I totally support Magnus Carlson’s decision. He really loves travel and playing in many tournaments and now he can do more of what he loves. I enjoy watching him, and others, do Chess streaming and I went to the US Chess Open in 1978 but I never even played 25 rated games so my rating was never official.

I do like do slowly read through Chess games, especially old historic games. I do the same with the game of Go: I like the several hundred year old Shogun Palace games. I did take online lessons from a Korean Go master a few years ago, and once a month play a long game against CSPro Go program, let it spend an hour after the game analyzing my moves, then I look at what moves I should have played in critical parts of the game.

I guess what I am saying here is that different people enjoy games differently, and I respect Magnus optimizing playing Chess for his own fun and lifestyle.
Top CANDU Reactor Facts You Don't Know
The reason chess is hard to solve is not because it's NP-hard (which it is not, being a constant-sized problem), it's because chess is a big problem.

It can simultaneously be true both that NP-hardness matters, and that constant-sized problems can be hard.
Nice idea. Add a wear indicator and some DRM to it, and a modern service-based industry is born.
A few versions of that exist; Nebula is probably the biggest. There's a reason you may not have heard of it, though.
Completely agree. The pollution metaphor is apt: Not only the cognitive cost of looking over this code, realizing it’s displaying a CSV, and offering advice but also the real CO2 cost of hosting, packaging, distributing, running, and maintaining this code. Truly progressive devs should always consider these costs.
By this logic we shouldn’t question how much we spend for anything.

> Now why apple just defaults to Apple Music, and not "your music player of choice

I think this should be obvious, they want you further into the ecosystem.

If every morning when you get into your car your iPhone starts playing Apple Music, you're more likely to switch to Apple Music for all of your listening than to get another phone.
Wonder if this will also apply outside the EU (e.g. now Britain)
Yes. AnyDesk is often touted as a TeamViewer replacement but they’re just as bad and shady.

Both subreddits are full of users helping grandma only to get banned for commercial use, for example.

I gave RustDesk (FOSS) a try and it was nice but slow and I don’t currently have the time or resources to self host near me to see if that makes a difference.

There is a need in this space for a good home use Remote Desktop that’s easy to use and if touted as free for non-commercial use, doesn’t end up banning you later without hard evidence (or just limit free users to 1 session, etc).

Right now they all seem to be chasing medium/large/enterprise money which makes sense I suppose due to the current state of remote work.
My worry is that it will just not be enforced, just like the GDPR.

The GDPR wasn’t watered down but in the end it just wasn’t enforced (at least not enough) against the biggest offenders it was meant to regulate.
Everyone in this thread who is complaining has either a Lexus or a Toyota (who owns Lexus) so it’s obviously a problem with some version of their infotainment system. The U2 thing was obviously an Apple issue.

Not sure why they don’t use CarPlay but maybe some people prefer Bluetooth.
Well, placebos work fairly well for depression. And it's not like doctors can prescribe them...
I understand the negative responses to your comment as I prefer the freedom to run whatever I want on my computers/devices, but I’d like to mention that I do see your point because we do not live in isolation:

If a friend or relative wants a phone, for now I can recommend them an iPhone and be free of the drama that would ensue if (when!) they installed any of those sketchy things you mention, which not only would for instance spy on their messages, but also get anything I send them in addition to my contact data. And then I’ll have to do technical support to mitigate the consequences.

Other situation when this freedom will be a problem would be peer/boss pressure to install some crap that they like to use for messaging for instance.

Unfortunately, others installing garbage in their computers/devices affects me too.
That’s a social problem, and there is no simple solution for it.

I’d still choose freedom.
Off-topic but what ever happened to this [1] Google quantum computing breakthrough?

Major buzz happened in 2019 but since then, it feels, crickets. Did the NSA swoop in and silence all publication of further development or something?

Chinook was obviously playing the long con. Knowing Tinsley's weakness was his humanity, so it continued to draw until his frail human body succumbed to the forces of nature, thus winning once and for all.
Does anyone know if the definition of "gatekeeper" extends to infrastructure services like AWS or Cloudflare?

