In the case of a library, I would tend to suspect one of these scenarios:

- The first and third book are currently checked out.

- The library acquired all four books, but the first and third have been destroyed / lost / stolen by customers.

- The library didn't acquire any of the books, but the second and fourth were donated and the library chose to absorb them rather than selling or destroying them.

None of those are even conceptually applicable to NetFlix. I definitely would not expect

- The library has a limited budget, and considered that it would be better spent buying the second book than the first book.

Note that NetFlix's inventory of physical discs doesn't suffer from the same problems that its streaming inventory does. That is (most likely) because it's trivial to obtain the legal right to distribute the physical discs -- you just buy them on the open market, the same way a library does with its books. NetFlix's streaming inventory isn't "curated", it's not under NetFlix's control at all.
I'm merely saying that they could have avoided some of the issues if they designed a new game from scratch.
Recently (last week or so), there has been a hacker in PUBG who is using a flying car. I had never seen this cheat before, EXCEPT in "LiveOverflow" 's YouTube videos of pwnadventure!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzM4o6qxssk

In this series he managed to get his player to be able to fly.

I can't help but wonder if whoever that hacker is that developed the recent PUBG cheat, got his inspiration from pwnadventure and this series :)
I agree with you. Zed Shaw wrote an essay a few months ago on this topic, at https://zedshaw.com/2018/03/25/the-billionaires-vs-brandonm/ .

> In 2007 what ... wrote is actually valid given the environment. It was a total long shot that Dropbox would go anywhere, and hell it took a whole 11 fucking years for them to IPO. Box did it in 2014 and competes rather well compared to Dropbox. But let’s break down his comments from a 2007 perspective:

I agree with Shaw's analysis as well.
There’s already tons of people on Medicare and Medicaid in red states and there hasn’t been an armed insurrection.

I think that working class people in these regions wouldn’t be adverse to Medicare being expanded to include them. I’m sure the Republican Party base of upper middle income and wealthy whites would be, but again, not so much everyone else there. It’s a matter of how and what constituencies you recruit and activate.
The first point is actually something that game developers have failed to do in many cases. For example if they want client syncing to require transferring very little data, they may only send player inputs across the wire, meaning that each client needs to know everything, even if the final decision about game state is made by a server.

I would argue that the fact that they're in the same repo does not make it a monolith at all. All of google and facebook is in a single repo and built at the same time, but it doesn't make them monoliths.
You haven't been paying attention to harsh critics of government regulation apparently. Lots of them say exactly that, and they overlap with the "taxes are theft" loonies.
100% agree. I'd love to see this in the US. most pharmacists have way more knowledge about drugs, their interactions and other issues that can crop up with prescription drugs. Given a diagnosis they are typically better at prescribing the correct medication than a general practitioner. It's also a lot cheaper than a doctors visit for insurance.
> UEFI is supposed to replace BIOS, but that spec is a mess, and nobody gets it right.

The culprit isn't UEFI, it's ACPI. That mess predates UEFI. Most operating systems don't really try to use UEFI features beyond the ability to manipulate the bootloader settings, and that feature is almost always correctly implemented. But it's impossible to find a consumer system with bug-free ACPI tables.
I don't know how to calculate it. But I do know that the combination matters. Try this experiment. Eat a bagel plain for breakfast. Wait as long as you can for lunch. Note when you start feeling like you are starving and your hands get shaky (blood sugar crash). Next day eat the bagel with peanut butter. Note how you feel after the same amount of time. I predict the blood sugar crash will later, or won't happen at all.

I have found that the secret to sustaining a vegan diet is beans (resistant starch). They release sugar into your blood over many hours, blunting the blood sugar roller coaster that would otherwise be caused by eating a lot of fruits and vegetables without a lot of meats and fat.

I have done a version of the above proposed experiment with a foot long Subway sandwich, veggies only (no meat, no cheese, no mayo). I feel like I am starving in 3 hours. Add hummus, I feel fine for 6 hours. I know it adds some calories, but I'm convinced it is more about the resistant starch. According to this video https://nutritionfacts.org/video/beans-and-the-second-meal-e... eating beans in one meal even reduces the blood sugar spike in later meals!

