Software packet processing simply does not scale to the levels that hardware packet processing does, and that's not even mentioning the cost issues involved in provisioning and operating enough CPUs to do it. Maybe in a few years now that we're seeing higher core counts become common in non-server hardware...
I think you'd need to decide whether the game is the equivalent of art, or if it's a product designed to reach as many people as possible. That's the one thing I really disagree with GMTK about; not having a ton of accessibility features doesn't necessarily mean the developer doesn't care about disabled people, it could just be that the game wants to elicit a specific emotion that doesn't translate well if the game is made more accessible. He said in one of his videos that Doom Eternal being difficult makes it innaccessible to people who aren't good at video games or have other disabilities, and implied that it isn't fair that people with accessibility issues don't get to experience the same power fantasy that everyone else does.

For example, FromSoft games (Dark Souls, Sekiro, etc.) don't have difficulty options because the developers want you to struggle and feel triumphant when you eventually succeed. People have complained for a long time about how the game is inaccessible, but FromSoft hasn't budged because that feeling of mastering the combat and beating overwhelming odds is the point of the game. If they had an easy mode where you could just run through without a care in the world, it would just be another crappy open world game.

any likes or rts are appreciated but even with the youtube fanbase I had I don't think I'll be able to hit a big enough splash to get them to look my way.

I'd imagine I'd need thousands upon thousands of rt's to be noticed and I can't even get in touch with my youtube fanbase as... I no longer have a youtube.

It's a great idea except the fact that it's unenforceable and will eventually be abused. Whether or not someone has been paying attention is a transient property you can't prove or disprove after the moment has passed.

The inurl: keyword is extremely useful when combined with the site: keyword, e.g.,

https://www.google.com/search?q=site:reddit.com+inurl:progra...

This would pull up results for "Vim tutorial" from the /r/programming subreddit. Of course, there are better ways to search by subreddit, but using site: and inurl: is the most website-agnostic way to narrow down results. Both these keywords also work on DuckDuckGo.

I also often use the "I'm Feeling Lucky" keyword "\" on DuckDuckGo, e.g., to search for lyrics

SUV is the easiest platform for EVs, sadly.

1) add layer of batteries
2) add wheels to battery base
3) slap on some fancy stuff

Ta-dah! An EV SUV.

No need to plan where the batteries need to go to keep the car looking like a car.

If you want a "budget" EV that looks like a car and not a building on wheels, your only options are pretty much the Hyundai Ioniq and Tesla Model 3. The rest are 100k+ premium cars (Model S, Porsche Taycan etc).

A valid opinion for language design, but when writing real C++ code, I'd stick to the usual way of doing things.

English language keywords aren't always great for readability in my opinion. Ada's and then / or else syntax, for instance. They're the short-circuit syntax, whereas and and or give eager evaluation. [0] You can't determine that just from the syntax though, so it ends up being no less cryptic than using strange symbols the way C++ (typically) does.

It's an absolute favorite of mine (Especially on the ipad), and deserves to be more popular than it is.

It's not without rough edges, but it's killer feature: You can quickly reflow your handwritten text to add more blank space in the middle of a sentence, in the middle of a paragraph, in the middle of your paper. Or arbitrarily reorder anything at any time.

To me, it really is the features of the word processor finally come to handwritten text.

You can get snow tyres fitted on a bicycle (I had some as a youth) but bicycles are still quite horrible in the winter.

I remember biking home from school during the winter when it was snowing heavily. The sidewalks were completely snowed in with heavy snow so the bike just really went where it wanted to go and very slowly. I eventually decided to move over to the road but I was soon tailgated by a bus. Since the bus was honking at me, I had to pull over to the next bus stop to get him out of my ass. I think it was about at that moment that I decided to ditch winter biking once I could own a car.
The F1 spending cap excludes driver and executive pay, so it's not surprising the drivers are not squawking.

