You read game reviews for that ? I just YouTube gameplay videos or intro or whatever. I'll watch a narrated review, but just reading about the game is kind of irrelevant for me. Maybe in the old days of game magazines, but these days - videos do a way better job of telling me what I'm in for.
Half of them are Ukrainians.
It doesn't matter if it's free because you have to agree to a EULA when creating that account.
Museums (like education!) are wasted on the young, in my experience. When young, a museum was just a lot of unconnected items; that is, I just didn't know enough about the world and the history of it for anything in the museum to connect to anything I already knew. None of it meant anything to me and being there was thus dull.

Now, almost any museum is interesting; the displays and exhibits will connect to things I already know about, places I have been, history I have already learned, cultures I've experienced, and something in my accumulated wisdom will make a new connection and fit better.

Eventually it reaches the point where things that should sound like parodies, like a museum of drainage, becomes genuinely interesting.
What does a Teams power user look like?
True, but your personal information and consent to use it has value.

That said, the Steam store page does tell you in advance this will be necessary if you know where to look. I don't buy those games, if I want them I'll eventually grab console versions used.
"An Algebraic Approach to Non-Classical Logics" by Helena Rasiowa was an eye-opener for me. Before that, "A short introduction to intuitionistic logic" by Gregory Mints is a great read which introduced me to Kripke models (and made me see that intuitionism can be understood classically in an intuitive way), but Rasiowa's book just unlocked how I saw logic from then on.
So which one should now one study - TypeScript type system, RxJS operators, or the next generation of vomit produced by the Angular team? Together they compose extremely unfunny clusterfuck. For now my CVs all fall into a black hole, you better not fall off the employment train.
I pay for YouTube Premium, even though ad blockers defang YouTube completely. I think consumers should definitely send such signals to companies, esp. since the price is of YT premium is very reasonable. I feel much less inclined to subscribe to most movie streaming platforms, as their UI and overall experience is usually worse than PirateBay + VLC, or to digital print media, as they still show ads to subscribers.

BTW what is kind of annoying is the "double ads" model in a lot of YT videos, where it's both YT showing you ad clips and then the youtuber editing in short commercials as well. You can pay YT premium to remove the first kind, but you can't do anything about the second kind...

My dislike for ads does not come from general disregard for the idea of advertising in the first place, but from the fact that most actual ads are "small e evil" - i.e. disingenuous, manipulative, gaudy, appealing to human weaknesses etc. They make the world a worse place.
I generally won't use any game store that doesn't have text reviews, they're so so much more useful than just numerical scores/star ratings.

I especially like being able to read negative reviews on games that look appealing to me to identify whether the primary complaints about them are actually things I'm likely to care about.

Idea for a competitor: let users post video reviews!
I believe that English is sufficient to translate Sanskrit texts to a reasonable degree of accuracy (provided that care is taken to explain what terms mean, in particular terms that have an existing meaning in other cultural traditions which the uninitiated reader may easily be confused with).

Thank you for citing the passage. Very amusing, particularly how Madhva used his prodigious memory to dazzle his opponents into submission. Apt that his capacious memory was, like the outsider-insider debate in the modern context, completely irrelevant to the scholars' interpretation which may have been correct in its own way.
No, only getting nuked with them does with 100% certainty.
I personally really disliked the wind rises - it seems apologetic to the role of an engineer in creating a machine used to kill people, just because they were beautiful. Perhaps I missed the point and there was a subtle sadness I did not perceive in the creation of the fighters. Also, a somewhat weird romance compared to even other Ghibli movies
This is because someone out there has a metric of "how many users registered" and they believe it is the most important thing.

I don't mind custom launchers that much (although there are a few because how bad they are) because sometimes they have uses or at least just another click but once it requires an account, my blood boils a bit as well
> Actual true deniers that say human have no effect in global climate, IMHO, are so few that they are not even worth mentioning.

I'm not sure this is true, but even if it is, I think it's only become true recently.

It's getting harder to deny climate change lately because it's more obvious every year that the climate is changing. It's noticeably hotter and drier in the UK every year than it used to be. Hell, I'm standing at a bus stop as I write this at 9am and I'm only wearing a light jacket. I'm pretty sure that would be unusually warm for a September morning ten years ago, but the whole month has been like this in 2022.

