If you allocate all those hours to one gamer, there's no contest. Check out the dev costs of games here [1] to the "net negative" (no marketing) costs for movies here [2] -- 4 games break $100M while you need $200M as a movie to get on the list. So, twice as much for 2h of content!

But if you factor in audience size, things get more complicated. Red Dead 2 sold about 38M copies, a near record, but Avengers Endgame reached something like 250-300M people at the box office, even before streaming etc.

Sony's more on board with having PC releases so I'd expect that to continue for sure as Bungie has had a playerbase there for a while.

But whether further-future releases look more like their "cross-platform" nature is just Playstation and PC, or there's Playstation timed exclusivity or exclusive features... I mean you'd have to think it's pretty likely.
Hm, last time I cared about this stuff was at the end of the 360/PS3 generation and back then MS was in a really bad spot with respect to first party production. To the point where I'm actually amazed they're still in the fight. By the end of that generation the Sony studios where really crushing it, whereas MS' were just pushing GoW, Halo and Kinect shovelware. Has the tables turned?
As I wrote below, a 2006 NHTSA report found the average passenger vehicle was scrapped after 152,137 miles. Of course, that's 15 years old.

The taxi number seems pretty low. Do you have a source for that?
I get so exhausted listening to people talk about http semantics, and arguing about the restfulness of different approaches.

From an implementation point of view, the difference between a POST, GET, and QUERY with a body is...trivial. I look forward to QUERY because it'll finally stop arguing about having to send a body on GET, or do a POST for something like a search.

It's gotten to the point where it all feels like naval gazing to me. I'd rather talk about what the api does rather than how amazingly restful it is.
Ink and Switch have done a lot of thinking and a lot of experiments around this idea.

Your git.io results in a "400 Invalid Request" when it resolves to the raw.githubusercontent URL

After surfing around the actual content looking for a reference to your GH username, I found https://github.com/yasoob/practical-python-projects/issues which seems like a perfectly reasonable URL to use instead of an obfuscated (and broken) link shortener
Common? They are ubiquitous. You won't see them at the mall, but every job location has them. At my work there are 4-foot poles at the end of every parking stall (1-pole for 4 spots) with outlets for everyone. The reality is that most cars start easily down to about -20 without external heat.

But those outlets mean nothing in term of whether I can buy an EV. If the power goes out then we loose those outlets. Or what if I need to park somewhere without outlets such as at the airport? It is one thing for a car to not start. You can always tow it and warm it up somewhere else. But a car that will take damage if it gets cold is totally unacceptable.
What kind of paddings?

Cool. Now the question is where does it run, and can we split blocks to serverless functions, or have a "cluster-mode" where each block can be executed on dedicated/specialized/available node.
Caching gets rather tricky.
SSB is most similar to a p2p bit torrent with discovery servers vs federated social network like mastodon. The protocol was originally created by a guy who lived on a boat and wanted to browse a network offline, respond offline, then when he came into harbor upload/download updates. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Scuttlebutt#History
LogSeq is another interesting tool in this space. Its primary differentiator seems to be letting you attach arbitrary key-value attributes to pages and blocks and then query things in your workspace to create ad-hoc tables. https://docs.logseq.com/#/page/advanced%20queries
My 2019 Kia Stinger has physical gauges and every single thing I need for actually driving is a physical button, knob or dial. Yes, there is a touchscreen, however that is 99% of the time I am in the car connected to my phone, so basically just an external screen for my phone (which I would otherwise have to dangle in some phone holder somewhere). Also, all of the driving "aids" remember the last setting they were set to, so I don't have to disable them every time I sit into the car, which is a common problem with new cars.
What Is “Anti-Work?” – Luciferian Locutions
That requires an outlet near your car. My office (back when I had to go into the office) has parking lots that don't have any outlets.
Mercedes and Mazda have this in many of their models - mechanical rotary dials and real buttons for common controls.
I think the word "find" is pretty descriptive. It's hard to find people willing to turn down billions of dollars. This is more like an indictment on M&A in the modern economy. Why compete when you can simply acquire?

