The article is about desktop gaming. The reason epic is upset is that Microsoft is making new APIs UWP-exclusive, although I had to read more things to learn that, They feel that Microsoft is pulling the rug out from under them. The reason they are not upset about anything Apple is doing is that Apple does not restrict APIs to its Mac OS X App Store. They really do not care about iOS because it was locked down from the beginning (as were mobile devices in general), so there is no rug to pull out from under them.

Windows has always been a mediocre platform. I was really happy when I got off it because I no longer had to deal with reboots for updates, disk fragmentation, viruses/malware, micro-managing software updates, yearly reinstalls to get cruft off the system, everything I install thinking it is so important it should autostart (which is really a problem of being able to execute code during the installation process), etcetera. Prople who suffer from Stockholm syndrome over the abuse they have from running Windows think such things are a normal part of having a computer, but they are not. Sane platforms do not have such problems and Windows is just not a sane platform.

As for "I have historical reasons to hate Microsoft and not Apple", it is the opposite. By the time that I obtained my first computer (running Windows), Apple's colorful iMacs looked like children's toys and before that time, I had been traumatized by parents who tried to pass off children's toys as computers. Apple's ridiculous hardware designs combined with my experience of my parents' outright lies lead me to believe that Apple was trying to replace actual computers with inferior substitutes that looked pretty. Until Mac OS X, that was not far from the truth, but I did not know that at the time and developed a deep seated hatred of them. Things slowly changed over the years as I began to see the technical merit in what Apple had done, first with iOS after I found Android to be s terrible OS design and then with Mac OS X fr it being a POSIX system like Linux and being Darwin like iOS. That being said, hatred just is not a healthy thing and any dislike I have for any vendor's software is not worth harming my health by doing something as silly as hating them. I already went down that path once with Apple for irrational reasons. There really is no reason for me to go down that path again.

As for iOS, you are trying to get a discussion over iOS from the wrong person. The right person should be yourself, but if you cannot see what is wrong with the other options on the market, then there probably is no one who can explain it to you. iOS design is great (e.g. no garbage collection outside JavaScript, no annoying app drawer, no noticeable UI lag that gives me headaches, consistent UI design, etcetera). It is an excellent stand-in for WebOS until the day that I get a sane Linux distribution (i.e. proper package management, no Java, X Windows, etcetera) running on smartphone hardware that I like. Given that I have my hands full with non-mobile platforms (laptops excluded), that will probably be a very long time.
I believe it's the latter: you already have the list of creators that joined.
I agree with you. The sad truth is that many people only follow the rules as long as they live in fear of punishment. Now, I know that this is obviously a very big brush I use here to paint a picture but just as an example see how long it took for the looting to begin after hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Now, was all looting unethical? Not in my opinion, but that's a different point and a discussion for another time.
That's too simplistic a picture. AirBNB directly facilitates, receives payment and so on, so they are not the same as a 'marketing organization' or merely a listing company.

I was shoe shopping this week and my choice essentially came down to 2 pairs of shoes for £45 or one pair for £90.

I bought the one pair.

To say that anyone needs to sweatshop or they'll go bust is a wild mischaracterisation of reality. The few pence difference it would make to the price is something consumers wouldn't even notice. The entire process is driven by corporate greed hidden behind closed doors, not commercial sense.
It all falls down though as soon as you have any significant priority in your life other than work however. Just a partner who works elsewhere will put you in a quandry, and a family will totally do you over (schools immediately elevate to trump just about any other priority).

I think there's a lot to be said for living close to work, but there's even more to be said for cities investing well provisioned, fast and inexpensive public transport. The intangible benefits from a happier, more flexible, mobile workforce are huge. Where I live I am extremely fortunate: I am 45 minutes away from work by train, but 95% of the time I can sit down and work on my laptop for 80% of that time. So I see my "effective" commute as about 15 minutes.
Better enforcement costs money. Who is going to pay for it? These neighborhoods didn't have such serious problems before so it seems unreasonable that they have to pay for more enforcement just to maintain their quality of life.
I'd be curious to know how many people would need to use such a service for the ad maker to make the same amount of money. Basically, what I'm wondering is if it would be similar to Wikipedia where a very few percentage of people need to contribute for the system to work out?

So what's happening when I purchase something at a restaurant that accepts bitcoins? It usually takes only a 10-15 seconds for them to accept my transaction. I realize that a confirmation on the blockchain hasn't occurred, so with some hackery it's possible to double-spend - but, it's never been a problem.
Ditto for me on the South Coast UK: 4 mins walk from my house to the station, catch the 08.14 train, arrive at destination 08.37, then 10-15 mins walk to the office depending on whether I pop into a shop on the way.

