There seems to have been a renissance of this old school early / mid 90's FPS genre lately. I love it!

I think Quake and Hexen for the Sega Saturn were two of the first FPS games I ever seriously played through, the former running on the exceptional Lobotomy engine that also fueled the fantastic Saturn exclusive 'Exhumed'. :)
It looks like you've been using HN primarily for political and nationalistic battle. That's against the site guidelines and we ban accounts that do it because, as the guidelines explain, it spoils the curiosity that this site exists for. So would you please stop doing this?

If you want more explanation there are plenty of past explanations at these links:

Sure it does, because what is relevant are ecosystems, not language grammars.

Yes, C# the language is better designed than Java the language, while .NET the ecosystem is is tiny spot of Java the ecosystem.

When I mention JVM, I mean any implementation, I don't mix Java with Hotspot.

And yes PTC and Aicas sell full Java SE compliant implementations for embedded development.

The only embedded options for .NET are Netduino, hardly market relevant, and Wilderness Labs, which doesn't cover at all the kind of industrial deployments PTC, Aicas, microEJ and Gemalto are doing.

I work with Java and .NET alongside each other since they exist, so I know pretty well the pros and cons of each platform, specifically outside the implementations that people mix with the language.
That’s what I was thinking.
Now that we have Elixir (Erlang looking like Ruby) and Crystal (Go concurrency dressed up like Ruby[1]), I'd be primarily be interested to see how these two languages stack up against each other, what niches they might address etc.

Ah yes, aspoly- and perfluoroalkyl substances, or PFASs, now banned by the FDA. Not sure if that's what they used here, but it sounds similar.

I am really curious, should I have avoided this comment?

I honestly believed that his reply to the person making "just a point" was more arrorgant and not something that came out intellectually.
All it has to do is keep the battery below 4.2v. I don't see anything advanced in purposely cycling the battery. Li-Ion (li-po) chemsitry has not changed much in the latest years. Alternatively if detecting power for prolonged times (say 24-36+ hours, it can keep the battery at 4v)
I love these kind of games, check out WRATH: Aeon of Ruin by the same studio, I truly recommend it! So much fun, reminds me of being young and silly.. wasting afternoons exploring and admiring the same level for countless hours (back when internet was only very limited by my parents haha)

Yeah, sorry, then how about we stop producing so many security vulnerabilities?

Because otherwise, we will end up in a world where no running code can be older than a month and software that is not actively being developed as part of a profitable business is automatically dead.

Code does not rot and can be copied arbitrary many times. Why do we bend over backwards to turn an abundant resource not just into a scarce but into an expiring resource?
I’m pretty sure this is happening due to the omega fat ratio. Corn oil is just omega-6, which is bad for you alone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio_of_fatty_acids_in_differ...

Beef fat might be neutral in terms of ALD, as it doesn’t contain any polyunsaturated fat.

I'm a few weeks into Elixir and it and the ecosystem definitely feel more techy and mathy than Ruby. It's more comparable to JS and node, it's like a more consistent JS without the OO stuff plus convention over configuration.
Cannot believe I am saying this, but please do not export freshwater to Mars.
I looked around and was only able to find that Witness Protection offers a name change, with a lot of the service being relocation under that new name. I'd be curious to see if they go beyond a simple name change and issue, for example, a new SSN and birth certificate.
I think this is a nice article. Particularly the thing about "only working on one thing" - I often see teams having to juggle ten different projects at once due to management. This just means that you do none of them particularly well.
I don't care about any of these three languages. I will never need to learn them because they are not used in the real world of today's tech stacks.
I am questioning you decision here.

"deepglacier/bluetreeroot" are one and the same account engaging in "sock puppet" deception which is completely unethical. Moreover in my original post, i had actually pointed out his/her lack of knowledge on the subject matter and also listed a scholarly and peer-reviewed paper on the subject (see below). Instead all i got was more selective quotes in response. Thus my response was necessarily harsh in order to drive home the point that one needs a nuanced study of the subject and not just random quotes without context.

