I've learned long ago to never second guess Blizzard on the complexity of a "fix" for anything that goes awry in this game. There are innumerable "how hard can it be" bugs that show up that, evidently, are hard to fix. The ripple affects seem to carry to all sorts of unintended consequences. And there have been uncountable bugs where you go "How the heck did they manifest that after this patch?"

I remember the Blood Plague, I was there when it happened. I distinctly recall someone in front of the Ironforge Auction House calling out "everyone come to me, it's better when we get close". Which, of course, it's not. It's a bad idea. But it was his idea of a good time. The solution was to abandon the cities. But there were always folks who enjoyed spreading the plague. And, honestly, that never bothered me. It IS fun. It was a fun encounter, and certainly fun in terms of the whole dynamic going on, appreciating what a novel "World Event" it became.

World Events is WoW have almost always led to disaster, so we don't get them anymore. The game simply doesn't handle huge volumes of players in a single area well. Their last big try was the Gate Opening that turned the Silithus zone into a slide show for most of the day. But as a player, it was still a great, epic experience, because you know it will never happen again. In a game of continual routine, outliers are always fun.

The Blood Plague was a novel event, it made the World more "alive". I'm glad I was there to see it and be part of it. Just one of those things the makes WoW history even richer.
I think it's more like a question, what prompted the author of the thread to submit the rules? Did they change or something?
Sigh.

Giant forest fires are caused by invasive humans and neglecting forests. Climate change plays a minor role by modification of seasons, but the primary cause is overwhelmingly humans tampering with the ecosystem. Don't kid yourself. It's human interference in the ecosystem.

The solution is "all the above". Yes, producing less co2 is important. But what will make an immediate and far reaching impact is proper forest management. Fire is a natural part of an ecosystem but humans tend to interfere with that.

Prescribed fires at chokepoints to create firebreaks is the easiest and most effective way to create healthy forests. Logging cuts can create firebreaks and benefit local economies.

Unfortunately this isn't the narrative told in the news.

Go has a complete GC. It's not like Go relies on reference counting.

The biggest problem is that it's non-moving, so fragmentation is an issue. But that's true of many languages, e.g. C/C++.

I'm not sure that right will protect you. The right applies to "something you know" not "something you have". You have a brain.

A good analogy is smartphone passwords. Authorities can't make you share your password (something you know), but they can make you unlock you phone with a fingerprint (something you have).

In my experience, in the order of importance:

1. hire qualified people

2. document all the requirements and business decisions

3. rigorous design reviews

4. mandatory code reviews

5. implement tests for each requirement

6. have a regression testing suite

7. have a user acceptance test environment, separate from production

Am I missing the point or is the “using” thing just a very over-engineered destructor that you can FORGET to call? It’s nothing like Python’s “with” that lets you define a scope for an object to be destructed early. If you forget, or simply don’t know that the object supports “disposal”, will the object simply never be disposed? Or will the TSC not compile if you leave out a “using” for a disposable object?

Windows XP - Windows 7 for many years.

Then I turned to the dark side and bought a used cheese grater Mac Pro (dual CPU Xeon) for a few years before and I always found OSX weird - dropping to command line on occasion to get things done and definitely not very friendly but tolerated it for the sake of the hardware.

When I started the SAP part of my career, I got a Windows 7 laptop for SAPGUI and realized it was nicer - the Mac Pro went to a new home after I had to hack the boot firmware to install Sierra and realized the bells was tolling on the hardware.

Could not afford a Mac Pro replacement so I bought a Dell - A decent specced Mac Studio M2 (64GB) would cost me more than my car is worth.
> Space is not a amateur game

So you're saying that the people who designed and launched the Viking lander back in the 70s (it landed on Mars when Musk was about 5) were amateurs?

Well as far as Mars exploration is concerned they achieved much more than him with basically stone age tech compared to what's available now...
However, having smartphones does not mean to go toward and accepting more and more situations where they do become mandatory to enter to public places.

As we expressed before in this topic, applications, websites and their back-ends depends themselves on lots of other things to be reliable. Not even considering security issues or privacy abuses that are reportedly common. This is not an individual problem, it's a society choice that does not seems to be advised.

I'm not against adding methods for accessing such places with some computer connected to a network just like smartphone, smart watches and stuff... If this can be useful, handy and neutral as tools should stay.

Still, I personally don't wish to find myself or anyone reduced, worse, denied by not wearing a specific smartphone (that would even maybe require to accept and sign many private third party conditions) for enjoying a direct interaction with "normal" people having a restaurant or a museum for example.

I would consider extreme to think that, because "everyone have a smartphone" then it should be normal to require that for everything. Implying (not blindly) accepting whole bunches of consequences (that most people seems to want to ignore because otherwise they would feel reduced or rejected) coming with.

Perhaps we don't see the same reality under the same prism and education. This is is not some point. It's just to say... What I sadly observe in general is a total lack of competence or understanding of the information technologies, actors and implications. And outside the fact it is another great source of pollution, they also represent a good opportunity for locking down people and tracking them from bad actors intentions.

So, I wish that it won't be misused or forced, particularly in situations were this wipes-out the freedom to do simple things that works fine, in any ways. Just what's in my mind if we would ask me my opinion.

Thanks for your exchanges there.

Microscopy could also be a good route. Microbial life should look pretty distinct from inorganic matter, even if everything in the soil sample were dead by the time it was imaged. As far as I know, we have not sent a microscope up capable of resolving even a large mammalian cell, let alone resolve 1 micron bacteria (if these microbes are even to be similar in size as those on Earth). I suspect the vibrations during launch make it especially challenging to actually get a powerful microscope out to Mars unharmed.

