I am sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. This game, was it a OSX/iOS exclusive or cross-platform AAA game?
I pretty much only use the Mac App Store anymore. There are maybe 2 apps I use that I get outside of it. I have a bunch that I are woefully out of date because their developers abandoned me. It's too bad that rather than trying to push to make it a better place developers are just leaving.
Thanks, corrected!

It's a different game, but it seems to be in the same genre. The blurb even describes it as "similar to Civilization". It's reasonable to ask for two games in the same genre, and with the primary description of one as being similar to the main influence for another, "what are the differences? Why would I want to play this game over that game?"

To answer that, you can click through to the "About" page (http://www.freecol.org/about.html), which spends most of its time answering exactly this question (which demonstrates that this is a reasonable question to ask):

In Civilization the objective was to build a nation that
could stand the test of times and that could also do one
of the following: conquer the world or be the first to
launch a spaceship. In Colonization things are bit
different ...

A Colonization game starts in 1492 and the objective is
to colonize America. You begin the game with one vessel
and two colonists.
A large part of the instability and security problems are also because software is so, so SO much more complex these days. There is just a lot more to consider when writing code than there used to be. So it's not necessarily that it's moving too fast, it could also just be from increased complexity.

Hiding Implementation Details with ECMAScript 6 WeakMaps
Back when I played Ingress, most city-level activity was coordinated through private G+ communities (with neighborhood-level activity being done in Hangouts group chats), and the more social stuff (i.e., the stuff you don't care about keeping secret from the Smurfs) tended to happen in public G+ communities.

LinkedIn is a good tool for viewing someone's public resume, though I don't regularly log into it. Every once in a while, I'll log in to check out how a previous employer is doing (e.g. see which of my ex-coworkers are still at the company, what new positions have been created, etc.). I still have dozens of unanswered connection requests from recruiters, though (I don't accept people I don't know), and the site has gotten progressively spammier over the years.

They should seriously do something about the review times. I'm sure they can come up with a plenty of good solutions if they wanted to.

I suggest maybe giving developers a bank of a set number of expedited review passes per year or so, so they can use it when they really need it. Damn it.

The code would be readable, robust, efficient, and take no more space than necessary.

I'm not sure who you're quoting with those quote marks. It's not Apple though, because I don't believe they ever said any such thing.

The reason Apple has always given is security. This is the reason they gave for not allowing third party access to the JIT version of the javascript engine. Their critics at the time claimed this was really because they didn't want other browsers competing with Safari, and they'd never let anyone have it because of that. Then when Apple developed the XPC framework allowing secure remote execution, they opened up the JIT engine to third party browsers in a secure way.

So far Apple's actual behaviour has been completely consistent with their stated reasons, which are not the reasons you are 'quoting' from somewhere, and in several respect contrary to the predictions of their critics. Isn't it possible that they are being honest about their motives?

But on the other hand, yes, the Mac App Store is a broken mess. Right now it's part of the problem with app distribution on the desktop, not part of the solution.
Which is to say, that's exactly what Apple's scheme does, except in one crucial point where it does not, which malfunctioned and caused a bunch of havoc.

Titan Urban ┋ Bay Area, CA ┋ Fulltime ┋ONSITE

Launching with a very big client next week, and more are waiting.

Work with a star team of ground-transportation industry veterans to build a new on-demand ride platform. Not ride sharing: premium vehicles, premium drivers, available only to corporate clients. We need:

- Mobile
- Web
- Backend
- QA

We have two iOS apps, an Android app, and lots of interesting work to do on the web and backend. So far it’s been a sprint, and so we’re looking for some disciplined and thoughtful developers to lay the groundwork for a mature system that will take us through the upcoming growth.

We’re small, so we can offer meaningful equity along with salary. Relocation possible.

This is an unusual opportunity to join a small startup with significant traction, and work closely alongside team members making a ground transportation operation come to life. Our product team includes founders of legendary and successful startups, and we maintain a tough but nurturing culture. We're looking for people who want to do the best work of their lives and be rewarded for it, because that's what we're doing right now.

There have been some crazy twists and adventures so far, with more to come. For more info, please email my username minus the _h at titanurban.com

Ha... nooow they do it. I purchased Sketch version 2 for 50 euros when I lived in France. Then I moved to the US and got a new computer - at the same time version 3 came out. There was no way for me to get version 2 back: I tried the old "just re-purchase it and it'll end up costing you $0" (which worked for a bunch of other apps - but they were still on the same version). Instead I payed another $70 for version 3. I wrote to Apple and got my money back... but now I'm stuck with a dodgy version of 3 (that I'm supposed to delete and can't get updates for) and no way to get 2 back. Do I actually own version 2? I don't know!
> Pidstat is a little like top’s per-process summary, but prints a rolling summary instead of clearing the screen. This can be useful for watching patterns over time, and also recording what you saw (copy-n-paste) into a record of your investigation.

top has a batch mode: "top -b" will print all processes periodically to the terminal, without starting the curses-style UI, providing the same "rolling summary".
I agree, that statement is pretty demonstrably false. Even Tor hidden services have weaknesses as we've seen recently.

