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

I don't think that was the intended implication. I think the analogy is more akin to: "If send us a bug report, we'll fix it and ship a new version that you can download and use for free." In the olden days, you'd have to buy a new version of commercial software if it didn't work for your machine, complementary patches were rare.
Tried it based on your recommendation, but was a bit disappointed.

I asked Perplexity Pro about the difference between the Rapier and Jolt physics engines. It missed many things that’s clearly available in the docs such as determinism and JS language bindings for Jolt, which makes me afraid to trust it.

Also asked about best Italian pizza places near my address to try something completely different. The top result doesn’t serve pizza and the 2nd result was many kilometers away.

Not necessarily. The ending sequence with the plane on a motorway in "Full Throttle" had me on the edge of my seat when I played it for the first time, and on replays, too.
yeah, mobile gamers are a whole other audience with very different expectations from the console/PC market. Star Rail is a popular example, but also doesn't really help with the Jargon since it's one of those games that insists on inventing 50 new terms to describe what are probably common features. Simulated Universe => rouge-lite mode, Paths => roles, light cones/relics => gear, etc.

I was kind of scratching my head at what GP was getting at as well; I suspect that "better" has a different metric in the second case: i.e., the scientist is asking which chemical A or B has the stronger desired medical effect; the engineer is assuming we're going with chemical B, and trying to drive down cost of producing the chemical or improve lifespan of the pills or decrease discomfort administering or increase absorption speed or tweak the absorption curve or something like that. Those metrics are often much easier to measure than the effectiveness of the chemical itself, and much less scientifically interesting.

I'm clearly not going to understand your motivation so I think I'll stop here.

(edit: There is absolutely nothing stopping heuristics and DP being combined; in fact they have to be in eg. database optimisation. A pure DP solution to query optimisation will be optimal, but will take unbounded (lthough finite) time, which is unacceptable. DP and heuristics are combined to both guide the DP search and bound it after a strict time (usually a couple of seconds CPU) by when it is hopefully 'good enough').
The Deep Learning Interviews book (more specifically volume 2, based on the proposed contents) in the other thread is much more representative of ML interviews for candidates with at least an undergraduate level of machine learning training.

Note machine learning engineering is very different from model and data work, i.e. designing the experiments. There are plenty of jobs where you package Nvidia drivers and pytorch files into docker containers, or write low level C++ to e.g. implement a transformer network on a new device architecture. Those require nothing more than a cursory knowledge of machine learning, and you can essentially get away treating them as magical black box matrix multiplication formulas. Very few companies can actually afford the 7 figure salaries for actual frontier level machine learning research.

For example, if you want to run a GPT model on some obscure graphics chip, you are better off hiring a C++ computer graphics/embedded engineer to do it than a typical academic trained ML researcher. The engineer can implement a GPT model simply by building out the matrix multiplications, and can do a better job without even knowing what an activation function is.

The variation in local noise between different locations is huge. As an apartment dweller and radio amateur, this is something I am fighting every day and in a densely populated environment, the noise floor changes all the time, depending on which neighbor operates which electrical device at the time...

The amateur radio community is very aware of the problems and several initiatives have been launched to quantify the effects. One of them is the DARC's ENAMS, which is described in detail here:

UBI and the Anti-Work Vibe Shift
For the benefit of anybody thinking "with gitlab I'm safe from this": If you're saying (and perhaps you're not) that some other git hosting service

- gives you control over gc-ing their hosted remote?

- does not to your knowledge have a third-party public reflog or an events API or brute-forceable short hashes?

if so, especially the second of those seems a fragile assumption, because this is "just" the way git works (I'm not saying the consequences aren't easy to mentally gloss over). Even if gitlab lacks those things curently (but I think for example it does support short hashes), it's easy to imagine them showing up somehow retroactively.

If you're just agreeing with the grandparent post that github's naming ("private") is misleading or that the fork feature encourages this mistake: agreed.

Curious to know if any git hosting service does support gc-ing under user control.
Nit: "Bear in mind". "Bare" means "to make bare" (i.e., to uncover); "bear" means "to carry": "As you evaluate this discussion, carry it in your mind that..."
I see this is a 2004 post of a 1989 article.

