Just because there are 89 million macs out there doesn't mean there are 89 million mac gamers out there. If you've got the money to buy a mac, you've probably got the money to buy a games console for your gaming needs.

Macs just aren't a popular gaming platform. I'm sure there's a vicious cycle there about how the lack of games cause a lack of gamers, but still.

Steam publishes their hardware survey. About 2.45% of Steam installs are on Mac. 58% of those users are still on Intel. With 5-10% of OS market share that means that mac users are twice to four times less likely to want to game compared to Windows users, and most PCs in the world definitely don't run Steam.

There's also the performance problem: Macs come with high resolution displays and comparatively bad GPUs. The Intel Iris GPUs aren't bad, but they're no gamer powerhouse. The ARM chips are a lot better, but they're still crushed by any dedicated GPU in most similarly priced computers, especially in laptops. Their excellent AI+transcoding support blowing PC out of the water doesn't help when you want to render a game.

My expectation would be that a port of modern Skyrim (the re-release with signiciant bumps to the graphics) would result in a stuttery mess on most Apple users with an interest in gaming. I'm sure the original release would play fine, but giving Mac users the inferior version probably wouldn't go down well. Yes, the new Macs have been demoed to show some very graphically intense games, but if their Tomb Raider demo was anything to go by, the graphical fidelity of the new models still leaves much to be desired, especially for such an expensive device.

Lastly, there's the fact that Microsoft bought Bethesda. They've been working hard at making Xbox Game Pass a thing, unifying Windows and Xbox where they can. With the absolute defeat in performance per watt that Apple brought to the desktop space, I think it would only hurt Microsoft to invest time into making Mac a more viable gaming ecosystem. They can't ignore the gaming market when it comes to the PS5 or Switch, but why invest in bringing a new competitor to the market?

I know Skyrim has been ported to pretty much any device, but with the small amounts of Mac gamers, the relatively slow GPU in most Macs, and the whole OpenGL/Metal situation, I don't see how it would make sense for Bethesda to ship Skyrim to Mac.
Your first responsibility is to protect your children from external threats, if you give them all the privacy in the world you won't be able to do that, so you need to somehow know what they're doing which means either an internet blocker or little privacy, both of which I'm fine with.

I hope everyone enjoyed the generation (1995-2022) of abnormally low rates, you won't be seeing that again

How did we avoid inflation for so long during this low-rate regime? In 1870 we had the same issue - deflation in the face of money creation...the industrial revolution was happening at the same time which ate up all the money in productivity gains.

For our era, it was China. Chinese manufacturing kept things cheap even as we printed and printed. That's over too.

Get ready to be poorer, there is no alternative scenario...Americans are just going to be poorer.

> I wonder what sort of strange centrist form of government might be able to strike a balance between our need for comfort and our need for adventure.

Any government that will satisfy my need of adventure and struggle in colonising the solar system and exploiting the endless amounts of resources it has and harnessing the virtually unlimited energy of our star will have my vote.

But people prefer tribal adventures and struggles and here we are debating the very risk of an ideology promoted by a half testicled man 100 years ago making a comeback.

Why dont we just struggle for the greater good instead of all this pettiness is beyond me.

Anyway crazy comment on my part but i think we are wasting time as a species on petty crap.
Or, as another example, try processing a file of hexadecimal numbers in POSIX standard Awk.

Another one: a few months ago I wrote an Awk function which can increment an alphanumeric string, like "A0Z" -> "A1A" -> "A1B" ...

I had to write a BEGIN block which populates global hashes for looking up the successor of a character, and whether it wraps around in its class. By character, I mean string of length 1, of course; there are no characters in Awk.
I inferred from the comment I was replying to that the commenter was disappointed to have forgotten this particular information. You can’t regret forgetting something while also considering it irrelevant garbage.
I think he highlights some fundamentally toxic aspects of human nature with this bit:

“The Socialist who finds his children playing with soldiers is usually upset, but he is never able to think of a substitute for the tin soldiers; tin pacifists somehow won’t do.”

The engineer in me wishes we could substitute the soldiers with construction workers or something, but I can’t deny enjoying war games growing up. These days “peace games” like Stardew Valley are more appealing to me, but maybe I’ma little odd.
The military is a bit different - when you enlist, you're basically giving your body to the U.S. government for a period of time. It's one of the only situations where you can be legally required to throw your body into harm's way. Whether that's running into a room where there are guys with guns drawn, or taking an experimental vaccine, the laws on this are long-settled.

Of course, the people who were forced to do all these unfortunate things should have godtier medical care for life, and the V.A.'s performance has been an absolute disgrace.

>aspiring elites who viewed themselves as oppressed losers out of a misguided sense of entitlement.

