What about the difference in pay checks and difficulty of the development? E.g. I know many iOS developers that are, how to say that, very far from being techy, geeky or whatever name we’d use for the community. Some of them aren’t even aware about what git is (yet they use it somehow), but their pay check way higher than the one Android developers have. Also (if they work for a company) they’re given all the needed devices (e.g. a MacBook Pro, iPhone, Apple Watch and iPad, if needed). I haven’t seen an Android developer that is treated like that. And for me it looks like Android developers need to know way more, yet they’re under appreciated.
So you look at the aerial and satellite photography and you really believe that every last building was justifiably destroyed as a legitimate military target?

If that's the case, then the government propaganda has done its job. There's nothing more to say.
This game has a couple of interesting notes for me:

1. It's kinda what helped me find a career. I had trouble tolerating work for long enough, and while I could do it, it would get to me. I realized a LOT of the play patterns in this game are mostly optimization and data entry, so decided to take a start there and eventually wound up in tech.

2. It has a really cool, if possibly impossible to now play, fan made version called onlink. To memory it's not a mod so much as a separate application and has a lot more depth (annnnd unfortunately bugs). I know they were working on trying to make a standalone "movie hacking" simulator, but I don't know if that ever got off the ground (Cerberus I believe)
What does it mean "blazing fast"? Every new thing is blazingly fast nowadays.. deno, bun, turbopack, etc. I don't even know what does it mean to me as a user, does it really super fast or it is just some fancy words. "blazingly fast" compared to what?
To think - if it'd been a laptop they would have had to smash it with a hammer.

The fastest ARM-based computers that are not more expensive than better Intel or AMD based computers, which means that a complete fully-equipped computer with DRAM and SSD should not exceed the $200 to $250 range (where computers with Intel N100 or with older Zen 3 Ryzen 5 mobile CPUs can be found), are the computers with CPUs having Cortex-A76 cores (like the smartphones from 2019).

In this class, there are many models with RK3588, having e.g. dual 2.5 Gb/s Ethernet ports (with the possibility of attaching more Ethernet NICs on USB 3 or on PCIe M.2 adapters) and supporting PCIe 3 x4 M.2 SSDs and/or eMMC (and the attachment of more SSDs on USB). (The model that I like most is NanoPC-T6, which exploits best all the interfaces of RK3588, but without adding things that should better be added externally, only when they are needed, like the additional USB hub present in many other models.)

A cheaper option, but with much slower peripheral interfaces, is the new Raspberry Pi 5 model.

Nevertheless, a homelab server with an ARM CPU makes sense only for developing Aarch64 applications.

For just doing the job there are many small and cheap fanless computers with Intel N100 (4 E-cores) and 4 to 8 2.5 Gb/s Ethernet ports (typically sold on Amazon as firewall appliances). For only a few dollars extra it is possible to find much faster cheap small computers (from companies like Minisforum or Beelink) with older AMD Zen 3 CPUs, like the 6-core Ryzen 5 5600H.

For a higher price of $500 to $600, there are small computers with AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS, which can support e.g. dual M.2 PCIe 4 x4 SSDs and SATA SSDs, and dual 10 Gb/s Ethernet NICs (on Thunderbolt), dual 2.5 Gb/s ports on the MB + many other 2.5 Gb/s ports on USB, while being faster than big and expensive servers from some years ago.
(I am aware of the author). The opinion not mentioned is not flawed. Some basic things were definitely missing when Compose was made 1.0.
Now 2 years later, there are still features open that some consider basic.

My opinion as an android dev: he's definitely very knowledgeable, but you should also hear other opinions. It's not a writer you should listen to blindly.
How To Play?
Whenever I hear anyone making dubious claims about struggling (like "we make over 100k credits and barely making ends meet"), I always ask, what car do you drive?

It's amazing how quickly people's expectations change. Once they get in that new car it's the new normal. They'll get just as angry and frustrated in it as any other, but it's now an essential with an insanely high cost.

It's also full of hidden costs. People can usually tell you how much they're spending on rent, but what about how much they spend on the car? You need to add up any interest, depreciation, insurance, tax, fuel, regular maintenance, repairs, consumables, tolls, cleaning, and that's not even counting your priceless time spent driving.

Car people will just gobble up a random 1k credit repair bill when their gearbox randomly gives out then forget all about it in a few months and never once question if this thing is worth it.

I am of the opinion that these restrictions are used (quietly) to preform a kind of capital restrictions while not (officially) having such capital restrictions in place. This happens because governments (or populations?) have accepted that, say, an agriculture bill (or law) can have sections that cover tech. So if you are trying to do something and you don't want to say it, you slip it in under "fraud" or "AML" or something else.

