Splinter Cell would be the obvious mention, although it's far too linear for my tastes.

I think people realized doing stealth for a whole game is too boring, but most action games integrate stealth mechanics now, or throw in a cursory stealth level. Even Halo has stealth, although I doubt anyone ever stopped to notice... it's like putting a karma system in Doom.
>And if you do that you're really writing POX, with any true-REST features being fifth, sixth, and seventh wheels.

Not at all. In REST, the resource represents an object. When you GET the resource, you get a document encoding the state of the object. So, if you POST such a document to the creation resource, you're creating the object.

CREATE would be a better verb, but WebDAV defines CREATE as creating a resource at the specified URI; in an API, when you want to create a new object, you probably need the API to tell you the URI.

Giving a haircut is basically turning a couple of dials and clicking a button.
Is this an american bank thing or I'm missing something? User changeable passwords for banks??

I have accounts in several banks (Europe) and all of them use either a token with pin that generates a one time password or token which you slide your debit card into, enter your pin and generate one time password.

You have to go through the same process for every transaction you make also.
Sorry about the meta-comment, but this is seriously the top story on HN? What is this, Valleywag?
I got scared of Mint moments after signing up. Don't they intentionally avoid mentioning security on their site because most people don't care? And people who do care will never be satisfied with them storing credentials?
Well, players don't build things. It's way more like WoW than second life. The company 'mind ark' or whatever they are calling themselves now, makes things (asteroid, houses etc) and auctions.

Being a 'trader' is an unofficial professeiom. It basically is watching the market and buying low and selling high. This is is essentially what neverdie did wih the asteroid.
Seems like HN is full of "players"
she's pretty distracted with Harry's flaws

She must have had a hell of a time with JK Rowling's version then...
It's more like a contactless gift card: since you can't use your change for purchasing something different, the payment is in the purchase of the gift card.

It's still got the "contactless" part, though.
I sort of like schema validation, but it makes it a pain to add things to your objects later if clients of your API are depending on that (they will break when you add something).
I've had a similar surge in clarity. I spend at least an hour each day writing. But, I recently started an experiment to spend another 15 minutes each day just thinking. I have pen and paper, but the goal isn't to write. It's to think. The pen and paper just capture a few notes. For more details, see http://wayofthescholar.com/trial-2-day-1-reflecting-for-15-m... (I'll have an update coming out tomorrow).

The results have been great so far, and those 15 minutes are becoming the most productive part of my entire day. It seems like this time basically assigns problems to my brain, which it works on unconsciously while I'm walking home from the lab.

Because writing is thinking, writing is great. I wonder, though, are there other ways to think which are just as potent, or even more so?
That's like telling a gambler addict to keep going to the slot machines for the social interactions. Just like slot machines, social media are designed to increase addiction; of which “user engagement” is just a euphemism. https://www.quitfacebook.org.

If facebook, twitter, crypto“currencies” were to suddenly disappear from the face of the Earth, society would be better off significantly.
I think that the Game theory suggests that cops will be less inclined to show up to a call or do anything to fight crime, because it could bring too much legal responsibility.

Eat donuts, ignore the radio and you will be fine.
The drama was surrounding false advertising so to speak. Pipenv promised a lot but did not quite deliver, much like the earlier days of MongoDB. But more importantly, it pretended or at least heavily implied it was an official PSF-affiliated project, when it was not. How that claim was substantiated was also subject to drama.
Try and "step back" and observe the universe observing itself through your mind. Your "you" is local chunk of universe coded with a capacity to consider the smallest and largest scales of itself. Your mind can easily encompass the universe in thought, summing up everything known as easily as you take a breath. It's an incredible ability, cherish it!
I would strongly discourage using make on new projects, make syntax is full of footguns and quirks (not being able to pass multiple args to subcommands is an easy example).

Bash, Python, or even Typescript are much easier, safer, and more widely standardized environments to maintain and grow your scripts once you get past a few lines.

Thank you, I learned 27 different languages since 1979, most are so old that there are no jobs for them anymore. I used to be a master at Visual BASIC until Dotnet came out.

I can learn any language on the market if I wanted to. I am a quick learner as I have the theories of computer science in my head as I learn.
So at what point do you say that is no longer the case?

