Yes, I could say the same about Mario Kart 64, Tribes, Unreal, Quake, or any number of other games, but:

1) This post is about GoldenEye, so that’s what we’re talking about.

2) It doesn’t matter who is first or if other things are similar; it’s undeniable that some games just happen to hit on a certain combination of elements that makes them a hit, and others just don’t, even if they have the same feature list.

3) At the time, most FPS games were single-player with some kind of storyline, with multiplayer being mainly an afterthought. GoldenEye has a pretty good storyline for single-player, so people would buy it for that, and then just happen to have it for the multiplayer. This no doubt contributed to its popularity, as most people just had it around and it turned out to be a great thing to do with friends too.
The problem it was meant to fix is still disenfranchisement. The electoral representatives "are pledged and expected, but not required, to vote for the candidates they represent." Add in that states with small populations still get at least 3 votes and you get a situation where people say the electoral college "prevents the tyranny of the majority".
Plastic Straws are irrelevant in the greater picture, and the global boycott has nothing to do with them - but the broader picture of responsible resource management. Reducing, Re-Using, Repurposing, Redirecting(compost, energy), and finally Recycling are habits which the straw ban is meant to strengthen.

No serious person thinks banning plastic straws, in and of itself, has any purpose.
I don't agree with how our taxes are spent, and I don't agree that we're being taxed for said expenses.
Defense spending is largely a jobs program. The only question is, if you're going to have a trillion dollar jobs program if the rate of return on investment isn't higher in e.g. infrastructure spending than defense.
> It’s to help drive a message and teach awareness

I wish it was as easy. People then think "I went to Starbucks and didn't ask for a plastic straw my job is done. I saved the environment. No need to worry anymore". And they don't worry anymore.

Same with politicians "we passed a straw ordinance", our job is done. Pad that resume with another accomplishment.

It falls into the category of "busy work" and rituals. Like say municipalities, having people sort recycling into 5 different containers, then in the end dumping it all into one stream at the center or say just dumping it in the trash. But it's important to make people believe they're doing useful and important things, and this provides for that.

The amount that fertility decreases with age is vastly overstated in most popular media. Much of the data for the most commonly quoted statistics about it comes from before the medical field discovered antibiotics or hand-washing. In a study of modern women, the decrease in fertility from age 28 to age 37 was determined to be about 4%[1]. There is a sharp decrease in the late 30's, but before that the drop-off is quite small.

One feature that could achieve generics, eliminated `if err != nill{}` stutter, and allow for backwards compatibility: macros

(borrowing the '@' prefix for macros from Julia)

type ConcreteStruct @macroType(int64)

and backwards compatibility is allowed by running the go2 compiler in macro-expansion-only mode that creates macro expanded Go1 compatible source.

Extremely unlikely that we would unilaterally invade another country under President Trump. That Bush-era hawkish interventionist doctrine is pretty much dead. The diplomacy with North Korea is a good example of the new way. I'm quite certain that we would be fighting some kind of conflict with them if people like Paul Wolfowitz and Dick Cheney were in the White House today.

Say what you want about Trump and his policies but the America-focused policies of his administration aren't going to squander this economy by starting a new fraudulent and unnecessary war on the other side of the world.
Sounds like the straw ban got you to do some research and raised your awareness.

Seems to be working.
A couple years back in FIRST robotics, everything used to be analog and we would use these Microchip branded controller which had only 32kB storage. We were taught pretty quickly how to memory and storage optimize. I feel like memory and storage is so abundant nowadays that we tend to write overbloated software.
I drink out of the same cup every time without the use of a straw - imagine that. If they stopped selling straws tomorrow it could be years before I would notice.

However, I know people who prefer to drink fizzy sugar drinks that come in one-use containers. If there was some instant ban on plastic straws then these folk would not get as far as mid morning before wondering 'where have all the straws gone'.

