Agreed. I built an in-house mobile crash reporting solution even though the commercial options range from decent to excellent because none of them offered self-hosted, nor a way to export your data. We really wanted the data because it's allowed us to determine the cause of crashes and answer other questions that we otherwise couldn't w/o the raw data. There were also privacy concerns, even though in theory crash reports shouldn't have any PII. And we really don't need third parties knowing our DAU numbers and whatever else in any case.

There are finally some self-hosted commercial options in this space, but we've already built our solution and it works well.
>I see a lot of people bringing this up but in a game where you don't actually "win", more money doesn't actually make you win.

You don't the guy who spent $30,000 on ships (recent article) is going to win encounters more often than the guy who spent the minimum?

I suspect Mr. Balsillie still owns a chunk of BBRY stock, which in turn claims ownership of a massive (multi-billion dollar)[1] patent portfolio. Some might argue that these patents represent the majority of the residual value of his former company, hence the alarmist rhetoric. The absence of any concrete info on how this will harm innovation is laughable.

This sounds like its catering to the deathmatch/Counter-Strike crowd, rather than the people who actually want to play an RTS game. StarCraft 2 is incredibly streamlined compared to some of the pioneering RTSs that people my age and older cut their teeth on. Sweet Jesus, some of those early games didn't even have multiple unit selection...

I'll admit, I'm an oddity, because I have almost never played any games multiplayer - for me, it is all about the single-player experience, which boils down to story, and how fun the actual gameplay is. I don't really care about the meta-game, or how friendly the game is to e-sports, and really, the optimizations that make a game more attractive on those fronts make it less attractive to me.
If you try to play that way, it's actually pay-to-lose-money. In EvE, the rule is never fly anything you're not willing to lose, and the same applies to SC. After all: why would anyone complain about the opportunity to blap an unskilled carebear's expensive ship when they can collect a bounty on it?

The main difference with SC seems to just be the insurance policies. In EvE the policy will cover much of the raw material cost of the ship, which is prolly going to be a painful fraction of the total outfitting. SC has the Lifetime insurance which guarantees you'll have a hull to fly... but not much else. It may even be possible to insure fittings and cargo, but again, that's a gold sink in-game.

Excellent point. Specifically, I wonder if it could run afoul with the US' laws forbidding bribing foreign officials. That would be a supreme irony.
Canada's already lost at innovation. Almost everyone I know who graduated with a STEM degree moved to the US immediately upon graduation.

My favorite example: Apoorva Mehta invented Instacart in Waterloo, Canada because it was too cold to go grocery shopping and too expensive to own a car. Then he immediately went to San Francisco (a city with warm weather and cheap cars?!) to start his unicorn.

Waterloo students still go shopping in the snow. #fail.

Seems to prove the decided non-triviality of English, really. In fact, it could read as part of a proof that English words can't be read, or written, at all, because essentially it shows that English orthography has basically no rules - all sequences of letters can be pronounced in any way.

Some other words: lambda, lambada, lambaste, lambent.

Even if you argue some of those words are foreign loan words, they're still found in English dictionaries. Limiting yourself to very ancient words of Saxon origin won't leave you with much to work on.

The people who build speech synthesizers have already researched this. If pronunciation dictionaries mapping letter patterns to spoken phonemes really were trivial, they'd be very happy.

Unfortunately they aren't.

Today we know what air is, but for ancient people it was far from obvious.

Plato describes it thus:

"There are similar differences in the air; of which the brightest part is called the aether, and the most turbid sort mist and darkness; and there are various other nameless kinds which arise from the inequality of the triangles."

http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/timaeus.html

Mist, darkness and aether are completely unrelated to any modern definition of air.
I chose InfluxDB about a year ago because it was the only option that allowed me to put each individual event into a time series and then do the grouping/counting after the fact. The prometheus docs used to say this it wasn't suited to that use case. Is that still the case?

edit: yup, the prometheus docs indicate InfluxDB is better suited to this use case.

Aside, I really appreciate this comparison page and the prometheus docs in general are well done.

1) Yea it uses power, but so do all the millions of machines that are used for banking. In fact, if you compare them, Bitcoin is extremely efficient.

2) Well, first of all you're just talking about the current state of the blockchain. Perhaps in the future we can 'archive' transactions so they don't have to be downloaded any more. Furthermore, you're talking about 10~20 years time from now. By then 10TB will be irrelevantly small. Nowadays you can already buy a 4TB hard drive for like $100.

3) Eh what? First of all this point doesn't even make sense, but Satoshi isn't even needed any more. The work is fully open source and it's now being led by the community.