There are precious few type safe templating systems, and they're mostly fairly niche. And even then, while they're often type safe, the developer experience is typically lacking, with minimal IDE support. Meanwhile, Vue redesigned their API partly because types were difficult to properly implement in previous versions, and then built an entire LSP to facilitate that.

Likewise, your cursory search for CSS modules in rails mainly returns blog posts where people try and hack things together to get CSS modules working well enough. The top result for me literally wrote "I tried to find a cool way to integrate CSS Modules into our Rails project, but I cannot", then explains how they parsed CSS by themselves. (I can't get further than that, because Medium.) Meanwhile, adding CSS modules to a project bundled with Vite is literally just a matter of naming your files `.module.css` instead of just `.css`.

Tailwind is a bit of an exception, as it seems to be more popular with backend frameworks, I think because it relies less on Javascript idioms like imports. I suspect we'll see it - or at least similar ideas - integrated into more frameworks over time.

But to me coming from the frontend, this sort of stuff is table-stakes - having IDE support, having Typescript support (and good TS support), being immediately accessible without spending a day fiddling with fifteen different plugins, etc.

To be honest, I really like the idea but I dislike that it is based on a microcontroller faking the components.

It reminds me of a similar experience I had in a museum where the experiment had you cycling to give power to a bulb. The quicker you cycled, the more power you gave to the bulb and the brighter it was. But it was based on some microcontroller and the light bulb’s brightness was not proportional to how fast you cycled. It has like 3 preprogrammed brightness. It completely failed to give kids the intuition of the physics behind the phenomenon.

Anyway, it’s probably an unfair comparison but I like having the real deal when learning or teaching.
> What makes you think cloud is cheap, or reliable?

"cheap" is relative, if your data is not large (gigabytes) then cost will likely be much smaller compared to expenses on engineer supporting custom solution.

> if the uptime is less than 99.95 %

It doesn't mean their services experience this downtime. They have their reputation supporting revenue on the line. Customers will go somewhere else if experience frequent downtime.

But the point is that with custom pgsql installation it is nontrivial to setup and support any kind of fault tolerance, plus you have a chance of all other kind of outages: network, your hosting provider, etc.

> From the early days when icons carried inherent meaning

That was never true. The icon for "print" remains something you have to learn. Even the trash can icon had to be explained before it became "intuitive".

My chrome browser has a row of icons across the top. Only the <- and -> icons are reasonably intuitive.
I believe that some of the most valuable short-term use cases for AI/ML seem to be "feature, not a product" - this means that the incumbents making various products can unlock lots of competitive value by adding those features in a way that is difficult for newcomers, because they not only need to develop the AI/ML feature but also have to build a competitive solution for the core system which generates or contains the data on which the feature relies.

Like, it's plausible that many organizations would be willing to pay lots of money for a "ChatGPT which knows my internal documents" AI/ML feature for the Sharepoint/Confluence/etc they are currently using, but a would be very wary of migrating those internal documents to some upcoming startups' new document management system.

I've touched on this in another thread under this comment - basically, I think that it doesn't help with the "optimise for curiosity" aspect of the site. Downvoting comments solely based on disagreeing discourages people from posting insightful yet unpopular comments, which is a net negative for curiosity here.

You are the one making a logical leap. We do know that the Earth's climate is entering conditions never seen during human history. We know how CO2 warms up the Earth. We just don't have a detailed knowledge of exactly how and where it affects weather.

The operating assumption must be that things that never happened (or very rarely happened) will start to happen more frequently.

You are arguing that as long as climatologists cannot reliably predict any particular disaster, we should assume the climate should be "business as usual." That's not science, that's just refusing to acknowledge the reality.
I'm using Syncthing to keep in sync between a desktop and two Android phones over tailscale, and it works pretty good, but I have to occasionally open the Syncthing app on Android to "bump" it and get it to sync. It's in a git repo (which syncthing handles great even though there are some older posts online telling you not to do that), and on the desktop I can review and "sanity check" stuff and then commit it to ensure it is safe. Overall a good solution.

I totally agree with you. My point is I see people (usually boomers) sometimes make the logical fallacy of assuming not fully developed brain = undeveloped brain. Probably Uber should have some sort of extended test or trial period, limited working hours, special speed monitoring, or other safety controls in place for younger drivers. Of course this would be too cost-prohibitive.

It’s also unfortunate to see a large group of people dismissed based on a single statistic, when in reality brain development is a much more complex process.
> Is there a point at which money would exchange hands before a formal suit is filed?

For a purely monetary resolution to avoid a lawsuit, yes, but in regulatory cases rather than disputes between private parties where such an outcome is often preferred to a lawsuit occurring, the government will often not be interested in such an outcome, and will instead prefer a consent decree with behavioral restrictions that have strong legal consequences. These have to have an actual active case, as they are are court orders to which both parties stipulate, not private agreements. (“Settlement” can cover either type of resolution.)

My suggestion is to focus on some of these:

* Protocol implementations(e.g. TCP, HTTP, MIDI)

* Smaller compilers(PUC-Rio Lua, Forth-80)

* Commercial video game sources [0]

When studying protocols, you can compare apples-to-apples because the protocol has to work the same way by design, but the implementation can vary. With compilers, you're getting a look into programming in its maximally symbolic form - and every strategy a compiler uses is one you can directly apply to abstract your own code. And commercial video games have another mode of apples-to-apples in that the original release - the dirty, meets-deadline stuff - often can be compared with fan remakes and patches, which have the luxury of an exact specification and no deadlines. To actually ship in industry, you have to accept and know good dirty code hacks, but it's worth comparing them to their counterparts.
