This completely unsympathetic and unempathetic comment elides the root problem: it isn’t that Apple exercises strict oversight over its App Store, it’s that 1) that oversight is applied inconsistently, and 2) they do not provide transparency into the specifics of their oversight. This whole situation could have been avoided if the reviewers had been specific about what they took issue with, instead of wasting valuable developer time.

That you are blaming a fellow developer is most unbecoming.
Ah you need to go to the discord first and request access because it's still beta. They seem pretty quick to respond, I got access in about 5 minutes.

Neither Diablo 3 nor PoE are really good comparisons for me to Diablo 2 as it stands today.

At least in the most important aspect for me. Itemization.

Diablo 3 is a game that I play every few seasons for a week after ladder reset and then stop because I have a BiS item set (if you ignore Ancient/Primal Items, which just arent fun for me, as its just "same item, just minimally better").

PoE on the other hand just goes into the completely opposite direction and you need to basically be a full-time twitch streamer to do everything in game (or be one of the 0.01% of the playerbase that has the game fully figured out including crafting/trading)

Not to mention that in PoE I can never actually relax when I play endgame.
I love Diablo 2 for being able to farm some items after work and not have to on edge everywhere.

I tried playing PoE on my Steam Deck last league and I just stopped after a while because I would die all the time because I didnt see some random mob that would one-shot me on the small screen.
Should we manage to annihilator ourselves with nuclear weapons, it will be proof that we didn’t expend all our resources on killing each other.

Over 13,000 nuclear warheads exist today and nothing is more crazy than that.
Is it phone specific? None of this works on LG phones
No, because the merge in itself does not create new value, it simply splits existing value in two. So 1 old PoW ETH today will be worth (say) 0.9 PoS ETH and 0.1 PoW ETH tomorrow.

To be clear, that's the theory, reality is a little more complicated. This happened earlier with ETH and ETC, as well as BTC and a whole bunch of forks, and in practice there was always a bit of "value" created from thin air, at least temporarily, with original + fork > original before fork.
Yes, PE format is quite flexible.
I've always thought that the ability to communicate to other humans about programs and to be able to synthesize a conceptual understanding from looking at code are highly valuable and sometimes-overlooked in the workplace. Assignments to write a function don't really demonstrate either skill.

Maybe more assignments like:

- "Here is a function that is supposed to generate a fibonacci sequence, but it is not correct, explain why"

- Here is a sort function. What is the name of the algorithm implemented by this sort function?

The reality of any career in CS is going to involve a lot of maintenance/understanding of existing code any systems. Copilot's failure to replace all human programmers isn't because of it's inability to cough up complex code, it's because it can't communicate with the product owner, debug a program amidst a time-sensitive incident, or explain its work.
It's not the IDE adds difficult to read code. It's that it makes it easy to write difficult to read code. This is particularly visible in the Java world. For example, the practice of dropping interfaces in front of everything never would have seemed reasonable if you didn't have an IDE that could do that with the click of a button, and the ability to quickly click through an interface to an implementation makes it relatively painless to work with. However, a person without access to an IDE is forced to use text searches to find implementations and has to keep in their head how all these interfaces and classes are organized. Similarly, IDEs make using complex method signatures tolerable with parameter hinting, makes finding method overrides trivial, and autocompletes all those long similar-sounding names like FooFactoryBuilderFacadeAdapter.

In contrast, a developer writing code with a plain editor needs to remember everything and when that becomes difficult, the developer will be forced to either simplify things or encapsulate the complexity so they can forget about it. That code base will be easier to read without tooling because it was built to be understood that way. The developer also has to write each bit by hand, which gives time and motivation to wonder whether what they are writing is necessary.

I could make a similar argument in the other direction as well. Code written by hand tends not to get refactored as much, tends to use too short variable names because of typing laziness, or inappropriate names because renaming variables is not trivial as it is in an IDE. I see the advantages of both, and I find myself preferring the sweet spot of intelligent editors that stop short of knowing everything about your code base.
Remember (P)NaCl? Or WebSQL? Google has a bad reputation for pushing poorly designed web "standards".

