On the other hand scaling lets me still enjoy fights even when I'm leveled up. A lot of times when the game takes you to one of the starting regions, one shotting the enemies there just felt boring. It would be much better if the enemies levelled up just a bit so that the fight is still engaging but not easy. A better approach than level scaling would be making those enemies change their move set or tactics later on.

That said I get your points about harder enimies being scaled down to the players level. This could be fixed with a smarter scaling system and i guess a lot of games today do it
Figure 1(c) refers to the reviewer being outside the team of developers.

I suspect there’s an interesting relationship between age of author, age of reviewer, and perhaps the identity demographics.
Well dang, what’s it called when a human doesn’t pass the Turing test?
Exactly. Every enemy placement is relevant to the lore. Even their moves, spells, incantations tell you something about the backstory. This was what I like in the Souls series, but they had a "linear" path. To think they pulled this off in one of the most massive maps in a video game (without any DLCs!) is incredible.

I've thought Hawking was being a bit over-marketed since the Star Trek Deep Space Nine episode where they place him next to Newton and Einstein as three great physicists in history. That scene was a lot of fun and I'm glad they did it. But there's a lot of room for being a great physicist without being a Newton or an Einstein, and that does seem to apply to Hawking, even if you agree completely with this article.

I think they could just put "auto scale difficulty" in settings. Players who want a challange can turn it off, others can run through the world easily and feel like they beat the game.

I get the sentiment, but I feel like this mentality more often than not backslides into the film equivalent of “it’s not my fault you’re too dumb to understand my movie” when creatives decide to make things more opaque without laying out the info needed to put it all together.

If you’ve got a story/experience to share you don’t have to make it for the lowest common denominator, but I’m sure you want more people to experience it than not. If something feels capricious or arbitrary, regardless if it is or isn’t, people tend to walk. At some point the creator has to bridge the gap.

There’s a reason FromSoftware ditched the bonfires/saves being so far from bosses like in DS1. It was needlessly punishing in a game already designed to constantly kill you and ruined people’s “grooves.”
You started out talking about '#1 university brand', and now you want to pretend you mean the Carnegie categories? Come off it. Not only are they much too coarse-grained, but they're also (by design) US-centric.

I'm at somewhere way less prominent than either, but even I can see that there are way more than 1 prestige tiers between MIT and ASU.

But of far greater concern is your bizarre condescending tone. You even told me to do my research. Are you an antivaxxer?
Yes. There's nothing to talk about.
The CSV "standard" is from 2005. Using ; as separator was common in germanic countries for decades before the standard was even written (and CSV was commonly understood as character separated values there).

You can’t easily redefine an existing standard just because you don’t like what everyone else has been doing for the past few decades.

As said, use TSV, which has been standardized for much longer, if you want compatibility.

Some very high percentage of mobile devices, when using mobile data, are on IPv6 and preferentially connect using IPv6. I think 80% of Meta traffic is IPv6.

Lots and lots and lots of people use IPv6.

I have to say though the BOFHesque attitude shown in this thread by a number of people has convinced me never to touch Alpine linux. I can already see exactly what sort of attitude towards users and input the developers encourage and that sort of ivory tower shit has absolutely zero appeal.
I find much better content on TV than in movies these days. My favourite format is probably the mini-series, where a self contained story is told properly, with no openings for a second season or franchise opportunity.

One of the best and strangest TV shows I have watched is The Leftovers. If you want something different check it out. Season 3 is sublime.

> His reasoning for why movies are more boring was simple: money.

If you look back at the best movies throughout history, a lot of them were made outside the Hollywood system. It's easy to think that movies today are worse than Apocalypse Now or Star Wars, while forgetting that those movies also couldn't get made in their day.
Apple has been doing that for ages, see e.g. the iTunes music store or Apple Music.

There's some easy leveling routes. This takes about 2-4 hours:

1) Do the boulder farm for the initial 30-40 levels. Requires no killing or gear.

2) Go kill the first two bosses in the first zone (use coop summoning)

3) Do a quest to get to a really high level area and a specific easy farming spot

4) Shoot a bird so that it runs off of a cliff and do that until you're level 120 or so

However, it's unlikely you'd have figured that out within the game itself. If you're genuinely playing, you'll try to level within the zone you're in by finding the easiest enemies that give the most XP (runes) because that's what most games have you do.

