That's not what I was trying to say. I think grounding it was entirely reasonable. Boeing failed to uphold the aviation safety standards that we have chosen to expect and enforce, and there should be consequences for that. Those consequences can very reasonably include grounding the plane until we're satisfied that the problems have been fixed.

At the same time, I think we should recognize that our safety standards are extremely high. There's nothing wrong with that. But a plane can fail to meet our extremely high standards and still be very safe. In a parallel universe where we decide to accept a somewhat lower standard of safety, deciding not to ground the 737 Max would also be a reasonable decision.
This has been a thing since the 1960s. Is this the elon tinted glasses I keep reading about?

First thing that comes to mind is can any of his suggestions be enforced with linting and/or CI jobs?

If so then maybe defer his changes until they are implemented in linter and/or CI job configuration preferably at a company, team or project level.

If this is something more debatable like how a feature was implemented (there are many ways to skin a cat, all of them wrong). Then I would suggest they provide their suggested changes and maybe even some BDD-style tests that would not pass given your implementation.

If they don't have the time and still insist on you doing things 'their'
way, maybe inform your product owner or project manager that you are spending extra time working on this feature but it will not result in delivering any additional value to your users/customers and have the reviewer take up the discussion with them.
Are Your Lights On? by Gerald Weinberg
I didn't say that there were no OpenGL games being released in 2019/2020 but that the ratio is definitely skewing away from OpenGL. "A lot of games" seems like a stretch compared with what the numbers used to be.

Also I think it's obvious but I'll say it anyway; it's not up to khronos it's up to developers. It doesn't matter if they continue to support OpenGL if developers move to some combination of dx11/12, Vulkan, and Metal.

WebGL and OpenGL ES aren't OpenGL. Their uptake or lack thereof in other arenas is orthogonal to whether people are moving away from OpenGL for game development.
Well, they don't need to go bankrupt to tank the DJIA. Having said that, Trump would cite the Eurostoxx 50 if he felt it made him look good. It's more a case of selecting data that makes him look good than actually being committed to one understanding of success.
I don't eat at Chic fil a because I had a manager tell me my opinion is wrong and basically they don't care about the customers opinion. So it appears to me that they have absolutely zero devotion to the customer.

Nice read, always fascinating reading stories like these about the life and history of people inside the demoscene (the good old years) who then went on to work for some great game studios.

Small trivia about the name:
Utopos = The Good Place, The Place of Utopia

But according to the web, the following explanation also exists:
“In 1516 Sir Thomas More wrote the first 'Utopia'. He coined the word 'utopia' from the Greek ou-topos meaning 'no place' or 'nowhere'. But this was a pun - the almost identical Greek word eu-topos means a good place.“
I think the issue there would be money. Night Dive aren't a big studio, and there is no guarantee of a 'win' here. A win outcome here could well be Warner Bros. producing a contract and still saying no to a re-release. Also, Stephen Kick has said on twitter in the past week that he's still not given up on the IP, so there's still an ember here.

Those things can sometimes be learned quickly, but it takes time. If your company can't have, or doesn't want, productive developers to be spending a lot of time mentoring, then it can be worth it to hire people trained in your working language, possibly even familiar with your style of program or library ecosystem (if you have one of those).

I haven't seen any evidence that they've _continued_ to donate money, just that they said "OK, we might keep donating" as a way to calm down people who were angry by the announcement.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Surely a creator has the right to sell something, and then refuse to sell any further copies.
"The Eleven Laws of Showrunning" by Javier Grillo-Marxuach
I increasingly just use google to search sites I already know have better content than the web at large, since it so often feels like it sucks for any depth of information.

Want to get in touch with someone? name job site:linkedin.com. Want to find how to solve a tech issue? "issue" site:stackoverflow.com, and so on.

Google's search of sites like this is pretty good (although the recency working well would be really good... but perhaps impossible to solve well), and often better than in site search. But that + very basic fact finding "how much is a lb in kg", "where is restaurant X" are pretty much all I feel it's good for. Then again, I guess it's not supposed to be an encyclopaedia (or it can be, site:wikipedia.org!)
I don't think old games compete with typical modern AAA games. They're far more likely to compete with indie games, but that's good for publishers too - they set a demanding standard (most "indie" games today are total crap TBH) for something that really might compete for their focus.
My suggestion is to ask them to fully explain the reasoning behind their comments, rather than just lobbing change requests into your code submissions. You can frame it as wanting to learn, grow, and understand the processes necessary to create good code. They have to either shut you down and be unhelpful, or have contradictory explanations that they give forward.

