Discord hides all NSFW servers on iOS now by default. They're just gone - you need to open it on a PC and enable a setting to get them to show up. At least they give you the choice.
You’ve never had a teammate who was just ALWAYS online on Slack? Or found yourself working on a weekend because you thought of a bug fix?

I agree that there’s a lot of blame-shifting that happens at work. But lots of people struggle to disconnect from work for non-malicious reasons, either their own or those of someone else.
She is famous because she joined the right startup in the early days. She has never demonstrated that she can repeat her success after driving numerous companies' valuation into the ground post-google. The media loves her because she share the same qualities as Theranos' Elizabeth Holmes. I doubt the other former senior execs at Alphabet would get the same kid glove treatment. It is the same story as Meg Whitman as they both fit the same narrative favored by the media. It is easy to be a generic exec at already successful company, especially if your first job propels you to C level. Fixing a failing company or building a new company from scratch is what distinguishes the truly excellent business people. There is a reason Jobs, Bezos, Gates, and Nadella are looked up to. They either built from scratch a successfully company, brought a failing corporation to success, or both in the case of Jobs. We don't shower praise upon Ballmer precisely because he did a bad job. It would be hypocritical to advocate gender equality by not holding the likes of Mayer and Whitman to the same standards. Just being a good manager and executive is nothing exceptional, you can find plenty to fill these sort of roles from MBA programs. (I will however admit that Yahoo's APM program is a true innovation)
> Actually, we generally don't even know the real rate of myocarditis in the general population. It's relatively common that someone is admitted to the hospital for another symptom and myocarditis is diagnosed, without the patient even noticing.

Yes, but wouldn't we expect this to apply to both groups at the roughly same rate?

> As for females, for any age, there is zero statistically significant result for myocarditis included to the vaccine, at all. So for all we know, the vaccine may cause zero myocarditis in females. It's almost certain that further stratification would help.

This is not true according to the pre-print (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.23.21268276v...), page 10. In fact, it shows that Moderna's second dose is associated with higher incidence rate against baseline. Though if we compare with post-covid, there is an overlap in the 95% CI --though IRR for 2nd dose Moderna is higher.

> The reason why there was not anymore stratification is because myocarditis due to the vaccine is so rare that if you do stratify it, you cannot come to any conclusion.

Fair point. Yes, certainly further stratification would lead to a loss in statistical power and making the point estimates meaningless, but it would be nice to see it in case there is still some point estimates that show statistically significant results because I suspect that the risk of myocarditis goes up inversely with age.
What’s interesting is in the past 5-10y the technology to run your own smaller dc (on the order of few dozens of racks) had become extremely commoditized. You can buy 100G switches for pennies now and every piece of software has a high quality open source version down to bmc level. I believe we’ll see a reverse trend for established SV companies in the next 10 years
Looks like it got hugged to death. It's 403'ing now.
People won't like this, but we at Ultra.io are trying to tackle this exact problem by deploying certificates of ownership to a decentralized ledger as proof of your owning a game.

AKA, we want to mint NFTs for each game sold, which allows a user to prove they own it. People hate those words, but we think that the tech has real value and a use-case in the market for solving inequity between publishers and users.

This nonsense of revoking a license after a user bought it is just an extension of the larger problem that the games that you "buy" you don't actually own and can't do anything with.
When I was working for Google as an SRE, oncall hours counted like 2/3 of normal hours. Whether an incident happened or not. (To give teams an incentive to clean up their service!)

You had the choice of idling off those extra hours with extra vacation or to get them paid out.

Oncall hours tracking was capped at 15% of normal hours, to give you an incentive to distribute oncall equally around the team. (I never heard of anyone seriously hitting that cap.)

Overall, seemed like a well-thought-out and fair system to me.

Look to the current lockdown in Xi’an — 13M people, one person per household allowed to go outside once every three days to get supplies — and realize there have been no lockdowns in America. Not truly.
I think interpreted/compiled difference makes this comparison unsuitable.

