He is completely wrong and must be confusing PS1 with the unreleased add-on, which would make more sense. The Nintendo Playstation is not much more than an SNES with a CD-ROM drive and some extra memory:

He is probably too young to have grown up with a PS1. I believe reading at the time that Sony poured close to $1bn into developing the PS1 hardware. This made sense-- the Sony brand then was what Apple is now, and this was their first full foray into the games industry.

If you compare Star Fox running at 15fps on a SuperFX chip w/ untextured polys to Gran Turismo 2 running at 30fps, you will see why OP is spewing clueless garbage. The PS1 was a monster for its time. It blew away the hardware of Saturn and 3DO, when it came to 3D at least. 3D acceleration was new, and even PC gamers were jealous of what the PS1 had to offer at launch. And arguably it was not even dethroned by the N64 a year later.

I feel like this is good advice to some people, but it also requires a business skill-set / interest, which is not everyone's cup of tea.
They never do that. Specs are not Nintendo's thing. They're more interested in how much fun you can have with it.

I always thought that Tokyo situation is because of constant seismic activity - when you have so many earthquakes it would be very hard to find the break underground
No PS4 is winning because of their exclusives. When you have Uncharted 4 for example as GOTY it makes it very hard for people not to choose your console.

The reason the hardware is important is because games like Uncharted, Last of Us etc (which are system sellers) stand apart from the likes of Witcher 3 because of the ability to use the superior hardware to product superior graphics. I would argue this is just as important as the game play. But again not for all games just these specific type of games.
The further problem is the resulting community. Interviewing for Go devs is going to become a pain.
I get the feeling anyone who complains about systemd is just a hobbyist jumping on a hate bandwagon. For anyone who manages production systems, systemd is a godsend compared to the homegrown-per-distro shell based init systems.

We have a similar situation here in Belgium in terms of blocking the pirating websites. I can not just access tpb as I get a warning that the site is "illegal" and I should not use it.

The thing is that they do not block every domain from which people can torrent and there are plenty of mirrors to choose from.

I agree that it will get more people to use a VPN. But that is, more _tech savvy_ people. I know quite a few people who torrent who do not fall in that category. These people will just look for other websites and will not switch to a VPN unless someone explains them the "point" of it and how to do it.

Milton Friedman's Cherished Theory Is Laid to Rest
I think this unfortunately contradicts player expectations most of the times. Even for non-gaming "random" things, people tend to see patterns where there aren't any, and "fairly close to true" random functions feel like they're being modified even when they aren't.

I'm briefly recalling some lectures during University that we're hardwired to find patterns, even when there aren't any, and we make some pretty wild conclusions about the patterns we find this way. I've seen otherwise fairly reasonable players during DnD tell me it's time to "switch to the late night dice" because the current D20 hits a bad luck streak after awhile, and they adamantly adhere to this.

With games it's the same way. League of Legends tweaked it's crit chance algorithm to be a little less random because it could be so wildly swingy and players didn't like it - crit reliant champions would either feel amazing as they melted, or they'd feel useless after a series of successive non-crit attacks. The Dodge mechanic was removed almost entirely since a few select champs could have amazing fights where they got lucky and got 3+ dodges in a row even at relatively low dodge percentages.

It sucks to be the type of person that does understand probability in a reasonable way, but the evidence in games shows that just isn't how the grand majority of players operate.
That's nice, but adding it to the old log system is a one-liner, so it's hardly a reason to use Systemd.

I think that it depends on the size and number of your projects. The fact that Go has the equivalent of Sinatra/Flask/Express in the standard library is really cool, but that isn't always what you need.

At work we have several dozen applications in service for multiple customers, and almost every single one needs more than that: authn, authz, I8n, DB schema management, a REPL for support work (debugging and data amends), standardized layouts and components from easy switching between projects etc. etc. If we were a larger org with even more applications we would probably benefit from microservices, but actually, Rails-style monoliths are exactly the right fit for us. If we didn't have a framework we'd have to pick a set of components and maintain the glue code to stitch them together, then re-use across products: IOW, we'd end up making a framework if there wasn't one already. At my last job, that actually happened.
We know that standard library is enough But there is always need for a framework if you do the same thing over and over again. The consensus in the GO community seems to be that you create from scratch every-time the same handlers, utilities etc. And practically we have ended up with everyone having their own in-house framework. There is nothing wrong with not wanting to create the same helpers every time or not wanting to have your personal framework.

Saying that the standard library is all you need is like saying that you don't need the standard library either, Go's Keywords are all you need.

I have a 2016 Volkswagen (Tiguan II), whose Lane Assist also leaves a lot to be desired. It handles nearly straight roads with no traffic quite ok, but it would surely crash the car on nearly every obstacle (lane narrowing/widening, obstacles, tighter corners, ...) without manual intervention.

