If you want to walk up to a dealer and announce that you have cash and want to pay full sticker, they will be happy to roll out a red carpet for you. But you still can't just "buy the asset." Local governments require all kinds of documentation and registration "bullshit" that it sounds like you are blaming the dealer for.

It doesn't matter what the intention is to begin with. None of these will ever happen.

Seconding... WOW JUST WOW.

How can this not receive more attention here? (everyone had "root" to production with all user data, without any approach to limit that if they wanted, nothing what could be called staging/dev envs, employees installed spyware regularly only caught by incidents and self-reporting, and they never made an effort to buy licenses for the software used).

Sorry, but in most other business except tech, that's just fraud on many levels?

Sounds like a massively failed company, making one wonder how could this be running so well for so long? And puts another question mark on what the thousands of employees had been doing.. and also on all the "we were such a nice community posts"? Not? Someone tell me this is business as usual?
It’s probably not as much of a problem on macOS and Linux where the majority of apps will obey system text rendering settings (and macOS defaults to non-subpixel AA anyway) but under Windows everybody does their own thing for text rendering regardless of how you’ve set up ClearType and it’s a mess.
the horizontal aspect of software has samey caricatures that get boring as well. Most of it is web development. If you switch verticals but stay in the same horizontal zone of back end web development you're mostly doing the same stuff if it's web dev.

I find it fascinating that we may be able to clone extinct species, but I agree with the warnings about the dangers of de-extinction. Just because we can do something doesn't mean we should. It's important to consider the potential consequences of bringing back ancient species, both for the animals themselves and for the ecosystem. It's also worth noting that even if we are able to successfully clone a dinosaur, it's unlikely that it would be a true copy of the original due to the degradation of DNA over time. Cloning a dinosaur would be more like creating a genetically modified hybrid than reviving a true extinct species.
This kind of pointedly naive questioning -- starting the conversation over at zero -- is an extremely unhelpful "discussion" (debate) tactic, and is really annoying to boot.

This is the correct take I think. So much of sports is about tradition and routine. Esports needs the build up that base of "I watched this league every sunday with my dad growing up and he watched with his dad when he was growing up" etc. to be taken seriously. Will probably take another 40 or so years, and esports will continue to improve in the meantime too.

Importantly this requires long lasting games. Currently most people switch the game they watch every 5 or so years. Having a long lasting league that can create generational fandoms requires a game that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. MOBAs might satisfy that, remains to be seen, but that type of commitment is absolutely a pre-requisite.

I mentioned GitHub because the OP mentioned GitHub, but it will be easier to persuade the top five or ten forges to hide these files by default than to

- persuade the top twenty language/tooling ecosystems to look for their config files in .config

- wait for these updated tools to roll out

- update most existing projects to move their config files into this directory

That is what I mean. Some people are imagining the capital costs of a natural gas plant with the fuel and environmental costs being almost nothing. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that a fusion plant would cost anything less than a fission plant at this point.
Eventually we have to get to zero net carbon emissions. But the worst case is just to create carbon based fuels from CO2 extracted from the atmosphere and use it in places/for uses which cannot be covered by renewable electricity directly (the far north, airplaines, ...)
Fair enough. I've edited it.

Wasn't really worried about that.

I didn't do it as a super quick burst, but in a space of multiple hours.

First because the proxy servers were super slow and second - I couldn't automate it - their servers had some kind of bot detection which would catch me calling the URLs through script.

Instead, I installed a browser extension which would automatically reload a browser tab after specified timeout (I've set it to 10 sec or something) and I opened like 50 tabs of the honeypot URL and left it there to reload for hours ...

A contract of employment is also usually tied to some vague job description the employer is expecting from the employee.

I am wondering how much of the excessive (even to the point of lunacy) funding of stupid ideas in tech is due to a low-rate macro environment as opposed to a spray-and-pray gold rush that naturally gets triggered whenever someone hits gold in an area.

After all it is hard to argue that AdSense, iPhones and AWS are not hugely profitable paradigm-shift innovations that would thrive in even the harshest macro environments, and the excessive mad funding are just ill-informed speculators trying their best to win the power law game as often happen in gold rushes.

It was just last year that Safari introduced extension support at all (at least on the shared webext api set)

Chrome first released them in 2009, version 4 (happened to still be on webkit then, too - so same rendering engine as safari). The space is 13 years old.

