Honestly I really don't get people who are obsessed with this. Static vs dynamic? That matters A LOT! Error handling style? Very important. Expression based vs statement based? Now you are talking.

but whether a type is before or after the name of a variable? Come one man.,,

The Baldur's Gate series is one of the best cRPG series that exists. When another company wanted to use the name for their games they made a separate series called Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. Larian's defilement of this series being rewarded like this just breaks my heart. They could have easily called it Baldur's Gate: Ulitharid or something, but no, they had to stir up maximum nostalgia by calling their game which has about as much to do with the original trilogy (yes, we, the real fans, called it the Baldur's Gate trilogy back in the day) as Star Trek has to do with Star Wars "Baldur's Gate 3". If it were still just "Divinity Faerun" but actually continued the story of the Bhaalspawn it would be fine, it may even have been interesting to play a really high-level adventure, but instead they do this shit and because it looks fancy people eat it up hook, line, and sinker. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I can't deal with this. It reminds me of those activists who glue themselves to works of art, but whereas those people at least nominally have a good reason to do so, Larian is only out for self-interest. While I am probably taking things too seriously, after all it's "only a game", only a piece of childish amusement, I still feel like I can't deal with the disappointment. The statement "gamers have no standards" has never felt as real as it does now. It's like as if Ultima IX had been successful, a clear showing that "video games are art" is an empty, hollow statement, easily disproven by a single look at reality.
Is this implying that male versions won't exist?

Oh thanks, I'll check that out.

I was musing about this stuff back when reading Hennessy and Patterson in the early 00's. Moore's homepage was really interesting and inspiring, that someone could work idiosyncratically and largely individually and actually get chips to tape out. Cool to hear he's still going strong.
> What's the value in publishing something that is never replicated?

Because it presents an experimental result to other scientists that they may consider worth trying to replicate?
This is great, thank you. I do keep hearing about Kafta but I’m still mulling over what is in a message queue vs a db with similar state. For example a email queue could add an item for every email to send out. Is that clearer than an email table that queries for missing items and deletes the records when sent?

I had the same reaction as GP, thanks for the explanation! I don't think the original DA games hold up too well nowadays, but they were good at the time and still provide me with fond memories.

>It's a really, really good game. I'm glad they decided to make it turn based vs the real time with pause, though I know that's a somewhat controversial decision (what isn't?).

Yes, but naming the game "Baldur's Gate 3" instead of something like "Divinity: Dungeons & Dragons" is, unfortunately, a successful cash-grab. Which is to be expected considering that AFAIK _none_ of the original developers or writers worked on it.
> This is also all work that doesn't benefit the scientists replicating the paper. It only costs them money and time.

Maybe this is what needs to change. If we only reward discovery and success, then the incentive is to only produce discovery and success.
I dunno. Offhand, I guess whoever is citing the work would need to replicate it, but only if it's cited sufficiently (overall number of citations, considered foundational, etc...)

This could help your career by increasing the probability that the work you're citing is more likely accurate, and as a result, your work is also likely more accurate.

As a Canadian, I’m glad that Meta is doing this. Google is going to be doing it soon as well from what I’ve heard.

The irony is the government says their intent was to “protect Canadian media by getting big tech to pay their fair share” and it is backfiring spectacularly. Having the opposite effect where there is less traffic going to these media sites, and will have a big impact on their bottom line from their innability to run ads on their own domains and make revenue that way.

Of course, this will just lead to another media bailout making them even more reliant on government subsidy - which the Liberal party will use as a wedge issue come election time because the opposition (which is leading and gaining in the polls right now) will want to defund them. Wether this would be successful as an election issue is yet to be seen, but there’s one thing that the Liberal party is good at is demonizing the opposition and if their gravy train is on the line I’m sure e media corps will gladly indulge him.

And of course this completely neuters independent media which is much more likely to actually be critical of the establishment. Leaving only pro establishment agencies in place to do the bidding of the hand that feeds them.

So the big players take a hit to revenue (and get bailed out), and every one else gets completely wiped out.

It’s absolutely sinister what Justin Trudeau’s government is doing. I used to think they were just stupid but it’s scandal after corruption scandal after corruption scandal with him. At some point you stop giving them the benefit of the doubt.
I write these policies for my day job and I agree with this.
Yes it is, but generally, laws are violations of personal freedoms. An idea sometimes summarized as "My right to swing my fist ends where your nose begins".

It is less obvious with seatbelt laws, but the idea is the same. Generally, there are limits to the rights to kill yourself through recklessness.

This is because it impacts much more people than you. If you die in a car accident because you didn't wear your seatbelt, first responders are going to try to save you, traffic will be blocked while the police investigates, your friends and family will be devastated, your employer will have to make up for the loss of an employee, other parties in the accident may be traumatized, etc... All that just for your personal freedom of not wearing a seatbelt.

