The complaints are valid to some extent, but also overblown too. People complaining that 30-50 FPS is unplayable need to get some perspective on what is and is not playable. And even the article here drops some hot hyperbole when it says that the game runs worse than CP2077 with max settings and path tracing. I've run (tried to run) CP in such a configuration, and I get framerates in the teens. By contrast I haven't actually bothered to measure the framerate in CS2 because it's perfectly smooth for me.

I'm all for holding developers accountable for flawed games, but the level of negative hyperbole around CS2 has been a real stain on the community.
So the answer is… they’re not!
Doing what? That's their dry humor. Are you new to reading The Reg? Or the British press in general?

The rest of the article explains in detail all the ways they're being forced to curtail what they've been doing.
Owning an EV without the ability to charge at home is a pain in the ass. A lot of multi-family infrastructure has to evolve before that becomes a reality.

Being able to charge at home, though, is far more convenient and cost effective than visiting the pump every few days. Full "tank" every morning.
My point is that I just find it fascinating to still care.

There will never be a resolution to that treatment in 2020 and 2021. How is that a part of anyone’s identity, still?

I like irony too, we can all see the irony. But it was only interesting irony in 2021, not two years later
I’ve made many a trip to the git repo to dig up older versions and copy down the old version ebuilds into my own overlay: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo
Generally my view is that if we change the way IP works, the world would adapt just fine. Instead of large centralized services we might see smaller federated services. For example something like stack overflow could be hosted on an activity-pub based federated system. The way the fediverse currently works is that a large number of enthusiasts support their little corner of the fediverse with server expenses probably in the hundreds of dollars per year. So instead of one big site with hundreds of thousands of dollars in server costs per year you would have thousands of federated servers with costs in the hundreds of dollars per year. What’s great is that as the user base grows so can the number of servers and the number of enthusiast server operators interested in running their own server.

We might also see people start to break down barriers to server costs, for example by lobbying for legal rights to serve content from home with no ISP restrictions related to servers on home internet service. A big company like stack overflow can simply spare the cost of a dedicated business line but thousands of home users might really want to serve content from home.

My point is that when you really think it through, you realize that people will find ways to share the information they want. What’s also cool is that for things like the fediverse there generally are no ads. That’s something big central services fail at.

And then there’s sites like Wikipedia. I guess I don’t know their license but they simply ask people for what amounts to over a hundred million dollars a year in donations and they get it. So centralized models can work on pure donations if they are appreciated by a large number of users.

> Can someone expand on exactly what is meant by "model LOD" in this context?

Back in the day, games just had one version of each model, that gets loaded or not.

Nowadays, games with lots of models and huge amount of detail lets each model have multiple different versions, with their own LOD (Level of Detail).

So if you see a tree from far away, it might be 20 vertices because you're far away from it so you wouldn't see the details anyways. But if you're right next to it, it might have 20,000 vertices instead.

It's an optimization technique to not send too much geometry to the GPU.
Do you think that there are an infinite number of people that want to live in any particular city?
This is not about performance but I find the example to have unrealistic design.

The 'city' in the article has population of 1000. That would be village where I live - but it is drown in pretty wide roads and huge amount of parking places.

The market fails to move people efficiently around a big urban clustering. Hence: Public Transport.

As it is apparent worldwide - at least in the West - the market is also failing to house people efficiently and effectively. Hence: Public Housing.

>Rice washing is a fairly common practice in cultures that cook rice.

In the US at least, many brands spray additional vitamins and minerals to increase the nutritional value of rice, and specifically state not to wash the rice right on the packaging.

Because of this, there seems to be a pretty wide split on cultural lines on whether one should wash their rice, especially online.
Web developers live in the web, but we still need to interface with VMs over SSH. Bridging that gap in favor of the developer is genius. The multiplayer aspect, the shell one-liner to bootstrap the whole process, everything about this is great.

