But cheating is just one aspect of the problem. Another very common thing to do is Smurf, where you get an alt account and end up playing in low-level matches again and easily win. Shouldn’t it be possible to prevent these players from coming back?

Or how about that person who wants to shoot their opponent IRL just because they’re a bad sport? Shouldn’t it be possible to report them and get them banned permanently?

When a game is free to play like OW2, all of these things which are already huge problems for the OW1 player base become even worse because there’s no cost barrier to entry.

SMS seems like the least intrusive way to identify the same person across different accounts.
The issue isn't specificity though, it's general admittance into court. Young Thug doesn't say things like, "I shot Dequavious Butts on September 2nd" it's generalized criminality. "Pull up with the stick, hit a lick, now I'm rich" then they have an expert witness explain the meaning of that to the jury and call it evidence of a criminal conspiracy.
This is fine. Their market capitalization lost value. The business fundamentals remain strong, except for Meta and perhaps Tesla.

> I define a goal that I can design next laptop in this laptop.

This is a smart man (or woman).
Besides Dostoevsky, there is abundant wisdom and deep truths to be found in the classics of Christianity. The apologetics of C.S. Lewis (Screwtape Letters, The Problem with Pain, The Great Divorce), Augustine's Confessions and City of God, Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton and G.K. Chesterton's Everlasting Man.

These are seldom read (or known) by young people today and I see that as a tragedy. Western spirituality was demolished and nothing substantial has emerged to fill the void left, besides a coterie of self-help charlatans and intellectual tricksters, with the predictable results that we see all around us today.

This is also something that Nassim Taleb (a voracious reader and lifelong student of the Western classics but also an Orthodox Christian) frequently outlines.

Stadia Is a Major Driver of Vulkan Adoption
It's a threat, because meat replacement is so heavily promoted, no doubt with government mandates coming.

I'm personally a vegetarian, but I can't stand the government interference in food, I sympathise with meat eaters. I hear of farmers having to keep cows in sheds to protect orchids, and other nonsense. (As if it is a kindness to do this to cows, and feed them grains, etc.) Obviously this is a prelude to making meat a scarce product, cows being dangerous to the environment apparently, so people will be forced to eat artificial, human-designed, frankenfoods.

I don't think we can even conceive of the diseases and behavioural issues that a non-natural diet will cause. They aren't going to be positive though :(
The way I interpret agelessness is that your body would be capable of maintaining homeostasis over indefinite periods of time. Internally caused disease would need to cease to exist (cancer, heart disease, dementia etc.). Essentially your body would be indistinguishable medically speaking, year to year, decade to decade. Of course extreme external factors could still kill you. Trauma, Infectious diseases etc.
Love that you finally admit they were threats, and now are just trying to minimize them. Go ask the Germans how empty Biden’s threats to end the gas pipelines they depended on were.

EDIT: Maybe average within this “hell 500” or whatever clique.

But: Saying that you are just average compared to the general population when you are clearly above average is humble. Saying that you did six laps compared to George Mallory’s eight laps[1]—which forced him to get up ~before sunset in order to be able to ride his bike all day up and down a mountain/hill—is just a humble brag.

At some point the supposed humbleness loses all suspension of disbelief.

[1] Getting up to a best of six laps still took George Mallory from about New Years Day until Autumn.
These are extremely common in The Netherlands, too. Pretty much all streets that are one way for cars, are two way for bikes.

Plant-based meat replacements tend to be highly processed food, which may neither be good for us nor the environment. Really, they are first a foremost exploiting a gap in the market at the moment.
I wish there were more sites and people thinking like this.
Found the guidelines:

Release format: Classification decisions may be stricter on video works than on film. This is because of the increased possibility of under-age viewing
as recognised in the Video Recordings Act (see Annexe), as well as the increased possibility of works being replayed or sections viewed out of context. Accordingly, a video work (either packaged or online) may occasionally receive a higher classification than on film, or require new or different cuts. (Video works may also receive a higher classification because they contain additional content.)

Lychee – Self-hosted photo-management done right
Disclaimer: I'm not associated with the Lychee dev team, just a very happy user. I've been using Lychee to self-host my photos for years now and the experience has been extremely positive. The interface is beautiful, intuitive and very streamlined. The layout supports both desktop and mobile browsers. The project is under active development and the developers take a lot of effort in addressing the open issues on the github repo. If you're looking for a self-hosted photo gallery solution, this is highly recommended.
This isn't the plant-based meat or regular meat products that you would get off the shelf:

