No, and my response refers to the whole post.

The parent chose the usage of gay as an example of one direction of the push and pull of "language influences norms" and "norms influence language" but that dynamic only really applies when language develops naturally. When people start purposely influencing language then that goes out the window. Reclaiming the gay, f*g, queer, etc. was and is an active effort by the LGBT community and allies to directly influence norms through language.

The character wasn't just in the level design. It had Duke's goofy monologue, toilet humor, hookers, and some semblance of plot. It had an attitude factor that played well to a lot of people in the time of No Fear t-shirts, eXtreme sports, and the WWF/WWE Attitude Era.

Quake was more of a technical marvel, but was aimed at a more alternative aesthetic that saw it use vague murky levels, Nine Inch Nails collab, and a Lovecraftian end boss.

Faster Payments integrates directly with banks, rather than card processors.

It replaces (for transfers under £250k) the older electronic transfer system, BACS.

Otherwise, it looks similar, although Visa/MC is an additional middleman compared to Faster Payments, which is just between the banks.
I was always intrigued by AMD processors in the 90s, although pretty much stuck with Intel.

I built an Athlon 64 PC in 2004 - it was the first 64-bit consumer processor. Intel was going down the Itanium path, and AMD just added 64-bit extensions to X86, which ended up being the winning strategy. I remember writing an article about it for my job at the time.

That served me well until I upgraded to a Phenom II X6 in 2010. I was super excited by the prospect of having 6 cores, even though I had no real use for that many. That PC lasted me for over 10 years, although I did upgrade the RAM, added an SSD, and upgraded the GPU twice. Was still a competent PC at the end for both gaming and software development, and managed to part it out for a decent amount of money.

Late last year I finally succumbed the the Ryzen itch and upgraded to a Ryzen 5600x. It's a fantastic platform, and hopefully that PC will last me another 10 years with only minor upgrades.

I'd be curious if any of the Shopify app devs in this thread have an opinion on how they handle customer data.

As a Shopify store owner, I was aghast how common it was on the platform to require allowing third party apps entirely too much information about my end customers. I was very uncomfortable leaving some otherwise promising apps installed in my store, and eventually gave up on Shopify entirely.

This is something that we will see happen more and more in the future. We are moving slowly to a more decentralized infrastructure than the current one, it's only plausible that malware writers will adopt more decentralized techniques.

I would probably use another crypto. Dogecoin would probably allow for a bigger payload at a smaller price. Eliminating the api calls described could be possible by implementing such a thing on ethereum, including a full client and running it in light mode. However the described method is much more light-weight

1. Because people like Python.

2. The type system is both gradual and not enforced by default. This means you benefit from the rapid prototyping and general freedom of dynamically-typed code, but you have the option to layer on the additional safety of static type checking as the project grows. There aren't many other gradually-typed languages out there anyway; Julia, Typed Racket, and Common Lisp aren't exactly in widespread industry use for general-purpose server dev.

I gave $12,000 to affordable-housing nonprofits last year. If just 5 other people did the same every year, we could almost sustain one tent [0].

The costs involved here are a bottomless pit. That donation made me feel good, but if it helped even one person, it was only for a couple of months.

Housing in San Francisco is a zero sum game. Unless attitudes towards development and density can be changed, the only way to house 10,000 people is to outbid 10,000 others. It is hard for a charity to win that game.

Does anyone have any experiences with Saleor? Shopify's tech seems like a clusterfuck by 2021 standards in a lot of ways (Liquid templates make theme reusability a pain or borderline impossible; backend issues mentioned in this thread), and yet, I'm not sure any of its mature proprietary competitors (Magento, BigCommerce, etc) are any better; if anything, I consistently hear that they are worse with some caveats.

What I am trying to figure out is if Shopify is "bad" or just "warty" -- I realize that is subjective and heavily depends on what one is trying to use it for, but it's still a challenge to reason about.

I think I a bit can understand how you think. Looking at some health care related apps, I was surprised to see how buggy they were (the user interface) and silly built, wrt security.

On the other hand, without computers, the alternative seems to be that the health care staff picks up the phone and just assumes you are the one you say you are

While I'm not going to comment if Joe Biden's situation fits the definition of criminal bribery, it is very similar to the situation with South Korean President Park Geun-hye who went to prison for 20 years for bribery related to policy decisions that were made in exchange gifts given to a close friend.

