Honestly I don't use the game client at all for coding. In my experience you're better off using a simple grunt task to push code to the server, and otherwise developing locally and keeping everything in git. The in game editor sucks, and you can do some fun post processing things with grunt.

The game client is pretty awful performance wise, but they're doing a rewrite that looks like it will be awesome.
As others have mentioned, it is being used differently.

Snapchat adoption is crazy high where I am, but most of those people are still on Facebook too—they just use them differently.

They often don't see it that way - they see goals, not purposes, and suppressing competition is one of the more common and obvious means to achieve that goal.
PDP was popular before Disney became involved, if Howard Stern's advertisers knew what they were getting then Disney should have known as well. You provide Stern an excuse but then deny the same excuse to PDP.
I don't think a brain can compute something a TM can compute. The brain, however, is not a simple universal turing machine in the sense that it doesn't have a finite set of instructions and an infinite tape-band. I don't subscribe to the Penrose school of thought on this matter.

Apple forcibly prevented flux from working on iOS. [1]

It worked fine on my iPad 2. Apple killed it, and then withheld the feature from me until I brought a new iPad.

It would be like if they reached into your computer and locked the sound output to a certain volume, and told you to fix it by buying a new macbook.

> LGBT folk are pretty welcome in Israel

They are if they're Israeli (and white). People of Palestinian descent living in Israel (as well as Jewish Arabs who are not Palestinian, to a lesser extent) have a very different experience with being gay in Israel.
I think there may be a misunderstanding there. The community has built a ton of third party tools ( https://github.com/screepers ) and even has it's own alliance tracking site ( http://www.leagueofautomatednations.com/ ). I can't imagine anyone just using the ingame tools.
This is why I stopped helping/participating in ##javascript on Freenode, and I don't think I'm alone. [Nicks of two enthusiastic mods redacted] made it clear (in channel as well as in private /msg) that any perceived troublemaking, if it could be distorted to break a CoC rule, would result in the user being blacklisted at most major JavaScript events. Who would accept that career risk? Having your name on such a list would be devastating. Increasingly, small groups of SJW-types (sorry, I can't think of a better description right now) are controlling mainstream open source communities.

It seems these days more and more like if you want to actively participate in open source, you either have to fit a narrow definition of a Good Person, or else be a cold oracle of code, producing nothing but fact.
Additionally, it may be a way of hedging their bets. If it all goes smoothly, great. However, if it turned into a big flaming dumpster fire, an iOS point release has a lot less to lose than a major release (and the associated new hardware that comes with one).

"iOS Update Causes Widespread Outages" plays a lot differently with the average person on the street (who already distrusts software updates in general) than "New iPhone Fundamentally Flawed". Feel free to craft your own hyperbolic headlines, but hopefully you get the idea.

If there is any way to link software issues with an iPhone launch, media outlets will do it to grab views from people considering a purchase (i.e., damage to the product launch). The same isn't true of an update; it damages the perception of the ecosystem, but most people don't even know what a software ecosystem is.

> Pricing in the US is not cost-based

I think this speaks for the whole issue ... there are some markets where this makes sense. I don't believe that it makes any sense in the healthcare market - and per-capita US healthcosts vs other nations would seem to bear that out.
I read their about page and their newest post. It was a lot to take in. It was concerning that all the screening had that windows look and feel.

And when the unsustainable "subsidized growth" period ends, Lyft will be the new word on the street. It's not exactly a high barrier to entry to hear about and install a new app in this day and age.

If your reasoning is entirely anecdata, there's really no point in you engaging in threads about where businesses are going, since you'd only ever have something to contribute after it already happened.
I would strongly suspect that there is absolutely no technical justification for this decision at all.

This was a political and marketing decision, to punish customers who use third party devices. This falls neatly into line with Apple's agenda.

Apple refused to support TRIM on SSDs, unless you make on small patch to their kext. I would imagine that there is something similar for this feature.

That would be a damn hard thing to pass, and the drug companies would fight it tooth and nail.

