The Daily Show did well.

The UK panel show that I can't miss is Have I Got News For You. It's a weekly 30min news review, by very quick-witted comics. As a review of UK news, it obviously wouldn't travel; and the two (permanent) team captains are very English, and likely unknown in the USA. But there's clearly a market for that kind of satirical news review.

They skate close to the libel laws; Ian Hislop, one of the two team captains, is the editor of Private Eye, a satirical print weekly that has a long history of defending (and losing) libel actions. "Did I just say something libellous? Never mind, they'll cut it before transmission".
Battlepasses where a cut is added to the price pools of events. I agree they are pioneers. Why is everyone else just pocketing their battlepass earnings still 5 years later and offering tiny price pools?

Blizzard once crowdfunded a prize pool and ran away with the money.

If valve is milking users, then everyone else is butchering them.
Given the stark contrast and that the pattern was identical every day over a two-week course, it tells me we're observing a fundamental systemic difference between GCP and AWS - and I think that's all the author really wanted to point out. I would not be surprised if the results are replicable three months from now.
I haven't looked too closely yet so please excuse me for asking this question but how dynamic can i make the timed events? I have two use-cases in mind:

1. I would like to run a task each day 30 minutes before dawn so i have to compute that time at some point.

2. I run a task normally every hour but if something happens i want to run it 20 minutes after that event.
It’s definitely a buyout specific problem; deals that were inked before the Fed’s rate increases have pretty unattractive terms compared to the current market conditions. There’s a supply glut of buyout debt at those terms, underwriting banks are the ones holding the bag.
That is part of the art. Planet hopping is not considered convenient. Would be worse if you had to follow the rockets path!
Neither governments nor the market adequately punish data breaches, so why expend resources in proactively preventing them when you can just let them happen and pay the (very unlikely) penalty which will be much lower than the cost of proper security?
If it’s a half moon we’ll need sub-pixel rendering.
They are also short enough that you can read a whole story in the evening before bed or whatever, which is great! And while I love the stories, I also love making fun of the Victorian science/medicine tropes that pop up in them and how silly they can be.
Monopoly case against Steam would be interesting. Essentially boiling to, them being monopoly because customers want to use them. Not because they do anything to prevent other platforms from operating and existing. Or even pay anyone for exclusivity...
ITT: books programmers recommend but not really read :) . I'm guessing SICP would be recommended, Dragon book, TAOCP, some super famous philosophers centuries back and finally modern day self improvement books.

As for me, I can't really say that any single book was worth it in the sense - if I didn't read it, would I have been in the worse position or would I have missed some crucial and/or unique (only in that book) knowledge? Probably not.

PS: just not to sound entirely negative, I can recommend two ideas.

Idea 1: there are marks in Wikipedia, which denote especially good articles. And there is a meta page with a list of top10, top100, top1000 and so on pages. I made myself a personal project to read eventually through top1000 articles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vital_articles

Idea 2: find a good in-depth history channel on youtube or a streaming service, explaining in-depth certain historic evens and the whole timeline. I wager a lot of things will turn out not quite as you may have remembered or imagined. It teaches a lot about social conflicts, wars, money etc. I can recommend a series of streams but they are in Russian. Don't have an English equivalent at the moment.

Meant by whom? The original authors of the Torah? The various prophets and Kings? The original authors of the New Testament? The Jewish scholars who compiled the Tanakh?

Sure, but that's like a bacterium saying "exponential growth is unsustainable" after having colonized the extent of a petri dish. Technically it's correct; practically it's irrelevant.
I actually go via reverse route. Often times I would find something of interest on HN or Reddit which would make me feel excited.

Then to fulfil the curiosity I would often read lot of blogs, articles on same topic. If I still feel that I am still not satisfied then I pick book on the topic.

I usually read around 20 books in an year and all are shortlisted [1] as per the above method. Last 3 books that I have read

Great, another incentive for developers to make the game less fun until you pay up.
Your timeline could use some work. Oblivion's 'horse armor' DLC was in 2006, and the first DLC came about a decade prior. The earliest I could find was the "Cuss Pack" for Redneck Rampage from 1997. Also, you cannot withdraw money from your Steam account.
I strongly recommend clicking the "lightspeed" button in the bottom right at some point.

Counter example: Sea of Thieves. Xbox / Windows native game, built around Xbox Live only.

As a Linux user, at least the last time I tried to play that game, it could not integrate at all with audio input devices, and trying to get accounts to link up with friends via the Microsoft website was either impossible or really clunky. IIRC I had to have someone with the Windows Xbox app invite me to the crew.

They don't even try to do 'cross play' outside of the Xbox / Windows PC ecosystem, and at least my perception based on experience was that other ecosystem isn't baked into the game but as an implicit external dependency (friends list, audio input).
Still, 409 seems inappropriate, as it is meant to signal a version conflict, i.e. someone else changed something, and user tried to uplod a stale version.

