So game and metagame are important here.

Overall, I agree with your point. This is the reason I don't play those games, or in those ultra-competitive brackets.

I don't think we're necessarily contradicting eachother. I choose to play fighting games for the fight, rather than the victory, and thus tailor my choices within that genre to suit me.

To offer a couple of 'parallel' examples to your own:

Player A is at a significantly higher level than player B, and 'stifles' player B through consistent reads and conditioning. Nothing player B tries works, everything player B does seems to play exactly into player As hands.

This is almost a restatement of your example, except it was a highly rewarding experience for me. In the language of cognitive psychology, it brought about a powerful flow state.

The two key differences: 1.) that the skill imbalance was not too great - just great enough - and 2.) that the nature of the game's design and the players' choices in tactics/playstyles ommitted the more obnoxious elements of combat.

My second parallel example is simply my first, reversed: I am player A, and my opponent is player B.

Everything plays out the same. Interesting, that.

Because implicit in player A's skill is that they are in control of the fight - they can, usually, make things fairly unpleasant and dirty for the opponent. It doesn't take much to push someone past the mental edge, to knock them off balance and keep them there; to destroy their flow state.

Why is player A so restrained? He didn't want to win, he wanted to fight.

Players motivations in games are often what makes the difference between a positive and a negative experience. So we nicely return to the beginning: if you're focused on winning, you're not going to have a good time and neither are the people playing with you.
I don't think home ownership is the problem (apart from the NYMBYsm that sometimes happens) - owning ones home can give a sense of freedom and happyness to many.

But the quest of that goal can be a problem - mortgages (to expensive, to big), the choice of owning a property rather than living in a better property (size, quality, location) can be a blight on peoples lives.
I use Firefox with uMatrix to basically block any JavaScript that I don't explicitly enable. Twenty years ago, browsing the internet without JavaScript was fairly easy. But these days, it seems like upwards of 60% of websites simply don't work at all without JavaScript.

I wonder if there are any projects that help people find sites that don't use JavaScript. Search engines that only index JavaScript-free sites, old school "blog rings" that only link JavaScript free sites together.
It's not really a software company, more services and consulting. They pay very well (in Europe anyway) to get the best and most driven graduates to generate income and will work them hard. They aren't that interested in delivering quality software but more what contracts they can get in place for support and repeat business. I worked for a similar company on graduation in the UK and received excellent training, OK money, and met lots of likeminded people so I'd say it was a good start to my career.

If I was purely interested in development/software I probably wouldn't have wanted to work there.
It would be a separate effort from ARM itself, merely complimentary. It wouldn't have to be too expensive either, if it avoided private profit-seeking suppliers and instead attempted to vertically integrate by nationalising related industries.

You're correct that neither main party would do this, partly because of the inadequacies of the liberal election cycle. Only direct worker democracy could reliably centrally plan for use rather than profit.
Scouts, but not in the US, was where I learnt it as "reef knot", it's pretty much the go-to knot there, to the point where I recall it making up part of a lot of designs on badges and such.
Let’s be honest, there is a substantial bipartisan agreement on this... possibly because most MPs of all colours are homeowners.
There is a contingent on HN that hates anybody doing well with crypto.
What even is a "true price", ontologically speaking?
Finland has right-of-occupation scheme. Where one pays that circa 15% and gains permanent right to occupy usually a flat. The rent is slightly lower compared to free market and can not exceed that. And there is also calculated inflation correction on this. So if they move out they get the payment back with interest. Then next occupant has to pay that new price.
> It’s totally bizarre that the article seems to regard “one drink per day” as some kind of minimum. Lots of us drink far less than that!

Yeah, that was my thought as well. I would assume correct baseline to be "two drinks at Friday evening every week or two". In fact, correct article title would to be "No stage of _alcoholism_ is safe, global study finds".

I use the older one which uses the kernel from the stock firmware. To my understanding done by the guys who worked also on the original firmware. I have seen just a single issue, it's minor: fast forward/rewind does not work properly. It does forward/rewind, but slower than expected.

The new native port lists quite some downsides/TODO's, so I did not yet switch over.
You are right. Such demands are written in a contract. You either sign or not.

I might be wrong but I don't think this kind of thing would work (legally speaking) in the EU.
So because coding art is hard, it's more difficult not to make it minimal, I guess.

