What is the technical reason why streaming is much better than having your own hardware? So far I don't really see it for most people.

I could imagine it's better for business because you can gate-keep access to your game and nobody can copy it.

It's easier and faster to develop because you just have to optimize it for a few datacenters with a limited scope of hardware. (But is hardware support even a big problem today?)

For the user they don't have to care for anything. Just click "START" in the browser and you're good to go. Optionally transfer some money for a day pass for premium games. (But is it that easy?)

So I think it's supposed to make sense from a business and UX perspective but technically it still falls short. Whoever has enough internet also has enough hardware. Both get cheaper. Whoever develops a game with a big budget could also develop a custom streaming solution.

When an explosion like this occurred it was not uncommon for over pressurisation in the boiler to be a factor. Safety values were used to vent steam when it reached a nominated value but they were easy to tamper with and also prone to external factors such as scale.

Even as a fan of modern art Andy Warhol has always left me cold. Nothing he did seemed original or said anything.

There aren't a lot of fully private academic education institutions in Europe, compared to the US.

But I wonder if they could do that sort of thing based of their existing limitations for academic freedom. If an institution funded by Volkswagen wants the professors to work on car related stuff to advance technological goals, couldn't they also require them to work towards social or political goals?

The thing about people with experience, we love to tell you about the past. The cycles are all the same, technology A is created, it has some level of success, then something else (B) is adopted. A new generation of developers have only experienced B and due to its shortcomings reinvent A as C. And the cycle repeats over and over.

At some point, we've got to accept that Elon Musk is either lying, or delusionally optimistic when he talks about his future products.

Whether he's talking about fully self-driving cars, mars expeditions, The Boring Company, Neuralink, Teslas cargo trucks, or now this robot, his promises have been wildly unrealistic.

Whether it's lying or optimism, we should just stop paying attention to what he claims his companies can do, and instead take seriously what they actually do.

"Antiracists" is literally, as explained in the article, are a political group that prescribes racial discrimination against white people. They're a very ironically named group of people considering. If your research is not specifically engineered to justify racial discrimination against a group of people you may be subject to a number of administrative consequences.

Regarding your experiences in the American South, all I can say is two wrongs don't make a right. This is hardly about including more voices, this is about opposing a policy that prescibes the acceptable Overton window of research, it's clearly about limiting the acceptable range of discourse.

We are literally maybe a quarter of a century towards whites becoming a plurality, and not much longer after that until they become an actual minority. You can't just think about the past, think about the future, making publishing scientific racism an ideological goal because a group is politically powerful NOW when they won't be in the future is bound to have unintended consequences.

This is not a "border skirmish" with some AKs being fired.

The amount of equipment and manpower Russia has directed to Ukraine is larger than most of the world's militaries, except US and China.

Their losses of main battle tanks as of today correspond to 1/3 of the total number of US tanks, and more than the total number of tanks in western Europe.

Russia's casualties are now larger than the total US casualties during the Vietnam war.

The 800000 artillery shells in aid, correspond to 5000-10000 truckloads being delivered from neighbouring Nato countries.

Civilian Ukrainian casualties are in the tens of thousands, and counting.

Other way around in locomotives. The fire goes through the tubes, the water surrounds them. The large number of tubes gives a really large surface area over which the fire's heat can be transferred to the water - it's a form of heat exchanger. The last energy of the exhaust steam from the cylinders is sent up the exhaust to create a forced draught that drags the fire through the tubes.

Later industrial and marine boilers turned this inside out and sent the water through tubes in the fire like you describe. This can be more efficient (because it's easier to hold high pressure in water tubes than a loco boiler) but only a few locos tried it and it didn't deliver much benefit there - seems to have been hard to make work well in loco format.

I guess I can't really agree it's a cultural/regional thing as the ideas you describe I see in _every regional team I have in my company_.

- Some people come in with full bravado, "I was the best at my last job so I'm the best here", "I can never be wrong attitudes"

- Some people are afraid to look stupid or think they'll get looked down upon or even fired for asking dumb questions

- Others just want to focus exclusively on the one task they're dedicated to and not a single bit more and will flee from anything outside of their area of knowledge and forever are locked into "I do X and nothing else"

- Finally, there are those that realized none of the above is a requirement, and it's fine to ask questions and even better, to be curious

The final group are my most successful engineers/devs because they are insatiably curious. They ask questions in a good way, explain their understanding of a situation first and how they arrive at conclusions, and then want to understand how you got to yours and if they maybe have missed a better way. My US teams, Latin American teams, Eastern European teams, Asian teams, they all have their persons who just get above the usual tropes of work and just want to learn and make cool things, but this is a rare individual person regardless of their cultural background.

