Breath of the Wild is getting fantastic reviews from critics right now. It currently has a 98/100 on Metacritic [1], an aggregator for video game reviews. This makes is the #4 highest rated game of all time on their site [2]

One thing that is really interesting to me is that they are going back to the roots of the original Zelda: with exploration and discovery being a key part of the game. So much so that they made prototypes in the original Zelda style: http://www.polygon.com/2017/3/1/14780954/the-legend-of-zelda.... This to me seems like a great strategy of helping communicate the 'soul' of something to team members by imitating the original before building the spiritual successor.
No, but traveling to Europe for work helped to change perspective.
It's true that 1 year support is not as long as many enterprise infrastructure products. We plan to expand it over time. But we've found that it's a good fit for our current offering, and the value enterprises are getting from it.

- Keep in mind we are releasing Docker EE quarterly, and supporting every release for a year. This is attractive for enterprises who are adopting Docker in part to make their software practice more agile. They don't want to be forced to upgrade every 3 months. But they appreciate that they can. This works for Docker because it sits relatively higher on the stack. If we were providing a storage appliance, or a traditional host operating system, this wouldn't make sense

- For a company of our size and maturity (300 people, 4 year-old free product, 18 months-old paid product), earning the trust of large conservative enterprises can be hard. We do it by being honest about our abilities, conservative in what we promise, and going above and beyond to deliver on what we promised. In this case, we simply weren't confident that we could promise more than 4 simultaneous EE releases (1 year support x 4 releases per year). That might cost us sales opportunities now with more conservative buyers, but those buyers would probably have been unhappy with us anyway. We can get them later - when our product is more mature and our release and support infrastructure is more robust.

EDIT: I see other commentors confidently stating what is and isn't enterprise-ready. Remember that enterprises are, by definition, very large. There are many departments with different goals and different priorities. For some of them, Docker EE with quarterly releases and 1-year support is a good fit. For other, it's not. And that's OK.

This really strikes me as wrong. I can't quite put my finger on why.

It's like if I'm watching my friend go through a hard time, this removes my responsibility to connect with them? I can just ask robots at Facebook to do the dirty emotional work for me. How messed up is that?

We're outsourcing emotional labor to robots now? like if I get uncomfortable supporting my friend, i can click a button to have robots do it instead?

An actual handcrafted message from someone saying "hey, it sounds like you're hurting. what do you need?" would mean far more to me than a popup from Facebook that says "An Unnamed Friend has Activated Crisis Response Protocol! Deploying Support Resources ..."
One idea for a side project I have (that I lack time for) is an app (or maybe a keyboard, I don't know how far one can push Android's keyboards, but from what I saw it could be quite far) for editing Lisp code. Could be useful with e.g. ECL app, but personally, I'd use that to do quick fixes / small bursts of development while away from home / office.
Be careful, as your sources are suspect and don't speak to his research.

Your mashable link is a summary of a piece from Glover Park Group, in their own words they turn 'strategies into outcomes', so they seem to be a firm that gets paid to shape public opinion. For that reason alone we should dismiss the messenger.

While your 'the conversation.com' link seems broken, but searching on their site for Hansen returns a first result that is critical of carbon tax programs, seemingly favoring emissions trading. Yet, emissions trading is largely seen as benefiting banks to give them a new financial instrument to trade while not actually reducing carbon emissions. So, I'm left somewhat skeptical about conclusions coming from that site as well.

What I'd rather see is a critique of Hansen's papers coming from the scientific community. I would give that an honest read and open consideration.
Not a great name choice.

I'm not familiar at all with Amazon's cloud, so I might be misinterpreting... but when you say "sometimes reuse..." and "they're often still there..." it sounds to me like they might as well not be? How would that be a good foundation for an app deployed in Lambda?

If neither monitor has HDMI 2.0 then an RX470 would be required to get dual DisplayPort outputs.

rkt's unit of execution is pods; most users are simply running pods with only one container, though.

rktnetes leverages the fact that rkt can natively execute a whole pod to avoid a lot of the extra code integrating with Kubernetes that docker requires.
Never heard of this on the west coast. You mean there is beer made east of the beerocracy states of Washington & Oregon? At least the hops must come from here, right :-)

I wish it was available around here, but the legally required liquor industry beer industry middlemen have too much power in what gets imported. In the Seattle area there are dozens of brewerys in the city, plus zillions in surrounding areas. There are so many it's virtually impossible to have visited all of them, much less heard of them.
I can see myself buying a Switch just for this, once the bugs (such as left controller disconnect issue) with the console are fixed.
There are two very valid points here: activism and alignment. I intentionally chose not to bring up alignment because it's tiring in circles like HN and/or SF. Additionally, bubbles like this aren't unique to the bay area. The focus on causes and activism is much more unique.

