You're comparing an entire Engine to a video game. UE not only a game engine, but is also used in Cinema, ArchViz, Animation, Automotive ... It's got thousands of people working on it.
Unfortunately policy is formed from a balance of competing powers, not as a result of an idea for doing what is best for people.

I think it's a mistake to think that captains of industry want productivity above all else. They'll happily sacrifice productivity for certainty and compliance.
The top performer I know is a legend in my mind. I literally constructed a story in my head that during their gestation in the womb, there was some brain development mistake that the cells literally neglected to apply the synapses that allow frustration.

There are glass half full of water people. This top performer is glass half full of: trillions of molecules that allow for the biology the most incredible aggregation of elements in the universe! What a wonder!

What a treat to work with them!
This? Since CP there were a few releases of other big titles that got worse scores than CP
The simplest answer is that the journal size isn't infinite, and not everything goes into the journal (like often actual file data). Therefore, stuff must be removed from the journal at some point. The filesystem only removes stuff from the journal once it has a clear message from the drive that the data that has been written elsewhere is safe and secure. If the drive lies about that, then the filesystem may overwrite part of the journal that it thinks is no longer needed, and the drive may write that journal-overwrite before it writes the long-term representation. That's how you get filesystem corruption.
Since I happen to be sitting in a tall Nairobi office, here's a view from the Apollo Agriculture office. (All of our customers payments are in Mpesa as well.)

The worst thing about this is that the people who are responsible for all these transgressions only get a slap on the wrist, a small fine and then they can keep doing what they've been doing... Accumulating more wealth and power, imposing their neglectful and deceptive approach on the employees who work for them, the companies they invest in and the governments they lobby... No wonder the west is on the verge of collapse now. The system has been rewarding the wrong behaviors and the wrong people and now they set all the rules.
That's why I gave the death at 8%. I imagine the OS controls the hibernation, so it probably won't think that is low enough to trigger hibernation, just a warning. My current laptop will die at 70%, and I have hibernation triggering at 80% just to be safe (it lasts about 10 minutes after being unplugged). From experience, when the power dies it just turns off. The OS has no idea the battery is about to die and when rebooting it requires an fsck (or whatever its called) to get back to normal. So I assume there is data loss.

Also, thanks for all you're doing with Linux on the new macs. I love your blog posts!

What to do if you're about to fail real analysis for the second time?
Those aren’t gigantic. That’s pretty much normal-sized for Stellaris or Pathfinder:Kingmaker/Wrath of the Righteous patches.

For fun, I looked at the latest major patch notes for Stellaris [0] and Wrath of the Righteous [1]

CP 1.5: 300 lines, 24.6 kb

Stellaris 3.3: 380 lines, 34.6 kb

PF:WotR 1.2.0e: 416 lines, 30.8 kb

I did nothing but paste the patchnotes into a txt file, so empty lines are still counted for all 3 games.

I lived under what's now called the "Soviet occupation", and it didn't feel occupied at all too.
Links to Twitter discussions are fine, but it would be nice if they automatically redirected to a tweet-reader app and/or a self post that contained the entire discussion.
I don’t think so because there aren’t good objective measures outside of baseball.
What is "T posing"?
I know plenty of people who will say "you know what, I'm out" despite living paycheck to paycheck, or maybe having 1 or 2 months living expenses saved up. They're just open to the risk of going with the flow, and confident they'll find something to keep them going. They tend to be a lot happier than those I know who are focussed on money and career.

This doesn't work if you're literally struggling to make ends meet to the point that you're actually not making ends meet. But you certainly don't need anything near "never have to work again" levels of wealth to have this freedom.
Even if the helmet never saves you in an accident it's usually warmer and more comfortable than a hat and will save you from many annoying bumps on the head on the lift. Here in Europe all boarders are wise enough to wear a helmet, but some skiers still don't, usually old men who have been skiing since long before helmets were a thing.
It's mostly FUD driven, after CP there were worse quality releases of eg. Battlefield, GTA but they didn't gain that much media coverage and somehow Sony didn't pull them out from their store to "protect players from bad purchase decisions"
I think the point is to avoid shooting war, not to be fair (whatever "fair" could mean in the context of countries).
Ukraine Crisis:Europe Prepares for War
I have my Samsung TV wired to my network only for remote control with Home Assistant (can turn it off if nothing is playing for example). But I force all of its DNS to use a pihole, blocking all Samsung domains. I think I also have firewall rules to also block all internet access on it except NTP, but I don't remember if I still have that enabled or not (there may have been an issue with it disabling something that I needed for Home Assistant to talk to it).
The scam is misrepresentation. There's an almost intangible line between "fake it til you make it" and "fraud". There's pushing that line, and there's jumping over it.