1. Moderators of groups on social networks have no obligation to let you speak in a space they control. If you want to fully exercise your right to free speech, you must make your own group.

2. Social network companies have no obligation to let you speak in a space they control. If you want to fully exercise your right to free speech, you must build your own social network.

3. Datacenter as a service companies have no obligation to let you speak in a space they control. If you want to fully exercise your right to free speech, you must build your own datacenter.

4. ICANN has no obligation to let you speak in a space they control. If you want to fully exercise your right to free speech, you must make your own internet.

5. Payment processors have no obligation to let you speak in a space they control. If you want to fully exercise your right to free speech, you must make your own financial system.

6. A country no obligation to let you speak in a space it controls. If you want to fully exercise your right to free speech, you must make your own country.

I personally think 1 is obviously fine, it starts getting slightly iffy at 2, quite sketchy and worrying at 3, and 4 is where major alarm bells start ringing. Do you agree that it goes from fine at 1 to a major problem at 6, and merely disagree on where exactly on the road between 1 and 6 we should push back, or do you think 6 is perfectly fine?
Supreme court rulings are always connected to the law at the time of the ruling. If a law changes (at the state, federal, or constitutional level) that can change how the supreme court will rule. The state probably couldn't invalidate QI for federal officers, but for state officers, why not?
As a listener to NPR, I don't agree that there is a bias toward government spending programs. This, to me, gives more credance to the poor writing in the article. If the writer believes there is a bias, then provide reference to some articles that support their statement.
I'm not greatly angered and I doubt anyone else is. It just strikes me as stupid, that's all.
The Mac still attracts a premium, because that's its market now, for better or worse. When it was conceived, the target price was $999, which it didn't actually hit until the underpowered Mac Classic arrived.

The other products -- iPod, iPhone, iPad -- have definitely been priced to sell, even if they don't appeal to you.

As for compelling, we're talking 1980s here. If the choice was DOS vs System 6, or later Win 3.1 vs System 7, the only thing in Microsoft's favour was price.
Android is still immature but if Google continues to improve it then maybe it will be on par with Apple (or much better)...someday...who knows maybe just like the Yahoo vs Google search way back.
Windows NT 3.1 (1993) and its successors (NT 4.0, Windows 2000, XP and the server equivalents) was independent of DOS, but was separate to the other OSes (Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, ME) that ran with a hybrid 16-bit/32-bit monolithic kernel on top of some sort of MS-DOS.
Profit, Profit, Profit....

It's sad that the 747-400 which was introduced in 1988 is still the fastest commercial aircraft currently.

Yes, but it's part of the original title (and a POV of the article itself), not a subjective addition on the part of link submitter.
A lot of people here seem to be grasping at straws to defend the status quo. Doing things like presenting at conferences, teaching the governor to code, etc., at age 16 are amazing experiences that are only available to people who are willing to do things differently.

And the judgements against her parents are unfortunate. This is one family doing something different. We need more people willing to do interesting things with their educational choices, not less. This is not something a parent would do lightly, without taking great care to discuss with her what she wants. Her parents probably know her far better, and care far more for her well being then anyone here does!

As far as missing out on liberal arts/other subjects... 1) she is still going to take high school online, and 2) it's not like high school education is all that great. A person could do better off teaching themselves at khan academy, and listening to history podcasts, and reading books that interest them.

I'm amazed how critical people are being, who know nothing about the person or situation.
Jingoistic indeed. About the Jack Churchill article, editing Wikipedia seems a bit daunting to me, but maybe someone more experimented could amend or remove the sentence:

"Churchill also carried out the last recorded bow and arrow killing in action"

I'm not sure what they mean by "recorded", but people are still using bows and arrows to kill each other as recently as 2008:

Just yesterday I got some spam from fark. My ex was heavily into fark back in the day.

It's not so much that I was nostalgic for fark. Finding its spam in my inbox, reminded me of the love Bonita and I once had.
The general theme of the conversation down here seems to be around how "high school online" is a very, very different experience than "high school in high school." Socially, in particular.
> How does the end result compare to forking over the extra $ for fresh pasta rather than dried?

Why not just make your own fresh pasta, it's not that hard!

I have an attachment for my food mixer - so all I have to do is put my dry flour in the mixing bowl until the gluten is developed and then feed it through the pasta rollers.

