While we're recommending indie story games, if anybody wants to try out Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, I have a couple of gift copies left that have been sitting around for too long. It's something of an interactive fairy tale.

Requires a controller (for good reason, it's designed around two sticks). If anybody wants to try it, PM your email address to wlesieutre on reddit and I'll shoot you a copy.
Titan X Maxwell definitely had video outputs on it.

I think you have the impact of the 1971 decisidn almost backwards. Patronage on the basis of earnings derived from work done with the member is explicitly allowed in the statute, hours worked is not an explicitly allowed bases, and it wasn't initio 1971 that there IRS issues a ruling that goes worker was a valid basis for patronage under one of the statutory categories.

OTOH, the IRS has been accused of being reluctant (even after a court decision allowing it with specific standard) to allow weighting of work hours vs. flat work hours in determining the amount of earnings attributable to members as a whole (vs nonmembers) in determining how much of the forms revenue is eligible for inclusion in patronage distribution. This may be because actual mechanisms that came before it did not meet the standards of objectivity set on the court decision (that the problem is the application methods it's seen and not the concept entirely seems closest as they've indicated that weighting contribution of different jobs proportional to an applicable union pay scale would be acceptable.) This is an issue for coops with both member and non-member employees.
I have the same concern - including with our own system. As far as I know, all LBs are designed with this faulty logic. That's the case with our in-house F5 BigIPs, and I believe also for AWS's ELBs.

Sure, it makes sense to cut malfunctioning servers out of the production pool when discovered. But at the point where you've dumped out every production server, you've just created the worst possible situation - you're absolutely guaranteed not to be able to serve any traffic. At the point you get to zero functioning servers, a better response would be to restore all servers to the pool and just hope. That would be bad, but less so.

What we've done on our internal systems is to set things up so that when the last server is dropped, it fails over to a passive pool that is really just the normal production pool with no health checks. But I'm not aware of any LB that supports this directly, we had to glue together some ugly configurations to get this to work.

A Compiler for 3D Machine Knitting
Here is what I've got for you. Maybe together we'll have four cents:

Sounds like you need to set some goals. In school you had them - they were to get to here. Now its time to take stock and set some new ones. Then you'll know where you're going and you won't be lost.

For what its worth, here is my mission statement:

At home, my wife, kids, friends and family will
know they are loved and will see it through my
actions. At work, I will dazzle and always provide
something useful. For myself, I will invest the time
and energy to keep myself present, content, and healthy.
I personally don't think people should be accountable for their followers behavior, but let's suppose it is so.

Then, should we ban people such as Shanley, Randi Harper and their likes when they "unleash" their followers on some guy?

And this is actually different. While Milo did not explicitly call for the attacks, Shanley and Randi routinely do call for a target to be abused, for their companies to be harassed until the target is terminated, etc.

I don't support any side, I'm just trying to show that the first comment regarding consistency is indeed accurate, Twitter has none.
You have just made my day!

> I think something really important that doesn't get discussed very often when "free speech" comes up is that there really are categories of speech which most reasonable people expect and perhaps even prefer would not be 'protected'.

I think this gets brought up a fair amount, with both the obvious examples (yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater) and the not-so-obvious ones (whether 'hate speech' should be protected is very divisive).

A larger problem really is that many people are in a pretty binary mindset, especially about the not-so-obvious ones: Either you're a monster who has no principles, or you're a monster defending neo-nazis, without acknowledging that "allowable speech" is a constantly moving target.

Yelling "DEATH TO <X>" on a plane nowadays would almost certainly land you in prison (whereas 50 years ago maybe you would've just gotten a psych evaluation), and conversely talking about equal rights 200 years ago would've gotten you thrown in prison as a rabble-rouser inciting chaos.

Finding the acceptable level of "free speech" in a private community is something that's constantly going to be in flux, and successful communities will accept that ultimately neither group may be happy with the equilibrium: But it's still the equilibrium that maximizes happiness.

> More importantly there are categories of speech which are not put forward in good faith but are instead intended to do damage to communities that host them.

The dangerous part that you're omitting here is that "good faith" is an extremely subjective judgement. It's incredibly easy to imagine scenarios where dissenting speech = scrutinized HEAVILY for "not being in good faith".

