I think the Zero was a turning point in Japanese manufacturing and development - and directly leading to skills and people who were mightily influential in the post WWII economy. As Americans, we lionize the B-52 bomber, the fighter jet, and other tools of our trade of war.

I think that's why they remember it so fondly, with a little footnote at the end about how it was a great example of Japanese engineering and effort used for a horrible end.

This film definitely is uncomfortably close to an intangible border of "war atrocity"; and, considerably more so considering the Zero's usage in the end of WWII and Japanese atrocities. Considering Miyazaki's anti-war stances and efforts, I always was inclined to take his thoughts and messaging on this with a positive light.

By the way, did you know that in Japan, this film was viewed extremely negatively by Japanese nationalists? So, there may be something culturally lost in our interpretation as well. I remember coming out of that movie thinking, "well, that's kinda fucked up". And yet, my understanding of that movie is contrary to the man's many decades of outspoken commentary. So, idk. I think I just didn't "get it".

> The movie’s subject dovetails with an issue currently under heated debate in Japan: the new prime minister’s plan to amend the country’s constitution to allow for the building of a full-fledged military, boosting the limited self-defense forces put in place after the war.

> Miyazaki, a venerated cultural figure in Japan, published an essay last month objecting to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s plan, in the process raising the ire of some Japanese conservatives, who on Internet message boards labeled him “anti-Japanese” and a “traitor.”

> Miyazaki’s movie, which is seeking U.S. distribution, reflects his pacifist stance. In the subtitled trailer above, he depicts Japan in the years leading up to WWII, when it faced some of the same problems that have plagued the country in recent years, including a devastating earthquake and economic stagnation. The character of Horikoshi appears as a contemplative young man, tossing paper airplanes with a girl, gazing at the Japanese countryside from the window of a steam train and working in a factory, until the war hits and the tone shifts, with a plane breaking up in the sky and blood falling to the ground.
Nix solves the mentioned issues without using containers. Not sure why they keep referring to containers as only solution when Nix is included. Also not sure why they talk specifically about graphical applications. The issues mentioned apply to every program running on the system. That said, agree on those issues.
I work in the games industry, and honestly I don't know anyone who was optimistic about Stadia. Some people thought no chance, others thought that Google would care enough to keep pushing it for many years and keep spending unlimited money to maybe find success, and I didn't hear from anyone who thought better than that.

Of course I'm not claiming to speak for everyone in the industry, just for people in my network who I either discussed it with or whose opinions I saw online. But it very much isn't the case that everyone predicted success until "Monday morning quarterback"ing.
Please don’t add edits to your comments without marking them after someone has already responded. It is considered poor etiquette.

My problem is that Rajiv doesn’t get to decide whether someone is an insider or an outsider. The moment someone disagrees with you, you simply say they are ignorant. Which is exactly what Tyler Williams said in one of the videos you linked to. You can’t discredit someone based solely on where they’re from, or whether or not they are an insider in your personal opinion. I think I’ve said all I wanted to say on this topic.

In a kayak if the waters too turbulent (frothy or foamy) you can lose buoyancy pretty hazardously and capsize really easily with poor chances of unaided recovery.

There's a few spots near me that are well known danger spots for kayakers due to this phenomenon.

I thought one of the selling points of Electron et al. was building apps on web standards. What is changing so fundamentally between versions of Electron that prevents apps from running on the latest release? I wouldn't expect Element to not work on Firefox 432[0] after using it on Firefox 431...

Disclaimer: These books changed the way I think primarily because I've read them quite young (early/mid teens) and as such, were formative.

1. The Morning of the Magicians (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Morning_of_the_Magicians)

This book, although many (most?) of its claims are disproved really had an impact on me since it showed me that there could be _a lot_ more in the world than meets the eye. Everything around us and in history is filled with mysteries, unanswered questions. You could find interesting things everywhere. I would say the content is not the important part, but it instills the curiosity to dig deeper.

2. Memories, Dreams, Reflections (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memories,_Dreams,_Reflections)

A semi-autobiography of Carl Jung. It made me realise how "meta-programmable" humans are. How much of how we think can be though upon, itself. How we can introspect on our thoughs ... with our thoughts. Basically, made me in awe of conscious beings.

3. Ficciones (Fictions, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ficciones)

This is classic from Jorge Luis Borges. It showed me at the time "experimental" literature. How can one can push story-telling to another level, like many other art forms have done.
I was thinking more like sneaker net - passing thumb drives of photos and videos around
Perhaps it's because I've never had to deal with US customs and being Dutch being spoiled with Schengen¹ that my perspectives are skewed, but all my experiences with British customs and security to date have left a bad taste. I've been to South Korea and Japan, and have never had any issue whatsoever, and no rudeness at all, but a layover at Heathrow? Rude security folk and depressed looking staff. Eurostar? Same thing over at St Pancras (the actual staff at the French customs point is mostly British).