Another interesting thing. There is a Ted Talk about how glycemic response varies by individual due to different makeup of gut bacteria. I think it is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z03xkwFbw4. The guy claims he can analyze your gut bacteria and tell you which foods will spike your blood sugar. Subway might be bad for me but fine for you!

I've just finished leading a company in SE Asia, so assuming you're somewhere near there, this is what I'd say from my experience:

- don't worry about the usual western alpha-coder crap or any defiance. You'll be respected because the boss says so. They won't give you any of the shit that a western dev team would do while they work out the pecking order - the hierarchy is the pecking order. BUT... no-one will tell you the truth, they will always tell you what they think you want to hear. Only ask open questions (if they can say yes they will), don't ask for opinions (you'll get whatever they think you want to hear). If you tell them to do something stupid, they will never tell you they think it's stupid. They might not go and do it, and hope you don't notice, or if you do notice that you will realise that what you told them to do was stupid and you're not going to lose face by mentioning it.

- Authority and hierarchy are massively more important and more rigid than in the west. I can't overstate this enough.

- you will constantly run into communication problems. They won't tell you when they don't understand you, but will nod and say yes boss and then go do their best to guess what they think you said. Ask if they understand often, and do that by the patronising-sounding "what did I just say?" or "what did I just tell you to do?". It's difficult, because we only do this with children in western culture, but it's necessary.

- Use email and written comms waaaay more than you would with a western team. It's easier for them to understand written english, and they can take their time over puzzling it out. And you have a audit trail of what you said (yes, they'll happily do the "you told me to do this" if they think they can get away with it).

- You will get automatic respect for being western (assuming you're white that is - racism is real here). So I wouldn't worry so much about demonstrating that the practices you want to introduce have actual value. That will be taken for granted because they're western practices. Instead make sure they're understood. That will be hard.

- If your boss is not western, they will expect total and complete obedience to their authority. Don't ever question them, contradict them, suggest alternative ideas, or tell them what they just told you won't work, at least in public and probably in private too. You will have to learn how to allow your boss to keep face while getting the right result.

- listen a lot more than you think you will have to. If something's not working, there's probably a cultural reason for the fail that you're not seeing. Listen harder and you'll discover it. Often it's easier to let them do things their way even if it's slower and less efficient, because trying to get them to do things the western way is too alien to their way of thinking. It's surprising how often this is the case.

that'll do... you'll learn the rest as you go. Good luck :)

Well.. steel or any metal in the ground will distort the field. I don't know if it would point to the stairs but it would definitely show you the least occluded path.
You are going to a war-time scenario (desperate crunch mode to ship a product), don’t start to establish peace-time practices like code quality at the same time.

First, make sure that the situation is a war-time scenario: hard deadline (they rarely are) and shipping something (that enables sales, financing round or collecting customer feedback) is more important than shipping the right product.

In the war-time scenario focus is the key: reduce scope and ship only the bare minimum. This is as much managing up as managing down.

Get to know the team quickly, understand each members strengths and weaknesses. You likely need them all to succeed.

Daily task management and follow-up is essential. In the war-time you lead by asking questions and making orders. Prefer former, do latter when needed. Many (but not all) people like structure when under stress, so set it up if it doesn’t exist, but don’t let it restrict them to perform. Get people excited about shipping: even if you know the product is not great when the team will ship it, try to have a few shining parts there that everyone can be proud of, even if there are tons of ugly parts.
Agreed. Definitely not trying to say encryption is a poor strategy. But it does seem obfuscation is most of their anti-cheat techniques.

But the larger point I was trying to make is that all these studios are very secret about anti-cheat but they all seem to be fighting the same battle. Makes me wonder if the industry would be better off with cross-studio collaboration and open-sourcing anti-cheat libraries (that won't be defeated by knowing the details).
You can take the the book/printed docs with you to read/study them at night, at work pauses, in the train, etc. Libraries don't usually let you take their computers with you, at least in my country.

