> People will play poker differently when they are playing for large amounts of money than when they are playing for small amounts of money: they are a lot more conservative when a lot of cash is on the line

This is false. If your playing style changes with stakes, you shouldn’t be playing poker. And you want to play at a table where people do that, because it’s exploitable.

The only bet sizing that matters in cash games is relative to the big blind. Your playstyle shouldn’t change if the big blind is $1 or $1000.

Game theory doesn’t care about the absolute size of the bets, and you should always aim to play game theory optimal game. If game theory says the most optimal play is to make a 35 big blind bluff, you make the 35 big blind bluff whether it’s $35 or $35000 (unless you know something about the particular opponent). And if you can’t afford to lose the money when the stakes are higher, you shouldn’t be at that table.

That was never going to happen. If you listen to the interviews from Brian Action, he wanted WhatsApp to stay minimal. He didn't like those other apps that had tons of features/ bloat.

You can "Build" a car from a kit, and nobody would take issue. I do plenty of soldering, I've cut case plates by hand, and spent far too many hours on this. Building anything is merely assembling it, the only difference is component count. I guess nobody "builds" PCs, either.
> But the debugger is programmable itself, and uses Python natively as a scripting language.

like lldb? https://lldb.llvm.org/use/python.html

"""LLDB has been structured from the beginning to be scriptable in two ways – a Unix Python session can initiate/run a debug session non-interactively using LLDB; and within the LLDB debugger tool, Python scripts can be used to help with many tasks, including inspecting program data, iterating over containers and determining if a breakpoint should stop execution or continue."""

> Extend your favorite C++ compiler with a flag that generates python bindings for all data variable symbols.

The linked-to lldb documentation has a section on "Accessing & Manipulating Program Variables". I'm pretty sure it can all be built though the existing clang debug info.

Sounds pretty neat to access and visualize the inner workings of a C/C++ program as a program which works like an attached debugger.

Same here, 39 being in the industry for 14 years. I think this feeling come from the fact that everything around us moving so fast. Old days you can set for months only using Turbo pascal IDE manual without the needs for internet at all. Now literally every few days new technology popups and we are trying to be up to date and we got overwhelmed.I remembered I was trying to learn the new Javascript era and it's zillion frameworks but I couldn't. I think it's better to focus on only one thing and find a side hobby away from the technology.
It's a shame that Bridge's popularity is waning because it is a very interesting and skilful game. It suffers from having a relatively high barrier to entry. A lot of comments here are from people who clearly have never played the game.

In bidding there are 48 calls you can make (1-7 of each suit plus notrumps, X ie double, XX ie redouble and pass). The bids (1-7 of each suit and no trump) are ordered meaning once someone bids 2D you have to bid 2H or higher so you've lost the 1 bids and 2C). The two teams are interleaved and are trying to convey information to your partner but your opponents have access to that information too.

It's kind of amazing how much information you can convey within this simple system. It's not even just about what bids were made but what bids weren't made. Bidding is a deep, deep topic.

Additionally you can lie to your partner (within limits) and in competition play there are rules around what you can and can't do. This can confuse your opponents but will also confuse your partner (if it doesn't it's often ruled as "illegal information").

After all this and the opening lead the dummy hand is placed on the table. Every player can see it. The defending team has the auction to inform the defense. So it's not just a simple trick-taking game. The auction and the play are inextricably intertwined.

The defenders can convey information to each other through which cards they play. The declarer can see this too but has less context on the meaning.

In both the auction and the play Bayesian reasoning comes into play. What didn't happen? How does that affect the probability space?

Building partnerships takes time although experienced players can sit down with a new player, agree on some fairly standard conventions (eg 2/1, upside down carding) and be at a reasonable point.

But the high barrier to entry, fixed numbers of players and the reliance on partnerships make it a tough game to play casually.

Never heard of 'em. Is it like a pasty?
thats makes alot of sense. if we look at behance yes. but no this is not my site. im just curious what would make it just work and have people populate i everyday.
Possibly old fashioned view here but I think of it in two ways.

Firstly if it's "transactional" it fits more often into the label of "application". If it is there mainly for consumption of media, it's more "Web site".

Secondly, I think it's useful to think about what it'd feel like as a desktop app. Stuff like say Google Sheets would feel perfectly normal running on your desktop. It's super snappy, all on-page. Something like the BBC or HN, not so much.
> crux of Bitcoins is that its value is derived from people's belief in its value

brave, but .. fail. The crux of BTC is that it is secure to attacks while moving assets that are represented digitally. In order to succeed in that, the integrity of the chain is required. Popularism is a "nice to have."
The Times is the newspaper whose headline Satoshi referenced in his genesis block: "Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks". So I would have thought even though all newspapers do a terrible job of reporting on Bitcoin, they might be a little more inclined to do it well.

