>So if you fail to reproduce you will break that billion year old chain of evolutionary success.

I sincerely could not care less. As far as I'm concerned, my blood ends with me. I have absolutely no interest in continuing this endless cycle of bullshit.

You are welcome to have babby, of course, and to also do so in my stead if you are exceedingly concerned about the population count that I won't help grow or maintain, I ain't stopping you since what you do in your bedroom is none of my business (and vice versa, if the above wasn't clear enough).
Yes, sorry, hot water system.
> current draw at startup and while running

That tells you that the device needs to be on a circuit with a slow-blow fuse or circuit breaker. Motors draw more current during startup. Look up "inrush current" and "motor protection circuit breaker".

(Starting AC electric motors is surprisingly difficult. Tesla's big contribution to electrical technology was figuring out how to start AC motors simply, cheaply, and reliably.)

>If you love games, that's great.. but why not go work in literally any other software dev work for maybe 2x the pay and/or 1/2 the hours.

1. Work is still half your waking life for decades. Why not attempt to make it quality work instead of a slog if you can help it?

2. Less money =/= barely afford rent. I was still making $160k at my last role with 7YOE, so we're not talking "can barely pay rent". I'm a single 20's male with no car or school payments to make, and pretty low maintenance hobbies (hiking, games, art). Even in a high CoL area, doubling my salary won't necessarily double my QoL.

3. Gamedev is still a craft, so the more time you spend honing it the better a dev you become (generally). Even if I chose to leave gamedev as hobby work on the side, it reduces my ability to progress.

4. Gamedev works on similar "it's who you know" logic. And the best way to connect with fellow devs in a meaningful matter is to be in the industry. If you have aspirations to open your own studio one day these connections and portfolio is priceless for selling yourself to others.

5. Playing a game is very different from making one. Just because you like playing games doesn't mean you will enjoying making one yourself. The opposite can be true as well. Gamedev digs into domains like graphics, physics, UI/UX, and even psychology in applied ways that challenge engineers, even ones who rarely play games. A graphics programmer is a wizard who will be snatched by many industries if they open up, but if you wanna home your craft, you don't have too many other places for such specific work. Games, 3d animation, GPUs, and a few research labs (often looking for PhDs though).
> won't stop the hostilities

It would undermine a lot of Israel’s international support. At the end of the day, the Houthis aren’t in Gaza. Them raising random asks is orthogonal to the security threat they pose. Piracy is piracy.
The collision problem always makes me wonder if we miss something obvious. It's so hard to solve it mathematically/algorithmically specially when a lot of vertices are involved, yet give the same problem to a semi awake brain and can immediately give you the right answer.
Now the Houthis are facing a competent military, that is so infused with progressive moralism that it can't use any of its competencies, and is very careful not to kill any Houthis.

Unless this paradigm breaks very soon, Houthis seem favored to win. Pretty easy to win against a military which bogus morality won't let it harm you, its enemy.
from what i have seen lately, journalists carry with them small SLA batteries and inverters. they will charge these off panels when needed to stay charged for a couple days at a time
One thing that seems to be confirmed over and over is how people who come up with "just negotiate with them" seem to have a thinking process that does not span over a couple of days

Funny how those people never seem to have any reservations to what hamas did, or any of the history of the past 20 yrs
> intelligent mature people make policy based on real-politik

The Khashoggi affair was stupid and incompetent enough to call into question Riyadh’s qualifications as our chief regional ally.

Their subsequent de facto defeat in Yemen underscores that their value is in oil first and maybe geography second.
No, they are - whether we like it or not - a legitimate player in Yemen. The US has interacted with the Houthis before, at the very least via its regional allies.

Perl5 does its final destruction similarly, only when it has important destructors (like IO, DB handles and such) to call.
Ah yes so nice of them to worry about Gaza, I'm sure it's all due to how pure of heart they are /s

> Bombing Yemen will do nothing to stop attacks on commercial shipping

This is bully logic. It can escalate the conflict, yes, but destruction of artillery and missiles works
> Personally, I pay for content and services that I find value adding... That said: I am never going to pay for YouTube... I am going to keep on my ad-blocker.

So let me get this straight: you proudly claim that you pay for services which provide you value. But you don't think its hypocritical that you use YouTube with an ad-blocker and avoid paying for the subscription?

If you keep going back and using it, then it IS providing you with value. You might argue that the value is very small, but it's also not a big inconvenience to watch a few ads. You're still consuming content without contributing anything back.

Your opinion represents everything that stops progress: The idea that we can use moral instead of sane legislation.

I never said I was morally wrong. I merely said that I did not have a moral upper hand. I think I am morally indifferent.

> you must pay all of your music and other content, then

I do in fact pay for my music. I do in fact have news paper subscriptions. I don't think you got my point: I don't both want to pay for my cake on not eat it.

If I pay for content, it should not have sponsorships.

