Are you obsessed with Israel or something? This isn't the first time I've seen your comments about Israel, and your submission history is just full of this topic.

Israel isn't "bombing Palestinies for decades". They're fighting back when Palestinians attack them (why did you gloss over Palestinians bombing Israel?), then there's quiet for a while, and then more fighting.

The Israeli/Palestinian relationship is very complicated with enormous history, and claims by both sides. Just because you can't distinguish it from Russia/Ukraine doesn't mean others can't.
Thank you, yes. As my buddy Jeeves would say “rem acu tetigisti”
Agreed, I had hoped Nintendo would have some quality standards, but the shovelware seems even worse than it was on the Wii. Perhaps that's because I have all those shovelware titles at my fingertips now vs having to go to a store to find Wii games (I never used the online functionality of the Wii), but in any case, it feels overwhelming.

Not that Steam is a bastion of quality (or necessarily has a better ratio of decent:shovelware titles), but by the numbers, it definitely takes the crown for quantity of decent titles (if for no other reason than it having been around much longer).
Thank you for that succinct statement "make something people want" vs. "hope that people will want what you make" -- pithy, and actionably useful.

I think you know very well that you're being asked to cite them, not merely say they exist.
I switched from a normal school to a gifted school at age 12. The biggest plus was that when all your peers have measured iq 130 or more, you do not have to feel ashamed to be "just curious" - which I believe most kids there were, albeit on very different levels.

People there really hacked themselves into all kinds of things, be it making your own PCB, learning six different languages, caring for paedomorphic salamanders, writing lyric, or building your "own" copies of popular software products. None of that seemed particularly strange to us young teenagers.
No, I won’t remove the literal topic of discussion from the topic being discussed. What the hell are you even playing at here?

The topic is Russia and Ukraine, there is no way to remove them from it. This is exactly what I mean about you throwing out fallacies and being dishonest.
It's not like Chinese media is sparkling clean either. I read their news and it very often pushes 'West is bad' mantra. Do we really believe that? What kind of reason is behind that? Why stoke the fire? Especially when we know Chinese media is controlled.

Western agitation to provoke the situation is a Chinese media talking point. It is hardly credible.

Western leaders were meeting and calling Putin around the clock in the lead up to the invasion trying to negotiate to prevent his actions.

What did China do? They ridiculed the US for 'provoking and causing trouble'. China denied an invasion was about to occur.

You might argue that it is because the west isn't trusted. Why not?? China trusted the west to take investments and have help building up industry. That benefited both parties.

If China didn't trust the US intelligence they should have acted in the right way. A simple example is:
Xi demands explanation from Putin about build up of forces near Ukraine.
Despite an invasion expecting not to occur, Xi speaks out against invasion.

Xi could have looked good on the world stage by making the right statements to defuse. Instead, no let's ridicule US.

In the West, China growth was seen as an opportunity and partnership by most up until a series of alarming events (very many, I don't want to write a novel) that occurred since Xi came to power. People didn't change opinion over night. China leadership slowly but surely undermined themselves.
Not really can't, moreso won't. It's embarrassing how small their retro games lineup is, so long after launch. And yet they're raking it in, because their extremely low quality online offering is so cheap that it doesn't matter to most.
> You might say emulation can be used with legit roms, or roms for games you’ve purchased, but let’s be honest.

I have an actual physical NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, Gamecube, and Wii, along with games. The NES and SNES don't reliably run games anymore. I expect the others to eventually follow. And emulation provides better graphics, better features, portability (e.g. playing on a device you can travel with), creativity (romhacks, translations, etc). So yes, emulation can be used with games you actually own, and doing so has great advantages.
You defer to the tv ratings and PR campaigns to define ‘civilization’.
You are talking about the GPU? Okay, really random tidbit here; When I worked at Intel I was a validation engineer for the 82786 (which most people haven't heard about) but was a graphics chip that focused on building responsive, windowed user interfaces by using hardware features to display separate windows (so moving windows moved no actual memory, just updated a couple of registers) to draw the mouse, and to process character font processing for faster updates. Intel killed it but if you find an old "Number9 video card" you might find one to play with. It had an embedded RISC engine that did bitblit and other UI type things on chip.

EVERYTHING that chip did, could in fact be done with a GPU today. It isn't, for the most part, because window systems evolved to be CPU driven, although a lot of phones these days do the UI in the GPU, not the CPU for this same reason. There is a fun program for HW engineers called "glscopeclient" which basically renders its UI via the GPU.

So I'm wondering if I misread what you said and are advocating for a different GPU micro architecture or perhaps an integrated more general architecture on the chip that could also do UI like APUs?
The author was saying we don’t have enough data to make a prediction. OC is saying we do have enough data to make reasonable assumptions if you look at high risk situations (which can reasonably be assumed to be a prerequisite to an actual disaster like death or nuclear war).

