> Thanks, yes, I understand what a metaphor is. Did I give some indication I don't?

I assumed you understood them. But so does everyone here.

But, I am sure you are right about other potential harms, in addition to many obvious and non-obvious benefits.
Intel can reach equal or better performance than AMD only at higher power consumption.

At equal number of active cores and equal power consumption, an AMD CPU has a much higher clock frequency than an Intel CPU. At equal number of active cores and equal clock frequency, an AMD CPU has a much lower power consumption than an Intel CPU.

For desktop and laptop CPUs, Intel can win with this higher power consumption strategy, especially in single-threaded applications, where the fact that Raptor Lake has a higher IPC than Zen 4 also helps.

On the other hand, for server and workstation CPUs, Intel cannot benefit from this trick, because those CPUs are used in multi-threaded applications where they run constantly in thermally-limited conditions.

The Intel Sapphire Rapids CPUs have from many points of view a superior design in comparison with AMD Genoa, but they are severely handicapped by the inferior manufacturing process used by Intel.

Because of that, the Sapphire Rapids CPUs have low clock frequencies when all cores are active and small cache memories. This ensures that they are no match for AMD Genoa and they barely match the previous generation of AMD server CPUs.

The manufacturing process disadvantage is compounded by the stupid Intel policy of randomly disabling various features in most SKUs, with the exception of those that are ridiculously expensive.

This policy ensures that the benchmarks published for Intel are excessively optimistic, because they show the top SKUs, while the SKUs that most people have are crippled, so they may have a much lower performance.

So in servers the Intel CPUs are not competitive at all, except for various special applications where the CPU performance matters very little, e.g. when the cheapest SKUs are good enough for providing a big memory and many PCIe lanes, or when it is acceptable to pay Intel to enable the included accelerators, because the application can benefit from them.
How are any of those programs commercial? You don't pay for the software itself.

Krita is donations, SUSE and RHEL is support, the others are hardware.

> Sorry, I explicitly meant statically typed languages. Rust, Nim, Zig, Odin, Jai, etc.

Requiring a macro is no better than what C does. Most of those languages have a less awful macro system than C's, but that's not an actual language advancement. The state of printing is still awful in the languages you mention.
Television shows whose seasons are one-and-done (or two-and-done) are pretty common in the UK. I always preferred that model, because the shows are tightly plotted from beginning to end with a complete story arc and no loose ends. Another model that works is the anthology model.
Except, the Apple Watch with its own cellular data plan is a standalone device, sending and receiving phone calls, emails, and texts. I like to leave my iPhone at home when I leave my house if I don’t need a camera.
> I think this data suggests the opposite. These titles are all more than a decade old. They have endured, but the genre has died.

What you're missing is that there have been many titles that have reduced the mechanical demands in pursuit of "greater accessibility", and have been even less popular. That's been most RTSes over the last 15 years, really. They're always talking about how they wanna get rid of the clickiness or base building or what have you. "We're not gonna be APM heavy like Starcraft!" they crow, as they quickly fall into obscurity while Starcraft remains.

It's not wrong to want the genre to be more accessible or fun, or less frustrating, but getting rid of technical and tactical options by reducing control of your units is generally a bad way to go about that.

> People often find it really compelling to get into these games and do the singleplayer stuff. The multiplayer experience didn't live up to that. Limited strategic choices and a demanding micro are not what most people liked when they first entered the genre.

Nah, what points the way forward is SC2's co-op mode. That was extremely popular among more casual players -- being more popular than ranked ladder at least for a time -- despite getting only limited support as a new feature in LotV.

And the way SC2 co-op worked is that it had the same mechanical inputs of course, but it actually had less strategy, not more; similar to campaign AI's, the AI in co-op mode is largely scripted and predictable, no scouting and very little reacting required. People loved it!

Where do you get these numbers?

Thanks, interestingly, 1899 is number 2!
https://www.moonlightwork.com/ used to be in that space, they got acquired recently. On HN users ask regularly how to make extra money and everybody is unhappy with upwork. A new marketplace is probably well received. Just when the marketplaces grow they tend to add full-time jobs and companies try to cut out the middleman (they have the contact info of good developers after a while). Not sure how one can tackle the "race to the bottom", company like to pay as little as possible.
Well, those companies don't do avionics or care about them, and SQLite would do nothing for their use cases (heavy financial analytics, reporting, OLAP, etc).
I live in the US, and as I said, this is not my experience at all.

