I've started running and an unexpected challenge is boredom. The running is challenging as is, but doing it for ~1h30m has been, for me, well, tedious. I guess that's a byproduct of always being within arm's reach of a phone.

Also recommend Hubbard's How to Measure Anything. Background in social science & stats, so was familiar with the decision making logic before reading, but think the book is more straight forward than any other reference. (Similar in spirit is Tetlock's Superforecasters, but I think Hubbard will be easier for most people to relate to.)

My other mentions would be Algorithms to Live By (Christian and Griffiths), and Tufte's Visual Display of Quantitative Information (with a follow up of Doumont's Trees, Maps, and Theorems. Tufte I really enjoyed.

Is this what zero trust is supposed to protect against? It's weird to let everyone have free reign over critical infrastructure and data once you gain access to the network.

Are there any network security that uses AI to automatically detect and flag unusual behavior? For example, a regular developer doesn't need to port scan the entire network, the receptionist's computer doesn't need to log in to admin resources, support personnel doesn't need to access source code, etc. This should be possible to flag and let a human verify.
A) It taints the perception of the game beforehand. People look at an incredibly raw bit of gameplay footage and go "wow, this looks like trash!"

B) The guy who did the leaking apparently tried to sell the source code, which is just scummy and would likely result in significant retooling from the devs' side, which means time and effort wasted.

C) While I personally don't subscribe to the glamour and glitz, there is something nice about a clean rollout for something anticipated or a surprise release. I remember seeing the first trailer for Peele's Nope and being incredibly excited because I heard nothing about the movie prior to that. If it was leaked or the screenplay was floating around with spoilers, I'd be somewhat less enthused.
Why 8? Doesn’t there need to be a premium for borrowing money? If i can borrow money at zero percent inflation adjusted rate, that is a great deal and still inflationary. I would say 12 percent would be neutral on 10 percent inflation.
The article is a bit misleading I think, since the check only happens on startup; a lot of people won't start up new apps on the regular. Developers probably do though.
In the United States you're allowed to move wherever you want to move and you don't have to check in with "the locals" first to see if that's OK. It's always OK. And thank god for that. In every case where locals are able to direct policy they make absurd decisions that make everything worse for everybody.

If lots of people want to live in Brooklyn, then they should obviously be allowed to do that. And developers should obviously be allowed to respond to that demand by building housing.

The hacker also leaked 10k lines of source code on https://paste.ee which has now be removed. (Still visible if you go there using the cached version on Google).

Pretty crazy - kind of feels like back in the day when Half-Life 2 got leaked. (Video about the incident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKzkh5XD6WU)
Like all social media it values speed way more than anything else. Even on HN you’ll see it. Hundred page document gets posted, but the first comments will be from people who clearly couldn’t have read it.
The game industry used to believe that any press is good press, but not any more. These days, studios want to control what people see before a game comes out. If they show off some feature, it might change radically or even get dropped before launch, and then you have a bunch of people asking why it’s missing.

Whether you believe “any press is good press”, it’s clear the game industry doesn’t believe that.
> Not sure if people in Argentina or Chile would say they are using "Indian gauge" though...

Unless they are a train geek they wouldn't say that, and probably wouldn't even know it. To people into trains it is known as Indian broad gauge, but most people won't know about such details, nor do they have reason to care. Though I would hope the operators know this - it makes it easier to order trains when you can use the industry terms.
> But who is actually transacting on the Bitcoin network? No one. And I doubt anyone ever really will. When it comes to all transaction metrics, Bitcoin is horribly unscalable and expensive to transact on.

With lightning network Bitcoin scales to far greater magnitude than that, amongst other things it collapses the entire premise of the article.
If you want to watch basically the same information deducted in similar matter in video format, presented by a mathematician who makes hilarious youtube videos with very high production value, you’re in luck!

Matt parker made a video on this topic, and it’s great:

It will not give you not a lot more information than you can find in this blog post (though it relates it to a stock market crash triggered by high frequency trading bots doing basically the same thing), but it’s highly entertaining.

