There is a lot of empty space in EVE, but there's also a lot of activity. The fact that your empty space can rapidly turn hostile forces you to take a certain approach to gameplay that I've yet to experience in any other game. I used to live in wormhole space, which feels even more empty than regular EVE space as there is no "local chat" listings of people in the same system as you. Corps that live in wormhole space generally just assume that there are cloaked spies everywhere (and they're usually right).

I also don't think permadeath is a reasonable parallel. Your pilot's skills in EVE are not lost on death, and these are required to pilot certain ships as well as gating some other things in game. XP for these skills are simply gained over time from a queue. On death, you respawn as a new clone, retaining all your skills but losing all the physical possessions you had on you at time of death. These have an in-game monetary value, which is where the desire to avoid dying comes from. There are two categories of possession you can lose this way: your ship and everything in/on it (called the fitting), and your implants. Implants augment your skills, and can be rather expensive. Once they are inserted, they cannot be removed without being destroyed, so it's quite common for people to go out and have fun in cheap ships after losing an expensive clone before later reinserting expensive implants again.

I miss EVE too, but I also simply don't have time to give my old characters the justice they deserve anymore.

I agree and it drives me insane. Imagine in any other industry, like civil engineering, someone claims to have experience constructing a pedestrian bridge, despite never being near a construction site. Or having credentials that actually belong to someone else. It is fraud. If it was the medical industry they would be sent to prison.

This advice comes from tunnel vision and makes perfect sense if you know that you have exactly two pods running at any given time. But if you have exactly two pods, then why bother use k8s? IIRC one of the major selling points of K8s was on-demand scaling or auto scaling horizontally. Which means the number of pods you have in the cluster is dynamic.

In the context of pods dynamically spinning up and spinning down, it's bad when a pod replica can't be allocated in the cluster "predictably" but there is nothing worse than when a new pod (new deployment) fails because "Marcus the pod" drank all the water and now I have to call DevOps and wait god knows how long before they spin up a new node to guarantee a spot for the new pod.

Bin-packing is a already an np-hard problem. If you remove limits from CPU then you're adding probabilities into the mix. So, for the love of god, always use limits unless you have a very specific use case.

Yep. A few months of just very casual study took me MUCH further than 3 years of daily Spanish in school. The regular grammar and 10,000 other nice additions takes so many complexities out of the language. It also just sounds beautiful to me.
Okay, George Washington. You sure showed me the error of my ways.
This is pretty normal, I’ve done it at several FAANGs too. I’m not sure what it’s supposed to verify but I guess the penalty is if your representative lies they can put them in jail.
We (BoxyHQ) are an SSO and Directory Sync vendor like WorkOS and they are spot on with the details of the SAML vulnerabilities. We have guarded against these attacks so our customers don't have to but plenty of companies still roll out their own implementations, not all of them securely.
Lots of reasons.

First a lot of us native English speakers are monolingual, because that's all we need to be. A lot of us view fluency in another language as something reserved for incredibly intelligent people. Esperanto is so easy to learn that it disabuses us of that notion.

Secondly, linguistic curiosity. What's a constructed language designed to be easy to use actually like? Is it as easy as people say it is?

Lastly, community. There aren't as many esperanto speakers as there are Hindi or Spanish or Mandarin speakers, sure. No one is denying that. But a brief search suggests there's 100,000 active speakers, which isn't nothing.
I know too much already... they need to spy less on their people.
It's not as if these requirements apply in practice to the regulators imposing the fines.

>Our future is going to be a shitstorm of breakage. Covid should have taught us a lesson but we're going to go on while infrastructure (physical and virtual) starts to break and no Top 10 grad is going to want to touch it. You're not going to have a choice about plumbing or roof leaks - nobody is coming for a week and you are on your own.

Its already happening. It feels like a slow collapse. I am trying to maintain my 16 year old car because it is low milage and I just don't want to pay the absurd prices for a new car until maybe next year (especially a Mazda which I like but not at that price). My trusty mechanic has had so many labor issues that while he provides me good service even he is slipping. I've been teaching myself car repair so I can do more and more myself because I know it will be done right and with extreme care.

I see the same happening to local hospitals and doctors offices. I've had to bring parents there or go there myself a few times this year and I can clearly see the degradation in service. I can't do anything about this compared to the car other than take really good care of myself and hope for the best.

