Online chat has been a staple for multiplayer PC games for ages now.

Since when has a company been held accountable on a meaningful scale for what happens in chat? (No doubt in my mind that what’s said in chat is called out especially if users aren’t banned)

Sure you might get statements like X community is toxic, but that normally stems from more problems then just the game chat of said community.
Consider it in the context of a framework like React. The type of setState() is defined as Partial<State>. The framework cannot just copy paste the type definition with properties set to optional, since the state type is defined by the user and specific for each component. Without type helpers there would be no way for a framework to define the type for setState().

I'm not sure how often you would need type helpers in application code, for frameworks and libraries they are a godsend.

Your argument is a bit like saying we don't need parameterized types like Array<T> because you can just copy paste the code for each type.
Seems to be a good move to make the game more enjoyable.
Not sure if this is a smart move businesswise.

As recent events suggest, FB keeps engagement up through negativity.

Maybe the tilt, strong emotional ups and downs, etc are a big contribution to what makes LoL so engaging?

But I guess riot has some data on this.
In some Eastern European country they know that politicians are lying to them and are pocketing money. They do not even try to hide it. They even admitted it! What changed? Nothing. It is still an on-going issue and no one does anything.
So ... the free market approach doesn't work, government intervention, leadership, and subsidy is necessary?
>New ways of wasting energy in maximum comfort, all around.

"Over the course of 267 miles (430 km) and 8 hours, the car used 2.6 miles/kWh (23.7 kWh/100 km), bearing in mind that those miles were all driven in Germany and include running at the car's top speed of 140 mph (225 km) on derestricted autobahns."

ie. around 100 mpg. It is not even close to "waste", it is saving the planet in maximum comfort.
Here's the deal as I picture it... As the platform moderator you can either moderate and have something that's acceptable banter but it'll cost a lot of money to moderate, it'll give players a feeling of being nannied, and no matter your decision you'll constantly be called out either as too repressive or too permissive or both at once. Alt: you can censor everything. Congrats trolls, you won.
Lmao you're the exact reason they're turning off all chat. The most fun you've had in the game is tilting other people in all-chat. AKA being the keyboard warrior you claim to bring out in other people. Bye.
Copper 3D printing: the ultimate guide
If a test workload goes wrong in an interesting way, someone would very likely want to ssh there to poke around. If the poking extends to ~24 hours later, it is bound to get brutally interrupted. The worst part, there is no easy way to avoid it. (Well, one could shut it down and start again to reset the 24-hour timer, but that is cumbersome comparing to removing a `shutdown` line from crontab of a spot instance.)
Why do you think it isn't? There are definitely developers that can't stand working from home all the time.

Businesses did sell their stock. But the distribution lines to businesses rapidly collapsed due to lack of demand (or not in the case of essential businesses), and it wasn't viable to keep them open to just distribute commercial toilet paper.
That article isn't the end-all take on communication methods in confucian societies, I'd say.
"Speak out" is still the applicable term in Japan, even if over there, it might be making a certain facial gesture or positioning of the body on part of the Emperor that does the speaking. Everybody raised in that culture will understand it.
Often, it's more. Like not supporting an idea vocally is tantamount to heavy criticism.
Or: you must be vaccinated to go to school, AND you must go to school (until you turn into an adult). This means that you have no choice. Not getting vaccinated means you cannot go to school, and not going to school means you may be taken away from your family, or your parents getting into legal trouble. That, and of course not being able to go to school has its own repercussions.
Just kinda ruins the game, which makes people not want to play.

People get really aggressive when they built their identity around “being good at x”. So if you’re their teammate and you make a decision that they think is wrong, they see you as losing the game for them (even if you think it was right).

Same as sports, but you’re generally playing with random anonymous people online that changes every game, so there’s no incentive for long-term teamwork or relationship building.

Imagine playing casual pick-up basketball in the park on a team of 5, and you try one play that doesn’t quite work, and your teammates first reaction is to go “Wow you must really suck at basketball to try that!” Or: “Go home and quit, dumbass.” You’d probably feel a little bad, but also just never want to play with that group again. Now imagine 70% of all basketball games you try to play have people yelling at you like that. You’d probably just quit trying to play basketball.

