Lichess makes fantastic use of the screen space available, works excellently on all manners of devices, has a native darkmode, and puts the most relevant content front-and-center instead of designing around revenue generation first and functionality second.

Just because damn-near every other website on the internet is comprised entirely of gradients and parallax scrolling doesn't mean any that doesn't is "ugly".

I replied a wall of text in a sibling (cousin?) post, but here's a video of what the feature I meant. I'm not sure what the most accurate name for it would be, I've always seen it called text reflow.

The industrial revolution and its consequences...
Found the link its done.
Foundries were a thing, but even those are giving way to factories, right?

I mean, someone will always make stock, but fewer companies melt metal these days, or at the very least relative to those that carve it up or weld it together (which may or may not involve a little melting, given spin welding and other techniques).
It's not a "Microsoft takeover". Whoever wrote the release notes, shows a focus to business users rather than the community.
Honestly, don't get your economic advice from youtube. Almost any introductory econ textbook will be more educative. Almost zero actual economists think inflation is coming to the US. It's only the (conservative) pundits that produce these unfounded fears. Expanding the money in circulation alone is not enough to trigger inflation (see 2008+).
> millions of other incredibly talented and skilled people are also working on the same problem, and no one has really had much success such as to be notable

I wonder how many strategies are profitable, but not at the scale that would be worthwhile for mid/large sized hedge funds to actually use. What I mean is that let's say I come up with some relatively naive strategy, that consistently delivers sub-1000/day profit. Can I just throw x1000 more monies at it and expect it to deliver 1M/day? I don't think these things scale linearly.
We didn't need to live on either of those planets to figure that out, not that you would live for very long on Venus or Mars.
Interesting, nowadays they're known as one of the big open-source Scala products.
> it seems like enough of us work on embarrassingly parallel programs that it doesn't matter that much.

I'm not sure that's true, it's just that because of the absurd amount of computing resources available, the lack of concurrency doesn't appear to cause business problems, therefore there's been no incentive to solve it.

It is interesting that many of the recent approaches to loads of data rely on inter-computer communication, rather than the intra-computer communication that is concurrency.
> One huge problem is that the space of available prefixes is just too damn small. It's tiny.

Can't extensions be long? We're not stuck with 8.3 anymore; AFAIK, "foo.mycustomprogramnamehere" is a 100% valid name.
I think most probably the situation will sort itself out. If clubs such as Real Madrid finally implode, then football will remain ever as strong. Those players will just go somewhere else and a different club will start to win championships. And really, as money are involved, I do have to expect that no matter what your name is, there has got to be a point where the loan givers and stakeholders finally have had enough.

As an aside, I am not surprised to see this spearheaded by Real Madrid and Juventus. I am however a bit surprised to not see Barcelona take a more active role, seeing how their financial peril seems to possibly be the worst out of the lot.
You are projecting your own desires onto the founder (which is fine, but worth thinking about why they don't want the same thing as you). It seems clear that they are happy with their salary/work. For some people, more money beyond this is not a good thing.
"resource-intensive project like life on Mars"

I don't take perspective this seriously for four reasons:

- its pursuit will lead to unintended tech advances

- it's such a small expenditure relative to other wasteful crap we engage in.

- there is a valid argument for diversifying life, the next gigantic asteroid isn't following your timetable

- it's private money and isn't negatively impacting you and doesn't have its hand in your pocket, as long as externalities are being taxed you're not worse off

I see so much hand wringing about this but I'm sitting here wondering why we are wasting so much money on movies and video games instead of these aspirational projects.
In the Netherlands, we have national police, local police, military police, railroad police, forest police, border police, and so on. They are all fairly independent of each other and have separate jurisdictions.
I would add https://ourworldindata.org to that list
I’d argue ads for chess sets actually would do exactly that.
None of these are as good as the protection of your money in a bank. e.g. Coinbase's insurance covers just their 'hot storage', but that's only 2% of your currency. Plenty of exchanges have lost their supposedly secure cold wallets to hackers.

Google Docs has a limit of 50 collaborators. I think that with 100 collaborators it’s doing pretty well considering that we’re not a billion-dollar company.
Born in the soviet union, moved to America as a refugee when I was a baby with my parents due to threats from the mafia. Later in life moved to Germany, where I still live today. I "grew up" Russian, I went to school American and I now am trying to fit into Germany. My (soon to be) wife is French. I cant speak any language properly any more (Russian, German, French, English) and have nowhere where I can clearly identify as "home". I feel the most at home in Germany, but I am clearly an outsider here and will always be (even if in some cases people don't notice I'm not German). Can totally understand this article, hits close to home.
I've made the same experience: AVIF images sometimes look strange in Firefox (AVIF support behind a feature flag), but they look good in Chrome. I think Firefox might use the OS AVIF decoder, because the images also look strange when I open them directly on my Windows machine.
Surely a salary cap would only benefit the big club owners? Unless you count non-consequence for financial mismanagement of the biggest clubs as a win.
Fortunately that's not entirely true.

