> "What genre defining and blockbuster games did it have?"

When you say 'genre defining and blockbuster', are you referring to the quality of the games or how much they sold?

If you base quality on how many copies were sold, then you're not going to find what you're looking for. If you base them on the quality of the experience, then you will find what you're looking for.

Consider the fighting game genre. What games in the 3D fighting genre were the equal of Soul Calibur at the time of release? The N64 had very limited choices in this regard (I had an N64 too, so I remember this well, best option was probably Fighters Destiny). The PlayStation had some decent 3D fighters, but again nothing I would favourably compare to Soul Calibur. Even the Playstation 2 didn't have anything I'd put above it within its first year (Tekken Tag Tournament was okay, as was Dead or Alive 2, though the Dreamcast had Dead or Alive 2 as well).

I could go through a bunch of other high quality games that the Dreamcast had, but unless you've played them I doubt you'll believe me about how good they were.
It probably depends a lot on when people eat dinner. I sometimes eat dinner at 5-6pm and then I definitely need breakfast. If I eat at 8-9pm, I usually skip breakfast. But I've sort of stopped with the whole "you must have 3 meals per day" at these designated increments and I simply eat when I'm hungry, regardless of the time.
Some groups teach "the mark of the beast" fairly literally (e.g. SSN, credit cards, etc.), but I was taught it is not literal but symbolic of having to profess a heretical belief to participate in commerce with the hand / head position relating to the way you professed the belief. It goes along with the rest of the symbolism in Revelations. Literal vs Symbolic is a long running topic in most Christian churches.
I build a developer tool for premium plugin / theme authors in the Wordpress ecosystem. If you can build something that scratches an itch in a programming ecosystem, people are likely to pay for it.

i dunno, i found that kind of special functions which are actually language constructs like list(), isset(), etc always ugly. Ok, some more syntax sugar to let these things not look like normal functions is of course an improvement, but i wish they would do some more radical changes to the language. Why not add multiple return values like in golang to achieve that syntax? Isn't exactly that list() should emulate in some way? Than deprecate that list() crap and throw it away in 7.2. But instead they will keep that list "function" forever along that new bracket syntax because they are afraid some code from the 90s would break. On the other hand they don't stop adding minor complete irrelevant changes that break existing code from yesterday.

I also blended it into the workflow. It's really fast to add a high pass filter, set the gain and remove artifacts if needed. Part of sound design is mixing also for me.

Before exporting I revisit all channels, but usually not much work left. It probably helps a lot that I do electronic music mostly.
Insider trading, as it is actually enforced in real life, only rarely inconveniences true insiders like CFOs and board members. Rather, the public's prosecutors typically concentrate on "outside insiders" like celebrity homemakers and golf buddies of golf buddies. One could speculate on what motivates this preference of prosecutors.

Informed trading is a prisoners' dilemma, in which loyalty to "the pact" distorts markets while defections from it make information public. As you observe, C-suite reptiles benefit most from informed trading. Please note, however, that insider trading laws actually increase the benefits they receive, by punishing "outside insider" defectors. Eliminating this ill-conceived and inconsistently-enforced law would actually decrease the advantage that management takes of owners of public stock.
Interesting move.

The tradition in the lisp world is to write a metacircular evaluator, which is approximately the most braindead thing that you could actually call a 'compiler'. Similar concepts apply in day to day work, if you want to have some fun with compilers.

You can almost certainly use a parser in your day to day work. You've got log files, config files, some sort of routine tedious job that involves taking free text and turning it into useful data structures of some kind.

They don't have to be complex - it's entirely possible to write a few-line validator and transformer for (say) CSV user input.
Hah yes. In the early days of Zipcar in NYC (not sure if this is still allowed as I moved to the country and now drive a gas guzzling truck), I reserved every weekend for 48 hours for a full year in advance. Then on the Friday before the reservation started I would decide what I really needed, as there was no cancellation penalty. I probably only used it every second or third weekend, but noticed it really improved my "get out there and do something" motivation, as I set the default for "I have a car."

Probably wasn't good for Zipcar though.
Cool. Would love to have pandas in there.
In most graph database, you find a vertex by filtering its properties, e.g. Gremlin graph query language. In Unicorn, you can do the similar with document vertices (it is, a vertex corresponding to a document in another table/collection). This is probably very nature in a business application. However, it is not very useful in your case as your vertices are abstract without any properties.

I guess what you want is some large scale graph analytics, which I suggest Spark GrpahX or other distributed graph computing engine.

Unicorn is designed for property directed multi-graphs.
Android users are way, way poorer than iOS users on average, and I suspect that willingness to purchase an app or game correlates very strongly with willingness to pay for an iPhone. The difference is even more skewed outside the US.

http://www.comscore.com/lat/Insights/Blog/Android-vs-iOS-Use...

To be honest, I usually expect my Android apps to be free, and there's huge friction for paying for anything because Google doesn't support standard payment methods in my country (heck, in my continent, South America), they keep expecting international credit cards which almost no-one has.

