I see it as another example of a basic clash of cultures - between someone who is competence-oriented, and someone who is status-and-hierarchy oriented.

They're speaking different languages and seeing different things.

Parsons - like many politicians - sees situations exclusively as status and power plays. So when someone with low status says "This is broken", of course he goes on the attack.

It's inconceivable in his world that someone might be trying to warn him about a real problem that needs to be fixed. At best he sees it as an attack on his position, at worst he turns it into a mini-campaign he can use for political gain.

The fact there was a real problem is irrelevant and invisible to him. It's simply not something that interests him.
The community handled the situation in a manner appropriate to the medium. They decided to follow an altered chain that did not include the transactions they objected to.

A minority disagreed and followed the original chain, which continues to this day and can be traded on major exchanges. You can buy and sell on either or both of those chains, or not, as you like. So given all that, is there still a problem?
There are good open source solutions that wrap all required services into an almost fire and forget docker setup, like Mailcow.
The siblings mention some good ones, but another for Steam in particular is the console-like experience available via Big Picture mode. Not only is this a significant aesthetic/ergonomic step up from how you launch software directly from the desktop OS, but it's also able to do some niceties like automatically handling controller mapping— for example, presenting your PlayStation or Switch pad to games as an xinput device (which is the universal standard for PC gaming).
we forget that before Steam, the digital downloads for AAA games scene was the wild effin' west. no idea if this ever changed but if you bought Spore at launch, you were limited in the number of times you could download and activate your purchased copy... and if you wanted more, you had to pay for it when the time came. without Steam we might still see various publishers imposing weird restrictions like this.

Unfortunately, most cryptocurrency supporters have been more focused on increasing the fiat price (so they can cash out to fiat and become rich), than on increasing adoption so that you can spend your crypto directly.

Sadly, as long as this hype fueled bubble remains, I doubt much will change.
Ah right.

I would cancel a project if it couldn't pay its own infrastructure bill after 6 months.

If I had to name a goal for the second year, it's to reach $1k MRR across everything I sell online. I still have plenty of ideas for OnlineOrNot, but there are a few APIs I built internally that I could see others paying for (that I'll be testing if people would, actually, before building).
Pretty sure things were just as shitty in 2017
...It's a fully self-perpetuating organism. If it can do everything it needs to then yes. It's a miracle.
That was really shocking for me the first time I went to China and watched their version on state sponsored television, around 2005. The contrast between the doom version of the news back home, to china's overly positive "15 people are missing in a coal mine but we are trying our darnedest to get them out" was really confronting. Made me realise that it has entertainment/manipulation as a goal, not providing information.
I wonder what the cost is compared to the current process?
I also wonder which chemicals they'll target next.
I agree with your assessment.

To completely quit news is not a good idea, unless you want to live under a rock, metaphorically speaking.

Fact of the matter is, day-to-day events affect each one of us who live in a modern society. You don't want to be the guy who has no mask and 0 preparation for a pandemic when it hits. You don't want to be the guy who keeps buying/using a product when there's news circulating that it could be unsafe.

The author mentioned reading a 5000-word report, which is great if you're into that sort of things. But the mass majority of people have jobs to work, kids to take of, important things to do. They don't have time to spend hours every day reading deep into all the issues going on in the world.

Most people just want to stay up to date with the latest events, so they can plan their lives better.

Of course you can get addicted to news and let it negatively affect you. But the alternative of having no idea what's going on in the world until it's on your doorstep is not a good idea either.

A balance is good. Stuff like limiting yourself to spending 15 minutes in the morning during breakfast quickly going over important news, and making a commitment to not waste more time reading news for the rest of the day.
Th problem is that the corpus of deployed libraries is a de facto ABI. Even with dylib versioning, catching the case of API version is hard.

I think it could be done by changing the mangling algorithm (basically: compile fails if new-ABI versions are not available) but I haven't thought enough about it to remove the words "I think" from the beginning of the sentence.
I, too; abandoned Parallels for VMware, after I found Parallels to be increasingly unstable and bloated.
Last time I tried to do something at the IRS website, I had to turn on my camera and have my face compared to the face they have on file to proceed. I don't think login.gov has that level of verification. Whether the IRS needs that level of verification is another question.
A fair perspective. It's also possible that your isolation from media has let you return to see what was wrong with that media all along. Possibly you were simply blind to how bad it was before, or just used to it.

I concur that it is worse than it was, but I would say 10-30% worse not "completely different."

