How to Use Game Theory in Video Game Development
American TV tends to afraid of a lot of taboos. I am Norwegian and it is always interesting to see American remakes of Nordic movies and shows. They change anything which touches on taboo subjects. There is a great Swedish vampire movie which deals with quite a number of disturbing topics in relation to sexuality, abuse etc. The American remake did everything to avoid that any of the darker undercurrents and subjects became visible.

When American movies deal with sex it is always made into something tantalizing. Something to sell and excite. American media quickly sweep under the rug anything unpleasant.
In official Microsoft Teams training, you will learn how to include funny gifs in your messages and change background colors to make messages ‘stand out’. Apparently we are teenagers talking with our bffs and not a business.
You're completely changing the subject into a whataboutist digression here.

Resorting to a such a fallacy is generally a sign you have nothing defensible to say about the absurd waste BTC produces

Even if you want to change the subject, I can't get a GPU because 1/5th of the GPU supply is shipped to ETH mines.

> Surprised that the DoD cannot contractually gag a high-level departure from sharing internal dirty laundry like this, as an issue of national security,

Why waste your time on a civil contract when you can classify something and put the departure in prison for a very long time for disclosing classified information?
> In this architecture, the authorization service was properly validating user authorization to packages based on data passed in request URL paths. However, the service that performs underlying updates to the registry data determined which package to publish based on the contents of the uploaded package file

I have a similar story . At my old job, we had a web socket gateway that authenticated using JWTs , then hit an internal service to request REST resources. The issue was that it didn’t actually validate the requested REST resource URL; a malicious user could authenticate as themselves but request a resource for any other account.

I found it as I was getting up to speed on the code base, having recently switched teams. Funnily enough, nobody on the team really understood the vulnerability - the EM marked it low priority and wanted the team to work on other things. I had to essentially go directly to the security team and convince them it was a sev 1. I sometimes wonder if it’s easier to just report security issues as an outsider through the bug bounty program; internal reports don’t seem to get taken as seriously.
doesnt really work. people don't necessarily park near their apartment. thats the point.
using monitors for this is a bizarre choice for this, to me.

led matrices are designed for this, cheaper than people assume, look better, and are much more readable.

How is having the option to rent stuff not available for streaming a bad thing?
It surprised me, that in so many countries and cities the price of apartment, flat, or house increased significantly (often almost doubled) over last two years. It either reflects raw inflation, or, for some unknown reasons, growing value. If anything, you would expect either prices keeping roughly the same level or falling.
This could be something. Tagline: "If you have to ask, you'll never know." Hat tip RHCP.

I've been using one of the miniPC type OpenWRT supported devices as my core router. Though rather than adding wifi to the base I dangled my old wifi with OpenWRT off of it since my theory of instability on routers is that wifi makes everything suck.

My point is that if we do nothing about climate change it will still inevitably cause the same if not more devastation than that of nuclear and bioweapons. One is absolute if we do nothing, the other is not so obvious.

At the end of the day there isn't ever one focus, there are multiple focuses when it comes to keeping ourselves and each other alive. The risks of climate change IMO are not a question of how but when, in amongst all other health risks.
`finger` always made me uneasy.
I think Corepack is a bad idea and have explicitly added feedback to say so. That said, I know you're misrepresenting the situation (whether intended or not) by suggesting this is a Microsoft initiative (it's not, Microsoft acquired NPM, if anything is even relevant to that acquisition this is meant to distance Node from that initiative).
Afaik, it's up to the country to determine the rules for the tld. Some require strict rules (eg, .us requires making public a current mailing address, something making me consider getting rid of mine as I don't want that so public), and others (eg, .io and .fm) simply use it as a way to make some money.
Doubtful the domestic violence victims support forum website will gladly implement that functionality.
Last I checked, Linux is not an npm package but I should probably prepare for someone to reply to this with a js Linux kernal repo, whatever that would mean.

Lol, no thanks.

The very last thing I need is an ISP controlling my LAN.
I'm not familiar with either of those products. However if you haven't had luck applying to FileNet or Neoxam specific jobs I would try the following:

1. Figure out how other companies are solving the problem FileNet or Neoxam solves for your company. Make some forum posts, ask in chat channels, or find people IRL who might know this.

2. Apply to those jobs at those companies. You may need to show some proficiency in the software they're using or get some certifications. This can be tricky, but again rely on the people at those companies to figure that out.

