The delays, interpolation, etc. are a big problem in games like FPS, but I fail to see why they'd be a large problem in an MMO.

Why can't you just send the new position of other visible players, and then client-side play those characters' walking animations to the new position from their current (client-side) position? Unless the accuracy of another player's targeting is relevant why is there a problem with their position always being delayed by, say, a second?

LeetCode didn't exist back when I was in high school doing programming contests. The team of 3 people I was part of did a few rather unusual things in part because of my exposure to Linux at the time, namely making use of tools like yacc and bision to quickly come up quickly with concise solutions to a number of the string parsing problems we encountered in the contests.

I've never felt the need to explicitly study for interviews. Given the wide range of programming tasks I've encountered over the years, along with countless hours spent reading programming books and magazine articles, I know enough to be dangerous, and where to look when I'm not sure. Simply being aware that there is somewhere to to look is half the battle.
There's a paradox if the message replies to the first message, because the reply arrives before the original message is sent.
I’m somewhat surprised that acknowledging outside emails is a thing. I know unsolicited ideas/content/etc. is commonly rejected without review in other fields. Is this successful beyond identifying technical bugs?

Agree on all counts. It's very hard to put time horizons on anything. But I started wearing a Series 3 watch (3 generations old now) when I started a project my client in 2019 insisted I wear it as I was writing code that utilized HealthKit data from the Apple Watch. Check my past posts I'm NOT an Apple fan boi at all. But compared to the competition, there's nothing coming close to the integration and the UX out there. My partner has a Rage 4 and it's just garbage in comparison. It misses and drops, the display is like from the dollar store. HealthKit is absolutely bulletproof. Every single decision in that API is gold. Every time I think something might be poorly done it's my misunderstanding or they made the best choice you can make. Deep respect.
I've had this sort of experience with many systems, which is why I decided to use .txt files as the base data store for my current project.

It is indexed in a relational database, and it is presented in a Web 1.1 frontend, but it all flows back through the text files, and they are always available for download, optionally in zip or tar.gz archives.
As gp is not speaking to themself, it's an interaction.

So maybe gp is expecting them to inter-act, ie make some reciprocal action of some kind back. Silence is an action, that in my culture usually means 'dont want to tell you my real response'.

What if you have the vaccine, and then get exposed to the actual virus? Would it be the best of all worlds as the existing antibodies would prevent a full on infection but your body would also learn more generalized attacks against the virus? Or would it not be enough exposure to warrant the latter?
They'd better spend this money to refund the customers for missed flight/hotel reservations in 2020/2021.
There are a few issues to be aware of when using
Repo.preload. First, it's hitting the database
to fetch the association data.

FWIW, using Query.preload with will produce the same two queries when used with plain atoms like "Repo.all from p in Post, preload: [:comments]"
Neither the vaccine nor a previous infection will prevent you from catching the virus again, but it will prevent you from falling ill which is all that really matters.
Not an expert, but I feel like the answer is not much. ECC RAM is not, to my knowledge, considerably more expensive to produce - the reason it costs more is because it only works with specific devices, so it's more of a market cost.

ECC RAM is pretty effective as-is against rowhammer, and imo you could very likely tweak ECC's approach to get even further.

The 'worst case' solution wouldn't be more than 2x, right? Since you'd just have to keep a clone of RAM, but obviously shuffled so that the same errors wouldn't occur in the same places. So 2x seems like the sort of absurd upper bound, but I feel like we could do a lot better.
I'll admit to not understanding why, but "consensus" seems to be that the vaccine confers greater resistance to variants than does natural immunity- perhaps the natural immunity is over-fit to the one virus, whereas the spike is a necessary component to the whole family?

