Don't buy the Vive for virtual desktop unless you don't care about your money. I have the Vive and it's awesome for games. Virtual desktop is cool too, but it's not something you want to use for any length of time. It's like looking at your phone stretched out on a 50 foot screen. VR videos are about the only use. Anything else is maybe just a glimpse into the future. The resolution is too low right now.
When millions of apps are competing for the 20~30 spots on the mobile phone screen, demand will define the scale of supply, which will destine to shrink. But I disagree with the word "doom". The author use it to attract eyeball mainly.
Well done for publishing this! As I'm sure you know intellectually (but probably find extremely difficult to actually believe), telling people about it has drawn them closer to you, not pushed them away. There's so much here that resonates with me, and examining my reaction to your writing, I feel more inspired to discuss my own anxiety with the people close to me.
Thanks for the feedback, I updated the main post with a little bit of information regarding the site.

Once you've got the GKE cluster stood up (two clicks or so), you don't need to care which cluster you are on. The gcloud CLI remembers whatever you set.

It's very hands-off. And if you ever do want to take more direct control, you've still got the option of doing more or all of it on your own.

Not quite. The GPL ensures that GPL software remains free to audit and modify in perpetuity.

It says nothing about the cost of the liscense to the end user of the software. It's confusing, because you may think "I have the source, I can just compile it for free". But the reason that you have the source (and the binary, in some cases), is that most GPL software is also offered free of charge.

As a side note, it's more practical to get usage of a piece of software with the restrictions of the GPL used, if the software is also available free of cost.

Damn it, we need a different word.
No activity. I deactivated all my settings years ago, I'm glad it hasn't magically reset.
A "possibility for a mode" dilutes the artistic message of a game. If you don't like what the authors did, I would suggest doing something that presents a different viewpoint that you find valuable. (And that's not a cop-out--there are loads of indie developers doing exactly that, and a lot of those games are awesome.)
Let me point out two alternatives:
Cython which is very Pythonic looking, and compiles to C and produces amazing projects including UVLoop which is a drop-in module for asyncio for Python 3 that will speed up asyncio:

https://magic.io/blog/uvloop-blazing-fast-python-networking/

https://github.com/MagicStack/uvloop

Note how GitHub claims it's all mostly Python code ;) That's because Cython like I said looks Pythonic.

There's other examples, but I think this is one of the one's that come to mind the most to me.

There's also D which is called Native Python by some (unlike projects like Go and Rust, you can have your Object Oriented Programming (optional like in C++), and concurrency / parallelism too and other goodies like built-in unit testing, when you compile your code your unit tests are ran but not included in the final binary):

http://bitbashing.io/2015/01/26/d-is-like-native-python.html

https://blog.experimentalworks.net/2015/01/the-d-language-a-...

If it's been more than a few years since you've evaluated D you might want to check it out again, it may be worth your time. D is a language I knew about for years, and recently is where I've come to appreciate it for it's many features.

D has things like array slicing, [OPTIONAL] Garbage Collection, an amazing Web Framework called Vibe.d with it's own template engine called Diet-:

http://vibed.org/

https://vibed.org/blog/posts/introducing-diet-ng

Things I like is Vibe.d is not just a Web Framework but a full networking stack too, also it supports Pug / Jade like templates (see Diet-NG) you make and compiles them when you compile your project, so your website runs off a native executable using fibers instead of threads. Vibe.d is undergoing a period where the core is being rewritten to where it is more compartmentalized so that you pick and choose which parts you need, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, layout engine and other goodies, there's even a templating library whose syntax is based around eRuby called Temple (though the syntax can be tweaked) that supports Vibe.d:

Some bug report:

I couldn't comment (I wanted to post a test spam comment), plus the "Subhears" and "About" links in the comment window wouldn't work.

IMHO needs polish and a sound spam strategy, but you may get an interesting feed if you get some traction, good luck and congratulations!
So currently you do not need an account to post a reply to a comment but do you think I should make it so you do not need an account to comment in general?
Generally speaking, if there's a step that isn't clearly logically justified in your proof, the proof is considered wrong. So in most "normal" proof systems, this wouldn't really be a valid technique (that is, the moment someone tried to formalize it they'd run into this roadblock, and if it wasn't trivial to surmount the original proof would be thrown out). That said, there are some sequent calculi where you can do a lot of work in each step, so it might be really hard to figure out whether the step was valid; but I believe cut elimination theorems in those calculi basically assert that you can turn any valid "large step" into a (possibly very long, but finite) sequence of "small steps".

From a sociological perspective, since most mathematicians don't use formal methods for most of their proofs, there can of course be proofs that may be right, but that nobody can understand well enough to verify. The ongoing famous example here is that of Shinichi Mochizuki: http://www.nature.com/news/the-biggest-mystery-in-mathematic....

Anyway, neither of these seem too relevant to P vs. NP.

I really wish this actually showed my activity. This is a partially honest, very limited version of my real google account activity.