I've even seen some who started with such attitudes of bravado and arrogance and once they realized "well damn, I'm not the brightest star in the sky by a long shot", they humble up pretty fast and realize they have an opportunity to get even better and they go for it. It happens plenty, though not as much as I would prefer.

I don't think it's about culture, I think it's just individual personalities which transcend borders.
As others pointed that you could scrap a m1 mac mini (I own one), also is really another powerful processor and yet power efficient than the m1 readly available and with linux support? I find hard to believe, also it seems that mX family will be popular enough to have out of the box linux support, IIRC all the asahi work will be upstreamed, while I bought a raspberry and the linux support is awful, considering all the years raspberry was already available, most distros does not support it and you rely on a lot of hacks to make them run (I do prefer arch linux over all other distros), also the raspberry is not suitable for my use case, I wanted a workstation with low power consumption and there is none besides m1, maybe in the last 2 years a new one came out that I’m not aware of.

Found the pictures thanks to the link elsethread.

To me, the Warhol images are substantially different - the only common element is Prince's features, and presumably that likeness belongs to Prince, not the photographer.

Consider that the photographer isn't the owner of the likeness, and that everything besides the likeness is different, I'd call the Warhol image a substantially different work from the photographer's image.

If the ruling comes down on the side of the photographer there's definitely a chilling effect on the creation of new art.

Other than the likeness (which belongs to Prince), there are no similarities between the images.
This is not about obligation to fix bug reports. It is about respectful communication, which is pretty orthogonal.

It goes a little bit beyond this. You're supposed to do research with an open mind and allow your conclusions to reveal themselves through the course of study. Swearing that your research advances the goals of anti-racism and equity means that your research can only have pre-formed conclusions.

It completely taints your research and any results you might come to.
I read through the thread (which was a grind, I don't recommend it - there were many good arguments made, and many cases of RMS telling people that they were pressuring him, insulting him, or did not understand the point of free software) and I was sorely disappointed that no one just bought up constexpr.

constexpr is to a first approximation a C++ equivalent to rust's macros. Being C++ it is exciting, and basically requires a correct C++ compiler to include a correct C++ interpreter.

So conceivably, if I wanted to sabotage a locomotive, all I’d need to do is turn the safety valve beyond the rated pressure of the boiler, and then wait for an over pressure event and then boom? Wouldn’t you design the safety valve such that it can’t go beyond the rated pressure of the boiler?
It actually isn't. The dominant frequency of solar irradiation is dependent on choice of spectral variables and could just as well be said to be in the infrared, when plotted as a function of frequency. So with the same argument, plants would be better off reflecting that. Especially when you consider that absorption happens as transitions between energy levels (i.e. frequencies) in molecules. However, in truth it simply doesn't make sense to talk about point frequencies in a density distribution.

Same here... I read comments all the time in browser threads about these issues in Firefox and I must be lucky or my basic install with just uBO is the difference (I also don't use any Google websites outside of search and Youtube). I have been daily FF user on both desktop and laptop for 4+ hours a day since I left Opera when it changed to a Chromium base and I can probably count on one hand the issues I've had with FF working with sites properly. One was a repeatable memory leak that would crash FF like 4 years ago that I submitted as a bug report and it was fixed in next release.

To me FF is just as fast in general browsing than anything else. I routinely try other browsers and I just feel "wrong" using any of the Chromium based others of Edge/Brave/Vivaldi when FF needs us right now. It needs the us to stand against non-open source web browsers and as an alternative engine to the web. I really like Vivaldi and would be my 2nd choice (then Edge then Brave, refuse to use Chrome) but it isn't open-source nor does it do anything to protect privacy.

If FF is giving crashes, issues at sites etc please try at least refreshing your install in the options and don't install so many extensions. Even better backup your bookmarks and uninstall it while making sure to also delete all users\$username\Appdata folders as well then reinstall.
You're not wrong but you're simply describing Apple's business model. Take technology that has matured and do it well.

If you ask me, Apple's main innovation with the iPhone was making the UI usable with just a finger instead of a stylus.
Yes, but the point is the Pi is hiding an infinite series, just like the what you'd see for an ellipse length.
The more interesting point for me is to phrase it as: why can't we write the lenght of an ellipse as some function of pi, since you're able to do that for most trig functions.
I think, laying blame to a demographic and then considering the cased closed is a dumb kind of logic anyway.