But then again, I did not grow up with paying for satellite TV while also being fed ads 20% of the time watching shows riddled with product placement. In Denmark we have proper public service offerings (that people pay for). In Denmark indie artists regularly receive grants to work on their art.

On the point of supporting artists, by virtue of being a European, I probably have the moral upper hand.
The author does not mention at all the extensive bombing campaign conducted by Saudi Arabia, backed by the US and chooses to focus on the Iranian logistical support.

Context free discussion ia useless in geopolitics.
They keep proxy organizations in every failed or quasi state in the region such as Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen.

As these are non-state actors using civilian infrastructure, the international legal order cannot handle these, as they are not party to any law.
Therefore when a western aligned country needs to fight these they are in an extreme disadvantage. Any real attack will kill the civilians whose infrastructure said organizations are providing and misusing, eventually pressured to stop retaliating. This was used by Iran in Saudis/UAE vs Houthis, Israel vs Lebanon/Hamas or US vs Iraq.

The approach of having a full fledged state yet declaring it is not a state gave them invisibility, allowing these organizations to grow in strength. Due to their extreme ideology and brinkmanship, ironically this still means someone will need to fight these eventually (see Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis), but in a much greater civilian loss than when was possible previously.

Later on, Iran improved this strategy by creating an alliance of these organizations. They train each other and have planned to fight together in the case of war (partially successful in the last conflict). Currently, they are on the verge of losing two such proxies (Hamas, PIJ) and are in the risk of another one (Hezbollah), and that's why Iran is trying to exert pressure on western countries through attacking civilian shipping.

the brain and eyes are massively parallel devices with stochastic ray tracing simulated for free.

If you can brute-force raycasts without paying the computational burden then collision is an embarrassingly parallel problem.

On the other hand, calculating collision on a computer is akin to a blind man feeling his way through a scene carefully checking against every object.

The blind man has to simulate his own raytracing with his hands, unless he can perform echolocation which once again is basically lower-resolution raytracing.

It does make me wonder though whether newer generation GPU focused on raytracing could finally bring hardware acceleration to collision?
One of my favorite books is Real-Time Collision Detection[1] which covers this and other adjacent topics(like cache line aware data structures!). I generally refer to it as "data structures for 2D/3D" and I think only the Art of Electronics has more value on a page-by-page basis for the domains I've enjoyed.

I've come across similar issues with OEM installs before, where it simply will not boot if anything but the OEM's factory image is installed by the OEM's install disks.

Profoundly annoying, but, thankfully not commonplace and those couple times it's happened to me I've been in the return window, so, back they went. I figure that's as big of an FU as I can muster, the OEM dealing with a higher than normal return rate.

Live performances are great! But the average person listen to hundreds of different artists through Spotify, and they most certainly don't go to the live performances of all those artists.

I'm not advocating for Spotify in particular. If you can support the musicians more directly, that's even better! But it's not fair to pay nothing, block ads, and then keep consuming content without giving anything back.
ill get any open source that gets the job done thx
I second this wholeheartedly.

As a toy project I put a raspi with a small screen in my living room that would show the temperature and humidity for the last three days as a graph. It was somewhat of an eye catcher in the living room. The data was always interesting. Even if the humidity did not change much, at the very least you could always see that it was colder during the nights, which told me it was working.

It taught me so many things.
The effect of opening the windows short vs. long on temperature and humidity.
That the sun shining into my room was way more effective then my heating.
How the temperature goes down exponentially when my heating turns off, and how the length of the of/off cycles depend on the temperature outside. Etc.
This is the hard reality. There is no putting this genie back in the bottle.

The only way to be an artist now is to have a unique style of your own, and to never make it online.
Wait but find isn't a builtin command right? What do you mean by the odds and ends of GNU find not being there? That doesn't depend on the shell, it's an external program being called.

I live in a country where more than 80% of my salary goes to redistribution. That redistribution also finances artists through grants, education.

I do not believe in your rather narrow sighted way of thinking about how one pays for the artists - that is has to be private, directly for the service, and on commercial terms.

Especially since "me and many people in tech" has probably supported artists way more than you ever will by watching a Sneakers ad.

I don’t know enough to have an opinion on the ongoing conflicts near that region. So I’ll abstain from commenting on that.

But what I will say is that this corridor is extremely important for international trade across many nations. Securing it, for purely monetary reasons, might escalate this much more than for ideological differences.
It is, but the style and production methods are controlled by Americans, unless they have direction and storyboarding being done in Korea as well.

I'm not sure how payscales work for Korean outsourcing vs Western animation, though I guess I'd like to know.
Rigging is usually a multiple of the load it experiences normally, depends on the locality. For something holding humans, 10x load plus harnesses is common.

This was clearly under specced, and that's why we have spec for such things, to prevent this.
Musk's Threat to Tesla Is Countered by Reality
This is an insightful example because it's kind of "wrong at the higher level". It follows the spec. Every formal verification method will confirm that.

It's the spec that is wrong. Obviously I mean the "replaces digits with zeros" spec, which does not follow the "doesn't leak data" spec.