The corporate media definitely does it, and it didn't come as any surprise to me that Joe Rogan began fomenting controversy far more often after the $100M move to Spotify. Can't have an "open dialogue" with that much money in the balance.
I don't think we'll ever know exact details for certain in the public record, but it definitely feels like one of those "it takes two to tango" situations where both sides were toxic and inflamed the worst in each other. I do think a lot of what Bungie blames on Activision were decisions they would have made anyway but liked having someone to blame. (That's still a type of horror, gaslighting yourself that your publisher is the enemy rather than your partner.)
The standard is the easy to remember ISO 15118. Not all EVs support it yet, and for sure many charging stations don't implement it, but there is an international signaling standard to communicate this data which theoretically everyone can implement and participate in.

This post was flagged and now it’s not, which is pretty interesting in and of itself. I’d be curious to know why the post is controversial. Is it a subject that is simply considered beyond rational discussion?
This sounds interesting, but it's the first I've heard of the AWS Device Farm. Can you explain what this might entail? (i.e. would the ouput be screenshots that a human confirm visually, or would we need to develop automated tests that can measure render success without actually seeing the final output?)
>> I'm sure a huge amount of American material depicting the English or French would be considered racist if that standard were applied

> I think what you are missing here is that there is no history in the US of genocide against people of English or French descent.

I'm not missing that, and I'm well aware that kind of logic is used to justify the different standards. However, those justifications aren't terribly relevant to what I was describing, which was the standards themselves and their results.

As an aside, that justification isn't terribly satisfying, and has some pretty significant rough edges/internal contradictions (e.g. implying that racist/stereotyped depictions are OK so long as there's "no history in the US of genocide against" against the stereotyped group).
FreeBSD!
I'm not sure I'd classify Konami as "large distinct publishers/studios" anymore. Apart from the obligatory yearly installments of PES and BeatMania, they seem to mostly make gambling machines these days.
The fact is that independent game developers struggle to survive, so that is what I’m using as my yardstick for whether they are making enough money.

Dollars per entertainment hour is just a way to try to convince gamers that it is reasonable to spend more on games, but perhaps the better argument to make is that we need to pay these companies more or they will go out of business or move to scummy pay to win business models.
That only works out if 1 hour of video games has the same value as one hour of a movie.

It's apples to oranges anyway, even when comparing games to games.
You might find the approach used in UnitTestDesign.jl [1] to be useful. If I understand it correctly, the package tests combinations where more than one parameter changes, since it assumes this is when breakage is more likely to occur, versus the exhaustive testing you're trying to avoid.

Disclaimer: I haven't actually tried this approach yet.

> originally planned as an RTS for Windows + Mac, not for the launch of Mac gaming

How I read the OP (at least for this bullet) is in line with what I remember at the time: Halo was originally a Mac exclusive, and us Mac gamers (there were dozens of us, dozens!) generally perceived it as being the beginning of a golden era, where Mac would be taken as seriously as PC for games. I was absolutely heartbroken when it moved to XBox exclusive. I still ended up buying one for Halo anyway, just like everyone else.

EDIT: that being said, I was a kid at the time, and reading up on things, it was announced by Jobs during MacWorld that it was going to be Mac + Windows, so I don't know if my memory of the situation is about rumors before launch, if I misunderstood things because I was 13 at the time, or if I simply have mis-remembered because that was over 20 years ago, hah.
Toyota had that when I looked at the Tundra in 2012. The image is far too small (postage stamp size) to really see what's there.
> In exchange for being exposed to advertising at a restaurant, you get free pizza.

Are you required to sign a contract for this exchange to happen? In that case, you would be breaching a contract, which is not the same as theft. If there's no contract, then I am free to go into a restaurant, plug in my earphones, keep my eyes glued to my laptop/phone and focus on whatever I want & ignore whatever else might be going on in the restaurant. While I sip my free pizza. If they have a problem with that, they could ask me to leave or not give me a pizza next time, but I most definitely haven't stolen anything.

If they continue to offer me free pizza despite the fact that I don't give a shit about all the ads in the restaurant, that's their choice. Hardly any different from websites that continue to serve me despite the fact that I block ads.

I've never signed a contract with a website where I agree to view ads.
It's not like either of them have been well managed the past few seasons. They were skilled enough to catch the attention that brought them to where they are. Maybe they focused too much on the attention and less to what got the attention in the first place. That's unfortunately part of the gaffer's job to manage the players off the field as much as the tactics on the field.
GCC Rust Monthly Report #13: January 2021
I do the same. I've just hit my 13th cake day on Reddit, and it's consistently been my favorite way of interacting with people on the web. The absolute key to enjoying Reddit is to get out of r/all, and curate your subreddits based on interests and quality of community.

