CanonRumors is a good site about... You guessed it, rumors about upcoming Canon gear. It's actually a great site, the original afaict, read by a lot of working pros and amateurs alike. The posts by CanonRumors Guy are balanced and vetted (as well as he can for rumors, anyway), and the discussion boards are great if you're a canon nerd.
It's really hard to see the guy have one really shitty day on Twitter and as a result have his site basically go up in flames. I don't know GeralUndone from a hole in the wall, but there are more than enough YouTube reviewers, while CR played a very important part in the Canon news ecosystem. As others have said here, plenty of YouTubers source their info from sites like CR.

I'm guessing the wall of ads in his last post is because CR Guy is bitter about how YTers are paid relative to his site, but he doesn't realize how many appreciate his work.
> it's liable to turn into the same mess Reddit has

Reddit has its problems but the idea that it’s somehow worse than Twitter is laughable.

Even with vote brigading subreddits are moderated and so actual content brigading is much rarer. Can you say the same about Twitter?
They didn't decline to boost employee pay -- they declined to make an across the board COL adjustment. Instead they will build the COL adjustment into each person's annual raise along with a performance bonus.

You're only hearing about these guys because they are required to report it in their SEC filings.
Just responding to the title: Because it's Facebook but for people that think it's actually important?
That's entirely fair, yeah. Still much faster than closing the patient back up so you can drive them to imaging!
You’d think that a demonstrated history of violence to air crew (for a sufficient definition of violence) would be a stronger reason than potential violence. But the no-fly list is sort of like the felony lifetime forfeiture of constitional rights, so it would seem that felonies as opposed to misdemeanors would be the minimum bar.
How much is pagerank involved in google searches these days? I wonder, if they were to revert to an early version of it, would searches improve? Or did they move away / update / augment it to prevent seo abuse?
So you mean a.. price?
Every single other big developer seems to focus on high end graphics and extensive scripted stories, not sure how Nintendo managed to keep the focus on FUN instead. Graphics and stories are much easier to produce than FUN, Nintendo somehow managed to avoid that. I wonder if this is the culture barrier? Making a game people want to buy without a story or graphics is really hard, but Nintendo chooses that hard path anyway. Very different from the Hollywood games we see from USA where most of the money is spent on motion capture, graphics, effects, storytelling etc.
The USD is relatively overvalued due to the geopolitical position of the United States, the petrodollar system, etc. By being the "reserve currency" it has built-in additional demand beyond what would be expected. This strengthens the dollar and weakens others by comparison, leading to the persistent trade deficits the U.S. suffers with many other economies, lack of competitiveness of U.S. exports, etc.

At least, that's my understanding.
Entries only iterates enumerable items (unless you make something evil). None of the native types with entries in their prototype iterate over that method
By the way, on macOS, Crossover (which uses WINE) works pretty well for me for that use case. My main use is for running Micro-Cap[1], a previously expensive circuit simulator with a decades old history, that has been made entirely free when the company seized doing business in 2019. (My guess is that the owner retired.)

I get what you're saying, but I still think there's meaningful differences.

The country I'm in currently has a coalition of 4 parties, which still only barely gives a majority.

During campaigns, none of these parties can carry out the extremely aggressive politics as seen in the US where you smear the other at any and all cost. Because if you do, you won't be part of the coming coalition. This dynamic means that campaigning largely means telling the story of your party, instead of mud slinging other parties.

Blocking other parties for the sake of blocking the other party ("owning" them) in the senate or otherwise will be remembered. If you're unreasonable and childish, you won't be considered for the next coalition.

Getting a majority and then intentionally undoing the progress from the previous coalition is also frowned upon. It's another red flag for a future coalition.

So politics is building bridges and finding consensus amidst all players.
Physical Design Using Differentiable Learned Simulators
As a mainly #pcmasterrace fiend here, I disagree. The XBX, even at its low end, is an amazingly performant little (x) box. PC gaming has not advanced anywhere to a generational gap, unfortunately.

As for the controller - no one should be paying 150 USD for what amounts to a couple of plastic addons on an already overpriced controller. Compared to the Switch's controllers, they are sublime. Compared to PS4/5's, they are superior but relatively comparable.
Can you define "peg" in this circumstance ? Because if your friends wanted you to have sex with the male bird, these people are not your friends.
I almost bought that one, but who wears e-people anymore in 2022?
Yes this. This really feels like a vast over-extension of the "don't break userland" axiom. It's obvious with only a little thought that many bugs in a kernel can be accidentally relied on somehow, and many almost certainly have been and have still been fixed in the linux kernel anyways (maybe by accident).