I'm sure the vast majority goes unpunished. But they do make an effort. It is relatively easy to find suspicious trades using statistical methods. Once the regulators decide to pursue a particular trade or event, they are quite exhaustive in establishing ties between insiders and the suspicious trading activity.

For example, as a young lawyer, I played a small part on an M&A deal where there was suspicious trading by some UK-based hedge funds. All the lawyers, bankers, and principals on the deal received a letter from the SEC asking for a list of every person who may have had knowledge of the deal, what they knew, and when they first knew it. That went as far as listing secretaries who were physically stationed near our office, whether or not they worked on the transaction. Nothing came of that investigation, which as far as I know may be the usual result. There are certainly stories where the SEC or DOJ have managed to establish amazingly tenuous connections between tippers and tippees. Presumably the badguy will not just volunteer "hey I give stock tips to my college buddy". But I think if the suspicion is high enough, the regulators can be quite systematic in tracking down leads.

To TL;DR the post, any time you transform a stream of symbols into another stream of symbols, it's compilation, and we do that all the time in computing, so if you don't understand how that process works, then you don't understand the fundamental systems of computing.

Unix pipeline commands, for example. If you've ever used sed, it's apparently a compiler by his definition.

I'm in the US, at a law firm, and after the first year, every year is 7 weeks vacation + 10 holidays just like this. I'm glad, because they told us we had an unlimited vacation policy that I do not use and on the books in the first year we're only supposed to get 7 days.

Some fusion designs in theory would burn deuterium-tritium. Typical way to produce tritium is from lithium. When lithium absorbs a neutron it fissions into tritium + helium. Potential designs for fusion reactors then have a way of exposing lithium to the neutron flux from the reactor.

Well, that is actually a good point. As President Obama said in anticipation of his historic visit to Hiroshima this year (paraphrasing): the relationship of Japan and the United States should serve as an example of how we can build a lasting peace from bitter enmity.

It's also worth noting that President Obama and the G7 will be meeting on Ise Shima, near Japan's most sacred Shinto site, Ise Jingu. It's significant because the most important shrines of Ise Jingu are rebuilt on the site every twenty years. I've visited Ise Jingu a few times, and the incredible craftsmanship of the buildings is jaw-dropping. Every piece of ancient Hinoki cedar used in the buildings is chiseled and sanded to perfection. They've been re-building the shrines every 20 years for almost a thousand years. Among other things, it's a metaphor for this whole conversation about forging a new tradition.

As a side note in his talk "Simple Made Easy" (https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy, around minute 42)
Rich Hickey mentions, that conditional statements are complex, because they spread (business-)logic throughout the program.

As a simpler (in the Hickey-sense) alternative, he lists
rule systems and logic programming. For example, keeping parts of the business logic ("What do we consider an 'active' user?", "When do we notify a user?", etc...) as datalog expressions, maybe even storing them in a database, specifies them all in a single place. This helps to ensure consistency throughout the program. One could even give access to these specifications to a client, who can then customise the application directly in logic, instead of chasing throughout the whole code base.

Basically everyone involved agrees on a common language of predicates explicitly, instead of informally in database queries, UI, application code, etc...

But Hickey also notes that this thinking is pretty "cutting-edge" and probably not yet terribly practical.
Can't upvote this high enough. Yep, I also consider myself mediocre. (My "world" has people like Eric Lippert, Anders Hejlsberg and Jon Skeet in it - there's no way in hell I can say I'm among the best with a straight face.) I am safely in the middle :)

The brand of Christianity in which I was trained does not take any of Revelation as a prophecy but rather analogous to what Mark Twain did in "Letters from Earth." Considering John of Patmos' circumstances at the time ( he was living in exile ) and the subsequent scholarship, this is largely the most reasonable interpretation.

The Fundamentalists evolved differently from the main European Christianities - think of a small village of practitioners separated from any strong institutional backing. You'll get "telephone game" distortions.

Don't forget the advertisements that touted Sugary Cereal X as a "part of this complete breakfast"--which was not something that anyone would actually add cereal to if they already had one.

All the ads showed the bowl of cereal next to a 12oz glass of milk, an 8oz glass of orange juice, buttered toast, a colorful piece of fruit, maybe some jelly on the toast, and the cereal box. All the kids who actually ate it just got the cereal with some milk poured over it. It was dumped directly down the gullet with a funnel, because you only had 8 minutes left to get to the school bus stop, which was a 5 minute walk from your front door.

That's fair, and pretty earning-method-agnostic. Although resting strictly on that would seem to lack a justification for most tax-funded social welfare programs.
True.

But there are also many cases when sales people force the product development team to implement the most idiotic "feature", because "we think the client is ready to sign the check and this is really important to them". The bad side of commission-based compensation is that they want to close the sale, no matter how harmful (in the long term) it can be.
Could be.

