Yes, the big 80's/90's action-sci-fi, especially the ones with Arnold, were so god-damned entertaining. There are obivously lots of smaller sci-fi that's cool & entertaining as well, but with the big 80's/90's action-sci-fi, you get your money's worth.
Please don't suggest adding noise to electric cars. There is a danger that a politician or regulator will take the idea seriously.

Probably even quicker than an adult from my point of view. But then again, computers were much simpler in my childhood days. As an aside: It still bugs me that I don't have anymore access to this kind of fearless, joyfull learning today.
Ah right, I had one bad experience. If on booking.com, I expect an apartment to be an apartment building (meaning: loads of apartments and a reception). It seems difficult to see the difference on booking.com. I booked an apartment where it was really like an Airbnb. Meaning: call this local number. Fortunately they had whatsapp as well. This in Europe, were finally I can call to my own country from elsewhere in Europe, but calling to the local country is still crazy expensive (special rate for mobile phones -- which small companies often use).

Unlike Airbnb the apartment did want me to pay the tourist tax. Strangely, I paid a bit less than what booking.com said I should've. I mentioned it but the guy ignored it (oh well).

Usually I do check around (see if I can find a cheaper rate by booking directly).

This surely is an off-topic on HN.
Even if counts could be made faster, at scale you'd probably still want to avoid counting anything that can be pre-calculated.

We use something similar to the trigger-based method they describe, tho have found that a lot of updates to count table inevitably ends with deadlocks. So instead of updating a count value, we always insert a new count of 1 or -1, and use summing to calculate the total count as needed. A background task is responsible for continually squashing the count values.
Did we read the same post?

That's because React isn't designed for server-rendering. It's able to do it, but if you expect the same performance as as traditional template engines you're going to have a bad time.
Why do people need to drag their personal opinions into business matters?

Demanding someone gets fire/removed just because they have a different political opinion than you is ridiculous.
Right, there are two questions: "What should I invest in?" and "How much do I need to save?".

In answering the first question inflation-adjusting is useless because inflation hits all investments equally, but in answering the second you do need to adjust for inflation.

This doesn't belong on HN. People should be allowed to make their political choices as they please & as is their right to do so. It isn't YC voting in the election and YC doesn't compel people to vote a certain way.
Specially when coupled with the possibility to live connect to a production instance and do all sorts of monitoring and reports.

Of course, one needs to take care of the respective secure access. :)
"Why should random companies get to legally print knockoff Mickey t-shirts just because enough time has passed?"

Because that was the deal on copyright. Protection in exchange for release into the public domain. Extending copyright is a really shitty way for them not to stick to their end of the deal.

It is interesting, nonetheless, that the past two years have been the best on record for hotels, as far as their occupancy rate is concerned. (http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/2016/10/hotels-occupancy-r...)
Yes and no. I've been trying out their tools and whilst they do help a bit, the mileage varies and integration is quite invasive if you want decent results.
>Thiel, a non-employee (a “part-time partner”), is directly supporting Donald Trump at a massive scale — over a million dollars! — after we’ve learned even more of Trump’s horrendous statements, positions, and past actions than we could’ve ever imagined.

I'm not sure but there is no mention of voting anywhere in the article.

Nobody has a problem with whomever Thiel is voting for or wants to restrict his ability to vote in anyway.

This isn't issue and you pretending to be merely derails the discussion.
I don't think it was booking.com, but I had something similar happen to me in Japan. My wife picked out a nice-looking hotel on one of those aggregate sites, and I went to one of the sites that had the listing for it. I even double-checked the address to be sure.

After booking, my wife noted that the email they sent referenced an apartment instead of the hotel. Sure enough, it was different... It was across the street!

I got instructions to go to the other side of Akihabara, up a few floors, and get a key from some office there.

In the end, we chose to pay for the first day of the "hotel room" and cancel the booking, going to a real hotel instead.
That's blatantly false. Companies like Uber, Lyft and Didi are dramatically harming the taxi business all over the world. They wouldn't have to expand that industry one dollar to be unicorns. Those new businesses are unicorn businesses built primarily - but not exclusively - by taking market share from taxis and similar services. When Uber first hit $1 billion in valuation, it wasn't expanding the market for taxi services, it was acting as a superior option for early adopters and stealing customers from taxi and black car services. Uber has decimated (prices are down 75%+ in a few years) the medallion market in NYC as one very loud example of the destruction it's causing to the taxi industry there as it takes market share. If it was primarily market expansion that Uber was using to create value, the taxi industry wouldn't be collapsing across the US.

