Although it’s not their usual style of game design, this is not new even for Nintendo. The first blatant instance I can recall is Pokémon Picross (2015) on the 3DS, which was free to download, but unlike normal Picross, limited how many blocks you could fill in per day—of course, you could pay real money to get more. It was really a shocking cashgrab considering how high‐quality Nintendo’s previous Picross games were.
This is some person's substack, not a professional news article.
this generalizes more broadly in fact and applies to not just parsing and validating data. very often you want to reject all problematic states so you can conveniently code the happy path assuming all preconditions are met (inputs are correct, permissions are granted, etc) using meaningful data structures free from the messiness of the real world.

it's often a matter of experience to get this nuance of programming. you just learn with time that it's very inconvenient to test for emptiness multiple levels deep in the callstack again and again and you go "why can't i just assume good data here?". and then you figure out a way to write the code so you can.
Perhaps, but my point is, the legal position is almost irrelevant. To flip it around, if ROC was clearly a legally independent entity and PRC didn't like it, this whole debacle would look the same.
Prescription drugs are barred from being imported for a different reason than quality control because non prescription drugs are allowed to be imported.
> And yet somehow they’ll remember my choice to accept while reasking every visit if I reject.

Guess what, the GDPR doesn't allow that either.
Also, while it defeats the 2FA somewhat, you can activate TOTP in your KeePass entries, obviating the need for a third authentication app.

If you really want to be superstrict, you can have one KeePass database with your passwords, and another, with a different master passwords, for your TOTPs. It's less convenient, but it still stays completely under your control.

Except for Apple, which rolled their 2FA in their own, incompatible way... for your convenience and safety, of course.

Look at the ‘Remediation and Prevention’ section for the fixes. Root cause of an incident is always one, but means to prevent it are multiple.
If you use your domain for email, you already have this problem.

This problem isn't new at all.

Would you rather have a situation of ownership with responsibility or no ownership at all?

The "free" alternative is a crypto like identity, and there's zero restitution if you lose your key. People will struggle even more with this. At least with domains there is a legal framework if you're paid up.
> Maybe they could control simultaneous large scale insurrections. But it would be wise not to be overconfident in that regard.

Why do you think they'd have to deal with any "large scale insurrections"? They easily delt with one HK, once they imposed a Mainland-style security law, because fear evaporated the protests. Those protests also didn't inspire much of a response in the Mainland. They also didn't have to deal with on in Xinjiang, where they implemented so much direct oppression that you'd think they'd have inspired a response if one were possible.

The PRC security apparatus is strong, well organized, and its actions aren't constrained by liberal sensibilities. The PRC population is thoroughly disarmed, disorganized, and dis-informed, so cannot resist it. I think you're indulging in wishful thinking and fantasy.
These people wouldn't have a Nobel Prize if they followed mainstream ideas and were, like so many of us, sycophants of what has hitherto existed.

Using Subnet Filtering for Enhanced SSRF Protection
When browsing a listing in the App Store, I always used to jump immediately to the in-app purchases section and pattern-match for two things: “1 month, 3 months, 1 year…” in the case of apps, or “10 gems, 50 gems, 150 gems…” in the case of games. Either would be an instant disqualification.

I say “used to” as I gave up browsing the App Store.
I do work in that space. I build APIs and I use them. I built a springdoc for php so I know a bit about what I am talking about: https://github.com/cnizzardini/cakephp-swagger-bake

The Postman UX is not good on it. It's easy to get lost in tabs, they should ditch the tabs and categorize requests under the actual endpoint. There is also no way to easily save like requests and give them better names that is also searchable. It's also built on electron which means its slow and clunky.

There is nothing good in this space. Swagger would do it if they let you save requests to local browser storage and just added a history dropdown to the endpoints. I use swagger and save common requests to a file system and open them in sublime. if its just JSON payloads I am working with it does the job.
For the brakes to seize from rust you'd really need to have not used them for quite a while.

I have a Model 3 and a Subaru STI (disc brakes on all four wheels). I usually use regen in the Model 3, but not as much in the winter (it's disabled below certain temps). The brakes work fine even after exclusive regen use for months.

The STI rarely gets driven. It'll go 3-4 months of not going anywhere and frequently gets a layer of surface rust on the discs as a result. 10 minutes of driving and the rust is gone. This is a track car as well, and before it's driven it gets a safety inspection as required by the track owners. It's never failed because of surface rust on the discs.

For disc brakes to rust to the point of failure would require some serious neglect in addition to harsh conditions. At that point, rusted discs are probably the least of your concerns, as the rest of the car is likely a pile of red dust.
Perhaps because you want to import something you don’t want to rewrite? There’s a lot of tested C code out there.
If they print more money to meet their pension obligations, that causes inflation which quickly erodes the value of the payments.