In my neck of the woods (Central Europe, so not a place with cheap and abundant hardware like North America or Asia) you can find plenty of decently priced hardware in stock if you're an educated consumer and willing to look around.

Sure, you won't find any discrete GPUs anywhere at MSRP thanks to mining and scalpers, BUT, you can find golden nuggets like the Zen2 based 6-core 4650 Pro Ryzen APUs for 220 Euros which is a cracking CPU with good integrated graphics, or you can buy a gaming laptop with the latest gen 8 core Ryzen 5800H and an RTX 3060, 16Gb RAM and 512Gb SSD for about 1200 Euros or even less which IMHO is insane value for this level of performance considering the current apocaliptic market.
Is “Bioinformatics” Dead?
notify-send works on Arch Linux, FreeBSD, and Alpine Linux, each of which uses a different echo(1).
I disagree, ultimately, we the consumers are at fault. We buy the cheapest products (or the flashiest: see Apple) and these are the consequences. Companies have to save costs to compete because we won't agree to pay more. We won't vote for politicians that make everybody's life better: we will vote for politicians who promises that "the other guys" are going to suffer and that "you or your group" is going to have an easy life.

Somewhere down the line, yeah, Egypt is to blame, but we are the source of the problem - we are to blame. If you want these kind of things to decrease, try to buy local products, try to buy second hand, try to vote for the benefit of everybody (not just you or your group), try to pollute less, try to be conscious about the effects of your actions, and be less egoistic.
> The Russians appear to be the most active but other countries play the same game.

Russia is bombarded incessantly by US propaganda from US troll factories.

Ever since I'm on Internet, I'm reading that Russians are drunkards, barbarians, that our past (even going 1000 years back) is all history of mutual killings, yadda yadda.

It's so disgusting that I guess it even somewhat stopped to work because people are tired of this shit.

But nevertheless: any time on any social network there's a post like: "Look, there's a new undeground station opened in city N", there would be thousands of comments like:

- Built on money stolen from us! We don't need no stinking underground, better give this money to starving retired people

- 100500 millions of rubles were stolen during construction by Putins' cronies

- I'm a construction engineer and I assure you it was built in the wrong place by worthless dumb Russian engineers and this will cause the city N to collapse in 10 years

- City N doesn't need new underground stations, it needs more cars, nobody uses underground, what a useless project!

- 10 opposition activists supporting Navalny were buried during construction of this station. Wake up sheeple! You can become the next victim of the regime!

- Putin destroyed education in Russia! Russian engineers can't design anything. The blueprints for the station were stolen from glorious US engineers. Elon Musk designed the station and Petrov and Boshirov stolen them from him! They also attempted to poison him with Novichok but failed again, the dose was too small!

....

Literally hundreds of such comments under every video on YouTube in Russian, every post in Facebook, Vk, Pikabu, just anywhere it is possible to write comments.

And I guess it's even open information that at least 10-15 well funded organizations in US exist to publish this sort of comments. At least I remember reading how some US president assign funds for several such organizations.

It started to happen when the first Internet link came to Russia and it intensifies with every year. We don't have resources to publish as much bullshit as US organizations and organizations sponsored by the US (e.g. in former USSR republics that has cheap labor, high levels of unemployment and almost 100% of the population are good Russian speakers).
This is a so-called 'wicked' problem. Choosing to go to Mars is not as clear cut as it seems on the surface.

Calling the project 'resource intensive' is one thing, but pointing out exactly where it consumes an unreasonable amount of resources is a totally different ball game.

Context matters, and things can look very different depending on what you compare against each other. Arguably, the actual rocket, astronauts and supplies send to Mars only count for a negligble fraction of what's available on Earth. But things change when you take a step back: there are many layers to the story. You need infrastructure and people here on Earth to actually assemble the mission: specialists, technicians, management, buildings, factories, supply chains,... And if you zoom out even more, you see that you need sturdy civic infrastructure to support all that: education, roads & bridges, domestic and foreign policies, international trade deals, defense and so on. And all the people involved to support all that have to attain a living standard above the poverty line which allows them to focus on all that. So, now you're looking at essential economic sectors which need to support all of that.

