I can share some insight here. I got into .NET (Core) by virtue of joining a company that used it, after previously focusing mostly on Python and JavaScript (with a self-taught background in C going back to childhood prior to that).

Initially I had the same tribalism that a lot of people seem to have towards .NET, for whatever reason. Eventually though, my conclusions:

- .NET Core is pretty reasonable. Platform agnostic, easy to work with, decent command-line tooling, and doesn't force you into an IDE vertical unless you want to.
- C# can be a nice language for certain types of business applications. I think it has a lot of the good modeling properties that once made Java the de-facto language for enterprise development, without some of the verbosity and other drawbacks (though maybe Java has changed too since I last looked at it :) ). It plays very nicely with Domain Driven Design and event sourcing, both of which are patterns that I find valudable on large-scale systems for managing business transactions.

Overall TLDR: I probably wouldn't use .NET if I started a company tomorrow, but when I start coding non-trivially sized things in Python I sometimes miss elements of what .NET/C# brings (particularly interfaces, which obviously also exist in other languages).

I wonder if they've reinvented the game yet to have similar themes (and that glorious fake money) but to improve on the shortcomings of it, mostly the mid - endgame when it's just a lot of going around the board and waiting for rent to come in / other player's money to drain.
Mark Zuckerberg says he’s standing up for you. Yes, you.
Not a fan of that IX. On mobile and there is weird wrapping which breaks the indentation making it hard to read.
Probably because luck based games are incredibly easy to setup and play for new players. I assume a lot of Chutes/Snakes & Ladders have sold as well.
> I also want to try to bring this app to as many languages as I can, but I have to be able to source the necessary definitions from somewhere, and I've really found that there's nothing quite like Jisho.org when it comes to their API.

Many dictionary projects let you download a dump of all definitions that you can query locally. Actually, even jisho.org is backed by dictionary files sourced elsewhere, as stated on their about page https://jisho.org/about .

If you want dictionaries in a single format for as many languages as possible, you can try FreeDict https://freedict.org/downloads/#dictionary-downloads but if you're looking for specific language pairs, they might not be covered there.
> stuff like Xamarin Forms and abandoning it half-way through

Eh? I've worked on projects using Xamarin Forms, and they turned out just fine.

Yes, it would be nice if there were a few more controls in the main Xamarin Forms library, but I don't see a problem with the community picking up some of the slack (which they have).
It's interesting so many fans had an emotional reaction to a for-profit club playing in another for-profit league. Entertainment truly has a grip on human civilisation.
I like the ideas of "solar gravitational lensing telescopes" and "lunar crater radio telescopes". The former would place a telescope extremely far from the sun and use its gravitational lensing effect, the latter would turn a crater on the moon into a giant radio dish. Here is a link for the latter.

How would you cope with 100 guilds limit?
Sometimes I put in a lot more, sometimes I put in a lot less. I used to try to keep balance, but I hate WFH so much that I've just given up. I suspect some of your colleagues may be feeling this way too (not necessarily "abusing the system").
As Matt Levine pointed out today, the JP Morgan money is a loan with a 2-3% interest rate. They worded it in a really weird way, presumably for PR reasons, but it was just a loan
They would get an initial ~€300M for signing on [1], then a further €130-200M per year [2]. That presumably doesn't include matchday income, which could be a lot higher per match than now due to the higher quality opposition / teams involved. This would also presumably grow alongside the popularity of the competition.

Right now Premier league clubs get around €100M from broadcasting rights [3: this source is from a few years ago but gives a good breakdown of the clubs' income]. Broadcasting income is a lot lower in Spain and Italy, hence those clubs needing the ESL more. The ESL clubs planned to continue in their own domestic leagues too.

Here is a breakdown of the Champion's league money (which the ESL proposed to replace): [4]. Each decent team which reached the knockouts (so most of the teams involved in the ESL) would earn around €40M, with the winner earning around €80M. So winning the Champion's league would be worth less than simply competing in the ESL.

This all doesn't include sponsorship money.

Edit: I also want to note that of the 6 English teams, only 4 can qualify for the Champion's league every year. The others usually go to the less lucrative Europa league, for which the payout for winning is less than for simply participating in the Champion's league. This year those clubs were Tottenham and Arsenal - so even more benefit for those two clubs.

All those things will never break among the common folk.

The common folk wants ease of use above anything else. It has to be as easy as sending money via paypal.

No doubt ETH can be the base of that technically, but the model which has ETH holders make money off the appreciation of the ETH token in the process is flawed.

Fortune500 and even startups who'd use the open source ETH blockchain technology to bring many services to the common folk won't ever accept to pay a huge cut to parasitic behavior such as to those hodling or staking.

Also nobody ever mentions how the ETH blockchain is opensource. If a startup of a fortune500 wants to do something about it they have a big chuck of the development cost eliminated just by forking off the ETH blockchain. This is great! But just like Android doesn't owe Linus anything, so those companies will owe nothing to the stakers and the ETH holders.

