> What if your game needs to talk to a server and do some string manipulation in between requests?

What conceivable reason would there be to ever need to do that? If the server takes commands in upper case, then have them in upper case from the start. If the server takes commands in lower case, have them in lower case from the start. If the server specifies that you need to invert the case of its response to use in the next request, find a server developed by someone not crazy.
I agree that Amazon is basically “cheating”, as we don’t know how many people are actually willing to sign up just for the video stuff. So while they do have that many possible viewers, it’s not exactly a fair comparison.

If we ignore them, most things are sort of what I thought. Netflix is far away number one, and Is expect Hulu is roughly number two. It’s not but it’s close. And tied with Disney? I think that makes sense, and given that they’re sort of merging and usually bundled I can totally understand that.

The fact that Max is the REAL number two is a surprise to me. I would not have placed them above Hulu. It’s not by huge margin, but it’s enough to be real.

I’m honestly surprised to see that Paramount is as high as it is and that Apple TV is so close to Hulu, Disney, Paramount, and HBO. While I really love Apple‘s service I thought it would’ve been quite a bit lower.

But WOW. Poor Peacock. I didn’t think it was doing well by any stretch but I wouldn’t have guessed it was so incredibly low. 1/8I didn’t think it was doing well by any stretch but I wouldn’t have guessed it was so incredibly low. 1/8 of what Apple has?

I suppose I would’ve lumped “others” higher as well, as I’ve heard that the free services that use ads are incredibly popular.

I agree this isn’t a perfect source of data but it’s still kind of interesting.
I'm not sure there'd be much benefit to using shielding with WebSockets, since the traffic wouldn't be cached/collapsed. You can still shield HTTP traffic on the same domain being used for WebSockets.

WAF could be nice though.
I guess this doesn't solve the bootstrapping issue.
The ABC News website (the Australian one) has been doing A/B testing on headlines for years. It's super common to see two or three different versions of the headline in the first hour or so after an article's publication, and then settle onto the presumably best click thru one. It used to show up pretty obviously when the url didn't match the headline, but I'm not sure if that's still true after their recent (awful) website redesign.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not really sure the physics community being demoralized by this prize award is a really negative thing. I think many aspects of HEP and other areas have stagnated, requiring exponentially more money for marginal gains (I don't have a problem with LIGO or other large projects, but "we found another high energy particle consistent with the standard models" not so much). Perhaps this prize will give the community a shot in the arm to move away from "safe but boring".
Deamonizing means double forking processes to break away from the terminal executing it.

This sort of behavior makes writing proper systemd unit files and containers a pain. It is a lot nicer to keep them 'attached' so that you can do things like capture stdout for logging and all that fun stuff.

That is what they are talking about when "daemonizing is considered undesirable".
My hunch is that taxes are the most efficient 'charity', even with the bloat, and everyone's too busy sniffing farts in their corner to see it.

About the wizard, it would help if you just had a "Subtitles" checkbox somewhere which then adds a blank <track> line to the script.

As for the synthax question, my point is that your script looks like this

<video
slot="media"
src="https://stream.mux.com/fXNzVtmtWuyz00xnSrJg4OJH6PyNo6D02UzmgeKGkP5YQ/low.mp4"
playsinline
crossorigin
></video>

And media chorme looks like this

<video slot="media" src="./video.mp4" crossOrigin playsInline>

<track label="English" kind="captions" srcLang="en" src="./captions.vtt"></track>

<track label="thumbnails" default kind="metadata" src="./thumbnails.vtt"></track>

</video>

And I just don't know how to interpolate the two

(Edit, checking further, I did manage to mix the two, and I can play subtitles over your demo video, but not over mine so I guess a foolproof sample in the wizard is probably needed :D )
The site could be 5 simple handwritten HTML files, one with a sprinkling of JS inline in it, plus 2 small Perl CGI scripts. And it would work perfectly for 25 years and counting.

Or it could be something in between, because it’s convenient to do so.

In my case, I couldn’t care less of resumes and offers, but still I want something more ergonomic than spitting out htmls from templates in js/python. So my sites are a mix of typescript, mithril, express and a few utility libs. Idk and don’t care how many packages it is, as long as my main imports are mature and don’t give birth to a new feature-vulnerability every few minutes.

