The Japanese surrender terms were flatly unacceptable: retention of the Imperial gov't, no foreign occupation of Japan, Japan surrenders occupied territories and returns to pre-war borders, Japan handles their own disarmament and prosecution of Japanese war criminals. The surrender they were attempting to obtain was basically a rollback to the status quo of 1935.

As early as mid-1944, the cabinet accepted that the war was unwinnable for them, and their strategy shifted to intransigent defence in the hope that by the time the U.S. cleared all the islands and showed up at the Home Islands, they'd be too exhausted to invade and would accept the above terms. At no time did they offer any terms of surrender less than the above, including after the dropping of the atomic bombs (according to the diary of the foreign minister Tojo). Indeed, after dropping both atomic bombs, half the cabinet still refused to surrender.

I think the phrase "vaccine effectiveness" is almost meaningless now because there is not just one kind of vaccine with just one set of properties.

You can't even say simply that one vaccine is better or worse or than another because now you have to say better or worse at what exactly.

Regarding skills not being transferable. This is only somewhat true and the author is doing some goal post shifting here. What he said really only applies to game engines, not game frameworks and certainly not game programming in general. If you want to learn game programming and not a game engine, I recommend using something like Pygame or LOVE2D which are less prescriptive game frameworks as opposed to engines.

However, even with game engines, I have spoken with AAA developers who have worked with both Unity and Unreal and they all say the same thing. Game engines are a lot like programming languages in the sense that once you learn truly learn how one works, picking up a new one isn't that difficult.
They should tighten rather than deregulate. Tightening would result in lower prices as well.

If a 20yr mortgage suddenly became the only option, prices would decline in a big way. Of course, things might go the other way with 40yr mortgages etc

None of them say that the lockdown will be lifted once a vaccine is available.

They say that the lockdowns will remain in place until a vaccine is available.

Those are not the same thing.

Both of us seem pretty dug in: you that goalposts were set and then moved; me that there was always a wait-and-see attitude. I need to move on with my day so I’m going to bow out now.

One thing that can help is to step back and do some very very basic game programming from scratch first. Make a simple 2d game like pong first. This will give you some basic understanding of how to draw pixels on the screen, how to collect input, how to track game states and do a game loop. Once these basic ideas are better understood, you can hop into a game engine and have some context for what the heck is going on. It will make more sense.

Get familiar with the fundamentals before hopping into a huge game engine. Also avoid 3d for a while, the introduces so many complications and its hard enough just making a 2d game. A simpler game framework that unity can be used as well, like MonoGame, or Godot, or one of the Python game frameworks.
TerminusDB person here: we were using the API internally for our immutable collaboration database service [1] so we thought we'd make it available for others to use. We think it is better than the one derived from the RFC and built specifically for collaboration, but you can be the judge of that! In any case - choice is good, right?

Yes, ITER contributions make up 220 M USD of the 450 M USD that is the Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) budget under the DoE.

Most of that is paid in-kind, which means domestic manufacturing of components sent to ITER, so it's a bit like a stimulus. The US has also (famously) regularly failed to put in what they budget for, even in the past ten years having some years where they contribute less than half of what they agreed to.

It's both.

Last night I was improvising a melody based on a chord progression I had just come up with. I heard the chord progression in my head without thinking about what the chords were. But then when I thought about it, I knew what they were, tested on my instrument, and wrote them down.

Beginning to melodically improvise on the progression (with no backing) I was initially looking at my chart the whole time and thinking in theoretical terms. But, before long, I was having moments of losing track of where I was in the chart, but my mind's ear and my fingers still knew what to do to keep going within the harmony.

I.e., you reach a point where you have internalised the sound of the chord changes, and you can just hear the lines you want to play, and your fingers just know how to play the notes that you hear.

But to get to the point of being able to do that in a reasonably sophisticated way, one is mightily helped by thinking about things and practising things in a theory-informed way.
You need to have application-level checksums anyway, since pretty much every router or switch these days will recalculate checksums on all layers (they need to if routing the packet, and since pretty much all COTS chipsets can do L3, they do so all the time even if the switch's software won't let you configure it), so if a bit flips in any router's processing, your checksums won't detect it.
Oh my goodness this is the out loudest I have laughed at a tech thing in a long time. Cheers to you :)

When giving this type of explanation, we want to emphasize that the rules are arbitrary and made up because the dominant way of teaching music theory from the 1920s through to the last decade or two has been to claim it as scientifically or mathematically "optimal" in some way. It isn't.

Starting off an explanation of music theory by talking about whole number frequency ratios is like starting off English class with a diagram of the glottis.