I don't hear people saying "climate change isn't happening" much anymore - the more common sentiment now seems to be a shrug. "It can't be that bad, can it? Or at least the really bad stuff won't happen until at least a few decades after I'm dead? I'm sure we'll figure something out - technology keeps getting better so humans will probably solve this problem. And anyway there's not like I can do anything about it personally so I might as well just enjoy the weather." That's the prevailing attitude now, I think.
You'd hope to not fall out of the kayak, but stay in it (with the skirt keeping most water out of the body of it), and do an Eskimo roll. The kayak, being very buoyant with all that air inside, would be unlikely to be sucked under. If you can't do an Eskimo roll, you would drown (presuming the whitewater traps you in the one spot rather than pushing you downstream)
you are sounding like that is a bad thing.

>They have built up too much consumer trust over the years, to the point that people automatically view competitors with suspicion. For competitors to succeed, Steam will have to start being aggressively anti-consumer.

this is often said about "sin goods", you know... like alcohol or drugs or guns..... people need cigarettes so why not ours.".....

we don't have good things on the internet these days. Good things are often taken over, sunset and killed off like geocities of the past. Steam is one-off nice and that is a good thing overall
Well, you can always install Mycroft on a Pi, or on your computer.

Almond is also interesting as a voice assistant, though I think it doesn't perform speech recognition itself.
The thing with Steam is - at no point in history it felt like the company is just milking its users. Something that otherwise never happens nowadays. Every single bigger company is just trying to maximize the profit by being borderline abusive, but not Valve, despite their vast dominance. For this very reason they have my loyalty and no exclusives, promotions, pricing plans etc. are going to make me switch.

Not to mention that as Linux user, they might be the single biggest force that made it so that I have more games on Linux than I have time to actually play.
in most AAA games, you need to accept an eula to play it as well even if it does not want an account
He was right. Hitchhiker's the movie is a travesty.
edit: not responding to the last paragraph which you added to your comment while I was typing in this response.
> they can cover an area with artillery, but for that you don’t need a drone

This is badly incorrect. You have fantastical ideas about how artillery works. Perhaps you've seen images of a few cratered wheat fields and figure that is Russian SOP and goes on 24x7. It doesn't. Those are major operations that require a lot of costly preparation and time. Russia can't afford to do it on a whim, firing whilly nilly at phantoms. No one can.

Fire must be directed. Otherwise you're just making noise.
The important thing is that foreign airlines can fly only between Russia and their country of origin. So some AirFrance can't be making flights to Turkey, for example.

1) of course, but it is not something that the west and Ukraine could do on their own when Russia was starting a war in 2014.

2) That's incorrect. It wouldn't have stopped Putin but only given him more than Ukraine.

3) Probably had little impact on Russia's decision to start a war.

4) The same as (2). It wouldn't have stopped Putin but only encouraged him even more to subjugate Ukraine, if it didn't want to play by Russia's rules.

In other words, I don't think you have any suggestions that would have helped to avoid this war.
Speaker for the Dead. It is a second book in Enders game franchise so you will probably need to read the first book first or watch the movie, but second book is mostly independent of the first one.
I read a paper some time ago, where somebody ran a facial recognition algorithm on the output of a GAN face generator. It found lots of images in the training data that looked strikingly similar.

In other words, one reason AI images look so good, is that look a lot like actual images.

Thing, is for the love of me, I can't find the paper anymore? Who knows it?
"Serverless" comes packaged and optimized for this mode of operation. Everyone expects the VMs to be short-lived. I'm sure it's all a remarkably boring VM service underneath.

I feel exactly the same way. Shows like Black Books or In betweeners I find funny with a dark humour, but there is a kind of uk comedy show (Staht lets flats, Peep show, Friday night dinner) that I just find depressing.

