I played this kind of games a lot since I was 7 years old because we used to travel a lot. One time I made a win sharing deal with my brother to reduce risk of an unlucky streak, but I immediately hit the jackpot after that. Good times.
Why is NAT a problem here? IPv6 supports full NAT (no matter that the basic idea of ipv6 is "no nat").
I'm not from Mississippi, but from blue-collar Kansas. I think there can be something to celebrating a tradition of "white-trashiness" (ha ha) that is devoid of any racist over(under?)tones (Kansas though was of course a "free-state", so that legacy would not be a contributing factor to any perceived racism).

Now that my sister and I are older, have left our roots, become (I hope) cosmopolitan, we can laugh about growing up on "shit-on-shingles" and meat-loaf sandwiches (and butter/sugar sandwiches, mayonnaise sandwiches, Jiffy corn muffins...).

There is a part of me that could celebrate that. (Although when I stop and reflect, when the wife and I raised our own kids we kind of dispensed with our own "traditions" in favor of newly created ones — except for shit-on-shingles maybe once a year.)
> In my opinion tech internet loves to dunk on Jira as it's seen as the manifestation of all the problems of Scrum and Agile

Not from my perspective, I will happily 'dunk' on it because the UI/UX is so ridiculously slow and non responsive sometimes. It's a nightmare when we need to close a particularly large sprint out. Everything doesn't need to be 'drag & drop' . Trying to navigate the right fields to update is a numbers game, even if its a simple waterfall flow.

They tried to do everything and that's great. But the UI suffers for it, its slow, incredible memory heavy to run on-premise, crashes in the browser frequently. It's not the best tool for the job.
I work in telcos, and literally all of them are pay-to-win. When I see those badges on a website I consider them "badges of demerit".

Maybe his perspective on AI is colored by the fact that he's not going to get to see it fully developed so he has nothing to gain.
The same goes, if I remember my HR buddy correctly, for quite a few of those "best company to work at" awards.

So if it isn't a reputable source, why trust any of this crap? It like all these logos that companies (or industry groups) invent and use as a trust icon on packaging. Just mostly crap. My So did an evaluation of those for food not long ago in Germany. Damn that was a real eye opener.
No, it was actually in a (obscure scientific) garbage collected language. The syntax was roughly:
`allOrbitFiles = allOrbitFiles + currentOrbitFiles`.

I believe what was roughly happening under the hood was:
1. Allocate an array `tmp` of size `length of allOrbitFiles` + `length of currentOrbitFiles`.
2. Copy data from `allOrbitFiles` over to `tmp`.
3. Copy data from `currentOrbitFiles` to `tmp`
4. Reassign `allOrbitFiles` to the new array `tmp`.
5. Garbage collect the old `allOrbitFiles`.

So the doubling of memory usage comes after Step 1. I would imagine (but don't know for sure) that this would actually occur in any garbage collected language I'm familiar with as well (Java, Python, Javascript).

The context of my remark was in response to how "money being printed left and right..." --> "...end up in the hands of regular people doing renovation or home builds?"

Just because "lots of people not being able to go to their job and get paid" doesn't mean all or even most were in the same situation; the numbers[1] tell a different story, and that doesn't even begin to account for the aggregate impact of nationwide loan pauses, or the irrational exuberance in equity/crypto markets at the time.

I believe there were 2 settled lawsuits with Google that they have multiple locations tracking settings for different products, and turning one off did not turn the others off. So I think you can turn all tracking off, but it was not clear to consumers that you've actually done the thing you wanted. There was a CA lawsuit and an everyone-else lawsuit [2]. I don't know if Google's settings have changed since these lawsuits, but I think as part of the settlement they would have to do something about it.

With the example of smartphones not having headphone jacks -
speaking from personal experience, life is harder without a smartphone. I was smartphone free for a year and ended up having to get one to use an app for a specific government service. And providing a smartphone for myself... I lack the technical knowhow to design one, and I don't think I have enough cash or connections to get one custom built.

Ironically enough, I'd be okay with government regulations mandating a headphone jack in phones.

>if it comes to an actual confrontation they're just peasants with crossbows vs the US military

History is littered with armies losing to peasants. The US military lost to a bunch of poor people in the jungle then lost to a bunch of poor people in the desert.