For example, I'm pretty sure Erdogan has accused many opposition members of exactly that.
Well HB has decided to go for the quick buck by focusing on more bundles for Windows than anything else. Too bad they lost the multiplatform aspect in the way.
You (and many other people) tend to omit one very important detail: he called for a temporary ban, "until we figure out what the hell is going on".

Go to city college, get an AS in computer science. It's cheaper, the credits transfer, and it still looks better than a 'bootcamp'.
Steam Runtime solves that issue. What you describe however happens with GOG games, since they don't have a Steam Runtime-like system to take care of dependencies.
Strange that they've launched the linux port on Steam, but not the Mac port, which is only available on the Mac App Store.
Ironically, I've found (this was with Blacksmithing) that the higher the price, the better it sells. The high price itself creates a sense of value, and makes the object worth more in its exclusivity. Of course, there's a ceiling, but up to that point there's a lot of wiggle room in which to part fools and their money.
There's a lot of sloppy censorship on Reddit.

Mods are mods aren't paid, so they use a lot of very broad auto-moderator bots -- many of which are very poorly written. You can get a permanent ban from a Subreddit for having a user name the bot finds offensive, for example. You can have a post removed because you didn't end your question in the syntax the bot was expecting... and even if you fix it, and appeal to the mods, and they reverse the decision, your post gets restored as older and without any votes so nobody will ever see it. It's more that the moderation is an example of bad automation -- I think this is what reasonable users get up in arms about.

Arguing for pythons case
I would recommand you taking a look to Phenomic, an alternative to Gatby. There is an entry on Phenomic FAQ that try to list majors differences between Phenomic and Gatsby https://phenomic.io/docs/faq/gatsby/ (not reviewed by Gatsby author yet even if I poked him - he is probably busy).

Here are some key points I would like to highlight:

- like gatsby, Phenomic generate HTML for all pages (so works without JS)

- unlike gatsby, Phenomic does not put all content of the website in the JS client side bundle (content is loaded on demand only, which is a must have for moderate and big websites)

- offline support can be enabled with a single boolean flag to save all content of the website (make sense for docs) but you have plenty of options in case you want something more flexible (like cache when viewed) https://phenomic.io/docs/advanced/offline-browsing/

- we will offer soon a built-in search probably via algolia, but I will try to offer alternatives (note that it can already be setup pretty easily - some of our users already did this with just a few lines of code)

- a plugin system is coming soon so you can tweak the content consumed by phenomic

- themes will be a thing

- in case you have some questions before making your choices, here is a link to our gitter chat https://gitter.im/MoOx/phenomic

Phenomic is not meant to be a closed/magic box: you have full control over any step of the build process. And you also have full control over your webpack and babel config etc. We offer flexibility for built-in options via JSON or CLI args (we use yargs and an additional custom layer to validates all options and values so you make any mistakes).

Btw, Phenomic offers by default best practices with eslint/stylelint and uses under the hood AVA for its tests.

Just take a quick look to https://phenomic.io/ and the showcased sites https://phenomic.io/showcase/
My biology paper in Science (really)
I don't think it'll be good. It's probably based on the same chips used in the GTX 1080 which doesn't have the FP16 improvements that GP100 has. I can't be a hundred percent on this since NVIDIA hasn't confirmed.

From Anandtech's 1080 review (page 2): "As a result while GP100 has some notable feature/design elements for HPC – things such faster FP64 & FP16 performance, ECC, and significantly greater amounts of shared memory and register file capacity per CUDA core – these elements aren’t present in GP104 (and presumably, future Pascal consumer-focused GPUs)."
Welcome to your Saturn Return. While its a random astrology term, alot of us feel exactly the same way at the later end of 20s. Time to break the routine and reinvent yourself.
Things that worked for me:
* solo travel. Helps to break the envelope and find awe-inspiring things.
working out - your body is your amusement park, and working out unleashes the feel-good chemistry. Improves your mental state.
seeking our and spend time with people that inspire you. Nothing motivates mere then success stories of people youre with.
networking - the world is built by people and you cant build one by yourself.
reading in depth - know something in depth. Pro's are appreciated in any domain.

Going to school could help to get credentials if youre switching fields. But you can also get credentials by doing something.

