Nope, talk to appliance people and they will tell you all of the traditional high end brands are junk now too

I specifically did not call them "repair" people BTW since most have lapsed into doing mostly installs...it's not even worth it to repair today's s junk and most people just replace. Cost of parts and labor now can easily exceed replacement cost (by design obviously)

Maybe Speed Queen is the one exception. I've had folks explicitly single out Bosch as a brand people still mistakingly believe is high quality. Follow the supply chain...it all comes out of just a few factories with most parts shared.

There are no longer high quality brands, only high price. High price is usually just for the name or appearance.
Neither. Piracy is an act of robbery on the high seas.
It is potentially a lot of jobs and economic activity leaving Taiwan for the US, Europe or Japan.

Most of the US subsidies are going to Intel (including for them setting up their foundry services which directly competes with TSMC). However there are some for TSMC for setting up in the US, that is true.

Cloud is great for prototyping or randomly elastic workloads, but it feels like people are pushing highly static workloads from on-prem to cloud. I'd love to be part of the change going the other way. Especially since the skills for doing so seem to have dried up completely.
It's under development close to 4 years. If the person has time (or doing Ph.D. or something on the subject), this is a very viable time frame to do all of this.

There are other people's work in it, but it's a one man show mainly.

This is a passion project and it shows.

We have services in Python and C# at $dayjob, and my experience is that Python has mostly left C# behind here - what is something you can express in the C# type system that MyPy cannot statically check?

Conversely, I find myself constrained by C#'s typesystem not having features now widely popular from Rust and Typescript and available in modern Python: const generics / literals, protocols/structural interfaces and matching over algebraic datatypes, to name a few examples.
I wonder if the floppies still work.
yes, but is there truth without statistics? what is a "truth model" to begin with? can you be convinced of any truth without having a statistical basis? some argue that we all act due to what we experience (which forms the statistical basis of our beliefs) - but proper stats is very expensive to compute (for the human brain) so we take shortcuts with heuristics. those shortcuts are where all the logical fallacies, reasoning errors etc. come from.

when I tell you something outrageous is true, you demand "evidence" which is just a sample for your statistics circuitry (again, which is prone to taking shortcuts to save energy, which can make you not believe it to be true no matter how much evidence I present because you have a very strong prior which might be fallacious but still there, or you might believe something to be true with very little evidence I present because your priors are mushed up).
Thanks, that does add further detail after all. :)

Besides the obvious(?) social reasons this is a pointless endeavor, you're also forgetting that stones are not homogeneous crystals but complex minerals, especially at this size. You could try to find the exact type of rock and chisel it into the right shape but it would still be very different and likely also have noticeable differences in weight distribution and grip not to mention appearance.

I buy Samsung drives relatively exclusively if that makes any difference.

All that to say though: this is why things like journalling and write-ahead systems exist. OS design is mostly about working around physical (often physics related) limitations of hardware and one of those is what to do if you get caught in a situation where something is incomplete.

The prevailing methodology is to paper over it with some atomic actions. For example: Copy-on-Write or POSIX move semantics (rename(2)).

Then some spiffy young dev comes along and turns off all of those guarantees and says they made something ultra fast (*cough*mongodb*cough*) then maybe claims those guarantees are somewhere up the stack instead. This is almost always a lie.

Also: Beware any database that only syncs to VFS.

Interesting feedback. As you rightly point out, in major tech projects most of these advantages to software don't hold up (determinism, rapid feedback loops, etc...). So I guess everybody is squeezed no matter where they are :-)
" so many Fiber providers are IPv6 reluctant." This depends on the country. Usually "late internet countries" have more open to turn into IPv6. One German university has more IPv4 addresses than whole China.

Yes I think these are mostly game development patterns for when you aren't using an engine like Godot/Unreal/Unity, or if you intend to write your own engine.(Personally I find this 100x more interesting than game development using ready built engines - but then again I never intend to write a finished game ever either!).

