I think a lot of people here would be happy with TikTok taking over just like the same people here were happy with FB back in the day. Give it a few years and the roiling cesspool below the surface of dancing and singing will burst forth and the same crowd will be calling for TikTok's demise and will be on to the next thing (also bad).
This sounds clever, but it's actually diametrically opposed to the protocol model. The problem is companies push unilateral contracts of adhesion that you're "free" to take or leave. So if the contract regime ruled computer interactions (as "remote attestation" is poised to do) then you'd find yourself at the pointy end of a new stick.

It's the same reason US privacy regulation is doomed to failure unless it frames consent the same way the GDPR did. Not merely as something that is given once (and then vectoralized/sold), but rather something that needs to be given on an ongoing basis and can be withdrawn at any time.

Tactile feedback.

That's the only problem VR should be looking into. If you want to go from novelty to useful, you need genuine full body tactile feedback.

It needs to feel like I performed the action I'm pantomiming. Other devices have both an input buffer and a visual buffer. Be it a controller, keyboard, mouse, etc. So I don't need to feel the weight of an item I'm holding, I just need to feel the response of the button I pressed to do so. Plus, what I'm doing is happening to an avatar on the screen. So I'm disconnected.

However, in VR, there are fewer buffers. I'm now the avatar. So when I pick up an item, I expect to feel that weight. If I make a throwing motion, I expect it to feel different if I'm throwing a baseball as opposed to a basketball.

But in VR, it all feels the same. Beat Saber works because the game works within the confines of VR's limitations.
I think there's some confusion here. By "advertising" GP is referring to the business model where you offer a product to users, but your revenue comes from advertisers targeting those users.

No, not really, because while nobody enjoyed the pre-iPhone smartphone experience, it was obviously useful and there was adoption - think Blackberry.

VR though... it's really hard to imagine use cases that will cause a billion people to buy a headset and wear it for a number of hours a day.
That's pretty uncharitable, and really only makes sense as a criticism if you think the proponents don't really believe this is a critical, concrete issue for society (i.e. if you think they are just being political, or ignorant).
Do people really not remember the fairly large business adoption of Black berries pre-iphone? They remained the standard issue government smart phone even into the 2010s (DC at that time was very much like House of Cards in the usage of the device).

The iPhone completely changed the game, no doubt, but there were a lot of non-techies that had smart phones and used them heavily prior to the iphone's release.

A lot of replies to this comment are saying a version of "how is solar/wind/etc a trick?"

And the answer is that no, they are not a trick...they legitimately produce energy.

But the goal isn't "make more clean energy", the goal is "keep coal and oil and gas underground"!

And yet coal(!!) production is at basically all time highs, with oil not far behind.

Unless we start making oil, coal and gas artificially expensive to produce, "clean" sources just add to global energy usage, instead of displacing it.

If we reached actual zero emissions for humans, the ocean absorbing CO2 from air would almost exactly balance the warming climate lag, IIRC. But you're right in a sense that in reality most likely we'd still be emitting CO2, balance it with the natural CO2 sinks and call that net-zero.
FB/Instagram became boring for a very long time. Their recent pivot to "discovery" is a move in the right direction, but they are still ways off from staging a return. And all this is overshadowed by the Metaverse.

This looks super useful. Tempted to go and add CI-maintained gifs to a whole bunch of existing projects now.

Some ideas for new features:

* If the prefix of the tape file is unchanged, reuse the intermediate updates through that prefix from a cache (edit: hmm, upon further thought this seems more difficult than I initially imagined, since the state would need to be cached to save time, not just the images)

* Allow an option for using real-time delays in the gif or user-selected delays (I think currently delays are constant unless user-selected, but I don't see a way to use the real runtime delay in the gif)
The "Engineers doing direct customer support" has to be optimized for benefiting the engineer, not the customer. Ideally the engineer, faced with a problem, gets the option to pick customers to help 1 on 1 in order to gain insight into the best solution to the problem.

Not sure why it is downvoted, but Russia is massively on the benefiting side of global warming. It reduces the amount of useless land, and massively increases crops yields throughout its territory.

Geopolitically, it benefits from additional pressure on Europe to accommodate the migrations caused by climate change, and all the instability it causes.
> What's the difference exactly?