Reddit is a crossroads: It's an intersection between the cultures of 4chan (which is in itself an intersection of japanese and american sensibilities), and the culture of usenet, and internet forums, and a dozen other cultures besides.

None of these cultures handle censorship well. They all originated in an environment where, to some extent, you could say whatever the hell you like.

Many of Reddit's early users came from these cultures, and they were responsible for the early culture of the site.

And now, Reddit is desparately trying to adapt itself, and attract people from Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr, whose cultures are radically different, and perhaps even to some degree less toxic than the pre-September usenet, whilst also being more toxic. I don't know how.

The point is, a culture that previously only dealt with unacceptability in relative terms - this is unacceptable in this context - is now dealing with absolute unacceptability - this is not acceptable, ever. This isn't a change that people will likely adapt to well. This is prompting a migration to sites like Voat, and others.

The problem is, Reddit is introducing censorship which is incredibly inconsistant to a site where the concept of censorship is anathema - Bans, yes, people get punished for breaking the rules. But having your posts quietly vanish without warning?

No wonder the userbase is pissed.

Unless I got it completely wrong, which is possible.

It sounded like he got no support from his family and "ran away" as soon as he was able. But, he probably could have earned a GED. But, that takes time - perhaps it was faster/easier to move to Germany?

The home-schooled teens that go on to college may lack formal paperwork form a school, but they generally do have some test results, paperwork filed with the county/state, and other items they can put on a transcript in lieu of actual grades.

Not going to touch on whether it is relevant to the rest of the article but acknowledging classism is the opposite of being classist.
Didn't think I was starting a flame war, I thought we were having a stimulating discussion, actually, but the two are often confused online unfortunately. I don't use any statically typed languages myself, so there is no reason for me to advocate for them from a personal bias standpoint, I was just saying that the people who DO use them seem to be pretty sold on them. Your criticisms are valid of course!
The problems would be portrayed differently depending on different subsets of the userbase. I don't like all of /r/news moderation, but unfortunately it hasn't alienated enough people for another relevant news subreddit to take its place. A lot of the people that are alienated enough end up being people that I don't want to associate with, e.g. the kind of people that post in the Donald Trump subreddit, where I was banned for commenting on a topic that stated a subscription spike on the Bernie Sanders subreddit was a result of paid actors. All I said was "Isn't that when he held an AMA?"

So yea, I question authority. I think it's great to question authority. I don't like when others question authority and then will not tolerate when their own authority being questioned. From my POV, the part of Reddit's userbase that conveys that attitude, such as users in the Donald Trump subreddit, is the heart of the problem.

He implied it by placing it next to "islamic terrorist apologists" in his sentence and gave both equal emphasis. Context is key, language is powerful.
> Someone else may want a system that is fair and by-the-book in all situations.

It is utterly unreasonable to expect or desire everything to be "by the book" all the time. If you do, you'll be sorely disappointed with the real world.

Your particular example actually works against your argument. The "minor procedural errors" were likely discovered and exploited by highly compensated lawyers who make a living negotiating with the "fair" rules. The real problem for both cases is getting arrested in the first place. Both actors likely spent a miserable night in jail. Could a little discretion from the police involved have averted the misery, expense, and absurd waste of resources grinding the gears of the criminal justice system over nothing much at all? I think so.
I shouldn't have to read the code to be able to basically reason about what my app is doing. I don't necessarily want to know EVERYTHING, but I want to know the basics of what's going on.

I'm curious about animals other than humans. Once I was waiting for a call by a window, there was a generous spider on the other side. As I'm very afraid of spiders, I was looking at it while waiting for that call to arrive, it was very calm, barely moving. As soon as the call showed on the screen, silent mode on, no sound or vibration, the spider got completely mad, moving around like crazy so I moved away and the spider stopped moving again. I did experiment moving closer and away repeatedly with the same result. So maybe spiders are sensitive to that frequency?
I've been compiling some notes on exactly this topic for the past few weeks, your question prompted me to post them here: http://dubhrosa.blogspot.com/2016/07/how-to-dive-into-largec...

