Since I doubt I'm the only one who didn't know what a "panopticon" is:

A "panopticon" is a concept originally designed as a type of prison by the English philosopher Jeremy Bentham in the late 18th century. It’s a circular building with a central watchtower where a single guard can observe all the inmates in their cells, which are arranged around the perimeter. The twist? The inmates can’t see into the tower, so they never know if they’re being watched. This setup was meant to induce self-discipline—prisoners would behave as if they’re always under surveillance, even if no one’s actually looking.

> What games have you made?

You don't have to be a chef to judge what's coming out of the kitchen.

What is the objective impact of Stadia which at its height had a whopping 307 titles [1]? At the time of writing ProtonDB lists 6806 titles as "platinum, works perfectly out of the box" and 4839 games as "gold, works perfectly after tweaks". Steam Deck alone has almost 5x the number of games with "verified" status [2].

What games are being made for Linux thanks to Stadia, and don't just target DirectX and run through Proton? How many Stadia games were ported to Linux thanks to Stadia?

Also, to put things into perspective. Proton was launched in 2018. Stadia was launched in 2019.

In 2019 there were already over 5000 games that worked on Proton. [3]

In 2022 there already were more games with verified status for Steam Deck than there were games for Stadia, and 8 times more games verified to work by users [4]. Stadia shutdown was announced half a year after the article at [4].

Stadia had zero impact on gaming in general and on gaming on Linux in particular as judged by the results and objective reality. Even the games you showed as examples don't support Linux, only target Windows, and are only playable on Linux through Proton [5]

> I feel qualified in stating that Stadia had an outsized impact on our development process in a way that helped proton succeed.

> That you don’t see it as an end user, is exactly my point.

It's strange to claim things like "when Proton came along" when Proton was there before Stadia and already had over 5k games working in the year when Stadia only just launched.

It's strange to claim outsized impact on development process when there are no outcomes targeting anything even remotely close to Linux development, with studios targeting Windows as they have always done.

It's strange to claim Stadia had outsized impact when none of the work translated into any games outside Stadia. When Stadia did not contribute any significant work to the tech that is running Proton. In 2022 they even started work on their own emulation layer that went nowhere and AFAIK never contributed to anything [6]

It's strange to claim that "it's actually Stadia that made Linux gaming feasible" when there's literally no visible or measurable impact anywhere for any claim you make. Beyond "just trust me".

3. Anyone who disagrees with 1 or 2 for any reason shall be labelled racist, xenophobic, bigoted, and hateful. The financial interests of billionaires must not be harmed by these social pariahs.

4. Anyone who disagrees with 3 shall be accused of defending legitimate racists, bigots, and xenophobes. There must not be any room for civil and respectful discussion rooted in mutual empathy for all human beings, otherwise we risk breaking the must clause from 3.

Native Image does exactly that already, but producing an AOT-compiled-and-linked native executable is not the goal, it's just a means to some goal. The real question is what is it that you want to optimise? Is it startup/warmup time? Is it the size of the binary? Peak performance? Developer productivity? Program functionality? Ops capabilities?

AOT compilation certainly doesn't give you the best outcome for all of these concerns (regardless of the language).

> we can all be like this

Yes. Most definitely. Personal experience has often changed my approach to, or the salience of, or - more rarely, because I genuinely try to be both empathetic and rational - my entire opinion about, oh gosh... An embarrassing (in hindsight) number of things.

This is inevitable, isn't it? Like, we all learn best through experience. No one can perfectly (however empathetic) assimilate another's point of view. And, anyway, exercising empathy is dangerous, because it makes us more vulnerable to manipulation by people who cynically evoke it.

Where I land with this is to self-limit the scope of my own judgment. If I have not experienced something, then as far as possible I defer to those who have. If something matters a lot to someone else, and only a little bit to me, I defer to them. My model of the world will never be perfect, so I'd like to minimize the consequences of my own limitations.

