It's definitely not small. From a lines of code perspective, there's ~525K lines of c++, ~175K of C, and ~160K of headers for either language. There's ~4 million lines of SQL, since the entire game's database (items, quests, etc) are stored in a MySQL database.

There's a lot of people involved, and a lot of various PR's and issues in github. As with most projects, this is where it's a situation that the game is so large and there are only so many people maintaining the project and so many people testing or confirming issues.

The project is a fork of a fork of a fork, for the most part. Much of the code comes from either SunwellCore (parent), or more likely TrinityCore (grand-parent), and over the past few years since the SC fork has been maintenance and bugfixes. I don't think any of the "current" contributors wrote the code that manages the actual game world, for example. My biggest complaint, I would say, is that at times there's a lot of "well this is how we've done it in the past" as opposition to a new feature or pull request

I think I would consider AzerothCore to be as complex as a medium-large monolithic service, I'd say. That's basically what it is, since the client is "off-the-shelf". There's a lot going on in the source code, but it's generally not difficult to figure out where an issue is.

I hope that helped answer your question.

The last photo of him sitting in his chair, desperately trying to finish his memoirs was taken in their house in Galena, IL. If you’re in the vicinity make sure to visit it (and the nearby charming city with tons of history, e.g. the term lobbying was coined in the DeSoto House Hotel here). Tours are given by elderly and knowledgeable docents which include charming details, e.g. during the tour around the globe mentioned, Grant was so well wined &dined that he gained 50lbs.
> The biggest single reason why the USA's (and to a lesser extent Canada's) internet is shite is because of the monopolies that exist.

New Zealand went from having a single provider for service and infrastructure, to having actual options. The breakup of the monopoly was imposed by regulation [1]. Following this there was a lot of taxpayer investment in fibre and while it’s been a flawed rollout, it’s made a hell of a difference. I’m on symmetric gigabit and have 2gb/s, 4gb/s and 8gb/s options if I pay more.

I was responding, slightly in jest, to the "Which is plain stupid" argument.
Broadband funding just funded some competition here.

Before: One ISP. Spectrum $120/mo 1Gb down & 40Mb up.

After: New choices of 8 fiber ISP. Opts inc $35 250Mb/250Mb, $50 1Gb/1Gb, $70 2.5Gb/2.5Gb, $120 10Gb/10Gb.

ISPs spend billions on politicians to make sure (the most possible) Americans don't have choices. They get their money's worth.

awesome project, might not last long if server costs arise.

but where are the images from ? scraped or self generated?
how can i make sure that they are not copyrighted?
No shit Sherlock.

With some exceptions physical attractiveness always adds to the chances.
I think Snikket has extra integration with their self-hosted server, making it more of a Slack/Teams competitor than a generic XMPP client.
Probably, but this kind of study isn't to convince you, it's to convince the other idiots who would claim being attractive doesn't make a difference, that showering and wearing deodorant is what makes an attorney successful.
The dot com bubble ended when the ecosystem of fairy tales and lies which built up around a technology were generally decided to be nothing but hot air.

yeah, it's possible to create a new client. It'd be a lot of work, though.

Some people make their own patches for the standard client if they have something they want to integrate. I don't really know much about that, though
I live in a city with a competitive municipal network and Google fiber. If you live in a house down the street from me, you can get 1gbit for $70.

Yet somehow, I'm paying $100 for 190mbit. The price and ISP (not the speed) are literally written into my apartment's lease agreement. This is an apartment managed by the same developer who owns every other apartment I can afford, so it's not as if I have any bargaining power here, either.

My parents, who live in a remote area, but happen to be next to a major fiber line, pay even more than I do for less than 20mbit FTTH!

I think we have made a grave mistake obsessing over the word, "monopoly". It doesn't take a monopoly for anti-competitive behavior to absolutely ruin a market. Even if healthy competition thrives in a market, some participants will find a way to abuse some customers.

