Maybe it's because I don't know the workflow to do game character design, but it looks like the only AI used in the character creation here was the initial character design? Like, before in a normal process you'd get a human artist to draw you a character on that "model" sheet, giving you a front/side/back view of the character, and then take that 2d drawing and hand it off to a 3d modeler who would turn it into a 3D mesh and start taking the 2d drawings and turn them into textures, and then rigging them for animation controls.

It seems like all of that 2d->3d conversion is still being done by a human in this workflow, and so the "only" part that's being done is the 2d drawings. Now, my drawing skills would put me in the lower half of an average 4th grade class, so it's more than I could do, but it still seems like we're quite a ways from going from a couple of prompts to get a 2d design sheet, then a mesh and textures that match that 2d design, and then a rigged mesh, and then motion data to attach to that rigged mesh to give some basic animations.

So, while this is super-cool, it still feels like we're a long way from saying "I want a plumber with a thick mustache wearing blue overalls, a red shirt, and red cap. And now I want him to be able to jump and squat coming down." and start putting that into my game asset library.
That will be resolved during a merge/rebase and only if you are editing an already pushed commit.

Overall git does use the filesystem in a lot of cases when it is not needed.
They should be fined the profit that they made from the feature. All of it, plus an additional percentage as punitive damage. Nobody said they should have their entire annual profit garnished, their corporate charter revoked, their CEO arrested, or their headquarters raided by the Wagner Group. Sheesh.

The problem is that the threatened fine is nowhere near the anticipated profit. So there is a rational incentive to ignore the law.
It’s a common misconception in Christianity that God is just a ‘being among beings’. It’s more akin to the belief in existence itself, which is itself an absurdity once you think about it enough :) Some people may protest that they are part of reality though…

It needs to hurt more than just costing the company money.

Finally people from high management need to land in jail on a regular basis for the missteps of big companies. Because those people actually don't care if they loose money they don't own themself anyway.
I don't have a deeply researched position behind this, but my feeling has always been that (long term, I say again, LONG TERM) VTSAX and chill is the same bet as holding cash.

If your VTSAX ends up being worth nothing long-term, there is almost certainly no chance that your currency survived the same event.

> who seems to be trying to do everything right

They chose to use tracking tokens in the first place. By default a computer does nothing, someone was tasked to write this. Apparently they did something wrong, maybe it was an honest mistake, but I find it a stretch to just assume or expect they are necessarily choosing what's best for users (and leaving money on the table) without more info than is public.
Progressive corporate tax rates (like personal income taxes, instead of the current flat corporate tax rates) would help small companies to compete with big ones simply and naturally without needing governments to decide what constitutes a monopoly.
The Git version control system has been causing us misery for 15+ years.

I think this is uncharitable at best. It was a huge step forward compared to then popular VCSs such as Subversion, I have loved working with Git since it was created and I still enjoy working with it every day.
I did for one project, although I got kicked off a year in, because they didn't know what they had.

IMHO every REST API should be discoverable this way like the web, for example with links to related resources in responses (at least in dev) and by having OpenAPI documentation at a root path like / or /api.

Three things that I feel are true about git's model:

1- the model is not intuitive to beginners. There's a really tough learning curve.

2- the model is powerful but leads to a few specific workflow. If you don't have the same mental model and don't want to use those workflows, you will have the "misery" the author describes. Otherwise, you'll be perfectly fine.

3- no one has yet to do a great job of describing that model and workflow visually.

The author's "features from the future" feel to me like they just haven't gotten a good feel for the model. That's why they are miserable. That's partially because git's model is hard to learn, and partially because after all this time they still haven't taken an hour to deeply learn it.
Those people are just being themselves. What are you are suggesting them to do is precisely doing something else than what they naturally do.

There are people naturally good at social interactions and people who are bad at it. People who are good look at the ones who aren't and see them doing dumb, self-sabotaging mistakes that _they_ wouldn't do. The successful wouldn't act that way so they recommend the lesser fortunate to "just be themselves" assuming that everybody acts the same in their natural state, while in reality they should be recommending "just act like me".

