> What I'll tell you is that I used to be a huge fan of gamefaqs and I still visit it from time to time, but after gamespot bought them I started using them less and less

Same thing here. I wonder if it's just a change in my gameplay habits and getting older. Also modern games are for the most part very hand-holdy. And I usually have used Youtube to find clips to help me through difficult sections of games.

I think Gamefaqs is a relic of its time and today doesn't have a lot of relevance for a large portion of today's popular games.

There's exceptions of course (Elden Ring comes to mind) but these are few and far between.

I remember using gamefaqs to help me through the water section of Zelda: OOT. Today I'd probably watch a play through on Youtube and be constantly scrubbing the video to learn where to go next. Second best would be a community-moderated wiki walkthrough.
In my own experience, therapy works (and I’m not an easy case either). It’s more like not all therapists work, and the depth of your issues may be too big to even comprehend in a couple of years. I can’t tell for my hardest issues, but relatively small ones like a bunch of situational anxieties I successfully fixed. (The great finding was that once I eliminated the first algorithm, I realized that they are not situational, but remarkably generic. Lots of thoughts like “hmm, this is the same pattern, let’s give zero fucks and get new experience in return”.)

It’s still a well full of mud nonetheless, but hey I’ve been filling it for 35 years. I score around 6/7 on the above definition, also failed a socialization test.

I hit the wall a few times too. Questions not responding, nothing in my head to answer them. This wall is hard, hard on a level of debugging a binary without any debug info. I decided to relax a little and just accept and explore “theories” of my therapist and my own (e.g. just make an extreme statement about me and accept and therapy it, as if it was true). Also, some ideas don’t work because you may be trapped between an objective situation and your core character. While unsolvable, it e.g. gave me ~1.5x raise and benefits as a result. Nice. Also, when in a complete dead end, I just went on a session anyway and “started a new thread”. Most of them merged eventually in surprising ways and gave more clarity on previous ones.

I wish you to find what works for you eventually, if you are willing to continue.
What's new in Svelte: October 2022
Frankly it's more dangerous now than it's been at any time since the 80s. Russian forces are so weak that basically any confrontation with Western powers is going to be nuclear from the very start. The fact Western powers haven't said that a tactical nuclear strike inside Ukraine will be responded to in kind is basically permission on a silver platter for Putin to do so.
Here come the new Red Hat Enterprise Linux distros
It seems like they could come up with an agreement that would unlock that value, no?
I kind of think this is just a generic "bad coding practices" blog post that the author is pretending to fit into a "true story".
You don't need javascript to replace marquee tags. There are a plethora of implementations using CSS animation.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply. You didn't actually answer my request for evidence, though.

I think is the study we've been discussing: https://seclab.bu.edu/people/gianluca/papers/deplatforming-w...

This is my understanding of their analysis, based on a fairly shallow read:

> Are accounts being created on an alternative platform after being suspended?

A: Yes, 59% of Twitter users and 76% of Reddit users moved to Gab.

> Do suspended users become more toxic if they move to another platform?

A: Reddit users became more toxic on Gab. 60% of Twitter users became less toxic and 20% became much more toxic, although the most toxic posts
contained hatred against Twitter and complaints that their free speech and rights had been denied. (Toxicity was determined using Google's Perspective API.)

> Do suspended users become more active if they move to another platform?

A: Yes. A manual inspection determines that at least some of that increased activity is complaints about being suspended.

> Do suspended users gain more followers on the other platform?

A: Although users tend to become more toxic and more active after they move to the alternative platform, their audience decreases.

I think you could read this either way. Deplatforming is ineffective because it "radicalizes" those have been deplatformed. Or; deplatforming is effective because it reduces the spread of toxicity. Your post above is mainly focusing on the former; my post focused mainly on the latter.

The jury's still out, as you said. Personally, I'll continue to lean in favor of moderation, if only for the selfish reason that unmoderated communities are nasty places, and I want to participate in communities that "bring me joy," to indulge in a Kondo-ism. I think we've shown pretty conclusively, though, that your argument "The point is, countering negative ideas with suppression does not work" is premature at best.

I'll let you have the last word. Best wishes.
Your imaginary friends are helping you. Just like AlphaZero training by playing chess against itself. . .
My friends tell me that I have to learn.
The trouble is that all of them are really good dancers, so I stand out as a sore thumb.

