Ooooh that's such a fun game.
I've seen some posts about it over here recently and believe the critical users/developers mass to make it a successful dev system is achieved, however it still has to struggle to be taken into consideration in some contexts for not using a major language. If it allowed to build GUIs for C++ (QT/*TK and other builders are not even close to its usability level) it would probably become mainstream in a week.
RCT on Steam has mixed reviews, mostly related to not supporting better graphics. Interestingly, quite a few reviews on RCT on Steam point to OpenRCT2 as a better solution for your RCT fun!

Not having purchased the Steam version, I don't have an opinion on it personally.
Is there any expert to comment on this one? I’d like to know the opinion of a professional in that field.

> and corporations don't make, pass or interpret law either

The latter one is about to change, at least for certain non-vital topics. We see privatization in law enforcement for copyright, free speech / personal rights, and so on.

When Facebook marks "fake news" or handles "hate speech", and when Google/Youtube removes "copyrighted material", there is neither the police nor any judge in the loop. Also, there are often false positives such as removing creative commons videos with no clear path to dispute.

There will soon be laws that require companies to interpret the law, which is a very worrying trend.
Hmm I'd hope they do a caching step in between ;)
The ones you contractually enter into are certainly more obvious in hindsight (and easier to avoid by just not having a credit line for example), but I'd still throw them in the same mix because people do not think of those when they plan to form an LLC. My general point is that personal liability in small companies tends to creep in through the cracks one way or another.
This gives you the best of both worlds, because when you buy your physical media, it'll have a code in there for digital redemption too.

You don't have to rip the disk in order to use it in different devices, especially devices that can't physically take the physical media.

Good luck passing an actual bluray on your tablet using physical media etc. Possible to do, technically, but a total faff.

But this way, load the code into the locker and it "just works". And you still have your physical disk. Win win.

Yes, Qualcomm doesn't care where you buy your baseband, you still have to paid them LTE patents tax. And once anyone doing calculation that making baseband themselves is not worth the hassle when the resulting chips is inferior to Qualcomm offering.

So Apple wanted to make, my guess a LTE only 4G Baseband, no 2G, 3G attached, hence Apple wanted a better deal.

This is not a new idea. If you have a variable-order, variable-precision implementation, it's the most obvious way to estimate the error of a numerical solution.
Actually the most important figure is not just the peak current amp limit, but the actual continuous discharge amperage limit. While batteries are capable of higher peak discharge rates in very short bursts, you really do not want to push this and instead should stay below the continuous discharge amperage limit.

The higher this limit generally the "safer" the battery performs in high drain operations like actually vaping the ecig, and this means that not only can you go to higher power levels, but that lower ones will also generally not heat the battery as much, and reduce the risk of thermal runaway or venting.

Take a variable power mod using power regulation set at 50w (a relatively common power setting for enthusiast/higher end vapers but that can be a daily driver), with an atomizer at 0.18ohms resistance and a Sony VTC5 18650 as the battery with 2600mAh capacity and a sustained safe current amperage limit of 30A.

To get 50w you will need to apply 3.00V / 0.18ohms or 16.67 amps. If you for instance choose a poor battery re-wrap, like this Cylaid 3500mAh advertised at 10amp continuous discharge, which is actually just a "re-wrapped" battery which can only sustain 8 amps, you would be in dangerous territory where the battery would likely get much hotter than a quality one and have higher potential for thermal runaway/venting.

https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/threads/cylaid-10a-3...

The most interesting thing you'll notice is an inverse relationship with capacity in mAh and continuous discharge in amperage. You can either have a higher capacity battery with lower continuous discharge current, or a lower capacity battery with higher continuous discharge current, not both.
The whole point (or rather, one of the points) of Java and .net are that they are NOT compiled to native code but to bytecode so that you can write code once and then run it on many different systems without having to compile it again.

Apple only used OLED from LG in their first Apple Watch, all subsequent Apple Watch's OLED are from Samsung.

LG, has yet to prove themselves regarding Mobile OLED display panel. ( Look at the problems with V30, and soon the Pixel 2 ) I seriously doubt Apple are putting $2.7B on the Mobile OLED, ( or what LG called POLED, which is the same as Samsung's AMOLED ), they could have spend the same money on JDI.