Turns out that the 'resource intensiveness' isn't concentrated on a specific point. It's diluted, it's hard to track, and there's a fuzzy line with questions like 'is this resource clear cut spend on an, arguably, wasteful Mars mission or something else?'

> As a species we

I always get skeptical whenever 'we' is used in an argument. Especially in reference to humanity as a species. Humanity isn't a collective consciousness able to think with a single mind. It's billions of individuals that all act on their own accord and any collective behaviors that can be observed are emerging dynamics.

Sure, you could argue that sovereign nations consists of millions of individuals rallying together and aligning their behavior towards common goals. But those are always informed by a complex interplay of trade-offs, incentives, benefits, external conditions, and so on. In the grand scheme of history, even nations aren't forever: they come and they go over time.

The hard reality is that either going to Mars, or curbing climate change aren't self-fulfilling prophecies simply because several vocal groups want them to become reality. They only become reality through complex dynamics over which individuals have far less control then we might assume about ourselves.

The extra markup is usually worth it. AVIF support is already at 63%, with Firefox coming soon. So ~40% of people will get a few more HTML bytes, but 60% of people might profit from a bigger saving on images.
I'd argue even deeper than that. Football (Soccer) is boring. It is even more boring nowadays. (Sill less boring than Baseball but that's a discussion for another time ;) )

90 min of very little action. Most of the discussion happens around the games (Sports journalists in Football will lose their job to GPT-3 mark my words).

Most of the talk was generated by needless controversy/drama (not exclusive to that sport, sure, but see the discussions on how VAR would "end" football)

Sports need to adapt to the new times or lose audience.
So let me get this straight. A private company getting there first from tax-payed money can get ultimately rich and own the discovered places? How is it a good thing at all?!

Fortunately, I highly doubt it to happen in the next century (the asteroid mining)
>I feel like the developer/founder should have a higher salary.

This is probably the root of most of tech's angst: people thinking they're entitled to get rich just because they made /run something.

If you can live comfortably doing something as rewarding as making something like Lichess, what more can you really want? People are talking about FU money/financial independence, which I agree is nice, but you can totally get there on $58k/year by living below your means and investing.

The reason I say it leads to angst is when you expect more than a comfortable salary, you're imposing a higher financial burden on the overall system than necessary, which can sometimes work in the short term, but in the long term introduces drag on development/stability because those extra thousands you're personally socking away aren't going towards, say, getting a contractor to address little issues or going into the rainy day fund.
> we recommend that people refrain from using either of the two projects to process untrusted media files

This seems like a reckless recommendation, as people would then likely use software even more poorly tested to play internet videos.
Who is "we" in that scenario?
Yeah. Clearly the 50+1 rule, as seen in Germany for instance, is a superior approach.

If billionaires are desparate to become even more billionairy, I'm sure they can go invest in sausages, car engines, microprocessors or nylon plants instead.
What about Michael Burry ?
You might have gotten downvoted, but you saved me the ten minutes, man. Thank you for your service.
> Let's face it, people don't want to watch a tiny team from nowhere vs a giant in UCL

The ESL encourages what you say people don't want. As founders can't be relegated they play every year even if they currently have a bad squad. The current UCL ensures the top teams in Europe the previous season compete.
Meta: Curious why this submission doesn't gets pushed to the front page given the number of upvotes (10 in an hour)? Is there some sort of shadow ban due to the political nature of this?

Anyway I think it is an interesting subject. Mostly political / geopolitical in nature as it has to do with the balance between rich and poor, east and west.

We in the west must carefully weight our economic and political short term interest to our long term ones. It would do us terrible long term damage, if most of the world ends up being saved mostly by Russian or Chinese vaccines, due to the west's export controls, patent controls, narrow commercial interest.

Of course that is with the purely cynic hat on. Were we talking any sort of moral, we would have waived the vaccine patents immediately, at least in an emergency period.
I'm not. It's not about having more money to spend, but having enough to be permanently secure.

The founder could have FU money, still draw a ~50k/yr salary and keep their spending at the same level. The only difference is that if circumstances change the founder is still secure instead.
I either swipe if I’m busy or reply to say I’ll keep in touch as they might get me a job one day.
Players (and coaches, managers etc) play for themselves - to get a better contract with a more prestigious team, to become popular enough to command rich personal-sponsorship contracts, and eventually to get closer to the chance of winning actual “rings”. That’s why a lot of US fans are actually supporting a given player rather than “the shirt”, in reverse proportion to the European tradition. It’s still a hard and extremely selective competition.
This is still noticeable in lower power devices.

