>Working seven days a week as a professional gamer is pretty brutal.

I'm gonna throw some shade towards gameplay streamers. Streamers who do focused content and actually produce shows as you would in a TV/Radio studio have a real job which I've actually done, so this doesn't include them.

Playing a game and running a stream, technically, is not hard. Engaging with viewers is not hard. There's a bunch of solutions out of the box that allow you to manage subscription announcements, overlays, and other stuff, so that isn't too hard either. Spending time in a chair isn't hard. 4-5 hours of working out per week and healthy diet choices would help that, but isn't a panacea because research shows sitting for long periods is bad anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of viewer management software akin to CRM software that make it easier to relate to a larger amount of people. After all, people have limits on the amount of social connections they are able to manage themselves. So remembering your viewers may not even be hard.

The hard part comes with people being unprepared to essentially become public figures (very much in the Hollywood or political sense) and being unable to deal with harassment, death threats, and insults and the worst part of internet. If you don't have enough viewers to shrug off a controversy, your channel will get small, you'll lose revenue, and likely start stressing out about that as well. Having a fallback career plan is essential.

But if you are mentally tough and don't repeat the mistakes of other streamers and public figures (which is likely conveniently available for you to watch), being a streamer is not difficult. Not like other careers. Making money is a different story -- you can do everything right and still not be popular because the mob is fickle. That's just career luck, which isn't specific to streaming. You shouldn't be a public figure if you aren't prepared mentally for it. Twitch can only ban so many people.

However, I very much support tapping this revenue stream. I truly don't care if a loser drops $500 on a streamer who's showing cleavage as long as she's of legal age -- more power to that streamer. And it's up to parents to police their kids watching cleavage streamers. That's not really Twitch's job.

Just call it for what it is: easily hacking viewership for revenue. The exception being taking care of yourself mentally first.
>The fact that such activity is highly taxed or limited is irrelevant to the point about private property being defended and respected.

I don't think that's what people are thinking of when they say something like Venezuela doesn't respect private property. They are thinking of the seizure of ranches and companies so they can be redistributed.

Is it more shameful than the colleges and universities that push students to taking out these loans (calling them "financial aid") knowing full well what waits them on the other side?
From the article linked upthread:

“[Ryan] reacted very positively to the initial ‘intro to racket with pictures’,” Carmack wrote, “which was a contributing factor to settling on Racket. Java / C# work seemed to feel more like homework, but changing numbers and colors in the REPL had him smiling and excited.“

So Racket does seem to offer that kind of quick feedback.
Something like this would work with some sort of work-school program so long as the person learning is getting paid a fair wage while working (% of the learned person's salary, increasing as time goes on). But I feel trying to sell this sort of thing to businesses so this is the norm is going to be difficult. So sure, if someone can get this sort of thing, go for it.

But we still need the schooling option. For folks that want to start a business themselves. for folks that are getting other sorts of experiences while they are young. People wanting to continue schooling. And so on.
I have similar remarks. On OSX, the tab and the url bars are too big, they seem out of place.. Also, the black tab bar seems strange to me as I have a black OSX menu bar..
I'm rarely one to advocate for legislating solutions to problems but forcing schools be responsible for more of the communication with student/customer/debtor when it comes to loaning money, collecting payments and handling defaults would really cut down on the number of student loans that aren't paid back on schedule.

If the school is responsible for the overhead cost of that communication they will have a strong incentive to make their students capable of paying back their loans or accessing the various deferment/income based repayment options in order to avoid the cost of collections.

A work study student who hates their minimum wage job will be a lot more helpful to a debtor who received a payment due and is calling the 1-800 number on it because they are confused than some random person in a call center that's an Nth level subcontractor for some bank that owns the debt.

A work study student who hates their minimum wage job will be a infinity more helpful to a debtor who is in default and is calling the 1-800 number on it because they are confused than some random person in a call center who makes a commission based on how they handle the account in question.

If the school was responsible for the cost of communicating with the debtor a lot fewer loans would make it into default in the first place.

Typical PR spin-doctored hogwash. They don't need it, arguably, but they sure as hell want it, as evidenced by:

2. Their continued collection of such personal data
And there are tools to avoid even scanning public wifi networks to prevent e.g. in-store tracking, e.g. Smarter WiFi Manager remembers where you've used wifi before based on cell tower locationing, and disables it elsewhere. Works like a charm for me.
Ehhh... one of the big fights a decade ago was over DRM being built into CPUs and displays to the behest of entertainment companies. (They seem to have won that fight, as I now cannot find a lightning to hdmi cable that is “compatible” with Netflix.) During the years over which that controversy raged, I was always struck by the fact that companies like Microsoft and Intel were bending over backward to cater to Hollywood, not their customers.

