We also had weird CCITT Group 4 issues, because of someone trying to be extra smart and convert TIFF to PDF without a recompress (PDF supports Group 4 compression too, so you can turn a Group4 TIFF into a Group4 PDF by just swapping the header!)

I didn't mean it was definitely the same company, just a similarly annoying TIFF issue.

> I'm used to javascript enough to think in advance

I don't consider it a foresight issue. I'm a believer in putting the burden on the caller not the callee. If I expect 0 and you have "0", it's your job to call parseInt(), not my job to branch out some if statements for type checking and coercion. For a few reasons:

1) debugging someone else's code is a lot more time consuming than debugging your own

2) actually fixing a bug in someone else's code means a pull request to someone who may not actively maintain that code

3) the docs are simpler to write and easier to read.

It's my only pain point with the JS community. The "give me whatever and I'll see if I can handle it for you" mentality:

function doStuff(a, b, c) {

if (!c && b instanceof Function) {
c = b;
}
c()
}

"`doStuff` takes 2 or 3 arguments, depending on what you feel like giving it."

I'd rather be expressly told what to give you than try to read a wall of if statements in both the docs and your code.
Right. My point was that the parent poster said 'if it can't get from A to B then it's not autonomous', but the meaning of can/can't is rather complicated in practice.

While it's not wrong for a manager to try to make his/her employees happy, I think the parent covered it when he/she mentioned the Orwellian aspect of it. My other fear would be my employer deciding to see me out the door much more quickly if they found out that I was looking for another job.

"middle class" is defined but the cohort of wages around the median. By definition, were it to disappear, exactly half the population will be above and half will be below its bounds. It is solely a measure of distribution of wealth not absolute wealth. In recent years more people have risen up out of it. And in many of the past 40 years, more have fallen down out of it. necessarily.

Likewise in the last 40 years, the US per capita GDP has risen close to 70% while the median income has risen less then 20%. But the problem of declining social mobility and rising inequality is not remotely unique to the US.

At least as disturbing is the resultant problem of the steady rise and now mainstreaming of politically extreme views in several western countries in (including the current presidential race obviously). I suggest the economic underpinnings of this problem are issues that we really ought to look at objectively rather than waving the flag and insisting we live in the best of all possible wolds.

A well made digital font file is a lot more than pictures or even vectors of letters. There's a whole bunch of hinting and even a virtual machine with opcodes for tweaking how letters appear at particular pixel sizes and in combination with surrounding letters. A well made font file really is a compiled software program with built-in assets that someone sat down and developed and debugged, not unlike a full game or an app.

I haven't benchmarked them comparatively, but when I benchmarked and profiled VoltDB there was very little time spent on CAS failures according to flight recorder. It could be the profiler is a wrong so maybe instrumenting makes more sense just to fully prove the point.

A single queue is only being asked to handle low hundreds of thousands of events per second which isn't that much. This occurs because there is substantial (for some definition of substantial) work associated with each task. If you are looking up a value in a hash map then yes it matters, but if you are doing something more substantial it doesn't matter. The research is definitely interesting and it solves real world problems, but I don't think you necessarily need to move to groups of input task queues directly.

If you look at the graph it's at five million operations/second and 1 CAS with two threads. If you aren't going to push more than 1 million ops through a single queue/core I think you will be fine.

The best printer decision I ever made was to quit buying disposable inkjets and purchase a cheap Brother laser printer instead.

I've had it for about 8 years now and it's still going strong. I don't print much (which is why the inkjets kept clogging up stopped working), but about 2000 pages later, it's only on its second toner cartridge and will probably not run out for years.

I'm kind of hoping that it breaks so I can replace it with a color laser, but it's been extremely reliable.

The Pix example looks like a cinemagraph. They can be really neat and beautiful. There is a popular subreddit, /r/cinemagraphs, and other various google results. Maybe those are examples of what you could accomplish with Pix - but surely you would still need some manual touchup to make it loop perfectly as it should.
A paraphrased quote I faintly remember from one of the original creators of Rogue(which, of course, passed through a number of different hands before it became the game we know today): "It's easy to make a new kind of game, it's much harder to make an existing game better."

