Not that long ago I built a gaming computer for my girlfriend's nephew. He asked me to help him with a problem and when I opened up Chrome to google it defaulted to Yahoo search. He said it has been doing that for a while and he didn't know why. Those days are unfortunately not over.
This is going to sound a bit hyperbolic but I haven’t been truly impressed with any new features in Unity since the introduction of PBR and dynamic indirect lighting in Unity 5.0. If your game doesn’t require cutting-edge technology then you would be hard-pressed to find a significant difference between the latest version and say version 5.4. If your game does require excellent optimization, rendering tech, etc, then Unreal is simply the better option.

I'd be happy with the Highway Code being updated, or with other provision being made for cyclists, but it sounds like you're suggesting cyclists should just ignore the rules?

The trouble with that is that by not following the rules, it's harder for other road users (in particular pedestrians) to predict what they're going to do.

Even though bikes are much lighter than cars, I'd prefer not to be hot by either!
Thanks for sharing. Here's some feedback.

1. I found it distracting the instructions were an image instead of text. I sometimes drag my cursor along lines in bulleted lists and was surprised the image started moving.

2. Why can I drag the directions across the page? Is that a bug?

3. The instructions are very concise and clear.

4. Why is there a `*` after `values` in the fourth item?

5. Would you enable a "click to teleport letter to next position of 'active' word" so I don't have to drag the mouse across the screen so many times? Or some other way to get answers up faster?

6. It would be nice if I had an indicator that one of the words I got fits in the global solution. How do you feel about enabling an "easy mode" or something that allows instant feedback for this?

7. It is nice you have the top possible score in the header. Would it be more obvious if it was made to stand out somehow (maybe 43/380 points or something)?

8. The interface is super clean. Nice job!

You don’t really have no concern for the underlying hardware. You pick and choose the CPU/GPU horsepower, memory, storage type and storage class, network transfer speed, and many other things.

It’s at the point of needing to scale horizontally where I begin to disagree with your premise. This is where you’ll typically get into proprietary and/or ugly offerings.
By that reasoning there was never even a point to having the deduction in the first place.
There's also a financial aspect that I think is important, and this is purely anecdotal, based on my experience.

When my partner and I were younger we had more dependent children, were not yet established in our careers, and were living month to month, with little to show for it. Money was a frequent cause of arguments and resentment.

Now we are down to one dependent child, we are both earning good money, can afford to splash out on each other a little, take an occasional holiday, and don't feel bad about the odd selfish purchase. We don't argue about money anymore. Nothing much else has changed, our love life has remained consistent, time together, shared activities. The one major change is that we're not fretting at the end of the month, as we wait for payday.

Get your prescription and buy online. The optometrists try to short change you by leaving out the interpupillary (IPD) space = the space between the pupils of your eyes as you look at infinity. Some have been accused of giving you the wrong number??
This is easy to measure with a mirror as per wikihow.
https://www.wikihow.com/Measure-Your-Interpupillary-Distance....

Pick your frame and select the progressive lenses. As you look through lower and lower portions of the lens it assumes you are reading closer and closer work. Look through the high part for distance vision. Your eyes normally accommodate for distance, but after 25 they lose this gradually. Some eye exercise gurus claim their exercises preserve accommodation? It is bot a muscle aspect that you can exercise and a flexibility aspect = lens stiffens with age = no hope. Some people claim certain eyes drop extend flexibility to older ages??

Lecture 6 starting at about 22:00 is the Chinese room argument. https://youtu.be/zLQjbACTaZM?t=1322 Systems reply starts at 34:00. To be honest, I haven't found the detailed treatment of the counterarguments that you promised in another comment. His counterargument to the systems reply is that he's flabbergasted, and "it's not gonna work if you think about it". Then, of course, he gives the "what if I memorize the rulebook and do it all in my head" spiel. If you're committed to the systems reply, the man and the stuff in his head etc. is still a system and the systems reply holds just as much as before. It's fun indeed to hear it from the man himself, but from his tone it's abundantly clear that he is just not willing, or perhaps able, to give it serious consideration.

Small?! Supply side is completely f-ed in real estate by red tape and regulations on building. It's the main reason we have such housing costs across the developed world.
Simple rules can give surprising, complex behaviour.

