I love my PS5, as I loved all the playstations, although the xbox 360 saw more use from me for that era. I also game on the PC, but generally I find consoles get more gaming use, because I'm in front of a PC screen all day for work, so it's nice to sit on a coach and play games in the evening. The game catalog is huge, and older games these days are well worth playing. I'd say I'm at about 90% console gaming to 10% pc gaming at this point (no mobile gaming), although it can vary a lot over the years.

Also, a console just works (99% of the time), and I don't have to fiddle with drivers and editing config files and the other random crap that can crop up with even the best PC games.

All off these (and more) benefit from AVX512. Why are you going so far out of your way to be dismissive of this?
This is like comparing bikes, cars and motorcycles, saying "the car has won, motorcycle sales have stagnated - get your head out the sand". You cannot just change "Console" to "Computing device that can run a game" because you think it is a better way to look at it. You also count Microsoft as PC + Xbox but not Sony as PlayStation + Phones + TVs etc. all of which has apps and games, making this an extremely arbitrary definition.

There's no doubt that a Console is far from the same experience most people have with a PC or a phone. Different, not better. Why do you think most that identify as a gamer own both a Console, a phone and a PC if it is basically the same experience? I own one of each for the exact same reason I own both a car a motorcycle and a bike: They are not at all the same or even related outside having wheels.
You're right. Those little babies born with pre-existing conditions, denied coverage by insurance companies, would never defend the ACA.
It's not plain to me that ligatures might conflict with smallcaps. Certainly feels there's no good reason for that to be the case.
First of all, those were during the World War years so the context matters a lot.

Overall, if you had just said to only put your money in lower risk stuff vs index funds that would make sense to me too depending on how risk averse you are. But to put 20% in something like bitcoin just seems like a weird mix of safety and gambling. I would like to see some strong numbers backing this up in the past 50 years or so where this would be more profitable AND less risky compared to the index funds.
Now we have a viable model that will allow us to study disappointment in fish.
For visual design, I can see the value; a lot of people say Affinity is pretty great. The bummer for me is that there remains no great alternative for video. FCPX Resolve, by itself, is good to great, and Resolve's CG package, Fusion, is okay (don't love the editing model), but there isn't the kind of tight integration between components that makes bouncing between tools pleasant to use. Throwing a PSD into an AE composition and having a text-templated instance of the AE comp within a Premiere timeline is something I just never think about, while having to manually go bake intermediaries drives me up the wall.

This week I tried to make a go of switching from Premiere to Resolve for real(tm), and I lasted like...two hours. Finding myself saying "but where are the buttons?" was maybe the first time I have felt truly old trying to use a computer. Adobe can have my $30/mo forever, I guess.
> Creating a SQL schema with a "Secrets" table and maybe some audit logging and organizational extras should take a seasoned developer ~30 minutes.

No it would take a junior developer 30 minutes; a seasoned developer would look at you sideways and recommend self-hosting something like Bitwarden.
I jumped ship to Bitwarden at the beginning of the year, and haven't logged into LastPass in some time, although I forgot to delete my vault and account.

I suppose there's some assurance that if I'm indefinitely locked out of the account then at least hackers are, too?

Is this really a bad thing, or a problem at all? Some researchers found that increased scale resulted in increased utility. LLMs aren't generalized AI, but they seem to be good at some stuff.

Their must intrinsically be some limits to this approach. But that doesn't mean it is a problem or that LLMs cant serve some useful role. Just consider for a moment if we could train an LLM on the combined experiences of all humans that have ever lived. No one is going to suggest that we must go bigger.

The revenues in mobile gaming overwhelmingly come from predatory in-app item sales. They aren't in the business of selling games to people who like playing games, they're in the business of psychologically exploiting people who are vulnerable to compulsive behaviours. The industry isn't shy about this - they openly brag about their pursuit of "whales" and their use of psychological manipulation. Frankly, everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves.

So how does one find high quality games on mobile? There's so much crap out there on the Play store, it's really hard to pick games. I don't care much about the genre or the price, I just want to play some high quality, low bullshit (no ads, spam, loot boxes, etc.) games.

Is there a website that curates games?

Conclusion: Business leaders make lousy engineers.

They refuse to defer to others. They can't resist enforcing their judgment even in situations where their expertise is lacking. And never mind the fact that business concerns often conflict with safety which calls their judgment into question.

This is essentially what happened with the Boeing 737 Max and it is what happened here too. In both cases, repeated warnings were ignored, overruled and dismissed by business leaders with minimal engineering experience and people died --- as a result of arrogance.

