That's most things, though. There's so much crap out there, most people keep moving to the next hot thing rather than keep consuming the same thing. How many people are still watching the Avengers Endgame movie today? Or season 8 of Game of Thrones? Probably roughly the same amount (proportionately) that are still playing Animal Crossing or Among Us today.

Animal Crossing did just get a major update that was well-received and tied to a premium Nintendo Online subscription a few months ago, btw. Still popular enough for that. Definitely nowhere as huge as it was two years ago though.

Animal Crossing was the perfect thing to be released when everyone was stuck in their homes at the start of the pandemic, though, as it offered an escape and even had a 'travel to an island' theme to it. My wife and a bunch of my friends put several hundred hours into it, and I put 55 hours into it, which is about three times as much as an Animal Crossing game usually gets out of me.

Among Us still has its fans. I join a group every once in a while that sets up monthly game nights for it. That one has dropped quite a bit though. Eventually the game was unofficially made into a game mode in Fortnite, from what I hear, and I think that game mode gets played more within Fortnite now than the Among Us game does, but I'm not really sure.

It's also not too far removed and most likely inspired by social deduction board games that have existed and have been popular since the Werewolf/Mafia game from 1986, which Among Us is basically an action Werewolf with minigames and cute, marketable characters.

Tiktok is larger than ever, that seems like a bad one to include. Sourdough was legit flash in the pan, I think.
Nice try but it appears you didn't even read the draft RFC or any of the related resources. GNS is not trying to unseat ICANN it's trying to modernize the technical infrastructure. The GNS project does stand for user rights by advocating for a hyper-hyper local root but that's irrelevant to ICANN/registry governance as i explained in other comments on this thread.

Wasn't the initial engagement on Reddit the founders spamming under different names?
This is Liam, co-founder of wasmCloud, founder of Cosmonic, and co-chair of the CNCF Cloud Native Wasm Day.

I don't think this is actually as crazy as it sounds - when we designed the messaging around CNCF, container, and WebAssembly we deliberately went with a better together story.

Why?
In a large enterprises you have huge systems that each represent a variety of concerns - security, compliance, governance, reputation, etc, etc. These systems show up as stakeholders in software development like gates in CI/CD.

Starting with something like wasmCloud inside a container today lets enterprises leverage their existing benefits while still achieving _many_of the benefits of WebAssembly and wasmCloud. wasmCloud publishes docker containers, helm charts, and integrations with service mesh for that reason.

Start where your users are today and take them where you want to go.
Before anti-gouging laws, people outside the disaster area would fill all their jerry cans with gas, drive into the disaster zone, and sell it. After those laws were enacted, people did without gas until the government got around to trucking some in. Nobody except charities bothered to bring in supplies.
No-one I know plays it simply to win. I like starting with a new word every day just to see where it takes me. It's a meditative ritual. When we actually lose that itself becomes a fun topic to discuss.
You can actually pinpoint exactly where the argument goes from not great to super dumb.
2-3 month notice?! Holy shit, is this really standard?

In the US, it's univerally 2 weeks.
Ha, fictional stories are so much better right?
This is not enough if we don't stop DRM (which Firefox also supports).

DRM essentially means: only allow access with a program that implements certain required measures to restrict user's control over their own computer. Using content decryption blobs to restrict user's access to media streams handled by their own computer — is only a beginning, Web DRM will be eventually extended to allow more restrictions, including those to make it much harder to interfere with the display of ads.
> garbage collection

The draft WASM garbage collection proposal is partially implemented in Chromium, you can try it by enabling the enable-experimental-webassembly-features feature flag.

> DOM access

WebAssembly will never have direct access to the DOM, but at least with Rust the wasm-bindgen+web_sys crates make interacting with the DOM as simple as it is from JavaScript.
True - some are most definitively an insult to your intelligence (like most TV ads are).

Definitively can't say I miss any of them (web & TV ads).
This is tech debt.
Not sure what's wrong with games being "pay to win", isn't that the point of them?
Unless you meant pay to win, or the newer and weirder version, play to earn.
This is the best response I've seen to this question
yep was my thoughts too, WASM solves some problems well. But it isn't and can't replace general containers like Docker does, for some specific workloads sure but not a general solution. And yeah i don't quite think everyone talking about WASM understands its not just 'faster javascript' but a totally different world where you have to for example, BYO GC (or manage memory yourself if you like!).
this sounds closer to pairing, which IS a real-world skill & experience for many jobs, than your typical white-board programming nonsense.