Fitbit seems like a cool company and I don’t personally distrust them, but I don’t think that particular argument holds water.

I've seen Haxe around for years now, even toyed with it for a bit eons ago. I see it's now branded as for cross-platform development. I'm reading use-cases on their site. So, I have a question. Is it possible to utilise it for writing an app that works both on mobile and desktop, not just cross-mobile or cross-desktop-os?

The "resource curse" theory would suggest that because it was so easy to get that $20 Billion dollars of oil, there was no need for investment in other parts of the economy. This therefore leads to a crappy country to live in for most of its inhabitants.
Mozilla doesn't create all those extensions.

And the extensions' authors had, what, two years advance warning or so?

Criticize the real culpits, not Mozilla.
It is, but it does only work on Firefox (and GNOME Web), so if you want to sync with your phone, you'll have to use Firefox for Android (or iPhone) too. Which is nice as well, and should become a lot speedier in one of the next few releases too.
Ah, so that is how it went. I knew some devices WP devices (didn't note version) never received the updates.

However, the part about them all being the same Snapdragon devices with slightly different cases, cameras, etc. is still true. Microsoft doesn't have to solve how to make a release for Exynos, Kirin or Tegra devices.
It's not such a big deal if you haven't built everything on extracting 100% of the net revenue of the oil industry. If your take were lower, it would not be as big a hit, and you could raise the take and split the difference. If your take is 100%, there's nowhere to go.
FWIW, the tab shows the loading progress in blue, so you're seeing the result of quick page loads. Not arguing your experience, just clarifying what is happening.

You might like the "Light" theme, which I think is available by default. That won't do any rounding for you, however.
So Mozilla backed out of their 5-year contract with Yahoo then [1]. Do they have a new agreement with Google that I'm not seeing anywhere?

It's not one workflow, and there is no scenario in which all 400 tabs are active at once.

Bookmarks take an extra step to save to, an extra step to load from, and do not stay in sync as I browse. Synchronizing a bookmarks folder with 10-20 tab changes would take significant human overhead.

Bookmarks are also slower to review than tabs, if you need to see anything besides the name/url/icon. You would need to load the bookmark into a tab before viewing it. Tabs are already in a tab, though not necessarily loaded.
The stand goal is measured by standing up and moving around for at least one minute https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204517.

The purpose of the standing goal isn't just to be stood up, it's to stretch your legs and get you away from a desk (it doubles as a good reminder to take a break from your computer screen).
Is there some super-compelling reason why FF doesn't let you inspect websocket frames? I was taking FF for a drive yesterday, based on the earlier thread, and it was nice until I started debugging my web app.

I'm not interested in trusting a third party extension with all my network data either, so the plug-in to do this isn't an option. It's weird, but this really is a blocker for me for general use.
Sure, and tech companies in USA are super trusted. And for sure no backdoors are found. Just one of the recent examples when author of Telegram was "contacted" by USA government during his visit to USA. If you really want to be honest - you should understand that every government is interesting in "access" to popular tech tools - laptops, phones, social networks, messengers and etc.

And it will be really good also to check facts and not yellow press like CNN, BBC and etc and just bullshit Russia.

Trust is a weakness... Never forget it :)
Playing with it now and it works awesome for GTK apps. Sublime Text fonts get a little blurry when using a fractional scale though which is a little annoying.
Take a look at Waterfox [0] fork (at the moment based on Firefox 55).

I've been out of reading news about it are they still shuffling cash to Mozilla?
I really just wish they would go back to letting the search bar change on the fly and remain that way until you change it back. With the little icon letting you know which service it is currently set to.

Does anyone know why that functionality was removed? If I'm searching for anything other than my default chances are I'm going to be searching at least 3 different things before getting it right, but then I can't just change the text and press enter.

While I'm ranting, when did google stop paying attention to the actual words you type and starting showing what they think you meant? I mean I know it's been gradual, but at some point over the last few years I've noticed having to use quotes for almost everything, and it still doesn't return exact results. I assume that has something to do with how they normalize the ngrams and how I'm not the target audience anymore, but it's still annoying.