Anyway, I really don't see what you post has to do with OP's question. You're not answering him, but just repeating some old refuted fallacies.

Is the guy going to cruise around on an invincible $10000 spaceship? (None exists, fwiw)

What if he bought 300 $100 spaceship, what's his advantage over the guy who has one $100 spaceship + insurance?

Are you able to tell me what the guy's advantage is? I'm sure he has more ships, but that's not useful for an individual. Maybe he'll hand them out to his guild? Who knows.

The economy and ship performance layout of the game is similar to Eve: Bigger/More luxurious ships cost more, but are not necessarily mean they're more powerful. The Banu Merchantman is a trading ship which costs twice the price of a Hornet, the top dogfighting ship. You can bet a Hornet would win against five of the former.

PS: The studio is not stupid, they know they can't just go the pay2win route if they want the game to actually be playable.
The whole idea of the state-sponsored troll army is to destroy the Internet as a reliable means of discussion and to devalue it as a venue for journalism, especially independent journalism. Russia would much prefer that there were only liars and cheerleaders, that anyone disagreeing with the Kremlin sinks to their level or picks a 'side'.

I think that it shows that their bosses don't really understand real Internet discussion and don't know that people can identify trolls, regardless if they are state-sponsored or not.
Ok, so by "terrorist" I assume you mean someone who's technically innocent, because you have no proof of a crime?

By "the bomb goes off killin 243 people", you invoke hindsight. Ok, so now we're talking about how to best prevent an attack that kills 243 (or so) people, given we have a suspect in custody.

You seem to imply the answer is that our best chance of preventing the first bomb was to torture the person we at the time couldn't know was a terrorist. But maybe the best way would be to sweep for parked abandoned cars?

You do clearly illustrate why if you don't have oversight, institutions dealing with violent crime etc are likely to degenerate.
I think it's way more than that. There's a number of ways to motivate people, such as involving them in the team mission and empowering them, compensation, and recognition. Motivated people will do what it takes, including thinking about work off hours.

I suppose I have an "outsider's" view on cultural matters but I've always been highly skeptical of framing culture in such absolute terms. While it is true culture is a nebulous concept that has a tendency to leak everywhere doesn't mean that it's so smoke-and-mirrors that you can never sit back and examine things. Many people are forced to do this through talk therapy via the development of unhealthy thinking patterns because of a life circumstance in which they developed them.

vim-sleuth handles this one by looking at similar files in the same directory (or the rest of the tree, if it doesn't find any.)

POSIX wants the newline.

I get your point though. I used to use editorconfig myself, but it didn't really do anything for me. IMHO linters/formatters do a much better job.
This is not how torture works in real life. At least, not the one made by security forces.

Both of my parents were tortured, both faced it several times. My father was in prison twice and my mother was never in prison but took directly to military places. But not only they were tortured, several people from the circle of family friends were tortured too. One of them now works in a state program trying to help the people who were tortured to continue with their lifes, even if they were tortured in 1974-1980.

While the 1973 was made with support of US and brazilian governments, there was no support when the firsts arrests came. Most of people faced strong pain under different methods, including electricity, beating to almost dead, removing nails, etc... but it was only after the US experts arrived that torture became effective.

Torture is about removing will. A common practice after that was not only rape by military, but they put dogs to rape woman. They took their fingers off and put them in cells full of shit so they had to avoid the infections. Put them in really small spaces until they were lost.

This were process made by days, they didn't get into shock status, they were destroyed as human beings. When they go out, torturers didn't ask them: "hey, how do i find this person"... they just took a bunch of pictures and check the reactions. Or they put them in a car and go around the city and let them see somebody they knew.

By the way, when you reach this point you don't care about torture anymore like to try to avoiding it letting the torturer hear anything they want to hear. You are broke, you don't have will, the only thing you can wish is to be dead. You don't resist anymore.

Torture was so effective that political organizations who were fighting the dictatorship adopted the policy of when somebody is arrested, all their known people had to run and disappear in 24 hours.

This article compares medical experimentation with varying levels of egregiousness, but leaves unmentioned the variable interpretation of the standard of care used for control groups. Is the standard of care the regimen that was outlined in the most-cited international guidelines published 6 years ago, or is it the guideline supplemented by off-label drugs that have gained widespread usage for their published increase in treatment efficacy but have not made it into the guidelines yet, because the meeting to rewrite them is next year? Things change fast in cancer and infectious disease and other fields, so this becomes important when designing trials.

