People will scream (including in this thread) that it’s “unfair” that ‘only the wealthy can afford them then’ but their beef is with scarcity and thus with reality. It’s always “unfair” to the 10,001st person who wants to attend the concert with 10,000 capacity. Today it’s a weird lottery with 6 different fan and credit-cardmember presales, which each sell out immediately, and the “backstop” at the end which is the ability to buy expensive scalped tickets.

There are finite tickets but unbounded demand. A lottery means you can slightly adjust the distribution of poor vs rich, but in practice today it still advantages those comfortable enough to sit around refreshing their computers at the right moment, instead of working. And lots of opportunists will snap up those tickets you are hoping poor people will get, to sell them to the wealthy.

In my opinion for in-demand shows it should just be a Dutch auction (all of the highest 10,000 bids win, awarded at some fixed cutoff date before the event). If not enough bids are received, the concert isn’t sold out, so then the rest go on sale for the lowest bid.

>It seems wrong that to sue someone for that in the first place, and then furthermore to win the case just seems wrong.

That's a lot of 'seems' that ignores that last hundred years or so modern farming and the case law around seed patents that has existed since the 30s.

> As children, before we're taught economics, we learn farmers plant seeds to grow corn to feed us. Suing the farmer for planting seeds hurts this very basic role we learned as kids.

Generally anytime someone's argument is based around an appeal to emotions, you can be they aren't dealing with reality and logical thinking. Doubly so when you're talking about planting corn when discussing a case about canola.
The specific space I participate in is a game development community. Due to it's very nature, it attracts minors.

The parentheses make sense because print is a function that has parameters, and more than just the string to be printed.

I suppose they could have given the option to continue using print as a statement if you don't care to override the default parameters, but having those parameters really simplified some options.

Since it was mentioned in the Macho Nacho video, this was quite a hurdle. But it does bring up the question, what is the theoretical maximum possible? I know the CPU was 32-bit, so 4GiB is the upper limit in that regard. I don't know if the CPU has limited address lanes or any other physical limitation though. The max I've seen discussed is 1.5GB for a similar cpu on a normal desktop and 640MB for the test design of the xbox (the literal pc version, not the dev kit).

Came here to comment the same. I was making fun of my housemates for being addicted to DOTA (a MOBA game), then during a "Use Map Settings" game of Starcraft I discovered and enjoyed playing a mod called "Aeon of Strife" and shared it with my housemates.

DOTA is a direct descendant of Aeon of Strife.

I had discovered the original DOTA, inside Starcraft.

TBH I almost always use mpv or ytdl these days.

I've used VLC successfully in the past on Android using the "stream" option. When I want to view video (as opposed to just listen to audio, my usual Android mpv use-case) that's delivered joy. On MacOS, I'll use mpv to play either audio only or video, with joy in both cases.

Don't forget that the other side of the equation is YouTube ACTIVELY WORKING TO BREAK COMPATIBILITY, and with considerable success. E.g., Invidious and Piped had been b0rk3n for a few months, though on checking again in the past few days, Invidious at least seems to be working again. So placing the whole burden on FOSS devs is at best exceedingly biased criticism. Those are in fact your friends, not Google.

When you start criminally charging people for mistakes in critical systems, what you're going to get is coverups.

With a no-fault system, mistakes are not covered up, but fixed.

With a fault system:

1. if a mistake is discovered, it will not be fixed because that would be an admission of criminal liability.

2. Quality will not be improved, because that is (again) an implicit admission that the previous design was faulty.

3. You won't get new airplane designs, because (again) any new design is an inherent risk.

I understand the desire for revenge, but there are heavy negative consequences for a revenge/punishment/fear based system.

P.S. I worked at Boeing on the 757 stabilizer trim system. At one point, I knew everything there was to know about it. It was a safety critical system. I did a lot of the double checking of other peoples' work on it.

I did not work in an atmosphere of fear.

The 757 in service proved an extremely reliable airplane. I've flown commercial on many 757s, and often would chat a bit with the flight crew. They were unanimous in their admiration for the airplane. Made me feel pretty good.
Superb correction, thanks!

Well, I live in the bible belt, and I'm pretty certain it was discrimination in my case because one of their "board of directors" posted a homophobic tweet the same day I was banned. It's an example of how we shouldn't mandate hosting any "special interest" groups using tax dollars, which was the GP's point.

