I could see there eventually being some NFT project that gets implemented kind of like a shared library in a bunch of games, but I agree that it won't be most NFT projects (probably just one or two "winners", and probably no existing project that's out there right now, I'm betting, most are profile pic centered and not object/weapon-centered) and it certainly won't be all games that do it. There could come a time where it makes good marketing sense to include support for certain ones, though.

I agree that right now it would not make much financial sense as there's a lot of vehement hatred of NFTs out there and I don't think any project is yet big enough to recoup the time and investment spent, unless it's on some really basic level, like supporting importing of the images and putting them on the walls of a house or something (I've seen something similar like that already).

I do agree that people buying these things thinking everything they're buying they'll be able to take to every single virtual place they go to and be able to hold a 3d model of it and wield it in the future are likely just deluding themselves, unless there's eventually some software library that builds these things automatically without artists having to manually build them or developers having to put code in to support, it in the future.

And even then it will likely butt heads with various limitations of the game engine unless controlled, like number of polygons it can handle and not clipping through environments/animations, not being able to be much more than a static model without more metadata included/manual effort involved, etc.

Although perhaps for anything manual that is involved that person that owns the NFT could hire someone to adjust things so it works better in the game they're wanting to play, assuming there are tools included with the game to do so. Like there's already NFT projects out there making 3D models of certain NFTs specific for certain game worlds using their existing tools, or the owners currently commissioning new art based on their NFT art, etc.

Just taking it as it is currently on a profile pic level, we see that Twitter supports NFTs officially now with Twitter Blue, and Discord seems to be on the verge of supporting it, and possibly more sites in the future, and even if other sites don't support it officially, unofficially you could use an NFT as a picture anywhere (even those you don't own of course, but most people in these spaces do seem to stick with those they own). That's taking an NFT and using it in multiple platforms, and companies having a financial incentive to include support for it, right there.

It's not that much of a stretch to see that happening for some games in the future, especially those built with support of high levels of customization or with prior knowledge of the NFT space and trying to incorporate it from the start of development, which some of these metaverse-like games are definitely doing with Decentraland and Sandbox (albeit right now at the detriment of gameplay, imo. They're pretty boring spaces at the moment, mostly just run around and talk to people).
I don't think there is much of an argument. CMSes work and they do a ton of other stuff besides edit text that people want.

And they can be cloud managed with no manual setup. Their black box point and click model is great for division of labor.

Although, GitHub is a pretty great publishing platform for open source texts, but that's a whole platform that just happens to have text files at the core.

Running your own site... is kinda unpleasant. DokuWiki is a pretty good compromise with most of the benefits of straight text.

What do you mean by relying on own immune system? Do you believe that with vaccination your own immune system is switched off?
I had a similar problem with my markdown CV. The layout was never quite right and it was a lot of iterating to get even that far. I ended up just using pages, which I hardly know, but could get to do what I wanted.
I mostly agree with the moral high ground dilemma. An important distinction is that in free countries we can at least talk about (let alone protest) bad behavior, and without fear of being disappeared. That's a real path toward positive change that doesn't exist in China.
I have been diagnosed (surprisingly, too, as I was being investigated for something else) and while I know ADHD "exists", I will concede it's probably an overly broad compromise of a diagnosis for now. But then other well known conditions are too: IBS, fibromyalgia, CFS, for starters.

All these conditions represent something real going on, even if the currently used terms aren't precise. Much as celiac disease was considered a general bowel complaint by pre-1850s doctors before being eventually discovered, I think with ADHD we'll see more discrete conditions being discovered and understood too (e.g. a specific sub-condition that reduces the transport of dopamine in the brain, say). But, for now, ADHD is the term we've got to work with.
It's not even a threat really. Everyone is quoting an SEC filing by Facebook where it lays that out as a worst-case scenario - which is what companies do so they don't get sued by stockholders trying to get them to pay up because they "hid information" from them if there is any further trouble with EU access (which there likely will be). Facebook just has officially told everybody the obvious fact of "we have issues with EU regulations, this could get bad", as they are supposed to do as a public company.
Honestly, the software probably is garbage, because more or less all of it is. We can accept this without being nasty about it.

