The bot is getting it's main force lured back to it's base by hit and runs for it's resource producers. Repeating the same mistake again and again. Later it acts confused and rather have it's main base wrecked than having a high risk fight with it's main force vs the players main force, even though it would auto-lose not doing so.

I've got a feeling these bots have a huge API advantage in "mechanical" skills versus humans. Eg. it has to be way faster to retrieve the "x ability used by y" event than seeing an animation unfold on the screen, leaking intention to bots earlier then human players.
I suspect vertical integration works when your key intermediate manufacturing inputs aren't commodities.

What if your manufacturing outputs are also getting to be commodities? The example I was thinking of was refrigerated cargo containers. The inputs are obviously commodities. The outputs are also getting to the point where the cost of financing to build stock for sale or lease is getting to be onerous for smaller players.
Were Honda to have just discontinued parts that would be one thing. Honda discontinued making parts available for the CRX well before the Jalopnik article. After the Jalopnik article came out I took a look at the situation for the early 90s Accord and it was pretty damn bleak. Aside from some fasteners not much was listed.
This isn’t correct. Once you have an H1B it’s yours for 3 years (plus a 3 year extension). If you lose your job you can use the remaining eligibility for another job, though you may have to do your job search from outside the country.

In addition, USCIS has formalized the general practice that you have 60 days to find another job or leave the country: https://www.uscis.gov/news/news-releases/uscis-publishes-fin...
Me: Article posted is intellectually dishonest because it doesn't mention the possibility of keeping nuclear but shutting down coal

You: Article in fact states that if nuclear were kept online, coal would still be profitable to export

Me: This could have been prevented by public policy

You: Yes, it could have. I don't understand your point, perhaps because English is not your first language (Edit: now deleted)
Very interesting, thanks!
One idea I had was to push "plugin-ability", for example not everybody want to have the Gitlab Pages function, or some might want to completely replace Gitlab-CI by Drone or Jenkins, and all that could help lower the memory requirements. Or maybe I'm wrong?
I have often thought that globalization has often been a means of sending 1st World volumes of manufacturing into places with 3rd World environmental, health, and safety laws. It took us time to build up our EHS standards to their current level, and our volume of manufacturing took time to build up also. If all demand were satisfied in countries with equivalent levels of EHS to the target market, the amount of pollution, etc. would plummet quite a bit just from that alone.

This seems like a non-problem. Your car battery is going to be full when you arrive at the airport. Two extra starts isn't going to cause a problem.
I am loyal to them because they have been loyal to me, and monetary compensation is not top of my priorities, being treated right is.

They knew what has happening, gave me almost two months to get over it (paid, I just didn't have to go into work), and now they've stuck by my I like to think myself a pretty decent SE who's going for SSE next round.

I'm not loyal to the generic idea of a company I've been at for a few years, I am loyal to my current company because time and time again they've proven themselves to reciprocate that loyalty.

I do have a side hustle where I do some small contracting work at £25/hour (my friend who is kind of my mentor in this says I should be charging way more, but this is Northern Ireland and my first gig.)

I do see myself migrating towards my side hustle in the future, but I don't see myself leaving my current company to join another consultancy company, regardless of the money (within reason). My company does a lot of GOV.UK apps so almost all the providers know each other (Kainos, BJSS, Valtech, CapGem, Clarasys etc.)

I can just about afford everything I need and a few things I want, and I'm hoping to be debt free (sans-student-debt) in a year or two.

Also, bearing in mind I am a few months clear of one of the most life-destroying substances in existence I am quite happy to take it slow for a year or two.

I have overdosed and almost died due to pulmonary oedema, really puts things in perspective when you wake up on a gurney with tubes everywhere, no idea where you are, and a pain like you've inhaled a knife-blade.
I am not OP, but suspect he is referencing South China Sea and Taiwan actions. If the PLA is more aggressive, companies will leave more quickly, and the opposite is true.

If you are in a conflict zone, exporting to other countries isn't the way to get rich; selling to the armies is.
It is always weird to me how people refer to these people as monsters, but do very little to stop their actions, and seem to actively support them if it makes their life even slightly easier. Classifying the people who make these decisions as monsters is stupid, because it somwhow makes them seem outliers from the average human moral conduct. They aren't outliers. That is just simply how most humans are or become when they are given a large amount of power.

If we want real change we are going to have to realize that 99.9% of humans are lazy, selfish, and err on the side of evil.
I understand the concern, I'll post less about that from now on. I mean it!

Interesting, I think, that Fukushima was built at a location that had experienced two huge tsunamis within living memory at the time.

Wonder what kind of hand-waving dismissals and assurances were used to sell that project.
That doesn't keep the branch names. It also doesn't help bisect complex merges. Git may be better at that now, to be fair. So many projects rebase or squash that I haven't had to do it in a while.

Mercurial can rewrite history in the same ways as Git.

I never want to see junk commits, but I can't force other people to spend time cleaning them up. Squashing cleans them up quickly but loses useful information.

