Have you read the PS5 TOS[1]? It's pretty restrictive. You aren't allowed to run any unauthorized software on it nor can you reverse engineer the software. Even if you were to avoid touching the OS, there's still the firmware that's covered by this. What you are claiming can't practically be done and AFAIK, nobody is using the PS5 in this way.

I don't think you can say with a straight face that the PS5 is more open than the iPhone. I can point you to a bunch of write-your-first-iOS-app tutorials that you can complete after a relatively small investment of time and money. The app you make can only be given away through Apple's app store but it sounds like that's changing. Sounds like Sony's going to have to change as well.

Edit: I should add, you can also give people your source code and they can compile it and install the executable on their phone. Is there an analogous process on the PS5? AFAIK, individuals can't register as PS5 developers. Only companies with a current domain name can access any PS5 developer info.

Police patrol != stopping people.

And I wouldn't mind. I've been stopped so many times I can't even remember. If I live in high crime area, I'd want the police to patrol often. Wouldn't you?

And high crime areas are already known by police. But it could be interesting to have a model to predict when (other than where) crime will happen. This might optimize the available resources.

Singapore solved the homelessness problem with public ownership of land. It clearly is something systematic about land ownership that encourages people to have more land than they personally need which results in some people having less land than they personally need.

Another answer would be to just move the damn jobs somewhere else.

And what's the right course of action if, for instance, everyone in your team hates using TDD and threatens to resign or switch teams if you attempt to enforce it? Though surely it's more likely that something like "TDD" isn't an either-or proposition, and even if the evidence clearly shows the effectiveness in particular scenarios or when done in a particular manner, its not a given that more TDD is always better, and hence there's still benefit to discussing the pros and cons.

Are you using Unity in 20.04, though?

I am; it is possible, but it is not the default. You have to manually install it. Even upgrading a 16.04 machine to 18.04 removed Unity by default and replaced it with GNOME.
I agree 100%. The question is how to facilitate this collaboration/compromise between developers.

I think the field changes too fast for a vocational curriculum to make more sense then a general CS curriculum, at least for full 4-year degrees. If you are looking for vocational training/validation, then a certificate of some kind makes more sense. After all, if you aren't in it for the academic education, you probably don't want to spend 4 years on it, anyway.

I have to admit though, it took me until about 35 in age to being able to say to myself: “You know, if you don't understand something, it because it’s hard.” Total game changer for my attitude.

Before that I relied a bit on a certain naïveté, as a biologist among physicists I was sometimes called “Stupid biologist”, I guess it helped seeing it as the joke that it probably was for the most part.

So you're claiming that hybrids are bad, if a) people buy a bigger car than they would otherwise, and b) never plug it in.

Is this true, and does it actually happen in numbers we should care about and why do you think it is true? Did some respected environmental group suggest this was bad for the environment?

Or like a comment lower down, do you believe that every government regulation mysteriously has a perfect 180 degree backfire? Which would be fascinating if true, but seems unlikely.

I looked up Greenpeace's take on this:

Short version, Public Transport > BEV > PHEV > HEV > ICE and various non vehicle things should be kept in mind like designing cities around people not cars, supporting auto workers during the transition, ensuring the wider electric grid is decarbonised, reducing the carbon impact of steel manufacturing and mining are all important goals.

They're keen that HEV get phased out at the same time as ICE (no new sales after 2028 in EU) and warn that PHEVs are being overmarketed but still seem to think they're better than ICE alone, but not as good as EVs.

There's no need to rely on fuzzy math from Tesla or Inside EVs. Those comparisons are comically inept.

The base Model 3 now costs $48,490 whereas the Toyota Camry starts at $25,845. The absolute most expensive Toyota Camry trim is the XSE V6 with a sticker price of $36,270.

Edmunds estimates the 5 year total cost of ownership for that Toyota Camry at... $45,211. The cash cost to own that Camry is $45,211 + $36,270 for a total cash cost of $81,481.

Edmunds doesn't have an estimate for a 2022 Model 3, but their 5 year total cost of ownership for a 2020 Model 3 is... $53,660. $48,490 + $53,660 is $102,150.

This is the most absurd and generous (to Tesla) comparison I could possibly make and the Model 3 is 25% more expensive. It's two year old Model 3 compared to the most expensive Camry you can buy.

If I compare base model to base model it just gets comically out of hand. The 5 year total cash cost for a base model Camry is $25,845 + $31,413 for a total cost of $57,258. The Model 3 is 78% more expensive over five years.

You have to really seriously gamify the numbers to come out ahead on any EV. Things such as absurd vehicle comparisons, extending the length well beyond the length that people actually keep their car, discounting or ignoring deprecation, assuming absurd and unrealistic increases in gas, etc.

It really seems like there’s no good non-redhat (but still “production capable”) alternative to CoreOS nowadays, right? It’s pretty much Fedora / Redhat CoreOS or go directly to things such as k3os?
Yeah definitely a double edged sword. So much of the JS ecosystem is crap written by keen beginners who don't know what they're doing.

