Most games on Nintendo aren't that gory. Also lots of "card games" essentially boil down to math/statistics.
I'm not the one you asked, but it depends on your interests. It could also depend on what you're not willing to tolerate as defederation plays some role in what you will see.
Two mistakes: one, survivorship bias, lots of people spent money on tech that didn't work. And two, the problem isn't that he is spending money, it is that he is spending money on something that continues to show no revenue. The point of spending money is not the technology, it is to get a return of more money later.

I can't think of any technology that required multi-decade spending on this scale before revenue, fusion? If something needs multi-decade spending, it is either a scam or uninvestable.
Just please without the weaknesses of the UK system, Boris Johnson, Theresa May Liz Truss, and Rishi Sunak in short order with mostly only input from hardcore party members is terrible form of democracy. The Lords system also is pretty bad as well though of less importance now versus something like US Senate.
Quite a lot of cache storage can be used and can be expanded on as well if there was a serious demand for it. Browser games don't technically have to redownload the entire game every load. The reason I claimed it as "cultural" is because of how we view browsers and interactive media within them. We are totally fine with opening a games store app, clicking download, and waiting and playing. The same is technically possible within the browser, but people are far less likely to wait for it.

It's like sound. People are OK with video games with clicky sounds going through menus with background music playing, but find it very obnoxious if a website does the same. Not a technical problem, but one of culture and how we view the mediums.

The price to rent ratio compares the price to rent vs own. It’s definitely cheaper to rent than to own in many places. You can also get rent control in many cities so comparing renting to owning is going to vary with the specific situation.
That's an interesting point of view, but is it not the case that the length of the synodic day varies throughout the year, on account of Kepler's 2nd. law? - IIRC, this is the first-order effect in explaining the analemma. The length of the sidereal day is also variable, but more slowly (at least if we put aside atmospheric and earthquake effects, which I guess affect both equally.)

I think we need both a way to reckon our everyday experience of passing time and a constant measure, and one cannot be just a special case of the other. Personally, I feel that introducing leap seconds into Unix time just muddied the waters.

As to the sidereal day being of little interest outside of astronomy, James Watt's patron/partner Matthew Boulton built a sidereal clock and tried hard to find a purchaser (even having it shipped to Catherine the Great in hopes of sparking some interest) without success. It was on display in his Birmingham home when we visited a few years ago.

Not sure what you mean, EAP is highway-only and using it off the highway is off-label and not safe. I have tried FSD beta and it was not great at the time (10.12.2)

The longest stretch I’ve used EAP for is >3 hrs going from MA to NY. Highways were totally smooth, did its own lane changes, etc.

It can be slightly jerky at times when the traffic keeps speeding up and slowing down sharply, that’s my only real complaint.
Well done, just made it my homepage too :)
A very good point.

Until there are the resources and demand to redesign a system for an important goal, the current system should be optimized where it reasonably can be, to better meet the same goal.

Until there are the resources and demand for a deeper redesign, the current code should be optimized as much as it reasonably can be.

Sometimes local optimizations are not worth the cost to make them, a local benefit/effort maximum has been reached. Only a more global change can take things further. But this doesn't look like one of those cases.

It is also worth noting that it is very rare that actual global redesigns are ever economical. Virtually every improvement, in anything, at any scale, is a "local redesign" in some sense.

So "up with" economical local optimizations!
Yeah, but it's a lot harder.

The native binary operators aren't a three way compare though.

The author seems to assume nobody needs a three way compare, which I feel is assuming a bit too much.

In particular because it is there because someone is using/needing it already.

Basically their comment actually says that everyone who does need a three way compare should just re-implement what they wrote there (and maybe they'll make sure everyone's code is optimized later). Sounds pretty bizarre to me to discourage code reuse. And if three way compares are a pattern they want to discourage in the first place it should be elaborated on in documentation.
People try to get cute with 3-way compares. A real Java bug that inspired:
https://errorprone.info/bugpattern/BadComparable

public MyFile implements Comparable {
...
long timestamp;
...
@Override
public int compare(Object other) {
return (int)(((MyFile)other).timestamp - timestamp;
}
...
}

The int conversion loses the sign of the subtract. The particular use of the code was sorting files to delete the X number of oldest.

More examples about the dangers with just ints:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2728793/java-integer-com...

The comparable API in Java came from the C qsort API. It would have been better to just have a less-than method. Kind of surprised to see this in Go near a core API.
As a (non-MIT) alum, i am way more curious to see how the "regular" buildings and places on my college campus look today compared to how they were back in the day. As a student, I couldn't care less for the "welcome center" type of buildings, and neither do I care about them now.
>Otherwise, the employees can also say they failed at their task if they wouldn't determine you to part with a large sum while putting in the minimum possible amount of work and working two jobs minimum.