Same applies to all of retail. The quality of all mass market stuff just seems worse and worse as time goes on. I was observing this while having a bagel and coffee from Dunkin. Everyone is just flat out "over it".
Absolutely. This line of thought actually best explains a lot of things he was doing in the last months and maybe years.
Winning the war in Ukraine, however, is a primary objective. Wasn't his whole plan to energy-starve Europe over the winter until they came crawling back?

The only way Putin has a remote chance of winning the war at this point is if western support stops, destroying the one mechanism that might actually do that seems counterproductive.
I know a lot of people with Verizon and Android. Why don't you go to a store with your friend and ask the nice people if they can help troubleshoot.

I'd argue that the positive real numbers are existing/physical/God-made, while the negative numbers (even the negative integers) exist only to help the computations.
Little piece of Tandy errata: They had their own subway line in downtown Fort Worth[1]. It was there before they built their headquarters, The Tandy Center, but they kept it running and it terminated in a parking lot that also had a little farmers market that my family used to sell watermelons at when I was a kid in the early 90s. If we sold all of the melons early we would take the train into the Tandy Center for the fun of it.

Yes, in societies invested in arranged marriage disrupting that system rapidly is going to have a huge detrimental effect. Just like dismantling long standing etiquette of courting and flirting in Western society has a huge detrimental effect. None of this implies that anyone should be forced into anything by suitors or parents or that Westerners can't have arranged marriages / Japanese can't flirt. But cultures and institutions don't just spring up overnight so we have to protect ones that have been working.
Thank you. I think this makes a lot more sense actually. I can go to db.r6g.xlarge and double the memory to 32gb from the t3.xlarge I'm currently on for an additional ~$117/month vs getting to 32gb with the db.m5.2xlarge for $308 more per month. Also, looks like X2g among the memory optimized is the lowest price per GiB of RAM (for MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL). Thoughts on the X2g? The db.x2g.large, for example, doubles memory AND network performance (Gbps) vs current DB for less than $30 more per month. Does drop vCPU down to 2 from 4, which might not matter given where CPU utilization seems to spike to (~50% at peak) https://ibb.co/WsxN6D3
is it common for people to make emulated servers for games

Guess so? At least for popular ones. Aren't private WoW servers like that? And I know Ragnarok Online had similar servers

motivation for EVE specifically

same motivation as others. You can mod your servers, you can make playing truly free etc
Thanks -_-
A fishing boat would be a good cover. They're going to be wandering around the Baltic and are expected to have the necessary winches on deck.
GitHub breaks homebrew in GitHub Actions with only 5 days' notice
Github rolled out a breaking change to Github-hosts Action Runners, that breaks `brew install`

They did not follow their own commitment of announcing a breaking change 1 month before roll out nor do they provide a way to opt out or use an older version of their image.

Moreover, their suggested fixes are incomplete or just don't work.
> Those 4 or 5 people boarding your plane in wheelchairs now? It's going to be 3X that in a decade.

Well... have you seen what happens to the 4 or 5 wheelchairs on the other end of the flight? They often remain empty. Looks to me like people are gaming the system to get preferential treatment on plains.

Yes? They also convinced web archives to delete their backups of Kiwifarms so we're not able to verify any claims.
Why not? If it is stopped by the Russian order, Russians violated the contract. If it is stopped because unknown terrorists blew up the pipeline, it's force majeure, Gazprom is in the clear.

Also, they have one more pipeline left. Which they are also threatening to - guess what? - shut down.

Doesn't make sense for it to be Russia? Or does it now?
Can’t exactly spring up your manufacturing base during an energy crisis. Mostly they’ll just try to keep their important ones afloat.
Isn't that also why billionaires close to Russia have been "dying"? Their assets would be property of the state ergo Putin's coffers.

> I will want to win, but you can't win, you can only dominate

It is common for EVE players to refer to quitting as "winning EVE". I won EVE around 7 years ago after falling 800-hours-in-6-months deep into the optimisation black hole you describe and realising it was immensely fun but unsustainable.
You're not. Debug builds are rarely that useful and tbh I don't understand why is there such a big fuss about it. The most difficult and most time consuming problems found in production code can only be debugged and, well, understood and hence fixed in production (optimized) code only.