Decent or non-terrible software is the surprise and the exception, not the rule.

White House science adviser Eric Lander resigns after bullying investigation
The headline here is that this is yet another instance of the company lying to its customers. Yes, intentionally withholding information is a form of lying. I do not understand how we can live in a time that people are disgusted with Facebook's behavior and VW's scandal in living memory and consciously give Tesla the benefit of the doubt. It is all corporations lying to consumers in the name of the bottom line. You either like it or you don't. The shape of the logo does not matter.
We all know that Meta has zero intention of pulling Facebook and Instagram from the EU market. That is 400m+ people, Mark can get away with a lot but that is a move even he couldn't pull off.

Not really sure what Meta's angle is with this 'threat'.
It’s a bit strange to think about business success as purely a function of users isn’t it? Especially when those users are product themselves.

Facebook, and all other advertisers, sell the attention of their users to third parties called customers. If this customer base is growing, and the amount of user attention is growing, it seems like there is plenty of greenfield to prospect to me.
There are many points of no return. There is a difference between 5 degrees of warming and 10 or 20.
It's a bad move by Meta; unless they were attempting to shed some share price by going up against a bloc that is reknowned for pushing back.
And why wouldn’t the game developers issue these rare swords rather than a foreign non gaming) entity whose sole value is in creating made up scarcity. Game developers can do this themselves without grifters.

Meta is like Alphabet. Facebook, Insta, WhatsApp are products under Meta. Facebook the product will stay the same. Where it gets a bit hazy is what the new "Metaverse" product will be exactly, something something VR something AR.
Most frameworks (web-frameworks at least) get you from 0 to 80% in very little time. Nice layout/css etc, but they require you to learn how they want to do everything; which can be both cumbersome and time consuming. Frameworks also gives management false expectations of how long it takes to make something.

"can AI actually determine female vs male nipples?"

Not with 100% accuracy, but on average yes, as a female breast is indeed quite different from a male breast.
Shape, hair, size, ...

But there are of course exeptions. Muscular women, with small breast who did not breast feed yet, are probably quite hard to detect.
You could also do (a + (b-a)/2) where a is the smaller number.
How exactly is the company lying? It’s not like the spec sheet for the car specifically lists redundant power steering systems, it’s a minor implementation detail.

Would you expect Tesla to also put out an announcement if they started sourcing their upholstery from a different source, or used different stitching on the steering wheel? None of this thing impact the usability of the car in any meaningful way, and none of them are listed as part of the detailed specs.

Teslas also add new things to their cars all the time, such as matrix headlights that they added to the Model 3 last year, and heat pump based heating system.
That's a great plan, provided you can consistently hit profit targets. Meta's had trouble with that one lately.
Well, games have a complex reputation.

Are they works of staggering complexity, pushing the limits of what hardware can do, and one of the few examples of software people will actually pay for?

Or are they gigantic mountains of poorly tested hacks, laden with bugs at release, developed under abusive conditions and riddled with DRM, microtransactions and gambling mechanics?
Quite a lot of stuff is uploaded with lower quality on YouTube, often on purpose (e.g. popular techno channels like HATE are allowed to upload a lot of tracks but it's still a type of promo so it's at a Lower bitrate) compared to the lossless option on Spotify. I'd wager most wouldnt notice the difference though.
A visual editor can be a nice tool to do that. In one side, the notation with placeholder describing the expected input, In the other side, how the notation can be evaluated with the existing ones using the same input. You can add things like loops.

