I'm split, I've not played the game so I only have the images provided to go off of, but for many of the photos, the old version looks massively better, much more artistic and evocative, but then for some of the images, like the crystals in Crystalgard, the new ones look so much better.

If I had to pick, I would probably choose the older version, but for the outdoor areas, and dungeons, and character portraits the new ones are visually miles ahead.

yeap, that was us :) thank you!
Ah, I guess iMessage sends it directly right? I’m still confused as to why people wouldn’t switch to whatsapp instead. For example, if your connection sucks iMessage will fallback to text and if you’re abroad or talking to a foreign number then you’ll get charged, that sounds like a massive issue to me.
One thing computer science has taught me is to take indexing seriously.
I've always found it interesting that when I'm pulled over for a traffic violation, a police officer can use their discretion on whether to punish me.

I've been pulled over a few times for speeding, and a couple times I simply got a warning, and other times I got a ticket and had to pay a fine.

If I committed a crime, why should an officer have that leeway? They caught me, I should have to pay the consequences... right?

I've wondered if part of the reason for that discretion is a tacit admission that the fines / consequences for these tickets are simply too high.
The inverse is also true--some people decide whether or not police are reputable or scumbags based on prejudice. Thankfully in either case, reputation systems (whether a formal ratings system or an informal social reputation) can tolerate outlier reviews and consequently "argument's like the parent's" are not a particularly good way to dismiss criticism of someone (if someone is designated "a scumbag", it's on the preponderance of their reviews, not just those of one or two prejudice people).
I work at Mozilla, so got a sneak preview (and also the first bugs) :)

(Of course technically the work was out there in the open already, since it's Mozilla.)

Agreed about the Bergamot website. I suspect it's not by Mozilla, but I'll see if I can ask someone to take a look, as I don't think all those connections should be necessary.
You don't see anyone hiring in America? Everywhere in New York I see "help wanted" signs.

That's the problem with applying "I know it when I see it" to an economy. Anecdotes from our daily lives and viral social media posts don't even begin to tell the full picture of activity among 330 million people. And the aggregate indicators are necessarily lagging.
It's the latest recession I know of where the fed raised rates with the explicit purpose of killing inflation.

The tricky thing about inflation, is once people start to believe inflation will continue it takes a whole lot of pain to stop the wage / price spiral and convince them otherwise.

Let inflation get out of hand, and it's very hard to put back in the bottle.
My codebase. I haven't experienced any pains as in this blog post. The biggest issue is to know about `git submodule init` and `git submodule update` for the one-time commands that have to be run. After that, each submodules' branches can be isolated and your traditional `git pull` will incorporate branch changes. When I cut a release to go to prod, each submodule has its SHA reflected in that.
If the data never leaves your device, then a third-party service never gets the opportunity to leak or misuse it. This is far more private.

How many stories have you heard about breaches due to accidentally mis-configured logging in web services? Also in the news lately was Twitter misusing 2fa phone numbers for advertising purposes.
That almost sounds like a productise-able thing? What is the sector ? Is there a "backend in a box" possible ?
There are very real issues that would be solved, not abstract ones like in the article above. See, for example, https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/series/queens-consent
I suppose they were aiming for a middle ground between reproducing an accurate quote that may be read as offensive by some, and using what they must have assumed to be 'preferred pronouns' but which would have entirely changed the tone of the quote.

Personally I think they should have just left the quote as it was - both for accuracy's sake, and because rapists shouldn't be afforded the privilege of having their pronoun preferences taken into account, even if they do end up being 'misgendered'.

And really, there's not much more of a display of harmfully inherently male behavior than a man using his penis to rape. 'He/him' is the only option that makes sense, in this context.
This is working as intended. Putin set his own country up for a painful and embarrassing fall for a nebulous security objective. It's unfortunate the russian (and ukrainian) people have to suffer so much for his foolishness.

> specifically how does making us decorate numeric literals help with "math done at runtime with some kind of input"

It forces you to be specific about rounding, minimum/maximum, and floating-point arithmetic.

Your compiler doesn't/can't know expected extremes of a value. If it defaults to, let's say, int64, then you're potentially wasting enormous amounts of memory (depending on the size of your data).

Similarly, the programmer needs to be specific about precision. If you know you're dealing with integers, then an integer type is great. If you know you need N digits of precision, you can select a numeric type that fits.

The type system becomes useful if/when you start to mix these numbers together. It can warn you that you're losing precision (or adding artificial precision, by casting an integer to a double, for example).

And that isn't even getting into questions of whether you want the number stored on the stack or the heap, which I believe Rust gives you more control over than most languages do.
Super interesting! Can you give some more info? What is work/life balance like at NG? Workload? Culture?

Any info on these would be appreciated!
Good read. I recently ran into this problem with Yarn Workspaces and TypeScript. There doesn’t seem to be a way to keep NPM packages in a monorepo if their TypeScript “lib” configurations clash e.g. a package shared utilities, another for React Native, and the browser.