And even then... the supported api set is fairly minimal.

Combo that with the xcode lock in and... Apple still gets a solid failing grade from me.

With the benefit of hindsight, I think esports are more similar to the model set by the World Series of Poker than pro sports.

Well attended in-person attended always felt like a non-starter to me. I go to NFL and NHL games a few times a season, even with bad seats the field is big enough that you only look to the monitors for the replay. For a computer game you're not watching play on the field, just the monitors, so you have the same problems as a movie theater.

I get the social aspect for your tiny tournaments, or once-a-year events. But that's just not as big of an audience. I still go to the movie theater too. But unless you're there for the hype of being in a loud crowd... why go often?

So the laser energy that went into the reaction in the form of light is less than what came out of the reaction. However, the energy needed to produce that laser energy may be orders of magnitude more depending on the laser. AKA: the Wall Plug Efficiency.

Tabletop rigs can be as efficient as 50%, however high power such as we see here tends to come with drastically reduced efficiency.
Very carefully scheduling NMI and IRQ updates to achieve a virtual sound channel on an old NES, resulting in a sawtooth bassline with volume control. This steals about 13% of the CPU time. The biggest hack in the arrangement is the scheduling of OAM DMA to sneakily just barely fit between timed audio updates, since it pauses the CPU and would otherwise cause an audible glitch. Among other things, if NMI notices that it interrupted IRQ, it apologizes profusely and exits immediately, which is a rather unusual workaround on 6502 systems.

I've open sourced the technique with a more detailed writeup [1] and I like to think the game I created with it is pretty fun, [2] but of course that's subjective. You can try it in your browser here. [3]

Not /u/acidburnNSA, but what was meant is that no laser is 100% efficient. Not only do they not convert 100% of their electrical input into laser energy, but they also require other support systems, notably cooling. So we need to consider the total energy costs of the building the fusion experiment is conducted in, not just the physically small area where the fusion reaction is happening inside the reactor.

Still, this is an important step in the development of fusion energy reactors.

Believe it or not, rural life isn't a new-fangled innovation; it was the default for all of human history and prehistory up until about 2007.

Disease is a particularly curious example because disease spreads much more readily in an urban environment. Moreover, just because you're in a rural area doesn't mean you live far from a hospital. My parents live in a rural area and they're 5 minutes from a clinic and 20 minutes to a hospital (perhaps a dozen hospital options in a 40 minute radius and multiple world-class healthcare options in a 3 hour radius). But yes, if you are seriously disabled and you have no meaningful community to help you, then you're probably going to have a hard life in a rural area.

Further still, if you move everyone out of rural areas, then you are basically committing your food production to large-scale industrial farming operations as that's the only way it can be done with sufficiently few people.

> And then there is the power imbalance a supplier will have over a small rural town, as it is unlikely that there is much to choose from, and no real power to influence a large company anyway. So now you're stuck with undrinkable water, bad internet, and barely any healthcare.

ISP monopolies are a problem everywhere, and I don't know why a rural community with their own wells would be subject to worse water quality than an exurban community like Flint or urban communities like Jackson, Baltimore, or NYC. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-growing-drinkin...

There are also a lot of benefits to living in rural areas--fresher food, cleaner air, access to more/better nature, closer-knit community, dramatically less violent crime, etc.
I'm going to go ahead and say it's normal to feel some ennui from time to time, but in other jobs you'll likely feel similarly AND have financial concerns you are currently free from. Unless you are at an executive level, or are woefully underpaid (and even if you are) leaving tech will mean taking a 60%+ pay-cut. You probably don't have the mandatory qualifications for other professional jobs that pay reasonably well. All bets are off if you start your own business of course, but the results can be very bimodal.
American football to me sounds very messy and extremely overly complicated? Like sometimes they throw, sometimes they kick, there is some goal but not goal thing. And stopping all the time?

By mainstream, I mean those with the largest aggregated audiences. That's where the people are, so that's where the money will be. The paid, polished, 'enterprise' version of ChatGPT will need to pay for itself after all.
Because it's A) true, B) relevant to keep all of the hype in check. The year of Linux on the desktop is always right around the corner too. Yes, they are tropes, but they were not born out of nothing.