That said, I've also seen oft repeated that what you get is immunity*, aka resistance to the worst symptoms. Mild infections are still to be expected as possible, and Covid 19 will join the ranks of common-cold causing organisms.
That's the reality that Tesla owners already live in. Last week I visited my family for my grandmother's birthday. Of the 700+ miles traveled, over 98% were on autopilot. I entered my destination and hit "Navigate on Autopilot". It drove from onramp to exit, obeying speed limits and switching lanes to get around slow vehicles. It even handled the interchanges.
A couple of years ago I forced myself to sleep with my mouth shut. It helped undry me mouth. But, through my own pressure I started to be a heavy teeth grinder in the night. That’s definitely worse for me.
Some among the cheaper boards are much less capable than the RPi4; 256 or 512 MB RAM can indeed run a tiny Linux desktop, but for some uses it would struggle for lack of resources. A single user system with no layers of code devoted to security (which would be pointless in non connected devices) would probably be a lot faster on constricted hardware. The goal of such a system shouldn't be to replace BSD or Linux, which do what they do extremely well, but to offer a smaller tinier system for those contexts when the basic functionalities of an OS are needed without the inevitable bloat that comes with security and support for beefier hardware and/or more complex software. "It couldn't run LibreOffice? Who cares! If I wanted to use it for that I'd use Linux instead."

I mean, If I want to build say a fully autonomous portable software defined radio that boots in a handful of seconds straight to its GUI on a very small board, I'd have a hard time doing that with a full Linux distro, no matter how optimized it is, since it still is a full UNIX-like OS with all the bells and whistles that would make it runnable on a supercomputer.
I think that those small OSes could potentially fill a gap between smaller things such as no OS at all or smaller ones such as FreeRTOS and complete Linux systems, but to really appreciate them they should also run on hardware such as ARM, RISC-V, etc.
Well, so many life-saving physicians and other health care workers undergo periods of extreme work hours.

If they wouldn't have been capable of accomplishing so much over as short a calendar period, I would estimate higher fatalities, especially during the pandemic but also over all the other decades.

I expect there is an equation for this tragic number.

It doesn't matter how many more life-savers you deploy, simply because there will never be enough of them, things will always be better if one or more of them put in a little extra time.

Should also be equations for the positive-outcome/number-of-hours.
Lol, whats the point? Don't ask how people are?

Not sure what 'just barely literate' means. The literacy rate in the the US is greater than 96% and is comparable to other first world countries.

None of the statistical numbers above are surprising and, call me cynical but, I don't think there will be much change coming. I'd love to be proven wrong.
I believe Tesla will sell the initial batch of trucks, with crazy futuristic styling, while improving their production scale at a high premium to the early adopters. Once they have the factories/scale setup, they will just re-skin them with a non-futuristic/conventional body and be able to mass produce (at Tesla levels) the trucks to the wider audience that F-150 owners would buy. And at a more reasonable price as well since they early adopters would have already paid the ramp-up cost. This is similar to the first launch of the high performance Tesla series and makes sense overall.
I personally would love to have an electric F-150 for the reliability that they could have with the years of experience Ford has had in the market. Job site users would be all over this.
> And the side that decides that being banned from social media or being made fun of means the tree of liberty needs to be watered with the blood of progressive techies is the one that needs to practice empathy.

I think you are downplaying what is going on. Did you forget social media banned POTUS? Millions of people voted for this person, and that banned caused extreme division in the U.S. (I think that was the plan, but that's a different matter). If he was so dangerous and a dictator, why did he step down!? One side is alienating millions of people, calling them names, and shutting them down. What do you think will happen? They will just take it with a smile? (please answer this, it's an important question, how should they take it?)

> fascists thrive on projecting a aura of menace and intimidation and righteousness and cultivating a sense of respect and authority that justifies their violent ideology

What is the end goal? The rhetoric you're using isn't going to end with both sides drinking tea and chatting together. Is that what people want? Let's keep insulting them and provoking them until they break and then AHA! there it is! They are being violent! Got 'em!

If we add fuel to the fire, we are provoking, and we are no better than the violent people. If you don't acknowledge these are humans with genuine concerns, then you are dehumanizing them, and again, we shouldn't be surprised where that goes.
> I’ll just add this though, I promise you 2 girls would never have gotten this funded lol.

You mean "girls", like Elizabeth Holmes, founder of the infamous Theranos [1]?

Incidentally, she fits the mold I describe above: highly privileged childhood (Dad an Enron VP, highly politically connected), to Stanford, to a well-funded scam start-up with a board packed with our nation's elite (eg, former Sec of State George Shultz).

And she's just the best known - there are other examples of scammy or poorly-conceived companies founded by (actually) privileged women.

