My advice: Talk to the board/investors.

The CEO is offering you a price. Other investors will probably be willing to offer you a better price.

I mean, why wouldn't they? They've paid good money to get the shares that they bought. Why wouldn't they want to buy other shares at a cheaper price?
So what? There are ways to do precise calculations in JS; usually you just use some library.
Right, so why does it matter when it occurs?
Perhaps dead, but #2 are the ones that I look for. I prefer to pay full price and get a full experience than expend .99 cents so that my little one is able to bake another batch of virtual cakes, then buy again in a week, then....
Still waiting for that one to rebound. The vast majority of game developers seem to be just remaking old games with new "content" in tired old genres.

Oh another game where you bleep an angry creature til they bloop and you get a point. Great. Oh, I can upgrade my bleeper? Wow.

I think it's because the industry attracts people who are, for whatever reason, avoiding meatspace activities. They get immersed in game industry memes and then that's all they know. I see a game about farming and it's like... Do you even understand what farming is like or why it's fun? But they don't... They just re-make MineCraft with farming graphics because they don't actually go out into the world and, like, farm. Do stuff. Understand what the world is like. Because the people who like the world never left it, never escaped to video games.

At this point I don't even play games any more, I just watch YouTube reviews of them and spend my time designing games on my own.

I think it's a huge missed opportunity though, and when people realize it there will be a gold rush on games that are actually about something.
Well first time I saw it was in SV, and couldn't believe that at first. But it apparently exists.
Yeah, I was humbled by the claim that a fit man can produce 400 watt hours in an hour. I was recently struggling to hit 550 watts PEAK doing row machine intervals for 10 minutes.
Money is only abstracted influence. What if you managed to get enough direct influence that you could get access to the technology without ever having to work through a money stage?

Happens every day on YouTube, in a sense. Think 'unboxing videos' or perhaps 'endorsement deals' is a better analogy. If you can get enough social influence, you can work with technology/capabilities far outside your normal 'money' conditions, because your importance is being weighted directly. You pay taxes on such gifts because the government rightly sees this as compensation, but it didn't go through a money/abstraction stage. If you were collaborating on some creative work using but not owning tools of extraordinary value, you probably wouldn't even be taxed on it, but both sides still benefit: you don't retain the tools but you produce work on them in which you have an ownership stake.
That's a pretty silly opinion. The fact is that writing interface code is actually hard, and it tends to have many moving parts that are hard to fit into any abstraction. Have you tried writing, say, iOS interface code? It's a bloated monstrosity, although autocomplete is a tiny bit better. There's a reason that so many companies ship electron and react native based apps, even though they have worse performance. It sounds like you've gotten into a field that you always held a misplaced disdain for, you've discovered that it was harder than you thought, and now you are blaming your tools.
I'm no expert, but I've tinkered with prolog in the past and with Clojure's core.logic more recently and in my opinion it's because the part of my problems that would be a good fit for prolog make up only a small part of the solutions that I write to solve them. For this reason, something like core.logic is much more interesting and useful because it means I can express the part that is well suited to logic/constraint programming in "prolog" and the parts that are not well suited, can be written in another language more suited to those tasks.

For example, I can write some code in clojure, that, for example, implements a UI which then calls core.logic to do some processing, which then calls some clojure to pull the logic data from a database. If I wanted to use prolog, I'd have to do something like: (other language -> ffi -> prolog -> ffi -> other language) which is usually too much effort for me to bother.

Nice ride, I was expecting worse until I clicked through... A few years ago I hired a van to move some stuff and the hire place was like a scrap yard for limos.

Ask HN: The best free alternative to MS Word?
My opinion: Humans are good at thinking sequentially, imperatively. Other language paradigms are harder.

That isn't to say that Functional languages (Lisp, Haskell, Scala, etc) aren't as good; frankly, I like them better. There's just a mental gap that has to be crossed and for most developers I've met, that can be challenging. Why do things in a challenging way when I've got Java right here and it works just fine? (straw man, not my own view)

Prolog (logic programming) is a bigger gap, imho. It takes more effort for me to really understand Prolog code. Can do some beautiful things with it, but it's easier to have a few good developers be good at it and put their hard work behind a library/API than it is to have every other developer try to get over that gap.
That's not green threading, it's just 1:1 native threading with a big lock, which has very different behavior than green threading (either 1:N or M:N).

They hardly make anything that was not already possible with PHP and its tooling 10 years ago.

Well, maybe there is more animations, more tracking and slower initial page loads.

It's definitely worth a look! Richard O'Keefe, one of the most highly regarded and accomplished Prolog programmers, even wrote his own Smalltalk implementation too:

In big scientific projects we are now using Google Docs.

Although not a totally Open Source workflow, it does provide the possibility of using it in any system we personally work and makes sharing and editing documents from various parties much easier.

For me, this signals a paradigm shift at least in academia where we would normally use open source in various places, but revert to Office to write collaboration documents and proposals (and even scientific papers in some areas like biology).
I sent an email to the team at MIT back in 1997 when the mammoth clone news first started hitting the rounds (maybe it's older, I don't know).