- Misrepresented previous client list
- Misrepresented project experience
- Misrepresented personal brand (fake LinkedIn reviews)
- Misrepresented other brands (faking reviews from fake Nike employees)
- Misrepresented company status (faked employees)
- Misrepresented company director status (fake GQ adverts, fake instagram followers)

The scam is that an individual carefully constructed a fake reality to sell a "job" to a bunch of individuals under false pretences. This wasn't an honest mistake. It was an orchestrated and premeditated punt at using a group of individuals labour at zero cost to land a big client for significant financial reward for the perpetrator.

> A scam is something which is a deception or a lie, not terms to which you openly agree to.

"Come join our new agency. We have no client list, or leads, and no pedigree with which to land a big client, and I will be unable to pay you until we land our first client"

vs

"I am a highly successful creative director with a swathe of personal and professional connections to high value businesses. I am offering a commission only role but given <all of the misrepresentation> we will definitely land 7 figure contracts! You don't have to take my word for it, look at all the <carefully crafted misrepresentation>"

Shameful to be insinuating this is an honest business practice, IMO
Some jobs literslly ruin lives / your health, or make you miserable, so with this outlook these jobs should be paying massive fines or compensation?

I think that missed my point. If a file is large enough that this becomes an issue, it is tens of thousands of lines or more, which means it's rarely human written code. I'm perfectly happy to turn off anything fancy in that scenario, as on the rare (every few months at most) occasions where I open such monstrously large files it's usually a log file or similar, not code. Your mileage may well vary, but I'm not interested in writing a general purpose editor (some components of my editor are general purpose, and I'm packaging up some of them, but the editor itself is written entirely with my own usage patterns in mind - my editor is smaller than my .emacs file used to be). I think more people ought to focus on writing more opinionated editors rather than try to make everyone happy.

That said, it's not true that it needs to affect features like the ones you mentioned - all you need is to add a facade that gives your tools whatever interface to the buffer they need. As it is, my editor stores its buffer in a separate server process, because it was trivial to do so and gave me a bunch of benefits like multiple clients connecting to the same buffer, which also means I can trivially have out-of-process services augmenting the buffers with additional state lazily without needing to know anything about how the buffers are represented. The server process + a facade for the current buffer implementation + most of the basic editing operations the rest is built on is ~500 lines of code.
It is proven that Turing machines can recognize a wider class of languages than Chomsky regular expressions. However, the article uses something more powerful than Chomsky regular expressions, because they contain backreferences (as \2 and \4), and also there is a repeated search-and-replace involved, which also adds to their power.
I’m a decent snowboarder. Was going slowly (maybe 30kmh) on a easy wide downhill. Weather was perfect. Piste was not huge but broad and empty. Got hit from behind by a Ski instructor who was doing 60kmh+. He had a ‘weak moment’ and didn’t see me. I couldn’t catch myself and fell on the back of my head. Even though I was wearing a helmet, still had a mild concussion. Now is 5 weeks later and still dealing with the consequences. Glad a buddy who was skiing behind me caught it on his GoPro because it seemed so bizarre.

Wear a helmet. You’re protecting yourself from other things than just your own lack of skill. (not to mention it’s mandatory in many parts of the world now)
I think there's a massive difference between coaching people to play competitive chess and teaching people to be good developers. For a start, in chess you only really start making good money from it when you're exceptionally good. Most chess players only ever play for their own satisfaction.

The same is absolutely not true for developers. You might well need talent to be a chess player who makes a living from chess, but there is no evidence that developers can't make a good living from their skill without having any innate talent in an area of software development. I've met and worked with plenty of good developers who essentially write code by brute forcing solutions to problems combined with lots of Googling. We all do it.
Same happened to my cousin. Her screen broke from the fold. Samsung says no warranty, since "it's caused by a 2mm scratch in the hinge". That scratch was caused by a bump into metal while she was carrying it by hand, it wasn't hard.
In fact, the phone I'm writing from has had much stronger hits, all to the corners and my aluminum is more marked than hers, but my screen is intact. (Mine is an LG G7, for the record).
NPC sometimes take T pose and stand still https://duckduckgo.com/?q=t+pose+cyberpunk&iax=images&ia=ima...
I was not familiar with web3isgoinggreat.com, but this looks like the best new tech news site I've seen in a while. Great format.
The main problem I have with twitter links is that they're too short to understand what they're saying if you don't already know the whole context. I almost always have to dig through the HN comment section hoping that someone explained what the tweet said.
Have you done it before ? Whenever someone explains something nontrivial as "you just" in my experience they are seriously underestimating the work required and never actually tried to do it.
Ok so it means they botched the animation of some characters?
A human standing in a pose that looks like a T. So standing up straight, arms stretched out to both sides.