At least with anything concerning privacy and security, radical honesty is the best approach. Most people realize nothing online has perfect security or anonymity, you just need to make the case that you have better security and anonymity than competitors in the space. Lots of companies (particularly SaaS providers) make grand claims about their impenetrable security, but only foolish people believe that nonsense.

> I guess Apple didn't communicate enough with the developers that they'll start using SHA2.

Understatement of the year right there. Apple didn't communicate this at all. The first time anybody outside of Apple found out about this was when apps started failing to launch.

If Apple had merely told developers a month ahead of time, "Hey, we're switching to SHA-2 certificates, make sure your receipt validation code handles it," this whole thing could have been avoided.

In a crazy hypothetical world where Apple's app store team actually gives a shit about third party developers, they could have even tested SHA-2 certificates against the apps in the store, and directly contacted affected developers to tell them to get stuff fixed.
A friend once mourned that she got too many spam mails. I recommended her a throwaway e-mail service via a private Facebook message. FB blocked my message telling me that I can not send it as it includes a dangerous link.

I made a screenshot of this response and wanted to share that instead. The funny thing is that in the screenshot, FBs red comment re: the dangerous link was so blurry that you could not read it. I guess this was probably due to a compression algorithm they apply on pictures but it is funny that the rest of the message was easily readable in the screenshot.
A hardware guru I know practically specialized in this where they were constantly obfuscating products and R.E.'ing 3rd party stuff they needed to make sure it worked right.

Hence, his obfuscations.

The current version of WhatsApp is clearly trying to make it difficult to leave the ecosystem. You can see that when you want to copy text in Android. If you copy it you can only send it to other WhatsApp users. In order to copy it somewhere else you need to use the share feature. In Telegram and others you can copy paste easily into other apps.
>This is something that a white heterosexual middle-class male (such as myself) can probably never fully appreciate

Why not? What exactly is "white" anyway? The reality is, you can come up horrible historic circumstances for pretty much any human division. Sure, some have had it worse than others, but where do you draw the line? I have Irish ancestors; they weren't exactly well treated.

>Imagine what it is like to be a woman on a college campus where statistically 1 in 3 suffer sexual assault over the course of a 4 year education

You have to really stretch the definition of "sexual assault" to arrive at that metric.

If people actually consider a University campus "unsafe", then the world at large is going to feel unsafe. What is the plan to deal with that?

> Marx said that the fundamental driver of human history was the conflict between classes. Darwin believed it was the evolutionary struggle for survival. Others have claimed that the most important force for change is the clash of civilisations, the rise of political ideologies and religious movements, or advances in technology. A growing number of thinkers, however, are starting to recognise that empathy is an essential missing ingredient in these traditional narratives.

This is misstated; students of evolution believe that it is precisely the evolutionary struggle for survival that underlies all else--namely the clash of civilizations, rise of political ideologies, advances in technology, etc., AND empathy.
I dread ever having to run the Mac App Store to get an upgrade. (Luckily, I only have to do it for Xcode and OS X.)

It asks for my password literally every 15-20 seconds. Once I tell it to upgrade everything, it selects only one upgrade, and keeps telling me there are upgrades. While the upgrades are going, it keeps asking me for my password.

At that point I go off and watch TV. When I come back, it's actually downloaded all of the upgrades, and there's a message about how there are more. After I've entered my password a few more times, it tells me I'm up to date.

Then it asks me whether I'd like to upgrade.

I guess once their work experience students get bored working on Xcode they put them on this instead.
"The primary objective of the Church and the Christian faith is your confession" - Yes, that seems a bit extreme. (Though I'm Catholic, not "Evangelical" in the sense you mean). Offending people is ok, but I hope the _goal_ isn't to make people feel guilty. :)
I haven't seen any denouncing of Facebook in a long time, even though they keep getting worse every month. I assume it is because people accepted they are assholes, they won, they can't be replaced and that's that.

And personally I consider the backlash against Pocket to be either undeserved kneejerk reactions, or a discreditation strategy sponsored by Mozilla's competition. Because seriously, why aren't we seeing the same backlash against Chrome, which includes proprietary bits not present in Chromium (like the PDF viewer) and that explicitly does not support extensions on Android because of Google's fear of losing ad revenue? Or maybe we should talk about how Chrome does not encrypt data by default, most users giving access to Google for their whole browsing history. We could talk about IExplorer^WEdge or Safari and how Apple and Microsoft are blocking alternative browser engines on their mobiles, but that's not as fun as bashing the only open browser that's backed by a non-profit without ulterior motives.

But then lives without our double standards would be boring.

I had completely opposite experience in Aalto uni. Practically 18 year old kids coming fresh from high school. I was participating as student to decide on teaching practices.

I suggested that deadlines would be systematically in the afternoon. Maybe 17:00. Some teachers had had problems when not assigning clear time, plain date means significant percentage of students turn in their assignments in the following day. But currently the time is often 8:00 in the morning. Which encourages some portion of the students to stay awake all night writing that assignment. Which reflects to all other studies they have that week.
