I'm not big on Skylines. It looks very pretty, but the agent-simulation model has a lot of issues versus how the older SimCity games worked. To work around the quirks of the "every sim is independent" aspect you have to do weird things with city design that feel counter intuitive for various reasons... for example, who does a city of 50K need a mass transit system? Garbage management has issues too.

I will say this though, a more experienced Skylines user should comment. I bought it early on, played it for a little bit and went back to SC3K and SC4... dusted it off again and played for a little bit more but went back to SC3K again. Some of these issues may have been addressed by now.

Yeah, I ummed over using that word but left it in as it feels as if the original categorisation by Google was done by a misogynist which the algo learned from. The malice is learned.

If you look at Hole, for example, a classic grunge band you can love or hate, most "related artists" are female artists. The Pumpkins and Nirvana are mixed in as token includes, one because it was her husband, the other because Billy Corgan produced one of their albums. Look at Nirvana, almost all male artists, with Hole being the only female artist. Veruca Salt or Garbage are exactly the same. Juliana Hatfield has more males than most, but they're mainly her ex-band mates. (I bet you can tell roughly how old I am from that list ;)

And that holds true for modern artists too. Look at related artists for Courtney Barnett, The Joy Formidable or Laura Marling and again it's predominately females, while if you look at one of the only male bands on Courtney Barnett's related artist lists, Twin Peaks, it's all male artists.

There is deliberate, systematic, segregation by sex of the artist happening at Google Play.

Laura Marling, for example, is a strong part of Modern British Folk, and that she's being side-lined by google algos is pretty malicious in my book (Short Movie (Director's Cut) is an excellent album if you want a go).

EDIT: researching and writing this makes me realize I can't keep paying for Google Play, I hadn't realized how deeply rooted the problem was in the platform.
We Got POP | Lead fullstack developer (JS/Python/AWS) | Shoreditch, London, UK | ONSITE | Full-time

We make it easier for background artists and casting directors to find the perfect extras for films. We've created a platform that allows the whole process of casting, working on-set and invoicing to happen online.

We're looking for someone to join our team and help navigate through some tricky technical waters as we start new product lines, modernise the technology behind our current products and start to be a truly international company.

As a lead developer you'd be providing both team and technical leadership as part of a small team that is growing rapidly. You'll get to work on an interesting and unusual domain and learn how film and television gets made.

Maybe they don't shoot people anymore but US employers put up a lot of pressure against workers who want to unionize. When in Germany I never heard of such a thing. It was widely accepted that unions are part of the economy.
I vouched this comment because it quotes relevant information from the RMG web site. My guess that the token is irredeemable is incorrect, though my general lack of enthusiasm for this offer remains.

What I would like to see is a token accepted by a wide network of gold dealers and depositories. It would be useful to be able to exchange the tokens for gold both ways and also be able to exchange the tokens for crypto and fiat currency at exchanges.

This provides no benefit whatsoever over the pooled gold options depositories using a centralized ledger that already exist, and is less attractive than an ETF for those who only way to trade the market.

Oh yes, it sure is.

Well, depending on how you marketed the initial installment, you could be the one at fault. The industry norm is that quality and security updates are free for the support life of the product (which is usually longer than you say it is). In some jurisdictions you might have no legal right to deny the updates, regardless of what your contract says about warranty.

If you want to save yourself the hassle, factor the cost of maintenance updates into the initial cost, and market upgrades as big new releases like Windows or AutoCAD do.

I mean... are people worried about Dogecoin blowing up? Or any other coin? There is basically no problem here. If you don't believe in USDT... don't buy it.

It's like saying government-issued currencies are going to "blow up" because Zimbabwe keeps printing fat stacks. Don't hold Zimbabwe dollars - problem solved!

Traders want something like USDT for the utility it provides. I don't think most traders care about the backing of USDT or it's potential redeemability for USD. I think most people enjoy the utility of a token that is always ~1USD. There are other tokens that promise to bring the same utility to crypto (DAI, etc). If USDT disappears (as NZDT just did, RIP Cryptopia's bank accounts), another stable coin will fill the void.

So even if Tether explodes, and it's actually been running with 0 financial backing this whole time - uh, well, tell me how that's different from any other cryptocurrency that has exploded and imploded in the last few years? It would seem to me that the healthiest thing for crypto right now is to figure out Tether's financial health (so people can decide if they want to safely use it) - but I don't think the marketplace will feel any "shockwaves" from a possible collapse.
> The advantage of Mark over S-expressions is that it is more modern

Is it more modern because it is newer? There is mention of how adoption is limited, but wouldn't the adoption of a completely new syntax be even more limited :-)

>Bitcoin is not just casino though there is actual known and potential uses of bitcoin one is as a currency.

Except several vendors have recently started dropping it as a currency primarily because a currency which is deflationary makes a good investment and a terrible currency. Bitcoin has no use-case, or maybe you can disillusion me and tell me what you've done other than hold it?