So to summarize, if you want to build something go to Zug, find Vitalik and give him a big kiss because he saved you a lot of money, at the same time show the middle finger to hodlers and stakers on your way out.

On the other hand...if you want to have a shot at getting rich without doing any work...buy deflationary crypto such as king BTC and watch it appreciate vs the dollar....and it will because people are scared as hell about inflation (regardless of the merit of such scare), and everybody is scared about it...from the common person at the supermarket to Stanley Druckenmiller

> Woodstoves are not widely used in major habitated areas (cities and suburbs) in advanced countries. They're a primary heating source principally in rural areas, where population is sparse. Or, of course, in developing countries where other heating options aren't available.

Unfortunately, that's not the case for large parts of Western Europe, where wood-based heating is considered eco-friendly, due to it being classified as "renewable". For example. in Germany you'll get 40% of a wood-pellet burner subsidized. Many villages and also towns are plagued by heavy air pollution. Emissions from those by now have surpassed those by cars, according to the German federal environmental agency. [1] Scientific findings and political action don't match up at all here - some other European countries slowly start to address this issue, but then again UK is pushing for the Drax power plant which runs exclusively on wood pellets whose wood sources are highly problematic [2].

The only reason Japanese is on that list must be because of the writing system. I can't imagine it would be on the list if it were only about learning grammar and pronunciation.

I've been a .NET developer since 2003, I've been on Linux exclusively for the last 2 years.

This is good news. This will reduce the barrier to entry to all sorts of software leveraging Cloud APIs, not only Pulumi. (I believe crossplane.io might be following a similar approach).

Much sweat and tears has gone into hand writing Terraform provider code. The vast majority of which has come from and continues to be maintained by volunteers.

To have had to replicate this manual effort all over again just to create a competitor would have been silly.

There will surely be a lot of wrinkles to iron out with this 100% automated approach. But indisputably this is a positive development.
> discord has a core audience that cares about latency, low resource use, reliable effordless voice channels and good UX

Are we using the same program? Discord has easily the highest latency when compared to mumble and even teamspeak. It's chromium instance hogs resources like crazy, both ram and cpu time. The reliability is okayish at best, when using it with friends we had issues on multiple occasions where one user couldn't hear another one until he rejoined the voice channel. The ux is absolute garbage, unclear notifications everywhere, a horrible space-to-content ratio and """ funny""" gaming references in the loading screens. On top of that, they purposefully cripple the functionality regarding desktop recording from the browser, trying to bully more people into their app that records your running processes for further analysis.

That's all correct.

Snow Leopard released in 2007 is the latest OS version to support these CPUs. Lion released in 2009 didn't support them.

I don’t think he is trying to demean the actual marginalized groups. He just points at the inconsistencies of the predominant social framework. Arguments for “social justice” (for lack of a better term) often aren’t logical or consistent, and maybe they can never be, because human nature just isn’t that way, which is not even to say that there is anything inherently wrong with that, but it should be scrutinized and one should be aware of it.

There are countless examples of this in the replies to Dawkins’ tweet alone. Someone literally says that transracialism is invalid because, unlike gender, race isn’t a spectrum. That seems completely wrong to me and even if “race” (as a German I’ve always found this word’s fashionability pretty weird btw) were descrete, what about that precludes transracialism?

Others focus on the aspect of choice, with some implying that the specific woman in question “chose” to be transracial, while transgender people are inherently transgender. Does this mean someone claiming to have been born in the wrong skin color would not get vilified? And again, what makes this the deciding factor? I remember this was a huge point in favor of gay rights as well. Why? I suppose because it’s easily defensible and somehow worked in the discourse at the time, but we should be so honest with ourselves as not to conflate auch tactical manouvers with actual foundations of our beliefs.

Some people focus on the privilege aspect, alleging the transracial woman only posed as black to gain some benefits afforded to black people. Yet the same doesn’t seem to apply to MTF transwomen. I’m not going for a “gotcha, checkmate sjws” here and it’s sad it has to be said. Obviously, presumably like Dawkins himself, I’m all for social liberties. I don’t care what other people do with their bodies and I shouldn’t regulate it. I consider myself on the side of “the left” if you will, and that’s the only reason I cringe so hard at it. The right wing trolls under Dawkins’ tweet are deplorable, but they don’t affect me as much and generally don’t intersect with my bubble a lot. They don’t feel very powerful to me, so even ridiculing them seems pretty self congratulatory. Dawkins is challenging social justice like he challanged christianity 20 years ago: because they are dominant and wrongly feel infallible. It’s just more sad having to do it to what you consider your own camp, and being vilified by them.
Heaps of board games have some kind of disadvantages for being in front (eg power grid makes you bid first at auction and buy scarce resources last).
I think it's obvious that J.P. Morgan won't simply donate the money. I had assumed they'd take an ownership stake, but the loan makes more sense. Thanks for that info!
Would Torkel have decided to fork Kibana in the first place if it were AGPL?

