The mistakes game movies make is they try to make the movie look too much like the game as if it will please gamers. The movie has to be in the spirit of the game but not too literally. Example is that showing Mario jumping and hitting bricks in real life is just stupid. Or street fighter movie emulating a side view fight is just gonna make it tacky. Doom the movie has these dumb ass fps screens.

I think that it is the best model, but it does require trading some safety for privacy.

The argument goes that police and investigators could intervene faster and stop more criminals if they were not encumbered by probable cause.

Hence, privacy and safety are a tradeoff.

I think you’re missing the shear size of the thing (much larger than any IMAX—this is an 18,000 person venue vs ~500 for the largest IMAX), clarity of the interior dome (yes, it’s like IMAX), brightness of the interior dome (it’s a super bright LED screen and provides all lighting in the venue—not projection), and audio (hearing is believing—the “beam forming” tech has the presence of an arena show without the ear fatigue and can also feel intimate almost like an acoustic cafe show).

The screen to some extent will be dependent on content produced for it (some very cool optical illusions are possible with a spherical screen), but I hope the audio tech will make its way into most large music venues over the next few decades—it’s just that good.

Two dozen programming languages shipped in or not, almost no languages support this.

It is something that you start appreciating a lot more once you have used it significantly. It helps a lot with writing more self-documenting interfaces that are legible at a glance.

Another detail I did not mention is that _public names are part of the interface_. This means that two functions that differ only in the public names are distinct overloads.

To give an extremely simple example (taken from Apple's docs):

class Counter {

var count = 0

func increment() {
count += 1
}

func increment(by amount: Int) {
count += amount
}
...

}

This starts becoming even more valuable when you have more complex objects, and allows you to move (e.g. on some kind of repository class) mangling of overload names into more readable named argument overloads.
We write wrappers for standard and third-party libraries that throw errors. For example, we have our own dump_json function that catches-and-returns errors thrown by json.dumps.

We didn't need many wrappers given the nature of our SDK, but some programs will need many wrappers and that could get unwieldy
The first time I saw this trick was with ProDOS on the Apple ][, circa 1983.

ProDOS came up with this new call syntax where the parameters to the API follow the call to it.

For example:

ldx #$00
ldy #$10
sty params+4
stx params+5 ; setup number of bytes to read (16)
jsr $BF00 ; call ProDOS
.BYTE $CA ; ProDOS command number = CA (read)
.WORD params ; address of parameter table, lo/hi
bcs error ; carry set, error
.
.

params .BYTE $04 ; number of parameters for a read
.BYTE $00 ; file reference number, 0, 1, 2 in MacQForth
.WORD BUFFER ; pointer to data buffer
.WORD $0000 ; requested number of bytes to read, fill in
.WORD $0000 ; number actually read, returned by ProDOS
why not simply let trees do it?

maybe trees aren't as cool as whatever they're doing???

Is there a specific political action group or organization behind the pressure Omegle received that isn’t being called out?

No offense, but you’ve just distilled the blindspot behind a lot of social startup ideas. Good communities are not a product of technology or data.

Technology and data facilitate different cost and scaling opportunities, but are just the bones upon which a community might be built.

This community is good because of excellent human involvement through dang (and others at YC) and through the luck of having the right, responsible users around so far. There’s no recreating it.

Sometimes, you just have to enjoy things while they exist and then let go of them once they don’t.

You want types in a public API to be explicit, so you don't break it by accident.
> Rust returns returns errors using a "wrapper" type called Result. A Result contains both a non-error value (Ok) and an error value (Err)

A `Result` can contain either a non-error value (Result::Ok) or and error value (Result::Err), never both.

Don't worry, existing entrenched tech giants will kill this idea before it could take root: this week Facebook started offering a subscription in the EU instead of using your data for ads. They however ask for 10 EUR (and 5000 HUF in Hungary which is 13 EUR) which is far , far more than what anyone sane wants to pay for FB. So they can go back to the regulators and say, see, no one wants to pay for this.
You can't book an event of any decent size in the USA without it being a required Ticketmaster venue, so unfortunately if you want to see any reasonably popular artist or a show at a big venue they are your only option.
I don't think it's a surprise to anyone involved. The US have guaranteed danish security since ww2.