I would love to data mine what Google has on me. I'm sure I'll get a copy someday. Almost everything on the internet eventually is released via acquisitions, subpoenas, hackers, etc...
But its going to just burn up CPU and probably be pretty slow to do H.264 in the CPU without any hardware acceleration right?

Or maybe the H.264 gets handled by the JS side and the web assembly just handles weird formats that are mostly not high def video?

> Sure, you can run around causing mass chaos and deaths; but you can also do none of those things

No, you literally can't. You have to kill people en masse from the very start of the game. And, if you want to progress far enough to unlock the various features of the game, you have to do downright reprehensible things.

I've played, and enjoyed most of, GTA5 (though I think the developers, at this point, should fuck off with the faux-satire, they lost the plot a long time ago), but I understand why other people don't.

> this debate is a mirror of the vaccination debate

The two seem to be polar opposites to me. In the case of vaccines, you have thousands of years of history that demonstrates the danger of diseases and recent history showing how effective vaccines are. Those arguing against vaccines need to show serious harm caused before it would cancel out the benefits.

In the case of GMO foods, history argues against the technology. We know that non-GMO food is healthy. We have thousands of years of evidence to support that fact. The problems GMO are solving are on the producer's side, not the consumer's.

You can argue that the problem being solved is providing enough food to feed everyone and that history also shows the devastating effects of famine and starvation, but there are other ways to solve that problem that have none of the risks of GMO foods (less reliance on meats, for example, would make much more efficient use of our agricultural resources). Show me an alternative way of dealing with measles, flu, tetanus, hep and all the other illnesses we vaccinate that's even half as effective as vaccines and I'll concede that the two debates are similar.
Yes, exactly. Just plug USB-C into a hub that has the connectors that are popular this year. When new ports come out, replace the $20-40 hub.
> The author states that "diversity discussion is utterly broken", and I agree he focuses on race...

My point was that the response's studies focus exclusively on gender, not on race at all, making it not as applicable to the article had he spoken to race at all in his reponse. Instead, he says "people discriminate against both gender and race" and only backs up the "discriminate against gender" argument.
I was going to reply, you don't seem to be seeing the font that's on the page. The font they're using is a renamed copy of Baskerville eText, and it doesn't have an 'st' ligature. It does have 'ff' and 'fi', you can see a sample here: http://myfonts.us/td-JZwQMI

The css for the page enables ligatures however, and falls back to the browser's own serif; so you were probably seeing the ligatures from your own default font. I'm guessing Adobe Caslon Pro, because it's widely available and has a very distinct loop ligature for 'st'. http://myfonts.us/td-C4VrUX
It depends. I work with clients and their budgets. Leaving money on the table doesn't bother me because I want long term relationships. For example, I'm wrapping up a 2 year project this month. Built the MVP all the way to two profitable product lines for the client. Super happy about it. I like to see my clients succeed.

My focus is building solutions to business problems. I don't look at it as software but solutions. When you approach it that way people are more receptive to what you have to say.

I don't reveal amount earned but can't complain. I bill monthly, weekly or per project and it works. Forget hourly. Either way, Im raising my rates for 2017. Best of luck.
If the content will be deleted after 24 hours, what about the comments and all the discussion? I think this is not the case like Snapchat, which has been a chat/messenger app. Comments and discussion for certain contents needs to be preserve. If you are deleting the content after 24 hours for a clean interface, why not just remove the comment?

It's useful to think of the copies of BSD-licensed software as OO-style object instances.

Once the router company clones the source, it becomes this new code-base, that they can add to, without revealing those new changes. You are still allowed to make any changes you want to the original code-base, but:

1. That is not the code-base you want. You want the one running on your router.

2. You don't have all the build environment, and toolchain magic needed to produce a new binary blob for your router.

Also, blah blah DMCA.

As a former HVAC engineering student, I was quite caught by "ozone" in this headline. Sorry, I did not continue with that career for some reason, for good or for bad, now doing an IT job. This ozone thing was talked about almost everyday, not everyday then very often, throughout the four-year study. I think it is a good example of "We did something, so a disaster did not happen". Maybe, also we should learn that we cannot let some people to prove they can create a disaster.

Are you saying there are genetic modifications that do _absolutely nothing_ but add vitamins to food? I not an expert, but that's not my understanding of how DNA works.

99.9% of consumers don't know what to do with current ingredient lists except be vaguely confused by the long list of scary-sounding chemicals. We should probably still keep those.

> There's a "qualitative difference" between the crimes of all countries as all crimes are dependent on their specific geographies, culture, and people, which all invariably change.

That's a specious argument. There are differences between crimes of all cultures, and there are similarities. One huge difference is that rape videos are widely distributed and sold in India, without much social condemnation. That indicates a level of acceptance and social integration not present in most other countries. http://www.aljazeera.com/blogs/asia/2016/10/al-jazeera-purch...

The travel advisories are out there. Not just rape, but lewd acts and molestations. Are these travel advisories well founded? Maybe, maybe not. But the fact is that they exist.
> But Halfbrick as we once knew it has changed, and has been changing — according to sources — for years now. From the outside in Halfbrick has always existed as a static enduring example of success; living, breathing proof that Australia has a games industry worth believing in.