I would at least expect a Cell Broadcast to be deployed (The TelCo Authorities/Providers and Disaster Management Authority has been testing it last year and expected to be deployed in Q2 2025). According to the press conference, the system can be activated, but it wasn't until 2:30 PM that the Disaster Management Authority decided to ask the TelCo to send SMS (not via Cell Broadcast). In my case, it wasn't until 7:40 PM that I received guidance from the authority.

Some people are claiming that they received alerts from other apps that target Thai people, such as gaming app, novel reading app and call screening app. Even the SNS account of online gambling site (illegal in Thailand) managed to provide guidance faster than the government's own response. Red Tapes on triggering the warning means no one was even sure what is going on, and has to resort for self-reporting or SNS.

The main conservative complaint is that without competition for your tax money, public schools are at best a democraticly controlled monopoly with captive consumers. Middle grounds like keeping public schools but let them compete with private ones, using vouchers, for whatever reason reaches this contrived argument of certain interests being scared that a parent may decide another school is a better pick for their child's voucher. If public schools are best parents will be happy to select them, so why not find out?

> and with the intent that they would never know if they were being surveilled or not. [...] there's no chilling effect caused by the selective and unknown application of surveillance; the cameras and computers "watch" every car equally.

I disagree. Nobody expects all camera footage to be reviewed by a person, so you never know if what the camera caught will ever be seen (or used against you). In that sense, it's just like the panopticon. You feel watched so you behave, but whether you are watched or not in that moment is unknown.
The interesting question is authentication/authorization - at the moment, macOS greatly simplifies this as long as both devices belong to the same Apple ID. On the opposite side, Samsung does the same.

How will that work out?
I agree. It seems clever and it requires that two consoles be physically present to swap games between them. That gives Nintendo players an extra way to share their digital games that other platforms don't have.

Good observation from the OP. Living lean opens up the possibility to do more things; but it also requires sacrifices that most aren't able to make, and why it's so difficult to work on the things you want to. Sometimes it's nearly impossible to give up life's commitments, comforts, and responsibilities.

It's no question that some countries benefit immensely from global warming. Russia's gains in particular are incredible: unblocking of their naval fleet, easy transportation (water is vastly superior to land), reconnection of eastern and western Russia, easy access to massive amounts of new resources, increase in stable and dwellable land. It's insane how much they stand to gain.

I meant, well, not 8 bit capable, but you can send the generated text files to them.

On 'gnuplot' for cp/m... doing a simple chart from X and Y values in TSV paired in two colums can be done either from forth or pascal or whatever you have to read two arrays.

I'm not stating a solution to read future PDF files. Forget the future ones; what I mean it's to 'convert' the ones we currently have.

I'm at a Spanish pubnix/tilde, a public unix server. Here I have a script which converts -with the help of a Cron job and sfeed-, RSS feeds into plain text to be readable over gopher. These can be read even from the crustiest DOS machines in Latin America and Windows 95/98/XP machines. I even pointed a working Retrozilla release, and it's spreading out quickly.

They are at least able to read news too with a gopher/gemini client and News Waffle, with a client written in TCL/TK saving tons of bandwidth. The port with IronTCL will work in the spot on XP machines. Download, decompress, run 'launch.bat' (lanzar.bar in Spanish).
The ZIP file weights 15MB. No SSE2 it's required. Neither tons of RAM.

Compare that to a Chrome install. And Chrome requeriments.

The 2nd/3rd world might not be under an apocalipse, but they don't have the reliability of the first world. And lots of folks adored the News Waffle service saving a 95% of the bandwidth.

Instead of the apocalipse, think about 3rd world guys or the rural America. Somethink like https://lite.cnn.com and https://neuters.de will work even under natural disasters with really reduced bandwidth data. Or https://telae.net for Google Maps searchs.

gopher://magical.fish has news feeds, an English to French/Spanish and so on translator , good links to blogs, games and even TPB search. These can be run on any machine, or Lagrange under Android. And, yes, it might work better under a potential earthquake/flood than

Well, assuming that by "statically linking" you mean in the c sense, that's exactly what GraalVM native image does today, it statically analyzes the JAR for reachability only compiling the methods/classes in use. This works but it's also what makes native-image difficult to use and brittle.

