Alot of modern arcades actually have unlimited play models or "play as much as you want for X time". They make their money off food/drinks/alcohol.

At least the last few I have been too. I guess people for the most part had decided if you were gonna drop 50 bucks you might as well buy a new videogame and play it at home. The scummy part is the "ticket" games, where you have a chance to win below dollar store grade prizes and exist to waste your game time away from games that have actual game play in them. (ski ball is still fun even if its a ticket game)

Last one I went to it was kind of neat to finally be able to beat one of those old school 90s arcade games that in retrospect had their difficulty tuned to do nothing but eat all your quarters.....
If you want an AWS instance, it's not much more complicated than pick your instance and go. Of course, we're talking about the AWS console here, which is not so easy if you aren't used to it. If you know your way around, then it's about the same as getting anything else AWS. You don't have to deal with licenses at all.

The pricing is really cheap. Looking at the pricing of instances on EC2, I don't know how they get so cheap. I'm sure the answer is in the details if I were to go digging (different hardware) but it's cheap.

I don't think the Asure alternative will be even close. While AWS makes Workspaces easy and affordable for just about any individual, that person is probably still not the target for MS. I'm guessing this new offering is simply the same service as they already offer, for businesses which want systems for less than 100 people, and are still able to dish out a load of cash.

The benefit to Azure is that it's Microsoft. They aren't going to compete on pricing for anything. If pricing is your main concern, then you don't to Azure (or even Google Compute.) If your boss says you have to use Azure, then that's when Azure has the advantage. ;)
> Why should you expect different treatment from Google than Twitter et al.?

Twitter and the US government are well known and are very unlikely to turn rogue (i.e. cash out or sell the app to a shady advertising company). This base trust does not exist for a small, unknown developer.

I can see why this is a bit unfair, but having the same treatment for well-known, trusted entities and first time submitters will lead to either extreme unreliability or a flood of scams.
Cryptocurrency like all right-wing idealism is based on a belief in the supernatural. They preform these ritual calculations and anoint each other with imaginary tokens, claim value has been created and write that off on their taxes, the big difference with crypto over the regular voodoo is that you can actually make money doing it even if you don't believe the fundamentals are sound. You attract the worse of both worlds, the crazy idealists and the complete scam artists and when you get to the core of what crypto is really about those groups are basically the same.

Portable ECMO. Yikes.

Perfusionists typically think ECMO = circling the drain.

Well, let's say "better" :-) There was a Smalltalk with a native Windows GUI (Dolphin) but the developers couldn't seem to make any money out if it.
Conservative lost its meaning, now we just say "republican", with a lowercase r.

Edit- Do conservatives make new government walls, tariffs, new taxes/tax structures, new tax credits, new gun regulations? I even heard an interesting idea, why are conservatives destroying the environment, they shouldn't want the environment to change if they are conservative.

Anyway, the 2020s breed of "conservatives" would be seen as liberals in the eyes of 2000s or 1980s "conservatives".
I tend to think the issue is learning not to trust, not to grant unreserved trust to anything without the ability to either verify personally, or the issue at hand exists in an environment of shared verification, an environment where it is possible if not easy to verify and many do, which they then make public.

In addition, the issue of learning to live with uncertainty, being mature to the degree that unknowable answers and their questions simply set in an unknowable and ripe for exploitation category in one's mind. Grasping the power granted to others when they claim answers to unknowable questions is the true source of evil in this human society.

> Multiple oracles, staking...they solve a fake problem--counting votes--while leaving the real problem--who the oracle(s) is/are and how they make their decision--untouched.

The point is really to not to have an oracle. To be clear, I think this is still an open research problem in crypto, but I expect the solution to be a combination of making it very expensive to lie and to make the rewards that can be obtained through lying worthless. (I won't discuss specific projects here.)

