The unfortunate truth of a lot of weapon bans is that they happen when civilian anger or fear outstrips military need, and are therefore less likely to be argued for. No army really argues for hollowpoints nowadays, because of their terrible penetration. When a "banned" weapon suddenly finds a use, countries will ignore regulations or were never privy to them in the first place. Such as Ukraine finding extensive use of cluster weapons to counter Russian assault infantry.

Chemical and biological weapons fit the first category, since they're almost useless in a military context since they're incredibly difficult to control or incubate, and end up being mostly terror weapons. It's why bans of them are far more complete, whereas nuclear disarmament is practically a nonstarter.

AI and especially AI weapons seem like the second category. Where many will call for a ban, but many will ignore it because they provide such an advantage to the workforce or on the battlefield.
I'll give it another shot then, thank you for mentioning that.
Working continuous overtime is one of the worst diseases you can inflict upon your company.

1. By making changes outside of work hours (comitting code as a software dev), you're upsetting your teammates understanding of the state of the project. Ever had on-call push a 200+ LOC change after hours to hot-fix a bug, then had to have a two hour meeting next morning to figure out what changed and how to re-do the fix properly? When you make changes outside of hours, you put your teammates into that position every time.

2. You upset your teams and your companies understanding of their capacity. Because you are not beholdent to work overtime by the contract, if you decide to take a break from overtime for whatever reason, projects will start slipping with no perceptible root-cause. This is a really bad spot to put your team into.

3. You're likely to become the "rockstar". This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but can be damaging to companies that do not now how to work with them - see https://neilonsoftware.com/difficult-people-on-software-proj....

4. You will eventually start burning out, there's no question about it. Burn out doesn't affect just you, it affects the company. Once you start burning out, all sorts of interpersonal and quality problems will develop that will jeapordize a (hopefully) otherwise healthy team.

5. You will ocassionally ping your teammates outside of work hours, some of whom, due to various reasons, will feel a need to respond, or "hop on for a quick check". Yes, the teammates are in control of their actions, no, that does not excuse you from regularly pinging them outside of work hours. This is especially nefarious if there is a power imbalance, such as a more senior engineer (or a rockstar) pinging a more junior engineer.

If you're finding that you need to continuously work overtime to meet deadlines, speak with your manager, this is a problem for them to solve, not you.

You can just drop "intellectual" and there will be no fundamental change to the argument, it's only the name of the laws defining "property" that change.
Interesting. I'm curious, was it fear of IBM or was there a concrete threat from IBM which was already eating Hashicorp's lunch and was an existential threat?

I have a hard time imagining why anyone would choose IBM's offering over Hashicorp's offering unless they would already be up until their necks into IBM stuff. I also wouldn't really expect the IBM and Hashicorp customer base to overlap much?
You're right that counterfeiting devalues currency, but that doesn't make it stealing. Nobody would refer to counterfeit currency as "stolen".
@lupusreal I've added a comment that might clarify what I meant. Thanks for explaining what didn't make sense to you, despite getting downvoted.
I dunno man, personally I try to avoid living my life by walking right up to the edge of what's legal, and I don't admire or respect that trait in others either.
Working smart vs working hard. Also - optics.

Notice how even if you are an early bird and in the office by 9, you are a lazy slacker when you leave at 5? Then someone rolls in at 11 and leaves at 7 - same number of hours. HARD WORKER.

People are shallow, visual, and have no attention spans (especially now). You need to be aware of the optics and play them.

No, you are not gaming the system - you are getting to the even point of a stupid, unfair one.

Also - you need to just plain not take jobs in companies with hustle cultures if you can avoid it. If everyone on the team is 22, it's probably going to be hell, because they are still to learn the lesson the hard way.

Call it reverse agism or whatever, but it's a joy to work with professionals who have seen dysfunctional workplaces and who have lives.
They actually do both - they spend three quarters of their time in Colorado, but they also sample random places and use that data to decide where is the next Colorado.
Dark frame subtraction cannot remove cosmic rays. It removes things the camera sees in the dark at the time of dark frame capture.

This is things like dead pixels, hot pixels and amp glow.

If a cosmic ray was removed by a dark frame, two cosmic rays would have had to happen, one during dark frame and one during the actual capture. They'd have had to be the same intensity and hit the same pixels. This is probably never going to happen.