Yep, sounds like the disaffected white males who kill others or themselves in droves, despite often having better conditions than (less aspirant/entitled) non-white males.
No, what I'm saying is that it's easy to pretend this isn't a problem that affects you if you aren't regularly engaging in the kind of routine activity that is now being labeled "murder". What was routine lifesaving medical care for you yesterday is now being described by political religious fanatics as infanticide. This was background noise in the past because their point of view was not supported by the law. Now it is and I fully expect them to use their newfound power to oppress women seeking lifesaving medical care.

Maybe you think that is insane, but a lot of people thought a 10 year old living in a state that would force her to give birth was so insane it must be fake news. Or that it's insane a doctor would be investigated for helping a 10 year old receive lifesaving medical care she required. But here we are. Your threat assessment is outmoded by recent events.

I can think of no group more dangerous than religious fanatics bent on protecting "innocents" in the name of God.
There are a lot of white males in this thread who take the lack of diversity in tech so personally.

I'm not fond of this implicit prejudice in assuming your "white male" has not lead a diverse life. Its the same crap that gets the kid who grew up on the reservation a major set of disadvantages for their whole life because people only look at other people's skin and have no clue what path they have walked for their whole life. I keep thinking these skin-judgers don't know much about the human experience.

The only cure for getting more diversity in technology is to change our elementary schools so they have more diversity in teachers so children get a broader view of STEM. Everything else is ignoring the problem because people like the current female / male ratio in elementary teachers.
Yes, but the same applies to pretty much any country with agricultural food animals.
The DOT almost certainly tracks "real" delivery drivers (think: semi trucks, etc), but who knows how much gets reported from fly-by-night outfits like Uber and Doordash.

Usually less than a dozen, though I don’t quite see the relevance. I use MRU to switch between two to four (rarely more) related tabs.

In code editors I often have several dozens of tabs open, and MRU is a crucial usability feature when coding, so I’d say that its usefulness is independent of the number of open tabs.

The counterpoint is that regional support for the Nazis generally indicates the opposite. Their weakest electoral performance was in the West and South, which generally was the wealthiest and most liberal part of Germany. By contrast their base of support was the Prussian hinterlands which was already the most militaristic part of the country to begin with, as well as having a weak region economy.

I think it’s under-appreciated how much the rise of the Nazis was a direct result of Germany’s loss in World War One. It’s hard to overstate how central the prestige of the military was to the national consciousness of the German Empire. The failure of the military was largely internalized as a failure of German culture itself.

The Nazis offered a do-over, revisionist view of World War One, and a promise to restore Germany’s traditional militaristic prestige. (Not to mention being directly astroturfed by the old guard of the General Staff.) German liberals were more than happy with “comfort and safety”. It was the traditionalists stuck in the pre-liberal past that dragged the country into “struggle and self-sacrifice”

Oh me too, I love when a tool solves problems I didn't even know I had, until I have them, I look for a solution, and poof Vim (or whatever) has already solved it in a coherent way.

If every tool were like that that would be one kind of world, but we live in one that's more interesting. There's some Mark Twain quite like "the world owes you nothing; it was here first", or maybe the Buddha saying "it's harder to soften the earth than it is to wear sandals". I like to think that sandal-making is a core engineering skill, whether you're a carpenter or a computer engineer.

"Where is there more livestock than people?"

Earth.
Alternatively it’s a manufactured problem, designed to require the goal of halving the livestock.
it might be a start to actually archieve "comfort, safety, short working-hours, hygiene, birth-control and, in general, common sense" for all. Then we can see if they still want struggle and self-sacrifice.

There may be some dispositions of the human mind that are susceptible to this sort of thing, but for now, I find it somewhat remarkable that this supposed need for struggle and self sacrifice is almost always employed by classes in power to keep lower classes at bay. Hitler is no exception:

> He had crushed the German labour movement, and for that the property-owning classes were willing to forgive him almost anything.

This stuff seems less like a "science of discontent" and more like a "science of distraction" to me. As in: let them argue about race, gender, religion, patriotism and whatever else as long as they don't argue about classes.

Considering that the game is 11 years old now, I doubt a macOS port would be worthwhile. Mac users who wanted to play Skyrim has likely already played it on PC or console.

I really liked the game, but I’m certainly not paying to play it again on my Mac when I already own on other platforms.

You see a lot of children playing Minecraft, or when older, Factorio on pacifist modes where they can focus on "the good bit" of building something. Historically war management was what was available, I remember enjoying building a city in Age of Empires more than the battles, and I think with the options available, while combat will always be popular and engaging, it does have alternatives some people enjoy more.

I think the driving desire for purpose is not exclusive to delivery drivers without girlfriends. Fascism is compelling because it seems to fill that void. The power element is simply a byproduct. This is also why all ideologies which purport to offer meaning struggle to coexist with other ideologies with the same goal.
According to Wikipedia, The Boys had a budget of $11.2 million per episode in S1. So that's not a great example of a shoestring budget. (Though I agree with your basic point. I'd rather watch The Boys than pretty much any Marvel film.)