PS: Here is the paper again: "Caste and purity: A study in the language of the Dharma literature" - https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/006996679803200203
I was at the beach next to an airport recently. There was a small private jet doing practice approaches along the runway but not landing. It really was the case that I would't hear it until it was on top of me. Also had some raptors silently swoop in and steal my lunch out of my had at that beach. Jerks.
Coming into Elixir from mostly doing Python but having it strongly recommended by a Rubyist I was a bit surprised to find myself in the middle of an implicit ex-Ruby world. It has been fine. But in contrast to the article, Elixir has always been about Erlang/OTP for me. I've never cared much about Ruby/Rails because it felt equivalent to the Python/Django which I already know.
People don't understand the whole reason behind fake reviews not being removed

Let's go through a series of questions

A) Will lower review ratings lead to less sales at Amazon or more sales at Amazon?

B) will clear division between 'best in class' products and inferior products give Amazon more monopoly control over the market, or less?

C) Will the difficulty in getting easy fake reviews get more people to jump into selling things at Amazon or less?

Amazon needs a Tragedy of the Commons type of situation

That more and more small businesses jump in, generate sales using fake reviews, and give Amazon its cut

This in terms makes existing businesses smaller and more dependent on Amazon

They basically want 1 million companies each making $100,000 to $1 million a year at Amazon

Commoditization, so whoever Pays Amazon the most, can be boosted

And these 'pay to play' businesses are INDISTINGUISHABLE from the actual best businesses

*

Their aim is NOT

1) The best companies and the best products sell very well and get the best reviews

2) Customers buy more and more of those products

3) Those companies (providing the best products) become bigger and bigger

Their aim is 'Glorification of the Mediocre' - Commodification and Mediocritization of EVERYTHING

1) Every company's products sell almost the same

2) Companies are dependent more and more on 'advertising' at Amazon

3) Amazon's cut becomes higher and higher

4) An end point where Amazon can take 50% to 75% of what customers pay

Look at Audible and what terms they have there after becoming a monopoly

Same for ebooks where they are close to becoming a monopoly in US and UK

They first want 65% cut (if you don't give them exclusivity)

Then they want ebook and audiobook authors to spend out of their paltry 35% cut - to advertise their product on Amazon

So they are, in effect, asking for a 75% to 90% cut of what customers pay
Benefits of Open Source Technology for Enterprises
There are several benefits of open-source technology that proprietary software often lacks, making them a viable solution for businesses.

Picking the right software for running your business should always be taken carefully, considering the offerings available in the market while weighing-in its short and long term benefits on your company.

Open-source software is often the go-to choice of businesses if they’re not particularly looking for a specific feature as they are easier to customize.
Or because the comment was low effort.
You haven't used much LINQ, pattern matching, spans, ranges, default interface methods, non null references in C#, I guess.
I do this to, preferring the top left (close to the Apple logo menu).

I use the bottom right corner for revealing the desktop. Extra handy while dragging files.
Not entirely sure how true that is.

I’m a heavy vim user and I love it, but that’s me.

I work with people who can navigate codebased absurdly swiftly and debug things faster than I ever could, and they use visual studio keybindings.

It’s all about knowing your tools; I’m a sysadmin so vim (Or, vi) has a high value for me as learning the keybindings makes me more powerful on my entire fleet.

For developers though? Debugging and codebase navigation is significantly more valuable- you read more than you write.
In fact you complain a lot on any thread where Apple or Android are mentioned. Even your response above appears to be dripping with contempt about Android manufacturers and users. Your comment about "rights" sic is surprising: you appear to support corporation's rights to tell me how to spend my money and to pretty much tell us peons to stfu up right to repair. Why? What harm is there to offer an opinion to companies about what they make? You got what you wanted with your sealed/non-repairable black boxes. Companies get repairable devices because they ask for them. Is it wrong for us mere nothings to try to ask for the same? I have read hundreds of your postings and I just don't get you: you would not like it if I did to you what you are doing to me and yet you don't see it. It's sad.
Maybe, but our company uses services from at least three companies that use elixir: Divvy, Slab, and Pagerduty. Discord uses elixir. And Whatsapp famously uses erlang. But I suppose those companies are fictional.
End of life is important to cars. Many cars are leased, calculation of the resale value at the end of the lease is important to the price you pay. Then the next buyer expects to have some value in the now 7-10 year old car to apply to the next one. That is only possible because it is repairable for the most part.

Of course computers are cheaper, nobody really expects a computer to last more than 5 years, so repair isn't nearly as important.
I totally agree that it's possible for people to produce a ton more value than others. I just think it's super rare.

