Posting my comment I made about this game three years ago:

The UI in Dwarf Fortress is completely indefensible. Even when you do understand how to play the game it's a kludge. Let alone the fact that AN ASCII GAME CAN BRING AN 8 CORE DESKTOP TO A CRAWL. (The ASCII is actually rendered in OPENGL for performance which is a joke in and of itself because 99% of the system resources are spent poorly simulating stagnant blocks of air rock and dirt with nothing happening to them).
There are many amazing and laudable aspects to DF. Tarn has a physics background and in this regard the game is well thought out. It has unmatched emergent gameplay and behavior due to the physics and complexity of each dwarf.
What isn't well thought out at all are both the 'design' of the software and interface. This is the most beautifully complex game with endless unique and hilarious morsels of awesome (the naming of geographic features and depictions engraved on items) Yet absolutely no effort is spent on conveying that to the user. It's like the game itself is autistic in its savant level complexity and all that beauty is hidden behind an utterly unusable interface and horribly inefficient software design.
Dwarf Fortress is a perverse decent into a single brilliant yet mal adjusted person's 'ideal' game. It's wildly capable and meticulously tended to in all the wrong areas while the glaringly obvious flaws go unattended.
It's like a brilliant mathematician who shits on the floor and writes earth-shattering proofs on discarded fast food bags leaving them strewn about homeless shelters. The hobos (DF fans) all rightfully commend his genius and defend the antisocial idiosyncratic behavior as "part of the creative process" or that anything else would detract from 'the experience' of reading a revolutionary proof off of a shit stained McDonalds bag.
The main problem is Tarn's inability to work with anyone else or compromise. The poor quality interface and software design is a perfect metaphor for the developer behind it. The smallest improvement such as rendering more ASCII layers at once from an isometric perspective would vastly improve the usability and likely expand the userbase by 10 fold yet no effort is made to make ANY UI adjustments.
Minecraft is the perfect example of the level of success DF is capable of. Their premise is quite similar, but where Notch's effort went into a simplistic usable UI with simple physics, Tarn went without a UI and devoted his effort to a bewilderingly complex and amazingly inefficent engine with no reasonable way for anyone to experience it. Tarn could be a multi millionare if he simply would take some damn advice about sofware and UI design.
Seriously, With two more people helping him, one person focused on optimizing the codebase and another focused on improving the UI this would literally be one of the greatest games of all time.
Until that day DF will remain an obscure oddity, like a model train set with a revolutionary efficient engine whose owner steadfastly refuses anyone to use it in anything except a toy which actually causes physical pain to all who attempt to play with it.

I've made repairs and upgrades to a five year old MacBook as well. However, I eventually replaced it primarily for reasons of weight and battery life. I've also repaired an old iPod although I honestly didn't have a lot of use for it after I repaired it because I had newer iPhones.

Certainly compared to clothing electronics do tend to become obsolete but it obviously depends a lot on the electronics and what they're being used for.
Correlations with race are highly suspect as well as self-reinforcing. I believe they should be abandoned because the damage they cause (by perpetuating a problem) may be greater than any possible benefit they provide.
In that case he'd better pray the stock doesn't tank.

Not money, shares.

Any public letters are carefully crafted pieces of PR, intention notwithstanding. The criticism probably stemmed from that angle.
Someone whose very job demands a high standard of integrity, acting in this fashion... This is what a horrible human is.

Michael Magrino, cited in that article many times, seems to be the person behind http://mandmprivateeye.com/ so perhaps he's already moved on from straight-up police work to private investigations.
Right now I am working on a talk around this area and an idea came to my mind that I think is worth a discussion here on HN.

In today's front-end technologies with webpack and webcomponents why wouldn't you compose application that call different services and compose the UI based on these services.

For example, you have a login/welcome component that will call the auth service and will check if the user is logged in or not and show the appropriate message or login screen. If the Auth service is down you can simply show a message.

This way, each component is aware of the service it has to use and you can package it into the application deployment process.

It's worth a thought that if you already have micro-services you should also break your application apart and not have a monolithic front-end.

