Indeed. I started rewatching Community on Netflix some months ago, and I noticed the general synopsis said "(One episode of Season 2 is not available.)". I assumed that with so many brands and cultural references that are parodied there may be some weird legal reason why they couldn't distribute a specific episode, either in Spain or in general.

When eventually I got to Season 2 I compared their episode listing with that on Wikipedia, and saw that the unavailable episode was S02E14, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. At first I thought it had to be some weird copyright challenge from D&D... but no. It was because the comedically unlikeable character of Ben Chang obliviously and with no bad intent makes what is a cultural faux-pas in the USA, for which he is criticised, as a minor side joke in the episode [0]! And of course Netflix, in their infinite cultural sensitivity, decided to make the episode unavailable worldwide, as if Netflix users in Spain should even give a damn about a minor American cultural taboo being played for laughs.

Thank God that file sharing of copyrighted files is not illegal in Spain [1], so I was able to carelessly download such an objectionable and immoral episode via The Pirate Bay! Hello Torrent my old friend...

>> “When we win a Golden Globe, it helps us sell more shoes,”

> Is that nugget actually true or is Bezos just obsessed with the glamor of Hollywood?

Could it be more an idea of goodwill[0] ("the intangible value attributable solely to the efforts of or reputation of an owner of the business")? What I mean to say is, having Golden Globes or running a valued streaming service, even if it's not directly correlated with increased retail sales, makes customers generally regard Amazon more highly, more chic?

For all of its faults (and I am very critical of the company), I don't know anyone who derides the company in the same manner that Walmart is derided[1], for example.

I’ve done level control for about 30 hydro electric power plants but with relatively small headponds or reservoirs, between 20m^6 to 50,000 m^2. You can calculate the gains to achieve critical damping, it was one of the first examples in my university controls textbook.

Getting filtering and update rate right is also important.
My favorite SCP: http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-1981

"SCP-1981 appears to be a home video recording of former United States President Ronald Reagan delivering his "Evil Empire" speech to the National Association of Evangelicals at Sheraton Twin Towers Hotel, Orlando, FL on 3/8/1983. However, at 1 minute and 10 seconds, the speech begins to deviate heavily, eventually resembling no known speech ever made by Reagan. Beginning at approximately 5 minutes, multiple incisions, lacerations and penetration wounds can be seen being slowly inflicted, though no corresponding source of these wounds is visible. Despite suffering bodily harm that would likely incapacitate an ordinary person, Reagan will continue to deliver his speech until either his vocal cords are severed or the tape degrades to static at 22:34."

Deliciously creepy.
I recently played Super Meat Boy. It's a great game and the character is basically a red square.
This is... yeah:

Sure they will, if the gameplay is compelling. Maybe they won't pay full price for it (though there are many examples of games with very basic graphics that sell just fine), but an MVP doesn't need to be profitable. What you need at the MVP stage are playtesters who you can validate your gameplay ideas on.

The goalposts will never stop moving, will they? Alright, I'll bite - here is the solution to your problem: move your elderly, immuno-compromised ward into a hermetically sealed facility and do not permit visitors of any kind. Problem solved. If they're truly immuno-compromised, they're just as susceptible to thousands of other communicable viral loads, so they're not much better off even if society becomes 100% vaccinated against covid.

Gentium is an open and free font with amazing quality and character coverage: https://software.sil.org/gentium/

Deja Vu is also open, and pretty nice for screen usage.

As for non-free fonts, I love Gill Sans.
Attitudes toward balancing risk versus convenience are cultural. Historically, the United States was pretty accepting of risky and risk creating activities. These days much less so.

Attitudes toward driving are deeply cultural and affect many aspects of life. I just got back from Dallas. It’s extremely car-oriented, with a vast network of express lanes connecting far-flung suburbs. It also has low housing costs and tons of kids and kid-related activities. These are all related: wrangling one kid on a subway train is doable, much less so three. When you say “driving is bad” you’re touching on myriad aspects of how people have chosen to structure their live, including their reproductive choices.
This seems legitimate to me - I didn't see the wording of the original tweet but their explanation seems a lot more logical than claiming they are relying on phrenology to analyze trustworthiness of a claimant.

That said, I can't imagine ever using a product that asks me to send a video of myself to get service. Maybe I'm just old but it feels dehumanizing, same as job applications that ask for a video.

