Yes, that was partly my point.

You can get reduced executable size and a lack of dependencies on various msvc*.dlls, without giving up much of the functionality of the C standard library and without having to write it all yourself.
> Ok, tell me what good it is going to do to consider those things.

Well, assuming you're American, you can look at the decline of Detroit to see what happens when you don't think of these things. Or Wales and the North of England, if you're from the UK.

> Are you suggesting that if we all collectively decide that building such things hurts people, no one will build them?

No, I'm suggesting that we consider the implications of what we're creating and try to ensure that, even as we build them, we ensure that we don't damage whole swathes of society in doing so. But that's just me, and it might just be that I'm a bleeding heart. All progress comes with its benefits and its downsides, and if you think rendering people unemployed without giving them an alternative means of supporting themselves is OK and/or shouldn't be part of the calculus of how progress is made, then that's your decision.
Nope, just tried it. The machine will boot, it just takes a long time (some timeouts at play, I assume). If anything, Touch ID not working if the system time is wildly incorrect is makes me trust it more, rather than less.

Would I like the system design be more open and better documented? Sure. But if a security feature doesn't work when the clock is set 45 years in the past… is not concerning per se.
> They chose the wrong platform for the app. They should have developed it for the Apple TV.

They developed and released it years before the Apple TV even had 3rd party apps...
It seems like a lot of people believe (and I believe they are at least partly right) that GCHQ already captures this data as a matter of course, and the new law just legitimises it. They further imagine that GCHQ are only interested in James Bond style espionage and high level terrorism. You'd need to be plotting something at the level of 9/11 to even raise an eyebrow from them.

"Of course, under the new law these powers are expanded, but that's fine - after all, GCHQ have far bigger concerns than that dodgy looking brown bloke who lives down the street, but if local police had the same access to information, they'd be far more effective. Sure, it means my internet history is logged as well, but even if I occasionally download a dodgy movie, the signal/noise ration means they're not going to look unless they have a reason to, so why should I care?"

A lot of people in this country are under the impression that the law is too soft, and are widely in support of stronger enforcement and better detection, and this will continue until it starts to directly affect them. For example, my local newspaper had an article about an 18 year old who was prosecuted because he had child porn on his phone and had consensual sex with a 15 year old when he was 17. The comments were unanimously calling him a vile paedophile and expressing outrage at the non-custodial nature of his sentence. For all you can tell from the article, it could just as easily be his slightly younger girlfriend and a few rude selfies. Still illegal, yes, but a far cry from anything I'd call abuse.
It sounds like you are proposing a perpetual motion machine, which cannot work because of the laws of thermodynamics (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_motion).
I wish someone would port 3&NV onto that old 2 engine, I liked it a lot better
I'm super skeptical of this.

They have been around since Jan 2015. And include Google not in attention companies but in platform companies. This is a strange divide considering Google makes YouTube, and which business is just to intercept as much information as possible, to build a profile of you, to target your attention to advertising and enough value that you don't mind. This is then continued by their recommendation of AdBlock which blocks ads (but not Google's by default, because Google pays them), and not tracking.

Their message seems somewhat to what we have already been hearing from Richard Stallman and Eben Molgen for the past 30 years — https://youtu.be/tbcy_ZxXLl8?list=PLYVl5EnzwqsR20nKqwDCSNONs... — Aral Balkan from Indie for the past 5-10 years — https://ind.ie/ethical-design/ — but packaged up for consumers, blaming tech.

However their delivery seems more at targeting consumers, with the illusion of targeting designers, by blaming those dam malicious tech folk because it is not the consumer's job to accept responsibility of how they spend their time - and instead, it is up to companies to stop wasting the irresponsible and perhaps addicted consumers attention, despite the consumer not wanting to support non-free business models, probably hence why this movement hasn't taken off in its 2 years.

