That was a bit of a revelation last year - I though most of the time CEO gets shares as compensation then he is tied to the company and in theory should work to make company profit because it is his profit.

Seems like for a lot of companies it is not the case but I can see that CEO type of guys can haggle really well and they call the shots as mostly it is companies that need them more than they need the company so they can disagree on having shackles.

He also wanted 3D but once we added some great looking dinosaur sprites (generated with DALL E) he was fully engaged. I'm a ruby developer and it's been a joy learning the differences between web and game dev.

Knowing that we can easily distribute on mobile platforms, web, Steam and Switch once we're ready has kept us coming back.

> It allows programs written for Linux to run under Microsoft Windows.

No, at its core it's a port of GCC to MS-DOS (not Windows); it has no compatibility for Linux programs other than by virtue of both using the same compiler (GCC). If the program uses more than the standard C or C++ library, there's a good chance it won't compile unless it's ported to use what's available in MS-DOS. Even basic things such as process management (fork and so on) are non-existent in DJGPP, and unless you're running in a DOS window within Windows 9x (which makes available the LFN API to DOS applications), you're limited to the classic case-insensitive 8.3 filenames (which trip programs designed for Unix-style systems more often than you'd think).

Why Texas's grid isn't failing during this year's extreme cold
Work is not only getting a task done. It also involves helping struggling or new colleagues. How does "learning on the job" even look like with remote work? When I started as an engineer after university, I learned so much during lunch breaks or at the water cooler. This does not happen with remote work and there is nothing to compensate for this.
How could remote work not be more productive? Most of my friends/colleagues get back at least an hour of their lives each day they don't commute, and they all use the "extra" time to do more work. People wanna work. They just don't wanna sit in traffic, walk through parking lots and ride elevators for an hour every day.

Siphons only really "work" if the final position of the water is lower than the starting position. Siphon effect allows the water to pass through an intermediate higher elevation without continuous external pumping energy, but on average the water must still be going downhill to utilize the siphon effect.

This could be of interest if it has to be 3D. I haven't tried it myself but Code Combat generally has a series of "wizard style" tutorials.

If he's ok starting with the basics of coding and 2D game development then Code Combat's original Game Development 3 Course Series is pretty good to start with if you want him to go autonomously with out basically having him type out/copy pasting what you are doing.

If they are willing to do 2D and can follow a tutorial I'd recommend microstudio.dev using Lua/Python/JS or Microscript.

Maybe you should have.

I get the feeling that you’re trying to win an argument over the use of the term “monopoly”, when what people are concerned about is anti-competitive behavior (which can happen in monopolies, duopolies, dominated markets, etc.).

As I mentioned before, fixating on the use of the term “monopoly” doesn’t accomplish much and seems to miss the overarching point of the discussion.

No, because the salt water is at sea level and the drinking water is at the level the ships need to rise to via the locks. Water flows out from a lake at 26 meters above sea level that is fed by a river that comes from the mountains by gravity.

Making the amounts of water that drains out from there move up requires massive amounts of energy. We're not talking a few little pipes here and there. The pumps and energy generation infrastructure project needed to get that done would probably rival or surpass the Panama canal in complexity, scale, and scope. It would be expensive and take a long time to build. Add to that the complexity of doing that while not shutting down the canal for a few years.

Basically the amount of water needed for the locks is a function of the amount of tonnage that ships through the canal and the altitude that ships needs to rise to. We're talking about pumping millions of tonnes of water up by 26 meters. Think something in the order of hundreds of gwh per day at least. Of course you could continue to rely on rivers for part of that. But still, it might be doable but it wouldn't be cheap.

That and the fact that pumping a lot of salt water would destroy large parts of the ecosystem in Panama is a reason that will likely never happen. The locals might object a bit to that. And they probably also rely on that water for drinking and agriculture.
It’s not completely wrong though. To be clear, I think basically any role can be meaningful to someone, depending on their views and upbringing.

However, some roles lend themselves more easily to find meaning in them, think e.g. roles with patient contact in health care. Or the gaming/entertainment industry.

As a consequence, the competition on the labor side is much fiercer, and as a consequence of that, pay is lower and the chance for exploitation is higher.

So the GP basically has stated the contraposition of this effect: you get paid more if you do (what most perceive as) less meaningful work.

Idc how old you are or what you studied if you can’t make a point with evidence. You can’t even read well since the title and article clearly mention it includes Russian influence operations.

“ Russian anti-Ukraine network spoofed Washington Post and Fox News

Separately, Meta said on Tuesday that it was continuing to take down fake accounts and ban fraudulent websites connected to a Russian influence operation aimed at eroding support for Ukraine.”

My point is obvious; that you think Russian influence operations were some one-off from years ago is a naive uneducated farce. They are over a decade long and continuous, somehow missed by all your age and studying.

Oh, very cool. My undergrad thesis project was a $20-of-materials device that turned EMG readings into mouse cursor movements, it's always interesting seeing new frontiers in computer input methods.

The source code was sadly lost in the great GitHub Christmas wipe of 2021, but it was really interesting to test it out on myself. Since EMG readings are 1-dimensional but cursor movement is 2-dimensional, I decided to make it a beat based system, like a rhythm game - a small flex moved the cursor proportionally, a large flex rotated the movement of the next cursor movement 90 degrees counterclockwise.
One consideration that helps local workers is the time zone; a remote company may yet choose to hire locally to reduce the time zone span.

