It should work on almost every binary.

The exception are NSIS installers, self-extracting archives (exe rar files), files with IDL interfaces.

When NSIS starts they will try to open it's own exe file and find the section in which it's packed data is stored. But UPX will remove those sections and create .UPX section with compressed data.

If you did POC's did it turn into Prod? If not why not?
Do people use it in prod is what I think is meant.
It was a typo, should have been "shores". However, it was a brilliant typo - the powers that be have decided on Greenhill and ClearCase. And the people who decide these things seem to be closer to the share holders than they are to us coders, so Ada missionaries on shares is maybe what it takes.

There are 2 distinct use-cases: OLAP (data warehouse) vs OLTP (operational database).

If you want a data warehouse to run SQL analytics over lots of data, stick with RedShift, BigQuery, Snowflake, MemSQL, MapD that use column-stores, vectorized operations, compiled queries and other features for fast performance. Also more options like Apache Drill, Dremio, SnappyData, MapR DB,... if you want SQL but over unstructured/random files stored somewhere.

For an operational database to hold your core active data and to do small/mid-data analysis, CRDB is an option along with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, and others. Advantage is cloud-native and distributed architecture so you can get high-availability, multi-master, and easy scaling out of the box, even across multiple data-centers.

All the other traditional RDBMS either don't support this or require 3rd-party software to come close, although some will never match the same level of distributed functionality. In exchange, CRDB doesn't support the same performance, data types, and rich feature set of a single node PostgreSQL, for example. If you can tolerate downtime, need complex SQL statements, or already have solid tooling with the existing systems, then stick with them.

If you're running a globally distributed app, or a new app that can work with simpler SQL statements, or need availability and scaling with less work, then CRDB is a good fit. If you're looking for something in the middle, then CitusDB (postgres extension) allows for automatic sharding across multiple instances. Keep most of the PostgreSQL functionality with single-region horizontal scaling, but more work and complexity without the distributed features of CRDB.
I'm not sure what would be earned for developing such a game verses developing one on a modern system that looks like it could have been from that era. It would likely cost less to develop and would be easier for the average consumer to use. I've played a number of 16-bit games since that time, and some manage to pull of a similar feeling.
This isn't a great solution, because kids are pretty good at getting out and into whatever app they want, but there is a YouTube Kids app. It's more like streaming TV than YouTube.
So if the problem was first proposed by Newton in the 17th century, how did early investigators simulate the interactions between the bodies up until the electronic computer became available. There are no closed form solutions A.F.A.I.K. so they must have calculated the body's state by hand, I guess. How tedious.
First: thanks!

Re docker:

It's one of the options we are looking at to make it easier to get up and running.

Any particular reason that docker appeals to you?

We're not sure at this point in time what the best means is.

If there was a docker based QuickStart, what would you expect to be able to do with it?

Run the first example app? Something more?
Those are low numbers for everyone involved.

I think this is a longterm space that Facebook is definitely not interested in missing out on, so they'll keep it going.

How much does it cost really, in the scheme of things? If anything, I don't know why Facebook simply doesn't ante up and steal some of the talent away from the competitors, they have the cash to do it and I'm sure people would be happy to work under Carmack.

Articles like this always make me wonder about the effect of technology, particularly easy access to the Internet at all times, on my generation (born in the late 80s and early 90s).

That discussion -- about attention spans, finding exactly what you're looking for versus having to interpret a static document, etc. -- has been had a million times on this site and elsewhere. But it struck me that he didn't ask for digests or something like that. For Napoleon, evidently there was more to these books than their information content alone.
Some sites do not require full blown identification for gambling when you use bitcoin. Coupled with the fact that it is a super convenient way to move large sums of money in and out (without waiting for wire transfer delays and whatnot), it’s a bit of a no brainer, at least in terms of convenience.
The "CNS" is as far as I can tell just the use of a high order Taylor series together with multiple precision arithmetic for solving ODEs. This is a well known method for long term simulation of dynamical systems that has been around for decades. The authors basically imply that they invented this method and were the first to be able to study long term evolution of dynamical systems reliably because of it. Fair enough if they just weren't aware of previous work (which happens all the time), but it's an oversight that shouldn't have passed peer review.

