In our case, we jumped ship because Unity had bugs and were unwilling to fix them for years.

> there's a population of people who got lied to and manipulated in order to kill people

Who isn't manipulated in situations like this?

Remember Iraqi soldiers killing babies? And Iraq having weapons of mass destruction? The first to get manipulated are always the general public.

After that it just matters who does the killing... if it's "our guys", then every bombed wedding and reuters reporter is foreing militant or a terrorist, and if it's "them", then it's a poor civilian. If you bomb a hospital, a civilian train, bus, building, bridge or whatever... again, if it's "our guys" it was "bad intel" or "a mistake", but if it's "them", it's "war crimes for intentionall killing civilians".
> Everyday hunger seems to be a habit. Once you are used to eating at a certain hour, you will feel hungry as it approaches

Mmmm I'm curious what happens wrt hunger if you eat at random times of the day, never the same.
I think an account is required, for at least a couple of reasons.

1. They will eventually require payment.

2. The service provides a lot of customisation options. Up and down ranking domains, for example, and setting up special filters. This kind of customisation can be built over many years and should carry with the user between browsers and devices.

Personally, I'm less worried about privacy and more about receiving accurate and unbiased search results. Of course, you can always use a VPN and use a burner email when you create the account.
Ok yes there is nunance in everything. But I said a balanced plant-based diet. The balanced is key. In my book, if you eat 4000 cals a day of plant-based meal, either you have a huge stomach volume or you're not eating balanced.
Your first paragraph targets world leaders but then your comments seem a bit ageist to me when IMHO they apply to most people regardless of age:

> We're having a frigging > climate crisis and still > not acting on it. So -nope.

Last time I was at a tech conference (fortunately years ago) the bulk of the audience and speakers were people in their 30s or younger and a lot of them had traveled long distances to get there. A few were frequent conference speakers traveling several times per year, all in very climate-unfriendly airplanes.

I see a lot of people under 30 who get expensive ICE cars as they progress in their careers, not to mention that if they have a good career in terms of revenue they’re most likely involved in something that negatively affects climate. I could go on.

> From different era where > world was a bit different, slower paced and pretty much black and white with two genders, fossil fuels and without those pesky women, gays and other minorities raising their voices.

Civil rights are surely not an invention of the current young generation. I’d argue that if we have a more vocal civil rights/social justice movement now it is thanks to all the people who are now over 70 or even dead and who were fighting that fight in more conservative times. This is also not something that’s uniformly distributed in the world or even in “civilized” places (sadly, I’d add), as I keep stumbling upon very young (decades younger than me) bigots far more frequently than I’d like (ok, to be honest, I’d like that frequency to be 0).

> This would presuppose empathy.

If all the young people you interact with are emphatic you’ve no idea how lucky you are. Suffice to say that school continues to be hell to a lot of weird kids right this very moment, that ain’t a problem that went away. That’s because most people are bigoted regardless of their age. If anything, I’ve seen a-holes become a bit less of that as they grow older.

I’ll take the role of unsolicited editor to your comment and suggest that you just say “People in power seem to make very slow and very wrong choices”, that would make it accurate.

I have used Uber a lot in Brazil and you can clearly perceive the deindustrialization of the country and the consolidation of large retail chains from the conversations with the drivers.

You get lots of people who had small businesses, sometimes even engineers and economists.

The last one I talked to had had a small machining shop.

In general I don't do well on interviews because I get nervous.

Having said that, for this specific case, 3 hours seems like a lot of time. All you have to do is find a similar command (probably the increment), trace it in the code (possibly with a debugger and some breakpoints), and copy/paste to add the funcionality for the multiply. Then, see if it compiles, it won't, and keep repeating until it compiles. Then, see if it works, it won't, and keep iterating until it does.

To be fair, in my first job 20 years ago I did this exact sort of thing for 3 years on a very large C/C++ codebase. Also, later when I was at Facebook I did this a lot in that humungous codebase (searching the codebase, finding the right place to make a change, looking for something in the neighbourhood that looks similar and can be copy/pasted).