It is through this latter group of people that my awareness of the plastic problem has been raised. I have even seen a friend buy glass straws (delivered in a huge box by Amazon) so the problem is being taken seriously by these sugary-beverage folk. The consumerist ethic isn't going to change for these folk, there is no question in their minds that straws are vital (think of the children), it is just a matter of recycling plastic straws responsibly rather than flushing them out to sea (as if they ever did, living 50 miles from the coast).

Really there should be prizes for the most futile campaigns that demand the smallest of lifestyle adjustments. However, sometimes, e.g. through the plastic straws conversation, you do get a wider discussion going.

I don't lecture my fish eating, fizzy beverage drinking friends on things, I would prefer to save my breath. They don't want to know how many decades it has been since I last used a plastic straw. I would be there all day if the full tirade on their consumerist life was given. Nothing would be achieved in doing so, nobody would change their lifestyle choices.

However, I have detected lifestyle choice changes and a lower propensity to use plastic amongst my consumerist friends in recent months so maybe we do actually need these low-lifestyle-change campaigns because they do lead people to ask the questions that can lead to modified behaviour.
Except it isn't a waste of time. Most of the credentialed, experienced people looking for a job in this current market can't do it. Most of the people actively looking for work in this field don't have a job for a reason.

Have you ever been a part of the hiring process, or are just stating that it's a waste of time because you think it's somehow beneath you to prove that you can do basic work? You know those annoying people in you group projects who don't do any work, but somehow squeak by? They graduate to, and get a job to.

Nothing personal, but I find this kind of naive ideological sentiment to be one of the least endearing features of Hacker News. For whatever reason, a lot of technical people were sold on conservative ideas under the banner of libertarianism, and it permeates any sensible conversation you try to have.

The conservatives in the US are building concentration camps for children, yet people on this site want to lecture about how straw bans are "virtue signaling", or will cause toddlers to intentionally destroy things, or reduce freedom.

It's a straw. People are capable of getting over it. And to halt progress because some dude in a MAGA hat might make fun of straw bans or crying Indians is a terrible strategy.

Your liberty ends when your actions begin harming others. I'm not worried about a few trolls rolling coal. I'm worried about cynical libertarian rhetoric that gives political cover for destroying helpful regulations.

You're missing the forest for the trees, you've bought the latest excuse given to reject environmental measures. These are the same people who look at the scientific evidence for climate change and actively deny it, and you're taking their reasoning against environmental legislation as if its being made in good faith.

Virtue signalling didn't cause anyone to oppose climate change and environmental legislation, it's post hoc reasoning that blames others for their existing apathy towards the environment.

Environmental activism shouldn't be held hostage at the whims of people who will find any excuse, no matter how flimsy, to oppose it.
I can’t recommend enough using Atom with the Hydrogen plugin. A Jupyter kernel runs in the back and you can execute a line or multiple lines of code at once just like the web notebooks. But you’re editing a plain code file, not an .ipynb, which is easy to check into git, move to inside a library, and get full IDE tooling on.
I had the original 3dfx card just to play Quake, but there were a number of things that still impressed me about Goldeneye.

- It ran on a console and not a $1000 PC.

- The game managed to go beyond what had been done in Doom and Quake, and actually have cutscenes that tell a story. Some of the cutscenes were super cinematic — especially for their time.

- Four player splitscreen was a hoot.

> I wanted to check out Mastodon and looked into setting up a node. It's a nightmare of rube goldberg machine dependency hell. It's not that I can't, but that I don't have time to mess with it.

I've come to the conclusion lately that the thing holding decentralization back the most is that sunning any kind of server-side code is challenging to set up and a regular pain in the neck to maintain.

This prevents even tech-savvy people from setting up their own nodes of whatever cool tech happens to come out (not just social networks, but RSS readers, bookmarking apps, you name it: there is an OSS thing out there that fits your needs but is a PIA to install and run.)

And in turn this limits the number of nodes that will ever run on a decentralized service, and nodes will constantly go offline as admins get fed up with running them. We need the ability to install and run server software as easily (almost) as we can install something on our phones.

This is a convenient lie developers tell themselves to justify their complexity fetish instead of thinking about how to simplify things.
This is the question that everybody is asking nowadays, which means there are no easy answers.