As far as your technique, drafting then editing down is a totally legit way to write. I wish more people did that!
The idiom of ‘betting’ or ‘staking’ one’s life on a claim is common where I’m from. To clarify, my intent was to call into question a claim by OP and asking OP to back up their claim or stand down.

I can say this as someone with ADHD, neurodiversity specifically allows me to approach problems in radically different manners than my coworkers which sometimes makes things an absolute cake walk for me and sometimes makes them nearly insurmountable. This is a result of my approach to problem solving which has been trained on the problems I've experienced in the past and my natural disposition. I think an entirely homogeneous company would have issues with tunnel vision - they might be excellent at dealing with some issues and absolutely flabbergasted with others... having a more diverse team ensures that you've got more varied experiences to draw on when approaching problems.

Aside from all that, I think that diversity makes teams more healthy to work within - if everyone looks the same (straight white male) you're likely going to have cliquish social assumptions form in your team that will prevent you from hiring an excellent candidate that doesn't happen to fit the mold and might force out people who aren't what they appear: trans men, gay men and asians that appear white. As a company it's important to keep your workplace friendly to all potential employees and having a homogeneous company makes it more likely that a closed off social culture will form that makes life difficult for new employees.

I have never seen any studies to support this but thought I'd add at least a well reasoned opinion.
I think you may be misinterpreting my exhaustion --

I certainly agree that things have meaning. They have such a meaning that we standardize them.

Thanks to the standardization and proliferation of the technology, there's generally an obvious correct choice, and a few poor arguments for others. In other words, it's generally not hard to make these things follow the Principle of Least Astonishment[0]. Every now and then there might be an interesting constraint that makes for a different choice (e.g., don't store zip code as an integer, because it may have a leading zero).

The amount of verbose discussion that I observe any time rest semantics come up still baffles me.

Airbnb is not about the app, it is the database of available rooms with reviews and photos and all the details, also the brand value that generates page views to make those bookings happen.

The app is very very small part of Uber or AirBnb business
I have PC Game Pass ultimate. The only thing I've used it for is Halo. The games that I got for "free" on it I actually bought elsewhere and added up to less than I spent on ultimate, even new games like DeathLoop. I've spent about 80 on the games I could play from game pass, it's like $180/year (I paid less through friends at MS). Took me a 2 months to finish death loop, cost me $30 on steam sale, that's break even. They've crippled several indy games, for instance astroneer, to only play on supported premium servers, that cost my friend (with gamepass) $30 that he could have just purchased astroneer on (and just run server locally or a linode).

So far while game pass seems cool it's not really panning out monetarily for me.

Other than these big studios that MS built, the rest of the game pass catalog would be easy for sony to pick up on their own game pass.

I'll also note that no one seems to be talking about nintendo, who also has a great stable of titles, needs to take on game pass. Sony and Nintendo's exclusive catalogs are in the same ballpark (if very different).

Microsoft also loses out on the console money, since why would I buy a console when I have this gaming pc that's much better? So makes sense for me to just buy the PC games and a PS5, that and my switch has me covered.
Yeah, same. I have an ag robotics application that I can prototype with stock on hand (glad I prebought a few Pi Zero W now) but I won't be able to scale up my test fleet for the foreseeable future, and that's going to be a problem.
I think nyt being the top result when people search "wordle" is probably worth 7 figures.
The trouble with rationing is it assumes everyone has an equal need for rationed goods. Of course, this is absurd, and the result is gross mis-allocation. WW2 gas rationing is an illustrative example, as people either had more gas than they could use, and so wasted it, or were desperately short of what they needed.

Inevitably, criminal gangs arose to redistribute the rationed gas, complete with drive-by shootings.
If 73% of millennials started tweeting about their bowel movements tomorrow, would you be trying to monetize the toilet as the hottest new social network?

Social media is a communication tool. What you’re seeing is evidence that normal human beings share interests and discuss them. That is not automatic evidence that the interest needs to be technologically exploited at the source. That this is not immediately clear is a significant driver behind the most reprehensible parts of the computing industry. I also think you’re overlooking that “I solved it in four! Yay!” is a mild extension of the anecdotes you’re hearing about five minutes and forget (they’re not mutually exclusive). I bet even the engineers who spent the last couple weekends solving for the optimal word are ready to put that bag down, too, and are probably just as strongly in that five minute group.

It already has a Share button that is implemented in the most respectful way possible for a user. Wordle’s backlog is precisely zero items long. Anything you’d do to it to consider social media would make it fundamentally worse. That you think it’s a social network in waiting leaves a metallic taste in my mouth and a bunch of despair for where we are.
Not with normal Bitcoin, normal btc is fungible.
There are many things to love about WebAssembly, but let’s not forget it’s downsides. Like it’s threading model relies on Web workers and SharedArrayBuffers and is a royal pain in the … to work with. Not to mention that you’ll need to become COOP/COEP compliant to mitigate side-channel attacks.

