The changes from 2 to 3 were massive. The changes from 3 to 4 are much more incremental. Not to say GIMP isn't massively underfunded (it 100% is), but once the transition to GTK+3 is done, the transition to GTK4 should be much more straightforward.
Why are you so keen to defend one particular power production method on one narrow stat?

This isn't a game of Top Trumps where you need to find any one stat that's higher than your opponents to declare victory.

Nuclear has to be better than wind and solar and hydro and batteries and everything else (demand response, better insulation, undersea grid connectors etc.) all working together across a wide range of metrics to find a place in a modern grid.

It is failing at this. The alternatives are cheaper, better, greener, safer, quicker to build.

Narrowly focusing on one tiny aspect does not change this big picture reality.
Wow, where's that?
In my circles (Netherlands/Germany) the people that go out all got covid, the people that could stay at home didn't. Not everyone has a choice here, like if you have school-age kids then you're almost guaranteed to get it through them.

Not having contact with others is obviously effective in avoiding covid and lowering hospital loads. The question is at what point hospitalization rates are low enough (from vaccinations and prior infections) that we can stop staying at home.

> we typical[ly] don't let companies mark their own homework when in a position of power like this

In the United States, yes we do.
> You can't declare rental income as "income" to qualify for mortgage loans.

Depends. If you have a signed lease, some lenders will take some portion of that into account when considering lending you money.
How do you do that in an established city?
You don’t need to worry about throttling dollar volume. Instead, you can just use a system like Optimistic Rollups use - build your system so withdrawals are delayed to give others time to submit fraud proofs. A successful fraud proof submission gives you a bounty and stops an invalid withdraw.
> VR has tons of uses!

Basically, limited to niche games and simulation training. Where as AR has more usefulness than VR does. But it doesn't matter since Meta is working in both of those industries.

> Whereas with blockchain, well, it's mostly used for speculation and I still haven't seen people use it as a legitimate currency.

What is wrong with using stablecoins? Everyone knows Bitcoin has failed in being useful for payments or how very volatile it is for a business to use.
Legality is a concept that exists only under a jurisdiction of a government. Blockchains are supposed to be sovereign, code-is-law, free from governmental meddling. So by the spirit of the blockchain concept and smart contracts, it couldn't be illegal, nothing can. Everything happened exactly to the letter of the contract, and there's no judge to disagree.

Of course there's recurring theme of crypto users shouting "fuck governments, we're censorship-resistant!" on the way up, and "that was illegal, I'm calling the FBI!" on the way down.
If I had to guess between "Inside job" and "Their CI system was owned", it may be neither, of course, but of the two I'd bet on the latter.
It might have been my failure, but I couldn't get the Podcast app to list and play all my outstanding podcasts in the order that they'd arrived. So I had to be regularly fiddling with it to switch what I was listening to rather than just letting a timeline of content play out. Like I said, maybe it was my failure, but it seems like an odd thing to not be really obviously available to a user of a podcast app.

Overcast is my app of choice now, and I subscribe to it since it's such a great app.
It's good to be the king. At least part of me wants to believe there's going to be a meeting at Apple about how we can ship and app with a less than two star app.
I was talking about the historical disenfranchisement. Although some argue that the disenfranchisement of felons is similarly motivated, especially considering how easy it is to get a felony in Mississippi
> it would seem like "voluntary behavior changes" are a core element of lockdowns[..]

We were sent home by police during our first lockdown. We had gone for a walk with the kids and were enjoying the sun sitting by the side of a local river with absolutely no-one else around.

That certainly wasn't a "voluntary behavior change".
> the only thing backing crypto currencies is an expectation

This is, however, true regardless. The value of cryptocurrencies are measured in USD, and it is expectations of this future valuation that backs up the current price.

The only way to make it more certain than expectations, would be by some sort of government decree.
I think you and I probably see eye-to-eye on some stuff.

Once the censorship cat is out of the bag IMHO there a lot more ways for that to go wrong than to go well.
Most or all of these type of landlords that I’ve spoken to strongly disliked to actively hated being a landlord. It’s very counter the “get wealthy slowly” narrative of being a landlord. Of course the financial aspects are true though they don’t mention them. This is in a location where good renters are a dime a dozen and building new units is pretty much impossible.

