It's probably only a matter of time before Apple drops support for OpenGL and/or x64 binaries, which would wipe out another whole chunk of Mac gaming history.

PowerPC binaries are no longer usable, x86 binaries are no longer usable, I don't see why they wouldn't do it again in the name of streamlining the platform.
Doing routes in a dict is kind of cute.

You'd need to do a little work have flasks blueprints with prefixes and that makes me feel like this might not scale all that well?

Handling get, post, delete to the same URL is handled by an If statement in the handler function which in a lot of cases would dispatch to another function that handles get requests vs another than handles post requests. It feels weird you have to write this dispatcher.

This is a very minimalistic framework. I feel like the simplicity lends itself to a very small application like a service that just does one very simple thing.

Maybe if you don't already know another framework, e.g. you are a scientist who just wants to put an API on your analysis function, this might be a nice tool.

At the same time it feels like the lack of depth would bite you pretty fast for anything complex.

This has been shown to be bullshit times and again, but people keep repeating this as if it was a valid argument -- why do you think author or anyone else has a choice of an operating system they can install? Based on LTS policy? Really? On what planet do you live?

We don't live in a world with infinite supply of interchangeable operating systems that only differ in one interesting characteristic. For most software products out there there either isn't a choice at all, or the choice is between bad and worse.

But this isn't even the point. Someone, well, a group of people, made a decision about how long the support for the system should be. OP believes they were wrong. Telling them to try a different system solves nothing, even if that worked for them. The conflict is still there: someone made a bad decision, even if OP no longer actually needs to rely on their decision, it's still bad.
> Edit: for those that think this is just some personal issue, you should look up divorce stats by number of previous sexual partners. There is a clear rise in divorce rate per increase in partners, and at about 7 it's 50%+.

I looked up this one: https://ifstudies.org/blog/counterintuitive-trends-in-the-li...

It shows an increase up to 25% after two partners, after which it levels off, until another increase at 10 partners.
My library is thankfully still pretty good, but it has been re-branded as a "Discovery Centre" whatever that means. Normally has a good selection of books, helpful staff and they even put on a regular schedule of kids nursery rhyme classes which are good fun for the little ones!

The app however has been outsourced to "BorrowBox" (https://www.borrowbox.com/) which is meh, but I can't exactly blame them for not wanting to create and maintain their own app.
Sure, those points people have agency over. But the error in reasoning happens when you say those points add up to “Finding a partner isn't actually that hard”. You’re forgetting that there are things people have no agency over, which makes finding a partner very hard indeed.
The plural of anecdote is not data.

Your experiences are valid, and a 50% divorce rate does mean a 50% success rate too. Hardly unlikely.

But overall, the data does not lie. There are clear correlations between the 2 variables mentioned by the previous commenter. It is what it is.
"Waterboarding at Guantanamo Bay sounds awesome if you don't know what any of those words mean"
Much like the “children do better in a stable home” studies though, could this not be somewhat tautological?

I.E. marriages among people who choose to marry at those ages may well last the best. Does that mean they someone who would have married earlier or later should change their behaviour if they want a long marriage? Or is it some other quality of couples who do already make that choice that precipitates the outcome?
That doesn't make sense. You're confusing inside-emulation time with outside-emulation time. It's entirely possible to run an emulator for a frame at a time and get the sound right; the emulator just needs to run things in the right order or with the right internal synchrony.

It's also entirely possible to run an emulator at many times real-time and get the sound output correct, however you use it. You can use this to quickly get wav/mp3 copies of game music, for example.
Voluntary commitment is self-coercion. All discipline is. The trick is, it's worth it. But some people are so allergic to external and internal control that they enter a never-ending self-destructive spiral of "personal freedom at any cost".

Unfortunately we will see more of this all over oil producing regions as the competitive threat to petrochemical hegemony becomes actually-real:

What matters is the discovery of new things that are true, that we can do engineering with. Publication by youtube & arxiv doesn't have to be oriented at public consumption - it works just as well when it's by-researchers, for-researchers. Except without gatekeeping, people like McCalip can participate too. Who cares who's sitting on the sidelines? In post-peer-review, industry-funded academics rush a paper to a preprint server, a space engineer replicates it, and someone else figures out how to mass-produce it, and we get room-temp ambient-pressure superconductors, and we know we did because the engineering works.