Hopefully it actually is a good-faith interaction and just a breakdown in communication. If not, though, putting someone on the spot to explain their actions is a good way to generate documentation that they're acting in bad faith.

This works with mean jokes, too, fwiw
The one with Brian Cox was just awe inspiring. His passion and curiosity really comes out in the interview and it makes me want to go buy a telescope.
> Sadly I didn’t manage to make as much use of this type-level programming as I had hoped I would at the beginning: Idris allows you to gradually refine your types, and I’ve often succumbed to just moving on to the next feature as my interest for the game itself grew.

This sounds quite promising. Large amounts of mandatory type level programming makes constructing useful programs hard. That it is opt-in is a good thing, and agrees with my own experiences with Idris, which are on a much smaller scale than the OP's.
How do you mean? Very, very few launches would have been screened live in the UK, where I live.

Just for the reference, creators in general have nothing to do with these games anymore. As explained in the article, it's stockpiled by publishers who don't even have a clue if they own the rights or not.

I’m not sure I’d describe it as out of character.

Phonetically styled narrative from characters pops up in several Banks novels. I’d argue the The Barbarian’s Scottish dialect in The Bridge was a precursor to Bascule.

There are also smattering’s of fun phonetic speech in the first few Culture novels. Most memorably from Fwi-song the prophet of the Eaters cult.

I had the feeling with Feersum Endjinn Banks decided to go ‘all in’ on the fun phonetics.

In the early 90s I went to a Banks reading (possibly Crow Road or The State of The Art) in Sheffield and during the Q&A he talked with great animation and detail about his new as yet untitled novel, which a few years later turned out to be Feersum Endjinn.

What always amazes about such write-ups is the question "but... but... how?"

So:

- A year (started in 2019)

- With a new language

- A purely functional language that's not the easiest to learn and use

and ended up with:

- an actual playable game prototype

- a level editor

- a scripting engine

- etc. etc.

But.... how?! I would still be trying to read files from disk or some such.
yeah I like this workflow. If I make comments, but approve, it means I'm happy to accept it as is, but you could address these simple changes before merging if you like.

Yeah, I don't know. This starts getting into the deep technical details of law, history, precedent, etc. I have a feeling that, once you reach these depths, only people with the requisite legal training and knowledge can voice opinion with any degree of authority.

I suspect these are matters still waiting for the "Mother of all Supreme Court Cases". I wish we would take a solid year of time and have the SCOTUS, once and for all, look at this intricate puzzle and lend clarity to a very messy set of situations. Any outcome would be better than the legal limbo in which exist on this matter.

I would much prefer a society without guns BTW. That said, I am not diluted enough to think this is even remotely in the real of the plausible. That's why I prefer to push back against wasting energy trying to go for bans, confiscations and buy-backs that will never happen.

We need to go after the criminal or disturbed minds that seek to cause harm, regardless of the means through which they might accomplish this --from box cutters, through pressure cookers and, yes, guns.

I firmly believe this is an attainable goal. Far more attainable than clashing with the second amendment. This goal isn't without issues. For example, there are privacy laws that, quite literally, prevent a doctor from reporting someone who they believe might cause harm to others.

Nothing is simple. Some things are simpler than others. That does not mean they are easy.
Watch out with doing more complicated searches like extending those to a date range - they get people “banned” from using google search.

You are most likely concerned that this is more controlled than an actual emergency would look like?

It might not necessarily be an issue. The steps took only split-seconds anyways from what it sounds. Shutting down the main engines helps to escape but appears to not be required for a successful abort. The order might be required though (e.g. the commands need to be sent before the connection between the vehicles is severed) or just beneficial (maybe to give the turbo-pumps of the main engiens a few more moments to spin down already).
I tend to fall in the "disappointed" set about this one.
It is short, but 1/3 into it I realized that the author is basically rephrasing the same concepts over and over and over.

Does it changes abruptly after the second half? I'll probably never know.
Wow, that was a wild report and a good read. The detailed look into the predatory short term load apps is a real eye-opener... the apps would read the device contact list and shame late borrowers to their employer, parents, friends... and in developing places like Kenya and Nigeria.

Your math seems a little off there, or maybe just a typo--I get slightly under 1 in 10,000--but you are correct that the 737 Max crash rate (~1 in 250000) is much worse than other contemporary airliners. In fact the only modern airliner with a worse crash rate was the Concorde.

