> This isn't Rust's fault per se; non-segmented architectures don't have an architecturally defined way to know the stack base.

Bounding stack usage is of course a whole-program concern, but that ought to be feasible when building for embedded, where external "plugin" components are unlikely and there's no inherent need for true separate compilation. (Arguably, in such cases even the need for an actual "stack" structure is actually quite limited; a smarter compiler might well replace many uses of the activation stack with references to static data, reserving it for cases where e.g. reentrancy is actively needed. AIUI, there has been some work along those lines for LLVM.)
Fundamentally the biggest driver of selling cosmetics is still just the size of your player base. Companies are still really out there trying to make sure people play their games. Exceptions exist (I'm looking at you mobile games), but for the most part I don't see a massive shift in incentives.

IMO the big change is to do with the lifecycle of games. Previously you release a new title, maybe a few DLCs, and then you move on. The game is done, you have to do something else, a sequel, a new IP, whatever. That was true for all games, multiplayer included. Now (for multiplayer) the idea is to try different releases until one sticks, and then try and make that game evergreen. The dream being something like League of Legends, which has been printing money for over a decade.

Whether that's a good or bad thing is up for debate I suppose.
I don't play the F2P games on PC. Got one of those on my phone which is a good turd-passing helper (come to think of it, aren't all phone games F2P P2W games?).

I only buy quality games that are worth the money spent. Bought Factorio in Early Access, paid money for Rogue Tower the other day. Come to think of it, maybe games have taken a turn for the worse. I'm spending less on games over time at least.

I'm not saying anything is infallible, but the vast majority of what we know around corporal punishment is that it is ultimately harmful for everything other than obedience. It elicits aggressive behaviors in the children.

Satisfactory and Factorio do that for me. Really good games but i can barely bring myself to play them with how quickly they start making me feel like i'm working.

Wish there was an.. easy mode, or something. Something that let me enjoy that feeling of my work - which i love - but with some simplifications to not exercise the same parts of my brain i'm trying to rest after a long days actual work hah.

Who knows, maybe it would be boring :shrug:
I think this is a great and useful perspective. The most salient point being that "fake news" and "bias" and "balance" is a red herring to the much bigger problem of "news" in general. The near-universal acceptance that one can and should have firm opinions about complex ongoing events, some constant stream of incomprehensible information that is most likely completely unrelated to you, is the actual problem. I think the author is basically spot on here.

Where I think it breaks down is the prescription that everyone can necessarily separate themselves from "news". I think this is increasingly infeasible. Even if you, personally, don't buy a subscription or scroll twitter, I don't think it's too outlandish to expect that people around you in your family or community might take action based on some national or international news that is admittedly basically pointless. Are you supposed to righteously shut down every news-related conversation about that you're a part of?

More broadly this also runs into the absurdity of trying to define arbitrary boundaries around "news". You're just begging your unconscious mind to label subjects you are personally uncomfortable with as "news" and therefore not worthy of considering.

So removing "news" from your life as much as possible, or at least separating if from yourself and your ego to some significant extent, can really only be part of the answer and is also by definition an endless uphill battle. I don't think there's any getting away from the need for a broader media literacy.

The process used to enrich uranium/plutonium for use in reactors is the same process used to enrich it for use in weapons, the difference is merely scope. The "waste" from nuclear plants are also problematic. Plutonium can be obtained from spent fuel rods in a number of ways and it is easier to yield "weapons grade" enrichment levels with plutonium.

Plus, once enough fuel has been accumulated, a breeder reactor can be set up to generate the necessary Pu238 & Pu239. This is something a nuclear power would want to do for legitimate purposes because plutonium yields are far higher than uranium.

So in some ways, yes, nuclear reactors make it "that easy" to manufacture nuclear weapons. Especially plutonium-based weapons. There's still the work needed to create a weapon from the source material, but that's an easier problem to solve.
They're not saying they support them, they're asking for reasons why they should.
there was a huge huge problem with his startup, and it wasn't the economic model but the fact he was providing medical advice without any medical expertise. I don't know if it's allowed in the US, but it's at least ethically troublesome.

And I guess the doctors had no reason to use a service made by a guy without expertise, the data coming from some outsourced workers without any third party validation (no putting the face of few doctors isn't a validation).
Because the investment banks took loans and repackaged them, then didn't do anything illegal. The most sketchy thing they were accused of was repackaging loans when they should know the documentation was fraudulent, ie borrowers were lying on their forms. Its a long chain of paper pushers who are blaming each other, I'm not convinced anyone is worse than the others, just GS is most famous.
There was a puzzle game that came out when UML was still a thing people talked about doing and put on their resumes. The puzzle was a graph of nodes and edges and you won when none of the edges crossed.

