My point is that there's nuance in it, given this same "feature" of licenses (remember, you generally don't "buy" these games, you're granted an indefinite license to use them) allows game developers to even operate online PvP games at all. Without it, developers would legally be unable to ban people, even if they're vulgarly racist against other players, or if they're cheating and auto-snapping to people's heads to achieve high-kill count games unfairly.
QNX is the only compiler I've ever used that removing a comment broke my code at runtime.

>something like 66% of all graduates leave post-graduation.

This isn’t surprising to me considering 47% are out-of-state students to begin with (at undergraduate level, at least)[1]. This is a very different picture than the rates of a comparable public university like UCLA or UC Berkeley.

Not too sound too skeptical but I’m doubting UofM would try to change this due to the financial incentives of receiving out-of-state tuition.

5 days of normal eating, 2 fasting, every 7 days. That is the definition of IF in all places I have seen it mentioned. Skipping a meal now and again isn't really fasting at all.

On a much smaller scale, I once worked for a wireless ISP. We had a customer who called in late September saying her service had been out for a few weeks. I went to her house and discovered that she was in a wheelchair and couldn't reach the controls for her air conditioner, so she was turning it on and off using the on/off switch on a power strip that was sitting on a desk. Her router was plugged into the same power strip. So as soon as the weather got cool enough to not need the AC, she lost her internet.
She is the GOD mother of everything.

I think that while your common sense is correct, the title of just "Architect" is protected legally.

To become a licensed Architect, one must have a degree from an NAAB-accredited program, complete 3,740 hours under the guidance of an Architect, and complete a long and difficult 7-part exam.

He can call himself a Software Architect, Information Architect, Technology Architect, or any other variation — but he is not allowed to call himself just Architect and can be sued for doing so.
I’ve been using PlainOrg for a while through the beta, and I just wanted to pop in and say that it’s great! PlainOrg is great for reading and basic editing of org mode files. I find it much nicer to use than BeOrg. The latter has more complex features, but PlainOrg definitely wins for most day to day usage.
> (the opportunity cost of a failed therapy, which generally takes months, is huge)

To say that someone is harmed by finding out what doesn't work is a bit of a stretch. You can only talk about opportunity costs meaningfully if the costs of each opportunity (those taken and those not taken) are known beforehand. To say the opportunity cost of a failed therapy is part of an intrinsic dilemma is to say that not knowing what will work is an intrinsic flaw to all decision making. While it may be true, it is neither meaningful to point out, nor exclusive to therapy.

Many people go through several different programs before they find one that works for them. The fact that you might have to narrow down which one works for you is not "harm".

I still don't understand what TFT is supposed to mean, could you explain?
Because the "trap" was a local optimum for solving the problem adults would probably only figure out they were applying the wrong rule if you told them their score was low. But they'd figure it out pretty quickly if you did...

Skimming the study, it seems like the kids' ability to learn the correct rule by "exploring" was cancelled out in some of their tests by their ability to completely forget it when new [irrelevant] information was introduced in the form making the objects a different colour

Also kids aren't guaranteed to catch up adult scores if they're more likely to lose motivation. We're talking about a study that noted it excluded a participant who "refused to continue after seeing the sad face" :D
Loops that depend on some graph (say, mutated in place) to reach a fixed point can present a challenge here. You have to reason about the algorithm that changes the values at the graph nodes, and whether it guarantees forward progress toward a fixed point.

Floating point convergence is another risky thing in this category. If you're iterating to convergence, the test has to nail it, and if there is any risk of it going sideways, there has to be some exit strategy baked in.

I think more than once in the past I've added a maximum count to some loop that might not otherwise terminate, more than generous enough not to trigger as a false positive.

I seem to recall that Donald Knuth's TeX famously has some infinite looping detection in some of its formatting code. I can't find any references to this via web searching, though.

Another category are mutually tail-recursive functions. The termination of a tail-recursive network of functions could be as hard to prove as a goto graph.
Introducing a maximum iteration count could mean adding a count parameter to many of the functions, passing count -1 and checking for dropping to or below zero in more than one place.
How have I misrepresented it by saying it is as effective as a self-help book?

The thing about therapy, is that you usually want benefits to last for a duration that makes the effort put in worthwhile.

>Only four studies looked at longer-term outcomes after CBT.

>No clear evidence showed maintained improvement in symptoms of anxiety among children and young people.