You never mentioned your stack, but it’s a safe guess that it’s react and its ecosystem of always-improving-never-done bullshit. My completely unsolicited advice here is to avoid believing in false dichotomies. 1) There’s a big space between raw html and the worst possible mud. 2) This situation with react “world” is specific to react and isn’t indicative of anything outside of itself.

I don't know. Is it? This is a legit question, even though the tone might come across as sarcastic. But what exactly is the concern?

I guess I don't buy the "outdated operating system will be hijacked" argument, for not having received its security updates and simply being plugged in.

Let's say you have a decent NAT router that doesn't allow inbound traffic. And let's say that you run a reasonably secure web browser and that's pretty much the sum total of your internet traffic. And let's say you're smart and don't download shareware, screensavers, and the like, only trusted applications from reputable vendors. And let's also suggest that you're not using things like Outlook or other vectors for undesirable inbound junk.

What exactly is the threat model here? An operating system isn't going to get hacked over thin air. I don't see the concern, particularly if you are a savvy computer user. I wouldn't want to run grandma on this setup, but still, I feel reasonably safe with this model.

It's the same reason why I don't advocate or believe in running antivirus software. It's just bloatware and introduces an array of vulnerabilities to my computer (c.f. CrowdStrike or any AV vendor hacks).

You've misidentified the trade-off - it's not a choice between swappable batteries or waterproof devices - obviously either swappable or non-swappable devices can be designed to be waterproof.

The trade-off is usually size and complexity. You need more space for the seals (gaskets, O-rings etc.), and then latching mechanisms to hold covers on while applying the correct amount of pressure (and uniform pressure) on the gaskets.

That's not an especially hard an engineering problem, it just necessarily takes up more space so you end up with a bulkier device, which people tend not to like as much unless they really value being able to swap the battery.
Is this the first time that the Physics Nobel Prize isn't awarded to physicists?
It's the stereotypical computer scientist who thinks they know something others don't and don't feel the need to prove their claim. Specifically when it disagrees with experts. And unsurprisingly it's been something others have already investigated and even written about. Definitely not all CS people, but it is a stereotype many other fields believe.

It's not real money. They aren't holding all the gold like a dragon. Or maybe they are, but that isn't hurting anyone, it's wealth not consumption. They consume the same number of calories as a poor person. They breathe the same amount of air. Maybe they have a few extra bedrooms, but their consumption could easily be less than a millionaire.
The Tandy or trs80 line is even better. They were designed to be resilient and easy to repair and ample service documentation is available and sold to the consumer, meaning you can get repair docs even today in physical form if that floats your boat. Almost all the parts were off the shelf components.
"The vast majority of the population does not read or write any English in their day to day lives."
This is doubtful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_num...
While English speakers are not a majority, it is the most popular language.
And one should also note that given English is the lingua franca of programming, I'd suspect that English as a second language is actually a majority for programmers.
So any code that deals solely with programmers as users can easily just use standard ASCII as default, and never see any problems.

Giving government money doesn’t really change the way government operates. The government has the budget for the year and that’s the spending for the year. If government needs something done, an item gets budgeted, money is borrowed, and paid out to get stuff done. Giving money to the government only offsets the debt; nothing else changes from that besides the number in the spreadsheet.

There are Haredi Religious Zionists, the Hardal - in particular the followers of Rabbi Zvi Thau, his students at the Har Hamor Yeshiva he founded in Jerusalem, and the Noam political party for which he serves as spiritual leader.

But although the term “Hardal” has only been heard in recent decades, there has always been a “very frum” subset of Religious Zionism. There is a direct line going from Rabbi Zvi Thau, to the Mercaz HaRav Yeshiva in Jerusalem where Thau held a leadership position for decades before splitting off to found his own yeshiva, to Thau’s mentor Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook, and in turn to his mentor’s father and the founder of Mercaz HaRaz, Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, first Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Mandatory Palestine.