It's a deceptively simple piece of wisdom, but it goes a long way to explaining some of the outcomes of the business. AAA-scale development is riddled with stories of brute forced effort on every front - attempts to chase after quality without being able to define it in positive terms, resulting in dozens of retakes on the same concept. Smaller studios, being less encumbered by the usual organizational overheads, are much better prepared to plan and focus themselves exclusively around a single facet of the work and align all the other pieces around that. At the extreme end you get the solo developer, who generally produces something radically imbalanced and unmarketable, but with just a few team members, major issues get smoothed out.

The risk that comes with any team change is that things don't get smoothed out in quite the same way as before - the conversations, timelines, and conventions shift around, so the pieces all get resolved slightly differently with tangible impacts on the result. Rob Pardo working on World of Warcraft, Rob Pardo working on Hearthstone, and Rob Pardo at his new venture all might as well be different designers. What will make the difference is in whether the team coordinates well. For an example of how it can flop, see Flagship Studios[0].

Either I can fully rely on the system to get me from point A to point B, or I have to fully concentrate on driving. People aren't robots - they can't go from half-assed sorta-paying attention to a split-second life-saving reaction.
The results remind me of older special effects or manual brushing in Photoshop... they are not very natural and not very good. Beeing myself also a photographer: Don't do this to your photos.

If you aren't using a whitelist, and the URL handling is relying on the underlying platform and not application code, than a new URL scheme takes no changes to the application code.

I only saw the grass blowing scene in the main video and was like, "what do all these people mean about it being creepy?". That's some shit right there though.

Imagine looking back at your younger years from your pixel hammock overlooking the digital sunset, and you see a picture like that... now you're depressed because you remembered the physical world as being so beatiful compared to the digital world, esp after the big virus slowdown of 2251, but now you think "it must have been a creepy world after all".
You can see a lot of things in this repository, except Machine Learning. Why is this in front-page ?
I don't see why they have to do this in userspace at all. If they did:

* allocate read/write buffer

* JIT instructions into it

* change mapping to read/execute

* run the JITted code

Then the kernel manages flushing the data caches on the mapping change, and Mono gets to wrap a Somebody Else's Problem field around it. It sounds like they are instead:

* allocate read/write/execute buffer

* JIT instructions into it

* manually flush relevant data caches (with an assumption that the cache line size is constant)

* run the JITted code
This is somewhat interesting, but relies on the all too common tautological device of "hustle," a quasi-magical activity whose details are usually elided over.

Start a small company. "Hustle" diligently for a while. Profit. Repeat. Now you have a large, successful company.

What makes a successful company? "Hustle." What is "hustle"? Why, it just means "working hard at doing all the things that make a company successful." It's a perfectly circular definition.

Proposal: always avoid the word "hustle." Instead, talk about specific actions and decisions that led to success in particular cases.

Balance is a weird aspect in most Blizzard games (as well as in any truly good game), infact it's the artfully constructed imbalance that makes them truly great.

Starcraft 2 is a great example for deconstructing this design philosophy (while ironically Starcraft 1 is a great example of the complete opposite), Blizzard have intentionally and constantly changed the balance of the game and create new imbalances so the meta would evolve and be fluid by forcing players to adapt, change, and find the imbalances and find ways to deal with them.

The art of most video games is not to create perfect balance but to create multiple subtle imbalances that can be discovered and overcome this in effect what creates the meta of the game and without a living meta games often can become stale and boring.

Making a mathematically balanced game is easy, making an imbalanced game that is still interesting is an art form.

This is what sets a few games apart from the rest, games like LoL and Starcraft are a great example of the "imbalanced by design" distilled to an art form.

Hearthstone is also imbalanced by design to both create a fluid meta, as well as to push the progression both the in-game progression and the out of game monetization progression.

Not just that, the ISA usually requires that a cache invalidation instruction be issued regardless of whether the chip's coherency will automatically detect and invalidate it.

In cases such as this post, it is perfectly valid for the silicon engineers to say that its the software's fault for not adhering to the ISA.

> The Playstation 4 isn't a AMP machine because programming the Cell was so hard.

The PS4 could be an AMP design if you consider the (closely coupled) GPU a processor.

It doesn't require the same gymnastics as the PS3 though because both the main processor and GPU are more capable. The SPUs were required to perform computation that the anemic PPU could not do as well as fill in where the pre-unified shader model GPU was unable to keep the pace.

Memory was shared on the PS3 but, from the SPUs, required explicit put and fetch operations.
>Then there is the issue that most people, left to their own devices, will eat too much of sugar and too little of the other two.

