If you still have a reference to that study, I'd be interested to have it, since all of my own cost comparisons have been done for employers, which means I haven't been able to release the details.

I'm also curious as to how Google came in 5 times cheaper than AWS. I knew intuitively (and through an occasional pricing spot-check) that GCP and Azure could be price competitive enough for certain workloads to be worth considering (assuming a spikey/elastic enough load that cloud makes sense in the first place), but I never saw that extreme a difference.

No.

It's bad enough that cheaters, after getting banned, will come to the game forums or reddit and make a ton of noise about getting banned "for no reason". All too often, you'll have a few people (though most of them probably on puppet accounts) that jump on the post and spread lies about Riot banning people for insignificant infractions, when the real cause was cheating.

Sounds like a way to mimic the success of over the counter medications like ibuprofen, whose prices have been slowly creeping up for years.

Many of the major profitable blood pressure and statins are off patent, so the drug companies need to make more money.

I’m sure this status will limit or eliminate insurance contributions, so now you’ll pay more for generic because 50 million individuals lack the buying power of CVS and the other PBMs.

Lack of surplus income to invest, and/or mid-career wipe-outs of any accumulated funds (divorce, illness, disability, natural disaster, lawsuit, legal defence, market crash) and that plan utterly fails.

Retirement isn't something to leave to chance. Social insurance applies the law of large numbers to eliminating much of that.

For the same reason that controllers have both "normal" and "inverted". It's all in your point of view. Are you controlling like a mouse (up on the joystick looks up) or like a joystick (forward on the joystick is like tilting your head forward, and looks down).

For me, I hate the "natural" scrolling, because I map scrolling motions to "up" and "down". Moving my fingers downward should do what I think of as "down", which is to see what's below my current screen. I have an XPS 15 with the touchscreen, and only when you're actually touching the screen does "down moves the document down (and goes up toward the top)" make sense.

>We don’t share the state of other players if it doesn’t need to be shared, so we can avoid common cheats like “map hacks” (revealing all players on the map).
>We let the server’s game simulation make the authoritative game decisions and generally don’t trust the information received from the client, which helps prevent common cheats like “god mode” and “disconnect hacks,” barring any overlooked exploits.
>Our network protocol has been obfuscated, and we change this obfuscation regularly so that making a network-level bot is much more difficult.

I hope they are proud of doing the obvious. That's like having a webpage and bragging about escaping strings that you insert into a SQL table...
In the end your metabolism will have its own way of digesting which may or may not be close to the very general glycemic load. Which is compounded by your metabolism reacting differently based on time of day, what you ate before, what after, whether you're sick or just in a different state.

With that out of the way, of course it depends which things you eat together. Potatoes are high on the index but if you combine them with cheese (mmmm cheese) it will slow down digestion and thus lower the glycemic load. Similarly, bread has a high load. But add peanut butter and you slow it down.

As a general rule: Yes, add fat to slow digestion. There may be methods to calculate the load of a compund meal but don't count too much on them. The glycemic index is an average of how people react to foods. It's already impractical to study all the meals in that fashion and still you wouldn't know how you individually reacted to them.

Edit: If you want to watch how your body reacts, you can get a set of Freestyle Libre sensors from Abott which allows you to monitor your blood glucose levels. They're not super accurate, but they easily allow you to track up/down movements which is enough to see how long it takes you to digest a meal.
I differ, OP is a foreign gun entering a company already in crisis. They will undoubtedly be paid much more than the local developers, and absolutely cannot be thought to work less than any of the team they hope to lead.

Things are certainly different if you are an established leader building your own team in a stable company.
Most anti-cheat methods stop working once the details are known. As someone else mentioned, there was a talk at GDC this year about one of their anti-cheat systems. The talk got into a lot of detail about how this particular system worked.

I'm only saying that after reading and reflecting on your follow-up comments, the thing that seems most likely to me is that your original comment was meant to offer general advice that I felt it was valuable to state a disagreement with. The follow-up comments don't provide evidence, discussion or any information that causes me to revise that belief. It seems more likely to me that you're retrofitting an explanation to your comment because you don't happen to like my line of disagreement with you or something like that. I am not even sure why it matters so much to you to repeatedly insist there was a different intended meaning to your comment. So what? In a LessWrong-style way, the meaning of your words is what gets induced in the mind of the reader, and not what you have in mind when you wrote them. It would be super easy for many other people to read your original comment the same why I did, and that alone makes the follow-up discussion about disagreeing with it a valuable thing, totally decoupled from what you meant or even what you personally believe. It's about how people will read and understand that particular comment, not about what you meant by it (although, I still think the most likely scenario is that you did mean something like a general rule to consult in a general corporate setting, and backtracked to qualify it later on).

> "You've taken more than enough of my time over this matter."

