Completely agree. I've been using Dapper for a few years now and it's amazing because I have control over everything. I created a simple overlay, which also allows me to do some very specific things that you just cannot do with a traditional ORM (like having dynamic table names)

Anyone wanting to set up something similar just watch Mosh's Repository Pattern

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtXpYpZdOzM

I modified this pattern to use dapper instead of entity framework, but he already decouples entity framework to the point where you still have control.. so you can do either.

In Guidelines Tetris, you only deal damage if you do a sufficiently complicated maneuver. A Tetris (4-line clear), a T-Spin ("spinning" a T-block into place), or a "Combo" (repeatedly clearing lines non-stop). As such, you only can do a major damage from I-blocks (a 4-line clear / Tetris), or T-blocks (TSpins).

No other block in the game can deal major damage by themselves. So the placement of I blocks and T-blocks is fundamental.

---------

Also note: Garbage is a "comeback" mechanism: large amounts of garbage "feed" the opponent lines to perform a combo with. If you deal non-lethal damage to the opponent, it is common for the opponent to use the garbage you sent him to "combo" into a large amount of damage back to you.

As such: the game becomes more garbage is sent around. There is a chance the opponent can see a 12-combo through the garbage you sent them. Its difficult for the untrained players to see combos, but it definitely comes into play at higher-levels.

---------

The current system (including the bag-randomizer) has been carefully balanced between many issues, and playtested for years. Aside from occasional issues (ex: TSpin singles becoming too easy in an early version: leading to the development of "TSpin Minis" to nerf that technique), the overall Tetris Guidelines rules are quite good. I recommend playing a modern competitive version of Tetris and trying it out yourself.

Combo-play is definitely considered one of the strongest strategies right now. Moving to a true-randomizer will necessarily nerf Tetris / T-Spin play, because you can no longer predictably get Tetris or T-blocks.

In my experience, most players want to play Tetris: that is, create Tetrises (4-line clears). Combo play is certainly fun, but it makes sense to "buff" the canonical "Tetris" strategy of the game since that's what people expect. Tetris is the name of the game after-all, and you can only play "Tetris" if you have some kind of assurances that I-blocks are on the way.

Nerfing Tetris and buffing Combos seems to be the wrong direction for balance. If anything, Combos need to be nerfed.

Perfect-clear play is also lovely to watch. Computers are better than humans, but when a human perfect-clear player comes in, its truly intense and fun to watch (and play against). Perfect-clear play relies upon the bag-randomizer to a severe degree, and isn't even that strong of a strategy (a good perfect-clear player needs to threaten 3x perfect clears within 20 seconds to be competitive at high levels). Moving to "true random" would erase this obscure style of play completely.

-----------

In any case, there's a big community which prefers to play with true randomizers: the "Tetris Classic players". They play by a separate set of rules entirely.

As a Guidelines Tetris player, I obviously have my bias. I think the game is more fun with Tetris, Combos, and Perfect-clear openings in play.

I don't think it's that shady, I'd much prefer founders having power over investors having power. If you've been on HN for a while you've heard way more stories about investors exploiting founders and ruining companies and lives. Both sides should be protected but yeah there exists a bias I'd rather it be on the founder side than the investors.
This creates an issue where jobs that pay only slightly more than $1k a month end up not being worth it. For example, someone working 30 hours a week at $10 an hour would see their income only go up ~$200. You could phase it, but that only weakens and does not remove the underlying issue and there are already existing cases where multiple problems with phasing stack, ending up in the same problem. Going with a simpler form of UBI that gives everyone $1k no matter what completely eliminates the issue (well, there is a minor issue given that money have a diminishing returns in value, but the impact of this is so far weaker than the issue of cut offs or phasing out benefits).

CEO Thoughts on Exponential Growth: An Interview with Tally CEO Jason Brown
It's economically quite different. Much less is spent, but lower income people end up facing very steep marginal tax rates. If you make 12k or under, you might as well not work or work in an unpaid role. Even if you make more than that, given a choice of working 40 hours/week for 24k or 0 hours/week for 12k, many or most people will go for the 12k. With a UBI, you're paid the 12k, and if the job's salary is 24k, you get paid 36k total, which is a much more attractive proposition. A similar effect keeps some SSDI recipients in a poverty trap.

