Agreed. IMO StackOverflow would be greatly improved if they implemented a rule barring these responses unless they first answer the actual question at hand.

To build off of another user's example, answering

>"If I eat pizza in the morning, why does it taste metallic?"

with

>"Because of a chemical reaction due to blah blah blah... which raises the question- why are you eating pizza for breakfast anyways? Avocado toast is superior for <reasons>"

Would be far more productive of a response for both cohorts of users; those searching for the direct answer and those searching for a better solution of what to have for breakfast.
You think she’s blacklisted now?
It still seems crazy to me that the CDC has the authority to interfere with contracts between citizens regarding tenancy.

The right way to deal with this issue is via the lawmaking process. If they want to extend the moratorium, they can do it at anytime, they just have to go through the process.
A backend dev may argue that the frontend is complicated _unnecessarily_. You don't need your bloated, complicated frameworks. In most cases, website would be better for the end user if you stopped trying to over-design the frontend.

Frontend is hard so we use lots of frameworks which makes frontend hard so we use some more frameworks.....
Is there any way to break the stranglehold of large studios and enable smaller studios to build high quality games? I loved Blizzard back when they made their OG triad (Diablo, Warcraft, Starcraft) now it just seems indistinguishable from…EA. How can we enable more scrappy Blizzards?

They literally made the GPLv3 because they cared about that very much.
Yes! I concur wholeheartedly, and I regret that I have but one upvote to give. To contribute something, here is RFC 3724, "The Rise of the Middle and the Future of End-to-End: Reflections on the Evolution of the Internet Architecture":

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3724.html
Whether or not it's Google's fault depends on how much you attribute the development of the advertising-driving distraction factory internet to Google's business. We can debate whether or not Google was ever really in the search engine business – certainly at one point the search was a useful tool. Today, Google search is a sort of glorified Yellow Pages*. Their main product is selling ads in this Nouveau YP. The results their search engine returns are now heavily skewed towards revenue-generating sites. Such sites may incidentally be informative, but they are generally selling something.

Edit: see this other HN story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27993564

This is not to say that all search results are bought, although of course those are present now, too. But overall Google presumes that whatever the user is searching for, the best result is one where the answer is "buy this thing".

For those search results that don't lead directly to commercial products, the revenue generation is indirect: through the collection of user preferences and activity, Google can refine its search results towards maximizing revenue. At the very least, the result is likely to be a site that has ads, some of which generate revenue directly for Google.

*In the old-fashioned Yellow Pages book, you couldn’t really “search,” but there was an index by category. It had many of the issues inherent in categories, but it didn’t take an expert to find things. Google search eliminates the needs for anyone to understand a taxonomy of businesses.

Brendan Eich created the language in 10 days. Think about the billions of dollars and billions of man-hours that have spent related to a language not designed and slowly gained userbase, or scholarly, but a guy with a job. One guy. One guy in 10 days decided the fate of the internet. That's crazy.

Would that require generating 2^n models or can models be combined?
Cars are somewhat taken for granted in their ability to work in a wide temperature gamut, so I think improving extreme cold performance is something needed to make sure they stay on par or outperform internal combustion engines.

As well, heavy industries around the world are looking at ways to electrify their fleets of vehicles working in remote sometimes extreme weather sites. This includes mining sites and marine operations, even consider that airplanes are an eventual target for EV.

Also, charge speed is would surely be the number one gripe for EV ownership, range and performance is pretty much comparable to modern ICE but charge speed, not even close.

I've played a fair amount of Dwarf Fortress and I'd never describe it as 'easy to start'? The learning curve is notorious and for most people involves watching a lot of YouTube tutorials and copying actions.

Yeah sure, but for someone who's workflow started 20 years ago without Git, it shouldn't be at all surprising that they kept not using Git for a long time.

There's really no reason to be surprised at all about this unless you're the kind of person who never did any programming before, like, 2010 and lack the imagination or knowledge to understand how programming could be done without it.

Our own encrypted communication is indistinguishable from noise, save for the initial handshake, which represents a detectable pattern, but mostly because we happen to already have the full specification of the protocol handy.