Yep. I'm pretty sure the reason low carb diets work is because they eliminate most of the processed junk that people like to binge on. It doesn't really have anything to do with carbs.
1 gallon honey over 3 months is about 11 teaspoons of sugar equivalent.

That's precisely the danger that the whitelist is supposed to guard against. Just because the underlying platform can handle a URL type doesn't mean that it's safe for your software to accept that URL type. Using a blacklist instead of a whitelist means that what should be a safe update of the OS your software runs on can suddenly cause a security vulnerability in your app, even if you properly blacklisted every potentially-vulnerable URL scheme at the time your software was written.
>Homogenous, largely white, largely male, largely safe people are not going to detect the problems the author appears to be implying are going untreated.

What you said was both racist and sexist. You're saying that a group of people (based on race and sex) are "not going to ..." do something. Speaking in generalizations using these classifications is generally regarded by most folks as racist/sexist.

It can be tricky though. You might be right, but you'll still be called out for it. For example, the peoples of eastern asia are statistically less tall than their counterparts in western europe. Nevertheless, "asians are shorter than europeans", is still a racist statement.

Unless you can see, as well as explain, how the generalizations you're making benefit the conversation, it's probably best to avoid making those types of statements in the first place.

Racism itself might be "wrong", but that doesn't mean you can't be racist and still be "right" in your assertions. That's the tricky part.

Don't want to be pedantic but the article was discussing how far you can "drive on empty" and parent post stated that the warning over driving on reserve in said article is FUD spread by mechanics.

The stated reason may be wrong but it's not advisable to often drive below reserve (on hot days, in many modern cars).

As I stated before, I agree with you that driving up to fuel reserve is usually fine but I would not routinely drive on reserve.

The article disclaimer we are discussing:

> That said, driving on empty can also do damage to your vehicle. If you do run out of gas, you can do damage to your catalytic converter, which may then need to be repaired or replaced. Even the simple act of driving with a low amount of fuel in your tank can damage your fuel pump...
Maybe Hustle is like a heuristic or genetic search. Trying random things picked up from other companies and mutating them and trying again until certain things seem to work based on metrics. Then doing more of those things.

You have to give it up that team: A lot of people complained about how simple Hearthstone is compared to Magic, but the reality is they did a pretty good job in creating accessible card game that works on multiple platforms.

I certainly have my criticism for the game such as the slow card releases, RNGfiesta, and lack of QOL updates, but ultimately the game is really well put together.
It seems like an exaggeration, but it's not. Your taste buds really do adjust over time.

I used to drink soda like water. That's just how we were raised(badly). A two liter a day of coke or mt dew. Tasted awesome to me. I loved it. In high school I decided I was tired of being sick and quit drinking soda.

I drank some of my boyfriend's coke recently just to see how it was. Just one sip. It was utterly disgusting. The weird thing is I can still clearly recall how I used to like it and think it was refreshing. In memory, it tastes good. But now that my taste buds have adjusted, ughhhh. Nasty.
Honestly I would if not for the fact that backend interviews always test Crack the Coding Interview style data structures & algorithms knowledge, which I have no interest in spending my limited spare time preparing for (I didn't major in CS).
Those were not deleted scenes. It was a mashup of clips that actually aired, with a few outtakes thrown in.
I think you misunderstand how much time and focus is spent on trivial problems. Somebody already replied to this, but I will add more on the same note.

1 If some scientist finds a way to save a minute per instance of brushing your teeth, and if there is no difference in quality and cost, that is 600 million+ minutes saved every day in the US alone.

2 If some scientist finds a way for nocturnal people to contribute to society like other people, that is surely on the same magnitude as 1.

3 If some scientist finds some way to cut 10% of time on inspecting welds, it is surely a huge boost to the economy.

This is of course not meant to endorse situations where the quality drops. E.g. "If one cent is saved per unit of milk produced, I can buy a new yacht!"
It turns out that age matters a hell of a lot, independent even of experience. Teenagers are horrific insurance risks.

A provisional license offers both supervised training and effectively delays entry into the unsupervised insurance pool by a year.

After this, location (e.g., ZIP Code, in the US) and miles driven are the biggest predictors. Latter are why insurance companies will do almost anything to get ahold of odometer readings.
