Google didn’t know in 2006 where cell phones were headed. If they did, they wouldn’t have made an Android as a BlackBerry clone.

No company can accurately predict where technology is headed a decade from now.
Nah, the idea is that if anyone wants to continue it, they can fork it and create their own infrastructure and management, instead of trying to preserve the existing way things are ran.

I found the post you're replying to helpful (and it made me laugh): I've come across the abbreviation POLA many times, with its non-jokey meaning "principle of least authority". I've also come across "principle of least astonishment" (Larry Wall or some other Perl contributor maybe?) but I'd never noticed that was (presumably?) a jokey reference to principle of least authority - I guess because I came across the joke first back was I was barely a programmer and I've never seen it abbreviated.

But maybe it never was a reference to POLA proper - "principle of least privilege" is more widespread I think, outside of the object capability community. And maybe "least astonishment" came first!

Did Linux distros actually offer support at some point? (By what I assume would be some project contributor ssh-ing into your machine)

My impression was always the arguments were more like "Well yes, but we have this literal building full of technical manuals that describe every bolt and screw of your tank - and we can give you a copy of all of them for free! And think about it - after you have taken some modest effort to read and learn all of them by heart, you'll be able to fix and even modify your tank all on your own! No more dependence on crooked car dealers! And if you need help, we have monthly community meetups you can attend and talk with people just as tank-crazy as you are! (please only attend if you're sufficiently tank-crazy, and PLEASE only after you read the manuals)"

Probably some, but I think it works more like the crowdfunding model. The first few days of the banner has the biggest spenders go hard, and then it cools down and ramps up slightly by the end. The former is going to include a lot of spenders going for 6 copies, so they are much less elastic in how to optimally spend on the banner.
The clients are the open source part of Tailscale. They can be forked and built by someone else if required.

However I do not think Tailscale is going to remove the custom control URL feature from their mobile clients. For one, I think there are legitimate "Tailscale Enterprise" use-cases for the custom login server.

Additionally, I have heard that Tailscale has been supportive of the Headscale project, providing assistance to the devs.

Further, Tailscale seems fairly committed to keeping their clients open sourced, and engaging in the developer community. Of course as you can say this can change at any time.
This is so annoying about the hype around ARM, for which even smart people fall. Yes, Apple Silicon is good, but it's not because of ARM ISA. I still keep hearing that ARM is RISC which is wrong since the 1990s.

Are you citing a weird racist blogger on medium that disagrees with the stated conclusion of the paper? Is that how science works now?

Abstract from the original paper:

> A change in the audition procedures of symphony orchestras--adoption of "blind" auditions with a "screen" to conceal the candidate's identity from the jury--provides a test for sex-biased hiring. Using data from actual auditions, in an individual fixed-effects framework, we find that the screen increases the probability a woman will be advanced and hired. Although some of our estimates have large standard errors and there is one persistent effect in the opposite direction, the weight of the evidence suggests that the blind audition procedure fostered impartiality in hiring and increased the proportion women in symphony orchestras.

Let’s stipulate that all you said was true. How is EU regulation suppose to prevent that? Are they going to stop open source models from being used in Europe? Are they going to stop foreign adversaries from using deep fakes?

It’s just like trying to restrict DVD encryption keys from being published or 128 bit encryption from being “exported” in browsers back in the car.

While I share the opinion that the command line is _the one true way_ of computing, I don't think this is really all that true. Computers are alien. GUIs are alien. CLIs are alien. Everything is learned. Everything is experience. Everything is culture. Learning, experience, and culture blind us from the experience of the novice. This is "expert blindness".

"I wrote this back in 1989 while I was designing Monkey Island."

The first Monkey Island. Of course the design advice seems fine, since he (and the old LucasArts) applied it in several acclaimed titles that make all the "best computer games ever" lists after the article was written :)
Ruby is nice, I just find the DX to be far behind the other languages. Like code completion is barely working.
There's a big implication in the article itself that the monetization structure of such gacha goes at odds with the fundamentals of game design. The only real benefit is that

1. some huge giga spends are more or less subsidizing your experience so you can play this game for no cost. This is obviously a boon in low income countries where a console game can be an extreme luxury to buy new.

