That might be another reason that Hadrian's Wall is more remembered - It's one they held for a reasonably long time (generations) whereas Antonine's was far more ephemeral in that way too.

The Berlin Wall is almost gone, but I don't think anyone will forget it in a hurry.
> Saying that purists want people to suffer is quite misleading

Not at all. I've watched enough movies where the director clearly wanted the viewer to suffer, based on the idea that only through suffering can the viewer be enlightened. The suffering is in the form of making a bad movie.

Solaris comes to mind. I've tried to watch it multiple times, but the director (and the director's fans) clearly revel in the notion that one must suffer through the movie, and that's the point of it. The movie is boring on every level - bad dialog, bad plot, bad cinematography, bad pacing, bad acting, everything is bad about it. And it's (small) number of fervent fans love it for its wretchedness. They can keep it :-)

I saw a colorized version of Metropolis a few decades ago. The technology to do it right wasn't there, but it was enjoyable in a way the original was not. I've since watched the full version when the missing footage was found, and there's an ideal film that would benefit from the application of modern technology. I bet Fritz Lang would love it.

TCM also ran a version of the silent "Wings". They added some color in a few spots, and some airplane engine sounds. Even just that little bit made the picture much more watchable.

I'd like to see the FM Busby musicals fixed up.

Some movies I wouldn't touch would be Top Hat. It's perfect as it is :-)

He's unable to admit when something is taking the wrong direction! I play-tested Godus throughout it's journey and in the early middle, it was really enjoyable to play and it took the right direction. But then they did a 180 and could never figure out the mechanics of the AI inhabitants or "what to do next" in the game, so it became a one-trick pony that never led anywhere. And there was certainly no lack of feedback about these issues early on..

Yea, i literally said you understand.

As an aside, i really hope Youtube finds a way to block all adblocks. I want more viewers for competition in the subscription space to exist.
Does this mean omnigres could be used offline on mobile devices? Similar to an sqlite instance?
Apple's plan was to scan only those photos going into iCloud on the client, so that they can send them to the server e2e encrypted. That is strictly better for privacy than scanning them in the cloud, as other providers do.

Of course, they could lie and scan everything, but as others pointed out, they could do that already anyway.
This is the entire reason. HTML, JS, and CSS weren't designed for their current purpose and updating them requires slow coordination across browser developers.

Once you start using compile-to-JS and get out of the JS ecosystem mess, the developer experience suddenly feels much less complicated.

Yes, apologies, what I meant by "favored" was that in every department, women applicants were more likely to get an admission than men. But I'm pretty sure the admission rate can still be lower for women overall than men overall, using exactly the same scenario you described. If the sociology department admits 10 percent of applicants and the physics department admits 90, it seems very easy for gender bias in applications to shift women towards 10 and men towards 90, even if the rate is a few percent higher for women.
He's mostly missed, in recent years, but in a weird way I've missed him. Whether he can live up to his own hype, whether he is as much a legend to others as he is to himself, whether he's pushing the boundaries of art and interactivity, or simply making all the obvious mistakes and claiming it's something new, he's fantastically entertaining in the process.

I don't think you can change a work that drastically without the change itself being a piece of art. And the original artists might not want to be left out of that process.

This article is so confusing to read. It keeps repeating itself, and interrupting its own one-sentence paragraphs with off-topic reminders about how powerful the F1 engine was, in case you forgot that you read the same thing two paragraphs ago.

To clarify, there was no breach of 23andMe's system. Instead, individual users had their accounts hacked (e.g. password reuse), and the "DNA relatives" feature from 23andMe means you can see information about others who are a DNA match to you.

But you choose what you get to share in the first place. If you're willing to share that info to any rando who comes up as a DNA relative, is that data really considered that private to begin with?
I'm not sure it's a good example... Stardew Valley as a technical feat is pretty average, there's nothing fancy. In fact the game could have been made 20 years ago with this looks. Comparing it to AAA is really far from the truth, because modern 3D game dev is much much much more complicated.

Without knowing anything about MOND, this never made sense to me.

If MOND can explain away all cases where m > 0[*], it'd be a bit strange it can't explain m = 0.

