I judge people on whether they prefered Sensi or KO2.

I am judging you.

Kick Off 2, at least on the Amiga was sooo much better. With Sensi, if you run down the pitch, slightly off centre, strike with after touch to the other side, you would more often than not score. With KO2 you had players with genuinely have different abilities, some could score from certain positions, others couldn't.

With some teams a 'long ball' approach worked, others you needed to play to nippy wingers, or maybe even a full back who could charge down the line.

Every player was much of a muchness in sensi, so you really only had to come up with one 'system' to play

I apologize for being snarky. "WTF" is an expression of surprise though, much more than it is criticism. My point was that these object models achieve a desired level of user-friendliness and safety at the cost of being less orthogonal and less composable (as compared to, say, C) and having weird corner cases and surprises that catch you off-guard.
>nasty hangover

Drink water, and more water along with the alcohol.
Quoting a researcher: "If you knew what you were doing, it would not be research." (Daniel Lemire, while talking about research grant proposals.)

> 1. I can articulate precisely what problem I am trying to solve.

You can read this in multiple ways, but I'm reading it as: "I'm not participating in the process of figuring out which problems we can solve. I will only ask for clarification of your intent, never try something on my own."
If you never did a mistake connected to this and caused a bug in real prod code, you haven’t been writing go for long enough.
VMWare has actually a decent "forward-based" GPU virtualization support. The performance is bad (on my system, around 25% of native), but for old games, it's enough. I'm hoping that VirtualBox 7.0 will have similar performance (and support; it had 3d virtualization already, but it was very poor).
firstly, stop drinking sweetened drinks. drink only pure alcohol.

secondly, drink good alcohol. like extra old rum(generic term for well aged rums) or 12y+ scotch.

thirdly, drink high ABV, non-chill filtered or as natural alcohol as you can get. you will not be able to drink more than one, maybe two, glasses of a juice like that. it will fill up your desires. you'll have enough with one glass.

fourth, don't drink socially. drink at home, alone. watching some entertainment or doing some work.
Bus factor. I had a very nice home setup (three 24 ports switches and a 6-port router) with multiple VLAN, GPON terminated on my own device (emulating the ISP's hardware), bonded Ethernet links, fully routed IPv6, sane firewalling, ad-filtered DNS, reverse proxy etc. - but I was the only person in my home (six kids + adults) to know how to maintain it. Anything happens while I'm away and Internet access stops. I borked an update and was offline for a couple of days - that was once too many for the users.

So we are back to the ISP's router, no VLAN and soon some Wireguard overlay for my hosting.

I'm sad about this: replacing infrastructure I control with the ISP invading my home, replacing tailor-made with generic consumer products, replacing native Internet with yet another overlay network... But MTTR rules my world.

That was a very well written issue.
I would hope they set that rate to what they think is optimal for the economy, regardless of their solvency.

I only skimmed the article, but I don't see where it gives reasons why solvency matters, although it hints it might. I was under the impression it doesn't really matter if the fed is solvent, since I can't think of any concrete consequences.
Some more examples can be found in Schrodingers book "Nature and the Greeks".

One that stuck with me is the "discovery" of atoms. Some philosopher (don't remember the name) in Greece was thinking about the volume of a pyramid. And he imagined what would happen if we dissected the pyramid through the middle and looked at two squares formed on the bases. He reasoned that the squares should have equal areas, however if that was the case for every such dissection the pyramid would never form and instead we would have a cube.

So his reasoning was that in order to explain this paradox objects in the real world should be composed of small elements, so that after dissection the squares are slightly different.

I don't understand this... like... at all. At least for the BoE situation. So BoE has a load of bonds on it's balance sheet. These bonds are going down in value, so the bank is making a loss. This presumably goes on the UK deficit? If that's the case we're in trouble right? Because the UK is already at 143% Debt:GDP, interest rates are only now starting to go up, and the government's entire plan is to deficit spend to grow the economy. So it sounds like this increase in interest rates is likely to eat away massively at our budget and force us into more austerity?
They seem to be doing the interference themselves these days.
I started consuming a lot of non-alcoholic drinks. When I went out for dinner, at home, whenever.

