I ran this on a Flask app. The app has no linting issues and decent test coverage. Vulture reported 192 incidences of unused methods/classes/variables/functions, all at "60% confidence" (whatever that means). There might be some legitimately-unused code in there, but this is almost entirely false positives, with the same "confidence".

It seems like people build giant whitelists when using it with Flask, Django, and other frameworks. Given the volume of false positives, it seems like a maintenance burden to me.

Maybe there's some trick to using it effectively, but it's not obvious to me.
But is that actually true? Most of the time in these oysters, you end up re-capped and your original equity taken away.
Can't say that is inaccurate.
Why do you believe Reason's claims without evidence?
That's exactly the thing. I will take more launches. So overall its still true. If you did the exact same flights, overall you would end up with many fewer kg landed on Mars.

But of course that inefficiency is gone be buffered by more refueling.

Still calculate the lost efficiency on the scale on a mars base and 1kg is a major.

Not to mention the system suggest above.
> I still get to keep all my shares

That often isn’t the case. I personally know of situations where CEOs were pushed out and recapped to effectively little.
I feel skeptical as well.

> We couldn't get it to work for two years," Li said, "and suddenly it started working. We got beautiful results that matched what we expected.

How many times have you gotten an algorithm to work, where later you realize you had an off by 1 error, or a double free somewhere in your code that you didn’t catch until you exposed your program to more situations?

I am curious about how they validated the ML approach. The advantage of simulation is the ability to uncover emergent phenomena that are difficult to predict and are not expected. It could be that they’re averaging a lot of common situations and they may miss novel outcomes.
Googler, opinions are my own.

I don't agree with you. My read on why they keep doing reset days is that "down" time doesn't really exist anymore. When in the office at Google, there are lots of "fun" things that can eat up time. Be it team off-sites (this is a big one for me), office events, fun classes, etc... we don't have those. To me, reset days are making up for people working more due to being at home with fewer outlets to take up their time.

I also get the feeling that people are taking way less vacation. Vacation is important to most people's sanity at a company, so reset days help with that as well.
Assumptions based on contributing factors. You had people more or less hold off on everything for a year, which tanked suppliers. Now that there's light at the end of the tunnel, everyone is buying making up for lost time, while supply hasn't recovered and realistically aren't going to double their capacity for what is seen as a short term spike.

With lumber prices where they're at, you'd see mills popping up like oil wells if they had any hope those were permanent increases.

Seems only meniton of Snobol is in the comments. Hard to ignore it because Snobol was the first to use associative arrays ("tables"). Awk copied this, then Perl, etc. I do not use Python. I love Snobol because it has an assembly-like feel to it. Much faster than Python.
Yeah, totally. It was. I myself remember my first 10 megabyte hard card. I had stuffed it into some 8086 PC to run a CAD program. Prior to that, anything over a floppy seemed huge!

Funny, I had a flash back to a high school chat. Friend had picked up on digital music. Sampling was a thing we all heard about and the chat was no noise, perfect music one can carry around on chips...

Seemed like sci-fi. We were using Apple 2 computers, some with a half megabyte of RAM. A CD held so much information!

I’m just a tad more jaded and think had the reality been shown more, it would just have been spun by media to fit a desired narrative (i.e. what you’re seeing is normal, you’re just see it for the first time, and you should ask why you’re being made to see this now) or worse it would be called fake news/actors (e.g. students who survived school shootings being called actors, or entire school shootings being called fake).

I'd recommend starting out with a landing page first before you build the app. Like a really nice, well-designed one, that captures your vision and core points. Just copy some startup landing page you like and tweak it. Create from scratch or use webpage builder.

Gives you advantages: something you can share with others, a developed/implemented vision, something you can actually launch at any time without the underlying product for testing reasons, and something that will psychologically motivate you.

I used to build out backends first because it was easier for me, but many projects just didn't get launched. The landing page first is actually harder in my opinion, but psychologically having something presentable makes the project feel real.
Seconding this. A security clearance in particular would be very useful.

Hello I posted this a week ago but it's iterated quite a lot since then. I don't expect much discussion I'm just sort of using posting here to keep a track of my progress and see if any of the iterations sticks with this community. I've got some ideas on use cases in terms of customer support, bug reporting or just sort of a weird thing where you can cobrowse with other people.

I have WebRTC support but I've turned it off in favor of websockets because I find that in general the performance is better. But I'd like to play around with the sctp settings as well as experimenting with a per frame ack before we send the next frame to improve WebRTC performance because I think one of the things that's going wrong with it is it will send a lot of frames and they kind of get stuck in transit which then causes latency. if I do that I think webrtc should be able to perform better than websocket but I'm not sure.

I wouldn’t assume this, or that they’re worth the same.
No, there is no circular argument. If someone thinks the world is an OK place, either they're speaking from a position of privilege or they are lying. Assuming privilege is in this case the kindest interpretation of their words.
I remember American TV regularly showing things like Palestinian children blown to bits back in nineties, or atrocities of wars in Africa, and then it somehow just disappeared.
Overwatch had that April Fools card last month, and it was a ton of fun. They should do something like that every month -- shake up the core of the game for no good reason whatsoever. There's no way to monetize that, though, so I guess it's not a priority. That's the downside, for users, of the "buy once" model.

Unlike most people here, I have fun pretty much every time I open the game. It's exactly my style. Nearly 100% uptime where you're gaming. Lots of dumb voice lines and silly characters. Always something to do or see or be amused by. I didn't play computer games at all before Overwatch, I bought it on a whim, and it became my thing. There is always some way to play better, a new hero to explore, new custom games, new friends to meet, etc. I'm still getting a lot of value for that initial $40, probably more value than I've ever gotten out of anything.