Also, from their clarification on their website:

> AI is non-deterministic... That’s why we never let AI perform deterministic actions

I don't understand what this means. Do they mean "conclusive"?
An MVP in the gaming space is a complete demonstration of your core gameplay loop. For example, an MVP Pokemon game would have one urban and one area with tall grass, 2-3 Pokemon, 2-3 NPCs with dialogue, 2-3 NPCs with that challenge you to battles, a working battle system with 2-3 moves (no need to to stuff like status effects, buffs, types, resistances, etc), wild random encounters. It's quite more comprehensive than an MVP in a consumer product, but even the description above can be cut down substantially. An RPG MVP for example could be just a player character walking around a city.

All the graphics for the game above can use placeholders, or even solid colors.
Super Meat Boy had done exactly that:

Is not a solution but an observation. Your proposal could be a better solution but until then piracy is the next-best thing for many consumers.
I really hope we get more technical information on how Lumen and Nanite work, and additionally that Epic doesn't patent the techniques in either of them. A patent on either would make me so sad, 20 years is really long in software, absent Epic's amazing work I expect we would have something else like it in like 3 years given what we've seen in things like http://dreams.mediamolecule.com/.
You generally need some sort of state space/optimal controls theory to robustly solve problems like that.
You're not 'taking down' a supplier. You are influencing a cost-benefit analysis between waiting and spending accumulated resources.
What you're looking for is called a "Vertical Slice" in games. The systems you intend to build done as mocks or stubs, used to convey the overall sense a game is meant to convey. You have to build a lot, but it serves the same purpose of checking to see if people actually like a game/its mechanics. Also, in a vertical slice, you can use unpolished game assets or just graybox everything. The point is the "feel", not necessarily any individual look or mechanic.
The violence is getting to me too. God forbid children could see any kind of nudity but killing dozens of people, torturing and beating up people is totally OK.
So you want to go to every individual studio to watch movies and TV and pay separately?
It pleases me that someone named Hoppe picked a rabbit for the demo.
"Math/pow" is actually a function on JVM level. Clojure functions are objects with special callable method.

It is neither efficient nor optimal and could even be unsafe, but the most fun way to optimize your PID controller is on the actual plant with iterative parameter search.

Watch your device whirr and attempt to jump off your table as your algorithm is trying to optimize the P factor! Quickly estimate how good the fit is just by looking at the actuator!

(Disclaimer: think hard about safety before doing this, and make sure your device is strong enough or your motor is weak enough to ensure that no parts will be flying into people)
The documentation is there, but it's a bit lacking/confusing here and there. It's also mostly foundational work, and you still need to cobble things together (either manually or using a plugin).

With that said, you can build things quite nicely with it. For example, I have a custom linter setup, custom loclist/quickfix list formatting and populating from LSP data, and a bunch of other things; all using the foundational work coming in NeoVim 0.5.

If anybody is curious, you can find my NeoVim configuration here: https://gitlab.com/yorickpeterse/dotfiles/-/tree/master/dotf...

p.s. In case anybody wonders "why Lua?", for me this mostly comes down to this: I hate Lua, but I hate Vimscript even more.
A New Class of Games
It's sad for Super Meat Boy that the comments underneath yours keep insisting it's "just a platformer with a red square".
Obviously local approaches can fail to find the global minimum. This is mitigated somewhat though I imagine by the limited 32kB window deflate has.

Would be a fun weekend project...
OTOH, Neovim can work in a remote SSH session, fully featured within a terminal.

I readily accept that the reality is harrowing, but I don't agree that just sharing information about some potentially immoral thing is anything like the pursuit of some state of moral purity. Is it not better that individuals try to make supposed moral decisions where possible, even if they ultimately fall short?

It seems that in order to function one must come to terms with the fact that existence is a moral balancing act and that we all do immoral things. I accept that I own many things that likely caused others suffering. I have had a fascination with the DRC for a number of years and am acutely aware of what goes on there, yet I bought a new phone last year and a laptop the year before that. I accept the hypocrisy. But I am still glad people share information about what happens there. Whilst most of us will ignore it, some person or people better than me may be able to use that information to enact some positive change. At least the conversation can occur.

It is also a harsh reality that the less abstracted the situation, the easier it is for humans to face up to their own sense of morality. For whatever reason having intimate knowledge of a person is more impactful than hearing that an item you purchased was manufactured using some material that was mined by a nameless individual thousands of miles away. Right or wrong, we attach more weight to our judgements of others when a more direct connection can be made. It seems to me unrealistic to ignore that humans operate in this way.

