No, the problem is not expectations. There's a viable market for pretty much anything. The problem small developers face is not so much finding a market, but rather being able to be seen. Since it's so easy to make games nowadays, the indy market is flooded with titles. If you go browsing through Steam it's not too hard to find games that will appeal to you, but that you just never heard of. If the AAA studios are analogous to Hollywood, then the indy studios are analogous to YouTubers.
Yeah, I understand that Dover books might have a copyright on, say, Moby Dick but it's on the forward that they tackled on to Melville's prose, not the story.

The sole criterion for JavaScript was to design something that could be shipped as fast as possible. The early browser wars were all about pumping features out. Security had nothing to do with it.

here here. I am very thankful that when i started out a decade ago the first book i read was Designing with Web Standards. I still recommend it to noobs but i can’t necessarily blame them for not getting through it when there are more shiny things like React and Vite to learn about.

To read that book now would be largely a history lesson because we no longer have to fight to maintain some quirk between a handful of browser versions. But man, knowing about semantic markup and really getting why that is a thing in the first place is super important.

Yeah, broadband basically killed the LAN party scene as well.

As a teenager my friends and I got into hosting occasional LAN parties. The very first were so we could play Doom deathmatch over serial connections lol. But anyhow it was something I really liked.

When I moved halfway across the country I didn't know anyone. I googled around and found the local major LAN parties. I went to one that was hosted every couple of months in a union hall, with around 200 attendees. At the first one I ended up sitting next to a group of chill folks, and they let me know they did their own dozen person party every other Saturday.

So I started attending that, and it resulted in several life long friendships. We've all changed, grown, moved, had kids, etc but most of us are still in touch. Even for the folks that moved away we meet up every summer or two and do a canoe camping trip or such.

Now, to be fair, I've made life long friends purely on the internet as well, but I do miss those old LAN party days. It was a lot of fun staying up until dawn playing rocket arena et all over and over.

Also to be fair the LAN parties were not hospitable to women, especially the larger ones. On the rare occasion they did try it out they'd get hounded by the least socially aware idiots in the room, and no one else really did anything about it (including myself, as I didn't understand these dynamics at that age).

These days with discord and everything some of that vibe is back in the purely online context, but still I don't think there will ever really be anything like those in person events.
Grew up in the 90s and Mickey was not a significant character in their movies that decade and the old Mickey cartoons were rarely shown. Mario became more famous than Mickey by then, but the mouse logo is ubiquitous, and most people had at least seen Fantasia or clips of the old cartoons.

Interesting. The TXR Lisp VM uses displays, and has a similar concept with keeping track of levels. We can see that with code. We disable optimization so the compiler doesn't eliminate frames:

1> (let ((*opt-level* 0))

#<sys:vm-desc: 9fb6870>
2> (disassemble *1)

GM Says It's Ditching Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for Your Safety
It's only dodgy compared to Ponta Delgada or the well groomed areas of London, which are well groomed thanks to immigrant labour. Pickpockets and annoying sodium bicarbonate or basilic 'drug dealers' are quite common in Lisbon, but then evey major tourist destination has pickpockets. The novelty in Lisbon is the fake drug dealers. I don't know about drugs as I haven't seen any needles or addicts or even stoners on the street.
> Like "i" before "e", except after "c"?

> While "i" does come before "e" nearly 75% of the time—even after "c" it is a probabilistic rule and not particularly useful.

That's only the first part of the rhyme. The second part is "or when sounded like 'a' as in 'neighbor' or 'weigh'", which handles most of those exceptions.

There's even a third part I remember hearing once, but can't remember it now.

Most English spelling/pronunciation rules are never explicitly taught, but they do exist - it's why "ghoti" isn't pronounced the same as "fish", to get that pronunciation you have to break at least two rules.

