Sandstorm does this, although we are badly in need of funding, contributors, and all the things needed to meaningfully run an open source project. Our updates are generally evergreen but we are currently blocked on offering that while we establish a new community-run infrastructure and development process.

The problem is you do need to reinvent everything to do this right, and reinventing everything is hard and a bit of a slog. Some problems are also just... still hard, there's no secure and good way to help someone open a port on their home router.
One thing this should mention is what game version it uses. Updates frequently change the stats and thus what builds are “best”.

Harsh judgement maybe but to me paying $500 for tickets to a convention about anything is drinking the kool-aid about that thing.
I have been using Libreoffice/OpenOffice continuously pretty much for last 20 years (mostly Impress/presentation part for teaching/presentations). And the number of bugs, crashes, issues with video etc occasionally gets very annoying. I was hoping over the years things would improve, but I don't quite see that unfortunately. If I could get something to replace LibreOffice that is not online and works on Linux I would pay for it.
Wonder what will happen to this… The UK didn’t seem to get that far 10 years ago. I remember this article coming out, but was unable to find any follow up / outcomes:

Wait, Bowser and Wario are the fastest? I thought it was the other way around. I guess it's reversed from Mario Kart 64.
HomeKit and HomePods are such a mess, I don’t think Apple has it in them.
Linux has directories and config/package/fleet management as well. No one in the past 20 years should be walking to every desk in 1,000 desk building installing software.
Outside of tiny languages though, pretty much nobody knows the "whole" language. Almost every production language has a ton of quirks that can surprise people who have been using a language for years.
Well... that was a seriously impressive presentation. I already knew about Pareto efficiency/the Pareto frontier, but now I'll never be able to forget it. And I'll think of Mario Kart (and poor Koopa being dominated) every time.
Gimp, blender, firefox and obs are all very successful OSS alternatives that come to mind.

I'm not suggesting it should replace schools. I am responding to what the article tries to imply.

I don't know or have thought enough about what the perfect way to educate kids would be.

I just don't appreciate an article jumping on a company that to me seems to reward creativity, because of some odd understanding of moral truths like Corp = Evil and Children receiving money = Evil.

Which in many cases IT really could be like child factory workers in cases where they are forced to do that due to economical circumstances, having no other options.

But I don't know about the company enough. Maybe they are truly evil. Maybe this article is just wrong about the delivery, but Roblox is evil.

I did some reading and it seems you are right.

No Idea why phones come with a SAR rating then and why there are safe limits defined, when no one found unsafe limits.
We are in a correction period, so some bad things will happen. Journalism loves the superlative right now, so any headline tends to be scary. What would be more concerning? Some announced losses, or a lies about how "everything is fine?" In the long term, a short term correction isn't terrible. People held their breath for years about the next downturn, and it is almost a relief that it is here.

We are also gearing up for proxy wars, the first ones have already started. There will be some amount of economic squeeze in order to motivate recruits and workers. I don't support such actions, but it doesn't change reality.
"Stereotypes probably aren't a good basis for reasonable estimates."

Yet stereotypes are exactly what you're talking about when it comes to anecdotal evidence in your prior comment. Most people don't think about the what ifs, or possible outcomes. They're making stereotypes based on the experiences they do have. Stuff like how dangerous driving in the snow is if your a southerner or a northerner.

"Also, drivers know all about near misses."

I've seen some rather oblivious drivers who didn't realize how close they came to injury or death. The statistics for either activity isn't particularly helpful because individual scenarios can be wildy different.

We Created a New LLM for Financial Analysis and Investments
Hello, Everyone; I'm Anwaar Malik. I have a background in CS+Finance from the University of Waterloo with additional education in Economics from Harvard. Today, I officially launched AllMind AI to the public. We have been in beta for the past two months and have had analysts, independent investors, and professionals from the finance world review our product to see how we can improve it. I developed AllMind AI to address common challenges faced by investors. In the finance sector, investors typically encounter three significant hurdles: 1) High cost of data; 2) Data is scattered, requiring visits to multiple locations to obtain information, each with its learning curve and fees; and finally and 3) The complexity of transforming raw financial data into actionable insights for investment or trading decisions. This led me to create AllMind AI, designed to significantly reduce the time and money investors spend on research and analysis. During our beta testing, professional analysts from major firms and independent users reported an average savings of 90% in research time and 98% in subscription costs. Our goal at AllMind is to save time and increase profits for investors. We want you to make confident data-driven decisions for your investments. If you are interested in this product, I recommend you check it out (you can use it for free!) https://allmindinvestments.com/

