Someone here pointed to me about this guy[0] who was using Anki to optimize his study. And now, I was using Anki for a month and I found out that I can be more productive with it. You might want to try it by yourself too.

What you are saying is true. However, throwing your hands up in the air and saying “I guess I didn’t get lucky” isn’t quite the correct response either. Success is a matter of exposure and conversion rate.

1,016 visits, many of them random and untargeted, is simply not enough to make a statistically significant decision about the viability of this game. Conversion rates for any product tend to vary wildly within specific demographics. Some games perform abysmally with wide audiences, but may have very high conversion rates with specific, well defined groups.

To be sure, there are games that don’t need to look for their niche audience. They become viral sensations because they appeal to mass audiences. They get enormous amounts of “earned media” - viral clicks from people talking about and uploading video of themselves playing - and those are the games we hear about and consider to be “Superstars”. But that in no way means that games that aggressively target some relatively small group of people that the game actually appeals to with paid advertising cannot be very financially successful. Maybe not billion dollar blockbusters, but I’d imagine this author would be happy with a six figure income from his work, which is entirely possible if he finds the right audience and applies the same work ethic he did to developing the game to marketing it.

He needs to figure out who likes the game, what makes them like it, and then use the plethora of online ad platforms and targeting options to find more people like them. His game is not a steaming pile of crap, so he will find a paying audience for it if he looks.
A lot of the direct DMCA problems come from improper use needing to be demonstrably wilful in application. When algorithms send out these notices, you get some plausible deniability.

But setting up a news site to inject a backdated and infringing article would seem to be several, moderately serious criminal offenses.

If someone does this to you, push back hard. They're facing prison and fines.

Reading advice from successful game devs to “my game didn't sell well” -style posts on reddit can be instructive too:

https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/9k8wsi/my_games_di...

Jason Rohrer's advice there was essentially:

- Games have to either make an instant emotive connection via their art style or gameplay concept (and be priced well enough for an impulse purchase), or prove that they are deep and long-lasting enough that they'll be worth the investment in time and money.

- Single-player games that don't do the above are especially hard sells, because hit gameplay trends are veering toward multiplayer games: “If your game's initial impression gives people pause, it's already over.”

The Infinitroid developer might learn something from that advice — I checked the trailer at https://infinitroid.com/, and the game looks fun, but I don't feel that instant connection to the art style or gameplay concept in the same way I did with Minit or Monument Valley (both instant impulse purchases), and I don't get the impression that it offers weeks of gameplay like The Witness or Stephen's Sausage Roll do (purchased both later after consideration and persistent appearances in media and social feeds).

It feels like most “my game's a commercial failure” posts I read could have been saved by spending more time on the initial concept and art style, and on testing the market before the three-to-ten year investment in building the full game was made.

Reducing the time to market also seems like a sane strategy. It may have taken five years to build Stardew Valley and 10 years to make Owlboy, but that does not mean every successful game involves holing yourself up for half a decade or more.

Developers also seem to underestimate just how much marketing a successful game needs even when the concept is great. Look at what the Boyfriend Dungeon team did to get traction for their game (5 years of marketing, 10 releases of other mini games on itch.io to build a following, website built 11 months before release, appearance on panels and in game press, months of Kickstarter planning), and check that you're prepared to do the same with your game if commercial success is important to you (it is fine for it not to be):

https://medium.com/@kitfoxgames/years-in-the-making-how-kitf...

Rohrer also mentions that he made 13 games before he had a hit (also happened to be his first multiplayer game), so perseverance and learning from failures seems like a big factor too.
I would say Flask.
DAFX by Zölzer covers all the fundamental audio DSP building blocks. The book is eponymous with the annual international audio DSP conference.
Ehhh, not quite.

Medicare reimbursement on a knee replacement is about $12,500.

In the UK, the average price of a private knee replacement is £11,434.

Those aren't exactly super duper far off from each other and in need of $45,000 price tags (avg US cost of knee replacement) to offset.
> It's insane how difficult it is currently to figure out how much even routine and planned operations like delivering a child will cost, and as a result people don't bother to even try

In my real-life experience, that is false. When my wife was pregnant we asked the doctor if we could pay upfront. She said yes, gave us a price, and explained what that would cover. We paid her; the delivery was at the hospital, and everything went well.
edit: To be clear, I mean making `self` implicit in the method signature - not implicit in the method body like the way Java does it.

It's a very minor and aesthetic/cosmetic thing. No, I don't write classes for everything. I write functions for things that should be functions and classes for things that should be classes. But when I do write classes, it's annoying to remember to write `self` in the method signature, annoying to get exceptions because I forgot to add it, annoying to see it since it's just that tiny bit of additional redundant line noise when I just want to quickly glance at a method signature. And literally no other OO language does this that I'm aware of; even ones that are generally way less dynamic than Python.

