I feel absolutely the same... about taking a walk. That seems incredibly pointless, as you say.

However, if I jog the same route, I burn X kcal, and after dieting for a while, I know how much X is, weighed in food. Very tasty food, this long into a diet. That makes it incredibly easy to instead go for that jog.

It's incredibly weird. I can also take a 1h walk no problem to go buy milk at a shop 30min away. That ticks a box, so it's a Job Well Done for my brain.
A great deal of why anyone still cares about Flash is the huge amount of amateur animations & games that were made with it.

Much (most?) of that was made with pirated copies. Is there a way to use Animate for free?

I doubt Flash would have been half as prominent, nor that we'd care about it half as much today as we still do, if they'd had some kind of perfect, flawless DRM on it.
Ha: I appreciate having to give it the stupid backwards name because that's what MS did, but unfortunately it's still a stupid backwards name.

>It would cost them much less than 20B to develop a Figma clone and just offer it as part of their suite, they wouldn't have an issue positioning it in the market.

But they are buying existing market share, existing tech and existing talent. It makes sense on multiple levels. It's always easier to buy something than to build it yourself from the ground up.

For example Zuck could've built Facebook's standalone mobile photo sharing app but Instagram was already much ahead with technology, market share(userbase) and mobile photo sharing brand.

Back in the 1970s, I was very interested in chess. When I should have been doing my topology homework, I'd instead waste time pouring over MCO (Modern Chess Openings) studying the hundreds of variations that worked or didn't worked based on historical games. It was really no fun trying to memorize these variations. It took so long setting up boards, following lines, and trying to figure out how the game strategy would change depending on an opponents moves.

For a mediocre player like myself, the advent of chess software that understands the game at a deep GM level has made studying chess fun. I can play computer opponents over and over, rapidly trying out the variations and seeing the outcome. I can ask for help, I can see what I'm doing wrong. I can easily spend an hour solving chess puzzles that improve my tactics.

To me, really not a good player, I enjoy chess more than ever; the article seems not to understand how chess software impacts the game.
Here is a good quote from a State Dept. diplomat:

>One diplomat put it this way: “Generally speaking, we shouldn’t be employing the same kind of tactics that our adversaries are using because the bottom line is we have the moral high ground. We are a society that is built on a certain set of values. We promote those values around the world and when we use tactics like those, it just undermines our argument about who we are.”

This is my position as well. Going forward in a world where more and more of what we hear and even see can be fake, trust will become more important. Trust is hard to build and easy to break.

I understand the need to reach out to hesitant populations, and the desire to advance our national interests through persuasion and propaganda. However, actual lying, fake accounts, and disinformation that is deployed in a blanket fashion will be a long-term detriment to our government's credibility.

In shorter form: Bias and "targeted messaging" is one thing. Literally fake people and lies are another.

We should act better than our adversaries, because we are better.
Imagine you’re a historian from the future studying some old document, and you spot a weird character that you’ve never seen before.

I disagree. We can judge the falsifiability of statements without knowing whether or not they're false.

It was licensing issues. Their audio system used some proprietary stuff, for instance. I remember reading somewhere (perhaps here) that some of the Adobe Developers wanted to open source flash in the 2011-2012-ish time period, and it was the licensing that prevented them from doing that. Can't find the reference though (sorry!).

Now most people just do things in other languages. Flash was a very nice platform to target though. It got a lot of things right.
So telling the facts of where meat comes from is following an agenda?

The fact that you can't answer the simple question I raised in my post above is quite telling.

That’s a revisionist perspective, even if it’s one that’s held by the court to justify their decision and set a new precedent. Previous SCOTUS rulings found that there was a collective, not individual right to bear arms. That means despite the court insisting that it didn’t just create a right from thin air, history disagrees.

By the logic you proposed, in any decision SCOTUS makes they can state that this is the way it’s always been and history is rewritten. Of course that can’t be the case. New precedent can be set but the historic record shows what the facts of the time were.

Part of the problem is that Twitter and Facebook deliberately traded away effective moderation in the pursuit of scale. They are not just bad at moderation, they explicitly oppose it.

Remember how Twitter gave Trump exemption from their own rules from 2017 thru 2021? They called it the World Leaders Policy, as in, "these world leaders provide so much value to our platform that we are going to give them a pass on our rules in the name of free speech". If I remember correctly, this even extended to DMCA 512 takedowns, which is an absolutely stupid level of risk to take on to protect a handful of users.

