I don't know what you mean by construct, but capitalism is an economic system that is regulated and enabled by the government because in order to own private property either you have to defend it yourself or you have the government set rules and act as the enforcement mechanism. Capitalism is one type of economic system that operates with the blessing of the government but there are others. Soviet Russia is an example of a different type of economic system. Capitalism couldn't flourish there because the government decided to not allow it to exist.

> capitalism is about valuing things to allow / encourage efficient allocation.

I think you are confusing a market pricing mechanic which is a feature of capitalism with the core tenet of capitalism which is the existence of the private ownership of the means of production.

> There is a cost to pumping co2 into the atmosphere. Capitalism doesn't take that into account. And as that is what it should be doing, failing to do so is a failure of capitalism.

For me the blame will always go to the government (and people) for failure to regulate because a market in a capitalist economy cannot value something that isn't being bought or sold. You point this out yourself by saying "capitalism is about valuing things...". The value is either 0 (until global warming starts getting nasty) or undiscovered. Nobody is buying or selling carbon (so far), so there's nothing for market economies to do with it. That's part of why a carbon tax in my mind seems like a great idea because we can introduce a pricing mechanic into a market economy and then allow efficient allocation of resources.

I do quite like the usability of lightning, and I was quite upset when they cut it. I tried using 3rd party USB-C magnetic adapters, but they mostly suck. I welcome the dualism of new lightning + USB-C charging, the best of both worlds.

Understanding it, doesn't mean obviously trying to become an influencer type on it. Did you really watch the video and see someone doing market research?
Yes, and: natural gas is a byproduct of oil production. For decades, natural gas was flared off as an unwanted byproduct. It is still flared off today when it's uneconomical to capture it.

Unlike other goods where supply will drop if there is insufficient demand, a lot of natural gas gets produced regardless due to oil production. It gets sent to market because there is no local storage capacity and the alternative would be to flare it off.

Shenanigans in the futures market aside, this contributes to (temporary) oversupply driving prices negative.

The same warehousing phenomena result in this negative price probably not lasting very long. Barring an extremely warm next few weeks, expect the price to be back up soon.
They didn't destroy any heritage. The paintings were behind glass. The whole thing was symbolic.

Is this product placement??? Surely there were other pictures that could have been used here... like... what I wanted to see is a person with their head glued to a painting. Not an ad.

To the naysayers (tongue in cheek): this isn't just any old vandalism, this is an oil painting. The symbology checks out.
Wind and solar energy also destroy ecosystems, but we don't stop using them. Dams may be more harmful, though.
From the article:

These companies were too cheap to put immobilizes in their vehicles, and also made it extremely easy to break into and manipulate the ignition barrel. So delinquents are stealing them en-masse for attention. Affecting up to 2021 model year KIA/Hyundai, all models.

>don't know why, this makes me a bit sad. You can sort of feel a game engine when you're playing a game.

absolutely. whenever a friend is playing anything with specific shader/specular/lighting styles I always yell "Unity!" while watching him. I'm generally dead-on accurate with those guesses. It's definetly not coincidence at this point; there is some default behavior or lighting gimmick I can generally always cue in on with regards to Unity. I think it's their style of specular lighting glow that gets painted onto way too many things by most creators.

I don't use the engine myself, so I can't tell you exactly what it is I hone in on, but I can for most titles.
Lightning is a trademark. As far as i know you can't make a lightning cable an sell it as one without paying apple
I don't think it's fair to blame "we". It's fair to blame very powerful interests that control media and politics. "We" are a product of the information that we receive, and so many people receive bad information that is paid and influenced by people who value money over preserving life on this planet.

I'm a fan of both but when I started with Python, after years of PHP, it took me a minute to get the indentation and line breaks in the right places so it would execute a simple script. This may have improved but it was really hard to find where I did something wrong with format and with PHP I could easily spot a missing $ or ;. Going back to PHP, the $ and ; made things look messy at first. With either, if you stick around long enough it just becomes muscle memory and you don't even consider it overhead of writing code and your eyes adjust to the syntax. I find it a non-issue these days.
I agree. I'm also excited about them finally adding npm support. I've toyed around with Deno quite a bit and really enjoy it, but the lack of an ecosystem got to me after a while .

