I still feel like Empire Earth 2 is the best RTS I've played, and it's hard to determine why I always went back it it instead of continuing with all the Age of Empires.

whats the real difference? I can not say really. Maybe the mechanic of have priests that can convert people? I think that was in populace on the Amiga..

Anyhow I look forward to trying out this open source similar thing and wonder what it takes to get graphics made for the various parts - maybe I could make some or get some others to make some for it and make it more similar to EE.
I didn't know about this plugin and now I do. So more fool them!

You can run auctions in a bunch of different ways; in particular Vickrey–Clarke–Groves has rules such that the optimal strategy is for each participant to bid their true evaluation.

Of course the prices are going to increase. If the supply is the same and the demand increases, the price increases. There is nothing anybody can do about that.

Yes, they are. It's a bit unnerving to have one on one's bedroom wall and be lying there and stairing up at it (they love climbing up high). But at least you can see a Huntsman, on the other hand Funnel-webs rarely leave the floor (so they often hide in shoes, etc.). People get bitten that way (as a kid I was taught to always look in my shoes before putting them on).

If you don't like the look of Huntsman spiders then you'd probably not like to have a jar with a Funnel-web in it on your desk (as I mentioned above). Funnel-webs really do look creepy, that's part of their fascination.
Raymond Hill has stopped developing uMatrix and also stopped accepting PRs because it's currently too much work for him [1]. So be aware that bugs will probably not be fixed.

Who are both of us?

The important point is that "everything is a file" is just a short way to say "everything is a file system". Your interface is not a file descriptor to which you read and write, but a whole tree where there are different files on which you can perform the operations defined in the 9P protocol (create/read/write/...). For example, in the windowing system, you open a file to create a new window, and the new window will have associated a directory with files that represent the screen, mouse and keyboard (and the process running in that window will work with those files exactly as it does with native devices).

You can have a look at the man pages (sections 3 and 4) to see how these filesystems work.

I wonder if the different issues we'd face would be less obfuscating, if science was authored anonymously.

IMO you vastly overestimate the corporate use case.

In my experience in places where Slack was settled on as a corporate messaging solution the three questions asked (in order of importance) were

* "Does it support custom animated emoji"?
* "Does it have website and document previews"?
* "Can I send my notifications to it"?

(It's silly but that's how it is.)

The post is written in a way that might mislead some into thinking that 1) connections are kept after closing the browser, 2) connections are kept indefinitely.

This is not true:

- Firefox keeps it for ~2 minutes and Chrome for ~5 minutes [1].

- Note there's nothing special about closing a browser window. It's the same as closing a tab, from browser's perspective. Many things are kept for a while in memory as well.

>* "True, but those are not a very common tasks".

Pretty much every survival/simulation game with complex mechanics suffers from low performance because at some point the simulation becomes very CPU intensive but parallelizing the code is still extremely difficult because of extensive interdependencies.

If you go with the trivial "divide the problem into the smallest parallelizable components" strategy you will end up with huge interconnected graphs, sometimes there isn't even a second graph that can be put on a second CPU core. If you are insane enough to divide the problem at the agent level then you end up with a synchronization nightmare. Sure, given enough effort you can do these all these things but that only entrenches the perception of parallelism being a last resort instead of being the default solution for everything.

Just an update. This was solved.

I matched my address and removed some extra documents I was providing for approval. It probably needed an exact string match for the address (for which I had to add Flat No to prefix).

I had also in parallel contact Facebook on slack and reached out to someone in the gaming side of the company via a senior person in game arena.

Finally am happy that halfchess is live on Facebook, though the whole process took several months - including the company registration (that too a good 2-3 months and Facebook approval that took around 20 days). I got a bit tense because the I was wondering why facebook is rejecting the app even though I have GST number. The whole thing took 4-5 months.

By the time the 75% of patients get fever from Covid they are often fully aware that something’s not right and are probably not leaving home or have already gotten tested, only the crazy ones would still venture out in that stage.

