I know. And I'm saying if that was the rate they've historically added data to their dataset, it would've taken them 200,000+ years to get here. Which is why 100GB/mo is virtually nothing for NASA -- it doesn't match with their historical throughput.
> The current gen hardware is over 6 years old, and when writing for it you can definitely feel its age

But it is also very much a known quantity and games should be designed to take that into account. Arguably it should be easier to write games that hit 60fps today than it was 6 years ago.

Yeah, you will not see the additional hundreds of Gbps of "internal" Netflix traffic, but you may very well see smaller increases as small ISPs that aren't approved for "full rack Netflix appliances" pick up Netflix traffic over the routeservers.

> I'm not sure whether you intended this to sound so patronizing, but wow. What languages should I explore while talking about Javascript?

Why would the suggestion to explore non OOP, strongly typed languages sounds patronizing to you? The more different languages you play with, the broader your mental modelling toolset becomes. It
is painfully obvious to me that someone worried about interfaces in JS is not very familiar with more dynamically typed or/and functional languages. JS is a VERY FLEXIBLE language which can be coded in any style, which is why I've suggest playing with something more opinionated to get the gist. Languages like XSLT, Erlang, LISP, Haskell etc.

> You are called to edit a function that takes 2 arguments:

> function handle_req(request, options):

> What is request in this context and what is options?

The fact that you can edit handle_req means it is application code. So how you figure that out comes down to the structure and patterns you and your team use (if any) and the available documentation (if any). You'd be surprised how far Eslint and JSDoc will take you. TypeScript accomplishes the same, and I've no problem using it within a team that needs it but personally, it feels like an overkill I don't really need to.

> A whole lot of the time, especially in JavaScript land you will join projects where libraries are being used, and where documentation is lacking. Your advice here is basically to not be part of those projects? Instead of developing and using tooling that will ensure that these situations no longer happen?

The decision to use TypeScript or any other tooling should really be made at the BEGINING of a project, so why are we talking about projects that already missed the boat, and even worse lack documentation and tests? This just proves my point, what you really need is discipline (documentation, tests, best praise etc) and a good linter, not a whole new language or programming paradgim.
It really comes back to the testing. There could be a million people 20-44 who didn't get tested and didn't need to visit a hospital.

If you only test people who arrive at a hospital with serious symptoms, it's not surprising that many of them go on to be admitted.
How can this be true? If I put the PS5 within a small enclosed case with a poor ability to dissipate heat, it should overheat / throttle down thus making the throttling variable, no?
On a related note, if you watch Netflix in Chrome or Firefox then you're only getting a resolution of 720p.

Google Chrome
Up to 720p on Windows, Mac, and Linux
Up to 1080p on Chrome OS
Internet Explorer up to 1080p
Microsoft Edge up to 4K*
Mozilla Firefox up to 720p
Opera up to 720p
Safari up to 1080p on Mac OS X 10.10.3 or later

*Streaming in 4K requires an HDCP 2.2 compliant connection to a 4K capable display,
Intel's 7th generation Core CPU, and the latest Windows updates.
Check with the manufacturer of your system to verify specifications.

I really wish they'd just allow up to 4K streaming on all main browsers. The Windows 10 app is awful and very buggy for multi-monitor setups. The two main issues I run into with it are:

1. The video will stutter unless I set both my monitors to the same refresh rate. As you can imagine, it's somewhat annoying to have to lower the refresh rate of my main monitor from 144Hz to 60Hz whenever I want to watch Netflix.

2. When playing in fullscreen on one monitor, the video will randomly minimize if I interact with any applications on my second monitor! So if I want to look something up online or whatever as I'm watching, I have to switch to windowed mode or I risk having the video just minimize and mute itself.

> Seriously, go use products like Google Hangouts

Corporate standard at my place of work. I hate Hangouts with a passion. It's the worst messenger, feature- and UI- wise that I've seen for years.

> Microsoft Teams (Microsofts's surprisingly better clone of Slack)

No it isn't. Used Teams at another company which adopted it as the standard. Couple of years ago. Feature-wise it was like a proof of concept, very early access.

> Additionally, the major revenue source was Business tier use, which Microsoft dramatically improved by integrating it with their other cloud-based business suite applications.

Again, I worked at another company where Skype for Business was the standard and nobody ever used it unless they needed formal IT help or something.

All the teams I'm acquainted with at my current place refuse to communicate on Hangouts and, in violation of corporate policies use something else like Slack or Mattermost.
I agree. This is the second story list this we have seen come across the front page of HN this week. I'm glad they sorted it out quickly, but it is almost certainly a result of Mr. Eisenberg's high profile.