I'm not entirely certain but I believe the T-pose is the "default" position for characters before their animations start.

So it's just really sloppy game dev work. As if the game suddenly only has lego characters that don't have animations anymore.
I am a skier. Have seen snowboarders practicing finding the worst place to sit. This was in the middle of a closed ski race course so the result of being below a lip could be bad.
those screens are the most expensive part, on top of that replacing them is hard due to technology that makes them good(good enough?), you make them easily replaceable and it will make them less desirable by the customer.

Better than it used to be is not a very high bar to clear.

As a reader, I actively seek the threadreaderapp posters and follow these links to improve the reading experience. Or just go to nitter since I discovered that it's a thing.
Thanks, this is a very convincing answer.
I use caps lock very often, because when touch-typing it's A LOT EASIER than keeping changing the finger I use to press Shift on the correct side of the keyboard.

And if you think "well, just keep shift pressed and use another finger to type what you would have typed with your pinky" it just means you're either not touch typing or doing it "wrong" :) There's a reason there are two shift keys on a keyboard, yet I rarely hear people complaining about this but plenty complain about the "useless" caps lock.

TL;DR: you can pry caps lock from my cold dead hands. I need it.

(ETA: maybe I should just remap double-shift to caps and be done with it, but that's just one more thing I have to learn and one more configuration I need to do on a new machine).
The first thing I was taught was not to put my hands out when falling. So I didn't and I broke my shoulder instead.
Two reasons why the ancient Greeks didn't use this method are:

1. They didn't know how far away the stars were. The stars might as well be illuminated dots on a sphere that is surrounding the earth not too far away.

2. Also you'd have to measure the time very precisely at several quite distant points on the Earth's surface. Not an easy feat.
I wonder how big is the impact of the pandemic on the industry.
CP is not the only game that had many issues after covid virus spread all over the world.

Personally I see that the productivity(and especially products quality) had decreased in the company I am working for.
I think you're ignoring the fact that people like to access their accounts from different devices. Using a password manager means you either only use a single device for all your internet, or you deal with the synchronisation problem yourself.

Both of those are a worse UX than either using a password (with constraints enforced by the site) or email-based auth.

> 1. The browser will generate all your passwords. The UX to pick your own password will be awkward.

So, not only will the user be locked into a single device, they'll be locked into a single browser on that device? That's hardly an improvement, is it?
My understanding is that the whole hate around the game is the fact that it got over-hyped with everyone just raising the expectation to then finish with a suboptimal release that was worse than dog shit on a sidewalk...
Everyone that stepped on it, obviously, got frustrated and reacted on it.
Can't blame people for getting angry and reacting on something that was NOT what they paid for. We can blame them however for supporting this type of hyped releases by throwing money at game companies before they even give proof that their product is solid or even close to what they advertise.
Lost interest when I read "for the Mac"
One is cool and the other brings people to their destinations.
FF with uBO (default lists + "annoyances") and noscript here (with Twitter itself whitelisted, otherwise it doesn't seem to work anymore), no popups in sight either.
I'm gonna say that if you were content playing it on PS4, your expectations probably were far below that of the average player.

I completely understand why people with high expectations were disappointed with the game.

Yes, These corporate types will walk in a serious correction, decoupled from the effects, but still losing their equity. Individuals will lose their equity and may lose all assets - depends on the fine print in the mortgage what the mortgagee has signed. Too many people walked in the past 2 crashes, so banks etc put deep asset hooks in the print so walkers could get chased for all their assets(subject to prior mortgages)
That is why lenders are getting warier as the peak grows higher.
It is an analog of the past collapse, using capital pooling for purposes the sea of individuals never anticipated, and if and when there is a collapse it will create a new class of poor....
I've completed Cyberpunk 2077 twice, and although I really like the game and would recommend it to anyone who finds it interesting, there's most definitely bugs.

I've had a quest line be incompletable because some script trigger didn't happen (I think the NPC got stuck), I've had to reload an autosave because a story mission would not progress (most likely a missed trigger again), escort NPCs have followed me for hours after completing the escort mission they were involved in, I've had cars instantly stop from 200 km/h after hitting an invisible barrier in the middle of a road, jumping over a barrier has sent me flying into space, NPCs have had objects stuck to their hands, NPC voice lines have duplicated, I've gotten stuck in a finisher animation, I've gotten stuck in a car that spawned inside an object, NPCs have walked through parked cars during missions, and a lot of random T-posing.