I have no idea why they would want to work two jobs minimum as a part of their task at my job specifically, but yes, part of being an employee is understanding how much money you can get paid in a negotiation with your employer and getting that amount is a success.

I, as a software engineer, will never trust an autonomous vehicle that is not on rails. Even then, it better be a slow-ass train so I can jump off with minor injuries if anything goes awry.

I might trust a fully-open-sourced vehicle, produced in a manner which the software and hardware design and implementation are fully verified as error-free versus a simple-to-understand open-source model. That will never happen, though.

I agree, lane changes are a really nice feature for me that made it worth it although depending on how price sensitive you are it might not be worth it. I think people forget or don’t realize that tesla is purposely pricing this stuff for the kinds of people who think $6,000 is pocket change. If that’s not you, don’t buy it.
Super excited to see you launching here Dan, wishing you the best of luck!
Just to be totally clear on this, you're claiming that "People who have coal will not burn it if costs more than building out renewables"

You do realize that you're commenting on an article showing that people are literally, today, as we speak, doing exactly the opposite. i.e. tearing down decade-long investments in renewables to get at coal.
> It is in fact so good that people can sleep in their cars and not crash -- and I wouldn't bet that the guy who sleeps in the car only did it once!

This thinking is absolutely going to get someone killed. It’s also why Tesla faces so much criticism.

Any improvement under 99.999% is unremarkable because the end product is unusable. No one is going to buy a car that crashes once a year.

These are really good answers. I couldn't find any of this info in the docs on your site though!

And BTW, it's been a while since I last checked the numbers, plus we've moved to GitHub Actions recently. Our current setup time is almost 5 minutes for each parallel runner. Saving that time by using prebuilt runner images starts to sound like a great idea.

I'm curious, do you keep an image for each customer? And you must have some heuristic for determining when their setup environment changes and requires rebuilding?
Thanks for sharing! I am so glad your cat is alive and healthy!

I haven’t heard about Mutian or oral GS, I will look into that further. As for Facebook groups, in my initial search I also found a bunch of Facebook groups. I pointed him at a couple “FIP Warriors” private groups, but I don’t have facebook myself and can’t verify that they’re legit.

Ideally, I’d just like to link him to a legitimate source to buy from because the poor guy is understandably freaking out. The unclear writing about the legality of this stuff (which I would REALLY like to nail down) might preclude somebody posting that information publicly though.

Luckily he is a physician so hopefully that will make giving his cat injections a bit easier, though I don’t think they teach you how to give a 6 month old kitten a subcutaneous shot in medical school!
If an intellectual thinks in a forest, did he really think? A core part of intellectual work [1] is that it must be disseminated to other people.

University do disseminate academics to students, but students often pay for that privilege. Allowing the public free access to the library, to seminars and other intellectual events on campus is a different way of spreading knowledge and learning [2]. More importantly, by allowing public the university reminds itself that it is not just a commercial institute that produces a product, a mindset very common in universities now.

There are other ways that universities can resist being commercialized, but public access is a visible canary, which once it dies signals the end.

[1] especially work funded partly by tax payer dollars

[2] Public outreach should be a core goal of any university. See [1]

> An unamendable constitution is not an American tradition. U.S. state constitutions are much easier to amend than the federal Constitution.

This is the problem and the solution. The more power and control that's been forfeited to the Federal gov, the less and less effective that entity has become. Yet the less effective it becomes the more push there is to give more power to Washington DC.

The solution is simple. Return - at least temporarily - to more of a pre New Deal mindset.

It might be better to replace the link with this [1] article from yesterday that digests the argument:

> The authors of this new paper don’t think so. “We suggest, following the hypothesis of Hansen & Zuckerman (2021), that an expanding civilization will preferentially settle on low-mass K- or M-dwarf systems, avoiding higher-mass stars, in order to maximize their longevity in the galaxy,” they write.

I figured longevity would come into it. Remember systems like Trappist will live for trillions of years. There are three main problems with this argument:

1. Once you have the technology and the erngy to travel to different star systems, the energy output of a star is way more important than longevity. Bigger stars might burn out faster but they will produce a ton more total energy in their much shorter lifespans.

2. It is technically possible to extend the lifespan of stars. This is a whole futurism topic in and of itself but basically there are means of extracting mass from stars and you can greatly increase their longevity by removing Helium; and

3. While I agree with the paper that SETI is pretty much a waste of time, this paper seems to not address the main way a K2 civilization will be detected: by the IR signatures of Dyson Swarms.

