I think that it depend what game you will want to make. Often, the older systems will work just as well (or sometimes maybe even better); sometimes the newer ones do, and not always the same one. Not all games will need camera angles, although if you are doing 3D graphics then camera angles and lighting will probably be important. Not all games use multiplayer either. Although it is true that they are probably more common in game development. Some game engines are specific for some kind of game, and other are more general. Sometimes using a plain programming language is good, and sometimes the use of a VM code is good.

For example, if you write a game for NES/Famicom, then it is likely to run on many computers with many operating systems, likely supports user-definable key bindings, volume controls, possibly multiplayer by internet, you do not need to implement any of these things by yourself since it is already there. And, it will work on NES/Famicom, too. There is also less likely the user will have to worry about malware. (One problem with this is that the colours might be somewhat different in different emulators. I had once proposed a format to include the file with the RGB colours (which can safely be ignored, but if used might result in better colours) with the game, but doing so doesn't seem to be so common now.)
> If it was revenue-neutral, sure.

No, revenue-neutrality doesn't weigh in favor of being eligible for reconciliation; a measure must principally address either spending, revenue, or the debt limit to be eligible for that process.
You may think you are pointing out a grammar error, but I stand by the sentence as written. Nothing has changed since then.

It was voted. It is the law of the land.
I see. We’re talking about different levels of abstraction.

There are two approaches there. One is to project abstract UI onto platform controls (React Native), the other is to use “drawing” (Flutter). Both have their pros and cons.

The main drawback of abstracting over controls is that each platform works very differently and the abstraction quickly starts leaking. Also some of the targets don’t have any controls like the terminal. All you can do in a terminal is draw text in rows and columns.

That is why most (not all) cross platform frameworks abstract on the drawing level. Gtk, Qt, Flutter, Druid, Dear ImGui and many more.
Extremely short analysis. After 2008 Greece's GDP crashed by 50% over several years and stabilized 2016. It's pretty obvious that when you have a shrinking economy that your real debt burden is going up over time. 100% debt to GDP will turn into 200% and it's not because of irresponsible spending or low taxation.

If anything you have to lend more money to Greece and only give the most productive companies/sections of the government access to loans, if Greece's GDP was 355 billion € in the past it can recover up to that old level.
Domain Modeling Made Functional with Scott Wlaschin
Yeah that's the right English term, thanks. I now have a modern, new one and it works much better than I remember them from my childhood. But you're right about the downsides, I occasionally have to use the electric mower when the grass becomes too tall.
Countries are supposed to in the end benefit people who live in those countries. There are many things that countries do that private companies can't, like jail people without their consent, for example.
> San Francisco is an interesting case cause they used to have a land tax

Property taxes on land aren't unique to San Francisco. It's basically standard practice in most cities to have one tax for property and one tax for improvements.

> Contrast that with New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Property owners had their buildings destroyed, so taxes went to zero (taxes based on the property value, not the land value)

New Orleans has separate property taxes on land and structures, so property taxes did not go to $0 after Katrina.

Overall property tax rates went up because income from taxes on structures went down, but unimproved lots still get a tax bill.
I guess that’s fair, it’s used both ways in different contexts. I most associate the word with its use in universities, in which “x program/department has been defunded” means that it’s gone. There’s only one definition of “open borders,” though.
Censorship. World leaders won't be gagged by Jack Dorsey. India is next.
Yeah this is exactly the kind of thing I mean. I worked at the company that makes CMake and I'd go to coworkers with questions like that...I forget exactly what I asked but it was something involving RVO and copy elision of a lambda/ anonymous function, and they had to ask around until we found a greybeard who knew the correct application of && and some other stuff. This wasn't even some heavy deep stuff, it was like a pubsub callback in ROS.

I had some really mission critical camera driver stuff I was working on and just never felt secure that there was a massive bug lurking, despite code review, Valgrind and testing. But on that same project, I had enough confidence to write a small daemon in Rust, with like...maybe 60h total experience in the language. Huge peace of mind knowing the code does what I expect it to do.
It comes down to physics. Cameras and their lenses come in all shapes and sizes, most of webcams don't expose their geometry in a programmatically accessible way, even if they did, most of them don's have means of determining distance to the subject.

We can detect faces, eyes and pupils, but with no reference points we have no idea how big or far apart they are.
Your second point sounds like it's already covered. Right click, inspect element, change the styles to whatever you want.
> I’m sorry, but, we’d be foolish to discard anything and everything that we can’t quantify due to complexity or a lack of understanding of what specifically to consider.

That's not the criticism here. The criticism is just getting a lot of stuff wrong including stuff he wouldn't have gotten wrong if he just did some basic fact checking.