It's brilliant. My favorite.
They said that about electric cars? They had electric buses before they had petrol ones. In most ways electric is actually simpler. We've just been waiting for the batteries, and Tesla didn't do anything revolutionary there. Tesla saw the batteries were finally there and found a way to hype, market and sell electric cars successfully. That's praiseworthy. The self-driving stuff and over-the-air software updates are also cool. Lots of innovation there. But making electric cars has never been that hard per se.
The two-level grammars are doing things in two steps: parsing of part of the text yields a grammar for parsing the rest of it.

The Algol-68 was specified using two level grammar and if I understand it correctly, the declaration part constrained parsing of the statement part so that only valid expressions can be parsed. Parsed statements are valid in the semantic sense, i.e., the subscription can be applied only to array values and parser will reject subscription for scalar values.

To generate the grammar you need to execute some function. And this function depends on the part of input.
So far Linux lacking only GUI backend support, everything else should work fine. You can still play with guy crosscompiling (as easy as `red -t Windows file.red`) and running on Wine, while GTK backend is in progress
A semi off-topic note:

As shown in the linked thread, this Hacker News submission was promoted via an image of the submitted link in /newest. This is a modern form of vote manipulation (although in this case perhaps unintentionally) which seems to be the rage nowadays, especially on a certain other social-voting website. (The content of the submission is good/important regardless, but others should keep in mind that this form of voting manipulation isn't clever)
Good find - the video of the crane 'vertically relocating' itself is pretty amazing.
The basic idea of collective bargaining isn't really illegal when applied to a employers in general, because it's already the norm on that side of the table. A group of businesspeople with mutual economic interest can legally "collude" when they decide what wages to offer employees, how to structure working conditions, how to carry out negotiations, etc., if they agree to form a legal partnership (you don't even need the newer legal fiction of unitary corporate personhood, just a classic partnership structure). Then colluding in business matters is not only legal, but expected. Why can't employees of such a partnership likewise "collude" when bargaining over wages and working conditions, forming into a single joined legal entity that sits opposite the joined legal entity of businesspeople on the other side of the table? It seems much more asymmetrical to say that the group of businesspeople can legally form a partnership to coordinate their economic activities for mutual gain, but the employees must each bargain individually and cannot form a, let's call it "workers' partnership", or union of workers, to likewise coordinate their economic activities for mutual gain.

One thing I find interesting: Will we will see some version of the odd asymmetries between corporate and union law tested out in the courts as the gig economy grows? A company providing labor, for example, can legally ask for exclusivity agreements. Aramark, a big catering contractor, does that frequently. A union can't, though; an exclusivity deal for employees, saying that catering staff can only be hired from a certain union, is banned as a "closed shop" under the Taft-Hartley act. What about a partnership of gig-economy workers? If they're not employees, it seems like they should be able to push for deals more like Aramark ones, even though unions can't do that.
King Rat looks interesting.
Thanks for clarifying.

The negative impact of such a decision wouldn't just be on Uber employees, but also the 500,000 drivers actively using their app; on average making $30K per year. A large fraction of these people are probably depending solely on this income to make ends meet.

In an ideal world, there'd be an immediate replacement for Uber for all these drivers to switch over. However, we all know that's wishful thinking. At best, capacity would only be halved, which still means you'd effectively be letting go of 250K people tomorrow.

Imo, even if your goal is to enact maximum punishment on Travis and Co, doing so THROUGH punishing the company is a really destructive way to accomplish said task.
That's all well and good until the entire university is the safe space.

Also, that entire last paragraph requires a great of assumption and stereotyping on your part.
Construction codes are all about outlawing bad decisions.

Of course, those are "bad" decisions that save a few penny from the builders, and stay hidden until they surprise the building owner with a huge unpredictable cost. No water lines to urinals fits that descriptions nicely.

The tuple! type supports 3-12 segments, but only 0-255 in each segment, which is a byte. So it's used for colors, IPv4, and can be stretched for custom purposes. IPv6 doesn't have a literal form, though it's been discussed. One of the problems is that lexical space is tight and supporting it specifically may lead to ambiguity with time! values. Also, the colon is an important delimiting character, which makes having hex coded value ambiguous as well.
Space Cadets Dice Duel? Because there's no point in having children if not to press-gang them into being your starship crew? Its a silly game yet funny. Its physically kinda continuously active for everyone and battles don't seem to last long. Imagine if everyone is literally simultaneously playing Yahtzee and achievements give your ship power to maneuver and blow up the other ship, kinda.

