The problem with any of these comparisons is that cities are very heterogeneous. In Boston, the Back Bay != Roxbury and in NYC, the West Village != the South Bronx. However, at least absent a doorman, I probably wouldn't leave a door unlocked or an accessible window ajar the way I routinely do in my (only) semi-rural home in New England. When I visit people in cities, I have to consciously remember that they'll be unhappy if I am casual about such things like I am at home.
It's amusing that you bring up a mogul's "media narrative" and then cite a link from Bloomberg News. Michael Bloomberg is of course also a billionaire with his own empire and media company.

This piece you are citing is from the Opinion section of Bloomberg News. Bloomberg itself being a company whose headquarters are in NYC and whose founder is Mike Bloomberg a NYC resident himself as well as being a 3 term mayor of NYC. The author of this opinion piece, Justin Fox is also a NYC resident. It's worth noting too that Bloomberg LP company famously does not allow remote work and owns the Bloomberg Tower, a 55 story commercial and residential skyscraper that takes up an entire city block in Midtown.

Lastly Bloomberg himself is a polarizing figure since during his long tenure as Mayor he was widely seen as being in bed with big real estate development. His tenure as mayor was notable for the hyper development of luxury real estate. The types of "glass boxes" that are dark most of the year. For more background see:

You would be surprised at how much commercial real estate is vacant in NYC. If that could be converted to housing, it would alleviate a lot of problems.

Also, the way commercial buildings are mortgaged is crazy - major landlords often have 0% down payments (claiming that their ability to attract rental tenants will add 20% equity overnight), and keep the building vacant rather than lowering rents to maintain the "valuation" of the building. Empty units can have their cost tacked on to the end of the mortgage. At some point, the bill comes due, but it takes a long time.
The issue described is wrongly attributed to smart thermostats like Nest and Ecobee.

It's about any dumb thermostat that runs a schedule, so that HVAC kicks in at, say, 6:00 am for thousands of homes and businesses simultaneously.
By the same token you can also see me as more than that characterization, with different reasons for the ones you assume.
js-framework-benchmark is the standard benchmark for UI-heavy, compute-light JS. https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.ht...

To see results, show "vanillajs-1" and "wasm-bindgen", then hide everything else. WASM is about 6% slower, 18% longer startup, and 66% more memory usage.

Note this is a UI benchmark so the results are overwhelmingly dominated by DOM interop. Things should improve if the WASM interface types proposal ever lands.

I acknowledge that this data isn't perfect, but here is one measure of market based expectations of inflation: https://twitter.com/conorsen/status/1546855290913660928.

The market generally factors in a lot of things, it's not looking at 1.5% rates, it's looking at what the fed has effectively committed itself to doing. It's looking at 3% rates by the end of the year.
Look, I'm as pro-urbanism as any online nerd. I don't own a car and I bike everywhere. But nobody has a fucking moral obligation to live in NYC and dump all their paycheque into their landlord's pocket, so they can "save the planet". That's just insane. Batshit crazy. You sound like Pol Pot in reverse.
Move to SF. Having lived here and Manhattan I think many of the things you like about NY are present here. Just don't listen to the headlines.
Err, they follow the money. Put the money somewhere else and (young) workers will go to wherever it moves to. Today, it's ads and tracking. In the 60's, it might have been engineering - but there was no social networking alternatives so the judgement is biased to a degree.

Fair enough. Still a nontrivial process for me to get any USDC.
If you think you might want an XPan, spend eighty bucks on a Lomography Sprocket Rocket and see if 24x72 is really a way you want to make photographs.

You see, the thing about the sprocket rocket is it comes with an insert to mask the sprocket holes...well and the other thing is you won't worry about dropping it because it is both cheap and rugged enough to survive three feet onto concrete and lacking electronics falling into the stream adding foreground interest to your volcanic Iceland panorama.

Plus it weighs nothing.

I ain't saying it is as good an Xpan, but if sharpness is the most interesting part of your pictures, it will be the cure.

And with all the money you'll save you can book a nice trip to Iceland.

Making games is both an Art and a Business, and it always has been this way, but the F2P model, especially on mobile, tends to put heavy constraints on the game structure, transforming it into a time sink, engineered to keep you inside for as long as possible. (what they call Engagement and Game As A Service)
In principle I don’t entirely disagree that the pendulum has swung way too far towards monetization and away from pure vision in video game design, but it’s funny you mention chefs not compromising…the restaurant business is notoriously low margin and very many new restaurants fail quickly.

