With package manager I mean nuget. The last time I used .net (one year ago) ".Net core" was a target platform and already renamed to ".Net".

No, that's not a preference. I'm not complaining about a lack of options, I really don't care how code looks, if it all looks the same. And it fails at that. It quite often simply takes the code as it is and indents it a little bit. Clang-format (and rustfmt and dart format and plenty of others) give you the nice, tidy and homogeneous code layout i expect from a auto formatter.
I'm assuming they want some protection against adtech companies or the local coffee shop sysadmin. Running Firefox in the cloud "to avoid detection by the NSA" would indeed be quite foolish.
I do this, but no apps, just a plain old google sheet. I sometimes miss several days due to forgetfulness and neglect, and have to recall what I did.

It's also a great way to estimate how long projects take - pretty much thanks to past data. And you can use the data to tell how productive a company is - I had one whose project iteration times are a full 50x longer than what it took to do it yourself.
I'm somewhat conservative. This ain't that. Run 80 websites for 80 false front nonprofits that peddle whatever opinion the corporation who funded that one asks you to run . Oh, and be creative! Bring some zesty fun to the job.
Exactly. People walk back and forth and put stuff out of order so the whole thing is very inefficient.

I just travel light. I can fit a laptop, toothbrush, phone charger, electric shaver, and a week or two of clothes in a backpack. I remember packing more when I was younger but I don't remember why.
You can exploit this nifty fact: in a pixel grid if you color a pixel at (x, y) based on whether (x & y) == y, you get a discrete, right-angled approximation of the Sierpinski triangle! Transform x and y appropriately to get the equilateral version.

> So let me get this straight: companies are offering a recreational product, games, on terms you don't like. [...] you want to get the government involved? For games?

That's an absurd argument, just because it's "games" it does not invalidate the argument here. Would you not raise the same concern if Apple/Google closed your account tomorrow and you lost access to all of your movies? They also count as "recreation".

Or one day, Microsoft/Apple deem your account to be causing abuse and terminate it. Your Windows license/macOS data is bound to it, and your computer is suddenly unusable because logging in returns an error. You're bound by a EULA and they're fully within their right to do this, you're just licensing the software. Would you still think "I will just not pay them money and go to someone else"?
Because it's flawed. It's an easy bet to say that regulation will end up being ineffective and/or worsening things.

Asking for regulation is kind of "gnome underpants" plan where regulate -> X -> profit. X is extremely complicated.
"Late stage capitalism" is a meme beloved by early stage interns.

They're dying for capitalism to end so they can fulfill their rightful role in society as anime appreciaters who are paid $150K a year.
Static compilers can do PGO as well. In practice though, the benefits of PGO in languages like C or C++ that rely on static dispatch are small enough that most people don't care, except for programs that are extremely performance sensitive (compilers, browsers, AAA games etc) where shaving off a few % can make a difference.

What JVM wins in PGO, it loses in other areas, and the end result is often still much slower.

An anecdote: I had trouble participating in the Ethereum network properly, but then I synced my timeservers with Hetzner's NTP servers and things resolved. And at the time of writing, around 15% (roughly 500 nodes) of Ethereum nodes on hosting providers use Hetzner (though it seems it is consistently decreasing): https://www.ethernodes.org/networkType/Hosting

The likely reason for forbidding the applications is that syncing deteriorates the disks heavily. Nevertheless, they seem to be widely used to this date, as time synchronisation with them seems to have positive effect on node operation effectiveness.

The current question is if lockdowns are required if the severity is way down.

It just takes a while since they want to be sure of data coming in.

