After several months of reading Reddit's r/metaverse, I have to agree. The number of crypto-related projects which have actually produced a working 3D world is very small. Most don't even try. The ones that work are mostly some web browser thing that looks like a Shockwave Flash game from 1999 or so.

I'm interested in large 3D virtual worlds with user created content.
I've read at least twenty metaverse "white papers" and "roadmaps" which go on and on about their "tokenomics" but have little or no info about how they actually intend to build a 3D world.
The contribution of the crypto crowd to actually making it happen is near zero. I'm disappointed. I've seen "fake it til you make it" before, but a lot of those guys aren't even trying.
I have never spammed in my entire life. But it seems I am also blacklisted. Pikachu :)

I was somewhat involved in (relatively early days of) real time bidding and targeted advertising, circa 2010 or so.

My data at the time led me to believe that there is a small-ish part of the population on which targeted advertising is effective, and all the effort (information-theoretic wise) is locating this group, when your only tool (in real time bidding, anyway) is bidding on random ad impressions.

I’m sure the world is different now, and this inight might not be relevant to today’s world. But it does explain why re-targeting is way more effective than most people assume.
lon=x, lat=y is not Mercator at all, it gives the "equirectangular" projection. This has none of the nice properties of Mercator (angles are heavily distorted).
I'm afraid that's not what happened in reality in Seattle. You repeated the allegations multiple times but repeating them doesn't make it true. There were criminals who came to that area, but the BLM themselves did not seem interested in that stuff.
And I was upset at the leaving of the area by the police, but the multiple admitted fake pics on fox news didn't show reality.

And now we know from the emails and discussions of the police and the mayor that they kind of left the police precinct with an expectation of the chaz that the precinct was going to be burned down after thet left by the crowd and they were almost disappointed . In Seattle we're currently in this weird situation where the police are basically in an almost complete work stoppage, and there's endless court battles about the cops who went to Jan 6, cops don't enforce Laws around property crimes. I don't see any future for the existing police force in Seattle. They just need to be fired and replaced en mass. But it will take years to eject them.

This is probably too much about Seattle but when trying to understand what's happening in Canada one has to be careful of the American press that lies about what's happening. My own dad believes that Seattle is burning basically.
You had me wondering there for a while. This is 009, and OP was 008. I think that actually makes it more likely to be different persons.
I have had the pleasure of fixing this silly bug in my weather app after switching location input autocomplete provider. I didn't even notice it for a while, but then Stockholm having 20 celsius in winter is unusual.

It is common to see lat/long, but in fairness long/lat makes more sense as it reflects x/y axis.

The other way to look at your statement is that secure encryption is inherently unbeatable by its very nature, and attempts to legislate against it are like trying to say that 1+1=3 for very large values of 1.

I believe in writing lawmakers and spreading awareness, but people who are skeptical of the legislative/voting path have a point: Building things that are ungovernable plays a critical role in this process. Likely we need to do both.

You seem to be so fixated on your personal interpretation that you are unable to read normal English.

The antecedent to "them" is in the previous sentence: the white politicians who passed the laws that prevented black people from immigrating to those states, and the white politicians who passed laws preventing black people from living in so-called Sundown towns.

Those are specific people, with specific names, if you wanted to look up the legislative record.

This certainly is NOT "white people".

This is a question about history. In US history, Mexicans, as an example of "Hispanics", WERE NOT CONSIDERED WHITE. Had you read the Wikipedia example of Sundown towns you would have seen "No Mexicans After Night".

Had you read the Wikipedia page on CRT you would have seen LatCRT as a subfield of CRT, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory#Latino_cr... .

Since you don't seem to understand the history, don't seem to track down relevant references, and since I can't seem to make myself understood, I see no point in continuing this discussion
Here in reality other companies have end to end encryption.
I write to all my Democrat reps (I live in a solidly blue state) and get shit all nothing in response to positions that go against the mainstream leftist positions. I still do it because... eh, why not, but I know it has zero value. It's sad.
Well that's another problem with Android that I wanted to touch on: it's not trivial to try out different OS, which I think is more a fault of the phone manufacturers rather than just Google.