One of the more common reasons is that inexperienced owners don’t understand their food costs and therefore design delicious, lovely menu items that actually lose money when you calculate everything that goes into them. If you want it to be more than a brief experiment, you gotta get the spreadsheets out at some point…

> Also, people in rural areas driving drunk is mostly due to lack of transportation options. I'm certainly not condoning it, but Uber doesn't travel out into the sticks and there is no bus or train to hop on.

I don’t think that refutes their point that they don’t care. Having come from a rural area myself, the decision was to drink at home or a friends I was staying over at rather than drive drunk. They don’t care about the consequences compared to doing what they want
>but there's never disclaimer that the video is staged or a skit.

This is where working in the entertainment industry has jaded me a bit. By default, I assume that if it captured on camera, it has been planned/staged/etc for the explicit purpose of being shown to people. With social media, I think it has been turned up to an 11 as everyone is trying to become social media famous. It takes a bit of convincing for me to believe that something is truly real at this point.

Due to the "inside baseball" knowledge of how fake everything is on film/TV, I find it sad that so so many people fall for thinking something is real and actually needs this kind of disclaimer.
I think he says "the biggest fucking idiots" in the way some of us say, "aren't thinking of all the angles".

I'm not talking "as if" you lack empathy, I logically justified why such actions are lacking in empathy, you're just ignoring the clear justifications I gave. Even with the understanding of why others have different standards (which you falsely claim I lack), it still wouldn't justify suppressing the warning I gave. For reasons I gave three times already.
There should be some easy way to report the content with proof that your the main subject of a video, and unless the creator proves concent the victim gets any and all proceeds plus a “publicity” fee.

Templates are nice, but they have shortcomings a more generic macro system wouldn't. They also have the issue where the more complex is your task, the more convoluted the code has to look, compilation times also increase and parsers (ergo, IDEs too) have trouble giving meaningful info on parameters. Don't even get me started on template errors because that's an atrocity on another level :(

The only real FUD that has any basis is 1) The lack of good 3D support and 2) DOTS style architecture. These are things the community is addressing now for future releases.

The 3D support will be significantly overhauled in 4.x https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNJXkcQxXEg and additional enhancements will reduce the need for DOTS/ECS for many. There's also Godex https://github.com/GodotECS/godex that adds ECS to the engine.
Lot of them fail to get traction also because they're bad. A small part because they're unlucky, too niche or other reason.

Still, with so many game out every day, it's also hard to keep track of everything. I should engage with my family (children and wife), do sport, work, learn to improve and be more efficient, see my friends, keep a healthy diet and sleep 10h every night... That's without speaking of the need to publish to be seen and heard.

So no, I won't engage with all the small games. No one will.

I probably could have phrased that better. In any case I don't think what we're saying is incompatible. One has no choice but to keep up with the cost of living. My point is that the cost of living in a massively "central" city is defined by a lot of people driven to succeed and be seen succeeding, whether or not that's the mentality of one's group of friends.
If people want to know about financial crime (and regulatory dysfunction) in the US, I absolutely second Markopolos's book with no caveats. It's a bit technical but deserves to be more widely read.

I typically recommend Browder's book with the caveat that he comes off as promotional and I think he exaggerates and makes stuff up in the first half when he was doing relatively tame things like being a consultant. This is unnecessary and hurts credibility somewhat later. However, the book is worth reading because there are extremely good insights in the latter half -- e.g. how he in effect was doing Putin's dirty work in the late 90s / early 2000s by publishing and documenting malfeasance of oligarch companies (short theses) which weakened many oligarchs and helped Putin's position vs them. Once Putin had enough clout he took down Khordokovsky; at this point, someone who pushes transparency (Browder) becomes a hindrance to the Kremlin, and things go downhill from there.
Neat! I wonder if the absorption method could be used for my favorite unsolved graph theory problem. The 'tree packing problem,' which goes like this:

In my left hand, I have a complete graph on N vertices, which has N-choose-2 edges. In my right hand, I have a collection of trees on 1, 2, 3, ..., N vertices. We may observe that my right hand also contains N-choose-2 edges. So the question: Can I 'pack' the trees into the complete graph so that no edges overlap?

