The entirety of factorio is centered around automated combat and production. Even with all automation mods I'm aware of, minecraft pales in comparison.

I don't think minecraft's engine could even handle the number of concurrent actors that factorio does. When I used to play minecraft, you couldn't make complicated redstone devices on big multiplayer servers because the engine couldn't afford to simulate chunks that weren't occupied by players. Factorio simulates the entire map, all the time. It's heavily optimized for thousands of concurrent actors.
You joke, but that definitely has crossed my mind. I've been avoiding the recent protests out of an abundance of caution.

It can't be open like that "just use our URL" because it will bring many free-riders and shutdown your server.

But it also can't be a closed system with private keys and all that, because the hassle is too enormous -- the user will need a server to get the key for each image and so on.

I have the impression that all services of this kind suffer from the above dual-problem.
You speak of "correlation" and "looking at the numbers" but provide no data. What exactly is your point?
Nice read, although I have to say, 2001 I took my first job as a web developer, writing Java apps that would run on Tomcat. Back then Java was a revelation after fumbling with perl - the experience that code would actually work the first time it was run was amazing... (these days I am tired of Java, though).
Why should the open source world throw out one of its greatest strengths: allowing mere individuals to make updates to the whole stack without the world burning.
Dwarf Fortress is definitely a developer game. I love how the game allows you to creatively stand-up industries of scale.

For instance, (shamelessly plugging), the game has minecarts, which transport goods point-to-point, following some track.

To avoid having to lay track for each route separately, I devised a system of logic components that will allow routes to share track, via automated routing:

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/User:Gnidan#Minecart_...

The routing system uses synchronization primitives to ensure that each shared track segment is only occupied by at most one minecart at a time. Using this guarantee, I have my system switch track exits accordingly, so each minecart in transit gets sent to the right place.

Honestly, I have no idea. I would love if someone could pitch in and give an explanation so I can learn from this (details and link to code at my other comment).

My bet would be that it makes an API call for each change on the components. But probably the code could be improved aside from this.

It is the same with car insurance. The elderly are almost as bad as drunk drivers for accidents.
In many ways MySQL is similar to MongoDB.

Both started out being written by people who know nothing about databases and both threw away years of database research.

Both gained popularity due to being accepted choice by web-based languages (PHP vs NodeJS)

Both were faster than more established competition, only to turn out that both were losing data.

Both turned out to be designed fundamentally wrong and had a replacement engines that are more reliable (ISAM/MyISAM vs InnoDB and v0 vs v1).

Both still have quirks due to bad decisions in the past, but which can't be easilly fixed due to breaking compatibility.

It's close, the automation is a bit more straightforward in Factorio. Factorio also has a tower defense aspect i think is missing in modded minecraft. Perhaps closer to fortresscraft evolved.
For me, Factorio fills the planning game niche really well. If you don't plan right, you'll find your factory grinding to a halt as your resources are trickling in instead of flowing efficiently. "Refactoring" doesn't feel like the worst chore in the world, rather you can quickly tear things down and redesign much quicker than a lot of strategy games.
Fair enough. If you're not in the nanos what is the point of even bothering with FPGAs and all the pain involved? CPUs can handle single digit micros just fine.
ZeroStack Launches AI Suite for Self-Driving Clouds
I would not quite call it a developer game, just more like a very involved and deep simulation. The barrier to new players is steep, but there are lots of easy-to-use third party tools to make the game more friendly [1].

It's certainly an extremely daunting game, and the interface is ridiculous and makes no sense. Like anything worth doing, it takes practice.

If you're too intimidated by Dwarf Fortress, try RimWorld [2]. It's the same idea, but with a GUI. And if you really want to learn to play Dwarf Fortress, the Lazy Newbs pack linked to below is a great way to start. I'd recommend turning off invasions and aquifers in the opening menu. Other than that, there are plenty of how-to videos and wikis out there. I won't favor one with a link. Google can help with that.

There will never be another game quite like Dwarf Fortress. But there will be a lot of games that learn from it and expand on its ideals. Tarn and Zack are incredible people, and if you send them a donation, they will mail you a hand-drawn image of a dwarf doing whatever you ask.[3]

That game is a time hole. I have literally sat down for a play session at 9pm and stood up at 2am, having no idea what happened. If you like circuit design, refactoring code, or thinking about graph problems, I can't think of a better experience.
>Funding research through banning a buyer from negotiating with its suppliers is pretty much the definition of a Rube Goldberg device.

It's exactly how normal (non-monopsony) markets work in every context, including markets for intellectual works/IP.

Note: in this context, "negotiating" means "turning the national market into a monopsony". It's generally recognized as not-a-pure-good-thing when e.g. Walmart comes close to doing that and forces sellers to nearly take a loss in return for access to Walmart's market.

(And before anyone makes the obvious point, yes, I know "health care ain't a can of beans etc etc etc". But with respect to the dangers of monopsonies, it's close enough.)
Minecraft focuses on world building, Factorio focuses on automation of world building. They sound similar on paper but they aren't.

