This brings me immense joy to know that more hams are using morse code. This might be the first increase since the sixties when I was among a wave of boomer teenagers getting their ham licenses.

Yes, A World Out Of Time by Larry Niven.

"Almost all remaining life on Earth has adapted to live in Antarctica. Elsewhere life is extinct except for some evidence of biological activity in the Himalayan mountains."

Regular chess is played on an 8x8 grid of squares, and pieces occupy one square at a time. They move along grid lines and diagonals and there's no such thing as being "halfway" between two squares. Every piece on the board has an X-coordinate between A and H, and a Y-coordinate between 1 and 8.

In this version, the pieces are no longer constrained to having integer coordinates. A pawn can be "halfway" between, say A2 and A3, or a queen could be sitting roughly in-between several squares at once. In regular chess, pieces are captured when an enemy piece moves to the same square as them. In this version, since the grid doesn't exist any more, pieces are captured when an enemy piece physically overlaps them.

It's kinda like normal chess is a low-resolution game with only 64 possible locations, and this is a higher resolution version of it where you aren't limited to just those 64 locations and can slide continuously all across the board.
Thank you for this. And yes, we are looking into a complete refactor.

I'd recommend listening to Hasbro's leadership explain to institutional investors how they intend to make more money off MTG & DnD:

> When I was a broke teenager, I pirated a lot of software, games and music I later paid for when I had enough money to do so.

I don't know, I feel like it depends on the culture as well, not just the amount of money someone has.

For example, I am at a point in my life where I can afford JetBrains licenses (actually their Ultimate pack with tools for all languages), so I buy them. Some people that I've talked with, while also apparently able to afford such tools, simply don't bother paying and prefer the pirated versions instead. They might look at the ~350 euro yearly price tag, consider that it's X% of their current month's salary and prefer free instead, even though it means putting themselves at risk (sometimes). In other words, they just don't care.

I can pretty much say the same about Windows installs that many are running on their computers. Given that buying Windows might be a non-insignificant part of their income, they just won't and instead might pay 20 euros or something to someone who can give them an install that just works. They don't care about copyright, or the ethical aspects, they just want the shiny thing.

My income has gone up in the past few years to a point where I'm comfortable, but I definitely can understand their point of view, even if it's unethical, at least given how life can be in my country (Latvia, though the same applies to many other economies around the world). Heck, in regards to entertainment I never buy those new AAA "full priced" games and just not play them if I can't find them on discount/sale until a few years pass and they're cheaper then, though I've heard that shady game key reseller sites are also popular here.

Here, the average annual disposable income per capita per year was around 11 thousand euros in 2020: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1267688/latvia-average-i...

Edit: actually, my country might be a bit of a negative example in particular, not sure why: https://eng.lsm.lv/article/society/society/latvia-leading-in...

Go, Python, and every other known programming language have ecosystems, with syntax generators, validators, and SDKs for most APIs. Best part is I can hire people today who know how to use them.

AWS SDK for Go has snippets that just work right in the docs. Writing some logic like “if attempting to use AWS types a, b, c, or send values outside this regex, error” is not that hard.

Having learned Puppet, Chef, Ansible, and having zero use for them day-to-day in the current reality of “beam API params”, a problem specific DSL seems like a dubious proposition.

I think you are just recognizing that capital is not wealth, and that the instinct to grow and preserve it is alienating you from solving the problems and generating the wealth thru cooperation with your neighbors. Buying locally, keeps more money circulating locally.

It wont offset inflation, but it makes a bigger impact on the people around you, who grow your food, ship and transport your food, sell you food and goods, install your heat pumps or wood stove, maybe even build the wood stove. The fabric of social relations that drives modern production, light industry as they sometimes call it, is what makes us collectively wealthy.

Is that true? I thought they could only devote devolved public expenditure to the nhs.

Even if they could raise income tax (3p i think?) to fund extra in the nhs that’s a drastically unlikely scenario.

This works incredibly well on me. I often use free or open source versions of tools and just ignore the nagging prompts about licenses. Then over time, if I like it enough that I eventually end up getting a license for it. I think the ability for me to see the value in something first before committing helps a lot. The free version sort of builds a reservoir of good will that eventually pushes me over to just paying for a license.
Makes total sense. We talked to other people who had a similar headspace: exploration is essential, though purchasing each game is not necessarily the problem. One of the things you gain from subscription service is curation; the idea around there is to minimize those encounters where you absolutely dislike the game, either because there's an audience voting for the titles you see or because there's a recommendation system that filters stuff you might not like.

On the point of trying out more stuff before you buy them: we considered adding a section on the platform for alpha/beta releases. It would allow developers to test and get feedback throughout the early stages of development while allowing players to engage with titles they would otherwise avoid. It would be separate from the revenue share model as these games wouldn't be fully baked and, therefore, at a lower standard than those on the "official" portfolio. We might be able to roll out this feature in the coming weeks! Would that be something you see yourself using?

And absolutely, in the context you gave, you would help developers a lot with our model. Think about it this way: the 200 hours you played on that game got compensated once: when you bought it. On the other hand, if you are subscribed to MagnaPlay and mostly play that game, you'd be essentially giving 80% of your subscription to its developer every month.
Maybe? I think the problem is does a small entity like a person or a start up have the resources to make that fight with a big entity? Even if it’s a really obvious and winnable case?
Yes, and this is not just a theoretical concern: There was an article here [1] in 2021 claiming that Apple M1's FMA implementation had "flaws". There was actually no such flaw. Instead, the author was caught off guard by the very phenomenon you are describing.

