The security argument Apple has been spinning for so many years is a fallacy of the worst kind.

Like pedling life in prison, with Uncle Tim as warden, as opposed to the so much dangerous and risky life out there, in the wild, where you can do whatever you want. Like owning a Pinephone.
If SCOTUS outlawed buying the data, they’d just find ways around that too. Maybe they’d just start creating apps and directly monitoring people. With an unlimited marketing and development budget, they could wind up on the majority of Americans’ phones pretty fast. Depending on the kinds of apps they created, they might get warrantless access to millions of bank accounts, text messages, emails, video conferences, full real-time location tracking, and more.
Congratulations!

I'm going through a similar phase myself spurred on by the pandemic (games are, after all, why I started programming in the first place).

I'm continuously amazed by how complex even simple games can be, especially if you're not using one of the big game engines. It's incredibly easy to get sidetracked or over-engineer a certain aspect. It's made me realize just how tough shipping a game - so congratulations on that. It's a huge feat.
I strongly second this. I immediately gave up on trying it out once I realized I had to download something. Your KPIs should be around how sticky your search features are, it seems like it is currently based on download counts.
I'm entirely self-taught. My personal experience is this:

- Try a bunch of free engines and platforms. Depending on your son's age, this might mean starting with something like Scratch. I've played around with it myself and it's fun. It at least gives you a feel for game logic and how a game loop should feel.

- GDevelop has come a long way. My son prefers it when he's just doodling around.

- My husband prefers GameMaker Studio 2. But it's a paid program and the export modules (mobile, console, html5) are extra expenses that can add up. Also, GML is a nightmare (just my opinion).

- I use Godot Engine. It's free, lightweight, GDScript is Python-like so pretty easy to get a handle on. It's perfect for 2D development. And the teaching community is very rich.

- There's really no "x is better than y" as far as game engines, IMO...all depends on what you're trying to do and how far you are in expertise/experience. And it also comes down to what engine feels right to you.

- Start with 2D, cannot stress this enough. Make as simple a game as possible when you're starting. This also means staying away from Unity and Unreal because both are simply too much engine for a beginner.

- At some point, you're gonna have to learn how to code for real. Don't have to be a wiz...just enough to be competent.

- Be a generalist, if possible. Depending on what you want to do and/or whether you have collaborators or not...you might also need to have basic art skills. I'm a graphic designer by trade so this wasn't an issue. But I had to learn Blender because I wanted to incorporate 3D art in my games. My husband learned how to make music. I also learned video editing so I could make good trailers. Etc, etc.

- Love games. All kinds of games. I think this should've been first.

- I hope that helps.

> $FOO is NOT RECORDED AS A CRIME if the apprehended suspect is not convicted.

I'm not sure this is completely correct... In my home town, the police used to send a list of arrests to the local paper, who would print all of them in the weekly issue. How many of those translated into convictions was something I wouldn't even know how to find out, but they certainly were able to publicize their arrest rate.
For a product that's been around 12 years, I've been surprised at how minimally featured PagerDuty is.

Stuff like national holiday awareness, integration to vacation calendars, a better UI for swapping days/overrides, etc.

PD schedule checking and trade negotiation becomes yet another thing in the long list of things I need to do when taking a day off. HR system request off, Department Outlook calendar update, PagerDuty coverage check, Outlook out-of-office status & auto-replies, Slack set away, update status AND pause notifications.

I suppose that's because as an on-call developer I am not the user. The user, management who bought the product, gets KPIs & pretty graphs, so they are happy.

The output alerts feature looks largely the same, but the input API limits are the part in question.

What happens if you get 1000 API calls about "Alert 1" and 1 API call about "Alert 2".

You want both on call's to trigger once, but will alert 2 get though?
No new research - this is a literature review.
This is something that's a dilemma for us. Thanks for your input!
It’s cool for the neighbours though, especially france which is a historical exporter (owing to its stable and relatively efficient nukes). When germany pays you 5c to take a kWh off their grid and italy 30 to get one there's good money to be made if your grid can cope.
With IQ being ~80% hereditary, this isn’t too surprising.