Additionally, entanglement can't be used for FTL communication, classical channel or not. So this, combined with the fact you don't need any quantum level mechanics for hidden communication that looks like noise... I'm unsure what the author is proposing and where that idea came to them.
The US government has historically conducted quite a bit of experimentation on broad swaths of the population [1], not just your favored marginalized groups. So it sounds like "Karen" is perfectly justified in her skepticism.

I just don't understand how the government postponed evictions without paying landlords. Can you just tell people they don't have to work while forcing companies to pay employees? Etc it's just bizarre. I feel for the people who needed these protections, but also recognize the people on the other side of the coin who have mortgages, utilities, etc.
I recommend Godot ( https://godotengine.org/ ). It solves many of the problems you suggested.
I made no claim that unintended / long term / latent / difficult-to-grasp concerns can be accurately predicted. Difficulty of demonstration does not mean "less likely to occcur".

However the more common issue is that they're simply entirely ignored or dismissed, often with quips similar to the one you've used here.

Typically by those who are unwaveringly optimistic about the intended, manifest, short-term, and easily-grasped aspects of phenomena or interventions.
This is more of a tangent, but I found this framing very interesting:
> which keeps software free but allows users of the software to do what they want with it pretty much including putting in devices that are locked down - cars / tivo's etc

The FSF considers the user to be the one using cars/tivo's/other devices. In their view, this was a design flaw of gplv2 that it allowed locking out end-users of their devices.

For Linux this was not the case. The important part that modifications/extensions were shared (and maybe even upstreamed), while the end user access wasn't important.

The case of tivoization fractured the interest between the mostly moral "I want freedom for the end user" and the more immediately benefical "If you use my code, I want reciprocity for modifications".

I personally believe that today the latter case won, even for a lot of non-gpl software that gets lots of contributions e.g. via github for lots of different reasons, but the moral case gets more dire.

Looking at security for older (or shockingly often even current) devices, right to repair and lots of other issues concerning the effective loss of rights with more modern devices, the concerns of the FSF were often accurate, but with the increasingly hostile approach to "proprietary" IP and thus the exclusion of GPLv3 and similar licenses not palatable to the larger open source community.

The approach to IP in china is also sometimes a lot different, see https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=4297.

The beginner textbooks I've used have accompanying CDs, and also audio available on their websites. The best beginner listening practice is to focus on minimal pairs so that you can start to hear the difference between different sounds that originally sounded the same. Some textbooks include this (I remember having to combine initials and finals in Chinese with my teacher)

For speaking, Duolingo speech recognition isn't very good and is not going to provide specific feedback for improving your pronunciation. I'm not even a fan of practicing pronunciation virtually with a live tutor. I have found in person pronunciation practice to be very valuable compared to doing the same thing but online. A textbook doesn't solve this and neither does Duolingo.
Plenty to criticize Tesla and Elon about, to be sure, but a lot of Elon's predictions have turned out to be true at least when it comes to passenger vehicles. What they've done with the EV market for consumers is nothing short of remarkable. Obviously Solar and Semi are a different matter.

Tesla was run by a technical founder (Stanford PhD pedigree fwiw) that knows his shit (though a bit crazy and prone to exaggeration and hyperbole) and the company has some of the best engineers in the world employed there.

Nikola was founded by a dude with zero technical background who as far as anyone can tell had no serious engineering expertise in-house. He even hired his brother--a guy who used to install carpets--to run Nikola's hydrogen infrastructure.

These two companies aren't even in the same league imo
Sorry I don't understand your comment, can you expand on it?
I'm not much of a game programmer, but lurk /r/gamedev. The common advice is to start small - think toys rather than MMOs. From there, it's said one should follow what they're interested in, and focus on follow-thru, not tacking on features to their dream game that is supposed to compete with Skyrim. Console development is always going to be more trouble than the more open platforms of computers and phones. Myself, I've always thought it'd be pretty fun to make a menu-heavy game with just web technology, which then of course CAN be played anywhere.

