I don't know, weirdly I was today years old when I realised that FIFA [the game] was named after the football governing body. Might just be a me thing.

FIFA is the football videogame brand. Not using that name is a huge marketing change. (Like I know EA own other sports games, know their brand id and slogan, but honestly thought 'FIFA' was it's own company.)

What interests me is what would happen if FIFA the governing body try to lease their trademark to another football videogame maker -- that would be some serious market confusion, but could EA do anything about it legally? Any precedents?
Well, it's my perception that this was a nice little earner for FIFA in that EA did all the work whilst they got a massive pay off. They are obviously thinking about taking up their own financial opportunities more, and that's presumably why they bumped up their valuation. Time will tell on that front, but I think it's a massive error. FIFA don't have the competentcy.

EA are no saints either, of course. FIFA the game has morphed into a microtransaction nightmare. But I think they will still get their $6bn with or without FIFA on the box, Ultimate Team is the brand now. The only thing derailing that train is legislation (increasingly likely given how it targets children)
Me one of them.
Sorry if you already know this, but it's literally just the name on the box, not licensing for leagues, player names etc. I see basically no value in that name, it may even be a negative given their poor reputation (corruption etc).
It only seems like that but people in the US have to pay for things that Europeans take for granted. You might earn more, but most people would end up with less disposable income.
There are many tools in sbin that should have been in bin instead. For example, there’s no need to run ifconfig as root if you only want to display the current set of addresses. Yet it lives in sbin.

This means that in practice people will just add sbin to PATH to get a somewhat usable system, which makes the division between bin and sbin useless.

Furthermore, on BSD derived systems binaries that should not be invoked by users directly (e.g., daemons) need to be stored in libexec.
Backward compatibility can be ensured with a couple of symlinks.

I've always had the same mindset, which I think most pre-2000 coders share, and is likely a side effect of needing to develop within limitations. For one of many examples, early video games wouldn't have been possible without meticulously bespoke code, because the hardware limitations required extremely inventive strategies for storing and displaying graphics, compressing text used for dialogue, generating sound, etc. This was just as true for the web, even into the broadband years due to the new limitations of smart phones and mobile networks. But now that the bandwidth is massively available, we've abandoned all of those optimizations.

Though, I think post-2000 it makes more sense to take the opposite approach to optimization. Let the generators do their work, and then edit the file to remove what you don't want. It takes a fraction of the time to cut a couple lines from a generated SVG than it does to create from scratch -- even one as simple as Derek's example.
Figure Out What You're Typing by Listening to Your Mechanical Keyboard
Keep in mind that taxes eat quite a bit of that (seemingly more so than in the US).
I see your points, but this:

"any house that is rented must be offered for ownership to the long term renter"

seems like a great way to make sure long term rentals stop existing.
Yes for sure I assume they keep their other licensing agreeements.
EA retains league and player likeness rights, which is the real value
you can use the WAVE extension that will check things for you automatically
I think having the team names and player names is what gets people to buy that particular game (assuming they all play well)
90k is the top level, and doesn't go far especially in London.
Another pattern to avoid "worthless" writes is using statistical sampling. I.e. if you have votes in the >100.000 range, generate a random number p in [0, 1], and only perform a write if p < 0.01 - when reading votes, multiply by 100 etc. Of course, you have to assess individually if its feasible for your operation, hence the "worthless".
You're not taxed, because the tax authorities rely on self-reporting. Trading one asset for another asset is ~always a taxable in most (all?) countries.
totally agree. Some perspective is needed here. EA is just a shit company with their gambling mechanics and more. FIFA is corrupt and straight up doesn't care about human rights - on Katar construction sites for example. They're playing in a different league.
Assuming your goal is to have a car, your budget should always be accounting for the time when you will need to buy a new car since cars do not last forever.

Same with land. If your goal is to purchase lands, then your budget needs account for increases in the prices of land (specifically the land you want). And healthcare. And education.

Also, my food purchases have definitely increased at least 10% nominally in the past couple years.
And that 'megaflash' lasted longer then a usual lightning bolt, I think (was definitely bigger too)
Low interest rates mean more of the payment builds equity, which you have a higher chance of getting back when you sell ("higher" as in "not zero," since you definitely don't get any interest payments back when you sell).

You can also borrow against that equity, but definitely not against the interest.

