That's a fair point.

Whether by ignorance, stupidity, or mere indifference I draw little distinction between ethics and legality. This isn't to say that there isn't a different, but rather that I mush both together because of the three points mentioned.

Generally speaking, just because something is legal should not make it right, in the same way that something being illegal, merely by the fact of it being written and codified, does not make it wrong. To put a point on it: I think that some of the actions that Google has taken should have and still should result in prison sentences. As far as I am aware, they have not. That being the case, I certainly would not classify a drug dealer who is not currently in prison being free of wrongdoing.
Have you met any first or second generation Canadians? Yes, people bring their culture and their traditions. And by the time you get 1 or 2 generations down, aside from a few different holidays Canada's school system has done a fairly good job of normalizing the population.

Immigration is a major source of Canadian talent and innovation... A lot of the systemic issues around larger populations aren't related to immigration, as others noted, but to short sighted, "get me elected" policies for our political "leaders".

In China, Living Not ‘With Covid,’ but with ‘Zero Covid’
I’m a staff-level engineer with thousands of LoC on GitHub, and many times that inside my employers’ repos. I know how to program. I wasn’t asking them to teach me what a state machine is or how to write one. Instead, I was trying to narrow down a thousand possibilities to the ones that would meet their requirements. You know, like I’d be doing on the job if they’d hired me.

When the CTO says “we need a thing”, I don’t sit down and start writing. I try to learn what we’ll need so I can build something that satisfies my stakeholders’ needs.

If I were interviewing you, and said “hey userbinator, make a paragraph”, and you did that without asking WTF I was talking about, the rest of the session may not go well.
Many human cultures have existed and thrived without the basis that "producing significantly more power" is the reason to do things.

Our archaeology and history have had trouble grasping this, since the idea that power is its own end is so deeply ingrained in our (western) civilization. But it has not always been the case. David Graeber and David Wengrow's "The Dawn of Everything" illustrates this with evidence.
For large corporations and companies, it is entirely reasonable to have a couple businesses run red ink which are propped up by other businesses running surplus black ink.

For a non-Google example: Costco and their roasted whole chickens they sell for $5 USD each. There is no fucking way Costco makes a profit, let alone break even, on those, but they do it and run the red ink anyway because the customers that come to buy them will also grab other stuff on the way out, generating black ink to offset and surpass the red ink.
They're not stating an opinion. An opinion would be "Politician X sucks". Instead they pretend that Politician X has no right to play the song and they demand it to stop, knowing full well that isn't how their music licensing works. At that point, it's clearly performative.
I would say fuck ad-supported social media. TikTok is no different than Facebook, Twitter, etc besides some China-related fear-mongering (which may be true or not, but the point is, nobody should be stalking people on the internet, regardless of whether the stalker is American or Chinese).

Maybe because it was an article about lox.

Why? The only GNUish bit is the grep -P option, which is unnecessary (-E will do as well).
You're absolutely correct. Had this moment w/ my dad, when I started playing around with early VMware and excitedly told him about it and he was like "Well, yeah we use that all the time at work. It's called VM/370" (current: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z/VM but see list of historical versions)

What I just really dislike is all the fanfare and marketing blah. It seems that we can't have a proper conversation about such things. Performance and bottlenecks are always the same. Something is your current bottleneck. You focus on getting rid of that bottleneck and you discover the next bottleneck. There is always one. People will always take advantage of the bottleneck removed and hit the next one. Can't we just openly talk about the fact that we've removed one and the new bottleneck is of a different 'type' (like you say, disk, network, CPU). Do we always have to pretend like something truly new has been found? Can't we acknowledge what we're really doing there?

Different thing, same vein: The recent posts on here about finite automata (aka state machines). These are the bread and butter of computer science. You learn about those in every computer science 101. And in 101.2 you learn about pushdown automata because finite automata can't do everything you might need (i.e. they can't count). Yet the discussion here and the linked articles and frameworks linked to sound like they're completely novel.
We’re not allowed to have an American identity. Trying to cling to traditions is considered a conservative thing and thus inherently racist. American can only be defined by her failures, and any attempt to point out the successes is considered whitewashing history or something.

There were a number of places that sought to, or outright skipped, the Independence Day celebration this year. It’s now totally normal for some people to find the US flag “problematic” and itself a sign of oppression.
Similar situation in New Zealand. The reasons are pretty similar

1. It benefits big business. It's an absolute god send for labour intensive industries to have a constantly growing pool of employees. Especially if they're from places with a worse standard of living, so they're likely to accept much lower working conditions and pay.

2. It benefits real estate speculation. Housing construction simply cannot keep up in demand, and the richest people in our respective countries have a real estate heavy portfolio. Migrants trickle into city centres, which means big construction projects as high density housing is built, as well as the knock on effective of the native born population migrating to new suburbs that get to be built from the ground up.

