That doesn't match my experience. I've been rich, and I've been poor, and trust me, rich is better. It's not like being rich solves all problems, not even close, but there's a class of problems that just go away if you can throw a few dollars at them, and I'm not even talking about particularly large amounts of money. And additionally there's a constant low-grade stress from living without a safety net that goes away once you have a solid emergency fund, insurance, healthcare, personal safety, etc..
Yeah, quitting the job with no savings is a mistake. The things he could have done better are mainly

1) Proof that people want to play this game. Post the gameplay video on /r/indiegaming, see what people say. I remember the early days of Minecraft, people went wild for it, even though it was very basic.

2) Marketing. Tweeting is not enough. Submitting to reviewers is not enough.

On the positive side, he is fast and can deliver. I feel like he can develop minimum viable games even faster, just to prove the gameplay is addicting.
A lot of Americans have entirely no choice in their broadband provider. Many areas have a single provider who actively prevents any other company providing access in that area. Those customers don't have the luxury of calling up and cancelling unless they're happy to go without broadband. "Vote with your wallet" only works outside of monopolies.
> I agree the future is hard to predict, but I don’t know about your claim the US engages in similar trickery.

The US clearly engages in the sort of behaviour that was described as trickery. The state is massively indebted and piling on huge deficits each year, and the only thing that keeps lenders lending money is this belief that the US will always repay its debt. Meanwhile the US deficit is used as a never ending source of free money created out of thin air that's injected into the economy, thus contributing to artificially inflate the volume of money being exchanged (i.e., the GDP)
It's tough to say. I've been here since April of 2008, and I've definitely seen a lot of change. Certainly the tone / prevailing sentiment in many areas has changed. But the quality? I'm not sure I even know how to measure that.

Subjectively, yeah, I think the quality of the discourse here has gone down, and I would say I feel like something of an "Eternal September" effect has had an influence. But I can't really prove that.

That said, while I get annoyed by some of the stuff I see here lately, this site is still more fulfilling that most similar sites, so I still spend more time here. I have been gravitating back to Slashdot a little more lately though, just for a different take on things.

Next? Well, there's an invite only site called lobste.rs that is largely populated by ex-HN'ers. They keep it invite only to try and avoid that watering down / culture change effect. The flipside is that the amount of traffic there is much lower.

This is out of the CIA playbook, and they are likely to be the largest users of this tactic. Stop buying into their deep state Russia villification program. The Brits are probably second, with Israel tied, and Russia and China in third place.

In the IC, operations against the US match the above as well. Everyone loves to rail on Russia, but they are peanuts compared to the collusion that is AIPAC... Now you didn't say the Russians, so correct me if I am misinterpreting.

My point is that operation mockingbird just changed names after the Church committee. WaPo is part of it, as are numerous others. Our own deep state (in the Peter Dale Scott sense of the term) is the most active in deception and manipulation of the American people, and it's high time they realized it.

I could go further, but it delves into "conspiracy theory" territory that most people don't like to hear.

If you thought foreign (aka Russian) interference via social media was bad, imagine your internet service provider having discretionary control over the priority of your news and information feed.

It would be like telephone companies being allowed to decide which calls to allow through and relegating the rest to busy signals.

Ok, I'm really scared now...

I mean if legally they can block bittorrent or other protocols, does it mean that one could create a new protocol each time it's legal to block it, rince and repeat, and force the legislator to create a new law forbidding each nez appearing protocol?

Also one might implement ways to prevent protocol detection into a BEP, but if comcast ends up shutting down any traffic that is peer to peer... I wonder if legally they could forbid any traffic that is "too much peer to peer" and argue that it's illegal downloading. Hard to say if comcast could win in court, because if you do the stats, most of peer to peer traffic is indeed illegal.

The internet could end up without any peer to peer traffic, and only works with servers, most users would not really complain, things would still work like they already are. It would really create pressure from users to change ISP.

Some ISPs might not block peer to peer, and I wonder if subscribers would end up moving out of neighborhoods where comcast has a monopoly.
HAXM started off as a part of the Android SDK for Windows but is now a standalone component as its wider applicability has been noted and capitalized upon.
Portugal (EU) has a slightly nuanced problem within Net Neutrality. EU does have net neutrality but they also allow Zero Rating based on some criteria [0]. I am unsure on the procedure to allow Zero Rated services. If the default choice is "Allow until regulations violated", a simple change in default choice to "Ask for EU Approval" would prevent such scenarios.

TWh/year makes sense if you want to talk about the entire energy consumption over a year.

1.7GW lacks a time frame, 15TWh/year is more useful in that context, even if you can just short it down to 1.7GW.
So both Apple and Google control the market, and each uses the "not a monopoly" excuse because of the other company.

There's no practical difference.
You raise a good point. I think the net neutrality ethic can accommodate traffic shaping by application type, provided certain conditions are met:

A) Traffic shaping is done in the public's best interest.