Some of my personal favorite subreddits based on interests:

https://www.reddit.com/r/programming

https://www.reddit.com/r/startups

Seriously, the quality of the subreddit is directly tied to the quality of the mods. I was a mod on my old hometown's subreddit, and it was a daily slog of removing shitposts, political content, and conspiracy theories. The end result was a relatively clean and useful subreddit.

Additionally, I'd recommend using an app like Apollo instead of the official Reddit app. It's just a better experience overall.
I experience this on my phone where adblock doesn't work that well. It's absolutely horrible to use the web there. The screen is already small, and then it gets filled with overlays getting me to use an app, ads, autoplaying videos, ...

I'm at the point where my phone is just an alarm, instant messenger and casual camera, since other apps are also full of annoying ads.
I’m not a doctor, but as a gay man: it’s my understanding HIV doesn’t mutate in the same way a disease like Covid does, at least not in the sense that there’s as many opportunities to spread (i.e. not airborne), so while HIV may actually mutate more in theory, it gets less chances to spread, so less completely-different variants become widespread.

Also, as part of “stopping the spread” PrEP has existed for years. It’s still proven to be effective protection against contracting HIV even if directly exposed (though it’s a pill that must be taken every day rather than a vaccine). There’s also PEP that helps make you undetectable (untransmissable) if you do contract it (and as such, it’s no longer what many people still mistakenly regard as a death sentence).

I honestly don’t know why everyone who is sexually active isn’t on PrEP (the federal government even mandates it be free to those without insurance in most cases)— it should be as common practice as wearing a condom and birth control, yet its existence isn’t even known to many people (especially among straight people).
2006 was a while ago, so that sounds about right.

They claim no changes and they intend to remain a cross-platform studio.

So I wonder if this ties into Sony's upcoming PS Now replacement gaming subscription service, you get Destiny content while your PS sub is active.
Predatory tactics, facilitating addiction, not good. But what you’re saying feels to me like a rule that says you aren’t allowed to play betting games unless you take every single bet. What? Consider that for yourself. Every person on the street who walks up to you and says “I bet you that…”, you are required to take that bet? Or you’re never allowed to make a bet again? We as people pick and choose what bets we take.
Thank you for the kind offer :)

I don't have a factory camera, but would be worth doing a third party one, the visibility while reversing is rather poor as soon as you get teenagers sitting in the back.
> Surely a student who is learning them and thus by definition doesn’t know them would have even greater difficulties

But a student who is learning them will not start by looking at the equation, but at the concept, and that concept will disambiguate between sin() and s·i·n.

The example you use is interesting. Yes, that would remove ambiguity between sin() and sin. But how would that notation evolve? If in most instances it's clear when you have function application and when it's multiplication, people will stop writing it. Same with the multiplication operator.

Not to mention that notation also introduces ambiguity, because the dot is part of the written language, so you'll have instances where it isn't clear whether the dot means "apply function" and when it means "sentence stop".

Even assuming that the notation stays and doesn't devolve to something that's faster to write and to read, what did we actually achieve? We wouldn't have removed the complexity of learning trigonometric functions. You wouldn't stop a student from doing sin.(a + b) = sin.a + sin.b, for example, or trying to use the same formulas for sin and cos.

My point is that while you will have some instances where notation could be improved (and naming too, for example closed and open sets are confusing because they are not inverse properties) because most of the time what's difficult is the concept itself, notation is like an extra step after having gone up four flights of stairs.
I read a book a while back called Tribal Leadership that calls out exactly the problems you are referring to.

One is that the manager has to say the same thing to multiple reports, which simply isn’t scalable. Second the person at the other end of the 1:1 feels commoditized, and third, people start to spot inconsistencies (intentional or not) between what the manager is telling different reports, which damages their credibility. Their solution is to form triads (three person meetings).

Chip Morningstar always liked to remind me Second Life was just an updated version of Habitat... So maybe it goes back to 1986.
Low end pickup trucks targeted for commerical use are pretty dumb.

Mine is a 2016 Nissan Frontier and it only has a backup camera (which is honestly needed with a camper top).

It has 1 door-key-hole, no power windows or power locks, and an aftermarket stereo.

As a software engineer, I feel much safer in it than a car with more sophisticated computer controls XD
Just to be clear, it was a mac game. It still came out and Halo: Combat Involved ran beautifully on PPC and Intel (Rosetta 1 translation?).

