I was curios about Falcom since they have such consistently good games. I couldn't find a detailed lists but it sounds like most Falcom games (Including recent Ys games) use their own custom engine called the "Yamaneko Engine". Tokyo Xanadu and Cold Steel I and II (not sure about later ones) use Sony's PhyreEngine. They had 62 employees in 2019 according to Wikipedia.
I'm really happy to hear this! I'm actually pushing an update now to make it (hopefully) even better.
The safety net is by far the better way to address this, it's a drop in the bucket relative to the total cost of the safety net.

> It's in everyone's best interest for Amazon to offer paid leave until their workplaces have been proven to be safe, which is going to take a bit even after all the appropriate measures are in place.

Amazon appears to think that your "until" condition is here now, per the safety measures they purport to be taking.
Why not use reverse verbal passwords (i.e. have the bank give you a secret phrase)? That should eliminate a large amount of issues without the need for a call back.

I've done a lot of Fedora upgrades, and only a couple have failed.

I have been amazed by how stable Fedora manages to be. I think I had a problem maybe once every couple of releases that needed a fix, and the community is always there to help. The Fedora bug-reporting process is terrific. There's a lot of engagement with the users and a genuine desire to help.
Life
The Internet has taken over our lives umm since 2010? And with Coronavirus ah the life is literally on the phone! Let's see how is the day for most of the people under lockdown :)

We get up, check emails, WhatsApp, maybe stock exchange in Loo? Haha. Then have some easy breakfast like cornflakes or bread butter to save time and start working as soon as possible. Why do we take life for granted and work so seriously? Why is it so important to feel that you are working even if it just means to check your emails and keep replying to it. Are we some sort of advanced robots who are trained to do work now?

What hurts the most is that we understand that some people are struggling to have food, water in these tough times. How can we help them? My heart sinks while thinking about it for a minute but my mind suddenly took the command and ask me to check if there is any client email or are enough people landed on our website yesterday or what are the sources from which we are getting maximum conversions as that will help to pan out our future marketing strategy.

It takes a lot of courage to help someone else because we are now trained to focus too much on ourselves and our families and our future and our careers. But, you have to ask yourself every now and then why are you doing all of this? Are you doing it for money? It makes a lot of sense because hunger and poverty can even shake the most powerful forts. If you are above hygiene then it becomes more important to ask yourself why are you working your ass off or at the least want to work your ass off? Do you have a good answer for that or are you just chasing a dream implanted in your head even before having full toilet training?

Thoughts?
> Now I can be confident in what I'm getting when I buy a Western Digital drive. Good for them!

Are you confident that you'll get a drive that can work in a NAS when on the very same blog page they claim "WD Red HDDs are ideal for home and small businesses using NAS systems" and, indeed, on the data sheet[1], they claim that WD Red drives are "the hard drive of choice for 1 to 8 bay systems"?

At the very least they need to fix the data sheet; that's where I go to assess a drive's capabilities, not a vague blog post.

Don’t think so. South Korea said the reports were incorrect and the President yesterday said the reports were incorrect, media used old documents and he can’t disclose more than that on when he last spoke to Kim.
There's a big population of people who just start from the premise that Amazon must be doing something wrong and search for facts to justify it. I lost my ability to assume good faith when people complained they should pay $15 an hour, they started paying $15 an hour, and then the controversy immediately restarted about how greedy they are to not pay more.
This doesn't seem quite right at least for Glacier Deep Archive. I put 12TB in Ohio in Deep Archive and it is saying it should cost $250. It should cost ~$12. Maybe just some math typos in the calculator?
Lots of great insight here into the weltanschauung of scrambling startups. This one especially: "It’s the nature of boards that they ignore (externally) problems until their hand is forced."

Translation: if the execs are doing a bad job, the board WILL NOT INTERVENE. Nobody on the board wants to take over for an inept manager. If you're waiting for them to do that ... don't wait any more.
The most common business model is freemium, where you funnel users to become paying users of another product of yours, or users can upgrade to a more advanced paid version. Then there's ads. Asking for a payment upfront for a web app will be though. You might remember demos or shareware? Think like that, you give away a free demo, if the user likes it, they will pay for more.

