I get why would people be opposed to these changes on a more "philosophical" level (and I think I am) but I'm not sure that much changes financially for most developers who make less than 1 million in revenue per game (and they overall seem to be somewhat fair(ish) in relation to what Unity provides and compared to 30% storefront fees or what ad companies skim):

- If your company was making over $200k you already couldn't be on Personal/Plus and would have had to upgrade to Pro, so the $0.2 fee seems irrelevant.

- The current limit is based on company's entire revenue, it seems they changed it to per game? If so you're actually now better off if you have many games which make about $100k or so.

- The only issues I see is that if there is huge unexpected surge in downloads/sales which might leave with a large bill (which you could've mostly avoided by upgrading to Pro in advance). Which is not the most unlikely scenario.

You sold you game for a fixed fee to Apple/MS/etc. (Gamepass, Arcade..). I doubt many games there cost less than 200k (thought I don't really know)? So you're probably on Pro. But if your overall revenue for the game is over $1 million you'd still be on the the hook to pay for additional downloads (above 1 mil) with zero increase in revenue..
Well, they kinda had to rush that meeting because they spent too much time on the previous meeting listing all the reasons why the microsoft store is a functioning package system and not at all a din of inequity.
How to avoid a green-metals crunch
Random thing I never thought about: Taiwan and the southern part of the Japanese archipelago are really close to the boundary between the Philippine/Eurasian plates, and I wonder how they go about insulating fabs from seismic noise
Lucky you. I have and it was an absolute nightmare, had to survive on no money for a couple of weeks until the reversal went through. Never again.
Not in the sense I am saying.

I believe that "Success Academy" does a lottery after you apply. This is selection bias again as they disqualify some applicants (almost always by a proxy for socioeconomic cohort).

The "lottery" I am referencing is when students get assigned to any available school which takes public money solely based upon the lottery. A school cannot refuse a student that has been placed into their school by the lottery.

What this does is that it removes selection bias. A school can no longer decline a student simply because they belong to a lower socioeconomic cohort (or use any of the proxy measures that indicate lower socioeconomic cohort--religion, race, ADHD, etc.).

Once you remove this bias, the alternative schools almost always come in looking worse than the public schools. This is unsurpising as the alternative schools are almost always smaller and cannot amortize the fixed costs as effectively.

We know how to "fix" education. You make teacher to student ratios somewhere around 1 teacher (2 teachers if elementary age) to 5-10 students and then place students of roughly equivalent levels together.

EVERYBODY hates this for their own reasons.
It's more due to the fact that you can only buy it in tiny amounts "because some people use it to make meth." As far as I know, that restriction predated the show by several years at least.
+1 to this. A "pick pick blow repeat" technique with a flosser pick typically gets everything out for me. Surprisingly, it most often ends up being jeans pocket lint.
Yeah, the filtering was broken but I've fixed it. It should be much better now. I don't think the score is entirely useless. I also don't know why you would want to separate the daily and weekend scores. While I agree that anyone optimizing for one wouldn't care a lot about the other, there's no harm in knowing the other side of the coin. Most of the cars are sports cars but many are also everyday cars and for what its worth, it doesn't hurt to know what a sports car would score on daily use. In any case, thanks for taking the time to use the site. Appreciate the feedback!
I have such use case: I have Java project I develop, I also used phind-codellama-36B-q8 with very satisfying results to aid the development.

Can I train it further using the project source to let the model "understand" the project context more?
I like it, especially the discovery part.
> You don't? Those are either free space, or held by handle by a running process, so you just leave them be and assume they will be released sooner or later.

Well that's what I was getting at, it would suck to not be able to move around file blocks just because a process is using the file. That "sooner or later" might well be "until the next reboot". The current strategy makes it possible to live-shrink and live-defragment volumes on Windows - ironically, saving you a reboot in those cases compared to Linux.

But actually, maybe not - see the edit in my original comment.
There are already many services and APIs for doing this. It’s more like:

A: There are a dozen ways to do this correctly. Which right way should we pick?

B: I don’t know, I found this code on the internet. Should I just use it?

A: Sure, if it’s on the internet it must be the right way.
Thank you very much for the thoughtful reply.

RE the libraries, while it is true that I can't find anything made specifically for Usenet in Go, Usenet itself is just an extension of the Telnet protocol[0], and there are Telnet clients in Go[1] and Node[2]. It probably isn't simple, but I'm sure working with OrbitDB wasn't easy either!

RE the resilience of content on Usenet, the vast majority of binaries are heavily encrypted, and doesn't make sense to anyone without the key, despite being conveyed en-masse between the world's 10-ish full-scale Usenet backbones [3]. I'm proposing that the backend of a service that makes use of Usenet could be similar, with a single 'background server' on one trusted machine enough to continuously push the history to Usenet. A regular user client could then search for the latest version of this history and quickly refresh their side from Usenet, regardless of the status of IPFS at the time.

