There were several missed opportunities that the engine gave a 0.3 to 0.5 point advantage to. One point in the engine rating is roughly equivalent to one pawn. Many end games are won or lost based on having an extra pawn or two. Two moves of 0.5 points adds up to a significant improvement.

From my experience watching tournaments, it happens regularly that missed opportunities would have given someone a 1 or 2 point engine rating advantage.

A big stopping point for me in making games or more visual things are assets.

Not OP but marketing was obviously a huge problem for Optane. Intel Marketing did an absolutely terrible job.

* You've got Optane Memory, the PDIMM, which only works with a limited set of Intel products

* You've got Optane the NVMe drive, which works with anything, and are available in sizes usable as a boot disk or for databases/ZIL/etc

* You've got Optane Memory, the 16gb/32gb cache drive used in shitty laptops to try and boost performance, but actually those are just really small NVMe SSDs and can be used as such if you want.

* You've got Optane the caching software, which only works with Intel motherboards/laptops, and basically does the same thing as PrimoCache/StoreMI.

etc. And Intel marketing just made zero effort to distinguish or clarify these products in any way... to this day you get people thinking you had to own an intel system to use optane drives.
It also has to be a topic that advertisers would pay to target you with. You can't talk about something super obscure that advertisers don't care about - like steam engines.
This kind of "instamining" happens for every cryptocurrency, going all the way back to Satoshi mining 1M BTC before people had even heard of Bitcoin. The decreasing reward schedule of many coins disproportionately rewards miners who get in at the very beginning.
Asset creation is indeed part of the problem, but another part of the problem is scale. Take a title like Resident Evil - it's fully feasible that a team of under 20 people could make the game, if they were dedicated and could source outside talent. One person can do texture work/game art, one person can do the music and pretty much everyone else is working on asset production or programming.

Think about how that's scaled up in the past two decades, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arEdruKxrQ8

Game development really is a whole different game. Not only are you making higher-resolution assets, but there's often a greater demand for variety and detail. Resident Evil's debut has a fairly limited palette, mostly combining cityscape textures and simple gothic/wooden architecture for the indoor segments. Resident Evil 8, on the other hand, takes place across 5 or 6 unique locations, all with their own unique styling and trappings. First-person perspectives demand well-educated firearm experts to tune every polygon of gun geometry. High-resolution assets require dedicated artists to give them filigree. Nowadays, games are built by teams of specialists who each have a little something to contribute. My favorite example comes from a teacher I had in high school, who was married to a motorcycle engineer that exclusively worked on video game assets. Apparently he had no shortage of work, and I don't doubt it.

Indoctrination of toddlers is one of the most evil things in this world. They still haven't developed their brains enough to have common sense, they will believe whatever the adults tell them is true. It's akin to brainwashing, and the worst part is that indoctrinated parents will indoctrinate their children themselves, just to be accepted in their community.

Wait for the kids to grow old enough to choose a religion for themselves, meanwhile you can still teach them values, ethics, and common sense.
You can see the underlying beat: it doesn't really require any special skill I think (though I haven't seen the iPhone waveforms).
The amount of love and attention to detail in this truly impresses me.
You basically have three components to the present wildfire situation: 1. climate change / mega-droughts, 2. fire suppression especially in contrast to Indigenous Peoples of the past who would burn forests according to agricultural practices, 3. land use change, i.e., much greater amount of urban / wild land mingling. (Edited: grammar / clarification).
It sounds like you're burned out. Take a vacation ASAP. Take that time to rest. Beyond vacations, make sure you take one day/week where you rest - actually rest. Eschew productivity on that day. This was called sabbath in the past and was connected with religion, but there's much to learn from that tradition of a weekly rhythm of rest to create a secular sabbath. Disconnect - turn off the phone, get away from screens, no social media. Get outside in nature. Hike, bike, row, etc. Let your mind wander. After you feel like you've entered that rested state for while, take some time to reassess your situation.

It's good that you're taking classes and are constantly learning, but consider that in this season of burnout those (vocationally related) activities could be contributing to the problem.
I've been using v2 for a month or so and it's really great. There are a few things that feel a little bit rougher than the Rust equivalent (Tauri), but Go is just so much faster to code in that this has been a pleasure to work with.

One thing that has stood out to me is that when I have two Edge windows open, for example and I switch to the last used window from Safari, both windows overlap instead of just the one window I was working with.
They are making politically expedient decisions that move the state towards its clean energy commitments. Yes, there may be some hiccups down the road, but that is the price to pay for putting off the transition for so long. And as one of the faster movers in this space CA will almost undoubtedly move the market in a way that will make it cheaper and easier for everyone else. Look at the "California Solar Initiative" (CSI) for example. It incentivized solar installations across the state, well before small scale installations were economically viable. And across the lifetime of the program, solar prices came down and adoption grew.
Take the past centuries and try to find 80 years where trust in the powers that be would have been optimal, contrasted against endless skepticism, cynicism and general distrust. And there's no reason to think this trend is changing; a strong argument could made that it's trending worse.

