> The _fight scenes_ were horrible? In what way? Even just the first fight scene with the shields was cool and well done.

The fight scenes are people slapping each other really fast. There's no weight to it.

> And the plot was boring? I don't even know what to say, that story is very well loved and the movie didn't change too much.

A more significant consideration than what happens is how it is relayed to the audience. The way the story in Dune unfolds is linear and boring. It is chracters in rooms having conversations to fill the audience in before the real plot starts. It's not exciting or interesting and few risks are taken.

One of the cool ideas in Dune is that there are no computers so people take a psychedelic drug to pilot spaceships. Maybe this is explained in some boring monologue or text flash but there's no reason it couldn't be shown and it certainly isn't.

It doesn't help that Timothy Chalamet and Zendaya are awful. The only notably good performance is Rebecca Ferguson (Jessica).
I think this is a nit - most modern compiled languages do this but at the compiler level.
Denis Villeneuve actually has a fairly distinctive style when it comes to having slightly glowing objects floating very slowly through the frame, so yes I do remember the spaceships.

Honestly the first thing I thought when the throat-singing started was why the fuck does anyone watch star wars (Not that the originals are bad, but the universe has no depth). Dune isn't perfect, but it's just so much more intriguing and obviously from a smarter author than it's competitors in the space opera genre.
Those projects are funded by engineers from Netflix and Netapp who do make plenty of money off that software.

Nobody does the same with Firefox. Really the only prominent external contributor (that I know of at least) is Martin Stransky of Red Hat who does a lot of the Linux maintainence.
Okay, and the sensory deprivation helps you sleep? I suppose that's generally what we're headed for. Turn off the lights. Set the temp to a certain level.

The hard ground isn't giving either, but you feel it. ;)

I also can't deal with pillows when I have a migraine. Though I can't sleep without something under my head. I usually just roll up a towel or something. As I said before, I think it's about having precise control over body position.
OpenSSL begs to differ.
Did you really do this? I think this was the plot of a Simpsons episode.

Oh wow, that's a wonderfully obscure soc. That's not great for software development though.

I moved to Vegas from California, and on my California number never received any Nevada area robocallers. When I see that it is a Nevada number, I just answer.

I recently switched from using regular AT&T cell plan to a VoIP provider and a T-Mobile hotspot. After transferring my number to the VoIP provider, I've gone from 5-10 robocalls per day to one every few days to a week. Haven't received an SMS spam message.
Likewise, I don't firmly understand the technology behind this, or its privacy implications, and almost the entirety of this thread is just generic anti-ad sentiments, with some arguments about billboards, Mozilla's CEO compensation, ads being psychologically invasive, and people hoping we can bring the 2003-2004 web back (have they forgotten what Month is it? "the Web" didn't change, the audience did.)

There are some solid comments here. I just wish people (who talk about advertisement ruining the web's signal-to-noise ratio) would recognize the importance of minimizing chronically-rehashed arguments and talk more coldly about techs and implications.

I really empathize with any Mozilla employee browsing this; I criticize the Mozz every now and then, but this seems like a well-meaning proposal, that's beneficial for the web (my opinion, obviously people can argue otherwise) and advances Mozilla's mission, and they're getting shredded.
> Dismissals are always a signal of ignorance.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes! (As you dismiss all dismissals).

Literary criticism has reached increasing levels of "sophistication" where frankly a big fraction of it deserves to be dismissed.

Conversely, people who dismiss looking for literary intentions, possible alternative interpretations on other axes of thought, and reasons that the structure works are foolish as well.

I think where one goes awry and too far is when one insists that a specific interpretation is particularly valid without any real evidence of authorial intent or that other readings don't make sense. The lit crit world is buried in these insistences.
@spywaregorilla 'Heterosexuals were also far more likely to be diagnosed late, meaning damage to the immune system has already begun. More than half (51%) of women, 55% of heterosexual men and 66% of those aged 65 and over diagnosed with HIV in 2020 were diagnosed at a late stage. This compares to just 29% of gay and bisexual men. This is likely driven by a belief that they are not at risk of HIV, which is often reinforced by healthcare professionals.'

seems a possibility
Another recommendation is cellular automata, perhaps combined with some evolutionary algorithms (like genetic algorithms, genetic programming, etc)...

