It was fairly standard at the time and still is in episodic adventure games (e.g. Mass Effect, Dragon Age, etc). Strictly episodic games with character continuity are themselves a lot less common, though.
There are more than two outcomes. Competence is not binary.

Also, again: null hypothesis. If you want to argue that there's a positive correlation between X & Y, you provide evidence.
IIRC, last I checked something like half the states in the US allow you to get a paper ballot ahead of time for no particular reason so in those states vote by mail wouldn't change anything.

I would say that vote by mail isn't always the best option depending on circumstances but today in the US there is not much vote buying or coersion and it seems like a clearly less bad option than any of the alternatives considering how they are actually implemented. I would not recommend it for Mexico, which already has widespread vote buying even without being able to verify who voters actually vote for.

They can test this if they tried getting students to try studying outside under natural lighting for a while. Though in China that may be impractical depending on the city.
Reminds me of the time I worked the polls in 2004 in NC, which was (maybe still is) using electronic touchscreen voting. I clearly remember an elderly woman with very poor fine motor control. Her hand was shaking terribly. I watched her hit the "next" button and, due to the shaking, press it multiple times and skip most of the ballot.

I asked her if she wanted my help to go back and finish her ballot. She declined, saying she'd managed the vote for President and that was all she really cared about.
I don't understand how it is possible to work like this. As soon as I started learning programming I immediately wished for and imagined some kind of version control. I didn't have to imagine much, as I very quickly learned about cvs (the standard back then).

My partner, a scientist, that deals with all kind of data and code and latex has expressed the need for version control too (sadly I have not been able to explain git well enough such that it makes enough sense so she could use it).
Ah man. Awesome stories. The thing I remember about Asteroids was that it looked like nothing else. The straight lines and glow of the vectors were hypnotic.

it seems that people who buy cars fall into two groups.

the first group views a car as an appliance, and will generally buy the cheapest one that will get them where they need to go and haul their stuff around. you tend to see these people driving crossovers.

the second group actually enjoys driving, and will seek to get the nicest car that fits in their budget. the minimum viable car and the nicest car you can afford can be very different in cost.

I would agree that democracy works better the more informed the voters are, however the very idea of taking steps to discourage 'voting while ignorant' is highly controversial in the US. We have a history of disenfranchising voters which is at the back of most people minds when the topic comes up.
That’s pretty much what the “past” link gives you. I like the human touch of someone consciously deciding whether there’s value in highlighting previous posts.
Yes but given limited resources it's more feasible to obtain a random sample of the population you're looking to gain insight with and derive your observations from the sample.

Assuming it's a properly representative sample.
Unlike a lot of other game companies of the era, Atari was actually very methodical and kept lots of records.

They would regularly go off-site and just brainstorm everything they could think of. It all went into a large binder. When someone needed a new idea or concept, the book was there.

Paper ballots with optical scan machines are popular in states that care about these issues. Compared to your suggestion there are fewer machines, easier recounts and audits, and it's very easy for the public to understand.

The problem is that technical progress is much faster than cultural one. Human nature is basically the same it was 2000 years ago: people in power want more power. And while the totalitarism of early 20th century had eventually fallen, the totalitarism powered by constant surveillance, Big Data, Machine Learning has a potential to be so effective we won't be able to escape it. Some elements of that are already implemented in China (think: Great Firewall).

I think it's best to treat the various hooks the same as method definitions: you wouldn't conditionally define componentDidUpdate or componentWillUnmount in a class component. Instead, you would conditionally do something within those (always-present) functions. The same applies for these hooks.
How can it be consumer apathy when there is only one supplier of internet for the vast majority of households? Very few people have fiber as an option, and even then, it's probably from Verizon or Comcast or ATT, and still only 1 option. DSL and wireless options are not comparable options.

The only solution is for voters to get their act together and demand taxpayer funded network infrastructure and treat it like a utility. It makes no sense for 10 different companies to run fiber to every residence.
Technology also always exists in context, removing any neutrality.

Here's one audit scheme to verify that the counting machines are reliable:

https://www.verifiedvoting.org/resources/post-election-audit...

One good way to implement this is with paper ballots and optical scan machines. You get speed/less labor with accuracy.

