I really like the idea, but Humble Bundle Choice does this much much better and has been around for well over a decade. With Humble I get Steam keys and I don't have to install another client.

I honestly don't see how this business model can work, the competition is really really good at what it does. I have Gamepass and Humble which frankly gives me more than I can even play.

Now what could work would be a publisher offering whatever games it sells for a monthly fee. As in, you get the September game( maybe it's 6 months old at this point) and get to keep it even after canceling.
Then again, Humble publishes a ton of games, so their already doing this.
The need of counterpoints and different views are important especially in academic field. But some debates got us lost as well. I would not say bad against YT but more about lack of quality one. Hope that will come.

Take an example of MONO discussed below. One claimed it is right but wrong in other prediction.

“ So MOND does predict more galaxies at high redshift however it also predicts earlier reionization than LCDM which it turns out not to be true and the mass function of clusters is not what we see purely based on X-ray temperatures. So getting one thing right at the expense of many others doesn't make this particularly viable.”

But the major discussion shifted to dark energy and refracted … and totally ignored that wrong predictions by mono … it is just hard to follow the threads.

But more discussion may help.

The big issue with alpine is that it uses musl libc instead of glibc. Python and other languages work just fine on it but the problem is when you install packages from pip, conda or other package managers, if those packages have binaries they're likely not compatible with musl libc and won't work. You have to find alpine-specific packages which can be difficult or annoying.
I was happy when Promise became available, but in retrospect I'd wish we would have skipped ahead and gotten Observable (e.g: https://rxjs.dev/) instead to enable more powerful functionality and composition etc.

In Typescript dealing with rejection is also painful since rejection reasons can't be guaranteed to be Error even when you always take care of that. And it can't help you guarantee that you're handling all types of errors thrown. For that purpose I'm thinking of using https://github.com/supermacro/neverthrow#readme or https://swan-io.github.io/boxed.

They're mostly reacting to the results of a Stanford study from last year, showing that they emit levels of NO2 that are hazardous to human health and emit methane (a very potent greenhouse gas) even when not in use.
I regularly use ChatGPT to improve my English. I write a paragraph, I don't like it and ask ChatGPT to rewrite it fixing grammar mistakes (English is not my first language). Would that be considered plagiarism? No (just like using Grammarly is not considered plagiarism). So, how on earth can the university distinguish between using ChatPGT for rewriting my own words vs using it to write an entire essay?
It’s a meta-assembler. You can see every word you define as a new instruction you define. For example, if you want an instruction that multiplies by 17, you do

>Is there objective data that US debit cards have more fraud impact for their users?

Debit card fraud is rampant here in the USA. I cannot think of anyone I know personally who has not been a victim of debit and credit card fraud at least once (most have been hit multiple times). The difference usually is that in the case of credit card fraud, you go to charge something, and your card doesn't work. You call up only to find out your credit card has been frozen due to a pattern of suspicious purchasing behavior in some distant state. Credit card companies are very diligent about this because it is their money on the line. When it comes to debit card fraud you only find out about it when you check your account and see your balance decimated or a list of phony charges that you didn't authorize. In the case of credit cards, you aren't responsible for paying the phony charges. In the case of debit cards, you are usually just out the money. It is very common here.

We have geothermal HVAC and this is one reason why banning gas hookups seems like a very bad idea to me. What we have is essentially an electric heat pump that gets routed through the earth. We love it but during bad winter storms I feel vulnerable by being so dependent on electricity. We haven't had problems so far but if we did it would be very bad. It doesn't seem like a bad thing to allow for multiple ways to heat your home, water, and food. Solar is another possibility but that seems impractical in a lot of scenarios, especially when one of the major reasons for an electrical outage would be storms.

I understand the motivations for wanting to ban fossil fuels but I feel like the best way to do that is to let the market take its course, maybe with positive government incentives. Let people figure out what the best balance of fossil fuel dependency is. Build up the grid to the point where it seems indestructible and convince people that way.

It seems like a bad idea to force increased dependency on the electric grid when there's so many stories about how poor it is in so many places.
Wasn't there an article a while back where someone was complaining that her employer demanded to examine the contents of her work phone but she didn't want to because she had nudes on it?

You know, I had a cool hardware hacking idea I really wanted to do but both TFTs and eInk screens are prohibitively expensive. I just wanted a low resolution/dpi cheap monochrome display. Lack of demand apparently meant they cost more than normal colored lcds.
Epicycles is what Copernicus fought against. Have he also have some I am not aware of ?!

Epicircle come about if one consider earth is the Center and some planets sometimes move backwards and then start to move forward again. You do not have that issues with Copernicus.

