If you want to rail at wasted time, there are much better targets out there. Try corporate tax accountants, or insurance salesmen, or fossil fuel PR goons; people actively destroying value.

We have PFAs in the rain; plastic on Mt. Everest and the Mariana Trench. We have a warming planet alongside proxy oil wars. You want to solve those problems by looking at addictive computer games? Really? Not even reality TV, or corporate media monopolies - games? ..... I think your high horse is pretty sickly looking tbh.
Intro page needs to be more of a sales page. "This series is your introduction to the simple equations that can produce images like <image>, <complicated Lissajou image>, <beautiful image>, and more!" Not "Let me start by regretting that I didn't care enough to make this a book, and then show how to draw a straight line." I only clicked another chapter heading because of the HN endorsement.

Yup, I'm aware of reserved instances (from an AWS PoV) but I always assumed they were, at least theoretically, well, reserved!
Why not run them elsewhere?

There’s lots of providers apart from AWS/Azure/GCP.

Self hosting can often be cheaper and more available and probably faster than using a cloud.

Get in touch with your CSAM. They will be able to get you assigned a capacity manager, if you don't already have one assigned.

It is the function of the capacity manager to help you plan ahead based on what the data center capacities look like going into the future.

Meet monthly with your capacity manager. Get representation across different technology interests - database, compute, storage, event hubs, etc. Don't ever skip these meetings.
Probably a good idea to critique the paper, not the press release. I haven't read it but for all you know they could have discussed this at length.
Let's see, I just looked that up before. Let us for simplicity assume that in every step only one bit of state gets accessed, this will only be wrong by some constant factor. With that running a Turing machine for at most n steps will ensure that it does not use more than n bit of memory, therefore solving the halting problem for a machine with n bit is at least as hard as answering the question whether a Turing machine halts within n steps. This is in EXPTIME [1][2] given that the input n is encoded in log(n) bit. So that seems a lot less worse then at first sight, but on the other hand this uses a terrible bound for the number of steps.

My most important overhaul for our business was abstracting over payments and ensuring we weren’t dependent on any one processor for online checkouts. It doesn’t matter who you are with or how flexible they are, sooner or later, for logistical, account, network, or other issues, if you have only one payment provider it is going to be unavailable and you’re going to be losing money.

If you’re on the .NET stack, our abstraction [0] is over PayPal, PayPal credit card, Stripe, ChargeBee, CoinBase, Amazon Payments, and other providers that have since been replaced with no-op exceptions because the payment processors have gone under.

I could be wrong, but maybe Linux users are more persistent (by necessity), and thus more likely to file bug reports, where your average Windows user is more likely to just go "F this" and stop playing your game.
Reading these comments it looks like everyone runs into this all the time. As a counterpoint: never run into this on Azure, scaling up/down 20-30 vm's a day. Hope it stays that way...

No no, that would be Microsoft around '99. Apple is just trying to do the same as microsoft did over 20 years ago.

SGI and microsoft were in api-war between OpenGL and Direct3D (and the boids examples ha!). They started a collaboration to create 'Fahrenheit' (lowlevel) and Fahrenheit (XSG) Extensible Scene Graph. Microsoft was sandbagging, and simply working on Direct3D, bc of opportunity. Bc microsoft was still evil back then bc they had more power.

As far as I always understood, is that OpenGL and whatever was left of Fahrenheit and the coop became the Khronos group.

This statement makes a huge assumption, that the DoH provider is more trustworthy than your existing DNS provider. Personally, I trust my ISP (Small, locally owned) with my query history than I trust Google (Massive, exploitative advertising company). The fact that Google is automatically turning this on to scoop up DNS information without users consent should be illegal.

It'd be nice to add a `tabindex` value and add a `:focus` part to the tooltip CSS to make it appear for users navigating via their keyboard rather than mouse. If you look up 'accessible tooltips' there might be a few other tips.
Those 1000+ hours are dwarfed by the hours my grandmother spend on her jigsaw puzzles. Also I think most people play games as a form of relaxation, time which someone would not spend on solving urgent issues.

Wow.

It’s crazy that this could be valid advice, but it is.
Craigslist explicitly tells people selling on it to avoid accepting online payments (like, PayPal) and only work with cash because the online payments are reversible and sellers constantly get scammed. You have to remember that transactions involve two parties, and it isn't somehow always the case that only the ones on one side matter.

