Humans are not generally considered eusocial.
I often play against bots in yura.net Domination. These bots seem hardcoded to gang up on players (both bots and humans) whenever they manage to take a continent. It doesn't help that continents that are worth holding are usually difficult to defend. I learned quickly to never hold onto continents, especially with increasing cards. When you are strong enough to hold continents, you have pretty much already won the game.
Sure, they did bring them to the market. And they did play a role, which was not vital and that other companies were trying to do at the same time.
Yes but you’re missing the part of the conversation where it was established that US workers work more.

"Twice a week, Ken Jennings and John Roderick add a new entry to the OMNIBUS, an encyclopedic reference work of strange-but-true stories that they are compiling as a time capsule for future generations."
CF versus MemoryStick seems like a weird comparison. Sony was big on miniaturization back then and CF would have been a complete non-starter.
The "paradox" stems from thinking of "infinity" as an amount, and treating it as somehow logically finite. Once you toss away the "logic" of the finite, there is no paradox at all.

ETA: For instance: One infinite set does not have "as many" or "more" or "less" members than any other infinite set. You cannot compare amounts, there are not "amounts" to compare.
Hey, I'm one of the engineers on the DevInfra team at Mixpanel, and worked on the Argo implementation. AMA, and we are hiring in general, and for the DevInfra team in specific (feel free to email me, just gotta solve the "puzzle" in my profile :D)
Honestly, can you support that nasty claim without revealing that you have only a vague understanding that he did some wacky thing called 4'33"?

Frankly, your lack of citation and supportive reasoning does more to validate the Dunning-Kreuger effect than it does to criticize Cage.

I don't believe those avoiding the vaccine are for the most part cranks. I believe those avoiding the vaccine are freeriders and a game theoretical inevitability given the more other people take precautions against COVID the more appealing not taking precautions against COVID becomes.

Every time I have stumbled across communities of "The vaccine hesitant" in my travels a piece of logic repeated over and over is that it's less risky to take a chance of getting COVID than to definitely expose yourself to spike proteins. The risks of both are unknown, and anybody intellectually honest will acknowledge that COVID has many long term risks including the factors that people point to as risky about the vaccine like spike proteins. They do the evaluation that you will definitely get exposed to risk if you get vaccinated, but you only MIGHT be exposed to COVID.

In this context we're talking not about people masking up, isolating, avoiding browsing in grocery stores, and avoiding ANY exposure to spike proteins through vaccination or COVID. We're talking about people who want to go to bars but also don't want to get vaccinated. These are not cautious people, these are SELFISH people who are unconcerned with remote possibilities of long term risks if they have nothing more than a frivolous incentive to ignore those risks.

Why is it that such people deserve to be held in higher esteem than cranks, who at least to me seem more genuine and consistent? Am I supposed to be naïve to the game the rationalist "Vaccine hesitant" are playing? Wanting to freeride and not face social stigma is attempting to have ones cake and eat it too.
It is better thought of as zooming out to see more entities and how they work together.

You can dig deep into this stuff, I find it fascinating to see what others may not see through an understanding of how to visualize the problem as a system within a system.

> Imho, what was happening in the Silicon Valley economy looks much more like displacement of value rather than creation of value (1). Google/Facebook have displaced other ad formats, redirecting money to themselves…

I see your point but mostly disagree with it. The cost to advertise has dropped so while they have displaced some TV ads (still the largest) and most print ads, more people are able to advertise* so they are in a technical sense providing a different and better service to the market.

By analogy you say the same about cars, which “merely” displaced peoples’ “transportation spend” away from horses.

* I don’t think the growth of advertising has necessarily been particularly good; apart from the spying, people still only have 16 or so hours of consciousness per day so there is a zero sum and intrusive quality to ads. I’m just addressing your economic point.
The local store owner did a bit more than slap a bunch of records on the counter and say "Liked that? Then you'll like this!"

That's what algo-generated playlists feel like to me: A dispassionate list of songs, without any explanation for why I would like them. Even your average RateYourMusic list writer attempts to write 2 lines for each song or record on the list. I'm more inclined to try something out when there is at least some human input about why I might like it.

For example, I have been exploring the music of Ministry, and this RYM list provides the kind of human touch I'm looking for to keep my interest.

Taxis in Denmark are very easily available on demand. There are several apps, or you can phone.

(I have a friend who uses them regularly after we meet up.)
I agree with you, DJI does have decent software, and not just what they stole or purchased from others.

Comparing them to Apple is not a very big a complement, however. Apple isn't well known for having the best software. Apple often has well-designed interfaces and has worked hard to improve human-computer interfaces (both the hardware and the software). To be clear, I do not consider that to be "best-in-class software" though.
Regardless of the GUI framework I would suggest separating the business logic from the GUI.

The business logic could run as a daemon in the background or a shared library and can be implemented in whatever language you're most proficient in for writing system services and that matches the performance requirements of the task, and the GUI can be written in whatever language you're most proficient with for GUIs (so you can start with Electron and switch down the line if needed).

