> How can you blur the line? It's either online multiplayer or it isn't, there's not really an in-between. You can't "kind of" have other people connected to your game. They're either there or they're not.

Dark Souls does precisely this in a fantastic way in two major mechanisms. The first is the shared player "graffiti", wherein players can write messages that are then propagated into others' games. The second is the shared "death ghosts', which play back a player's last moments before death in others' games as a ghost you can't interact with. These make the game feel like you're playing with others in a large world without having to actually put you in the same instance.
yeah, but it's so difficult to get the general population to do anything that may benefit their health and that leads to oversimplifications.

I worry that some people just read a headline and can't cope with details (or don't remember) and end up ignoring the initial good advice.

there's a reason why 99% of australia knows the word melanoma.
The best way to get European allies up to 2% is for the US to make clear moved down toward 2%. As long as the US is going to sacrifice it's citizens welfare to find Europe's defense, why shouldn't Europe let them and focus on domestic welfare?
Even if we accept the premise (and people seem to be falling over themselves to visit hookah bars and that kind of crap) there are other ways to consume marijuana.
Thank you for this. I thought about how I handled my intrusive thoughts (also about eight years ago) and I realized I wrote songs about it.

I have never been as prolific as a songwriter since I became generally happy, but reading your comment gave me strength in remembering how much pain I used to be in and how things turned out not so bad after all.
> Text based coding is certainly more efficient in representing logic in a concise way, but the current set of frameworks and tooling on text based environments requires an exhorbitant amount of learning to produce a working application(e.g React)

That's a problem with this particular set of tooling then. In the past we've had drag'n'drop tools like visual basic which made rapid prototyping easy and you'd use the same tools for the final version. On the text side you've got similar tools like Qt and Gtk which allow you to slap together a prototype quickly and then use them for the final application. I always assumed react was quite similar.
Monopolies are inherently bad because not being subject to competitive forces means they can charge what the market can bear, rather than the rate set by competition. This is bad for the consumer, bad for competition, and bad for the economy (fewer people are making transactions than at the market clearing price, slowing down economic growth). If that makes you sound like a libertarian it speaks poorly to their general economic literacy.

On the flip side, Tesla is also treated a lot better than smaller competitors, because its size enables it to play states off against each other:

I really like this comment a lot because it mirrors my experience with brute force type solutions to problems. It's pretty much what I always start with because on my first pass I need to prove that the problem can be solved in the first place. Then that gives me a baseline where I feel comfortable making changes and trying to optimize. Like you said, very often because of business constraints the optimization only needs to go so far and so an "optimal solution" may not necessarily be the one that is fastest in benchmarks. It may be the one I can get out today that solves the business problem now.
It's actually had it for years (probably even always, almost certainly since about 1.5) via middle-clicking the refresh button.
If you think a Sr VP is going to take a meeting from a Sr Dev just to fire them because they tell them things they don't know or don't want to hear, I'd say you are being paranoid. Nothing I do in that meeting will be a fire-able offense. The reality is most Sr Managers crave hear honest feedback, as long as it's given in a respectful way. They may not agree, but they aren't going to take offense.

But if I'm wrong, and this Sr VP is one of the thin skinned exceptions (doubtful since they are taking the meeting from a Sr. Dev in the first place), then I can get a better job somewhere where it's less dysfunctional.
Thanks to you I found something really useful. With this I can finally have the convenient replacement for the good old private window which gets overused for logging in to multiple accounts simultaneously.
>Nobody in the US would ever describe the military as a "necessary evil"

I would estimate that the number of Americans who would say this is about 40%. Of the people who disagree with that, 30% would take issue with the "necessary" part, and the final 30% would take issue with the "evil" part.

>The military is a drain on the budget and every cent that goes to it is a tragic waste

Just look at all the harm it did to the US during WWI & WWII.
Why wouldn't they? Judging from the RLZ related files I had to clean off of my Mac, Google is bundling RLZ (Google's tracking library) with Chrome on all OSes. I'd be shocked if they're deploying but not using something like that.
Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention that the Alles synth wasn't FM. It was additive, like a fourier transform.

It’s not about your google app use. The ad industry in the US is about 150 billion. Google is pulling about 90 billion in ad revenue.
There are so many actual monopolies that seemly get ignored. Maybe google needs to buy I mean donate to more politicians.
I like your style on this one, basically pulling out these: "I was on fire the day I solved it in the recent past, I just don't know why I can't pull it together today"
Start a file somewhere. Use whatever is familiar and comfortable for you. Make it something easy with a very low barrier to usage. You might even just start with an email draft.

Put a link to this discussion in it. Over time, cull through this discussion and create a To Do list. That To Do list might include things like "validate the idea."

If you need a team, make it a goal to create a team. Research how other people have done that under similar circumstances. Do things like collect links to "founder dating" type sites. You might also look for info on single founders. I have some info on single founders curated on an old blog of mine and can give you the link if you want to look through that.

You might try getting a copy of the book Wishcraft. It has very pragmatic information about how to get stuff done in spite of being busy and all the usual human excuses for never getting anywhere.