> Most of the kids watching these streams own a decent computer and can play.

Youre making it sound not only as if only kids watch this, but also like playing any sport at all is so much different - and then compare it to Reality TV instead of live sports. Actual WTF? Some of the streamers (variety streamers) do play for just entertainment value, but most stick to just one game. A lot of it is also being able to live chat with other people watching and interact with the person streaming.

> This isn't like F1 racing where I'll never be able to afford a racecar, or football where I don't want to exercise.

Why isn't it like that? That's exactly what it is. Do you have any idea how long professional esports players competing in tournaments have to work, to stay at the top level? And do you think they can play at the same level on the average person's hardware? Have a look at Starcraft 2, Counter Strike Source, or Osu!. These are games where top players make 100+ strategic actions per minute, need to have lightning reaction speeds and accuracy, and make bursts of 10 actions per second for full minutes, respectively.

How can it be such a shock to non-gamers that people watch other people play a game, rather than play it themselves? Just imagine it - people watching a game! /s
It's exactly the same as every professional sport that has ever existed.

It's not so different from your own example of "football where [you] don't want to exercise." Many video games require skills and can be stressful to play [1] [2]. It's a lot more fun to watch people more skilled than you accomplishing admirable feats. This way, you get to experience the fun without the stress, the same way people watch pro-footballers without playing football.

Also, people doing this aren't all kids. Dota and Starcraft are > 10-year-old games, and many people watching them are in their 30s.

Why would they scuttle their own engagement metrics by pruning out highly-engaged segments of the social network, though?
Which is a great choice IMO. Open source software needs funding, and I'm always a fan of projects finding ways to be self supporting rather than relying solely on donations.

Changing default search is trivial enough for anyone who cares to, and if they did go with Duck Duck Go or similar as the default, I think you'd likely find many/most users changing the default search to Google anyway.
Yeah, I don't see the point of contention against your post. Sweden is largely a free economy with rather high personal taxes. Their energy sector (linked directly with Norway) is (as of recent) considerably freer than you can expect in most of the world. They have many great arms and aerospace manufacturers which operate more independently of the government than the defense industries in most places (which I guess is for historic reasons, owing to Sweden's long history of immense military action [including being willing to invade Russia with the intent of taking Moscow]).

Aside: I really take umbrage with Bernie describing Denmark as a socialist success story, when their success seems to be linked directly to liberalization.
Even assuming you meant "upper bound" instead of "lower bound", this isn't strictly true in theory. To achieve high throughput with large latency between nodes, all you have to do is group transactions into large batches and reach consensus on how they should be ordered (for example, you can run paxos to decide what a batch consists of, and then use any method you like to order within the batch). Running paxos at interplanetary latencies would obviously take some time, but since you can have multiple rounds in progress at once (or increase the size of each batch to be much larger than the latency), throughput isn't limited by latency. In practice, most people care a lot about latency, and achieving the desired latency puts a limit on throughput. See the Calvin DB paper for a more thorough explanation.
Parallel but consistent indexes could be done in a single process too. The tradeoff is natural reads at the cost of extra constant factor of write computation and storage.

Which is exactly the tradeoff RDBMS indexes already make.
The only streamer that I really watch is Brian Kibler, who plays Hearthstone and used to be a pro MTG player. I think the reason I watch him and no one else really is because he's older, doesn't rage, includes his wife in his stream occasionally, and provides insights into his decision making process. He's just good natured and it's the closest thing I've found to those poker tournaments that I used to watch on cable at midnight.

Yeah I can imagine it being better than straight-up java or c#, but I meant using a "batteries-included" kind of game engine.

Anyway, to each their own!
Interviewed at Google, this is spot on. You need to know arrays, trees, graphs, stacks, queues, at least two sorts (I suggest mergesort and quicksort), dynamic programming, greedy optimization, and big O cold at an absolute minimum. I'm sure I'm missing some stuff. They tell you all this in the "secret" onsite prep website.
My guess is the other way around: Yahoo backed out of their contract with Mozilla. The biggest difference for either of these companies this year is that Verizon now owns Yahoo, and probably doesn't want to pay for search market share. If the deal's a yearly cost or something similar, the bill's coming up in December.

Your right on a privacy front from an absolute perspective. But, it's almost certain that Google paid for this change. A stronger Mozilla (financially speaking) is good for privacy and free software.

Also, normal users expect Google. So, having it in the default provides a more familiar experience for them to possibly switch to Firefox.