I had fun with it for about an hour and then got this terrible sense if deja vu. And then it hit my like a ton of bricks. This is flattening a UML diagram but turned into a game. I pushed back from my desk and went to get some air, and that was the last time I played that game. And (coincidentally?) close to the last time I volunteered to do make class diagrams.
Right from the beginning Clubhouse felt like it was trying to Make Fetch Happen. There was the company itself - loudly shouting about how it was the future, their VC backers loudly shouting about how it was the future, and then a bunch of SV bros whose entire brands are caught up in being seen to be early adopters. So they all jump on it because they want to be seen to be early adopters, and scream about how they were in on the ground floor of The Next Big Thing. But the truth is that there was never any value proposition to it, all of the value the company was trying to claim in the early days was purely down to the celebrity guests who were never going to stay because they had no reason to let their value accrue to clubhouse.

The distinguishing feature of clubhouse wasn't live audio chats, it was Silicon Valley VCs hyping up a valueless app for completely self-interested reason.

There is also this really weird strain of investors in SV who have noticed that journalists have started covering some of the problems in by silicon valley and decided that they - billionaire business owners - are a persecuted minority who must be protected from these evil reporters. And you see from these guys a continual effort to try and replace online media with something they can control.
Ok. Great. You have established you're exceptionally talented and can do it all. Now the question is whether you should do it all, and only you can answer that question. :)
Why is it depressing that people who might not be intellectually at your high levels vote?
Unfortunately there cannot be an investigation. Too much time will pass before the Chinese let anyone investigate, if they ever do.

But there are many areas in life where you can't gather enough information to make a statistically perfect decision. That doesn't mean that we do nothing though.

I think my country should drastically reduce trade with China and tell them it's because they operate biolabs haphazardly and don't allow investigations into pandemic origins. I wish all countries would do this. Then the next pandemic might not happen, because nations would be afraid of the consequences.
One of the things I listed is more agreeable than all of the things I listed? Please tell me more about how that works.
No matter how grey this comment is, it’s still true. This is statistically far far more likely to be bullshit than face value racism.

El Salvador is the definitive article, though. Hard to argue with that.
> It is wrong to frame the argument as wind/solar versus everything else. The argument should be carbon versus no carbon. Period.

I am framing it as carbon vs no carbon. A new nuclear plant's timeline to carbon-neutrality compared to the counterfactual where an equal capital investment is made in solar/wind is well over a decade. Given the time crunch we are on to lower emissions, I simply do not think we have the time to waste building new plants. That said, we should not be decommissioning plants that are still operable.

Coordination technology to connect people who “want to help” with good ways to “actually help”.

Right now it is very difficult for people to figure out good ways to help causes they care about. Whether in big ways, like career shifts, or small ways, like writing a letter on behalf of a divestment initiative.

(This is a biased answer since I am working on this)
I think the use case is to reduce CPU usage. Its like GPU cards, but for networking.
Exponential growth is the true problem and most of the technologies we are currently looking towards will only be temporary solutions. Even Fusion could only solve the problems exponential growth will throw at us in both population increases and energy usage increases.

> I'm sure there's plenty of these camps that actually are court mandated.

That may be, but in those cases you would be talking about behavior problems that resulted in problems with the law, trial, guilt and conviction.

Those cases are per definition a sub-set of the much larger group of people that are innocent, don't get in trouble with the law, don't go to trial, aren't convicted, but still are sent to these internment facilities.

If these facilities were limited to kids that are actually mandated by court to go there, then it would be a VERY different story.

I know a lot of people who are worried about Nuclear energy because, "What if a plant explodes?" but are unaware that they likely live A LOT closer to a plant than they think. There are quite a few nuclear energy plants across the US. Pull up a map and check it out sometimes. It helps with that fear because people realize they have been living with that threat most of their life and just didnt know.
Really bizarre why you would continue to push this narrative, Japan isn't out to develop nuclear warheads. It certainly possess the capacity to do so if it desired and is considered a "nuclear threshold state" similar to Canada.

The odds of Taiwan and South Korea going nuclear is far more likely as something like 3/4 of SK citizens support having nuclear weapons.
The etymology of economics is household management. Children are dependents of your household.

I'm not really sure what your objection to this analogy is.... Choosing to work more so you can send your kids to an elite private school is one action that somebody can take. Choosing to work less so that you can be more involved in your children's lives is another. All the analogy is asking is that you be intentional about how you are managing yourself and your household.
Honey, I Decapitated the MacBook
This is all due to having a device in your pocket constantly connected to the sum of all human knowledge. This device created an attention economy that forces producers/developers to create ever increasing ways of engaging your attention for as long as possible. Mobile game spend was $80 billion in 2020, PC $37 billion, and consoles $45 billion [1]. There are still games out there that don't go the loot box route, but perhaps they aren't as popular (addictive) as the free loot box ones, specifically due to the reason mentioned in the parentheses.

Yes, Psyonix could drop development of RL and start work on new titles. That's just comparatively risky for them.

I'd argue this is still the case right now, but toolchain support in Bazel is maturing quickly.

Caddy provides the module system and the config management backed by powerful REST API for config query and patching. If it wasn't for Caddy, I would've had to build all of that from scratch. That's too much to own.
"...because at the end of the day nobody's opinion matters."

