It would cost the exact same. The majority of these features require hardware aspects (the quickshifter needs to interact with throttle/fuel/ignition, traction control systems require sensors to monitor wheelslip and engine conditions) that come installed from the factory. The subscription service just turns the features on/off.

To make a computer analogy - imagine if the every MacBook in the lineup was shipped with 32gb of ram soldered in as standard, and then Apple disabled 28gb of that via software. Sure, they could sell you the "flexibility" to upgrade at any time (maybe even on an hourly basis in case you need some extra oomph to finish up your compiling!) but we'd all know that the reality is they're holding the product that you already purchased hostage in exchange for a recurring source of revenue.

While not battle bots, I went down this rabbit hole pretty deep for a while.

I've switched completely to ebook, but there are downsides.

First is that the ebook annotation is clunkier than physical annotation, for various reasons (zooming, palm detection etc.).

In addition to finding the right pdf annotator, one needs to find the right tablet (I choose a tablet because I like colors and smooth movement); the vast majority of the tablets are geared towards video consumption, and they have the 16:9 form factor (which is terrible for ebooks reading).

The second is that once one find the most convenient pdf annotator, they will need to get into the ridicolous practice of buying ebooks, but then actually annotate pirated copies (otherwise, with DRM, one is bound to the producer's reader).

Nonetheless, I personally find digital reading overall preferrable over the physical counterpart. The experience of reading Cracking the coding interview, after many years of ebooks, was odd and not so comfortable.
This. I take notes in neat block writing, but also slurred cursive when I need to make a personal note (such as “this sprint is going to fail miserably, no reqs gathered”), which is nice so I have a little private space for notes.
no, you're right because i also remember reading that he used that phrase often at parties as an "icebreaker"
Let's be honest - you're describing how it was in the before times. Once the most aggrieved people in the universe began holding sway, it devolved into a place where every thoughtful disagreement became a flashpoint.

The context where those count as "far right" is when someone is lying about the actual issue.

Those three actual opinions are completely uncontroversial. But people pretend other issues are those issues so they can be the common-sense instant victor.
I think Adobe's primary market focus is people who need it for their work. Assume that you're paying a creative person $60-80k+ per year, before benefits; how is $500/yr for their most important tool not a no-brainer?

There's a long term risk of another company building market-share with younger or poorer designers, but that's small, especially with how light-touch they seem to be with piracy. (Torrents of the Adobe suite are trivial to find, and have been online for years without disruption.)
"The worries about a possible move back to India are inefficiencies in daily life - the traffic, long queues at airports, pollution, not enough green spaces, comparably worse infrastructure"

Yes pretty much this. If you can somehow manage to get past this after living abroad for a few years, India is an amazing place for many things. If you are relatively rich, you will be better off in India if you can learn to live around those inefficiencies.
Of course, all observable behaviors of your system will be depended on by somebody.
You imply they are allegedly grooming these kids to be white nationalists on discord. Discord is a monitored platform. Do you have any evidence of the FBI cracking down on these discords? Actual terrorism falls into the purview of the FBI and given the current administration you'd think they'd be all over using that honeypot as a way to find them. I have yet to see any evidence that the FBI has stopped a discord turning kids into white nationalists so I suspect the problem is not actually the problem you suppose it is, or you and I have very different definitions of what grooming means.
I know this is besides the point and maybe I'm just getting older, but the gameplay seems particularly disturbing in way that it didn't 10 years ago. I guess that's to be expected given the nature of art.

>Are Americans learning some sort of old-fashioned lettering that I'm unable to picture?

I had to Google what cursive is to make sure I understood the article. Cursive just feels like a slightly different font to me. I have a hard time wrapping my head around people being unable to read it.

Hopefully side activities too. One feature I wish they'd bring back are the turf wars from San Andreas.

Personally felt like it was almost a bigger calling to than the missions. The reward felt greater as it gave the sense of ownership and expanding one's territory/empire, which also gave the benefit of not stressing about being taken out by a gang during missions.