Yeah, most of these wealthy, privileged founders of scammy companies are white men, but some are women, and some are not white. Crucially, even if most of them are white men, they only represent a very small fraction of us.

And the 1% are doing a tremendous job of playing us off each other for reasons of gender, race, etc, while they consolidate their power and privilege.

The service people are supposed to mean it (if they're big enough suckers), but you can be more two-faced as you climb the ladder. I'd describe American business culture as "exploitative backstabbing bloodlust with a smile and an optimistic mission statement".
Many hot water circulating heating systems use bang-bang for the call-for-heat actuation but vary the circulating water temperatures in response to the outdoor temperature (via an “outdoor reset” input to the system).

Properly set, this dampens the swings of temperature in the rooms as the heat gain is more closely matched to the heat loss, increasing comfort and economy of the system.

Still loving my Pebble, but sad as I've watched the battery life dwindle to ~4 days. I even put my phone in airplane mode overnight, which has extended it a bit. Does anyone else have any tips on how to make a Time Steel last?

(I considered putting the Pebble into airplane mode, but it seems to be less reliable reconnecting to the phone if I do this.)

What do Pebble-lovers get if they don't want an Apple Watch? I was hopeful about the Fossil hybrid smartwatches, but the UI just wasn't there (two clicks to see more of a message?). Garmin is on my list, but they have so many models I can't tell which ones are best, or where they are in their upgrade cycles.
The only real complaint I have is 8GB is not enough storage to update watch os. But there is praise in the complaint: you can update it at all.
It is a great argument that non-immunocompromised people should get vaccinated. If non-immunocompromised people are vaccinated, the probability that immunocompromised people get infected gets smaller, thus causing less variants.
In Eve online the largest battle had ~6500 players concurrently. Eve has a system called time dilation to help handle large fights. During a normal battle, every player's actions are processed by the server, and the state is sent to all players at least once every second. When there are too many players and actions for this to happen, the servers overall tick rate slows down. So for this fight time dilation was down to 10s per tick, everything takes 10s as long, a normal weapon that fires every 15 seconds only fires once every 150s. Even with this 10x slowdown of actions, and a game like eve where relatively few actions are taken by each player there is a huge amount of lag, the server and clients don't always agree on the game state, weapons not activating, commands not being recognized.

The underling issue here is the information needed scales exponentially with the number of players interacting. Supporting 200 players means 400x as much information as 10 players instead of 20x as much. So specifically for WOW, there are problems with more than 80 or so players at once in PVP. If you do things like large scale open world PVP getting desyncs, disconnects, heavy lag is common. Also for major cities and other high density areas most servers have 4 or more "phases" where you can be in the same place in the game and not see other people not part of your phase. So you could have 50 people in a guild all together, 200 people in local, but most of the other 150 in another phase.

If you've ever played sitting next to someone else, you'll notice that not every animation is shared, just position and future position. If you hold the mouse button and spin in a circle, it won't show on the other person's screen. And the spells aren't governed by the animations position, but rather calculated and animated as a "hit" or "miss" completely independently on the other person's computer.
I leave the call notification on, since I feel like calls are time sensitive.
"As with any other disease, it is reasonable (and expected) for everyone who had covid to not get vaccinated, given that the immunity you get from having the disease is always better than what you'd get from a vaccine."

This is actively untrue.

See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4813740/ vs. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29029053/ for a non-COVID example.
> Your solution is to have them stop paying for the house (lose it to the bank) and move into government housing. So, in exchange for a couple months of help with their bills, they get to discard their ownership in their house.

Yes, precisely. Part of the problem with skyrocketing housing prices is that the market is no longer rational. Bailing out home owners further entrenches the class divide between land owners and non land owners and limits upward mobility of those in lower classes.
I thought it was sort of the other way around; that your immune system is keying into some fairly random and subjective set of dna features on the specific viral strain you've been infected with.

But that with the mRNA vaccines, your body is being explicitly taught about the spike protein, nothing more, nothing less. So provided any future infection employs a spike protein, you have immunity. The question is, what are the odds that sars-cov2 would evolve an entirely different mechanism from the spike protein? My impression was that's pretty unlikely, and why there's so much confidence the mRNA vaccines are robust against variants.

