ccache pretty aggressively scans for things like __DATE__ and has direct understanding of compiler flags so instances of bad caching are pretty rare, I think I've only had it happen twice in years of use and once was a GCC bug. Also since ccache supports s3 out of the box now remote caching is pretty fast to setup. Remote compilation is not handled by ccache at all. You need distcc or icecc for that.
Well, I have good news for you: the most recent Final Fantasy has the oldest protagonist in the series (after the prologue), at a grizzled and careworn 28. Prior to that the oldest protagonists were Cloud and Lightning, both 21. (Zidane is the youngest post-Famicom protagonist at 16.)
I used to look forward to buying my monthly copy of Computer Shopper, if only to fantasize about upgrading the various components of my modest PC. More RAM, faster RAM, faster CPU, bigger HDD, more powerful GPU, bigger monitor, better monitor.

One also can't actually conceive of such a thing, you're correct. We can have the idea that such a being might possibly be conceivable, like a linguistic positing of a perfect being, but as you say, actually conceiving the being will take you your whole life and still not even get close to a conception of the actual being. One of the many places the argument falls apart for me. Anselm is also the fool for considering that such a thing can exist in the mind of a fool.
These things take time. The Soviets held all the major cities in Afghanistan for 10 years. The Americans had a major presence in Vietnam for 9. World powers can certainly take a punch and keep going. Ukraine does not disprove the idea that at some point they'll throw in the towel.
It doesn't seem particularly relevant to modern conflicts where both sides resort to both direct and indirect strategies simultaneously as soon as they are available.
> Anselm's argument is also set in exams for philosophy students, as something to find problems with.

Yes, because the well-known (to people who aren't first year philosophy students) problems with it are a good intro and lead in to various concepts, notably the distinction between existence in intellectu and existence in re the idea that existence is not a predicate.

Its not taught as an argument that is particularly influential currently, but because it is both historically important and pedagogically useful in coning yo concepts that are of more current relevance.

They didn't have a choice. It was a war for their civilizational survival. If they surrendered to Germany, the Western part of the country would have been killed/enslaved, with the rump Eastern part carved up at Germany's leisure.

The author is a journalist that got paid to go to this venue and intentionally did so. There was no happenstance here.

The Turing Test isn't supposed to be can a person casually interacting with an AI think it's a person. It's can a determined examiner, given two blinded conversational partners, knowing one is an AI and another is a person, tell the difference if they do as deep and probing an examination as they can think of. I think the bigger criticism of the test is more that an intelligence can be different than humans without being inferior or less intelligent, it could be more intelligent, and you could tell the difference.

Strong ties with the US is neutral. You can take advantage of it, or not. Egypt is a laggard, Greece is a laggard, Israel and Iceland aren't.

But I think you bolster my point, culture has to do a lot with how a people confront adversity and overcome it.

Both Korea ad Taiwan could have cried about being colonies of Japan whose resources and people were taken with no return. Japan could have succumbed to US defeat and felt sorry for itself too.

The revamped FFVII on PC (own it on Steam) and I believe on consoles (not the remake) has boosters and random-battle skipping, as well as other features (like fast forwarding, I think). It makes it more approachable and less time-consuming to get through the game. The random battles time fillers are practically eleminated, and understandably make the game a breeze, as well, which removes much of the challenge.

As a teenager, I had plenty of time to explore the ins and outs. Nowadays, especially since I hit 40 recently, I realize I don't have the patience for such nonsense, either. My Steam backlog is at almost 3000, meaning I'll need a few more lifetimes to do them justice. Nowadays I'll just focus on one or two games till I finish them, and sometimes, when not tired or sleepy, sample others. The thought of games like Factorio fascinates me, but also turns me off. Especially the rogue-like genre games.

Square has updated, I believe, all their FF series games with this in mind. These features are optional and can be enabled/disabled on demand, as well.

You're not the only one grateful for successful cancer treatments this year. They really ought to be more broadly available than they are, and the constant nickeling and diming by the insurance companies over the course of the year is something for which I am distinctly not grateful.

New Year's Resolution is to undo the bitrot that incurred and return to the front line of the AI Arms Race.

This is a notable differentiation - Writing assembly is a different skill to reading it from a disassembly. Reverse engineering, malware analysis etc. does not inherently require you to be able to write asm, although it certainly would help.

I don't know if it's the gameplay or the writing that you're having trouble with, but if it's the latter, you're not alone: I think it has overall the worst plot/characters/setting of the single-player FF games I've played (I haven't played XV or XVI). And XIII provides some really stiff competition in that regard.

An informal security assessment of Imzy (part 2) (2017)
I knew a guy who worked at one of the national labs that had its own Cray-1 supercomputer, in a machine room with a big observation window that visitors could admire it through.

Just before a big tour group of VIPs he knew would come by, he hid inside the Cray-1, and waited patiently for them to arrive.

Then he casually strolled out from inside the Cray-1, pulling up the zipper of his jeans, with a sheepish relieved expression on his face, looked up startled at the tour group gaping at him through the window, and scurried off!
You've had to debloat Windows for multiple versions now. The argument isn't Windows vs Linux here. It's windows 10 vs 11.
I thought "you" was the formal version and "thou" was informal. Didn't read the article though. No time right now but I'll do so later.

I'm happy more languages drop this formal stuff though. In Dutch it's also pretty uncommon now to say "U". And I like it.

In fact it used to be much worse, when I was young every agenda came with a whole page of formal verbiage for people of different roles (like ministers, judges and other officials). I don't think anyone uses that stuff anymore.
> Time I could have spent with my wife, my brother, my dog, instead of answering support emails from my first waking moment to right before sleeping

That’s painful to read.