There are also some really friendly people in these games (I always tried to be someone who shuts down the mean people), but the problem is that eventually the friendly people just don’t want to play your game at all anymore because of so many negative interactions.

They obviously want to grow the number of players, so having a reputation of a horribly toxic community makes people avoid the game, which is bad for profits (and the non-toxic players).

Not sure how much this change will help, because the bigger source of toxicity is a player’s own team. But it still could be a good step towards trying to fix their image.

Ask HN: What are the REAL pros and cons of Cloud Computing?
I am almost finished with a higher education course in computer science and I figured in half of the subjects I took they asked me at one point to explain the pros and cons of cloud computing. I was wondering if I can get some real examples of this from the experts ;)
I also have serious doubt about those who took the vaccine now. Would they have ratted on Anne Frank after a similar propaganda campaign that made them take the vaccine?
> Maybe if we remembered that some of these unfortunates had more to their lives than being anti-vax, we could be a bit more compassionate

Schadenfreude plays a big part for sure! From what I can tell though the fact that these people have families that love them and children that depend on them isn't lost on the subreddit. It just makes people more angry at them for not taking the simple steps that would have saved their lives and spared a lot of needless suffering. When you have people pridefully hurting everyone around them it's going to cause some resentment. They don't just leave their families with emotional grief and guilt they will carry for the rest of their lives, but also with massive amounts of financial debit due to medical expenses which would be unheard of in other developed nations. That too is usually something of a self-inflicted wound.

I don't agree with the gleeful hateful comments, but I can easily see how compassion is starting to wear very thin. I also wish we had more of a view into ICUs and what goes on in hospitals and funeral homes. I don't know how to do that while still respecting the privacy of the people suffering though.
I've changed my mind on plastics. It's not really the plastics that are the problem. It's that nations without good garbage infrastructure are using them, and using them for single use objects. Most of the plastic pollution comes from Asia. The Philippines for example.

The best way to tackle plastic pollution is to properly dispose of it. Not even recycle, just collect it and stop dumping it into rivers.
Functions with compiled code referring to address offsets in the closure environment are not printable and I’d hazard to say they can’t be without compromising something else. The function being purportedly serialized is already in a representation very far removed from its source code, and has mutable state that isn’t just from its closure environment. LOAD-TIME-VALUE (in Common Lisp) is another problem that allocates something akin to a C ‘static’ variable. Compiler macros (in Common Lisp) also make things hairier. Lack of run-time representation of reader macros (in Common Lisp) are the cherry on top—though this is only an issue if you want your serialized representation to mimic the source code closely.

Lists do have issues of sharing data with other lists, but most times the lists that are sharing data are somehow adjacent to one another allowing the printer to collect shared references.

If we allow ourselves the freedom to ignore shared closure environments, L-T-V and other Common Lisp complications, then serializing a function would still be this very expensive recursive procedure to serialize all transitive callees to capture any possible shared state, and I think that is too much to ask for, especially in the context we are speaking (making functions appropriate objects to be printed as a part of an S-expression).

It’s all doable if everything is slow, interpreted, and first-class though. Or maybe you’re serializing FORTH words. :)
Exactly. Or not making a statement at all when you're expected to address something.
That's why American visitors like the guy above you are often so lost in Japanese culture, they can't "read the air".
Facemask usage is common in Asia mostly due to air pollution, especially in places like China or South-East Asian countries.

Postgres jsonb + redis_fdw = you can JOIN your structured Postgres data against your unstructured app-layer Redis data. Not a good idea to write any code that does this—just move the Redis data into the DB, for crying out loud—but for BI use-cases where you’re writing one-off SQL queries and you need presentation-layer data that lives in Redis, it’s perfect.

> Why is there no money to be made?

