Seems like it could be ported to orc to hide platform dependence, but it does not yet(?) emit AVX code: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/orc/

Yeah, AVX512 does not necessarily give faster code. Have seen interesting benchmark results running the tests of https://github.com/gnuradio/volk
With modern big SSD endurance is no longer the issue. You would need to write at max speed for many month before hitting the limit. I had a laptop with 512GB SSD that I used heavily for 3 years for development work and then for 2 years as a backup machine with light usage. Its write counter reports only 7% of the max usage. So on a new laptop with 2TB SSD after benchmarking things I just disabled zram/zswap. But then again, it was critical to enable hardware encryption on SSD rather than using LUKS on Linux. The latter is so slow [1] that zram is really a must.

Mid-tier genre mags still pay. The pay may suck, but they do pay. Even some fairly low-tier ones pay.

Mid-tier literary journals generally don't, and their editors often act insulted if the topic is raised, so the issue doesn't seem to just be that they can't afford to pay. There's seemingly an expectation that until you've already "made it" you should be working for free.

> Again, what you consider "Judeo-Christian" was there before Christianity. Look no further than ancient Greece. Christianity was very successful in hijacking existing ideas and customs (Christmas, Easter) to be more easily adopted, and now claims to be the origin and cause of all (the good) that comes with it - which is the topic in this thread.

I think you're deeply mistaken on many counts. First of all, Christianity didn't "hijack" Christmas or Easter--those were patently Christian concepts; however, the medieval Church did dress up those concepts with superficial pagan trappings. That said, if you reduce Christianity to its holidays, then of course you would look at modern Western Civilization and feel that Christianity's effect was superficial. You have to have a modicum of understanding of Christian theology and ethics to see how those have influenced western civ.

> What part? You think Atheists cannot see that religion exists and that people derive their 'morals' from that?

I mean that I don't think "modern Western morals were significantly derived from Judeo-Christian values" is particularly controversial among Atheists.

> Dogmatic faith? That's absurd, and sounds again like Christianity imposing their worldview onto others when faced with different worldviews.

It's really not, you're just conflating "faith" with "religious faith". Atheists have faith in lots of things from various political ideals to the belief that God doesn't exist, and with respect to zeal the faith of Atheists can absolutely rival that of anyone else. Indeed, even your apparent belief that religious minds are feebler than those of Atheists is an article of faith. At the end of the day, people are just people and "religious" vs "atheists" isn't a useful taxonomy for virtually anything.
Thank you for the thoughtful reply. That is a rational argument for how inflation would impact subscriptions, even when the price of the subscription does not increase. Though, wouldn't the effects of inflation be seen as being less spike-y? The highlight of this article was that visitations to the cancellation page spiked hundreds of percent week-over-week, however, inflation while crushing, hasn't spiked to such a degree over this same period. Would it then be reasonable to infer that these visitations to the cancellation page are not (primarily) driven by inflation?
If other people are in the home with you, you can easily look like you don’t even have a job.
But the concept of a factory is independent from whether you name it. In Java you can write a factory like this:

() -> new Thing(foo, bar);

Behind the scenes it's a class, but you don't write it as such and you don't name it. Nonetheless, it's still a factory.
Even if both good and bad guys would have access to quantum computers there would still be an asymmetry: The good guys would still need to find and patch everything all the time without fail. The bad guys would just need their quantum computer to find a single flaw that had not been found and/or patched by the good guys yet.

Sure. Maybe your time would be better spent working overtime too. Factorio is a game, and focus on the fun parts. Battling NPM dependencies after a full work day is not fun, it's just more work. There are some days when you are just cranking out code and not worrying about much else, but those days are not necessarily the norm.

I think the author fails to adequately discuss the impact of climate change on the economy. We know from modern history that recessions lead to political change. It's not implausible that an agrarian economy like that of Rome would be greatly impacted by climate change reducing crop yields, causing political upheaval. Those actors in the political system didn't just decide one day to depart from 200 years of stability to overthrow the government, there had to be some motivating factor.
> "It's very hard to convince somebody of a thing when financial gains depend on them believing in it," says tech luminary @TimOReilly...

Tim is paraphrasing a famous quote by Upton Sinclair:

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

This quote was also widely thrown around during the financial crisis in '08. But look at home prices now compared to the peak of the "bubble" then. No one knows what the future will bring.
In addition to the fact that there's almost nothing you could do to Earth that would make it less liveable than Mars, any political problem that plagues the Earth is going to plague Mars just as easily. Earth didn't create human political problems, humans did. The only way to keep political problems from plaguing Mars would be to keep humans off of it.

