That had a great turn going that I find is probably true in my own life. I spend a lot of time on things that I think are neat, but that I think will please others at times at the expense of myself and my family. The idea that games and game dev (of any dev) can be a coping strategy for past injury is also enlightening.

As someone who always wanted to get into game dev, but saw it as something that was continually further and further from my reach, I was expecting a primer and got more than I thought. Thanks!
That seems a lot less reliable and far more risky than just casing a house and seeing when the cars leave, since people often post on instagram after the fact. That's the thing with a lot of these digital "what if" scenarios. The confidence you have in your model is lower compared to old fashioned techniques that work well enough for far cheaper.
Besides that, there's the issue of efficiency.

Better quality training data might enable you to build a leaner more efficient model than is far cheaper to implement and run than the expensive model used to generate the data to train it.

See for example: https://twitter.com/SebastienBubeck/status/16713263696268533...

Considering how hostile Windows has been to MIDI, I wouldn't put much store by this. Working with MIDI on Windows is such a PITA; the SoundFont player I used to use (VirtualMIDISynth) was constantly breaking due to some change Microsoft had made to their certification rules or whatever the hell, forcing me to switch back to the ancient GS Wavetable thing that MS have never bothered replacing. (Fortunately for me, my purposes don't require high quality samples.)

Is there documentation covering the scenarios on how the order can become out of sync and what the odds are? There's a big difference between "almost" and "always" if we're talking about using this as a database PK.
According to your first source, "cutting the top tax rate does not lead to economic growth" but it does not lead to economic stagnation or shrinkage either; "cutting the top tax rate does not lead to income growth" but does not lead to income decrease either; "cutting the top tax rate does not lead to wage growth" but does not lead to wage decrease either; "cutting the top tax rate does not lead to job creation" but does not lead to job destruction either. That is to say, cutting the top tax rate has no correlation with any of those four items.

So if taking more or less taxes from the rich results in no meaningful difference in ordinary American lives, shouldn't the government then default to taking less? The other way would be just wasteful. And if your argument is that no, in fact the additional tax revenue from the rich is helpful because it funds various redistributive social programs, then my counterargument is that what those programs seem to be most effective at is incentivizing creating an unemployable underclass at the taxpayer's expense[0] while enriching politically connected players.

In terms of using support by Senators to influence one's priors on whether UFOs might be real: it's worth noting that Senator Rubio also harbors doubts about the certification of the election results in 2020.

One might wonder "Why is this Congress treating this topic seriously when previous Congresses did not" and conclude this Congress is more willing to treat outlandish claims as credible, not that the claims are more credible.

its not a bubble if they keep bringing in half a million people per year to keep the pressure on housing and healthcare high. As long as you have desperate people looking for housing there will be pressure to keep the costs up. The government doesn't care because the real estate numbers pump up the GDP numbers as they make life unlivable for middle class and lower, so the numbers look good even if the results are bad.
At least with ints you can capture those issues with intent and handle them properly (as the better libraries that handle money tend to do).
No one has a monopoly on the sky. Amateur astronomers track active satellite missions, discover asteroids, mine public sky survey data to analyze stars, etc, etc. If there was anything out of the ordinary on the visible spectrum regularly showing up in our solar system (especially if it involved a lot of beelining towards Earth), it couldn't be hidden.
The truth of the matter is they're fighting very hard to not build anything. In Vancouver, they tried to suppress First Nations people's rights to build apartment blocks because they didn't want anyone to build homes. It's the same story as in California, and they have the same explanations: starting with the foreigners and techies, and then going down the list.

The fortunate thing is that the First Nations have rights over their land https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/vancouver-real-est...

The unfortunate thing is that others don't.
Can totally understand wanting to leave the Bay Area for a Canadian city or any other developed place. Personally I went to San Diego instead, and I'm happy with that.
Well, software firms have already been using some variant of VCS for a while. The legal world needs to first get sold on the concept (at least on all the bits beyond Word's "Track Changes" functionality), and then... well, nobody but techies looks at VCS based on richness of CLI commands, or depth of mathematical foundation, or provenance / industry cred of its authors -- lawyers will want something with reasonable GUI UX; whether it's powered by Git or Mercurial or whatever, doesn't really matter.

