> What are the titles that need to be that much performant?

Nearly every single game no matter what it looks like makes performance trade offs.

Number of enemies on screen, ai search depth, world size, world granularity, whether to allow partial transparency, number of lights, number/complexity of systems etc…

Even for something that may look like just another indie side scroller.

Sometimes these constraints breed creativity. But if you use game maker/unity, you will find yourself regularly running into performance issues that will require problem solving.

The same is true when making an engine, but the problem space is far, far more nuanced than just: some types of games don’t need to worry about performance and so are fine using game maker/unity.
How does that stop ”microsoft technical support” from calling you 8 times per day?
The Final Season, Part 3
I've often wondered how they or someone else decides what should or should not be blurred. They used to blur a nuclear weapons storage area that I had to secure but they stopped blurring it some years ago.
Seems it measures how well you can use shell tooling to code. Personally, I find it foolish to ignore decades of advances in IDEs, so am not part of the cult of "you're not a real programmer unless you use Vim/Emacs". I also find it ridiculous to ask someone to learn a codebase with unfamiliar tooling.
Also the state "insuring" something is often pointless; the state is larger than any insurer and can simply self-insure.

This is most commonly seen in major disasters where the insurance companies fail and the state steps in.
> I wasn't comparing proprietary software to slavery. I was making the point that for Stallman proprietary software is as unethical as slavery is to most people. Maybe I picked the wrong thing to make the analogy, it could have worked just as well with theft, murder, or any other unethical behavior.

Wow. There is a continuum from good behaviour to unethical behaviour to evil.

To conflate and compare and equivalate unethical behaviours like theft with true evils like slavery or murder is beyond unhelpful.

I don't see how proprietary has even been established as unethical let alone a evil equivalent to slavery.

Please stop making this argument on Stallman's behalf.
There could also be things in the contact like address or other information that it was going off of.
Here's the thing.

An average 30 year old who is not doing sports will not lose muscle mass by itself.

An average 50 year old will lose 1% per year or so.

If you get older you have to work just to keep the status quo.
My question is what's happening with military vehicles? Will they stay with diesel or move to something like hydrogen. If they stick with diesel then the cost of war is going to increase as the economies of scale shrink.
You were satisfied with with empty calories? That's what I would consider this with the information you provided. Did the company you sent this removal request a) respond, b) honor your request? If no, then what you did was essentially waste your time. If they did, why not add that information to your post?

Note that codified aliases are limited, but you can create a catch-all account. I have not needed to codify aliases to send "as" one of those accounts.
Tesla's self-built infrastructure manages to deal with the (perhaps) 2.5M cars they have put on the road. That's roughly 1% of the total number of automobiles in the USA. I don't think I need to say any more.
Yeah totally weird and for many Americans to get a call from a foreign country code is very unusual. I started getting spam with apparent chinese origin numbers within the past few months.
Everything is building blocks. For the project I linked it’s fully collateralized - you can’t withdraw money that would make the system unstable. Other projects build on other pieces of infrastructure to do all of that automatically.

Again it seems like the person I’m talking to understands very little about this space because your questions are rudimentary to anyone who understands crypto, but you comment as if you are an authority. This is the central problem with HN and crypto conversations.
HFC is more than likely going to win out in the end.

The larger issue is that Hybrids were jumped over for no reason.
If you love chicken, find a local farmer. I grew up raising chickens for 4H, and we never bought meat or eggs. Go down to your county fair this year and buy a few for the freezer. It is absolutely a night and day difference from anything you will find at the store.
Most of the spam calls I receive are already illegal because they're scams or phishing. It's an enforcement problem here, not a legislation problem.

It's illegal in the US too. But the nature of our phone system here leaves us open to (largely) untraceable calls from foreign countries.
> phones being able to be eavesdropped/wiretapped even when turned off.

Nobody is auditing the baseband firmware blobs, and with non-removable batteries phones are never really turned off. I would be surprised if the NSA doesn't have a backdoor in it. Pure conjecture, of course, but the alphabet soup boys have the motivation, the ability, and the history, of getting their backdoors put into tech.
> They've been against electric vehicles for years now.

