It's an interesting quandary. one person paying thousands for games for "clout" despite never playing 90+% of them (almost exclusively digital, so of no resale value compared to collecting physical copies), vs. one person paying thousands for a few single games they likely play way too much.

We are taking an open bet: will the vaccine resistant covid strain(s) that are likely to emerge be more/less virulent than Delta or not? I don't have a crystal ball, but given that we know that for <20s the risk of complications from Delta is vanishingly small, why take the bet?
This distinction is disappearing. Internally we have product owners and call new SAAS offerings 'products'. I found this trend difficult to accept yet here we are.

This was never argued by anyone of prominence in the debates on China's WTO accession. Raising living standards through trade was the pitch. The faulty assumption was wealthier Chinese would demand more freedom. That didn't happen.
I think this is just the way Shakespeare wrote, not anything specific to Macbeth's 'creepiness.' I was able to quickly find a similar example in Julius Caesar:

"Then he offered it to him again; then he put it by again; but, to my thinking, he was very loath to lay his fingers off it. And then he offered it the third time; he put it the third time by;"

Or Much Ado About Nothing:

It is not surprising that the way (a way?) articles are used has changed in the last 400 years.
Do you pronounce "authy" and "oathy" the same way? I'd expect "authy" to use whatever vowel you use for "caught", not the vowel of "au revoir".

that's seriously impressive!
If you're doing division and multiplications with fixed point arithmetic and the result must fit in a same size word as the operands, you need to decide for each operation how many fractional bits from each operand you're going to retain in the result.

In other words: you need to understand the range of numbers that you're dealing with every step of the way.

That's not really an improvement...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abductive_reasoning

> [Abductive reasoning] starts with an observation or set of observations and then seeks the simplest and most likely conclusion from the observations. This process, unlike deductive reasoning, yields a plausible conclusion but does not positively verify it. Abductive conclusions are thus qualified as having a remnant of uncertainty or doubt, which is expressed in retreat terms such as "best available" or "most likely". One can understand abductive reasoning as inference to the best explanation.

> In the 1990s, as computing power grew, the fields of law, computer science, and artificial intelligence research spurred renewed interest in the subject of abduction.

Abductive reasoning is basically how one would formally describe 1) the practice of medicine, including diagnosis, 2) the rules for evidence in legal trials, 3) the process for generating hypotheses in science, and innumerable similar activities we undertake daily.

And for obvious reasons there's a close relationship between abductive reasoning and Bayesian statistics.
Because they don't know the words. It's not uncommon for people to want to do things that would be best done with a separate subnet though.

Hmmm.

std::sort is a template in C++. Which means that in most cases, I'd expect std::sort to inline the comparator and not have any function call overhead at all. (And even further: that the optimizer can make optimizations to std::sort + comparator together since they've been inlined)

So you have a good point. Function overhead is in qsort, not in std::sort. The line reads kinda nonsensically to me now that I think of it.

If they want to actually tackle this, they should be focusing on getting everyone in the world vaccinated. As long as we have large populations where this is running rampant, there is lots of places for variants to come from.

Until then, maybe Biden should stop the massive super spreader event at our southern border that's been going on for months.

EDIT: Oh, and maybe focus on vaccinating the people coming across the southern border and enforcing all of the COVID restrictions there that the rest of us have to follow when we travel across the same border.

As someone who wasted a lot of 2018 and 2019 trying to get uncorrupted Democrats into office the problem is that huge swaths of the population in the US have just given up. They are so overworked, barely able to stay above water and cannot get any simple break. Of the ~10-15% of a district that comes out to vote for a primary they always heavily lean towards a known brand unless that incumbent has royally screwed up or did not truly fight for his seat to begin with.

Examples:

AOC (NY-14): Joe Crowley was given the seat through a loophole and because he was THE top dog in terms of his connections to Wall Street, the Democrats would give him whatever he wanted. It took someone like AOC who better represents the community working extremely hard to unseat him. And he lost because he never really understood how to win an election so she ran circles around him.

Cenk Uygur (CA-25): This very red district was won by Katie Hill in an amazing victory only after an enormous amount of voter outreach. She had to build a massive amount of voter recognition very quickly and it was still a tough race. When the election came around to vote her replacement after her resignation, voters went with a party loyalist who had been on the ballot more than 5 times already and had been seen around the district vs someone who had pledged no lobbyist money and aligned with Bernie Sanders. I watched firsthand how we managed to convert Trump and old school Republicans (the Ronald Reagan library is in this district) to be for the policies of Bernie Sanders. In the end, we just couldn't overcome that threshold to convince enough of that 10-15% of the voters to vote for us over the person who was familiar.

There are other stories but they all follow the same format. Crushing losses because these all these districts with 700k people just have such poor turnout for elections. Even elections like 2020 had ~66% turnout and typically it is is mid 50s. So many people just have checked out.

I agree with the author that there will be a reckoning not only for AirBNB but for the rest of the elite. A vast swath of the country is sinking further and further and something will eventually have to give.

But in the meantime, it is not entirely the populations fault. When you whole life has been being lied to by previous politicians eventually you will think the system is too far gone.

The most active Smalltalk inspired community seems to be Pharo.
https://pharo.org

I have avoided calling Pharo "Smalltalk" as it has evolved from the original fork of Squeak and the project is evolving and modifying from its Smalltalk origins.

