I've been playing a lot of CIV 1 lately. Because I happen to have it installed on my travel-laptop in DOSBox. I'm sure I've clocked over 100 hours of CIV1 in the past year.

It would be fun to upgrade to a new CIV and see how it compares. Maybe I'll do that in October. But I might need some laptop-upgrades :)
Snapchat Pitch Competition
I'm actually not sure if the camera in the rearview mirror on the Model S is stereoscopic or not - maybe someone on HN can confirm. I know it's used for reading speed limits and helping with lane keeping, but it can be surprisingly difficult to get accurate distance information to objects from a single lens if that's all it has.
"Atom and VSCode, for instance, have a long way to go to catch up with the real Visual Studio or IntelliJ."

You're right. They need to catch up to using 5.8 GB for Visual Studio and 480MB for IntellJ to start. :)
There have been games that strove to do something like that -- though, usually, based directly on the real world rather than a generated one, and usually with a limited array of real-world country choices, and sometimes with a fantasy twist.

Balance of Power (both the original and 1990 editions; allowed play of the USA or USSR only) and Shadow President (allowed play as the USA only) come to mind; ISTR one that allowed play as a wider variety of real-world nations, but can't place the name.
They did make Beyond Earth, which is more different than Civ than you might expect. That said, I didn't find Beyond Earth to be much fun...
TensorFlow: the good, the bad and the ugly
I don't think whether it's an attack or not has much to do with the factual basis of a private disagreement that they had 4 years ago and how that speaks to patio11's character or the quality of his advice now.

Not that I'm sticking up for Patrick. I frequently find myself in (often silent) disagreement with him, but the post was extremely flimsy to me and not much more than an offsite meta-discussion that contributes neither to the original discussion nor this community. I flagged the link but since it remains I think this is worth discussing.
You and me, friend. Whatever happened to the MS division that published those games?
They'll want to be looking at using MPLS and EPE techniques now that there's support for it on their Arista platforms. This L2 technique is arcane, going to be painful to scale and reapply generally to other areas.
You do not need to have Dutch citizenship, but you do need to be living in The Netherlands for at least four months, and you need to be undergoing prolonged treatment (the Dutch term is "behandelrelatie", a treatment relationship, which means you need to be seeing your doctor regularly).
Even then, you still need to find a doctor willing to perform the procedure. If they suspect a foreigner of "termination tourism", they will likely refuse.

There is a FAQ [1, Dutch only] that answers this:

Can a foreigner, living in The Netherlands, receive euthanasia in The Netherlands?

You can, provided you are currently under treatment from a doctor and there are sufficient reasons to consider your request.

Can a foreigner, living abroad, receive euthanasia in The Netherlands?

No, this is not possible; we advise you to contact one of our sister organisations in your own country to query local options. See [2] for contact information.

This is pretty much as a child learns, you don't put children to do complex things at once, if they wanna learn to write they have to make circles/lines to learn to write letters then words then sentences, they got to repeat what everybody has done already.
Getting back to them is easy. You can do this with 10 virtual desktops, each with 10 windows, and each window with 10 tabs. That allows for 1000 tabs. It's a tree structure, organized by project or other purpose.

Desktops likely map to projects. Windows likely map to web sites. Tabs likely map to web pages within the same site.

A slight variation is that each window represents a Google search, with the first tab being that search. The results get opened in tabs. I often do this, then switch to the other variation by pulling loose a tab that is for a web site with many interesting pages.

The firefox restart dialog, offering to kill individual tabs and/or whole windows as desired, is great. I wish Chromium had it. I wish it were available at all times. I wish it were offered when the browser complains about an unresponsive tab. Chromium's offer to kill a rendering process is pretty useless, since the offer includes one guilty tab and numerous innocent precious tabs.
More country-level than international, but I think you'd like Democracy 3 http://store.steampowered.com/app/245470/
A lot of them are killed buy the police. Your chance of being killed in a high income area is really low.
Do you pigeonhole everything you disagree with into a sensationalized straw man?
Dependency hell is s big one.

Monolith syndrome is another and one of the huge perks of Elixir is that it forces you to build in a way that makes separating out parts later on much simpler.

Performance is "the" major one because it's one of those things that you just can't overcome easily with Ruby. Usually that leads long term to refactoring a part of your system in another language like Go just for performance sake.

The routing layer is one of the biggest issues that is incredibly difficult to solve in non-compiled languages.

People are familiar with callback hell in JavaScript but the same thing happens overtime from using all of those before/after callbacks, nesting from inheritance, etc.