The only answer I heard that is non-trivial is "skills". Not very satisfying, I know. But investing in skills that the future me might use, regardless of what the market does, is probably worthwhile.
People are already doing bad programming practices in large scale with MATLAB, I guess jupyter is a step up from that.
This can backfire though. Imagine this sequence:

1. Someone says “we must ban false straws to save the environment

2. A disinterested observer looks into it, and sees this is false

3. They turn against the messenger

In the best case of #3, they will merely think the messenger is stupid. In the worst case, they’ll start to become an anti-environmentalist and make the cognitive error that all environmental messages are lies.

Logically speaking, a poor argument in favour of something doesn’t mean that thing is false. But in terms of rhetorical persuasion, making a really bad argument is an excellent way to convince people of the opposite of an idea.

There’s a distinction between safety critical equipment and essential equipment. If the former fails, it could kill you. If the latter fails, you can’t drive anymore but you won’t die if it happens on the road. Brakes are in the former category, while things like HVAC and instruments are in the latter.

Safety equipment must not fail, but essential equipment can fail as much as your customers will tolerate.

I think you would have to run your own email server for that (but you will likely not have the same uptime as a cloud provider, resulting in lost messages anyway). All of the cloud providers have to filter spam as a selling point to their users, and at scale they have to blackhole them for efficiency (pipe to /dev/null instead of storing the same viagra email for millions of users). Also for security if they detect a known virus they may want to delete it rather than let users risk spreading it.

No there hasn't. The accusations of voter fraud have come from one party and one party only. They are lying out their teeth and the party will support them regardless.

Nobody cares who the "big winners" are. That's the point.
As you probably know, this is not uncommon. Project managers choose what they prioritize and security often either falls off the bottom of the priority list or is addressed by engineers who only know enough to shoot themselves in the foot.

To really shore up security, you need to raise it's priority and in a mature project that can involve a daunting shift in momentum. Developers and testers are in a rhythm of pursuing other goals.

As the "new guy", you'll have little influence to make that shift happen in a significant and lasting way.

But here's what you can do:

1. Document your understanding and share it with the project manager. All this will do is nudge the ship a little bit, but that nudge can start a process that pays off later.

2. Take advantage of the fact that you're new. Unlike the rest of the team, you currently only have a light impact on the rhythm towards other priorities. The project momentum may be large, and so might the momentum of more senior developers, but yours is not. Pitch your "minimal gets you 90%" work as both an opportunity to triage the most pressing security issues (buying time before a bigger momentum shift is necessary) AND as a way for you to gain familiarity and ownership of a new part of the code. You'll get exposure and commit history for some new files and will likely become a first-pick candidate for a more substantial security effort later on. They may not bite on this, but it's really the most you can make a strong case for.

Good luck!
Yeah, there's a whole other dimension of this where facilities and processes become oriented toward controlling and containing patients rather than empowering them. But I think it has the same root causes as the broader lack of motivation among authorities to seriously engage:

1) Mental health treatment represents a legitimately difficult set of problems with no known recipe for success in the general case.

2) Mentally ill people are routinely dehumanized and otherwise marginalized.
What about if your relationships and mental health are terrible, so you work to ease the pain of that?

I've often struggled with what "real world experience" is and how a PhD isn't that. A PhD in science is dominated by doing research every day. PhDs often go into industry positions post phd because of their research experience. I think real world experience ends up just meaning "experience with our specific hardware/software/stack/whatever" and that isn't really anything special at that point.

The overwhelming majority of waltzes are notated in 3/4 with the measures in pairs, because it takes 2 measures (6 dance steps) to do one rotation of a rotary waltz. The two downbeats are equal. The music video on YouTube of Seal performing this song has equal downbeats.

If you write it in 6/8 instead, many musicians will emphasize 4 less than 1.

I think that dancers knowing music and musicians knowing dance is extremely useful. It changes your opinions about notation.
Like the poster above, that was my understanding of the term strawman.