If MOND can only accommodate a certain range, wouldn't that also present a problem for dark matter? If all previously known galaxies had dark matter in that range, why would every galaxy have roughly the same amount of dark matter except the one that doesn't have any?

[*] Where I guess m would be the ratio of dark to ordinary matter.

I think that if a copyright is held by the creator, it's fine that it's longer. If it's inherited to a person then the age should be inherited as well, so the exponential fee kicks in as if the creator had lived.

If it's sold or otherwise acquired by a non-person (company or similar) the exponential fee should kick in immediately.

Something along those lines.

The TPM had multiple functions, and for verifying operating system images indeed no private key is required. For that to work, it is merely required that the OS doesn't have write access to the TPM.

Private key material is required for remote attestation, which makes it possible to prove certain things to an external party, for example the exact identity of the TPM. This feature is much more questionable.

Wiki is pretty scant on how his device generated electricity. The photoelectric effect was known about before the invention of the solar cell per se, but converting the experimental effect into a mechanism to charge a battery demands a little 'more'

This article [*] implies he was making a thermal-electric effect device, and may have hit on efficiency from solar effects as well by accidentally making a junction device.

This has probably hit the enterprise software world as well, at least from what I can tell. A lot of people are solidly in frontend or backend; backend tends to be even narrowed into asynchronous systems, identity, etc. Finding people who have some high to medium level knowledge in most of the landscape, a more low level background in general computing, and can dig into specific subjects when they need to is exceedingly rare.

If I had to guess, generalists look very unfocused to managers and recruiters and are often not considered for TL positions.

Imagine you go to a market notorious for haggling and the company that sold you your wallet monitors all your transactions and reports them to whomever of the market sellers pays most.

You are now the fat chicken, ready to be plucked: You just bought a hammer, now you need nails. From your social media trail sellers can also infer you are somewhat of a dimwit. Hurry, nails are in high demand in your area. But no worries, here is a great offer for you, valid for the next 0.3 hours.

I just can't understand how people have come to accept such erosion of their privacy, ultimately their very own economic interests and agency under the hands of manipulative operators and captured regulators.

What kind of collective inanity allows such social degeneration. Was it always like that? Is there any hope?
> To clarify, there was no breach of 23andMe's system.

Is this solid information? A lot of different stories in media. For instance, WP reported that there was a breach. Some other stories report a 1M-7M breach.

Another thing, of course, is that the company blatantly violates the GDPR and related laws:

"But during the account deletion process, 23andMe tells users that the company and its partner lab will hang onto your “genetic information, date of birth and sex,” after your account is deleted, per state and federal legal requirements, according to two 23andM3 users, who shared screenshots of the deletion process with The Post."

They _do_ do that anyway for iCloud. The E2EE support was inherently better, as it significantly reduced the decrypted content exposure to Apple. The uproar over the feature and Apple’s relenting on the implementation resulted in no E2EE as the default. Allegedly advanced data protection does do E2EE for iCloud Photos though. I can understand the good intentions playing out poorly and being ripe for abuse.
I've been in the workforce for almost 40 years as an ICT professional. In my experience there's lots of other things going on in addition to the point you make.

People flat-out don't believe that the skills enumerated on my resume could be held by a single person, and are.

Apparently, I'm clearly "over the hill", having been at this for nearly 40 years. I should state that I have 20+ years experience instead, as-if having life experience doesn't actually make you better qualified to understand the contexts of any role in an organisation.

My skill-set is "threatening" to others, because, apparently, knowing things about a great many technologies means that I know more than the person hiring me, which somehow means that I'm a threat. As-if surrounding yourself by people who are smarter than you is suddenly undesirable.

I've been told to "dumb down" my resume because there's too much there, even if there's 99% chance that a computer will be the device actually reading it and selecting me. Apparently I'm supposed to "infiltrate" a company at a lower level and then "show" them that I can do more, despite 40 years experience showing that people only see the skills that they want to see.

According to some automated job technologies I have 104 years of experience. Not sure how that works.

Then there are those who want to know which of the experience is "professional" and which isn't. (I've been self-employed for the past 23+ years)

In the end, I liken it to this:

"How much experience do you have in eating food?"

