Server-side yes...client-side NO. You can do with you computer and the software running on it ~whatever you want...and you can throw TOS is the bin...TOS are not laws, more like unsigned contracts.
Literally. The Amiga 3000, at least, is incredibly easy to recap. Even without all the possible upgrade options, the base machine with 16 megs of fast RAM, two megs of chip RAM and a decent drive on the SCSI bus is wonderfully usable.
> Malware is subjective

Torrent programs get silently deleted, LibreOffice and other FOSS installers get big scary warnings [1], installing an open-source audio package pops up no less than seven warning screens [2], but Riot can install a literal rootkit to only a single "this program will make changes to your computer" notification, in a friendly blue color.

It's painfully obvious Microsoft is looking out for its own interests, and those of its corporate partners, instead of their users, when they subjectively determine what is malware.

I don't see how a union-busting institution which has produced and continues to produce some of the leaders of capitalist society, can be construed as 'embracing far left ideology'. As the author rightly points out, their commitment to 'social justice' is entirely superficial.
California has a warning for cancer-causing chemicals and sites. It's called the Prop 65 Warning.

And it's _everywhere_. Turns out there are qualifying cancer-causing agents around every corner. Including gas stations, and no one doesn't go to the gas station because of the posted Prop 65 Warning.

So everyone ignores it. It has no effect for all the trouble they took to implement it.

It's curious how I totally had the same kind of "logarithmic" recovery that some other people wrote in other comments here. It might be how the brain reacts to that.

>If it is criminal to cheat it is not a game anymore.

It never has been a game in the sense you're implying here, that's to say as an informal arrangement, you're literally signing a TOS for a piece of software you're going to use abiding by some rules, it just happens to be a 'videogame'.

And I don't just mean it it in a pedantic sense, but a lot of these games involve money, either by paying for the game or by paying for content, not just gambling, and if someone ruins a product you paid for that's pretty bad.
Having seen many hours of FSD beta on Youtube, with the most recent updates, I am convinced the FSD driving is safer on the highway than humans driving. I bet the stats for accidents per mile driven are much lower for FSD than humans. It does stumble, very gracefully, in really unusual circumstances when driving in city streets. But it's so so close to covering these outlier situations.

If I could choose to have only FSD teslas around me on the highway, or only human drivers, I'd pick the FSD every time.
Try Googling "gachapon" to get an idea of how bad the epidemic is globally. These games have existed for a good while in Japan and China, and their sole purpose is to extract value out of people with obvious impulse problems (in both the real-life and digital incarnations). It's really just the abuse of capitalism driven to it's extremes; game companies will go "whale hunting" to try and create situations where limited-time assets can only be acquired through insane spending, and repeat it until their users either quit or run out of money. Seeing all this talk of incorporating Web3 into everything only makes me afraid of our gacha-ized future.
Because for some students the debt is paid off quickly, so in the long run the lower taxes from the state not paying for everyone's education make that student better off. For other students with useless degrees, the consequences of their actions come home to roost with their debt.

That being said I do think student debt should be dischargeable in bankruptcy. As is the market for education is dysfunctional.

I agree, but comments could also be static. Have a service handle comment submission, regenerate the page a bit later. If displaying to the user is an issue, do it client side. Most websites use a moderation queue anyway.

One could even generate a dedicated HTML page for the comments, and include it in an iframe, although inlining them is probably more performant.

Hacking open source. I would love to see architectural overviews and code tours of major open source projects
Somewhere at the end of last century, start of this one. I personally gave up on playing games on non dedicated hardware. One of the main reason I did that, was that it was becoming clear that games, was shipped with something that looked a lot like a root kit or a virus, and if you didn't want that on you computer, you couldn't play games on it.

So for me, I went with a console for games, but a dedicated PC works as well. But from my point of view, a PC with games on it, that is security hazard, and should never run anything you want to keep private.

> If funding was good, then commercial products would serve the purpose.

Not sure that's a solid affirmation, especially given how there are many open source projects receiving funding that often outcompete their commercial counterparts. In particular I would point out the major open source backing foundations such as the CNCF and Linux Foundation who help to fund their own projects. Would you say that these two organizations and their projects are not serving their purpose or are being outcompeted by commercial offerings?