You can also put authentication in front of cloudflare argo tunnels, so you can securely expose internally hosted applications to the internet. A zero trust or BeyondCorp model is usally way easier than VPNs etc. It is a really nice alternative to hosting Buzzfeed SSO or Pomerium too.
The private sector varies pretty heavily. I think it's fair to say that some companies/industries have a much better "purpose" than others.

I work in online payments right now. It's no Stripe - we're a smaller shop. But ultimately it feels good to know that many small businesses and mom-n-pop shops depend on us for their livelihood.

On the flip-side, I have a friend who spent many years working for this weird ponzi scheme / multi-level-marketing shop (overseas) that spent their insane earnings funding really bad movies starring the founder's adult kids. I have to imagine that person would have a much harder time finding a sense of purpose than I do at my current employer.
Nice. People often dismiss IDLE as too basic, but at least is available by default in the base system. That's godsend when you're taking your first steps learning a language. I believe IDLE single-handedly made me a Python programmer instead of a Ruby programmer. I tried Ruby first, to this day it think it's even a nicer language, drawing much inspiration from Smalltalk. But trying to set the environment for the first time, I got stuck trying to call the ruby interpreter from a text editor, and gave up. With Python there was IDLE out of the box, and there was no such problem. Languages that save you the chore of assembling a proper environment from loose parts by hand before any actual programming are a blessing.
I use this to expose services running in Kubernetes clusters and have Cloudflare tunnel pointing at my Kube gateways.

It makes a ton of things like cluster failover much simpler than they otherwise would be.
This is regrettable. I'm not going to even browse, much less plan to answer questions on Stack Exchange sites if this requires broadcasting privacy-sensitive personal information to them such as an IP address. (I'm ofc. OK with answering from my household or job IP address as a basic matter of accountability and anti-abuse, but surely not with browsing from there!) It's fine for Stack Exchange to want to manage Tor Browser use of their network, but then they should at least publish an .onion alternative in the HTTP response headers, so that Tor Browser users have a tolerable alternative to hitting their clearnet sites.
> To ask my clients to "just boot up a jekyll instance and commit your content to GitHub" is the most wildly hilarious thing to expect of an editorially focused non-technical set of individuals.

Perhaps a missing piece of software is a WYSIWYG interface front-end that hides MD, GitHub, Jekyll and other back-end technologies from the user, but still uses plain text in the back end.

There is nothing more durable than plain text, it might be the only thing that you can still read in 50 years.
> I'm not sure that the top 10% in any language (by whatever metric you choose to measure overall quality) are going to be significant more or less smart and capable than in any other language.

Eh, I'm fairly sure the top 10% of people who liked the bad old PHP were still fairly moronic. (Facebook gave PHP a nice revamp, so it's a much nicer language these days.)

For another example, have a look at newLISP. Especially http://www.newlisp.org/MemoryManagement.html

However, I agree with your point on average in general for most languages.
Youre right about the difficulty of the task, but should we even be considering 3 degrees of warming as acceptable? That’s a nightmare scenario for most of the global south

5 degrees is a nightmare scenario for the whole world. Albeit I think it’s far more likely if we have to finally admit we’re on the pathway to 3 degrees, many countries might independently deploy solar geoengineering projects to save their skin (especially island nations)

I don't really consider ExpressJs as framework, but if it is, then it's the most suitable one for me.

It's very simple to setup, easy to extend and letting you to setup the structure whatever you want.

If only it's updated to use async await, better error handling and have modules to perform ssr for react (and vue), it'll be much better.

I completely agree, find your purpose outside of work. This can take many forms from spiritual to practical but I firmly believe you need to find a reason for existing outside of your job.
Unfortunately, people "need" a lot of drugs, cigarettes, booze, mindless and/or harmful distractions and entertainment etc. A small fraction of our economy is serving people's real needs, while the rest is serving wants, which are quite often not good for the people who want them.
I always heard a mixture of wine and soda pop called a "wine cooler", a use that would have gone back several decades, but Wikipedia seems to think that specifically means a mix of fruit juice and wine. There is some discussion in the talk page about this discrepancy. I guess maybe the term was a regional thing.