The amount you pay for the house might be the same whether it's the sticker price or the interest rate that was higher, but what that does for your overall wealth is different, and lower interest rates are better.
The minority of programs actually do the latter, and it’s not about the OS but about the fact that the program was designed to be reliant on the registry.
Fear and Loathing Return to Tech Startups
I think the point is that with conventional equations we can make increasingly better approximations by just using pen and paper, while with these ML methods, you need to train your system ab initio if you want to improve your approximations.
You don't answer for him but for those that read the chain of arguments.

It is a valid approach to naively ask for the obvious repercussions even if it isn't done honestly.
Brings back memories. I was a MS support engineer on CompuServe around 1989. I supported Windows/286 and 386, Excel, and Word for Windows. I posted around 25 to 30 messages a day. I had a partner named Bassam, if I recall correctly. It was just the two of us, and there was a period of time when it was only me.

Many times I wondered "if they only knew MS Windows support on CompuServe relies on one intern working out of a frat house (at the UW)." I used a US Robotics modem running at 300 or 1500 baud without error correction. I had to write my responses in notepad and paste it in due to line noise.

Helping so many people every day was very satisfying and I am still proud of that work.
The researchers drove a Toyota Camry two times directly over a diabolical ironclad beetle in a parking lot. “Yeah, it’s still alive, It’s playing dead. But it’s still alive.”

It really depends on your country. In the UK, the "NHS" everyone seems to love here is completely useless unless you're on the brink of death. Any non-critical care is impossible to get so you end up going private anyway, essentially paying twice.
As I said:
"As with the previous shutdown, they are not the reason for a fault in the electrical part, but mechanical. They relate to the quality of the body and chassis assembled in Turkey at the Škoda Temsa sister plant."

So no software BS you wanna believe from some cluless MSM sources and DPP propaganda. Truth in the end finds the way...

TUIs cannot have full use of modifier keys as the full set of modifiers is not sent to processes running in a terminal.

As for the OS task switcher, if everything is a TUI then you only have one app, which is your terminal, and so your OS task switcher cannot help you switch between apps anymore. You have to switch between windows belonging to the same process. It’s the same problem that you run into by doing everything inside a browser.
The Dropbox employee, @jazzy33ca, has set post visibility to followers only.

> Therefore, I choose to prioritize folks in our BIPOC and URM communities.

Americans have an obsession with race (more broadly, identity) that I think borders on unhealthy. As far as I can understand, at the most general level, the reason for the obsession is to address historical or current hardship due to factors outside one's control. This obsession is everywhere: in school admissions (high school and college especially), in social conversations, in framing unjust law enforcement practices, in employment, and so on.

What makes me uncomfortable is just how much appearance plays into assumptions about an individual, because even when it comes with good intentions, it just seems so... shallow. Why aren't there more questions related to the aspects of one's life to determine what kind of hardship/discrimination one has endured? Why must it solely focus which appearance/race/recognized group you don? Where are the questions to describe in detail unjust financial hardship, personal discrimination, or unfairly limited opportunities? Why claim a person adds diversity before you even know how adding such person (without making superficial assumptions) will add to diversity, equity, or inclusivity? For example, does this black candidate have major setbacks as a result of ancestral slavery that we should take into consideration for equity purposes, or is this black candidate a well-educated wealthy recent immigrant who grew up in a nation's upper class who currently doesn't feel discriminated against? There's no way to find out without the candidate voluntarily offering this information. Institutions love to use outward appearance as a proxy for what it purports to improve. And even if they didn't, given how badly managed and flooded recruitment currently is, I can't imagine that there is enough capacity for recruiters/computers to sufficiently handle the answers to such personal ambiguous questions.

In 2009, Chicago Public Schools in its high school Selective Enrollment plan moved toward awarding more points to people who live in low-income neighborhoods. While this is nowhere near perfect and is susceptible to gaming, surely this must be a better system than the one that asks for your race in a drop-down select or a list of tickboxes?

Lastly, without getting into too much detail, I know how easy it is to take advantage of these systems. Since no one can verify your cultural identity, and no one verifies your family/individual income, it's extremely trivial to put yourself at the front of a digital priority queue by claiming that you are such-and-such identity, and if necessary, with such-and-such socioeconomic hardship. You can also be mixed-race.

I'm fine with the game that Americans love, but can't we do something so that it isn't so easy to game, or base it off better and more varied heuristics?
So...the benefit of cryptos is tax evasion? How novel.
The obfuscated URL points to a meme image of a surprised person.
and this is why strong and intelligent regulation of many structurally monopolistic industries is essential. (and known in Europe)
The tax breaks in question are not specific to your goal post moving subset of tech startups. The founder tax breaks are offered because they bring the benefits I mentioned to the areas specified in the tax breaks.