It seems like a Linus quote from one of his notorious angry emails turned into a meme that got out of hand and now people are taking it too seriously.

And yeah, the posix quotes that have been presented paint a picture much more like "posix doesn't demand you not support null/empty argv or argc==0, but it would prefer you not" to me.
> LinkedIn would be so much better if it was just a web interface for your resume and a rolodex for your networking contacts

It is. But some section of people, especially, those with average skills and questionable capabilities, tend to pad their profile with bullshit posts. I know I am being too unkind, but many people I know who are in that groove, post these cringe content to "look good".

The talented ones? They use it as an online resume.

Of course, LI exacerbates the cringe with its auto generated posts.
So the company went from user-hostile to employee-hostile.
Congratulations.
I've used it a couple of 100 hours to make 3d models for 3d-printing.

Once you get used to it it is possible to do complex designs that can be edited afterwards. In the beginning it felt like every change I made would break the model so much that I couldn't repair it again.

Now when I start a design I always start with a spreadsheet and add variables with measurements that I use in the model. Afterwards with a careful designed model I can change the variables and the model react to it in a good way. It took me a while to figure out this way if working. You learn what part works and what parts to stay away from.

That said. The GUI sucks. It crashes a lot. There are lots of weird bugs. The stable release 0.19.3 is very unstable on my computer. Even so it's a great tool for me and I'm grateful of the work put in by the developers!

The unreleased 0.20 is so much better and crashes a lot less. I wish they would just release it and be done with it.
When I was in Europe as a student, everybody wanted to know what state I was from, so I got used to answering that way. Surprisingly, everybody seemed to know all the U.S. states, and had pretty strong mental associations with a lot of them. I'm from Texas, and to them, that meant horses and cowboys and George Strait and "howdy, y'all!"
How are the activities you listed a meta game instead of just a regular game with no Greek prefix?
>In most countries a tourist visa expressly prohibits working while in the country, even if the work is entirely remote.

I doubt there is any tourist visa that explicitly prohibits working for a company in another country. Were this true, everyone checking their work email, or taking a work call, while on vacation, would be breaking the law.
>Getting a console and a portable in one unit was also brilliant and something that neither Sony or Microsoft can do

Actually the PSP had video out. Really just a marketing thing.
> And I'd say you're just telling yourself a retroactively edited story that there is a singular subjective experience in order to make sense of our own thoughts and behaviours

So look, "The Intentional Stance" is for me one of the most important books I've ever read in this general area, and I totally buy all the stuff Dennett and others have built up around the idea that what we are conscious of is an edited, self-created, intention-injected model of our own selves (to whatever extent there is a unitary self to be a model of).

But I don't think that any of that addresses "how can we be conscious of anything at all".

In the quote I included above, who is the "you" that is telling and who is the "yourself" that is being told? But more importantly, what does "being told" mean? How does one have an experience (whether it is being told, or being cold, or being old)? It's not enough to say "we're not conscious, we just think we are" - the conundrum of consciousness is not about how humans think, but the fact that we have subjective experience (which may includes lies told to ourselves by ourselves).
Not if the chain can scale -- ie not "fast finality" but being able to throw more resources at the problem as adoption increases (unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum and most single-chain POS systems however). Gas' true function is to stop griefing, the fact that it sends tx costs through the roof is because immature tech.
Its interesting to see how people promote themselves and self-censor themselves when the subject is getting hired or hiring.
Honestly, you probably haven't seen top-notch modern game graphics.

I remember being wowed a couple years ago by each successive release of Mass Effect that I worked my way through. ME:Andromeda may have been a bit of a dumpster fire, but the graphics were pretty as hell.

Then I played Control, and it blew my socks off.

The recent Alien game was also stunning.
I tend to think that's exactly what's happening here. What you may be perceiving as an academic exercise (based on earlier comment), I see as merely SOP for the entertainment industry to dust off old stories and making us all dumber in the process.
Their hardware quality is definitely sub-par. I got the Pro Controller because the joycons are The Worst [1], and it's definitely the worst quality controller compared to Xbox and PS4. For example, its D-Pad will occasionally mis-press up or down when pressing right or left, which is failing the basic purpose of a D-Pad.

That said, the concept of the Switch remains fantastic, and I take it with me whenever I travel. I'm definitely in line for getting the Steam Deck.

That really should have been available at launch.

That’s not a very high bar :P
And everyone who donated absolutely should do a charge back.

Not because of the climate. Polar bears are not native to Iceland; all that swim there are shot.
I don't think he gets anything wrong after the first essay. Everything after just sounded like a way to make a mountain out of a molehill in terms of an interesting essay.
I’m not talking about ads. I’m talking about the “natural” search results.