Thermovoltiacs, converting heat dirctly to electricity. IIRC, At least one of the "box of rocks" thermal battery startups (interviewed on the Volts podcast) intends to have both a two way heat exchanger and electricity play.
Linux has multiple options for configuration management: Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Salt, Nix, etc. You can even write a quick loop on the shell of your choice and orchestrate your machines that way if only want to rely on stock software...
I'm not sure, but it kind of makes sense as a choice, since acceleration and speed should be negatively correlated and since Bowser and Wario are both massive they should accelerate more slowly than others (given constant force). So they get to have the highest top speeds to compensate.
Yeah I saw that. Every other indicator is going the other way however, as I’m sure you can tell since you read the article.
Seems like a good lens through which to view California politics, which is often dominated for better and worse by special interests like the trial lawyers, firefighters, etc…
I think this is actually one of the selling points of C over other languages. Certainly it's easy to fool yourself into thinking you know any language better than you do, but C genuinely is relatively tiny, and I think it's reasonable to expect to become familiar with almost everything in the language in a month or so of full-time work. After a decade of day job C++ coding, I'd not say the same for myself there.

Rust and C++ lately have been particularly quickly moving targets to keep up with, where C is still pretty much the same as C99. The compilers are better, their warnings are better, sanitizer modes are incredible, but the things you type into your text editor to express your program structure are still pretty much the same thing.
> You're making a huge assumption that their markup is the same for credit card transactions!

We can take this from the other end though. A merchant who accepts ACH via Stripe pays 0.8%, one who accepts $20 on a credit card through Stripe pays 4.4%, so the merchant pays 3.6% more with a credit card than ACH, and 4.4% more than accepting physical cash. It doesn't matter how much of each is Stripe's profit unless there is some competitor a small business could use to process credit cards for less. Is there?

> You're also making broad oversimplified assumptions about the what merchants do in response to transaction fees.

In a competitive market, increasing every competitor's costs would cause them to pass on most/all of the costs, because the competition is keeping margins thin and their alternative is to go out of business. This is not an oversimplification, it's what actually happens in real commodity markets.

> Multiple implausible things need to be true for high end card users to be losing out on this scheme.

All that's required to happen is that the merchants are passing on more of the credit card processing fees than the amount of the rewards. Since the fees are higher than the rewards, this is not that implausible.
In relative values it's worse than 100 years ago, better than 1000 years ago. Absolute values are also important. It's still much better than 100 years ago.

And then so many people migrate to Europe from the Americas, Africa and Asia. It shouldn't be so bad after all.
While I'll agree the "eye candy updates" may not be there (apart from marketing-driven AI additions and visual updates), there are some big features that aren't visible until you enter the enterprise space. For example, Purview Information Protection [1] and Data Classification integration [2] make data protection, audits/compliance a no-brainer, and are _extremely_ compelling arguments for an integrated suite at the CISO level.

(The downside of course is this is a single-source stack, which can be a risk in of itself)

I have no real background in Libre (apart from using it, which I enjoy), but from cursory searches, there doesn't appear to be equivalent features available (very happy to be wrong here FWIW). Are there alternatives in this space?

That's fine on a desktop machine, the problem on a server machine is that as soon as I start the server, I will probably be in automation mode and I definitely need to run `apt` for some reason. But APT is unavailable, so everything is blocked until unattended upgrades are done. So much for being "unattended", I have to attend to start the next script.
The problem is that you have to track down all pointers pointing to specific block.

With snapshotting, especially with filesystems that can only write data through snapshots (like ZFS), blocks can be referred to by many pointers.

It's similar to evaluating liveness of object in a GC, except you're now operating on possibly gigantic heap with very... pointer-ful objects, that you have to rewrite - which goes against core principle of ZFS which is data safety. You're doing essentially a huge history rewrite on something like git repo, with billions of small objects, and doing it safely means you have to rewrite every metadata block that in any way refers to given data block - and rewrite every metadata block pointing to those metadata blocks.

RCS has been available for over 10 years.

It’s exactly as in Mario Kart 64! Remember, heavy characters have the higher top speed, but light characters have the higher acceleration!
This, definitely remember reading about this on slashdot decades ago. Must've gone well...
Yes, but with their poor acceleration, and given how chaotic some Mario Kart races are, it is hard to achieve their maximum speed.
Parallels is removing a bunch of features
I use the "start a VM on boot" as the primary reason I use Parallels (I run VMs on a Mac Mini for my network such as DHCP and DNS). Right now that makes it easy to reboot, but without that, I'll find a different solution (likely a couple of Pi's). I also use it for a Linux VM on my main Mac, but I can use VirtualBox for that for as little as I use it.