Do you have concerns that this will trap the billions of very poor in permanent destitution? Do you see a way to stop global growth and raise these people out of poverty? Global per capita gdp is 10k. From a first glance, even if we established a global government that redistributed wealth, no one will be living well - at least by modern standards.
My maxed-out 2019 16" MBP was always a dog. The 2016-2019 Intel MBPs suffered from an inability to cool themselves (esp. with dual external displays) and were just overly complex. I think the combination of the Intel CPU, discrete GPU, and T1/T2 controller just made for an overly complex and crash prone system. Mine had this weird issue where touchpad and keyboard input would periodically experience some kind of deadlock. I could trigger this using the calculator app. Enter 42, +, 23, and press =. The results would not show up until I would move the mouse or tap a key on the keyboard.

I traded the 2019 MBP for a 14" M1 Pro as soon as I could and haven't looked back. This machine is great.
I think something like what you're wishing for will happen, but I don't think it will come from Adobe.

I explored a bunch of apps in this category over the weekend and was pretty impressed with what's out there, although it still feels early. Rive (https://rive.app/) is probably the one I'm most excited about; their state-machine approach is novel (at least to me) and feels like a solid approach. Unfortunately they don't support text yet, which is a deal-breaker for what I wanted to do, but they say it's coming.

The Lottie (https://airbnb.design/lottie/) ecosystem is also interesting. Funny enough, Adobe still seems to dominate as a pipeline for generating Lottie files (Illustrator -> After Effects), even though you need a third-party plugin to do it.
Social engineering attacks are destructive not just because of the data that is compromised but also because it makes us paranoid of interacting with others and forces us to adopt increasingly anti-social practices.

Amazing feat. Also makes you wonder what he was thinking for 24 hours through the solitude— the mental toughness and… the boringness.
for anyone downvoting, I started off in javascript and was a nodejs dev for 8 years before I expanded my toolset. Its a fine language for a lot of situations but its not the end all be all. Just calling out the fact that a lot of devs out there learn JS and never go beyond it.
It was announced already, but I think the issue is that the leaked footage was very rough. I’ve seen a lot of comments from gamers saying they expected it to be further along and more polished, but it’s likely that either the footage is older or they’re not focusing on in engine visuals yet.

Either way, I think the issue from Rockstars perspective is that it’s not a good indication of the game and might contain character, features, and gameplay which won’t end up in the final game. They likely want to control what goes out much more to avoid too much hype or expectations too early on.
> it's worth noting that it takes orders of magnitude more effort to fight against lies and misinformation than it does to create them

How could this possibly be true. If that were the case then you could simply lie to a person until they accept a more reasonable position. Instead of using facts and evidence to support your position just lie to them and make stuff up. The fact that you cling to evidence in your arguments (I assume) means you don't really believe lying will sway people to your perspective.

> We've seen this exact thing play out on every social network.

We haven't. It may be true but that data is not available to us. These could be bots, they could be new converts (with the old ones de-converting), they could be paid propagandists, or trolls. It could just be the algorithm promoting people who create engagement. These people could be incredibly rare but incredibly prominent on the platform.

When are you going to be affected by this theory? Are you swayed by lies and misinformation? Do you cling to beliefs in the face of fact and evidence? Are you undeserving of the right to speak because of it? Why should you have been allowed to leave this comment? You have not been vetted to make these statements.
People from the individualist perspective almost always argue for its overall social utility, that the benefits of invididual rights and freedoms have negative and positive social effects that net positive. I've never heard one (and I've heard many) argue that the net social effects are negative but that the policy is still preferrable.
I queue up podcasts or audio-books and use it as uninterrupted me time, though I do find audio-books harder to listen to on 2+ hour runs just because my mind tends to wander by that point. I find that podcasts are easier to mentally tune in and out of.
Month to month inflation has been flat or near flat for some months now. It’s seems like we had a price spike in December/Jan for various reasons and now things have stabilized.

>As long as there is a good single player campaign in GTA VI I'll buy it pretty much immediately when it's available

Same here. I used to game a lot in high school and college, then I stopped. The only thing that ever gets me to fire up the console again is a new release of GTA and a new release of CoD (provided the story is good and not some futuristic crap).

Last time was when the Modern Warfare reboot was released in 2019. The 2nd part is coming this year, so it looks I will be playing it as soon as it is available. Same with GTA VI, although I guess that will be a lot longer from now, given this hack.
This can't be true, it just can't.

Huh, I wonder if this is a temporary limitation or an issue with the approach. In my experience if you're doing profiling you probably better off getting something lighter weight that you can get more honest numbers from.