But he made a mistake of using circle. The observation guy using everything rotate around the sun and sun around the earth … a wrong model but the key is not the model but the observation he made. His record keeper Kepler finally found some other patterns and Newton get the … the rest is history.

I do not go to wiki or internet to check out the phrase. But epicircle …not of Copernicus.
There is apparently only one person in the world cracking Denuvo and they are very unreliable/unstable. Most of the major "week one" incidents have been accidental leakages of the unprotected game.

There is just very little incentive anymore. The skill level for hacking game DRM is extremely high now and those people would rather spend their time working on one of the many bug bounties where they can get huge payouts and public recognition for hacking ios vs having to hide behind tor and risk arrest to provide kids with free games.
Look at Adobe, for instance.

A good portion of their user base got started using cracked copies of the software, as the price of something like the CS6 Master collection was well outside of the affordability of the average hobbyist.

But some of those teenage hobbyists grew up to go to college to expand on their Adobe tinkering to becoming professionals that sneer at people who use non-adobe products because of the price.

Businesses buy the software because that is what the talent is trained on. The difference between calling what Adobe has on the market a monopoly and an actual monopoly is probably only technicalities at this point.

Sure, most of this comes from the fact that their software really was the best of the best for the longest time, and their lead in technology and namesake is so far ahead of any of their competitors that it is laughable. their software was pirated obsessively because it was so good and so expensive, just like Waves $2,000 Mercury VST plugin suite.

There are other softwares, many of which are free or very affordable, that do 95%+ of what anything adobe or Waves does. But when you edit a photo with Gimp people will still instinctively say that you photoshopped it, and few people will ever care what plugins you used on an audio track if it's not autotune.
And every time these posts come around, someone immediately jumps in and plays a character in Office Space, saying "oh the engineers don't like talking to people, that's why I'm valuable".

Look at all the recent layoffs; get the data and ask around "how many Engineers with 1+ years of seniority were impacted by the layoffs". The number is dwarfed by literally every other business function. Dwarfed. Your probability of getting laid off is, actually, seemingly, directly proportional to how close you are to the center of business function, process, and revenue. Sales? Big impact. Marketing? Gulp. HR? Ruh roh. Product and Design? Eh, some get laid off. Engineering? Least of all. Well, except C-Suite; not seeing a lot of CEOs impacted by the layoffs, weirdly.

This is LITERALLY the companies saying you're wrong; that a lot of what you just said is a smokescreen fabrication invented by the people who are being laid off to justify their paychecks.

Which isn't me asserting that Sales isn't valuable, or Marketing, or any of those other functions. Hella valuable. Its just me going to bat for the other side: That comments like your's are insensitive to the very real fact that, in many organizations, Engineers are treated like extremely well compensated trash. Shit flows downstream, and in software orgs it really doesn't get more downstream than the engineers; so when they say "we need to re-architect this piece of the system" or "we need to add testing" or "we need process improvements around coordination with other teams" oftentimes they're the least-heard voice in the room. "Well, we have room for five epics this quarter, and product wants these four things done, sales wants these two, we'll include this re-architecture as a stretch goal".

Your entire worldview of a healthy organization is born from the largest bull market in human history, in the wealthiest country on the planet. Everyone is a genius in a bull market. Whether your opinion will still hold over the next few years is something you'll get to discover. I'll say this, though: There are people who do real work, and there are people who stand next to the people who do real work. I would much rather be the former than the latter. Engineers do real work; product managers oftentimes do real work; designers do real work; sales, marketing, lots of real work; coordinators, project managers, middle managers, scrum specialists, jira consultants, not real work. These are all problems born of too much money.
Elites Abandoned the Masses
You're making an apples to oranges comparison there. Rewritten to be more-similar:

I worked for Ashley Madison (or should I say, the company that runs it), so I have a somewhat twisted take on this article.

> Others will sign up for the site, use it a few times, forget they have a membership, and continue to get billed for it, sometimes for years.

It's shocking how much of the site's revenue comes from this. If dormant subscribers were all removed, AM would be completely wiped out. I'd wager a lot of dating websites are like this. AM had a few "subsites" and they all survived like this also.

> If someone joins the site and is successful, the site loses two customers.

This is where AM is devious because, in theory, everyone is cheating on eachother. If you're a cheater you're probably gonna keep your account to continue cheating. Brilliant.

The other devious thing that everyone already knows about knows about, is that there are actually barely any real women on the site. Most call them bots, but they are basically just automated accounts which is just built right into the monolith. Some of them are actually accounts from real women that just became dormant and aren't used anymore. Some are just fake accounts setup by the company. They got slapped by regulators for running bot accounts (among other things) after the big hack, but now they just use dark patterns to make everything look above board.