Because we don't really know how much hardware costs anymore. Most hardware you buy is subsidized in one way or another through data collection, from phones to TVs. Building stuff is very capital intensive, and the world changes very rapidly. And most people don't really care about data collection because they don't understand the consequences, or they don't care at all (which I find baffling). This means you'll be always facing cheaper competition. It's very hard to keep a company like that afloat.

You only climb mount improbable, you don’t go down it
Perhaps some are fitted an iron plate under, make them work with induction.
I think the incentives wouldn’t work out. Capitalism and private enterprises only work well when there is a healthy amount of competition —- a fantastic example is consumer electronics, which has tons of competition leading to rapid tech development and cheaper devices. Just think of how cheap a 4k TV is compared to 5 years ago. A bad example is healthcare, which has very little competition, which leads to extremely high costs.

Capitalism simply cannot work towards society’s benefit when competition doesn’t force prices to be cheaper for higher quality products.

If roads were private, I really do not think different companies could compete for better service. Your home will only attach to a single road after all. The consistency of road design and laws across the US is a huge win as well; that could be problematic if it was privatized.

Over time, monopolies would also develop. We see this with ISPs all the time: you have a single provider in a region, and prices are very high relative to the very poor service. It’s very easy to imagine one road company purchasing all roads in a region and having complete price control, driving costs up without making service better. And probably avoiding maintenance.

Eventually, citizens would probably get tired of roads being privatized and have the government make them public again.

On the flip side, with driving being much less convenient, maybe people would look into more efficient modes of transportation!
And pasting only evaluates the first form, so copy-pasting larger examples is... tedious.
Contents of a commit is not a patch, it's the whole tree. The got ui presents it as a patch, but that's generated at runtime by the "git diff" command.
It does internally use delta compression to save storage space, but it's not necessarily a straight delta between a commit and its direct ancestor (and that's just an internal optimisation).
LoL is likely the game that I played the most in the past decade. And one of the first things I would do after joining a match is disabling chat. I'd be in discord with friends talking about other stuff. The amount of trolling, name calling, hate and insults in the game is just on another level. It also seems to be one of the main reasons why some people leave the game behind. Am I glad that chat was disabled? Yes in the current state of the game I am, still sad that it had to be done.
This. The officials dig up a scientific story that justifies going along what their electorate among the public demands, then they back up with a cohort of white coats on TV.

Simon says we don’t have masks, so science finds masks useless.

Simon says wear masks, so science finds masks important.

It says “We’ll lie to your face just for the lols”. Also, my government inoculated AIDS to 10,000 patients in 1985 and took 6 years to admit it. This science, is not science. It’s very diligently pruned for political profit, and it works.

So “I’ll take my vaccine in 6 years” is a reasonable answer in a former communist state.
The conclusions presented in the article seem a bit far-fetched. The article only mentions "upticks in charcoal particles (suggesting large fires had been burning)" and a presence of a "compound is typically found in the feces of livestock, such as cows and sheep".

Given that large fires do occur naturally and don't require human intervention, it sounds quite a leap to jump from that onto "humans did it".
Which banks provide a device?
Electric cars are heavier, yes. And its easier than ever to get mad power out of electric motors. And it still will be more efficient than literally all ICE powered SUVs. In fact, the power figures are irrelevant IMO, as electric motors scale with demand a lot better. It is incredibly hard to make a reliable ICE that will be incredibly efficient and also capable of big power, but with electric motors, the only downside of having a lot of power is that the whole package probably needs a bigger battery.
Alas, we - the audiobook people - are left without a recourse.
The roadmap has always been: ITER, DEMO [1] and then PROTO [2].

"DEMO refers to a proposed class of nuclear fusion experimental reactors that are intended to demonstrate the net production of electric power from nuclear fusion." [1]

So indeed the road is long, and ITER is not DEMO, and DEMO is not PROTO. I've read a lot of good arguments against ITER, but ITER not being DEMO is not one of them.

By the way, just to be pedantic: ITER will not actually generate 0.57 of what's put in. It would only generate 0.57 of what's put in, if someone bothered to hook a generator to it. But since no generator will be hooked, it will generate exactly 0 Watts of electricity. Generated heat will simply be dissipated away. To be net positive in production of electricity, EU DEMO is expected to have a Q of 25...

