> > We don’t plan our lives around elevated emotional states. What we want are worthwhile lives,

> This article puts forth a premise and states it's a fact.

The article does overemphasize the point to some degree, but not as you claim. First, the author cites an exercise he regularly gives in class and its result, drawing a legitimate conclusion (based on his description of the class results). He then uses it as a hook for his actual article which is an exploration of an element of Aztec thought, most of which is unknown in the English speaking world.

> Oooh, edgy take, you want to be miserable, embrace it!

I would hardly call this “edgy”. Certainly this is not at all what the author says. Note the quotations “joy-pain” and the like which are experiences well reflected in philosophical work from Ancient to modern Europe, India, Sumeria, or China and undoubtedly others.

> This is undoubtedly a bad theory at odds with a number of religions, much less common sense.

Is there really a religion whose doctrine is “do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law?”
LOL raising a nuclear family isn't the only way to find happiness in life. How narrow minded do you have to be to think that?
> Taiwan's not in the middle of being taken over by the mainland chinese government

Neither is Hong Kong; that happened in 1997.
I think it would be great if major OSs offered an "$app copied/pasted from clipboard" notification like iOS.
The terrible cost of reporters wanting to maintain close ties and access to scoops from toxic members of our community (not to mention future access in case they decide to convert themselves into VCs, as they do on a frequent basis): these sorts of aw-shucks humble-brag “I got on the phone with Mark he’s really not that bad!” type of nonsense.

Mark has serious mental issues. We don’t classify people as mentally ill if they’ve made some certain amount of money, but if we ever get over that bias we would realize people like Kara Swisher spend tons of time selling us on the idea that the decision making of a mentally ill dude with a weird Roman emperor fetish, who is dangerously under-socialized and lives in a bubble of security and yes-men, are the decisions of a wise sage, wiser than any of us will ever be.

And I can personally tell you that Kara Swisher has no interest in looking at any evidence that blows up her completely fabricated fantasy. But reality won’t get her that late night call with Mark she clearly desperately seeks; I guess that’s the aging boomer’s version of “I know the guy who runs Tiktok.”
Or only allow politicians to buy shares in index funds of US companies so they aren’t biased towards any individual company whose stock they hold.
> The sense in which this definition is "strict" is based on ignoring that N-point perspective is just a tool for drawing lines parallel to the coordinate axes with correct perspective.

The thing is, the author claims that students in art classes are taught that in n-point perspective, all parallel lines converge at one of n points. In defense of this, they have [1], which says

> in basic one-point perspective, lines are either vertical, horizontal or recede toward the vanishing point. In two-point, lines are either horizontal or recede toward one of the two vanishing points. In three-point perspective all lines recede toward one of the three vanishing points.

I don't think I've ever heard this before. Maybe what's happening here is that artists are used to thinking about works like [2], in other words cases where the point of the work is to show off 1, 2, or 3 point perspective and so you deliberately minimize lines in the image that are not parallel to the scene's axes. Of course, artists surely realize that this can't possibly apply to all parallel lines in the scene, as the artist's own drawing in [1] illustrates: see my edit here [3].

Still, I find the OP's work interesting as a possible implementation of what it would mean to take this mistaken description of n-point perspective seriously.

Agreed, most shouldn't for most technical roles at least. Every place I've worked at, I'd had to somehow convince them of this, but really I couldn't even apply any of it if I wanted to. There are designers that take care of the user experience and visuals, and then technical managers / producers, that make decisions if something is unclear. Developers tend to just develop, and have to worry about scaling the code, making it bug free, and implementing accurate specs. I believe companies just want this cohesion of some kind between employees, just to say everyone is aligned properly or something.
I did have art class in high school, and I’m aware that most artists won’t have been taught the formulas in full mathematical detail. But you’re the one describing your method as “based on how it gets taught in art class” and calling it “strict” and “true” three-point perspective (or at least calling the usual method “not true three-point perspective”). What I’m suggesting is that maybe you should examine the extra assumptions you made in addition to the rules from art class before drawing conclusions from them.

(Filed https://github.com/Pomax/three-point-perspective/issues/1 as you asked.)
Ooh, man I’m really not on the top of my game today. Thank you for the explanation!
Haha thanks.
Funny enough I spent last night up to 4 am working on my company's features :) Because I was solving a problem that would alleviate my colleagues work. Even though I don't care that much about the product itself.

But yeah I always do what you suggested in interviews, I just wanted to try it this time
Kinda saddened by the fact that tpfancontrol is still a must have in 2021. I believe it became mandatory for me when I upgraded my old W520 from win7 to 10, as the newer OS didn't properly manage fan speeds (the minimum speed was way too high, the maximum speed was never triggered).