This is such a weird take when the Toyota Prius has been around for over 20 years.
Oh weird, I was just reading about that.
Nope. It's still totally pre-paradigmatic.
You report it to the police, and police finds the perpetrators and fines the shit out of them.
This used to work for me, but lately I have been getting spam from my current area and other areas that I previously lived. not sure what list they are using now, but it's a good one.
I'm in Brazil and right after I signed up for a new number, I was getting 15 spam calls per day, everyday. They recycle numbers here so some of those were "legit" but meant for previous owners. As an American with a US number too, the difference is night and day. My US number gets 1-2 spam calls per week or per two weeks.

But yeah, I do the same. All set to auto ignore, even though it means one or two necessary calls are missed (ex. my cc company wanted to inform me they were cancelling their partnership and thus closing all cards).
Ambulances sometimes have a lot of distance to cover. There’s life outside large cities, too.
You’re talking about dress weight, whereas most of the stats and infographics in that Twitter thread are about live weight. You lose plenty of mass (often a quarter) when you pluck, gut, and dress a chicken.

Of course that doesn’t account for the whole difference. I have looked into raising Cornish Cross in my small farm, the “Frankenstein” breed the thread derides. And the expected live weight at slaughter age for the specific ones [1] I’m considering is 4.5lb for hens and 6lb for cockerels.

At least one person at work is using something like that to drive two displays from the M1, so I suspect it can be made to work well enough.

Seems we should be making internet a utility then. The second things like court meetings or paying the bills for other utilities were happening over the internet is the second internet becomes a utility.
> His voicing his opinion for the show.

The plaintiffs claim that Alex Jones was `not` voicing his opinion.

#9 in the Sandy Hook complaint (https://drive.google.com/file/d/12mHNXnFQo2nH555yJxC5JIEEeAo...) is ...

"Alex Jones does not in fact believe that the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax -- and he never has."

Do you have evidence that Alex Jones' did, in fact, have the belief that the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax, at the time he made the statements?
You're right at the typical age to get bifocal glasses. For nearsighted/farsighted it's the shape of a person's eye as they grow. For close up text it's the flexibility of the eye that is the problem.

I managed to get to age 53 before needing bifocal glasses but I really should have had bifocals around age 47. Books were OK at age 46 but getting hard to read at 47. My phone screen was the final straw when I had to hold it with my arm nearly completely stretched.

Once you get them you realize it's not the "light is too dim", it's not "they make text too damn small these days!", or the font style, it's your eyes. With bifocal glasses (or just reading glasses) it's amazing to see small text again.
> It happens far too often to be some sort of Baader-Meinhof phenomenon (or whatever).

Hmmm... is awareness of the Baader-Meinhof phenomena leading to an increase in its own phenomena because one actively tries to disprove it by deliberately noticing an even greater frequency due to their own awareness of it?
> vote with over 80% for their indipendence from Spain.

92% with a turnout of 43%. Hardly a resounding win for the independence side. Since the referendum was arguably illegal, a lot of people voted by staying home.
It's a big leap. The "successful" communications systems are post, phone, and email, none of which have the property you claim is essential to success. And none of the systems with that property are in fact successful.

It's worse:

The Analytics tools know so much about you that they can actually predict what you're thinking much of the time. They know the new family went to your church and know you would likely talk about it.

Luckily I did not have to deal with that during my tenure (I left in 2016). However, we had experimented with other changes to memcached as well as similar changes to other codebases. There is no shortage of OSS projects to draw from. However, calibrating something that's doable in about an hour is really tough.

As a game developer, there are two main reasons we don’t write tests:
A. because the game design is constantly changing, so any tests would slow down iteration time.
B. because the game has so much state it would be very hard to accurately recreate it.
Lots of things can happen to your brain as you age. But if it's physically healthy, there's not much difference between people of different ages. Noam Chomsky is 93 and, though he speaks more slowly, his mind is sharp as ever. It's just that, statistically speaking, older people have a higher chance of physical problems inside the brain or brain cells, probably many we don't even know about yet.

The places where they are mined in Chille, Australia, China. There is only 1 mine AFAIK in the US and there are huge issues due to large water scarcity and environmental concerns.

Nevermind the issues regarding the other components like Cobalt, Nickel which are the specific constrains here.

The reality is that the world is in no position to scale the production of such materials to meet the demands for every EV manufacturer, home battery production, consumer electronics, industrial and steel production all expecting 200+% growth simultaneously.
No, the problem is that a string of spam calls could be a false flag attack. If you wanted to drive your competition out of business, you’d just pay some spam callers to dial everyone on the do not call list and lie about who hired them
That particular loophole drives me up a wall. I routinely get upwards of a dozen political emails a day simply because I sent $20 to my district's US Representative once and only once.

