Does this provide a method to send only updates/differences/deltas to the frontend and update only the changed/new table rows? (In other words, consume a JSON on the backend and send only updated rows to the frontend in order to avoid sending the entire table data for every update.) Or is there a more advanced table system that can handle this?

(Live-updating views of tabular data retrieved via an SQL query are a requirement that I've been looking for a PHP/Laravel-JS solution for, but maybe there's something better in the pure-JS world for it. Should I be looking at a solution like Meteor, FeathersJS, or Phoenix LiveView?)

edit: Wow, I just looked at AG-Grid mentioned in other comments, and the first example is a live-updating table ("Live Streaming Updates"). But it doesn't seem to provide server-side diffing of the source data...guess I'll have to handle that manually in application logic by making the frontend request rows with id > the last id it has.

If the protection only lasts for a number of weeks it is not a vaccine but a prophylaxis, comparable to e.g. Quinine (against Malaria, once upon a time). Vaccines provide protection for a longer period of time, from years (Influenza, TBE) to lifetime (Diphtheria, Whooping cough, Measles, Polio, Pox, etc.).
Clever. It's creating a 1x13 image and filling it, left to right, with rgb values that correspond to the hex values of each character in "Hello world!\n". Then using the "gray:filename" output to flatten each RGB value (like #484848) into one grayscale value (like #48, 'H').

He first fills it with 6C, which corresponds to a lowercase 'l', to reduce the amount of points that need to be filled in with something different...since 'l' is repeated a lot in "Hello world\n".

Edit: A more compact way to get the same outcome:

$ convert 'inline:data:image/x-portable-graymap;base64,UDUKMSAxMwoyNTUKSGVsbG8gd29ybGQhCg==' gray:hello
You are right but this is about the Apple GPU (Graphics) embedded in the M1 rather than the CPU. There is no existing driver for this Apple GPU (for doing "accelerated" 2D/3D graphics)
I feel sorry for today’s gamers.

When I was a gamer during the Quaje2 era, my “addiction” was in trying to be the best.

Immediately after school, I would practice various maps to understand their jumping kinetics and would spend time studying and understanding all the weapon shots/kill zones to the pixel level.

No money was spent on the ‘addiction for excellence’.

These days, I actually miss this type of addiction, the one where you want to excel at a skill-based game. (Mostly a matter of not having time)
Right, that’s my point. Anyone with knowledge of undergrad math would understand a perfect projection is impossible whereas a less than perfect projection is easy.

Not sure how these turbines would interrupt migration patterns. Noise pollution maybe. But that should be smaller than that of a ship engine.

They shouldn't kill any macro fauna. It has to be evaluated in practice of course, but sea animals don't travel at speeds where bumping into something is fatal. If they bump into the blades at all, which move a lot slower than a ship propeller.

What else is new from Blizzard?

My roommate in college was addicted to WOW. He'd lock himself in his room for days, failed his classes, and eventually dropped out of school. He finished it later, but only after getting over the WOW addiction. Back then (circa 2005) I remember reading stories about how Blizzard was hiring psychologists to make players more addicted ahem I mean "engaged" to WOW. Really, I guess that was just the start of it.

Blizzard has a long and sick history of hijacking human psychology for profit. Really glad I stopped buying games from them after Warcraft III.
I was quite explicit in my comment about what particular scenario I was addressing: that inflation would rise as result of redirecting already existing money. That's literally all of my main point.

Whether or not it can fit a government budget is a separate discussion. But I'll just say I'm very weary of these "destroying entire fields of research with basic arithmetic".
Neither are people who move from the third world hoping to make money to make a better life for their (now distant) families.
I downvoted this comment as I disagree strongly with that statement:

> git has absolutely no meaning for a child, it's a professional tool used for work

It's not just a professional tool for work. It's a version control system to version whatever you might think needs versioning. What's this attitude that software engineering tools and skills are just valuable for work?

> you don't teach children how to operate a chainsaw, do you?

A chainsaw is very dangerous to the kid. My dad certainly told me how to use a hammer, handsaw and many other tools. We built a lot of things together like wooden remote controlled airplanes. It was certainly neither to train me to become a woodworker or aerospace engineer. And I will certainly build computer games with my kid some day which will involve git (or its future equivalent) as one of the first lessons.
That’s why I keep using the word future :) cheers!
I never did; though even my employers acknowledged that I was undervalued - albeit as I walked out the door.

I wasn't joking though - I haven't been able to work for years and have no real hope of piecing myself back together.

(Mushrooms help, though they're seasonal - and there's no damned way the government's ever going to legalise them.)
Ah right, I don't play games on mobile, but I think there are still mobile games with simple straight-forward pricing models. For example the Baldur's Gate series got released on mobile (already a few years ago), and Wadjet Eye Games releases most of their adventures on mobile too I think. There are undoubtedly others.