It's not likely to have gotten better now post-Brexit either.

It's such as a shame, because Britain really does have its upsides and genuinely nice people too; not to mention a wealth of culture.

1: As you say, travelling to Germany (or Austria, Italy, Belgium, even Switzerland) by train is just great.
It's privately owned. The requirement for infinite growth so investors can get rich off other people's work is what kills everything publicly traded. It's what is killing Netflix and what will kill Game Pass.

I love Steam and I hope it's never bought out.

As much as I wish Valve made more games, I'd prefer this to them being publicly traded.
Please don't make light of The Strid by describing it as a mere "creek". One video does not make "tons". Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence! This video is clearly fake, or if not perhaps the kayakers in this singular video are some kind of immortal demigods.
Correct.

They certainly offer a lot of ways to send them money, but it doesn't feel like they're pushing particularly hard. All that Dota stuff is cosmetics, is it not? No gameplay boosts?

Plus, they were talking about Steam the platform, not individual games Valve has developed.
ah that's a good point! Thanks so much for your valuable feedback :)

Maybe a quick video on the "how it works" page would help.
Nice idea... but for those adapters, the sound quality is quite subpar as far as I know. I don't know if this can be sufficiently improved. At least, it is probably better than a FM radio transmitter.
the difference is that is not the steam market place, all of that helps people complete with there games, but not steam as a market place.
I also look at Steam user reviews because people tend to share what they like or hate in relatively short form.

I've been gaming for more than 3 decades. Know very well what I like and what I don't. Sure, gameplay videos are great but as an old FPS guy, looking for gameplay recorded by someone who knows what they are doing takes more time. It really does. That's why I look fir videos after taking the time to read what people think.

That said, I've stayed away from professional reviews for more than 2 decades.
8 core 2.8 Ghz, 11 GB RAM, 256 GB storage, liquid cooling, camera zooms at the level of a toy microscope. This is more powerful than some gaming PCs just a while ago.

It runs fine, but any less gets laggy, so I suspect apps like Facebook and TikTok are just going to continue to swallow up any more power.
Valve we're just so far ahead of the META that by the time people realised what was happening they were already hooked.
Which mesh networking app works on iOs?

Bridgefy was never able to find my Android device and vice-versa.
I have hundreds of hours in most games they developed, and i never ever felt like purchasing any of the microtransactions, or that their gameplay was optimized in a way that you would be compelled to spend money.

There is a huge difference between cosmetics only and gameplay affecting microtransactions.

With current prices they are not micro anymore anyway.
dem glasses is shit innit
And also forum (GOG has one too at least). Sometimes games require more info than is present in the reviews. For example Detroit PC port was atrocious for a significant minority of users. It was a minority enough to have a positive reviews, but significant to have hundreds of people with very different hardware to be affected.

Also forum plus release notes (available on Steam, but not sure about competitors) provide a great picture if game is really supported or not. Same example Detroit PC port - zero patches over a year, almost no "green" replies on the forum from dev team, zero acknowledgment of critical blocking issues. In the same year Horizon PC port was also released with some bugs. It had two dozens game patches and fixes over a year, and devs immediately acknowledged existing bugs, like in a one week time frame.

You can probably guess that in future I will avoid products from Quantic like wildfire and all such info can be found on Steam, for any corporation. So mister Tim, you can keep your stance against customers, and I will keep buying games on Steam and GOG.
Ok that's fair. My biggest annoyances with Teams are slow startup and a bizarre implementation of copy and paste.

But in general it pretty much stays out of the way, and has enabled us to fairly seamlessly transition the org to WFH.
Long time steam user and have never felt compelled to buy any of that. I get an absolutely massive amount of value out of Steam and I'm yet to see another store that even runs on Linux, let alone actually boosting the whole ecosystem with Proton and other efforts.

I bought a new racing wheel a while ago and it wasn't quite working on linux, after doing some searching I found that a Valve employee was working on a patch to the kernel to fix this racing wheel just to make gaming on linux better.
> It should also be noted that there is no prood right that any of the known quantum algorithms give an exponential speedup over the best possible classical algorithms.

