I used to be a SuSE fan until 2003 when I switched to consulting. I became a SuSE Gold partner peddling Suse Enterprise / OpenXchange (SLES/SLOX) and they sent us with pre-alpha grade quality to do digital transformation to companies with +5K employees.

Most of their tools were cardboard cut-outs with severe bugs and lacking functionality. I did this for 6 months losing 3 key clients that were important for my survival and almost went bust.

They have lost the plot the moment that they introduced yast2 (their only ever value proposition at the time compared to other distros was yast) everything there went downhill since.

I haven't seen a SuSE in the wild since the same time. SAP / salesforce seem like a good fit for them. They're equally dependent on consultants like me whose jobs is to perpetually apologize to customers. I don't think SuSE has much of an impact outside Germany.
If you consider "NFT" to be a unique asset represented digitally, no they don't. A lot of games and software deals with the equivalent of NFTs, in the end it's just tracking ownership of something with an unique ID.

However, for all the NFT features (mainly being able to reliably transfer ownership without relying on any specific company) you do need a blockchain.
I don't, but I've definitely seen examples of non-syn proc macros that were super-fast.
To the untrained eye, it definitely is a huge cost center. Devs and smart people get premium dollar for their work, as they should, but for the bean counters, execs and bad managers, it's extremely difficult to simply quantify the work in such a way to see it as a value add. Especially in an executive excel sheet/powerpoint
Trust. People are more eager to purchase something if it's not tied to a specific company or platform. This is why art NFTs are so popular -- nobody trusts a single company (OpenSea, Foundation, Bitski, et al) to stick around forever, but the NFTs purchased are platform-agnostic. This played out explicitly recently, when "hic et nunc", a Tezos NFT website, shutdown suddenly. No NFTs were lost; everything people had purchased lives on the blockchain, and any other Tezos NFT website can display and sell them.
Yes, same here. Can't login via iOS app, Bridge, or web.
I know of three spiritual teachers who describe psychedelics as a door to the spiritual world.

Ram Dass the Jewish Psychology Professor at Harvard/Hippie/Hindu. See his famous book Be Here Now. [1] He passed away last year

Fr. Stephen De Young and Fr. Stephen Damick (PhD), Eastern Orthodox Christian priests. Psychedelics are mentioned near the end of episode 2 of their podcast. [2]

Marvell has their DDR3+4 initialization straight on GitHub: https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/mv-ddr-marvell (even this includes a Synopsys blob for the PHY, but only on some platforms — no blobs on A70x0/A80x0 thankfully)

It's really stupid that other vendors can't just do the same.
I have never seen non techie users open notepad or edit config files. In fact I've heard people say that Notepad sucks and that MS Word is better, meaning they are so non techie they can't imagine a use case for notepad.
Ubisoft won't be building transactional support.

NFTs are pogs.

You can't use your Cornflakes Rooster Pog to unlock Minecraft content.

There's no point in moving around your Ubisoft pogs. You can't use them in Fortnite.

And because anyone in the world can print cardboard, they're infinitely inflatable and worthless.

They're rows in the database. That's it.
They aren’t giving up control, they’re hoping for a fat payday by taking a percentage of all secondary sales in a hype driven NFT market.

In the case of Quartz they’re also trying to do an end run around consumer protection laws by refusing refunds and grant users a very strict licence about use. You can’t even display them on video for example.
> I don't get how Blockchain technology is in a publishers/studios interest.

It's not, and they're not going to give up the control needed to deliver the hyperbolic claims being made by blockchain PR people. The question the studio executives are asking is not “how could we make this more useful to our customers?” but rather “How can we get those speculators to give us more money for the same feature?” or “How can I have my own cool project to brag about over cocktails?”.
There is a similar article here https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2019/go-compiler-internals-add..., where the author adds the `until` keyword to Go compiler.
Nobody cares about 'the company' -
"In US the average share holding lasts just 22 seconds"

Management can break the law, leave with their bonuses, and years down the line 'the company' gets fined.

Employees are the ones that might be there for decades, but the anglosphere shareholder model allocated 0% stake to employees.

TThere are alternatives:

Codetermination in Germany is a concept that involves the right of workers to participate in management of the companies they work for.
It's remarkable how dysfunctional some organisations can be, especially larger enterprises.

Then you have the problem that the reward for good work is almost always more work.
At some point I think you have to just step back and laugh at all of this. It does seem pretty hopeless.

