> If triple A gaming has taught me anything, no, the prices are not lowered in compensation for the additional revenue stream.

Inflation-adjusted, on average, AAA games have slowly decreased in retail price over the years. At the same time, they have become much more expensive to produce. Technology have improved, HD graphics, storage and computing power is now cheap, but creative work is as expensive as ever, if not more. And someone has to make all these assets and feature-film level animation that newer hardware supports and that players now expect from AAA games.

That increase in production costs compared to a relative decrease in retail prices explain a lot of things regarding the AAA game industry: in-game purchases, a general lack of originality (originality is a gamble, and with $100M+ games, investors want guaranteed returns), few consoles exclusives (producers want the largest market possible), lower pay than in other industries,...
>How does the Wikimedia foundation attempt to handle this?

Add a time cost to accounts that is independent from IP or real identity. I gave a suggestion to factoring the product of primes, basically breaking crypto with far fewer bits then would ever be used in a real system to tune to time to a desired target. Another option would be to require a security key for anonymous editing of hot articles then ban the key if needed, which would essentially be a fairly anonymous proxy for money. Now attackers need to spend a key each ban. Although unlike just doing it purely for Wikipedia that might result in a market of "used, banned" keys which isn't really great. But they shouldn't do it via IP, they absolutely could do better.
Dang, Helix looks surprisingly good and simple!
Do the kakoune and neovim keyboard shortcuts conflict for you? I've put off trying non-vim modal editors because I think there's only enough room for one set of shortcuts in my head. How difficult is it for you to switch between them?
Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean? Handling errors with the async runtime..?

If you just mean handling errors from funcs .. it's no different than non-async, no?
I believe the world would be a better place if we all showed a bit more compassion towards each other, but let's agree to disagree.
What is wrong with you chaosbutters.
At first glance

"A company providing a range of B2B software solutions... wanted its software engineers to do more to market the services of the company through creating thought leadership."

seems pretty odd, I mean most companies hire marketing people to do their marketing, even though it is not unusual for companies to have some software developers do some

"... writing blogs, doing conference presentations, and similar content creation and dissemination activities"

Marketing is an important activity that demands people who are good at it.
If you can produce, and show that you can produce, then there's probably nothing to worry about. Admittedly this is a very naive and simplistic view but probably more correct than not.
> Surely they are aware that this is basically all IPs nowadays...?

There are indeed many classes of IP address which multiplex large numbers of users (mobile network exits, VPN exits, ISPs with CGNAT, some corporate web filtering systems, shared public wifi, tor, satellite ground station exits, residential proxies, ...).

However, claiming that "basically all" IPs are multiplexed is definitely wrong. A home or small office broadband line typically gets a dynamic-but-ephemerally-unique IP, same as it always did.

The effect of IPv6 on this isn't totally clear to me yet. If anything, as IPv6 deployment among ISPs increases, the trend seems to be for less multiplexing and not more.
100% this, same as you get with reddit moderators and those types of people. There are a lot of people there with agendas who use "the rules" to kill any opinions they don't like.
A lot of times things didn't need to perform terribly well, but at the same time I was reminded recently of some of the tricks - removing "ld de, 0" in favour of "xor de,de", etc, which came up in this past post:

So maybe I was wrong, this kind of experimentation and knowledge is still useful.
"This is just an anecdotal account, but there’s an interview with the psychedelics researcher Manoj Doss, who says that he “only know[s] one psychedelic researcher who’s never done psychedelics”, and notes (in an encouragingly self-critical way) that this is a conflict of interest." - Yeah that's a good point to be honest

I think that some of the most interesting applications for psychedelics as medicine target treatments that aren't strictly mental health related. Ketamine is already approved for ischemic brain damage or stroke, like you better hope that's the first thing you get in the ambulance to prevent glutamate excitotoxicity from getting really nasty if you fall of a motorcycle or whatever - But DMT actually shows a lot of promise for recovery too, and I'm actually getting involved in a project tangent to that research right now. We're talking sub-psychedelic micordoses to build people's neurons back from brain damage, one of those things in modern medicine we're still generally hopeless about. Pretty interesting stuff! [1]

My understanding is it is often due to damaged hairs/cells in the cochlea.
I don't know if that's exactly the claim they are making, but I can certainly attest to their timeline. It was a day-night shift from "Bernie or Bust" to "Eww Bernie Bros are gross". Putting my own politics aside, I was more shocked by the sudden, very drastic shift in narrative. It's really hard to believe that it was organic. It wasn't even a "maybe we should support Clinton now that Bernie is out" narrative, which would have been more believable. It was a "Bernie supporters are sexist" narrative.

