Not very surprised, the game has been a trainwreck in the making from the beginning. Total scope was just way too overambitious, and people weren't going to plow hundreds and thousands of dollars into spaceship jpegs forever.
I don't know about Norwegian law, but in the US the fingerprint compelling doesn't have anything to other do with "we are physically capable of forcing you to do this". Rather, there's existing precedent that allows them to requisition your fingerprint, because historically it was only used for identification. The PIN has no such precedent. (Maybe it even falls underneath 5th amendment?)

Again sorry, dunno what the parallel is in Norway/EU

I couldn't read the article because there were giant Facebook, Twitter, etc logos overlayed on all the text in pure black.
I had the same question, repo has no commits since April 4 and only one release dating back to December last year, and, as another comment pointed out, it uses MDL which has been discontinued in favor of Material Components.
Can't speak for the parent. But it's pretty typical in my job to be surrounded by "leftist" ideology. I say this as a big ol' lefty myself.

This question is bait though, to say something like "I don't like that I'm told to hire women over men" has many interpretations.

One is that I'm a sexist pig trying to throw women out because they're women.

Another is that I'm trying to get the best candidate based on skill not gender.

And yet another is that I am propping up the status quo by not altering my behaviour to be more inclusive.

It all depends on how _you_ feel about me saying that. And that's not a good tone for further discussion.
my (somewhat) unpopular take on this is that guitar heroes are made when new genres break into the mainstream. or at least it has been that way for the last 60 years or so.

Delta blues, British invasion, white blues, hair metal, punk, grunge - new sounds were making waves and getting popular on the radio so kids latched on to them (partially because their parents hated it). but we haven't had a new guitar-based genre break the pop charts in the last 15-20 years so kids are only hearing new takes on old styles, like Mayer. brilliant musician but not nearly as exciting as the stuff their parents hate - EDM.
Why Is Decentralization Important?
According to the mail, the systems "cannot be fixed" because they lack HyperThreading in the first place so there is no fix to apply.
>the Bush/early Obama years

That was 4chan's "Ron Paul for President" and "Jews did 9/11" phase.

4chan was never liberal.
So will this be affecting most Macbook Pros of the past few years?

If so, there's a way to disable hyper-threading, but you need Xcode (Instruments).

Open Instruments. Go to Preferences. Choose 'CPU'. Uncheck "Hardware Multi-Threading". Rebooting will reset it.
If this is a subject that interests you, I'd recommend reading Angela Nagle's Kill All Normies: Online culture wars from 4chan and Tumblr to Trump and the alt-right[1]. It's a really level-headed look at online identity politics. It's an extension of her The Baffler article "The New Man of 4chan"[2], from last year which went into /r9k/, but in her book she analyzes both "sides" (4chan and tumblr, if you will) which I thought was really interesting analysis, even considering I watched it all unfold as it was happening.

The deal is that he's one of those guys who makes you go, "Oh, that's why publishers exist."
Seems like incredibly poor budgeting given that they had $150M and couldn't deliver even a limited version of the game.

Maybe I'm underestimating the costs somehow, but you could easily pay pretty high salaries for 100+ people's time over a few years of development with that kind of money. I wonder what they did with it?
Can you please do some benchmarks against MySQL and PostgreSQL? The vast majority of your prospective customers will be using these two instead of RocksDB or MongoDB.
I wonder why he didn't use a fictional country? That would insure that he wouldn't meet anyone from there. He could even pick one that has been used before, and put a couple references to that prior use, to give fans a bit of trivia to notice.

For example, use Franistan, and have a reference to the Maharincess of Franistan's 1952 visit to New York.
Exactly! And Quartz Composer leads to OpenGL shader trees.

You may wish to address people who consider themselves "Designers" rather than "Programmers".

Seems as if platforms for computer graphic systems production- like Unity or Unreal - would provide a receptive audience.

I wonder how they would react.
I live and work in downtown Seattle. I'd say "regularly". I don't even know who other conservatives are because we tend to keep that information, as I said, in the closet. I had one friend at work tell me in secret that he was also a conservative. All I'm saying is that conservatism is "unpopular" and sometimes "shameful" (at least from my experience), which is unhealthy.
>You are conflating message with actual sentiment

Yeah, thats a fair point.

>cartoon child porn

I think you're misunderstanding what i'm saying here. Gamergate was a massive controversy that played out over the course of many months, was covered on national news networks and ruined many careers. It was a galvanizing event that brought people together in defense of their hobby. Cartoon child porn is a symbol of the belief system that you've described, but I don't think its possible to say that defending it galvanized the 4chan user base like gamergate.
Iteration mark is more similar to RLE than to LZ. LZ can copy from arbitrary points in the past.

This is the best analogy about web development in a while and totally spot on, as long as you know your way around your own basic tooling it is pretty easy.

But then what do you do if only Ryanair flies remotely close to where you need to be? Every time I go home I could either fly ryanair and be home in about 3 hours, or fly with someone else + take the train, total journey time = 9-10 hours. Free market competition is great if there actually is any competition.
Interesting. Looks like a little like a hybrid between Vue.js and JSX.