I also think that there have not been any better options. Any other options have been traditional enemies.
> What you say is true

It's probably not. Regional draught conditions over multiple years is a common thing. The USA had very hot temperatures for a decade in the 1930s for instance and this is just 1 of many examples.

Climate change isn't really a local thing like this is. The region has had multi-year droughts many times in the past and will have them in the future too. Climate change could make them more extreme, to be sure.

But claiming that this is from climate change just does more to discredit it, and more-so the people who are climate doomers, than anything.
3D Movies Appear in Apple TV App Ahead of Vision Pro Launch
Great news and it's evident why the stock went up after the announcement.

Nintendo's IP has both great quality and quantity. They have only scratched the surface of what they could do with it with the recent SMB movie.

Remember the story that Nintendo used to be a trading card company? Are they now a video game company as it says on Wikipedia? What is the full name of the NES? Nintendo is an entertainment company. With some well-executed strategy, I can totally see Nintendo becoming a Disney-like behemoth in the not so distant future.

Just imagine something like a Nintendo+ service full with movies and tv shows from their universe. "Hurr durr, but they've done lame stuff in the past ..." Yes ... and? They have all the cash in the world to produce great content and they definitely know how to make fun stuff as well. They can pull it off and I'll glady pay for that!
That's not quite accurate about Reddit. It only made it through by purging dozens to hundreds of the more controversial NSFW subreddits. Most were justified, but they definitely bent to advertisers and PR like anyone else.

- Any expression that may likely include a user-generated variable should have a strategy for how to inject it safely. To avoid sql injection class of attacks. Native templating is the best. If string templating is the only way out, the rules for escaping should be clearly defined and ideally functions for doing so provided by the reference implementation.

Not like the geniuses at Atlassian who came up with JQL that refuse to document how it works, instead delegates all security to the user model and “don’t run queries with any data that you didn’t provide yourself”.

Their data source suggests that rooftop solar, onshore and offshore wind and nuclear are basically tied on that metric so not sure what problem you're seeing?

They're pretty essential for any situation where you can't just stop down the exposure in the camera.

Oh sweet summer child.
Realistically, all the other fundamental problems of blimps will limit before the helium supply does — remember that it was artificially crippled by the selloff of the US's strategic helium reserve; it was sold under market value and so all the natural gas producers who could have trapped and sold off their helium production just gave up on doing so. Supply will stabilize again after the last of the reserve is sold off this month.

I don't quite understand the words you're using in your "the logic is as follows" list. (What are "gaps that otherwise invalidates math and disqualifies observed measures"? Really, what are "observed measures"? What does it mean to "performed qualified measures"? etc.)

To a substantial extent, it kinda feels like what you're describing is literally the scientific method. We discover observations that are inconsistent with existing models, so we develop a new model that (within their realm of validity) correctly match the data, and when we continue to find that the new model successfully describes new observations our confidence in the model goes up (and eventually rises to the level of saying "this seems to be a correct description of reality").

Maybe if I understood the exact meaning of your words here, I'd understand how what you're talking about differs from that and what your concerns are. But as I've said elsewhere, I really don't see where this is a "confidence problem", and I've never had reason to believe that alternatives are "censored to hell". There are people who've built entire careers publishing papers studying MOND, after all. It just doesn't seem to work as well as dark matter (Lambda-CDM) to explain the copious data that we now have.

And I'll definitely push back (again) against calling the case for dark matter "an observational limitation". These are quantitative, positive observations that demand some model to explain them. The specific quantitative amounts and distributions of dark matter necessary to explain galaxy rotation curves also turned out to be the same specific details necessary to explain gravitational lensing observations. As new observations have come in over the years, the case for dark matter has gotten stronger. (That's why it's become a dominant belief among experts.) So I genuinely don't have any idea what you're getting at with those comments.
Having finally gotten over the whole 2->3 fiasco I'm still sitting out new Python development until the PyPA sorts out the new packaging & distribution story. They're working on it and making progress, but it's still pretty gnarly.

