This gets into a big grey area and I’m not sure there’s an absolute rule. If I were writing the contract I would say “must pair program with employees” and let the contractor figure iut how to meet the req.
i've played apex legend for more than 50 hours, and had no idea you could actually spend money in that game.

but i also think there's a generational divide: while i would gladly pay games for a leg up (better weapons, higher jumps, that sort of thing), i would never ever buy a "skin" for my character, or anything superficial for that matter. but I see kids getting completely hooked on this. and i don't really get it. i mean, from a young age i would hack the game and add whatever i wanted (including skins), so maybe that's why asking me to pay for something as useless as a "skin" will never fly with me.
You should only go to work to make money and further your career. Your next interview should know they've only got you in front of them because there is a pay rise on offer.

Don't spend more than a sentence or two discussing your previous role. Describe their business model and leave it at that.

90% of your interview should be finding out what skills and tech your new employer needs and explaining to them why you're perfect for delivering those skills.
I don't think at all about anything that I wear. I just pick the next from my stack of trousers/shirts/socks. Thinking about what to wear seems to be a waste of my time.

Same about buying: When I see something I like, I buy.
This is good! I have searched for this actually.

However this seems to lack the most important thing (for me): the global usage percentage of a particular feature, which is the #1 deciding factor whether to use a HTML/CSS feature or not.
Gambling doesn't self regulate overall. It gets predatory.

Gambling industry is ==heavily== regulated throughout EU (Swiss too) for instance to a point each slot game [very similar to chance items] is reported to the regulator (Italy, Spain) in close to real time. Responsible gaming options and self exclusions are available everywhere, incl. state-wide options.

Also gambling tends to 'enjoy' very heavy taxation.
> Any price control inevitably has negative consequences in the market. This is practically a law of economics.

There is an exception: if the price ceiling is higher than the market price, then the ceiling will have no effect. It may be that the allowed rate of increase is high enough that it's an ineffective price control, in which case there would be minimal market distortion.
Edison was pretty annoying to work with in my experience.

To use the Edison CPU (without their Arduino-like breakout board) on your own hardware you needed a fine-pitch connector that was more or less impossible to solder in a typical home workshop. The Yocto Linux was annoying from a tinker's perspective because it was focused around building static firmware images and not like Raspberry Pi where you ssh in and apt-get away.

This all didn't make much sense for a product marketed to makers/hobbyists. More or less the only benefit you got from Edison was being x86. You could compile a static binary on your laptop, scp it over and it would just work without messing with cross-compilation etc. But that really wasn't worth all the other annoyances IMHO.

Because if it is uneconomical to rent out, there are few units available to rent and the few that are are super expensive. And the property won't be maintained properly. These unintended consequences ultimately hit tenants.

In Paris there is a similar impact of bad regulation. It has become so hard to expel a tenant that has stopped paying that landlords will demand extraordinary guaranties: bank credit lines, guaranties from relatives, sometimes even medical exam, etc and will be super picky. I knew of a foreign investment banker, high salary, not allowed to get in financial dispute because of his profession, who just couldn't find a place to rent in Paris because he couldn't provide some of those.

Hmmm. I definitely don't like the "give me a ton of money, and you might get what you want" payment mechanism. I saw it with PacMan cards and football cards back in the 80's, and then Pokemon cards for my own children.

I got "stung" enough by a trader in London who demonstrated that you shouldn't buy a pig in a poke. I still keep the cheap trinket I got instead as a reminder to always find out what I'm paying for.
Nah. I started out w/ $65k and lived 40mins from the valley. I would't have considered myself poor (car, motorcycle, computers...)
That would be amazing, to get a summary of each article in the top trending 30.
Yesterday evening I had Friends on and saw the following scene of which I was reminded when I read this 'article':

I would say that kid's parents will notice that a given game is addictive and costs a lot and will just forbid children to play it?

Side note. Free market (as imagined by Adam Smith, Hayek and others) does not mean that greed and income maximization is everything. The same way democracy does not mean that majority can do everything ignoring minority. Without ethics neither democracy nor free market can exist. Some people believe that ethics can be replaced by law and regulations. To some extent this can be true, but the law will never cover all aspects of human life and in the society that accepts unethical behavior both democracy and free market will rot.
I smell potential for a fun tutorial with that last part!
I’ve seen this type of links against s clients domain which wasn’t initiated by the client. We can only think it’s a negative SEO attack, but honest have no idea what the motive behind it is.
The idea that they are ignorant is repugnant, they know exactly what they are doing, and they have ALL the data that shows how the 'child whales' of their industry can be best exploited.
That should also include watching adverts as a competitive advantage within games marketed for kids - it leads to constant intake of essentially user hostile videos being shown to young kids and it's predatory imho.
And unlike, say, AMD, they also have a serious deep learning software effort. OpenVINO is pretty impressive performance-wise, in spite of its goofy name. I've done some back of the envelope, and at least on desktop chips it gets pretty darn close to the theoretical max GFLOPs on stuff that's not too terribly memory bound.
It’s exactly the same reason people pay for fashion. The clothes don’t provide practical benefit, yet people still pay 100x more for branding.