The whole smart phone ecosystem is all about walled gardens.

I agree about battery life for iPhone, pretty much everyone who owns one complains about how their battery doesn't even last a day. My Nokia X20 can last 3 days with light usage... Which I suppose makes up for the poor proximity sensor.
I am having some serious slowdown issues since 1.* on Win 10, so I'm stuck on 0.92.

I have no qualms with it, but the issue plagues all my Win 10 machines and I just wonder what's going on, and if I'm a select minority with it.

Besides that, thanks Inkscape for being such an incredibly useful vector tool!

>> HIPAA can't be easily pronounced

> Most people don't seem to agree with you.

This is how we started the thread, by observing that people have enormous problems spelling HIPAA because they believe the spelling should correspond to the pronunciation.

A precondition for this observation is that the spelling isn't being pronounced.
I don't think selling things to people while they are drunk/high/otherwise is invalid. Otherwise Walmart would have to breathalyze visitors.

However, it's massively, objectively, unequivocally unethical, and part of the reason I quit that place. And for the record, selling crap to drunk people in APAC was probably the least morally suspect tactic this company got up too.

Depends on definition of „people’s rights“.

If you want to ensure very basic rights, small government is fine. If you want affirmative action and all that jazz, then you’ll need big government. That will likely abuse tools meant for good to make society not free anymore.

Small business owners banded together to lobby WA state offices, regional offices, etc in the form of letters, calls, emails, and social media, and what that amounted to was having the 2nd most harsh lockdowns / business closures with zero financial compensation from the state.

Gov. Inslee and the Democrats below him had absolutely zero desire to engage in discussing concepts about how to safely keep small businesses open, even when we noted everything Gov. Polis (D-CO) was doing to try and balance things out.

All Inslee cared about was driving one number (COVID cases) down as much as possible to the exclusion of everything else. No amount of lobbying mattered.

If it drove any sort of policy... it had a backwards effect at best. All while huge corporations in our state like Microsoft and Amazon generated record revenues and drove their stock prices up.
The least complex software is the one never built. We often over-automate. Automation is brittle and inflexible and easily ends up lined with edge cases and other types o complexity.

Automation is great when it replaces a stable, well-working manual process.

The way to introduce automation is to first experiment with humans doing something manually until you have a great process. Then take the dumbest, most reliable part of that and turn it into a computer program that alerts a human if it encounters an edge case.

Try not to handle edge cases in the software, but try to remove them from the greater system in which they occur.

Automate by elimination, not by complexity.

Good books in this vein would be anything with Taiichi Ohno in the title, or, perhaps better, as the author.

If there's no way to track a transaction, would you even consider this a blockchain given that traceability is such a key ideal to decentralized trust?

I mean, not a lot, but enough:

The most common pronunciation of “aa”, especially when its not in initial position, seems to be IPA ɑː

Which is how pretty much everyone in the field pronounces it in “HIPAA”.

> They just want to provide a life for their family.

That's true, and keeping people worried about their next paycheck is a great way to control them.

The good thing about this "great resignation" or "great renegotiation", is that some people are starting to take that fight into their own hands. They are shifting the power and taking control of their own lives.

Eventually their focus will no longer be on short-term survival, and thry will take control of other aspects of their lives that currently are not so pressing.

I'm hopeful that younger people will be more aware, and see through these boomer games.

Have you used a vr headset? It's great for gaming if you want to experience immersion, but for everyone else it's like being blind folded (not ideal in a public or office environment).

No matter how good the hardware gets, vr will not reach mainstream audiences for a similar reason 3d glasses didn't. No one likes putting technology on their heads or faces. Spectacles are an exception.

Ah, well here comes the problem - if your dependency changes a major version but your code seems to continue to run correctly, i.e. tests pass, how much more time do you need to spend to investigate the cause for the major version change? I think this example exposes the futility of semantic versioning.
Web3 is a buzz word. People that use the buzz word let you know that they don't value the things that you have been misled to believe. The people that value the important things will say the important things, not use a buzzword to try to get a few extra clicks.