The Mudge disclosure also revealed that several Twitter admins - as in, people with control over all the servers and databases - are actually foreign agents of India or China's current governments. This is absolutely ludicrous levels of risk to take on for any company, but social media is so addicted to scale that this was deemed acceptable.

So even if Twitter were to enforce identity verification on everyone, they would still let the trolls through. Because the whole org is compromised and their incentives are to compromise themselves at every step.
Right. Also Unix serial terminals.

There was a brief hint of a resurgence in the late 1990s with "thin-client" craze.

Genuine question. Why would Arm do this? Armv8 is a modern ISA built built based on decades of experience with huge software support. Adding a comparable but different ISA alongside it makes no sense.

More likely is that they could loosen up some of the IP restrictions around the Arm ISA. Allowing extensions, maybe making simpler cores available for free.
If the mess generates $20m a year, that's great and I agree with you!

If the second case is true, I believe it's somewhat the responsibility of the OP to sell solving this long-term problem to the _rest of_ business. If they hired him as an expert in that area, they should listen to him.

TLDR, no one wants to fund a GPS tagging operating for European and American eels (that are a crop to be harvested), it was attempted in the 2010's but the tags fell off before they got close to the spawning grounds in the Sargasso Sea. The Japanese have already done this for their native eels and know the full life cycle for their population of eels. This is important because then one knows more clearly if the species is in danger of being overfished.
That makes a lot of sense. Intuitively (I haven't tried to run numbers on this), the big efficiency problem with a car – gas or EV – is not that it's using "unnatural" forms of power, it's that you're hauling a 3000 pound vehicle around with your 160 pound human. It's easy to believe that photovoltaic power -> modern battery -> electric motor is far more efficient than photosynthesis -> animal digestion -> human digestion -> human muscle. I wouldn't be shocked if that held up even on a vegan diet, though the difference would be a rounding error compared to the emissions from other aspects of our lives.
When interest rates are negative it's inherently inflationary. It won't destroy the universe but it encourages people and businesses to borrow to get additional resources (the deteriorating economic conditions right now make that a very bad idea, but in general this is true)
I think you're overestimating what's necessary for online to be successful. GTA V is almost 10 years old and still raking in cash from online. The focus does not need to be on online play for it to be successful, they have billions of dollars in evidence that confirms that.
That's surprising. It happens with junior engineers who aren't used to having to solve tough problems. Most will take feedback and improve though.

It also happens with more intermediate or senior engineers who have been able to get away without rigorous methods to solve problems. Maybe they are used to an overly helpful tech lead, or they have changed domains to something more challenging/where stack overflow doesn't have the answer.

Many a time I've been faced with obscure build/environment issues that no one on my team has seen, and googling doesn't provide any easy out. At that point, I feel the necessity for grit. It's a good word too, as it can feel like sandpaper on my soul to start cracking open codebases I wished just worked to get past a complete impasse that my deadline didn't account for me to face.
You can’t just take a year off and magically find huge social groups and parties. Being in a college facilitates that.

You also don’t seem to mention anything about networking. The best friends I’ve had come from freshman year in college when everyone is in the same boat and more willing to make friends. 2 years in, it’s a lot harder to break into established groups.

At the end of the day, if all you want is a degree and need to save money, the two years at community college followed by two years as a university is definitely the way to go but it’s not optimal imo.
I agree with this. I built an open source package that should work for you in this situation with no version control in it. https://github.com/n0nag0n/commie2 Get this installed internally and then start doing some "lightweight" code reviews. Your other team members can get emails about any comments you make and it'll be lightweight collaboration.
In the video it looks like the person raising the tape is from a tv camera crew. None of the authorities seem to even notice the robot until it is directly at their feet.
Perhaps it's relevant to look at how it was introduced - as a "package deal" with many, many characters from medieval cyrillic literature, as described in this proposal https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2007/07003r-n3194r-cyrillic.pdf

It certainly made sense to include this package in Unicode, and the vast majority of those characters certainly should be in this proposal. You do have to draw the line somewhere, and obviously those close to the line will be debatable, no matter where you chose to draw it, like this particular symbol - but once you've decided that you will include the one-eyed O (small and capital) and the two-eyed O (small and capital), then putting in the many-eyed O as well to complete the set doesn't seem so far-fetched.
>ideally it would be designed to not take you more than say, 8 years to pay off

Making minimum payments always increases the length. How do you define your pay off?

For the record [1], in recent years around 58% of bachelor's degree holders incurred debt, with the median at $23,000. If you want to pay over 8 years this is around $3k per year, which should be completely doable for anyone with a bachelors degree over an 8 year span (over 8 years the average person will make far more per year than starting wages).