> A small number of large undertakings providing core platform services have emerged with considerable economic power that could qualify them to be designated as gatekeepers pursuant to this Regulation. Typically, they feature an ability to connect many business users with many end users through their services, which, in turn, enables them to leverage their advantages, such as their access to large amounts of data, from one area of activity to another. Some of those undertakings exercise control over whole platform ecosystems in the digital economy and are structurally extremely difficult to challenge or contest by existing or new market operators, irrespective of how innovative and efficient those market operators may be

Sure sounds cloudy to me

edit: it seems to be explicitly covered:

Article 2

> (1) ‘Gatekeeper’ means an undertaking providing core platform services, designated pursuant
to Article 3;

> (2) ‘Core platform service’ means any of the following:

> (i) cloud computing services;

Article 3

> 1. An undertaking shall be designated as a gatekeeper if:

> (a) it has a significant impact on the internal market;

> (b) it provides a core platform service which is an important gateway for business users
to reach end users; and

> (c) it enjoys an entrenched and durable position, in its operations, or it is foreseeable that it will enjoy such a position in the near future.

This act sounds like the US tech equivalent of Thor's hammer
Yup.

Though cars still put out a fair bit more pollution from tire wear than bicycles do.
Worse actually. I was lucky enough to read the fine print and canceled just a month in. They called to figure out why I canceled so fast and when I pointed out the user hostile terms they said “oh ok thanks have a nice day.”
I do believe that npm and pip packages should be regarded as potentially compromised if you don't check the dependency tree regularly (don't believe anyone does that tbh). The solution isn't moving into the cloud though, that would probably expose you more than a local machine.

Put your work into a VM if you want a layer of security and separation. Personally I don't do that. I have a VPS (they are very cheap) but I never thought to use it as a platform for development. I use it to host my projects there for myself mostly. Perhaps monitor the traffic, but this is tedious as well.

Otherwise you need to check you dependencies. If you do not do that you don't want to offer your software to others anyway.
I never said chess was NP hard, it was an analogy. The equivalent would be some kind of chess on an NxN or Nx8 board I guess, I don't know how hard would be.
The "vulnerability" has always existed, it was just not as widely exploited (or at least not known to be).

As for how to fix it: When the cost for technical measures to ensure security gets too high we need legal measures to ensure a higher-trust society where such technical measures are not needed. We don't all live in locked down fortresses with bullet proof windows and filtered air and water supplies either even though technically that makes us more vulnerable.
Taking away guns does not solve the reason for which they become used by some people.

The cost, such as politically and time & energy to lobby, would be better spent making the social net better, or add more mental health services that target more people, and to prevent people from getting to a state of destitution (and fall into crime).
Or how about Apple crippling their own device whenever someone wants to do any of these things?
Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're looking for, TightVNC has served all the purposes I needed for remote desktop.
Thanks, sounds reasonable
GitLab team member here.

Maybe you can re-use the script I shared in this comment [0] to query the GitLab REST API to generate an index. I'm a fan of using the API programmatically, and tend to avoid git checkout/grep/etc. inside CI/CD pipelines (works too, everyone is free to choose their way).

Yet again, I love API challenges, so I've created a new script which parses a defined markdown footer for Tags and Due date, and generates an ordered index by due date. I did not know which format you are using, so I made up my own, see the MR description [1] and docs [2].

The script lives in [3] and is a mix of fetching files, parsing content with regex, and generating the index + creating a commit to upload automatically.

A demo overview is shown in [4] with the generated index.md, ordered by due date and linking the files by parsed heading title, file paths, and tags.

Hope it helps, feel free to repurpose, or ping me for questions on the GitLab community forum [5]. My Python code is a little rusty, I am slowly adopting all the 3.x design patterns after many years with 2.x.

I might follow your idea with notes and custom footer parsing. That's a really nifty idea, and helps solve my own chaos :-)

> Some of the money is used to fund the maintenance of highways, though.

Only in the sense that some of all tax money is used in that way - VED just gets pooled with all tax income, none of it is 'ring fenced' for any specific purpose. That's why the idea of 'road tax' is so annoying, since it implies it's to be used for a specific purpose.
My last gig, on call worked well, I thought, for a few reasons: it was our services that we wrote, it was 1 wk out of 6 that you were on call, we heavily prioritized fixing unactionable alerts and automating fixes -- every alert had a runbook entry that described the non-automated fixes, and while on call your or sprint commitments were not counted,

That last point was very nice as it meant you could work on whatever you felt was most important for quality of life improvements all week long while not fielding on call issues. This meant that I looked forward to on call.
Also woth noting in many cases these are intended to help link one in further out areas to existing mass transit infrastructure - IIRC Via in seattle has its service area to help one get from home to a link light rail station.

