Given the policy, I'm still really unclear about how ScummVM was allowed into the iOS app store. Maybe it was a mistake, but it's been up there for months.

There's no conceptual difference between interpreting SCUMM bytecode and interpreting 65816 machine code.
Edit - also, you should go and look up the rates of spontaneous remission for colorectal cancer (e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10273780/). We're talking about 12 patients with stage 2/3 colorectal cancer, in remission with the treatment alone.

What's really cool is that papers tend to have sections where they discuss the statistics so you can use real numbers. Their null hypothesis was a 25% response rate.

"This decision rule would result in a type I
error rate of 6% if 25% of the patients had an
overall response and would provide the study
with 84% power if 50% had an overall response.
The null hypothesis was established on the basis
of a study by Seligmann et al., in which the observed response to chemotherapy among patients with mismatch repair–deficient rectal
cancers was 7% (8 of 115 patients)."
Arguably, the shareholders don't want the management to try to harden the company. If the shareholders wanted to invest in a new approach, they could do that on their own. Rather, the shareholders expect the company to squeeze what they can out of what they are, even if that means winding down the firm.

Yep, you put this really well. A few commenters here are saying, "actually, if you're smart, you can figure out how to use this system to your advantage!". But we all know that. What some of us are saying is: Yes, anyone can do this, and that's bad.
Probably unpopular opinion: Silly excercises like this are a good way to see who bends the knee and who is a maverick, and projects only work when most people are docile enough to go with the flow and follow orders. Identifying people that make waves and evaluating if they're worth the hassle is an important part of running a successful business.

> there's nothing inherently mystical about a fourth spacial dimension

Weirdly enough, there are big distinctions between three and four dimensions when it comes to geometry and topology. For example: “Four is the only dimension n for which R^n can have an exotic smooth structure. R^4 has an uncountable number of exotic smooth structures; see exotic R^4.” [0]

It turns out that having four dimensions really is magically different from having any other finite number.

Because of government subsidies. The government subsidizes college prices by backing student loans. This creates a vicious circle. Colleges raise their prices, the government ensures those prices can be met, and students are on the hook for it.

This is also ultimately why house prices are high. The government subsidizes house prices by backing mortgage debt.

If they really built the best site for playing MTG, even over paid versions, then there's no real way to hide the fact that it's magic-specific.

Super interesting. A major point to be aware of from the docs:

Note what this is not: a distributed SQL engine. [...]

SQLite on RADOS is meant to be accessed by a single SQLite client
database connection at a given time.

So it distributes the backend storage across multiple nodes for the increased reliability, but any individual SQLite database is only accessible from a single node at a time.

That still sounds like a good trade off in a lot of cases.

Performance wise, the docs mention this when SQLite is configured for WAL journaling:

You can expect around 150-250 transactions per second ...

That's easily good enough for a lot of things. Obviously that would vary too depending on how the Ceph cluster itself is set up.

Wonder if this could be extended somehow, maybe with range locking?, to enable simultaneous operations from multiple nodes?

Ah. Twitter’s AI, Grok, JUST FUCKING MADE UP that Iran is attacking Tel Aviv.
It was first seen in the trending column.
Bluechecks are running with the story

Followed by a screenshot of the twitter UI with text:

Iran Strikes Tel Aviv with Heavy Missiles On October 7, 2023, Iran launched a missile strike on Tel Aviv, Israel, in retaliation for
earlier attacks on Israel by the Palestinian military wing of Hamas, which resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 civilians. The attack
involved the use of heavy missiles and has led to significant damage, including fires and the destruction of several buildings.

Grok is an early feature and can make mistakes. Verify its outputs.

Tesla was very capital efficient compared to how hard the task was, only just enough to get the next product out. By the time they were making big loses, you could see the Model 3 was gone turn around once they reached scale. There was always a clear story of if we do X next, that means Y.

> I keep coming back to Apple. How'd Apple avoid the trap?

I think by changing CEO radically at the right time. Whatever was gone work for Apple, it wasn't any of the typical things you would think off. I'm not at all a Jobs fan, but I don't think many people could have turned it around.

Jobs had the ability to come back and radically shift the company. They also had the benefit of 20 years of loyal costumers, maybe the biggest asset Apple had was their loyal costumer base (or captured market). Personally I can say my dad was a complete Apple fan, he would just buy Apple. He simply didn't care the higher performance or any of the other things.

