As soon as the 500 players are spread either around the map (so that it doesn't have to handle 500 entities sending updates to all other 500 ones ) it takes around 3 ms

Or if they spread across all 70+ maps we see a good utilization of every scheduled but still most map processing spending most their time idling
This is very wrong because as another comment mentioned, we are constantly on the verge of collapse of the health care capacity. I have friends who work in hospitals and the measures a government in Europe seems to take seems to always have as loose as possible measures while keeping the health care system at near maximum strain. Many people recover from covid in the hospital and even bigger problem is that if many more people are sick from covid, the people with other unrelated issues are lacking health care attention. One number I've heard is that we will see an increase in deaths from unrelated health problems which would usually get detected on time but since it's hard to get an appointment
More and more tech companies are beginning to hire for soft skills as a main emphasis, with basic technical skills as a given. They're tending to intentionally NOT hire l337 folks, with a lot of emphasis on avoiding the "brilliant jerk." So, if you are personally interested in the work, willing to learn, and aren't a jerk, you'll probably go further than someone who has traveling salesman memorized in 8 languages.
Bottoming out is a neglected problem. (The long soft stop is one of the reasons the IBM Selectric has the best key feel ever.)

The Apple Extended Keyboard II is probably the most common ‘mechanical’ keyboard that was made with rubber ~baby~ button bottom bumpers. Unfortunately, for Jobs, “This keyboard represents everything about Apple that I hate.”

But in general, different people encounter different types of RSI. For me the problem is wrist motion or position, so a Kinesis contoured keyboard and Kensington Slimblade trackball were a solution.
Tax evasion is illegal. Tax avoidance is rational. Other EU countries have the ability to lower taxes right? It’s ironic that the EU is suing Apple because Spotify doesn’t want to pay 15% to Apple, yet the same people complaining of that have no problem with Apple attempting to avoid higher costs by having a non-Irish EU headquarters.

There's another much more important limits on AWS SES that the article doesn't mention if you try to do this for normal email, the 10MB message size limit, which translates to about a 6MB maximum attachment size.

It works fine for transactional mail and most newsletters, but quite a few users expect to be email larger files than that.

A cgi-bin is as highly available as the web infrastructure hosting it, which as the cgi-bin author you don't need to know anything about.

A cgi-bin cannot "crash" because there is nothing long-running to crash. It is only run on demand.

I think it is easy to make the case that CGI was the proto-serverless api and that the serverless offerings we have today are an evolution of the CGI approach.

I will also agree that if you just erase all the risk from the market due to the downturns, that the market becomes a great investment.

But what's the relevance of that? When the next bubble pops, whether it be in two weeks, two years, or a decade, you and your investments are going to experience it. Some of those red splotches go on for twenty years.

As for why doing "just barely better than inflation" is marked as red, the chart accounts for inflation, but it doesn't account for a time value of money. Putting $1 dollar in the market to get $1.04 back out 30 years later is not a positive investement.

"Yet despite that, the majority of that chart shows returns moderately above inflation, sitting in at around the 4% safe withdrawal rate."

Which is why it is generally not a terrible idea to invest in the stock market.

But this is basically a goal-post move relative to the "common wisdom", which presents it as a done-deal that the stock market is always a good investment that produces a ~7% return every year. It won't matter to you that it tends to generally produce a relatively decent return over 50 years if you are currently, unbeknownst to you, at the beginning of one of those big red areas that may stretch down for decades.

Look at the stock market as it stands today. I will not tell you 100% that we are in such an area; internet commentators have predicted one million of the past 3 recessions. But I will tell you that it's an awfully plausible story.
What tool can I use to simply create and manage text files like these? Something that can indent and wrap using spaces rather than rich formatting. https://tldp.org/HOWTO/text/DHCP
I had a similar experience.

Cherry MX Blue switch keyboards all around the house for a few years, then I noticed my hands and arms ache like hell after extended coding sessions where I am typing more than copy/pasta. I attributed this to the amount of pressure I was exerting to get the keys to depress in an agreeable way.

Fast forward to now, I am using a Realforce R2 w/ Topre switches. The first few days I felt like I was typing on a cloud with zero feedback, but I got used to it really quickly. Can code for 12 hours straight now without any difficulties. Your fingers get desensitized to subtle forces when you are slamming those heavy keys around all the time.

I went back and tried the MX blue keyboard the other day and it felt like typing on a pile of marble.

You imply an interesting question: Do the dead have all the same rights as the living? I'm leaning towards no. So I think it's a little different from gifting something while alive, for starters, a gift while alive is typically at personal cost unless you no longer have any use for the item. Once dead you have no use for any items, as you're definitionally out of the "able to use things" population.

> A good, refactored-to-be-DRY config file that is typesafe completely obliviates any need for dhall and if you've got a Turing complete YAML monstrosity it's not going to help much.

Dhall is a "refactored-to-be-DRY config file that is typesafe", and the host of safety-related features ( https://docs.dhall-lang.org/discussions/Safety-guarantees.ht... ) make this practical to implement, even while evaluating untrusted & potentially malicious dhall code. These guarantees are much stronger than what nearly any other config or scripting language provides.
Your assumption is wrong and this is precisely why "The Beatles Apple" attacked "Steve Jobs Apple" on the Trademark front.

I have an Apple TV and was able to get it setup using just an apple account.

It has all worked well except two things:

-The remote is inferior to the one that ships with roku. The touchpad you can get used to, but there are so few buttons and one of them is dedicated to just opening the apple tv app (even though we mostly use netflix / amazon).

-I signed up for paramount+ from apple tv's app, and then later needed to change my credit card number. They want me to open iTunes to do this. I can update my card number on the website, but seemingly to get that associated with my streaming subscription I need to use iTunes. Why a proprietary app on a closed platform is needed for something everyone else let's you use a website for is beyond me.

