I think this is typical of one-playthrough stuff.

You'll be so concerned with adapting your brain to the mechanics and artificial limitations on a semi-real-appearing world (cue Zero Punc's knee high fence stalwart joke), do you have time for any story of complexity?

If a game is good, you'll play through twice. THEN if they're really good, you'll pick up more of the story, especially easter eggs if they are competent.

RE: edgy cred, yeah, that's still the maturation of the market. The problem with video games still remains the catering-to-teenager previous two decades. It's like any large budget or worthwhile game was all shonen manga. And really it still has that core.

Video games will eventually branch out. I bring up manga, because I think games in Japan have always been more about characters, plot, and complexity, and had more offball ones.

The characters in American games are still pretty crappy. Consider that DOOM and Halo are headed by... generic McToxicMale-SchwartzeneggerPredator-In-A-Helmet. All the other shooter games were stuck in the same rut.
They were also often prefixed with "80" until the 486, before the first of them, because they all came from the 8086, which was the first of the successor line of the 8080 CPU (or rather its 8 bit bus sibling 8088 was).

After that came the 80186, which was not used in IBM compatible PCs (but in non-compatible ones) because it was more of a microcontroller and came with integrated but incompatible peripherals (like an interrupt controller). The CPU itself was still compatible, though.

So were 80286, 80386, 80486 and everything after that. They all added stuff obviously, often massively, but they still all can run 8086 software. Though I've lost track of what's happening with Intel CPU as of recently, I just have some dim and unreliable recollection that real mode might finally have been removed altogether, not sure.

> So, this requires the author, and by extension, taxpayers in most cases, to pay a couple of thousand to ACM to put a pdf online. How does this make sense ?

Tangential, though at a recent SIGPLAN conference, the cost to authors to licence under CC-BY was listed at 400USD. In place was "The article processing charge (APC) is to be paid anyway for all PACMPL articles, and ACM SIGPLAN covers it if you cannot afford it. Your paper will be open access no matter which kind of publishing-rights agreement you choose.".

That said, from what I can tell, most of the main programming languages conferences have far better systems and communities in place than many other fields (a lot of open access, double blind reviews, etc.).
I'm guessing that's the St. Michael's Alley in Palo Alto? It's still there if that's the one - pretty nice Italian restaurant. I think the Java building was originally 156 University Ave so it would have been down the street.
That's right. Just what you said, that is right. :-)
And I guess all the people that prove otherwise are just “outliers” right? There is a non-zero amount of people without privilege that contribute their success to psychological factors whether you like it or not.

IMO P2P requires a completely different mindset compared to SaaS backend development. P2P is really more similar to desktop development. You won't be operating your app so you have to make it much simpler and more robust to run (NoOps). You won't have any PaaS or cloud provider services available. You have to tolerate version skew. You should optimize each copy for low scale (e.g. imagine a dozen apps running on a RPi).
Of course. We make miniature working models, powered by coal and steam. If you just meant the weirder types of loco, then yes to that too - someone will be making one. Turbine locos are not unknown and the Model Engineer magazine has had a long series on turbines in general going for a while now.

3D printing is only used for dummy detail parts. We mostly can't afford the type of printing required to make working bits. Laser cutting, water jet cutting and CNC machining are more prevalent at the moment.

It's also in the DX register (DH specifically) after reset. Earlier CPUs did not have CPUID, so that's what the BIOS most likely used.

"DX holds a component identifier and revision number after RESET as Figure 10-1 illustrates. DH contains 3, which indicates an 80386 component."
The OP stated price of the house was 6x, I'm pointing out the contrast in rates is the biggest driver of the change.

