With 3.4, I got to the point where I could probably win at least 1 in 5 games (and did so with every class). 3.6 got more difficult but I'd guess I could win roughly 1 in 10.

(None of that came without playing a lot of games where I did poorly over months and months, along with some liberal use of explore mode, and reading a lot of spoilers. It's a time investment for sure, not necessarily a wise one.)
45 here. Two in college, two teenagers and my wife is back in school. I've managed software teams in the past and have done my share of coding but today, I work from home and code for a living which I truly enjoy but would definitely entertain the opportunity to have my hands in more things. I think the biggest things I have discovered in my 40s is a refocus on my physical and emotional health especially by discovering meditation - at this point I feel that meditation has had the biggest impact so far. I also try not to overreact to things in my life and to try to enjoy the moments more and try to be supportive of my wife and kids as much as I can. As far as professional development, try to do side projects that scratch an itch and allow you to develop skills you wouldn't normally be able to develop at a day job. Try to stay up-to-date in industry and attend conferences when you can, they are great for the exposure to what's going on in industry but its also nice to meet other professionals, network and get out of the office.

You need to learn to separate the message from the messenger. If you didn’t know who said it, does it make sense in and of itself? What if instead of Thiel the quote was attributed to Obama or Taylor Swift? Who actually says lots of insightful things, she is very smart.

I agree with Thiel here: management is not a generic skill that can equally be applied in any field without any domain knowledge. Obviously very few things are! But few claim to be either, and MBAs do.
> In fact, many of them get their devices handled/repaired by Apple in a good manner.

In fact, many get an ok repair for a trivial problem being charged a fortune, while just as many simply dont, because apple stores have very strict rules what they're allowed to repair and what not.

my wife had a sim card stuck in her iphone 4 or 5 once. they took the phone, returned after 20 minutes and said they couldnt fix it and offered a ridiculous discount if she'd buy a new iphone instead. she declined and we took it to some shady local repair shop. the guy took it into his back office and returned after 5 minutes with the card removed. charged 25 bucks.

and i get why people compare apple to religion. that fucking apple store was built like a temple, you had these superior 'geniuses' running around, an overly fancy waiting area. i see how it gives apple fans their fix making them willing to pay anything. it was the first and only time i set foot in one of their stores.

Yes, a few times!

Unless you require "honestly" to avoid having ever read the source code. This is one of the rare games where I think understanding the source actually improves the gameplay. There are soooo many interactions that you can't possibly factor it all in; you just sort of get a sense of the programmers' philosophy and that guides the rest of your play. You would have to spend your whole life playing NetHack to develop a thorough understanding of the game rules; you only have to spend 1/10 of your life reading the source to get an equivalent perspective.

It's the only game I can think of where spending 1/10 of your life developing a perspective on it is actually time well spent. The source code (and the comments!) are a joy to read.

You could argue that Cupertino has a long, narrow "downtown": Stevens Creek Boulevard between the new Main Street complex and the Oaks.

One limiting factor is that political downtown (City Hall and the library) is off on its own in what was traditionally a business office complex neighborhood, with no nearby commerce per se.

Only additional advice is to do some of it at work... part of your job should be to learn. Get your work done, but also keep learning a priority.
I am big fan of this game, but I wish it had a more appealing user interface - I mean appealing to the general public. Whenever I show nethack to a friend, they're put off by it, and it's a shame because nethack really is a great game and it should be better known outside geek circles.

Ask HN: Comparing a C-level equity-based offer to my salary-focused current comp
I didn't grow up in the US so throughout my career I continued to had to learn about the intricacies of the American employment system including compensation packages.

I feel I am at a new learning point right now as I am considering a C-level role for a series G startup I really admire.

Below is what my current package looks like today as well as what the initial offer of the startup company stands at.

Through my naive eyes it feels I would be falling short quite a bit in the new environment wrt compensation and taking on a lot of the risk (with an IPO/sale uncertain for decades)

My mindset is I would need to negotiate the offer quite a bit up with respect to base to make it feasible and more comparable. However, ppl more familiar in the startup industry consider it a moderate offer even against what my current package looks like right now.

Knowing a lot of it comes down to personal preferences, are there any individuals here that can give a rough qualitative assessment how they'd compare the two aspects and what negotiation items to potentially prioritize - happy to provide any clarification as far as anonymity is retained. Also, if there is anything missing I should make sure is clearly defined I welcome any input.

