Well, I don't think your app looks better than an Electron app, in fact, you've styled it in a very web-like fashion. The Blizzard app does not look good and its performance is vastly worse than most Electron apps I've tried, so the irony eludes me.
While I don't support what GP is advocating, JSON based apis are often horrible. Apis that return a list of objects or an object based on having >1 or 1 result are just horrifying, and that's just the start of how badly JSON gets abused.
My favorite was when Twinkies employees went on strike for higher wages, which made the company go out of business. Turns out management wasn't lying when they said they couldn't afford higher wages. The problem with unions is that their interests don't necessarily line up with the company's or even the employees for that matter.
But people looking to test out a new company/os want cheap. They will come back later once confidant. Smaller/cheaper generally also means greater battery life.
“Citizen” it should be noted doesn’t mean the same thing as “person legally living in the USA”. There’s another term used: “US Person” to denote someone living in the US with, as a result, certain rights under law. The media often say Citizen when they mean US Person.
Doesn't that depend where and how they're held? Military detention in an area of active conflict does not allow for habeas relief, no? Boumediene doesn't seen to apply there because it's not an area of de facto US sovereignty like Guantanamo is.

You could reduce download size by a form of lazy loading, download the files on demand/request in the app, so ship the code without most of the media?

If you're paying for the download bandwidth that might help too, as many will get the app and never use it.

You could use IAP to sell new media packs including high-quality.

>However, doesn't someone who commits treason give up their rights as a citizen?

Even if that was the case how would be the treason verified?

If it doesn't need to be verified, it's like there's no rule of law at all -- authorities merely need to say that someone is a traitor and that's it.
If they want to reduce costs, they should fight against the 20% still running windows. Etherogeneity is a huge liability.

Describe the end goal of the company you work for is usually easy ("we provide software for the call center for 911").

Your actual role «development of master-master database cluster to ensure 99.99999% uptime" cannot be expressed in layman terms.

Alternative would be "I write software for Oracle database called Oracle RAC with a 1M$ price tag", which, while also true probably won't make sense.

Sticking to "I work in IT" is probably better than trying to explain the CAP theorem.

The definition that has one 'entitled' to whatever one can get in a voluntary exchange of goods and services?
To be fair, you shouldn't be copy pasting code anyway. But I do understand your feelings, any tutorial from before 2016 probably isn't relevant anymore.
According to a link that someone else posted [1] (Sorry but it's in Italian), they get about 1200 EUR/month (this is net income after taxes, compulsory health insurance and retirement fees).
I guess that Amazon is applying the national contract for the commerce sector [2] (PDF, this too in Italian) and the amount is supposed to be about 1250 EUR (you should consider the lower amount, which is what probably applies to a regular warehouse worker with little experience and no management responsability).

So from what I understand, the union is right in stating that Amazon's pay is not above the national contract.

Keep in mind that there are a number of tricks that can be used in order not the pay the official amount. For example, if you are hired as an apprentice the pay is lower. You can not be apprentice for more than 3 years, but the system can be abused, especially if the turnover is quite high. So in a way Amazon also is right when it says that it pays above average.

But in my opinion the salary is not the main issue, if what is said about the working conditions is true (not only in Italy, but also Germany and the US), those should be fixed because I think they are not healthy.

Can't you use the same argument for robot soldiers? They will stick to rules of engagement and less people will die.

The question with cars and robot soldiers is how comfortable will society be with machines causing human death. Even if overall human death is reduced.

Also,what about accountability? Who would I press charges against if a self driving car chose to save a stranger but kill a loved one? For a human driver,neglect and responsible driving can be measured. But for a machine,the only blame I can place is with a megacorp and their lawyer army for training the ML algorithm that caused loss of a loved one (or loss of a limb)

I fully subscribe to the subjective theory of value. There are other theories which might be good approximations in specific scenarios, but fundamentally, value is subjective. But following that reasoning I believe that if enough people agree on a new means of value storage or value exchange, critical mass can be achieved where the new medium is fully adopted while the old one is abandoned. I think the same thing happened when we transitioned from gold to fiat, and it happened largely under the direction governments around the world. As long as we all agree on it, a new medium can be adopted.

Now, will Bitcoin replace fiat? That would be difficult, and I think people have different perspectives and motives for adopting Bitcoin. I suppose that is why there are so many heated debates where people don’t agree on the valuation. Actually, if you look at the world, people have opposing views on many topics, including on how our economies are run and on how we do monetary policy. Just accounting for that chunk of people that want a hedge or alternative to the mainstream system can explain at least a part of the valuation.

Memory has never been a problem for MC servers. Speaking as someone who's personally been involved in some of the larger servers --

Pain point has always been CPU usage on a single threaded level. Nowadays servers are optimized to the point where we squeeze all of the performance out of the CPU and run multiple instances of MC in order to accomplish that on a multi-threaded level. You can easily hold 500 players concurrent with zero lag on as little as 16GB of RAM and an E3v3 processor. You might say this is a lot of resources, but compare it with other FPS games and how many players they hold on single instances, and you'll realize Minecraft is in it's own league.

Also, due to how much CPU is a bottleneck for MC, Cloud providers are avoided at all costs. 2.2ghz (AWS) is not acceptable at all for the use case.

Minecraft servers are extremely optimized nowadays -- I have no clue where the rumor started that Java was the pain point.
He was asked two questions then began his response with “the answer to the first is”, I think it’s much more reasonable to interpret that as the first question.
FWIW, that's why a lot of the discussions around this will refer to the applicability/interpretation of the 2001 / 2002 authorization to use military force (AUMF). Because that influences what an area of active military conflict can be.

