It seems you have mostly played zelda games from the n64.
I have not tried BotW yet, but from what I have seen, it seems to be close from the the first zelda. A big world with no story, no pressure to complete the game quickly, no explicit path to follow. Just a world to explore.

I have played the first zelda, and OoT, MM, and WW. In all of them, what I have really liked was the pleasure to wander into the world, (mounting epona on hyrule field, get lost in the see while discovering new island).
In the contrary I have only played the first few hours of skyward sword, because every two minutes a NPC was telling me what I should do and what I should not, and where I should go . Awful!
So I am very happy Nintendo choose to go for less story and more discoveries.
Could you post a link to your review, I would be interested to read your position with more details.
Understanding Performance Regions
Nice! Will see if I can do something similar for Adliswil.
I have no experience with SF but if you are a software developer with a year or two of experience you can easily afford to live well here.

That said, you can probably move from here to a non-SF tech hub and get a 50-100% bump in your salary with only a 20% increase in cost of living.
>> That their offices don't seem to include any of the flashy bullshit populating the offices of most tech companies seems telling.

Nintendo basically funded Rare's offices before Microsoft bought them (when they were doing N64 games) and those were full of flashy bullshit

There wasn't much to the paper archiving. I bought a fancy scanner[0] and already had a shredder.

To store the files on disk I keep directories marked by topic/year/month/day. The topics are stuff like taxes, finances, bills, etc. The important documents are in a couple encrypted HDDs that I use for backups. I've been thinking of doing an offsite storage like Backblaze B2 but it's probably overkill.

After scanning stuff in, everything gets shredded. There usually aren't many things to save but once they've been scanned they're there forever.

As someone who has multiple issued patents from large companies.. It's a pretty complex issue. I personally think software patents should be outlawed, as I don't know a better solution.

On the one hand, I have several patents for project(s) that took years to develop. The processes are unique, very difficult to replicate, and should be offered some protection (if we agree that motor designs should be protected). The companies I have worked for would defend the IP and would constitute these as "offensive" patents, because they would use it to actively stop upstarts.

On the other hand, I also have worked with lawyers to just patent ideas I had off hand. These are "defensive" patents, and go into the patent arsenal, containing hundreds to thousands of patents, to be used if someone decides to sue. These are just "ideas" and often will only have the most basic design(s) and testing (if at all).

Unfortunately, it's impossible to tell the difference, and more over - I don't think it's fair (personally) to patent something that doesn't exist in reality yet.

What's even more frightening to me personally, is that I am morally opposed to patenting... However, when someone offers me $1k, $3k, $5k, etc. to work with them to file a patent I'm incentivized to file. I have to be pragmatic for my family.

For reference, I'm on or currently working through filing close to 150 patents.

For each one, I donate a portion to the EFF; for what it's worth...
I completely disagree.

Unless your data requirements are very specific, mem only, or not adapted to the relational paradigm any SQL engine will provide you with the best and more efficient algorithms to manipulate your data in the most common situations.

I think that if any, databases should be used more.

It was a scientific dumpster fire as well. What was the control group exactly?

Ugh, I don't get how someone can write that about themselves without curling up from the cringe.

Is his point that he disagrees with Uncle Bob (god I hate that nickname) about some political issue so we should stop trying to write clean, maintainable, testable code?

How are these two things even related. Or was the point of the blog just virtue signalling about immigration, loosely and nonsenically tied to coding?

That entire blog post seems to be something that doesn't need to exist.

> - Make it illegal to bribe politicians.

It already is. If you want to bring about change you should be more exact with your complaint, otherwise people won't take you seriously.

Lobbying should be banned,fair campaign laws should be reinstated.

But overall I fell like we're not even talking about the root cause. We need to ask hard questions,like if the US should remain in it's current form. Fake unity is killing the country,if divisions can't be resolved politically then you'll have violent conflicts ,only way to avoid it is to cement these divisions and peacefully split up. All the big problems need national unity to resolve :(
I'm curious how it affects performance in wheel mode.

I can believe that. But I tend to not measure things by the California/Valley standard. Things there are just too exceptional and GR so small in comparison.
That would cause issues when deploying new versions. Even if the CDN or Varnish serves an updated etag, the browsers could potentially keep using an older version from its cache. Not what you want when you just fixed important bugs. This has happened to me, even without aggressive caching.