One thing looking at this (and other solutions like CSS modules etc.) is how to automate E2E testing when you don't have predictable CSS names.

Seems like the discussions some communities (like with Cypress) where dedicated unchanging test attributes should be used, which makes sense to decouple visual selectors from test based selectors.

I second what you said here. I worked as a CTO of a start up which was primarily driven by ego and lies of the CEO. He didn't want to go a rational way and constantly duped (yes duped) investors.

I took a long time to exit the startup. Reason? Because I was not able to think through it, because when you are so much into something you can't think without it affecting your thoughts. But slowly and steadily I was able to judge the situation by thinking practically (keep thinking, many be write your points, that helps).
So for me, best thing was to get out we that company was not going anywhere, may be not the same for you.
After four months I joined a very successful bootstrapped startup in tech role. It is an individual contributor role. But I am learning, and preparing for my next feat. Life goes on.
+1 here. The most significant change of Nethack 4 is to separate game logic into a common library named libnethack[0], so you can write your own interfaces and communicate with server using JSON.

Same with my 2007 MBP. They did eventually replace the motherboard based on the recall but afterwords the DVD player didn't read consistently (but didn't notice till months later) and one of the speakers went out. Also stopped using it for heavy video applications in fear it would happen again.
The terse user interface invites imagination. Therefore, the experience is so much more intimate than what a more graphical version could ever be.
Cruel? What about the other people with an actual useful project who didn't get a chance to raise money because OP was distracting the same investors with a silly idea.

OP used their pitch presentation skills to divert opportunities away from other actual hard working people who might have used the money to do something useful for society.
You see, that's my point.

When products are super-designed to the extent that excellent (thus very expensive) engineering is required to make them last longer, Apple does an excellent job keeping the engineering budget low. While keeping the design strategy constant: thinner, lighter, finer.

At some point Apple hits a breaking point (those in the videos). Their handling of the problems is highly questionable, because they chose design over good and lasting engineering and refuse to take the responsibility. Apple products are throw-away products nowadays. Yet they refuse to admit even that (they built even a recycling robot for their devices!).
But it's rarely a "it's going to fail". Normally it's "it'll make more effort for people down the line" or "we'll get more customers if we do X instead".
Is there a version of nethack that uses emojis yet?

The Tragic Case of Alfie Evans
Although I think the video has a point for some cases, I think you’re also right.

My selection bias, for example, is the opposite.

I had my iMac 27” repaired three times in 2013 for a SINGLE faulty pixel.
Under Apple Care (which was less than 10% the cost of the machine when I bought it), a technician was coming to my place with a new screen and replace it on the spot. Amazing service.
Unfortunately I kept on getting a screen replacement with faulty pixel (apparently not so rare in such a big screen, plus the replacement part was probably reconditioned) so the technician kept on coming from 200km away with a new part.
In the end it took three shots to get the replacement right. I’ve read how much each intervention cost to Apple in the repair bills he technician would leave to me as a receipt: 700$ each (560€). Never paid a dime. Make it times three and you’ll find out Apple spent almost as much as the cost of my iMac to get the repair right.

In 2016 my ex-gf the screen of my iPhone by dropping a mignon of vodka on it from the kitchen shelf. Screen was destroyed completely and I feared for the repairability of the phone itself.
I brought it the Apple Store in Berlin for a regular paid screen or phone replacement. The Genius stopped me as I was telling him what happened and inspected the phone: “do you see this half-moon thing inside the front camera? It’s an hardware problem and we have a replacement program for that. Your phone is eligible for free replcement”. 10 minutes after I walked out with a brand new (reconditioned) iPhone, as If I chose the full replacement, without forking out a single dime. I told about the replacement program to all my friend with an iPhone 6s or 6. I think at least three of them got a new phone out of an old one, no matter how used or fucked up their phone was. One of them had dropped it and the phone screen was barely holdin together as well.

