In this specific case, having useCallback makes the demo code more complex and is unrelated to the actual concept being demo'ed to the reader. It's unwise to add unnecessary complexity if it doesn't add clarity.

More generally, adding useCallback is even directionally wrong unless you know _exactly_ why you need it ("for identity" is OK, "for performance" is almost always misguided because the cost of creating a closure is negligible).
The regional model definitely doesn't make sense for video games given their non physical nature. At a continent/country level it does (because people too far away wouldn't be playing together because of latency).

Fighting games are a bit of an exception because historically they've been in person only, again because of latency. Modern rollback netcode has made this less of an issue though.

My first thought is that online communities should have their own teams, what game would HN play competitively?
I'm in a very densely populated area, and I'm watching a ton of formerly affordable housing being converted into luxury housing.

I've been told that building luxury housing would free up existing housing, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Developers and owners seem to be in a desperate race to convert their non-luxury properties into luxury housing, reducing the stock of affordable housing altogether.
Content creation is exceedingly difficult.

Content creators are typically a one-hit wonder. They usually move on and do other things in life.

And the shelf life of a one-hit wonder is so short. Technologies change, so the content needs to be updated. And content can easily be copied by other content creators.
It doesn't matter. Taking deposits and investments from US citizens and then buying a 10 million dollar home for your parents with money from that company without your customers' permission is going to bring charges from regulators or a law enforcement agency.

He can claim it was just a mistake and an accounting error if he wants, but the judge and jury will have final say if he goes to jail.
It's Bahamas, not the US. He could still be prosecuted here for crimes committed here.
The company purchases the shares from the market so you don't have to sell.

He wasn't arrested by the US government (or US state government), the Bahamas arrested him after the DOJ said they were pressing charges and likely to request extradition.

As for flight risk the Bahamas had previously confiscated his passport and he wasn't able to get himself smuggled out in the last 2 weeks so he doesn't appear hugely flighty, but then again knowing that he's being formally charged may change that.

We’re cynical because 100% of the announcements from the LLNL are essentially government propaganda.

People laugh at Russian TV, but to a lesser extent all western governments do the same kind of thing.

The LLNL has one job: research nuclear physics for maintaining the bomb stockpile without actually blowing any up in life fire tests.

Anything else they say is just there to make the public feel good about the billions being spent on weapons research.

There is zero — repeat — ZERO chance that the fusion approach used by LLNL will ever be used in any sort of energy production.

That’s not what their setup is for.

I think the point is more that you can't play without blizzard's consent. You can't just download the game and host your own server to play with your friends. If blizzard changes the rules (makes a patch) you need to play with the new rules. You can't host a server if the starcraft 2 servers are down (not that uncommon nowadays). If blizzard decides to stop the servers (or if it just goes under), you can't play anymore.

That's a very different relationship from NFL or MLB.

The destination is the same, but the speed is different.

The next 3 to 8 years will have a bunch of companies like Evernote: "They're still around? I thought they died a long time ago."
That article says he was scheduled to testify before the House ("Bankman-Fried is scheduled to appear at a House Financial Services Committee hearing on Tuesday that will focus on his company's collapse") while refusing to testify before the Senate.
He could not have stolen the deposits in the manner he did if this was on-chain and the users self-custodied.

> Madoff got 150 years in prison, and i dont see any reason why SBF would get any less.

I actually see one: SBF mostly mishandled unregulated magic beans on an unregulated exchange (FTX.com).

The unregulated magic beans on the regulated exchange FTX.US are still there, waiting for withdrawal, according to his tweets.

US customers weren’t even allowed to register on FTX.com, which was outside the US.

Anyway, he still kinda defrauded Sequoia and friends, who didn’t buy magic beans but actual shares of the FTX exchanges (not sure about whether .com, .us or both)! But maybe he still gets less than 150 years..
He didn't commingle accounts. He stole from customers to keep Alameda afloat. This is why the money never got converted into actual crypto, and why there are no assets: the money got used, by Alameda, in what must have been some truly cataclysmic trading.

It also sounds like alameda's job was to market make the FTX coin, which they presumably did with that money in part. And likely kept doing until they blew up.

