this is true. People pester me multiple times : and my response is to try, over time to enable them to make decisions and not ask me for permission - then if the shit hits the fan its my fault (I also get a ton of credit if stuff works)

Also - the management-by-walking-around part ensures I get face/voice time with many people in my immediate circles.

If you're not in my immediate circle, and you're a stranger, its very true that the dog-park might be your best bet :)

>> In the adult brain, the endocannabinoid system facilitates the neurogenesis of hippocampal granule cells.[37][38] In the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus, multipotent neural progenitors (NP) give rise to daughter cells that, over the course of several weeks, mature into granule cells whose axons project to and synapse onto dendrites on the CA3 region.[39] NPs in the hippocampus have been shown to possess fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and express CB1 and utilize 2-AG.[38] Intriguingly, CB1 activation by endogenous or exogenous cannabinoids promote NP proliferation and differentiation; this activation is absent in CB1 knockouts and abolished in the presence of antagonist.[37][38]

Are solar panel inspections via drone a thing? E.g. find cracks in panels, locate all panels in the area, detect bad modules, etc.

Shameless plug: We (tensorflight.com) do computer vision on drone imagery and heard a customer asking about solar panels. We are in Mountain View, so please get in touch if you have use case in mind.
That may be the ideal way to learn CS, but the problem IMO is that lots of people are going to lose interest immediately. When you start with a web app or a game they can immediately feel like they are developing a practical skill.
Science is the pursuit of truth, whereas engineering is the art of balancing resources and time to achieve a concrete goal (like a product). In that sense, Computer Science is the pursuit of observing, classifying, and predicting of computation phenomena, whereas Computer Engineering is the actual practical matter of building things that take advantage of computation phenomena.
Right but what's the reason not to pick a data structure with better performance? This should be a really trivial choice with virtually 0 impact on code since a list and array will have nearly if not entirely the same interface.

I would also challenge that 99% of all applications are disk bound but I think it's really besides the point. Really, the argument is that performance doesn't matter in all situations, which is true, but hardly means that we should be against writing fast software.

Because they could never again use any 3rd party cloud services for their game except AWS?
Time management is another way how the managing class dominates life more and more. For somebody who mainly spends his time in meetings it's fine to manage his time closely. For a lot of engineers it would be better if they solved only a few very difficult problems instead of many trivial ones as it seems to be the trend right now.
The point is to think for yourself, be skeptical, and don't conflate "popular" with any other attribute, like "wise" or "correct". Just because an idea or company is the most noisy doesn't mean it's the most interesting or valuable.

[Addendum: The other point is to recognize that we're all provincial, and just because something is popular in your circle doesn't even mean it's globally popular, much less wise or correct.]

I never said that and in fact I explained that the issue here is the metric of the universe expanding, not the particles moving away from each other.

> "is a difference between the size of the observable Universe now and the size when the light was emitted"

Nope, I also never said that.

Seriously just go read what I actually wrote instead of writing whatever goes in your mind with no regard for what is actually being discussed.
If it's not important enough to message me twice, it doesn't need a sub-week-later reply. (Obviously, some caveats about important people, routine work messages, etc.)

>When I see a compiler I just think "pfft, tokenizer, lexer, tree". When they see a compiler they think "I could never understand this in my life".

To be fair, they're probably more correct in this context. Even if you understand the basics of compilation (and by the way, if you're reading this comment and you don't have a basic understanding of how compilation works, you should go learn that. Like, right now, if you can) the chance of you actually understanding the entirety of GCC and/or Clang without taking three years to study them is pretty slim, AFAICT.
Not really.

You can already do it so easily, so why would a company pay or use your specific software?

It sounds like the kind of idea that would end up being abused by management. Developers would end up hating it.

I wish I produced content which made my website die, but I also would never want that to happen to me. I can't understand why everyone doesn't just run an S3 static website for most of these personal websites/blogs.

And then I remember almost every tool/plugin/theme/etc. is for wordpress and I think "Oh man, must be nice..."

Always a tradeoff.
When someone has hundreds of other requests coming from all directions, plus his or her own work, you're going to have to take the effort to contact them directly if you want help.

If that isn't a compelling argument, keep in mind that many engineers have varying degrees of ADHD, and email is a huge distraction from getting what they normally do done. Every context switch is painful, so they often put it on mute.

Derek Smart has basically put himself back in the public consciousness on his Star Citizen ranting alone. It's hard to take him entirely seriously, because of how solely reliant on CIG for attention he presently is, and it seems like he's never gotten along with Chris Roberts either. He's fun to read for an alternative perspective, I suppose.