(FWIW, I think embedding Git support in MS Office would do a lot towards VCS adoption outside of tech.)
I think you’re actually not very well informed despite being confident of your position. The body attempts to maintain stasis at a given weight. “Lifestyle choices” as a solution are essentially a constant uphill fight against your body and its signals. High probability of failure, because there is no point at which your body stops telling you to eat more to reach the weight it thinks you should be.

I think now that we actually have a solution, we can stop saying this “lifestyle choices” junk. The reality is people rarely have a true choice.
They are getting way more press this way? Doesn’t seem counterproductive at all to me.
The average video game engine accomplishes none of these goals.
Lead acid, hence the reference to 12.6 volts. Are the Li-ions 12.6 volts as well? I thought they might be 16 volts.
Well, in the case of lead, I don't think it was irrational for individuals to feel disempowered. The solution was regulatory and societal change, but how many people want to devote their lives to being PFAS crusaders?

Canonical proudly advertises that your system is vulnerable but can be patched with a subscription. They overly monetize insecurity, a user-hostile dark pattern. Ubuntu is best avoided entirely because of their insane, unreasonable leadership.
>We provision a VPN server on-demand when you connect.

Do you still share an IP address with the other users? One of the main ways a VPN grants privacy is because everyone shares a handful of IPs. There is still demand for dedicated IPs though, because they trigger blocking less.

I have a need for a good "residential"/"mobile" proxy/VPN service, but I have yet to see a company that I was confident that they were ethically sourcing the servers.

hmm, he does say he was camping on a beach in Plymouth, MA. On the map I see a municipal airport not far inland and a bit to the south a coast guard air base. I could imagine a coast guard helicopter out patrolling the coastline taking a closer look at someone on the beach at 2am.
That explains it, I was very confused by what I assumed was self-censoring, since the comment didn’t actually clarify anything. I wish there was an accepted way to disambiguate asterisks from server side filters.
First, reform HIPPA (one of the rare privacy laws that the US actually has) to remove those blanket exceptions that grant governments, large companies, and research institutions the legal ability to abuse medical information without informed consent for every specific use. Remove the loopholes that allow "deidentified" data to not be treated as personal information. And specify that any time consent is asked for, there must be an equally presented option to deny it.

Second, adopt a version of EU's GDPR, perhaps importing the text wholesale if congress is really unable to keep lobbyists from neutering the idea. Make sure it applies across the board, even to things like the traditional financial surveillance industry (paving over the "Fair" Credit Reporting Act), such that it's actually possible for an individual to delete themselves from these surveillance databases. Create a private right of action that superceeds any mandatory arbitration clauses, and empower the relevant regulatory agency so that we fast forward through this currency phase of companies attempting to continue business as usual figuring it will go away.

After these basic steps, then we can start to talk about what else it takes for individuals to have trust in centralized systems to not abuse their data.

"Hello, my name is Werner Brandeis. My voice is my passport. Verify me."
I know it's hard to make a strong argument about this, and also to gather data on it. But there is https://opensource.googleblog.com/2023/06/rust-fact-vs-ficti... , section "Rumor 5: Rust code is high quality – Confirmed!", which touches upon this.

That said, personal experience has shown me that modeling data using types (instead of abusing, say, string-to-string dicts as is common in Python, or passing "untyped" strings around for things that /are/ strings but that have higher meaning, like file system paths) is very beneficial to program correctness. Obviously this is doable in many languages, but Rust helps enforce this due to the lack of implicit promotions and general adoption of these idioms in standard/common libraries.

As one specific example, I originally wrote sandboxfs (a FUSE file system) in Go and then rewrote it in Rust -- part because I hit performance issues, and part because I wanted to learn Rust. Trying to reproduce the original structure of the code in Rust was not doable, and having to adapt it to Rust highlighted various logic and concurrency bugs that existed in the Go version but that silently went unnoticed.
In this context, it actually makes sense to think in a human-centered way.

