Not the GP but maybe I can help elucidate the position they're representing. The GP advocates for what is known as the "metabolism-first" hypothesis in origins of life theory. The motivation of this theory that some chemists and biologists find it implausible that a self-catalyzing RNA based biological machinery would have formed spontaneously from a collection of basic precursor chemicals, even given very long spans of time and large volumes of precursors. They believe this because nucleic acids are very complex structures and themselves require very complex biologic machinery to assemble, and their understanding of the likelihood of chemical reactions suggests its unreasonable to expect them to form in geological time spans. They posit that instead its more likely that nucleic acid based systems were themselves preceded by system(s) composed of sets of simpler chemicals (ones which are likely to form spontaneously) which together catalyze each other's formation (a so-called "auto-catalytic set"), and that this era of simple metabolisms eventually produced a nucleic acid based system which completely overtook and replaced/assimilated the more primitive auto-catalytic set world.

Here's a primer on the metabolism-first hypothesis: https://www.statedclearly.com/videos/what-is-the-metabolism-...
> Yeah. I never really cared about whether or not "it is", until configuring things started to get out of hand.

That seems pretty much entirely unrelated? It just is a software project that happens to be distributed by the same umbrella project.

Yes, Cedar was impressive, like the adult version of the Oberon system. I wonder if the source code of the Cedar environment is available somewhere. There is an interesting report by Atkinson (and Jacobi, who is on the panel in the posted video) where they migrated the environment to Unix using C as an intermediate layer. This is apparently the version used for the demonstration. But I couldn't yet find this source code anywhere. Maybe someone has a link.
This is a well-known problem of Unix (and software in general) - the original tools have suffered 'feature creep' and expanded far beyond their original intended capabilities.

Discussed here on the venerable cat-v website, which is itself named after this very phenomenon: http://harmful.cat-v.org/cat-v/

It's difficult to know where/when to draw the line though. I went through a phase of being a massive Unix fanboy but found that if you follow the philosophy too strictly, you end up with a tonne of disparate 'tools' that you have to string together several of just to do anything useful. If you have a script that e.g. loops over a list of files, you might have to spawn a large number of processes for every single item in the list, for functionality that feels like it should be built into one program (but if you add one extra feature behind a flag, then there's no reason we shouldn't add another little extra feature behind a flag, and that's how feature creep happens!).

Not only that, but once you start stringing together various Unix utilities, the expected output of each becomes set in stone (even if the output is just a single line of tab-separated numbers with no obvious meaning, e.g. `wc`). Plain text can be a lot more fragile than Unix fans would like to admit. You could add an option to a program to present the output in a different/better format if needed, but then that's another flaggie that could be better handled by a separate utility... (e.g. instead of an 'output as json' flag, why not have a 'convert input to json' utility that we can pipe the output through?)

In time, I've come to use a mix of single-purpose Unix tools with all their assorted flags, along with monolithic one-man-band tools (e.g. `find` - I have very little trust in piping things through xargs sh -c "run two commands on \"\$filename\" and please don"'"'"t fuck up quotes in \"\$filename\"" - or is it {}? or "{}"? or \"{}\"? or \{\}? You get the picture). Piping stuff together is good for when you're writing shell one-liners and making it up as you go along / as needed, but for anything more than that where a script file is needed, these days I'm more inclined to rewrite it in a 'kitchen sink' language such as PHP or Perl.

>> The Singularity research codebase and design evolved to become the Midori advanced-development OS project. While never reaching commercial release, at one time Midori powered all of Microsoft’s natural language search service for the West Coast and Asia.

> https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/singularity...

> Ironically, despite still having the Linux kernel underneath and enough C++, Android and ChromeOS are probably the mainstream OSes that are closer to the overall idea, at least in what concerns userspace applications.

Singularity uses a proprietary language-based microkernel. Midori was allegedly an attempt at a commercial version of Singularity, and I'm not sure what is different about the two, but Midori also uses a microkernel. Linux famously uses a monolithic kernel. Also, consider, any operating system that uses the Linux kernel... is Linux by definition, though technically Linux is the kernel, GNU/Linux is the OS.

