We will still need VPNs to get good connectivity to other residential ISPs until some government entity (or market condition) inspires ISPs to invest in more hardware and peering with each other. CDNs and VPN providers are now sadly a requirement for the internet to work the way we expect it to.
It's probably the closest proxy for which you can get meaningful numbers.
Unity, so basically the same but for games.
IIRC, the media then blew it up and that started the extradition process that lead him into hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy for a bunch of years.
I don't think that's true at all. Nothing else Paradox publishes has AAA graphics, and that's not the target audience for their games. The first Cities Skylines didn't beat Sim City because it had better graphics. It was because of gameplay. Since EA gave up on city sims, they don't even have peers, they're only competing with themselves.

Exactly. Like the OP said, if I want to watch porn, I'll watch porn. If it's important to the story to know that a couple slept together then you can show them going to bed, starting foreplay, and then fade out and cut back in to after the event. There's obvious ways to show the characters had sex together without actually showing the sex. We know they had sex - move the story along! You can still show a titillating butt shot or boob shot if you're trying to juice up your ratings and still not show the actual sex!
Proposal to introduce the term "villain image" for this sort of thing.
I feel like I remember good old days before the troll culture arrived. I had a 3-digit id, and remember users like Meeept (no offense, whoever you were) being the beginning of the decline. Maybe it's just rose-colored glasses on my part, though.
> She was clearly expressing a sentiment that she felt to be true at the time,

Is that clear? She's a professional actress; if she were reading a line written by some PR hack that she didn't really believe was true, how can you be sure you could tell?

Maybe she believed it, or maybe she was told to say this sort of thing to promote the movie. Since she's a professional actress, I'm inclined to believe it's the latter. She probably wasn't totally ignorant of her own industry.
> Did _you_ skip them classes?

That's crossing the line into hostile pedantry--there's no reason to get nitpicky over which step in the reaction chain is most-to-blame for someone losing their eyebrows.

Fooker is still correct that (A) the metallic-vs-salt difference is very important and (B) bringing those metals together with water can cause explosions.
It’s not really complicated or mathy at all. If you want to understand how something really complex like an arbitrarily detailed simulation of the world, for example, can exist solely in data, just imagine an arbitrarily large and detailed 3d choose your own adventure book.

And of course a huge body of human intellectual product is going to imbed a lot more than just the words themselves. To think otherwise is to imagine that there is no meaning in language except the words themselves. Insofar as reasoning can be accomplished in language, or ideas represented, they are encoded in the arrangement and sequence of the words.

LLMs merely allow us to access this imbedded information in a convenient conversational format. No hand wavey magic needed.
Current homeowners often simply can not move, because the costs of a new mortgage at the same sticker price are too high to afford.

This results in an illiquid housing market where people can not move as frequently at they would like.
Kotlin is younger and made better choices by default, like immutable "val" as default option.

Also since it's Jetbrains - IDE integration is superior compared to anything C# can have (including Rider...)
What counts as aggressive is obviously a personal opinion, but what it did was open an (ignorable) dialog in the url bar stating that Edge is based on the same technology as Chrome and with better performance (and a button to switch to the edge download page). Also, it didn't do anything when I tried to download Firefox (from the standard download page).
It is just a matter of preference, I don’t see why people get bent out of shape about it.

30fps is fine for lots of games. Especially for stuff that doesn’t require super twitchy gameplay.

If somebody really cares about 60fps or 120fps, fine. But the developers have some effects they want to implement, and if some of them don’t fit into 8.3ms, let those of us who don’t mind 30fps enjoy them, right?
I think for me the turning point as an inveterate troll was learning about seriously sociopathic nihilistic groups like Queer [n-word] for Satan who would no-kidding bully and doxx vulnerable people. My attempting to get a rise out of the clueless was nothing compared to that kind of monstrousness.
HWS for Hugo Weaving Soliloquies
My cynical take is that everybody noticed, but did not fix. They shipped ASAP. New updates, where they address more tech debt, may fix some if this, claim major performance improvements, and thus guaranteed to generate positive press / posts / tweets.
The reaction is exothermic and also produces H2 gas. If the metal ignites it can also ignite the H2 gas which gets spicy in a hurry, so it's reasonable for someone to interpret that as the metal exploding.
I have not seen an instance where a GPU series that has been out for over 12 months has regressed in performance prior to an older one

