Disclaimer: I haven't really played games with high-end graphics on a high-end system in over a decade, and have always had more of a soft spot for games that use beautiful art design to work around the limitations of "underpowered" systems (IMO the graphics in those games hold up much better throughout the decades anyway). And as I mentioned elsewhere I'm generally quite lost when it comes to AA names and abbreviations. It would be disingenuous of me to tell a community I'm not part of what the best solution is for them.

However, on a meta-level I find something like “r/FuckTAA” fundamentally entitled and ungrateful to the people who put years of their lives into making these games. Of course the loudest gamers tend to be smaller subgroup of the entitled toxic ones, so perception is distorted anyway. Plus, I do get it to some degree: if you invest a lot of money and time into powerful hardware to get beautiful graphics, you'd like to actually get beautiful graphics out of it.

Still, every time I read any article on the technical workings of modern graphics, it strikes me as a community full of extremely passionate people who care about squeezing beautiful graphics out of the available hardware. There are nicer ways to say "sorry but this particular technical solution/aesthetic trend doesn't vibe with me".

(Obviously this is not aimed at your nuanced take with a sincere question for discussion. And thank you for the link, will watch, because the tech still is an interesting topic to me even if I don't play these types of games)
If it comes to a war I'm going to be on the front lines anyway, because I happen to live in a country next to Russia. Capturing a cargo ship guilty of sabotage wouldn't make much of a difference in whether a war comes or not.
Nobody teaches people to use them. There is no analog to "catch most specific exceptions" culture in other languages.
At a project I worked at we were considering using protobuf for IPC between our desktop app and our network framework code which used different languages.

The performance was part of the reason (compared to serializing using JSON) but the main reason was just tooling support for automatic type checking. gRPC can generate types from a schema for all popular languages out there.

We ended up taking another route but I feel it is important to consider the existing tools ahead of any performance concerns for most cases
Sadly as a German I must agree. AfD (financed by Russia) and BSW (probably also financed by Russia, or simply hopelessly naive) will fall over themselves making those excuses. Poor Putin, if only someone _talked_ to him ... while Russia is sabotaging of critical infrastructure like train service, hospitals, Internet, politics, and probably more. Russia is like this annoying bench neighbor, who under the table pokes you in the side during class, until they get shoved hard and then act all hurt. Kinda makes AfD and BSW traitors of their own country.

I for one am in favor of giving Wagenknecht a list of must haves for a ceasefire and peace treaty, which obviously will contain giving back all territory to Ukraine, costly reparation for many years to come, and denazification in Russia. With that list we send her to Russia to negotiate. She is only allowed to return, when the points on that list are achieved. She will be the negotiator, the change she will be the change she wants to see. (If it is not obvious to someone, this is rather a joke, since she cannot be trusted to have meaningful negotiations with her idol.)

Shipping costs have become a critical factor in online shopping decisions, and they significantly influence whether a customer completes their purchase or abandons their cart.

Not only that, but underground infrastructure and surrounding buildings put a high constraint on pavement design by putting a hard limit the total thickness of the pavement: can't build too deep or you'll disrupt other infrastructure, can't build too high or the road will be higher than surrounding building entrances or sidewalks.

Interstate construction don't have such limits are typically half a meter or more, not counting foundation earthworks, which can easily double that figure. In cities where telecom networks are 60cm deep and gas and electric networks 80cm deep, you just don't have the luxury of designing a meter-thick pavement that will have a decent IRI for decades to come.
Oh really
Hope it's not too much of a hassle.

Also, forgot to mention that I really enjoyed the article, and I'm not even a gamer! You're totally right in that the graphics community is a lovely one to follow on a technical level, even if you don't play games. Articles like yours are part of the reason for that

So it's a kind of electron apps, packaged for Arm Mac only? Hate to be that guy but that's the least cross platform thing I could imagine. I mean Windows Forms apps and VB6 apps are more cross platform than that (at least supporting one OS but a couple of architectures).

Having someone who goes through a list and cross-references the price of every screw and soap dispenser against the market rate to ensure they're not being scammed incurs a huge cost. Especially since the US government is buying billions of various supplies every year.

A better solution than hiring people to watch for literal scams is to simply not scam people and hold them liable when they're found to have done so.

Your logic is the same as thieves who say, "It's not my fault that I stole their wallet. They should've put it in a slash-proof backpack and locked it with a combination lock that isn't easily picked." Sure, some degree of security and caution is good. But not defending criminal behavior is better.

20 years ago, Boeing had a good reputation. Now it's known as a company that'll pick your pockets and kill you. Quite a downfall.
You can train chess moves and design patterns. There's definitely best practice books like The 33 Strategies of War, Greene. The startup world has lots of these as well - how to discover product market fit, how to run teams, when to hire COOs. Not all advice fits all situations, but having various palettes is handy.

> That's not a safety critical component, the soap dispenser breaking isn't going to cause a plane to fall out of the sky

Depends on the failure mode. Assume the screws with which the soap dispenser is installed are spec'd to wrong torque and the installation causes stress fractures as a result that end up propagating through the aircraft...

Yes it sounds far-fetched, but aircrafts have crashed due to microfractures caused by improper torques on other components...
I’m curious what ICE vehicle you drive now that has a 600 mile range?
The very link you posted says you can use the Node runtime, you're not limited to Edge runtime.
"The Inspector General also noted it could not determine if the Air Force paid a fair price on $22 million of spare parts because the service did not keep a database of historical prices, obtain supplier quotes or identify commercially similar parts."

