That is good to hear. Unfortunately for now, there is no iOS app which is a serious limitation in order to get others to move off from the alternatives.

Until then, no thanks and no deal.

Oh I understood the context and I stand by my answer. It's okay if it isn't for you, people make decisions in different ways and have different priorities.
The hardware is discounted at launch. For the PS4 and PS5 the consoles have sold at a loss for less than a year.

The cost of new releases on steam or the epic store is very close to the cost of a new release on console, so if you are jumping on new releases straight away the savings are very very slim
I have a beast of a desktop PC but still find myself getting into console games far more than PC games.

I think when I'm at my desk there's always this nagging feeling telling me I could be doing something more productive (code, music, learning) whereas on the sofa with a console I don't feel that.
I'm looking out for no-code low-code tool for side project that can help me with speed.
How did you land at Retool or what should be the general criteria?
It has some convenience tradeoffs. E.g. I can read the same chat on phone and desktop without hiccups.
We've been using it for DevOps roles which are not highly specialised in any particular technologies and require ability to solve problems at a general level.

The test is intentionally designed to filter out candidates who cannot meet or do not want to meet the technical requirements.
I’m not idolising them, I’m just framing their returns in the correct perspective. The probability of any of the top firms existing by chance is astronomically small, that’s all I’m saying. Same is true of BlueCrest etc.

As far as I know the NLP stuff is more to do with similar techniques being applied to market data, rather than actual speech recognition or whatever. Hidden Markov models and the like.
Not all about Telegram is golden however.

At some point last year, amidst the skyrocketing popularity of the app and WhatsApp coming under heat for various reasons, someone at Telegram thought of a fantastic (read: user-hostile) way to "increase engagement" - Show a persistent panel on the home screen with the name of every contact on your phone who uses Telegram, in the hopes that you would click one of them and engage them in a conversation.

It's such a wild invasion of UI that it continues to blow my mind that it was greenlit. The panel cannot be disabled and lives right underneath your chat list where it has no business of appearing. They refused to remove it or at the very least, make it optional, and instead asked everyone to use their suggested workaround which, spoiler alert, isn't applicable for a large userbase [1]. I had to revoke "Contacts" permission to get rid of the panel.

This single change has made me quite bitter about the direction of Telegram.

"Blockchain" became a term when people started riding on Bitcoin hype to push their own scamcoins. So, on one hand there was "there's not just Bitcoin, there's an entire Blockchain Space" theme, but on another — everyone saw "blockchain" as a giant ponzi operation. Also, there are people who are fixated on proof-of-work as something evil, so that's also why CT was saying "this is not a blockchain".
Not a red herring, just confirming it wasn't a normal application memory leak (it's not, the malloc usage is fine–I think you're hitting the same issue as is mentioned in this article). The next step I would do is run sudo footprint $(pgrep WindowServer), optionally with -v to give you a really detailed list of why the footprint is so high.
Luckily protocols like zmodem supported resuming downloads.
Aaron Swartz Rememberance Day This Monday
For the general public he was seen as just another hacktivist along with various
hacktivist groups that were active around the time like lulzsec and anonymous.
But for the wider internet community, he represents something much much more,
especially post 2020 where we are all questioning many aspect of governance
that we take for granted as the normal state of the world.

In November the eight of 1986 Aaron Swartz was born. While his early childhood
was like any other kid, he showed early spark of someone who would be very
consequential to internet culture.

One of his first website to be recognized by the public is "The Info Network"
a user generated encyclopedia, created at the age of 12 years old which won
the ArsDigita Prize.

But later on he was accepted into Y Combinator's founder program on a startup
called infogami. While infogami failed to get further funding, his contribution
to the wider Y Combinator, got him in touch with another fellow co-founder to
work together on this small but potentially important firm known as Reddit.

If you are from Reddit or Hackernews, you will be very familiar with how the next
few years will go for Arron as well and so no further introduction will be needed.
(But you can follow further in his wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz)

However what will be consequential to the wider public is his work as an tech
activist fighting for the same rights and values that digital natives in the
wider internet culture would fight for. Especially in the realms of copyright
laws and the wider debate on digital access and freedom.

This includes writing Guerilla Open Access Manifesto, as well as filing a FOIA
request to find out how Chelsea Mannings was treated after she was detained for
her alleged role in the WikiLeaks leaks.
In addition to to leaking PACER digital court records to improve public access,
which had him investigated by the FBI for potential copyright infringements.
And most importantly to rally the internet against Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).