Kinda like how we told Russia we wouldn't be expanding NATO eastward and after did that and pointed it out the response is akin to "neener neener did you get it in writing?"
Yup, same. Currently not looking, but after being placed with an incredibly rude interviewer in the past I will never pay them any attention
It's very antisocial to tell people they're using the wrong tools. In today's world, it's becoming no longer sustainable to respond to wasted resources by asking the world to purchase more resources (resulting in even more waste in the long term) to accommodate it. Conservation is becoming increasingly important.
> That is the the official year

"Official"? Official by whose definition?

Wikipedia (yeah, I know) says "... in the period from about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840", and "The precise start and end of the Industrial Revolution is still debated among historians, as is the pace of economic and social changes."

So where do you get this "official" year?

> the coincidence is too compelling.

Because Britain setting up trading ports in India was the only possibly relevant thing that happened in the previous N years? Did India teach Britain how to make steam engines? How to make factories? No and no.

> The French had a separate ministry for espionage.

How is this relevant to the conversation?

> Similar to renaissance, the sudden explosion of enlightenment or industrialisation did not happen, there was significant transfer of knowledge, materials and skills from very likely India.

There was a transfer of at least knowledge, but a lot of it came from the Arabs, by way of the Eastern Roman Empire. When Constantinople fell to the Arabs, a lot of that knowledge went west. Some of that knowledge may have originated in India, but it certainly wasn't direct.

You seem to be trying desperately to make the Industrial Revolution be all about India. You seem to be trying to squeeze actual history into your view, but it does not fit all that well.
The solution seems to be that if an offender is violent enough then they should not be offered bail, not that bail should be more expensive. The first option addresses violent crime, the second simply punishes poor people. I very much doubt someone that habitually performs violent crimes is going to think to themselves, no violence today, don't want to risk sacrificing my bail money that I may get back in a few months.
I've seen several people online talking about their grandiose plans for making a game better than Grand Theft Auto or something, and my advice to them is to sit down and read aloud the entire ending credits for Grand Theft Auto or whatever game they think they're going to do so much better. Then remember each of those names probably represents at least a year of their time.

Even "indie" games typically take a dedicated team of several people a few years.

If you want to do a game by yourself, you either need a ton of skills or you need to be brutal about cutting the features. For example, a single person can build an interesting ASCII roguelike today. But you're not going to get an AAA look, that's for sure.
I think one of the reasons ii V I is so compelling (versus IV V I) is that the ii (or ii7) is conflating many notes. In C major, using interval terms as a stand-in for "tuned justly":

Is the D a fourth below G or a minor (or harmonic) seventh below C? Once you've chosen your D, is A a perfect fifth above it? If so, what kind of major second relation does it now have to G?

Is the F a perfect fourth above C, or is it a major third above your D? Or is it supposed to be the minor (or harmonic) seventh above G?

I think barbershop tends to skirt these questions by instead using a II V I progression (a secondary dominant), since the F# doesn't have to stand in careful relation to other notes of the plain C major scale.

(That's interesting Schenkerian analysis can help understand these issues. I know only about it at a very thin surface level.)

Gladwell's and Toll's accounts of the firebombing of Tokyo don't differ in any radical way.

> Use ECS (Entity-Component-System), its awesome.

Seconded. Coding a roguelike in C and the amount of flexibility it gives even with no help from the language itself is crazy. It's really amazing how many concepts that were really hard to abstract become easy. Want a rock to move around and cast fireball? Give it the Actor and Spellcaster components. Do it dynamically at runtime. Now you can make a spell that makes rocks into wizards (.. if only, dynamic effects are more complicated than that, but it's a good showcase of the possibilities)
Here's a D program that only fails to compile if the last digit of the current number of seconds is 4:

enum timestamp = __TIMESTAMP__;

static if(timestamp[$-6..$-5] == "4") {
auto a = 7;
}
}
It's only refunded (minus fees) if you have thousands of dollars lying around. Poor people don't have that. They have to use a bail bond company, which means paying large sums of money they will never get back. Many poor people can't even afford to use a bail bond company and have to stay in jail, or plead guilty to a crime they didn't commit.

I want to make games, but even some years ago I realized it was not a great path for a multitude of reason (many of which are in this article).

My path, and what I recommend, is do something hard and important which pays the bills at a premium. I did infrastructure work, and I was lucky to have a great decade long career allowing me to "retire early".