Another is communication; companies want to hire people that can communicate fluently in a shared language.

But the best solution is to just become better at your job. The best programmers are all in the US, so it is easier to learn from them and join their ranks. If you are no better than the competition, then a company is justified in hiring in the cheaper labor.
I really like preserving english word order and just swapping out words for their lowest string distance portuguese equivalents, especially false cognates. I also forcefully transform english -ing and -er words into portuguese equivalents or completely new words if necessary. Everything comes out hilariously backwards and almost but not quite nonsensical, tortured yet parseable with mental error correction, like some portuguese newspeak. I especially like rendering book, movie and video game titles this way, especially to my english speaker friends who consume all this content in native english and aren't used to or look down on their translated portuguese versions.

I also really enjoy assembling portuguese words out of japanese phonemes. The pronunciation of japanese and portuguese is remarkably similar and I often find that even the most innocuous japanese vocabulary sounds like portuguese slang or swear words. Sometimes they sound like complete portuguese sentences. The full names of actual japanese people can sometimes be literally transcribed into extremely unfortunate portuguese sentences. Just imagine the amount of bullying targeted at Brazil's immense japanese immigrant population. At least one japanese word -- shoppai -- sounds to me like an english verb but with portuguese conjugation and my brain can't decide whether the radical is shop as in buy or shop as in photoshop, and it's such an archaic imperative first person plural conjugation I can't help but mentally imagine a catholic priest commanding his flock to digitally edit images during a church sermon. And that's the least offensive example I remember off the top of my head.

There used to be a website that would repeatedly pass a body of text through machine translation back and forth until it stabilized on some hilariously distorted result. I wish I could remember the domain name.
> If the Swedish theory is right, it is actually an "M" as worm is translated to "mask" in Swedish.

This obviously cannot be the case because, if you view the artwork of the worm, the letter accompanying it is a W.

If you instead orient the ball so that the letter might be an M, you find that the artwork for that letter is upside down.
“Gas power plants have repeatedly been shown to be vulnerable to extreme weather,”

Perhaps in Texas...

Gas powered plants work well, when they are designed properly to operate at cold temps. And Texas should have such plants, because you design critical infra for 100 year risk events.

So someone, some org, has some very poorly designed gas plants and infra in Texas. And poor design, means poorly thought out and planned, which means it can happen with any type of energy supply.

It's good to see Texas going green. But making silly claims that gas plants aren't stable is absurd.

Caustic (Optics)
The same happened to me (including the download of a stack of Slackware floppies, though I had a faster modem). In my case, it was because of a desire for true multitasking; under DJGPP, telling the IDE to use your Makefile to compile a project produced no output (and blocked the input so you couldn't do anything else) until the compilation finished. Installing Linux (using the UMSDOS pseudo-filesystem which allowed it to install on the DOS partition, plus the loadlin bootloader so it could be loaded from DOS; the choice of Slackware was because it had good support for UMSDOS) allowed me to keep the same compiler (GCC) while being able to do several things at once. After a while, I noticed I wasn't even using MS-DOS or Windows anymore (other than as a bootloader), so I erased one partition and did a native install (ext2 filesystem and booting through LILO).

You don’t fire contractors, their contract just ends. Additionally, the contract is often with the company, not the individual, so their employees aren’t in any legal sense working “for” you. If an employee wants to litigate, they’re opposing the contracting company, not you.

This comes with some downsides of its own, but generally this circumvents most labor issues. And of course anyone can sue for any reason, but if the argument is that the individual will pester you with lawsuits, can’t anyone do that to anyone else about anything?

> if they had actually been able to build them on the same node, and if AMD were willing to shell out for the same die size, it's likely that they could have achieved or exceeded the uplift.

I mean yeah, probably, but they haven't been able to despite apple coming out of nowhere to dominate the laptop cpu market in performance only a few years ago with their first release m1. If AMD were to shell out more, and be able to build them on the same node, that would probably entail significant R&D costs and costs for die size and possibly raise the price to the m3 max or m3 ultra (whenever that's released).

>Ryzen 7940HS and 7945HX are fairly close to the M3 16 core,

https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/apple-m3-vs-amd-ryzen-...
fair, i didn't know about these cpus, and it seems they absolutely destroy the base m3 in multicore performance. However, it looks like even the base m3 still far exceeds the 7945HX in igpu performance, power efficiency (probably because 3nm vs 5nm) and slightly beats the 7945HX in single core performance. And the Ryzen 9 is the best AMD has to offer right now, the M3 is the base model (apple still has the pro, the max and the soon to be released ultra). The price of 7945HX laptops also already seems a lot higher than base m3 macbooks (and again I think any ram upcharge is basically pure profit for Apple).

Now i haven't even mentioned AI cores. Even M1 series from years ago still seem far ahead of most laptop cpus today it seems for hobbyists running LLMS. I'm not sure if that's something the 7945HX competes vs Apple with?

Check the cost of power, cause the power draw may be costing a lot relative to the speed. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102839 indicates 115w idle or 146w idle, and 263 watt max or 309 watt max.

And that is for a machine that is likely slower / less performant than a modern one with much lower draw. Your power bills may thank you.
