If games are a kind of software, why must games face this kind of regulation when other kinds of (actually more important) software doesn't / won't?

In saying this, I'm not in favor of this regulation, actually the opposite - because imagine if this regulation passed for games and then passed for software in general next.

MMORPGs are software provided as a service, but this proposed regulation wants to make them playable even after the service provider discontinues service. If applied to software in general then that means all SaaS once it has any customers, then it has the obligation to make (and keep?) that software usable indefinitely.

And what if the reason you had to discontinue was out of your control? Eg. one of your critical service providers went out of business? Guess you'll have to recreate that service provider's whole service so your now open source software can still work on top of it before you can actually go out of business yourself.

It is just an absurd expectation for game companies to have to consider this. And in the end it just makes it harder for the smaller not-established game companies while giving the bigger companies another boost, concentrating their advantage.

I assure you the paramedics will come down your driveway on foot. What kinda weird place do you live in?

So if someone falls in the woods and calls on a cell, you think they won't hike in to help? Really?

As in, if you get hurt off of a road, you're screwed? Come on!

Or you go to sleep, and wake up sick, but it snowed 2 feet over night. Now no one will ever ever come to help?

Your concerns are not based upon reality.

And you can fall in your basement and be just as trapped, right in the city!
Yes tws is printing numbers like crazy. Happy to be with solid broker :-D
It’s a bad ad and Google should feel bad about it. In an age where kids are already becoming too tech-dependent, making ad as about how we can make a kid depend on tech to do one more thing is kind of dumb.
I like the part about memory management. Arenas are so simple.

In the (toy) web server I'm writing I initially also started with arenas. However I quickly realized that I don't actually need to grow and shrink memory at all.

Currently I'm simply allocating the memory I need up front then slice it up into pieces for every module.

When we're programming, we often pretend like we could be needing arbitrary amounts of memory, but that's not necessarily the case.

Many things actually have very clear limits. For the rest one can often define them. And if you enumerate those, you know how much memory you will need.

It is fun to think about and define those limits up front. It builds a lot of confidence and promotes a healthy frugality.

> lobbying, campaign contributions, gifts, free speech

You’re conflating civics 101 actions. Lobbying is non-cash. Campaign contributions and PAC contributions are cash but not personal. All of the above are related to free speech.

Gifts are personal. That is what this article describes. Companies can legitimately provide gifts to electeds; think of sending samples to a committee considering regulating your company. This obviously doesn’t look like that. But playing dumb with basic civic terms doesn’t advance the conversation. (And if you legitimately don’t understand the difference between these terms, it shouldn’t take more than an hour to educate yourself.)

Hi, about your homepage screenshot: please don't use round checkboxes. Round should be reserved for the universally recognizable radio buttons, and square-ish for checkboxes.

Radio buttons are for picking only one option among a group of options.
Checkboxes are for lists of options where you can pick all of them if you want.
Make more incremental goals, to the point they may sound trivial. With small enough goals they become synonymous with the process.
It would entirely depend on who I have to implement it

And where it needs to be located

If I have AWS devs available, probably gonna use AWS

Likewise with GCP or Azure or DO or any of the other platforms out there

They are all (more-or-less) "valid" to use

If I have to learn a platform, I am probably going to pick one of the Big Three (if it is either location independent, or needs to be in the US)

If it needs to be domiciled in a particular coutnry/region, that will change my decision, too

Oh! And it also depends on what I were trying to build

Do not "ssh/other forms of remote" using ip addresses. Use domain names or local domain. It is easier to remember, is more secure (if configured in DNS), and less prone to errors.

> Can you redirect ports to specific local machines using only ipv6 (that implies they keep constant addresses)?

Yes. Use domain names in configuration files. It more robust, easier to read, and is better protected against network changes on the local network.

I have been part of multiple ISP changes and searching through configuration files for ISP specific IP address ranges is never fun. It wastes time and is prone to errors. In enterprise settings domain names rarely changes and even when they do, the old primary name are usually retained for backward compatibility. An ISP can get replaced fairly quickly if an alternative is cheaper or provide a better service.

> Can you easily switch between two internet connections going through different routers that are plugged into the same switch for any machine on your local network using only ipv6?

Are you talking about BGP? BGP is a fairly complex protocol and uses some archaic configuration syntax, but even so there are generally no differences between ipv4 and ipv6. It is the same pain making sure both ipv4 and ipv6 switch between the two routes correctly.
Danielle DiMartino Booth:America may already be in a "plain vanilla recession,"
Nope. We didn't evolve the ability to detect botulism in food because it's really, really rare unless you have the right conditions. Most of the stuff you'd find in nature has been exposed to oxygen, which prevents its growth. It's really only when you start putting things in jars (or in oil, or fermenting them in ways that use up all the oxygen) that it can thrive.