That's a good point. Unfortunately, it's also true not only of PEGs and recursive-descent parsing, but also of essentially every parsing formalism out there. So it doesn't seem to disqualify PEGs in particular.

(It's also true of programming languages generally: For which inputs does Collatz halt, and why?)
While this seems intuitively true, it seems to me like the opposite is happening. Every advance or increase in technological efficiency creates exponentially _more_ demand for developers. Think about every tool and library that comes out; all the JavaScript front end tooling which made things “easy” has created literal armies of front end engineers. Even going farther back, think about Java, PHP, C++, all these came out to make developers lives’ easier and ended up creating more and more developers. We can even see it in the invention of the concept of high level languages over machine code, that’s also a human simplification.

Personally, I don’t see the train suddenly stopping and going in reverse anytime soon.
> Without mark-to-market, there’s no chance of a risk-reduction spiral

Firms trading in the private markets for peanuts continue being marked at last round on funds’ books. Which works fine if the fund broadly performs and then writes off or distributed those stumps at EOL. Until those IRRs fall and LPs begin demanding market marking that status quo remains stable.

In our town the trafic lights work perfectly. I seldom have to stop at anything that the first redlight, everything after that is in perfect flow as long as I keep on the straight path. Even left turn in empty crossings work fine, both left and straight goes green and when I enter the turn lane, the straight goes red and only the turn stays green. It's all about setting them up right.

I'm so used to this since I started driving 30+ years ago so I get pretty surpriced when I visit people in Germany and stand in an empty crossing with a redlight. Or have to stop at every single redlight thrugh the whole town.
Hm, possibly? I mean, I luckily don't have diabetes and know the Libre 2 only second-hand (my Dad uses it to monitor his non-T1d). So I am not too familiar with the details, hence first of all thanks for the clarification of what that device can or much rather can not do.

However, I was under the impression that the GP [emj] was "only" considering good monitoring to improve their decision about insulin application. Not a closed loop system. But yeah, if they meant a closed loop and if the Dexcom is the cheapest option here, then the 300 US$/month is actually cheaper than the 380 US$/month you outlined.
Interesting piece. But speaking as someone who was formerly a very junior VC through the dot-com era, there most certainly can be a negative spiral.

The public and private markets aren't as distinct as they might appear to be. A VC buying shares in a private company at valuation X must believe that a sale is possible at a big multiple of X, and soon. Some VC will be the last investor before the company goes public or is acquired. And that last private investor has to sell to another buyer, either a strategic acquirer with cash (or highly-valued stock) or an investor making a purchase in an IPO. And if those exits don't look as rosy as they used to (seen the share price movements of publicly-traded tech stocks lately?), the whole thing runs in reverse.

Worse, if the companies needing financing aren't cash-flow positive or profitable (and few are), existing investors' stakes will be diluted as prices drop. Investors might want to slow the pace of investments to reserve cash to fund the needs of their existing companies, rather than take bets on additional companies needing cash.

Also, while speed is good for startups, "time diversification" used to be considered a good thing for VC investors, who really are playing a portfolio game. The worst-performing funds from the dot-com era were those raised and invested in 2000, just before the peak of the bubble. Of course, at the time, no one knew it was the peak.

Almost no one working in VC now would remember it, but there was a short recession in the early 90s that greatly affected the VC industry. The fund I worked for had been founded in the mid-80s, and reading the old investor letters was fascinating. Admittedly early stage tech was a far smaller industry back then (the dollars thrown around now make the deals I worked on in the dot-com era look positively quaint), but so were the burn rates.

Your content editors would never write that. But if they asked for a feature where you can filter content by programming languages, GROQ would allow your engineers to build it very quickly.

I think it was probably a mistake for the article to go into GROQ, but the essence of the point is that content as structured data means content is queryable.
> Supply-chain attacks are about to destroy our current model of trust in FOSS

If you are referring to the various NPM style issues that cropped up in the past couple of years, I would say that non-curated public repositories are definitely _NOT_ "the current model of trust in FOSS".

The current model of trust is a curated restricted store where trusted people publish signed versions of the software, namely the individual distributions' repositories. The public versions of these, something like the AUR and PPAs, always come with caveats and trust disclaimers. The fact that there are programming languages communities that want to circumvent this model does not mean that they represent the status quo.

I understand that there are folks who are dependent on fishing right now for livelihood, but we should change that so they aren’t.