Ultimately the intention of my original comment was not to tell people what to do, nor to judge, nor to demonstrate virtue. I was just sharing information so others could also make an informed decision. I chose not to watch his channel based on my own personal moral compass and my own boundaries of inconvenience.
With text editors, it’s nice to have the UI be entirely made up of text. Makes it easier to think about how one would edit their text editor.

Ah and vim is text editor, not really an ide.
Urgent Mission
And yet, just in the parent thread, just look at the comments of people talking about how they don't like cities because of the "hood-rats" and "wanna-be gangsters".

The word choice should make you suspicious. When is the last time you heard a white person called a "hood-rat"?
Markets price in risk.

The market may have priced in the outcome, such that it was already accounted for.

The market may be pricing in appeals or counteractions which would mitigate the outcome.

Mind that much of "the market does" strongly resembles Just So Stories.
The position you advocate is ridiculous.

If the official channel is moving, prohibiting that channel from telling thier users where the new official channel will be is incredibly user hostile.

I can't believe any project would ever want to stay on Freenode after behavior like this.
I know. GPs solution was to point them to a URL which you control, with a suggestion that FN owners would go as far as to scrape these.

Neovide looks amazing, thanks for linking it!
I like how the Wikipedia article about English Prime also _uses_ English Prime for the most part in its prose - not sure if the contributors or editors did that intentionally.

If you're a minority, it's nice having a relatable positive role model in the media you consume.
Yes, because as of today, right now, every human on earth could decide to not visit the cinema again and instead download the content off of the internet.

The laws take time, need to be tested in courts and are generally not as effective.

If you're constantly under threat of losing your entire income stream and there's nothing you can do to prevent that (because the only way to prevent piracy of digital content is to ban the internet) it's a pretty decent motivator to do the right thing.
Those questions came after people started leaving, and after Lee made changes to freenode policy removing mentions of racism and such.
Do you believe it? I wasn't making a normative point really. I was just describing where laws come from. A parliament (or god king) says reckless endangerment is a crime. Police, prosecutors, judges, and such put meat on this skeleton.

Also, I think the prevalent medieval european tradition was more focused on the "divine right of kings" to rule than the divinity of kings per se.
I find Times New Roman very bad in general. It was designed for one purpose: extreme horizontal compactness for narrow columns in newspapers. That function is almost obsolete at this point, and Times has poor legibility compared to wider fonts.
There are public conversations on reducing obesity all the time. It has been an ongoing conversation for decades now. Unfortunately, though some people have been able to solve the problem on an individual level, we don't have any good ideas on how to solve it at a population level.
I'm using tpope/vim-fugitive and airblade/vim-gitgutter (with standard Vim). Works good. The first one are commands, the second one marks changes on the left.
Work much better for you perhaps. I'm not sure why installing plugins invalidates Vim, when everyone I know that uses VSCode also installs many plugins.

The difference for me, is that I only have what I want.

My requirements for an editor are:

1) Fast <- Most important
2) Autocomplete
3) Fuzzy finding
4) Prettier/eslint or equivalent

If I need to jump on a server, I do not suddenly forget how to use Vim without my .vimrc.
This is great! I spent so much time playing MUDs that I often imagine navigating in CLI as playing a MUD.
Well, there are cases where you are legally responsible, like sex with minors and money laundering, because otherwise noone would ever face punishment

Whether this applies here depends on what you mean by 'responsible' in thos context, is it morally responsible?
Viewing maps of space is perfectly suited to holographic displays. A 2D map is simply not adequate. Having a map of space projected in a hologram or even VR allows you to grasp the position of objects accurately in three dimensions.

On the other hand, you have to rely on moving your head around to get a perspective. 3d is probably better, but these [1,2] animated images allow to see it in static as well. Can’t find better examples quickly, but I hope one can get the idea.

Performance is one thing. I think another major benefit people cite for using Elixir/functional programming in general is the productivity aspect. Of course you may argue that this is easily outweighed by hiring pains as a company grows. Just wanted to mention that from a pure language/developer perspective, I'd much prefer to work with Elixir than something like Java or even Go.
Hey all. I did this interview with console.dev the other day. I am happy to answer any questions!
I don't believe it's ever been the case. On some days (especially early on) the console may sell at a loss, but over the lifetime of the console, the hardware is almost certainly net profitable.
For me the most complicated part when doing manually was the delay, because the water from the intake gates do not reach the headponds inmediatly. What I like is that the tool considers the delay in the tuning.

