>There are limitations they put on the AI to try ti restrict to human levels. Such as having an action counter.

Which is exactly why StarCraft is not a very good game to test AI on. It's absurd to put arbitrary limitation on something to make the game "fair" and then pat yourself on the back simply because the algorithm won. If it can already win through pure micromanagement, why

There are tons of strategy games which don't revolve around micromanagement where APM simply doesn't matter. All turn-based games, for example. Or real-time games where building stuff is more important than combat.
>> Statistically speaking 4000 is a good enough number.

It seems to me the GP comment meant that because it was a survey among people who attended GDC it's not representative. If that is why they questioned it, I'd say it's an even more relevant survey, as those are the people who care more about the industry and have more influence. No mater how you slice it, I'd say it's an indicator not to be ignored.

There's also openapi [1], but there's a real social/process challenge in keeping it in sync with the actual implementation. The tools that build on it are great, but there's a lot of surface area to cover when bolting on computer-understanding to an existing api.

GraphQL's approach of mandating introspection means more work in some areas, and far less in others. Searching for the data available in a REST api can be a big issue, for example, depending on the state of the documentation.

If you think your country commits such acts of war crimes, then you should flee your country today.

If you are not building the missiles, you are paying taxes that go to buy those missiles to blow up school buses.

I never bought the right to repair cry. I'm a tinkerer - always have been - and an iPhone owner. I bought my phones and knew what I was getting into. I don't think I've ever thrown away any of my old 'unrepairable' tech - I've mostly passed it on to relatives, traded it in, or recycled it. There are all kinds of way to mitigate junk in the environment and you can always...... just not buy.

It's incredibly hard to build a successful product. Just look at the Pebble or other Kickstarter graveyard entries. I would never in my right mind tell Apple to build anything - if I could, I'd be richer than them. I know they have their reasons for designing things the way they do. As a consumer, I am thankful for amazing tech that pretty much works as expected. Telling them how to build their amazing products, which would just make them worse, is the pinnacle of narcissism.
Videogames, in particular, should be a fascinating case study in lack of unionization.

I assume it's because there's always another batch of fresh-out-of-college young people willing to throw their bodies onto that grindstone that we haven't yet seen successful unionization in that space?
As someone who's been in the game industry a while, I can see where this is coming from. This is not about software devs, it's a special challenge specific to game devs where the lower pay and higher overtime expectations really affect people's lives. This is then made worse as studios keep closing down, because people will put up with more bs than usual for job stability.

No idea if unions are the solution, but this is definitely an issue specific to the game industry right now.
Indeed a big difference. I would gladly accept this kind of graphics for 60 fps on a low end laptop, too bad it's not an option.
Your argument is legal and my argument is moral =P
Not talking about some abstract ideas. Me personally, as a foreigner, with an unrelated degree, with low language skills, shaky immigration status, flexibility to pick where to give up something to get a job benefited tremendously.

To put it another way - being able to allow being exploited allowed me to secure a better future. Without this ability, I would unlikely to have a life as good as I have it now.

Today I am in the position where labor union, some mandatory certification, would be a benefit to me. But I do remember where I started and would hate the idea of having barriers to get into this job. But my kids, or grandkids, if they will be in IT, probably forget these hurdles and will happily vote for regulation/laborisation/certification/etc.
I've never heard of this happening but why would you want to keep using them anyway?
let me try to help you fill the data you assumed with concrete examples.

>Except in 2016

In 2016 the national polls were very close to the final result--within a couple points. Remember that Clinton won the popular vote.

State polls were less accurate, but the general consensus is they were wrong due to undecided voters breaking more for Trump than is normal in the final few days--after the final state polls were conducted.

That being said, your point stands. Sample method is generally more important than sample size, and 4,000 game devs who self selected to attend a conference is very unlikely to be a representative sample.

I don't see any material online indicating that programs written for one-instruction-set-computers are more parallelizable than programs written for traditional computers. In fact, here is someone claiming the opposite:

That would be an interesting development. It means that either:

- is it illegal to not have 2FA; I’m not against that, but it feels… excessive;

- every website, including small irrelevant ones, with a password (like HN) needs to crawl the darker internet to check for leaked lists of email/passwords; that would make those unsavoury forums crawl with solution vendors; it would also make it illegal to not find the most obscure ones; in other words, a non-option;

- ban the use of any password listed on https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords which feels more manageable, but… does the service offer an API?