However it was tragically his efforts to push for open access to academic
journals (much of which was publicly funded research) that may have costed him
his life at 2008-12-13.

Eight years later, as we emerge from the global pandemic, it is about time we
celebrate his life and reflect on his his short time with us.
As well as reflecting on how his actions had inspired countless digital natives
current and in the future to continuously push and fight for the
right for information to be free and transparent.
Minor conveniences spoiling yet another ideal.
> console exclusives are a real kick in the teeth.

Console exclusives are often funded by manufacturers, so the game may not exist without the console.
But wouldn't this allow to decrypt any future patch data and see exactly what was changed, thus allowing to bypass it?

> They have been selected, by humans, to build flat sheets

What? The flat sheets are nothing to do with selection. They are to do with leveraging 'bee space' in the design of hives. Man-made hives include sheets of scaffold at very specific distances to ensure that bees build flat comb. The reason for doing this is easy inspection and management of the hive.

They are constrained to do this by leveraging bee space, it is not an evolved feature of commercial bees.

On the subject of ships without electricity, it's probably worth pointing out how dangerous Age of Sail ships would have been compared to modern ships. Right up until the last commercial sailing ships square rigged sails were raised and lowered by sending men out on the yards without safety harnesses or anything, just a footrope to stand on and another line to hold on to. As well as skill you'd need nerves of steel and a strong constitution!

Fair enough, maybe that works better in devops, but it seems like it will filter out candidates who have a good work/life balance.

I agree. Making a decent messaging app with privacy first, they need to make money somehow. I don't want them to go out of business. Though I hope, the ads are not right in your face like youtube does.

> brick the system in ways not even imaginable on regular init

Init before systemd didn't do dependencies in most distros (or at least not in a serious way), so this goes both ways. Systemd can get stuck waiting for something, but initd broke by YOLOing the startup and hopeing things work. There are good points for either approach.

The issue count though really doesn't mean much. What's the boundary of core even? gnome-shell has 1.1k open issues right now while systemd pid1 has 404 of them. Where does the 100 come from? Then the tagging, auto-closing, project management style, etc. come into play. It's a silly metric.

When I started doing interviews I also had some C++ questions (like what is the difference between const and define and some random stuff like that), that I was always unsure about: are these things actually telling me that the person is a good C++ programmer, or am I just asking some random stuff that I happen to know?
1. Degrees open a lot of doors.

2. You build a network when you are meeting people.

Door-opening and networking are the only two advantages of a college degree that cannot be gained from a different place with a high RoI (in terms of money, effort, and time).

It also affords you 4 years to learn at your own pace.

Proper theory can be learned through books and MIT-OCW. Proper skill can be gained from YouTube tutorials and personal peojects.

Schools like Stanford, UC-Berkeley are another story, though.
I don't think it's easy to communicate the "Just Works(tm)" aspect of it. Any amount of messing around for any reason is too much. No matter how hard I've seen anyone try, they cannot match the console in that aspect. Pick up the controller, press a button, and off you go.

You might get your PC setup to do almost that, but it will require tinkering with keyboard and mouse to update OS and install games. It's not what I want when I get home. The console occasionally have issues too, but far far less often than PC in my experience.

I believe consoles are indeed cheaper because
1. they can be sold at a loss (whether or not they actually are now, they have been historically) as the manufacturers make that back on games
2. they bulk order components and package/market them as a single piece.

I much prefer gaming on consoles because I can't be bothered with all the mental overhead that comes with PC gaming. Like most of us I don't have much time. I turn the console on and I'm instantly playing a version optimised for this hardware. More than happy, even eager, to pay for a version that doesn't have me forever tweaking graphical settings or have me thinking about what the latest advancements in RAM or whatever is.

I'm actually looking forward to Steam Deck as ideally it'll give a much closer to console experience for some PC games I've missed out on.

Edit: I was reminded by another comment that the couch experience of desktop gaming isn't for me either. If I can't operate the whole thing from a gamepad I'm not interested, and last time I gave this a go with a little Lenovo I used for emulation, this still wasn't possible.

The district however is not that good. See, there is no parking space at all in Comfort Town and people have to leave their cars on every empty piece of the road inside. In winter time this prevents snow from being removed hence reducing available street space even more. People park in two, three and even four rows, leaving phone numbers under the windshield.

The reason why there is no parking space? Nobody is paying for parking. There is no economic reason for developers to build one. People are comfortable saving considerable amount of money on the estate while committing to an eternal PITA with their cars.
ignore the specific case here - I am talking about the general case...
It is not knowledge classification. It is association (like this PDF file is associated with this project).