In practice, it's pretty easy to pack any particular set of trees, yet hard to prove that it's always possible. There's lots of special cases proven, but (last I checked) no general proof.
Afaik BBB has this feature since at least last year. It shows a room admin the time each participant talked etc. While it was intended for classrooms, I.e. participation in online classes by students, it should cover the same aspect here.
It’s a trade-off for me. There is value in being visible to recruiters, but I’m not too comfortable with so much of my personal information being available for easy perusal.
I've also hit this issue. About a year ago I made an effort to use blink, but after a bit of work I recall essentially discovering that any support was effectively abandoned. I wish they would remove the note in the FAQ about supporting multiple engines, as it doesn't seem to be the case.

Pump oxygen and whatever bottleneck nutrient in and harvest algae. You’ll clean the excess nutrients out of the water and sink carbon at same time.

Articles like this all read the same way. Sure he can frame his student as some kind of expert, but clearly if she is referencing youtube videos about price action in crypto she doesn't really have an understanding worth framing your criticism around. For all of these articles, it feels everyone's idea of crypto does not extend beyond dunking on stuff dumb retail meme traders (who have no idea what is going on) say on twitter instead of the people actually building the technology. I'm not even an expert but even I can see the way everyone approaches it in such poor faith is like building a caricature of what they think crypto is to justify their feelings towards it.

I'm not saying don't charge what is necessary. I'm saying monetization shouldn't be part of the experience you are creating.
Thanks for correcting me, I was completely off on that! I realized after your post that I was thinking of transubstantiation instead of sacrament/ordinance. I'm Baptist and both in the 1689 confession [1] and the baptist faith and message 2000 [2] it's considered an ordinance, so most southern baptist churches to my knowledge consider it an ordinance, even those that are reformed-leaning. There are also other non-mainline denominations, probably mostly non-reformed, where it's usually an ordinance, such as Pentecostalism.

My confusion was that I was equating transubstantiation with it being a sacrament...so to my knowledge only Anglicans have preserved full transubstantiation (with others having some mixture of Christ being present)

[1] https://www.arbca.com/1689-chapter30 [2] https://bfm.sbc.net/bfm2000/#vii

I think it's safe to say that in almost all protestant denominations, the Eucharist is not a means of salvation though. I would hope that all would say salvation is through grace alone through faith alone. Let me know if you disagree though, I'd be curious of exceptions.

Isn't a "text gui" simply a text user interface?

The use of tools like Finicky (https://github.com/johnste/finicky) have made it pretty easy for me segregate certain workloads to certain browsers (as long as the links are opened from outside of the current browser).

Safari is my daily driver, but I only take Google Meet meetings in Chrome and Teams meetings in Edge. I’ve also forced certain JIRA URLs to different browsers (Firefox or Edge, depending), because I have to be logged in as particular users for them.

I rarely use other browsers for anything else, but will occasionally test things in them—but using the separate browsers has been really good for segregating certain classes of work.

I mean, like it or not, it kinda sounds like this is the guy who should be in charge of Unity. Strong leaders are willing to tell people things they don't want to hear. Weak leaders regurgitate PR and marketing softball garbage and have no vision. To him, with all the data and knowledge he has, it's probably night and day obvious the difference in sustainability between studios that incorporate a recurring revenue model and those that don't. I don't think he's saying "no game should ever not have micro-transactions". I think he's saying "in this day an age, if you're serious about building a sustainable studio, growing to the type of success fledgling studios imagine, and leveraging the Unit platform to help you do it, you're gonna need some recurring revenue component somewhere in your portfolio and that's why we have invested in tools to make that easier for people".

They're suggesting caring less is the primary reason for rural people driving drunk. The primary reason is a lack of transportation options. Caring less is a byproduct of that, not the reason they do it in the first place.

This is mostly a cultural problem.

Some professions will readily say "imma keep my mouth shut because this is not my area of expertise" whereas every software engineer is a subject matter on everything up to and including open ended and subjective questions that humans have been trying to conclusively answer all of history. (The various types of mechanical engineers are nearly as bad.)

One could argue that the cultural problem is just a reflection of a demographics problem but I don't care enough about that aspect to make that argument.

As an aside, the failure in TFA doesn't sound that dramatic. Seems like the age old tale of a customer running material handling equipment at the edge of it's comfortable range and an tech needing to be flown out to tell them where to slap vibrators on it or what other minor change needed to be made in order to make it work better. Yeah, they probably should have seen this coming and shipped a more flexible solution or at least have had shovel ready options that didn't involve flying engineers out but whatever, it's a prototype and this stuff happens.