Perhaps back in the very early accelerator days when everyone was making GPU-specific hacks of Quake 1 but even that was smoothed over by the transition to DirectX/OpenGL/GLiDE at the time
It's not the average that's the problem, is that it has hard stutters from when you do something like swing or rotate the camera around and force a lot of new things to load. Also there's no fps limiter so I can't stop the game from attempting to match my monitor's 165 FPS with a overheating laptop 3060, causing the stuttering to be even more visible.
I too would love a one button solution. And also a server-only node.
You're playing on an rtx 3090 at 1920x1024 and get 45 fps. I'm confused why you're confused about the negative feedback.
I wish someone'd make a good SimCity-style airport/airline simulator. There've been a few attempts, including one looking a bit like Prison Architect, but none that have been super compelling to me.
Yeah, I'm aware, but I didn't think they were serious about it.
They can, and nobody in the EU will care. Unless they somehow convince OEMs to require acceptance of the Windows EULA prior to purchase of a device with Windows preinstalled(and even then they'll need to provide it in understandable terms to the layman), then the EULA doesn't mean anything. Microsoft has had that issue for decades where they're in violation of consumer rights. You're not allowed to require acceptance of additional terms after the transaction has occurred.
This still happens today. For example, city walls of Moscow were started to be dismantled in 19th century and whatever left was destroyed by the communists after revolution. To widen the roads in the center of the city the communists demolished 18th and 19th century historical buildings (luckily some other buildings were just moved away using rails).

Also new construction sometimes happens in the center and you cannot build something new without destroying a part of history first.
Back then we called them "crackberries" because you could do a lot on them. I mean we still have "crackiphones" today but that's a different meaning.
I had to squint a bit to decipher the writing on this airplane https://airportsim.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/1016.png, but it seems to be "Luftwaffles" - a nice mix between Luftwaffe (the German Air Force, which however doesn't operate any A320s AFAIK) and Lufthansa (which seems to have inspired the livery of the plane - Lufthansa also has a circle on the deep blue tail fin, but it contains a crane instead of waffles).
I think an interesting approach might be a hybrid system that works with both touch and physical buttons. The bottom of the screen could have some generic buttons that could be used to navigate the interface eyes free with some optional audio feedback. For example, I'd imagine a row of buttons like in the OP where maybe the left two buttons are up and down. Depending on the context, the buttons do different things but those two always mean up and down although up and down might mean volume up/down, fans up/down or menu scroll up and down. The screen could then give huge display feedback for those things that wouldn't require much if any driver attention.

The nice thing about the touch is that it allows for a giant display that requires less visual attention when used in conjunction with buttons. It also gives flexibility to add (hopefully inessential but pleasant) functionality or fix interface design mistakes after the fact. It just shouldn't be the primary interface while driving. Like I have no problem with the audio system having an eq app with just a touch ui because I probably don't need to adjust eq when driving, unlike say volume which ideally would just be a physical knob or rocker.

But yes I agree that most current touch interface are horrible lowest common denominator solutions. They are easyish to learn but tend to require significant visual attention which is obviously poor design for something that is used when driving.
Same! The animation is wild.

Apparently it will oscillate between being in orbit around earth to going back into a bouncy horseshoe orbit. Over and over throughout the millennia.

There are even more animations here, though the one in the article is great:

I stopped paying attention when someone recently told me that everyone uses nextjs because “nextjs is meta right now”. Mind you this person has been a developer for about 3 years (not that there’s anything wrong with that but it gives you an idea of whose buying into this stuff)

Vercels devrel is by far the best thing that they do, miles ahead of their engineering.
Precisely, Tesla went their own way for no reason other than cost.. it is objectively worse than their previous implementation, the mainstream implementation, and any of the competing less-standard implementations that Tesla defenders are grasping at.

There's a reason you don't put control buttons on moving parts.

It's like putting the elevator buttons on the door.
Want to press your floor, please wait until the door shuts.. or lunge at it as the door moves. Want to hit the door close button.. sorry that's no longer possible.

Imagine motorized blinds where the button is on the blinds. Better get the ladder out when they are up & you want to bring them down.

Imagine a fan where the buttons were on the spinning blades, or the center rotor with buttons moved while on.

I don't understand the design decisions. You know he was heavily involved in some Tesla change when its something this dumb because no one can stop him.

>Sure you can, but then who will diagnose and fix your hardware/OS interaction problems when you have parts from five vendors in the mix?

Dell is a single vendor that will diagnose and fix all of your hardware issues.

With Oxide you're locked into what looks like a Solaris derivative OS running on the metal and you're only allowed to provision VMs which is a huge disadvantage.

I run a fleet of over 30,000 nodes in three continents and the majority is Flatcar Linux running on bare metal. Also have a decent amount of RHEL running for specific apps. We can pick and choose our bare metal OS which is something you cannot do with Oxide. That's a tough pill to swallow.
I can see it being do-able with some kind of VATSIM-like integration, where you would just need to get the live plane movement data across, and then use that as the AirportSim plane traffic...
Lithium is only a small fraction of the mass of Li-ion batteries. Also, Li does not change oxidation state in Li-ion batteries, so its energy of ionization doesn't affect the voltage of the cell.
Wouldn’t most of that cost be baked into the launch rather than the payload though?
>Of course logic can be made up, and in fact, all logics are. First-order logic, simply-typed higher order logic, dependent type theory, all made up.

