Banned accounts cover the spectrum, so if what you're saying is true, we must dislike all the views.

Or we could just be moderating according to the guidelines, like we say. I'm confident the bulk of the community agrees with that. If they didn't, we'd never hear the end of it, where in fact the only accounts making these complaints are the few most ideologically strident ones.

Certainly our AWS bill when we were using Lambda + API Gateway forced us to "think about servers" and why we were paying 10x more for slower responding application server to spin up for 15 minutes to process a request that requires 50mb of RAM / 10 ms and subsequently billing us for the full allocated amount at 100 ms. Learn from our pain: use EC2.
I wish I had a good answer. A mix of trusted friends and a thoughtful therapist. If you are in an abusive situation, a therapist should be able to identify it since there are objective frameworks to think about that. It's also easy to reject an "objective" diagnosis of a situation because you are likely to view it from your internalized perspective.

Which libraries are you talking about? Empirically, the majority of Rust users use stable. Additionally, the nightly/stable split exists to serve exactly this problem; if you need stability, you use stable, and the need for nightly drops each and every release.
I do think many games isn't so good. (That is Sturgeon's Revelation.) Also to consider what is written on ZZT when the program terminates, there is one of two pages possible one is complain about such game with "flashy but meaningless graphics" and other problems they have.
I was a volunteer at a video game museum. I was also a kid playing Space War, Asteroids, and Battlezone. There's a big difference between kids nowadays and kids back then, in terms of how much problem solving and science they're willing to do to figure out a game!

Basically, most kids nowadays will just walk up to Battlezone, wiggle the sticks for 2 seconds, which just pivots/vibrates the tank for 2 seconds, then they give up. (A few adults were like this too.) Of the kids who didn't give up, there was one who didn't figure out the 3D world also existed out of the field of view. He asked of the radar screen, "What's that clock thing in the top?" ("It's a radar screen." -- blank look. "It's a minimap." -- Comprehension!)

I have a MMO Asteroids style game up online. At one point, I hired a high school aged kid to do testing. His first reaction: It doesn't go where I point it! It's impossible to strafe! For the younger kids reading this comment 1) is the point of the mechanic and 2) It's not, if you grok basic physics.

I've noted that the "Asteroids" movement mechanic is generally hugely bastardized and dumbed down for modern audiences in today's games, to the point that it breaks the expectations of anyone who has skill with the mechanic in Asteroids. "Heat Signature," and "SPAZ" are two examples of this.
I think OP meant non-professionals. A mental health diagnosis from a laymen is no different than saying "you're crazy!"
Hey man, thats pretty cool and we do exactly the same using Cassandra instead of FDB. Since Cassandra doesnt support transaction at high volume (100K tps) we do a shuffle so that all the same key do read/modify/write from the same machine. It seems like with FDB you can get away with it as it supports transactions? My question to you is what is the volume your system is operating at? Also how does it work for skews? Lets say you need to update HLL for a key that is heavily skewed, does your FDB transaction unwind fast enough not to slow down the whole system?
>Eventually, Oracle is going to run out of their oblivious- executive-type customers

Perhaps some are oblivious, but not in general. At some point, when one gets busy enough, convenience and reliability trump bargains.

I know I can replace the backlight on my macbook, but I'm still going to the Apple Store. I know I can save 15¢/gallon at a gas station a mile away, but is it really worth the time and energy to do it at that price? That's why I buy Oracle and just about everything else.
Right.

Also, many new visitors mistake the Loop for downtown, but the Loop is really just one part of downtown. Downtown encompasses River North, West Loop and a bunch of adjacent neighborhoods where it's fairly lively. Parts of the Loop can be pretty lively at night too, especially off State St where the theaters are (I just saw Hello Dolly last night).

I mention this because there are many midwestern cities (like St Louis) whose downtowns are completely deserted after 5 which gives rise to safety concerns. Chicago's downtown isn't like that at all. It's still comparatively residential. It's somewhat similar to downtown Toronto in that the core business district clears out after 7 and the surrounding areas become more lively.
I think it's a bit misleading to claim that AI is "generating" these images, as if from whole cloth.

Images of real people have been scored along the adjustable metrics, and then as you click the +/- adjustments, the source images are very craftily "blended" to produce a finite spectrum of results.

Yes, no output image is itself a "real" human (although I wonder if you tweak the settings just right to exactly match one of the input images if it would just spit it back out?).

