This article explains what every figures out when making their own engine (and basing it off guessing what other games do and reading 2 blogposts instead of diving into philosophical rabbit holes). It also misses that most games are made with frameworks/libs now that give the dev no control over what things require round trips to the server (I assume this is the explanation for that; Fortnite took 2 years to fix weapon switch lag and LoL still has round trip bugs).

What immediately happens in practice with interpolation, is that every second player has a bad network connection and so you get unevenly spaced movement packets from him, and he just warps from here to there (via teleport, or smooth movement, neither of which look good or are possible in single player mode), among other problems. Interpolation also adds latency which is already a constrained area. Your game should already be designed to handle a constant rate of in and outbound packets and is broken if it sends them on demand instead of packing them into this stream of evenly paced constant rate packets. If you can't send packets for a few frames you should be punished until you switch ISPs, as opposed to you getting advantage because you teleport somewhere on the other clients's screens. The idea of "right away" is a misconception here. Since you get packets at a constant rate (which should be high enough to be displayed directly on screen), interpolation is not necessary. 60 tick is literally nothing, for a game with less than 100 players and little to no moving objects. Of course, most gamedevs are not concerned with this stuff as the framerate drops to 10 in most games if 1-6 players are on screen depending on how shit their game is. Also, client side damage is a mistake.
You're conflating game logic with engine logic here - whatever hijinks the engine pulls to make things seem seamless (prediction / replay etc.) is (or at least SHOULD be) orthogonal to the game logic. In game logic terms all games are turn based because there are no infinitely fast computers. The turns just happen at your game's tick rate which might be pretty quick.
Yes, you could still win 2/3 of the time by switching in all games, only that with those rules the probability for each remaining door once a goat is revealed would be 1/2, as you stated. So, you could also win 2/3 of the time by staying with your selection everytime a goat is shown and only switching to the car when it is shown.

But what I think that confuses most people is why one option has more probabilities than the other when there are two remaining doors and the car must be behind one of them, which does not occur with those conditions. It is needed that the host did it deliberately avoiding to reveal the car.
There wasn't any elongate harrasment.
If someone copied and pasted from somewhere for no reason, not sure a copied and pasted comment is going to help.
This, plus hitch hiking - not just A->B but a longer trip, spanning weeks or months. I took a gap year in 2012 and visited 17 countries on a ~€5/d budget. It was a life-changing experience.
Those old XUL/XPCOM extensions weren't really safe, and the only big loss was UI manipulation, which was kind of stupid anyway, and not at all portable.

When I say customizability I mean user.js.
A great talk about this is about halo reach'es networking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h47zZrqjgLc

I haven't seen it in a few years (re-watching it now), but IIRC they talk about how they do forecasting of things like shielding, grenade throws but need to reconciliate state after.
Question: how good is Edge privacy wise? Microsoft doesn’t make their big money selling advertising targeting services, right? I noticed that Edge is even available on iOS.
why would anyone want to have IPSec in 2022 ? It means remaining stuck with a mid-90ies committee-driven-crypto protocol (and the design is far from best practice in modern security).

I really like the design principles[1] of Wireguard. It does away with all the key-negotiation nonsense and eliminates a whole cluster of potential flaws right out of the gate. Also Jason Donenfeld's software development cycle is a skill level that can only be described as a 10000x-developer.

Unbelievable. Parent poster said "least vaccines; best outcomes", the data literally disagrees with that analysis.

Then you are like, "well, I don't like that data, so I'm going to ignore Occam's Razer."

My dude, that's not "just" a list of states ordered by obesity. It's a list of states ordered by how much they masked and vaccinated.

You are attempting to ignore the most obvious correlation (masks and vaccines impact viral transmission rates).
In those days the channels of discovery were so few and privileged that a common man couldn't even imagine something like publishing. You didn't have social networks with huge number of followers. You didn't have blogs or dedicated platforms where you could go and broadcast your discoveries. Whatever there was required genuine struggle for years and years.

This changed the important & value of time. Nowadays, we are running after things and very few here could say they worked over a thing for years and years. For us things are fleeting, our attention spans are ridiculous, and we don't have patience.

Moreover, getting fame and recognition is relatively easier in today's world that we can't even imagine doing something just for the sake of doing something because it is so easy to be materialistic about everything, and measure it on the money-made-fame-earned scale.

Even when we are working on that secret project, in our minds we can't help but think about it's materialistic value. I wonder how many of us will leave this world with truly groundbreaking projects behind...
I switched to Chrome a while back after years on Firefox because of Firefox's terrible spell checking.