Ofc there are no guarantees that we'll have a solution, but I'm also not aware of any theoretical limitations. The rewards are enormous which drives a lot of experimentation in the space, and hey, who would've thought that we could solve the double spending problem 15 years ago?
I don't think it's fair to compare the users of Twitter's service with Google as a company. Those are two very different groups of people. One are users, one are employees.

I feel it's also worth mentioning, focusing only on the small negative groups of Twitter's public users reminds me of this comic here: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2013-04-07
Honestly I was mostly curious if it would even work, because it sure looks like it ought not to.
That's the playbook there, make the documentary about the program. Would be great! I could see an Exit Through the Gift Shop type of vibe. It has all the elements.

If you look by groups the effect is less. As an example Skoda Enyaq is from Volkswagen AG but it’s naturally not a Volkswagen branded product.

But yeah everyone and their dog is releasing EV’s now.
Facebook users said no to tracking, now advertisers are panicking
$30k isn't cheap imo, the average person would need to take out a loan to go buy an EV. Outside of big cities infrastructure doesn't exist.

Also hauling stuff in an EV, which is where most of the emissions are, isn't even close to feasible yet.

>they’re much simpler to own and maintain

Maintain maybe... own not really https://www.caranddriver.com/shopping-advice/a32494027/ev-vs...

Personally, I have zero desire to sell my gas vehicle which will be perfectly fine for the next 5 years to drop 30k on an EV that won't be able to do as much.

Unfortunately these hacks are very compiler-dependent and can become ineffective with a compiler update. Clang in particular is very stubborn about not emitting cmovs (see https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40027 for example).

In that thread the annotation __builtin_unpredictable() is discussed, which would be a good solution, but it does not support this case yet.

In my code the only reliable alternative I found was inline ASM. Luckily with enough templating you can hide it away.

As a user, I wouldn’t want Google to continue to distribute an app that doesn’t fulfill all their privacy requirements.

As a developer, it’s mildly annoying to have to resubmit. But it’s not exactly the end of the world, is it?

I’m reasonably certain the app stores as middlemen have made life easier for small developers by several orders of magnitude. And part of the reason is that customers trust them. Being rather strict, including measures that may seem harsh to you, the developer, who knows you are a decent person, is probably unavoidable to keep the customers’ trust.
Didnt the designers of popular rpgs like Dragonquest and Final Fantasy admit they added leveling grinds so customers would be outside the allowed return window if they beat it too soon?
* Gun homicide is 44 times less frequent in the Netherlands than in the US: 0.28 / 100K people, per annum in NL, compared to 12.21 in the USA. So, this is much more of an extreme event over there.
> The extremity here is that Peter tried to publically persue heavy criminals, and the criminals just decided to play god and have him killed by some lowly guys (speculating here, but quite confidently). A large part of US/UK shooting statistic probably come from muggings, robberies etc., not the criminal underworld deciding they rule the country.
> That they don't in all cases should concern even regulators.

only if the gov defines it as a monopol.

> Google has to provide a consistent and responsive experience for any company who is using their rather monopolistic marketplace to distribute their app.

If you assume it is not monopolistic, they can do whatever they want and for example prefer bigger clients.
Twitter has certainly done a loooot of harm, but to be fair it has done good as well. It wouldn't have grown like it did if people found no use for it.
What Is Gatsby?
Forever, because HN constantly argues the content of his stupid document while ignoring the fact that he wasn't fired for writing it, he was fired for going all around the company harassing people and waving it in their faces, for months.
Too bad he did a lot of good things I believe. Those gangsters that shot him they are a phenomenon that's relatively new. Criminals did not previously go after lawyers or journalists. Now that has definitely changed.
From another article (since I wasn't caught up to the affairs of the Netherlands):

> Crime reporter de Vries acted as a spokesperson and non-legal advisor for crown witness Nabil B. who is testifying against Ridouan Taghi, the alleged mastermind of the Amsterdam-based group which is seen as one of the Netherlands' largest cocaine distributors.