Then there is the plain fact that it requires a compilation step, which is OK for large apps. But it makes me wonder if wasm really is the natural replacement for JavaScript in serverless cloud apps (aka “FaaS”).

So yes, WebAssembly has potential and is almost without an alternative for in-browser apps that do some heavy compute. But I am less convinced about server-side. Time and again, we’re told how great portability across architectures supposedly is. And time and again, the only cloud architecture that matters is x86-64. Maybe ARM or even RISC-V in some cases, but let’s not fool ourselves about these niche platforms.
Have you used SponsorBlock?
All this granular bullshit is entirely too much overhead and an unnecessary layer to "manage" imo. "Tech debt" and handling it should be part of your culture and by default included in the scope of any estimate that touches something affected by it. You negotiate out of addressing it, not into it.
Each to their own, of course. You have a better idea of what's safe for you.

That said I live in a snowy country and ride a bike. I absolutely wouldn't ride a motorcycle. Speed is by far the largest reason. On a bike, you can see black ice before you hit it. You can run a foot along the ground for extra traction. You can get out and walk and push your vehicle. You can just jump off if shit really hits the fan.

That said, I also ride slowly when the roads are poor.
Bluetooth: A Convenience or Concern?
The very article ends with the following: "But even so, again: video is expensive! And I simply can’t see how it’s worth their while to autoplay video on their site. Can anyone explain this to me?!"

I'm sure this was an answer to the article this thread references. Bandwidth is cheap and it only gets cheaper.
I had a physician explain that you need to treat the whole person (ie. address symptoms, serious issues, anything demonstrably problematic) because otherwise almost every person could be diagnosed with something and prescribed medications for. If you look for physiological abnormalities, you’ll find some. It’s why he said doctors discourage loading up on useless tests for no reason.

And then you risk creating more side effects in an otherwise healthy, complaint-free person.

A for-profit healthcare system wants this. Which is probably why the States medicates and prescribes so much more compared to other regions.
On the other hand, for some people Paracetamol (in the US Acetaminophen) works very well, and it's really cheap. So although there's been increasing oversight to reduce overdose deaths, I think you're going to keep seeing it available OTC in some form even though you're right it'd never get OK'd if invented today.

Once I realise that the Flu (or whatever) is inducing enough pain that I can't ignore it, or I start to run a serious fever, I take paracetamol to get on top of that, usually in the form of Lemsip because I'm bad at taking pills, Lemsip is cheap, and none of the other ingredients in ordinary Lemsip these days really do anything much, just the paracetamol.

I find maybe 1 or at most 2 of the "maximum" 1g (= 1000mg) doses a day gets the job done, which is well inside the indicated limits.

None of the OTC alternatives do it for me, they're not useless but the effect from the indicated dose is far reduced so I'm glad to have paracetamol. I've had fentanyl after surgery, which was certainly effective but seems like a very bad idea to have around the house, and Entonox after a road accident which again, effective but seems like a bad idea for OTC usage.
Pace people who believe oral arguments don’t make any diffence because justices just read the brief (ahem Thomas), Paul Clement’s terrible performance in the oral argument for the government pretty much sealed the fate of Citizens United.
You are correct. However me simply visiting a homepage (service) does not require communicating my data to third parties, and doing so is not in the legitimate interest of any of the first parties involved. In this case it would fall under the obligation of explicit content.
3. I believe there are a few places in the tax code where there is a difference between having a full-time job and a part-time job, are there any areas where you would have to lie to the govt when you have multiple full-time jobs?

Assuming US-centric. The one that comes to mind is your W-4 for each employer. If you fill it out correctly, it will be a big red flag to your employer. If you pretend like you only have the one job, it could potentially land you in trouble with the IRS as there will be nowhere near enough tax withheld. You might get away with it, anyway, as long as you paid taxes in full and on time, but you might have to pay taxes in installments. They don't like you to owe too much at the end of the year.
At the risk of sounding cliche, I think the pattern of frequent 1:1s is a technique for managing people instead of leading them.

I've experienced this in both roles, and honestly, engineers, no matter how junior, should be able to get by a few weeks without constant management intervention.

Maybe weekly 1:1 are so common because there's a glut of nontechnical managers who don't know what else to do with their time? That's not the situation Ben Kuhn describes, but I don't know.
This is ridiculous. It might be true that there are many great developers that have nothing on github but it is certinaly not true that "actual best developers have little or nothing to point to on github".