Is that built with something like 3djs?
Yes. But if a development that makes the local quality of life worse, then - surprise! - that will also deflate asset prices.

How much value does the Economist put on me starting my tech job on three hour's sleep, because of the following, all of which I've had happen nearby (as in a literal stone's throw) between 1 am and 5 am in the last year:

Redirection of arterial road traffic !

Fire alarms that nobody else shows an inclination to reset !

Dog fighting ring !

violent robbery !

I'd rank this as somewhere in the middle of flats I've rented.

Words struggle to express how much I hate neoliberal suburbanites wanking on about the values of high-density housing. Yes, there is potential. But by f*k, try living it for a bit.
Anyone else tie their shoes once, just enough to fit but just enough to slide on and off? I tuck the exposed parts back under the laced part to keep them safe and out of the way.

I cannot imagine having to tie shoes several times a week let alone several times a day. Seems like a waste of time.
My dream browser would have two engines -- a simple, very fast engine for "document-like" web pages and a more complex engine that can be loaded on demand using a UI similar to NoScript.
In my parents' case, it was România before '89. Thankfully they were lucky to be able to buy their flat in the early 90s, but those of us that rent today aren't so lucky. Rents consist of the majority of one's income, like in all liberal countries.

The remaining socialist countries are China, Vietnam, Cuba, the DPRK and Laos. Venezuela and Bolivia are struggling towards it as well. All of them have varying but significant levels of public housing, in some cases limited by conditions imposed on these countries in exchange for being allowed to trade with the rest of the world.

I'd still try to store each event with all associated measurements as one item, using either a dedicated time series db like InfluxDB or Timescale or even using something like Elasticsearch. If one event is one HTTP request, and your service receives a million visits every day you still just have to store one million events per day which is 12 events per second.
It's even more fun with CUDA. You have PTX assembly and CUDA binary assembly which are completely different.

But it still pays to peek into disassembly every now and then. For instance, one time I got to shorten a kernel runtime by switching an index type from size_t to uint32_t. Apparently, 64-bit integer division wasn't supported directly by the target architecture and instead of some kind of IDIV, there was a 100-lines function embedded and called on every division.

Just downcasting an index before pushing it to the kernel made the whole thing considerably faster. But I wouldn't know I should have done this if not for the disassembly.
I am increasingly finding it difficult to read books. It feels like it takes ages to read - like reading 20 pages feels like an hour gone by, but it was only 10 minutes. That adds anxiety, as if I am missing out on other things while I read.
To keep up, I got the app Blinkist. I listened to dozens of excerpts from topics that interest me, but now I can't do that as I found that most books follow the same patterns and it is all the same. What to do?
This made me want to grind lap times in Wipeout 2097. The soundtrack and atmosphere in that game was really similar to this, and like nothing I'd heard or seen before at the time. It probably shaped my taste in so many ways. Fond memories!

EDIT: For those sharing the nostalgia, it turns out that the composer of the soundtrack, Cold Storage, remastered it and put it up on streaming services. It's a two part EP called SlipStream.

I have a 4-year-old so trying to figure out how to make this work for children's book is high on my list (I am hoping to ship a full Children's and YA section toward the Fall 2021). I did try a round of emailing teachers to see if they would be interested in recommending books but that didn't work. I am running tests now with children's authors to see how well that works. And, I am hoping toward the end of the year to use the Ingram API to show age recommendations on books and sort it so you can find books for specific ages (i want this too)...

Personally, I spend a lot of time on Amazon reviews to try to sort through and find good kids books. I still get a fair number of duds there that we give away.

My son is 4 and his favorites right now is the dory fantasmagory series. Some others he loves are big blue truck, snail and the whale (great book and all their books are amazing), gruffalo, mixed up chameleon, the tiger who came to tea, good day good night, Lion Inside (all their books are good), here we are (ditto for his books), the darkest dark (by astronaut), and Giraffes can't dance.
I really hope the switch to electric transportation and to biking (whenever/wherever possible) will make big cities better to live. And that remote work in suburbs will incentive communities to re-create many smaller and more human-like down-towns.
Oh, that's interesting. I had not heard of such cases, nor have I seen them. Do you remember which part of the park this was? I'll keep an eye out next time I am there.
I dont know what exactly was the issue, but that page was uncomfortable to read and look at.
What do you mean by 'design language'? It was a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor, at least as far as I know.