There will never be a "normal" housing market until the government starts to treat it as the food market. That is, as an absolute life necessity that needs to to be heavily regulated and subsidized to ensure everyone has access.
Interesting I have never heard of the show. I should have since it was 1995-2000. Would you recommend? It made perfect sense as a reference! Thanks.
People make comments like that to counter the low-effort cryptocurrency shilling and parroting of lame boilerplate ignorant excuses and apologetics, which don't belong here.

And just because most people here agree that anonymous internet users breathlessly shilling cryptocurrency get-rich-quick pyramid schemes here are scammers, doesn't mean it's groupthink. It's simply, objectively, and obviously true, and it's all the irrefutable evidence of scams and crimes like the subject of this discussion that cause most people here to believe the truth, not "groupthink".

It's not groupthink to believe 1+1=2, and casually dismiss anyone who says otherwise.

If you want to wag your accusatory "groupthink" finger at people causing actual tangible damage to the environment and economy, while lying, shilling, pumping and dumping, ripping people off, committing crimes, and laundering money with NFTs and cryptocurrency, then point it at the cryptocurrency shills parroting bullshit talking points. They're the ones all thinking and talking the same, and generating all the hype.
You'd have to find a builder. After 2008, that industry re-tooled and now there are considerably fewer builders working in residential development. And even those only want to work with developers on building new subdivisions, not work with individuals on single homes.
Code generation is used quite a bit in Go, though I haven't seen it used quite like this before. Now you've got me thinking what an rp-like tool would look like in Go. I think the error handling and statement vs expression distinction might get in the way a bit, but perhaps you could overcome that with helper functions.
There's a qualitative difference between embedded blips and long sentences and paragraphs.
(Sarcasm) Yes this was always very obvious, that's why we're doing this whole work from home movement, why lockdowns are still used against omicron, etc. The statistics were very available as well, anyone with a brain could figure this out "early in the pandemic".

Lock-downs obviously work/worked in China, Australia, New Zealand etc.

From first principles, lock-down will obviously work when you isolate everyone in the society.

The less stringent the lock-down the less effect it will have.

The real question is not whether they work, but the tradeoffs.

Do we want totalitarian style lock-downs?

Saudi Arabia to invest billions of dollars in technology and startups
i agree that python's repl environment is nice. i worked with python and jupyter for much longer than with common lisp. actually due to my domain it is still my main language. however i was taken aback when i first saw repl development in lisp. it is just far more seemless and stable. how often do you need to do python kernel restarts in jupyter? what i found extremely surprising is the huge performance difference between sbcl and cpython. common lisp as implemented in sbcl produces some of the most performant computations out there. also writing code in s-expressions turned out to be an unexpected killer feature for me. finally something you cannot do in python that is built into lisp is being able to debug and live edit a running (production) image.

while i continue to use python the same is no longer true for jupyter. i think using org-babel in emacs is a much more superior experience, with the added benefit of having the whole development environment available to you
When has the housing market ever been normal? It’s had periods of equilibrium. Is that a synonym for normality? If we are thinking it terms of common features over time, perhaps the housing market mostly appearing to be demented is actually normality.
Can you link your bug report about the crash you are encountering?
I think it’s worth properly segregating VR from AR.

VR shuts you off from the world, and only permits you to interact with people digitally. My view is this is only ever going to be a niche play for gaming and some commerce (e.g architecture, game design).

AR on the other hand at its most minimal is a set of specs, and you only seeing reality. Nothing has to be always on, as someone who wears glasses this is my current world. Now introduce the ability to insert virtual objects (e.g a virtual computer screen) and my world is a little bit better. Wire it together so people can share the augment, and possibilities become limitless.

Alastair Reynolds wrote a good series of books (Blue Remembered Earth) where AR was envisioned rather extensively and it was compelling. As such I view AR as the future of all computing and the market correspondingly huge.