TL;DR: don't "dive" in, figure out the inputs and outputs and work from the outside in; make lots of notes as you go; don't browse the code aimlessly, write down a question you want to answer and focus on that, then write down the answer when you think you've got it; don't get too hung up on the editor/IDE; possibly controversial/YMMV: turn off syntax highlighting; page through a file from beginning to end spending 5 seconds per screen when you open it for the first time.
Same here, we have no delivered messages since yesterday at 17.00 GMT-3. Contacted Sendgrid support about this because we're having a lot of registered users that cannot activate their accounts.
Sounds good.

I had the experience, when I talked to the right people, the word got around rather quick, but it's hard to find those "right people".

I'll look that I get this 2-3 days a week stuff fixed the next months and then I'll look further :)

Thanks for your advice.

I can tell you what not to do; I really mean this. Don't drink. At least not for a while.

It could lead to suicidal ideation. Then it's possibly a literal death spiral. You're depressed that you don't get anything done (hobbies, side project, etc). This makes you more depressed. You don't get anything done. This compounds the feelings of trapped/existential worthlessness. Eventually you might come really close to suicide. No booze.
"Ooh, lots of people like this thing. It's popular."

That is where the real asshats are, i wonder how youtube is dealing with this.
Since this question has come up so many times in the thread, my take is that FP64 and FP16 won't be as good at the GP100. If TITAN X is based on the consumer parts, it misses out on the GP100's FP improvements.

From Anandtech's GTX1080 review page2: As a result while GP100 has some notable feature/design elements for HPC – things such faster FP64 & FP16 performance, ECC, and significantly greater amounts of shared memory and register file capacity per CUDA core – these elements aren’t present in GP104 (and presumably, future Pascal consumer-focused GPUs).

This requires confirmation though, it depends on whether it uses the consumer chip or the HPC chip.

Edit: AT has an article up http://www.anandtech.com/show/10510/nvidia-announces-nvidia-...

They think it's likely a consumer card, so lower FP16 and FP64 perf. Should be a gaming monster though

Grain of salt / what works for others won't work for you / etc.

Don't leap back to school without carefully vetting whatever program has caught your attention. A lot of hoop jumping, and a lot of curriculum that's a decade out of date (or more) out there these days. I've tried to go back a few times, and it's been a complete waste of time/money.

Read Pressfield's "The War of Art." It's cheap, it's short, and it's helpful. There are a few passages that don't quit hit home, but it does one thing really well. It gives you the kind of internal vocabulary you need to get out of the "I'll do it tomorrow" sort of procrastination. "Tomorrow" is really dangerous thinking when there's not an actual deadline. You'll be saying tomorrow for years at a time, without actually moving the needle.

Move the needle every day. Do -something- that counts as forward progress. Momentum goes a long way. Track what you're doing. "What gets measured gets improved" sort of thing.

Be honest with yourself. What have you done that makes you think you should be more than just another office peon? Put in the work. Stop wishing. Earn it.
We can all have different experiences.

Good software takes strategy, UX, visual design, solution architecture, software development, QA, DevOps, post-launch support, KPI monitoring & analysis, marketing... and probably a few other skill sets to really have it thrive.

The trouble with many open source projects is that they are one-man endeavors, and the person who started it cares more about control than quality outcome. "This is MY pet project..." is a horrible mentality to take when shopping for a partner.

The moment the dev thinks, "Gosh, I'd rather spend my free time watching a baseball game than making those 50 changes the UX guy asked me to make... especially since all I really wanted from him was a color pallet..." that's about when the partnership dissolves. (Misunderstanding about the different areas of expertise intentionally included.)

One person can't think time is worth more than a teammate's. Good software requires compromise and horse trading and a lot of planning.

You typically need money to keep everyone interested.

Ask HN: Why isn't there an anonymous communications platform on the blockchain?
It seems like there is a great need in the world for an anonymous message board (like reddit, HN, etc.) build on a blockchain that prevents it from being shut down. A sort of communications protocol for people to use without fear of moderation or limitation of free speech, other than the downvotes of the other users.
> Most of our current stacks just happen to be written in it.

Sure, there's nothing special about the languages themselves, but _currently_ C and C++ are the foundation for (almost) all other languages. In theory you could rewrite llvm (or use a different complier), but I don't see that happening any time soon. That's why I call it bedrock, because it would be very hard to change.

(Though, I do wonder when llvm will stop depending on Python 2 :)