That said, under assumption you have a good code coverage with tests, and your code uses a lot of asserts to check pre- and post-conditions, debug builds can be useful for early detection of broken invariants.

I get that the development cycle is shortened through shorter compile times but that is simply the artifact of all optimizing compilers and not something which is exclusive to C++. And luckily this can be easily alleviated.

Expecting to have comparable runtime performance (which one is it?) in languages backed with optimizing compilers seem a bit delusional to me and even more so if you're in the realm of soft real-time systems.
You really think that there is enough integrity in German politics and more important in German people that they won't change course? I don't. Seeing how people follow irrational populists on the smallest expected change in their life makes me doubt that.
Soldered connections can be surprisingly crap (intermittent electrical gremlins) especially if you're a noob. You can't easily spot a cold solder as a noob. Meanwhile even a noob can easily judge basic crimp quality. Better to get an all-in-one box assortment of cheap male and female connectors off eBay

I started out soldering but now it's mostly limited to installing connectors into PCBs followed by hot glue around the housing for mechanical rigidity
As I mentioned this, or other variants I've seen being posted in twitter, with Russia doing this does not compute.

A kilometer wide gas bubble on surface indicates substantial damage. I think it safe to assume that sea water in pipe further damages an additional length of pipeline. German government (or any future one with surprise ala Italy) no longer has the option of giving in to economic and social pressures and making up with Russia before this winter. That option is gone. Russia would be monumentally stupid to lose that option. That was a negotiation card! This is what NS going bye bye means.

Someone mentioned elsewhere that this is the response to the referendums that RF just held. This somehow sounds right.

Generally don't like to be pessimistic, but this action (whoever did it does not matter, unless some random terror group) indicates that whoever did it has already determined that there will be war. [The real thing not the far away affair on social media] They know this but they are not going to announce it to us until absolutely necessary. There is no way there can be global peace after powers start destroying infrastructure at this level. There will be a contest of strength (we're past the will part) after which pipelines and satellites will once again be safe.

p.s. in case it is not clear, I've changed my opinion a bit in this reply. "Risks" may not be relevant because it is understood (and this action was basically a turn in the game with an escalation) that there is going to be, has to be, a showdown. There will be war.
The most basic of window operations shouldn't require a hotkey.

Rearranging windows on MacOS and Windows now requires video game precision aiming. It is absurd.

What's more, every app places things in different parts of the title bar, so I have to search for "where to click" based on which app window is up. Absurd.

The move to controls in the title bar is absurd. It used to be Windows had standard chrome, title bar, then menu, toolbar, then content area. Now days it is the wild west what UI elements are where.
> Would some special forces with diving equipment and a fishing boat be enough?

Might not even need divers. Just a fishing boat, a GPS, a limpet mine, and a few hundred feet of rope. Dangle the mine in the water at the right depth as you cross the path of the pipeline and let go when it attaches. Set the timer for weeks or months so you're long gone by the time anyone starts investigating.

(If the pipelines are made of a non-magnetic material like stainless steel maybe you'd need to do something more sophisticated.)

Maybe we'll know more once investigators inspect the damage, but I think practically anyone could have done this based on what we know so far.
Not really. The X-15 is/was a hypersonic research platform, intended to research flight in the (upper) atmosphere. The X-15B, as stated by the OP, was a manned spaceflight program. The X-37 is basically a reusable (unmanned) satellite. They are very different programs. There are perhaps some engineers that worked on both programs because North American eventually became owned by Boeing, but the programs share no design heritage that I can tell.
In English, evidence, conjecture, and pure speculation are very different things. This would qualify, at best, as speculation. :)
Good insight about the long tail of open source projects that don't have the same level of activity or interest from the developer community. I hadn't considered how sharply that drop off is, even for some what still widely used projects simply because the amount of people with the know how, and interest, to look for vulnerabilities is a lot smaller than the available project surface area.
Yeah all the failed projects that thought they could “just add permadeath”.

One of the amazing things about EVE is that although it looks quite bare at first blush there is an interesting space, where terrain matters and a variety of things occupy it. Far more so than most games because there is an entire player run political layer on top of it all.