You might say "so what they're doing it for free, you don't have to use their stuff", but often you do because the existence of a sort-of-working solution means that other people are much less likely to write a robust solution for the same problem. So everyone ends up using the crap one.

Rust and Go are way way better in that regard.

Interestingly, I had almost the opposite reaction. In the absence of information, I don't know how these people got here or why. Maybe they're being executed as criminals, maybe they are suicide attempts, maybe they are truly heinous people in the hands of a Just God.

But, I do know, if it's me on the track, I don't want to die. It's almost the only truly inarguable choice. With everything else, you think you know best for other people. With that one, you just know you don't want to die.

This sounds like Software Security. It's a discipline of information security which covers security and its relation to software and the development that produces it –from minute details such as [1], through abstractions like [2] to architectural [3].

Our infosec tutors regretted that this wasn't mandatory reading for the code-focused computer scientists. Mostly infosec-oriented peers took the subject, who might need it the least.

Security should definitely be promoted with development.

These are legitimate criticisms and some of the only ones I've seen in all these comments.

The only thing I'd say is that as someone using Unity almost every day for a decade now, I've never encountered a single one of them.

I am not saying that they are not real or did not affect you or anyone else. Merely that they are not widespread deal-breaker problems for all users, because I've never noticed a single one of them myself.

> The goal is to build a permissionless and censorship-resistent financial network.

How is this even close to true. There are multiple exchanges right now that have locked up people’s money and don’t allow them to access it.

Cryptocurrency is banned in China and is basically inactive there. How did it evade censorship?

To the extent it’s “censorship proof” in some areas right now is because the censoring entities simply don’t give a shit about it.

Governments that have tried to stop it have found it beyond easy to do so. There are no stories of governments that have tried to control crypto and have failed to do so.

For the obvious reason that crypto is much harder for someone living under an authoritarian regime to get into than just holding US dollars.

I can physically buy US dollars from tourists visiting my country. How do I get Bitcoin? And how do I maintain that Bitcoin. Never mind actually using it…I can give someone else USD without them having to have done any work…but to receive crypto for me, that individual needs to have gone through the same illegal process to setup a crypto account that I have. USD requires only 1 side to have gone through a much easier process to acquire it. Whereas crypto requires both sides to go through it. And it also requires protecting a digital key and internet access to certain sites while your internet is being monitored. I can stick USD under my mattress and carry it in my pocket to someone else’s apartment and then they can stick it under their mattress without even the most repressive govt noticing.

The same cannot be said for crypto.
In the US, passport or biometric ID is now required for all domestic flights and intercity trains. YOUR PAPERS, PLEASE.

Of course it is required in Europe. Where it is not required, you are already known. For example, if you live in Berlin you have no possible hope of getting to Brussels to attend a protest without every movement you make being put into a database.

In America, we do still have one method of transportation which is not entirely watched - if your car doesn't broadcast its GPS location. Of course there are cameras everywhere, but it is possible to visit a lover or a brothel or whatever without being tracked and blackmailed if you take proper precautions. You? You have no hope. Don't ever think about meeting a lover if you want to run for office one day.

The only people who can run for office in a state with no privacy are the people with access to erase their data from the database.

But of course, we should give up this one method of obfuscation of our movement -- because we might be speeding in the car. If we did so we would be in a complete prison.

1997, by then I had helped start two ISPs, one of them used to be a huge BBS. Building a website was not really the problem, tools were up and coming, it seemed like everyone could build a website with a plain text editor, and a lot of people knew HTML.

The biggest challenge (if you did not work at the ISP) was keeping it on 24x7, and registering your DNS. It sure seems like DNS is a lot easier now than before. You had to call NetSol, and there was a multi-step fax-back and forth process to prove who you were to register your DNS. Sometimes it took days. You needed an act of congress to change things afterwards too, and be sure you did not mess up your NS server information. As for keeping it on 24x7, I think our pipes now are better than ever. T1 down? Yes, why yes it is, there is something wrong with the frame relay again. Or someone at the telco changed my dlci. Or the crazy person with the backhoe cut it. Or the router decided to freak for no reason. Or our custom X.25 connector went bad or lost a solder connection.

Good times... :)

Nobody is arguing that JSON is equally as performant as binary formats. What the others are saying is that the amount of JSON in your average lock file should be small enough that parsing it is negligible.

If you were dealing with a multi-gigabyte lock file then it would be a different matter but frankly I agree with their point that parsing a lock file which is only a few KB shouldn’t be a differentiator (and if it is, then the JSON parser is the issue, and fixing that should be the priority rather than changing to a binary format).

Moreover the earlier comment about lock files needing to be human readable is correct. Being able to read, diff and edit them is absolutely a feature worth preserving even if it costs you a fraction of a second in execution time.

The phone flopped in 2014; the desktop and convergence projects weren't cancelled until the HN thread four years later.

IMHO as a Unity user, the phone deserved to flop. It offered no new compelling features. If it had had some big-ticket selling point, like a slide-out hardware keyboard -- something that used to be a widespread feature in smartphones before the iPhone -- then I would have backed it. I did back the Planet Computers Gemini and I have one. It's a lovely device.

But it didn't. To conflate these things is entirely bogus.