The video seems reminiscent of the rap video by another person, who's message was to consumers, hey there was a time before tech invaded our attention, you can put your phone away you know, perhaps do that. This version seems to be perhaps aimed at children who have never experienced an app-less world, so the expectation of them putting their phone away would perhaps be absurd to them, so hey, let's blame other people instead.

Snodwen, Richard Stallman, Eben Molgen, and Aral Balkan, seem to be having more success in changing this industry's practices. With Snowden more so than anyone else. As with Snowden, it not changing is about the legal and ethical consequences of invading privacy against the consumers will — whereas where invading their privacy for the consumers will, as Google does, is totally okay and sometimes even glorified by consumers.

TimeWellSpent will never solve the Journalism clickbait problem, as the advertising business model, which is the free business model, does not value anything but attention and clicks, which promotes clickbait articles, which promotes shit journalism (publish first, update progressively, and verify at some very later point if ever). Just because consumers expect things for free but expect companies to be ethical. They can’t be ethical if consumers don’t wish to pay for them to be ethical.

It’s kind of like whining that there are no seedless apples, but then when someone engineers a seedless apple and charges money for it, they say, what the hell, you should be free, I’m going to use the unethical clone of you that advertises to me anyway, and screw the R&D you ethical people did.

Thoughts?
If you played original games long ago I would recommend to first to play them again with "Restoration Project" mods. It's very well-done projects and most of additions are indistinguishable from original content.

These mods fix bugs and carefully re-add to the game bits that was cut off before release, but later on exposed in Fallout Bible by Chris Avellone (and some other sources probably).
the proxima is almost a joke in the name.
That was my first though too - although my understanding of physics is too poor to know if the two contexts are actually related.
Microsoft tuition assistance is available for both undergraduate and graduate programs. There are annual limits to how much is reimbursed and you get more for graduate school. Yes, it does require manager approval too. (I work at Microsoft)
"All that said, 3 and 4 are still quality games. There's nothing all that wrong with "Oblivion + guns" in my view ;)"

Actually, I can't help but feeling that Bethesda games treat me like an idiot and hold my hand all the time. I hate that "special snowflake-retard" handling and couldn't finish any of their games, even though I really loved these beautiful worlds (Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout3).
You're getting down-voted (Which is unnecessary IMO) but you're really not wrong. `gcc` itself provides `stdint.h`, it's not actually part of libc - or rather, you can use it without actually having a libc in place. Generally this is a good move, because you can always write a `stdint.h` replacement on arch's that don't have one, but on ones that do you're guaranteed to get the types correct.
The boiling point depends on pressure. It sounds like he reduced the pressure in the testtube be getting the air out and letting the water vapor condense- then the liquid boiled. Clever.
It doesn't abstract anything, if the syscall changes your "abstract a bit" will be broken all the same. On many if not most OS the machine code side of the syscalls can change with no notice, Windows has changed syscalls in minor revisions, Go broke several times during the Sierra beta due to syscall changes (because it handrolls gettimeofday(2) whose assembly calling convention changed).

The proper abstract interface on non-linux systems is the standard library.
I had to learn lock-picking first to have access to the mighty computer room, first. After a while I discovered that I could kick the door open easily. Then they realized the door was wobbly and replaced the entire frame. That's how I learned brute-forcing was not a viable long-term strategy.
The parent comment is (slightly obtusely) talking about "UWP Apps", which are installed from the store and have mobile-style "sandboxing". Normal Win32 applications can of course use SetWindowsHookEx() and the DirectDraw screen functions to take over your screen.
If I'm understanding your comment right, you mean that the underlying cuckoo hash table can only use 2 buckets per item, right? We actually generalized this, but only in Bin's thesis:

https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~binfan/thesis/thesis_ss.pdf

See section 4.5. It was a bit more computationally expensive, so we didn't push forward with it in our implementation, as "2,4" cuckoo hash tables (2 hash functions to identify buckets, 4 associative elements) performed so well already.
malloc() isn't particularly hard; K&R provides a working implementation using a freelist and sbrk in about a page of code. It's printf() that's the horrendous feature-crammed nightmare.
Fallout 1 and 2 are about storytelling. Most of their value comes from great text and situations, so the interface should not really matter.