Rack middleware is great until you only want it on some of your requests. At that point things end up in a top level controller that other controllers are inheriting from which forces those parts to get hit after the router. Phoenix has something called pipelines that basically lets you define your middleware stack for sets of routes or even based on request matching like "accepts json" vs "accepts html".

ActionCable has just been added to handle websockets but whether or not they will actually scale remains to be seen. Phoenix has been built for it from the ground up and it's very impressive. You can find the 2 million websockets on a single server benchmark with some Googling.

RAM and CPU usage is better. Concurrent processes have built in supervisors that know how to restart them on failures and know how to drop associated concurrent jobs as well. It's as easy as Go routines but with fault tolerance.

Erlang eco system libraries are usable and bring a lot to the table so it's not like starting from nothing. The "awesome-elixir" page on github is a great reference.

It's functional programming with immutable data structures which forces you to think about problems a bit differently, but also ensures a better concurrency model since there is no such think as a mutex lock.

The built in hot code deploys from Erlang gives you zero downtime deploys on a single machine. Although I haven't yet tried this, people have suggested that this means you could deploy to with millions of connected websockets without breaking the connections (in the same way that Erlang was built to do this with phone systems without dropping calls).

It's a little bit mind blowing and as you can probably tell, I'm excited. ;)
I used to but now use the Papaly Chrome extension. I like that I can create private categorized boards that automagically sync across all my devices.

I am ROUTINELY prescribed medication that I am not supposed to take.

I have a drug allergy, and one other simple condition that both preclude certain medications being prescribed to me. These conditions do not change over time, and have been in my medical history for 20+ years and yet multiple providers have prescribed medication I can't take to me. I cross check all new prescriptions myself as a matter of course now.
I think better UX would be show me the closest one to today, which is 2016
Outlook on iOS is great. It used to be called Acompli until it was acquired by Microsoft. I had long hoped all of the Sunrise features would be incorporated into Outlook before Microsoft shut it down, but no such luck.
Oh, you again. Never mind my earlier question. I see that you have some special, irrational vendetta against Rails.
On what OS does it run right now?
Every Electron application I've used has been sluggish and straight up pathetically slow compared to any native counterparts. I think there are two reasons its picking up steam:

* Your can now make your web devs (HTML/CSS/JS etc) do your application development as well

* General popularity of web development is exploding

* There's no comparable free, permissive native framework. The closest thing is Qt and its LGPL. No one wants to touch the GPL.
Thanks, I didn't see an obvious link (should have clicked "more"), wound up on NylasCloud page, which did have pricing, but that linked to a contact form.

Might be worth having a Pricing link/button next to download, and from the Free column, to the download screen.

Also, since the data is all in your cloud, would be nice to have a "web" version, so that I could use the app without needing to install. That would be ideal for me, a web-mail app that I can manage all my accounts from anywhere, even when I'm not on my home computer.

Just a few thoughts.
I honestly don't think that Free software can keep up in the short term without a regular dues-paying membership organization behind it. Instead of concentrating on trying to expand interest in software rights, I think the only way forward is to consolidate the already converted. Also, it gives non-developers and non-technical people the ability to feel fully involved.

I wish the Chicago FSF had two or three offices in town, a local administration, weekly meetings, classes daily, and that I could send them $25 a month to remain in good standing.

In the long term Free software can't help but win, unless Stallman gets hit by a bus. Stallman will eventually be hit by a bus.

edit: and by all that I mean that Free Software needs to build a proper business.

BitBucket Server (hosted) is better.

We switched from GH:Enterprise and saved $1000's a year. Worth it.
Google removed Amazon's app for violating the ToS, which clearly states that you may not sell your own app store through Google's.

This is still entirely on Amazon's bad behavior.

Also, your theory sort of excuses Amazon but does not explain why they also banned Apple TV.
I've used calendly.com with some success.
I do like the idea of Revlo. However could it be fair to consider Revlo a missing feature of Twitch? If Twitch bring out their own similar program I imagine it would spell bad news.

Secondly, is there any possibility Twitch would not like Revlo in that it might be increasing the number of people who leave Twitch running in the background but never watch it?

Also, is it fair to say you may be incentivising people to stream multiple times with multiple accounts to rack up the points and have a much better chance of winning the prize draws? My experience is prizes don't have to be that valuable for people to make big efforts to game it!
Hi, Some questions

- Can this reuse existing Scala code?

- How does it compare against Rust/GO/Swift? Why use this over them?