That's like saying math is made up. Is it made up or is it discovered?

You're just being pedantic.

>If that's what you want to do, then that's what you want to do!

Yeah and if you want some theory of program design that encompasses every damn concept under the sun as an axiom go for it as well! Genius!
FWIW, “Vercel Postgres” is a white-label of Neon: https://neon.tech/blog/neon-postgres-on-vercel
I will speak with a CFP/CFA before I go about willy-nilly throwing sizeable amounts of money at something. I would probably also put the account into a trust that would prevent them from drawing down until they are 55 unless they are injured or otherwise have a desperate need that is more urgent than their retirement, like their child has an expensively treatable disease or something.
The people have their Internet already. They like Netflix, they like Amazon Prime, they love TikTok, they like Instagram, they like Pinterest, they like their various chat apps, they like their online gaming, and so on.

That is all that they want. Along with some decent ecommerce for shopping and safe, easy to use mobile banking.

There's nothing magical about it, and there never will be. They don't want fluffy magical bullshit. They already have most of what they want and there's nothing grandiose about it, it's overwhelmingly just quasi-boring pedestrian entertainment and amusement to pass the time. That's what they wanted before the Internet, and it's what they naturally want with the Internet. It's because they're tired from their days, their 307 serious life problems (health, mortgage, bills, stress, job), and their exhausting children (that they love dearly of course).

No no no, the peoples Internet must be a vision of splendor! The masses want to spend all day creating extraordinary art, and thinking deeply about complex subjects they just educated themselves on! That's not reality, and it's not what the masses want at all. Not even remotely close.

They want a garbage pile of chaos like Reddit. Where they can insult people without getting punched in the face, and they can learn some tips about wood working other there, and they can look at photos of modded cars over in another sub, and they can go back to insulting someone over in another sub, and then they can watch a stream of rockets being fired at/from Gaza in another thread.

The peoples Internet is already here.
In other words, this is a true Paradox game.

For those that don't play other Paradox published games... Newly launched Paradox games are early access. Maybe perpetual early access with on-and-off performance woes, like Stellaris and other Clausewitz games. As much as I like Paradox games, that and the endless DLC is the steep price you pay for their sim games.

Can you set a cookie from server component now?
Fuck next.js. Honestly. Check out how it bundles and sends the entire react-dom library twice to every user on every page view https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/51508.

Fuck 1MB of JS to render a static HTML page.

Fuck the image component, and not being able to optimise your image unless you use their cloud service for no reason at all.

Fuck spending 3 hours working out why you’re not able to use relative image paths in MDX files and have to shove everything in /public.

Fuck fighting five layers of configuration and bundlers and libraries and GitHub issues to try and load a WASM file without having the whole thing break.

Fuck some half-assed play at being a static site generator and a backend framework, that conveniently works best on your overpriced cloud service.

Use Astro. It’s what next.js pretends to be

>but they will demand proof that the ivory was sustainably harvested

yes, i'm sure this is true for 100% of people buying fancy pianos, and "proof of sustainable harvest" isn't at all a loophole that gets used to sustain an illegal ivory trade.
The Tropico games are a perfectly pleasant place to start. They get progressively easier and more casual.

The Anno games are my all around favorite. 1404 is my favorite, but honestly 1800 is probably the best.

Banished spawned an entire genre unto itself even as it hasn't aged gracefully. These survival sims have a lot more "bite" to them. Try Planetbase for a more streamlined experience. Timberborn if you like physics. Also have heard good things about Farthest Frontier.

And then there's Frostpunk which is an all-around amazing experience. The theming and mood rivals any first-person cinematic shooter.
Not true -- inflation can be caused by multiple things, including supply shocks or even future expectations of inflation ("wage price spiral").

It's Econ 101.
I've lived with an elderly that only watches variations of CSI in TV, as long as it keeps her entertained she gets to pick*

*It's still up for debate if those shows or the news are worse for making her a bit paranoid, you'd think it'd be more clear cut, but she only brings up stuff on the news, if it goes too far we will have to make some changes
50 FPS certainly doesn't make the game unplayable, it's true.

But if that's with an empty map, it's an ominous sign for people who plan to build a city in this city building game, as rendering usually slows as polygon count increases.

And if it's with an $1800 GPU, its an ominous sign for the 99.3% of gamers who don't have an $1800 GPU.

