> First, the OP describes an eSIM for his mobile phone - in this case with a provider named "silent.link". In my experience, eSIMs provide "voip" numbers and not actual "mobile" numbers. This is an important distinction since most 2FA verifications[1] come not from a phone number, but from a "short code"[2] and voip numbers cannot receive SMS from a short code. So you are quite limited in what services you can sign up for and maintain with just an eSIM.

You are right but this issue is even bigger as many smaller providers too use something that is more VOIP than anything else. My actual phone number gets redflagged ~80% of the time. Meaning i use shady SMS verification services most of the time.
While I agree with you overall, the easy vs difficult comparison doesn't make much sense to me. Putting aside the fact that people are skilled at different things, if you find writing a piece of software easy then all your competitors do as well. The fact that you can get instant feedback and push updates now means that you have to iterate your product overnight instead of on a 3 year cycle (because your competitors are definitely doing it as well). There can definitely be just as much risk, complexity and frustration in software.

Britain, ex-EU, has the biggest mass surveillance in the world in place. London, the global leader, has more cameras per capita than Beijing. I wonder what other cities in the EU have high numbers of cameras per capita as well?
Maybe because creating custom deb packages can be a hair-pulling experience?

But this is our flow too. We have a jenkins job that builds our master branch and uploads deb packages to jfrog. And then another to create a GCP image with these psckages, and a third to actually deploy these images to GCE. Containers are used for the various jenkins jobs, but not on the actual GCE instances.
I followed a similar approach for my novel; started with Markdown, used pandoc to convert it to epub/mobi, but also to LibreOffice .odt to generate the PDF for the paperback. Wrote some details about the process here: https://gabrielgambetta.com/tgs-open-source.html

I think "Infinite" has to be understood not in the mathematical sense (as obviously nothing is infinite) but in the sense of letting the player experience as many new environments as they like. No mans sky is a good example of this, I think.

I also don't find too large game worlds intrinsically interesting, but there are many popular things I find boring so I'm not using my own sentiment as a gamer as a benchmark here.

unclear if basing insurance decision on profit is a good rule of thumb.

Dumb thought experiment: my business plan is to sell badly engineered custom software below cost, but make it up by volume. All the clients love the low sticker price until they realise my software doesn't work. Then they all litigate to recover what they paid. Even though my business runs at a loss, it is not obvious that avoiding insurance is good decision.

(Not obvious that insuring me is a winning strategy for an insurer either.)
I agree with previous commenter: it's impossible to make an MMO on a shoestring budget. Until someone does it. Saying something is impossible because you've seen many failures indicates a lack of imagination, not wisdom.
delisted

un- is a prefix for adjectives, not verbs.

Paul Daniels (you can find him on youtube) has some software which I think is OSS (but don't quote me on that) which helps navigate the schematics and cad. His channel also has lots of videos of him fixing mac books.

There's another channel on youtube, louis rossman, a really entertaining new yorker who fixes mac books and explains how he goes about doing it. He uses Paul Daniels software.

Louis is fighting for the right to repair as well. He's always ranting about how apple makes it impossible for others to repair macs. Apple themselves don't really repair macs, if a product is out of warranty they usually quote a repair price that makes it cheaper to buy a new mac.

I have no idea how to track down the schematics, though.

I can totally see this starting to matter, but I do want to point out that it hasn't ground your business to a halt just yet and is very very unlikely to. From what I've seen most ops pain comes from a lack of automation when deploying -- as in if the process is 5-10 or even 15 minutes, no one really cares (outside of an emergency) if it's completely automated. Do you find that is true with your work as well?

I can certainly see that it can be a painful problem (10-40GiB is huge), but I expect most smaller shops that aren't running on their own servers/colo as such these image sizes were never even an option (I can't imagine trying to upload 40GB across the public internet to launch one instance!).
> Yes, if you have super accurate metrics of what success looks like and the domain is highly competitive and lucrative then the scrappy upstart has poor chances.

According to their Kickstarter, this is exactly the place they placed themselves. Head on competition with huge competitors. That was the point that I was making. You can of course create a 2nd "Minecraft" and be successful, but that is clearly not what is happening here.

Their claim is basically "we can be 1000x more productive than any of the established game developers". I can give you my estimate of those odds ;).
Thanks for your response. With deliverables, do you mean that you divide the project in parts and get paid for every part separately?
The machine would just power off about 10 seconds after connecting to a WiFi network.

Remove the WiFi board and all was fine.

Turns out the WiFi card is PCI express and one of the signalling lines associated with the bus sleep functionality had a pull up resistor that was open circuit.

Replaced the resistor and now all is fine.

I found the schematic by typing random text strings from the board into baidu. Ended up finding the 500+ page schematic direct from Apple (presumably leaked from a supplier). It ended up coming from one of those silly websites where you have to earn coins by uploading other leaked documents to download the one you want - luckily they're easily fooled by uploading opensource projects. It is interesting to see the ways Apple design things - for example every component, even down to resistors and capacitors, is marked which production test covers it (or if it isn't covered at all by tests, like the one I had that was broken!).
>The dollar system is set up such that they have to ‘invest’ or else they will never be able to afford a house. Savings will bankrupt them.