I know absolutely nothing about this subject and frankly am unqualified to even participate in this discussion. I'm just hoping someone who is can clarify/correct my understanding if it's totally misinformed.
I'll buy this for firewalls in end-user routers, but if you put the firewall on the personal device it's gonna get disabled the first time it supposedly interferes with a videogame or a movie stream or whatever. :(

That is a great quote, though I have a minor quibble about alcohol being necessary as some of the Russians I befriended were former alcoholics and sober for years. Though others drank beer at dawn.

I found I made deep friendships more easily after speaking even a bit of Russian. If you can say "My name is X" and "awesome" and a couple other small phrases it helps. That said, it wasn't until I had put in around 1000 hours of practice until things really opened up. It's such a hard language and I'm below average in my ability to learn human languages. But I did make steady progress with Verbling and I even met up with my tutor when I was in Ukraine.

One of the things that learning Russian clears up is why they sound so angry to English ears. The language doesn't use tone for emphasis as much as English. It uses word order because the grammar is more flexible so they're able to put the important stuff at the end. Plus the sounds are more constant based. So once your ears get used to the language, you don't really hear Russian (or a Russian accented English) the same anymore. It sounds more human. Plus you learn so many words, you end up finding some of the endearing / superior to the English translation.
If the article isn't implying Apple is ahead in AR wearables I guess I don't understand why AR wearables are brought up at all.
... which hinges completely on the virus not evolving at all, which is outside of the realm of reality.

Evolving a new spike is extremely disadvantageous for the virus.

Widespread natural immunity is not enough to prevent a repeat of this this or next year, especially when we have evolutionary hotbeds in countries which could not (or would not) do anything to prevent the spread.
2FA is more than adequate on its own in a lot of cases: Attackers tend to go for low lying fruit.

Also, how worried you need to be depends on what you use the account for... People go off the deep end about securing every single account like it's Fort Knox, but you need to consider what is at risk if a given account is compromised, and what damage could be done with it.

iPhone is the only apple device I own but it crashes it can't go too far back into my messaging history for any one individual too far.

Usually once I scroll to ~5 months back with people I text regularly the iMessage app just straight crashes ... it's a little absurd. To top it off, every couple pages it gives a loading icon and introduces severe latency for whatever reason. There don't seem to be any apps in their App Store that let you search and lookup old messages either.

This is actively biting me right now. Are there any solutions for accessing the iMessage/chat.db database on my phone or via iCloud from a Linux system (Ubuntu in my case)?
Seconded, I wrote about an issue I encountered on facetime and I was sent many iPhones to test how widespread the problem was.

Or they know exactly who…and it’s them. What better way to convey to your adversaries—now we have something that can fool our own well trained military.

Why else would you all of a sudden about face a denial policy that has been around for 70+ years if not for disinformation purposes?
Not a lawyer, but my guess would be that whether it is legal or not depends on what (if anything) you intend to do with the information. This is based mainly on perusal of this page summarizing a bunch of state identity theft statutes: https://www.ncsl.org/research/financial-services-and-commerc...

Of the ones with details listed it seems most of them require intent to defraud or something similar in addition to possession of personal information. I think paying for the info could also be problematic, there are a few trafficking laws in that list.

In a similar vein, possession of the info with the intent to use it to hack into something would probably run afoul of the CFAA or other anti-hacking laws.

If you collect that info with the intent to submit it to haveibeenpwned I think you would probably be fine.

If you collect that info just for fun, but don't do anything with it, I suspect that's legal, but probably not well-advised, as I suspect cops/prosecutors/jurors would have trouble believing someone did that for fun, and would interpret it as evidence that you were up to something nefarious.

I don't think the stolen property angle is an issue. Digital information can't really be stolen: usually the problem is you've committed a copyright violation. In the US at least I doubt user names and passwords would qualify for copyright protection. (Generally, collections of facts do not qualify.)

That wasn't really much of a quantitative argument. Tons of meaningful research has been done in clouds. Granted, it was often by the owner of the cloud, but there it is. So is there anything we can compare? Does it train resnet-50 in a split second or what?
I imagine the FBI strongly considers scale and intent. Troy Hunt is very obviously not reselling accounts, for example.

Though keep in mind that the FBI can go after whoever they want, sometimes without reason at all.