No, I was tricked into this debt and I can't go bankrupt on it. I love that my choice to be poor is a flex tho - thats rich. I refuse to pay those that took advantage of my youthful ignorance for the rest of my life.
1 pound = 240d divides evenly by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, etc..

And it's good for practicing arithmetic. ;-)

[The Wizarding Currency of the Harry Potter series was presumably a parody of this but based on 1g = 17s*29k = 493k; 17 and 29 being somewhat less useful divisors, though in practice one could presumably divide physical quantities by 18 or 30 and price on the 17 or 29 scale. 29 does have the occasionally useful property of being the number of days in February in a leap year.]
This is essentially my theory on why GRRM still hasn't released the sixth book. He's essentially created plot tech debt that can't reasonably be brought together. I'm a huge fan of ASOIAF but the 4th and 5th books begin to introduce some serious story sprawl that makes no sense to start that late in the game. Most of the community on Reddit seems convinced that he can't possibly finish in two books (the series was originally planned as a trilogy, but changed to target 7 books). And it's pretty optimistic to think that we'll ever get to a seventh book given GRRMs age and pace of writing.

The final two seasons of GoT are an absolute mess but at least some of the blame has to go to George. D&D did a fairly excellent job adapting the story when they had the books to work from and only truly went off the rails once they had to start trying to tie things together from vague notes from GRRM. They certainly bear some responsibility as well, but it's hard to fault them for failing to finish a story that the author himself just can't seem to get a handle on.

I say all this with great sadness, but that's how it seems to me.
I'm not talking about any amorphous "most popular" lists in the app. Netflix publish weekly numbers on the hours viewed for the top shows / films. This is a fixed metric and a definite and comparable number. Here's the release week of 1899:

https://top10.netflix.com/tv?week=2022-11-20

There is no chance that they're fabricating these numbers. First, that would be securities fraud. Second, it would not work as promotion channel because basically nobody would look at this website to decide what to view. But it is great for getting data for obscure internet fights!
Paul Sellers has a book about hand tools. I haven't read it personally but I've watched the majority of his youtube videos. He is an excellent teacher and a joy to watch work.

So Netflix allows for a new free trial per email address rather than per credit card?
It will come as a surprise to no one who knows me ... I wrote my own.

More, I created a system wherein people can register, and then whenever someone is travelling they can tell the system and it automatically emails everyone they know who is close to the destination.

I'm the only one who uses it, although there are a few hundred people on it, so I basically just use it as my geographical address book.

I also put landmarks, museums, and other places I might like to visit. When I tell it where I'm going it then sends me email to remind me of them.
Please re-read the thread, the problem was described multiple times in it.
It's a good model that avoids the pitfalls of "purely episodic" vs "properly long form"
For the most part, network TV used sitcom or "monster of the week" formats in which most episodes stood on their own as self-contained stories, you didn't need context from other episodes to understand the episode you were watching. 90% of the X-Files can be viewed in a randomized order and it makes no difference. This was important on network TV because it was always a crapshoot whether the schedules of fans would line up with the TV schedule so fans missing episodes was the norm.

One advantage of this format is that the importance of a show being ended on a cliff hanger had less relative importance to the rest of the show. If a show like the X-Files was going to get cancelled on a cliff hanger of the "main story", it didn't really matter because 9 out of 10 episodes didn't involve the main story and therefore wouldn't be retroactively devalued by a cliffhanger cancellation.
Your understanding that problem solving has to do with "steps" is the correct one in my opinion.

Also, with data driven approaches, the model isn't necessarily learned in any meaningful way. If you train with certain inputs to get certain realistic looking outputs, you can build sophisticated parrots or chameleons. That's what GPT and stable diffusion are: compressed knowledge bases to get an output without a knowledge model. (No, language models are not knowledge models).

Thinking, rational or otherwise, requires causal steps. Since none of these data driven approaches have even fuzzy causal models, they require memorizing infinite universes to see if search can find a particular universe that's seen this before. That's why they're not intelligent and never will be. An intelligent animal only needs one universe and limited experiences to solve a problem because it knows the latent structure of the problem and can generate approaches. Intelligent entities, unlike these autistic Rain Man automatons, do not need to memorize every book in the library to multiply two large numbers together.
I wish Awk had built-in csv (with quotes, commas inside quotes, etc) parsing support...

