This is the result of tinkering; presumably someone who knows what they're doing could achieve better results.

Hello! I worked on this feature and wrote the post. I'd love to hear any feedback or answer any questions.
> this is just a taste of why all gamedev is hard.

I feel like everything is easy, until it isnt.

CSS is easy, until you have one tiny annoyance on a front page feature.

Embedded is easy, until you need to buy a component that works only 99% of the time.

Full Stack is easy until you finally connect the front end and backend's auth.

Automation is easy until there is an update and it breaks your program.

All of this stuff is preventable with time/effort, but someone needs to do it.

There is a reason that I've started multiplying my estimates by 3, then by another 3 because getting a working system is good, but getting a perfect system is necessary.
Will this:

docker run -d --name sdns -p 53:53 -p 53:53/udp -p 853:853 -p 8053:8053 -p 8080:8080 sdns

Give me a secure DNS box or do I have to do the TLS myself with say let’s encrypt?
Open https://abc.xyz/investor/other/google-code-of-conduct.html and ^F "evil".

You should verify your facts before repeating provably false information.
My gut feeling is that this is right. Some devs really do seem to have little respect for "code on the ground", and the problem is magnified in places without any DevOps culture / a sense of developer responsibility towards operations (ie, Devs who won't do oncall or refuse to write RCAs).

I think it stems from a culture where people want strive to adopt the most "elite" way of doing things (ie, running Kubernetes for everything, because Google) because it lets them show they're capable and knowledgeable, and nobody is going to say Google is doing it wrong. The downside to this is that cheaper, faster, and more practical solutions get thrown aside as "hacks" because they don't scale to google level. When really, a lot of places don't need that kind of scale, and having too much complexity can be a risk of it's own. I'm not saying scalability isn't important, it can be critical for some things, but I rarely see devs give the same attention to usability or monitoring in their designs (there are lots of misconceptions that using orchestration solves monitoring, when really it can make it harder if you don't plan for it up front).

So I say let google and co worry about impressing people, and just spend your time on making things that solve problems. And maybe, in OPs case, (this may be unpopular) you don't have to share everything you write, especially if it's not something that solves a problem for other people. Put it on your github and resume, but if it's not solving real problems, it's just for your learning.
I have no practical experience with SAP HANA. But I’m a sysadmin and I’ve been to conferences where SAP has had stands and I have a tendency to ask too many questions.

SAP HANA is an in memory database. That’s all it is. It’s similar to Qlikview if you’ve used that. It’s licensed per socket, so scaling up is better than scaling out.

SAP will also host HANA for you, for a fee.

See. The thing is: SAP is a company for HR departments. The kinds of departments that aren’t technical, do not have technical staff to develop thing for them. (It’s an example) but your HR department talks to SAP, they deliver some service, sometimes something that the barely tech-literate members of HR is able to build on and then suddenly your sysadmins have to support those things in perpetuity.

Well. They market themselves as this anyway. And I have experience of our HR department buying all kinds of stuff from SAP and their child companies. (Concur, for example).

So I understand your incredulous-ness. This company is not made for us. And most of their tech isn’t either.

Personally I don't like those post, and thus I might seem overly critical. The more they show up here the less I actually spend on the site since it doesn't have the stuff I am looking for.

An even more direct comparison might be something like "I read that book," which has two different meanings that are pronounced differently but spelled the same.
It's not something that RH says you could so there you go.
You can't just pull one system out and put a new one, specially Fedora, this would be equivalent of pulling a rug from underneath someone standing on it, who knows you might be lucky, just try it.

SUSE on the other hand encourages switching after the introduction of LEAP 15, in other words it's supposed to be trivial to do.
Wow, I'm usually the one correcting grammar. Good catch!
This was a very inspiring talk - makes me want to try. Thanks!!
> Having a large successful project in clojure is lovely, but much of the community’s concern around it is that its hard to maintain, and falling in popularity, broadly speaking.

What community? The larger software community or the clojure community. I personally see no logical reason why a "large" clojure project would be harder to maintain then say a java, python, ruby, javascript, etc.. project. If anything, the guiding principles that make Clojure a well designed language at the micro level should have an exponential effect the same way poor decisions do.
Hey Everyone,

We are excited to have Gravity open sourced!