The people bad at social interactions already act like themselves, by definition, and any sort of actionable advice that would improve their situation literally means to act less like oneself and more like someone else.
I would like a ui that can show me what conflicts are about to happen before I do a merge or rebase. Trying to resolve a conflict after it's already happened is much harder then if I knew what files and lines are about to blow up on me. Even better start warning me about which files I've been editing are going to conflict with origin once I eventually have to sync up
I am currently in the phase where I am sitting on my computer in my free time to learn things, both to advance my career (software developer) and my own hobby (also programming but my hobby is a bit different than my day job, so I learn different things), at the cost of other "fun" things that I sometimes feel like I would rather be doing

I am also looking for a boyfriend for exactly the same reasons you described; I want to find someone I can give my love to and do activities that I enjoy with, especially ones that have nothing to do with my career or programming hobby; hiking, going to metal concerts, etc.

But as you said, it's easier said than done; haven't had any luck yet

Tbh, I'm just looking for friends in general, not just a boyfriend because I have barely anyone I can call a friend in the city I live in
So it used to be possible to compile a (lightly patched?) Linux with tcc, which was part of the really cool "live disk that compiles linux and then boots it in a matter of seconds" demo[0]. I think the problem is that kernels (need to!) care about extremely precise implementation details that most programs don't need; things like "this data structure of exactly this many bytes must be placed at this exact memory address with this exact alignment, then we need to set the CPU registers to this exact list without touching the stack, then run this CPU instruction to make the hardware do the action we just staged", and they care about doing so with good performance, and AIUI, spec-based C either can't do all the things that modern OSs want, need you to jump through a lot of unergonomic hoops, or don't get the performance that people want. Hence, compiler extensions to do what the kernel wants to do while minimizing undefined behavior but keeping performance. Honestly, the fact that every major OS (I specifically know about Linux, every BSD, illumos nee Open/Solaris, but I'd be shocked if NT/Darwin were different) needs to extend the compiler is probably a glaring criticism of the C standard.

My technique is to anticipate when things are going to start winding down, and switch to drinking pints of water at the same rate you were drinking alcohol (this is much easier if you were drinking beer). If the night rekindles, you can always switch back.
They didn’t say scam but confidence game.

If confidence collapses, tether will collapse and the rest of these ‘defi’ platforms will turn out not to be as decentralised as they thought, as they also depend on the confidence game.
Agreed. There are a lot of "popular business" books which are basically a blog post stretched out over 200 pages. They're full of wonkish ideas that might, at best, only work in a specific context. Kaufman's book is a thorough grounding in the different aspects of running a business, without the faff.
Typically the object contains a single pointer to the vtable which is then the list of function pointers.

You can do this structure in C, but more common is the struct of function pointers which avoids a level of indirection at the cost of object size.
But are those numbers realistic and representative? How much higher will they be marked, and more importantly, how well correlated are the “make believe” prices to eventual selling prices

We’ve always been at that point because art is a spectrum with no defined boundaries.

There is no single metric for quality, and there’s been tons of artists who put out generic work in the past that have been mistaken for plagiarism in a similar vein.

Art is not a Boolean, therefore neither are comparisons
I got that part. But the claim here would be that your USDC collateral would go to zero. Yes, USDC is "a crypto" and if you lump it in with all crypto, you will casually think it will magically go to zero too, despite being backed with non-crypto assets and a level of conventional oversight from the financial markets.

Or is the whole idea that it's somehow deeply insightful to not make this distinction?
You’d think that Microsoft and Github would have a monopoly on this given their personal contributions to Git, ownership of Visual Studio Code, and ownership of the largest Git hosting PaaS.

Don’t get me wrong, VS Code and Github are both okay. I use them both and drop into the integrated terminal for situations where my muscle memory is faster or the workflow is going to be more complex. I also find that setting VS Code to my default editor for Git makes this pretty seamless. Anyway, I find it interesting that there doesn’t seem to be a big focus on the sort of features the author mentioned in VS Code.

Now that I think of it, this is also one of those few circumstances where I don’t need or want the tool to be modular. VCS are such a fixture today that I just expect this to be built into the IDE’s GUI. A separate app, even with perfect workflows, may be just as much of a bother as a terminal. After all, what’s stopping me from writing a handful of clever aliases?

> They're obviously still better than Google

Really? Google spies on their users. But everybody knows that.

Apple lies to their users telling them they not spying on them despite doing exactly that.

So who's more dishonest?

(This question is independent from the question whether it's morally OK to spy on people in the first place.)
Huh, it appears a lot less frequent than I thought. I had misremembered some \mathrm{R}'s as \mathbf{R}'s.

