> Want FPS without cheaters? Encourage people to do DIY matchmaking again, DIY server hosting and DIY administration.

Yes. This is the answer. There is no solution that relies only on technology that will fix human problems at scale. You can make it harder, but once one person figures it out, everyone has access to it. You need to break it into pieces and let people deal with it on the community level, where communities are small enough that people can deal with individuals.

The main issue is that 'at scale' you have the fact that a certain percentage of people are sociopaths, a certain percentage of people are really smart, and a certain percentage of people have the time and motivation to do something, and when they all cross you end up with a person who breaks your system.

Side note: If you regularly and promptly clean your wooden utensils, bacteria and germs won't set in. Bacteria only becomes an issue when the wood splinters or is damaged in some way.

Also "capillary action" takes place in wood, meaning water and/or bacteria on the outside of the wooden surface essentially diffuses into the wood, "choking out" the surface bacteria and therefore not providing them with a good environment on which to grow. Additionally, wood has antimicrobial properties.

The 4th amendment is about unreasonable searches and seizures, it is also about "persons, houses, papers, and effects", that is, not files stored in someone else's computer.

The police here considered that a hash match was a reasonable enough condition to conduct a search, and that Google's TOS allowed it. They were wrong, but it is not obvious that they were by just reading the 4th amendment, and the situation is rather new, so it is reasonable to assume that the police acted in good faith.
> because for the most part you don't think while you type.

I think that isn’t true if you’re a good enough typist. Once typing is automated enough, you can (somewhat) multitask.

It is similar to driving a car. If you just learned driving, you can’t do anything else while driving, but if you gain experience, you learn to detect when the road needs you full attention and when it doesn’t, and can talk or think about other things while driving.

I think being able to think of what to write next while typing may be even more important for a fluent conversation than typing faster. It will be difficult to test whether that’s true, though, because automating the act of typing also makes you type faster.

>tying your self-worth to your corporate employment is a really, really bad idea.

We can talk philosophy all day long. I just want to pay rent, respecfully. People telling me to "upskill" seem tonedeaf to this.

And this isn't some thing unique to tech. All jobs dried up. I wouldn't be worried otherwise if I could find ANY work right now.

>But lets also get real - people were laid off from Dropbox with a very generous severance package and they are in a highly paid industry to begin with.

okay. Other companies don't. I got a month of severance and saved up 6 months.

It's been 13 months. What now? I'm not starving but only by dumb luck.

>Any mental health issues folks have after getting laid off is nearly always the result of tying one's self-worth to one's job, and that's the link that should be broken.

No it results from peopel stresse on how to survive. Maybe be real and look outside the FAANG bubble every once in a while. I'm not worried about Dropbox, but everything else in this BS economy that pretends to be soaring.

I don't belive you have any sympathy given this comment. You just want blame anything except the environment and people not magically being prepared for 6, 12, 18+ months of unemployment in what was very recently a "hot market".
That was the worst laptop I've ever had. Not only was it turning the jet engines on when you tried to do something more demanding that moving mouse around, it throttled thermally so much that you literally could not move that mouse around.
What better option? resistance electric is clearly worse in other ways. I've heard induction is good but it is an expensive luxury option and not common even in that niche.

i've heard it is reasonable priced in other countries but not the us.
Four generations into the new platform and there is no answer from anyone else in the industry. Incredible.
The basic C++ you need to know to survive is quite small. Not as small as C, but let's say twice as large.
There are some crazy complex parts in C++ but most people dont see those parts very often.

Rust on the other hand has a pretty huge base part that everyone needs to learn. Because certain normally simple things can get very complex in Rust and you start approaching the dark corners of the language very very quickly.

So yes, I belive Rust is more complicated that C++. And it is still growing

Is it really TRAMP that is slow, or is the SSH connection already slow? I think there can be noticeable delay with TRAMP, but if it is so much, that it is bothering you, then maybe the SSH connection to the server itself is slow? For example, when I connect to a local machine, it is fast for me, so I am guessing most of the delay comes from the connection itself.

