Is now a good time to get into android development?
I'll be the devil's advocate: Maybe it's because players don't want more advanced AI? It's (IMO) gotten to the point where AI is good enough. There's certainly room for improvement but by and large it's serviceable to the point that at least in a mass-market FPS it doesn't actually need to be any better.

We might wish that the folks at EA or Activision make shiny cool AI (and I'm sure many of them there want to!) but in reality that doesn't really do a whole lot to benefit their paying customers.

Besides - "AI" in games is really about how to create stage pieces that simulate more complex behavior. Like all software development, it's mostly smoke and mirrors, and it's all about how smart you can set that up to give the user the impression of something magical.

I felt the same way over and over again throughout. Whether or not the author's primary language is English, it feels like it was written without proofreading or editing at all.
They didn't have much choice. The new territories had to go back because they were leased. So all that they could have held on to was Hong Kong island and Kowloon. There wasn't the infrastructure to maintain those areas. And China was a very different place in those days, the insane crap that they said to the British during handover negotiations made anything Donald Trump saying today look intelligent... It was a stressful time to be living there. So today Hong Kong is a Chinese colony instead of a slightly (yes, slightly) more benign British colony.
I can't find the source of the quote now (it was a Part III Introduction to Category Theory paper, I think) so I might have remembered it incorrectly, but Peter Freyd once said that the purpose of category theory was to prove that that which is trivial is trivial for trivial reasons. It certainly helped me as a mathematician, because it tells you what's actually hard and what is merely complicated. A while back, I wrote the final section ("Why is the product interesting?") of https://arbital.com/p/product_category_theory/?l=5zv, which attempts to explain one part of why CT is helpful.

You just said:

>I wouldn't have raised a family here before gentrification, but every month it seems more realistic...

So for young people not wanting to chance the 'gentrification lottery' you're describing with regard to their personal timeline, what you're proposing isn't reasonable.
people calling something "magic" within a context of computers and mysticism are two totally unrelated things. people don't literally think something is under the influence of a supernatural force.

and you may claim there is a reason behind everything, but good luck finding the reason. no one will ever find the reason for every single bug, issue, problem, etc. they come across. so just because there might exist a reason, the fact that it can't be practically found makes that stance a bit mystical itself.

Haven't caught an Uber in Melbourne, but I've caught both cabs and Ubers in Sydney and aside from a few dollars extra a fare and maybe a more service-y vibe in cabs, I've hardly noticed a difference. My Melbourne cab experiences were more or less the same as what I get in Sydney, but I much preferred taking rental bikes or the tram anyway.

What stands out for you in Ubers? I actually prefer the atmosphere of a cab - I really dislike the whole "let's be friends haha have a mint what music do you like I'm a Cool Guy™" Uber thing, I find it super corny and transparent. You're not my friend if I'm paying you for a service, and I know you're just gaming me to get your stars or a tip.
I work remote, and I like living in SF. I've lived and travelled to many places, and SF is my favorite, despite how expensive it is. I live in a 40 bedroom "hacker house", where else am I gonna find somewhere like that? I can discuss the latest javascript framework in the kitchen. I learn about new cryptocoins in the common room. I like living in the Mission, where new restaurants are popping up all the time.

It's also really convenient when I'm working on something really complicated for a client and I can take a 10 minute bus ride downtown to discuss in person.

Could I save literally thousands of dollars a month living somewhere else? Totally, but it wouldn't be the same.
While you certainly can, it isn't legal to do so. Plus it might not work very well.
Probably an outlier, but i really enjoy my commute, because its 20 minutes by bike so I bascially get 40 minutes of workout per day for free as i cycle at a decent pace.

I also enjoy working with a team in person, many of which became my friends. If I loose my job here, there are plenty of interesting alternatives to choose from. The city also offers a lot of non-work related things that i would not want to miss at this point in my life (no, it's not clubs)

After having worked 5+ years from home I am really happy about my decision to have moved to a big city (Berlin) 2 years ago and giving up working at home, it literally changed my life.

I'm glad you got that coaching, but I don't think that is very universal as a practice... My student loans were handed over with the usual fine-print paperweight. I had prior knowledge of how they worked, and fortunately never had to seek payment remediation, but that's just me being lucky. I want a system that mandates supportive care of the customer (who, in this case, is not a professional financial investor, but most likely a kid without a wealth of life experience to draw on).

There is work towards that end in Mexico. A selected few got a Supreme Court ruling that supports the legal use and growth of marijuana for personal use [1]. It didn't make it legal, but it sets precedence and a framework to keep the wheel moving to eventually make it legal like in other countries. Through this very same process last year the whole country make it same-sex marriage legal.