The difference is third party contribution. If you are playing games purely for personal enjoyment that’s great. If you consider it a sport you are probably someone else’s product with little or nothing but lost time to show for it. This has long since been explained in Nicomachean Ethics and Utilitarianism. What matters is not the carrot someone can dangle in your face but your ability to tell the difference.
PHP is improving, slowly, but it is still way better than the PHP 5.x days. If your last memory of PHP is from 5.x, it's a very different language now - even if it still has oddities, quirks, inconsistencies, and footguns, but PHP is still not the king of footguns - C++ is.

I would ask though that if any PHP developers are reading this, I would love a feature called `modern_syntax` or similar which represents a major break in backwards compatibility in exchange for modern language conventions (i.e. no `$` prefix on variables, no `;` ending lines, perhaps some renamed core functions for consistency - we can have a debate about this). Kind of like how we have `strict_types`. Or, perhaps it could be invokable on a per-file basis, by using `<?phpmodern` instead of `<?php`. Then you could have your traditional PHP framework (say, Laravel) which has years of work on it remain intact while having a modern-PHP layer of your app-specific code on top.

That would help, I would argue, with killing many of the PHP-specific criticisms while allowing some degree of backwards-compatibility.
He was our president, every former president is newsworthy. Even when they just speak out. January 6th and the theft of top secret documents including nuclear secrets guarantees that he's not leaving the news cycle anytime soon. If he's not charged with a crime that is disqualifying for president, most expect him to run and deny any loss, ensuring our republic is overthrown by a banana republic as well. Many folks are keeping eyes on him.

There's really no other political figure with as much unrestricted aggression as he has. I certainly don't have his nerve, I have far too much respect for the founders and institutions of our government to so willfully rage against it. I guess our greatest leaders, Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt and everything we've built till now humbles me.

But unlike Mr. Trump, I also was working as a paperboy at 12 years old, worked night shifts during college, and never got a break being unemployed all the way into my 40s now. There's a bigger difference between someone like me and Trump, and people of other racial and ethnic backgrounds. That's why I never saw eye to eye with him. But he is pretty fascinating.

The audacity and outright disregard for our institutions is absolutely astonishing. I do hope the media spotlight remains on him for the rest of his life, I don't want that guy flying under the radar. He's a reminder of what America's worst inclinations can produce. Never worked a job (other than President of the United States of America), was born at the finish line, and a soul full of man's worst inclinations. And believe me, I agree with at least 75%+ of "his" policies. I remain an independent. If I had to describe my leanings it would be a "pre-MAGA Republican, who supports unions". These parties have to work for my vote and cannot count on my vote.. In case, you think someone saying the things I have is somehow anti-Trump. If I am, it's only because it makes sense to be so.
> I think you've misunderstood my position.

I'm definitely confused about it now.

You said: "The poorer you are, the less you can individually consume, and the more you must go for things that are cheap at the expense of other things (e.g. buying single-use goods over and over is cheaper short-term than buying something made to last)." I disagree that the part in parentheses follows logically from the part outside the parentheses, and I disagree that the part in parentheses necessarily represents the economic strategy of poor people. So, I'm not sure what your view is on that, or what exactly you intended with that sentence.
To name a few: deep water drilling with underwater autonomous vehicles, extremely remote sites in the middle of the ocean or Arctic, dangerous high pressure pipelines, and some crazy geographic modeling. All these requires lots of high tech equipment and robust sensors.

Trump, Reagan are tw U.S. Presidents made recognisable to voters from earlier role in the media. The media should treat with equal favor questions of who are the enemies of a leader in their domestic context. Everything is relevant beyond six degrees of freedom separation in a model.
While you are making a factual statement, you're doing so while pushing a paradigm that absolves the media. The entire point of looking at numbers is to objectively judge the actual harm to people, rather than buying into the sensationalism. By the paradigm you're advocating, "the terrorists win".
> It effectively requires the use of pop-ups to "gain consent", it doesn't ban them.

Once again: the law isn't about cookie banners. The law is about user data.

That is: if you want to collect more data that is strictly required for the functioning of your business, then you must ask user for consent. Note: the law doesn't care if your business is online, or offline, or a combination thereof. If you set up a corner shop selling bread, and start asking customers for their name and address, you will be subject to the same GDPR provisions as a website.

How difficult is that?

Literally nothing in the law requires cookie banners. The only reason these obnoxious cookie banners exist is because the greedy leeches in our industry cannot live without siphoning your data en masse and selling it to the highest bidder, consequences be damned.

