Hm even my non tech classmates in college knew the difference between chrome and safari. They care about speed and features they get used to (e.g. chrome password manager follows you to your phone, syncs history across devices). To be an absolute non user of such features to the point of not caring is not what I’d consider typical.

What's the difference between an anycast IP and a unicast IP?

Answer: Nothing. They are just IPs.

Using a combination of Anycast and DNS is going to give the best control over steering http traffic. Particularly if you own a few prefixes and can do clever addressing tricks.

"If Russia invades, that means tanks and troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2, we will bring an end to it." -- Joe Biden, Feb 2022, with the German's Chancellor standing next to him! [1]

So at the very least the US thought that they indeed had control over that "major NATO ally" and could make thinly veiled threats to their face. Why you think that the US would be above sabotage on a matter of strategic national interests is unclear.

This story is a broken record that just repeats over and over again in different forms and industries. It follows the general form of:

1. Develop some profitable product

2. years later people report horrible effects

3. Big co denies and stalls for years/decades

4. Hundreds of thousands /millions of people are negatively effected

5. Science eventually overwhelms any counter argument and product in taken off market

6. Go back to step 1 with different product

Some other examples:

1. Big tobacco

2. Teflon(PFOAs) [1]

3. Generic drugs [2]

4. Regular drugs [3]

No, because the post is a post-mortem analysis. If ISPs are going to block this they will have to do so in live, and as presented I don't think they can do that without a disruption.
Microsoft never really revealed the 'real reasons' why it was canceled; so most people are left to speculate. My personal take is they decided it would become a tech-support nightmare to talk regular users through fixing a problem if the underlying database had an issue.

Same deal as with that Bundy/Overpass standoff between militia types and the Feds a few years ago. The Feds showed up, saw the number of men with rifles, turned around and went home. Mission accomplished right? The militia guys all pat each other on the back and congratulate themselves on scaring off the feds. Except they then get quietly arrested one by one over the next few months. Those arrests never become big headline stories like the initial standoff, so you still have fools today who think those standoff tactics are viable.
I've heard it said that in Japan management seeks to fix the problem when there's a failure rather than fixing the blame. I have no idea if that's true of the Japanese but I know it's true in America. And once the blame is fixed then the person blamed is ejected from the organization and that's considered a fix to the problem. So why would anyone volunteer to talk about failure when that is the status quo?
Even in areas with good strong unions, there isn’t some kind of company wide protection. If the company doesn’t fit in the market, it goes away. I’m not weaving some fantasy tale, these systems exist in other countries that still have free markets and profitable companies.

I think maybe the problem is that you seem to be classifying a highly specific concrete instance of a very broad abstract class as being equal to the abstract class itself (and thus: equal to all possible subordinate concrete classes).

>> how about we develop something similar for internet arguments, a term that is mutually agreed upon in advance, and when uttered by a participant it kicks off a well documented (and agreed upon) protocol where all participants downgrade System 1 thinking to zero and upgrade System 2 thinking to 11

> This used to be Godwin's law.

In this case, playing of the Godwin's Lawcard would invoke my recommended process, as opposed to playing of the Godwin's Lawcard being an instance of my recommended process.

> Except by the time that's triggered, your System 2 thinking dialed you to 11 almost always tells everyone it's time to leave that discussion.

Again, this claim would invoke my process, and would be accompanied by a reminder that it isn't actually possible to read minds or the future, it only seems like it is possible when running on System 1 heuristics.

But then, both my logic and intuition suggests to me that what's going on here is that you and I are talking past each other, and if we were to eliminate all of the numerous flaws in communication (for example: your usage of "the" trigger condition instead of "a" trigger condition[1]), we'd discover we don't actually disagree very much. But ain't no one got time for that, under current protocols.

[1] A common response to this style of complaint ("pedantry") is that one should simply assume [the correct intended] meaning - but again, this has a dependency on mind reading, which is a false premise (that seems true during realtime cognition).

I asked it again (in a new context) and got a partially right answer as well:

> In C++, calling pop_back() on an empty vector results in an undefined behavior. An std::vector is a dynamic array that grows and shrinks automatically. pop_back() function is used to remove the last element of the vector. But if there are no elements in the vector, calling pop_back() will result in an error. Therefore, it is advisable to always check if the vector is empty before calling pop_back().

I wonder what sort of scores we would be seeing for each of these series of tokens (including those returned for roel_v). Is the aggregate score (for lack of a better term) higher for the initial reply I saw greater than the scores for these other replies?

I think the movie business is changing, but I doubt it’s dead. Whether that means change from a business or a creative perspective, I think the answer is “yes”.

Oslo seems to have mean winter temps about ~10 degrees warmer (~23 degrees in DSM on average vs ~32 degrees in Oslo). It's a little hard to compare those tools (at least I didn't find a good way to get precise mean data on the Oslo side). And I suspect that Norway is one of the coldest countries in Europe while Iowa is not a particularly code state in the US.
There's an ongoing discussion at [1, 2] which highlights an important difference between GDNative and GDExtension in terms of what the developers expect them to be used for. A lot of people were using GDNative as a way of writing game logic in other programming languages (particularly I've seen this with Rust), but GDExtension seems to be designed to allow people to write editor plugins (e.g. things like a voxel node type, or a custom GUI tool). Each pligin currently seems to provide a custom Node in its own right, not the ability to hook into existing nodes.