3. You get to feel warm and fuzzy inside. Diversity, inclusion, different foods etc etc. If native born people pay higher rents, are served by increasingly overcapacity infrastructure, and have their wages suppressed by increased competition - well they're just immoral and can be brow-beaten into accepting policies that are ultimately in place to benefit the rich.
If the properties are consistent enough, and it's inexpensive to update then it seems not unreasonable at all. They certainly seem to think so.
Is that allowed? Why didn’t California do that with the “board of trustees just include women” law?
The main difference is that Kelly has a multiplicative assumption and the paper has an additive assumption. The Kelly criterion is often computed as a proportion of the initial bankroll, whereas this paper handles non-zero chances of losing a _fixed_, positive amount of money (i.e., a varying proportion of your bankroll, and that proportion increases precisely when you would least want it to -- when you're doing poorly).

I recently came across the concept of Gambler’s Ruin in Taleb’s “Skin in the Game”. It’s… definitely written in Taleb’s style, but I’ve noticed myself relating all sorts of things back to the book recent. Worthwhile, overall.

It takes considerably more to kill someone than to break the skin. Maybe if you are laying on your back and the falling bullet hits the carotid artery, but this is a really contrived example.

I went through it and I’ve seen others think the same. It’s where you think you know the best way to do something so the old software is just plain wrong and “needs to be completely rewritten” but you don’t really have enough context to understand the business cost vs reward of a rewrite.

The moral is moderation.

Too much risk and too little risk are both bad. Take risks, but only risks which you can actually afford.

It's like how both too little and too much dihydrogen monoxide is bad for you.
The advantage is unix systems are virtually always setup correctly - your home drive will be persistent storage on a network share somewhere.

Contrast to windows where your "Documents" folder might be getting backed up via one drive or roaming profile, or it might just be local disk on that machine.

In my experience for a corporate windows environment its best to map a H: drive to a network home drive share and get users to always save in there - if its not mapped it means you are probably on misconfigured host.
The margins on coffee are amazing, but I suspect coffee makes up a smaller % of sales after 8pm so the late night mix might have much thinner margins.

1. why would you add the extra step of using a “v4-mapped v6 address” if you’re just going to end up using regular ones?

3. if you have ipv6 but that google link shows a legacy ip address, your ipv6 connectivity is broken somehow. you’re not behind some sort of weird nat66, are you?

6. that’s getting less true with every passing year, thankfully

That's the same argument for building nuclear -- we've done projects before, just do it more/bigger.

Google didn’t seem to trust it.

The early announcements hardly explained what it was.

There seemed to be little outreach to gamers.

Gaming press folks described constantly having to fiddle with getting access as they normally would expect / consistently.

I don’t doubt people were trying, but it looked like a half hearted effort from the start as far as google goes.

We’re calling this the cloud, but the first iteration of “the cloud” started with storage enabling efficient, reliable access of data storage being decoupled from individual nodes

This is exactly what I dislike about all this "look, shiny, new" kind of thing. No, networked storage that is decoupled from compute nodes is not a cloud thing. Sure the cloud does that too. But data centers all over the globe used EMC^2 Symmetrix for a long time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMC_Symmetrix
> That said, it also has in common with the Warthog that its number is coming up and it is probably soon to be retired permanently because the landscape has evolved out from underneath it.

Do you think so?

Unlike the Warthog, Emacs has also been evolving. Doesn’t LSP close a large part of the gap with IDEs?
Usually a combination of search, time-based ordering (like: "I did this thing a while ago, let me scroll back 1000 items") and some mental landmarking (tracking some stand-outs in a list to know the relative position of other items). Same thing with pictures/photos, you could have them in albums, or even smart albums with tags etc, but people tend to just have a running list of all pictures in chronological order.

Most systems have or used to have tagging functionality as well, but apparently that wasn't used all that much either for information classification and organisation.

Granted, I can't read minds and I don't know what everyone everywhere does, but I do see large scale changes in employee instructions for new hires, university hires and even in cross-org/education projects. For most young/new people, their phone was their first 'computer' and the 'default' environment, and a desktop is the anomaly. People looking up how to do things on ticktock is not a funny meme, it's reality and seriously tainting the knowledge of junior hires on the lower end jobs (like entry level service desk backoffice). Knowing where to find authoritative information, how to verify it, and how to use that as a reference to validate and find other information seems to be a foreign concept to some as well. Even something like a somewhat specific google search or wikipedia article and the references it can supply are not as normal as one might think, and the gap is getting bigger, not smaller.
Your IDE can be doing type checks on whatever file(s) you're working on, you can use esbuild or swc to compile to javascript to make sure it runs correctly, and you can periodically use tsc to fully compile and typecheck your entire codebase to catch anything that you somehow missed in the IDE.
Not sure if it would work for you, but a friend of mine who was noticing something similar has joked on numerous occasions that what ended up working for him to get out of that funk was going on long walks and talking to himself, literally. Framing problems out in his head and then talking out solutions or different approaches or whatever out loud. The joke being that he regained his sanity by looking like a crazy person, but if it works...

The Way It’s Done
The problem wasn't trust at all.

Nobody in the gaming industry trusts anyone.

Customers don't trust developers, see "never pre-order anything."

Developers don't trust publishers, "executive meddling via focus groups."

