https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Chunk_format

The main unit of minecraft storage is the chunk, which is a 16x16xWorld height area of the map. Chunks are bundled into groups of 32x32 chunks for storage on disk. Minecraft keeps a map of chunks for an area of (configured render distance + 3) chunks in memory, and pages these in and out as you move around (including generating new chunks if you reach a chunk that's never been generated before).

Chunks themselves are subdivided into 16x16x16 sections of blocks by vertical height.

So the process is:

1. Find chunk containing co-ordinate (maths + dict lookup)
2. Find array containing data based on y co-ordinate (basically an array lookup)
3. Find block in array (another array lookup)

There's also various data of more variable size (e.g. lists of entities, structures, etc.) tacked onto the chunk format. These tend to be much smaller in number for any given chunk, so my understanding is these are basically just linearly searched or iterated on a per chunk basis when required.
The CEO's role though is to help make the stock attractive to other investors, not just optimize for their own personal finances. I personally would expect most CEOs to hold a significant portion of their stock awards as a show of confidence in the future value of the company - if the CEO won't hold the investment, why should anyone else?
Reading this, and hindsight being what it is, it seems like the contracts didn't have penalty clauses for non-compliance. It's horrible to say this when you're theoretically dealing with adults, but it is as if everything needs a big stick or stungun attached to it, and a lot of NO, BAD MONKEY penalties for every "crack" they fell through. That would be hard to build a contract around.
J.B.S. Haldane joked that if some god or divine being had actually created all living organisms on Earth, then that creator must have an "inordinate fondness for beetles." They're incredibly diverse, this article has a nice table that sums things up:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_biodiversity

There's ~64.000 mammal species total, insects clock in at ~1,000,000. Of insects Coleoptera, the beetles, are estimated at 360-400k species. There's about 2,000,000 species in Animalia total and a bit less than a quarter are beetles.

If you use iNaturalist it's more helpful on that count than Seek since some beetles are more identifiable than others, and there are entomologists who might be able to help confirm some ids, I've had luck with a number of ground beetles and some other species.

Er, isn't it? I'm pretty sure all versions of Minecraft are proprietary software that cost money.
Hilton sub brands like Homewood Suites and Home2Suites not the main Hilton brand.

In the case of Hyatt - Hyatt Place and Hyatt House.

Because I need a comfortable working space and for my wife and I not to be on top of each other, we do hotels that are targeted for extended stays. I’ve used the IHG site (Holiday Inn) once or twice. It’s not any worse than the other two.

The “cheap” airlines aren’t cheap once you add on fees. Our third choice for flights is JetBlue.

We just go to Google Flights to compare prices and then book directly
This is a straw man argument. The problem is not closed source but lack of regulation and power asymmetry between the large company and a small customer. These types of bait and switch one-sided contract changes should be illegal. In fact, the way how Unity approached this is likely illegal, since they have retroactively changed the contract while attempting to hide this fact from the customers.

We need to strive towards establishment of fair, enforceable legal frameworks that prevent this kind of abuse from large players, instead of magically hoping that open source will fix everything.
Thanks! Let me know if there are any implementation details you're curious about.
But what if I want the average over time? The query depends on every value, should everything be computed on the server?
Same. I had a terrible experience with Google CS and the original Pixel, which I ended up throwing in the garbage after less than a year because it was defective and they wouldn't do anything about it. Will never make that mistake again.
This looks like nightmare fuel.
Why is that incredible? I left a top level comment on why I hate unions [1], they create the worst set of incentives possible - they are exclusionary, anti-meritocratic, bureaucratic, anti-innovation... if I was to make a purely morality-based choice, without considering selfish consequences, I'd sooner join something less evil like a drug cartel.

On the other hand, if you don't evaporate water off the coil then it stays wet all the time and grows mold quickly. This is very bad for indoor air quality.

For this reason I intentionally run the fan after a dehumidification cycle. Yes a small amount of humidity goes back in the air, but it's a small price to pay for non-toxic air!

