I guess you didn't read the article. Nintendo didn't create this alternate universe, a third party did.
To be fair, getting a degree in business administration is basically asking for a soul crushing corporate desk job.
Creating an E-Commerce App in Sketch: Part 1 of 3
Here are a few thoughts:

- Starting something new is hard, but it can get better after a while. Be patient and maybe you'll discover a better side of your job, meet exciting people etc.

- Maybe you're not doing what you really like. Try to find what you're really passionate about and do it.

- Maybe you need a deeper meaning to your life. For me it was meditation. I needed that deeper breath in my life and it gives me a lot of joy and hope. For others it might be traveling the world, family, volunteering... Your disappointment might be asking for such a change.
The solution is to just make RAII wrappers for that stuff.
I felt that way when I started my first job after a master of IT. I was meat sold to companies, I didn't have leadership because I was a total junior, and I didn't have weight to negotiate.

For the next 10 years, I have remained quite depressed. I have done many cool things [1]. The core of the problem is understanding that, as opposed to nice stories we study, we've understood that those startups don't "change humanity", and 99.9% of us, despite excellent curriculum, will never have the leverage to do what Elon Musk is doing.

As The Doc says: "I'll focus on the other great mystery of Humanity: Women". Don't take it literally, but he means that getting a significant other, becoming meaningful to the people around you, while keeping your health, developing your wealth and casting your ethic and your culture: That's what life is about. The job is only a part of that.

So go find the best job you can, and exercise a little every day to become the best at it. Meanwhile find friends. Develop a network, across the globe, but also in your country, and in your city, through all layers of population. One day visit your local detention center with the family of an inmate, another day set up the Internet for an elderly person. Offer big presents and organize things for your nieces. You'll be a cog like you would have been if you focused only on work, but you'll be a leader in your community.

[1] I stayed 8 months in my first country, came back for a job at home where I stayed 2.75 years, left for backpacking in Australia, 6 months, +2.5 years in an awesome job over there. Came back and created my product, became self employed. People now look up at me and ask me for advice. But it's not a secret that I'be been depressed all along the way.
Yes. My point was that the scope of applications seems to be expanding (even on the consumer level) such that single-threaded performance on an x86-style instruction set and memory model isn't the end-all definition of computing power anymore.
Even if Nintendo doesn't end up making much money out of the Pokemon Go game, the value of the mostly positive press that the company has received will certainly also affect positively product sales in the future.
Sure. Let's go with that then.

EDIT: That was just straight snark. Sorry.

Want a better response? I've seen your other comments regarding WhatsApp/Facebook on past related discussions. If you really think Brazil is being held back by these companies (WhatsApp in particular) make a competitor. Win over the Brazilian market. And deliberately make it insecure so your government can eavesdrop on any conversation. Good luck at keeping that market.
Docker Storage: An Introduction
What he's saying is that there might be V1, 2 and 3 of the microphone in question. The software is tied to a single version of that microphone so any microphone of the same version is indistinguishable to the software.

>the software was compiled to match the device ID of the mic it was shipped with.

Since there isn't a "device ID", only a "Model ID", there isn't a new compiled version for everything being shipped. There's maybe 3 or 4 versions of the software total and there's probably one version that's more prolific than the others.

He may not have been able to buy one of those USB Microphones off of Amazon that had the same VID and PID but the old model that he repaired is one of the few versions that the manufacturer used so there's a pretty decent chance that the fixed one will work as is with another computer with the software on it.
"floppy disks"?...scary
If you want to go back to school, do it abroad!! German and Swedish Universities are basically free, and most if not all master's courses are taught in English. Cost of living is generally manageable (You can live like a king in Berlin on the amount you'd loan on average for a uni degree in States). I cannot stress this enough. Broadening horizons, social circles, learning new languages and cultures, travel opportunities in weekends. Oh, and of course learning a new trade. Absolutely worth it.
Not to be picky, but if you're trying to do (6), forget about trying to do (1) & (2)
Really? What about the books and comics? I doubt that they are out to make a quick buck, since the sliders for developers, charity, and HB still exist on every bundle. I think they wanted to do this more often, so they had to broaden their lineup.
And you have to remember to log the error at every level of the stack, otherwise you're left with an error code that has no context.
Excellent advice
Sure, what a better move from an organization that is more and more compared to the USSR than completely ignore the result of a direct consultation of the citizens. Especially when anti-EU parties are gaining traction is a lot of other countries.

If the UK does not leave the EU despite the will of the people, it will be the clearest message ever sent to everybody in Europe that they have basically lost the right to decide for themselves. That would probably not be without consequences.
Having an office job, eg. signing a work contract where you have to schow up every morning is not participating in the market economy but voluntary slavery. Don´t be a slave!