Second, you're simply wrong. Yes, of course prices rise when rates drop (that was my original point), but not proportionately, and it absolutely does affect affordability. People flood the market when rates start to drop because they THINK that it's a great deal, and that pumps prices beyond what is proportional. It happened in 2004-7, it happened in 2013-19 (then shit got crazy for even more reasons). Further, the down payment required for an $800k house is a whole lot more than when that same house was $350k -- and people could build that down payment by earning 6, 7, 8% in a savings account. To top it off, the guy buying at 10% rates is likely going to be able to refinance at 7, or 5 or even less at some point during the 30 year life of the mortgage. What is the impact of refi when you start with a 2.75% mortgage? Higher RE prices also raise associated costs -- the transaction costs, RE taxes, overall debt ratios, etc.

Good to hear.
One thing I like about make is that you get an automated bash completion for targets, which I find helpful. Is there an equivalent sneakiness for doing this with this style of script?
Or maybe, we could not do that.
i’m very interested to hear more! it’s hard to speculate without more details, but based off the bits here i’m suspecting that their load balancing/service discovery system hit an issue that resulted in a death spiral. often times a lot of these systems are built with subtle nonlinear scaling bottlenecks that also don’t allow the system to fail into a stable state.

Actually, you can write VST3 plugins/hosts using only the header files in pluginterfaces. (I needed to do this because the source files didn't even compile with MinGW. Maybe they have fixed this.) I don't use a single VST3 source file in my “vstplugin“ project: https://git.iem.at/pd/vstplugin
Are you Paul Krugman or something? I mean, there aren't any examples of what you're suggesting at least in the past hundred years, and yet you suggest it might happen. Might it? Sure, I might win a PowerBall jackpot next week, too. Will it? Based on historical evidence chances of it happening are nil. I'd be willing to bet hard cash on this outcome. There's also no plausible mechanism, short of a dramatic reduction in labor supply, that could drive a macroeconomic trend like this. Not to mention that even if it does happen, the prices will rise faster than wages - labor is a good chunk of the price in the first place, and you, the employer gotta pay social security off those increased wages, so bake in another 6% into that labor cost delta. Guess who will be paying for that? The consumer, AKA the working class largely. And this absolutely, under no circumstances, will cause any "wealth redistribution" from the rich to the poor. It'll be in the other direction. The rich can pay the poor in worthless QE fiat, while they hold inflation-protected assets.

I've seen this shit happen with my own eyes and experienced it on my own skin in the 90s in Russia. I didn't have any money back then, but my parents had a little, and they lost pretty much all of their life's savings.

Going through some of your comments, I didn't see anything overly negative. There are a lot of things that'll make you more negative or nihilistic, I do my best to avoid those. I also jetison myself from conversations that are what I call "negative entertainment". I read a thread on here a year or so ago about managing stress and the like that seems worth sharing. The gist of it is the poster put themselves in the position of a 14,000 year old man. What would he care about, what would he respond to?

This is an excellent point. The services in close proximity to most houses has increased dramatically. Recently I read a comment lamenting how "boomers" bought up all the beachfront property and there was none left. This commenter never understood that in this particular community, the beachfront wasn't even connected to the mainland by any roads at the time, the people who lived there were more or less exiled because it was the cheapest area to live due to it having zero amenities at the time. Sure, once the city built the bridges things got a lot better, but in some cases it was 20 years before that happened.

I really like the way you cherry picked an example that allows for an apologetic on paramilitary policing. I, on the other hand, will rely on statistics, as well as horrifying examples. From an article[1] entitled Do French Lives Matter?:

> The scale of police violence was astonishing and stomach-churning. Between November 2018 and June 2019, according to figures compiled by Médiapart, 860 protesters were injured by the police – 315 suffered head injuries; 24 lost the use of an eye; and five had hands torn off. In December 2018, an elderly woman who had no involvement in the protests was killed when police threw a grenade into her flat.

