You're right, actually. When I first played through MD I did it very linearly, only later did I realize that it was far more open than I originally expected (Because Human Revolution was pretty limited in comparison).

My point for it being a shallow imitation should be reserved only for the plot and themes of the original game, which are far more subversive and interesting than the ones in MD or HR. But I do agree, gameplay wise Mankind Divided is very well done and does fit the Nakatomi Space paradigm.
This would be brilliant for helping simplify some contracts (preconditions, postconditions and invariants).

What a lot of people don't seem to realize is that manufacturing accounts for only around 11% of the GDP in US

https://www.statista.com/statistics/248004/percentage-added-...

We can look at steel production volumes to get an idea of the size of the productive industry in US. According to official data, US produced 6.8 million metric tons of steel in June this year https://www.trade.gov/data-visualization/us-steel-executive-...

This is comparable to Russia, which produced 5.8 million metric tons https://www.statista.com/statistics/1079878/russia-steel-pro...

US might be the most industrialized western economy, but turns out it’s steel production is only slightly higher than in Russia. And it’s important to keep in mind that Russia has a much smaller population, so per capita production is actually higher than in US.

Meanwhile, China where 90 million metric tons of steel is produced in a month https://www.reuters.com/markets/asia/china-june-crude-steel-...

China’s productive industry is a whole order of magnitude larger than US. This shows just how absurd the notion that US is in some sort of meaningful competition with China. It's like an ant by comparison.
> sits in the way of solutions and learning a new technology

How so? I find it to be most useful in that exact area. Taking your existing code and turning it into another language, implementing something with a library you want to try but can't be arsed to read the docs for, making a first draft of an implementation you're not sure how to begin, or just researching what exists in general. Learning new things has never been this easy.
The drop in capacity, output, and cost are threefold

1. Our survival is not at stake

2. No one trusts the economy or current administration to invest in it

3. The complete destruction in national identity, social cohesion, and any call whatsoever to a higher power.

This leads to the natural outcomes of

1. Complacency and coasting

2. High risk for little perceivable gain

3. A society that doesn't believe what we have is even worth protecting

It seems like every 5 years I hear about how someone is going to make python not have a GIL, improve performance drastically, etc etc.

Then reality comes in and says, "nah".

Honestly at some point its better to likely start porting code to a language where you can control parallelism better. There's a few nice modern options that don't involve all the headaches of C++ or C. Could even be extensions as has been the case since the dawn of time.

Being a bit pedantic, you said employees don’t have contracts, as in any, I certainly have several.

I agree most people don’t have “employment contracts” with defined timelines and places of work. I don’t have this.

Speaking of which, software that doesn’t use the AES-NI instructions is becoming glaringly obvious because the performance difference is so huge.

In the era of mechanical drives and 2 Mbps “broadband” nobody would notice. Now with SSDs and gigabit home internet, people do notice but vendors are still pretending they can just ignore the need to offload encryption.

VPN products and IPsec especially is almost always a disaster in my experience.

When evaluating any kind of network security product like a virtual WAN appliance, tunnel, or whatever, check the throughput. If it can get tens of gigabits for a single stream then it is using some sort of offload. If it seems to hit the wall at around 1.5 Gbps per core, do not buy.
I came to the opposite conclusion. We can probably just agree to disagree on this.

> The Pentagon’s head-in-the-sand approach is why Lockheed now has a chokehold on nuclear missile modernization, since it bought the key supplier of rocket engines and denies those engines to rivals bidding for the contract to upgrade what is known as the nuclear triad.

There are multiple suppliers for rocket engines, both solid fuel and liquid fueled rockets.

Furthermore, many rocket engine companies would love to build new rocket designs on fat, fully funded defense time & materials contracts coming up with alternative designs to fit specific form factors or new requirements (ICBMs, interceptors, etc). The newer companies like SpaceX, Rocketlabs, and Blue Origin are particularly hungry, and they are willing to compete against the legacy Defense firms if they are given an opportunity.