Just relax ... It will take some weeks/months to confirm, if omicron is mostly harmless.
How Does This Get Read?
You're reaching a classic physics/mathematical limit that arrises from asking "why" questions. To understand this concept further you need to understand concepts from chaos theory, specifically attractors, but it may be difficult to explore further if you are not then satisfied.
You can still run them. I mean just don’t do it on an account that has anything you care about losing on it, though usually everywhere gives you a warning.
The GIL is less about python being easy to embed, than it is about embedding other libraries into python. The GIL was set up to make it easy to wrap C code and expose it to python code. A task for which it served quite well at the time and to be honest lasted longer than I would have expected.
Yes, but C is an intermediate step. Actually multiple back-ends are supported. JS is another one. Perhaps there will be more in the future.
Then you are not working for the devil, you are sabotaging the devil. Not really an answer in the spirit of the question.
Ah that's interesting thanks - particularly the bit about 15% of Ethereum nodes using Hetzner.
Short story.
In 1998 I was a junior web designer at the company that had the contract w/ Sansome Street Associates (AKA, Banana Republic, GAP, Old Navy, and the Mendocino Redwood Company). Guess you didn't hear about it, but the MRC was bigtime into chopping down old-growth redwoods while they were pushing trendy sweaters through their Old Navy brand.
So it fell on me to build the MRC website. They wanted it to look eco-friendly and wholesome. After the initial review, we met with them and they basically said it looked too slick and professional. They said they wanted 'something that looks more granola and hippie, like it was made by an amateur, so all the enviro fucks emails can go there to die.' I paraphrase, but, we had to reduce all the images to 256-color dithered GIFs and make the email form malfunction on purpose. They paid the company I worked for somewhere north of $100k for this website. (I was making $8.50 an hour). My immediate superior quit as a result of it, and I followed her shortly thereafter.

It was a good lesson when I was 17.

Also, long before he had announced that his father was this asshole, that was the year I could play every single word of the Silver Jews' "Natural Bridge" - and fell off the stage at the Blue Lamp on Jones and Geary with a harmonica, in the middle of playing one of those songs.
A few months ago I pulled my PS1 collection from storage to rip to ISOs, for emulation and backup. I was too late as the discs, despite being in fully opaque containers, were damaged and partly unreadable, one disc was 50% unreadable. And this is all for emulation -- if I wanted to play on a console I'd need a modchip to read CD-Rs, so if you backed up your Blu-Ray PS5 discs today, you wouldn't be able to play them on a legitimate console in the future.
I'd argue that the US awards its less priviliged citizens much less oportunity than most other industrialized countries. There's a lot of poverty in the US, and huge differences between rich, middle class, the poor and the really poor. Most are in denial about these problems, and think this situation is fine because they like to compare to developing countries with even bigger poverty issues (in this case India), forgetting that most industrialized countries actually treat their poor people better.

No app at all. Because that leaves a gap in the market for a native alternative.

That means a potential reward for the patient/smart/etc developer who knows native code, which means a better class of developer, which in turn means better software.

And it means more native apps for the platforms, which means a better class of app.

In short, everything is not better when Electron is everywhere. It actively damages the ecosystems of the platforms that host it.

The last nail in the coffin for the argument of vaccinating young children. They have “statistical immunity” from covid itself and as this article shows, the notion that the vaccines significantly prevent transmission is fanciful at this point.
I mean what's the alternative? I don't think dumping kids out of school is going to improve anything for anyone.
Vaccine do not prevent spreading, their main advantage is reduce hospitalization and death

> I'm spending like $20/month to pay for house that I own.

Even assuming you own the house outright (which is not true for most people that have bought a house less than 30 years ago), that number seems ridiculously low. In every place I've lived, the land taxes alone are an order of magnitude higher than that. And then maintenance for the house is on top of that (something that people renting don't pay directly).

I know renting has its disadvantages, but owning a house certainly isn't cheap either, even ignoring the price of the actual house.
Thanks - yes I am a bit square w.r.t. rules.

Addressing a vitamin deficiency doesn't hurt, but it's taken a lot of data to figure out vitamin D's relevance to COVID. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8669943/#!po=1.... There are so many people with low vitamin D levels that it would be hard to blame any one outbreak on it.
While the car is gone, that's one less car in your fleet that you can rent to someone else. I think there's some implication here that even if they are recovered, the stolen cars aren't necessarily brought back proper running condition. It's even more of an issue (like during the pandemic) when cars are in short supply and thus more expensive to replace.
I'm generally apatheistic, but live as if a more playful zen buddhism is "spiritually correct". Closer to church of Dudism if you've ever seen that parody religion.