I was not challenging the sole purpose of the group as in your example, they simply retaliated for personal reasons irrelevant to the group's purpose, which is unprofessional. The group is about software development, not my hometown. The only reason I was even talking to their admins in DM is because they were harassing me with confrontational dialogue over a tasteful joke that went over their heads. It's a toxic group, and our public university shouldn't be hosting their events.

> ticket fees (which can include a service fee, order processing fee, and the occasional delivery fee) are determined by and shared between the parties who have a hand in making live events happen including venues, Ticketmaster, sports teams, leagues and promoters

When the artist doesn't want their fans to be charged big fees - they have some say in it. Robert Smith of The Cure made a stand on this last year and got Ticketmaster to refund a bunch of money.

Canada (and US) has no leg to stand on because domestic emissions reduction is offset by simply choosing to be increasingly large net crude exporters after domestic use. At the end of the day, Canada is trending to enable more net fossil fuel use, whereas PRC is trending to reduce net fossil fuel (coal used for peaking not baseload) and via renewable exports that reduce demand for fossil.

As Canadian, the only disapointment is influence ops against Canadian fossil industry has stalled development so much for so long that we're not a larger fossil exporter and reaping in benefits of current geopolitical turmoil. EU could have been buying overpriced Canadian oil + lng.
Due to its abundant wind & solar, Alberta could easily get to ~70% renewable generation without any storage. So until Alberta hits that 70% mark, investing in a dollar on wind or solar generation will provide far more fiscal and decarbonization return than investing that dollar in storage.

Similar, investing a dollar in wind & solar will pay itself back very quickly. Investing that dollar into transport or industrial decarbonization will have a much longer return.

Not necessarily. A good business is also self-sustaining. This doesn't appear to be the case. There's no clear sustainable margin here against reliable time-proven alternatives.
Yeah we both agree that the decision isn’t “kill/not kill”.

It’s much more ambiguous and murky, especially when dealing with low probability events. That’s why it takes expertise, but it doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be accountability for those “expert” decisions. Other engineering domains already have this, there isnt anything that makes these decision inherently different.

>We check IDs for flights because airline yield management demands that there be no resale, or business travelers would be traveling on leisure fares.

Sorry, what? Surely business travelers pay more just by virtue of traveling by business class? Or, if travel through business portals was consistently significantly more expensive than just buying the ticket directly on the airline's website, businesses would just start buying tickets directly from the airline's website?

Is there something about how ticket fares are calculated and paid that I don't understand?

> We don't understand the processes in the brain well enough to assert that they are doing computation. Or to assert that they aren't!

We absolutely do know enough about neurons to know that neural networks are doing computation. Individual neurons integrate multiple inputs and produce an output based on those inputs, which is fundamentally a computational process. They also use a binary signaling system based on threshold potentials, analogous to digital computation.

With the right experimental setup, that computation can be quantified and predicted down to the microvolt. The only reason we can't do that with a full brain is the size of the electrodes.

> I don't believe in souls, but the brain might still be non-computable. There are more than two possibilities.

The real issue is neuroplasticity which is almost certainly critical to brain development. The physical hardware the computations are running on adapts and optimizes itself to the computations, for which I'm not sure we have an equivalent.

What I find really interesting is that there are so many scams that that the rejection of tickets is common enough to go unnoticed. Someone testing out their new "F-ticketmaster" ticket generation tool is free to test it in the real world. If it doesn't work they will simply be turned away the door like so many others who have been scammed. Nobody would notice the test.

But if each ticket is for a particular seat, would ticketmaster notice if too people came with tickets for the same seat? I bet not. I bet they just trust their ticketing system to be foolproof. If anything they might just reject the second ticket without any way to know which was authentic.

There's openlase https://github.com/marcan/openlase with which you can use the audio output through amplifiers to control galvos of a laser projector.

About 10 years ago a buddy of mine built a home-made RGB laser projector, using a red, green and blue lasers, and dichroic mirrors, and managed to drive it with MAME to run battlezone and some other vector games. The laser projector itself is quite dangerous, and we're probably lucky we didn't end up blind, so I wouldn't really advise doing this.

This shows up in CCD sensors where you have two green pixels, one red, and one blue in a 2x2 square.

You can see the sensitivity as part of the ppmtopgm program.

ppmtopgm (https://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/ppmtopgm.html)

ppmtopgm reads a PPM as input and produces a PGM as output. The output is a "black and white" rendering of the original image, as in a black and white photograph. The quantization formula ppmtopgm uses is y = .299 r + .587 g + .114 b.

Note the coefficient for blue is 0.114 and green is 0.587.
