This has only been bested by the 4chan takedown of the Shia LaBeouf's anti-trump flag, which was put up in a random location with a live stream.

"On March 8, the artists, abandoning the idea of a public webcam, raised a white flag, emblazoned with the words “He Will Not Divide Us,” in an “unknown location.” The livestream showed only the flag and the expanse of sky behind it. 4Chan and 8Chan (the forum where discussions that are banned from 4Chan go) snapped into action.... They used the star patterns visible behind the flag at night and the paths of planes flying overhead to confirm the location. A troll who lived nearby drove around honking until the noise was audible on the livestream. On the night of March 10, a group raided the site, took down the flag, and replaced it with a Pepe the Frog T-shirt and a “Make America Great Again” hat. The stream soon went dark again."
That's a factor. But the bigger factor is it's harder to freemium an RTS without destroying the game.

The fun of RTSes is the learning curve, but throw in a bunch of "you can buy a special unit for $10" and all the sudden the game balancing is destroyed. That leaves you with inconsequential things like avatar skins to sell and very few people would buy those.

Couple that with the fact that new players aren't likely to spend hours online playing the game (because they get destroyed) and you've got a major problem.

For me, the fun of RTSes was in single player games and lan parties.
I think they're actually asking for the other way around; they want nixpkgs packages that are as light on disk space as alpine, which probably needs some config tweaks (which nix lends itself to) and possibly using musl (which I think you just do with an overlay? I know it's doable, but I'm not familiar)
> how does a tuple differ from a list and a dictionary in python

> A tuple is an immutable data structure in Python that stores key-value pairs. It is similar to a list, but it does not allow for any changes after it has been created. Tuples are represented by and lists by [].

This is not the whole answer given (it talks about dictionaries as well), but it's missing a few things that could be useful:

* It doesn't actually say what tuples are represented by (the characters seem to be stripped out)

* It doesn't show examples
Pypy uses its own JIT. This project does AOT with LLVM. They're not compatible.

MyPyC requires type annotations to work. This does not.
story games are still flourishing, but as console exclusives like Horizon zero dawn, god of war and (to some degree) Halo.

Luckily, most of the time you just to have wait about a year to get them on PC, often for a cheaper price too.

Also single player FPS games still exist, just not standalone as they used to.
I think you're wanting to honor him. I think there's a way to do that that also doesn't glamorize or encourage or increase the odds of future suicides. I found this post to be helpful:

Not all suicide is preventable, but some are. It's a noble and empowering reaction for people in pain to try to save others from the same pain.

> how to build a successful startup step by step

> Building a successful startup requires several steps. The first step is to identify a problem and solution that can be filled by your business idea. This will help you create a website that meets the needs of your target audience. You should also write a company plan, which is necessary for obtaining startup funding. Once you have identified a problem and solution, you can build an MVP . This should focus on the most crucial must-have features needed by your target market. It is important to involve potential customers in the building process and ask for their feedback. After building the MVP, it is time to launch it. If you have a large following or media attention, organizing a media launch with a presentable version of the product may be a good idea. However, most startups don't need to make a big deal out of their launch.

Which I think is also why the thread is so X-marks-the-spot / parallel-reconstruction-y. I think it's more of a "here's the kind of thing we can do with these star-matching tools, applied to an interesting image as an example" than an expose.

I'm not sure I agree with the level of adjustment being a negative here. The point they are making is that have adjusted for confounders ie. considered other covariates (all those listed) and the results still show their exposure (VILP) being associated with their outcome of interest (mortality). It's usually better to account/adjust for as many confounders as possible (happy to be corrected by someone on this!), especially those that are clinically relevant. Usually, more covariates in the model takes it towards the null so if there is still an effect estimate, it's likely to be a better association than using crude values.

My issue with these studies from the UK Biobank though is that the wearable devices are only worn for up to 2 weeks or so, although the follow period is significantly longer in this study. For this study the "participants were required to have at least three valid monitoring days, with at least one of those days being a weekend day". Would be better to have a prospective cohort but good to see associations so further studies can investigate.