Now that everyone (including third-world countries) have figured that out; and legacy companies (big Tech, MasterCard/Visa, big banks) know that this makes their customer life hellish however it kills competition: They'll bend over backward, forward and multi-laterally to implement anything that any lawmaker asks them for.

If you are a very simple simpleton, say a government official with a single income, a regular rental, and regular bills (your groceries and your kids pencils), you'll very unlikely face any issue. But start to deviate from that, and everything starts breaking. Governments are becoming hostile to anything that doesn't fit their narrative.

This is only getting worse from here...
It's a pretty common word in research. After all, "thought experiment" is actually a translation from German.
As the sibling said, you first need to install the wasmer CLI.

You need a fairly recent version, so using the install script is recommended.

"Lastly, it is of importance to be aware that the observed effects in the current study were yielded from pure caffeine administration. The common caffeinated dietary, e.g., coffee or tea, contains several other biocompounds (such as chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, trigonelline, kahweol, and cafestol83) which may provide other neuroprotective effects. Thus, one should not exclude a potential beneficial effect which caffeinated dietary may bring."

I used to play a lot of Angband.

An important mechanic in that game is that monsters have different types of attacks, and you need to be wearing equipment and/or maintaining temporary buffs that make you resistant or immune to those attack types. There are 30-40 relevant player flags, and as you collect stronger equipment more resistances will be available to you, making it safe to adventure deeper within the dungeon.

You have to fit those few dozen player flags into your actual equipment, which is one helm, one amulet, two rings, a pair of gloves, a chestpiece, a cloak, a weapon, a shield (if your weapon isn't two-handed), a pair of boots, and maybe a ranged weapon.

You also need a lot of stat point pluses, which are another thing you get from your equipment.

One of the things I found most enjoyable in the game was sitting parked in my home in town, looking at the pieces of equipment I'd collected and saved, and thinking about how I might shuffle my equipment around for a better overall setup.
...and surprisingly non-lethal, at least for the M6.5-7ish earthquakes in developed countries, similar to what would hit SF.

Loma Prieta killed 63 people. Northridge killed 57. The 2011 Christchurch earthquake killed 185. By contrast, about 30 people die every year from cold, 134 from heat, 44 from being hit by lightning, 85 from flooding, 69 from tornadoes [1], 103 from mass shootings, 21K from gun-related homicide, 26K from gun-related suicide [2], 70K from fentanyl [3], and 280K from obesity [4]. For completeness, excluding 9/11 about 15 people die per year from terrorism [5], with median 2 and mode 0.

Note the 3-order-of-magnitude difference between headline-worthy deaths like natural disasters and terrorism, vs. slow dangers like homicide, suicide, overdose, or obesity. You're about 7 times more likely to die from being struck by lightning than an earthquake.

Yes, how soon until your smart/spy/corporate door refuses to let you out, because your smart/spy/corporate phone has determined you're ill, even if you are asymptomatic?
Nice, any chance you’ll package all this up one day? I appear to be getting better numbers than these right now but I suspect it’s because the DB is simpler and fairly empty to begin with, so presumably we could be going even faster.

Wells Fargo has TOTP over their App. They used to suck as an international option, but now they are my go to. They also give you a little device that generates TOTP numbers offline. Quite handy if your mobile is disconnected, you lose your number, etc...

Well, I'd claim that Idris is pretty much that. A general purpose (if highly experimental) programming language with the power of a proof assistant.

Also, I have seen people write proofs in Coq and extract them to compilable OCaml source code.
Sunlight exposure is associated with reduced all-cause mortality, as well as reduced incidence of several specific diseases including some types of cancer.

It’s also associated with higher endorphin levels, and the maintenance of proper circadian rhythm through melatonin synthesis.

Most of these effects have been found to be unrelated to vitamin D, but that’s also a significant benefit considering the poor bioavailability of supplements.

The reduction in all-cause mortality from sunlight exposure is significant enough that people with an early diagnosis and treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer have a higher average life expectancy than the general population.

Well, Uplink was certainly a very fun game for me. Played it around 2003-2006ish.

I remember a quick way to increase your rank was by hacking the international crime database and put many hackers into prison. Hehe good old times.

Definitely want to play another game like this (an updated graphics is certainly nice addition).
It is a meme, but at the same time performance has become a popular selling point again.
Safer roads probably. Speaking to Americans it's like crashes are an everyday occurrence and everyone seems to have experience of one. Over here it's more likely someone goes there entire life without a single collision or insurance payout at all.
I'm starting to wonder why people are saying their stuff is fast. Much of the time there's no benchmark.