Also if you have the same executable running several times on a machine, they share the RAM for the code (read-only pages, which should be most of them).

That doesn't work for UPX because each execution decompresses anew, which makes it a "new executable" from the OS' point of view.
The only thing that would help is kernel space merging, but that's really only activated for some virtual machines.
Most employers are probably not like you in this regard. As a prospective employee, it’s more reasonable to adapt one’s behavior to the typical employer, not to you; they don’t know you yet. White lies are commonly accepted in today’s society. I am certain you don’t agree with this, and even the prospective employee might not agree, and might otherwise approve of your policy. But if they want any chance of being employed by anyone other than you, they can’t behave the way you want them to when being interviewed.

For this to be anywhere close to fair, you should have told interviewees about this policy of yours before the interview, so they have a chance to adapt. Otherwise, it just becomes a random “gotcha” years later.

He gave a pretty interesting interview early 2016, apparently he was focused on the rerelease of RCT on mobile and enjoying life : http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-03-03-a-big-interview....

Seems like a humble person with a good life ethos. I like his philosophy with the RCT license of letting others have a go at it since he already made what he wanted.

I wish he would come back to make another game. RCT is so consistently fun so well put together it always impresses me so many years later. That guy is a hero of game design.

Ask HN: How do you get your motivation?
Hey folks, short story made long.

I always was a passionate developer back in the days, I've started to work on top companies as a consultant and I gain a quite good experience and professionalism. I started to be bored about how the things gone, how much the pressure of a result was higher than the value of your work. The 'should be done asap' culture break me. I couldn't think how to do my job, it was only about to think how to do it fast, regardingless quality (yes, in many projects and for many customers).

I got sick about it and I quit my latest job in order to bust my motivation and fantasy again. I get a pause for a few months and I started to work again in another place. But it's almost the same, though is better for other aspect, seems I can't find the glory of the sunny days again.

So how you deal with it? How do you get the motivation to do something great?
What does it mean to "be aware" of this? What should one do differently from one would otherwise do?

> We knew we can't hire him, he would be bored here and soon ask for more money, which the company didn't have.

I recommend giving anyone who appears minimally qualified the benefit of the doubt & see what they have to say before denying them a shot at meaningful employment.

I used to run a recruiting company, and I couldn't afford to pay very much. For example, I hired my first assistant as $15/hour USD when I was paying myself $12/hour USD. This was in San Francisco, CA where a that kind of money doesn't go very far.

Almost everyone I hired was overqualified, but that never seemed to matter. Before I hired anyone, I said something like...

"Look, I can only afford to pay you $X, and you'll duties will be A, B, & C. You look like someone who could get a job that's half as hard & pays twice as much. Why do you really want THIS job?"

If they gave what sounded like a sincere answer, I'd hire them. It was as simple as that.

One of my applicants had an MBA from a fancy school and had worked in sales at a prestigious investment bank. When asked why the heck someone with that kind of background would want to do entry level office work that doesn't pay very well, the applicant plainly said, "My partner is starting a hedge fund, I help my partner with in bootstrapping the fund, I'm looking for a little extra money at a job with flexible hours, and I enjoy this kind of work." That "overqualified" applicant was hired, and turned out to be one of my best workers.

When you pre-judge an applicant based on the appearance of too much experience & too many certifications, you are denying that applicant & yourself the opportunity to explore what could be an amazing employment relationship for both sides.
It does and at least the current dotPeek 2017.2.2 decompiles it to else if and does, other than I thought, not allow to customize it.

Let's not forget forced arbitration. Companies that wrong you can now deny you your day in court if they just add a forced arbitration clause into the fine-print. They are removing conflicts from the justice system into a private system where the incentives are much more murky.

Well, I find hard to believe (remember that this is limited to Instagram and to "market influencers", none of the ones mentioned are rock stars, presidents of the US, etc. that I believe have a more transversal audience) that the total amount of followers is so large.

The intended audience seems to me pretty much "narrow" at least from the few examples given on the article under "Illustrative examples of Swiss Instagram influencers".

These are seemingly all fashion related, targeted to an audience (my personal estimate) of women in the 16-40 years old range, maybe even a more restricted age range.

And Switzerland is not - I believe - considered an international (worldwide) reference for fashion.

