The churn rate in the gaming studios is usually abnormally high. Most key talent often breaks off into their own indie studios, and while budgets wont be spectacular AAA level... the content usually offers better quality fun, and the artists aren't burned out in 6 months.

The film and TV production situation is nothing to aspire toward... especially if you are a contractor. It never lead to more stable work for the crews, and became a feast or famine type seasonal working arrangement for many.

Unions are better than none, as at least your crew actually gets paid by some rat-fink production manager that often disappeared on wrap.

Best of luck, and some of the best talent I've met was shafted by a AAA studio at least once in their career (often for some really bizarre reasons.) =3

Vague question, as privacy means different things to different people, but its very hackable, so as long as you're running Android you should be able to make it work how you want.

By default it uses the Pebble App for sync. You can decide whether that meets your privacy needs or you want a custom app. Someone has probably shared how to do what you want.

We are not losing this battle. We lost this battle. It's over.

We lost it in November. People said what they wanted. They are getting it. If you re-ran the election today, it would have the same result.

If you've got a problem with that, you've got a problem with democracy itself. And so do I. But you won't solve it by "raising hell". Their one and only reply is "We won, you lost, and if you do anything more violent than shake your fist in frustration, we will throw you in jail -- and it will be legal."

If I had a better idea, I'd have done it months ago. You're here hoping to change some minds, and from the comments you've received so far, you've failed. One is telling you that the NSF is communism. Another mocks gender studies. One more cites the independence of Nikola Tesla.

We lost this fight a long time ago. And you might as well "raise hell" because you've got nothing else to do. But you should reconcile yourself to the fact that it's not going to accomplish anything.
That's what the user intends, but there's no way for the authenticator to know whether the QR code it's scanning is actually from a webauth session on the device it's scanned it from, or simply proxied from another device: ultimately the QR code is just a bunch of pixels, and a web page can display arbitrary pixels.

Basically, there would need to be some device-specific private key included in the QR code which the authenticator could check somehow, but that trust needs to be established first somehow

One potential mitigation I could imagine is browsers actively trying to prevent FIDO QR codes from being rendered in web pages, but that's pretty difficult to stop

This is, of course, something that an attentive user can likely detect, as the browser can prevent web pages from mimicking the QR code workflow exactly, but a) webauthn is supposed to prevent this from happening, as the 'line of death' has proven to be a poor barrier, and b) there's no good way for the authenticator scanning the QR code to identify this line of death reliably.

(And, of course, the designers of this interface knew this could be an issue, which is why BLE is involved at all: so that this kind of attack can't just be done entirely remotely. But BLE is a bad way of identifying a particular device compared to, say, plugging in a USB port. Especially also imagine compromised IoT devices...)

I personally know multiple non-US citizens who did their PhD at MIT. Most of them faced the requirement to temporarily move to the US as a major but necessary nuisance. I also know others who explicitly opted to skip their MIT application to enroll instead in an European program, with all the hoop jumping required to apply for visas being a major factor.

This was a decade or so ago. I assure you that right now things are not looking at better.

Also, people like you should really try to touch grass and try to learn how things are back in the real world. For a few decades now the US is far from being the top choice. In fact, the US doesn't even feature in the world's top 20 in quality of life, in spite of everything. What exactly do you think is happening?
> a smarter animal shouldn’t be eaten as opposed to a dumber one

i think there is something to this, it's about being able to relate to the animal more, making it more digusting. At some point also lactobacillaceae are living beings, is it unethical to eat bread then? Plants also have a level of intelligence. To me these living beings are so far removed from us that it's ok to eat them, mammals are much closer to us, we can empathize with them much more than a fish for instance.
This is hugely variable, the "payoff time" is almost entirely driven by local rates for purchasing and selling electricity. And whether you need to pay $20-$50/month no matter how much electricity you consume.

As such, the payback time is almost entirely a decision based on local regulatory policy, unconnected to the actual cost of the systems. The US also uses fragmented regulatory policy to make our residential solar cost many multiples more than other developed countries' costs.

It's hard for me to be exactly confident when comparing my 25-year-old GCSE grade C (or was it D?) in French to the current numerical grading system, but I think it's it's somewhere around the peaks of these graphs: https://ffteducationdatalab.org.uk/2024/04/languages-are-sti...

My grasp of French is so monumentally bad, that last time I tried to say "I can't speak French" in French, the French woman next to me didn't understand because I said it wrong.