AFAIK this is due to some limit in TypeScript’s project references. It’s not possible to add a typing lib to a particular package without the checker merging all global namespaces.
It was originally correct. Not sure why it was incorrectly changed to Svelte.
That's not what a wavetable is, by any definition relevant to synthesis.

Of course the VS has waveforms stored consecutively in ROM, with 32 more stored in NVRAM. That's just data. In wavetable synthesis, an entire table of consecutive waveforms is loaded into an oscillator. In vector synthesis, 4 individual and arbitrary waveforms are loaded into an oscillator.
> When it comes to the long term physical and mental outcomes of transgender hormonal therapy, we simply don't know.

Correction: you don't know anything about the long-term physical and mental outcomes for patients on HRT HRT, because you did not do any kind of research into it - you wouldn't need to use adjectives as vague as "unnatural" or "synthetic" otherwise.
That's quite handwave-y. What special magic does a human mind use to obtain qualities that a Python program doing linear algebra can't access? Both have "characterizations of known behavior".

Hydrogen alone clearly has more energy density than batteries. The question is how much hydrogen containers would reduce that advantage. So far hydrogen at least has the benefit of speed of refilling. In some applications, like aviation, hydrogen could bring benefit of reducing mass with spent fuel, something which batteries don't do.

I think 5kg containers for 3.3kWh is a good number, especially comparing with batteries, which had recent decades of targeted development. At least the technology is nowhere near of clearly losing to alternatives. "Green hydrogen" can definitely be obtained without generating CO2, the questions are elsewhere.

We don't allow our admins to use Parted to change partition tables on production servers. We feel that this is rational because the documentation explicitly says that it might be buggy: https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/parted.html "GNU Parted was designed to minimize the chance of data loss. For example, it was designed to avoid data loss during interruptions (like power failure) and performs many safety checks. However, there could be bugs in GNU Parted, so you should back up your important files before running Parted."
Works for some scenarios, but the receiver needs to support it.
Good observation. This sort of rating system would incentivize cops to go out of their way to have benign but unnecessary interactions with people. Maybe this wouldn't be all bad; optimistically such interactions might help bridge the divide between the public and police. But mostly, I think it would waste people's time and inflict a lot of unnecessary discomfort and stress.
This snail is a terrestrial mollusk, so that doesn't help you. But even if it did: the legislature was also trying to protect 3 different butterflies along with the snail. I don't think there's a way to weasel out of this.
Now if the top dogs behind the not-so-stablecoins needing such takeover could find themselves re-quartered in, ah, VIP suites in the Tower of London...
hmmm.

Ok, then I think I can more clearly restate my root question as: "do people upgrade pledge or commitment amounts as a consistent part of becoming one of the top contributers?"

I suspect they don't. I suspect you may increase rate/intensity of microtransactions as a natural part of interaction, but if the financial transaction part isn't an active part of the interaction cycle then the contribution amount probably stays pretty static.

I wonder where I could get data to sketch this out.
> ordinary britons would notice zero change

But that only proves that what we have now is an elective dictatorship where the Prime Minister of the day effectively exercises all the powers of the sovereign, without any real accountability or separation of powers.

Removing powers from the Queen (or even just codifying them in a written constitution) would be the first step towards fixing this democratic deficit and allowing the people to choose someone more suitable to hold those powers, with a proper mandate to support them.

The particular reform I propose is introducing a "Governor General" role for the UK, who has the power to veto laws, treaties, and wars, but remains nominally answerable to the Queen just as the Prime Minister pretends to be. To be eligible for the role, candidates would need to be nominated by 20% of MPs, and they would be elected in a national election using the Supplementary Vote method.
But there are a bunch of companies with open source projects that aren't open core, like Red Hat and Grafana.
From what I can tell he didn't just bulk send every domain, only the ones that are visible in the inbox. If you don't receive mail from a contact, I don't think the app ever uploaded anything.

Still pretty bad, and I don't think Google is wrong to flag the app because of this.

However, Google didn't say "if the user enables a certain setting, your app is uploading domain names from your users' contact list to third party avatar services", it said "you're uploading contact list information without disclosing that in the privacy policy".

They seem to know exactly what the problem was but described it in such a vague way that it definitely reads like an accusation of extracting data.

Both are wrong here, but Google is in a position of power and should be held to a higher standard. I'm sure just listing the hostnames that weren't covered by the privacy policy were enough to prevent this whole situation.

Banks nowadays are driven by software and are equivalent to SaaS. You probably don't want/need your email provider to have a brick & mortar presence in all cities, so why would you need your bank to do so?

Keep in mind that because banks are driven by software, at least in the UK, branch staff have very little power above what you can do yourself - they won't be able to help you if "computer says no". I'd rather have the computer say no to me directly than having to waste time going in-person just to get the same outcome.

This may be different to US credit unions, but even then, the writing is on the wall and it's only a matter of time before they get reduced to being mere servants of the computer.
You need an emergency fund. 6 months in savings, preferably another 6 months in ibonds. After a year you can roll the 6mo in savings into another tranche of ibonds.