I've also been a cyclist for some time, but since I started doing regular bunch rides, I decided it wasn't worth having a drink if I had to be up and cycling at 5:30 the next morning.
You can give a try formalizing some basic math with proof assistants. With such an attempt, you will discover that 90% of your time will be spent transforming types into other types and working through obvious transformations.

And when you are done, the least obvious steps (for your reader) will be hidden in a forest of obvious steps. Suppose that you want to communicate to someone how to get to B from A. You don't tell them "lift your foot in this manner, then lift your other foot in this other manner, go a little left when you see this small obstacle", etc... you assume that they have competence at navigating commonplace obstacles, and give just the directions that they should take at intersections.
You have a system that works for you but you're confused if you think that is complete enough to be a stand in for what I have described.

I totally agree that we need a standard -- but it is already here: markdown files with YAML frontmatter, github-style checkmarks and hash-tags. All synced via your favorite filesystem synchronizer.

This is supported by the tool discussed here (`nb`), and over the last 20 years, I have used it with all these tools:

- Notational Velocity (macOS)
- Resoph Notes (MS Windows)
- nvPy (cross platform)

I think there is also often an incentive problem. Could someone have monetized their disbelief in phlogiston? A lot of modern science is often largely inconsequential outside the business of science, so you need to monetize within the community, which makes "attacks" on what is common knowledge probably not very worthwhile.
There is the .wit in "component model" proposal that is actively developing. Could you explain how it's going to make different between your work here without the .wit and with the .wit files?
It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg issue (compare to the Python GIL).

Doing these kinds of analysis and optimizations takes time (and might impact language design), most "popular" languages before Rust got traction seldomly took memory models into accounts (still in the mid/late 90s lookup tables was still faster than doing certain kinds of "primitive" calculations that CPUs/GPUs eats for breakfast now). Bakers's Linear Lisp (a kind of precursor to Rust) and some StandardML that had region allocations, but that research was still mostly about tradeoffs in memory liveness.

The "data-oriented-design" movement in games has led to ideas of allowing structure-of-arrays instead of arrays-of-structures to be used in identical ways in a couple of languages, sadly many people involved in these spheres are allergic to GC's so it's still a bit of a narrow design field whereas I'm kinda curious about where layered designs could be taken.
Except the ECMAScript changes weren’t changes but additions. Anything using the var keyword gets the traditional semantics, anything using let and const gets lexical scoping.

As an example:

x = [];
for (var i of [1, 2, 3]) {
x.push(() => i);
}
x.map(f => f()) == [3, 3, 3]

x = [];
for (let i of [1, 2, 3]) {
x.push(() => i);
}
x.map(f => f()) == [1, 2, 3]

What’s being proposed for Go is instead a breaking change.
On rates, I believe the rates track the monetary policy, they can't jack up interest rates to 5% and pay 0.5% on bank reserves. Not the least because that would create big holes in private banks p&l.

On QE unwind, I think it is more a political pressure and damage control to the economy than convenience.
I suffer from epilepsy and I've often gotten epileptic attacks after drinking alcohol.

Due to local laws each time you have an epileptic attack you're not allowed to drive for six months.

So for me quitting alcohol came very easy. It was a choice between being able to drink or not being able drive, so I obviously choose driving.
What worked for me was Allen Carr's book Easy Way to Control Alcohol https://amzn.eu/d/89NkrKR

I tried several times to stop drinking previously, the longest I managed was for about 3 months. I think the hardest part is really deciding that you want to stop drinking. Once I did that, I read the book and it was easy. I haven't had a drink in about 6 years since.