It would be nice if there was a little less hate generally.
I'm curious as to that one. As launchers go it's excellent, so I'm not sure if they want to get rid of it or expand it out to support more things - after all Microsoft, who can't even get app updates to work correctly in their own windows store on their own game launcher, just bought it along with a bunch of other stuff. I guess I should be annoyed that more non-blizzard stuff will end up on it, but boy oh boy has that particular ship sailed.
I disagree with this. But, I'm also a fan of the condition system in Common Lisp.

That is, if the problem is likely one that needs operator/user intervention, the non local semantics of exceptions makes a ton of sense. Indeed, it is useful to have a central handler of "things went wrong" in ways that is cumbersome if every place is responsible for that.
To add to mwcampbell's response, my cofounder Amby proposed a possible solution:

> But now that we are looking at the bigger picture, we could implement full-fledged accessibility support where we serialize the accessibility tree and send that over instead of the video stream.

What are your thoughts on this approach?
> Is there a specific use-case you're thinking of?

The OP mentioned a tutoring use case. If you're going to sell this to educational institutions or companies that serve them, at least in the US, then accessibility is important.
The term "carbon negative" is getting overused a lot, and this is one example...

The carbon is not removed permanently, it's stored in products that will eventually end up in an incinerator causing CO2 (or worse, on a landfill, where their degredation may cause even more harmful greenhouse gases).
The absolute hubris to declare this "first principles level knowledge on the topic of Russia/Ukraine" and telling people to catch up on it first and yet get it clearly wrong making false statements. Gorbachev is literally on record saying there was NOT an agreement. You've barely made it past complete ignorance on this history.

Steam is very convenient for users, many people won't even consider buying a game if it's not on Steam. I guess they have more potential sales this way.
It may be safer than places like the ISS and antarctic outposts. ISS is un-shielded and vulnerable with out-dated technology and aging equipment. More people means more redundancy. Arctic outposts can go weeks or months without any hope of support or rescue.

A moon base with a 3 day turnaround and dedicated return hardware would be pretty safe relatively speaking. The moon doesn't really DO much. The weather is 100% predictable since there is no atmosphere. Seismic activity is nil. Asteroid and debris impacts are much rarer than in LEO. In addition you have plenty of moon soil for burying inflatable structures.

You would absolutely NEED nuclear or hydrogen fuel cells since nights are 2 weeks long. Life support is easier than in orbit because you have a giant mass of moon to cool the air in your habitat instead of needing an ammonia based heat pump.

Economically speaking, if Starship performs as advertised at $20/kg to LEO, it is totally doable. They are talking about $2 million per launch. To put it into perspective, a chartered 747 costs about $30k per hour. A ten hour flight in a 747 costs about 1/6 of a Starship flight to orbit. When they say "Game Changer" they aren't just blowing smoke.
I posted the source above. It was an assertion from the Canadian government.

The Poetic Programming Language
Occupy Wall Street was started by a group of organized Canadians and they blocked access to NYSE facilities. OWS was obviously an occupation (it’s right there in the name), but the better question is: was OWS a protest, too? If so, why can’t this be called one as well?

There are generally more parallels between OWS and the truckers than people are willing to recognize, because there’s been a hell of an inversion: if you supported OWS 10 years ago you probably don’t like the truckers today and if you like the truckers you probably weren’t for OWS 10 years ago. There are a handful of Tim Pools that like both, and there are elites that disliked both, but the average person has to do some gymnastics.

All that I ask is that everyone is consistent: if OWS is a protest, then this is too. If you don’t like that Americans funded the truckers, you have to be willing to call out that OWS took place in NYC but formed from a Canadian nonprofit.
You're right, the issue is convoluted and nuanced. There are architecture issues, cache sizes and layers to consider, cost of misses and writes, alignment and bus sizes.

Oh for the good ol days when register size was all you had to think about!
The compiler makes them part of the API. And what a lot of people do is just throw in a bunch of blanket catches with empty code. Although some of this is server vs. desktop software - the article was about complex GUI apps, not long running servers. Tho I personally think long-running servers shouldn't use exceptions. Each call to something out of the running code stack frame should explicitly decide what to do on failure or "didn't hear back." That's how your server gets to be bullet proof (and by bullet proof, I don't mean "auto-restarts on unhandled exception.")
I think you need to find some sort of "savior" in a hobby or something more than that. But maybe a hobby is going to be enough and you need something bigger in picture...maybe take some volunteering work. Anything that satisfies your search for meaning of life.

