I'm very happy as a software engineer, but if I could do any job in the world where money wasn't a consideration, I'd go back to bartending.

I worked a the closing shift at a very popular bar in the West village, NYC around 2007-2009. I had my regulars, the work was simple. I'd get to know them and learn about their lives. I made a bunch of friends. People I would have never met otherwise, because of social strata or just having completely different lives that wouldn't intersect otherwise.

I'm not a huge fan of smalltalk strangers, the kind that you might have with a stranger on the subway or someone at the dog park. But for whatever the reason, those weren't the kinds of conversations that were occurring late nights at the bar :)
I don't need a union, I need a lobby.

Let me know where to sign up.
There's a bridge (iron truss) near the house I grew up on that has been out of commission since flooding from Lee in 2011 eroded the foundations enough to warrant closure.

Similar to this one, which was closed in 2006, and scheduled to be replaced in 2020 - https://lebtown.com/2019/07/26/historic-inwood-bridge-off-th...
> “They spy on them because they care”

I didn't say this at all, so please don't put words in my mouth.

> Secret services got their start in Elizabethan (I) England and it does have something to do with British history

This simply isn't true. Spying goes back a long way for various reasons, both state-security related and religiously-motivated.

> Feudal societies had no notion of “citizen”.

You're correct. I should have said "subject."

> Nor was the “government” ever tasked with ‘caring’ for the poor.

Churches were part of this but the monarch was either the head of the church (post-Tudor) or were at least God's anointed Prince of that domain. There are many recorded cases of people suing their local lords for abusing their position, sometimes winning, sometimes losing. The fact is, there were clearly laws on the books to allow the big government to protect people from the small government. These cases predate Tudor England.

> which gave rise to the British “manor”, for the first time the notion of poor houses became central.

So you're saying that the state did take a responsibility to care for people.

> The other historic “British” factor here is the propensity of the English for intrigue.

This isn't exclusive to the English at all. The later British Empire became famously good at spying (all the way up to WW2 and beyond) but it's not unique to the British. Besides, the Byzantine Greeks and the Russian Empire are historically more renowned for intrigue and internal plotting. But again, they weren't the only ones doing it.
That's a false narrative, game engines don't create games that look the same. Actually one of the funny propositions (not serious) that a fellow game developer had on social media was to instead replace the default game engine logo with a custom one, just to avoid this narrative that gets repeated. Outside of asset flips, most people can't tell which engines create which games without that giant logo alerting them. Then it creates this bias of "oh yep that's a unity game!"

Shader compilation has more to do with dx12 than it does game engines. Game engines try to encourage developers to handle this appropriately, but there is no one button automatic handling yet. You would also run into this issue in your custom game engine unless you avoid vulkan/dx12 entirely.

I think fly.io believes that they can allow the bookstore to do so in less than two hours for a price where it's still important enough for the bookstore and profitable - in aggregate - for fly.io.

I just ready their maintenance page about brakes, if you live in a place that salts the roads, you need to check (clean?) and lube them every year. I don’t live in a place that uses salt, and I have a BMW anyways. And yes, they suggest to use the brakes sometimes to get the rust off.
Typically 3600-3800K. My lights are 3600K. A light meter for photography can give you color temperature, but it will always be printed on the box for your bulbs.

I wouldn’t overthink it.. just as long as you stay out of the 4500K+ range (approaching daylight,) things will look great. The warmth of the 3600K range is great — anything less than that and the warmth of the light starts to affect color rendition, anything more and the light gets bluer and harsher.

Your eyes can be the guide. But having correctly focused light at the correct intensity (not too bright for instance) is key. There are use cases for daylight balance — if you are in a mixed light situation such as a windowed or skylight with abondant sunlight, you might consider going a little cooler on the color temperature — but again, use your eyes.

It can be really fun messing with lighting and art! Good luck.
That’s interesting. So do you start the programs floating, and then put them in tiling mode sometimes? Or just avoid tiling completely? (It seems like that would be giving up a lot of the specific strengths of the window manager… but of course if it works for you, it works!)
It is bad when children are abused.

Many (most?) people feel this viscerally, regardless of personal experience of parenthood or of abuse. This why the "think of the children" rhetorical gambit works.

In general, people like to believe in fairness, and dislike it when bad things happen to those who can't be said to "deserve" it somehow. Thus child abuse is more universally reviled than the rape of adults, because it's a lot harder to justify a child "deserving" that. (See also: kicking a friendly dog as a way to show off that a fictional villain is irredeemable.)

For a non-sexual example, remember how the pictures in this article provoked a surprising upswing in horror amongst even very anti-refugee people? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/02/shocking-image...
> Communication is a means of influence.

But not only that. Or even mostly that. In my experience, it's primarily a means of cooperation.