I live in Europe where self employement is not common but the most happiest friends of mine are all somehow self employed.
29 myself, and going through something similar. Millennials like us aren't allowed to grow up, it doesn't matter how successful or educated we are. In fact, the more we accomplish the more we are disinfranchised because society merely wants us to be consumers, go to work, pay the bills, and try not to cause any trouble. We aren't supposed to be anything more than consumer wage slaves.

Our generation has been brainwashed since we were children with identity politics, identity consumerism, and identity propaganda. We've been demoralized to believe in a system that is so utterly corrupt and rigged against us that there really isn't an answer to your question. You've already screwed yourself with a useless college degree and likely debt, and literally paid them to brainwash you into believing what they taught you actually has relevance to the real world. It doesn't, which is partly why you're feeling what you're feeling.

My best advice to you is stop doing what anyone else tells you, stop following the path society wants you to, and in fact avoid the things you're supposed to do. Start a daily meditation practice, take care of yourself, eat well, focus your energy on creating value for others, and put all the distractions down and go outside.

Don't subscribe to propaganda, don't identify with anything anyone else tells you to, listen to your intuition, study things that interest you on your own always. Learn to teach yourself whatever you're interested in. Stop expecting the world or anyone else to hand you anything, and become the best problem solver you can become.

Everything else is just noise.
Sure implementation details matter. There's lots of good, traditionally built, well crafted small towns (with sidewalks!) outside of major cities that are "suburbs." Typically when an urbanist is disparaging the suburb they're talking about the common strip mall, cul-de-sac suburb type that isn't this. There's studies that show that these poorly built suburbs discourage walking and negatively affect health. Pick up the book Happy City if you're interested. It discusses how the differences in design of cities has implications on people's lives
It's because terror organizations tend to be quite civil on Twitter, whereas political trolls tend to be...trolls. The former isn't inimical to the proper functioning of the service, whereas the latter is.
It'd be handy if there was a page listing his comments you could point those who don't really follow what he's said to.
From what I've read, it appears unclear as to what Yahoo defines to be its "core business". Are there any details on what specifically Verizon is seeking to acquire, and whether Flickr is included?
Wow, this is great. Can we be friends because I love to argue with people I know. If you don't fight, you never realize who you are, you just think you're the same being as Pauly D, but you missed your "big shot" somewhere along the line.
One of the most incredible feelings I've ever experienced is severely disagreeing with 3 friends but really feeling passionate about it, then running into the woods to contemplate and cry, and then returning and getting 3 hugs. I want you to know that. It's a "You haven't lived until..." type of thing.
My recommendations:

1. Because it is a solicitation, posting the employment advertisement to the monthly "Who is Hiring" thread next month.

2. Because the general idea seems intellectually interesting, writing up a blog post about your experience/thoughts etc. that led to creating the apprenticeship [not a job advert] and submitting that link as a regular post.

Good luck.
Buzzy article, contradictory in spots and doesn't leave a concise conclusion. No idea what Chris is trying to get at. He suggests that the most popular app to date isn't sustainable, yet mentions that it's producing tons and tons of potential buyers for the new Pokemon releases.

Chris states "Pokemon Go‘s remarkable success surely awakened Nintendo’s conservative management team to the potential of mobile gaming" but in the previous paragraph says "The company is developing mobile versions of its strategy RPG series Fire Emblem and its adorable anthropomorphic Sims-style Animal Crossing, but their success is not guaranteed". Clearly their marketing team has "awaken" before pokemon to develop these other IPs?

Build friendships, have life experiences. It will make you always eager for the next experience.

I felt the same. I had more fun playing The Stanley Parable.
What did you do prior to school? Seems there may have been some time between HS and uni. What was going on that led you to pursue a business field?
Why did you choose business administration?
So everybody will just be doing things for free?
even if all of those problems would be fixed, there would
be a gender disparity in choice of occupations.
...
it would for most professions be much closer to 50/50 than
nowadays, that's true, but it would not be at 50/50.

1. I'm pretty sure reasonable people consider something "close enough" (like 46/54) to be gender parity. I understand that you read the statement as being strictly 50/50 but prose != computer program; maybe read what the GP was trying to say when reading.

2. On what basis are you assuming there would be a gender disparity, all other things being equal? (There isn't.) Can all other things be equal? Probably not perfectly, which is why most would consider "close enough" parity to be a win, but we're certainly not close now.
And as a game it's terrible. What's compelling is how well it fits into the Pokemon story.
>Then there is a distinct lack of advertising/popup spam = why would anyone run this out of goodness of his heart other than as a honeypot?