Anyway, the complexity is too damn high!

Good they are finally starting this. Ever since I heard that this won't work cause it's too small, I started thinking that this will be what saves us after we go way over the edge as humanity. Hopefully I am wrong, but if not then hopefully at least we see many more of these to try and save ourselves at the 11th hour.

There are some areas that have specific carve-outs to limit liability for inherently risky activities. For example agri-tourism in Oregon. If someone gets hurt or even killed on a hayride at a farm (eg), the farmer is not liable (with some exceptions). Hence when we go to a u-cut Christmas tree farm, they hand us and our kids saws, let us hop on a tractor trailer with them, and go chop a tree without signing anything.

Hasbro avoided this mistake by basing their movie on Dungeons and Dragons, where anything can happen. I think they actually had the best movie of 2023. Mission Impossible 7 had better stunts, but DnD had a better story, better acting, and superbly-executed comedic timing. I was not a Hugh Grant fan before this movie, but now I am.
That will require a fixup or a fixed load address. The example in the article is position independent.
Yes, but for better or worse, we have lots of natural gas producers, and they'll be in business for a long time. And once the selloff of the US's strategic helium reserve is done with and prices stabilize, more natural gas producers will actually bother to capture their helium.

They seem to be relying heavily on the fact that Avi Arad is involved. Just take a glance at his IMDB, his role as producer seems to have very little bearing on the quality of a movie. Yeah, he worked on Spiderverse. He's also worked on Fantastic Four (2005), Elektra, Hulk, The Amazing Spider Man, Morbius. I picked out the bad ones, but the point his, he's worked on a lot of stuff, plenty of it is trash.

Stripe has been on this trajectory for many, many, years. Unfortunately, I have an entire side-business of migrating companies off Stripe because eventually the "developer-friendliness" of it wears off the company is left with the "business-unfriendliness".

This trajectory will not stop, so it's probably best to figure out a solution if it's already this dire after just over a year with Stripe.

I suppose I wasn't clear, but we don't typically help with the first tech hires, since I haven't figured out how to do it in a scalable manner. I also believe that very few external recruiters can help here, since most don't have the tech skills required.

Yeah in order to make a difference we'll have to flatten an entire continent and litter it with such plants. Plus their renewable energy sources. Not to mention the cost and energy usage of manufacturing and maintaining it all. Plus the environmental impact of all those sites in other ways than just CO2.

There's just no point. It's a pipe dream for those who are still looking to continue business as usual.

Until we really have Terawatts of basically free renewable energy to spend and we're already CO2 neutral globally, it's way more efficient to just not emit the CO2 in the first place.

I think it's good they keep a finger on this tech and experiment with it but I don't view it as something even remotely useful to bring CO2 levels down. First we need to stop emitting.
Why does the author want to swallow these exceptions? Let them propagate and it's obvious where the issue lies. If you can't handle an exception, don't catch it.

> It's impossible to know which line might throw an error without reading the functions themselves... and the functions those functions call... and the functions those functions call. Some thorough engineers may document thrown errors but documentation is untested and therefore untrustworthy. Java is a little better because it forces you to declare uncaught errors in method signatures.

The author's proposal doesn't change this as much as they think it does. You still don't know what type of errors a function will throw without inspecting the code and thus how to resolve them. Unless, you have a blanket switch for every possible error anything could return which is the very thing they are complaining about.
I don't have and have never wanted children, so you are correct that it is not my personal belief. Yes, it's a question of the social status afforded to certain professions. The ones that actually build and maintain a functioning society seem low on that hierarchy. I'm willing to bet that the lawyers litigating whether or not a nuclear power plant will be built have have a higher income than the people who build it.
