Wow. I'm glad that somebody did that experiment. I'm disappointed, but not surprised.

From the article:

> “They did admit that of course things hadn’t gone too well. But afterwards they spent half the day playing Counter-Strike again. There was no learning curve at all.”

> He ought to have become sceptical sooner, when he noticed they had formed a close-knit community, from which he was largely excluded.

He basically hired a bunch of 20-somethings and literally hoped that it would work out - doesn't sound like a plan to me even for an idealistic person.
Sorry, but he seems highly incompetent as a manager. Maybe it would work for people who come from bureaucratic environments and who are grateful for this opportunity.

I wonder how he managed to finance that for so long.

I would like to repeat the same experiment with people who are self-motivated because they've been in the workforce and burned out. I guess this might work.

Now that Google+ has been shuttered, I should air my dirty laundry
Actually Android still doesn't use 100% of OpenJDK, that is just PR from Google supporters on the Android story, easily proven by looking into AOSP source tree,

What Android does is to use a subset of OpenJDK, and even that is pretty much dependent on which Android version one is talking about.

So it is still impossible to get a random jar from Maven Central and be certain that it will work of the box on Android, even on Android P.
Allowing people to experiment: good

Allowing people to do so completely disconnected from customers or funder: bad

Ask HN: How is social credit different from NPS?
I’ve been listening to the Indicator from NPR’s Planet Money and they recently finished a 3 part series on Social Credit in China. While the reporters are generally creeped out about it, but I kept wondering how it’s no different to NPS. Also isn’t social credit just quantifying soemone’s reputation both in social and professional circles?
Ask HN: Personality insight tools like Frrole?
I want to play around with an API (or code) that displays an analysis of a given user handle or email. The only ones I found so far are Frrole[1] and IBM Personality Insights[2]. Both seem closed-source and pay-to-play. Are there no tools like these ones that are open source?

That’s not the true USD exchange rate, the “price” goes up on exchanges with USDT (tether) meanwhile any exchange with access to actual normal USD banking withdrawals have an abnormally lower spot price. If this activity persists, it would indicate the devaluation of tether which accounts for the vast majority of trade volume across the major exchanges.

Only by the Oracle haters that lack experience on the Java world.

Sun, Bea and many others used to charge for support as well, IBM still charges for it, but it is good to pay them because it wasn't Oracle it seems.
This is right - Tether buying back their USDT means that they get to retire 1 USDT for 0.95c of their backing reserves, turning the remaining 0.05c into profit which they can then invest wherever they want.

Why Broken Age is in that group?

So from what I understand, when I use my tmobile phone over 4g,I don't have an ipv4 address that is routable.

So I am basically NATed to ipv6.

Agreed. Here’s a link: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy

Android does not use whole OpenJDK, only parts of its library, that are vetted and open.

The compiler is used by Android Studio and Gradle plugin, but the bytecode is rebuilt again with d8 or dex. Google has written their own compiler in the past but decided it was unnecessary.

The critical patented parts are not in Dalvik nor in J2SE library.
I saw some links being pulled already, but I won't click the crypto scams to see if they were or not.
Seeing that IPv4 and IPv6 aren't interoperable and seeing as 75% of the internet is still running on IPv4 and assuming that the amount of v6 only hosts is absolutely minuscule, I would say that adapting and then running a bot on v6 is absolutely not worth it yet at this time.

I am not particularly familiar with Spanish, but with German as my primary language I had the opposite impression that English is a language with an excessive amount of words. There were so many words that have different meanings but offer no useful distinction, such as (pig/pork) or (damp/dank/moist/humid).

As such, it would be quite interesting to see some kind of quantitative judgment on the matter of which language has more or (less/fewer) ambiguous words.
If it continues to be deployed at that speed then I'm sure we're fast track on being able to use IPv6 in practice within the next 1000 years.

The challenge here is to identify the 1983 Unix, or whether it is indeed one single Unix.

It has the old line discipline defaults for the eof, kill, and interrupt special characters. But it also has a job control shell and the susp special character. It does not mention either Mail or mailx. login is apparently the shell built in that overlays the current shell, and there are both vi and ex for the visual and line mode editors. But there's a help command, too.

A rare condition probably shouldn't be compared to something which can be learnt and practiced. Given how people can form strong opinions derived from what other people say, I would wager that most audiophiles do not fall into this category. Citing an exception doesn't invalidate the common case.

While it may be the case that the direct parent of my post may have this, they still pointed out the differences were minor compared to pretty much every other technical factor at play in the digital to ear pipeline.

I am pretty confident that EW is part of the FEC PEACH catastrophic self insurance system. This is a $5K deductable plan which the community pays for up to that level and then the PEACH program takes over costs. This self insurance is available to any community in the FEC network and has been operating successfully for several decades. Powerfully, it succeeds in part based on the idea that you do not sue your own family, and thus all the moneys collected can go to direct medical costs and not to lawyers. If Obamacare is dismantled, this type of system is you best chance for affordable health care, you just have to be willing to share your income to get it.
С++ tooling for other mobile platforms isn't really a Microsoft stack. It's more of an attempt to get into someone else's stack with tooling, with a side effect of encouraging writing a larger part of your typical mobile app in portable C++ (which then makes it easier to port to UWP).

Xamarin is weird, you're right. It's partly the same as above, just s/C++/C#/ - but that doesn't seem to be working so well in practice. And then there's Visual Studio for Mac (nee Xamarin Studio), which in practice competes against Visual Studio Code. I think it's just one of those acquisitions that broadly felt like a good idea, but no-one properly figured out the details of how it fits in the big picture.