True, but we also can't even prove P!=NP, which seems (intuitively) like it should be much easier than proving that there exists an exponential speedup with quantum algorithms. I feel like this statement mostly just says we have a far way to go in understanding the relations between complexity classes. Its not like we have proven all the "obvious" separations between complexity classes and qunatum stuff is just a stubborn hold out.
I'd not heard of The Invincible, but Solaris had a transformative effect on me and you've convinced me to read the first two items on your list. Didn't Roadside Picnic become Tarkovsky's Stalker?
User-posted video reviews sounds kinda useless to me, just because it'd be hard to skim, but they'd also be low quality enough on average to where you wouldn't want to sit through a bunch.
If you have the means then I would recommend subscribing https://lwn.net/subscribe they are pretty much the only foss news outlet that published so high quality articles.
I don't think he's trying to be an all-controlling BDFL. What I see is, he acts as a trim tab which steers the kernel to a general direction rather than a precise bearing.
And why, oh why, are past customers in there. I'm a current one, but even 'not being with them' doesn't necessarily exclude you from this.
I recently rewatched it, kind of facing my fear of being sad and depressed and oh my god what a different perspective I have now!

The shock factor is completely gone, the gory and meant to be traumatic parts aren’t that bad like I’m always waiting for the part that is triggering and it just doesn't come.

And the main characters I can basically only laugh at, the story is a cautionary tale of degeneracy and all the adults point out other choices the whole time. I completely didn’t notice the first time I saw it as a pre-teen. I just saw freedom, desperation that nobody helped and shock at the resolution. I completely missed that it starts as an anonymous homeless person dying their last breath in a subway station, and ending with it. Seeing that and how I actively avoid that specific scenario and so could these main characters, its more of a comedy at “watch this dumbass burn every bridge with the worst decisions” an expected and purely Machiavellian outcome, as its so common in the cities I live in, and everyone compassionate realizes they cant help people that cant help themselves. The story moreso shows humanizing to the dead anonymous homeless off in the corner, but not really empathy as it might be interpreted, just caution of how not to make those choices. the adults point out other choices the whole time, the writers put that in there.
Maybe many people in the thread are using Teams on Mac/Linux, because for me I haven't had a crash in like, ever. I don't have any issue with the UI, but then I don't know any better and I've used Teams enough these last 3 years that I know its idiosyncrasies.

Search is still beyond retarded, though.
> If you have something truly original and worth sharing, the audience is more than desperate to find you and they will regardless of your marketing strategy, or lack of one.

I'm sorry, but this is incredibly naive.

Yes, some gamers are like that, sure, but most aren't constantly scouring the internet for any hint of the games they like, even if they're into indies.

I'm way more knowledgeable about video games than almost any of my gamer friends, and I still don't know that much, there's just so many games out there these days.
> less funny-chat-chat

I have a low tolerance for videos with tone like: "Hey kids, did you know honey bees have a queen and are themselves called drones? Pretty cool, right?" I hated that tone even when I was a kid.
What Clayton Christensen Got Wrong (2013)
It makes it possible to change the API of system calls or completely remove them if better ideas come along for implementing their functionality.

Without it, you end up maintaining system calls that nobody should use.

Now, you could argue that moves the mess to the c library, which would still have deprecated functions that used to call old system calls, but now are built on top of better ones, but there’s more flexibility there. Application programmers can, one by one, move to newer c libraries that remove that cruft.
Codacy raises $15M to improve code reviews with automation
Codacy has just closed a $15M Series B!

870+ customers, 300k developers on the platform, over 60k vulnerabilities found every day, we are moving fast on our journey to become the leading DevOps Intelligence Platform.
I think many, too many still fail to see two thing:

- packages/package management is intimately tied to filesystems and so installers. Actual package models are based on '80s Unix model that do not scale anymore since decades. Such model was designed decoupling "system code" to "user code" (script, mostly) while all along the IT history, both before and after unix we see a better model (see below);

- packages in FLOSS are NOT meant do be made by upstream developers, that's a need of commercial only software. In FLOSS systems packagers of any distro package upstream code.

Now a step at a time: classic systems where designed as a single application, indefinitively extensible by many, and users included. At a certain point in time AT&T/IBM and others say "ah, no that's bad" IMVHO just to deprive users of much power and gain the ability to sell limited, limiting and poorly designed crap. For more than a decade such decoupling take shape. After decades of big mess frameworks spring to life as a kind of middle-ground and they prove to be no better than the decoupled crap they try to solve without coming back to the classic OS-as-a-single-application model. Now essentially ALL non trivial applications being unable to effectively integrate each others try to be "the only one application" and finding no way to do so some pull out of the hat an even worse cage: hiding the OS on someone else computer, used as a bootloader of a modern more limited and limiting Java VM: the WebVM improperly named browser for legacy reasons. Pushing "the network is the computer" to "the cloud is the system".

