I frequently use the selection, but I don't like the implementation of it. Rather than the selection being between the starting "anchor" point and your moving cursor's position, the cursor you're moving around just creates an ever-growing selection that can't be subtracted from. So if you're e.g. selecting across multiple lines and you bring the cursor up to the line above, it'll select everything from the starting point to where the cursor is now, but if you bring it back down it doesn't unselect that text. So if you accidentally select something you didn't want to, the selection is essentially ruined and you need to start over. I have no idea why they implemented it like this.
One of the comments mentions this:

"Alright, doing some investigating it seems that they are saving the Pqs preferences based off of the instance ID of the pqs object, which, according to unity's own documentation, changes between runs of the game, hence why its saving 10 trillion different copies of the same data"

So, somebody didn't notice a "changes every game" instance ID was in the path and/or data. They thought they were overwriting a single key.

Say more about it this? It's not obvious to me why it should be true or what evidence there is for it.
> How about Option and Result?

This is somewhat of the case with many different Result/Error crates doing their own thing. So being in standard lib isn't a guarantee it won't fracture.

> What if Arc and Rc weren't in the standard library, and you had to import them via a crate, and multiple different (incompatible) implementations existed such that you couldn't use them at the same time?

First that's not currently what is happening in Rust. Second, I'd probably use the most popular and active one. Same as in JavaScript or Python.

I think my criteria for what is in the standard lib is following: How often does the domain change? And should it come out of the box?

E.g. are we inventing new ways to parse JSON? Yes ? Out of the standard lib you go. Is ARC/RC being reinvented? No? Go to standard lib.

Putting it in your pocket and walking out would be a better idea.
In your wall-staring example, high-level planning is still happening, the plan is just "don't move / monitor senses." Even if control has been removed and you are "locked in," (some subset of) thoughts still must be directed, not to mention attempts to reassert control. My claim is that the subjective experience is tied up in the mechanism that performs this direction.

Introspection is a distinct process where instead of merely doing the planning you try to figure out how the planning was done. If introspection were 100% accurate and real-time, then yes, I claim it would reveal the nature of consciousness, but I don't believe it is either. However, for planning purposes it doesn't need to be: you don't need to know how the plan was formed to follow the plan. You do need to be able to run hypotheticals, but this seems to match up nicely with the ability to deploy alternative subjective experiences using imagination / daydreaming, though again, you don't need to know how those work to use them.

In any case, regardless of whether or not I am correct, this is a non-woo explanation for why someone might reasonably think consciousness is the key for building models that can plan.
Nice looks.

Reminder, you can exclude any site from search results on at least Google and DDG, e.g. '-site:fandom.com' will exclude *.fandom.com from results.

There's also a 'ublacklist' extension which lets you block sites from search results as well. I think this edits the results to erase matched sites, though - you're not communicating to Google, et al. that you don't want to see that site.
Being an artist really offers you no immunity from the law (or just cops, who often have little understanding of the law). Music performers have quite often been arrested by local authorities following performances.

Examples:

Jim Morrison (The Doors) - Miami, 1969: Jim Morrison was arrested for indecent exposure and profanity during a chaotic concert, leading to a highly publicized legal battle.

Sid Vicious (Sex Pistols) - Various, Late 1970s: Sid Vicious faced multiple arrests, including for the alleged murder of his girlfriend Nancy Spungen in 1978, though he died before a trial could take place.

Ozzy Osbourne - San Antonio, 1982: Ozzy Osbourne was arrested for public intoxication and urinating on the Alamo Cenotaph, a historic monument.

Marilyn Manson - Michigan, 2001: Marilyn Manson and his bandmates were arrested on charges of criminal sexual conduct involving a security guard during a concert.

N.W.A. - Detroit, 1989: N.W.A. members were arrested for performing their controversial song "F** tha Police" during a concert, leading to a brief detention.

2 Live Crew - Florida, 1990: 2 Live Crew faced obscenity charges over their explicit lyrics in their album "As Nasty As They Wanna Be," resulting in their arrest and a high-profile legal battle.

Pussy Riot - Moscow, 2012: Members of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot were arrested for staging a protest performance in a Moscow cathedral against the Russian government.

Axl Rose (Guns N’ Roses) - St. Louis, 1991: Axl Rose was arrested after a riot broke out during a Guns N' Roses concert, with Rose allegedly inciting the crowd to violence.

GG Allin - Various, 1980s-1990s: Known for his extreme and often violent stage antics, GG Allin frequently faced arrests for indecent exposure, assault, and other charges during his performances.

I haven't done Windows native development for over 20 years, but at my time during the 90's we already used the registry rather sparingly. And at this time, cross-platform development was not even in our radars.

I wonder how in the Year of Our Lord of 2023 someone feels confortable using the Windows Registry like some kind of blackboard.
There are a ton of requirements placed on what can even qualify as housing.

To stick close to the example, rooming houses (SROs) are effectively illegal in most cities these days. You simply can't have a commercial venture that rents out cheap barebones bedrooms with shared bathrooms. That's due to regulations that were designed to get rid of rooming houses. Bedrooms are also required by law to have a window and closet with doors in many places.

I'll admit that living in a place that looks like a college dorm isn't the best thing, but we are at the point where there is no middle ground between an apartment and a tent on the street.
> You can’t built a “$2k rental”. You can only build a rental that someone will pay for. Landlords are building luxury housing because it’s the only thing that’s profitable right now due to the immensely ridiculous laws that don’t help people.

The real underlying problem is that you have X million people who want to live in the quaint version of San Francisco. It's literally impossible; the quaint version dies at some point as more and more people are piled in, even if the resulting city is world-class and quite desirable.