I would've said Electron is a bad idea for this (for the reasons you mention in the post), but if the "business logic" is decoupled from it then Electron's task is to merely display information at which point it becomes more viable.

I wrote this (at work) to update versions in our projects from one place, and even partial versions. Saves me some headache and mental space every time. I know there are competitors but none I found was just simple, everything else was bloated with Git-integration or regex search instead.

How is that a sensible tradeoff compared to just using something that was actually designed to be a database when you need a database?
This... I was an early MD adopter for music and I remember trying to find info as to how to use these for data but it wasn't possible. Funnily enough I totally forgot how I would record them: I know I'd transfer my songs from CDs to minidiscs, but I forgot how.

At approximately the same time, on my Mac, I was using the Iomega ZIP drives, ranging from 100 to 250 MB if my memory serves me correctly. These always felt heavy and bulky compared to the minidiscs.

The form factor of the MD was really cool and kinda still is.
Importantly, the proposal that activists sought was not a "holistic" process but instead a merit lottery. For all of the whinging that people have calling the activists racists, they wanted a system that still would have overrepresented asian students compared to the local population and had minimal opportunity for creeping bias through subjective systems.

And there were programs that successfully increased representation of black and hispanic students at TJ several decades ago - but these programs were halted.

We'll see how it plays out.
Developers only get to call themselves 'Engineers' when they deal with lots of Javascript. HTML+CSS is a sort of glue language, and using that on a daily basis is not engineering anymore than filling up plant pots with compost and seeds and then calling yourself a 'gardener'.
Definitely. There's something amazing working as a frontend on a design led company. Often time my role feels closer to the designers than backend. The best part though is we get to participate in both spectrums if we really want.

Any SSD you go through the trouble of building a max capacity disk image for, then dd'ing onto the disk before removing?

I mean... This is general purpose HW here. Write once SSD is a workflow more than an economically tenable use-case in terms of making massive size write once then burn the write circuit devices.
Back what up? I never made any claims about whether DIY is more dangerous or not. But the fact is that DIY or not, certain regulations must be followed when doing repairs - this is written into law in most countries. You're not allowed, for example, to hook up an oven to a 30A breaker using speaker wire. Because we can't trust that everyone will know not to do that, certifications have been designed to ensure correct knowledge and skill and those certifications are often mandated by law. You have two options - either get certified, so you can be trusted to carry out the work yourself, or get someone who is certified to at least look it over. Seems entirely reasonable.
I want to reap what I sow.

Misrepresenting someone else's work as your own is morally wrong at best.
That's almost certainly part of it. The Japanese electronics (and camera) makers have always been pretty bad at software--at least above the firmware level. That didn't used to matter so much but now so much about software and ecosystems (or platforms as you put it).

Decoder Ring: https://james.darpinian.com/decoder/ to look up error codes. Started with OpenGL, then added Windows error codes, Linux, HTTP, and Vulkan.

I was a bit frustrated always pasting error codes into Google, as it doesn't always come up with the best result. You often have to extract just the code from a larger message, and potentially convert to/from hex or signed/unsigned, e.g. Windows error codes like "-2005270521". My tool handles all that for you. Just paste an error message containing codes in whatever format and it'll find them, and it's incredibly fast.

I also made https://aqi.today during the California wildfires. I was frustrated by other air quality sites that load way too slowly and don't emphasize the one number that matters. Airnow.gov has improved since I made this, but but I still prefer mine for the simplicity, speed, and much better data sourced from Purpleair. Airnow.gov sensors are typically 5+ miles apart, and data is delayed by an hour or more, while air quality can vary on a block-to-block and minute-to-minute basis. Purpleair has far better sensor coverage and data is delayed only 10-20 minutes.

I love domino games. I used to play a lot of two-hand sniff (or muggins -- lots of variants). For me there's something aesthetically pleasing about games that use generic gaming equipment -- dominoes, cards, pawns, etc.
Are we really going to go down this path? Feel like this is such an outdated view that doesn't add any value.
Grocery delivery (Rohlik.cz here in Czechia) was a huge benefit for my elderly mother now during the pandemics.

She might owe her very life to the grocery delivery service. She managed to avoid Covid entirely until her vaccination. Her lungs are not particularly strong. The last winter wave here was particularly vicious, it was good that she could avoid going to the store in person.

Edit: downvoted for ... what? I live several hours away, I could not supply her in person.

Advantage of using Electron is that you have easy to deploy web version as well as easy build / install / update process for Linux users (though less native).

Qt is amazing due to much smaller memory footprint, but cross platform builds, packaging and CI still gonna take a lot more effort to maintain.
>Money laundering restrictions work because everything goes through a fairly centralized banking system. Crypto has no such equivalent.