What I like about this book is it doesn't make it into such a big thing like AA does. I don't think I was an alcoholic, though I did have some problem drinking types of patterns, and maybe the AA approach is necessary for full on alcoholics but I don't have to avoid going to bars or social situations where others drink for fear of relapsing, I just don't drink anymore.

I know this book has worked for a lot of people but no doubt it doesn't work for everybody. It made something that at times seemed impossible for me seem easy though.

One incredibly cool thing about Linux is you can install the qemu-user-static package and run binaries intended for other architectures. They install as new binfmt handlers. Got an executable that was compiled for ARM and want to run it on your X86 box? No problem, just go ahead and run it, - it'll be seamlessly emulated and, if needed, syscalls with architecture-specific quirks will be automatically translated to your host kernel (the rest being passed on verbatim). It's like the opposite and the complement of Wine, in a sense.
For quitting smoking your last three points are the ones I identified as critical to success as well. In addition one more:

* A mindset of , yeah you want a smoke right now - that's fine but you can probably wait another 10 minutes right? Then 10 minutes later, if you could go 10, you can probably go another 20? And hopefully you'd find something else to occupy yourself with by then.
Chromeos uses crosvm, not qemu. Qemu uses virgl to provide opengl, but I think vulkan is still in the works. You can use crosvm on Linux too,works pretty well, it uses a newer version of virgl to provide vulkan.

Most bots don't bother setting cookies, or downloading CSS. Exploit this by including a dummy CSS file on your site that, on the backend, stores the visitor's IP in some kind of database, or sets a cookie. If you get multiple visits from an IP that never hit the CSS file, you can be reasonably confident the user is not legit. You need to be careful about not blocking good bots though. Do a reverse DNS lookup before actually blocking an IP to make sure it's not Googlebot, yandexbot, bingbot, slurp, etc. OpenResty is great for implementing this.

It has the nice side effect of protecting you from run-of-the-mill DDoS attacks too.

(I realize half my comments here are about OpenResty, but I have no affiliation with them. I'm just a happy user.)
What elements are you referring to? Just curious. Maybe it's a calorie thing?
Your comment makes no sense, I don't want to anything out, I want to see everything, then use operators or dorks to filter out what I don't want if I wish to.
I agree overall it's great advice.

But it's also very boring.

And maybe not everyone needs it, but letting go, breaking your own & other moral rules, at times can be a very benificial thing.

I blacked out at a party when I was 18. The morning after, I had no recollection whatsoever about half of the evening despite my friends telling me how funny I had been and all. That momentary loss of time and control scared the shit out of me, enough to make me stop right there and then. That was thirty years ago. Thirty years without a lapse.
It was all based on lies and fabrication without any conspiracy. You are assuming it requires a conspiracy to pull it off, but why would it? These agencies, media and companies are all interested in the same thing which is US hegemony and profits not the truth, that automatically makes them do this without need for any conspiracy.

And why wouldn't they? What exactly has been the punishment for so called reliable media for spreading lies over and over again? If anything they are considered more reliable than ever. Which means people consuming it are not interested in truth either.
Yeah, that's incredibly bizarre. He does it in both scenes right before putting it on, but also once while just handling the sweatshirt in the second scene.

Can't come up with a good guess other than some personal or performative idiosyncrasy.
Companies? They're usually scrappy nonprofits that don't have much in the way of funds, compared to the prison-industrial complex bankrolled by state governments.
Crimea is almost exclusively ethnic Russian. This [1] is from the 2013 Wiki page on Ukrainian demographics. The annexation polls in Crimea from 2014 were not fabricated or coerced, and their results were subsequently validated by numerous Western polling agencies, including Gallup [2].

That's the entire question of this war (and the one entirely absent from Western media). After the Russian leaning government in Ukraine was overthrown in 2014, those heavily Russian territories declared their independence, starting a civil war. Numerous efforts were made to resolve this were made (the Minsk accords), but went nowhere. Russia blamed Ukraine, Ukraine blamed Russia.