What 'design language' are you speaking off? It was supposed to be HTML in the end (well whatever that meant in those editors :D)
When I think about sci-fi and people pulling together for an earth-scale thing I immediately think about The Wandering Earth by Liu Cixin. Culturally interesting that its a chinese movie whereas in my mind a lot of western sci-fi is more individualistic.
Do normal document like web pages render slowly in modern browsers for you?
Digg's userbase collapsed so precipitously because there were alternatives already in competition (reddit itself, largely).

There isn't really somewhere "quite like reddit" enough for reddit users to march off to en-mass in the same way, though I, people I know, and I suspect a large number of others, visit reddit a lot less than we once did and hang around less once we are there. So rather than an exodus there is more an epidemic of "meh".

I certainly don't contribute to "communities" there these days - and I think many others with a similar attitude is why some significant subs have fallen to rabid fighting where at least some insightful discussion once prevailed: the more reasonable voices have shuffled away so the more rabid ones increasingly stand out (and boy do they love it), pushing more "more reasonable" voices into shuffling away leaving the polarised trolls on all sides to fight amongst themselves, and so the spiral descends.

Though I'm not an ad-clicker, gold buyer, or anything else such, so I very much doubt the powers that be over at reddit care that I am not engaged.
You have described very well the limits of social democracy, indeed. Ceding any ground to markets and capital ends up eroding any gains won by the working class.

Similar happened after capitalism was restored in Eastern Europe. Even though housing was built and maintained just fine for many decades, very little was built or maintained after 89 since there was no profit in it.
Home owner here. I feel lucky to have been able to (barely) qualify for a loan when I did and buy a home. We now live overseas and rent it. It’s been a huge help to us knowing that it’s there growing in value. I’m also for governments using my property taxes and other taxes to pay for Or subsidize more housing, even affordable housing, even if it might lower the price for my home if it helps the community out.

Being able to have something that’s yours (yes, yes, I know it’s not truly yours until you pay off the bank note...) is a huge boost to my confidence. When we lived there we made improvements, were involved in the community, supported local business and such. I liked knowing the only thing that could raise my monthly mortgage payment was a rise in the assessed property value or a jump in my insurance premium. That peace-of-mind is a huge asset when budgeting. It’s also something one can borrow against to consolidate loans or start a business.
Ya, I've hit moments like that. For me, I look for a purely fun book that is just about escaping and enjoying a story. No pressure to learn or to think just escape. That is usually fantasy or a good space science fiction book.
Can’t think of a way to reduce this to guidelines. I’ve seen a bunch of different errors. Mostly it’s a bad understanding of the math, or a bad understanding of what you’d want to do with the collected data.

Just one example that comes to mind: suppose you want average (mean) latency. So you record, for every minute, the average latency for requests during that minute. Now you want to calculate the average latency for an entire day… but it’s impossible. You can calculate the daily average of the per-minute averages, but you’re averaging over minutes, rather than averaging over requests.

This is just a simple example, but you can see how a seemingly innocuous decision sabotaged your ability to run the query you want.

Maybe my advice is “learn calculus”.

The intent of my original question, hamfisted as it was, was if the neighbour is informed of the negative effects their IoT swarm causes other users, do they then incur a legal duty to change their set-up / behaviour such that they would no longer do so?
I think we assume too much about where infrastructure is headed. Serverless, containers... they're fueling this notion of increased productivity but I don't think they themselves are keeping up with where Software is headed. E.g. "AI: --- in a lot of cases you're going to be breaking through every level of abstraction with any *aaS above the physical cores and attached devices. Traditional CRUD simplified? -- sure, but I feel like these "infrastructure" dev opportunities will be eaten by digital platforms and cloud solutions in the coming years.
> ARM can't flourish under Nvidia,

Why?

> which customer would prefer to buy IP from a potential competitor rather than from a neutral provider.

The same customers that buy NVIDIA GPUs, NVIDIA interconnects, support NVIDIA's software, etc.

You seem to be suggesting that this "somehow" matters, but are not explaining "why" do you think this matters.

AFAICT if AMD wants to ship a data-center node, it needs Mellanox interconnect, and has to buy that from NVIDIA, pretty much in the same way that NVIDIA ships AMD CPUs with their DGX boxes.