You can use a functional language to program them, or any other kind of language of your own choosing.

You could write your own from scratch or using any one of many libraries to do some of the heavy lifting for you and concentrate on higher level problems.

There's a lot of literature and research on all this, so it's not at all hard to get started if you're in to programming already.

There is a bug that prevents wine from global installing apps for all users instead of current per user setup.

I've wanted to install a software as a global thing because then I do not have to use windows rdowrap to get rdp on consumer w10 ltsc or even a windows VM.

They can really improve work if this bug and maybe related ones are fixed
Yup, someone already made a PR for to add these! It turns out the behavior is pretty subtle in terms of how it handles count arguments (it's actually stateful!), and where the focus moves. I'll take some time to figure out how to exactly match the vim/less behavior, but that should be coming soon!

I'm more of a ctrl-e/ctrl-y guy myself, so I didn't feel a need to implement these commands right away.
Agree heterosexuals don’t get tested as often for STIs (humans are terrible at quantifying risk). Really needs to be a part of an annual metabolic panel you’d have performed alongside a physical. You’re already doing the blood draw, just order the tests and grab an additional vial. If you’re sexually active with multiple partners, quarterly, regardless of orientation/preferences.
I left a decade ago and came back using doom and have gained a new respect for both emacs and lisp.

Having such a configurable tool is an invitation to the subtle with an attention to detail.

Free Software is so far away from the mainstream consumer culture and it provides an immeasurable value to those who invest.
Camera is just fine IF you can produce depth data out of it (/1). Evidently Tesla cant.

/1 You might want to go for Stereo setup to be on a safe side, but on the pillars not 2cm apart. Tesla didnt even opt for that. First version using Mobileye had something hilariously bad like single 30fps 640x480 monochrome/red(limited ability to recognize red/green lights) front facing camera.

If you compress a gas, even an ideal frictionless gas, its temperature rises. Like I said, that's how refrigerators work. As for compression in flight, that's how pitot tubes measure airspeed. It has nothing to do with friction.

On a wing, the temperature rise is highest at the static point on the leading edge, where there is no motion of the air. The temperature declines from there back as the airflow speeds up. If friction was the source of the heat, you'd expect the temperature to be the lowest at the static point, and would increase towards the trailing edge.

BTW, how a diesel engine works is by compressing the air/fuel mixture until it heats up enough to ignite. A gas engine will sometimes "diesel" on after the ignition is turned off.

Strange wording.
Survivorship bias is when excessively high-risk behaviors are made to look good by only showing the winners. I think what you're referring to is evolution.
I do like the show, for the most part, but I’m really bothered by the color palette, which isn’t something if often pay much attention too. It’s just so desaturated and drab. Maybe they’re trying to go for some alien atmospherics vibe or something, idk.
Hmm. It seems they don't have a TRS-80 emulator. They have a number of other systems though. Maybe there are legal issues.

You're missing some details.

1) They did go without Google for a couple of years. They had a partnership with Bing, and Yahoo for quite a while. But Bing and Yahoo remain rounding errors in the search market.

2) 2007 was before Google started dominating with Chrome - before Android even. 2007 was near peak Mozilla. To some degree, fighting Google probably contributed to their decline.

It really cruxes on their being a story to tell.

It's like people asking if they're going to do another film with K? (Which I think is symptom of cinema being saturated with feel good movies where there is no conflict or sacrifice, possibly in funny costumes...). He's utterly finished at the end of 2049, there isn't any more to say.

I don't know what it would look like but I think a relatively obvious road to go down would probably the ethics of general AI in computers. If you do have your own Joi, is she a slave? Does she "is", at all?

I really hope they land it if it gets made, although at worst it'll probably be a really pretty if confusing mess, which is better than most TV shows.

To anyone bored with vanilla Factorio, I'd strongly recommend trying out some of its hundreds of mods.

As much as I love vanilla Factorio, mods make it 10x better for me, and solve all sorts of little complaints and annoyances in the vanilla game.

If there's something in the vanilla game you don't like or want to improve, odds are there's already a mod that fixes it for you.
I grew up in California (LA) and lived in SF for almost 20 years. Racism isn’t exclusive to the Midwest or South. There’s plenty of racism and other bigotry in California, even in the supposedly progressive areas.

