It has definitely, entirely ruined effects-focused making-of videos. How'd they do it? Computers. What did it look like? Someone using a computer. How can we show you the "behind the scenes" of that shot? Disable part of the rendering.

All identical, all boring.

The only interesting part is "how much of this shot was CG?" but a still conveys that. Extensive making-ofs are practically dead, except for people in the industry who want to know exactly which commercial plugin they used or whatever.
Loneliness may not be a dirty word indeed, but there is a huge stigma associated with it for men, and the result is sobering: it's called the "silent killer of men":
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/fear-intimacy/202111...
"Loneliness in men is correlated with cardiovascular disease and stroke; 80 percent of successful suicides are men, and one of the leading contributing factors is loneliness (Murphy, et al., 2017)."
I cited two separate definitions, at this point you're disagreeing with not just me, but my citations as well, which makes it hard for me to take what you're saying here and make any changes to what I understand the word to mean.

I'm not sure a) why you think you have authority here, or b) why it's such a sticking point to the point that you've continued this conversation for over an entire day.

I think at this point the only real option you have is to admit the word must have either evolved since you learned it, or you may have learned it wrong/incompletely.

My use of the word "nepotism" was correct here, but more importantly, what the fuuuuuuck does it have to do with my larger point? This is, literally, the definition of pedantry.
I get the sense you are strung out. - there are way more lurkers than those who comment - a reminder to try not to extrapolate too much from those who do. Hell, I've found myself in arguments with eugenecists on this site. With the weight of viral worries, the megaphone of a public forum has people nervous, you should expect strong reactions to anything negative about vaccines; people perceive negatives more than positives. Just be honest about what you do and don't know, cite sources that you've tried to understand, and take vitriol in stride. The pregnancy thing for instance - now lurkers have to Google things for themselves and may end up on some save the children propaganda site
Yeah it's definitely a historical thing. Bourne shell / POSIX shell doesn't have arrays, and ksh added arrays and bash adopted the same semantics.

ksh did it in the most "backward compatible" way, with the least amount of work, but which leads to very confusing semantics.

They just "extended" every string so it can have an array part, and then changed a FEW parts of the evaluator, not ALL parts of it. So arrays "decay" to strings in most contexts. They didn't have to touch that code.

It's hard to explain but if you write an interpreter you'll get a feel for this O(M x N) explosion between data types and operations. The amount of work explodes as you add more of either, and shell already has a ton of operations. As mentioned, the evaluation rules for the word $x in 'echo $x' and 'echo foo > $x' are completely different.

There are ways to avoid this, like Python has PyObject and a bunch of protocols. Similarly, Clojure has more protocols than Racket, which the Racket authors have noted -- it works on abstractions and not "concretions". As far as I remember, these come directly from Java interfaces. So yes Java actually adds something to Lisp :)
Well, ownership is the operative term here, so it’s a big deal.

Ownership is who decides access (a more appropriate term would probably be who governs utilization), not where access can or cannot be limited.

So to directly answer the question, yes, within certain definitions of “socialism” bobs access can be limited.
Well there we go, quality over quantity.
Very well said. I feel as you age and add parent to your CV, you experience all of these things at one point or another in a life well lived. It's all about how you tackle them and for many people building community around their item is a very healthy coping mechanism.

John C. Bogle founded Vanguard, which had the first index funds. Simply put, "Boglehead" refers to someone who invests in index fund(s) and leaves the money there long-term, without trying to time the market, buy individual stocks, etc.

To compensate, lots of people would start programming if that happened though. Many scientists would be interested in solving their field's problems so easily - certainly maths would benefit from it.
This is really impressive.

If I were tasked with building an app with a similar feature set in another language or runtime Id have to bring in a whole set of technologies and infrastructure that would make it challenging. The killer feature of Elixir (and Phoenix/LiveView) is not just that you can do all this in the same app writing backend code, its that the scalabilty characteristics of the runtime mean that you can push it really far once you are live.

Im excited to read through some of the codebase as a good example of a LiveView app.
> are we still holding media and journalists to standards of integrity

Were we ever? What do you mean by "holding"? How does one hold any given media outlet or journalist to any standard?
I'm glad the author included examples. In each, I preferred the CG version.
Have your written up your implementation? What type of air quality sensors have you used and how are they integrated into the home’s behavior?
Agreed. But The Hobbit was a very rushed film. Rushed CGI can be worse than other crafts when rushed. More time + more money could have achieved better results. That being said, practical FX will always be superior because you don't have to spend extra effort making lights and materials look real.
Having dealt with ARIN, RIPE, and APNIC quite a lot over the years, this is bang on. APNIC is fairly ambivalent. ARIN expects everyone to be a formally organized entity. Only RIPE seems to truly get that an individual person could be doing something on their own behalf, probably because forming a proper limited company was such a huge paperwork endeavor in most of RIPE's service area.

