I always thought it would be cool if a publisher managed this themselves. If you buy the game directly from them they give you download codes for every platform. Obviously the financial incentive is backwards, and stores might get angry, but I would love it!
Yes, the streams would be interleaved.

Exactly - I think this is the actual answer. At some point "I" am going to be a Holocaust victim, or a drug cartel's victim, etc etc. It's horrifying. I think when I die, "I" am just going to be somebody else. Nothing else really makes sense to me.
I'm not sure it's possible to simply out build the ridiculous amounts of cash sloshing around in the real estate market from speculators and foreign investors using it as a way to move money out of their countries. Even in places with loose zoning rules that allow for almost any building to go up anywhere (eg parts of Texas) house prices are still spiking far faster than people's ability to afford them.

My wife just asked me: haven't the truckers now basically been proven right?

I mean: in the end what they were really protesting against were measures they did find totalitarian (btw I'm double vaccinated and so is my wife, out of our free will, so we're not anti-vaxx).

The measures taken do not look like something normal to do in a democracy: invoking an emergency act and using laws meant for war times... Aren't some people who were not sympathetic to their cause now going to think they were right all along?

I'm asking because I just explained the situation to my wife and her first reaction was precisely what I mentioned: "so they were right all along?"

I didn't look at it from that angle but there are obviously people who will.
This is an important caveat, but one I haven't stumbled over yet (I use the USB hub for M+KB and a 1080p webcam+mic, so I'm well under the 480Mbit limit).
> The public good is the sharing, not the platform.

That! Although the platform is good too :)
Sad that most people are only realizing this 6 years later.
Actually DNS too - I'd rather use Amazon's Route53 for DNS than run my own DNS server.
The obvious steps were to send the police in the same manner charging the protestors with the same charges. The joint operation doesn't require the emergency act.

The prime minister could have said sorry to everyone he called deplorable.

These were the two steps.

Now we have this situation
Your opinion being that you should not use exceptions in that type of case. In which cases should you use exceptions?
> It begs the question of whether it is better to be uninformed or misinformed. Consuming mainstream media in the US will misinform you. Not consuming any media will leave you uninformed. If I had to pick I'd rather have an electorate of uninformed than an electorate of misinformed.

Channeling from Thomas Jefferson[1] (emphasis mine):

"Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day. I really look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens, who, reading newspapers, live & die in the belief, that they have known something of what has been passing in the world in their time; whereas the accounts they have read in newspapers are just as true a history of any other period of the world as of the present, except that the real names of the day are affixed to their fables. General facts may indeed be collected from them, such as that Europe is now at war, that Bonaparte has been a successful warrior, that he has subjected a great portion of Europe to his will, &c., &c.; but no details can be relied on. I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors. He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false."

His proposed solution is:

"Perhaps an editor might begin a reformation in some such way as this. Divide his paper into 4 chapters, heading the 1st, Truths. 2d, Probabilities. 3d, Possibilities. 4th, Lies. The first chapter would be very short, as it would contain little more than authentic papers, and information from such sources as the editor would be willing to risk his own reputation for their truth. The 2d would contain what, from a mature consideration of all circumstances, his judgment should conclude to be probably true. This, however, should rather contain too little than too much. The 3d & 4th should be professedly for those readers who would rather have lies for their money than the blank paper they would occupy."

That's an interesting idea, thank you.

I always wonder what it was that (I don't want to get into politics in detail here) that made Trump respond almost allergically to the news about COVID early on in 2020. There's nothing about him or his general 'platform' that meant he had to reject any news about it at all outright and dig in his heels until it was too late.

He could have even fed his own authoritarian inclination and declared his own great patriotic war on COVID / made it all about him in a way. Had he done so I wonder if he still would be president ...

But he made his call. Was it because he wanted to just reject any 'bad news' or maybe it was more like you're describing? Whatever it was, he perhaps saw it as a status / power play on him in one way or another.

I really don't know but it is an interesting explanation for people's responses at times.
That might be true but my experience is that people are much better at building tooling than they are at using it properly.

So many organisations can't even get the basics of efficiency and custom service right but they still invest heavily into cutting edge tech. I can imagine plenty of companies joining the ML bandwagon and still not even really knowing what they do as a business.