There is a piece of container management software, I think that's what it is, called Singularity, and it uses the Linux kernel running on Linux. Maybe you were thinking of the wrong Singularity.
I don't understand this comment at all.

> They will just move on to countries with less regulation, which usually means poorer countries with less educated people. You can probably see where this is going.

Great - they've moved on from my country because of the ban.

> Banning rarely accomplishes anything, it just moves one appearance of the problem out of sight for a period of time.

Just above you told me what it was accomplishing. And if it "just moves one appearance of [capitalism making it so that businesses have desirable incentives that would make them willing to literally instill gambling problems in children] out of sight for a period of time" then also GREAT! That's what the legislation was FOR.

If the legislation stops working, we can discuss again then.
Hmm, I thought Linux already supported ARM architecture.
Is there something different about M1? Is it not like other ARM?
If you believe that, I have some leaded gasoline to sell you.
JQuery Datatable is pretty good as well. More features. You'll have to include Jquery which I guess feels a bit unclean but you can easily make it work with Vue, Angular etc if you know those libraries well.

I doubt many website owners feel they have an ethical responsibility to provide public APIs to their data so people wouldn't scrape their content. It is up to them what they want to do with it.

I just feel like the whole thing is a chicken and egg problem - both sides could be nicer to the other but no one wants to go first!

I do like the idea of identifying web scrapers in the user agent but I'm not sure how many websites would use it...
I think period of protection is extremely important factor when evaluating how effective a vaccine is. Or would you call any of the traditional vaccines effective if we needed to take them multiple times a year? I would not. Clearly such vaccine is not effective on scale.
I have not followed the vaccine efficacy as closely as I should. But for the past two years masks have been ‘known’ to reduce transmission rates. Data has finally been released showing that these cloth masks do not help reducing transmission rates.
This effectively needs at least the same kind of regulation as Casinos. It's nothing else than gambling, arguably much worse and predatory in luring you in and making you spend money.

There was a leaderboard posted in the local gym. It was for the most frequently coming members. Some of them regularly racked up >400 visits a year. I didn't even realise at the time that it was weird until a doctor mentioned that these are likely people with addiction or body image issues. I guess you can overdo anything.

Interestingly, this whole technology might come to market more quickly than a nuclear reactor in an industrialized country could be build from decision to commercial operation.

At best, nuclear power is unwieldy, hard to calculate, needs a vast, highly specialized infrastructure and workforce and leaves you with radioactive waste with no solution realized as of yet. At worst, "impossible" accidents happen, people shoot at your reactor, nation states devolve and use the fuel for dirty bombs, somebody tries to blow the reactor up on purpose...

You would probably get less downvotes if you provided some cites for these claims.

Low risk, high reward.

Close to 0% chance someone would find out, as that would involve the person revealing the question also facing consequences - unless the company has some elaborate scheme involving modified and unique questions tailored for each candidate, and keeping track what candidate got which question. But that obviously wouldn't work with a trivial question like the one OP got.

Either that, or some third party which could have intercepted the communication between OP and the friend revealing the question. But again, what are the chances...

And on a tangent - should candidates "grinding leetcode" reveal that they've encountered the question before? That's the whole point of leetcode.
Reading the headline I wondered: is there a lot that is not harder on less educated people?

> Gaining access to free ingame stuff by cheating might mitigate some harmful economic effects but it wont necessarily allow an addict to stop.

The free stuff exists to instill an habit in players. People literally force themselves to log into the game and do daily tasks because otherwise they're missing out on daily rewards.

My bot completely nullified their little scheduled rewards design. I was now free to play the game whenever I actually felt like playing. Then I discovered I didn't actually feel like it, I was just going through the motions due to negative reinforcement.

Don't underestimate the power of software. It can literally liberate us.

> It is a violation of the rules and will get you banned

Whatever. No big loss.
Sure they do. Not on a one go, maybe, just wait for the interest to pile up. Shor-term unsecured loans are notorious for trapping people into financial ruin. Their legality depends on jurisdiction but the last time I checked they were present in many first-world economies.

Easy access to high-interest loans is what makes deliberate addiction mechanics for mass consumption entertainment truly insidious.