Good memories of that game. I still haven’t played marathon :0
What I would like, as a productivity tool, is a coarse to do list + contexts. Contexts here means, essentially, snapshots of virtual machines with all of the tools open that I was using, along with some structure for shared ddata, probably managed by git.

You might recognize this as more or less the definition of an operating system, so I suppose I could just say that I want an OS which treats me as the CPU.
Ctrl+M (not Ctrl+N) for a newline surely. 0x0a is line feed, 0x0d is carriage return, J is the 10th letter of the alphabet, M is the 13th.

Google has a long history of making their ad placements look more like their search placements.

The ads used to be a clearly yellow block. Then it became more and more faded yellow-to-white. Today, the ads have literally the exact same CSS, except that they do say "Ad" at the start, the legally mandated minimum disclosure.

How do you reconcile this?

To me, "honest" is already dishonest, in that Google deliberately tries to make ads vs search results visually ambiguous and thus the ads at the top are barely different from paid search placement.
There are multiple reasons why it is hard to find good gear online.

In the case of electronics and photography gear it takes a huge amount of reading between the lines to interpret reviews even assuming the reviews are honest.

For instance at the Best Buy website there is a review for a photo printer where the user posted photographs of utterly ruined prints they made on this printer. Well, I've made prints like that too when I put the paper in upside down. That's what happens when you put the wrong side of the paper in.

A decade ago the story about Sigma lenses on Canon bodies was that 90% of them were OK but 10% were defective in subtle ways (like the autofocus doesn't quite lock on) Sigma on Sony today seems to be better. When you're reading reviews though you have to guess "did this person get a bad instance of the product or did this person have the wrong expectations for how this was supposed to perform."
thanks! It's not open source but I plan on open sourcing parts of it at some point... have just been developing it solo so far
...Cyrano de Bergerac’d their interview.

That's a great phrase, though I don't get people who do this kind of thing. But then I was also the killjoy in some college class when other people were like "Yes! Let's just skip more stuff and pass anyway!" and I went "Uh, no. What if you actually need to know that stuff for a future class or a job?!"

Everyone glared at me. They just wanted an easy A (or easy passing grade). Apparently no one but me was actually interested in learning anything when they signed up for the class.

(Smacks head on desk.)

(Context: the professor had announced we were skipping something due to time constraints.)
Maybe because caching POST data is just an odd way of doing things?
No hard feelings :)
But see, you didn't actually make a point in your original comment. I don't mean that rudely. You referred to the "arrogance [we] likely use to discuss the correctness of [our] code." What are actually saying here?

If you want to engage in discussion, I encourage you to use plain language. Accuse the community directly of whatever charge you're bringing, and then we can debate.
One of the greatest professional shames of my life was being part of a fantasy sports for profit startup. We received tens of millions of funding from a company that is one of the major sport book operators in Las Vegas. What I first thought would be a fun way for friends to play with a little more "skin in the game" exposed me to some very bleak and dystopian ways that technology could be used to extract resources from those who could least afford it.

I suppose it is no surprise to anyone semi-aware of how casinos operate that the house will always win. Would it be a surprise to learn that the data being generated by fantasy sports app customers were being used to actively create situations where they would lose, or at least reduce, the amount of their winnings? It shouldn't be.
Interesting. Since I'm on my phone right know i wonder about mobile support. I suppose it's desktop only?

Does it work as well if I'm in a hurry or type the phrase just with one hand? How long is the phrase and would it work with arbitrary text as well (I'm thinking of authenticating while typing a post/comment somewhere)?
100% agreed. In fact I would feel guilty about not adblocking by supporting these types of practices.

If a site is responsible I will add them to my white list. How do I know if a site is responsible If I'm blocking you might ask? Well you just know.
Did you actually watch the episodes in question? The big difference is that those Rogan has on actually have credentials to back up their claims, and they provide evidence in the form of studies, it is the opposite of what you've laid out here. On the other side the expert from CNN seemed extremely uninformed.
But you're not selling ads. The user has opted-in to seeing spamware that gives them OS-level notifications, right? Is this new? I guess I don't see the specific impact on web content producers.
It's apparently possible to convert one to CCS, but that would cost more than a mega-dongle. There's talk of Nissan making a kit. It's basically the jack plus a software update so it's not that involved. They've sold CCS Leaf models in other markets.

There are a good number of Chademo chargers around here. Tesla has better coverage though so it would be nice.