Per https://www.cdc.gov/botulism/prevention/index.html:
"You cannot see, smell, or taste the toxin that causes botulism. But taking even a small taste of food containing the toxin can be deadly."
Death by old age is mostly a problem of the multicellular living beings (where only a small fraction of their cells are converted into the cells of new young descendants), so it is not something that affects the majority of bacteria.

For most unicellular living beings there is no analog of death due to old age, even if their cells may be degraded by adverse environmental conditions, which can lead to the death of those cells before reproduction.

There are a few unicellular organisms that reproduce by an asymmetric division, in which case you could distinguish a "parent" and a "child". In such cases, the "parent" might be able to generate a finite number of "children", before being affected by some kind of senescence that sometimes may lead to death. Only for such unicellular organisms there may exist (or not) a relationship between their "longevity" and that of the multicellular living beings.

Another case of similarity to the aging of multicellular organisms is that for certain unicellular organisms that normally reproduce by simple division (mitosis) it is necessary from time to time to intercalate a syngamy-meiosis pair (i.e. a fusion of 2 cells followed by a division into 4 cells, to achieve the equivalent of a binary division of each of the original 2 cells). Without the intercalated syngamy-meiosis pair, such unicellular organisms seem not able to reproduce by simple division indefinitely. The state of such a cell that has passed through many simple divisions may be related to that of an old cell of a multicellular organism, or not.

Because multicellularity has appeared independently in many groups of living beings, even if most of them exhibit some kind of senescence there is no guarantee that it has the same causes.

Only for simple animals it is pretty certain that their aging mechanisms are related to those of humans.
I don't think it's ridiculous that if a company violates their SLA they should compensate their customers. A lot of hosting and cloud providers do this regardless of customer/contract size. The good ones will refund you automatically, and for others it's like pulling teeth.
Haha, yes. There are always assumptions to make or constraints to consider. But they are also often not obvious, so...

A quote by Fry from Futurama comes to mind:

" If games are a kind of software, why must games face this kind of regulation when other kinds of (actually more important) software doesn't / won't? "

I am neutral to the iniative but I can answer this question very clearly: Games are cultural products and you want to get the exact same experience (as you want to see the same film and not something else)

Using GIMP or Photoshop is a very different experience: Does it matter? Not so much. You can use an alternative and in case user will change. The Crew or Gran Turismo? You don't want to change so much.

How's laser launch research come since the 1970s? It's probably limited to launching metal hardware, but when the cost of a space elevator is compared to making a bunch really big lasers and putting them radially around some mirrors, it's something to think about. Is it an overheating problem? The mirrors and optics would just get fried?
Where does the responsibility of testing OS patches, AV updates and other automatic type installs fall? Systems deemed critical to your primary business must have some level of internal testing and validation in place from automatic external vendor updates.

I find it so funny that all the articles about this thing are so heavy handed about what you, the reader, are supposed to think about it. The ad is cute and the tech is good tool when you're not sure what kinds of things typically go into a piece of communication. There are lots of implicit rules about what's "supposed" to go into them.

I had to write a letter of recommendation recently and had
not done one before so I did literally what happened in the commercial and had gipty write a first draft. I suddenly had a tailor-made scaffold of what the letter was supposed to look like, the expected level of
formality, and topics I should cover. I rewrote it using the LLM response as a rough guide and when I sent it out my coworkers praised "how good with words" I am. And ya'know what, I am good with words but I also have a strong voice with an informal talkative tone that is hard to shake when I need to write business-formal. But the LLM has absorbed all those rules and can help me bridge the gap.

Yes. I did. As did other kids. We had gravel shoulders wide enough for cars to pull fully off, that's where we rode.

We also rode facing traffic. That way you could see a car coming although you can hear one coming for miles. The purpose of seeing was two fold, to see what type of car, and to see of they saw you.

Every kid knew to get over further when a car came, and get over further for wider vehicles.
Their statistics does include field failures, meaning failures reported by their customers, and they do note that the degrading problem may yet worsen the statistics in the coming months. They also note that they are applying (as they always have) more conservative settings than the often more aggressive motherboard defaults that other users tend to be using. They aren’t excusing Intels failures, they are presenting the data they have on hand, which is more than I have seen elsewhere.
This drives me a little nuts. There are something like 4 firms† in the world generally recognized as qualified for assessing cryptosystems, against dozens well-known and qualified to audit software but not cryptography. Cryptography is a rare specialty for software security people. How were you going to know whether an "audit" for age was meaningful?

