I guess the difference I'm trying to make is between "it personally isn't worth that to me", which is of course entirely valid, and a more objective-sounding statement of "games cost too much", which I think any objective analysis would say is ridiculous.
At this point a visual query builder (like in Access, SSMS, DbForge and plenty of other tools) is more capable.
I've been working within the Liberal Democrats to try and push policies that are pro-privacy for the past few years, revoking some of the acts put in by the current Conservative government and pushing new ones to protect against future government breaches like this. Unfortunately, it simply doesn't stick when polled to the general public. The average person simply doesn't care it seems, no matter how you frame it, and as such it's almost impossible to break ground into updates to the party manifesto. I tried the same thing within Labour a few years before and the same barriers existed, with the added fact that many of the MPs seemed to be cut from the same cloth as the Tories, and that they were incredibly resistant to change outside of their traditional focuses (NHS, Unions, Immigration, Education, blah, blah).

To be frank, it seems like most politicians would rather be at war with the technologically apt than to work with them. All we can hope is that technologies adapt at a faster rate than authoritarian governments can, and the witty can outwit the witless.

But then that isn't interproccess communication.

If your boss said "we need these two programs to have lock free IPC through memory" and you said "use MAP_ANONYMOUS" they would say "that is local to the process tree and won't work".

You can try to ignore the context of this thread, but if someone wants IPC, this doesn't work.
Well, you can do as I do and work for a company that is owned by the employees. I have plenty to say about were I work as long as there is a good opportunity and if there are none that our sales team can find I wouldn't have found them on my own anyways I'm afraid ;-)

But yes, I still only have a very good salary, not what HN would expect for "real contractors" but it is stable and worry free and I have good colleagues.
I feel like the larger a developer/publisher becomes, the more mundane their titles are (because they are trying to saturate more global markets).

Diablo 4 being pushed back until Microsoft could oversee its development and release is pretty much a death sentence in my book.

> Not really. The chance of any sort of aerial dogfighting happening in a war are next to zero. The cost of planes, and pilots, is so high that almost all the effort spent these days is on killing your enemy with over-the-horizon weapons fired from hundreds of miles away. AI-powered dogfighting in aircraft is military marketing.

People have been claiming that over-the-horizon missiles will obsolete dog-fighting since before the Vietnam war:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_F6D_Missileer

> Through the later part of the 1950s and into the 1960s, military air planners increasingly believed that future air combat would be carried out almost entirely by long-range missile fire. This changed the basic requirements for a fighter design considerably. The pilots would be expected to fight primarily through their radar and fire control systems, hopefully never even seeing their opponent. Because of this, the emphasis was on "head down" combat and an all-round view was considered unimportant....

Not saying that won't eventually be true, but it doesn't mean it will be true any time soon. The lesson is to preserve the capability until it's actually been proven to no longer be needed.
In Oregon the new building code mandates that all air ducts and air handlers be located in conditioned space. Really good common sense regulation imho.

It has it's own pitfalls, like consent not being a founding design goal, but considering the alternatives it's only five steps forward one step back.

That aside, it would indeed be usable, but the realist in me sees that profit motives will cause a NIH-syndrome-like result. Ten years late since X-road was created and extra ten years late due to reimplementing and five times over the budget.

I have higher hopes that eIDAS and ASIC-E will gain adoption, those could significantly reduce the absolute pain in the ass that is dealing with some parts of Europe and their paper and fax-based bureocracy. (No, a faxed signature or a gas bill is not a valid method of identifying someone)

I recently spent a lot of time considering how to do my own storage and backups for a collection of mkv files I have. Your solution depends on how frequently you need to access the data, how frequently you need to modify the data and how frequently you need to add data to the archive.

For family photos, you might view them once every couple years, just to browse randomly. Every once in a while you might access the data with the intention of finding a specific photo. The data is of course never modified and only expanded once every five years or so.

So, low bandwidth, infrequent access and expansion and no modification. The winner by a mile is Blu-ray.

A hdd will de-magnetize over a very short period of time even if it’s stored in ideal condition. Less than a decade. You need to plug it in and let it refresh those tracks. If you keep it plugged in all the time then something else will die. Any way you slice it, there will be maintenance.

The data on a Blu-ray just sits there. It will outlast you.

Some Blu-ray Discs can have problems. This is because of improper materials and poor manufacturing. If the layers of plastic that sandwich the medium become delaminated or damaged in some way, this will lead to the oxidation of the data medium and loss of data. A properly manufactured disc like a Sony archival disc will never do that. And they make discs with data mediums that don’t oxidize so those ones can hypothetically last for thousands of years. Despite what people might say, a proper Blu-ray Disc is a great way to store data.