I feel like with 2.6 we're finally starting to see the vision, this is kinda the sort of experience I want to have in my space games. Being able to have spaceships and first person combat in one game is a big part of why I got so excited about EVE Online's "Walking in Stations" and the release of DUST 514. Unfortunately, while CCP doesn't receive the same stress for overpromising and underdelivering (even though they do, regularly), they failed to accomplish that vision.

We know, pretty much 100%, that Star Citizen is going to disappoint a lot of people. The number of promises they've made are ridiculous, and it's impossible to live up to that.

But what Alpha 2.6 delivers on it's own (yes, apparently running Lumberyard), I'd argue raises the bar for what a space simulation game should be capable of. I've never seen a game that even comes close to accomplishing the fidelity of Star Citizen, in a generalized way that isn't dependent on pre-rendered cinematics or triggered events.

Sure, but those political views probably shouldn't be given extra weight just because he's a scientist unless they're directly related to his field.

It is very hard to give the Nobel Peace Prize to serving military officers. It isn't the sort of award you give to people who carry guns to work. You can give it to them on day one for stopping a war, only then on day two see them ordered by their superiors to participate in one.
False dichotomy.

Contentedness and happiness are very different things. The former comes from the inside. It is a sense of satisfaction and peace. The latter comes from the outside. It's a sense of elation and joy.

The reason your post presents a false dichotomy is that it is possible to be both content and happy. In fact, people should strive for a balance of both. Being content should not get in the way of attaining happiness, or vice versa.
Most people that want to be available on HN have a form of contact in their about profile, we use that to connect you out of band until they sign up, if they choose to sign up
> They did everything they were supposed to...

I think That sentiment is a big part of the problem right there. College isn't a checkbox, it's a tool to increase the value you can provide to others and yourself. Any credential is, at its core, just a proxy for expected value. If you give higher regard to the credential than the expected value, you're likely to have a bad time.
hmmm - I think there is both sorrow and joy in both ..no?
We are considering a few things. Our first pass is to use mechanical turk so that we get the email address from the profile page and send an email with the message. We want to be sure not to bother people who truly don't want to participate so we are working on a solution to make sure this doesn't turn into a way to spam HN users.
This is a rather bitter, jealous article. The author frequently gets upset that someone else is getting more attention than another person the author favors instead. That's a classic give-away that the "this isn't a hit piece" is meant to be a hit piece (the preemptive denial approach).

The other standard-issue thing that this article entirely misses - and this occurs commonly in anti-VC type articles - is that the radical majority of new technology companies in the US do not rely on traditional VC. They're either self-funded, funded by friends & family or a mixture. The author seemingly never stopped to consider that the big money VC direction doesn't resonate with most people inside the US either, simply because it's not realistic that more than ~0.01% (20,000 every five years or so perhaps) of American business founders are going to ever have access to that.
I would argue that these are things we want to do but just are not excited about the effort or potential results.
How "clean" is taking off the top of a mountain for coal?

Compare the costs of restoring a mountain after we tear it down, extract the coal and burn it into the atmosphere. How much will that cost? What about moving cities inland? will that be more expensive than recycling solar panels?

There is no perfect energy system, but the status quo is clearly unsustainable, and solar disposal is a much more tractable problem than destructive extraction and atmospheric pollution.

Yeah I didn't check the agreement before, I had assumed the integration with AWS was there to make it attractive, but you're right it locks you out of any other third party service. That does make it a real choice.
This sentiment is literally applicable to everything. Had you wanted to make that point it could have been done in a more direct way about epistemology, expert bias etc... that is so popular right now in light of the "fake news" meme.

KSP was steam early access rather than crowdfunded per se, and was one of the early successes of steam's "early access", the funding made it into a very complete game and had regular updates and progress throughout the early access stages and didn't re-invent itself.
The 20 or maybe 25 years duration is not bad at all in itself, but before or later it has to be done, and usually noone talks about that when illustrating the "advantages" and "cleanness" of the solution.

I was not saying that disposing properly of such materials is not "straightforward", only that its costs (as well as those for the disposal of batteries, thanks _red for mentioning them) are rarely included in most cost estimations.

In EU countries it is now (since around 2012-2014 depending on the country) at least in theory OK - since you pay the cost of disposal to the manufacturer at install time, and when the plant will be depleted you can have the panels disposed for free (your money goes indirectly to a consortium for disposal of electronics goods).
I do have a metronome and I when I use it, I pretty reliably rage quit about 4 minutes later.

One thing that I think music teachers would probably frown on is that I picked up Rocksmith and made more progress with that than practicing chord changes, scales, and Hal Leonard songs. The score for being on time on the right note with the software always adding a few more notes than I can play works really well for me.