No reason to pay the money for 2 Pro licenses, especially since they've greatly increased the price. So I'll be cancelling my subscription when it expires. It's a shame because while there are other solutions, Parallels has nice add-ons, but it's no longer worth it.

I will also add I did contact them to give feedback, and as is typical for these companies, it was a very rude form reply:

> We confirm that this feature forms part of the list that will be removed in the next version.

> This is official and has been mentioned in this KB article: [removed, see above for same link]

> This decision cannot be reverted.

> We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

> Thanking you in advance for your comprehension.

> Have a nice day ahead.

That reply is just extra motivation to cancel.
> to bring it back at 80%

Why wouldn't the rental car company charge it?

Worst case, it's going to lose 2 hours on a 1+ day rental, right?
Hm, somehow I missed that line. That makes a big difference as far as possible liabilities. I assume it doesn't vary much if the equipment is the same. The physics are standard.
I think you've mixed your Bytes and bits here. Not sure where the power and area numbers come from but I'd expect NVLink to be worse on both counts for similar bandwidths since they shipped much, much earlier.

PCIe 7.0 is 512GB/s and not 512Gbps. 512GB/s is the full-duplex bandwidth. It sits between NVLink2 and NVLink3.

I gave a fuller breakdown in a sibling thread.
A bit unfair. It verifies a subset of C because it is incomplete.

It looks as though the idea is that you can annotate existing code, which is a lot easier than rewriting.
> "Not sure why you think charging is not the problem... Most users don't have the time to think about places to charge and even more so, to bring it back at 80%"

Nobody is forcing you to bring it back with 80%. Hertz's charging fees are not extortionate or unreasonable. If you don't have the time or inclination, just return it as-is and pay the per-kWh charging fee. It isn't all that much more than what it would cost you to supercharge it anyway!

(I don't disagree that charging is a problem when it comes to car rentals, but for the most part it's a psychological problem, not a real one.)
Are high performance databases embedding non-POD C++ objects in explicitly paged memory?
Well tbh it is fun doing things that push the limits and once you know the truth its all just a game anyway.

I was big into biking since I was a kid and injured many times because I had cheap bicycles. My friends and I would do tricks with our bmx bikes, or go into construction sites and whatever. Got a rebar through my foot one time...

Once I had a swe job, health insurance, and disposable income, got a mountain bike and started hitting up black and double black diamond trails without watching any videos or reading maps. It was gnarly and so much fun. I'd go solo and even at night or early morning with a headlamp.

I stopped a few years ago because a unrelated knee injury from childhood caused me to have limited range of motion in my leg, and had a close call which could have been bad. I kinda like being bi-pedal, so now I am boring. Maybe when I'm like 45 or 50 when I don't gaf again I'll get back into it.
I've always been a fan of the concept of simply billing the losing litigants the legal expenses of both sides when the case was obviously frivolous. Seems like it would shut this shit right down.
Do professionals use different builds per map? For example, a map has long straightaways (favoring top speed) vs a map with more sharp turns (preferring acceleration)?
Exactly. And add one more thing: Help with the care of the elderly and invalids.

As it happens, I turned sixty-seven today. While I am in good shape now, it's reasonable to assume that I might need personal care at some point in the not too distant future. A humanoid robot assistant that could handle many of those tasks would be great.

I have no idea when or whether that will become possible, though.
I'm trying to imagine having to have an account or install an app to gas up my Pontiac and I'm like ... gulp I better take really good care of this car.

Objectively there have been an absolutely enormous number of "improvements" to MS office (including Outlook and Word) over the last decade. The biggest is probably cloud/simultaneous editing capabilities. See https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-life-hacks/sto... .

Interestingly, there is a decreased emphasis on the file format- the opposite of your point. In addition to cloudy used on mobile devices, sharepoint, etc; since 2007 or so Word has used docx, which has better cross compatibility with other suites, even Google Docs: https://www.howtogeek.com/304622/what-is-a-.docx-file-and-ho... .

My personal use patterns- I use LibreOffice quite a bit, Google Docs rarely, and MS Office daily for work. Outlook and Word have changed a lot and continue to evolve (watch for copilot integrations).

(I agree with the more general critique here, that any adaptation invasive enough to provide these properties in C might as well be its own programming language.)
It's also just laziness. Even in homes with very few things to do maintenance on, things still go unmaintained.