Management sets the tone and allows bad behavior. I don’t know if the Tesla allegations are true or not, but I’m not surprised given what I’ve read about the company.

Right.

For PrEP they require a blood draw anyways to check creatinine levels since it can indicate side effects involving the kidneys, so you may as well draw blood for everything else too.

There's always a winner in hindsight. Explaining why the winner won is easy, but predicting who will win is hard.
I cannot imagine how projects with hundreds to thousands of dependencies get supported long-term.

I think the answer for things built on npm is that it's someone else's problem and the projects tend to have short lives unless they are super successful to afford constant churn maintenance.

There's parables here to fast fashion and all the other crappily made stuff that sells well but end in landfill way before it should, destroying our planet quicker.
I enjoyed his recent movie "The Last Duel". I thought it was unbelievable, but after reading the book it is historically accurate. The fight scene is blow-by-blow what actually happened. Sooo much better than those silly superhero movies.

I'll definitely see more Scott movies!

I'm skeptical that Excel does this without prompting. Microsoft takes these kinds of vulnerabilities—opening a data file causing ACE—seriously. Do you have more information?
Slightly misleading implication in the headline.

Heterosexuals did not "overtake" gay men (HIV diagnoses amongst heterosexuals dropped too), so much as gay men have been so effective at reducing transmission over the last 5 years that they've "fallen behind".

Similar, Perform music is too. And learn about accounting. Or law.

But IS still "aside". Sometimes, here in THIS function, I need to apply to algebra. But that is not the majority of the tasks, neither, learn algebra help me much about the whole endeavor (maybe only if I'm building an algebra library).

What are some interesting use cases of cryptocurrencies and NFTs?
I am sort of out of the loop on cryptocurrencies and related technology.

There seems to be a lot of fluff and marketing hype in the space and much of it is centered on making money. Conversely there are a lot of people who are writing if off due to the scams and bubbles in the space.

I am interested actual use cases for cryptocurrency based technology where it adds real value. I am aware of some for eg. censorship resistance, hyper inflation due to increasing money supply etc.

Appreciate any input. Thanks.
It's okay. The difficulty ramp-up is really steep to the point where once you finish the easier difficulties it just gets way too hard. Maybe if you play with friends it would be different, but I was mostly solo queueing.

That being said... it was a lot of fun until I got frustrated with it! It's on the PC game pass.

As a fresh graduate I can really relate with this article. The number of recruiters that reached out to me since I started applying two months ago is insane, some of them just want a Microsoft Word version of my resume, some straight up asked me to add fake projects and internships on my resume.

That's without bringing the number of recruiters that wants you to pay them a weekly fee and "guarantee" you a job in X number of weeks.

I'll end with one funny recruiter that reached out two weeks ago from a similar recruiting firm. I made it clear from the beginning that I will NEVER lie on my resume neither allow them to edit my resume. He offers me this job that he found for me. I started asking about the compensation and he says 18$/hour, I laughed and said that this rate won't work for me especially in the Bay Area. He said he'll circle back with his manager and try to get me 65K/year like I asked which I believe is fair for someone fresh off school like me, I am not chasing after a FAANG salary especially being a recent grad. Anyways long story short, he calls me back and offers me $20/hour without any benefits this time. I just humbly declined and politely asked him to not reach me again.

The market seems to be hot for Senior developers, which leaves recent grads struggling to find jobs especially in a remote setting. I'm grateful that I am like OP where I can fall back on my parents and keep looking for a job neither do I need sponsorship.
> Anal intercourse was higher among women (37.3%) than men (4.5%), P<0.001

This suggests that this isn’t just a problem for the gay community. Especially when paired with:

> Anal intercourse is a common practice among both heterosexual and homosexual couples where at least one of the partners is male.
> Einstein did not have the mathematical prowess and skill, to come up with those sudden breakthroughs...

It sure sounds like you're "diminishing the stature of Einstein" (which is not to say you're wrong)
Well, I agree completely with everything you say in this comment.

Skimming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_theory_of_value#Karl_Mar... and https://davidharvey.org/2018/03/marxs-refusal-of-the-labour-... and such trying to make sense of the "Labor Theory of Value" and Marx, it seems clear that Marx never even supported the idea let alone had it as a foundational principle. But I find trudging through what Marx actually said or wrote not enjoyable or worthwhile generally.

