How do I use this to make Dune-style stillsuits? Maybe the gel is attached to a flagpole on your back (large surface area with airflow is what I'm thinking here), like medieval samurai, and your body's movement generates the heat that activates the thermo-responsive cellulose? The water needs to then collect in a built-in hydration bladder (aka Camelbak).

with a 12gb amd card and a 4ghz processor I can run the game at a pretty stable 2k/60fps with occasional dips to 50. It is a lot better than how it was at release.

> I pay a barber to cut my hair.

Meaningless analogy. Here some other meaningless analogies:

Why would anyone ever own a frying pan? Not only do you need to rent a stove, you also need to hire a chef to cook with frying pan, you need a station with chefs that prep ingredients and so on. Just go to a restaurant.

You pay a mechanic to fix your car? Why would anyone ever own a car when you can rent a car whenever you need one.

You pay a barber to cut your hair? Why not just wear a wig!

And so on ...
The other packages I've missed are all Rust or C packages that manage to create absurdly compact or performant versions of low level structures and blocks like tries, probabilistic filters, encryption primitives, or custom binary storage solutions.

All things that Java, Go, C# and others just can't be the best at because of the overhead or GC.
I also had issues with it, not so much for the fixed camera FOV, but because the weird momentum/camera mechanics (it always felt like it was pulling and shifting in non-linear ways I couldn't control) made me feel motion sick within a half hour of getting in game. Googling at that time, it seemed like a common enough issue that people had hacks or add-ons or workarounds to address it, but I ended up just returning it for a refund as I had less than the steam hours limit.

The JVM has already been quite impressive for the last two decades for backend computing workloads.

First of all, there are plenty of implementations to chose from, everyone is now talking about GraalVM, because the basic version is free beer, yet AOT has been a thing in commercial Java compilers for quite some time.

Nowadays OpenJDK and OpenJ9 offer JIT caches with PGO feedback across executions, well, OpenJDK one started in J/Rockit, and OpenJ9 traces back to Metrome/Websphere Real Time/J9.

My first large scale Java project was done in 2005, when our team at Nokia Networks started the transition of a C++ infrastruture used for base stations reporting into Java.

Did Java win against C++ in microbenchmarks back in 2006, not at all, yet Java 5 JIT compiler in IBM J9 and Sun's JVM already provided enough performance juice that we could perform such endevour, while keeping the system responsive.

Eventually some other issues plagued the project, however they were related with politics between the C++/CORBA folks and us bringing up the new platform.
Hmm, I feel like that’s been the case for more than a couple of years. Java has been fast for well over 10 years, I’d say.

But I think Java also still has the problem that it tends to use a ton of memory (unless you use it the fintech way, manually wrangling your data in arrays rather than using lots of objects).

My subjective impression is that garbage collected languages have gone through a bit of a rise and fall over time -- “GC is bad because it’s slow!” “huh, GC is fast now” “Java is the way forward!” “GC uses a lot of memory” “Rust [or Swift] is the way forward!”
Python has problems scaling to medium-size code bases because programs above a certain size tend to become difficult to reason about. This is not a performance issue, and it’s the #1 issue that I choose to rewrite Python programs in other languages. Python type annotations help.

IMO modern languages like Go and Java are pretty easy to get into and you can use them for a first implementation without really sacrificing development time relative to Python, as long as you have invested the time to learn those languages and the associated tools. (C++ is not like that unless you have made a very serious investment in setting it all up.)

I’m not trying to say that any of these languages are better/worse, just that they are differently suited for particular situations (program size, team experience, etc)
I use salt for configuration management of the machine itself (system-wide settings, packages), a dotfiles git repo for desktop configuration files with submodules for certain things (like package managers for vim and zsh).

For development environments, JetBrains IDEs have their own cloud config sync thing and I try to stick to defaults as much as possible (and rely on the language environment's tooling for linting/formatting/etc rather than the one in the IDE).

> Copying this to a new tape or adapting it for use on a disk-based system is straightforward. The easiest way to make a copy is to simply copy both stages to a new tape, without modifying either.

At first I thought: So where is the copy protection? It will just prevent people who don't have double deck cassette player from copying it? You can easily write a routine to read the tape, buffer it to memory and play it back anyways."

The point is: copying with a double deck system will degrade the audio so that it won't work after a few generations and writing a low level routine to buffer the tape and then play it back will make copying it only feasible to dedicated hackers.

