Ah, ok, so there is a term for it!

It's also something that's been much remarked-upon by various minority groups. I've heard a lot of African-American comedians, friends, and commentators mention how they have feel the need "act white" when they're not around other black people. You hear the exact same thing from LGBT folks as well - they often choose to "act straight" by default in a lot of environments.

I've seen this a lot firsthand myself. It's also a good reminder that having the option to code switch is a real privilege. For some people it's not a coping skill, it's a literal survival tactic.
I agree, especially if you are just making one game, there really is no point to procedural generation - other tools will make all that much easier (Maya, Blender, etc). I'm trying to think outside the context of just making one game, but rather making something that people can broadly use that it is simpler than Maya and Blender, and even disguised as a game to lure people to it. This could be a foolish move - the odds are already against me making a game, let alone a platform/engine. But I feel like somebody has to shake things up a bit, we are getting too comfortable with our AAA Unreal games. :)
Why the hell would I use Node.js?
The distribution gets far more reasonable after most of the initial bunch of people who can't follow simple directions all drop after that first assignment.

I always make sure that my first assignment is due before the drop deadline. I don't make that first assignment worth a lot of points, but it sets the tone for the rest of the class--"If you can't do this, you're in for a rough time in my class." Anyone who stays even if they bomb that first assignment knows what they are getting into.
Somehow I find this API counter-intuitive and painful to use.

- Why currentFloor() is a function not a property?

- Why both goingUpIndicator() and goingDownIndicator() instead of .direction property?

- Why name destinationDirection() instead of
currentDirection?

- Why only floor_button_pressed but no in-door button press event?

I gave up.

Low sales means last years model is still performing pretty well. In fact, the model from two years ago is still doing just fine.

Here is a post from two years ago where we discussed this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6606056
We've been using the beta for about 6 months and find it to be incredibly reliable. Thanks Stripe people.
No. Plaid tokens live for an extended period of time and can be used for multiple balance verifications.
Maybe because people have other things to do with their day?

There are lots of things I could contribute to or fix. I pick the things I care about. The same is true for anyone that actually wants to improve things.

Lack of focus is the surest way to frustration and ineffectiveness.
Yeah, it doesn't use strict rules, or rules at all, that's the cool thing. It looks for sections of text that don't "sound right." This is where the deep learning comes in. It learns over sequences of vectors, where the vectors represent the words in the sentence.
This is not unexpected, so many people who own a PC don't need a personal "computer" they just need a system to deploy pre-built network applications to. And while it is "weird" to see that be true, it also reflects the shift in media consumption and communications.

Of course some of us (like me) still want development systems, what were once distinguished by being called "workstations" which separated them from "PCs" by their use in professional code development. I expect that as the market shrinks the percentage of Linux installs as a fraction of the overall market will rise. I'm curious to see how it effects pricing. Once it drops below 100M/year in shipments the ability for the smaller makers to draft on the big orders made by the larger makers will go away and their prices will have to come up, I can't see that they have any margin left to give up.
Vim-airline call for maintainer(s)
I find the achievement and persistence of Gaven absolutely astounding. You have my utmost respect and I wish you good luck and success with the project. I always love to see the updates on progress. If there were a game to buy I'd just buy it as a hat tip to show the respect.
Sorry but this statement and this ideology is flawed. The user isn't right, the user only is good at what they know. Apple or even Ford have proved that when asked, the user wants a faster horse, cause they don't understand the concept of a car. This is the fault of the user not realizing the potential, maybe because of their lack of imagination, or intellect. Or competitors are marketing to id appeals. Users don't think, but they should.

Hypothetical Example: dating site users want an ltr with a 6, but are often seduced by the potential for a one night stand with an 8. Users have chosen 8 but the moral ethical and socally acceptable choice is the 6 with the potential for an ltr. The user is wrong but they hooked up and are happy... Is a site that caters to ltr6's wrong?

However, too often products have massive flaws that designers should have predicted.
Is there really that much celebrity status thumping for programmers in SF? Maybe in particular circles, but I want to believe that SF has more diversity in tech than that.
I found the recommendations a nice checklist to work through. They may not be complete or the best. But they are a start.
Did you write your Twitter posts before, or after, this comment? :)

You say this so succinctly there. I used to think it was all about the resume. It's actually one of the least effective ways to apply for work.

One other thing to consider doing... offer to work for free (or reduced pay, where laws prohibit free work) for a short period of time. It lets them see what you can do, and removes much of the risk.

