Some of these types of things happen at other gaming companies as well. I worked at a leading multiplayer online gaming company that has some of the most played games in the world.

There was a person that pushed for a feature in a game citing "decline in player base" that needed to be remediated ASAP. The data was being shown with reports that this was the case and these reports were escalated to the CEO and leadership for the game.

The feature was in development for over a year, released, and had incredibly negative player reception. So much that we started to see an ACTUAL decline in player engagement due to the nature of the change.

Retrospectively, re-analyzing the reports we found that there was a critical transformation happening that caused for most of our players and our most engaged players to be removed from the number of total players. This was an incredibly small bug that was caused by not accounting for a previous feature release in the game.

Essentially a data engineering/PM bug and pushing of a perspective caused for a lack of double checking the data and caused for the company to make an incredibly bad bet on a new feature that actually removed player engagement.

This is why it is helpful to use data, but validate, and listen to players at every step of the way. Player happiness will drive engagement, manufacturing engagement is much harder.
It reads like a copy/paste from a listicle. However Google (no big surprise these days) failed to turn up results for me with the exact phrasing.

This is pretty standard for a takeover process. As the sale is far from complete it’s normally considered safer not to make any changes that could threaten the sale or commit the company to something the new owner doesn’t want.
good god these performance differences are legitimately terrifying
The sex of an organism
is defined by the type of gamete an organism produces (or will produce, or used to produce, or would produce if it was healthy, etc.) If an organism produces relatively large gametes that don’t move much, if at all (i.e eggs), it is female. If it produces small motile gametes (i.e. sperm) it is male. This holds true for all animals and plants that reproduce sexually, as it is the basic biological distinction between the sexes.

Chromosomes themselves aren’t sex, and only some animals’ sexes are “programmed” by their chromosomes. For example, alligator embryos’ (future) sex is determined by their incubation temperature.

People with Klinefelter syndrome are male because they have testicles, underdeveloped as they may be.

> You notice it sometimes if you compare electronics sold in Japan to those sold in the US. The market here is seen to not support 'too many' buttons and features so we get a dumbed down version.

I'm assuming "here" is USA. I don't know much about what's sold in Japan, but I feel like most gadgets still have way too many buttons. I'd wager that most microwave users don't know what most of the buttons on a microwave do. I certainly don't. I'd love to get one with a more streamlined UI, but they're hard to find. Remote controls are similar. I'm kind of scared to imagine what a Japanese microwave might look like.

I agree, but in crypto for example they use the term "cryptographically random" as in for the purposes of computing it is not possible to predict the value.

As a complete outsider to the field, I had no idea what is meant by random in a mathematical sense because I thought math was always realistic, as in it mirrors real things, you can't have 2+2=3 because reality doesn't work that way.
The new numerology feels like science doesn't it.

Learning to use CMake/autotools is kind of like learning SQL when all you know is Python.

CMake/autotools syntax is nothing like C/C++, or actually any general purpose programming language, so you basically need to become familiar with this new language/paradigm in addition to knowing C/C++.

But like with most programming languages, once you grok it you will more easily learn other build systems. They all solve similar problems after all.

You just gotta pick one and learn it. I mean, you don't have to, you can write your own build scripts in bash or whatever but eventually you'll just end up inventing a new, probably crappy build system :)

> really hard for me to read and understand.

I agree and empathize. I tried figuring them out by looking at other people's Makefiles but they are all so wildly different between projects, it's like there is no standard/convention to writing them (and there is not as far as I can tell). Additionally, make has so much magic/internal/inferred/assumed behavior, variables etc. that it's really hard to figure out what they do by just reading them. Especially since they don't use familiar flow control structures like functions calls or even gotos. This also makes debugging hard.

I only learned make when I've started writing my own C/C++ projects. The documentation is actually quite good. Going from make to CMake was much easier then.

As a fellow Scandinavian I was in a similar position as you 2018, except that I was looking for MLE job with a (Software) Robotics background.(because beside ABB there were no robotics interest there).

Tl;dr I moved to Japan and worked in ML (ish) job. Once you start working it becomes remarkably easier to not be scoffed for lack of experience (even if you learned very little in that job)

Job security is high in Scandinavian countries and as an consequence people hire very risk-averse. risky/not so established jobs such as ML positions, they'll be actively looking for reasons NOT to hire you
The phone app model is also better from a public health perspective. Having hundreds of people use the same touchscreen kiosk is a vector for spreading infection, especially since it is used right before eating.

