Honest question - do you think actions such as will draw more people to act on behalf of the planet?

Personally I think acts like this have the opposite effect. "Those environmentalists are loons" is probably a common response. If you want to discredit a movement, giving attention to most extreme people is a good way to do it.

This is fucking crazy interesting. Can't wait for this drama to unfold.
Witcher 1 made a big splash among fans of PC RPGs and action RPGs. Didn't hurt that it landed in the middle of a relative doldrums for those genres—they got much healthier again a bit after that.

2 and 3 switched to a more console-friendly style of play and had good success there, though, so I expect they did more to spread the word than 1 did.
I can only really speak to my experience, but I don't really remember Witcher 1 being a thing. Witcher 2 was pretty big and then Witcher 3 was pretty massive.
Pumped Hydro doesn't have to be built on a river - you just need a pair of reservoirs that you can fill and transfer water between. This obviously destroys the ecosystem of the valley you use, but at least you're not impacting river water temperatures/sedimentation/fish spawning/etc.

Thanks for visiting! I'll put together a blog post, but it was similar to the process in my previous work here: https://blog.mused.org/digitizing-luxor-temple-a-virtual-fie...

Similar except I captured with Matterport Capture and then downloaded and aligned data captured with BLK after in Cyclone so that we'd have both sets.
I also agree that publishing is a different thing, it is very much the difference between private and public communication.

Where a private group becomws of the size that posting there constitutes an act of publication is a matter of discussion, but I'd argue below a certain size any group chat can still be seen as private communications.

This means Signal groups with their lower size are in less jeopardy than a one-to-many telegram group.

I think it's relevant here because these type of actions are controversial. Some say they serve the cause, some say they hurt the cause. If you believe that they hurt the cause, then you may find an explanation to those actions by digging into who's funding it.
People expect to be able to charge the headphones they use for their phone the same manner they charge their phone. I suspect they'll be quick to change over such accessories once they change the phone port - they have had several smaller revisions to the non-pro AirPods, such as adding support for wireless and MagSafe charging cases. We will likely just be able to buy a new case when that happens.

The real surprise is that the mice, keyboards and trackpads haven't gotten a meaningful update in a long while, so there's no USB-C on any of them. You'd think they would have long ago decided to switch those to USB-C, since the computer ships with a C charger - and because they could justify removing the bundled cables from the packaging.
I think lightning has a much poorer data throughput, though?

I seem to remember Apple needing to embed clever video comrpession ICs in their cables to get around this, in cases where it couldn't cope with the data needed for a raw signal?
They come from human nature. The evidence comes from how well a society thrives, or fails to thrive, under particular sets of rights. The US has thrived, so its concept of rights is more accurate than, say, communist rights, under which people do very poorly.

As someone that used to work on the Play Store team many many moons ago... a lot of that was outsourced to overseas which resulted in much slower response time.

Hopefully they will revisit them just long enough to throw them in the trash and implement an entirely different combat system than the bad ones they had in Witcher 1.

"Dreams take us to a different reality, a hallucinatory world that feels as real as any waking experience."

Does it really? It doesn't feel that real when you know it's a dream. All the dreams I can remember are always ones that I know it's a dream.

"rare phenomenon and lucid dreams can seldom be summoned at will, which has made it difficult for researchers to capture them in the lab in a reliable manner."

I mean, I can't summon them at will, but I do tend to dream most nights, and they're (as far as I can remember) always lucid.

I'm looking forward to more info about dreams and lucid dreams. I wonder if there's any correlation to stuff like dementia or early death. It seems like lucid dreaming is very tiring and that I don't wake well rested (I should add that I can generally control or struggle to control what goes on in the dream, so that might be part of it).
A critique of "mainstream" FP:

Which one is used in the context of an execution?
I also normally charge my phone at night, but I find the USB-PD charging super valuable when traveling, because if my phone is at 20% it will very very quickly be back up to 60% or so off of a USB-PD charger. Apple A-to-Lightning fast charging isn't slow, but it isn't that fast, and it's one more thing to think about.

You don't have to buy new power banks, either. And really, you don't have to buy new adapters either, if you don't want to! A-to-C is supported for both data and charging. iPads already fall back to Apple's old fast charging over A-to-C when your adapter or power bank supports it, I don't think there's a reason an iPhone wouldn't. It won't be as fast as USB-PD, but that upgrade's a choice.

Your concerns are definitely not nothing, but I think you're really overthinking it. It's not a step change, you can do it gradually, and when you go to USB-C on both ends, you'll get something for doing it. (USB-PD is currently available with C-to-Lightning cables, but you've said you don't have any of those right now, so I would assume it's not a big deal to you and you will realize the benefits when you upgrade.)

