It's not Beta. At the time I purchased it, it wasn't even Alpha. Beta, as a game developer, implies to me that there's a few outstanding show-stoppers but on the whole the product is safe to show to eager end-consumers who are willing to tolerate some rough edges. The PinePhone isn't even that, yet; I couldn't conscientiously hand it to a non-techy and ask them for feedback because I'm not even sure it would reliably respond to their touch input, let alone do anything else.

Concur. I've done some programming for a platform that gave me way less than 128k to work with, and it's not rocket science. In some ways it's a hell of a lot easier than, say, web development.

It just forces you to be aware of certain things that are tremendously wasteful of memory and cycles, but which don't matter on "modern" hardware.

And by "don't matter" I mean "do matter a whole bunch, but your particular contribution to the problem is likely to be small enough that it won't help much if you spend the time to do it right, so why bother"
The data isn’t in yet. In tone age brackets, myocarditis rates are very High. Accounting for 1% average reporting rates and the possibility for undiagnosed cases, the long term survival rate for unvaccinated young people could be higher.

There are also concerns about the effects of lipid nanoparticles. They spread Throughout the body (pfizer flatly lied about them staying in the muscle tissue) and no long term study about them was done by pfizer or moderna.

Other studies on the topic show them to be extremely harmful and even lethal in animals. It seems like each shot just builds up more in your system too.
> Outside the US the prevalent view is pretty much against those atomic bombings

Sorry, what gives you (or anyone else) the right to speak for the "prevalent view" in the entire rest of the world outside of the US? In my experience, many Western Europeans love to decry American arrogance (okay some truth to that), but then go on to themselves claim the right to speak for the entire rest of the world. There are a great many countries in the world, and they all have the right to speak for themselves.

Some may have had the luck to have not suffered too horribly for various reasons during WWII. Other have suffered horribly under the Axis powers, and don't decry the brutal tactics that were sometimes needed to win the war against a far more brutal enemy as soon as possible.
You can definitely use this in some enterprise contexts. This is what I usually do for logging into Azure.
You've lost surprise - and the psychological shock that comes with it. Remember that the Allies wanted to maximize that shock, because it gave the dissident forces inside of the Japanese cabinet the most room to challenge the continue prosecution of the war.

In this, they were absolutely correct.

If there is only one correct answer to a problem in a given language, people will shunt that creativity to architecture or elsewhere. People still want to be creative in their work, programming and system administration is fundamentally a creative job.

Which would you rather have, a script that was too clever by half, or a system architecture that was too clever by half?

It's a whole lot easier to fix the script than it is the system architecture.

Somewhere between 1:1 and 10:1?

If it's 10:1, then that's basically saying that Japanese adult civilian lives are worth absolutely nothing and can be killed without any moral concern, but Japanese children are worth the same as allied lives.

Going any further (e.g 200:1) is unjustifible unless we adopt the collectivistic moral guilt framework where one has moral guilt (including children) simply for existing in that country at that time, irrespective of individual culpability.

"How could President Truman possibly morally justify telling Americans that even one more of their sons had to die in order to protect enemy civilians?"

Just because the general public would find it difficult to put moral worth into civilian lives of an enemy doesn't make those lives worthless.

I also don't like the language of calling them enemy civilians. They are civilians who live in a country that's currently an enemy.
... which you won't, because the space is too large (around 90 bits of entropy if I'm not mistaken, bit less, so 10^27-ish possible solutions).
No, not at all.

no foreign occupation of Japan The U.S. occupied Japan and had absolute rule over it

Japan surrenders occupied territories and returns to pre-war borders Japan was occupied by the U.S. and had zero territorial integrity or control over the Home Islands.

Japan handles their own disarmament The U.S. disarmed Japan and actually did so, rather than hide a bunch of war materials

prosecution of Japanese war criminals. The U.S. prosecuted many Japanese war criminals, rather than hold a few show trials.

retention of the Imperial gov't The Imperial gov't was disbanded and replaced with direct rule by McArthur until the new democratic structure was set up. A figurehead emperor was retained because it was useful to do so.

In short, the Japanese surrender terms had to do with Japan as a nation pulling back from its conquests and making some notional gestures at disarmament and prosecution of war criminals. What they got in the end was complete surrender to their enemy who rebuilt their nation the way the enemy decided to.

They were lucky insofar as the U.S. desire was to rebuild Japan as a prosperous democratic nation to serve as an eastern bulwark against communist expansion. The German plan for western Russia was to depopulate it and repopulate it with Germans.

For procedural animation: I have yet to find the path to learning this skill. It is very opaque, and I think you just need to attack it with your brain and learn it.

For shader and graphics programming: I liked this tutorial series as a "first steps" by Freya Holmér: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfM-yu0iQBk

Here is another list: https://www.alanzucconi.com/2018/01/03/learning-shaders/

The Book of Shaders is a popular suggestion, but it appears to be abandoned: https://thebookofshaders.com/

For general Unreal? Tom Looman's $300 Unreal C++ class, available on his website. It is pricey but really excellent.