Now, if the RFPs were written in such a way as to prevent all these new upstarts from competing, well, that is a different problem.

The US does not have supply chains to to dominate anymore. Even if China's authorianship is a massive issue for everyone except CCP, they have the manufacturing base. No one can compete. It's almost twice as United States where, as the article points out, capital is allocated to inefficient stock buybacks.

China – 28.4% Global

United States – 16.6% Global Manufacturing Output

Japan – 7.5% Global Manufacturing Output

Furthermore, the life expectancy in the US is nosediving. It has massive internal problems not only on the health of its people but political coherence, which needs to be fixed before the US can get back to the growth track.

This is actually the most worrisome part for me. A bunch of young unemployed men who have no prospect of marriage and no real stake in society. That's the kind of thing that leads to some guy declaring himself Jesus's brother and starting a nasty civil war that kills 10 of millions, especially if it spills over into neighboring countries.
This sounds like the methodology for blockchain and multiple ledgers. Ultimately however crt.sh is hosted somewhere and while there may be multiple controllers that have access to logs on the front-end, someone hosting that site could be compelled or blackmailed into tinkering with the levers behind the scene to exclude activity on a domain. I'm not suggesting that is what is happening, just that it could and Apple, Google and others would have plausible deniability. On the other hand having active probes distributed around the world on multiple ISP's looking for fingerprint changes would be much harder to hide though more expensive to operate along similar lines to archive.is or using distributed Nagios NPRE agents or using ThousandEyes probes.
I understand the impulse. Truly, I do.

But there's pretty much no human being alive that requires zero social interaction to feel good. And GP's point is that you gotta make friends while you are more able.

You may not be interested now, but the worst case is finding yourself needing a friend and unable to make one.
There's a GIL presentation [1] from 2010 which shows Python 3.2 on a 1 CPU machine was faster than on a dual core.

> I agree most people don’t have “employment contracts” with defined timelines and places of work. I don’t have this.

That was the entire point I was trying to make. The thread derailed into pedantry immediately afterward. Sorry for any confusion.

You are right, though: People generally do not have employment contracts that guarantee things like remote work. This would imply penalties to the company if they changed their remote work policy.

No corporate counsel is going to accidentally let that language into contracts. That's my point.

> "The OS has nothing to do with this aside setting ..."

note: Additional technical information context/solution provided for answer is a bit beyond the typical response required for question.

OS has better control/access to user set of i/o streams.

Not the most efficient/convenient way, but ebpf can be setup to detect 'escape text patterns' and filter by user/xwindows widgets/aspect of program such as title. Would be a pain, because of need to deal with inband/non-cannonical characters (ctrl-D & EOF being majority of live stream problem)

Sticking to 'title change' is a non-continuous stream aka for this talk, first non-connonical character closes the stream, aka no distinction between Form Feed / Line Feed or ctrl-D.

Simple user land way would be to redirect terminal to sed /awk script to identify 'title' command, strip out the 'security sequence issues' before passing along i/o to what ever is going to do the 'window with title to change'.

OS, windows manager, initial login shell and process initiating the window who's title are to be changed are parent processes with io points that can be redirect with the aforemention script.

in-band control for terminals also allows for redirecting to remote machines via programs like telenet without the need for ssh! (for security, would need to do a few other things too) 1st process to

Using loopback device/socket instead of named/anonymous pipe redirection will allow for raw/non-cannonical input (control done out of band) -- assuming the filter program (other than standard user shell) setup to handle/pass along raw/cannonical input/output.

Sort fun way to customize 'rm -rf' with a pop-up check question 'Are you really sure you want remove everything' and terminate the command if unintentional (and/or keep tabs on what removed by running find command / mail list).

further search terms: stty, tty, raw, cooked, canonical, non-cannonical

For this topic, perhaps confirm with user if really wanted to allow (escape sequence), retry(filter out ansi sequence), aboard(skip it). Or just log attempt for review/action later.
cmd and powershell are shells, not terminals.