We shouldn't be so lazy that we point a finger at what's working, and pretend the rest doesn't exist.
Interesting that they only looked at federal appellate court trials, where there are only judges. I would think there would be an even larger effect in jury trials.

Although the overall conclusion is not surprising, it is at least modestly surprising that professional judges (as opposed to jurors) are swayed by looks.

On the other hand, it's possible that there is a correlation between the best attorneys and the most attractive attorneys (because they were given many opportunities coming up through the ranks), and what is being measured in this study is actually the correlation between high-skill attorneys and winning outcomes.

I doubt that at the Supreme Court level there is any difference.
This is some research it would be cool to see: was TikTok adoption measurably slowed in countries where net neutrality violations were common?

For example, it's the norm across Africa for providers to offer plans with radically lower per-GB costs for WhatsApp, Youtube, and other mainstream apps, as a way to price discriminate and charge a premium to tech and white collar workers who need access to the actual Internet. In such countries you would expect TikTok adoption to happen more slowly than expected.
Can you go into a little detail on the expenses that 1m needs to cover?
I thought net neutrality was about ISPs trying to get netflix, facebook etc to pay them extra not to throttle.
The only throttling I've heard of here in the UK (which has lots of providers and competition) is on torrenting.

Are there examples of what you are talking about with zoom etc? Because as far as I can reason: if an isp throttled something like that in a high competition market, they'd lose their customers. And if it was a low user / start up phase app it wouldn't provide any competitive advantage for an isp to throttle it.
Completely obvious they are generated. Just zoom in on anything that has text and it’s easy to notice.
Can't say enough nice things about Borg and it's dedup. Saves me a lot of money in cloud storage.
They are being incentivized against an adverse outcome: the outcome of a paying passenger (or a whole planeload of paying passengers) missing their flight, connections, etc. That's why they make the decisions they do.

Accidentally carrying a non-paying passenger on an underbooked flight is also adverse I guess but it's not the only way the system can err and it's not the only thing they are trying to avoid.
Yeah, this is essentially it.

A whole bunch of state such as this is stored in the MySQL database rather than the client/client files, so it's definitely theoretically possible to spawn an NPC of Thrall on the throne in stormwind.
We don't disagree. I just thought it was obvious enough that an over regulated market isn't free that it need not be stated explicitly. Especially since this is the general belief.
Or the attorney has some success, spends the effort to get a professional photo, is motivated to brush their hair in the morning, and so it was better success that made them "attractive".
Amazing work! I like that I don't have to sign up to try it. I made a form in seconds using the UI (very nice UX) and then saw the AI button. Typed in a simple prompt and it worked perfectly.

I give you 5 out of 5 gold stars. UI is great.
Mobile ISPs like T-Mobile are quite open about wanting to offer plans that privilege certain services over others.

What's interesting is that the article claims the findings are that physical attractiveness has a greater effect (in gaining the judge's favor) than skin tone or "race". It also claims that while attractive women have a slightly higher success with male judges, even so gender is not that important for the effect to take place.

The problem is that there is an obvious interpretation (count the nuts) and a less obvious interpretation (count the spaces between the nuts) and if you don't see the less obvious interpretation immediately the people who see it will claim it's the obvious interpretation and you're a mathematical ignoramous for not noticing it immediately, as they did.

In truth that's probably coming from people who didn't immediately notice the obvious interpretation and had to squeeze their noggin hard to get it, and then got upset that they found it that hard and squeezed their nogging even more to find a less obvious interpretation to hold up and say "see, that's why I was confused, you're all wrong".

I'm being very mean in this thread. It's because it's all a big example of the Ludic (sic) fallacy, that I just learned about today and can't stop laughing.

Nobody expects you to say "yes, I want to defraud old people" but if evidence comes up that you intended to do illegal stuff they now have a simple case of you lying to the immigration officer.

Similarly to how you are supposed to pay taxes on income of illegal activities, if they find stacks of cash in your house it becomes easier to convict you.