Netflix used to be a unicorn at one time. It didn't primarily expand the rental market to become a unicorn, it rather rapidly destroyed Blockbuster and thousands of other rental stores by providing a better service. If it was primarily expanding that market, Blockbuster would still be around. Today it's not expanding total TV viewing time, it's proceeding to harm cable, tv networks, traditional tv programming, ESPN, HBO, etc etc.

Tesla - also once a unicorn - isn't expanding the automobile market. They've been directly taking sales from BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Lexus, Audi, etc. The success of the S sedan is coming out of the high end luxury car sales segment. Their 3 sedan will continue that process. That's why those other companies are so freaked out by Tesla's arrival and relative success. If Tesla were primarily expanding the market and not stealing market share, the competition wouldn't be reacting the way they are.

How to create an echo chamber: the guide

Why are people so aversive of practical discussion? If not Facebook (which most people use, unlike specific discussion sites) then where? I admit that not all Facebook debates about politics are very productive but they need to be held somewhere.

I understand this article is supposedly aimed at non-Americans, but the point stands. No matter who is elected it will have consequences for all.
It's probably not the same people but it's funny (in kind of a sad sort of way) that you have people arguing for deregulation because you can vote with your wallet if you're morally opposed to something, and for everyone keeping their political opinions out of business at the same time.

Edit: Nevermind. I just went and read some of your other comments out of curiosity and you're a libertarian. It's exactly the same people.
HN admins - if you're going to shut this one down as well, could I appeal to you to at least give a reasoning why? Killing posts like these without for example dang providing at least a quick reasoning why leaves a bad taste in my mouth...
The "sickness" the article complains about is emphatically not that one, hence the word "Real" in the article's title.
We don't need Disney to open-source their software. We need Volkswagen and various bogus companies to open-source the software of safety-sensitive material. Dangerous hardware, measurement tools (e.g. petrol stations, security cams), voting machines, droids... Disney's open-source is merely dry bread for the plebs: We'll take it but it's not advancing our situation.
While war certainly helped, even tortures and human exeriments advanced medical fields but I doubt electricity or capitalism came from war.
Peter Thiel's support for Trump seems instrumental and not an end-in-itself[1]. I disagree with it and think it's stupid. But if he was my business partner and told me that he had good reasons to think that the long-term utility of a Trump president outweighs the unpleasantness and negative side-effects then I would argue with him and try to talk him out of it. Thinking about it in this way, shunning him seems to be an extreme thing to do.

One thing that springs to mind for me in vanilla Minecraft: encountering a cool cave. It might have a mob spawner in there, or a lava pool maybe with some diamonds that will require careful mining, or an "old" mineshaft. The emergence here I guess is that the cave feels "real", with lava in the depths and coal/iron higher up as rewards. I imagine that caves originally were an emergent factor from the world generation, then got their own hard coded cave-specific generation paths added to make something much more playable. Much like rogue-like games that have hard-coded rooms in them that are randomly spread through the dungeon, the caves have hard-coded set-pieces that can join together in new and interesting ways.

Elite is really primitive compared to today's games, but it had a huge galaxy to explore (even if all the systems were essentially the same 1-star-and-planet), then eventually you find out there are 8 such galaxies. It was fun to find good trade routes between the worlds, risk going to a slightly more lawless planet to beef up your credits or ranking. The emergence here would be the fact that the economic type of a planet was dependent on its seed value, and together with other nearby generated planets created "trade routes". These routes were not coded into the game, they emerge as a property of the way the procedural generation works out.

I think the problem with making so much procedural is that it misses the point that the game should be fun to play. What's the game-play difference in having random trees or dependent on sunlight and rain? In the end, they are just a bunch of trees :-P
Go somewhere else. If someone asks why, explain that open office environments are known to harm concentration and flow for many people, and that in order to be maximally productive you choose to work elsewhere for some hours.

