The past ten years have been good for single player FPS games though, I don’t know how anyone could think the genre is dead.

New Wolfenstein and Doom games, yearly call of duty, halo infinite, Titanfall 2, half life alyx, super hot, metro exodus, black mesa, destiny 2, deep rock galactic, the list goes on.
Elden ring and Horizon Zero Dawn are amazing solo player games. I don’t wanna play pvp multiplayer. I like Co-Op multiplayer with my buddies. Elden Ring with full game co-op would be amazing. I’d buy all the DLC they could release in a heartbeat.

The problem is, at least for many societies, that we don't operate on "you get to choose, but you have to live with the consequences". If you choose not to get vaccinated because you want to avoid becoming a walking 5g transmitter programmed by Bill Gates, and you get sick and need emergency care, you're not going to be denied because you made the choice and knew the risk, which has implications for everyone else, because emergency care is limited etc etc.

See the Strong Towns article "The Growth Ponzi Scheme" [1] and the ASCE Infrastructure Report Card for more concrete data [2].

The gist is that we've funded the construction of our infrastructure nationwide without accounting for the cost of maintenance. Now after decades of neglect, the cost of fixing all of our infrastructure is astronomical, far worse than if we had been doing it correctly from the beginning.

systemd was inspired by launchd (http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html), and that does that (https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Ma...), so they must have explicitly made that choice.

Unvaccinated decided that their beliefs that are contradictory to public health interests are more important than public health interests. Public decided that it is not interested in having those people participate in public life. Shocking.

Well this obviously relates to people who don't vaccinate out of ideology.
You're probably right; I don't remember the details.

What I do remember was parallelism being dodgy, several team members looking at it until one added an exclamation mark and solved the problem.

This was F#3 in a legacy project, some five years ago. I bet lot of things have changed since.
I have moved quite a bit myself and honestly still miss 'home'. Hopefully soon I'll stay somewhere for the rest of my life, or a good chunk of it, so I can be 'home' again. My wifes a researcher and we follow the academic positions so I probably have another 3 or 4 locations to live in first (:

There are a lot of perks of having that stable community feeling around you.
Features that the new compiler has which the C++ implementation lacked:

* The ability to translate C code into Zig

* A caching system

* A Mach-O linker, ELF linker, COFF linker, and WebAssembly linker

* Logic to build musl libc, mingw-w64 libc, and (dynamic) glibc from source, as well as libunwind, libc++, libc++abi

* Liveness analysis

* A documentation generation system (Autodoc)

* An x86_64 backend, aarch64 backend, WebAssembly backend, RISCV-64 backend, arm backend, SPIR-V backend, and C backend
Eh we all know Trump uses toilet paper with the US Constitution printed on it. I doubt that is what prompted him to being of the mind that his whims are more important than democracy or the US Constitution. Release of those "files" only led him to repeat what he has said/implied on multiple occasions in the past, including encouraging the Jan 6 coup attempt.
For the sake of conversation; what happens if it can’t be proven that SBF engaged in fraud? Can criminal charges for negligence be brought forth? I’d imagine there’s a ton of civili liability in this whole mess.
Why not provide either hex editor or wasm as options. Let the user choose. The former is not trendy, it's time-tested and has no ties to a commercial entity or the online advertising "business". Whereas the later has only been around since 2015 and was introduced by a company that subsists off an agreement with a deviant online advertising company. Not to mention it targets "the web", which is only one use for computer programming, and one that is overwhelmingly under the control of a handful of large corporations.
You can, but S3 has a special place in my heart as I worked there. I know a lot of the deep details.

I wish it was cheaper, but I can leverage it well.
This is cool.

I'm surprised that compiling a partial Zig backend to WASM and then compressing that ends up meaningfully smaller than compiling to C and compressing the C, when you include also the C partial WASM implementation and zstd decoder. This sounds kind of like a general strategy for compressing C code which I would not have expected to work well, but cool that it does!

If AndyKelley ends up reading this - did you end up doing a direct comparison of "zig1.c.zstd + zstd.c" size vs the "zig1.wasm.zstd + zstd.c + wasm.c.zstd" set that you ended up with? If so, how did it turn out?

Is it true that tech companies are doing poorly or is it something else, like the free money is nowhere around and tech companies are now expected to actually make money like a traditional company?

The story seems about the same everywhere: When money was pouring and people were spending more time on their devices than usual, the projection was that people will just resign from the physical world and live in VR so hire as many people as possible but that projection looks silly now.
While I don't disagree, companies don't get points if their monopolies are home grown vs acquired. Xbox arguably doesn't have the same level of compelling exclusives that Playstation does. The FTC saying this will harm competition feels disingenuous.
Aside from the other replies, they are degrading in terms of "living experience" - infrastructure, budgets, HOAs and whatnot. The infrastructure is being subsidised by dense cities, as there's simply too much street/pipe/wire per capita to support. So you either get prohibitive taxes, unsustainable budgets or subsidies from some level of government. Either way, they're not heading in a good direction.