Gambling used to be branded as gambling with strict state controls, and you could expect people to recognize it as a morally questionable endeavor in which only consenting adults should dabble. Games that utilize the same psychological switches as gambling and allow microtransactions that link to these psychological switches are similar enough to gambling in my books that they should be treated as such.

Every single statement in this post is a lie, its a bit of an achievement

1 - some children have no parents

2 - we have data to prove that parents don't know what their children do online, and never did. This is a complete fabrication

3 - children do have access to creditcards, both legally from the age of 14 or 16 depending on jurisdiction, and illegally

4 - there are many non-credit-card ways of paying for ingame items, including crypto

Anyway, given your views, I presume you are in favour of legalising cocaine and other drugs? Otherwise this whole line of argument would be hypocritical.
I have a Switch (got it when I had a surgery to ease the long recovery). The Nintendo IP is almost completely bullshit free. The success of Switch is nice too.

FromSoftware is another bastion of hope. The popularity of Elden Ring is no coincidence.
I'm all for advertisement ban. Or at least limiting periods allowed. It gets either really funny, sad or scary however you take it when you see some games like Raid Shadow Legends advertised for years extremely prominently. At least when comparing to most other mobile titles... And then the places it is advertised. Like cooking channels...
Those are good questions, but having questions doesn't decrease my interest, it just gives it context.

It is about hitting a very small/light ball very far. It is about interaction with natural elements in real time (wind/grass etc). It may be physics but it is physics in the real non-vacuum world.

I think your question was a pretty low barrier to winning, but I guess not. That's about when SXSW became more of a circus, filled with lots of "fake it 'till you make it" types.

"We work with influencers in offering coupons, to crowdsource brand awareness.."

And for that matter you can live in the "countryside" and still have ready access to many major cities. I live in the middle of fields, conservation land, and orchards.

On Fiverr you can buy a lot of digitally deliverable services of many types. It has become my goto for things I need to do but don't have the time or the skills. I've just searched the site for the skill I need, have a look at their portfolio to see that it's not to generic. Then I negotiate a price for what I want them to do and in what time frame and how many revisions. Sometimes when I don't have time to fail I've ordered the same project from two sources. A thing that helps the result immensely is to be able to describe in detail what it is you want. That entails design decisions, style but also formats for delivery etc. Good luck!

Gambling in the gaming world is even more prominent on Twitch and it's not even pretending to be gaming related anymore.

An incognito screenshot of Twitch I captured just now https://i.imgur.com/fgXDAHB.png - The biggest streamer on the platform is currently streaming real money (crypto) online Slots gambling to 100k+ viewers, and a second streamer in the top 5 category is also streaming Slots.

Supposedly these streamers make millions per month from these gaming sponsorships to pretend to lose their own money in order to convince their already primed audience to become addicts to these same sites.

Children brought up on gaming have been conditioned into becoming the perfect audience for unregulated crypto gambling companies to advertise to and ruin their lives

Having the turbines submerged means stuff builds up on top of them. Eventually the blades have to be scrubbed or replaced.

Maintenance would be simpler than for offshore wind turbines, I guess. You just need to pull them up, instead of climbing up a pole. Maybe you don't even need to service them at high sea but just carry them to shore.

The poster was (to my reading) not connecting them, it was a pure conjunction of A and B: as in, "be open to trust" [good luck] and also "be open to an act of giving" (the poster must have assumed that those unvaccinated are selfish and did not consider the good effect of their vaccination on the rest of society).

Of course, others have retracted trust on observational basis or have found other ways to avoid damaging others.
Another problem with Diablo Immortal is that they gimped the game to allow for people using mobile devices to play it. It's really weird to see a Diablo game where inventory management doesn't play a big role.

Agree wholeheartedly with the Article and will surely read the Book.

The British Royal Family are Leeches sucking the wealth of the Nation and indirectly the life of the hardworking Common Man. They have absolutely nothing to justify their existence in today's times; There is nothing there contributing to the greater good (actual) of the Society. As the article states it is a carefully managed Firm/Corporation with an excellent image building/maintaining team fooling the British Public as to its continued relevance. It is high time they are demoted to nonentities as has happened to Royals in other Countries.

Every British Citizen should read The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude by Étienne de La Boétie and de-legitimize the British Royal "Mafia".