There hasn't been a release in a while, but onlink is still in active development.
I don't see why you're getting downvoted. There is an ocean of difference between "we're on track to fix things" and "nobody's doing anything at all", yes, but it does nobody any good to pretend we haven't even gotten on the boat yet. They'll just reach the assumption that it's 100% hopeless.
The only time it ever happened was once in the 70s. A guy bought pixy stix, opened them up, laced the candy with cyanide, closed them with a stapler so they were clearly adulterated, and then gave the candy to his children and a few of their friends. His intention was to murder his children to collect life insurance because he was over 100k in debt. His son ate the candy and died. He died quickly and his death was linked to the candy quickly enough that police recovered the other adultered candy before another other children died

He was fairly quickly identified as a suspect and then caught. Somehow over the years this story of a shithead scumbag father murdering his child morphed into the idea that a stranger would adulterate candy for the fun of it, which as far as I am aware has never happened. Unless the original poster isn’t lying which would likely be able to be substantiated fairly easily as they clearly knew which house gave out the apples so the perpetrator would be easily identified. Or maybe we’re supposed to believe they found a razor in their children’s candy and just let it go without reporting anything to the police or media, who would obviously pounce on the one time in history this urban legend finally came true aside from a sociopath father trying to pull insurance fraud.

> it doesn't scale down to lower end hardware

Do these people buy games? I see very few companies that care whether older/lower end hardware can run their software, presumably because the people who have it don't spend on tech otherwise.

It is a pretty common complaint that something does not work on lower end hardware.
Except most people will do exactly this, without understating the implications.
Latency due to head-of-line blocking is a big issue with TCP. Any packet loss causes a backup of all other data while waiting for retransmit. Window negotiation would make your control spotty because you’d be layering two different/incompatible flow mechanisms

> But why bother with UDP? Why can’t you do this with a TCP connection? Just measure the time deltas and throttle yourself if it spikes, right? Good question, and I don’t have a good answer.

I used to SSH from my moto droid to my university lab and work on my bus commute.

Back when I cared, I would root my phone and install custom roms and had basically a fully functioning Linux environment. iptables worked and I would block network access to certain apps.

It's been a long time since I used to mess around with this stuff, but file access was fine. I'm not sure what the case is now, but it was possible to access pretty much all the files on the phone. Apps had their own folders mounted in /data/ and you could mess around with their files easily.

Android is much more of a computing device than a microwave or an iOS device.
The implicit assumption is then also that the work of those who give you the news is worthless, as you should pay absolutely zero to access it?
> We always celebrate each Android release with a statue. I remember them arriving by truck to the Mountain View office, and Tracey Cole (Android’s first administrative assistant) would send a message to everyone in the building asking for help to unload it. Then the next year, we’d add another statue and continue to just find space on the lawn. Pretty quickly it got crowded and we didn't know what to do with all these statues! I'm happy to report we've now found a good home for them in Mountain View, and that we have continued our tradition of statue unveilings with each release.

It is quite unfortunate that they’re no longer publicly accessible :(

Describing Ramanujan as self-taught downplays that, within colonial India, he had access to some decent resources, and probably more than the median of the era: primary and secondary schooling, some interaction with older students, and a few of the books on higher mathematics. That was enough to open up all the possibilities he needed to "think mathematically". By his late teens it had become a total obsession, he ceased studying other subjects and failed out of academia. That is, the things he had already encountered were sufficient to get him started, and then he made things harder on himself because he couldn't play by the rules. But he replaced that disadvantage with persistence and trial and error, submitting what he had to whomever he could contact until, by the time it reached Hardy, it started to resemble formal language that other mathematicians understood.

I’m not sure you can bomb things in a city and not get collateral damage. Also, the poster admitted that they get things wrong.

It’s only natural to err on the side of false positives when the alternative is allowing your enemy to live and kill your people later.

Android existing is obviously good but I still wonder about the original sin of it being Java based. Latency on so many things always gets me (I still remember how an iPhone SE would routinely outperform a top of the line Galaxy for Google Maps), and I know “Java slow” is more of a meme than anything but I can’t help but imagine that it must affect every project (especially vendor stuff which might be competently made but not made with performance in mind)

Sigh... this is yet another case of parents instructing their children to unscrupulously pad their college applications. No 14 year old can "develop a soap" to "treat skin cancer". Does not happen.

For these competitions, these kids only make impressive slides with huge hypotheticals. Most impressive hypothetical wins. No one's "developed" anything.

Also, it's pretty absurd to expect a soap to treat skin cancer. The evidence for the sun inducing skin cancer is not strong. Using something to then counteract the non-existent effect might just end up becoming responsible for a form of cancer itself. After all, it's much easier to get cancer than to cure it.