Even getting a hybrid asian/african elephant baby to survive is very difficult. How big would a mammoth baby be at birth? Could it even fit in the womb?

All that said, if someone does manage to clone mammoths, that will be very cool.
That's not the worst case. The worst case is where the other shareholders sue you for damaging the company.
>Money is expatriated via Bitcoin from the PRC to, say, Vancouver. The point is that with a currency, people would be comfortable leaving it as Canadian dollars or US dollars.

No one is OK leaving their money in hard currency. That's why we invest it, or put it in interest bearing accounts. Leaving it under your mattress leads to losses to inflation. In that sense, currency is very much like a gallon of milk or a concert ticket, though it loses its value much more slowly in a healthy economy.

With BTC, we actually have the opposite problem, deflation. It is increasing in value every day, whereas with a normal fiat currency it is more efficient to have a low, stable rate of inflation (where the individual unit of currency loses its value over time).

So I don't disagree with you completely. You're right that BTC should be more like a concert ticket than it is. The important question is why it isn't.

You pay for all of this in taxes and sometimes you pay for nothing. For example you can either wait couple of months to see a specialist or go privately. If you go privately then you essentially pay twice for healthcare. On top of that your taxes pay for all the red tape. You are being brainwashed by socialist media that it is for your good.

Tomata pasta with steamed carrots, broccoli, onions, and pan fried chicken thighs for dinner.

Every single day. No variations which allows me to monitor my diet like it's 1984.

No supplements b/c I never really thought of them as being necessary.
Typically I eat 3 meals during the day plus some snacking. My diet consists of 70% plants, 10% diary, 10% bread and 10% meat. This year I started making a vegetable-based smoothies every day to help with snacking and staying hydrated. I also add some Huel to the smoothie and so far I can say it has had a positive effect. I do not eat sweets (almost never) and I drink 2-3 coffees per day. I drink bear/wine occasionally and don't smoke.
I'm 30 years old now.

I was able to live on 4-6 hrs of sleep a night all the way up to age 25-28. That's when sleep started becoming a problem.

At age 30, I absolutely need 8 hours of sleep minimum average of sleep, but that average has to be accumulated over the course of a week! That means that a single night of sleeping less and doing strenuous tasks on a linux terminal now takes a toll on me in ways that I have never felt before in my youth.

Full disclaimer: I am a blue collar worker at a non-computer job who physically excerts myself and am very fit as a result of my job. This is part of why sleep is mandatory for me.

The older you get, the more sleep you need and the less alcohol your body can handle. This is a universal truth that people <age 25 have a hard time accepting because everybody has to be a superman of course.

No, if you go as a tourist to tourist locations you have better chances. But as a local when you take care of daily things you'll need to speak the local, and that's a given. And really as far as recruiting talent between EU countries goes, the language barrier is real between countries that do not speak officially same language.

> They essentially own all of your infrastructure at that point, and can easily disrupt your business or life if they decide that they don't like you. They can also do things like change price based on income level. Etc.

These are theoretically possible but never happens in practice because those are competitive markets in countries with established legal systems. Amazon directly competes with Netflix but if they were so inclined they'd be gifting business to Google, Microsoft, etc. and almost certainly facing significant legal repercussions.

The flip side of that is that you have contracts and SLAs. Most of the questions I'd have about something like Sia come down to the same issue: the homepage doesn't seem to make precise statements about durability, response times, etc. What guarantees does a potential user have for any of that, especially if, say, someone has infrastructure issues or decides to stop participating and removes their capacity?

Since you mentioned political instability, how do you avoid the Tor problem as soon as someone uploads legally risky material? Does that mean that the entire service is blocked because there's no more granular mechanism, or that participants need to factor possibly significant legal costs into their business?

I wonder if similar things (stimulating some parts of the brain and not others) can be done for other professions, such as coding where you are addicted to it, or maybe even the autism spectrum.
And I am sure there are exceptions to that claim, e.g. Elon Musk. Not all humans are wired the same way. People that can work 80 hour weeks effectively are rare, which is why those types of CEOs have million dollar salaries.
It seems to me that people whose first language is imperative often find thinking imperatively easier to do.
Okay, this is just insane. Modding the game via using a glitch to write custom code to it? That's impressive work.

My biggest struggle with sleep is existential anxiety. I'm not ready to "close" down the day and fast forward to the next day, so I "borrow" a lot of hours off my lifespan at a high interest rate just for the sake of making the "now" last a little bit longer.
I'm not afraid to die. I just hate the mandatory fast forwarding of time.

I grew up in Eastern New Mexico, sparsely populated but also remarkably scant in public land. Noticed a lot of those green spots fell there.

Wasn't for lacking of trying, you drive through and occasionally you'll see the remains of old buildings. Mostly schools I think. For some odd reason the schools were always built with rock while everything else was made out of wood.

Basically what happened is that people came in after the Homestead Act to try and settle, found out that despite all the grasses it's still basically a desert, and gave up after the Depression.

There's also the town of Tolar, New Mexico. That one's special. It got leveled during WWII when a train carrying bombs derailed.