So who gets to decide the fate of a people within an area? The people within that area, or the government with historic claims to the land of the area? That's not a rhetorical question because the traditional answer has always been the latter - generally changed only by war or collapse.

But I think it's an important and fundamental one that must eventually be answered on a global scale if we ever want a peaceful world. At what scale does the right to self determination and rule begin? Obviously a household shouldn't be able to declare itself independent, but a city? County? State? Region?

Private Equity Captures Rather Than Creates Value (2020)
> Only when someone goes against the "scientific consensus" does any progress get made in any field.

That's a fundamental misunderstanding of Kuhn's model.

Progress gets made when scientists do normal science within the prevailing paradigm. That's the activity that turns fancy theories into something useful. Over time, scientists encounter issues that cannot be resolved within the paradigm. When a paradigm shift occurs, science takes many steps backwards and several steps sideways to deal with such issues.

Yes. Blink and WebKit, and I suspect a bunch of other - correct - software uses os_unfair_lock. Because os_unfair_lock is public, documented, and stable API.

The function this article is talking about is not API, it is part of the OS internals, presumably used to implement the standard API functions.

The BoE is independent (in theory) from the government.
If the bonds that BoE own go to zero, their entries are effectively just deleted from the database.
In the same way that an increase in the number of £ in the database doesn't increase the government's deficit.

It's a very simple concept but can have psychological hurdle to overcome, given the simplicity of it and implications once internalised.

Analogy .. BoE has root admin access to the database of £. Government does not, has read only access.
Correct, and that isn't what this article is talking about.

This article is about an internal function in the OS that they've decided to is what they'd like to use, and that the only reason they aren't using it is because it doesn't exist in older versions of macOS, because you know, it is an implementation detail of the OS.

Small landlords may do that… but how does “everyone else” price?

If you set price to low, you’re leaving money on the table, price too high and you won’t find a tenant. Price high (but not too high), it may take longer to find a tenant (more lost rent), price low and you’ll get lower income tenants (who will be more likely to miss rent, because they’re less likely to be non-salary workers). The rents will “naturally” trend to a rate that is affordable but budget-filling of the desirable demographic -in a big city that’s well paid office workers who move a lot.

Do any operating systems have an API for cache-only memory that the OS is free to discard at will? Maybe there should be because the other end of the spectrum is unneccessarily loading the same things over and over again even though there is lots of excess memory available. Many games are guilty of this, not really taking advantage of overspecced systems.
A million times, this. You see extremely smart, rational, people start to attribute all kinds of personalized and emotional motives to things that are literally systemic, technical finance.
True in the absolute, but you would expect that if those flows and influence would be so large, that fraction would increase too.

What's stopping a large scale privatization of the penal system? Could it be that there are incumbent interests too that compete with the private prisons, such as party appointees and horse trading in local politics which see that flow of public money as a vital resource? Could it be - since they seem to be winning the competition - that those interests in the public system have an even larger lobby power on crime prevention policies?

Not trying to take the side of the godawful private prison industry here, just tired of this simplistic leftist dichotomy: capital bad, state good. Policies are decided with political influence and power, and money is one of the many forms political power can take. A bad political system, set up to ignore the interests of society, will be gamed by both private interests and political insiders; the west tends to suffer from the first problem, but for most of the rest of the world it would be "a nice problem to have".

+1 for NA beers, I’m drinking them instead of real ones since the beginning of pandemic.

In last couple years NA beers really got way better than they used to be.

Guinness NA is great. Heineken 0 is great. Clausthaler Grapefruit is great.
Similar. Now, I've only ever been an extremely light drinker, but earlier this year I simultaneously:

* Dropped drinking down to near-zero

* Started working out, with a no-excuse policy (b/c I know I will backslide if I skip a gym session)

* Cut out ice cream, cheese, most treats. This one hurts, but eating fatty foods works against the time and pain I'm putting in at the gym.

* Stopped gaming (tendonitis)

I found it was much easier to make all these changes together, than in the past when I try to just fix one axis by itself.
