It's an article on "Forbes sites", though. It's the equivalent of sort-of-trusted bloggers. Seems Forbes really don't care about their online brand anymore.
Lots of things (a) exist, and (b) appear to provide sufficient value to people, and yet are either totally superficial or deleterious.

(a) and (b) are some of the lowest of bars. Even ISIS passes those, along with tons of other things (deep fried Mars bars, for one).

The parent made a qualitative argument and/or value judgement. Mere existence doesn't negate it, arguments why his values are bad, or shouldn't be taken into account, might.
I use hn.algolia.com as a more reliable source to look for info & opinion on a lot of things a lot more than I use google.

I feel like there ought to be a google competitor now that google is so crappy.
The article forgets to define the terms its using, I think the author means Amazons EKS service vs. running your own k8s on AWS VMs - not sure.

Could also be that they compare AWS vs. GCP, but I'd dont think so.
That's not really a lock-on. The "tube" level of multiplayer stack can usually be abstracted away even easier than graphics API (and almost no modern game engine supports less than at least two of those). Just compose a packet of a reasonable amount of bytes, configure a connection overall profile (reliable/unreliable, which usually, but not necessary, maps to TCP/UDP), and you're done.

I'd be much more afraid of vendor lock-in that actually runs throughought your code base and shapes it.
I do wonder if there was a devops feature built on top of this.

Methods to Get High Rating Players in FIFA 19
1.You can go to the market to buy the little monster with great potential and improve the overall strength of the team. Considering buying some players with better data and comprehensive ability in 77-79 in the early stage. When most players get enough FIFA coins, you can sell them at a proper price, so you can earn coins. Searching the market and see if there are any cheap players. Learn to predict what player cards will appreciate, usually use players to play real-time games, and experience what players are better to use; In addition to gold coins, funds must be circulated. If there is a low price, it will be collected. If the price is almost the same, it will be thrown. You don’t need to wait for the price of the apex to sell. Because there is a waiting process, you may have earned several pens.
2. Open FIFA packs on the site whose packs available directly , many sites offer FIFA packs, not just EA's own site. For example, FIFACOIN.com, FUTBIN.com and CDKEYS.com, if you open the packs on FIFACOIN.com, you can find their packages as follows:

You only need to spend 38K coins will get a chance to get Neymar 93, you also can find that the packs of this site is updated synchronously with EA, so why not do so. But opening a package has risks. You can get a player with a high rating by opening a package, or you may not get a low rating player. It all depends on your luck. If you have a strong acceptance of risk, you better have a try. Good luck to you.
3. If you trade player cards in the market is troublesome and get high risk of opening packs, then there is another way you can choose, buy enough FIFA 19 coins directly, buy the players you like and want, but need you rich enough. We all know that the price of g2a is very high, and the price of the coins on some coins site is cheaper enough. I spend the same money only get half of coins on g2a. Why not buy some on coins site.
Here are 10 sites supply cheap and safe FIFA 19 coins:
In comparison, Stardew Valley, a small indy game, also released in 2016 has 4x as many playing but had almost no marketing budget, didn't appear on national television in interviews and certainly didn't get the same hype, but did deliver what he promised and delivered a rock solid game at launch.
Modern games have a problem that I believe is a direct consequence of consoles. The lack of a server browser.

Just let me choose a server to which I have a good connection and I will be much happier. Instead of dropping me in games with random people all the time with random connection issues.

One of the main reasons I don't play fps on the consoles is missing this. (And there are social advantages of playing with the same 'random' people as well).

Having a server browser does not solve all issues mentioned in his presentation, but it does at least inform the player of the connection before they join a game.
Realistically, if you spent 20 hours developing the app, you're already $3000 invested on this project. Another $100-$500 isn't THAT big of a deal when you look at it in those terms

Elephants seem to understand pointing without being trained. It's possible that they point too.

> We suggest that success was not due to prior training or extensive learning opportunities. Elephants successfully interpreted pointing when the experimenter’s proximity to the hiding place was varied and when the ostensive pointing gesture was visually subtle, suggesting that they understood the experimenter’s communicative intent.

I got curious about how tiny the SE is (I never had an iPhone) so I compared it [1] to my beloved Lumia 620 (RIP power button) and my current Moto Z2 Play. And wow, I totally get the feeling.

For me it's not even about one-handed use, I can reach the opposite corner just fine with one hand, but the bulge in my jeans' pocket is really uncomfortable, the corner of the phone pinches my leg and you have to rearrange the brick inside the pocket quite often or it hurts when walking.

I'm this close to replacing this huge thing.

Implicit in your sentence is however an assumption that there was any life comparable to today's during the "billions of years" which is false. More than just 500 million years ago there were not even plants on the land:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_plant_evolution

So it's simply wrong mentioning "billions of years" when humans worry for the environment in which they can live while depending on it.