One of Hunter Biden's business partners -- the one the "big guy" email was sent to -- has come out that Joe Biden was directly involved in Hunter's business and taking money from it. He even shared emails and text messages that the Bidens told him the keep Joe's involvement a secret for obvious reasons.

Another tool that I've been happy with is Loopio. They do have the "Magic" capability that tries to automate answers. Given the consistent structure of security questions, they had a higher match / completion rate, but their UX was a little difficult to navigate. Again, software only solution, but something that might be interesting for comparisons.
The default is reaching to the top left corner of the keyboard. I know the default and it's terrible if someone uses vim. In macOS it's trivial to remap the caps lock key to ESC system wide through the built in preferences. So while it's not that way out the box, it's certainly in the realm of default configurations any user might make on their machine.

Noise was a hard problem as well. In the end what helped us a lot was to keep the FX device in its own case and even solder the digi potis right in place where the real potis had been before. You can see that here:
https://im.static-thomann.de/pics/images/stompenberg/backsta...

The relais modules are on the outside of the case, but on the left you will see a flatband cable (digital) run inside of the case, where the digipoti modules will sit. So all analog signals never leave the original case and the metal housing shields all kinds of external interference.

This is wildly overstated. The big example here is the Department of Agriculture moving headquarters to Kansas City.

But... that's also much closer to the people they are actually regulating. And if you think Kansas City isn't a "real city" able to attract competent bureaucrats, you are way too deep in the swamp.
There is a valid point here, which is that it's sometimes difficult to know what "the right thing to do" is in Rust, because it is a large language. I agree and can sympathize. I happen to like Zig also, FWIW.

But it does need to be said, that the approach he was using with Rust was absolutely not the right tool for the job. The author should have been using traits. That's what they're for, and they definitely aren't an obscure language feature.
The Celsius temperature scale is an interval scale [0] which means that it is possible to calculate differences but not ratios. The Kelvin temperature scale is a ratio scale [0] (it has an "absolute zero") that allows to do that.

Beside that if there are uncertainties involved, one should do proper propagation of uncertainty anyways. [1]

> Technically any license can be changed if the company holds the copyright.

If a codebase uses a well-defined license - like, say, the GNU GPL or Mozilla MPL or Apache license - then unless the company is the FSF, Mozilla, or Apache (respectively), then I know with reasonable certainty that as long as they're using that license with that name, the terms won't be changing under my eyes.

The same can't be said of some product-specific "ElasticSearch License" or "CockroachDB License" or "MongoDB License" or what have you. With these, I'm back to having to read EULAs one by one, because the meaning of "$PRODUCT License" can change at pretty much any time.

Well I'm never going to understand any mental state that I don't explicitly live in. I don't understand why someone flips their lid and murders someone, and no amount of education changes that.

I don't understand how someone who wins the lottery feels, and no amount of education will change that either.

At some point we need to realize that it's not someone else's job to validate whatever feelings and internal shit that we got going on in our heads. At the end of the day, it's not anyone else's job to "identify" with your preferences, and if someone thinks that your sexual preferences are gross, that's actually OKAY.

I think many people assume that everyone needs to be okay with everyone else's preferences, but not only is that totally unrealistic, but what does it accomplish? You're not going to rid malice and evil from the world by accepting everyone's preferences, so what are we trying to solve by "educating" everyone about transgenderism?
I personally use it just to display the currently playing track on Music--which actually solved a huge gap.

It was amazing to me that I couldn't find anything else to do just a basic "track playing" I could always see, without an always-on-top window blocking real estate. It seemed so obvious but nobody was offering that without adding a ton of other crap on top or making an intrusive windowed UI.

Then this little script executor with a per-menu output schema worked great. I was able to customize a basic "current track" script that either came with or was around as a plugin/sample and get it working to my exact spec within an hour.

What was especially awesome was when I moved to Catalina and the AppleScript targets changed from iTunes to Apple Music and broke automation, I was able to fix it in 30s by editing the script file for the new target name and it just worked. It was great to not have to wait on anyone else.

I'll definitely be trying the reboot.