2. The game can provide an RPG experience that will continually update for years, compared to a traditional RPG that is either one and done (possibly rushing out the last third and never following up on plot threads) or needs to sequel bait for the next entry in 3-4 years (on the most generous side).

so it really comes down to your personal situation on if this is liberating or a bastardization of the genre.
This would have been such a great resource for me just a few weeks ago!

We wanted to have finally encrypt the L2 links between our DCs and got quotes from a number of providers for hardware appliances, and I was like, "no WAY this ought to cost that much!', and went off to try to build something myself that hauled Ethernet frames over a wireguard overlay network at 10Gbps using COTS hardware. I did pull it off after a tenday of work or so, undercutting the cheapest offer by about 70% (and the most expensive one by about 95% or so...), but there was a lot of intricate reading and experimentation involved.

I am looking forward to validate my understanding against the content of this article - it looks very promising and comprehensive at first and second glance! Thanks for creating and posting it.
Not for political reasons. It's because you're such a debaucherous womanizer! ;)

I read that as "time limits are bad drama", not how the game is presented.

It can be badly done in a turn based game too, see XCom 2.

If you don't like RTS games you don't like RTS games, but this is more about, say, a RTS where you also have a fixed time limit for missions.

The comment you’re replying to specifically discusses Fifth Amendment rights. The police would not generally be violating those rights by entering your house without a warrant. That would be a Fourth Amendment issue.

I think that people outside EU who believe it does not need big tech may be unaware that average salary in EU IT is around 80k, and actually a lot of people (not only IT, but also doctors, for instance) relocate to US/UK/Swiss hoping to make much more money. Its not clear who will be running innovative companies here and how EU is going to compete with China's completely different work ethics.
Hmm, I think it comes down to what the definition of "testing" and "attempt". A human will generate many ideas, and eliminate them without creating full proofs, by just seeing that the idea is going in the wrong direction.

It sounds like AlphaProof will doggedly create full proofs for each idea.

Is what the human is doing testing attempts?
>but gacha != F2P

it varies immensely, and honestly there's no consensus among gacha players what f2p even truly means. It could mean that you can experience all content and eventually pulled some desired characters without paying (e.g. no paywalled characters nor features save cosmetics). It could be more based on a vague metric on how competitive a free player can be in the game (e.g. obviously not going to be top 100 in most games, but maybe top 1000 for a player who plans). It could mean you get a lot of pulls and can grab most of the roster without spending (with whales going for dupes to make money). etc.

People will probably argue about it until the end of time, and I dont particular care to give my take on it. Just wanted to share a few other perspectives.
That just moves the problem to the definition of “metaphysical”. If a scientific theory is falsifiable, by what definition can it be considered metaphysical?

You say that like it's a bad thing.

For me, XP is what drove me to Linux full-time. (Later, a bit of Mac OS X on the desktop, when I could afford the hardware.) But I've always kept a toe in the Windows pie, the tool that, after MS-DOS, built my career.

Win11 makes me almost nostalgic for Win10. But Win10 is a sad crippled thing, it's just that you're allowed to prune it back hard. (Removing all Modern apps, for instance.) Do that to 11, it dies.

But using Win10 for a couple of hours a year is enough.

Recently a friend bemoaned being forced to move to Win10 because 7 wasn't getting updates and drivers, and apps were no longer working. So I tried a couple of fresh installs. It's so much better it's not funny; it's sad.

So I reached back and put XP64 on an old spare Core 2 Duo. It flies along. It's so snappy and responsive and so lightweight. It will run, not usefully but functionally, in 64MB of RAM. Pruned down hard it takes about 50MB. It doesn't fill a CD.

I am now idly considering trying Windows 2000 on my lowest-end functional laptop.
I read it, but I don't get why it's needed, because everyone has USB cables to charge the device anyway, that can be used to attach it to a computer.

Disagree. To me this is like saying parents can always just abandon their children. Zuckerberg likely feels an overwhelming responsibility to show up as the CEO. Could he technically not show up? Sure. And any parent can technically not show up for their children. Both of them feel overwhelming responsibility to show up. In fact often the draw to work is stronger than children, hence so many stories of parents putting work first, not because they need the money, but, because they feel responsible for things at work.
Not the parent, but security through compartmentalization seems like a more robust approach. See: Qubes OS.
Are you able to share your code? I'd be fascinated to see how you would do that.

