Yes, sounds very similar. For me, my earliest two memories are the following: a dream-like memory of my mum leaving and me being distraught and confused, and then the oft-told "funny" story of my dad hiding away in my bathroom while I was screaming sticking my fingers under the door.

For a long time I thought I had no trauma, because I was not abused and suffered no violence, but now I realise that's a very naive view.

After a few years I visited my mum every other weekend, which was confusing and stressful for me, since I loved being there so much, but it created a kind of tension between my "real life" with my dad, and this dream place I would go to every other weekend.

When I was a teenager the symptoms of the trauma started appearing. I was very jealous and depressed. Even today, even though I am happily married, I feel somehow hurt and confused if I think about other people having sex. I'm quite lucky I managed to get with my now-wife at 18, because she "straightened me out" in many ways.

And regarding my wife (then girlfriend), I would so often get really worried she was going to leave or that I'd upset her. I would ask constantly "are you okay?" or "have I upset you?", she was very frustrated by it. But of course, it makes perfect sense, my fundamental worldview is that the people you deeply love go away, and of course I blamed myself.

So I now find it difficult to get close to people, because I'm scared of getting hurt like that original pain. And I'm convinced everything is my fault, and every failure reminds me of that initial "failure" where, in my own subjective thinking, I was bad enough that I pushed her love away. Therefore, if I feel a sense of struggle, it literally feels like the world is ending, since that is the original fear.

This all came to a head in 2022 and 2023 when I moved to Germany and started having issues with my Physics postdoc work, and was not receiving any help from my boss. I really spiralled down into a deep sense of hopelessness, and just kind of accepted that my world had ended. I stopped going into work because as an academic no one cares if you're there anyway, and eventually I had to take extended sick leave. I'm now finally climbing out again, and I have hope again, but it has taken hundreds of hours of work with my therapist, and we've now upgraded to three sessions a week, which are definitely worth it. I'm very glad to have moved from the UK to Germany, there is absolutely zero chance I would have gotten this support in the UK, and I get my therapy totally for free too. I think she thinks I'm a reasonably worthy case for it though...

The fact I can type any of the stuff I just did is entirely a result of the therapy. At the beginning I was just purely confused. I had no idea what was wrong.
>When a mere fraction of our spending benefits the actual people in need, wtf are we doing.

Giving jobs to the people "worthy" of a non-profit position (unemployable anywhere else). Which isn't to say that non-profits are particularly useless, just that a large swath of jobs in the US are just there so that someone's friend or family member or neighbor won't become destitute. If you're not in the network? Tough luck.

Yes the writing is often an afterthought and besides the point, but most of the games people are listing here are kind of proving the author's point, especially BG3. Games with great stories sell better and have a longer shelf life than games with bad stories, so there's no reason not to invest in quality writing. Look at what's happening with Starfield.

It is reasonable for adjoining countries to control their borders, e.g. Egypt and Israel's borders with Palestine. Countries get to control their borders.

Israel takes it a step further and blockades Palestinian access to Palestinian sea routes, something which isn't just a declaration of war, it's an act of war.

If you read the article it basically says "not really directly".

> "It might seem that reversing a sprinkler is not of much practical interest, admits Ristroph, “since we don’t need to ‘unwater’ our lawns.” But he says that there are applications in fluid mechanics in which it is important to be able to precisely control flows ejected from devices and to understand how this process modifies the forces they experience, for example, in technologies that harvest energy from flowing air or water."

This is a problem that gets into the noise of a system and isn't directly "first principals", but your intuition by the fact this has been around for decades and was spawned from a though experiment should tell you that this wasn't particularly high priority to solve in the first place. It is an interesting academic thing to ponder, though.
He was there at the right times: back when the internet became generally available and there weren't many easily downloadable games; Back when Steam got started but didn't have so much content - indie titles could soar.