I think it's necessary to draw the distinction between this occupation, and other protests, because other protests do not greatly impact the ongoing lives of random unrelated citizens in the city who just happen to live in the area for weeks on end.

So sure, we can call both protests, but the important thing is that this was also a foreign-funded occupation. So there is no value in comparing this with the protests for both left- and right- wing causes that Ottawa sees on a weekly basis. Protests that get a permit, last an afternoon, and then go home and lets people live their lives without being harassed.
Just a guess as a fan of Wim, he could be relying on testimonial by workshop participants. Needs peer review, could be placebo, etc but that’s where science starts, noticing that some variable has an effect. Wim is not a scientist but he is excited to make claims that should be tested.

To me it makes sense, my (non-expert) understanding is those diseases are cases where the body is attacking itself. The immune system is a balancing act, it is blind to what is really happening, it has to rely on a threshold of when to respond to what it senses as danger. When I breath hold and/or expose myself to cold, I feel like I am giving my body a small taste of death, recalibrating my body to what danger feels like.
On the contrary, I feel like the pandemic has revealed the fragility and asymmetric distribution of costs in our society, and the governments unwillingness to even address it. I do not consider democracy in danger, but there are some pretty serious precedents being set.

I suspect Canadians aren't concerned because for the most part Canadians have lived a very comfortable existence for a very long time due to the nature of our geopolitical privileges. I think the hyperbole tossed around regarding the convoy and blockade illustrate this.
I struggle with this. Sometimes it just doesn't take "full time" to get all my work done. I hardly ever have work roll to a future sprint, but I feel obligated to sit next to the computer in case people have questions I can help with.

I think later this year I might want to move to a product focused company instead of the consulting agency I'm at now, but I'm not sure if that will help in the way that I hope it will.
Thermal paste on CPUs usually only lasts about 5 years. Might want to consider replacing that, might help with any throttle issues. I've considered doing the same on mine, just in case.
There's been discussions about dual-port expansion cards on the Framework forums[0], but the problem is finding a chip that will pass through all the things you expect USB-C to handle over both ports. This is actually a larger problem with USB-C, as each altmode is basically a different spec that reuses the same connector, with lots of negotiation and custom electrical requirements involved. So any moderately niche application will either require custom silicon or have absurd limitations.

You could obviously wire up an off-the-shelf USB3 hub controller in such a way as to get two USB3 Type-C ports in an expansion card. (I don't think two type-As would fit.) However, you won't be able to charge the laptop, use external displays, or connect external GPUs through either of the ports... which is kind of the expectation that people have with Type-C ports. If they sold such an expansion card, there would probably be plenty of people angry that they can't just have this one card for charging and dongles, and then fill their other bays with storage drives.

Related example: fiber-optic Type-C cables for long-run use basically only come in two flavors, DP and Thunderbolt. And the source device has to use that one specific altmode; there is no downgrading to USB 3 or 2.

Nobody questioned the part about breathing oneself warm. There was even a plausible hypothesis towards the mechanism.

But there is neither a plausible mechanism nor any data that gives credit to the health effects his teachings shall provide.
>1. You can't downloaded patches of game updates

And with Steam(at this moment) there is no way to tell it to "please don't update this game and let me play this version". You can disable the automatic updates but you won't be able to run a game from the launcher if you are not uptodate because the Play button is changed to Update.
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." - H.L. Mencken

Not just the government, but collusion with institutional and social media creates a profit incentive to sow discord, divisiveness. I was alive in the eighties and remember the religious right - the attitudinal support from mainstream media, etc. Today's politics look like a secular religious left. Not much different in the dynamic of the followers/leaders, the social glare they cast, the censorship. We really do learn nothing from the past - we all think we're living in 'unprecedented times' but I see more of the same, every year.
[1] has a potential use case. Resistor networks are handy when modeling divergence-free flows through arbitrary networks with linear "costs" from a predefined origin to a predefined destination.

Kirchoff's law and Ohm's law makes things linear, and turning the optimization problem into a linear problem is very advantageous for efficiency.