1. There's no ban on the Russian language.

2. Yes? Maybe Russia shouldn't have been engaged in heavy-handed meddling in the country before that and the population wouldn't be pissed off at them and want the military base to go away.

3. Most indications are that Ukraine also reigned it in significantly.

---------

> and accepting billions in military aid from USA (yes, USA was pumping a ton of weapons in Ukraine BEFORE the war, USA itself said so!)

The war has been ongoing since 2014, with Russia arming the other side in the occupied areas.

Again, if Russia didn't want Ukraine to be desperately trying to leap into bed with the West....it shouldn't have invaded it in 2014 and should have respected it's sovereignty. Quite frankly, they probably could have kept it neutral or pulled it back in orbit in the long run with disinformation campaigns like have worked elsewhere.

--------

Beyond that, in your last paragraph, I think you are vastly, vastly, overstating the capacity of the Russian military.

Which many did before the war - people believed Russia's claims of reforming and rearming their military, but is clearly off the mark now.

Russia has committed pretty much the entirety of it's active ground forces to the campaign beyond the bare minimum to not leave the rest of the country totally undefended. It is watching massive quantities of it's men and equipment being destroyed, including many of it's best units and equipment.

Much of what Russia is losing right now in every area of equipment is likely irreplaceable given the impact of sanctions and their inability to produce crucial parts in country.

The premise that Russia is somehow "holding back" as some master strategy to look like complete idiots on the world stage and watch all their stuff get blown up first, is absurd.

If they had larger stocks of intermediate-range missiles, they'd be using them and things would look like the US "shock & awe" of the Iraq War. They aren't because they can't.

Not to mention that the Ukrainian Air Force still has a majority of it's aircraft flying and still has significant long-range anti-aircraft weapons active. Again, there is zero reason for Russia to not have destroyed all of this immediately....if they could. The obvious conclusion for the inability to do so is that they can't, not that they're waiting for some mysterious future time when they'll show their true power.
Cooperative multitasking architecture. If the frontmost thread doesn't `WaitNextEvent`, not even the OS gets a chance to update the UI (with some key exceptions... I think the mouse was interrupt-driven?).

OS 8 started to add preemptive multitasking, but it wasn't mandatory and apps had to buy-in to it (so they didn't break backwards compatibility).

Incidentally, games would squeeze a few more cycles out of the computer by using `getNextEvent` or accessing the input drivers directly, which wouldn't give other processes a chance to do things. This would lead to the hilarious consequence (especially when the networking era came along) that you'd play a game for a couple hours, quit it, and be greeted by several error dialogs as various processes that had been wanting to poll for timed events discovered they'd missed their polling windows because they essentially just came out of suspended animation.

The need for always-available network access finally spelled out the death of the non-preemptive architecture; networking simply couldn't tolerate the client dropping out of the universe for ages at a time.

Even the fact that a particular piece of software is used by a specific IP address is enough PII that it's covered under GDPR by most viewpoints. The fact that Microsoft is collecting even more data doesn't excuse telemetry in PowerShell at all.

I would simply wish for no telemetry to happen at all without user consent. If Microsoft wants information about how people use their software or how stable it is and not enough people opt in, they should fucking pay people money for market research and QA.
The question is, does science contradict how maories build boats? The question is not if Maori had incredible seafaring skills and knowledge about navigation. The question is Maori mythsticism an equally valid system for explaning the world? If you believe in this relativism, than the only conclusion is that the fundamental Christian genesis is also equally as valid and we should also teach creation in science classes. I strongly reject this view.
Any ideas on how one might “build a culture of reading and writing documentation”?
Either legislation is changed or enforcement is gone. It is standard to see cash price posting with notices about convenience and processing fees at NY restaurants for example and of course has always existed for gas pricing.

I charge processing fees myself and after confirming myself also had local legal vet it. It was years ago but at the time there was just a cap on what that fee can be (4%)

I sold merchant processing in my twenties for a bit, that was definitely a real or assumed regulation at that time.

This suggests that there are state level regulations that may not align nationally to me
Totally unrelated, but just briefly to say, thanks for your work with Cygnus.

I doubt I'd have been able to build a career for myself in software engineering without Cygwin being available and lively back in the days when I was required to use Windows fulltime, and along with that I learned a lot from working with it that's been of great help to me ever since. And I'm to this day running Cygwin on the one Windows box I still maintain!

So, thanks for whatever hand you had in that. If you ever find yourself in Baltimore and thirsty, hit me up and I'll buy you that beer or other suitable beverage I owe you. :D

>seems arbitrary whats considered a "bad actor".

