Something they haven't said yet is that a lot of accessibility features are already a solved problem, or they're commonplace enough that they seem to be. So a big publisher (which is what your parent was referring to) would be able to get them in at low cost, relative to gigantic overall costs of publishing any AAA game. So it makes sense for them to do it to reach everyone they can. And they know people will write articles like this one and bring them publicity, and if not they'll just astroturf one anyway. The author of that article has had at least one other accessibility-related article published on the gaming web recently, so don't assume they're not just on a press junket.

For all developers, your question is more of a question. Should every single game developed by every single type of developer be "accessible"? It would certainly be nice, but must they? Of course not.
X is like trying to fly modern rockets with Apollo-era computers. The computers will work, until they don’t. In which case the only people able to fix them are retired and you have to salvage parts from aerospace museums. Over the years the cruft of replacement parts has accumulated and no one person can really understand the whole thing anymore, and entire sections are not understood and nobody remembers why they’re there or really what they do (but if you get too close to it the lights go off in certain important corner cases).

> If the performance objective is not in a specification then the optimization is not adding value

Very true. I agree 100%.

I only resort to "sculpting" the code for performance when standard code will not meet timing requirements. Sometimes you just don't have the option to increase clock rates or change processors and have to make things work if at all possible.

In general terms, if things are too tight it, it means you are using the wrong processor or should consider going up to a higher speed grade.

That said, I can't tell you how many times I have faced apparent limits that absolutely evaporated by taking detailed control of the low level implementation. The easiest example I can provide was a custom dynamic RAM controller I designed for a Xilinx FPGA. It had a microcoded control architecture necessary for the specific application it targeted.

This particular device (I think it was an XC2-V1000) could not get much past 160 MHz no matter what we did. Compiler optimizations didn't help much past this point.

I decided to hand-wire and hand-place the design. This means locating each logic element by hand and wiring them by hand within the FPGA fabric. If I remember correctly, the hand-placed design could reliably reach 250 MHz. We didn't need to go that fast, I think we backed it down to 200 MHz with the comfort of knowing that we had good margin. It was tested for reliability in a thermal chamber, where it easily exceeded design requirements.

Not doing this would have meant moving up to a more expensive speed grade or an even more expensive member of the Xilinx family. Taking intimate control of the implementation likely saved well over a million dollars over the life of the product.

I have also been at the opposite end of the scale, where you are trying to squeeze the last bit of performance out of a $0.57 microcontroller because the design can't support a $0.75 chip. Sometimes life forces your hand that way.

So little privacy? The first three of my four years in college I had shared rooms; only had a single my senior year. I think that's reasonably common? This is much more privacy than that.

(Lack of windows is much more of an issue from my perspective)
History suggests that the primary ingress/egress points are the only ones worth considering. Emergency doors have a nagging tendency to be obstructed, hidden, barricaded or even flat-out locked even when they're not allowed to be. And that's assuming people will know where they are. When they're half-drunk, half-stoned, half-asleep, and wandering around in a smoke filled corridor at 2:00 am.
Those are factories, so it's a bit different, but I agree with you. In my state every room in a home that could be used as a bedroom or for regular occupancy (ie not a closet) has to have a window large enough to get a person out. For damn good reason.

Are you considering the scale of the building and the lack of access to outside? Imagine, the pod next to your's, deep in the interior of the building with only two entrances/exits, accidentally starts a fire. Or houses a crazy person who keeps defecating in their waste-bin. Just imagine the CO2 levels and lack of oxygen, even without the other environmental issues!

I, too, value communal shared spaces. A giant block with no natural light or fresh air, for $300k per tiny unit, is not the way to do it.
That is to confuse "long tail" with "doesn't matter", though.

If a supermarket doesn't stock goods in the long tail, its customers shop elsewhere.

Dismiss the "long tail" and we wouldn't have champagne in the supermarket, or classical music on the radio.

The idea that somehow the ever-changing nature of Linux is going to stablise into something that satisfies _everyone_ seems misguided. Open source code means diverse groups can, and will decide themselves what's deprecated, and take on maintenance of the things they want to exist.

