Thief 3 and Deus Ex 2 happened. Basically a string of poor executions in a row just about killed it. I have been thinking about trying to put together a steam punk \ prohibition Chicago stealth game but it seems to never make it to the top of the priority list.
I don't know if it's perfect. What if the thing that you're trying to hijack the hype of eclipses yours? If the media are only going to write about one thing today and yours is second best, why would they write about yours?
Seriously, with 2.0 planned as a complete overhaul, I don't even know how quick I'd be to switch to it if it came out tomorrow. TextMate 1.5 + the Ack bundle already does very nearly everything I want -- my only desire would be slightly better Perl 6 support.
forgoing Facebook or Twitter means giving up whole categories of activity.

Seriously? Twitter is one of the most plainly worthless websites every made and Facebook is a pure copycat of a copycat of a copycat.
I believe one reason they chose it is so that automatic reformats like renaming a variable don't cause reformats to more lines than necessary.

Keeping lines reasonably short is nice but doesn't need to be done strictly. It can wait until someone edits the code.
YouTube famously rolled view count of Gangnam Style to negative because long int wasn’t big enough.
No, more like, instead of whining, men just quit jobs that suck aka "take this job and shove it".

It's generally about acceptable usage of "top-level" programming objects, of which an API is one.

A related concept which comes to mind is killing in self-defense. We may say killing is killing is killing, yet society acknowledges a limited set of circumstances where it becomes permissible. In both self-defense and this court case, the difference in permissibility is context within a broader system.
Ugh, I haaaaaaaaaate this habit of masking real timestamps and making them progressively worse.

It _completely_ changes the meaning, if someone asked a question about airplanes on September 10th, 2001 or one day later. Just saying "two decades ago" with no way to reveal the original timestamp removes that context.

It's just one of a whole lot of ways the modern web goes out of its way to get in my way.
Fortunately not every region took lockdowns to include barring going outside. At least here outdoor trails and parks were open, barring gatherings like large picnics and cookouts, for people to walk, run, cycle, or hike pretty early on.
> Uber could be much more proactive in surveilling drivers and terminating them for noncompliance

I know some do it for fun but most people don't become Uber drivers because they're swimming in cash. Your solution to helping the blind is to give 5-figure liability to low income drivers, and put them on a tight leash as you secretly try to trip them up.
This. It would be absurdly easy for Uber to allow riders to specify "I have a service animal" and drivers to specify "I have a dog allergy" (probably with a requirement to provide a doctor's note to avoid abuse). You simply don't pair those riders with those drivers.
Sure people could always lie. In practice I’ve seen people say it’s an emotional support animal or produce their doctors note for it, which somewhat ironically confirms it’s not actually a service dog.
> Consistently pro-war

Whenever the Economist speaks about the Iraq War, they add in parentheses “(which this newspaper supported)”. They don’t need to do that after so many years, but they do it anyway. That level of candour impressed me.

This from 2018, 15 years after the war started - “Iraq, in other words, is doing well (see article). Some will argue that this justifies America’s invasion to overthrow Saddam Hussein (which we supported). It does not. Too much blood was shed along the way in Iraq and elsewhere.”
(https://www.economist.com/leaders/2018/03/28/fifteen-years-a...)

This level of self-reflection is rare.

> ITG sent an explanation of their methodology and there is no indication that the data represents inside information.

This is a pretty giant red flag here. No "official" data, versus what we know - Verizon is easily the largest Android carrier in the US, Android's marketshare has been on a meteoric rise, and Google is claiming 300k Android activations per day (which, granted, is likely a worldwide number!) versus Apple's claimed 230k iOS activations per day (which again, is worldwide, and includes the iPad and iPod Touch).

I don't at all buy the argument that Verizon's Android push has failed, which is why they're looking to pick up the iPhone. I think that Verizon's Android push has wildly succeeded, but they're looking to capitalize on AT&T's battered reputation by carrying the iPhone as well. To think that a carrier must commit to a single platform at the expense of all others is somewhat silly. Verizon will see a lot of growth by offering the iPhone, and I suspect much of it will be in the form of AT&T customers who are fed up with subpar service but who love the device itself.
Detection is the easy part -- recognition has always been the stumper!
I bought Infinity Blade when it first came out - I'm not surprised they've done so well. The game is beautifully designed with immersive environments, engaging battle mechanics and of course an addicting XP/weaponry/magic setup.
Oh, that's good
I love how this paper doesn't overreach, but instead carefully admits what we can and can't conclude from the historical evidence.

I am starting to see the light on all this tooling madness. It does not matter: languages and their ecosystems are powerful enough for any project to build their own tools. Projects are fond of their tools, so they give them fancy names and logos, and release them in hopes they are useful to somebody.

I agree, Ive never seen such open and constant collaboration work at scale. Most effective teams are small, but even if you have a large team Ive never seen long stretches where collaboration persists for extremely long periods of time. Good effective communication is an absolute must in business, but your collaboration is probably bothering the major of people around you who are not collaborating on what you are working on. Small conference/huddle rooms are good for this.