Because it was built in 24 hours and they haven't had time to set those up yet, maybe? Just a guess.
All information can be represented by integers, or any sequence of symbols, but in this case, a checksum is the equivalent of a name or title -- something only to identify.
I think Verizon is very close to realizing they're finally just becoming a utility and desperately want to stay in a higher-level game. But everybody completely ignores Verizon branded initiatives in this area (mostly because the combine being terrible with expensive). Buying existing brands is a much more likely path to success.
I'm always in awe of what the ancient Greeks managed to figure out with nearly no mathematical notation at all.

Or Calculus in Newton's book. The techniques were sound, but you'd have to be a superman to work the way he did.

Mathematical notation allows for better "chunking" and reduces cognitive load.

Moore's law is more about what happens when you get a lot of people working on a clearly defined problem + network effects where a new breakthrough helps everyone else get nearer to another breakthrough. This is why you find Moores law in so many places. It studies rate of change in technological progress.

In a particular area (eg, single core cpu performance) it eventually follows a sigmoid curve (where all hockey sticks must go) as lower hanging fruit exposes itself (eg, higher parrallelism and GPU computing).

Kurzweil (say what you will) has written a lot on the topic.
Most people don't need a conduct policy. Your average person isn't going to sign up for a website and start harassing other users, reposting Stormfront articles, and slinging racial slurs. On top of that, most people just click through the TOS without reading it. Do you even read the gazillion EULAs you click through when you install software? Did you read Facebook's TOS when you signed up? I thought not. It won't affect them because they'll end up obeying the TOS even if they've never paid attention to what's in the TOS.

But if you don't have a TOS and enforce it, then you're eventually going to get the attention of the nastiest, most vile people on the Internet. And given that almost the whole world is on the Internet now, that's some of the nastiest, most vile people in the world. Once you get their attention, they're going to go out of their way to make your website their new home. If you were a Neo-Nazi, and you were used to being banned from every forum you found as soon as you opened your mouth, and then you found a forum that had no rules and allowed absolute free speech, you'd fall in love right away. So much that you'd go out of your way to advertise it to your Neo-Nazi friends and coördinate a mass migration. Once the nastiest, most vile people on the Internet migrate to your site en masse, they're going to start targeting people for harassment, they're going to use it as a platform to spread hate, and they're going to take the opportunity to recruit from the general population by posting carefully crafted propaganda.

And, yes, they'll drown out the decent people. First, because the vile ones are actively invading your site in droves, while the decent people just stumble on it from random links and maybe friends' recommendations. Second, because the vile people will drive the decent people out. You know the old adage about how a thimble of wine mixed into a barrel of sewage is still sewage, but a thimble of sewage mixed into a barrel of wine is also sewage? It's kind of like that. Once there are enough vile people to make their presence known, they will turn your site into sewage even if they're the minority.

tl;dr: Most people don't need their conduct regulated, but if you don't establish and enforce regulations, your community will be thoroughly overrun by the people who do need their conduct regulated.
You're not alone in feeling this way. In the past, the things that have most helped resolve the issue is to find a community that inspires you to do better, to feel better. Your work may not provide this, and society at large will not provide this - it comes from finding a community. This can be activity based, religious, goal-oriented - they're all over but they can be hard to find and some are more welcoming than others but that support network is amazing.

Find a cause you care about and then find a community service organization that will help you contribute. Serve food at a soup kitchen. Hack together civic apps to improve how government serves citizens. If you're inclined (don't need to be religious / dogmatic) churches can be great communities to help spur you to think outside yourself, challenge you to be better and inspire you to find your mission in the world.

Finding that community, that goal outside yourself can be extremely fulfilling and helps to focus efforts and do good in the world.
While RAII and exceptions are better than goto's, the "goto fail" bug is not an example of that. The problem there was mismatch between indentation and parse which was a result of brace-less style and whitespace-insensitivity.
Hi. You are not alone. I am the same age and I often feel the same. I know that there are many other people that feel the same. Some even call it the Quater-life crisis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter-life_crisis), although I don't like putting everyone in the same bag.

That might be a symptom of depression (but does not have to be). I would recommend the thing I did. Talk to a therapist. Psychotherapy helped me see things from different perspectives, showed me new possibilities I did not see myself. I am still in the process, but I feel so much better and liberated in a way.
Do you have a family? A family, an SO or kids is the best way to understand life through other perspectives.
I dont know If I am in your shoes but I am in a similar situation. I am lawyer and my father is a lawyer and the past 5 years my brain went to a lockdown, refusing to work , to make friends, to have a relationship. I tried to push myself through this by changing career since it was obvious I was not happy. It did not help.