Clever.
I use chezmoi (http://chezmoi.io) after years of rolling my own. It’s not as straightforward as some home managers, but the extra power it provides is _amazing_ and worth the learning curve.

I pull some information from the local keychain and others from 1Password (with `op`; I will be moving most of the rest to 1Password from the keychain). It can run additional scripts _after_ each update (I use it to update my fish plug-in installations if I change `fish_plugins`).

It has integrations with many different password managers so that it is possible truly keep your secrets out of your dotfile configuration and _still_ vary the configuration based on those secrets.
Sure, the networking thing is a part time job for all of us, and there's even been some talk of bringing in professional services to look over it a bit. But my question is, what would we get? The whole IDS/IPS/WAF industry seems pretty much dripping in snakeoil. It seems like Cisco was once the king, but has lost a lot of respect. Palo Alto seems to be the current fashion but unless you have a serious alcohol problem, it's going to exceed your beer budget. I worked with Imperva and Alert Logic back in the day and no one ever seemed too impressed with them. Then there's SonicWall which seems reviled and Fortigate which seems like the reasonable budget option. I'm sure there's tons others I'm not even aware of.
I take a similar approach. Python allows me to rapidly prototype and ... gets the job done — fast (in terms of developer productivity). Once performance becomes a main criteria, it's not so difficult to fork/exec some Go/Rust/C/C++ executable.
It's kinda baffling that JWTs are unencrypted by default, to be fair.
At what point should I push for a code audit?

I don't think any of the codebases I worked on ever had a "real" audit. Best case was reviews pre/post acquisitions. An external audit seems like a good thing, but I have no idea how to argue for such a thing.
Probably an insignificant detail when considering the entire portfolio of subsidiaries and services under VMWare, but I guess there are some pretty notable projects included in this acquisition.

Ok so it's a sponge soaked in konjac and then dried? Damn, that is simple. Could easily make this yourself. I don't even see how this is patentable...

> renewable cellulose and a common kitchen ingredient, konjac gum, as a main hydrophilic (attracted to water) skeleton

(artificial sponges are made of cellulose - I learned this just last year when washing my dishes and thinking... wtf is this made of?)

Seems then you can:

0. Go to the dollar store

1. Buy a thin sponge

2. Buy konjac gum

3. Buy a tray

4. Place the thin sponge in the tray, mix the konjac gum with water, and pour it into the tray, and place it into your freezer, waiting for the water to evaporate...?

5. Place it now somewhere in a humid place to pull the water out of the air

Unprecedented, all of it.
Honestly, within a single moderately sized codebase for your average boring CRUD app, i'm not sure why you should have interfaces for everything.

99% of those will never be as popular as Kubernetes, Graylog or Ghost. And it's not like introducing those interfaces wouldn't be connected to lots and lots of work: like in the case of Ghost, you cannot be a part of the crowd that suggests that ORMs are bad most of the time and then also suggest that interfaces are good and you also should abstract away the database in some other (possibly infeasible) way.

It's not like you cannot do that, but you absolutely cannot do that in a reasonable amount of time. When your boss is asking you to ship features by the next tuesday, you don't even have the liberty of thinking about what is generalizable and what ever will be - you just write the implementation directly and get it done.

And if you ever actually need an interface? Just extract one with your IDE. Is it all too polluted with implementation details to do that, because of the aforementioned time/resource limitations? Then simply rewrite it anew, throwing all of the gunk out. You cannot rewrite it because of its size and coupling to the rest of the system, you say? Then you don't actually need the interface - don't poke the codebase with too much refactoring, lest it fail.

The point i'm making is that while most projects out there will never have the need or resources for having interfaces for everything, even the larger projects that could have them (like the example about Kubernetes), might be so complicated that introducing them might result in a lot of breakage despite your best efforts and would reflect badly upon the entire project.

It's really a shame that org-mode is constrained to Emacs (and the problems that come with that), because it really does already do most everything you mentioned here. It scratched so many itches for me - I just wasn't able to overcome (with the time I was willing to invest) various issues with performance and reliability.

Always happy to see more attempts at solving this problem.
but thats just it, this argument only ever works if you dont care about performance or features and believe the marketing. You make eggs, and your target fixation only allows you to see eggs, so these companies hold some mysterious value to you.