”10.4.10 409 Conflict

The request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the resource. This code is only allowed in situations where it is expected that the user might be able to resolve the conflict and resubmit the request. The response body SHOULD include enough information for the user to recognize the source of the conflict. Ideally, the response entity would include enough information for the user or user agent to fix the problem; however, that might not be possible and is not required.

Conflicts are most likely to occur in response to a PUT request. For example, if versioning were being used and the entity being PUT included changes to a resource which conflict with those made by an earlier (third-party) request, the server might use the 409 response to indicate that it can't complete the request. In this case, the response entity would likely contain a list of the differences between the two versions in a format defined by the response Content-Type.”

Then again, perhaps it is the service itself making that state change.

I have purchased games on Epic. Reasons:

1. Steam won't live forever (or I may get banned) and I'd like some games there just in case.

2. Some games aren't available on Steam, e.g. Sifu.

3. Better handling of multiple devices. I can play a game on my MacBook while my daughter plays another game on the home computer on her account. One of the things I don't like about Steam is that one account can lock another out, even when it's different games being played on different computers.

Do you think you could explain why big cameras are better outside the "regular photo" domain? What does "55mm f2.8" do?

I ask because I have a DSLR camera with sizable lenses, and also a smartphone with a supposedly good camera. The smartphone is a decade newer and has lots more megapixels, but I generally like the photos from the camera better and don't understand why.
Did you consider Russell's A history of western philosophy or The Worldly Philosophers by Heilbroner? I'm considering to read one of the two, would like to hear how they would compare to Adamson.
Ah of course, I haven't thought about it that way, thanks for your explanation.
I guess it depends if you're willing to put all eggs in one basket so to speak. But instead of disabling hibernation outright maybe distros can find a compromise there.

Your entire comment is a blatant attempt twist my words into things I never said. Please stop that, thanks.

Twitch was originally 100% games. That's literally why it was created, and why I signed up and started using it. Now that it's no longer focused on gaming content, I am losing interest and finding it harder to watch content I enjoy. It's that simple.

Watching someone playing a game and subsequently being suggested a stream of someone sitting in front of a camera doing literally nothing as thousands in donations come in just feels like twitch telling me "hey, stop watching that entertaining content you like, watch this unrelated garbage instead because it's more profitable for us". And like others have mentioned, these streams being shown off right next to gaming streams pressures the streamers to move over to that type of content to potentially grow their audience and get paid more.

In case you're not aware, Twitch was a spinoff of justin.tv that was created as a place to contain gaming content (which was quickly becoming very popular at the time) while justin.tv continued to host other kinds of streams, but justin.tv was eventually shut down because Twitch completely dwarfed it. Now Twitch is becoming justin.tv again. They should just repeat the process in reverse and revive justin.tv to contain all of this non-gaming content, but they wont because it's easier and cheaper to just shove it all into the same space.
I am not preparing in any ways, I like my days simple. I also don't read the news, so I pretty much have no idea if something is going on
No, but past performance does provide evidence, and in the outside view, "no really, this really is the time where we're growing too much and are gonna collapse" has not been true yet. Will it happen eventually? It has to. Will this be the one? Probably not. Are we close to the limits where it'll actually occur? Probably not.
Doesn't Moore's law die every two years, since like 1973 or something?

> "Moore's law is dead. And the ability for Moore's Law to deliver twice the performance at the same cost, or at the same performance and half the cost, every year and a half is over. It's completely over," said Huang.

It's been a long time since I looked at Moore's paper but if I was going to sum up 'Moore's law' today I would say it's about transistor/component count of state of the art integrated circuits doubling approximately every two years. It was never (directly) about performance/cost?
As they say, past performance is not a guarantee of future results
Oh gotcha, I assumed they meant all 3 we're on one host. I'm not too familiar with the pg ecosystem.
> Then again, it’s a strange time to consider the staying power of animation, given that HBO Max just unceremoniously erased 36 animated shows from its platform.

Did they tho? The NPR article this article links to does say they dropped 36 shows, but they include live action shows such as "Ellen's Next Great Designer" as well as animated titles. Animation looks to be the bulk of it at least, but that'd be a weird mistake considering the author directly linked to an article that would have pointed out the error.

> Instead, I’m left with the old ephemeral feeling, anxious about something I may never see again.

no need to feel anxious about never seeing Infinity Train again. There are DVDs for at least the first two seasons and it's available online via less than official channels which is always nice, but who knows for how long that'll stay true.

If you depend on someone else's service for content, there's a good chance you're going to eventually lose access to something you really care about. Having a copy (physical or otherwise) that you control and can backup is a good idea for the media that matters most to you.