I'm curious if other Americans have any advice about how to make friends. I find it obnoxiously and unnecessarily difficult, and I don't think I'm alone.

I don't enjoy any of the community or volunteer events in my area (I have tried everything regular, but nothing has stuck). I moved here for work, so I don't have any friends or family support structure in the area. Everyone gets around by car, even though it is extremely walkable here (a personal preference), so I don't even see my neighbors except for when they drive their cars in and out of their driveway.

I know that social isolation is awful for my health. I know that making new friends can be tough at first; you need to hang out with someone enough times in a row to overcome the initial awkwardness and build up mutual understanding. But how the hell am I supposed to meet up with people repeatedly when I have to bend over backwards to fit socialization in between work, feeding myself, exercising, and cleaning (let alone other tasks)? Not to mention that, even working remotely, I'm often so drained after a workday that I don't feel up to socializing.

The only place to 'hang out' in most parts is the library (not conducive to chat) and bars/breweries (expensive, unhealthy, and home to a... certain demographic).

I've heard that other countries supposedly have better work/life balance than the USA. Do folks who have experienced this contrast find it easier to make friends elsewhere?

In the UK, at least, an employee has to consent to any material change to the terms in the contract.

Obviously, you don't have to sign anything to receive a payrise or bonus because the employee isn't going to turn it down (1), but you will be informed in writing of any payrise or bonus and if the employer reneges on it, you have proof they promised it to you. (1: of course, there are extremely rare situations where you might not want a payrise, e.g. if it pushes you out of a beneficial means tested situation, but these are generally rare because minimum wage usually means a full time job pays slightly more than benefits.)

OTOH, if you are given a promotion there will definitely be a new contract to sign - it's not left to chance by the company, because without doing so they have no way of proving that you have agreed to do more work in exchange for the new title and payrise.

Similarly, if the company wants to reduce your pay or change something about the terms of the contract which you don't want, e.g. forcing you to change from remote to in-office, you can refuse the change. If they attempt to fire you after that, it's fairly easy to bring a constructive dismissal case - you show the tribunal your contract showing your requirements, they will see you length of service, and the fact you were terminated just after refusing to accept a change to your contract. Of course, it's usually in both parties' interest to negotiate an exit package in such a situation or for employer to back down if that actually works out cheaper.

I have had friends that have worked in companies during the financial crisis ~2008 that gave employees the choice to collectively agree to a 10% pay-cut for a year with no redundancies and then reverting to the original pay, or somebody would have to be let go assuming nobody wanted to volunteer to leave (in this case they didn't). It's interesting, because they still had to get everybody to sign the new contract with the agreed terms, and while it would have been hard for someone to stand up to the peer pressure somebody could in theory have agreed publicly in the meeting but later refused to sign.

Another weird edge case is that if your contract requires you to work in a specific location, unless your contract also specifically has a clause that allows the company to require you to work elsewhere, it's possible to refuse to accept gardening leave and require the company to provide an office for you to work in while you serve your notice period. This weird legal rule is because spending time at home may require you to use lights and heating that you wouldn't need if you were in the office, and so it's financially disadvantaging you to take gardening leave. Of course, by that point most people are only too keen to get away from the job as quickly as they can, that they willing accept gardening leave.
Perhaps. It doesn't say anything about their likelihood of having yet another breach. After all, this isn't the first.
> China has the oldest population in the world.

Source for this? Monaco and Japan have the highest median age in the world, at 55.4 and 47.3 years, respectively; the United States is 62nd at 38.5 years, with China just below at 38.4. What do you mean when you say China has the oldest population in the world?

Russia has literally deleted entire Ukrainian cities off the map, so this is a very strange paragraph to right.

It is also much harder to evacuate people in Gaza.