B) It doesn't discriminate between packets of the same type but different providers.

C) Carriers are transparent about how and why they shape traffic.

D) All affected parties retain ultimate control over how shaping happens.
It's wasn't obvious to me that trucking is much less energy effecient than rail. According to treehugger.com rail achieves "400 ton-miles per gallon whereas trucks currently hover around 130 ton-miles per gallon" [1]. I wonder why that would be - rubber tires vs steel-on-steel? Traffic? There isn't much traffic during the majority of a long-haul and the last few miles have to be done by truck anyway.

If my ISP filters by protocol I'll get a new ISP.

It should be standard to:

1. Cancel your acct.

2. (nd amendment) use protocol 6 port 443; emulate SSL

Why ignore one's ability to apply market forces? Is acting too hard?

Extra LOL on the thought of filtering BT. Who pay's who?
The foundation for the great firewall of America has been laid.

Trump admires china, and promised a wall.. we just had the wrong context.

But seriously this sucks... But I am sure evolution of the protocol to thwart detection will happen.

Vps/seedbox usage would go up as a quick bypass... But who knows, this could allow them to block whole network segments in worst case scenario.

I can see this play out like long distance plans

Remember though, multiple regulations make pay-for-use work. For instance, due to rules on product package labels, you can figure out the power consumption of one product and compare that to other products (should be easier to do and more important to consumers but I digress).

I would love to reach the point where I can take these bloated, horrible web sites and make them have to publicly embarrass themselves by publishing their relative Internet consumption.
I agree with this. I work with a SaaS company that is also a use case for this scenario (www.Zenkit.com) and we haven't had too much push back on security. The cloud is so much more secure than it was a few years ago. On-premise is often less secure now than the cloud. If your company is still using Excel though, you probably wouldn't know that.

Layers. NATO is a layer, one based on hard power. EU membership is another layer, one based on soft power.

For me personally the third reason isn't really the problem. It's more "I'm overwhelmed by the task" or something similar. I think most people have problems with actual task setting.

> As was pointed-out repeatedly yesterday, those are add-ons for mobile data.

I don't see how that changes anything about the situation. Just because mobile providers have already been far more ruthless doesn't suddenly excuse these practices, some would argue that mobile providers have pretty much normalized this in the very first place.

I consider the vast majority of mobile plans, with data volume caps, straight up rip-offs: The moment you go past your volume cap you might as well not have any plan at all, as the throttled bandwidths usually ain't even fast enough for just regular browsing on the www.

Yes, I realize there are differences in the medium, mobile being shared and all, I still can't shake the feeling that the vast majority of mobile providers use this as an excuse for not expanding capacities and instead nickle&dimming everybody trough data volume.
One explanation could be that computer programming has been a quickly growing field.
What’s interesting is that Skype seemingly changed its entire protocol from a peer-to-peer setup that would be hard to block, into a central model that is easier to block. Fortunately they also made the client so incredibly less useful that I stopped depending on it years ago.
Okay, so I came from C and this part really put me off. Why? Because I like saying what I mean, and meaning what I say. Nothing hidden, nothing implicit. And C, as opposed to C++, does not allow you to say something you don't mean.

Here is one C++ example, without looking for the signature of f(), there's no way to tell the answer. So essentially two pieces of identical code with identical input values and no external side effects can still give you different output. Ah C++, the garbage that you are.

int x = 5;
f(x);
// WHAT IS THE VALUE OF X HERE?

int x = 5;
f(x);
// WHAT IS THE VALUE OF X HERE?

So why is Rust any better in this regard? Because at the end of the day, Rust deals with actual concrete types and values, the only thing references are good for is being references: they sometimes save you some copying and let you refer to stuff and that's pretty much it. So the "ref1 == ref2" operation is a deep equality check and not a "does ref1 point to the same object as ref2" check. Because sometimes objects in different places in memory can be semantically equal. So it's okay for obj1 to mean obj1, &obj1 to mean obj1, &&obj1 to mean obj1, etc...

If you need raw pointers like you need in C, because you know the objects you want to compare are singletons, then you can always cast using

&obj as *const Obj

or

&mut obj as *mut Obj

But that's an escape hatch.

BTW, this auto-dereferencing you're experiencing is part of the Deref trait if you ever want to overload it. But that's, in my own opinion, an escape hatch as well.

All in all, unless you're doing very specific things, try to write your code in high-level semantics (meaning using these deep-equality rather than pointer-equality semantics), and then benchmark and find out which parts are hurting your performance. Rust allows you to do that and still get between very-reasonable-and-very-good speed.

Depending on your needs, there are quite a few of them.
For smaller or non-commercial projects, you can use the free version of Delphi. Creating a native desktop app is superfast. The downside is that if you need multiplatform support you need to pay.
If you care about Windows, you can just use Visual Studio and one of the languages included.