It's general softare development knowledge, tangentially related to game development, perhaps because that's an angle that people - especially self-taught developers - approach development from. One can argue that the title/selling point is misguided. It's an introductory programming book, angled towards non-engine game development or introductory game-engine development, aimed at self taught developers, is my takeaway.

Most design patterns can be anti patterns in one setting and useful in others. That's not really specific to game development. You can't ever sprinkle them :)

Why just twice as fast? Once you know that something is doable, it works and the rough direction things can get done really really fast. The Bannister effect is a real thing that can be observed in so many areas.

Chinese leaped ahead once the US banned exports to certain Chinese companies, Turks have become top players in the military drone business after the West didn't sell them the drones.

I mean, obviously there's lots of work to be done but I think people who believe that others can’t do things they can do are very misguided. Laws of physics is the same everywhere and scientific research is quite open, engineers are everywhere and it only takes someone to invest resources to do something.
Yes - it does rather look like the problem is at the UK side of things.

Edit: regarding the "ish" comment one thing that makes the UK deterrent a bit more credible is that they don't have PALs - the crew have everything they need to launch should they decide to.
> [workaround 2] Download the file with curl. Unix command-line tools like curl and tar don’t add the quarantine bit to the files they create on macOS, so it’s pretty easy to run software downloaded with them.

Wait I'm confused by this part (never used MacOS).

Which part of the chain mechanism mentioned above can be bypassed by just downloading the file via CURL?

I didn't seem to see the author mentioned (not explicitly at least) which steps added these "quarantine bits".
Okay, so I don’t really _get_ ChatGPT, but I’m particularly baffled by this usecase; why don’t you simply have your ORM tell you the query it is generating, rather than what a black box guesses it might be generating? Depends on the ORM, but generally you’ll just want to raise the log level.

Patterns and their names are useful to communicate to other developers wtf you want to do. For example, "we can do a bit of flyweight with an FSM on this bit here to get this feature working".

This is literally the only time I've used patterns in my entire career: to communicate ideas on how to solve problems. I don't think I've ever even once implemented a pure "by the book" pattern though.
While eBPF aims to minimize context switches and provide efficient in-kernel execution, there might still be scenarios where context switches are unavoidable. For example, interactions with user-space applications or handling specific events may require transitioning between user and kernel space. However, the goal is to keep such transitions to a minimum and leverage the advantages of eBPF's in-kernel execution model
I doubt it's an ethical choice. Some junior dev in the early days probably just put it in there and now the bureacratic lift required to undo it (and pay for a similar set of analytics instead of getting it subsidized by data harvesting) is just too much.
That sounds like some serious "aim for the stars and you'll only hit the moon" kind of problem.

Every major auto manufacturer is scrambling to build an EV because Tesla left them sitting without any potential market in 5-10 years if they don't. Tesla's goal, stated clearly from the beginning, was to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles. In this it has definitely succeeded. Yeah, it hasn't moved downmarket as quickly as people hoped. But as long as the more expensive models are being sold faster than produced, that's a capitalism problem not a Tesla problem.

SpaceX launches more commercial payloads than every other launch provider combined. They are investing heavily in next-gen launch capability despite being blocked by lots of red tape for environmental issues tha, a few miles away over the border, nobody cares about.

Starlink - what exactly did you expect here? It was never going to compete with urban FTTH.

Boring company - yeah not sure what you expected either. IMO this is more about having something that can build habitats on Mars. Hyperloop works on Mars without active vacuum systems or airtight sealing.

And no I'm not a fanboy. I think he's very anti-labour for example, which isn't the way to build a stable society. But from a tech standpoint I don't think these are valid criticisms.

Aside from the Tories largely being aligned with the idea that you shouldn't be bound by environmental law (see sewage dumping), have to pay inheritance tax (they're considering scrapping it as an election boost), or not discriminate racially (pick whatever policy you want here), the kind of people who support the monarchy also tend to be rabid Tories - exactly the kind of people you don't want to antagonise if you want to stay in power.