Diodes are asymmetric resistors with R=0 for one direction and R=inf for the other, so represent one-way streets in the network. A voltage source would be how you define the origin location (destination location is set at ground) for recognizing different routes for flows to take. Inductors are out of scope I think since this should find the equilibrium for voltages at each node and currents across each resistor and inductors' dynamics are only interesting over time.

>Our democracy is not in danger, nor are the majority of Canadians concerned about this.

"Fully 61 percent of Americans said they approve of renewing the Patriot Act's provisions to allow for continued collection of phone data, according to a CNN/ORC poll released Monday, which had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points."

This comparison is ridiculous.

Flutter and Dart go hand in hand as the only thing people use Dart for is Flutter.

If you want to compare them you need to add React Native + React + Javascript questions together and then you'll realise how tiny Flutter is in comparison.

As someone else said - I can't even find a single Flutter job in my country but there are dozens posted for React Native daily.

Flutter is definitely a legitimate cross platform choice but it's nowhere near the most popular one.
Nothing matters unless and until it scales. There are scores of these little examples of doing this sort of thing in a lab.
Bad pipeline means bad data, and bad data means bad model. Its as simple as that.
The bottom panel isn't supported well against the internal components and it makes a hollow sound, it feels like plastic even though it is metal. Compared directly to the immediately preceding 16" it feels way less solid (I have both). It's also rather ugly, I look forward to Apple spending more time figuring out how to get those features and capacity into a case that doesn't echo boxy plastic PC laptops from 15 years ago.
> So, you never pay for anything on an app store?

I buy software from the app store for sure. But I do not pull down .apk binaries from the darkweb and run them on my phone - especially if I don't know who the author was. I doubt most sane people would download and run binaries from random websites (darkweb or not) even today.

> You host everything on your own hardware?

No I don't. I trust my hosting provider, and they have a track record of reputable service, I have a business relationship with them. I would say I know who is hosting my website.
Steam is a web app.
I don't know. Does it? You clearly have the answers.
"Things you notice when you quit paying attention to your surroundings"

What's really needed are sources of reliable information about events, particularly about events that impact directly or indirectly on your own personal situation. Usually the written form of news is more information-dense.

Understanding those events, however, does require a degree of background knowledge that 'news' will never provide; for that you need to at least read books in the subject.

Television and radio news, it's always going to be more entertainment than information, due to its audio-visual format.

However, crappy sources of information that distrort reality in order to serve the interests of a government's reelection campaign, a corporate business strategy, etc. - that's what most what is labelled 'news' today consists of. Hence the news consumer has to act as a filter, seeking the nuggets of information gold in a sewer of manufactured garbage.

There are however ways to help with the filtering although authoritarian and heirarchical societies seem to prefer to generate a dumbed-down population incapable of discerning truth from falsehood, because such a population is easier to manipulate by a small group of ruling elites. Which is what you might call the cynical view of the current status quo.

It's pretty amazing the Stadia happened at all. From day one everyone predicted how it would die, and so far it has not deviated from that course at all.
They don't seem too hard to find starting from Reddit and following the links. Or at least, there is plenty of archived fan fiction to read.
The issue with abstractions is that ML isn't just a few variables or dissimilar systems to choose from, the whole problem domain that could be helped with ML has so many dimensions. Natural language, speech processing, pattern recognition etc. are all completely different. The only thing they have in common is that you might use computers for them.

I think that is why people find ML so hard. It isn't a single sausage machine to create insight from, it is a set of entire stacks from philosophy all the way down to the electronics.
No, this just adjusted the video levels to TTL - and you had to adjust the frequencies of the monitor since the Hercules HSync/VSync frequencies were not exactly what the original Macs generated.

The QuickDraw source code (https://computerhistory.org/blog/macpaint-and-quickdraw-sour...) definitely has some color support, I think the CHM version source code is for an early version used in monochrome Macs (but there's no version number or date given).
Savelife service continuously publishes financial reports for all their activity. You can find that on their website. (We know that it's not user-friendly especially for English speaking users, updates will be soon). For example, this one is an income and expenses report for 2021-2022 years [1].

> But there's a design pattern where nearly everything is returned as an exception. It's the normal path in some code.