You should probably have your AC unit professionally cleaned and inspected.
> 90ies

I've only seen 90s (nineties), never 90ies (ninety-ies). I am imagining the second one pronounced differently.
This is interesting. Are there any resources you would recommend which go into more details about these roles and the transition you describe?
Taking a stab at a reasonable definition for me, if you receive resources X or less as financial or in-kind assistance, and you go from X to 100X through regular market transactions, you can say you're a self-made 100Xaire. 10X seems too liberal (after all, someone could have just invested the X at birth in an index fund and waited 40 years and be at 10X), while 1000x seems too restrictive (if you start out with $10k and end up with $5M, I think it's still fair to say you're a self made millionaire). It's probably not a truly linear relationship, though (it's easier to go from $10M to $100M than $10k to $100k).

This is probably a broader definition than the original comment's. I suspect there the core issue is questioning whether it makes sense to even differentiate a billionaire who's self-made vs one who's not. I find that a useful distinction to make in many contexts, though.
I'm an old fart, seeing the curl in every example is like nails on chalkboard.

This one is easy. Testing with little data on fast network (likely localhost).
Stop with this nonsense already; some people believe the earth is flat but that doesn't make it correct. This exact mindset contributed to unnecessary deaths. There are many other strong and big breeds and yet pit bulls and their derivatives are responsible for overwhelming majority of serious incidents.

Maybe you are right. But to me, JavaEE somehow associates with managing applications through the Application Server’s admin panel, registering EJBs with deployment descriptors, etc.
It makes sense to me because the article says that they used fingers and clay to make the drawings. The Chauvet cave is regarded as fairly unique in that outlines were scratched out and the cave wall itself was cleared out before starting the artwork.
This era has been underway for at least 20 years. AI potentially exacerbates the problem by dramatically reducing the cost of bullshit production, but it also holds the potential to act as a positive agent that reviews and validates available information.

There are probably many significant milestones on the road to 'truth decay', but satirist Stephen Colbert crystalized it in 2005 with the concept of 'Truthiness' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthiness
I can tell you from personal experience they will not repair Apple Watches - they recycle them and charge a pretty hefty replacement fee if you do not have AppleCare+. I had a Stainless Steel Apple Watch Series 6 just outside the 1 year warranty. The display came dis-attached from the frame, either because the adhesive failed, or the battery had swollen. Like, literally I was just driving down the road and the display started hanging off the watch from its flex. The Apple Store wanted $400 to replace it - would not even evaluate a repair.
I've only ever needed support with google fi (their cell phone service), and their chat was responsive and helpful. Maybe their other support teams are not as good, idk.
Yes, you are right. If you have to put a bool on the stack, it will have to keep the instructions.
Why does it have to do simply everything? What's that saying? Jack of all trades, master of none? The "meager" support that lightning supports means it's better suited for things that go in pockets where lint lives, than usb-c ever could be.

That it's not an open standard is a problem, but let's be honest that it does have advantages over usb-c.
How does this compare to the Apple Watch?

Majority shareholders for choosing an ownership model that their operating model couldn't service.

Unity going public was like .org's PIR being sold to PE.
Take a look at Garmin watches. They're a bit of a different beast than the others, more a stand alone device that can talk to your phone than the others, but they're still quite nice. And the 20 day battery life is nothing to sneeze at either
> Honestly, if they just added revenue share like Unreal does and tweaked their subscriptions a little, the backlash wouldn't have been nearly as bad.

They ran the numbers. If it was going to work they would have gone that route, but I think the problem is that the clear majority of Unity-users (indie devs) make no money anyway.

Revenue sharing with someone making $0 in revenue is pointless.
There are a lot of critics on the lack of USB 3.0 speeds in the base model, but this hasn't been a problem for me. iCloud backups happen over WiFi for the general consumer and even when I do iPhone backups over USB it takes less than an hour the first time, and less than ten minutes for the incremental updates.