Nice to see they are using Pac-Man as an example domain - when I was doing AI research in this kind of field in an engineering department and was rather unpopular for suggesting that we should forget about working on complex domains (nuclear power stations) and focus on something a bit more manageable - my, actually quite serious, suggestion was Tetris. :-)

Coming back isn't required if the goal were to create a settlement on mars.
Now a SpaceX probe on Mars in ten years, that I can definitely believe.
Well, to be fair, we're still within the margin of error for a Big Crunch or a Big Rip, as well. (Maybe we'll even get lucky and not get to see a Vacuum Decay coming.)

I'd also like insight into this. Are apps still not isolated enough for this?

Is this more due to FB dragnet network analytics that they can put enough data together that it doesn't matter if you isolate the app?
I have never experienced this. Care to be more specific?
Can you imagine going back 500 years and telling the Kings of the world in their courts - with a straight face- that man in the future will send humans to the moon. And he will get there, take pictures, ride around a moon buggy, and come back safe and sound.

Not only will you be drawn and quartered for blaspheming, some might just kill you out of pity. The poor mad thing.

Today a 7 year old can say that with as much non-chalance as you please. And yet - Mars is impossible. A delusion. Surely you jest.
I think the two are not quite equivalent. Smoking is the action, while obesity is the condition. The equivalent would be shaming smokers for getting cancer or shaming obese people for overeating (to nitpickers: yes, this is a simplification).

The main difference seems to be that smoking in public inflicts secondhand smoke on others, while obesity inflicts... taking up more room on public transit? IF shaming is effective at curbing public smoking, and there is no shaming for smoking in private, then I think you could have a logically consistent position.

I don't know if the first of those is true, and the second definitely isn't (although maybe a different level of intensity), so I'm not saying there is consistency, just that it's possible.
The hardware + software configuration for the majority of touchpads I've used on Chromebooks are on par or better than MacBook touchpads. It's just that people pretend they don't exist, whether in consumer complaints comparing MacBooks to everything else, or by the people responsible for freedesktop-based software who themselves continue purchasing terrible hardware and keep the software (drivers, userspace apps, etc) in the same sad state that it's always been in instead of copying what's happening with Chromebooks.

Look at Firefox for an example of the latter. I'm typing this on a Chromebook intended to run ChromeOS, but it's actually running Ubuntu. The touchpad experience from the factory is as good as it should be. When you wipe the machine and install Ubuntu and use Chrome, it's still pretty good. Running Firefox on the same system gives you its same janky scroll behavior that you get anywhere else that isn't a MacBook, for no good reason.

People act like there's some yet-to-be-understood law of nature that make MacBook touchpads good and everything else bad. This is demonstrably false. We have existence proofs to the contrary.
I disagree. Apple's incentives is to make everybody that has an iPhone pay for apps instead of using advertising supported apps, essentially making things more expensive for the customers.

You can think of it as a common. Blocking tracking essentially is a destruction of a bit of commons; the app developer will get less revenue. By systematically encouraging this block, Apple is making it comparatively less worthwhile to have an ad-supported app instead of a paid app, thus moving revenue to the app store (where Apple can tax it) instead of the advertising side (where it is monetarily free for the user.)

If we really wanted to find out what is right for the user[1], the correct thing is to see if users want to buy their way out of tracking. Offer the apps with advertising with tracking, with advertising without tracking, and without advertising - at different prices, representing the value of the advertising and tracking. My bet is that a majority of users would not want to pay the cost of non-tracked advertising - either they'll want to buy away advertising (and that will only be a small fraction) or they'll want the free variant. Basically, all data I've seen indicate that most people don't want to buy their way out of advertising - it's too expensive. I expect the same applies to tracking.

[1] Under the assumption that we've got an efficient market and will see an equilibrium of development that correspond to value created.
Looking down on people is human nature. I'm self taught myself, no formal education of any kind and I'm the first person in my family to work a white collar job like this. My experience is even people in my own family can't help but make snide comments when I succeed. Some time ago I walked out of ear shot at a family gathering and my own grandmother dismissively mentioned that my success was simply because "he applies to a lot of jobs", she loves me and means well but even she can't resist. Let it roll off you like water on a duck.
Hi, How does this work? I added a few ebooks to my cart and tried to use the promo code, but it still doesn't show any change.

