Except those farms don't do any original research and just copy off each other. They're littered with mistakes and you will see the same mistake pop up across all of them.

These days for obscure terms, you don't even get the luxury of reading garbage written by people who barely understand the topic at hand, instead you get meaningless fluff generated en masse using LLMs.

Honestly, I'd rather spend time parsing whatever doxygen spits out than try to figure out what the needlessly verbose yet inaccurate LLM output is trying to get at.

The joke is that uneducated users routinely shared whole drives or system directories, including personal files and configuration data with passwords, but it could also be used as a trick if you didn't have a big drive, or anything more valid to share.

As for file access, I doubt that many people have used non-administrator accounts on their own home computers. It was recognized when UAC was added to distinguish “real administrative tasks” for the administrator. TrustedInstaller limiting and 32-bit/64-bit virtualization divide happened later.

Neopets used to officially support translation into languages besides English. Now it does not. I wonder if having to comply with international laws is the reason they backed off.
I believe this is very true, which is to say that digital voting being 'safe' is really a fallacy. Digital media is, by its very nature, eminently falsifiable. All the way to the substrate and back again.

Voting can be assisted by digital technologies, but should not be impinged upon by them.

Having an auditable trail, with paper, means that when the lights go out, the count can still go on.

Always remember, none of this works without the grid. We have built extremely fragile, frangible society upon a highly specious assumption: that up (or down) always means on ..
Closer elections means they can't call it quite as early, more mail-in ballots post-COVID (these cant be counted early even if they get delivered early), almost certainly some changes to how we consume the news or how the news presents the details.
Optics. The person who says “yeah, about those TPS reports” is the same person providing upper leadership with reports where they are showing detailed progress towards initiatives. Regardless of how they get there. They see resources, not people, because they themselves are a resource for upper leadership. Empathy flows downhill. Maybe all those opinion pieces about how to be a good manager are from folks needing an outlet to vent about their bad one. That’s ok.
The point is, results are what the business wants to see. Bad managers often deliver those “good results” at the expense of those “resources” beneath them. Constantly hiring empty chairs to fulfill the requirements to getting results.

It’s a tough game.
Football, not soccer, of course.
The cooler you can keep things while drying them, the more flavor the final result has. Airflow is important; but only up to a (rather small) velocity: as long as air is circulating around everything and not static you're good; beyond that you're just going to be adding heat and dust.

Air will soak up an astounding quantity of water, but it takes time. I cold dry flowers at room temp in a closed cabinet (no outside air ventilation, full internal re-circulation) for 4 to 7 days, usually. Depends on density and temp. If I need to rush I'll use a rock salt dehydrator bucket in the cabinet.
I don't know about the "on Gnome" part, specifically, but I think Ryan has done work on SDL on contract, or contributed to SDL as part of contract work on e.g. game ports. He's a prolific guy with many stories to tell about the Linux desktop, see https://icculus.org/~icculus/

I do get your point, though, and it's true, there's of course a lot of manhours on e.g. app fixes and porting, and many other things, that happen on a volunteer basis in the community to make it all work.
> worst case scenario is 10%

You seem to have pulled this number out of thin air, and I cannot see a scenario where this is true.

Let's pretend you sell 300,000 units at $0.99 with the Unity Personal Plan.

Units: 300,000
Gross: $297,000
Unity Fee: $20,000

That puts unity at 6.7%. The issue isn't Unity, it's the developers bad business model for charging $0.99 while opting to use Unity.
Does this mean the developer has to pay a license fee if someone acquires and plays their game in a "non-standard" way?

Aside from creating CertMagic, I think CertMagic has a few benefits over autocert. It is designed to scale to thousands of certificates. It will staple OCSP for you automatically. It can obtain certificates "on demand" during handshakes. It is more robust to failures and can keep sites up even when other ACME libs let you down. CertMagic supports all challenge types; I think autocert only does TLS-ALPN challenge, which requires port 443. There's a lot of other improvements and enhancements that autocert is lacking IMO. A scan of the readme should help illustrate: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/caddyserver/certmagic#section-...

But I guess use what works for you!
I don't get it. Has the wages not been stagnating, and has house prices not been creeping up, has US national debt not been going exponential, has energy consumption not been relatively more flat?

For example, the comment mentions that the the "Median Sale prices for new houses sold" is in dollars. Yes, he is correct. But looking up an inflation adjusted median price gives the same result, that house are more expensive than before. So yes, he is right that the graph can be technically misleading, but the point of "WTF Happened in 1971" still stands.

I think there are many midcurve takes, where one would argue how 1971 is wrong, but isn't it the case, in reality - that housing, college, wage, etc. have all been doing worse for a few decades now.
Probably just missing '/s'.
> asking them to only switch on when there's surplus power

s/asking/commanding/
From what I understand most qubits are implemented as trapped ions or quantum dots which are both collections of particles instead of a single particle. For quantum dots you may have thousands or millions of atoms in a single dot, since they are nano crystals. Their behavior is quantum so they can be called “particles,” but not in the same way an electron or quark are fundamental particles.