JamesDSP Plugin for ALSA
Many Android users may be aware of the JamesDSP audio processing system. So here it is implemented as a plugin for good old Linux ALSA without any intermediate frameworks like Pulsaudio or Pipewire.
I know there are ports of JamesDSP for Pulsaudio and Pipewire (Audio4Linux project). So what's the rationale for this one you ask? I have a DIY smart speaker system (https://github.com/faust93/RIVA-Festival-DIY-Info) built around ARM single-board computer (NanoPi NEO) and I need a system with minimal footprint and all these audio frameworks on top of ALSA such as PulseAudio are simply overkill in that case.
DSP properties can be controlled in real-time using CLI interface or using simple WebUI - https://github.com/faust93/alsa-jamesdsp-gui
So I hope it will be useful for those who use just plain ALSA for whatever reasons. :)

You're describing an artisan/craftsperson. They are professions of slight artistic variation inside a manual product frame, supported by customers who want/need to buy from small producers.

My mom is a ceramist, and she would much rather make 100 identical (to me) teacups than one ambitious sculpture. The sculpture might even eventually pay more. I don't get it either, but some people enjoy this path.
There is a general belief by some that paying customers should have a better experience than people getting it for free. Waiting 18 months or having a version with DRM that will stop working if/when the company decides to turn off their servers, providing the player software, or hasn’t bothered supporting your preferred device, is a worse customer experience.
Spotify, the company best known for paying artists almost nothing for their music.

I've never been to Israel but have friends there. I disagree with 'most', they are very resilient and will not leave their home. I offered my home to one mother with a newborn while they were living in a bunker. They would rather stay at home with rockets hitting them than flee.

Seems pretty reasonable since they have paid nothing for a giant distribution mechanism for almost 15 years.

One of the chief complaints about the 15/30% fee has been that people like Meta pay nothing and are subsidized by everyone else.

> How?

Well you build OpenSSL as a static library, and you use that...

> Take for instance OpenSSL mentioned above.

However for something like OpenSSL on a distro like Debian, I really don't get why one would want it: it is most definitely distributed by Debian in the core repo. But yeah, I do link OpenSSL statically for Android and iOS (where anyway the system does not provide it). That's fairly straightforward, I just need to build OpenSSL myself.

> My requirement is that I do only one build

You want to make only one build that works with both OpenSSL 1 and OpenSSL 3? I am not sure I understand... the whole point of the major update is that they are not compatible. I think there is fundamentally no way (and that's by definition) to support two explicitly incompatible versions in the same build...
I've had less luck with Mixtral, but I run Yi 34B finetunes for general personal use, including quick queries for work.

Its kinda like GPT 3.5, with no internet access and slightly less reliable responses, but unrestrained, much faster and with a huge (up to 75K on my Nvidia 3090) usable context.

Mixtral is extremely fast though, at least at a batch size of 1.

>What's baffling is the eSIM market seems to be substantially less competitive - you can almost always buy a local physical SIM with far more data for the same price

Which countries? Of the few countries I traveled to, the cheapest esim (by using a esim comparison site) is cheaper than local sims for any reasonable amount of data (eg. 3 GB for a 2 week trip). The local sims sold at the airport might be "cheaper" on a per-GB basis, but they come with absurd amounts of data that you couldn't possibly use (eg. 30GB) so they are more expensive in actuality.
I mean, given the study they shouldn't be trusted as a single night measure of absolute sleep quality however I don't know of anyone who uses them as such. You use them over long periods of time to either get aggregate statistics to compare against baseline or track personal changes over time.

edit: Also, the last time I did a sleep study at home it had rather little correlation to how I normally sleep except in terms of apnea. Having wires, electrodes, a chest strap and a finger O2 monitor strapped to me did not lead to a pleasant night of sleep.
> It really matters what are the provisional measures that were voted - South Africa asked several measures that would stop the the war, allow independent parties to enter Gaza and arrest Israeli officials. They got none of that.