Still, I'm not sure what the definition of "Adventure Game" is. To me, it's usually a game with graphics at the top (not required but most common), and 4 or so lines of text at the bottom. Some times you walk a character around. Other times you just type "exit door", "open drawer", "take key" (or pick from a menu)

Those games might have been dead in some form (King Quest, Monkey Island, etc...) but the basic form has been alive and kicking (a) in the form of Japanese story games and (b) as indie games on places like itch.io. It's covered with "story adventure games"

Of course most of those games would benefit from this list of rules.

I used to work at a Ruby shop. As a language, Ruby can be elegant despite the overall weirdness, and some of my coworkers were really productive with it.

On the other hand, the Ruby community seems stuck in the 2000s, with some of the self inflicted Ruby pains and attitude being fairly similar to what some Python devs were doing in the late Python 2 era.

These days, I still like Ruby and I would enjoy building some little project with it, but I would rather make a living using other stuff.
> just adjust the tax basis for inflation when calculating the capital gain.

which is fine, except that it's a huge administrative headache, as inflation is not constantly measured, and you will have to estimate it for periods where it's not known. Not to mention that it takes a lot more effort to do this.

Simply discounting capital gains tax is sufficient as a simplification.

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

I disagree. I hated turn limits in XCom1 (we're talking about remakes, not original 1993 game, right?), because they weren't really justified by the game world, but in XCom2 when you are the scrappy resistance on quick hit and run missions it really helps build up tension.
>I asked some friends who play gacha games and they mentioned “stamina” mechanics as something that makes these game addictive. I’d never heard of it before, but apparently you’re limited to perform X number of actions per day. You can purchase some additional stamina/actions, but this creates FOMO if you don’t log in every day.

yeah, stamina is a mixed bag. The downside is that it limits how much you play and forces you to play X amount if you don't want to waste it. the "upside" is that it equalizes out most player progress. If you aren't someone who spends a ton of money to buy more stamina (and few gacha bank on this as their revenue. It's 90% about the character releases) you'll probably have similar progression to your other friends, or if someone jumps in 1-2 months later they won't be completely in the dust to players who played day 1.

I think the other final straw is macro abuse. You don't limit stamina and the sweatiest gamers will simply automate the process and go beyond human limits of how much you can play. I think this is why even the few games I know that tried a stamina-less system end up implementing stamina. Similar to using captcha to limit web crawlers from the huge minority of those abusing it.

I should note though that modern gacha don't really "limit" your casual progress that much compared to western games. By the time stamina is a scarcity, you are probably finished with the story content and are simply grinding some form of gear, similar to an MMO. Stamina in modern gacha is there to limit that grind, not wall off playing the story.

The linked proof for that median of medians is O(n) feels counterintuitive to me. Here's a (simpler?) alternative.

T(0) = 0
T(1) = 1
T(n) = n + T(n/5) + T(7/10*n)

We want to prove that:

T(n) ≤ C*n

It is intuitive that T(a+b) ≥ T(a) + T(b), or in other words, T is superadditive. That can be shown by induction:

Induction base: it holds for all a+b < 1, the only case being a=0, b=0:

T(0+0) = 0 + T(0) + T(0) ≥ T(0) + T(0)

Induction step: suppose it holds for all a+b < k. Let a+b = k.

T(a+b) = T(k)
= k + T(k/5) + T(7/10*k)
≥ k + T(a/5) + T(b/5) + T(7/10*a) + T(7/10*b)
= [a + T(a/5) + T(7/10*a)] + [b + T(b/5) + T(7/10*b)]
= T(a) + T(b)

Because T is superadditive:

T(n) = n + T(n/5) + T(7/10*n)
≤ n + T(n/5 + 7/10*n)
= n + T(9/10*n)

Now we can apply the master theorem. Or to write out the proof (using a geometric series):

T(n) ≤ n + T(9/10*n)
≤ n * ∑ᵢ₌₀ᶦⁿᶠᶦⁿᶦᵗʸ (9/10)^i
= n * 1/(1-9/10)
= 10*n

So, we have shown the algorithm is O(n) with C=10 (or less).
I agree with this and don't worry friends! I am going to make the best adventure game ever soon! Have the plot ready already.

They've moved far from it now, but before they became Hoyoverse their mantra was simply "Tech Otakus save the world!". You see their earliest games (most which never left china) and you definitely get that vibe that this simply started as a few gamers wanting to just make something for themselves. I'm sure the payoff 10 years later was beyond their wildest dreams.