I think ECC is in a different category than MHz or core count because with a lower frequency or fewer cores you may get your result slower but it will be the same result as a top end chip.

Without ECC you may get a completely wrong answer when the increasingly small, vulnerable, and numerous dram cell is flipped.

> the latest news about who may or may not have spoken to an ambassador

I agree, that would be a "garden-variety political story." This isn't that story. This is a story about the Attorney General of the United States lying under oath and perjuring himself to Congress.

It doesn't really matter what kind of news aggregator you're running: tech, sports, gardening... that's a story that should be at the top of all of them.
4,000 troops? Ok.
But I think the thing that makes it impactful is that in these kinds of interventions, it comes from one of your friends.

In the intervention that Facebook proposes, the victim only sees a popup from Facebook, not a friend. The person who generated that popup isn't even named. It's very impersonal.

If I were suicidal, the only thing this popup would tell me is that I made one of my viewers uncomfortable, and that they weren't willing to connect in person. I imagine that would only serve to amplify my shame and make me feel even worse.
Historically Sweden has not been invaded in quite a long time, right?
> Would you do it if you had the choice between that or adding new money making features/fixing bugs?

Of course I would, because people are going to benchmark my software against my competitor's software and choose the one that runs faster on their hardware.

Especially if my software is a compiler and people are benchmarking the programs it produces against other compilers, which is where most of the optimizing actually happens these days.

> I just can't see how your explanation of "Maybe his hands are tied" plays out in the real world.

I don't think that's a good characterization of my position.

> I'm also not sure what kind of context would cast opening with 'we are also talking to the NRA about running ads within the story' in a good light. That's presented as a direct quote, not an inference.

And quotes have never been presented out of context before? All I'm saying is that in a story where both sides have not released any sort of statement clarifying the situation or their position, and there are just emails to go by, I would feel more comfortable if I was able to see the full email when presented with the scenario in question, rather than quotes taken out of the email and presented in the narrative of the article.

> If tech.mic is inventing things out of whole cloth here, then Snapchat has grounds for a libel suit.

That's not the only option though. It could very well be a fairly ambiguous chain of emails, and rational people might disagree on how to interpret them. I don't like having that chance denied me, nor being told how to interpret the situation through limited releases of information.

Edit: See https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/01/leaked-emails-put-spotligh... for Snapchat's statement. It's along the lines of what I figured it would be in my first comment, but that's an obvious way to reply whether true or not, and as I noted, at this point it's all in the hands of Pr departments.
huge caveat: I haven't read the piece yet, but had to quickly respond to you. This is probably totally inside baseball for beer snobs. For me, Heady Topper is the beer that made me a beer snob. Never understood why anyone would ever stand in line to buy beer but sadly now I do.

The most interesting aspect of their story is that it seems to somewhat defy market gravity...they keep their prices pretty steady (very expensive), supply is limited, and demand keeps growing. I'm no historian or expert but I think they've been a market creator in this style of recipe (Lawsons, Hill Farmstead, Trillium, Fiddlehead, etc). That might be wildly inaccurate, so take it for what it's worth.

Again, haven't the read the piece but had to respond.
My experience is the same.

The 80 hour a week salary (no overtime) culture is also prone to people just goofing off. So sure you are in the office 80 hours but only 30 of those are productive hours (at most).

If you know you're expected to work 80 hours you will be on the clock 80 hours but not all of it will be "work."

I found that with shorter work days people stay more focussed and make better use of their time because they know they need to.
Ohhhh man. You have no idea what you're missing out on. There is great beer all across the US. We get some beers from Washington and Oregon and California (Rouge and Stone come to mind immediately), but there are a ton of beers from the East Coast and the Great Lakes that are beyond fantastic. Check em out sometime!
Optimism isn't science and at the scale of the problem it is a mistake that gets to happen only once.

The permafrost thaw and associated carbon release is not new. For example, David Lawrence presented a model of its impact in the Stanford EE380 Colloquium on April 5, 2006, over a decade ago. The talk is no longer online, but his slides and abstract are available. http://ee380.stanford.edu/Abstracts/060405.html The phenomenon and its impact were not a new discovery even then.

One interesting counter to Instacart are services like grocerkey (http://www.grocerkey.com/) that exist as whitelabel instacart's for stores. That local chain that everyone knows probably doesn't want to send all their customers to instacart if they don't have to. I'm not sold on Instacart being something people use outside of a few major cities, but maybe that's enough for them.

To clarify the timeline a little bit here... Rosehub wasn't actually motivated by the MUNI hack, as it predated it by 8 months (Rosehub started in March 2016, MUNI hack was announced in November). As noted in the blog post, it was instigated by Justine seeing that open source packages weren't updating their dependencies to protect themselves, then doing some digging and realizing just how widespread the problem was.

However, the MUNI hack certainly did motivate being more public about the project and writing this blog post, since it really helped underscore the severity of this vulnerability in very real, concrete terms.
Well, lots more people live in those small areas you refer to.