For example, take two people who have never been in a car accident. Driver A gets a speeding ticket a year and a DUI every 3 years. Driver B has never had a violation. It’s reasonable to assume that Driver A is at higher risk of a future accident. We don’t have to only look at the 0 accidents data point, we can look at factors that are typically common in accidents like speed and alcohol.
To clarify -- I looked at the leaflet again -- it says "meets slight resistance" and "about 2.5cm".

The leaflet -- includes the instructions for swabbing children:

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

This one is slightly different to mine. It's obviously been revised somewhat since I got my kit; mine dates to the 15th of January last year, whereas the PDF dates from December.

Mine says, for example, "firm contact" instead of "good contact" for the throat swab. And "roll the swab firmly around the inside of the nostril", and definitely not "no force is needed". No "gently" in it. The "firm" wording is there for the "testing a child" section, too.

So it's not quite brain-ticklingly bad (the PCR tests used to be apparently) but for me at least, the discomfort is intense once the swab is twirled... it just gets worse and worse. By the time of the tenth (!) rotation I am ready to murder.

If it said half an inch, it'd be totally another matter.

And this is after you've swabbed your tonsils (or where your tonsils were if they were removed!) several times, so, you know... your senses are already on full alert.

I am definitely over-sensitive on these things, to be sure (and that fits with the sort of person I am on other levels -- sensitive skin, anxiety, etc.; like generalised sensitivity). And maybe you do get used to them.

And I have never tested positive despite symptoms. But the tests themselves seem to be very accurate judging by what I have read. Still, I'd rather be hit with a spear gun than do this more than absolutely necessary.

I'm not convinced they were any use against Omicron mind you, and I think the jury is still out on that.
One way to reduce the risk is to situate the dish as far as possible from the Starlink router, and again house the router as far as reasonably possible from yourself.

I did this with a pet dog weighing about 80 pounds. I think this device would just get in the way honestly.

Tips: Don’t start with seeds. Use a tree farm sized tree (I think mine was 100 gallon container). Or something established. Growing trees from seed is time consuming and the slightest thing can kill it. Now, since you already have the need to dig, toss yourself into a burlap bag and jump in the hole before placing the tree and backfilling.

A few years later, the tree is looking great and occasionally I talk to it when I’m missing that dog.
>access to the knowledge

Having 'access to knowledge' is one thing. Believing that knowledge - say, from personal experience of it applying to people you know - is privilege.
The proposals are shocking in how broad and how naive they are, but the submission title is clickbait. The WEF is not proposing a "trust digital agency", it's proposing that "trusted digital agents" could be created, and they would have agency in the digital realm.[0]

Basically they want people to give power of attorney over to an AI programmed by some large corporation so that your digital life can be bought and sold, and your access to commerce and government services (and human rights, like freedom of speech and assembly) can be limited at the click of a button, or on the whim of an algorithm, with no humans in the loop to stand in the way of government-corporate diktats.

You basically just went through this same dilemma as me. I think you're completely right, I'm going to do the same thing and get a full-time job and experiment in my free time with first selling various ideas and see what sticks. Hopefully I can learn about the process and improve myself in that area where I'm very weak.

Thanks for the encouragement, good luck to you as well!
Good news is that SSDs are only 160x slower for random reads, so maybe we should just beef up L3 or L4 cache and get rid of ram? /s
To me it's the responsiveness of older shooters. No slow self indulgent reload animations. No break in control as an animation plays out as you climb a ladder. No or not many cut scenes. No scripted events (never understood modern warfare, it was basically an on rails shooter).

I don't know which APIs are best for developer experience, but I can describe what makes some of them harder to use than they could be.

1. Poor documentation. Good API documentation is clear, concise, descriptive (i.e. doesn't return properties named "data" or "info").

2. No examples, or terrible examples. The documentation should show clear examples of every function, including the format of the API call, details of the expected return value, and possible errors and what they mean. Examples should be code a developer can run from curl or Postman.

3. Examples in obscure languages. It's not possible to cover every language so write the documentation in terms of plain HTTP, then give examples in the most common languages you expect to support. For web APIs those will be PHP, Javascript, Java, C#. API examples written only in Clojure or Elixir make it harder for the majority of developers to start using the API.

4. Unclear how to authenticate. Explain the authentication process. APIs usually require some kind of authentication, like a token or shared secret. Explain the authentication requirements with clear examples. If the tokens expire explain that. Give examples that work.

5. No easy way to test. If your product offers an API give developers a way to test their integration in a free sandboxed environment. I don't want to have to set up a real paid account to test. I don't want to charge a real credit card to see if that works. I don't want to try potentially dangerous things in a live production environment.

6. Over-engineering. Don't add too many options or variations, or return overly-complex responses.

7. Too many API calls required. If I want to get a list of users let me get their names and other relevant information in one call. I've seen APIs that will return just a list of user IDs, then require another API call to get the name of each user in that list. This is like selecting all IDs from a database then iterating over them to select each name. Think about how developers will actually use the API, don't make it so atomic that every operation requires multiple high-latency operations, any of which can time out or fail.