Amazonian here, opinions are my own, blah blah.

He did the right thing.

While I like WFH, I do believe that interns and juniors should be at the office at least 3 days a week. Being there helps them understand how company interactions work, see senior people work and how they handle themselves, if part of his team is in the office they can see if he is struggling and help him more than just asking on slack. Also, Amazon onboarding is quite overwhelming and I believe that if you see other people using or speaking about the tooling you are learning, it gives you some relief that in time he will too get it.

Apart from that having Amazon in the resume opens the door to easier hiring in other FAANG like places.

It's always day 1.

I get the feeling that a lot of these game remakes are sort of IP normalization moves. Get all the studio's IP onto standard modern tools so that new game devs won't be surprised by custom engines to make maintenance and rerelease easier, especially as the studio transitions from a small boutique studio to a bog-standard AAA sweatshop.

I also think this is the reason for Naughty Dog rereleasing The Last of Us on PS5. Though the engine itself was written in C++, it used a lot of Scheme code to generate game data and components and I think they want to move off that because it's baffling to the new devs they want to onboard.

I'm waiting for Id Software to throw in the towel and rerelease Unreal versions of Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal.

Climate change deniers, of course. Go engage with them. It can't be any more pointless than fucking up some painting.
It's hard to know for sure but most people believe they did a ton of either super rushed manual work and/or AI upscaling on the textures and models that would explain the "plastic" look to everything. It doesn't really matter what engine is backing it if the textures and modeling are bad. And if they didn't spend the time to sort out material properties then the engine won't treat skin any differently than cloth, or cloth differently than metal, etc.

these are more examples of modelling issues but it shows how little care and QA went into the remake:

Meh. Steam's got a billion games now that do that exact thing. Tons and tons of games did before it, too. The only notable thing about it was having that kind of thing in a game that was otherwise good enough and had enough else going on not to be categorized primarily as a porn game.

I'll just wait for it to be modded back in.

[EDIT] Actually a few other mainstream non-porn games have done almost the same thing, since, too. The Saboteur comes to mind. Some whole series are all about that sort of thing, like DOA.
Ok yeah, that horrible. In Slovenia, your fingerprints (for biometric passports) are sent along with the print order to the manufacturing facility and then deleted. For all photo IDs (passport, ID card, driver's license, weapon permit), your photo is either scanned and sent along with the order or uploaded to a database that deletes it after 2 weeks. Nothing is ever stored permanently or accessible by anyone other than the people and systems directly involved in getting your document made. *

* That is, of course, what the law says. I have no reason to believe "the government" is breaking that law, but no way to verify either. It would probably be discovered and leaked very quickly if they were though.
I played the Witcher when it was released back in the day; I had heard some vaguely good things about it, and it seemed like something I would enjoy. I had no idea the card thing existed until I actually received one. I remember laughing at how silly it was. I felt it kinda fit within the kind of semi-serious adult theme of the game; "your mother sucks dwarven cock" etc. From what I recall, the second game was a bit more serious; never played the third one.

I think the cards had basically nothing to do with the game success, and judging from the comments here, it seems the first game wasn't even all that successful in the first place.

> "You keep missing the simple fact that GDPR is not about cookie consents. How many times do I have to repeat this?"

Fine. That's great: if GDPR is not about cookie consents then let's get rid of the damned pop-ups! If that means no more tracking cookies, then so be it. That's a good thing!

This is no different to the behaviour when a user clicks "reject non essential cookies" and also no different to what Apple already did with apps that accessed advertising tracking IDs on iOS. Facebook complained and lost a little money, but the world didn't end and the sky didn't fall. (iOS users can still choose to let apps track, but that UI is provided by the OS, not the app, and can be set globally).

> "makes legitimate cases for asking for user consent illegal"

I'm not at all suggesting that consent shouldn't still be asked for in situations where it's legitimate, like storing actual user personal data that they provide when signing up for an account, for example.

But simply visiting a website should not be considered a legitimate reason to obtain or store a user's data. Therefore there is no reason to ask for consent, and the practice should be banned.

There are some technical pitfalls of USB-C too. Solvable but still present.

Probably the biggest thing people don't think about is how rare USB-C hubs are. I don't mean the ones that adapt to other ports (if you thought of that first, it illustrates my point), I mean one that takes one USB-C and gives you more. For years after 2016, the chip to make this simply didn't exist. Even now, it's expensive. For this reason, it actually makes sense to use USB-A accessories even if your PCs take -C, cause you can always get more -A ports for cheap. So companies still make -A accessories, and even a lot of -C ones tend to come with an A-to-C cable in the box (and no -C to -C cable!).

Non-tech people tend to understand these things without knowing it. They see new port, they say no.