But I guess they're harder to find/more rare. As others mentioned, most people spend nothing to little on these "free" games, so as a no-spend gamer you can choose between 1) free, or 2) pay $10 (or whatever they charge) to play a game. Not necessarily a hard choice if the "free" game is "entertaining enough".
> Banning rarely accomplishes anything, it just moves one appearance of the problem out of sight for a period of time

If the ban is easy to enforce I do not think this is true. IMO it is when the ban is next to impossible to enforce when the crime just shifts (drugs, for instance)
Completely agree with you, although it's hard to explain why.

Teaching children specifics without fundamentals prepares them for the job market, not for life.

I don't see any way those turbines could affect marine life more than a ship. Probably less.

Amazon Kids+ is also a really good option for younger kids. Got a large number of games for a few pounds a month.

The unfairness doesn't derive so much from the act of cheating. It's more that he got the answer ahead of time because of his connection to someone at the company. When people talk about certain inequities in tech demographics I think it's not unreasonable to point to situations like this as part of the problem.
Just be very careful in the third party realm of the store. There have been a lot more "free to play" games released recently on Switch.

> They will just move on to countries with less regulation

This knee-jerk application of libertarian ideology makes even less sense in this situation than usual. The gaming industry is dependent on improving computer hardware hardware, in-game sales rely on consumers with at least a certain degree of expendable capital. The core markets will always be countries that are well off, companies cant 'just go elsewhere' without significantly sacrificing their potential income.

Also you do realise that the wealth of a country does not correlate directly to it's levels of education?
What the West (Still) Gets Wrong About Russian President Vladimir Putin
A few things I like to do to avoid this:

- read only connections / users in general

- append _prod / _stage to the database name to avoid ambiguity (and ensure psql is configured to show the database name at the prompt)

- configure editors to color code sessions where possible (red for prod, amber for stage and green for dev/local)

- if a manual data modification is necessary, use a transaction and have commands prewritten to verify the intended outcome

In terms of underlying infrastructure I also very much appreciate deletion protection in terraform providers for any data stores, forcing a two phase destruction (one plan/apply to disable the protection and a second to actually destroy)

>Oh, and keep in mind false negatives have almost no downside but false positives hurt the recruiter financially, and hiring bad people is expensive.

This gets repeated over and over, makes sense rationally on a superficial level, but falls apart once you think deeper into it without substantiating it with evidence.

We don't work on a binary false positive / true positive scale. We don't know the efficiency of each variable going into the equation with which we filter false positives. Layering proxy on proxy doesn't guarantee an increase in the ratio of true positives to false positives. All these variables are costly and subject to diminishing returns. At the end, the workplace is still arguably a far bigger deciding factor in the outcome than who you hire.

If you're a big corp like MS getting at least a few dozen candidates after initial automated filters, that's one thing. If you're a relative no-name with a handful of candidates and a fat management layer pulling these shenanigans, it's about time we get real and call them out.
My take on cryptocurrency has become: it’s also all gambling, and for that reason I no longer think there is any chance of it going to zero. Absent regulation there is a simply massive market for gambling. It’s shameless exploitation but people will do it (on both ends).

Most of this stuff is actually worse than casinos. Casinos have a social component, employ people, and are often at least a little regulated so that the odds can’t be absolutely 100% toward the house. Also you win actual money not a virtual game item.
I am afraid the intended relation may have been "stubborn and egoist"¹. (The relation would be anterior to the two terms, it would be within that alleged profile.) After all, my friend, the poster is convinced they are babies...

(¹So, logically, as you are reasoning, the poster formulated, in a deontic context, "▫¬S ∧ ▫¬E".)

Edit: of course, when I wrote «was not connecting them», I meant "in a non-syntactic relation (causal etc)".
if doing the same exact rift over and over for weeks in order to unfreeze your game progress is something you find enjoyable then yes. but realistically I don't think there exist that much people who would enjoy this.

This is some backwards logic there - its the problem of the businesses to provide value.

If some business model provides no value, it is not a viable businesd model.

A more modern take on this question, in a wider form, is Mancur Olsen's Logic of Collective Action

> Its central argument is that concentrated minor interests will be overrepresented and diffuse majority interests trumped, due to a free-rider problem that is stronger when a group becomes larger.

Basically, tight groups, can leverage their power over larger, less organised groups, by buying off and/or threatening anyone who steps out of line.
I don’t agree that this would be considered “cheating”. I think though that this is another reason why interviews with coding assessments are quite useless.
It's almost perfect. A small fork removing Discord things makes it effectively so.
Oh, I did not got this reference. Thanks for explaining.

Than that comment is even more to the point than I thought!

At least now I'm sure it deserves an up-vote — as your helpful comment does.
Yeah, I think this is the crux of it. Hiring sucks for everybody involved. I hate it because the process is ugly and the cost of failure is enormous (emotionally to me, financially to my budget, and personally to my reputation).
Where did I mention its cheap, exactly?
Some of the Xerox PARC digital archives have printouts from Cedar, including the bytecode and microcoded CPU instructions, now if everything is there, no idea.
I once worked at a tech-focused games company (sadly no longer existing) which had the best interview process I’ve ever seen.

