You're right, I didn't articulate my point well. I'm not saying that they shouldn't be considered successful if they ever make a mistake, I'm saying that at this point I think Fortnite is effectively a fluke, Minecraft-style, the right game at the right time. IMO we have a sample size of one, they wouldn't be the first devs to strike gold once and fail to replicate the formula later.

I don't really consider Unreal and UT because, while they were definitely successful and I personally love UT, they're the product of a different time. The last truly successful UT was in 2004 (UT3 in 2007 didn't have quite the same long-lasting appeal and even that was 12 years ago!). There's also Gears of War that was quite popular on consoles but again, a completely different formula and nothing remotely close to what Fortnite is achieving today.

Perhaps overall it's dubious, but I was once overtaking a large lorry on a 2-lane section of motorway, so I was between the central crash barrier and the lorry. As I drew level with the front of the trailer / the back of the tractor, the lorry started to drift into my lane.

Braking, I'd have had to avoid all of the trailer, but stamping on the accelerator got me out of his way before the driver realised and corrected to stay in lane.

I'm not saying that power is always the solution, but it's handy to have it in some circumstances.
Very interesting approach, I like the simple, no brainer way to create and share events.

Quick feedback:

- The date and time picker is a bit small to use on mobile, especially the sliders. Also it would be nice to have the end date/time follow the start date/time + a given average duration (1 or 2 hours), saves a bit of tapping around.

- When posting an event URL on Slack, it only shows the description of gath.io, and not a summary of the event, which would be a nice UX touch.

I would imagine you'd be able to simply submit a domain to DDG, they would ask for a txt record or file to be present within the site, similar to a DNS verification tool. Then it would be queued up in a crawler for removal upon verification. Is there something I'm missing?

If it's individual pages, then probably just a meta-tag?

I think robots.txt could be leveraged for this though maybe.
No its still there. You just need to first get access to the Unreal Github repo to be able to see it since its a private repo (by signing up for an UE engine dev, it takes a couple minutes).

This is mentioned on the linked site:

"You will need source access to Unreal Engine on GitHub to get access to the MonoUE fork".

Improbable's story doesn't add up. Improbable acted as if Unity changed their terms overnight, but that's not accurate. This is Improbable's original statement:

https://improbable.io/company/news/2019/01/10/unity-blocks-s...

> Due to a change in Unity’s terms of service (clause 2.4)

The text they're talking about is dated December 5th. This capture was taken while that Improbable blog post was fresh, on January 10th:

http://web.archive.org/web/20190110175721/https://unity3d.co...

So section 2.4 is at least a month old at this point. They said nothing to their customers for over a month? Then they created a storm in a teacup, and a bunch of developers freaked out and took their own games down on their own account without ever receiving any sort of notice with Unity. Improbable intentionally manufactured a panic: none of these game developers were contacted by Unity or asked to take their games down.

Section 2.4 is nearly identical in the February 2018 ToS by Unity as well: http://web.archive.org/web/20180616042117/https://unity3d.co...

So Unity's response (here: https://blogs.unity3d.com/2019/01/10/our-response-to-improba...) that they talked to Improbable and told them they were in breach of the ToS over a year ago is supported by the actual history of the ToS.

Consider a few things: Improbable is not actually an innocent little lamb here: they have raised over $600m of VC money. Their Series B was over $500m: https://improbable.io/company/news/2017/05/11/improbable-rai...

And then there's the other thing: SpatialOS is NOT an open system. The fact that they're playing up their openness is the definition of smarm: the form of virtue without the substance. They have an open source client but the server is not open source. You can't run your own SpatialOS instances. If you integrate their GDK into your game, you can ONLY use their managed services to host your multiplayer server. It's purely a vendor lock-in model, they just pretend to be open source by having open source clients.

None of the articles that have written about this have had anything to say about Improbable's ToS, none have reached out to Unity for comment, and none have reached out to any of the game developers whose games "were affected", when none of the games were issued any sort of notices by Unity and none of the games had any reason to be taken offline. Everything about this story has been driven entirely by Improbable, without any scrutiny whatsoever, but if you look more closely at what's going on, there are a lot of stones to turn over.

Pattern synonyms are really expressive but the complex version is kinda headache inducing:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lens-4.17/docs/src/Contro...

This creates a bidirectional pattern synonym - you can both match and construct values with it:

foo :: Cons' s Char => s -> s
foo (a :< b) = 'c' :< b
foo other = other

Pattern synonyms make completeness checking undecidable so you need to give manual hints to get a nice api. It also wreaks cost models - is foo O(1) or O(n)?
It's amazing how much time and effort some people are willing to spend on make-believe. At least in pro sports and entertainment there's big money on the line.

It's a private repo so you can't see it without Unreal Engine Github access, see my sibling comment for details.
I wish someone would release a good book on Metasploit. Every book and tutorial I've found has been either helpful but too short, out of date, or used an example which you couldn't follow along with (either because they used a feature in the paid for product or because they attacked a vulnerability in an old version of an application that you can't get anymore instead of using a vulnerability already in metasploitable n). In fact, if you want me to buy anything Metasploit related you should probably start by writing that book. Please, write that book, lol. I have no idea how to use your product.
can they also explain why it goes so slow when you wait for lunch? no matter what age you are...
I am a noob at Machine Learning / Deep Learning, started learning recently. I stumbled upon Facebook's Infersent [0] and implemented this project. Infersent works really nice out of the box. For toy projects and experimentations, it is really fun to use it. The actual code which finds the closest match is less than 10 lines of Python.

I also have a demo here - http://35.200.165.252:9999/ I added some questions related to the Udacity's course I was doing. This was a side project for the course. Do note that this demo dataset is very small.