Hello from a cafe in Chiang Mai.

> Chiang Mai is very nice, but doesn’t have the Met, or steampunk masquerade parties or 50 foodie restaurants within a 15-minute walk.

That's true, I do miss museums, theater, and live music from my favorite bands. But there's some really fun events (Songkran is coming soon), you can find some good music, and there's a lot of really good restaurants.

If I had a lot more money, I would probably live in NYC, LA, Hong Kong, or Melbourne. But Chiang Mai is great for now.
Yah, but if one space is used to separate words shouldn't two spaces be used to separate sentences? Eh?
I make good money. Why would you expect me to live in the middle of nowhere when I can live in the greatest cities of the world?

As someone developing for VR I'm not sure I'd want to go on a weekend long "I'm gonna play through all of HL3" binge.

Even simple VR games can make you feel like you're moving when you're standing still or back you into a corner with enemies. HL3 might screw you up a little. HL2 did a very good job of matching the scene to the plot and that made for a more immersive experience. Add in VR and modern graphics and that's a level of realize that would probably be too much for a few people.

Yeah, maybe S.T.A.L.K.E.R. as well. I don't really think Fallout counts, but it could if you really stretch what you consider an FPS.

No idea why I'm getting downvoted. There are literally only a handful of first person shooters that are story-driven given the great majority that aren't: Quake, Doom, Duke Nukem, Sin, Wolfenstein, etc.

Saying that you miss the "old days" when first person shooters had stories makes no sense other than stirring some misguided Southpark-esque "'member when..." nostalgia.
This is still predicated on the assumption that there's a STEM shortage right?

Almost everyone I know who has a graduate degree in CS came here on a visa. The reason is because employers don't reward graduate degrees in CS with compensation commiserate with their costs.

So US nationals make the rational decision to not pursue a graduate degree. But if you're a foreign national, getting a graduate degree from a US school increases the likelihood of getting a Visa. So they make a different rational calculation.

If employers want their programmers to have graduate degrees they can make the bump in pay worthwhile, and American students will start pursuing graduate degrees.

The central problem I have with a loan like this is that it is tied to a socially encouraged activity that is central to most Americans' ideas of a successful path to adulthood. If we're going to socially encourage this, it needs to have some backstops to catch folks who fall.

Whether the collections is outsourced or insourced, your average student borrower isn't planning on having their life's trajectory fall apart. They aren't expecting the hardships that lead them to need remediation. However many warnings you provide them on the front end, it's at the time of crisis that they need advice and guidance. Navient has been horribly negligent and predatory in this regard. Anyone taking on the job of preferred collector of gov't loans should be required to act in the interests of the borrowers - aka the American public.
For other companies looking to get into YC, what do you think were the main factors that helped you get into the accelerator?
Sure it is. Thankfully that's not Adobe's decision to make.
The government offers very generous loan repayment options for student borrowers.

From what I understand, I don't think that the US government is generous at all with their student borrowers. Yes, they allow more flexibility around repayment options than do many other lenders. However, the government has largely eliminated the option of personal bankruptcy [1] for student loans. So, they're really just as complicit in this mess as the for-profit colleges and the loan collection agencies.

>>LOL it is the other way around, cities become most expensive because developers flock there and spend cash.

Startups flock to where the capital is. Proximity to capital makes it easier to meet investors, get noticed and get funded.
In college as an RA, I did detailed room audits before/after people moved in/out.

The best thing you can do before moving any of your stuff in is document any defects in detail (every single apartment has them).

The best thing you can do before finalizing moving out is to take photographs of how you left the place for evidence.

Ideally you have before/after photos to demonstrate things that may have been defective before you moved it but that you may be (mistakenly) charged for. Most people don't do this and have little recourse when the bill shows up.

Well I read a lot of papers and textbooks, because I am work a lot with distributed systems, outside of the stuff for the masses, a lot of it is actually reading work papers by theorists, and then implementing the concepts, usually haphazardly mashed together with others in a realistic way.

Don't believe me well zookeeper - paxos, riak - dynamo paper, cassandra - dynamo paper, go's CSP - hoares paper, Concurrent ML CSP - Hoares paper, bit torrent - kademlia, dynamo - chord, swim, b+ tree papers the list goes on and on

As for outside of that I used to read a lot of novels and books on philosophy until I was like 18, now I just read really fucked up Seinen Manga.

