Hmm, it might sound strange, but I think most of the best chatting and collaboration I've seen has been on tight-knit Discords devoted to idea/principle-based projects (as opposed to profit) like the one for 0xBitcoin.
Fair enough - DRM is a thing. Its not typically the most robust thing, but people have certainly tried and modern cpus have secure enclaves that make implementing such a thing sort of fesible (see for example widevine).

However ultimately at some point, you have to convert the image to photons to look at it, and its pretty hard to prevent someone from taking a photo of those photons. I guess you could require every camera to auto recognize copyrighted work and refuse (think EURion constellation or Cinavia) but that is pretty orwellian and you still have plain old analog cameras.

I respect Lena's wishes and don't really object to not using it anymore. But also, this debate grinds my gears a little every time it comes up. The photo is not a candid, private picture. It was taken by and is owned by Playboy and she was compensated for it. Does it really make sense to revoke consent for something you were compensated for?

I really don't like the implication that you're a misogynist for using the image.

I've used the PS3 controller on both Linux (out of the box) and Windows. And for the later it was true that I needed to download a separate application, and play a bunch of plug/unplug to get the controller recognized. But once that ritual worked out, I was ready to play.
Lenna's image is an historical artifact. It is an historical fact that it was used as one of the first test image and has the same historical importance as the Utah teapot for 3d and Tom's Dinner for mp3.

So at the risk of having an unpopular opinion, does it really make sense to censor ourselves by hiding that history? I would agree that we don't necessarily need to continue using it as a test image for further research and publication but when talking about the history of image research and processing I don't see why we should hide or censor it.
> To make sure we weren’t contributing to the spread of the Lenna image, the large Lenna “image” you see on this page is actually a collection of colored pixels.

collection of colored pixels? This sounds exactly like they are spreading the image, but in low resolution and obfuscated form.

Proper form spreading image without actually spreading it (mostly because of copyright) is to hire a painter and let them create sketch of that image.
I have a decent gaming PC but still got the PS3, PS4 afterwards and now the PS5 for their portability. We have gaming / couch co-op nights of 4 and play Fifa or split-screen games.

The PS3 even supported 7 controllers and is still used for some Bomberman Ultra. The PS4 and PS5 sadly max out at 4...

And these are still half the size and weight of my PC. Of course there are mini-itx gaming rigs out there but those cost as much or more than all my consoles and controllers together.

Israel isn't a colony even if that is a fantasy of many people. Some of those "newly imported" people were driven out of muslim countries, which are numerous as you can see on the map.

Bejeweled and Candy Crush are not good games, and we click through the repetitive parts in games to get to the point.

The point is very rarely repetition itself, and even when it is, it's not actually performing the task but rather figuring out how to automate it.

Nobody enjoys clicking on a unit then clicking on where we want it to go. Our brains reward us for successfully moving units to where they need to be, whatever the action necessary to get there.

The same reason family abuse is so effective - your infantile survival depends on your parents. If your parents are abusing you, you develop a liking for it, because your survival odds improve by doing so (abusive parent is better than no parent at all). You seek partners to repeat that behavior even if it makes you miserable, because brain chemistry.

A good game is one where such mechanisms aren't exploited for profit.
>The author should consider the possibility that such a world view is not deeply held by a large part of the population, or perhaps the grip that “success” holds does weaken with age.

That part would oppose the mainstream culture.
No, the original commenter repeatedly used absolutes to make a baseless claim that a game is automatically bad if it includes any functionality that they, personally, perceive as a "boring and repetitive, but effective strategy." Using absolutes to describe human behavior is absurd, and they were clearly trying to assert their view as universal fact, but offers no foundation for that assertion -- because there really isn't one.

So, as I've established several times now, if many (possibly even most) gamers find repetitive and boring enjoyable, then it's rather silly to insist that the developer "must" do something to "fix" it, otherwise the user "will definitely not have fun" and the game "can't be good."

Question asked, where are European IBAN Transfers not free? I clarified that they are free by law in the EU but instant transfers (exception 1) may cost money.

At the same time, a wire money transfer in Europe, as long as there is a least one non-EU party involved (UK, Serbia, Moldavia, Ukraine, Switzerland, whatever) may cost money.

Looks like what you're describing is at least partially implemented in Steam Big Picture mode.

> Big Picture is a mode of Steam designed for use with your TV and game controller, so you can enjoy your Steam games from the comfort of your couch. With the press of a button, Steam displays a full-screen user interface which has been completely redesigned for readability and interaction on TV. It can also be used on your usual computer display.

It wont solve the hardware/ram/compatibility problems, but in my experience there are not many of those on the latest Ubuntu. If it works, it works well, and if it doesn't it doesn't at all. And mostly it does.

I got a PS5 months ago for the regular price (400 EUR for the digital-only version), and I didn't put that much effort into getting it. A 3060 would be at least 700 EUR right now.

And the GPU prices have been rather expensive, if not as outright insane as right now for years. So PC gaming in general has become less attractive from a financial point while console prices are pretty much the same (though with some difficulty in getting them, for sure).
Some people started buying ps3 to build compute clusters.

This was because the ps3 had a very strong processor made by ibm, using rhe powerpc isa.

This meant that ibm started losing sales of their powerpc systems.