Years ago I found a page that listed like 40 or so English pronunciation rules that had to do with combinations of characters and where they appeared in words, it was really thorough and I wish I'd kept a link to it.
The origins of Israel go back to the post-WW1 Ottoman partition. WW2 just fed them more colonists.
Have you spoken with lawyers about this idea? At least in the United States, that’s not how copyright or public domain works. One does not need to apply for copyright to receive one, and there is no mechanism for renouncing copyright. There is a belief held by some that copyright, like many other rights, can be renounced however that theory has never been tested in court and there are several dissenting opinions from notable IP lawyers.

This is a great book about how our capitalist economy was very much designed. It's cited heavily in Graeber's Toward an Anthropological Theory of Value and supports his general push revealed by the quote in Adam Curtis' docuseries Can't Get You Out of My Head: "The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something we make. And could just as easily make differently."
It would be nice if people in the region at least pretended to be working towards peaceful solutions.

Not really, I think. Doesn’t it directly follow from (FTA)b“Motorola’s 700 page manual for the system even showed how to use the 6800 family to create a complete ‘Point-of-Sale’ terminal”?

I don't think driving a truck means that you're necessarily against EVs. The Rivian is proof that truck buyers do want EVs. Ultimately a truck has to provide utility. The Lightning just doesn't offer enough utility for the price.

I initially put down a deposit on the Lightning, but then the price got jacked up multiple times. And there were quality issues, and the towing range was terrible, and the charging network was subpar. It's not surprising that Ford is having to cut production.

there is no way any competently written back end system takes 5-7 seconds for any reason whatsoever. A middling back end system with median complexity is doing 10-100K requests per second per server and is near-perfectly horizontally scalable.

They might be onto something here.

Instead of doing lots of back-n-forth with the giants, enriching them with each prompt, you get a smaller local model that's much more respectful of your privacy.

That's an operating model I am willing to do some OSS contributions to, or even bankroll.

The thing that really worries me and which no one seems to be talking about is the region locking of localisation for streaming content.

For context - we're a Polish family living in the UK(like 2 million other Polish people). We have a small child who loves Disney films, and because he is normally exposed to English(and speaks it fluently) I'd like him to at least watch cartoons in Polish. But Disney region locks most(not all, but majority) of Polish localisation to Poland only. When we visit Poland I can watch all Disney content in Polish on my UK account without any issue - but when we're in the UK these localisation options disappear. So Disney clearly has those options but chooses not to offer them.

So right now, at least we can still buy DVDs or have those shipped over. But it's clear that Disney wants to stop distribution of physical media - as they've already done in some regions.

What then for multilingual families? Just "suck it up" and don't have access to content in my language, because I don't happen to currently live in Poland?

The later half of the post is about Sony's deal with Paramount ending, resulting in paid content being revoked from Playstation consoles.

Whether Sony refused to pay the previously-agreed upon rate, or Paramount decided to unreasonably increase what Sony was paying, we may never know, but both of those are definitely large enough for the commenter's remark to be relevant.
Not sure why you would write this, please research.

1. There is actually affirmative action for Arab Israelis.

2. A lot of Israelis (Jewish and Arab alike) go study medicine abroad. You need a near perfect score on the SAT-equivalent exam to get into med school in Israel (not enough spots, too many applicants).
At least modern Google Pixel phones have an IOMMU (https://grapheneos.org/faq#baseband-isolation)
For context:

As a percentage of the population, Hamas's attack on Oct 7th killed 6 times as many people as Al Qaeda did on September 11. If you are an Israeli, you are 6 times more likely to know someone impacted by those attacks than Americans did in 2001. As a result of the 2001 attack, the US invaded two countries, resulting in million(s)[1] dead on the other side.

Make no mistake: For any country that has the means, losing 900 people in one day will always be seen as an act of war, and they will respond. While the Israeli response is certainly "disproportionate", it is not by any means an outlier when you compare with typical conflicts around the world.

I definitely think Israel's response should be condemned, but I will openly say: Our government(s) in the US routinely do worse. Let there be perspective.