ARIN really needs the concept of sponsoring LIRs, because right now everyone has to deal directly with ARIN and that means ARIN has to fit their policies to try to fit everyone. While it's technically possible to get IPv6 PI space from ARIN as an individual person end user, and it's gotten easier than in the past, it still looks really daunting to the hobbyist or small network operator.

As for LIRs handing them out like candy, I joined RIPE as an LIR and RIPE will allocate an IPv6 /29 to an LIR for the low cost of zero Euro (well, except for the membership, which is a bit spendy) and that's 524,288 /48s so no reason for me to not slap up a web page and see if I can earn back a few of the EUR I will be paying to RIPE. I'm glad people do it for the pittance we see here.

Apparently Dune was transferred to film and back again to try and get the look. I'm not sure how much it really mattered in the end- I'm sure there are digital methods- but it did work.

I think there's a lost magic to practical SFX, but nostalgia aside, the single most important flaw I see in CGI that still remains unfixed to this day is...

... bad lights/contrast.

In almost every CGI scene, barring honorable exceptions, you see the CGI portions are fake because the lights are all bad. The comparison shot in the article between Steppenwolf and Tim Curry's Darkness from "Legend" is telling: while Darkness is shrouded in, well, shadows with sharp contrast, it looks as if Steppenwolf is brightly and uniformly lit.

Things that lack contrast and are uniformly lit are less visually interesting, especially when they don't match the environment. I notice this flaw in everything: Jurassic Park's dinosaurs, Star Wars ships, monsters in Lord of the Rings, mostly every modern creature effect. I know CGI artists must know this, so I wonder... why is it so difficult to fix?

(The honorable exceptions are mostly due to showing the CGI creature more sparingly, or where the light conditions by coincidence really match the creature).
An easy litmus test to show its not the test of time is to plot the number of exceptional quality films made per year.

In any form of art, there have always been pieces motivated by artistic drive (i.e. a work of art like seven samurai or loan's run) and pieces motivated by profit (i.e. a product like all of the capeshit movies or the transformer movies). What we're seeing in film and other similar industries is a cabal of gatekeepers who don't fund things unless it fits the mold of proven, profit driven products. Remove the Larry Finks of the world from power, and you remove the powerwhore gatekeepers that have no concept of beauty.
That's a solid point and hence why we've been reluctant to set out a future monetisation strategy. However...

In terms of monetising utility, Beeper/Texts.com seem to be getting a lot of attention, where they charge 10$ a month for their interoperable chat service. People seem to be happy to pay to have a centralised client for all their chats.

Otherwise as you've mentioned you have status signals, which is the case for Twitter Blue too. There's also the dating apps.

Absolutely not. I was a heroku proponent for many years, but the sheer stagnation and lack of bug fixes (for the price they charge) is entirely unacceptable. Frequent outages. Unpredictable performance. Weird reliability issues, and support only tells you to install New Relic and move along.

"What's closer to the root cause of all of these financial schemes is the mental health crisis impacting young people." I think this is very true. I do think that it not only applies to young people, there are a lot of middle age plus people waking up and realizing they are probably never going to be able to retire without some sort of miracle moonshot. I know an intelligent 65+ year old nurse that just torched 30k on trying on a bad crypto investment. Imagine all these people that just rode the massive bull market up in stocks nearing retirement age with just enough to retire. Stocks are likely approaching a peak and suddenly these people that had enough to retire will find themselves on much shakier ground while inflation is pumping. Odds are high many of them will make a desperate gamble as well.

Current internal migration numbers are not representative of what would happen if a locale were to take on taxpayer funded healthcare.

The magnitude of comprehensive healthcare expenses would make other state and local level expenses pale in comparison. Even Vermont called it quits after a couple years due to inability to sufficiently increase taxes:

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

California is in a better spot than Vermont, of course, but I would not gamble on it being that much more desirable than elsewhere that people with the ability to move would be willing to pay an easily double digit percentage increase in taxes.
> Further that process can take place from a photo of the sign uploaded by the car to then be encoded by the rules. The general case is stopping and having a remote driver slowly tell the car what to do.

So you’re now agreeing that you need some level of remote support to handle edge cases like this?

>An unknown sign in a place without cellphone reception is about the only case where it really need to just figure it out on it’s own rather than simply avoid causing an accident.

Yes, and again, this is the sort of thing you actually need to worry about when trying to come up with generalized self driving solution.

> Not much, people regularly disobey traffic signs especially ones with complex instructions. Don’t hit stuff or jump in front of another car is generally enough.

What if it misinterprets a one way sign at night when there’s no other signal that it’s turning on to a one way lane and it suddenly finds itself traveling opposite the direction of traffic for a long period before encountering another car? You have to consider all of these edge cases when talking about a generalized solution.

Maybe you still disagree with me in sprit, but do you see how when we really look at edge cases how you have to fall back to some level of remote operation or mapping?

You're still left with the two-sensor problem though: if lidar says "pedestrian" but vision says "clear," you don't know if it's a false positive in lidar or a false negative in vision.

