Is that a rhetorical question? Because it's a national security matter. And certain news sources were sadly correct, as evidence by the NIH emails obtained by US Right to Know via FOIA requests:

The bump is huge though! If your per-install fee costs $0.20 but you have 199,999 installs, you owe Unity $0. But the second a new user downloads your game, you suddenly owe Unity $40,000.

If they made the price increase continuous and charged for max(0, #installs - 200,000), then that would be something else, but the way they wrote it implies a bomb waiting to explode if your game gets too successful
It's legal defense in depth, similar to not talking to police without an attorney present. All it takes is an overzealous prosecutor or social worker to ruin someone's life by misrepresenting some random circumstantial facts. This happens all the time in drug cases, for example, where the possession of innocuous items like small baggies allows prosecutors to take charges from regular possession to intent to distribute or trafficking.

Even if someone isn't doing anything illegal, since >90% of cases end in plea deals it's good legal hygiene.

I'm not really sure how to take this. We absolutely have recordings of instruments. You can buy them as complete sets. You train on complete recordings, and then tell it how to use the sampled instruments to compose a song in the style of the trained data. Building something to make a waveform that looks like another waveform just seems like a very odd direction to take.

Yes, my standards are if it isn't at least as good as what's available now, what's the point.
Most of the alternatives that aren’t marketed to the consumer immediately have something. I ran openwrt for years and used its firewall to block a bunch of traffic and now I’ve switched to Ubiquiti because of wifi issues.
If your program creates the script and executes it, is verification necessary? This would be like verifying your 1st party scripts in a webpage that you wrote. It won't really hurt anything, but I'm not sure there's a point.

I believe you're slightly mis-remembering; the quote that I'm aware of is "Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years."

It's a statement about strategy, not about suggesting regulation.
I don't know man, I just tested vscode and it's almost instant, loads every function from multiple files in less than 5 seconds. I'm on a 13-inch intel Mac and Julia 1.11 master (1.9 and 1.10 should be the same).

Having a REPL open is not the same thing as a notebook, if you feel like that, cool I guess.

That thread is old and Julia can cache compiled code now from 1.9 and onward. However, it can not distribute the cached code(yet).

Writing the fastest possible real-time application in c/c++ has the same principles as in Julia. It's not as shoe-horned as you might believe.

When developing Julia, the developers chose some design decisions that affected the workflow of using the language. If it doesn't fit your needs that's cool, don't use it. If you are frustrated and like to try the language come to discourse, people are friendly.

Let's make it a bit more interesting and say the Twitter account is a paid subscription for $1MM/mo. I was following his Twitter account and knew that he seemed to have a good instinct for when things were going down, but it can't be proven that I knew that the account was disclosing non-public government information.

Should I be expected to know that was information improperly obtained, particularly because of the massive premium cost of the subscription implies that it's possible that something improper is going on?
Yes, multiple workspaces is not effectively entirely broken for the reasons you mentioned.

I was on about 10 workspaces before, many were just fun groups I was a part of. But the UI was so bad for multiple workspaces that I had to leave almost all of the fun groups.

I still have 2-3 slack channels that I must be on though, and knowing what notifications are in which group is impossible at a glance. I am thinking about running 1 on desktop and any others in separate browser windows as a hack, but I'm not sure if this is better or worse.

I'm hoping they have some way of allowing you to see multiple workspaces again!
Given my observation of the space and EV industry in the last 5 years, this seems downright reasonable.

Your bias is showing. Only Russians and apologists for Putin consider Crimea to be "Russia".
You can try something like Obsidian out. It just saves your entries into Markdown files, so you'll always have a text version of them, and it will automatically link together any tags you include within the document, so you can tag the concepts or subjects in your journals and then you can access them again via those links.

It's kind of like a wiki, except markdown based, and in a cross-platform application.

It's free as long as you don't want to use their cloud services, also.
I think we'll just have to agree to disagree. There are a lot more hoops you have to jump through if you're keeping your engine actually open source.