I mean seriously consider the news that has come out in the last few years.

Trumps "Russian collusion" - oops it turns out that this was actually literally manufactured by his political opponents in tandem with the intelligence community.

A virus which obviously leaked from a bioweapons lab - no don't notice that, what are you a racist?

Jeffrey Epstein - just blatantly assassinated while he was in prison. Cameras go off for a few minutes, and come back on with him dead. This is called a "suicide" by all of the trusted journalists.

Joe Biden's kids laptop gets leaked/stolen/whatever and is full of obviously damning information about a yet-unelected political candidate. Claims are that it's fake, that it's Russian disinformation, and thankfully twitter and facebook come along and ban any discussion of this, then demand that the newspaper which broke the story make a public declaration and apology for that apostasy - oops just kidding it actually turns out that the laptop was legitimate this entire time, and oh by the way that same kid will just blatantly, in your face sell his "artwork" to people for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then oops those people end up with positions in our government.

And now this. A journalist covering a story about a person who was selling the ability to rape young girls which she was trafficking to our political elites is banned from twitter for the coverage. Oh and also there is somehow apparently almost no coverage of this story on any of the nations major news outlets. CTRL-F "epstein" on cnn, msnbc, fox news, and nytimes comes up with 1 result for a book that one of the victims wrote.

This is so, so, so far beyond anything that I could have imagined 10 years ago. We're completely lost, and the people who are supposed to be helping us find our way out seem to be the ones that set us off course to begin with. It is existentially horrifying to me.

---

I think it's obvious what a horrible detriment twitter (mostly twitter, imo), facebook, and reddit have become to our society. The scary thing is that they're the journalists at this point. So imagine it's the 1960s, and the cigarette companies are not only the ones selling the cancerous product, but they also have the ability to unperson anybody who suggests that the product is bad for you. I'm really not sure how to solve this, aside from completely unplugging from society. The problem there is that when you do unplug from society, what you'll find are extremists. It's the same effect as voat, parler, gettr, gab, etc. They're the dissident free speech bastions, but what that means is that they're full of people who have been exiled from polite society. That is not an abyss I want to stare into for too long.
I actually sought out techniques to do very similar in Unity for a Saturn/PS1 inspired 3D platformer I’m developing.

It’s such a cool aesthetic, I’m surprised it hasn’t ‘caught on’ yet as a modern design fad.
Not sure there's anything left in Hubble that would be classified. Maybe the control software but the spy sat it was based off of is decades out of use by now.
As usual, the Guardian pop-sci crap.

It's almost winter, no catastrophic heat waves in the hemisphere so what choice do they have...
The only case where NFTs genuinely make sense is where multiple services want to cooperate and all voluntarily recognize a user's ownership of some token, but the user does not want any of those services to be in charge of controlling the database that records and validates those tokens.

So, the NBA, NFL and MLB might all hand out "I'm a VIP sports fan" tokens, and Nike, Adidas, Red Bull etc.. might treat you special because of it. You can't dupe it. But, you can transfer it to anyone you want and Nike can't take it back.

I am also not a security expert. But you seem to be correct in both cases. The spiped website also has an example of encrypting SMTP traffic between two servers in an spiped condom.

> This is the only argument I've seen opposing the removal of dislikes so far. Are there any others? Even silly reasons, anything other than "bad tutorials tho"

Is that argument not enough? It is now harder to distinguish good videos in a video platform filled with sub-par content, any other argument would pale in comparison.

That is exactly what happened and that's why they approached Tim Cook.
One can also put CloudFront before the S3 bucket.
It's been surprising how much I stopped thinking about social media entirely since doing this. Not to mention that the mobile web experience is often purposely crippled to try and funnel you back into native.

Add in the need to get my timeboxed 2FA code to login and I'll begin to realize how little there is to gain relative to the trouble of actually logging in.
It was both. There were two separate software based on the same underlying technology:

* ToroDB Stampede[1]: MongoDB replica, converting on-the-fly documents to relational structures. Targeting OLAP, as data normalization made queries from some % faster to 2-3 orders of magnitude faster.

* ToroDB Server[2]: what DocumentDB is or FerretDB is planning to be. It was less developed than Stampede, certainly.