It's not the codecs that were multithreaded in this release. Pretty much all modern codecs are already multithreaded. What they decided to parallelize is ffmpeg itself. You know, the filter graphs and such. They didn't do anything to the codecs themselves.
how deep does the support go? i.e. can we safely import from node platform builtins like `os` or are the same bundling gymnastics still required there? (fwiw this is one of the major issues with vercel's edge funcs)

This happened a lot. 2600 Magazine had locations for meet ups with ones fellow hackers. I, personally, wrote in and had them remove 2 locations, since people stopped showing up to them after the evolution of information we're in now.

Ironic, imo. It all started with BBSes, turned into personal meets, then went right back to digital, because of ease of use and features not supported with the BBS style of community.

I miss BBSes some days. It was a fun time.
That same Wikipedia article casts some doubt about whether the question "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" was really a question of serious discussion.

From the same entry:

> However, evidence that the question was widely debated in medieval scholarship is lacking.[5] One theory is that it is an early modern fabrication,[a] used to discredit scholastic philosophy at a time when it still played a significant role in university education.
Only the opportunist will emigrate to grab those opportunities. Most of the best and brightest europeans are smart enough to find a great job within their own country or close, with a great healthcare, eduction, fresh food, rail system while living close to their family.

"reports revealing that attackers accessed personal information of nearly 7 million people — half of the company’s user base — in an October hack."

Breaking into a system should never provide access to 7 million people. The database should be divided up into multiple "cells" each with its own separate access restrictions.

It's the same idea that spy networks use to prevent one compromised spy from bringing down the whole system. Or you can think of it like watertight compartments in a battleship.
SpaceX is taking a very different approach from those of other launch companies, taking a far more rapid prototyping style approach to development, knowing that the first few iterations are going to have problems that they can fix in the later versions.

This sounds wasteful on paper, but in practice it is much much faster and amazingly enough cheaper. With traditional rockets you never make enough to enjoy economies of scale, but with SpaceX's approach they've dropped the cost of the engine by about an order of magnitude over just a few years, and it was already a very inexpensive engine. For the cost of a single RS-25 you can buy 400 Raptors.
The Secret Service also does anything with hacking the telecom system, wired and wireless and it looks like they also do some of the internet and infrastructure stuff.
Hmm, that Emterpreter comment might be a leftover from the asm.js times.
The way you put it, it sounds like Israel got up in the morning one day and for reasons no one can understand, decided to start inflicting civilian casualties on Palestinians.
If the UN was a properly working organization, it would have intervened long ago to force a ceasefire. But we all know that only applies to very poor countries with no economic or political relevance.
But Steam updates happen in the background! It's pretty rare for me to be waiting for an update.
I think an honest answer would be to end occupation and oppression of the Palestinians by Israel. Any occupying force has an interest to silence and stop indigenous people from claiming their land rights.

For example, Gaza had been described as an open air prison for almost 2 decades because its borders, imports, sea usage, had all been controlled by Israel. This is not what we call “sovereign rule”. The West Bank has been checkered with military checkpoints and illegal settlements, contravening international agreements.

When people are driven to desperation, and their lives are made miserable because the occupying forces want to remove them, they do not have many options.

I think it is quite adequate to compare Gaza to the situation in for example, the Warsaw Ghetto in WW2, when an uprising was quashed by occupying German forces. This Gaza is a heavily urban area with vast majority of civilians, it cannot be compared to two armies fighting on a battlefield.
How is it intertwined? Startups or big weapons manufacturers?
the more i think about it, the cartels are a pretty good comparison
Ummm… what? Can you point to one major publication that is trying to cover this? Media corporations can control the narrative by controlling who they hire. It’s more expensive but they’ve been doing it for a long time so there’s institutional knowledge. Also, these same companies make their money on advertising so explain to me why you’d trust them to go after their sole remaining revenue stream?
Hamas statements have said it's about killing Jews and it being the moral duty of Palestinians to do that and sacrifice their children to the cause. It's religious in at least one direction.