Casual players should just consult external resources if they want to try these games.
This gets pondered everywhere but product placement was worse in the beginning of television like the "The Colgate Comedy Hour" and it's abbreviations from Coke etc. or the characters from sponsors directly integrated into the plot of a tv show. Imagine your favorite character going into the kitchen making a coffee and the coffee salesperson comes in and makes a 5-minute pitch. You can say about modern advertisement what you want but it was way more subliminal in the beginning.
"Children, in contrast, came up with new solutions and often remained in their original position."

Basically, kids fooled around and played while the adults tried to complete the task as quickly as possible as get on with reality.

I didn't play Morrowind. I started to play Skyrim but once I realized I was dealing with a scaling system I went digging. You can level too fast in Bethesda games (eg [1]). I believe this was worse in Oblivion but it's still an issue.

The problem is it forces me into decisions I don't want to make. I don't want to choose between levelling too fast and potentially making my experience playing the game worse (since enemies may get more relatively powerful). There is a world of difference betweenn monotonically increasing character power and character power that might decrease.

That turned me off the entire game.

It's a sad day. I had hopes from DDG, but with this, they join the same train as the rest. There will be no unbias internet with this mindset.
Agreed 100%. Slapping a REST api over a software is like reducing that software to a set of resources and attribute updates over those resources. And that never feels like the right way to talk with a software. That could be convenient for the majority of crud apps out there, but not everything we build is a crud system. For example how would you design operations on a cloud word processor as REST apis?

A better perspective would be, most softwares can be viewed as a set of domain specific objects and the set of operations (verbs) that can happen to those objects. These operations may not be a single attribute update, but a more complex dynamic set of updates over a variety of business objects. If you try to model this with a REST api, it either quickly becomes chatty or you end up compromising on REST principles.

GraphQL seems to make much more sense than REST, IMO.
Well, Newton and Hawking did both hold the same chair. If Cambridge is willing to put them beside each other Im not going to complain about Star Trek doing the same.

I am using an older Intel NUC with a Coffee Lake U CPU, together with 4 USB Ethernet adapters, to increase the number of Ethernet ports to 5.

The measured average power over 24 hours is around 12 to 13 W. The idle power is under 10 W and the maximum power consumption can be up to 60 W, but even a large number of active network services, e.g. firewall, e-mail server, Web server and Web proxy, DNS server and DNS proxy, NTP server and so on, require just a power consumption not much above the idle level.

I assume that a NUC-like computer with a Jasper Lake CPU should have an average power consumption under 10 W. At least with Intel or AMD CPUs and associated peripherals you do not have to worry about software compatibility.
Elden Ring is one of many open world ARPG's. Souls games were unique and untouchable. now ER is in human form outside its safety bounds, and being invaded.

The game's supposed to compete with Monster Hunter, Final Fantasy, Elder Scrolls, Dragons Dogma, etc. And how can it? You don't have a party, you don't have quests, you don't have a narrated story, nor giant enemies who react to weaknesses and have special ways to be fought.

What's the difference between your first handcrafted Draugr cave filled with traps in Skyrim, and your first handcrafted goblin cave filled with traps in Elden Ring? I think, it's that one came out 11 years ago.

Operation Desert Storm: Evaluation of the Air Campaign [pdf]
"...There was no consistent pattern indicating that the key to success in target
outcomes was the use of either guided or unguided munitions. On average,
targets where objectives were successfully achieved received more guided
and fewer unguided munitions than targets where objectives were not
determined to have been fully achieved. But in several target categories,
the reverse was true. Nor were there major differences in the apparent
effect of platform type on strike performance. When attacking the same
targets with LGBs, the F-111Fs reported achieving only a slightly greater
target hit rate than the F-117s. Similarly, there was little difference in the
rates of success achieved by F/A-18s and F-16s when delivering the MK-84
unguided munition...

...The results of our analyses did not support the claim for LGB effectiveness
summarized by “one target, one bomb.” Moreover, planners apparently
ordered restrikes either because BDA revealed that one bomb did not
achieve target objectives or they did not believe that “one target, one
bomb” was being achieved.
...
Desert Storm data also do not clearly support a number of major DOD
claims for the F-117. For example, according to some, the accuracy of the
F-117 in combat may have been unprecedented; our estimates of the bomb
hit rate for the F-117 show that it was between 55 and 80 percent. Of equal
importance, the rate of weapon release for the F-117 during Desert Storm
was only 75 percent—largely because of a weather abort rate far higher
than for other strike aircraft. Thus, the effectiveness of scheduled F-117
strikes was between 41 and 60 percent.