The point I make with this is that if we view things through the lens of being 'hard' vs being 'soft', then the worst case outcome of being 'hard' is relatively miniscule - looking a genuine gift horse in the mouth may cost one a 'gift.' By contrast the consequences of being 'soft' can be extreme. To run with the same analogy - happily opening your gates to that beautiful wooden horse from Troy. What a gift!

The reason I use 80 years as the metric is because that is, more or less, the time before we get to discover the answer to that final question. And you never know whether you're in a good time, or a bad time. The bad guys don't simply announce "Hey guys. I'm evil. Let's go do evil things to those other guys under farcical rationale, because it sounds like a good thing to do. Who's with me!?" So all one can do is optimize for your entire life, or whatever remains of it.
I built a similar system for a Doom port--compatibility was an important issue for me, and conveniently I was adding client/server multiplayer with state deltas, so I had all the infra built to do a full dump every tic. It sounds wild, but if your game is already deterministic and you support saving, you're 80% of the way there.
It’s weird seeing the alphanerd not use parameters and modify the source file for inputs every time.

Ah I see, Odysee is the “new YouTube for the far right”. I guess it makes sense why he’s talking the way he is.
We had this same kind of discussion a few weeks back. The funniest thing to me was how the CEO was hiding behind “the budget” for why they would not give raises commensurate with inflation.

You know, the budget that the CEO and his cronies create?

But anyways, apparently we don’t need COL adjustments because of the “total compensation package” and “amazing corporate culture”.
As a sibling comment noted, I'm pretty sure Youtube keeps the original video files, so generational loss should not be a huge problem.

The problem is that Youtube is bitstarving 240p and 360p streams. That makes sense when a video is available at a higher resolution, and the 240p version is for people stuck on dial up or whatever. But in cases where 240p is the highest resolution available, Youtube should provide a high quality 240p stream!

> Maybe therapy could help.

I think this is where I'd start. At times in my life I focused my efforts at solving my unhappiness by thinking I needed to change my job. In retrospect I mostly did that because I found it easier or more socially acceptable to say something like "I hate my job" than "I am lonely and depressed" (even when only thinking it to myself). Therapy was pretty good at working through some of this, at least for me.

Of course, there are jobs that aren't right for a person. Talking to someone might help you sort out whether that's the case.

My line of thought - which is perhaps partly and indirectly based on "Small is beautiful" [1] applied by others to software - is that if "large project" is what gets you into (various) troubles, then you should avoid doing this. And indeed, the idea of breaking large projects into small, human-size components is a common "good practices" recommendation.

OTOH I experience quite the opposite everyday in the software industry, so I understand one could reject that position as too idealistic.

How does a game like Factorio take so long to load? The game assets themselves are like megabytes. What is it doing?
I guess another way of thinking about it is that cutting taxes (in theory) leads to increased consumer spending which equates to a increase in demand. In supply constrained environments like what we see today increases in demand will result in increases in price. Widespread increases in price is inflation. Idk it seems pretty intuitive to me and is a pretty common theory, for instance its mentioned here https://www.forbes.com/sites/howardgleckman/2022/06/02/shoul...

I read that as "we just have to stop behaving in the characteristic way we're predetermined to forever behave in"

The "corruption" related to rotations arises from the obvious failings of the system and a need to both work around it enough to get by and cope with it enough to not go insane.

So long as the incentives remain perverted, so will the behavior.
> The unfortunate truth with any publicly-traded company is that the CEO's job depends on that growth.

Well, boo hoo for him. That's what he gets the comically outsized paycheck for.

We as an industry need to stop accepting that as an excuse for CEOs cutting wages, hiring, and perks for regular employees (not talking about the executives here) when the company is still making massive profits. If there's a genuine cash-flow problem, then yeah; it sucks but it happens. But screw this "We've got record profits, so now we need to shaft the lot of you that got us there so that we can juice those numbers even higher in order to further increase our high scores!"
I'll give you my complaint with Spring: It tries to hide the libraries underneath and offer the "Spring way". But it's always a leaky abstraction, so you end up having to learn both (for example) Hibernate and how Spring interacts with Hibernate. Instead of avoiding a learning curve it just adds a second one.

I greet your suggestion to add another layer of abstraction on top with great skepticism.
I find it interesting that your way of proving anti-Zionist sentiment is to demonstrate that there are quantifiably more leftist editors on Wikipedia. That does not demonstrate your thesis of anti-Israeli bias. Plenty of people who at least claim to be leftists are profuse in their support of Israel.