To solve this mess what we need is the original solution: the OS as a single application where source code is in the runtime, no "packaging" just SCM. Oh, surely that does not solve version conflict between source, these actually are ALREADY solved in architectural terms by the FLOSS distribution model: packagers assemble code. But working directly on source makes that far easier with simple sharable patches who happen to be also a bit distro-neutral. Nix/Guix offer the actual middle ground.

To solve the storage mess it's far more complex. Today most solutions simply use a backend storage service, a kind of DB, no matter if SQL-alike or key-value or something else. SUN with zfs realize a very first limited evolution in that sense, but far from current needs. BeOS with if raw "query-able file system" have done another very small part before. https://twizzler.io seems to offer something more modern, but that's still an open issue.
I read the negative comments mostly, to see if game has some glaring issues.

Steam generally does a good job of bringing relevant issues to the top, like latest patch breaking something, less than stellar netcode on fighting games, etc.
I think the science museum (also in London) is the perfect kind of museum for children. There's so many weird things that will interest the children in there.
Agree and I don't understand why anyone reacts to these blatant requests for comment from overt marketing anymore on HN. It's extremely naive to think these articles have any interest in mind apart from determining what sells with various social groups. HN is not an opinion farm and nerd culture has been dead for well over a decade. It's 2022 now, not 2009. No sentiment extracted from this place will capture any meaningful trend apart from maybe the negativity I'm giving off right now.
Before I learned about GOG I bought all my games from steam.

Nowadays I only buy from steam if:

1) it's not on GOG, AND
2) it's a game I desperately want to play

I don't think condition #2 will ever be met, because no matter how hard I try to get addicted to video games I just get bored and do something else.

I buy from GOG because I like the idea that I actually own (not licensed, like steam) and can play the games I purchased even after game stores all shutdown.
If you have under 2 hours gameplay and its under 2 weeks since you bought it, they will refund for literally any reason. And they explicitly list that refunding because you didn't find it fun or because it went on sale and you want to rebuy is acceptable use. After that period I have had one request accepted and one denied so it depends on the situation.

I work at Google and I was immediately skeptical of Stadia (I don't work on that product, obviously). Partly from being a gamer myself, thinking about latency, but also because:

* Google has a reputation for abandoning services, and games bought on Stadia would be locked there. What happens if/when Stadia goes under? Who knows, but there's a decent chance of, "tough shit, all your games are gone."

* It's hard to get momentum when you're targeting hardcore gamers, who mostly already have consoles/PC's, thus removing one of your biggest advantages.

55" 4K TVs used to be very expensive as well. Now they are so cheap and thin and good I hug one in my basement just for the occasional workout video streamed from YouTube.

> The CW tried licensing Taskmaster and it got abysmal ratings

While I usually like Reggie Watts' work, his persona on the show was too cerebral. Felt like someone at The CW got afraid of the word 'master' but figured they could balance it out with a nice black guy role playing a psychotherapist for the competitors.

Also Lisa Lamponelli was just 100 percent angry the entire season, as if Alex Horne was personally responsible for all childhood leukemia. As a bit gag during an obnoxious task it can work but if thats all you do it fundamentally rejects the premise.
Well technically the Zen 4 mobile parts have been announced, as AMD officially published their 2023 mobile lineup a couple weeks ago: https://community.amd.com/t5/corporate/announcing-new-model-...

Here's the segmentation:

* Barcelo-R (Ryzen 7030 Series) - Mainstream Thin & Light

* Rembrandt-R (Ryzen 7035 Series) - Premium Thin & Light

* Phoenix Point (Ryzen 7040 Series) - Elite Ultrathin

* Dragon Range (Ryzen 7045 Series) - Extreme Gaming & Creator

But the product "launch" will, as you mention, likely take place at CES next year.
The competitors also have built up so much bad will that "not steam" as a category is met with distrust and rage.
> EU-funded project cannot succeed in tech because previous EU-funded projects have failed in tech in the past

I think the fundamental problem here is that the people that are interested and in grants and are capable of writing grant proposals are different than the people that are interested in building things. There's very little overlap. So the money goes to the people capable of writing proposals, and the people doing the work do it for free in an obscure corner of the internet.

It's sad really, but I suspect it's a side effect of the huge bureaucratical machine that is the EU. One way to make this better would be to simplify the access to grants so that technical people can do it without needing a class in "EU funding speech".