I haven't used windows on that laptop in years (and it doesn't get much use anymore, although it still works flawlessly!), reckoned they'd have fixed this by now.
International law is very much a gentlemen's agreement, though. It's not like domestic law. Domestic law always wins.
Can't agree with you more. If a candidate is taking responsibility for their internet, what chances do I have of them pushing a feature across a finish line? If it's "not their fault" that they're having an internet connection, is it going to be "not their fault" that they couldn't get an approval on a PR, or "not their fault" that they didn't speed to another team to work out an issue before a deadline?
How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk, by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish.

Stack Overflow co-founder Jeff Atwood recommends this book on his Coding Horror blog[0]. I don't have children, but his statement that a book on talking with children "improved [his] interactions with all human beings from age 2 to 99" intrigued me enough to get the book.

I feel that out of any book I've read, this is the one that's affected my actual behavior the most. The book features a lot of examples that help the reader to internalize the lessons. Also, the lessons are so broadly applicable that you can likely apply them immediately in your life.

It was honestly really amazing to read some pages of the book one night, find an opportunity to apply a lesson from it in a situation the next day, and then see immediate results when the conversation would go in positive direction that I maybe would have screwed up otherwise.

Love the video! Being totally unfamiliar with shaders: can they be used to improve performance of things like file operations on multiple files? This week I was working on hashing files in parallel in Python and although it's faster now than the single threaded version, the project would hugely benefit from being able to work faster since some of the work being done takes thirty minutes - several hours.
Bitcoin is not cheap either to send, but it has an advantage here I think in fees. The volatility on the other hand could be problematic.
It should be more of an alternative minimum tax. The corp ends up paying 0% due to tax write-offs the AMT kicks in and charges 5% or something.
it would have the password manager insert the password into some element on the page, and then probably send that password off to some site for exfill, but it wouldn't show you it's doing any of this

Ross Ulbricht Gives Public Statement at Bitcoin 2021
Many other cryptocurrencies are so much better than Bitcoin. Off the top of my head: Monero, Litecoin and maybe Ada (Cardano) sound like better alternatives.

A good heuristic is "if someone extols the virtues of Bitcoin (instead of crypto in general), then they don't understand much about the virtues of Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency."
Maybe, maybe not. Time will tell. This has been happening since 2008 with no serious repercussions.
> If life ever becomes too bad for you, you will just die, and at least if you're a good person it's unlikely you'll go to anything considered hell.

Are you joking? You don't have to be a bad person, sometimes the small mistakes can literally lead to the hell on earth before you ever will be able to die. https://mysteriousfacts.com/hisashi-ouchi/

Death is not to be scared of, inability to die when you want is so much more terrifying. Every humane country should legalize euthanasia.
I don't buy the theory that they could be Russian or Chinese because they would have to be very state of the art, but these reported sightings are already many years old. And UFOs have been with us for decades, reportedly.

And just because US government declassified these reports doesn't mean they declassified everything.

What gives me some pause in my UFO-beliefs however is that these days everybody has a cell-phone with a video-camera. We should by now have many more video-recordings of UFOs than before.
Bitcoin can’t scale to handle anywhere close to that much volume, and the deflationary model makes stability harder to maintain since it discourages routine usage.
Feels like laptops are just crap these days. I'm on a Macbook Pro and hate it. The unergonomic keyboard sux, the software is broken and I am disempowered to fix it, and there is no way reliably get modern builds of open source projects I care about. In short it was a false economy. I had a Dell with Gentoo before this, recently reinvigorated under Ubuntu but despite only being a few years old the CMOS battery is so crap it loses BIOS config regularly and has to be tediously reconfigured to get boot functioning.

Does anyone feel it makes more sense to buy an embedded system and lug it around instead from now on? There are spare screens everywhere, they cost nothing, and it seems the laptop form factor is just overpriced, underpowered, unmaintainable/unupgradeable for the money. Should be trivial to build a decent keyboard, optional portable screen and power pack in to a backpack in lieu of a traditional case.
How is VAT the obvious one? The practice is far from theory. VAT is effectively a tax on consumers not on corporations.
What's wrong with either of those? And why are they harder than digital wallets and exchanges?
Great article.

I was a child though the first wave of Asian Tigers and remember viscerally the expansion of Singapore from muddy backwater to its current state. The arguments against the possibility of development and self determination in SE Asia back then are no different from the same points being made about South Asia today.

Glad to see a solid counter example being written up about a country recently deemed a basket case.
This is so many words to simply miss the concept of anthropomorphism.