I don't think not being able to teach how to ride a bicycle is due to being limited by words and language but more limited by muscle memory. Riding bicycle involves controlling multiple muscles at the same time, and doing it just without using subconscious and automatic part of mind is impossible.

It is the same reason as you can't teach someone to play guitar by words without actually making them play and see the mistakes, even though you are perfectly capable to teach which area to press and how to strum and even make the person memorize the sequence.

Oxford has a similar problem.

Not so long ago, Oxford University elected its own MP. The University appears to have a stranglehold on the planning committee. During term-time the population of Oxford is dominated by students (the resident population is only about 140,000).

I really like this town; but I'd really like it more, if political control were returned to the permanent residents. This isn't going to happen; most of our political leaders and senior civil servants went to Oxford or Cambridge, so those two schools are favoured over their native populations.

Incidentally, when I refer to Oxford as a "town", I am referring to the custom that you get to call yourself a city if you have a cathedral and a bishop. Well, the Bishop of Oxford doesn't live in Oxford; the cathedral is in fact the college chapel of Christ Church college; and if you want to visit the cathedral, apparently you need a note from your parish vicar confirming that you are a practising christian.

I despise elite Universities.

/me graduated at London; colleges like Kings and UCL have elite reputations, but I went to a lesser college, one that no longer exists.
Such a good guy.

Counter-intuitively, I wonder what gaming would be like if everyone ran the same cheats/mods? Would it be the same as "if everyone is rich, then nobody is" or would it devolve into such a state where cheating/modding gets so boring that people just go back to casual play ...

On the other hand, gaming is now a big commercial entity, including 'pros' and 'streamers'. With money involved, fraud and cheating ain't far behind.
Yes, this is something that should end.
By peg, I meant cap. Colleges will still compete on price for better students, so practical degrees will more or less remain the same cost.

What will vanish are $150k degrees that have no or little value in the market.
> I've seen it hypothesized that higher risk-aversion from a media-inculcated culture of fear could be responsible for Americans' unique disinterest in international travel.

I suspect it has more to do with the distance between most of the US and other nations combined with the variety Americans perceive within their own borders. Hawaii and Alaska are very different climatically and to a lesser degree culturally from Iowa. In many other nations national borders are closer and there's no intervening ocean, or perhaps only a narrow, theoretically swimmable strait, separating you from the next nation over.
Online advertising stalks you even if you're not looking at the ads. Opting out of online advertising basically means you need to go live in the woods and never interact with modern society again. Every interaction you'd have with technology will have something to do with ads one way or another, even if just buying paid products in a physical store thanks to Bluetooth/Wi-Fi MAC address tracking, face recognition, not to mention loyalty cards (but at least you can opt-out of that one).
is it not possible to have a licence that says if you want to use this code to sell a service for a profit you must contact the owner and negociate a deal? this way if you are developing in the open source bubble you get to use software for free. if you want to build a service you get to test the software for free and if your company takes off then you must pay for your foundation.
Ah, yes, I remember clearly, server run by actual people that kicked you because you were "too good" and "obviously cheating".
That's right. I enjoy phrasing social problems in the language of software engineering so I'll do that here. The structures which enable these salaries are a Chesteron's Fence[1]. Shooting from the hip ignores second-order effects[2] and is a thought terminating rhetorical pattern. It's the equivalent of trying random code to fix a bug without doing root-cause analysis. If I tried to do any of these on a development team I'd expect someone to take me aside and kindly explain the consequences. For some reason (which I'd be happy to understand) all of these valuable mental tools are left on the bench when we move out of development and into other realms. They are powerful techniques to understand systems of all types -- we should aspire to use them whenever we can.

If someone drives a little slower than average, it shouldn't be an issue. So I assume you are talking about really slow drivers.

If someone drives very slow, there's probably a reason why they are going so slow. It could be:

- they are distracted

- they are tired

- they are lost and don't know where to go

- they are intoxicated

- they don't see well at night or because of glare

- they are inexperienced

I don't think telling these people to go faster is going to make anyone safer.
My SO is a physician assistant, which requires a graduate degree. The tuition alone at almost all of the PA programs is >100K and acceptance rates are low (<20%) so most people don't really get to choose where they go. Most of her class graduated with 150-250K in debt with 5-8% interest, they're a year into working at understaffed hospitals and are already burning out.