Their advice is vague:-

"Don't think about it. Just do it"

"Don't be soo digital, be a bit analogue"

"I encourage you to think more like SOFT COMPUTING, not instructions for a CPU"
Well there is no strong implication, are you suggesting that the inclusion of Smallpox is entirely non-sequitur?
Hasn't there always been a risk of radon appearing in basements and groundwater?

Regardless, it's clear that radiation was not enough of an evolutionary "problem" for our bodies to evolve to cope with it, beyond whatever we get from the sun. But that's just the thing! We are so used to our bodies mostly doing the right thing in response to various dangers: bitter is poison, cold is frostbite/hypothermia, burning pain is fire/burns, nausea/disgust is disease, thirst is dehydration, etc.

Ionizing radiation is weird because it literally destroys our tissues, but does so indirectly by destroying our DNA (as far as I understand anyway), but we never had any evolutionary reason to be able to "feel" our DNA being destroyed, so we evolved neither the ability to detect it happening nor the ability to see or detect radiation in the environment.

I suspect that many industrial chemicals and poisons in a similar category, e.g. many poisons are either neutral or sweet-smelling/tasting. But radiation is especially weird and scary because it's such an unfamiliar phenomenon to begin with, unlike poison which most humans seems to understand instinctively.
I might not be able to discern between the 1000 and 1001 but there’s no reason I can’t discern between 1001 and 100001. Things can be fuzzy nearby while still being coherent overall.
Vertical integration works really well to control quality of your platform if you have the resources to make it happen. You _could_ make the argument that System76 is too small of a company to financially make this work, but the payoff is a better product.
Calling it an "energy war" rather than "Russia's invasion of Ukraine" is disingenuous at best, and combined with other articles by the same writer, it's clear that nothing of value is to be found here.
So this will save me time in getting dressed in the morning.
I want to be able to (among other things) order cabs and deposit checks using my smartphone, though. (Well, maybe not that last one, seeing as checks don’t exist here in the Netherlands anymore.)

Going back a decade in terms of functionality is hardly an answer.
I started using Lyft because every time I book an Uber it would end up taking 3x as long to get picked up vs the estimate shown, typically 15+ minutes. Additionally, it was always "completing a trip nearby". Lyft would offer to let me pay a few bucks extra to get a ride in 3 minutes, for the same price or lower.
google search term for historical precedent: "witch hunt"
Pre-Google, it was pretty common to have to dig several pages into the results from early search engines to find what you were looking for. Seems like we’re just returning to the bad old days.
I usually ask the same (and whether they prefer tip in cash etc); I have not seen a single person say they would rather drive for uber. It's been nearly 100% toward lyft preference. I ride daily.
I mostly played free games on Stadia. The rest was paid for with Google Play credits I had built up, so I really only paid for the controller.
> That's how society works. People have adjusted their self to fit in, they expect the same from everybody else.

This makes it seem like a personal failing of the person who is experiencing this disconnect, like the author. Neuroscience shows that this is not the case, and that those with schizoid personality disorders have true physiological and neurological differences.

I hope that you didn't intend to make this into some sort of judgment on the person for failing to "adjust themselves to fit in," because that is a huge part of the judgment that this author is feeling and trying to describe.
Besides "Americas army" there really arent any video games with an intention of bringing you to the profession. It's really just about having fun. I do recall a US general talking about how this doesn't work and the overweight/obesity epidemic amongst gamers is a huge impediment to enrollment. Video games aside.

Really the question, why so few farmers?

Government education has specifically trained and discouraged people from becoming farmers, intentionally reducing the number of farmers.

Biosciences has made farming quite unprofitable. The use of fertilizers, gmos, pesticides, etc have made a small time farmer basically unprofitable compared to the farmer with 80,000 acres and large machines.

There are better professions to earn a living. Hell, the cost of startup is ridiculous. ~86 acres near where i live is $5 million.

You also cant really live near cities. There's no rockstars coming to rural canada. You have to live in toronto to get those rockstars. Good internet is also not in rural areas.

But then you also have governments actively taxing farmers to tremendous degree. For example, Carbon taxes disproportionately impact a farmer's old diesel in his massive tractor compared to a econobox tiny car. Farmers obviously don't care. A wide carbon tax like that ends up in the consumer's hands as food inflation.

https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/food-inflation

Basically nobody has normal/low food inflation because of this.

