There are many engines that use existing languages, with Lua being one of the most common scripting languages used by games. However usually when an engine has its own scripting language it is because the existing languages wouldn't fit and/or the custom language can work better with the underlying engine.

For example if a game engine keeps track of asset references, scripts could be themselves assets like any textures, levels, materials, etc and have asset references as literals in the code that the script compiler understands, allowing automatic and precise extraction of asset dependencies the scripts (and the assets that refer to those scripts) can have. This is, e.g. what Blueprint does (BP is just a visual scripting language that uses a graph with a visual editor instead of parsing text to generate an AST but the same idea applies).
Definitely not true for any kind of safe quality tires. Safety means good dry and wet grip, convenience means noise level, and economy means wear.

Wear for anything quality and safe is maximum 40-50k km, the better performing tire the less. Yeah cheap (mostly) chinese crappy unsafe tires will last much more, but its due to them being too hard and have very little grip, especially in wet.

It means difference between being perfectly safe in 120kmh in moderate rain/snow vs being scared shitless that next bend may kill you (and car certainly behaves like that), so you drive 70-80kmh and become an obstacle to others in very low-visibility and high danger situation.

Definitely not worth saving on tires, ever.
I like how this comment just sits here, unceremoniously ignored. Perhaps you're a little too cynical in how you've framed this, but it has a correct central thesis.

The reason most people aren't as bothered by this situation as they "should be" is... things were worse under the old Taxi system for everyone we should have sympathy for.

Uber didn't make everything perfect, but they improved things dramatically.

So sure, let's keep improving things. But if the "anti-Uber" fanatics take down Uber, they won't get an improvement. They'll get the old system back, which was worse for drivers and passengers alike.
I see what you mean now, thank you.

To me, the idea of heads of government each appointing a commissioner is completely in keeping with democratic norms, such as the way ambassadors are appointed to represent their country abroad and in organisations like the UN.

Similarly, many countries choose their judges by appointment rather than direct election, but perhaps a more relevant comparison is the idea of a senate where each state's legislature appoints one or more representatives to send to a federal or confederal body (as was the case in the US before the seventeenth amendment).
Honestly instead of a cookie law I wish GDPR has imposed a rule that required all those stupid interstitial pop-ups to conform to a standard that could be easily blocked by the browser. I mean they are asking for emails, which is a massive and totally unnecessary proliferation of personally identifiable information.

I hate them so much. It makes it feel like so much more of a chore to try to do research or look for things online. I'd honestly prefer 56k page-load speeds if the pages were free of this garbage.
That's probably intentional and a sign that it was a well designed A/B test :)
It sounds like the actors are having hard time pronouncing it, would you agree that it's hard for non-Turkish?
Apple Is Offering $2M USD to Hackers Who Can Exploit Their New Lockdown Feature

> Even on Android we see remote attestation being bypassed quite easily in most apps. Some banks and payment providers are harder to trick, but I don't think there's a version of the system that hasn't been bypassed yet.

It's getting harder by the year. I think it has strangled a lot of the Android ROM and modding community really, how your apps can randomly stop working after an update or two or that you can't watch high-quality content.
> an't imagine the shithole would have chosen to opt-in when the reviews were used to highlight the problems.

Why would you shop at a place who doesn't have reviews? That'd be suspicious. Much like a credit report, retailers won't extend credit to you if you don't have a credit history.
> justifying police killing them

You made that part up.
Right, so incentivize them to stop trying to reduce competition with software locks. If they can provide the same hardware for cheaper by exploiting economies of scale, that's what we should require them to do. That's what capitalism is good at doing. Software locks are anti-competitive.
Crypto primitives – real world use cases for crypto/Web3/DeFi
For me it was minimum wage workers at a Jiffy Lube -- folks that probably don't have much disposable income believing they're going to 10000x their investment and be instarich.

I would say that pricing has a lot to do with the feasibility of taking a taxi.. having just visited India here is my comparison of cost for 1 hour to the airport:

Denmark, using taxi 230 USD, need to call hours in advance.

San Francisco, using Uber 40-50 USD.

India, using Uber 10-20 USD.