The power balance simply isn't always "seller who is selling a large quantity of easily-replaceable items that might be a dud can easily amortize the cost of fraud across all of their payments by high margins"... sometimes it really is "seller who is selling a small quantity of expensive or precious items tends to get scammed by anonymous buyers who abuse chargebacks ".
People are responding to this comment by saying "Screenshots work," and yes, they do, somewhat. However, you're limited to using the screenshot tool built in to your Wayland compositor, rather than any third-party tool. For example, my favorite screenshot tool supports automatic timed screenshots, of particular windows or the whole screen or of a specified region, of one desktop or several, and various customizations. Those features aren't supported by my compositor, and I don't have a choice. So Wayland limits my options.

Another area missing functionality is remote desktop. Yes, most Wayland compositors support VNC or similar remote desktop, but without the functionality of previous solutions. For example, I used x11vnc extensively: with it, I can share just one window or a whole screen, with various security options, and I can do so programmatically from the command line. Because VNC is now a feature built into the compositor, I no longer have a choice which remote desktop tool to use, and adding features is not a priority for maintainers of the compositors.

So, while, yes technically, you're right that some analogues of screenshots and remote desktop exist on Wayland, they do so without any of the modularity and flexibility that Linux is (allegedly) proud of.
For a large operation it is complicated. The profit maximizing strategy starts to become more entwined with interest rates and taking out loans with properties as collateral. The price of your rent can be higher than the market rates on housing because housing is more or less a byproduct of a financial services scheme.
How exactly does that help? We had a customer who told the payment processor he's going to be selling X. They were told it's perfectly fine. After a month, payment processor told the customer they found they're selling X and can't sell X using their service.

Due diligence, lol. In fact, the world is just a huge mess, and you have to have backup plans for all the important things in your business, or not care for downtime.
ActivityPub is Web native, open, modern (JSON-LD), and widely implemented. JSON-LD versus hacky JSON was critical, because it encourages better designs for extensions. And efforts at extending ActivtyPub and ActivityStreams are well under way.[1][2]

> A designer can’t just spend a few hours and do a meaningful contribution to badly designed UI design. But a developer can identify a bug, fix it and do a pull request even within minutes.

And herein lies the fallacy.

No, good (UX) design is not at all more complex than writing software itself.

What software developers have (mostly) figured out is a way to do small, piecemal improvements to their software that iteratively take it to a desired future goal. There is a ton of material on iterative development, agile development and continuous delivery.

But designers keep living in this parallel reality where they can't think of small, iterative changes that help you get to an improved solution step-by-step.

I've been in a number of organizations with great designers, but it was rare I could get them to think about iterative design: design a first step towards a greater vision that is an improvement, but not the final solution.

Part of that is tooling. While things like Figma allow you to make your own workflow on an infinite whiteboard, they don't have any support for quickly designing in-between design/development steps.

But bigger part is thinking: the art of software development is a bit further down the line than the art of software UX design, and free software developers don't have the time to deal with designers unwilling to accept the reality of them having only small chunks of time to work on their pet projects.
Imagine if they did this in realtime. There's already DDOS attacks happening which are abusing the cloud free trials at scale - this would give them another attack vector.

This reminds me a bit of the debate about the blank slate, which presupposes that there’s one side who thinks human development is all nurture and another side that thinks it’s all nature. But actually only one of those sides exists. That is to say, there are people who think it is entirely nurture and who reject genetic explanations for behavior whenever they’re proposed, but there are no people who think it’s entirely genetics and who believe environment is never a factor.

That second group simply doesn’t exist. Every single person who believes genetics are a significant factor in life outcomes also believes that environment matters.

There is only one side that takes a hard line.

So it is here. There isn’t a side that thinks everything is environmental and a second side that thinks you can overcome anything with choices and hard work. The side that thinks choices and hard work matter also acknowledges that environment is very often a factor and that there may be situations that are insurmountable. It’s the other side that takes a hard line, that never acknowledges the role of choices, that always cowers from telling people that there are things they might do to improve their situation.

Of course life outcomes are a mix of nature and nurture. And of course (even though choices matter) there exist people who make all the right choices who nevertheless are held back by external factors. But believing what I just said entails admitting that choices do matter!
> How many good people were discouraged into going into this area of research because of this widespread belief that this pursuit is proven to be unachievable in the general case?

You need to read this book:

https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Computing-since-Democritus-Aa...

(The title notwithstanding, this book is about a lot more than just quantum computing. In particular, it is about computational complexity theory, which is exactly where your line of inquiry leads. It is a very productive area of research.)
> And your favorite shoplifting fact is down-right offensive. If you were more balanced in your counterargument you'd also ask the reader: What is the cost to the public for added security, staff, deterrence tech, and lost merch? And lost sense of safety and security? Those are priceless in the eyes of most reasonable people.