Of course my reasoning is based not on any data, so it may be well off, but I would have expected an even higher number of "fake" followers, not a smaller one than what the researchers found.

For all its flaws (and I haven’t seen many: I really like that report) that is a dramatic change in how we understand road safety: private actors now feel the responsibility to publish their understanding of all-encompassing safety.

Compared to historical car manufacturers who consider that they responsibility stops at the paint layer, this is a welcome change. I’m always concerned browsing through reports that reads, paraphrased “Our cars are f-cking tanks, we will mow through any obstacle and you’ll barely even notice.”

I’m always hesitant to give more reporting power to private actors (they tend to get their PR team spin it hard) but in that case, that report informs effective internal decision: Do we put more aggressive thresholds to break when a cyclist appears nearby to our radars? Do we use a more accusing beeping sound when driving too close to the curb, tailgating?

Distributed actors have proven they have very little concern for human lives. Centralised systems, when they are ubiquitous, will have to take that terrifying number of 1.2 million as their own key performance indicator and act differently.
They are there for emergency responders. When the lift is switched to "fire service" with the fireman key the door close button actually will work as a close the doors right this instant button. Furthermore the doors will no longer open on their own. You'd have to hold down the door open button to get the doors to open. Pressing it briefly activates "peeking" mode where releasing the button will close the door back up.

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMBnJal9lhA [warning loud music] for how a fireman would use the fire service in an elevator during a fire.
One does not preclude the other, it is only a matter of distribution, like the mainframes taught us eons ago, by combining JIT/AOT on their toolchains.

The fact that Oracle, Microsoft, Google and Apple are now on the JIT/AOT train, tells it all.

To be fair, .NET always had AOT native compilation support from the early days, but NGEN is a simple AOT compiler only meant for faster startup.

Same question i have asked everybody. ( In non tech circle )

Let say these tech for sure it wont be 5 times, but more like 10 times the cost. So for $30 battery, which offer double the energy capacity of the $3.3 unit at the same volume, an extra $26.7 BOM cost, which translate to roughly $70-$80 extra in Retail price. ( You have to add all the patents cost % etc, and then Apple's margin, this calculation is similar range to BOM cost and Final RSP )

Are you willing to paid extra $80 if the iPhone offer double the battery?

What was I expecting? I was expecting some crazy yes! For only $80, you dont have to buy an $30 battery pack anymore with cable lying around. And it will surely last you the whole day.

But the results were a surprise, lots of No. These people think the battery are fine, it could do a little longer battery, but it is not worth $80.

My guess is that lots of geeks and tech enthusiast wanted bigger battery, but the majority are simply doing good with what is on offer.

Are you getting interviews? If not, consider revisting the resume aspect.. Keep it at a max of 2 pages and when listing your skills, focus on the most recent work and technology (not the breadth of tech you've worked with over your career but the depth of tech that you are looking to get a position doing).

I love me some good abstractions. But abstractions don't automatically make code more readable or efficient. They're overhead that shows their worth through volume and use. I follow the rule that you never abstract based on one instance, or even two. Show me three places you know this will be used, then if we know how it's going to be used we can figure out the best way to generalize that functionality.
This report is not enough to convince me their cars are safe, but it's a good start. Haven't seen anything like this from their competitors.

At it's best, the article suggests google is being methodical and responsible with its rollout. At it's worst, it's a PR blitz to give the appearance of safety, but even that is a good start as it acknowledges that people care about autonomous vehicle safety.

Why Are More American Teenagers Than Ever Suffering from Severe Anxiety?
Answer from a different side of the fence:

As an executive who elected senior engineers into engineering managers three time in different companies, there are three challenging areas for even the most fit for the job engineers:

- understanding that soft skills and understanding company politics now matter not as much, but more than detailed technical skills. focusing on eliminating weaknesses in this area is that pareto-ean 20% of effort that makes the rest 10x easier.
- it's now about eliminating weaknesses, not growing strengths: what you tolerate slows down and makes everything toxic, while what you preach is a second-order problem for a while. it evens out, and later on you can focus on growing strengths, but only after a while.
- you own consistency of engineering culture, not your piece of code and responsibility, now. which makes figuring out internal feeling of "I'm doing it right" twice as hard.