If anything, the fact that Android adds a soft-lock to the DisplayPort output on their USB-C port should be under scrutiny. There is absolutely no reason this should be blocked on flagship models like the Google Pixel, in fact brands like Samsung enable it on their phones (DEX). All iPhone 15 models support 4K60 from their USB-C port.
Since most readers will be archaeological lay-people, would it have been so difficult for the article to have at least outlined some of these (supposed) drawings?

Perhaps because it is generally well accepted that you can maintain stable profit margins with a fixed employee count, but increasing profits with a fixed employee count is not possible beyond the maximum potential of that fixed set of employees?

> “We find that three years of security and OS updates still provides users with a great experience for their device.”

Terrible non-answer. It's a great experience for the first three years and then the experience becomes much less great, which was the whole point of the question.
Wireless charging is the way to go. When the charging port on my iPhone 12 started to go I switched to wireless. The constant plugging and unplugging, etc. put too much strain on that jack.
Your cat doesn't know which species are of least concern, and you certainly aren't seeing every bird or small mammal or reptile your cat kills for fun.

I recently took a course on ornithology and was stunned by how difficult a bird's life is from the migrations, predations, building collisions, and the sheer amount of work they invest in nesting and raising their young. It's easy to take them for granted until you actually understand what they go through just to exist, unlike a pampered cat who gets to kill for sport.

Cat owners who allow their cats outdoors are being cruel to birds and small animals, period. A bell on your cat's collar doesn't make much difference. There's no way to wiggle out of this moral dilemma. If you love nature and want it balanced and protected, then keep your cat indoors. Or, if you can, train your cat to kill only invasive species.

You, as an employee, will be the one doing the firing of the abusive employer by refusing to be on call 24/7 for free.

If you're actually valuable and it's actually required they will work out a deal with you to compensate you for it.

They'll usually just deal without it, maybe with some abusive passive aggressive grumbling.

If they're unreasonable, they will do you a favor and end the business relationship.

If you constantly refuse to set boundaries with your employer because "if I do they'll fire me", you will reduce your effective hourly rate immensely. Don't do that. It makes them respect and value you way less, too, because you aren't valuing your own time - why should they if you don't?
It's particularly interesting because I feel like Google's biggest competition is Samsung, who now say they support phones for 4 major version updates after release. So if you had a Galaxy S20 instead you'd still be in support with, I think, one more update in the pipe.

Lots to dislike about Samsung's efforts to wring a little extra money out of their phones, but it's amusing that their platform support is better than the people who make the platform.
Not really.

In any connector of this sort, there are two pieces: the plug on the cable and the receptacle on the phone. Lightning has a very visually appealing and physically durable plug, and that’s the part that you see. But this hides several aspects of the connector that make a poor functionality tradeoff.

On a USB micro B or USB-C cable, the plug is retained in the socket by little spring-loaded clips on the plug. On micro, they’re on the outside and very obvious, and they stop working well if the plug gets a bit bent. On USB-C, they’re in the concealed portion of the plug. In both cases, they are components that can wear out, and, when they do, you replace the cable and you’re in good shape. These spring-loaded clips mate with fixed notches in the receptacle, and those notches are much longer lasting.

Lightning does this the other way around. The plug has notches, and the springs are concealed in the socket. If the springs wear out, replacing the cable doesn’t help.

Similarly, the electrical contacts are springy in the socket. They are very easy to damage with careless cleaning, and they have a tendency to accumulate lint, so they are likely to need cleaning.

Lightning has an additional defect involving arcing. If you look at a charging cable that’s been use for a while, you’ll see that one electrical pad on each side of the plug will be burnt. Presumably this is where the connection arcs every time it’s unplugged. I’m not sure how USB mitigates this, but it seems to be less of a problem. Maybe the contacts are simply thicker and more durable.