If your safety reaction is consequence-free, no problem. If it isn't (like slamming on brakes in traffic), you really want a 3rd sensor so you can do 2oo3 voting.
> But saving money isn't the main reason we don't have practical effects. Saving time is the main reason we don't have practical effects.

Absolutely. There are a lot of reasons this is happening.

Prior to the pandemic (which will be seen as a kinetic accelerant to a thermodynamic inevitability), screen space was limited, meaning the biggest tentpoles would eat up a somewhat predictable lion's share of box office revenue and thus command a large percentage of screen real estate. If you churn out big things fast, you can fill the calendar year with your films, monopolizing on total screen space/time. You can bargain with theaters for placement and advantageous timing, maximizing your own ROI and preventing other studios from outcompeting you. This is more a function of pipeline maturity and scale than development time, but efficiency absolutely helps.

It's also true that viewers only have so much time (and therefore money). You want them to spend more time watching your content than they do on alternatives (other streamers, video games, social media). Quick delivery of successful series is essential. Netflix is trying to fill its slate to compensate for media losses, but also to run quick experiments to find things that maximize for view time. Content doesn't necessarily have to look good to fit the need.

The dust may look like it's settling, but it's not. Increasing efficiency will lead to lots of new competition in the space.
Can it be two reasons? CGI is also less work.
You would think so, but early models of the Model 3 have a radar and still do it.
> People who now pay almost no taxes and choose not to buy health insurance because they can’t afford it

I guess that's one way to phrase "are completely priced out of something guaranteed as a human right in pretty much every civilized country". A good friend of mine is in this situation, and I have a very low tolerance for the attitude of the "fuck poor people because I don't like taxes" crowd.

PG has a page about Lisp quotes [0]

> "SQL, Lisp, and Haskell are the only programming languages that I've seen where one spends more time thinking than typing." - Philip Greenspun

> "I have heard more than one LISP advocate state such subjective comments as, "LISP is the most powerful and elegant programming language in the world" and expect such comments to be taken as objective truth. I have never heard a Java, C++, C, Perl, or Python advocate make the same claim about their own language of choice." - A guy on Slashdot.

"One can even conjecture that Lisp owes its survival specifically to the fact that its programs are lists, which everyone, including me, has regarded as a disadvantage." - John McCarthy, "Early History of Lisp"

"Some may say Ruby is a bad rip-off of Lisp or Smalltalk, and I admit that. But it is nicer to ordinary people." - Matz, LL2

I could keep going but most of the quotes on that page are gold.

To answer your question, though, you may need to write some programs in Lisp yourself. I recommend Racket (less decisions and setup than CL-just use DrRacket.)

I hope this doesn't sound dismissive, because it's not meant to be, but invest some "recreational time" going down rabbit holes, such as watching various youtube videos, falling down Wikipedia rabbit holes, skimming RFCs, buying used books for cheap on Amazon, pet projects for learning purposes, etc... In hindsight, my Comp-Sci major was very academic. That is, course books and homework on networking used very formal language (almost mathematical notation), when what I really needed at that time was "plain English" explanations and real world examples. Basically, never stop being curious and reviewing the same topic through different lenses/perspectives/sources. Unfortunately, it can take some time for dispirate pieces of knowledge to coalesce into a comprehensive picture. I've also spent a lot of time learning about modern computing's origins, which lays out the road to how we got to today, which has been very helpful.

For Networking Specifically, always keep the OSI 7 Layer Model [1] in mind. The reason is that it's important that when you're learning about X, you stay focused on X without being bogged down with the details of Y. A great free networking resource is Beej's Guide to Network Programming [2].

Do you think people answering this question for this survey spent an incredible amount of time dissecting each word for the very specific implications of it's meaning?

Or did they think "government provide medicine, yay!"

People can really easily be manipulated by how surveys are presented and word patterns used. Survey results are weak arguments for how many people actually would agree with a certain outcome once they thoroughly understood it, especially when the only link between the outcome you're defending is a line about the specific implications about the word "provide".
For it to be informed consent declining must, by law, be as easy as accepting. Yes, this is being widely violated, but that's just a problem of enforcement.
He genuinely made a case for a better valuation, but the case was on its face ridiculous. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't his idea that there is some big digital play for gamestop? Which...sure..maybe with huge investments, but they'd be going up against the stores already built into the major consoles and mobile devices, and then the number of major game stores available for a PC. I'll wager 1 GME: Gamestop will never be a major digital player and DFV's thesis was wrong.
The problem with that is that you also need to consider how much time has passed since each film was released. In many cases, if it’s been 10 years since a film is released it would be difficult to know how people will view that film after another 10 years have passed.

I doubt this is a new phenomenon.

If you are spending money, possibly just having the worlds info at your fingertips doesn't make up for a lack of experience.

Certainly not. The courts would take a very dim view of that. You need to show through a series of regulatory interventions and escalating fines that you afforded those companies due process and that the fines are reasonable.

The maximum allowed under a law is virtually never reasonable in a first-time enforcement.