RE democratic access to technology, at least with Superhighway84 it was very expensive for me to actually run the software, as I have a small allocation of bandwidth from my ISP and not much I can do about that in my area, and I ultimately had to delete it due to ongoing transfers of 3GB/day running the IPFS node. Quiet itself notes a limit of 30-100 individuals with its application - I'm proposing that using the one remaining federated multicast technology with some modern encryption might help with issues around blasting data everywhere from a bandwidth-constrained environment. I know that definitely in Africa, there are ongoing issues with bandwidth and networks that we forget about in the West. Usenet, with extremely lean network overheads, could be part of the answer.

I do agree with your vision of a future of truly peer-to-peer technologies, but for those of us who are bandwidth-constrained or otherwise limited in our access to those technologies, having a technology-agnostic application that just 'does magic' to do whatever it needs to do with your content is what's going to make a majority of users happy.

I remember a fairly sketchy bit of gear at my old university that an amateur could have definitely made for themselves (if I recall correctly the dish was made with chicken wire). They used it for observing the Vela pulsar for a very long time (like years and years) and looked at how the pulses changed with time.
The best argument about why and how governments punish people was.

If you consider the hoary old governments that implemented this stuff you find that contrary to what you might assume they can't even begin to care about a the guy that got in a fight and died. The farmer whose chickens were rustled. Life is cheap and the peasants lives are barely worth the paper to mark their existence.

What do they care about. The the system keeps functioning. Someone does something like beating a man do death in a drunken brawl, stole some chickens. That causes problems if unchecked.

So what do you do. You reserve retribution to you and you alone. So that exacting private retribution is a challenge to your authority. You also reserve truth, only you get to say a man is a badie or not. And once you've done so you force his community to accept him back.

If you accept the above punishing his family makes things worse not better. You gave him 20 lashes and he's butthurt about that, so what. Give his family 5 lashes each and they hate you not him.
My honest knee-jerk reaction to this is that it's not morally wrong for the exact reasons you gave. But then again it is a hypothetical that is all but impossible to occur in real life, as even the fact that the man is being judged would require that we (and thus the woman as well) know it happened.

> I suppose you could argue in the other direction that Macbooks are way overpriced. :-)

I did drop $3.5k on my M1 Max MBP though and have zero regrets. And I plan on keeping it for 8-10 years. My previous laptop was a 2011 MacBook Pro which lasted about that long.

I just haven't ever spent more than ~$450 on a phone so far. The lag and the battery life on my current phone is starting to get pretty annoying. I might end up buying if it is a significantly better experience.

> Are there any examples of family member punishments deterring actual criminals from committing actual crimes?

Denmark has this strange law that allows families to be kicked out of apartments in certain areas if their children continues to commit crimes (and let's be honest it's targeted at male immigrants from the middle east). So if a young man living at home is caught committing crime repeatably, then the family will get a warning letting them know that their sons activities can cause them to lose their apartment. The idea is that the parents will step in and take action where the government can't or fails.

Not sure if it deters crime, but it does help motivate families to step in.
For years I've suggested radio amateurs set networks up to investigate this. The advantage of this is that there are many of them and they are spread over a diverse area.

The strength of carriers on certain bands could be monitored like a sort of mesh network and
changes in signal strength etc. that would likely be the signature of a pending earthquake could be quickly identified.

Hearing the name, I first thought this was about reducing complexity and removing unnecessary dependencies on cloud services. But it seems rather about adding yet another layer of complexity: You still have to track the state on the server, but now you want to also track it on the client.

> Then make a debit card system with cash back and customer protection. And kill a system that screw people with useless debts when there is no need for it.

The debt is inherent to making the consumer protection work: the card issuer doesn't and can't take your money, they can only create a debt and ask you to repay it, and if you didn't get what you paid for you can dispute the billing before a penny leaves your account.

Hey pardner. I too have some rainwater collection here at my place. I have not dipped very far into it this summer though since I only have about 1150 gallons and that would be gone a long time ago. I have a water well that we have been using this summer to keep our garden going and I am lucky that it still produces enough for us. When they drilled and started fracking all this out here about 12-15 years ago quite a few wells near me went dry or began to sand out.

This is the first year in more than 20 that I have used well water to water anything on the surface. I have always planted things and let them figure out whether they could survive on their own. That is the expensive way to start an orchard or manage a garden. I decided that I needed to do whatever it takes to keep things alive this year. Even with the rain over the last two days (meager accumulation) I am still in extreme drought conditions being more than 13" under normal average cumulative totals for this calendar day. This looks to be the driest year in more than 20 years unless we get more than 6" between now and end of the year.

With the propane tank lid you might try to screen it off with aluminum window screen to prevent access to the inside of the lid.

Good luck.
The point is that there's nothing inherently immoral about family punishment from a consequentialist lens. Consequentialist morality is based solely on outcomes; therefore, if family punishment results in fewer crimes perpetrated on innocent people, there is not a coherent consequentialist argument for family punishment being immoral. It suggests that there's some cost/benefit ratio at which family punishment could be considered morally correct.