In Denmark taxis are so expensive there is few of them, so not only is the crazy expensive, it's very hard to find one when you need it.

Uber did grow the market.
I noticed they are all white people. Does the algorithm have trouble with other skin tones?

That is actually a serious question, and it has nothing to do with the personal bias or motivations of the author.

I was once shown an algorithm for removing red-eye from photos, and noticed that every example they showed, was of drunk white Irish people (usually with light eyes). Turned, out, the library didn't do so well, for other skin tones.

[EDITED TO ADD] I actually enjoyed the heck out of it. Many of the comments, below, explain why it seems that way. Also, it may just be "the luck of the draw." I suspect that most images are from a common demographic, because that was who the photographers that supplied the images, came from. The tech, itself, seems to be quite basic, and is a fun idea.
I don't think they even read what you write for the refund request if its outside of their policy. Either that or they are OK with losing over 1000 EUR in sales and counting over a 7 EUR refund and never bother to respond with anything that doesn't look like an automated message.
What they care about is the market share of the developers that buy Apple devices to develop UNIX applications, and couldn't care less about Linux itself, and are now not happy with the direction macOS is going.

WSL focus on Linux, because the Linux kernel ABI is the new POSIX.
At what point, does a corporation stop being considered corporation and instead be considered a global criminal organization?
Marketers' information would have a known bias that you can mentally correct for.
Many of the comments seem to miss the point entirely -- this post is about how to achieve sufficient decentralization:

> two users can find each other and communicate, even if the rest of the network wants to prevent it

and use centralized methods where it does not compromise on this constraint (e.g. efficiently storing/retrieving data about posts).
There are only 8 hours of downlink time per day. DSN resources are limited and shared among many missions.

Everything was sized based on the expected volume of data that the telescope would be able to take. The instruments only generatedata at a certain rate, and there are inefficiencies involved with slewing between targets. Having a larger recorder or faster downlink would not mean that JWST could take more science data.
All scams are actually denominated in a currency that has actual value. The goal of a scammer is for them to obtain something valuable (US Dollars, say) from their victim and leave their victims with something worthless (a crypto coin, say).
Backed by fiat.

I mean, the US has got some really sharp and explodey fiat, arguably the most fiat fiat in the world. But we stopped pretending it was backed by anything else in the 70s.
Well, that helped. /s

I thought leverage was effectively borrowing on anticipated gains. So I would spend $100 to, get credit to the tune of $10k, then buy my crypto with that. But, here we're talking about people buying a coin and the _seller_ saying the coin is worth 100x and so skipping the step of using fractional reserve to 'create' the funds (the loan amount) to exchange for crypto and just going straight to a deceit.

With leverage there's a debt written to counter the credit, here that doesn't seem to be happening.

So, where am I misunderstand the situation here?
Roguelike has come to mean anything from "permadeath + random" to "top-down turned-based ASCII dungeon-crawler". At least some people stick with "roguelite" when there is permanent progression (e.g. unlocks and powerups between runs) but not always.

Slay the Spire is like Rogue in that you start from scratch and crawl a random dungeon level-by-level and start over if you die. It definitely doesn't look like Rogue, but it's more of a roguelike than many modern "roguelike" games.
You aren't stupid.

Companies love to promote the idea that work is a second family.
It isn't, it's a cut throat place, where even "work friends/family" would throw you under the bus for a promotion or a raise.

You should always keep a distance from coworkers. They could report you to HR for anything even after hours.

Highly recommend reading "Corporate Confidential"
Their workplace is the public street. Of course we should get to decide how they operate.
Switzerland has four official languages, with the English word "Switzerland" having a particular translation to each one. But if you choose a single official name in one of those languages, it is not fair to the others, so in addition an official name in each language, they have an official in a 'neutral' language: Latin.

> Due to its linguistic diversity, Switzerland is known by a variety of native names: Schweiz [ˈʃvaɪts] (German);[note 5] Suisse [sɥis(ə)] (French); Svizzera [ˈzvittsera] (Italian); and Svizra [ˈʒviːtsrɐ, ˈʒviːtsʁɐ] (Romansh).[note 6] On coins and stamps, the Latin name, Confoederatio Helvetica – frequently shortened to "Helvetia" – is used instead of the four national languages.