Thanks to Mozilla we then got asm.js, wich evolved into Wasm and ultimately replaced NaCl.

Now imagine there was one engine and Google could implement whatever they wanted? RIP privacy and well-designed standards.
It is not like you have enough shelters and/or mental hospitals for all those people anyway, and you certainly don't have anyone paying for admitting homeless people to a hospital.

I think what your experience shows is that food is not that hard to come by in the US, the local shelter or soup kitchen may have sandwiches that are superior to yours. Pizza once in a while is way cheaper than a home, not to mention access to medical care, so they get the luxury they can afford.
How do you feel about Hotwire in comparison (or someone else)?
Those two things don’t cancel each other out.

The art being recorded on a blockchain or not doesn’t matter - what you’re selling in an NFT is a signature not the art. An NFT is a decoupling of the art and the signature, because digital art is infinitely reproducible. The NFT introduces scarcity - but only for an authentic signature (which can’t be faked) not the digital art itself.

And want you’re saying is not necessarily true - my understanding is that some markets do place the art on IPFS, but I’d have to look into it’s exact working to know for sure.

But I believe for the old Hic et Nunc that was the case.

In this particular case - it is better than a standard contract because the previous method of authenticating work is hugely expensive for the artist and has immense gatekeeping. Minting an NFT takes 30 seconds. Getting you work into an art gallery takes months if not years of battling and requires other people to make the decision whether they want your art in their sales space or not. In crypto you can just do it yourself and figure out your own personal authentication method (usually twitter).
I would prefer recommending an openat-style solution where possible.

Having a single global root is in fact bad. Having paths be relative some origin is good. DOS was, in a funny way, ahead of the curve.

https://www.kicad.org - It seems to be pretty popular for doing this kind of design. As for learning resources, maybe someone else can answer. I studied CMPE 20 years ago before switching to CS, I'm sure there are better resources out there now for learning (and, in particular, for self-study) than what I could possibly recommend (even if I could remember book titles).

when i was interviewing candidates this was the fastest way to filter those who understood and those who didnt.

ask someone to talk you through how to solve some real-life problem. to look at a stack trace and describe what they see, or to run a profile and trace through the cause of a hotspot/contention. show them an issue and have them live debug to root-cause and fix. it's okay if they use the internet, SO, etc. -- that's how we all do it. see what they have to look up! just listening to the amount of depth someone can verbally communicate during novel problem solving (including additional questions they ask you) turns a 60min interview that wastes time into a 10min one that tells you if you can move on.

a favorite one of mine was to ask the candidate to describe in as much detail as possible what happens between a keystroke typed into a google search box and the search results appearing. the diversity of replies is facinating. some will tell you "google returns results from its database", others will ask you if you want them to first describe how the keyboard works at an electrical level through the USB or bluetooth driver stack.

I have been greatly enjoying writing a side project in phoenix/liveview. It's fun, works well, community is welcoming, etc.

Previously I was writing side projects with Go APIs and react, and compared to that, this is miles ahead. I love not having to worry about creating a REST endpoint for every single interaction.

Also, I really like Ecto. It hits the sweet spot for an ORM of not too much magic and a lot of convenience.

I wonder whether it would be possible to design a political system which could oscillate between 'war' vs 'peace' conditions, without it being an emergency solution.

Another interesting point is Switzerland after 1848.

They had a very small-scale civil war which made them rethink their political structure.

Or the Austrian empire in 1866, which lost a major war against Prussia and was forced to reform itself into a dual Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Which was somewhat more competitive and liberal than its predecessor and if it avoided other wars, it might in some form survive until today.
Type the assignment into google and press enter vs type it as a comment and press tab?

Seems roughly the same amount of effort, and since Copilot is not free anymore most students won't bother paying for access on any kind of scale that matters. Whoever was going to cheat will cheat regardless.