My personal favorite language that has evolved from Smalltalk is Newspeak. https://newspeaklanguage.org

The current version runs on top of WASM and can be used in a web browser. Gilad Bracha is going some exciting and interesting things with this language.

> I don't think you're suggesting we serialize the entire GUI?

Yup that's exactly what people do in some GUIs. Tons of GUI frameworks and systems rely on varying degrees of defunctionalization and serialization. Microsoft COM and XServer for example. I don't know exactly how granular they get but I believe it's quite granular in what you can do over RPC.

It's a lie, but you only have a second factor if it's true. Your Duo is attempting to deliver what it promises, where Google Authenticator doesn't even make the attempt.

You can extract the secret directly from the app, though, if you have the option to use it as an app.

There is no product. Only fool-finding.
The top speed can be taken as simply relative to a constant wind speed. Say they have a max speed of 30mph heading against the wind at 25mph. The net will simply be 5mph aka super slow.

Gusty wind is more complex as it depends on cumulative drag factor. You can estimate their forward drag by knowledge about the motors they are using (energy -> drag work).

Likely, unless their motors are tiny, the even the forward drag is quite high. This is why their max speed is not something like 300km/h.

TLDR: its just like airplanes only much worse

Not really true. The COVID crash was the fastest crash in modern history, playing out from peak to trough in about three weeks. But even so, you’d have had multiple sessions to get out before the worst hit but denial was strong.

The 1987 crash played out over about six weeks. The dot com bubble burst over the better part of a year. 1929 was about ten weeks from peak to the absolute bottom. But when the selling begins denial takes hold and everyone believes it’s an amazing buying opportunity. Most every crash has begun gradually then accelerated towards the end.

Missiles would get through, then there would be retaliatory strikes, and all those pretty little islands China has been building will get reduced to rubble. China talks a good show, but they've got nowhere near the arsenal the US has, and if China is going to fuck the world's supply chains anyway, I have no doubt their factories and foundries would be destroyed. There's a lot of naval and air power concentrated in that part of the world, and the US doesn't need to worry about the land war in Asia conundrum . Not to mention cyber warfare, and the immediate isolation from the west. The US isn't just a nuclear superpower, it's got an absurdly over-large conventional arsenal.

In Dallas, there's an old joke about the fish in the Trinity River swim backwards so they don't get the water in their eyes.

It always amazes me how there's all of the old black&white film of industrial waste just pouring into whatever water was nearby (river,lakes,etc). However, we know it still happens today, they just get more sneaky about it. Again, in Dallas, a slaughter house was found to be dumping blood and waste into the river by a drone flying over head and the color of the water had an obvious color change to it.
There is a walking animation that applies when someone uses a joystick to move around, but otherwise generally all movement of the avatar is directly driven by the positional tracking of the user. (All VR users have the positions of their hands and head tracked, but some users also have trackers on their waist and feet too.)

There are also a couple people in the video that aren't using VR but are using VRChat in desktop mode. It's pretty obvious because their hands don't move from their sides while standing, their head motions are limited, their body never sways, etc.
Most people take these substances at most a few times a year, similar to going on a travel vacation. You need time to reset and you don't feel like doing it again for a while. This is far less often than the most addictive drug many of us use, caffeine. Would this mean going on vacations is an addiction? Maybe.

This is a book review, and the title of this post is the title of the book. Did you stop there, not read the article and make a gigantically incorrect assumption, or are you willing to explain how this is clickbait?
Unfortunately true, but also not the experience that most people who continue to play the game have with it. Public instances, especially those in popular worlds, are pure cancer. Anyone who has played more than a few hours will tell you. The reason they are so full of screaming kids is because everyone who isn't one has moved elsewhere.

I very very rarely encounter minors, and hanging out with them makes me uncomfortable too, even having thousands of hours played. Sucks that you had a bad experience, the platform can be a completely different experience if you are brought into it by someone who already knows their way around.

A year or two ago, I helped the Cloud TPU team fix an obscure error when creating more than 200 TPUs.

Apparently no one had ever tried to create more than 200 TPUs before (https://battle.shawwn.com/swarm-training-v01a.pdf). I was pretty proud of that.

(As a bonus, I actually wanted to use all 200 TPUs. It wasn't merely a stress test. Big data indeed!)
I noticed the same thing too, I just ended up copying the link and they work just fine.
Total tangent, I used to have the Office 365 subscription but canceled it, yet I can still use word/excel - I've just lost access to the cloud features which I wasn't using to begin with - I would have thought they'd disable my version of word/excel but when I canceled it did not happen.
I agree with you except post-independence in the middle of the 19th and 20th century, the supposedly benevolent West hedged and continue to plunder and usurp Africa and Asia. Values based? Sure, see how rational it is, for you but not for us. We must agree upon universal declarations and you better listen up we know what we're doing.

I have no idea why you think these are `silly ritual flagellations`. Drop everything, the British left the Indian subcontinent in flames. Oh wait, this sounds a lot like Afghanistan. Down vote me for all I care, but if you've not experienced the horror of colonialism and the mess we have to pickup after and fix, with poverty, disease and f_cking IP (TB, Aids, Food Security), and fragile democracy setup to serve external masters, in the presence of evolved men, I respectfully ask you to be empathetic to a lot of voices that still can't be heard. You clearly don't seem to understand the utter s_it some of us and our parents have lived through.

Sure, the awesome Western cultural evolution is grand and something to wait for, who knows what form it will take.
