> Sure it's better to never make a mistake but so long as they don't make a habit of things like this

This is the thing - the customer that got locked out managed to get attention on HN, Reddit and other media - this seems to have prompted action from Digital Ocean.

How many have silently fallen victim before this ? We don't really know if this is a habit or not - we only know this one customer was corrected.
>no. It is 250 million years.

I don't see how that contradicts is being a few million years?

>not really. While moving on that spiral trajectory, we've made only 16 rotations since Sun's formation. When the life on our planet started our neighborhood looked very different, not the boonies we're at right now :)

Orbits don't really do spiral patterns in practice. Atleast not at this scale. The star would either be in a fairly stable orbit or on trajectory to leave the galaxy (minus elliptical orbits but those would carry the sun in and out of the dead zone quite often).

Moving on a spiral trajectory does happen in orbital mechanics but only in one direction; inwards. Outwards spiraling would require quite a few quirks in the galactic gravity field.

The spiral pattern itself isn't the result of a firework wheel, it's quite a quirk in the distribution of stars, though there are various models that explain them, they all involve very stable orbits for most stars.
I’m a doctor and I agree lack of sleep is a huge problem for inpatient care. I (and most of my colleagues) try to avoid waking patients wherever possible. The main reasons I need to wake patients at night is:
a) they are unwell. This is unavoidable
b) recanullating for fluids/medication that need to be administered overnight.
c) for new admissions I need to do more routine tasks (ensure regular meds are prescribed in time for morning, or chase scan results/reassess patient/repeat bloods). This is necessary as for these patients (and patients who have become more unwell in hospital) there are too many unknowns to be able to safely leave it until morning, or need to be ready for theatre the next day.

The main problem I have is that I often wake up everyone else in the same bay due to lack of private rooms and the need to turn on lights and often shout at dead patients so they can hear me.

Beeping machines is a big problem, and the sooner they are made to wirelessly notify the better.

> How to

Can't decide whether this is a clickbait or "rest of the fucking owl"
I'm admittedly not proficient in C++, but I can't see what's beatiful about the code. Looking at the specific example you linked to... inconsistent formatting and "magic values" aside, what's the point of, say:

if( !relaunched ) {
printf( "Relaunch failed\n" );
setSignal( "relaunchFailed" );
}
else {
printf( "Relaunched... but did not exit?\n" );
setSignal( "relaunchFailed" );
}

Instead of simply:

if( !relaunched ) {
printf( "Relaunch failed\n" );
}
else {
printf( "Relaunched... but did not exit?\n" );
}
setSignal( "relaunchFailed" );

?

Such copy-pasta style redundancy does count as somewhat sloppy in my book.

And do C++ books or tutorials recommend cramming over 20 KLOC in a single file? https://github.com/jasonrohrer/OneLife/blob/master/gameSourc...

I don't have any bone to pick with the guy, whom I don't know and who I'm sure may be very talented.

I only fail to see why code quality, beauty even, would be considered a forte of this particular project.
Thank you so much for pointing it out!! Fixed it.
iOS development shelves, need to join our jump interface
We must first do an application shell for review and approval, and the content of the review is not limited, as long as it can pass! After the success, we will call our API to read the home page content display! We require LOGO, product name, intro map, developer account, Aurora account must use ours.
We have our own main website platform. In order to promote our main website platform, we need to make a lot of vest apps for a long time, and then guide users into our main website games. Therefore, the functionality of the application you are making is only available to reviewers. Simply process the audit and open the given URL to the user via webview after placing the application on the shelf.

I have dota plus. It doesn't give you any advantage on the current game. It merely lets you learn more about the current meta on the long run, faster than keeping up with all youtubers. Even pick stats and suggestions will not make you win more. It just teaches you.

Teaching is not unfair in my book, and worth money so I find it a very well balanced paid feature.

I played LOL before, and their rune and pick system is definitely pay to win.

All in all, given the size of dota, I'm actually amazed that so much of it is free. I played it years before spending a cent, and wondered how they could be sustainable.

According to an earlier tweet [1], the reports are from users who are mad they were banned from his discord server.

> Actually, it seems like this "report" to discord came on the heels of us banning a member for posting offensive content. That member then, to seek revenge, reported the entire server to Discord, and told us about it. Nice.

I've experienced similar immature behaviour in the Minecraft community back when it was at its popularity peak.

Think about the failure cases for `</script>` and `</style>` and it's obvious why the spec defines them that way.

If CSS and JS syntax were to decide when the end tags can appear, some malformed CSS or JS would break the end tag and cause the entire rest of the document to vanish as the browser wouldn't recognise it as HTML.

I've been using DO spaces for about a year now, and for the later half of that time, my experience has been pretty terrible.