Even using a case and a screen protector I cracked the glass on my 11 Pro Max. Sometimes you're just unlucky. The only other phones I've cracked the screen on was a iPhone 5S (no case) and a Nokia N73. And I'm super clumsy.
I think the cost calculation here does not reflect the actual scenario where most people face. In real world scenario, we don't get inputs queued up to millions and wait for the GPU to inference them continuously at 100% utilization. We need to ensure the user get their response in time, and assume that we get all the inputs spread out evenly within a month, we have to look at the cost of running GPU for a month vs using OpenAI API.
You're not alone, this is another reason I like old games as well as the platforms without achievements like the switch, because they generally avoid this or at least it can be hidden.

I honestly don't like this project at all and its existence is another reason I will only sparingly share my love for old games with people because I know many people do it for reasons other than enjoyment...it is quickly becoming a "niche" and a "scene" which I hate.

I won't rail against its existence, I'm similar to you. As long as these people stay in their lane it doesn't affect me. People pumping their game stocks is an issue as it makes old games even more inaccessible but that's somewhat downstream from projects like this.

This whole Apple presentation could be an email. Really there is nothing worthwhile showing, which is OK by the way. However making it a full blown 1h video felt weird for Apple.

Literally best feature they released is USB-C which they only did because of EU regulations to begin with.
The iPhone is designed to be used with a case. That’s why they make no effort to remove the camera bump.
It is and always has been.

DHH calls that "opinionated". I think bring opinionated is great. Offer a well thought out, polished set of tools and tech. Others can use that easily as long as they follow the opinions.

If they don't, well, there's plenty of other frameworks, because maybe Rails isn't for you.

I've mostly stopped using rails for this reason. His opinions aren't mine.
It's actually not technically possible for a faulty USB-C cable to function as a (> 5V) charging cable without data, because the power delivery negotiation happens over the data connection.

For determining whether it's USB 2 or not maybe (and even then it might not be so clear cut).

For actual use the actual practical max speed is far more important. It would be useless if you wanted something better than USB 2.0 and it only did 1.1 times the USB 2 limit for example.

You've made a baseless assumption and inferred an argument from that.

All.

You can't have a USB hub that can't be controlled over USB, it wouldn't be able to work at all. The spec requires hubs to be active devices that show up on the bus and that can handle requests from the host, such as selective suspend or port power control.

Whether your hub actually offers a physical ability to turn off power of individual ports is another matter. The spec allows port power to be ganged (all ports being disabled at once after all of them have been requested to be disabled) and for all ports to be always powered - you can find out which mode the hub implements by reading wHubCharacteristics field in the hub descriptor.
I suppose the problem is that if that becomes too prevalent, people will stop paying their bill in the hope that the credit card company will give them a discount

I use a case because glass is just impossibly slippery. Breaking the screen is not the worst thing that can happen when dropping a phone. You could also drop it on someone's head or lose the phone by dropping it in the water (or some other inaccessible place) or because it slips out of pockets and bags so easily.

I like my phones to feel rubbery. It makes them far easier to use with one hand as well.
This type of philosophical reasoning is morally relative, imo, and also comes from some sort of collectivised, god-like perspective.

An individual is capable of doing right or wrong, where I define wrong as initiating harm to others. That individual can be held to account and we would call that justice. That individual has a family, brother, father, etc - they have nothing to do with his bad actions. You cannot hold them to account for another. That is the answer, it is that simple.

The reason people get confused, is because people are encouraged to think collectively rather than individually. "We did this", "for the greater good those people should do that", etc. They are invoking a "we" which is non-existent - one can only speak for oneself.

However, this "we" that is invoked (that doesn't actually exist), appears to be a collective of all of us with godly rights and ability. This allows one to believe that "we" can stand in for god/nature/innate morality, and can work out the greater utility, as if it can accurately model the potential outcomes before choosing one, as ifgreatest utility is the measure of 'right'. Also, the idea tricks one into thinking that for "we" normal moral understanding need not apply, utility is the moral measure.

I find this sort of thinking highly incontinent, based on a flawed, but commonly held misunderstanding of what one is. One is not "we", or "us".
Yes, all the time. Every time anyone posts a comment here or reads an article to form a opinion, without instituting a blind study behind it, they are deciding to proceed without nuanced research. The point is that in doing so we are at risk of confusing hype for evidence.

As in the abstract here, often the signal comes just as much from the fact that something needs to be said at all - not just the content of what is said
The same is true about Gradle's Kotlin DSL, and it is hard to understand what exactly is happening under the hood and what the correct way to invoke things really is. With Scala this problem is even more pronounced, because its type system is more powerful, so you can build even more intractable abstractions.

The "Scala works wonderfully with motivated engineers" is basically damning with faint praise. "Smart languages" always work well with single high IQ engineers, the litmus test is does it work in a team of engineers with varying talents, which is simply how the real world works. Even if everyone is above average, those types of engineers are often very opinionated and prefer different slices of the cake, which results is social friction and incidental complexity. The C++ guys know exactly what that is like.