So this interview question would be right up my alley.
I think it's clear that even though beyond meat is plant-based, it's not healthy. Note that I said balanced plant-based diet.
Creating a new account without Mother Fucker Authentication does not help to protect your "main" google account. Google regularly bans all accounts associated with bad-acting-accounts, and yours will surely be "associated".

It doesn’t seem particularly likely to be the cables when the same cable plus same external drive but with an Intel Mac results in the expected performance numbers.

There are two important point we can all see: desktop hw is more and more full of crappy firmware, more and more invasive, powerful in capabilities, out of our control etc AND there is a clear trend to converge toward the mobile world with is actually the worst IT world we have ever seen in closeness and surveillance terms. It's clear that in a not so far future having Windows ad EFI fw and a distro as a WSL application could be the sole choice for most.

Similarly the packaging part: actual trend to "sell" containers, pre-build images is a clear trend toward a proprietary world sold as FLOSS just because somewhere there is some code available. Just consider this: we do not need snap, appimages, flatpack, docker images, ... we have cgroups if isolation is needed and we have NixOS/Guix System. Commercial software, OpenSource-enterprise etc need those tools. Try to imaging why observing how real FLOSS development model was there in the recent past, the role of packagers.

Unfortunately most devs are born trained to proprietary development model sold as the best and sole paradigm, they can't even imaging something different than copy-cutting GAFAM models.
> You don't have to think **fast** ....

Seems like you skip a word in the GP's comment. Politicians has to think slowly, deliberately and (hopefully) correctly, which is to say that mental speed might not be the relevant factor at all.
I wonder where we are now. Long shadows of Hitler and eugenics do certainly have a chilling effect on research of intelligence etc.

Sounds like you've done a lot with your life already so now you're facing an issue about what's your purpose now. I think that's what you really need to figure out. I suggest traveling to open your eyes. Hopefully you'll find what you really want to achieve then.

Two quotes always comes up when I think about my purpose:

1. We're here to make a dent in the universe - This doesn't have to be about work, making more money, or building the latest gadget.

2. Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire - You don't have to save everyone, just one life, just make one difference to make all the difference.

Good luck!
Yes they are, but it's not about TSMC's superior quality, but the unsubstantiated BS that Samsung's chip manufacturing is a disaster.

And if you think that the U.S. is not using every tool in the box to win markets, including bad-mouthing foreign competitors and lying to win customers over, then you're just lying to yourself. Have you been living offline for the last 20 years? The Internet is a battlefield and no-one plays more dirty than the U.S.
It's absolutely not an accident. Given they've actually changed naming repeatedly, this move can only be interpreted as being a deliberate scheme to swindle consumers.
Except this model is practically "zero price". Yes, you can sell GPL software, but on the customer side, buying such software cannot be justified economically, if all you got to do is to find somebody/some place that will provide this software to you free of charge and legally so. The only customers that would pay are ones that do it for moral purposes, at which point your business selling GPL software isn't a business anymore, but something that receives charitable donations.

All of the open source companies/people that come to mind are not selling libre software, they are all selling some kind of service - support contracts, managed hosting, etc - or they embraced some kind of freemium/"open core" model (so they are really selling non-free software), or they are funded by charitable donations and sometimes public grants, often by having some large non-free companies being sponsors (Linus Torvalds is paid this way for example, through sponsorship money from the who-is-who of the non-free corporate world distributed through the Linux Foundation).

I don't think three meals a day are a problem that caused obesity... imho, the main cause are large quantities of very processed (calorie high) food and lifestyles with less physical movement. Even "real restaurants" (compared to fast food ones) add a ton of butter and other caloric ingredients to make food taste great, much more than someone cooking at home would add. Basically, it's calories in, calories out, and a full stomach of homemade healty-ish stuff has a lot less calories than what you get at a fast food joint or even an expensive restaurant.
The system I'd trust most is to have 2 attorneys given sealed envelopes with instructions to give them to your wife on your death. One attorney is given an envelope with the passwords to your accounts (or to your password manager) encrypted with a one time pad. The other attorney is given an envelope with the key to it. Each envelope includes instructions to decrypt. If you're giving her a password to a password manager, make sure she has access to the latest password archive and the software to open it.