It is quite puzzling because Firefox uses the same open source spell checker that Chrome uses and that is also used by LibreOffice and is the OS provided spell checker on Mac.

Here are some examples of words that it botched that nearly everything else (Chrome, Edge, Safari, LibreOffice, anything on Apple that uses the OS provided spell check) got right:

1. all-nighter auditable automata blacksmithing bubonic cantina commenter conferenced epicycle ethicist fineable initializer lifecycle micropayments mosquitos pre-programmed preprogrammed prosecutable responder solvability spectrogram splitter subparagraphs subtractive surveil tradable transactional tunable verifiability verifier

2. ballistically chewable counterintuitive exonerations mistyped "per se" phosphine programmability recertification shapeshifting tradeoffs webmail

3. manticore survivorship misclassified ferrite massless rotator dominator untraceably synchronizer

4. "ad hominem" algorithmically another's backlight ballistically coaxially hatchling impaction implementer inductor intercellular irrevocability licensor measurer meerkats mischaracterization misclassification misclassified partygoers passthrough plough retransmission seatbelt sensationalistic trichotomy underspecified untyped

All of those were reported to their bug tracker item for spell check errors. They do eventually fix those, but the lag was in the one to two year range. As of now they have fixed all of #1 except for initializer, all of #2, none of #3, and none of #4 except for algorithmically, ballistically, implementer, and inductor.
Good for all of us maybe some good alternatives to colab will be created cause of that.
So... just to clarify: the point was that you were the one applying bad science here. You're confusing energy (the conserved quantity) with work (energy transfer used to do "something" useful).

You don't measure cars in "energy transfer", you measure them in work: the rated brake horsepower of an engine isn't the number of joules of chemical potential energy that it consumes, it's the amount of energy transfer it can effect by turning its shaft. If you did, the numbers would be much higher and more efficient vehicles would oddly look "less powerful". No one does that.

So why do it here? That's not a useful number, and I suspect you know that.
> I think the more interesting question about reparation is whether there is truly a “continuity” (of the institution, state, or country on the one hand, and of a family unit on the other). If there is, then obviously the institution owes everything needed to make you whole. If there isn’t, then they owe you the same as any other citizen.

Can you explain this? What is continuity in this sense, and why is it obvious that they owe everything needed to make everyone whole?
Cmon now, under neoliberalism it is always the "poors" that are the problem...
I keep using JavaScript on the back-end because my projects all need rich front-ends and switching between + keeping my skills fresh in two separate languages is an awful lot of friction.

I anticipate that the WASM ecosystem will mature enough that non-JS front-ends will become standard fare, and then I'll be delighted to pick a back-end language where stack traces actually include lines for code I wrote.
> You can then put all the internet-of-things jazz into THAT BOX and not in each light.

How do you propose to do this in a lamp or a can light with a standard light socket? Should I rip open my ceiling and add control wires to every can that's in there?

These bulbs don't have the smarts in them just because nobody thought of doing otherwise. The world is mostly made of legacy infrastructure. Hue will sell you lamps that don't use E26 bulbs, but you're not going to be changing the lights out later if you want to use something else.

Azure has some pretty strict internal requirements around resource creation that make this possible. Every service must provide a "Resource Provider"[0] API that supports idempotent creation operations and standardized query patterns for read operations. Whether you create a resource through an ARM template, in the portal, or via the CLI, it's going through the same unified API surface.

So, there is definitely still state, it's just stored centrally.

No read replicas that can be promoted to master in an outage?
So state, but probably way slower and varies from cloud to cloud.
It is but the risk here is that this may be bad information: there’s no reason to believe it can only spread among gay men, or that it will continue to do so. And simultaneously it may be spreading elsewhere but we’re only seeing a subset of the infections because the gay community has been alerted and is looking. So if you do too much messaging about this, you’re potentially going to give people bad information. Not to mention that the last time we had a major outbreak of a “gay men’s disease” it led to some terrifically bad and discriminatory outcomes that were bad for patients and broad public health at the same time. (And no matter how much you might think the US has learned from that episode, plenty of countries still discriminate in law.)

Speaking of networking older games, I think the "TRIBES Engine Networking Model" is also an interesting read. Managing ~128 players over the internet in a single game back in the late 90's was no mean feat. A lot of these kinds of optimizations are still greatly applicable even today!

Edited the question to include 'temporary'. You would pay them back in the future, after the company has recovered from the economic setback.