Emergency powers passed by a simple majority is also ridiculous. How come it’s not 2/3 or 3/4. So if you have a majority in parliament feel free to just declare emergencies at your leisure?
Conservative speech didn’t get censored on other platforms…

What’ll be funny is when that stark reality hits home, and the only uniquely allowed speech will be actual hate speech, that unambiguously evil stuff that pulls the mask off too far and gets banned for it.
I dropped them when they changed their licensing model and I realized I could use Docker to replace it for my purposes.
That's always been my perspective. I'm going to take the radical position that not everyone in the government can be trusted, so we have to assume that there are bad actors who are going to abuse their power and use the questionably-obtained information to their advantage.

I'm not a fan of that, and the only way I can think of to avoid this being an issue is for them not to have the information in the first place.

"Need" is a strong word, one that I don't think the actual experts (on policy and governance) would use either.

Rather they would talk about efficiency of the system. People who have more knowledge allow the system to move with greater inertia than if you were constantly changing out all the folks.

There is an optimization problem here, throw away everyone all the time and your lack of institutional knowledge will cause work to be redone more often than desired. Cycle none of those in power, and there is a lack of incentive to evolve along with other systems as they change.
I really wish that people would have protested without going overboard, the support would have grown a lot more. (Not making blanket statement that everyone who was part of protest went overboard)

I am not supportive of vaccine mandates and fully support people's right to control what is injected in their bodies. I don't support people getting fired because they are unvaccinated and all the other negative consequences of mandates.

We are in terrible and disappointing situation and can only hope that saner heads will prevail.
Tell them you're moving to an unspecified international location. Usually that's a script flowchart path that actually allows them to cancel you.
When a dog is in pain, it makes a short high pitched noise.

Reference: my dog has problems with his hips and likes to jump... Suddenly the pain kicks in.

To me that feeling is both our survival instinct projecting, and our social/bonding self that anticipates the pain of others, something most people dread dearly.
When it comes to magazine subscriptions, I just cancel payment via credit card dispute, it auto-resolves itself. Generally I frown upon this kind of thing but yeah it's so hard to cancel that you sort of have to pick the nuclear option with them.
I didn't claim he wasn't a dictator. I claimed comparing him to Stalin, Mao and Hitler was bizarre. I still think that's bizarre, although I credit that some people may disagree sincerely. For me, it's bizarre because I think Stalin, Mao and Hitler are primarily known for being totalitarian rulers who each are responsible for the deaths of millions to tens of millions of people.

Trudeau, on the other hand, recently won re-election in what is generally accepted to have been a free and fair election and which was, in large part, a referendum on his handling of the coronavirus. This is relevant because his invocation of the Emergencies Act is related to protests about how he has handled coronavirus.

Even so, his invocation of the Emergencies Act was successful only because, in a minority parliament, he convinced another party to support him. Additionally, Doug Ford, a provincial premier of a third, different, party requested him to invoke it.

That's just... not dictatorial, totalitarian or mass murder-y to me. And again, I say this as someone who does not like Trudeau, does not generally like the Liberal party, and has never supported them.
My country lets me use Google's SSO (arguably should probably also support Apple and have better 2FA options) - why wouldn't yours?

If someone wants to use facial recognition - why not? If someone wants to use insecure username/password and risk a compromise - let them do it.

FWIW big tech has probably 99.99% of people's faces, I'd guess at least 90% is tied to an identity.

I think a lot of people just boldly assume "you won in court, so there was no damage" because they have 1- Never had to win in court and/or 2- Have so much money that going to court doesn't materially inconvenience them.

The legal system is great if you can afford it, but often times you get exactly as much justice as you can afford. There's a reason that, despite the societal harm they individually account for, drug offenses get much more jail time than "white collar crimes".

That said, the State attacking private citizens(this is what court cases are, an attempted attack to inflict financial damages or jail time) for checks notes alerting the State that it isn't properly protecting its citizens, is not something that should be solely handled with a penalty of "possibly not winning reelection".
You probably want to send the accessibility tree in addition to the video stream, not instead of it. Luckily the Chromium accessibility tree can already be serialized and pushed, because Chromium does that between the renderer and browser processes.
This company should have a wikipedia article at this point, right? Where is it?