Like literally, that is the basis for state power - several iterations of "...or else" finally end with "we kill you". Private companies don't enjoy that privilege - because they don't have the power to distinguish murder from justifiable homicide.
That's what I said would happen, throw more shocking nonsense at us. Oo I'm scared.

Take a break, a deep breath. Life doesn't need to be so hard and traumatic. People live happily and peacefully, cooperate and build communities together.

>Meanwhile, Unity will be taking over the development of Weta Digital’s many built-in-house tools — things like City Builder

I'm so excited about this, while an array of 3rd party tools exist, I'd love something straight from Unity. The existing city builders are basically hobby projects by a single dev.

That said, you can do some amazing things with them. As is Unity is much more accessible than Unreal, I'm beyond happy to see this
I bet they discussed those kinds of options afterwards.
I’ve read that any TRIM supported SSD prevents this and all SSDs have extra blocks (some more than others) that aren’t being utilized by default and are designed to replace any bad blocks. https://www.truenas.com/community/resources/some-differences... seems like ZFS might be special and if you have larger SSDs they will have different cell blocks and be faster because it’s 2x256 boards that can be used concurrently versus 1x256 which will have half the write speed. SSDs also complicate it further with RAM disks, mixed storage (like SLC+TLC/QLC) so the SSDs will be affected more if it’s a cheaper drive with no ram or SLC cache, and smaller sizes with less memory chips. I remember getting the Evo 850 because it had great firmware with ram and SLC cache, it was 3D TLC but it’s speed was still excellent.
Congratulations to France and Mr Macron
I mean anything that happened in the 90's seems to be considered "yesterday" in computing history terms.
Great news.

German politicians can import from France on the cheap to maintain the veneer of their supposed ideology while doing something completely different behind the scenes.

The press and other elite will 'wink wink nudge nudge', play along, and not ask too too many hard questions.

Wow. Weta works on some really big films, so it will be exciting to see the work that they have done become available in the asset store.

Unity is betting big on VFX Virtual Production, what a huge step this is. Unreal is of course ahead in this space, with major productions like Mandalorian to back it up. This is very interesting and exciting to see what will happen.

Weta is so beloved in the industry, and has so much expertise, hope nothing is lost in this transition.

"I think a generation of people who believe the former statement have taken control of institutions"
I think the cause and effect are backwards here. It is their having taken control of institutions that makes individuals less likely to take seriously the spirit of pesky constitutional protections. Which was of course foreseen by the founding fathers.
PAM is quite something. Normally you ignore it and it quietly gets on with the job. Then one day you find yourself deploying something like this on your laptop:

%PAM-1.0

auth required pam_faillock.so preauth
auth [success=3 default=ignore] pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok
auth [success=2 default=ignore] pam_winbind.so
-auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_systemd_home.so
auth [default=die] pam_faillock.so authfail
auth required pam_permit.so
auth required pam_env.so
auth required pam_faillock.so authsucc

-account [success=2 default=ignore] pam_systemd_home.so
account [success=1 default=ignore] pam_winbind.so
account required pam_unix.so
account optional pam_permit.so
account required pam_time.so

-password [success=2 default=ignore] pam_systemd_home.so
password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_winbind.so
password required pam_unix.so sha512 shadow
password optional pam_permit.so

session required pam_limits.so
session required pam_unix.so
session required pam_winbind.so
session optional pam_permit.so

The syntax is quite terse and like nothing else. No idea why it insists on wasting characters though. auth could be au, account: ac, password: pa and session: se. Why on earth put pam_ on the front of the modules and .so on the end. Tut!

The winbind stuff is configured elsewhere in several places - /etc/samba/smb.conf and /etc/security/pam_winbind.conf (obviously).

In general it is good enough to keep a spare virtual console logged in as root whilst you play with PAM. Otherwise get some experience with say Gentoo and Arch and the like. Then you will have rather good system rescue skills. Keep a System Rescue CD/USB to hand ... boot, mount /, /boot, /dev, /sys etc, chroot ... fix whatever you broke and then reboot. Rinse, repeat. Or spin up a VM and snapshot/checkpoint it before experimenting.
No, it is a hypothesis of mine, that a large volcano eruption may disrupt the function of solar within a large area that was affected and which depends on solar energy. A particular example may be

A single "year without summer" may be the fatal blow to a society basing their energy on solar energy, so I hypothesize.