This is exactly my experience. I used AngularJS, then studied many options including the latest AngularJS, Angular 2 and 4, ReactJS... in order to finally settle on Vue. Doing Vue front ends for over a year already.

I don't understand your comment. Where I live people generally eat way too much. Me included. It's common understanding here that healthy meals would be smaller but people still eat big meals.

If I strain I can understand your comment to say that appetizers allow us to eat the healthier food that follows. This would require the second course to be more healthy than the first. In my experience this is a rare occurrence.

You're completely missing my point. Although the main issue is the violence and genocide dispute between 2 nations (just making an objective remark that covers both sides), you can't just look at this matter only from that perspective. It's all about power leverage and gain. I have Armenian friends living in Turkey labeled traitors by the diaspora in the States who are not oppressed like their counterparts in Turkey. That is just another disgusting aspect of humans. It's hypocrisy.
>Demonstrably so. Just look at pre-Obamacare "high risk pools" for concrete examples.

I'm obviously not talking about individuals who are so expensive to profitably insure that they can't afford the premiums. I've already stated that the market isn't going to work for them. It's not the size of the pool that's causing problems here; the contents of the pool are the problem.

>They just pick the healthy ones, if allowed.

They also pick the less healthy ones that are able to afford to pay the higher premiums it takes to make it worth it for the insurance company to cover them, assuming the insurance company is allowed to charge such premiums. There is plenty of money to be made there. Where there isn't any money to be made is in people who know they have high expenses and can't afford to pay them.

>You are using some very weird definitions of "charity".

Are you taking issue with my characterization of government welfare as charity? Why should it be excluded from such a broad category?

>Obamacare's subsidized premiums aren't shouldered by the insurance companies, they're provided by the government.

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about people who have pre-existing conditions, who are definitely going to cost the insurance company more than they're going to be paying in, regardless of subsidies, who the health insurance company can't charge more money to and can't deny coverage to.

>Insurance paying out more than premiums taken in for a particular subscriber isn't "charity", it's how insurance works.

Actually that hinges on whether it's known before the agreement is made that the particular subscriber is going to have more paid out on his behalf than he is going to pay in. If it is known, then that's not insurance. It's charity.
I would be interested in this as well. I feel like my asthma got worse since I moved to an apartment next to a busier road.
What? Are Go interfaces and strings stack allocated? If not, this assertion looks dubious to me.
You're moving the goalposts. First "government can't do it efficiently," which is wrong, so now it's "it's not politically palatable."

The first step to making something politically palatable is actually making the case for it and building momentum. If you frame it with political palatability as the metric for whether you actively pursue the policy, the whole discussion devolves into a chicken-and-egg problem.
We must have encountered very different online games and communities. Plenty of MMO's seem to have survived well known and endemic cheating without any additional toxicity in the community. No more toxic than the fake outrage when someone loses a loot roll in a dungeon or a pvp round. The "communities" and games usually seem brimming over with toxin with or without cheating. It's a good part of why I now avoid anything multiplayer.

Few seemed to actually care if the srever's elite guilds were using no wall hacks to get loot or someone was running with 6 chars receiving identical input, or botting their dailies overnight.
Im not sure if this really fits, but you might enjoy Speedrunning. It can included a good portion of analysis of the game, including code analysis(if available), debugging, disassembling etc.
I wonder, given that nowadays access to vast amounts of computing power on demand is easy, if it would be effective to generate unique builds for each and every player. Just like they already do, but tailored for each downloader. Which would get tied to an account, and to a given fingerprint.
I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that some plans will cover OTC medication if a doctor "prescribes" them for you.

According to the article, these drugs won't be considered OTC, they still need a pharmacists approval. I don't know how that will affect coverage, if at all.
> Think if slavery had been sanctioned on a federal level?

Slavery was sanctioned at the federal level, protected by elements of the Constitution and defended by federal statute, up until after the Civil War.

1-2L/hr is ridiculous. No one would be able take any reasonable hikes without bringing a burrow with them. 15 mile hike is roughly 4-5hrs across rough terrain. I've done tons of of them without any signs of dehydration.
If you're talking about DRM like Denuvo, that's something else entirely.
Bravo. The AMA/FDA/insurance cartel cannot die soon enough.