Then you have the 'fertilizer reductions'... https://wheatgrowers.ca/advocacy-resources/fertilizer-reduct...

IF you work in an industry where the government is actively screwing you over so much. You choose a new profession right away. Hence no farmers.
> I thought the runtime was in the browser.

It can be both! Like JavaScript, WebAssembly started in the browser but is now moving to the server-side, too. With JavaScript, the most common serverside runtime is Node.js. With WebAssembly, it's Wasmtime. There are alternatives (like Deno or Bun for serverside JavaScript), but Wasmtime is the main one at the moment.
Taiwan? Looking at the board, seeing what's happening in the west, I would keep an eye on the level of loss the Russians are willing to endure before probable tactical nuke usage. Just before that point, I would look to China's northern border to see if they are about to roll north to undo the unequal Treaty of Aigun.
So they have far fewer people who can do any particular job so if they can manage, larger countries should find it much easier.

That's your point right?
I will keep the beer trick in mind as a quick hideout :)
Do the Russians control the valves for both? I read somewhere from an engineer that it could have been a maintenance mistake.
Excellent resource on virtual thread by one of the authors!
Thanks.

I have to see I’m pleased to see Java moving fast those days.

I’m still digesting 17 and 18, but that give me a reason to look at 19.

I honestly project loom was far from reaching that level of “standardness” … so I haven’t looked into it in years
I agree, but this is Gonzalez v. Google, which has nothing to do with the Texas law.
Right? I don't see how this relates to "3d technology" of any kind.

I wish we could replace Docker for dev environments with asdf which examines your project and makes available language tooling for Ruby, Node etc and other tools with pinned versions. With this we could cd to our project and have a Postgres server ready for this project.
So funny how you can immediately see who's bothered to read the post by the questions they ask which have been answered in the post, in this case not only in text but with a gif as well :D.
This is misleading.

Apple limits third party tracking without user's consent by both calling it as third party tracking and having it opt in, while Apple's tracking is "personalization" that is opt out.

It's absolutely a dark pattern meant to destroy non apple advertising while making the owners of the OS the only real way to advertise on it. It should be clamped down hard.
We should take those people and make them dig holes in the ground, and then fill them up again. Plenty of work, great for the economy.
Every serious project I engage on has its own:

* domain (obviously)

* emails

also for every provider I have a different email like (google@domain, twilio@domain, etc...)

* credit cards (my bank makes it super easy to just create new ones)

* phone no. (I just buy a burner phone)

It's a bit of a PITA but the benefits outweigh the cons. I have a clear understanding of how much each of them costs me, for instance. Plus, the ban hammer will not be able to destroy all my income in one blow.
The point is to ask why OOP is a hundred times more popular if, according to FP advocates, it's so much worse as a paradigm.
Well, there is another option: Apple could actually respect your privacy, support end-to-end encryption, and not scan your content at all.
On mobile Firefox, after a few seconds the whole page turns white, making this unreadable. Nothing scrollable, no [x], just a blank page.
Rewriting the Modern Web in Rust
One cost is that is directly funded the regime that is now invading a neighboring country, causing more burden on the current military budget as the populace demands support for them, and shoring up local defense budgets as it puts support to the fear that it may be needed at some point in the not-too-distant future.

You can't really say what would have happened, but if nobody purchased that cheap gas, I think it's safe to say the Russia of today would look very different, with that being a rather large part of the country's total exports.
What a negative post. Each of these things that the author complains about is a learning opportunity or an opportunity for the company to improve their onboarding.

Single letter variable names? Maybe you need a style guide.

Massive CRs? You need code review standards.

Not testing code? Coverage requirements.

and so on. If the author chose to mentor the new hire rather than berate them on a blog post, they could probably change all these behaviors in a week.
Playing Hanafuda on Palm OS in a web browser
I have yet to own a smart phone. Thus far lacking a smart phone has not really impacted me beyond trying to call an unknown number 411 no longer looks up business by category as so many people have smart phones, or at least that has been my experience. I would like to get one but Fairphone is not available in the US and I can not find a US equivalent to it. I should probably get something soon as Verizon is about to kill off the network my old pre-paid flip phone uses. Even if I do find a phone that meets my requirements supporting unrestricted linux/root by default, removable battery, etc... I will use it for voice, texting and maybe a web browser to look up business numbers. I will never install SPA's or take pictures with the phone unless I have full control of the OS and firmware, especially the baseband modem and GPS.