But yes, it would be wise for people to not believe that they are a special and unique snowflake who will succeed no matter what in the face of adversity...the world just doesn't work like that.

I guess you could say shoot for the stars, but stay realistic.
If it's true, I don't understand why it took one guy hiring a lawyer on his own who did the detective work necessary to help out the rest of the industry.

You know, instead of like the concerted efforts of the industry itself. Does the VFX arm of the industry just not care to get involved in lobbying/lawyers?

I saw this. I have a lot of respect for Githubbers and Github but is Node really the language for a text editor? My text editor that's built natively to my OS often struggles, let alone if it's Node. Seems like they're shoehorning the wrong technology.
Another option: if you're running Linux on the host, you can build everything there and then scp the unikernels into dom0 for deployment, which might be easier (that's what I do).

Not sure if you can build Xen unikernels natively under OS X though.
>Resolution through avoidance

Then there's no resolution.

Are you saying avoid talking about the conflict? Not sure how can you can resolve a situation with that.
I agree. 99 is a lot of money and basic things like epics should not be exclusive to a super expensive edition.
It's hard to say. Blender has a very rich feature set and it's not easy knowing if it will be relevant for your role.

I picked it up as a hobbyist/artist and I really enjoyed it. I haven't used the modelling capabilities in my day-job, but I have used the video-editing capabilities to make instructional videos that were useful in my day-job. For that alone I'm glad that I picked it up.
Who else was reminded of Up in the Air by Antoine Rose?
Ditto @ 21 years! It's not work, it's a hobby I happen to get paid (well) to spend time doing (well). The field is sufficiently vast, with "new things" (that I can teach myself at 0 cost, not including time) "coming out" at an ever increasing rate that there isn't the slightest chance I'll run out of things to learn. Plus almost all of my "old knowledge" is still relevant.
"Also, remember he ignores apps which are available on both systems."

That seems reasonable, since the idea of a "killer app" could be defined as one whose existence leads you to pick the platform it's on over any other.

If an app is available on both Android and iPhone, then it's not decisive. You can still choose either platform.

The problem with the sex offender registry is that its implied claim ("this person has at some time in the past committed a crime that would lead us to believe they are a sexual danger to others") is often false. That is, the actual crime would not lead a reasonable person to believe that the offender present a danger to them. In the event that it were always true or the burdens added by the label were always justified, there would be no wrong in reporting it to the public.

> for "life"

You mean for the duration of their stay in the registry.

> Give me any reason to believe this system will lead to a better end than the sex offender registry and I'll change my mind.

Ends are all well and good. But to me, a more important issue is that the public has a right to state facts about publicly committed acts in any forum they desire and which allows it. If people believe that it is beneficial to air their concerns about other people's driving in this forum, no tentative evaluation of the quality of the ends can be permitted to preempt that right.
I often email urls to myself.
And some have all 320s, and a surprising number are buying mostly vinyl. But everyone uses YouTube to listen to tracks they don't own, aren't available to stream (many, for Spotify), or are vinyl-only. It's always the go-to for house parties.

There's a lot of variety out there, but you're right, YouTube is the backstop.

- Kalium's Argument, Paraphrased
It's a problem that derives from the complexity of copyright law. The result is that the only way to be certain renders user-generated content sites completely unworkable.

If your intent is to have a chilling effect on free speech on the internet, requiring a huge and messy legal process to publish something is a good way to do it.
The terminology is admittedly confusing. This is how I understand it:

Ray casting: Determine intersection of a ray analytically
Ray marching: Determine intersection of a ray by taking stepwise samples
Ray tracing: Ray casting or marching along a light path (from the camera)
Path tracing: Ray tracing with random experiments

The first two are ray calculation strategies, the latter are rendering strategies. In ray tracing you usually have many simplifications and effects like in real-time rendering, for example direct light models. In path tracing these effects are the result from approximating the full rendering equation.
In the meantime, countries are closing their borders and isolating more than even the most regressive and backwards-looking people could have dreamed of a year ago. Almost no country has a response plan that has anything to do with any other country at all. As an American abroad, it honestly feels like I'm trapped between waiting on uncertain visa extensions and being forced headfirst into the pandemic by returning home.