Heavens, no. That would be gambling. This is insurance. Entirely different.
I talked with a Chinese person who told me why. His explanation:

Falun Gong exercises (Tai-Chi like) improved the health of their practicioners. The communist party supported Falun Gong practice because it lowered their healthcare costs.

Until there were more members of Falun Gong than Communist party officials. So the latter began hunting the former.

Some Chinese fled China, and that's how the West know about Falun Gong.

Very sad state of affairs.

Heck, I write e-mails based on the assumption that people don't read them. It is sadly quite common for people whose sole job it is to read and reply to my e-mails (e.g. customer support) to read only the first few words of the first few paragraphs, generally stopping after the first noun and verb in each.

I find that those are the same people who tend to write content-free walls of text. No wonder they only read the upper-left-hand corner of e-mails, that's the only part of what they write that's worth reading.
Nothing too groundbreaking in this release. Please just continue to work on crypto and security!
Same here. I have a Nehalem 2.8GHz, overclocked (press-button overclocking on the motherboard, I don't have time to mess around with that anymore), and it is perfectly fine for everyday work. The only reasons I'm considering upgrading are video games and to be able to go to 64GB of RAM (and that's only because I want to throw a lot of virtual machines at my problems).
The problem there is that young parents now like rap, too. People that were kids when It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back or Run-DMC's first album have families now.

So nothing's safe.
What? How does the parents comment, which suggested that corporations should consider moral implementations along side the economic ones when making decisions, lead to racial segregation?
I second this. I study new programming languages in my free time and install-friction (or whatever its called, if it has a name) is a major factor in whether or not I bother further with the language. A language that comes with its own IDE and textbook is a dream. Haskell is fun, and it did indeed change the way I thought about programs (it was my first functional language), but once you leave something like Learn You a Haskell, it gets hairy fast, and the wiki isn't the best resource.

I wouldn't suggest the dragon book until you can put forth all the effort it takes. And as far as that goes, theres a lot of other, some would say better, resources available: http://prog21.dadgum.com/30.html
Falun was banned by mainland China simply because it's a Taiwan backed cult organization to gather intel & support coup in government seniors and military. The rest is media propaganda.
Glitch pivoted into Slack. :)
The majority of companies still have code bases with a ton of Objective-c code. The company I am currently working at has an approximately 30% Swift code and we have been writing Swift since 2.0 went live.

The reality is if you can't be proficient with Objective-c no one will hire you at this point. The more time passes, the more Objective-c code will become legacy, and the less important this will be.

That being said definitely start with Swift. It is an excellent language and is the future of the iOS platform.
We're going to have to get the ball rolling somehow, when it comes to space fashion.

When some of us get re-orged to that remote mining outpost and are forced to share quarters with some cheap, rubbery-skinned, impolite replicants, we're just going to have to make do, and don some superfluous equipment from sporting goods.
Yep I know about Magic Carpet - its one of those games (along with Outcast, Commanche, etc) that drew me to alternative engines over polygon-based ones. Initial ideas for a prototype did revolve around base building, mini RTS / tower defense style stuff.
The user you're replying to was too aggressive in their comment, but you're doing that as well. Please just be nice when commenting here.

Thanks for your support! :)
My daughter played an MMO by Disney called Pixie Hollow. In the game, players were given pets that they needed to play with, keep clean and feed to keep healthy.

About a month after the game closed, she woke up from a nightmare. She dreamed of the pets huddled in the ruins after all the fairies (players) had left them behind. It sounded heartbreaking.
Excited about the block functionality and the new execution strategies! I will definitely try them both out to see if I can optimize my Ansible code even further.
Grammar isn't a set of strict rules.
ClamAV is decent-ish compared to these. It's still written in C so sandbox heavily...
Art can occur when the same person is both the source of the requirements for the program, and the implementor of the program. Much of the art is in the coming up with the specification: that is the concept in the art. The concept can be skillfully rendered into code. Concept + skillful rendering = art.
I'm even finding this with laptops now. I bought a high-end laptop a couple of years ago and it seems that a new one today at the same price wouldn't make a lot of difference to my day-to-day usage.
The Japanese Art of Self-Mummification
I can't claim that having the ability to record your presentation will instantly cure all of the ills common to bad presentations.