The root problem is that "doesn't leak data" is hard to define in a way that can be formally verified. This is a fundamental problem, not an incidental one.

They can win just as so many others have in the past - outlasting the resolve of the U.S. I think that the best that can be hoped for here (from the U.S. perspective) is to diminish the Houthi's capacity to launch missiles and drones until Israel has finished whatever it is they are trying to accomplish in Gaza.

I really want to be outspoken here.

There is a conspiracy against your natural destinies.

Many.

Let's take this most obvious for example, the conspiracy to deny there are conspiracies.

It may be called intellectually lazy or dishonest. Or perhaps a false sense of assurance that the most normalized conventionally adherent ideas are safe.

If the karma killers will allow me to run with this a little, I offer a retort.

You live a lie.

Your life is a lie.

All that you believe of this world is a lie.

You live a bankrupt lie.

A borrowed lie.

A lie too big to fail. One which lumbers on at the expense of the lives of others.

Which lie? There are so many. The biggest lie is one masking a great taboo. One in which truth is so adamantly deniable merely speaking of it relegates the claimant to crazy delusional crackpot insanity.

We are not alone in our own minds.

There is a secret which is as old as civilization, and perhaps it is pointless to even describe as it will do you little good in its discovery.

This reveal explains all other conspiracies in new light, as those postulating before merely could not comprehend the true nature of their actuality.

I tell you there is a secret governance of thought control, a log established culture by which those conditioned by a lifetime of specialized development have the ability to circumnavigate our minds. The ability (many separate and divergent abilities) to infiltrate our minds and reshape our conceptual perceptions from within.

There is a secret war within us, one shooting up our kids in schools, fomenting conflicts (race hate), spreading corruption for fun and for profit, and taking the place of God in our minds.

This conspiracy is American Thought Control, and these wage a war upon us which we have already lost.
Income differences in India are staggering.

A trained bus driver carrying school kids in Jaipur, a state capital city of over 6M, gets paid $200/month.

A security guard in the same school would get paid $125/month.

The income for a mid career middle management professional in a good job would be 30-60x higher.

Imagine getting paid 50x higher than your maid or bus driver or grocery store worker. Now imagine how that would rot your social structure

Yes, that's the whole point I was trying to make. Without history of the why we tend to make the same mistakes all over again. Extracting the why is much more difficult than simply writing a book, there are psychological prompts to do that
I started writing desktop apps for DOS 35 years ago. Transitioned to Windows in the mid 90s. Started adding serious Web interfaces in 2006.

Unfortunately though your question is too vague for me to respond to in detail.

In general, I'd say that selling software for any platform is much harder than writing the software. I recommend finding customers before coding.

Second, I'd recommend being laser focused. Decide what the program will do. Stick to that. Don't get trapped in the "if it just did x I would buy it" messaging.

Too often I see programs that are difficult to explain, and have weird interfaces because the developer didn't say no to himself as feature creep happened.

I think small[er] scale injection molding has a ton of potential for local/recycled/lower volume projects that 3d printing isn't necessarily suited for. Brothersmakes [1] sells recycled plastic combs and more using a similar process, products that really wouldn't work well with any modern 3d printer. I've seen similar projects for disc golf discs as well from TrashPanda. [2] The market for hyper-local small scale products is growing, and I think downscaling injection molding fits in well to this. I could order a custom steel mold (that I've designed) from a machine shop for a few hundred bucks, and with an injection machine and a supply of some plastics, conceivably make a few thousands parts on a relatively short time scale, with minimal manual labor.

Who said you had to create schedules as a part of accumulating information? If by schedule, you mean that a you've created a long list of topics that you haven't learned and feel you should, then of course that will feel intimidating.

But playing a game and learning about a game are two separate activities. The key is to spend your time actually playing the game. Playing the game consistently will feed the drive to learn more about it, and if both of those things feel like a chore, then why are you doing it in the first place?
this must be eating battery like crazy...id like one that takes a picture at intervals (say every 15s) and also runs while on standby, or with the screen switched off

I agree with this. As someone who grew up in India and now live in the U.S, i'm very scared whenever i visit India. Human lives have very little value in India.

i can think of two aircraft accidents in the past 15yrs that could have been avoided (at least the second one if they learned from the first incident and if safety was a priority). I'm talking about the Mangalore airport accident in 2010 and the Calicut airport accident in 2020. Both have tabletop runways and i believe both planes skidded off the runway under poor weather conditions. if they learned something from the first accident, they would have deployed countermeasures (something like an arresting mechanism to stop the planes from skidding off. i forgot the technical term for it).

when i was a kid, i remember hearing about rickshaw accidents frequently. most of the time, these rickshaws pack 10-15 children when 5 kids could barely sit comfortably.

i'm sure i can think of many more examples showing lack of value for human life.
Yeah, no one ever wanted to overthrow democratically elected government in Iran, no one ever had interest in wrecking Libya, Syria... It's all just their imagination.