Companies will put up with almost anything if there’s money to be made there.

On one view, Morphy et al. picked low-hanging fruit, no longer available to Kasparov. On the other, Morphy and Capablanca etc. laid the foundations on which Carlsen and Kasparov walk.
Zoho Assist works pretty well. I use at work but it also has a good free tier.
You just nat UDP/53 traffic and resolve it yourself. Now you have to identify the specific DoH server they're using and block it, and hope it falls back to something you can control.
This is amazing. Of course a full train or bus can be an order of magnitude more efficient, and so should be installed and run where there’s demand, but replacing the prohibitively-expensive private option of Uber with an affordable, if slower, city option is just… lovely!
Oh dear. Somebody didn't pass the geometric sequence question on their GSCE maths paper.

The £35B revenue replaces itself, because money doesn't stop at its first use.

What you don't spend on fuel duty, you spend on something else, which is subject to VAT, causes wages to be paid subject to PAYE, and profits to be earned subject to corporation tax. They then spend their increased income cause more tax to be raised and so on.

In other words the taxation just moves elsewhere in the spending/income chain. And that's because total tax take is a function of government spending and the desire of the non government sector to save or spend. The more the non-government saves the lower the tax take is as a percentage of government spending - pretty much regardless of tax rates.

Tax rates really just alter the distribution, and not so much the total.

The purpose of sin taxes is to discourage people from doing one thing and start doing another. There is no 'revenue', firstly because you can't rely on it and secondly because a sovereign government has no need of revenue in the first place. That's not the purpose of taxes!

Ideally sin taxes should be matched with virtue subsidies, so that people who are hard of accounting can see what is happening. For example a fuel duty should be hypothecated to an electric car subsidy and they then wane in lockstep with each other as the behaviour changes.
Right. I'm saying that, on the only site I run where I look at this kind of thing, when I review the stats, "uses Brave" puts a visitor into a pool of 2 people. Preventing me from enumerating their fonts is a valiant effort, though.
More like garbage collectors
Nice, this means i might consider buying an iPhone again at some point. I have an old iPod Touch but since it has been long abandoned by Apple it is practically useless - i can't even use it as a music player despite it obviously being perfectly capable of that. I've given up on Apple devices considering i can't even install another OS on their Macs too nowadays so i can at least use up-to-date software.

(technically i know it can be jailbroken but the process is so annoying and requires downloading some old version of iTunes from who knows where - so obviously i'd rather have that sort of functionality officially supported)
Surely that's at each company's discretion.
Company size is irrelevant. It is important that you have at least one colleague, preferably in "senior" role, who can do code reviews, give advice on solutions and just to chat about news and recent trends in industry. Having a rival developer with similar skill set also helps, but teamwork and communication is more important than working separately and trying to deliver more projects than other guy.
I like it! I'll do you one further. Git is more like... someone ripped out all the controls from your car and installed a Boeing 787 dashboard. You'd probably figure out how to start it and make it go forward, left and right, but you'd miss out on a lot of functionality and likely destroy something while playing with unknown buttons.

Yeah I have a vivid memory of hysterically crying after getting less than 12 hours of sleep over 3 or 4 days during a particularly bad shift. My pager went off 30 minutes before the end of my shift and I lost it. I should’ve passed the pager but I was too “up” to recognize it and my manager at the time was completely clueless about oncall work. Actually at that same company getting paged 8-10 times off-hours during an oncall shift was not unheard of, the burnout was real… I’m surprised there aren’t more lawsuits regarding this because the toll of sleep deprivation on health is well known.
I find these conversations amusing because it really is the nerd (I mean that as a nerd myself; not perjoratively) version of arguing about whether LeBron is better than Jordan (in their respective primes) or whether the GOAT is Brady, Woods or LeBron.

It's just funny that this same argument structure repeats in radically different fields with (often) very different people.

