There's a lot of games out there, way more than there are web browsers. For a start try comparing games with manpower/dev support levels similar to a web browser like chrome. If we take a AAA open world game, the game somehow gets more features done compared to chrome. There's something that can be learnt there.

Also last I heard there was a startup aiming to solve slow browsers by running chrome in a server and streaming a video of the window somewhere. If that's not a setback I don't know what is.
Or, as Google is simply dialing it to 10 now, it will then dial this down to 5 post reactions and people will be okay with this eventually, unfortunately.

Windows 10 is still going to be supported until 2025. That's a full ten years after it's initial release. How much longer do you think Apple is going to support Intel Macs now that they're releasing them with ARM chips? I had a Core 2 Duo Macbook once upon a time that got left in the dust less than five years after it was released because Apple didn't feel like supporting it anymore.

See my sister comment. The Bernoulli effect explains the pressure differential by way of an above-wing streamline reaching the back of the wing at the same time as the below wing streamline. Since the upper wing is curved and therefore a longer path the theory claims the pressure differential is caused by the upper streamline traveling faster than the lower streamline.

The problem with this theory is that there is no physical reason why both streamlines must arrive at the back of the wing at the same time - and per experimental verification, in fact they don’t.

I just don't understand reddit's UI. I'd probably use the subreddit's I join a lot more if their forum features were more like HN & lobsters.

> ...it does a full page reload, now showing you only that subthread!

Some times expands in place, some times link to new page. Since I can't predict what will happen, I rarely drill down into threads.

I lurk on r/awww and the like. (Mental therapy during the apocolypse.) I have no idea why OC is shown or not. Further, the UI for submitting posts is turrible. I legit have no idea what will happen. So I've stopped trying.

I wouldn't mind using a native or 3rd party client. Shit, I cut my teeth on CompuServe, BIX, FidoNet, etc. They had thriving ecosystem of offline clients. But the reddit clients I've tried just haven't gelled with me. (Didn't care enough to think about it too much.)

Admirable digging, for sure.
If history taught us anything it’s that people will move to less friction platform. I was long time Google, but over the last few years I’ve almost migrated completely to Apple. I know a lot of developers in my field (video games) that have done the same. Google is using its size and reach to fill my products with ads. I’m not an ad id and I want to be treated as such. Also, why is android such a bad development platform? Android is the worst part of mobile development and I’m glad I left it for good.
I'll re-post my comment from the other thread because I think it's an important point:

> I briefly considered it. I've been entirely out of the Apple ecosystem so far (save for airpods). It sounds like Apple is gaining traction over time because the competition keeps getting worse and worse.

> I'm frankly not sure opting into Apple is a solution to the problem at large. It might be a temporary fix, but at the end of the day you're still using a proprietary system which might decide that ads are lucrative tomorrow.

I agree it's a viable alternative. I worry it's just pushing the same problem a few years down.
Does your product target consumers or businesses? Consumer marketing (B2C) is very different than business-to-business marketing (B2B). Frankly, I find B2B much easier and more ethical than B2C.

Most agencies charge you an hourly rate with no incentive to win. You can sometimes negotiate performance-based incentives or % of sales, but it's a bit rare. Both of these can actually bring in more money for the vendor and you're not giving up equity.

“Data from the San Francisco Police Department suggests these reports may be overblown.”

Reporting theft to the police department is a waste of time since police will not pursue or investigate the petty theft. After spending much time filing reports with police, people realize that they are wasting their time, and they stop filing reports. As a result, the official police stats in places like San Francisco are completely unreliable.

I’m more interested in what would cause people to ignore their doctor and choose to believe whatever insane thing is on social media about, say, vaccines. There’s always been places you could go and find nonsense. But what’s different about this moment? What’s drawing people to nonsense?

IMO social media gets the blame, but it’s just the vehicle for something darker happening. Something more about widespread nativism that distrusts an educated, cosmopolitan elite.

Just because we see this on social media, doesn’t make social media the cause.

To take your example to the extreme, unless people control their entire tech stack, they deserve whatever is coming to them.

So if the software you're using on your system breaks functionality or introduces ads, it's on you. Maybe you can reject software updates to your local stack that you're aware of, but what happens when stuff is introduced in part of the stack you can't control?

You also assume everyone is sufficiently tech aware to prevent such things. yes, in an ideal world, every one is sufficiently tech savvy to know all possible eventualities. But that's not the case, and anyone here who thinks they're infallible at doing so, is kidding themselves.

What holds true for the Linux kernel may not hold true for other repos.

In this case, the OP is supporting old Linux releases and remarking how naturally cherry picking can work. LLVM by comparison, doesn't have long-term stable releases. So this conservative approach doesn't necessarily apply for LLVM.

So I like the analysis but I disagree with the generality.

The way the thrust is generated is mostly irrelevant to this observation. The observation is about the mechanics of lift, which is some function of thrust combined with the wings, rotors, balloons, etc. You'd observe the same bizarre mechanics if the thrust were generated by releasing highly compressed air from a tank.
> Gamedev has got to be the most rewarding type of software coding there is.

It is... under certain circumstances. At a AAA studio it's an utter slog, unless you're the designer or one of the top coders working closely with the designer. Then you get to build prototypes, bounce ideas around, etc. until you come up with something you can hand down to the C++ slaves in the salt mines.

If you don't want to be in the salt mines yourself, the best route to take is the indie route. Become the designer/lead programmer, write the game on your own schedule, and either do your own art/sounds/music or hire people to make those assets for you as necessary and use placeholders while you refine the game design. You also get your choice of language. Want to write a game in Lisp or Haskell? Go nuts!