> When I was growing up I always thought this was kind of a sign of, like, giving up, so I'm surprised the numbers are so high. I guess not everyone was thinking the same way.

It’s possible that they just gave up earlier than you did. Many people where I grew up never put any effort into anything because they had resolved themselves to being helpless.

If we’re talking about macs, what you’re looking for is munki + AutoPkg. There are community supported recipes for pretty much everything out there, and for light touch management you can set the munki policy as a “managed update” - that is, munki will keep it updated if it finds it, but there’s no forced install or locking down.
As it happens, I'm also on a Unifi AP, so that's curious. Would not hesitate to assign blame there... Although, I have long since abandoned their automatic firmware updates which has really helped with stability, so I'm not sure what would've changed on the AP _recently_.
I swear I really wish there were a way to output an entire OS's "diff" from default settings. Every preference pane, every terminal setting, every changed system file.

So that you could both discover, in cases like this, what's changed -- but also simply so you could export your settings in a space-efficient way and (selectively) re-import on a new OS install.

Moving for a job has a huge social cost for most people. You leave behind everyone you know.

There is a trade off to never putting down roots.

Not surprising, airplane wifi has always been ridiculously insecure.

Back in the day, when it was first rolling out, you could (theoretically ofc) join the plane's network and scan for MAC addresses, then clone someone else's for free access.

I think the authentication is a bit more sophisticated these days, but it's clear that these providers treat security as an afterthought. At least the one in the article had a bug bounty program and responded quickly, I guess.

Unrelated, I think it's funny that the AI artist put a little picture of a house on the airplane's interior wall in the article's header image. Maybe plane trips would be more bearable if the cabins didn't look like a utopian abbatoir's waiting room.
I split my childhood between three places, and my adult life between four, many in different countries. The wife and I are planning to move again next year.

It's sometimes hard when you see others with their consistent lives, and roots laid down, but at the same time they'll often say how they envy you.

It's similar to the choice of having or not having kids. The trade off in life experiences is neither better or worse, just different.

gcc bootstraps using itself. Rust bootstraps using itself. Go bootstraps using itself. D bootstraps using itself. Zig bootstraps using itself. It seems pretty common :)
Information is important, but this post didn't have enough technical information about how to tell if this is your problem. How many people would say they haven't experienced “slow internet connection” or “drops in Zoom calls”? “entirely losing a WiFi connection” is less common but does that mean “it happened once and then it came back” or something like the hell you're describing.

That's important for the reasons the person you're responding to mentioned. I too have seen many problems caused by this kind of thing where someone had something they didn't like, made a ton of low-level config changes based on random blog posts, and then forgot about that when it broke something else.
Triathlon is an expensive sport, especially at the Ironman level. You need a lot of free time to train for three different sports. Pool time adds up, and so do gym memberships. While you can use any bicycle, when you're pushing yourself to the very limits of your ability, you'll need any advantage you can take. Bicycle prices go up very quickly to shave weight. Many will require coaching to reach that extreme level of fitness.

Ironman triathletes are well aware that it's a sport for wealthy people. The Ironman magazine ads feature luxury cars and watches. They know their target demographic.

I was proud to complete Ironman, but it took up 100% of my life for close to two years. Compared to that my yearly marathon is dirt cheap: a few hundred bucks for shoes, plus another hundred or so for the race.
I'm in Canada, near Vancouver. It's mostly back to normal now, but for a long time:

* couldn't fly/take a train/take a ferry

Still can't:

* Visit my grandparents at their retirement home

* Visit the USA

The general opinion as that you should be vaccinated, but it mostly doesn't come up now. The government is currently passing legislation so they can better mandate vaccination to medical professionals as well as suppress dissenting opinions by those professionals.

Based on the words and actions of the federal government, i've definitely felt like a second class citizen.
At least here in Spain Google Maps warns of speed cameras and has options for reporting police/congestion, etc. It’s just little icons on the map, though, and it doesn’t actually audible warn you of upcoming cameras.

Not GP but locally there are a few exurbs that have serious budget problems because they overbuilt infrastructure and don't have the tax base to fully maintain it which creates a feedback loop of poorly maintained roads, water systems, parks, etc.

Some of it had to do with the murder of brick and mortar retail in tightly packed downtowns in favor of the big box stores on the edge of town. That creates an enormous waste in municipal resources, doubly so if the store got property/sales tax subsidies.

This is less of an issue in the denser near suburbs where populations and revenues have been consistently rising the last few years.