I don't necessarily agree, but I do agree that this meta-discussion about who meant what seems counter-productive. Extended discussion about why a rule of thumb that puts implicit pressure on people to not raise their complaints would actually be valuable, because it seems a lot of people don't think any further than the fact that they find complaints to be annoying, and support the idea of corporate mores rewarding "problem solvers" instead of "whiners."
Google Cloud is down
Google Cloud Platform is down
Self absorbed folks and VCs often ask this exact question, "why are you the only one with this idea?" which is short sighted and impossible to answer.

Either everyone else is stupid, or too lazy to come up with a plan to do it, or a myriad of other reasons. It doesn't matter why.

Like someone else pointed out the industry timing, state of technology and funding for that matter all drive these possibilities.

In the end only execution matters, and that comes with a long list of prerequisites aligning just right to even begin to form a possible positive outcome. It's luck and determination. The rest fail anywhere in-between, only to try again a decade or so later when the cycle repeats.

Welcome to the status quo. Don't like it?

Microsoft lost the console game. Linux won.
The comment was massively down voted when I saw it, so I have to assume the reason was because people interpreted the comment as I laid it out. Though now it is out of the light grey

Many times they still charge more for the prescription med still. Great example I just saw. We all know ibuprofen has been available as an OTC for a long time. Cheap to buy too, < $10 gets you a 100 cnt of 200mg pills at most pharmacies OTC in the US. But a physician can and will still prescribe 800mg Ibuprofen tablets to a patient. That prescription for say 40 tablets may cost the consumer $5-10 co-pay, but insurance has paid $35 or more. So the price per pill is drastically different, you can take 4 of the OTC pills and get the same affect.

The one difference in this example, the one 800mg pill is less harsh on the stomach than taking 4 of the 200mg pills. Which is the reasoning usually for this type of prescription, that and convenience for the patient.
Great write-up. I'm my job we spend a lot of time dealing with hackers and cheats for our mobile and PC games.

We tend to see similar exploits across all our games (memory hacking, fake IAPs, etc) which lets us build an armoury of anti-cheat tools.

What I find most interesting is where hackers don't focus their attention. It took almost 4 years for them realise the encryption key for our assets was easily accessible using the 'strings' tool in Linux - once they found it we had a busy few days stopping modders from impacting legitimate players.
Looks like a good start. Personally I need to see a salary range before applying for a remote job. With in-office jobs you at least have any idea of what the going rate for the area is, but for remote it is going to depend on a huge number of factors.

You might enjoy old school TradeWars 2002, which you play over TELNET nowadays.

This is a terrible, terrible decision. Knowing who's behind these groups is one of the only rays of sunshine that can be used to show a group's real motives. Not being able to tell where the money comes is going to make dark money have even more of an impact in our elections, and give the very wealthy even more control.
There are a lot of reasons, some of which are cultural. With the concept of failure being shameful, those people bury that experience and try completely different ones to find success they can feel comfortable with sharing.

Not all societies view a shortcoming or failure as a learning opportunity and stepping stone to success.

Ask HN: Good books on history of mathematics?
I am just finishing the book "The Lady Tasting Tea" and it created a good perspective on how the field of Statistics evolved over a period of time. I found it to be extremely important context to have. In fact, it was a much more informative read than various other books that try to dumb down the concepts of statistics to make them easier to understand.

Are there more books of similar nature about other branches of mathematics (e.g. linear algebra, calculus etc)?
Thanks, I will look it up.
Usually the intended benefit would be reproducible, deterministic (at least as close as possible) builds. This also makes your servers instantly destructible and replaceable, which means the underlying metal is fungible and can be changed very quickly.

Using the same Docker images in dev, you also get a production-like environment for testing, which is important. It's hard not to use something like Docker to solve that problem.

You could argue that scripted or declarative build systems are better for either or both of those. There's at least some debate about it.
I do not like your last sentence. The implication is that that those who do not like negative criticism are immature.

There are many times when adults have an emotional need for a pat on the back. I know I have that feeling sometimes.

Here's one I came across just the other day - https://youtu.be/UPS4nxI0b9g?t=826 . "But there's no one here to pat me on the back. It sucks."

I also think there are times when negative energy has negative value.

The same person, in the video at https://youtu.be/4nqJiBRNQuw?t=855 , after many frustrating attempts at trying to make a Kit-Kat from scratch, says "I want you to know that I can accept zero criticism right now." I respect her for recognizing that need and expressing it, and for her co-workers to acknowledge that need and support her.

You won't find any companies with competitive online games that turn a blind eye to cheating. If you consider a game with a cheater as being ruined for the other players, a very small number of cheaters can ruin games for a large portion of the players.

For a rough example of how the math works, let's say we have a game that is 5v5. If we have 100 players, 1 player cheating, and everyone plays once you end up with 9 players having their game ruined. That's 9% of players impacted by having 1% of the players cheating.
We got 446km.