The UK is interesting in that only about 70% of the population is fully vaccinated, which seems to be less than the proportion of Covid-releated deaths that were fully vaccinated. This isn't because the Covid vaccines are ineffective at preventing death - it's just that age has a much bigger effect than vaccination on someone's risk of dying from Covid, and the high-risk age groups are almost 100% vaccinated whereas the lowest risk are largely unvaccinated.
>"C++ has nearly as many rabid fanboys "

My impression - not even remotely close. Mostly it is the subject of bashing.
The PS1 is extremely limited in terms of hardware. This is about liking the aesthetic but being able to create without the limitations the PS1 put on us.

The PS1 has 2MB RAM. The average consumer laptop these days has 8GB. My dev laptop has 16GB. And that's just RAM. Video memory, similarly; allows us a lot more physical space in our game areas while still retaining this aesthetic, if we choose - it allows more enemies, or objects on the screen...more complexity in AI, etc, etc.

None of these have to do with the visual aesthetic, but are all previously creative restrictions we no longer have to deal with as creators.

I'm a Homebrew dev for the SEGA Saturn, whose architecture is actually way more of a pain in the ass to dev for than the PS1 ever was - but I do it specifically for the challenge and joy of learning the ins and outs of the hardware.

That being said - in no way would I want to take on a project specifically for that architecture, especially because; if the project is successful in any way - porting it to another platform would be a nightmare.

Much better to use something like Unity, or - if you're a 'total control' kinda person, SDL, etc.
I’m using it for the first time and have been wondering what all the horror stories are about.

But then realize those horror stories were from 15+ years ago.

Did we need Rust?

Or did we need to build out the C and C++ ecosystems to make them easy and safe?

How many hours spent on all these languages for a few folks to build fiefdoms upon? Every human endeavor has a group of swindlers that tell you they’re helping but in hindsight often looks like they just got in the way.
>You can inject into an existing kernel and not trip the signature modification using obfuscation

Sounds awfully close to what malware does lol.

If you feel like participating in a large scam, perhaps. Personally I would feel bad and I rather not touch this.
What you're talking about is a very specific special case. Of course, when you develop and a share a way of circumventing a system restriction, the owners of the system will make your exploit ineffective when they discover it. Complaining about that is like criminal exploit developers complaining that patches get developed once their exploits are sold into the wild.

Nobody is going to stop your general purpose productivity tools from working because you shared them.
11 GB for only HTML…? How many documents are in there…?
> If it's possible for a player to control their private keys (which it is if there's any ability to transfer NFTs to a wallet outside of the game)

I don't think it is possible. Apparently they can only trade on two third-party marketplaces, approved by Ubisoft. I guess that the private keys and blockchain nodes must be tied to Ubisoft accounts. Also,

> Players who don't meet any of Ubisoft's requirements "will not be able to acquire Digits whether on the Ubisoft Quartz platform or an authorized third-party marketplace, nor have another player transfer their Digits to you... If you are not eligible, the transaction will fail."

It doesn't seem to be just an EULA.
You misunderstand- our planning was to prepare for a scenario of that extremity.
There hasn't been a complete matrix. Using moderna as the booster when you started with the other two is best. In the case of J&J moderna as a booster is significantly better, pfizer slightly. However if you had moderna to begin with we don't know. There are many other vaccines out there have haven't been studied at all as well.
Never drank city water, it's always disgusting regardless if it's toxic or not.

I've put in and maintained 3 RO under sink systems, but I've never heard of a countertop one. Does it have a product tank? How much are the consumable parts?

Currently, since I'm in an apartment, I have a subscription at an independent commercial/retail water store that has a 10-stage system. My mom's house has a 3-stage whole house water filter down to .2 micron, a water softener, and a 6-stage RO filter with UV sterilization. The whole house and RO systems use commodity parts and filters so they're not as expensive as those branded ones with proprietary "easy change" filters.
You can set Tab Completion to Menu Complete and it will show you all the options.
Zig is actually quite a bit younger than Rust. The first release of Zig predates the 1.0 release of Rust by a few months, but that was also a pre-release version. The earliest versions of Rust predate Zig by around 4 years.

The axie infinity model looks alright. There is verifiable work in breeding the axies.

Too bad the game is boring; the future roadmap is stale compared to upcoming competitors; and the dev team has become deluded from their success derived from first to market.

