The third iteration of the PC strategy game, Grand Prix Manager, was meant to be in isometric. Instead of clicking on the "Designer" button, and going to a graphical database indicating how you'd proportional the designers work, you'd click on an isometric map of the office, and watch your PC walk there and discuss the new game plan.

The iso engine worked at 60fps, in 1024x748, back in 1997. But it was pulled. It was the right tech, but for the wrong game. When released GPM3 became GP World, it reverted to the traditional spreadsheet views of GPM1 & 2. (At least it looks like they kept most of my "3D" race code intact.)
Win-win for me.

I pay less per month for music for the whole family AND the artist make more for each play.

Bing is pretty much the next best engine, but also has targeted ads (albiet less intrusive) and IMO less relevant results without fine tuning. DuckDuckGo uses Bing's backend without targeted ads (but still uses ads). Kagi uses google backend but without Google's ad-optimized algorithms. But that's a subscription solution.

sadly your best "free" alteratives is going back to the days of smaller, specific communities, and searching through there. If the forum has a bad search, you go back to google but can then use Site:[website.com] as a filter to fine tune your results. .

Hmm a 7 min mile is equivalent to 13.79 km/h.

That gives you a hair over 13 min time on a 3000m run. When I was in the (Norwegian) military, that time would get you a 7 out of 9 score for males, and 8 (or 9) out of 9 score for females on a physical test. Pretty solid score.

It would also almost give you a sub 3 hour marathon.

You'd be a pretty capable runner if you can keep a steady 7 min mile, for the sake of running efficiently!
I'm perfectly fine sending my open source code to them. I'm also happy to send 95% of my private repos. Let's be honest, it's just boilerplate code not doing anything fancy, just routing/validating data for the remaining 5%. Nobody cares about that and it's exactly why I want AI to handle it. But I wouldn't send that remaining 5% to OpenAI either.
> But again, I can use this to justify anything.

No, you cannot. To use your above example, I very much doubt that anyone has a workable plan to prove the existence of biblical angels that they could formulate in enough reason and technical detail to begin construction on a multi-billion-dollar project.

People did, and do, have such plans for figuring out the reactions of elementary particles.

There is a difference between "science" and "anything".

> Why this basic science?

Because elementary particle physics pretty much explain how the basic building blocks of the universe, and the forces governing them, work, and thus provide the most essential framework to understand the natural world next to mathematics?

I'd say that's pretty important, and if we spend less than 30bn on that over a 10 year period, I'd call that a bargain, certainly compared to all the other crap society wastes money on.

As long as we have the dough to give trillions in handouts to billionaires so they can buy more yachts, private jets and islands, I'd say we can spare tuppence for the science that furthers our species understanding of the universe.
Yea, I've had the privilege of working with a few _excellent_ project managers (or Producers as they're called in gaming) and they work literal magic.

I've studied project management, I've managed projects and lead teams, but holy crap those people are on a whole other level with how well they gather and disseminate information and communicate it effectively.

None of them could code themselves out of a wet paper bag, but that's not the skill they get hired for.
It's a relatively recent convention though. Isometric means "equal measurement". The measurement along each axis has nothing necissarily to do with angles.

The only difference is if you "stack" tiles vertically they slightly offset in 2d space from ones that are offset 1x+1y.
Those positions were filled and then subsequently removed: https://blog.davep.org/2024/03/28/goodbye-textualize.html#go...
This is the reason we cancelled Spotify and moved to Apple Music.

Not only do they have a bunch of adult content hidden in there, but they also have tons of "video podcasts" available via search that are compilations of TikTok and streamer trash (like the one you linked). So if you are trying to keep young kids away from TikTok, trash-level Minecraft streamers, etc, but assume Spotify is safe because it is just music, your kids will find it and start getting hooked on TikTok via Spotify. It's really terrible and insidious. It feels like the tech industry is conspiring to get small children hooked.

There is a thread several years old on Spotify support where people have been complaining about this and they have done nothing. They are prioritizing engagement via crappy podcasts over delivering a music product that works for a range of customers (families, etc).

BTW, Apple Music has been totally fine as a replacement. I actually like it more. And there is a web app that will move all your old playlists over in minutes, so there's very little hassle in switching.
I don't know, but I remember hearing in a talk that the compiler had to be modified to insert them into the generated code.

Here's `isAsyncSafePoint`: https://github.com/golang/go/blob/d36353499f673c89a267a489be...

edit: The comments at the top of that file say:

// 3. Asynchronous safe-points occur at any instruction in user code
// where the goroutine can be safely paused and a conservative
// stack and register scan can find stack roots. The runtime can
// stop a goroutine at an async safe-point using a signal.