Quitting and getting a different job is not an option because nothing else will pay them anywhere near enough to cover the $1800-2500/month tuition payments.
Not only that, but these statistics that always get cited leave out federal subsidy of state and municipal bonds through tax exemption of interest payments - allowing states to pay less than they would otherwise. And the states with most the most taxpayer supported debt (both state and municipal) tend to be blue states. The explicit purpose of this system is to reduce the debt burden for state and local governments, yet its not considered a subsidy by these stats because the federal government isn't directly giving anyone money.
> One article in their website suggests tying education spending to performance

What's wrong with that? That's how markets work, and they work well.
I think most people don't fully understand the implications of things like this - it's not obvious in normal usage, so how would they? Cheating in online games is salient, but if you told the average person they had a program running on their computer, I imagine their answer would be "so?"

But if it was clearly pointed out in the OS, and the OS said something along the lines of:

"Riot anti-cheat is running in the background. This program may monitor all of your activity on this computer and track your physical location while you use your computer."

...more people might have some second thoughts.

Genuinely wondering how this is working out for you and if you have any pictures of this setup that would be interesting.
It’s difficult to support undergrad without good researchers and an accompanying grad school. Or rather, it is superficially possible, but in a couple generations (academic ones, i.e. in a decade or two), as graduates of the school assume teaching positions, a kind of vicious circle of degeneration sets in where the curriculum discards connections to the actual state of the field and successive iterations of courses fossilize while working out more and more minuscule kinks of an ultimately flawed pedagogical approach, usually that of the “founders” who last had contact with actual science. (Nothing against those founders—most pedagogical approaches are flawed in one way or another—the wrong part is doubling down on those flaws.)

It’s a not uncommon (if also not universal) thing to happen to applied maths departments, especially those where mathematicians aren’t allowed or encouraged to do their own thing. Bad high school maths is essentially the ultimate endpoint of this process, see e.g. Quinn on the “revolution in mathematics” in the Notices of the AMS[1]. A more high-brow example is perhaps how no undergraduate physics major in a Russian university includes group theory(!)—because Landau thought it useless and annoying (he was not the only one among the greats to think so, though perhaps the last,—look up “Gruppenpest” for more), and that was when official university physics programs in Russia detached from actual research.

Unfortunately, the amount of places in the world doing fundamental maths, places diverse enough that you can stand in the hallway and find someone who can explain to you a subject far removed from your own (that’s essentially what counts as “world-class”), is perhaps a couple dozen, certainly not in the hundreds. As long as they exist at all, there’s hope that with enough cross-pollination the whole thing will not die out, but losing even a single one is literally, through these kinds of knock-on effects only visible over a period of a couple of decades, a blow to the collective knowledge of humanity.

(As a late-Soviet—early-Russian apocryphal story goes:

“Why are you not emigrating?”
“I have people to talk to here.”

[Ten years later]

“Why have you emigrated?”
“There was nobody left to talk to there.”)

IIRC the server isn't technically open source, but has been heavily reverse-engineered and, for customization purposes at least, might as well be. Most/all of the major extension/plugin frameworks are open source as well.
Programmers have another common example of how a belief in transmissionism often doesn't work out as well as the author hopes: the monad tutorial.

Here are other examples I can think of:

- Learning programming in the first place. Many people struggle.

- Teaching rhythm to an older adult with no musical experience.

- Ear training. No explanation will substitute for practice.

This isn't to say that explanations never work and you shouldn't try, but rather their hit rate may be lower than you think, that coming up with the right exercises might work better, and that beta testing your work is important.
Every dollar paid to the government in taxes is a dollar someone else earned. People are going to complain about that, and it is entirely fair and just to do so. Whether it’s a good idea boils down to where your own politics are, so that’s always going to be subjective.
Criminalizing cheating in a game is insanity and I am shocked and appalled that this idea has so many supportive comments here.

Most Republicans I've talked to including my college friends reject Trumpism, but also reject toxic Berkeley's wokeness. So, I am in the same boat it feels despite of different labels. It was actually eye-opening talking to some old friends with whom I used to disagree in college, but now we're more mature and in our late 30's - and far more rational about things.