If you take a look at the results further they conclude:

>The few controlled follow-up studies (n = 4) indicate that treatment gains in the remission of anxiety diagnosis are not statistically significant.

I'd like to remind you that "significant" in the context of a meta-analysis means "statistically significant." If something performs at the level of a self-help book, most lay people would agree that is not a very effective treatment, even if it has a statistically significant impact.
If maximizing the current income is your goal you should consider contracting over FTE. As for the optimal ways - every country has its set of "vehicles" to minimize taxes which usually boil down to establishing LLC type company that pays low CIT instead of high PIT and making use of the capital earned by that company. The question is how deep down that rabbit hole you wanna go and how much time to spend on that. Very often it's not worth the effort and your brain cycles may be better spent for learning new skills or trying to find a higher paying job :)

I don't think there is one unified goal but a series of suggested changes.

For example, in the linked article (https://www.reuters.com/technology/dozens-us-states-sue-goog...),

"The states want the consumers to get their money back. They also called for civil penalties and a court-imposed monitor to ensure Google eases the process for consumers, app developers and smartphone makers to use or promote alternatives to the Play Store and the official payment system for 20 years. In addition, the states seek to stop Google's payments to Samsung and developers."
This is true, particularly in developed nations. [0]

I made it a few years on the gov side of this equation and had to quit. Like you say, there are certainly lots of bright people…but just as many (if not more) lazy and willfully ignorant people punching the clock and keeping the money faucet turned on regardless of the quality of output, if only to pad their performance reviews (executed x dollars managing project of y size) and keep their budgets from being cut. This attitude is insidious too, as I found myself becoming guilty of the same apathy and laziness around the time I decided to break free and throw myself back into more challenging and meaningful work.
Thanks, you're making a good point. I like how you phrased the problem here, will ponder about updating the wording of the post slightly to reflect that.

Routers know how to figure out what route to use for a given IP.

If they apply this algorithm to the source IP and find that the optimal route to the source is a different interface than it was received on, that’d potentially be a red flag. But if the optimal route to the source is the same as the optimal route to the destination, that’d be a huge red flag.
This is really interesting. I remember that the GTA 5 build log file was leaked back in the day. It contained a lot of interesting information too (e.g., something along the lines of an "auto play bot" which failed at a certain mission).
I'm looking forward to some summary of this soon in a blog/Youtube video :-).
That being said, it's a shame T2/R* is taking down/suing mods for this type of bad port. Despite being way ahead of any other game company in terms of R&D and innovation, they sadly decided to outsource these "definitive"versions and pay little attention to QA.
In any case, imho, the best way to play any of these original games is on a PS2 (probably even with a CRT TV) as that is the way the original developers really built it for.
The asset pipeline is a seriously underrated and challenging part of game development. When you start having hundreds of meshes, animations, textures, etc. it becomes an interesting challenge to make the iterating feasible and enjoyable. I work on a game that used DCC tools as the editors + exporters and the workflow did not age well. I agree strongly with this article that a game editor that reused the engine internals is more ideal. It gets even more interesting and tricky when you have a networked game!
Cornering the whole internet is their business model. Besides, advanced DDoS protection is paid.

BullMQ – Message Queue for Node.js Based on Redis
Hmm, anyone know if they fixed some of the exponential time issues it was having? I was really excited about some of the features and tried it a couple years ago, and it died before getting very far sync'ing my NAS to a usb3 jbod I plugged directly in to prime it for a rpi4 network attached backup. For something like that I would expect the backup speed to be a few hundred MB/sec and it quickly was just running in the 10's of MB/sec and getting slower.

I've noted this before that my NAS has a tendency to kill a lot of backup applications that haven't really been stressed. Its about 50 something TB of data, made up of a fair number of compressed video files, family movie kinds of things and about ~7T of source files. The combination of a crapton of tiny files and 50T of data kills most of these more recent open source backup applications, which seem to be released with the "it can backup my laptop" testing.

Also, I see someone mentions it sill doesn't have a compressed block option, which I really want because most of those source files compress to about 1/3rd of their space, which is important since my upload speeds are crummy (thanks spectrum!) I wonder how much of that deficiency is just lack of good go compression routines that can run at a few hundred MB/sec.
If it's antitrust then some sort of breakup would be the ends.
Yes you're 100% correct about that, but the cost of properly disposing of a failed drive (e-waste) is insignificant for Chia.