By calling the rat a hero, it's implicitly being anthropomorphized.

"Rat doctors sniff out cancer!"

"Rat lawyer cracks a tough case after DNA links owner to scene of the crime"

This is why you're being accused of having an unsophisticated grasp of language.

You're not understanding the implicit meaning of a statement and confusing it with a lack of specificity or suitability of the explicit terms in said statement.

That's silly.
That leans the discussion towards "it's possible" more than "it's impossible unless...". Not ideal if the goal is to save time and sanity.
Strunk & White.

> No surprise, the physics was by far the hardest part and we never got it quite right.

Don't feel bad, neither did Nintendo! The Backwards Long Jump, or BLJ, is kinda similar to your slope-launch, where you accrue velocity, and is a core part of SM64 speed running techniques.

I wonder if, in the modern world of Unity and drag-and-drop physics, we're missing out on strange, emergent gameplay due to programmer error-- and to what degree. Some true magic was born out of weird and/or bad physics in games.
The word 'toxic' has essentially lost all meaning.
I guess if you devote a lot of energy to researching a vulnerability and the developers explain to you that it's not actually a vulnerability, you only have two choices:

- Accept that you misunderstood and have mostly wasted your time by pursuing unnecessary research. Refocus on new vuln research.

- Become indignant and accuse the developers of being uncooperative and conspiratorial by refusing to validate your research. Double down on publicizing your original research.

Which response is correct hinges on whether the developers are justified in denying the vulnerability. As a reader, I was prepared to have the second response but after reading the article I feel the first - this was a waste of everyone's time.
> 1. What rules are being violated by these offers? It is what happens after the sale might break the rules but I can't report someone for having bad intentions.

They might be people who were already banned for modifying other extensions into malware, back at it again on a new account. The hint that they're trying the same tactic might be enough to link their previous and new accounts, and then ban them again.
I think you might have just had a bad class on the topic. For what it's worth I watched Erik Olson's artistic linear perspective class lectures on New Masters Academy and it definitely didn't teach perspective working the way you describe.

A deflationary coin cannot stabilize without destabilizing the economy that trades in it. https://benoitessiambre.com/specter.html
I think this guy is missing one reason you definitely want to run browser based password managers, especially at a business. And that is... phishing. Not every one is tech savy enough to notice a phishing site and some phishing sites are hard to notice even for those who are aware. Browser based password managers fix this problem. Yes, the browser vendor and the password manager vendor are weak points, but it's oftentimes safer than dealing with phishing especially for those not as aware of it as you are.

Also the other guy who mentioned re-used passwords has another good point.
The national currency in El Salvador is the US Dollar. They retired out their own currency in the 2000s.
People with health conditions won't get infected if there is no spread. By all means vaccinate the most vulnerable, but stay at home early retirees aren't exactly superspreaders.

The 18-35 cohort after vaccination with the Pfizer vaccine are going from being extremely dangerous asymptomatic spreaders to having high levels of sterilizing immunity.
Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s a logical fallacy or religiously motivated. Get out of your bubble and talk to people and you’ll learn things!
Amazon isn’t providing an open pipe mesh network. It’s not even an IP network.
How is that functionally different than how tax works now?

Ownership gives you two things. It's a right to future profits, and the ability to resell that right to someone else. Company tax gives the government a percentage of the profit, and capital gains tax gives them a percentage when the shares are sold.

The only thing your proposal would do is delay when the government gets it's slice because the company doesn't have to pay a dividend right away.
In an age where newspapers were bought at news stands for cash, identity of the reader was entirely anonymous.

In an age where printed periodicals were delivered by subscription, the subscriber information was available (and yes, often tracked by local and federal law enforcement), but not the specifics of what articles were read.

Today, with Web-based document delivery and Javascript instrumentation, the specifics of who reads what articles, time on page, sections read, interactions, shares, and more, are available not just to the publishere but advertisers, any entities hacking into or accessing their systems, app developers, and more.

And, yes, law enforcement, whether under warrant, subpoena, or ... other methods.
Wow. Also did Windows solitaire graphics? How many times have those pixels been displayed around the world? (It's like how the Windows XP bliss wallpaper is one of the world's most viewed photos.)
This is a biased, right-wing blog that's unrelated to previous anti-censorship drives with similar names. The author names appear to be pen names and it is not known who runs the site or authors the posts. The blog posts generally lack sources for most claims.
That already happens every single day (credit card chargebacks), and is not very easy to do in BTC. I'd have to look into how it works in the lightning network.
I Love Ruby: Get started with the greatest programming language made for humans
The scary part is detecting and reproducing the error reliably is difficult. Haven't read the paper, but I expect tooling on this field will be growing following more awareness.
My fear is that this is somehow a way to legitimize black market transactions, and to attract more of that activity to that struggling country.
This is how many of the local wireless networks here in Czech Republic started - someone who could have connectivity got together with others, put up an omni-directional antenna on the roof and had others connect to it, then split the cost of the connection. This often made it possible to share much more expensive connections than any one of the participants would otherwise would be able to afford.