In fact, your parent comment are running into the same issue, Java is essentially a interpreted language running a compiler facade.

But when it gets to the compiled languages, all speed comparisons are now property of the specific compiler, and not the language.
All the research I have seen says vanadium is harder. That said, Sandrin Knives makes cutlery with a blade of nothing but tungsten carbide. This will outperform any steel easily. I have not seen a blade of nothing but vanadium. No idea if that is even possible.

Oh yes, I understand the lingo as a once-upon-a-time Canadian-Californian.

I'm only just saying 'there isn't that much confusion' elsewhere, it's not like Bostonians have super magical driving ability.

They mostly just have winter tires.

Winter tires with proper 4x4 and ABS etc. can be a pretty safe package.

> Documentation is lacking and the tools people use to write code for it suck.

Okay, I'm going to ask "Compared to whom?"

Nordic has been one of the better BLE chip manufacturers in terms of documentation, in my experience.

Most places use Keil tools directly from ARM. So, if programming these sucks, so does programming most embedded Cortex M4 chips. (No argument. Keil sucks. However, that doesn't mean that Nordic sucks any worse than anybody else).

And now you can program Nordic chips using Visual Studio Code.
I'm not sure how this would prevent the scenario the article described.

I think the idea is that NFTs aren't deleteable.
You do realize the creators are trans? I heard they initially pitched casting to have gender swap between virtual world and reality. Interesting considering the metaverse now and avatars and identity. Your just a small mind. Remember film is art and you have to work around the artist too.

Hertz common stock is currently worth more than $11 billion, virtually unchanged from a year ago.

Clearly, there's nothing "inevitable" about bankruptcy proceedings.
From the article:

> Unfortunately, there’s also a clause in the ToS that no credit will be given back to the user in cases of account termination or suspension. The company’s support page also cites the General Data Protection Regulation compliance and freeing database space as the main reason why they delete unused accounts.

Again, how would NFTs fix this problem?

A solution to the problem described in the article would be a very trivial service that just logs in on behalf of the user at whatever cadence necessary to preserve account "activity", not NFTs...

Imagine a Beowulf Cluster of these!
Another view is that it's a great illustration of the relative price trends in the last 50 years. Healthcare has gone way up in price, and tech way down. What was a supercomputer 50 years ago is now a small fraction of the cost of a chemical test (which requires FDA approval).
> Call me a monster but I want my daughter to know a world much more similar to what I knew 2 years ago

I think you have your causality mixed up a bit.

When I was younger I would take my coat off in the cold early spring to protest the fact that it hadn't warmed up enough, and, mostly in jest, insist that it was taking your coat off that harked warmer weather (when obviously the reverse is true).

In this case you are trying to do this same with masks, hasten the end of something you don't like by pretending it isn't happening. Unfortunately this ultimately makes a worse world for the both of you.

You obviously aren't the "monster", the monster is the thing that scares you so much you lose all reason, and confuse your causal arrows so much.

It's unfortunate that the world is in a state of decline right now, and I understand wanting to turn it back. But like all people who have tried to stop change by resisting you only ultimately end up making it worse.

It's because you can't accept the way the world is changing that it will progress this way faster.
Have you opened a Twitter account with that wit?

The fact is that you cannot verifiably compare those numbers to traditional finance hacks, because they're simply not transparently reported/cleaned up before the damage can be noticed.

Don't fault a good in-built bug bounty for bringing about the next generation of strong, distributed infrastructure.
I for one am glad you wrote the essay, this was incredibly informative and filled in a bunch of blanks I had after reading what I could scratch together on the MinION product. I think I'm in a partial state of shock at how accessible this is becoming. Thank you!
I agree that it seems unfair that Tumblr has to deal with this while Twitter for example does not. Nonetheless, IMO it's not without reason. At least as of not long ago, it was much easier to accidentally bump into or see recommendations for adult content in Tumblr than in other social media. There's plenty of memes about "girls" being a banned term now, but Tumblr was notoriously full of CSAM.