Note that rust doesn't claim to catch all errors, and the article points out places where it doesn't. In rust it is a lot harder to get into those situations accidentally, but you can.
Isn't a solar minimum just an 11-year cycle, while climate change is more about the long term implications of natural and human-caused impacts? I don't think that's the same as a little ice age.

On Chrome on Android (whatever is latest on the Play store) in portrait mode, the bottom letters are off the bottom of the screen. If I rotate everything is small but I can see it.
> They've clearly said many times "this year have helped developers earn x billions through the appstore". Then it's easy to calculate their cut. But making money is not illegal.

No... it's easy to calculate their revenue, but it's not easy to calculate how much profit they made versus how much it cost them to operate the App Store. Pure revenue is largely irrelevant, from what I understand. As you say, making money isn't illegal, it's just the sign of a successful business.

> The app store is only a monopoly on iOS, not on phones or computers in general. I think it will be very hard to make that case.

I completely agree, under the way the laws were written decades ago. A lot of powerful people have been moving to update the way monopolies are understood for the digital era, and to remove Apple's monopoly over iOS. In the US, I can point to various examples of this, but these two will do for the current discussion:

https://9to5mac.com/2020/10/06/app-store-gives-apple-monopol...

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/03/senate-committee-advances-op...

Whether these attempts succeed or not is difficult to say, given how strongly Apple lobbies on their own behalf.

Knowing exactly what the P&L look like for the App Store would make it easier for Apple's opponents to make the case that Apple is misusing their position to take advantage of large numbers of people and businesses within the US due to a lack of competition for iOS users, which might make their government representatives push harder on the issue.

That's the political reality as I see it in the US. I could be off base, but there has been lots of discussion about Apple and their App Store again lately.

it's not like it's a free speech issue

Why is it unrelated to free speech? It seems like it would be a free speech issue if pre-accident images weren't allowed to be published, e.g., in a news article about the accident. I don't see a material difference that would take accident photos out of the domain of free speech.

For my part, as a parent, I would never want to look at such photos. I would however be alright with their use, for example in safe driving campaigns in drivers ed courses. I believe some driving courses (specifically against drunk driving) have done exactly that. I'm sure other families would feel differently, but I don't think there's a prima facie case to be made that no family ever would be okay with this and that it would always increase the emotional toll, or never have any benefit.

I certainly don't like them being published merely to satisfy the morbid curiosity of random internet folks, but I also don't see how you ban that without potentially running afoul of (US) free speech rights that have strict limits on speech restraints. Obscenity is one of those limits, but the law has continually struggle to find a bright line rule by which to measure such things. At a minimum, that lack of clarity still places this sort of image within the domain of free speech issues.
...and in Firefox on the same Android device everything works fine.
We use https://www.quaderno.io/ together with Stripe to calculate and collect the necessary VAT data (in our case for EU customers). Our accountant downloads a report, has to reformat it a bit, and submits that to our (German) tax website. The tax website is alright but I'm glad I don't have to deal with it myself.

Effectiveness at work from what I have observed is mostly about pragmatism and willpower to do what needs to be done in that context. You need some baseline amount of mental horsepower but in most pursuits it's not that high.

Really smart people can be some combination of idealistic, lazy or simply in a context that diminishes their willpower. Therefore their smarts don't really "manifest" in that particular context. I've worked with lots of people who I thought were bozos because they sucked at their programming job but they were clearly smart about other things.
> I’ll take a well maintained and well documented Java codebase

I get your point but at some point the boilerplate becomes depression inducing for me, I can't see myself being motivated to work on a Java codebase, the language and the patterns that arise from it just get in the way of solving the problem too much. It's like having to do a relatively easy job but only being allowed to use one hand, it becomes frustrating that you can't use both hands when you see it would take 1/2 effort and then I become even less motivated to work and it's a bad spiral :)
