>I really do believe that excessive digitisation of society is trading personal autonomy (freedom, privacy) for some kind of perceived convenience.

The convenience is not perceived, it's real and measurable, that's why people in many countries love going digital voluntarily. The time saved from doing stuff off my phone or PC instead of sitting in line at government offices means more free time to do what I like. Paying contactless means lines at the supermarket last 30 seconds instead of 3 minutes or more and I can catch the train instead of missing it because 3 people in front of me are still counting their change. The gains are real, not perceived.

And what extra freedom do you have from not going digital? If the government wants to screw you, like the trucker protestors in Canada, they'll just lock your bank accounts and you loose access to all your fund including ability to pay rent, regardless if you're digital or not. So what then? How many days can you go with just the 60€ in your wallet and no acces to your bank account. Unless you're the kind of person to keep all your money under the mattress (which I doubt you are but maybe you'll surprise me) you gained absolutely nothing from that while everyone loses all the convenience. The only ones who gain are business owners commiting tax fraud or people doing other illegal activities, which I condemn, and a cash free society would make them unable to doge taxes anymore making it fair for everyone.

>Holding Austria back from what?

Holding it back from money and jobs from one of the most lucrative international business sectors in the world (why do you think SV/California is so rich?). Holding it back from technological progress generating said jobs. Holding it back from highly skilled immigrants who are looking to work in this sector and will pay high taxes which support the government and population, but instead go to work somewhere else.

Interesting nonetheless, thanks for sharing!

Slightly related: I've decided to stop using suncreen altogether for day-to-day sun exposure. My mood and overall sense of happiness increased significantly – in fact, it seemed to have helped more than my antidepressants ever did. (My libido did not increase but my antidepressants are pretty much libido killers.)
If it helps, I think both twitter and musk are two turds. I like seeing turds suffer and harming each other. Best outcome for my personal satisfaction would be twitter gets dragged for years in the courts and loses tons of money and at the end musk is forced to pay that billion dollars or however much the break clause is. Both side can go f themselves.

Please re-read the context of the conversation you're replying to - if Godot is not targeting the same market as Unreal, then you're agreeing with my point, not disagreeing. I'll recap anyway.

> Unreal is winning the technical race because they ship projects and games themselves with their engine.

> Godot is definitely going to win the race long term

> what has Godot done to warrant it?

---

It's been open source for around a year. It doesn't take a genius to figure out it's not ready for prime-time, and does not have a community built around it yet. You're also dodging the question of what the biggest game built in Godot was, considering Godot has been around for so much longer.

Deadhaus Sonata is using O3DE, and already looks bigger than any game on the Godot showcase page.

> O3DE was a code drop

With mostly Amazon working on it currently, it's got around the same LoC changes being made to it currently. There's others working on it too, and as more games start using this engine (announced just over a year ago, mind you), the contributors will increase. Games take a long time to even announce - a few years after the start of the project is the typical time-frame. This excludes indie games that Godot typically targets of course.
Why do you like this device so much?
That's hardly a counterargument. GP said you were high all the time, that's different from being addicted. There is some overlap, depending on the substance, but also significant difference. Think of nicotine, caffeine (addictive, but no high) vs psilocybin (high but arguably not addictive).

No, I wasn't on medication at the time, couldn't get a script. I was looking for possible replacements, and a few psychedelics(LSD and 2C-B to name a couple) have psychostimulant properties. The idea was to try a few different regimens:

True microdose alone: no noticable effect on concentration, and some worsening.

Subpsychedelic yet strong enough doses to have stimulant effects: significant effect, but working memory was somewhat impaired. Impulsivity also increased.

Various conventional but obscure RC stimulants: some were highly effective, even more so than D-amp or mph. But it wasn't possible to rule out long term cardiotoxic effects like valvulopathy, so I didn't stick to them for safety reasons.

Then I did some limited trials with said stims + a true microcode, this just made me extremely scatterbrained and I quickly discontinued.