Of course those are also really ads in a sense, but somehow there’s got to be a way to provide a real search engine that doesn’t show only e-commerce sites. I’ll pay for it!
If the game is scientific research, the metagame is as described.
Oh look, another PIP story. What is this, Blind?

This may have happened, but doesn't align with my experiences at Amazon. Maybe things are different based on what org you're in.
Yep, they do. I’ve been replaying Paper Mario via the Switch, and that game is as fun as it was the day it came out. Just fantastic.
Hey so I have to ask, do you actually like what you do? I don't mean that in a rude way or anything. I just honestly don't know what people do at FB anymore. Do you work on the core platform or are you working on Mark's new idea?
Is clicking on the notification and then clicking install that hard to do?
I do not believe this is entirely accurate. Some truths there, but a healthy lack of nuance. I always steelman a fellow web citizen's comments. However, I am finding it difficult to do here with the lack of civility, courtesy, & respect onto others.
It's called Lateral Thinking with Withered Technology. It was Gunpei Yokoi's credo. Other console makers start off with, okay, we are going to design a system around the latest and best technology and really wow people with our graphics. Nintendo starts off with, what can we build using old technology that we can pick up for a song and second-source easily if need be? So it becomes a question of, how do you combine these old technologies in new ways that would have a fun gameplay story in them? When you do LTwWT, you really have to focus on gameplay and fun, because you don't have much to fall back on. And then on the software side the question becomes, what kinds of games can we write for this system that a) play to the system's strengths; b) look, sound, and feel great, even with the hardware's more limited capabilities?

Developing for a Nintendo system is not for everybody. It's like being a Mac developer only more so: you have to write software that integrates smoothly with the hardware and contributes to the grand narrative of the vendor.
“Here” in my comment was referring specifically to Rails’ use of the latter method, sorry for the confusion
Nice idea! Only two annoyances are the vertical scroll that up-down keys mess with and that the up key doesn't the thing like it does on normal tetris.
It was an actual example of the CIC website.

I’m paraphrasing slightly but they said work performed on the internet by someone not usually resident in Canada was permitted if the employer wasn’t a Canadian company.
Same thing if there's a movie adaptation of the book you're looking for.
You haven't answered the question.

Tiktok is a bunch of videos. A lot of them, according to you. You open the app and play a video. Then it suggests the next one.

How does this conceptually bring anything new, other than it working well? I mean, I know what an app is. I have Youtube, which also has lots of videos. It's an app to watch videos. Shocking?
Interesting. If this were taken seriously, legally speaking, would they have less rights? There is an interesting intersection here with veganism, carnivorism and animal rights.
Wasn’t FarmVille and applications like them Flash based?

You also have to remember even as late as 2011, Motorola was trying to sell the Xoom tablet as being able to browse “the real internet” because it (belatedly) supported Flash.

But then we still get back to the fact that in 2008, the iPhone 3G had 128MB RAM and couldn’t even fully load a regular web page. When you scrolled to fast, there was a checkerboard while it tried to render the rest of the page. It definitely couldn’t do any complex animation within Safari.
It's not an autopilot crash. That's the FUD you're spreading.
Where does that false conclusion occur? What is the entity in which it occurs?

There is no "conclusion" here in the sense of "2+2=4". What is at stake is not a reasoned, or evidential analysis of how the world is. It is, rather, that subjective experience exists (we know it exists because we have subjective experience, and whether the experience is of something invented and false does not change the fact that the experience exists).

Regardless of whether there is a singular "you" or, in Minsky's term, a "society of mind" (or self, to line up with Dennett a little more), something enjoys subjective experience, and you call that that "you". It doesn't really matter how it arises, whether it accurately reflects the operations of the brain/body: the existence of subjective experience creates a self.
Agreed. I do sometimes wonder if academia shouldn't be blown up and replaced wholesale with something different.

The new thing would have to have different incentives, or the same problems would just re-occur.
I'm not unfamiliar with the subject matter.
Sounds like they aren’t willing to go to bat for you if one of their “partners” (not just AppStore and payment processors, but also cloud service providers) pressure them. Very easy out to censor anything.
Soon enough they will all be gone. Dusts hands off
Nice, looking forward to the NYT acquisition.
A merger is an admission that a company has no better internal development project to put money into. (This also applies to stock buybacks.)

This is an admission that the management has failed. Doubly so if they simply shut down the acquired business.

The proper "capitalistic" solution would be to allow the competitor to grow big and kill the dinosaur.