I can't fathom what kind of person sees stuff like this and thinks to himself: "Yeah cool man! Exactly the type of community I want to be a part of!"

I don't think the example you give is very poignant: the fact that the Democratic party (or rather its base) is not fully in line with its very progressive members, doesn't mean that there isn't a hard cultural push by said progressive members.

I do agree with you that this culture war didn't suddenly appear and divide society as a whole ex nihilo, but that's because nothing ever does. Movements start small and expand That's true of the particular brand of progressivism at hand here as well as the GNU movement or even the adoption of Linux and open source more broadly (those could sort of be said to have originated in a "culture war on the internet").

And I think it would be hard to dispute that the West has seen a very hard cultural push by progressives in recent years. Compare [1] to [2] for example. These are not equivalent examples and they are not meant to be. My point is that the sort of push seen in [1] clearly has implications outside of the abstract internet (Twitter is part of the Internet, but the point is that it has impacts on real life in a way 4chan doesn't). Also, Islamic stuff is perhaps the most obviously conservative stuff, but it's by no means the only one. Asian cultures in general are much more conservative than the West too.

I'm also old enough to remember /r/chimpire and other explicitly racist right wing subreddits who had massive support, well before the rise /r/the_donald. Hell, I even remember discussing the organized stormfront propaganda raids. To me, crying about the lack of conservatism is just code for "people don't follow my ideologies exactly, therefore I'm being oppressed." I follow plenty of subreddits where there is plenty of conservative thought.
It sounds like they can all be fixed by disabling hyperthreading.
Rule of thumb: On a desktop, if you have an i5 you do not have Hyperthreading. All i3s and i7s do have Hyperthreading, as do new Kaby Lake Pentiums (G4560, 4600, 4620).

On laptops, some i5s are not real quad cores but dual cores with Hyperthreading.
For me it's not so much the day to day interactions, which are largely apolitical[1], but the culture we consume. For example the latest E3 showcases had quite an emphasis on "diversity". On most days there will be some story about wage gap, harassment or other sexual missteps on the HN front page and various online newspapers. Now that's the daily surface stuff.
This is not bad in itself most of the time. I do not deny that some of those social issues are real. But occasionally they go into the other extreme where they start to seem threatening or grossly stereotyping.

And then there is that background noise with shitstorms trying to get people fired over things they said (remember the nasa T-shirt guy? or brendan eich?), products boycotted over guilt by association and so on.
But they make you ask yourself "could this happen to me?". Say the wrong thing and get fired because someone is OFFENDED about a joke or affiliating with the wrong people?

I have also seen github projects that I use suffer just because someone didn't like some language. This concerns me because when people push their preferences on the entire platform instead of subcommunities it becomes a cultural monoculture instead of a more compartmentalized system.

It's safe to assume that Windows distributes the microcode fixes as well.
Something that's popular is practically by definition not on the extreme any more.

In most of the developed world the Democrats would be considered a moderate right-wing party, and the Republicans a far-right theocratic extremism party (like, say the DUP in the UK, or CHP in Canada).

What you're seeing is a ground-shift in values, and what used to be considered OK is now considered extreme, and is therefore being shifted into the margins of the discussion.

To put it in sharper contrast: if you started loudly expressing the most mainstream views of the 1700s in today's society, you'd get a lot of people trying to shut you up and, failing that, marginalize you. And, probably, they'd be right to do so.

I don't think Ryzen has had any more or less bugs than the recent Intel generation. They are at least on the same order of magnitude.

Ryzen is great, I might buy one next, but it is not to "doge bullets".
Irrespective of whichever Framework is chose, Google (Chrome Dev) emphasis more on making it highly compatible for Mobile Devices, not just on 4G but also on the slow networks of Emerging markets. That's been their recent pitch with PWA!
CPU manufacturers do do huge amounts of testing, and Intel does formal verification of some functional units. The reliability is far better than most software, in part because making a new release costs billions.
Sounds like they can be fixed by the patch isn't out yet?

I think part of the reason is the changing demographics of the geekier parts of the Internet. As hitherto absent groups of people entered geekdom, it produced a defensive reaction.

The way I see it, it is easier to express liberal sentiments than to actually walk the talk. Kind of like how it's easier to profess feminism when it doesn't require any effort from your side than when you are married and have kids and are expected to equally share household responsibilities.
I'm over 2m, and flew Norwegian last week. I just about fit into the seat, but it was very uncomfortable. I wouldn't want to fly for more than 2 hours at that kind of comfort level.

It is very frustrating just how much airlines fail to cater for tall passengers. They all have different rules for emergency exit seats, and the cost of upgrading can be quite high.
Good point. I guess I don't interact with them anymore, but I'm a conservative who graduated in the arts just a year ago, so its recent history to me. In all of my literature classes, the content was mostly left leaning.
Well, at least Intel acknowledges, documents and finally fixes these CPU bugs (via microcode updates).

