I just finished Doom Guy a few days ago and really enjoyed it. The start of the book is definitely not what I (or probably anybody else) expected but it was a hell of a story. I also appreciated his honest conclusion near the end where he comes to the conclusion for his post-Id failures.

I did think he should have gone into more of a deep dive into why Daikatana was a bad game. Yeah, turnover. Yeah, delays from chasing the new shiny engine. But for a company he started where "Design Is Law", why did his game suck when Deus Ex being developed at the same time at the same company turn out so great? And how was id able to pump out Quake II and Quake III in the time he was buggering on Daikatana?

Somewhere in the book (start or end, can't remember) there is a quote from Carmack that references Romero's amazing recall ability, so I'll give hime the benefit of the doubt here.
I get a weird feeling playing this game, imagining that I'm a CEO that doesn't actually know the details of what developers, Marketing, and Design actually do, but I'm optimizing it based on external feedback only. This gives a plausible account of how many bad decisions can be made in good faith without better two-way internal communication.

First... where are you getting this from? I just spent half an hour writing a an incredibly simple benchmark and all I see is SQLite being something like 20x slower than a registry query, seemingly caused by repeated locking & I/O system calls. This is on a trivial database with just 1 table with just 1 row, vs. a registry that's on a machine that's been running for years. If you have a benchmark that can disable the locking and get comparable performance, I'd love to see it. Not that it would mean anything though, given the next point.

Second, even if it were somehow faster... you'd be comparing apples to oranges. The registry has a bunch of things SQLite isn't designed for: security integration with the rest of the OS, a hierarchical structure, OS hooks for monitoring & interception, multithreaded access, etc. Have you tried doing these with SQLite before praising how fast it is?

> That said, on Windows you kinda have to use registry, especially on the kernel driver level.

Is it common for drivers to use SQLite to store configuration information in any OS? I dare say I've never seen this.

Additionally- the F-35B has a smaller combat payload than the F-35A, due to the combination of internal space/weight for SVTOL capabilities and lower payloads and the lower payload available for short takeoff.

Vertical takeoff is mostly an airshow demonstration- you can't carry a useful amount if fuel or weapons vertically, so in practice it's an STOVL rather than VTOL.
Paper is real, so it is uninhibited by the limitations imposed by the imagination of the programer.

For note taking, with a pen I cam easily transcribe math formulas. I cant do that with a txt editor.

Ok, so I switch to org-mode and become a tex mode guru. There's still no easy way to make a geometric drawing.

I've recently taken a greater interest in my fibre intake. It is quite shocking to see how little fibre is in most foods on the shelves, even in things that you thought surely had a at least some fibre.

The best thing I've found so far in terms of somewhat "shelf stable" sources of fibre is dried figs (and dates to a lesser degree) and certain brands of high fibre digestive cookies.

Low fibre content in a frozen TV dinner seems obvious, but it seems less obvious when you say "practically anything other than a handful of items outside of the fresh fruits/vegetable section".
I have the original Mini, 20 minute flight time is common, I go over 30 when there is little to no wind.

Today, I had to create a couple of handwritten reference index cards. Went to the trouble of finding a ruler (remember those things?) to cleanly underline my headings. It was a wonderful feeling.
This is great news for a few reasons:

1) Clear molecular signals of pathology mean that minimizers' claims that longcovid is just psychosomatic or malingering are unsupported.

2) Seeing high antibody titers against COVID & EBV adds weight to the viral persistence and reactivation hypothesis: longcovid may be due, in part, to ongoing low-level infection elsewhere in the body along with reactivation of other viruses like EBV or HPV.

3) Autoantibodies were found again, but not significantly different than those seen in non-longcovid control groups, which is interesting because it had been suggested that longcovid may induce immune quality control dysfunction and increase overall autoimmune reactivity.

Hopefully these results can help guide better study design and management for longcovid trials.
The majority of consumer devices in a home are tablets, phones, TV sticks, etc that will never have an Ethernet connection, so there’s not really a strong demand for wired connections. It’s not worth wiring a new construction as it’s just not a selling point.

