I guess Factorio is an idle game as much as Age of Empires, Sim City or Roller Coaster Tycoon is? That is to say, not really very much at all. Sure, when I go and make a cup of tea the simulation keeps on churning, and some numbers continue to go up. But I'm not playing for those numbers, I'm playing to make my city/civ/themepark/automated factory.

I'd never describe that as me 'playing' those games, I'd describe that is 'downtime'.

Directly caused is a very tricky question to answer on both the positive and negative sides. For example is someone who has terminal cancer who dies of COVID counted? Even though they are on a cocktail of drugs to treat the cancer they may well have lived for months or years later.

Similarly, someone with well managed diabetes, do we write them off as having a comortality even though they may have lived for decades longer by all available indications.
It's just so convenient to backup your physical media and use Kodi to play it. It's 100% legal, I swear I ripped it myself and just happened to lose the original disks.
Or they'll just give up on therapy because in their mind, they tried and it didn't work out for them. I've been there myself: you put in the effort to seek help, it backfired through no fault of your own, and that is enough to set you back such that you're in a worse place than you were before.

A bad experience with therapy, or an experience with a bad therapist, can do a hell of a lot of damage.

The reversible restriction is important because otherwise distributing PhotoDNA signatures of CSAM is distributing CSAM.
Score is 3.7 but it has 4 1-star reviews and 2 5-star reviews so real score should be 2,3. It's inflated somehow.
They probably realized that 256 bit is so ubiquitous already that it would be a major upheaval to all of a sudden regulate it. Seems like the intention could be forward looking to the future.
All else being equal (initial engineering and handling), an older car has a lot more wear and play in the suspension components. If you haven't spent much time under a car, there's a surprising amount of rubber there in the form of bushings.

Over time, the rubber loses its resilience, and doesn't keep things located as they should be for best handling.

Metal on metal pivots wear as well, springs get less springy, dampers degrade in damping ability, etc.

You're unlikely to notice at regular speeds, apart from getting in a new car and the handling feeling sharper. I presume at high speed and under the sorts of maneuvers one might try as a teenager doing teenager things, the results could vary.
... for now.

I am very pleased to see that the _current_ administration came to their senses and listened to reason. However, this is a fight i am afraid we will always have to fight over and over again unless right to encryption is codified in EU constitution or a similar document.
Learning a new language after decades of reinforcing the knowledge of a native language is hard. I’ve attempted multiple times. Personally, I don’t think it has much to do with physical ability as much as baggage from the previous language.

I am right handed. Learning to write neatly with my left hand would be difficult too. I don’t think my brain is less capable of doing it though.

And I'm just playing to improve my team composition in Clicker Heroes.

They're all management games from my perspective. Some are better than others. I've personally have played a lot of older, text-based management games as well, and the idle game-loop has similarities to the text-based games IMO, where things are a bit more abstract.

--------

Like, we all had Tamagotchi / Digimon / Pokemon Pikachu growing up, right? Those were idle games for sure, with some clicker-elements even.
Looks intuitive to me
The study itself didn't seem very rigorous and judging by the threads here, for once I am among the minority who read the article
Ask HN: What is humanity building towards?
What exactly are we as a species building? Judging from technological growth and general activity, it seems that collectively, we are striving for something somewhat cohesively? What could it be?

Happy to hear thoughts from any perspective; whether that be drawing from evolution, systems theory, economics or beyond.
That's because it's not offered as evidence. As you said, it's an anecdote. I've observed this pattern so often because schoolkids offer masses of kids. Every store had this same problem. I personally found it fascinating, but then, it wasn't my money.

The first issue is closed with a nicely written message of how hard tabs will be supported and why they aren't now. The second issue links to the first issue when the point of hard tabs are brought up. The FAQ you link at the end contains, directly above the section you linked, a version of the explanation in the first issue, while the exact section you linked also links back to the first issue anyways.

So yes, all of the quotes and conclusions you found are either old or wrong according to the very pages you linked. No, it doesn't need to be updated (or prioritized?) as they all conclude with supporting tabs you just hadn't read all of what you're citing.

.

If there is still any doubt for some reason rather than trolling through GitHub issues from 2017 I'd recommend sticking to the current FAQ from 2021 which has a section dedicated to this question: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/FAQ#why-does-zig-force-m... as this is the fully current and authoritative answer on the status of tab support, regardless of where bits of past discussion lay on the matter.

I do agree that bug bounties are too small, but isn't selling bugs on the black market illegal?

I would much rather get $40 dollars for a bug and some public acknowledgement (which I could use to get a better paying job) than to sell it for criminal use.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but I use a coffee machine at home (and this was after doing extensive research into moka pots, french press etc.) So from what I understand, the french press's plunger needs to be pressed, right? Does this machine do that?

> However, to be fair, total "Swedish" comp should also include public benefits, like pension, parental leave, free "stay at home with sick child", free university, free healthcare, etc

Does it? don't you pay really high taxes on the 75k to cover for the benefits you just listed? Whereas in the US, you pay a lot less taxes and probably equal or better health insurance coverage if you're a SWE.