Consider how many planets are capable of supporting intelligent (as we know it).

Now suppose we detect evidence of industrial behavior (certain pollutants, nuclear detonation, etc).

Would we not laser focus on that one planet and observe it with everything we have - including sending reconnaissance drones?

Furthermore, would we not want to avoid detection where possible, in case life does exist on said planet and it turns out to be an existential threat to humanity?

Also, it would be trivial to avoid detection in our own solar system. Duck behind a moon or planet, or just quietly float in the blackness of space, and no earthling will ever see you.
This looks like a very welcome addition, I will certainly be using it if it makes it to standard. I've often had to resort to JS to "detect" when my sticky elements are stuck before.

I really like all this invitation that's happing with CSS at the moment, and I do believe it's coming from a place of ambition for the open standards. The standards process seems to be doing a good job of selecting the additions that other browsers have tested and committed to, so it doesn't feel like a "embrace/extend/extinguish" process from the Google Chrome team.

I know some people feel these additions are making CSS "too big", but the joy of it is that you can select what subset you want to use. The web platform is a platform for all, and that it what I love about it. You can build anything from a simple text page to a full blown application with one toolkit.
People are moving from toronto and vancouver, selling their houses there for a million, and then going to other cities and overpaying for houses there. That brings up the cost across all of canada. On top of the excessive immigration that is putting a huge strain on housing and healthcare. It has provided a massive upwards pressure on housing prices across all of canada.

And no, canada does not have the capacity to build housing at the rate immigration is bringing people in. half a million per year is a small city each year, mostly going to areas where work is available.
I was put on a PIP at Google in my first year. I worked my way out of it (it was mostly a perception-of-work thing, not an actual-work thing). And then for other reasons I transferred out about 6 months later. I think this helped a lot in getting that off my back. The new manager, new lead, and new team knew basically nothing about it so it was far easier to shake it off.

Another colleague was put on a PIP after being on the team for 2 years. They made a big effort to go around to all of the leads (including me) and ask for advice on getting out from under it. They did (but kind of via a technicality) and stayed on the team. It was obvious how they were passed over for project after project and ended up only doing maintenance work until eventually being laid off.

Yeah, if you get PIPed, at least leave the team, if not the company.

> and overestimating how high salaries in the US are compared to Canada

As an American STEM worker in Canada: salaries are definitely higher in the US. Not even close in some cases, easily a 40%
difference for high-end roles. And while COL is high in SF or NYC, it's just as crazy in Greater Toronto or Vancouver but the salaries have not kept up.

Make no mistake, you can still do pretty well, but I could probably double my salary if I moved back to the big US East Coast city that I'm from.

Long-term I'm not optimistic about the US economy and culture, and my wife wouldn't be a fan, so I'm willing to miss out -- but sometimes it stings knowing what options are out there.
As I understand it, that video illustrates either a camera glare artifact, or alien technology very carefully tuned to replicate a camera glare artifact.
It's probably also the case that (not so well-paying) passion jobs become less interesting when they're your full-time, perhaps long hours, job and you don't really control what you work on. I was pretty passionate about photography once upon a time but I realized (correctly) that I'd probably end up doing photography for some small-time newspaper (when those still existed), some organization's public relations, or commercial photography--and not Life Magazine.

The fact that it feels like something at all is enough of a rebuttal to reducing experience to labels or correlations. That's not an intuition, it's just a statement of empirical fact, since empiricism relies on phenomenal observations.
The authors have created a specialisation for Postgres that leverages a custom type which is a tuple of type and uuidv7: https://github.com/jetpack-io/typeid-sql/blob/main/sql/typei...

This is more optimal for Postgres while making it slightly more difficult to interop between the db and the language (db driver needs to handle custom types, and you need to inject a custom type converter).