I think that has no sound legal basis but I also don't think that's practical. A launcher like steam isn't just a client-side application and I don't think it makes sense to compel some company to incur the costs of supporting their competitor's customers, which is what that would amount to.
>to provide downloads

There are 2 problems with this.

1. You can't downloaded patches of game updates (with good ux). You would need to downloaded the entire game for every update which is bad.

2. You can't install the game to the system without a program.

>and payments from their website

Steam can provide less friction to make a payment since someone likely already has payment information attached to their account. A 25% cut is worth it if they can make more than 25% revenue than they otherwise would have made.

There is also the marketing potential of being in the steam store. Gamers looking for a new game can see / find your game. You can see people on your friends list playing your game. You can see friends reviewing the game or getting achievements on your feed.
Nothing, because of the 5th amendment.

You pay taxes on stolen gains. The IRS is explicitly forbidden from reporting the gains themselves.
It would. On the other hand multiprocessing with explicitly shared memory could be a fast (but potentially painful) workaround.
True but also libraries and people thinking differently. Numeric is not real-time, tho it has many common characteristics.
I agree, Crimea is not relevant to the discussion of whether the most likely analog is Abkhazia/SO or Munich/Danegeld. That was my point in bringing it up. It was a conditional part of your argument, but I think it was an orthogonal issue.

My other two points were that there are strong practical reasons why a full Ukrainian invasion is quite unlikely and why a full withdrawal was quite unlikely ("quagmire" and no Minsk 2 implementation, respectively).

I'm not a fan of terms like "territorial aggression", not that it's not apt (Russia invading is clearly aggression, even a meaningful threat is "aggression" according to the UN charter), but such phrases are often used as a substitute for the actual motivating factors, and hence, used as a way to obfuscate the substantive issues. I still think there is a more straightforward and practical explanation.

> And I don't think Minsk 2 was a bluff. Neither Ukraine nor Russia are honoring it. Ukraine needs to stop implementing discriminatory language and education laws, and seriously seek to implement some form of regional autonomy. Russia needs to withdraw its forces (it was pretending it hadn't deployed any).

Putin is not consumed with abstract "territorial aggression", looking at a globe with flames in his eyes (I'm not accusing you of that, I'm just having fun, and making a broader point about some of the international relations phrases that are kindof weasel words in my opinion).
> to eat without talking to one another

In Russian culture eating is a process not to be distracted from. Historically, this could be seen as a sign of respect on the part of a poor peasant for the food and all the hard labor that went into producing it.
Rather than inventing an agenda for me from whole cloth, you could try just reading the comments I’m replying to and refuting instead to understand hat I’m saying in context.

Rust Compiler Ambitions for 2022
Why would this have anything to do with Battle.net? There are not insignificant portions of the playerbase fully bought into that ecosystem (like... every World of Warcraft player, for a start.) The Launcher itself has been around for almost 10 years; the network has been around for twice that. Bethesda's launcher on the other hand was always an afterthought.
Pitch Deck Teardown with DocSend and Zendesk
this is a false dichotomy.
I'm the textbook "i do not watch the news person" and when things like Covid happen you cannot just ignore them.

Not only that, but there are many things where paradoxically I'm better informed than people "watching the news". You see, there is being informed and there is actually spending your mental resources on problems you don't have or you have 0 say in them.

to debunk some of the things you brought up:
- you don't decide to go to Ukraine and you book your vacation without at any point learning about this (you will learn about this from the booking agency, you will learn about this at the airport, you will learn about this from people around you). The odds of you landing in Ukraine are 0 unless you really want to go there.

- if you drive a a VW you may not be in a position to stop driving it. Choosing your car based on a scandal screams privilege. You may choose to pick your next car based on it, but again: you will learn about this no matter way. Other car manufacturers will tell you, people around you will tell you about how crappy VW is when you bring it up (are you going to buy it solo without talking with anyone?).

- work for Facebook: it's cool to hate Facebook and I have personally stopped using it eons ago. But not suspecting that some of the things that they are doing aren't exactly heavenly and ending up working there? again, the odds are zero

- use to much water? how can you be in a drought season and not see the drought. Also: everyone likes capitalism until the fish from the lake is depleted. If you can afford to use the water and pay for it, why not? The pricing should be tiered in such a way that there is a strong incentive against you using the water - we should not expect people to just do the right thing. this rarely work s without economic incentives.

- BBQ in during fire season? I think there are legal and economic things in place that should prevent this.
- using condoms? really? really? you're gonna put the equal sign between the news and basic sex ed. really?