(But, curiously, Xamarin and VSCode are both DevDiv.)
I'm having trouble imagining a scenario where you'd have code that was so generic it could take an ArrayList of any arbitrary type and would also be responsible for its destruction.

But if you did, you could use `@TypeInfo` to inspect the inner type for a function named `deinit`, or some other criteria that made sense for this determination.

Why this pattern? From for example Jan to July 2018 there are 27 "cycles" - probably weeks. They go from say 18% to 22% in a week in a regular pattern. Peaks are sharper than the valleys. Are those weekends? Is there more use of IPv6 in the weekend?

I would counter that once someone goes from a common, well engineered brand to a less common, expensive, and equally well engineered brand, they'd have a hard time going back. You only need to look at clothing brands to see this everywhere. Not all differences are functional in the way that you have drawn the comparison.
This is this being downvoted? He is exactly right.

The ability to pin at specific version is needed not just because, but for multitude of reason: the newer version breaks something, or you have only license for up to certain version (think non-subscription Jetbrains products), etc.

The inability to disable updates removes that packaging system from further consideration. It is a showstopper.
On mobile, this is painful. Every one of those blue blocks stays too wide and requires manual scrolling side to side to read each line inside it.

If this were basic HTML, there wouldn't be a problem.
> Is there more use of IPv6 in the weekend?

Most probably yes. Since IPv6 is deployed more on consumers side rather than enterprises. So it's not surprising that over the weekend IPv6 traffic hits a peak.
Why are other american companies like Microsoft apparently exempt from this criticism? They are already in China and follow the censorship laws.
Only reason I can think of is it's way easier to get loads of ips to bypass rate limits with ipv6 than it is with ipv4

Yes.

Home connections have more IPv6 integration than businesses that have to configure their firewalls, etc.
> Finally Google had the opportunity to buy Sun assets and thus avoid being sued, while having the freedom to steer Java however they would have liked to do.

> Opportunity that they decided wasn't worthwhile to pursue.

Wow, this is incredible, I always wondered if Google even thought about this. I wonder how different things would be had they just bought out Java from under Sun, or at least the rights to use it as they see fit and allowed Sun to maintain it or some sort of deal? Basically the keys to the Java castle in such a way that lets Sun be Sun and not Oracle. There's a lot of elements to the case that shift everyones views. It's sad we're even seeing such a case so many years later, and likely why Google is going towards having Kotlin (and eventually Kotlin Native) as their main language.

C# is still the sanest default choice for any Windows desktop app. And the web stack has only gotten better since 2.0 days, especially with .NET Core. And all the "enterprise" stuff never went away, either. Never become as big again? It's way bigger than it was back then.

Same at a shop where I worked, an endless stream of 20-30 hires. Each of them was seen as the new rock star by the manager, then nothing emerged for 6 months, then the next batch came.

Manager didn't allow senior devs to have any authority, because who can contradict a 25 year old in the middle of the cultural revolution?
I think the likeliest candidate is Amazon. Gosling got hired a couple years ago. Internally, it's the main language used. Amazon wants to have control of it's destiny as much as possible.

I suspect if Oracle started pushing their usual bullshit too hard, that's what would happen. And it's a situation where Oracle knows it, Amazon knows it, and everyone is playing game theory.

It's not directly technical although it does speak about technical things, but Steve Blank's talks about the "secret history" of Silicon Valley are amazing. He's got some on YouTube, and links to some on his blog. He talks about how different tech was made to fight the Nazis, Soviets and co and how they made their own tech, and how it just became an arms race, whilst also spawning a good chunk of Silicon Valley startups and how it affected VC money down road. You get tech and Silicon Valley (/ and) history and business all in one.

No, it does not. The ruling was that APIs (at least actual APIs, not web "APIs") fall under copyright, but that does not mean you cannot use copyrighted material even without a license or outside its terms. It was ruled that Google (in particular) did not use the APIs in one of the "fair use" ways (e.g. it did not pursue interoperability).

That's a bad example list.

Daikatana was done by an industry veteran who revolutionized gaming and was an attempt to try something new.

Duke Nukem Forever is the butt of all jokes, but the end result you are talking about is a thrown together piece of shit that had nothing to do with the original and nothing with the article.

Broken Age was also done by veterans and even thought it wasn't what was expected it was a decent game.

Star Citizen I fon't know much about and since it isn't released yet I wont comment on it

Anyway the article is about giving students who didn't do anything but had an "award winning" idea free reign about money and clear goal without monitoring them. They then played counter strike in 600$ gaming chairs.

There is a documentary of the making off of broken age and they didn't just fuck around with the money, so most of your examples probably don't fit at all
This. The page is under 50KB and it takes longer to render / download (or whatever witchcraft they're doing between the back-end and DOM) an HTML representation of a rich text document than it takes this 113KB+ page on HN.
Broken Age from start to finish took less than three years to make and went over-budget but still managed to complete the game by creating the two parts into chapters to get early sales outside the original kickstarters.

People who have never managed or been part of managing big projects with deadlines don't understand that. They see the above as a failure rather than obstacles that they succeeded in getting over and releasing a moderate to good game.
I've also been in a company where they apply scrum very strictly. In my opinion Scrum is a very good option when you are in a big company and you already have older and heavier processes than Scrum like a V-Model, compared to that, Scrum is a big step forward. However, on a startup it's clearly too heavy to follow for my personal taste. You have a lot of easier to follow agile methods.