Tedious, yes. But fairly reliable and you don't have to place any trust in your attorneys at all, unless they find out who their counterpart is and start working together (very unlikely). If this system wouldn't work for you, you've probably got bigger problems than having to worry about your wife getting into your email after you die.
The product is Schedule 1 at the Fed level. That is still very much illegal no matter what the states do. But the state can choose not to pursue law enforcement and/or prosecution. And that is what decriminalization is.

The States are at the mercy of the Fed schedule. States can do a lot of things. Legalize is not one of them. The best a state can do is decriminalize.

Put another way, as we all know, these dispensaries are overflowing rich in cash. Why? Because they can't get bank accounts? Why? Because of a lack of true legalization. Again, this is the difference between legalization and decriminalization.
I don't agree that it's not 'scientifically sound', it just depends on what signals the data actually shows. Natural experiments are never perfect and with something like isolation it's probably impossible to ever see such natural experiments without major confounders. I don't see why that makes you abandon the idea that anything can be learned at all.
We are talking about air fresheners not air purifiers.
It depends on the company. Especially in smaller companies, the success of the manager is very much tied to the success of the whole company, but yeah, in bigger enterprises it's often like you said.

I have found that sometimes (!) imposing an artificial timeline can bring the whole team together if done correctly. I've been in situations where projects weren't finished for a long time, everyone just cruised along, because there was no timeline and time to market was "when it is done". And there were always more important things to ship. This is bad for company and everyone involved... Just ship it, then iterate.
There’s gotta be some lobbying or consulting firm hired by manufacturers that’s using the same strategy between the two standards.

On knowledge that is freely given to them that they can build on. Also, there's now an unbelievable wealth of knowledge available to forego any of those engines and develop everything from scratch if they so chose.

Only... They can and they do sell for real money. No idea what "exploitation" you're talking about.

They perhaps were for some time, but both Uber and Lyft sold off their autonomous vehicle divisions a few years back. It makes more sense for an established car manufacturer to develop this as they already have the infrastructure to scale this and not require Uber to work on just software/hardware and rely on licensing or contractual agreements with car makers.

They’ve probably both realized it’s a very difficult task to go beyond simple routes and that it’s not a viable investment for a non-profitable company that’s burning through investor money trying to establish a monopoly.
I appreciate the notice. It's important to point out that the user appears to be suffering from schizophrenia, which is not really an attack. But I can understand how it can be misconstrued or hurtful.
I'm not really sure where this came from, but it's pretty much nonsense.

Tim Sweeney hasn't written rendering code (or engine code) in years, the Unreal rendering team is enormous these days.

> But its hell to do any real programming with. A project that took me two weeks or so in C# is taking months to reproduce in C++ and Blueprints.

How much of that is familiarity with C# vs unfamiliarity with C++? I find it pretty unbelieveable that someone couldn't reproduce 2 weeks of work in "months".

> UE5 is a very pretty FPS engine with a low-level plugin interface and a scripting language.

Unreal has its roots in an FPS, and that shines through in places, but this hasn't been true for over a decade. The gameplay framework in UE4 is suitable for (and has shipped) many different genres of games. Looking at even wikipedia's list [0] will show you a laundry list of games that are not FPS games that have shipped with Unreal. There are major ARPG, beatemup, open-world shooter, racing, straight up RPG games, and there have been other games announced that don't fit in those categories (e.g. RTS games).

> Unity is a programmable physics simulator that happens to have a render pipeline bolted onto it. It is much more flexible, though sadly not as pretty,"

This is a ludicrous take on Unity. How is it "more flexible" than Unreal? And the claim that it's "not as pretty" is also bizarre (well, up until very recently at least), Unity's pipeline is just as programmable as Unreal's, and sure at the very very very top end of the range of outputs it tops out Unreal, but an "average" PBR pipeline in Unity and an "average" PBR pipeline in Unreal with zbrush sculpts and substance textures/materials is going to be comparable.

I think it's time to forgo this idea that investors do any due diligence anymore. They just look at price going up and someone hyping it going up further and jump on the train, thinking they can sell it for more later... And then justifying the price by some far future market dominance and magic tech actually coming real, see Uber and Tesla... Or even with social media companies like Twitter to actually turn decent profit...
Starting with "Wow, what a stupid argument" is disrespectful. Consider that a kind statement will get your point across equally without coming off as a jerk.