It's bad faith unless you really believe that's _plausible_, not some extremely stretched version of _possible_.

> Obviously I don't believe that this scenario will literally happen

So you don't think that's really plausible, and I don't think it was a good faith argument.

I'm going to say it again, because I don't think you got it: The reason for criticizing when people focus on insignificant things is because it's a distraction from focusing on things that could actually make a difference.
They mean that security researchers can look at the code, not the hardware at the transistor level.

But the specific roles being laid off are arbitrary, and the overall goal headcount reduction is driven by macroeconomics factors (I'm being generous there), not based on new efficiencies.

The problem is that even when there are easy, safe alternatives trying to avoid every little risk in your life will drive you crazy.

This is a clear case where a regulator should step in and just ban these black plastic utensils in favor of their safe alternatives.

That is definitely true. I'm from Austria and I try not to jaywalk when there are children around because I have been taught this way (and I see the point).
IF you learn C++ I'd suggest to use it as a nicer C, without any std:: or the million other complications. Write your own List / String classes for fun, they can't be much worse than the std ones.

After I learned about the harmful effects of Teflon, I became much more cautious about consumption. It's nearly impossible to avoid the toxins when eating out because wax has been replaced with synthetics that leach into food from packaging.

Just use metal wood or glass. One thing I'm not aware of is if Pyrex or the other tempered glasses are safe or if they also contain plastic. That would be good to learn.

This says it's an abridged translation. I wonder what the original was called; "Assayer" is an English word, and Galileo would have been writing in Italian or Latin, neither of which I think would pose much difficulty in reading.

Il Saggiatore, apparently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Assayer.

> The Assayer (Italian: Il Saggiatore) is a book by Galileo Galilei, published in Rome in October 1623. It is generally considered to be one of the pioneering works of the scientific method, first broaching the idea that the book of nature is to be read with mathematical tools rather than those of scholastic philosophy, as generally held at the time. Despite the retroactive acclaim given to Galileo's theory of knowledge, the empirical claims he made in the book—that comets are sublunary and their observed properties the product of optical phenomena—were incorrect.[1]

Original text, printed in 01623, in Italian, at https://archive.org/details/ilsaggiatorenelq00gali, at least until the Archive is destroyed. (Pirate your PDFs while they're hot!) There are some other scans, but they are much inferior. The scanner comments, "First issue, second state. Without the poems by Johann Faber and Francesco Stelluti in praise of Galileo." This was scanned just three months ago from the collection of the University of Toronto. It's 250 pages, so this 56-page abridged translation is very abridged indeed.

The first sentence from the abridged translation is found on the 11th page, after the dedication to the new Pope:

> Io non hò mai potuto intendere Illuſtriſſimo Sig. onde ſia nato, che tutto quello; che de’miei ſtudi, per aggradire, ò feruire altrui, m'è convenuto metter’in publico; abbia incontrato in molti una certa animoſità in detrarre, defraudare, e vilipendere quel poco di pregio che,ſe non per l’opera, almeno per l’intenzion mia m’era creduto di meritare.

Italian has evidently changed a lot less than English since 01623, because Google Translate renders this as follows, which seems almost entirely in agreement with Drake's translation:

> I have never been able to understand, Most Illustrious Sir, where it came from, that all that I have had to make public of my studies, to please or hurt others, has encountered in many a certain animosity in detracting, defrauding, and vilifying that little bit of respect that, if not for the work, at least for my intention, I believed I deserved.

Where it differs, I'm a little bit puzzled as to why Drake chose the translation he did—aggradire seems clearly to be "hurt" (the English cognate is "aggress", or current Spanish agredir) rather than "please", as Drake renders it.
But typing without having to think about typing, is.

It's the same as with driving. You can either drive very deliberately and consciously, where your whole focus is the road, or you can 'switch to automatic' where you're actually thinking about something else entirely.

For driving, maybe focus-mode is best. But typing should be automatic.