In my experience it's a lot more common that I see people churning out 10x the AMOUNT of code (or some other insane metric) which generates an enormous amount of work for everyone else to keep up with, fix, maintain, understand, etc. These people are praised for their output. But are they making the TEAM 10x more productive? No way.

Prolific output doesn't always mean 10x value created. I know people know this, but I think the reason people are sick of the trope is because they've been burned by a "10x'er" that was all output, not actual value.

Producing 10x value is actually.. really, really hard.

Don't ever want to build a web app? That's pretty much Elixir's sweet spot, IMO. You'll get great productivity, great scalability, performance that's better than popular interpreted languages and a code base that's easy to reason about.

You'll also be able to do a lot from within the VM instead of relying on external services.
Cozy is a modern audiobook player for Linux
neither Go nor Crystal have the same sort of failure-domain support that Erlang Vm provides.
Then go to Switzerland. If you find a job and have EEU citizenship (not sure about residence permit), getting a permit to stay is just a form and less than 100.-. you can’t find a better place in the EEU for salaries imho. In a small town, your expenses are rather low and these jobs pay 80–120k CHF with taxes around 15–30% depending on the kanton.

Yeah. Some games fix it by having small enough dungeons that scouring them all isn't such a big deal (Brogue comes to mind). Others use a hunger clock (I think Spelunky's ghost is actually the best hunger clock I've seen).

I think Noita would benefit from harder monsters, with much higher gold drops (or cheaper shops), and a tight hunger clock. Though that's somewhat at odds with the cool side dungeons (which are already at odds with the rest of the game).
I guess you would be surprised at the amount of people who borrow from people with an actual gun. The short explanation is that some people are really desperate for money right now.

NASA is required to adhere to (self-defined) planetary protection guidelines, but as yet there's no US law against it as it has not previously been considered possible for anyone but the government to be in a position to do so.
That's very true. A 3 minute single compresses nicely down to floppy size using Opus - with very little quality loss.

Can anyone explain what a backtick is please?
I don't think that's fair. I guarantee if what you suggested came to pass there would be projects that swap to debug builds to solve a momentary issue... and never swap back.

The metagameplay -- rogue reset you, permanently, when you died. Similarly when you die in FTL you have to start all over.

It's both an incorrect term (because, as you mentioned, the overlap with rogue is limited) and absolutely the correct term (because people generally understand what it means, even if they've never heard of rogue).

I think it's important to remember that language evolves, it's more important to be understood than to be correct. Shouting into a hurricane isn't going to stop the storm, no matter how right you are.
That would depend on what you mean by perfect and how this system would work? If it were to work in the end/reentry phase, I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work against bombers, or ICBMs/cruise missiles launched from submarines also? Either it can fly-swat anything incoming, or it can't.
While I understand the point of the treaty, do you think it will have any teeth once private companies are able to provide their own infrastructure? Just out of curiosity (due to my own lack of legal knowledge in this area), how is it that a treaty that a) is for another plant, solar system, celebration body etc and b) if I didn’t personally sign or recognize this treaty then how can this treaty apply to me, a citizen of a non-space power?
Very cool! I'm working on something similar in my sparetime. Good to see there's still interest in this kind of thing
Yes, that's what I did. Opus plays in all browsers except Apple's. So I went for an mp3 bitrate which didn't degrade the sound any further.
It's funny how people can differ. I despise IDE so much .. sometimes with good arguments (non ergonomic, non helpful, bloated, non customizable, configuration hidden somewhere..).

I found vim edition natural, emacs programmability very natural. But it's true there was a holier than thou at first.
VimGdb/clewn .. but I don't remember having as good a time with debugging in vim until Termdebug came along, and mostly just had another terminal for gdb when needed.
And you didn't acknowledge your silly logic error so we are even.