They have to be literate beyond the Uno level to play Fluxx. You have to pay attention continuously, which is either good or bad... Fluxx is highly random.

No Thanks is the kind of highly abstract game that a five year old can play without understanding any strategy thereby horribly losing yet drunken adults can turn it into something like ultra high stakes poker complete with somebody whipping out a calculator to determine the optimum bluff based on extensive card counting and possibly faulty beliefs about statistics. Its mostly a dumb memory game with at least two or three strategic levels of statistical analysis above it to determine optimal bluffing patterns. This game can be carried to excess by adults at thanksgiving ... yet chilled out adults or kids can have fun. Its kinda like monopoly in that the odds of a yelling match breaking out are anomalously high.

Red7 is an exercise in creating complexity out of not much, for better or worse. Too much complexity for really little kids. Middle school is OK.

The kids have to be sneaky to place Sheriff of Nottingham. Watching people get away with, or not get away with smuggling keeps the attention pretty well. You're allowed to give the Sheriff "advice" which means the kids end up screaming thru the entire game.

Hey Thats My Fish is pretty good above toddler eating the pieces but below later elementary school. Sorta area control mixed with a memory game.

My experience with minecraft indicates kids have an attention span of about sixteen hours if they enjoy what they're doing. If they don't enjoy what they're doing their attention span isn't a millisecond longer than your average fifty year old, but they are much more brutally honest about their lack of interest than your average fifty year old. My wife's attention span for Caverna or power grid is about the same as my teen kids, she's just nicer about tolerating Dad's game night than the kids are.

I see a general pattern above that kids will sandbox a game if they're too young to understand it and the sandbox is fun enough.

Delia Shumway, a professional engineer and the executive director of the agency’s Cranes and Derricks Unit when the Skypicker was approved, emailed me that Chandler confused the Skypicker revocation with a ruling about an entirely different crane.

Shumway wrote, “He’s the one that’s misinformed. The piece of equipment that he’s referring to was not the Skypicker but IBK’s knockoff of the Skypicker. That machine was not in compliance. There was never any argument about that.”

Acceptable defect rate is the defect rate that does not result in an Ars article pointing out the defect rate of your product.
Great work on this! I've not touched ASM in nearly 20 years (I first learnt C and then a bit of ASM to crack software using Softice!)

This really makes me want to blow the dust off the RaspberryPi (we all bought one and never used it: admit it) and get this up and running, just to see it working.
Elon Musk talks about global warming all the time. He even says Tesla is just a means to an end of saving the planet from global warming.
I think one of the points of its colloquial usage is as a form of protest to force us to reflect on our culture.

It's asking us to think about why the term bugs us, as well as how helpless it feels to be unable to stop being dismissed with terms like these no matter how much you explain it. We all have to change.
Not exactly the type of speculative high-risk investment you're talking about, but I've been thinking about a script to automatically re-balance my ETF portfolio. This can potentially decrease the time I spent thinking about my investments from the current ~4 hours a year. I can still benefit from a long-term 7% ROI.
You can outlaw bad decisions. That's the whole point of laws.
> Then there's the issue (some might argue it's a plus) that Rust is at the same time a language, a lib, and the only compiler implementation

This was essentially the case for C and C++ as well for somewhere around 5-15 years a piece, depending on how you measure it.
There's practically a limitless supply of people that would do it for $10 million.

The problem is finding someone worth paying that much (and the pretense that whether someone is worth paying that much can be determined ahead of time).
HAMMER2 has been worked on for at least 6 years; AFAICT by one guy. Every year it is supposed to be happening Real Soon Now, but never appears to make any evident progress.

Matt Dillon does very impressive work, but the critical mass just isn't there.
> He doesn't want to break the ecosystem around curl, which is huge, while getting back to feature parity and compatibility during a full rewrite

Very good point! However, rewrite doesn't have to break the existing ecosystem and it can happen in a parallel track right? (curl has had 1.5k contributors so far so the community should have enough support to maintain existing codebase while developing new version on a new programming language hypothetically speaking.)