There's one big problem though, if the freemium model doesn't work...
Here's some constructive feedback, since you seem surprised you didn't get much love here:

1. If you're going to show a game, show screenshots and videos.

2. You start with the backstory. I'm not invested enough to sit through your memories of wine and cransky. Who's cransky? Why should I care? I'm here to see the game.

3. Speaking of game links, it's your 3rd link! Link [0] is to some the site of some random guy. You'd think that for a 'Show HN', the first link is of the thing you're trying to show.

4. The link is to a zip file with the executable. People on this site are technical enough that they are not going to download random executable files from a temporary folder on pengaru.com.

5. I figured maybe I'll browse some code on github. Nope, I have to clone your repo and open up files in the editor. I could be clicking on some links on github instead.

Basically, your presentation makes people work more than expected of 'news', and maybe you think it's all worth it because you're obviously invested and proud of your own work, which you should be, but strangers on the internet need a reason to be invested in order to exert more than the minimal effort justified by curiosity.

Think of it this way: if you didn't care enough to spend your time to make your product presentable and attractive - you just threw some things together in a zip file and wrote some stuff in a text box on HN - why would anyone else care to spend their time on it?

> COVID tests aren't DNA tests.

Correct, because SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus and contains no DNA. But the test does work by detecting the viral RNA and it is hard to find the specific stuff (reagents) to perform the test and that's a big reason why we're all sheltering in place without a proper nationwide testing regime.
This and the list of other libraries in responses is a great reason to avoid Python. Its nearly as bad as Javascript, how are you supposed to live with this.

"She said it is also likely that more companies will continue to allow or even prefer employees work from home if they can, which could also eliminate the cost of some office space."

I'm all for allowing WFH, but I fear when the up-front cost savings become more apparent, there may actually be pressure on people to do so regardless of how well it works for them. My impression is that the widespread adoption of open offices was largely for the same reasons (costs).

I think that's a point which is bordering on religious - many people would debate trusting the compiler, especially over time and more complex situations.

I'd certainly tend to agree with you in general but more for the reason that the compiler can abstract over hardware changes across time. I'd take that benefit over the risk of the optimisation not being applied for most code I write - non-optimisations would be considered bugs and probably/eventually fixed.

I'd strongly disagree the code is more complex (in this case).

I've been in touch with the people at Interview Kickstart. They seem like nice people, but I'm pretty sure I know what my problem is - not doing the coding rounds with 100% perfect optimal solutions, when another competing candidate is doing so.

For example, in my failed FB interview above, I quickly and successfully solved two problems in the phone screen - thus I passed. The first onsite (virtual) coding round I struggled on the first problem but got it with about 10 minutes to spare. Main issue was that the optimal solution involved doing something in JavaScript that AFAIK typically considered bad practice. The second problem I waltzed through in 5 minutes. The second coding round I got the first problem, but there was an edge case bug I didn't catch, and fixing that took up the entire 45 minutes so I didn't get to a second problem. I'm guessing that was a big negative signal.

I know communication goes a long way, but considering how competitive these positions are at FAANG level companies, I'm sure there is someone else out there that communicates and vibes just as well as I do in addition to getting the 100% optimal solution quickly.

The one thing I can see a service like IK offering me is networks and referrals, but not sure how much that would be worth, especially since they aren't exactly cheap. That said, I'd pay the tuition without hesitation if they could guarantee me a job (of any level) at a FAANG level company, but that's not the case :). Or at least a 100% refund if I fail to get into such a company after a period following the curriculum - but I feel that's easier promised than done even if they were to offer such.

I have friends at some of these companies who have given me referrals, but ultimately all that does is give me higher odds of getting an interview, and in some cases, a chance to directly chat with the hiring manager prior to the interview. For whatever it's worth I've had managers express great enthusiasm about having someone like me on their team after a conversation, but then I get torpedoed for not being able to find the perfectly optimal solutions to some leetcode medium/hard.
But it probably won't fix the climate:

As with most posters here:

* I love Fedora, use it as my primary OS for more than a decade

* also love Thinkpads, have used on and off for 25+ years

But I have mixed feelings about this announcement and hope it is just more vaporware (as Fedora on Thinkpad has been announced before).