The simulation is like a reverse of those scaled flood models. Yes it’s a scaled simulation, but the same fluid dynamics come into play. It’s not a math model simulation like you would perform on a classical computer.

It's the only thing I can think of that also charges on a per install basis.
well, whether the postulate is crazy or not is a matter of perspective.

Postulating that nature just does the Born rule is postulating an additional thing that nature does.

Postulating that hey perhaps we ain't that special and perhaps we should just think through the consequences of our own brains being embedded in the very nature we're trying to describe.

On one hand, it feels like we're adding a lot by buying into the Everrettian model, because it does require us to think and throw away some intuition about ourselves. But OTOH, it actually requires adding much much less to what nature actually does.

There is no parallel between scientific knowledge and whatever you're calling "cultural truths". To the extent that there is lasting progress in culture, it is through art, music, and literature, not through "truth". Truth is the realm of science alone. Yadda-yadda genital mutilation: that is not culture, it's ignorant cruelty, and science can indeed show that, by showing that it causes health problems, causes pain even in babies, brings none of the claimed benefits, etc. Most of the old-hat cultural-relativism arguments come down to plain-old scientific ignorance, just as if there were cultures out there that still believed the Earth is flat. Those are not "cultural truths", they are scientific ignorance.

> "trust, but verify"

We're talking about the collective knowledge and understanding of all of humanity. How are you going to verify for yourself the value of the Planck constant and the exact curvature of the Earth and the exact age of the Universe? Are you going to build your own $50-billion particle accelerator to verify the existence and strength of the Higgs field? Through decades of study you may get to the point where you can indeed verify one of the millions of foundational truths that we build further knowledge upon.

"Trust, but verify" doesn't belong here. You should not "trust", nor can you possibly "verify". It's more like "understand". These truths must fit together cohesively, or if they don't, it should be glaring unsolved problem (e.g. gravity vs. quantum mechanics). Test new ideas against the rest of the theory to relentlessly look for contradictions or poor fits. Develop your mental model. You never need to really "trust"; everything has a wrongness error-bar around it. The wrongness error-bar of the shape of the Earth is very small; it includes subtle corrections due to slight variations in the gravitational field and the pull of other bodies, but it does not include a flat Earth.

This is what the stores near me do, yes (they're actually freezers, but certainly not ones that reach dry ice temperatures). I don't know if they have a separate storage location they use overnight while the store is closed, but I suspect not.

I have no inside knowledge and am not a game developer. So I'm just guessing here. But yes, I believe tracking installs, which have published app store numbers and are instrumentable by them, is much easier than tracking revenue.

Note that nobody here really cares about total precision. Especially not their major customers who have negotiating power and who end up paying $0.01 per install. They're going to miss x% of the installs and have y% of spurious extras, and whether or not this approach advantages one side or the other is going to depend on a lot of factors down in the noise. If there's a large enough error it's going to end up as one more factor in the conversation with the account rep I'm sure they'll be having anyway.

> they still need to engage in the exact same accounting and fights

No, I think these are very different fights. A rev share means that every month everybody has to have the fight about what the actual revenue numbers are. I expect the way this work is that Unity will be tracking every game and looking at their app store metrics. If in their opinion they think you're making enough money to be worth squeezing, they're going to have an account rep call you. And if you don't engage, eventually they bring in the lawyers. So it's a one-time pain versus a monthly pain. Then the fight's just about install numbers, which are published and which I'd guess they have the ability to check on via instrumentation.
I believe GP is talking about paper ballots. So the answer to your question is no, it is neither easier nor harder to understand than a locked container of ballots being counted publicly.
This page is supposed to be a conversation starter, I think. You present the page to someone, then get them interested in the mystery so you can tell them what happened.

I think it’s a lot like Excel and databases; in a way excel is often used as a sort of a “no-code” database.

There will always be use cases for the real thing, and there will always be people who reach for the easy option, and a lot of them really only need the easy option.

But there will also always be organizations who reach for the easy option, wildly outgrow it, and pay the price…
The main thing is that this is entirely because they choose CPI instead of PCE to measure inflation. Also it compares a median (wages) to a mean (productivity).

In this case, the coherent source is the celestial object being observed. The problem here is that the "combining" step is being performed in software, and the sequence of digital samples have time- and phase-offsets that are ever-changing.

The two options are to keep those offsets under control (i.e., lock everything to a common clock) or to rapidly measure the offsets as they change and try to compensate in software (difficult).
Yeah, 95% confidence ratio (or approximately two standard deviations) is pretty standard with regards to statistical tests.