That said, using this method to discover new periodic solutions of the three-body system is a very neat application, which deserves applause!

Especially considering that none of the algorithms they use provide any protection from a compromised node, so it's kind of pointless to even have separate certificates for each node.
I have generally enjoyed the experience. I own a lot of their books. They were one publisher that generally aligned with our open source values. The book is much better because of them.

The new class of programmers that governments and Google want to train up from your average worker will not be as skilled or intelligent as the current generation of programmers. But, there are still opportunities for them in software development. They will take jobs that pay 40-60k a year, while the higher skilled and more intelligent programmers will be architects or leads who command much higher salaries.

You think there's a conspiracy to maliciously alter Wikipedia and to obscure those public edits under a mountain of seemingly innocent changes? But also that the conspirators are so naive they make the changes from their work computers without a VPN?

With Transit (mac app) and some other ftp programs you can use dropbox just like normal network drive so you can upload stiff there and delete it from your computer.

I was considering running two horizontally-scaling non-vendor databases: one for handling high volumes of read/write operations that can handle eventual consistency and one for handling lower volumes of strong consistency/transactions.

Would CockroachDB be a good contender for the strong consistency case (and who would be good competitors and why)? Also, I've so far considered Cassandra and HBase for the eventual-consistency option; any recommendations there?
right, that's the standard workaround, but it really seems like something the compiler should be doing for you. i find it a very surprising wart in an in general very well-designed module system.
You can actually set NSIS to UPX-pack its stub, if you're so inclined, but the stub is pretty small already.

It may be legal to sell the sheet of paper or the code on it, but the service is under no obligation to honor the offer if you aren't in compliance with their terms of use. Should they believe you are buying and selling Ultraviolet codes, they could remove your entire collection and ban you from their service. This is no different from MD2D: In no way is it "illegal" to scan a barcode into a phone app and get a movie, if the app is providing that service and you aren't hacking the app in some way. But it's against the terms of service, and if they know, they could choose to cut you off. In that way, both strategies are on pretty equal grounds.

As for "why not just pirate", I would guess one time purchases that cheap may actually save you money on storage, backup, everything's in the cloud, etc. And of course, most pirates have excuses/justifications for their behavior: I've regularly heard "at least they get something, people would pirate it otherwise" used in reference to it.
For those downvoting, the above comment is a reference to a terrific sci-fi novel, "The Three-Body Problem," which focuses on the same problem discussed in the article.
While I support YAGNI, I only support it when there is a copy somewhere in the source control history. I don't understand why they would permanently delete it even if they weren't planning on ever using it again? Was space that limited? Or was this a middle management kind of thing?
Maybe 5-8 years ago 8GB was enough. In 2017? Yeah right.
Pixel art has a ton of advantages:

* It's cheap. It takes as much talent to make great pixel art as anything, but it takes less time to do than most styles. Some cartoon vector styles or voxel styles could compete here.

* Passable pixel art is relatively easy. A team with mediocre art skills can still do something okay this way. And even a team with a great artist can get away with letting the programmer draw some objects.

* It's a well-defined aesthetic. A lot of the work of art is defining an art direction for the project. Some pixel art games have great art direction, but most get away with looking roughly like Final Fantasy 4. Only photorealism does better at being pre-defined.

* It's already accepted. If you go for a non-traditional low-fi aesthetic, even if it is artistically stunning, some people will see a low resolution or low polycount and say the graphics are bad.

* The toolchains exist. You can build cool artistic styles around a novel way of rendering things like making everything out of particles or using triangular pixels. But Photoshop won't draw on a triangular grid.

* The artists are already there. You can hire someone who knows pixel art. It's harder to find someone who can draw Cuphead or do good work in a janky one-off tool chain.

* It plays well with the medium. Pixels and polygons are the native elements of the way games are rendered. Any minimalist style other than low-res or low-poly is just a simulacra of minimalism: you could draw stick figures, but that requires the same graphical freedom as a high-res game.
I've been contributing to the compiler for years and have never really touched any of the LLVM stuff. Compilers are large, there's a lot of stuff to do, and plenty of it is not-complicated stuff that doesn't take effort to learn. Many (most?) of our contributors start off with zero compiler experience.