I am not an Android/iOS guy so I'm not sure if this is even viable there but these days, I'm pretty sure we'll start seeing front-ends that are composed around small single-responsibility services.

One of the biggest advantages of that is that components and services are independent, you can split the work between teams and the application deployment will join everything together.

Java(well, Sun's Hotspot) is most definitely compiled, but mostly by the JIT at runtime. The interpreter only runs for the the first warmup, usually 10,000 method calls and the JIT kicks in and translates the method to machine code. The tricky part is it's not simple to control exactly how and when it does its job, although it usually works very well.
Except in child case you don't doubt their sincerity.
In this case I have doubts was this written by parents or by PR department.

This is how netflix approached api gateways. http://techblog.netflix.com/2012/07/embracing-differences-in...

However, this approach is a giant pain in the ass and technologies like Falcor (netflix cannabilizing its own pattern) and (my preference) GraphQL will come to replace.

With a generic client side query language, you don't need to deal with versioning APIs, lots of concurrent development, overhead of deploying a new API for each client, the list goes on. GraphQL in front of a set of services is how we're approaching our next project and it's working really well so far.
OK, let's see those "dwindling features" of the last couple years

you have:

Workers for Android, Support Android x86, Support for iOS x64, Workers for iOS, Support iOS 9, Mac OS X 64bit

and soon (in beta): Windows 64bit, Support for Android TV

It's simple, every quarter since 2011, Adobe release a planed Flash player and AIR version update.

here the list: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/articles/flashplayer-air-feature...

and they don't even include everything (for ex: AIR v19 added support for iOS workers)

you can see more details in the release notes: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/flash-player-releasenot...

if you read the v19 release notes
https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/release-note/fp_19_air_...

just scroll down to the part that list "Released Versions" that's 15 runtimes and 4 SDK.

So "dwindling" you say ? nope, not even close to it, quite the opposite in fact.
Nod Labs - https://nod.com - Mountain View CA - Full Time, possible remote work.

We believe our motion and tracking technology will fundamentally change how we interact with computers and our environment. We are enabling tracking on mobile devices.

Yourself: Self starter and mostly importantly a finisher - pick something up and deliver without supervision. You will be a manager with a team size of one - you. You will need to pick the next problem on the way to achieve our goals and solve it. You could be working on our custom OS twiddling GPIOs or you could be hacking on the backend or polishing off our iOS app. You will need to hold a lot of complexity in your head and have solid CS fundamentals. For what we do, Google may not have all the answers to your questions, github may not have any such sample code and Stackoverflow may have a vaguely related question with no replies, but you will be responsible for solving the problem.

We are currently looking for

a) Computer Vision Engineers: Ideally a PhD in CV or robotics. Just using thirdparty libraries (such as opencv) will not get you a job at Nod. You need to understand and possibly develop your own algorithms and optimize it.

b) Game developer with Unity/Unreal experience. Will require working in NDK/C++ land on Android.

Team: ex-(Apple, Blackberry, Facebook, Google, Lab126, NASA, Samsung). Approximately 1/3rd of the team are PhDs (or PhDs on “pause”) in various fields (Math, Physics, CS) from MIT, Stanford, CMU etc.

The marginal value of money is small. If I had ten times as much money as I have now, I would stop working and travel a lot more. If then my wealth magically multiplies by another factor of ten, basically nothing would change.
That's literally happening at Patagonia and has been for more than twenty years.

It's worth reading Yvonne's book [1]. In it, he talks about Patagonia clothes becoming fashionable in the 80's which led to a spike in demand, then a trough when fashion shifted and layoffs which deeply hurt him and the company. The reaction was to focus severely on attracting customers that were using the products for utility and to discourage others from purchasing. Wonder why you can't buy everything Patagonia makes in black, like you can for anything North Face? This is why. Wondering why effectively everything they make with a hood has an oversized hood that fits a helmet instead of being geared to bay geeks that have to walk two blocks from their Uber in the rain? This is why.