It's very vaguely reminiscent of the wonderfully swoopy eMate 3000 from 1997.
I can identify a bunch of things. The chord structure jumps all over randomly in a genre that usually does the opposite. The banjo is clearly not an actual banjo being strummed/frailed, but a weird agglomeration of bright toned instruments including both frailed/scruggs banjo and dobro, and maybe harmonica and fiddle creeping in. The AI doesn't know it's making a combination of instruments, so where it's trained on instruments blending, it thinks it can produce pre-blended sounds. I guess maybe this is more like a return to being a child hearing music for the first time with no preconceptions or expectations.
> 'Prevaricating', 'known bad actor', all of this is your gloss on something that happened 3 years ago

My "gloss" of something they themselves acknowledged—how are you not getting this?

It's like if someone gets charged with something, briefly attempts to maintain some dubious and not-terribly-convincing story that they didn't do the thing, but then does eventually cop to doing the thing, gets a light sentence for having acknowledged that they did the thing (maybe even cheered on for their humility in doing so), and then three years later upon having some new sketch called out, defenders leap up saying, "oh, well that's just your take; prove they'd ever done that". They already acknowledged it themselves; that's not a "move" that's available to you anymore, bud. These are total motte-and-bailey shenanigans.

> and a response to the wrong title. . They didn't write the title

I flag comments that complain about titles. Between the two of us, you are the only one to have mentioned the title of the submission—which isn't even the title anymore. (Repeatedly. Why?)

You can continue to try to get me to direct my attention to the title, and I will continue to ignore it and limit my comments to what's actually at issue. Go ahead and keep strawmanning the shit out of me, though. Maybe it'll stick.
On YC Advice of Launching Fast [video]
Quoting this video however this discussion is more about Sam Altman's recent claims about YC advice that some of the things might not be really accurate advice.

I think on the surface conventional YC advice of launching fast really makes sense. Find a pain point, launch fast, iterate, charge etc.

However most of the PMF successes quoted are based on the successes of 2005-2015 which I think really is the golden time of software. All the pain points apparent in the markets were prevalent and you could create companies to solve these pain points.

However, it is not the case anymore. Competition is higher than ever. B2B SaaS has almost equal high standards with B2C due to the competition again.

There are usually 2 things that happen in my experience with myself and founder friends.
1) You try to find a pain point in a narrow market. You try to go really deep but most of the time you cannot find a common pain point or anything that really is "painful" for the customer. This is because either they are already resolved by some software (like Segment) or are impossible to solve (iOS 14 for user acquisition) or you don't really know how to go deeper.

2) You find the pain point but there is already a huge amount of competition. You have to go deep and be a bit different than the rest of the competitors but it gets tricky because being different usually means a different feature rather than a different company building/defining attribute.

Hence we see startups more and more launching products after years of building instead of launching fast. The second trend I see is that I see less and less startups trying to do something new. Rather I see them trying to build a better thing in an area where PMF is for sure (which might be smart)
I mean, it's a checkbox setting in like two apps (Spotify and Prime Video).
Yes. In my opinion this is uncomfortably close to us playing Team America: World Police. We are injecting ourselves into a situation where there outcome is unpredictable and there is no clear game plan or win conditions defined such that we can exit the conflict without the entire area collapsing. Reading between the lines, and sometimes said out loud by the ruling class, it's clear that they want regime change in Russia and they're hoping that this forces the issue.

Now I'm not going to shed a tear for Putin if he has to flee Moscow and we find him in a hole in the desert with a long beard, but the US track record for _successful_ regime change isn't exactly stellar. The middle east is still a mess, Korea is still divided, Vietnam was a colossal failure, and there are more examples in Latin/Central America than I care to cite.