There are tradeoffs everywhere. You have to assume that when stacking millions of people on top of each other everyone will not own a home. That's not a "policy" issue, it's just physics. If you want to live in city for whatever reasons, you just have to take that into consideration.

Atlanta. The Southeast is booming, and Atlanta in particular is turning into a tech hub. There may be less pressure in areas that are seeing net migration outflows, but I don't think the U.S. has enough housing to cover our population increases anywhere.
Kind of, C++ profits that the ecosystem embraces binary libraries, so usually you only have to care about your own code.

Then if you are using modern C++ tooling like Visual Studio, you can make use of hot code reload.

Tech women would also be unlikely to need abortions in the first place, unintended pregnancies are very uncommon among high-income folks.

E: Huh? What could possibly be controversial about this?
Obviously an abortion ban affects low income folks far more than rich tech workers.

For rich people this is a vague political issue, not a practical one.
Read your contract for gigabit fiber. Here in France the ones i've read best promised 512Kb/s available bandwidth at any time, for consumer offers advertizing between 100/100 and 1000/250Mbit/s.

Dedicated gigabit bandwidth is still in the thousands of euros monthly, or in the hundreds in optimal situation (if you're already in a well-connected colo).
The author ignores one of the biggest issues, which is the secular generational trend of the millenials (the biggest generation ever) moving into prime housebuying years (30-40s) while the boomers (second biggest generation) are aging in place. That's also putting a squeeze on available inventory.

The author also ignores the USA's land use policy (other than a tangential nod to 'we aren't building enough' which could have many reasons).

Of course, there are many factors that the author mentions that are also adding stress to the housing market. It'd be interesting to read some research that attributes weight to each of them.
The Top Chess Engine Championship (TCEC) is a computer chess tournament. The goal is to provide the viewers with a live broadcast of long time control, quality chess - played strictly between computer chess engines created by different programmers. One Season is divided into several Stages and lasts about 3-4 months. The winner of the Season will be the TCEC Grand Champion.

They are current playing to lowest league--the qualification league. There will be several leagues culminating in a superfinal. 100 matches between the two best engines.

It will be exiting to see how the conventional tree search, neural network and NNUE engines compare this year.

this is just the first step. If the consent string wasn't PII, all the other data tied to the consent string would not be PII as well, because this is the cookie that brings all the data together.

So now that we have confirmed that they do indeed process PII and use the consent string as the unique identifier that ties the whole profile together we can start doing what you want. Going after the companies that attach other datasets to the consent string.

Before this ruling, the companies/controllers would have said that we process no personal data, thus GDPR doesn't apply. Now we have a ruling, saying that this is not a valid excuse.
Yes which is why GP said at the top-level comment you initially replied to:

If such simple changes have that big of an effect on you, you're in the wrong. I'd like Meta to spin off WhatsApp and Instagram, then shut down for good.

I'm sure that you can find people who are huge fans (addicted as a news article might call them) to any technology or gaming product. The world is huge. There are, for example, people who loved Windows Phone and Zune. But just because a product has a fanatical core doesn't mean it'll eventually take off - or even maintain viability.
The crypto market is indeed very competitive and volatile. But the industry is exploding and keeps expanding, and many crypto projects succeeded during 2021, and some failed to maintain their position. With that said, we can see SKALE (SKL) price once well performed in 2021 and suddenly plummet to $0.1099 due to the recent market dip.

Skale Network (SKL) Price Prediction 2022

SKALE price well performed in the first half of 2021. Moreover, the SKALE price showed a bullish trend. However, If SKALE continues the bullish trend, the price may reach $5 by the end of 2022.

SKALE price can even reach $7 if the bullish trend continues to climb up.

On the other hand, if the SKALE price turns out to be bearish, the price might plummet to almost $0.175.

If that's actually the case, and many of those mortgages are adjustable-rate, then we've learned nothing and another 2007 may be inevitable.