There are plenty of "actual best developers" who have prolific amounts of stuff on github, directly or indirectly.
I'm paying attention, but we are still in the hype phase.

"near-native performance" yeah a few seconds per hour. With all the jit and garbage collection, it's way too unreliable for anything that needs real-time performance and more than a pittance of CPU power.

Also, there's a canyon of difference between proper TensorFlow and its browser lite variant. Like the wasm backend chokes on 256x256 px background segmentation while xnnpack easily handles 200fps on CPU only.

For everything that can be inefficient, emscripten was already good enough. For stuff that needs efficiency, Wasm is not reliable enough yet.
Really makes the 12.5k units in stock number (For the Pi 4 Model B 8gb) at RS Online look suspicious...

I'm assuming it's just horribly out of date, or some terrible caching failure. Or just lies.

Or it's just a weird pile of unsold Pi 4's because that storefront only serves half the world trading under that name. (NA's storefront is different, and has them OOS)

I travel a lot on Europe (at least pre covid) and one of the worst social trends has been the spread of betting agencies, especially the aptly named Ladbrokes but a number of others too. They shoele up mostly in the poorer parts of big cities and suck the money out of poor people hoping for a break. I saw them largely first in England, then Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and noe pretty much everywhere.

They even look sad, just a bunch of screens showing sport, with machines to punch in your order. Often bars on the windows, or at minimum lots of cover so you can't see who is inside. Floors covered in dirt and betting slips, and mostly young to middle aged guys hanging around and looking absolutely always absolutely miserable.

Good public policy bans these places or at minimum taxes them so hard (and closes all the loopholes) that it isnf profitable anymore to fleece the poor addicted fools.

Shame on anyone perpetuating these businesses, buying stock in these companies, allowing them to rent their shop front, etc. At least national lotteries fund culture or other worthy causes, but nothing good at all comes from these places. Just miserable bankrupt families and heartbreak.
Milwaukee is still selling their nicad batteries, if you were in that platform before. The big brands (and this includes Ryobi, etc) do not change their batteries much at all.

The smaller brands like Craftsman and "store brands" seem to change relatively randomly.
The rich proportionally have less wealth in $, so this affects them less. Additionally, slight inflation tends to produce economic growth, furthering the value of their investments.

I'm honestly really excited about Microsoft using their proven history of remastering games (Halo, AoE) and applying it to that exact list of once-great icons. At this point all they need to do to gain a ton of goodwill is roll WoW into gamepass so it's not yet another subscription and fix the Warcraft remaster.

Those along with not clogging up the candy crush money printer will get them plenty of runway to really dig in and fix the culture.
Ugh. Yet another visual ML programming tool. They look great for demos. And are a complete disaster when you try to do real work. At any real-world level of complexity, managing boxes and arrows is totally untenable, and you need code. All the world's coding tools are great for code. Doing git diffs or code reviews on boxes and arrows just doesn't work.

This will join a crowded graveyard of visual ML tools along with the likes of ML.Net or Azure ML Studio Whatever, KNIME, CreateML, PyCaret, Teachable Machine, etc etc etc.

The pattern is very predictable. Nice demo. Excitement hits real-world problem. Complexity. Implosion.
People who need it more demonstrate that need by being willing to pay more for it.

> does often generated considerably better outcomes.

Nope. Usually, it generates criminal redistribution activity, hoarding, a greatly reduced supply, etc. All the miserable characteristics of a centrally planned economy.

During the gas crisis of the 1970s, gas stations could not sell gas until they were allocated (rationed) gas by the D.O.E. The allocation was based on the previous year's usage pattern. Of course, nothing stays the same, and one year Florida was overflowing with gas while there were loooong lines on the west coast. Also there were lovely instances of one gas station appealing to the DOE to get the allocation of the gas station across the street cut off as being "unneeded".

All these problems disappeared literally overnight when Reagan, as his first act as President, signed an Executive Order eliminating all oil & gas price controls and allocation.

I know it was overnight, because I remember the gas lines evaporating the very next day and never returning in the 40 years since.

Good. It's about time we took a hard damn look at the ludicrous mockery of common sense that copyright has made of things. Maybe people will start to appreciate the freedom to create once they realize that $industry has made it nogh impossible to do anything without getting sued.

The solution to bad law is not to ignore it, it's to follow it to the letter, every time. Only then will people sit up take notice, and weigh the tradeoffs. In particular, we've let industry run away with far too much of the public's right to do things.