I'm not trying to defend the 737 Max or Boeing, I'm just trying to point out that even a plane which is dramatically worse than any other active airliner is still, in absolute terms, very very safe. Our safety standards are incredibly high and we are absolutely justified in enforcing those standards, but people shouldn't be scared to fly on the 737 Max when it comes back into service.
That's not the correct link. Idris' ST is not the same as Haskell's ST. Haskell's ST is a way of introducing locally scoped mutability, which is indistinguishable from immutability to an outside observer, but can offer better performance. Idris' ST is a way of implementing a state machine with statically checked state transitions. http://docs.idris-lang.org/en/latest/st/state.html

Although they don't serve the best food in the world the customer service is excellent, the food is pretty good for fast food and it is consistent in matter which location you go to, and you can get your food much faster than other places despite the massive crowds.
Agreed. SDL2 is one of the few libraries I've used that I can honestly say is well-designed.
> A senior person keeps leaving comments to my diffs which are at best can be summarized as his preference for doing things

to me is so much better than

'preferences' should be addressed by a style guide.

You should be able to work to an agreed team style, even if it is not your preference.
Doesn't this kinda prove the point that Node.js is only more performant when used with micro-frameworks like Express? That Sails failed to match Rails should tell you something. A fair comparison with Express would be something like Grape or Rhoda. Node.js itself should be compared with Rack which is pretty fast.

Languages like Idris and Haskell have a big learning curve along with fixed costs around missing ecosystem. But once you pay those off, they allow for single developers or small teams to manage large amounts of complexity and get lots of things "for free" thanks to their composition- and data-oriented nature. A level editor and scripting engine are actually the exact sorts of things I'd expect Idris or Haskell or the like to make noticeably easier than other languages!
Hm, are you sure about that? The documentation[1] for 5.14 still says it uses HIThemes for drawing:

"As with Cocoa and Carbon, Qt provides widgets that look like those described in the Human Interface Descriptions. Qt's widgets use HIThemes to implement the look and feel. In other words, we use Apple's own APIs for doing the rendering."

I guess the documentation could be outdated, but changing over from drawing native-looking widgets to wrapping native widgets (like wxWidgets, SWT and libui) sounds like a big and fundamental (and likely incompatible) change, especially since Qt doesn't do this on other platforms. The release notes[2] don't mention any rewrite of the Mac widget implementation.

Probably not, but why does that matter? It's like asking whether Mozilla have made any commitments regarding the longterm availability of Thunderbird, just use another gateway or run your own.
But it’s completely arbitrary. Why the footage and not the source code for all of their software as well?

The footage isn’t what’s being paid for by the government. The only thing that’s being stipulated is that the satellite makes it into its required orbit. Everything else is ancillary to that. This includes footage, software modifications required, internal communications during launch, the parts purchased for the launch vehicle, and on and on. You’re just arbitrarily requiring one of those things should now be public without a justification.
This is the same with the Myth series by Bungie. Take2 owns the IP and various fan/dev groups (http://projectmagma.net/) have tried negotiating with them to get the rights so they can update it for modern systems and re-release on Steam. However Take2 either refuses to sell the rights or only offers to sell for a ridiculous sum (for such an old and abandoned title). The community has been unofficially patching and supporting the game since about 2005 for modern PC and Mac systems but we would love to see a proper Steam release and build the community up again.

To any Myth 2 fans by the way, there is still a small and loyal community who play online together. (see: http://gateofstorms.net/)

There's probably a simple article out there but I'll summarize it a bit:

You go to https://manager.ens.domains/ to register a .eth address and on the settings page for your domain you add a Content record and point it to
ipfs://Qma7nxS98CAb2BTaxLJBSFozxxSp5XTu6tMtCrKcRQ9ByV or whatever the IPFS hash of your website is.

After that you can visit your site at https://myname.eth in a browser that supports ENS/IPFS or you can go to https://myname.eth.link in any browser and see your website.

2) Population is expected to peak at 8.5B https://www.cnbc.com/id/101018722 (only a 10% increase above current levels)

3) Obesity is a major issue in many developed and developing countries, so we can clearly cut down on the amount of food people are eating.

It's hard work, but not a burden. People have kids because they like having them. Keeping with the Ferrari analogy, cleaning your Ferrari is also hard work, but nobody would pity you for the "burden" or having to clean your Ferrari.

Not sure if you are aware, but if you don't like them anymore, there are ways to get rid of them. You could send them to a boarding school (or at least to a school where they have to stay at school all day), hire a nanny, or give them up for adoption, for example. If your parents are still alive, you could ask them to take over, too.
