It will not get to strategy in these games at all. I can already see the AI dominating any human player just by splitting army. Imagine a terran AI dropping at 4+ places at the same time, just 4-5 marines each. This can be done within the first 6-7 minutes and no human player will be able to hold. I know they limit the APM for AI but you can easily do such drop with very few APM if you simply react fast enough on damage events.

"Out of 617 ratings on glassdoor.com, fully 246 called themselves “very dissatisfied.” The number of employees considering themselves “very satisfied” was just 48. Some comments even suggest that executive meddling may be involved in the “very satisfied” scores, with one commenter saying “Joe Clayton (CEO) put us up to upgrading our score.” Another commenter called their time with Dish “...like a prison sentence.”
Solving toy problems in a limited domain is pretty important before you can tackle real world problems.
They used to make people sick. But we've adapted to watching screens, mostly. (First person shooters still make a lot of people ill, on regular TVs.) Plus, a grammar evolved (180 degree line of action, visual weights, etc) that allow experienced filmmakers to push the bounds of what's comfortable to watch.

Regular VR devs report (and I can corroborate) that you eventually lose your ability to get sick in VR. This extends to motion sickness in the real world; when I was experiencing a lot of nauseating VR, I no longer got nauseated by reading while driving, or on boats, etc. (Unfortunately your ability to get sick 'grows back' if you stop watching VR; the brain is rather plastic.)

Elementary doesn't strike me as a particularly good distro for dev. It's not that I've anything against it, but other than your personal preference in the DE (and Pantheon isn't without its charms) it doesn't seem to have much that's going to lift it over any other linux distro. Perhaps I'm missing something.

"It" doesn't do anything. But some of its fans conflate "prevents memory safety bugs" with "panacea", at least by implication, as I perceive it.

Besides, right now a lot of the "memory safety" of Rust has much more to do with selection bias (it is used primarily by people who are explicitly interested in using its safety features). When one uses exclusively (or almost exclusively) the "memory safe" features of the language, of course things implemented in it will be free of "memory safety" bugs. Rust helps make doing unsafe things explicit. It doesn't prevent one from doing unsafe things.

Here's how I see Rust: it's far and away already superior than C++ for a certain class of systems application programming (e.g. performant desktop/native application code that sits at the systems boundary). Rust code that seriously competes with C or C++ for "low level" systems programming is going to have to make use of plenty of Rust's "unsafe" constructs. If it gains traction "in the wild," my prediction is we'll start seeing plenty of "memory safety" bugs in that area. The question then is how easily they're spotted and rectified.
It is very very easy to create bias interview questions for programming. I've seen too often people ask a college homework assignment they worked on. Is using your path to the job a good proxy for finding diversity of thinkers?

Then the question is, how do you set it up to find people that solve problems differently?

The interview is just the start of the phase. How do you keep people who are talented but approach the problem differently? What keeps them from feeling like an outsider?

No. Just the opposite.

Having lived in Europe ... I was absolutely shocked at the dissonance between their elite and their plebes. It's laughably crazy.

It's so much, it's almost unbelievable.

Euros come from a historical situation wherein they hyper-powerful nobility ruled all.

They overthrew that - but the condescension still very much exists. Now - when you go to Oxobridge or a 'Grande Ecole' you're party of the elite, they go off and give each other the plumb jobs, protect each others careers and act like rulers.

Because even on the other side of the fence - the socialists - are led by intellectuals, not so much by 'the people' (i.e. labour) - both sides of the aisle are utterly out of touch.

Brexit itself should be a shock to no one who has the pulse of Europe.

It's only shocking to the disconnected chattering classes.

They consider anything anti-EU to be 'fringe' and 'far right' - when in fact about 1/2 of Europeans would dump the EU if given a chance. Even in Germany 48% don't like the EU - not to say they would dump it but they don't like it.
Except that some organ donation doesn't involve doing damage to the donor. Blood/marrow donations are different than 'solid organ' donation. A blood donation can save a life very cheaply and the recipient will live normally, without the lifelong costs/complications of carrying a donated solid organ.
I am more surprised that he wanted to go through YC. I can understand the appeal of YC for the inexperienced and unconnected, but this is like Sam or Jessica deciding to start a new startup and then joining a YC cohort.

Edit. Anyone want to explain why he would want to be part of YC? What can he possibly get out of YC for the equity expended?

In an off the cuff thought, I'd say issues related to to diversity in this age generally come from stereotypes or generalizations rather than ignorant or malicious thinking.

IE: In the work place, a hiring manager might think "This person comes from that place which doesn't 'usually' produce top talent... On the other hand, I have this other individual from a place that generally produces top talent." Don't forget that a hiring manager's job is pretty much to entirely mitigate risk - thereby perpetuating, intentionally or otherwise, lack of diversity.

