The tricky thing about data is that the world constantly changes. A downloaded Wikipedia has a lot of value, but it does grow stale. And it has the advantage of being a repository of relatively static facts in a way that, say, a search engine is not.

Search engines (and I suspect a ChatGPT-style engine, if one wants to talk about it about current events, things currently available, or other topics of the day) have to be continuously refreshed to be relevant. So many things that those engines are used for frequently (including the keyword "ChatGPT" itself) had no definition months ago, let alone an inaccurate definition.

Most data isn't static like code; it must be continuously re-invested in to stay relevant.
Foundational principles that have been debated and continually established since civilization began should stay mostly static. Policies may change, but not the principles.

Loop unrolling for loops that have a static or range bounded number of iterations is a good example. Others include constant expression evaluation, dead code elimination, common subexpression elimination, and static function inlining.
No, I played CS1.6 and I wouldn't consider playing without my headphones.

I didn't have a surround sound system because I was a teenager, but I knifed thousands of noobs coming around the corner wall in iceworld because they were too dumb to walk.

I'm guessing it was an identical effect to the surround sound, it was basically radar. You could hear people across nearly the whole iceworld map.

I think this is at the heart of what is driving me nuts with COD lately. I never touched war zone except to prove to myself that I hate it. You can still play COD the old fashioned way (but even this sucks now).

Either make an arena shooter or make a BR. Trying to make a game that fits both genres at the same time is what is probably ruining everything. Gameplay that feels good and balanced on a 100m^2 map is not going to feel the same on a 100km^2 map.

well, my anecdote was supposed to demonstrate that I have a direct lived experience where hardware made a significant difference, everyone knew it made significant difference, and both that knowledge and the implications of that knowledge were part of the social game, because money and prestige was riding on it.

it is also from the world that's entirely unconnected to the American obsession with "buying the best skiis, recommended by the skiing daily magazine, before ever getting to a slope", which is a real thing, and I agree with you there.

The problem is that making the government responsible (and liable) creates an incentive for government employees and departments to overreact and treat every situation as harshly as possible, because if they were ever to be reasonable and lenient, and a child were to be abused later, they would then be blamed.

The only real solution is to take that sort of administrative discretion out of the hands of as many government employees as possible. Leave that discretion to judges.

The problem is that whenever these types of abuses go to court, the judicial branch has consistently given wide amounts of discretion to the executive branch of government unless the legislature has explicitly limited it. We need more legislators that are willing to dictate the limits of power to the executive, but that just hasn't happened in a long time.

> There's almost no downside here, at worst you get the updates as quickly as you would in any other distro.

There could easily be downside. It's free for 5 machines for now. However, the big risk IMO is if relying on Ubuntu for security patches becomes a normal thing.

In fact, it could even go as far as having Ubuntu make deals with software developers to maintain security patches for software past a certain lifecycle (ex: 2-3 years). By doing that, Ubuntu could discourage projects from running their own LTS programs and all of a sudden Ubuntu would become the only viable LTS distro.

Open source means nothing. Whoever controls the development effort is the one who decides how open software really is. If Ubuntu manages security patches for all the LTS packages, the only choice of LTS distro is Ubuntu and there's no way on earth they'll keep any kind of significant free offer available if that happens.

To me, Rainbow 6: Siege was a good follow-up. They solved a lot of the issues I had with CS (and COD), like stupid movements using jump, nothing to do after you die. They integrated some inevitable things into the gameplay itself: peeking pixels became a legit strategy, and now you can even make your own peekholes because of the destructible environment. You can use fixed and mobile cameras to gather intel, and share that with teammates, even after death. And the gadgets add a lot to game too, in regards to play style. I guess R6 it's not as sterile feeling as CS, so I understand if someone likes one and not the other, but to me, it renewed the fun for a good 700 hours.
The money quote:

> The trillion-dollar-coin concept first emerged in 2010 before the first big Obama-era debt ceiling fight. A musing in the comments of a popular blog on economics and finance about the viability of minting such a coin to create money out of thin air and avoid default spurred a debate about creative ways to avoid an economic catastrophe.

Right! Unlike the money that the Fed creates from their vast storehouse of mysterious if undoubtedly far less ephemeral stuff!

