No, there is a third, that oh so great government that everyone seems so keen to give more power and money too. This is exactly where they are suppose to do their job yet they're so woefully bad at it. If they can't even get this

Inflation and tax increases. If you really think that this stimulus will not be used as an inexcuse to raise taxes/levies whatever upon the all of us you've been living under a rock. Whether or not countries have been carrying deb

Many countries already had income support for the unemployment without the need for additional cheques. In Australia the government handed out $600 to individuals who were on income support, and I can guarantee some of those recipients went

Way too early to say whether or not we've got our way out of covid with Keynesian inspired stimulus packages, and some point we'll all have to pay for those packages whether through taxes or inflation and we'll have to see wh

There was MP, players selected classes like armour, infantry, support, air and then battled over a map in a team. The environment destruction was amazing for the time, you could call in carpet bombing, napalm and even tactical nukes and it

One RTS that i actually really like, to the point i actually made a couple of maps for was World In Conflict. It somewhat surprises me that it died off so much with no sequel or replication of the format, I thought it was a decent team RTS

Most certainly, well most of the time anyway unless it was particularly botched. I'm actually not meaning to claim that this particular incident is political at all.

There are many strategies that don't necessarily involve large human collateral damage but are still politically motivated. The Provisonsal IRA in N. Ireland during the Troubles was often times either targeting security forces, collabo

Yes of course we do, poverty has been consistently driven down over the last 100 years. It's driven down by increase economic activity, would imagine that's pretty obvious by now.

The various node steps are pretty well defined along with the players. * For CPU design it's AMD, Intel and ARM players (Apple, Samsung etc) * For discrete GPU it's really AMD and Nvidia, Intel may be moving into discrete but have

I thought we were talking about hardware.

I've mentioned this a few times but it does seem to be completely glossed over. Intel has for the most part been stuck on 6 year old 14nm and it's positively ancient compared to TSMC 5nm upon which the M1 is manufactured, it'

I hope we look back critically at mainstream media role in all aspects of covid analyse and reactions. Commercial news media is so far from critical analysis that it's dangerous that we allow it anywhere near our decision making proces

So there is some sort of scale of victimhood, and everyone should measured against it? Are men victims of their own biology? How come they're the ones that predominately, are they inherently evil and exploitive, is that what we should

Sure, you can create a closed vertically integrated system which will allow you the freedom to do what you want, but you've not created a platform for others to integrate with when you do. The point is those industry standards make the

The PC platform has plenty of freedom for innovation, it's actually quite open, you can create what ever peripheral, addon, whatever you want on top of it. The problem is that if you want mass adoption of your fancy new bespoke offer i

I'm glad someone finally started comparing state of the art vs state of art. Most comparisons have been M1 vs the frankly dated Intel offerings with the previous Mac product line. So things to remember would be that power/performa

lol, the timing of this is impeccable. I was literally just playing through Cyberpunk 2077 and thinking about procedurally generated cities.

Passive aggression much. Sigh, why would you think that a corporation that has shareholders, and no that's not inherently evil, should be charitable in any way it's not their money to just give as they please. This is all perfectl

A massive contributor to that would also be a lot of prefabrication. Which also fits well, if you can some how have much of construction standardised and ready to go. The brick was that what at a very granular level. I think this can still

Don't worry golang will have it's day of horror story code bases where developers made all sorts of wacky decisions around pointer passing and badly specified interfaces within a code bases 100kloc too large.

I've been doing this for long enough to know that if you think static typing will save us from the complexity of large organically grown code bases you'll be sorely mistaken. The code and system design will reflect you culture per

And here is the disconnect. While your claim is pedantically correct the reality is that most practical programming activites are engineering not mathematically science. Like the architect, steel worker, joiner, bricklayer and so on we use

I think more to the point is there anything particularly novel about other than the fact it's written in Rust?

I've come up with what I think is reasonably relateble analogy. If I want to build a 1000 brick wall and it takes a bricklayer 1 sec to lay a brick will getting 1000 brick layers allow me to build the wall in 1 sec? If you analyse this

Market reach, the new consoles have just released and are very hard to get. Big AAA need plenty of market reach to be profitable unless they have some exclusivity deal.

I'm not disagreeing on the spirit of your statement but I wonder if labour costs are really the prime driver of profitability with high tech manufacturing. It may be, but I'd love to see some of the figures, there could be other f

Well most developed nations have dropped below replacement rate on new births with population growth only sustained by immigration. We'll likely soon seen what the "less is more" looks like for new people, I'm not optimi