The problem isn’t that C++ exceptions are slow when used the way the compiler expects. The problem is a mismatch between how C++ expects you to use the feature, and how people are actually using the feature.

I can’t find the story now, but I read about this happening with Ruby on Rails. Someone dug into why rails was so slow at Twitter, and found the way rails was looping through an array was that it would loop unbounded, and catch and discard the array out of bounds exception at the end of the loop. Whenever Ruby throws, it allocates 10k of memory and fills it with all sorts of information for debugging - including a full stack trace. And it was doing this work in the background every time someone iterated through an array. Fixing this resulted in a massive speed up at Twitter, and presumably across the entire rails ecosystem.

I saw the same thing at (big tech company) a decade or so ago. I was working on a project which used GWT. We brought some people in to help us optimize, because the program was too slow. The first thing they found was that the JS VM was spending most of its time in the exception handler for some reason. Turned out one of our engineers had a habit of using throw & catch as a way to do multi level returns in complex code in Java. But the exception was being converted to a javascript exception by GWT. And javascript exceptions are (were?) super slow.

Y’all gotta stop using exceptions like that. I know it feels clever. But in most programming languages, using exceptions for control flow will kill your performance.
Agent should not be individual it should be an third party service or organization( could even by governmental) which shouldn't have uptime concerns. The policy setup would be complex to do without expert assistance anyway.
When the need for affordable housing runs up against zoning laws
You can charge a small porting fee to compensate for this.

In practice, I think this actually hurts the established guys. A big reason I prefer to buy on Steam is because the majority of my library is in Steam. A PC gaming library also has more longevity.

In general, I would be reluctant to buy multi-platform titles on the Switch. If porting was available, I would buy certain titles on the Switch or pay to move it to Switch. I would then pay to move everything over to Steam if my Switch died.
If you are interested in this topic, can't recommend this book enough: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/book.html

Eh, I think this is a major fallacy that burns a lot of potentially viable companies to the ground.

Step 1 is validate your market and produce something of value - that is the focus of the MVP.

The MVP doesn’t need to go from $0 to $bln. and it’s a red flag in my opinion of something thinks it does. If the market is already established or there are established competitors, and you’re building out more capacity then sure - but then you should already be able to build a spreadsheet with all the market variables, or you’re fooling yourself.

If you can’t do that with 1 person and random tools, it doesn’t mean that isn’t a business. It does mean it’s a higher risk of failing, and failing catastrophically, and destroying a whole lot more money in the process.
But again, the question is whether exceptions need to be slow.

If I'm writing a string_to_int function today I would return an optional<int> (or some Either variant). But if exceptions were cheap I would use them. If I'm catching an exception in the context of immediate caller and the compiler inlines the calle, it ought to be able to optimise the exceptional path away. But it doesn't happen.
You can already do that with Steam[0]. They allow publishers to generate keys for free. You could sell the keys on your own store and skip Steam's 30%(?) cut while reaping the benefits of their software delivery infrastructure. There's a fair use policy[1] involved, though.

When something happens that violates your assumptions about your own program's behavior, throwing it into a state where it doesn't know what happens next. Kind of like a panic.
I agree - this would not be international news if the police had managed the situation appropriately in the early days. What happened within OPS, nobody fully knows yet. But apparently by enacting the federal Emergencies Act, an in-depth review of the events leading up to requiring the act will be a part of the aftermath.
As a senior frontend engineer, practice makes perfect, frontend is easy-peasy. ML/AI seems to have this thick wall of math around it, if I really want to understand what makes the models going.
> machine learning and software engineering are different disciplines entirely

I don't think so. Or more precisely, they might look different academically but you need to have both as a skill to build something useful.
From my experience, I would say it's a horizontal move. I had been out of the industry for 5 years, an eternity in IT. Attempting to move into a sales-related role was my strategy to use my experience in both tech and communications and hopefully find a company willing to take a chance on me. It worked. Being able to have a friendly conversation seems to be a challenge for most IT folks. I currently enjoy not being "in the trenches" everyday putting out fires. Plus, I'm not frontline sales so I'm not on the phone all day or head-down in a contract negotiation. It's also provided a great opportunity to get up to speed with automation (looking at you, Ansible ;) and containerization on the company's dime.