Gravity powers many production on-premise deployments for several years by now, and we hope it will be helpful to the community as well!
In agricultural societies, for example, men and women work together on the farm. They might have slightly different jobs and roles, but for the most part they work side-by-side. Men heading off to work while women tend the home is actually the exception to the historical trend.
If "they" refers to the D Language community, there's nothing that they can do. The AV vendors are the ones doing it, and they don't care.
I support this comment.

> Sure enough, Savage Love and its equivalents at every conceivable type of publication are considered “undignified reading material” carrying “a whiff of shame,” writes Jessica Weisberg

An ironic (and unsubstantiated) claim from amateur anthropologist Jessica Weisberg.
Unless you have thousands of fired and promoted employees, it may easily end up "Sorry, most of our promoted employees are Indians, because they were our founder's close friends and joined earlier, and that one guy fired for flirting with a customer was the only one from UIUC. Your name doesn't sound sufficiently Indian and you graduated from UIUC. Bye."

Worse, the person who looks at the rejection decision may have no idea that it boils down to this.
I can't recommended starting with a paper & pencil game highly enough. I did this myself recently and _actually got somewhere_, in contrast to the many times I had started with the computer programming part.

Here is my first result:

https://www.friendlyskies.net/notebook/free-pen-paper-rpg-ga...

It isn't amazing or anything, just a downloadable PDF with rules--but it's mine, I learned how to do it, and I love getting clobbered every time I play. I can also very easily see how to program it should I decide to do so.
That argument is backwards. If marijuana is illegal for the stated reason that it has negative health affects, then everything that has worse affects should also be illegal.
Bricking your iPhone for a week-plus is not the equivalent of popping a party balloon or a short dose of UV light!

And yes, I get it, the sensor exists to detect for threats to life, not threats to iphones. But that's the point: this is a threat we're not set up to watch for at all -- hence why it took so much investigation to root-cause it!

Are you still going to make it your hill-to-die-on that it's "not disturbing"?

Come to think of it, did that "lack of faith" scene in Star Wars (1977) also seem confusing to you?
So, Lassen looks to be a 'mini Sierra' with ~20% performance but can be used for unclassified jobs, whereas Sierra is only for classified work, right?
> To bid a man live quietly is to bid him live happily. It is to advise him to be in a state perfectly happy, in which he can think at leisure without finding therein a cause of distress. This is to misunderstand nature.

If there is anything I'm suspicious of, it's claims of "nature" as regards people, our feelings, and our habits. And of course, even supposing the above is correct regarding our nature, there are plenty of situations in which we are not content to simply accept our nature as it is.

I think it's worth learning how to be happy living a quiet life. Reading about taoism helped me with this but I'm sure there are plenty of other routes. The reason I think it's worthwhile is pretty much the flip side of what Pascal is saying here- most of the pursuits we engage in are just diversions, at their core there really isn't much to them. Recognizing that can help one enjoy them (somewhat paradoxically), but also help ease the sense that one should be "doing something", accomplishing, raising status, etc.
This is the plot of the Trunks storyline in Dragon Ball Z.
Frog boiling. “Trump is president, and a third of our country supports him, so he’s gotta be at least sort of mainstream and acceptable. And we can’t go around banning mainstream and acceptable things.”

The underlying premise is wrong, but many people no longer seem to recognize it. This is how the fringe builds power until it’s too late to stop them.
Leadership as a Type B Introvert
I saw parts of the codebase while I was there. It definitely has dark corners. But given it's size and the complexity of the problems it's solving it's wasn't that bad.

Of course at any given time while I was there the team was running several different refactor/fix/delete/cleanup projects. It's a continuous and well funded effort.
Not OP, but I'd agree fully as long as we're talking about management (well-compensated staff). Musk has been operating under the motto the end justifies the means and he’s getting a ton of flack for this from the left. Personally, I am slightly more ambivalent, after all both Tesla and SpaceX are not renown for their good work-life balance, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone who wants to work there. (Just to be clear, I do sympathise with the low-paid staff in the Tesla factories, and think they should be given better working conditions; some of the stories coming out of there are appalling).
No One is Crazy
How much does this depend on the data type? I.e. do you need people to specify: this is an image, this is a resume, this is an English resume, etc. Could you ever get to a point where you can just feed it general data, not knowing more than that it's 1s and 0s?
Happy to see more work based on prediction. I've been of the opinion that predictive rewards should largely bypass the hand-tuned rewards we have been using for reinforcement learning so far, or at least speed up learning by providing a much richer signal to use for training.
HANA was in the first instance a in memory database - at least partly invented by SAP. Because SAP marketing pushed "in memory" so much, all of the SAP employees believed that HANA was the solution to all problems with SAP software. Therefore SAP named all of its products SAP HANA .... Like SAP HANA Cloud Platform, SAP HANA Cloud Integration, etc. Those products were not even related to the in memory database. It's all marketing bullshit and SAP has even taken a few steps back as too many customers were disappointed.