Furthermore, you're replying to my comment that companies pay significant local taxes.

So yes, if you ignore all other benefits companies bring to the region, ignore the purpose and benefits of those breaks, ignore the comment you're replying to, and ignore that most companies using these tax breaks don't fit your claims, then yes, you can be correct for goalpost moving post selected cherry picking. Congrats.
Yes from a fellow Australian.
Hence the higher pay. If it was easier, there would be more supply of labor relative to demand, hence the prices for the labor would be lower.
In some sense, the nostalgic "factory worker buys house" thing is quite a short anomaly in (post-agriculture) human history.

I think there is something of a complacency that people have about inequality. They assume that because progress ratcheted forward in the 19th and 20th centuries, that we can never regress.

I think it's not true, and I think if we are not vigilant, our world will return to a neo-feudalism -- with the accompanying misery and lack of social and technological progress.

This should alarm all of us, even those who are lucky enough to have a handhold on the property ladder.
My wife and I are buying a house in Chicago in a few months. Is there anything we should be doing now to prepare for this impending "storm"?
Why should there be one?

It is like telling there should only exist one browser.
FIFA is not in the game anymore.
Also, even per their “audits,” a good deal of their assets are in crypto, which means it’s presently uncollateralised to the tune of tens of billions of dollars.
This is exactly what I understood, too. The structure in Linux was familiar to me from SVR4 which I used in a number of implementations, most often Data General’s DG/UX (which was a fantastic system for its time).

It’s probably true that the distinction isn’t really important any more. The things we used to have to worry about in the (g)olden days of Unix (/s) are ridiculous by todays standards. We had one of the first 2.5GB RAID arrays in the country and could run a whole medical laboratory - maybe 100 people running Wyse 60 terminals - on it. We had a dedicated 500MB drive for the OS and a couple of other drives just for database logfiles.

These days the whole OS now fits on a single SSD which takes up a tiny fraction of the device. Large SSDs have made so much complexity obsolete for most people. I believe that one could, quite literally, run that old lab software from a single Raspberry Pi.

The point being, stuff that made sense in that old environment does not necessarily make sense any more. It’s good to have the discussion though.
A library could fix most of thar.

Layered settings are nice, but nothing you can't do with files, and a well defined file structure(/etc/app/myapp, /etc/policy/myapp, .config/app/myapp, etc)

GUIs are great, but nothing you can't do with a settings.ini.uidefinition file(Or better yet, settings.d/uidefinition.json), and an editor.

The registry GUI is currently not really much better than a text file , modern settings GUIs are context sensitive wizards with live changes and all kinds of stuff.

More strong types could possibly improve that, if GUIs supported all of them, but you probably couldn't cover everything or fully compete with in-app settings.

Maybe with some kind of embedded HTML/JS form definition for every hive.

Linux does have dconf, which seems to solve most registry use cases.
Valid point.

But another reason for hiring to be restrictive is due to taxation reasons. Companies may have constraints.

Starting in September, you can live and work in over 170 countries for up to 90 days a year in each location... https://news.airbnb.com/airbnbs-design-to-live-and-work-anyw...
I think your assertion is spot on: One of the biggest issues of today is that people think they know everything. And they want to know everything because they learned not having an answer is bad in school.

At the same time they have an ever-present answer machine in their pockets. Just type a question and you will find the answer. That the question might already imply a certain answer is either ignored or willfully accepted.

I am not sure how we come (back?) to a culture where people who don't know anything about an issue stop pretending they do, but I think this is not unimportant these days.
Of course it is the fault of program, but as design registry is thought to be always there, self-evident, so it is partially the problem. It encourages to rely on it totally.
Lol, more silly ideas. anyone who wants a house can have one? How exactly is that going to work? Who will build these houses, exactly?

The government will pay for deposits? Why exactly should the government be subsidizing home ownership? Why not just allow more houses to be built? Government intervention is why we have issues to begin with.

Reminds me of posts advocating for rent control but lamenting how they can’t find an apartment, as if the two issues are not related.
Because crypto bros hate paying their taxes, and converting to USD tends to make the IRS interested in the sudden influx of money.

