Is it just me or is that article exceptionally well written?

I mean, I'm not fluent in English, but passively consume quite a lot of content in English on a daily basis, and I cannot remember the last time I found something so smooth to read. Usually I tend to skip the "fluff", skim around, get sidetracked in thoughts, backtrack from unexpected details (to parts skipped while skimming) and in effect just rarely read something in its entirety and often leave articles in the middle.

But this prose I was able to read it from start to finish without such "stutter" and felt it is such darn "well-crafted" piece text along the way.

Can you see anything special about it what makes more "accessible"? (Simpler language?) Or did it perhaps just "clicked" by sheer chance?
Wow. That's impressive.

Though the effect is from "antiherpetic medication", not vaccines.
To understand why it's a strong argument, you have to understand the difference between 2D games like League and 3D games like Valorant. In a 2D game, the game is slow enough that you can keep most of the state server-side. The potential to cheat in League is very low. Things you might want to do include (1) macros to do combos (2) automatically run away when low health (3) bigger alerts when an enemy is charging your lane (4) skillshot aiming. None of those are going to really push you up in rank. You'd be better off just getting good at them yourself, as you'll have more flexibility than relying on a tool to do them for you (and then having to fight the tool when you don't want them).

A 3D game like Valorant or Call of Duty is much more fast-paced and also introduces a third dimension. This means that transferring the visible game state to the player every frame is much more difficult, both for the server to keep track of, and for the network bandwidth available to the players. This means that in 3D games, there is often client-side data that the user is not supposed to see (such as the exact position of an enemy who has ducked behind a wall, but the server hasn't stopped sending you position data for yet). This poses a huge advantage to whoever can get access to that data and display it somehow. These are called cheats... And they can run in kernel space. This is why they need their own kernel rootkit to detect them.

This article seems to be a bit unclear, but it seems like their point is to justify kernel-mode anti-cheat in broad strokes. I don't think they're just talking about League here. Adding anti-cheat to League is probably not a priority, for reasons I've outlined above.

Flameshot is great, the only thing that would be better is if you could video record a screen region using the same UI instead of just taking screenshots.

Most screen recorders are incredibly cludgy. They either require extra cropping and editing after the fact or tank framerate into being unusable. I don't understand the technical problems and the whys though.
What about the variation of initial conditions?

When we race for 100m stride, everyone has the same initial conditions. Same starting line.

What are the probabilities of getting an easier scramble than a difficult one?
I did something similar. I told that I was not good enough to do a Ph.D., then was contacted shortly afterwards and asked to be a teaching assistant. Without the burden of grad studies, I ended up doing actual teaching, leading a team of teaching assistants, being one of the representatives of the department by doing public lectures, and (incidentally) earning more than most of the lecturers. In the end, I decided they were right about the Ph.D. thing. I learned enough in my years there to figure out that I didn't have the stomach for academic politics.
Magit, and the remote branch names are visible in the log view and easy to enter via tab completion. (We're still talking about stacked PRs right? Median stacked at any given time is probably 2 and p90 is maybe 4? Max I've ever seen is ~10 and that was quite a fucked up situation for plenty of other reasons.)

10 seconds would certainly be too long for me. It is obviously not too long for them, or they'd learn some keyboard shortcuts to get the easy 5 out of the way to begin with. But regardless, it's all pretty much dwarfed by things that need actual brainpower like re-reading my commit messages for grammatical errors / broken links / etc.

It was not a coup (mostly because it achieved nothing).

> They aren't going to turn their noses up at the only grants they are competitive for.

They would if it doesn't make them competitive when it comes time for tenure review. Reproducing research doesn't get one tenure, so accepting such grants would mean tacitly admitting you should also start looking for a new position in a couple years when you go up for review. That's why I said we need an realignment of incentives across academia in addition to these grants, which would give a career path to people. Maybe it's worth it to create positions for people who just reproduce others' research, I don't know.

