I realize this, I was just saying the "good" also seemed just as bad as the bad. Specifically to cause that seemed opportunistic and fear based driven.
This is what I told a commenter.

But I don't even want to deal with those macros, just a nearly zero straight copy/paste. The preprocessor scares me, because once some devs starts to use it, many will want to push to max its usage everywhere and in the end, your code path is actually tied to the preprocessor, and sometimes with actually a whole new assembly language defined with the preprocessor, and if it is complex, the "exit cost" from it will sky rocket.

For instance fasmg has an extremely powerful macro preprocessor, because this preprocessor is actually what's used to write assemblers. Due to the tendency of devs to maximize the usage of their SDK tools, some code paths actually end up with little assembly and a lot of macros! Then you must embrace that new language as a whole, like the opacity of the "object oriented model" of some big c++ projects BEFORE actually being able to do anything real for this very project.

Personnally, I use a "normal" C preprocessor to define a minimal layer for a intel syntax assembler, which allows me to assemble with fasmg, gas and nasm/yasm. And I am very careful at assembling all the time with all assemblers.

I do the same with C using cproc/qbe, tinycc, gcc, and I plan to add simple-cc/qbe. I actually do compile up to 1.1 times... the 0.1 accounting for cproc/qbe + tinycc and gcc get the rest.

My guess is you wouldn't lower it by much because there's more incentives for attackers than for defenders to invest in these approaches, so it's likely that by the time grandmas are running LLM-based anti-fraud tooling the attackers will already be running LLM-based attacks as well.
> Politics is just a different word for interests, relationships and motivation

That's not true. Politics is the distribution of power; to politicize something is to turn it into a power struggle. People have lots of interests, relationships, and motivations sans power struggles.
Google Scraps $15B Deal with Developer of Silicon Valley Campus Projects
I remember my very first day of studying engineering, the professor said: "Do you know the difference between an engineer and a doctor? When a doctor messes up, people die. When an engineer messes up LOTS of people die."
This is rarely developers' fault. You can bet they wanted to deliver the best product possible, but were not given the time needed to do that by upper management.
If a lack of capital investment (or skilled companies) is the problem, that’s a great solution.

But that’s not the reason for expensive rents in big cities.

It’s because many (rich) people want to live there … and due to physical and regulatory limits you can’t build more housing, even for piles of money it would be worth.
The answer to why people wouldn't accept your proposal is simple: that is part of the job that we pay the police to do, and they aren't paying us to do that part of their job.

You keep falling back to the excuse 'well, the police won't do their job'. If that's the case, that's the root cause of the lack of enforcement, and we need to address it. Who knows what other crimes they won't feel like investigating tomorrow? Domestic violence? Murder? Obviously we can't leave such discretion in their hands, rather than the hands of the people.

The excuses about police workload always inspire skepticism given their petulant tantrums and refusals to do their job in retaliation for being criticized for their wrongdoing.

Honestly, though, I'm just not convinced they're using the available person hours and budget in the most optimal way to achieve what the people want. If the police feel like they truly do need more people to do their job, however: like I said, they can submit themselves to civilian review to determine if they're meeting enough civilian goals to justify increased budget.

He was happy about it -- until he found out that the NYT was going to doxx him and publish his name, which would've likely had highly negative effects for himself and his psychiatric patients.

Apple Argued Safari Is Three Different Browsers to Avoid Regulation
The US is 9,833,520 km2 much of it sparsely populated. Not only is it inherently difficult its impossible to resolve in any reasonable duration of time. If we wanted to drive a bit more competition there was a law many years ago forcing ISP to share their lines with the competition at cost. This is actually practical and able to be implemented in the short term. Another thing we can do is repeal all the local laws restricting municipal broadband.
Because it is one of the 1,000,000 things to pay attention to in game development. Someone or some software probably just made a mistake in setting up its LOD. Or some dynamic LODding code didn't properly cull the LOD0 mesh. Or that code couldn't be finished in time. Or it was something else.

It's completely normal in AAA games to have a few imperfect and in-optimal things. Budgets are always limiting, and development times short. Plus, it's a hit-driven industry where payoff is not guaranteed. There are some things you can do (which are usually management-related and not dev-related) to make the game a success, but estimated bookings are rarely on-point. So trade-offs have to be made to de-risk - corners cut where possible, the most expensive part - development - de-prioritized. These are much bigger trade-offs than a single mesh being unoptimized. A single mesh is nothing.

