Back when I was in college, people would go dumpster diving for the really old analog oscilloscopes with the green tubes. They would hook them up to their stereos in spectrum analyzer mode.

We would use the ones like this to actually do work in lab.
Agreed. This community has a tacit assumption that everything must make money or some other kind of return, otherwise it's useless, and that's not true. I love hanging out here, but I've posted projects for fun where people couldn't believe I didn't want to make money on them.

Money is great, but it's not everything. Good luck, OP!
> When Steam machines fizzled out Valve just quietly brushed it off and continued investing in the general concept.

I remember being really disappointed when they did - I assumed gaming on Linux would be following the same path, because what the fuck kind of company breaks down a wall by repeatedly bashing their forehead into it?

Steam machines did not do well, and instead of Valve saying "Maybe this is a money pit we should abandon", they just shoveled money into it until it was mostly full.
I’m curious, what would you recommend they should have said instead?
CloudNativePG – Postgres Operator for Kubernetes
And yet none of it would be possible without all the emulation of all the other parts of the OS. You need more than emulating DX10/11/12 to get games to run. Valve is standing on the shoulders of giants here. The original comment didn't even mention Wine, which I think is criminally unfair. I do think Valve has made insanely valuable contributions, I just don't want anybody to forget that they're not the sole reason why any of this is possible. Wine and all its contributors deserve to be mentioned.

Edit: Actually, I don't think DJI and Haier were Amazon brands either. DJI was bootstrapped by a college kid's family after transitioning from selling electronic parts. Haier was in SE Asia before the US.

Anker was though. Along with Aukey, RavPower, Mpow... some of those were eventually kicked off though, I think.
Honest question.. Why?

I’m always thinking that a db that can also run business logic would be the ultimate backend solution for crud apps.

I know there are several options to do it, but I always assumed Postgres did not support it.

What do people have against it?
I don't doubt there are some people complaining about the smallest of things, but "I don't want my quiet suburban street swamped with traffic" is not "NIMBY", and can certainly be very reasonable. Actually, they closed off one end of a street where I lived many years ago for pretty much this reason: people kept using it as a "shortcut". If you drive it's not very obvious, but with GPS it is.

Regardless, "we don't do it because it's hard" is just a different way of phrasing "we can't be arsed and don't care".
"Oh look, I need to upgrade mockito and Spring. Oh, now I upgraded Spring I need to update the spring JPA plugin. Oh now I upgraded that I need to upgrade Hibernate. Oh now I need to upgrade the library built on it that that team over there maintains. Oh, they're not interested." etc. etc.

I feel Unity violated trust of community. No going back. Today it’s a claw back. Tomorrow (future) it’s back to f’ing over the community once the heat wears off. Or a new CEO is appointed.
One thing that's worth noting, China doesn't have to worry about the minefield of patents owned by Qualcomm, Intel, and various other companies in terms of modem technology. Apple needs to be very careful that.
Act works pretty well to debug actions locally. It isn't perfect, but I find it handles about 90% of the write-test-repeat loop and therefore saves my teammates from dozens of tiny test PRs.

You misunderstand, I think.

ACCOUNTABILITY would not be practical.

Them charging for whatever they can make up and claim to be true, is neither walked back or not walked back. It's waiting to happen again, in whatever way they dream up. You're assuming they wouldn't simply make stuff up and that there would be a chain of accountability, so the process would make sense.

Such things are for making money, not sense. You have not seen the last of them.

What I've found when you become a nuisance but read that as successful, you'll find all sorts of problems suddenly plague you in your off line world.

> Can't imagine poor people living in older buildings will ever get that

Less of a problem than you think. Car ownership is much higher in middle and upper classes, than working class. It's also less common in the densest populated areas, because residential off street parking is barely a thing in the UK.