And you can’t hack this because these are multiplayer games.

According to Wikipedia[0] the SE has a 4.0 inch screen. It's total height is 4.87 inches. So I'm not sure where you got the 4.7 inches for an SE from.

To be honest, if you don't do your groceries by foot or bike, but instead by car (like most of the people), its a ecology nightmare and probably won't save any money (due to gasoline, wear off costs etc.)
What if the market clearing price increases at greater than 5% plus inflation?

That isn't generational, it is part of your personality though. You just described two of the four player profiles in this talk on monetizing games:

> You still need spaced repetition for actual retention of the skill. Though it is easier to recover a forgotten well learned skill.

This isn’t true. People forget the most advanced skills they learned unless they use them regularly but they don’t forget the ones that are necessary for that last skill. If you ever knew calculus you’ll remember algebra after decades without using it. I haven’t spoken German in most of a decade but I can still read it fine. Spaced repetition is the most efficient way to durably learn something but it’s not necessary.
Aw man, you're bringing back memories of my childhood here: I spent all my pocket money on those. Well, those and the chewing gum that had a "tattoo" in them :)

I'm with you on the "what are the parents doing while this is going on?" camp.

My son, now 8, plays some games on the iPad. He's got a bunch of Lego games and a couple of multiplayer games but he cannot interact with the other players except to fight on the same team: so no chatting or anything like that. In addition, he's been told he's not buying anything in-game and we've locked down the iPad so that he can't... in fact it pops up a message if he clicks anything to do with buying.

We've used the default list of acceptable websites when you lock down the iPad. We may have removed a couple too and added Nickelodeon I think (for the games on it) and a couple of others but nothing like YouTube... that's pure shite imo!

He moans sometimes that his pal has Fortnite and he plays it at his house sometimes but he's not getting it at our house.

In all honesty a Google search and a bit of time is all it takes for parents to protect their kids online these days. No excuse.
The IETF QUIC isn't finished. Periodically the Working Group thinks it has stopped fiddling with the low-level bit layout and is ready to focus on polish, then somebody finds a show stopper that means revisiting the low-level bits. Maybe 2020? They missed all their advisory target dates (July 2019) for actually writing documents, and that isn't the end by any means for a protocol like this.

So Firefox could at most support either Google QUIC (internal prototype, now obsolete, who cares?) or a random draft that may end up not resembling the final product. If they haven't decided to do either it doesn't seem like a big deal.
COM/UWP is not only for GUIs, it is the full area of modern Windows APIs.

Then there are ORM like the ill fated POET.

Yeah just like not everyone is writing code that "eschew virtual wherever possible, favoring compile time polymorphism to runtime whenever possible", specially on large corporations with mixed language teams.

Beyond C++ conference talks, I am yet to see stuff like SFINAE and tag dispatching in the C++ code I occasionally deal with. Grated those are libraries that get called from Java/.NET projects.
Fortunately for your body, this problem is easily solvable by hardware. Modern DAW's performance scales well with multithreading, for regular use cases at least.

Oddly enough cancellations have been much worse for me this year when trying to go from SF->Oakland. Most infuriating is when drivers come close enough to lie and say they're at the pickup spot (showing them my destination) then just drive away without stopping. I mostly use Lyft, so I'm not sure if this is a problem with Uber as well.
Bay Area has more jobs than it does housing for the people who work those jobs. There just isn't an option for everyone to move away from the bay area and still have work.

Take your "I've got mine so screw everyone else" attitude out of the bay area, we don't have room here for people with so little empathy for their neighbors.
It doesn't.

As a baseline, games with gambling elements will be more profitable than games without, ceteris paribus. You have two competing effects here: games with gambling are better able to monetize their players, but might find it harder to attract these players in the first place if the gambling element is known and understood by the players beforehand. Unfortunately, that "if" is trivially eliminated with marketing, through popularization (people start to play despite their knowledge of gambling mechanisms) and disinformation (people don't know about the gambling elements up front, or about their true impact).

This is the case of the market exploiting a quirk of human psyche. Like always, it will stop doing so once exploitation becomes less profitable than not doing it. For that to happen, new costs related to gambling mechanisms must appear that aren't there before - hence the proposal for regulatory intervention, as this is the standard way for market economies to adjust the costs landscape.

(Regulatory solutions impose additional overhead on the market, and it would be more profitable to everyone if people voluntarily refrained from an activity instead of having that activity banned. However, a different quirk of human psyche precludes the market from ever doing that.)
Because >1Gbps on 1.6GHz means <1.6 cycles per transmitted/received bit, or <8 cycles/byte if you prefer to count bytes.