It's a fun fact that this mesh is LOD0, and so is the teeth mesh. But that alone doesn't tank the performance of the game and is probably unlikely to be addressed in lieu of actual performance fixes. The fixation on these meshes in the thread is kind of excessive.

A lot of these comments are quite galvanized so I don't want to add to that - just giving more context.
> I doubt that the state will be more efficient in building houses than private enterprises can if allowed to do so

Depends. If the profit is in more expensive housing, than private enterprise will bias towards that and ergo be less efficient at building lower-margin "affordable" housing.

Ideally, in a perfect frictionless economy populated by spherical cows, yes, private enterprise will more efficiently allocate across the entire spectrum of market needs -- so in principle, I'm agreeing with you.

But spherical cows make lousy roommates.
They at least tried, but also it was abbolished bc it was unconstitutional. So the current market is not bc of it.
As someone who played a lot of CiM, CiM2 and C:S: they’re not as similar as you might expect.

The CiM games were all about public transit, cars played a supporting role at best. IMHO, they’re the best transit games ever made.

In C:S, it’s the other way around: managing car traffic is imperative (to the point that many recommend micromanaging intersections with mods such as TM:PE), and transit takes the supporting role (although it’s still a lot of fun).
There are two kinds of developers:

A - puts a brand new project on CV and moves on before go-live.

B - stays behind to handle going-live issues and maintain.

Guess which kind sees pay growth and promotions?
Great. Now how do I call this API from WASM without any intervening JavaScript?
Yeah, the user-hostile DRM stuff was really just the icing on the cake. people regularly tolerate all that same stuff when the game is actually good. but when the game is shit, it makes it really easy to take a pricipled stance that you're boycotting the game because of DRM.
It’s either more time or less features. Less testing is non-negotiable.
Even as someone who is very much “over it all”, I’d argue it depends very much on your individual risk profile.

> A humans awareness is not constant. It waxes and wanes, even more so with cellphones in hand.

And even with supposedly* perfectly consistent awareness, the automation still failed catastrophically.

> The status quo is indefensible so setting up moving unknowable goal posts for something to replace them doesn’t make sense to me.

AVs are not better than the status quo, making them even less defensible. A human would not have drug that poor women for 20 feet because it was compelled to execute a pull-over maneuver. Even an OCD psychopath knows better.

* None of these things run actual realtime operating systems with fixed, predictable deadlines. Compute requirements can vary wildly depending on the circumstance. When compute spikes, consistency drops. A robot can only way approximate constant awareness by massively undersubcribing the compute budget.

Why hasn't Zurich (or more like it's Canton's govt) expanded suburbs into the farmland surrounding it? For the size of city, it is quite small. And the southern portion towards Egg seems pretty flat and easy to build. Even with suburbs that have a fraction of the density that Zurich has, it would probably alleviate population pressures. I'm assuming local politics?

Actually, how is local politics (sub-canton level) organized in CH?
Cities Skylines, somewhat infamously, only allows American city designs to work. If you want to build something European, you can't.
Given that a number of other Unity-based games have had the same or similar performance issues, including KSP1, the Endless games, and others, it seems the problem is very much that Cities Skylines 2 is hitting up against the performance limits that the Unity engine is capable of without custom modifications to the engine-layer codebase.
I understand. I swear, however: It is surprisingly easy, it is literally surprising to learn how easy it is to stop transmission.

It’s essentially this:

People breathe it out. Don’t breathe it in. We have filtration materials that strip it out of the air.

It has been easy to avoid infection. I have found it easy. Mechanically speaking.

Socially, it has been difficult. Because of severe failures of judgement made by people in positions of responsibility in public health organizations. Because of obviously incorrect guidance.

I am aware that this is an extraordinarily tall claim. I ask to be forgiven, ask for your consideration, promise that I am in good faith and under a moral obligation to point to this. Here’s one reference for it out of many available:

That's so difficult for humans and tools to reason about. It would completely break intellisense and lots of lint rules. What's the reason for this?
All you need are business/personal incentives. One extreme example of this is SEZs, Special Economic Zones. You set up a legal structure for region within your territory to be able to offer the sort of benefits one would normally have to seek out tax havens and legal loopholes to achieve. This motivates development and growth in these regions, which drives opportunity and expansion.

