Blood on the Clocktower. It's a recently released social deduction game (similar to Avalon and Werewolf) that has nearly unlimited setup combinations and presents a different puzzle every game. Players are allowed to continue playing until the end of the game, even after being "voted out," and every player is given some measure of agency via unique character roles.

You made the initial claim. Georgelemental asked you for evidence. The burden of proof is on you, the maker of the initial claim.

And, Georgelemental clearly labeled what he said as his "perception". It seems a bit unreasonable to ask for a source for something as weak as a perception. (And, adding more question marks doesn't make it any more reasonable.)
Strategic Oil Reserves Emptying Fast
I like how something that used to be a trick for hiding draw distance limitations has become a rendering engine selling point, heh
The reasoning seems fair. As a driver of a 90's shitbox I gotta say, SUVs greatly impair overall visibility for other drivers. And since every automaker started to make rear windows smaller, the problem is exacerbated.
I don't think the argument that the mere existence of clients that work differently ruin the modern features somehow is really that fair (see below). The bouncer argument is kinda fair, but if you also don't like to live in a walled gardens (slack or discord), it limits the options a lot (although there are IRC servers that have integrated bouncers! Matrix is kinda like running your own bouncer again, unless you are ok with a third-party running it for you).
I can also accept that there are many more non-modern IRC clients than modern ones that work the way you would expect, so the overall expectation would be biased.
And that probably it was too little too late.

But I think you are overthinking it by a lot. If you were to use IRC, you should just use a modern "magical" IRC clients and not worry about what happens in the background (and btw it's not just "could" but "does".. there are clients that do all that already - where you can just drag and drop stuff in and it will magically do the right thing). And I am willing to bet that in other instances you already do operate that way. Unless your mail client is very broken it will send a plain text version of your email along with the html email. Do you worry there too that I am actually just looking at the plain text version of your email and not with the intended html formatting?
Or do you worry that the person you are talking to on slack might just be connected via matterircd via IRC (or directly via IRC back before slack did the bait 'n switch) and not see any of your snippets, images, etc.? Which btw. I am totally doing despite how much it butchers everything - I just cannot stand that UI (and neither can my rather old laptop).
btw it is worth mentioning for those interested that a German guy recently cloned the old myspace: https://spacehey.com/
But it’s reasonable to question the usefulness of any supposed insights gained from thinking through one’s answers to the trolley problem. It’s quite conceivable that no insights can be extended at all to any scenario in the real world.
I would expect this microbenchpark in particular to be as fast in LuaJIT as it would be in C, without the risk of undefined behavior if the array boundaries are improperly calculated.
> No, setting an agenda is a way to give people a chance to prepare for a meeting and to keep the meeting on track. A meeting with an agenda sent out ahead of time is far more efficient than a meeting where people just show up and think of things to chat about.

I go so far as to reject meetings that don't have an agenda specified. Either that, or (if I'm feeling generous) reply to the meeting invite with a "Maybe" and ask specifically for an agenda.
Same here. I grew up knowing some very shady people. Some of the stuff could easily be turned into books or a script for a movie.
You're morally responsible, but it's a different degree of moral responsibility compared to throwing said child into the pond.
Nice read. I'm looking forward to try out a bunch of those things. But my favourite part is the SOCKS proxy. It reminds me of simpler times, when we used this to freely use the schools wifi, which had an overly restrictive web proxy.
This is very cool.

What’s your take on xytiol gums? Think they’re effective in changing our oral microdiome for the better?
I think you need to put away the pipe, this is Apple saying "we can't make JIT work safely so here's an option to turn it off".
If performance is relevant to you, Python is the wrong language for you.
"Do Nothing"
No, you have to click button to do nothing(two levers), this is an incorrect demo, it should have had a timer or something similar(so "doing nothing" would e synonymous with doing nothing).

Since our trolley is at rest, I pose that the best choice is to do nothing(really nothing,not the lever marked "do nothing") so it never runs over anyone.

I pressed "do nothing" twice before I realized this, so you can rightly call me a fool.
Zpaqfranz: Advanced and compatible fork of ZPAQ 7.15
The key wording is "optimized C".

CPython is already executed in pure C, the only difference it being a very slow, unoptimized C.