Safety is only "pure waste" when your main focus is sales and marketing and your judgment is compromised.
> That is so strange. In the corporate world it is always easy and straightforward to say no to higher ups. They always accept a no gracefully. /S

I know, the grass is always greener on the other side.

> Look for a middle ground. Do not make things worse if you cannot make them better. You will get small wins and wins will become bigger with time. And remember how it felt so you do not repeat the same behavior when you are at the top.

This is what I'm currently trying to do. Unsurprisingly, it takes more effort (time and energy) to solve this problem given constraints (the constraints being: make advisor happy + find a middle ground). It'd be much easier if the constraints were not there, or if I could just drop the second constraint.
If your rope fails while climbing, it’s almost always user error (using the wrong gear, using damaged gear, risky placements, etc).
Dear junior developers, a rubber stamp code review is a waste of your time and mine, and since it counts as an approval in the build integration, it makes the code and product worse by taking the place of a real review.

Please instead flag things you don't understand and ask for an explanation. It's worth a senior developer's time to think about it, and either provide some useful training, or more often than they might be comfortable with, ask themselves some hard questions. Your fresh "junior" eyes are a feature as often as a bug, and see things that the seniors don't anymore.

I'd much rather have a junior give me a code review with, uh, less sophisticated criticisms, than one that assumes I know what I'm doing. It's at least a sign that they have paid attention.
Given the volume of stuff that goes through the postal system, it's surprising this doesn't happen more often.
/run is useful for configuration generation. Sure, you could maybe poke an API and have it do the right thing, but if "everything is a file" then why not put your configuration in a file? That way it's easier to see what's actually happening.

Systemd is also a useful demonstration of how to show people where configuration comes from -- `systemctl status <unit>` will include a list of all the files found during lookup, and `systemctl show <unit>` will give you the resolved unit configuration including all the defaults.
I bought a Switch last month to play BotW (yeah, I'm a bit behind). I kind of regret starting to play BotW on it (85 hours so far; it's a good game, with some flaws like all games, but good). The framerate is just absolutely horrid in parts, even in 720p, and I'm just not getting used to it; even after 85 hours, I wince every time it goes down to 10 fps. If I could move over my progress to CEMU I would.

If they haven't improved performance in TotK (or Switch 2 is out by then), I will play that game emulated on a PC.

Super Mario Odyssey framerate was better. Not great, but not "did Nintendo seriously consider this to be good enough to release?".

Pink Floyd kind of got their first flush of success doing gigs with an innovative light show created by their landlord, who was a lecturer at Hornsey Art College. In the '70s they started projecting films behind the band as they played. Three of their eight pre-Dark Side albums (including Zabriskie Point here) were soundtracks. Us and Them started off as a piece for the Zabriskie Point soundtrack, where I believe it was supposed to be used as kind of ironic counterpoint to footage of riots.

So in a way it's not too surprising their music makes a good soundtrack. They (well mostly Roger) always had the full audiovisual experience in mind.

Edit: The instrumental section of Money is based on the live soundtrack they did for the moon landing in 1969.

Thank you, your point is the exact one I argue against in my post, which makes me happy I wrote it. No, junior developer reviews AND approvals are not a waste of time. If your code can’t be understood by a junior, it shouldn’t be considered as good enough to be merged.
> Because of censorship and 1 person running the server deciding what's right or wrong for the rest. Because those with many people on their servers having more power to decide what's right or wrong.

I've not used mastodon much so maybe I misunderstood it but isn't the whole point of these federated things that you can simply join a different server if you don't like the moderation of the one you're on? And aren't there a few big servers (like mastodon.social, which i think is the "main" instance?) with pretty unopinianated and light moderation?

> And personally, it's full of transvestites and gay people, who tell you, no rub in your face that they are.

How are they rubbing it in your face? Does mastodon force content on you from people you don't follow? I thought it was a Twitter type thing where you see messages from people you choose to follow?
Well, the serial comma is demonstrably preferable, full stop, regardless of your appeal to Australian Authority.

Once a CA gives out one bad certificate, they are done. If your risk profile includes someone being willing to throw away an entire CA to get to you, then you should worry about it. For 99.999% of people and companies, I don’t imagine that is a reasonable concern.

I needed to update /etc/resolv.conf under RedHat the other day and I was surprised by how much this has changed. You don't edit /etc/resolv.conf directly anymore because it's maintained by Network Manager[1]. Instead you edit either one of the interface configuration files and tell NM (via nmcli) to reload it, or you use nmcli to update the interface config file.

Fine, I can deal with that.