In fact, I would argue that the "it works now and has been working for 15 years so we don't rock the boat" attitude is negatively impacting the curl ecosystem in the long run. I'm a python developer, a good example I can give you to support my view is the python 2.x to py3k transition (If the "better unicode support" is analogous to "memory safety bug avoidance").

Posting an image makes it obvious what to upvote. (as opposed to replying "I posted on Hacker News")

But even then that would technically be vote manipulation because it's drawing attention to an immature submission. (and there is little genuine reason to do so. The only counterexample I can think of is using HN as a comments section)
Snow Crash had a big influence on me. Siddhartha too, and most recently, Reality Begins with Consciousness by Neppe and Close.
In that case, we are just transferring artistic control from one human into another. In the past recording audio had fairly little artistic control and the subjects of the recording most of the control. Now with better audio manipulation software the person doing the recording has artistic tools at their disposal. They are the 'photographers' of the scene, while the singer is the subject.
I don't think it's content owners playing games. AFAIK Netflix declines to renew content, even if the deal isn't any worse than it was last time, in order to devote the money to new content.
I used to think, every so often, "Don't they realize that I'd do this even if they didn't pay me?"

But then I got married, had children, the kids grew up and needed braces and cars and college. I really need work that pays well right now, whether or not I like the work.
I was referring to the images and PDFs that would normally not be searchable.
Or in the case of the BBC, they use "The Islamic State group", or "the so-called Islamic State", as an effort of denying them any legitimacy as an actual state.
> I don't want to compete with AI. I want AI to create efficiency and wealth so I can relax and have a leisure lifestyle. This shows that work-a-holic CEO culture is only about margins and gains and not improving lifestyle and quality of life.

I suspect, though I'm not 100% sure, that when Musk speaks about AI "competition" there's an implication of existential danger. If true, then from his POV it would not so much about "I want to min-max my CEO experience" but "I'd rather we not go extinct within my children's lifetime"
> You sidestepped the workplace death question

No, I didn't.

We have an entire legal and regulatory bureaucracy dedicated to improving working conditions in dangerous work places.

I'm pretty willing to bet that the cost of that bureaucracy -- per year -- is easily several orders of magnitude more than all the money spent to date on encouraging women to take STEM jobs.

I could Google it for you, but this is apparently an issue dear to your heart, so I'm sure you're well aware.

Are these protections perfect? No. We should strengthen them! Also, we should have less gender disparity in STEM. I'm really still missing the zero-sum relationship between these two things... could you help me out?

> Why are we so worried about forcing women into STEM no matter what, but we don't care about forcing them into the jobs that cause all those workplace deaths

1. Who said anything about "forcing"?

2. HUGE elephant in the room: because this is a tech-focused message board. Again, why is it so surprising that we're discussing the tech industry as opposed to the healthcare or education industries?

> nursing... teachers

Great. Someone should do something about that.

Still not sure why you think any of this is a reason for software engineers to refrain from discussing and addressing similar culture problems within software engineering firms.

Discussing gender disparities between different fields is not, in fact, a zero-sum game.
Mini-booklet on Trigonometry (LaTeX)
Don't underestimate the tiling - iirc it is the job with the highest risk of becoming physically unable to continue working. (edit: "tiler" seems to be the job of tiling roofs. I found a list in German that puts it at 2nd highest risk, after scaffolder. Tiling (presumably) bathroom floors is at position 7 on that list of jobs most risky for becoming physically unable to continue working).

Looking at the male jobs in your list (the bottom of the list?), it seems to me there are a lot of them with high physical risk. For example fire fighter, or wood worker (? "forest face mask" - not sure what that is supposed to be, but if it is woodworker, that is the job with the highest lethality). Concrete worker sounds quite physical. There was an article about grip strength on HN which mentioned mechanics might have become weaker because of automated tools, so that seems to have involved some physical strain at least historically. Plumbing might actually be rather strenuous, too?

Anyway, I don't claim to have all the answers, just theories. Physical strength would of course not apply to all job segregation, I mentioned other factors in my previous post.
Humans are typically the weak link in a security strategy... so I think this would make them harder to hack.
