As in "certo, chefe"? In Brazil that means "wrong, but you are the boss", not "never".
These are all smart thoughts but you’ve clearly never worked for or with an ISP. As business entities in general they don’t have that kind of technical sophistication. They are more on the level of “we have to hire these vendor consultant groups to install VMs for us” than “we build a crawler so that we can use domain plus byte count to drink-anonymize visited pages.”
It's true that TDD and good testing practice are related, so I agree on that part of it. I also agree that sometimes when I don't know what I'm doing, it's worth writing prototype code and throwing it away or bringing it up to standards. Other times I'm fine starting with TDD as a way of exploring the design space.

As to whether or not I have enough experience with TDD to judge it, I'll leave that up to you. But I've been doing TDD ~20 years, and I wrote a lot of code before that. Let me know if that's sufficient.
Is the saying "storm in a teacup" or "tempest in a teapot" or something like that?

Anyway, I don't really find any of this that egregious tbh.

Personally, I'm layering with nextdns to drop all the crap, and vpn over that, maybe solely depending on any one solution is the failure?

Also the "use Firefox" would be awesome if we could rely on Mozilla! I have always wanted them to succeed but recently they've been stumbling so hard and it doesn't look so promising.
> even if the amount is worthless and the ads are random crypto shit.

Maybe you are not valuing your own resources enough.
Ads draw time, concentration and other mental resources.
So i can only believe that it will be a net-negative in the end.
It can feel rewarding, but financially, the advertiser can't pay you enough.
I'm puzzled as to why the author seems to think that the incompleteness theorem says anything important about AI (rather than just pointing out that self-contradictions can be a potentially irritating problem in logical systems - something that was known since antiquity.)

You want to consider, based on a distribution of potential fly populations, what the odds are that sampling two of them will fail to capture two specific ones. For example, you can state with certainty that the population is above 3.

Closely related (though not quite the identical problem): https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2010/03/30/statistical-rule-o...

Applying that directly, we would estimate that the odds of a fly in your house being marked are less than 150%, which tells us that you should be taking larger samples.

(With only two marked flies, this estimate will always be less informative than the fact that you sampled n flies -- it will tell you that the population is probably greater than 2/3 of n, while the sampling procedure tells you that the population is necessarily at least n+2. But as you mark more flies, the estimate will be more informative.)
I think other folks are saying this but the navy solved this problem decades ago.

Sounds like a civilized thing to do. Just hack off the head and store it in some permanent disposal site. Then a few centuries later our ancestors will have to move the nuclear waste because of some leakage and will dig up the skulls.

Clearly a savage had lived there amongst the nuclear barrels. Its mind altered by the radiation, chopping off those poor worker heads.

Yes, but they're far less cost efficient than diesel. That's why the nuclear cruisers were retired. For the carriers and especially the subs the nuclear plants provide operational capacity that diesel can't match. For a research station that's not a concern.
Hmm yeah maybe not, even Bitfinex trades USDC, and anyway they're a much smaller percentage of volume than I thought (jesus binance is huge).

Wonder if it's just network effect then? Big traders use the USDT markets because they're more liquid -> the USDT markets become even more liquid and the cycle continues.
It seems to me you would be better served with something like GameMaker.

I've both watched all of Uncle Bob's videos (parts more than once), and been a long time Reddit/Factorio reader/game player. (The factory must grow!)

They did exactly what you suggested! The relationship with the users never went dark. They kept up with bug fixes, and kept feeding new features at a more than acceptable pace. [Edit: Here's the pace of their status updates, as evidence at https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/?f=flair_name%3A%22FFF%22 ]

I didn't quite believe that Uncle Bob's lessons worked in the real world, but if the Wube team is sold on them, that's about as good as an endorsement as I'll ever get.

Yes, yes, yes.

The remainder of the post after "The answer is" provides no answers to someone wondering how to change this about their team. At best, it's a collection of mnemonics that remind someone who already knows what to do that they should do it. At worst, it's a collection of buzzwords that could mean any number of different things to different people, with described outcomes that are so vaguely positive that they amount to "just make the team right, you know?"
I think we have become detached from nature and all that it serves up. Open spaces, boredom, the purposefulness and purposelessness of all things... These are a few of the things we lose.