So, printing money to meet pension obligations has a similar effect to reducing the amount which is paid out.

Also, I don't think many people accept Francs as currency anymore.
Nintendo has high‐profile DLC coming out this year for both Pokémon and Mario Kart.
As for sharing SQL, that's easy to do within a database using views. Across databases with possibly different data models, that's not something I personally ever want to do.
> Having to maintain older versions because you pulled out a function is much more burdensome than just keeping it in.

Right. But we're talking about group that until recently maintained 281 separate packages. "much more burdensome" is a relative term here and publishing two versions simultaneously is absolutely not that burdensome.

> I prefer the lodash way of doing things, you don't. So don't use it, that is fine.

The solution I'm proposing lets you and me both use it exactly how we want to. I honestly find this debate to be quite baffling.
> Unsafe Rust is hard. A lot harder than C, this is because unsafe Rust has a lot of nuanced rules about undefined behaviour (UB) — thanks to the borrow checker — that make it easy to perniciously break things and introduce bugs.

I don't think this is correct: Rust makes writing unsafe Rust correctly more onerous than writing C, but the actual rules for undefined behavior are the virtually same as in C: if you alias where you must not, or mutate where you must not, etc. you're in exactly the same boat.

In other words: Rust makes it hard to write unsafe Rust correctly, but no harder than writing well-defined C. The only difference is that Rust raises the safety expectations by default, making unsafe Rust look more difficult than C.
I think DLC is a matter of inflation. publishers don't want to raise sticker prices, but their input costs are actually increasing, so they need to increase prices directly somehow.

Also, expansion packs for AAA games have always been a thing, and it's always felt kind of painful to buy them.
It seems reasonable in my ~300 line neovim config :D

and yes; i know that's a ridiculous example that's not really comparable for anything significant.
>Avoiding floating point doesn't imply BCD

Parent didn't say it's a logical necessity, as in "avoid floating point ==> MUST use BCD".

Just casually mentioned that one reason BCD got popular to sidestep such issues in floating point.

(I'm not saying that's the reason, or that it's the best such option. It might even be historically untrue that this was the reason - just saying the parent's statements can and probably should be read like that).
This is incredible software. Thank you for linking to it. It has features I've long wished for in a laptop!
> It might work out for some and hit it big, or the market can go belly up and leave you in ruin

No different from living in a house you buy. Except what I recommended is a little safer. If you lose your local job because the local economy collapses, you're now stuck with a house you cannot sell, cannot rent, and that ties you to the area. Ouch!

With a rental far away, if that economy collapses it's already a small mortgage so no big deal. If your local economy collapses, you can move out of your local expensive rental and look for work elsewhere. Or even move into the cheap rental investment you just bought if that economy is doing well. Buying far away spreads your risk and is safer than buying to live in near your work.

You are sort of mistaken. I wrote a followup blog post that discusses what you are describing at some length: https://lexi-lambda.github.io/blog/2020/11/01/names-are-not-...

However, TypeScript does not really provide any facility for nominal types, which in my opinion is something of a failure of the language, especially considering that it is at odds with the semantics of `class` and `instanceof` in dynamically-typed JavaScript (which have generative semantics). Other statically typed languages generally provide some form of nominal typing, even gradually typed ones. Flow even provided nominal types in JavaScript! But TypeScript is generally also quite unsound (https://twitter.com/lexi_lambda/status/1621973087192236038), so the type system doesn’t really provide any guarantees, anyway.

That said, TypeScript programmers have developed a way to emulate nominal typing using “brands”, which does allow you to obtain some of these benefits within the limitations of TS’s type system. You can search for “TypeScript branded types” to find some explanations.
It should be noted that the pipes (loot boxes) have recently been replaced with a shop where you directly pay for things using rubies instead of gambling. [1]

That being said, the prices in the shop are quite expensive from what I've heard from people who play the game.

Ah. So you are saying that mainland China should be governed by the exiled government in Tapei. Got it.
> Meditation could perhaps improve his ability to keep the mask on

Wasn't there a recent study that suggested that mindfulness meditation is correlated with an increase in narcissism, not a reduction?
Yeah this isn't even subtle. They aren't even hiding the pointlessness of the free to play coin grind by limiting it to 300 coins per day. And I'm somewhat sure there is more math in there that a limited time offer for X days needs like 290X - 310X coins to unlock to make it look somewhat grindable but it's not.