ADHD treatment is very ADHD unfriendly, just to stop people from using stimulants inappropriately.

I would like to see more research happen relating to ADHD and microdosing of psychedelics. Psychedelics can often have stimulant properties, without the tolerance curve and addictive properties of stimulants.
You're right, it wasn't too difficult to guess the location without the stars. The base did happen to be right in-between the 34 and 35 degree lines (34.6 lat), and you can estimate pretty well with only one line
Also the translation really depends on the corpus. EU legislation and such is big input. But I'm not sure how well that covers many other cases. Or prose for example.

Chinese/Korean->English is readable, but actually pretty horrid for artistic works. Not something you really want to read for pleasure.
Even with Arab gene flow, Muslim and Christian/Coptic Egyptians are very genetically similar, which shows how small Arab contribution to the Egyptian gene pool was. There is probably a bigger difference between Egyptians in the north vs south, and a much bigger difference between “city” Egyptians and Egyptians in the villages or desert. Across the Middle East, “city” people tend to be lighter, in part due to lifestyle but also often due to genetic differences (e.g. bedouins have genetic distinctions and don’t intermarry much with city folk).

Copts with lighter skin are a small minority among Egyptians with lighter skin in general. Not that it matters much, but this is interesting to me from an anthropological standpoint.
That is mind boggling to me. I don't know anyone that lives in the same state they grew up in. I live about 3,000 miles away from where I grew up. I have 7 siblings and none of us live in our home state (and none of us live in the same state as another one - we live in NY, CA, MI, TX, OR, OH, UT, CO - we grew up in FL).

Though, I remember that one of my brothers once lived in Pennsylvania and he met 2 women who had never left their county and were amazed that he lived in so many other places and wondered out loud if he had been scared to live in places other than where he lived right then in PA. The mind set that other places are scary to live in is so foreign to me.
Can't you do that in Google Maps?
> If we define “expect” as 50%+ odds then no, if we define it as “I can see how this could happen” then yes.

Nobody has ever defined or proposed defining "expect" as "I can see how this could happen" until just now. Not only does "expect" imply 50%+ odds, it implies something like 90%+ odds. It implies that you would be surprised if it didn't happen (because you were expecting it to happen).
"let's draw a line at 34 degrees" makes for a nice display, but presumably the actual filtering for matching bases spanned 34–35 degrees.

This depends so much on the situation. It might be a way to get things better, but it's also likely to leave a sour taste in your customer's mouth. They may know that Dev Bob was't responsible for the problem but IT Alice was, but what they'll internalize is that there was a problem with Bob and Alice that caused them pain, and they'll associate Bob and Alice both with that pain.

It's necessary where the relationship with IT becomes adversarial, often with IT that's less skilled, or more constrained by their management.

Where possible though a mutual beneficial relationship is best.

Where I work I have two laptops. One is my corporate laptop, less powerful but it can connect to our internal network. The other is my dev laptop, more powerful but it can only connect to Internet and our dev network. I can install whatever I need on the dev laptop, as long as I a) keep a running log of installed software and update IT when that changes, b) regularly check NVDB for the software I have installed and apply mitigations as needed, c) keep versions updated to current versions where possible (and never to versions that have known vulns).
Thanks for the example. We'll take a look.

Not sure if serious... COBOL was one of the earliest 3rd gen programming languages. Back then no one had a clue what high-level programming would ultimately look like, so "make it read kinda like English" was a nice first try at the problem.

(There were also highly pragmatic reasons behind that, such as the paucity of common symbols in the non-standard character sets that were used back then. This shows up in other early languages, but nowhere so clearly as in COBOL.)

Nowadays we know that the "low code" paradigm does not help beyond absolutely trivial examples. In particular it does not make the resulting artifacts easier to audit or survey, rather the opposite.
What percentage of that 300M do you believe went to cost?