Except when it comes to commerce, but most modern commerce is inherently manipulative in nature.
> This is the 3rd or 4th comment in this thread where someone made a similar claim.

If you believe that 4 different readers are "misunderstanding" you, perhaps the failure to communicate exists on the writer's side.

> This is basic human organizational structure. You can't have the CEO and CFO have the same exact job. You can't have two commanding officers responsible for the same subordinates in the military. Lookup "tyranny of the structureless".

Based on the frequency with which you compare parenting to hierarchical corporate or military structures, I sincerely hope you aren't a parent. It's intensely creepy and I would never want you around my kid.
We could stop all emissions tomorrow and it wouldn't be enough, because the CO2 level is already too high.
Take time off to heal. Nothing bad will happen if you graduate at 19, 20, or 21.
Theoretically, but in the situation it's hard to percieve the threat level of your perpetrator and it can affect your education long term. Often bullies will be satisfied with only mild violence or insults, and trying but failing to defend yourself can often worsen matters and more permanent solutions are off the table thanks to criminal law.
Agree. The fix is to allow them to be "free agents" like every other participant in the economy. Allow markets to determine their value.

For shoes, due to my health they get limited use and I can't really tell how durable they are but my first pair of Ahinsa shoes has lasted a couple of years without much wear. Not minimal in that they use high-tech ingredients (and are made on the other side of the world from me :/ ) but very nice shoes that seem likely to be reasonably durable (the thin sole takes some adjustment if you aren't used to it) and are produced in the EU (less labor exploitation than many places).

The most environmentally friendly would be used shoes if possible, even if they don't last that long.
I live in former USSR, and here we have the opposite problem: everything (except for psychoactive drugs; for those you need to use black market) is on sale, open market essentualy. At any neighborhood pharmacy you can buy any drug, antibiotics, anticancer you name it, no prescription required. Which is also a very bad practice.

We have a multi-region single-write-leader Postgres offering now, but "databases" means lots of things to lots of people, and the platform strategy is to build durable storage primitives that work for as many different databases as possible.

Wages only go up when employees refuse to work for less.

Sadly, people who work in video games and movies are some of the most overworked and underpaid professionals relative to the value they provide because they have been socialized to see themselves as artists who are "doing what they love" so it's about "more than the money". Which allows studios to exploit them, because for the studios it is very much about the money.

If game developers were just as willing to work for FAANG then conditions would improve for them overnight. Same as if VFX artists were willing to do mobile app UX design. But as long as they stick to only their passion, they fail to exert any financial pressure to improve wages or working conditions.

this is a natural birth and death cycle

pixar was formed by hard working, interested and enthusiastic people. they understood people, kids, and the art of storytelling

which gained them a fanbase

as the fanbase idolizes them, many people look to join their ranks. too many want it, so only the most fanatic ones have the dedication to get in.

at this point, the fanatics are what causes the downfall. they are the kid in the chocolate factory who grew up eating the candy and refuse to stop. in fact they made it into the factory for the sake of eating more.

there was no inspiration on the fanatics part to inspire anyone else, or to raise the spirits of children as was done to them. the art they produced was for themselves, not for others.

that's the gist
If the company doesn’t want you editing pages, they should be locking them down. If the pages are left open I feel that it is safe to assume the right to edit. And I’d argue that until my boss absolutely hated me.

Yes I'm a pilot too and I know what an autopilot does.

However the average user does have a different idea of this as others have pointed out, and Tesla is marketing this to the general public, not knowledgeable pilots.
The question is why? What does the double give you over a 64-bit integer? Sure when you divide and it leaves a fractional part you loose it and need to think about what happens there explicitly but you need to do the same for doubles to avoid pennies going missing and snowballing into larger errors.
Plug (but it's open source and free - and mentioned in the article!): We've been trying to address this in Kubernetes with trust-manager. [1] Trust bundles need to be a runtime concern and they need to support trusting both the old a new version of a cert to safely allow for rotation. It's pretty simple but it seems to work well!

trust-manager also supports pulling in the Mozilla trust bundle which most Linux distros (and therefore most containers) use!

Handling trust of private [2] certificates is done poorly generally across many orgs and platforms, not just Kubernetes. There are lots of ways of shooting yourself in the foot - particularly when it comes to rotating CA certificates. I think there's a lot of space here for new solutions here!

[1] https://cert-manager.io/docs/projects/trust-manager/

[2] I try to avoid "self-signed" in this use case because its literal meaning is that the certificate signs itself using its own key, which is what root certificates do. The Let's Encrypt ISRG X1 root certificate is self-signed but it's definitely not what I'd call a 'private CA'; see https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/
Seems more comparable to using a framework like Rails or rolling your own. Both can be valid decisions from a business perspective, depends on the situation, what you're trying to build and what kind of team you have.

