> Yeah, there's absolutely no reason game loading should be serial. It's straightforward for a game to figure out everything it needs and grab dozens in parallel.

And that would likely tank the performance if the game is running from an HDD.

I suspect you could design the storage layer of your game/app/whatever to take into account the performance characteristics of the underlying drive, and adjust your I/O pattern to be more parallel or more serial accordingly.

I also suspect that would not be easy/economical to do within the time/budget constraints of most projects.

> so many client/server implementations don't implement the datagram extension properly

I'm genuinely interested in what aspects you think are (or were) not implemented properly.

I wrote most of the implementation of quiche's datagram extension and, well, if there's something that can be improved, I'm all for it.

(aside: I think the standard should've considered an option for datagrams to opt-out of congestion control, given that most applications which want to take control over datagram sending probably also want to take control of available bandwidth and control congestion differently - e.g. by dropping encoding bitrate instead of queuing - but it is what it is).

It didn't go from meaning cheerful to then suddenly homosexual. It meant promiscuous and immoral in between.

The victorian dictionary was implying it is a dress worn by a hooker.

from your own source (wikipedia/gay):

> A gay woman was a prostitute, a gay man a womanizer, and a gay house a brothel.[2] An example is a letter read to a London court in 1885 during the prosecution of brothel madam and procuress Mary Jeffries that had been written by a girl while slaved to a French brothel:

> "I write to tell you it is a gay house...Some captains came in the other night, and the mistress wanted us to sleep with them."[13]
Tesla is exactly what I mean -- they wouldn't pass most checklists. Elon has plenty of weaknesses but he has proven to be able to build good companies again and again.

I wouldn't say it's pattern matching. That works great for stocks and established companies, but with "moonshots", you're looking for things that have not existed before. Everyone looks for the next Zuckerberg, Bezos, Gates, Musk, whatever, but the pattern is there is little pattern.
This makes me think of the idea of losing one's phone or laptop and not worrying because the hardware was super cheap, and your data is completely safe and transferable.

But for the idea to transfer over to personal belongings, there would have to be some sort of scanning of each personal item in one's home, to the point that AI and 3D printing could print off a perfect copy.

Let's imagine a good friend dies and all you have to remember him is a handmade gift he gave you on your last b-day. Your home catches fire but you can print off a perfect copy. Do you care? And how much do you care?

>>And efficiency (which you seem to equate with 'return on capital') isn't the only positive value, nor is efficiency necessarily a good proxy for all other positive values

Efficiency is the only thing that matters. Take two countries: Pragmatia and Utopitia. Pragmatia solely pursues efficiency, in line with its pragmatic ideals, while Utopitia pursues social democratic ideals, in line with its utopianist ideals.

Pragmatia consequently sees GDP grow at an annual rate of 5% a year, while Utopitia sees its GDP grow at 2.5% a year.

From a starting point as equals in 2022, Pragmatia acquires a 3 to 1 per capita GDP advantage over Utopitia within 50 years, providing Pragmatia's residents with a vastly better standard of living than Utopitia's, irrespective of how large of a percentage of the latter's GDP was expropriated by the state for social democratic redistribution.

This was basically the story of Hong Kong vs Mainland China from the 1950s to 1980:

>>In any case, while a theoretical perfect market without any asymmetries might be most efficient, in practice we have markets that are imperfect in many ways that induce market failures, and regulation is needed to compensate and restore market efficiency.

Imperfect markets don't imply that wages are below what they would be under free market conditions, or that a crude intervention, like granting labor unions with collective bargaining monopolies over companies' hiring practices will counter-act the wage-inhibiting effect of some market inefficiency, let alone do so without introducing far larger and more significant inefficiencies of its own.

Basic supply and demand theory tells us that the employment standard mandates, like minimum wage controls, advocated by unions, to the extent that they have an effect, harm economic efficiency. In the absence of the ability to conduct controlled experiments to prove definitively its effect one way or another, we should opt to trust basic economy theory.

>>The market for labor is no exception, as the asymmetries in labor relations are huge.

Asymmetries are irrelevant. Apple is worth over $2 trillion, yet cannot force me to buy a Macbook Pro. It can only induce me to do so by offering more value than competitors.

If we let Apple and its social justice PR firms convince us that we need the government to control the consumer electronic market, then Apple could, through regulatory barriers, keep competitors out, or through taxation, force us to indirectly buy its products, by funding the state that does.
The green stuff, as usual, is just window dressing. The real story is here:

We need to decommoditize existing property and reassert that housing is a human right, not design novel hovels to cram hard working people into. Any so-called environmental movement that doesn't confront private property ownership is crippled by design.

WHATWG (and W3C) isn't exactly a shining example of succesfull standardization when measured in terms of broad community involvement given their pay-as-you-go statue, or measured by adoption considering there are only about two browser code bases left. It has been "whatever Chrome does" for years now, not to speak of being a monolithic spec the size of the NYC phone book and a process having never achieved any final published version after 17 years of work.
To be Devil's advocate. OP was talking about a VGA camera API only and what an example of a battle-tested camera library already does.

I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting the thing should run android.

But if you are writing something yourself then looking at what existing libraries already (and more importantly their test suites!) do is a good idea.

Maybe they did and maybe they didn't in this case, hard to know with the data available.
It does sound like something you’d expect unit and integration tests to catch, but I am not sure that necessitates the use of off the shelf libraries?

In the context of a space helicopter, I’d guess that deep understanding and ownership of each software component is super important when you’re likely to have to support a debug it from millions of miles away. At this scale, and in this context, doesn’t “rolling your own” critical components, in some cases, make sense?