If I visit your house and you have a Kindle with pirated books, am I liable? Or just you for doing the actual pirating and downloading them?

Are AI companies except from the restrictions of accessing copyrighted material they legally are restricted from?

Serious question.

I remember an article recently about someone suing an AI company claiming that they must have illegally accessed material, but I can't find it now to know how it turned out.
> Police officers and firefighters need to live close to where they work. And, should be able to afford public transport, therefore: Public Housing.

This does not follow. You could make it an argument that essential services should be paid enough to live close to work, which would satisfy the criteria that you've laid out.

The most you can conclude from what you've laid out is that something is wrong with the current system. Which, I think very few people would disagree with.
Not only does the article cover this, there's links to further coverage about Meta's involvement in the "more context" section.
The central hypothesis is that developers are not writing tests since they prefer bugs popping up on production instead of during development, and it seems quite absurd. I've been in many dev teams in many companies, but haven't seen incentives to be that much messed up.

One reason this doesn't make much sense is that this requires hoping that the bugs pass QA. If QA finds those bugs, sends them back to dev, then they still have to fix that + very significant time overhead of this round trip which doesn't make it "worth it".
It's not clear that network neutrality wouldn't be much more of an issue if government and citizens hadn't shown some degree of will to protect it in name or nature since the inception of the internet. The counterargument sounds a bit like a diabetic dismissing the importance of insulin.

> I’d much prefer an ISP customer bill of rights

This relies on a wholly imaginary choice between net neutrality and the the rights you would prefer. It's not dissimilar to the argument that is made in response to gun violence for instance. For instance "I'd much prefer we focused on the root cause of mental health than potentially infringing on the rights of honest gun owners."

In fact mental health is an important issue but there is no particular reason to believe that a government with a budget in the trillions can't do you know TWO THINGS.
I think it's a good thing in the long run, one more reason to switch away from Unity to add to the ever growing pile.
It's silly how some people believe in infinite power of "The State". Government can't just will new housing into existence just by passing a bill. Housing costs money. And when I say "money" I really mean "raw materials" and "human labor" and "time". If a city is desirable place to live, with a lot of people coming in then the housing will be expensive. You cannot really work around supply/demand here. Protesting against high rents is like protesting against bad weather - what do you expect your government to do?
Like the army. It’s funny how military institutions with virtually unlimited funds are basically socialist institutions. They provide health, housing, stable employment and early retirement. What many dream of - minus the being in the army bit.

> unfairly links SBF

This is some grade A No True Scotsmaning.

Sam Bankman-Fried was about as high profile an EA as ever existed, with his personal wealth counted as the bulk of their finances, his FTX Future Fund employing both Nick Beckstead and his old friend William Macaskill, and his political action committee throwing money around Washington to promote crypto and longtermism.

Macaskill himself is probably the most famous EA of them all and was in lockstep with SBF for years, dismissing claims of unethical behavior, vouching for him and hooking him up with other rich people like Elon Musk cashing his checks for the charities he controlled, and of course enjoying the finer things in life that FTX could buy without either of these famously ascetic utilitarians could ever imagine doing for themselves.

I'm still not sure what from my original statement won't happen.
Even on a nuclear submarine, there is a ton of stuff that isn’t “the reactor and propulsion system”, and there are a lot of activities that must be managed, starting with extremely basic things like “Do we have sufficient food and water?”
I'm not sure that's super relevant.

Firstly, just because they can use Unreal doesnt mean that it isn't causing problems, even you state that they are using it juat for their graphics which inplies challenges.

It's a completely different game by a completely different team. And it doesn't appear to be released yet. So it seems very premature to be judging it based on runtime performance..

Now, personally, I would choose yo build an RTS l/Builder in Unreal over Unity over time. But that's almost entirely due to my experience with Unity the company and their antagonistic incentives towards their developers, and the ease in which it is to get source access and little to do with technical engine fit. Honestly, in my professional opinion, the design of Unity is more flexible in this regard, and I'd consider it a reasonable decision to try to use Unity from a technical engine design POV.