That's also why the ccTLD of Switzerland is .ch.

What you're seeing may be an 'artifact' of that.
Great insight. Without this approach, A/B testing could be used to generate an infinite stream of meaningless work
There’s something like that in Heinlein’s The Man Who Sold the Moon, after the explosion of a space station and ship; in a company meeting:

—⁂—

“Very well. Now the public relations report—let me call attention to the first item, gentlemen. The vice-president in charge recommends a schedule of annuities, benefits, scholarships and so forth for dependents of the staff of the power satellite and of the pilot of the Charon: see appendix ‘C’.”

A director across from Harriman—Phineas Morgan, chairman of the food trust, Cuisine, Incorporated—protested, “What is this, Ed? Too bad they were killed of course, but we paid them skyhigh wages and carried their insurance to boot. Why the charity?”

Harriman grunted. “Pay it—I so move. It’s peanuts. ‘Do not bind the mouths of the kine who tread the grain.’”

“I wouldn’t call better than nine hundred thousand ‘peanuts,’” protested Morgan.

“Just a minute, gentlemen—” It was the vice-president in charge of public relations, himself a director. “If you’ll look at the breakdown, Mr. Morgan, you will see that eighty-five percent of the appropriation will be used to publicize the gifts.”

Morgan squinted at the figures. “Oh—why didn’t you say so? Well, I suppose the gifts can be considered unavoidable overhead, but it’s a bad precedent.”

“Without them we have nothing to publicize.”

“Yes, but—”

—⁂—

(Harriman then insists on not settling with a woman who gave birth as the satellite blew up and is suing for half a million due to birth defects, saying that in the long run any compromise or settlement would be dearer than fighting it, even with possible bad publicity; and they should buy the judge if necessary.)

I greatly enjoy this story for its keen assessment of the social and business factors to such progress, through its main character Harriman. Indeed, the best science fiction does tend to contain rather a lot of social study.
They probably defer to the UNGEGN[0] which allows countries to submit the official name of their country in various languages. Turkey recently requested to change their official English name[1].

99% is a little extreme. Probably closer to 75/25.

BE bugs tend to be less, but also higher priority. They're more likely to cost money or break things. And so manpower is often as many as all the various FE engineers combined.

Normally double the Android bugs as iOS. Samsung and Xiaomi are primary suspects. Samsung doesn't play nice with hardware while Xiaomi messes with display. Also schizophrenic Android stuff - things always becoming deprecated, some hack that was necessary in an older version suddenly doesn't work in recent versions, permissions and stuff getting stricter.

iOS has its own set of bugs, most of ours coming from SwiftUI.

Web bugs are very frequent and usually unfixable. All over the place - memory management, cached data, tons of SPA related stuff. If you made a hybrid app then you've also stacked on all the weird bugs like back button management and camera access. Every bug that happens to native because of an OS policy change, you have to fix on two layers on hybrid.

If you're counting by weight/story points, then maybe yeah, 99% makes sense on a hybrid app.
I know that feeling. I was on a subway platform when a rando started explaining to me how she was investing in bitcoin mining. She was a real estate agent with no tech knowledge, but somebody she talked to persuaded her to buy and run hardware.

What really scares me is that this was easily 5 years ago now. At the time I too thought "peak bubble". The extent to which this space has metastasized blows me away. Normally a scam dies when the novelty wanes and it runs out of suckers. But the cryptowhatever space has continually generated shiny new illusions for people to pump and dump. I'm now wondering if we've entered the age of the permanent floating scam, where "there's one born every minute" is enough to provide an eternal flow of suckers for an ever-shifting constellation of predators and useful idiots.
Or they are afraid of retaliation and losing their jobs? Amazon hits them with anti-union propaganda from day one. We’ve seen Walmart close locations that plan to unionize.