This is a danger that is in my opinion developed by over-consuming news and information from many sources. Of course, it is generally good to take news from multiple sources but if you are not payed for dig in information, you won't have much time to get deeply into problem and finally you just stay on the shallow top - which naturally let to resign on any opinion, because everything seems to be relative. It is not, it is simply a lack of invested time into subject.

Matrix 4 btw speaks a little bit about it if you pay attention.

On the other hand it is perfectly fine to say "I don't know". Which is not what we are learning at schools. We are persecuted to say that unfortunately. And here we are... Everyone has opinions on everything.
The sad thing is, there's no reason for any modern system to require a small MTU. MTUs of only a thousand bytes made sense on sub-megabit networks (to limit jitter), and when RAM was purchased by the kilobyte. But there's no reason why every network shouldn't support 64 kB MTUs today.

A required max of 64 kB with a default segment size of 16 kB would improve performance and allow any amount of headers to be added.
Ah yes. Reading the news is useless in the sense that reading the mainstream news is useless. It's both deliberately (pushing a narrative) and by incompetence (Gell Mann Amnesia) wrong more often than not.

That doesn't mean cutting yourself off from the world is wrong. Large outlier events often cast shadows (Covid, Ukraine war) and if you're in the path of the outlier events, knowing early pays off.

The hard question is, how do you see the large shadows without having to twitch at every small event. The answer to this is, to some extent, mentioned in the article - expensive, subscription-based newsletters. It's still not the full answer. There are too many areas to pay attention to. Best answer I've found so far is having a group of friends & contacts with wide-ranging interests.
Have you read Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep? You might enjoy it, if Excession sparked your fancy.

Note: Vinge is more circumspect and less obvious about what's going on, so expects you to infer more than Banks does. Also, would recommend reading Fire without Googling it, as that would spoil one of the nice literary sleights of hand.
I was drawn to it because it's based on surviving the siege of city I've been living in for the good part of the last decade (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Sarajevo) and playing it is just a painful experience that matches what I've been told and read from those that lived through it.

It's been a while since I've last played it, but from what I remember I always ended up in an absolutely inescapable situation regardless of what I tried. If you want to actually feel something while playing a game, 10/10, would recommend.
I'm assuming this being Go and the mention of being extensible through Caddy modules (in-process API) that this is a monolithic, non-privilege-separated server, which likely makes it quite a bit worse than OpenSSH sshd in terms of defense in depth.

Their calculator used to be approved for the ACT/SAT even before it was locked down. I believe it was pressure from the Dutch government that caused their calculators to become locked down.
>Once we make X economical, we will have all the Y we want

True for like 99% of things that could ever exist. The big question is is it possible, and is that really the only hurdle. IMO Uranium extraction isn't the bottleneck to nuclear power, building and maintaining the plants is.

Right. I didn't even take it as disagreeing with the piece - there's enough nuance there to see harmony between the post and the comment.
The slippery slope is literally the title of this post: now Z's are banned.
It doesn't work as you imagine. You can't use the EME spec for anything. It is equivalent to saying Flash is a Web Standard, because the spec says you invoke it with <object type="flash"> with no further details (which is less than NPAPI that actual Flash used to use).

The spec, both for browser developers and site authors, is completely impossible to use without a secret unspecified component. EME CDM isn't even a real component, but a spec placeholder for arbitrary vendor-specific code that has no standard API, and intentionally never will.

That secret component is for all practical purposes absolutely necessary and implements 99% of the functionality. The only key exchange scheme described in EME is a deliberate misdirection, and it's not used by anyone.

I can't emphasize enough how sleazy EME is. Google and Netflix have devised and documented a key exchange scheme nobody asked for, nobody uses, and even they have explicitly said they will never use it. The only purpose of this spec is to merely exist, so that DRM vendors like Google can exploit the confusion to say their closed proprietary DRM, which is not in the spec, and doesn't even work the way spec describes DRMs, is somehow a standard.

(I was an Invited Expert in W3C HTML Working Group when this spec was being written)
I'm not exactly well-read on this, but /shouldn't/ there be some emergent structure that maintains a (perceived) low-fitness position?
The actual fitness of a trait can only be seen in the long-term, and in the event the general population was long-term-incorrect in their evolution it is helpful to have a decent number of the alternative on hand.

I’m not sure I agree with you about your extra > and will pay for.

People want Reddit, people want FB and Insta. Do they pay for those? I’m not saying those are good or realistic models to follow but I think the scale of your product needs to be taken into account with your statement. ie landing millions of users can forgive the lack of a business plan _at that scale_ whereas a SAAS platform targeting B2B customers should probably require your statement to be true.
I've only used this feature with HTTP requests going to a function app, but my understanding was that there is a reverse proxy involved. I have an app with two slots, and both slot domains (<app name>.azurewebsites.net and <app name>-staging.azurewebsites.net) report the same external IP address. You can set up routing rules where a percentage of incoming traffic is forwarded to a specific slot, which would be hard (impossible?) to manage via DNS or ARP tables.
But that's like half the fun of being orthodox!
