I finished RE8 on Stadia on launch day; it looks great on PC but for some reason it looks even better on a TV with the CCU. As someone who's put hundreds of £s and hours into Stadia, I'm quite content with it, I wish it had more games though, most of the free titles that come with Stadia Pro are ridiculous (though, to be fair, they did help me discover gems such as The West of Loathing).

This is great. One way closer to a computation platform, were the data just streams continuously through operative "channels" and the execution is mostly encoded into the layout of the data in memory. There is just no "program" to load, just a river of data, squeezing through cores which endlessly in parallel perform the same operations (until some other driftwood in the data instructs them to change that in this case for example a addition operation).

The complexity of such a program would be mostly done at compile time, layouting the instructionflow into the memory.
Data would have physics, as in the parallel nature of this "simulation" pumping data through would add something roughly similar to our physics to the behaviour. Interaction between parallel processed elements has a scope, like a lightcone in our physics. (SumOf(NrOfCores*LargestChunkOfData))

If you want to safely remove or place new data into the whole affair, one just leaves large enough "gaps" in the datastream that can be assumed to firewall.

In my undergrad time i build a little comp science experiment. Nothing fenzy, just a idealized, parallel "Engine", copying datachunks of size from Buffer A to Buffer B.

https://github.com/PicassoCT/CompScienceExperiments/tree/mas...

Even just this has interesting interaction behaviour. Like sand at the beach, the data get sorted by size after intervals. One also insert "dark matter" aka dead chunks into the buffers, which has the effect of "accelerating" large chunks of data, while the small chunks stay put. All of this is from the point of view of the buffer of course, in which time is one "total copying from a to b".

Sorry i found this fascinating, even though it might be of no value besides distraction at all.

For me, Twitter is immensely useful only if I use the search feature.
I honestly couldn't come up with a less compelling set of paid features if I tried. I would love to see things like no ads/promoted tweets, premium API access for third-party devs, live timeline streaming (more like what Tweetdeck does [or did]), higher quality media, and the ability to always keep the reverse chronological timeline.
The Flawless Typography Checklist (https://www.typewolf.com/checklist) from Typewolf is a great resource that has served me well on multiple projects. It covers the following:

- Punctuation & Type

- Body Text

- Legibility & Readability

- Layout & Hierarchy

- Typeface Selection & Pairing

- Design & Branding

The Typewolf site itself is pretty cool as well, but skews towards print/graphic/marketing site design that isn't always applicable to applications, though there are some exceptions.
Great comment. Not sure why it gets downvoted.
That is the standard lab-leak theory. Intentional manipulation of the virus was the strawman used to discredit it, by conflating the two.

...which is especially interesting in that it's going mainstream alongside more serious looks at the gain of function research that was funded there. This is actually more conspiratorial than what people had been saying for the past 14 months.
It didn't have a block chain. There's a great BBc iPlayer podcast about it, crypto queen. Worth a listen. Apologies if this has already been mentioned.

Fair enough. For what it's worth, Stadia pro includes Destiny 2 and the expansions/DLC and there's a 1 month free promo. (The base game is also totally free without the pro trial, but honestly there's not much to do in the base game anymore.)

Stadia plays Destiny at 60fps (pretty sure Xbox One is 30). So it sometimes actually feels as good or better than on consoles imo. In any case, since it's free it's worth checking out just to see what the tech is like. You might reaffirm your opinions, but you might reconsider them too.

Africa has 54 countries, thousands of languages and 1.2 billion people.

As an African, whenever I see this map I'm more astonished by how densely populated Europe and India are, how big and populated China is and how homogeneous the US is compared to its size.
The FTC isn't able to mandate that manufacturers support a third party supply chain for parts or release repair documentation - perhaps in the EU that could be done with a bureaucracy but in the U.S. it would require an act of Congress. These types of studies serve to provide talking points in debates over such legislation. So it's a net positive for the right to repair movement but not any kind of victory. Think of it as stocking up ammunition for a battle.
I guess mainstream is the wrong word for it. During the Trump administration, it seemed like there was an effort to suppress the theory by associating the lab leak theory with Trump supporters. I also recall an Indian virologist trying to suggest SARS-CoV-2 had been modified to have parts of HIV in its genetic material.
Have there been any studies that disprove the correlation between petro-chemical production/usage and the rise in cancer?