I am currently planning a move from Austria back the US and I have decided to sell or dispose of the vast majority of my belongings.

I did less of this moving from the US to Austria and when it came time to move this time I realised that I had a significant pile of boxes which, while opened, went unused in the twenty years I've lived here. I also have an extensive library which, while I read the books when I bought them, I have not returned to the vast majority of them.

I'm still sort of conflicted about this because it's provoking a lot of complex emotions that I was not particularly prepared for.

> A comment section on a blog presents itself as a public space. Does this mean nobody can moderate comments anymore?

A blog comment section usually presents itself as a curated space, and the flip side is that blog owners take some level of responsibility for the contents of their comments.

You can be a private club, or you can be a public space. But you can't be both. We make that kind of distinction in the real world too.

Then ban those sites from the US, like India does. If you can't support US-style freedom of speech then you shouldn't get access to the US market.

>>Why should I pay for other people's kids if I'm never going to have kids?

Hmmmm. I think the issue here is that you're looking at it from an individualism perspective. Why should I be paying for something that I'm not using. You're obviously completely entitled to such an opinion, and I'm not going to change it with one HN comment, but imho that's the wrong way to build a society. Society should be paying to support new births, because those people will eventually grow up to be the workforce of your country, they will be paying taxes, and supporting you in retirement. The individualist approach that I see so often in Americans just seems so short sighted to me - why should I pay for any of this. I don't care about any of those things, if people want workforce/taxes/retirement they should just work for it goddamit!

Like, ok. I just want to point out that societies, including American one, pay for things just because they want to have them, regardless of whether it benefits every individual or not. You pay for roads just so they are there and so that every American can use them, regardless of whether you personally are going to drive every mile of every road ever built. Most Americans want to pay for agencies that make sure you have clean water or air, even though personally you probably aren't going to live in Flint or next to a coal power station. And obviously all Americans pay for the biggest military in the world just to keep a certain level of control and place in the world, even though many people could say well, how does paying for the 20th aircraft carrier benefit ME?

Paying for people to give birth so that they don't end up in medical debt straight away when starting a family has benefits to the society. But you will never see it if you just try to see what's in it for you personally.

This is also my experience, crappy Berlin startups that pay poorly and expect you to jump through hoops and work long hours. I switched to contracting and haven't had to do any of these silly tests, I usually discuss the project and my past projects and that's enough. A few times I've been asked to do a take home challenge which I don't mind and actually quite enjoy. Separated from the interview process I find some of the leetcode type challenges kind of fun, like doing a puzzle but they have been of very little practice use to me in my work.
Yeah, that's why I wrote "no matter what anyone tells you". I am a biologist, and I can say for sure that that's a complete red herring. Of course it could have been added in the lab, but that's literally true for any genetic sequence. It doesn't mean anything. The logic here is 1) new coronavirus is new 2) ??? 3) therefore, it's probably engineered.

We change reality all the time to adapt to new technology - this is why we interacted with the first computers via punch cards rather than microphones and cameras. Were we coddling computers? Kind of, but solutions have to be a combination of what is possible.

I guess there is a sliding scale with self driving cars:

* Low technology, high societal or infrastructure change (for example we could build a totally different road network and dig cables into it, not practical but possible with technology 20 years ago!)
* Medium technology, medium societal or infrastructure change.
* High technology, low societal or infrastructure change.
* Very high technology, no/little societal or infrastructure change (eg AGI that can interpret hand signals).

All of these are possible versions of self driving cars - there is no “one” solution. Having AGI and going for the last bullet point isn’t the only option.

As an example, when the 1950s imagined robotic vacuum cleaning they pictured a standing robot that would use your existing appliances - so they might have said “we need to work out how to pick up and use a household vaccum cleaner in order to make a useful household robot, which requires AGI!”. We now know that a better solution is the roomba, and AGI isn’t required.

I personally think we will inevitably need some level of societal change, legislation change and possibly even infrastructure change to make self driving cars happen sooner.
Superspreading drives the Covid pandemic – and could help to tame it
I mean, to some respect, "dynamic typing" is "type the data" and "static typing" is "type the variable".

In both cases, there's the possibility for doing type propagation. But, if you somehow manage to pass in two floats to an addition that a C compiler thinks is an integer addition, you WILL have a bad day. Whereas in Common Lisp, the actual passed-in values are typed (for floats, usually boxed, for integers, if they're fixnums, usually tagged and having a few bits less than you would expect).
The goal is clear lines of responsibility. If Facebook is responsible for every post, that's ok. If every individual is responsible for their posts, that's also ok. It's when it's blurry that there's a problem.

The full sentence describing the editing in the article starts with “antiquated and offensive language”, which one might interpret to mean the removed words were both of those things, or one could also interpret that antiquated language and offensive language were removed as two possibly overlapping sets.

The point of the dictionary is to use “contemporary English” since it’s used as a reference in schools. I’ve definitely seen “fop” before but in high school I wouldn’t say it’s something that I could remember without looking it up in a second dictionary, so it’s not that useful of a defining term. All this offensive or nonoffensive is mountains out of a molehill.
I take your point, but in 1889 academic English though? The primary meaning was still "happy".

Ultimately though, when translating Ancient Greek to modern English, what the 1889 meaning and moralising was is neither here nor there. It is nothing but confusing, and removing it is not "prudish".

What stopped me though is the fact that there's asbestos and that the conditions of the capsule were bad enough that I could end up inhaling some asbestos. How much of a concern is that really?

So for anyone with the medical knowledge, was that a valid concern of mine or just a paranoia that prevented me from experiencing a building I've always been fascinated with before its disappearance?