Really, an x86 laptop should get software updates until the wheels fall off, or something actually needs a CPU extension that's not present.

If you want to be petty, don't add new quality of life features to devices past the sell by date, like say no Android apps on older Chromebooks, even if they've got the hardware virtualization support needed. But when you kill the existing printer service, it's kind of rude to not push the replacement local printer daemon, or leave a half-ass version that doesn't really work either.
Pure speculation. Sure, the misery may come back. But for the US, UK, Israel, Australia, New Zealand and soon a bunch of European countries, the pandemic will soon be over. It is not over elsewhere, and it may come back to the aforementioned places. That doesn't mean one can't rejoyce that the misery is over (whether it's for now or for good).
Find yourself a private torrent tracker and get a seedbox for $10/month.
>Sure, go ahead, think it's over... but what is over is a normal world. We HAD the chance to stop this, but blew it.

At what point did we have a chance to stop this?
I first became interested in Vim for the modular editing, but you can emulate that in other things.

What I stayed for, is how much closer to the "metal" it makes me feel. I started programming in IntelliJ, but using that I always wondered what was going on in the background. If I click on the green "play" icon, what happens? That magic is gone when using something like Vim without plugins. Configuring it to do everything you ever need yourself, however, can be quite a pain. So I gradually added plugins, to delegate the nitty gritty config work to plugin creators, making sure I understand what those plugins are actually doing, in order to not get back to a "I have no clue what my editor does" situation.

> Vscode or other powerful IDEs do the work much better.

The thing about Neovim is that this quote is becoming less true by the minute. Also, nvim can do some things that I don't think are possible in other editors. Have you tried embedding IntelliJ in your browser? :)
To quote a #freenode op "users were being forced to another IRC network because the channel was +m".

So, instead, the various community groups are being forced to stay on freenode?

And the post-structural turn was like 50 years ago.. they have jumped (off) the clue train.
That the US (rich) rapes poor nations not something we can critique because people from the poo nations want to immigrate to the US.

This is such a bad argument I dont even know where to begin with unpacking.

Regimes being bad to their own people (US is also in this category, but not like some poorer countries), is separate from it behaving bad to other nations. Internal affairs vs foreign affairs.
The ## implies "unofficial" channel, so if you have #lego and ##lego then #lego is the "official" channel that is claimed by the official Lego corporation, and ##lego is unofficial people helping out.

The +ifm refers to channel "modes". +i is "invitation only", meaning that you can't join a channel you haven't been invited to. This isn't good for FOSS things, because anyone should be able to join. +f generally is anti-flooding, so you get kicked out of the channel if you send more than X messages per Y period of time, and +m is "moderated" or "mute" meaning that everyone in the channel can see what is being said, but only people that have been approved can actually chat. Again, not really conducive to the spirit of FOSS.
100GB of rocks.

I love the notion of their nanite engine and basically removing concern about LoD (though we've heard that pitch over many generations of engines), and it looks like they're finally improved on what was a terrible, clunky, extremely dated UI.

What I don't love is that it leans into going crazy with assets. Already games are getting simply ridiculous, with new games hitting 300GB, many with an unending stream of enormous patches (looking at CoD Warzone).

Instead of 100GB of rock meshes and textures, isn't there a benefit to procedural on-demand generation for stuff like this?
I'm fine with plans for world domination in the early stage, I just don't really want to help the drive to monopoly later on. Stripe is now big enough that I'm ready to point my meager business at the next upstart.

As far as being better than PayPal, I mainly want something that customers who hate PayPal can use (there are many of them and they are vocal).
There’s traditionally a milestone during production called “vertical slice”, where the developer would present a segment of the game that’s meant to represent the final product. They’re not necessarily considered best practice, since a developer might have to pantomime that the game’s in a finished state when they still have a lot of work to do. Tim Rogers describes it akin to making a cake one slice at a time.

Mark Cerny, a developer for a lot of Sega and Sony titles, always suggests an experimental pre-production phase and a structured production. The former is meant to figure out the requirements for the latter and clarify the nature of the product.