This works just as well with less exciting tech, because the point is that we collaboratively learned how to build something.

I think that is entirely the point: to keep the decision what to do with that wealth with those living. Imagine if the people of Egypt would still have to sacrifice one lamb each year for some ancient pharao. Sure, he pays for it, but only by still owing a flock of sheep somewhere that could very well also feed someone. I reality, the situation is so that we could nowadays place solar cells on the pyramids and use them to make money. We do not do that, but we (as a society and by our own rules) would be allowed to do that.
Steam is the worst application on macOS I use. It can't even scroll the game collection at 60fps and when I launch a game without Steam open I need wait 15 seconds to see the actual game's loading screen or 30+ if Steam decides to update. It's so slow that if you told me it's emulating an entire Windows environment, I would believe you.

It's just an application launcher, a glorified Start menu. I would never choose to use it, it's forced on me because of the Steam store.

Did you read the article? There are no laws attacking accepted science, there are laws pushing back on ideological capture.

That the country is “systemically racist” and that “men can be women” are not scientific facts. These are increasingly less prominent interpretations of various observed phenomena, and especially for a lot of the gender stuff: just preferred philosophy or cultural mindset. Because these areas both have political policy recommendations, they are just politics by definition.

In short, this is a shortage of politically motivated academics who bias their research and teaching towards political ends rather than the truth. Purging the university of these kinds is a major win.

> That enforcement action was taken in coordination with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, which brought a lawsuit under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act against several entities and individuals associated with the enterprise. The Commission also proposed a fine and offered the parties a chance to respond, which they did not do, resulting in today’s unprecedented fine. Should the parties not pay the fine promptly, this matter will be referred to the U.S. Department of Justice for collection.

But maybe the legal/justice system is so broken in the US that they'll just ignore it? Hard to imagine, but I don't live there so who knows.

The problem is that finding those jobs is hard, unless you live somewhere very expensive.

I could afford a house, easily, in Rural Kentucky, but good luck getting a job around there. Remote might change that game a little, but not as much as you'd think, and there would always be a huge sword of damocles dangling over your head about job security.
I think calling it anxiety elevates the issue as though the people writing were somehow peers. For me it's not anxiety, it's just disgust. In presenting themselves as underdogs, they diminish themselves as a means to self-license to behave in ways that are not to the standards and conventions of normal men and women. It's a kind of intellectual and political perfidy, where these writers affect some grand social injury as a means to appeal to our tolerance and kindness, and then use the attention to inject their ridiculous beliefs. It's abuse, hence disgusting.
This is in reference to a meme that has been around since the days when Slashdot was the king of tech news sites. "The Year Of Linux On The Desktop" has been just around the corner for all this time and is still not here.

Or is it? Whether or not we have come close to TYOLOTD depends on how you define "The Desktop". If "The Desktop" is a metaphor for "the hands of the non-specialist user who doesn't even call their device 'a computer" then yeah, it's doing great. The Deck is a major step forwards in that, it wraps up Steam's entire catalog of Windows games into a nice little bubble of virtualization that varies in seamlessness depending on how new the game is.

If you define it as a desktop computer, it's nowhere near that. Most people who sit down at a a desk with a large screen to do work that involves multiple windows and a mouse pointer are still sitting in front of a box that's running Windows or MacOS. Those two operating systems still dominate that domain, as well as the world of people popping open a laptop to do windows-and-pointer work away from their office.

Linux keeps nibbling at that domain, and the work Valve did on their fork of WINE to get fifty bazillion Windows games running on this handheld Linux device is probably going to help take some bigger bites. But what do people go buy when they want A Computer? When you answer that with "Linux", that's The Year Of Linux On The Desktop.
Privesc is also trivial on desktop linux :P so if your barrier is "but I'm an unprivileged user" it's likely not enough. You need a proper sandbox if you want to make escalation difficult.

ex: Desktop Linux's running X have a trivial escalation path; any program can read all keystrokes across all users. You type your sudo password in, you're screwed.

Or if the attacker is running as your user they can just modify your bashrc, aliases, etc, to do a whole bunch of things - like having `sudo` go to an attacker controlled binary - that one will work on the server, too!