I don't think Pythons Decimal is ieee754, instead its some sort of arbitrary precision thingy.

GCC has builtin support for decimal floats: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Decimal-Float.html

decnumber has also rust wrappers if you are so inclined
Every kernel subsystem has its own testsuite. Running all of them would requires hundreds of different pieces of hardware, so it's not really possible for a single release manager to do so.

For Linus's releases this is easily solved by slowing down progressively the pace of development towards a release, so that cross-subsystem issues where maintainer A breaks maintainer B's subsystem become progressively less likely over the two months of the release cycle.

For stable releases this is much harder to do because of the short cycle. The stable branches in the end are a mostly automated collection of patches based on both maintainer input and the output of a machine learning model. The quality of stable branches is generally pretty good, or screwups such as this one would not make a headline; but that's more a result of discipline of mainline kernel development, rather than a virtue of the stable kernel release process.

Yeah, maybe in the US, where your livestock practices are pretty suspect at best.
I read something about how a lot of 'super group' bands kind of don't do anything truly great because of this type of dynamic. They all know they're good, they know the others are good, and they all have a bit of an ego and don't want to stomp on the others, so they all tend to "go along with it" without getting too pushy. That leads to good, but not great music.

I think regulatory capture and the power of absolutely massive monopolies in our industrial agriculture systems are what makes the problem persist. Awareness of the issue is not the obstacle. We can all be aware of it, people regularly complain about this or that part of the food system, but when we organize and fight to improve it, we meet incredible power arrayed against us. We can win, and do, but that poeer, not our lack of awareness, is the problem, IMO

aozgaa has already answered this one - but yes! If you have a concrete suggestion, that's fair game and we can brainstorm on the issue to think of something. We might not come up with something general enough to implement, but it's often a good seed to plant.

If you have 10K RSUs and the shares are worth $100, they are worth $1M right now. If the shares then go down by 10%, your RSUs went down by 10% (are worth $900K).

If you have options on 50K of those same shares at a strike of $80, the options are in the money by that same $1M. If the shares go down by 10%, the in-the-money amount falls by 50% (to $500K) rather than by 10% (to 900K).

You're clearly passionate about something here, but it's not totally clear what it is or why. It might be interesting to read what you have to say, but you need to chill, organize your thoughts, and stop calling other posters idiots for disagreeing with you. Right now it feels like we're catching half of an angry shower argument against someone who's not here.

I can tell, because I've made posts like this before, and I always regretted it later. Have your angry argument in a journal or text file (Lately I've really liked Markdown with source control). Then revisit it later, and add in the side you're arguing against. Then revise it so that you're actually making a clear point, and remove all the personal insults. Then post it here, because I want to read it. But until then, I have no idea WTF you're on about or why you're so defensive of a very-long-dead philosopher.
So I've said there's decline, but that might be temporary, then given reasons why it might not be temporary. Are you even sure we disagree?

The debt ceiling is redundant and dangerous and should be abolished. It's a vote on whether or not to pay bills that have already been incurred.

Every year Congress passes a budget that sets revenues and expenditures. If revenues exceed expenditures there is a budget surplus; if expenditures exceed revenues there is a budget deficit. Mathematically, the debt outstanding is simply the sum total of all annual budget surpluses and deficits going back to the founding of the nation. The required CHANGE to the debt over the course of a year is determined by that annual budget surplus/deficit, having a separate vote on it is absurd.
This is my favorite part of the paper:

> ~~Q(~~Q(~~Q(~~Q(~~Q(~~Q(~~Q(~~Q(~~Q(~~Q([etc.]

It comes early enough that the paper hasn't given enough context to figure out why it's there, so unless you already know, it's just surreal and gives you a faint suspicion that the author is crazy.
The concept of a browser history, where you can end up having visiting something and it NOT showing up in the history is broken.

Kubernetes moved Docker support out of the main repo, late last year. It is still supported and works, it is just an external repo now. As well as this Docker runs on containerd (which was originally a Docker project to work more closely with the Kubernetes project, now a CNCF project), and Docker Desktop now has a beta option to run the full containerd backend, including the image store, which we may well use to provide a common image store across Kubernetes and Docker engine in future, we are still exploring the many ways in which we can continue to improve the Kubernetes on Docker Desktop.

That's fair. It appears his issue is more related to libraries with broken, undocumented types and typescript's opaque errors when an error occurs in said library. Unfortunately I think he's conflating typescript's role and a library with broken type definitions (I have no idea whether the type definitions he's had problems with are provided by the library or a community effort that may not keep pace with the official library). When the type definitions don't match the official library it can definitely cause a tremendous amount of frustration and make one doubt the usefulness of types.

Competition leads to the opposite, and I don't see any tangible argument for why it would be otherwise in this case.

Same here. It's a great base image for node projects.

the Node 19 release alpine image is ~175mb, the same release on debian (bullseye) is roughly 1gb (998mb). Still ~80MB smaller than the bullseye-slim release (247mb).

That said - if the ask was for using it as a daily driver on a machine (primary OS), I'd probably still pick a more fully featured distro (ex: my daily driver is Arch, not Alpine). The available packages and tooling in Alpine aren't really geared towards daily use as an OS, although some folks definitely do it.