This often started with off the shelf wireless APs (like the venerable D-Link DWL-900AP+ with often home made antennas connected. If the network had more knowledgeable Unix people, they might have used an old PC running Linux or BSD with hostapd and an PCI wireless card. The most advanced ones even had home-built optical links (Seriously, 10 Mbit/s full duplex on 2001 by light was super cool! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RONJA) though our network was not that hardcore. :P We did lay some cable via agricultural pipe and build a makeshift com tower next to a Vineyard. :)

Over time the networks got high larger via bridging and wired or even fiber segments and a lot of the hardware was often replaced by high performance Microtik and Ubiquity devices.

Also the networks often merged into bigger ones, covering whole cities and their surrounding villages, with APs on top of grain silos and water towers.

Some of the networks are still independent and quite big, some were bought by big "traditional" telecom companies and some still operate as user coops to this day.
Meta: I realize this book's subtitle ("the greatest programming language made for humans") is unnecessarily objective/divisive even if I do personally agree with that statement. No flamewar intended :)
I made a slouching detector a while back. It calibrated the distance of your face from your laptop and if you start leaning in it’ll give you a notification to sit back. It’s a bit dated but still works on Chrome and FF, I believe:

Kind of: Bitcoin doesn’t allow transactions without knowing the key but that isn’t true for exchanges and the public ledger makes it easy to block transactions using that address. If everyone subject to US jurisdiction or treaty agreements blocks transactions traceable back to tainted addresses, the value plummets.
Strangely they didn't emphasize that a concrete objection is necessary rather than just an unexplained rejection.

To me, "that won't work because" is totally fine, as long as they have a good reason.

The article says "incorrect solution".. I think this is also the wrong perspective. Ideas are not monoliths. The starting point is the specific reason you think it won't work.

A lot of times, the best ideas hinge upon solving some difficult problem, but they are rejected without consideration because other people in the room don't have problem solving skills and so see any proposal that requires problem solving as unworkable.
I am a non-game developer, and I have been looking into this as well for 3D games.

1. It seems the major game engines are Unreal (C++, many AAA titles) and Unity (C#, widely used). Godot is open source and uses a python-esque GDScript. There is also Roblox Studio (Lua) which is its own walled garden.

For multiplayer, you can use Unity and Unreal’s systems or Steam or you could try to roll your own with something like Agones.

For Assets, major tools are Blender and 3DS Max. You could also use tools like Shapr3D or MagicaVoxel. Or buy on sites like Turbosquid but the meshes/textures may not be organized well.

2. Reasoning about geometric transformations can be challenging. Also animations, character rigging, organizing assets, memory management, framerate performance.

All of this is in addition to game design, which is its own thing. Good luck!
I agree with GP. It's not just about the differing goals of the projects. Julia is developed by numerical computing people. Imho the community really needs help from some PL and systems people.
So this is interesting but I mean imagine a post comparing R to perl. Julia I think has the potential to be a general programming language but it is primarily geared towards data scientists and (more importantly) computational scientists who are stuck writing f77 (and f90 would literally be an upgrade for them). Julia has its use case at least from my vantage point as a computational person while Rust has no applicability (yet) in that domain. For example, the lack of ability to use fortran style loops mentioned in this article kinda says to anyone looking for something new, "yeah I'll stick with fortan then."

It's fun to compare things in general but the two languange concern very different areas of computing so much so that the "differences" will actually be the differences in the domains rather than the languages actually.
fyi Tavis is a very well known and respected security researcher from Project Zero, and this is his site so it's nothing to worry about :) I mean he _could_ hack everyone if he wanted but he'd pretty quickly be in a whole lot of trouble

You can see that he links to this as his site on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/taviso

Interestingly, I wonder if Norton doesn't like it since the name is related to an old vulnerability. From his site:

> Q. What is the origin of your domain name?

> There was a bug in early Pentiums called the f00f bug, it would cause a deadlock if you used in invalid operand with cmpxchg8b with the lock prefix. It was an important vulnerability at the time, and I thought it would be fun to own lock.cmpxchg8b.com.