Our hypothesis is that if you know what you're saying is captured along with your slides, you'll put less information in the slides. That should remedy the walls of text and bullet points. The same goes for reading the slide - if it's not there, you won't do it.

there's also the problem that it's a bit vague as to who can actually enforce faster payments. The effort is currently led by the FED, but they technically don't have enforcement power, the CFPB could do something but that'd be a bit of a stretch.

Additionally, the large banks are trying to influence the rules and requirements; for example, clearXchange + early warning system merging under a (large) bank consortium
Delta Force and Commanche were among games that drew me to alternative engines. Doing a CPU-based renderer gives you lots of new tricks and abilities, things you can't do with simplified massively parallel architecture like GPUs. Many games have a far view distance now (see Uncharted or Just Cause) - but doing it in a dynamic world that is procedurally generated in realtime with solid geometry is a whole other bag of cats. :)
I usually use an italicized x for math variables, a dot for multiplication when not implicit in the formatting of the expression, and an uppercase X for cross product.
How to Make Your Legacy Modernization a Success
It's funny that the photo-sharing part of the "Game Neverending" MMO became Flickr, and the chat tool they created to communicate while working on Glitch became Slack. It's a double coincidence of side-project success.
Falun Gong is an evil litigious cult created in 1992 as a way to raise money for the founders and cult leaders.

They're unscrupulous, including promising terminally ill cancer patients the possibility of healing if they just redirect their remaining wealth toward the cult.

They're the Chinese equivalent to Scientology, but even worse. Their teachings are racing, homophobic, sexist and misogynistic. They preached that UFOs had arrived on earth; aliens had taken over human bodies, and were trying to annihilate humanity through the control of TV and radio.

I lived in SF for 6 years before moving to LA, and before then was born and raised in Silicon Valley. I have never been to these events, nor have any close friends. Of course, most of my close friends were also born in Silicon Valley - maybe it's a transplant thing?

Glad this is finally coming to light. Every time I would mention it here that Cisco has built backdoors in its routers specifically to aid the Chinese government and later other governments as well, I would get downvoted. Cisco standardized the "lawful intercept" protocol for routers at the IETF, people! What did you think that meant?!

The US government (hopefully after it elects a saner president) and other supposedly democratic countries as well, need to come together and 1) make it clear that you can't sell tools which you know are being used for mass censorship and mass surveillance that then leads to torture or assassinations and whatnot (I know, this definition will need to be cleaned up a bit), and 2) punish the companies that still disobey those rules severely. It's time for the democratic countries to act the way they say they are.
I lived the day to see YC giving credit to PG for an article written by Knuth.

What's next? Symphony No. 9 by Paul Graham? Theory of Relativity by Paul Graham? The Bible? :-)
Yep, a survival type game would be well suited to the engine. It is definitely part of the long term plans. In the long run I would like to have a world with some simple towns and people can move about and raid towns and so forth and quests kind of emerge from those circumstances. Maybe a bit like Mount and Blade, but in a more seamless world.

I agree, fortunately there are convenient pre-packaged Eclipse bundles like Spring Tool Suite [0] that include a curated set of plugins for common development scenarios. This may mean you end up with multiple Eclipse installations but it's easier than trying to maintain dozens and dozens of plugins within a single installation.

> Eclipse and dependencies handling are hard problems. It works if everything is set up perfectly, but Eclipse is super brittle

I agree. If that is the problem, I will happily walk the student through the setup--even at any point in the semester. If a computer craps out, I will help the student recover from the repository--I don't expect them to be able to do that. It does also happen, rarely, that I have to actually help a student set up their computer because they have some weird issue. I do not consider failing at setting up your environment to be a failure of the class. Schedule some time with me and we'll go through it together.

HOWEVER, this is generally not the problem, oddly. They get that set up pretty much fine.

The first problem is: System.out.println("Hello, World!");

I WARN people over and over. I am automated testing this. Computer output must be EXACT. The comma, space, capitalization, and exclamation point ARE NOT OPTIONAL. Debugging is about noticing details, and if you can't match this, you're not going to find the actually subtle bugs later in your own code. Really, this is the only functional line in the program--I'm not joking about this.

The second problem is: "But I didn't know I could check this before the assignment date." Um, I have a website set up for the class--did you check it for the past two weeks that it has been running? I have pointed this page out and put it on screen at both beginning and end of class for the past 4 lectures. The anonymized login ID's have a Red X for a failure and a Green + for success. I also have the intensity modulated properly so that those who are red/green color blind are able to tell as well.