As a guy who started 14 games (most with a custom engine, some not) and released none of them, I think both approaches can keep you from shipping in their own unique ways if you're not focused enough on _what_ you're building :)
I think you're reading their intent WAY too kindly, especially when you see them in essence say "stop having fun, life is suffering, & also women should be making babies instead of having fun." (see their part on bio-clock and maybe look at how they switch wording from childish for men, to infantile for women...).

They're attacking people for trying to find a little joy in their short lives on this rock.
And maybe there's more a percentage of "childish things" enjoyed now.
But when you can't do the things you were told you'd be able to as an adult (get a good paying job, go on holidays, own a home, settle down with some stability), is it any wonder there's some regression?

> The carbon emissions to build a Tesla are less than two years of carbon emissions of an ICE car

The truth of this claim depends entirely on how much you drive, and the Tesla report says nothing about what assumptions went into their comparison. Two years of emissions of a Ford Explorer driving 50,000 miles a year is going to be a lot different then two years of emissions of a Civic driving 5,000 miles a year.

Obviously there is a set of not-entirely-unreasonable assumptions under which electric vehicles come out ahead. But the best way to reduce emissions from driving is not to use an electric vehicle, it is to drive less.
Eh, of you spend five years not telling stories, you will be woefully out of practice as a writer, with an underdeveloped craft. You are how you spend your time - spending five years on an engine means that there are a lot of things that you're not.

There's a list are great reasons to make a new engine, but making a great game is not on it.
My guess is that the “gig” nature of animation jobs disadvantages workers because they’re constantly needing to look for the next gig, which makes the hiring process a race to the bottom. The lack of job stability increases the likelihood that workers will accept less-than-favorable terms. We see this in game dev, and more recently, the Hollywood writers strike.
Yeah, no.

If what you said was true, The Serum Institute of India wouldn't have licensed the Oxford-AZ vaccine. Same applies for drugs like Molnupiravir where local manufacturers licenced the drug from Merck.

Even if these manufacturers were able to get away with patent violations, they still wouldn't be able to export them to the biggest and richest markets.

> China from senselessly expanding their industry and to convince the third world from developing

This is such a insane way to look at it.

The constant fight for increased profit has offshored manufacturing and created a market for constant crap to buy. China isn't expanding industry in a vacuum, to suggest degrowth should only be for the third world, that historically was exploited for the growth of the first world, is honestly a crazy stance.

I like to tell people that eco-fascists are easy to spot, when someone says "we need less people", ask them who goes first.

The west has driven us to this current state for the sake of profit. We ship plastic bullshit across the oceans burning bunker fuel to shave 6 cents a unit off the margin.

The west has built a society so alienated and so dependent on endless, unsustainable growth. The perfect consumer is entirely dependent on capital for their every need. Yet you point out the issue is the third world looking for some dignity after a century of hyper extraction capital.

I saw a silly tweet today, it went "In a way, we're all in a rich dude's poorly designed submersible".

We're all dying for those bastards RPG min/maxing. The real path is anti-profit, durable long lasting items, and interconnected local economies.
I don't see how it isn't based on time. They use GPS and atomic clocks to establish the time, establish an uncertainty window, and in Spanner's case will have transactions wait out that uncertainty to guarantee an ordering (globally).

Last year, I finally worked up the nerve to make a free web game into a real, complete game and release it on Steam.

Since I was doing it for fun, I decided to make the game free (this meant I missed out on learning if people liked the idea enough to pay, and also I couldn’t use sales to drive interest).

I grudgingly set up a Discord server and released the game.

I was lucky that someone with millions of followers recommended my game, and that the overall response was positive (“very positive” on Steam, briefly), but what did I really get in the end? A couple of fans, a few hours of talking about my game with strangers, an interesting story (“a billionaire beat my game!”), and witnessing people beat me (handily) at my own game.

Was it all worth it? Should I do it again? Honestly, I don’t know. I’m still processing it all. I do have a nagging feeling that my tech skills could be put to better use, or at least help people I know, instead of strangers.

Like I said: still processing :)
It can be argued that it is a market dynamic, and (if you were to somehow control for everything else) the difference between the pay of an game programming job and an average white-collar boring office programming job is the market's value of that passion.

That comparison may coldly boil down something people feel very deeply about, but I'd also argue the market is already doing that.

Plenty of people speak it out loud. But getting billions of people across numerous cultures to collectively give up what they consider basic comforts is not going to happen. It goes against basic human nature. You can try to fight that, but you will lose. The planet will die off first.

In light of that, it seems wise to me to try and get other plans in place to remove carbon from the atmosphere.