It's not obvious to what you're referring. Can you explain?
Sorry to all of you who clicked because of the unclear title. I didn't thought that through.
At this point, Putin has put Ukraine into a position where they have nothing to lose. There is a direct line from Stalin's atrocities, where millions of Ukrainians were starved to death and ethnic cleansing was employed, to Putin's atrocities today. There's no going back for Ukraine as long as there is any hope of defeating Putin.
Well not in France at least, and as far as I know this is the same in most EU countries. I do not really know for Asia and Africa though, but I only ever heard of US (and now of UK).

I will add that in some EU countries you are not taxed at all (assuming this is not your day job), even when converting to fiat ! Portugal, Belgium and Germany. Also Switzerland (not in EU)
You always had been required to carry a passport when traveling in the EU

Yes and no. A passport is a specific means of a legal identity document, and specifically a passport is not mandatory: you can also use a European Identity Card [1]. This serves as legal identification anywhere in the EU, but not outside. And inside your home country, a driver's license also suffices as legal identity document (for certain uses: in NL, you can use it to identify yourself to the police or when collecting packages at the post office, but you can't use it to open a new back account).

> Cost of living must be insanely high in the U.S. For me, these numbers are so high - I can't imagen what someone would do with all this money.

First is secure yourself with fuck you money so you do not need to sell your labor to procure the things you want, especially shelter (land), food, water, energy, healthcare, and education.

Second is play the game against other high earners. Get involved in other businesses or politics, etc.
It happens in practice in India and other poor countries where any long term renter can claim their rights on the property.

Court resolution will take decades to come at a decision.

It is why nobody makes rental agreements longer than 11 months even if you live beyond 11 months. They will keep renewing that.

They also do this to avoid government rent control and protection policies.
Point being you can usefully have two or more of the same type of thing, even if their only difference is the quality of the team building them. That's why the market sustains more than one car of each type.
Couldn't agree more! It's clearly not obvious enough, but you can filter jobs by time zone or visa requirements if you head to https://himalayas.app/jobs - sounds like we'll need to add something similar to the /companies search eventually :)
I think what Konami did with PES was really smart: they created fictional clubs and leagues with hints about what they should be in real life and let everything be customizable. As expected, gamers already have shared databases with updated info about current leagues and clubs, saving Konami from paying any licence at all AFAIK
An ever-popular opinion. And the usual counterargument:

If it costs $100k to build a house, these measures all but ensure that anyone who can't save up $100k will be homeless, because there is no reason for people with savings to build up a surplus of housing beyond their own needs.

Note that wealthy people, due to their disproportionate wealth, control how resources are allocated. If there are harsh punishments for allocating resources to housing, then there will be (substantially!) fewer houses.

Although in Australia the situation is beyond a joke. It is already ugly. If the government doesn't stop putting in artificial measures to prop up housing prices it'll keep getting more unpleasant until something breaks down into violence.

I've settled in the last few years on using JUCE for all my apps. It has everything I need, and provides more than ample features for adding new GUI elements. I strongly encourage anyone looking for a cross-platform GUI solution to consider JUCE very carefully - it says "for Audio plugins" on the box, but in fact it is perfectly cromulant way of doing 'normal apps' too ..

A white person saying they need less white people in their life is odd.

My friend group is approximately 50/50 white non white. I didn't do that on purpose. I fell in love with an Asian woman and married her. The friends I picked up just happened to be a spread of ethnicities.

One thing that I've learned is that it's much easier to get along with people from different cultures when you treat them as an individual and their ethnicity as just one of the parts that make them who they are. It's silly to treat that as the defining feature of a person.

I think people conflate things worth observing and fixing at the population level and things the shape your interpersonal interactions. Yes it's good to work on equal outcomes for people of all races but of that becomes a dominant driver in behavior things get weird.
UST actually burns/mints LUNA to try and keep the balance in check. Everything to run the currency is within the same system.

DAI requires 150% collateral in a currency completely outside the system that it can't burn or mint.

It is a big difference.

edit: UST is going to be collateralized in the future if it survives this https://twitter.com/stablekwon/status/1524331190995484672
Protip (if youre a smaller shop): Hire developers because they are good programmers. Programming languages are easier than you think to learn. If they already know Python, Ruby is not that different. Most C-like languages are easy to pick up if you already know one of them. Train them on Ruby once hired :)
So there is a decent chance that they havent even been buying the dip!

If it’s your money, spend it as you wish.
Morally speaking society should only make sure that you didn’t earn money through harmful activities (e.g mafia dons), but it shouldn’t regulate regular spending on luxury goods.
