At least in the case of Blockbuster, I'd say the lag can be accounted for by the fact Netflix got into streaming in 2007. Prior to that Netflix started eating Blockbuster's lunch, but the service really took off once they managed to mainstream streaming. This was helped, in no small part, by the rapid rise in broadband penetration of that same time period.

Since you are a start-up and thus likely seeking an exit at some point, I wouldn't recommend it. Spending 10 USD per user/month on Microsoft 365 is a small investment but it gives most users instant familiarity with the tools and provides you with tools for collaboration (drafting contracts for instance). I don't think you can save money if you look at training effort alone. In the worst case you will be seen as hard to integrate (and hence buy) as a company because of a weird office stack.
I would generally use this for e2e testing since it's too expensive to run a 100% mirror of a large production environment. Well, depends on your scale and whether your production costs are a significant factor in your total expenses - I guess if your production costs are tiny compared to revenue/dev time spent debugging, you could justify a full mirror. For something like an eshop where revenue >> production costs you could probably justify cloning out production multiple times.

Sampling is another useful tool but I don't see any sampling in the API for this. If you do sample though you could end up with inconsistent or divergent state if you just sampled a flat % of traffic, so in some contexts it makes sense for sampling to be determined per-user/tenant/etc. rather than per-request.

This is pod based so you could easily slice by pod. If you have a pod with a lot less traffic, more impactful traffic, or that is harder to debug (example: pod that periodically aggregates and exports metrics but you believe it's dropping data sometimes) you could just enroll that and have some kind of dev shard of a portion of the stack.

I could also see this being very useful if you believe it to be too big a liability to record actual user requests (or implement something special to scrub out sensitive stuff) or let devs peek too close. You have a way of investigating some classes of issues without necessarily looking at sensitive data or requiring extensive back and forth in a support case.

I found most of your complains either false or non issue:

1. Ok, maybe a bug.

2. Given that is a mobile game and most people will no have the volume up, it is ok to have subtitles. Not to mention that games that start with subtitles are more accessible and the majority of players actually don't mind them and find them useful.

3. Fair, but given that this is a mobile game, V-sync can be a problem for lower end devices too.

4. False? I cleared the first mission and had no prompt for that and has not requested tracking at all. Android.

5. The hell you talking about? When you start you get a small cut scene and are given full control when they drop you off the ship.

6. The game is mostly online for what I can tell so updates are a given (and you can download areas separately)

Oregon State has approved the dosing of psilocybin during therapy sessions, but only to be administered by licensed therapists.

So far, there is quite a bit of evidence that two sessions of psilocybin dosing in a controlled environment does provide permanent relief for anxiety, depression and PTSD symptoms.

I have a lot of other anecdotal evidence that this is also the case in less.. controlled settings.
So I guess the answer is to be selfish and unapologetic about being selfish? Or is this another screed against a certain kind of affluent liberal/progressive person?

This is a good idea. I almost always get caught by this. Last week I had to make Notion account for something, immediately started getting daily spam from them. It's the same everywhere, they think signing up is somehow a license to spam. It has the opposite effect, it destroys any good will towards the company.

Slack is another big offender. Every time you sign up to a new channel you're back on a spam list for some reason. I don't know who is coaching these people, but like notifications, it's a big reason why I often just don't bother signing up for stuff

Normally I would agree but games are notoriously hard to get working in Safari (not to mention iOS Safari). It's basically a dead race and I never presume a game will work.
> modern processor would make a context switch a one instruction affair.

Reduced instruction set (complexity) is a hallmark of modern processor designs, not the other way around.

You might want to read about what is involved in a task switch (either "thread" with same memory mapping, or "process") but it is not something that is conducive to reasonably carry out in one instruction.

The congestion control algorithms that are applied in TCP and QUIC are actually even the same ones (e.g. Cubic, BBR, etc), so the technologies behave not too different over higher RTTs. Both will ramp up a congestion control window, which can get pretty big.

There are differences in behavior regarding what happens if loss is encountered and what exactly is retransmitted, but those still don't make QUIC radically different in terms of behavior and performance.
Ketamine is indeed apparently causing strong and long-lasting improvements in major depression even after single doses in clinical settings, with no continuous dosing required.