Most houses do have coax, which works great with MoCa if you want something wired.
The Museum of Flight has an M-21 - in the Blackbird family but a few feet shorter than the SR-71. It's a truly wonderful plane and I love that you can walk underneath it and get right up close. As I recall they also have one of the engines pulled out to look at as well.
There are a fair amount of formal reasoning systems out there for various structured reasoning tasks. LLMs may not be able to reason, but they can specify things to be reasoned about in Gallina or OWL DT or whatever and defer. I think folks seem to think AGI will be a single model, while if you look at our primary example of human intelligence it’s many models interconnected. There’s no reason for, say, LLMs to have the ability to play chess or solve differential equations or recall facts or reason formally. These already have excellent solutions that you might as well use. It’s interesting to see how far they can go in these areas, but I’m not holding my breath for an LLM to be able to out math mathematica.

I've got the original Mini too, and I had never encountered this before until very recently when I tried to fly it in the US.

What happens if you turn off your cellular data (or are simply out of reception) ? Does it let you fly it anywhere then?

In Australia and the Canadian Arctic I basically never had reception, and it never cared once.
In the context of LiveView Native / Desktop the renderer is in the client. So this part is ok.

The tricky part is that Elixir is compiled, and liveview templates are not "files" but functions.

From here you have two choices:

- You create a set of primitives (blocks), and the layout/arrangement of these primitives is configurable via a config map.

- Or you do a hot-code reload: Call an api, check if new code is available, fetch it, compile it (Code.compile_string), load it (:code.load_binary ), swap it for long running processes ( GenServer.code_change callback by example ), and remove old code ( :code.purge )

The first solution is safer. The second solution is a kind of black magic and you would need a way to authenticate de source code before compiling.
Adrenal exhaustion, too.

I've been struggling with fatigue since earlier this year after I got (what I presume to be) another bout of Rona. It is debilitating fatigue, where I can get 14 hours of sleep and I'm still exhausted, focus and brain power are elusive faint memories. It sucks.

I've found two things that beat back the fatigue into something manageable; nicotine gum (2mg, once a day), and as many carbohydrates from fresh ripe fruit as I can stuff into my face. I'm concerned that a good supply of fruit will be lacking as winter sets in. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do about that.

Does the ASF let him? Do they even have the power or jurisdiction to be making these types of decisions for open office?
One could argue that Microsoft's "no game sharing" decision at the beginning of Xbox One, right off the heals of a generation that experienced both high success, but also extremely high costs (RROD recalls, estimates say it cost them over $1.1B), was a bigger one. It seems unnaturally likely to me that single decision by Mattrick's Xbox leadership is the largest component to Xbox One's relatively lower success (58M sales, versus 102M PS4 and 84M XB360), and has cascaded to, possibly permanently, suppress Xbox's potential (Series is at 21M to PS5's 41M).

I tend to think that decision was worse, because it was Just Bad. There was no reason they had to do it. It had very little prior art (digital games, naturally, always did this, so non-zero). It was a pure, absolute failure to read the room, and the XB1 era had so many decisions like this that it seriously paints the picture that Xbox is alive today literally only because of Spencer and despite Microsoft's leadership at the time (pre-release, Xbox One also required Kinect to be plugged in. This was walked back, but it still shipped in the box, lowering margins and depressing sales volume for no reason.)

In comparison: Unity has been in trouble for a long time. They've never posted a profit, at least since going public, and have instead accumulated an aggregate of over $2B in losses. Their main competitor (Epic) is a technological savant of a company, which has a literal money-printing machine in their closet to finance engine development. They never really broke into AAA game production, partly because Unreal is just better at hyper-scale development, and partly because AAA game shops are surprisingly welcoming to in-house engine development.

In that framing, this outcome seems inevitable. There's a reason they made this decision; a very real, dollars and cents, reason, and backing away from it (especially after the outcry, but even without it) isn't going to save them. The best, but unlikely, outcome for Unity and their customers is deep layoffs, focusing hard on ease of use instead of technological prowess, spending years rebuilding the trust they lost, and depressing their stock price enough that they can find a path to going private without losing control. The much more realistic outcome is: deep layoffs, coasting the product, monetizing every addon they can outside of the toxic "core pricing structure", and private equity acquisition.