It's better to knowingly build next to a major fault line than to build next to a major fault line discovered after you built.

There's also the issue that tallest structures really need to be placed in areas of extreme density in order to attract the usage they need to be economically viable. Our ancestors didn't tend to plan cities around suitable geography for buildings these tall, but we'd have trouble convincing people to move to a planned city with better geography.
Others have noted altertnatives like mattermost, etc....But if still interested in matrix, you can always pay for providers to host it for you (and of course manage everything related to infrastructure, etc.)...plus, some charge a tiny bit more per each bridge to connect your account to discord, Telegrma, etc. In essence, you have a single account - through a paid matrix provider - but can interact with your friends on other networks.

I’m always happy when my writing gets noticed here, but culture war–connected content has a natural edge in environments like this, so I respect the site’s commitment to manually deweighting things like this to keep the overall focus more technical.

Correct. I think the difference is just NFC.

If you want to power your key via NFC (tap to phone to authenticate), you need a micro which consumes very little, powers up quickly and can do a signature before the FIDO protocol times out. I'm not sure this is currently possible with a FPGA, but maybe it is.
>> Do you have any evidence for that? That's an extraordinarily strong claim, and would need evidence much stronger than "here's a cherry-picked set of articles I'm interpreting like tea leaves."

> Given your near 10,000 comments in the time since you signed up literally on the day Russia invaded the Ukraine, I suspect you have the time to do your own homework.

Making a extraordinarily strong claim, then expecting others to prove it for you, is a pretty strong indication you do not have evidence for it.

I won't mention the other glaring errors in your one-sentence comment, since they've already been called out.
I'm not arguing JavaScript isn't bad. It's pretty bad.

Node.js and React Native are much easier to argue against than JavaScript for the web. It's pretty rare to pick something other than JS for an interactive website (although that is starting to change).

I've used React Native for a few years. RN is fine, fast enough for most use-cases. They somewhat recently built a custom JS engine called Hermes that's even faster than v8.

> Just about every startup that gets anywhere eventually backs away to native.

I really doubt that, but regardless not everything is a startup. Your banking app or that parking app you have to download and use only once will work just fine with the slowness of React Native.

That said I like Flutter notably more than React Native (imo Dart is slightly better than TypeScript and way better than JavaScript), and I guess I agree with your larger point, that people aren't exploring their options enough. Flutter might often be the better choice, but people reach for React Native out of familiarity.
Only thing I was bummed about was it looks like the have the same punch animation they have been using forever... But otherwise it looked like a pretty decent game in progress.

Taking off a year to party may not be worthwhile but taking off a year to travel (if you have money) probably is.

Also I disagree about partying better later on in life. Getting shitfaced with your friends at 20 any day of the week, hardly sleeping, and then not feeling a thing the next day and going to class is an experience you cannot replicate later in life. The last thing I want to do at 30 is have more than 2-3 drinks and get less than 8 hours of sleep when I have work the next day. The party atmosphere changes - the experiences get nicer and the food is better, but that raw youthful naivety and energy cannot be replicated, when you don't really care about anything but just having a good time and the environment/peripherals don't matter at all

I don't want to misrepresent their argument, and I don't want to go into a gotcha contest, but that's not what I got from the GP's comment. They said that bitcoin wasn't used the way dollars are used, which is different from saying that they are never used as currency. Currently, dollars are used as a currency first and an asset a distant second. Bitcoins and other crypto are used as an asset first and as currency a distant second. That might change, especially with Ethereum, but for now I agree with the GP that things are not looking rosy when it comes to functioning as an online dollar.

Oh, come on! The title of that article is, verbatim: "The racist backlash to The Little Mermaid and Lord of The Rings is exhausting and extremely predictable"

Are you seriously arguing in good faith that you were fooled into thinking that this was a piece of objective journalism?

You are providing a perfect example of my point, which I'll endure the downvotes to point out: rather than see an opnion article with which you disagree and just accept is as an inevitable result of large populations of people living together, you feel the need to explain the disagreement as some kind of existential flaw with the whole field of journalism. Then you feel justified in extending that "mistrust" engendered from Vox authors writing articles you don't like to pieces of real journalism providing real facts with which you also disagree.

And so the whole field of journalism is sullied in your mind, simply because (in this case) you don't like the fact that some people think black mermaids and elves are kinda OK and want to defend their casting against those who don't.
