If we do nothing about climate change the everybody's quality of life is going to fall off a cliff. We can fix this problem without going back to the dark ages.
The numbers are somewhat artificially exaggerated since it sounds like the source leak contains what are effectively multiple platform-specific copies of the same game.

That's a pretty common pattern when you're porting to a substantially different system, from a bespoke base like a small launch title, that was never intended to run on anything else. Especially in an era before everyone used vcs tools like git with cheap branches. We used to work on diverging whole copy forks constantly.

Going through this mess and cleaning it all up must have felt incredibly satisfying because of all the low-hanging fruit. It's like a long overdue spring cleaning.
Because activism is exhausting, and we have been withered down and exhausted. And they know.. thats how they get you.. a thousand bee stings and apathetic stares, till you fall, to your knees, to yo your elbows, the head is just resting.. you close your eyes and freedom is gone forever. There is a plan to this relentless onslaught..

It was called safe and it obviously was. You said it is untested and it obviously has been tested extensively. Everything you've said is wrong and disproved with evidence. You have more to say? Back it up.

Why can't you back up a single thing you say with a shred of evidence?
Regardless of whether you thing the return value should be True or False, this behavior violates the Principle of Least Astonishment [0] for a significant number of people.

Such violations in software inevitably lead to bugs that could have been avoided. The real question in my mind isn't what the return value should be. The question is "How can this problem be wholly avoided?"

Some have suggested requiring a default return value when the iterator argument is empty. Others have suggested throwing an error. Perhaps others will suggest the all() function shouldn't exist, although that may be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

It seems that way to you because you're mired in it. But to someone who isn't, such policy doesn't have a tangible impact on their life, or more accurately it doesn't seem to.

In much the same way that the impact of overfishing doesn't feel like it impacts you.
I'm curious if you have an opinion on UMAP. I've found it to behave better (better final model results) than tSNE and PCA for dimensionality reduction tasks, though I'm just a data engineer without any academic ML background.
its also on my list, but it looks like not easy to try, setup procedure is complicated.

I don't disagree at all. I'm just saying that the legal system actually is equipped to deal with this kind of vagueness, which is generally a good thing.
I suppose there is no harm in adding things to robots.txt but I would not expect anyone to honor it. People that work on bleeding edge technology are also commonly the risk takers that move fast, break things while sometimes acting a bit cavalier. Adding to this I assume perhaps incorrectly that these companies have the funding to write their scrapers using Chrome headless so the same techniques I used to block archive.is and other bots will not be useful.

If something should not be scraped I think it should be placed behind strong authentication and the AUP/ToS must state in clear and concise language explicitly what the sites content may be used for. Even then I would expect risk takers to simply ignore it and accept any legal findings to be the cost of doing business. Or perhaps I have become a bit too skeptical and jaded with time and experience. I will go run a lap.
ah yes famously unprofitable instacart! and somehow instacart is a clone of a company founded a year afterwards?

I recently met a boomer and I had the shills, hearing him in Paris in 1968 mounting barricades, feeling that he had an impact on the course of the entire political world, feeling that he was setting the direction while mounting theater plays and opening up girl’s dormitories (reference: What triggered Paris’ May 1968 is the girls being locked up at night in their universities).

Compared to today. Even the major majority of the population can’t do a thing about the force propaganda, and the ones who protest see a million AI-generated flame pieces in newspapers.
Yeah there's always a massive difference between who's posting a lot online vs who's just playing and enjoying the game. But you have to calibrate Steam achievements based on who's played the game for more than a few minutes.

The "Eco unfriendly" achievement shows about 60% of people who launched the game played for more than a couple hours, which is quite normal. So out of those, about 30% of players finished the game.
I should probably watch the video, but does he mention anything about dioxin? This has been the main source of pain for my father and his colleagues building sea food farms.

Weird then, that amazing software like Minecraft is written in Java, while Haskell seem to be mostly used for writing monad tutorials.
> There are other mammals who live much longer than humans.

This didn't ring true to me so I did a bit of reading. AFAICT there's one[0] species of mammal that can live much longer than us. We're at least tied for second-longest lifespan of all mammals.

Yes to this. We can be out of the norm - and emphasize that - without being "funny". Funny is a dangerous quick road to "unprofessional". Too risky for a resume. Pretty risky for an interview beyond a small dose and even that better be "safe humor".
I just threw away an admin site written with trpc+react and rewrote it with htmx. Deleting so much code felt glorious. Everything feels more simple and as a result adding features is so much easier.
I read "we got tired of reimplementing Linux kernel syscalls and functionality" as the reason. Like network file systems. The Cloud Run client base kept asking for more and more features, and they punted to just running the Linux kernel.