He's a fraud. He knows he's a fraud, and his PR campaign is an attempt to prove he's not a fraud but instead just really really dumb and stuff. Because being dumb isn't illegal, but running a fraud is.
It was two typos in a row. Mysteriously missing "un"s, "il"s, "im"s, "in"s, "ir"s, "non"s and "not"s change the intended meaning to its opposite unintentionally. Happens to me all the time. Touchscreen kb?
Yeah, the point is this was much more than some accounting problems - looks like the intent (to defraud) was there as well. On a massive scale.
Though I assume that if the suspect is abroad and seemingly unwilling to travel to the US, the DOJ would likely try to secure their return early, vs a person of interest in the US, who would be told to not leave the country during the investigation.
Linux hasn’t really been a hobbyist operating system for years as anyone taking even a casual glance at a list of contributors would know but sure let’s all pretend FreeBSD is somehow relevant or properly maintained. That’s probably in the same universe where ZFS has a chance of being mainlined and isn’t heavily encumbered by Oracle owned patents.

Why people would contribute to this mess is beyond me but everyone is free to do what they want.

Are you being serious? What is your experience or background with SC2? Do you watch it or play it?

At any rate, the average game duration for GSL is 00:07:51. You can review the statistics here:

https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/Global_StarCraft_II_League...

Note that the statistics say 11 minutes, but that's 11 in-game minutes and since tournament games are played on "Fastest" mode with a 1.4 multiplier that translates to roughly 8 minutes.

If you want to see how actual tournament games are played, here is the most recent GSL playlist, which is considered the premier SC2 tournament:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo2fPnM8EiQyT0kicBS5C...

Feel free to breeze through any random game of your choice, most finish within 8 minutes, a lot of them finish within 6 minutes, and on rare occasion you get games that go 15 minutes or longer.
There is a lot of background on nuclear costs. From https://constructionphysics.substack.com/p/why-are-nuclear-p... & other sources, I've heard safety standards around radiation were set higher than ever proven necessary, and also ratchet up to obviate any cost gains per unit output.

There are a lot of people responsible because of things they did but also a lot of people responsible by being quite negligent.

Actually more than the people who perpetrated the fraud, I hope the people who casually let it happen while doing none of their job to prevent it… I hope those people see real consequences.

There are always going to be cheats and bullshitters, our first line of defense against them are the people who are supposed to be reasonable just saying “no” to the dude sucking at League during a pitch.
Friendly reminder that he could not have stolen the deposits in the manner he did if this was on-chain and the users self-custodied.

Yes, DEXs exist. Yes, you can self-custody on DEXs.
Bahamas said that they did it in response to a US extradition request. So, it seems like he's getting extradited.

It is an island, and it's not that hard to get on a boat and sail away. Carlos Ghosn was able to be smuggled out of Japan on an airplane while under house-arrest. I imagine Japan is much, MUCH, harder to be smuggled out of than the Bahamas :)
Ha. Game of Life? Nethack? Crypto puzzles? Obsfucated code competition?
Only time I've lost data with zfs was when i was first doing something supremely stupid, mostly as a dare to see if it would work.

I had recently upgraded my pool and had a bunch of old disks lying around so i fired them up in a new pool, 6x 4TB and 6x 8TB disks. I took the 4TB disks and set them in in a raid0 to get effectively 9x 8TB disks. Apparently doing this will work but you MUST make sure you properly wipe all of the newly raided disks of their old ZFS data or you can end up with ZFS trying to check that pool and breaking the mdadm superblocks.

After I properly zeroed the 4TB disks it's been working fine for weeks. This let me set it up a pool in raidz3 with them all so i can loose any of the much older 4tb disks or up to 3 of the 8tb ones. I don't use it for anything that's absolutely critical to store, just random bulk data that i don't want to worry that much about, but it's been reliable enough since then.

> Pulling an all-nighter to get that report done doesn't scale

It not only doesn't scale - you develop a resistance. Because you managed to pull it off with that all-nighter, next time you won't leave it for the last 12 hours, but the last 8 hours instead. If you still manage to do it, then next time you won't be able to get to it until it's 6 hours till the deadline. And at some point you start to fail. At the beginning it's not a big deal, as you were always delivering and everybody fails sometimes - but that only makes you even more resistant and eventually, it becomes the norm. You fail hard.