The usually involve some "loser" character getting hit with unfortunate circumstances over and over.
1. After Virtue by Alasdair MacIntyre

2. The Crisis of the Modern World by Rene Guenon

3. Islam and the Destiny of Man by Gai Eaton

IMO these books are critical reading in a post-modern world to make any sense of life.
Written from the perspective of someone whose battery never suddenly died from 30% in cold temperatures on a bike ride, leaving no way to phone your family. Apple’s power management for degraded batteries is a good thing and I wish they’d done it sooner.
I can't find it but Alex Horne did an interview about the US remake and why it didn't work. The main reason in his opinion was that the network insisted on making it 30min (presumably 22min with ads) and that meant they had to cut out a lot of the contestant banter. The tasks themselves are funny but what really adds the humour is the interactions between the contestants, the TaskMaster and his assistant.

Maybe that decision was due to the USA's lack of panel shows?
In the true spirit of Web3 you can simply do the Ethereum tutorial, "read" some whitepapers (they aren't meant to be though about deeply anyway) and start adverstising yourself as a blockchain expert.

Don't overthink it, the people you'll work with are already grifters themselves.

People are generally opposed to forking, right? If you fork a project, you effectively take over all the responsibilities to fix bugs and security issues etc. in that project, which is, most of the time, more work that the fork is worth. Now, a popular recent trend is “vendoring” your dependencies; i.e. bundling the dependencies with your software. However, vendoring does not differ much from forking. The responsibility may be slightly less, since you only have to fix bugs and issues affecting your application’s usage of the software. But, just like a fork, the longer you go without merging from the upstream version, the more work it is to maintain your fork.

I suggest that vendoring, just like forking, should be avoided, for largely the same reasons.

You mean something like this: https://clicks.co.za/raid_liquid-electric-mosquito-killer/p/... ?

Works extremely well. Since we use it in our bedroom, we have no mosquitos. We often only switch it on if we hear one and soon its over. Never see them die but from what I see it makes them 'groggy' (I assume before dying).

I have a different brand, but I assume its always the same two ingredients. I looked them up and those really only work on insects, nothing dangerous for humans.

Because microsoft got to big, which distorts the market. We learned this in economy 101 on high school: a monopoly is bad for the consumer. This here is technically not a monopoly but it is close.

The producer of good A is using its momentum in market A to push a product in market B. This way, any big conglomeration can use its big fat ass to push innovation out of market B. All it has to do is offer product B for free, with a purchase of A. This promotes lazy consumerism, nothing good ever comes from it.

This is why coupled sales should be banned. This is why the EU tried to uncouple browsers from OSs, why you now have to explicitly choose a browser.
There are very unsexy ways to reduce pull behaviour. In a previous life I built a CI/CD pipeline for an AI company and some of the container images were huge (ie GBs) so I did a lot of work on image caching. Mainly breaking up large containers into layers, starting with large layers with longer shelf-life, and incrementally adding faster-changing or smaller layers on top. Any time a large layer changed, it would trigger a packer rebuild for the CI runner AMI. The AMI also contained a start-up service that discovered and refreshed base images at boot time so they would (hopefully) never delay a real CI job. The natural scale up/down and max lifetime of the runner pool guaranteed that we never had an old AMI in use. It's likely that most people wouldn't bother with that level of optimization (or even host their own runners) but we need it.
Perhaps but I doubt anyone here is going to publicly admit support for mass murder on the scale of hundreds of millions as a means of dropping Co2 output. At least not without enough hatred and resentment drummed up for whatever arbitrary label of people that's unfortunate enough to be the sacrificial goat.
So good, it makes me sad
What work? That seems very comparable to any moderately nice webcam: Install software once, then forget about it. The "setup" for something like skype is then just selecting the cam from a drop down menu.

An argument I could see is having to get out the camera, put it onto a tripod, connecting power, ... etc.. Though that is only an issue if you cannot just leave everything set up.
Honestly how steam balances historical reviews versus recent ones is what helps the most to see a trajectory of where a game has come from and where it is now. See No Man’s Sky (from launch to now)

There is a lot of truth to this. To provide some further context on differences with a comparison of Tailscale and OpenZiti.