Out of cursiosity, what's the motivation of combining a bunch of different components yourself over building on something like Servo or webkit?
Well, for starters, you don't have to have your apps containerized to work with Nomad (though it can handle containers as well as executables).

But for some deeper details, I'd suggest checking out the comments in this reddit thread[0] (as well as some of the linked articles therein).

E.g. From a comment by /u/Golden_Age_Fallacy: A great use of Nomad is on reduce the burden of on-boarding a team(s) of developers who are unfamiliar with cloud native deployments / systems(even containers!).

Nomad jobspecs are very simple and straight forward, as compared to the complexity and pure option overload you get in k8s and helm.

From /u/neutralized: It's much easier to use than k8s. Easy to setup, easy to manage, much more shallow learning curve. Nothing super fancy. Just works. I migrated a startup I was at off of a self-managed k8s setup to Nomad a few years ago and they've never looked back.

From /u/esity: My team is currently building out a fully automated nomad cluster service offering internally(fortune 10)

It's super awesome. Easy. Little headache. Integrates with consul and vault. We are literally planning to replace thousands of vms for K8s with nomad. Containers are faster, more resilient and writing hcl is actually fun once you learn it

Now, there is a rather more lengthy comment, by /u/thomasbuchinger, that goes through the pros and cons he experienced in trying Nomad out and his conclusion is that, while he wouldn't discourage anyone from using it, "k3s and a few well-known simple projects give you 80% of Nomands [sic] features. Are as easy to operate, afford you more options in the future and have a ton of documentation/tutorials...available."

There are more comments in the thread and again links to a bunch of blogposts/articles/etc., including one from fly.io that seemed pretty detailed, discussing the Googly origins of both k8s and Nomad (fly.io used Nomad but found that it wasn't the best fit for them, which is also discussed in their post -- actually, I'm going to put the link to their post below[1], since I think it is worthwhile).

Hope all this helps.

Another way to look at it is, what about when you get rear-ended, wouldn't you prefer it was by a golf cart rather than something far taller and heavier?
Yeah. It’s completely unambiguously slimy. As a result, I feel absolutely zero connection with the author. Guessing that wasn’t the intention.
The Economist is very good IMHO. What I like is that they cover basically the whole world, which is not the case with local/national dailies in my locale. I prefer it in print though. Easier to focus on those long articles without all the digital distractions on my laptop.

The cost of retraining the whole user base in a dangerous environment will likely dwarf any small gain from making "better" controls.

As a case in point, the car in the article is so alien to what I'm currently using that I wouldn't feel comfortable driving it, knowing that it challenges significant parts of my driving routine which are not conscious.
I'm talking specifically about a graphical operating system for desktop purposes, something that people coming from Mac OS 9 or Windows 98/ME might have moved to. I think BeOS was far closer to providing that than Linux was in 2001, and that that might have mattered if it'd had been picked up and developed further as opposed to dying on the vine. I think there were a lot of people who looked into desktop Linux at that time but didn't take to it. A freed BeOS would have had a much better day-to-day alternative than Linux was, and running on cheap hardware unlike Mac OS X.

I don't really think your idea of A/B testing commercial vs. open source holds water. Look at what happened to OS X vs. Windows during the 00's, there's no comparison. There are so many other things at play.

I understand that this link is authwalled (by accounts that can be created for free), but it's telling of the medium how the actual paper itself is downvoted while the majority of the rest of the comments appear to either be tangential/unrelated to the article, or stem from misunderstandings of the actual paper; RTFA still applies after all these years.
That describes incremental compilation. Something Python is also capable of.

Dynamic compilation (i.e. compilation during execution and/or modifying the emitted compiled output during run-time -- depending on which school one prefers) was never a thing on the Lisp Machine, and is not even a thing in modern Lisp implementations like say SBCL which just does static compilation (compiled object is never modified when it has been compiled).

Completely invalid. The fines are currently ratcheting up significantly having passed the billion. That’s a very significant amount of money.

It should be a record struct, as record defaults to class.
Spotify - 6+4 (from app open to play), YT Music - 10+4. (+4 is the next album test) I don't get either of them push anything out of place to me. In Spotify Home the top 7 blocks on homepage are all relevant to or are what I'm listening. Either mixes of bands I'm listen to, or the bands/albums themselves. After block 7 the spam starts, e.g. "regional top 100" and similar. In YT Music it is even farther, only block 20 on home page is "charts", before it all blocks are relevant.
> If your software is only intended to demonstrate the existence of a security flaw but contains no payload, then it is less obviously criminal. Still technically so, I suppose, but not so obviously that you couldn't make some kind of argument.

