A valid point if I was working on any academic research. Or if the history carried any relevancy beyond a curiosity. I understand the concern with secondary source, however that was specifically why I added a disclaimer stating "if that author is to believed", or something to that effect. Regardless, thanks for taking the time to explain your concern as it may help others.
I was speaking about RTS and in the sense of Age of Empires 1 and Empire Earth. The main dev of both this titles Rick Goodwell mentioned A* was used in Empire Earth the first time, older AoE1 used an older less CPU intensive algo.

@omginternets:

> dates back ... extension of ... adds a few heuristics.

Blabla, BS.

Fact is Empire Earth was one of the very first computer games to use A* algo. Age of Empires 1 used a worse faster different algo.

Fact is in the age before Wikipedia and Google, decade old papers of obscure algos were more or less lost and forgotten. They were written on paper with no digital copy readly available. So game devs often reinvented things without not knowing of previous work, it took several years until the early 2000s that this old stuff got scanned and made public viewable.
It would make the picture too cluttered, I think.
I beg to differ, security by obscurity only gives a false sense of security and hats have all kind of colors.

Serge Humpich[1] worked with decommissioned ATMs, found and expose a vulnerability allow to withdraw cash with a card not linked to a bank account. Of course instead of listening and fixing the issue the banks tricked him and sued and gave rise to the yescard which forced the banks to patch up their security and replace ATMs. But hey, banks can't do the right choice all the time, can they?

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words. The target was definitely for smaller museums that lack the time and budget for a full tour. I noticed a lot of these museums don't have audio tours which I think is a shame.

I actually had the options to include custom audio and record audio in the browser. I took them out to simplify the product but I would definitely consider re-implementing them if there was demand.
See project like metakernel [1], in the end a kernel can be "just" controlling process that manage multiple language. So why you won't get "multiple kernel" you can get "one kernel with multiple language". Its just asking for "multiple kernel" which not the best way to describe what you want to do. In the end it the same excpet you do the language dispatch in the backend instead of the frontend. It's also more efficient for data sharing.

[2] show you haw Hydrogen (based on Jupyter as well), does it.

And [3] (mine), show you how in the the same notebook to use Python, R, C, Rust, Fortran, Cython and Julia with data sharing and sending functions back and forth between languages. I was definitively lazy and did not include things like SQL, javascript and a few others. I haven't used spark in a while, and definitively never from scala directly, but I doubt it would be much harder to do as the C/Rust/Fortran/Cython took me an afternoon to write.

starting to work on a Windows machine means downloading and installing basic tools

While that is true, it's a bit of a moot point imo. I have yet to see an OS which had everything I needed for any actual work installed out of the box. As such, the way to deal with this is have a script download/install everything for you (and eventually copy or link all configuration files). Using Powershell getting any of the examples you mention is basically a one-liner just like for other package management tools, something like `openssh, miniconda, strawberryperl, conemu | Install-Package`. Or you can go more of a DSC way with Powershell Dsc.
The idea of reusing A* was amazing, but what it really means is that all the actions are implemented as C++ classes. This is just a consequence (of reuse A*); but in fact it's a breakthrough in terms of planning runtime. On current average machines, GOAP in F.E.A.R. builds plans in far less than 1 milli-second.

Whereas academic planners at the time were struggling with PDDL (a symbolic declarative language for describing planning domains -- i.e. problems and actions which can appear in plans), GOAP rewrites all the actions in C++. Then, no problem for procedural preconditions and postconditions, for instance: just call C++ code to check what you have to.

>I love OSX but never understood why people pay so much for those apple displays. we use them at work and they suuuuuck. super heavy, can't adjust height, can't put it in portrait mode which is .. I don't know useful 40% of the time, glares like a mofo, and cost 2x-3x similar quality displays from not Apple. Is the look of them that desirable?