Lawmakers have decided that wearing a seatbelt does a lot of good to society at large (by not having to deal with reckless deaths) in exchange for a small violation in personal freedom. Sometimes it is hard to find a balance between personal freedom and the harm it may cause to others, but seatbelts are among the easy ones.

What is the likelihood of the computer picking somebody who doesn’t closely resemble the perp for the photo lineup?

Then what is the likelihood of the victim being misled by the doppelgänger the computer found?

It is ridiculous to pretend like this wasn’t a software pick.
Disagree. The law ensures there are Canadian media, which can be used to push media to the betterment of Canadians.

Many countries have protectionist laws and this isn’t much different.
Not that I have heard of. And it seems like it's probably a very hard problem to solve (although I admittedly haven't spent too much time thinking about it). There are absolutely certain kinds of development/buildings/whatever that we probably want to restrict building, or at the very least subject to decently in depth review. It's hard to envision a process that blocks those kinds of things while allowing the good things. In part because the line between those things is probably different for just about every single person in the country. I'm sure a lot of people would disgree with my personal view on all the things we should be building.

I've mostly been convinced that, at least for now, the harms that NEPA is preventing are smaller than the goods it's preventing. That probably wasn't true in the past and might not be true in the future though. My hope is that by rabble rousing enough, someone smarter than I can find a good solution that doesn't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
> Canadian media is a loser, particularly the small and independent media outlets that are more reliant on social media to develop community and build their audience.

So, regulatory capture by the largest media companies?
This is what communism brought for those who lived under it. After 50 years people had to line up to get their food. Just look around the world and see what people who live under that system reap, poverty and slavery. Thank God Poland freed itself from that evil imposed on it by Russia who was the main driver of that garbage. Can you believe Russia still glorifies it and celebrates it's hero's Lenin and Stalin, insane.....

These types of discussions on this site are pointless. I can tell that no matter what I say, you’re going to end up moving the goal posts. Why do I know this? Because you non sarcastically are trying to say that Apple doesn’t have a monopoly. The amount of mental gymnastics is takes to frame it that way is only possible if someone cares more about defending the honor of their favorite megacorp than finding any kind of truth.

And if I’m completely wrong about you, then I apologize. My patience for these internet arguments isn’t what it used to be. To answer your question, there are no doubt thousands of comments on this website about that topic. Ignore the ones that seem to come from Apple fanboys, and you’ll find the right answers.
Making up excuses instead of telling the truth is an issue with everything CEOs tend to say.

They never tell you the real reason for anything. During the various tech layoffs, I honestly wished CEOs would just lean into the "I am doing this because I'm greedy and I want more money" angle instead of trying to pretend they had to do it due to some phony line reasoning.
Maybe. What bothers me about this idea is that it doesn't scale: As soon as you need a fourth bracket type you're hosed, because there are no more on the keyboard.

With Common Lisp, you can define [ and { if you want to, but it's more common to use a reader macro character in front of an opening paren or a function name after it if you want different data structures. Those approaches scale.
Curious for users here: why does using your content to train AI bother you? How is it any more scary than using it to advertise to you for example.
There are also certification authorities who offer CEUs for blogging about the subject matter. So we'll find, say, Cybersecurity bloggers who are writing about some entry-level topic, like basic networking, or types of symmetric block ciphers, and they may blog on a regular basis, because you can rack up CEUs to a certain limit by repeating a particular activity.

They already do similar stuff like cross referencing applinks at .well-know/apple-app-site-association with the associated domains bundled in your binary.

You said "2". There should be more than 2 before we worry.

People just remember the big ones, and forget the rest. It's trying to argue when people only have short term memory. Yeah, there were 2 big ones that people remember, that isn't all of them. Things aren't normal if there is an increasing rate.
okay, but that only allows you to deploy to a docker engine.

at best, you can deploy that app to a Docker Swarm. Docker Swarm is not reasonably comparable to K8s.

there are tools (and colleagues ! :) ) to transform docker compose files to K8s manifests.

Well, you could put incentives to make replication attractive. Give credit for replication. Give money to the researchers doing the replication/review. Today we pay an average of 2000€ per article, reviewers get 0€ and the editorial keeps all for putting a pdf online. I would say there is margin there to invest in improving the review process.

>for the benefit of organizations that are influential with the establishment.

Those organizations, being Canadian news organizations, employing Canadians, and making content for Canadian consumers. Aren't those the sort of organizations that should be able to work with the Canadian government and influence Canadian laws?

What sorts of organizations instead of those ones should be able to work with the government here? I think legislation should have outside influence, but I think I'm missing something here, or making the mistake of taking things at face-value.

So the basic principle is that stack machines have smaller instructions, but require extra instructions to shuffle values around on the stack. This is why register machines won out with hardware, and stack machines are popular for virtual machine intermediate representations (that get compiled or JIT down to register code in the end on basically all machines today).

If you wanna learn about how register renaming works, look into Tomasulo's algorithm. State of the art chips are a lot more complex, but that's a good historic introduction to the fundamental ideas.

