>I assume they mean to cap it so that we don't see that fierce competition

Sounds like internal passports[1] to me. The article does not paint a pretty picture of its consequences.

I haven't read the dissertation yet. But just reading the cartoon you linked put me in mind of a friend who's spendt the last year headed down various cult/conspiracy theory rabbit holes, despite the efforts of their friends and family. They would absolutely agree that our society is dominated by authoritarian mind control. And angrily complaining that no one takes them seriously when they question the consensus narrative has become their favorite pastime. As presented in the previous posters cartoon, from their perspective B(I)TE describes what they see as a conspiracy against "the real truth". For example:

>"Of course you're allowed to ask questions. Here is the list of approved questions."

Why aren't candidates for office all tested by <my pet kook> to make sure they aren't really lizard people?
Why don't flat-earthers get equal academic research funding?
What are the real reasons why we haven't gone back to the Moon?

>"You're absolutely free to study and investigate for yourself. Here is the list of approved sources."

These YouTube videos all tell me I'm right.
So do all these people on Twitter.
Academic journals, mainstream media and PhD are all in on the scam, except for this one who agrees with what I think.

>"We're not trying to stifle thought! We want you to learn everything you can as you reach the approved conclusions."

Why does no one take my concerns about cancer from 5G wifi seriously?
Why do you all look at me strangely when I saw the Earth is really only 6000 years old?
Lamarckian evolution really makes sense. You're all sheep for believing in that Darwin crap!
Thank you for the response but not sure we're on the same page. All I would need is two Xeon boxes with COTS NICs on the same subnet. Having hosted bare metal boxes alleviates me from dealing with cables etc.. As for traffic generators ... I have no need for those. The apps I have in mind will form a distributed system and do their own TX/RX.
I prefer the somewhat focused approach of skype, rather than the multi-channel type kitchen sink used by teams.

To communicate you've got "Chat" then "Teams", On "Chat" you can reply to one message, and on "Teams" you can post on the Threads to reply.

On the UX side, at one point I experienced bad memory leak if GPU acceleration was enabled, The shortcut for starting the voice call is the same as the "paste only the text" shortcut in other application (causing more than one department wide voice conference started by accident)
> Graham Spanier drew a salary from the university DESPITE being complicit in the cover-up until 2017. He merely was “removed from leadership.” It’s on us as a society to punish misuse of power more effectively.

Weren't Penn State U board members who punished the wrongdoing removed from office by their constituents?
I would like to point out that Cloudflare leaving Russia would cause some of those former customers to use DDOS-guard instead. DDOS-guard is a Russian company, and would almost certainly be nicer to Moscow than Cloudflare.
Prices have risen with falling interest rates. They will fall with rising interest rates.

Zoning is a smaller part of it (though more significant in some areas than others).
Time to build.
Thank you gentleman. Will check it out.
Erasure coding (particularly fountain codes) are what you'd want to use.
Marginalia is a breath of fresh air in an internet that seems to be...disappearing. I actually like it's philosophy of not doing "useful" search queries - it's great just to see what's lost behind Google's wall of Reddit/Wikipedia/SEO Blogspam results. Funnily, after playing with it for a bit my gripe is that there isn't a way to exclude results from vanity domain names which are consistently the lowest quality results.
Yes definitely. I’m also curious to know, what are Ukrainian software contractors doing now? And assuming this war ends, what, if anything, will they need to rengage with foreign companies?
Next you're going to try to tell us that Lamborghinis are made by VW.
Yes, the problem is the classic landowning class vs. serfs. It's just that the USA had a lot of land compared to population for a long time, but one day it will explode in redistribution when too few people own too much land.
Just poking around online it seems 5% isn't uncommon, some higher, some lower and it has happen relatively quickly. I'm not surprised if people who have a locked in rate are just eating the cost of outbidding to win.

Bankrate says this though:

On Sunday, March 27, 2022, the national average 30-year fixed mortgage APR is 4.570%.
There's definitely a tasteful way to do this model. Dota 2, Fortnite, and Brawlhalla are examples of good ways to do this. To me, it comes down to two things:

1. Should not be able to purchase a competitive advantage

2. Should be able to purchase the item you want.

Re the second point, if you want the rare items and that involves gambling random item opaque loot boxes, that's an abusive relationship. If it involves purchasing the item directly, or buying a box where you can see all the items inside of it, that's a respectful relationship. Purchasing the item directly is the most preferred.

Games that do this entire model badly involve Hearthstone and any number of mobile games made by Supercell.