I also discovered this AWESOME list of learning paths for all gamedev concepts: https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer
Answered my own question by reading the README.wasm.md
"We're using Qt 5.15.2 with Emscripten 2.0.31. "
Wow, this resonates so much that I'm building a company around the idea of finishing games. I was a professional game developer over a decade ago. I used to try to build games on the side and I never got anywhere. I just messed around with engine internals, graphics code, and went down the never-ending rabbit hole of game engines. I worked on some big-budget games, but as a small cog on a large team, it never felt like I finished my game.

I left gamedev years ago to launch a few startups. After selling my edtech company last year, I picked up Godot on a whim and guess what...I finally could see myself finishing a game. Not messing around with engines, not writing low-level graphics code, but actually finishing a game in a few months. It inspired me so much that I'm starting a community called Quiver (https://quiver.dev). It's still in development, so I don't have much to show yet. But hopefully in a couple months we'll have tutorials, project templates, and a lot more. And here's the thing - with the right guidance and the right tools, I believe a whole bunch of new people will be able to finish their games that wouldn't have previously.

If this is interesting at all, please shoot me an email (check my profile).

I've been running into a similar-ish problem which involves someone creating a bunch of gmail accounts and linking my account to it. Whenever that happens, Google sends me an email notifying me with an option to remove the linking. However, since I never initiated that action to begin with, I start worrying that the email could be a phishing attempt, so I don't click any of the links. But as a result, I start getting email notifications whenever someone logs to those accounts from random countries on random phones.

Lately they've started creating Facebook accounts with my email. Despite me not verifying the email, Facebook continues to send me login notifications.

Has this happened to anyone? I don't quite understand the attack vector, but my guess is that they're trying to bomb me with notifications and if/when they start realizing that I'm clicking on the links in the notification emails, they can start sending out phishing emails with malicious URLs.
ECS is sort of an in-memory database. The rock is not a class in the code: it's just an entity in the game that has X, Y and Z components "attached" to it, dynamically. Components are just structs. And finally Systems are just functions that runs once-per-frame doing something on entities that have a certain components on them. Normally, entities/components are serialised into some format so it's not static in the code.

The advantage of this is that this requires less code, permits very good separation of concerns and is very transferrable even between engines. Unity, for example, uses something similar where components and systems are in the same class together. For self-coded games, there's several libraries too.
Sure, and then they start tracking me with that id. I just want to opt out of the entire experience. I'm fine paying the price by not having any personalized ads sent my way. I'd actually really really like that, in fact.
I wonder if it is also plausible that these neurons are not showing as active for calculation purposes, but instead active as they are triggering the human emotion to loss aversion.

cliches, riches, niches. (Proounced clee-shays, ritches, nee-shiz.)

Hooray English!
> it is actively doing so

It is trying. Yahoo tried to acquire Google too, remember? Why take millions when you can make billions? Plenty of orgs refuse to be acquired because they see more money on the table by competing.

> Is that belief of yours even falsifiable?

Not per se, but history shows that even the most entrenched monopolies are very prone to disruption. I don't see any non-banks in the Fortune 100 that are over a century old. This almost proves my point since there is hardly any industry more entrenched by regulation than banking.

> representing a net negative for the world?

First we would have to agree on what "net negative" means, agree that our vision of what to do about it would improve the situation, and agree that we have a right to take such an intervention. Do you see where the problem is?

> unconstrained free market always leads to an eventually optimal equilibrium

Of course not, only that we the people do not have the right to dictate to other free people how they can peacefully, consensually, interact. Nor do we have the right to dictate to others the meanings of words like "negative" and "positive". All this does is diminish the freedom of everyone involved.
> Why is webauthn being adopted so slowly? Why do we have passwords at all?

Microsoft's WebAuthn implementation was completely unusable in Safari until a few months ago for me and would just fail at enrollment with a useless, generic error - not sure who is to blame but the point is that it's much more complex than passwords which are merely a text-based secret that only requires a text input field.

> Why doesn't the US government calculate how much taxes each person owes and send them a bill/check and let them dispute it?

That's a political problem, but frankly not too far off from the 2FA situation at hand where every company insists on using their own, non-interoperable, often shitty authenticator (a comment above raises an issue with the various not-functionally-necessary permissions that the Microsoft Authenticator app requires on Android) instead of adhering to an open standard such as TOTP (yes it has issues, but the world would still be much better off if we at least converged on that).
Thank you. That's a nice idea :)
Really interesting to think about hardware vs software. Thank goodness for Von Neumann for helping us get more generic.

A lot of historians assume that Babbages work collected dust and was lost for 100 years. This turns out to not be true at all. His work was consulted by the Scheuts and Jevons. Details on what I found researching him at https://buriedreads.com/2019/02/09/when-computers-stopped-be...
If that works for you, great. But I don't think the article is implying that learning music has to start with teaching people about frequencies, it's just saying that some people (like the author) have found it helpful to latch onto.