Just like the entirety of Los Angeles couldn't move to Santa Barbara without Santa Barbara being changed forever.

The closest reasonable equivalent we can do is maintain the quaint "old town" and build a "real city" around it where people actually live and work, and the old town remains as a tourist destination, basically.

This is the case in much of Europe. The Paris you visit and the Paris people live in are often mixed, but they're noticeably different.

Rapid mass transit to city centers can hide the distinction.
I saw that and a car driving around with that on it in San Francisco and had the same thought. Who funds that and who is their real target audience? With the tech crowd you might need a bit more nuance.
Having written some of these statements I want to point out this is done because of the impact requirements of funding programmes.

It's mixed. The reason for higher demand would be lower cost. I.e. perhaps lower median wages for the vast majority of folks where we have a bimodal peak at tech companies who have a small percentage of overall workers.

Lol, no, not even close. First, what do you mean by 'an international arbitration court'? Such courts exist only because of (and in the scope of) treaties where countries explicitly agree to be bound by such courts, for example, by signing a treaty with a clause stating 'disputes for this treaty shall be resolved in this court', like WTO treaties or ECHR treaties. The only thing binding a sovereign is the treaties they "opt in". But Croatia has no treaties with Liberland, and Croatia has no obligations whatsoever to Liberland - the default state is that sovereign may do as it pleases, including 'abuse', war, slaughter, pillaging, etc - except when they, for example, sign a treaty confirming that there will be a border and they agree not to violate your side of border. If it's really 'terra nullius', then everybody, including Croatia, could do as they please, including burning the place to the ground and killing all the inhabitants, and the only treaty that comes to mind that would prevent that is Croatia's obligations with respect to the European Convention of Human Rights (but again, only because Croatia chose to take on these obligations) that would be violated by slaughter.

This is why a key precondition of being a state is recognition and border agreements with your neighbours - without that, the hypothetical state literally has no rights, not even the right to exist.
Look at the reviews for KSP2. This is not even one of the larger problems with the game. They released into EA with terrible, nearly unplayable performance... on an RTX 4090! a $1600-2000 GPU that at the time was difficult to obtain even if you had the cash.

It is counterfactual in the literal sense. It is entirely possible that there are no real prices below $2k in urban centers because of demand and constrained supply. It is entirely possible that getting below this would result in a return to conditions where people were regularly dying in fires and building collapse.

Thank you for this comment, I had a hard time pinpointing exactly what made me feel uneasy about all those answers justifying the audience behavior or explaining that they were setup for violence because various harmful objects were present.

It is indeed the same way of thinking.

If you murder someone, I don't see how you could blame them for being too close to a knife or gun. Having the opportunity to do something does not systematically justify doing it.

edit: this logic does not apply even if the person brought the harmful object with them, the decision to do the harm is ultimately not made by the victim.
Zoning and building codes drive up the cost of new construction. The inventory of buildable properties in cities is artificially scarce due to zoning restrictions, and that scarcity drives up the base cost per square foot. Even with land in hand, you can’t build just anything without meeting an insane number of code requirements, all of which add real costs that drive up the minimum rent amount necessary to provide a positive ROI.

Multistory buildings with running water, electricity, heat, and other “basic” requirements are expensive to engineer and build. No one wants to build something and then lose money, but that’s where we are at with new construction.

Make no mistake, it is entirely the government’s fault. It is illegal everywhere to build something that costs less.
In my experience, government is indeed much slower in approving outlays. There may of course be exceptions to that pattern. One of my interview questions for prospective bosses of mine, is something along the lines of:

- Suppose I am on your team , and I want to develop a prototype/PoC, which costs $1,000, and you're okay with it

- What is the process to get approval for it?

- How much time elapses between starting the approval process and receiving funding/greenlight to start spending?

In my current job, the answers were "if I'm okay with the idea, you can start immediately".

In a previous one I left, it required CEO approval (hence why I ask now).
This happens when there are thousands other simple things and a lot of complicated things. When your devs are stretched, you sort by priority and I can tell you this is not that important.

It's a piece though. It hasn't been performed multiple times because of the safety issue, but at its core the idea is that you could repeat it for arbitrary audiences.

The absolute floor is pretty low, and the market will provide these solutions if they're not regulated out of existence.

My first "apartment" was a 100 square foot bedroom rented in a 4 bed / 2 bath unit with 3 other residents. At the time I moved in, it was only $350/month plus utilities, in a market where the median rent for a studio was $1750/month. That room would have been affordable for a single person working full-time at minimum wage. Was it code compliant? Hell no! Was it better than living on the street or in a car? Unquestionably.

If you raise the floor to require every adult to have their own kitchen and bathroom, then you've consigned this segment of the market to homelessness. Someone who can pay $350/month certainly would need a massive subsidy to afford a $1750 studio, or you can just get out of the way and allow them to rent a room for $350.
If 1password keeps applying their current development standards, I'm pretty sure Bitwarden will overtake them soon simply by virtue of not getting worse.
Not the US, but here real estate developers are complaining that modern stringent building code requirements (i.e. gas free, highly insulated) combined with high labor costs make it so that it is infeasible to build lower income housing.

I think the bigger problem is that land value is insanely high in The Netherlands right now, but there's probably a truth in the middle as well. Land costs might be lower in the US, but maybe not closer to metropolitan centers?

The one comment I'd make is that it's not just the order the books were written in, but also the order they're read in. I just happened to read Gibson's Count Zero (when it came out) before Neuromancer and found that I preferred it... because as you say themes repeat. I enjoyed both, though MLOverdrive not so much.

Have you read the Expanse series? That seemed to have noticeably distinct themes through the second and third books, but I think based on style the authors split exposition and conclusion up.