Either way, can't wait to see what they have to present.
The reality is that even those of us who were taught cursive--Palmer script in my case--and can vaguely sort of still write some poor imitation of most of the letters, would generally struggle to read a lot of old documents. The lettering tends to be small (paper/vellum was expensive), many spellings are archaic--as is some of the language.

The fact is that you can't teach everything and, as I recall my grade school, learning Palmer script actually occupied quite a bit of time at one point in school. (And it was always my lowest grade.) You can just as easily argue for required music classes, typing classes, cooking classes, or any number of classes appropriate for early elementary school.
Exactly. I often think of scenarios such as this in evolutionary terms. Imagine a doppelgänger competitor in this space, exactly the same, except they're pretty content with their crappy tech ecosystem and focus on delivering features (albeit, more slowly than they might with a more modern system.) And so...

1. You focus on the advice here, adding tests (which IMHO is actually pretty difficult on a legacy poorly architected/documented system), source control, refactoring, etc.... with any time remaining in the schedule devoted to adding features.

2. Your doppelgänger chugs along and releases several more features than you do, giving them a market edge.

What happens next I suppose depends upon what difference those extra features make. If the delta is small, you may be able to pull out ahead, in the long run. But if it's large, then your company may start to lose revenue / customers. Then, the screws will likely tighten even harder, and you'll be forced to sideline refactoring efforts and double down on delivering features. And then those refactoring/cleanup efforts will bit rot and you'll find yourself back roughly where you started, except now you're behind your competitor.

There's a quote I can't seem to find atm that summarizes this. It was something along the lines of "With php our product is already up and gaining market share meanwhile our competitor is still futzing with their rails configurations." (If you know the actual quote I'd love to see it.))
my anecdotal experience from working on 3 AAA titles indicates that ErneX is spot on.

Most games really don't exist as a playable format until about 1y before release, there are separate gates for features and content; content/UI/Graphics are worked on until about 2 months before release. Nothing before 6 months even looks like the final product in most cases: just a rough outline.
I don't know. Even without being the target of those apps it seems they do solve something worth +$10 per month.

Sorry I didn't mean to discourage you from your project but from the outside it does seem like it will be hard to sell at that price. I wish you the best.
Unfortunately not. I suppose that answers the question then.
I'm partly the opposite. A lot of life advise I see comes from people at the top, meaning they have all the resources they need and are looking for a way to maximize their time. Their methods may not be applicable to randos like me, so I tend to dismiss it.

Stories by people that were once at the middle rungs and made it to the top through better organization would be a lot more interesting and relatable.

No. You've just introduced transaction costs. To make it a separate currency, you'd have to have zero assured convertibility between the two. At that point, the whole thing would be as useless as plain vanilla crypto.
When I was young, I had a book of mazes-with-rules[1]. This would have fit right in! There were definitely mazes that involved multiple entrants into the maze, and rules governing whether edges were allowed to be taken.

Thanks for unlocking an ancient memory. I'll have to see if I can track down my old copy of this book.

I wonder, is this a thing for ex-cyber operators too? Like do folks who formerly served their country in cyber then have the crisis of insignificance after transition and some of them "go bad" and do crime / black-hat / merc stuff for money?
I grew up on cursive, and it always tired my arm so badly. When I learned it took far, far, far less effort for people back in fountain pen days, I felt somewhat cheated. Although they were all forced to use their right hands, never mind their brain lateralization, and that’s unfortunate.
I'm curious, is there any advantage to this over software emulation, besides "I did it because I could"? (which is of course cool in itself).
"Stochastic terrorism" is the concept that a media campaign with large enough reach that vilifies and dehumanizes a target group will cause a rise in attacks against them, without any central planning who is attacking whom when, but rather because it pushes random (hence "stochastic") at-risk people to commit random attacks.