- How about libraries?
Civ 5 was arguably incomplete at launch. The optimal strategies ended up being pretty shallow and the AI was pretty brain dead. The expansions helped a lot (although Religion tends to feel like a sideshow), but BNW made it a little to easy to secure a culture victory IMHO.
VFILES • NYC • Full Time • ONSITE • Full-stack + iOS

VFILES is the hippest and foulest-mouthed unification of community, content, and commerce in the fashion world today. To spare you a longer, platitudinous spiel about the brand, here's some things to read about us:

• Mashable: http://mashable.com/2015/09/09/vfiles-vogue-gen-z/

• High Snobiety: http://www.highsnobiety.com/2016/02/11/vfiles-fall-winter-20...

• Nylon: http://www.nylon.com/articles/how-vfiles-is-changing-fashion

• Page Six: http://pagesix.com/2016/05/02/soho-residents-annoyed-with-fa...

We're looking for

• an experienced iOS developer: Our app has been developed with Swift 2, targets iOS 9, and uses functional, modern programming techniques. Check it out in the app store.

• a full-stack engineer: Our application is a decoupled suite of Snap services serving an increasingly mature Angular frontend. You'll not only get to work with Haskell every day, but also fun tools like Neo4j, ElasticSearch, and more. Engineers here always have the right to experiment with new techniques and technology to solve problems. Check it out at vfiles.com.

You'll join a team of six engineers in a company of about twenty people amongst the editorial team, shop team, video production, etc. Everybody here is at the top of their game; it's a very refreshing environment to work in, regardless of your interest or lack thereof in fashion and pop culture.

As for fringe benefits, we throw the best parties in town (hosted by A$AP Mob and crashed by Kendrick Lamar), have company trips to Montauk, organize Soul Cycle rides and boxing workouts with designers, models, and other personalities, and are invited to essentially everything that happens in New York.

You can write me directly at tamara ∀ vfiles ∘ com if you are interested in hearing more and coming in to meet us.

At this time we can only consider local applicants willing and legally able to work at our Soho offices without sponsorship.
I'm open to it, but based on what?

Lustig studied at MIT+Cornell and is an MD with years of experience. He spent decades researching biochemistry and obesity and published numerous papers on these subjects.

Anthony Colpo, unless I'm mistaken, is just some random guy.
How the Sahara Keeps the Amazon Green
But who's to say that's what they intended at the start? They may well have entirely expected to make it a successful startup, only to find themselves unable to make the profit required to do so, so they got acquihired.

If you wanted to use an app with open source and a permanent future you should have installed an open source app. Installing a closed source app created by a business and depending on them open sourcing it when the business closes is folly.
I wonder if those games didn't make money, or just didn't make enough money. I'm thinking AoEs and Flight Sim.
Nice, thanks! And I can pay for it, that's a comforting change.
Yeah, that was my initial thought.

It genuinely seems like a good idea, but it also seems like something Twitch themselves could implement.
Also, their relationship with the client (employer) is also important. If they can whittle down how much a client (employee/contractor) is willing to get, they will be who the employer calls first next time.

Also, if they know the budget, they may know how small it is too. If they are no other jobs, they may try to convince you to take whatever's in their book.
(and yeah, file: URLs most have three but lets ignore that for now)

I don't want to be nitpicky but actually a file url still has two slashes, the third slash is actually the root path i.e.:
file:///home where the two slashes are slash-slash-colon and there third is actually the start of the path. (actually it just emit's the host)

Actually there is one exception, but just ignore this widly 'unused' operating system which doesn't seem to care about posix and rfc's anyway.
It would be nice if Facebook had some incentive for sharing ad revenue with large publishers, the way YouTube does; that seems like that would give at least some companies a way out of this hole. Is there any chance that someone like a Buzzfeed would have enough leverage to broker this sort of deal?
I'm constantly being contacted through LinkedIn by recruiters who clearly haven't actually read my profile - they'll say they've read it and then say that they think I'd be perfect for the Senior Developer position they're hiring for, when my profile clearly has me as a student looking for entry -level positions. When I respond, or when they call me, I tell them my actual qualifications and they say that they'll definitely contact me in the future. To date I have not heard from a single one of them again.
Why bother, when you can just use npm private modules?

It doesn't cost a lot (7$), it follows semver and it doesn't involve additional configuration.
Ok, then say "Small redis module example to test your toolchain".

Exclaiming it only took 15 lines of code is mostly irrelevant.
How Messaging Apps Are Changing the Real Estate Industry Forever
Yes, to all your questions except the last one. That's the whole point. If I intend to overthrow president Trump, I won't use WhatsApp. Most other purposes, seems pretty fine now.
I enjoyed Europa Universalis as well. It taught me quite some history while being engaged with addictive gameplay.