Ubisoft is under no obligation to honour your transfer of ownership of the NFT. They can just stop accepting it as valid any time they like.
none whatsoever.
One of the things I find fascinating about the use of the names 'car' and 'cdr' is the 'c' part of it. As a developer who rights a small to moderate amount of assembly, I would tend to refer to the value in, say, 'r8' as 'r8' almost always -- I recognize the difference between "the register named r8" and "the value stored in the register named r8", but it's rare that I need to draw that distinction.

On the other hand, in writing (and more importantly in teaching!) C and C-style languages, I find that one of the strongest tools for ensuring understanding is to distinguish between "the variable named x", "the value of the variable named x", and "the value at the memory location named by the value of the variable named x." In C we use * for part of this distinction; it seems like the 'car'/'cdr'-era equivalent would be to distinguish between 'r8' and 'cr8'/'*r8'.

idk, this whole 'studying happiness' sounds like you're trying to trick yourself to be happy, but that's an ignorant take without looking for myself.

I know can really get down in the weeds, hierarchy of needs, Buddhism, philosophy, etc...

I think that as a sentient/alive being, your mind will always be on/running. And actually having problems like being broke distracts you from the fact that time counts down and you exist regardless of what you do. Mainly to stay alive and avoid pain.

Even if you have money and didn't have to work/have freedom, how long till you're bored. Anyway I have plenty of reasons to be happy you know like I have family in a third world country with parasites, barely have access to water, here I am paid to write code, running water, hot shower everyday, etc... I used to stack biscuits into a box for a job and hated myself, I changed it.

Life is not so bad (but it can be better, Wonder woman meme).

Anyway I'm just rambling here
Perhaps the next iteration of such tracking would be values for related series of objective measurements that should improve with the investment of time. Continued exercise should yield improvements in weight, speed, endurance, etc (at least for an individual as young as the OP).

Malcolm Gladwell often trumpeted "deliberate practice." Does the OP receive feedback regarding the quality of his musical practice or the form displayed during physical exercise? Does that yield greater gains per time?

More (most) importantly, what are the GOALS of these activities? The ultimate assessment would be the extent to which such data, discipline, and tracking actually spark progress in the desired direction.
The App Store should have a blanket exception for any app that shows user content. The hypocrisy of shipping Safari, Mail, and every Stream Movie App is astounding. I do not want a company with fake morality determining what my morals should be.

At this point we need a new set of laws to govern the openness of app stores.
MS are a special case as they keep the Xbox 360 store & library up for BC reasons, even adding older games to the catalog when they get publisher rights. I would actually trust them to keep it online. (And Sony recently changed their mind on shutting down the PS3 store and are keeping the PS3 download CDN up)

As for Nintendo, I'm unsure but optimistic -- the Switch is their first console that seems planned to be (able to be) used with 100% digital purchases, I'm not sure if games will be buyable forever but I bet they'll be downloadable.

IMHO, there won't be a shortage of computer programmers for the next 20 years. I'm over 40 too and never experienced any issue with my grand old age. Since you seem interested by software development, I'll tell you the ultimate secret to working with computers: tutorials. That's it, there is no need to be a grand master at one specific piece of technology if you struggle with a simple script on an OS you have never worked with.

My secret is to learn and know "enough" about every OS, every language, every framework out there. Of course you're starting and you don't have either the time or experience to do everything, but do it anyway, slowly, one task at a time. Compare, study a bit, read, and have fun. Also, don't be scared, no one knows everything, you just need to know enough to be able to help (and learn at the same time).
Maybe in 1990. As soon as you start networking your systems in an office network, you do. Keeping your personal files separate from the OS/system files is also a good practice in general, to prevent accidental corruption, etc.
Typically this is called a "upgrade", eg, "We upgraded you for free!"

Gee, thanks.

I’d say ABAP and T-SQL are quite similar.
Care to elaborate on the transformation? I'd love to hear more!
The NSO could get root on anyone’s device knowing only the phone number.

If NSO does it, so could the intelligence agencies of dozens of countries. Looks like a hopeless situation, where a small percentage of population have access to anyone’s data (but not conversely).

This is posing a threat to the democratic society.