At least for me, Blizzard made something I didn't even know I wanted. That is really impressive for a Fortune 500 company.
I don't think it's repetitive work or expectations surrounding labour that cause psychic distress, but worker alienation, which is one of my main gripe with capitalism.

I might be wrong here, but I feel that we can endure a repetitive work schedule and high expectations if we feel connected to the work and the fruit of our labour.
While I think visibility of these horrific things is important, watching too many or dwelling on them just isn't healthy. It reminds me of this opinion article on watching police videos:

Yes and no.

I see your point and agree totally on the "want to play" level.

However it is really legit to consider new options. After all Blizzard's games are community driven - and why not try to increase the community?

Execution was really bad. That's where I agree again. So it is a tough business after all. Like show business. Have a look at Star Wars for example.

The automotive industry has standards that govern the systematic development of safety-critical systems (hardware and software). The most significant is probably ISO 26262, which defines an “Automotive Safety Integrity Level” and methods for ensuring the safety and reliability of components at a given integrity level. There are also standards like MISRA C, which are basically defined code quality and software development guidelines to reduce bugs in critical software.
Amazon uses this exact strategy. They write the press release first, then work backwards to design the product.

> The problem is that "The Blizzard Way" is not what Activision Blizzard has actually been doing for the past many years.

This isn't true though. Delaying (and not announcing) Diablo 4 is typical "Blizzard Way" nonsense. Same with the Overwatch content drought.

> Overwatch you would be surprised to know has some very impressive player numbers even now, for a game that gets no updates. Now that Jeff Kaplan is gone, I'm afraid the last of the best of original Blizzard are gone. I really, really, really hope Overwatch 2 is good. I will give it a few solid chances and I will revisit it. I fear the worst though, I don't think Jeff would leave his baby like that.

I wouldn't be surprised about anything related to Overwatch as I have played competitively/semi competitively since the beta. Overwatch is kind of an excellent example of a good idea implemented so poorly it's really sad to watch. I don't think Jeff Kaplan was a great game director.

> The story of Activision Blizzard is monetization for the sake of monetization alone, and management decisions formed solely on the basis that they sound good to other managers. Overwatch had the pleasure of being shielded by Jeff Kaplan

You've convinced yourself of a very flowery narrative about Overwatch and Jeff Kaplan that I just don't think is based in reality. It's pretty bad from a content standpoint, terrible from a balance standpoint, doing horribly as an esport, about to pump out a "sequel" that is actually just fluff content. I think it's about as mismanaged as I can imagine.
I took it really seriously when I saw videos of hospitals in NYC stacking bodies in a freezer truck because there were just too many. They should have shown that more. I usually assume anchors and reporters exaggerate for ratings today, so they've lost a lot of credibility. When I see a video, I get an unfiltered view of what's going on.

As a side note, I implore people to watch police interaction videos and how often they are captured on video casually violating civil rights as standard operating procedure. YouTube has endless content of this. It will make you think twice about the reality of world you live in. If it bothers you, call your mayor or city government.
> No, the 1-2 punch of Reddit and Discord have all but decimated the old vBulletin forum days. If you have a niche interest, Reddit and Discord are pretty much the only place to find a community for it. It's very dominant in that space now.

You missed the point. Reddit redesign is ensuring everybody flocks back to a more readable form of social media that does not look like reddit redesign.
Wow! The clip on the Mac 128K is kind of rough, but the one on the Mac SE is totally watchable! I could easily see myself watching an entire movie that way, if I didn't have access to any other screen for some bizarro reason.
The Remarkable Power of Hope
I think you could revert Overwatch to the launch day build, and people would play it a lot differently now than they did back then. The community learning to play the game will happen no matter what balance changes show up on the backend; balance changes just force people out of their local maximum towards a new higher local maximum. But, you could do that without balance changes. Just try something new. There is probably a better strategy out there.
Similar thing happened to me when I contacted support for Google play music a couple years ago. The person was very nice, but (s)he had zero detailed knowledge about the product. (S)He was literally searching for my problem on Google and reading from random blogs to me. I realised it immediately because I had done the same searches before contacting support.

I understand the system perfectly

true: SR change isn't constant, delta SR after a game is based on the difference between your MMR and SR

SR is essentially irrelevant, MMR is the only number that matters

your SR oscillates around your MMR, essentially at random

MMR also has a confidence value, "elo hell" is where you can't win enough to unstick the confidence value

if you win more than 50% consistently the confidence value will drop, your MMR will increase, then your SR will follow it

a new account has a zero value for the confidence, which is why the MMR (and SR that follows it) is more volatile, at least to begin with

Do you mean your learning unrelated things and its making learning tech and work related things tolerable again? Or just learning in general has been good for you?
Of course. The prospect of working 40 hours a week for the rest of your life on some miserable bullshit job, with no perspective and the future looking bleak, tends to make people depressed.

But instead of admitting that their life simply sucks, they are brainwashed into thinking that there must be something wrong with them.

On the contrary, I don't find it entertaining at all. In fact I generally can't bring myself to watch LiveLeak videos, those text descriptions are my limit. But I do think my understanding of such situations is poorer for not doing so.

They mention a GAN which is a generative model and currently no good measure of evaluation (beside metrics like Fréchet inception distance).

The article only mentions a qualitative comparison but no incorporation of causal / physic based-modeling that I would imagine would be important in astronomy.

Easy enough for GAN to synthesize realistic, high-resolution images without any underlying model of reality / casuality.