- Spaces throwing up errors that magically fix itself a couple of days later.

- Asking about the credits we were promised for when Spaces lost our files results in the question being ignored. Still haven't received the promised credits for 6+ months. I can't even look back at the tickets now as the support system has deleted all the tickets older than a month.

It's gotten to the point where we have started work on migrating off DO, which is unfortunate because DO's offerings looked very attractive.
They should not forget that their money-making games are getting older every year - better to start creating some new "money-maker".
Or more importantly so that the rescue service can see in.

I'm sorry, this is totally off-topic but I had to re-read your comment 5 times until it became apparent that you meant re-sign, not surrender. English is funny sometimes (especially when you're not a native speaker like me:) ).
Would they? If security issuance wasn't centralized through prohibitions on unregistered offerings, you don't think there would be a vibrant market for micro-cap companies, with extensive retail marketing in places like convenient stores, and with enough upside potential to take market share away from games of pure chance?

I think the real market could be potentially more exciting than lottos, if regulations didn't prevent securities from being marketed the way lottos are. In a way, the token sale frenzy demonstrated that.
Newer nodes are hellishly expensive to develop, ballooning in cost over previous nodes. Global Foundries and most others are not working on more advanced nodes than 14nm, leaving just TSMC & Samsung with 7nm fabs. Intel has 10nm kinda crappily working, turning out low end chips that are mostly dead silicon (due to process issues).

We're definitely hitting a silicon bottleneck, the physical barriers are very real, and exceedingly costly to attempt to work around. AMD's strategy of using 14nm chiplets for components that don't scale down well (eg: analog interfaces, DRAM, etc) is likely to become much more common.
> - Edit with Vim: `vim foo.c` gives permission to `foo.c`. (Vim also supports opening new files within the editor; in theory that could be redirected to some sort of powerbox, though it's harder than with GUIs.)

Will Vim be allowed to read `~/.vimrc`?

If not, how should I configure Vim system-wide?

(If the answer is "with a daemon", then: is Vim allowed to connect to the daemon and read its configuration?)

If yes, why?

(If the answer is "because you configured the system so", then: how is this different from SELinux?)

Just kidding. :)

The thing is that access to shared state is hard. Any access is a potential security threat.

Finding a balance between functionality and security is one of those areas that I fear are in the NP-hard-equivalent area of system design.

I'm about to launch a series of games I created for my own daughters that does exactly this. No ads, no in-app purchases.

https://dutchdad.com/

You can leave your e-mail there to get notified when I launch.

The first three games are: Simon says, a memory game where the images are drawings that my daughters made themselves (I am planning to open a 'Custom app for your child' section where you can have drawings by your own children put into the game) and a altered version of 'Shades and Hues - a game of color gradients' that I created for my wife last year (published on the Android appstore with ads currently, my children love it, so I'll create a no-ads version under the 'Dutch Dad' brand for children. An updated version of the first version is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nkcss.shad... (was taken down a while because I had no privacy policy link, has 1000+ installs), so I created a new version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nkcss.shad... that has a different menu, but works mostly the same (10+ installs)).

>>Yeah, and in ten years they might get $14, which will just give some extra profit to their creditors when they file for bankruptcy for unpaid medical bills, or be captured in a civil forfeiture. And if somehow they managed to keep it and actually save a couple grand, that just means they'll become ineligible for SNAP and lose much more in benefits.

How is that any different than matching two numbers on a lotto ticket and winning $10, or $1000?

With real-world investing, especially in micro-caps, they have a chance to hit it big as well, and make millions. So it has the same dream escapist aspect. And it provides a much more solid grounding for the future than throwing money in a game that you are mathematically guaranteed to lose if you play long enough. Investing is not a game of pure chance, and it is not zero sum. With enough skill, you can actually make money, and your skill can improve over time, and doing so actually improves how the economy as a whole allocates capital.
It's a good point; I'll keep it in mind when using the word in the future :)
Magic strings and numbers all over the place are less likely to be refactoring artifacts.

Of course he's only human, but it wasn't me who picked this little (80 LOC) file, of all the codebase, as an example of code being like "out of a book or tutorial" :)

And what about stuff such as 20 KLOC in a single file? This is spaghetti, no matter how you spin it. I wouldn't want to work with such codebase.
It might not be cheaper depending on your needs. You won't get all the features GitHub provides with just a git server. You can install something like GitLab, Gogs or Gitea but then you need to do the maintenance yourself which is not minutes.

Add to that the user permission system which Bitbucket like services provide out of the box (I don't know about GitHub), for example a certain team in your company can access certain repositories, interns can access other repositories etc.

Add to that when you want one of your customers to have a read-only access to a repository, so you not only have to manage user permissions, but your whole IT structure needs to provide outside access to a certain part of your network, in a secure way.