So many platitudes for a studio I've never even heard of that seems to only make generic mobile games.
I recently tried the PS4's remote play functionality. My friend in another city was able to play my bloodborne, which is a very timing-sensitive game, perfectly fine.

A few weeks ago my cousin ran games at 1080p on an EC2 GPU instance and used Steam's In-Home Streaming to play remotely and it worked perfectly fine.

I think the latency is now there, if you have a fast connection and live relatively close to the datacenter.

Once upon a time Turing Machines were my thing. But that was decades ago. Now I think I have a result that's interesting, following up on graduate school work I did way back when... but... reading such things as the P=NP prize problem definition I see that at least some terminology in the field has changed, or at least, concepts have been added. (Such as "language", if I remember rightly.) Can someone point me to sources that will allow me to translate Turing oldspeak into Turing newspeak, and vice versa?
I was a noob at the time and had assumed he was a minimum of 1 year experience better than me and really knew what he was talking about. He used great business terms and convinced the non-techies, too. In retrospect, it's a very obvious mistake. He convinced us the open source project that we based our business on for the 6 months before hiring him had limitations, but it turns out that the open source project was packed full of features, well polished, well designed, easily extensible, etc. and we spent 2 years catching up to where that product was, just in a different framework.

I fixed the 3 points you said. Also regarding the issue where you couldn't comment. I currently have it set to where you can only reply to a comment anonymously but I think that based on feedback people have given me I will be making it to anyone can comment. Also I am looking into the issue where Subhears and the About links won't open in the comment window.

Also regarding the spam strategy do you think passing it through a filter would work? Or should I implement a moderation system?

The non-use of pesticides can be a problem too - there was an outbreak of a dangerous E. coli strain in Germany 2011 due to a contaminated organic farm. (Interestingly, the E. coli in question had acquired a few extra genes encoding for the toxin from another E. coli strain, natural GM)

In the UK, degrees and individual scores are definitely not standardized.

The standard to achieve a given degree grade (e.g. Upper Second) varies between institutions.

As for individual scores, these are often not even on the same scale. Some universities use numerical scores; others use alpha/beta/gamma.

If you accept the above, but still believe that UK CS degrees are standardized, then it's likely you and I assign different meanings to the word 'standardized'.
This, a thousand times. The mess that is Plex sucks, a web browser tool which could play media files without all the drama would be a game changer for those of us who don't consume media through iTunes.
If a company only used external recruiters for any position above 100K it's going to cost them 15K+. More likely 25K. Now if they try on their own as well by posting jobs, hiring internal recruiters, network... Hiring is expensive.

I spent a lot of time playing the original XCOM on both playstation and PC. This is what made the game amazing. I would name the soldiers after friends, family members, and famous people that I admired. When one would get injured or killed I really cared. It also made approach the tactical part of the game with much caution. I would get really nervous when taking on some of the more dangerous missions. However, once I would get one of my soldiers fully trained and ranked up it was totally worth it!
I do the same in GTA V. I think its feeling of freedom and escapism is why games like No Man's Sky were appealing.

I used to clock hundreds of hours on Flight Sim 98, not necessarily learning how to fly (though that was fun too) but going to various cities in Flight Sim, checking them out in Encarta and doubling back to Flight Sim again.

Now that I'm older and financially capable of visiting these places, its pretty surreal. I hope the new AR/VR movement brings about these kind of experiences.
>The other angle is that humans got this good with way less training data and personal exploration.

I think you are underestimating how much training goes into a human. I would not mind seeing how a new born baby does against one of these AIs.
Recruiters take up to 20% of first year salary or more plus the time to retrain, a 10k dev is a cheap one.

"we need any sort of violence in order to regulate food. I a"

+ We need laws to regulate food esp. hygiene and sanitary standards. If you want to know why this is, then visit any less civilized place and look around. Restaurants are thin margin places - some of them will cut corners, do all sorts of stuff otherwise.

+ All laws need enforcement - and they are enforced with the threat of fines, confiscation, and ultimately the threat of violence.

For the same reason we need 'the threat of violence' to manage traffic, borders, and everything else.

The only time it's not obvious is when there is no physicality to the crime, i.e. fraud, corruption etc. but even then the 'threat of violence' is there when it comes to arrest/incarceration etc..
Coincidentally that's the kind of games I usually dislike, life is dull by itself; I need rush and adrenaline because that's the kind of thing my real life is missing.

But I liked portal 2, I actually finished it all in one single session, but it was because the story is thrilling, every puzzle different enough from the previous and makes me think, not because I could drop the controller and forget about it.

The most engrossing game I've played is The Last of Us on the PlayStation. Wow, it was literally the only time in my life that I stayed up into the early hours to get as far I could. So much depth and nuance in every chapter to build out a universe that definitely showed it took Naughty Dog years to develop.
Though today the battle spreads from codecs to adaptive streaming standards. Apple (as expected) wasn't eager to support MPEG-DASH / MSE. It's as if they just can't do without messing things up for everyone.