Besides it's one of those "you won't have a calculator with you everyday" fallacies. If you can solve problems with Copilot in class you can also do it at your job later on.
Yes, we need to take massive action now with what we have, while also developing future tech like better transport for solar energy. Pushing for further delays based on “future tech will save us someday” isn’t anything I support. It’s disheartening but unsurprising that some factions are framing it as either/or instead of both/and.

Interesting background about Lomborg, thank you!

Lost among this debate is that Virginia Key is some incredibly desirable real estate.

By having the homeless encampment there, it allows the long-term zoning laws governing it to change, which means that in a few years, the homeless will be kicked out and the developers will move in and build a mammoth complex rivaling 10Thousand Museum, Miami World Center, Aston Martin Tower, etc...

The county commissioner who pushed this, Joe Carallo, is a real estate guy first and foremost and is in the back pocket of the major developers who run the political scene in Miami.

The whole point of this move is to change zoning laws. Everything else is theater disguised as people pretending to give a shit about the homeless.

One cynical take I can come up with after spending some time on the Tesla forums: Teslas are enjoyable to drive, but buying a Tesla is a quality crapshoot. Rather than roll the dice and see if the particular Tesla you purchase is one of the ones that’s fine or one of the ones that’s in the shop constantly, you can subscribe and if you get a dud, swap it for another. Dealing with the quality issues is Autonomy’s problem, not the individual driver’s problem.

Still doesn’t seem worth Autonomy’s prices to me though.
I do want to say that, those criteria exclude neurodivergent folk (who for many reasons may have never even been diagnosed).

Honestly I think moving away from grades is going to be the way forward. Part of this is also making university, etc cheaper so you’re not financially incentivized to not take a class one, or multiple more times.
>While I do welcome a company like Amazon getting into the pharmacy space and using their power to lower drug costs, the potential for abuse is too great.

Unless Amazon was spending to R&D new medicine, lobbying to reduce patent lengths, or constructing their own manufacturing facilities, there was no margin to be had here.

Walmart/Costco/CVS/Walgreens already have the dispensing of medicines to public down to single digit profit margins.
Yes. The cost of providing the service only factors indirectly into the price charged: via competition.
In computer class back in 9th grade there were one or two exams about Excel, where we were to use excel to compute some of the answers for questions. The fact that "memorization questions" (if that's the right English term?) about several functions and concepts were on the same exam sheet and that the Excel help function was right there was something that seemingly slipped the teacher's mind.

Although he was an older physics teacher who only really did computer class ("Informatik") because there was nobody else available or (more) qualified to do the job.
When later on there were classes on programming, he made us use TurboPascal instead of something less cluttered and actually useful in modern economy like Python.

That same teacher later on performed some show experiments about induction and electromagnetic forces in physics class where he let a magnet fall through a glass tube with several copper coils around it. So far so good, but he then tried to readjust one of the coils one the glass tube, which predictably shattered in his hands, nearly severing some fingers and actually severing some tendons, which IIRC were later replaced with other tendons from his legs or something. Needless to say, not the sharpest tool in the shed.

My other physics teacher during 10th-12th grade physics classes was a severely esoteric nutjob, preferring to hold long rants about "science" being able to diagnose diseases in people by somehow shining a laser at a drop of their blood and interpreting the reflection/refraction because there was a "connection" between the person and their blood (or something like that, I honestly tuned out his ravings after a while). Apparently his wife is/was some kind of homeopathic "healer".

All that is to say, computer and physics class teachers for me were "very fun" and "useful", since one did not have a clue that their students were "cheating" and both were not very in tune with modern and/or scientific methods.
I hate to interrupt a good rant, but Lego has a site literally called https://ideas.lego.com/ where they crowdsource new designs, and the most popular ones actually get turned into real Lego sets.

In layered systems, there's a hierarchy of layers. Bitcoin is a layer 1 money protocol. Visa is level 8 (not literally), i.e. it is built on top of layers upon layers, which are built on top of US dollar and even that might not be the base layer yet. If we were in a gold standard, gold would be the base layer for US dollar, and the systems on top of it.