But that also brings about a point often overlooked by carnists: are _you_ personally dependent on eating fish to survive? If not then you should stop. For some reason carnists often think in terms of “well this person on the other side of the world needs to rely on fishing, so it’s fine for me to continue eating fish”

No, not by a some orders of magnitude. AGL reported carbon emissions of 42Mtpa in 2019-20. According to [1], the combined carbon emissions attributed to all the datacenters in the US is 31.5Mtpa, so 75% of AGL's emissions.

So even if Atlassian tools around the world used as much processing power as all the datacenters in the US (of course in reality it's orders of magnitude less), the carbon saving of a 20% reduction would only be 6.3Mtpa, or 15% of AGL's emissions.

Turning the anti-monopoly racket protection money from Google into rent for Mozilla’s executives while the company is consistently underperforming when it comes to its stated goals does sound like corruption.

In an underperforming company, executives have no grounds for rewards or raises. In a still-healthy company, they would likely have been replaced.
Which is assuming the conclusion - yes, that kind of cyclist would be dangerous but their number and danger is vanishingly small compared to aggressive and fast drivers (50x more numerous and 10x more dangerous).

Regardless of the actual answer, it can make sense to round it up depending on the use case e.g. if you’re calculating the tolerances for a shaft onto which you place a disk, computing the disk diameter (and thus volume, and weight) to be larger than actual provides a safety margin which rounding down would not. Any additional safety margin added afterwards might not be sufficient in all round-down cases.

No, if crypto becomes the dominant medium of exchange. In this way it would be determined by factors of supply and demand same as money has always been for thousands of years.

I also take the lane a lot to avoid dangerous passes and don't like the entitlement of needing to drive at least the speed limit. However I do think more infrastructure's required, but mainly for a reason not mentioned here: safer infrastructure for cyclists will encourage more people to cycle, reducing the car traffic and making things more pleasant for all travelers. I know a lot of people who'd cycle more if they could do it without feeling like they might be killed every time someone else was in a rush.

(I'm in the UK where cycling on the pavement's not allowed, unless it's a marked cycle or shared lane, not sure if that's different in other countries).
I disagree. These problems are true, but they can mostly be worked around. For instance, do you have to shower in the morning? - many people do not. They are not worse than other problems the affected people experience, I'm sure.

The cost issue is less from the inventory and more from the space. Even just 2qm (quite small bathroom) more per unit adds up to a lot quickly.

Personally, I hate to share a bathroom with neighbors. But when I could not avoid it for a while when I was younger, it could still manage. I'm sure others in less fortunate positions could, too, considering the other, more impactful crap they have to deal with.
You're 100% right. The moment someone blasted their horn -- much less their modified, multi-horn noise-terrorism device -- they should have been warned, fined, and then charged/arrested for mischief. The moment they blocked roadways illegally with regulated, commercial vehicles, they should have been warned, fined, and then charged/arrested, the vehicle towed. The moment the first person stopped near a bridge they should have been...etc.

So we agree, law breakers should have been charged. Police action should have been constant and aggressive.

But it was an occupation. Police barely operated in their lawless zone at all. That's the whole point, and was the intention of the group. It was a bully group, and their rhetoric and claims were often that they would die before they left. There are connotations to that.
Doesn't address documenting dependencies? This is scientific code we are talking about right? Perhaps we're talking past each other.

This is what I mean. For application or package development, say in python, or even in R, then you will want to test for a wide range of dependencies. Then a snapshot such as provided by virtualenv or conda is inadequate. Better to have a requirements.txt file, or something equivalent (like a poetry toml file).

But for a lot of scientific code, such as is published along side a paper, a snapshot is sufficient, and more than is usually provided. How many times have I downloaded a paper's R code only to find it won't run because of some dependency kludge that isn't explicitly stated? Too often.
I have met people who can't and people who won't. Also, a lot of people in their 50s and above aren't solving this.
Trolling is a fishing term. The sense of 'internet troll' is based on a fishing metaphor.

MongoDB uses the Wired Tiger storage engine internally. The MMAP storage engine was removed from MongoDB in V4.2 which was released in March 2020. The MMAP engine was deprecated two years previously.

In MongoDB conversion to and from raw JSON into BSON (Binary JSON) is done on the client (aka driver) so the server cycles are not consumed.