I am very happy where I am. Within myself, I am not blaming anything for lack of anything but rather celebrate my successes and what has come from my hard work.

This is hilarious because I recently had a junior dev come to me to discuss issues they were having with their (incompetent) software manager.

She said "I don't understand why he doesn't understand the technical aspects. It must be me...I must be bad at communicating because [the manager] was a CTO at a startup!"

I literally laughed out loud. Her communication skills were fantastic, but she was so new and naive to think that titles from a startup have literally any worth.
No, but I think it informed me in text that I had to be above a certain age?
Yup, quite possible that this has something to do with it. There is other work showing that giving LMs a "scratchpad" for intermediate computations allows them to do much better not just at arithmetic but also things like predicting the output of some code: https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.00114

I actually think the resource depletion mechanics are the one thing missing from Satisfactory. Constantly adjusting to keep the raw materials flowing in is one of the things that keeps Factorio from getting stale for me.
Good to know, I appreciate the context. That said, I don't remember seeing MSM articles in the top 10 all that often in the past, whereas now it seems like a daily occurrence. Perhaps the downweighting needs to be increased?

Does MySQL run into these types of issues? ... I've yet to run into this, but I believe MySQL supports query hints as well.
It never escapes, it just runs around the field for a while.

During the dot com bubble a very large number of retail investors (and hedge/mutual funds) were racking up huge gains during the run up due to margin leverage and got wiped out on the way down. During the housing bubble lots of people had 2nd and 3rd mortgages and sucked all of the equity out (or worse, kept trading up to more expensive properties to the point where they had no equity when the market crashed) of their homes and were underwater to the point where it made sense for them to walk away from the property and hurt their credit scores for a period of time.

So while they may not lose absolutely everything, they'll likely lose all of their gains and much of what they started with when the music stops.

I think all of this is premature. Focusing on life extension technology and life science would see a lot of other technological benefit, and in the worst case just mean we can wait it out.
Personally, I could care less about the cost (but it does bother me). IO should have mentioned above that in nearly all cases, urgent care is more appropriate (my provider has one open during daytime hours).
> you want to be able to double production of high volume products with a couple copy-pastes.

In my experience, no.

Any high-volume production needs to be built from the ground up from smelters (or even miners) on downwards.

If you have 1-belts of iron feeding your factory and then want to expand, the easiest way to do so is to build a parallel +1 belt of iron (including the 70+ smelters and 50+ miners somewhere else) somewhere.

The terrain and issues of that other area (ie: water, cliffs, trees, etc. etc.) will be different. You can only legitimately "copy/paste" designs if you have an advanced set of terrain modifiers: landfill to erase water, cliff-explosives to erase cliffs, and flamethrowers to erase trees. (Chopping by hand takes too long. Even bots take too long in many situations to erase trees, especially at low-bot speed levels).

-----------------

If you try to "logically" add it to your factory (originally designed for only 1-belt), you end up with non-obvious starvation points everywhere.

Its far easier to declare the entire "logical belt" region to be a cohesive design (from mines to smelter to assembly machines to science to labs: beginning to end of the entire process).

There's an additional bonus to this: belting the "end-product sciences" is very easy and low-throughput. Instead of "moving your factory" around, it makes far more sense to "move your science belts" around.

-------

Its very hard to turn a "1-belt of iron + 1-belt of copper" factory into a "2-belt of iron + 2-belt of copper". Very very difficult, you really shouldn't be trying to find space for the extra belt or smelters.

Just "soft abandon" the base, and build your 2nd belt of iron + 2nd belt of copper elsewhere. Then build 2-belts of your red+green+blue+purple science (or whatever outputs your old base were doing) to lead to the new science center. "Abandon" the old science center as well (since the "old science" center won't have the extra science to advance forward).

"Abandoning" the science center means that all that space opens up for you to move your science-belts to the necessary location towards the new science center. Maybe you need to plow through some old areas but it'd be easier to do this from an "abandonment" mindset rather than a "cleanup" mindset.

---------

The only way you "cleanly" have room for that 2nd line of copper or iron, is if you magically remembered to leave room for the 70-smelters before you built the base. This is unreasonable.

EDIT: I guess you use yellow/red belts in the early game. 24-smelters per yellow belt of production. 48-smelters per red belt of production. 72-smelters per blue belt of production.