One thing I don’t understand. The article claims that we need to pay rent to big corps like AWS, which is true only if you’re offering something on the internet (e.g., you have a saas). As a consumer I don’t pay to AWS, I only pay to my isp.
Now, the article wants everyone (the ones who have something to offer, and the consumers) to switch to this new internet… so both producers and consumers (peers now) need to pay rent to tailscale (unless you selfhost, but selfhosting is like the first story tell tell in the article about asking your isp for a static ip address, opening ports and the like; self hosting is too much work).

Smells like more centralisation, not less.

I understand it as the game can adjust the time behaviour of NPCs to improve the players experience. If you are a spy who needs to meet your contact at the cafe at 1pm then getting delayed by an interesting side quest and arriving at 1:20, in the real world you screwed up and your mission is done. If you do that in a game then it’s boring and you probably won’t realise and wait hours at a cafe. Instead the NPC can simply arrive 20 minutes late. There were games then that had the real world clock approach and would be hard to play - I think for monkey island he actually built a scheduler to avoid this
>It's just the same tedium but you change the combos every 10000 repeats?

if you're going to reduce it to that, we ultimately can go back to the 90's and consider all video games as a useless waste of time that corrupts the mind.

Ultimately, you figure out why games are fun for yourself and focus in on that, be it gameplay, story, charactters, art direction, or simply comfort (I'm sure I can find a few friends who easily threw X000 hours into Stardew Valley). I don't like competitive FPS, but people have made friends, professions, and entertainment just around watching other people play those games. Let alone their own personal experience.

>The worst is when some title is succesful and they get money and they make a sequel that's thrice as big.

that's simply consumer demand, and despite that meme most people are not asking for shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less. Fortunately, games are diverse and you can definitely tailor to your needs unless you must have AAA graphics for your presentation. There are thousands of indies released yearly, but maybe a hundred AAA on a good year spread across a dozen genres.
I agree with you, but I think there's a caveat. The command line is king in Linux, BSD, MacOS, AIX, and to a lesser extent Windows. These operating systems were crafted from the bottom up with the commandline as a foundational layer. The idea of the context, of the "working directory", the "environment", were concepts that were lifted from that commandline centric world, into what we run now.

I think Windows very much wanted to be something different with COM. Instead of starting a shell in the context of the program, you'd connect some external "shell" into the very object graph if your program to inspect it. It turns out to be very difficult, and Windows has largely retreated to commandline centric architecture, but I think there was some essential attempt at foundational innovation there.

I would argue that the commandline has very much proven to be the best trade-off between being useful and being simple, but there is no saying if there exists some alternative.
That just shows us that the companies don't give a shit and are implementing every dark pattern under the sun to keep harvesting data. The ePrivacy bill, GDPR and the EU cookie laws say nothing about cookie banners or anything of the sort, companies just make it as annoying as possible so that people get tired by it and mindlessly click reject.

Guess what, the whole hidden reject thing? That's not legal. Opting out should be equally as easy (or easier) than opting in, which a lot of EU companies realize.

Ok, so you're asking why every visible color has to lie within the bounds of the spectral locus in the chromaticity diagram?

The reasoning is simple:

1. Spectral colors are basis vectors of the color spectrum. I.e. every possible spectrum can be thought of as a weighted sum of infinitely many Dirac deltas. With nonnegative weights, in particular, so it's a so-called conical combination (i.e. linear combination with nonnegative weights).

2. Taking the inner product with color matching functions is a linear transformation from this infinite dimensional space spanned by spectral colors to a 3-dimensional space. Linearity means that weighted sums are preserved, that is: every possible color spectrum's XYZ values are going to be the weighted sum of the spectral colors' XYZ values. And because the XYZ color matching functions are nonnegative everywhere, conical combinations are also preserved.

3. And finally, the conversion from XYZ to xyz is such, that it turns conical combinations into convex combinations (i.e. conical combinations where the weights sum to 1). It's easy to verify this with pen and paper.

It follows, that every color on the xy chart is going to be a convex combination of xy points corresponding to spectral colors, which geometrically means that they're going to lie inside the spectral colors' convex hull.