I imagine there'll be a mixture of solutions: possibly-robotic services to shunt parked cars around (for the few charging spots), car clubs, battery swaps, fast/high wattage charging, converting substantially more street parking to low wattage charges...
This doesn't teach you how to play piano, this teaches you how to read vertically scrolling notes. It doesn't actually teach you where the notes are on the piano, when key changes are made, or when to play a note strong or soft.

This is gamifying an actual skill without teaching the actual skill. Good for a few parlor tricks but actually learning piano, requires, well, actually learning how to read the sheet music.
Jan '22 TOS does not have such a clause either (from archive.org):

https://web.archive.org/web/20220716041837/https://unity.com...

At this point I'm pretty sure this is a dishonest attempt to dig up a 2020 change (if this clause even ever existed, which I've seen zero proof of) and correlate it to a 2023 announcement as if these things were done in tandem.

Downvote me all you want. I don't think Godot et al will survive with these scummy tactics.
On any tech forum, there's always a lot of "why are you writing your own Hello World program instead of contributing to an existing one?" energy.

As you note, the learning process itself is worth it. I'd encourage you to keep a blog / journal for others to follow.

Most innovation doesn't involve the most qualified expert in the field taking on a project that is a sure bet. In fact, qualified experts are often too cautious to try something crazy or shake up the status quo. Back in 1991, Linus wasn't the right guy to write an operating system either, and most experts probably felt we didn't need another OS to begin with. He probably should've contributed to GNU Hurd or Minix instead.
This has to be (roughly) true because the energy to power the size of brain found in hominids post 2Mya can only come from cooked food (or living in the very small number of places where there's enough fruit available year round to provide equivalent diet).
I haven't read about hecto (yet), but I can thoroughly recommend the one about kilo, which is linked in the first paragraph of that article http://antirez.com/news/108 . Or even just reading the C code. It's achieving a lot with few lines and no dependencies (outside of the OS, that is)
We’re super close to it given how many states have abandoned and spat on the contributing class in favour of egalitarianism.

The reason we have custom roms on android phones, is because of Linux's copyleft license: Phone vendors are required to publish their kernel modifications shipped with their devices.

Erosion of the concept of ownership. I can lose access to the content I have paid full price for through no fault of my own. Just because they've decided to no longer support the platform I've never stopped using. Also not being able to resell the product I supposedly "own".

To be fair, none of these things were pioneered by Valve, but more of a general change in what society accepts as the new normal.

Even though I can remove SteamStub DRM with an automatic tool to solve these issues, It still irks me how there isn't a regulatory solution to these problems

Yeah that is amazing and it is just like the engines we had on those post-WWII bulldozers and maintainers. Fire up the gasoline engine and get it screaming at high rpm and then use that high rpm to transfer power to the flywheel of the diesel engine which will crank and run once the compression is high enough to ignite the diesel.

Here is a video of a guy cranking a Caterpillar D2 like we had to crank our D4 back in the day. [0]

When I started working with that small family-owned company I had no real experience with mechanical things other than my own pickup truck. When I finally moved on from them a couple years later I could maintain, tear down, and rebuild gasoline and diesel engines, compressors, hydraulics, air brakes, etc. We did all of that ourselves in addition to the real jobs of pipeline maintenance and repair and oil spill cleanup. I don't remember all the times I spent laying on the dirt floor of the "shop" there in central Texas and cursing all the oily sand and crap that fell in our eyes and faces as we tried to fix things after the day's work was done. Luckily beer-thirty was a cherished event that came with hang-down (summer sausage), cheddar cheese chunks, fresh onion slices, cold milk and saltine crackers. We finished most days in the domino shack trying to avenge the previous days' losses. Good times indeed.

Heads has to roll in the c-level space for them to Ever get the trust back. This walk-back is reasonable but they will still lose a majority of their customers. I am glad that people late in their projects can still ship and see a profit and hopefully move on to another engine.
In my experience the biggest issue for being IPv6 only in AWS is that github still can't IPv6! Tons of software expects to be able to reach out to github for something.