Not a flagger, but I think: The story was posted before though on a different publication, and the entire thing was completely debunked in the comments of that prior posting.
Its just a joke. Most folks from the U.S. who enjoy eating chicken tenders (breaded chicken breast with sauce) view it as a safe/comfort food that has never been a poor choice to eat.

I feel the same way about systemd, its safe, reliable, and always a good choice for "dinner".

Basically I am saying that systemd has withstood the test of time and has never disappointed me.
The free money didn't hurt but I don't think GTAV's stagnation was that cynical.

Two or three top people behind GTA left RockStar, and the first heist was delayed by years presumably by technical difficulties.

The lack of updates/progress, for years, implies internal disruption more than anything, and GTA6 development likely started up a couple years ago.

Two different ideas.

In depth conversations about touchy subjects (in a broad sense) can happen in many contexts, and it's important to drop the halo effect around the wealthy. In this case, not even just the wealthy in general but also the specific type of wealthy person OP is alluding to.

Based on their choice of words, my intuition also tells me that OP's definition of touchy inevitably has to do with shepherding the broader population in response to long-term trends. Which is basically the default mindset past a certain class, and not some revolutionary secret idea that people aren't discussing anymore.

Great! In my opinion, there should be no expectation that you can say whatever you want in in-game chat.

Edit: I don’t understand the downvotes here.
I still like physical books for the fact that I learned to study by doing a lot of highlighting and note taking. It's just a bit more of a pain in the ass to do all of that when you've just got a PDF.

You get what you pay for in a good book by a good author from a reputed publisher most of the time.

They're SO HEAVY, though, and since I live on the road my books are my heaviest possessions. I always end up giving them away when I'm done with them full of highlighted stuff which people actually seem to appreciate.

Backwards compatibility like this is a mistake.
I learned my own version of cursive through trial and error, and I found that the most efficient method is to just barely lift the tip off the paper between characters, in a manner that provides little resistance from the paper. Usually, you'll see a light trace of the tip between the characters, but not as strong as some examples of cursive you might've seen.
I have root on my phone, is it possible to do something like a chroot jail just for TikTok?

It also is illegal in the EU for new devices. https://ec.europa.eu/info/energy-climate-change-environment/...:

“Network-connected standby devices

Modern appliances are increasingly connected to the internet during standby mode, consuming higher amounts of energy. This includes networked televisions and decoders, printers, game consoles and modems.

- Specific requirements for network-connected standby devices were introduced in 2013.

- Since January 2017 networked standby devices must not consume more than 3 to 12 Watts depending on the product.

This compares to 20 to 80 Watts previously. This decrease is expected to save an additional 36-38 TWh.”

I think this TV is from 2014, so it would have to comply with the older regulations, which I think are https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex%3A..., but that doesn’t mention anything close to 80W.

It does mention 6W and 12W limits, but only starting at January 2015.

⇒ it seems this device doesn’t break that regulation.
Yep, exact same situation here. Was visiting once and unsurprisingly my signature at 17 didn't match my signature at 10. After trying twice they just showed me what my signature had been and told me to copy it.

Thank you for posting this. I had the same frustrations as him, but couldn't quite articulate why until this video.
Likely just adding to the general consensus here, but realistically it would just add extra confidence around the suggested strategy.

It would be incredibly unlikely to convince management to stop the roadmap for a full rewrite unless you can really give some solid evidence and numbers to show the rewrite costs less than the effort needed to get new functionality added reliably into those parts of the system with issues. For a large system that would be basically impossible. If not able to pause the roadmap, trying to continue development on new features and making sure the new code base is kept synchronized will just be a nightmare.

Like many others have said, the most likely strategy that will get a successful outcome would be to:

- Get some automated testing for key business flows in place. These act as documentation and contracts for the basic business functionality that guarantees that revenue. These then act as safety net for when refactoring is taking place.