I would expect the opposite to be true; if you are known to offer good rates but with onerous consequences, then your counterparties should self-select to be those who are likely to repay. Lower rates are simply your CAC.
The problem here is that naive people think organizations which essentially have a blackmail model to recover dues will stick to purely legal means when they discover you have stiffed them.
It's the key beside "1", namely "`"
I think the following characteristics define "roguelike" games:

* Permadeath / "ironman mode", generally enforced by the game

* Procedural generation of game levels/encounters

* "Progression" elements, where the encounters get more difficult but the player is gaining resources to allow them to overcome those challenges (as opposed to simply gaining mechanical skill at the game)

These three elements combine to make a game where you lose early and often, but starting over gives you the opportunity to experience the game differently, due to the procedural nature as well as because you have the opportunity to invest your resources differently, hopefully making better decisions.

I don't think they need to be strictly RPGs, but the progression elements are key. Those elements are present in FTL, for example, if you consider that the ship itself is the main character.

That's some amazing news.
I would say that in my experience everything outside of Phoenix is more explicit than python. There's a lot of hidden implicitness in python that drives me up the wall when I'm trying to chase a bug in someone else's code; I rarely have that problem in Elixir (even with phoenix, usually chasing where the code comes from is not terribly hard).
Its a matter of switching between Vim windows rather than (in my case) Terminator windows - not that much of a difference to be honest, but the code navigation and completion within Termdebug is pretty dope - using it within vim means access to the compiledb navigation functionality ..

* Changing aircraft (NZ1 - NZ5 & NZ6 - NZ2) - Clear customs
* Connecting from Air New Zealand to another airline - Clear customs
* Connecting from an international flight - Clear customs

The only one that doesn't specifically say "Clear customs" is:

* Continuing on the same aircraft (NZ1 & NZ2)

That does say "directed by ground staff to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) processing" but apparently the luggage does stay on the plane. (Although this route disappears in a month because almost no-one uses it, "<7% in 2018".)

I concede that <7% of passengers from LHR to AKL won't need to specifically go through customs with their luggage.
Doesn't that involve funny things?
This may work in a large hotel chain, but not in a b&b which licenses their it solution from a 3rd party that never wants to speak with you.
People living in such small villages, all know each other. If there would be a series of thefts, the company could just remove the shop (as it is a in a portable container) and all the people in the village would get hurt. The kind of people that live in such villages, have no intention to cause this kind of hurt to each other. These kind of villages are so remote that it is just to expansive for an outsider to drive up to there and do some small shoplifting.

I guess the purpose of the camera is more to see if everything is okay with the shop than to prevent shoplifting.

> Even though it could be seen as a positive point, I think that all the great plugins emacs has make it very bloated, and that’s a problem to me. For instance, Org-mode, which is a wonderful piece of software, should have benefited much more people if it was a standalone application. To me, it feels like starting using emacs will lead to using your computer to run emacs, and all your applications inside emacs. It even has an IRC plugin and an email reader plugin!

That's the point, yes.

Emacs' philosophy isn't so much text editing as it is using text as a convenient representation of something else and then having a powerful set of text-editing primitives you can use to manipulate whatever it is you're using text to represent. Living inside Emacs means always getting to use those customized, "slick" (in the author's words) text editing commands to do everything.

Emacs has gotten to where Web browsers are going, except Emacs isn't evil unless you actively make it so. ;)
My dad (jet pilot) told me how he'd do ground attack in Korea against a fixed gun position:

1. Come in with the sun at your back. The gun crew cannot see or hear you.

2. Attack straight down. Gun crew is extremely reluctant to fire straight up for obvious reasons. This is extremely dangerous for the pilot, too, as you have to be exceedingly careful not to overspeed the jet and you have to pull out in time. But he figured it was less dangerous than a flak shell fired at him.

3. Come in flat at treetop level off to the side at high speed. The gun crew cannot crank the gun around fast enough to get the jet in its sights. Then turn in hard and blast away before they can get the gun aimed.
This is really interesting to read, I’ve primarily thought about the DB as something which keeps your objects warm. Any recommended sources to read more about this way of treating state?
iFixit gave the latest Surface a fairly decent reparability rating. I was surprised to see how much more improved the teardown was compared to the mess of the earlier versions.
The US has similar laws. I used to work for third party scan tools, in 2006 every manufacturer was giving us information. The big companies made them available for "a reasonable price" which I'm lead to believe was in the range of 50000. The small companies gave it away and begged us to support them. (small companies knew that if their car broke down in the middle of nowhere the only mechanic would be independent and so they wanted every mechanic to have a chance, big companies knew every mechanic would want to work on their cars so they didn't care to make it easy)