The only way to get rid of waste heat in space is to radiate it away. People will often suggest that heat could be recycled. While true, this simply makes the system more efficient (ie less waste heat). It won't eliminate it. And even 1% of a normal star's waste heat is significant.

Thermal radiation radiates at a predictable wavelength based on the temperature of the radiating material. This means any significant Dyson Swarm has an IR signature that will stand out like a shining beacon, particularly to IR sensitive instruments like JWST.

So even if aliens only colonize long-lasting smaller systems, we'd still be able to detect their inevitable Dyson Swarms if they were a significant presence.

The choice isn't 'nuclear or not' it's '1 nuclear or 2 renewables'.

If renewable investment was tripled and you could still wrest more money from the coal lobby then building nukes with that would make sense. Until then it just means burning more coal (which is precisely why it's being shilled so hard).

Even then spending money on a sodium ion or iron air battery factory will probably pay off sooner.
My two kids have enjoyed the iPad game Inventioneers, about making zany Rube Goldberg devices out of a wide variety of objects.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has taught my brain how to keep my body moving even when fight/flight is in full effect. You can understand things are going to hell and lessen the effects of the hormones. There are situations where you literally feel like you have to shit your pants in BJJ. Knees on the chest, chest compression moves, etc. it hits the CNS hard. You learn to be calm and work through it. Panic means you will actually shit your pants or lose the position / match. You effectively learn to operate in the worst situations. It all comes down to training really, and pilots have a ton of it for just this reason (operating in unexpected and bad situations).

cf. current CA legislation that will make it hard/impossible for other states to sell pork in CA that was not raised in accordance with CA law.

Now, I happen to agree with the CA legislation, and would love it to cause a change in pork rearing nationwide. But you have to see the writing on the wall: with the level of economic inter-connectedness we have today, either large-market states get to dictate policy, or you need a higher-level body that takes charge of this sort of thing.

>But I would never bet against Mark.

I think that's part of the problem to be honest. People who have a reputation for never making mistakes tend to double down rather than acknowledge the mistake and back off.

Imagine going straight from your early 20s into a position where you're hailed as never making a mistake. IG, whatapp, etc all panned out. What happens when you finally do spend $2billion on a failure such as oculus? Do you note the failure and back off or do you start spending $20billion a year, change the company name and double down (to the power of 8)?

Anyway at least this instance of it is more harmless than Putin's example in global terms. It's still reasonably clear to me what's happening though.

People even before they come out as transgender or realize what they are tend to cluster together due to personality similarities. So you have friend groups where the transgender quotient is really high, whether they know it yet or not. Once one of the eggs cracks in a friend group, it definitely might cause an avalanche, but it doesn't mean that it's peer pressure, it's just that nobody wants to be the first or realizes yet that this is an option.

As for self destructiveness and self mutilation... is something that people should decide for themselves what medical changes of their bodies they consider mutilation vs which ones they consider improvements. Some people get tattoos and they really like them. That is fine. I would consider one on mine a mutilation of my beautiful body. So the way you put it is quite insulting. Many transgender people wake up every day as if their bodies have been mutilated the day before: that's what they want to correct. It's a phenomenon I have no relationship with other than hearing it from other people, but I've seen it so many times.

Nope. The article explains that the wind central was, since its construction, planned to have a given life span.
It is incorrect to say that they are replacing wind by coal. What they are doing is closing wind that reached its end of life, and profiting from the empty space to expend coal.
In fact, this article shows even the opposite of what you say: for years, the wind central was used despite blocking exploiting the coal: the fact that they are expending the coal only when the wind central has to be closed anyway shows that the wind central was more profitable than the coal.

Afraid it's still the case as of late September: https://thetech.com/2022/09/28/campus-access-open-letter .

I'm feeling less and less at home in the place. Besides the bad vibes, this will cause real problems for seminars and colloquia, both for the invited speakers who will have to trail locals every time they need to get into the building, and for the visitors from other places (Boston has no shortage of those) who want to attend. But apparently, no one counts visitors, so visitors don't count.
Eh, at least flippers put the houses back in circulation. I have a much larger issue with institutions buying homes en masse to rent.
I have had a similar experience. We started with injections, which were very difficult, and switched to pills eventually. It was a difficult and expensive process, but totally worth it. My cat was very nearly dead, and now he is healthier than ever. You would never know he was sick.

I went through the FIP Warriors 5.0 Facebook group. They are legit, and they do much more than help you find the medicine. They support you through the whole process.
