Really liked the idea and spent 15-20 mins playing it. Would be good to save your progress. To be more realistic I shouldn't be able to buy a house after about 5 months of salary. Make the house prices 10 times more expensive if you want it to more like real life!

Also It's not clear to me if I take the job I can't go to university? I took the job in the absence of another choice, like real life if I got a great alternative offer I would leave the job and do that instead.

Nice work :-)
Independently of this, bitcoin will never run on just dump load energy.
You can start offering your Saas for free (so no need to stablish a company since you are not actually selling anything online, nor making money). Let if run free for 3 months, see if people actually use it and if so, then proceed to make things official.

It makes absolute no sense to setup a company just to check if your idea works.

This reminds me a bit of "The game of life" back in the 90s

Optimizing life for filling the savings account as fast as possible at the expense of everything else has consequences and your game should reflect this.

You should have stats including your characters age, health, happiness and social skills and have some kind of social media app with your friends constantly trying to invite you out for concerts, nights out, dating? and so on so that you have constant distractions to spend your money on to make it more challenging. Not building up the happiness and social skills stats should have consequences. You should be able to buy a gym membership to keep your health stat from deteriorating.

The consequences of not building up those stats early in your life is poor health, shit social skills and no friends except for the people you work with. But yay, you're a millionaire I guess?

The real game of life is that it's all a balancing act between having your financial house in order while also having a fulfilling social life, health, and happiness

"The answer is, it was reviewed and accepted by a human. That's it. Full stop. There's your human subject right there in the middle of your research work. "

Thats not the correct or relevant criteria. If you were correct, testing airport security and testing AntiMoney Laundering checks at a bank would amount to human experiments. In fact its hard to think of any study of the real world that would not become a "human experiment".

"When you claim that this study was about a process, you're literally taking the researchers side."

Thats some seriously screwed up logic right here.

The point of this article seems to hinge on gender roles, specifically a submissive and polite attitude (assumed if I'm not mistaken because it sounds feminine). Regardless of whether or not that makes sense, an announcer such as the ones described always tells us things unilaterally and without recourse: The train is late, we're all requested to go left, your plane is delayed, your plane must now be boarded, etc.

It's not submissive at all: It's there to inform you of reality and you're expected to comply. There's an implicit threat to it, where if you do not listen or don't comply life will be difficult for you.
> First, TLS outages pop a warning box up on your screen, and DNSSEC outages make your site entirely disappear from the Internet. So that's a difference.

Meh. If you handle your site correctly, you have at least HSTS, in which case, TLS errors are also game-over. If you don't have HSTS, well I have bad news for you.

The other point stands though (risks are higher and rewards lower for DNSSEC).
It's a bit different. Yes it's true that, for instance, if a pallet of USD with sequential serial numbers went missing, the FBI would probably knock on your door if you tried to put some of them in the bank. But as far as I know, if those dollars made it into circulation and you obtained them by legal means, it doesn't become illegal for you to spend them.

Nitpick: the device mapper zoned-device support isn't built on top of the device mapper encrypted-device support; both dm-crypt and dm-zoned are independent device mapper targets.

This is native support for btrfs-on-SMR, without the dm-zoned layer in between. DM-zoned is meant for filesystems who are zone-unaware, and it works by batching writes and redirecting blocks into appropriate areas. Having the filesystem allocator be aware of the underlying device's zones allows for more efficient/performant use of the zones.

I ran a 486DX266 at the time and it only came with 1MB of SIMM memory.

Question, does Office online integrate into Azure user management like Gsuite does with GCP?
Yes, I am planning to support it for long time. In fact, I deal with programming SQL clients over 10 years (in past, I have created DatAdmin and DbMouse clients), I would like to use this know-how to create widely used open-source SQL client. Of course, it depends also on feedback from users and community.

Now I have reserved 1 man-day per week for my non-profit or very-low-profit projects, dbgate takes 90% of this time. (+of course some evenings and weekends). I am planning to use github sponsors or something like this in future, maybe it would allow me to extend this reserved time.

The question is then why hi-pitched male voice could not have been used?
The famous "mind the gap" is from a man. British Siri was always a male voice. The automatic-semi-recored voice in German trains is male.