That's no excuse, but I think lack of diversity should be a viewed as a symptom, not a disease. In the above example, I describe a symptom of a risk-management mindset - and if companies could find a way to give more trust to hiring managers, perhaps it would give them the freedom to hire more diverse candidates.

---

TL;DR Ask yourself: Do you think Lack of Diversity is a symptom of greater social/economic issues or is it a disease in that it is consciously/intentionally perpetrated?

It has never been an issue for me as I don't partake, but anecdotally, I've worked at 5-10 mid range (100-200) firms in Virginia and Illinois and while I have been provided many free beers at work, if anyone suggested a drug testing program they would have been laughed out of the building.

I even worked for a company that ran drug testing programs for the government and they did not drug test.
My gripe with Elementary OS is that it's too much like MacOS. It's dervied and feels boring and stale in the same way that MacOS does. If you're switching, do it with a bang, not a whimper.

Very poor journalism, Bloomberg.
Dang it. We bought the Samsung instead of LG, because of videos[1] that showed the LG exploding.

Top load models have a much large capacity than front loaders, but there are some serious challenges to overcome for these models that lack a central agitator column.

Despite being billed as "water saving", ours often has to repeat the setup for the spin cycle. It does this by dumping several gallons of water, sloshing the clothes around until it calculates an even load, then starting the drain+spin again.

If you are unlucky, this can happen multiple times. We are tipped off by the noise of the machine momentarily whacking into the surrrounding items in the laundry room.

It seems Samsung is offering "free repairs", but that makes me wonder if it's just a technician with a USB cable coming to reduce things like spin rate or make the machine even more likely to halt and prompt for intervention (ugh-- wet clothes are heavy).

So, here's the thing. You need to make an important sale. Is the best way to prepare for it to get more angry? Is quitting your job without having another lined up what you'd consider a winning move?

There are times where being angry actually helps, but they're a lot less common in the modern world. Usually, it will screw you over. (For example, getting angry in traffic is utterly useless.) Starting that argument because you're angry makes it unlikely that you'll actually persuade anyone.

You'll make a better case if you're calm about it and can think clearly. How do you do that? Meditation is one way.
An year ago I started dualbooting Elementary as my daily *nix OS. All was well, until one day, with no hardware change or OS update, the touchpad stopped working. I'm back to VMs now.

If I wasn't dualbooting I might have spent more than a day to figure out what happened - but I was too lazy and scrapped dualbooting.
I agree with you -- this requires first creating the equivalent of a pro poker player, and then adding SC2 mechanics and strategy on top.

I'm not sure if we've been watching the same show. I finished watching the first season this week, and Black Mirror does an amazing job of building characters and forming relationships in a short amount of time.

It does this well because the science fiction elements of the show are not the focus. They are merely instruments for driving very human narratives.

When you say It's shallow intellectually, but it doesn't even have any depth emotionally. At least with most other popular TV shows there's depth in terms of personal relationships. There's drama that's more emotionally interesting. I wish you would use an example so I can understand where you're coming from since I find myself completely on the other side of your comment.

I mean, obviously it's a system with problems. But it's an attempt to deal with the problem that the state can use the justice system in an arbitrary way to punish people it wants to go after for different reasons.
You can, but it is not easy, simple, or very user friendly.

It really depends on your market and software. For most software it doesn't make sense to bother with anything other than the most basic licensing system, but for some software it does. I sell quite a lot of software in China and India and I would not be able to do this unless I spent a lot of time and money on anti-cracking activities.
"As a smoker I have special interest. There is no archaeological evidence of cancer among aboriginal nations of Americas which cultures had a lasting tradition of smoking tobacco."

Well, as a past smoker I too have special interest. But also, as a logical person, I'd expect all you'd find of cancer in "archaeological evidence" of human remains are those which afflict bones. So you're not really making a case. Also:

I think the LZ family are all pretty intuitive --- just replace repeated sequences with a reference to where they occurred before. Even human languages have things like contractions, abbreviations, and acronyms. Thus it is, at least to me, somewhat surprising that LZ was only documented academically several decades after Huffman; perhaps it was thought to be too trivial? LZ can also be thought of as an extension of RLE.

In any case, an LZ decompressor fits in less than 100 bytes of machine instructions and a simple compressor can be implemented in not more than several hundred, all the while providing extremely high compression for its simplicity. It will easily outperform order-0 static or dynamic Huffman on practical files like English text, and would probably make a good assignment in an undergraduate-level beginning data structures/algorithms/programming course; yet it seems more popular to give an assignment on Huffman using trees, which is somewhat ironic since in the real world Huffman is implemented using bit operations and lookup tables, not actual tree data structures.