I can find no clips of Fauci “correcting” the president after that clip. Only after it became apparent to everyone that the vaccines were not effective at preventing Covid, did the administration start shifting the narrative to the prevention of disease severity talking point.

Fact is, they were wrong, or they were lying to intentionally mislead to encourage vaccination. Either way, what they say now about it now should be examined skeptically.
It was certainly a requirement for the tool we were developing. Google's crawler most definitely does support client-side rendering: https://www.botify.com/blog/martin-splitt-javascript-renderi....

I generally agree with others replying that people should be allowed to harm themselves with something like RAAM if they're doing so willingly. However I'm not sure if it's ethical to support others harming themselves. Rides like RAAM have way more support staff than riders.
Impossible to tell without knowing more. For our recent entry-level opening we could offer an interview to about 5-10% of applicants due to the volume of applications, generic "I've done a bootcamp/I have a degree" resumes in general did not fare well.

I am aware that hypnosis can be used to induce temporary paralysis in targeted body regions. Have you experimented with that and does it offer a temporary reprieve from at least one of your sources of disphoria?
I beg to differ. As revolting as their actions were, it is hard to consider 10 year olds as adults and treat them as such in the eyes of the law. The recidivism you raise could actually support my argument rather than strengthen yours. Had they been treated differently (I.e. more as children) perhaps they might have been rehabilitated and ended up more “normal”.

Don’t misunderstand my position. What they did was vile beyond comprehension, but were 10 year olds fully responsible for their own behaviour at this age?
Because games are generally thought of as harmless. Most people aware a rogue piece of productivity software or something can cause them issues. Games, for whatever reason, don't get that same consideration.

Daniel Estévez (https://destevez.net/) has lots of interesting blog posts on using tools like GNU Radio and Jupiter to decode transmissions from various objects in space. He's recently also been looking at LTE.

There are lots of good explanations of the how and why in those videos.
Advertising is insufficient. It is ultimately a popularity contest that plays out for a particular work being accepted into the general consensus. It’s altogether a very sad state of affairs.
I have not felt the need to use ripgrep either. If there was some set of directories and files that I had to search recursively and grep was not fast enough, then I would find a way to reduce the size/number of directories and files that I am searching. That is not always an easy problem to solve, but I believe it is the problem most worthy of solving. To me, size matters. Small has its advantages.

I use computers with resource constraints.^1 I have grep in multicall/crunched binaries. To use ripgrep I would have to make include it as a separate binary. Is there a solution similar to crunchgen for making crunched Rust binaries.

I am not sure if the "ripgrep" name is a joke or the author is serious. Assuming the later, I am content to wait for the BSD and Linux projects I use to switch from C to Rust and from BSD/GNU grep to ripgrep, at which point I would imagine it will simply be called "grep". For portability.

1. This may be why I have less need for ripgrep. I try to keep things small. Keeping things small routinely has the deirable side effect of making things relatively fast.
I dunno. My parents and their peer group can't stop recommending Ted Lasso, Coda, Greyhound, etc. It seems to me their audience skews older.
Interesting point... I don't know if this is part of the answer, but apparently around 1800 there was a shift in Christianity (which would have been society as a whole, at least nominally) that piety came naturally to women, and it was men who had the problems. [1] cites The Death of Christian Britain (Brown, 2009) for this, and quotes at some length. In this or another post the author asserts that this view has colored our society, even down to divorce courts and friends believing the wife rather than the husband.

Interestingly, of the four divorces of people that I am familiar with, one man beat his wife, two women were narcissists, and one women committed adultery. Small sample size, but the fault is not obviously male-dominated. One would expect a 50-50 split, since presumably both genders are equally prone to emotional unhealth. But, men's failures seem to tend towards a more visible manifestation: sex, drugs, alcohol, violence. Women seem to act out more broadly than men, or perhaps in just less visible ways, like relationaly (e.g. character assassination).

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to such a generic question.