I have just learned that I'm going to have to politely smile at all the excuses and whining after that first assignment and tell people repeatedly that I'm not budging on this. After the first couple of students, the rest get the message.
If you want to play an emulator of TIS-100 in PC, I would recommend this one [1].

It is TIS-100, not TIS-100P. I don't know what difference between those.

The same moral arguments are used to justify discrimination. Businesses today in the US are refusing to provide healthcare to employees (Hobby Lobby), or refusing to serve certain sexual orientations (various wedding services), and they claim it's because they are morally opposed to whatever group they discriminate against. 60 years ago, the same moral rhetoric justified forced racial segregation in the US.

So when we say companies should refuse to serve customers on moral grounds, we have to be sure just which morals we're talking about.
Thanks! THere is a preorder page, but I will be no less honored if you just buy it when the alpha ships (which should be "soon")
“Still Retro”: One Last Visit to Super Potato
Maybe its just me, but I feel that we maybe stretching the limits of Postgres to cover all of the use cases.

When you need a custom extension to cover your use case, maybe you should use a different tool altogether. I have nothing against Postgres though, its a fantastic DB and I use it everyday.

But there are better tools out there in the market which can be used for these sort of data structures.
But think of the upside - so many terrorists were probably caught because this code existed. We must fight to ensure all firewalls have back doors or face a true terrorism threat.
Graphical MMOs that predate it are Habitat (1986), Neverwinter Nights (1991), Meridian 59 (1995), The Realm (1996), and Ultima Online (1997). In 1999 when Asheron's Call and EverQuest came out, games like this became obsolete.

But there are still a few hundred players of Sierra's The Realm, which first came out in 1996.

There are also many community emulators for Ultima Online.

Hear ye! I lost interest in games right around time time 3D graphics cards started coming out. I figured, that scene is pats its prime now; it's going to just be generations of the same thing over again, but rendered slightly better. Programmers no longer in control over the details, just pushing some triangle meshes into some hardware blackbox.

All software Doom, Quake, Wolf 3D, Rise of The Triad and such: that was still cool stuff.

The game programmer should control every pixel going into the frame buffer.
Does that make it right to persecute and torture them?
Foxconn employs nearly a million people. You are going to get quite a few suicides no matter what you do. Their suicide rate is below the China population average.
Typically not so much on the servers. And in nearly all cases a "no third party proprietary code" server requirement is very feasible.
Corporation feels it is more moral to employ white people and give more pay to them. Or that it isn't moral to allow homosexuals into the company.
> Point is "signatures are different".

The signature is fn(&Foo, u8). If that's not in the right order, you can always put it in a closure -- this is not a Rust-specific problem.

> It makes life of web-servers harder.

I don't see why web servers need exceptions. You do have catch_panic if you want to prevent the application from ever crashing; that's what it's for (rewrapping fatal errors at the top level or preventing panics from leaking through FFI)

> To parse JSON with nested objects you need to declare a lot of structures.

Fair enough. I think there was a nested hashmap based JSON library somewhere?
Cool, I love tools like this. Just curious, how do you plan to differentiate yourself from Patreon and Kickstarter? (it is ok if you are just doing their stuff better, there is room for competition)
no, what I'm saying is that contrary to the point I was disagreeing with, Jeff Bezos didn't know anything about bookstores. This is a direct refutation of "live in that world". the fact that you didn't personally succeed in online bookselling actually doesn't mean that to succeed in online bookselling, you first have to understand bookselling. You don't!
Thank you, it means a lot :)

Schlüsseldienst24+Stuttgart+-+Bereitschaftsdienst
Yeah right. Until 1999 it received wide support from Chinese officials, but then decided it was too big and started a silly propaganda campaign feeding the gullible with lies like you just told at the same time when they started a violent persecution.

At least they had learned something from the bloody Tienanmen massacre, and this time instead sending military to murder piles of unarmed civilians carried out the murders a bit more covertly.

But then you have to disable requiretty in /etc/sudoers or some commands will fail. E.g. synchronize.

If you have the freedom to be able to do this then this is great. When I was an academic I was under enormous pressure by the university to never let a student drop out of a course because of the financial consequences. Still had the same problems as you, but I had to figure out a way to get the students through the course. Lots of fun!
Yep we do! We don't support updating assets on Android yet but we will as soon as the necessary platform support is released (should hopefully be in RN 0.19.0)