I think another thing to factor in is housing and purchasing power. 200k in SF is different from 150k in the midwest or 90k in Malmö

It's probably illegal in many jurisdictions, no? Not to mention unethical. You are not just harming Microsoft here in this instance, but potentially millions of people.
>2) Natural immunity is more variant-specific.

How is it more variant specific? The gene therapy shots only expose you to the spike protein, whereas natural infection gives you exposure to the whole virus. As we see with omnicron, this variant has evolved so that the spike protein is the most changed aspect about it.
I have the same issue but the other way around with things like Github Actions. It's really easy to pull actions from the marketplace and apply them in your project. But now you have your linting and testing locked into Github with no easy way to do it locally. So your dev iteration cycle gets bigger. Generic linting configuration files get you a long way, but often enough there are small differences in the way test environments are setup that still causes issues.
Bug bounties probably act as a price discovery mechanism on the part of bug finders. They should also have a negative price premium bye to decreased risk.
>To prevent Canada's shitty health care system from being exposed.

That's crisis response, not a plan. A plan requires an end goal, a way to get out of the situation. Ok, we try to keep our already failing healthcare system from failing for a bit longer, how long? is this the best solution (as opposed to a paniced response)? what are we doing to get out of the quarantine-every-4-months cycle?

Our "plan" right now seems to be that we get lucky and covid just goes away on its own, but that has not happened for the last 2 years. It's time we start thinking ahead imo

EDIT: To clarify, I think crisis response is necessary when a new threat emerges, but after 2 years you shouldn't still be in crisis response
Great question - we just keep the encrypting keys on the user's device and in-memory. The keys are encrypted using the user's seed phrase that is only known to the user, and not to Slik.

Feel free to read more implementation details in our WhitePaper - https://sliksafe.com/whitepaper.pdf

Came to say this. It's only temporary victory, sadly.

The efforts to ban encryption won't stop here.
The phone system is a perfect example of why literally nobody other than a few tech purists wants federated communications systems. It astounds me how many still cling to what (IMHO) is an unworkable ideal.

The only thing that has made email remotely usable is that the service is concentrated in a few providers who spent a huge amount of effort to minimize the spam.

It's classic tragedy of the commons.

Obviously we don't have authenticated caller identity in the phone system and you can argue that would solve the problem of spam. No argument it would help but I very much doubt it would solve it.

For awhile you were able to IM Gmail users from outside Gmail (through XMPP). This was unsurprisingly shut down because the likes of Microsoft (Hotmail) didn't reciprocate (ie Hotmail users could message Gmail users but not the other way around).

Spam on phone networks continues because bad actors profit from it. For example, spam traffic is "laundered" with legitimate traffic so the exchange itself isn't blocked by other parties. It also gives plausible deniability.

These things are all inevitable consequences of federated communications systems.
I believe it was Bruce Schneier that said "Encryption is not a lock, it's a timer."
The Articles of Confederation were more like the EU, yes. The current US government as established by the US Constitution was definitely not, as it establishes a strong, central federal government with ultimate authority. The makeup of the senate, where each state no matter the size, has two senators was part of a bargain between the big and small states.
Kinda. Flash mostly died because Jobs/iPhone killed it.
There is one small but fundamental problem with your example: USSR was a state capitalism and not a socialist "state". Lenin expected a socialist revolution in Germany while it failed. It failed and freikorps killed Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht. For sure you cannot have a socialism in s backward country like Russia. Socialism, in Marxism-Leninism, as a science, is the dialectical negation of capitalism.
22- and 28-nm production technology isn't going to lessen fears about being dependent on Taiwan. Nice for a lot of chips needed though.
I take this is a form of propaganda. To make opposing nations consider the possibility that they have technology to break "data encryption using a key greater than 256 bits".
Wordpress “timeonsite” plugin is released free exclusively for WP users
What do you mean queuing? Are you thinking of the xdcc channels on IRC where end users would download releases (with publicly declared throttles) from typically hacked consumer computers on high speed dsl or cable connections (typically via netbios and no admin password)? Or just public FTPs (honeypots) of some sort?

The entire intro of this book covers the concept of prestige between topsites. A SE or CH topsite with OC3 and 2tb with top tier affils was obviously amazing. The need to be first was important, that was kind of the whole point. This is evidenced by groups releasing dupes getting said release nuked, the whole concept of racing (users simultaneously uploading zip/rxx files) with the sitebot declaring a winner based on % uploaded and site level nukes by a sitebot if the release was pre'd more than X minutes prior.

0day was the side door into a lot of sites. There was so much shareware that could be patched or unlocked with a serial with relatively little effort vs AAA game or movie releases. If your group affilled (initiate their releases on affiled site) you would be able to get a number of leech accounts (way more valuable than ratio accounts) on said site based on how prestigious your group was. Couriers were more disposable, as they had no ties to a release group (there were courier groups). Their primary function was to increase "liquidity" of content between different tiers of sites.
"Most TV's don't have built-in file managers"

Lack of a built in file manager on any device is an excellent indicator of "how bad the manufacturer is trying to reduce your freedom."