A long history of blood, lawsuits, and regulations.

Preventing a building from collapsing is done ahead of time, because buildings have previously collapsed, and cost a lot of lives / money etc.
Can't we say, with nearly as much accuracy, that this life is an epilogue to eternity?
Can I still not write tests because I don't know how or because I simply don't want to and put the "fucked up" pin on someone else ?
If your class needs lots of mocks to be tested it may be a sign that there is too much abstraction/complexity.

You should prefer to instantiate your class with real objects, if you can’t do that then use fakes, as a very last resort you can use a mock but at that point your test is probably useless.

(The exception) If you have an class that is a wrapper around some HTTP requests, then it is fine to mock these HTTP calls. If you have a test that depends on this class, then you can use either mock these calls again, or upgrade to a fake if the mocking is too complex.
Ok, hear me out. What if for business stuff and basically everything we need to do with scheduling etc. why don’t we use Unix time, and why don’t we let everyone else have whatever religious calendar they want?
Some level of scepticism is certainly warranted. OTOH it is possible to create reliable safety critical software, it's just very time consuming and expensive. For instance, many (most?) modern passenger aircraft are fly by wire, with no mechanical nor hydraulical connection between the cockpit controls and the flight control surfaces.
Impressive. Even my CSS-based obfuscation[1] is no match for ChatGPT. Though it is funny trying to get it to explain how it was able to deobfuscate the email address. It works only if I give it the full HTML of my website and I think it is able to do so from the context in the website which is fairly impressive. Would be more impressed if it was able to explain how it figured it out though.

Heavy clouds often do cover multiple states (or European countries) simultaneously. But the bigger problem for places like the UK and the USA is that the major grid interconnects run East so when peak daily demand hits it's already getting dark in the places from which they can easily import electricity.
I doubt that the state will be more efficient in building houses than private enterprises can if allowed to do so. If they are not being built and added on marked, the effective price will only crawl up.

In case if Zurich, I imagine that supply is limited due to its geography as well, and of course by wanting to preserve the quality of life.

I loved every bit of this post, especially the final few sentences. Thank you.
I recently installed Gentoo for the first time and I like it too. The installation process may be long but I think that's actually a strength if you're part of the target audience. The handbook is not just an installation guide but also an effective introduction to how Gentoo works and it just feels a bit more transparent to use.
It has or will have twelve dozen DLCs or more, so it's a Paradox game.
I'm generally pro-union, but I can't see the connection here. Can you expand on this?
This is were good tech leadership matters. Leadership must push back on product to make room too build out test infrastructure. Otherwise you'll see individual engineers who do the right thing get punished for it because get aren't delivering tickets.
Okay for real, who decided this game could be have the acronym CS? Counterstrike has been one of the most played games since 2000. I don’t even play Counterstrike but it has a huge player base compared to this game. And didn’t Counterstrike 2 literally come out a few weeks ago?
It's always been like this. Long before streamers got involved. Video game magazines (the paper ones...remember those?) had the same exact process for reviews. Game publishers expected certain things in return for access to future game releases and most video game magazines cooperated.

Every two years or so there was a scandal about either reviewers calling out a game publisher about the bullshit, or a widespread backlash against obviously lacking reviews.
Same.

I have a M2 Max and GFN is much much easier than trying to set something up with GPT (Game Porting Toolkit) and Whisky, and much faster & quieter too. An RTX 4080 running in their data center means no local heat and noise.
People in ancient Pompeii didn't either. They bought bread from bakers, or paid for time in public ovens, and bought premade food from pubs or other vendors. Preserved homes very clearly did not typically have the means to prepare food.

It's a statement kind of like insisting that everyone should know how to farm or do animal husbandry, when those were specialist jobs (sometimes serfs' jobs...) since time immemorial. Humans built cities millennia ago and lived in semi-specialized social groups before that.