And these are the bugs that I remember off the top of my head, or remembered by having a cursorary look through my YouTube uploads.

Luckily, most of the bugs are funny and only visual, but it was pretty annoying that the only way I would've been able to continue that one side quest was by reloading a save and losing hours of progress.

When I was learning how to ski there was one helpful advice from computer science that became the most important advice I'd ever told myself (when it comes to learning how to ski). I was thinking about finite state machines at the time.

The advice is: you need to know whether you are in a: good state, acceptable failure state, unacceptable failure state. The rule: never ever ever ever get into an unacceptable failure state. Moreover, define an unacceptable failure state as such.

In my case, an unacceptable failure state had anything to do with potential chances to get irreversible damage. I am athletic in a few ways (e.g. running) but skiing hits all my bad points (balance, flexibility and reaction time). Learning how to ski was quite hellish for me, but my GF pushed me and I basically had little choice. On the one hand I'm grateful, on the other hand I still remember the pain too well.

So, how to get in an acceptable failure state all the time? I realized I needed to learn how to fall. The irony was that my ski-instructor never told me this, he simply taught me some very basic skiing skills but that's it.

Once you learn how to fail, you can get into an acceptable failure state :) You'll be bruised, but it's better than skiing of a cliff. For a long while (2 years), falling was the only way reliable way for me to break. Yes I could do a snowplough but it simply slowed my acceleration in the beginning and later it slowed my speed up to a point. I had to learn the hockey stop in order to find another way to reliably break. Your mileage may vary though ;-)

Good state, acceptable failure state, unacceptable failure state. Combine that with some basic ski lessons and a helpful skiing partner and you'll learn how to ski. I started at 27 against my will and can ski okay-ish on a red piste a few years later.
A very valid point is that Twitter asks for an account to view content. This makes it unacceptable to be posted here as is, imo.

All OPs posting Tweets should be required to post an alternative link which doesn't require an account, just like with other paywalled content.
I think that would be complex to implement in a way that would be useful to enough people without getting in the way of everyone else, you are either putting a log of load on detecting what content is into the site, or putting that load onto submitters by expecting them to take time to tag things appropriately.

And the just isn't enough traffic to make it worthwhile IMO (is scanning a page, or maybe two, of HN to see if anything piques your interest really a chore?).

I avoid clicking twitter links generally, Medium too, but the discussion they bring up can be interesting, and often include links to relevant information from less irritating sources, so I wouldn't want them to simply not be here.

If you do want fully rid of the links yourself, maybe a userscript is a practical answer? Though if you are a Chrome user that option will be less convenient in future as IIRC Manifest 3 will break options like Tapermonkey (a bookmarklet will still work, assuming you don't mind an extra click).
Could you explain the question?

As far as I understand (which is little more than this twitter thread) the flush command should only return a success response once any data has been written to non-volatile storage.

If the storage still requires power after that point to maintain the data, that storage area is volatile, no?

So if the device has returned success (and I'm not going to claim that they've ensured that it was the device returning success and not the adapter, or that they even verified what the response was - those seem like valid questions) presumably the power wind-down should not be an issue?

That said, I presumed by "disconnect the cable" the test involved some extension cable from the motherboard straight to drive to make it easier to disconnect - would that therefore make it a valid test of the NVMe?
They're just stating facts. Good or bad, antidepressants help people cope with life just as opioid help people deal with physical pain. Chronic usage can become a problem, but short term usage is unquestionably beneficial for many people.

Sometimes your mental state is so bad you can't make any decision or improve your current situation. Maybe you're working during the day and dealing with your family the rest of the time and feel stuck and sinking. Antidepressants can help dissipate the fog in your mind, allowing you to think clearly and actually make the decisions you needed to make and improve your live to a point where they are not needed anymore. You also talk with the doctor prescribing the drugs, if it's not improving how you feel they will suggest other solutions.

Also I totally agree with parent. Decent material conditions and the knowledge that they are stable are absolutely needed for a healthy and flourishing mind.
Just watch this

People were expecting GTA: Night City it was more of an open-world RPG. People are still butt-hurt about it.

Streamers were seriously running out and shooting the first civilian and were disappointed at the lack of police chases. Some people even complained about the car modeling realism (lack of traction when you drive one corner of the car over a bollard etc).

At its current price (25-30€ish sales everywhere) it's fully worth playing just for the story. It's not the best fighting game, it's not the best driving game, but the story is damn good and some of the endings really gut-wrenching.

Just the dive with Judy is something I haven't seen in a game in a long time. No explosions, no shooting, just characters talking about their feelings.