In the months leading up to the DNC primary, reddit was a battleground between Correct the Record[1] and /r/The_Donald. After the primary, it felt like every post on left-wing subs was inline with the narratives that CTR had been pushing for months. Before the primary, there was quite a bit of resistance to CTR, even from the left-wingers. That evaporated over a single night.

tl;dr - "you need to make sure your keys are using strong encryption by not having old keys laying around."
You seem to have mistaken me for an invasion supporter.

Calling people (me, Putin) an idiot is itself idiotic, if you are at all interested in understanding the situation. If you dismiss a participant as being [mad | stupid], then you lose the ability to understand and predict his actions.

My view is that Russia, mainly at Putin's instigation, has perpetrated a catastrophic mistake. But how and why did that mistake happen?

I think it's plausible to claim that Putin's ministers and generals are afraid to tell him anything he doesn't want to hear. That doesn't make him stupid or mad; that just means he's scary.

So why has he made this mistake, and why now? I think if you read what he has said, and take it seriously - not as the ravings of an idiotic madman - your chance of understanding why we are here, and of making accurate predictions about what might happen next, are much improved.

[Edit] What I think is idiotic is to not take seriously a man that controls 6,000 nuclear warheads. If you check out the guy's career, he's a competent but boring bureaucrat, embittered that nobody recognised his wonderfulness, who got lucky under Yeltsin.
These guys are literally betting that it'll go up 100% to that mythical $77. If they actually believed HALF this amount was going to happen, they'd be buying until it reached $50-60. Instead, we see Goldman Sachs saying that $30 is their sell price.

A dollar in the hand is worth a LOT of imaginary gambling dollars.

This can only be described as political/ideological or a huge gamble that Musk would come back with an even bigger offer rather than walk away. Neither of these seem to be in the best interest of shareholders.
I moved to Neovim from Vim based on the recommendation from my 16 year old :). He also suggested https://nvchad.github.io . NvChad was great in setting up the Neovim configuration with LSP for Ruby and others. Much better experience than Vim.
I like the article. With psychedelics, it's clear that much of the excitement comes from people (including scientists) who have used them and found their experiences helpful. That's not science but that doesn't mean it's wrong. Not everything is amenable to clinical study and this doesn't mean we should disregard it.

And the issue isn't just psychedelics being hard to study. Mental health is hard to study. An overweight man with no friends who plays computer games all day is not depressed unless he feels bad about it. Mental health depends on subjective feelings. Hard to study that!

My view is that we should continue to think about psychedelics from a religious or spiritual perspective. Even if that's literally incorrect, it's the correct metaphor. I'm also very skeptical of people who think widespread use of psychedelics can make society better. Lots of people used LSD in the 60s and 70s and as far as I can tell they didn't usher in a new age of love, peace, and tolerance.
I've been riding bikes in the city since I was 6 years old. I was taught to obey the traffic laws and be respectful to other people who use the road although it seems like I'm the only one.

Well… yes? Any stressor can be severe enough to cause problems in other areas of your life. It can also reveal undiagnosed mental illnesses.

Not sure how this relates to the article.
These ideas always fall short for various reasons in practice.
One is that you mainly punish honest users who have to install and run this PoW crapware just to make a small but legit edit. Wait, I have to lock up my CPU for how long to fix a typo I stumbled upon? Lol, forget it then.

Meanwhile, abusers just farm PoW solutions and make it negligible. You end up with a solution that’s even easier to farm than quick expiry captcha.

And your idea doesn’t stop you from having to implement moderation anyways. You have to do the same work.
In college I raced bicycles on a team, and I would go out riding through the large city that I lived in all the time without problem. I think the issue is both sides don’t respect each other.