GOT wasn't just rushed, it did a full 180 on several main characters in the span of a couple of episodes.
It’s really not. The message is true and important, but the writing itself is saccharine and overly sentimental. I came away knowing very little about the driver and his passenger. The details that were provided were flat played into tired and hackneyed tropes.
I don't know about wasabi, but birds in general are completely immune to capsaicin, the substance that makes hot peppers hot. I grow a variety of hot peppers here in Brazil and the sabiá (a Brazilian songbird) particularly likes the pimenta malagueta, a little chili equivalent to the ones used in Thai food... I've seen a single bird consume like 50 of these small and very hot peppers in 10 minutes.
And then, like now, the beauty of the state — or the lure it has, for it seems to be something more than just beauty — brings ever more people. Earthquakes, floods, fires, droughts; where do I sign up?!

A sequential one-bit adder, like in pocket calculators or earliest computers with delay-line memory, could likely be invented in the process.
Except what? Tried what? What are you responding to?

Edit: If you are responding to the part about accepting T&C on a Mac, I meant in the iCloud system settings panel, and not through the browser. (Though I would also expect that to work. The fact that it doesn't just underscores that this is a dumb bug.)
Personally, I've just cooled off on the whole episodic format.

The emotional toll of the cliffhanger, the hours of pseudo-psychological filler (sorry, "character exploration") in-between bursts of narrative progression, continuously going from one macguffin to the other... It all takes so much time, and usually for little reward.
Cloudflare has two different analytics products which makes things pretty confusing. "Web analytics" is always free and under Analytics > Web Analytics at the account level. That's the one you want, not "traffic analytics" under Analytics > Traffic in the individual website.

But yeah it is very basic.. Visits, pageviews, referrer, browser, RUM metrics and a few other things. Tools like Plausible give you some more features but still a lot less than GA3. Tools like Piwik Pro give you something equivalent to GA3. Product analytics tools like Posthog give you something more like GA4.
To me this makes a lot of sense, and really is the reason why most things are by default insecure.

Most people who are building their own computer are not going to be an expert in UEFI and secure boot (some may have never even heard of these things).
These people are almost guaranteed to need to install their own OS.
So if they try, and it "doesn't work", they are going to need tech support or most likely return the motherboard as defective.
Thus it makes more sense to make the default permissive.

On the other hand, someone who does want to run secure boot securely is probably an expert, so they can probably figure out how to actually turn it on and harden their setup. As long as you can lock stuff down, having these people jump through a few more hoops seems like a reasonable trade-off.

(Also FWIW, most pre-builts or integrated devices do have real secure boot enabled, since the expectation is that users of these will likely never need to install an OS that won't work with a strict secure boot enforcement policy.)
Yeah, I remember messing around with Mode-X and SVGA video modes, then writing code to plot lines, circles, Wu pixels, Anti-aliased lines and all that stuff.

Years later at different jobs I was able to use the accumulation method used in Bresenham's line drawing algorithm to do some neat integer based graph drawing and scaling.
Yeah, they are like $5. I have one that runs my desk lamp that runs 8 to 5.
Not vim but vi, it was fast enough for me on machines with less than a dozen MHz, probably high single digit.

However we have many more layers now. I had a 80x24 serial tty exchanging ASCII characters with the computer back then.
If you want to have some fun, implement code to do arbitrary precision arithmetic the way the CADET did it. It's remarkably simple and reliable.
Mindhunter. I'm hoping they pick that one back up. The long thread in that series is BTK, which they teased throughout the existing episodes.

Apparently Netflix never "got the numbers" they wanted, which disappoints the hell out of me; it is some of the best work Netflix has ever done.

Netflix made its name picking up content that had consistently moderate viewership over a long period of time, rather than looking for boom and bust blockbusters.

That was their whole schtick - find undervalued series that had moderate viewership numbers on original airing, and then bank on those shows continuing to draw viewers over time.

That seems to run entirely counter to the current strategy, they fell straight into the trap of entering the production game, and it turns out they just aren't that good at it.

Which is a shame. They're undermining their own products dramatically by not letting stories wrap up. Their bread and butter shows don't exist if they've been cancelled because they weren't booming hard enough on opening weekend.

I watch a lot of shows, but a catalog of cancelled season ones is a hard "no" from me. Not interested, not going to pay for it. I finally cancelled because of the ads, but the outrageously large number of dead in the water shows in their catalog made it a lot easier.
I watched the first two seasons of Barry and haven't started the 3rd... I'm just not sure I want to see these characters continue to fuck everything up. I get it's the black comedy ethos but man did it get hard to watch.
The magic that makes Nim’s print / repr functions really neat is the `fieldPairs` iterator that works on any type. It’s a comptime function to iterate fields of a type, very handy and very simple to use. It can work on any type unlike Rust’s Debug macro which only works on types you own and can annotate.

