> For instance, if BOTW was released under a different IP skin and released for xbox, it would probably be a 6-8/10.

If released today, then maybe. BOTW being a good game has nothing to do with it being on the switch. Getting enough audience immediately to be a phenomenon and enough people/press interested in it to spend time so it it got enough reviews that everyone saw them, sure, but the game itself is extremely good based on most people's opinions I've heard, even people that are routinely playing Xbox, PS or PC games.

I think perhaps your experience is colored by you not quite liking it as much as others so assuming it was nostalgia goggles. I can assure you, in many many cases (IMO the vast majority of them), that's not what was going on.

> I am guilty, I keep playing every Zelda religiously, despite thinking BOTW wasnt good, I still plan to play TotK. I don't know why I do it. I feel like I need to play it.

I felt like this back when Metroid Prime came out. It was okay, and fun, but I also didn't really feel a huge urge to play the next game in the series, and I haven't played a Metroid in some time (even though metroidvania is one of my favorite genres and I play other games in it).

Different people like different aspects of games. Sometimes games lean into one aspect or another, often when there's a major shift in them (such as 2d to 3d, but not always), and people that likes that aspect are happy and people that weren't as interested in that aspect may be disappointed to varying degrees.

For me, Zelda was always at least partially about exploring everything. I remember revisiting every screen on the map over and over after I got new items to see if I could get to new areas of do new things. BotW brought that in spades, since you could literally go everywhere, and that was rarely done as well in prior games on any systems (it gets easier/possible to get to new sub-areas as the game progresses and you get more stamina, which is a nice way to promote revisiting areas to explore where you couldn't get previously, or novel approaches to getting to areas). I'm sure some people dislike that, or feel bored by it, but many do not.

With first-party isolation being the standard for the last couple of years, there are no “shared caches”. A third-party CDNs might load a particular resource faster, but at the cost of user privacy & reliability. You can know, barring exceptional circumstances, that if your site loaded, it can load its own libraries. Look at the news of Cloudflare, Fastly, et al. going down and the ‘internet breaking’ because there’s been too much centralization and bad advice that all site’s need these sorts of ‘optimizations’.

I agree an occasional drink with friends is fun, and different from abusing alcohol to escape negative emotions.

However, I think your description of external circumstances to argue that you are happy is concerning to me. People are good at ignoring negative things and deluding themselves, and happiness is mostly an internal thing and can't be measured by external success. I don't know you, but people with low self esteem in a narcissist/co-dependent marriage, with "tons of hobbies" to help them escape would still say exactly what you are saying.
The cops killed a teenager. I can't imagine the anger and grief their family, friends, and community are going through. The police are supposed to protect a community, and if they are murdering kids, what recourse is there?

Suppose you are implementing a new feature, how do you test it? First you compile the bootstrapping compiler. Then you use the bootstrapping compiler to compile an unoptimized optimizing compiler. Then you use the optimizing compiler to compile an optimized optimizing compiler. If the compiler doesn't rely on llvm then there will be more code to compile which will make this procedure slower. Especially since the bootstrapping compiler probably isn't very fast (though idk if this is the case with Zig).

Accurate information does create a better society for everyone, in this society and in any. It's like physics - cultural karma.

Angry engaged people fed bullshit do create a worse society for everyone, every time. Karma. Equal reaction.

That one of these options has been weaponized for profit and control is independent of those facts.

It's no secret that if we don't change how society operates, we're going to make life on this planet unbearable very quickly; and this is part of the reason why.|

One google search turned up a bunch[1]. The thing they all have in common? Hard work, and skill. If you're skill-less, you aren't going to earn well, ie. if someone else can be trained to do your job in a day, you are not going to earn well.

It's a myth you need a piece of paper to earn well and live well. It needs to die.

We puppy-mill thousands of useless graduates each year and then are shocked they earn so little doing basic office work. In some cases, it's a complete inversion of what people expect - more degree less pay.

The rules largely do reflect "most successful people". Harvard commonly admits people who are spectacular in non academic ways. Athletes are just the tip of the iceberg, they'll admit people with successful business, they'll admit students who lead popular political movements, they'll accept legacies because they're very likely to be successful. Harvard has never just accepted the top test scores for this exact reason. It just turns out the academic success is a good predictor for general success and there aren't tons of 18 year olds with tons of general success so a lot of the admits are from academic success.
There's no trivial way to work around it.

Without API and without web access, where are you going to read the tweets from?

The only option left is unofficial API stubs, which essentially scrape the web requests, but those also will require a login, so the high activity will be easy to spot and block by Twitter.

Apparently there was someone who claimed Taken was based on him. It was a case of fraud though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taken_(film)#Controversy

> In 2011, a self-proclaimed counter-terrorism expert was convicted of wire fraud after claiming the film was based on a real-life incident in which his daughter was killed. William G. Hillar, who pretended to be a retired Green Beret colonel, claimed to have spent more than 12 years lecturing US government agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation on security issues. However, records revealed he had actually been a radar operator in the Coast Guard Reserve between 1962 and 1970, and had never been in the US Army. Nevertheless, his website claimed Taken was based on events involving him and his family. Hillar, who admitted the charges, was sentenced to 500 hours of community service at Maryland State Veteran Cemeteries. He also agreed to repay $171,000 in speaking fees that he had received from various organizations to which he had presented himself as an expert in terrorism and human trafficking.[29]

Computer programs are radically different from literary and artistic works. It’s unsurprising that laws that were designed for paper books are less than a great fit for software. Indeed, software probably shouldn’t be eligible for copyright protection at all. Recipes which are another species of algorithm aren’t accorded copyright protection because they are simply a set of instructions.