It was about land once. I suspect, to throw the exact level of thinking on the table by these people, about as worthy as a meme at this point.
Cryogenic fuel transfer requires a bit more than that.

The big issue is that unlike all fuel that has been moved between tanks in microgravity in the past, SpaceX isn't storing their fuel in a flexible tank. Instead, they have the fuel and the pressurant gas in the same tank. Under acceleration (gravity or otherwise), this is not a problem, because the fuel pools naturally "down", with the pressurant above it.

However, as soon as the acceleration stops, there is no more down. Instead of having a bunch of fuel on the bottom and pressurant above, the tank will contain a chaotic mixture of floating gas and liquid.

The minimum setup for fuel transfer is a maneuvering system capable of a very long, weak impulse (to provide down), and then some kind of pump that moves fuel, because the force provided by the weak impulse of a maneuvering thruster is not enough to do it on it's own.
The reference to the origin of the concept of a singularity was better than most, but still misunderstood it:

> In 1993 Vernor Vinge drew on computer science and his fellow science-fiction writers to argue that ordinary human history was drawing to a close. We would surely create superhuman intelligence sometime within the next three decades, leading to a “Singularity”, in which AI would start feeding on itself.

Yes it was Vernor, but he said something much more interesting: that as the speed of innovation itself sped up (the derivative of acceleration) the curve could bend up until it became essentially vertical, literally a singularity in the curve. And then things on the other side of that singularity would be incomprehensible to those of us on our side of it. This is reflected in Peace and Fire upon the deep and other of his novels going back before the essay.

You can see in this idea is itself rooted in ideas from Alvin Toffler in the 70s (Future Shock) and Ray Lafferty in the 60s (e.g. Slow Tuesday Night).

So AI machines were just part of the enabling phenomena -- the most important, and yes the center of his '93 essay. But the core of the metaphor was broader than that.

I'm a little disappointed that The Economist, of all publications, didn't get ths quite right, but in their defense, it was a bit tangental to the point of the essay.
Thanks for the comment - are you saying that one-way sync has a 10x wider audience than two-way syncs?
They continue to make very strong arguments and propagate their story into western media (Channel4 did a story about it and so did NYT).

They even have explainer videos, like the one you linked, or this one here from a month later: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60EK-3-kGLI

Their arguments are well produced and cast doubt on the Israeli/American story in every possible way.

But isn't that also what a sophisticated propaganda campaign would look like?

As I said, I watched it unfold live, and my assessment was that they couldn't possibly know there were 800 dead on such short notice. When the sun rose, I expected to see a leveled hospital, like so many other buildings in Gaza. Instead, I saw a tiny crater in a parking lot.

It was then that I learned the "Ministry of Health (Palestine)" is actually a government agency, effectively Hamas. That was the entity that supplied the numbers that drove the headlines that caused so many more problems.

You might think "Who would exaggerate the numbers of dead to cause international outrage!? That's unthinkable!". But they are literal terrorists. This is the playbook.

In the video you linked, they don't show the impact site. They don't mention that the hospital is still very much functioning. They don't show the surrounding buildings not having been impacted. But if you were making an honest assessment of "israeli airstrike on hospital" or "stray rocket hit hospital parking lot", those details make a huge amount of difference.

When it happened, I thought we would see retractions from AJ and other Arab media after the sun rose, but they were continuing to run the "Israel bombs hospital" story while omitting key video and photo details that were widely available on Wikiepdia.
absolutely not watching the trailer; will watch the movie w/out knowing single thing that is about to happen, visually, in movie.

>It was not fake news

Yes it was.

There is no strong evidence of any kind that it was improperly used.

>There's also new evidence of them using it again in Lebanon.

Also fake news.

>Which of the hospital bombings are you referring to? All or one of them?

The large one that supposedly killed 500 people in OCT. The rest of them are fake news as well.