> Among these victims are not only protesters but also journalists and medics. Police have been filmed beating elderly and disabled people, as well as using tear gas, water cannons and rubber bullets against peaceful protesters. The main source of injuries was ‘Flashball’ rubber bullets – a non-lethal weapon that has been banned in every EU country except France. More than 13,000 of these bullets were fired in the first three months of the protests. Another extreme weapon used by police was the GLI-F4 – a teargas grenade which contains explosives that maimed numerous protesters. The grenade was eventually banned by the French government in early 2020.

> Things got so bad that the UN called for a ‘full investigation’ into the police’s ‘excessive use of force’. Similarly, the Council of Europe’s human-rights commissioner called for an end to the use of Flashballs against protesters. Amnesty International denounced the ‘extremely heavy-handed’ policing deployed against peaceful protesters. Eventually, even the French government acknowledged it had a problem with police violence.

"you really don’t understand anything about the gendarmerie" is an interesting take for someone who ignores a paramilitary group that throws grenades at grannies, blinds people and tears off hands, and beats the elderly and disabled.

> To compare it with the American policing model is beyond ludicrous.

Au contraire, I don't remember the American police beating up the elderly and disabled - or creating disabled people - en masse, in such a short space of time. Maybe you do, but it wouldn't make the comparison ludicrous. Dismissing it, however…

Edit: grenades at grannies, not grenades at grenades. The real mistake was giving the police grenades in the first place though.

While it’s certainly not an exclusive parameter for success, I believe there’s something to this.

Phil Knight for example used to go for a 6 mile run every time he had a big decision to make, and anecdotally, I know a disproportionate number of endurance athletes who are also very successful in their careers.
Here are my views to try and answer in good faith, "How can you not be negative?" as someone who feels positively:

>"Plus some people have made loads of money while we watch front line workers basically dying doing their job."

Yes, that is terrible. But to be really honest, I haven't really thought about it much because none of this directly affects me. I don't follow the news as much, and I'm not close to any front line workers. It's abstractly terrible, but I haven't turned negative because of it.

>"Meanwhile the summer heat was just too much and we're watching the planet die."

I vote in favour of parties who support climate measures, but besides that, I'm not in a position where I can do meaningful activism to enact policy changes to materially curb climate change. In the meantime, I don't believe my personal behaviours make too big of an impact on the environment, in comparison to emissions and waste from major companies, countries, and militaries, so I don't feel guilt about my actions. The rest is not up to me.

>"All the while we've been restricted from seeing work colleagues, friends and family."

I don't miss my old work colleagues, and have actually gotten along really well with a couple new people who I've only seen once in-person (rest via text and video chat). I only really have one or two friends. I'm not too close with my family.

So in short, I don't really think about most of these world issues. The biggest issues directly affect me, via working from home and restriction from seeing others. For the former, life is returning to normal at work. For the second, I learned to be happy by myself, and I'm a lot calmer because of it.
It’s great to hear that it wasn’t the result of something malicious (e.g. a hack). But this has to be one of the longest outages by a company this big ($50B market cap), at least in the past decade it seems?
I'm not sure what the mechanism would be for this- it seems like the last 100 years have been solidly trending toward greater and greater wealth inequality, with a brief hiatus caused by new deal policies and the great depression. Even worse, since the 50s wealth generated by increased production from automation has accelerated this trend, breaking the rough correlation between productivity and real median family income.

In short, there is no way we can fix this (as far as I can tell) without major radical restructuring of how we distribute wealth. I'd say the odds of that happening are pretty slim.

In my experience, it tends to be that you find out one of your components has some tipping point as you scale out horizontally where everything goes to hell. Random example: you scale a service horizontally and suddenly postgres disk space usage goes from "this line looks horizontal" to "we just used 2 years' worth of disk use growth in 40 seconds".

And the postmortem is basically like "yep can't really blame anyone for not knowing this weird ass thing or unfound bug".

It’s okay to critique and diagnose problems, but if you stop there it does become negative. To turn it positive, follow it up by proposing a solution or at least adding something constructive. That can be a very difficult thing to do, especially in a graceful manner.
