Hey, I was a crawl dev from 2009 until whenever I pushed my last commit. Your reaction suggests that you're either unfamiliar with or misunderstand crawl's development philosophy.

Crawl development strives to eliminate grinding and eliminate tedium. Players should never be rewarded for performing repetitive actions. Every choice should be meaningful. This has been the case since the game's revival in 2006 and goes back to the introduction of the food clock in Rogue. A few years back I asked Ken Arnold about the food clock. He introduced it because a timer is a great way of making stupid, time consuming strategies useless. Crawl follows in this tradition.

We removed the requirement that you have a bladed weapon to butcher corpses. Why? Because it's a game and not a murder-hobo simulator. If you need a fix for mindless simulationism you might enjoy Dwarf Fortress, the premier dwarf terrarium.
Its an experimental playground. I think you may be overreacting slightly.
AudioWorklet is part of the proposed W3C Web Audio API standard.

I totally understand that this museum is interested only in works by a particular artist, and so fakes are unwanted even if they are good art. My point is you seemed to be making a distinction between the idea of a "gallery" and "museum", implying that galleries are interested as art-as-art and museums with art-as-historical artifact.

>I can't be the only person who actually writes letters to people using email and not expecting anything to end up on their "todo list".

Many like you definitely exist but your "pure 100% communications only" usage isn't what the Gmail enhancements (that many dislike) were trying to solve.

The blog author, Avi Ashkenazi, wrote:

>From a business perspective I understand that there are more people using Gmail than Calendar, Keep or the new Tasks, but the way Google has attempted to bring people into the fold and have them use add-ons and the rest of their products is just crazy.

There is overlap between the non-communication features that Avi Ashkenazi mentioned and what Paul Graham is talking about. PG recommends creating a new and different protocol. Avi Ashkenazi is saying don't try to shoehorn things like "tasks" into the Gmail UI/UX because it makes it complicated. Google/Alphabet apparently is working from a different philosophical base: many people use Gmail as the central dashboard so let's put everything there.
What does that comment add? Someone hacked something off a relatively fresh API and done something cool with it, the hint is in the name, hacker news.
I'm with you 100%. I've had 7 failed startups (well, not failed but didn't make me enough to buy a jet).

It's easy to know when to get out when you're making nothing. It's easy to stay with it when you're growing.

The hardest part is when your stagnant.

If you no longer believe in the product/service GET THE FUCK OUT.

OP doesn't believe so he needs to shut it down or turn it over to someone else IMO.

I'm on startup #8 right now and it's slow going but turning a nice profit. I only bootstrap shit now (well since startup #4) so I'm not worrying about money or investors.

Seems they make no use of the JVM... Which would be required to vend it, no?
The book is more about explaining how things work and showing how they're implemented in a simple way. With this premise I think Java is a fair choice because almost everyone knows it. If you're writing a book where you're showing every single line of code of the implementation not having to explain the programming language used is a huge benefit.

Regarding type checking, I believe it wouldn't be too hard to add it to the language itself, but it would increase the page count of an already long book.

All things considered I think the book does a good job of explaining the concepts in a very accessible way without handwaving any detail.
Would be a cool addition to let users upload an mp3 and then act on it with the AudioWorklet to do stuff like bit crushing.
> LuaJIT with the JIT enabled is much faster than all of the other languages benchmarked

I'm wondering if somebody knows about a good benchmark showing this? The ones I found in a cursory google search all seemed to show that for example node.js on V8 outperforms or matches the speed of LuaJIT.

EDIT: Seems like they only compared to python and ruby which explains why LuaJIT was always the fastest interpreter in their benchmark: http://wren.io/performance.html

>It's already weird that Nature has DeepMind papers.

Nature (the multidisciplinary journal) is a special case.

If you get article published in Nature you are not killing the knowledge propagation, you are enhancing it to the scientific community at large. It has maintained so much prestige that getting published there is type of signaling that still has value.

