Yeah, Country Code TLDs is a bit of a misnomer, it's more "regions and territories".

Lots of islands, lots of of countries with spotty international recognition, a couple countries that no longer exist (like the Soviet Union), and a couple "regions" (EU, Antarctic)
500MB is the binary size, when you download proton from the GitHub release page. Also available as a docker image. The memory consumption can be 200MB or a few GB, depending on the workload. Comparing to setup Flink/ksqlDB with JVM, Proton is much more lightweight to get started.

The higher up I’ve gotten the less routine the days are.

I also tend to have more control over my schedule. That makes it easy to shift days around to feel different.
Windows does this very well since at least a few years back. When connected via Remote Desktop any native application will get the behavior you describe, so the UI gets updated with almost no latency.

Applications which bypass the native APIs to render their window contents, in particular video players or games, get a compressed streamed video which has very decent performance. The video quality seems to be dynamic as well, so if there's a scene with very few changes you can see the quality progressively improve.

All of this is done per window, so a small VLC window playing a video in a corner gets the video treatment, while everything else still works like native UI.
> Google revenues come from ~90% ads.

That's not true, and hasn't been for a decade. For this earnings release, the proportion of revenue from ads was 76%.

No, they don't. As far as I know they've literally never given guidance.
Virt Manager is fantastic. I've used it for more than a decade and it's been rock solid throughout.

Being able to connect to my TrueNAS Scale server and run VMs across the network is the icing on the cake.
I've used numba numerous times to get stuff done for robotics work. C++ is just a shitshow of a mess right now with 5 billion new unnecessary features yet the real inconveniences (like even the very existence of header files that massively violate DRY) haven't been addressed at all. I can't wait till Rust gains more adoption and ecosystem.
These are fair points, but I personally still want more punishment. I'll admit I probably don't have the clearest mindset when considering these things either, because I've had too many people around me injured, paralyzed, or killed because of drunk drivers. I'm at the point where I am literally incapable of feeling any level of empathy for anyone who voluntarily drinks and then gets behind the wheel because of how much it's affected my life, directly and indirectly.

My grandparents, my high school girlfriend, another girlfriend just a couple years ago, my best friend's brother, a coworker, 2 great uncles... All people in my life who were either injured or killed by a drunk driver. Hell, one of my uncles was literally run over outside of his car by a drunk driver. He survived but lost his leg, and he couldn't ever breathe right after the accident...

That's not to mention all the indirect drunk-driving deaths that I've dealt with via mourning friends and family. It's very difficult not to be incredibly calloused at something that is so, so destructive and yet so, so easy to prevent. Like, literally if you had just called an Uber my friend would still be alive, I'm sure glad that you saved $20!

...Y'know? No easy answers, at this point I'm just venting a little bit. :) Thanks for the response and for reading my spiel!

That is brilliant, thank you so much for sharing. The galaxies’ enormous size is truly jaw dropping. I had absolutely no idea they were this large, in the night sky.

Have you ever seen them live, though an image intensifier / night vision system? I feel there would be something profound about seeing a galaxy with my own (albeit enhanced) eyes.

Odd that it doesn't work that way for me with controllers, maybe it's a setting you chose? For me no amount of moving the controllers or even pushing the buttons or triggers will wake the headset, it only wakes up if I put it on or through the power button.
A quick look at the 24-hour trading volumes of the top 10 crypto exchanges (only a single trading pair per exchange of BTC against a USD or equivalent) gives a total volume of ~3.8 billion dollars. Many people say that there is a lot of fake volume in crypto but this is still a pretty conservative number. The total BTC volume according to CoinMarketCap is about 23 billion, but I prefer the smaller number because it gives a much better picture of the volume that could be feasibly captured with pretty unremarkable exchange access. If we assume that one can capture 5% of this 24-hour volume (a reasonably conservative assumption given good enough trading infrastructure), it would take about 11 days to offload that amount of bitcoin by selling across the top 10 exchanges.

So you absolutely could convert an amount like that into "real" assets. 11 days doesn't seem like an unreasonable amount of time to me, and we haven't even talked about OTC deals or other providers offering block trading services.
His nominal costs are higher.

Bullying is targeted though. I doubt that this instance is someone trying to annoy Swift. She could theoretically not have noticed the episode at all and the faker would still be happy. I don't see why this has to make her feel like she is under some sort of attack. She isn't; most of the people looking at this stuff think she is a very respectable human being. Some fanatically think she is one of the best.

> I shouldn't need to point out why harassment and taxation is an apples to oranges comparison.

Sure. But you can see how (1) me being worse off and (2) me being upset about it are not sufficient for people to be persuaded that harm is being done to me. I mean, technically there is a point there but most people don't consider it appropriate to describe taxes as "harmful".

* War and Peace

There is a lot of war in the world, but if you look at the overall trends we're actually in a period of remarkable peace [0]. Absolute number of wars is way down, and death rates due to war will be way down (note that population growth is exponential so absolute numbers being a little higher actually means rates are dropping).

