Playing with Godot is the first time I've felt like I had the power of Flash again. Though I never actually managed to write any games in flash, just animations, I had a pretty good idea of what you could do, and wanted to, but then flash died so I learned other tech.

This is the exact opposite of the truth. Multi-polariry always leads to war because there's no hegemon with a monopoly on force. States are in anarchy, after all. In an anarchic situation in the presence of information asymmetries and opposing interests, you always get war. Aside from nukes, unipolarity is the only reason for the unprecedented levels of peace we've seen since 1990. This is realism 101.

Ah, yes, those closed off systems that are usually exploitable because no one designing them thinks about security... as shown by decision like using Flash.
In my eyes, a rewrite won't be introducing breaking changes. It would be to figure out what functionality makes money, then replicate that functionality as best as possible so that the company can continue to make money as well as build upon the product to make even more money.

The Gift of a Bird's Song
Huh. We're absolutely crushing this at our house. We averaged 486 watts per person in the worst month this year so far. I cheat and charge the car at work, but even when I commute every day (40 miles round trip, half-mile elevation change), it's only half our energy consumption, so we're easily below 1kw per person. I'm not including embodied carbon of stuff we buy, but still...

We did buy energy efficient everything: Induction range, hybrid heat pump water heater, spent extra on insulation, heat pump furnace, LED lights, medium-wattage desktop computer, high MPGe EV, etc.

However, we live in a normal US house with few compromises (though we don't need air conditioning or heating most days, due to the local climate).

It makes me wonder how the average US household is at 12KW. That's roughly two of our house's air conditioners running full blast, per person, 24 hours a day.
> The other thing is that Apple is trying to make things harder for people with large amounts of resources (think nation states) to exfiltrate data by using pwned components.

Reflashing serial numbers of common i2c chips is routine, and not "harder."

It basically only deters self-taught repair shop owners, without electronics background.
First, a specification for Maximum Voltage does not imply that it is also a contract for the Minimum Voltage Required to Destroy Device. And even if it were, you're still missing a spec for the current/power required to destroy the device. I would guess that the maximum voltage spec is based on the forward/reverse voltages of the body diode (hence the alternative -0.6v rating that would actually be easier to hit with no voltage doubler), rather than say gate punch through. Thus you're going to need a lot of energy to create the heat required to cook the silicon. Your chip may desolder itself from the board before it's been appreciably damaged.

But really, apart from the novelty, why attempt to destroy the chip in the first place? Encrypt the bulk flash memory, store the key in supercap backed SRAM, and then zero out and short the RAM when triggered. Then you'd have a reusable device in case of inadvertent triggering. You could even load it with a key from a trusted host computer (stored on the computer or derived from passphrase), gain safety for transporting your files while walking around and plugging in to less trusted computers), and then if you did accidentally trigger the device, simply reload the key afterwards when you got back to the trusted computer and not have to rewrite the flash. The utility of such reloading functionality would depend on your threat model, but could be very useful for a lot of people. Perhaps border crossings.

Since we're on the topic of bespoke crypto ideas, I've often mused about the possibility of a probabilistic KDF that would take a lengthy amount of time to derive the key, and/or be resilient to typos in the passphrase. Rather than doing a fixed number of rounds that take a few seconds to derive the key xor failure, there would be additional random bits that had to be derived via hash collision finding, stretching out the time. Such a thing could be resistant to typos or omissions of words in the passphrase, with the result that such errors would increase the time even more. Thus, until the KDF reported success, an attacker would not know whether you gave them the correct passphrase and they just need more time, or whether you were stalling.
I mean, I don’t like it either and I’d rather we didn’t have to take personal measures against this stuff.

But I still use a password manager to protect myself online. I also use different profiles to split my work and home digital lives.
To be fair the us navy hasn't completely detached in the way that he expects... Yet. Shipping harassment hasn't appreciably gone up... Yet. It's also possible that cargo ships will arm themselves against pirates, which will increase the cost of shipping but maybe not as much as the most dire predictions.
Yeah, technically it requires diacritical marks, but unlike French they are only written explicitly when they fall on the final letter of a word. Italian only has seven vowels, so these are the only common ones: è é ì ó ò ù à.