Nowadays I think most of the land between Clovis and Roswell is privately owned by ranchers.

"now I wonder if it's not worsening things"

I wouldn't be surprised if it does. If I remember correctly, a boxer hits harder with a gloved hand than without. Weirdly, this is generally because with the glove on, a harder punch doesn't hurt the hand as much than a punch without it. I'd not be surprised if it is similar in football.

Agreed - I actually play little/no games on my phone/tablet because of the current state of affairs. It's nearly impossible to find a game that isn't just an abstraction of a slot machine.

Square/Enix has done well with some puzzle games - Tomb Raider, Hitman, and Deus Ex all have turn-based puzzle games that are fun and priced on level packs rather than some bottomless pit of microcurrency.

But they are the exception.

I think this is representative of a larger issue in gaming in general - development costs have grown dramatically faster than sales, to the point where the economics of game development have become marginal. Despite blockbuster marketing efforts and millions of copies sold, many games have trouble recouping their costs, not just in mobile-land, but also in traditional strongholds like console games.

I'm curious, in which ways do you find Haskell syntax peculiar? Haskell has some of the cleanest syntax I've ever seen, not the least because tabs and newlines have meaning -- like in Python (which I also love).

I seem to harbor an unhealthy amount of hatred towards Lisp because of all the parentheses. The example shown at your link makes me visibly upset, unless I'm mentally prepared for it. I love the $ in Haskell, which lets me leave out parentheses, and I never use more than single level of nested parentheses, because the resulting code looks confusing to me.
Depending on where you live, if you pay taxes you probably already have, millions of them, for atrocities on a scale that make Kristallnacht look tame.
I try to stick to 40/40/10. That is, 40% protein, 40% carbs, 10% fat. I eat about 5 small meals a day about 3.5 hours between.

Usual protein is eggs, chicken, sometimes pork/beef, and supplemented with whey. Carbs are usually multi-grain breads, brown rice, or sweet potatoes. Fats usually nuts and cheeses. I'll throw green veggies into a few of my daily meals. I avoid all refined foods and sugars.

I try to stick to that breakdown about 90% of the week. I'm not super strict as I do enjoy unhealthy food (McDonald's, Kettle chips, mmm) every so often.

I have one basic rule: Everything in moderation. Any time I eat a meal of shitty/unhealthy food, I usually ensure the rest of my day's meals have reduced carb and fat content.

Being healthy is really easy, it's developing the habit that is hard. I've been doing this for 10+ years so it's normal to me now.

Breakfast: Oatabix or porridge with milk

Lunch: Salad of, Spinach, cooked meat, pickled onions, balsamic dressing, rapeseed oil (maybe some cheese)

Dinner: Meat (usually chicken, sometimes Salmon) with spices cooked in George Foreman grill + Broccoli and / or spinach, kidney beans, buckwheat.

Snacks / Ancillary: Oranges, Bananas, dark chocolate, 'Barley cup' to drink (a caffeine free coffee substitute)

I've developed this over the years based on that following criteria.

What they sell in my local supermarket cheap

What foods keep the longest

Nutritional content.

What is fastest to cook.

What I'm not allergic too (I have a major nut allergy + mustard, eggs,few other things in a minor way)

What I like (or am ok with)

When my routine is good I will not throw any food out.

I have a few other habits I've developed. Eg, for chicken breasts I buy big cheap packs of them from the 'about to go off' section of the supermarket. Then squish them flat (about 1cm or less) and freeze them seperated by layers of clingflim. The clingfilm stops them from sticking together and making them flat means they will defrost in the microwave ina bowl of water in 10 mins, and also cook on the george foreman grill in 2 or 3 minutes.

Also when I buy spinach I immediately take it out of its plastic bag and put in in a big bowl with some paper towels.
If you keep it in the plastic bag, when the leaves sweat water builds up in the bag and when they are damp they go-off very quickly.

I take iron tablets and vitamin D tablets as my doctor told me to. Blood tests revealed I had low levels of those.
Not to you, but you don't matter. The investors and the other shareholders matter.

If the company is doing well in the eyes of the CEO, the remaining shareholders and the investors this is their chance to get a larger slice of the pie at a discount.

Founders are not by law or the shareholder agreement required to stay with the company across its lifecycle, and founders being bought out during funding rounds is common and does not immediately lead to investors bolting from the deal when presented with a good enough story behind it (such as someone wanting to move on, or being tired). It's actually quite rare to see a 5 year old company where all co-founders are still active and in their original roles. Nothing worse for a company than to have a bunch of ex-founders who no longer produce anything and that are holding on to sizable blocks of shares and that do not wish to sell. In investors parlance that's called 'dead wood' and the more you have of that the harder it will be to raise money.

Now if all of the founders want to take money of the table that is known as a buy-out and tends to be looked at differently, but even those deals are made, usually at some kind of discount. The version where other employees of the company elevate themselves to the C level is called an MBO and is also quite common.

Optionally there will a bank involved to fund part of the operating capital of the company depending on the amount and liquidity of the companies' assets.