And yet here they are uncritically repeating the claims of known plagiarist and con artist Craig Wright.
With a small tortilla you can eschew structural purity and leave the top of the burrito open. In such cases if the bottom flap can fold up 1/3rd the way from the bottom on the ingredients you're probably good. Then wrap the sides in tightly and plate with the solid "back" of the burrito down. It'll last long enough to serve without the contents spilling. If wrapped well enough you can still eat it with one hand.

In addition, most bridge is boring as hell.

You study all these cool bidding problems. You work out how to drop the offside 10 when held against. Then, you sit down at a table with other people ...

And get a single semi-interesting hand the entire night.

Mostly everything is perfectly obvious bidding and perfectly obvious play. "Trick, Trick, claim" -- "Trick, Trick, Trick, Trick, claim" -- etc.

However, to be fair, "boring" is probably a good thing if bridge is regarded as a social activity. I find that I really can't be "social" playing chess. The "a single mistake can sink you" aspect of chess makes it too mentally demanding.
It is common to read about them in the news, not as common to have one happen to you. In countries with a lot of corruption, police stealing from you is something you plan for day-to-day, not an abstract civil rights concern that you have to deal with to stay away from the former situation.

Honestly, do you want a BigCo job? Would it make you happy? The experience of being a tiny cog in an unthinkingly vast machine is more alienating than you might think, even if you like the money.

I think lots of those who stay on long-term in that environment, say >3-4 years, effectively become institutionalised, condemned to spend the rest of their life philosophising about whether they can ever be L8 material. These are people who are, by and large, smart but not wise. Yes, the money is good, for an employee, but it barely equals what even a small business owner could make - and these are people whose smarts would allow them to thrive in the software niche, at least with a minimal amount of commercial nous.

The truth is that FAANG (or FAAG, considering what's going on at Netflix?) keeps these people there by creating a value system. If you've ever read the internet-classic 'Five Geek Social Fallacies' post (https://plausiblydeniable.com/five-geek-social-fallacies/), you'll know that people like us - frankly - are suckers for taxonomy. If you tell them that they are the best because they work for you, and the only thing that can make them any better as an engineer is creating maximum returns for the Borg, and surround them with others who mirror and validate that behaviour, they will fall for it for the rest of their lives.

Don't fall for it. There are a fuck ton of smart people at FAANG companies – that's one of the few marketing points which is unvitiated in its merit, they do scoop up very many of the smartest (again, smart-not-wise) people in the world – but that doesn't mean the only way to be smart is to join. It doesn't mean you - as a unique human being - will be happy there. Carve your own path, be suspicious of people selling you axiologies and hierarchies, find a middle road between excessive cynicism and excessive credulity.

I am just flabbergasted that anyone would think of this process to change a battery as "ok". I mean batteries have a pretty short life time. And iPhones are really expensive. A LOT of resources are used to build an iPhone. And then this process for changing the battery.

The product, the battery changing process, the whole company, everything feels like it is the 1980s, it feels like a tech dinosaur.

If this is the way that most people think that things should work in 2022, than we are all doomed.

Teach your Kids Many Different Games, Not Just One.

Chat bots are definitely still a big thing, but the value proposition has completely flipped.

Zuckerberg (and others) were pushing an experience for the user, where they'd be delighted by interacting with a humanlike support bot that could interpret their human request. The value would come from additional user engagement with the platform, and therefore ad revenue.

In reality, chat bots are a cost optimization technique for businesses, where they save money by paying support bot services in exchange for reduced support staff. Still making money for someone, but they're nearly universally a worse experience for the end user, and certainly not a reason why users would engage with the FB platform.
Sorry I posted the wrong issue, it’s actually a duplicate of https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX/issues/3168 which was filed last August. I guess it’s not that long, but it was annoying for my use of KaTeX on https://mitchellkember.com/notes4u where I see it frequently. For example it affects \left\lvert\vec{b}\right\rvert which is a pretty simple piece of TeX I’d expect to render fine.
The web site is as good as I expected it should be when made by people with room temperature IQ.
This is an actual good question which I'd offer a few answers for, and I'm sure there's other partial explanations as well.

1) In an ideal world, the tactic tanks the price enough that investors don't support the company, they have trouble raising capital, and go out of business and the borrowed share (I believe) either never has to be repaid or is trivial to recover.