Edit: reading closer, it looks like the go team had similar concerns. I wonder if this can capture how long a goroutine was unmounted for.
How much weight did he lose? It's quite amazing how calorie dense our energy storage mechanisms are.
Worker Co-Ops aren't a new concept but I think in the USA it's taboo because it gets in the general vicinity of "Communism" so people are wary. I always thought it was disturbing that Americans can simultaneously preach about their love of Freedom, shouting Freedom this Freedom that and yet subject themselves to an essentially Authoritarian/Dictatorial workplace for 8+ hours a day with no qualms. Apparently Democracy only goes as far as the front door of your office and is dropped off there until you clock out. Quite strange.

As poster above mentioned fundraising is a major challenge. Seems like debt is your only option if you want to keep the thing 100% employee owned. Bootstrapped businesses are of course a thing and can scale to Unicorn level but at a much slower pace than a VC backed startup.
Well it's not like there is shortage of great schools in California. Basically anything in the UC system is great, there obviously Stanford and USC as well. But certainly Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB are all world class and UCI, UCSC, UCR and UCD are nothing to sneeze at either. Cal State also has some great programs particularly in Engineering at Poly San Luis Obispo

As far as the degree itself it really depends on what you want to do. Work in a business? MBA will be fine, work as an Engineer? Get an MS. Be a Lecturer at a CC? Any Master's will probably work.

Ah. The W6800 has a very different set of features and performance characteristics. The Radeon VII is a better choice than the W6800 for some workloads, so it's not a clear upgrade for someone like yourself.
This doesn't actually imply that it's running an online notarization check on every launch. An offline signature check is different.
> I don't know how that author identified the most prolific reviewer at the time but I found one reviewer with 20.8k reviews since 2011. That's just under 3,000 reviews per year, which comes out to around 8 per day. This man has written an average of 8 reviews on Amazon per day, all of the ones I see about books, every day for seven years. I thought it might be some bot account writing fake reviews in exchange for money, but if it is then it's a really good bot because Grady Harp is a real person whose job matches that account's description. And my skimming of some reviews looked like they were all relevant to the book, and he has the "verified purchase" tag on all of them, which also means he's probably actually reading them.

sounds a lot more like the guy has hired a staff of reviewers that he pays to post under his name (and he obviously could be receiving money from publishers or hired publicity companies to do so) , rather than he is an insane person reading 3000 books a year. Not so much "insane" as "has yet another shady internet business".

The amount of events posted on twitter that aren't covered by traditional news is staggering. If anything twitter has exposed how much main stream news doesn't cover real major events. If not for twitter I don't think the #MeToo or #Occupy movement would of ever been acknowledged. Also the amount of abuse the police do to citizens.

Do you mean x86 rather than Intel? Which is mostly AMD today, datacenter-wise. Intel doesn't have competitive products, only an inertia they have been losing at a worrying pace.

Intel has shown an interest in RISC-V, and will likely be pivoting to that. They're well aware x86 is unsustainable, requiring several times the effort (=investment) to simply remain competitive with the RISC competitors.
About ten years ago Adobe made a strategic decision to kill Flash.

They stopped working on ActionScript tools (Flash IDE, AS3 compiler, etc) and switched all their web designer tooling (web animations etc) to Javascript. For a while they kept pushing out Flash security updates, but only because they had an enormous existing install base - but even so, that happened with a skeleton crew, and I'm not sure it's still being maintained.

So yeah, there's nothing stopping them now - because they already stopped years ago.

This leak is a real big shame. I feel most sorry for the Rockstar employees who have had their work shared prematurely and are now likely to face more resistance to working remotely.

I work in the VFX/animation industry. This was typically an industry that outright forbade working anywhere but a “secure” office.

COVID helped to change that and people now have a lot more flexibility, but it only takes a few leaks like this to make things go backwards.

I’m not saying that this leak was caused by a rouge employee, but events like this will likely trigger questions about everything from network security to remote working.

> GNOME has kind of always been on the opposite end of the configurability spectrum from KDE, IME.

which gets weird, when they push on you things like:

- opening WiFi-portals in whatever crap browser your distro ships with GTK. Executing random JS code in the process.

- make XWayland startup absolutely inconfigurable and hardcoded in C (or was it Vala) and for whatever reason MAKE IT LISTEN ON ABSTRACT SOCKETS (which no Xconfig anywhere else does)! (problem here: if any user-namespace container shares your network namespace and you do a naive xhost +SI:localuser:user - it works for any container, because abstract sockets are not stowed away in the filesystem).

At least the first issue I'd like to report, but don't know how and where...