Start working on the project, even if all you do is write a short overview or intro to a design doc. But you need files and some means to organize them and keep them all together so you can gradually build on these small crumbs of things.

I haven't looked at it in a long time, but I used to read through the YC application and I wrote up some of the answers for me personally as an exercise. If you can get a copy of their current application, start a file and start making notes concerning how you would answer parts of it. If you can't answer some things, make notes about what you need to do to get to the point where you can answer it.

Best of luck.
It says there's a few key technological innovations that the novel posits.
MMORPGs like Lord of the Rings Online and World of Warcraft as far more latency tolerant, because of cooldown based combat systems that are based more on ability usage and some light (distance\occlusion) positioning. Usually they are not as authoritative as shooters and don't have as many object interactions. So combat abilities and attacks, chat, economic and quest transactions are all run on the server with some minimal prediction, but movement and collision are all client side with minimal checks for cheating (speed\distance and maybe unreachable areas) on the server, instead of full physics and collision. Most MMOs are more like a traditional CRUD web application, with important operations backed by a relational database, while shooters are more like voice or video calls, a stream of packets with out of date state is dropped and ignored.

There are of course MMORPGs that break these rules and have more action oriented gameplay or lots of physics and player interaction, but they always make tradeoffs (heavy instancing to limit player interaction is common).
Yes, and if the city decides to close the school, or change traffic routing, saying "but I bought a house because of it!" does not entitle you to veto those decisions.

Yup this article confused me as well.

The current stable release 56 just can't compare to chrome.

Apparently they have decided 57 is stable already but plan to make it official tomorrow.

From my unscientific testing, 57 is only as fast as chrome, while the nightly (59) seems to be faster than chrome. They should have waited until 59 was stable.

I would be using the nightly as my main browser if I didn't have experience with crashes and bugs with nightly versions before.
Indeed, deep ocean life is very strange.
In the three-segment documentary "Meet the Romans: Citizens of the Empire" (by Mary Beard, historian, available in Amazon Prime Video ... see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meet_the_Romans_with_Mary_Bear...) I was struck by:

+ ... how frequently the enslavement of the remnants of conquered peoples (slavery wasn't so much race-based as what "naturally" happened to loser-nations/cultures) led to large numbers of those people eventually being emancipated by their owners and becoming full-fledged Roman citizens

+ ... how seemingly everyone in Rome defined themselves by their industry, by their profession. Most epitaphs on graves and tombs identified occupants by name, place of origin, some brief and sometimes humorous quip about their circumstances, where applicable mentioned their former owners pre-emancipation, and then >>> mentioned what they did for a living <<< ... people defined themselves by their work

While not germane to the larger arguments that probably will happen in these threads here, I was struck by social mobility beyond slavery, and what was core to people's identity. (I'm sure you've heard people complaining about modern society and industry with " ... people are human BEings not human DOings " -- Romans were all about the DOing).

While the Romans may not have had the conditions for a scientific/engineering/tinkering revolution to be a force multiplier in industry, they had a hard-working mindset.

Vimeo isn't, and doesn't want to be, a YouTube competitor.
I agree, and I'm encouraged by the rise of open access. When it comes to data science and machine learning in particular, there is a large amount of open access material, which is awesome.

Basic biology and medical research is another story. Until we see fundamental changes in how researchers are assessed, I don't see how the situation is going to change though. But change it must, and will. Eventually.

But it makes them inaccessible to those of us who are longer at university.

I used to read the occasional paper, usually related to something outside my degree. Those papers are all legally inaccessible to me now.
IPA is just another fad.* It was designed to be shipped to India on sailing ships without refrigeration and have a high alcohol content.

It's different than the mass market piss Americans are used to, but there are much better options for the average pallet.

Maybe when prices drop it will become more like cigar smoking. Despite the health risks I prefer smoking over vaping because I love the act of smoking. I think it would be entirely satisfying to smoke weed like a cigar, but I try not to waste the smoke because it's still expensive.
Oh? I used Cinelerra for quite a while.
Coal mining? You should try harvesting tantalum with your bare hands from open pit mines in the sweltering heat of sub-saharan Africa! Americans these days have it so good in their "coal mines" with all those "safety regulations".
I don't live in SF but it sounded like the community was making unilateral "no" decisions, which is what happens when all the stakeholders get together and agree. To which, the system is working exactly how it was designed. Does one person actually have the power to make unilateral decisions in SF?
Maybe there are different difinitions of “deal with” beig used here? Either way, sexual harrassment is an incredibly difficult problem to “deal with.” Acknowledging it is very easy, but if the ends don’t justify the means, it’s unlikely to happen. The public pressure creates an environment where the ends are more likely to justify the means, but the original issues of how to actually deal with it in an effective manner remain, and they are significant.
How would you determine whether or not there is a "concerted push to deal with sexual harassment and/or sexism in tech"? Perhaps if many tech companies announced such a push? Or maybe if all major tech publications were consistently reporting on the subject? If top tech companies were hiring expensive executives to specifically handle sexism/sexual harassment, would that be enough?