This 10 year old CNN article is way more informing:

https://edition.cnn.com/2011/10/21/tech/innovation/female-co...

For example female voices for early radar systems were chosen, because their voices stand out from the male fighter pilots. Sexist? Maybe, but also a smart and pragmatic decision. San Francisco apparently uses high-pitched voices as they are easier to hear over clattering train cars.

> "It's much easier to find a female voice that everyone likes than a male voice that everyone likes," said Stanford University Professor Clifford Nass,

> When it comes to consumer applications of computerized voices, the sex of the voice is usually determined by what service or product is employing it. For example, transit systems such as the San Francisco Area's BART often use higher-pitched voices because they are easier to hear over the clatter of the train cars.

> Bajarin, the Silicon Valley analyst, believes that more computerized voices would be masculine if not for the associations with HAL, whose malicious intent in the 1968 Stanley Kubrick film was made even creepier by his soothing tone.
"A lot of tech companies stayed away from the male voice because of HAL," he said. "I've heard that theory tossed around multiple times." (One prominent exception: The chipper "You've got mail!" voice from AOL's dial-up days.)

> Siri speaks like a man in the UK, where iPhone 4S owners have swarmed online forums to request a female voice instead. "Eww!! Hope UK gets female voice soon," wrote one commenter.

I think this has some truth to it. People that can't trust the criminal justice system handle problems outside of the system and I don't think it's a negligible % of total murders. Community justice takes over and skews overall crime data for certain communities.

You really need to have a compelling reason to use Elixir imo. There are widely used alternatives both for standard web development (php/.net/java/ruby/node) or for special concurrency needs (node/golang). All these alternatives have huge communities and many people you can recruit. It will be way easier to recruit a php / golang guy than an Elixir dev, which means you may have to onboard a person into Elixir.
Elixir is still enjoying being somewhat novel, in 5 years it won't even have that - it will just be another stack that is quite small in adoption.
There was a glitch which has been fixed. Hopefully it will work now.

Yeah it totally has the feel of a temporary solution.

From what I’ve read though, there doesn’t appear to be much of a plan apart from the current solution.

My initial reaction is that I want to keep all my files with .js extension.

One thing that could potentially be problematic is for files that need to run in the browser and on the server.

Really curious to see where the community’s tea leaves settle. My guess is that people will eventually just start using the new extension.
You could probably make it into an SVG file to reduce the size even more.
I found it a bit odd that the article seemingly does not ask designers of voice systems why the voice is typically female-sounding. I have to imagine they’ve tested it both ways, so what’s their explanation for why they consistently make the choice they do?
I think no other justification is needed to end the death penalty than “it’s inhuman and barbaric”.

Even discussing other factors arguments and considerations dilutes the core point that’s it’s straight up wrong unethical and inhuman to murder others in the name of the law.

Paul Graham has a valid point, but if you say “it’s wrong cause it’s inaccurate”, implies it’s right if it’s accurate. And it’s not... the death penalty is wrong no matter be it accurate or inaccurate.
Probably an unpopular opinion but...

Making and distributing music to masses of people has never been cheaper / easier. Making music is easier due to availablility of software and equipment. Distribution is easy because of platforms such as Spotify, Soundcloud... and so on. Musicians struggling to make money from people listening to their music digitally might be related to the enormous available supply. If I never get to listen to X bands / artists music, then I'll get to listen to someone elses and will likely never even realise X band or artist existed.

Most musicians I listen to have been introduced to me via the mediums I use to digest music. When I was younger, TV and radio, now mainly Spotify and different playlists I subscribe to.
You too have missed some of the details, but then so have many others.

The paper you’re referring to was from last year. Two of the three patches that they emailed in under fake author names were rejected; they wrote a paper about the experience. All that happened as a result was that everybody told them that it was a terrible idea, and they tweaked the wording of the paper a bit.

Now _this_ year, a different PHD student with the same advisor posted a really dubious patch which would introduce one or more use–after–free bugs. This patch was also rejected by the maintainers. Greg noticed that it looks like another attempt to do the same kind of experiment again. Nobody but them know if that’s true or not, but the student reacted by calling it “slander”, which was not very advisable.