Besides, what this thread has illustrated to me is that bitcoin is a gamble, same as a penny stock.
Sometimes yes, but the sumner/vacation time blocks start out highly priced, because the demand is known to be high (since it's been high for at least decades)
What he forgot to add:

Some disadvantages of Mark, comparing to JSON would be:

* Mark is insecure, JSON is secure.

* Mark is slower than JSON

Passing types directly to object.constructor is of course entirely insecure. https://github.com/rurban/Cpanel-JSON-XS/blob/master/XS.pm#L... (i.e. CVE-2015-1592)
JS objects are tables, with Arrays being a syntactic convenience with some extra properties. JS engines do heavily optimize for the array case with dense layout.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/scripting/javascript/object...

Calling it novel to JS is a stretch. Lua does this too and I’m sure there are other languages.
Doesn’t have a native date/time, so no advance over JSON really
Tl,dr: “it makes sense to settle down”. Tells how much this is pure projection from the author (he’s open about it).

Apple has amazing bricks to build on (Watch especially) so to not settle down. Even iPhone X shows they can still bet big with their flagship.
That sounds good because the Spotify playlists I listen to have a surprisingly small pool of songs.

For example, I've heard almost all the tracks of the Mexico -> "La + Chingona" playlist on the first sitting. It says they are regenerated each week yet it's the same songs reshuffled. All of the Mexican playlists are like this, but I've never tried other playlists so I don't know if it's Spotify-wide. Maybe they just have a bad Mexican music team.
I really can't stand compositing in natural-looking photographs. If you're going for surrealism, or abstract, or some other synthetic aesthetic, or you're fulfilling a commercial contract like make the product look good, then go for it. Composite away. But when I see a photo that looks like a natural scene, and then I find out it was composited, I lose respect for that "photographer."

Why? Because the emotional power of a photograph is in the implicit promise that it captures and portrays a real moment in time--not just in matters of technical merit like color, composition, and sharpness. What makes a strikingly original natural photo impressive is the effort that it takes to really capture that moment.

Gluing a moon into the background of a nice photo is like walking around wearing a Google t-shirt and telling people you founded Google. It's fake. And it's not fair to the people who really did the thing you're claiming.

You can tell the matter of authenticity is important because of how many photographers lie about their compositing work. If compositing is indeed a valid artistic technique, why not lead with that in the title or photo description? But so many people and institutions, even very top folks like National Geographic or Art Wolfe, have failed to disclose compositing--and that's done on purpose. Even worse are folks (like apparently Peter Lik, based on this reporting) who invent stories (i.e. tell a lie) about the personal efforts they went through to get a particular photo.

Folks, please: don't composite natural-looking photos. And if you do, be 100% honest and up front about doing so.
Sidewalk Labs Launches Coord, a City-Planning Platform

The biggest problem with these ideas is that json is already supported in the browser.

There might be a use case where your data is better represented in LDIF because it's hierarchical, but there's no built in LDIF support, so now you're importing a ton-o-javascript just to parse some new format.

At this point, we should realize json isn't meant to be human readable anyway. If you need to hunt through it, you put it into some type of json viewer so you can see the tree and query it. It's an interchange format, that's more compact than XML.

If you're shipping data between non-browser things like backend services, there are already binary formats like protobuff that have typing and can be optimized for small payloads.
I would say its more of the case that developers unnecessarily make projects more complex than needed. Certainly on the last couple of projects I have inherited.

Clean iOS Architecture Part 2 - Good Architecture Traits
To put it very simply, the purpose is to develop software with provable correctness, fault tolerance and security using a category theoretic model of computation and programming. In particular, the goal is to do this in the context of distributed systems, where byzantine fault tolerance is a typically desirable property.

I’m not affiliated with Pyrofex, but I’m working on research in applied category theory and cryptography, and I’m familiar with Mike Stay’s publications. Category theory is broadly applicable to both programming theory and distributed systems, especially in the context of deterministic state machines.
For anyone who wants to have a deeper understanding of how CSS works, I highly recommend this short online book (freely available):

http://book.mixu.net/css/

It delves deep into the underlying concepts for CSS layout as described by the spec. I think layout is the hardest part of CSS, as changes can potentially affect the whole page, so it's worth studying the fundamentals.

It was written before grid was a thing, but it does cover flexbox.

I do wish CSS layout was easier to understand. Perhaps CSS grid will change this as it becomes widely adopted.
Many, if not most, crimes go unreported offline. Is it really a shock that the same might be true online? It’s not as though police are likely to find and return your stolen property from a mugging or burglary.

Oooooh. Well that was predictable. Stingrays and lobbying for cryptographic backdoors not enough to do the job hm?
The acre-foot in the desal prices would be $715. All you are proving is that $17 is an unsustainable price and not what non-ag consumers pay at all. California as a landmass has sunk measurably during the few years because of these unsustainable practices.

Current Mark design does not enforce a namespace standard. Namespace can be easily captured in Mark, e.g.
{'ns:elmt' 'xml:attr':'value' ...}

XML Namespace seems to have a lot issues, thus Mark does not want to enforce something exactly following it.