Now, I can work on a game at my pace building the tools that I see fit. I'm focused on board games because they have a timeless quality about them. I'm developing an entire SaaS platform and programming language to make the network goo beyond easy. http://www.adama-lang.org/

As I'm getting close to some kind of launch for the SaaS, my next thing is to build up my own web based IDE with a release-often ideology such that I can build a Roblox for online 2D board games. Honestly, I'm having a blast because I'm not suffering tools which are going to fade.
We spoke with some lawyers while building our social investing app to gain a clearer understanding of this. Like Tim said, we're not lawyers, but the ones we spoke to said that this is a major gray area.

This doesn't seem to solve the issue at all.

I have an AirTag in my backpack, one in my jacket and another on my keys. This is just a QR code that someone can scan to send me a message that they found my item? I can already put something in my jacket and backpack. If I lose my keys, I can't get into my apartment, so an AirTag is ideal for that.
Games programming is rather difficult, yes. Especially 3D games. But also, it's easier than ever. I would have loved to make 3D games as a kid, but my lack of art skills made it impossible. Now with the Unity Asset Store, suddenly a simple programmer like myself can make some really good-looking 3D stuff.

I've been working on a Metroid Prime clone in my spare time just for fun in Unity. And yes, what the author says is true - it's really freaking hard to get all the details right. Even something like weapon bobbing when you move takes some thought. But it's really rewarding and fun, and I am basically making my dream game. I don't expect to ever release anything, but I'm enjoying the ride.

Also, anybody ever write DarkBASIC as a kid? This was the first programming language I ever learned, because I wanted to make games. It was a great intro to programming.

If variants are on the table, there's also IceCat and LibreWolf for the Firefox side.
Try blueprints. Not because they're easier, but because they expose the engine API and make it so much more discoverable. IMO its a much better way to learn the engine. When I write c++ for unreal or c# for unity, I find I'm much more likely to end up time trying to implement a concept that the engine already handles, in a far superior approach than what I'm doing.

Procedural animation isn't quite there yet, but control rig is slowly improving.
Plain SAH256? Come on, use a salt please!
Ah yes, the old semantics game :).
It's a clone of the popular wordle game where you have to guess a word, except here, you have to guess a password but instead of telling you which characters of the password are correct it tells you which characters of the corresponding SHA-256 hash are, which makes this pretty much impossible to solve as the whole point of a hash are that small changes in the input (such as a different character in the password) results in big changes in the hash.
Visible logos and unique designs are loud tribe identification tokens. Their absence has the same effect, just for different tribes.

The lack of an expensive logo adds a lot of value for those people.
> The amazing thing what I've found is practially no-one can actually put into words what they think it means.

Yes they have. The other poster used hundreds of words to explain it to you. You just dismiss any explanations, just as you dismiss any concrete examples of the destruction woke has caused to society. You ask for stuff, then people give it to you, then you close your eyes and ears and say you still haven't seen any of that stuff you asked for.
This is part of what I like about it. I work mainly with graphics and I use linear algebra, trigonometry, and the like on a daily basis. I need other types of math, mainly calculus, every other month or so.
The "losing large sums of money" was in reference to taking out a loan to pay the money, they are expensive. I feel like that was pretty clear in my comment.

"Shared language" in this context is your own phrasing. My examples refer to intelligibility.

That is your logic. A common language may not be sufficient to produce and hold a nation.

> Germanic tribes are ancestors to half the Europe.

The Cholas were in Tamil Nadu when Julius Caesar invaded Great Britain.[1] They were here during the Viking invasions. When the Normans invaded, the Cholas were still here in Tamil Nadu doing their thing.

We have been here as a continuous civilization for millennia while maintaining our culture. The same cannot be said about Europe.

> As a political entity India came to be because of the Brits.

The modern Republic of India, yes. If it has not been obvious from my very first comment, I don't really care about political entities because they come and go through processes which may or may not be violent.

What matters to me is the preservation of the language and culture of peoples: civilization. Which does not happen if they are assimilated, replaced or victims of genocide like in Britain, Palestine or the Americas.

I've had to kinda bootstrap myself into this process as our company decided they wanted to try their hand at making a game and have me help with the process.

The books, tutorials, and videos out there are okay. They will more often than not get things working. But the problem is they don't really go beyond that. They kinda assume you're a solo game dev working on a solo indie project and that's that.

To go to the next step requires a mix of game dev knowledge (I've obtained a bit over the years), lots of software design sensibilities (to recognize when something doesn't feel right), and lots of digging on the internet (to try to find out how professionals are solving the problem you just ran across).
so basically the best approach is to get the vaccine, wait a few days then get exposed to actual covid if you want maximum immunity without dying?
Or alternatively, you need to define better in different terms. Something that I feel has stricken the heart of what good is the nature of run as found via Minecraft or Roblox. For anyone that cares about graphics, this was a punch in the face.

Fun, however, is a much harder quality to define.