Someone has to keep the bloviated PR campaigns checked with reality. Otherwise, some crazy fools might actually start believing that fusion is real and gets duped out of their money. If you can't stand a bit of real criticism, then maybe you should sell your scam somewhere else. Otherwise, take it on the chin, retool your message, and come at it honestly.

I have worked with very smart people who had no ability to prioritize. It's always fascinated me and I wonder what is at the root of this problem.

Not that I'm particularly skilled in this, but for fun I once decompiled an Android app that accompanied cheap electronic door locks we had installed in the office. I found the C files that were generating temporary passwords, manually parsed for what I was looking for, then wrote a shell script (with help from a friend) that could find/generate more temporary passwords from any existing temporary password+approximate timestamp pair.

About a year later an intern showed me that a coffee stirrer also can work to open the lock, but I bet he won't write about that in a forum.
or fusion.

There are always these articles: net energy gain finally! and then: no not really.
There are plenty of other renewables usable than solar. Wind power would be the obvious one, as wind is often a great complement to solar anyway. Then there are long-distance transmission lines, water power, energy from biomass. Finally, if everything else fails, create hydrocarbons from CO2 in sunny places, ship those "eFuels" to Minnesota.
Very excited! I have used the MGLRU patch on a 13 years old iMac with 8GB ram in last 6 months. Have chrome with lots of tabs and heavy use of gimp/ImageJ/libreoffice. MGLRU is such a great improvement, without it the machine frequently ran out of memory.
I think because it's the learned defensive reaction. What ends up happening is that you have someone who really hates fossil fuels who is more than willing to back policies that require a quality of life drop or a massive cost shift onto individuals to achieve 100% renewables. So whenever it comes up anything positive you say about renewables has to be come with the explicit caveat that it's not yet a 1-1 replacement.

It's one of those issues the overwhelming majority of people are on the same page about what we should do but at the ends you have "my livelihood depends on coal" on one end and "my life is insulated against the downsides of full-renewables so I'm privileged enough to have out of touch opinions" on the other and that's who shows up in comment sections.
The bulk of your question has already been answered but this one remains:

> What will MS gain from it?

I think this is an interesting question. It has been a minute since I worked in this field so my info may be out of date.

My understanding is the LSE runs on MelliniumIT's trading Engine and this is UNIX based?

One would think MS is looking for a way to market its cloud. "LSE runs on Azure and you should too" but in the case of the most valuable component (the matching engine) - I believe it runs on something like RedHat?

So perhaps MSs spin will be "we love Redhat as well and LSE runs on our RHEL servers?"
The core problem of competitive games is that they're "owned" by someone. Imagine if "soccer" or "tennis" was owned by a corporation.

This is what's happening when you watch a competitive game of Counter Strike (Valve) or Starcraft (Blizzard).

Sure there are institutions like FIFA and Wimbledon but nobody owns football/soccer.

My proposal would be for a game to be competitive it must be open source by default -- a generous license like MIT.

Money laundering is not victimless unless you can prove that none of the people using the service are using it to hide a crime with a victim. We know that's not the case for cryptocurrencies because they caused the ransomware industry to boom by making it easy to get real money from the victims — if they had to use the traditional banking system there are multiple chokepoints which made it much harder to get and keep significant sums that way.

In my head "Woodworking" is what you do at your basement/garage shop, building small furniture and fancy end-grain cutting boards.

"Carpentry" is "I built a garage/house/cabin".

The first one is where people gravitate, because there are no regulations on cabinet making or woodturning. If you move to carpentry, you need to know what you're doing and build to code.

Might I suggest a spin on this: instead of blocking the IPs, consider serving up different content to those IPs.

You could make a page that shames their domain name for stealing content. You could make a redirect page that redirects people to your website. Or you could make a page with absolutely disgusting content. I think it would discourage them from playing the cat and mouse game with you and fixing it by getting new IPs.
> They are stripping all JS

Are they now?

Add a `visibility: hidden` to random elements on the page, and show them with javascript.

OR

Are they removing _all_ js? Have you checked whether they remove `<body onclick="some javascript code that injects some other code">` ?

You can try to do script injection _into your own site_ to see if their mirroring software is smart enough to deal with all the different xss vectors.

Bonus points:
if they remove your <body onhover=>` attribute, add a style like

body { display: none}
body[onhover='the js code that they will remove'] {display: block}