Ultimately I think the HANA database is an overhyped in-memory database. The reason they make money with HANA is that they are successfully replacing Oracle Databases for their SAP on-premise customers.
So how long would you expect books bound this way to last?
I took some pictures of the ones I've made for reference: https://imgur.com/a/60zP8vn .
So far, none of them have come apart but I'm pretty careful with my books.
> What is missing in much of the recent discussion about engaging with the Pentagon is the simple fact that there probably wouldn’t be a Silicon Valley as we know it without government defense contracts.

Times change. The DoD is not what it used to be, and neither is the technology being developed. When the DoD was funding SRI and Douglas Engelbart, as I understand it, that money was going to "basic research". So the money was flowing, and the researchers could go in whatever direction seemed the most promising.

Now, the contracts are more specific, and what the DoD wants has transformed from something like "do what thou wilt" into "do what we say."

The government nowadays is always trying to do "another manhattan project", but the trouble with that is that during the original manhattan project, our country had the moral high-ground -- because we were fighting actual nazis -- and that was the entire reason that the best and brightest minds of that generation were able to come together to work on the bomb.

But anyone who, today, thinks that our country has the moral high-ground is either 1) closer in their thinking -- ideologically -- to the original nazis, or 2) they just stepped out of a time machine from the 1940s.
It is also a social thing, young people smoke not because it is a mental issue but because it is cool, their freiends smoke so they try it. If the movies,music will show that is cool and the risk of smoking pot is small then getting the truth out-there will be expensive. Some rich business makes tons of money and the society needs to pay for studies, education, health treatments.
> However, all these men, dogs, and guns cannot really seize digital currencies in the general case.

They don't have to. Judgements are not necessarily scoped to the digital currency. If someone wins a judgement over a dispute about a smart contract, they will probably present exactly your argument. The judge can instead enter orders against bank accounts, crypto exchange accounts (yours or the exchange's), against your harddrive with cryptocoins on it, garnish your wages, exercise your options even at a loss, seize or place liens on property, seize passports, hold people in contempt etc etc.

All of which will be enforceable by men and women with guns and dogs.

Leaving the alternatives of: obey the actual law and make good in some other way, or disobey the actual law in favour of "smart contracts". Good luck with that.
I've never heard of it until reading this article!

Duetsche Bank counts a metric ton of Director's haha. I noticed it when clicking through LinkedIn.
Of course, the original Rogue game had an elegant design solution: Rooms are fully visible when you enter them. Passages have a simple distance fog. Some rooms are marked "dark" and also use distance fog. And you can only shoot in the same directions you move in so there is no raycasting needed for projectiles either.

You can implement a solution like that in a few hours and move on. And that's how it tends to work as an experienced game dev: you don't commit to any "real solution" until at least the second go-round, cause you need the context of the whole design to do it properly anyway.

Only by reducing “master” to nearly meaningless as a distinct term. I’m not sure what the conversation gains from that.

I guess I got lucky. I quit cold turkey after smoking consistently for 3 years. 2 of those years, I was smoking a pack and a half a day. After about 3 weeks I wasn't craving it anymore and somewhere around the 6 month mark, I found the taste of a cigarette disgusting. I might have part of a cigarette once or twice a year when I go out drinking but I haven't bought a pack of cigarettes in about 8 years.
That line of thinking is so alien to me. Does it apply to any time you go looking for goods or services? Do you go online for advice in complying with tax codes because your accountant wants you to get audited and need their services, do you make all your own food because the restaurant chefs want you to leave hungry so you have to order another serving, do you avoid the doctor since if you get better you won't come back into the office?

I think this just speaks the the modern trend of anti-intellectualism. Distrust of an expert because of phantom biases and the regression toward getting advice from your "tribe".
No, I was going based off my memory of this 2015 article, which summarizes the evidence and expert opinions:

https://www.nature.com/news/the-myopia-boom-1.17120

In particular, my article discusses randomized experiments and the opinion of multiple disagreeing experts. Your article (also from 2015) is a meta analysis of observational studies on the correlation between near work and myopia, not the overall question of myopia origins. As far as I can tell, I don't think they try to test whether light exposure is the underlying cause, nor does you article claim represent the opinions of anyone besides the three authors.