I listen to the news on a radio and catch up with overnight emails from global colleagues on my Galaxy Note phone.

I think he is saying that his parents' are responding with "Who do you want to reach" when prompted with "Who is this?". If you call a home phone and someone responds with "Hello" then it can be quite difficult to guess who you reached.

Also, it's probably more "Hi, this is Mr XXX, who am I talking to?".
It is partially learned, partially a built-up tolerance.

"Innovation" that harms society (such as anything dependent on advertising) isn't actually innovation we want. I'm very aware of all the supposed "innovation" that is largely greed cargo culting other successful businesses, or simply a scam.

I'm perfectly fine with all of this pathological "innovation" finally going away.
In what way? Versioning helps pin shared libraries so they are not inadvertently updated. However, when you have 2 services A and B using the same library, changes to the library, if they are not updated in both services, may lead to the services being unable to talk to one another. e.g.
Suppose service A and B use library L. But the authors of library L decided to rename a certain field in the JSON of HTTP calls that are crafted by the library. Now, unless both A and B update to the new version, they may not be able to talk to one another, so each has to coordinate their efforts to either hold off using the new version, or deploy the new version at the same time.
Can I just vent for a second about how an early bus is so much worse than a late bus… and they have complete control over it too. A late bus will eventually show up. An early bus, well, you have no idea it was even early.
I believe it happens, but do you have any sourcing for how often it happens that cancer patients in hospices are denied opiates?

In England opiates used to be under-prescribed for this kind of end of life care. National guidelines were changed to make it easier for doctors to prescribe strong pain relief. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-18169840

(But note: "The NICE guidance is not specifically about end-of-life care but rather patients living day-to-day with chronic pain" generally trying other things before opiates is a good idea for people with long term pain. Exercise and diet and pain clinics are useful.)

And, in this situation: Shouldn't the main focus be on changing hospice care to provide adequate pain relief, rather than changing the law to allow people in pain to be killed by doctors?

(Again, I'm in favour of changing the law to allow assisted death)
An important part of a treatment is patient compliance. Even if a treatment is 100% effective, if the patient can't or won't comply then it is useless. A 100% Plant based diet would be difficult for most people. Also it would take quite a bit of time for the diet to be effective. A stent is an immediate solution.
I have a similar commute -- 30 minutes each way, in south central Wisconsin. I'm equipped specifically for my commute: For warm weather I ride a venerable old touring-style bike, and carry rain gear in a bag. For winter, I have an old mountain bike with studded tires. There's a lot of athletic clothing available for winter riding, but I just wear a ski jacket and snow pants. If it gets real cold, like below -10F, then I wear a ski helmet and goggles. I'm lucky that I don't sweat a lot. During the summer, I just start from home earlier than usual, and ride slower, so I don't have to take a shower when I arrive. Some kind of layer system can be helpful, because there are months where the temperature changes by 30 degrees from morning to afternoon.

Granted it takes some space to have more than one bike, but I have a garage. On the other hand, some folks just keep a second pair of wheels with the studded tires. When buying a bike for commuting, it's good to make sure that there's enough clearance for fenders and wider tires if desired.

What Makes a Startup Thrive? 100 Lessons Learned the Hard Way

You use a mobile phone, another line, or walk to the bank. Other than that one must ask himself, what type of crime? Why does my bank's website show none of it? Is it related to any of my cards missing? Why is the bank contacting me and not the card issuer (VISA, etc)?

I must guess this kind of primitive social engineering can work around 1 out of 100 cases and still be practical. As far as I've seen though the real treat is phishing. Really easy to set up and for most people it works.

Just the other day I was playing around an unprotected server of a phisher that had just sent me an email and there was plenty of people that had fallen for their trick. It could be seen on a text file were they were lousily saving all these details. Scary stuff.

Two factor authentication and even one-time cards (some banks issue this) can protect from this; but as always people that worry about security are already secure. It's the unaware that will fall for the trick.
Until services like this make their list of participating sites available, they strike me as amounting to a scam (regardless of how noble their intentions).

If they have no partners, they still collect money, but have no one to give it to at the end of the month, so they'll have to keep it.