> Two people close to Nabil B. are already dead, allegedly murdered by Taghi's associates. In 2018, Nabil B.'s brother was murdered in broad daylight in Amsterdam and in 2019 his lawyer Derk Wiersum was gunned down outside his home.

> De Vries' work exposing the underworld has resulted in repeated death threats. Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, where de Vries started his career, says he investigated more than 500 murders. In 2019, the journalist said he was on Taghi's hitlist.
Needing a container (outside of a system publishing reference builds) is evidense of a problem.

The fact that a container is easy today just enables and hides the fact that it's a bit ridiculous to need one for half of the things we now use them for. Same for snap, flatpack, appimage, etc.

Rather than have a handle on my surface and interface with the os, I'll just bundle an os with my calculator app.

All because they're using a newer version of some library that maybe has an extra param on one function to automatically zero-pad or something.

And "they" isn't necessarily the developer of the calculator app but could be the developers of any of the hundreds of dependencies.

We all know all the excuses how we got here. We all know how each individual step along the way has it's excuse. Yet, it's not a great place we got to.
I wish I were making it up. Another comment has posted the video.
I thought you would be exaggerating but searching for "Netherlands" and "narco state" revealed a scarily large number of articles, some of which are several years old already. I wonder how I could have missed that.

I was already aware that the Netherlands had a drug problem in general, both by smuggling via their huge ports and by cartels producing them locally. I had even submitted a map [0] with locations of amphetamine production sites not long ago and most of them are in the Netherlands but the amount of crime that seems to accompany it is frightening.

My general take on Google is not that their policies are bad, but that they’re arbitrarily applied with very little recourse for redress. It is incredibly common for people to have issues with Google products that are only resolved by getting ahold of someone on Twitter. CPGGrey getting banned by YT for impersonating himself comes to mind.
Interesting. In Sweden there is a lot of talk now about liberalizing drug laws to fight organized crime (by taking their market away from them), but this hasn’t worked out for the Netherlands?
To me it's acceptable to both wait for trials to prove the drug is effective, while also continuing to criticize very public figures for peddling it as a miracle drug (a) far before they have evidence to back it up and (b) while we have a widely-available vaccine in my country (US) that people are refusing to take.
Heavy-duty anticoagulants. Don't have a bleed.

The hemolysis must've been insane. I wonder why ECMO pumps aren't always mechanical baffles or a bulb to be easier on the blood. Just playing drums or a riding a motorcycle can lower your ferritin reserves from nuking RBCs in your hands and arms.
As a Dutch citizen I am bit worried about what they will do to obtain an alternative income stream. I am not really harmed by the drug trade.

I would be harmed by robberies on the street or in the home.

C never really fell out of favor, though. And it's also the only available choice apart from assembler in many circumstances. But trying to revive interest in Ada, D, Sather, Prolog, etc would be a lot more difficult.
I once used a very dumb feature flag set up to get around a rule an Apple reviewer told us were breaking, just for review period. The supposed rule violation was around for a year and no one had flagged it except for this one reviewer, and they were clearly interpreting the policy wrong. Easier to make a flag to appease then try and work up the management review chain.

This wasn't malware or anything like that, but goes to show limits of automated review.
I caught a glimpse of the app when an air stewardess sat down next to me on a Delta flight. We had a nice conversation and then she looked me up by seat number and congratulated me on my Delta track record. I believe you could also save notes on each passenger.

I thought that was both pretty cool and also interesting that they all had tons of data on any customer within a few clicks.
Not quite - people could see it on the Play Store and in the app BEFORE login.

After data siphoning has started however, the Privacy Policy wasn't available to the users anymore. Which is... funny.
As stated in the article, the reason that this is happening is because of the increasing demand for animal products, so the forest is cleared for cattle and soy, most of which is used as feed for livestock.