Ask HN: Devs, how many are using the main skills you were hired for after 1 yr?
It’s almost a joke in the industry that the job description said “MERN stack” but you ended up on their python project 1 month after starting lol. I was hired for Angular but ended up with Elm/Haskell.

So my question is, how many of you were still working with the same technologies they hired you for, 1 year later?
> The difference between a consultant and sales is that the consultant gets paid by the hour, the sales person gets paid by the success of the customer,

I like your attitude about sales, but as a consultant I can tell you I won’t be billing many hours unless I am constantly thinking about how every hour billed helps my client. Clients can tell you tomorrow in an hourly relationship to stop working, so just want to clarify by your definition consulting is constant “sales” (in the sense of proving you give real value for the investment)
This is really good advice that I had managed not to think about before; the people who really helped me number in the double digits and there are well over 1,000 people working where I work, and I doubt they would all be as understanding.
They used to be closer to fibers years ago, when they were running on a single thread by default. Now they behave exactly like normal threads with the same problems. And fibers are threads anyway.

I read this nearly four years ago, and it convinced me (based on a lot of experience with bugs in concurrent code) to dedicate a significant portion of my spare time learning and using Rust: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2015/04/10/Fearless-Concurrency.h...

Rust is in many ways more powerful because of what it can't do than what it can. Good constraints are liberating; they raise the level of what you can trust about your environment.
I think of a little maze for the rats to find the cheddar, which they endlessly repeat just to get more meaningless rewards while never being able to escape the maze. What you describe sounds more like a hamster wheel. Do rats also run on such wheels?

In any case, IMO the streets of SF make a good visual for the OP's definition of rat race.
Do those channels support async? Since C# is built around async/await for scaling to large numbers of connections / tasks, they wouldn't be very useful if they didn't support async, but I'm not familiar enough with modern C# to figure out if they do or not.

The thing about Go is that you're always writing preemptively threaded code, with all of its issues.

The holy grail is cooperative multitasking and always-on, opt-out async [0] if you ask me.

Just preliminary phone interviews I get from recruiters on LinkedIn, I don't take them seriously. It's just always good to keep up with the industry.

Thanks for the offer of talking, I feel pretty secure in myself right now (no desire to use due to the adverse effects it has on literally every factor of my life except feeling really good for a few hours.

If you don't mind a bit of a re-education, Rust allows you to write programs that are as fast as those written in C or C++ and you'll be more confident that they don't have strange memory bugs. (Reason: the ownership model of Rust prevents a lot of bugs that are found in C or C++, but this model also rejects many correct programs, so you need to re-learn how to write some programs.)

Yes! Teams should have a role for someone whose full time job is just that: designing employee compensation.

There is so much money to be made by companies in paying someone for this: think about how much lost productivity there is because underpriced employees aren't bothering to solve problems they have the skills to solve!

Essentially: someone who efficiently uses capital to pay themselves to find ways to give more capital to employees who can efficiently use it. Micro VC I guess you could think of it is? Like each employee is a place to invest capital, and that is inevitably disbursed as higher wages.
The sorting algorithm tends to briefly boost new comments, I think, so they don't get totally buried. Probably nobody had voted on it yet.

If you’re not happy with EF, and don’t mind writing your own SQL, give Dapper a try. I’ve used a variety of SQL ORMs in C# over the last 12 years, but they always seem to fall short for me in some way. I like to be in control and also have nice types, and Dapper is the perfect answer for that.

Yes, you do end up writing some code that a great ORM would just give you for free, but honestly I haven’t felt pain from doing this as it makes me actually think about and set in stone what relationships and models I intend to support in my data layer.
OLLP by itself is not guaranteed to make progress, but it is easy to prevent starvation via exerting more control at the preprocessing layer. The three papers to read related to this subject are:

(1) http://www.cs.umd.edu/~abadi/papers/determinism-vldb10.pdf

(2) http://www.cs.umd.edu/~abadi/papers/calvin-tods14.pdf

(3) http://www.cs.umd.edu/~abadi/papers/determinism-eval.pdf

Aborts due to OLLP are state-based aborts, so other shards fail via the conditional logic described in the blog post.

I'm a big fan of Rust, and seeing that Carmack writes it gives me warm fuzzy feelings.

But this link is mostly content-free, and I don't think it's the type of link that inspires useful discussion. I wish that HN had downvotes on posts, though I suppose it uses several other methods.

There's an activity not on that list, which undoubtedly forms a significant part of the bitstreams. Often isochronic mpeg encoded data. Futurama observed it's a significant part of the internet experience in the future too
I was wondering the same, but I think they probably upgrade after a while. They do get nicer and nicer over the years. I have a Toyota Venza and my next car will likely be the RX, or a Toyota Highlander, though I am leaning more towards the Lexus model. I would keep my Venza but I rather give it to my parents who need it more when I make my switch. I will probably keep the RX as long as possible, unless a reasonable upgrade entices me in the future (all electric / self-driving that doesn't scare me).
2PC requires two network round trips and a global synchronization point. Plus it has the blocking problem and the cloggage problem described in the blog post. The first read of OLLP is before the first lock is acquired, so it doesn't result in any additional cloggage, and definitely no blocking problem.