Now. Here's what you said: "Either GDPR should be updated to ban consent pop-ups and simply make “REJECT” the default everywhere"

The law already clearly states: REJECT has to be as simple as giving consent. And the entire industry said: yes, of course, here's a default "accept" with hundreds of pre-checked boxes, and you have to go through every single one of them one by one to reject.

How is that the law's fault?

They cannot ban people from asking users for consent to collect data. However, the law is rather explicit: any person has the right to reject this, the rejecton has to be as easy and clear as accepting, and people cannot be denied service just because they rejected collection of non-necessary data.

As the article above states: once the law started to be enforced, sites started obeying the law, and not flaunting it. Well, they still flaunt it with their "legitimate uses" bullshit, but the tide is ever so slowly turning.

Too bad, even developers are so gullible as to have been tricked into parroting the "law is bad" and "law requires obnoxious cookie banners" nonsense. No, it isn't. No, it doesn't.

> To the extent that no one sniffs at the idea of saying "watching movies" is a hobby of theirs.

Interesting. I actually sniff at that idea :) For me, watching movies is a pasttime activity, similar to say scrolling your phone. A differentiation between pasttime activity and a hobby for me is that hobby requires some level of effort.
Depends on the requirements. One I set this up years ago and it uses AMT - IME only provides a few functions although I don’t recall exactly what from memory.

The key difference is that you can provide a level of assurance and multi-tenant access without an OS. For example you can run a hypervisor on the PC and have a few OS instances running.
You probably need to believe that mostly a younger generation will at some point buy into ambient socialization in VR, which is to say the metaverse/Second Life 2.0 I guess. I guess it’s possible but I’m not the target market.
We are too politically polarized to solve problems in this class, which requires political unity because of the scale, cost, and speed requirements.

All of our major political forces play games, constantly make moves in bad faith, talk out of both sides of their mouths publicly vs privately, so we are screwed.

The reality is that IF climate change science were a big hoax (sadly, it's not) there WOULD be a team using it for political games, so there will always be a large class of people who believe that's what's going on.

Maybe if we didn't spend decades politicizing every microscopic issue including in science, technology, and medicine, we could have policy makers advocate for positions based on science and everyone would trust it. That's not the world we live in and unfortunately, it looks like we never will.
Let's be perfectly clear: the projection you are citing is on the extreme end of a spectrum. Other projections differ. Per the (non-headline) part of the article:

> The estimate stands in sharp contrast to optimistic forecasts published last week that suggested heating could be held to 1.9C or 1.8C, thanks to commitments announced at the talks, now in their second week and scheduled to end this weekend.

> Those estimates were based on long-term goals set out by countries including India, the world’s third-biggest emitter, which is aiming for net zero emissions by 2070.

> By contrast, the sobering assessment of a rise of 2.4C from Climate Action Tracker (CAT), the world’s most respected climate analysis coalition, was based on countries’ short-term goals for the next decade.

It's worth pointing out that the "world's most respected climate analysis coalition" bit is some rather blatant editorializing. There's simply no way that's an objective fact (what did they do, survey the entire world?) Even if there were a way to defend such a statement, it's little more than an appeal to authority, to try to get you to believe this estimate, versus other estimates.

After the past three years and watching their coverage of Covid (an area of science I know well, and in which I read the primary literature), I give zero credibility to the Guardian as a source of objective information. They routinely play these kinds of rhetorical and selective-reporting games to play up the most extreme angle for any story.

It's sad, but we've gotten to the point where you simply cannot trust major news organizations to report on science without ridiculous levels of clickbait spin.
All the possible "extreme" dangers and disasters have end result comparable with 1 day of using coal at the scale humans are using it.

It could conceivable just be something like a developer using the wrong draft version, the lawyer accidentally sending the wrong version after a few rounds of back-and-forths over potential drafts, or some other fairly silly mix-up like that.

Of course calling it a "mistake" is more likely to be corporate spin and back-pedalling, but you can never be quite sure because the explanation could be true, and that's kind of the point of the spin.

"You have much less options when you are processing PowerShell objects."

There is simply no need for the kind of extensive text processing common in Linux because every command returns an object whose fields can be directly referenced. Combined with the ConvertTo-Json command this is incredibly powerful. Honestly it seems like you are attempting to do things in PowerShell the bash way instead of the PowerShell way.

" I think the first thing I tried to do in PowerShell was a script that scanned a directory recursively for files containing a CRC in their name, and then check it"

I wrote a PowerShell script that recursively scanned every filed and folder on our fileshares and wrote the permissions to a file for later indexing.