What's the difference between "problem solving" and "IQ" ? They seem like almost the same thing.
This stuff is funny to read. There are two cases:

1. H1Bs in "tech" do not affect salaries of those not on H1B so it is irrelevant that there are those who come to the US on H1B and make $35-50k/year in tech because it does not affect the market for $80k-250k/year jobs i.e. Old Navy, Gap and Banana Republic are totally different markets, Old Navy's $10 t-shirts and $25 jeans does not move upmarket and cannibalize GAP's $30 T-shirt and $80 jeans which in turn does not cannibalize BR's $120 T-shirts and $200 jeans - ask whoever shops for clothes in your family.

If that's the case, we should applaud Google generating more $35-50k/year tech workers and we all should be baffled by those complaining about H1B tech imports (the number of them is rather low compared to the number of 35k-50k workers training programs would generate so if we need those workers before we train ours we should lift the caps on H1Bs)

2. H1Bs in "tech" does affect salaries of those not on H1B because it eats into the market market for $80k-250k/year jobs. In which case having a flood of $35k-50k/year workers is a problem regardless if they are coming in on H1B or from ITT Tech/GoogleJobsTrainingSchool.

I would suggest we should really pick one and be consistent.

Remember, these companies are paying Equifax for your credit report.

The point isnt to prevent any credit reporting.. but to prevent equifax specifically from earning money.

And no one is "denying themselves the ability to get credit" by refusing to unfreeze an equifax report. If the lender doesn't want to use one of the other credit agencies, then most people can find another lender. Those businesses need to know they'll lose business as long as theyre loyal to equifax.

It is unfortunate we don't have more leverage... this does leave a lot of avenues open for Equifax to continue making money. But every bit helps.
If that's the case, it seems like the executives at Equifax who were dumping stock after they learned of the breach (but before it was reported) were jumping the gun. They should have just held on to it!

"Three senior executives including the company’s chief financial officer sold $1.8 million in shares three days after the company learned on July 29 hackers had breached personal data for up to 143 million Americans."

Western powers have a lot of responsibility for those internal problems.

Next month will mark fifty years since the end of the British occupation of Aden. That led to Yemen becoming a Cold War battleground.

Then the Gulf war, where their opposite to the US running Arabian politics led to a drastic cut in aid and the deportation of 800,000 Yemenis. The opposition seems justified when you consider the 10% drop in GDP and l food shortages the unrest caused. Tack on another civil war where the US and Saudis sent military forces to Yemen, and the War on Terror killing more Yemeni civilians.

Hezbollah's slogan mentions "Death to the US" for a reason, the Western involvement in the area has not gone well for them.
Not yet but it's looking like the first couple will happen in Q1 or Q2 next year.

Why not really depends per location. None have been because we didn't pass the POC. Most so far have been that it works well and now it's a matter of slotting into the roadmap at those companies.

They just want cheap labor! There is nothing altruistic about Google and their commitment to their fellow man. They merely want children (teach a kid scratch so they can be enslaved for a lifetime!) and people in lower income countries to take up where the people here need more inorder to live here. And if Google were to be honest they need people who want to live in the bay area and are willing to enslave themselves to do it! And now that the flow of new blood was cut off now Google again needs fresh souls...so they are coming for anyone who can type, and wants to move the CA and live in their Hooverville.
Would great if people can share if expert career path exist. How those work, what they look like and what the benefits are. Because we are also struggling with defining those.

This hybrid approach was used for a series of arcade games on XArcade for the Xbox 360. Frogger, Gauntlet, Joust, Gyruss and a bunch of others. I think we referred to it as "reskinning".

Mostly it was applying higher-resolution tiles and sprites but some had particle effects added. For instance, some exhaust smoke on the cars in Frogger.

My favorite was Gyruss which is somewhat like Space Invaders of Galaxian but with a 3rd person view from behind the player's ship so you see enemies come toward you in pseudo-3D. We found that the game internally used polar coordinates and had a fair bit of code that converted those 2D and chose the right sized sprites. Replaced all that with 3D models rendered at the same spot in space.

I view these techniques along a continuum where you're essentially changing the porting layer. An emulation puts that layer at the hardware. A hybrid approach pushes it some ways into the game. A source code port is above the binary but some ways into the code. A remake is at the "game design" level.
