I can't imagine playing those in anything other than a big panel (maybe with an NTSC filter), on the couch, dim lights.

Maybe I'm just getting old.

Its so good Meta is sponsoring a bill that removes necessary accountability on their side by pushing responsibility to a third party, while at the same time getting accurate headcounts for the ad platform /s

Allow me to recommend the AMAZING "Tasting History" YT channel, by Max Miller. He does history research into many different periods so he can cook the most authentic dishes, and has done a bunch of episodes on Greek and Roman culture.

> It runs on android phones!

Whats even more interesting IMHO is that according to TFA the most popular platform in terms of usage is Android. This is probably related to the large amount of dedicated Android gaming devices like the Ayn Thor and similar.

> they implemented a feature or fixed a bug for the community!

yeah but, did they really?

All IMHO of course, but:

If they understand what they did, it follows that they understand someone has to approve/disapprove that contribution for it to land in the repo, and therefore, size their contributions accordingly to make reviewers lives easier.

If they do not understand what they did, they should not be attempting to land high-value high-complexity contributions yet; they should start with something smaller precisely so they can learn.

Edit: I realize I probably sound too grumpy about it, its just that they could be doing it in their own project, in their own repo, where they're free to go for anything they are comfortable with.

> Do yourself a favor, crush the pill and put it in food.

PROTIP never ever do this. The cat might just decide food is not worth having and develop liver and stomach issues. Bastards won't tell you anything is wrong, then they'll just crawl into a hole, as usual.

Source: I had the same not-good, very very bad idea and almost killed mine once. Had to go for a feeding tube and all. If you must give you cat medicine in pill form, just use one of those silicone pill "siringes" with flexible tips (and give it some Churu or similar to train it to tolerate medicine better). Washable, no fuss, quick and easy.

Disclaimer: I do not agree this take was made in bad faith. I think that raising a kid comes with its own set of expectations around caring and curating experiences of said kid. Therefore, I do think that offloading that responsibility to the state (and by extension, businesses that offer age-gating tech to that state...) is not the right way to do it. And even in the absence of that, my experience taught me it is entirely possible to grow up with unsupervised internet access and turn out an OK adult. The internet is not only "depraved porn". It is also a lifeline for that weird kid who has been bullied and effectively barred from social experiences.

Of course, YMMV.

That said, if such a nanny state is inevitable: zero-knowledge-proof-based age verification would not only be possible, it would further protect these kids from a bad state actor. In that spirit, I agree with your last point. The fact that any other alternatives are even being considered makes it on principle a non-starter to me, because it betrays the actual goals of the political actors involved.

It IS weird, but it "converts" (ugh...), that's why they coming.

Apart from this, the text details amazing work. Congrats.

Congrats on shipping, will check later.

Edit: the anthropomorphization is so weird ("brain", "soul" etc). If the feedback logs live in "basalganglia", why not call it "feedbacklogs"? Why "hippocampus" instead of "memory"? IMHO it just makes it harder to find things.

This is so incredibly sad.

One of these years, Windows might become production-ready again.

I got a lingerie model, then i got the beatles. It seems random.

For $DEITY sake, this surprised me. Such inadequate performance on a 9800x3d + RX9070XT. How? Don't people test anything anymore?

Damn.

Unless I'm mistaken, they probably don't mean xrandr, which is what you probably use. They meant legacy x multi head setup (same session but independent screens). I know its there, but i never used it.

edit: AND i've been using GNU/Linux and derivatives for the last 20 years.

It also serves as a sort of "chud defense", in a way.

I like it.

I don't mean to be harsh, but if there's a codepath that is exercised on your hardware, but not on mine, I don't think it would be fair for me to deem it as "bloat". There are a TON of supported devices and use cases that are not my own, but are essential to someone else.

Rio is kinda funny as a litmus test - federal government creates laws to try and curb some of the corruption, and Rio produces better and better corrupts - so far Rio is winning.

BTW wasn't it a few months ago the current governor wanted to leave to be able to run as a candidate, so he asked a supreme justice to step in in as governor, since there wasn't anyone else that technically could?

This would be so very brazilian of them.

"Plaster it everywhere! Talk about it all the time. Put it in the product, even where it does not make sense. We are being disruptive, after all... and use ALL the tokens -- that's how they call it, right? -- but not too many please, we're not made of money."

(I guess the whole staff uses it on their job everyday, which can be inferred though the communication style changes in emails and team messages...)

Thankfully the people in charge of strategy are not technical, so if we just wear a fleur de lis we can keep things in working order with minimal interruption.

"why are you such a drag on team morale?", "why are you invalidating your colleagues learning experiences?" "Next time you do this, HR will have to step in" etc etc.

There's no justice in this world.

Caveman consume fewest token win office token war.

In a previous job, we had this saying "killing penguins" we used when referring to throwing more computing resources (more GNU/Linux instances) than necessary at a problem. In today's landscape of indiscriminate AI spending, I bet we could repurpose the term to mean "actually negatively impacting the arctic biodiversity".

We are all throwing penguins at each other.

> Those extra homicides "didn't happen", but the improvement is understood.

People are gonna criticize by saying "see? it was an overreaction to the problem, since there's not been many homicides at all!", when in fact the homicides were prevented by fixing the original problem. Same way with the electrician: "how much are you gonna charge again? And you're charging for a fix to a problem that didn't happen yet? Nah, I'll call you when the problem happens".

Its maddening.

every time.

I'd guess no because in this case the whole system is the duck.

I can relate to that.

I recently had to intervene during the latest office holy war to explain that you don't need JS for file uploads.

It was eye opening.

> Anyone else notice this?

This is most big companies. As they grow in size, staff functions get compartmentalized. As their main product matures, the need to develop new things slows down, and daily life becomes more about knob-turning and optimizing what you have to extract more revenue. This means that, for example, the developers, PMs, designers eventually run out of things to do, so whatever they still got ends up growing in size and eventually taking most of their time, be that mentoring, committee work, random initiatives here and there etc.

Has been discussed here again and again.

Apparently parenting "its too hard", you "dont know how hard it is", and the alternative of "not having kids" is somehow impractical.

You know, I always felt it but struggled to describe. This is exactly how it feels. Commoditization is inevitable, but the loss of identity that comes with leaves the impression that every city is one of those old-west movie prop ghost towns.

I don't really know if this would be the best solution, but we could maybe define a sliding LoC limit per PR? Also a limit on the number of open PRs per contributor. This way those small, reviewable contributions would get a fair shot at being landed instead of being blanket banned, and the maintainer overhead would be more reasonable.