8. Too much friction to get started. Don't make me sign up for an account or a sales call to get access to the documentation and API sandbox.

9. Poor choice of response format. Prefer JSON over XML. Sometimes you need XML but 90% of the APIs I see that return XML could have sent back a text string or simple JSON.

10. Breaking changes. Version your API from the start so you can support developers who used a previous version while enhancing the API. An API should not change suddenly in a way that breaks working applications that use it.
How to Count Things (2020)
the code appears to just do a smooth extrapolation from some past value.

it claims that (magnetic) disk seek is 2ms these days. since when did we get sub-4ms average seek time drives?

it also seems to think we're reading 1.115GiB/s off of drives now. transfer rate on the even the largest drives hasn't exceed 300MiB/s or so, last i looked.

("but sigstoat, nvme drives totally are that fast or faster!" yes, and i assume those fall under "SSD" on the page, not "drive".)

I have to disagree hard on this. Nintendo was on the forefront of making old games playable on the new hardware. On the switch you can play many old SNES and N64 classics included in the Nintendo online subscription at ~2-4€ a month.

They re-released childhood favorites like Zelda Ocarina of Times and Super Mario 64 on the 3DS and I actually bought the 3DS (in a special Zelda variant no less) just for that and Majora's Mask. I had a blast.

In comparison Steam and PC in general was late to the party of remastering old games or even just keeping them playable. Getting old Win 98 or even some XP titles running is often a challenge and sometimes borderline impossible.
New Laravel Package: Laravel Module Generator
I'm pretty happy with Hugo+Netlify, but I've never tried Jekyll.

Pros:

- TOML syntax for Frontmatter data in markdown content
- The `data` folder which can contain JSON, TOML, CSV, and YAML
- The layout system, once you get used to it is pretty straightforward

Cons:

- Go templating, I wish I had Jinja2 or the Django engine
- Partials can't be used as shortcodes and vice-versa, this makes reusability tricky
- URLs not ending with / use a redirection to the trailing / URL, which is not SEO friendly

NB:

- I'm not using the pipeline system for assets, I use sass (scss) and lunr.js (search engine) separately to generate files in the `static` folder
- For reusability, I'm using a homemade lib[0] to build web components
- I've found themes and archetypes to be pretty useless

I've tried to setup Netlify CMS to allow a non-technical user to update the content of the website. But the experience was atrocious. It's still nowhere near a Wordpress. Which is pretty important if you want to put your "marketing website" in the hands of sales people.

Here's what I thought was really great about this: My family originated in a European country not included in the list. In the 1600s (maybe even late 1500s) we took refuge in one of these countries that allowed a degree of religious tolerance in a specific area. Over the next century, many picked up and came to the new world.

Anyway, point being it was really neat to see my family name still in that very specific area, despite it being a name that would automatically stand out even today as "not from around here."
I can't speak for other countries but emulators are 100% legal in the United States.

I'm not denying that is one use case, what I'm saying is that it's very unlikely it's the regular one.

Nintendo's argument is basically that even if that were true, just because you purchased it once doesn't give you the right to it indefinitely. You might disagree with that, but that's their stance (when you buy e-Shop games you don't even get access across Nintendo consoles).

For the games that have cartridges, sure. When I bought a "physical copy" of Puyo Puyo Tetris, I thought it would be a cartridge but it was just a code to redeem inside a case. Waste of plastic if you ask me.
It's an interesting idea but a lot of care is needed to avoid parsing bugs. I.e. the code you are feeding to the shell via "eval" doesn't not get parsed in some way you don't expect. Also, parsing the script source code, need to be careful and clear about the parse rules. In that case, it's not as dangerous since the script source code is presumably not provided by an attacker (otherwise they could just directly run the commands they want).
fairly sure this is just a user agent gating. There's nothing about a video call that cannot be done through chrome obviously.
Personally I think evolutionary psychology is a bunch of BS in particular it falls down pretty hard in many areas of human sexuality such as ‘why do women have orgasms?’ That won’t stop it from being popular with so-called rationalists and blackpill incels.

Taking the opposite perspective (fiction is a valid means of knowing) I would refer the OP to Robert Greene’s Art of Seduction which was a jumping off point for me studying the subject, the references in that book are really worth reading even if using it as a self-help book can be outright dangerous.

Also there is Stendahl’s classic On Love which I find charming.

The reason why Cory Doctorow gives/gave away his books for free (earlier in his career?) is because obscurity is a bigger problem than piracy for most authors.

If people are pirating your books that's a "good" problem to have because people are actually aware of you and your work.
You're right! The only fair solution is to drop Grischuk in central Kyiv; if he survives the journey to Norway and arrives on time, he should be allowed to play.