KVM performance is orders of magnitude better than VMWare and handles migrations snapshots imports and exports without additional byzantine license agreements or mandatory minimums for hardware support on network switches and servers. Cockpit makes it dead simple to run.

Oracle performance is so awful the license terms do not allow you to release performance benchmarks or comparative analysis against other databases. it also has all the same heavy lifting you need to focus on for things like galera clusters or postgres, so theres no clear win unless you like paying Larry for the privilege of slow transactionals on a hyperconverged iron beast, or youre too lazy to figure out ODBC.

And Symantec so openly hates their customers they now bundle a cryptominer with their software. before that their incompetence was so blinding Google had to step in and force them to give up their CA business.

"enterprise" software is an absurd proposition for anyone smart enough to realize their business is more than just the end product. to everyone else, these companies are borderline predatory.
A benevolent dictator for life is clearly a very beneficial thing for open source projects.
doesn't seem like Rust is a silver bullet for preventing crypto hacks
My hot take on the issue: Don't regulate the guns per-se; regulate the bullets. An adult (only adults should be shopping for ammunition?) must take end-to-end responsibility and ownership of each bullet the purchase, and subsequently fire. You own the bullet from the time you take it home to the store to the time it comes to rest after firing out of a gun.

The guns, other than as a mechanism for firing bullets, are not particularly harmful; certainly not more harmful than a baseball bat or a car. It's really the bullets coming out of the gun(s) we as a society are worried about.

If your bullet (out of your gun, or any other even) harms property, you as the bullet/gun owner have financial responsibility of that damage. Your bullet harms a person, intentionally or not, you are responsible. Doesn't matter if your kid took it to school, or someone stole your gun & bullets; you are responsible. Many these firearm "accidents" and negligent discharges, kids getting into the guns, etc would go away if the customer at the gun store was made very aware of exactly what liability they were taking on, complete with stories and anecdotes about how irresponsible gun owners have been (financially, or otherwise) ruined by their carelessness.

If we held gun owners to the responsibility they are supposedly taking on simplicity when choosing to own a firearm, this conversation would be much easier. Why are we not crucifying the parent(s) of this most recent shooter, who were the owner(s) of the gun and bullets used in the school in Texas?
I'm playing it on a base PS4. It's still fine. Even locked at 30 FPS, it basically looks like Dark Souls 3 but with a world the size of BOTW.
For all his agreeableness, maybe Larry Wall left behind a chaos of unsolved semantics. Perhaps discussions they never really recovered from. I do not know the story, and this is speculative only.
right, that’s basically my point: i think we can draw a distinction between a coercive control here (i.e. forcing someone to do something they otherwise wouldn’t want to do), and an incentive/root issue correction (i.e. encouragement/elimination of need).

to suggest that both approaches are basically same because the end result is the same, would be like saying all discussion is manipulation.

put bluntly, if people commit crime we could end all crime by killing all people. clearly this is worse than any suggestion thus far :)
On first startup we used Tcl, and C code for performance, similar to what is fashionable with Python nowadays.

I had enough of the rewrite in C experience that since then, if the language doesn't come with a compiler on the box, either JIT or AOT, I only see it as scripting language for sysadmin work or learning purposes.
I know people who've done video projects where they take 2-3 second clips over the course of a year and create a summary video at the end. They can be very cool.
I've whiteboarded some very similar ideas to this! If multiple people are coming to similar conclusions, there might be something here.

In my thoughts, my hesitation is that I think I might have a bias for unit management, which is a new "thing" typical MMO players would need to start doing and optimizing in order to keep up.

So I wasnt convinced it would stick.

I think the new V Rising game has a well thought out and related mechanic along these lines in that you still have 1 character, but you can get "servants" which you send out on missions to collect / farm materials from areas you've surpassed
You don’t see a difference between jailing people who commit crimes versus forcible quarantine of people because they caught a highly communicable disease?

Or why forcible internment in camps for a disease might remind people of other atrocities in history?
For me, this is a role that MUDs used to fill. Text-based online games with player driven governments, economies, and theologies. You, as a person, could work your way up a ladder to be a renown combatant, or diplomat, or merchant; but, none of that had any value if not for the other people playing the game. You got dropped off in a virtual world and truly had agency to play a role.

Ultimately as I got older they became too much of a time sink and I just can’t play them anymore, but back in my high school days they were an absolute blast.