That said, I still feel that I've seen every \mathbf letter used for something other than a standard number set somewhere. But probably not in the mainstream.
In my case, all of TLS connections are new and from real clients (not a benchmark/test)
The difficulty really depends on the game. Some of these things are glorified webapps and 1M+ DAU is pretty trivial on the cheap. But if you have more real-time multiplayer interaction, it would take a lot more work.
> We should put CEOs in prison

So in an obscure settings toggle, in one version of iOS that was immediately fixed, some developer probably unknowingly set a toggle default to a setting that contravened an EU law… and you think Tim Cook should go to prison??

I just finished reading a book where one of the chapters was about factories in north New York where the executives covered-up systematic leaking of dioxin into the local environment for decades.

But sure - Tim Cook should go to prison to appease your Apple hatred.
Many, yes. You can pair a CLI arg parser with a logger that supports colored output, and add a TUI library if you needed that. There are "command line frameworks" as well, like picocli that can be paired with something like Jbang for distribution.

So 2023 will be the perennial Year of the Linux Touchpad?

I don't know the details of this but it seems like we're touching on some fundamental architectural problems with Linux here. Please correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like a combination of:

1. The Linux device driver model is fundamentally flawed. Namly, device drivers live in the kernel (I'm including modules here) and there's no stable ABI to isolate device drivers;

2. This seems to be another example where X is showing its age and the fact that it was designed to do things people care less about.

A lot of engineers like to use Macs for development because its Unix-like and has a nice and responsive UI and hardware. There are technical problems with OSX but they don't seem to matter.

High DPI didsplay were a problem for Linux for the longest time where it quickly became just a scaling setting in OSX. OSX seems to benefit for complete vertical integration in a big way here.

To be fair, touchpads are (IMHO) a big problem on Windows too. This just seems to be an area that Apple completely nails (hardware and software). It's kind of weird that a decade+ later Windows and Linux are still playing catch up, even with Mac hardware.

I second this, immensely.

I learned basic accounting at a community college-- Financial Accounting (3 hr course) & Managerial Accounting (3 hr course). I later took Intermediate Accounting 1 which was also super insightful.

But those first two... Wow. They really opened up the "black box" of internal financial operations within a business, to me. Prior to those first two courses, I had no idea what happens when I pay a cashier a dollar, and how that dollar flows through a company to pay their vendors & employees (as well as taxes).

Intermediate Accounting 1 & 2 (dropped out of 2) taught me more about how accounting statements relate to the stock market & financiers.

If you'd like a free intro, you can check out this free online college-level textbook on accounting: https://www.principlesofaccounting.com/ [1]

I think this is an optimistic take - one technology can improve productivity and drive an industry, while the next technology can turn that same industry on it's head.

Take for example the traditional 'Travel Agent' job - a role which was initially revolutionised by computing technologies such as SABRE and digital hotel reservations (improving profits and productivity while lowering cost!). Then the next technology came along, and over a period of 20 years was completely absorbed by Booking.com, AirBnB and SkyScanner (who could offer a more convenient service with a tiny fraction of the staff).

Technologies help you become more productive, until they rewrite the market and make you redundant.

It depends on what you like about startups. If it is the potential to make millions (which from my experience is 95% of the startup folk), then they are very much against anti-trust.

If you are a fan of disruption, innovation and advancing the world, you are definitely part of the minority that loves anti-trust.

I am personally aware of a few folk in FAANG, that pull ~1-3M a year currently and are busy touring asia to set up their "startup" with plans to make 10x their current renumeration. I cannot see these as people who 'love anti-trust'.
No it’s stable because they’re lying about what it is backed by. It’s easy to make a scam look superficially stable if you are not called on it or make it impossible to call you on your promises.

I have a Samsung Galaxy book with Manjaro and wayland. The touchpad works. Multi touch, gestures, and everything. But it isn't great. I blame the hardware for this. It's a generic cheap synaptic thing in a cheap laptop. So, my expectations were kind of low for this.

On the software front, there is basically no way to configure this thing in a sane way either. At least not in Gnome. So, the software has lots of room to be fixed. Some kind of simple UI to dial in responsiveness and configure things like gestures would be nice. But you can't make mediocre hardware great with just software. I also had some issues with Firefox until I figured out that I needed to fiddle with some settings to make it not scroll super fast. After that it was usable. But I bought a wireless mouse because it is just not a great experience using it for extended periods of time.

I actually connected my Apple magic keyboard and trackpad 2 at some point and that worked great. Still no way to configure the trackpad properly but it got recognized and it felt as responsive and usable as I'm used to on a mac. It's great on Linux as well. If Asahi keeps on improving, I might install it on a mac. I use the M1 macbook pro for work and it's a great piece of hardware. None of the PC vendors come even close to how good that is.