The Web Is Your Oyster – Knowledge-Intensive NLP Against a Large Web Corpus
One of the great blessings of the roguelike genre, especially in its purer-ASCII expressions, is that the barrier to create a complete and gripping game was considerably lower than games that required lots of art assets, animations, etc. It's a genre born out of the constraints of early computing.
Makes sense for general intelligence though.
Google came up with Dart so they could move away from GWT and now use Dart extensively internal to the company. Why would I want to use GWT and not Dart?
"Remember me in your newsletter list" is the next one. Send me money!
I don't really get your reaction here. The obvious takeaway from that point is a) determining the impact of any given technology is difficult and may take decades to centuries, and b) you should be aware that even IF your assessment of the technology is correct in the long term, you could still lose all of your money by investing in it. It's in no way an endorsement of investing in crypto, and I don't think he's responsible for every conman who will selectively quote him to shill a product.
Because it's a very misinformed opinion. For 1 it isn't arbitrary and it isn't a random person. It is elected officials that set the tax and the price is based on the community budget. Where I live we have high property taxes but we don't complain because we vote for this. We want nice schools, clean parks that are manicured, frequent refuse and recycling service, clean streets, a well staffed police force and fire departments, a fancy 4th of July parade, etc. This stuff isn't free and we choose to fund it with property taxes instead of income taxes, etc.

If you won't or can't pay your tax then you have to sell your property to someone who can. This is what the community that lives in an area agreed on. You can take your house with you though. It's totally up to you to lift it, put it on a truck and put it on a different piece of land, considering the bank doesn't own it. Feel free to find land with no taxes and put your home there.
I had several people with darker skin tones.
They probably just got lost in many design reviews. At the end they couln't "see" the designs anymore. Also their test group was probably biased: They probably used the same guys to review all design iterations, so their opinion developed along with each iteration.
I'm trying to understand why we would have a view other than neutral when it comes to whether people have the ability to spend their own money on impulse items or otherwise.
So basically helping making macOS more relevant than GNU/Linux on the desktop.
And where does this expectation come from?

Usually the abstraction/interface gives you certain guarantees, such as "the data that a query X returns will be the same, no matter of the order of columns". But unless the abstraction makes explicit statements about performance guarantees, you shouldn't assume any.
Domino's also charges a convenience fee on top of your tip for pizza delivery when ordering online. It changes based on your order's volume.

So many business related things simply don't make sense any more.

AB testing is and always has been fish oil for management. The only things it can actually prove, are more easily identifiable by common sense. So wherever it actually works, it was probably a waste of time / overkill for evidence.

I like how the realization is spreading that Uber's mission is not to turn a profit over a new business, but rather to disarticulate unions and normalize low-guarantees and gig-economy to a new generation of workers.

Even if it went ultimately bankrupt, it would be the most breathtaking political success - "reforms" like they like to euphemize - ever achieved by Global Capital.

The local taxis in my town don't seem to every want to take fares. They seem to be eternally waiting for a better offer and grumpy if you try to take what they consider to be a small trip. Never had that issue with Uber drivers.

They do not, at least in this implementation they do not. If you watch the video, pointing finger position is actually preset in the data (by human analysis most likely). Voronoi (it is pronounced with “oy” not “ay” btw) is only used for proximity matching.
My guess is that the location of fingers were manually identified so it’s more an issue of where the photos are sourced from.
I've never used Uber by myself (I think I've used it twice when someone else was organizing transport) as I've heard a lot about exploitation of workers in the beginning so I decided to just not use it.

However, as I dreaded calling a taxi service - I never knew, which taxi service is good/had good prices, it was frequent, that taxi driver would take you long way just so you would pay more, and of course old mercedes which smelled awful was a norm here where I live. Some people talked about how taxis are awful but nothing could be changed.

Just then Uber was introduced here, few months later we have multiple Taxi application, where you see how much you will pay in advance, you can call taxi with ease for exact time. Thanks Uber, you can go now ;)
You won't own anything, and you will be happy (not).

It's amazing how much this works though. I remember getting a call from my mum saying "the website is telling me London is already 78% booked for these dates!"

This is very vague, there's nowhere near enough context for anyone to offer you any solid advice.

False
>>> short_name.lower().encode() ## The i has extra \xcc\x87 here

>>> short_name_lower.lower().encode() ## The i doesn't have the extra here