I also have no desire for the entire subscription to go to a website I visit one time in a month because they're the only one participating. This is not necessarily a deal breaker, but I can't even make an informed decision without a list of participating sites.
Maybe you don't need 100% approval (lord knows that would introduce some sort of black market "payoff" system). But frankly, is someone is that disenchanted with your having an Airbnb, that's their right -- if I bought a home in a neighborhood, not next to a hotel.

That said, I also think as a good neighbor, you could lobby your position to such a neighbor. The biggest problem with these cases is no one ever talks to each other.
The best security: be honest and place complete trust in those you employ. Hire people you trust. If there is nothing that is blocking you, then morale is higher, and people get more focused on what is important. If there is nothing to break into, there is less temptation. Your employees won't be perfect, but if they are trusted, if you let things be, there's a good chance everything will be fine- at least as fine as it would have otherwise.
In my opinion the goal should be the well-being of society and consumption should be just a mean to achieve it. After some level, consumption doesn't seem to correlate with well-being, becoming just a waste of resources that could be allocated more efficiently having in mind this optimization towards the well-being of society.

The problem, IMHO, happens when we don't 'fuel' the capitalistic 'society engine' with more and more consumption, strange things seem to happen: the 'engine' stiffs.

25k is the minimum starting salary for a fresh graduate civil servant in the UK. Its often higher.

Very few programmers start at that level.
Git commit and push takes a minute or two tops I fail to see how that is less efficient than clicking save in a WYIWYG editor. The setup time between the two options is probably very similar.
I moved around in the company, trying to find someplace that was different (e.g. more like a software company) - and I finally did, about 4.5 years ago. The department was outside of the official IT department, because we are vital to the business and have legal reasons to need to move much faster. It was good for a couple of years, but recently, the area I'm in has been getting more like the IT department I left (they are pushing me and other leads to start taking on more "leadership" responsibilities - meaning management type crap, not lead developer) - so I think it's time to move on.

And I should mention that I've looked for other jobs in the area (trying to stay local because of family) - and almost no one pays as good as where I'm at. I'm making a bit above average according to Glassdoor (for my location).
lower quality of people in general plays a role.

Something like that for me, yes. 30 min cycling + 20 mins for showering, changing clothes. OTOH I save time from having to go somewhere and exercise, showering etc. after work just to stay in basic shape.
Pensions yes. But most 401(k) plans only offer mutual funds as investment options, and those in turn mostly only invest in publicly traded securities ( not VC funds). A few public companies have captive VC arms but those are pretty limited.

Of course, there is also the possibility that the actual market value of a lot off "content" is zero. In those cases, deriving your revenue from advertising distorts the market.
What you say is very true. Maybe I should have said "intermediate" tutorials. Even though the problem area is so deep and complex there have been astonishing engines produced by very small teams, such as:

* http://procworld.blogspot.com/ which is a voxel-based rendering engine mostly developed by one person

* http://the-witness.net/ which is a game with a custom engine developed by a small team and features many realistic effects
Funny, stories like this to me always read as someone hacking themselves for job security; clearly not the case. Curious who the target was Cloudflare, or their clients.
> " In most cases, people have never had to pay the full cost of producing the content they consume"

That's debatable. It's worth remembering that before the Internet, many traditional forms of media had multiple income streams, of which advertising was only one. Would it have been possible to produce TV and radio content based on a subscription-only model? Seemed to have worked out fine for the BBC. Newspapers and magazines would have taken a hit, but if revenue was based on sales alone then it's certainly possible some of those institutions could have survived on this.

In other words, it's not a case of working with zero money it's a case of working with less money.

The judge may dislike such a situation and compensate for it by trying to teach the children the law. He mentioned it's inefficient, perhaps in the context of an argument that it would be cheaper to pay for the children's legal representative than waste all that time teaching them the law.

Just another spin on a quote out of context.
Show HN: Sussudio – An alias for sudo
The apparent size of an object changing with distance is not just some random thing that you can change... it's a consequence of geometry. The eye or camera is a point, but the projection plane is a plane, so a ray from the camera through two adjacent points on the plane will keep diverging on the other side of the projection plane, and hit objects that are further and further apart. Another way to think of it is that there's just more stuff far away than close, so all that far away stuff has to look smaller to fit.

If you want to change that, you can't have a camera that is a point. That's how parallel projection works; the camera is basically a plane of the same size as the picture plane, so the rays never diverge. What you're suggesting is basically that the camera would be larger than the projection plane. That would cause the rays to converge in a single point some distance away from the camera. You might then just as well think of that point as the camera, and do what pnp wrote, just reverse the z buffer.