Fortunately, I still believe that the overwhelming majority of new rental units are being scooped up and placed on market by commercial entities, not individuals. You may have many individuals putting their second house up for rent, but I'm skeptical that banks are giving individuals a half-dozen loans in series. With the housing shortage as bad as it is (we're just not building enough to offset our population growth), I suspect that commercial entities would swoop in and buy up most second houses that individuals couldn't maintain anymore.
Thanks for the suggestion, that is exactly the kind of theme I was looking for.
Wormhole isn't centralized because it's on Solana (it's not like Sol devs/nodes will mess with the chain to stop it) but because it's a bridge which is an inherently centralized service since it cannot work fully on-chain by definition.
Yes. We are more closer to a recession.
I think the design is just about 100X easier for mere mortals { in bogus "effortmeters" ;-) }, but it is absolutely true that some backend languages are more suited than others. It is also true that having real optimizing compilers (in whatever lang) as backends will always result in faster running programs (if data is big enough that amortizing optimizer costs is worth it). {EDIT: i.e. "so, trade-offs, costs, YMMV, etc., etc. }
Different languages are not downgrades/upgrades - they're different balance points between constraints.

Also, classes are merely one feature of C++. The language is a far cry from 40 years ago, when it was "C with classes".
The "wave of consensus" refers to the fact that a decentralized network cannot have a definition of "current state" for everyone in the network. There's some sort of "undisputed state" because as blocks pile up, it becomes more and more impossible to alter the older blocks and also generate the amount of blocks required to overtake the original chain. That's the wave: new blocks propagate on the network, ensuring the older blocks can't ever change, but the newer blocks might be replaced by others in some cases. This is why there's a need to "wait for confirmations" in most crypto transactions.
RTL is shorthand for "register transfer logic". It's a term of art for "digital design at the gate level".
Could somebody please explain to me how TicketMaster on the iOS App Store manages to supposedly have 1.8M(?!) reviews averaging 4.8 stars when all of the written reviews I’ve scrolled through have 1 or 2 stars?

Do they trick people into reviewing the app favorably or something else?

I had a terrible experience with their app and don’t understand how they’re managing to game the App Store rating system.
I went down a rabbit hole trying to determine the most officially re-released game. While FFVI does have quite a few, I think the consensus was it's either Doom, Street Fighter II, or Sonic the Hedgehog.
I think Australia and New Zealand are convincing counter-examples.

It's not that lockdowns are ineffective, it's that half-arsed partial lockdowns ended before elimination are ineffective.

Before I hear the standard "but it's an island" argument: yes, Australia and New Zealand can shut down international travel with relative ease, but so can any sovereign nation. Even countries in Schengen have been managing their own border restrictions.

The usual followup argument is "but there's so much trade and cross-border travel, it's impractical to shut it down". There's a counter to that in Australia too: the quarantine of Melbourne from the rest of the state. Travel into and out of Melbourne required a permit while the city was in lockdown and the permit was only granted for a limited set of reasons, like work, delivering goods, or medical care. Imagine quarantining LA from the rest of California, or London from the rest of England. That's what Australia did.

In this case it doesn't seem so bad, as long as the cheats aren't massively damaging the reputation or enjoyment of the trail. Let them have their petty triumphs.

It reminds me a bit of the current popularity of Escape Rooms. A lot of the ones in the UK will rank your time and keep track of monthly or overall records. Of course, it's easy to get the record just by doing it twice, or first listening to how your friends did it. But who would bother?
Half-Life Alyx is quite good. It can be played on a decent gaming PC plus Oculus Quest 2. I also adore Beat Saber, but mostly custom maps (Quest 2 version needs to be patched for it to work), and some social component is lost.
I barely graduated highschool. C student. Sucked at mathematics too.

So I got a diploma in networking (this was a totally valuable experience, and definitely better for my career than a CS degree).
That deploma then led me to do a CS degree. I didn't have to - I could've got a decent job just with that diploma, but I wanted to learn, and to have the whole university experience. I've been told by interviewers that they value a technical diploma like mine over a CS degree.

I thrived in CS. Got fantastic grades. Found a new love and appreciation for mathematics.

Now, do I think that this happens to all C students? Hell no.
But I will say don't you ever disregard somebody because of their bad grades. Some people just aren't "school smart", some people are going through tough times, and some people have mental problems because of/on top of all that.