This is a totally valid opinion of innovation management and I share it mostly... So quick background I've been involved in 3 startups now with varying degrees of success (1 included an exit). In all of those cases we had our early days where 'ideas' pretty much drove the bus. We had an idea... we validated it (at least in the 1 case of exiting lol) and grew from there. Then something happens when there are 50 people in the office... people have ideas... ideas about the product, ideas about the sales, ideas about the fridge in the break room. Whatever. Point is, now the path forward isn't so clear and version 2 of the product is not as obvious as version 1 was. Processes that worked in the beginning are straining and the founders don't always know exactly why. Do they need to be ripped out and replaced or just incrementally changed. Now in the case of a startup it means the founder clears the schedule, sits down with people and figures shit out. In a large company (250+ people) that's not even possible. It would have been nice if as a founder I didn't have to clear the schedule and brute force this, would have been nice if I could have had a pipeline of ideas that helped team leads quickly approve incremental changes and founders understand new problems and make larger strategic decisions without turning to divination :P (which happens). Sort of like a CRM for ideas... this is how I think about innovation management. Innovation shouldn't a new management objective that demands you show what you 'innovated' on this quarter or your fired.

It's a race to the bottom.

Light with more white in it feels brighter.

Drivers prefer whiter headlights because it feels like the road is more illuminated.

Car manufacturers move to HID or LED projectors for whiter light.

Whiter light causes the pupil to contract significantly more.

Drivers with contracted pupils from the white headlights find the yellow sodium bulbs in streetlights and parking lots too dim.

Governments and businesses replace the sodium bulbs with bright white LEDs.

At every step along the way we're seeing less of the night. Shadows become darker. A person or animal coming in from the shadowed roadside is increasingly invisible. A mugger can jump you from an alley with no chance of being seen because the shadows are so deep.

Now we have to increase the portion of the Earth that's illuminated at night for "safety". This disrupts animals more and deepens the shadows further.

It's incredibly stupid and there's no way to stop it without some overarching power a) doing a scientific study into night lighting and b) using that as a reason to impose intense lighting regulations and enforcement.

Too late now.

DUSK is a great exception to that, where they actually used a very heavily modified version of Unity to get something similar to ioquake or the early DOOM engines. IIRC most of the graphics programming was actually done to stop Unity from making the game "look better" :)

There's a lot of homelessness in queer youth because they've been disowned by their families.

People in poverty have difficulty accessing health care, and birth control goes along with that. Depending where you live, there might be a holy war being waged on free birth control. If your parents are homeless, you might be put in a foster home until you're old enough to be a homeless adult.
I'm not sure you can infer that because the worst predictions of alarmists didn't immediately happen, there is no danger in not having network neutrality.

Assuming an ulterior motive is unnecessary, the stated motive seems good enough, they don't want a network to freeze out their services in order to promote their own.
I think instead of "legitimacy", which doesn't mean anything, what you're really saying is "approved by the West and Israel". Similar to Gaza's election or many South American socialist governments, if people make the wrong choice then democracy is discarded.

> I bet protests will still be harder to organize than on the Tahrir square, but not impossibly so (unlike eg Kazachstan, Equatorial Guinea, Myanmar, Brazil etc)

Brazil's capital was moved from Rio de Janeiro to Brasília to try to solve the perceived problem that the Brazilian federal government was focused on the needs of the coastal area around Rio, and moving it to a more central location would make it more responsive to the needs of the country as a whole. I don't think avoiding protests was a major part of the decision. It was planned for decades – article 3 of the 1891 constitution [0] said the capital should be moved to central Brazil, but the move wasn't actually implemented until 1960.

Australia is another country with a planned capital – Canberra. In Australia's case, both Sydney and Melbourne wanted to be the capital. The compromise [1] was that the capital would be located in a federal territory to be carved out of New South Wales, more than 100 miles from Sydney, and Melbourne would serve as the temporary capital until then.

The term comes from dedicated synth chips such as the C-64’s SID chip and was used for subsequent music in that style. Generally this was simple waveforms, filters and fast arpeggiation to approximate chords. An example from The Last Ninja on C64: https://youtu.be/1OjPpVrc3gM

Nearly all scene trackers were basically sample sequencers, not MIDI (excluding rare exceptions such as OctaMED which could send midi events as well.)

Chiptune music in the tracker era often meant using a small synth style waveform as the sample so that the music sounded similar to earlier computers. Cracktros with small footprints often did this, example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBv1VHy0Igk

Early demoscene music was often influenced by Italo Disco and it’s offshoots, which were relatively obscure in the states thanks to the homophobic Disco Sucks movement.

‘Chiptune’ in the early console sense gained popularity a bit later, around the time of the VGmix/OCRemix communities. (As well as the LSDJ NullSleep phase where people danced to Gameboy producers.)