Sadly, far too many animated series have never gotten a release on physical media. Disney is especially bad about this, and I suspect it's entirely to help drive up Disney+ subscriptions. Just one more way streaming is bad for consumers.
It's maybe necessary to point out the fairly (?) obvious, namely that there can be no 100% secure system. A key can always get stolen or be replaced with a sufficiently similar one, and each door and lock has failure modes. That we nowadays believe digital systems are superior to brick-and-mortar, cash, personal interactions and actual signatures on physical paper—all of which can be robbed, stolen, staged, or spoofed—is largely down to our excitement about the perceived utility of doing things the digital way. But where previously a given interaction was only open to say thousands of customers per day (visiting the location of a shop), that same firm's web shop is now readily accessibly 24/7 to billions of actors who don't even have to be humans any more. I'd also venture that a fair number of bad guys only do it the cyber way because that might increase their chances to get something while decreasing their risk of getting caught.

For a transaction I had recently to install an ID app that then wanted to take photos of my face and my ID card. I had no recourse to another method nor can I know where and how these data will be stored. This data, collected in the name of increased security and trust, has now become part of the global data trove, making it a little bit more attractive to commit online crimes. Therefore, the party that forced me to undergo the procedure has, by their action, made the world at large and online transactions in particular a little less secure and trustworthy.
> Traditional packaging introduces several issues, such as dependency and package conflicts, which usually require workarounds that differ from one distribution to another.

I feel that there was no thought here at all regarding the reverse perspective:

Current application development and deployment practices introduce several issues, such as dependency and package conflicts, which usually require workarounds that differ from one application to another.
Putting it mildly, this is nothing more than a sophisticated Python while loop. And it's not as performance friendly as Cron due to that Rocketry runs on Python. You need to be able to leave Python program running in order to use Rocketry. As bad as that sounds, it's not really a problem with modern machines though. Have run this on Raspberry and with a machine with even poorer specs.

However, this has a lot of features that Cron doesn't and which are not obvious to create yourself like create task dependencies (like "run this after that has succeeded or this has succeeded"), error management, integrating with APIs, parametrizing etc. Also if you need to run concurrently/parallel tasks, you be facing a lot of odd errors due to race conditions if you tried to do it yourself in a loop. I have even found a bug in Python's time/datetime modules while developing Rocketry. It sounds easy but I advice you don't go to the same rabbit hole as I did. Please don't, it's not good for mental health.

Of course if you need something very simple, go ahead and do it with a simple loop. Rocketry however makes easy and complex problems easy so it's still a good candidate as in case you realize your problem was more complex than you thought, it possibly has the answer or an obvious way to implement.

Compared to similar alternatives like Celery or Airflow, (I think) it is much easier to set up and more complex scheduling problems are much easier with Rocketry than with them. Of course if you are a data engineer, I suggest to use Airflow as that's the industry standard.
The website on https://1.1.1.1 is horrible. Completely dead modern corporate design which advertises an app and otherwise it is completely useless. Not expecting anything to be here honestly, but this... A connection refused page from your favorite browser might be preferable.

Teams usage is rising because it's free and bundled with other corporate MS office offerings like SharePoint. That's my hunch anyway, I really don't think anyone who's used Slack and Teams equally (yes, on a mac in this case) would pick Teams on its merit.

I remember the old recommendation from the early 2000s, but I'm not sure if it's still "a thing". Switched-mode power supplies reach closer to their nominal efficiency rating the more current you pull through them.

I have an anecdote: many years ago when Bitcoin/altcoin mining on GPUs was still feasible I ran a rig with a 335 watt TDP graphics card, and the whole setup measured 360-something watts at the wall outlet. It ran 24/7 for months on a 400 watt PSU, without problems.

I highly recommend the Bible in a Year podcast series from Fr Mike Schmitz [0]. It's very approachable but also gives you enough theology and historical context to get a handle on the 'bigger picture' and how all the parts fit together. You don't have to use the sign-up link below, it's also available anonymously from all the usual podcast providers.

If that's too challenging (he does talk very fast, and there's a lot to take in), an even easier route to follow is Nicky Gumbel's Bible In One Year [1].

Of course, they both come from a believer's perspective - one Catholic, the other evangelical protestant - but after following them you will get a good idea of what adherents claim the Bible is about (i.e. the people for whom it was written) and then you are in a much better position to make sense of any archaeological/literary-analysis approaches to deconstructing it. Also, a visit to any art-history gallery will take on so much more depth because you will understand the stories behind pictures that depict Biblical themes.

Microsoft also had MindAlign, which was an excellent no-nonsense group chat originally spun off from UBS (!) and widely liked by its users at various big firms, mostly banks- basically it was like IRC with management tools and record keeping added to meet compliance and audit needs. Bits got folded into Lync/ Skype for Business but those were never as good and certain customers are still using the original product.
That film always seems like 2 films interleaved into 1 to me. Most of the British cast are great, and really capture the style and humour of the book - Stephen Fry as the narrator, Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent, Alan Rickman as Marvin, even (IIRC) Bill Bailey as The Whale. Then you have the American-cast characters and their writing, and it's just so cliche and dull. It feels like they split production of the film up by character and handed it off to two separate companies, one British and one American.