According to the article they generated roughly the same amount of revenue in 4 months as the previous record breaking game did in an entire year. I wish I had that kind of reputation damage.
Right, public transport is also usually slower.

My point is that cutting ticket prices isn't going to make people suddenly use public transport because it's not an affordability issue.
How's the experience of developing in F# for .NET Core? When I look into .NET C# code, it relies heavily on dependency injection and magic imports. This seems to be completely the opposite of what you would want in a functional language.

Are there good solutions for this already provided? Is it a non-issue?
Kinda like when a government program says they consulted the bar society or the privacy commissioner before going ahead with it.

But if you read their reports, it’s all “no, no, no, no way!!!!!!”

A lot of “consultations” are really “inform/get informed, and ignore it all and do what you were going to do all along anyway”.

But you can check the box to say you did your consultations.
You really got me. I invented the word crypto and I'm the one trying to make those solutions illegal. Also, I'm Satoshi!!

I think that low code has some promising application areas, just not building operational systems;
1. As a requirements gathering (business prototype?) tool (the outcome is a spec used to develop the real system).
2. As a 'leverage' tool to magnify experienced coders time.
3. As a 'partial' core in an operational system written by coders (the business engine), but that's just rules based and has been around for ages.

Drag and dropping boxes with arrows for a fully operational system? yeah haven't we already being trying this for decades, quite unsuccessfully? I'm more intrigued by the idea of using AI to generate acceptable boilerplate crap (eg CRUD crap) and still think very high level languages has potential (small, focused DSL).

A lot of frustrated, abused coders here in the threads, I feel it to.
Look up the fair use doctrine. You can reproduce parts of content.
My first "desktop publishing" experience was using troff on Unix and sending output to the university's phototypsetter. Then, in the second half of the 1980s, I worked at a Fortune 200 company in the team rolling out PCs and networks across the company's many locations.

At the time, the basic choice was the HP laserjet with optional font cartridges (which were very expensive as I recall, something like $200 each in 1980s dollars), or the Apple laserwriter which was something like $4K if I recall correctly, but had Postscript built in, so no need for hardware font cartridges.

So as a result, the HP hardware got rolled out to most offices where mostly what was needed was to print memos in default monospace font, while to make a nice looking newsletter, flyer, or brochure, you had to travel to headquarters to use the Apple printer.

Impressive.

Now do it without using a computer, the old fashioned way, with books, paper maps, star charts, slide rulers, sextants, compasses, and pens. I'm sure some people would be able to.
Well, that's what these language models do in a nutshell. If you think social media and blogs are bad in terms of misinformation, this is the same thing rehashed by a machine that can not actually think or judge for itself (which to be fair, is arguably almost on a level already with how some humans interact with information they consume online).

I asked some controversial questions and the answers are interesting to say the least. The source is often reddit, random sites that are probably the top search engine result or some yellow press outlet.
The process can still be done using entirely the star pattern and no Google Maps. There wasn't any reason to exclude other information I could use, so I didn't.
>In my experience, moving is related to aspiration.

And where you grew up. I grew up somewhere that aspirants move to. So I never left because why would I bother? As the US becomes more urbanized, people are going to have less of a reason to move to places with more opportunity because they're already in places that have opportunity.
>>Locality of behavior is important.

Even your own link talks about the Subjectivity of that opinion, and how LoB is often in conflict with DRY and SoC, both of which I support far more than LoB.

In this context systemd favors Separation of Concerns, the the service is what is being run, and the timer is when is it being run...

it is not that the devs do not "seem to understand why locality of behavior would be desirable" it is they disagree that is more desirable than having a logical separation of concerns...

To me I prefer greater separation of concern than locality
DMA (Direct Memory Access) is the keyword.

A little fantastical to imagine well-meaning people with zero experience of work are going to fix places that nobody else managed to but hope springs eternal, I guess.
That's true, and somewhat related of what I think about nostalgia.