I suspect the millions of years have wired our brains to expect the ever-presence of nature, to feed on, rely on it. It is the world of the past century or so that we were not designed for.
I everyone assumes something other than what you meant to communicate, it seems fair to conclude the communication wasn't clearly understood the way you intended.
Not sure if sarcastic. Twitter, Facebook and Youtube are all heavily engaging in censorship. For example, they banned people last year for talking about the lab leak hypothesis, which is now acceptably mainstream(1). They are currently censoring a Youtube channel(2) run by a PhD in biology, who has been interviewing MDs and the inventor of mRNA vaccines, and whose stated purpose is to help end the pandemic(3).

(I am not the original poster but I run product and this response "triggered" me)

What the poster is saying: your 'brand' is making a promise to help people learn, and he's pointing out that you are not doing that. Your response of "how would you like us to do that?" is not reasonable. If you are making a promise you need to have a plan on the "how"

If your client could tell you how to educate them, they wouldn't need you to do that.

I don't mean this to sound as critical as it may come across. I am not a crypto guy so it's not my place to evaluate your offering holistically. It may be valuable and impressive, I can't tell. But just pointing out that your response on this one issue doesn't inspire confidence if I were to judge you solely on this data point.
It's good that more people, which includes women, can live how they want now.

I'm a straight, sapio+demisexual (women are pretty, but strangers don't do anything for me), polygynous man with an absurd, irrational sporting interest in piquing interest, foreplay, and seduction, but very rarely closing the bedroom door with an unknown woman or women. I am interested in smart, fun, young (AGR), beauties who tend to be bi or pan, since that's who is also interested in me. I have no qualms about a "steady" girl(s) hitting-on other girl(s), being with other girl(s), or bringing us or me more girl(s); they can go play all they want.

Lot of people hate me for this or that, either jealousy or lifestyle judgements. Fuck them. Live life as it works best for you as long as you're honest with others.
A clear and concise explanation - well done and rare for the topic.
The way I see it, unless you're developing exclusively for Apple platforms, it's not worth the effort to build something with Metal. There are translation layers like MoltenVK that can help, but that still requires a lot of effort for what is likely a very small market segment.
I always loved Australia's "shouty bloke" ads, which only really died in the 90's.

Typically, they consisted of a beer-bellied "true blue" Aussie, nominally the owner/founder of the company, yelling at the camera about whatever product that his company sold. Fast cut to lots of pictures of stuff for sale. End. Genius
TDD is basically automated and "named" REPL-driven development. Which is very nice!
>> The best jobs have always been in the bigger cities, where quality of life is inevitably impaired by the practical constraints of colocation and density. This has also meant that governance of bigger cities can be truly terrible, since people have no choice but to live there if they want the good jobs.

This reads as if it's written by someone whose idea of a "big city" is San Francisco. SF is uniquely terrible among large American cities. Even other American cities aren't great compared to their international counterparts.

Density, even in those other not-that-great American cities, also affords a quality of life not possible in smaller areas. Easy access to cultural institutions, quality restaurants, music venues, events, public transit, and other things only possible with sufficient density.

As a parent of a small child in the city, I'm accustomed to having many other parents and children nearby to meet at the many area parks and playgrounds. In every suburban or small town playground we've been to, I've been struck by the absence of others. I'd much rather share playgrounds and have plenty of other children for my child to interact with than be limited to day care and the back yard, which seems to be the case in less-dense areas.

I also thoroughly enjoy and appreciate being able to walk and bicycle for errands and amenities, which is not possible in many less-dense areas.

It's possible a sufficiently dense but small city or town could provide these same qualities of life, but these communities don't seem to exist in America. Smaller areas just by their nature spread out, and even some larger cities aren't dense enough and are still car-dependent.
In fact, Ian Grigg's Ricardian Contract construct was originally created with centralized enforcement in mind. To him, the purpose of these contracts was to create an immutable record of the intent of any transaction that could then be followed all the way back to its inception in the event of a dispute.

So part of the magic of the smart contract is illustrating intent from the beginning, and making that intent customizable! Oracles are still an unsolved problem, but we absolutely believe that reducing the barrier to entry for becoming or acting as an oracle will result in cost savings as the ecosystem matures.

Apple is extremely friendly to developers targeting the Apple ecosytem.

Unreal and Unity do support Apple devices.

Plus, unlike Android, they actually provide tons of tooling for game development and graphics programming on iOS.