Eventually I decided even if I found something, which I had, I couldn't safely use it long term anyway. I cleaned up my act long enough to get real meds.
Go to shroomery.org - your best bet is to learn how to grow them. It's an awesome hobby in general, and you can grow non-psychedelic mushrooms as well if you just want to get the hang of it.

>Conservative voices are a bit suppressed in some places, like on Campus.

I think it's a bit misleading though. Who would goto college and listen to somebody repeat ad nauseum their parent's conservative talking points they've already heard their entire lifes? Or listen to someone even more radically conservative than their parents?

Also a lot of those "suppressed" people were just openly bigoted and claiming to feel persecuted when they're not allowed to persecute people they don't like.

Microdosing is great but not for everyone. It can actually increase your anxiety if you take too high a dose. Personally, I take a micro dose of LSD every other Friday, drink a cup of coffee and hit the gym. It does wonders. And definitely not addicting.

Kindness first, always. Maintaining an OSS project will push your personal growth to a new limit.

- be direct: I do not wish to have that feature in the project.

- explain: the vision of the project is xyz. This feature you’re requesting does not fit in the vision because abc. I don’t think it belongs here as it will become a maint burden and a distraction from the goal.

- encouragement: if you do think you’d find value, i would encourage you to fork the code. I’d be willing to give you a few pointers on how to implement, but that’s the extent I’m willing to provide help for free.

- disengage: do not argue. Do not create personal attacks, and ignore any thrown your way. If they persist, link back to the original explanation so everything is in one place.

- be willing to be wrong. Sometimes people’s rudeness makes us respond with obstinacy. If you can calm the situation to a civil discussion, do consider their viewpoint and alleged benefits.
Certainly this sounds like an issue for you and your company, but I don't see why it is an issue for the project and its maintainers. Many companies enter into support contracts with vendors whose solutions they adopt to avoid this very problem. The solution seems simple to me, your company should seek a support contract with the vendor, and if that is not possible, find a different solution for which they can. It is unreasonable to expect anything, especially in a business sense, from anyone who you are not paying to support you.

Amusingly enough American McGee’s name sounded like a studio to me when I bought the game; only later did I realize it was a guy.
The study participants tried psilocybin (mushrooms) for microdosing (low dosing actually); but it seems to me that the more common practice is to use LSD for microdosing, at least according to the references #1,2,3 in the paper.

Making a regular api
Regarding your point B, the current US government guidelines that the current article rails against as not being scientific enough actually say:

> The core recommendations of the Guidelines state that a healthy diet for all Americans should include vegetables, fruits, grains (half of which should be whole grains), low or non-fat dairy, and a variety of protein foods, including seafood, lean meats and poultry, eggs, legumes (beans and peas), and nuts, seeds, and soy products. Further, Americans are told to keep saturated fat content below 10% of calories (why the DGA recommends lean meat and low or non-fat dairy), added sugars below 10% of calories, and salt below 2300mg per day.

So they don't seem particularly out of line with the diet of your bushmen:

> The Bushmen are hunter-gatherers, 75% of their diet consists of vegetable, including berries, walnuts, roots and melons, that are mainly harvested by women; while the remaining 25% is made up of meat that is hunted by men who hunt, using poisoned arrows and spears.

(It's not clear how those percentages are measured, volume, weight, calories?)

And the general advice around the world is "eat less red meat, especially processed meat" which seems remarkably tame compared with the anti-meat jihad that some people seem to think is occuring.

e.g. https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/food-types/meat-nutrit...

> Meat is a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals in your diet. However, if you currently eat more than 90g (cooked weight) of red or processed meat a day, the Department of Health and Social Care advises that you cut down to 70g.

Does that study only look at zoo animals? I would assume carnivorous animals get far more exercise when they have to hunt, chase, and kill their food than when it’s given to them.

As far as the versioning goes, the prevailing wisdom seems to be that it just isn't needed on graphql apis - on graphql.org they say the best practice is to avoid breaking changes. [1]

That said, versioning of a graphql api has been done at scale before. Shopify has done it, using versioning in the URL, specifically their admin data api, using month-year release dates as the versions [2]

There's similar issues with computer security and having projects reviewed before being shipped, with the classic story of people avoiding review because they didn't think they needed it at the start of their project (not that they're qualified to determine that) and by the time someone told them about it, it was "too late" and they'd miss important deadlines by going through the requisite review.