Wow, addressing climate change and unsustainable resource consumption are absent from the list and "protecting the environment" is once mentioned in passing.
I am a huge Nexus 5 fan, I own one, but it is not cheap or easy to repair.

Also, the Nexus 5X is out, almost identical, but based on the LG G4 instead of the G2, and has a small handful of niftier features, including better battery life.
Wouldn't some of what this article describes happen simply because of specialization?

As the knowledge in a field broadens, no one person, less so a person outside the field, can read and keep up with the publications. Therefore a single field can have 40 journals. And, some topics really are complex enough that they cannot be explained in an "easy-to-read" format because they require an enormous amount of context.
Just hit ctrl-a.
No need to kid. Self-described "FP" languages are a pain in the ass for the type of programming scientists do. I don't even know what kind of programming those languages aren't a pain in the ass for.
TechCrunch had (still does? I don't know) considerable influence over early startups, so I'm not particularly surprised. The article itself is complete bollocks, which is also not particularly surprising.
It also depends on the field. Most of the papers I read are in type theory, and there are a lot of type theory publications because that’s where a lot of theoretical CS work is being done. But the vast majority of those publications aren’t relevant to my interests or my work, so I can get away with a pretty short reading list. Whereas in, say, linguistics, I’m interested in pretty much everything, so I have no hope of keeping up.
I appreciate companies making repairable products, providing repair manuals and avoiding proprietary screws etc. but I think it's overly simplistic to say repair is the default right choice.

It makes sense to strive for efficiency. In some cases repair is the most efficient choice but in others it is not. There are always tradeoffs and sometimes durability and repairability are over-engineering for a particular use case. Individuals are not necessarily well placed to determine the most efficient choices directly. Prices act as a mechanism to incorporate information on efficiency of resource use and cheap disposable items are cheap in part because they take fewer resources to manufacture and transport. If they are sufficiently durable for their intended use then they may well be the efficient choice.
In that case I stand corrected and obviously got my facts very wrong. I appreciate you clarifying this matter!
I don't think I understand your argument?
That's funny, because every time I use an MUA other than mutt I'm frustrated by how janky it feels to process email with a mouse. :)

The little-used commands can be found by pressing "?" in any mode. You get a nice list including any custom macros you've set up (I don't use many, but a few are essential). It's far simpler than clicking all over menus and dropdowns and hovering inscrutable icons...
Great! I can't wait to see the pieces of this puzzle that turn out to be much harder than they first appear, and the pieces that turn out to be much easier.

No matter the final outcome, we'll learn tons, which is a win.

Possibly. But this is a bad sign for Marissa Mayer, if the board is acting out-of-order like this her days are probably numbered, it's a sign of pretty strong dissent. Someone (or multiple someone's) is trying to force her hand.

I want to add an anecdote to inject some reality into this discussion. I bought a wetsuit from Patagonia in 2009 (I think). They were super new to the wetsuit industry and I paid 300+$ during their "half price" sale. Full price was ~600$ and 300 was the price for the top of the line "money is no object" wetsuit.

For someone who surfs a lot (me) wetsuits traditionally last about three years/seasons. Last year my patagonia wetsuit was showing it's age and I brought it to the store. They sent it to their repair shop and the repair folks re-taped every seam, put new knee patches in and installed a new car-key-loop (original suit lacked one) free of charge.

The neoprene is starting to break down and the suit isn't as warm as it used to be. I anticipate I'll get this season out of it and maybe 1-2 more.

The company is fanatical about the quality of the products they produce and even more fanatical about their support/repair for those products.

Not really, sometimes you want to inspect the value that is to be returned before it is. So it makes sense to use the multi-line statements above, as otherwise everyone will change it each time.

It will also allow you to put a breakpoint on the return statement and have it print the value out or for it to be used in other debugging.

This is especially useful when the function call is used within a more complicated formula.
The other things, yes, but 30% cut isn't a real problem. Have some perspective. You used to pay a lot more than that for packaging and distribution as a software developer, when software was still physical goods. (Yes, shareware, sure, but the number of developers who made a living out of shareware was extremely small.)
