I find it hard to make sense of the idea of for-profit, corporate journalism or why we find the practice acceptable. For example, consider the following seemingly mundane fact: The New York Times does not reports critically on itself. Its investigative journalists don't probe into the newspaper's internal affairs, and you'll never see a headline like "Inside the Machinery of Deception: How the New York Times Manipulates Public Opinion" on its front page. In a way this is completely unremarkable and to be expected. But the more I think about it, the less it makes sense. Aren't we supposed to think of the Times as engaged in the disinterested pursuit of truth? Why should one particular region of reality (one of the most prominent American institutions no less!) be arbitrarily closed off to its own scrutiny? Should that not call into question its claim to disinterestedness?

Consider how the NYT might try to justify not critically reporting on itself. It can't say (1) "any wrongdoing on our part is not newsworthy": on the contrary: it'd be the most newsworthy thing in the world! It can't say (2) "our journalists don't have resources to investigate the topic": on the contrary: that's the one topic its own journalists are most well-positioned to investigate! The only possible remaining defenses I can see are: (3) "we simply don't engage in unethical practices, so there's nothing to report" or (4) "what do you expect, we're not gonna do what's bad for business". Needless to say, either defense would make it very hard to continue taking seriously its claim to disinterestedness.
He actually talks about that during the video as well. Short answer is “it depends”.

IIRC Truffle is dramatically faster in some benchmarks but slower in others. And there are some usability aspects of the language that are negatively impacted.
5sec would be way too low for anything meaningful. One of the more pronounced cases, where the audience reacts, is 'smoke' which makes the players invisible until they are close to opponent player (or tower), used in a way to initiated a gank. The 'smoke' last 45seconds. Killing a big NPC (Roshan) is another example as it takes time (and usually more than a single player) to down it. Other cases: buying a rapier - very high damaging and expensive item but it does drop on death - so it's a warning sound, that may take minutes between a conflict and used.

Sound proofing however still doesn't solve the issue as it doesn't deal with the vibrations in the venue. Pro players have commented that if they start feeling vibrations while 'farming' alone, they become more cautious - asking a support player to cover the gank or move to a safer area.
I don’t think in this case it matters even for spiky workloads. The relative difference is too small.

The difference in CPU base frequency is 3.8 versus 4.0 GHz, which is 5% slower. However, for spiky workloads boost frequency is IMO more relevant than base frequency. With boost, the clock speed difference diminishes to the laughable 2%. Specifically, they are 5.2GHz for the R9, and 5.1GHz for the R7.

AMD doesn’t publish boost clock for GPU, but relative difference in base GPU frequency is 3.6%.

I’m aware marketing generally works, making people willing to pay more just for the feeling they have the best hardware money can buy. But personally, I believe saving these $285 and getting 95-98% of the performance is a good deal.

P.S. Ryzen 5 from the same line up, the 7640HS, is substantially slower. It has fewer CPU cores, and fewer GPU compute units.

Sure, yet you'll probably find no-one who is destroying lives (their own or others) for caffeine. THC is certainly a more mixed bag, but at the very least you will never die from it. So "drugs are bad" is just too much of a blanket term, and we should probably come up with better terminology that correctly reflects addiction potential and intrinsic and extrinsic damage. In addition, the illegal market shifts those dangers quite significantyl. Someone can take morphine for the rest of their lives with out much of any bodily harm, but in an illegal market it can be deadly quickly and procurement leads to much pain and harm. Last but not least, humanity will never not want to use drugs, no matter what we do, so we need to come up with harm reduction that is effective (which includes regulation, education and probably also includes doing away with prohibition).

> By the time new media competitors had sucked up all their readers, it was too late and expectations around price and quality had shifted too much

Isn’t NYT one of the most successful media businesses out there? Don’t get me wrong, the bar is low, but that’s because the entire industry was decimated by the internet. IIRC NYT was one of the first to pursue a paywall subscription model so in that sense you could argue they were far ahead of their competitors.

> plenty of opportunities to partner with tech

What were they? Genuinely curious. I can’t think of too many examples of media partnership with big tech that has ever worked out for the media company involved so I’m curious if the opportunities they turned down were ever worth it.
I’m tempted! How did you store the content, as raw HTML or plain text? I imagine raw HTML would make automated diffs harder.
It seems like you're responding to something that isn't there -- an accusation along the lines of "... and therefore C is a bad language" or "... and therefore sizeof is poorly designed" or "... and it's bad that the correct answer is 'I don't know'".

The author isn't, so far as I can tell, making any such claim.

He's claiming only this: many people who program in C (or C++, which in this particular respect is the same) think they know that sizeof(...) will be 8, or think they know that sizeof(...) will be 5, and all those people are wrong, because it could be either of those things or various other things too, and there are contexts in which you need to be aware that the assumptions you're inclined to make around this sort of code are wrong.

All of which is straightforwardly correct, so far as I can tell.

As the author says, the question is really about struct padding more than it's about sizeof. It most likely doesn't matter that much whether or not someone knows that sizeof(...) might not be 8 in this situation. But it might matter if, e.g., they read the docs for some binary file format and see that it looks like

offset type name
0000 int block_size
0004 char record_type
0008 int user_id
000C int unit_id
0010 double radiation_level
0018 int timestamp

and think "aha, I'll make this neater" and write

struct protocol_block {
int block_size;
char record_type;
int user_id;
int unit_id;
double radiation_level
int timestamp;
};

and

fread(...);
struct protocol_block * block = buffer;
int uid = block->user_id;

without being aware that they are making assumptions about what their compiler does with structs (and also about endianness, and other things).

Maybe they should just rebrand to CF Investment Fund then.