So here’s the deal. Get rid of duplicate pictures and pictures you don’t really care for. Compress as tightly as you can. Burn a copy of those files to a set of discs. Then another set of discs from another brand. And then another and continue however many times makes sense for your budget/ value of the data. Send each set to a different family member starting with the most remote. When it time to update the database, send out the latest discs.
Neither, but the game refuses to run until it can call home. (Edit: after which you can enjoy it for another 30 days without Internet access if you want to)

They say:

> We are not opposed to end-to-end encryption, as long as it is implemented in a way that does not put children at risk. We are in favour of both strong privacy and children’s safety and urge social media companies to protect both.

Which basically means "we are not opposed to end-to-end encryption as long as the encryption is not end-to-end".
They always were. Worth noting the bags are larger now and there are fewer options to hold.

> I’m pretty sure this is wrong (or misleading) on multiple levels:

> 1) An event in Andromeda occurs at single moment, it’s our observation of the event that is warped. So there aren’t two realities, one where they’re still debating and one where they aren’t. In both realities the debate has concluded, it’s just our observation of the event takes place at different reference times.

Yeah, they're making the mistake of assuming a minute is a minute.

It's closer to the difference in angular motion vs linear motion. If you are closer to the center, you move very little linearly. If you are closer to the outer edge, you move very little angularly.

Now you look at the linear distance as time passed for the object and the angular distance as the amount of "space-time" an object has gone. The amount of "space-time" is constant. It's a bit of a wonky model, but it's probably the simplest one that encapsulates the concept.

So just because they spent 3 days debating, you spent 5 days watching, and Bob only spent 1 day watching; that doesn't mean Bob is 2 days ahead of Andromeda and 4 days ahead of you. Since we are all also traveling through space at different speeds, we've all traveled the same amount of space-time, so we're all seeing the same things.

As for our perception, that more depends on our relative positions from each other rather than speed. Because nothing is faster than light, we can never experience an event before we see it.
Deeply regretful news.
Samsung Exynos 2200 Announced with AMD RDNA2 Xclipse GPU
That looks great!

I have a question though - why not switch to a more appropriate platform? When with a bunch of friends we were sick from WhatsApp's lack of features, we moved to Telegram which has polls and a few other goodies. It seems less effort that actually developing a polls for WhatsApp thing, although i can absolutely see how that would be fun to do. Good luck with the Pro version!
Back in the day, I really enjoyed reading Nat Friedman's blog (yes, he of Novell/Ximian/MS/GitHub fame) about a broader system called Dashboard which provided a sort of live querying of your data based on activities you were performing at the time. It's mentioned on Slashdot at https://developers.slashdot.org/story/03/07/27/1849258/nat-d... but sadly his blog does not appear to be archived anywhere.. if anyone has any more info on it, do share as I was fascinated by it at the time. Maybe once he has wrapped up at GitHub I could gently prod him about it.. :-)

(Found a blog post from 2003 where someone actually described it as "a system wide Rememberance Agent"! https://www.oblomovka.com/wp/2003/07/12/nats-dashboard/)
But NCMEC is a US organisation, not a UK one.

Edit: I assume they use that since they are focused on social media companies, which are almost entirely US based.
Oh I dont know, I think other countries seem to be making less of a hash of it, compared to the US.

And does it really matter if the US Mil own the spectrum? Thats like me saying the UK Govt owns the spectrum, they should still both be subjected to the court of law, if the laws are fit for purpose in the first place!

Current F-35A unit cost is $78M. Which model of drone costs $780K and has the same range?

In reality cruise missiles will be used for most strikes against fixed targets like runways. Even those cost like $2M each.

I haven't read enough on the subject to know the answer to that question, so here's another one. How do we know that ET uses radio for communication? They might've moved onto something else. Tachyons or gravitational waves might make good candidates but those are just the ones we know about. For those two we do have instruments sensitive enough to detect potential WOW signals, just not a lot of will for them to be used for that purpose.
You can disable webfonts globally in uBlock Origin, but you will see some sites that are broken because sometimes devs like to use a font file as an icon library. If that's the case, you can enable fonts just for a specific page. This doesn't happen often in my experience. Anyway, any sane developer would use SVG for icons and use system fonts instead of third-party webfonts libraries.

> narrow your scope and focus on one synth... make sure it’s subtractive.

For my part I went with physical modeling first. It quickly gives results that are almost impossible with subtractive. Here's a track where I made all sounds using Apple's Sculpture (mallets, an acoustic guitar, and something like a bowed flute): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkUs-BdxtN8

I wish there were more synths like this, where you could design sounds of imaginary physical objects. There's Sculpture, there's Mutable Instruments stuff, and then everything else is a notch below in sound or versatility. For awhile I was toying with the idea to make a new open source synth for bowed and wind type of sounds, but realistically I don't have the skills.
Bethesda is AAA, and we've already seen that Microsoft is willing to sacrifice revenue short term, by dropping the PS5 version fo Starfield, in order to drive long term GamePass subscription and revenue. There is no point in taking the risk of making a huge acquisition just to share the games with your #1 competitor.