It's the main reason why Windows failed to catch on in the mobile market space. And yes, their constant changes to APIs didn't help, but that's the reason their lack of content started in the first place.

It's a vicious cycle that can only be broken by huge investments and trade deals from Apple. They're trying to get games back on the platform: https://9to5mac.com/2022/06/06/apple-gaming-updates/

However, they're doing so relying on their upscaling tech from the get go. They're also marketing this exclusively for ARM Macs, which are still the minority out there. Perhaps in another couple of years the cycle will be broken, but Apple has historically been quite dismissive of gaming on Mac for anything but "casual" games.
Getting hired and benchwarming isn’t an accomplishment and it is often discriminatory. Given two candidates within a standard deviation, HR mandates we hire the woman.

Once on the team though, there’s no more discrimination. Work accomplished is work accomplished. I know of more companies with positive hiring discrimination, so you shouldn’t wonder if it’s happening. It is happening.
What's wild is that the Japanese source is more related to Western cinema of the late 60s and 70s (French New Wave, New Hollywood) than the American adaptation. The showrunners completely missed the existential and noir motifs the show sourced from that era.
I think it’s safe to say that Steam stats undercount the potential size of the Mac gaming market. There are a few reasons for this:

- The trailing effect of Apple’s underpowered Intel Macs. For many years the average Mac was an Intel MacBook Air, which never had a hope of running many contemporary games.

- As a result, few developers tried to target Macs, which meant Steam felt like a bit of a ghost town for Mac users.

- Store fragmentation with the App Store and Apple Arcade.

I think given the switch to Apple Silicon, and the fact that Apple platform users are typically willing to pay money for things, that the potential revenue share from Mac users could be a lot higher than 2.45% of the PC gaming market if the games were there.

EDIT: I do think that unless Apple does something more to jump start gaming on their platforms that it will never reach its potential. I think they should acquire some studios and pay for exclusives like their competitors do.
"Americans are spending more because of high prices, but adjusted for inflation, they are actually consuming less."
Good. This fear mongering needs to stop. Covid is hardly deadly if you aren’t high risk. There are treatments that are extremely safe and effective like monoclonal antibodies and Ivermectin. The “vaccines” (which they aren’t, they literally changed the definition of the word so these gene therapy shots would meet the criteria) are neither safe (we now have rampant myocarditis cases) nor effective (everyone is getting Covid regardless of Vaccination status). I don’t understand how people at this point still have any faith/trust in the CDC or WHO.

No, the hardest part is realizing that there are all kinds of tacit assumptions that we bring to bear merely by formulating a problem for Bayesian analysis.

Take the example used in chapter 2 of the book. It assumes that news articles can be classified as "real" or "fake", and there is no middle ground. It assumes that the initial prior produced by experts is reliable. And most of all it assumes that certain features, like exclamation points in the title, are causally related to realness or fakeness.

To illustrate this last point, consider analyzing the titles for a different features, the presence of the letter "z" rather than the presence of exclamation points. If it turned out that fake news in the corpus used to generate the priors just turned out to have more zees in their titles, would you then be justified in concluding that a news article about Zanzibar was more likely to be fake because it contained two zees?

That example might seem contrived, but if you use a Bayesian spam filter it is actually plausible that the presence of the letter "v" is dignostic of spam because of the prevalence of spam concerning viagra. But again, there is a causal model of this: viagra is a product that is often the subject of spam marketing, and the word "viagra" happens to have a v in it, which is a priori an uncommon letter in English.

But all this can fall apart depending on the circumstances. If you one day joined an email discussion of Stradavarius violins, the v signal could suddenly fail. An even more dramatic example: suppose you are an academic who starts to do research on spam filters and you have a collaborator who starts to send you examples of hard-to-filter spam. Now you have a very strong signal, but no straightforward textual analysis will allow you to extract it.

The hard part of Bayesian analysis is deciding what features to even look at. All the rest is borderline trivial by comparison.

On linux, just create a separate login and use Chrome there. In fact, what I do is create a separate user, start Chrome once, do any configuration I want and then create a tarball of the separate user's home directory. Then to start a fresh it's just a wipe of the whole directory and unpack the tarball again.

It's fast enough to just run Chrome in a loop, and on each exit wipe and unpack the original state again.

You have an international company located in Europe where daily business is conducted using english. There are naturally diverse teams with people from different countries (as is the case in Europe) and then there's one team where a hungarian manager decides to hire only hungarians.

The same applies to Singapore where the pool of candidates is large and diverse but a certain for example indian manager decides to hire only indians.