I am not endorsing their business model. I started working there out of morbid curiosity and because I was going to be working on things like increasing the security and privacy of the site - which seemed noble at the time - I was laid off during a restructuring. It is a seriously demented company to work for and feel that overall it is a stain on my career in hindsight, though it is an interesting ice breaker.

I think this is indicative of a larger systemic problem. Outside a few jobs, most jobs are fairly meaningless in that it's hard to see the value in your work in the company. So a lot of jobs are starting to turn into a perverse form of universal basic income.

I'm not trying to validate it. I'm just saying that we are in a transitory stage towards UBI and that is supported by the surge of "quiet quitting" that we are seeing.

This is from the studio "eboy", who's been doing professional isometric pixel work for a good while. When you're a multi-person studio who regularly does sprawling multi-artist projects (https://hello.eboy.com/pool/~Pixorama/1?q=project) then it's well worth documenting what you are choosing to standardize on.

I'm not a huge fan of their signature look either, but this is a nice little list of "what to expect if you're gonna work with us" IMHO. :)
Your point doesn't hold any weight though? I've heard the phrase lots of times from various people.

What if I said "I've only heard the word Americanism from Stalin". You wouldn't care and I'd be silly to expect you to take any feedback from me saying so.
The point you're missing is that the companies that already do that set the standards based on a 60- or 80-hour week, then say that anyone who can't do that in 40 hours is an underperformer who needs to try harder.

I switched from Adobe to Affinity because of subscriptions. I would gladly pay Adobe for a full creative suite if I had the option, but I want neither their subscription where they can remove features at-will, nor do I want any of their horribly buggy cloud offerings where they train their AI on my data. I also don't like the continuous financial liability and the loss of access if I stop paying.

The only subscription I'm paying for software-wise is Jetbrains, where they have steep discounts the more years you have a sub and every update they make is s huge time saver for me. Plus, I get a fallback license if I ever decide to cancel.
wow!!! This bring me a lot of memories. Back in 1988, I wrote a Forth program to control a X-Y table to control a ultrasound probe to inspect metal parts. The program was running on a Radio Shack Color Computer 2 (TRS-80) with 16k of RAM. The program itself was running in OS-9 operating system. Remember, there was no hard drive on this, only one floppy drive! Amazing to see how far we come from!

Open-Source Science Initiative
I think this was a design mistake. If they wanted to come up with a new syntax for sending UDP packets, fine.

If they persuaded the kernel devs to make some devfs way that those were real files, using the unix filesystem API, also fine.

But making something that looks like a real thing in the filesystem, but isn't usable by other programs that use the filesystem... Thats not right.
I was doing some very similar things (gRPC with Alpine containers) and also had the segfault things. `gcompat` solved all of them.
Problems are often "sticky" (A term I've read referencing this exact thing, a problem where you need to begin implementing before you understand it fully, but I don't think it's a widely used term) but I think the implementation step is a different matter than architecture stuff regardless. It's not that there aren't important things to work out, but for me I broadly consider that to be part of the implementation.

I get what you're saying though, I definitely don't think I'm solving all my problems before ever starting the code, but I definitely always finish solving the problem before I finish the code, and usually early enough that the rest of implementation drags even if there are quirks and edge cases to work out.

I've currently been focusing on making terminal user interfaces work well across personal computer, server, and browser platforms, because rich ANSI TTYs (like Blinkenlight's TUI) is a problem that's tractable for mostly one individual to solve really well.

> Like: if it's literally the same time, or you're really good friends, sure, but my experience of friends who had kids either a year before or after me is that they fell off the face of the planet.

I don’t see why that would be the case. Out of my friends who had kids within a couple of years of us, we’ve remained good friends. What causes the distance in my experience is years of living very different lives and having less and less in common and less and less to talk about.

> You get them back, you know? If you want to? We ended up with a superset, of the social circle we had just before we had kids (I was super young so it's weird to talk about "friends I had before we had kids", but we have a bunch) and the friends we made because we had kids.

By contrast I had the same experience as the other poster above. Making friends with other parents was awkward, because in my circle almost all the parents were 5-10 years older. We were grinding away as junior professionals and when we’d meet other parents from say my daughter’s class, they all had our bosses’ jobs. It was only when we moved to “real America” that we started meeting other parents we could easily relate to.
I'm not saying it indicates deliberately hidden intelligence, I'm just saying it's precedence for models already acting with less capability than they have.