I'm not sure if more linguistic diversity will help FLOSS. For a lot of floss software, there isn't even enough documentation in English and looking at communities that tend to have resources in their own languages (Chinese and Japanese seem for me to be the main ones), there's usually a large divide to the rest of the English speaking floss community, which hurts both sides. For countries with more English speakers (e.g. most European countries) I don't think translations provided to developers will prove beneficial.

For example, here in Germany a lot of mcu-related german-language resources are written in the mikrocontroller.net wiki. It has some good content, but it's often very apparent that not much has been updated in the last ~10 years, in many cases misdirecting potential beginners to less-that-optimal progression paths.

You can also see a lot of people with programming experience switching their system to English, to easily find resources in case of e.g. obscure errors.

The language-mastery issue is real, especially for very young people, but I'm not sure if "forcing" people isn't the better call. At least in my peer group it seems like most interested people became pretty adept at English and I'm not aware of any that gave up because of language issues (although I'm sure there are many examples).

The suggestions for more simplified English in the article seem like good ideas to me. Often times the subject matter is complicated enough, even for people who don't have issues understanding the language.
It's been a while, so I'm not sure if it will work on the newer models, but I used to use the xtensa-lx106-elf (patched from crosstool-NG[0]) toolchain to build my ESP8266 project and then upload it wil esptool.py. There was also esp-open-sdk which was an installer for that toolchain and some additional libraries[1].

io-ts is fantastic (I linked it myself above). The killer feature is that it infers the static types of your runtime schemas for you, so you don't have to define them twice. You make a change to the schema, the rest of your code will typecheck against it.
It also prevents borrowing `inp` or `inp.phrase` as mutable which makes it useless for most cases.
Politicians and lobbyists have managed to conflate gas tax revenue directly with road maintenance funding. The gas tax instead should be seen as an energy dependence tax. Even if there was no possibility of some new energy infrastructure to gas, the revenue should go towards subsidizing energy independence. Finding and creating the best path to achieving energy independence would be incentivised through a discounted future revenue projections of the gas tax and include climate change effects on all industries including road maintenance however minor, along with domestic energy production.
I think the poster is not seeing the forest for the trees. BSD has no real use case except as a way to subsidize giant megacorp development with volunteer work.

Linux, for all its warts, is superior to BSD in nearly every way that matters to application developers and to companies who need a server OS. The areas in which BSD is superior to Linux simply aren't important enough to justify using BSD, unless you are a corporate parasite like Sony and need an operating system with a parasitism-enabling license but don't want to pay for more than a handful of developers.

The market just doesn't seem big enough to support Linux and a handful of BSDs, and at the end of the day that's the real reason why BSD appears to be dying, because there's no reason to reach for BSD when Debian and Slackware exist.

That's an unexpected (to me at least) claim to make - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ajpa.1330530... - I always thought of sexual dimoprhism (men taller than women on average) as a given and this paper backs up my claim specifically in the context of human societies (where it gives a 10cm height advantage in average in men over women, comparing 216 different societies ). There might be some way of counting in which the converse is true, but not in any way I know. I understand you don't want to dig deeper, but thought I'd flag it in case anyone else unwittingly digests this (possibly wrong) knowldge.

I don't know what "modern communication" you're using, but the only emoji I use are ones that can be written in simple ascii, :( , :-/ , :) , :D , ;) , etc. Most emoji are simply symbols for different activities, but they don't need to be used at all. The only place I see heavy use of emoji is on twitter, but that's because of the character limitation. Additionally emoji are colored and not black and white like text so they're glaring with respect to text around them.

My tip for you is to stop using the word preposterous. You present a correct argument here but in my other thread you used the same garbage and offensive language were utterly wrong. You completely embarrassed yourself and had to run away from the conversation.