One can use some public NAT64 services, but that's not very reliable for anything serious. https://nat64.xyz/ . AWS chargers arm and leg for NAT gateways traffic, and I don't think it's possible to configure them so that they only intercept traffic to ipv4-only hosts (please let me know if i'm wrong).

Other than this being IPv6-only in AWS works flawlessly and is cheaper (free egress gateways for private networks). As long as you don't care about IPv4 of course - that's given.
I'm sorry to repeatedly post this comment but almost no-one understands the law in question.

The law only banned the sale of pure-ICE vehicles. Hybrids were never to be banned, and you don't have to plug in a hybrid.

Company signals egregious changes in pricing/product strategy. Community backlash happens. Company claws back to a slightly more "reasonable" point that still has a level of negative consumer impact that is higher than the historic model.

Leveraging LLMs in Business: Risk Assessment and Data Security
Yes.

Most petrol stations have chargers. Every motorway service station has chargers. Lots of supermarkets have EV chargers. Some councils have lamp post charging. About 70% of UK homes have off street parking. Smart meters allow for time of day pricing for EVs. Lots of solar on domestic properties which can be diverted. Grid is increasingly able to support feed in. V2G being actively explored. Most commercial EV chargers report their status in real time. There's a proposed government standard for locating those chargers and seeing their status.

You can look at https://www.zap-map.com/live/ to see what's going on.

(Source - was an EV owner, worked on the standard, keep an eye on developments.)
I think their product is technically special -- as with all of the commercial game engines -- but they were not in the market position they thought they were, which is what led to them to thinking this was a good idea.

Very much an unforced error on their part.
SambaNova’s New Chip Means GPTs for Everyone

Trust On First Use is exactly what I do.

If I have to connect to a new machine, I identify it by its hostname, and send it my credentials (whatever credentials the owner just sent me in plaintext).

If I get the warning and I'm pretty sure I connected to this machine before, I ask whoever owns the machine "hey did you do something weird with this machine? Like reimage it or rotate SSL certs or change the DNS entry so it's actually a different machine?"

99% of the time I'm not connecting to a machine for the first time, so (if I may be allowed some bad maths) this reduces my attack surface by a factor of 100.

(If the owner didn't send me plaintext credentials but instead added my SSH key, I don't expose anything by using that, but I immediately follow up by doing other sensitive things like scp'ing code or credentials there).

Recently patched Apple, Chrome zero-days exploited in spyware attacks
How do you un-block this?
I'll make a top-level comment because an awful lot of commenters don't understand the law in question:

The law only banned the sale of pure-ICE vehicles. It's not an "only EVs" law. Hybrids were never to be banned.

Edit: The law as it stands does not ban hybrid sales after 2030. The new law bans nothing after 2030, and will apparently ban hybrids after 2035. If this modification passes, which I understand it currently has not, I would hope that 12 years is plenty of time to prepare.

Their CEO gives me the impression of a rich but unsophisticated mba type who can only deliver revenue growth by raising prices. I doubt he even thought about captive customers and lack of what he might have thought alternative engines, let along open source and free.

He’s the type that thinks open source is maybe a toy.

I knew he was a stink when i read that he ordered unity employees back to offices. He thought he can order customers a new fee. He confirmed my suspicion. A shame that we as a society and industry allow these zeroes to end up leading tech companies.

Yes!

> Seems the same model it was when they moved to subscriptions

Indeed, but there was a period of brain-dead decision making in 2015 where they announced a very different direction and back-tracked 2 weeks later.

They announced plans for an evergreen subscription model, but the flip side was that they'd brick your IDE (with no fallback) the moment your subscription lapsed[1]. The only reason the subscription model seems unchanged from their initial one was because of the outrage their controversial change generated.

I found this unconscionable - they backtracked (faster than Unity to their credit, but still)

In my experience SQL databases are pretty poor at executing the kinds of deeply nested joins needed to return all of the data needed to render more complex UIs. It almost always ends up being faster to simply make nested selects in batches. So latency ends up mattering in these cases.