What really surprised me were a couple programs that needed to be restarted to see the updated /etc/resolv.conf as they apparently don't use glibc for DNS resolution. I used lsof to figure out what was sending DNS requests to the old name server IPs.

It turned out to be osqueryd and Apache Traffic Server.

1. There are various ways to put /etc/resolv.conf back under manual control if you don't want NM to maintain it.

I’m aware of some interesting things being done with iPads for hospital patients who suddenly find it difficult to communicate – eg in intensive care or post-operatively.

Very domain-specific though, not general purpose. Revolutionary perhaps in care terms but not for accessibility more broadly.
It is important to be specific with qualifiers in this. The scientists "fell ill". Local hospitals became unusually busy. This is not all that unusual and relates to the common practice of wearing masks which has been well established for many years. It is quite possible that was a bad flu event that preceded the COVID-19 outbreak.
Instead of widening the perceptual horizons as traditionally believed, psychedelics rather seem to 'switch off' certain sections of the mind - particularly the cautious area that frets over the idea of dabbling with such compounds. Those that are household names have a knack for quieting this voice of doubt first. Paradoxically, the subjective experience of liberation is born from selective self-silencing.

IIRC, there's an important (heh) exception to that: user stylesheets. Without the "!important" override on the user stylesheet, the site stylesheet wins; with the "!important" override on the user stylesheet, the user stylesheet wins, even if the site stylesheet also had an "!important" for that rule.

I don't like any of this. Your passwords need to be with you, not rely on a server.

I use keypass, it stores all passwords in a file, encrypted. The file can be stored in Onedrive/Dropbox/ etc.

But the point is, if all the aervers in the world go down, I have all my passwords in a local copy. There is also an android app.

The type of storm that doesn’t just pop up.

Another good place for that is the --version output, if your --version is one of those verbose multi-line ones (instead of a basic single-line output).
I'm sure that's a factor, but having slow tests makes it much harder to notice when you have made the actual code slower.
I assume you're asking about classical Von Neumann or ARM architectures and not something else more exotic. I think you'll want to check out a course on Computer Architecture, to understand the basic building blocks of classical computing - from transisters to logic gates, registers and memory chaches, binary processing, instruction sets, machine and assembly programming to higher level programming languages. I think at the transister level and below (to the atomic level - the shrinking and increasing of the speed of transisters that's been a driving force behind Moore's law, bridges into the field of materials science).

I took a course a few years ago - and forgotten most of what I learned, but at one point in time I did have a basic understanding of the full chain from basic building blocks to a general computing architecture that a human can interface with to execute a virtually infinite number of computations was once. Writing programs in assembly was particularly enlightening - you can trace assembly dirrectly to hex and individual bits!

It still feels like magic, so I'd be interested if someone has a good link for a refresher.

I bought an xbone a few years after I quit wow and got rid of my gaming PC. I don't game much any more but when I want to, I have xbone. 8 years of an appliance that plays games for like $300.

> > remember that you are the PROJECT manager and not dev manager. don't overstep your position.

This suggestion really applies to both, but I just wanted to note that article is talking about product managers, and specifically recommends against making them project managers.
Actually, why not both?

Why not have files and an database like interface for them?

Even better, databases normally provide a query plan explanation, quite like what is demanded here.
To give an example of what you discuss:

My career has been seriously hampered by quitting a particular project early in my PhD. That project was intractable as far as I'm concerned. My PhD supervisor never treated me the same after quitting that project. I had to get advice from a third-party in my department to get my PhD supervisor to agree to let me graduate. My PhD supervisor refuses to provide me a reference now.

I wasn't able to get a research job immediately after my PhD, and worked as an underpaid bureaucrat (not doing research) for about 2 years before starting my current government contractor research position. My job security is comparable to that of a postdoc and I have worse benefits than most postdocs, but I am paid better.

I recently applied to a job at a national lab, and I could tell that the interviewer was alarmed when I said that my PhD supervisor refuses to provide me a reference.

The important difference between academia/research and non-research industry is that while saying no can jeopardize your current job in both cases, in academia/research saying no is far more likely to jeopardize your future jobs due to the heavy reliance on detailed reference checks.

If that is true, time would be a de-synchronization primitive

The conversation is synchronization here. Synchronization is unambiguous communication.
I don't really play mobile games. The one exception I have is chess. LiChess is a fantastic free app that has standard chess and a half a dozen different variations. Even has an offline mode where you can play the computer or play against someone locally on the same device.

The problem with mobile gaming today is that it's such a cash cow that everyone has jumped on the lootboxes/microtransactions bandwagon.