The code for simple adding of two numbers is insane. It jumps through enough hoops to make you wonder how is it even running everything else.
Probably some of them! I would be willing to bet that a lot of the "number go up" reward in our brains is especially rewarding when we feel trapped in a job/life without notable accomplishments.

That is, if you don't have the time or energy to take on fulfilling creative projects, you can at least fake the sense of accomplishment with video games.
Being able to copy/paste is an important option that empowers users.

Being able to selectively defeat copy paste is an additional option that additionally empowers users.

I don't anticipate this tool being used very widely. If it became the default, I would have a problem with it for the reasons you highlight, among others.
this is true. its also the case that the various 'business' people have very different goals, very different terminology, and a much squishier sense of success.

alot of the 'business' conversation is carried out largely in subtext. you can learn quite a bit about the internal machinery of the company where you work by just learning to read that.

there _is_ quite a bit of useless sleeze on the business side. but to believe all of it is, and that somehow you have a better view of inter organization struggle and market response than all of those who do it full time is naive and counterproductive.
Everest uses biometrics to tie your information to your wallet. The tech is actually pretty cool in my opinion - they have the Everest ID coin itself, but I am more interested in the identity management part of it.

I'm not sure I'm 100% on board, but the tech is really interesting and their approach to privacy seems much better than I would expect from an offering like that. The aim is to be able to offer Know Your Customer using their identity platform to a mulititude of services.

Everest.org is their site
I don't understand. Having those 3 quirky HTML tags is fine, but can users add other tags? How do they go about doing that? Can they enter the React definition of those tags somewhere on their site's configuration? Or in the page? Or install them from a marketplace, like the Sticker Packs of some apps?

Right now this reads as "content platforms today don't let you enter code, so publish with us we don't allow code but we have confetti".
Agree. But it doesn't reward bad players (e.g. over-bidding centrals, or not paying attention to the map expansion costs), just don't destroy them in the first rounds so they feel they are dragging the remaining game. Everybody feels the illusion they can win until the last couple of rounds, but only if you played well you win. Only after you lose you rethink your mistakes and how to avoid then in the next game, which makes you want "revenge" instead of hating the game.
I actually added them to my "spammy recruiters" Sieve rule because I was getting so many. The combination of these rules catches a LOT of recruiter spam; most importantly, it seems that most of the recruiters that configure their tooling to automatically nag 3 times (once per week) use one of these packages, so I get to ignore them as well.

Filtering ant.amazon.com keeps order emails and such while discarding any mail sent from recruiters (though it would likely also filter mail from non-recruiters if you actually correspond with someone at Amazon).

if anyof (
body :text :contains "znsrc.com",

) {

The expressions are dynamic, so they have to be evaluated every time.

Python is excessively dynamic, so it can't (conventionally) be sped up as easily as many other languages unfortunately. Finally some folks are being paid and allowed to be working on it.
Wasn't the hugest reason that they stopped allowing people to write their own code in myspace and made it into something nobody uses anymore was because you could do code injection attacks on it?

I have the 13” model at home and the 16” at work. My work computer runs hot and slow, but that seems to be attributable largely to (or at least confounded by) corporate malware (falcond in particular IIRC).
I compared the 14" Pro to the M2 Air and here's how it looks to me:

MBP 14 base M1 Pro, 32G ram, 512hd = $2400.
MBA upgraded M2, 24G ram, 512hd = $1900.

Note the Air is almost a pound lighter!
When you overwhelm people with confusion and get them asking questions like this, they use neither.
You should not change lanes unless it is safe to do so. The car should let off the gas, put on hazards and try to move to the side of the road. I am with the other engineers, the trolley problem does not apply here. Why waste effort deciding who lives and who dies when more time can be spent figuring out how to handle these situations safely?
Before the meeting starts I confirm there is an agenda present, and ask the organizer to provide one if it's missing, and skip the meeting if no agenda is provided

I also usually ask at minute zero for the organizer to state the desired outcome of the meeting

I drop if I am not providing or gaining value
If you play the "heavyweight" games listed in other comments, there's generally also a need for "filler" board games that are much shorter and useful when someone has yet to arrive or it's getting too late for another full longer game.

King of Tokyo (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/70323/king-tokyo) and Tiny Epic Galaxies (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/163967/tiny-epic-galaxie...) come to mind.