All that said, there are lots of nonlinear effects, and any solution will have to be phased in slowly to account for and respond to them. There are also ways to make the guaranteed income have much better marginal effects, though doing so also makes it more expensive. In fact, those mitigations if taken to an extreme lead to a UBI.
It's interesting to examine Alpha Centauri's political perspectives in light of the fact that it was released in 1999.

People tend to make a habit of treating AWS like a VPS provider, in my experience. And you can skate by on this for a while, but it really isn't designed for that. And that will, eventually, lead to pain and suffering.

Sometimes instances just go out to lunch. Sometimes an AZ goes down. Chaos Monkey isn't just a good idea, it's required for reliable operation.

But please, please, if you are going to treat AWS like a VPS, at least don't do it in us-east-1! It seems to have more outages.

Our setup related to instances and EBS includes: At least 2 instances in different AZs, an ELB in front of them, a backup running at our hosting facility (though this could just be a different AWS zone, or different provider), and DNS with full-paper-path health checks that switch DNS over to the colo servers if any component of the primary fails.
That doesn't protect you from GDPR, specifically cited in TFA. The companies studied were located in France, Germany and UK and presumably dealt with EU residents' Personal Data.

> This is not like if a contracted a builder to renovate my kitchen.

I don't know for where you live, but here in Quebec you would usually contract a general contractor for that. Would that means that guy is now employing people and he should pay them benefits too and pay their taxes for them?

Uber is between you and the contractor, sure, but he is still a contractor, he is contracted for a single job (taking you to your destination) and the amount paid cover that job.

The contractor is free to decide when, where and for how much he works.
It's a substantially different thing with quite different incentives.

For a particular example, someone receiving guaranteed basic income is in some sense "stuck" as a noncontributing member of society as it makes no sense for them to start working e.g. a part-time job since whatever money they earn would simply reduce their GBI payment with no benefit to them.

GBI helps solve some problems, but it's not really a solution to the type of problems that UBI wants to solve, it's something quite different.

Well, when you purchase coffee at McDonald’s and you see that it’s super hot, you can return it or cool it down by blowing on it before drinking it. Not commenting on the legal case, but it seems nuts to blame someone else for spilling hot coffee on yourself, no matter how you slice it.
The other difference was the Firewire did a lot more in that chip, basically offloading a lot of work from the CPU, so it was higher-performing and lower CPU usage.

USB was made mostly by Intel, and they intentionally made it "dumb" so that the CPU had more work to do, in order to push high-performance CPU chips. But of course, the big factor was that license cost, which made Firewire devices cost more, whereas USB was very cheap to implement.
I regularly am discussing Google's business with Googlers on here. Some of them disclose in the post, some of them disclose on their HN profile. Many do not, and calling them on it is generally discouraged, but it's usually not super hard to figure out or prove.

There are definitely some acting as spokespeople (even if they claim otherwise), but there are also quite a few who are just, you know, incredibly biased fans of their employer, who like to defend them on topics unrelated to their job.

But when a tech company has 100,000 employees, it's not particularly surprising to see a good number of them on a tech forum. ;)

Are you running low on memory?

This is has been my experience with Firefox on a laptop with 4GB. If the commit size for any of the content processes goes over 1GB, Firefox tabs stop responding. Killing the content process in task manager brings the browser back to life.

Sometimes the browser slows to a crawl and CPU usage spikes (making me wonder if it's memory compression kicking in -- though I haven't verified). Other times tabs are responsive but links just make the spinner go (as if I've hit a socket limit).

It's almost always fixed by killing the content processes (making sure not to kill whichever one is running addons!). I guess this is a little better than the old days when a few times a day I would just restart the whole browser.

Companies have practices for opioid abuse surveillance and prevention that highlight how available this data is. Example

https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/public-sector/solution...

