Fully opensource the game is not probable, if the engine they build is so easy, then you could have a chance to reimplement the engine. The optimal solution would be a bunch of binaries that run without assets an ask the users to provide the path where the original game is to use the assets.

he is talking about blood ties, that means siblings, parents and other relatives, not his wife.

i have a good relationship to one of my brothers, and no relationship at all to the other. likewise i have no relationship at all with my dads family. mostly because they are all much older. the few cousins my age i wasn't able to connect to for unknown reasons, even though i went to school with at least one of them. on the other hand i have a fabulous relationship with one of the cousins on my mothers side, despite not growing up together, nor having seen each other for decades. the difference? character and upbringing i guess. i also have a great relationship with his parents despite serious religious differences. my own parents? loyal, supportive but distant. i do have few good friends, who are quite clearly closer than many relatives. how could it even be otherwise? the closest is my partner, well, because, she wouldn't be my partner otherwise.

all-in-all, i am not very close to most of my family, something which my partner and their family could not understand at all. the mere idea of not being close to family was completely alien to them.

and in the end, this lack of closeness affected me greatly throughout my life.

so i value those that appreciate my presence. regardless of how we are related.

I caution over-saturating the metaphor[0]. I think the author (and majority of readers) are smart enough to know that video games aren't 100% accurate representations of reality. They're games after all. However, as a medium, much like fiction novels, it can be used to explain ideas and get points across in a way that people can relate to.

[0]: Not that I sanction such behavior but there is an entire criminal element that more or less does exactly this in society no? There in fact, are people that want to do this on some level. At any rate, you can take any metaphor, and over-saturate its meaning to the point of being meaningless.
Go ask a European. Who are the three EU presidents? Who were the EU presidents before them? Then ask them who is the current US president? And which presidents were before him? Which are the two top candidates in the 2024 election?
It's hard to let them eat cake when the cake is a lie.
that sounds a bit harsh but also.. true?

E.g. the upcoming releases for steam[0] show eleven popular games coming out in the next three days, and it's a single platform.

I didn't know this had nothing to do with Datalog - just extremely annoying (and not your fault) that we are 7 comments deep.

I think we called it C&C back in the day, constructive criticism. Just was missing the constructive part.

While that could be considered true, isn't it the same as saying "playing the satar" is a shitty surrogate hobby for people who are too afraid to travel and explore other cultures?

A good hobby will positively affect one's live, be a source of personal pride and sense of accomplishment. You can be the guy who obsesses about metallurgy and makes the sharpest knifes in your basement. Consequently that gets you to brag about it to your referent group and make you feel a sense of joy, apart from the joy you feel when you do the crafting itself.

Similar with traveling - immersing yourself in foreign cultures and trying to understand them is very much akin to endeavouring to learn a new programming language, or starting an open source project to test out some cool tech. With luck you'll get something tangible (photos and videos of trip / git repo with cool code), will have the memory of the joy you felt with the exploration and will have something to talk about with your referent group.

Sure there are people who abuse traveling to make it for the status rather than for the joy, but isn't that true with everything?

In the end, if it brought you joy, and you didn't harm anyone, it would could be worthwhile to you. And an old folk saying I've heard ones said "whatever you eat and drink nobody can take away from you". Its the experience that matter.
Wow, really good job with this satire account!
I almost got my degree on astrophysics. Yes, I read a lot of bad and good textbooks. This one is rather brilliant, lucid, and well done.

But I have to follow up with:
"Well, but... how do we really know?"
A: We have followed up well worn paths of scientific inquiry, and looked at our assumptions, in designing an experiment that, we assume to fail. When it does not follow our assumption, then we can only rule out failure, and call it a success. This follows centuries of this type of exacting and painstaking scientific work. Although I would normally have 10 ~ 12 citations of very diverse work, that exercise is left to the reader.

I think one of the arguments here is that we do not know how thinking in the human brain works, so we can't say that something else doesn't do something similar.
Yeah, fair point – I couldn’t think of a better word, that’s why I wrapped it in quotes. I’ve tried to simplified the phrasing:

I've always thought that any service that gets delivered over media strung on a telephone pole aught to be regulated as a utility. There are only so many cables you can hang off a pole before it becomes a technical and aesthetic problem.

I submit that the same goes for satellites in orbit. How many 5000+ constellations will there be around the planet before we run into space congestion/traffic and aesthetic problems?
That's great. I still suggest caution even you try to test it, but having that a background with wms like that makes you less likely than most to hose your setup...
Why would you not? What is malice if not intentionally harming people out of greed? Is it only malice if the intention is explicitly and strictly sadistic?
Disagree there. Humans have massive compute, dual optics, and amazing filters.