What comes to mind is how language itself is merely a projection of human knowledge? experience? culture? social group? and trying to reverse engineer any kind of ground truth from language alone (like an LLM trying to “reason” through complex problems it’s not explicitly taught) is like trying to derive truth from the shadows while locked in the cave? maybe we just need more/higher fidelity shadows :)

Ugh you reminded me how much I hate flame retardants and the horrible laws we have in America that have us spray it everywhere.

I was just recently looking at bicycle seats for small kids and the one I found interesting happened to recently have a recall (Thule) as they grossly over applied the flame retardant to a point where it was immediately toxic. I am guessing it was in the foam pieces but such a depressing idea that we need to make outdoor bicycle seats flame retardant.
> So the point of looking "painterly" is that it looks like the art was done manually by a craftsman

I think the core issue is the difference between the digital and the analog as mediums. My understanding is that the computor is not a medium in the real sense. Rather (for the most part) it is a meta-medium: a medium that impersonates other mediums. It impersonates the photographers darkroom, a typewriter, a movie editing station etc.

TFA describes a more effective way to impersonate. It is no more a replacement of a painting than a photograph of my wife is a replacement of my wife.

> But as that gets more common, there will be added value in doing whatever they can't do, because only that will look truly human.

Here I would agree. Standing in front of a real painting is an entirely different experience to looking at a digital emulation of a painting on a screen. My new problem as an art teacher is that I find myself talking to students who claim to have seen the work of (for example) Michelangelo, yet I know they have never visited Italy.
I don’t know. Technically, you can clean-room reverse engineer a GPL binary and your resulting code doesn’t have to be GPL. But you could also just build the open source repo and do that. So I don’t know

- RAM: 32GB is just not enough. I have firefox open with a mere 60-ish tabs and RSS is already at 21GB. I add my IDE and building a c++ app at -j10 and I start getting OOMs left and right, I have to close my browser whenever I build.

- Graphics: the GPU and compute capabilities are definitely not there when comparing to NVidia mid-range offering, it's more akin to a laptop 2060.

- Can only do 3 video outputs at most while there are enough hardware outputs for 5.

The CPU is definitely fast though !

> The model of non-self-interacting gravity is a particle we call a "graviton," and it probably describes reality very well when the gravitation involved is so weak that its self-interaction is undetectable.

I disagree with that part. For the strong force we have the "gluons" and they are considered particles and they have a strong self-interaction. The strong self interaction makes it a huge mess and a lot of things that involve gluons are impossible to calculate.

It's more like:

fake quote> Let's pretend for 30 minutes that the strong field don't self-interact, so we have this nice particles call gluons. Now we add this interaction to the Lagrangian to make gluons interact with other gluons, and now we have a problem.

I agree that that when gravity is small enough, then gravitons give an easy to calculate aproximation. IIRC at high enough energies calculations with gluons get not impossible to calculate too.

Yes. But, it's a game of cat and mouse. Anticheat always is. There's not been a need go to the level of "there are X players who report having a Razer deathadder, which we've validated as having a DPI range of Y-Z. With your OS settings, it's not possible to have achieved that with that mouse therefore we suspect you of cheating". But we're probably there now.

That's just petty and one would think nearby management would have better things to do. Whether or not people "should" a lot of folks have their personal and work stuff pretty intermixed and need time to disentangle and may not even have a personal laptop. I guess there could be an element of not wanting to give ex-employees time to copy off work info but still (and, if they're that worried, they should be able to just do a remote wipe)... I've always tried to make a point of keeping an off-work copy of anything I want to keep and isn't confidential.

The census bureau has looked at this. The Reagan years hit boomers hard causing their percentage of homeownership to drop compared to a similar age cohort historically. Then 2008 wrecked the young boomers and gen x similarly.

In general terms the oldest cohort has steadily advanced in home ownership (I’d guess due to our welfare for the aged that isn’t needs based and better old age health, not land gifts but who knows). So there is definitely a trend of the oldest age cohort increasing its homeownership % while the other cohorts decrease.

But for the under 35 crowd today, they own their own home at a higher percentage than boomers or gen x did when they were in that cohort.

There is also the consideration that the US is just older than it’s ever been. I’m not a demographer do I have no idea how that plays out.