But you still need to study that the paper ballots are reliably usable by all types of voters, in addition to verifying that the machines count accurately.
The situation in San Francisco is mostly due to NIMBYism and a refusal to build housing. Tech jobs don't magically make housing prices rise - shortages of housing make housing prices rise. Seattle is handling this better than SF, in large part because SF had messed with the natural interaction of supply and demand. Given what the above commenter wrote, Berlin looks like it is in the same situation as SF: trying to solve a housing shortage by discouraging demand rather than increasing supply.
Forgive me if I prematurely discount the UX opinions of a Gregg Abbott political appointee explaining that a laughably amateur user experience is the fault of the voters of the opposing party.
There are ways to make it hard to trace. Suppose your boss tells you to vote for his favorite candidate or you're fired.

Instead of money changing hands, there will be a threat of money ceasing to change hands, and that's much harder to prove
IMO it should be called voter suppression when this isn't done (as in Oregon) since rural voters are less likely to have convenient drop boxes. Mild voter suppression compared to what some states are doing but still politically motivated voter suppression.
... that's what is usually done, yes? If anything is done at all, which is the typical worst case today.
As you said the result is way more impressive. That is the main theme when you try to compare deep learning based approaches to traditional ML approaches especially in unstructured data(images, speech, text).

Also, deep learning based approaches don't require too much fiddling with features. Main work involves coming up with NN architecture and loss function.
That's why launchd takes control of ports required by these kind of system services before the regular userspace is initialized.
There is a paper record. Watch the people running the ballots next time. Your session there was recorded but your vote is not directly tied to you as that would be illegal.
There are a lot of personal CRMs already -- I use busycontacts instead of the default Apple contacts and that is one of its functions. Look up a contact and you get the messages and calendar entries about them; you can add notes, etc.

Oracle isn’t just good at convincing oblivious executive types- once they are at an organization they start spreading “oracleness” everywhere. When a huge portion of the orgs DBAs, developers, and IT managers get their training and expertise from Oracle they become advocates too. Oracle gets REALLY hard to get out when an orgs DBAs refuse to provide access to non Oracle tooling (yes, this happens.)

Also, I probably throw enough hate at Oracle to make up for 100 average consumers

The 2000 presidential election was really close in the state of Florida. There were some legitimate issues with the design of the paper ballots, and this generated a lot of controversy.

This really upset a lot of people and they wanted _something_ to be done. A lot of people naively felt computerizing it would automatically fix everything. They were wrong, but that's how we got here.
It's quiet after 7pm because most people don't live in the loop. After 6pm the neighborhoods become a lot busier. Also, a lot of the people in the loop during the workday come from the suburbs.
Hostel Podcast: School Diaries – When We Passed 10th and CBSE Boards
That's how I remember it, but one difference in my experience was that it was understood by everyone that watching lots of TV was considered bad, but we all went ahead and did so anyway. Now it's considered normal to "binge" on TV, and I find it very disconcerting that people are using that word without even being tongue-in-cheek about it.
I as a parent am trying to do the best I can with what I can afford. This cost is both time and money (which honestly is vastly skewed). I learned watching my parents growing up and that's really what I have to go by.

I spent a lot of time growing up watching TV. It has helped me learn english (and the proper use of slangs) as well as teaching me some values and cultural references that I couldn't get from a book. If I was never allowed to watch TV, I don't know how I would have occupied my time. Libraries were a bus ride away, there was no local park for me to go to (even if I did, didn't have any friends to really do anything worthwhile)

So, is it my parent's fault? were they unfit as parents to let me watch whatever TV I could after doing my homework? would I have been a better person (whatever that means) if I would have had other after-school activities?

I'm writing this because I'm so sick and tired of people pointing fingers and speaking as though they have all the answers. If you identified the problem, you have to give me the solution as well. You can't just say "here's the problem, now go solve it yourself".

And for you non-parents, you have no idea the types of peer pressure these kids go through. Don't point fingers and label them as some kind of defects just because they've been exposed to the scary "screen time". Kids are just trying to survive, just like the rest of us.

Maybe you should invest in a Vectrex, the only vector console.

I can remember it also came with a version of Asteroids. This had the CRT magic you describe but despite the charm it looked a bit like an oscilloscope to me. I played this in Woolworths circa 1982 when the thing to buy was a 'proper computer' even if that meant a ZX81 that you soldered yourself.

If I can remember correctly the Vectrex was price competitive with the humble ZX81 when new, now they are bound to be worth a relative fortune compared to those allegedly more useful computers that are worth little.

Size was also good, you could have a Vectrex on your desk, an Asteroids cabinet would be a bit too bulky for that.