I do not see anything criminal at all in writing some malware or exploits. _Applying_ them to a system, where they might cause damage however, that is a completely different matter.

You don't go after the blacksmith or manufacturer of kitchen knifes or guns either. You go after the one using them for the wrong purpose.

Long time lurker, first time posting because I love this concept and this is is how I (ADHD type) get stuff done without getting distracted.

I've always thought it was the same as the bubble sort algorithm we were taught in uni.

Take something one step towards where it belongs, and pick up anything going in the same direction you are.

Repeat that a few times and everything gets where it belongs. Not the most optimal algorithm (it's a bubble sort after all) but it helps.

Hi. Author here! I'll try to be unbiased and say that if she's just starting out I'm afraid there are better beginner-oriented resources out there for teens. Frankly, what I do is very niche and it's not really utilitarian for those starting out.

Depends on how many miles you are doing. If you only want to do 1 mile at 7 min, then that is doable, if you want to do 10k at that pace... I reckon you'd have to be a VERY fit and strong runner.

If it was a few years later, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some courses for the recent Unreal Editor for Fornite that could ease a new programmer in as an interactive way to script, while learning a relevant industry tool (then again, it may also go the route of Roblox, so who knows?).

Honestly, I'd defer to either mods or games with level editors as a way to help gauge how much a child would potentially enjoy programming. Then they could try sme visual scripting like Scratch to try and make something outside of that environment.

I referred to it in my other comment in this thread, but if you really want to boost your range, look into MAF (maximum aerobic fitness).

The general principle is that you stay in the metabolic range where you're primarily burning fat reserves rather than using glycogen. The body typically has sufficient reserves for about 30 minutes of maximum glycogen use. The faster you run, the more glycogen you're using compared to fat, and so the quicker you'll run out and hit the wall.

A lot of people don't get on with MAF because it forces you to stop running and walk a lot in the early stages (essentially, you have a target HR of 180-age and if your HR is above that, you switch to walking), and even when your body does adapt and you can keep running all the time, you have to run much, much slower than you think you're capable of and that you probably want to be running at. But, over time you'll find your body gets more efficient and your speed at the target HR goes up over time. But to translate it into normal terminologoy, it's like you're always training in zone 2, although for most people 180-age is lower than the calculated top of zone 2.

An anecdotal result is that I used to be exhausted at the end of a 5km because I was running as fast as I could. Within a few weeks of switching to MAF training, I was routinely doing 10km-15km without really feeling tired and within a month I'd accidentally done a half marathon (very slowly, of course) after getting lost and being stuck on the wrong side of the river for 4km longer than I planned, and then an extra 3km the other side. I was tired at the end of that, but I also never would have believed I was even capable of that distance a month earlier.

100 Go Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Arthritis is an auto-immune disorder, and while this might sound “basic” I would see what a high dose of vitamin D supplement can do for you, with preliminary blood work and a doctor’s approval of course. Vitamin D is very important in immune system regulation.

It has helped my mom who’s 74 (and has had it since early 50’s) significantly to the point where pain is mostly gone and inflammation is rare. It took about half a year for symptoms to be mostly gone. While it was my idea her doctor signed off on high dose (6000% typical daily allowance) prescription supplements considering the practically non-existing risk. Two years on and it’s stable and her life is a lot better.

Writing a Physics engine from scratch is a great fun. You can get results super quickly, it's very, very optimisable, and there's no end of features you can support. It's also surprisingly doable, in 2D. 3D is an entirely different can of worms.

It's also an incredibly humbling experience to write one, and benchmark it against Box2D to see just how slow your implementation is.
I read Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road” in one sitting (except for bathroom and food/beverage breaks). This was in law school when I needed an escape from studying on a Friday afternoon/evening/night. I don’t remember how long it took, but reading a book from start to finish in one session was a great experience — especially with that novel. I felt like I was there on the characters’ apocalyptic journey.
America and China's Chip Race
Well, the answer to the initial question is kind of obvious I think: running is less efficient (for the same speed) because when running more of your energy goes into vertical motion (jumping from one foot to the other) than into horizontal motion. Of course, above certain speeds walking just isn't "feasible" anymore, but running will never be as efficient as walking at the optimal speeds for walking.

...but if you want the most efficient way to travel only with the power of your own muscles, you need a bicycle :)