Drivers pass way too close, and treat cyclist like an annoyance. I see so many people online complaining about cyclist riding in the middle of the road. They do that so the cars will not blow past them closely pushing them off the road.

As for the cyclists, I think a lot of them have a mentality of invincibility, and they don’t think traffic laws apply to them.

A bicycle is a vehicle, and both cyclist and drivers should treat each other as if they are vehicles on the road and obey all laws.
tinnitus is a known sideeffect of hearing loss, possibly due to changes in regulation of nerves making up for reduced signals. Another aspect is that often tinnitus and hearing loss are both effects of a "hörsturz"(there seems to be no easy to find translation in english, basically hörsturz is like a stroke inside the ear and results in severe tinnitus and/or hearing loss)
It reads like double-sarcasm and is hard to understand (much like double-negative).
The fact that you can generate a Dunning-Kruger looking graph using nothing but noise does indicate that the graph isn't proof of anything.

He also points out that the problem is that there's nothing below zero and nothing above 100. You can't have people who estimate beyond that. He uses another study and it turns out, the less knowledgeable you are about a skill, the worse you are at estimating your ability at all. In both directions.

If the lines were the absolute difference between perceived ability and actual ability, for no effect, the lines still shouldn't be the same. They should converge towards those who are knowledgeable. If anything, the difference line should be nearly a horizontal line. Because there should be greater variance in estimations at the lower end.
The only one that matters is if their MBP is over 2 years old. I got my M1 the week it released and I only run it under the conditions you describe. Sometimes accidentally leaving baldurs gate 3 / Stellaris / Civ6 running in the background.

It still gets a battery life of “oh I showed up to an all-day working session with a friend with 50% battery life and forgot my charger and I don’t have any anxiety about that” battery life.

I think the least it’s ever gotten was around 10 hours. I’m still getting 14+ after a couple years of abusing the battery charge levels.

The iPhone 13 Pro Max is also the first phone I truly never worry about battery life since a late-stage flip phone in 2007. (Or the Samsung S5 Active which had a replaceable battery, I just carried a couple extra around in my pocket).
Curious to know how this compares to something like CKEditor in terms of feature set and performance?

i think that your rate should take into account any down time.

the problem is that engineers charge rates that are too low in general. if you do the math you should be somewhere around the $500/hr figure if you are on the west coast. i fear that most people bill lower than that. which is a problem…

i think the agent model makes a lot of sense. the problem is that they have to be able to sell your value and actually do the work instead of waiting for you to do it and collect a %. another challenge i have firsthand noticed is if the agency has its own employees they might give them the work first, even if they do not have the skills. still not sure what to do with that one.

juggling multiple projects at a low rate sucks, i have been through that and have no interest in doing that again. i just want to do one thing and charge a realistic rate to stay in business. the alternative is fixed price projects but then you take on a big risk potentially….

> I feel that Solaris is too little, too late.

I'd say it was a lot, very early. SunOS and later Solaris were awesome before Linux existed and all through the growing-up period of Linux. Even by the time of the acquisition (2010) when Linux was fairly mature, Solaris was still so much better technically (zfs, dtrace, tooling) but just had become niche because everyone was running what was free, Linux.

Direct quotes from the US state department website:

Ukraine is a key regional strategic partner that has undertaken significant efforts to reform its military and increase its interoperability with NATO.

Since 2014, the United States has committed more than $5.6 billion in total assistance to Ukraine, including security and non-security assistance. In 2021 alone we committed over $300 million in assistance to support Ukraine’s democratic and economic development, and over $650 million in security assistance.

reddit is not a paragon here
Smart TVs pretty much completely displaced dumb TVs in the consumer market long before it occurred to anyone to use them for ads or surveillance.