This is achievable but it certainly wouldn't take just minutes. Services like Github and Bitbucket provide all these features for a reasonable price, and they have dedicated sysadmins working on providing a secure service 24/7, who would do a better job than a lot of companies can do with their 1-2 person team doing sysadmin things in their free time, besides their main daily workload.
"Not for very long" - that's exactly the point of the currency-exchange scam:

- mark gets an offer of a great exchange rate from the con-man

- mark hands over real money

- gets a stack of something - the first few bills on the top and bottom are actual local currency, but most of it are one-sided counterfeits.

- con-man counts the money in a way that doesn't give this away - this obviously requires sleight of hand and insufficient lighting

- con-man disappears in crowd

- mark eventually realizes that most of the stack is worthless

The whole con takes a minute or two at most: that's not very long at all.

The critical section "mark no longer has original currency but hasn't yet realized he has been swindled" is as short as a few seconds; this has even been done with plain paper in some particularly audacious cases.
This was perfectly said, and spot on. (Thank you.)

Reading about how Canada welcomes skilled immigrants, almost brought tears to my eyes. If your English is good and you've studied in Canada (even just a bachelor's degree), you're given a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) upon graduation, and are practically guaranteed to eventually get a Canadian green card via the Canadian Experience Class (Express Entry) program.

For folks outside Canada, good English, education beyond a bachelor's degree, and 3 years of skilled work experience, guarantees you'll have enough points to get a Federal Skilled Worker green card immediately.

I haven't looked at countries besides Canada; but I would strongly recommend Canada over the U.S. for anyone seeking to migrate on the basis of skills.
You must have some bad luck.

There is plenty of great Desktop Environments nowadays that can easily compete with the UX you are used to from Windows (KDE Plasma, Gnome 3, Deepin,...).

Most things just work out of the box even without installing drivers. Yes there is still some problems (e.g. Laptop WiFi / old or exotic hardware) but I stumbled upon them in Windows and OSX as well.

Every OS has issues but I prefer Linux for everything besides graphics and working on PDF because most of the times I find a solution I can implement myself without much hassle.
OSX on the other side is very closed in comparison but I don't bother because Photoshop and Acrobat run just fine and I don't need much more.

Windows is just spyware, a security threat to people with free minds. I totally welcome China to switch to Linux and probably this will bring our world to a path towards more free software (very ironically because the US always tries to appear as the "Sheriff of the free world").
Apple is unwilling to publish the source code of proprietary non-Darwin applications and libraries in their OS. GPLv3 enforces copyleft upon anyone who links to a GPLv3 application. There is a risk that simply including or using bash4+ could infect the system with GPLv3 compliance requirements, forcing Apple to publish their proprietary source code. To Apple, this is likely seen as an unacceptable risk no matter the cost and therefore bash is replaced with zsh. I expect them to warn about removing bash in five or ten years or so.

EDIT: Linux is GPLv2 only and does not accept GPLv3 submissions. It is likely that your question can be restated as “Why are GPLv3 programs able to use syscalls in Linux without infecting the kernel with GPLv3 compliance requirements?”, and this is likely due to the clearly declared syscall exception as noted in their licensing docs:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/...

And, Torvalds commented on never-GPLv3 in 2006:

What does this have to do with Bayes?

A frequentist assessing probabilities to make decisions about how to respond is in, if anything, a far worse position. The Bayesian would ideally use priors on groups and cross-group correlations to note that the weak evidence that purple -> mean barely shifts from their priors, and the inter-group mean shows that they are likely to be nice, unless your prior is that different colors have nearly independent probabilities of being nice or mean.

One thing that I kind of miss from "physical" game was the leaflet/manual. Some of them were truly awesome. For example, the original boxes for guild wars had those huge manual with concept art, lore, and explanation about the whole game. It gave you something to do while downloading all the updates on a 256k connection ;) . When you buy games on GoG, they sometimes give you access to the old manual in PDF, but most game don't really have any anymore or it is really just a barebone manual on how to install and play the game.

The market is a balance of needs and desires between businesses and customers. The perfect balance is achieved when a business focuses on delivering value to customers, and charges a price that's both bearable by those customers and profitable to the business. Trying to optimize for "most money" or "least effort" further generally leads to providing less value in a non-obvious ways - on the light side, through cutting corners and exploiting relatively weaker position of customers; on the heavy side, it transitions to borderline or actual fraud. As a customer, if I sniff that a business has this attitude of maximizing profits[0] at all costs, I do my best to avoid ever having anything to do with them - because it's a strong indication the business isn't focused on delivering value, and will throw the customers under the bus whenever it's beneficial to them.