Of course this is simplified a lot - it's not "next time", it may happen over the course of several years, get better and worse periodically, etc. But that's the trend anyway.
Specifically they said that they arrested him because the US notified them they were pressing charges and likely to request extradition. I imagine that the 'likely to request extradition' is specific phrasing related to how the extradition treaty with the US is worded as I don't think anyone expects the request to not be made.
Clojure is an extremely fine piece of engineering, and was quite a breath of fresh air at the time of its introduction. It allows you to run stuff on the JavaVM, which was everywhere back then (still is, actually), and in the browser via JavaScript. Hickey made it happen out of thin air. That's why I take him seriously.

By the way, "complect" is an actual word.

SBF's public conduct over the past weeks, and alleged conduct over the past years, reinforces an image of unintelligence. Be it genuine stupidity, stimulants or both, he isn't top-of-the-doghouse material. (Granted, easy to say ex post facto.)

The elephants in the room are Binance and Tether, together with certain high-profile investors. Taking some of these out could likely be worth a plea bargain. (For optics, he has to go to jail. But sending him to jail for a long time while letting the others go free for lack of evidence is a bad trade.)
Yes, same here. I'd love an open source Power BI alternative.

I need to screenshot a better example. That one barely has actual spaces. I mean, when there's more code, it's not confusing (after 1 or 2 minutes :), because the actual space is 3.25 times wider than the left padding of the capital case letters.
I'm willing to bet that if you generate roughly the same data as your peers, you're invisible, but if you generate NO data at all, you become worthy of checking into, as either the algorithm has no ability to correctly record your data or you are working very hard to hide yourself from the system, possibly for nefarious reasons, and therefore need to be monitored just in case.

Squeaky wheels get the grease and squeaky nails get the hammer, but silence in a noisy forest is alarming.

When I encounter the term "engineer", I take it to mean someone who, if they screw up, people die.

I know a "Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer" is a thing that exists, but it seems to me rather a contradiction in terms, suggestive as it is of an engineer who is expected or even required to make mistakes.

Yeah but that was a very shitty prediction. It appears the charges filed were by SDNY which if anything is known for being anti-Trump. Essentially a bunch of democrat appointed attorneys arrested him.

Don't know details of Binance, Tether or others. But at this point, it would be prudent to pull all except your in-play trading chips off the table into self-custody no matter what exchange you are using, until this whole kerfluffle is sorted out.

I wonder how crypto exchanges can guarantee non-hypothecation of customer funds in a DeFi trustless manner. The methods I've heard about still are tradfi-style centralized mechanisms that can still be subverted, and do not leverage crypto currency's strengths, though I'd sure like to be pointed to any exchange that has really figured this aspect out.
It could have a binary format option (in addition to those formats listed). But also many kinds of apps don't need heavily compressed/compact data transfers. The "old" way won't go away, just have an alternative.

Double-jeopardy applies once the charges have been resolved, such as when a verdict has been reached, charges dismissed with prejudice (whether voluntarily by the prosecutor or unilaterally by the judge), a plea deal has been accepted, or if the speedy trial window has passed.

The last bit is why prosecutors wait to try defendants in complex cases.

(Note that there is no right to speedy sentencing...any time spent in jail/prison after conviction but before sentencing is credited against the incarceration sentence.)
Sam Bankman-Fried, FTX’s founder, is arrested in the Bahamas
Just more to the point. The MLB has that weird monopoly in the US only, but there are no shortage of leagues outside of the US. The same can't be said about fortnite, starcraft, counter strike, etc. Those are world wide monopolies (it's their IP).
There's no bail here.

Bail is a US thing for: when you're arrested and charged with a crime, you're not necessarily going to sit in jail until trial. You are either let go or you pay money (bail) to decrease the chance you'll flee. If you can't pay bail or bail is refused by the judge, you sit in jail.

SBF hasn't been charged yet. Bahamas arrested him for the sole purpose of preventing him from fleeing because U.S. indicated that they'll charge him and will want to extradite him to U.S.

I don't know if Bahamas even has a concept of bail but it doesn't apply here and wouldn't make sense to let him out.

LoL doesn't get 200k viewers, it gets 2-5 million viewers [1].

Blizzard officially sponsors the ESL Pro Tour and DreamHack SC2 Masters [2].

LoL is also older than SC2, it was released in 2009 whereas SC2 was released in 2010.

I am not going to argue that esports is dead, I don't think it is. I will argue that SC2 is dead, just looking at Twitch right now, there are only 1.2k viewers for the game as a whole. As I write this post, there are three times more people watching a single woman doing nothing but eat Jello than the entirety of people watching Starcraft 2.