I've only been writing Django professionally for the past month and I've already bumped into some situations where [3rd party tool] was a terrible idea because it had compatibility issues or the project was no longer maintained. I'm already determined to just stick to core Django functionality and write everything else I need as minimally as possible myself.
I adore Bruges, and Ghent for that matter, and have been a few times. The first time I went for whatever reason it felt virtually empty, weirder still since there was some kind of marathon that day. I ended up going to a centuries-old bar and having spaghetti (and beer of course) of all things.
The issue really exists only at I/O boundaries, where if there is a format mismatch you have to convert, which incurs some costs (CPU mostly, and memory bandwidth). Most languages can inline the data such that there isn't much overhead in accessing the raw bytes. Arrays with aliases for indexes (like you did, or in JS maybe I'd do something like `const LAT = 0, LON = 1; point[LAT]`, C-family languages can pack the bytes into tight structs where field names act as aliases to the memory location, Haskell has the UNPACK pragma etc.

Btw, give that you have a PointCoordinates type, why not f(p: PointCoordinates)?

The late David Graeber helped shape grounded ideas on money. His book entitled "Debt: The First 5000 Years" cover the topic, but he also discusses the core ideas in interviews freely available on YouTube.
Quickly browsing through leaves me with the impression that HackerNews has really done a great job of preserving the culture of the website. Meanwhile, Reddit has gotten so much worse, so much more political, even in the last ~7 years.
That depends on how well your bash script is constructed. If you carefully handle the falling case such as missing commands, non-root permissions, etc. It can be easy to use and kind of portable. Of course python scripts have better error trace so if the script doesnt work others can debug with relatively easily.
Although good advice, this is also an area where Nim could shine.
It looks nice, I think I'm going to give it a try. But how is it different from Mermaid.js?
You say it like it's a done deal, but virtually every book map paper and UI disagree with you.

Outside of the programming bubble we're not in a world where you ever need to think twice about the order. I don't go to Wikipedia and think "hmm I wonder which order they wrote their coordinates". I don't need to check the publication date of a map or book. I don't see that ever changing

And as I explained the benefits are kind of half-assed. If you want a more intuitive internal system than I think you can do better. You should full-ass it and re-zero it to whatever makes sense in your situation (or even change the units, or remap to go from degrees to the 0 UINT_MAX range and have your unsigned values automatically wrap around) - but keep the API in standard notation.

> Yes, rendering is by definition I/O.

First of all rendering is not by definition I/O except in the trivial sense that all functions take input and produce output. A pure 3D rendering function takes game state as input and produces a list of triangles + attributes to draw as output.

Even if that were true it would only further validate my point.

> Do you have anything to back that up?

Yes, I already showed that Render.hs validates my point.
Do you have a citation for that? The only standard I can find is 6709.

To avoid the extreme slowdown (and crash after a while) on win10, close the document property tab (!!)

Anyway, inkscape has really disappointed me with multiple serious regressions.

My government has just spent 2 years - a pretty significant percentage of a lifetime - working to keep me from travelling more than 5km from my home and made it illegal for me to see my friends. And I'm not even going to have a sympathetic audience if I try to claim this is against my wishes or wellbeing.

Run me through, in simple terms, how much worse it could get? I suppose they aren't trying to kill me, which is a nice minimum standard? These people have no respect for my rights. They don't think my rights rate on the scale of their objectives. And they want to spy on my mail - possibly to figure out from my phone if I've gone 6km from my home? I would quite like strong encryption by default and a weak government, please.

If you think that manipulating people is evil, then ads are evil and hence Meta and Alphabet are evil.

If you think that some manipulation is evil, then it's about how they manipulate and on which issues. Perhaps manipulating people to buy something is ok but manipulating them to harm the society (something which Meta is clearly guilty of) is not. Then these companies could turn good if they just turned down a lot of their profit. Which of course won't happen because as companies their prime directive is to make money.

If you think that all manipulation is ok then your opinion should be dismissed.
As can be seen here, it’s really distracting. Writing years like that is a great way to have people ignore or forget what you’re actually wanting to communicate.