I'd like to see this acquisition blocked, it will be bad for gaming long term to have so much control with one company.
The fact someone else did something is an absurd justification to do it as well. In a practical level, Xbox is much more locked in than Nintendo, as all Nintendo consoles have PC emulators for it and the devices can be jailbroken.

so when I first saw pipeline, the first use case came in mind was data validation and cleaning, like ETL.

In my opinion, what's versioned in DVC should have been cleaned up already. So I would offload ETL to airflow and only version the result of it.

Thank you for your explanation. that makes sense to me. I think it's like the project.json of a nodejs project, where you can define a set of commands, such as npm build, npm run, npm serve ...

No, you’re either taking from the rich and killing innovation, and thereby jobs, or you make everything state owned and go full on socialism, or you cause inflation. All of these make everybody poorer.
Got a reference for this?

My understanding is Nash equilibrium exists in any game with finite states, regardless of perfect or imperfect information.

The bit about announcing your strategy holds by definition - the equilibrium is defined such that no player can improve, thus it doesn't matter if the other player's strategy is known. Also, I don't think there's a requirement that Nash strategies be reachable by iteration.
> What you characterize as "greed" is more reflective of general consumer desires

While it is hilarious that you imply that vendor lockin, half finished games, arbitrary difficulty curves meant to stimulate mtx and a lack of ownership is a "general consumer desire" I think it is more reasonable to say that the consumer has no choice. They (or we) clearly still desire to buy videogames, so folks end up buying what is essentially trash.

The mistakes made have been described thoroughly by Arnis Paršovs if you want to read more, but I want to say that Gemalto is not necessarily the true cause. For example there are known cases of keys being generated outside the smartcard, Gemalto or no Gemalto, you can make grave mistakes when you have flawed processes or rules.
This isn’t exactly the same as a deathbed experience, but about two years ago I had a devastating lumbar disc hernia that landed me in the ER with such pain that I couldn’t stand, or even roll over.

I remember thinking that my biggest regret was that I had prioritized my job over my health. I’d stopped exercising and was overeating because my work was in a bad place and I was trying to scrape together every moment to make progress, and I’m sure that had a deleterious effect on my spine health.

I resolved that going forward I would prioritize my health (and my family) over my job.

I succeeded at maintaining those priorities for a while, and luckily my back healed relatively well. But I’ll admit that job stress ramped back up, and as I felt physically better it was all to easy to shift back into the same old patterns.
Can is a bit abstract. I've found it works really poorly in the browser ( just getting to the correct page that actually shows you the list of games available is a pain and requires multiple hops).

The term dynamo comes from metaphoric relationship to electric generators and the power they produce, not the notion of being "dynamic" (a modern usage of the word).
Right? It came to Switch but not macOS, boggles the mind.

Larger install base I guess. I’d been waiting for the Mac version for years and am surprised it never came.
> Some traits just pop up due to random mutations

This seems like an extraordinary claim. I can get behind the idea that it’s possible for a random mutation to impact personality traits. It is entirely different to turn to this as a general purpose mechanism for things that are hard to explain. It seems overwhelmingly likely that most traits are in some way selected for, because useful traits are naturally more likely to propagate than random useless (which will pass on, or not, at random)
For the amount of person hours having a game sold for $100 is a bit of nonsense, they sell in million worldwide and the people working on it are laid off as soon the production is over, so it's just shared holders and CEO pocketing blood, are we really still thinking that people doing the work are getting anything off the production

I can think of several recent releases without even searching: Melkhior's Mansion was released this week, Slipways earlier in the year, and Midnight Fight Express coming soon. I don't know if that's representative of indie games or not.

There's so many platforms to build for, and on some (xbox/ps5) a high(er) barrier to entry, vs. low on the PC, or mobile. I'm not surprised that there's much indie action on the xbox/ps5.
For the tiny tiny tiny fraction of users who will still be playing the game at that point, it will be a sad day. Most gamers do not make purchasing decisions based on something that might happen twenty years from now, since >99.9% of them will have moved on from the game by that point.

> I can still play ...

But do you? I mean, perhaps you do, but most folks don't. That's why I emphasized the question of harm a gamer is likely to suffer.

And yes some of them had much more than $50k judging by their things. But hey, make them more wealthy. Some people are really good at gaming the system.

So, I have a family. When I do something memorable in a weekend which involves social action (such as going to the zoo with the family, or a birthday party), I need to recover from it. I can't do something similar next weekend, I need to relax the weekend after. Maybe its the fact I am autistic.

I don't fancy the life calendar stuff. I am very curious by nature, and curiosity I find the most important in 'doing'. I really don't need to stimulate that, just like I don't need psychedelics or weed to get open minded (been there, done it).
TWM was reinvented into FVWM and the later one was much faster, it used far less resources and functionality wise it ran circles over TWM.

The post states that going from "34kb compressed" to "about 3kb compressed" is a big change:

> That's a massive savings on size. Of course, there are some sacrifices taken in that reduction.

My experience is that, even with a slow connection and a slow smartphone, removing 30kB of JS would have very little impact. The exact gain is smaller: the size difference of the gzipped-6 stable releases is 27kB.