IMO "Equipment" is a very tame and benign term for the deadly munitions we're supplying being used directly against an hostile nuclear power. It's not like we're only sending medical supplies and other errands of mercy. It just seem very risky to me to assume that the Putin is forever just going to ignore the fact that his soldiers are getting blow up by American weapons.
I've made a couple toy projects with Phaser, after comparing other Javascript based 2d engines. Phaser is the most fully featured amongst them, and javascript game engines are great for any experienced web developer with minimal game development experience to make browser-based 2d games easily. Phaser specifically has many examples and docs to work from.
Its useful when you have uber structured data. Think when programming a programming language for example, the input is extremely structured but you need to handle so many things in so many structured ways.

for wishy washy data like you have in almost every other case it isn't useful, unless you want to solve those problems by making a programming language. But in most cases you already have languages there, like SQL for relational data etc, so you don't have to solve those problems.

That remains to be seen. There's lots of noise about it right now, but if number goes up it will be hard to argue (even if it's true) that this was a bad decision.
This isn't new. Confucius was well aware of it 2400 years ago, and it's for everyone. If you abuse your powers, you will lose them.
I remember reading one of the earlier editions of "Art of Deception" which has lots of these types of examples. Like simply calling up the local county clerk to figure out when the police officer is on vacation for your traffic ticket, then getting a continuance for that day. The police officer doesn't show up, and you get off the hook.

So many good stories. RIP.
MIDI is an extraordinarily lossy music representation. Even Claude Shannon would facepalm at the assertion that it could, in theory, represent audio faithfully. It is not its purpose, it is decidedly not its practice, and it is a ludicrously irrelevant example of pedantry to say otherwise. The false equivalency asserted by the commons can be aggravating :D
Can’t speak to your experience or schema, but IME MySQL does just fine at high (100+K QPS) mixed workload, with complicated queries. It does require more tuning than Postgres, but OTOH there’s more to monitor to determine exactly what is bottlenecking. That’s certainly not to say Postgres can’t also handle volume, but its MVCC design and O2N tuple ordering doesn’t lend itself as easily to high write workloads.

No returning clause, you’re correct - no way around that if it matters for your use case.

Similarly, yes, functional indices are quite nice if you know how and when to use them.

I’d love to see benchmarks comparing the two RDBMS, properly tuned, with the same workload. I’m OOO this week but I might do that in the future to see for myself.

As to SQLite, I get the appeal, and I get why it maintains backwards-compatibility so fiercely, but good lord some of its quirks are bad. FKs don’t do anything by default, PKs can have NULLs, column types are mere suggestions unless you enable strict mode…

The same company sells both compounds. I don't think this was a huge moneymaker. I think the PE thing was just there to retain the sales that moving Sudafed behind the counter sacrificed. That doesn't make it OK, but it does sort of argue against the idea that the regulation was just a moneymaking scheme.
Issue is that FCC mandates a port out within 4 hours and stores don't make $$ while doing these so their goal is to get you out of the door ASAP so they can focus on the revenue. So that's why + bribe factor

Thanks, it's been incredibly frustrating dealing with this place. Pine Bluff is one of, if not the most crime ridden, corrupt town in the US. Some of the things they do just seem unreal, but there's a sort of learned helplessness going on. I didn't grow up here so the corruption rubs me the wrong way. I've had a lot of problems because I'm annoyed enough by the blatant thievery that I can't keep my mouth shut.

Per install is likely due to the fact that games can be monetized in different ways (subscription, dlc, loot boxes, etc).