> I've never heard "web 1.0 guy" as a pejorative

Web 2.0 replaced Web 1.0, right? Is that because Web 1.0 was better or just as good? Or was that because Web 2.0 was an improvement? And we're a good decade or so beyond Web 2.0 now. Surely you're familiar with the term dinosaur in this context. Web 1.0 are the dinosaurs.

If you still think web 1.0 doesn't have any negative connotations there is nothing I can say to change your mind. But I strongly disagree.
Powerline causes a lot of radio interference and is generally discouraged as much as possible. It should only be used as a last resort if nothing else works, including WiFi.

I use headphones to listen to music or audio books while hiking, walking or exercising. I enjoy it, and also a useful tool to stop mental self-talk while being able to enjoy the surrounds.

But playing music over speakers that would interrupt the tranquillity of other people trying to enjoy the quiet and space is very not cool.
I've worked in game development for a long time, including a couple of games with over 100 million installs. Professional game studios making mobile free2play games, which is Unity's main moat, are VERY uneasy right now. For many games, the install tax would push them into unprofitability. Especially in hypercasual, where an average user may have LTV of a few cents total. These are billion dollar companies, and they have the resources to build their own engines, they just didn't have a real reason until now.

> It's not that they can't attempt to do it, it's that they can't do it efficiently. The US has some of the highest healthcare costs in the world.

You’re right, the fact that America’s government-run single-payer healthcare system is so expensive is proof that the US government can’t do things efficiently. If only we let efficient private companies handle health insurance instead.

No serious person things Miami-SF is a viable high speed rail route. But the thing is, cities in the US are not evenly distributed—they are regionally clustered. Thus there are substantial regional HSR networks that do pencil out, even if the fantasy coast-to-coast ones do not.[0] The math behind this is pretty straightforward and has a lot to do with network effects which many here should be familiar with.[1][2]

The reason would be, that you can see that the sky is rotating around a certain point in the north, or south depending where you are. All the stars are changing - but this point is not. So even when there is no bright star at that spot - there will be star constellations around pointing towards it. A fixed point or area of reference ( and with no artificial lights, there definitely would be some star to see).

But of course if you really know the dark sky well, there are a lot more points of references, you will remember what constellations will be where at what time of the night at what season. Or where the moon is, etc.

> This is typical of Intel’s weak leadership and focus on short term profits instead of long term success.

They're probably just doing what their shareholders want. Unfortunately, shareholders are shortsighted and risk-averse, contrary to the common rhetoric of being risk takers to justify eliteness.

Surely leadership could be embroiled in lawsuits were they to actually care more about the company than their weak, whimsical, and often incompetent shareholders. Kind of a sad irony actually.
> there's no way to be sure that every second of GPS-tagged video shot by a DJI drone isn't going into a giant server farm owned by the Chinese intelligence service.

I checked your source and it didn’t back up this claim.

I’m not a networking specialist but isn’t it possible to detect if something is transmitting a massive amount of data (such as video) to an undetermined destination?

seems like this type of blatant data export would be easy to detect and subsequently ban the device doing it.

I’m just a simple software developer, so the network stuff can go over my head sometimes (heh), but the claim that such a large amount of data is being transmitted in a way that couldn’t be confirmed enough to ban the product seems dubious.
I go into more detail downthread, but my take is just like the Prison experiment, the takeaway isn't "humans are terrible", rather "humans will do what is expected of them".

Even if the audience didn't know about her and her whole schtick being risky performance art, the table, the items, and the directions set up an expectation of "risky shit is gonna go down". The real question is how far the audience is willing to go in terms of inflicting risk.

I think "self-optimize" is the wrong term to focus on. Imo, it's more about self-compassion / a more personal version of "psychological safety."

Anecdotally, a few years ago I made a decision to run with my (ADHD driven) impulses when deciding what to spend my time on. It was difficult to let go, but I decided to let myself just fall behind with projects / work for a year or two (or until I was fired.) Long term, the benefits have far outweighed any downsides. I actually accomplish things without burning out now, and the drastic reduction in burnout has meant that I get much more done in general (work, side projects, life, etc.) Ultimately, worrying about success, failure, self-control, etc, seem to be fairly self-defeating.