I don't think you're right here: according to MMT, removing money supply (I.E paying back debt and raising taxes) is deflationary,although raising taxes is preferred. I don't understand why strawmaning their positions is constructive (is it still strawmaning if you're saying the complete opposite). You can't make a good criticism of MMT while lying about their ideas.

I personally would prefer if MMT didn't exist. Or rather, I don't know. I had a marxist/neo-marxist critique of MMT, but I'm post-marxist now (for the dumbest Canadian psychoanalyst fans: it isn't the same thing, even though your idol seems to think it is).

It could possibly work, but generally the default skin and character itself is appealing enough. They don't really need another reason on top of that to pull.
Also, Fate can simply make a bunch of alts with new kits for that 1st banner revenue.

To explain to non-mobile players: "alts" are basically copies of usually poopular characters, but packaged as a new character. New lines, new skills, maybe a different element/role as a whole. It may or may not be used as a way to reuse assets depending on the quality of the game.

In theory I agree with your argument, but in practice I find it’s very often the AI and other dominant companies — often tech — that are at the root of the risk averse landscape you observe. To put it simply, major tech companies are among the greatest driving forces of that landscape because they would prefer to operate without any competition.

My point being “letting the risk adverse take risks” is not the same thing as “don’t rein in VC backed attempted monopolies”. You can do the latter without doing the former (theoretically of course; in practice doing the latter is impossible without a substantive change in the underlying incentive structure of current global society).
>On the command line, the context is obvious.

But CLI contexts are only obvious if the computer user is already familiar with the CLI which biases the learned mind to perceive things as obvious when they really are not.

A lot of CLI commands syntax are based on position instead of explicit argument names.

E.g. creating file system links via CLI has opposite syntax positions in Linux vs Windows:

- Linux: ln srcfile targetlink

- Windows : mklink targetlink srcfile

If one goes back & forth between the 2 operating systems, it's easy to mis-type the wrong syntax because the CLI doesn't make it obvious. On the other hand, using a GUI file browser like Ubuntu Nautlius or Windows Explorer lets a novice create links ("shortcuts") without memorizing CLI syntax.

This gap of knowledge is also why there is copy&paste cargo-culting of inscrutable ffmpeg, git, rsync, etc commands.

E.g. using ffmpeg to covert a DVD to mp4 by manually concatenating *.VOB files has very cumbersome and error-prone syntax. It's easier to use a visual GUI like Handbrake to click and choose the specific title/chapters to convert.

CLI vs GUI superiority depends on the task and the knowledge level of the user.
I wish I am joking but there are plenty of production instances doing less than 10 RPS per vCPU. ( I think the request part doesn't really explain well, since it could be a page view but it could also be an API request. In this case it is mostly referring to a page view )
Had tonnnns of deductions, mostly overhead costs, lots of categories of deductions carried forward

I would argue the same though, and I was in my post. The observation when filing with my CPAs was that the IRS knows very little especially between entity types that have their own filings

Even the CPAs generally arent the same. The ones doing retirement dont know the non profit stuff, and vice versa, the ones doing partnership forms dont know the other sections. The IRS technically has everything but its in different departments

but I can see the disincentive for the IRS, even if they disagree with one layer of deductions, another takes its place and simply doesnt carry forward. So the IRS could still wind up with nothing.

What's missing a bit here is debugging and tuning for >100 Gbps throughput. Serving HTTP at that scale often requires kTLS because the first bottleneck that appears is memory bandwidth.

But overall, a good read!
The majority of instrument makers of that time had to work almost solely to the market which was primarily working musicians who generally did not make much money, they did not have a massive middle class buying their instruments like we have today so most instruments were not terribly expensive. But music did not become a past time for the average person for a couple centuries with the rise of the guitar which was cheap on a whole new level and much cheaper than the lutes it replaced. The guitar gave us a good sounding instrument that was easy to make and easy to play without years of training and all the luthiers, musicians and composers were hopping on that band wagon to make a little extra cash which only fueled the romantic era guitar craze. The vast bulk of innovation when it comes to the acoustic guitar happened in this period and most of the "new" ideas we see these days were actually done centuries ago and a surprising amount of it by Rene LaCote who does not get anywhere near the recognition or credit he deserves.
