You probably shouldn't make such inflammatory comments on an account that is directly linked to your professional and personal profiles, it really doesn't look great

Also it isn't a criticism of my criticism, it is an assertion that I should not be allowed to criticise at all, which is a totally different thing. Of course I am going to call that out

EDIT: I can't reply because rate limited

Please calm down. I'm not threatening you. I'm simply surprised that you make such inflammatory and aggressive comments on an account that is so closely tied to your professional life, that is all. I think you should reconsider doing so

Standalone Python apps as binaries tend to be poorly performant, and huge (due to shipping an interpreter, stdlib, deps, etc) in my experience.

Assuming you get it working at all.
I have run benchmarks directly with the actual codebase running on my computer and then the WASM version and the WASM is about 70-80% of the speed.

Sadly, when the analyzer was written in Go, I was getting around 20-25% of the speed after compiling to WASM. I believe it is largely due to that code being very inefficient about allocations, and I think WASM doesn't like allocations/deallocations very much.
I don't like how the handles are on the side for most of the packout boxes, and they're very bulky (what are those aluminum bars on the corners for?) and generally too big for almost all of my tools. Waterproof is nice, but completely unnecessary for me.

I prefer the Tanos Systainer stacking boxes. They're small enough that each box can have a single purpose. For example, I have a drill, impact driver, charger, spare battery, and all of my drill bits inside one medium box (very heavy). In an XL box I have a track saw with its accessories, in a small box I have a jig saw, and in a medium box I made some wooden dividers for all my glue, wood fillers, and caulking.

Makita makes some of the older-style boxes with 4 latches that often go on sale for very cheap on Amazon, but I prefer the newer T-lock boxes because you can open a box even if it's in a stack. But the T-lock boxes are insanely expensive, so I mostly have the Makita boxes. Both styles are compatible with each other.

I was in a very similar situation. I left on vacation and let the team merge their code without my review.

On my return, nothing was working as intended, although the codebase grew by 5,000 LOCs. I made it clear to everyone that they failed and a couple of weeks later I was gently asked to quit, which I happily did.

> Someone with a nuanced position on war would not be using the term "anti-war"

Nonsense. You're taking a narrow view of the concept, that they are literally against all forms of fighting no matter how great the evil encountered. That is unreasonable and uncommon.

Rather people who are anti-war are for dealing with conflicts at a root level before they even approach war, and for ending unscrupulous wars.

If you didn't even know the thing you were rallying against, why did you bother? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-war_movement

> Many activists distinguish between anti-war movements and peace movements. Anti-war activists work through protest and other grassroots means to attempt to pressure a government (or governments) to put an end to a particular war or conflict or to prevent it in advance.
I don't think this is what the GP is talking about.

Think of this scenario: Suppose I got an online token/contract/NFT on any Blockchain that says I own the property and house at 123 Main Street and further suppose this is as verified on the chain as it can be. No doubt about it.

Then when I show up to 123 Main Street there is already someone living there with a different claim (let's say a classic deed in some government real estate database).

Then the police and the courts get involved and at the end of it one party will be removed from the property, by force if necessary.

This is what the GP meant with trusted physical party. The entities who IRL decide and enforce which of the many competing "proofs" of ownership are actually legit.

On the contrary, since the state ostensibly exists to serve its citizens, there is no legitimate reason to withhold any data whatsoever from them.

The idea that all but the most dangerous military information should not be public in real time flies in the face of the concept of an informed citizenry, and is far more dangerous and pernicious than its access by hostile powers.

If some information should not be public, it simply should not be accessible by the state.

>I used to unapologetically pirate video games and only within the past two years have I finally come full circle and begun purchasing games, both new titles and older ones I had played in the past but never paid for until now.

Yeah VoLTE and VoWiFi were just getting rolled out when I left telecom. It was all IMS and hacks on top of SS7 and stuff like that.

WhatsApp really applied a ton of pressure to telcos and changed the game. Do you remember they an international sms in the US was $.60 per message before whatsapp?
C ABI is very well supported indeed. After commiting some contortions to avoid varargs, I found out Rust does actually cover them.

But it's still something different than a real rust ABI. Basic things like pushing a string or an enum to a client will hurt. Providing a rust library without source is not an option for now.

I only recently became aware of the Sichuan "pepper" or at least its effects. Maybe I had somehow managed to never get it in large enough quantities to notice (I have certainly eaten Sichuan/Szechuan food many times in my life), but a recent experience with a a Sichuan dish that had a lot of Sichuan oil in it gave me the full mouth-numbing experience. I have to say I have been hooked ever since.

It did not get much media coverage, but when Donald Trump was giving a speech in Las Vegas last week, he suggested that stricter laws for Fentanyl trafficking should be enacted, including capital punishment. Instead, Nevada (and many other states) have reduced penalties and now will not even arrest somebody with less than 28 grams (14k times the lethal dose).