> Meat and plant-based meat analogue diets were prepared as follows: Firstly, all visible fat and connective tissue were removed. Pork or beef muscles were cut into smaller sizes that were visibly similar to plant-based meats. Secondly, the samples were freeze-dried and ground to a powder. All the resulting powders were passed through a 25-mesh sieve. Thirdly, the content of the main components of the freeze-dried meat powder were determined and shown in Table S1. Fourthly, the nutritionally balanced semi-synthetic AIN-93M formula2 was used as reference and the ingredients in it were replaced by meat or meat analogues according to the results of the determination. The protein in the diet is derived entirely from meat or plant-based meat analogues. Finally, the granule and purified type diets were prepared by Trophic Animal Feed High-tech Co., Ltd., China. The ingredient composition and nutritional content of diets were shown in Tables S2 and Tables S3. Except for the higher sodium, fiber, or fat content in plant-based meat analogues that cannot be fully balanced based on the protein content, various other nutrients are present in equal amounts in real meat and plant-based meat analogue diets.
Or if Putin had taken the gloves off earlier (as many nationalists to the right of him had been demanding) it would have ended very differently as well.
Good catch. The author directly contradicts themselves here. Can’t help but wonder if the rest is worth reading now.
It is, I had some photos on Picasa back then, they’re still here among my oldest on google photos.
Thanks for pointing that out, maybe I’ll try it.

The question is, if I say “icosahedron” will it actually make a (3D) icosahedron
A person with that attitude doesn’t need a perfect list of books, they need to live more of their life. Fiction will likely find them when they’re ready for it. Seems futile to try to convince them otherwise, if they’re presently writing off fiction and film.
I don't think anyone assumes that. Our brain is very good at forgetting things deemed unimportant. Your question is already applicable now. Ask me what I just read and I can give you a clear answer. Ask me the same question in 4 weeks and I most likely couldn't give you an answer. Am I the same person? Most people would say yes.

What if the deep truths about the human nature are in fact very shallow?

I can imagine that all human deepness is, not unlike the very sofisticated feathers of the peacock, just a tool to increase status & SMV.
Sadly, the "everything is bad" refrain which 10 years ago was invented by conservative eurasianists is today picked up by the new liberal left.
>Obviously this is a prelude to making meat a scarce product, cows being dangerous to the environment apparently, so people will be forced to eat artificial, human-designed, frankenfoods.

Loads of cultures have good plant based foods and dishes. It’s only when I started living in a western country did I experience the bizarre need to make meat analogues. Just cook vegetables better.
Several of the Russians I talk to think Igor Sechin is the one maneuvering for a palace coup. There's been a lot of "close Putin allies" who have died since the war started. Sechin runs Rosneft, so if anyone is positioned to "turn the gas back on" it might be him. If he was shopping around the idea "let's get rid of Putin, turn the gas on, and get back to printing money again"....Putin blowing up the pipeline as a necessary evil to kneecap Sechin......that sounds possible.
Cheating is a tiny issue as in, its still rare. It's more rare than bugs in your typical shoddy post-2000 game. Any competent gamedev can deter it easily. Since they are deterring it, its rare for you to encounter a cheater. Remember, we're primarily concerned about general games here, not specific high ranked matches. Those are the _only_ place that any sort of extra validation would even start to be acceptable.

All that matters for casual games is that the company actively does something to minimize cheating. Identity verification is not a way to do this as it is not an active measure. It just puts one hoop for people to jump through. More useful is to do typical statistical analysis as that will catch 99% of actual impactful cheating (subtle cheating doesn't matter much since the average player won't be able to tell the difference anyway) and rinse and repeat.

Nice job using in-kernel a/c to claim how advanced the problem is. When those came out 20 years ago, it was just a few small patches to bypass them. Even some of them were still only signature based so you could just change the signature of your cheat and bypass it. But I'll stop here since you don't seem to comprehend the concept of cat-and-mouse nor the fact that pursuing it to the end just makes the game unplayable for innocent players.

Yes, I know some games requires phone verification to play at all, and I'm against that. My initial reaction to this thread was "um we are just now caring about this? they're moving onto photo ID now, which creates real life fraud problems". Gee I can't wait until game devs start stealing my ID and the subsequent "fix" of using a trusted third party that's also abusive and blocks me from multiple games because they have monopoly, and has integration bugs causing the game not to work at all if I press the wrong button on their web page embedded into the game.
And this is making a lot of people angry, alas.

I wish the author the best on their reading journey! I feel like this article shares a valuable experience, and I would encourage anyone who's on the fence or who views literature as a waste of time to give it an earnest try.

Jumping straight into the classics can be hard due to the differences in language, cultural assumptions, and even just the fact that some of them are over-hyped, and it's tough to enjoy a book on its own terms when it's presented as "one of the best books ever."

Find some recommendations on the internet, go to the library, and check out a couple. If they don't strike your fancy, don't worry about it, and move on to the next recommendation until you find something you connect with and you want to keep reading.
How do you see Google Docs? It doesn't have ads but instead I think some people actually pay for it.
In my experience this is limited to a very select social strata. Much of Silicon Valley are worker bees who code for food and shelter for their families and don't go far beyond that.
Any board like that would probably be extremely niche and thus expensive, since there is no obvious "correct" way how it should be done for a general case.

