I think this is common in scientists and researchers. They operate at the edge of knowledge with one foot in the unverifiable and their eyes peering further still into the murky unknown. There is no map nor direction where they’re going, and that extension out into the darkness is often much like superstitious belief.

What makes them different from followers of the occult that remain lost in the fog is that science returns from explorations with verifiable proof. Research extends it’s own foundations with new findings in order to venture yet another step further outwards.

How does playing the game bring revenue? Ads?

Also, I would think that the business would be in a tougher situation if game popularity increased while tech workers weren’t around to maintain it

In the US? IMO only possible in exclusive environments similar to saunas at spas or membership-based clubs/gyms

Call their bluff!

If they’re SO concerned and want help signing bans for imaginary problems into law, there are plenty of real issues worth trading for in exchange.

E.g. from now on, schools nationwide are additionally funded to both prohibit litterboxes for students that identify as cats and provide free and healthy school lunches.

Idgi – is it saying that every game is either named “X” or “Y’s X”?

Seems it depends on which elite/establishment, going by Wikipedia’s definition: “populism” is the political stance of “the people” against “the elite/establishment”

So by that defn, both of these examples qualify:

• The people being distrustful of the establishment of medical science
• The people condemning the unfair practices of a monopolistic/oligopolistic establishment

I’ve heard of publishing software to design photo albums/scrapbooks/cards etc. Is there a photo collection manager for archiving, sorting and filtering?

Given access to a large set of personal photos, say tens of thousands, it should be able to group, categorize, tag, and sort along a myriad of dimensions.

Example dimensions would be time, people and places. It would need some facial recognition/image classifier/similarity scoring capability.

There definitely are some cloud offerings today that do similar things, but I’d want it to work locally for privacy and practical reasons.

Yes, and that’s the point – to accomplish the task using only what would otherwise be insufficient memory

What are the numbers for?

speed up certain types of applications as long as application providers don’t have to pay for special treatment

Maybe they mean by doing things like giving slight priority to real-time application traffic like VOIP over streaming over websites vs file transfers, like how home routers can?

Don’t think that should be something to charge people more for, though. They’re not even able to deliver on their own advertised speeds.

If talking about a closed source app, their whole goal is to move off of hosting closed source systems.

Article says the decision follows a successful pilot project, so they’re willing to absorb the short term costs. Optimistically in the long run, the symbiotic benefits of having a government entity using and supporting a full FOSS system will be huge.

Oh, interesting

Hell of a frame budget to work by, but I don’t know much about game programming

You can, once you find a game that runs at 1k fps

Pretty spiteful of you

In the long run, nearly the same effect as 100% inheritance tax anyways

Not surprising that PDF comments were being used as a task list/tracker. In the same manner, Google Docs supports “@-mentions”, “assign to”, and “resolved” functionality for comments.

All you can do is send feedback to Adobe somehow and hope they add that feature back in. In the meantime, best to find an alternative workflow.

I’ve created a Google spreadsheet to accomplish this sort of thing: Split Payment Calculator

It’s got formatting and locked areas to help layman usage, but it’s ofc still a spreadsheet UI and not a dedicated app. A bit of math proficiency and spreadsheet formula knowledge helps.

Could be replicated on other spreadsheet software like Excel or Calc, although Sheets solves a lot of problems at once, like accessibility, sync, versioning, sharing, etc