This is what happens when inflation is low, yet people consider inflation the devil. If the Fed could actually hit inflation goals this whole farce would be over. We'd be at the end of the long term debt cycle and a whole lot of fake value would disappear into thin air and after all the bad debt and bad companies have been cleaned up, there would be enough room for productive companies.
Windows Terminal has a very noticeable lag when typing. To me that makes it completely unusable. I'm using this other default WSL shell app -- I don't actually know what it's called, just says "Ubuntu" for Ubuntu WSL installation.
Undoubtedly I am in the minority here, but I think it's less a question of ethics, and more a question of bad judgement. You just don't submit vulnerabilities into the kernel and then say "hey, I just deliberately submitted a security vulnerability".

The chief problem here is not that it bruises the egos of the Linux developers for being psyched, but that it was a dick move whereby people now have to spend time sorting this shit out.

Prof Liu miscalculated. The Linux developers are not some randos off the street where you can pay them a few bucks for a day in the lab, and then they go away and get on with whatever they were doing beforehand. It's a whole community. And he just pissed them off.

It is right that Linux developers impose a social sanction on the perpetrators.

It has quite possibly ruined the student's chances of ever getting a PhD, and earned Liu a rocket up the arse.
It's possible that they are developing a static analysis tool that is designed to find places where vulnerabilities can be inserted without looking suspicious. That's kind of scary.

Have they submitted patches to any projects other than the kernel?

> we got a very inward and reactionary response (lockdowns etc) [...] it's probably a consequence of having mostly lawyers in charge

I disagree. Lockdowns were not proposed by lawyers or politicians, but rather the scientific community. In fact, in countries were the scientific advice was ignored, you had the fewest restrictions.

Also, "At the beginning of the pandemic, there should've been overwhelming support for therapeutics and vaccines." shows what the problem really is.

This is the politicians POV, in my opinion. A kind of mythical man-month for science. Long-term investment must be made in fundamental science so we can have nice things like mRNA vaccines. The politicians mentality of "pour millions in research" and they'll come up with something in two weeks is a real problem. Pure and fundamental research must be supported continuously, which is something politicians typically don't.

I do too (my laptop is pretty beefy though), and yes you're right this would be a problem, if containers weren't built to combat this with Copy on Write filesystems.

That said, dependencies do take up a lot of space, but machines these days also come with a lot of space. People also run prune and develop caching strategies (ex. NPM) as a result. It's not like every container will be a GB in size, as it's not reasonable to have every container have that much content, but how many people are out there using 950MB dependency-filled base containers with 50MB of actual relevant application code? Most people learned the run-it-on-alpine lesson like 5+ years ago at this point.

> The quality of leadership has really declined. Western countries seem to be run exclusively by petty managers.

Most Western countries are either run by Conservatives (as their voters don't vote for the Conservatives but rather against "communists") or by populists who rose to power because people were fed up too much (e.g. Macron, BoJo).

The problem with voting for a party only because the other party is worse is that it places no pressure on the "not as bad" party to improve and keep themselves accountable.

Another cause, especially in Eastern Europe with Hungary's Orban but also in Germany with BILD or Fox "News" in the US, is media that is either directly controlled or massively influenced by government politics. A constant barrage of propaganda will always keep voters for the Conservative parties.

I've seen interest bearing crypto accounts. You can get 6% APY on stablecoins. Any project that promises you more than that is calculating APY for the current day or hour. 40% APY for less than a single day is just misleading advertisement.

Although I am generally against cryptocurrencies, I cannot be against the idea of building a decentralized banking system (cryptocurrencies are merely cash). I mean, if we get to do it with fiat, they surely deserve to do it with their cryptocurrencies.
I have no clue about all of that. Yet just by skimming through and reading a few words here and there something felt very wrong.

This is wrong. Unity has frustum culling enabled by default. You are correct that it only operates at whole model level though.

Occlusion culling in Unity is fairly straightforward. Simply requires a bake. It also supports 'occlusion areas' where you can give it a hint to do a higher resolution occlusion bake e.g. if you think the player will likely be in that area.

Edit: originally misread parent as stating Unity didn't frustum cull by default. Parent comment is correct.
Thats pretty sweet shading. Love how it captures the sunlight reflecting on the buildings in the SF example without just averaging out those colors and making it look bland.

Sure. I am just frustrated like probably so many other Europeans on EU's handling of this.

Agreed -- edge computing is a different world, and the difference between 100kb-1mb-10mb-100mb is huge. What I was discussing is definitely not a fit at that scale/usecase -- I'd argue that most infrastructure using containers (and mos t people who see this blog post) are not built for this scale/use-case, and I'm not sure containers even make sense in the edge computing paradigm just yet.

Do you think that managers in Calabria actually check if the threat came from an actual 'ndrangheta affiliate or not? I think it's simply a matter of "looking dangerous" and the idea (probably correct) that reporting to the police is much more risky than just doing nothing. Anyone who has little to lose can behave in the same threatening way where there is no repercussion to be feared.

Another anecdote - on working Xeon E3 hardware (so ECC, etc) I have had btrfs corrupt itself as recently as 5.x kernels from just normal use with compression on a single root device. ext4, xfs and zfs work flawlessly on the same hardware.

Furthermore - btrfs feels excessively complicated for simple workflows - if I want to snapshot a btrfs volume without exposing the snapshot to the machine’s view of the file system, I have to do a bunch of volume layout setup first. With ZFS I can just snapshot.