But association can be used for classification (this PDF file is associated also with THAT topic). Which is exactly my point.

Hierarchical filesystems can be used for classification (create folders for classes, put things in right folders). But the issue is that the user has to perform classification to even be able to store the file and you can only put the file in one class so if you do that poorly you will have hard time finding it later (a condition which I call disorder).

Association lets you overcome that problem by allowing you to associate the item with multiple classes.

If your aim is to be able to find it later it is better to put the item in too many classes. A filesystem that only allows you to put the item in one class requires you to make a good decision immediately.

Additionally, there is low cost of making a mistake when adding another association but there is comparatively larger cost of changing the classification by putting the file in another folder.
Do we? The image is cropped, there is nothing sexual left (unless you have a fetish for shoulders). The sad thing about this controversy is that there where plenty of successful and impactful women in tech and science, but instead of calling them out as examples to look up to we get a two page rant about a thirty year old crop of a nude image outshining the current generation of militant feminists in management positions.

Providing cushy jobs for loads of well-paid administrators seems to be a primary goal of universities these days. Most of that is probably due to cronyism-type social effects. But some of it is (at minimum) strongly encouraged by the mobs of high-education low-function ideologues (HELFI's) which universities seem to attract - zealous about forcing the university to very publicly "demonstrate a commitment" to some ideal of theirs; far less interested in achieving useful results.

If the actual goal was diversity of UM graduates (vs. admitting "look good for the moment" students who aren't likely to succeed at UM), then the money should be spent on (for instance) a "catch-up" prep school, open to the top-3% graduates of the poorest high schools in the state. (Then offer UM admission to the top $n graduates of that prep school, or some such.) But when "just give lip service and hire a bunch more administrators" is a fast and foolproof way to both appease the HELFI's and grow the administrative bloat - why should any university try something which might actually work...but is slow and un-sexy and kinda-complex?
Oh yeah for sure. Also GamePass is insane value for Xbox and I know a lot of people only buy it for that
This doesn't make any sense. The biggest advantage of consoles over PCs is the fixed hardware, allowing developers to focus on hyper-optimization and bug fixing for all the quirks of that hardware. Not to mention the economies of scale console manufacturers can get when they are building tens or hundreds of millions of devices with the exact same specs.

Of course, Valve can design and release their own console with fixed hardware and they could perhaps out-compete Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft. But a customizable PC, especially one where you can install any Linux-based OS you want, will never be able to destroy the console market.

Not to mention, nothing that Valve has done indicates that they are willing to create a full Console OS, that would hide all of the desktop OS complexity from users and developers: headache free updates where you don't assume the user can just drop to a root shell if something breaks, network config utilities that can be used with a controller, fully standardized drivers, libc, OpenGL/Vulkan version etc.

Not to mention, part of the advantage of consoles is that they offer some amount of trusted computing: the fact that it's mostly impossible for users to install anything on a console is a major advantage even to end-users for Online games, where you have almost 0 problems with cheating compared to PC where it is a constant struggle.

> The law requires you ask the same set of questions of all candidates

Does it? I have never heard of such a requirement in a law (though I’m not a lawyer). That might be an employer’s decision on policy they use to ensure compliance with the law, but I couldn’t quickly find any law requiring the questions to be uniform across candidates. (It’s also a difficult set of terms to quickly and confidently exclude the possibility that one exists.)

I guess that’s a longer (and hopefully more polite) way of saying “citation, please.”
Good luck finding a place that is geologically stable and will stay so, far away from any human population, far away from any water source, far away from valuable earth materials.

I think it's not that it isn't "good", it's more that it is an enormously overcomplicated design-by-committee. The spec is really complicated and downright weird in a lot of places. Kind of like they were trying out new academic ideas that weren't really practical.

I'm more familiar with BLE, which is better, but even that has a completely weird "characteristics" protocol that you have to use. Want to send a big blob of data? You have to manually cut it up into 20 byte chunks to send it over "notifications".

It's like they looked at the OSI model and thought "ah yes this looks right! we'll implement all the layers!"
Sounds like a really bad idea for tools like mv and rm. Suddenly you have moved or deleted much more than you thought. Unless you support guids or similar also but end users are normally really bad at reading and writing those. It is very easy to mistake one guid for another.

You can definitely get a GPU for affordable prices if you're willing to wait. The insane prices apply if you want a GPU now.

Also keep in mind that consoles are subject to the very same price increase, it's nearly impossible to obtain a console for the advertised price.