US citizens, even just Texas, would most likely prevail easily over the US military especially as the soldiers would be wary of attacking their neighbors.

> NIST's prior assertions and their interpretation are not relevant [...]

That seems to be an extraordinarily strong claim to make, without detailed explanation, which apparently wasn't provided.
> Is there a good reason why they don't seem widely adopted?

TBH their docs aren't that great. There should probably be a 'curl | sh' solution to install it at the top of the readme followed by a '<run this command and you're in an ubuntu shell in kata!>' command right after.

Another issue is the lack of nested virtualization in EC2 instances that aren't the very expensive i3 metals. That turns this from a "it's a drop in replacement" to "I'm spending thousands of dollars on this".
Awesome. Please make your games supportable in Linux(or Proton) as well if your game ships natively.
If a widespread power outage lasts more than a week, you would have bigger issues to deal with and (hopefully) community resources to draw upon. Otherwise, there is a good chance that things would be brought back up piecemeal, and you would be able to get cash or pay via credit/debit at least somewhere.
"What you do not see are the hours and hours of flying along tree lines hoping to spot something. For every soldier you see being chased by a drone, you don't see the dozens overlooked by that same drone."

Agreed, and I also agree with your other comments. But those limits (luckily for troops on the ground) are because to make detection better and more sensitive is expensive and this has to be traded off against the loss of drones and the risk of downed or crashed ones being reverse-engineered to determine their capability. Also, providing countermeasures such as thermiting the electronics when in trouble or downed not only adds precious weight but also increases costs significantly. Moreover, not only is detection sensitivity a tradeoff but the tech one gets often depends on what's actually available at that instant. Next month, week or even next encounter the tech might have improved.

As I said in my post to the comment, I'm not up to full speed on the tech being used in drones in Ukraine but over 20 years ago I was working on tech that could easily identity many targets at once. What's happened since is that this tech has become much, much more miniaturized and a great deal more sensitive not to mention much cheaper.

Right, seriouly advanced detection tech is already here as its development was already underway before the conflict for both industrial and military purposes. It's now just a matter of packaging it to be suitable for drones, and you can bet London to a brick that there are dozens working to better integrate the different technologies.

Combine it with new miniature camera tech, new LIDAR and back-end (AI) processing and it's phenomenal what can be achieved nowadays. I'd venture that if this conflict continues to drag on then you'll likely see a huge and very worrying change in drone capability.

"Camouflage is never panacea, but useful camouflage exists, even today. I've (almost) stepped on comrades in an exercise that were hidden well enough to not see them from 3m in broad daylight."

Agreed. Whilst it was long ago, I've not forgotten going A-over-T after tripping over another's legs during war games and ruled as 'dead' by the umpire thus no longer a participant because camouflage worked. That said, back then one of camouflage's giveaways was the face. We were trained to look for eyes which was effective (if close enough) because unless facial camouflage is applied properly the eyes stood out, and as most soldiers applied it to themselves and the fact that they weren't much good at incorporating the eyes in ways that created a 'delusional' image, it was a known weakness. Moreover, the facial camouflage took a lot of removing so there was resistance to applying enough of it.

Again, I'm not up to date on how facial camouflage has improved or is applied today but I'd be almost certain it wouldn't stand scrutiny from the best electronic systems. It'd be a real worry if one side had sophisticated tech in their helmets and the other didn't.
I really like Godot so far but the debugging tools are massively inferior to any other IDE and language I've ever used. I waste so much time trying to track down bugs. Proper variable inspection would be a life saver, for instance.

> Here's my radical take: humans hallucinate as much or more than the top LLMs.

I can't believe that. LLMs always talk in the same confident tone, entirely regardless of what they're saying is true or not. What is true in the real world literally doesn't come into the equation.

Whereas at least some of the time, humans will say that they're not sure and might be wrong, or otherwise sound less confident. And that's related to how true the thing they're saying is.
I'm talking about the folks using "I don't need privacy, because I have nothing to hide (this means I'm better than you)" to avoid facing their personal problems.

France Fines Uber €850k
Can you trust anything that appears in an ad?
My point is that you don't spend as much time up front if you have fully internalized the way the language wants you to think. It took me a while to reach some kind of plateau in Haskell, and now I can simply compose working code at the REPL and build programs iteratively like how I can in Python and Lisp where, previously, I had to think hard about monads and types to get anything done.