And if that's at 1440p - well, I'd wager a lot of the folks with a $1800 GPU also have a 4k screen.
It's been about a year since Next.js 13 - so a bit more than 4 - 5 months.
So your argument has shifted to "Some people are suffering" from "everyone is suffering." On that point, I agree, but to claim that the economy is terrible for everyone, or even most people, is not accurate.

Further, to conflate "many people are generally unhappy" with "the economy and choices related to the economy are what is making many people unhappy" is unhelpful. The economy can be doing well (the subject of this submission), and people can, separately, be struggling for non-economic reasons. It's unhelpful, however, to constantly bring it up when it's irrelevant, such as right now.
This is getting rhetorically close to "there are children starving in Africa so your problems in life are not valid."
Osage Orange is another interesting domestic species that is extremely strong and also resistant to rot. I use it as a contrast wood for projects where I don't mind the colour change from bright orange to black over time. Things like small inlays but especially as pegs for draw bored mortise and tenon joints. A quick online check reveals it is sold in sizes probably useful for building decks.
Yeah, but generally those games that push for new GPUs look spectacular, not like SimCity 5 from over a decade ago.
Is this an old build or the modern engine? According to steam charts they have 70.1k players in-game right now.

I'm intrigued that the 11th highest current player count on steam has native linux support and open sourced their engine?

They provide sample files too, I'm not saying they have bad motivations in any way, I'm just curious as to why they decided to do this now. Either way I applaud it!
Negotiate uses the OS LDAP tokens on the web.

Windows has that stupid rule where LDAP runs all over the OS or nowhere at all, and Linux has that idea that LDAP is some add-on you assemble by connecting a jigsaw of pieces. Nothing makes it reasonable to publish a domain on the web, where people can authenticate on many of them, and send the tokens where needed.

(Well, actually Firefox does most of it, and you can use it and assemble the Linux pieces so it works. It just doesn't work in practice.)
To be fair, most the stuff ISO adopts is rarely taken as suggested, that isn't the first, nor will be the last.
Yeah. In an infrastructure as code setup there's some more rigor that can be applied, at least in terms of tagging what's going out. But I've generally seen the finops team come in and optimize ex post facto.
Anyone fancy doing the QY70?
> Sex is fundamentally different. As it is not only desirable in many senses, but it is also a basic human function, but at the same time it is something extremely intimate, not something you share with any random person.

That’s cultural - our reactions to violence are pretty fundamental, too, with roots deep in our brains. It’s natural to feel empathy for someone being hurt, to appreciate the implications of them being hurt or killed, etc. The difference is that our culture says that’s okay to show children, so most of us are at least partially desensitized during childhood.
Undo is just the letter u. With the concepts of text objects, boundaries and movement, making mistakes is not easy. Code is also structured which makes it easier to manipulate.

Atomicity here has a linguistic meaning. You know the basic operations, and you compose them to express a more complex ones. Like d is delete, and w is one word to the right, dw means delete one word to the right. di” (delete in) is delete the characters inside the quotes and da” (delete around) also deletes the quotes too.

Once you got the hang of the languages, editing, inserting and selecting text becomes as easy as thinking.

N.B. Normal mode is the default mode, not insert mode
This is not a new generation game, the graphics are at-least 10 years behind the rest of rest the industry. (No PBR or other modern rendering techniques are used).
Is it because poor Americans can't afford to move to Europe even if they would be better off, but wealthier Europeans can emigrate to the USA where they will definitely be better off?
Honestly I tend to agree. Growing up and into my adulthood most of what I saw had the actors so covered up it looked fake and broke some suspension of disbelief.

Now it seems like they are doing everything they can to show of as much nudity as possible, even when it makes no sense and starts to break my suspension of disbelief.
Sodium definitely does explode on contact with water, although not as violently as potassium.

Here's one of the search results for "sodium explosion": https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2015.16771

Unless your comment is about how an explosion needs a pressure wave and sodium is just really burning hydrogen or something.
On the other hand both Spanish capital and Columbus personally took a huge risk. They knew less about what lay ahead than we know about Mars. They new the rewards were high, but the risks were enormous.
Marketers/advertisers have clearly felt different about this forever. There's really no doubt that advertisers leaned on newspapers to have certain stories "above the fold" or to not carry or diminish other stories.

I'd say that advertisers are in a good place to know whether people do or don't notice what ads are next to content, or vice versa.

I do notice ads and assume some minimal endorsement of content by the advertisers - we are constantly assured that Internet ads are at least demographically targeted.
The worst are floors with a thin layer of hardwood surface (a few mm) over some "engineered" material below making up the rest of the plank.

I'm not sure vinyl is indistinguishable from real hardwood, but I'd take it over a worst-of-both-worlds compromise.