Would the same level of community have formed around Grafana?

Would it have received as many contributions and support for new backends?

Would Raj have wanted to acquire Torkel + Grafana for the original Raintank company if it were an AGPL project?

Would they have been able to as successfully build and monetize a Grafana Enterprise product with the requirements of AGPL in place?

It seems naive to argue that none of those would have been impacted by a more restrictive license.
Unsurprisingly[1], Ted Lasso addressed this in a great way:

Player: Coach, do they not have relegation

Ted: Oh, no, no, no.

Player: So what happens to all the shit teams at the end of the season?

Ted: They play out the rest of the schedule, going through the motions in meaningless games contested in lifeless, half-empty stadiums, and everyone's pretty much fine with that.

You say that one can create leverage by borrowing? How does that work?

Is it a contract like "You borrow me 1 ETH and I will pay back 1.1 ETH in a year. Except when X happens, then I will pay back 2 ETH"?

If so, what is X?

As far as I have understood, the case is more that the current ecosystem ranging from complete novices and amateurs to the absolute pros would be segregated at the top level.

Well if you want to ask why inheritance is moral you should probably also ask why taxes are moral because taxing/abolishing inheritance is a logical extension to that. I urge us all to sit and think about it for a few moments. What are the logical steps and sequence of justifications that led us from a bunch of random people in the middle of nowhere to a point where there is now an entity that [forceably] takes X% of people's labor, by virtue of birth in that entity's area and nothing else? If government didn't have this "aura" of legitimacy and "democracy" attached to it, what it does would be seen as no different to what lords did to their peasants centuries ago. By virtue of a peasant being born on a lord's land, they were subject to their rules. At least back then they could probably leave and go to the middle of nowhere and be left alone if you weren't harming anyone. These days there is nowhere to go, and in some cases the "government" might not even let you leave!

Centuries from now they'll probably consider what we're doing now to be absolutely barbaric and adjacent to plain old slavery.

Maybe so, but that still doesn't change that PoS on Ethereum itself has been "coming soon" forever. Until the switch actually happens in full, it's still a power-guzzling PoW chain.
Not sure how using discord really solves the evil admin scenario though? Since the game server admin will still be able to see your IP Address.

I really have a hard time imagining a scenario where I can trust the game server admin, but not the admin hosting my voice server. Especially if it's some team-based game.

> But no, you don't have to learn any of those things, you can just start learning C#.

The problem for a beginner (on any language or platform) is you have to know what you don't need to know. You get overwhelmed with terminology just in the "create new project" dialog. Most of it is not relevant for a beginner, but as a beginner you don't even know what is relevant and what is irrelevant.

I was wondering about that. The DOOM savegame is not a perfect representation of the game state: A major one: Monsters forget who they were targetting after a reload.

I can't play it right now but assume some consequences are: Monsters forget about you after you turn around a corner. Probably no monster infighting. Probably the revenant fireball can't home in on you either.

There was also some rounding error where things on the edge of a ledge drop down after a reload.

Oh well, it's a fun tech demo
F# has the advantage that the features are very well considered and come from a functional programming heritage. The fact it's a functional-first language rather than a bolt-on like C# is a massive advantage.

The functional features in C# are not like for like ports of F# features and have very large gaps in the functionality and usage. It's great that C# is looking at F# to try and stay relevant but it's massive dishonesty to claim those features are just the same as those in F#.

The basis and usage of a language are steeped in its construction and usage patterns, F# has a distinct base of applying pragmatic functional programming and simplicity, whereas C# is an object oriented language takings usage patterns from Java and the typical patterns formed from that area. They will never converge due to the huge amassed different historical usage patterns. You could say C# is heading for being the new Scala 2 when Scala 3 has learned the lessons of blindly applying features and has now taken a more reasoned approach.

> It booted into its own customized version of an operating system that ran what it needed to run to make its game work well and be performant and reliable

Most bootdisk-based games did not have any kind of "customized version of an operating system". They were running on bare metal. For 99% of the games, there was no abstraction/management layer between the application (the game) and the hardware nor any kind of framework that would impose a certain structure on your application. Of course, game code was structured and you could often find subroutines for recurring tasks (clear screen, wait 100ms, read track from floppy,...) but even those were sometimes directly inlined in higher-level code (e.g. game AI) where it gave a performance advantage.

Only complex games had some kind of very thin abstraction/management layer that you could call an OS (often MUCH thinner than embedded micro-OS like RIOT or Contiki). As an example, Carrier Command had a quite general GUI system.

I think the point of the article isn’t that you don’t have namespaces (which are basically trivial) but that, given two names, you can’t often combine them into something that gives you what you want.