"Deflation at some point causes people to build stashes of tokens instead of investing in real businesses with real production capacity."

I know we are commenting on cryptos but what about money?

wouldnt people put their money into savings accounts (which is also investing not hoarding as banks loan their money out) or into a business if they were going to get a higher return than deflationary rate? Of course i M not going to invest in you if you offer a pitiful 1% interest rate and the deflation rate is 1.5%.

With money, building stashes and hoarding would literally be hoarding it under your bed, no? Putting it into your savings account is technically investing it as it allows banks to loan more to businesses. Where is the flaw in my thinking?

Treason, possibly uniquely in the US, has a specific, constitutional definition. You can't just throw that word around (in legal context).

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

What you think you know about the experience of having a disease like HIV from passive conjecturing is nowhere what it is like actually having it, including "biomedical" symptoms.

I'm not here to try to educate you on all of the nuances of it in a comment, but suffice to say that you would not be so cavalier if you found yourself infected with HIV.
No. There was a lot of effort put into things that make no sense in the go version, including using a concurrent, lockfree, snapshot iterating hash array, where they'd most likely have better performance in this case with a map and a mutex.

This was NOT simple. The node.js version is simple. The Go version is overblown in complexity and abusing the language.

Rewrite the go version using just as simple of structures, and using a sqlite, and I'm extremely confident that it'd be more performant.

> just because your `unsafe` blocks are small and infrequent doesn't say anything about the quality or "buggyness" of your code as a whole if those `unsafe` blocks are dependent on largely the entire rest of the safe code.

This is true; what I'm getting at is that you shouldn't allow your unsafe code to depend on "largely the entire rest of the safe code."

Unsafe code should be used together with the visibility system, the borrow checker, and the trait system, so that it only depends on a very small amount of code within the same file or even the same function.

Then the vast majority of the program can be written in safe code that cannot violate the invariants of the unsafe code.

I spun it up on my server (an FX-8350) and it seems the load is higher than the stock server w/ a view distance of 24. Mind you I'm only running one realm (we really only stay on the default world) because it's just my ~8 person gaming group.

It is continually surprising to me that there are all these reverse engineered minecraft servers yet none of them seem to provide a significant performance advantage within a single world. Cuberite, Glowstone, etc. They provide a notable boost when your machine is serving many worlds, but it seems most still use a single thread per world model. At least cuberite offloads chunk generation to a second thread, but in their own documentation they claim they don't want to support arbitrary levels of multithreading for fear it would hurt performance on anything less than a quad core. Even though this is a bit of a misconception, I don't understand why they wouldn't make such a thing configurable.
Why would Verizon or Comcast agree to do that? The ISPs are the one's pushing to have these kinds of consumer protections removed in the first place. They're not going to start a campaign of harassment against those who agree with them just because you made a kickstarter saying you'd get ISPs to agree to it.
yeah looks strange; I think motion blur to reduce "discomfort" when rotating the camera may have been a better compromise; or maybe removing all single-out black pixels (e.g. those with no adjacent black pixels in a 4x4 radius).

How come you assume a person named Sabine must 100% be a woman?

And how come you assume that even if said person indeed has the XX chromosomes (to be nominally classified as a "woman"), that they also self-identify as a woman and prefer the adjective "she" over "he" or some other?

See how far this rabbit hole goes?

It's easy why they assumed the author is male: they don't care who the author is, and didn't read their name on the blog. I read the first 6-7 paragraphs of the post and didn't bother to read the name either. And even if I had, "Sabine" as a name doesn't tell me anything about the gender (not a name we have in my country, nor a very well know one, like Mary or Helen or something that everybody would guess). Heck, there are Spanish men called "Maria".

Had I made a comment I might have used either "they" or assumed it's a man, mostly because statically for things posted at HN, it would be true.

No way. You can’t assert that someone is lying through their teeth and then utterly fail to provide even a single counterpoint. This is equivalent to yelling “fake news”.

Keep in mind, the entitlement works both ways...

This isnt just for you, more of a general thing. Ive seen it a lot in this thread alone.

Creating an OSS project doesn't entitle you to be treated a certain way either. Nothing does. Being entitled at ALL is bad, so expecting good or bad is just a waste.

I try to live more by the "give everything you can, expect nothing in return, be grateful if something comes" mentality. Shitty people are going to be shitty people, and most of them are shitty for a reason - so feel bad for them, not angry or annoyed at them. Nobody WANTS to be an asshole...
Let me put this as pragmatically as possible.

There are many who are currently in some form prison on US soil, who have no access to legal counsel, who have not been charged with any crime (though they have been accused), who will not get out out because no-one outside the system even knows they are there.

This is a fundamental right of the US government - it does not have to follow any clause of the US Constitution it does not want to. That is, the rights of the US government trump the rights of the citizens of the US.

You citizens are just irrelevant and just there to do as you are told. When you do get a little upset, you'll get a small useless dirty bone thrown to you to gnaw on. So shut up, do as you are told and we'll keep you safe and sound, because we are the "good guys" and you are nothing.
That gets really fuzzy though, as I'm sure there's components in Windows 10 that's also present in Windows 2000. Are they required to relinquish those to the public domain as well?

I would expect a government capable of launching nuclear warheads to any location on the planet and sending a man to the moon to also be capable of filtering out spam in a comment system.