I welcome links to more recent and comprehensive reviews, though. I definitely don't think this case has been closed.
I love Clojure! It's honestly the best language ever.
The users of an open source project I started often give great feedback and appear to love it.

But a very small minority like it enough to donate to support the development efforts, even though it is saving them significant amounts of money and time.

It’s not about living in the burbs. The average developer could also live in a smaller condo in the center of the city in most metro areas.

The point is more that it seems like people in the bubble think that a developer living in a major metro area outside of SV making in the low six figures is somehow living in squalor barely making ins meet when they can live where they want in most cities and save - especially if they are a part of a two income household.
Artelino.com is one of the best sites to purchase at (recommended to me by the creator of ukiyo-e.org).

I got into woodblock prints just because I happened to see a great exhibit at the Honolulu Museum of Art. Before that they all sort of looked the same to me.

Browse the artelino listings and find stuff that you like. Values for woodblocks tend to not really go up or down, so buy them just because you like looking at them.

The moment 1/3 of your neighborhood in "downtown" area is heavily looted and internet is turned off completely(2005) or unidentified groups of people with AK shooting near your house(2010) is when you are involved despite your desire.

I almost did as well, and then I saw that they are equipped with the "Y" series of CPUs, so extremely underpowered 5W-limited series that normally goes in the basic Macbook or fanless tablets. It looks like they have completely neutered the CPU in the Air, where it no longer is a machine intended for anything more than light web browsing. It really shouldn't be called an Air - more like Macbook XL(Or Max, or whatever the current nomenclature is).
I can't down vote you but this type of comment is heartbreaking. People are dying, freedom is being restrict and you make a comment totally out of context and out of respect for the subject. This is sad, just sad...
Exactly my experience. I downloaded a large archive of demoscenes. It lead to a lot of "fun" with Windows Defender.

Just my imagination: If a malicious attacker would like to "convince" a victim to turn off the antivirus software, I can imagine this might be a good starting point how to annoy the user sufficiently.

Show HN: Cyber-forensics for public PCs using ML to detect hate speech, threats
This is a digital forensics project I've been working on called OLAF which is designed to provide forensic evidence in investigations of using library or other public-facing PCs to send hate speech, violent threats, "swatting", IP exfiltration or infiltration, or to commit any other type of computer-enabled crimes or malfeasance. The project uses OCR, NLP, and computer vision to create high level logs of the PC's interactive usage that can be used in investigation or detection of dangerous or criminal activity.

Demo vid 1: https://youtu.be/F6k2PC-7WQw

Demo vid 2: https://youtu.be/-N2Qftl26Mw

Project repository: https://github.com/allisterb/OLAF

The raw data OLAF uses is logged in disparate places in one form or another (like in your PC or ISP or web server logs) and OLAF just tries to do real-time analysis of the available data in one place. No PII is ever intentionally logged and it is up to the org to link PC user accounts and identities to people.

Of course privacy is a big concern here and the organizations using a tool like OLAF have to walk the line between protecting the privacy of their users and adhering to the relevant laws vs. being able to quickly detect and investigate potentially serious threats to people's safety. Guidelines like those from NISO (https://www.niso.org/publications/privacy-principles) should be adhered to as much as possible.

The two sibling replies to my own do a good job of enumerating the reasons;

- Macros allow you to greatly reduce boilerplate.
- Lots of built in functions that operate on very few types.
- Compact intertop

And I agree with wild_preference that this isn't necessarily a good vs. bad debate. It is just a matter of fact that Clojure is concise.
That's like asking why you should correct false data on your personal credit report. It's someone else's computer database, not yours! (Or maybe a better analogy would be "Why should I ask Google to stop marking my legit domain as spam and hiding emails to my users? It's their system!")

Software developers have to lobby on their own behalf so their software fits into larger ecosystems seamlessly. Or deal with angry users.

Buddy, I'm already a vegetarian. I was hoping rhetoric would lead to some critical introspection, rather than perpetuating the buck passing stereotype...

Ethics is completely subjective. Slaughter isn't for me, but there are other ethical axioms that lead to rational support of the practice. It is not inherently bad.

You cannot sway people's opinions by starting with complete disregard for their opinions, or without a thorough understanding of your own rationale.