As for who this is for? You and I may benefit too with less cosmic ray noise in our photos. We still see them, though we have a lot more information in our photos. You can see them too if you take dark frames yourself. Even if you put your camera in the freezer to avoid most other noises you'll see them
What a terrible comparison. Both companies went through a stock split while they were CEOs.
Yeah, the definition of RPG will always be debated.

Personally, I think it’s a combination of the things you list, plus a deep story.

Without a deep story, I think you’re just left with a sandbox adventure/survival/simulation game.

I would not consider Terraria an RPG. But others might.
Since some comments point out that the design looks old: I agree.

However, the framework’s author describes the usecase as building simple UIs for what otherwise would be used via the command line or for building UIs for cases when people can't or don’t want to learn a more complex framework (this could include HTML/CSS/JS, which is quite complex, if you do not know it yet!).
We can’t extrapolate 9/11 to all instances of radicalization but exclude Israel.
I just replaced a clunky secrets manager with Mozilla SOPS and secrets-in-code that we keep in git encrypted and can version like any other file. I like this approach better than any alternative I've used so far.
Because I also liked the D:OS games despite the combat.

These games are mostly about exploration, stories, decisions - there's a lot that's not turn-based combat. I also liked the Banner Saga games - same. I love XCOM, which is way more turn based, because the combat is quicker and more fun.
You and I know that, but your average consumer has no idea, and could absolutely argue they have been swindled.
> Besides the remediation is not to pirate the copy back, that’s vigilantism. You would need to find a way to prove they took something they shouldn’t have.

That seems unbalanced to me. Why is the onus on the customer to prove that, rather than they just pirate it and the onus is on the seller to prove that they took something they shouldn't have?
To be honest, I don't know if I would have said that. I think that employees in "creative" positions (e.g., you're not serving customers at a bar and need to keep the shop open and working) are paid based on the output they produce. Whether that output is produced in 2, 6 or 8 hours is not really their problem. Looking at it this way, they would have happily paid you 100% of your salary for the same output you're now giving them with a 20% discount.
If there's no way to validate a warrant how does Verizon validate compliance?
Propaganda in Iran
I know. That's my whole point. Apple has it but it's of little use to me because of their limited cross-platform sharing.
Their moat is massive for mobile apps.

For PC + console, I think their clock is ticking. Godot has many disadvantages (fewer features, large performance problems, asset store, poor UI) but they'll eventually fix them and perhaps become the dominant engine. The only question is how much further ahead Unity will be.
Hi,

This is concerning. To me it looks like there is a holy war going on with devs who maintain a secrets manager. The last thing I want is instability with the tool that holds my passwords and credentials. On the low end of my concern is the annoyance of constantly updating names in yaml files, and on the high end is worry that a rogue dev could deliberately add in a security hole that would compromise my secrets.

Is there any assurance this won't happen?
The 1947 UN resolution did not define borders for Palestine. The UN Partition plan defined borders for "A Jewish State" and "An Arab State". Palestine was the name for the geographic area, like "Rocky Mountains", it was not the name of a political entity at the time. Even Arab bodies that used the term, such as the All Palestine Governate, used the term as a geographic term.

This was a recurring theme in Lucky Luke [1]. The titular hero cooks and eats his boots when he faces starvation, usually when he gets lost in the desert.

Russian propaganda is state-of-the-art again (2016)
The Spanish right wing establishment isn't comfortable when not confidently in power, either by directly being in power, or by being sure whoever is in power wouldn't dare to change course on certain policies. This has been an issue for a long long time. The only new development is the emergence of a strong far right wing party, which seems to have driven the moderate right wing party away from the center, emboldening their statements to the point of hyperbole or further.

The current Spanish government is a very fragile minority, but it was voted by 7 out of 9 party groups in Congress (that is everyone except the right wing and far right parties), and the executive power has people from five different parties. Quite exotic for a dictatorship indeed.
I wonder whether that is because most games are projects with a clear endpoint after which development mostly stops.

That allows developers to experiment a little bit (internally or with smaller projects) and hedge their bets.

If there is language compatibility (e.g. C# ) and your reusable components are somewhat sensibly designed (if only to mitigate update risks in your initial engine) it's feasible to think about switching for your next game (unless say in with service product that is expected to run indefinitely)
Language models are currently the best AI systems that solve general reasoning problems, including mathematical ones. So it seems more than obvious to model the problem of finding proofs as a language problem.
> Does nobody else find it even slightly on-the-nose that the guy behind the TF fork just happens to also run a devops company himself?