Has anyone tried Space Exploration mod on steam deck? Does it run alright?

I've been meaning to try it, but also know its going to suck me in hard if it works well, so have been waiting for the right time.
California is not imploding. The anecdotes about people abandoning the state to move to TX and FL ignore the fact that the non-wealthy will discover that their taxes in TX are higher (and the weather is terrible, they can't smoke weed, get an abortion, or enjoy LGBTQ rights).

Ireland is an example of race-to-the-bottom. Their corporate friendly policies benefit them in the short term, but screw over the rest of the developed world. We need to tax the wealthy and corporations, not compete for the favor of our feudal lords.

I would argue the exact opposite, that the legal system does operate based on literal interpretations of words, rather than the "spirit" of them.

And that's why "legalese" is a thing. Every possible interpretation needs to be handled to prevent loopholes.
Condolences on the immediate situation. It will get better.

I'd guess you're feeling stressed, and maybe your resilience (which is good) has you leaning on your sense of humor. And that humor can get mixed with stress and defensiveness, for some odd combinations.

The resume probably isn't the place for that resilience exercise. You have experience to be proud of, so try to focus on that, and not feel insecure. (Similarly, don't have "lost" in your email address.)

Think of your resume as a place to show competence and corporate decorum. Imagine that some of the people looking at your resume are looking for red flags more than anything else. Also, imagine people who want to hire you, but it's easier and lower risk for them, if the resume that corporate looks at and files away doesn't have red flags in it.

Also: sadly, ageism is a thing. Most techbros don't want to see "20+ years" of experience. Maybe cut the "BUZZWORDS" section entirely.

I'm not an expert on this, but you might want to just start with the "EXPERIENCE" section (with your current good bulletpoints, and keywords, for each job). Then add on a section after that for any selling points that can't be put under "EXPERIENCE", such as independent projects. Name, city, and contact info at top. And delete everything else. If it fits on one page, all the better.

Maybe think of your resume as projecting the confident image you'd like to have right now, not the resilient humor that feels necessary right now.

Good luck. There's good stuff in your resume, and you can do it.
I would pay three figures for someone to do this for me, for all these brokers.

I'm talking about a big headline mission to survey everything in the vicinity of the outer 2 smaller gas giants. Think Cassini or Galileo (too bad about that antena). Sure these missions take a long time. Means we have to start today so our kids can see the results.

All 4 gas giants have plenty of moons with places to land. But I'm not even talking that far out in the future. I just want a suite of scientific instruments in a wide orbit around a gas giant surveying every moon they can get near.

Grvity assist slingshot opportunities to get to the outer giants don't come along every decade and yet when one does come up the proposed mission opportunity and it's budget gets instead allocated to yet another damn mars rover.
Indeed, not to be completely throw Klei under the bus, but I started playing Oxygen Not Included, and the simulation quality is night and day. ONI has race conditions, memory corruption bugs, non-seeded RNG, duplication bugs. You couldn't play a non-glitched playthrough even if you tried. At some point, you're going to make an infinite spill or a liquid lock on complete accident.

Meanwhile factorio allows you to benchmark it by opening a save and running it for a set number of ticks -- it's just that stable in its simulation.

Not to say that ONI isn't a fun game, it has different elements (e.g. dupe management) that make it fun despite its instability.
I have a reverse osmosis system for my well water that filters out both PFAS and micro plastics.
I think it would be interesting to see an image of the night sky that shows the heliospheres of the stars, rather than just the pinpricks of visible light. From the distance of the Voyagers, our sun looks like pretty much all the rest of the stars in the sky, except that its heliosphere is massive - apparently 14 trillion suns could fit into it. Same for gravitational effects - at the scale of space, it's amazing how a single point of light can have such a huge effect on the space around it.
Earlier this year, I found a big yellow blob in my garden with no idea what it was. It disappeared the next day (basically baked in the sun) then reappeared a few days later several yards away. The color in person was really striking! It turns out it is a Jasmine slime mold [0]. It has been creeping around my garden off and on ever since.