But as I said, I do understand how it came about and why it is the way it is. But on the other hand, it was the exact same story for `super()`, and they did resolve that with "magic". The "magic" floodgates have also opened up a bit more with string interpolation added [1]. So now I think a more reasonable case can be made for making `self` optional. If they could do it for `super()`, they can do it for `self`. It doesn't annoy me that much, though, and I still plan to use Python for a long time even if it's never changed.

Well this won't stand court challenges hopefully. It's dreadful that they ever passed this law. It's demeaning to women and simply will make people think that any woman on a board of directors is there for the sake of being the token woman to fulfill the requirements of the law.

EEOC: https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/sex.cfm

> The law forbids discrimination when it comes to any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, fringe benefits, and any other term or condition of employment.

Even if they argue a loophole "directors aren't employees thus aren't subject to discrimination law" then that will simply result in companies outside California (and considering most corporations are registered as Delaware C-Corporation, that's most of them) openly legally discriminating in selection of board members.
congrats you made it to number 2 on hn - I'm sure your revenue just went up a lot.
The game actually looks pretty cool. I echo the price and platform. It looks like it would appeal to a fairly casual gaming category with a lower price. I'd pay a couple bucks but 7 or 8 seems high but I don't do gaming off of my phone so this game would appeal to me but isn't targeted toward a platform that I use.

What would create more jobs, running the same old coal power plant a couple more years or building a million new wind turbines? Or running the same old coal power plant or inventing, building and installing new filters and furnaces for existing plants? With the added benefit of having a great new technology to export and sell overseas if you're the world's first to have it (=require it)
The problem is that Japanese developers are not exactly easy to get a hold of. The biggest speed games are Mario and Zelda titles (and among those it's especially the older ones). There are speedruns with developer commentary [1] but it's mostly for western indie games.

Watch repair:

The watch repair manual, by Fried

The Swiss Watch repairer's manual, by Jendritzki (This book is great, but don't pay more than $75. After Fried's book it pulls in all the information nicely.)

Bulova Repair Training Manual

Bestfit encyclopedia of Watch Parts 1 & 2

The clock and watch makers guide to gear making

George Daniels Watchmaking

I'll be writing my own book in the future. It will be a modern take on the repair of mechanical watches. It will have a lot of pictures. It will be direct, and to the point.

If you are interested in watch repair; I would do it as a hobby. I couldn't imagine making a good living repairing watches.

The bigger watch brands do not want to sell spare parts. That just might change in the future? Right now, it looks dim. Rolex, and the Swatch Group basically want to dictate whom, and where you can elect to get your watch repaired. Most times it the factory, at factory prices.

If you get into watch repair throughly, your appreciation of watches might change. When there's no mystery, there's no magic, I guess?
I have lived in California for about 30 years. Yesterday I took my kids to the Barnes and Nobles in San Luis Obispo. The kids section is next to the bathrooms. Inside the bathroom a homeless guy was smoking meth and another was using the sink and paper towels to give himself a bath. On the ride home I noticed that there was literally no less than one homeless guy per block on both sides of the road.

It has not always been like this and it's getting worse.

This is on top of all the other issues California has. Ridiculous housing prices, horrible schools and a wildly business unfriendly environment, etc.

My point is: The governor was working on mandating public companies have female board members instead of the laundry list of catastrophes that are destroying this state. Think about who you vote for this upcoming election in CA.

That is how most socialized medicine works. At least in Norway and Switzerland. Just because you have government guaranteed service doesn't mean it is illegal to sell more/better service. Perhaps shorter waiting lines, nicer hospital or better healing. You just have to try a bit harder to be worth it to people.
Have a blog with some really great tutorials / articles.

It's called inbound marketing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inbound_marketing
But think of all the shareholder value this creates! And since we live within a capitalistic society, creating shareholder value is the only thing that matters. So clearly Trump is the most greatest president to have ever lived.

California has about 25% of the nation's homeless population. It's quite bad and there are complex reasons for it.

One contributing factor is the lovely California weather that makes it much less of a hardship to "sleep rough" than it is in most parts of the continental US.
Given how many dysfunctional policies in California are a result of the proposition system I think the people of California only have themselves to blame not the Governor.
This seems to be better than the current Macbook Pros on almost every level - specs, ports, weight. Only the screen is worse.

Many people feel sexism, and bigotry in general is not solved by more of the opposite kind of bigotry. I feel their theory that it will somehow lead to more rolemodels is optimistic, but misplaced.

What3Words has some strange choices / consequences:

* If you accidentally change the word order for a location, you could send a mailman to a wrong and faraway location:

- http://map.what3words.com/help.driver.lost is in Chicago
- http://map.what3words.com/driver.lost.help is near Grand Rapids

* If you accidentally mess up the plurals or spelling, you send people all over the place:

- cosmetic.takeover.fries is in Amsterdam
- cosmetic.takeover.fires is above the Pole Circle in Russia
- cosmetic.takeovers.fries is west of Shanghai

* Lastly, locations are 'named' quite randomly, with no apparent logic or explanation behind it. So, adjacent locations have a completely different name. How can we (or a mailman) deduct/reason about the 'address' of a neighbor, or the what3words for the other side of a property?