I'm asking the question in the context of the current downturn. Say the need to reduce burn were not a result of poor hiring decisions, but larger macro reasons like difficulty raising funding in the face of a general downturn.
Sexual harassment, generally, is not a crime. Before we start going off the deep end here. In the US in general sexual harassment is a civil matter, not a criminal one.
there's a very small chance that cloud gaming may one day work. even if that small window of opportunity exists, the incompetent game industry will miss it.
I appreciate all the info. It’s nice to get real world opinion rather than published tech specs. I was considering replacing one of our vehicles with a Tesla pre-Covid, but Covid changed the equation due to both my wife and I being WFH permanently now. We ended up selling one car and just keeping a single vehicle. We take a fair amount of longer road trips and EVs to me just are not up to that task as time efficiently as I need them to be.

If we ever go back to a commute—we will revisit the EV option.
I don't have any data to back this up, but I would argue that the alcoholism is more cultural and circumstantial than causal.
It's not "the only difference" if he has left his side up and you have taken your side down. Of course people are going to be skeptical in that situation.

I see that thread also contains people asking for, and not receiving, proof of (now-deleted) allegations.
This is a valid point - air travel certainly can lead to the rapid global spread of infectious disease - but there's a counterpoint, for example the smallpox eradication program would likely have been impossible without the use of air travel as well. Here's a great overview of that campaign by its main director:

Our inability to handle crises that everyone can see coming from miles away just shows you that our political class is not doing its job. See the droughts, wildfires, power shortages, homelessness, drug overdoses, etc... These have the potential for leading California on a downward spiral.

We could and should have built far more renewable power. We could and should have built far more desalination plants. We could and should have cleared out far more undergrowth. We could and should have built far more cheap housing while cleaning up the streets.

The Democratic supermajority has been in power for years but has done nothing in these areas. Perhaps some solutions go against the far left of the party and so they do nothing. Perhaps these issues don't better help them get reelected.

Oftentimes, behind an issue is a powerful lobby group benefiting from the status quo. You can easily tell from the lobbyists that the politicians choose to meet with: PG&E, healthcare, teachers unions, etc... and who have carveouts against policies held over the rest of the population. That is why teachers were amongst the last to go back to in person, PG&E now has insurance against fires, etc...

The Democrats holding office bounce from one office to another up the office hierarchy irrespective of their qualifications for the office.

Many if not at the least overwhelming majority of the Republicans running for office appear to the neighborhood crazies you don't want to be office.
I don't have any data from the pandemic, but the trend for the two decades before that has been very strong:

In my experience, good habits beat genius 9 times out of 10 (maybe even 99 out of 100).

That other time, genius recreates the entire playing field and good habits are left sitting around staring at each other trying to figure out what the hell just happened.
Thanks for giving it a try!

Yeah I still need to collect more feedback on the difficulty. In the first mode the coin pool is limited to more well known coins. In the other modes it's unlikely that the player knows most of the coins and they have to rely on deduction and experience.

The difficulty also greatly depends on which coins are drawn each day. Some logos are much easier to match than others.

After I have more data on this I will make some adjustments, because I really want this game to be winnable by anyone while still providing harder challenges for the players who seek it.
Property tax?
Why not use normal networked storage (nbd/drbd, AWS EBS, etc.) instead of the ad-hoc Pageserver + Safekeeper architecture?

Or even better, use simple local SSD/HDD storage where data is small enough.
This is a really neat experiment. I really appreciate all the time that went into documenting and training the reader on why and how. Efficient compression of time series data is something that is fun to think about just like probabilistic structures or tries which provide space/time saves orders of magnitude more than naive approaches.
I totally agree, but I wish you had included MSNBC news with CNN and Fox. They all push a pro-war and corporate agenda, just in different flavors.
At that point you might have discovered not needing at all 99% of DevOps concepts, and that probably they exists because they help some making profits not because are good ideas.

In that terms, it's OT and very long to discuss here, my opinion is that's about time to ERASE 30+ years of IT crappy history to start back at pioneering time Xerox PARC for instance where ALL we use today was invented and implemented far better than now, where their antiquated technologies are actually far more advanced than most we use everyday calling them new and advanced.