- Tailscale is a great VPN, super easy to use. Being based on wireguard means, it differs from OpenZiti (note, I work on the project too).
- Tailscale has proprietary features to make it easier to use (e.g., DERP). OpenZiti includes those as part of open source.
- Wireguard/TS will allow peers to join the same network segment, so if I want to restrict access, I have to start using firewalls to block ports or implement segmentation. This can be surmised as WG being 'default-open' whereas OpenZiti is 'default-closed' with outbound tunnels, least privilege, micro-segmentation, and attribute-based access.
- Wireguard/TS really cares about "connecting machines" and not so much about connecting "services". This includes operating at the host level. While OpenZiti can do this too, it also has SDKs which can be embedded in an application. That's useful for developers or creating 'clientless' solutions, which we are actively working on.

OpenZiti uses the Windows TUN (WinTun) that the Wireguard project made as (at least) part of our Windows tunneler. Thanks, Wireguard!
Out there somewhere are 2 different pilots of an attempt to make a US version of Red Dwarf.

If I were to choose three fiction, those would make the cut.
Fiction:

The Invincible by Stanislaw Lem - It shed light on me in regards to microelectronics, swarm intelligence. Nothing ever eased my learning curve more for genetic algorithms like this short novel! It is also a good read in general. It also taught me that the difference in scientific vs force vs emotional approach to unknown. Would recommend as a springboard from a day-to-day acitivities.

Roadside Picnic by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky - a Soviet sf classic, I've read it 3x already. It tells a story about a closed zone where 'aliens' left their artifcats, and how that changed people around them.

Ender's Game - I don't think there is an explanation needed. It is a total classic. It helps a lot to understand outsiders, not just aliens but a humans too.

All of the above are either hard or soft sf.
Without competition you don't have a market. You don't even have political discourse. You have centralized, planned economy and society, clearly defined 'optima', in which the academics have all the power. I think this should be added to the discussion section as there is an obvious conflict of interest here. Maybe we shoulkd have a world without power instead ...
Thanks. Whose the third party that might get access to the audio? First party would be me, second party would be Google and then the third?
Why did you quit your last job? This was the main question in my recent study I did with designers. I received 156 responses to my survey, most of them were from Product/UX designers, second and third in number of responses were graphic designers, and web designers.
Given the explanation above, this now makes a lot more sense: if the (non-eutectic) solder has cooled gradually, some the higher melting component will freeze first at the coolest location, and things will move around, leaving less of the "low-melting" components in the remaining molten solder. Once it's all solidified, some areas will have more tin and other areas will have more of the other elements. This will induce some weirdness, maybe the tin will want to diffuse to other parts where there is less (is this possible?) or maybe just there will be areas of relatively pure tin, perhaps more susceptible to whisker formation?

On the other hand an evenly-frozen mix of lead and tin (eutectic) wouldn't have these non-uniformities as there would be no driving force for it. One location freezing before the other wouldn't change the composition of the remaining melted solder.
I don't think it's a bad thing, necessarily. I do think anyone who thinks they can take on Steam at this juncture is fooling themselves, though. Epic did everything the article suggested and it's still not close to the point where a significant fraction of the gaming audience would consciously choose an Epic release over a Steam one.
It's not punished, just watch 1080p

In a lot of aspects the limiting factor of using mobiles as workstations is the software and OS, you can add a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse then cast it to a screen but all you will get is a bigger phone and not a workstation. Mobile CPUs are not that bad nowadays.
This is written from the point of view that implicitly assumes only a single application installed (= a container), where distro is reduced to API provider and some common utils the app author doesn't care about. It would be correct only if I was building an appliance. But as the user I have a general purpose computer which gets the work done over multiple apps.

I think there lies deeper, cultural division between developers, who think the world (at least the computer) revolves around their app and their downstream, who desperately try to avoid more and more code shipped unto them for the upstream's convenience. It's not really a difference for upstream if they bundle a dependency or not (or 10k+, in the case of npm), but it quickly becomes a big support burden if you have multiple such "apps" installed.
It’s not harder for you, when you do it, for your package which you maintain. However, when your machine has N large bundles of packages installed, and an issue is found with a vendored dependency in all of them, you have to wait for every single one of them to be upgraded, which requires the work of N people, individually, none of whom work for you.