Plus I can play it with my daughter.
Another "hard sci-fi" suggestion: Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. Goes into a lot of detail about some potentially interesting things (moon science and orbital mechanics come to mind), if you enjoy that. I learned that I don't, but still really enjoyed it for the great story.

I noticed that you've posted many comments in this topic, but I'm answering this one specifically because of your edit. I didn't downvote you here, but I did downvote other comments you made. Since you asked, I hope you'll take a moment to consider why I did it. Based on other comments I read, I don't think I'm alone in my reasons.

It's clear that you are passionate about the game. I appreciate that you are, because as a developer myself, it's really nice to have people who are enthusiastic about the work that you do.

But having said that, your comments as a whole have been defensive. Phrases like "come on now," "these comments are unworthy of Reddit," and calling others' comments disingenuous are fueling the flames. You're making it hard to have a real discussion with you because I don't feel like also ending up on the receiving end of your comments.
Those calculated externalities seem to be based on a fixed carbon tax. They don't take into account the human cost of living near a coal-fired plant (including productivity loss!), the financial damage of oil and oil-byproduct spills, or water table pollution from fracking.

Each of these externalities, in turn, has consequences of their own -- fewer tourists, increased cost-of-living from bottled watter, higher medical bills from persistent lung and throat disorders. If harm to individuals isn't compelling, consider the danger of a polluted water table to predominantly agricultural areas.

The NCPA doesn't consider these realities in their flat estimation and, based on their sources of funding, are not likely to in the near future [1].

I had the exact same experience. Listening to music or podcasts - even ones I was deeply interested in - diminished the feeling I got while running and the post-run high. It's also why I don't like running with other people. Even if they don't want to talk I'm distracted by their presence, making sure our pace is similar, etc.
Wow. What I said:

>>from people one knows personally (and trust)

vs. what you're imputing to me (i.e. interpreting/twisting my words as/into, or you didn't bother to read before replying):

>So what you're telling me is that you know the economic impact of this phenomenon from social gossip?

So, words from a person you trust (like a close friend or relative), are "social gossip" to you?

If a close friend or relative tells you: "I saw that road A on the way to your work is being repaired, so has a barrier, I suggest you take alternative road B today", do you dismissively tell them that you "need actual evidence. For example, a survey from a reputable census data agency"?

There is a continuum from scientific facts proven by experiments -> things you can be confident about from hearing from people you trust -> roadside gossip. (And for that matter, scientific "evidence" or "laws" can also be proven wrong, so how about your census agency?? how about biased surveys, relevant people not participating (oops, of course black money hoarders are going to answer truthfully to a survey that they hoard black money! /s) People believed the earth was flat and/or that the sun revolved around the earth, before Galileo / Copernicus etc. If you could show a computer or smartphone or even a car - while in use - to a Neanderthal, he would think it was magic. Knowledge, including science, evolves.) Or do you also ask for scientific evidence before you do anything at all?

And:

>"It is known" and "he said/she said" are not acceptable arguments.

Acceptable to whom? That's the key point. You don't need to believe what I do, nor vice versa.

I was trying to clarify a misconception you had, as a person who likely did not know the situation on the ground. Not interested in continuing this discussion further.

Slack (the concept, not the app) is interesting because it can also be applied personally. Lots of businesses these days talk about wanting to have both "high autonomy and high alignment" for their teams.

So it's useful to think about having high autonomy, high alignment, and slack - for one's own individual life.

Brand and Kelly are deeper thinkers than most and it somewhat surprises me that they were blind to the reactionary forces swirling outside the valley's gates. Somebody who focuses on the Long Now has surely understood humankind goes through slow but powerful sociopolitical cycles.
I agree. You have to learn from both directions: go read SICP, PLAI, TAPL, PAIP, Dragon, Algorithms, and whatever else so you have an understanding of the concepts.

Now build a Z80 or 6502-based computer (at the very least) and implement stuff on the bare metal so that you understand how the machine works, at least on a basic level.

But if you can't be bothered to actually build a computer yourself (which is completely understandable), and still want to get a feel for hardware, write some games for an old game console. I recommend the Gameboy: it's dirt cheap (~$20 for a GBA), you can buy a flashcart + reader/writer and/or SD cart from BennVenn for ~$80-$100 (although you may have to wait a bit until he restocks), it's well documented (the PanDoc and numerous tutorials can help you out), and the toolchain is widely available (actually, several toolchains are widely available: various forks of the now-dead RGBDS, and WLA-DX, which seems to be more lively, so it's what I'd reccomend).

It wasn't only on steam. They also sold through their own store. I certainly didn't buy through steam. Whether the game is complete or not depends on when you got in on the process. What it does have is the layered and rather disconnected set of features that are typical of game development in response to market feedback rather than cohesive vision. It's a good game, but does show the telltales.
And dexterity and time.