The “don’t theme my app” thing just tells me that GNOME/GTK+/Adwaita aren’t built in a way that gracefully handles theming, or that devs building apps with them are doing things like hard coding colors when they should be using dynamic system colors such as those provided by UIColor[0] in UIKit.

You're right and great news!!! He made it to Alexa AI team finally.
Also for Microsoft accounts? When I want to use my Yubikey for my Microsoft Account, it requires me to protect the key using a PIN. But when I protect it with a PIN, I can't use it anymore via NFC on iOS.

London doesn't have this problem if I am not mistaken. But housing is very very expensive still. So much that a 3 bedroom 120sqm apartment can be more than 6 million dollars even outside Central London depending on the area.

I have a masters in philosophy, graduated with distinction and have top GPA for both runs, but I actually get more responses not mentioning any of that.

These days, as I have been told, getting an email back is less merit based than it is playing the right game for the initial algorithmic screening. Once you get through that though and do interviews, your merits become a lot more important, but the initial step is huge. It has taken me years to get to the point where I get an email back like... 1% of the time. Its a big black box, but you have all the room to experiment with it!

I am really happy for your success though!
I use the mobile UI at i.reddit.com, or by appending ".compact" to the URL.
Interesting! The reason I created the above is because reddit search is particularly bad, but I want to glean information from reddit posts. By using google (or duckduckgo, etc) as the engine, and Reddit as the source of information, I'm able to find exactly what I need.

It wants your GPS location for the same reason banks look at your location. Even if they still let an auth request go through, they can alert you through email if a request is approved from an unexpected location. Camera permission is necessary for QR codes so you can setup the authenticator. No idea what the mic permission is about though.

Yep, I wasn't attacking event systems, they definitely allow a lot of cool behaviour. My approach was chosen since it was simpler, and for a solo project where I will have to dedicate months/years anyway, I choose to cut on non essential stuff that I might never use. I'd rather have something playable in a couple months to be able to prototype more, I can figure out what I need to add after.
Yeah, similar to other responses to you, I got into the industry in no small part due to building a game. I also built a recipe website to learn web development (which is pretty low hanging fruit).

It may have more to do with the quality of your code. I'm now in a hiring position (Director of DevOps), and I can tell you, seeing a game in a Github wouldn't turn me off at all, it would intrigue me. But I would also take a hard look at the code. Is it quality? Is it well written, well organized, good naming, good clear commenting, well documented? A lot of people let quality slip on their personal projects - and then if you share that, that makes a bad first impression.
Add it to the already overwhelming pile of evidence that they are 100% committed to not actually fixing anything.

It's all about consumer preference. It seems this article largely misses this.

People want to live in specific locations, or have to in order to find work. This drives land values up as demand increases. Policies can make this worse, but the problem will still manifest itself to some degree. (Potentially as affluent people, especially in suburban areas, buying up more land to create setbacks, or simply buying because they can afford it now, or HOAs setting limits, none of which help density, demand, and cost).

"reduce the costs of construction, particularly residential construction (ie: housing)"

Changing preferences are the best way to address this, yet is likely the most difficult to sucessfully influence. Houses being built today are mostly larger homes, and definitely much larger than the majority homes built generations ago. This means more materials, more labor, more regulation, etc. Now we might be using cheaper materials, or less per sqft, or using tools that increase speed of laborers. But I think this is mostly canceled out by just increasing the size of the house (ie we're growing into our fish bowl).

For a personal example, my wife complains that an 1800 sqft house is too small.
Haven't used a language with RPN as default, but Forth is somewhere on my endless "to look at at some point" list : )
Low rates have created a mechanism where large amounts of housing are built by corporations and entrepreneurs for rent. Most of them borrowed market funds at 1% or even less, often on 100% credit, or ~~2-3% or less mortgages and built condos, houses and apartments. There was such a shortage that this drove up prices - yet since people needed a roof overhead, they were forced to pay 40-50% of household income for rent. Managed in bulk by management companies these costs were low and yields of 5-15% were achieved. In addition, many were rented as AirBNB's in low vacancy areas earning 50%, but seasonable.
This is the cause - what is the cure? Home inflation and the Covid stimulus has ramped up inflation. The usual remedy for this is rates hike, but they are afraid that this will create a huge underwater home effect. Once this starts it can become a race to the bottom. Corporations will write off their equity losses, owners will get friend like bacon - they inch them up.

Is the disconnect on skills around the semantics of "transferrable"? Your reply and parent point out that you see lots of skill transfer. But that's "you." What about from a prospective employer's point of view?

Here's a totally different example of the same. I spent 18 years getting really familiar with Smalltalk (specifically VisualWorks). Really familiar. I wasn't afraid to implement goto by mucking with context objects. If I could imagine it, I could do it. Learning and being proficient in Smalltalk has given me huge transferrable skills in modeling, messaging, factoring, abstraction, and so many other things. But telling a prospective employer that one of my skills is to rock things with Smalltalk, isn't very transferable at all. Getting them to accept that I've transferred those skills to be a better Python, Kotlin, C, Linux, Elixir, Swift guy is a long shot. So it's not directly transferrable.