Part of what I love about Fedora is that it is just on the other side of the river from corporate RHEL. So it inherits a ton of the infrastructure and the process and so forth, but it doesn't have to pay for it.

Instead Fedora gets shiny new things pretty quickly and sometimes, not often, things break. Support is- whatever you can find. That's great.

Once you get into the world where stuff has to work because sales and support contracts- the dynamic changes. Fewer new things, less speed, more conformity.

It's not Fedora any more.

We could see this looming in the acquisition. Hope it takes yet still longer for the bureaucracy to chew through.

But in a well working market, why wouldn't bank X provide a lower rate than bank Y if the loan is less risk and very profitable? And then bank Z sees a potential profit and undercuts bank X. Repeat until you get a rate that reflects the risk?

So the real question is: What is wrong in the high-end US mortgage market? Are banks breaking anti-trust laws and setting price floors?

This is a very perceptive reading. It is true that Aristotle believes you can't live a good life without certain conditions obtaining, conditions which are outside of individual control. Sometimes this is called "moral luck" in contemporary writing. It is true that in every society we know of, certain people or certain classes of people are much better positioned to live well.

But just because the Ethics alone doesn't fully address the social issues you rightly raise (about helping others be free) doesn't mean it implies that they are irrelevant to individual ethics. They are just out of scope for the book. The Politics is more about what kind of society creates the conditions for people to achieve the good life described in the Ethics. There are, however, parts of the Ethics that do bear directly on this question — the parts on generosity, friendship, and education.

Your last question — how to decide between different virtues if they conflict — is also a good one. The best answer I can come up with is that virtue ethics is based on the idea that open-ended judgment is going to be exercised in any ethically significant situation, and it does not attempt to give a rigid framework for decision-making. I would suggest that any framework that does try to do that is brittle, and trading flexibility for false clarity.

Indeed, the comments allude at this possibility (note the TODO):

https://github.com/capnproto/capnproto/blob/77f20b4652e51b5a...

But in practice, the only kind of "script" we support currently is following a chain of named fields followed by invoking a new RPC method, unconditionally, as in:

fooResult = cap.foo();
quxResult = fooResult.bar.baz.qux();

This seems to satisfy the vast majority of real-world use cases.

I would only add other operations if I identified some use case where it turns out to be a really big performance win. So far I haven't seen any.
Multiply by 0.5 would be slower, as it's a floating point operation rather than simple arithmetic.

For the most part. Nobody who wants to be a manager should, and everyone who could would rather not.

The big drawback to good managers is that they stand up for their teams and don't kiss boot the way bad ones might.

Numbers for new deaths have been hovering between 0 and 5 for the last month in SF, SF has had a total of 22 people dead, due to successful lockdown measures it basically never hit SF.

I agree with what you say in principle, but just to play devil's advocate.

One difference between those highly paid software companies and others, is the expectation of performance. Netflix famously considers their team a sports team rather than a typical corporation. It's totally common for a great engineer to bomb out of those companies, just like how great athletes get kicked off top tier sports teams when they failed to perform due to reasons out of their control.

While most other companies, lacking the ability or willingness to pay top dollars, are probably better off creating a safe environment for engineers who can be on-par or even better than FAANG engineers, but lack the political maturity to survive those high pressure environment.

But the people in charge are often oblivious to this situation, because it feels to them like everyone is in the loop. Mostly because "the loop" has been happening for a long time as a side-effect of people overhearing conversations.

Of course this problem also manifests when a company grows to the point where no one sits within earshot anymore.

What is happening here is that the girl is drawn in a confusing way: with childlike and also with adult traits. Also, the big eyes form a supernormal stimulus [1]. As such it is "hacking" into the brain of the viewer. Some people are more sensitive to this than others. In any case it distracts from the actual subject (the console software). As for work, I wouldn't consider it appropriate.
