That sounds like a question for your psychologist, not randoms on the internet.

To interact a little more with the substance. I don't think I understand what you're saying. You're clearly using the concept when you write

>I don’t mean that in the negative sense that I think I am worthless or anything

That's what negative self-worth is. You seem to understand it fine. self-worth is your subjective assessment of how much you are worth. The self's assessment of the "worth" (whatever you choose to load into that term) of the self.
I guarantee you that was not the actual problem with this game. The more inclusive part of this game was barely talked about because most don’t care and have realized they the world is bigger than their narrow view.

Most games today are diverse, some more than others. Including many Sony games that sell incredibly well.
That’s helpful. How about Nostro and Vostro accounts used as the balancing item with sub-ledgers like agency banks. (In essence memorandum accounts on a control account)

How would you handle a three legged agency bank transaction as you get in a BACS file (source, Nostro, destination).
Does this handle a host reboot?
Fascinating to see how the paint cracked. I zoomed in around the faces of the three men on the bottom right hand side and there are light areas on their faces with few cracks and dark areas with lots of cracks, eg around the noses. I wonder what caused that.

I read it carefully. Your claim was it's not greener for everyone. It is because the additional costs in terms of emissions are paid off in less than 20k miles. This is a little bit more than the average per year. It's possible a car travels less than that during its life span, but it's so small it's irrelevant. That's like saying it makes financial sense playing the lottery just because someone occasionally wins.

Very vaguely related to image detail but you know what similarly impressed the heck out of me:

well that telescope (interferometer) could also image a TENNIS BALL on the MOON

If you like Makefiles to run random tasks, and insist on not using the proper syntax for that, use `just` instead. It uses the same syntax, but actually for running tasks and not producing files, so you don't need .PHONY statements.
The thing is, you can tune driver assist to whatever form you like; but then you have a true comparison of function with established competitors.

You don’t think the vendors who are years behind on dependency updates are skimping? Not the ones who are still struggling to ship patches on a better than quarterly cadence? Not the ones who still ship 90s-style C code to enterprise customers who are paying high prices for their security products? Not the ones still writing new code in memory unsafe languages? Not the ones who still tell customers to disable SELinux? Not the ones who still refuse to use the sandboxing features in modern operating systems?

Companies love the idea that you can’t hold the liable for any defect they didn’t intentionally build in, but software is the extreme outlier where they were able to avoid consumer safety regulations and thus the expense of hiring people who can even tell when something is risky. Shift the cost back to the supplier would restore the market feedback mechanism which is currently missing, greatly improving the health of the industry.
The difference being that Star Citizen has some very passionate fans willing to put an obscene amount of time and money into the game. Lots of people dislike that game or think it's a grift, but lots of people also like it and throw lots of money at it for things like fancy virtual ships.

Concord basically doesn't have fans, at least in any number that can support a moderately successful game. No matter what they did business wise, the idea and characters and world simply weren't appealing enough to justify the work put into it.
The videogames industry is completely paralyzed by fear of conflict.

It's very sad and products are failing all over the place while the industry works it's way through this. It might not make it as the current solution is to homogonize all staff and remove their intrinsic value.

Might also be possible to inject water into the compressed exhaust gasses. The water evaporates and creates the second power stroke, while lowering the temperature of the exhaust gasses. There's quite a lot of energy left in the exhaust gasses otherwise.

This is not a new idea but it creates mechanical complexity and higher requirements on the materials of the piston and cylinder.

I didn't know that. I was wondering how a team of only 25 people could make so many games. This makes it less of a big deal in my mind. Sure the publisher can be important in providing funding for games and which games get a marketing budget but they still aren't making them.
While I agree with the main point you're making, I have to note that likening school playgrounds to markets is a questionable analogy. Schools are far closer to prisons than markets - in fact, I can't come up with a single way that school playgrounds are similar to markets other than the fact that they both involve humans.
I'm a programmer, not an engine guy. From the description in the article, they do one intake stroke, two pairs of compression-power strokes, followed by an exhaust stroke.

Also, it seems the initial compression-power strokes are done with the piston moving lower, ie both lower top dead center and bottom dead center, hence would have lower compression, and the second moving higher so with higher compression.

From my understanding of more fuel means less compression is tolerated before knocking[1], and vice versa.

So do I understand it correctly that their idea then to make the first power stroke rather rich with lower compression ratio to eliminate knock, and the second at a higher compression ratio to burn the remaining unburnt fuel? Or the other way around, ie lean with high compression first?

If so, it seems like an evolution of variable compression ratio engines[2].

edit: my morning-brain is having issues with thinking about how air-fuel ratio change in rich-burning vs lean-burning scenarios. So perhaps they aim for a good stoichiometric ratio and rely on the exhaust gasses to avoid knock when increasing compression the second time around?

And every CVSS score is 9.8, because it's designed to never underestimate potential risk, no matter how absurdly unlikely, rather than be realistic about the actual risk.
This is very good explanation, no judgment and simply educational. Appreciated

Though I'm still surprised that some people run DB alteration on application start up. Never saw one in real life.
But you don't have an additional intake stroke, so there's limited oxygen in the second power stroke to burn.