Does this make me an Apple shill?
> but my default position is to assume the Windows partition is exploitable

In reality, as the article explains, the windows partition is basically invulnerable to this class of attacks if you take the 5 minutes to enable bitlocker. OTOH Linux systems have no effective defense.
Because most sales reps are untrained useless kids who are given a script to follow? Why are you asking a question with such an obvious answer?
Repairs are such a small dent in Apple finances that thinking they engineer their replacement programs for profit is simply silly. I have heard that point many times. They engineer them to maximize the process efficiency, and there’s always leeway. The real story here is this: Apple wants to control the product completely, and that includes getting rid of long terms loyal partners such Apple Authorized shops. They are all pretty disgruntled and disenchanted by the company for that. Zealots turned haters are usually the meanest haters.
Look at HN. Click through any interesting posts. Not too hard.

Back in the day (around 1995) I used to go to parties that Larry Harvey and Marion (who called herself Maid Marion at the time) used to also go to.

I was told that the original burning man was an effigy of Larry's ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend.

At the time you could even find this story online in a number of places. Mysteriously, it seems to have been purged from the web. But I still believe it to be true, based on who told me and when.
Given recent discussions of coroutines here on HN (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16947033) this paper might be interesting to some. It has a good overview of approaches to coroutines, relates them to continuations, and discusses some of the uses and issues that arise.

There is an extensive literature on continuations, and they've been more widely studied than coroutines, but they probably aren't presented in a way that is accessible without some background reading. This paper might be a good way to acquire that background.
Ask HN: Advice for an underperforming back end developer?
Hello, HN! I write this in despair, as I can't see a way through. I'm 31 and hail from a small Latin American country. I entered a CS major program in 2006, then switched to a Math major in 2009 until 2014. I began working full time as a UNIX/Linux sysadmin (was part-time sysadmin in college). I'm again in a CS program at another college.

However, I still don't have any degree, as I dropped courses whenever I entered in conflict with myself. I consider myself far slower in coding and problem solving than I can accept. Thus, I make very little progress in comparison to what I expect from myself and never get anything complex done.

I've been diagnosed with depression and Asperger's and attempted suicide in 2005. Several psychiatrists and psychologists have treated me, but there has been no progress in the treatments.

Jobs for backend developers (I'm not into frontend/mobile) in my country are scarce. I've applied without success to dozens of them for years. Thus, a startup around a developer-friendly PaaS kind of makes sense.

Nevertheless, whenever I try developing an interesting idea that might be profitable (e.g., a serverless compiler and runtime environment), a part of me thinks it's not worth it. That part of me points out that some Google team probably has a working implementation of a much better idea (backed by PhD research and good engineering) for internal use. That part of me also points out at the utterly hostile business environments out there, and how my half-baked idea won't sell when competing against much better battle-tested products and established development teams.

What advice can you provide? Thanks for your time.
Nethack is the game I've played more than any other.. having played it literally for decades and decades. Yet I switched to Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup about 5 or 6 years ago, and really haven't gone back except to try Nethack again every now and then only to feel it too painful and slow to continue playing.

I've been spoiled by Crawl's autoexplore, its richness of gods and god-granted powers, its colors (in text mode, not tiles), and many other new features and innovations. That said, Nethack is still the deeper game in so many ways. Crawl's "don't do it like Nethack" approach has prevented it from taking all sorts of great ideas from Nethack and making Crawl in to a richer game -- things like making more advanced use of pets (like training them to steal from shops), more things to do in shops, use of altars beyond merely converting to a god, use of potions beyond merely drinking them, more uses for item inscriptions, all the ways to combine items, the list goes on and on.

All this makes Crawl seem like the shallower game, though it's still plenty of fun, and I still play it to the exclusion of most any other roguelike for now. There's a lot of room for improvement, though. I just wish they'd take more of the best parts of Nethack and make Crawl even more fun.

I wouldn't dare to guess either way if I had to put money on it, but from what I have learned of US investor reports -- companies are legally obligated to list known and anticipated business risks in their filings.

Maybe not in those very words, but the concept comes up quite frequently in Money Stuff[0]. Recently I've seen a recurring theme around "everything is securities fraud". Which boils down to a very utilitarian and cynical core: if you are a company and do X but don't disclose to your investors that doing X may have an effect on the value of their investment, then the investors can sue you for securities fraud and try to claw back whatever future profits they feel they had been entitled to.

In fact, Home Depot had already leased that site for a new, modern store to go in immediately, but the City Council thought it should be reserved for "upscale" retail -- a ludicrous concept that, of course, never happened.