I'll say Apple is famous for their UX design, but something feels unintuitive with the remote and some of the UI choices. However, overall we've gotten used to it and it works well.
Really interesting and somewhat surprising chart.

That said I think there's some important drawbacks to point out.

First, that 7% figure that's often quoted is usually meant to mean nominal return. At least, that's the way it works relative to the commonly cited 4% SWR.

Second, buying and selling exactly once will greatly increase the variability of returns and also the likelihood of negative returns. It's important though to realize that this isn't actually how almost anyone invests, so just counting periods of negative returns under that assumption isn't particularly meaningful.

The more Apple have tried to strangle Spotify, the more I am determined to wait this out and get Spotify working properly on Siri and Watch.

Every time I accidentally say "Siri play ${song_name}" without appending "on Spotify" and Siri nonchalantly replies that it cannot find ${song_name} in my Apple Music library, I double down on my determination not to let them win!

Wasn't the default app thing declared a problem decades ago when Microsoft made you use IE? Why is Apple still allowed to force me to have Apple Music (and Apple Maps) as my defaults?

I'll second this, with the caveat that you won't always get HD streams.

Netflix only supports 720p on Linux, and I believe Amazon Prime is limited to SD as well.

Disney+ doesn't support Linux, but works for me right now with a spoofed user agent, and claims to be 1080P. YouTube TV works fine without any spoofing, and also claims to be 1080P.

I don't know if Hulu works now, I haven't tried it in years. Vudu doesn't support Linux and I didn't try to work around it. Not sure about any of the other new services like HBO Max, or the CBS or NBC streaming services.
Why does there need to be anti-tracking laws? What if some people want to be tracked in exchange for a cheaper product? Apple allows people that value that to buy that.
I disagree with your assessment, email is a service and not a server. A service can run on a server, or ephemerally as in this article (which still has servers underneath it, you're just not running them). S3 and SES are services running on servers.
I wouldn't say it's a hack, but I would agree it's not the standard way to do things in the LiveView world, exactly because latency it's an overstated or misunderstood issue. But if you want to do more, LiveView gives you the tools.

I still maintain some React/Vue apps and work with on a daily basis, so it's not a distant memory.

I like choosing the right tool for the right job. For example, I would still choose ReactNative over 2 different code bases for a mobile app for a small team that needs to move fast. For the 5% of cases when that wouldn't do you would need to go native. I see the situation similarly with LiveView. It's hard to beat its productivity & power in 95% of use cases.

> By becoming the first major tech company to commit to power its data centers with carbon-free energy around the clock, Google is setting a new high-bar for the sector: a break-up with fossil fuels altogether.

I didn't think these people could be happy about anything, but what a surprise. Seems like they like Google approach.

Now Google needs to deliver, but I have no doubt that they will.

It's really just good business for corporations like Facebook, Google and Microsoft to increase efficiency and use the cheapest sources of power i.e. renewable.

It just has to take some time to do the switch. There is a lot of infrastructure involved.

I think it's not just the data. At this point they're selling access to you.

If you're Roku and you're the largest in the market, a company like YouTube or NBC or HBO needs to be on your devices. So you ask for X% of the profits and Y% of the ads and you start skimming off that.

Many reports have said that Roku wants 20% of streaming charges and 30% of the ad buys. If HBO is charging people $15/mo, that's $3 per HBO subscriber per month. For apps like Discovery or others with ads, you're potentially becoming the largest television advertising powerhouse ever. Imagine 10 years in the future if Roku is 80% of the streaming box market and they're selling 30% of the ads across all the TV you watch. Imagine if they're getting 20% of all the pay-TV revenue.

Right now, Netflix has been too big for companies like Roku to put pressure on. However, Netflix has been losing ground as more competitors pop up in the market. I'm not saying that Netflix is vulnerable to pressure now, but as more and more consumers get Peacock, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, etc., there's the possibility that Roku could also start pressuring Netflix.

Historically, Netflix has been the company that pressured the device makers. If your device couldn't play Netflix, no one would buy it. I think that's still the case today, but 10 years from now Netflix will be facing off against an entire industry of streaming companies and it's possible that some households become HBO Max/Prime households (or the like). If that happens, Roku will start having power over Netflix.
Yes very small. But keep trying and see what happens.

You can get 1080p with Netflix or Amazon Prime in Firefox on Linux. It just requires some addons to modify their client app js (because the DRM verification level is high enough, it's only their frontend that disables this)

Just because a company isn't distributing dividends doesn't mean you're only buying a story. AMZN still has lots of room to grow. If I'm an investor in AMZN I would much rather them reinvest profits into a data center that will produce even more future profits than distribute the money to me. Once these growth companies top out in terms of their market share they'll pivot to distributing dividends, same as large established companies like Coca Cola

Yup. My main gripe with Ansible is exactly this. Too much mutable state, too imperative, too much reliance on "gathering facts". There's no singular source of truth. It tries to be declarative, but every Ansible deployment I've maintained (granted, not many) always accretes corner cases and config drift. Maybe that's just the nature of the domain - mutating live systems will always be more imperative than (re)deploying the whole thing from scratch.

I'd much rather use python/jinja/gomplate/what-have-you, do all my fancy expressive stuff with code I can check in, and get a single snapshot of plain, structured text (which I can also check in). Not to mention locking down your invariants (I can't recall how many times I've gotten bit by interpolating docker image uris with the wrong TAG). It's actually pushed me towards first Make and then later python cli tools (cause Makefile syntax is...ugh) to generate configs, rather than relying on any runtime business logic, cause it's just so much saner, traceable, auditable, etc.