And the accuracy and effectiveness of the TLAM was less than generally perceived.
Our analysis of manufacturers’ claims revealed the same pattern of
overstatement. All the manufacturers whose weapon systems we reviewed
made public statements about the performance of their products in Desert
Storm that the data do not fully support. And while the manufacturers’
claims were often inaccurate, their assertions were not significantly
different from, nor appreciably less accurate than, many of the statements
of DOD officials and DOD reports about the same systems’ performance in
Desert Storm..."
Probably one of the questions here is how your company defines Senior. I’ll assume we actually mean “senior” and not “We give out senior to anyone with more than 3 years of experience because the title make it easier to hire.”

I don’t think those requirements are very much for senior. The first four bullets are “can you own your code through into production,” and the last one is critical to build a healthy organization that can build up new people.

Honestly, if anything I feel like there’s a trend to expect less from developers because the market is so tight, you can’t push people to grow for fear they’ll jump ship. Many developers are allowed to become “advanced beginners” where they’re just getting really good at one small part of the stack.

And if that’s all you want, to be a badass (React Dev | Golang Dev | SRE) etc, that’s fine, but unless you’re truly at a company massive enough to support deep specialization, that’s not being senior.

> Unfortunately, hardly any tutorials pointed this out and used their own CA for everything instead.

I think this is one of the reasons so few people consider using TLS auth. There aren't many guides out there, and many of the ones that are easily accessible use a custom CA deployment that's an absolute pain to manage (custom TLS certs on websites with a custom ACME server or manual certificate generation, and so on).

Sometimes I feel like writing my own guide, but I'm not 100% confident that I'd get everything right.

I get the feeling UEFI can never be entirely secure with the set of functionality it offers and thus huge surface it is exposing.

I like this idea. In an "agile" and "sprinty" environment a team can work and deliver then "rest" while product/user feedback metrics are collected for a week to determine if the delivered solution is a "success" and achieved desired outcomes or needs to be iterated on again.

BS: Have a question? Ask us via this very useful secure messaging form!

Me: Great! Can you explain the difference between these two arcane out-of-pocket limits that you display that are un-Googleable and nowhere in your documentation that I can never find anyway?

BS: Sure! We will wait two days and then send you an email suggestively titled "a response to your inquiry" that really just contains an attached PDF with a link to a completely different portal where you have to register a new account to download an image of a scanned fax that tells you to call customer service where you can wait on hold forever to answer whatever question it was you had that we also don't remember! Yay secure messaging!

Me: Wow such technology! I now very understand the difference between "out of pocket max" and "max out of pocket max"! I feel much secure that I won't go bankrupt the next time I have an incident and get treated by the wrong doctor at the right hospital! Thanks, 2022!

But that's completely besides the point.

Tropes are nothing more than patterns we can observe in multiple stories. Clichés are tropes used extremely frequently. There's nothing inherently wrong about either of those things, it's only the way they're being used, the execution, that can be good or bad.

The James Bond one manages to add a touch of comedy, gives more information to the viewer about the characters who the characters are and how well they know each other, and makes the viewer remain attentive in what would otherwise be a fairly boring exposition scene.

UEFI made it quite simpler by making it so that network cards only have to bring a driver in OPROM instead of whole stack as before, and this allowed important improvements into boot process (like HTTPS instead of TFTP)
In the corporate world, native or advanced English speakers who might use such loanwords may sometimes be told to knock it off and stick to using a restricted list of very basic English words, about a thousand of them. Rather than getting ESL speakers up to speed, get everybody else to use this 'LCD English'. It's all very demeaning, but if you're adhering to this you'll find that ASCII has you covered.
Now imagine a whole working set of software, and some encrypted storage, running in UEFI, while the "real OS" with some games and office apps is only loaded to plausibly deny the real use.

I find it hard to believe that Huawei does not use version control. No company is perfect, but surely software developers (at a multinational company) with advanced degrees in CS and ECE are using version control.
Interviews are largely broken today. People don’t write code in front of other people in real time in their jobs. They write it for an interpreter or compiler, and huge amounts of time and resources are spent building/maintaining development environments and pipelines. Trial and error is engrained into the normal workflow. It baffles me that a few minutes in a share notepad is commonly considered an accurate gauge for skill.

I think a much more accurate way is to discuss the role and candidate background and experience, and if theres a fit invite then to participate in code reviews and/or a small project.

Companies are cheap though, so they would rather do quick and crappy trivia interviews than something more time consuming and thorough.