Even if they were just lazy and unmotivated, if an entire demographic suddenly becomes lazy and unmotivated, that's a problem for society to solve and not some individual character flaw.

The innovation and genuine new thing on the iPhone and the entire key to its success was the screen.

But you’re just seeing the screen 1 dimensionally yes capacitive screens existed but when I say the “iPhone screen” is why it was a success I mean the technology (capacitive) + the interaction design (momentum scroll and pinch to zoom) + heavy optimization (jerky scrolling was unacceptable, every interaction had to move exactly with the finger, even browser redrawing was decoupled from the scroll to enable this).

All these parts together in unison and to a high level of polish is what made that product magical and a success.

On the other hand the LG Prada devs and designers just had jerky scrolling and no one on the team said “this isn’t good enough”
Author of Telefunc here. I'm glad folks are finally taking RPC seriously.

RPC is back. Smarter, leaner, and stronger. (Sorry for the marketing jargon, but I really do believe that.)

Telefunc is still fairly young, you can expect a lot of polishing in the coming weeks/months. The high-level design is solid and I expect no breaking change on that end.

If you encounter any bug (or DX paper cut), please create a GitHub Issue and I'll fix it. I'm also the author of https://vite-plugin-ssr.com which also has no known bug, so I do take that claim seriously.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Then I'm sure you wouldn't mind running this cryptominer in your browser for me. It's safe.
There is not reason why your couldn't expose an endpoint that lets you marked completed a filtered query. You can implement arbitrary DSLs over REST / GraphQL.

Philosofically, there is no difference though each have their own connotations.

You expect RPCs to be much more integrated in a language and an API to run over standard transport protocols using standard data formats. However, this is isomorph.
I'm glad they're working on robotics but as someone that worked on a starup that set a price tag really early with mass production and RaaS (Robot as a Service concept), in mind, I'm really, really worried.

Because the price tag we worked on was also around 20k$, and that price tag essentially killed the project from the design level. (durability and sensor quality / automation capacity tradeoff just was fiction)

I hope Musk are more understanding when the engineers finally come and tell them those projections are over optimistic, and can bite the bitter pill, for the project. Ours wasn't, and the entire mechanical team quit, and so did the automation team.
We have a museum here in Mulhouse France where they cut open a locomotive and added LEDs in blue and red to show the different tubes and exchange of heat. Quiet interesting and helped me to understand how it works. Here an image of it:

Some famines are caused by misguided collectivization / socialism enforced by the state, such as Holodomor and this one:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine

Others were caused by misguided protections of landlords / private property / capitalism enforced by the state, such as the Irish Potato Famine:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)

Still others by State Capitalism / imperialism of some kind, such as the famines under the British Raj and East India company — the one in Bengal was more recent than Holodomor even:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943

If you’re going to teach things, you need to find patterns and try to discern the root causes. Otherwise you’re just imparting biased propaganda to students.

How many people here knew about all these famines, not just Holodomor?
All? Looks like only apple devices
Yes, it pretty much started when they decided not to "confuse" consumers the first time with USB 2.0. Claiming said fear they made all the USB 1.1 Devices USB 2 just with a different speed name. That way you could have USB 2.0 Mice and Keyboards.

So you had USB-Low Speed for keyboards and mice and USB Full Speed for Full Speed and Hi Speed for High Speed (later Super speed for speed that was just super).

Not confusing at all and it resulted in a time when you had to actually be darn careful not to get a USB 2.0 "full speed USB Hub" or other device. Later the same thing happened with regards to USB 3 a few years later.

Manufacturers making these (for a time until the relevant usb3 parts become too cheap to bother with these near fakes) always pop up.

At this point it will be a long painful process to replace all the hardware that doesn't follow the new scheme and USB version numbers could have been the much simpler solution.

One thing missing from their specs is the glut of "Power only" cables on the market. By failing to giving recommendation there Chinese manufacturers will all just do whatever - Probably abusing the High-Speed based labeling and that will pollute those and again cause confusion.

How hard is it to give them a symbol to print on their shitty power cables so people don't have to buy a cable tester?
Maybe a partial solution will be to use qwick approach, load js on demand when needed, instead of all at once, while ideally will be use strictly the necessary js (that in some cases could be none).
It's a fascinating set of photos, but it's plagiarized spam. Much of the text is lifted, unattributed, from the Wikipedia entry for "boiler explosion" [0].