Among the strictly Orthodox (“Haredi”), although Satmar-style hardline anti-Zionism and “non-Zionism” (which can be interpreted as “soft anti-Zionism”) have traditionally been the clear majority, there has always been a Religious Zionist minority, going back to the early 20th century. Religious Zionism has always contained a spectrum of observance from Haredi-style strictness through to “dati lite” laxity. So some of the people you are talking about were arguably “proto-Hardal” or “Hardal avant la lettre”

Complicating the matter is there has definitely been some movement in recent decades from the “non-Zionist”/“soft anti-Zionist” camp to Religious Zionism. A good example is the Sephardic Haredi party Shas, who used to identify as “non-Zionist” but in 2010 decided to join the World Zionist Organisation. Or similarly, Chabad is still technically “non-Zionist”, but with every passing year their “non-Zionism” appears ever harder to distinguish from actual Zionism. (But, keeping in mind that the Chabad of shluchim in Chabad houses is rather different from the Chabad of Crown Heights and Kfar Chabad, I’m not sure if that generalisation is equally true of both.)

Conversely, however, United Torah Judaism and Agudath Israel haven’t really changed their position - they still reject both secular Zionism and religious Zionism in principle, but are willing to engage in certain forms of cooperation with the State of Israel in practice. Rather than moving like Shas and Chabad have, they are staying where they are. In fact, I think the recent ratcheting up of the long-standing controversy in Israel over Haredi conscription is encouraging them to dig-in to their current position. (Although interestingly even Shas, despite embracing Religious Zionism on paper, is still opposing conscription for its followers, and urging them to engage in civil disobedience against it.)

I know this will get downvoted. I fully agree that if you want to make a game-engine then make one. It's fun! On the other hand, if you want to make a game, use an existing engine.

Analogies: I want to write a novel so I'll first build a typewriter. I want to film a movie so I'll first build a camera and digital editing software. I want to cook food so I'll first build a stove, pots, pans, and knives.

In all those other examples it hopefully clear, you just buy the tools you need and then make the thing the tools allow you to make. At this point, the same is true in games.

If you like making a game engine than make one. Just like if you like making knives or cameras then make them. But, making a knife is not cooking, making a camera is not making a movie, and making a game-engine is not making a game.

I also want to add, making a game-engine is easy compared to making a game. Why? Because all the things to you need are well known. You need a 2d renderer (UI), a 3d renderer (assuming you need 3d), image loaders, model loaders, sound players, music players, keyboard input, joypad input, entity systems. Etc. You build them and it seems like you're making progress and if your goal is to make a game-engine, then you are making progress. But, if your goal is to make game, you're mostly likely fooling yourself that you're making progress. Again, back to the analogies, if you're making a knife, you aren't making progress on cooking, your making progress on making a knife. If your making a camera, you aren't making progress on making a movie, you're making progress on making a camera.

What makes making a game harder than a game-engine is the list things to do for a game is unknown.

Why are you talking about “going in cold”? Who said anything about going in cold with no information? It is you who’s misunderstanding.

I don’t know why you decided to challenge my story, my experience, and every single point here to death. My first reply to you was mostly agreeing with your original take on Gaussians as I prefer them too, based on how good they are at getting rid of aliasing. But I wanted to give that a little industry color and history that isn’t visible to outsiders. Gaussians are visibly softer than other filters, the antialiasing properties come at the expense of sharpness, the softness is visible on film, and while the majority of the time any given random person might be best off with a Gaussian if they haven’t studied pixel filters, professionals sometimes prefer slightly sharper filters even if they might trade it for slight amounts of ringing or aliasing.
Agreed, they should have just set $7 billion on fire in the middle of the street. This is an inconsequential amount to the US gov, but a tremendous amount to schools, communities hit by devastation or other terrible events, non-profit hospitals, etc.

I don't understand why the problem existing elsewhere in Europe (which I did not mention) is relevant. Europe is made up of countries vastly differing in almost every regard, including for example the Balkans. I would have been far less surprised if I had moved to Hungary instead of a major US city. Is it somehow more appropriate to compare the US to Hungary instead of Germany? If so, then that is very surprising to me, too.

I dont know about others. This is very beautifully put. But I am wondering if anyone has an counter argument. Because this basically means money > power;

> "As gravity pulls politics into their orbit."

It may be true in US or other democratic nations. It certainly isn't true in Russia or China. If what was described was fundamental laws of capitalism, Could we argue those nations where power is greater than money are not capitalism?

If so, what is the opposing force against the laws of capitalism? And are there anything in physics such as opposing force of the laws of gravity? Without going into Space Time?