You need to take things into consideration like what country you are in, what type of physical heath most of your employees are in (fatter people won't like the same shirts as thinner people, so you generally want to play to your crowd), the amount of female to male employees can play a factor, what type of logo and design you are going for is important if you want it to look good because deciding if you're going with screen printing or silk screening is also a huge factor.

There are typically a few major generic t-shirt brands available as a base. Start by picking your favorite that also matches your employee demographic best.

Next you need to decide on your design and what style of printing you are going to do.

At this point pretty much anyone can finish the job. Most people just go with a local company because it's easier to do business, testing, shipping, returns, deal with problems, etc with a local company than trying to interact with some random giant company somewhere in another country.

There is enough housing if you don't mind the long commute. It's more like a shortage of homes in desirable areas. Suddenly adding more homes or packing in more people will make some of these areas less desirable and hurt existing homeowners.
That's a fair point, I don't know if there are any other fission reactor candidates that have a better shot at succeeding? Maybe SMRs are the only possible candidates even though the economics ($/kWh) are likely worse, if they can build them on time then at least we're working with a predictable outcome.

I find it equally suspicious that there’s such a number of pro nuclear posts here, given that nuclear has nothing to do with this. Seems like an astroturf campaign on its own, or at least people with zero insight into market dynamics.

Nuclear has nothing to gain by smearing solar, and in fact benefits from solar, as it very much addresses the shortcomings of other renewables. Nuclear gains a lot by aligning itself as a renewable, and this stance has already been accepted by many people concerned about climate change.

So I can't use Dockerfiles and `docker build` to build things for k8s?
Wow, that’s a totally wild article. Thanks for sharing. I don’t think it is the same mindset as in the states, but it shows the challenges of dealing with vulnerable populations, that’s for sure.

Doubt it. There is no alternative on open platforms. Serverside anticheats are dead on arrival, they are and will always be easy to fool.
Stranger Things is literally the most popular streaming show ever.

That's like comparing The Larry Sanders show to Seinfeld.

Here's what the budget-phone, non-laptop owning masses can look forward to if Apple has the Sunday Ticket:

* First, install Apple Music on your phone. If you don't have a smartphone, you might just be out of luck here.

* Sign up for or create an Apple ID in Apple Music. Yes, Apple Music, even though you want TV.

* Start an Apple Music trial.

* Log in to the Apple TV app using your account, now that you have a valid account that will let you sign in.

* Use the Apple TV app to upgrade your account to Apple TV+

* Cancel your Apple Music Trial.

This is... absurd? I hope that the product folks are on top of this if they acquire the Sunday Ticket.

For the record, this is the advice currently on 9to5mac.com and is how I subscribed to watch Foundation on Android TV.
This isn't exactly an apples-to-oranges comparison. Stranger Things had the advantage of Netflix being a dominant player in the streaming market for many years. Let's compare Ted Lasso with House of Cards, Netflix's first foray into creating an original series:

I wonder if he has hard data about how often people look at his documentation.

I generally agree with everything he wrote. One page quick start, focus on getting things working, people will dig into writing code right away. Yes, yes, yes. But, then what? People tend to read documentation extensively when something doesn't work the way they think it should. You can make your API as self-documenting as humanly possible, but there's no way to know if the person using your API is going to be on the same wavelength.

My go-to example here is Ruby. I once got stuck on an interactive ruby tutorial because you're supposed to be able to guess the names of the commonly used functions in ruby. This particular tutorial wouldn't let you pass until you figured it out. I had to google it. For whatever reason, it was not the word I would have chosen. The word they chose makes complete sense in hindsight, but it's simply not the word that comes to mind to me.

I kept running into that again and again with Ruby and later with Rails. I just wasn't getting it. The documentation became very important for me to get anything done.
> Vaccines don't work stop the spread of the virus

They did stop the spread of the historic and alpha variant in Israel, with a 55-60% rate of vaccination (I mistakenly thought it was 70%, it was even lower). Before the onset of the delta wave, the virus was about to go extinct there.