What I would do is this:

- Replace them with a single quote -> E' instead of È or É and so on.

- Ignore all uncommon marks.

In most contexts, it is perfectly acceptable to do that. A native speaker would understand without giving it a second thought or considering it impolite. I write emails to my boss like that.

If I had to make something meant for the public (say a UI, or a document), then I'd switch to the Italian layout for that purpose only and then go back to the US one.
You can s/VC/right network/ and I would still strongly disagree with your assertion that even if you're in the "right networks", that problems will get fixed.

Startups are fundamentally about finding product-market fit. No network can do the hard work of finding PMF for you.

Your claim seems to be that if you know the right people, you'll be successful. That's just flat-out wrong. So many startups are founded by people "in the right networks" and still fail. The vast vast vast majority of them do. How does knowing "the right people" (whoever this vague shadowy group of people are, I'm not even sure how you would define them) fix your problems for you?

Even more strangely, this has literally nothing to do with Figma. Like I stated earlier, they were successful because they worked on the right idea and executed flawlessly. What did their network do for them?

I wasn't arguing that the back glass was a secure element. I said it makes sense for certain replacement parts and then gave examples of those surrounding Face ID and Touch ID.

I would agree with you that the back glass is not one of those things. But as another person said, it is nice to know that they're official Apple products as that does matter to some people.
It’s even more impressive than that — the infrared dot pattern of every Face ID sensor is also physically unique. You can’t swap out Face ID sensors and keep the same enrolment data as a result because the replacement sensor will produce a slightly different pattern.

There have been at least two mostly disconnected "Java"s for the last 15+ years. The job descriptions used to be very clear about. There were "Core Java" positions and "Enterprise Java" ones. Very different communities, different libraries (remember the revelation that the LMAX Disruptor was for example?) etc. The developers spoilt by the experience with Scala/Kotlin probably count as a third group now.
I like the HackerRank Python course.
> the Bloomberg terminal is the one to beat

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the current success of the Bloomberg terminal comes down mainly to the breadth of the data available in one system: varied news sources, and unique statistics and data sources all accessible in one set of tools. Basically everything you need to know what's going on financially in the world is accessible in that one platform. That aspect of Bloomberg is hard to beat. But the actual UI itself is probably very beatable if you just focused on the problem of making charts and data easily navigable with good shortcuts.
Pointing toward an exception seems to prove the rule that is worrying Figma customers like me.

I avoid the job boards entirely, because their signal-to-noise ration tends to be rather poor. I work with a trusted recruiter, supplemented by going direct to specific companies that interest me or are doing things that interest me.
I'd like to share this video, which I feel explains the crux of the debate around allocating funds for one cause or group of people over another:

https://www.c-span.org/video/?520337-5/sen-rand-paul-ukraine...

I find myself agreeing with about 10-20% of what he says. His basic argument is that it's not the government's place to take from one group and give to another.

The fallacy in his argument is that the government's primary job is specifically to gather funds through taxation and allocate those funds to certain groups, governed by the public's intentions as determined through the electoral process. Our elected officials are our proxy within our democratic republic, making those kinds of decisions on our behalf every single day.

In other words, his argument isn't supported by fact. It's ideological.

IMHO, rather than deciding if we send $40 billion to Ukraine or fix the lead pipes in many of our cities, the government can and should do both.

Given the choice between reducing the student loan burden, or reducing the national debt, the government can and should do both!

You see what I'm saying? This notion of choice in who will be helped and who will be hindered is a fallacy. The government is bigger than us, we need to stop thinking of it in terms of an individual struggling with their microeconomic finances, and realize that it can be more like a superhero and help many people simultaneously through the emergent behavior and opportunities created by macroeconomic policy. I think what's missing in our government today is this sort of visionary consideration of human potential, and the political will to enact policies that materially help people in need, rather than wealthy and powerful people in the status quo who don't need our help in the first place.