This is just my opinion but I do not believe I could be jailed into a phone. I spent more than half my life on call and find myself being allergic to phones and pagers now. Even my little flip-phone sleeps in a different room than me.
Here's a small sampling (first page of google for "vaccine will end pandemic 2020". It's easy to find a lot).

Very reasonable news sources (bloomberg, official UN news, the atlantic, etc)

"Covid won’t be a pandemic for “a lot longer” thanks to rapid progress in vaccine development, according to Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious disease official."
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-11-12/covid-won...

"The End of the Pandemic Is Now in Sight
A year of scientific uncertainty is over. Two vaccines look like they will work, and more should follow."

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/11/vaccines-...

"“This is a time for taking comfort that the end of the pandemic is in sight, but taking care that we do not let down our guard. "

https://news.un.org/en/story/2020/12/1080422

https://www.ucihealth.org/blog/2020/12/covid-vaccines-can-en...

etc

Now, keep in mind, like I said, I understand that a lot of this is
1. Sensationalization of what various scientists said (though there are plenty of stupid quotes that they should not have said)
2. Things that change over time

It's also the case that buried deep towards the end of most of them are the typical "there are still unanswered questions" style silliness to make the headlines/etc more defensible when they get called out on it later (IE "well we did say there was uncertainty in two words of one sentence at the end of the article!"). Of course, they also put those in a place in the article that they literally know will not be reached by ~90% of readers.

So I think it's fair to say that when it gets presented to tons of people as it has in these headlines/stories, and then a year later, the same places are just giving you a completely different narrative now based on reduction of severity rather than transmission of disease, that definitely makes people trust the narrative, the outlets, and the scientists less.

In that, i mostly blame the outlets/media, not the people or the scientists. They know exactly what they are doing. They know exactly what parts of their stories people look at, what they want, etc.

To me, the way they operate is as bad for society as facebook/etc, but much more dangerous in practice because they are much more effective at playing both sides - big tech will be regulated, but the media?.

Where we are on even considering having media have any form of responsibility or accountability?

They are very effective at shifting between arguments. How many industries can you name that have been successful simultaneously arguing things like "the first amendment means we should not have any responsibility or accountability at all on what or how we publish and what it says" and "everyone else should be forced to pay us for what we do decide to publish".

You can produce whatever you want with reckless abandon, and everyone else should have to buy it from you. Nice racket if you can swing it.
What is worrying is that there is no true alternative. Full-privacy might be a very lucrative business opportunity.

I still re-read the Doom FAQ every decade or so. https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Official_Doom_FAQ/Original_text
I think that's a good step but it's still a very brittle ecosystem IMO. Needs time to mature.
So sayeth we graybeards. But in all seriousness, this is so spot on. After all, the only bug-free code is that which is not written
Uber also has Uber Health.
Make a mental model of which people can understand which things. Understand what topics they are even interested in. Understand how disinterested person reacts and know when to stop, and understand how an interested person react and know when you can share. Ask people if they are interested in what you're saying. Check their attention. Check their understanding. Understand which people simply don't have the mental capacity to understand difficult topics and just avoid discussing it with them. Understand which people are judging topics emotionally and avoid trying to reason with them logically because it's pointless. Don't try to drop everything all at once, understanding is gradual. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

You might have great mental models of the "world" but lack in mental models of other people. Some rational people have really undeveloped emotional reasoning, because they don't use it for themselves, but still use their own emotional reasoning for understanding other people. You can rationally understand other people even if they are irrational themselves.
It's:

Non Apple ads: Opt In for scary third party tracking

Apple Ads: Opt Out for a "less personalized" experience
This sounds like a line from a self-help book from the 1930s - 1950s.
Why would you think that? The law (230) has no requirement that moderation be non-partisan. Or are you making an argument about what the law should be?
If the newbie was ill-fitted for the seniority level, its a recruitment screwup. If he's just someone with little experience, then the author is just being a dick.

I've experienced the opposite in NYC where Lyft often never even finds me a car and Uber is usually nearly-instant. But on the West Coast (recent trips to SF and Seattle) the two seem comparable.
> economically hard to justify switching tasks.

I vaguely remember some factories would not let workers change jobs once they got good at them, to their detriment (with carpal tunnel and other RSIs)
They're about as profitable as Lyft.