To give a trivial example, LZ will easily compress ABCDABCDABCDABCD while order-0 Huffman can't do much since each individual symbol has the same frequency.

>If even a single one does, that's decades of scot-free voter impersonation that can be done. It also assumes fraudulent voter registration hasn't already happened (!!) which is also unverifiable (particularly since states legally can't require voters to verify their citizenship).

Nothing you said here is true, why are you saying this? Parties can, and regularly do, challenge voter roles, make them appear in person and prove their citizenship and identity[0]. It's also untrue that states can't legally require voters to verify their citizenship, why are you trying to pass this misinformation as true?[1] Lastly, elections are left to the states and local governments - the federal government does not run them.

Again, past your deceit, there are legal ways to prevent, find, and challenge voter registration fraud. The way to prevent voter registration fraud is to prevent voter registration fraud, not try to disenfranchise minorities.

As to your claims these tactics aren't racist, I'm a believer in calling a spade a spade - so we'll have to disagree. But the facts are:

1. Republican party officials __have been found in court to research ways in which blacks vote, then crafting legislation to 'surgically' disenfrachise them__.
2. Republicans have been suing in order to rollback protections of the Voting Rights Act - you know, the act passed by congress by its champion Martin Luther King Jr.
3. Republican voter id laws have been getting struck down in court because they 'have a disproportionate and disparate impact on minority communities'.
4. Republican voter id laws have been empirically shown to disproportionately lower turnout among minority voters in studies[2]
5. Republican governors have been closing dmv's and cutting dmv hours in minority-majority areas, and instructing employees not to advertise or discuss the free ID's that courts have decreed must be available to voters.

I understand that it's fashionable to cry 'race card' every time evidence of racism is presented, but personally I'm of the belief that if something walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and swims like a duck - we should call it a duck.

If it makes you feel better, I don't believe that these Republicans are racist, I just think they implement racist laws because blacks largely vote democratic and they'd rather suppress them than actually do the hard work of outreach. But alas, it's largely useless to try and separate their intent from their actions - the end result is that they are seeking to disenfranchise voters based on their skin colors.

> virtually nothing worth paying for in the middle

I presume you know this, but an awful lot of those craft brands in the middle (including some of the Whistle Pig line) are made by the same distillery in Indiana. Which doesn't mean that they are bad, but it does disincline one to trust any of the puffery one reads on a label:

You become more aware of the unpleasantness of bad situations through meditation not less. You are just less reactive. In fact, you might take action much earlier on because things wouldn't have to reach a boiling point to make you really take note.

Darkened theaters are rather like a screen stuck to your face. After a while you really stop noticing the 'static' background and people just focus on the screen.
That's because up until recently, the only tools users have to interact have been 2D. If 3D becomes a thing, more designers will embrace it and think of new ways to communicate ideas in that space.

Also, in a discussion about communicating efficiently over limited bandwidth, and the possibility removing web fonts, 3D spaces is in a completely opposite direction. We'd have to load vector files and texture maps so that the 3D space doesn't look like crap.

Also, there's a limit to how much input a human can process. There's a reason why certain sites have gotten more simple to restrict distractions.
It may be shallow, but that same shallowness has been used to keep people at a disadvantage in society. I believe we should be actively un-biasing the negative biases throughout society. What I am describing is affirmative action which many people now see as a dirty word. For me, knowing the history and degree of suppression, it is going to be long active path to undo the effects of it.

One last though: if you can't get the shallowest level of diversity, can you really get the deep level of diversity?
I'm increasingly convinced that looking and thinking too deeply on people matters(news, history, organizations, relationships) is like staring at the sun. There's nothing much to see by focusing your gaze on it, it blocks out stuff more nearby, and you go blind in the process.

Which isn't to say that being a numb automaton is ideal, either, but there is a degree of balance and good taste required to avoid converting the information into dangerous thoughts, and it's simpler to restrict quantity of exposure.
The main problem here is that autovacuum threshold is something like c + m * nrows, and in large configurations you could have all sorts of table sizes.

How much change is a lot? 1% of the table + 50 rows (for small tables)? I would argue that sometimes is better to use a fixed threshold, e.g. c = 1000, m=0

All these approaches are hit or miss and are different per configuration. What I found useful is to choose the best parameters you can think of without forcing autovacuum to run everytime, and have an external job run vacuum manually to cleanup whatever got missed... eventually you can figure out the right configuration.
The downside isn't just missing out on the 'fun', but also all the soft skills you get. I feel like academia is only 50% of the university story. The rest is expanding your interests, learning independence, making friends with a more diverse set of people than you'd previously been exposed to. To me it makes you a more well-rounded person (and subsequently, employment candidate) than someone who just stuck their head in books.

That said, is that really the problem here, or a culture of trying to rush products to the market?