Are we talking about bored ape NFTs or something else? If it's just an artwork NFT, I fail to see how they'd pass the Howey Test. Specifically, it lacks the "To be derived from the efforts of others" part. Moreover, if bored ape NFTs are securities, does that mean paintings and gold bars are securities?

The traditional system was the male chef would abuse his male chef de cuisine. The male chef de cuisine would then abuse his sous-chef. The sous-chefs would take it out on all the cooks who would then physically hit, kick, torment, haze, and pressure each other as punishment for bringing this shit down on them yet again.

Why ARM company is this important?
>There is 0 value to things that can be generated with in games like the 'loot' from lootboxes.

But that's false, on its face in fact- there was development and artist time involved in every step of the process, and that time has a value (and an auditable one, at that).

So now that we know what the value is, taking into account that the house can only pay out in those assets, we can in effect determine a maximum profit per asset (as far as the house-player transaction is concerned)- casinos close their doors when the house is no longer able to pay out, and it's no different here.

I'm going to read this book. Looks very interesting and perhaps explains a lot of the exuberance.
I guess it may work in situations where their support / extra feature cost is high enough where it's not worth for them to elevate you above free/no-support. But I've found the same thing annoying with multiple services. Zoho desk, zoho meeting, datadog apm from recent memory where I'm in a position where I want to give them money, but the initial step is just not worth it for me. I'm going to have like 5 support cases item, or organise 4 meetings a month, or I want to send you maybe 100mb of tracing data - I want just the feature itself - take my money, but not $30/mth for service I barely ever use. I don't even want your support available.
I don't the the parent was describing the abusers as misfits, but that the job can accomodate people who don't fit in to other work

to put it another way, it's not that the kitchen turns people into alcoholics, it's that alcoholics find it hard to work anywhere else (since they can indulge their vice while gainfully employed)

As for abusers, they may find it convenient to fill their payroll with people who can't make it elsewhere (drug addicts, misfits), such that your employees won't quit the second you start sexually harassing them

(edit: a sibling comment to you makes a good point about the cycle of abuse, start as a misfit, get hazed, perpetuate the cycle of hiring people who put up with your abuse because they have no where else to go)
I'm a stay-at-home father.

My wife stayed home for a few years for traditional reasons, and then got an offer that was too good to refuse. So I left my position to support and my family when she returned to work, as well as because I was looking for a career change.

So we've taken turns.

I haven't really stopped working in some ways. I still serve on many professional committees and positions and do consulting, but don't have a salary per se, and wouldn't survive financially on my own.

I've found myself asking the same question you have. The linked essay really resonates with me as do many of the posts here.

Society really makes so many assumptions about peoples' lives. There's a lot of lost opportunities because of impulsive, angry, or prejudiced decisions. I'd say in the last 10 years of my life a dominant theme has been a feeling of being walled in by others' prejudices and presumptions, of being typecast in a lot of ways. Not just with regard to gender (that might be the least of it really), but with regard to what I can offer, what my skillset is, what I'm interested in doing, and all sorts of other things.
The last time I went to Dave & Busters, they didn't seem to have an entrance policy.

People don't seem to have a problem with this even though a minority of their games are ultimately slot machines (the simplest of which is the "time the light" game, but the coin stackers count as this as well given that they're literally right out of real casinos).

Interestingly, the fact that D&B lets you combine winnings with cash to simply buy prizes outright arguably puts them under the 'gambling' line from a legal standpoint (it works if the tokens have "no value", which is how arcades generally do it for this specific reason- combining points with your leftover cash makes this fig leaf vanish), but the fact that they let you do that in the first place is also a pro-consumer move.
I was browsing my media and decided to rewatch this, as I hadn't looked at it in fifteen years or so.

I was mainly struck by the unalloyed optimism of pretty much everyone who contributed, including Linus, Richard Stallman, Eric Raymond, Alan Cox, Ted T'so, Eric Allman and many other original neckbeards (I use that appellation affectionately, and in a bunch of cases, literally).

In the 20-plus years since the film was released, much has changed.