It's like Redstone, but it really isn't, it's so much more.

Seriously, buy Factorio, statistically speaking I can safely say if you are reading this post you will not regret that purchase.
There appears to be a spending limit for some tiers but not for others. Why?

I'm never going to use an API without a spending limit and I'm not going to start using the lower tiers of an API knowing the upper tiers have no spending limit. One runaway script and I'm bankrupt. It's just not a risk I'm willing to take.

This is an issue with so many cloud services.

Also, I don't understand why pricing needs to be so complicated. Fine grained monthly quotas are an unnecessary annoyance. Just sell me x API calls for y dollars. It should average out over many users enough for them to do capacity planning. This sort of flexibility is exactly what the cloud is supposed to give us.
Whoa. Why isn't anyone talking about this? It seems to be huge!

Is this company in a different time-zone? It could be an honest mistake. I'd ask them, they can't fault you for following up on the schedule, especially if you're clearly still interested.

"Hello xyz, I noticed the meeting invite I got was for ... do you have any availability for ...? I'm unavailable during ..."

Worst case they say "No unfortunately that's the only time slot we have" and you reschedule for another week or something?

Extremely heavily modified minecraft (the way I like it) is a thing.

If you enjoy somewhat non-intuitive UI in a minecraft UI setting, try recent versions of the blood magic mod for minecraft. Its essentially unplayable without a web browser and google on a second monitor, but is a cool design and worth the effort. Also like DF its a bit grindy. And it grows on people such that people tend to really like it, warts and all.

I'm comparing there Jesus, who's for the Christians "THE God." One part of the "one God in three Divine Persons", the "central mystery" of Christianity for most of its existence.

Your claim that Jesus is "ultimately human" and at the same time that Mohammad "wrote" "beautiful" things leaves me wondering how much you actually know about the religions.

Even if you belong to, for example, Jehovah's Witnesses, you have to be aware that a) your denomination didn't exist before 1870s and the rest of the Christians believe in Jesus the God for at least 17 centuries b) your beliefs are distinct from the mainstream Christianity and c) your number is minute compared to all other Christians.

Can you please specify which Mohammad's "writing is in fact quite beautiful"? What have you read that Mohammad wrote? Thanks.

The problem is, "Who's firing?" is not some useful dual of "Who's hiring". While not 'gratifying intellectual curiosity', the who's hiring threads are a useful monthly exception since people do actually look for hires and for jobs.

"Who's firing" would just be a way to have a monthly rumors and gossip thread. There are already sites upon sites for that.
They're cheap, addictive calories. HFCS and sucrose also don't trigger our satiety responses well, so that also allows us to eat more than our body needs[0].

I don't get why you would have to worry, unless you are some kind of psychopath or sociopath and it can be seen from these posts? We all say/write stupid things when we are 17, why would it affect your career in any way? Look it other way, would you really judge a politician based on what they said on some website when they were 17?
Oh my god and the optimization in Factorio is seriously impressive. They have an excellent blog and often post technical details, it's a real treat to read.

"trolling behavior in discussion communities, defined in the literature as behavior that falls outside acceptable bounds defined by those communities"

Is this the definition you would use for "trolling behavior"? It's not what I was expecting, and greatly changes my understanding of what the study is looking at compared to the title.
This is a test. . .but not necessarily an intentional one by the recruiter. It is a test of your maturity and perseverance.

People make mistakes, schedules don't always line up, and sometimes people are overwhelmed or aren't good at their job as a recruiter. Unless you are interviewing for a job with the recruiting department, you should not hold the rest of the company equally at fault for difficulty in getting to the interview.

If you need to say something, do it positively when asking for the rescheduling, and then be frank about how to improve the experience after you have the job (or have decided not to take it).
World Anchors have long been a feature of many mods, which let you keep map segments loaded while you're away.

Writing to a politician is already very inefficient, given that the lords have life terms, would they even care?
Great article. It's not just about pricing info, it's about the nationwide move to HDHP's and HSA's.

Personally I'm pretty happy with my HSA, because now the list of things I can spend my healthcare dollar on is much longer:

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf

Lots of those things would not be covered by a traditional health insurance plan.

But of course, it means we have chosen to forego health care and services in some cases, like the author of the article above. In one case we turned down an ambulance and drove ourselves to the hospital, which saved some money.
Yes. Not to mention that spreads are so tight that the only real challenge for a cash trading desk is how to read the flow, and manage inventory, into events. Computers don't do a great job of interpreting doublespeak and insinuation, which is a substantial part of earnings calls and other releases of information.

Derivatives trading has grown as cash trading has shrunk. And the banks haven't figured out how to automate that business yet.
Nifty tutorial for creating and distributing a Python app with snapcraft
A little off topic, but this is the first time I've heard of this particular set of grievances with the ACA (that it's "job destroying").