We achieved something we are proud of. On 6th June 2018 we sent out packets over TTN. Our location was approximately 600m high in the Pennines around Sheffield at a location known as Barrow Stones (maybe the one seen in your article). To our surprise, a single packet was picked up at Delft, all the way over in the Netherlands. The gateway is in fact owned/run by the Delft University of Technology. This is a distance of 446km. Here is our proof this was achieved: https://ttnmapper.org/special.php?node=1279_b370&date=2018-0...

It definitely is. I had tons of fun cheating on RuneScape. There were (and maybe still are) more than 3 botting platforms with friendly APIs for writing scripts. Being a computer savvy kid I wrote my own scripts, tested them, ran them overnight... It took Jagex nearly a decade to ban me.
Or on facebook.
There are so many job boards out there now that it's way too saturated and every job board has something wrong with it (or a lot of things wrong with it). I just can't keep up with all of them and it takes some time (sometimes a lot of time) to learn and utilize them efficiently.

Good start but I think there's a huge space for something way more compelling.
>The game would probably be more vulnerable then, because now you have "cheat" scripts designed to work with the game.

That's possible. For example, World of Warships is a game where you fire big ship-mounted guns and must learn to take shell travel time and target relative velocity into account to hit moving targets. There used to be a cheat which did those calculations for you and showed you a reticle you could aim at instead. IIRC this cheat relied on code that existed within the game already and was just not used.
Yes. Mainframes still exist. IBM still sells them, and you can do things like hotswap CPUs and RAM or setup an geographically distributed HA cluster that can swap which mainframe the VMs or databases are "running" on without dropping connections, requests, or other interruptions.

"So testing in browser is as expensive as writing unit tests with TDD."
In a temperate woodlands environment (such as the eastern US), you will be able to get water by setting out a container and waiting for it to rain, which will likely happen before you die of dehydration. If that takes too long, then just wander around aimlessly for a bit and you'll find a stream that's at least intermittent if not permanent. You don't need a guide to find water because you can't get away from it.

The only reason to have a guide on how to find water is if a) you need a guide on how to find potable water (which this dismisses by saying "eh, you'll be filtering everything so any water is good enough" [1]), or b) you are in an arid or other similar environment where water is hard to find. In the later situation, endorheic basins are going to be substantially more common, and the problems with endorheic lakes as water sources are definitely worth mentioning.

[1] As others have noted, this isn't true. Water sources, particularly in endorheic basins, can be unacceptably concentrated in poisons such as agricultural runoff or arsenic, or too salty to drink.
Well this is gonna be a fun day at work…
There is the E3-1270v6 with 3.8GHz base Kaby Lake over at Vultr. Packet also seems to have nice offerings, but both are in these configurations supplied as bare-metal. It always depends on what you need.
You quoted a piece of my comment out of context and then said that "putting effort into something does not insulate you from criticism".

I never said that.

I said that the comments I read up to the point in time when I wrote my comment looked not exactly constructive or helpful.

I agree that later some people made up their minds and contributed helpful criticism.

That does not invalidate my point though.

Maybe we wouldn't have to deal with things like FB anymore if qualified people would use their time to come up with a solution instead of pointing out what does NOT work all the time.

There is a fine line to tread to make these changes whilst delivering. There was never a point were we stopped everything to make all these changes. The changes have to happen gradually, and they do take a long time, many months. It involves changing people, teaching them new habits and helping them do it. The habits have to be sustainable.

Limiting work in progress, forces the issue upstream. Managers are forced to realise how much of a precious resource the team is, and why they are struggling. Throwing more work at a struggling team makes it even worse.
(All of the following are macos only). I've used OmniOutliner, NoteBook (Circus Ponies, now defunct) and Growly Notes (www.growlybird.com). I've enjoyed using Growly Notes for many years, first as a free app and now as a nominal $4.99 on the App Store. It is closed source, but it's very versatile, flexible, and has a good scalable organization heirarchy (notebooks/sections/pages). It can import and export many different formats. It's also currently maintained and the support is good.
Some interesting talk about Peterson here. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16188789)

I think in general he has some fans here. And those that aren't fans have pretty rational critiques of his appeal, without just devolving into pure partisan bias.

Personally I liked his talks on Youtube from Harvard, but didn't enjoy his book. It was like he was trying to cash in with a "Chicken Soup for The Soul" knockoff. It's not terrible, but not worthy of a philosopher and too geared to the mass market.

I hike pretty often and unless it's extremely arid like in the desert, I'll usually just eat a bunch of fresh fruit and vegetables before setting off on a full day of hiking. It's far more pleasant to be unburdened by carrying things, and I'm more likely to mix in some trail running as well.

What I've found is I can pretty trivially go a full day without any food or water, even when doing physical activity. It's just important to not start out already dehydrated, and a last meal full of moisture with enough bulk to take some time to digest doesn't seem to hurt.