Also, Guards of Atlantis (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/172965/guards-atlantis-t...) was interesting as a team-vs-team game conceptually similar to computer games like DotA or League of Legends.
If you start riots or literally murder someone because of some junk you saw in a short video, maybe the video isn't the problem.
Authentication/sso, logging, metrics, persisted data stores (ie. sql server), caches (ie. redis), events, workflows and few others are all well known, understood, isolated behaviors with good implementations that doesn't need to be embedded/reinvented - it can and in many cases should run separately to your core service/s. It doesn't imply microservices in any way.
> It would be great to have a regular process to delete old data if you don’t need it for business purposes, and this is hard to do because you could develop an innovative way to add customer value using the old data you don’t know of today.

It is not "hard to do" just because you would like not to do it. This is the first step you should be taking, not faffing around with international corporate registrations and encryption to create weak protection for data that you shouldn't have in the first place.
Dude 10+ applications is nothing.
8GB results in lots of swapping with the SSD which greatly shortens SSD lifespan. That alone was reason enough to have 16GB.

I have an air for work with 16GB and frequently bump up against the amount of memory. I'm currently just waiting on reviews to decide between a 24GB Air and a 32GB Pro.
Sure, not all bureaucracy is misused, it can have a good function in governance. But it absolutely can be used to extend and protect power as well. It is a tool, plain and simple.
> I'm sorry if you inferred I thought your posts were inappropriate here. I do not think such, and it is not my intent.

Thank you for the clarification. When I try to discuss these ideas I feel like you respond, without asking what I have been doing to pursue this, by saying "go and start one then" "it's not illegal" "go find other people to talk to about this then", which feels very much like you do not think that is exactly what I am doing when discussing it here. It feels like you think I need to be somewhere else to be doing that. And it feels rude that you tell me to go and start one without understanding that I am laying the groundwork in my own life to be able to do something unprofitable indefinitely (my collective will be a non-profit collective). I cannot just quit my job and do that tomorrow, but I have been working very hard for years to arrange my life appropriately to follow that pursuit, and I have made great progress. Already I am getting several hundred dollars in donations to my non profit. Not enough to live off of, but I continue to produce youtube videos promoting my non profit engineering. Your comment of "go and start one then" feels very dismissive.

> Have you heard from any?

From like minded people? Yes! My generation is extremely interested in libertarian leftist ideas. In providing for everyone regardless of the market value of their skills. I run two small youtube channels where I promote these ideas, though there are many very large channels with millions of subscribers who talk about them with more skill than I can, as most of my time is dedicated to my non profit engineering organization.

I am glad we agree on copyright and patents. I too have a few patents but would prefer we dispense with patent laws. And I release everything of mine under permissive open source licenses.
Thanks for the rec
The last few weeks have been really bad. I get 3-4 obvious spam emails a week now where I would maybe get 1 every 6 months prior.
I bought such machines in an academic high performance computing center a few years ago, with similar budget. Here are a few thoughts:

- You definetly want to do rack mount. It is more extensible and future proof.

- You will get a server grade mainboard which features industry standards such as IPMI remote managament, redundant power supplies or SAS (which allows for extending hard drives, for instance).

- You should probably put as many RAM into this machine in this machine as you can afford, since this will be a limiting factor, especially if you do "all at the same time"

- With your budget, you can consider buying a few less powerful compute nodes (think of 5k-10k per node) which can be more suitable if you divide the computer to multiple users.

[edit:formatting]
This is false equivalence. What should have happened is someone with two brain cells, and we know Police specifically filters those candidates out (https://abcnews.go.com/US/court-oks-barring-high-iqs-cops/st...), used google images to identify unknown object in a couple of minutes.
Does Adobe Acrobat really that bad? We use Acrobat Pro because it easy to modify pdf file with it. Other software can't do that much. Is there other pdf 'editor' that you can recommend?
If you think the terms might be nonsense, test it. Say you've struggled to understand, and press them to define what they really mean. They genuinely don't know fairly often.

My first job was at a telecom equipment company. The head of engineering listed out a bunch of acronyms as what we'd be working on in the next year, and emphasized how critical it was we "followed the plan". I raised my hand and asked what a random acronym was, and I got "I have no idea". I started periodically asking after that.
I think a half your problems would be solved if you asked about those terms outside of that meeting. Ask someone technical - more senior to you but close in ranks. If you wont understand answer, ask "what exactly that means? It is too abstract for me, can you show it to me in our app?" or "what does it mean practically" or something similar.