Devnexus 2024
Big TVs used to be thousands of dollars, now they're $300. People used to pay money for long distance voice calls. 30 years ago 500GB of flash memory would have made you a millionaire, now it's less than $50. Prices come down when there is competition.

Bullshit jobs are the inverse of this. Some large organization has insufficient competition so it can waste resources without losing business. The law is excessively complicated so everyone in the jurisdiction has to hire compliance bureaucrats. Government contractors and employees doing unnecessary work want to keep their jobs and legislators don't want to lose their votes/money. Then everybody has to pay higher prices because they don't individually have the choice to avoid it.
Just about everything good is correlated, and also everything bad. We could also talk about the correlation between attractiveness and good health, or between IQ and healthiness, which surely works both ways, as well having common causes.

Sometimes when try to draw the casual graph, you find that it’s fully connected. There are all sorts of reasons for connections. It would be unusual for a correlation to be exactly zero.

But because people vary, it doesn’t mean that this sort of reasoning works well for individuals.
Then something is definitely up with either your device or your local network base station(s).

I used to have major problems with one network one particular street corner where data throughput would reliably drop to zero on 5G, but calls still went through somehow (even though they're also data on 5G, albeit with a different QoS). Signal strength was always shown as full. A phone restart would sometimes, but not always, fix it – without moving anywhere!

Never happened again since switching away. 5G is a standard/protocol; it doesn't somehow inherently prevent bad network management.
Renovate is still rough. My team has some repos that Renovate inexplicably doesn't vendor Go dependencies on, even though it works just fine with other repos with the same config.

> Why do these have to be in contention?

I never claimed. I simply pointed out that claiming something illegal is not being done by corporations due to increased competition is inherently a BS argument. It's not being done because it's illegal irrespective of the competitive landscape.

Agree largely with author, but this ‘wait for OpenAI to do it’ sentiment is not something valid. Opus for example is already much better (not only per my experience, but like… researchers evaluaiton). And
even for the fun of it - try some local inference, boy. If u know how to prompt it you definitely would be able to run local for the same tasks.

Like listening to my students all going to ‘call some API’ for their projects is really very sad to hear. Many startup fellows share this sentiment which a totally kills all the joy.
I wire my houses with cat6A that's shielded, and either CMR (indoor) or direct-burial CMX (outdoor-rated).

Why shielded: actually my personal reason isn't primarily for reducing EMI (though it's nice), but the shield makes the cable ever so slightly sturdier that it is more protected, so it reduces the risk of being accidentally damaged. I have had contractors doing work on the house who have accidentally damaged unshielded cables in the past, crushing them or pinching them I don't know how.

Why direct burial: for the same reason, they are sturdier and less likely to be damaged. I buy that even if I don't bury the cable.

Why CMX for outdoor locations: it's waterproof & UV resistant. In some spots I have no choice but to have a cable running along the exterior wall of the house. A cable that's not outdoor rated will see its jacket penetrated by humidity and broken down by the sun's UV. A conduit might help for UV, but not for humidity, see: https://www.truecable.com/blogs/cable-academy/selecting-the-...

Why cat6A: the cost increase is marginal over cat6 or cat5e. I have very long runs, for example a large property with outdoor wifi access points or security cameras. It gives me more flexibility in terms of locating network switches knowing I can run 10Gbps over 100m, instead of 55m (cat6), or less (cat5e).

Why not fiber: lack of POE. All my wifi access points and security cameras are POE. This is a huge pro for cost, flexibility, and reliability. No need to run a separate power line. Can locate the equipment truly wherever the network cable is. And with a battery-backup POE switch, all my hardwired security cameras continues recording during a power outage.
Better yet, step them in to where they represent the center of the intended squares, and then there's room for the extra three.

Good question! There are a few reasons. One is that we want to provide consistency across platforms. There is no "Conversations for iOS" but there is a Snikket for iOS, and we are working on more platforms. There are many XMPP clients around, but the goal is that when you install a Snikket app, you know what you are getting - and that it will be fully compatible with the Snikket server and the Snikket apps for other platforms.