You gotta draw the line somewhere. At high-school statistics level, its basically universally drawn at the 95% confidence level. If you wanna draw new lines elsewhere, you gotta make new rules yourself and recalculate all the rules of thumb.
Out of curiosity, what's the point of a driver in something like this besides to have a human in the vehicle adding weight? Are they doing much?

> I think MFA is important for something like code repositories.

I think it's not, because they can't be secured by it. As a code user I can't be sure repo was not tampered with, just because some service promises to use 2FA to authorize developer access to the repo.

I'm pretty sure a Tesla spends most of its 2.5 seconds traction limited. Ie. if you could fit gearwheels and drive on a toothed road, I think a stock tesla could accelerate faster.

We love XMPP and IRC, but both IRC and XMPP require servers, and most people don't have a server or even a friend who has a server, so they depend on Google, Facebook, etc.

There may be work in the XMPP space on a pure p2p XMPP, but based on my conversations with folks in the (awesome) XMPP scene last year at FOSDEM, it was pretty experimental and there were major problems they hadn't tackled yet, like identity.

Quiet is an effort to make a chat app that works well out of the box without depending on a server (or a company.) This feels new, different, and helpful to the world right now! And achieving this goal feels worth loading a few MB of dependencies or even (gasp! wince!) Electron :)
Yeah. I would also agree that there are multiple explanations floating out there, and it's not entierly clear what exactly is happening in the economy that have lead it to where it is today.

Could be a combination of all of them, could be that a few root causes. Not entierly clear imo.
Compared to unity, yes (especially for 2D stuff which is more the norm on those platforms).

Unity is already imho pretty bloated but at least useable and a sensible choice for both, Unreal is just too massive and more suited for console 3D type of games.
Our large org has been familiar with the 1 DB approach for over a decade. At some point the need for microservices became clear, and years after that, they actually switched. Even our subteam is feeling the need to divide up our service because its scope has kept expanding.

Startups shouldn't start with microservices. I've worked for (or led) a few different ones, and I've always created a monolith while avoiding other kinds of premature scaling (sometimes even "folder, bro" is overkill). Doesn't mean I'd run things that way with 200 people owning systems with evolving requirements for 10+ years, or even three separate dev teams of 5 people.

> We can see this shift everywhere. The characters of the biggest shows of the '90s — "Friends," "Seinfeld," "Cheers" — spent the overwhelming majority of their time hanging out at the café, diner, and bar, and work was either an afterthought or a running joke.

These were television shows, not reality. Even in the 80s and 90s you couldn't spend all of your time in a Manhattan coffee shop or a bar (unless you were a drunk). I think our concept of what a "friend" is was heavily shaped by 20th century sitcoms and not realistic, setting up a couple of generations to be very lonely and very disappointed that life doesn't turn out like TV.

Meta Quest 2: Defense through offense
This page is a good education in how to misinform with data. Slap an arrow across as many different graphs, establish something resembling a pattern, and like a good magic trick, have the viewer do the research and (seemingly) come up with the "correct" explanation.

In this case you are supposed to find out that that 1971 was the end of the Bretton Woods system (and probably, more importantly to the Bitcoin promoters who run this website, the final end of the Gold Standard in the US).

However, now that you know the purpose of the magic trick, it's easier to peak in and see the misdirection. There are basically two things going on:

- The end of the Gold peg changed a lot about how things were valued, nearly overnight. So a lot of graphs relating to real values based in currencies had enormous changes, even if the fundamentals underlying them did not substantially change. This even impacts inequality metrics - since the money supply was no longer artificially limited, you see high-earners holding on and collecting more of it - rather than, say, fine art or T-Bills. And graphs that mark depreciation against gold are obviously going to be slanted.

- The gold peg failed in the first place because of rapidly changing demographic and consumer trends. You can see this where the arrow was lazily plopped in the middle of sweeping curves or trends. Like the rising cost of chicken starting in 1934. Or the numbers of divorces. Or the rise of dual income families. For most the graphs on this page, 1971 is not a significant date at all.
If the government makes a rule that nobody is allowed to use "inefficient" light bulbs anymore, and then gives the power to a bureaucrat to determine what is "inefficient," that's a great example of the administrative state having the actual power.

You're right that it is common around the world. And it's a huge problem. Because nobody can know what's illegal in the US, for example. If nobody can know, then how can we claim we live under the rule of law?
The person you're responding to is trying to establish a distinction between fares and taxes. They're saying that the public infrastructure drives economic growth, and posits that the growth in tax base from these projects should be enough to cover fares.

Whereas you see all government revenue as going into a single fungible bucket, and some people with your view may believe that recovering $700M of additional fare revenue is both practicable and necessary.

It's really more of a question of "who pays", in my opinion. I personally think any revenue system with low overhead is a good one.
