read<T: IntoSystemBufferSomehow>(&self, buf: T) -> Result<T, Error>

I recognize this doesn't resolve the early drop issues outlined, and it obviously does require copying to adapt it to the existing AsyncRead trait, or if you want to like.. update a buffer in an already allocated object. It's just what I would expect an api working against iocp to look like, and I feel like it avoids many of the issues you're talking about.