Personally I've never gotten too invested in any of these arguments because they're ultimately unknowable but, more importantly, they're kind of pointless. You can't separate someone from the time they existed in. I was only ever at best average at Chess but even I could recognize that the grats of 100-200 years ago would get wiped out by the modern greats but obviously we know more now, we have better tools now and so on. And you can never really say how a historic great would do in the modern times with modern ideas, knowledge and tools because they're a product of their time.
Bias towards existing housing forms (apartments, single-family homes.)

Sense of entitlement that automatically generates hostility towards anything different (note how the article starts talking about resentment towards AirBNB in Colorado.)

Hotel companies are charging high rates for short stays, why mess that up by advertising cheaper rates for long stays?

Your back of the envelope math is crap. You are comparing USD costs to AUD costs, using fuel costs from 4 years ago, using energy costs that are 50% higher than the article, and completely ignoring the costs of the pollution of burning all that fuel.

The entire peer reviewed article is about how to make this calculation and what figures to use as inputs. Instead of discussing the article, you are throwing around numbers you poorly calculated or pulled from random out of date articles you googled.
How often does someone get a daily rotation though? One week out of four is not uncommon. One out of every four days on-call would really destroy your life though.
Major buzz happened because Google made big claims. Were those actually justified, or were the critics cited in the article correct?
having resonable response times make a huge difference in being oncall.

in my experience, most employer seem to think responding within 30minutes or so is doable, and i tend to agree with them.
Usually makes it possible for you to just do things around the house/ in your life, and not having to rush back home when you run into an oncall issue.

> He was utterly dominant; indeed it is hard to think of a competitor in all of history more dominant over his sport or game than Tinsley.

Very interesting comment. This sentence about dominance in a field made me think of Stu Ungar, who dominated Gin Rummy so completely that he had to switch to Poker (where he became a 3-time world champion) to meet interesting adversaries.

I couldn't find an exact reference for the following quote, but still: "Some day, I suppose it's possible for someone to be a better No Limit Hold'em player than me. I doubt it, but it could happen. But, I swear to you, I don't see how anyone could ever play gin better than me."
I love that last point. I will be pushing for this now given any opportunity.
Do they pickup multiple passengers? It does seem like subsidized taxis, and not really "mass transit," but I'm glad it's helping people. I think a tram system powered by overhead lines is much more efficient, and better, they just need to lay the tracks.

I think about Berlin and how you can get just about anywhere on the tram system, and if you are well behaved your trip could be, well, free.. [0]

I enjoy being on call. I have heavy ADHD, so I am not a fan of routine, well-defined time activities and deadlines, but if I get this call at 2AM, I feel intense adrenaline rush, and I feel like a hero of the night saving the prod.
"never" just means exactly when you are on-call.

And holy moly! One whole week of being on-call is way too much.
This was hilarious, thank you for the tip!

I'm saying that even an Arduino is faster than a ZX Spectrum, so yes I would place it firmly in that category as it wouldn't exactly be able to run anything advanced enough to warrant maintenance.

That's a matter of perspective really, in 100 years even what's modern today will be considered early.
> There’s also not really any metric where any of them are better than Fischer.

Off the top of my head - World Championships matches won, time spent as number 1, peak Elo.

> Neither Carlsen nor Kasparov challenged Vishy’s title during the peak of his career.

When was the peak? He was WC between 2007 and 2013, he wasn't even the top ranked player for most of that time and then he lost the WC to Magnus (then lost the rematch too).
> If I could record a call I had evidence in case of dispute.

It might not be legal to do that, in all cases, and the evidence might not be valid.
Example #354 of why the shift to subscriptions and cloudified everything has resulted in me using more open-source for consumer-style apps.

It turns out that, if you refuse to simply let me throw money at you in exchange for software and instead demand an ongoing relationship, I'm almost certain to just nope out and find a different way to fix my problem.

Intentionally baking a bad offboarding experience gives the game away - companies who do this think you're a chump and will happily fuck with you for another nickel rather than build a better product.

California HSR is projected to cost $100B for 500 miles. That’s $200M/mile.

By comparison, the 160 mile LGV Méditerranée in France cost €3.8B in 2001 [0]. That’s roughly €25M/mile. Even after accounting for exchange rates and inflation, that’s still roughly an order of magnitude cheaper.

Yes, big things cost a lot of money, but they shouldn’t cost 10x more what they cost in other industrialized countries. High speed rail is great, but it should not be funded with a blank check.