For most of the "billions" of years on Earth, there wasn't anything on land, and the "life" in oceans was not something we understand as today's life, and the environment could not support our life (as in, there was not even enough oxygen!). The Earth started to "resemble its present state" only less than 400 million years ago:

Human civilizations exists only less than ten thousands of years, during which the climate was very stable (until the recent human influences):

Usage of GAAP is entirely up to the company. It might choose to not use GAAP policies on revenue recognition and expenses. Many non-public companies chose to do that if it means they can show their revenues growing faster than it actually is.

One of the example of this was Groupon. When they filed for IPO they were using gross sales as their revenue. And then deducting money paid to their partners as expense. SEC had to step-in and ask Groupon to restate their P&L statement so that the top line was net revenue instead of gross.

That's very much my feeling. Linux has a history behind and some design decisions made for a wide range of devices a long time ago. Google has the kind of money necessary to build an OS from scratch in order to power their devices (Android, Chromebook, Google Home), whilst other mortal beings have to put up with one of the existing choices.
I think it's pretty clear that AWS is happy for you to use their services in all manner of ways, using heavy AWS-proprietary services or not. Nothing wrong particular with "lift-and-ship" as they call it when you migrate on on-prem app mostly unchanged.

At least this is my impression.
Falsifying information to trick a company into doing something illegal (collecting data on a minor) for personal gain (ability to use service) sounds like fraud to me.

> Rust is still young. I think it's a bit naive to proclaim the language of the future is here.

I never claimed that Rust is the language of the future. I didn't say it directly but I think you can deduce it from my comments that I consider a multi language approach more sensible than using the same programming language for everything.

Using Rust is more safe than using C. That's valuable.

> So, what's the point of Rust again? To protect us from all these security holes? Wasn't that also the goal of other languages?

Are you saying that just because Rust doesn't solve all problems it isn't worth having? You're also conflating stuff.

The Ariane 5 explosion was not a programming error, it was a testing and specification error. The code worked exactly to the spec but the spec was for another piece of hardware. You can't use a fork and complain that it's not a good spoon.

How about quantifying the bugs in the JRE against all the buffer overflows in similar C code? 600 CVE worthy bugs in 10 years doesn't sound like that much if you put it that way.

> TIOBE says C is second most popular language after Java even with all the security holes. So there's a lot of "we" (though I don't code in C).

The TIOBE index has some issues. It is essentially counting hits for a search engine query for a specific language. I would rephrase it as "C has the second most webpages on the internet."

On PYPL it is only the 6th popular language, although coupled with C++.

Nevertheless there is still demand for C. Otherwise we wouldn't even have this discussion at all. But most people would rather see this demand decrease as we haven't been able to fix the language in the last 30 years.
You have been lucky and have had few low-paying jobs. Most jobs I've worked in the US are like this - you are fully expected to be there 100% of the time the company thinks you should be. All else should be done on your own time around the company time. This is even more true for low-paying jobs.

It sucks for anyone with health problems and sucks for anyone with children. People lose jobs because their children are sick and because they wind up with a major medical thing that happens. FMLA only covers large medical stuff - if you've worked full time for a year for a large enough company.

Some of this could be fixed with laws that protect employees and things like that. I'm generally thankful I don't have to deal with the lack of worker protection in the US right now - it meant that breaking my elbow while working a seasonal job didn't mean I was out of an income, for example.
50s you can still be pretty strong and endurant, provided no accident/degenerative disease happened.

Games today are more of a services than a business due to online distribution.

You don’t go in debt by making a ton of copies that don’t sel and you don’t lose money when you lower your sale price to clear inventory because there isn’t none.

If you continue to develop and support the game you can create a continguous stream of revenue even if it’s a small one, for a small studio without investors it’s a very viable business model.
(That's about the underlying pointer-aliasing model visible to unsafe code; the sort of questions that come up with C's "restrict".)

I don't think coming up with answers to those questions need have blocked writing that part of the reference manual.

One alternative would be to document what aliasing guarantees rustc currently does and doesn't pass down to LLVM, along with what (if any) promises Rust is making about which things that therefore currently have defined behaviour at the LLVM level will also do so in the final language model.

The point is that the current reference manual should document the compiler-writers' current understanding of what is allowed.
Having used a trackpad for years, I don't even use a mouse when one is available (outside of 'gaming') and use my trackpad 100% of the time. I also use my laptop for hours per week on planes / trains on my lap without any issues from the trackpad. For me, that's not something that ever felt comfortable to do with the trackpoint.. and trying to use a mouse on a train seems like it would be unpleasant.

I expect I'm not the only person in that situation and it's great if more effort goes into trying to improve the trackpad experience of linux on a laptop!

>There is a tension when talking about 'freedom' that reminds me of the anecdote (unsupported by evidence afaik)

If we're talking about anecdotal evidence, this has been seen time and again.