Publishers don't trust each other. The difference is publishers have lawyers so they write legal contracts to fix that.

They are OK cars, but musk is a bullshitter and overhypes a lot, and the cracks in the facade are starting to show as other manufactures release EVs.
A "1.0" release after more than 20 years... is remarkable.
Current liberal government is running a very wild experiment here with regards to immigration. For context, when I graduated from a Canadian university back in 2014, there was a very straightforward immigration system. The students graduating from a Canadian university would get the permanent residence within about 2yrs, inna Fast track manner. Provinces used to have their own cap and “eligibility criteria” for labor pools correlated with job categories with highest demands.

Then Canada decided to run some kind of a wild federally run “point based” immigration system starting 2015. Under that scheme, criterias such as education, job experience get you some assigned points. For example someone with a masters degree would get 20 points and someone with 10yr job experience would get 25points etc. You would qualify if your points are above some threshold and Federal government runs some kind of lotteries every few weeks to pick candidates in the qualified pool inviting them to apply.

Except the problem is now, there are too many frauds in the system. In many countries, accreditation and job experiences can be easily bought. And now that international students graduating from Canada fall under the same pool, they have to compete with these same people sometimes holding masters degrees with job experiences that are “bought”. Result is many international students are putting up with extreme delays and most wealthier populace from third world countries buying their way out the PR with fake “points”. Add to that super visa, which gives parents and grandparents of anyone in Canada with permanent residence 10yrs visa. And finally add to that the “visitors” to Canada who end up claiming asylum, many of them crossing the border from US. In this year alone that number has surpassed 35k. Just talk to any immigration attorney and the reality on the ground is abysmal, many are taking wild advantage of lenient refugee program.

Result is an extremely backlogged immigration system, rising costs of housing, slow wage growth at entry levels.

Now back to The current liberal government and media Who have basically made it equivalent to racism to even talk about this issue. Very recently, a provincial immigration minister was vilified for bringing this issue to light saying “more immigrants beyond a certain cap would be a suicide”. Which is indeed true as the strained healthcare system already shows.

Immigrants tend to come to Canada for its tolerant populace and free healthcare (at least when compared to US). But lately this is coming to a questionable reality as healthcare quality and wait times have gotten so bad many people are seeking private healthcare if they can afford. Coupled with a cost of living nightmare in most big cities such as Toronto and Vancouver, it is not a positive outlook and it can seriously turn the populace anti immigration and make this a seriously political issue as in US.

Chiming in on a throwaway account to confirm that this behavior toward men who've shown vulnerability is 100% not limited to current or potential romantic partners and may be displayed by supposed friends and family. People you've known for years, maybe for nearly your whole life, can turn and treat you as worthless human trash for having shown yourself to be "less of a man". Maybe they cut you off as a friend. Maybe they fail to call 911 when you need medical attention, neglect you after major surgery, and then gaslight you about it while still making sure to remind you how worthless you are. And people wonder how toxic masculinity perpetuates.
I feel like some of these perspectives are very tech industry focused rather than gamer focused.

As a gamer, I think Stadia failed because the system they created doesn't make sense. You had to buy games at real $40-$60 prices but you could only play them through this limited service. I don't think anyone wants that.

Compare that to paying the same price for a regular PC game which you can play via streaming using a streaming service, but also play locally, and know that you can take that game with you through multiple hardware decides and streaming services.

With Stadia, if I move somewhere with bad internet, there is no way to recover the value of my games I purchased. There is no other gaming system like that. All other systems either have an offline possibility or are pure streaming where you aren't making a game purchase investment, like Xbox Gamepass or Luna.

It just doesn't make sense except to a really small niche and is not competitive to the average gamer.
Blah,blah,blah, Space X has been the only company that's been able to advance space technology as a private company in the last 20 yrs. All other companies have just rehashed what was previously developed.

NASA and the US government will be foolish to let it disappear via bankruptcy. If the company gets in real trouble, we will suddenly see that NASA will award it a long-term contract for its services that will get it out of trouble. Right now Space X is the best space option that the government has available. As long as it can deliver, Space X will continue to exist.

There's no way Space X will disappear due to bankruptcy any time soon.

Sad. Following supply and demand economics, if there is a low supply of workers and a high demand for them, then workers must be paid more. In reality, wages stagnate, culture erodes, and systems strain because those in power artificially raise the supply of workers via immigration. Unions struggle due to the social frictions of working in a multi-cultural melting pot. Countries losing folks due to immigration are being brain drained. If you try to fight against this, you're called "racist" i.e. social engineering is weaponized to manipulate you and those around you into submission. Your kindness is used against you. Capitalism at its finest /s.
I mean that's part of it, but Google really worked to kill it too. Like they spun up a whole game studio, hired people to work on games for two years, then cancelled the whole studio. That's not just negligence or trust issues, they took years of work from developers working on games for the platform and threw it in the trash.
A peaceful, by and large harmonious society where everyone is basically on the same page? Sure, certain industrial sectors are begging for more manpower and social security is on a ticking time bomb, but those are all arguably minor on the grander scale.