The old way of scientific publishing is going to shrink to almost nothing, but there is room for a handful of high-impact, high prestige publications like Nature to keep going. They would work like compendiums of best research in science.
The same for me. I even rewrote the questions as answers and didn't even get an acknowledgement.

I made a similar tool and believe that if the author is interested in this route he may prefer the Jaro-Winkler algorithm as it is more highly tailored to names.

Likely he rolled his own solution for the same reason that I did, he is targeting a specific type of names (file names for him) which comes with its own subset of rules that can be incorporated for better matching.

Isn't it the case that much of our emissions are absorbed already (e.g. by oceans, about a third of human activity) such that the 2.5% is a lot higher on the net amount.

e.g. say we emit 100 and absorb 95, absorbing 2.5% of our total emissions actually cuts net emissions in half. Or are you already figuring that in?

Note: the top rated post has focused on editorial quality and glossed over the fact that it is narrow band light and cannot be compared as equivalently in wide spectrum terms beyond perception (e.g colour temperature), this is pointed out in the 2nd immediate child by sandworm101.

I should point out that the properties of the light beyond perception _are_ important due to ipRGCs: the mammalian retina contains ipRGC photo-receptors that do not relay images to the brain but are responsible for various reflexive responses. These receptors are sensitive to a wide spectrum of light peeking around blue [1]. Ultimately these ipRGCs release melanopsin which is known to affect circadian rhythm, and is thought to control sleep wake patterns [2].

I expect you've heard about this vaugley before as I have, but what is interesting in the context of LEDs is that ipRGCs appear to respond to more of a continuum of spectrum, so unlike our cones they would be "perceiving" LED light quite differently to our consciously perceived images.

Fun Fact: the original Deus Ex, which takes place in the 2050s, has an Easter Egg. If you hack into a certain computer in the game, there is an email with NetHack release notes (version in the double digits, it being the year 2050).

Being 13 at the time, that was my first time hearing about NetHack, and I decided to try it eventually.
> Contractors suck and their code sucks unless supervised

I have worked both as an contractor and as FTE for product/service companies (and startups), and I'm a bit tired with fighting with this prejudice.

The core business of software houses is ... making software, and making it such way that a client is happy with the outcome, pays for what he really need and returns with more projects.

Startups / product companies focus on various business domains and software is a byproduct of their operation. Byproduct that is often driven by chaotic business decisions. Good software houses enforce specification on clients (real specification, not wishes) to make sure they know what they want or need. Good software houses implement and follow correct software development process that enables success of a project (not pseudo Scrum with slapped Kanban sticker on it).

I could can add the many FTEs are stuck for years with deprecated technologies, they don't have practical overview and hand-on experience with new technologies and paid, off the shelf solution. Large part of startups literally burned resources on reinventing wheels, because FTEs where convinced that they can do something better than using a ready solution, or they had no idea that such solution existed.

Software houses are familiar with dozens of technologies because they create and maintain dozens of different, large and small projects from various domains.

Bitcoin Cash Next Hard Fork: Good or Bad?
I'd say discipline is just one factor. Another one is that many of us do poor thinking. When a task isn't well defined we tend to not do it. "Buy milk" is clear, "implement backup script with rsync" is not. It may sound somewhat concrete but you have to ask yourself a bunch of question in order to have some clarity as to what that actually means. Often we then feel overwhelmed and procrastinate I'd say.

>an idea which resulted in the death of hundreds of millions of people. //

The idea of communism is "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need" - communities of people working together for the good of the community as a whole.

The idea lies behind things like hackerspaces, a lot of FOSS, cooperatives, and such.

The idea was never tested on a wider scale; dictators and human greed stopped it.

That might mean that communism is impractical on a large scale because people can't be trusted not to ruin it with greed. But your claim that the idea killed millions seems patently false.
Regardless of ironic detachment, or having the opposite of what a baby-faced, overpaid, wannabe white nerd, who's also possibly a — let's dispense with gender neutrality — con man — is supposed to have as political background, everyone still flocks to the services and products provided by such Silicon Valley Mammon-Moloch hybrids.