I think what the OP is getting at is that not knowing about something in great detail doesn't mean it's not important. Folks'll hew to what they find immediately pressing or have an inclination toward. Which is to say, the world is monstrously complicated and we are small and there's only so much an individual can focus on in their life. The collapse of fish populations due to overfishing will cause starvation, a lot of it. The erosion of personal privacy will abet a certain kind of tyranny. I don't think these are different scales of important but they are different problems that require detailed knowledge to comprehend to a good degree, which implies time and interest.
Honestly probably not that hard, could train a model/lora with about 30 images, so gather more than 30 good looking icons, train a model and then take the time to prompt and generate all the icons you need. Then do touchups in gimp/photoshop.

At most would take me a week or so to do I think, more likely less than a day.

My understanding is that all the covers of fast food (fries holder, hamburger wrapper, inside of paper soda cup) are also covered in PFAS — so far disposable coffee cups. Anything “paper” that is in contact with food, really.

Except for the traditional British fish-and-chips newspaper, but that one should have traditional lead-based ink for flavour.
There probably are too many people in SF and spreading out would increase much needed housing supply in that market.

On the topic of property tax, that very well might be true for CA, although NY and TEX property tax seems similar despite the average home in TEX being almost half as much. https://www.rocketmortgage.com/learn/property-taxes-by-state. Additionally, there may be other cost of living factors that make TEX more or less attractive.

This is really cool! Not at all the mental picture I had for "slime molds," even having heard of them before.

I've got a question. What does "Prepperism" look like outside the United States where there isn't a sycophantic individualism-at-literally-any-cost mentality that underpins every psychotic decision we make as a country and as individuals living in it?

They are both taken into account in the calculation. I assumed power factor of 0.85.
Back when I was into programming contests, I wrote a program to find the smallest selection of cities, the letters of which would cover the alphabet in correct order.

I even felt a small urge to take pictures of the place name signs of those cities and turn it into art. Soon after that stroke of genius thought, I stumbled upon an exhibition by a Dutch artist [1] who visited nearly every city in The Netherlands, took a picture of himself, his car, and the place name sign, and I lost interest.

Obviously I got the inspiration in an Amsterdam metro line that stops at ABCOUDE [2].

It might be interesting to retry this with the entire OpenStreetMap database.

Yes, but then you are implementing somewhat arbitrary restrictions on everybody, in order to work around an abusive subset of users. All else equal, you want to be able to advertise uploads that are as fast as possible (eg. to entice valuable customers to migrate from your competitor to you).

But I do think that targeted throttling is a good way to deal with this problem. As I said elsewhere, detecting abuse is heuristic and false positives are horrible when the enforcement is to shut down accounts, but a false positive resulting in throttling is not so bad.
> But they are not a plausible global replacement at this point

Do they need to be? Cut back on crap (i.e. advertising billboards, city lights), invest into decentralized storage for households (let's be real, even the demand of a home with two teenagers with gaming rigs can easily be met with a standard Powerwall), and get as many industrial processes shifted to shift operations to save on nighttime base load. The remainder can be, at least in Continental Europe and America, caught by a well-built continental grid (China manages thousands of km long lines!) and biogas/hydrogen peakers.
> Why does your comment exist?

My comment exists because I’ve read the text of the GDPR in full, and have signed hundreds of DPA contracts in order to comply with GDPR. And I had a spare moment to share my thoughts.

The TLDR of my comment is I think too many people see GDPR as some sort of blessing without realizing it doesn’t actually do as much to protect privacy as they assume.

You’re welcome to downvote my comment if you don’t like it! But why post this from a throwaway?

The difference is mostly noticeable in that the guest kernel takes up some RAM[1]. If you were really packing things tight, wasting some megabytes per container could start to hurt.

Sure, but that means that students today aren’t getting bachelor’s degrees (the “expensive stuff”) by choice, but by necessity. That’s tens of thousands poorer (and ~4 years older) because of a shifting job market.
If $10 is too expensive, then that article was not important anyway.
The entire article can be summarized like this:

"I define intelligence an innate ability to juggle information well, which is independent of memory. If you're trying to think, but have forgotten some key information and not have taken notes, you're not less intelligent, only less informed; therefore, note taking cannot make you more intelligent, only better informed."

It's a unikernel really only if you rip out any security boundaries inside the VM and link the kernel into the app. If you still maintain a syscall boundary inside the VM, it's just another kernel.
This is a big question for me. The CDK style form of authoring IaC is way better than config files in HCL/YML/JSON. It has some rough edges and I do wish it wasn't so gung-ho on the magical object-oriented constructor side-effects, but it's still a net improvement.

CDKTF looks promising. How will OpenTF interplay with it?