Do you think there are (per capita) more or fewer software developers today than there were in 1980? I kind of think the inverse of your point is true, to be frank. On a per capita basis, I think it's it likely that way more people understand the fundamentals of computing.

I just think software has made computing more accessible to people that don't know the fundamentals, which I think is a good thing. I don't think operating computers should be a gatekeeping exercise where you can't use it if you don't understand what machine instructions are, or c.
Cloud or self-hosted will depend on your in-house expertise. For cloud others have already mentioned Backblaze and Wasabi, but you can also check Scaleway, they do 0.02 EUR/GB/mo for hot storage and 0.002/GB/mo for cold storage.

Since we're talking about images and videos, do you already have different quality of each media available? Maybe thumbnail, high quality, and full quality. It could allow you to use cold storage for the full quality media, serving the high quality version while waiting for retrieval.

If the use case is more of a backup/restore service and a restore typically takes longer than a cold storage retrieval (being Glacier or self hosted tape robot), then keep just enough in S3 to restore while you wait for the retrieval of the rest.

If you go the self-hosted route, I like software that is flexible around hardware failures. Something that will rebalance automatically and reduce the total capacity of the cluster, rather than require you to swap the drive ASAP. That way you can keep batch all the hardware swapping/RMA once per week/month/quarter.

I agree with the criticisms, my point is that there are many beginners in a state where the most rational or practical choice is to sacrifice quality by following third party resources.

When you initially start at Google, say, you get an RSU grant that vests over 4 years. So for 4 years you are getting your salary and on some schedule also getting stock. The stock can be a quite large portion of your total compensation (as in, comparable to the base salary).

After 4 years, unless you got refresher grants, your compensation is just your salary, so you effectively make less money than during the first 4 years. At that point the incentive is to move to some other company and start the 4-year clock again...

Silver Linings in Lockdown
I'm guessing this is likely a large part of why the efficacy is so high.

From what I gather, parasitic infections are hard to vaccinate against at least in part because at least some of them routinely change their protein markers, so it's hard to identify them. It sounds to me like this counters that.
It’s partly about convincing new buyers to be comfortable with them. Buyers are not fully rational and will often overestimate their need for long range and will overvalue the anxiety of needing to charge. Short range cars are seen as to much risk even if the price is lower.

Once enough people have some experience with EVs and the market grows enough, there will be more interest and a demand for cars with a limited range at a cheaper price point.

very clever people posting there

Cleverness is orthogonal to depravity, right?

Nobody denies the extreme cesspool-like aspects of some corners of 4chan.

The one thing you can uncontroversially say is that 4chan is diverse. It's almost like reddit, where each subreddit has its own distinct culture, mods, etc.

I would say that overall, 4ch does attract... a pretty clever crowd. Almost everything there is layer upon layer upon layer of self-reference and iteration. Meta on top of meta on top of meta. Not saying you have to be a genius to "get it" but I don't see a dummy enjoying it.

I'm also saying this as somebody who doesn't particularly like the place. I grew out of that shock humor stuff about two decades ago.
I thought the same thing, I just recently got my first new mac (An M1 Mini) in about a decade, and I had to go dig up an old USB keyboard and mouse. I was left thinking "How would this possibly work if I didn't have a bin of dusty old computer just in the basement?" It's been an interesting couple of months working with this thing. I moved from an Ubuntu box I built myself, to an M1 Mini and I can't say it's much of an upgrade. I've had 2 kernel panic complete crashes on this thing so far, and never had one in years of running on something I built from random parts. It hasn't been TERRIBLE, but I honestly expected more.
It would be preferable to the way it works, though.

Doesn't paint a good future for large scale aeronautics on Mars - even if you somehow can sustain those speeds in an atmosphere where you cant burn stuff for propulsion, landing the thing, somehow, at the destination would be very hard - possibly harder than landing the F-104 Starfighter!;-)

That speed likely rules out any normal landing gear or runways, possibly with the exception of a maglev catcher cradle.