We need to block mergers even from a purely "capitalist" viewpoint because it prevents the efficient new competitors from displacing the old inefficient ones.
Programming sucks, to do well you really have to enjoy the way it sucks.
Only time I shapeshifted to an animal it was an imaginary animal.
This is generally what most use it for I assume. All the cruft on the stories posted on the blog feed is a garbage dumpster. Messaging is how I keep in contact with past work colleagues.
Yeah so I'm just going to say it: some perspectives expressed here about valid home identities are really disappointing.

All the way from "it's not as big as my country so I'll decide if it gets to be considered a country", through "your local definition doesn't count", to "make your own poll then".

Yeeeeesh.

Conversation here is supposed to be stimulating. Instead, parts of this thread are narrow-minded, petty, and alienating.

Frankly, it's depressing.

I don't think this will prompt a lot of computer programmers at Google to move to a company that pays better.
I thought it was dementia like changes according to the first news reports.
> I'm not aware of Tesla specifics, but i've previously read several stories on HN of car computers who wouldn't let the driver be in control.

That can't happen. People misremember things when they're in a panicked state. Or they're exaggerating to defend themselves. The instant you even slightly tug on the wheel autopilot and autosteer of any kind will disengage and revert to a traffic aware cruise control state (with an audible chime). And any application of the brake disengages autopilot/autosteer and also automatic cruise control with an audible chime.

> I mean apparently you've been around for a while on these forums. You're surely educated that software can never be trusted, especially with life-endangering situations.

I'm not sure what you're saying. People aren't "trusting" it yet which is why it's easy to disengage and override.
For some searches the results don't include my search terms. They just go silently straight to the "did you mean?" results.
A call replicate a paper that's demonstrably fraudulent seems even more of a cover-up of the fraud as just doing nothing.

The original paper was published while the first author was an undergraduate, btw, so they probably didn't have a complete grasp of the issue.

30 fps v. 60 fps is a large enough difference to affect gameplay enjoyment. The resolution and texture clarity is not nearly as important as fluidity and responsiveness in controls.

There are a handful of Switch games that reach 60 fps, so it has a ton of promise, but a 2.0 release would certainly be great.
This is a very important role for alternative OSes.

What makes Serenity OS and others like it useful for this purpose is that they have much less unnecessary complication, so that much more of the effort can go into actually experimenting with the feature, as opposed to trying to slot it in compatibly with all the historical baggage.

Another useful quality is how they can demonstrate that a language some insist is unsuitable for kernels is, in fact, much better suited. You cannot write a whole competitive desktop OS almost single-handed without some decisive advantages. Serenity OS is coded in modern C++, and leans hard on its strong support for writing cleaner code.

An OS kernel, besides providing a platform, is a big program. Any big program makes heavy demands on programmer and language, independent of its purpose.
Do you find a advantage of privacy badger vs blocking all third party cookies? I just dump my full cache everytime I close Firefox.
C'mon, everyone gets a chance to speak in class without being laughed at. Be nice.
Does anyone know a solution against input lag? I have a pro controller, but even having it 20cm from the Switch it still has noticeable delays with inputs in games. It's my biggest gripe with the console. Plugging in the controller doesn't seem to fix it.

Otherwise, pre-pandemic the Switch has been a godsend on 20 hour flights.
I’ve felt the same way for 25 years. I haven’t programmed as a hobbyist since graduating from college in 1996.

BTW, I would never want to be an SDE at Amazon. I don’t do on call. I work in consulting. We are told that we are “in charge of our own calendar”. Meaning that if we are putting in more than 40 hours regularly, we aren’t managing our projects correctly.

On a day to day basis, my actual manager only has a high level idea of what I’m working on. We as consultants guide our project implementations.
Looks fine to me

Sure. Sorry you've had some bad breaks, and some decisions didn't turn out like you'd want.

To be sure, some people have bad luck. Some have good. It's nobody's fault, and nobody's responsibility to fix it all.

Better luck (and better luck with decisions) to you going forward.

It seems the real philosophical meat (or tofu, for vegetarians) behind this post is in the linked article:

"Section 230: Mend It, Don’t End It"
https://medium.com/craft-ventures/section-230-mend-it-dont-e...

Which calls for corrections to the "liability shield" for platforms that host user-generated content, such that they remain shielded if they limit user-generated speech in line with First Amendment principles. The pitch is that 1A principles are more uniform and well-understood, as compared with each companies' own views on what constitutes "objectionable content".
Or if they assumed the order was meaningful, which they apparently don't.

They only hire the best of the best!