I get the shovelware feeling from Netflix too tbh; as with the Unity games mentioned, there's a lot of effort and they're high quality, great writing, visuals, direction, they tick all the boxes and we live in a golden age of TV series and films - but there's just so much of it. Not hearing about any of the shows or movies beforehand from my social circles doesn't help either - the network effect is super important. And that's from a service with a fixed fee per month, so the bar for watching something new is super low.
>The trouble is that you can't always know in advance which billing code a provider will actually submit on the claim,

That seems like the billing system itself is conceptually faulty. Like a supermarket where the same gallon of milk costs different prices depending on which shelf you took it off of.
Oh absolutely. But I don't know how much of a "blockchain" that really is depending on how you define it. When I think blockchain, I think miners/proof of work/etc.

Is a CT log a blockchain? Because really what we're talking about here is a signed ledger which may be decentralized but very well may be centralized as well.
I learnt about it from this interview of about depression inflammation research:

> Charles Raison, M.D. is a professor at the School of Human Ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Founding Director of the Center for Compassion Studies in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Arizona. Dr. Raison’s research focuses on inflammation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DtJGJWjDys

While the protocol he is implementing (and most hyperthermia protocols I have seen) involve temperatures reaching 104-105 degrees, in the interview they discuss a possible connection to hot yoga and sauna use, which would not involve such high temperatures.

I would assume that it would easiest to try something like this at a sauna in a gym for a few week or so - all else you would need would be a thermometer. I picked up a bunch of IR lamps and a couple of space heaters, and set them up in a space just big enough to do push-ups in. The entire setup cost ~$200.

http://i.imgur.com/aM3BCbE.jpg

I have been getting my temperature to 100 degrees via the lights and the heaters, spending another ten minutes trying to increase it from there (it is usually close to 102 by the time I stop), then resting for another 20 minutes with the heaters and lights not quite as overbearingly close. I've also started incorporate pushups and planks and drink a quart of hot tea (watch out with this and the thermometer :) )

At first I thought it wasn't doing much for depression, but continued to use it due to dramatic and unexpected improvements in my other immune conditions. After skipping it a few times, it became very obvious what effect it was having on my mood, which noticeably and reliably lifts around 20 minutes or so of reaching 100 degrees.

Overall, it takes an hour a day. The process is tiring, and once your temperature starts getting above 100, you can't concentrate or do very much: even watching TV becomes a chore. And while it hasn't alleviated my depression, it's had enough of an effect that I'm no longer willing to go without it.
Intriguing question, you never really think about it after you've read the books, do you?

So here you go:

The Innovators Dilema, C. M. Christensen. Just because , not really domain relevant for me but tons of interessting stuff and insights

Introduction to Materials Management, Arnold, Chapman, Clive. Covering the basics of Supply Chain Management. And I have yet to encounter a situation where the basics don't matter.

Designing and Managing the Supply Chain, Simchi-Levi, D., Simchi-Levi E., Kaminsky P.. Not just the basics of supply chain management, in essence what Amazon is doing in that regard. I have an older edition from 2005 that was just as relevant druing my Masters in 2018 as was back then, but maybe a newer edition doesn't hurt.

Logistics Engineering and Management, Blanchard. The book adding a systems engineering perspective to the above mentioned ones. A little bit weak on the actual logistics and supply chain part, which makes it even more powerfull in combination with the ones mentioned earlier. I can only recommend it for everyone working with complex long-life systems, e.g. ships, planes, industrial equipments,...
It seems wrong to assume that all trans people have the intention of undergoing a transition. I imagine there's a significant amount of people who feel that they were born into the wrong body, but find the transition process uncomfortable for whatever reason and choose to remain the way they were born.

If its business environment is so wildly unfriendly shouldn't that have solved the housing prices issue as all the jobs and therefore the desire to relocate should have long since faded?

I don't agree with the law and yet I don't think any of the problems you listed have simple solutions. For example all the ways imaginable to address ridiculous housing prices would seem to negatively effect those who presently own houses who have basically all the wealth. How do you propose to fix THAT.
Novels are their own problem, but it's a similar one; there's hundreds of thousands of great writers and publishing is trivial nowadays (iirc the longest work of fiction ever made is a Super Smash Bros fanfiction published for free), but getting 'mindshare' (or, just some attention - and that's before making a sale still) is hugely difficult.
Hint: put Allahu Akbar in front of every sentence.
This law was about symbolism, the Governor says so himself.

The bill passed the House and Senate, and was signed by the Governor. His signing was purely symbolic and is aware of the serious legal concerns.

So although a court challenge would put it on shaky ground, it actually might be politically tenuous to pursue the case at all!

And plus, the Equal Rights Amendment will nix it anyway (but too bad the 50 year red supreme court will nix that)
Similar thing seems to be going on on Youtube.

The first lecture is from this summer, the others are from an MIT mini-course few years back when D4M was still incubating.