Importantly, the reason Covid spread this fast is because the disease seems to attain peak infectiousness before symptom onset and definitely before fever onset. This is why SARS was nipped in the bud with IR scanners while Covid wasn’t.

You say that temperature checks don’t hurt but they most definitely do, most places where they do a check, especially in places like India, they think they’ve done enough and don’t enforce strict mask policies or distancing measures any further. If people are forced to stop using temp screening then these places will have to come up with alternative methods of comforting their audience they are taking measures so they would be forced to do actually effective screening methods like taking o2 measurements. So yeah it’s stupid to allow temp checks to pass for any theatre.
You want something that's fair and also selects for good con-goers. It "costs" more to line up hours in advance for a midnight movie showing too, but that's the kind of person you want at your con.

For the official US inflation calculation, this is probably in BLS series CUSR0000SEFT01 (Soups in U.S. city average, all urban consumers, seasonally adjusted). You can get the data (starting from 1978) here: https://beta.bls.gov/dataViewer/view/timeseries/CUSR0000SEFT...

Using BLS numbers, you get a price increase of 346% (=246/71) from Jan 1978 through Jan 2020. If we eyeball the graph from the blog, we're looking at a price increase from $0.19 or $0.20 to $0.85, which is 425% or 447% (starting at $0.19 or $0.20 makes a big difference). Looking closely at the dots of raw data, it looks like most of the recent ads clusterred around the $0.69, $0.79, $0.89 or $1.00 level. If you buy it at the $0.69 level, you're almost exactly at the BLS 346% level, whereas at $1 you're looking at 500%.

On wallmart.com, it seems you can buy it currently at between $0.98, $0.87 (4-pack) or $0.415 (12-pack) per can:

there's lots of public policy that is antagonistic to more grounded science than the social sciences, science that while it can be proven wrong at some point is unlikely to be and if it is proven wrong will probably be in small particulars rather than in the large. Evolutionary theory would be one obvious example.
I think you're right. I do like working from home, but working in the office wouldn't be anywhere near as bad with a private office. Open offices are a scourge. Unfortunately, where I work, the commute wouldn't go away, though. There's no way around it: if everyone goes to work every day there are too many people on the road.

It is legit
It's easy and tempting to say things such as 'X is not science' or 'X is cargo cult science'. However, if you take your X to be large enough, like a whole discipline such as psychology, or computer science, or archaeology etc., the statement becomes a truism - not useful at best, misleading at worst.

Let's take psychology as an example (use computer science in your mind if that's more familiar), it's a vast field spanning the whole spectrum from theoretical to experimental work. You start with something completely unscientific at one end and end up with the essence of the scientific method at the other.
the idea that AI and data compression are isomorphic is really interesting and makes me think of Ashby's law of requisite variety, where the number of possible states (this could also be rendered in information-theoretic terms of entropy) of an agent operating in an environment must be at least as high as the number of states of the environment itself. Thus, to navigate a given environment is to be able to represent that environment internally. Reducing the byte-size of that representation then means that you are representing the environment more tersely, and in my experience (there's probably a theoretical explanation for this but I've only seen it experientially) terser-but-just-as-accurate representations are usually better models.
Partly for this reason, I've been considering starting an open source project to make a mobile-first Web based app/website development environment. That way, whenever I realise I'm distractedly using my phone (not just on the loo!) I can flip over to a different website and get back to figuring out whatever code has got me stumped recently :)

> You claimed that nobody would commit a mass killing with anything but a gun

Phrasing it like that is a bit disingenuous. The only thing I said was mass stabbing was not a thing, which was wrong I guess. You don't have to read it so literally.

The point is gun is one of, if not the most effective vehicle for mass killing.

I'm not quite sure what point you're trying to make by saying you can kill a lot of people with other things too. Yes but it's not as easy as killing with a gun that's why those things have not happened to the same degree.

4.5 billion years until by the laws of physics a state emerged, where macrobodies consisting of billions of cells, fueled by exploitation of energy from chemical reactions, are using movement devices that employ triggered explosions, and are constructing machines which assemble elements on atomic level in such way to make apparatuses which enable the harvest of information by the laws of logic.