I suspected as much because I can think of a couple of action details that are going to be super hard with with geometry but if they can get it to work (or if they already have it working) then that would be a major engineering accomplishment. They talk about it as if it is working.

That removes the linkages at the price of no longer being a purely mechanical instrument, which I'm pretty sure isn't going to sit well with advanced pianists.

I actually don't quite know why seatbelts are mandatory.

Of course not wearing one is a terrible idea. But smoking isn't banned, neither is walking drunk in cliff paths. It is also one of those things where the damage is pretty much entirely to yourself.

I see some exceptions, namely mandatory seatbelts for children (who benefit from enhanced protection of the state) and protecting first responders - though if you flew out of your car due to not wearing a seatbelt, I don't think you'll need any aid at all.

There are some comparisons to face masks in this thread, but I don't think they apply since face masks at least in theory protected others, even more than that oneself.

So... Why?
That's a good point, true. Thanks for the timeline.
Zuck says he gave Musk an August 26 fight date but he’s ‘not holding my breath’
I estimated from the photo:

Vodka: 231 kcal/100ml * 500ml = 1155 kcal

Meat: say 300 kcal/100g * 2.5kg = 7500 kcal

Butter: 717 kcal/100g * 500g = 3585 kcal

Cooking oil: 884 kcal/100g * say 300g = 2652 kcal

Sweets: say 387 kcal/100g * 250g = 967 kcal

Rice, uncooked: 364 kcal/100g * 1.3kg = 4732 kcal

Sugar: 387 kcal/100g * 2kg = 7740 kcal

Flour: 364 kcal/100g * 1.3kg = 4732 kcal

Total 1155+7500+3585+2652+967+4732+7740+4732 = 33063 kcal

That's 33063 kcal for a month, or 1086 kcal per day on average... how? Long-term, that's a starvation diet, and that's assuming you consume every gram of everything you get including the cooking oil, the vodka, and the unhealthy amount of sugar.

[edit] I see now that some products were not rationed, but still, this seems like a rather restrictive diet and indeed from the article:

>In mid-1981 thousands of Poles took part in several hunger demonstrations, organized in cities and towns across the country.

>Banners, held by the protesters, stated among others: “Our children are hungry”, “We stand in lines 24 hours a day”, “We want to split bread, not Poland”, “The hungry of all countries – unite!”, and “We are not going to work hungry”.
The "virtually all their material" line is pretty rich. European countries have been sending their military surplus to Ukraine and little more.

I just can't get over how being 8 months pregnant (7 and half months at the time of the crime) was not considered an alibi, or at least considered.

"Wait, the person who reported the crime didn't mention that, surely he would have noticed while they were drinking and fucking and reported it as an obvious distinguishing feature!?"

But nope, just follow through, and I'm willing to bet that for every step in the process the people involved thought it was silly too, but "just followed the system", either because they had no power to do anything else, or out of apathy, or maybe both.

Literally no one won with this: the police and criminal justice system wasted time on an obvious wild goose chase, the victim wasn't helped, and presumably more victims will be created and thus even more work for police.
Science dogmatically accepts some basic human intuitions and bases itself upon them while rejecting others. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNlEtBZxML8 for more info on this. Modern education is indoctrination only with a different set of beliefs. The torture is not eternal in the case of sinning in Islam. Yes, Islam puts the fear of eternal torture into some non-muslims minds for their betterment, for them to be muslim and thus be saved from it. Yet ask millions in the west converting to Islam every single year, they'll tell you they converted because Islam makes actual sense (compatible with human intutitions) while modernity didn't. Islam works with a single person as well as millions, and there's no clerical power structure as per in Christianity. Islam is the single thing ever worked in mass-scale prevention of drugs and alcohol because it's true. Not even Christianity (which Muslims believe has malformed and become too clerical) was able to achieve it, even though alcohol was seen as a sin in many Christian times and places.
But if Facebook is blocking news links in Canada, it doesn’t seem like the law is having the desired effect.
Sure, and scientists need a place to have such conversations.

But publication is not a closed system. The "published, peer-reviewed paper" is frequently an artifact used to decide practical policy matters in many institutions both public and private. To the extent that Science (as an institution in its own right) wants to influence policy, that influence needs to be grounded in reproducible results.

Also, I would not be surprised if stronger emphasis on reproducibility improved the quality of conversation among scientists.
I agree in the same manner I agree we should fix the world hunger problem. :)
Look, I’m not informed or an expert here, but if it’s being given away for free, then the search itself is not the “product”. The way I understand it, Google’s monopoly is over the ad market.

Stoller wrote a book on the subject which I never properly got through in its entirety, but it included a deep dive on what a monopoly is. You are correct - market share is not an anti-trust violation in it’s own. My assumption is that they will be arguing over whether Google is exercising its total control over the system to prevent competition from emerging, and using that control to extract all the value for itself. All while crippling functionality for the customers, not us search engine users in this case - but the advertisers.