In the end, it doesn't matter what Marx said or not, what matters is whether specific ideas have merit. I'm pretty sure I would not agree with everything Marx did actually say. The point is that it is completely irrelevant who said something, which is why the trend to label the source as a way to dismiss things is such a problem intellectually.

I haven't heard anything from Varoufakis that seems like BS along the lines of Labor Theory of Value. Everything I've heard from him is pretty solid. But that doesn't mean I stand by anything you ever get from him. IMO, it's useful to have good sources, but not so useful to make a big deal over aligning with any particular dogmatic school of thought. Making up one's mind to be a somethingist is a way to get away from curiosity and feel like you just already understand everything. The utility in such labels is just to help communicate in cases where shared label understanding actually exists.
That's not the right move. The right move would be a sandbox around every word/excel file being viewed/opened. Ideally, backed by a kernel mechanics such as CreateRestrictedToken WinAPI.

What they are doing instead, shifting responsibility to end users. Specifically, they're simply training users to click on "I agree" buttons.
My own conclusion for the security of a small business was to set up a honeypot - a virus needs to search for vulnerabilities to transmit itself, and that search can be detected. Any virus that doesn’t search for vulnerabilities is much more benign.
CorpIT was one of a handful of reasons why I left Alphabet. Maybe it's all rainbows and unicorns if you're a software engineer and you do all your work on a Chromebook. As a hardware engineer it was pretty miserable. You end up with 4-5 computers, only the most-recently-used of which works. Every time you need to switch you end up re-imaging. All infosec policies are designed with no regard for non-SWE use-cases. Want to move files to or from test equipment via flash drive? Infosec policy violation. Want to use Drive to move things to your untrusted machine instead? Sorry, you can't log in to your corp gAccount from a non-corp computer. Want to have two NICs so you can use one to talk to Ethernet-connected hardware directly? Explicitly an anti-supported use case and your machine will often fail to boot, can't be remotely boot-unlocked, and will frequently drop certs.

As far as I could tell it was a huge group of bored people chasing Impact and not solving real problems or even bothering to read tickets. Most of those problems were the product of previous generations of Impact-chasers.
If you’ve got curved edges that matter (my iPhone13 doesn’t, but my PinePhone does), it might be worth trying to get a good end-on cross section photo, and importing that into a 2D drawing tool you can use to create that shape in a format your 3D modelling tool can extrude. Looking at my PinePhone, and thinking in OpenSCAD terms, I’d probably model the phone as an intersection of two extruded objects one from the end and one from the side, where the 2D shapes I’m extruding would be as close as I could get to end and side profiles, then use rotate-extrude to make the rounded corners (these look “circular enough” for that, if they were more elliptical, it resize the circular extrusions to suit).

That’d work pretty well for phones (like the PinePhone) that are basically “rectangular prism slabs with uniformly rounded edges and corners”. It’d be much harder to model this Samsung S4 I have here, with its curved ends and it’s compound curved back…
It's very good, but I've found it to struggle somewhat on large and complex codebases. I have been meaning to try lsp-mode instead, but have yet to get around to it since tide-mode is mostly good enough; since they both use tsserver as a backend, I expect the user experience is probably much the same.

As an aside, I don't recommend following the article author in disabling Eldoc integration. Enabled, that will give you types for the thing at point in the message area, which is often quite useful and especially so with unfamiliar codebases.

I think he's getting more irritable as he gets older (and I think he still has a chip on his shoulder for being criticised for being too visual - should a bird not sing?), but wasn't The Last Duel supposed to have been good?

As for irritable: Some of these press outbursts are definitely directors trying to whip up some press for their movies, but he got in some hot water for saying

“The best films are driven by the characters,” he said, “and we’ll come to superheroes after this if you want, because I’ll crush it. I’ll f*ing crush it. They’re f*ing boring as s*."
and
"Their scripts are not any fucking good"

Is he wrong? They're mostly not bad* now (marvel ones at least), but they're utterly sedated and breeding a new generation of media-consumers who've literally never seen a "good" movie (By which I mean something driven by a director rather than a producer)
But have you read the original novella? I enjoyed both films, but "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" has much more depth to its questions about humanity than either of them. It also illustrates Deckard's disfunctional nature better.