They address the install/uninstall bits in the article. It says they're planning on counting one device as an install total. So if you remove/reinstall on the same PC, that only counts as 1.
Security comes with cost and inconvenience. Like would you pay $50 everytime you've to swap a SIM ?
Depends on the asset, most code or UI tools would probably be a no without a good amount of effort to port, 2D and particle assets you can most likely rip the image files and recreate in another engine with some work. 3D assets usually come with an FBX file (If they were made using Probuilder or something inside Unity you can use Unity's FBX exporter to get an FBX file) that you can easily transfer to another engine, there may be some edge cases where you'd have to re-rig the assets depending on the engine you're moving to. For animation assets they'll either be an FBX file that you can transfer over or an Unity Animation Clip that you can also convert to an FBX using the FBX exporter. Shaders are a little bit vendor locked if they were made with Shader Graph, you can get the generated source for the shaders, but it is generated which can make it hard to read (single letter variables/function names). There's a ton of edge cases you could run into depending on the engine you're moving too, like Z being up vs Y being up or engines using a different normal map tangent basis, but there's tools that can fix those issues when you come up against them.
Because real world money speaks louder than words.
The ideas of sets being the universal foundation of math is arbitrary as any other bit of math. Which is to say all of it is arbitrary.

Just as you ask, "where in nature does one observe these weird things?" I would to ask where in nature does one find a one? or a pi? or any other number really. Where do you find a triangle? Or a coordinate? Or any of the mathematical constructs we use day to day.

Sure you can point at something triangle shaped and go "there!" but is it _really_ a triangle? Or just an approximation? Sure you can count one of something, but that's not the same as the number one. Just like you can't have pi of something.

All of math is just a model that is surprisingly applicable to the real world.

All of math is a byproduct of our brains. It doesn't exist, out there, in some Platonic World. Anyone who thinks so, I'm looking at you Max Tegmark, is mistaking the map for the territory.

OK, advertising is communication "promoting a person, product, service, event or a job opening".

Is that kind of communication evil?
That the last gen pro didn’t have USB-C at this point is ridiculous. That’s part of my point.

The other part is that when they went through the design work to put USB-C in (per the legal mandate), they didn’t spend the extra 2c to put a USB3.x or whatever host controller in. Because it would likely have cost them less than 2c to do it.

They didn’t just swap a plug and call it good in a rush, they made multiple new models, that they are selling as improvements and they segmented it so that the $800 model has speeds from prior ancient tech.

That’s being a dick. On top of the ‘being a dick’ of continuing to use their proprietary connector 5+ generations after it stopped being relevant.

>their router can be submitted to the elements, outdoors. good luck doing that with an rj-45 on the device

Um, that's very, very easy to do actually. And indeed the original v1 Starlink cleanly separated the terminal and the router. There was zero need to ever use the included one, you could just treat the terminal as a pure WAN link and that's it. Works extremely well. The v2 was a significant and regrettable downgrade in that respect. There were some reasonable arguments for going away from ethernet since they weren't within the official spec which unfortunately maxes out too low for power [0]. But I wish that at least with the business one they'd simply separated out power and data at least as an option while keeping the terminal self contained.

>Now, CPE wireless stuff (like at&t fixed wireless) has ethernet ports, but you have to have bulk cat6 wire, the rj-45 connectors, and a crimper to "service" it.

Or, you know, just get a preterminated shielded patch cable? Or for stuff SFP use fiber, again preterminated is fine. There is no downside to having this be easy for those who need it and the same for those who don't.

0: Though I'll edit to add that I've had people tell me they've powered them just fine with standard 100W PoE++ injectors. It may be that either SpaceX is being generous with their claimed power needs, or the full power is only ever used for serious snow/ice melting with the heaters and is a worse case scenario that much of the planet will never need to think about. Of course that'd just remove even more justification for going proprietary.

College has significant pros and significant cons and their quality varies as hell.

People who try give advice that fits them all are almost always out of touch with reality.

Is going to good college and taking it seriously a good idea? Probably yea

Is going to shitty college and taking it seriously instead of just graduating and doing your own thing behind the scene a good idea?

Maybe not?

Because time spent on the college's stuff will probably be wasted meanwhile you could put more quality effort into other stuff, alone.

This move by Unity isn't completely unexpected if you've studied their financials. Smaller devs are basically dead weight for Unity, so it seemed like them putting the squeeze on them was just a matter of time. Bottom line: don't count on a public company to do the right thing if you're not helping their bottom line.