Some people might balk at the idea of purchasing any further items, but personally, I don't see anything particularly wrong with allowing cosmetics to be purchased and applied as a model that enables people to have a great free experience.
Apple uses Slack and WebEx. The experience is so disjoint and WebEx itself is so crappy that I actually prefer Teams overall even though Slack is a better chat client.
ArXiv-sanity lite: get recommendations of similar papers
Agreed. Google is really good at back compatibility - sometimes even to a fault.

It also seems Google sometimes is held to a higher standard when it comes to supporting products long after they are out of service.

Compare that to Microsoft and Windows Phone for instance, or UWP, or even Windows... it's a big mess with millions of outdated and insecure devices.
One thing I’ve learned at this point is that almost l no kid or adult is actually irrational.

If someone seems irrational, it’s because their shoes are so different from any that you’ve been in. You simply have never experienced anything like their life (because if you did, you’d be like them).

And you can’t actually ask someone to explain their own behavior because everyone only lives one life and they rarely know in what way their shoes are different from someone else’s.
What exactly makes you think as someone who "dabbles in games" to be entitled to profit?

AFAIK it costs $100 +30% to publish on Steam. It only takes 260 people to buy your game at 50 cents to break even. If your game can't sell 260 copies at 50 cents then it's just that, worthless.

Why not just release your game for free, for free? Does it have to be on Steam? Does it have to make money?
Actually there's a strong power law going on with microtransactions. Most players don't spend any money at all on them; some spend a couple bucks on an item or two. The model becomes profitable because of the top 1% of spenders — "whales," in industry parlance — some of whom have deeply unhealthy relationships to the gambling mechanics and social pressures underlying microtransaction economies.

So it's not exactly true that the public are voting with their wallets here. It's a profitable business model, but the majority of people do not engage with it, and consumers as a whole would be better-off if it died out.
IIRC a tenet of developmental psychology that the worst thing for children is neglect - it's worse than abuse (and that isn't downplaying abuse in any way), because the abused child is getting attention. Children are absolutely dependent on their parents for survival (literally, food, water, shelter, protection, safety), for understanding the world, for learning. Neglect, the absence of parenting, is terrifying.
I’m not sure either and neither are real estate agents. My contacts there are thought we’d see a flat at best market this year. But here we are - biggest jump yet. Spoke with a notary a few days ago that said they’ve never been busier. People locking in low rates.

But to me it seems like it’s going to cool fast. Rates going up. Fine if you’re long term.

I went to view a house a few weeks ago listed at 1.25 and that seemed high. I asked my real stir if 1.6 gets it done and she said I doubt it - need 1.75. Heard (not published yet) a rumor it went for 1.835.

Anecdotal but something seems broke. Saying that I just took out a line of credit for a few hundred thousand.
The difference is that the game was competitive and the cosmetics had 0 impact on the game mechanics itself. Other games like you describe constantly remind you that you don't have enough credits to buy the thing, you're earning them just at a rate too slow to matter. You're always being nudged to think about the mtx system and it's a core aspect of the gameplay and it's exhausting.

For me it makes a game feel like a second job. I'm not wealthy so I'm trying to save and make something for myself but playing these games just feels like experience the same dread and fear i have in reality.
The problem with Ubisoft's model is that it affects game balance. Before when there's a problem with a game, the developers will patch it for free. Now, solutions are sold as IAP. It's even worse when the problems are now intentional.
I'm not sure what your criteria for "best" is. But others' concerns stem from this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_Postal_Serv...
We might as well be from different species :) I'd love it if you could elaborate. How do you chat with coworkers remotely if not slack.. IRC? phone? Go around to their house?
Are we not?

I have a more expensive watch but my daily d(r)iver is a Seiko SKX009. Indestructible and with a bracelet upgrade it looks great. And here in Asia you see a lot of marketing for Seiko, and tons of shops. And there’s always Grand Seiko if you want to make watch snobs STFU. Or mods if you want to out-nerd the watch nerds.

I don’t own a Toyota yet but I probably will buy one soon!
>but they happily received it knowing it had been robbed from the inhabitants

Sure…they happily received it right after Adolf Hitler decided to try and rid the world of the Jewish people and managed to kill more than a third of all Jews and 2/3 of the Jews in Europe. So having a Jewish state seemed like that might make the likelihood of some other bad actor finishing the genocide a bit less likely.

Then, literally before the ink was dry the rhetoric started and the bullets started flying and the nations around that Jewish state made it their stated mission to finish off the remaining Jewish people.