Computer vision has 1-2 of those three, and I don't think we are near an AGI for self driving yet. Driving is IMO, an AGI level task.

OP said “mostly” not “solely”. I think this is probably accurate.
Canada has a “points-based” immigration system - you get points for various factors (university degrees, in-demand skills, etc), and anyone who gets over the cutoff can immigrate permanently. A lot easier to navigate and understand than the US rules. Hence, on a per capita basis, its immigration rate is 2-3 times that of the US.

Australia and New Zealand are other countries with a points-based system. Australia likewise has much higher immigration than US, although currently not quite as high as Canada. New Zealand’s immigration levels have historically been higher than the US too, although the last few years have been a COVID-induced anomaly. (Again, when I say higher, I mean per capita - in absolute terms the US comes first globally, but per capita it is only about average.)

Yes, Read the Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow.
A constant in history is the arbiters of power abusing trust to push their truths. The modern systems aren’t any more honest - they’re just better at making people think they are.

Ultimately this is a pointless argument though. Humans are flawed and can never truly know what is true - we don’t know what we don’t know. Today’s truths (even if arrived upon honestly) may not be tomorrow’s.

A sad truth is that it's likely impossible to be (effectively) pro-natalist outside of totalitarianism. For instance, China had no trouble lowering their fertility rate to nearly 1, but they've since found it difficult to raise it back up. And they're not exactly a gentle government. Even Best Korea has Glorious leader crying and begging for people to have more children.

On 4chan, they have some laughably bad conspiracy theories about it, and while I don't subscribe to those, we clearly have some very effective (accidental) propaganda that discourages people from procreating. But banning that propaganda isn't compatible with free speech, and so I think that it's virtually impossible for anyone to do anything about this in the West. What surprises me is that even China and North Korea apparently can't handle it either.

It's not even easy to talk about. Any attempt is seen as (at best) thinly veiled racism. I think that even if you didn't care about natalism, that you still might not want your population to triple. Isn't the housing crisis already absurd in the Toronto region as it is? This can't be in the interest of any Canadian, no matter their skin color.
Great post!
Also, TIL that South Africans call their water heaters "geysers". ;-)
Yes but the original point is that 'competent front-end devs' aren't needed in this case, so they can get away with the bottom of the barrel.
It's distressing. 30 years ago if you bought cheap you got cheap and maybe you get lucky or not. If you paid extra you got solid. Now there isn't much correlation. You can pay dear and get junk. And cheap is worse than it used to be. And the middle seems gone where you can buy something low frills and solid.

I remember a guys essay about buying a new toaster. Turned out all the toasters he looked at had the exact same commodity mechanism. $15 toaster, $80 toaster they're the same inside.

If it were up to me any appliance that's under 10 years old that gets dropped off at the dump would be shipped to the manufacturer at their expense to dispose of. Bonus the dump charges them a handling fee.
First app I see in the wild that only supports iOS 17. Maybe I will upgrade some day.
Rival is the wrong word. It's based on scarcity. Satellite-to-smartphone is a massive market, with plenty of opportunity to go around for the foreseeable future. It would be stupid to enter such a large and growing market and believe you're going to immediately punch the reigning 800 lbs gorilla straight in the mouth. That's senseless.
Yes exactly. Basically trying to replicate some of the clinical trials in my bedroom lol.

I would suggest reading notice 2023-63. That provision is very limited, and may not be available to you at all depending on the software you're developing, and/or the stage of the development that those steps occur in.

For example, for a new feature: if you plan (SRE), design the interface (SRE), write the feature (SRE), run it through QA (SRE), and then discover a bug and correct it -- that's still SRE.

If you put the software into prod, then discover a bug, then fix it (without improving performance or adding any functionality), then it might not be SRE.

But if you sell software, and you sell or install a release to a customer, and they (or you, under a support contract) discover a bug and fix it... but then you include the fix in your next release, probably SRE.

Or, if you put the software into prod, discover it breaks with a large data set, and you fix it by improving the performance of that section of code, probably SRE.

The expenses falling under that provision aren't going to make a significant change to the impact of TCJA on software development.

Huh? Snapchat uses TLS encryption for all data in transit, regardless of whether it's text, photos, or videos. This means that all forms of data are encrypted when they are being transmitted between your device and Snapchat's servers.
You don't. Change when it feels right. Stagnation is a good indicator that it's time to grow again. Just aim for something that sounds good for the next few years, not the rest of your life.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the definition of illness. Seems to be so loosely defined that it can be either a disease or a patient's personal experience, including "lethargy, depression, loss of appetite, sleepiness, hyperalgesia, and inability to concentrate", which (possibly excluding hyperalgesia, I've not heard of that before now) are associated with aging.