So yeah sandboxing builds is super important because "unprivileged users" are almost always one trivial step away from full root.
Oh fuck, really?

Gosh, I'm so silly. I hardly even noticed that the web is also a distribution platform for perfectly acceptable applications. They come with their own code and logo and everything! They even... wait for it... run locally on your iPhone if you have one!

Except they don't do it so well on iPhones - because Apple refused to implement or support a bunch of features that might have threatened their revenue on their app store. Which is fine, but then... they also stopped ANY other developers on the planet for being able to do that work on their platform.

They sure are nice fellas, those Apple folks.

Did I mention their app store is also an internet site? Literally. It has to be. Apple did a shit job making the HTML view, but the whole fucking shebang of a platform is delivering content to users over... the internet. Through a website.

They just locked the UI their users see for that content down to something they call "an iOS app" which is really code for "We turned your general purpose computer into a less general purpose computer for you!"

Which... is exactly the same fucking thing Google is doing now. Making my general purpose computer less general.
Money is fungible so it is really hard to say but it is entirely possible that the base model doesn't pay anything for the seats. They could sell the car with $10,000 and expect that 1/2 of the customers pay $500 for the upgrade. Those customers are essentially paying to install the seat hardware in all cars (because it is cheaper than them paying for a new production line that makes 1/2 the number of cars). So in 2 the purchaser of that car still pays $10k and their "other half" who statistically bought the heated seats paid for the $100 cost in their car.

You can also picture this as a marketing cost. Maybe Tesla things that a $100/car marketing cost is worth paying because they expect that 1/2 of the cars will pay $500 so they have $150 expected return.
Are you suggesting the US government does not have > $1B dollars?
> Whereas this late-30s divorced/never-settled couples are equally (if not more) miserable as some of those unhappy couples were in my parent's generation.

People make their own misery though. The cultural pressures to pair up are strong, so if you focus on things you don't have and think you want because of cultural pressures, of course you'll be miserable. Studies have shown that single people in midlife become significantly happier, I'd argue because a lot of the pressure is then off, and you're free to pursue your real happiness.

No doubt you get to be one of the lucky 50 million, right? Keeping in mind that, if you are indeed a "coder" of some sort as your name implies, you likely are one of the relatively few people currently causing global warming, while greatly benefiting from past emissions (i.e., you live in an industrialized, developed nation, or otherwise to "first world" standards)?
And as there is no test for non-physical abuse, it also becomes a great excuse to avoid all responsibility and commitment. Women end most marriages, especially if educated. Most men cannot possibly be abusive, so there's something else at play here.

Decay is the word you are all looking for.
That certainly changes things somewhat, but I still think railroads would jump on it if it meant, say, 1/3rd less maintenance and half the fuel costs. The move to tier 4 emissions is/was a big deal. They’re starting to have to use DPFs and SCR.
The only sense in which it would be our demise is that it would be an inflection point in how life is lived, similar to how someone from 200+ years ago would find our current lifestyles to be almost entirely alien.

I mean some years ago Apple (or someone in the industry, don't quote me this is now just rumours and hearsay) that they intentionally optimized for about a day of battery life; the technology is there to make a smartphone last for a week, but that means cutting down on performance and whatnot.

I'm pretty confident that iOS 1.0 or 2.0 or whichever would last for a week on a modern-day iphone, even without all the optimizations they've done since then. Battery capacity tripled or quadrupled, and there's been multiple generations of chip design since then.
Now how about some practical implications rather than theoretical?
Haha, no. I do it manually, but have gotten pretty efficient at it to the point where it only takes a minute.

"It's only a model."
> that's like trying to argue that water is not wet.

Your fallacy is assuming that both glasses contain water. Again you're just restating your assumptions as truth.

I refer you to my original parent comment; "Government debt and household debt don't work the same way." and "You have not shown that government debt and private debt are even the same thing at all"

What I am saying, and all that I am saying, is that they aren't the same thing, at all.

Saying "this is larger than that" is neither here nor there when they aren't comparable.

Saying "larger government debt must be bad because more household debt is bad" is not a valid argument. It might be good or bad, but not for those reasons. Argument that rests on the assumption that it works the same will go wrong rapidly.