I've worked some bullshit jobs from time to time. It's pretty easy to tell that you could disappear and nothing would effectively change. But at the same time, it's also generally pretty easy to justify your existence if you need the paycheck, too.

The existence of most of those jobs relies on the risk intolerance of executives. They don't know for certain which people in their organization are basically bullshitting and could be fired tomorrow, and they're not willing to take the risk of firing the wrong person and screwing the entire company/team/organization. So they let things go, as long as they're making money (or, really, as long as their neck isn't personally in a noose for not making money). Periodically, companies will try to determine which employees can really be cut when money is tight, but it's surprisingly hard to determine even from one or two management levels above a particular employee whether they are really adding value or just creating the appearance of it.

All you really need to do as an employee in a "bullshit job" is create just enough doubt as to whether or not you're somehow important, on some level or in some situation, so that nobody is willing to take the risk of firing you. That's it.

I'm glad I don't have one of those jobs right now, but if push came to shove and it was between collecting a paycheck for a bullshit job or getting my house foreclosed on, I'd do it again. As I suspect most people would, and probably will depending on how many of the "everything will get automated" predictions come true. In a workplace with a lot of opaque automation, it wouldn't be especially hard to create the appearance of adding value just by not screwing anything up, and/or occasionally screwing something up on purpose only to "fix" it and demonstrate value (or give an implied threat of what might happen if you were fired).
I can do something mindlessly repetitive for 12 hours in a row with no problem, but if I need to apply judgment, expertise, or rational thought, I usually can go no more than 5 or 6 hours before my brain needs a rest. The focus starts to flag after 4, and the rate of decline increases after that.

I assume by default that anyone programming for 70 hours a week is producing good code for 25 hours of it, marginal code for 20, bad code for 15, and godawful WTF garbage for 10.

If the schedule is to work from 7 AM to noon, lunch for an hour, nap for an hour, and work from 2 PM to 7 PM, for each of the 7 days per week, that might actually get 50 hours of good code and 20 of decent code... until that person burns out hard after three months.

70 hour work weeks for knowledge workers is a very obvious sign of dangerously incompetent management. The only conceivable reason for it is to institute it as a temporary measure to meet a deadline when someone is actually going to die if you miss it. And then, you have to throttle the hours way back afterward to prevent resentment and burnout.

> A more outgoing person might seem agro, if that's not what you're used to.

That was my experience coming from a large town/small city to bigger places. Random dude I don't know started talking to me, that put me on alert. It was stressful. Why is this guy talking to strangers? Is he crazy? Is he sizing me up to attack me? It did not feel laid back.

There's a stereotype of small towns as being places where everybody talks to everybody, but my hometown was big enough that you didn't know everybody, and people only talked to who they knew. Maybe in really small towns people talk to everybody because they know everybody, and in cities people talk to strangers because they're always surrounded by strangers, but what was familiar (and hence "laid back") to me in my upbringing was to ignore people you didn't know. If you were curious about someone you didn't know, you'd wait until they were gone and then ask your friend, "Do you know who that was?" Any interaction with a stranger would be preceded by a sincere apology and a REALLY good excuse.

This is a compiler optimization, not an application optimization. I'd certainly add -march=zen as a compiler flag for my application.

Live a lifestyle by then which is very inexpensive and build up savings.

Meaning: Own your own property. Reduce or eliminate long term contracts (vehicle loans, two year commitments, etc). Reduce overall spending (so your savings last longer).

There's a reason why, in 2008, retirees as a group were least impacted. They had more stable lifestyles that didn't depend on an active job. Plus even if the AI revolution never happens, this strategy has benefits for the next recession, illness, or other unemployment.
Right. They should be legitimized and licensed so companies like Lyft can provide different features (wifi, extra clean vehicles, scheduled rides, all-you-can-ride plans, etc.) and different lines.

"Kubernetes is a component (like containerd or swarmkit)...Docker is a platform...(like Cloud Foundry or Openshift)"

I think that's pushing k8s farther to the left of what it really is, and pushing Docker farther to the right of what it really is.

k8s, for example, incorporates service discovery. As far as I can tell, swarmkit does not. k8s incorporates networking, containerd does not. Similar for things like ingress load balancing.

There are certainly potential customers debating, directly, k8s vs your full Docker platform, even if there are some gaps they have to fill with other software.
I think the best example of this is Doom 3. It looked incredible at the time (even on the Xbox on release in 2005), but it has not aged well. Maybe today's games hold up better, but photorealism is always gonna be competing with tomorrow.

On the other hand, BotW has framerate drops and limitations on the Switch and it was designed for a console that was underpowered five years ago, which doesn't bode well.
Now you're acting like the geologist on Mars doesn't have a radio to talk to all his colleagues back on Earth.