I’m not Jewish, but it’s not hard to imagine they might be inclined to take a bit of a hard survival stance considering their history of now multiple nations and people hellbent on your genocide for the last 90 years.
The thermal motion of atoms in a coal fire can do work just fine. All you need is a steam engine and a cold reservoir.
Philosopher here as well. I'd strongly recommend Thomas Kuhn's "The Copernican Revolution". It's a beautiful book that shows how ancient astronomy, cosmology and philosophy were interwoven, with valuable lessons for how science works even today.

From the classics I'd also recommend Hume. The "Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding" is short, very well written and argues, among other things, that causality is an illusion :)
(n2 author here) This is really cool! I am sorry if weird ninja decisions (like not being lexer-friendly or phony being underspecified) caused you grief, the whole thing was really built as a quick hack before I understood the problem space.
Personally I feel this article strays too far into:

1. Whining and moaning,

2. Other political areas,

3. Intellectually dishonest arguments

to stand as a valuable contribution to the discourse on this topic. In particular the 'The most vocal cheerleaders' paragraph is just an emotional dump on the author's personal political bogeymen.
The current state is only a bit better. It's basically Google developing features that users and developers mostly want, and Mozzila and Apple shooting them down without really offering an alternative for those use cases.

It's almost the same as old school Linux, where commercial software said "Hey I added this one click button for the main use case" and FOSS said "You don't need that, just have a bash one liner instead".

Chromium is openish. Other developers could fork it if they wanted to.

Firefox isn't doing anything about the fact that self hosting is way too much hassle for anyone but a few hobbyists. They're not really doing much in the IoT space.

They don't seem to be addressing the fact that the web is basically just Facebook and Youtube and Amazon in any way, except by adding ever-more tracking prevention tech that's not really relevant when all data goes through the same 5 sites anyway.

They actively get in the way of P2P tech by locking everything down so much it's impossible to implement a lot of things.

The lack of filesystem APIs just promotes even more vendor lockinful web services.

Mozzila does a lot of good things, but I'd rather they just switch to the Chromium engine, restore the removed features, and go back to what they were doing 5-10 years ago in the FlyWeb and WebThings era.
They look wonderful. There should be digitization efforts to preserve some of these.
> I don't think "the IT community" (is there even such a thing) has any sort of power where corruption in the traditional sense can even exist.

My advice was "look in the mirror"; I understand the parent's advice as "don't look in the mirror, there can't possibly be anything to see there".

Responses like that are why we see nothing, hear nothing (and shut it down - discredit it, attack it, etc. - immediately if we do), and do nothing. I expect that people in Luzerne County had denials too. People can talk about and around these things infinitely, and they do.

Therefore the only question we should ask is, what are we going to do?

Edit: Abusing children isn't the only corruption, in case that's how you interpreted it. The amount of scams, fraud, mass surveillance, manipulation, etc. in our industry is astounding.
Have you tried actually doing that though. When you're at home you're always available to help out. If you're at the office its impossible. When your family is having a screaming argument next door how can you concentrate at home?
Have you been sleeping while he’s been dismantling the USPS and blatantly been sabotaging ability to reliably send absentee ballots in time?
How do you kill that which is already dead?
> will they need to rengage with foreign companies?

not sure, but good luck
Not yet. Single Family Homes still going under contract the first weekend they list in desirable Charlotte NC suburbs.

This is in addition to atleast 3 new construction developments within a couple miles of each other where I live, all priced 20% higher than existing homes.

Looks like there's still demand out there.

It doesn't take zero time to ship a bespoke finished game, your calculus is asinine.
I locked in 2.49% rate on a 30yr fixed two months ago in the US basically betting that rates were about to skyrocket and I wouldn’t be able to buy again for a long time at a rate this good. To get a rate that low you have to pay it down in points. Otherwise it would have been closer to 3%.

I don’t expect Bay Area nimbys to get any better, but there is a risk people just leave the bay (most of my friends have left). You can get way nicer housing in austin, Denver, Miami, dc, LA, San Diego, etc. for cheaper. Socal has even better weather and with remote work is super nice.

Florida is also way nicer for taxes. I forgot Seattle too.
Doing everything in terms of explicit equivalence relations is perfectly rigorous, but it results in a combinatorial explosion of bookkeeping tasks for anything other than set theory, and so no one actually does it. We want foundations that allow us to engage in idiomatic mathematical reasoning and be perfectly rigorous at the same time.