I suspect that even if you told the browser to revalidate on each request, you would end up in situations where the browser ignores it or is overruled by a corporate proxy.

With a md5 in the URL, the browser would be forced to make a new request.
I think you may be correct about the NYT and FB.

I personally assume that all news outlets are biased one way or another. And I do not believe there's a news outlet anywhere which is totally fair, unbiased and objective.

It seems reasonable to guess that the NYT's leadership believes FB is extremely influential in US politics and that it is imperative that FB avoid facilitating another 2016-style presidential campaign. In addition, most of the NYT's readership almost certainly believes that FB helped unfairly swing the election to Trump through illegal Russian funded ads and so forth, and it's good for business for a paper to cater to that readership.
Point taken, but earlier in the thread, the discussion was about Facebook, which doesn't function like a neutral road at all.
I do wonder why the Valley has such an aversion to defense contracts then if other non-defense related “necessary” technologies cause guaranteed collateral damage.

Is it because these technologies such as self-driving cars will only kill people accidentally?

I love when popular services are written in Java, PHP, or even something crazier like ColdFusion. Just to spite the naysayers.
That would actually be pretty useful on some farm vehicles. No need to pick a wheeled or tracked tractor, you can have both.

The comment is nearly devoid of anything useful to diagnose with. Mentioning Chrome is a start.

The possible conclusion: "clickbait" is completely unreasonable and unjustified.
I'm hardly an expert, but I believe caterpillar treads have been in regular use for over a century and still take loads of maintenance compared to wheels. However effective it may ultimately be, it seems unlikely that this team will solve that particular problem.
They definitely are missing an application that probably won't be coming until specialized chip designs are a commodity (eg agi+). Right now you can get specialized chips for much less than the cost of the programmable chip + custom design. Once a company identifies a kick-ass fpga design (and it has any decent market) they move to asic to drive down costs. I guess if fpga costs were as low as an asic it would be viable as you could change the application depending on current needs. But currently fpga chips are 10-100x the cost of asics.
And how often do humvees get stuck anyway? I like the product, but it’s obviously wasteful. During the Iraq insurgency what was wanted was armor plating. Literally just 1/4” slabs of steel.

This is of a piece with the F-35.
Fellow Aussie
Again, what you’re describing is counterfactual thinking. It doesn’t stop being counterfactual just because you considered lots of stuff.

And if you want to make the extraordinary claim of “Imagining the whole space of the alternatives” you should provide some evidence of such. Because right now, most experts who have attempted that have come to the conclusion that Operation Iraqi Freedom was a mistake: not merely one of bad planning or execution, but rather it never should have been attempted to begin with. This includes some of its biggest architects and boosters.

My naive take on this is that it makes biologically sense to keep net expected electrical impulses approximately the same before and after strengthening. At the end of the day the brain has energy constraints.

This can-be/is done functionally in ANNs but achieves a different end (avoids over-fitting) but doesn't reducing energy(compute) expenditure in dense ANNs since activation and non-activation is computed in expectation and take the same number of cycles in dense networks.

I'd love to see more work on massive sparse networks, where you actually get compute efficiency if you can reduce number of activation without reducing hurting your optimization target.

> I'm not OP, but I suspect they meant that Python and some libraries would have solved your problem in a few days of work.

I wrote software professionally for 30 years. I have a good understanding of the work required to implement a business requirement! I cant really see myself spending 10 years on a one-week task :-)

PS. I didn't downvote you.
Google and Netflix can do this, because ISPs have to let them host there to avoid massive burden on their network. An individual who wants to host their own videos cannot. So, as Sir_Cmpwn indicates, some sort of torrent-esque system is needed to let individual users have some sort of option that avoids crazy bandwidth costs.
> Capacity for LSD

It's probably safe to say that the average consumer can't be bothered with anything that isn't LSD. The fact that another option even still exists hurts the overall branding, if you will, of the product category.

> That is lower under extremely light loads than the best alkalines, but crosses over at a bit over 12 hours constant runtime since load has a relatively small effect on NiMH capacity, but a huge effect on alkaline capacity.

Then we've reached parity, assuming identical size and at least close-enough weight. Is size identical (or smaller for NiMH)? Last I handled some, weight seemed comparable.