As a counterpoint, I've had a lot of antibiotics early in life. The kind that caused tooth damage (most of my dental fillings are form that). Not as young, though.

I had asthma triggered by dust, very frequently. We had an inhaler at home plus asthma medications. My brother and sister had the same issue, but they had no antibiotics prior to their symptoms.

As adults, we have no known allergies.

Your antibiotics are probably unrelated. Also, if the gut was severely affected by the antibiotics prescribed for the eye condition, you should have seen major gastrointestinal problems. Did you?
I have found the best side projects to be monetized versions of stuff which I built for my startup to save me time.

A recent example is a script which I originally hacked together to check for possible IP changes/submissions (copyrights, patents, trademarks etc) which might affect my startup's own IP.

It didn't cost very much to SaaS-ify the original script (outsourced using upwork.com) and after sending out a few emails and shoutouts in newsletters, events etc I have a pretty decent side-income from private clients and law firms (pays the rent & yearly holiday hopefully).

The hard part is making sure you don't let it distract you from your main project/job - I am at 3-4h/month and don't let myself go above that!
I was always turned off by this book's title. It really doesn't fit at all as a metaphor.

In the middle ages, cathedrals were collaborative, public works projects. A whole city or town came together to build one. People from all social strata donated money or work to build the most splendid building they could. The final result was a public space open to all citizens, with no commercial purpose.

On the other hand, a bazaar is literally a market, where people go to buy and sell their wares. It's all about the profit, not the common good, and it's all about competition, not collaboration.

Even if you want to ignore the entire free software aspect and focus entirely on the pure technical benefits of open source, the cathedral is the far superior artifact from an engineering point of view. And where is the openness in the bazaar? As if the merchant is going to tell you how much he paid for his wares, or how they were made.
It's the perfect opposite if you look at both words the way you have to look at them when they appear in writing about nutritional science.

You're grossly inflating those calorie numbers.

A grande Starbucks cappuccino is 120 calories. Nonfat brings it down to 80. A grande dark roast at Starbucks is 5 calories, 1 tsp of sugar is 16 calories, and 1oz of milk is 12 calories. Unless you're drinking milk and sugar with a splash of coffee, you won't get anywhere near 200-300 calories.

Even a peppermint mocha with whipped cream - pretty much one of the sweetest drinks you'll find at Starbucks - only has 440 calories, so you'd need to really add a lot of syrups to get to >600.
FWIW, I was able to clear up my spring time pollen allergies by not eating gluten.

I was tested for celiac disease, but I do not have it thankfully. However, I decided to stop eating wheat in early 2015 for other reasons. I noticed that when spring came, I had almost no issues with pollen. I mentioned it to my internist and he said he wasn't surprised given the typical immune reaction to gluten. This year, another repeat performance. Almost no problems with pollen season. I had one or two episodes where I sneezed, but that was it. My area of the US is one of the highest allergy areas due to the density of foliage.

As to why this has happened, I can only speculate. I suspect that it's mostly due to the fact that the wheat we eat in the U.S. isn't the same wheat we ate 40+ years ago- it's been genetically altered and there are NO long term studies on the affect of these GMOs on health - they haven't been available on the market long enough to really know. I haven't tried eating non-GMO wheat products so I can't say whether my theory is correct. For me, not eating wheat was the way to go for better health overall. But.. I do miss eating warm bread from the oven now and then.
I've been personally very impressed with Spark's RDD api for easily parallelizing tasks that are "embarrassingly parallel". However, I have found the data frames API to not always work as advertised and thus I'm very skeptical of the benchmarks.

I think a prime example of this is I was using some very basic windowing functions and due to the data shuffling (The data wasn't naturally partitioned) it seemed to be very buggy and not very clear why stuff was failing. I ended up rewriting the same section of code using hive and it had both better performance and didn't seem to have any odd failures. I realize this stuff will improve but I'm still skeptical.
If allergies are protective, what happens to people who take anti-allergy medication? Say, during pollen season? Are they being harmed?
>you haven't convinced anyone for either your eloquence or your argumentative skills.

Even in this thread,

https://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/41bm7j/new_rfc_allow_s...

even when the language shows its true color in front of their very own eyes, people continue to be in denial. (See arguments of /u/betterphpguy).

I don't bother to polish my arguments regarding this, because I know how futile it really is. A programmer who "likes" or Php cannot be convinced otherwise by arguments. If he/she is lucky, their own experience with the language and outside of it, will take them to that realisation.

I do this only for the benefit of any newcomer who might come across these thread, and might think that Php is on par with the other languages.
Fantastic, Gitlab are absolutely nailing it at the moment. Don't think there's any other hosted service offering so many CI/CD features for free under one roof.

It feels like what Github did for SCM, Gitlab are doing for CI.
I suppose so, but it's a risk that can be managed with existing technology, and without spending insane amounts of money.
If static type systems cannot do everything, it does not make sense to me to conclude that they shouldn't then be used for anything. Type systems aren't part of "regular testing", they're part of compile-time error checking.