If we follow his argument to its logical conclusion - the reduction or elimination of government spending with the private sector left to its own devices - then only one form of government fits that: autocracy. That's where we came from before the American Revolutionary War, and we've been headed back there again under 40 years of trickle-down economics and the rise of wealth inequality the likes of which the world has never seen. Billionaires are the new aristocracy. We're in a positive feedback loop where every time things get worse, people vote for the same people who caused it, making things worse still. Then that side blames the other and the process repeats itself.

That's the seduction of seemingly rational-sounding arguments like the one against student loan forgiveness, which always align with the status quo. We can use that as the signal to know that the argument is disingenuous.

Some people are suggesting we need to be compassionate toward those in society that have to deal with the problems associated with homelessness. While that is true I think it is better to focus on being compassionate towards the homeless.

There is an interesting question I have heard: who is more free, a person who lives in a society with minimal laws but has substance abuse issues and is not really in control of themselves or a person who lives in a society with more restrictive laws but is in control and not dealing with addiction. I generally agree with the second one, but opponents of laws like this one are in the first camp. I think the skewed understanding of freedom is the root of the dissent on this law.

It is not compassionate to allow people who have impaired facilities due to mental illness and/or substance abuse live life as a homeless person. Many people with those issues are unable to solve their problems on their own. Letting them continue on this destructive path will not allow them to have freedom. Freedom is not just being able to do X, but being able to choose to do X. We can help treat people with these type problems and let them have true freedom. Both the individual and society will be better even if we remove their "freedom" to be homeless.
I think it's so interesting and positive that Stable Diffusion has come out and absolutely destroyed DALL-E as a product. What are the best examples of DALL-E being integrated into a product? Are there any at all?
My position is mostly based on Brian Moriarty's Apology for Roger Ebert, by the way. I also define art mostly the presence of an intent that an artist wants to convey to the audience that goes beyond the immediate form.

Somewhere along the path towards modern computer games, a conflation happened between the game and its presentation. My intention here is to point this out. If you retain the meaning of the word "game" from its pre-computer origin, you arrive at the reduction that I outlined and the question whether you can convey artistic intent solely in a set of game rules.

Artistic intent is always somehow relying on a certain level of control over an artwork's presentation. What is (or isn't) shown in painting, how is it represented and where is it on the canvas relative to everything else? Music, film and video have a temporal aspect under the control of the artist. In that sense, Kandinsky paintings can be art under the assumption that the compositions of these paintings are very deliberate.

In a computer game, there is always tension between the game elements which give agency to the recipient and the presentational aspects for which the creator has to assert control from the player in some form to ensure that they are conveyed with the proper intent.

This tension makes any answer to whether video games can be art nontrivial.

Maybe you didn't intend to imply that the person was being a smartass, but it was how it came across.

>I replied indicating the answer did not provide me the information I had asked for.

Yes, and that's part of the problem. Part of it is how you phrased it. The "maybe answer that?" is particularly rude; you're being sarcastic to someone who's just helpfully answering an inquiry. But also the problem is that you didn't say "I don't understand what you mean". You said "maybe answer that".

Phrases like "I don't understand what you mean" leave open whether it is you who's missing something or the other person who's saying something nonsensical and just focus on the fact that there's been a failure to communicate and signal that you just want to fix that.

"Maybe answer the question" says that it is definitely not you who's not getting it and puts all the blame on the other person for at the very least not being clear enough.

* (F) a risk of damage to $1,000,000,000,000 of public infrastructure and coastal real estate in the United States

edit: on Bernie's relatively short page which you provided the link to:

> The cost of inaction is unacceptable. Economists estimate that if we do not take action, we will lose $34.5 trillion in economic activity by the end of the century. And the benefits are enormous: by taking bold and decisive action, we will save $2.9 trillion over 10 years, $21 trillion over 30 years, and $70.4 trillion over 80 years.

And this is from a plan that pays for itself in 15 years.