A modern version simulating the last 100 years of politics and war on a worldwide scale would interest me. Especially if you could try different strategies and perspectives in current day hotspots like Syria, Southeast Asian sea, etc.
Grow fast or die slow: Why unicorns are staying private
In regards to contributing to an open source project, I initially had a very similar experience to what you've described. I do disagree however that it is hard to find smaller projects to contribute to. Especially in the realm of browser extensions, there are a tons which I use day to day that are open source, and that I've had the opportunity to contribute to.
For less than these price plans, you can have your own domain and server.
Microsoft tried something similar years ago with HTML Applications (.HTA), essentially web apps that could talk to the file system. Didn't seem to work out, though.

If that counts as fraud, recruiters are in far greater danger...
From a historical perspective there's been shockingly little conquest in the past 50 years. Almost all redrawing of borders have been a result of internal struggles, and only a tiny amount of soil has changed hands as a result of invading armies seizing territory.

There've still been civil wars, coups, proxy wars, trade wars, foreign-funded revolutions, etc, but these are way smaller scale and result in far less bloodshed than building up a massive army and smashing it against an enemy in an open war of conquest.

Interesting dynamics for a game like Civ.
Rise of Nations 2
The entire recruiter economy is an enormous conflict of interest. They are like realtors. They are paid by commission and make significantly more money based on quantity of hires, rather than quality. So they have no real incentive to fight for you or help with your negotiations and a strong incentive to be mildly dishonest or exaggerate without burning bridges. This is terrible for both you and your employer (but most importantly you). They just want to fill as many positions as quickly as possible. There's possibly even a incentive to hiring folks that quit/leave in a short period of time to increase the number of opportunities that need to be filled and people that want to be placed.
These event-type synchronous, broadcasted human chemosignals open the possibility for objective and non-invasive assessment of a human group response to stimuli by continuous measurement of chemicals in air.

I don't agree that this isn't invasive. In fact, based on the current heated discussions going on regarding societal and corporate responsibilities around privacy, I don't believe I'm in the minority on this one.
If it was, all you'd have would been opaque Allwinner stuff like this one, complete with backdoors. While I agree with you on a theoretical level, upstream is the only sanity check we have right now. Also, once upstreamed code generally keeps working, but out of tree drivers tend to get bit rot fairly quick.
Keyslack: encrypt/decrypt and send/receive Keybase PGP messages through Slack
Amazon, Google, etc. etc. all these companies building their own custom network devices, and so much of it coming back to both "It does too much, most of which we don't need" and "We want to do our own thing at that layer".

As James Hamilton noted at the AWS Re:Invent convention, not only is there they overhead and development expense of these unneeded components, just the sheer complexity of the application running is inevitably leading to bugs and unexpected behaviour. By simplifying the device to just do the few things you actually need it to do, you end up more performant, and more reliable.

I wonder if the entrenched network appliance providers will wake up?
The Trillion Dollar Cloud Question
I can't say I'm surprised. I had a surgery once at a supposedly well-respected regional hospital, and they made several careless mistakes with me. Everything turned out fine, but there was considerable opportunity for easily preventable things to have gone wrong if it weren't for dumb luck.
The New Age of Surveillance
> Asking someone on a date that isn't interested in you is harassment.

Asking someone on a date when it is apparent that they aren't interested is harassment.
Walmart's sin here isn't lack of policy/procedure/strategy. It's serving poor customers.

That's the thing about Walmart -- they don't just sell to poor customers. What they literally do -- buy selling products that might have the lowest price point, but also by far the lowest value; and hence are generally the worst investment in the long run -- is sell poverty itself.
not going to touch an extension

Extensions tend to break with browser updates. Extensions tend to cause slowness. Nobody wants your bug report if you are running an extension.
Lines of code is a worthless metric. Except when it isn’t
If I had to guess, I'd imagine that wasn't the only reason they brought you in, just that they sucked obtaining those details in a way that wasn't overt and/or greasy.

But, yeah, recruiters definitely do that.

If a recruiter wants to bring you in for an interview, they had better have a job for you. If they can't tell you about the job in any substantive way let alone tell you who the client is then I'd say they're full of shit and don't bother. I can count on one finger the number of times I couldn't say who that client was at that point (psycho client).

SOMETIMES, and I do this, I will ask someone to meet even though we don't have a job (at that moment) that's well suited for them. I'll do it because they're awesome as a person and professional and because they are looking for work in a core business of ours. But I will tell folks as much, and most are interested in meeting and chatting.

Ah, thanks. I really don't know anything about Web APIs. I'd heard the terms "Web API" and "REST", etc. before, but didn't realize it was just a site that you sent special HTTP requests to. Thought there might be something more involved than that? Like Websockets or something. Mostly that sounds like an RPC to me, which I suppose is technically an API, but I'm used to hearing the more specific term.