When we read daunting articles like this and feel a sense of panic or urgency, there is at least one small thing we can do to prevent this issue from worsening: eat as few animal products as possible, which should ideally be none. It has a real effect, and is (in almost all cases) trivial to start.
That looks nice. It must have some major drawbacks? Sounds too good to be true…
In general and not talking about the Linux kernel, you would be surprised how much enterprise code, written is C, is susceptible to basic buffer overflows from the 90s.

Specially because the people that wrote it use basic C coding patterns and tooling from the 90s.

Or do you think the 70% comes all from highly technically hard code to exploit?
And what most people miss is that the biggest crime organization in each country is the State and its agencies.
It would not be hard to substantiate the existence of both apps, the pilot's expenditures, nor the fact of those meetings.

As a senior devloper, I would disagree with you. It's true there are things you learn im a professional environment that you don't learn doing side projects, but the reverse is also true: ina professional context you often have to do things quickly, take shortcuts for speed, choose technologies and techniques you already know in order to reduce risk. In side projects you can slow down, do things properly learn things the hard way.

I'd say 40 - 50% of my value as an engineer comes from side projects , many of which I did before I'd even had a dev job.
What else do you expect from companies in tyrannical communist dictatorships like California?
Even if it's true, so what? Is it illegal in America to borrow ideas?

It reads like selling the idea of an umbrella to a wet guy in the rain, and then suing him when later he refuses to pay.
From what I read in the past the lining of the lumens is in some flavour of frictionless material. They also generate faster and continous flows (there is no actual pulsing).

The physical layout will likely be designed to avoid turbulent flow.

Also I am not certain but they will probably put the patients on blood thinners to have some margin.

Large-scale manufacture and trade in drugs is still illegal in the Netherlands. The retail coffeeshops are tolerated, but they all still have to buy from criminals.

Both. Ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you all about the hangry, but at the same time I often experience cravings to eat even after overeating.

But in the end I don't think it matters for what I'm saying: people never used to have to count calories, and now they do. Something has changed. It might be that the food is much better, more addictive, more advertised, cheaper, easier, etc. Point is, it isn't just a matter of being deluded about calories, we are driven to consume more than we need by something.
I'm in the southern USA, paid the $100 several months ago, and they still tell me "Starlink is targeting coverage in your area in mid to late 2021." ...

Demanding some level of fairness in specific well thought out regulation is exactly the solution to a lot of these problems. It's a tried and true method of reeling in bad actors and imposing some checks and balances.

Realistically, no you can't expect to get the attention of Twitter, but officially it must be the case that they have to at least give real effort to maintaining some measurable level of equality amongst customers.

The actual question is why Google or Apple's App Store is special? Why can a bank pick and choose who they give loans to but the app walled gardens are in the wrong. I think we probably have the same general idea about this question, but I don't have a really solid answer.

Anyway, I feel compelled to rebel a bit, so just remember kids. Fuck the system, don't be polite, and fight for what you know deep down is right.

This talk goes into many anti-patterns, but he gets to the real problem with SQL, that it is ONLY a DSL and lacks either an API or a fundamental information model to program against. Composability when working with a DSL is a nightmare.

I also have been moving away from ORM to directly writing SQL, but lets be honest about the reasons that programmers are wary of working directly with SQL as they are legitimate issues.
Something people don't think about enough is the exponential effects of this kind of disaster. None of these effects are reversible - once the carbon and heat are in the atmosphere, they stay in our atmosphere. Which makes disasters such as category 5 hurricanes and 500 year floods more and more likely in the coming days.

It might feel foreign to a lot of us, but looking at primary school kids lessons recently, they don't take any "notes" proper. They get prints, and go through the concepts one by one writing on white boards and rewriting mindmaps node by node to see how much they remember.

They still have to write a lot, but outside of the white board stuff it's mostly small essays.

Same way as I don't think we're taking full notes when going to seminars, as we get the slides and potentially full recordings of the talks. We'll right down pointers to core concept we might want to get back to again later, but at no point we're writing down as a learning exercice or to persist whole blocks of info. At least that's my experience.
