A good way to justify games costing 100 USD/EUR or more, due to longer support period.

Personally, I don't support this, just because there were a few cases where studios closed support to an online game, doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be a rule. It is self-regulating pretty well. Games that are good, are going to be popular and don't need their servers closed. I personally don't expect mediocre games to have online support forever.
It's not hard to make electronic voting as tamperproof and reliable as paper ballots, it's impossible.

I wasn't a very fast typist, I could do about 180 strokes per minute. My teacher, a tiny 80 year old lady, talked the whole time to intentionally distract her 5-6 students. It was a hilarious experience. One time, when I had an extra slow day, the monologue was about her learning to type, the teaching diploma required 300 strokes per minute, from print, hand writing and dictation. Not on such a fancy electronic type writer! We had mechanical type writers! And no correction lint! She was not the fastest in her class by far and many had band-aids around smashed fingers. Trying to read type, not listen and not burst out in laughter I think she forced me down to 80 strokes per minute. Sometimes she had me sit next to a girl doing 450 strokes per minute. Sounded like a machine gun. They would have casual conversation with eye contact. I should not have noticed it, I was suppose to be typing.

When writing code and think about those "inevitable" bugs I always think of the old lady, who had 1000 ways of saying: you only think you are trying hard enough... and: we had no correction lint....

Take a piano, there is no backspace. You are suppose to get it right without mistakes.

If you have all of those fancy tools to find bugs, test code, the ability to quickly go back and forwards, of course there will be plenty mistakes.

If they need to be there no one knows.
It’s not entirely wrong even though there has been a 12% change the last month or so. The Yen is still historically cheap VS USD. Last time I was there you got like 110¥ for 1$. It’s around 140¥ today. But yeah, going there a few months ago would have been better.
“Oh, well, it tested well”, is a weird comeback, really. Well, then, the testing must not have been very good, Google.
My biggest problem with WebGPU is the documentation, especially if you delve into the native or emscripten variants. Not even fancy AI tools will save you - in fact in a lot of cases they make it worse as they often suggest solutions based on older webgpu variants or they make grossly inaccurate assumptions about how your particular webgpu implementation works.
Figuring out how to properly setup the "native" version was a nightmare, I had to find a random github project where someone thankfully made a SDL2 example.
I didn't really feel there was an active community that was interested in pointing me in the right direction either, more like a bunch of people too absorbed with building an API than actually caring about who is using it.
Maybe things will improve in the future but I remain skeptical.
I tend to also shutdown m laptops most of the time, unless I have been interrupted while doing something that I plan to continue a while later. They boot so fast these days and in contradiction to the 7500 tabs user mentioned in the article, I like starting from a clean sheet.

Blockchains are only verifiable and reliable in so far as everything that exists exits in the blockchain. As soon as it interfaces with the real world you start hitting the Oracle problem [1]. That you are not aware of this and still push for even considering it as an alternative to paper ballots is part of the problem. We need constitutional amendments that ban all forms of electronic voting in every democracy.

It is probably easier to add more functionality to existing ALUs. Various instruction sets have added "free" bonus operations, but one could go a step further and allow any two functions from a wide set to be combined, the intermediate value would not hit the registers, and thus save a store and a load relative to two individual instructions.
Talk about any issue you know a lot about to someone who knows nothing about it, and you will quickly understand why more direct democracy is an horrible idea.
This is great! As an indie game developer I care a great deal about game preservation. The game I'm working on requires Internet upon the first start and seamlessly syncs game state across your devices, but I pushed for open sourcing as much code as possible. We released 75% of the game's code under the MIT License[1], even before the game's full release. With the infra we built, we can publish the entire source within minutes once the game is no longer commercially viable.

The biggest problem with anything blockchain relating to the real world is the oracle problem. The benefits that blockchain offers are only applicable to things that exist on the blockchain, and people don't exist on the blockchain.

With Hugo, all the files needed to modify the external look of the site are inside the theme folder. That's a bit different with Jekyll.

About the URL: I didn’t know that, thanks. When I installed Jekyll, it was already set up with this URL scheme. Same for Hugo, it’s fhe default behavior, but it has a better scheme by default.