How do you grow 24-furnaces into 48? Doubling the size if you upgrade from yellow to red? (Or upgrading from 1x yellow to 2x yellow?). Its non-trivial to run that many lines through the middle of already-built factory areas.

And unless you planned for it, 24-additional furnaces is a non-trivial amount of space.
Satisfactory is in my top 3 of all time, just ahead of Factorio. 2200 hours vs 1600 in the latter. I like it for the 3D exploration and hand crafted map. I love that (if you don’t cheat yourself out of it by abusing ramps) you can spend hours on expeditions through treacherous terrain to get to the next resource.

However my gripes are the same as yours. Placement is an unwanted meta-game that they ought to remove via better QoL features. The existing alignment, snapping, picking, and repeating features are inadequate for a game like this.

Hm, how easy is it to get an address from a cell phone number these days? Maybe Apple could only include the Apple ID?

My goal would be to provide enough information so that, if the AirTag's owner is someone the victim knows, they'll be able to determine who it is. Apple needn't provide enough information to identify random strangers, because most stalkers aren't random strangers. (And, the AirTag is appealing due to its ease of use; it would be easier and cheaper to buy a GPS tracker than set up a burner iPhone.)

It may not be possible to do this in a completely harmless way to the AirTag owner, but I do think potential victims should get more priority here. Telling everyone to file a police report isn't great IMO, because potential victims may have all sorts of reasons for not wanting the police involved.
> Can you give examples of these "ridiculous" covid measures?

Canada has the strictest and most absurd covid policies regarding air traveling in the whole G20. Everyone else has relaxed the measures in 2022, but us.

You must take and provide a negative PCR test at your arrival in Canada, even if you are double/triple vaccinated (with proof from vaccine passport). Other results than PCR are invalid and it must be less than 72 hours. You must also register this information in ArriveCAN system (https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/cor...) 72 hours prior to arrival or otherwise prone to penalty up to $75k or 14 days quarantine.

On top of that, you can be randomly selected for an additional PCR test at your arrival, which you must then quarantine yourself and wait for the results, which in some cases have been reported to take up to 6-10 days.

> I used one when shipping an important, time sensitive and expensive item to a client. It was a huge value compared to the usual tracking of packages.

Imagine this included as part of shipping. Vendor puts an airtag (or equivalent commercial item) and once you receive, you "turn off" this tracking device (with a code or NFC) confirming receipt of the package, either disabling the device or enabling it for another (return?) shipping request.

Ideally, eventually legislation will exist to constrain the capabilities of such trackers. With the current state of Congress I'm not sure this will happen at a federal level in the US.

> This problem isn’t about map().

Yes, it is.

Its about .map(), and the broader design of the API around it. Yes, map passes extra args and parseInt takes optional args, and it wouldn’t be a problem if both of those weren’t true. It would be better if .map() was one-arg and had friends .map_with_index(), .map_with_collection(), map_with_index_and_collection().

(It would be better if .map() wasn’t an Array-specific method but part of a general collection protocol that returned [and was applicable to] generators instead of returning Arrays, and then you also had companion methods to like .enumerate(), but that’s…well, farther afield.)

> The normal solution is to write an inline function

Yes, that’s the solution, but that doesn’t say that the design of .map() isn’t a critical component of there being something to solve in the first place.
Ugh, I encountered this a few times early in my career (early 2000s.) The worst case was a team from a large, expensive, high-end consulting company. There was one A player who was fast and sharp and absolutely invaluable, two developers who were slow but diligent, one guy who everybody avoided because he was pissed off that he wasn't as smart as the A player, and one engineer who spent all day in front of an IDE but never checked in any code. Once, as a prank, a couple of my coworkers sent me over to "help" this last person (to be clear, the prank was on both me and the person I was sent to help.) They were staring at code that was just syntactically wrong, and not in a subtle way. It was a Java source file, and the line that they were working on, which I think was the only line they had changed, did not look like Java. They couldn't see what was wrong with it, and honestly neither could I, in the sense that I could only see that it didn't look like Java. This person had been "working" on the project for several weeks, and from that point on, I felt intensely sorry them, because they came to work every day for eight hours, and sat in a chair looking at an IDE, going to meetings, staying late if the A player stayed late, etc., nobody ever talking to them, and I can't imagine what kind of bizarre hell that was for them. I didn't feel comfortable talking to them about it because there was an age and culture and language gap, so I'll never know. When the consulting' contract was up, we renewed, but that person was replaced with another slow but diligent worker, and I never saw them again.