We saw another story like this come across the front page this week. The author is less well known (also happens to reside in Russia), and claimed that he had trouble even getting an e-mail response from the given support pathways for appeal. Sounds like it eventually got sorted out, but not without much waiting and effort from the maintainer.

So when GitHub CEO Mr. Friedman jumps in and pats himself on the back for getting this account restored in less than an hour, I can only roll my eyes. To try to sell it like this is an 'average' response to these type of appeals is a little disingenuous.

If I were starting a company today, I would absolutely self-host my repository to guarantee my business is never harmed by some automated flag that could total lock me out of my own work. We use GitLab Community Edition at my company. It is fantastic, and we are in full control.
Given how tightly the game industry market is tied with the general market, it won't be a good bet until the market at large finishes its fall. And, since their studios will also close and impact the timelines on future games, they won't be a great medium-term investment.

That said, they'll probably be strong in the long term; videogames as entertainment is only growing.
I think console still do make sense insofar as that they provide developers the confidence that their game can run on a given set of hardware.

Yeah, they're mostly just a PC under the hood. But they're PCs with consistent hardware. How much easier would PC game development be if you know all of your customers had the same CPU, GPU, RAM, and OS?

I am not a scientist, but I have been following the scientists that are studying this. Chloroquine is a zinc ionophore much like the supplement Quercetin [1][2][3]. Both allow zinc to be transported into the cell, preventing or slowing the RNA transcoding process that hijacks your replicator functions. This vastly slows down the replication, allowing your adaptive immune system to get ahead of and destroy the virus faster than it can replicate.

I am not familiar with the observations around type-O blood, but I have been following the discussions on ACE2 and ACE/ACE2 inhibitors (blood pressure meds) which is interesting. The jury is still out on that one, but the theory for ARB's is forcing a binding that blocks nCoV from attaching to the receptor. [4]

Agreed.

I think for our general use case we are looking at people with needs that are using vms or containers today (eg: not necessarily those that want plaid speed boot-times). That's not really something we are currently optimizing for. For something like a database there would be no desire to spin up/down so fast. Also, many frameworks with heavy language vms such as JVM or ruby take a long time to boot regardless so trying to run those in a 5-10ms boot-time doesn't make a ton of sense.

Having said that, there most definitely are very very interesting projects like LightVM, http://cnp.neclab.eu/projects/lightvm/ that do target low latency and NFV would be a great use-case for projects like that.

> Indeed, there's no need to frame this as a moral question, and it's arguably foolish to do so. It is and should be only a question of policy, politics, and constitutional law.

Morality drives the shaping of all three of those things, so framing it as a question of morality is unavoidable if one wants to do something other than the status quo (which is "A private service provider may choose to do business with or refrain from doing business with anyone for any reason that hasn't already been carved out by previous civil rights legislation"). I believe you immediately demonstrated this fact by stating as "policy" something that is a moral stance ("little people" deserve some minimal protections from "big people"). And we may do well to remember that the KKK is also "little people", as are neo-Nazis (and society has a vested interest in keeping both groups "little people").

All people should be treated equally as people in the eyes of the law, i.e. with empathy for their humanity. But when you divide groups into "little" and "big" by political belief, sometimes you do, in fact, find situations where the majority should suppress the minority (because the minority's belief is anti-human, and political beliefs are malleable).
My current rpc model for python is to pickle function name and args/kwargs and publish to redis for any subscribers that might be listening.

OptaPlanner and Choco are both very cool tech. We've been pretty religious users of Gecode (https://www.gecode.org/) over the last few years, which you should also check out if you are interested in CP and like C++.

There are a few important differences between what we're building and those tools:

A large focus of our tools is on integration with software stacks and data warehouses. They are opinionated about how decision models should read and write data, how they should be deployed and interacted with, and they make those patterns clear and consistent. We refer to this as the "decision engineering" part of the field, which is not often addressed by existing tools.

Decision Diagrams (and thus, Hop) rely on many of the same techniques as MIP or CP (search, inference, and relaxation), but they represent problems in different ways and have their own interesting characteristics. For instance, diagram restriction and reduction are both powerful techniques specific to DDs.

In our systems, we represent models as states and transitions. I believe this makes models easier to unit test and reason about. It also has the interesting side effect of making optimization and simulation look a lot closer to each other than they traditionally have, which is something we'll be exploring more in the coming months.