Sure, and the counterpoint is how much does it cost to provide those services publicly? The cost of catching, prosecuting and jailing the person is almost certainly more than the cost of the goods.

E.g. you chased off someone that stole $750 worth of goods. The average cost to incarcerate someone for a year is $31k. They will have cost the public more than $750 if they spend just 10 days in jail (which they definitely will if they don't post bail). If they spend 30 days in jail, which they could easily do just waiting for trial, it will have cost taxpayers ~$2,550 just to jail them. Add on the costs of hiring prosecutors, judges, public defenders, and more cops to do all the work here, and the public will have spent something like an order of magnitude more than the actual theft.

Theft is wrong, the thieves should be punished, but I don't know that the public spending huge sums to prevent low levels of theft is even worthwhile. The court system is about the most expensive deterrent I can think of.

If I were asked to vote on it, I'm sure not going to opt to spend an order of magnitude more trying to punish thieves. It sucks, but it would cost me less to just pay whatever markup the stores have to charge to cover the loss.
Ah yes, even more proof that no one clicks on anything that makes it to the front page.
Somewhat a precursor: "F.P.1 antwortet nicht" (F.P.1 Doesn't Answer), 1932. The film was shot in three versions, German, French, and English, each with distinctive lead actors. Hans Albers, lead actor of the German version, and director Karl Hartl then teamed up for "Gold". (Hartl filmed "Tunnel", another success, in-between these two.)

I think you should be able to use OP's site or the js-parsons library to make JS puzzles, if you're okay with "line-based feedback". To use Faded Parsons with JavaScript and test-based feedback, you'd need to decide the format of the tests, since JS doesn't have a built-in doctest module like Python. Once you did that, it should be straightforward enough to use it for JavaScript. Happy to help if you end up branching off my repo.
In this case, it’s likely that they have set up recurring SEPA debit payments. Changing the payment provider won’t keep the revenue coming in - it would require every customer to sign up for debit again. And when stripe figures out the mess, you need to consolidate the two providers or you’ll end up debiting twice.

The whole point appears to be that there IS a one size fits all set of design patterns once you've got the right "bounded contexts" and the right "ubiquitous language".

It doesn't have anything interesting to say about either one of those things though. The whole idea appears to be a set up for a bunch of design patterns.

Steam heated by boiling water at sea level can't exceed 100C, but if you further heat the gaseous steam (e.g. against a hot metal surface of some kind) you can heat it further. This is called superheating. Once it's superheated, it behaves just like any other gas - can be as hot as you like (until it chemically breaks down at extreme temperatures).

In an oven at 200C, for example, with a little bit of water, the water would evaporate/boil and the resulting steam would be heated to whatever temperature the oven is at. The oven would be full of superheated (dry) steam. It's a matter of heat transfer, if you drip only a small amount of water slowly into the oven, it won't cool down much but the atmosphere can still be entirely steam.
The "Options" documentation is still in French when I click "Create a Puzzle", that's why I didn't realize one could add blanks/menus.

Does he have children? Time for computer games dwindles if you have kids, except for the computer games you can play with your kids. :)

I think games are fine as long as you are living an otherwise full life. Games are only problematic if they are an opiate that prevent you from achieving goals outside of virtual entertainment. Games should not be a present day "soma" to paraphrase some words from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amusing_Ourselves_to_Death

Also 1000 hours for a game can be similar to how many hours of TV many watch in a year, at least games involve more active engagement and problem solving.
I can't shake the feeling that if these papers had all been rejected, they would have declared that they were being "deplatformed".

These journals exist to consider off-the-wall, wacky, outrageous ideas. It's not physics, where every new idea is first subjected to the ability to reproduce a long history of existing experiments. The question of how humans should think about their lives is entirely open, and any progress will almost necessarily question things that seem obvious.

That makes them easy prey for hoaxes. It also means that the vast majority of people take no notice and have no interest. Even when not being trolled, a lot of their ideas will go nowhere.

This is such a weirdly one-sided war. Most people have never heard of any of the journals being trolled. They have no influence. Some people seem to have decided that they are nonetheless a bitter enemy and count coup on defeating them. The postmodernists, meanwhile, do not not care and have no interest -- just as practically nobody cares about or has any interest in them.
People outside the US love it, so no issue with devaluing the USD if we print an extra couple of trillions.

The main issue is that the global supply chain cannot literally serve richer American consumers, so the cost of supply increases and everyone (in the US and out) faces inflation pressure.