I don’t care if you want a free market, or you want socialized medicine, both are preferable to government-enforced racketeering.

I think it's okay that you don't see eye to eye with people who love Vue.

And I think it's also important to note that most of the things you point out are matters of preference. I've seen Vue fans and React fans argue about these things until they're blue in the face, when all it really boils down to is that some people like the way Vue does things, and some people like the way React does things.

Healthy debate is good. But the downside is that I've noticed these debates devolving into what I call identity politics for programmers - instead of seeing the other group as front-end developers who just like doing things differently, I see people breaking the world down into two groups: people who agree with them, and idiots. And I don't think this approach is very good for us as a community.

So I don't mean to single you out here, but the author didn't really criticize React in any way, so I don't think coming to the defense of React vs Vue here really added to the conversation.

Why not just say, "hey, I prefer React, but it's good Vue exists for folks who prefer a different approach.". Vue's existence isn't a threat to React. It's okay to have multiple approaches to the same problem.

I prefer React too, but I don't think a front end framework monoculture is a good thing so I hope that Vue, React, Aurelia, Ember, and others continue to grow.

Yeah, the same many developers haven't escaped strings they inserted into SQL tables, leading to SQL injections. Does this mean if I don't do that I have a right to brag about it? If I wrote a post saying "look at me, I escape strings" the response here would be "cool story bro". This isn't any different.

Google Cloud actually has some good new graphs (they are under billing => reports). Additionally they offer a monthly billing overview e-mail which you should already be receiving.
Right. Oversimplifying a lot, it's putting a name tag on the photons. Then you can sort out the tagged ones from all the others, drastically reducing the practical noise floor.
I like business logic in JavaScript and presentation logic in templates - for me Vue fits the bill.
> tend to be on the noisy side of things due to excessively small fans and too much power I don't need

Huh. My X240 is so much quieter than my 2010 MacBook Air was.

The Air was... (I just realized this) very aptly named, as the volume of air its fans push is ridiculous.
Speaking of outages, did Netflix ever release a postmortem on their recent global outage?
This is a strange take when the wealthy actively conspire through bought-and-sold politicians to discredit, undermine, and destroy labor organization, the only thing in history with a proven track record of winning concessions for workers(in aggregate).

Maybe there’s not a “conspiracy,” but there’s certainly a class war.
This makes me think of the Apple marketing campaign in 2004. With Apple everything is better, hmmm not really. Apple has the fastest pc's in the world, hmmm not really.. With an Apple pc you'll get your work faster done, sure? Especially the non-technical designers, writers, musicians etc.. believed that shit. In a way Vue gives me that same feeling.
Unfortunately, this tends to contradict the notion that "programming is a social activity".

There are, of course, many situations where that notion does not or need not apply, but I would expect it does to the vast majority of the HN audience during at least some point in their career.

More importantly, the OP's question makes the social nature of the context pretty clear, IMO.

That said, much of the advice in the thread is to accompany criticism with an alternative solution, and I agree that having a working solution (even proof of concept) beats a proposal/theory any day.
I'd be pretty god damn impressed if you can head out with nothing but fruit prior to an all day hike up a mountain. Especially in the middle of summer. That's some super human shit right there. Even if you could, you're providing yourself nothing in case of an emergency.
You would disagree with all of those statements?
Absolutely, we are already looking into. We are also looking into providing reports that can support multiple cloud providers.
The same could be said about any charity or relief effort, but typically people join the ones that are already easy to join.

"In 50 years, every street in London will be buried under nine feet of manure."
I don't know how you could possibly get that from "I'm so tired of the constant drone of comments suggesting self-sabotage as a would-be dark pattern." What I'm saying is that without a lot more development, there's nothing to suggest that this putative dark pattern actually exists. There is no reason to believe that self-sabotage is a beneficial act, but people constantly suggest it as one based on some magical thinking around "publicity." It has more in common with a conspiracy theory than anything else.