It does not appear to me that we are seeing an AI that has learned what humans look like and can now generate arbitrary fictional humans. The magic trick is exposed by lossolo's comment below. [1]

If you look at the letter from Thomas M. Saunders, Esq. towards the middle of the page, you'll notice a handwritten reference to Skip Paul. This is the same Skip Paul who championed our game, 13 years later, while a senior executive at Universal Studios -- and who in fact decided the character of Crash should be a bandicoot rather than a wombat. (The article also quotes Mark Cerny, who was our producer, and who was brought in to Universal by Skip.)
Shouldn’t something like this be relatively simple to do with some kind of system with mobile connectivity & GPS housed in some kind of floatable shell?

It wouldn’t have to be powered on for the whole journey (to preserve power) as long as it pings back it’s location from time to time.

And since it’s location is known it should be possible to recover every unit so as not to pollute the oceans with them.

Shouldn’t cost more than $200 per unit, I’d even tend to say that it’s doable for around $100.

This would have the benefit that you can plot the exact course each unit has taken (in real time). And for where there’s no mobile connectivity just save the location locally and push it once connection is regained.

You could do something like Google has done with the Leap Smear on a larger scale, but the better question is why does the clock change need to happen at all? There's really no reason for it.

It would be vastly easier for businesses which wish to let their employees out early enough to enjoy the sunlight to change their hours for a few months than for the entirety of society to change their sense of time.

Also, you'd be surprised how many clocks are not Internet-connected, as a lot of people still rely on clocks on their microwave, oven, car radio, etc. And in my case, I am absolutely reliant on one (or, often, like three) completely dumb alarm clocks, because they aren't subject to the whims of my phone doing dumb things like not ringing when it should.

FWIW, async/await does produce a “stack full” coroutine: you get a single, exactly sized stack for each task, every time. This is made possible by coroutines being fundamentally stackless, but in the end, tasks still have stacks.
> you now have significantly stronger runtime guarantees about your application in terms of safe and proper concurrency.

I agree, but I think many people assume that this is the only benefit achieved. The presence of the borrow checker and rigorous memory safety requirements allows the compiler to take substantially more advantageous paths in allocation/deallocation compared to e.g. C. The benefit attained is similar to the benefit of switching from C to very well memory-managed C++, except it comes by default.

This is a significant advantage even in code that is not concurrent at all. I feel like it's a shortcoming of Rust's marketing, if anything, that the safety restrictions are often pitched only in context of thread-safety rather than memory-usage-optimization.

It's a pretty sad state we've got ourselves into as an industry when people think that parsing a 1GB log file in three minutes is "exciting". That's five megabytes per second. Jeez, anyone would think it's 1988, not 2018.

And that was an _improvement_ from the original, note - 36 minutes is 470KB per second.

That is literally 1000 times slower than a modern SSD should be capable of shovelling your data. And remember, I/O is s-l-o-w.

I just despair, I really do.

Note that this article sweeps the cost of gzip under the carpet, which I would expect to dominate here. Try compressing with something like LZ4-HC, you'll then be able to decompress at GBs/sec of raw data.
Probably you are using a non-standard definition of the word dubious.
For sure, and sockets are first class citizens and testing is at the forefront for all these things. Elixir is going to kill it.

People will attribute value to anything for any number of reasons, but I’m not sure you can make regulation on anything beyond “encouraging” such behavior. (And I would assume these companies already actively discourage it; you’re not supposed to be able to get money back out of the system!)
How much traffic were you receiving when it made financial sense to switch from serverless to EC2?
So, if a player does not have a title to anything in the game, the player has control over some items, and can sell this control? I suppose tokens in casinos also don't belong to players, but they are readily exchangeable for money.

On one hand, this may be enough to consider it gambling for money.

On the other hand, many games may expressly forbid selling in-game stuff. This is not easy to enforce, though, unless you forbid to drop and pick up items, or make in-game exchanges. A number of games uses exchange as a important "social" / "multiplayer" feature, but likely those are not slot-machine-like anyway.

A sidebar on this is why parents put their kids in front of a screen in the first place. Depending on your child and your childcare arrangements, sometimes the easiest and cheapest way to get your kids to stop bugging you is to plop them in front of a screen.

Is your kid whining st a restaurant? Or bugging you while you need to make an important phone call. It’s easy to calm them down if you hand them an iPhone with candy crush.

I think many parents are uncomfortable with this use of phones, but reality forces you to use it.

> If the athlete turned up waving a _spoofed_ email and they let them in then that would be a more appropriate example.