2) When you're dealing with really big money and want to enter or exit a position without affecting the price too much, you don't just go to your stock broker and enter a buy or sell order for however many shares you're dealing with. You use experienced people and automated algorithms to time the deals to have as minimum an impact on the price as possible and enter/exit smartly.

3) Dark pools exist for making orders that don't impact the public price. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dark-pool.asp
I worry that it's an inevitable outcome of capitalization akin to what I think we've seen in physical goods:

Stage 1: make crappy products because you don't know better

Stage 2: make quality products because now you can

Stage 3: realize that you can make more money by making your product cheaper. Outsource the labor, turn the metal into plastic. People won't even mind if it breaks if they can just get another one. In fact, why not design it to eventually break so you can sell even more?

Stage 4: realize you can make even more money by turning your product into a service with app integration

And it's difficult to go back to a previous Stage because you'll always lose, like trying to un-invent gunpowder weapons. From the perspective of a consumer who cares and wants Stage 2 products, the system's decayed to maximum entropy; the forest is gone; all the trees have been chopped down; the soil's depleted. :C

> I always figured the compromise solution was a (likely state-mediated) mandatory licensing board.

The majority of your argument seems to be based on the premise that you do not have rights over your own work. That the perceived public benefit has priority over your will over your own work. The day that the state ceases to enforce copyright based on that premise is the day that many types of software businesses will cease to exist. The incentives just won’t be there to create software that thrives under business models that require enforcement of copyright.

Microsoft, as the owner of Windows XP has the right to do with it as they see fit. It’s not anyone else’s concern whether they are not making the best use of Windows XP. Especially not a mandatory governmental board. It’s their property, it’s their choice.

Of course, but Ubuntu and Debian ship different versions of system libraries so one experience doesn't transfer to the other as well as you might otherwise expect.

I just want to point out this gem from their agreement that covers the use of purchased—not rented—tools. Purchased. You paid the full price, you own the tools, and you agree not to use them on anything other than an Apple product. You’re the proud new owner of $300 in expensive screwdrivers that you can’t use.

From https://www.selfservicerepair.com/terms-of-use:

> You agree to use the Self Service Repair Products to repair the Repaired Apple Product in a manner consistent with these terms and conditions. Self Service Repair Products are for use in the repair for which they were purchased, and may not be resold or otherwise transferred.

Ah, but maybe they only mean the replacement parts, right? Surely they wouldn’t have such a requirement if you pay $100 for a generic Wera screwdriver.

But no, it includes the tools:

> Self Service Repair Parts” and “Self Service Repair Tools” are collectively referred to as “Self Service Repair Products.”

Is that even legally enforceable? I suspect it’s not. If I buy a generic screwdriver, it’s mine. It doesn’t have DRM, and I will do with it as I please. If I want to use it to repair an Android phone, I will. If I want to sell it on eBay or lend it to my neighbor, who’s going to stop me?

Hot take: Phoenix does almost everything Rails does but better. Ruby is still superior for scripting, but OTP gives you so much flexibility for integrating your backend (supervision is built in, process abstraction is built in, rpc is built in, microservice architecture is built in). The only other thing I don’t care for with Phoenix is the amount of metaprogramming which I think is even worse than Rails

there was a guy in southern oregon 10 or 12 years ago that had a bronco or similar he claimed ran on water. The propane tank on the front seemed suspicious, so i asked, and he said that he first had to convert the gasoline engine to run on propane, and showed me the modifications needed to the spark plugs for that. Then he had an hydrolysis controller mounted in the footwell of the passenger seat up front.

None of what he showed me made sense, so i wrote it off. I know hydrogen power is a thing, i just know that you can't generate enough power with hydrogen to crack water into hydrogen at the rate needed to sustain that, so having all that crap in the vehicle - assuming it worked at all - seemed dangerous, at the very minimum.

Now, i'm sure if you had solar panels - at home[ed.] - and a safe way to compress the hydrogen into small tanks somewhere on the vehicle, you could get a few dozen miles probably fairly safely. And i'm not sure if anyone has patented this yet, but resin/epoxy/plasticize/rubberize the exterior of a carbon fiber tank to store the hydrogen eliminates most of the safety issues, i think.
For sure, I was one of them. I’m pretty sure we’re in the minority though, based on following life experience. 1%? Less?

I'd say there's is not a clear definition, but I think: low interaction intensity / no personalized experience = website, high interaction intensity / personalized experience = application.

Wikipedia and blogs are mostly for consuming content and it's the same content for everyone. Clearly a website. Instagram usually isn't super interactive, but it's extremely personalized, so it's much more like an app. Gmail also clearly a web app.