Layered systems tend to naturally converge into a single base layer, and the higher layers are more sprawling and dynamic.

...what? how? That's insane.
Those are all great questions. I honestly don’t expect rich media to be stored on chain for a long, long time - not unless some Pied Piper type solution shows up!

On monetisation structures - no idea, the only thing blockchain does is build a permissionless system where people will be able to experiment wildly with different models. Like Jobs said when he launched the iPhone “I’m excited about the stuff we don’t know about” more than what’s out there now (Ethereum being at best now a rough Beta project).

Certainly the monetisation of digital art has changed a lot of what some of my favourite 3D artists have been doing - they no longer compete for likes on Instagram (worthless) but actively promote their NFTs from which they can make good money out of. They are producing the exact same kind of output - digital art - but NFTs are quietly taking over the whole space and changing the whole economic structure.
The analogy makes sense if you’re implying that it’s a monodeploy of apps - all on the same “plot of land”.

I’ve never used the language, so no feedback to the value of the claim, but that metaphor does resonate.
Exactly what I was thinking.

Better to make it highly deadly or entirely hidden (with the warnings to be uncovered if you start excavating).
Alkyl halides (carbon chains with halogens off of them) can be alkylating agents - basically they can bond to molecules within your body and if it's things like DNA, can cause mutations and other bad stuff.

Nitrogen mustards (highly reactive alkyl halides) are used in chemotherapy. They basically damage DNA which is used to kill off fast reproducing cancer cells (but they also kill off normal cells).

I was a little surprised when I first saw the structure of sucralose. Chlorides aren't that reactive (bromides and iodides are much more reactive), but a person might consume grams of sucralose so concentrations are high.

That said, many experiments have been done and sucralose isn't reactive at all. Due to the shape of the molecule and steric interactions, the chlorines are very difficult to knock off.

I wouldn't be concerned with taking it.
Everything you have written is completely logical. My brain knows that most spiders are harmless, and have zero interest in humans, and that dying from a spider bite is rare.

On one hand I think they are beautiful and fascinating, and on the other hand I am completely repulsed at the thought of a spider being in my house. Not only that, but if I see a spider before or while I am eating I am unable to eat. I know how irrational that is.

We generally leave our porch light off so as not to attract bugs (because they are food for spiders), but recently it was left on for whatever reason. When my son opened the door a medium-sized wolf spider ran inside and stopped. Just as my son was about to step on it I noticed that it was a mother carrying many baby spiders on her back. Stepping on her could have been a disaster.

I watched as he coaxed her into an empty cereal box. I was close enough to see her babies moving and shifting on her back. Once secured inside the box we had a choice to make. Set her free out in the yard somewhere or into the toilet. After a brief conversation we decided that a watery grave would prevent her offspring from entering our house in the future.

Events like this take up too much space in my head. This is the only thing I am afraid of. I am not afraid of snakes and the usual other suspects. Just spiders. I am mostly unafraid of granddaddy longlegs spiders, and will sometimes liberate them, sans a leg or two, from feline captivity.

Anyway, I do not even remember what my point was now..but your experience is certainly interesting to me as I have, at times, considered learning my way out of this fear I have. I really admire that you are now able to handle these little creatures and even enjoy them! I would love to feel unafraid instead of literally terrified. I am actually sweating now after recalling that spider incident above.

> ...making things that are beautiful and glorify humanity...

Oh really? In an ugly and cruel world where humans are terrible to each other, you demand a lie and to glorify the undeserving? Perhaps you think the point of art is to make you feel good? I think what you are looking for is entertainment, there is plenty of that.

You are partially right that what is celebrated as art reflects on (wealthy) society but it is also an expression of perception of reality by the artist which resnoates with those who appreciate it. Perhaps not everyone finds fake portrayals of beauty appealing but many find enjoyment in the beauty of truth as they see it in their reality?