My German is coming along OK, but only because I've been living in Berlin since late 2018.

I can identify all mainland countries but have really hard time with the island nations in Oceania and the Caribbean. Would love to have an option to select which specific area I want to practice with.

Also for countries that I can identify with first click, I have to keep clicking until the cycle is complete. It make sense to zoom and ask to identify the countries again, but maybe stop after getting it right continuously ~3 times?
That argument doesn't hold, it's false equivalence. It's much harder to detect the lack of some nutrient in your diet overall vs the consequences of eating a specific meat.
Yes, it's more possible than most people realize. Where I live outside a town of 40,000, everyone could still buy meat and other food locally if they wanted to. Most just don't, and so many of the small farms have disappeared. But enough remain for everyone who's interested, and the farmers I know would like to sell more directly if they had the customers. (One problem is that farmers make terrible marketers and salesmen, generally.)
> "...you can't design a process that only works when competent people participate and incompetent people don't and then blame the incompetent people when it fails."

That reads like something straight out of a Dilbert comic strip. Yes, employers can require that software engineers not be incompetent; that's what they're paying for. If a process reliably reveals their incompetence, that's actually a huge positive because then appropriate corrective measures can be taken.
Well, those are paradoxes of renewables. When the sun shines bright and the wind is blowing strong grid operators has to pay producers to stop producing, unless they can find someone who will take this energy for less money that they would have to pay to the renewables producers to stop windmills (this is that "price below zero").

When the sun is not shining and wind is not blowing and your country invested heavily into renewables (like United Kingdom) then you have basically two options. Build a lot of gas power plants, as only they have sufficiently quick cold start time (about 1h) or buy electricity paying (very high) spot prices.

Building gas power plants sounds good, but it costs money and you need a lot of them, plus, they emit CO2, defeating the whole purpose of this green transformation. So UK went with the second option, that's why they have the greenest energy on the World... and the most expensive one.

As a result, outside areas with predictable weather (that is deserts) it is much better to simply use technology that came into use 70 years ago (indeed in June this year it will be exactly 70 years) with great success: nuclear power plants.

And be done with all the paradoxes.

Yes, a SWE-year is a common unit of cost.

And there are internal calculators that tell you how much CPU, memory, network etc a SWE-year gets you. Same for other internal units, like the cost of a particular DB.

This allows you to make time/resource tradeoffs. Spending half an engineer’s year to save 0.5 SWE-y of CPU is not a great ROI. But if you get 10 SWE out of it, it’s probably a great idea.

I personally have used it to argue that we shouldn’t spend 2 weeks of engineering time to save a TB of DB disk space. The cost of the disk comes to less than a SWE-hour per year!
Yes, you are correct that Java's guarantee is stronger.

> By contrast, in Go, all it takes to cause full-blown undefined behavior, in the same sense as C or C++ or Rust

It's a little more tricky than that. UB in C/C++/Rust is something that the compiler can use to transform the code. This can lead to other issues. Go's compiler will not do those kinds of things. So on one hand, yes, it can lead to arbitrary Bad Things, but on the other hand, it is different.

Am I the only one who finds it weird that people want to migrate their tweets? Is it just sentimental feelings or what is the purpose of that? To me tweets have always just been in-the-moment brain farts. People have tens of thousands of tweets with the vast majority being just completely irrelevant now and really rather uninteresting. This reminds me of people who keep all their school notebooks in shelves from when they were 5 years old, as if you'd ever go back and look at some scribbles from 50 years ago.
To be honest, this is one of the reasons I usually stick with POSIX tools, I’m too old and too lazy to want to learn a whole new set of flags for a whole new set of tools that are very close to but not quite the same as what’s already part of my muscle memory now.

Not taking anything away from the tools that have been written. Just for me, the pain of learning a new tool is greater than the convenience I’d gain from using it.

This is the money shot : "Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts.

The more detainees, the more money they make. It stands to reason that these companies have no incentive to release people quickly. What I had experienced was finally starting to make sense."

You're going to be furious when you look at the terminology and symbolism of the United States:

- it's a "Union," founded by "We the people" rather than being subjects subservient to an ordained ruler

- It has revolutionary ideals at its core

- There are fasces everywhere, an overt symbol of collective effort

- Right out of the gate, the US socialized one of the largest industries: transporting mail across the nation. Founders wrote it into the Constitution to ensure that it was untouchable

- To go along with that, the interstate highway system is a massive, communal project

- The most politically untouchable service, something politicians practically place on an altar, is a massive wealth redistribution scheme: Social Security

Beyond all this I didn't see a single thing on that site that has socialism design influences, which frankly makes it sort of un-American.