No, it's more than the glare means no bloody anti-glare coating (and hence more sharpness), the colors (saturation etc) were often reviewed and measured best-in-class, and same for angles of view, brightness, etc.

Oh, and portrait mode, while nice, it's at best a niche use.
Thank you for your feedback.

It would be nice to give an alarm for reminding you at the appropriate time. We will put it into the long-term plan of our service.
It's nothing amazing but I'm in my final year of college so I'm finishing up my final year project at the moment on a CMS that focuses on passive security. It's mainly centred around two-factor social authentication, user roles and automatic form CSRF protection.

The CMS part was tough because it had to be one codebase to host multiple sites as well as the security stuff. But I think I've sorted out a good design pattern which is nice :) It mainly uses JSON to layout the CMS backend per-site and then you get to override everything else using Classes within each site's "theme" folder.

Not spectacular to look at atm but here is the Github repo: github.com/thejokersthief/GraniteCMS
One alternative is to have the college be on the hook for the first 20% of the loan. Now they would have skin in the game. Once 20% is gone, then the federal government could backstop the rest.
I'd like to see the Hypermill people take this on. Each year, Hypermill, which sells high-end CAM software for machining, takes on an insanely complex project as a demo. They've machined a crown from a solid block of titanium.[1] Their system has really good solid geometry, allowing them to use long tools in a 5-axis CNC mill to get at hard to reach places inside a complex object.

No, LGBTI+people are not killed everyday in America for being an "abomination to God". It's a lot lower than that.

Oh man, HyperCard was my childhood. I made SO MANY games in it.
>At least that is the reasoning.

No, as a pro, my reasoning is they are great for photo/video work, and even affordable compared to competitive solutions (I mean at the time, they don't make them anymore, but the 5K iMac screens are excellent).
And I was saying that there is nothing wrong with it. The less bureaucratic hassle for skilled people the better.
Patch the game to 1.08 first.
Then install the F.E.A.R. SDK.
Then find a copy of Visual Studio 2003.
Now, you can even recompile the whole game in Release, Final and Debug mode.

Edit: What a long strange trip it's been. According to my old bookmarks, wycats developed a rails admin module about 10 years ago (code not available today). I discovered that he also worked on Merb, sort of a fork of Rails, and then after helping to merge that back into Rails, he helped sferik port MerbAdmin to RailsAdmin, which exists today!

I will definitely have to try Rails 5 and see what's up, it looks like I missed a lot over the years.

> Automation is the ideal, but is costly, and itself requires maintenance.

I would contend that the cost of automation is about the same as the cost of documentation plus the cost of having to manually do the work over an over. It's just a cost borne up front instead of over time. But to your point in the article, you have to have a culture that supports bearing that up front cost.

> Most of the steps we had to perform did not lend themselves to automation, also.

I don't understand how that is possible? Could you give an example of a task that can't be automated?
Some people don't like having junk they are not using on their computers, even if they 'never see it again', it's all about being in control of your own computer, (as much as possible, that is).
Don't feel bad, this exact same situation happened to me.

I wanted to make a change in my life, and build a better future for myself. Everyone I spoke to said that going to college would be a great idea - there was no way the investment would not be worth it. My parents, my coworkers, my friends, and of course the advisors at my school - they all said it would be worth it. Not a single contradiction throughout countless conversations.

So I went to college, at my own expense. I had no money, so I pulled federal loans like so many others. $25k and 1.5 years later, I realize that college isn't teaching me anything I could not have learned for free on YouTube/Google. Angry at the scores of people who deceived me into believing college was a good investment, and angrier at the institution for acting like predators upon my naive desire to succeed, I dropped out. When I spoke with the Dean of my school about how I was not feeling challenged after paying exorbitant fees, she said these exact words: "Well, maybe college just isn't for you."

Needless to say, I now know more about my chosen career field than most average college grads, due to experience. However, years later I'm still $25k in the hole - the only significant debt I've ever incurred in my entire life.