If anything I would have thought that it left too many jobs in place by fully institutionalizing the role of the very expensive middle man insurance companies, and thus ensuring that it'll always be fundamentally more costly than a more pure universal healthcare system.
Telerik/Progress fired ~110 people from their Sofia offices not long ago
You're comparing ISAM/MySAM (storage engine) to the MongoDB replication protocol. As a more relevant parallel MongoDB also replaced its original storage engine with one acquired from WiredTiger (BerkeleyDB founders).

One big difference from a corporate strategy perspective is that MySQL let the replacement storage engine (InnoDB) fall in to the hands of Oracle. MongoDB was smart enough to make sure that they were the acquirer, which puts them in control of their own destiny.

If MongoDB is heading along the path of MySQL, that's a pretty good path to be on considering that MySQL is used as the store of record at Facebook, Twitter and some parts of Google.
Sounds good, really appreciate your time on this! I'll give this a try this weekend :)

The Vue docs are seriously amazing, I couldn't rap my head around React fully because its docs just weren't very good (though they've improved them since I last tried).
The amazing part is that Americans broken, non-universal, mostly-private but largely-public system spends more taxpayer money (per capita, for sure, but even as a share of GDP) than some countries that provide universal, mostly-to-entirely public, healthcare.

So it's not even saving your tax money to avoid universal coverage.

I rarely realize how late it is until my wife comes to demand I go to bed at 2 or 3 am. If deadlines and process at work stop you from refactoring all the code that bothers you, then Factorio will scratch that itch really well.
Hi everyone. I'm this immature who's made this blog post. Thanks for the feedback, I didn't expect so much people to care about my post, cause I mostly lead the blog for myself. There were about 20000 users seeing this while I had only 3000 for the last year.
So, if you have any questions for me as an author - please, write them down at this thread. I'll try to deal with all comments soon.
Can you speak to how much up front capital is invested to produce $3500/mo? If you put in $1000 initial capital, that is super impressive. If you put in $50K up front, then still nice, but more modest.
Hormonal birth control costs ~$500/year.

This procedure could cost less - far less - than that.

Unfortunately, market forces don't encourage investment in it.

Negative impacts:

- Men have no direct control over conception other than condoms

- Many women experience unwanted side-effects while on hormonal control

- Environmental impacts (waste, estrogen)

- Unwanted pregnancies from improper use

What Historians Wish People Knew About Drugs, Part II: Isaac Campos
> A troll has been defined in multiple ways in previous literature as a person who initially pretends to be a legitimate participant but later attempts to disrupt the community[26], as someone who “intentionally disrupts online communities”[77], or “takes pleasure in upsetting others” [47], or more broadly as a person engaging in “negatively marked online behavior” [37] or that “makes trouble” for a discussion forums’ stakeholders [9].

> In this paper, similar to the latter studies, we adopt a definition of trolling that includes flaming, griefing, swearing, or personal attacks, including behavior outside the acceptable bounds defined by several community guidelines for discussion forums [22, 25, 35].

You may have missed part of the relevant section there.
> Practically everything is a keyboard shortcut that needs to be memorized.

That's not true: most menus are displayed prominently next to their keyboard shortcut, as you can see from the screenshots in that very article. You can also simply use the arrows to pick the menu you want.

There's very little memorization required, the effort is learning how the interactions work and how they affect the game.

The point? How do you draw a line from "Fortune 500s use Mongo" to "Mongo is used by competent teams"?

I specifically challenge that you can do so, given a model of a large organization as being necessarily more diverse (regressing to the mean of general competency, more likely to have facts like "org Y uses tech X" being true) and more robust to survive failures as it grows.

We don't have data, but we can still model (if nothing else, to think about what data we would need).

Other answers failed to give examples of a set with positive finite measure, which is what you really need. What we want is a set that has no upper bound, but isn't really weird or tricky—if it's too tricky, then the uniform continuous distribution doesn't make any sense—and an easy way to do this is take a union of a countable set of intervals.

For example, consider a set that contains (0,1/2), (1,1+1/2), (2,2+1/4), ... etc, so interval i has measure 2^-i. It should be obvious that there is no largest element, and if you sum the measures of all the sets you will find that the measure is 1. A big chunk of "doing mathematics" is having a library of techniques on tap to come up with weird objects like this to attack assumptions.
Emacs is not complex at all, but it's easy to mess up if you don't do the C-h t tutorial and read the Emacs Lisp Intro. And if writing a couple lines of lisp to set up Cider is to difficult for someone, what will he do with Clojure?

The thing with Emacs is that it's a programming environment in which you're supposed to program. People want it to work like they want out-of-the-box, but that's like asking the Ruby interpreter to write your RoR application for you. With Emacs you don't reach median productivity on day one but maybe after a week or so, but then on your productiviry will increase and increase. But with other tools maybe you reach the median productivity on day one or two, but you stay thereabouts thereafter. And they eat up all your ram.