And from a players perspective, this is even more strange. Look at how much players stick to a good racing game, like trackmania or the new zeepkist and such. Just be straightforward, bring out cosmetic DLC and some free functional thing every few month for a few bucks and it's an honest thing.
Overwhelmingly, it does "just work" as Apple intended.

However, it's often quite opinionated. So Apple's intended functionality may or may not jive with your preferences. This is neither a defense nor criticism of Apple, and it's not a defense or criticism of your preferences either.

I will point out that anecdotally, I don't hear too many people wanting their mouse's scrolling to work in the opposite direction as their trackpad. I think Apple's probably got well over 99% of the userbase covered with the defaults and opinions here. From a software/QA/UX perspective things get wild pretty quickly if you cover every < 1% use case.
I think you are mischaracterizing it. He said the guys says his disability prevents him from typing even though he tweets all day. Not saying Musk is correct here, but he didn't say what you are implying.
Mario Kart Tour makes far less money for Nintendo than Fire Emblem Heroes, which has a more traditional Gacha model (that is ironically not as pay-to-win unless you are doing high-end PvP)
People keep saying this and I just do not get it. It's just… not that bad?
This recent article made the interesting point (new to me anyway!) that 18th century France was “the China of Europe”:

https://worksinprogress.co/issue/frances-baby-bust

One in five Europeans was French. This enormous population allowed the country to effectively fight all the rest of the continent at once. But something happened in the latter half of the century that broke French demographics and halted population growth. The article makes a well-founded case as to the reasons.
“Ummm” aside, this is not at all obvious. I have an iPad from before I had kids. When setting it up, I was asked to enter my Apple ID, so I did. Then came kids and a new use for this iPad, and a second iPad, which obviously needed the same apps, and a third. No, it never occurred to me to set up appleids specifically for toddlers. It did eventually prompt me to set up a new “iPads” appleid when I switched from android to iPhone and suddenly discovered that all my text messages were being delivered to my children. But the ipads are family devices, not per-child, and if apple thinks I’m going to give each kid an appleid, they aren’t paying attention to how people actually want to use their devices.
Yup, when just a simple trivial response would do.

Either no reply & cc:HR, or "Yup, HR should get on this".

With that kind of money and power, the #1 or #2 richest person in the world, you can afford to be extremely gracious and self-effacing. And it is good for your wealth.

Instead, Elon chooses to make a public show of being a smug, petty, abusive, asshat. What an impoverished emotional weakling is on display here. Almost sad and pitiful, except for his abuse of others.
This is not just somebody being let go. Publicly grilling your employee with the mocking "what would you say you do here" on Twitter is ludicrously unprofessional, following up with trash-talking him about using his disability as an excuse for not producing.

I honestly question Musk's sobriety at this point.
Yeah! So we actually have an integration with polars. See https://github.com/DAGWorks-Inc/hamilton/blob/5c8e564d19ff23....

To be clear, the specific paradigm we're referring to is this way of writing transforms as functions where the parameter name is the upstream dependency -- not the notion of delayed execution.

I think there are two different concepts here though:

1. How the transforms are executed

2. How the transforms are organized

Hamilton cares about (2) and delegates to Polars/pandas for (1). The problem we're trying to solve is the code getting messy and transforms being poorly documented/hard to own -- Hamilton isn't going to solve the problem of optimizing compute as tooling like polars, pandas, and pyspark can handle that quite well.
Seven years late and $20 billion over budget. Slow clap.
'constexpr' and 'auto' in modern C++ can eliminate a large portion of the ugliness. In some cases it can be much more ergonomic than the equivalent Rust.
Wow thats a big assumption that the system the user is circumnavigating is legitimate. Their are 2 "official" reasons for that system, safety and patent protection. While both have their merits they don't legitimatize the current state of that system. By your definition the only difference in its status of legality is the location those drugs are purchased and used. This is a very flaky foundation for your argument of legitimacy and the outcome of theft. Most of the time any legitimate protest against what you believe is wrong elicits shouts of "theft", "illegitimate", "think of the children", "safety". This conversation would be much more productive if you provided any examples of that theft or support for why the system is legitimate to begin with.
That being said I do think the system has a place but it desperately needs overhauled and people seeking alternatives to the system aren't the problem but the canary in the coal mine signalling the weakest of our fellow citizens can't make do with the system that should be serving them.
Gambling as an industry is held up by (I don't remember exact numbers) something like 3-5% of gamblers that provide nearly 50% of the revenue.