If, however, you want a free tool to rapidly create multiplatform apps, I think the only real contender is Lazarus. It has some rough edges at places, but it works quite well, you can construct medium-complexity apps quite easily, and it's really fast.
The Windows 8 start menu was fantastic however.

Just start typing (like you're supposed to do now), but it would search only programs and settings pages, lightning fast. Then Cortana came and it tried to read your mind and search the internet and it all went to shit again.
Of course given you can crank out a game that quickly it may have been better to not quit your job and release the game on the side. If it had been a success then quit. Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it?

There are some strong positives here - you shipped a game! That alone is awesome. You built up a community. You were prepared to take a chance. All great things.

The harsh reality is the casual games market is brutal from a business perspective - that's not your fault.

Better luck next time!
Yeah, but definitely not if you're importing into UK.
Suppose the VPN is on port 443, 465, 993, or 995. Would the ISP be able to tell that it is a VPN and not an HTTPS, SMTP, IMAP, or POP server?
I have a choice between Time warner (now spectrum) or ATT. I have zero confidence in either and my choices are slim. I'd rather have net neutrality enforced so I'm not left having to choose which of those two I'd rather use.
Even the language is wrong. Getting rid of net neutrality doesn’t introduce fast lanes, it introduces slow lanes. Nobody will get faster service than today, but some will get slower service.
Would it be considered an ad if instead it just said 'hey new thing now you can create and print photo books right in the app!' without mentioning price?
I started the keto diet with intermittent fasting about a month ago. Lost 13kg, doesn't have cravings anymore, doesn't feel hungry all the time, and it's easier now to consentrate, fall asleep and wake up.

Domestically - yes. Internationally - SWIFT is no cheaper really, but comes with some restrictions.

For example I can accept my earned money on account in Ukraine, pay taxes here, but can't send it back to an investment account somewhere EU. This just can't be done.

Even more sillier - some time ago it was illegal to merely have an account in foreign bank without obtaining personal license from central bank here.

So yes, there are cheaper ways and there are simpler things and there was people who were sent to GULAG for doing "illegal money transactions".

Even if it's too late for the game, which does seem unlikely for at least some kind of ROI, it doesn't seem too late for the author in any capacity. People go way further past the brink than the author has yet to and recovered just fine. Staring down the barrel of insolvency is like a right of passage for creative work. Some people are luckier than others for not even thinking of it that way ('stupid') or just crazy ('high risk tolerance'). Hell, plenty of people go multiple rounds. Don't let the fear stop you from making moves.

Excel offers a few things in most scenarios, primarily because that any enforced structure always implies lost flexibility, and one of the issues often quoted with Excel is the lack of enforcement of using the right structures and data sources.

A simple one: If I have been asked to do a report, but it turns out I don't have the correct access rights to some data, my manager can simply send it to me in an Excel sheet, or he can log an issue with IT to change the acess rights to a specific key/dimension/hierarchy.

The 'one true data source' move often correspond to tighter access controls when good auditing really would have been the correct solution, hence the above situation is fairly common.

I don't quite buy this suggestion. ISPs would easily be able to identify and block VPN traffic running over their lines. The best action here is to act while there is still time to change course.

Another pressure point besides contacting your gov representatives (or visiting their offices in person!) is to contact Comcast, Verizon, AT&T and let them know that you, your friends and family will cancel contracts and boycott their services if they continue to support Pai and his dangerous agenda.

What he is proposing would be like giving your telephone company discretionary control over which calls they let in or out and relegating the rest to busy signals.

I was about to ask about this tool. Looks amazing. How have you found it to alternatives (e.g. onenote / evernote, mindmap tools, etc.)?
Sounds like you are a prime customer for a 3rd option. Market forces are real. BTW, since you have 2, competition is still there. Zero confidence or not, one will take advantage of the other's mistake. Do you also have telco DSL avail?
The analogy there is poor.
I think for small games like this, there's a lot to be said for building up a corral if releases. Once one makes a decent splash, you'll have a better audience for future releases, as well as people exploring your back catalog. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Keto diet is terrible for you. You are losing weight because you are sick. It's the refined carbs and sugar that are not good, you just need to get them from whole sources with the fiber and all.

Khanna’s original tweet implies that Meo is blocking or limiting certain “packages” unless you pay for them, the way that you can’t watch HBO without the right cable plan. But that's wrong.

It’s an add-on to general-purpose mobile subscriptions, which let you access any service — including the ones above. The idea is apparently that if you’re into apps like Snapchat and Facebook (or... LinkedIn, I guess), you pay around $8 a month to specifically get more “Social” data, so you can use your regular allotment for everything else. It looks a lot like the “Vodafone Pass” service in the UK, where subscribers can pay for unlimited access to a similar stable of services.