The only game that’s really felt as close to a second existence to me has been Ultima Online.
"Incorrect" here means the accent not matching the name. For example, it's unlikely that a person named Connor Tumbleson, who according to their resume was educated and has worked in the US all their life, would have a Chinese accent. (Not impossible, of course, but unlikely.)
With Spanish you cover Latin America, Spain a good chunk of the US, 33% of the English language and a big chunk of Lusosphere, Francosphere and Italosphere.
Pipelines can be fixed. If Germany behaves. There's always a choice. Also, there are other ways to get the gas and the oil there.
In my experience EVE online was hours (days?) of boringness for a relatively small amount of extreme fun
i've had experiences with high level experts in personal situations...a friend of mine likes to call them "one-armed crabs". They've worked so hard on making 1 hand incredibly strong (their specialty) - that a lot of other things fall by the wayside.

Those may include hygeine, grooming, diet, social skills, sensitivity to faux pas, extreme ineptitude in unrelated skills to their specialty (these can get to absurd levels) and so on.

So it stands to reason perhaps that their ability to illuminate is next to impossible.

The road to understanding can be complex, filled with head banging on the wall...if you think to yourself what exactly made you go from "i dont get it", to "Eureka" - a lot of times there is no answer. Sometimes the synapses just do their thing. Now - previously mystic concept is intuitive, how do you go about translating that?
My wife has a previous gen RAV4. I have a current gen Corolla Hybrid. The interface is VERY similar. However, she has a physical play/pause button on her RAV4 while my Corolla does not. This is INCREDIBLY frustrating because when you start the car, it MIGHT automatically resume your media. Sometimes this is OK, but other times, it is interrupting a conversation and losing your spot in the podcast you're listening to. A pause button is the perfect solution. However, in the Corolla, you have to wait about 30 seconds before you can tap the touch screen to switch to the audio touch controls, then wait a second or so before you can tap the touch screen pause button.

TLDR: Toyota removed the physical play/pause button and it's really annoying.
Except for elements that change enough between page loads that it can't recognize them as the same content (which happens far too often).

Russia could send a warning message by shutting off the gas. What is the need to blow it up and reduce future choices?
No, they didn’t threaten an attack. This is such a low-effort take on this whole situation. Think a bit.

BTW, data costs also too low.

Just a BB terminal around 30k and a lot of extra data from BB costs extra (can be 200-300k per additional product).

For quant strategy probably looking at 500k up to 2M for data initially. And you will likely be at a disadvantage to existing firms that have been collecting data for years.

And that is at the low end. Spent many millions per year for 1 strategy at last large firm. And that was small fraction of total firm spend.
There are some legal sensitivities here: the company is hiring a vendor to provide a service, and risks co-employment issues if they start managing the vendor's staff in any way, including interviewing them.
And intermittent problems make newbies lose motivation extra quickly and care even less until they eventually rage quit. It's better to just get connections done well right away
There are lots of options, mostly intelligence agencies of various sorts taking matters into their own hands. Maybe a European or American group which doesn't want Europe bought off or a Russia group which wants total victory rather than a peaceful compromise. One could imagine an ecoterrorist group wanting to do this in the confusion of the war but the timing so soon after Russia's mobilization makes it look like the explosions are related so probably not that.
I also dislike how apps are now disabling the classic win32 app icon in the top left corner. If you click on it, you get a menu with window management options and double clicking it closes the window. It’s so burned into my muscle memory as the way to close a window I get frustrated when apps hide it.
As a fallback, you could always use Alt+Space to open the menu, Ctrl+W to close a window and good ole Alt+F4 to close the app
Maybe he made it long in the past for the future opportunity to be in this very thread.
The idea here is that instead of specifying consistency up-front (weak, eventual, strong, etc), sometimes users care more about availability than consistency, so the system lets users say "I want a response in 100ms, gimme the best consistency you have in that time".

There's also a complicated system of a more explicit tradeoff between consistency and availability in the paper, which I think is super interesting because it makes the tradeoff between the two apparent and easily changeable.
You don’t understand? Obama openly sneered at the constitution with DACA and Operation Chokepoint. Biden has student loan debt cancellation, the ATF openly creating registries of gun owners, vaccine mandates, and the government working “with” corporations to censor Americans on the internet.

How is his support of Trump something you don’t understand?

And you brought up foreign policy. Another reason he’d support Trump.