I liked that they took all the time to decry all these dark practices, and then hit you at the end with "Do you want a summary of the presentation? Click this button!" which I'm sure requires you to sign up for their email newsletter and start on their customer pipeline.
My favorite example of French dominance is the preponderance of French spoken in War and Peace:

“Heavens! what a virulent attack!” replied the prince, not in the least disconcerted by this reception. He had just entered, wearing an embroidered court uniform, knee breeches, and shoes, and had stars on his breast and a serene expression on his flat face. He spoke in that refined French in which our grandfathers not only spoke but thought, and with the gentle, patronizing intonation natural to a man of importance who had grown old in society and at court. He went up to Anna Pávlovna, kissed her hand, presenting to her his bald, scented, and shining head, and complacently seated himself on the sofa.
Zig seems more simple than Rust.

I’m willing to forgoe certain rust features in exchange for simplicity.
People are sick and tired about constant news about Musk's latest crap antics, just like with Trump - basically, at least here in Europe, you can't go to bed and wake up without yet another newsflash of either a large Twitter outage or Elon Musk shitposting again.

I get why people are exhausted, but the desensitization is dangerous on its own - when there are no consequences, people escalate their behavior... and Musk already has intervened to make Starlink less usable for Ukraine. I don't want that to continue.

So… walmart.com?

You can use outrage if you want, but the fact remains that Amazon has nothing even approaching a monopoly, not in the legal sense and not in any layperson sense.

You’re kind of proving my point for me, that there’s no actual argument here, just general negative sentiment.
Yeah, but other publishers that aren't heavy on microtransactions reduce prices more and have better sales, too. Though the other stores they sell through probably do get a lot of money through microtransactions, that's true.

I think the main factor's that Nintendo's got this weird cheap-on-the-hardware-side-premium-on-the-software-side thing going on. Which seems to be working for them—I'm not complaining, just observing, no other companies seem to have carved out a niche quite like that, so it's a distinctive characteristic of Nintendo.
You are not seriously claiming that there are less than 6 companies that “pay well”.
I usually want to walk away from the computer. I sit at the computer enough already. If a call comes in, I want - sometimes need - to be able to walk away.

The long/short of it is, both devices 'know' about the airpods. Call comes in to phone, during an answer, having airpods switch to the phone quickly - like, under 2 seconds - is what I'm expecting. I'm not sure that's an unreasonable expectation (maybe it is?). At some point, I would think, given all the neural-core-AI stuff in the phones and ecosystem, it should know that I always switch airpods to phone to talk... maybe do it automatically at some point?

The phone now knows my daily routine, giving me traffic updates 10 minutes before I normally leave to hit the gym. Yet... the 'fill in your email' prompts on the phone suggest 'my' email address is something I have not actively used in 11 years. I don't understand the 'why' behind some of these things. If the device is going to learn... when will it learn I don't use that email address any longer? Obviously separate issue, but... as has gone on for decades - we get loads of new features, but often little attention paid to clean up and refine last year's new features.
Great idea, would love to see how this takes off
Yeah its disgraceful behavior from Musk.
Friend, I still purchase them from companies that manufacture the drugs.

Just not through the non-free American prescription drug market.
Queues Don't Fix Overload (2014)
Why couldn't it be serious? Your database already has your data so you don't have to stream it to another machine for training. If you have a developed model that needs retraining on new data, save yourself the network bandwidth (and time!) and just make the DB retrain. This doesn't replace the exploration phase of model-building but if you already know gradient descent works for you then what's wrong with this approach?
why should writing a basic data structure be an edge case? …what?
I think he meant that he didn't have an opinion. But speaking of that feature, last time I used Zoom (at height of Covid lockdown), that chat was ridiculously lacking in features, IIRC there were various issues with text not showing up / disappearing on window resizing ? (Ideally one would use a different chat program anyway.)
Pro now requires it unless you know any loopholes.
I guess Musk was asking why he claims he can't type due to his disability but yet manages to tweet all day. That's probably a lot different than claiming someone is faking a disability.

How does reconcile that against Halli clearly tweeting a lot? If he can type to tweet, surely he can type to work? And if he can't type to work, and his job requires typing, why would he stayed employed?

I know someone who can literally only move her eyes and her neck a little, and she still manages to use software to type.

Nintendo started doing DLCs after 2017. Which again makes me wonder if they're doing it because everyone else is, or some weird economics is making it unprofitable to not do it.
My friend works there. In 2021 they made $1.5 million. Last year it was less I guess with the stock drop, but still, I can't fault them.
Legitimate is such a funny word. It seeks to make objective what is in origin subjective. Who says which of the two is the "legitimate" government of China? Upon what basis? Being better at killing people in a civil war?

Or is the consent of the governed? And if so, I think saying Taiwan belongs to anyone else except the Taiwanese is a big mistake.