An OS must came back to a unique fully-integrated environment, with a single programming language, no matter if Lisp, Smalltalk or something else, applications simply do not exists, are just built-in functionality we develop inside the system, deploy is just pushing code to available instances etc. Such VERY ancient model is actually far more advanced than modern one, demand far less efforts and resources giving back far more. It's not there because at a certain point in time IBM decide that compartmentalization and crap made profit and modern IT giants understand that very well going far beyond.
Thinking that a community lives in a git provider is a bad idea. It shouldn't matter who hosts a git instance, and I would argue it's better to fight for diversity here.
you can run netmaker in a lightsail VPS. Similar functionality / UI experience to tailscale but self-hosted

While I don't doubt it is an issue, the Russian military performance is adequately explained by:

1) Putin apparently thought the Ukrainian military officers had been bribed by the Russian FSB, but they had not, so he didn't expect as much resistance as he got (and thus wasn't ready for it)

2) The West (including non-NATO members such as Sweden and Finland) have contributed much more modern armaments (e.g. man-portable anti-tank weapons) than Russia (or maybe even the West) expected

3) Putin did not prepare Russia psychologically for a prolonged campaign, so most of the Russian soldiers did not expect to be sent to one, and were resentful upon discovering themselves in Ukraine for a fierce and prolonged fight

I'm sure alcoholism doesn't help with any of that. But, it doesn't seem necessary to explain Russia's performance.

Beethoven sonatas are here to stay as well. Besides the "Moonlight" I think the "Hammerklavier", the "Waldstein", the "Tempest" and the "Pathetique" are absolute masterpieces (and probably others).

Fur Elise is so overplayed that I cannot take it seriously tbh:(
The counterpoint to that argument is that there very well could be hundreds of artificially induced mutations that could give rise to extremely virulent or extremely transmissible strains, and yet that's not proof that such mutations would be at all likely to arise under natural conditions in the wild.
> These tragedies of the common can only be solved by coordinating efforts, but the geopolitical situation means that is impossible for now

Which efforts need to be coordinated?

> The fact that air travel accelerates transmission rates of novel diseases from remote parts of the world mean that these new diseases are a manifestation of harm done by the wealthy to the poor.

How new/novel? Early 1900s? 1960s? 1980s? 2000s?

> One interest aspect of these various outbreaks is that we now recognize that there are a lot more negative externalities to air travel that are not being priced in.

Are all positive externalities priced in? How do the scales weigh positive and negative externalities? Seems like air travel also does a lot of good.
Or you know, the person who's been under the most personal attacks by the most people in the world had a personality assassination attempt made on him, surprise surprise.

This literally is "I heard this from my friend" type of story, but everyone automatically believes this.
In the context of game assets, usually distribute in this sense means provide for download for other game devs to use, rather than include it in a published game. Generally speaking, asset artists are happy for you to modify their assets for use in your game (and often, it's necessary for game engine compatability or efficiency)
Fortnite is on Epic’s own engine so that seems a little unlikely.
Nice, but weird to mix it with retro pixel art. Simultaneously simulating old print AND old screens?
I really do not like that because the ban feels fuzzy. If you are a researcher exploring those algorithms and using Colab because you have very limited GPU access of you own, you might now be worried that your very own topic of research will get you banned from the ressource you are using.
> try stuff you don't already know how to do

I've seen this used as justification for implementation of shiny third-party things that were both a fundamentally unfit solution and permitted those pushing it to avoid understanding the root cause of their current problems.
I’m in over 10 years now and I find the deeper I go, the less I like this senior title. I mean, what will I be in another 10 years? In 15? These titles are meaningless, really.

I agree though, at 3 years I was still fairly junior in the scheme of things. I was doing full stack work and building money-making applications from scratch, but it wasn’t great work. It wasn’t going to scale well, the front end was based on an ad-hoc framework because I was afraid of learning and implementing new tools like backbone.js, there were very few tests, not great internal tooling to aid workflows, I wasn’t a great mentor, etc. A lot of what I did was because it worked once before, and not because I knew exactly how and why. My fourth year was when I got my first senior title, though.

I like when companies distinguish engineering levels by capability. E1 through E7 for example, where E5+ would be approximately what people imagine when they hear the term senior. Unfortunately everyone uses different leveling, so it’s hard to adhere to that. Our industry would benefit from standards.
That's still storing state, except instead of keeping it within a single file which you have full control over, you're instead sprinkling that state all over your infrastructure and then hoping it doesn't get mangled in between invocations.

And also hoping that service's API has all the tools needed to find your scattered state within a reasonable amount of time in order to diff any changes you make in your declarations

Why is it licensed under Apache and MIT? The underlying GTK is LGPL, so this is just creating extra licenses in a users project for no good reason.