Let's me work from master locally, but push my work to a new remote branch just for the PR. Saves a couple steps in his normal workflow as he describes it. I also tend to use the "Squash", "Rebase" and "Amend" buttons on the PR's web UI that makes a few of my common "post-push" operations even more convenient (thanks to a Bitbucket plugin).

Oh, and "git pull --rebase --autosquash" is also a big part of my workflow. Quite a miraculous "does exactly what you want without you even knowing you want it" command.
Well that's answering the question, I admitted I was dodging that - my point was that they're not true anyway so we don't even need to theorise what might happen over generations of reproduction. But perhaps I misunderstood/mis-scoped what was meant by 'immortal'.
Out of all the things to take issue with about their monetization model that is such a wild take. Do you also have issues about paying for a videogame that uses your GPU? Probably not.

Any paid software you can run on your own hardware by definition is paying to use "your own" resources(CPU, GPU, storage, etc), what you're paying for is their effort in creating and maintaining the software. If they want a gatekeep features for a premium version that's their right, if you have a problem with it find something else or make it yourself.
What we learned from COVID is that it's absolutely disastrous to send everyone a check, because most of that money gets stolen. Better to give away resources that are valuable to consume but expensive to transact in.

Most SGI graphics cards had no texture ram at all, and had zero texturing capability. At the time there was one card that had 4 MB of texture RAM, but in the same year a typical PC GPU had between 16 or 32 MB of shared memory, most of which was used for textures.

A “budget” SGI card cost more than my parents’ car. I bought three different GPUs by that point with my pocket money.

It was actually 9-bit RAM, but the CPU could only see 8 of the bits!

Do you have a source that corroborates GPT4? It is well-known that it can happily generate unsubstantiated information.

>> As far as the message from IDF, my understanding is the true believers of Orthodox Judaism are actually both anti-muslim and anti-christian. The hidden message I take is “you Christians are fools, easily tricked, we have tricked you also, we laugh at you behind your back, and desecrate your beliefs as our weapons of war”.

Isn't that just a little bit too much to infer from a single word? If they wanted to send a message to Christians, why not choose something obvious like "Cross" or "Golgotha" or "Herod"?

Thanks for the reply.

I try to use exception chaining to create a message that is useful for the user
to actually debug the problem (solution-directed error message).

The classic toy case is either getting back "permission denied" or "can not open foo" but not both. Chaining of error messages gives a straightforward mechanism for this.

Then, the high-level text, along with the caused-by messages, is displayed without a stack trace to hopefully give the user enough information to address an issue.

Chaining can be done with explicitly returned errors as well as exceptions. The hard part is actually thinking about "is this use to the end user"

You can print them, but the "hollow" chamber you print will be full of powder with no way to remove said powder. That's a well-established limitation of both SLS and SLA printing.

The classic way of getting around that is to leave a small hole in the chamber that's open to the outside - then you drain the powder out of that hole and, if needed, plug it up after you're done.

Can you give me examples? Personally, I don't think I've ever had a problem finding things by their name or title on Google. If I type python, I get python's website, if I type hacker news, I get this website. I can type the name of an old program and get their webpage on sourceforge for example. I've also tested that it works with finding the official websites of celebrities, e.g. if you type eminem, you get his official website.

It does seem to have biases toward recency and product pages, but finding things by their title isn't a thing Google is bad at.
Yep, as you alluded to, the rules of "the game" are not static. It's good to advocate for changing the rules to make them more fair, and it's bad to advocate for the unfair status quo (which is what you've been doing), or changing them to be even more unfair.

Yeah, "all branches are remote" is in fact the Objectively Best Workflow.

In point of fact I don't deal with local branches at all on 95%+ of days. Just "git reset --hard <remote>/<branch_to_work_on>", do whatever I want, and then "git push <remote> HEAD:refs/heads/<pull_request>" (or push -f if I'm reworking an existing one, yada yada). If I want to "pull" changes I just "git fetch <remote>" and don't ever bother checking anything out.

Local branches involve too much state that inevitably means I trip over it.

Roulette is a losing game no matter how you play it. There was a time when you could increase your odds by the last few percent to take an advantage by playing old and unbalanced wheels.