>based on the body of information that AMMS and its eleven research institutes use biotechnology processes to support Chinese military end uses and end users, to include "purported" brain-control weaponry

'''purported: appearing or stated to be true, though not necessarily so; alleged.'''

Though this other part is worrisome, if it is true.

>However, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has been working to advance military-research projects in the area of brain science, and hasn't always been shy about it.

>In 2018, PLA neuroscientists published a review detailing ways neuroscience could influence future warfare – for example by using brain-machine interface technology to enhance a soldier's capabilities, as well as through sound, light, electricity or even transcranial magnetic stimulation, or of course drugs. The paper also discusses interfering negatively with the heads of enemy targets.

Of course, consensus is often right.

A bit tautological. It is right to the group that developed consensus. Scientific consensus is a special case because you're talking about a consensus of experts. I don't see how the general public could have any power to uncover universal truths whatsoever. If that were the case, we wouldn't need science.
Ignoring which side is right: A critical part of HCI is "never surprise the user."

A feature like this shouldn't come as a surprise in an update. When deployed via the update, it should be optional and disabled by default. It should only be enabled by default after a major OS release, where UI changes are expected. (And, enabling a feature like this should be part of the typical beta/preview process that happens for all major OS releases.)

That being said: I wonder if covert audio recording on Mac is a problem. IE, did Apple need to "do something" about people being targeted by malware that records their audio?

They really can't though. Asics are designed to do the SHA2(SHA2()) function over and over again. A private key is any number between 1 and 2^256 power. An ASIC arguably couldn't even perform the operations to query the Bitcoin blockchain and see how many unspent UTXO's the private key's corresponding public key controls.
It’s a tough grade.
The story doesn't specifically mention that it was used, but definitely makes statements alluding to that.

If this is the norm for old, out-of-warranty Teslas (or any other expensive EV), what are owners supposed to do at the end of their EVs life? Will everyone just end up leasing? Will EV leases be replaced with EV-as-a-service?

Surely the trade-in value will plummet when there is so much risk involved in buying an old EV. Might there enough value in raw materials (batteries, motors, frame, panels) to make it feasible to hold on to an EV this long? Might the vehicle still be valuable enough to sell on a market of repurposed parts (batteries for energy storage, motors as generators for hydro/wind)? Will replacement/refurbished parts eventually become abundant and affordable enough that repairs as feasible as ICE vehicles?
Almost like neo-prosperity gospel. Very much agree.
multiprocessing relies on the OS' fork() to share the memory transparently to the child(ren). The pages containing the memory will refer back to the same physical page until they're written to. This is what grandparent meant by "sharing memory".

multiprocessing also provides a way to access the OS' explicit shared memory usually used as an IPC mechanism.

More of the same.

1,000 years ago most people lived their lives as much as they had to and lived their fantasies as much as thy could. 1,000 years from now, the same will apply.

The especially special standout of our period in time is that we think our fantasies are shared more widely than they are. The delusion isn't different in degree than people expecting the Biblical Apocalypse 1,000 years ago, and our descendants will have their own delusions they'll hold with as much fervor and as little reason.

Bit of a thread hijack, but:

I'm surprised at what appears to be the lack of a simple and lightweight "10 foot interface" for Linux. You have projects like Kodi and KDE BigScreen, but (as most people are noting here) a lot of us don't need all the bells and whistles (and e.g. compositing).

A 10 foot browser + filemanager + music player + movie player would probably handle it. "Mouseless" would be nice, but maybe not even that?

Is this out there and a bunch of us are missing it? Basically a 10 foot openbox?
Unfortunately, only the basic detection works when you're on prepaid. The calls will come in, but you'll at least be warned. No, I'm not going postpaid, especially given their history of data breaches.

Still, I like seeing "Scam Likely" when a robocall comes in. Too bad they insist on engaging my voicemail - my least time-wasting option is to just pick up the call and immediately hang up. I'm extremely lucky that my cell phone gets only a few of these a week, but that's annoying enough.
Bitcoin has a hard cap on how many will ever be in existence. If that's not the definition of real scarcity, then what is? Your implication that bitcoin is easily divided somehows means it isn't finite is simply wrong. Firstly it's not infinitely divisible, secondly things that _are_ infinitely divisible do not just become inflated simply because this property exists.

I find it rather revealing that so many anti-crypto blog posts offer no novel solutions, they only ramble on about how they know crypto isn't the solution. Seems rather uninspired to say you understand a problem domain but have no suggestions on how to solve the problem other than literally a solution that has already been tried at large scale and failed.

Sure, the gold standard in an alternate reality seems like a great idea, but we live in this reality where central powers were able to quite easily strip society away from this contract with barely any resistance.
Consensus: Fire is dangerous

Mechanism by which it became consensus: Hurting/killing the contrarians

Lots of consensus is so consensual that we don’t even hold it as a thing we agree on.
There was also a generation gap between the earlier builders of nuclear plants and now these. Lots of knowhow was lost as we paused building nuclear for a long time. I hope we can now keep on building new plants, riding on the wave of experience from the recent projects and keeping it alive to make future builds cheaper and faster.
While I do think this lowers severity in general, isn't the mentioned SK similarly good in that respect? Why did Japan have previous waves but not this one?