As a noob, I didn’t check this when I started with Jekyll years ago. Maybe the devs should change the default scheme. But the issue with the URL scheme isn't the date, it's that if you change the category of a post in Jekyll, it changes in the old posts too. And I don't understand if you can omit the category, all the examples in the documentation include it.

It is not personal feature requests, but rather a historical comparison with why VRML/X3D failed to gain popularity.

>A good way to justify games costing 100 USD/EUR or more, due to longer support period.

You're not required to support it longer, you just need to ensure the game is still playable after the support period for the people whose money you received.

Ubisoft killed The Crew servers and then actually revoked the game license from people who've bought it, so even if you bought and "owned" the game, it would no longer actually be in your library.

On a personal level, I'm happy about this. Having all personal info trackable is a tiring aspect of modern life? Remember when social media didn't zero out the exif on photos and anyone could easily grab a map to your family's home?

From the link:

> neither does it expect the publisher to provide resources for the said videogame once they discontinue it while leaving it in a reasonably functional (playable) state

This could not possibly mean forcing e.g. WoW to keep their servers running forever. It just means that if your game could be written without a phone home "feature", then it must be.

In other words, it would not justify an increased price. Publishers may choose to increase the price, because they don't actually need a justification in order to do that. But this legal change would not be a good reason.
Yeah. Okay. Sure. How do you feel about community-developed / open-source models that’ll certainly do the same thing citing “freedom” and “choice” as the justification.

If people are just salty about OpenAI and want to buy into the Sam Bad culture war then so be it, but trying to make sense of this contradictory backwards-engineered justification is tiring.
Nice, nice, very nice!
> I'm hoping that behind the scenes they really are looking at a better plan than just "work around it",

Airline-IT is mostly just a big pile of workarounds to cope with limitations from 40+ year old systems. I've worked with reservation systems and seen their modernizations through the years. Modern xml-formats shoving megabytes of data for every reservation. They are very wasteful, generously designed with redundant fields, long feature-lists and all kind of annoying shit. But at the end, your whole booking can still drip on the passenger's name being one character too long. Even after decades and multiple iterations of interfaces, at the core the systems today still depend on whatever someone in the 1960s considered as good enough for the US-market.
Replace "games" with "software" and we will get the freedom but probably a 2008 style crash.

I think there is a niche for electronic voting for low impact decision making. Used as such it could actually make societies more democratic.

Elections that have the potential to shift the power structure of a state are not low impact decisions. Paper ballots being slow and labour intensive is a feature, not a bug for really high stake decisions like who is in charge of a nuclear arsenal for the next years.

The more I know about electronics and programming the worse I think the idea of E-voting is for such occasions.

> Games that are good, are going to be popular

Games that pass a certain quality bar and were designed with mass appeal in mind are going to be popular.

I've played at least a few live-service games that I consider good, but were shutdown due to lack of popularity. Some of them I can't even find client files for to start working on a server.

Value is subjective - tons of games that are now considered cult classics didn't gain any meaningful popularity on release.
I agree, but am amazed that you didn't include on-board flash, too. I definitely miss that in the feature set (but have barely used the RP2040 so perhaps I'm just shouting at the clouds).
Your comment suggests that you don't work on a Windows PC very often: it is the common situation to find quite many older applications on the PC that are 32 bit. Just to give one example: until Visual Studio 2019, Visual Studio was still a 32 bit application.

Actually, there even today exist quite some vocal Windows users who would love to run some really old 16 bit applications on their 64 bit Windows PC (but Microsoft stopped supporting running 16 bit binaries on 64 bit Windows versions).
Pretty much all of them, really. Business concerns are always important because the union doesn't want to kill the business. That would be really bad.

In the case of this example, the manager was given a budget and that meant choosing staff. So she told my friend that he could go the easy way or the hard way. There are plenty of causes that the manager could dream up. It's not hard. If you want a cause, they can find one.
Then Google Maps is still in App form because... just kidding... we both already know why. =3

We solved this with a simple but novel solution that is doesn't break with rewording/paraphrasing. The problem we've run into is that teachers don't want to have the hard conversation when they get the evidence of cheating. And school leadership don't want to fix the issue, they want to put a chatbot on their resume. Sadly, I don't think OpenAI releasing this would have any effect fixing the problem. It's a problem with the people in education.