Do yourself a favor and start with a data-oriented model for your game world like ECS, instead of an inheritance-based object-oriented model. Your inheritance tree is going to whack you like a Whomping Willow the minute you try to build a game object with traits from different classes across the tree. With a data-oriented approach, your game objects are just pieces of state -- rows in a spreadsheet -- and you can change them with whatever tools are most handy: objects, plain functions, whatever. Choosing an ECS has saved me much hassle in adding new enemies and behaviors to the game I'm working on, and that shortens the time and effort from "I need to add this thing" to "WOW! It works!"

Oh, and START SMALL. The easiest way to get from zero to finished game is to limit the scope of your game! Kenta Cho, the guy behind rRootage and all those bullet hell shooters, put up a bunch of tiny web games on his site, each of which uses tiny bitmaps or canvas graphics primitives, so has little in the way of assets: https://abagames.github.io/games-web-pages/browser.html

> But surely building “yet another react form” feels like coding an already solved problem.

Building "yet another React form" should take minutes to hours. If it doesn't at your shop, consider the processes you have in place. Processes like Scrum are there to ensure transparency to management throughout the SDLC and to act as dampers to prevent programmers from becoming too efficient -- not to make the programmers better at their jobs!

> You’re not approaching the creation with the usual “what problem am I trying to solve” but rather “what’s the most fun thing I can build?”.

That can quickly degenerate into "what problem am I trying to solve" when you are trying to work out why collision detection isn't working or why enemies do random things they shouldn't be doing, etc.
The purpose of reddit at this point is to keep as many naive and docile users as possible, and keep them clicking. Anything that could cause cognitive dissonance is bannable, while advertising and astroturfing are essentially encouraged. Any interesting comment or opinion that's actually worth reading will be hidden near the bottom or middle of any popular thread. If you try to engage in any potentially controversial conversation, you are at risk of getting banned, or having several comments in the convo deleted. The only thing left worth anything in on reddit are relatively small, niche subreddits.
I bought an Nvidia Shield because the Plex client can switch the display's refresh rate to match the content (no judder for 24p content). Based on [1], it sounds like that should be possible with the Apple TV, too. Can anyone confirm if this works well?

DIDs make use of public key encryption, which does not require storing private data on a public chain to be useful. All that's needed is a public key directory for public entities, everything else can be verified based on said pubkey of those entities who issue credentials

a new identifier (pubkey) can be created for each organization you engage with

OPs argument seems based on imagination has nothing to do with how DIDs are meant to work
I totally agree. Usually, I don't understand, can't read my notes after a months. What I do is that I put old nodes in a bin and leave them for a bit longer, just in case I remember something is in there. After 2 months, I just trash it.

Notes are just a way for me to think, to help my short term memory as you say. That's the best tool to think. Using my computer, even with my beloved Emacs (which is always shown as the best tool for everything :-) ) doesn't come close.

Now, for long term things, I do write them in a computer file.

Also, I don't know why, but writing with a pencil helps me to rememeber things much better than typing them on a keyboard. I'd say it's because the communication between my hands and my brain is more direct, dunno...

I don’t think you’ll find many programmers who “want” things like this to happen. We just want to create useful things for end users, but we are driven by business requirements - not our own desires, or codified professional standards.

I, for one, would love it if there was some way to set agreed-upon software standards with a governing body set up to audit them.

But, it’s voluntary now. You don’t see programmers making the decision to implement certain features… it’s driven by business and management.

BestBuy sells some Windows laptops with 64 GB eMMC. Space is precious on those. Chrome devices often ship with 16 GB; if Microsoft could make Windows viable at that size, they could push the absolute low end prices down a smidge and keep more users.

I get 60 Mbps down and an upgrade would be $50k. Bandwidth is relatively precious to me.
That is actually very clearly what is happening here. This combined with the "unfiltered internet access" claim all clearly points in an obvious direction. Repressive and notoriously paranoid regimes are not in the business of doing something like that out of the goodness of their hearts.

They do however rapidly need to build out and further expand their cyber power because it's one of the few winning strategies they have at the moment and has allowed them to become one of the big players in that space.

Those networks may be "unfiltered" but they are monitored. This entire thing is a giant loyalty test to the party.

You need a way to filter out the "true believers" from everyone who could pose a threat to the future stability of the regime. But nobody who works in or around this space would see anything other than a giant counterintelligence operation happening under the guise of "unfiltered" internet access.
On the other hand… have you considered that your doctor, politicians and scientists may also effected by social media in their professional advice you are supposed to take because they are an authority?

We don’t need to get into all the times doctors have been way wrong. Now those people who might know that are within your ear shot, perhaps a little less than the lunatics who just want to talk shit.

Maybe you are right, maybe it’s not social media but an extreme polarization for another reason and social media is speeding it along? Maybe that’s just what we do over time?

Either way, I can’t accept the appeal to authority you started with. I have personally be on the wrong side of a diagnosis and it’s a good thing I didn’t listen to my doctor in favor of information I discovered first on social media.

Lockdown is different than a pill. Lockdown is more akin to a straight jacket.

A more accurate analogy is only 20% of the population 55 or up is vulnerable to cancer.

Now the government puts everyone in a straight jacket with no end in sight to keep that 20% safe.

Now substitute the word cancer for covid and straight jacket for lockdown.

More people die of car accidents yearly than died of covid in the 80% of the population that is below 55 years old.

The average death from covid is 80 years old with multiple comorbidities.

We appear to be totally fine as a society to let kids kill themselves to save unhealthy old people.