Fair, I was just making the point about the validity of email agreements in general.

But let's say Harvard let others send email that appeared to come from their domain (by not having SPF enabled) and some kid withdrew all their other college applications because one of their friends was playing a prank on them or whatever, almost certainly the college would either let them in or else settle and pay damages. No way in hell they would want that going to trial even if they thought they could win.
Satya Nadella Is Reading Hacker News
Windows doesn't scale down quite as far and thus Microsoft's lastest answer for IoT is actually Linux: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azure_Sphere
So are you gonna play ships or rocks?
I've actually seen the opposite happening. Organizations tend to favor MSSQL even though other free options like Postgres could do the job just fine. Large enterprises I've worked with such as hospitals, auto mobile companies and pro sports teams overwhelmingly prefer their web and mobile apps to be written in .NET over java/python/js.

Azure is a huge step forward in bringing many of these traditionally in house technologies like SQL Server, SSIS, SSAS, Reporting Services, and .NET Web Apps affordably into the cloud as well as newer technologies that fit comfortably into companies' existing infrastructure (Data Factory, Azure Functions, HDInsight etc.)

They are grabbing a huge amount of developer mindshare at the enterprise level, and by opening up their tools are allowing the younger crowd a free alternative to going with OSS.

I'm definitely not a MSFT zealot. I have been a "linux guy" since I was 14 yrs old, but after working almost exclusively with the MSFT stack for the last 2.5 yrs I am very impressed with their offerings and the level of integration and cohesiveness around those offerings.
I found this sentence in the Microsoft Corp (MSFT) Q1 2019 Earnings Conference Call Transcript rather interesting:

> In fact, this morning, I was reading a news article in Hacker News,
> You support a dozen architectures?

And they only support four (x86, amd64, ARM, ARM64)! This is quite a cute thing to mention after saying you're "one of the most versatile and flexible operating systems". Ignoring the obviously qualifying language of "one of the most", I would argue it is still false -- virtually every mainstream operating system I can think of supports more architectures than this. Here is my quickly-put-together list:

* Linux: 25.
* MINIX: 15.
* OpenBSD: 13.
* FreeBSD: 7.
* Windows: 4.
* illumos: 3 (with arm* in development).
* Darwin: 2.

What an achievement. Now -- don't get me wrong, Windows has done a lot of things, but they have set the parameters of this comparison and they don't fare well in it (even if you get past the qualifying language over a comparison that they decided to make).

I mean we only tolerated those bills for a few months before we had to switch, but generally speaking we were handling on the order of 4-5M requests/day, mostly low bandwidth. API Gateway, and wasting lots of allocated server resources for each time the function ran, was just killing us. The load was pretty constant, which was another reason to switch. No regrets either way, but we should have done the billing math at production load and not just been blinded by the free tier and the low cost per run.
I can only guess but that could have been built that way to simply stylistically fit in with other building in the area, even if it wasn't necessary. Also, building it the way they did gives more light and access to the lower level and probably required less work.

Likewise I believe that many of the buildings in that area date to around the beginning of the 20th century, if not older which would put them in the right ballpark.

It is also not that far from downtown and very well within incorporated Chicago in 1900 (I'll have to look for earlier maps later).
Well, you should release the source code, or else a DOS executable file that can run on DOSBOX, or a .NES ROM image file, or whatever, the end user can then provide their own emulator to run it on. Only the end user shall have full control over what runs on their computer, not you.

I currently use Linux and it is much better than Windows (although I didn't like the desktop environment so I uninstalled it, but customizing the system is what I do regardless of what operating system).

Show HN: FinanceLinx – Curated Directory of 400 Startup Grants and Gov Loans
Its not unambiguous, look at this ballot and tell me who they voted for. It tied a race in Virginia just last year.

https://mobile.twitter.com/virginianpilot/status/94358996960...
FinanceLinx is a curated directory of resources to help you find grants and government loans for your startup. It includes an overview of more than 400 programs, divided among 32 countries. This allows you to raise capital without having to give away equity, or expand an existing business with low or no interest government backed loans. This project is 100% community supported, to preserve impartiality.

I thought it would be good to build a simple and useful site that can help find the right resources to fund your startup. Hopefully FundingLinx will become one of the first sites you look at when you are trying to find startup funding, as we'll add other private capital funding options in the future .

It would be great to hear your thoughts!
Wow, that sounds like it will be great. Thanks.