To me this seems PR organised. He is/was on the "good guys" list. For me the only thing Bezos is going to achieve, is to empirically prove how far can selfishness (an other adjectives) travel.
Pro: You don't need to own or manage hardware. This also means that capital expenditure becomes operating expenditure.
>It is not even close to "waste", it is saving the planet in maximum comfort.

It's less wasteful than the ICE equivalent but in no way can it be described as saving the planet. If you are really serious about saving the planet then you buy a bicycle.
The better question is why does the law allow PayPal to deny service to anyone? Payments are a basic building block of society. You shouldn’t be able to cut off someone’s ability to freely transact if what they are doing is constitutionally legal - it is that fundamental. Unfortunately we have a small number of oversized companies like PayPal (and Visa and MasterCard and Stripe and so on) that are in a position where they can decide who has freedom (to speak, act, sell, etc) by controlling who has the ability to transact easily. We saw Visa and MasterCard shutdown Wikileaks ten years ago, and now we are seeing PayPal do it to others. Like social media companies, we need to treat payment services (and other financials) as regulated utilities, because they face limited competition due to network effects and because they are such a basic part of modern society. We need bold politicians to update our laws accordingly and enforce it.
"Gluten free, intermittent fasting" are pseudoscience health trends and trying to strawman them as "eating healthy" is disingenuous.

It should be what the other commenters are already using: "/all chat". Definitely not "all chat".
I do really wished that my school wasn't strict and I'm allowed to tinker with my ideas in my school.
I'm not sure what exactly you're proposing. LoL chat is not a server-wide communication channel, it's a separate chat within each of thousands of games running at the same time. I can't imagine an efficient way to moderate all this without just relying on reports. And reports give insight into the complete chat history within that game. Not quite enough for all situations, but definitely not out of context.

This is chat in countless 10-player-games, not some Battlefield server that runs 24/7 with 64 players where moderation/admins in realtime actually make sense.
Agreed - I'm in the process of moving hundreds of Java Lambdas into a Spring application running in ECS. It costs more to run, but I get flexibility with the scaling parameters and I can more easily run my application locally too. I'm still stuck on AWS but less so than with Lambda.
Paranoia is not the problem. The problem is general hostility and not being open to other viewpoints and ideas. Also I feel some kind of power hunger, which makes me feel really uncomfortable surrendering basically full control over my phone to these people.
I guess maybe they don't want to be dragged to a congressional hearing where they'd be shown a bunch of screenshots that'll look extra offensive out of context and have to explain to senators why they're not doing more to protect players' mental health from bullying, toxic comments, dehumanizing etc
There is another element alluded to in the article, which is to communicate uncertainty of outcomes.

There is a large segment of the population - and I'm assuming the size can vary by country - who do not deal well with uncertainty and will latch onto a person giving a clear and uncertain message, even if factually incorrect.

I am not advocating Java the language and it's shortcomings are really the topic of another thread. I am also not seeking to understand algebraic effects starting from Java, I've read the original Eff paper and would encourage others to do so. I raised them only as an example of a form of type checked effect that is already in widespread use.

Wikipedia article on Shogun[1] has a nice quick summary on pre-modern Shogunate system. It’s similar to British constitutional monarchy in a sense: the emperor was to delegate all power to the government and was to remain within instructions and supervisions of the government.

If you saw any form of antibody-dependent enhancement, signals would be far spread now, considering how much viral spread is occurring...

> However, using monkey and mouse models of SARS-CoV-2 infection, none of the in vitro infection-enhancing Abs enhanced SARS-CoV-2 virus replication or infectious virus in the lung in vivo. Three of 46 monkeys had lung pathology or bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cytokine levels greater than controls. However, repeat studies with dose ranges of in vitro enhancing Abs did not increase lung pathology. Thus, in vitro infection-enhancing RBD and NTD Abs controlled virus in vivo and was rarely associated with enhanced lung pathology. [1]