I have discovered that if I leave a usb cable plugged into a MacBook Air M1 usbc socket in standby, it draws about half a watt extra, even though the cable power draw is zero.

This means the battery goes flat in a few days vs a few weeks in standby - the PHY seems to be using more power in standby than rest of laptop
In just 16 years at 2.6% CPI, money will lose 50% of its purchasing power. Everyone should protect their savings against inflation.
Expanding the money in circulation may not increase the inflation rate, but I would believe that it does trigger inflation in other asset classes such as stocks and real estate.

I'd be happy to be disproven with data, but my anecdotal experience since 2008 is that while my purchasing power hasn't budged much (for things like electronics, travel, food...), my ability to purchase a house from my wages has decreased and will only continue to do so (despite my wage nominally increasing during that time period).
Microsoft SQL Server has a rarely-used feature to do exactly this: [Query Notifications][1].

It sounded great in theory when it came out in 2005, but the drawback was that every open subscription was an open connection to the database server, from every application server. The more web servers you have, and the more queries you want to subscribe to, the more open connections you end up with, which at large scale can cause performance issues even when the connections aren't doing anything.

You can mitigate this by using less subscriptions to monitor more data - but when anything changes in the underlying result set, you end up fetching the entire result set. With a lot of web/app servers, this means an avalanche of queries running at exactly the same time, trying to hit the same data to refresh their cache.

In a perfect world, I'd try to mitigate this by offloading these kinds of queries to read-only replicas. That's a feature limited to the expensive Enterprise Edition ($7K USD per CPU core), and when you scale out to a lot of database servers to leverage this, then it becomes prohibitively expensive.

Another way to mitigate the many-app-servers, many-subscriptions problem is to have a central app server manage the caching for everyone else.

Then really Lichess should have FU money. This both secures his income as long as he continues working on it, then lets him hire a replacement whenever he decides to retire.
Actually they are shutting down coal fired power stations in Australia.

Most of the coal is being burnt in obsolete plants in rapidly industrialising countries.
I don't know much about Android so I can't help you, but it is much more likely that the company that employs dozens of mobile forensics and hardware engineers and has close relationships with Android device makers figured out a workaround.
I wonder if in future someone could write a competitor to these C based media libraries in Java. Today it wouldn't really be ideal, but the combination of Graal native image, such can build standalone native libraries with C ABI interfaces, the new vector API and eventually value types, means Java should become competitive for the sorts of high performance media tasks that C currently dominates. And being a standalone shared library means it would be feasible to make a drop in compatible replacement for ffmpeg.

Of course we're still some way from this being possible but over 1000 fixes and still going means ffmpeg and the like can never really be trusted. Add the blog post says, it's not safe to use with media of unknown source but the whole point of media is to come from other people. How often do you play video from sources you don't trust? It happens all the time. The only reason it's not chaos today is we proxy everything through giant re-encoding farms like YouTube, and browser sandboxing.
The circle is centered around Green Island. Several more circles can be seen further south near Ras Abu Rudeis. It seems that water only seems to be displayed near land and is replaced with simulated blue otherwise.
Probably the most important thing that made it a good process was that, although I was certainly under pressure to perform and show that I knew and could explain the material, the format was as a thoughtful, two-way, deeply-engaging conversation rather than a grilling, one-sided examination.

The examiner (one of my two instructors) had a list of questions/topics that we had to get through, but the specifics and flow were natural and spontaneous rather than artificial and forced.

What made the conversation good was that the examiner discussed points that I raised, raised points that I didn't, asked my opinion on e.g. real world implications of theories or conclusions that could be drawn if this or that were true, et cetera. This made it two-way and engaging. While he did not give me any answers, of course, when it was clear that I could bring up and sufficiently discuss a topic, then he would go into details, which would trigger even more detailed responses from me, and so forth. In this way I think he was able to probe the depths of my understanding while not needing to employ a one-sided question/answer format.

I think that it is difficult to bullshit a topic in depth with someone else who knows what they are talking about, so an oral exam probably does not need to be a hardcore opposition like a thesis defense might be.

The allotted time was maybe 30 or 45 minutes (I don't quite recall), after which the examiner would tell you what grade they would recommend. If it was a grade with distinction, then of course you would say thanks and be done. If it was less than distinction then you could request another 10 or 15 minutes of further examination to try to show your mastery. (I passed with distinction, so I didn't go through that part, but I assume it would have been a continuation? But maybe it would get a little more intense if you were trying to improve your performance at the last minute? I don't know.)
Noted, thanks! Unexpected from a AAA game tbh.