My advice to you is to be more humble. You're so hellbent on finding people incorrectly pointing out that California is in an economic downturn that you "thought" that this was what I was doing and you ended up humiliating yourself. Then you weaseled your way out by saying it's not productive.
That's also exactly same when I fly from Seoul to Sydney. 1 or 2 hours differences depending on daylight saving but it's actually nothing.

This reminds me of reading about Africa's size in the introduction to Michael Crichton's Congo back when I was a kid:

"Only prejudice, and a trick of the Mercator projection, prevents us from recognizing the enormity of the African continent. Covering nearly twelve million square miles, Africa is almost as large as North America and Europe combined. It is nearly twice the size of South America."
Great post. Learned something new even though I've been using JavaScript for quite some time now.

My position is that no 15 year old deserves a life sentence _without parole_. Are there 15 year olds who commit crimes that truly reflect their irredeemable nature? Perhaps. I expect they are in the minority though, and that's the whole point of a parole board (as flawed a system as that is).
Makes sense. It just seems like parsing is kind of a separate issue and shouldn't be entangled with the concept of input validation.
Oh, I don't think that's likely, even if we assume EVs are unconditionally better than ICE for all users, unless ICE use is meaningfully restricted (either because of explicit restrictions from use within important areas, or because the fuel network shrinks and it becomes onerous to refuel), ICE cars in working condition will still have utility and resale value, even if it goes down and even if new sales are all EV.
Yes, in many cases polluting is profitable because the economy doesn't internalize the negative externality of pollution (and Coase's Theorem fails to hold for various reasons). That's part of what I meant by "There are problems that capitalism makes worse."

This is not one of those cases, precisely because (refining from) new raw materials is not cheaper than recycling waste.
What's "fundamental" in this respect?

If someone is colorblind, and another isn't, does that entail a change in perception? Sure. It means the colorblind guy can't discern things that people with normal vision can.

A person born blind can't see anything and never has. They don't even imagine visual images (only images informed by the remaining senses). Their perception is unimaginable to me and mine to them.

So if women can discern more colors than men, it follows that they experience more colors which seems like a matter of perception. Have you never argued with a woman about the color of a sweater?

IIRC some designs have an airship with probe on a long cable. The airship stays in the relatively cool upper layers of the atmosphere and periodically lowers the probe to study the surface for a short while.

That way you can cool the probe down every time you reel it in instead of making it withstand the hellish temperatures for extended amounts of time.
It never occurred to me that the immune system was involved in keeping cancer at bay, but that makes sense. Shows how lacking my biology knowledge is!

JS, and its multitude of foot-guns, is not something I would call 'well designed'.
Well, the evolutionary split on that difference is a long time ago, so the causality could only be in the opposite direction. It'd be pretty neat if there was a large relationship between sex chromosome size and species' mating patterns.
Websites without Javascript are what I missed the most of the last 10 years.
In my comment, I said, "At that point I looked a bit into the hydrometallurgical processes that were available, enough to convince myself that there were no showstopper problems that would make recycling battery waste uneconomical." That seems to be the "domain knowledge" you're referring to? So I didn't presume I was correct; I investigated and found out what was correct.

This article has much better domain knowledge than what I was able to dig up at the time, though.

I don't think we're arguing past one another at all. The central point of my comment was that people often made the error that crazygringo made; I explained why it was an error. Then, crazygringo responded, reiterating the error. I think my comment was rather precisely targeted at his comment, even though I made it earlier.
So far I've gotten three offers in a row that have such a clause. The first one obstinately refused to make any alterations to the contract - I think it had more to do with unifying employee contracts and less to do with the specific clause, but still - and as a result I turned them down. Haven't had the chance to broach it with the other two yet. We'll see what happens on Monday.

My previous company had no such clause, but it was a tiny startup and was unusual in a few different ways (no VC funding, for one), so I don't know how much of an outlier it was.
Important to do next.

People with Ph.D's often makes up facts and believes in nonsense just like everybody else.