Anecdotally, it is also interesting to enroll patients in research/trials. The idea of a fully-informed patient is incomplete in that patients are not doctors specialising in their disease, so they will always be much less informed about risks. Even if a patient hears a risk of a treatment is , for example, aplastic anemia and is 'informed', it would take a few hours to explain the possible consequences of that one side effect, much less the others. Consequently, a lot of consenting to research or treatment protocols involve an immense amount of trust. One patient was skeptical of a research protocol until it was explained very carefully, after which I chatted with the family for 1-2 hours waiting for the next blood draw and let them know that I had put on my bow tie just to see them (which was true). Other patients just don't even give hearing about it a shot, which is disheartening sometimes.
That's not really fair because CIG is not charging you, but rather you are pledging for it.
Agreed, I had a designer work with me on a contract who was inqusitive. I showed him that git can undo all his mistakes without affecting the team, taught him a good JavaScript foundation, and pointed him to some good resources. In a month he was proficient, in 6 you could not tell him from any other senior. He is out in the valley now doing well.

Moral of the story is inquisitiveness and problem solving are the two big skills to look for. Anyone can learn syntax.

Similar issue in Sausalito above the Bridge. Wolfback Ridge Rd is a publicly maintained road yet they have a gate and sign that says otherwise.

i played SC2 and CSGO on OSX just fine for years. when i switched to better graphics hardware on Windows my CS rank jumped from MG2 to LEM, but i can't attribute this to the OS at all.

also, having only one hero to control only gives you the illusion that Dota/LoL is easier. it takes just as much effort to be "remotely good" at Dota as SC2. this is why most people who play casually are trash. MOBAs have so many players who don't even understand enough about the game to recognize they are bad. at least in SC it's obvious.
The devil is mostly in the details, and enough pigment is in the PLA to somewhat alter printing characteristics. I believe different color PLA has different smells but that is right on (or past) the detection border.

Raw "natural" uncolored PLA is probably about as toxic as a corn cob or piece of wood, in other words it can probably mess up some embryos but its not a serious problem. Its polymerized lactic acid, not exactly biochemically exotic, we're not talking about organometallics here or arsenic chemistry or something exotic like that. It "should" be very biochemically boring.

On the other hand there is a VERY long history of pigments in general being toxic. Add in legendary Chinese safety standards and I would not be surprised if there is a problem with chromium-VI tinted orange PLA. Or white lead pigment in white PLA. Oh I'm sure the press releases will say its all lead free and gluten free and organic free range plastic, but on the other hand I'm sure we all know strange things get shipped and they're not using FDA approved food dye for everything over there.

I was very displeased with the tone of the article claiming ABS (which stinks) and PLA (which is nearly odorless) are very superficially both dangerous and only later in the article do I read that PLA's effect was barely statistically measurable although the other plastic is a highly effective mass murderer. Oh just a slight bias in the article until it comes time to report results, just a tiny little bit of bias. Perhaps they patented that too.
Given that one of the most commonly discussed and unpleasant torture methods involves simulating the experience of drowning, I've often wondered why so few people consider inflicting that exact same experience on many enemy sailors by means of missile or torpedo to be even remotely bending the rules of engagement. Granted, the person that fires the fatal shot probably isn't an incorrigible sadist and may even be at imminent risk of a similar fate themselves, but they're still inflicting that suffering with a similar level of intentionality and certainty to a CIA operative with a bucket...
> Can graphite/opentsdb/whatsoever find specific patterns indicating a disease (for example T-wave inversion)? No, but this is OK, because they're not designed for this. We should build new tools to solve new problems, not the old ones (like monitoring in DevOps).

You know, that sounds like exactly the kind of thing you'd want to do in a DevOps world (leverage your data and new ideas to predict problems).

So, you're not just right that we need to look at timeseries because there are many interesting new problems that we might solve with them, but also because there are still many problems we want to solve in DevOps.
I remember following the game with optimism until FPS combat was announced.

I expressed my fears of feature creep an a massive increase in development time on forums and was dismissed by fans as "it's just a small detail" and "the underlying engine supports it".

It's naive to think adding seamless fps to a game of this scale wouldn't massively increase complexity. And if it's just a small detail perhaps it isn't worth it.

- Graphite

- Elastic (Expects to be populated by logstash)

OpenTSDB was the original time series database so that has some extra UI features compared to others for graphing. My hope is that InfluxDB will mature to the point in availability that we can use it and ditch the hbase dependency. But Currently OpenTSDB is the best option for us.

They did the OpenGL ports anyways for Linux and CS:GO was originally developed for PS3 and XBOX 360 as well, so porting to OS X was likely not as much of a problem as it is for other games, because it had portability in mind.

Source runs rather well on OpenGL as well. The same can't be said about most other engines.