- Do targeted refactoring either as part of a 20% tech debt reduction budget your work into your roadmap planning, and/or factored into new feature estimates (fix as you are in there changing something)

- Get the basic structure and processes in place early as those will likely be possible to set up without a big, or at least minimal, impact to production (source control, branch management, PR process, coding standards, CI, deployment process)

It will take time to get through the whole source code, but you would be seeing incremental improvements over time at least. Plus, you can at least still manage to continue with the roadmap with adjusted expectations a bit more easily.

I have gone through a few different projects where it was either a full rewrite with new features only going into the new code base, full rewrite being kept synchronized with existing codebase receiving updates, and the incremental rewrite and the incremental generally will make the most sense.
The stores or more like company towns ?

I grew up pre-commercial Internet in a computer age, with FIDONet, dial-up BBSes and whatnot. Message forums. Teenagers. Boys. Weirdos. Anonymity. I learned this: people have a mean streak that spills out, it's often teenage insecurity and anger. It was extremely common, borderline the norm for teenage boys who were spending their days in front of a computer screen instead of (in the U.S.) playing high school sport and doing the Proper Stuff.

I never had any political memes, but I was angry just the same. I want to say that there's something that is psychologically so commonplace in this development that it is borderline possibly genetic. Either that or our societies are a bit broken that teenagers are so angry.

Either way - the desire to censor and control, the calls for which appear to be coming from a mix of politicians and academics, I find "problematic" (an ironic technical term I've heard the academics use).

No one seems to have studied history: WHO decides what ideas need to be policed, monitored and such. Today it's someone you agree with, tomorrow it might be someone you don't.

I have a problem with people who call themselves ethicists who use studies to come up with correlations between ideas and behaviors, and then propose to tell us what laws or controls we need for a more just society. I call these people secular priests at best, and authoritarians at worst.
Why does it have to be either or? By your logic, we can bring back Kiwifarms, 8chan, and Stormfront. They are privately owned and have the right NOT "to enforce behavioral standards," but I think you're being disingenuous.

As someone who opposes free speech, would you be ok with Facebook allowing you to mute speech you do not like? The argument against "free speech absolutism" has more to do with one person wanting to exert power to silence another, and they are depending on social media to do that.
> saying my entire generation is retarded.

As a middle stage millennial, we too were once considered retarded. But now we control the media, so it's time to pay it forward.

Seriously though, the article's point about the loss of this skill will result in a knowledge access issue is ridiculous. Anyone who's reading these source materials in cursive should be able to pick it up without too much effort.
My state has vote-by-mail only. A consistent signature is required to get your vote counted.

So for me, it's about the only consistent thing in my writing. :)

I'm starting to get embarrassed by my penmanship--I should work on that. Slow=smooth, smooth=fast, as the saying goes.
I’m 50 years old. I haven’t used cursive since third grade or so. I’ve had no problems learning while sticking to print letters.
Paper or paperboard? Was it white or red?
>heavily regulated

Just another form of price control, without calling it price control.
For me it's a variant of a classical "move a wolf, goat and cabbage across the river", where you can't have some of them on the boat together, because it would be eaten.
>Try transcribing a normal person having a normal conversation and you'll quickly see how difficult it is even as a fast typer.

I type at around 120 wpm and I can't keep up with my speaking speed. When I transcribe my own recording I have to constantly pause the recording to catch up. Speaking is "bursty", where you say a lot of things very quickly and then slow down again.
That is true, but at the same time the depth is so high that short of speaking to another Johnny von Neumann you are not likely going to have that original of a conversation when compared to the pre-existing literature out there.
It's true in security in general, that really sticking to basic hygiene would mitigate a lot of more advanced threats. We haven't had much success over the decades though in getting people to stick to it.
learning cursive isn't.... rocket science. so i'm sure with a little effort one could get by just fine. Instead of google lens there'll be youtubers teaching you how to do it in 1 video and you'll be fine-ish.