Of course, this may not be necessary if you have 3x your yearly expenses in investments you can cash out if needed, but better safe than sorry.

> In fact I'd wager that's why sin taxes are effective, because the largest consumers of cigarettes, soda, etc are poor people

I'm not a fan of sin taxes. To me, taxes are for funding the government and should not be a form of punishment. If you punish people with taxes or try to change their behavior then you're just breeding resentment against taxes. Then the population votes to decrease taxes every chance they get because they're associated with punishment. Also, isn't a sin tax basically a fine with no chance to plead your case?
I think people forget about the scale a company like google has to operate at.
> So you’re worried that this recession will not be severe but the recovery could be terrible and set us up for another recession in 10 years?

No, I’m worried that the recession, even if not severe in aggregate terms, will be the occasion of a policy response that will set us up for an extended period of bad economic experience for most of the population despite a strong aggregate economy culminating in a catastrophic aggregate collapse both caused by and compounding the bad experience of the bulk of the population.

Top line aggregate numbers don't capture the general experience of the economy.

> Seems like what you are really saying is that you want an 80s style boom recovery

No, I am saying (to the extent a recent historic precedent is the model, though I don't expect the specific causes can or should be replicated) I want a 90s style boom recovery; the 80s “boom“, while not as bad as the 2000s expansion in distributional terms, was far worse than the 90s boom (e.g., real hourly wages fell through 1980s expansion, while rising overall—leveling out in the first few years, and rising strongly after—in the 1990s expansion.)

Life's a game of chance where we control the odds.

Just this morning I was reading Scott Adams's How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, and he was talking about making bets in Life that don't cost any money (they only cost time) and if we do this there's ~100% certainty of winning. Of course he's more eloquent and elaborate. It's also another way to look at "we miss 100% of the shots that we don't take".

The prediction reported here includes mirrorless cameras. The headline is wrong; it should've said "DSLR-style" or "stand-alone."

The tech reasons cited don't make sense, because any of those advancements could be applied to stand-alone cameras for even greater impact. Well, with one exception: "AI" fakery, which involves computing power that cameras will probably not be imbued with.
If the main reason your effort estimations are off is that you don't allow for unknown unknowns, then that's easily fixable.

After all, although we don't know which the unknown unknowns are, the possibility of them is known. And they do, in my experience, tend to increase the required effort by, say, 1--30 × depending on task complexity and familiarity.

So even in the most complex and unfamiliar of tasks, you can adjust the upper end of your estimate by 30× and there you go! Unknown unknowns accounted for in your effort estimation.

(Simpler or more familiar tasks require smaller adjustments to their upper end. Knowing how much adjustment is appropriate is a matter of deliberate practise.)
A good observation. If you are the creator trying to please one of your ten very wealthy super-patrons, have eyes on the back of your head because there will be thousands of people, some of 'em better than you, who will want to win away your patron's custom.

You're probably not special enough to hang on to your ultra-wealthy super-patron. There will be someone younger and cuter who'll come along and take 'em from you. Metaphorically, if not literally. And if you've devoted your life to trying to be their ultimate creator, and they leave, then you don't have much of a fall-back position. You've specialized around something that has been taken away. Your branding, your identity, is 'super-patron's ideal artist' and that's no longer true. Nasty.
Crypto winter is here, but normally it's always the beginning of a new era in web3 (in 2017 we saw crazy papers, but after the crash, in 2020 Defi and NFTs took the world by storm).

From a builder's perspective, each winter makes the ecosystem more mature and brings a new scale. So is web3 scaling to the next phase now and every component is going to see a new level of complexity and scale? does it mean, it's time for more mature observability tools to understand what's happening in smart contracts, oracles, and distributed persistence layers...? What do you think?

> This is a regular pattern I see, which is "developers pretending to be experts at everything because they're good at picking up knowledge and skills". There is a time component you can't skip when acquiring domain knowledge.

I wrote about this years ago: https://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/134

Both things can be true: it's good to have some product mindset and you should also defer to the experts. In fact, they build on each other, otherwise how can you communicate with the experts? You have to have some common, shared language to do so. They might learn engineering, but it's more likely a dev will learn some of the domain.
Mandating that cops enforce unpopular laws was critical to Teddy Roosevelt's reform of the NYPD to help reduce corruption. That leeway was used to solicit bribes, particularly to let bars open on Sundays.

I think that if we removed a lot of the leeway about enforcement we would find ourselves forces to ask, "What laws do we really care about enforcing in the first place?"

> Treat IPv6 as an extension of IPv4, not a separate network space.

We could have rolled out 6to4 with no anycast gateways, and the entire internet numbered from 2002:<ipv4>::/48. Every node could have IPv6, using only software updates and no cooperation from ISPs or RIRs.

That approach would have had some interesting positives and negatives, but the time to discuss it was >20 years ago.