Although each implementation of jsonnet has some quirks, take a look at sjsonnet^1 (scala-based) or go-jsonnet^2 for improved performance. We generally prefer go-jsonnet.

There's also a Rust version^3 that claims to be the fastest yet^4, but I haven't experimented with it at all.

Definitely a really cool project and totally makes sense especially since cloud PC has become a thing.
By nothing else you meant: Cortana; Edge and its pop-up when you open Firefox/Chrome; The internet-first search bar that might look into your actual files if you skim through enough Bing results; Windows defender; Windows media player, and image viewer, and an odd looking Paint revamp; All the Win8-style apps not meant for a PC, including an email client,a calendar yet another Photo viewer, something that wants hard to access your phone. All this without including Space Cadet.

And if you didn't do a clean install you can probably add a ton of extra stuff: Office trial; Another anti-virus, why not make your gaming environment even slower?; Games for a 5yo; Updaters and drivers that will haunt your system tray.
I think you're right, but it's a perfect illustration of why we should definitely not be using "war" as a word for every task we undertake. Calling it a "war on drugs" is bad because it implies that we are attacking someone or something rather than looking at it as healing a nation from the harm caused by drugs, which even though it's just a difference of phrasing, lends itself to a more empathetic approach. Framing matters. Language matters. Nowadays every act of vandalism is "terrorism" and everything we do is a "war". But as you can never eliminate drugs or terror or vandalism or poverty completely, it's a war that can never be won, so it's dishonest both in terms of scope and in terms of how it frames possible action.
I think judges are allowed to dismiss cases "with prejudice" (i.e. not allow for a retrial), and I feel like this _should_ be done if the prosecution purposely punts to try again later, but I'm not sure how often this happens in practice
As Vonnegut wrote extensively in Slaughterhouse Five: “So it goes.”
I think the hungry bit is often under-discussed.

I lost 75kg over 3 years, then put exactly 75kg back on over the 4 years after that.

While losing weight, and keeping it off (for about 6 months), I was hungry all the time, every day. I hoped that my body would eventually "get used" to the new standard, but in the end (not conciously), I gave up -- it was too mentally tiring to be hungry whenever I was awake.

I'm sure lots of it was a combination of physical and psycological -- I could eat lots of raw vegetables and not want to eat another carrot -- that wouldn't stop me eating something fatty/sugary.

tl;dr they use a lot of RATs and also do a lot of supply chain intercepts on hardware before it arrives to their targets. They will insert malicious hardware like charging cables or adapters or actually infect the HDD or phone with a backdoor.
I'm looking forward to reading this in depth, but first: there have been many attempts to describe the 25, or 7, or 2 types of stories. My favorite, only because I can remember is, is 2:

1. A man goes on a journey

2. A stranger comes to town

Do all stories reduce to one of those? Not really, but it's interesting.

"Not really, but it's interesting." is my reaction to most of those. If you're trying to write fiction, they might help. If you're watching a TV show, you might see that the scriptwriter is slavishly following one of those, as @legohead says below.
Doesn’t it still work that way?

What's the alternative to capitalism, PBS but for video games?
Even more minor nit: ma2la4 is actually the combination of flavors of both numbness (ma2, 麻) and spiciness (la4, 辣). The latter is commonly used outside the combined descriptor to signify normal capsaicin spice in food.

Off topic, but the "ma" in mapo tofu also uses same character from ma2la4, but also serves to give a visual description of the dish. That character is also used to refer to a pockmarked person, and the po2 is from one of the various ways to refer to grandmother. You could probably go as far to say it's something of a pun.

Old and clunky. Try setting up a multisig on the weekend with a few friends around the world, who all use different banks. It usually involves a lot of time, paperwork, lock-in to a single bank, monthly fees, sharing private data, and strict limitations on use.

In comparison you and several friends can set up a m-of-n account in a couple of transactions, closer to the flow and ease of setting up a new WhatsApp group.

The defense also gets to retool its strategy in light of the evidence. Defense also gets to make evidentiary motions. Retrials don't always favor the prosecution.

I think the most retrials I've seen (stemming from hung juries, not reversals) is the John Gotti Jr. case, where he got four mistrials. Prosecutors decided not to seek retrial after that.
> I must admit I do not understand the industry, but I don't see why competent studios like Blizzard/BioWare/Id could not simply self-publish their games. What exactly does EA add to the equation? Seems like it would not be a particularly monumental task to cut them out.

Indeed you don't understand it because BioWare etc ... are just studio name it's all EA right. People at Bioware are EA employees they're not Bioware employees. btw EA purchased BW before ME2 even released so it has been 15years+.

As for the rest EA is one of the best place to work for in the video game industry, they're pretty good with their employees ( working hour, perks etc ... ).