Or you could learn something different. I'm a software developer so I could answer any questions with regards to getting a coding job. Find what you want to do, talk to the people that do it, then follow their footsteps.

It's not easy though. Being stuck with experience that isn't very marketable is a tough spot to be in. Good luck.

Yes, I have similar setup. I used microtik wifi router previously, and it's still a primary wifi ap for me, but all ports are bridged together including a wan port, and it now just serves as a 5xGLAN switch + wifi ap. All the DHCP, DNS and other services are on Quartz64.
This just further emphasizes to me that we need a microkernel OS for internet facing things. Followed with a memory safe or at least security audited network layer.

He sure picked the right woman.

The Web being the Web, there's more, courtesy Wikipedia: "He met his wife, Katherine Anna Kang, at the 1997 QuakeCon when she visited id's offices. As a bet, Kang challenged Carmack to sponsor the first All Female Quake Tournament if she was able to produce a significant number of participants. Carmack predicted a maximum of 25 participants, but there were 1,500. Carmack and Kang married on January 1, 2000, and planned a ceremony in Hawaii. Steve Jobs requested that they would postpone the ceremony so he could attend the MacWorld Expo on January 5, 2000. Carmack declined and suggested making a video instead."

Weird definition since it prevents deciding if an exoplanet is a planet or a dwarf planet.

It smells like a compromise proxy measure for: orbital stability, in a reasonably circular orbit, plus rule out Pluto.

Maybe there is some deep reason for using that measure, but it is not obvious.

Okay, so the investors want to sell. Understandable, it doesn’t look like there is any (direct) profit to be extracted (which makes me wonder what was initially promised to them ...).

An „exit to community“ is an interesting concept, but I have to wonder whether the numbers will ever work out. Are there really 30.000 people willing to pay 100$ each to own a part of OpenCollective? 3.000 at 1.000 each? Maybe. And are 3M$ (barely any return) even what the investors want back?

Maybe another/a supplemental way would be commercial sponsorship.

In general spreading out ownership seems like a great idea to me and I definitely hope OC survives. It’s absolutely an enrichment for sustainable software funding.
While I probably agree, why can't the Major just be the project manager and he or she consults daily with their trusted, deeply responsible technical advisor who is actually from the industry?

Good project management would prioritize the feature list, cut out 95% of the effort to define an MVP that could be delivered with 2-4 hours of coding, and delivered to the user to find out if it's worth doing anything more.
I think it's a hard problem to solve. Take a less controversial one perhaps: speed limits. The same aspect could be applied, where it's hard to specifically identify the people who drive poorly at high speeds, so blanket laws are created to limit speeds. Ideally, yes, I'd rather have freedom because I believe that I personally drive well at high speeds, however, there are some people who I wish didn't have the permission to drive at high speeds.

Maybe this analogy doesn't seem so applicable to you as it seems to more directly impact other people than one's permission to risk money on a stock, however, I'd argue that decision impacts family members and communities more than apparent at first.
Government work still gets some top-capability people, who want to do something more worthwhile than is available in most of business.

The first place I worked was like this, with the exception of the long complicated passwords. We told people to call the helpdesk to reset their password and would save their password to an Excel sheet. This was improved slightly by rolling out a self-service password change tool that logged the passwords to a database.

One day someone that had legitimate access to the password list was fired/quit and the VP decided we needed to have everyone (~800 users, 700 remote) call the helpdesk to reset their password. All the helpdesk calls waiting for a password reset clogged the voice T1 (23 lines) for the office, preventing most calls in or out. Oops.

Thankfully when the company came in-scope for sarbanes-oxley the external consultant we hired to help with the audit said there was no way we could continue logging user passwords and stay compliant.

I work in an org with a few tens of "microservices". Some are written in python, some in go, and some in js or typescript. The each yarn.lock file, individually, is bigger than the whole JS application it serves, and bigger than most of our microservices written in python or golang in their entirety (including their lock files which are like 40 to 100 lines). These js dependency trees are completely un-reviewable and absolutely absurd.

The theory about tiny libraries enabling tiny programs might work if developers were targeting microcontrollers, but developers have comparatively infinite cpu, memory, and disk, they've lost perspective, and the result is truly ABSURD. 10 big fat libraries are smaller than 2000 micro-libraries.