Because all of that has clearly been happening this year. What else can be done?
I gave Firefox a try a month or two ago when people started saying it was good again. I think I had a problem with uBlock origin not working well enough - too much crap was getting through. What are people using for adblock?
well thats what I meant. Basically I'm not a game dev, but keeping simple values on the stack is most often not a problem. However it's insane how many Lists, Arrays I need and I'm a web developer. So I guess a Game Dev even needs more of these (Inventory, Stats, Chat, whatever)
They should learn from Comcast, which manages to bribe government in banning their competiton :)
Does it still default to Yahoo search?
Yes, OP's advice is perhaps a good first approximation but a lot of people have a kid get sick, or some other disaster that could not be helped. Not everyone, for sure, but a lot.
It seems like a pretty ubiquitous problem.

I feel like it's actually just about the least painful in C#, since pretty much every collection interface derives from IEnumerable<T>. It doesn't define have methods for random access or getting the size of the collection, but it is at least immutable, so you can get away with using it quite a bit, maybe even most of the time.

In Java, on the other hand. . . woof.
Web Frameworks: Conclusions
> Why am I paying for a game if it doesn’t have dedicated servers?

Uhh, because paying several hundred people for the 2-3 years to make a AAA game costs money.

Warframe is free-to-play and survives off microtransactions. Cool, that's one business model. Destiny is a shrinkwrapped pay-up-front game with microtransactions on the side. Another business model.

The question of "why no dedicated servers" is a good one but it's separate from the actual business model.
I'm not convinced they correlate with years of experience. In fact they may well inversely correlate. I give a relaxed algorithm design screen to candidates (of which roughly 70% pass -- I'm a soft touch) that include a problem that is mildly academic in nature. New grads are the ones that tell me they already know it and I have to move on to the next problem (which, amusingly, they never have experience with). Experience people often have a vague recollection of what it does, but not enough of a recollection to prevent me from learning something from the discussion about how to get it done.

I'd still ask for the definition of factorial.

Sure, for various reasons, most programmers know the factorial, but I'd consider remembering the definition of some mathematical operation only common in certain domains (statistics and finance?), that most people only learn in high school and never use again, to be rote memorization.
FF has indeed become faster now, but man, how bad is it's dev tools. I remember this time when I kept FF for development purposes solely due to firebug. Things might reverse this time as Chrome's dev tools are Superior to FF's counterpart.

I think serverless refers to the use of 'lamdas' as the unit of deployment, as oppose to containers or VM's, but someone else may want to add/edit that.
I still see tobacco ads in magazines like Wired.
" I would prefer we "make life difficult" for companies based on their behavior, not their size."

It's pretty hard to measure behavior but size is easier to measure. As as Tesla goes they are still a very small company compared to their competition so I don't think there is any need to think about their market power and suppression of competition.
The loot server is hosted, not player authoritative.
I'd love to see that, too. Great accelerationist tactics :-)

Its unlikely that people who are inclined to abuse their power this way will not notice. Its been a media blitz, and its astonishing how prevalent this kind of behavior has been so far. Hopefully it will at least make the abusers think twice, but more importantly, I hope it will empower the victims to speak out and not feel like its been their fault.
Are you arguing slavery prevents industrial resolutions?

Didn't they coexist in some parts of the world?

Or is it the way slaves were used?

Can you clarify to contrast Roman and US experiences?
Why? Marijuana use may have some attendant health risks, but they are far lower than those of tobacco use (or alcohol use), across the spectrum.
Unless we find out that for some reason all life develops at more or less the same rate from the beginning of the universe. In which case our future could be very crowded.

That, or the window of technological development that we can detect and are capable of recognizing as intelligent is very small. It's possible that superintelligence is all over the place, but we're unable to perceive or comprehend it, in the same way that a nematode is completely oblivious to human society. Once a society creates superintelligence, they might even "clean up" after themselves, so that traces of previous stages of their civilization aren't available for us to observe.

Memetic Rhetoric in 4chan’s Collective Identity [pdf]
> If you don't tax vesting, are you going to instead wait until the shares are sold to tax them? That would be very easy to abuse.

would you care going in details on why this would be "very easy to abuse"?

In France that's how ISO works:

You have 2 taxable events:

- At exercise-time, calculate the gain here (between current date price and strike price).

- At sell-time, calculate the gain here (between exercise date price and current date price).

However, the first event, you don't owe any tax yet. You only pay the taxes for both exercise-time and sell-time taxes the year you sell the shares.

See the picture on [1] where "Prix d'exercise" = strike price; "Levée des options" = day you exercise the options.; "Vente des actions" = day you sell the stocks.

What is not 100% clear to me there is, what happens if the stock lost value between exercise date and sell date, can this loss offset the gains made on the first taxable event. In my opinion, to be 100% employee friendly, it should. But since the exercise date could have happened years ago, I'm not sure those can be offset since they aren't the same "type" of gains.

Anyways, with this system, in the case the company goes bankrupt and you never sold the stocks, at least you didn't pay taxes on money you never had in hands, you only loose the money you spent when exercising the options. I don't see how this can be abused.