It's hard to see the riddle some people would find in Python because we're all experienced programmers and imperative languages like Python were what we all started out on. For us, the riddle coming into them was learning how to program at all, so we didn't see the concepts we hadn't mastered as arbitrary stumbling blocks getting in the way of this new language being normal.

Amazon binds its sellers over to something called Most Favored Nation status. That means that sellers can't offer their goods more cheaply than they do on Amazon – even if it costs them (lots) less to sell in Target or direct from their websites. This means that every time a seller adds a dollar to their Amazon sale price, they have to add a dollar to the price of their goods everywhere else, too: https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/25/greedflation/
> Those accepting citizenship probably understand the situation better than we do, and aren't doing it to self-genocide.

When Russia denies basic services to those who don't have Russian passports, it's either take it or become a second class citizen, like Russia did in Ukraine: https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-withholds-meds-ukrain...

It's a horrible position to be forced to take a passport you don't want in order to survive - in your own home. It's an atrocious crime against humanity, and a blatant attempt to dilute those who aren't Russians into forced Russian citizens.

But if you want an even more evil attempt to destroy Ukraine national identity in occupied territory is what Russia is doing by forcing schools to teach a distorted event about the Russian invasion and indoctrinate children: https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2023/09/ukraine-russi...

Or this is also propaganda?
Indeed, this is my preferred solution too. Unfortunately this doesn’t protect one from snooping by network intermediaries, although that’s much less of an issue in the EU due to privacy regulations. At least in principle, but it’s hard to be sure.

Thanks for the advice I never considered trying to learn scientific notation. I think the way the problem manifests in combination with the metric system is that the metric system seems to have an extra 1,000 that may or may not apply.

I think my particular problem is when dealing with electricity and physics.

I never once blamed the metric system and identified the problem as my in ability to comprehend values in scientific notation. I appreciate I shouldn't be so dumb and try to read about things I don't understand. It's a life long struggle.
It was specifically designed for peons (from the creator's perspective) so the condescension is baked in:

> The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they're not researchers. They're typically fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They're not capable of understanding a brilliant language, but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt.
I don't understand why CSS developers go through all the difficult work (taking a design system, turn into a solid selection of components, implement it using SASS mixins with rules that can abstract browser quirks, variable definitions to make it easy for theme-ing) but then insist on putting all of that available through classes that require me to change all of my HTML and ignore separation of presentation and content. Just give me the SASS mixins!

Whether or not it counts as PTSD, I remember it being a stressful time, causing worry that has persisted through to the present. There were the films, of course; When the Wind Blows and The Day After are films I watched (the former was also available as a graphic novel IIRC). I'm not sure about Threads, but I definitely saw The War Game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_Game). The scene with firemen trying to put out a firestorm and being suffocated has stuck in my head.
The Protect and Survive booklet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protect_and_Survive) was around to instruct families in how to construct temporary makeshift shelters against nuclear blast. I recall such planning, including watching a film explaining how long the various Protect and Survive shelters might last at different distances from a blast ("The occupants of this shelter will be fine, for 6 seconds until the blast wave hits..." etc. etc).
Military training at school (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_Cadet_Force) also involved, from time to time, lectures from liaison officers who would remind us of the odds against us in terms of land forces, and how long we might hold out before things went nuclear (should the Warsaw Pact have attacked NATO).

It does feel like some updating would be helpful. The existing language, for example recognizes that markets are sometimes restricted by geography, that you don't need market domination nationwide to be a monopoly. But it doesn't recognize modern day non-geo boundaries. Like, for example, poor people are mostly stuck in an Android "monopoly" because they can't afford an iPhone. It's a separate market. That's just one example. Captive app stores and their relationship with developers are another. I imagine there's more.

Know your audience.

"Programmer" might be better than "software engineer."

"Startup" might be better than "Fintech startup."

And a simple "I am a programmer" might be the best opening line because it leaves the most room for people to share their interests.

A conversation is back and forth. There are adults out there who want to tell someone they are learning Python or took Java in college.

And that's at least as interesting as what you want to say.

Good luck.