If you want to give it a shot but get annoyed by the fighting system, try it as a social character, zero-fight gameplays are possible.
I wonder if it's not in fact that he only has as much power as you yourself give him. Then pretending that he has no power, actually makes it so that he does not have any power over you.
FreeRTOS also provides a few malloc implementations backed by static arrays (not dependent on sbrk), which can be useful for running malloc-based test code on embedded platforms without native malloc: http://www.freertos.org/a00111.html
W32Time has different kinds of issues, in my experience. With it, one's problems tend to be that, by design until very recently, it doesn't provide to-the-second accuracy.

The New Workplace Is Agile
Ask HN: What's the best developer conference talk you saw in 2016?
What is the best developer conference talk you saw (person or online) this year (2016)?

What inspired you most? Why are you recommending it?
Yes, somehow.

What they technically did is raise the chemical potential, mu, of the gas phase (the phase with the lowest mu wins). TL/DR, but I'm not too impressed from a theoretical POV.

The problem to replicate this is "what do you do to raise the mu of the non super-conducting phase?". That's not trivial as many things raise the mu of the super conducting phase instead, like applied magnetic fields.
If they can tell you what to do, and you can't tell them what to do, then yes, you work under a boss.
Admittedly it looks fantastic, but that's significant price tag.
As others have pointed out, New Vegas has a better main story.
In fact not only the story of Fallout 3 is a bit "meh", but if you stick to the main quest, you can finish the game pretty quickly. And tunnels. Lot of metro tunnels

That said, you can wander around the wasteland and find a lot of nice subquests and hidden nuggets. In this regard, F3 really looks like Oblivion with guns, since in my opinion that game had the same exact issues (lame main story, beautiful side quests).

NV's DLCs are also better in my opinion.

For me, the WASM version was noticeably slower, with an especially noticeable JIT warmup. It might have been because the asm.js version was running at a lower resolution, so it's not a very fair comparison.

I don't think this is contradiction. Except if one is motivated by a general, ideological contempt of Facebook (the company).

Otherwise I find it totally reasonable to be critical of the "public" parts such as the newsfeed (for example) but to see enough value in Messenger (or Instagram or Whatsapp) to keep using it.

I'm 18 and I want to work for Facebook - without high-school.
This is my last year in school(high-school, grade 12) and I didn't register yet(schools already started 3-4 months ago).

I'm 18 and I code since 4 years, Currently I'm working remotely with at a software agency based in Dubai.

I get paid as a decent coder gets paid in my country.

My goal is to work at Facebook. Does that depend on my school graduation or getting a CS degree?

I'm asking this because everybody is telling me to finish this last year to be "free", and for companies to hire me they need at least a high-school degree.

A CS degree is not required to work at google as a software engineer, but is a high-school degree required?

> Do I need a computer science degree to be a Google software engineer?[1]

> No, a CS degree isn’t required for our software engineering or product manager roles.

Here is how my work looks like:

I use mostly javascript in my work, I've worked with php and python as well, I use frameworks and new technologies

Python => Django,
Javascript(typescript) => AngularJS,
CSS => sass,
HTML => jade.

I'm currently learning ReactJS and I'm a big fan of it since 1 week.

Do you think Facebook will accept me if I applied after I get into ReactJS(and functional programming, and all it takes to start contributing to ReactJS) really well?

I want to be on that team. Its my goal.

Ask HN: What is the essential ability gap between the elite and the public in US?
Good points. I'd just like to add two more points: FNV's storyline is a lot more morally ambiguous and there's a lot more humor in it.