Take a look at the DD book if you're looking for a thorough treatment: https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319428475. It's really interesting stuff! We'll also be updating our blog fairly regularly now that we're launched.
I thought it was pretty clear I was talking about something much different from hanging multiple external devices off the back of a Mini.
First thing I thought of, too. There were lots of things you could do that would make the game unwinnable. Like in the first one, leaving a gate open would allow a goat to wander off and you needed the goat later. In another one, you there was a fire that would go out X screen changes after finding it for the first time, and you needed embers from it.

This article seems to directly call out a lot of the King's Quest mechanics and puzzles.
I am using Emby, since that seems to be the only one of those platforms that can handle IPTV
Makes sense. One of my previous employers tried to develop the tools in-house, as a sideline of the operational business of running transportation (of people, in busses, like groups of people renting the whole bus). Development was guided by a guy with a media background, developers where people fresh from University. Results were predictable. Some sophisticated tool kit would have been great!

"the internet" from a dedicated fiber line is not the same as "the internet" from a oversubscribed 3G cell tower in the same country.

Running better/more aggressive last mile QoS in the affected regions would make more sense to me, though I can see the advantage of netflix throttling "voluntarily" because this approach may avoid net neutrality violations.
Hogging bandwidth is detrimental to everyone, especially emergency personnel. Please don't do this. The government wouldn't ask if there wasn't a need. The alternative is having everyone's internet cut outright.

If you don't mind, I think I'm going to steal that quote. It makes a really good point very succinctly.
I'm probably going to end up dropping $8-10k into a tower and point to point microwave links to two different cities. The ISP i'm on now wants $30K to put fiber in my house, but their network is so bad at the edge that i'd still need to get a loop to something else to get reasonable performance.

I'd still do the tower and resell b/w to recoup some of the costs.

I think the real problem is that the supply is too inelastic. The marginal cost of delivering more data is trivial, until part of your network gets congested, and then your short-term options are limited. This is the same problem that water utilities often face: it's cheap, until you run out.

Assigning a single rate ($/TB) requires you to make some assumptions that are at risk of being violated in exceptional circumstances. Using variable pricing to charge more during peak hours is too complicated for consumers to keep track of and their options for changing behavior are limited, so this earns the ISP more money but doesn't eliminate congestion during peak hours.
Yes, OS-specific applications are good, and we should have more of them. By "sticking to one OS", and apps that follow the OS's conventions, users actually have a chance to develop expertise in those apps. But the web ensures that everyone stays an amateur.

While website capabilities have evolved, the web UI itself has regressed. No major UI paradigms have emerged from the web since the 90s (except tabs, arguably). URLs, bookmarks, cmd-F Find, and clicking on links still dominate, except they work worse now compared to the 90s, because of SPAs and lazy loading.
Fair point about the updates, we're getting ready to launch a few bigger ones (es. a Win and MacOS version). Hopefully we can improve the other flows you mention. (I'm founder @ LT)

Thank you for the pointers! I have Blink installed on my iPad and use it occasionally to restart a system service or similar, but any serious work that requires typing is impossible for me due to the keyboard layout issue.

I use the Neo-layout [0] which has both a different layout for the letters, as well as using additional modifier keys, such as Caps Lock, to access extra "layers" which map more symbols. I like it very much, but it's so different from the more standard ones such as QWERTY, that I'm now significantly slower in the latter and loathe using it.

> When doing that he found out that Netflix streaming in 4k isn't actually 4k.

Well, after so many people praising streaming i wanted to check what this means. According to wikipedia the server adapts to the clients bandwidth. So you can get UHD with the quality of mpeg1.

> Does anyone know what I am talking about? I've thought about this pist several times in the past weeks.

Yes. That's why i decided that streaming is not really a solution.

It is really amazing how they are selling crap claiming that they have better quality. Damn, even an AM transmission sounds better.
The confusing and nonsensical (not immediately obvious by typing ls and reading) folder structure in unix/linux/etc has always been one of my biggest complaints with it as an operating system.

I consider it to be a warning about the importance of refactoring and renaming things sooner rather than later, because the longer that something sticks around, the more dependencies it develops and the harder it is to change.
> It’s widely understood that the hardest part of building AI is how it deals with situations that happen uncommonly, i.e. edge cases. In fact, the better your model, the harder it is to find robust data sets of novel edge cases.

I have no idea whether Tesla will or won’t succeed. But they do have one major advantage over just about every other AV company out there, which addresses the point above. That is, their huge network of camera-equipped cars (a million and counting) provides probably the deepest, richest AV learning dataset on the planet, and probably by orders of magnitude. If accessing the dataset and thus novel edge cases is one of the major challenges in AV development, Tesla is very well placed.