Everybody was implying I was suffering from severe depression so I decided to visit a psychiatrist. I was diagnosed with dysthymia , a condition very diffirent to depression. It basically means, no motivation to do anything.

So I have been taking drugs, they did not help, however psychotherapy did help me. After a year I realized that my problem was and still is pressure , pressure from my family but also and mostly pressure from myself. It killed my fun and enjoyment , everything became a must do, and brain refused to work under these conditions.

Now with the help of psychiatrist , I try to relearn how to relax and enjoy the process, stop working hard and instead work easy and fun. It works but old habits die last. So it will take years till I am out of the woods but the last year I have been doing psychotherapy at least I see a steady improvement.

We are be taught that we are our brain , but this is simply not true, brain is whole another monster and if you dont take good care of it , it will kick your ass. I wanted to learn this the hard way and so here I am.

So there is hope dont despair, definetly see a psychiatrist and expert advice is always helpful. The rest is up to you , go find what makes you happy and do that, the rest will follow.
I enjoy playing this game but I cant seem to find a way to make my story save to the cloud via steam. I switch between playing FTL at home and work (during lunch) seamlessly but Undertale doesnt allow for that as far as I can tell.
I lived in Montana for years. The only population of folks that speak German that I'm aware of are Hutterites (German variation of the Amish or Mennonites). If he comes from that group, it makes the story all the more amazing.
I remember when Len Adelman came to my undergrad institution in '94 or '95 and gave a seminar on his DNA computer. We (biologists) thought it was a neat trick, but not particularly interesting- it was always obvious to molecular biologists that a sufficiently complex set of protein operations could be used to store information and compute over it.

What Adelman didn't understand was how poorly his system scaled. To solve problems in his system, every molecule encoding data had to encounter and properly select its mate- that's fine when you have a small number of items in a test-tube volume. But combinatorial growth meant, that to encode problems that are interesting, you would have to use bathtub-sized reactors, and the solution would take a long time, and errors would be hard to manage.

People got slightly better but these systems still aren't really used for anything. I'm always hopeful somebody will use a system like this to discover something new and interesting, but most biologists just aren't open to using them (it's a risk, if you tried to publish a major finding using this technique, your reviewers would probably reject the paper).

Like material science, material biology has a ton of potential but the followup after discovery tends to be really limited.
The so-called "agenda" is avoiding breakage, because tons of middleboxes wouldn't be able to cope with non-TLS HTTP/2. They just assume HTTP/1.1 and things fail when that's not the case. And then there are the security and privacy advantages on top.

I guess that's one perspective.

From a gamer's perspective, Pokemon Go has been a disaster so far. The app itself is pretty clunky and prone to freezing. The servers have been down for lengthy periods during prime hours. And, worst of all, they took a beloved franchise and essentially gutted it, which is a huge disappointment to everyone who's loved Pokemon since the '90s.

Casual gamers will be put off by the poor technical execution, and the core gaming audience will be repelled by its shallow, gimmicky gameplay. It has all the markings of a fad. Niantic better have some pretty massive updates up their sleeve...
Some years ago Peter Thiel observed (correctly, I think) that capitalism and democracy are fundamentally at odds. Where democracy seeks to give everybody a voice in how society is structured, in capitalism you can only vote with your dollars. Instead of one one-person-one-vote some people get a billion votes and other people get none.

When faced with this contradiction Peter Thiel decided that capitalism should be preserved (and strengthened) and that democracy should be discarded. He doesn't feel bad about this because in his view most people contribute nothing of value to society anyway; society's real advances are the product of exceptional work by Nietzschean men.

So his support for an antidemocratic and authoritarian figure such as Trump is entirely consistent with his worldview. What is surprising is that other figures in Silicon Valley don't recognize this. Max Levchin (his old pal from Paypal) thought Thiel's support for Trump was a prank of some sort! Silicon valley insiders are either completely blind to these reactionary forces bubbling up around them or they strategically choose to stay silent. I'm not sure which is worse.
One rule of thumb would to be to recognize that, within all groups, there are extremists (and they often have the loudest voices). It is wise not to denounce an entire group based on the extremists. It is wise not to flippantly dismiss concerns raised based on the behavior of the extremists.

The problem I see with a heck of a lot of online conversations is that it ridiculously fails this rule. Often times there are some issues on both sides of the coin worth discussing, but it's hard to discuss things rationally when the loudest voices on both sides are acting like spoiled toddlers or often worse. Often times, the extremists dominate the conversation and the resulting discussion is toxic.

Violence is never the solution, but isn't it possible to be anti-fascist (or against any other political movement that more relies on emotionalism instead of rationalism) without being violent? I would think so.