The only sane solution I've seen to that is to make everything go through security review, even if the review is a simple "we don't need to review this." If everyone knows everything needs review, it makes it very hard to forget about it and incentivizes people to involve security folks with their projects ASAP in the hopes of getting review done early on / avoiding being blocked by it.

You'll always need exceptions to the rule, so you can have some sufficiently high up VP or similar sign off on releasing things without review (and with the caveat that it's still going to get reviewed, it just won't block release), but that's a lot easier to manage than dealing with random developers deciding it for themselves.

It also helps a lot to have a culture where developers learn about security too, but just like researchers and ethics, they'll have perverse incentives to downplay/ignore risks so you still need other, differently incentivized people, to enforce "checks and balances."

It sounds like IRBs are not designed to review all or even most (animal?) experiments and I think that's unfortunate. It seems like a win for everyone if we get better ethics coverage.
Yes, if it causes things to shift, the tool shows every page red. This tool is meant to be ran in the final phase of typesetting, the moment when you want to focus attention on details (e.g. spacing).
ImageMagick's `compare` can do this as well, on a pixel-level.

The issue is that in some cases, for example when the change is that a long sentence has been inserted in the middle of the document, the following headline and some of the first paragraph of the following section move to the next page. Then everything that follows is just marked red and the diff becomes useless.

Something that fascinated me with Russians is how they go out of their way to get every bit of sunlight. I mean, they act like sunflowers, even standing to face the sun and open their arms on the beach, and orienting themselves towards it. They'll go to the beach at ungodly hot hours and stay under the sun, in Tunisia, during summer!

It is amazing because I'm really dark and dark skinned, I'm also native of the region (Algeria), and even then, I'll protect myself and stay in the shade because I'll get sunburnt very easily if I don't take precautions. They're fair skinned and they're not as cautious. It's just incredible.
This is interesting. I've been eating only once per day ever since I started feeding myself, but not because of a conscious plan. I just can't handle any more, unless I also engage in very physical activity. To answer the other comment, the size of that one meal is the same as anyone else's ordinary dinner, not larger.

And I do indeed seem to be enjoying better overall health than a lot of people my age or even 10 years younger. They're all starting to complain about their knees and backs and they're on various medications and I have none of that yet.

Of course you can't read much into that by itself, and I'm not going to write my entire life's details here, but still it doesn't conflict with the theory either.

I'm also very thin. Thinner than most people probably want to be, especially males, at least Americans.
Seriously if you think that IRBs are anywhere near the top 100 of things that are strangling academia I'd like your job. There are so many other issues that are so much more important that, let's fix those first.

AWS re:Invent was awesome last year but I'm not planning to go to any conferences this year.

I really hope the social environment this year is not a repeat of the last two years with lockdowns, masking and vaccine booster mandates.
As you stated, if there is no social element to the conference, then it's better to watch at home.

“Clearly” as in the text does technically appear on the page. In my experience using the site my impression is that they would rather think I think of everything as being sold by Amazon.

> narrative games haven't been really mainstream until relatively recently

Interested in your take on this since my perspective is exactly the opposite.

For me narrative games were part of the mainstream triad (arcade vs simulator vs narrative) in the 90s/early 00s until the open-world-sandbox sidequest-filled games took over the SP narrative-ish niche. Even before the 90s RPGs and IF (back then known as "text adventures") were all the rage in the non-console-gaming world (which was large, at least here in Europe).

There's a reason Kojima is such a celebrity in the genre, and that's MGS1 (from 1998) which would probably go unnoticed nowadays.

Now that I mention 1998 that was a huge year for narrative-driven games: Half-Life, Grim Fandango, Zelda: OOT, MGS1, Final Fantasy 7, Resident Evil 2... What a year!

I'm no longer that into in SP games. Does your post imply the pendulum is changing directions? Can you recommend some titles?