I don't know if and how much Tumblr has improved in these fronts recently, but say what you will about Reddit, Twitter, etc. if you don't look for sexual material, you won't have it on your feed. They're also very good at keeping illicit material out of the platform.

I really hope Tumblr gets better at moderation. Outright banning a bunch of terms like this sounds like a desperate attempt at just getting rid of porn after years of not being able to control it, but far from an actual moderation strategy.
> If someone uses a lot of acronyms, complexity, and jargon to explain something to you, they probably don’t understand it.

It also somehow frame someone who maybe so deeply involved in a subject that, although understanding everything about that subject, still cannot more clearly explain it to someone else. I don’t think this is like “they probably don’t understand it” as much as “the listener can’t understand it”.
Lovely, way to make a mess of a pile of shit. You solved nothing.
Agreed. I should have added to my initial post that I think language speed comparisons are absolutely stupid for the reasons I mentioned.

I don't go around saying C is faster than Java. I just say Java cannot be faster than C.
But my receipt proves that i own it . It's just that publishers don't care .
It's part of the market. But it's not the only driving force.

Who does DevOps teams anymore? Don’t you know that all devs should also be ops, and you can cut your staff in half?

Ummm.... current MS windows is ~ 50million lines of code.
30%-40% debugging is between 15-20million lines of code.

Hopefully, 30%-40% debugging of 15-20 million lines is not done
all in one sitting.

Changing to an embedded OS, say kontiki OS under 5,000 lines of code,
would make for debugging only about 1,500 to 2000 lines, or about
a 10,000 fold reduction by dropping 10's of millions of code libraries.

On the other hand, first recorded bug was pretty easy to see/fix.

Back in the day, when soft-ware was wool via jacard loom,

Of course, fixing the bug issue(s) meant breaking out the crochet needles to
mend the problem. Pearl was taken pretty seriously then.

short take: even if https://hackaday.com/2021/03/08/laser-zap-that-mosquito/ works 100% of the time for 100% of the bugs; the unseen bugs will still make it through.
It's a misunderstanding SSRIs "make you happy".

They are powerful manipulators of brain (and body) chemistry.

And yes, you are right to suspect taking SSRI for 10 days is a problem, most SSRI have serious withdrawal symptoms too and interact with common things like caffeine very badly.

But that pfizer pill is months away from significant quantities which is way too late for omicron and nothing else works on it (like MABs) so doctors have a big problem with no tools in the toolbox.
The Quest hardware is off-the-shelf displays and SoCs from smartphones. Its selling so well because its not specialized.

People usually understand circumstances like these.

Also, if that interview is really important to you, talk to the family. Move your seat. Talk from a coworking space, or from a park or similar public place provided that you have a headset; I did talk form a park, worked well.

A C compiler can be written in Java. Therefore, by "definition", Java is faster than C.

Ah yes, it’s well known that as a single user, I totally have the power the meaningfully affect Facebook/Clearview/Google/etc when they do something to me, or with my data that I deem unacceptable.

I can’t effectively sue them-they have an army of lawyers and can throw more cash without blinking than I can muster with years of work. They also have near bulletproof legal clauses. Simply deleting my account doesn’t do a lot against any of them (facebooks shadow accounts, googles pervasive ad/product network, clearview already harvesting all the data they need) and they have harvested so much, or have so many users, that the loss of a few over some principal means literally nothing to them.

So yeah, I’m pretty happy for governments to regulate companies into the ground on my behalf: if they demonstrably can’t be trusted to do the right thing, then they can suffer the consequences.
The article title is "Why is C Faster than Java".