I haven't found a straightforward way of using extensions to SQLite, for example, and unfortunately I don't have the time to implement one myself.

And to be honest even with the addition of realms, npm support etc. [1], I'm still not quite sure if Deno is only a more elegantly designed, less adopted version of Node that's trying to fix something which ain't really all that broken.

Not the person you're replying to, but the original Witcher felt fine to me too, but I'm a lifelong PC gamer and the interface/controls reminded me of older PC-only CRPGs like Summoner or even Neverwinter Nights. I love those games, but in terms of their control schemes they do feel clunky compared to the more visceral controller-optimized and streamlined Action RPG controls of The Witcher 2 and 3.

In other words, the first Witcher game is in more of a niche genre with significantly less mainstream appeal in terms of gameplay and UI.
Europe can't just "pay above premium prices" to replace Russian gas. It would have been physically impossible to replace the Russian gas (and it still is physically impossible to fully replace Russian gas within 2022) without creating a tremendous amount of infrastructure around getting LNG, which European countries have been incredibly successful at doing so.

The progress they've made in creating that infrastructure is beyond what basically anyone would have predicted at the start of the war.
For the more fixed configuration viewed as an alternative to using K8s... I think most people using containers don't need or want K8s, and most people using K8s wouldn't see this as replacing it. And besides this the service configurations would seem orthogonal to the runtime.

As far as faster, responsible and stable - WASM currently is slower and less stable, and the container world has good options to provide improvements sandboxing/isolation (like gvisor, firecracker, etc).
Okay, new book added to my reading list.

The book reminds me of the movie Moon from 2009 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_(2009_film)) that had clone workers with limited life span. Really great story and execution, even though low budget.

After Snowpiercer, I'll watch anything Bong will do. I am sure it will be really great.
I've been casual into podcasting and listening to the developers create Podcasting 2.0 and I haven't heard anyone talking about atom feeds. I think podcasting has firmly settled on rss.

Witcher 1 not so much, but Witcher 2 had a pretty good 360 port that a lot of people played in the West, and PC version did well too - across all platforms 1.7 million copies sold by 2012, another article I saw suggests 8 million by 2014.

I think thats getting towards very roughly ~1/4 the success of Witcher 3, volume wise. Not bad, considering Witcher 3 volume includes a portable Switch release.

SSNs are incredibly insecure (and also used in a way they were never intended). I don't think we need biometrics to replace them, but if there's a push to replace them, people will likely push for biometrics as hard as possible
The question should be: Why WOULD anyone want to learn Java in 2022? It’s not at the front of any trends that young people care about.

It’s not the go-to language for anything related to data science or ML, or webdev, or getting a job at FAANG. I’m not even sure it’s possible to write an Android app in pure Java anymore.

All this stuff about Oracle owning the IP or being mad about getters and setters is just internet people ranting to get their quick anger fix.

Or they can do like Rockstar and many others and outsource the port.

LFPR is up for people under 50. The drop in overall LFPR can be almost entirely attributed to the drop in immigration during the pandemic.
The idea is to keep the topic in the news cycle. Climate change is one of those issues that people are quick to forget about because the day to day effects are hard to see.

Shell scripting feels like scripting in cursive.
It’s obfuscatory (sed? curl? grep? ssssuper descriptive) for the sake of thinking about solving problems like the elder generation. To make matters worse, you’re not even doing hard computer science things most of the time. You’re tweaking bits in files, uploading/downloading, searching, etc. It’s like having a butler who only understands your grocery list if it’s written in cursive.

I agree we need a shell scripting language, I disagree that bash zsh or anything that frequently uses double square brackets and awful program names is the epitome of shell scripting language design.
Can't wait, Witcher 3 was unparalleled

I suspect that Apple has been in progress of moving things over to USB-C for a while (see the recent Apple TV and iPad changes). They have already moved off of USB-A chargers completely, moving onto USB-C chargers.

My understanding is they are also pushing the upper limits of what lightning charging cables are rated for, my suspicion is that it can't support PPS, so the lightning port is now limiting them both in charging speed/flexibility and in data transfer.

But in some markets (like the US) you have more lightning-charged iPhones than android phones. It is a lot big cost for their customers to bear, throwing away a decade of chargers and cables when Apple is not really going to be able to express it as an improvement to them - for instance, most phone users don't use the data channel at all, getting updates and backing up data with the cloud.