I understand why things like ActBlue exist to centralize this kind of stuff in terms of contributions, but the comms side of things is still completely backwards.
That seems to be his Twitter indeed. What about the warrant and that he should have been arrested already if he's doing something illegal?
Oh, thanks! I've pushed that to the top of the queue (but which I'm woefully behind on now without a commute)
Like a completely different argument. People choose to equivalate bad things to evils like slavery or the holocaust for a reason and all of those reasons are bad.
Why were the devs not responsibly informed?
(Belgian here) After the facebook data leak in 2021 I got 2 or 3 spam calls a week from various numbers but mostly from the UK. I started reporting them as spam immediately and for the last couple of weeks it seems to have died down.

> All of these stakeholders should have a say in what is done with twitter.

I love the new propaganda term "stakeholder". Stakeholders do have a say. If you don't like twitter, don't use it.

> I think these tech billionaires think they can make better decisions for everyone

No. They think they can make better decisions for themselves. Bezos didn't buy washingpostpost for everyone's benefit. Musk isn't trying to buy twitter for everyone's benefit. You don't become a billionaire by thinking of other people. Their PR team pushes propaganda telling the naive masses that these billionaires are doing it for the benefit for society.

> we can have firms that are capable of making decisions that make people happier and societies a better place.

How would "stakeholder capitalism" do such a thing? If there is an atheist stakeholder, a muslim stakeholder, an lgbt stakeholder and an anti-lgbt staekholder? And by "people", do you mean most people or the privileged woke leftists?

What we need is more competition. How we do that? Not really sure. Though I think nationalism is a good start. Why are japanese, brazilians, hungarians, etc all using twitter? They should be using their own national versions. And then maybe we'll get intranational versions of twitter competing with each other.

Yeah, I was stretching to try to come up with an example. In this case, it sounds like a good all around.
I don’t understand why some BEV fans hate hydrogen so much and some hydrogen fans hate BEV so much.

There are drawbacks to both and advantages to both.

BEVs work well for small and city vehicles, hydrogen for large transport vehicles and off-road type stuff.

Best of all, if we use two, three or four energy sources for our stuff instead of just one, that spreads the load on earth’s resources.
I agree, and was to note that I loved the soundtrack, too.
You clearly have an M1 Pro or M1 Max MPB since you have an HDMI port. The base M1 models support the built-in display and 1 external display except the M1 Mini that's allowed 1 monitor over HDMI and 1 external display over TB. The Pro, Max and Ultra M1 models allow more displays.
I'd like an easy way to query, diagnose USB cords.

They now contain their own chips. Right? So there's gotta be some kind of POST. Right?

If so, I should be able to ask the cord what it can do, if it thinks its broken, etc.
Is not BS it is a synthetic effort from the government? Lol.

Go there and experience it yourself and try to create an objective opinion from it. Another fact, most of the first generation immigrants will learn Spanish way earlier than Catalan, if they ever learn Catalan at all. And I am not saying this is bad, as for practical reasons they will obviously learn the 4th most spoken language in the world before learning a language that is spoken by 7 million people. Besides they know that with Spanish they can communicate with everybody, which is not the case with Catalan.

More rigor and an independent point of view from politicians and media is needed if there is a real will to solve the issue.
I think they'll stick with diesel and whatever kind of jet fuel powers the M1 Abrams. Cost has never been much of a consideration for the military.
That's probably how they made it through the pandemic. Piles of cash from yearly subscriptions and no labour costs since nearly all the gym workers were laid off.
An ad and analytics package in any app with enterprise credentials could have this permission (or in an app you authorized to listen for a different reason)

and the analytics package creator and data brokers are going to be laughing for decades

Orwell was a socialist before he went to Spain and remained one until his death regardless what some people might or might not claim.
Alex Jones has been hiding his wealth so he won't have to pay financial penalties for his frankly appalling behavior. Filing for bankruptcy while listing little of value is simply the next step in his attempts to duck out of the consequences of his malicious actions. His house in West Austin is worth at least a million dollars if not a few and Infowars has some goofy looking 4x4 SVU that has been heavily modified to appear intimidating and must be worth more than $50,000:

Finding the physical location of the origins of these calls is not hard at all. We just choose to ignore it.
> Why? To solve what exactly? In a sane world, it'd be major.minor, with nothing appended at the end.

It's always important to get acquainted with a topic before succumbing to the desire to mindlessly criticize in ignorance.

