> To be fair, it comes with your World of Warcraft retail subscription, and you don't have to purchase the original game again nor the latest retail expansion (Battle for Azeroth) to play it.

Seems to me like Classic is aimed at players who aren't currently subscribed, who aren't served by the current modern WoW. You know, different demographics and stuff. I know I'm not subscribed, but I'm considering resubbing just for Classic, and I've seen plenty of people in the same position.
I can see the social media aspect of presenting the perfect child persona, but it is BS.

Going to three is exponentially harder. With two, one parent can usually manage both or worse each can manage one kid. Go to three and parents are outnumbered. And generally only two kids ever get along at one time, so there always the outlier. Even numbers are best it seems.
Stories like these will forever remind me of Hisashi Ouchi who died horribly from a different kind of criticality incident in Japan in 1999 [0]. He had received 17 sieverts and they tried to keep him alive for as long as possible in a human experminet. I won't post links to articles about this as you can't unsee pictures like that, putting his name in a search engine will get you there.

> Splunk isn't good at acquisitions. I've seen it first hand. I'd never go back there willingly. I hope the SignalFX crew ends up better. But at the end of the day you're working at Splunk.

Is there some company that is provably good at acquisations? To my understanding they are always very risky and maybe more than 50% end up failing somehow.
You either have the freedom of decentralization and all the benefits and drawbacks that comes with it, or you have our current system with the ability to centrally manage but then you depend on those large, centralized entities to do an impartial job. And we know that nobody is impartial.

For a more recent example ISIS was crushed.

The Vietnamese had massive foreign support. China is unlikely to give up so easily, and no country is going to want to keep arming such a resistance.

No he's not saying he could make better games than AAA if he had funding, he's outright stating that his games are top notch in his niche(as per his belief and shown by his customer's faith in his products)
> Consider if you will how well we fared in Korea, Vietnam, and in the Middle East against farmers and normal folks.

We crushed them (and the regular DPRK army) utterly and completely in Vietnam and Korea, but then forces that weren't “farmers and normal folk” (or even the DPRK military) got on the field (Chinese Army as we showed signs that we would roll the DPRK up completely and potentially—the concern on their side went—keep going into Communist China in Korea, the NVA in Vietnam.)
C++ has simple syntax? Since when?
That claim is subjective, and detail != style. A couple floppy rags are not comparable to the big flowing pants on a gi.
While I agree with your point on not willing to pay “30 different $5 per month subscriptions for stuff I might read”, I do not agree that technically aware people who know about privacy ought to have a lackadaisical attitude to tracking and surveillance. At an individual level you could argue that it doesn’t harm you (or better, hasn’t harmed you so far), but at the level of society and the world, we’d be worse off if everybody thought this wasn’t important and hence did nothing about it.

You mean the first amendment right? The US military machine would decimate any civilians wielding weapons if they were so inclined. They wouldn't even have to use troops, they could do so with drones.
Yeah, poor choice of words. Really just looking for codebases that are idiomatic, well written, and fun to read. Inspiration
I also grew up with pixel art. What I do like about pixel art was that it forced you to use your imagination more to complete the scene. That has driven me towards modern games made entirely in ASCII or text, however, not towards more pixel art.

I highly recommend Brogue or Cogmind for people that want an example of a beautiful looking contemporary game made with ASCII/ANSI. The developer of Cogmind open-sourced his ASCII-art making tool![0]

Don't underestimate how the 'meta' of a game can change even if the game itself would be static. A gaming community evolves, learns, adapts and discovers.

The game's fans have been playing competitively on private servers that preserved/recreated the pre-expansion releases all this time. Stepping into 5-person PvE in this Classic release might be a very different from how it was 15 years ago, even though the game mechanics itself were meticulously designed to be just like the original.
The public key still needs to be shared.
As a Finn, I really can't imagine doing an office job 16 hours a day for a sustained period of time; even the standard seven and a half is a challenge to fill with productive work every day (certainly you could idle at the office but that doesn't count as working). A single 16-hour day is doable if there's really something to do, but it would cause me to take the next day off.

Doing what I do currently, constant 16 hour days would almost certainly result in hospitalization in a few weeks.
Yet some small developers have managed to build visually stunning games, like Brigadier. Enter The Gungeon, Stardew Valley, Dungeons Of The Endless, were all developed by very small teams.