That's a reason why I don't believe in seeing safe autonomous cars during the next few years at all. But maybe Tesla is that much better - haven't ridden one.
It's not tearing, it's called affine swim, and on PC is a tell tale sign of a software renderer. Overall the N64 was ok (I had one). The PS2 was so much better though, there was just a way better variety of good games. N64 kind of sucked if you didn't want to play Goldeneye, Zelda or Super Mario 64 clones.

Also, Tetrisphere! There is a game I had forgotten about. It was so good!
Go is built in a way that forbids writing abstractions.

There are lots of abstractions in Go - e.g. structs, interfaces, goroutines, channels. It may not have all the abstractions you're used to (e.g. inheritance, generics), and might still be lacking in areas, but your statement is extreme hyperbole and not useful.

As to whether something is a framework or not, why is this important to you?
Integrity can be provided with a Wegman-Carter scheme, which come with a security reduction. The combination one-time pad + poly1305 for instance is provably secure. It's just impractical, and you have to rely on your chacha20 random number generator from /dev/urandom anyway.

Also good luck finding a nonce-reuse resistant algorithm.
This is in effect an unpowered loitering munition aka a gliding bomb just one that is made out of paper and possibly will carry something less explosive.

We have these things in use, you mark your target and based on your altitude, speed and heading and atmospheric conditions the computer calculates the release envelope and that's it.

Guidance kits like SPICE or munitions like SDB or JSOW are very accurate and have quite a long range considering their size.

You're right, but there have been times where their handheld domination has looked shakey, which makes their whole future look shakey.
> Did you buy from them? What's your experience?

Yes, twice, very good. Check my other comments for more info. Long story short, the Lemur is an excellent little laptop that replaced two large pieces of crap from HP and Dell. AMD cut support for the graphics a month or so after I bought it, and it always ran very hot. The Dell's usb ports shorted out. I have never had that happen before.

The only problem I have had is with Intel. Intel does not get mature launch support in their drivers until well after launch. My Ivy Bridge Lemur would freeze once in a while after resuming. I do not think it was fixed until Ubuntu 13.04 (It came with 12.04). I had to put Manjaro on my Skylake Lemur to get Mesa 13 to get all the issues fixed. Skylake has been out more than a year, and Mesa 13 came out recently. Skylake has not been as bad as Sandy Bridge, but still a problem.

> some laptop robustness and touchpad / build quality issues

Do not have issues with the touchpad.

Compared to the HP and the Dell I bought the Lemurs handle heat very well, build quality seems very good. The Skylake and later Lemur's have a very sleek, modern look. The Ivy Bridge Lemur has a boxer look that you can see with other laptop models.

I do not know what you mean by 'laptop robustness'. I knocked the Ivy Bridge Lemur onto the floor and it survived. The power plug was off centered because it fell on it's power input, but it was like $20 USD to fix. The shipping cost me more.

My advice to you would be to always request the latest Ubuntu.
This is my first time hearing of App.net.

(This is something that happens for me regularly -- I "discover" something only by its shutdown notice making the HN front page...).
React is not about templating. It is about swapping an O(n^2) problem of transitioning between all N possible states of your app for an O(1) problem of describing what the UI looks like in any state and letting a machine do the transitions.

JSX is convenient but all React really requires is putting all of the logic to render a component under one method. You could carefully construct a piece of XML or something like that in render and then pass it to a templating engine of your choice°, instead of any JSX.

But JSX is as nice a language as any for templates, and side effects in render are clearly wrong in React so the old issues of turing compete templating are ameliorated.

° You'd have to do a tiny bit of wiring to make sub-components go back into the react pipeline.

After I discovered Pandora back in 2010, I haven't looked back. While it lacks ability to play a song on demand, where it truly outshines are its recommendations. Maybe its the nature of their recommendation algorithm - they call it the music genome project; a content based recommendation ending using very finely refined categorizations as opposed to the methodologies most other recommenders follow - a mix of collaborative filtering and content-based, but not as detailed on creating categories that a song can fall into.

I know I'm sounding like such a fanboy but I discovered some of my favorite bands and artists after hearing them first through Pandora's recommendations. I've often heard songs I liked at random places, shazammed them, and created a channel on Pandora, which has led to some really good artists that I would've never heard through other media. So for music discovery, Pandora is where its at. I really hope this company sticks around.

I'm amazed at his low cost of living, at the same time for such a widely used bit of software perhaps some of the distro companies could chick him some cash each month too.
I'm quite annoyed by announcements like this. To be complete, you have to provide a complete solution. It's really annoying with GCC that you have to check in multiple places to see which features a given release supports.
I'm not sure how you could write this with a straight face. Systemd has friction, but writing init scripts doesn't? Are you kidding me? Have you ever had to write init scripts for production servers? Writing systemd unit files is entirely more straightforward and simple than any init script hackery. And how is "journalctl -u sshd -f" not straightforward? Systemd has its issues sure, but your comment is pure FUD.
Performance of a tiny code sample is not why people select one language over another. If that was the case, no one would be using anything besides assembly or C. Even in other languages, you'll use an abstraction heavy implementation for the benefit of long-term maintenance and code evolution and then performance optimise the bits that can pack a punch. Performance optimisation in any language looks ugly be it C or Haskell.
>(...)also its technically possible to get better sound quality than digital via high quality, high speed, vinyl and an all analog recording to stamping process

-This, with all due respect, is a myth. Much as I love my LPs, by any objective criteria the CD (or any digital media) beats them handsomely. Dynamic range, frequency response, noise floor, channel separation - even on the best mastered, half-speed cut, heavy vinyl albums noise and distortion is orders of magnitude larger than on any competently mastered CD.