I don’t know, people. Maybe I am turning pessimistic, but it took the universe in between a third and a half of its duration of existence to produce a system which yields mass produced RGB keyboards, failed SpaceX launches and climate destroying lifeforms. I would estimate the probability of another biogenesis happening in parallel to ours is very low.
And thus the argument on which absurdly expensive shared goal to choose begins. You want to terraform Venus. I want to develop mind uploading and thus optional immortality. Another person wants to solve world hunger. Somebody else wants to cure cancer. Etc.

> Researchers are judged on published papers? Publish papers that appear just good enough to be published, ignore everything else.

This isn't particularly Chinese, though. Let me clear: by far, most researchers who "make it" in academia are very capable and very highly deserving of their careers. However, it is quite obvious that you can also advance your career by cynically focusing your research in exactly the way you say.

Well I’m unfortunately digging even deeper into my unproven conjecture well but I do have a working hypothesis for the lack of intelligent life - it’s actually really hard to develop intelligence in the human sense. It looks like there are a lot of extremely intelligent creatures even here (parakeets dolphins elephants) which can’t do shit because they lack thumbs and a peoper larynx so it’s possible the real great filter is what Id like to call actionable intelligence where you are smart and are able to apply and communicate this.

Another possibility is that the window in which life following similar intelligence trajectory as us will actually broadcast in measurable frequencies for a short while (centuries) before rapidly moving on to the next phase of their evolution (who knows what it is? Star child? Transcendence? Warp dimension) so we only have thin shells of radio waves expanding from each planet that developed intelligence making it impossible to detect.

I don't own an Apple product and probably never will, so I'm not that familiar with the situation there. In general though, I'm not that fond of private entities being regulators of markets. This is what democratic institutions are for, but unfortunately we don't have strong institutions in this space.
Agreed with this, would not recommend trying to do metered/per unit pricing (that developers may be used to) if your customers aren't familiar with that. We've found that customers readily accept/understand tier based pricing. We literally just changed higher plans from usage based to blocks/tiers of usage based e.g. up to X units per plan
In EU, maybe. However don't forget the lobbying.

Money is actually a power (via buying other people's time and effort to spend on one's problems). The money is also behaves like the mass in Universe: it sticks together in large clots. So the power does too.
You forget things like condensation/solidification of things like CO2 in lower temperatures, so atmosphere composition would change dramatically, and so would overall 'weight' of the column to space you mention.

Anyway as other mention it doesn't change that much in survability, having 116 days long single Venus-day would mean temperature differences would be extreme, probably in hundreds of degrees.

IMO it really depends on what you're trying to grow. I live in the tropics and there are a lot of tropical plants that do indeed thrive when the soil is heavy on the organic matter. I suspect it depends on how far/long these tropical plants have been bred away from their rainforest origins.
First-Order-Wrapper (formerly Yanderify): front-end tool for first-order-motion
Exactly this, but my thinking was that it might have some value to the publisher to build a marketplace around the content.

As an example - games like Fortnite, Warzone and Apex Legends rely on loot as the sole driver of revenue. Having in-game rare items freely tradable akin to the trading card concept that NFTs are constantly compared to could have value in itself.

If I’m a real fan of one of those games and I stumble upon a diamond-encrusted level 100 golden sniper rifle (sorry I’ve no idea what a good example of a rare item is in one of those games), then the money someone may pay for that is (e.g.) $1k.

Giving me the ability to sell that on to someone could not only drive publicity for the game (EVE online made world news years ago because of the real monetary value lost in their battles) but encourage me to play that game over rivals as there’s perceptible real-world value for my invested time and effort.

The downside I was thinking of above is that the publisher may not want to enable that for a bunch of reasons - the suggestion above sounds like a good way to resolve their revenue on the transactions, but the status quo of the items being non-transferable may be preferable as they’ll overall sell more loot directly to individual customers under the current system.