The methodology in the original paper had one redeeming feature; after any patch was accepted, they would immediately email back withdrawing the patch. That doesn’t appear to have happened in this case, but then this patch was rejected.

As a result of this, all future contributions from people affiliated with UMN are being rejected, and all past contributions (about 250) are being reviewed. Most of those are simply being backed out wholesale, unless someone speaks up for individual changes. A handful of those changes have already been vouched for.

That is pretty drastic, because there will certainly be acceptable patches that will need to be re–reviewed and possibly recommitted. On the other hand, if you discover a malicious actor, wouldn’t you want to investigate everything they’ve been involved with? On the gripping hand, there are such things as autoimmune diseases.

I guess we’ll have to see how it plays out.
Because natural male voice is generally lower than female voice. Also there is research on gender neutral voice (like this https://www.genderlessvoice.com/) but as you can hear, the voice is everything but natural and easy to understand

I would need to refresh myself on the specifics, but either Italy or the EU itself blocked shipments of AstraZeneca from Italy to Australia. I recall France saying they would do the same as this came to a head.

To say that the EU as a whole wouldn’t block exporting is a bit premature when we already have precedent.

Well I'd be inclined to agree with the parent as even per the link to ProtonDB included by the GP about 40% (as of this moment) out of top 10 most popular games are not working under Linux (status: borked). I love linux and use it 90% of the time every day but I also have an old and derelict windows partition just so I can launch a game or two from time to time. Maybe the day will come when all games work flawlessly on Linux and I certainly hope it will. But evidence suggests that we have still some way to go...

This is the obvious reason, but of course there are many more: executions are quite expensive, they don't seem to actually deter crime, they're fundamentally pessimistic ("this person will never be useful to society"). Plus, they're kind of unnecessarily cruel: if we wanted to execute people painlessly we could just pump a room full of nitrogen and let the person drift off into unconsciousness and death relatively quickly and silently. But for whatever reason we don't do this, instead opting for spectacles of shooting the person or zapping them or injecting slow paralytics into their veins. My personal guess is that people like to watch for some sort of catharsis which a silent death doesn't give them, but of course I'm not necessarily in a position to judge this well.
Plus, figuring out optimal sizing for Docker images is in general complicated and often counterintuitive. A company I worked with mandated that every image must be written from scratch to reduce size on disk and save on transfer bandwidth/time. The end result though was that there were no sharable layers, and so every server had to redownload every image wherever there was the tiniest update. Moving to a set of common 1GB+ base images with all dependencies included made the entire system smaller and faster.
> I type this from a region where the grid is largely powered largely by a mix of nuclear, wind and hydro. And the power isn't even that expensive here. About 7 US cents per kilowatt. So how can I take this seriously?

This is not just the people getting used to wearing mask. This is the government having an existing plan to actually combat a pandemic.

The response of most Western governments have been shambolic: here in the UK the government didn't start doing widespread randomised COVID tests until August, and even when they did the results covered such a big area that were practically useless.

For most of 2020 we simultaneously received news similar to "South Korea locks down this district of Seoul after a lot of people tested positive for COVID in a party last night" and "the UK government is considering a country-wide lockdown in the next few weeks because the amount of people being treated for COVID in hospitals". The difference in prevention infrastructure and planning were embarrassing.

I'd like to also bring up the Helium Network which is an entirely novel use of blockchain technology where Proof-of-work is done by being a LongFi transmitter and having other transmitters check each other's signals as a way to verify that it's actually up and working. Miners literally make money by running LongFi cell towers from their house. It's currently bootstrapping a LongFi cell network world wide and is already prolific in every major american city. If this technology could be applied to power generation or even cell service we could have a real decentralized network with no companies in charge.

I don't mean to pick on you specifically, but this sort of remark is why the left and intellectuals more widely fail at winning politically. Rather than use arguments that are amenable even to people who disagree on the fundamentals, you would rather retain the moral high-ground by refusing even to debate on their terms, thereby failing to actually influence policy (in this case a matter of life and death).

If the death penalty debate were framed more around "innocent people get killed" and less around more nebulous value-judgement based arguments (which, though valid, divide pretty neatly along partisan and class lines), perhaps the death penalty in the US would have gone long ago.
...and for securing all the balances and transaction history of the network.