Note 'competently mastered'; it is unarguably true that some recordings are destroyed during mastering for CD as part of the so-called loudness wars; this problem is less of an issue when mastering for vinyl as the audience buying LPs often do so precisely to escape from the loudness wars and the problems caused by it.

However, this is a defect by decision; it is not due to any inherent limitation of the CD medium compared to the LP.

That is absolutely true, but useless genes have a much higher probability of getting corrupt by accumulating errors, because the lack of useless genes is not selected against.

last.fm and Spotify both have the same problem:

Let's say I like this one song from a Chilean singer. Not that album, not that singer, just that one specific song.

What both systems do is recommend "here is all of South America's music, and here are all Chilean singers from that decade". Did you pick a Chilean rock song from the late 80's? Here's a Peruvian Charango song from the early '90s. They don't know anything about the songs themselves, only their network effect.

Pandora's "Music Genome Project" was supposedly designed around this issue, but I can't say whether it actually works or not.
Isn't it already? You posted your comment on a post that links to a page that uses 'This MS Paint stuff' to explain concepts like 'this', where the first 'This' refers to this specific incarnation of 'MS Paint stuff' and the second 'this' refers to blockchains.

But if you are a hiring manager at one of the big name companies you would not even short list non-top tier candidates for the interview. I have been applying since the past one month and its the small companies that respond.

I think someone who has worked in Microsoft - who might not have contributed much - minor bug fixes compared to the guy who has a worked in a startup - build products from scratch and all that in an extensive deadline - staying up entire nights on a new few occasions to make the release date ends up getting a straight reject.
-In all fairness (and this does not have any practical implication whatsoever for the case discussed here, but nit-picking is a favourite pastime of mine), Nyquist-Shannon is not fully satisfied during music reproduction.

N-S requires, for instance, an analog signal which is perfectly band-limited. This implies that it must be of infinite duration, which, obviously, is not the case.

However, it is plenty infinite-ish enough for all practical purposes.

Witcher 3 on PS4 has slightly better graphics and insane texture pop in and some frame drops. I'd take "inferior" xOne version any time of the day.
I was going to say that you just need to change m to int and fix the mask derivation to avoid directly or indirectly manipulating or reading the sign bit. And to do that you _only_ need to know the number of value bits. It turned out more complicated than that.

You can't reliably derive the number of value bits from the unsigned type on evil implementations. Using the range limits like INT_MIN and INT_MAX, though, you can deduce the number of value bits. It's useful that the definition of precision and width in 6.2.6.2p6 of C11 effectively precludes, I think, a range which doesn't make full use of the available value bits. Also that the standard effectively only permits ones' complement, two's complement, and sign magnitude. Being able to reliably determine the number of value bits means you could carefully shift a masking bit through the set of value bits.

But confirming with the standard I was reminded that shifts of negative values are undefined. But I think we could use arithmetic to shift the bit. Preferably multiplication because I'm not quite grokking the requirements for signed division, and I _just_ learned that INT_MIN / -1 will cause a floating point exception on x86. Cool!

Also, with this general approach we'd never be able to peek at all the representation bits for the value and sign bits. We wouldn't see the high bit on two's and ones' complement implementations to show our hypothetical skeptic how it changes.

We could inspect all the representation bits by inspecting the int object as an unsigned char. But I don't think we could reliably differentiate the padding bits from the value and sign bits, especially on an evil implementation where the value bits weren't all contiguous or which toggled the padding bits semi-randomly just to screw with us.

I work at a major games publisher and literally all we care about is DirectX for PC/X1 ports, and the weird graphics library we use for PS4. I don't know of any game released by us in last 10 years which even had an OpenGL backend. From what I gathered from our graphics devs, their reaction to vulkan was "meh, it's nice but we already have PC covered with DirectX which we have to write for X1 anyway, and it's not like PS4 is going to support it, so what's the point?"
You can use JVM debugging tools and with a guide on how to interpret the results for Eta (or a tool that does the mapping to Eta source code for you), debugging can be pretty awesome. The implementation was specifically designed to re-use the JVM Thread stack as much as possible so that you can get stack traces and figure out the source of the error. You'll get stack traces similar to other JVM languages like Scala and Clojure. See http://eta-lang.org/docs/html/eta-user-guide.html#debugging-... for an example. You can use tools like slf4j-ext as java agents and get nice traces - it's how I debug the Eta runtime.