How would it even come to be known? If I was allergic to a vaccine and someone asked me about my vaccines I would say "I have taken every vaccine I am able to" or something like that.

Exclusion of the willingly unvaccinated is possible and widespread mainly because such people are surprisingly vocal and bring up the topic without prompting.
Top 1% of income isn't middle class.

> TCI, who do not actually run the business, are threatening the CEO (addressed to Sundar) that they will move their money if Google doesn't do what they say - namely cut costs etc...

What does "move their money" technically mean in this situation? Google is not a bank, they don't keep TCI's money. Is this a threat of tanking the stock price by selling all $6B at once? TCI would hurt themselves too if they do that.

This article here deserves attention because its interesting and counter-intuitive even if you don't use Zig. It's a story of problem solving.
I absolutely agree with what you're saying. I'm not saying that those things are measures of productivity, or that they're disqualifying. I'm saying, there's part of a holistic understanding of work ethic... (which is a different thing than productivity). If someone is goofing off occasionally, but delivers their work, that's a good thing. Having a healthy amount of goofing off is not only not a problem, it's part of a healthy work environment.

But, over my career I have literally seen egregious instances where someone, habitually, up against a deadline shows up to work late, sits down in their cube, puts on a gaming headset and plays an MMORPG for a few hours, then shows up to the standup and says they need more time to get their work done. These situations are something that even the most Theory Y manager would need to address.

Luckily I now work in workplaces where I have the luxury of hiring people with a track record of success, but in places where many hires might not be aware of commonly accepted workplace expectations, these things do happen. That doesn't mean you should treat everyone like children, as you say, but it does mean you need to be aware of your employee's attitudes and expectations.
I think that's reasonable. It's a shame this viewpoint was almost totally absent from the discussion over the last few years. Incredibly disappointing.

You're not understanding my point.

Shouting people down, restricting their movements, trying to put them out of a job etc. is abusive behaviour.

It works if the force is sufficient enough. That doesn't make it right.
This reminds me of a story about African farmers I once heard. NGOs and various philanthropic organizations have been notorious for having a superficial comprehension of what is actually needed to improve the lives of people in the so-called third world. We have the examples of the Nigerian or Tanzanian textile industries being severely hurt by the flooding of the market with mitumba[0] or the destruction of local shoe industry by Toms or even the impoverishment of Haitian agriculture through the distribution of free rice long after a crisis has passed, for that matter. But then you have cases where a piece of machinery breaks, and no one has the expertise to repair it, so the thing in question (a tractor, a well) is just abandoned and things go back to what they were. Technology lives in an ecosystem of expertise, supply chains, and other cultural features. Indeed, technology is part of culture.

It’s frightening how easily the framing of a very individual risk assessment with collectivist “do the right thing for everyone” messaging can prompt discriminatory attitudes. The threshold to trigger this herding behavior is far lower than I would have thought pre-pandemic, as is the ease with which fear engineering can enhance credulity and dismantle higher order thinking at scale. These triggers also reward a sense of complacency towards fundamental rights, and it seems likely more of these mass cognitive warfare experiments will be seen to intentionally probe for exploits of our current system.
TCI investors, among other people, are the literal owners of Alphabet. The CEO is an employee who takes direction from the owners.
It made sense at the time. We do not only support Node, but also have community Clients in Go, Python or Rust. Right now we are moving more and more parts from a Node-API library or binary engine (the two variants we support until now) over to Wasm modules where it is possible for our Node/TS/JS Client. Socket/TCP connections itself are unfortunately not supported yet, so this will only be partial. And maybe there is also a future where we support Node based databases drives. As this blog post we are commenting on shows, sometimes we have to combine the weirdest things together to achieve our goal.

I don’t see how you would consider Destiny a single player FPS?
I get kind of why you could think this, but honestly I think it's far more important to leave your circle and experience something new as a young adult. It becomes increasingly difficult to move as you age, the longer you stay tied to your familiar environment that you were raised in, the harder it is to take the plunge and explore something different.

I am the only person in my direct family that lives outside of the county (very rural) or neighboring county that I grew up in. I really absolutely cannot fathom living my (probably) only life worrying about social cohesion or economic value of society. I live like 2500 miles from my family, and it used to be a lot further (I lived in east Asia for a while). Despite the distance, technology has allowed for me to keep in close contact with my family.

Taking the chance to explore new cultures and really immerse myself in them, and also live through the crazy Bay Area tech bubble before deciding it wasn't for me, really has provided a lot of excellent life experiences and perspectives. I wouldn't trade these opportunities for anything and strongly encourage younger people to try and leave the nest, at least for a bit, while it's still easy to do so and before they have to decide on things like staying near their parents once they become elderly.