I find "BlockTube" OK for blocking key words in video titles or channel names but I much prefer "Channel Blocker" for blocking channels. It puts an X in front of the channel name on each video. Clicking the X blocks the entire channel and its video instantly disappear from whatever page you're on.
Agreed. It had limitations but at the time nobody was "this phone sucks" because what it did have was fucking amazeballs and clearly the first glimpse at the future. We were witnessing a paradigm shift and aware of it while it was happening.
"Want it for entertainment? people want to enjoy photos, videos, movies with other people and it can't include them. Even if they have a Vision Pro, I haven't yet seen any sign of ability for multiple people to do these things together."

This is not accurate, FaceTime has Share Play. Any app that leverages it can build a synced entertainment. Example out of the box, Apple TV, Freeform, Apple Music.

I wish the SDK for Share Play was not tied with FaceTime, since it limits you to only people you have their iCloud email or phone number to. Big Screen on Quest was a great app that leveraged the idea of multiple users in the same VR session, based on interest, Quest just lacked the quality.

Reminds me of iPhone 1.

Everything you've said is reminiscent of the reviews of the first iPhone.
Core business revenue went strongly up, it just went up slightly less than analysts hoped.
I have many fights to pick with Apple. Pairing of accessories is not one of them. Honestly, if I stop using iPhone in the future, it’s likely I’ll stop using my AirPods as well. There’s in either case very little point paying premium for Apple accessories and pairing them over Bluetooth.

Bluetooth is one of the worst protocols to work with. That goes for both implementers and users. It’s one of the key selling points of Apple devices - they just work together.

Troubleshooting which device is hijacking the Bluetooth speaker is not how I want to spend my relax time. And don’t get me started on anything IoT. Solving the pairing issue is a massive selling point.

As for Apple ID specifically, I know that it’s used for tracking lost devices, and connecting with other devices that you may not have paired individually in a n^2 fashion. It could be, for instance, that Bluetooth pairing would conflict with apples own discovery/ownership protocol - say you only use BT (no account) and then an iPhone with temp access to your AirPods could “take over” your AirPods since they didn’t have a logical owner before.
Yeah, but the first iPod touch was great. It came out only 3 months after the iPhone.

It seems like the Vision Pro 1 has the M2 so that when the Vision, or Vision Air comes out, it will be at least as powerful as the first Pro. And the Pro 2 can have the M3.
Be careful what you wish for, as this kind of rules can quickly have unintended consequences.

I used to live in an English town that set up maximum number of parking spaces for new homes. On paper looks good, as they were trying to incentivize public transport as you mention.

However the outcome was that single family homes were virtual unaffected, as they usually have a double garage plus driveway, while people on apartment blocks had severe parking limitations. In other words, if you were well off enough to buy a house you were gold, and the less well off people had to bear most of the burden.
Have to agree.

The Right, worship Adam Smith, and Hate Marx.

But when I read Adam Smith, it sounds kind of what would be called socialist from the right.

Marx was doing economic theory. He was paid to write the 'C Manifesto'.

Not that he didn't also believe, but he did do actual economic work, it wasn't just all propaganda calling for a revolution. There was theory behind it.
I'm sure the later ones are also great, but as of Apple Watch 4, they are quite compelling depending on what your needs are. From a fitness / voice assistant button on the wrist, getting notifications without pulling your phone out standpoint the Series 4 and later are all fantastic.
I just meant from a user's perspective it's a format that superseeds WARC. But internally, yes, one is an encapsulation format for the other.

> When Apple announced the iPhone on January 9, 2007,[38] it was sold only with AT&T (formerly Cingular) contracts in the United States.[32] After 18 months of negotiations, Steve Jobs reached an agreement with the wireless division of AT&T[39] to be the iPhone's exclusive carrier. Consumers were unable to use any other carrier without unlocking their device.

Technical flaws: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_glitches_(Ge...

(Something a lot of people don't know is that Mew's data actually exists in the generation 1 games and that it's technically possible to have it in the game on original hardware, sprite and all. The technical means by which one can obtain it is actually the same as the means by which one encounters the famous Missingno. I've personally done it in an emulator.)

I also see some gameplay flaws but they're mostly opinion (I'm not who you replied to, FWIW):

- Gen 1 had a single "Special" stat which was used as both Defense and Attack; this was split in Gen 2 to be Special Defense and Special Attack. This actually makes it a little fun to go back and play those games because some mons are just broken, e.g., Chansey so maybe it's not a great example. I believe this was a consequence of the memory size of the game flash cards being too small to support more numbers.

- Competitive teams from Gen 1 are determined by the 3 mons (of 6) which aren't on every single competitive team for the generation[1]. Normal is generally considered to be the best defensive type in the game for two reasons: 1) its only natural weakness is fighting, which doesn't have any good offensive moves in Gen 1, and 2) it's immune to the paralyze chance from the move Body Slam because Body Slam is a Normal-type move. The 3 mons which don't change per team are all single-type Normal.