Most likely the "aircraft" would need some sort of a robust long duration vertical landing capability, likely rocket based.

No wonder you don't see any aircraft on Mars in The Expanse series - only hyperloop like pods on flimsy rails making use of both the low pressure and low gravity or full on spaceships or orbital shuttles.

For $10,000 you can get a box which can route 12.8 Tbps (25.6 Tbps bidirectionally) at 256 byte packet size. Even putting all of that money at literal CPU alone (i.e. not the rest of a server or interfaces) you can't route at that performance, let alone match the feature set of the hardware before talking about extra things one could add in software that would slow it even more.

That would allow all those students to exercise their GDPR rights against Proctorio and their university. Probably just takes a couple hundred to completely overwhelm Proctorio and cost them so much money that it makes more sense to drop the small Dutch market. Or to get them in a lot of trouble if they refuse to give all students access to all data they have.

Will take the privacy regulators a few years, justice moves slow. But if I was a Proctorio shareholder I would be very very unhappy if my company got stuck in years of unresolved legal issues with unknown (and high) potential fines.

Well, for just a singular example from /pol/ (since it isn't a board I frequent much at all given the super low signal-to-noise ratio, I prefer more hobby-specific boards, such as /o/ for car-motorcycle discussions and /mu/ for music-related stuff), people there were looking into and brought upon pedophilic allegations against Peter Bright years before he got actually charged with those (which actually happened just last year[0]). Mind you, not claiming that 4chan had anything to do with the guy getting eventually caught. But the fact that they had those allegations with basic reasoning and evidence before there was even a whiff of it in public is definitely something.

Or when they had "journalists" from big publications trying to go there and interview people on the boards, they got fed so much misleading and obviously bs info on purpose before being chased away, it was definitely entertaining to observe. Especially given how obvious it was that the "journalists" in question came in there with a very specific narrative in mind already, and it all got crumbled pretty much in real time.

Not even mentioning stuff like a solution to a novel math problem (which other commenters have already mentioned), which ended up being cited and is relevant to actual ongoing research in a specific math area.[1]

Do those things count as "gems"? That's purely subjective. But that's the kind of stuff I personally appreciate seeing there.

George Bernard Shaw and his timeless insights:

The New Statesman published Shaw’s essay as a “war supplement.”

“The time has come,” he wrote, “to pluck up courage and begin to talk and write soberly about the war.” Shaw claimed he could muster clear thoughts about England’s role because he was Irish. He was unmoved by imperialist sentiments and patriotic lies. The government had cited Germany’s invasion of Belgium as its cause for war, but he thought this was false and hypocritical. If not Belgium, some other excuse would have been found, as a close examination of the actions and secret agreements of the Foreign Secretary made clear. Britain was the world’s most aggressive imperial power, occupying numerous countries around the globe with no less callousness and no more legitimacy than Germany in Belgium. Britain had no right to object to the imperialism of others while blithely practicing an imperialism of its own. The English press critiqued German Junkerism, but England was led by its own imperious oligarchs and aristocrats, a class analogous to the Junkers and just as bad, just as belligerent, just as unaccountable. Only through the democratization of foreign policy, the socialization of landed wealth, and a postbellum rejection of imperial militarism on all sides — including that of France and England — could the war be made to serve just ends. Demonizing the German enemy was a base and baseless act of propaganda. If Germany was defeated, it should not be humiliated or loaded down with an impossible war debt, otherwise the cycle of inter-imperial wars would continue.

I first got into George Bernard Shaw with the false attribution of fish/ghoti:

Ghoti is often cited to support English spelling reform, and is often attributed to George Bernard Shaw,[5] a supporter of this cause. However, the word does not appear in Shaw's writings,[2] and a biography of Shaw attributes it instead to an anonymous spelling reformer.[6] Similar constructed words exist that demonstrate English idiosyncrasies,[1] but ghoti is the most widely recognized.[citation needed]