I'd look into finding a board with little extras and wiring up (potentially through a simple backplane) multiple ones of those. Or go for one big FPGA and just run different topologies between components inside that.
I think that this really just shows that the digestive system changes and adapts to a plant-based diet. They haven't shown that there are any disadvantages to such changes; for all we know, this is actually beneficial.
The Limits of Rationality

I was surprised to learn recently that meat alternatives are classified as "ultra-processed" foods (dairy milk substitutes are also classified as ultra-processed as well).

From: What is ultra-processed food? https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/articles/what_is_ultra-processed_...

> Ultra-processed foods usually contain ingredients that you wouldn’t add when cooking homemade food. You may not recognise the names of these ingredients as many will be chemicals, colourings, sweeteners and preservatives.

> More surprising to some will be...“other ultra-processed foods”. This includes baked beans, tinned soups, meat alternatives, soy and drinks used as dairy milk substitutes.

> It can be tricky to identify food that has been ultra-processed because in some cases the same type of food could be minimally processed, processed or ultra-processed, depending on how it’s been made. For example: Bread made from wheat flour, water, salt and yeast is processed, but add emulsifiers or colourings and it becomes ultra-processed.

(My emphasis)
Then the artists should be under the same requirements to not promote hate, misogyny, anti authoritarianism, etc. Don’t make pop music and then tell people they can’t sing along… it’s part of how music is enjoyed.
there are many ways to be fuzzy, so it's quite subjective.

uFuzzy can be made tolerant to extra insertions in the matches between/around the specified needle chars, and can also handle out of order terms. those together cover a surprising amount of common cases.

but it's not fuzzy in unlimited ways, such as letter omissions in the match (a superset of substitutions) like a spellcheck or levenshtein distance would be...but extreme tolerance often produces garbage results, too.

actually, might be able to handle single-char-per-term omissions as well:

“Destroyed everything in their path?” War would be over if that had been their strategy. Did the recent mobilization not teach you anything at all? Putin has been fighting with the gloves on, if not one hand tied behind his back. The “surgical precision” you get fed in the media is also a direct function of close coordination with the US war machine, which starves the American people of even potable water as it spends more than the next several largest countries combined.
Well, since nuclear plants cannot be insured these costs as well as the waste cost are mostly carried by the state. There are various calculations on these costs online. Not sure about other costs, but I'm sure there are more (e.g. security for transportation)

I love the whole debate about vegetarianism because it's just so obviously solvable.

When >50% of Olympic athletes with their optimised fitness plans are vegetarian/vegan, then you'll know it makes sense.
Pedestrians should be allowed to walk any which way including stairs and other shortcuts.

Bikes should have dedicated lanes that are always two way.

Vehicles should be the most inconvenienced (one way streets, one turn direction, etc) as “going around” isn’t a major problem.

Designing to minimize interaction between the various forms helps tremendously-if bikes and pedestrians keep interacting negatively it gets harder to get support for more bike infrastructure (even though that’s usually the solution). Just like bollards can keep cars container, steps can help keep bikes contained.

Having read about 1 to 2/3rds through most of Dostoyevsky's books: I really believe they're over-hyped.

Same with Pushkin, Tolstoy, Bulgakov, and so on -- with the only exception of Solzhenitsyn.

I think the difference is I'm Slavic, speak a few of the languages, and come from the cultures that succeeded those authors; so they read mostly as sentimental, overly-emotional, and superstitious, i.e. what I feel are the worst parts of the mythologized "Russian soul." Their works don't feel new, novel, and original: I've seen parts and pieces of it, reflections of its essence, expressed all over the average Slavic person.

> Dostoevsky's genius lies in his deep understanding of human nature and of spelling out truths about it in ways that inspire reflection.

If you resonate with this statement, perhaps you should also watch Tarkovsky's The Mirror.

But for me, the only truth Dostoyevsky has shown me is that people are very flawed, are the source of all of their own problems, and that Fyodor was a deeply emotional person. But I am not, and I find his expression of those emotions to be grating.

I resonate more with the quotes in the Wikipedia article for Idyot:

> However the chief criticism, among both reviewers and general readers, was in the "fantasticality" of the characters. The radical critic D.I. Minaev wrote: "People meet, fall in love, slap each other's face—and all at the author's first whim, without any artistic truth." V.P. Burenin, a liberal, described the novel's presentation of the younger generation as "the purest fruit of the writer's subjective fancy" and the novel as a whole as "a belletristic compilation, concocted from a multitude of absurd personages and events, without any concern for any kind of artistic objectivity."