Colorful and emotional language gets attention. Dispassionate writing doesn't. Whenever I see people criticize an author for a little rhetorical flair, I play the famous "Pirates of the Caribbean" scene in my mind:

Not in my experience. People usually just ignore annoying stuff. They don't even read anything, it barely registers on their minds. I've seen people browsing a website get extremely confused when some newsletter bullshit pops up in front of the content. They immediately start searching for a close button to get rid of it. They assume annoyances like that are an inevitable part of life on the internet.

It's a learning curve. You don't need to reinvent all these things, but you do need to learn the tooling.

You could just use a fuzzer to generate code, and run tests on the output. Each new test would approximately double the run time until a new "correct" output was found.

This doesn't become practical until you can do it on a quantum computer with millions of cubits.
Well, there was at least one startup that addressed the issue of flies/mosquitoes indoors. Bzigo. https://bzigo.com/

It's a machine vision system that tracks mosquitoes and aims a laser pointer on them (so you can swat them). Don't know if this company still exists. It was/is an Israeli start-up and apparently not an April Fool's day joke.

It seems to me the best solution is to use screens, but that is not as sexy as machine vision.

"[I]f your tests are ugly, its a sign your code is ugly" is a bit tautological, and highly subjective besides.

I consider the 50-line function to be "less ugly" than the same function butchered for "testability" into a bog of poor abstractions and single-use smaller functions.
> Make that "in case you never want to actually finish your game :)

I disagree. People overestimate how much of a time sink "writing your own engine" is. Using a generalized engine often suffers from the second system effect, in the end reducing your flexibility while not really saving you that much time.
You hit the nail on the head. Unless it’s totally virtual - on chain finance, gambling, etc. the contracts are only as good as the oracles. I guess that’s why DeFi works so well.

Fortunately decentralized oracles are an area of focus right now, but it’ll be a slow process since most expansion will require a special integration and potentially expert oracles.
False equivalence.

That said, I agree with both OP and GP. I personally prefer clarity take precedence over whatever code-commenting or code-formatting guidelines one might have in place. It is all about common sense, I guess.

AWS IQ – Complete projects faster with AWS Certified freelancers
Yep, overall i agree with you. Of course, there are a few people who actually write their own engines AND finish their games, but they're probably in the minority.

I guess what i tried to say is that if your goal is to make money, then there are lots of ways to save on time and effort, in the case of gamedev that being using existing technologies and solutions, possibly even assets (as long as you don't mix art styles that don't match).

It's much the same as wanting to produce a corporate CRUD web app vs writing a personal blogging engine for a passion project or simply for own amusement. Both can result in finished products, yet the motivations for each would be drastically different.

Understood that with printed docs multiple people may start commenting on the same points, however, the discussion happens only once still.

I personally find that many of the comments showing up with online commenting are not worth, and they don't even get acted upon. What's lost in the process are good comments amongst the sea of them.

Notetakers should be capturing the key points anyways. Large number of online comments is perhaps even worse than meeting summary notes with a raw listing who said what.
One of the biggest things was the addition of Span<T> and Memory<T>, and their usage in underlying types within the .Net framework. While C# always had the ability to use raw pointers, these two types allow you similar performance characteristics without unsafe blocks (and frankly are near idiot-proof instead of being a giant foot-gun with pointers to managed types).

>but the whole cell telephony baseband firmware enables privileged access to your phone

This is very outdated, at least for a significant number of smartphones (including all iPhones, but not limited just to those). Apple and IIRC other manufacturers long since isolated the baseband, treating it simply as a standard USB or PCIe peripheral (and in the latter case using an IOMMU with it amongst other things). It has zero special access to anything on the rest of the phone which in the smart phone era is where everything of interest actually lives and happens.
> which got stuffed into the "general" extension family

No it didn't. That's why Linux Distributions say they are RV64GC, for general+compressed.

The original encoding set was done by Andrew Watermen to be implemented in the minimal amount of gates. And he was successful.

So of course any change would stick out like a sore thumb. That however does not mean its bad. For reasonable performance code cores it is well worth it because you get many benefits, not just code size. There is a reason that all systems that expect reasonable performance have adopted the C instruction as a standard, decoding is tiny part of the chip at that point.

Even some very tiny cores prefer as the price of slightly more decoder complexity is worth it compared to the code size.

I suggest you go look threw the lectures in the RISC-V channel, I have seen a number of presentation that do such comparison if I remember correctly.