The Rock has good crossover appeal, from action movies to children's adventure-commedies. Together, action fans + family-friendly crowd, is a pretty massive potential audience.

I think Cruise has the former but doesn't really do any of the latter, so his total potential audience may not be as large.

This article is from October, but people have been looking at the most recent survey results form UMichigan, and found the details… interesting. Specifically that expectations are highly correlated with how people self-identified politically. For example, Republicans have worse sentiments about the economy now than they did in March 2009, when the unemployment rate was 8.7%:

* https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/UNRATE

And the economy was losing 800K jobs per month:

The UMichigan folks call out this this partisan lens explicitly:

And while (some) folks have negative view on the economy (depending on their political leanings), there is a general positive feeling on their personal finances:

Why would it matter where wireguard is? The gl.inet does have the nifty internet kill switch which forces everything through VPN, which is useful I guess.
Twitter's version of it, you might say, is putting the whole world in one flat namespace.

Naturally (as per Tobler's law), we care more about our direct environment, but Twitter never created a view like finger where you could only see the direct members of your own lab, all content is external/public. I think that's because Twitter wasn't planned, but happened as an accidental side project. A more careful design would have created a multi-tiered visibility level with ways to choose what visibility is best for a message (default: local).

It would be cool to create .plan files dynamically using content pulled from social media status updates for people who do not maintain their own .plan.

You want a government where you aren’t able to hear bad news from within the government? Companies can go out of business… governments generally don’t.
One of my many issues with him is that his quotes are trite nonsense.

Not everyone is solely motivated by money, some of the most important work anywhere is in government, and there is fundamentally nothing preventing a government from getting the best workers for the job.

Reaganism is just pessimistically giving up before you even try, and when ~half of the two parties believe it without doubt, it's self-fulfilling. They believe that government cannot do anything well, and then set out to prove it.
Much as I bemoan the loss of elegant text-based protocols like this, I am simultaneously thankful that I can interact on a platform that retains a great deal of the spare, text-heavy aesthetic and doesn't come riddled with various "social" integrations, analytics, and auto-playing video trash.
Depends on the government. Kennedy was able to poach McGeorge Bundy and McNamara (who also recruited Daniel Ellsberg, another member of the Harvard Society of Fellows) from the private sector, as well as enough scientists and engineers to put people on the moon. McNamara had worked for the government before that during World War 2, as well as the entire team of Manhattan Project scientists. The quality of applicants to government jobs took a tumble after the Vietnam era.

Singapore's government pays well enough to compete for top talent against the private sector, and I have no doubt that China is capable of staffing high priority government projects well also.

Classic "lies, damn lies, and statistics".

I need to start collecting examples of conclusions drawn from incomplete and / or poorly explained statistics. I did three levels of statistics, and found it boring because I struggled to find how it would be useful in my future career. I'm eternally annoyed at myself for not paying enough attention, I love stats now.

One interesting (and divisive) example for statistics was way early in the COVID timeline the talk about reaching herd immunity through "just letting it propagate" as per the narrative around Sweden's approach.

The required herd immunity figure was something like 60%[0] at the lowest end. In the US daily new infections peaked in January 2021 at 305,000[1], and the US population is around 330 million[2] (with 60% being 198 million).

At that maximum rate of new daily infections, it would take 649 days (1.77 years) to reach herd immunity.

The average daily new infection rate from the 21st of March 2020 to the 15th of November 2021 is ~79,500. At that rate it would take 2,490 days (6.8 years) to reach herd immunity.

In both of the above scenarios, with a fatality rate of 1%, there would be 1.98 million deaths during the time span.

Other numbers that would be interesting in context:

- Number of hospital beds

- Number of ventilators, how quickly they can be manufactured, how long they're dedicated to an individual case (and bonus points for recovery rates of those who needed to use a ventilator)

- Medical oxygen usage rate and availability (India had an issue with running out of medical grade oxygen[3], although it may not be as much of an issue for more countries with more advanced infrastructure)

Thank fuck for medical technology and vaccine development (the age we live in!)

Yes, that is probably true: I have kept a minimum balance ever since opening the bank account so I am not really familiar with how it all works. I have heard the horror stories though about how the bank will order the transactions to incur the maximum fees (at $20 or more per transaction) if you miscalculate the balance when the bank account is close to empty.