The real cost is from buying the drives, which is not e-waste. You'd have to convince me that there are enough unrecoverable nonrenewables in disk drives for this to be a significant "environmental" cost, and I think it clearly is not.

I find it sad that all this is coming from state AGs and not from the DOJ and FTC. It just shows how corrupt our federal institutions are due to regulatory capture [1].

I still remember how Google escaped antitrust enforcement during the Obama presidency. There was a "revolving door" for Google execs and White House officials who would fill positions at both places [2].

When FTC prepared a massive report of Google's antitrust violations [3], the enforcement was quashed as a result of White House lobbying by Google's lobbyists (most of whom worked for the government a year or two prior.) [4]

Lots of emails were released under FOIA showing how (former) Google execs who were at the White House told the FTC not to bring on the lawsuit. [5] [6]

That’s a bad idea though, and the past 30+ years of OOP has laid-bare all of the problems associated with not having compile-time object type safety. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should…

Outside of prototyping and quick-hacks, there is no legitimate reason to use `dynamic` in C#/.NET: instead, the moment your program receives or handles a “late-bound” (i.e. untyped) object your program should verify its actual type and then access it only through a wrapper type (be it an interface, struct, or class) which is how you can enforce guarantees about that object. This also applies to reflection (so have all of your `GetMethod` calls during the wrapper’s ctor and use Action/Func wrappers over MethodInfo).
Meh. I don't think it's technically difficult to just ship binaries that work on any distro, as it's incredibly common - Firefox, Blender, Arduino, Cura all manage it just fine. Mostly they just come as a tarball you unpack, occasionally you get an AppImage so you don't even need to do that. Technically it all works fine. But the Linux world still holds a cultural aversion to running mystery binaries, echoing from a time when the sense of battle against proprietary software was felt more keenly than it is today. Expecting people to run binaries they didn't compile was considered rude and antithetical to core values; distros being the only authorized exception. Even today, attempts to dislodge the distro as the official distributor of binaries are met with controversy and suspicion.
That's a very different case. The HN article is about the Ad-rigging system abuse, not the consumer choice app store lawsuit.

No. It likely won’t break up Google. It really would have little effect on the consumers, in my opinion. This is about protecting the interests of large advertisers and publishers.

It's correct in my experience. My mac refuses to recognize 2 independent monitors in the following setup: laptop -> USB-C -> dock -> 2x 1440p@144hz Displayport monitors. Supposedly this is because Apple doesn't implement the entire Displayport spec, I don't really know the details. My windows laptop handles this particular setup just fine, but forgets one of my displays at work every so often. It's a mess.
FWIW, I just saw the downvote and I totally did not understand why you were downvoted. You're just spot on w/ keto and epilepsy and I nowadays find religious fasting quite interesting. In fact I find religion more and more fascinating the older I get. Not in the sense of actually believing in a super human creator being but in the wisdom distilled into these texts.

Unfortunately I don't remember the name but very recently I heard a (Christian in this case) scholar on the radio talk about the bible and religion in general that really resonated. He wasn't reading the bible and other ancient texts quite literally like so many of us do. He saw them as regular people describing the world they saw and distilling the wisdom they gained and wanted to preserve in the pictures of their time. His interpretations just made sense to me and I says that as a totally non-religious person. And that's because they weren't dogmatic and "religious" or prescriptive, like so many a preacher is the Sunday before an election, telling everyone who to vote for.

As mentioned before (both here in another comment and other posts on HN), I find the population control aspect of religion very fascinating. In the currently active world religions this will probably not be seen kindly and more like heresy. But just the fact that many of the major religions will see each other that way too is fascinating. Or even slight variations of the same major religion for that matter. Usually it's much easier to talk to people about this for long lost/dead religions and it's fascinating how they see those aspects in those religions, but not their own.

As much as I admire him, Feynman was also no stranger to "Proof By Intimidation." So, skepticism about his claims was always warranted if you couldn't follow them yourself.

This is the difference between engineering and academia--abandoning an incorrect claim or assumption may carry a cost. If you are engineering something, someone might might actually hold you to your claims and start allocating money and resources. So, your claims had better be accurate.

This is part of where the famous intransigence of engineers comes from. "Yes" and "No" are difficult answers. The world is full of "Maybe". Having the intuition from experience to pull the trigger even when the answer is "Maybe" is what makes you a high-level engineer.