There ought to be a way to make a secure device.
Wow! As someone who at some point in life was intensely meditating (nowadays less so) your routine reminds me of my habits, ie. falling asleep meditating vs praying etc, meditating upon waking up etc. Interesting how we can be so different yet similar!
Ask HN: What accomplishment are you most proud of from 2021
The point is that a language can be faster than the language it is written in - all or for the most part - depending on how it is used. Saying "the theoretical performance of Java can never be faster than the theoretical performance of C" is a tautology and pretty useless - especially if in practice the Java libraries handle normal operations better than the average C programmer.

Receipts are already a universally accepted proof of purchase, nobody is questioning that the games were purchased. This is a solved problem.
That's not even remotely true. Companies have laws to abide to per country, that's not even possible to implement now.

Eg. In Europe reselling is possible because of a court order put into law in many cases. They don't like that, so it's not done in the US.

And in this case, you are ignoring basic licensing logic: group licenses for Enterprise, discounts, beta licenses, ...

Add usually, NFT fanatics are ignoring all logic of the real world and just say "NFT's are better" lol.

There's probably a mindset of having to use IoT (or close enough) no matter how inappropriate the use-case is. Like how people try to find reasons to use a blockchain, or rewrite something in Rust, or host a kubernetes cluster.

A low-tech solution would be too boring or easy.
I made a slight revision on my comment: it is 15% of nodes which are run on hosting providers. Therefore, the 500 nodes does not constitute 15% of the whole network, as only 70% of nodes run on hosting providers: https://www.ethernodes.org/network-types

We wouldn't survive for long without insects, and we'd notice the rot buildup in our environment very quickly without them.

It's not about "biology". It's about roles in the ecosystem.
As an atheist, I believe humanity — in general; not at an individual level — does indeed need these kinds of fictions.

I didn’t believe this a few years ago, but Yuval Noah Harari changed my opinion with his book Sapiens.
As a Python and Linux user for more than ten years that kind of thing gives me pause. It's great for recreational code as it expands the mind, but terrible for professional code. Idiomatic usage is really important in professional code. You want it to be like Cypher looking at the Matrix; "I don't even see the code, all I see is function, loop, conditional".
Perhaps due to the storage space not stopping at the trunk lid level, but continuing vertically upwards?
It really depends on implementation in-game. I think GOG has worked on API for crossplay with Steam for any game developers who are interested.

In general, if the developer wants DRM, the developer gets DRM, so the options on GOG will probably always be years behind other platforms and usually not include multiplayer experiences, in terms of AAA games, that is.

Makes sense, given that some coins are absolutely destroying hardware to a point that the usual profitability calculations get wrecked as real MTBF of stuff like SSDs is way lower than expected MTBF.

Additionally, anything involving cryptocurrency is the equivalent of running on a battlefield, carrying a t-shirt with a crosshair print on it - hackers will target you and your provider to get at the coins, and on top of that providers already have to fight a torrent of people using leaked credentials or stolen credit cards to mine cryptocurrencies.

We are at a point where there are so many negative things associated with cryptocurrencies that it might be the best option to globally ban that shit forever:

- hardware being unavailable for retail buyers because crypto scalpers buy up everything... GPUs, CPUs, RAM, HDDs, SSDs - name a resource and there will be some coin that can be efficiently mined using it. Supply chain issues are bad enough already, the last thing we need is get-rich-quick idiots and scammers to accelerate price hikes.

- second-hand markets being destroyed by a glut of former mining hardware, the equivalents of a car with 500.000km on the clock

- environmental impact from all that waste

- environmental impact from the electricity used to run all the coin networks. There are first-world developed countries that use less power than Bitcoin, people are even running formerly decommissioned coal plants to power coin mine operations

- the impact on society that comes with the huge financial motivation for criminals to take over clients, servers or cloud computing accounts just to mine coins or to steal wallets

The only good things that came out of cryptocurrencies was a kick in the butts of Western Union and friends and democratizing drug use to a point where there now are solid majorities for legalization.
It’s all about probabilities. Vaccinated people have less of a viral load and infect fewer people. It’s never all or nothing. Reducing the r-value even by just 0.1 compounds in huge returns in exponential growth scenarios.