This is why at the moment, you cannot live-reload a compiled GDExtension library, as the assumption is that it's a product that being provided to the user of the editor, not something which the game developer is directly creating.

I think there might be some mechanisms/hooks to allow this to work as wanted, but it has to work quite differently.

It's unavoidable that too many disk failures in quick succession lead to data-loss. For example if you store two copies, your durability rests on being able to detect a disk failure and create another copy, before the sole remaining version dies as well.

This is awesome news! We've been using meilisearch in production for a few months now and we're more than happy with its reliability. Their work of the last few months really paid off, as the search speed and especially the indexing speed has increased a lot thanks to their efforts.

> As someone who leads a team working on a game project using an old, custom engine we have a quiet desire to switch to a different engine.

Curious about the reasoning behind this? Has your engine had good technical leadership, or is it tacked together based on need? (If I were starting a studio today, I'd strongly prefer build an engine for our teams from the ground up, but that's certainly counter to the intuition of most, and likely inadvisable.)

As a builder on the team of one of the largest deployed Godot projects, it is certainly effective and I'm incredibly glad exists—I am very happy to use it, but it's not without its pain points. I rate it significantly better than Unity, a fair bit worse than Unreal (but ), open source is a major benefit (we have our own modifications), and there are some peculiar maintainer/code/project decisions...but we can deal with it. All that said, we'll probably never be able to upgrade to Godot 4, but Godot 4 looks damn good.
I think you're letting perfect be the enemy of good.
The umlauted u is not just a u with some visual flair. "ue" instead would be a more accurate transliteration, but Tuerkiye looks... awkward.
I'll say there are ways to embrace it, but celebrating it, just that phrase, I suspect will turn off the suits who might misinterpret it.

Anyway, the way I've seen it be embraced:

* healthy incident management culture with postmortems

* teams giving internal talks/writing blogs on biggest goof ups

* coworkers buying you shit if they break something. Mind: this wasn't required, just something people did it because they felt bad. I've received many beers/whiskeys this way
Of course, the benefits of increased productivity should go to the shareholders, not the workers who increased their productivity.

It is the shareholders who are responsible for keeping the economic engine going through their smart trading and index funds.
Because people can downvote things when they simply do not like your opinion disregarding of merits.
Many companies try to signal that it's okay to try new things by celebrating them even when they aren't successful. I've been on teams like that. Nobody is happy about the failure itself, but the idea, effort, and commitment that was shown, even if it was not successful, is worth rewarding. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, a ship in harbor is safe, etc. I think this is pretty much an inarguably healthy thing to do for a company that wants to keep morale up and encourage experimentation.

Okay, I'll defend floating point numbers. The choice of floating point over decimal represents the choice of science over money. In science, it's more important to have a number system that represents everything from the infinitely small to the infinitely large, rather than one that has perfect precision. Because in nature, perfect precision does not exist. It doesn't matter what pi is to perfect accuracy because there are no perfectly round circles in reality. Only in money and mathematics do people really care about perfect precision. In the real world, precision is negotiable.

I think that's a good lesson for kids.
"The announcement warns that Microsoft will retire its current Microsoft Edge PDF engine in March 2024, a year after the new integration is released."

I thought Edge was just re-badged Chrome and that the PDF engine is whatever Google/Chromium used for rendering PDFs. Was Microsoft embedding their own, in-house PDF engine?
We don't exactly celebrate failure, but:

1) We have a culture that accepts "failures happen". People screw up, sometimes badly.
2) Imperative to this is a culture of ownership. You hide failures, your job is at risk. You own it, go public, get help, and all is well. Well, not exactly well, since there was a failure, but you get the picture.
3) Blameless post-mortems (hate that term, nobody died)
4) We do have a tongue-in-cheek slack channel for those folks who have caused a "p0", i.e. most-severe-breakage

I'd not want to work somewhere that didn't have the above; it's just part of being a mature organization.
But what did the workers doing the rest actually look like? To me, almost all companies are like that: owners own a chunk of the company and authorise salary budgets, the board decides top executive pay and employees such as executives and managers decide how to distribute the pay budget.
I think the theater business is dead, it will just take a long time.

Not at far as I know. That would require everyone to agree on one binary representation, which hasn't happened. There are tons of different fixed-point implementations out there, each with different tradeoffs. Choosing one implementation and getting all languages to implement it (so that CPU makers would bother accelerating it) would be a herculean task, IMO.

The standard is more than 70% odds of detecting a fake. If you did below 50% it would be weird because if you were more likely to think a robot is a human than an actual human, you'd just flip your prediction and be above 50%

When the electricity fails, you put on a jacket and get under a blanket and wait patiently for CMP to restore your power. Most of us don't have emergency powerless heating. Even with a supposedly unreliable electricity grid here in Maine, it's still pretty common to only have heating that requires electricity to operate. Even in the north, where it's very rural and way colder, wood stoves are still an interesting thing that only some people have.

It gets cold every year, you just get used to it. It's not hard.