Just look at this mishmash of uninformed summaries, howlers, and bold claims that are disconnected from an awareness of how the systems he describes actually work:

"Apple Computers is a famous example: it was founded by (mostly Republican) computer engineers who broke from IBM in Silicon Valley in the 1980s, forming little democratic circles of twenty to forty people with their laptops in each other’s garages"

"When Saddam Hussein made the bold move of singlehandedly switching from the dollar to the euro in 2000, followed by Iran in 2001, this was quickly followed by American bombing and military occupation. How much Hussein’s decision to buck the dollar really weighed into the U.S. decision to depose him is impossible to know, but no country in a position to make a similar switch can ignore the possibility. The result, among policymakers particularly in the global South, is widespread terror."

Now if Graeber had written a book on the joys of fishing, we wouldn't expect a large amount of numerical fact checks. But for a book on debt -- which is really a book on financial systems across history, we do expect that the conclusions be consistent with the data as we know it. Graeber never made those consistency checks, so much of his observations can be ruled out and they really reveal an incredible state of being out-of-touch.

That said, he does provide rich examples and historical footnotes so I would recommend that people read his book. I just wouldn't recommend that people believe him when he draws certain conclusions and that people understand they are reading a polemical rather than an academic work.

The Soul of Black Conservatism
Personally I would have a hard time suspending disbelief if a story set in 2200 didn't have super-human AI and all diseases cured. Similarly there should be no pollution or over-population, at least in first world countries.

For humanity to avoid achieving those things, there would have to be some significant barriers to progress that we don't know about yet, or a fairly disastrous collapse, which would limit the possible stories that could be told.

I suppose that setting a story thousands of years into the future allows there to have been multiple collapses and renaissances, but I'm not convinced that such a path is as likely as a permanent collapse or reaching some sort of uninterruptible paradise state.
I feel like generics without type erasure actually solves the problem that inheritance was supposed to solve without creating a swamp of dependencies.
That's not true, you can set a sync passphrase which e2e encrypts your synced content (all of it, not just passwords).
The blog suggest using Chrome's password manager. I used MacOS KeyChain as my primary store and Chrome's password manager for my secondary store for years and finally gave up because KeyChain didn't work with Chrome or sync with anything (unless maybe I used iCloud) and Chrome only synced with and worked with Chrome and too often it didn't save passwords properly. For all other browsers, apps, or uses, Chrome password manager is useless.

Fortunately I could export Chrome to CSV and use some third party applescript to export KeyChain and import into KeePassXC. It's not perfect but it's better than the built in stuff.

Maybe W3C could standardize a protocol for password managers so we don't have this insane vendor lock in.
I'm sorry if I sounded like I was trying to invalidate your diagnosis.

Scott’s talks on DDD and functional programming are great. He also published an excellent book, “Domain Modeling Made Functional.”

Yeah, but rightly so those are "escape hatches" because you can leak memory with Rc/shared_ptr.

With C++ unless you have someone experienced on a team there's a host of "unknown unknowns" that feel like the team is making progress but then having to pay the cost when it blows up and usually when schedule pressure is near the highest point. Same for the build systems, retrofitting LTO is not a fun experience.

Rust in contrast calls out many of those things upfront, I've found those guardrails prompt conversations in tradeoffs and conscious choices(to say use Rc/RefCell) you'd be making anyway in C++.
I like the idea of being able to save the blurred areas, having standard sets of these for popular sites (e.g., GitHub API keys, Twilio, AWS, etc.) would be worth paying for.

As others have mentioned, I'd like more secure ways to blur the area, e.g., completely blanking it out, or filling with random text and then blurring.

Edit: Would also be useful to replace the text instead of blurring, that way viewers could see realistic information without revealing real keys, etc.

> You can just move all revenue back into headquarters' coffers

So it's actually moving money! And you need a reason to move money from one company (in the US) to another (in Canada). Call it sale, call it IP licensing...
That depends on how much money it takes to get a bit more of the market and how much money you expect to get from them. Ideally you'd reach the point where those two derivatives are equal, then stop.
Its just not your computer anymore - in countless ways. Processing user input should come before anything else, second is displaying what the user wants. To state the obvious: You should be able to click around in a menu (that doesn't jump all over the place) and switch between content before it is fully loaded. Almost nothing does this. You have to use things like <a> and <form>, features from back when it was your computer.
I didn't bother to comment on this, but these are my thoughts as well. From briefly looking through the source code, it seems like the only way this library cares about the capabilities of the terminal is just checking if '256' or 'truecolor' is in TERM variable, and that's it.
If the wealth tax is uniform it doesn't matter if they put it in crappy charities or their kids names or whatever - the crappy charity or kids will still need to pay the tax.

I see bigger problems with evasion and valuation. Evasion can be solved by coupling the wealth tax with enforcement of property rights. You own an offshore bank account, somebody steals from that offshore bank account, you show up in court to prosecute them, and the government says "I'm sorry, we don't have any record of your ownership of this bank account, and you have never paid taxes on it." Oops. Also makes logical sense, as the function of the state is to enforce property rights.