In that case you should be paying the users of your proprietary software because you are observably reducing the value of their computer compared to a free alternative.

Well, nothing prevents you from rebuilding the upstream tarball, or tarball with RH's patches applied even, using upstream's instructions. Doesn't have to be the identical RPM package, does it?

I don't really know how this might or might not work. My gut says that since the .spec is meaningless without the sources, it's a Modification of the work and thus the spec, patches, and the resulting SRPM is definitely a Derived Work. But every time anything quasi-legal is being brought up here or anywhere else, it gets drowned in the arguments over what the meaning of the word "is" is, so I don't know how you can twist it, legally.

But then, the elephant in the room is that IBM may decide to give away only the GPLed SRPMs, and say a big fuck you to anything more permissive. People rallying against copyleft have made quite an impact, and the GPLed landscape is shrinking.

I was talking about the (X)HTML in that RSS feed and its well-formed-ness.

In a perfect world people would construct their XML documents with an API which guarantees that the generated serialisation is a well-formed XML document. E.g. the API guarantees that the element tree is nested, that namespaces are declared and that the serialiser escapes any text nodes. Then people could add their well-formed XHTML fragments as a child to <atom:content type="xhtml"> and then serialise the whole document, guaranteeing well-formed-ness across namespaces.

In practice people have a tagsoup string from their data store which they concatenate inside their RSS template in <description>. If you’re lucky, they replace "<" and "&" beforehand or do the CDATA thing. But in XML terms that is just a string, not well-formed markup.

I pay for YT premium because the ads were getting ridiculous (I think this is partly their goal to push people to premium subscriptions) and I want to support the creators. However, now every video has a damn host read ad embedded in it. I find it incredibly frustrating that my $15/mo isn't enough. I watch on my TV mainly so I can't use one of those plugins that skips host read ads. I just manually skip them. Maybe that makes me an asshole and anti-creator, but I already pay for premium and its getting ridiculous when a 10-15 minute video as a 60 second host read ad in the middle of it.
It's a problem with Jest and CommonJS only in so far as it's a problem with mocking in general: native ESM imports are read-only.

Justification:

> The Court decided that Filburn's wheat-growing activities reduced the amount of wheat he would buy for animal feed on the open market, which is traded nationally, is thus interstate, and is therefore within the scope of the Commerce Clause. Although Filburn's relatively small amount of production of more wheat than he was allotted would not affect interstate commerce itself, the cumulative actions of thousands of other farmers like Filburn would become substantial. Therefore the Court decided that the federal government could regulate Filburn's production.

While it's certainly not the mainstream set of priorities/preferences, it is possible for someone to have a set of priorities in a phone that precludes the high end cameras, while still wanting a very good camera. And depending on the weighting of those preferences, they might be willing to put up with the inconveniences you outline. It's obvious that you peronally don't share those preferences, which is completely fine. But it doesn't make sense to criticize someone else who does.

There are sets of preferences where it is not possible to satisfy all of them and something must be sacrificed. Some people will choose to sacrifice convenience.

I think the West is escalating its war on user control of anything networkable, and content blocking is a security hole. Western governments prefer that everyone be using the same few monitorable, censorable, and compliant communication mediums in the same way, and is ignoring or supporting massive private media/tech businesses when needed in order to reach that goal.
SVG: Browsers vs. Editors, a light talk on a serious struggle
Great insight from Abadi as always. To add to his point about guarantees and network partitions: I find that the way consistency is explained in documentation or even courses can be somewhat misleading or at least incomplete. If you read the Dynamo paper and take from it that you could model a system with a "classic" design of 3 replicas doing quorum reads and writes, you could easily convince yourself that it will be consistent and continue operating even with the loss of a replica.

What this simple approach doesn't cover is all the cases that aren't your perfectly well-behaved read and write operations. It doesn't cover the case where your client gets a timeout and has no idea how many replicas were written to. You could have one replica that has persisted the (failed) write, and read back an old copy from the other two. Then your next read could pick up the new version, giving you alternating views of this data that was supposed to be consistent.

With a database like Cassandra you also have to consider that only the most recent copy of a value is returned, regardless of how many replicas responded. In that case you could read an old value, then the new one, then the old one again, all at quorum when it was supposed to be consistent.

Failures are often messy, and the source of most of the complexity in reasoning about consistency in distributed systems. Many concepts (like network partitions) are also often misunderstood, or being considered in a way that's too "theoretical". Nodes don't always shut down instantly. You likely won't see a clean network split that starts at a fixed point in time and is also resolved in an instant. It'll be partial, asymmetric, with nodes coming in and out, etc. Good luck reasoning about these scenarios…

If that's your response to my statement, all I can say is: you're not owed an audience and your tone is a great way to have people ignore what may or may not be "the right answer".

But no, ironically enough you're proving my point. I'm simply saying to clarify what's on the users mind before going on a rant about what you assume they mean. There's no point in arguing about an aquatic fowl's eating when the user was talking about DuckDuckGo. And then doubling down by saying "but it's true ducks eat too much bread". At this point It's clear your conversation is a tangent no one is interested in taking.