There's no excuse for this. There should be a watchdog group in the federal government, staffed with people who make .01% commission on every dollar of waste they find and eliminate on shit like this.
Pumping up their dividends would be the line item that balloons costs.
Actually I’m on your side there. I have three servers in the garage on a 250mbit private fibre link… that I never use. I want to get my backside in gear and get the ProxMox cluster running a bit of web infrastructure and then forward to it on the Mikrotik that terminates the fibre.

The only reason I recommended DO is it’s just simple and not too expensive. But your point is fair.

Bike lanes are everywhere in most big cities in France too... But they're bad, very bad.

We desperately need this principle of elevated bike lanes that cars should be worried to cross.

I have code an open-source framework to assess the cyclability of territories : https://villes.plus

It only takes into account quality bike lanes, based on OSM data, run every trimestre.

For instance, painted bike lanes or shared bus lanes are excluded.

Amsterdam's score is around 90 %.

The best French city, Strasbourg, has around 45 %. There is some inherent variability as each run takes random points among a data set to build the segments to be tested.
There's pretty much no reason to use Vercel's image optimization, just spend 30 minutes setting up Cloudflare Images and call it a day
And that's obviously bad because incels are not real people with feelings.
> If your soap dispenser breaks, yeah that sucks and it's maybe a little gross, but you can just replace it with you land. I struggle to imagine what rule about soap dispensers was written in blood.

The very second you start making an exception because "a soap dispenser is trivial", other stuff will get labeled as exempt (or treated as such), eventually there will be no one knowing what is exempt and what is not, and someone will treat something as exempt that clearly shouldn't have been exempt, causing an incident.

In aircraft and spacecraft design and manufacture, the rule is "safety by design". Treating everything as "needs to be certified by default" is fail-safe, it eliminates entire classes of incident causes.

Mmmm, this ignores the cause of Boeing's recent failings.

If a piece of military hardware or software fails, one or two or a dozen people die... if they can't eject.

If a piece of civilian hardware or software fails, hundreds of people die. Witness the 737 Max.

The breakdown of the barrier between the military and commercial sides of Boeing has resulted in a catastrophic reduction in quality on the civilian side. So overcharging for soap dispensers on the military side is far more egregious than overcharging for them on the civilian side, because the stakes are actually lower.

- oil companies pollute like crazy, but we pay for cleanup, health issues, and environmental damage. they pocket the profits.

- tons of public research (medicine, tech, etc.) gets privatized. taxpayers fund it, but companies patent the results and rake it in.

- 2008 financial crisis: banks made reckless bets, tanked the economy, got bailed out with public money. profits stayed private.

- gig economy: workers rely on public benefits (like food stamps or medicaid) because wages suck, but the companies make billions.

- resource extraction: companies lease public land super cheap, destroy it, and leave taxpayers to deal with the mess.
Well, I suppose I'm not the assumed target audience. Back when I was younger I had the time to tweak everything on my computer: my Linux distro, my games (dualbooting windows just for that), and looking things up for that reason. I also could play long gaming sessions.

Nowadays I'm a dad with practically no spare time between raising a toddler and work. Suddenly the question of "does the game overstay its welcome?" has become a thing; I almost exclusively play games that can be played in short bursts of time, and that deliver a great experience as a whole that can be completed in a relatively short playtime. I got a Steam Deck a few years ago for the specific purpose of separating my work computer from my gaming platform, and being able to pick up and play a game and pausing it without problems.

Even with the built-in performance overlay of the Steam Deck (which is very nice) it takes time to assess the quality-vs-performance results of every possible combination of settings. Often more than I would spend on playing a game.

I suspect that people like me either already are or soon will be the bigger segment of the (paying) customers though, so that is something to consider for developers.

And some games do give short explanations of what each type of technique does and how they compare, along with statements like "this usually has a small impact on performance" or "this has a large impact on performance" to guide me, which is already a great help.

How can you get past that orbit if there is all this junk destroying your rockets????
Diet and exercise. It always comes back to that, yet people avoid it like the plague.

The modern weight loss program you described is pushed because that's what people want; an extremely low-effort methodology that yields extremely high results.

The idea that their is some silver bullet to weight loss has dominated the US health market for ages now because selling someone a pill that they don't have to do anything but swallow and be cured is really, really easy.

Having gone through my own weight loss journey, I have seen first hand how attractive that is and fell for it myself twice. So have loved ones, one whom is no longer the same person because they got gastric bypass which resulted in a massive change to gut and brain chemistry, something that we seem to be just figuring out is connected. My own journey is not over, but there are no longer any medications or supplements involved, because I can say with authority that none of them work without good nutrition and physical exercise.

As I realized this and just put more work into eating better and doing more activities (I did not join a gym, but started riding my bicycle more, walking neighbor's dogs, and doing body-weight exercises at home, etc, making it more integrated into my day rather than a separate event I could skip), I lost a healthy amount of weight and got stronger.

It took a lot longer, of course, than what the pills promised, but that's the trick of the whole weight loss industry...and make no mistake, it is an industry. Short-term results in exchange for your money. It was never about helping people be healthier and always about myopic profits, therefore we should not be trusting any claims these companies make that their silver bullet is the correct one, finally.

And yet.
If there is to be any continuity to the process of aircraft saftey,that adheres to the pricipals learner from aircraft accident investigation, then there must be a lesson learned from the debaucle of $600 soap dispensers,and a way to do better.I think it quite likely that said dispenser and many other components can be
3D printed in metalurgicaly perfect titainium and then subject to NDT ,while saving weight and money.
One of ? the most important lesson learned in aviation to date, is that weight is the enemy, the other is simplicity, : if its not there, it costs nothing, and cant break.
To sum up, simplicate and add lightness.
Any resistance to that is indicative of other problems.
If X is the paragon example of Musk's brilliant ideas for you, there's little incentive for me to try to convince you otherwise.