What does this have to do with the submission?
Alembic has been a game changer (efficient geometry cache, thread safe hierarchy access, etc.), OpenEXR has been a major improvement to the industry, OpenSubdiv is very cool but definitely not a game changer.
Stepping into Development
This is a disgrace to punish someone just because they have different view. Kudos to Y Cominator to not cave in. Peter Thiel is free to support and donate to whoever candidate he feels strong about. If you don't like it, donate to the other candidate. Dragging it into business and people life is so Mccarthyism.
>The reason why we don't feel that way about the real world, is because the real world doesn't just have "remix procedural."

Coming from a non-game developer this may be completely out of reason, but it occurs to me, what if you could determine the fit of creatures and evolve them in accordance with their environment? Perhaps not a lot of generations would be required to get a plausible, not completely random-looking scenario. Granted, we might still be talking about thousands of iterations, and so this would be too computationally demanding for a game design such as No Man’s Sky. But perhaps for a pre-computed (vast) world it would be viable.

Agile documentation best practices
Hey Justin! Thank you very much for your time on writing this great comment. You made a good point here so I'm going to follow your advice around those tips.

At the moment, the only thing I know for sure is WHY I'm building it. Curiously, I did read some time ago your excellent post about the "The freedom ladder" (https://justinjackson.ca/freedom/). I realised I needed to startup from the bottom. I'd say I'm in the 2nd or 3rd step of the freedom ladder, so I aim to: Make a small project, Release for free, Help people and Build my audience. Obviously, it would be nice to get some revenue later, so I can dedicate my full time to help others with my project, but that's not a priority for me at the moment.

I'll continue working not defining those points. I'll also definitely check your book and related new interactive course.

Great thanks!

Rafa
I understand Marco's point and I agree with him but I must say for once I find his post not very well written.
This still shouldn't be on HN. I'm not from the US and I am totally fed up with both pro and anti Trump/Clinton propaganda that spews out to cover all of the world, and I don't want to see it here, at least particularly when it's just "stories about politics, or crime, or sports" and particularly not "evidence of some interesting new phenomenon." as the HN guidelines put it.

I'd rather fight for Thiel's right to say and work for his opinion.

FSearch, a fast file search utility for GNU/Linux
I am not sure if it is ridiculous. It depends. It's about a line that everyone has to draw and to set. And this also what Marco is trying to mention in his post I guess.

Let's take a more extreme example from history, just for pointing out that there is a line: I hope we could agree that supporting the NSDAP is as far over such a line as imaginable.

Not comparing anyone in this context with the NSDAP, just pointing out that there is such a line, and hiding behind "political free opinion" doesn't help to avoid hard decisions.

This is better than turning it down - just ignore it for the non-entity of an award it is. I wish all "winners" would do the same and we could get on with celebrating the things that matter.
Yes it is but there is some irony that HN are ok to defend Theil based on freedom of speech but they're are not extending the same courtesy to Marco for criticizing them about it. Seems HN maybe as thin skinned as Trump.
The problem is that Trump doesn't offer much in policy, even when it comes to policy he actually talks about and this doesn't just affect the things he wants to keep secret from ISIS. He also contradicts himself quite a lot and when he touches upon policy in his talking points it's often times questionable whether he's even aware of the actual policies he's referring to and to what degree.

There is just no basis for an actual discussion or comparison on policy details.
Thiel is toxic. YC would do well to end their relationship with him, as well.

Right Question to Ask? Should We Invest, or Where Should We Invest in IoT?
Thiel's support of Trump shows that Thiel is a sexist and a racist. If YC wants to attract startups with founders who aren't white men, this is a problem. If startups in YC want to attract employees who aren't white men, this is a problem.

Ask HN: Do you read all the other comments before adding yours?
When adding comments to an HN post do you go over all the posted comments to make sure you're not repeating anyone else, and that you're actually contributing something to the discussion. I find myself doing this all the time, and I end up not adding anything at all because it feels redundant.

Doesn't convince me. Top bar is the biggest problem and they are "working on it"™ (we all know what does it mean) and "it will be landed in Chrome soon", when Chrome is not only browser in the world of mobile devices. Also from this response I see they want to make Chrome the new IE (if problem is solved in Chrome - it's solved), and it's frustrating.