Which one feels the most likely to happen in the short term?
Updates can improve on the error messages, making them more clear, the error code does not change but the message changes.

Also many times the error message is interpolated with your specific details like

"Syntax error at line 123 in file /home/user/myfile , symbol X is not allowed here" this is a silly example but often enough when i google this errors I have to first strip out my data from them.

You've a contradiction in your statement. If I get a positive ROI tomorrow on those $50k, it's fine on paper. But if it turns out that a large chunk of the ad spend went to fraudsters without me having any idea it did, such as what happened with P&G [1], what's to stop the latter from doubling down on their activities? (The real losers here are genuine publishers like news outfits, btw.) And how do I know it's the $50k ad spend rather than what the content team has been up to in the past month? Or that the $50k wouldn't have been better spent on SEO efforts or on PR outreach?

Because neither side really has an interest in you as a juror determining things yourself, they want jurors who can be accepting of their narrative, be they prosecution or defense.
> Technically no, but practically it does, so long as massive corporations exist

That's an interesting assertion that you seem to be accepting as universally axiomatic.

(... or perhaps, a self-referential definition. Maybe a company isn't "massive" until one observes behaviors that suggest the company is purposefully acting counter to employee quality-of-life wishes?)
This is possible, if you are having issues, it is likely you apt repo tooling, not apt itself.

I use aptly and rely on this everyday.
Because it'd be better to legislate that full time employees (even management) be granted a paid full day off for each 5 hours over 40 worked in a single week. That can either be paid out at the end of the pay period or accrued for later use. If a company has "unlimited" vacation, those days of overtime must be paid out by the end of the next pay period.

As much as I prefer not to have government involved in much of anything, it's far simpler and far easier to legislate than to attempt to unionize. Unions tend to under-serve their average and above average members and is often not worth it. In the end, most would be happy to be compensated for personal expense and mandated overtime.
But it misses the point I was originally making. I was not suggesting they are mutually exclusive.
> Second, it's a bit delusional to say most serious musicians can easily afford 22k Euros on what is essentially an experimental piano.

Never said anything of the sort so I am not sure who you are arguing with. I said that it was not surprising for a serious musician to spend 20k+ on an instrument. I think that's a reasonable statement for some definition of "serious." In any case, my general point is that in the world of fine instruments 20k is not an absurd number to hear.
>In the private sector, teachers get paid much better and have the freedom to actually run their classroom in the way they see fit.

While this might be true wherever you are from, it is definitely not universal. Every US state I have lived in has been the opposite.

At a private school, the advantages to teachers are the student base is self-selected and can be expelled, and the school can teach things a public school cannot (often religious).

At a public school, pay, benefits, and job protections are much better.

Being able to "run your classroom the way they see fit" is a school-by-school work culture thing, but a teacher with more job protections would always have more leeway in how they ran their classroom. A teacher working at-will could never truly run their classroom the way they saw fit, because "do X or you're fired" is always a possible ultimatum.
For whatever reason, season passes are immoral and greedy while expansion packs are totally fine.

This is absolutely not true. You might be confusing median tenure with turnover rate, but those are drastically different things; especially so in a company that’s growing.

I mentioned what the site _is_. Not what it should be. This is a forum to promote discussion and increase awareness. If that is no longer the case, we'll all be better off moving discussion to another forum. As I was left only to guess why my comment was downvoted, I inserted that guess into an _edit_ to my comment. I've since removed it since I came to the same realization that it didn't promote civil discussion.

In honesty, I appreciate your suggestions for how to avoid comments which are "frowned upon". Truly. However, you are presuming that I care if my comments are frowned upon. I don't. My aim is to promote discussion and increase awareness and understanding - even if that means offending a person or two.

Thank you for your feedback, however. It is appreciated.

I don't know what the stack you're working with looks like, but authentication can be done the same way as a REST API would - wherever you have your top-level handler that receives the HTTP request can accept/reject the request if it is invalid. So for example, you'd use the same express middleware you would normally if that was your stack. Its a bit simpler to wrap your head around from that perspective if you just think of it as any other POST request.