They had this massive programmer test. It was something like 40 pages long, hardcopy, double-sided. With answers needing to be written on the test generally in essay format; no computer allowed (and so no real coding involved; it was all about concepts and not about syntax). It covered everything; math, physics, logic, sound, calculus, hardware, etc. The thing was so long that we estimated it’d take a really strong applicant about four hours to complete the whole thing if they somehow were experts on all the topics simultaneously.

We informed the applicants about the test’s length upfront; that it was designed to be a 4 hour test, and that they were only going to get to spend one hour and that we absolutely didn’t expect them to know everything (or even most things) on it. That the point was for them to pick the questions they were most interested in and to only work on those ones.

And then we never formally scored the test.

Instead, we basically used it as a conversation-starter for the interview which immediately followed the test, using it as a springboard to talk about their understanding and skills and why they had selected to do one section over another, or about particular questions which they’d provided interesting (or problematic) answers to.

The “here are a whole lot of questions, answer whichever ones you want, you can’t answer them all and we’re not scoring you on how many you get right” approach always felt kind of ‘fair’ to me in a way that pure interviews or coding questions never did, for me.

(caveat: I wasn’t hired using that test; I had been hired as a junior long before, based on my portfolio and a short interview, and the folks who did get hired via taking the test may not have liked it as much as I did. But I loved that it didn’t hang everything on a single gimmick code question the way I’d seen from a whole lot of other companies)
I really don't think anybody believes the network is reliable, it's mostly that you have no freaking clue how the software layers lower than you will react to various conditions and the way an error will be visible to your app will be completely random.

I don't think this analogy is a very good one. Grain that has gone bad has close to zero utility. But office space in a city has tons of utility. It could be converted to residential space, for example. A better analogy might be a sudden shift in tastes that caused the demand for grain to drop. The grain could still supply markets for animal feed. And the farms that planted grain this season can be converted to some other crop.
What would be some practical purposes for this?

> Isn't addiction diagnosis usually about "does this negatively impact your life and relationships"?

Yes. This is more or less standard criteria for diagnosing mental disorders.

A. Persistent and recurrent problematic gambling behavior leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, as indicated by the individual exhibiting four (or more) of the following in a 12-month period:

1. Needs to gamble with increasing amounts of money in order to achieve the desired excitement.

2. Is restless or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop gambling.

3. Has made repeated unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop gambling.

4. Is often preoccupied with gambling (e.g., having persistent thoughts of reliving past gambling experiences, handicapping or planning the next venture, thinking of ways to get money with which to gamble).

5. Often gambles when feeling distressed (e.g., helpless, guilty, anxious, depressed).

6. After losing money gambling, often returns another day to get even (“chasing” one’s losses).

7. Lies to conceal the extent of involvement with gambling.

8. Has jeopardized or lost a significant relationship, job, or educational or career opportunity because of gambling.

9. Relies on others to provide money to relieve desperate financial situations caused by gambling.

Triphosphates are like tiny "batteries". A lot of important reactions in a cell are just moving the third phosphate to another molecule to "move" the stored energy and do something useful later, or to move the third phosphate back to charge again the "battery".

So it's not expected to have a lot of charged batteries floating around. IIRC there are some non-biological process that produce triphosphates, but the amount is tiny^n. In a life-less world, is the production speed enough to make them accumulate until there the concentration is high enough for this reaction? Or they break before they can form RNA chains?

Also, IIRC there are some alternative proposal for the formation of the first RNA. All are horrible slow an inefficient. Is this new method slightly less slow and slightly more efficient?
Yup. Exactly. Drugs should be legalized too.

I have a pretty dim view of endpoint security, seeing it mostly as a thing that works against me rather than for me. I feel that any threat model that includes "zero-day exploits" is almost always poorly formed and sensationalist, rather than grounded in a genuine evaluation of security tradeoffs.
> Okay, would there have been an outrage if it "only" cost $1000 to full gear-up in the game?

Yes, since AAA games are typically $60 - $70. The amount here just highlights that they have no real ceiling to the amount of money they'll try to extract from someone. It's the behavior people are complaining about, not the amount.
Higher salary but with less public services and more insecurity, in the end, it doesn't matter much.
Shit happens, trust me.
Cgit is even more light weight and secure.
FWIW I prefer gogs (from the original developer).
> But do let me know if you see how someone would be able to exploit those scripts

My (and my teams) rule of thumb is simple here - if shellcheck complains, that better be reviewed, usually it complains for a reason and makes code better/safer.
Another really great service is XBox Gamepass - you pay a monthly fee and just get the games. There's occasionally DLC for something but not the voracious grubbiness of the free to play and mobile space.
Perhaps they would stop doing that if such a filter existed in the first place.