That's a funny way to spell "saying things"
Regarding the YT dislikes, the reason it's still available in the API isn't some sort of oversight by the developers - the rollout is most likely A/B tested and once the test completes they'll remove it from the API completely or hardcode it to a static value (for backwards-compatibility with older clients).
When buying ebooks, I find one can get drm free ones in epub/pdf with watermarking from the publishers often enough and not locked into kindle. the prices are sometimes higher/lower/same but the product is better.
hey! author of the submitted post here. I did refer to Eli's articles and they were incredibly helpful. I have mentioned them in my post too.

This was the only post I could find on internet which talked about Go compiler internals.
> By the way, using Go as an example is a joke since -- from the early Go bootcamp I attended in 2014, the best practice has been to use a 3rd-party http router (these days: gorilla? httprouter? chi? etc) instead of the one provided in the standard library.

You're mistaken. Using a third party router doesn't lock you into a particular subset of the ecosystem. E.g., I tend to use the Gorilla router by default, but I can use it with any middleware that implements the standard http.Handler interface.
C++ for shared mobile libraries, though the more recent projects are going the way of Rust.

Objective C and Java on clients, some Kotlin.

JVM in other places with Java for services, and Scala for EMR/Spark jobs.

Most of my back end runs through AWS though I moved some services on Azure now (mainly just to learn but it worked fine enough to move it for a couple production environments).

For storage I have my own Postgres instances. Way cheaper than any cloud. If I need regionalization and better redundancy, might move to AWS eventually.

Day to day tools involve Omnigraffle, Omnifocus, and iTerm2. Yes, everything on a MacBook Pro with a 1440p 120hz monitor.
If the incentives are right, that effort is worth it. By incentives I'm not talking about a $15 TGIFridays gift card and a mention at the company meeting, I mean a meaningful portion of the value generated, rewarded quickly not "maybe next annual review".

Many organizations punish the members who work hard with more uncompensated work like you have described.
Ubisoft's NFT plans make perfect sense to Ubisoft. All of these NFT schemes companies keep announcing are just blatant cash grabs.

There are people who have a small amount of money and desire to part with it in exchange for nothing more than proof they parted with it and a dream of getting rich. And whenever that happens, lots of immoral parties will spring up to take advantage of it, no matter the externalized costs.

In most cases, these things are being run by small-time scammers offering big companies free money in exchange for using their IP. I can't really blame non-technical companies for falling for a slick pitch offering revenue at almost no risk.

But Ubisoft's approach is special. They're running the whole thing themselves. They already have pre-mined however many currency tokens they want, and they can mint as many new NFTs (strange name, as they actually seem pretty fungible aside from their ownership history) as they want. They own the whole ecosystem in order to extract as much money from it as the suckers will bear.

It's slimy, but it fits right in with Ubisoft's history of being slimy, and much worse. They know exactly what they're doing here. It's up to us at large to determine whether we find that acceptable or not. Sadly, I think far too many people will accept it as long as they get their next Assassin's Creed or Far Cry.
The distinction is purely academic and it explains the "why" but doesn't change the "what". For all intents and purposes the components have some features inaccessible for [reasons]. Similar to how features licensed in software are still usually present in the shipped libraries. What makes the difference are the price and the licensing terms for unlocking that feature.

Chips have been known to have perfectly functioning blocks disabled, or frequency limited not for improved yields but simply because the demand for a lower end SKUs was so high. Unlocking them was a matter of penciling some fuses, flashing a firmware, or simply changing a setting in the BIOS.

If anything this kind of licensing opens the door to "hardware piracy" where under the correct conditions you may be able to hack older, or unsupported hardware to gain the full functionality.
One could almost replace C++ by Scala and C by Java in the text :-)

You quite possibly hit the nail on the head. Sometimes, far too often, random people doing nothing underhanded become a false positive statistic for some sort of automated malicious activity detection and have their accounts suspended for no good reason.

But other times, those automated malicious activity detectors are doing their job correctly, and people really ARE doing something underhanded, and the giant corporation in question chooses not to air their reasoning in public, which is probably the right call (from the corporation's perspective) most of the time. It's hard to know from the outside which one of those two things happened.
Just FYI, these are not compliant either, but the same problem above is the reason they're still around.

A compliant cookie banner (or rather consent flow, as the GDPR covers more than just cookies) should not be annoying - it should be as easy to decline as it is to accept and dark patterns aren't allowed.

> I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Drivers obviously interact with each other and with the rest of the system via all kinds of in-kernel interfaces.

But the total footprint of the interfaces that typical drivers use is fairly small. When a rusty shim is provided that provides access to those interfaces, you can write pure rust drivers.