Now that we have, take a look at when that happened. More importantly, take a look at when that happened at an affordable price point. Compare that to when NiMH first started gaining popularity and what the (price-competitive) capacities (and self-discharge rates) were then, keeping in mind that's what formed consumer perception.

Total elapsed time of product existence may not be the best metric for perception change, but it'll at least give you a starting point.

> Alkalines can leak corrosive electrolyte and destroy devices. This is a fairly well-known issue, but it doesn't seem like "always use rechargeable batteries so you don't ruin your stuff" is a widespread meme among the average consumer. I wonder why that is.

I can think of two reasons. The first is that a "fairly well-known issue" isn't a well enough known issue. Suppression of bad press (or word-of-mouth) is likely the impetus behind large battery brands replacing even fairly expensive ruined electronics when customers complain to them.

Secondly, the relative frequency of the two is vastly different. One ruined flashlight (or even Garmin or whatever) every few years (though I think it's really more like decade-plus) sticks in the memory much less distinctly than having ones TV remote stop working every week or having that same flashlight never work (because one only uses it occasionally, maybe not even monthly).

There's no mystery here.
You aren't paying taxes to other states, you're paying taxes to your own state. It's now just now a requirement that out-of-state businesses collect and remit that sales tax on your behalf like in-state business already do.

150 patents?! Dear god, you are part of the problem. You clearly know it’s wrong but you do it anyway.
"The SNES was inarguably (though not at the time, Blast Processing and all) superior in graphics, audio, and control compared to other popular consoles at the time (that being Sega Genesis of course)."

It was better suited to the kinds of things liked by the mainstream audience, but it wasn't inarguably better. The Genesis had higher resolution graphics for most of its games, a sound chip that didn't sound muffled all the time because of severely limited sample memory, and a faster CPU meaning less slowdown and loading delays (cartridge systems still had loading delays, because when storage space costs that much you compress things as much as possible, and decompress into ram at runtime). The SNES has nothing like the games by Treasure for the Genesis.
Parse server instances (back4app, sashido.io) do it from scratch
Some industrial laundries do this, but I have heard this over and over again to describe residential HE laundry machines but never actually seen one with a way to measure this. The usual method is to tumble the clothes until the water level in the tub stops dropping. Now they're saturated with water.

What you are probably getting when you start your washer is an estimate considering the steps of the cycle and loaded to capacity. Some machines have turbidity sensors - mine doesn't - this could deliver information that might shorten the cycle. Also the time may go up if it has to deal with suds or stops spinning to rearrange the load if it shakes.
I don't think people primarily choose Docker because it's more efficient(?) to deploy than a real server. The benefits of Docker, to me, are having a single artifact and reproducible builds where a developer can run the docker image locally, it then gets built once on Jenkins, and the same image is deployed to staging, production, etc. It eliminates an entire class of problems related to the operating system, installed dependencies, what language the application was written in, etc. That being said, those are also benefits when deploying, because everything is homogeneous at the deployment layer.

As far as constantly rebuilding and deploying things, we would be doing that anyway. We do dozens of deploys a day to push new code, that means building new images every time, if one of those deploys picks up a security fix that was recently merged upstream, great.
ksonnet isn't a Helm replacement and in the next release of ksonnet, we'll support Helm packages.
> I'm sure that without Zelda on the title, it would have been judged more objectively, for was it is: an average game to say the least.

Without the Zelda title, it would have been treated the same as every good Zelda-like game: as evidence that Nintendo needs to revitalize the Zelda series. Instead it was a Zelda title, and so was the revitalizing that the series definitely needed. The fact that it was an outstanding game on top of that was just icing on the cake.
Interview Brain Dump
I responded with facts, that showed your numbers are not based in reality. I don't dispute that they are human beings...
It's definitely much faster. I'll try everything new I get my hands into with diabetes and my treatment at the time was not that great, so it was pretty easy choice. First I did Fiasp when still with MDI and it's not that great to be honest. Even half a unit can be too much and it's very hard to dose if you don't use a proper bolus calculator.

Of course using it in pump is a different story, especially if you have a CGM with the pump. Right now I'm using the SMB algorithm in AAPS, that can help with unannounced meals by giving small boluses if it thinks you ate something. The same mechanism pretty much evens out my dawn phenomenon.

One thing you should know before trying Fiasp is the molecule size is much larger and might cause stinging feeling when the pump gives you dosage. Try to get a pump that goes slow with the dosing, otherwise the first couple of months might be a bit unpleasant. You'll get used to it though and I don't really notice it anymore.
But who sells it to the data brokers?