It's hard, and some might argue impossible, to statically analyze reachability in a dynamic language like java that allows for runtime class loading and redefinition. As it turns out, Java is much closer to javascript than C++ in terms of dynamic runtime behavior.

Nope. They use cameras to analyze cyclists who race to make sure their form is on top. You have a cycling gait the same as your walking gait - the way you sit in the saddle, pedal, hang on to the handlebars, sit, etc.

Now do space opera!

The Expanse is probably the most realistic of fast-paced battles in the stars space opera, and I've seen analyses that show that the Epstein drive is at the edge of what physics would possibly allow. But those UN, MCRN, and Belter ships would need something you don't see at least in the series (or described in the books): heat sinks. They'd have to have radiators or they'd melt. Even if the drive was insanely efficient (like >90%) it would still generate hundreds of megawatts of heat at those power outputs. I suppose you could cool with propellant, but that would greatly reduce your specific impulse. To jet around the solar system like that would require very high specific impulse, meaning tiny amounts of propellant emitted at relativistic velocities.

Speaking of propellant velocity: those Expanse fusion rockets would not look like blowtorches. They'd look a bit more like the "laser beams" depicted here -- rocket plumes that look like straight lines because they're made of particles accelerated to like 3-5% 'c': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8vh2ER3ao4

Edit: ... and one more big inaccuracy: a torch rocket is also a death ray that would be horrifically effective even at very long range. The scenes where "they're trying to burn us up with their drive plume" would have to take place at much longer range or they'd just be dead. If you were near a ship all you'd have to do is flip around to hose your enemy down with X-rays and superheated plasma. You'd also never fire up one of those things anywhere remotely near a space station like Tycho unless you wanted to at least give everyone on board cancer. You'd have to use conventional rockets to get well clear before turning on the fusion drive.

No space opera I've seen gets this right. Any sufficiently powerful space drive (fusion/antimatter torch, let alone warp drives) is a weapon of mass destruction. Does Star Trek ever even examine what happens if you point the Enterprise at a planet and say "warp 9, engage!"? In The Expanse if the belters wanted to stick to Earth and Mars they could do simpler things than throwing stealth rocks if you really think about it. Those drives would be insanely deadly in many different ways.

It's one of the reasons I think war in space is gonna be rare. If it happens it's basically mutually assured destruction (MAD) given the power involved. Even a chemical rocket can generate velocities that make an impact have a yield comparable to a small nuclear device.

For All Mankind is almost space opera and is probably the most realistic.
> recursive == DFS

The intuition there is that people tend to write algorithms recursively when they easily map to interactions with the top of the stack, since that's easier to express in most languages than bringing in an external stack to think about. Hence, if you see something recursive in the wild it likely looks more like DFS than BFS. As you point out, that isn't a hard rule.
By your argument, my GI Joe and Lone Ranger toys were patronising toys that prevented me from getting into the military or horsemanship purely on merit.

Proactively courting interest in children is completely orthogonal to "getting into" anything by merit. Millions of boys that didn't grow up to meet the requirements of military pilot positions, still yearned to be astronauts. Including, probably, 100% of those that did qualify.

Encouraging children to aspire to greatness in their adult life is not patronizing in any way.

This is also true of "less" and "fewer". I use "less" everywhere.
That seems intuitive to me, but I guess it depends how you picture it.

I think of a pyramid from the ground up, so a dense base followed by a thinner top.

A inverted pyramid would be thin first then dense and large.

When reading though, you go from top to bottom, so if you're more visual instead of time based, you may see it the other way around.
The corollary to that is to make sure that not everything that looks like DEI is actually DEI, or has a good reason for it. For example, applications for telescope time had an acceptance rate skewed towards application proposals from specific demographics. When they changed it to redact the person's name prior to being evaluated for merit, the distribution followed a more normal curve. Is this DEI, or is it taking action so that the most scientifically beneficial proposals get pushed through?
“True crime” is just fashionable slang for “pulp fiction” and “tabloid journalism”, so there's nothing new here.