While the value of Facebook is not what is principally questioned (it is rather a question of either trade negotiation or privacy legislation), the value loss of Facebook and Instagram ceasing to run in Europe is what Meta is using as pressure; addressing that isn't stupid.
Just because a marginal cable works on one machine doesn't mean it'll work on another.

I used a USB cable, but I retested with an active TB4 cable with the same results. And again with a passive TB3 cable to the same results.
There's already a c decompilation that was fixed to work on other architectures and operating systems by other people.
In the UK the black cabs and other taxi services have rolled out similar apps. Uber prices have gone up to the point that a cab is often enough the same price if not cheaper. Never mind that black cab drivers know optimal routes by heart while Uber drivers are often just following phone navigation and getting lost.
That’s not completely false, but it’s misunderstanding aging.

Lack of energy is one of the signs of aging. Staying up to 3 AM to party and going to work the next day is one end, but the other is trying to convince yourself to do more than sit in a chair all day. It’s not that people get lazy it’s that everyone slows down and learning new things or doing anything difficult just takes more out of you every single year.

Age related decline is biological and not everyone has identical DNA. The need for reading glasses varies quite a bit and is probably a good yardstick. Some people get their first reading glasses at 40 other’s 60, that’s a huge range.

As such just because some people are running marathons at 90 doesn’t mean most people could do that, it’s self selecting for people with minimal declines. The other half of this is injury/disease/height etc can make a huge difference.
Are gyms really that costly to run that they can't sustain on a moderate paying userbase? I'm talking basic cardio and weight gyms, not the mega gyms with a pool and massage. The property might be prime but a lot of that comes to the choice of LA Fitness, 24, etc. choosing to build their own custom building in prime areas. Smaller gyms like Planet Fitness tend to use otherwise empty storefronts.
If you want access from an app on your phone yes, not just to have access.

The fact is it’s not just us that are stakeholders in the devices we carry. Our mobile network provider is a stakeholder, the manufacturer is a stakeholder, our bank is a stakeholder. This is why e.g. we don’t have unlimited rights over the bank cards or those access code generator devices some banks used to issue.

If you want to use your phone for some of the functions of a bank card, then some of your banks interests in the functioning and management of that card roll over into your phone. If you want to play a social online game on your device, then now the games company and the wider community of gamers playing that game with you has an interest in the management of your device. If you don't like that, that's fine you should be able to have as much control over your device as you want ideally, but you wont be playing those games or using those services.

Cory Doctorow is one of the few people in the techie public space that seems to have a really good grip on these issues and some practical ideas on how to solve these problems, through chains of trust based on users owning the keys to the chain of trust on their devices. It’s a really hard complex problem though.
In my experience (though not strictly random, just mainly determined by unpredictable outside influences) you get hungry at random times of the day too.

I've noticed that if I choose my meal carefully, then I can eat one big meal per day at lunch, and not go hungrier than usual.

It gets quite boring after a while, but breaking this once a week with an extra pizza, burger, or whatever, might be the trick to keep this up.

So far I have NOT been able to keep the diet, the discipline is difficult, but from everything I read, eating less results in improved health.
The main driver for the ascension of Uber is that everybody hates taxis and taxi drivers. I don't care if it's more expensive or not, I don't want to deal ever again with taxi drivers that are not accountable for their bad service.
Algorithms are funny this way. Most of the time you don't need them, but when you do (and if you don't, you can't tell it when), it is a world of difference.

Still, just knowing they exist and how to formulate the search is usually enough.
It used to be local but since the pandemic, our meetup became online only.

We get people from all around the world, often without webcams so it’s like a multi-person phone call, which helps it feel more comfortable (especially when sharing vulnerable emotions).

Whichever path you choose, I wish you luck with your journey.
That shouldn't give them a pass to provide scummy cancellation practices. Most people I know who don't use their gym membership have also never tried to cancel.
> But the cables should be marked clearly...

How about by using different ports? Imagine if instead of playing whack a mole with 4 usb-c ports on my laptop, 2 usb c ports on my monitor and a bag of cables, I could plug a cable that fits into the port it fits into?
If you see his points and still disagree that's fair enough