You can check the graphs. May 11 2021, there were 4.66 new cases per million inhabitants. By June 9 it was down to 1.5. Compare with the surrounding countries, where the alpha wave lasted much longer, and was still lingering when the delta variant came around.

https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explor...

June 9 coincides with the point where the delta share crossed the 50% threshold.

https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explor...

But the global vaccine rollout was criminally slow.

I don't know how hospitals devise their COVID policy in the US... In France you need a "Sanitary pass" to access healthcare facilities. You must either provide a negative test taken in the last 24 hours, or a proof of some level of immunity (either up to date vaccination, or a COVID recovery certificate from less than 4 months).
You might want to study up on legal drafting & construction.

It IS possible to write laws that are reasonably broad without just saying "the agency will do whatever it wants here." Maybe it's not easy, but that's what the lawyers learn in law school.
No player runs code on the developer's server. They just send packets to it, just like my web browser sends packets to web servers. Nobody is trying to put anti-cheat software in my web browser.
Is your issue with lobotomies is that they are a crude, irreversible surgery that doesn't always work?

Now you understand the reticence towards gender reassignment surgery and why someone would be looking for much lower risk pharmaceutical treatments for gender dysphoria, which is exactly what we ended up doing with brain disorders?

It's worth noting that we still do brain surgery on people, and that we're even moving towards using implants to modulate how the brain functions, as opposed to the crude technique of severing parts their brain with rods jammed into their noses or holes drilled into their heads.

I have a feeling that we'll look back on this time when we cut off penises and inverted them into crude vagina like canals, jammed silicon bags full of salt water into chests and pumped people full of hormones as barbaric as the lobotomy era.

They're things that we do out of convenience because they're the best that we have, not because it's what we want to do.
It looks and writes similarly; some simple/small things will work in both - the std lib is very similar. However, it's statically typed (though, mostly/partitally interfered; aka sometimes you don't need to specify), and complied. If you love ruby, you should def check it out as it's super fast, and the learning curve is imho low.
What definition of “rootkit” are you using here? I’d consider myself fairly well-versed with rootkits, but don’t understand how game anticheats could reasonably be described as such.

Oh the flip side, if you told that story in an interview I'd hire you on the spot.
I've been streaming some of my side projects on Twitch, with OBS.

During the stream, I keep up a fairly constant spoken description of what I'm doing, what I'm thinking, what problem I'm stuck on, etc.

I've noticed I've also been speaking my thoughts out loud when programming, but not streaming. It ends up being a continuous "rubber duck" conversation, and feels (completely subjectively) like it helps me develop easier/better.

I'm going to post my unsolicited opinion about K8s here, as an SWE+SRE who used it heavily for about 1.5 years on GCP.

It's a very cool system. I completely understand why people half-jokingly call it a "distributed operating system." It does a lot of things related to the lifecycles of various state (secrets, storage, config, deployments, etc).

However, I believe it goes way too far into putting infrastructure into non-cloud-managed state machines. Things that exist in most modern clouds are being reinvented in K8s. What's more, is that K8s objects are being created as interfaces to the underlying cloud objects. So you now have 2 layers of abstractions, each with their own quirks. It's too much.

Not to mention that IaC for K8s is extremely immature. This will improve, yes, for some definition of "improve." But if you've ever written Helm charts that integrate with Terraform, you'll know about all the spinning plates you have to keep balanced.

It's not a system I see sustaining into the long term future. Google may continue to use and support it forever, but afaik, they are the most invested in its success. Other cloud platforms, like AWS, seem to be focusing on not re-inventing all of their cloud offerings in K8s.

For a few months I ran a simple Python keylogger to study my keyboard usage, in response to pain. Much later I found disk was filling up and traced it back to periodic screenshots, like every few minutes. It was a creepy feeling but also kind of fun to step back in time and see what I had been doing. Would've been more fun if it were during the days when I did 3D modeling and pixel art.