Needs way more context. You're basically asking if it's suspicious that a person with high interest in X invests in tools for X. No, it's not, unless there's something more to the story and the position is abused in some way.

I'd find it more suspicious if someone with no interest in DevOps/infra did it.
Wrong, allies spy on each other constantly.
But debugging is about "trying out random things". You can call it a Monte-Carlo tree search is you want to sound smart.

And I don't feel is not something that is worth teaching in universities, because it is 90% experience and for me, the point of universities is not to replace experience, just give enough to students so that they are not completely clueless for their first job, the rest will come naturally.

What universities can teach you are the tools that you can use for debugging: debuggers, logging, static and dynamic analyzers, etc..., different classes of bugs: memory errors, the heap, the stack, injection, race conditions, etc..., and testing: branch and line coverage, mocking, fuzzing, etc... How to apply the techniques is down to experience.

In fact, that's what I find most disappointing is not juniors programmers struggling with debugging, this is normal, you need experience to debug efficiently and juniors don't have enough yet. The problem is when seniors are missing entire classes of tools and techniques, as in, they don't even know they exist.
From my perspective as a passenger, trains constantly being delayed or cancelled due to problems with the track suggests the track is not being adequately maintained. It could be the case that there is sufficient money available and it is being poorly spent. I am not inclined to think this because there is a general trend of chronically underfunding public services, but I don't have specific knowledge about national rail.

Incidentally, I don't think NR is free to set its own pay scales, so it may well be the case that the money wastage you describe is mandated by the same government that funds it.
How does this 2-bit quantization method compare to HQQ which was posted yesterday?

You seem to be using a dictionary with very short entries. Mine contains 10 different meanings of the verb "take" and one of them is "obtain, gain, acquire".
This is why web3 is a thing, so you don’t have to make laws, the tech can make the laws unnecessary. We are trying to do this for content at Darkblock. You buy it, you own it.
Ah, that is a very good reason indeed! At least for projecting from 2D to 1D the gaussian is the only distribution with this property. The functional equation g(x)g(y)=g(√(x^2+y^2))g(0) determines the gaussian up to a constant.
They would if they could. Spain is a weak little country that depends on the US for defense. The US is the most powerful country in history. There is no symmetry.

I missed that.
I'm glad if Godot remains independent. VC funded OSS projects do not have a track record of remaining open-source.

It would be nice if Amazon did something about the forest itself on the hand. I am personally saddened that the company is now top of mind for that name for probably most of humanity, despite the Amazon rainforest being the world's largest, is worth many billions and doesn't even support a massive rainforest-oriented conservation program. Same thought about brands benefiting from the aura of other non-persons including Red Bull (from the CITES-vulnerable krating/gaur, which has fewer than 1,000 individuals left in Thailand), Puma, Jaguar…
Since value is only defined by what people are willing to pay for it, and lacking any extra common rules, these acts of copying simply signal not accepting the demanded price: so the value claimed by the owner was not the actual value, thus they have lost only their self-deception about the value.
As far as I am aware, there is nothing intrinsically preventing people using it.

I have no experience in building big titles or even commercial games, but I see no obvious "blockers" to building a large and complex 3d game. It's not like Godot itself limits you to only doing basic 2d platformers or whatever - it seems as flexible and power as unity.

Sure you might not have all the same eye candy as the very latest unreal engine or whatever, so AAA quality titles might be out, and I am not sure what the multiplayer stack is like, but it seems like the fundamentals are there and so there is nothing to hold people back.
I don't have to read the article to know what "greedflation" means. You read the article and don't know!
Site rejects EU because RGPD, alt URL: https://archive.is/e77LB
I guess "stealing" is done by "thieves" but i didn't mean to be so harsh, next time i'll be more careful with my words. Whilst copying bits has negligible cost, the _original_ cost of production has to be borne by someone, do the people paying to watch pay more to cover those that don't pay? The price of access is part of the license, another example would being crediting sources when using cc by-sa material. Sony's actions here don't engender any sympathy, but with piracy i'm more concerned with the writers and artists etc..

What I _meant_ to emphasise was that the button shouldn't be labelled "buy" if someone else can take it away. Not allowing this label this would help steer people away from situations like Sony just created, and help encourage DRM-free options.
Then in that target language, found by a clever human, you could do the same type of enumeration...