"a proper type checker goes far beyond that"

But if it can't catch 60% of all errors and it can't.
Then it's worse than dynamic typing.

This isn't complicated. If you are excluding performance, then static typing is inferior to dynamic typing. It's that simple. No ifs, no buts.

I do write statically typed code but that's for performance critical code. Since I've got good experience of both, I understand the differences very well.

I assure you that using static typing in a scripting language like Python is a mindnumbingly stupid thing to do.

You can say so about any drug lol. What is your point?
This is a key point that I worry is hard for modern users of the Internet to wrap their heads around:

In that era, TV channels were a tightly-regulated, very-rare resource, and as a result the information carried upon them rapidly diffused to everyone because there simply weren't that many alternatives to turn to for information. In terms of the attention economy, attention was relatively cheap if you could get onto the channel; you had a completely captive audience with few distractions if they were using television at all.

LeVar Burton once opined in an interview on NPR's Fresh Air that the most special thing about the miniseries Roots was that because of its timing, it's one of the last dramatizations on racism that more-or-less an entire generation of Americans experienced. Once cable brought the number of channels from dozens to hundreds (and HDTV later pushed it into the thousands), the cost to fixate a message in front of every household skyrocketed. There's more content than ever to experience, but the odds of any two people having experienced similar content have commensurately gone way down.

It's entirely possible that the era of the cultural touchstone is nearly over (though firms like Disney certainly make a go of it with 300-million-plus dollar movie investments).
Dealing with aggression using privacy doesn't seem to be solving the problem though, nor it is a solution? You shouldn't live your life hiding. We need privacy because of X, underlies the assumption that X is something different and unwanted, perpetuating that idea it's trying to protect. If everything was public then it would more easily become part of reality, part of normal. Hiding in privacy just keeps the problem going.

Moderation in large part *must be about the bias towards protecting vulnerable people. Vulnerable people by definition are more likely to be targeted AND have less power, meaning moderation is serving a protective function against dominance. This will always be subjective, but there's almost certainly evidence in abundance that some kinds of people, typically with less cultural status, are more targeted and more at risk of harm by being targeted.
This kind of predatory guardianship is what "I Care a Lot" was based on (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Care_a_Lot). It's disturbingly frequent in a few states, I forget which, that have the right combination of laws and (lack of) oversight.
I had trouble parsing your earliest comment, so I only tried to address the incremental backup concern. I may not have understood the conversation, but it seemed like you claimed that a filesystem level backup of a clone was not going to produce incremental backup IO in practice.

A periodic fetch into a persistent cloned repo will be incremental unless the upstream is doing something crazy with frequent branch deletions and repacks. In practice, most upstream repos I encounter behave relatively monotonically. They accumulate new commits and branch/tag heads but do not often create garbage or need repacking.

A periodic backup of the cloned repo will also be incremental if using an appropriate tool like restic or rclone-copy. Also, since the clone only changes during the fetch, you can serialize these in one periodic job and be confident that you are making a consistent snapshot of the repo.

The advantage of this approach is its simplicity. It is easy to reason about and easy to work with the backups to restore a repo without having to learn about other tools. It's the kind of thing I could feel comfortable setting up and running for years on end with little supervision.

A more sophisticated approach that integrates with git hooks, e.g. to do event-driven rather than periodic backup, is plausible but I think could quickly get in the way of itself. And if working with a hosted upstream, you would need to integrate with their proprietary hooks, e.g. GitHub actions, and deal with other restrictions of the hosting environment. Such a solution likely brings new failure modes and may not be a worthwhile tradeoff...

> it shouldn't be a secret that foster homes are the most dangerous homes for kids.

Most families are good to their children. Foster homes only get the worst: most kids never go to a foster home. That means kids that are harder than normal to care for and thus their parents are also also going to get frustrated (in fact they often have: many kids in foster homes the parents just need a break), and in turn means the foster parents will face the situations where they are more likely to lose their temper in a bad way - but the real parents have likely done the same. There are also kids who are abused by their parents, and that abuse is likely to make those kids worse than normal kids.

As a parent I can assure you that taking care of normal kids is hard. I know other foster parents: enough to know that foster kids are even harder. Most foster parents are doing the best they can, but the job is a lot harder than normal kids.