> its storage and transport remains the biggest (and unsolved) challenge.

It's not 'unsolved' - it's just that it was economically not useful nor necessary nor wanted to store wind electricity in larger scales and this might be the case for another decade. Then we will see more storage coming online.

I live in Northern Germany with some possibility for higher wind electricity production. To store that one way is to build HVDC lines to Norway to store the excess electricity there as hydro power. One line is currently under construction and another one has been planned. The Netherlands is operating such a line to Norway since 2008.

Additionally inside Germany there is more delivery of wind-generated electricity to the south of Germany planned.

It's not 'unsolved' in the sense that we don't know what to do. It's just that storage needs are just starting to increase. Similar to PV solar technology - without a market no investment. Without investment, no market. Germany jump-started the PV solar market with its investments due to Renewable Energy Law. We will see similar effects in the coming decades for storage.
Oof! This is where I am with teaching post-secondary at a non-research institution in California. 6 weeks of Winter and 6 weeks of summer off, with added pay to teach those intercessions? Scheduling classes so I get every Friday off? Yes please!

I still dream of getting into more technical work where I get to solve interesting problems, but figuring out how to best teach a class and reduce equity gaps is a meaningful, interesting problem. If I ever find a different line of work I at a tech company, I worry about having the freedom and flexibility in my current job to raise my family in the same way.

Yes. Often they initially claim that there is many thousands of results but when you get to page 5, it now claims that there is only 47 results (for example).
The table is extremely misleading by not estimating risks for the next 100,000 years.
Nissan vehicles have never been known for their reliability in comparison with Honda/Toyota and Mazda had a long partnership with Ford that included using their powertrains among other things that certainly didn’t help with reliability. The Mazda B series and Navajo were basically indistinguishable from the Ford Ranger and Explorer of the period.
Thanks man, the debt is manageable, just about. I actually need to get on to the credit card companies and claim financial hardship, i'm just a bit wary of admitting addiction to people who will control my life in future.

Comparing to what? It may be underrated comparing to Java. But comparing many other languages, it is not underrated at all. I mean there are more languages which are more underrated than C#.
That entire reply is a great example of "vague connections to AGI".

I hope this AI hype cycle ends soon and funding gets diverted from tech to actual science in the medical field. But I guess that's unlikely. I see no obvious evidence for AI/ML etc to be less of a speculation hype than the already deflating self-driving car hype.

I don't doubt that ML will have its practical application given the amount of effort that is currently put in to it, but I do think it is wildly inflated. Not to mention that the spectrum of what kinds of software that counts as AI seem to get wider for every week.

That the AI hype is more or less entirely confined within an already hyped tech industry doesn't seem to me like a coincidence. An AI revolution hellbent on figuring out how intelligence works would surely include other fields than just tech?
Yes. It's a library that is fully async. We process millions of records/second using these.
You’re going to have to do much, much better than that to convince me that the American ideological worldview is supportive or even tolerant of rape. First of all, I haven’t read any of those books and I’m honestly not going to read them, so you’re going to have to summarize the case they’ve made in support of your wildly outlandish claim. Second, you’re clearly begging the question when you claim that the media treats sexual predators with kid gloves: America has a long and noble tradition of treating the accused gently. Besides, the concern over reputation only goes to show how avidly anti-rape our culture is. It’s widely known that if a man acquires a reputation for being accused of rape or sexual assault, he’s pretty much done, both personally and professionally, regardless of whether or not anything was ever proved. These accusations are taken extremely seriously and are capable of destroying a man because America hates rape and sexual assault.

I’m not sure what to make of your last paragraph. You seem to be saying that the difference between a violent male psychopath and a man who doesn’t respect women as much as he respects men is one of degree and not kind. That’s absurd on its face. In addition, the entire phrase that begins with “generally do” and ends with “‘rape culture’” is a fractal of special definitions, hidden assumptions, and ideology that’s completely divorced from reality.

Cluny musuem du moyen age in Paris is still a fantastic place to visit filled with things, including votive trinkets flung or lost in the Seine. And amazing illuminated manuscripts.

Although that is true, reputation is an intangible asset. There is not really an engineering discipline related to maintaining and asset-managing a reputation (not to anywhere near the same level of rigor as managing, eg, a skyscraper).

You might be underestimating how many high-value assets we are surrounded by that are well maintained and extremely reliable. They tend to blend into the background because there are so many.

Obviously mistakes happen, but the central point here shouldn't be controversial: a rational and greedy agent maintains their assets. Otherwise they sorta get booted out of of the club of people who own assets, because their competition would have similar realised returns and a fully functional asset (if maintenance is possible it is usually a more economic option than building from scratch). If the government is going to obsolete your asset by force, then the agent's decisions will change, but the agent isn't exactly in control of their situation if the government is stepping in.