People like this aren't actually concerned with the problems they talk about, they just stop thinking it through when it looks like the meta is favorable to their business model. Then they say "the internet is broken, only we can save it". Etc., nothing new or interesting even from a political perspective. For example how Google one day out of the blue decided they need to track mouse movement to prove anyone is human (in this case, likely to feed data to police because that's a globally unique identifier). They just decided that's the only solution to the "Problem" (TM).
companies with unions are a hundred years behind companies that run efficiently and do what they are supposed to instead of acting as a playing piece in the game of politics and union corruption. nobody ever talks about the fact that unions in america are corrupt… unions in germany aren't corrupt and germans can build bridges still. we can barely manage it without hiring foreign firms… stop worshiping unions its part of the problem
I never said that, I meant tech leaders and founders, not the user base…
I would be careful with assuming that.

In some countries/industries you have to be a member of an union by the law. Just by working in industry, union is forced upon you by law, and you have to pay their fees. The only way out, is to form your own union, with all paperwork. It really sucks for self employed folks.

Doubt it. Musk only owns something like ~15% of Tesla, and owns about 50% of spacex. He knows tesla is overvalued immensely and wants to deeply integrate himself with government to make sure spacex becomes the de facto space org. for the United States (possibly).
"One of the more interesting features I hadn’t appreciated before is that when you get close to the Arctic circle, the length of the days is essentially a zigzag, straight up from the winter solstice all the way to the summer solstice and back down again."

I had noticed this too and wondered if it was exactly true, with the "zigzag" being straight lines - I thought there might be a simple proof of this fact based on some trig identities. There's not, because it's not true - the lines aren't exactly straight, even if you ignore solar refraction - but it's a very good approximation.
i guess 'fetch --prune' deletes non-existent remote branches from local, but the not the remote branches that actually exist.

while the above is used to delete remote branch locally which also exists in remote. this is mostly helpful when you are working in a large codebase(maybe a monorepo) which has lot of branches. so doing a `git pull` which fetches all branches is very expensive and time consuming compared to pulling only a single branch.
If I understand it correctly (I had some trouble wrapping my head around the exact attack vector):

The problem here is that browsers allow redirecting users to the installed passkey implementation/"backend" in the same way that camera and dedicated QR scanner apps legitimately use to initiate cross-device authentication via (what used to be called) caBLE, right?

In other words, the attacker primes the user for an upcoming authentication on-device authentication, but in reality initiates an off-device authentication to their own device.

And the fix is presumably to not accept off-device authentication intents over anything that's not a QR scan, or at least filter them out in the browser?

True. For some reason they keep minimising the damage he is doing to both science and democracy.
"E-bikes produce virtually no greenhouse emissions after manufacturing"

Except for the electricity to charge it, which could either come from clean or dirty power. True about the lack of exhaust though.

Then it leads to the question about the efficiency of generation, distribution, and battery charging vs the distribution and burning of gasoline. Also the weight of the bike. Perhaps someone else has already done the math on this.

I've read an article about this in some German weekly paper when I was like 18?

Was hoping for this to come to fruition in a couple of year's time. But patience always wins, right?

I also remember reading about stationary ANC embedded in buildings at that time.

Unfortunately, the only magazine article from that time that I remember and that has become reality, is the one about identifying individuals in "anonymized" location traces, using very few data points.

Guess that's just the way things are...

Not quite, this is what themselves say about the structure:

> A direct-join union means that UVW-CWA does not represent a single workplace, but rather, anyone in the video game industry. This differs from other union models, which organize workers in a single company or even a specific department or office. This means UVW-CWA seeks to make change directly through worker power and public leverage against the companies of our industry without the limitations of traditional labor law and collective bargaining rights.

> Historically, workers in the U.S. and Canada organized their unions this way until their efforts resulted in the codified labor law we know today in the United States. Other countries also utilize direct-join unionism! [...] By being direct-join, UVW-CWA is able to grow more easily, have a wider base of membership, and is not limited to the constraints of the certification process.

https://uvw-cwa.org/faq

So while it's true it doesn't have the typical benefits of another form of union, it doesn't seem useless at all. Biggest benefit is that exploited people get used to organizing together for a common cause, this will have a far wider impact than just in the video game industry.