Sometimes it's not that they lost the touch or that they sold themselves. It's just that we're not teenagers anymore, in an old internet cafe playing on LAN with our friends. Even if a similar game is coming back, the entire moment with all its context is not.

Still, I'm happy to see they're still alive and faithful to their roots.
It's much faster now :)

“Code looks the same” means your experts will forever be forced to wade through the same awful boilerplate as your beginners. There’s no payoff for learning more, and no way to improve their work (apart from code generation, which I strongly endorse here).
This is one of those things where I might care if I didn't think the games industry was doomed either way. Why is it doomed? Because of pay-to-win, microtransactions and in-app purchases.

There's just so much money to be made with mobile games. Diablo Immortal probably cost almost nothing to make and will probably make over $1 billion when all is said and done. How can a games company ignore that?

This is getting to the point where it requires government intervention. Virtual currencies, randomness (eg loot boxes) and obfuscated outcomes all combine to hidehow much real money things cost and how much you're spending. It's predatory in exactly the same way slots are.

Until that happens, games are going to just be sports franchises, shooters and mobile games with a handful of exception that are mostly longstanding franchises.

If you're looking for clinical trials and emerging hearing loss treatments currently being studied and tested, you might look into FX-322. [0] is an MIT article discussing this "regenerative therapy" drug and the company developing it. [1] is a currently active trial (not currently recruiting). [2] are all of the FX-322 trials listed by the NIH. You may have to do some additional digging to find their results, but from what I remember, results were potentially hopeful.

Also important to note that current studies on this are also not targeted at tinnitus, and depending on the cause of one's tinnitus, this type of therapy may very well do nothing to help. Something to maybe keep an eye on though, and maybe even talk to your medical professional should they conduct any additional trials.

>“I’m old fashioned. I like to be able to see my money,” Mr. Kvendru said. “With brick-and-mortar banks, you have that feeling that it’s not going anywhere.”

I haven't been inside a bank since 1997, when I opened an account with USAA. Since then I've moved on to other online-only banks.

Since 1997 I've had mortgages, personal loans, home equity loans, multiple car loans, credit cards, CDs, and a myriad other banking and investment services and never been face to face with a bank employee.

The only time I ever even slightly thought about physical banks was when I started wanting ‎Sacagawea dollars to pay at neighborhood lemonade stands (I used to love getting Kennedy half-dollars at my childhood stand, but inflation's a bitch...).

The very, extremely, low premium I pay to order Sacagawea dollars from the Mint is more than offset by the 3% I get on my savings account by not using a brick-and-mortar bank.

What are people doing in those bank buildings?

I do not understand.
Also it is very difficult to assess someone's coding qualifications in an interview -- I feel like more difficult compared to other roles, although I'm interested in opposing opinions -- especially if the person doing the assessing isn't a coder themselves, but honestly either way.
I am one of those FOSS people. I was all in on Apple up until about 6 months ago (iPhone 13, 13" M1 MBP, AirPods, an iCloud+ sub and some peripherals). My wife still is.

The main reasons I left are repairability and upgradability; forms of freedom that you simply cannot deny Apple isn't great at, from design all the way up to policy. Privacy was also a reason. It is true that you have to place trust somewhere up the chain when it comes to the way specific software handles your data, but things like where it is stored and how it is encrypted are in your own hands when you DIY.

These things are not theoretical; if I want to use a different Wi-Fi adapter, a new SSD, RAM, a replacement screen, speakers or barrel jack then I can. There are parts available for very reasonable prices as well as the manufacturers' repair manual. It doesn't require solvents or esoteric tools.

Now I use a business notebook with Linux that is worse than the M1 in some respects, but in hindsight I'm willing to give up the battery life and cool runnings for the ability to repair and upgrade (and ports! Ethernet, yay!). Same goes for the phone (I went for a FairPhone).

It isn't as polished, very true. There's some rough edges and it takes a little more work, and yes, sometimes a bit of frustration. But the upside is tangible, it's not some form of feigned nobility.