I would think this will need way more maintenance than a regular wheel/tyre combination even if only used in the ‘round’ configuration.

I also worry about what a hand grenade or small IED will do to this contraption, compared to what it will do to a conventional tyre. Even if it is as strong, it likely still will increase mean time between repairs, as, when one breaks down, it’s more likely that one will have a regular tyre at hand than that one has one of these.
I think there's an Adobe After Effects plugin. Granted the people who are set up for heavy video editing are probably a very small percentage of HN readers :) There's probably more HN readers who would take is as a challenge to do an unsupervised convolutional neural net :D and come back with a research paper. I myself don't use Adobe After Effects.
I am definitely suffering from smush hype delirium, I won't even try to deny it. And I think your skepticism is well placed. I would be surprised (pleasantly) to see Nintendo offering anything close to Riot, Valve, Blizzard levels of support within this decade. Still it feels like they've gone from actively hostile toward the competitive scene in Brawl, to throwing us a few bones in Sm4sh (omega modes, new run of Gamecube controllers, albeit slightly funky ones) to finally at least considering the pro scene as first class citizens in Smush.

That being said I don't really say a way that it could kill Melee either... although I bet melee players are going to buy a lot of controllers. The only thing I could imagine killing Melee is maybe if Smush had a Melee compatibility mode that implemented its mechanics exactly faithful to the original, but I don't see them doing that, and even then people probably still wouldn't leave Melee.

Right now I’d be thrilled with doing just as well as humans without fudging the numbers. We’re orders of magnitude away from that, so frankly this is all a non-issue. We’re far from demonstrating reliability because they’re far from reliable. Maybe someday they will be, maybe not, but for now we’re playing a dangerous game in the name of a dubious utopia. The most likely outcome is a winter.

Edit: I don’t mind the downvotes, but I wish they came with a rebuttal rather than radio silence.
Agreed. We (engineering department in a medium scale scientific facility) use 3D printing for rapid prototyping and as temporary solutions.

Quite often, people walk into my office and need data acquisition /measurement / control solutions for completely random problems. Quite often, that requires me to build solutions to mount sensors/actuators to random equipment, or I want to pack everything into a neat box. For this, 3D printing is ideal (we have a Stratasys printer). The inhouse metal workshop is too slow (and requires more sophisticatated drwings), 3D printing can deliver within hours.. and I can iteratively change things. I don't use sophisticated tools, software like Google Sketchup is trivial to use.

Still. 3D printed solutions are rarely permanent. The durability is limited and cleanliness is an issue (the surface quality is bad, and I'm worried about outgassing).
So in the end, I end up replacing most parts with aluminium & steel. I have thought about "3D printed metal" (shapeways etc) as a second step, but haven't tried that yet.

I lived in a rust belt city in for many years, and in recent years have been witnessing a slew of "rust-belt renaissance" articles pop up every now and then about how things are turning around in deindustrialized cities (Pittsburgh is often cited as a shining example of a city that has seen a turnaround).

These articles typically state something along the lines of the low COL (cost-of-living) luring young people back from coastal cities. Some even overstate their case quite a bit by projecting they'll be the next Silicon Valley or startup hub. I wonder how folks here feel about such articles?

I can't help but notice there's some element of boosterism that misses a something fundamental. To be sure, it makes people who live in rust belt cities feel better about themselves (I was one of those people), but it doesn't seem to really move the needle in attracting the very ambitious to these places. In my observation, the truly ambitious are insensitive to cost-of-living arguments.

Paul Graham wrote an article entitled "Cities and Ambition" [1] which speaks to this. It tracks with my observation that people at the top of their games tend to cluster, and are willing to suffer discomfort to live among their peers.

Some quotes:

"How much does it matter what message a city sends? Empirically, the answer seems to be: a lot. You might think that if you had enough strength of mind to do great things, you'd be able to transcend your environment. Where you live should make at most a couple percent difference. But if you look at the historical evidence, it seems to matter more than that. Most people who did great things were clumped together in a few places where that sort of thing was done at the time."

"No matter how determined you are, it's hard not to be influenced by the people around you. It's not so much that you do whatever a city expects of you, but that you get discouraged when no one around you cares about the same things you do."