> For instance, seeing that a situation might be described/given by several equivalence relations, we'd probably want to have equivalences between equivalence relations, and then work based on "quotient sets of equivalence relations"

That's the general idea, yeah.
There's nothing silly about it. It's just a metaphor. It's more incredulous that people have a problem with figurative speech like this than the comparison itself.
32K or higher resolution screens might allow for wall displays and interactions with subsets of the screen. What does that enable? I imagine things I cannot yet imagine. A remote dance party may feel less odd and people you are remotely meeting may seem more "there" if you can see them moving in the space. Intensive resolution might increase the realism of virtual stimuli. I don't know... there's no magic in my brain.

The point was that many of us were previously unable to see what use an expansion of capacity would allow. This it seems reasonable enough to think we might have a crisis of imagination again.
(n2 author here) ETA is pretty hard in the presence of parallelization unless you make big assumptions like "all pending build tasks will be able to run in parallel". If you had any good ideas here I'd love to hear them.
There are certainly exceptions like Buddhism, if you consider that a religion.
They raise an interesting point I've wondered about, in regards to movies:

> "Like you are watching Avengers End game in Netflix and they ask you if you wanna pay 5 dollars more to watch Captain America use his well known outfit instead of regular clothes?"

While that example is unlikely, we may in the future see paid narrative arcs. The base movie might be free, taking you to a certain point in story where you're presented a fork in road. One path is free with low budget action, the other paid and contains more action, more sex and big budget scenes!
I struggle to reconcile this with the number of cash buyers, though. Higher rates aren't going to affect their ability to pay.
Mostly looking for low latency.

>The "good" news is that most bare metal hosts ...

Thank you. Will checkout references.

The system I'm working on, for the I/O part, will be a rewrite of:
https://www.usenix.org/system/files/nsdi19-kalia.pdf

The idea there is that not so many UDP packets are lost so, with a little help in congestion and packet loss, you can get UDP speed reliably. DPDK, even on a virtualized NIC like AWS, can enqueue UDP packets in ~500ns if the NIC's TXQ isn't full. So compared to, for example, https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-to-receive-a-million-packets... you can get a lot more done in a lot less resources than kernel based work.

But as I say AWS are virtualized NICs. Which is why I was asking for options for bare metal with regular-old-NICs on the PCI bus. So although developing on AWS spot instances is pretty seamless it seems like it defeats the point of using DPDK which I guess would shine even brighter if the virtualized layer was not in the way.

And, no, I have not tried EFA although I've definitely seen it on AWS.

Thank you for time and response.
Not at all. See the links in the thread. You can try it yourself to verify if you do not believe me (and again, wg-quick does extra things here which are not inherent to Wireguard). And also again, you can specify as many wireguard interfaces as you want - no need to cram all peers into one interface.
And here I am, relieved to have locked in 3.75% a couple of weeks ago instead of 4.75%

Speaking of auctions...why aren't homes just sold via normal auctions? I would imagine you would end up with a better price than everyone giving their "best and final" offer - which may not be their best and final if they are given a chance to increase their bid slightly to get the house.

Doesn't seem to be the case where I am (NZ). The official cash rate here has gone from 0.25 to 1.00 since August last year. In my city, there are now almost 2-3x times as many residential homes on the market as there were this time last year (when the market was booming). Stock is building up as time-to-sell goes through the roof. Things are getting very interesting.
Japan is a weird exception. The house I live in the in the UK was built in 1896 and isn't out of the ordinary, if the building is maintained properly you are fine.
Maybe some use case for NFTs after all. Link the stuff you can get through playing a game or buy ingame for cash to a NFT and boom, players really own that stuff and are free to sell it on the secondary market.
It's pretty much exclusively states that have implemented either strong zoning laws or strong environmental review processes that have this problem. Can you name a high growth state which doesn't have one of these two problems that is experiencing insane housing prices?
I think this book has potential to be an epic material about networking, just, it may costs author years long time to finish it, kudos.

My reading of https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap#related-project-com... is that it is literally what flatpak uses:

> Firejail is similar to Flatpak before bubblewrap was split out
Well, if you're going to scold someone for not using the correct term, it would be polite to explain why the term is not correct, without summoning several wikipedia links and just saying "see, it all writes here if you take the time to read it all".
Thankfully there are games like the Soulsbourne series! I found Japanese studios are the better ones nowadays for 'genuine' games based on a one-time sale. GTA V is releasing a $5.99 subscription service that basically lets you buy micro transactions at a discount.
Its called hyperbole. Seriously HN can be so pedantic sometimes.