† and, to be fair, dozens of independent practitioners
I mean, I'm opposed to lobbying and bribes as a whole.

Obviously, the solution is a blockchain and matching cryptocurrency where miners can generate flight IDs which the operators can then buy off of an exchange. I've already pre-mined all convenient and vanity flight IDs for a smooth launch, each ID will be sold at an automated blockchain auction with prices starting at $1000 each. IDs cannot be reused.

Somehow I was able to stay logged into schwab (checked markets at 6am EST) and it's working without a hitch on the other side of login, I was able to make trades at open.

So it seems it is the login servers that are getting destroyed, which is expected, but also annoying that this happens anytime volatility spikes. You'd think they would be prepared by now. Or maybe it's "overlooked" to dampen panic selling by retail...

Looking for feedback on our Open source tool for building RAG and iterating through different combinations of RAG components(chunking, embedding model, retrievers, rankers) and creating optimal RAG. Currently there seems to be no scientific way apart from trial and error. Our tool aims to reduce time spent on iterating and evaluating RAG.

I'm almost getting it but I feel like I need a step by step explanation. From what I understand the JPY had a low or negative interest rate which made it effectively 'free' or at least cheap to borrow funds in it.

So am I correct that it was supposed to work like the following:

- Borrow JPY at a low interest rate

- Convert to USD

- Buy stocks

- Sell stocks (ideally with profit)

- Convert to JPY

- Pay back JPY loan (which had a low interest rate, leaving more profit)

For this to work the JPY interest rate had to remain low and the yen had to remain cheap, both of which are now no longer certain which is exacerbated by investors cutting their losses en masse making the yen more expensive (and maybe increasing the effective interest rate as well?).
The statement is so vague it can't be true anyway. What's Europe? The continent, the EU or one of the organisations that EU membership often come with?

There are cases where removing "how" changes the meaning so much it's no longer accurate, but I assume the idea is that the submitter can always edit it back in. For example, a headline on nytimes now reads "How the 9/11 Plea Deal Came Undone". Someone who submits this as the title will feel compelled to reinsert "how" because "The 9/11 Plea Deal Came Undone" is too misleading as to the actual content.

Generally speaking though the rule may well be worth it. "How" and "why" are often overused in headlines to draw readers in by promising revelatory details about "how something works".

Both Fidelity and Schwab were fine for me on devices where I was already logged in, but logging into a new device wasn’t working.

This seems like a common issue - even if backend systems can take the load, login systems all seem to have a lower TPS limit and have a lot of trouble during big surge events like this. It reminds me a lot of when a new video game releases where the issue is often the login servers being overloaded.

Webgpu makes sense for anything that needs to render quickly or that needs a lot of control over how things get rendered.

A slideshow program with custom font rendering & line wrapping and nice shader based transitions between slides for instance.

Even something like a terminal/tty is much nicer when it renders at > 60fps with smooth scrolling. Very hard to do with DOM nodes.

Because of the web a generation of programmers has forgotten how fast and responsive applications can be. Webgpu can make the web feel fast again.

Because of NAT, it’s actually “IP + Port#” that is globally unique, and ultimately associated with a single physical network interface on a device (e.g an ethernet port on a PC).

There’s exceptions like broadcast IPs, but the point is that it is a system for uniquely locating devices and listening OS processes with IDs routinely shifting around.

I am genuinely worried me and my cohort’s lifespan 1996-20XX will be a period with an economy that continues to be as dysfunctional as it has been

Especially worried it will never be addressed, or will take painful (see: revolutionary) measures to address the challenges

—————

Where I live (Australia), we’ve had a decade of a conservative government. We finally voted in the more progressive party and instead of addressing the economic issues we’re facing, they’re strategically playing a small target platform (ie not introducing any substantial measures).

I personally don’t see the Australian or Canadian economies being equitable until ~2035-2040, where the cohort at birthrate peak (boomers) begin dying en masse.

Australia is a place of genuine demographic economic inequality for those born here, and still fairly economically adversarial to skilled migrants, let alone those who actually need an escape to a better place
I think you're arguing that it doesn't matter when a monopoly tries to slow down progress, because a competitor will then overtake them. It sounds like IBM misjudged the market. This isn't how it always plays out - for example, Amazon forces you not to list your products cheaper elsewhere if you want it displayed as a "Featured" buy. But because the lack of viable alternatives means that most sellers bend over backwards rather than take their business elsewhere.