AMD on the other hand doesn't even acknowledge an issue

By my reading, it's fixed in Micro-code, so if you Windows Update, you already have it fixed.
> Can you say with an straight face that most universities, for example, aren't more extreme left than in the past?

You shouldn't make a claim and then ask someone else to disprove it. What numbers are you basing this belief off of? How do you define extreme left? Do you consider beliefs like evolution and global warming to be extreme left view points?

According to [0] it seems that the number of professors who consider themselves liberal has increased by about 10% in the last 60 years. But the definition of liberal has become much more inclusive over the last 60 years as well, so I am not sure how meaningful this is.

This may be true in general but isn't true of alt-right communities who coined the "cuckservative" meme. They were no fans of the GOP.
I was fortunate to see the author speak at a conference not too long ago, I really enjoyed it. Like her, I have had several bad experiences at tech companies and would just like to not ever work in one again. So I am very envious of her story and it's really cool to see how it has worked out for her and partner. (Unlike her, I don't really have contacts and I don't think I would be very good at the sales side of being a contractor.) Anyway, very inspiring stuff!
I'm guessing this will involve unaffordable office space.
Trump's rise wasn't legitimate because it was essentially a con job. Folks in rural parts of the country have been hurt by 30 years of anti-worker policies and, to an extent, globalization. In part they got neglected by regular politicians, but in part simply because jobs moved as the world changed they got left behind.

Trump ran a campaign blaming immigrants and Muslims while promising to bring back coal and renegotiating all trade agreements, a.k.a. "winning". The entire campaign was a big lie. Trump lies on a scale that is not comparable to what regular politicians do -- his salesmanship skills allow him to tune in to whatever people want to hear. When the connection between campaign promises and policy gets totally severed democracy dies.

White rural America has every right to be angry, but that doesn't excuse embracing a racist con artist like Trump.
If it's all your code? Nothing. You own the copyright, therefor you can re-release the code under any license you want.

The only problem is that existing releases will remain under their original terms of release. For example, if you create a release with MIT, that release will remain available under the MIT licensing terms until your copyright of that code expires.

IANAL and all that, of course.
So I've just been hellbanned for satirizing the censoring of free speech. The ultimate irony.

> Of course I'm aware of the protests that make the main stream media, but it seems silly to just assume that those small numbers of protests are broadly representative.

You have to assume that a protest is representative of something larger.

It's not like there's the normal population and then there's a few hundred people crazy enough to protest for reason X. Much more likely, they have a network of support, people who aren't as convinced as them, but who do agree with them to a large degree and those people have their own network with whom they sort of agree and so on and so forth.

The same applies for any group, no matter how extreme really.

EDIT: Also, I live in Montréal, Canada. I can assure you our universities are infested with "leftist thought", even the engineering ones (and having visited the humanities ones, the infestation can be shockingly intense). There is one wall in UQAM (like, in the school, facing some gathering space) where someone wrote "let's throw the blood from our diva cups in their faces". There absolutely is something going on.
How did you make the conclusion that JS is faster than C++? An experienced C++ developer, or better yet, an experience C++ developer team, moves “freaking” fast. The only advantage to the HTML/JS stack is you can get cheap labor from dime a dozen web “devs”. That’s it.

Case in point, look at Atom. Let’s assume your “MVP”, “profit $$$” and what not is somewhat correct. Yet, the amount of engineering time and effort it has taken to optimize that tech to fix things that are trivial in the native world is staggering. How does that fit in your “profit $$$” equation, as an initial core team of experienced C++ developers would have developed with these issues in mind and created a product that is viable in the same scenarios.
You have it backwards. Most of SpaceX's commercial comsat launches are big enough that Ariane would charge 90 million euros to launch.
It's an obvious consequence of the action. They're not getting others' secrets. Their enemies are still getting theirs. So, their enemies will know their plans but not vice versa. Definitely not a smart way to wage war.

A Story About a 24/7 Back End Platform
Drug advertising -> Drug Sales -> Drug Profits -> Profit for Drug Company -> More R&D For Next Drug

If all drug advertising went to 0, it would not significantly impact drug prices in the US. It might in fact increase prices as there would be less users per drug. (Which of course may be a better result for society, but I digress)
Precisely, and this has been painfully obvious for a long time. Not even to me (I don't really follow the game) but to a few people whose opinion I respect, including multiple video game journalists.

The issue was being investigated by the OCaml community since
2017-01-06, with reports of malfunctions going at least as far back as
Q2 2016. It was narrowed down to Skylake with hyper-threading, which is
a strong indicative of a processor defect. Intel was contacted about
it, but did not provide further feedback as far as we know.

Fast-forward a few months, and Mark Shinwell noticed the mention of a
possible fix for a microcode defect with unknown hit-ratio in the
intel-microcode package changelog. He matched it to the issues the
OCaml community were observing, verified that the microcode fix indeed
solved the OCaml issue, and contacted the Debian maintainer about it.

Apparently, Intel had indeed found the issue, *documented it* (see
below) and *fixed it*. There was no direct feedback to the OCaml
people, so they only found about it later.

Inexcusable.