This moral ambiguity is present in most Obsidian games and it makes for a completely different experience when compared to the typical "hero saves the world" storyline. In FO3 it's pretty clear who the good and bad guys are, whereas in FNV it gets muddy very fast. This is pronounced at points where you're to make a choice - in FO3 it's very easy whereas in FNV you're stuck asking yourself "Is this really good/bad? Should I be helping this NPC? Am I really on the right side in this? What if they're manipulating me?."

As for the humor part - FNV is more in line with the tongue in cheek style of F1 and F2. Yeah, the world burned to hell, why not spend the day chasing down a telepathic mole rat?

It's great to see WASM coming at last, but I must admit I'm a little disappointed (for now, anyway). Huge download, and though it runs smoothly (firefox 50) I'm not really impressed given what was possible with the flash version.

Call me a pessimist but I doubt the vast majority of people will ever find true mentorship. Would it be nice to have a more experienced and talented developer take a personal interest in your career and technical development? yes, of course it would, but it's unlikely at best. I'm sure self study, discipline and "grit" matter far more.
I don't think there's IC bashing for the sake of it. At least no more than Apple bashing, Microsoft bashing, Facebook bashing, ... You get it :)

There's bashing against malpractice, illegal data gathering and in general against any abuse of other people's freedom.

But my comment was about the guidelines. There's no need to call that out and helps no one. You could have accomplished a better outcome just by highlighting positive stuff about the IC, like this very same set of tools. And please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to patronize anyone here, I'm just a mere HN reader.
There's something wrong in making things go away by going away from the victims, when they possibly need help, without even stopping.

Isn't this a virtual thing? I don't know anything about this but I'd say most energy in Norway's houses is indeed produced via renewables (I mean the actual energy, say, the electrons being transported) and then a virtual transaction is handled by interested parties (say other countries' governments). For example, Germany could pay Norway x for an exchange of a percentage of renewables and nuclear, for stats and regulatory purposes, but the actual energy being consumed by Germans would still be produced by nuclear. Is this correct in any way?
No, it's the fact of:

"They can tell you what to do, and how to do it. And if you don't, they can fire you. And when you have no job, you have problems eating, a place to stay, and a much harder time getting jobs."

I would like a new fallout based on the Fallout: Tactics engine. I really liked the interactions and animations in it, but the game was a bit bland.
No one thinks there is much value in the developer market?
I had the same reaction (having played FO3) when my friend kept going on about how NV was so much better. I picked it up on a sale and had to agree. I can't pick a single "smoking gun" but in a way it's a "death by a thousand cuts" sort of thing: incremental improvements everywhere that, as a whole, add up to a much better experience. Color, atmosphere, lore, quests, etc. According to steam, I have 100 hours logged in FO3. I have 240 in NV.
Fallout NV had a superior narrative and more complex characters. The writing was superb and often times hilarious. Quests were much more engaging and thought-provoking and could be resolved in novel ways and didnt fall into the WoW trap of go here, kill baddie, collect reward. The choices were also non binary. Decisions in Fallout 3 often had you pick between a selfless saint or a psychopathic, mustache-twirling dick, while NV offered shades of grey, similar to the Witcher 3. Also like the Witcher 3, when you made decisions, there were actual changes in the game world and the consequences were often unexpected. And the DLC's foe NV were amazing, especially the sci-fi themed one.

To be fair, Fallout 3 had a more immersive environment and atmosphere. It captured the setting and feeling of a post apocalyptic world. You dont feel as compelled to follow the game's questline... exploring the world was more satisfying. Bethesda and Rockstar have a penchant for making games where you can have so much fund just walking around.

I often times wish that a colloaborarive rpg between comapnies could be made. Obsidian would do quest design, CD Project Red would do the writing, Bioware would do the voice acting and character design, FromSoftware would do the world-building map design and lore, Platinum games is responsible for gameplay, Square Enix would provide the music, Naughty Dog handles graphics and motion capture, Blizzard would do the QA, Bethesda would do the mod kit, and Valve would be the publisher....
Awesome. Thanks. It's clearly why I love Django.