The issue is that of trust; if you have a full-time neighbor (renting or owning), you generally trust that they will respect the building/neighborhood, and over time will grow to trust them as people. They're more accountable. When you have random people flowing in and out every few days, that trust is not there. For example, Airbnb guests won't go out of their way to be sure to honor quiet hours... why bother if they're just there for a few days and don't have to deal with the neighbors on an ongoing basis?

I absolutely love using Airbnb and prefer it over hotels in nearly every place I visit, but I won't pretend it's somehow good for the neighborhood or neighbors.
Eminent domain in the US still requires fair compensation.
This is interesting. The same poster also moved the goalpost in a response to one of my comments. I hadn't yet read your comment, but also responded by noting the goalpost movement. The sad thing is, I had already clarified in my own post the difference between making a deep state reference in general, and this specific and obvious joke.
Sidenote: There are many , many more interesting temples, monuments in India. India is not just Taj Mahal. A lot of the historical temples were destroyed though so you will only see the ruins which are poorly maintained.

My recommendations:

1. Any temples in South India like the ones in the city of Mahabalipuram
2. Ajanta & Ellora caves in Maharashtra
3. Ruins of Hampi in state of Karnataka

If you are feeling adventurous post Covid-19 in the future, check the crowds at a Temple like Tirupati (rumors has it that it has one of the largest Gold vaults in the world, cannot attest to it personally but i know it is the richest temple in India)
But how much earlier are they dying than they otherwise would have? After all, anything that kills you is just killing you before something else would have killed you. It’s not very satisfying to say “they would have died anyway” without giving some time frame on that, since that’s literally always true.
That's what I did. After faffing about with various cheap bags from a variety of places, I heard about Tom Bihn's backpacks. I went to their showroom in Seattle, tried on a few backpacks, and left with one[0] that fit nicely against my back and had all of the pockets I could want.

That was four (five?) years ago and that bag has been on multiple vacations and work trips and carried every day by bus and train and walking, in the rain and snow and dry, with nothing but a little dirt.

Apples to oranges. Can not compare Italy with Germany.

Germans are willingly being tested, there process, order, proactive testing. In Italy everyone is 1) quarantined for the past 2 weeks and 2) didn’t even give a crap about this prior to the quarantine.

Italy is triaging, out of hospital space, vastly over estimating numbers, and probably using models with some accuracy to report their numbers. Unless someone can PROVE this otherwise.

Their death rate is what it is due to a very elderly population, with 2 or more co-morbidities, in understaffed and overwhelmed hospitals full of chaos, and infection.
It is a good question. I can't tell you which is better than the other. Laravel is a good framework. Currently Laravel will be a good choice since it has a big ecosphere and support.

We create Windwalker just because we want a high performance framework with a bundle system like Symfony, we don't love too many static Facades in Laravel. And we all familiar to Joomla style for a long time.

I believe developers will choose what they like or familiar to, not for the one which is more powerful.

But there is still something Windwalker do better than others, please see:
http://windwalker.io/about/features.html

And you can also consider Windwalker packages if you think it is useful, for example, if you want to use Blade out of Laravel, Windwalker Renderer will help you:

I'm certainly no art high roller, but my understanding is that the art world has a long history of patrons like this, who have eclectic tastes, large networks of trusting collectors, and an eye for the new. Everyone hates them, until eventually they build the Guggenheim museum and then everyone thinks they were awesome.

If that was a case, people running SSDP (and other UDP service) honeypots would no doubt have noticed the massive increase in traffic.
There are many things to be worried about in the world, however I do not think we need to be overly fearful of the concept of producing a portable lamp close to the location where we want to then use it.
man this region of Korea as a whole always have these stories popping up. Unlike the rest of the Korea South western part of Korea is economically undeveloped as a result of the political elite being from South Eastern region which benefit tremendously (namely Hyundai and other big companies creating large amount of jobs).

Allegedly there exists a couple millenia old feud between Koreans from these two regions of West and East.

People from West and East don't marry each other or do business together. Much of Korea's online communities show extreme hatred for people from South West region of Korea.
But this leaves for potentially unethical situations like vulnerable populations who cannot afford batteries or winterized electricity. Im thinking someone disabled living on disability probably can’t afford premium electricity bills even if they need to maintain their lifesaving and expensive equipment yknow?
The "ghost city" phenomenon always seemed like a good headline, ignoring the real building tragedy going on: poor quality housing, poor city planning, poor urban facilities. I see massive developments going on around me and yes, for a long time they are empty and ghostlike. they slowly fill up, and the urban centers become that bit more unliveable, that bit more crowded etc.
Of course there's a nonzero probability. That's an easy conjecture to make about any startup taking on something brand new. You'll always find hundreds of reasons to say no in venture investing.