I think much of the optimism embodied by RMS and the FSF has waned a good deal (and more's the pity), and the complete reversal of Microsoft from Ballmer's "Free Software is communism" to Nadella's embrace of GNU/Linux in both Azure and WSL, to the co-opting of Linux for Google/Android, as well as aging and slow drift towards retirement/death/irrelevance of those who championed Free Software for nearly four decades have really hurt the movement, while boosting Open Source.

I think that refocusing on "free as in beer" instead of "free as in freedom" across the development community may have been inevitable as GNU/Linux (although I guess it could have been GNU/Hurd[5] or one of the BSDs) became mainstream a couple decades after the commoditization of IBM PC-like hardware.

That got me thinking, where does that leave us and "who are the new neckbeards tht can carry the vision of Free Software into the middle of the century?" Are there really any such folks with the passion and drive to champion Free Software moving forward?

Or is Free Software (as originally defined[0] and advocated for by RMS and the FSF) dying a slow death in favor of "Open Source" and more permissive licenses like MIT[1] and Apache[2]?

What will Open Source look like in 2050, 52 years after Bruce Perens and the OSI's[3] Open Source definition[4]?

That's probably what happened and not a conspiracy theory but that doesn't make Luna or algorithmic stablecoins less bad. If they are vulnerable to attacks, then they're not stable.

Since guests are free in ultimate, we could probably go from 150 to 50 licenses.
However that requires us to do a cleanup of repo roles and limit who can contribute.
We also have a divide between pure developers and IaC users, but can only have one kind of license.
It's fragmenting our users, and in order to justify Ultimate we need to force all users on GitLab for everything, even when a team has an alternative they are happy with (like security scans).

While Apple should be able to enforce this at an App Store level, it seems to me there’s a pretty simple heuristic that could be applied as a per-app notification setting:

“Mute notifications if I haven’t used this app in more than 24 hours”

That ought to catch the majority of notification abuse, and to tighten it even further, the inactivity periods could be configurable (24, 8, 2 hours, etc).

> 100 MHz IBM PC with 512MB of RAM

That doesn't sound right. The "100 MHz" in the first half is too low for a machine from 20 years ago, and "512MB of RAM" for a modest machine of the same era is too high.
Currently using Docker Swarm with bind mounts instead of volumes, because they're a bit easier to work with, backup-wise.

Infrastructure wise, there are a few VPSes from a local provider (https://www.time4vps.com/?affid=5294 affiliate link), though I've also used DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Scaleway and others in the past, AWS, GCP and Azure would work as well, though would be much more expensive. For executing CI tasks and backing up the data, i have a few servers on my desk (though regular towers with passive cooling, instead of the rack mounted kind), since those are more cost effective, especially storage wise.

The actual files are backed up with BackupPC over the network automatically, at a set interval, to another server: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/ Then, of course, the backup server data is occasionally sent to another server in my local network, just to spread it around more, in case of disk failures or one of the servers shorting out.

Admittedly, it's a lot like using regular rsync with cron, although the benefits of BackupPC are being able to really easily restore files, as well as having incremental backups with compression.

It is a bit rudimentary as far as handling data goes, but sometimes that's all that you need: https://blog.kronis.dev/tutorials/simple-ways-to-do-backups

Alternatively, one might also achieve the same result with something like Bacula, Kubernetes with either hostPath or maybe even just a NFS mount. Other folks might prefer something like GlusterFS or a similar distributed storage solution, or something like Longhorn for Kubernetes in particular.
If code is law and its all deliberately unregulated, is it an attack, or is it simply an innovative leveraging opportunity?

Well, using your own words, 1/3 of the 3.8m burglaries happen with a homeowner present. It's a lot better to have a gun in such situations. Whether the intruder is armed is irrelevant: being sliced with a knife, beaten with a shovel or raped by a unarmed dude isn't a great outcome. As for those laws that protect the burglars from homeowners, they have to be changed. But even if you lived in such a state, first you defend yourself and your family with a gun, shooting the intruder if necessary, and then find a lawyer, in that order. Regardless of the laws, I find it appalling that some people embrace this submissive attitude to "burglar's rights in your house" and try to impose this attitude onto others.