So such a variation selector would have to be used in front of every individual character? Or could it be applied across a substring, similar to how the text direction is flipped?

Either way this seems to be the most painless "fix" for this given the current situation. Setting a language for the whole text fails as soon as the languages are mixed.

Not wireless, don't care.

Glib but true. Wireless Vs. non-wireless is apples vs. oranges, now that I've experienced apples I want apples and Valve is only currently selling oranges.

Plus you're comparing a "good enough" $300 device to a superior but cost prohibitive $1K device. I feel like people who compare a Valve Index to a Quest really don't get what makes Quest uniquely good to its audience currently.

Nobody is denying that the Index is technologically superior across the board, what I am saying is that the measures we're using are completely different. I consider the Steam Deck a closer comparison than the Index for example.
Surely building codes mandate a comprehensive evacuation design. There are clearly aesthetic complaints many people will have here, but realistically safety shouldn't be a problem. This is simply not a "large" building by skyscraper standards, and those can be built safely.

Observer selection does not eliminate us as evidence for the proposition that life can exist. As for whether it is rare, you added the qualification 'nearby', and while it is true that it is most likely that any extraterrestrial life we detect will be nearby, the post I was replying to was arguing about the universal probability of life coming into existence, not about whether it will be discovered by us.

Furthermore, proponents of an extraterrestrial origin of life on Earth will doubtless argue that nearby life may have had a common origin.

For those not familiar with UCSB, it's basically a beach campus. The campus itself has two beaches located within. The idea of creating windowless dorm rooms in a location blessed with natural ventilation is as dystopian as it is absurd. Further Santa Barbara being located in Southern California, is quite hot much of the year. It's interesting that Charlie Munger is essentially designing dorms for "other people's" grandchildren. There is no way Munger's grandkids would ever have to live in windowless rooms as they would likely be renting houses off campus. NYU in NYC has a similar self-made housing problem - how to grow the business by growing the number of students year or year in perpetuity. And doing so in areas that already have affordable housing shortages for their regular full time residents.
The goal is to get the students out of their bedrooms. There's plenty of common space, and lots of really nice places to go study and socialize out of your bedroom. This is intended to promote real-life socialization, which is the only real reason to go to in-person college these days.

Plus, everyone gets a single!

I’d argue that this is because it’s a failed idea that conflates OO encapsulation, concurrency constraints, identity, serialization, and networking into a behemoth that does none of those things well.
I’d say both yes and no - Apple’s now booming services division (which includes the App Store) only started to produce meaningful revenue and profit after introducing a range of ancillary and subscription services.
Absolutely agree that any change to their business model will be a hit on their revenue - but I believe people may be grossly over stating how much of Apple’s services division profit is coming from that 15/30% share. Running the app store is easily their most costly service and stable users aren’t in the habit of buying apps - but those people sure are paying their monthlies on iCloud/storage and music. (Also not to forget that apple get a cut from every Apple Pay transaction.)

"The USA is so enormous, and so numerous are its schools, colleges and religious seminaries, many devoted to special religious beliefs ranging from the unorthodox to the dotty, that we can hardly wonder at its yielding a more bounteous harvest of gobbledygook than the rest of the world put together."

It looks like Valve is making their own standalone VR headset ,and made Steam Deck along the way to meet minimal amount of orders for custom chip. The chip can deliver 2.5 TFlops if it's clocked like other RDNA2 GPUs, it's almost 2x of Quest 2 GPU performance. Not sure about price though, it will be definitely higher than 300$ of heavily subsidized Quest 2, and I think price will be closer to current "Oculus for Business" offering, which is 800$. Not sure how it will compete with project Cambria.

Border collies train you.

They have the sweetest temperament, though. I was always a lab person until we got a rescue collie, and I just fell in love with them.

They are pure intuition. And they just want to please you and have fun (which for them means working non-stop doing stuff). Their desire to please makes them pretty easy to train, it's just a matter of being consistent, which we are not. But they don't cause trouble in general once they know what displeases you because they really just want your approval so badly.

In the hands of a more qualified trainer, our female would be an insanely talented agility or herding dog. So fast. So attentive. So sensitive.