As other commenters point out, you actually fear deportation if you lose your US visa. Getting laid off might cause that to happen.

Talk to a competent immigration attorney so you understand your options. The US offers a lot of visas.

A company circling the drain and going through rounds of layoffs will get to you eventually. If the company doesn't have huge problems that make you think it will lay everyone off and go out of business or get sold for IP, do what you can to keep the job. Make yourself indispensable. Do something no one else wants to do. I kept a job through three rounds of layoffs that took people senior to me by making myself the only person who understood the product database. Another guy at the same company knew the build process better than anyone else and survived as long as I did. We both had some time and runway to find other jobs instead biting our nails waiting for the surprise Friday afternoon meeting with HR.

I can't give specific advice, but you need to figure out how to keep your job, and that may mean stepping out of your comfort zone. One thing for sure: worrying and living in fear of something you may not have a lot of control over won't help, you need to take control of your life.
No, wrong level of abstraction. Why do manual memory management in a realm where it doesn’t really matter? In addition to the excessive amount of work (also why I wouldn’t choose Rust for the job), you’re opening yourself up to a whole class of errors for no good reason.

> Unity is OK if smaller players choose to leave too because they don't contribute to even the long term profits, and apparently this is aimed for short-middle term profits.

It's OK to fire your crappy and unprofitable customers, but keep in mind that smaller players don't just disappear. They will adopt (or build) something else, and that something else (Godot, Unreal) may benefit from Unity's loss over the short and long term.

Just as important though is the trust they're losing with larger successful customers because of how they implemented this change.

I suspect they might have just destroyed their own business. These engines are a learning investment and the more friction you add, the fewer devs that will bother investing their time into it. Time will tell.

I’d add greater oversight, too: you can’t FOIA the internal policies or records of a private company, and if there’s some policy change you have to rebid or do a painful contract amendment.

I think the appeal to privatization is sometimes corruption – when we lived in New Haven, at least two of the city’s tow contracts always went to cousins of council members – but mostly it’s the hope that magic pixie dust will avoid the need for competent oversight. As you noted that only works out when the incentives align, and I don’t see that here.
I guess it's not clear to me how adding per-install fees (as opposed to revenue split) would increase the reach and depth of their ad network? Specifically I'm arguing that the boneheadedness of this decision (and its honestly shit communication) is probably not related to their 'new ad network masters', and is reflective of long-term problems that have been at Unity long before the IronSource merger.

The reality is that Unity was always bleeding cash. Ever since it's IPO, it's been cash flow negative. Like a significant amount. Their last filing before IronSource merger stuff starts showing up is 2022Q4, and it has $323 million revenue, and net loss of $250 million. Their claimed R&D expense was $248 million, cost of revenue was $112 million, and sales and marketing and G&A both about $100 million.

Even after their merger with IronSource (so looking at their 2023Q1 filing), they are $500 million revenue, net loss is $253 million. Basically looks like IronSource's business is roughly break-even.

Framing this as a company chasing "higher profits" is a bit misleading. This is about a company trying to chase "not dying" and floundering. Unity pre-merger and post-merger was not a company that could 'just keep the status quo'.

In fact, if you frame this from a game developer centric standpoint, what you've actually seen happen is a game engine developer try just about everything EXCEPT adding a per-install fee/revenue-split for decade+. Like pre-merger, Unity was already an ad company - it was pulling in half its revenue from its existing ad network. Unity did so many contortions to try to make a minimal strings attached game engine work as a business (and it has not succeeded).

Now for Unity (the ad company) to successfully make profits deploying ads through their game engine, either their ad business needs to become vastly more profitable (which it won't - ads can be profitable, but it's not magic printing machine), or their game engine business needs to not being a gaping bleeding wound. And hey, that's actually the exact priority that Unity the game engine company would have.

I am not excusing their current actions. But it's plain as day that they need to generate more revenue from their game engine business to be a viable business at all.

First, you have to be aware that it is a warzone, making independent information verification allmost impossible. And propaganda is happening on all sides.

Second, the russians had allmost nothing to gain from blowing it up. The regions east of the river were hit way harder and now the crimea water supply is threatened and the conquered nuclear power plant is rendered worthless.

Now the russians surely are not rational all the time, so it still might have been them - but the reason might have been also simply incompetence. If you look at the water levels, they were rising a lot before (and they were not regulating it, like it happened before). And the dam was already damaged from shelling. So it is possible that the increased water pressure caused something to break violently which can sound like an explosion and then the rest just followed.

The main argument against this theory is the timing, as the ukrainian counteroffensive just started before. Now blowing up the dam does not make much sense strategically, rather the opposite as lots of russian trenches and minefields were flooded and negated as well(and not on the western side), but it might have been a panic reaction, with someone messing things up along the chain of command.

In either case it is a stupid tragedy.

The Nytimes and its employees are deeply concerned with the prestige of the paper.

In fact, much of its terrible strategy when it came to digitization, major political moments, and its own journalistic integrity (The Jayson Blair affair comes to mind) stems from this navel gazing.

The New York Times maintains archives going back over a hundred years, there's no risk of loss of information over time, which is why the article leans into the "stealth edits" problem over the loss of information problem. The NYTs doesn't need the IA and has every right to block it.

> archiving them (every version) but not allowing access for say a month

If the purpose is archival, the embargo must be at least one year. A lot of Times content is not breaking news, but investigative journalism, analysis, recipes—stuff which doesn’t lose value quickly.

> newspapers were archived - at least in the U.K., and stored at the British library

New York’s libraries have vast microfiche collections to which nobody objects. Going to the library to read the newspaper simply didn’t compete with the paper the way IA does.