You are treating encryption as an independent end goal by itself when it is only a tool that is used during communication and storage. Communication and to a lesser extent storage are highly centralized. How much of the average person's encrypted communication occurs in a channel that is not touched by some US company?
Up to 3 dice for defence is the standard rule. I think the standard game has several different types of victory, but the one you describe is in there in the British version.
Very cool. I'm still trying to wrap my head around what makes ABAB uncountable though. I understand the diagonal bit (its excluding them one by one), but it almost feels like that uncountable infinity is defined by a rule ("every combination") while the doors are defined by a different rule ("every item going upwards in count")

There is no way to know. An actual operational system deployed anywhere would be impossible to detect. It does not transmit anything, and can use existing antennas for receiving the signals. Can be as simple as software update.
Indeed. I was in Belgium and was a MD user but they weren't that big in Belgium. France neither IIRC. I was into it because I had family in Japan bringing me the goodies on every visit (blank discs, portable players, etc.).
We teach maths too much, we should just give gold bars to every student so they already win at life.

Trigonometry in particular is so ingrained in many aspect of applied science that not learning its fundamentals and then pushing to its higher level concepts is going to seriously reduce adaptation capability in students.

And if you somehow never need to rotate things, it's a good training in applying theoretical rules to concrete problems. In my university, after 2 years of increasingly complex trigonometry, we were left with 3D engine programming and to the fact that opened my mind forever that theoretical mathematics have a purpose.
All of what you said is fine but the 'more fair' part has come about in a large part due to people recognising inequity and fighting to remove it.

Just because it no longer affects you doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That the whole damn point of the original article.

Anyways cheers yeah mate, current socioeconomic structures are fair. /s
A single Rabbit node seems easier than rolling this yourself and doing all the work to test it.
> and you can’t really know anything without first giving it a name

Just a side note for the sake of curiosity: there is at least one African language (I don't know its name, unfortunately), which doesn't give a name to the natural environment, since, by their perspective, it is not a separate entity in itself. However, they probably "know" the environment way more deeply than most of us.
> Men’s rights groups have taken to searching for the image included in various posters and ad campaigns, in a McCarthyistic hunt [..] Major corporations have disciplined or demoted employees for advertisements that used the pinching hand, government ministries and municipalities have apologized and revamped promotional material, museums have dismantled displays and celebrities have seen their careers threatened.

Something about this seems familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it...
That is in no way obvious, lol.
When wunderlist was shutdown i had to find an alternative. I only used basic features of wunderlist and wanted something similar. But all options was just too much. So I built it myself. I've used it every day since. For shoppinglists and work tasks and any household tasks. It's perfect for what I want. It even looks a bit like wunderlist. Https://github.com/lallassu/doit

Then I also wanted to read my news from the shell in a simple manner. And I knew what I wanted but no existing rss client had the feeling I wanted. So I built Gorss. I use that every day as well. Https://github.com/lallassu/gorss
Not small, but myopic in a way.

I've been tinkering on and off with my own programming language for the last couple of years: http://www.adama-lang.org/

The key motivation is dealing with the complexities of managing all the state between people as they play a game with a strong boundary for privacy.

I am debating what my next steps are with what I've learned. Do I focus on growing things around it, or do I abandon yet another project and do something that might actually achieve success.
When I was much younger this was the source of a lot of wonder for me. Both the rationals and the irrationals are dense in the reals, and yet the irrationals greatly outnumber the rationals.
Yea I did a double take at that one. The software industry laughs uncontrollably at that statement.
Sometimes I wonder what kind of apps you are all developing where using postgres instead of redis makes sense? do you have 3 people using your app? Is 800ms latency ok for your users? Or is it that you don't care. Honest question.
In my experience players are happy to unite against me. Usually I take Australia and move into Asia when I’ve amassed enough forces. Then my strategy moves to holding asia at 3 points, while I disrupt the continental bonuses of my opponents between turns. Africa, Europe and North America can be disrupted from this position.
I think they want to select expire < now instead of expire = 0. Delete the row on completion.
One reason is that 'crossover languages'–i.e. languages that are hosted on a platform they don't control–invariably face many challenges, e.g. look at F# on .NET. They also face leaky abstraction, documentation, tooling etc. issues.
Nice gatekeeping dude. I disagree - a lot of cases can be done with just html and css. Choosing the right tool for the job can by no means mean that you're any less of an engineer.

Social media makes its money on outrage so that's what they're optimizing for. Ban or regulate advertising (which will make it less profitable) and other, less toxic business models will come up.

No, I don't. In part because I don't tick boxes, I just (try to) build good shit. Also because I don't expect every UX "best practice" from [random internet authority] from a site with JS disabled. I just expect the text on the site to render somewhere readable.

Usually, the argument from the "js is bad" crowd, isn't that the site should be as functional with JS disabled... only... that the basic content... should still render...
Private Inequity: How a Powerful Industry Conquered the Tax System
As a Wikimedian who used to spend sleepless nights editing on the Malagasy language Wikipedia and Wiktionary, I have been developing botjagwar (https://github.com/radomd92/botjagwar) on and off for the last 10 years. More details at https://github.com/radomd92/botjagwar/wiki/Backstory

It's mostly bot scripts written in Python. Data is stored in a self-hosted PostgreSQL. In addition to a backend I'd written myself, I also use PostgREST. A rather rustic front-end was written in 2020 (https://github.com/radomd92/botjagwar-frontend) as a COVID lockdown side-project. Other scripts also use Redis as a page cache to speed up operations involving a large number of page reads.