I'm not exactly sure about the gen 2 games but I don't generally find myself drawn back to them. But I also don't find myself drawn to gen 3, for example. I do love myself a good gen 3 hack, though.

The Pokémon RPGs are often criticized for being the same game over and over again, with only slight adjustments to the formula and more Pokémon to catch.

...

Compared to the calcified mechanics of a mainline Pokémon game, playing Palworld and enslaving a horde of adorable sheep to make assault rifles feels like a rush of freedom.

I'm a long time enormous fan of Nintendo, but it is a fair criticism that at times they can be overly conservative, and seemingly biased toward creating a very similar experience to a new generation of children rather than a new experience to existing, aging fans.

I don't much blame Nintendo for this though because it's a pretty reasonable decision. If I loved Pokemon when I was a kid, it's quite likely that a kid of this new generation that has never seen Pokemon before is also going to like it. Why not serve that new generation with a proven product?

The good thing for indie game developers here is that this opens up a gap to iterate on Nintendo's ideas for an older more seasoned audience that may be tiring of the same old.

There's huge opportunity here. We're now seeing a good example of the potential with Palworld, but before that we saw it with Stardew Valley, which brought iterative innovation into the space occupied by the overly conservative Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games.

Now Palworld itself may be fairly criticized for hemming too close to some of Nintendo's visual style here, but in general I think what they're getting at in terms of providing something new to Nintendo fans is totally fair and something that I'd love to see more indies do. There are quite a few neglected Nintendo franchises out there.

Another one that long time older players are quite dissatisfied with is Animal Crossing. We've seen a few indies try their hand at Animal Crossing clones, but none have hit the mark yet.
I find it somewhat feckless how basically every review I've read so far of the Vision Pro seems focused more on the "Potential" of the device than on the current reality of the device itself. Every fault is seemingly boot-licked away with promises of how it'll all be "Better" in the future. A fancy VR headset that costs more money than the majority of humans on earth earn in an entire year of their lives should honestly be arriving a lot more fully baked than it seems the Vision Pro is. But hey, just keep giving Apple your money, cause if you give them enough of it they'll have to eventually make a version of this thing that actually delivers on their BS promises right?

To put it in more direct terms, I wnder if AI training does and/or can even distinguish between different classes of pedestrians. I am suspecting the current approach is to treat them all the same.

Not following the phrasing: "Whereas cutting taxes - well, it may not be optimal, but it's harder to corrupt, is transparent and publicly observable, and easy to implement."

Cutting taxes is harder to corrupt? The removal of taxes is good because the country can't properly collect taxes in the first place?

A thing I try to keep as a through line in discussing legacy infrastructure, and checks in the U.S. are definitely legacy infrastructure, is both a) how we ended up here despite later-generation systems getting to leapfrog off what earlier-ones learned and b) why people still use wlog checks instead of going with other methods that they could also choose to use, in 2024.

For example, in this issue, a major reason why some people don't do value transfer through banks directly is the banks don't really like them (for reasons), the feeling is mutual (for reasons), and other people who do not have the same POV re: banks want to give those people money in a scaled fashion, which (unless they orient their operations around a solution) will frequently involve sending out checks.

There’s a French think tank called “The Shift Project” which actually produced a report estimating CO2 impact of data transfer a few years ago [1]!

The numbers are obviously very rough; there’s a LOT of factors to consider and which vary from one node to another. But the methodology is quite comprehensive, e.g. they factor in power consumption of the end user’s device while waiting for the data to transfer over the wire

Green software engineering is interesting to me because it seems like a good way to impact greenhouse gases _without_ requiring consumers to change anything about their lifestyle (which is the hard part of climate change…) There’s a cool presentation from Rasmus Lerdorf from around the time when PHP7 released where he estimated a 50% adoption rate of PHP7 would result in a saving of 3.5B kg CO2/year iirc, purely because of the compute efficiency gains from PHP6 -> PHP7.

I used their numbers to calculate that swapping our CI/CD clones at my day job over to shallow clones saved (maybe) 5.5 kg/week of CO2 emissions [2]. Not quite as impressive as the PHP7 figures, but I still think it’s kinda neat.

> Insider trading: there's a lot of information freely available that can be used to make predictions

The efficient market hypothesis deals with that. The freely available information is priced in (nothing is free, and it takes time)

> Market rigging: the market can be affected by your behaviour without you rigging anything

I am talking of things like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libor_scandal
and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forex_scandal. These are incidences where the traders got caught. Given the millions at stake, do you think many are caught?

To win at active trading you need an edge nobody else has. There have been cases of traders having insights not known to others. Pairs trading is the only example I know of. In that case the people who kept it secret made out like bandits for a few years, then the secret leaked and it is no longer profitable

The most common legal edge players have is scale: They are huge and nimble and can take advantage of opportunities at scale. It goes really well, until it does not, and another trading house collapses.

The most common edge I believe, after studying it for a decade, is crime. Big trading house, big crime