The outmoded self-sufficiency obsession is very culturally American, due to its relatively recent status as a more or less agrarian colony.

What kind of policies you believe would affect rents in the short to medium term? Progressive cities have tried all kinds of things, with little in terms of results.
>And when I say "money" I really mean "raw materials" and "human labor" and "time".

Biggest pain point in housing is the limited amounts of land and living space, not the building cost.

> what do you expect your government to do?

There are tonnes of things governments can do:

1. build more dense public housing

2. ban Airbnbs

3. ban private equity from turning the housing market in their private casino table

4. tax the hell out of empty apartments and poorly utilized land that's not for living or relevant economic productivity

5. incentivize remote work for white collar jobs so they don't all have to live in X city just to do things that could be done from anywhere else

So what? government just orders lower rents for current renters? That might work short term, but in the longer one it will simply destroy the local property market. No one will be willing to build housing anymore, as it won't be profitable. The city will slowly gentrify and die.
If the Swiss can build train tunnels through mountains on schedule, I’m fairly certain they can build some more apartments in Zurich.
which is exactly the same wuth sponsorblock.
In Berlin you'd get hundreds of applicants, and when you go show up to check out the apartment there will be 50+ people waiting in line scheduled at the same time you were.

Germany's rental market is absolutely insane.

Speaking as someone that maintains some old and dropped shit in my own overlay and GURU ( https://cgit.gentoo.org/repo/proj/guru.git ), the web archive and Gentoo's own git history are where I usually find old ebuilds. They are of limited use, too old and it's ancient EAPI where ebuild style used to be more complicated, most of the time it just makes sense to rewrite the ebuild in EAPI 8 if needed. The main things I'm looking for are the notes and stuff like custom initscripts that might have been written.

If a dropped package is of interest and there's a reason it shouldn't be in the tree I usually submit it to GURU. If I use it and it probably should be saved or re-added to the tree I proxy maintain it.
> I don't buy that excuse.

This means you are, sadly, very uninformed. There is a lot of rolling with the punches in the games industry, and many engineers want to optimize things more, and work OT to do so (as there is an extreme shortage of time to do this in AAA space on company time).
Or there is not enough housing driving prices up (which then makes everything more expensive)
Early Access is a "punishment" purely because game devs and publishers use it as an excuse to sell incomplete, broken products.

The terrible reputation is self-inflicted and deserved.
My login don't work either. I looked around in KonsoleH and other panels from the Hetzner.com website, and there is no reference to a link like the one in the Reddit post.
Yeah, tough luck. Pretty much none of the companies that showed up first in the tech industry are still amongst the top 5-10 players today.

On the contrary, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, WhatsApp, Skype, Netflix and pretty much every single tech giant that enjoys a quasi monopoly over their market today, they all arrived pretty late. Not second to market, mind you. Waay late.
I say they are complexity because first there are a lot of ways to configure nvim by using any of the distros and starting kits and then they are slightly incompatible and use different versions of package managers, fuzzy finders, autocompleters etc. I agree most need not be in core, but it would be better to have fewer plugins doing more or less the same thing and having to find the ones that are less buggy and are being maintained. To be fair this was an issue with vim too, it's not nvim specific.
Does the game have a campaign mode yet? I'm desperate. I loved C:S 1 for a few hours and then had nothing to do. Just need some kind of challenge mode and I'd be hooked for life.

You don’t want the state as your landlord. The government is an elephant graveyard for talent.

In Denmark, the co-operative movement led unions to construct housing for their members. With the fall of unions, the housing organisations that remain now provide thousands of low-cost homes: they weren’t built for profit.

Co-operative housing still gets built at scale in Denmark, but rarely in the big cities; the private companies will outbid them because there is always a willing renter for luxury apartments.

I protested the capital city rent increase by moving out. I understand why students can’t.