Regarding the legendary edition it's playable offline so I not sure what you're talking about.
Sort of, but not exactly. Cloves contain eugenol which can act as a mild anesthetic. Sichuan peppers contain hydroxy-alpha-sanshool another organic alcohol that is pretty different chemically, I think.
It was in fact the running joke that everyone knew everyone hated BCL.

But the issues with it were well known, so it makes sense to me that after learning all that the guy who invented it could have come up with a really good successor.
The same smugness and sense of superiority that China held for England, was also held by England for China. As such, the English only primarily tried to sell knickknacks and things the Chinese could produce better. This ended up backfiring and cementing the view to the Chinese that the English were simple barbarians.

They did indeed have weapons the Chinese (and other nations) wanted, but only sold a limited amount of them, to avoid arming the other nations too well, in case they ever wanted to go conquering.
The previous version of this, Factory OS, ran all of the Win32 apps in a microVM (which was the planned functionality for Windows 10X), while UWP apps could run natively. I wonder if this does something similar or if that was dropped.

(I spent some time trying to figure out how the VM is created to see if something like that could be done in regular Windows, but much of it is undocumented. Being able to only run one Windows Sandbox at a time in regular Windows kills some of my workflows.)
Weightloss is made in the kitchen, not the gym. It's really really hard to burn more calories than you eat.

That extra donut or candy bar you had? That's an hour or so on a treadmill.

The good news is that almost all diets work, find one you can stick to and stick to it. You should see results. It's not a fast process though. It didn't take a week or a month to put on that weight, it's not going to take a week or a month to get rid of it.

Me personally, the weight watchers tier with the weekly call with a coach was immensely helpful for me, but there's all kinds of other diets you can try.
No, actually. Of the direct dependencies, Python’s standard library has equivalents of regex (re), serde/serde_json (json), clap (argparse) and the boring half of textwrap (textwrap, which is only suitable for ASCII, and possibly curses providing a buggy and incomplete version of Unicode- and column-awareness, but I’m not sure of even that much, and I don’t think it’s properly cross-platform either), and some parts of crossterm (curses, of uncertain availability and reliability). But it completely lacks equivalents of most of crossterm and textwrap, and all of dirs and unicode-segmentation, providing in the latter two cases only functionality pretty much exactly equivalent to what Rust’s standard library contains.

This is the sort of thing that I meant by “doing things properly rather than half-heartedly”. You could make something like this by reimplementing half the libraries in an inferior fashion, full of bugs, cross-platform inconsistencies and missing functionality. Or you can take an extra dependency. Even in Python, the recommendation would be firmly to add dependencies like appdirs for dirs and I dunno what for the rest.

> VLB went from 0 to 100% on 486 motherboards pretty much overnight. [...] actual EGA cards were also fairly short lived in that little window before VGA was released so by the late 1980's weren't being sold with new machines

I know the market moved fast back then, but "sales" != "ownership". Sales may have switched to VGA overnight, but if a game wants to maximise it's audience it needs to target what people already own. So unless people buy computers like they buy milk, that would have included EGA cards.
We're not there by far. Russia is doing really really bad on the battlefront.

But i do agree it could become dangerous if China gets stupid ideas too.

But, they currently don't have the capacity to strike an amphibious assault + their military seems to be similar to the Russian one.

So yes, it could become worrisome if it happens. But i don't think that China has much to gain with attacking Taiwan from my POV.

Ukraine had found a gas supply in Crimea in 2008, that could replace all Russian gas imports in Europe. That's very different than a chip factory that is set to selfdestruct during an invasion and that needs machines that are literally made by ASML+ Imec ( Europe)

Ps. I was more worried about that part at the start of the war than now.
I wonder if there is anything today that would need to come down (or up) in price to kick off a revolution. I've heard some argue that was decentralized payments online (cryptocurrency) but that hasn't led to much outside of speculation IMO.

The other thing I heard was battery technology. Just recently a podcast with Matthew Ball, he makes the argument that AR/VR/metaverse technology needs a breakthrough (in part) in battery technology. Right now the best system can run at half the performance you need for 30 minutes and gets really hot.

Interesting.

OTOH, people have named a number of similar tools, and I'm going to point out 'mc'
aka Midnight Commander, which is part of most linux distro's, and is a clone of the 1980's Norton commander. Its designed to be a command line TUI helper, sorta like the project here, with not only cursor/etc based directory navigation but copy/rename/delete/etc functionality just a keystroke away. Its fairly convenient because it overlays the command line rather than replacing it.
Oil extraction engineering has a pretty phenomenal return on investment. If oil sells at 100 dollars per barrel, that's 600 dollars per cubic meter. If you produce a cubic meter per second (1/200th of world production), that's 50 million dollars per day.

But certainly, nuclear or renewables could have been developed more and earlier.
I think the other direction is more useful, if it isn't peer reviewed (and is written in this format) it almost certainly is complete garbage. Otherwise it would be peer reviewed.