I am unlcear what point you are making. Are you saying the other EU member states should have let one of their own fail?
I don't see the value in having so many organizations. This makes searching things harder. Github has search based features for finding repos you've made. If you have an organization seperating out these, it's no longer a one click search. I use github to search through my old codebases to extract useful code snippets from courses.

You can pin 6 repos on your profile. If you want someone to see those projects, pin it up there. It shows where the repo originated from

If you want to put all your tutorial code together, copy the end results into a /sandbox folder in github, and document the README to summarize how the repo is organized.

Projects that have no relevance / tutorials should just be kept private, you could summarize courses you've done elsewhere. Sometimes I have exposed keys on there that I hadn't set an `env` variable, keeping things private is a good practice against bots

I tend to fork a lot of repos without intending to push a PR, mostly so I can understand how that codebase works, and add my own notations to it. Also, it's to keep a backup for projects I work through other organizations, there's a chance that repo might be deleted down the road. You can always `git pull upstream` at anypoint and grab the latest changes

If you want to show opensource projects you work on → pin it to your account, notate it elsewhere (e.g. portfolio page), and be on the contributor's page for that opensource repo
Emacs is a cult.

Vim is worth learning because it is truly lightweight and you will find it installed on a bare-boned Unix machine. Say you are going to boot the machine up in single user mode and smash /etc/passwd, knowing vi will help with that.

Real developers use Jetbrains IDEs for real work though.

Working on Wine Part 3 Using Wine as a Developer
All fair points. I'm an outsider, so I don't know what a "fair" price looks like, or how that's evolved over time. FWIW, I was looking for single family homes in Summerlin and Henderson. A quick Zillow search indicates plenty of inventory at $500+/sqft; it was at this price point that I found the homes began to compare favorably to other luxury markets around the country.
Fortunately, I have been able to do most of what I want with Blender and Better Collada. But I know that lack of FBX support pretty much makes it a non-starter outside of hobby projects. This also has to factor into a significant labor base that knows Unreal, Unity, CryEngine, Lumberyard...
I would be interested to work in a "10 groups of 10"-shaped company. I've never really encountered one, though, and I think it would be fairly unstable. Example failure mode: someone starts grumbling about "silos", and before you know it there's an effort afoot to standardise some or other technology or practice across the groups. At that point, one of the groups that's gone furthest in terms of formalising/making rules for that area almost always end up winning, and there's a gradual levelling up of process, and thus levelling down of autonomy.
Personal Science and the Microbiome
Assuming that 50-60% of the population of cities is working is probably too high. As a simple example, the third table at https://www.health.ny.gov/statistics/vital_statistics/2016/t... data for New York City for 2016. Total population is 8,537,673. Population under 18 is 1,798,888. Population over 64 is 1,155,075. That's 35% of the population right there.

Some of them might be working, of course. For the kids, this is not likely to be more than 10% (which would be _all_ the 16 and 17 year olds, pretty much). For the seniors, let's guess 33% (pretty much everyone under 70). That leaves 28% of the population in the kid-or-senior age range and not-working and 7% in the kid-or-senior age range and working.

To get to 50% overall working with those assumptions, you need 43% of the population to be prime age and working. The prime age population is 65% of the total. So you need 43/65 = 66% of the 18-65 age population working. But in 2017 (yes, I know, a year later; I haven't found the 2016 equivalent) https://www.osc.state.ny.us/reports/economic/labor-force-tre... claims a labor force participation rate of just about 60% for NYC (see page numbered 14 in the document, page 17 of the PDF). And that's the rate for 25-64, which should be higher than the 18-64 rate, because as the document notes "people between the ages of 16 and 24 are more likely to be in high school or college".

Page 15 of the document (page 18 of the PDF) does show labor force participation rates for 16-24 and 65+ in New York State and our "33%" above for seniors was likely a significant overestimate based on that, though it's hard to tell: NYC labor force participation may not match the overall state very well, obviously.

Anyway, under the (imo optimistic) assumptions above, something like 45% of the overall population of NYC is in the labor force. Or in other words if you ignore the 18% of the population that is children under 15, it's about 55%. So your estimate was pretty close if you ignore the existence of kids...

Or put another way, if the prime-age labor force participation rate is 60%, there's no way that 60% of the overall population is working. Just not possible.
No. According to their website, you can't use it under your eyes.
Fixpoint arithmetic is going to be significantly more efficient than floating point in many cases, except where you need to use relatively-uncommon operations/functions (which are hardware-accelerated in the FPU), or in cases where the same value might span multiple orders of magnitude (i.e. a direct win for the floating point representation). The inner loop of a microcontroller is not generally one of these cases, though exceptions might be out there.

If your are looking towards embedded:

* put a cap between power and ground

* get some nice ESD-birkenstocks

* don't listen to anybody telling you how it's done

The start of the art is BS and we need a revolution. There will be so many people who tell you that you can only do it in C and if you don't, you can't be taken seriously. The result is that everybody is keeping to C and nobody invests time in bringing new ideas to the field. The chip vendors stubbornly ship you really, really bad C SDK's and have no interest in doing better, for reason beyond my comprehension.

As you mentioned Rust - there is a Rust working group for embedded targets and they do cool stuff, but it's hard and a lot of work. Also, hardware is basically a huge block of global mutable state, so that is a problem to wrap ones head around.

But eventually we have to get rid of "C is the only serious option" which is an argument made by people who know how to write "safe" C and perpetuated by people who can't, but act like it.

[Before you react - I know this is an "extreme" statement and it's not 100% accurate and there is much more nuance to it - it is exaggerated for comic effect ;)]