I remember Marco Arment saying he didn’t do support at all via email. The argument was that it would take all his waking hours or he would have to hire a whole team just for that. I thought it was arrogant and, honestly, unacceptable back then, but maybe he was right after all.

Congratulations on the apps, they seem incredibly polished. And kudos for the clarity of direction in life. I’d choose to make 3X what I do and deal with the Zoom and soul crunching day to day.

> You don't think you're maybe contorting yourself to make some of these arguments work?

First of all, I still prefer TypeScript to Python when it comes to language features. So no, I'm not defending my favorite language here - if anything, I'm "attacking" it.

Secondly, I don't really think in terms of defending favorite languages - they all come with strenghts and weaknesses and I think that its important to talk about and acknowledge both aspects even for languages we really enjoy. That's the only way for languages to move forward and improve.

That said, being embedded into an ecosystem for a long time makes us used to its strenghts and desensitised to its weaknesses. This in turn makes it harder for us to really see the ecosystem's standing compared to others.

I'm trying to provide a perspective as someone who has worked in the ecosystem for a long time and has recently started exploring other options.

Are JS package managers better than Python's? Certainly. If you took a sampling of various tools and libraries in Python, would you be far more likely to have them work together than a sampling of various tools in JS? Absolutely.

I'm a relative beginner to Python compared to JS/TS, but I had a chance to work with it more recently. I had no trouble dealing with pip, venvs and poetry. Yes, there were challenges and annoyances but at least it was possible to overcome them with sufficient knowledge. I agree though - Python has long ways to go to improve this.

However, if I compare this with my previous JS experience, its a different order of magnitude. No amount of knowledge would've made styled components work with next's app router - I simply had to start over and make different choices for my SSR framework and UI library (the alternative was to help with Mantine's migration away from Emotion). So what do I do with my other, already well-developed side project that uses Mantine and Next pages router? I can continue to use the pages router, but for how long? Who knows - its not like there is any kind of concept of LTS or even any kind of thought on that topic when it comes to Next.js anyway (e.g. https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/41906)

At the end of the day, IMO the main difference is attitude. There is broad acknowledgement in the Python community about their problems and they're considered important to solve. I don't see anything like that in JS - compatibility and providing continuity is just not something most authors want to think about. Innovation is (still) priority #1

I realize its hard to make a convincing statement about frequency/magnitude/probability/attitude though. Similar examples will exist across ecosystems. What kind of data would convince you that the situation in the JS ecosystem is bad enough that it warrants a priority shift in the community?

it's true that being born in USA and speaking English is such a lottery win.

Being a human is hard and there's misery in everything if you look! I'm a fan of Cornel West so if you ask me "what it means to be human" is precisely to eyes-wide-open lean into the DYING of everything.

So this is not about how great the US is. I'm grateful to have fallen into a language that caters to more people than not. And to be relatively safe insofar as this is just a huge fucking nation and it's hard to invade.

I'm also missing out on a lot of things. But i count my blessings just the same.
That's a perfectly good and underappreciated translation. The guy is a hundred-or-so year old sage, he's not going to be turning the air blue, in that scene he's finally flown off the handle and is not going to be choosing his words carefully to match the modern ear. If you ignore the meme and read the words as they are, it really helps the emotion of the moment come through.

I looked a little into it. Some of it is indeed built on stuff that is quite old. It seems like they’re doing a vector embedding thing but have operations defined on their embedding space that capture certain symbolic reasoning abilities and allow you to perform reasoning using multiple networks (they have a structured way to combine the output of a color network and a shape network to encode “red triangle” even if the networks don’t know about each other)
Super Metroid is still a very difficult game despite the automap. Getting lost in a game where you can warp to the start by dying isn't scary, it's tedious.

After finding out that bamboo fabric is just rayon, and seeing some videos of how bamboo lumber is created ... I'm not feeling all that positive about bamboo as some kind of green/renewable material. The processing it requires uses a bunch of really nasty chemicals.
Oh you are on a similar boat as mine. The problem I have with the remake is that it's not turn based, this means it has to compete with other action-based games and I have more interesting games to play in that department.

The old one had a very interesting materia system, that is still unique.

I'm like you, I have 1000 games to play and I usually go super deep in what I play, so it's rare I finish anything before 50 hours. Given that, I'm at a beautiful point where I cannot play games that are just good, only great games.

I do love factorio, although I think dyson sphere program is better (lighter and more interesting).
In 2020 people were complaining about lack of games, while I had my incredible year with Ori and the blind forest, ori and the will of the wisp, dyson sphere program, hollow knight and xcom 2. That was my best year probably.

Sorry for the wall of text. All of this to say, square enix doesn't innovate, I prefer indie gamea, gameplay for me it's everything. Plot is nice, but i'd rather watch on youtube if the gameplay is average.

And yeah, if there is farming that's not fun, I drop the game or occasionally I look for cheats to skip the farming.

This allowed me to play monster hunter iceborne endgame, which requires thousands of hours, in single player and by enjoying it way more (very strategic when changing build doesn't cost a fortune). Had a great time with it, but I was about to drop it when I realized how much farm it needed

it’s easy to forget how many bits needs to be pushed down a graphics pipeline, per pixel, per frame. in fact forget the pipeline, just pushing the bits down the wire fast enough is a non-trivial task.
A lot slower - roughly 100x - because most of these benchmarks measure FLOPS and the rp2040 doesn't have native floating point, so it has to emulate it, taking it down to 1-3 MFLOPS vs the 160 MFLOPS of the cray-1.

If you compared integer operations it would be a lot closer, but that's not really what the cray was designed for. (The rp2040 at 125mhz * 2 cores is in a pretty similar range)
This is incredible. Thanks for sharing!