The correct explanation is probably that since modern TVs are inherently digital devices the most sensible way to implement them is as computers running TV software, and once you are building your TV that way the only difference between a dumb TV and a smart TV is the software.
I see at least four reasons this is the reasonable policy - Bicyclists:

* have a much better communication with their surroundings: unimpeded sight lines, and typically less sheltered from surrounding sounds

* suffer more risk and do less damage in a collision

* lose momentum in stopping that must be spent getting back up to speed - as to the significance of that last point, it affects the speed at which you arrive and the exertion you expend doing so - you can look to the preferential user experience of electric bikes as an example of how different cost/benefit energy/velocity trade-off influence use patterns

Finally, it is in society's interest to incentivize bicycles over cars, as they exhibit far fewer costs on society, in the form of parking, pollution, and physical violence.
Yes, you have to pay the Rundfunkgebühr also if you don't have a TV but your computer has access to the Internet because public broadcasters also have a presence on the Internet.

If you accept the ATCOR concept (All Taxes Come out of Rent) then the presence of existing taxes diminishes land rent by the amount of those taxes.

You can read more on this subject in Taxation: The Lost History in the following section:

All Taxes Indirectly Fall on Land Values - https://www.jstor.org/stable/43817496?read-now=1&refreqid=ex...

and in the "Trickle-Up Economics" report - https://www.prosper.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Trickl...

Of course, we should first replace the existing bad taxes for multiple reasons. Nonetheless, as a matter of economic and social justice, -any- amount of land rent that exists should be publicly collected and distributed on a per-capita basis.

This does not increase the user-cost of land as land has no cost of production. Of course as a transitional issue there will be net winners and net losers (for which we could create policies to address the transitional effects). The ultimate effect of the full public collection of land rent would be to bring the selling price of land down to $0, while the rental value would remain the same (not counting the dynamic effects).

In reality, land value taxation isn't really a tax when properly understood. You either pay a previous owner in selling price or you pay the public the annual rental value. Most people don't properly consider that the selling price is simply the capitalized ability to capture future rents. In an ethical society, this privilege would not exist.

I think the confusion here is that LSD was initially synthesized from ergot fungus.

Ergot is not a mushroom and it does not contain LSD. But LSD is derived from the ergot alkaloids.

I have addressed whataboutism here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30510093

I can add a little bit more. When you are bringing up a value you think the other side has violated and when someone points out that you don't care about those values at all because the side you are defending does the exact same thing, boomers have been trained to pretentiously scream "whataboutism" and act as if that somehow makes their argument stronger. Boomer media just made that the last word and made it seem like it was a valid argument. It's not. It's like someone presenting a video evidence of your crime and you suing them for filming you without consent.

> Russia initiated the conflict without provocation

I saw plenty of provocation. I guess you are limited by your top-down media which filters out anything that doesn't align with their goals... so I understand why you would think that... but I'm inviting you to take a wider perspective and see it from the Russian side. If you think Russian action on Ukraine was unprovoked, do you also think the US acted disproportionately when the "Cuban missile crisis"? Or are you a hypocrite?

> there are a thousand similar reports from the last month.

Ukraine, NATO and the US have incentive to fabricate those reports... and Russia has reasons to deny them. The US has been caught hiding human rights abuses done by themselves and their allies while amplifying or even fabricating that of the enemy in the past. There's little reason to believe that they aren't doing it now.

Wars are messy and strategic advantage is paramount... and oftentimes, elements in them do things they think they can get away with... and these things are never fairly reported by either side. Amplification of wrongdoings of others and supperessing that of your own side is expected part of it. I expect both sides to do it for obvious reasons.
It's prescient, I think many people were feeling like their house was being invaded and molded by work requirements, and it wasn't a choice they were making. I think when someone chooses remote, it's their responsibility to offer a suitable working environment and that's clear.

For many working remotely is about the freedom of choice in the act of working, choose the time, choose the place, choose the equipment. Whereas the pandemic was a situation where that freedom didn't exist, so even previously remote workers were not as happy with remote work.

It was often trying to make an office environment out of a smattering of digital communication tools, and I think that's the wrong approach for remote work. Previously I had all the above flexibility, in the "everyone's remote" model, I was clocking on at 9am, sitting in 10x the bullshit meetings I used to be in as they tried to simulate ad-hoc communication, and all from my bedroom, not a co-working space or cafe or outdoors etc.