> It's an objective fact that closing coal plants and opening more expensive alternatives like wind and solar will raise prices.

It is also an objective fact
that in most places in the world new solar and wind (this may not be the case for wind anymore due to high interest rates) is cheaper than existing coal.

That’s why coals plants have been shutting down globally.

Now this may not be true specifically for Australia, which is one of the largest coal exporters in the world but your claim of what is and isn’t an objective fact isn’t true.

Finally, all this is simply the dollar amounts that are paid for. What is also an objective fact that energy generation from sources like coal cost the local and global population far more in terms of medical expenses due to pollution and damage due to climate change, costs which are not captured in the cost of coal but instead borne as an externality by everyone.

So no, your objective facts are blatantly wrong.

Edit: Also, if you actually read the article, renewable energy is cheaper than coal in Australia already and the reason for the high costs are due to expensive coal contracts signed a few years ago. Renewables are actually making Australian energy cheaper and coal is making it more expensive.
Rhetoric is extreme indeed nowadays, but it's always one side saying extreme things about the other side. It's clearly fake just based on the 'extreme self deprecating' direction of it. I don't think it muddies the waters anymore than other political sketches / comics / comedy moments / SNL / whatever you want.
In the most purely theoretical sense, you are correct, but everything Intel and AMD has said indicates they will still offer strong guarantees on the DOIT instructions:

In other words, they have announced the possibility of breaking that guarantee years before touching it, which is something the clang developers would never do.

Someone please define "reasonable playable state".

Because, for something like an MMORPG, "playable" means being able to run a server. So, what does "playable" entail? Source and internal sysops documentation? That isn't "playable" for the vast majority of people. Working binary? Now you may be required to develop these specifically for consumer hardware, and/or in different versions.

Example: MOBAs with ladders and matchmaking algorithms. You will likely need a separate server architecture that works independently of the userlist and matchmaking system. Bear in mind these systems are usually not made to be modular, they are custom-built to work in a given environment.

Not saying that it cannot be done, I am also supporting the idea, but there should be a VERY CLEAR definition of what counts as "reasonable playable state".
The info was basically on the crowdstrike whitepapers. You don't have to know the origin seal of every ingredient, but if you are allergic to peanuts, you ask if said dish has peanuts in it.

> It is self-regulating pretty well.

No it is definitely not. Companies are very abusive to consumers, especially as more games move to a live service model.

Good regulation, I hope it passes.

As for the price, I am not concerned. If customers reject higher price points, they will "self regulate" back to an acceptable level.

Ok so he basically made a hidden javascript based miner and tools to distribute it.

Couldn't find anything to support the claim that he would have tried to dox Krebs. Also "maintaining biggest ransomware crypto coin network" feels like a dishonest phrasing trying to make it sound like he had something to do with ransomware. Monero was practically never used for ransomware payments back when coinhive was active, and even today Bitcoin is the most used method for ransom payments by far. Monero was simply the most profitable coin to mine with CPU.

That being said I agree that I wouldn't trust any software made by this guy. Even the hidden miner was obviously highly unethical and probably illegal.

It is tough to convince oneself that all attack vectors are being considered. The key idea is that a coercer or briber cannot always monitor their subjects, which leaves a window of opportunity for voters to cast their desired vote and set up fake credentials for their devices. This assumption, however, falls apart when the coercer or briber asks for voters’ devices and corresponding PIN codes during the voting period. I am motivated by the belief that such an attack vector is, in most cases, unrealistic.

Regarding your suggested attack vector, where the briber asks for a video of the screen showing how the number is displayed on the screen, this can be resolved with fake credentials. When creating a fake PIN code, the voter can specify inputs and outputs to the device with which the video can be taken. Fake credentials can further create fake credentials, so it is not possible to distinguish them.

I think maybe this is only a big problem in climates that are on the cold side for tomatoes. The only problem I've had the last few years is tomato blight during one particularly rainy spring, and growing the tomatoes up a trellis and cutting away the excess lower leaves has been sufficient to control it.

Companion planting aromatics may help control pests as well - I usually plant as many of basil, rosemary, parsley, and cilantro as will take in the vicinity of the tomatoes.