It sounds more like they're running fuel-lean, then possibly adding more fuel before the second compression stroke.

Plastic is just meh.. I'd rather have an unrepairable device than one made of plastic.

It almost sounds like they have accidentally created a battery with electrodes and an organic layer. A battery could exhibit some of the characteristics they measure, such as increasing voltage with temperature. The test would be to see for how long it produces power. If it produces power for weeks or months it's probably not a battery. All of their measurements to characterize the device seem likely to have taken place over a short time frame.
Very nice and inspiring idea I will try to implement it and my project
You know that some of the most profitable companies in the world are software companies, right? Putting more resources into security and robustness wouldn’t mean a copy of Excel costs $5,000, it’d mean that Microsoft’s profit margins go down slightly and they ship new features slightly slower. The incredible leverage of software engineering would still mean that they’re amortizing those costs across a billion users.

Social Initiation
I've never heard of anything remotely like that occurring in the restaurant industry and servers - but there are industries where the reach of someone would be important for hiring or booking them for a gig. In today's world, social media followers is one of those proxies we tend to default to for reach.

But a similar thing has been part of the service industry for a long time - attractive and charismatic people will often get the best shifts, even if they're not necessarily the hardest working or best at the other aspects of the job. I suspect if such a thing around the followers is happening now, it's just the a new manifestation of the same underlying cause.
Does the iPhone still display warnings about "genuineness" of replacement parts, even if they're the original/official Apple parts?

That kind of ruins the whole idea of "officially letting people repair their stuff" as if I replace my own battery, I can no longer trust other parts won't be switched by someone else at a later point, as I'll see the same warning regardless...
The difference is this: No EULA can override an organisation's legal obligations. Most countries have fairly robust "fit for use" laws, so if you sell something and it is not fit for use you can be taken to court. If there is no sale then there is no "fit for use" protection.

I do not mean this to imply I think commercial software is superior to free software, I am a great believer in FOSS, I just wnat to show a reason why a "scary" warning in commercial software is not equivalent to the same warning in FOSS.
> Good luck writing Makefiles for Fortran, OCaml or (whenever they will really, actually work) C++ modules.

I've successfully written Makefiles for Fortran and they worked with ifort/ifx and gfort. In my experiments I've also made GNU Cobol, GNU Modula-2 and Vishap Oberon fit within the Makefile paradigm without much trouble. You have failed to provide reasons as to why those languages in particular (or more likely any language that's not of C heritage) can't be used with Makefiles. For instance, you can definitely couple OCaml with Makefiles, just use ocamlopt and treat .cmx files as object files, generated beforehand by ocamlopt -c (like you'd do with GCC). I am not familiar with C++ modules and as such I didn't experiment with them.

At the beginning sure, the average 21 year old spends more because of CC’s. But most people don’t die or default young. If someone doesn’t pay off that debt by ~28 they’ll spend more in interest than whatever the item was and still need to keep paying down debt / keep paying interest.

Take that same person and remove the impulse buying at 21 and by 28 they will have saved that money to make those same purchases and not have to service debt after that point or try to dig themselves out of a hole.

Even if they end up saving the money for years, it’s likelihood to end up as a down payment on a house or something. Because the economy isn’t just individual purchases it’s the average activity across generations at each individual moment.
> I understand these issues and project maintainers don’t owe random people a merge. But they do owe random people a little clarity about what should be expected as a potential contributor.

Absolutely not, no.

A potential contributor can start by assessing the project. This can begin by politely asking the maintainer whether a particular patch will be accepted. Or, the contributor can examine the project history.

If the potential contributor receives no response, or sees no indication of a robust history of merging patches, then assume no patches will be merged. The code is there for the taking. The contributor is free to fork it and modify at will.

Rich Hickey said this best:

"As a user of something open source you are not thereby entitled to anything at all. You are not entitled to contribute. You are not entitled to features. You are not entitled to the attention of others. You are not entitled to having value attached to your complaints. You are not entitled to this explanation."

I think most people use other people as a kind of mirror, to try to see who they are and how they fit. (Autists may do it less than others, or even none at all.)

If everybody thinks well of me, then I should probably think well of myself. If everyone thinks badly of me, then I'm probably not worth very much. So goes the logic.

So social media is tearing up peoples' self image, not just because of put-downs and deliberate trolling, but mostly because everyone is putting forward the best version of themself that they can, and we compare that, not to the version of ourselves that we put forward, but to the reality of ourselves, and we lose in comparison.

And that's the problem with self-worth-by-comparison. There's always someone against whom you lose, in some aspects. Richest man in the world? Yeah, but that other guy has a bigger yacht, and we use yachts as measuring sticks.

That's true of all of life, but social media amplifies it. We can see more people faster to compare ourselves to, and they can present a fake image more convincingly.

They have been, for years. Some very prominent voices in the security community have been criticizing the level of engineering prowess in security tools for ages - Travis Ormandy ripped into the AV industry for Project Zero over a decade ago and found critical problems in things like FireEye, too. The problem is that without penalties, the companies just keep repeating the cycle of “trust us” without improving their levels of craft or transparency.