"Do you mean, adding together each of the 15 minute meals, or how long have I been eating food for since I was born?"

"Okay, how much professional experience do you have eating food?"

"..."
Or - on the backend there has been constant evolution of frameworks but browsers didn't provide lot of features that IMHO should have been in place such as ways to split and import into each other JS and CSS files or having variables in CSS and such.

The language probably won't be perceived as "sexy" enough compared to, i.e., full-stack JavaScript. Most people don't really like SQL and aren't that good at it. Hence the continued popularity of ORMs that support the often-seen pattern of bulk-loading everything into the application server for processing instead of using a simple UPDATE statement.

Yeah but is the game industry really better off having such complicated games? Some might say no. I'm finding that I have more fun and feel better about supporting indie games. Less shit I have to deal with from companies that don't have the same level of connection with their games.

Yes, I had it running on a Raspberry Pi a while ago, it worked well.
Arguably the tech at the time did not allow Mark Twain to be properly captured at all, so even the original contains imperfections that distort the image. A high res AI version that restores it based on statistical training is still better and would show an "educated guess" of what he looked like.
Possible, sure. Arguably required as an indie/small team. But if your aim is AA/AAA industry it's shooting yourself in the foot. Those industries seek deep specialists more than generalized knowledge. Maybe a director can benefit most, but you don't become a game director through that route. They promote that in-house.

On the indie side, a generalist indie needs less of what a big game needs. You probably don't need a graphics programmer at all for an indie game, for example.
Hairstyles and accompanying hat wear are definitely not a hobby of mine, and yes, I was aware. But I also have watched a lot of period films where they’ve shown such a thing.
>No it isn't. Most popular web frameworks expect to be used with an ORM and will autogenerate CRUD queries, while providing minimal if any support for more complex queries with logic in them.

Or a query builder. Whether you use the ORM or query builder to build the queries or you manual build it is up to you. That's exactly my point. These queries aren't "autogenerated" you're writing a query in your web application with primitives decided by the framework and the ORM and then it's getting compiled into a SQL query with SQL primitives that's it. It's the same thing. I don't know what you're negating here, you're basically regurgitating exactly what I said.

>They do, but they use those SQL databases like a key value store - read/write by primary key most of the time, with occasional relationships but nothing fancier than that (e.g. no aggregations).

Wrong. A SQL database is more like an array. Things are stored in memory one after the other. That is the default. You can then choose an index, and have pointers to sections of the array that can make it havethe speed of your typical hash map or n-ary search tree. There is a huge amount of logic being thrown into IO.
You have an account for over three years and this is the first thing you say?
Well then maybe companies should allow for more horizontal mobility for the employees that they already have instead of always hiring from the outside. Or perhaps recruiters should be trained to stop filtering out candidates from another tech stack but with many years of experience because the same patterns apply anyway, only the language is different.
> in a control group

The control group gets the current standard treatment, not nothing (in case that was a source of confusion). Plus they typically don't have to pay for it which is a benefit for them.

Large trials today will typically conduct interim analyses and will have pre-defined guidelines for when to stop the trial because the new treatment is either clearly providing a benefit or is clearly futile.

Here is an example of such a study: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCHEARTFAILURE.111...

Very cool talk! I recently made a word game and will be applying these principals.
I doubt any would describe my voice as "loud", but I suspect I fall into the 0.01% you mention.

I sell code (programming libraries, and commercial business systems) which have been under continual development sint 1996. So 27 years.

Copyright in this context would be complicated in a "20 year" model. Last month saw a significant upgrade to a product first released in 2000. Should the 2K version be public domain now?

I get the main complaint, especially in the context of old games like infocom (which are abandoned). It feels like those should move gracefully to public domain. But on the other hand there are those of us who do still make a living from old, but active, code.

I do agree that current copyright is absurdly long, but I also understand why Disney et al see ongoing value in their creations and are prepared to lobby for that value.

I don't think there's a simple fix here, one which covers such a wide set of circumstances. All the fixes I've seen proposed are "great for x, terrible for y".