Sure, USB-C receptacles have a thin tongue, and it’s a weak point, but it’s much stronger than the 10 fragile moving parts inside a lightning receptacle.
How much bandwidth does the average API documentation page use?
Im not a fan of the premise that a small percentage of a population being responsible for an outsized percentage of violence is a result of their breeding. It's the environment and socialization factors that drive this.
Would be nice to have the actual owning organisations in there. i bet these are largely subsidiaries of the same mother company.
Frostbite is a weird example because they focused heavily on graphics over gameplay. It is also an FPS engine that was forced into powering an RPG, and without any real input from the developers in question.

I'm sure most larger gamedev companies can make a decent game engine on their own if extreme performance is not needed. The recent Baldur's Gate is a good example.
Paying and quality assessment don't need to be coupled. The government doesn't need to be paying for the healthcare in order to make recommendations aimed at improving health outcomes. It would probably be happy to swell its ranks by starting up a dental review board.

Though I'm not optimistic about either its ability to fund healthcare or assess its quality.
Enders Capitalism?
There's another strong argument in favor of this point. This [1] is from Unreal's license:

---

"7. The Agreement Between You and Epic
a. Amendments
If we make changes to this Agreement, you are not required to accept the amended Agreement, and this Agreement will continue to govern your use of any Licensed Technology you already have access to.

However, if we make changes to this Agreement, you will not be allowed to access certain Epic services or download the Licensed Technology unless you have accepted the amended Agreement. If we make changes, we will provide you with notice, such as by sending an email or giving you notice when you next log into an Epic service."

---

So in other words, if they do a bait and switch, you're free to keep using the old license for older versions of the engine. The reason I think this is telling is because they did this in the day and age where basically every EULA comes down to "We can do anything at any time, for any reason, and you can do nothing." For them to actually have this in their terms is a tremendous display of good faith.

IMO this is the best simple option right now.

For sorted data you only need the relevant row groups which can be tunable to sensible sizes for your data and access pattern.
Yes, GP is absolutely correct, all the people in the developing world who can't afford food are much healthier than those of us in the West, that live long enough and eat enough to deal with diseases of obesity that primarily affect one after 60 years of age. /s
I agree completely, but open source alternatives like Godot make it easier for people to pack up their things and leave, and you'll never need to deal with this issue if your business uses open source software. Open source can be a part of how we hold abusive corporations to account, and it's a way for developers to take action without hiring a lawyer.
I live on 20+ acres right now. I have an outdoor cat as a mouser. She'll disappear for days at a time and show up for a nap on the couch or to play with the kids and then be gone.

I'd love to see what she gets up to when she's away since there really isn't any houses nearby (maybe 1/4 mile away at the closest). Unfortunately we don't have cell service outside of the booster range in the house so this wouldn't do much for me

The only thing unreasonable is the relative outflow disparity between between the labor force, & management+shareholders.

We're living in a time where C-Suites are openly mocking the people keeping things going & doing the ugly work, while leaning on technologists (us) to make everyone else, and even ourselves obsolete.

I personally welcome a labor force uprising. It's about time Capital was brought back down to Earth.

edit: the article actually mentions iMessage explicitly:

> And the newspaper reported the Commission was still deliberating over the inclusion of Bing and iMessage.

> In the event, the EU looks to be taking a cautious approach to this early pushback — since, as noted above, both Bing and iMessage are not on the initial list of 22 core platform services. Instead, the Commission has agreed to take a closer look at Apple and Microsoft’s arguments that these services should be excluded.

TL;DR you ground symbols by connecting them to non-linguistic features in your network. In specific, to the sensorium; but also: to utility.

Things have names, but things are what we perceive about them and largely about what we can and do, do with them.

This is what any agent embodied in an environment must do and do do.

Many of the criticisms about LLM will evaporate for multi-modal models, as they become multimodal, and gain (or infer from) agency.

Agreed. It'd be nice to have a tiered, single-point consent system, where user-preference was cascaded down to preclude auto-opt-in.

E.g. "Do you want to be tracked?"

If you answer no, then no feature which tracks you can be default opt-in, even if subsequently shipped.