Namespace in Mark, currently, is left upto the application user to define it.

We might be able to come up with a better way to define namespace.

As for the name, you can just use Mark. I use '{mark}' as an alternative name, to make it more graphical, more impressive.
I really like how much effort they put in to make things as natural and unintruive as possible.

The article mentionned there's no interaction yet; I wonder if they could track eyeball movement and use eye blinks for clicking. (Someone else mentionned a ring as an input device which is also an excellent idea.)

>trying to figure out how to provide quality content that I think is meaningful and also monetize it

You continue to pour your heart and soul into your projects, that is clear. Few are willing to be as transparent here; I appreciate learning from your perspective, the responses your approach elicits (even in myself), and the results of your approach.

Solidifying a concrete application for my own future reference: if in the future an opportunity arises for me to share something I've worked on with HN, I will don my flame-resistant suit, thank people for taking the time to interact publicly, and try to apply as much of the advice I prioritize as possible and helpful (with the understanding that I will have a hard time evaluating things objectively) while not disparaging what remains. I also hope to apply these tactics to unsolicited advice/critiques, as has already been clearly demonstrated as difficult for me!

Changing gears to actively pursue monetization is tough and I continue to wish you the best as you do so. My analogy is you've found your dream job and now want to get paid to do it! Thanks much for your time.
Technology is not the solution
It used to be rated much higher, but after Apple bought it some of the more rabid users of Android felt the necessity to post negative reviews because they're so offended by iPhones every day of their lives.

I think this is going to continue to be interesting to watch.

It seems likely that the tether company is a fraud, given the size of their January print runs. It seems likely that not only has tether been used by its owners as a way to prop up crypto-currency prices, but to acquire bitcoin and other coins under false pretences.

There's no proof either way, but the lack of audit is very, very fishy.

Further, I watched the USDT/USD market on kraken on Friday.All morning there was downward pressure, buy-walls of millions of dollars were eaten into and destroyed over the course of a few hours, until there was no bid volume at all down to about 90 cents.

All of a sudden, in the course of about two minutes, a rapid cascade of very small trades (a few tens to a few hundreds of dollars) propelled it back to ~98.5 cents. It looked really dodgy.
My Windows devices since 97 were consistent top of the line and rarely lasted more than 2 years before they slowed to an unbearable speed.

In 2012 I switched to Mac and still use the same MacBook Pro which still runs as quick as it did 6 years ago. It was a huge investment at the time but turned out to be cheaper than the 4+ Windows machine I likely would have cycled through not to mention the boot time and performance gains.

In audio form, as a learner, it's awesome. It's like a mini pitstop for your brain. If you had 20 minutes of nonstop foreign language, your brain can lose track and be overwhelmed. They make really good use of the pitstops by paraphrasing a particularly difficult passage, adding more context with tenses or vocab that would be too difficult for the level, or to straight up define a word.

Does it? The iPhone X (which is a great phone and one that I own) is a Galaxy S8 with a Face ID scanner. They didn't "bet big" on it, it was the only logical place to take their market.

Gestures might be needed for some cases, but there are many situations when you could just use the smartphone as the control device.

These are actually pretty neat guides, I've found one of them pretty handy before. Though I would like to see this site in particular add notes on when they update these. They are "books", but they're updated like websites, but with no notation of if they have been updated. So... if I have a local copy, I have no way to know if it's out of date.
even for large projects?
Tether is in the top 20 in cryptocurrencies by Market cap. What generally happens when an altcoin goes bust is that people try to cash out (buy bitcoin with tether and then sell bitcoin or HOLD). Also, miners will stop mining tether and will move to other cryptocoins. I think it will have a large measurable affect but we shall see.
> I mean... are people worried about Dogecoin blowing up?

Dogecoin isn't used by exchanges as a vehicle to allow dollar-pegged ated trading without handling actual dollars, and Doge:BTC prices aren't treated by cryptocurrency price trackers as if they were, at some fixed multiple, USD:BTC prices.

USDT and Doge don't play a similar role in the ecosystem.
Any article that speculates on Apple's future viability in the market would be remiss not to mention Apple's unprecedented cash hoard. Currently, Apple is sitting on $126B in net tangible assets.

With 100,000 full-time equivalent employees, that means that Apple could pay every one of their full-time equivalent employees (which, as a reminder, includes a large number of retail employees) an average yearly salary of $100K for 12 years while making $0 in revenue and still not deplete their cash reserves!

Or, to put it all in perspective, based on Wikipedia's cited estimate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Space_Station#Co...) the International Space Station cost $150B to construct. Personally, I'm looking forward to visiting the iSS at some point in the future.

$60 is peanuts. I've no doubt plenty would pay well over $100.

Better still get a price, and minimum print run, for a quality hardback with premium paper. Then all or nothing kickstart it with whatever minimum and price is needed. Not forgetting enough profit in the deal for time!