My whole point is that humans simply cannot process/create by themselves any truly long proof (we can obviously create a process for that). Therefore enumeration puts everything achievable by humans in the NP complexity. Feel free to disagree, this is not so much a theorem as more of a thesis.

Maybe I'm just sheltered, but "pirates" to me evoke goofy adventures and hijinks more than hardened criminals hurting innocents. So describing copyright violations as "piracy" emphasizes how comical the laws being broken are.
There's some interesting further detail about the extent of the deception on Parmy Olson's Twitter. (Olson wrote the original expose article for Bloomberg.)

The counterpoint to this is many studios are sequel factories, or producing games that are at least broadly in the same genre continuously, and each game starts as a fork of the last, which is how you end up with things like the COD engine or Source 2 having a direct lineage to engines from 90s quake games. So "Assassins Creed: Odyssey" may not be an ongoing service, but "Assassins Creed" is, and tech carries forward from one to the next.
Now I'm seriously wondering how hard is to fill taxes in the UK. I think I have done worse mistakes than a few cents in crypto and all I got was having to resubmit the forms.

Edit: On second thought, I don't own a business, so I guess nobody is going to look into my tax fillings with the same suspicion since they do not expect me to be doing anything funny with my accounting.
Of course they're tautologies in a logic sense, and I deliberately wrote them that way (whether they are pejorative tautologies is not really a material point.) They're statements about the methods for empirical thinking, the statements were not supposed to have empirical content themselves.

I guess the important part is how Godot is currently organized and remains independent.
It's a false dichotomy.

Snapping features from paid-for devices, or taking away content people paid for, is shitty and should be legally banned.

DRM is a tool, like an electric drill, and you can use it to build a house or kill someone. I'm happy to pay less to rent a film online subject to constraints such as time or single device, and for DRM to enforce that. I reject the idea that my printer stops working because I used third-party ink. DRM is an implementation detail.

Finally, there's nothing noble about piracy, even if you pirate things from asshole corporations. I'll agree that it is less bad in the context, but still. Victimless crime or not, someone owns IP to whatever you are after, and using it without their permission is not some kind of civil disobedience.
So Apple only cares about security for Apple platform users and not all users of Apple services? Such commitment to security...
> Verizon can't call the Clerk's office and ask, "did the grand jury really issue a subpoena?"

Yes, they actually can. There should be contact information associated with a subpoena that verizon can both verify are legitimate and then directly contact to validate the subpoena.

This comes up in the medical field and, due to much higher penalties if they respond to a fake, medical staff get trained to do just this [1]. HIPAA doesn't care if you are tricked into revealing HIPAA information.

I really liked the umbrella demo :)

Here's my take on testing[0].

I write Quality software. It's a matter of personal satisfaction. Many folks can't really tell the difference between relatively good software, and very high Quality software, but the cost difference can be quite large. We don't get rich, writing top-shelf software.

The issue is, in my opinion, that we don't even produce much "relatively good" software, these days.

I won't get into it. It doesn't win me any friends. I was fortunate, to find a company that shared my values. Many of their processes would absolutely horrify a majority of folks on this site, and it was, quite frankly, often maddening.

But you can't argue with results. They produced extremely expensive kit, for over 100 years, and they are regularly used on the ISS.

Just looked at the team and it's founded by George Church, professor at Harvard/MIT. There's certainly been some great research to come from his labs, but this guy is on the board of almost every biotech company to emerge from the Boston area. His wikipedia says he cofounded 50 biotech companies, lol. There's a few of these 'rockstar' professors that collect companies like infinity stones from all the students to pass through their labs.

I wonder how many of these companies were just his name tacked on for credibility vs him being deeply involved in the product development of direction of the company.

It is a right. But if your state attacks another state and loses, you are going to be occupied, tough luck, consider not attacking anyone next time.

Israel was established by consent of the legal owner of Palestine that day, British Empire, and was attacked by what you would call Palestinians today (Arabs living in former British Palestine) on the first day of existence - and never had a day of peace since then.

I in all honesty don't know what peace could look like today. It should embrace recognition of State of Israel in its borders (that's the easy part, but was never delivered from the Arab side) and realistic guarantees that it will not be attacked again (that one is hard).
But "theorem provers" don't prove anything, they just check existing proofs for validity. That's a much less demanding task than coming up with a proof in the first place.