For me, college was a literal waste of $25,000+ and nearly two years of my life. At this point in my life, I'm telling everyone who asks that college is a complete waste of time, money, and energy.
Does college provide it, or select for it? This is extraordinarily important. If it teaches good time management skills, then we can get more of that by expanding college programs. If it merely fails out people who don't have good time management skills, then there are cheaper ways to get a piece of paper proving that the holder has good time management skills.

>This is absolutely not universally true, but a higher percentage of the college graduates I've worked with are good in teams than of non-college graduates I've worked with.

And even if true, this is not an argument to expand college education. Like, I absolutely agree that there's good reasons for individual employers to prefer college graduates. There's also good reasons for individual fishing boats to prefer over-fishing.
Depends on how you define commercial development.

You may have seen my other post, but what you may NOT have seen is that I pre-empted my previous comment with:

>> This came up earlier this week, but wanted to repost it here since so many of you reached out about wanting to know more....<<

I literally had 30+ people asking me for more information, so it was clearly useful.. and no I wasn't shilling for anyone, though I am happy to introduce folks to my friend if they want my specific doctor.. I am interested in helping more people get LASEK however, as it is genuinely a major upgrade for your life.

There is no preview with any surgery, all you can really do is look at the probabilities of tens of thousands of procedures and speak with a surgeon.

And sure, you can have any subjective definition of success you want -- for example, if the surgery didn't allow you see through walls with x-ray vision, you could call it a failure.

I understand what you are saying though, your fear is that you'd get LASK, and then you'd still need to wear glasses or contacts.

You are talking about risks and things being much* higher -- I'd appreciate if you cite some sort of research or other statistics on LASEK.

All of that said, my quality of life is easily 10x what it was before, so for me, it was a risk well worth taking. If I would have been worse off after my surgery, I wouldn't have had to pay -- so aside from the small risk of having a small routine medical procedure (which also could be safely redone to try again if needed) there was no financial risk and minimal time..

That's assuming that the commuting time can't also be used for something else useful. He said the commute would have been by train, so it may have been possible pursue his own interests during the commute.

I once lived in Seattle and worked on the other side of Puget Sound. My daily round trip commute involved two ferry rides, each of which ranged from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on which of three ports on the non-Seattle side I decided to use.

I'd use that time to relax in my car, listening to music and reading. Or I'd get out of the car and go up on deck and enjoy the view. Or go in and buy a copy of the New York Times or Wall Street Journal from the vending machine and read it over breakfast from the cafeteria.

That commute was in a way a little daily mini-vacation.
Their potential market is worldwide, and getting your R&D money back in a year or so is extremely good.

I'm pretty sure the $2.5 billion/drug includes R&D "wasted" on failed drugs too. The industry gets 20-30 new drugs approved per year, and spends around $60 billion per year developing them. I mention this because one could easily see that figure and think that they'd need to make, say, $25 billion just to break even after paying for all the drugs that never made it out of development.
For Linux, how about supporting HiDPI right. I had a XPS 13 (one of the best laptops around) and it was unusable because of this:

- Most apps would look tiny; Others gigantic and pixelized (LibreOffice... looking at you) and plain unusable;

- External monitors have to be at the same DPI...

Also, the lack of proper graphic software like Keynote, Sketch, Pixelmator is the other reason I have to stick to macOS.

To answer your question, I went to one of the so-called "elite" American colleges that still has a primarily classical/analytic philosophy program (as opposed to what is known as a "Continental" program).

Nothing except their doctor recommending the more expensive name brand drug, which happens all the time. I'm sure there are many reasons why this happens including drug companies having cosy relationships with doctors and also consumer advertising causing patients to request specific drugs.

It's been interesting, trying to shoehorn popular RPG tropes and expectations into Slack's interface. It's turned into something akin to a MUD, although the multiple-user interaction isn't there. I guess it's more of a massively-single-user-dungeon?