The Shenzhen SEZ is one extremely successful example. [1] It was established as an SEZ in 1980 when it had fewer than 30k workers. By 2000 it had a labor force over 3 million. The current population (which is predictable difficult to measure given a massive migrant population) may be as high as 14 million.

> A plot of land might have taxes of $1,000/yr. It looks like TIPs give a fixed real rate of 1.3%. So, $77k in TIPS will balance out your taxes.

This math is wrong because you have to pay tax on the income from TIPS (unless you are low income enough that you net tax rate is 0%).

The real problem with that idea is that one's living expenses are almost certainly going to be more than $1000/year, even if you are able to grow enough calories and generate enough watts to be self sufficient.

In order to live off interest alone, you'd probably need $1M in assets or more. At that point, you could just live off the principle.

This is absolutely it. I've worked on multiple projects simultaneously where I wrote great tests on one project and few to no tests on the other. It wasn't the developer that changed, it was that one codebase was designed with testing in mind, while the other was not and was therefore extremely cumbersome to write tests for. That also meant that in the second codebase whole UI flows had no tests, so if I made one tweak to the UI flow I wasn't going to spend a week figuring out how to test it and everything around it.

Which government policies exactly would you suggest that don't involve building more houses or convincing people to move elsewhere?

Remember, this is Switzerland, so you need to convince the population that this is a good idea otherwise they will block it with a popular vote. So confiscation of property or forced labour or increased taxes are all out of the question.

It's honestly a bit insane.

Just the other night I wanted to know what it'd take to do some AR development for the Quest 3 using Unity. 10 minutes in I was straight up confused. There's AR Foundation, AR Core, AR Kit, and I think at least one other thing. I have no idea the difference between those, if they're even wholly separate. That's on top of using either the OpenXR or Unity plugin for the actual headset.
Most of the revenue comes in after, long after release. So it now makes sense to release an unfinished game and use the revenue to pay for the improvements.

I would add that is far better and easier to season, almost as easy to maintain, and much less cantankerous.

fdupes is really nice and fast, but (as far as I remember) it was lacking two features that I needed for my use case, which were 1°/ list duplicate dirs (without listing all of the duplicate sub-contents), and 2°/ being able to identify that all the contents in one dir would be included in another part of the FS (regardless of files/dir structures), which is particularly useful when you have a bigmess/ directory that you progressively sort-out in a clean/ directory. Said differently : fdupes helps to regain space but was not able to help me much to reorganize a messy drive...

This is why I wrote https://github.com/karteum/kindfs (which indexes the fs into an sqlite DB and then enables various ways to process it).

This is great news. Dengue was a constant problem in my home country of Malaysia, and remains a problem to this day. I still remember all the public education campaigns about it that I saw when I was young (random ads on TV about making sure there's no stagnant water, seeking medical help if you notice <symptoms>, etc), I'm very glad that there are easily implementable solutions to these problems.

As a side note, I wonder why this kind of research is not more popular in university labs of tropical countries. Malaysia, Singapore, India, etc are home to plenty of university labs that should have the expertise and motivation to do this kind of thing, but they're really dropping the ball if they're not working on it right now. Every time I read about new mosquito fighting innovations it's out of an American or European lab, far away from where it's most impactful.

Is it a problem of funding? Somehow the Malaysian government funds less mosquito disease research than the US? Political will? I would hope that the health ministries of tropical countries are willing to throw some money at the problem. Institutional knowledge? Plenty of the professors are educated in Australia/UK/US, so that can't be it. Coverage? Western media covers western labs, and don't notice when labs elsewhere do the same thing?

Marginally and variable costs it does though. A 100% capacity charging station has few variable costs compared to gasoline delivery; the grid interconnect and charging cables are equivalent to filler and tank safety inspection, not daily or weekly deliveries of fuel by pipeline + truck.
Maybe it's not a big deal, but it seemed weird to me that this article didn't mention that the cleanup satellite would need to burn fuel for propulsion to drag things around. The way it was written seemed to violate conservation of energy: you zap a junk satellite with this magic beam, and it starts moving without having any effect on the cleanup satellite.

You would of course need fuel to propel both satellites together into the disposal orbit, and then more fuel if you want to come back for another load. (Ok, maybe not fuel, if this is slow enough that solar power would be enough. But you'd still need reaction mass of some sort.)