They should definitely make the expiration date more prominent. My Chromebook did work well for five years and I know this date would come, but the average consumer, buying an aftermarket Chromebook online might not expect this to happen.

I'll check if I can flash a different OS on mine and make it last a while longer and remain secure.
Sure they have python, but which version of python do they have? 2? 3? 3.5? 3.7?

Arguably writing command line tools in Node.js has similar problems (8? 10? 12? 12.9?) though it has the advantage that not having a baked in version into your OS distribution means you have to install one yourself (which hopefully will match).

I think Go is a better choice for this type of thing as the end result is a copy-and-run-anywhere staticly linked binary.
Regulation makes the market. No regulation (rules), no market.

Not so sure about that - I had a Philips CM8833 MK II that was pretty crisp, certainly crisper than a TV.

I love pixel art! So much creativity squeezed out of such limited hardware.
Their development velocity might have been due to their management or internal culture. You can get most of those results faster and on a budget. The best evidence was the startup behind FoundationDB continually improving their product in highly-competitive space while doing QA like this:

Generally, on top of code reviews, one can get high return with minimal labor and hardware with a combo of Design-by-Contract, contract/spec/property-based testing, low-F.P. static analysis, and fuzzing with contracts in as runtime checks. That's my default recommendation.

In Github's case, they also might have access to both closed and open tools that Microsoft Research makes. MSR is awesome if you've never checked them out. Two examples applicable to system reliability and security:

> the real purpose of the system is to add a layer of indirection to the election of the President, where the states have a say in their capacity as states.

The real purpose of the system was to balance the interests of states who had as many slaves as free people with the interests of states who would have dominated the legislature if representation were determined only by the number of citizens within the state.
In your wording "faring quite well" logically would involve between two and five decades of unending guerilla warfare. Doesn't sound like a great way to live if you're not a gun nut
The future struggle for people in these kinds of jobs is to get the wider culture to admit to itself that the latter 4 hours are unnecessary and even detrimental to workers.

Privacy Sandbox – Open standards to enhance privacy on the web
Honestly the rest of what he says about hiring artists makes me suspect he doesn’t so much have a team of artists as he has a series of artists, with no communication between them.

Reading between the lines I think he is also not paying his artists very much, and not offering them any other perks that would make them want to come back for another fun Spiderweb gig on the side.
An important contrast is that Oulipo's constraints sought to boost a book's or story's quality, not quantity, mainly by forcing authors to pick words unusually scrupulously. An illustration of such a constraint would consist of radically omitting that most popular symbol in our vocabulary. An important Oulipo alumnus got to author a book wholly in that way. (Look it up: A Void.)
Did you post about that incident when it happened?
I agree, I am assuming you know how we implemented Scrum.... We do point estimates very early to know if a story is too big and needs to be broken down and for rough release planning. The developer that volunteers for a user story will do an hours estimate when the user story is fairly well fleshed out.

We do not use estimates and actual's for any management metrics, this is for the developer to gauge their workload for the sprint. We know from our history that once a developer estimates about 40 hours of work for a two week sprint we don't allow them to take any more.

For us, estimates are the developers gauge to know when the sprint is full.
I ran a restaurant in college and had to become a certified food manager (a step up from the line food handler). So while I won’t prentend to have all the data, it was clear that simple processes prevent 99.99% of food borne illness, and not one law required plastic gloves! In fact they expressly warned NOT to use gloves if you were not sure they were food grade.

If you follow the simple rules, most illness is caused by tainted supply.

The most common infraction I saw was failing to wash hands, followed by not separating meats from other stations. (Work surface, knives, hand washing, etc)

In a busy kitchen, you would be shocked at how much cross contamination occurs every single day, plastic or not. Plastic is not the solution, training and oversight is the essential thing.
Honestly I’ve loved every second of it. Granted, Ive only got one, and she’s pretty easy going so far and never had problems sleeping the night once she was out of “needs food every 2 hr stage”. Yeah, things change, I don’t go out to the bars to socialize as much (or at all) any more. Most of my friends don’t have kids yet (but some do). Having said that, I need to constantly be “changing” or “growing” in life. There are only so many years I can go drinking with friends every weekend until it gets boring and I need a new adventure in life. I travel less too, but still made it to Europe for a week this year (with baby in tow). Your life doesn’t have to stop, but the things you do change. And yeah, I love it. I am also not usually one of the ones that bemoan all the lost sleeep or what have you in comments here. I would imagine I’m not the only one who stays positive.
Generally, try the following steps:

- turn off strict flags, turn them on again after everything compiles in non strict mode
- ensure you have the correct typings for the libraries you're using. Some libraries include them, others require a @typings/xyz dependency. (E.g. React and ReactDOM)
- try to hunt down the root errors. Much like C# or Java, one error can lead to hundreds of compilation errors down the line, but fixing the first root error can also make all of them go away in one fell swoop.
- try to keep things simple and non dynamic. Typescript is very flexible and powerful, but think twice before you use crazy constructs.
- enable emitOnError. It will allow you to test while you refactor, even though typescript complains.
- ask yourself: if it works and typescript does not compile, is it because typescript can't understand or is it because typescript is seeing possible issues you've not taken into account?
- don't think of typescript as something to get around of. Think of it as a helping hand that will guide you in your daily work and prevent a whole swath of runtime errors, but it needs to be fed with information about your data structures and libraries to work properly.
typesafe-actions looks useful but you don't strictly need it. You can use redux with TS just by adding @types/react-redux. https://redux.js.org/recipes/usage-with-typescript#usage-wit...

I cycle daily and vape. I feel when I vape more, my performance on a bicycle deteriorates very noticeably. My effective lung volume is noticeably lower.
If true, what a nasty position to be in.

"From born to die, you will always buy Li Ka-Shing's goods"
"If there's God in HongKong, his last name must be Li"

He and other oligarchs raise prices and exploit profits from people.
HK Gov tried several times to press down house prices (build public rental apartments provided by gov, called 新界东北发展计划 ), all failed.
What's the funniest part is, HK GOV plan to dismantle the golf courses for building public apartments, and was stopped by the name of environmental protection, House prices keep high, and riches keep their golf courses.

Who will get the most benefit from those riots? Oligarchs, no competitors can enter Hong Kong again.
Li himself is the devil's advocate, those oligarchs make young men can only live in cells, but nobody never is able to fight him like they fight CCP now.
In this a City with the 0.539 Gini coefficient, why people hate the government on the other side than rich oligarchs? capital owns media.

That, is the true power and true authority, make people fight for you while you consume them.

All those things happened in Hongkong make me feel desperate about this evil world.

I really hate this, no right, no wrong, no justice, no savior, everyone is just puppet of God.
Apple cares, which is why they wrote the support page article - they'd like users of the Apple Card to keep their cards pristine and white.

Ironically, it's this level of "caring" on the support page that is now causing them to be mocked (for good reason, I might add).

I do wonder if Ive leaving the company will cause this particularly perfectionist streak of Apple to die down a bit over the next few years. Wouldn't hurt, I think.
I dunno. In one of the AMA's one of the engineers spoke about rediscovering the code he wrote for vanilla WoW back when he was a younger programmer. That sounds like a pretty long stint at a single games company (many people don't last that long in the games industry as a whole).

Also possible Blizzard asks their more senior people to do these AMA's I guess...
I agree.

Also as minor nitpick, I doubt your Haskell typechecks (haven't tried it): you forgot to take the floor of d.
Only when you're clearly not the target audience.
This is a common misconception and one which has led to me having many 'conversations' with housemates and neighbours over the years.

You might find that greasy, unlaminated cardboard is recyclable in the food/organic waste stream, as it is here in London.
Vanilla server (run on private servers (pservers)) is actually a rather popular niche. This is bringing that experience back. How it does at-large will be interesting to see.

The other argument is that Blizzard tends to do remastered releases of games ~15 years after their original release, and guess what, it's been 15 years. So it fits into that bucket as well.

While it's definitely a grab at more players, people are also asking for it. Go poking around to see how much people are excited about this thing (there are various podcasts, https://countdowntoclassic.com/ being one I've listened to).
At my workplace we do recognize that there's a lot of unproductive time. The best programmers seem to watch YouTube a lot, the least productive ones seem to come early and leave late.