But like guys who are writing the compilers,servers, concurrency paradigms, etc. that you use have to read a lot even if it's limited to Tech.
I'm not so certain. The alternative might be to double or triple the pay of ultra-high-performing employees. But, ultimately, your performance at your job is bounded by the responsibilities of your role. You can possibly have a 2x impact, but the only way to have a 10x impact is to quit and go your own until you build something good enough to deserve it.

10xing someone's pay does not 10x their performance. It probably wouldn't even 2x it, even in a new role. But you can derive that kind of value through an acquisition.
I think my point on complexity probably stands. At early days, people were creating products from ground up. Now it's more incremental. At early days 100M might have meant doubling the revenue, but now, it's a mere fraction.

You can shave off latency and 1% improvement could result in 0.1% revenue gain (made up numbers).

You can improve relevancy of the ads by 1% and contribute to revenue similar amounts.

It's not really super hard.

The article assumes developers could and would build great companies working remotely if only conservative managers, VCs and others irrationally standing in the way would allow it to happen.

That day will probably come. It might even be here, but I seriously doubt it. I think it still takes a lot of personal interaction and teamwork, and the tech for it is still clumsy, incomplete and annoying enough that it's just not good enough.

Are there any great companies built from the ground this way?
TL;DR x86 is little-endian for compatibility with the Datapoint 2200.

From Stan Mazor's 1995 survey article "The History of the microcomputer - Invention and Evolution" from Proceedings of the IEEE, pp. 1601-1607, Dec. 1995,

A. Little Endian

Some have wondered why the addresses in the 8008 were
stored "backward" with the little end first, e.g., the low
order byte of a two byte address is stored in the lower
addressed memory location. I (regrettably) specified this
ordering as part of the JUMP instruction format in the spirit
of compatibility with the Datapoint 2200. Recall that their
original processor was bit serial; the addresses would be
stored low to high bit in the machine code (bit backward).
Other computer makers organize the addresses with the "big
end" first. The lack of standardization has been a problem
in the industry.

I used to live in SF. It was exciting, but also shitty. I felt connected and alive, which was great, but also drained of resources, which really sucked. Oh, and there were 6 of us, in a 3 bedroom apartment. I had the living room. Yea.

I lasted 3 years, until I met my wife, and by then I was ready to move. We did.

Now, life in the suburbs, is slow. I feel somewhat disconnected and like I don't really belong to this community. My neighbor is a teacher, not a tech worker. I miss the buzz of the city, the energy. But, I'm saving money, and, working remotely is mostly positive (though I do yearn for office banter more and more).

Life I guess, is all about trade offs. Rarely have I found a situation that is entirely positive, or negative. Most, if you look closely enough, are a balance of good and bad. For me now in my life, the reassurance that I will be able to retire some day, is worth more to me than the excitement of the city. That may change... we shall see.

If it does change, I'll be lured back to the city for the exact reasons the article states. The city itself, is the draw. There's something about living in an urban environment, for some people, it's just a pace of life more resonant with their existence.
Which leads me to learn that the 6 “Alpha Regions” of the world are SF, LA, NYC, Boston, Toronto, London, Paris.
Even if it’s not perceived to be at the center of the technological metamorphose, Paris is still being seen as a place where you can get stuff done.

It’s also one of the places in the world where you will get the most infrastructure, meaning technological infrastructure but also political, democratic, social, medical, legal, education and even cognitive infrastructure.

Yes, you get what you pay for.
This is how they want you to use it:

> Trademarks are proper adjectives and should be followed by the generic terms they describe.

> Correct: The image was manipulated using Adobe® Photoshop® software.

Adobe's own marketing pages consistently use the ostensibly "incorrect" usage though: http://www.adobe.com/au/products/photoshop.html
As we learned from the aftermath of the last major meltdown, banks do a lot of deals that require more than just a Bloomberg terminal. If anything, deals like ( http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/goldman-bet-... ) require more physical presence, as nobody wants to leave a paper trail.
It doesn't matter what the actual status of the word in common usage is, they just have to show they are attempting to protect the trademark so that they can litigate to protect it in specific instances.

Adobe thoroughly enjoys the fact that 'photoshop' is synonymous with image editing. They just have to pretend otherwise. See also band-aid, aspirin, Hoover, Kleenex. (iOS capitalized the last two but not the first two)

Most employers don't like remote employees. I go where the jobs are, and that happens to pay more because there's more companies fighting for developer talent. I'd go back to a smaller city in a heartbeat if I could find a job paying the same amount of money, or even just the same adjusting for CoL, but I doubt I'd find that. In larger cities I think pay goes up a lot faster than CoL does.