A quick search in Wikipedia shows that USB 3.1 specifies a brand new transfer rate, dubbed SuperSpeed+ transfer mode, "(...)which can transfer data at up to 10 Gbit/s over the existing USB3-type-A and USB-C connectors (1200 MB/s after encoding overhead, more than twice the rate of USB 3.0)".

This is a different transfer mode than the SuperSpeed transfer rate specified in USB 3.0.

To allow implementations to support both transfer speeds, the implementations that supported SuperSpeed transfer rates were dubbed USB 3.1 Gen1, while the implementations that supported SuperSpeed+ transfer rates were dubbed USB 3.1 Gen2.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0

To me that's a very convenient, and customer-centric way of putting together a standard. So there's a minor addition to a major release. Is that left to an annex? No. Do we fork standards? No. We just release a backwards-compatible v3.1 standard that in practice deprecates v3.0 and thus allows the whole industry to avoid piling up the list of current standards that we care about.
> What’s your alternative?

I didn't comment here to propose an alternative, just to point out that the proposed approach isn't so good for some people, including myself.

Since you asked, maybe people should stop looking for the one true way of interviewing and realise that they're hiring actual humans, not robots. The hiring process in this industry has become this lazy meat grinder which most people with actual decision making power swear by while bemoaning the lack of diversity (and I don't mean just gender). Some day, perhaps the industry will move towards more inclusive approaches.
The "decline after 60" conclusion of the article rings true to me. I switched intellectual focus and mastered entirely new fields regularly throughout the 40 years between when I left college at age 20, and my early 60s. That switching and new learning kept me fresh, and my ability to do productive intellectual work - the mental speed measured in the Nature article - held up very well. But it began to noticeably decline in my early 60s. This was not due to life choices, as you suggest - I had an active interest and incentives, and put effort into, maintaining my abilities, and probably had more time and opportunity than ever. Rather, it just became noticeably harder to learn, and to use learning to solve problems or do creative work.

A data point of one proves nothing, of course. But my experience at the very least provides no counterexample to the article's hypothesis.

As for the physical - sure, you can maintain a greater peak performance than what most people do, as you age. But regardless of the effort, it's pretty much going to go down hill - strength, reaction time, coordination - after you're 30. You can slow it down, maybe dramatically if you're on the tail of the curve and put enough effort in (c.f. Tom Brady), but you can't stop it. And the effort required per "retained ability" just goes up.

I think we should have driven in hybrid mode until we figure out a better battery/energy technology.
Yes. Well, they have a license sharing agreement with Ford.

But their early patents have run out, so there's the possibility of other brands building effective hybrids now. Though Hyundai/KIA have made strides in the Big Ass Starter method of hybridization.

I convinced my wife of the opposite by deciding to talk about a topic we never talk about in front of our phones. She was worried that she was seeing ads for things she'd talked about and I said that it was more than likely that she had searched for similar things and was getting ads based on what she likes. She wasn't convinced.

So, we chose X. Neither of us play or follow X in any way. It's not something we'd search for or anything related to it. But we experimented with talking about X and at least one famous Xer that we could name. With our phones on the table.

We never received any advertising about X.
> a fundamental realization that the pipedream of a house in a suburb with 2 EV cars for every individual isn't a sustainable plan.

Nor is a house in the suburbs with 2 ICE cars sustainable. Yet I haven't seen any conversation since the recent petroleum price increase about investing in better mass transit in suburbs in the US.
That would make it much easier to stretch the natural resources like Lithium (think electric buses)

We appear to be trapped not only in car dependent infrastructure but also the car dependent mindset.
They switched this off for everyone at some point. Call customer service and they'll turn it back on.
That would be nice...if carriers had actually implemented STIR/SHAKEN with no exceptional conditions that political organizations could use. As currently done, the National DNC list is basically useless.

You may want to reread my original post carefully.

> I truly hope that you are wrong and Stallman does not believe proprietary software to be an evil on par with slavery.

I can't claim to know the internal ranking of evil things in Stallman's mind, but nonfree software is very clearly beyond the line of unjustifiable evil for him.

Not just Americans.

My Thai phone number got slammed this week and I've had many friends here complain about all the scammers. Apparently they will have 1 person pretend they are the police and one of my friend's friend (not the brightest person) started crying thinking it was real

From my observations, Thai people are very trusting and nice so unfortunately this is probably a very profitable operation