They didn't ask for anything about anyone arresting Israeli officials (who mostly would be in Israel, not Gaza), they asked for non-interference with international agencies entering Gaza for fact-finding and evidence preservation. Specifically, they asked:

The State of Israel shall take effective measures to prevent the destruction and ensure the preservation of evidence related to allegations of acts within the scope of Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide; to that end, the State of Israel shall not act to deny or otherwise restrict access by fact-finding missions, international mandates and other bodies to Gaza to assist in ensuring the preservation and retention of said evidence.

But on that topic the court ordered:

The State of Israel shall take effective measures to prevent the destruction and ensure the preservation of evidence related to allegations of acts within the scope of Article II and Article III of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide against members of the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip;
Jesus, in my mind the first thing you do there is arrest a bunch of people and nationalize (or statenize I guess, or whatever the word would be) the company.
> Are you under the mistaken impression that this feature is already implemented in mobile Safari on iOS 17.3?

The blog post didn't mention iOS at all. I'm glad to hear that the feature is coming in the future, though it's strange that the blog post didn't mention it, and also strange that they didn't implement it in 17.0 at the same time as desktop.
> "iPadOS" runs iOS apps, and iOS apps can be full fledged "iPadOS" apps with a single binary. The distinction is a business distinction, not a technical one.

That’s a rather weak argument, because the exact same thing can be said about running iOS/iPadOS apps on macs with ARM chips (aka any macs made since 2020).

Yes, you can literally go to the iOS/iPadOS section of the App Store on macOS, and for devs that enabled that checkbox during the build of their app, you can install those apps on your mac and run with a single click.

We have written proof-of-concepts for how incremental rebuilds will work in the Zig compiler, which can achieve incredible speed. Let's say you change a single constant value in a function (e.g. you change a string). The rebuild process looks something like this:

* We re-run the `AstGen` pass on the modified file, which is responsible for generating our first IR. `AstGen` is pretty fast - on a ~38k line file, it takes 0.25s on my laptop, so we can guess that for a ~1k line file (much more typical) it'll take under 10ms.

* We identify changes and do some logic on the dependency graph of functions and declarations to figure out what might be outdated. In this case, we would find that only the changed function is outdated.

* We re-run semantic analysis (`Sema`) on that function. For a small function, this is a trivial amount of time, probably on the order of a single millisecond. This generates our second IR.

* We re-run `CodeGen` on the updated IR for this function. This will take a similar amount of time to `Sema`, perhaps around 1ms.

* We directly perform the necessary patches to the final binary; appending the new machine code to the binary, updating the GOT entry to refer to it, and updating any modified debug info.

This whole process is on the order of milliseconds. This is not hypothetical: this is just how long the compiler pipeline takes to do certain things. We have a lot of work to do with tying these bits together for incremental rebuilds to work, but I do not predict any big losses compared to this performance estimate.

This is really a great tool. You can also link against librclone if you need to use it as part of a larger application or do something more complex with it than scripting.
Sometimes the C solution is made more complex because of its limitations w.r.t. what is included in the standard library and semantics such as RAII. And you can write C++ without using more than 10-15% of the language's features, so the language's potential complexity doesn't force program complexity.

That said, either choice is fine, you will likely benefit from choosing C or C++. In both cases, I would recommend SDL as a library for accessing basic graphics rendering and file loading functionality, as well as other game features like controllers and other input devices. It is platform dependent and has been around for quite some time.

An alternative useful library/framework (mostly for how widely it has been used in existing projects), is Tcl/Tk. It's not the simplest in design but it is quite capable and doesn't try to do too much more than provide 2D rendering, UI toolkit and basic input.

This kind of “inevitable uncertainty” is uncomfortable. It will happen, and becomes more likely as time goes on, but it’s unlikely to happen today or tomorrow. It’s possibly catastrophic, but likely to be “only” severe.

Geology in Oregon is somewhat terrifying. The Columbia River gorge wasn’t a slow gradual cut over millions of years — it was a roaring, rushing calamity of water and ice ripping out solid rock.