Regardless of if "illness" is or is not a terminological inexactitude, it looks like ageing is a chronic progressive terminal genetic disorder. I think "cure" is an appropriate term in this case.
Ask them to open source the critical libraries, as little as possible, but keep the game and most of the code proprietary.

There is a good precedent for "open code but closed license," with Barotrauma being one of the most successful examples. Just dropping your engine code is not going to get a game copycatted and hacked instantly. Barotrauma is even a multiplayer game with public lobbies!

At the same time, getting your code to a state where one can open source it is not trivial for various reasons.

Another alternative is to do what countless modders have done: Hack into the compiled code yourself and try to optimize it. This is above my paygrade, but its done more frequently than one would think.
Its not just that but the same people complaining about movies, art and books being copywritten, also seem to be against AIs using it.

A lot (most?) people like to work.

Of course, some people hate to work, and some people have crappy jobs no matter how much flexibility they have.
A deeper question would be to examine if your product mindshare would grow significantly if your product were open source, and if this growth would lead to a combination kf the following that would overcome the loss is subscribers: 1) Contributions from the community (bug reports, code, promotion, documentation, and feedback are all valuable contributions, but they take work to leverage, and some companies choose not to put in the work). 2) More users means more potential subscribers to the cloud and support licenses. (What percent of these new users would convert to paid support licenses or cloud hosting customers?). 3) Other new ways to garner financial support from the community? (Patronage, paid feature development, ???).
I assume you meant "plenty of small businesses". On what margin?
I think you want controls around:

0) Load - I'm too loaded right now, I'm not processing your message. Maybe another worker will. This might be enqueued back into the low latency queue.

1) Role Limit - You've sent too many messages in too short of a time, I'm dequeueing this into the high latency queue.

2) Cost Limit - You've sent too many expensive messages, I'm dequeing this into the high latency queue.

3). Deadletter- Your messages are failing to be processed. We're going to dequeue into deadletter and maybe we're going stop processing them for for now.

So you have the normal low latency queue, the high latency backlog queue, and the deadletter queue. Ideally you have SLOs around end to end queue times and monitoring/alerting to let you and your senders know their expectations may be not being met (i.e 99% of messages are processed within n MS).
Unfortunately, the parallax method depends on knowing the diameter of Earth's orbit, which is (except for a factor of two) the value we are seeking. There's also the issue that the change the Sun's position with respect to the stars over six months is about 180 degrees (with some fluctuation, perhaps, depending on where the earth is in relation to its orbit's major axis when the measurement begins), and will be regardless of the Sun's distance.

The distance of Venus was measured by the parallax method during a transit, with a baseline on the Earth's surface. This then yields all the other planets' distances from their orbital periods. This has me wondering why this had not been done for the Sun's distance, and perhaps the first reason to be considered is the difficulty of observing the Sun eclipsing distant stars.

Update: According to Wikipedia [1], Jeremiah Horrocks came up with reasonable figures for both the size of Venus and the distance of the Earth from the Sun from a single observation of a transit, but the article says he made use of a false premise, so does that just mean he was lucky?

It's really annoying market segmentation :( more than 1 external monitor is not a feature that should be restricted to "pro" models imo.
I understand why one wouldn't make software open-source. It's difficult to make a profit from software then. You either have to charge for a service, similar to Red Hat, or charge a subscription for continuous updates (for the convenience).

Sure, under the GPL, you can charge for access to the source code, but if someone wants, they can pay and then post it online freely, which then may undercut the business.

It would be nice if there were some compromise, like if after 10-20 years without being updated, the source code of software weren't protected by copyright anymore.

Edit: Then again, Aseprite is open-source, yet people still buy it on Steam instead of compiling it themselves. It seems like people will pay for binaries out of convenience, too.

"Is there any reason why there's a "server" or "serverless servers"?"

Yes, you can not run compute processes without compute. A server is where that compute happens. Serverless is a concept that your function will run on "some" compute, that you don't have to manage. It does, however, require compute. So running that function on your mobile device, a server, a fridge, all within the realms of possible. You still, in the end, need compute to execute the code.

Decentralized compute (running on your devices or someone else's) is what serverless is (only, it's wrapped behind a service offering so it's not completely decentralized).
That would be unfortunate, but not something I'd lose sleep over. Choose your battles and all that.