I would expect to see Java, C#, C, C++, and Rust mentioned quite a bit in the threads here. It's all relevant.
There's no reason to program in C# if you already know C++.
You really are scared of what's happening aren't you?
This comment has self-destructed.
Your idea does nothing to force the service provider to retain your account, or even to provide you with access to the game media. Proof of ownership isn't the issue here. Ubisoft isn't denying that the user purchased those games. They almost certainly know exactly which games were purchased. I more or less trust the game services I use to keep a record of what I own in their central ledger. They could still deny me access, as they're doing here. Maybe some regulation should address this, but I think the market will probably handle it.
There is already proof that a user owns it, ranging from company sales records to receipts of purchase. Nobody seriously disputes the purchase and the company would not dispute it in a court of law. The problem is that you own something the company has a right to terminate.
Mail servers should just be configured to stop delivery between 6p-8:30a of they’re really serious about it.

Like many other people here, I have played a ton of HoMM 3 in particular. One under-appreciated aspect was the scenario editor- as a kid, being able to make my own maps, challenges, and hidden secrets was a feeling of immense power.

I still play HoMM 3 several times a year- play a few maps, use my normal terrible strategy of one super-powerful hero and a few heroes to ferry troops around, and enjoy the nostalgia.
This article is a great example of why we need legislation around ownership of digital items. I generally hate getting the government involved in things, but if you're paying money for goods, there needs to be a way to be credited or receive your digital goods in a way that still works without your "account".

Personally I always get kind of nervous around buying things on PSN, Xbox, Stadia, Steam, Oculus, etc. If they ban me, do I lose my thousands of dollars of games? That doesn't seem right (and no, I don't really care too much about what the Terms and Services say).
I'd love to hear about other possibilities. This space is currently heating up, for the reasons discussed here.

Currently when people choose it to be an application, it's usually a React / Angular / Svelte application. Purpose-built tools fulfilling their purpose.
So you've literally reinvented "but I have a receipt!"
Well, I would prefer that people would discuss alternate systems programming languages when "C is fast" comes up.

We could use some perspective from, say, Ada programmers. Unfortunately, none of them ever seem to show up.
In theory, sure, it has all the benefits of being immutably on the blockchain.

In practice, the whole ecosystem around NFTs is built to trust OpenSea's version of truth, so the records can be manipulated at will.

Can hardly blame people for talking about modern languages in a discussion about obsolete ones.
Mapwith.ai is a great tool that lets the server draw the shapes of the buildings and roads, though you still have to fill out the data by hand. The tool is maintained by Facebook, but the front-end[1] is a FOSS fork of OSM's RapiD web editor, and OSM is the type of project that strongly benefits from corporate contributions.[2]

People aren’t losing their receipts here, the games are being taken away even if they have them and can prove they bought it. More durable receipts won’t fix it.

Please put the nazi card back into the deck. You and I both know that we are not in nazi germany, nor is asking people to get a jab (and to accept that their actions - or inactions - have consequences) even remotely close to the plight of the Jews during the Holocaust.

I think the rest of your comment is worth responding to, and I will do so in a separate comment. However this is such an inappropriate comment that it deserves its own reply. I've linked some resources below where you can learn more about the Holocaust because it's clear that you're at least a little bit uninformed.

Yes, absolutely. People in software get paid well enough and have enough other options that freedom of contract is the best policy.

Let people know upfront what they are getting into, and then let them make their own choice about whether it's worthwhile or not.

There might be some argument about whether this kind of 'consenting adults' approach to labour regulation is the right or wrong approach for less well off people. (Many people seem to think that the poor are like kids and need to be protected from themselves by someone who knows better what's good for them..)

But for people in the ever-booming field of software, that's a hard argument to make.
Yes. Plus, beginners are sometimes more likely to attach to jargon they don't understand. But even that says a lot about their _desire_ to understand, which is also laudable and worth encouraging in many cases, not exactly a failure of competence.

they had a database entry linking his account to a purchase. it's not like his access to the game was forgotten. they just chose not to honor it. a blockchain proof isn't any more compelling than the info they already had + his payment records.
Not correct... because Java could not run that C code.

Whereas Java written in C could run Java code.
Runtime classloaders expose a huge blast radius. That's unfortunately a Java language feature.