None of them are official, and I bet they make major simplifications (the one you just linked to is for Java 1.4). I doubt actual language/tooling implementors benefit much from them.
If your system experiences periods of greater and lesser load, then using the rest of whatever is its load capacity, during periods of lesser load, on further compressing its contents might be worth the bother.

Perhaps better than stepping to a different compression algorithm, zstd has multiple levels of compression that might be used at different times. The advantage there is that the same decompression algorithm works for all.

One might reasonably hope that decompression tables may be shared amongst multiple of the 64k raw blocks, to further squeeze usage.
Sort of - but it doesn't solve the issue with air quality. Electrification of transport isn't just about CO2. We'll see more instant benefits from having air we can breathe.
There are two types of technologies: those which give the user leverage in the real world; and games.

Which is Meta? Ben Thompson tries to make the case that it's the former, but I have my doubts. Thinking about my current 95% remote work life, with very frequent calls, I think of the following frustrations:

1. Platform heterogeneity. Some people use phones, mobile, chat, Meets, Hangouts, Zoom, etc. Just trying to work out what platform (?) people use feels silly.
2. Bad hardware. I'm constantly having Bluetooth and wifi issues and so is everyone else.
3. Lack of engagement. Lots of people outside my org are just not as engaged as they were pre-pandemic. Customer service has become terrible.
4. Lack of space. My fiancé and I have to plan for an extra room if/when we move because of the WFH situation. Since we are unlikely to have a glut of spare bedrooms in London any time soon, this is likely to be a systemic problem.

I can't see Meta or virtual presence/VR solving any of these problems, except incidentally (for instance, everyone loves Meta so much that everyone switches over to their perfect hardware and platform overnight). What I do see are a lot of drawbacks, such as

1. Nausea. It's well known that not everyone can tolerate VR
2. Compatibility. Can you still interact with people using other services?
3. Bandwidth. Do all your employees live somewhere with good enough internet service?
4. General creepiness. Usually the unease from new tech creeps up on you slowly (everyone normal saw iPhones and computers and even TVs as an unalloyed good from the start. Nobody seems to like the Metaverse). I think we might be on the cusp of a techno-reactionary Luddite movement.

I could be wrong, but to me this feels too much like a case of companies and techies wanting something far more than customers having actual problems that this can solve.
The actual content is almost all reading, often with interactive exercises.

The way you pass a course is through an assessment at the end - either a proctored multiple-choice test or some sort of project you complete and have graded. A few courses have both. For the ones that have a test, there is a pre-test you can take at any time to see how ready you are for the test - for the most part they've been relatively close to the actual tests.

I haven't needed help from instructors very much, but when I have had questions they've been pretty responsive. They are also fairly responsive on the "chatter", which is a terrible, limited chat/forum-like thing for each course.
Stop me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the US deliberately obscure a lot of the natsec spending? I mean, the DoD is so financially obscure it can't be audited. The "black budget" is partly a lump line item, partly hidden in other items.

It doesn't sound like the students have as big a problem as the LENDERS do! Why don't the students just not pay the bill and file bankruptcy? If the loans aren't government loans that aren't bankrupt-able, then I think we have identified the problem right there.

What we need to do is ensure that lenders bare the full cost of lending to people who likely will not be able to pay them back.
I think it's really difficult to compare all of these statistics. Take Germany:

It is very normal to rent your whole life, especially in big cities. Renter laws are very strong. House ownership is higher in rich, rural parts of the country (think south of Munich), so this skews the average house price.
Also the quality floor is much higher than in the US, pushing up average prices. $20k trailer park homes simply do not exist in Germany.
It's not the fact that the hash of the public key is exposed, it's the fact that

1. so little of the hash is exposed (only 80 bits of 160 for sha1), making it easier to find a collision

2. the hash is so weak (sha1 is widely considered broken), making it easier to find a collision

3. the underlying public key is so small, making it easier to derive the private key from the public key

IIRC if you find a collision you can use that to take over / contest an onion address, and obviously reversing the public key into a private key gives you as much control over an onion address as the original creator.