There are dozens of thousands of pattents that all these companies need to buy from each other on a regular basis to function.

I don't see how this particular change makes the status quo worse.
The Walkman ZX300 (appearance of which the M3K copies pretty well :) is by far my favorite player.

Although in a perfect world I'd just have an iPod with a headphone amp as good as the current Walkmans/Fiios.

That said, why is an audio player review from 2018 on the front page? o_O
Glad it's on the roadmap!

Perfect. We only have a few of those, and the Gruffalo is a real hit, so I'll definitely check out the others. Thanks a bunch!
I actually was hoping that this would be a 3D game-like environment, where you walk around a library and are able to click on a book and it appears in your hands and you can flip through a few pages, rotate it, examine the cover...

> Why wouldn't that someone want to make a profit?

Because they are not a for-profit company or institution? Public housing is often owned or managed by such entities.
Also there can be other incentives besides direct profit; a city can build flats to encourage people to move and live there. The city will profit from the economic activity this will bring. In that case the city has a motive to have a larger, not a smaller, supply of flats.

> That'd just make each individual eternally indebted to the state, at the whims of bureaucrats and vulnerable to political punishments while the costs wouldn't come down by much, because the state generally sucks at doing these things.

The state may generally suck at doing these things, but nevertheless this is the way it works in some places and works good in some of them. In a different thread I mention Vienna where around 220'000 flats are owned by the city and another 220'000 are indirectly influenced by them which together housing about 25% of the population. The city started this program at the beginning of the 20th century when 300'000 people didn't have a place to live - it's obviously much better now. So maybe it's not a completely broken way of doing things?
Sounds to me like yet another attempt at shifting the overton window towards language being considered violence, which is authoritarian nonsense and deserves to be called out as such.
This seems to target the wrong part of the problem.

Rather than

"homes appreciate in value --> homeowners have an incentive to constrain supply of new housing to further appreciate the value --> we should somehow tackle the concept of homes being an investment"

we should instead focus on the aspects of our state/local governments that allow homeowners to have an influence on constraining new supply of housing to begin with.

Namely, zoning rules for any particular parcel of land should be handled by the state, not the local government. If a development fits the zoning rules, it should automatically be approved, with no endless town hall meetings that add tons of delays and cost overruns.

The way zoning and approval of housing construction currently works in much of the US is a prime example of what happens when you let too many opinions get in the way of progress.

It's no coincidence that states like Texas, with their less stringent zoning laws and relatively small NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) presence, do the best at allowing new housing supply to better keep up with demand. As a result, despite Texas' population exploding over the past 20 years, its housing remains relatively affordable compared to states like CA.
I was actually so frustrated by Firebase in general with their NoSQL database, with their old REST API and that everything is close source so your locked in to their service.

That's why I built Nhost (https://nhost.io) - an open source Firebase alternative with GraphQL built on Postgres.
The standard beer here in Germany is 0.5l at ~5% alcohol content, which comes down to 2 1/2 standard drinks. And it isn't unusual to drink 2-3 of those.

The problem arises when this goes from an occasion (meeting with friends) to become a regular thing.

The body and mind also becomes much more resilient to alcohol as you drink regularly. During my early 20s when we went out to bars a lot, it was normal to drink 4 large beers and feel tipsy, not drunk.

Hii all, the original poster of the devrant thread here (made an account sjust for you guys).
I've read some of your comments and wanted to address some things.

I've seen people tell me to get a 5GHz capable AP and a dongle.
But this shouldn't be needed.
I already own a hAP AC3 (MikroTik) but to the way our house is built (it's pretty much all solid brick between each room), 5GHz doesn't go that far, so I'd need to buy an AP for pretty much every room.
When sitting behind my desk (about 2M from my AP), everything is fine and dandy but when I leave the room, 5GHz basically dies.

Next, I saw people recommend "working it out with my neighbours" by having them turn down the power or use cables to hook up all the APs (I even offered to pay for all the cabling myself), but they are not willing to do so.
And just saying "Would you stop using all this smarthome junk so we can have a decently working wifi" also isn't really gonna cut it for them.

And finally, I saw a comment or two to just jam the living shit out of it, but well... I'd rather not get my own ass into legal trouble for this.