Valuation is tricky, as a lot of wealth-producing assets are illiquid and it's hard to pin a specific value on them in the absence of a specific transaction. The way LVTs handle this is through statistics: you know what comparable land sells, you know what improvements are on it, you can run a regression against all the features that impact valuation and subtract them out to get a reasonable estimate of the value of the land itself. Something similar could work for income-producing assets: you know all the cash flows from the asset (because you've been declaring your income, right?), you can do a discounted cash flow analysis that smooths them out and arrives at an estimate of the NPV of the asset under current cash flow & interest rate conditions.
The point, of course, is not cracking DES, but instead understanding cipher design, which has not ended with AES.

That's misleading, because what are called “treaties” in international law include more than what are called “treaties” in US domestic law, but also “Congressional-executive agreements” and some (but, IIRC, not all) “sole executive agreements.”

Virtually all “treaties” in the international sense that have come into force in US law in recent decades have been Congressional-executive agreements.

So the secret to happiness is exercise, meditate, be social and develop a spiritual relationship with nature? So basically no more insightful then any pop self help book.

Maybe the more interesting question is why no one putting down there hand when being told facts about how they will be happier without kids is instantly glossed over. Maybe this instant acceptance of equating traditional life milestones as leading a fulfilling life is the real issue. Giving that up is the real key to happiness.

And yet we see, repeatedly, that the employers who do this hiring are rarely, if ever, punished.

Two years ago, seven factories owned by the same company: 680 individuals arrested for being undocumented - a misdemeanor, leaving aside all the other polarization of opinions on that.

It's a felony to (knowingly) employ someone without work authorization.

Not one supervisor, manager, or executive has been charged with anything in relation to these raids. And ICE announced that they have no plans to do so.
Yeah let's try meeting. I'm going to visit you where we can finish this discussion.

You can guarantee that this will happen.
-"willing to have your taxes raised to guarantee everyone in your state gets a state ID"
-- yes, and the amount would not be much at all. I would also redirect all county and state tickets money to double the hours these places are open - and it may not raise taxes at all - in fact calculate the taxes lost as 1500 people per day need to take a day off work - it'll be a reverse wash.

the state should provide these docs free of charge no matter how they are paid for.

"o fund government buildings" this is changing - we now have digital kiosks in police stations and other places that can do most of the dmv work - many services no human required, some video conference.. no new building needed. Heck lyft can run a million dollar company out of the corner of a pep boys - surely there are more ways to provide more servicing without more buildings.

"when it comes to dealing with any kind of government services, the hours are meant to punish and discourage people from coming." - this is something we the people can demand change and actually make it happen.

Of course to save from blowing out state budgets we need to rehash how pensions and 401's with state workers are handled - if they continue to shake down the system like the post office, then the slow service is mainly to pad lifetime retirement gov cheese - regardless.

"the social security office" here in my city last two visits has been very efficient - not sure the hours - but they can be run well - and hours could be extended easily if we further pursue the kind of video tech in ATM machines and similar.
We can demand more infrastructure for id requirements - especially easy if there is no driver test needed - which for an ID it is not. Scaling the driving testing is quite challenging and not such an easy fix.

Like I alluded to in my original comment, if you can cash a 2,000 check you already have the Id and whatever you need to vote in the most stringent voting law place. afaik.

I've seen many people point to GA as hardcore voting 'restrictions' place and make similar points about costs - I just looked at their info, it says an ID card for 8 years may be $32, yet they offer a free one if it just for voting, and if you are indigent they offer a $5 option which may be waived and billed to/paid for by a shelter.

I do not care for the 'Real ID' requirements and feel that is a hurdle - but that is from the feds, and it sucks - because having 2 docs say you live somewhere is not easy if you are roommates - but that is not a state mandating voting restriction - it's a dumb thing the feds are trying to get pinpoint proof of location for many people before they get checked to get on planes, and who knows what else.

I am a 'no new tax ever' kind of person - so I feel the sentiment you raise, yet find when it comes to rights we have no choice but to provide what is needed from the state.

Luckily many tech things, and the ability for people to more easily petition for expanded hours and such - it looks like these things will be getting easier and cheaper as time goes on.

The question isn't whether they used insider information well, it's whether they used insider information at all.

Using information gained through their political office to inform their personal trading is improper, even if they lose money.

Just because many of these trades are bad or useless in retrospect doesn't mean that didn't try to profit from insider information.

EDIT: And I don't buy the argument that the small size of the trades relative to wealth implies that they're not using insider information. Martha Stewart went to jail over a $230,000 trade [0] at a point when her net worth was likely hundreds of times that amount.

The I9 verification system is a complete joke, unless you're actually here legally and you slip through the cracks because under-trained reviewers don't actually know the rules.