It's also easy to see why logically: keeping a religion you've inherited from your parents/community is the default, low energy, mode. You just do the motions. Getting into one from outside requires extra energy and conviction.
Personally, I would see who the writer on Forbes is, rather than just dismiss the entire Forbes website.

For example, I read articles published on Forbes by "Starts With a Bang" (an astrophysicists) and "GrrlScientist" (a biologist) because I have read their articles previously published from other sites before they moved to Forbes and enjoy what they write.

This is standard practice, asking for your PIN. If you used a temporary PIN via text response, that should be enough for that task. The PIN protects you from somebody acquiring your phone and then taking over your account.

If you're in North America, call before 7pm PT to improve your odds of getting to their Oregon support people. They are excellent in my experience, and I've been an Advanced Support engineer.

If you land on their overseas support (Philippines), just hang up unless it's a very basic question for which a wrong answer or botched change won't damage you. I have been repeatedly lied to, had critical account settings screwed up that took hours of rework, and disconnected in the midst of hour-long calls. They are literally worse than useless. I've had handset manufacturer support personnel confirm similar experiences.

The contrast is astounding.

Barcelona has loads of startups as well as lifestyle creators, both big customers of such spaces.

WeWork is struggling with its position. On one hand, cool kids want a cool coworking space that's super central and with a lifestyle crowd (OneCowork in Barcelona). On the other hand, more serious people want a very functional office space without the cool factor, Regus.

No idea in the US but here in Barcelona, WeWork is too much in the middle.
The results themselves are not wrong per se. Reaching this conclusion from those results, however, is frankly insulting and should make all authors of the paper ashamed.

> These data indicate that physical inactivity (e.g., sitting ~13.5 hrs/day and <4,000 steps/day) creates a condition whereby people become "resistant" to the metabolic improvements that are typically derived from an acute bout of aerobic exercise (i.e., exercise resistance).

Also note that the researchers _immediately_ re-fed the group who participated in the intense exercise:

> The additional energy expenditure from the exercise session was estimated via indirect calorimetry. This energy was then replaced with additional caloric intake with the post-exercise dinner (Clif® Builder’s®; ~40%/30%/30% of calories from carbohydrate, fat, and protein, respectively).

This is especially bad because it isn't mentioned anywhere in the abstract (I checked the full-text).

Shit science.
Management as it exists today is bullshit. Complete waste of time. Scheduling meetings to discuss the business process is a waste of time.

A good manager does not need processes, they just need to make sure that stuff gets done to a high standard. That just means delegating tasks to people you can trust to complete the tasks. If you can't trust your people and need expensive project management software to get the necessary visibility to manage the shit out of them, then you already failed at your job.

> Sure, some people can't handle lactose, they have different responses to booze, etc.

That different from evolution. When those that can handle smth (booze, lactose) better produce more offspring, that selective breeding. Evolving to be better off with lactose-all-life-long or booze takes a lot (A LOT) longer. Non of that is demonstrated for either lactose or booze.

> And I think that's my dispute: the world isn't pure, nature isn't pure, our bodies aren't pure.

So lets create all kinds of molecules that the have never been seen before and spread them in the food supply to increase yields/sales, because we serving the holy purpose of impurity.

I prefer I have the choice as a consumer. And I think give the choice at equal cost most people will choose poison-free.

> If we can get the prices on organic food down to where we can feed cities without famines, sure.

Easy, but it comes at a cost. For instance "no more animal products", this will open up enough land and subsidy budget to make organic plant-based for everyone viable.

Animal product another ugly-ass industry right there.

A basic implementation of a language is easy, I did it as a part of CS curriculum. It's the "boring" parts that stop most of the languages from becoming useful outside toy projects. Does your language have a profiler? How's support for debugging? Suppose there's a memory leak. Can I peek into "what has been allocated" without writing the instrumentation myself?

Comparing discrimination against a protected class of person (in this case, race) to commercial discrimination which is subject to the laws of fair competition and monopoly is irrelevant to the discussion.

Monopolies are subject to restrictions on their operation specifically to protect competition. Unfortunately, around the world over the past 30 years, monopoly regulation has been sadly lacking, except in the EU.

Google could be judged as a monopoly provider of operating system and application services to mobile phone manufacturers. Apple supplies iOS only to its own hardware.

As such, google could be restrained but only in terms of how it deals with the phone manufacturers, not their customers.
The typical argument is that "tax incentives", whether positive or negative, ultimately come from other people's hard work and money. And those people may not agree with you (the benevolent distributor of incentives) on what "good outcomes" are.

They need to make the toll dynamic.

Eg. "New York's streets can optimally handle 1 million journeys per day. If the number of journeys is above/below that for 3 straight months, we increase/decrease the toll by 10%.

That way the roads stay near peak efficiency without needing the politicians to get involved every time the streets get too busy or too empty.

Random players can work with proper servers too, and many games just do that.