So the story i know is that ibm "asked" sony to stop allowing linux on the ps3.
That's what they do though. They hold meetings to develop the most elaborate systems they can get away with to manipulate you into giving them as much money as possible.

in the dev PG15 LZ4 WAL compression is enabled

https://github.com/postgres/postgres/commit/4035cd5d4eee4dae...

"Add support for LZ4 with compression of full-page writes in WAL
The logic is implemented so as there can be a choice in the compression
used when building a WAL record, and an extra per-record bit is used to
track down if a block is compressed with PGLZ, LZ4 or nothing.

wal_compression, the existing parameter, is changed to an enum with
support for the following backward-compatible values:
- "off", the default, to not use compression.
- "pglz" or "on", to compress FPWs with PGLZ.
- "lz4", the new mode, to compress FPWs with LZ4.

Benchmarking has showed that LZ4 outclasses easily PGLZ. ZSTD would be
also an interesting choice, but going just with LZ4 for now makes the
patch minimalistic as toast compression is already able to use LZ4, so
there is no need to worry about any build-related needs for this
implementation.

Playing 3d shooter on controller is just like playing it using arrow keys, possible and I was doing that when I played DOOM (the original). Tried it and hated every minute of it because of inprecise shooting.

And strategy games? Moving pointer with controller?

You don't need a 3060, you can simply get a GPU from a few generations back. You can get a Vega 56 for about 300€ which will play most games in high quality settings without any issues.

Same for all other components, it's no longer true that you need current-gen technology to be able to play with Graphics put on High.

We get a bunch of these - to be fair to them as mentioned in the article 99% are small setting tweaks we’ve overlooked. I always find it awkward replying to these sorts of reports, usually I go with:

“Thanks for your report, we’ve updated the settings. We don’t have an official bounty program but we do sometimes offer them if the issue is severe enough. On this occasion it is not”

And that seems to work fine. For ones a little more involved we’ve paid out $50 a few times which they seem happy with and we’re generally ok to pay.

These setting tweaks are a source of spam, if you fix them you stop getting the emails.

I don’t have a problem with them generally but like Troy mentions the language they use can be quite manipulative and plays on your virtuous characteristics - short concise firm replies is what’s required and then ignore if they reply with beginning.

I think the article was about making it easier for users. It may not be easy anymore if they have to use directories AND tags. Or it may work, if the only files they normally tag are their documents.

Tags have a problem with names. How do you stop users from messing with files that belong to the OS or some application?
Should we require that they all have the tags "OS" or "app" on them? Should binaries have the tag "binary"?
What happens when the user tries to delete one app but chooses "tag 'app' and name startswith 'word'"?
Should all application files named "word"-something from different applications be removed?
Should the user have known to use a meta-query with "tag 'app' and tagname:startswith 'word'"?

I do see a lot of problems but of course some things would be easier.

I might have been a bit too direct referencing DK, and I think I understand your concerns. I haven't read the original paper, and I'm willing to accept your criticism of it at face value for now.

However, what I named (and what I believe is widely understood as) the DK effect is quite similar to what you pointed out in your original post. Even if that's not what the original authors intended, I believe that giving names to such psychological phenomena/cognitive biases is valuable to contextualize a discussion: "we're going to discuss the Dunning-Kruger effect" is shorter than a full introduction. Those who don't know what DK is can look it up (or read the full introduction).

Moreover, I have myself experienced what you describe multiple times, so I am willing to give additional credit to the idea (that I was describing as DK), even if quantifying cognitive biases is probably a lost cause.

> certainty and confidence [...] reveals incompetence

That is certainly not a conclusion that I am willing to make, nor something that I have ever seen expressed anywhere. The only thing I associate DK with is underestimating the deepness and breadth of a topic when you know it only superficially. And finding examples of this is quite easy.

> The authors spun the narrative very carefully to imply or seem like high confidence is suspect

Again, I was not aware of this, nor I am under the impression that this is a conclusion that people jump to (it really seems like a stretch). At least in my circles. I will document myself a bit more, and decide if I should keep calling this DK or not, thanks for bringing this to my attention.
The NSA will never do that as it would be tipping their hand about whatever novel technique they reveal. In the past the NSA actually did provide some constants that went into DES and people were suspicious as the constants weren't randomly chosen. Later on it came out that differential cryptanalysis would have broken the original constants but the NSA provided ones were chosen to thwart this. They clearly knew about it well ahead of it being discovered in academia. Then you have the NSA's shady dealings around Dual_EC_DRBG where there was speculation that this might be similar to when the NSA secured DES against publicly unknown advanced cryptanalytic attacks. Of course for Dual_EC_DRBG that wasn't the case, it was a malicious backdoor, nothing more.

The question comes down to "Is this a repeat of DES or Dual_EC_DRBG?" and the NSA has poisoned the well with their previous attack on cryptography standards.

MoltenVK is integrated into Vulkan now so Vulkan works fine on Mac
This list seems to be another example of a mediocre programmer trying to look better by saying that an actually better programmer does not exist because their output is objectively not better when you look at it holistically.

The reasoning seems to be that this better programmer would write programs that are impossible to understand or maintain or a host of other reasons why the person is basically incompatible with a long-term sustainable software output.

There are other reactions to being a mediocre programmer, for example trying to get better or simply giving up entirely.

Better programmers make mistakes too, sometimes big mistakes. But they also break new frontiers.