There are lots of engines out there that can take care of things for you, or act as full fledged studios, like Game Maker. Some prefer to start from scratch of course. Again, the idea should be follow what you're interested in so that you can actually get something done.
Does anybody know if the functionality mentioned in the "One final note" — having all children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc. of a designated "main" process reliably terminated when that "main" process terminates — is available via something more lightweight than the containers?

Traditional process groups/sessions are laughably inappropriate for this purpose since breaking out of them is trivial and in fact, about half of applications that internally use worker (sub)processes do exactly that, in order to (re)implement their own job control.

I will generally defend the right of everybody to wear more or less whatever they want (I'm a t-shirt and shorts kinda guy) but I find that this particular youtuber goes out of her way to gain viewership through stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with the primary topic of the videos. Personally, I find it distracting from the content (and her content is often interesting), but then again, I prefer videos of autistic woodworkers who rarely if ever talk (https://www.youtube.com/c/OlivierGomis/videos).

I would say the same thing if it was a hunky guy in a bathing suit doing CNC. Either way, youtube should not demonetize her videos for dressing the way she does.

I agree with the spirit of your post, but Dwarf Fortress and Easy to Start do not fit in the same sentence in my opinion. I mean, the game is legendary for it's arcane user interface and the vast number of things that can go wrong even for experts.

Dwarf Fortress is something like vim, where usually on the first interaction people don't even know how to start the game, let alone do anything in it.

Chess is easy to start, the rules fit on a post it note basically. Dwarf Fortress is difficult to start, and even more difficult to master.

As it relates to evictions due to non-payment, i think this is overstated. There are plenty of programs specific to Covid alone, there was the federal money, expanded and extended unemployment, and programs to pay back rent. The NY one, for example, comes with a condition you can't evict due to non-payment for a year.

That's all on top of 'the usual' government assistance, HUD, HEAP, etc.

Some tenants leveraged these programs and they won't be evicted. The ones who saw this as 'free money' and an opportunity to 'fuck those evil landlords' will be.

Many environmentalists have been wrong about nuclear power and nuclear industry, and still are. That doesn't really make the opponents of environmentalism any more right.

If the opponents had focused on pointing out e.g. contradictory or irrational goals (e.g. nuclear power) or on genuinely questioning environmentalist claims without having an agenda of their own, you could say they were right in some cases. But that certainly doesn't describe most of the opponents of environmentalism, and definitely not the staunchest ones.
> Accepting both a numerical user id and a username string is a very valid scenario. However, I believe you should handle that by explicitly trying to parse it as a number, not hoping that automatic coercion will do the right thing. It's just a footgun waiting to go off.

This is why many people recommend questioning the use of basic or naked types. Details vary between the language, but this should be a type UserID with a UserID::from(String) and maybe a UserID::from_symbolic_name(String) and everything but some edge code should work on UserIDs. This makes code easier to read, too.

I wonder how this plays out.

Say I'm renting out some units and folks are many months behind... but they can pay for this month, and they are working and so on? Is it worth my time to evict them and get 0? or work something out?

I'm sure plenty of places would go for eviction but we'll see.

> Nice. Hopefully that will lead to some nice wrong-compile bug reports.

FTFY.
yes, I compiled with -msimd128 to enable LLVM's auto-vectorization. I distribute both SIMD and non-SIMD, and the entrypoint picks whichever distribution your browser supports. for box2d-wasm, SIMD acceleration resulted in a 0.6–0.9% performance boost [0] when simulating a pyramid of boxes.

liquidfun-wasm is a fork with additional algorithms for performantly simulating particles. I have not yet built a benchmark to measure the particle code, but do intend to. I am optimistic that liquidfun's particle code could auto-vectorize better than the general Box2D code.

the Google engineers considered how to take advantage of SIMD, to the extent that they even ship a NEON SIMD algorithm[1]. I don't believe my compiler config will use that NEON algorithm (and will instead fallback to the general algorithm [2]). that's probably not a missed opportunity; many NEON features are not supported[3]. but since the engineers were thinking about SIMD, hopefully the non-NEON algorithm will try to make good use of the CPU and memory layout too, and auto-vectorize well.

CDC has extreme powers to do things like indefinitely detain an infectious person or even do large scale quarantines. The tenancy issue is surprisingly mild by comparison.