They use insurer datasets to model at-risk populations, especially populations with high costs, to identify intervention opportunities. I saw one model where they could identify all pregnant women in a state with 98% accuracy and score them for risk of opioid dependency.

You can layer that type of data with online advertising from vendors like Google and identify opportunities to target behavior factors that combined with medical risk factors present opportunities. For example, a blue collar worker with back pain treated opioid treatment has a baseline risk of abuse. If her address changes or behaviors like online gambling happen, that increases the risk of abuse.

Similar tech has been developed to combat extremist behavior.

This, alongside the second incompleteness theorem, showed me that any formal system cannot prove itself, and any system deemed "consistent" can only be considered as such from outside that system.

A great way that I visualize it (thanks to Hofstadter) is like Escher's never ending staircase painting. If you look at each step, it looks just fine. In fact, you can say that each step on its own is "consistent". But it is only when you take a step back, outside the system of each isolated step, that you see the paradox.

Similarly, the theorem applies this to mathematics, and by extent, any formal system. Just as we can see each "step" going from one to the next, in mathematics we must hold an axiom as truth without proof, so that subsequent theorems may use it as the next "step". It is, in a sense, a paradox which we agree to use.

In practical terms, I may extrapolate that further and more philosophically than was intended (or that I have commonly seen), but the subsequent Halting Problem combined with the Curry-Howard isomorphism shows me that Godel's Theorem has major real world effects. The idea that there can be something that is true but not provable rings true to me in many regards. I, like many, spend nearly every moment of the day unconsciously putting faith into the "truth" that I am not alone in the universe, thereby fending off solipsism.

I cannot prove "I" exist. But it is true. What are the other truths that cannot be proven? That question guides my thinking.

Normally coffee is not brewed on boiling water, and losses a lot of heat during the brewing process. So, McDonalds' coffee (and the ones on many more stores) is significantly hotter than normal coffee.

Maps in the REPL
My thinking would be to bias piece selection based on a complete history of previous selection, i.e.:

const pieces = ['I', 'J', 'L', 'O', 'S', 'T', 'Z'];
byte[] probs = [32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32];

piece getRandPiece(){
int v = Math.random(pieces.length * 32)
int sum = 0;
int r = 0;
for(int x = 0; x < pieces.length; x++){
sum += probs[x];
// check if random value with range
if(v < sum){
probs[x] -= pieces.length + 1;
r = x;
}
// increase the probability of each piece being selected
++probs[x];
}
return pieces[r];
}

I think the benefits would be:

* Unlikely flood and drought

* Completes in a predictable time (will always loop for each piece)

* One random number requested (can be surprisingly expensive if on a slow processor or excessive numbers of calls are made)

Are there any negatives to this approach?
After one year of OCaml/ReasonML and after that one year of TypeScript, I will not go back to Reason.

1. TypeScript has a better (more practical) type system (for the task of writing a WEB UI and interop with JS).

2. TypeScript is actually usable by people who do not have a PhD in type theory.

3. TypeScript has tools. This is a huge difference.

4. It's faster and cheaper to actually develop a product in TS than in Reason/OCaml.

5. Yeah, TS lets through more bugs, but it's actually just a small blip on the radar.

In practice, TS makes it quite possible to get all of the benefits that OCaml claims without actually paying any real price.

edit: formatting

edit2: I still do use and love OCaml (on the backend), just not fooling myself I can actually ship a real (and big) web UI project using it.

> I’ve always wondered what the cost per click for an advertisement for a $100,000/yr drugs is.

I doubt it's very much. The reason the price of the drug is so high is that there's zero competition. CPC in auction-style ads is driven upwards by competitive pressure.
I don't understand (or understand, but despise) the urge to misrepresent data. For instance $1000 UBI will cost 4 trillion if given to every single American, but people under 18 constitute 25% of the population, take that out, and you have 3 trillion. It's really trivial and I heard no one planning to give people starting from age 0 $1000 dollar every month.

It's not a stretch to say 3 trillion is way too much but why does author feel the need to be deceiving and just make that number slightly larger is beyond me. This really discredited him in my eyes as trying to have an objective discussion about the matter.