That's not shabby for a language like python.
I wrote something similar for a resource system for a game engine. If you had a ResourceHandle<T> you knew that the T inside it would never change, and it was safe to pass to any other system. You could always make a mutable copy of the RH<T> to get a T out (and as an optimization if you held the last handle, skip the copy). Once you were done writing to the T, you could tell the resource system to harden it into a handle to give to other systems again (which included serializing it to give it a static hash for the T). There was other cleverness to make it ergonomic that I've since forgotten. Across a large codebase it _was_ nice to ensure that immutable data wasn't going to change, and that you could load up data with the same hash again later and get the same results. It _is_ possible to do via mutable data structures, but you can't always ensure that every person on your team will be careful in the right way.
yes, but fashion in games? paying for worthless pixels?

i do get what you're saying thou...
"I wonder if the reluctance of the gaming industry to tackle gambling is willful"

Of course it's completely wilful.
As per the article: "Discord’s terms of service, particularly with respect to the rights they assert over participants’ data, are expansive and very grabby, effectively giving them unlimited rights to do anything they want with anything we put into their service. Coupling that with their active hostility towards interoperability and alternative clients has disqualified them as a community platform."
Sorry but if you cannot remember the version of the device and the date it is pointless to discuss that further.

Fairphone delivers an uptodate version of Android on FP2 insofar that it has all the latest security patches despite efforts from Qualcomm to not support the SD 801 anymore. Android 7 officially does not support SD 801 either (via Google) but Fairphone delivered. The community even managed to run an Android 9 fork on it (LineageOS 16).

What you linked looks like a second hand, not updated source.

I am running LineageOS on the FP2 as my daily driver (with microG). Many in the community run it both with and without microG. LOS 16 works. See also this source [1]

Reading a book and thinking you understand the material is not the same thing as understanding the material. If you randomly pick a bunch of people who claim to have self taught college level mathematics and gave them the corresponding MIT exams I bet most of them would fail. If it is a higher level course I'd bet not a single one of them would pass since the things they misunderstood compounds as they get deeper down into abstractions.

Of course it is possible, a few people throughout history have done it, but it is rare enough that I would claim that anyone who thinks they did are deluding themselves unless they can come up with further proof.

Rebuilt - sure, most of the time. But unless you want to spend lots of time rebuilding containers, you may want Intel instead. If you have a "real" machine with ARM available you can build larger software quickly, but if you don't, building something on rpi can take tens of minutes easily.

it's not about asking the US to be the martyrs. it's about the state of the matter. right now, by asking US citizens to pay exorbitant prices, and thus boosting innovation and bringing new products to market, you are actually helping places like the EU get better and cheaper medication.
of course you can change that.

The purpose of a computer game is to get you to play it. All the time. Every waking moment if possible. Companies know this.

You will make more money for the company if you're addicted!

Facebook, YouTube etc. are all doing the same: the more you use it, the more money they make.

Until the law intervenes, they'll keep doing it.
This would be more power efficient though.
I think education would be more effective than a ban. Teach children to recognize gambling at early stage. Show them with examples how the house/gaming studio wins by exploiting human nature. If you just protect children from exposure to gambling you will end up with vulnerable adults and adults don't have a guardian who can stop the bleeding even if the cost is a lot of kicking and screaming.
Reading about that led me to this article about a water world that was discovered:

‘A giant waterworld that is wet to its core has been spotted in orbit around a dim but not too distant star’

With oceans 9000 miles deep (15000 km). For context the Earth’s diameter is 7900 miles (12700 km).

The imagination really does boggle at the thought. I think science fiction is going to have a hard time keeping up with the incredible science fact we are observing in our lifetimes.

The income from the loot boxes has to be taxed like gambling. It's a slot machine (or FBT in the UK) essentially.

Possible there should be an option to self-define a spending limit (per month, day, week) that cannot be increased immediately.
Thanks for the work Steve! Love to see this, been scouring all over the place for that kind of stuff and there's stuff you cataloged I didn't get to check out yet.

It’s cheap and it’s x86.
It isn’t. It’s like transfer learning generally, despite decades of research trying to find it there’s no real evidence for it. Learning Latin barely makes you better at learning Italian, never mind reasoning. People learn what they’ve been taught and overwhelmingly don’t generalize.

University level work in physics, literature and chemistry are so different as to have basically no overlap. University level is as meaningful as high school level in a world where Calclulus II tells you the course covered calculus and is otherwise uninformative.

Yeah I was in the same boat. Had no idea how the coins worked and have zero interest in purchasing cosmetics.

I can kind of identify with it though. I remember going to a lot of bother to update the player DB in Sensible World of Soccer to reflect the most recent season. I also patched it and didn't pay (not even sure if there was a paid update). But it's not a stretch to imagine that if I didn't understand how to do it myself and someone offered me a pound for the floppy disk I may have bought it!