But what if they're right? What if does become a hit? What if this is a great new communications paradigm? Then the $12M greylock put in or the $100M purchase of periscope is a frickin' bargain.
Hey there - I'm the founder of Swapt. As a5seo pointed out, we did pay certain users for reviews (much like Yelp in its early days) and offer other incentives (e.g. donations to local charities). Our average cost per review was around $1-3 when you factored in all the incentives (note that +50% of our reviews came from unpaid reviewers). The average number of reviews per user was 8 - much less than the "hundreds" claimed above. There were a few users that wrote +100 reviews, but they all worked in real estate (e.g. agents/brokers).

The major problem with "apartment reviews" is that the average person has only lived in 3-4 places and doesn't typically want to write about places they've visited, which significantly limits the # of potential reviews per user. As a rule of them, only ~1% of users contribute content, so you really need that 1% to contribute a lot of content. This works for Yelp because that 1% can contribute hundreds or thousands of reviews (e.g. they may try a new restaurant every week). But this isn't the case for housing given the low turnover.

Brokers can write significantly more reviews but some users found their reviews to be biased (e.g. only giving positive reviews to apartment communities that they represent). The brokers were also very motivated by money, so unless you have an established audience that will help them secure new business, it's a tough sell.

Overall, I learned quite a bit from the experience and definitely think there are numerous ways that startups could bring greater transparency to the rental market. But if you're trying to do "apartment reviews," just understand that this will likely take you many years and many VCs are unwilling to be that patient.

If you want to know anything else about my experience with Swapt, just ask or hit me up on LinkedIn. Best of luck.
"We found what we were looking for in TLA+,11 a formal specification language based on simple discrete math, or basic set theory and predicates, with which all engineers are familiar."

Somehow I get the sense that this is an extremely optimistic view of our profession. Even when you look at only those engineers hired by Amazon.
Found the clip. That doctor is insane.
Food is Max $150-$200 per month and a decent working car can be had for less than $2k, which can easily be afforded on even a McDonald's job, which is mostly just a socializing group. I am friends with several fast food workers and they are too busy having sex with their coworkers and partying to be concerned with any of this.
> as a measure of lowering healthcare worker exposure and reducing use of limited personal protective equipment supplies.

It's not about test availability, but rather exposure of healthcare workers and use of PPE. If you're already in the hospital people will be wearing PPE if they can get it.

Now that NY has gotten to this point PPE seems to be the bottleneck.
Have you caught the JR Yamanote in peak hour?

I’ve never been touched by so many strangers so much in life.

Workers in japan also rarely take sick leave, even at this time.
If you're going to do that, why not just forego human readability entirely and user an interchange format like protobuf or flatbuffers?
They have a very small staff, and the website isn't their main source of income. A few years ago they spun off two other SaaS products for libraries, and that's what mostly pays the bills.

The data from LibraryThing powers book recommendations for libraries and other metadata for a lot of libraries, and they also sell a very low-cost cataloging system targeted at small libraries.

I switched to LT from GoodReads a few years ago, and really prefer it.
I changed database.yml to use 10 connections. I didn't change the Sidekiq configuration, which still uses concurrency: 25.

Strangely, tonight I've seen the first exceptions like `ActiveRecord::ConnectionTimeoutError: could not obtain a connection from the pool within 5.000 seconds (waited 5.000 seconds); all pooled connections were in use` in many, many years.

All of these exceptions came from within Sidekiq Workers, which is strange because, like I pointed, I didn't change the Sidekiq concurrency, only the database.yml pool, which shouldn't affect workers.
I had the same problem when trying out Haskell:

they give abstractions that are not constant multipliers in terms of speed or memory usage compared to a low level solution (like garbage collection and dynamic typing).

Rust gives just the opposite type of abstraction over C++: memory safety without adding any unpredictability in execution (and of course updates in the language design).

While relational algebra (SQL) is equivalent to logic algebra, it's easier to reason how it executes.

Anything accessible without a screwdriver is generally considered user-upgradeable. A bit of a design faux pas, especially considering the precedent set by Apple in their recent consumer hardware.
It seems you've forgotten Visual Voicemail. Prior to the iPhone, every phone I ever saw required playing through messages sequentially instead of jumping to what I wanted to hear. That's a huge improvement in usability.

I guess entering a new market with a higher priced product and many established competitors doesn't count as risky if the product is really good? That's hardly a failing.

I guess when man first used fire to cook, you might argue that eating something warm wasn't a new concept. After all, some animals had eaten fresh kill or each others droppings before they cooled off.

The idea of Apple having retail stores wasn't a new concept.
Risk there?

A positive spin on this idiotic story, nicely done. Activism need not be violent nor do people need to be yelled at or talked down to.

I still firmly believe that any TSA employee who doesn't want to be a part of this should refuse to, just as any traveller should refuse to go through the machine. But, there need not be drama. In fact, I'd say that refusal without drama and in public has a more powerful effect than any verbal argument might.