Well, I guess if you’re a moral relativist that might be the case. I mean, why not burn the rest of the planet down for temporary profits? Why not enslave children in the Congo? It benefits the shareholders after all. How about murder and torture for hire? These decisions just seem so arbitrary. *shrug*

Next six months will be really interesting to watch. Twitter leadership will be paralyzed until Musk arrives. There's no point executing a roadmap that could be abandoned so soon. Leadership is also the most likely to be pushed out first. Everyone at Twitter is taking a paid vacation until Elon arrives, possibly using the time to look for another job. For the health of the company they should loop Elon in as soon as possible.

Electric Vehicles: when will Africa be ripe for Mass Adoption?
Africa continues to lag in the transition and acceptance of electric vehicles compared to Europe, which overtook China as the center of the global electric vehicle market for the first time. The region witnessed electric vehicle sales of 3 million, with registration doubling to 4.1 million. China has been the world’s largest EV market since 2015. According to the Chinese ministry of public security, there are about five million EVs in China, accounting for more than half of the world’s total.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the enormous disparity in EV adoption between areas is due to the number of hurdles that EV growth faces.

In most African nations, electric cars are still uncommon. With a one-in-a-million chance of discovering one, even South Africa, Africa’s largest EV market, can only present 1,000 EVs out of more than 12 million cars.

Even fewer electric cars are in use in most other African nations, particularly in West Africa, because second-hand automobiles are the most popular vehicles; according to a report, Africa receives 40% of worldwide used vehicle exports.

No worry. Europe has secret source of energy:

(Google-translated. This information is only in Finnish Wikipedia.)

"Finland's peat reserves are double those of the known oil reserves in the North Sea and 2/3 of Norway's known oil reserves. Finland's peat resources are almost ten times the energy of our country's wood resources and 35 times the volume of the forest."

Only problem is the current Red-Green government which has banned and destroyed this industry which once (2007) employed 12000 people.

But no worry, those wimps do always what European Union tells them to do. This energy is definitively more "environmental" than Russian Gas. Also you can generate gas from those peat fields too.

"See you starside."
For fuzz, anti and anti-aliasing issues, you can sometimes make them worse with a HiDPI display.

All of these issues really boil down to render resolution not integer scaling to the display resolution.

If the render resolution is an integer multiple of the display resolution or vice versa, you will generally always get beautiful crisp rendering - this is exactly the approach Apple adopted, and is why they had to use some slightly less common resolutions like 5k on some devices - 2560x1440/"QHD" has integer scaling factor of exactly 2 for a 5k display etc.

The problem though is that outside of Apple devices, almost no hiDPI display will neatly integer sale. The vast majority of Hi-DPI monitors on sale today are 4k, and only 1080p really has a useable integer scaling factor there. 1080p of "useable" screen real estate on a 4k monitor is going to make all UI elements too big usually though... So you are forced to non-integer scaling and images that will not cleanly map to the grid of pixels in the monitor, which is where the fuzz and anti-aliasing etc starts... 1440p of "usable" space does not cleanly map to a 4k monitor, but many people run them this way.

5k is frankly a brilliant resolution for high quality ~200ppi style HiDPI rendering on 27 inch displays with 2x integer scaling for macOS and Windows especially, its tragic the resolution hasn't become more mainstream.

Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of technology:
1a: the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area
1b: a capability given by the practical application of knowledge
2: a manner of accomplishing a task especially using technical processes, methods, or knowledge
3: the specialized aspects of a particular field or endeavor

It sounds like you're referring to technology involving computers.

First, it's okay to feel what you're feeling (as if you need permission to have emotions, but I find it helpful to remind myself, so I'll risk it). It's also okay to change, to let go of the need to renew interest in computer-related technology, and do something different. This could be a roundabout way to get back into it; perhaps after a break ("and now for something completely different" - Monty Python) to clear your mind and emotional attachments you'll see a new way in?

If this is about maintaining income, that adds some stress. Ideally we work on things that align with our values (my most rewarding work has been in education at small schools that give the teachers reasonable creative control, and now as a stay-at-home dad). What do you care about?

If you're feeling lost story-wise, I recommend reconnecting with the land. I've found it meaningful to work towards replacing the lawn with prairie plants and trees that have a long history of growing in this region, along with growing more food in the garden. Increasing the biodiversity in the soil leads to more birds and small mammals; observing other life seems healthy for a young child, and I find it enjoyable. I'm practically-applying knowledge I've gained from mentors (in-person and from books, podcasts, video). At a minimum, growing a few plants indoors is a start.

I this helps. Good luck!