I find it odd people think their reluctance has been to defend profits on some sort of lightning cable ecosystem. Their margin on phones is likely $100+. Their margin on the licensing for a third-party cable is likely below $0.50.

I'd argue this regulation is great for Apple, because it gives them a scapegoat. Apple then claims didn't necessarily _want_ to cost their customers a bunch of money, but the EU mandated it. So Apple is going to go ahead and make the change worldwide.

But hey, look, at the same time we improved phone charging speeds and look how fast we can transfer ProRes media you captured with your phone now to your computer? Feel free to tack those new official charging cables and data transfer cables along with any chargers you need at purchase, if you don't have any already.

People can read about 60 pages of challenging material a day. It takes a certain amount of time for your brain to assimilate what you read that runs in the background between reading sessions. If you get 3 sessions in with 20 pages you aren't doing so bad.

I usually have 1-3 books stuffed in my (overpacked) backpack and read when I am on the bus, on the toilet, sometimes hanging around the house. I like reading and re-reading technical documentation on a tablet while doing cardio at the gym.

Personally I have to ration what I read because if I read too much I get anxious and I had an incident of rather troublesome "personality change" because I was deliberately loading myself with reading material intended to induce a "personality change". Personally I find games like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_Wars_2:_Black_Hole_Ris...

which involve recombination of a limited number of elements are better for my mental health than reading at the maximum rate that I can.

Yes, as far as I concerned Spotify was basically perfect in like 2012, and most all of the features added (and _REMOVED_) since then have made the app experience worse. I want to listen to music. That's it. Anything that gets in the way of me doing this is a net bad afaic.

I'm still particularly offended by their near deprecation of support for local files. When I first got into Spotify the seamless integration with my local music library was a huge selling point. At some point, the app tried to help me by "linking" my meticulously organized concert playlists with studio versions of the songs... I have not been inspired to give that feature more time since.

I feel like I get closer to just getting an mp3 player again every day.

USB-C was 2016 but yeah. 2006 to 2022, the changes were MagSafe 1 -> MagSafe 2 -> USB-C -> MagSafe 3. That's enough changing that every new laptop you bought probably had a different way of charging, and the MagSafes were hardly different from each other.

But the alternative was you got a Dell/whatever laptop with some one-off charging mechanism.
I don't know of any engines that dictate material properties. There are some where the default settings on the default materials are questionable coughUnity3Dcough. But a big studio game shouldn't/wouldn't be using the defaults on just about anything.

One of the biggest things indie game developers can do to not look like an indie game is to stop using the default settings on the default materials. Not necessarily even using custom materials. Just don't use the default settings.
My first attempt didn't go well either but I am glad I gave it a second chance. Once it starts winning you over, it is really good.

The fighting system is pretty old-school but once you get used to it, it is quite fun. It is very authentic to how Geralt is fighting in the Witcher books. It is simply more about rhythm and tactics than one might be used to.

Just because Witcher 1 is kind of hard to recommend for a casual gamer in 2022, does not mean it is garbage. It is just different. It has more of a niche appeal.

I am absolutely glad I got to play the original and some of its charm are the things are probably going to be modernized away in the remake.

Paypal is well known for randomly stealing money from user accounts and has been known for this for over a decade.

I would really like to see Apple publish how long they will support their devices and their operating systems for.

While they often support devices (particularly iOS devices) for a long time, I always seem to get the iPhone or Mac that gets the unusually low amount of support.
Something like ge-tracker? I always thought it sounded fun to work on something like that, but also a ton of work for a game I'd probably be bored with way before I'd be able to finish anything tangible. I'm guessing there's decent potential for profit though, so that might be a good motivator.
I've played Witcher I a lot and it's really fun, but I gave up on finishing it after I got stuck in a quest where I was in a cave fighting an infinite horde of enemies (with infinite respawn) and nothing happened no matter how many of them I killed.

Viewpoint on Patents
I'm a former USPTO primary patent examiner in computer related areas (don't hate me, I personally thought the system was broken more so than anyone else). However, I'm out now and I view patents as just part of the game; and as long as these are the rules, patents should be taken into account.

I want to start some sort of scalable project around helping startups at YC level type stage at least become educated on getting basic IP started and/or just start getting some easily.