The other reason is that it's not 100% a clone of Conversations, we have additional patches, but we contribute upstream whatever makes sense (e.g. we sponsored the invitation support that went into Conversations upstream). But the Snikket apps don't allow registration on public servers, because Snikket servers are designed to be private servers (whether that's self-hosted or hosted by us). Conversations (and most XMPP clients) allow registration on any public server. That's not the experience we're after.

I self-taught basic algebra with a "choose your own adventure" book that advanced to the next topic for correct answers and went through pages explaining the common misconceptions then returned to the question for incorrect.

(to be fair, class sizes were ~30 when was in school, so asking the learner about their understanding and correcting misunderstandings would not have been likely: assuming 40 minutes lecture time for a 50 minute class, that's 20 seconds per student, and at most ~2 minutes if no lecture time whatsoever)
It wasn't quite a TSR, it was more like a subshell. I remember using a similar feature in Telix in the early 90s.

It was a bit limited because you were still restricted to the usual 640kB memory space, and the original program remained in memory, so you typically didn't have a lot to work with. You could do things like file management while still connected to a remote BBS though.

Opus, yes, the $20/mo version. I usually don’t generate copy. My use cases are code (both “serious” and “the nice to have code I wouldn’t bother writing otherwise”), learning how to do stuff in unfamiliar domains, and just learning unfamiliar things in general. It works well as a very patient teacher, especially if you already have some degree of familiarity with the problem domain. I do have to check it against primary sources, which is how I know the percentage of hallucinations is very low. For code, however I don’t even have to do that, since as a professional software engineer I am the “primary source”.

Hot take from rest of HN: I don't think lack of competition is the cause for the slow uptake in the US.

Reliance Jio+Bharti Airtel, China Mobile+Telecom+Unicom, and NTT+KDDI are basically duo/triopolies yet were able to roll our 5G nationwide in just 2-4 years in India, China, and Japan while keeping competitive pricing, and make the US market look free in comparison.

The issue seems to be the relative lethargy of the FCC and regulators, along with issues around deprecating older infra.

This doesn't mean we should go all Reagan, but if this is streamlined at the executive level, it would really simplify everything.
> After all, all countries have land.

It certainly does in preindustrial societes. If we look at Europe before the industrialization there is a very direct relationship between the amount of fertile land per capita and wealth/income per capita (Malthusian trap).

In the 1600s and 1700s North Eastern US was probably the best place the world to live if we look at average QoL (.e.g. life expectancy alone was 10-20 years higher than back in England) and Americans were already very wealthy compared to average Europeans long before industrialization started mainly because of high abundance of land relative to population. Which resulted in extremely high natural population growth.
Haha everyone is different. If I had a terrorist attack happen while I was on shrooms it might have broken my mind permanently. I had one bad trip after about two dozen good trips (while I was expecting bad news) and it was so bad I never did shrooms again (that was 15 years ago).

Yes that sounds awesome, though I'd prefer having a single config file for the window manager, status bar, notifications, application launcher, lock screen and whatever else I forgot that are in the end part of the same experience.

One particular problem is theming: I'd like to set a theme in a single place for all the elements of my desktop environment. Not sure if it's fair to expect a bunch of independent opinionated developers who like to use weird graphics toolkits (when not drawing everything by themselves) to come up with a unified solution.

Another problem is the shortcuts. It's the same problem in (neo)vim when you build your awesome IDE-like setup based on 53 unrelated packages: you end up with an illogical, overlapping soup of keybindings. I think you need someone to take charge of unifying things to provide a coherent experience.
DCE is a standard compiler optimization that's been been around since at least the 80s. It's done in multiple different ways, and "tree shaking" is just one more way. Whether the term DCE is known doesn't seem relevant to what is the most descriptive and meaningful term for this optimization.
IIRC certain tree species (pine?) are unsuitable, but couldn't find such info on this page.