The company culture has sort of spotted the correlation and we're more or less free to do what we want at work. There's just enough pressure to not spend the day on DoTA and social media, which is probably the optimum pressure. Some of the team goes for two tea breaks a day. Some go for long prayer breaks. Some sleep at their desks.

The CTO doesn't use agile; we just tell each other what we want, and poll them on it after 2-3 days if it's not urgent, or the CTO just reads git commits to watch progress.

We still go to work 8.5 hours a day, because it's in the contract, but it's quite relaxing. Best job I've had so far.
Since the processing elements seem to be unable to reach memory outside their own 64 MB block, 32 bit integers seem sufficient for pointers. Also, it has a 64-bit wide access to its memory block, but can't map it - all transfers are via DMA.

It must feel like a Cell processor with thousands of SPUs to play with.
It depends on the model, some of them have a locked bootloader and it might be difficult to work around.

> To make life changing amount, you need to join a company where the market cap goes to $10B+, but even then a Google employee probably would make more overall and with greater reliability than most startups.

Btw, have to take in to account that it is also about where you can actually get in. It can be quite difficult (sometimes) to get a position at Google. Startup jobs are often easy to get if you are in the right place at the right time.
This. The UI is quite primitive compared to GitHub IMHO. That and Gitlab is littered with half-implemented or poorly implemented workflows. The MR workflow to support code reviews was never really thought through.

I'd say the 10 second trained clips towards the bottom sound much better than the clips from the YouTube video of this project.
I love pixel art. For me is not only a hint at nostalgia but an art form in itself and that is alright. I like the aesthetics of it, I like the way it looks and I can admire the professionals that work with that kind of art.
Interesting. The last I can find on the Automata Processor is from 2014, when it was supposedly being delivered to developers within weeks. And then nothing. I wonder what happened to it. Doesn't seem like it ever turned into a shipping product.

Will there be any true express trains though? Surely the stops along the way reduce the reduction in travel time significantly. If there are going to be non-stop trains from London to Scotland it's a different proposition.
The last time some of the US states tried to secede from the rest of the union and gain their "freedom" (they were of course heavily armed) they were attacked and crushed in a war that lasted 4 years and caused almost a million deaths. So in that case the weapons didn't work. Or did they?

Sometimes armed rebellion has good outcomes, sometimes (probably more often) it has horribly tragic ones. Prolonged political pressure and alliances, non-violent protest, can give equally good results without the risk of creating bloodsheds like the US secession war or the current Syrian civil war (that as horrendous as it is, has yet to claim as many victims as the US secession war).
I have a much different perspective on this. This seems like a case where demand and financial motivations have happily converged.

> Although It was and still is the best game I ever played, without constant releases, it just won't persist - World of Warcraft doesn't mean to be modeled as a game with infinite replay value without new releases. And there won't be new releases because would be branching the game.

We'll see. As evidenced by a thriving private server community built on reverse engineered servers, a lot of people simply disagree. They want to play the old game and have no interest in seeing it updated.

I always felt a bit sad that parts of my childhood are simply gone (i.e. patched out of existence). So I see this development as positive. It makes me happy. I think I feel like my dad felt when he bought The Prisoner (60s TV show that he watched as a kid) on VHS and we watched it together.
I think the other 26 amendments + constitution probably have more to do individually, and absolutely do as a collective, with the freedoms of our society. I don't know if you've seen an obese person with a peashooter go up against an apache helicopter, for instance, but I don't think the state has had to worry about who can deploy more force in over a century.
Oh wow i didnt know that. The acquisition happened much earlier than I thought!

Like who you replied to, i sort if blame activision for the death of blizzard, but that timeline doesnt really line up. I wonder whats going on? Changing demogrpahics, I suppose.
The Simple card isn't supposed to be a status symbol/flex though. The Apple card is very much intended to stand out and part of that is it's all white color.

Yes and how do they find a better job without education? You are very fortunate that you were able leave that behind you. But do you realize there are millions of people in this world who have no means of pulling themselves out of the dirt?

I forgot to mention Prison Architect which takes the cake. At a first glance it look like horrendous programmer-art, but soon it dawns that it is all fully animated and it is just a joy to watch a prison humming along, with every character doing their thing.