To add, this happens because you are not learning about what is going on outside of those meetings. The confusion in the meeting is just consequence.
I'm having fun with Gemini exactly because it's so dumbed down that you can't do anything more than publish text

It's still very niche, but it's growing and the protocol is so simple that I'm writing software for it, specifically a multi platform browser (more like a viewer?)
> If the response to increased crime in poor areas is a 35% decrease in enforcement, as the paper claims, this will be obvious in simple plots of crime and enforcement over time in those areas.

Will it? Are you looking at reported crimes or investigated crimes? If the cops never show up do people stop calling? I’m not sure how a simple plot tells the whole story here.

I would not be surprised. It is highly likely that the optimizations will be taken, credit will go to the usual people and the GIL part will be extinguished.

Here's one you can buy, a replacement part for some old equipment.[2] Look at the large version of the picture. You can clearly see the stitching of the original cloth.

Composite materials, the early years. Composites are something long and thin with good tensile strength, combined with something strong but possibly brittle with good compressive strength. Probably the earliest composite was bricks with straw.

Yeah but... here we are. In the US at least, I don't see this ever being addressed at the root. Everything between the user and the phone service is at least somewhat malleable, what's the problem with at least trying in one of those places?

Better security, more features, more privacy, and more user control in general are significant reasons to choose Android.
How easy is it, in practice, for a nation state level authority to add a root certificate to people's devices?

Adding letsencrypt to my personal server made me realize that if I'm MITM'd by a proxy, the padlock still shows up; merely clicking on it and going down a couple of menu levels (in Chrome "Connection is secure -> Certificate is valid" will reveal that the MITM proxy's root certificate is in use.

If an employer can do this to its laptops, and presumably a cell phone maker to the cell phones it sells, just much protection does https really give you against a nation state level propaganda machine?
recently stumbled across some new tshirts at academy (sports store), their BCG brand new t-shirts are nice, price is great, and found that the XL and 2XL are longer (much better!) than the Hanes XLTs I've been getting, and just as good as the hanes black label ones that I've found to be a decent length.

I can only guess these are subsidized by the gov/bus investment initiatives in central Americas..

Yes, out of all the things that can be mentioned _that's_ the one OP chooses to fixate on.
> I didn’t say that, don’t make assumptions.

In that case I don't really understand why you had to ask who says that.

> I haven’t heard a lot of people saying any and all optimization is bad, even after profiling. That’s just completely and utterly silly and now I know you agree and know it too.

After profiling is too soon. The right time is when you're in deep trouble and can't explain your way out any more. Again, not really my opinion but I've encountered this a bit too many times.
If you are a US Citizen or Permanent Resident, Border Patrol cannot prevent you from entering the United States. They can, however, detain you for up to 72 hours and confiscate the locked device if they have "reasonable suspicion". The confiscated property will be returned eventually.

https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/documents/inspection...

If you are not a US citizen, refusal to unlock a phone and allow inspection, inclusive of allowing access to social media and corporate apps, will probably result in denied entry. They also have the right to detain you until indefinitely until you unlock the phone if they have "reasonable suspicion", but requires a court order within 72 hours.

Most foreign counties have similar rules in place for residents and non-residents.
Maybe because there are very little real world cases when they're better than alternatives?
Based on post, those sentences had actual meaning and OP just did not understood. Take multichannel thing - it was real existing functionality. OP just had no idea what it refers to.

But: The one big question I have with elevator UX is this: why isn’t it possible to deselect a choice? So pressed 10th floor but wanted 11th. There is no way to press button 10 and then button 11 to correct that mistake.

Will I ever solve this mystery?
The right move would be to have separate work / production computers, where the production system requires 2FA, and the finanical production system requres 3FA.

Agreed - from what I can see this is an enabler for adding new features later (e.g. 4.1 or whatever). There seem to be a few nice things though - e.g. temporal anti aliasing and this fog etc. Some features/fixes from 4 are being backported to 3.x, but I am not sure if there is any stringent rationale for what gets backported and what doesn't.

Looking forward to the v4 release! Good luck to all involved.
