That's fine. As long as the sensor is available the user can expose it. I think this is a pretty cool idea, and would yield more accurate measurements than estimating based off of latitude and cloud coverage alone. Albeit it'll all but guarantee tan lines.


I think that's exactly what OP was trying to say: Instagram WhatsApp, etc. footers/splash screens will now read "a Meta company."


Input validation is more general and helps mitigate other types of vulnerabilities, such as overflows and other injection attacks.


I'm all for defence in depth, and agreed there are many other types of injection attack this doesn't mitigate.


Why not just split the assets and the code, have the code reference a version of the assets, which are on a separate server and only fetched when needed?


That's basically what git-annex is, but I guarantee that companies with this problem will be doing something disastrously incoherent with file shares and document_final_2 names instead.


I thought Git LFS had largely replaced git-annex these days? (I haven't used either, just going off [1].) Apparently git-annex never really supported Windows, which is a bit of a dealbreaker for gamedev.

Such a separation makes sense to me (a non game dev) but the assets need version control too, though, so that doesn't really solve the problem.


Raw assets do, built versions of assets and binaries don't. Most workflows I've seen cache built data outside of source control. It needs to be in sync with the source but not versioned. Downloading a 10GB+ built map data file over SMB is a sensible option - much faster than via Perforce. I've even seen bittorrent solutions for this before.


That's the same thing as not using version control, given that the point of using UE4 is that you don't have to write much code. Note the repeated references to "blueprint spaghetti". Blueprint is a visual DSL for game designers. The assets end up encoding much of the game logic.


Why not a flat curve + EQ?


Yes, logically that makes sense. I have tried to EQ my old K701s but they can't really match my JVC HA-SZ2000s for pure bass. Years ago, I was seduced by the flat curve thinking it would give me the best sound rendering - the way the mixing engineer intended it. Since then, I have found that I actually enjoy having a colored response, and that there is some value in that as well. Don't get me wrong, I like & use flat sound signature headphones sometimes - for classical and jazz music. But that is not my usual jam.


You cannot be serious about your argument while still being supportive of these changes.


These units seem _incredibly_ low to me. Your skin can generate almost 3000 IU in just 15 minutes on the right day. Many doctors even recommend treatments of 150,000 IU or more, in one go to correct deficiencies (do not do attempt without a doctor's recommendation and supervision).

I do not doubt your experience, but it seems incredible to me that just a 5000 IU supplement gave you heart palpitations. Then again, I've also read many reports about incorrectly labeled products (e.g. milk, supplements, etc.) which contained far more D2 or D3 than what was written on the tin, causing toxicity.


GP may have had a "heart on the edge"; just because your heart is currently beating correctly doesn't mean that it may not be just a wee bit of disruption away from beating incorrectly. Or you could have a lot of safety margin. I don't know whether medical tests could distinguish the two but just in day-to-day life there's very little way for you to tell the difference. (I wish I could; it would help me a lot.)

It is completely possible for "more of a good thing" to have a negative impact on you because it pushes something out of balance beyond what homeostatis can maintain. In principle the best solution is to go get more of what you need to balance it, but that can be easier said than done. Between the things that science still just plain doesn't know and the chaff of all kinds of garbage information about nutrition on the internet it can be very hard to figure out what you need.


I appreciate your respectful skepticism. It is entirely possible that the supplements contained significantly more than on the label. However, I'd like to point out that the generally recommended dose for supplements is only 800IU in adults, with up to 4000IU only in the case of Vitamin D deficiency. The "tolerable upper intake level" is 4000IU [1]. I am unable to track through Wikipedia's sources here at the moment, but that aligns with the parent of my original comment which I believe is in a peer reviewed journal. I would imagine that number was determined due to people like myself not tolerating amounts above 4000IU.

The original RDA of 800 was designed to combat Rickets and has recently been thought to be significantly too low for folks in higher latitudes. Given the high number of variables perhaps simple RDA guidelines are not practical.

I take roughly 5k per day in the winter and it has helped a lot. See my other post for details.


Curious about your source for 3000 in 15 - I have read and reported more, and would like to read your source.


I mean... if you go that route then I would say Kotlin isn't really ready to be used as a production language in most places due to the severe lack of tooling, especially when it comes to things like static analysis. Sure ktlint is there, but the rules library is lacking.

So from that perspective, Kotlin is playing catch-up.


Static analysis is the only weak point of kotlin that I'm aware of.. Intellij Idea has by default something that might be considered as static analysis.

There is also detekt but it's true it is inferior to solution that Java has. https://github.com/detekt/detekt

PMD is targeting kotlin initial support for their next major release https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/419

I've answered a jetbrains survey recently and they revealed they are working on a new product that would be a full fledged static analyser, maybe this would solve the issue?


Discussion was about the design of the language only.


> since otherwise you can tell where a cable is broken or being tampered with by sending light down the cable and seeing how long before light reflects off the broken bit and comes back to the end.

IIRC at BSidesLV last year there was a vendor selling optical splicing modules which were rather difficult to detect using this technique.


There's the theory of Vitamin-D deficiency. It would make some sense given NYC's climate and time of year. In LA, people likely are exposed to the sun year round. It would be interesting to see if other respiratory illnesses exhibit a similar pattern between these two cities, as I understand Vitamin-D levels have an affect those as well.

But also, NYC is considerably more dense, so diseases spread far more rapidly. Especially so considering heavy public transit use versus, what I would say is, extreme overuse of personal vehicles.