Voting by mail, as we have in Washington and Oregon, makes it so easy to vote. And, now we don't even need a stamp on our ballots. I don't know that any system is perfect, but one really has no excuse to not vote and to vote accurately when they have plenty of time and can do it from the comfort of their home.

I think cow clicker had novelty and the empty room psych on its side as well. Humans tend to obsess upon things which seem to have a purpose but no obvious one.

Well before then players of the original Diablo were obsessively clicking cows because of rumors and belief that there had to be something to the cow.

> It's patently obvious that none of these asshole techbros has ever actually tried at all, right?

It's also pretty obvious when techbro's lack any kind of liberal arts education, or general praxis around the various subjects encompassed in liberal arts. You typically see this in discussions around government or social policies. But it can rear its head in literature to, like when the usage of satire is so out of place and crudely crafted one can't help but wonder how self-aware the person misusing it is.

> It's not possible that someone could be exposed to the glory of art, creativity, and expression without being moved to value it!

Well it certainly is possible and even likely. No one ever made any kind of point insinuating that, or even broached that subject about changing hobbies or what you enjoy. So you've definitely just misunderstood the entire discussion. I recommend rereading the topic post and this thread.

> I'm really not sure what you mean by "deflate the obstacle".

The obstacle being ego.

Games helps out with that alot acting both teacher and timespender.

Everyone is attached to a screen, it's not just kids. Just sit down on a bench or a bus and reflect on your surroundings. It really is surreal.
This is obviously the kind of reality they have to meet, so they adapt and learn.

Banning things have never really worked out in my opinion, compared to work together and talk about things.

Parents have always and will always act preventive, being concerned. Our biggest job however is to have faith in the minds of our kids. They are great at getting the best experience they can from their life. Just be there as a parent and help them navigate. They will probably be stronger and better at facing technology than us the parents ever will be.

This is atleast what I tell concerned parents and myself. The best thing we do here is to start a game of fortnite and play all together since that is the only thing everyone agrees on (used to be minecraft).

There's a lot of research on this to find bad behaviours, were peoples life actually change to the worse. And what I have learned is that we need to love talk and interact with your kids, try to understand their interests and be brave. The world is a tough place and they need all the guidance they can to figure out what we came up with actually means. Childproofing only gets you that far.

Re: ballots in a trunk

Re: receipts

Why not just turn in the receipts and count them. Why have a black box do the counting? If a machine says candidate A had a thousand forty votes and B had a thousand thirty, what are you going to do? How do you know if your receipt lied?
If people keep their receipts, you no longer have anonymous voting. And what are you going to do, track down every voter?
If those running the election keep the receipts, they should just count them manually.
I'm a South Korean national living in the Silicon Valley area. I've participated in South Korean election several times, including one (or two?) congressional election. Luckily for me, they open a voting booth in San Jose so that every Korean citizen in the area can come and vote.

When I arrive, they ask for my ID (i.e., passport), look up my registered address, and the computer automatically prints out the correct set of ballots, and an envelope with the correct return address. I take them to the voting booth, stamp on the candidates I like, put the ballots into the envelope, seal the envelope, and put it in a box, and later all the envelopes in the box will be sorted and sent to the correct district so that they can be counted at the actual election day.

It's 2018, folks. This isn't magic.
My main point was that the narcissism (I've been copying and pasting, the spelling IS impossible) you're describing being on the pointed of, that's more familiar, is different than the other kind the article talks about.

Specifically, having a narcissistic mother and being trans led to me being that other kind, that always feels phony and is always trying to come up with some version of self that's packaged for the approval of others.

Good luck getting any kind of change on the political front
One hundred comments here and practically none of them are about the technical content of the article.

It gives a fascinating history of technical developments in Windows kernel scheduling. For example how they solved a scaling bottleneck exemplified by poor SQL Server performance, through introducing finer grained locking. Or the challenges of heterogenous scheduling on certain 64-bit ARM processors, in ensuring service performance isn't degraded for foreground processes.

But all the fools' gallery of HN can muster up is whining about SKUs, mumbling about the cost of licences, complaining about the Windows 10 UI, fantasizing about Linux, or making irrelevant wisecracks.

For a community that prides itself on the hacker mentality and the curiosity that comes with it, you lot certainly don't show it. Idiots.
> Those who are forced by their bosses to work with Oracle today, are going to be the bosses of tomorrow.

Yes, but if it’s still the same company, they’re likely subject to a lot of vendor lock-in. It can be very hard, technically speaking, to move away from a large Oracle investment. Lots of code to rewrite.