A Corbyn government might well have gone against the monarchy. I can't see Starmer doing it, though.
Definitely part of the problem but also definitely not the full story. E.g. in Britain plenty of people cycle despite the terrible infrastructure and hills.

Besides, now we have electric bikes and e-scooters so hills shouldn't really be a barrier.
You don’t need textbooks. Most textbooks are garbage.
> The only useful "pattern" in the book is the singleton

I don’t think it’s quite as bad a as you suggest. The Observer, component and event queue chapters cover information that is commonly used in games and the entire Optimization Patterns section is decent too. If you’re a complete beginner, the game loop chapter is also a good introduction. Maybe also the update method on account of the fact that many shipped games do in fact use this.

I also do not like singletons at all and think they should avoided. Just make your object a global if you must. Or my preferred way: namespaced functions that internally use a global (or classes with a static pimpl) with get/set context functions for the cases where this won’t work (testing, crossing DLL boundaries), just like how ImGui does it. But I won’t argue if someone tells me they prefer singleton’s for that.

The rest, I agree on, though, and Game Engine Architecture is one of my favourite books, so definitely second that recommendation.

It’s worth noting that the bill is 10 years old too, so the thinking around this stuff may have evolved in that time too (eg back then ECS was less common).
When you make a change to a complex software/hardware system, you should expect something to go wrong the first time you test it.

Clearly they changed something for this test in particular and it broke the system. It is likely something fairly minor that just doesn't work when part of it is removed.

Also, if it just went through a retrofit and has actually never fired a missile, then it's not unlikely for something to have been not quite placed back where it was supposed to be.

This is the difference between doing a release with a QA process that takes some time and testing versus doing development and just launching the new version into production.

They changed the code or hardware for this particular test. That not working does not prove that the system has fundamental flaws or that other systems that have been tested and not modified will have the same issue.

Most people do not understand the inherent brittleness in engineered systems. Even those that are designed to be fault tolerant. That can cause confusion about outcomes and the necessity of testing every release.
Imagine you are in a new city for the first time. You have an old-school printed map in hand. You're trying to find your way to some landmark.

You can sit down and plan out a route along the map. That will work. You'll find a way to get there. It will feel safe and controlled.

You can also wander, drop into an alley, and potentially find a shortcut through a park. That path was not on your map, so you would not have found it had you followed your map. Along the way, you might discover something that will make your trip memorable and unique.

Many companies follow a planned approach to feature development. The draw up a map, and then follow it. A hack day allows people to wander around the idea space and solution space unencumbered. Sometimes, a hack day brings forward a shortcut, a novel idea, or shows off a piece of functionality which would not see the light of day with the traditional approach. Often, it's a matter of catching someone's attention by showing them a good idea™ in action. Companies are sometimes in a rut, and a hack day creates a chance for new things to surface.

Are hack days fun? For some people, sure. For others, no. Do they serve a business purpose? Absolutely. It isn't all fun and games, even if it feels like it.

I have personally seen "hack days" accelerate concrete and valuable functionality.

Why don't high quality open-source solvers exist? The SOTA in other numerical computing is often open-source. I've always wondered why optimization was different.
I don't think you are supposed to use these patterns directly, but they describe common solutions to problems that let us use a shared language when discussing code. If I say that 'we can replace this with something like a flyweight', I expect you to know what I'm talking about. I'm not expecting you to implement it "by the book" but we can discuss it without me having to explain wtf a flyweight is, how it works, and how it applies to this situation.

That being said, these days there are much better resources out there for this stuff.
There used to be a guy around here who had an incredible fixation on this. I tend to believe him that Microsoft OS/2 2.0 probably did ship to some limited extent through OEMs.

But why would I care about how the engine works? It should just work, I don't want to waste my time with understanding how.

Are there any good books for actual game development? Not how to make the next generic platformer, but rather how to make sure all your assets, classes and scripts are structured and well organized despite having hundreds or even thousands of files. Or how to create dynamic modules that can be reused for many poarts of the game. When, and when not to build things dynamic vs. simply hardcoding them. I miss all this stuff in every book/tutorial I had so far.