Authorization, that is, allowing users access to some things but not others, is more complicated and of course bespoke to your application. The simple solution is to simply check context in individual resolvers, which ends up looking a lot like a normal Express/Flask/Sinatra app.

There is a graphql-middleware package that helps structure "middleware" resolvers, and a graphql-shield package that helps with more complicated role-based logic.
It is a little disappointing that Mana's win was achieved in part by simply exploiting Alphastar's poor response to the immortal drops by doing it over and over again.

Personal opinion, the general guidance I give to teenaged kids of friends:

The best way is to choose to do it because it actually interests you, not just because you want the money. You can get a job with the degree despite the glut of graduates. Just accept that you may not always be getting the $150k/year starting salaries you sometimes hear about.

But if CS is only of passing interest and you have other majors you're considering:

I wish more people would minor in CS, rather than major in it (NB: Not all schools have a good CS minor program even if they have a good CS major program). I have a lot of engineer friends (from my professional career or my time in school) who have little programming skill, but find themselves increasingly needing to program. Even the first 5 CS courses in most programs (versus the first 1-2, at best) would make them 10-100x more effective in their jobs.

A former colleague (EE) wrote test analysis software (we were both doing verification and validation work) that took minutes to analyze the data. My slightly improved version resulted in getting execution time down to seconds in the worst case (500MB file being processed). The improvement didn't need more understanding of programming than a 2nd year CS major would have, but he didn't have it because he'd taken literally one programming course (and never programmed again, except for small matlab things). I've seen similar things from aerospace and other engineers. Their code is usually correct, but often inefficient. Or they lack an understanding of the underlying memory model of a language like C and try to do impossible things (that, again, a 2nd year or so CS major ought to know).

So: Stay the course with CS if it is of real interest to you. Otherwise, look to double major or minor and use your CS skills to stay ahead of others in your discipline.

Excuse me? Video games are software by any definition I'm aware of and highly complex software at that. More than most, software engineers on AAA video games need to have an understanding of the full stack including the underlying hardware to be effective contributors.

What is the skill gap that a software engineer working in games would have moving elsewhere? The only one I think of would be domain experience in TDD and unit testing. Neither is widely practiced in game development, but they aren't universal for software development more generally either.
Intellectual property reform is wayyy overdue. The DMCA needs to be reworded to provide stronger protections to creators. The timetables need to be reduced.
Historically anti trust laws in the united states considered unions as potential trusts that the government would be able to break up. However, they later repealed that piece because it's completely absurd. Even the most powerful union is unable to form a trust in the way that companies can do in order to systemically underpay workers.
Agreed.. thank you for being aware of these issues. I find the tech industry to be pretty toxic & corrupt overall, usually rewarding the employees that are the least ethical.

Interesting article but the article does not say how much was Lapis Lazuli was worth vs gold. The author gets away with "... often prized over gold...". If Lapis Lazuli was valued only once over gold in its entire history, then statement is true, which isn't really useful info. Click-bait title much?
The production value behind those "bare bones" titles is still magnitudes larger than what you had back then, while the "play time" is at least comparable.

Statistics show that most people never finish the games anyway (I certainly don't) so it's only fair that those people who must really play everything pay extra.
They are stupidly obsessed with "everything is a search" philosophy and end up irritating users and on occasion disgracing themselves - for example today if you click through their own link for "S&P 500 Index" on Google Finance, they translate that to a search for the term "INDEXSP: .INX" and fail with "Your search - INDEXSP: .INX - did not match any finance results." Works for Dow Jones and other indexes.

Other examples that bother me: randomly, I don't see my flights in the Google Assistant on my Pixel. I then have to type "My flights" in the search box to see them. Same for weather, hotel bookings, etc.

I disagree. I've served on 5 juries, and everyone had a fairly healthy questioning attitude towards both sides.

There were acquittals in 3/5, mostly on the basis of the prosecution doing a poor job of questioning their police, or the police playing dumb for reasons unknown. In one case it was hard to acquit as I think the defendant committed a serious crime, but the prosecution case sucked.

I'd love to see the differences between counties and type of defense representation and jury selection. How much of this is due to awful public defender practices or other abusive practices?

The public defender is key as jury selection is critical.