Neither should it surprise that a scholarly endeavor for bored young people on the internet tends to tilt leftward: there is a big education differential between political poles, and a strong demographic tilt based on age. To put it in a nutshell: if boomers spent their time writing citations instead of pounding out all-caps screeds about ivermectin in the comments sections of local newspapers, there would be a more robust wikipedia contingent.
> Podcasting is one-to-many communication, so wouldn't it be more efficient if the 1 person who has something to say invested some time up-front to pre-process information to be more consumable for N people?

Alternatively, a podcast where a fraction of its N listeners could do one thing each to contribute to how the thing is consumed for others scales even better (given a high enough threshold value for N).

We've seen how beneficial rules of thumb like Wadsworth's constant can be, or how valuable it is to come across a comment that gives a timestamped table of contents/index for YouTube videos when the creator hasn't provided one themselves. A successful business built on taking that kind of intent and applying the wiki approach to it is probably inevitable.
I suspect that if I was >6ft man built like a brick my threat assesment migh be less anxious.

Women, I think, are often not specifically targeted for being women but rather for being small and weak. Like I could be.

I don't argue that women have it worse. I just think it's quantitative difference not qualitative.

Women might be more prone to be victims of sexual violence because there's more straight men than gay men but the rest of their risks comes from sexual dimorphism that makes them smaller, weaker and slower on average.

Also men are on average more accepting towards violence aginst men so this increses danger for potential male victims.
Personally I find that wifibox is seamless, giving me modern 802.11ac speeds on my FreeBSD laptop. Not ideal, of course, but it removes a major pain point.
Docker compose doesn't work like that. People that uses it must pull the new dockerfile/config first, stop the container, rebuild it again using `docker-compose build` and start the container again. Nothing automatic about it. I suspect the mapping is pretty much set in stone because many people won't go out of their way to update their instance.

IMO it would be better if they release a pre-built image in docker hub so people has easier time hosting it on other container platforms instead of just docker compose.
This looks interesting, but I'm always hesitant to use anything in Go that's developed with a Rails mindset. They're two very different ways of looking at development, and trying to anything in Go using a Rails mindset usually ends in very confused code.

You don't get what I'm saying. I'm saying market dynamics (ie, setting the price lower when the grid needs less power) plus the inevitable AI that will game it to everyones advantage will solve this problem automatically.

For a few years, WhatsApp "e2ee" messages were stored in plain text on your Google drive backup (that's how it worked on Android. Don't know about apple). This was even stated in their FAQ.

This was as part of a FB/GOOG deal where the storage for WhatsApp backups did not count for your Google drive quota.

Recently the backups did finally become encrypted as well. With a key known to the WhatsApp app. (On Android, stored in a file called "key" in the apps local storage)

However, when you restore the backup, where does the key come from? From the WhatsApp servers, obviously.

So still, FB and GOOG together still have full access to your daily backed up messages.

And the free storage deal is still there, of course.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong and you know better.

> Their phones have all been pretty buggy. They have their place but total quality of their software has been crazy lackluster and nowhere close to competing with apple.

There are things that can be improved in Android software, and some of those upstream problems, plus vendor add-ons, can cause phones to be buggy. But there are three billion active Android devices in use - buggy or not, it is in significant use.

It's also nice being able to compile AOSP (or in my case LineageOS), and sideload it onto my Motorola Edge 5G and be able to futz around with it.
I use both lxc and docker and have uses cases for both, I think it really comes down to how stateful something is or how lazy I feel about writing a Dockerfile. I had a really hard time with learning lxd and really only got into using lxc without the daemon.

One trend with docker that I personally don't like is that a lot of projects prefer docker-compose over regular Dockerfiles (though some of them support both), and this leads to a lot of bloat with how many containers it takes to run one application and duplication where each app will need its own database, redis, webserver, etc. containers.

That's not a problem when you are at the scale to need that kind of orchestration and have the resources to run that many containers, but personally I would rather have one database host that all my containers can talk to and one reverse proxy/webserver to make them accessible to make better use of resources and get better density on one host.

One downside with lxc is that there's been some fragmentation with the image creation side of it, I had been used to using lxc-templates for years, which are just shell scripts for bootstrapping and configuring your container and pretty common between distros. I found a bug with creating containers for the latest version of Alpine that I fixed, and only then did I find out that lxc-templates are deprecated and essentially unmaintained, and that now distrobuilder is the preferred way to build lxc containers, at least per Canonical. That seems to be another Canonical-ism, since the distrobuilder docs say that snap is the only way to install it unless you build from source, so that's a huge no from me, and I also didn't feel like learning the yaml config for it.

I was actually considering moving my docker daemon into an unprivileged lxc container like the article mentions, but haven't gotten around to it.
I don't know about you, but I can't buy bread with 'thanks.'