Piran/Portorož in Slovenia. It's certainly not a typical town but rather a tourist town.

A bit like Venice, which has 20 million tourists a year for a population of 200k. Portorož probably isn't far off from this population to tourist ratio, but with a population that's 100x smaller.

That having been said, it's true that Europe has many walkable cities and they don't even have to be small villages.

> N64

The biggest problem with the N64 vs other consoles of its generation was the lack of a CD-ROM. But carts were specifically picked because Nintendo, at the time, thought they were better for consumers (eg less time spent on loading screens).

> VirtualBoy

This was originally planned as a virtual reality handheld device but as the project progressed different safety concerns were raised (eg what might happen to kids wearing the device in the car during a car crash). This is what lead to the device being crippled to the extent it was.

I have about 10 years working in the tech side of large B2B events, so comments are based on that.

It’s fine to start a business in an industry you’re not crazy about but most people who make a success this way know there’s a ready and waiting market to earn money in with an existing product. People need plumbers and roofs need tiling.

Most “start-ups” should be founded on the principle of “We’ve identified a problem and we’re the best people to provide the solution” and even then most of them fail. Even pivots are based on that principle (“what we built didn’t solve a problem but we identified another problem we can solve”).

It sounds like you’re gone the route of “I’ve identified a market that I want to provide a solution for.” The events industry is big, which means there are a lot of people thinking the same. During my time I integrated our system with several companies that no longer exist. Many of these products didn’t solve actual attendee or organiser problems or desires and so uptake or return was very low.

Attendee needs are fairly simple and limited (easy to buy tickets, get information about what’s on, and easy conference experience) and they rarely want anything more (e.g. only a tiny fraction or marketing types actually want networking apps).

Conference organiser needs are many and they want to use as few suppliers as possible as each additional supplier means extra work on integration. So most of the businesses doing well in the event space are companies that can provide a large, near holistic product for them which covers a lot of needs. So to complete against them you’ll need a lot more resources than it sounds like you do.

Reading between the lines it sounds like you already know what you need to do. If you’ve lost the drive and conviction that this will be a success then and unless you can find a real problem you can build and sell a solution for quickly and easily, then it’s probably time to call it a day. Try again in a bit and if possible without the pressure of money from family and friends.
Now you presume you know the "truth", not that is a personal opinion of yours. That you are the only one in the crowd with the wisdom to see things as they are. That's why you are downvoted, not because your opinion is unpopular.

If you presented your opinion as just a subjective opinion, not the revealing of truth to illuminate the ignorant, your opinion would be treated fairly I'm sure.

BTW, I believe that there are a lot of people who are not impressed at all by Nintendo products. You are not that special.
This is pretty sweet. It'd be cool to have more examples though like square wave, triangle wave, etc. and maybe some simple effects like tremolo.

For some reason the press article cut the image and put the two uninteresting isomers in the image labeled "In unusual situations carbon can form more than four bonds". The research article has also the interesting one.

It's an interesting result, they proved (in simulations) that the isolated molecule is stable. But it look like it will ret with whatever molecule is nearby, so I don't expect many applications.
The difference is was the law immoral and now we are fixing that error, or did the law have good intent but now the politicians think that there is a better way to reach the solution. For example, if alcohol was taxed at 30% but someone only paid 20% tax, they would be jailed. If the tax got changed to 20% the person shouldn't be released because they broke a moral law. In your example of gay men being jailed, that law is immoral and therefore those people should be release after removing the law.

I don't think that jailing people who were consuming illegal drugs is an immoral law. Sure, the law may not be so good and should be changed. But, people who break moral laws are not good for our society.

Images are inherently visual, and they seem to have more irreducible complexity than music. Music has a lot of structure and repetition that seems like it could benefit from abstraction (as Chris Ford demonstrates with some Bach in this entertaining talk[1]).

On the other hand, there are vector graphics editors that let you work in terms of shapes and paths instead of pixels. Would you say you are trying to build the musical equivalent of that?