"I think that's why so many people have this unreasonable urge to travel."

It might also be, because most of human history, we have been (half) nomads and settling in one place for life, came much later. People went, were the food was, usually herds of animals. And women stealing seem to have been quite common, until recently (when encountering other tribes).

"The more difference, the better outcomes."

And I don't think one can generalize that, otherwise it might makes sense to try it with apes ..

I have the (maybe romantic) theory, that attractivness is no universal scale, but a sign of individual fitting (filtered out deep inside, mainly via biochemical processing aka smell). Meaning a person you fell in love on first sight, is probably a good match.
One of the problems with the power grid in third would communities is the need to constantly import coal, oil, and gas to run the power plants. And constantly import oil to run vehicles as well. So it's not like they aren't spending money already. And solar + electrified transport is cheaper then what they have now.

Electric cars are fundamentally better because developing country could just use some of the excise tax they charge on cars to buy solar panels. And the power from solar isn't subject to price shocks and interruptions like oil and gas are.

You just need a sysroot for that distribution... you actually don't want to compile ON that distribution as it makes having a consistent and modern/working toolchain a lot more difficult.

Notably, I compile for CentOS 6 (ancient, right?) on whatever the latest version of Ubuntu is--using the most recent versions of clang and rust and whatever--and simply build my sysroot using this trivial script.

https://github.com/OrchidTechnologies/orchid/blob/6958658c25...

(You can do this in some sense even easier using Docker--though in other senses it is a lot more complex as now you need docker--if you are into that sort of thing. You don't run the compiler in docker: you just install the dependency packages and then docker export the filesystem as your sysroot.)

Using this script and clang I can actually compile to target CentOS 6 on macOS (and I get the exact same binary if I use a consistent version of clang; I actually have a GitHub action that verifies that I reproduce the same binary compiling on both macOS and Ubuntu).
Mercedes GLC250 SUV - 5 seater, auto transmission.

This is poetic justice for me, as I have denigrated urban drivers of SUVs for literally decades.

I prefer smaller, more manoevrable cars such as my previous Mercedes C Class vehicles, though even they were getting larger turning-circles and being more unwieldy towards the end.

My wife uses a mobility-scooter that is able to be disassembled into four pieces. That took up so much space in the trunk/boot and back-seat of our C-Class car that we were reduced to a two-seater in practical terms. That meant we had to enlarge our storage and thus the unwanted SUV.

Back in the 80s-90s I used to drive a manual SAAB 900i Combi-Coupe. Loved it. Had that car for 14 years.
> not much of a game changer until the generated dialogue can actually change the game.

And until they figure out how to give GPT a bit more personality. It sounds like a customer service rep in most interactions.

Nothing, it was a mistake that some are attempting to explain away as everyone elses fault for misunderstanding.

I did the same thing as the other poster, went to 4.x with KDE then promptly left as I fundamentally disagreed with so many of the things they were doing. I ended up at i3 and haven't looked back. KDE is a lot better than it was back in those days, but i3 is so perfect for me I'll never be a full time KDE user again. Not because I hate them, but because they're not i3.
Such a great show. I was so sad when I realised it stopped at season 2.
Media on the whole does a pretty good job of making any valid criticism into issues of "extremists" from the opposite political affiliation. The only people who would ever be dissatisfied with the current state of society and want change are clearly bad and radicalized, so just roll over and wait 26 more months to vote. Stability is mainly something which benefits the billionaires who own all major media outlets, if people start protesting stock prices might go down!
I got about 50% of the way through the books and lost interest. That's not usual for me.
I wish developers talked and asked each other for help more. Not just juniors but seniors too.

This idea that we're all supposed to solve problems in a shared code base completely independently and we're wasting time helping/asking for help is poisonous.

Things get solved lot faster when someone comes in with a different perspective. And it keeps communication going.

Of course maybe everyone else is a lone genius and I'm the problem. Maybe. But I kind of doubt it.
The chosen philosophy is “we don’t want to run out of money before we run out of heartbeats”.

Having money left over is a by-product of that, not a primary goal. If the kids don’t want the money in the end, they’ll figure out some way to dispose of it I’m sure.