And while there are hacks you can do to make storing uuid-alikes as strings less terrible for db engines, if you want the best performance and smallest space consumption (compressed or not) make sure to use native ID types or convert to BINARY/numeric types.
> neither is it "karma" to have an oil-wealth state suffering

Texas is an energy state. It has lots of oil. But it also has lots of natural gas [1], solar [2], wind [3] and uranium [4], geographically overlapping and exclusive in a way that's almost preternaturally ideal for extraction and commercialization.

I work for a FAANG company where highly-paid full-time engineers will still complain in a similar fashion (yes even mentioning suicide occasionally). Moral of the story, a small chunk of people will always complain.

I've got nothing against Canada, but I do prefer the US.
Congress could pass a law requiring it to be revealed, the president could order it, leaking of additional information could cause public outcry leading to one of the above.

I'm using 'forced' in the sense of 'circumstances cause it to become necessary to do', not 'some more powerful entity will make them do it'.
I wonder what I would have thought if I watched it at 4.

I saw Cars in the least favorable way possible, so my hatred for that movie should be entirely understandable, but it is still a fun story to tell: It was the height of "Wii Mania" and my brother desperately wanted a Wii. (We were both in college at the time, for age context.) Being a good older sibling I agreed to help line stand in the local Wal-Mart's crazy rule-filled queue to buy one as soon as the truck pulled up with fresh stock the next morning.

It's one of those worst kinds of "sleepover" situations where you are trapped inside a Wal-Mart with underpaid retail workers who obviously don't want to be there that late/early either so they give you a lot of rules and restrictions and marching orders in part as much to keep themselves entertained as to keep things "orderly". That's part of why we needed two of us to keep a single spot in line, because they were trying to exhaust people and hope they leave.

One of the other most exhausting things about it, and I still mostly think it was intentionally a torture decision, was that near the place where the line spent most of its hours over night there in that Wal-Mart was a TV with the volume on. That TV was left in an endless loop of the movie Cars. Every time it ended it went right back to the beginning of the movie.

(When the fresh members of Wal-Mart's morning shift finally arrived we eventually did convince one of them to change movies on that TV and turn the volume down, to cheers among us. I still believe it mostly proved it was always possible, the late shift just hated us.)

Cars will always be associated for me with late night exhaustion and torture. I feel for all the parents that got versions of that from well-meaning kids rather than spiteful retail employees retaliating at crazy customers.
From the NY Times article:

> "Over half of all U.F.O. reports from the late 1950's through the 1960's were accounted for by manned reconnaissance flights" over the United States, the C.I.A. study says. "This led the Air Force to make misleading and deceptive statements to the public in order to allay public fears and to protect an extraordinarily sensitive national security project."

This is exactly what happened with the people and incidents that were exposed in the Mirage Men[1] documentary that covers how the government uses UFO and alien conspiracy theories to coverup information that they don't want the public to know.

Well-meaning people stumbled upon classified projects, did the right thing by reporting them to the government, and then the government went out of its way to construct situations and fake evidence to convince them that what they saw were really aliens.

In one incident, the government constructed a fake "alien crash landing" site in the mountains, and flew one of their victims to it and let them investigate it themselves in order to convince them that what they really saw were aliens.

In the process of deceiving these people, the government even significantly contributed to a veteran's mental breakdown and paranoia via agents' lies and extensive surveillance of the victim's life.

Hollywood has been spending literally over a billion USD equiv a year in "Hollywood North" aka Canada since around 2006. It creates thousands of local jobs and has a lot of follow on effects.

This was more or less the culmination of super-NIMBY California folks making an entire industry pick up and move due to hostilities.
Right but in this argument the onus is on you to find a game that should have been successful, but wasn't, due to the sheer volume of good games, not the other way around. You're making the argument that there lots of games that are polished and deserved some kind of success, and are inundated by other polished games. I'm arguing this simply isn't the case, and most indie devs that have complained about this have not made good, fun games.

Flaws or not, Vampire Survivors and Enter the Gungeon found a market because they were fun games that had some redeeming qualities that wasn't widely available on the market at the time. Other examples: Project Zomboid, Shovel Knight, etc.

Edit: still waiting on ONE game. Just one. Feel free to edit your comment with a game that deserves more recognition.
