I totally agree with you, but let's be honest, in this publish-or-perish world in academy, and the cut-throat environment of VC-funded start-ups, people will, if not outright lie, exaggerate the nature and importance of what they are doing. Too much money and "prestige" is at stake.

The "right" way is slow, lonely and unglamorous. And most importantly without that fast money, acquisitions and promotions.
FWIW, monetization strategies do influence how a game plays - at least for people who don’t pay extra.

Energy limits how much you can play the game in a particular day.

XP Bonuses ensure that there’s a greater-than-normal (probably dull) grind to progress through the game.

Cosmetics mean that there will be few, if any, cosmetic rewards for playing the game. (An aside: yes, this matters. If cosmetics weren’t an important part of a game, why would they sell them?)

Lootboxes (gacha, etc) mean that the ability to make substantial progress through the game will rely on luck (and grinds to get the chance to test that luck).

And, something new coming to roguelikes/lites, “Undo” consumables mean that you’ll be starting over more than you’d expect to.

Otherwise, I agree with your overall definition of Roguelikes.
A first level response would be that you were hired at a salary to do a job.

If you can't or won't do a coding job I hire you for, I would back-fill for myself and you would be on the street. (Cost of capital for startups isn't cheap!)
What's so great about Go?
Hi, MBA here, not sure what "training" you're referring to. Certainly nothing I learned in school taught me to focus on quarterly results and ignore R&D. I learned to attempt to push ROIC above WACC in order to ensure firms are generating economic profits, I learned that we probably should capitalize R&D and include it in ROIC to show that it does impact value, among other things
That's perfect. Thanks.
In PA, my understanding is that you must show ID the first time you vote at a new polling place.

I would trust mail ballots because they are delivered to your residence. Pretty hard for a foreign actor to fake/game that kind of system -- or at least, harder than posting a bunch of inorganic FUD comments on social media such as HN.

I'm curious, where do MUDs [1] fit into this hierarchy? Has all the properties: free, dungeon crawl, text based, permadeath, grid based, nonmodal

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUD
I used them a lot in the past. Man did they stink!
There are really two properties which are essential for a metaphor to convey understanding (which is not to say no other aspects have an effect—they certainly do, but I'm just trying to narrow down the 'functional core' here):

1. It needs to be expressed in the terms of a subject already understood by the listener.

2. It should have a 'structure' which is similar to that of the new, not yet understood subject.

These two things allow an identification to be made between something already understood and something not yet understood, granting new understanding.

The idea that the library should be 'normal' is not essential; it just needs to be understandable. (granted if it became too unusual it could cause problems, but I'll just leave it up to the reader's judgement whether "a library with 25 books" is too large a stretch of the imagination)

What's really nice about the above metaphor is that its structure matches the situation with coding very closely: technical debt is about the up front time-cost of introducing new systems of organization to replace ad-hoc, unsystematic methods whose cost-effectiveness decreases as project complexity (to put it loosely) increases.

While this is a pretty abstract notion in itself, the library scenario captures the same key points and dynamics in a way that's comprehensible to anyone with an understanding that libraries use 'systems of organization' (even if they don't know an abstract term for it)—this still works even if the particular set up for the 'library' in the example would not be found in the real world.
Are managers at a pizza shop / drywall contractor / design studio better than the average startup?

We can safely leave out "design studio" as these are much closer conceptually to programming shops.

But going by my own experience working jobs closer the former two categories - I would say "yes, and by a wide margin". The reasons for this are very straightforward:

(1) Both the customer needs, and the performance metrics in business in the "pizza-drywall" camp are generally much more "pure" (dare we say 10x as pure) as those in SD.

As in: "Can you make a pizza so good that not only you would would want to eat it as often as you could - but your friends would brag to their friends and neighbors about it as well? Or at least be good enough for the market / price range we're after? And can you make X per day, every day? And like not be a dick or show up hungover and stuff."

Versus: Are you a "culture fit"? Can you stay on top of the latest buzzwords? Can you spend all your available time for several weeks or months cramming for our ridiculous interview process - and put up with all the whiteboarding, ghosting and other gratuitous humiliations that we expect you to eat, eat, eat, and eat some more of in return for the exquisite pleasure of working with us? And once we deign to let you in - will you go along with our various brainwashing rituals (standups, agile, "DevOps culture", etc)? Or at least pretend to? BTW if you're kind of a dick that's actually okay being as many of us are, as you'll find out eventually.

(2) Infinitely less emphasis on what might loosely be called "theoretical" management techniques (see above) versus, again, nuts-and-bolts: "Can you do the work? Will you be happy doing it? Can we get along?"

Hands-down - while it would never be sustainable economically - I was infinitely happier at many of the food service / delivery / random construction jobs than at at least 50 percent of the tech industry jobs I've had.
I agree, fwiw.

I explicitly caveated my statement with "Using a PhD as a gateway into applied ML" for a reason. The vast majority of people going into applied ML are not pioneering new methods. They're using ML as a tool to support business objectives. This is the group I'm talking about.

The phrase "bent of mind" roughly implies "the way someone thinks". Its usage is declining I suppose but there's nothing connotatively nefarious there.

I'm sorry to hear that - I didn't mean it as a criticism, (you're free to work on or not work on whatever you want of course!) I was just surprised at the level of traction the post was getting I suppose.

All the best.
The interesting question is which company it makes the most sense to try to save. Intel seems to be plagued by various mismanagement and doesn't have a strong record as a contract fab for the other companies that may need a competitor to TSMC. If you're going to save somebody it may make as much sense to try to get one of the other players back into the state of the art game, like GlobalFoundries, which also operates several good (but not as good as TSMC) contract fabs in the US.

You modulate laser A with laser B for the same reason, on a chip transistor, you modulate current A with current B. The end goal is to power a series of switches/circuits from a small number of powered lasers external to the chip.
> In the case of Finland, it is made clear by advertising from semi/official sources (like this website), if not explicitly but very heavily implied, that you can move here and get by fine with English.

Imo, that's just an excuse. I live in a country that has fantastic English speakers, don't even plan on staying here longer than 3 years and still took the time to learn the language (probably B2-B1 after 2 years). Sure, it's understandable that not everybody wants to do that, but it should be obvious to any foreigner that you lock yourself out of a multitude of jobs by not learning the language.

The only reason I'm saying this is because the top comment listed learning the native language as a negative, which imo it really isn't.

> If I had lived in France for as long as I have in Finland (not even a full year), then there is no question that my French would be at a much higher level than my Finnish is now.

That may be true for you, but definitely not for others. There are foreigners living in France that can barely count in the language. I've seen and heard that first hand. Some extreme example have been in the country a decade. It really depends on where you move to, where you work, who you surround yourself with, and how motivated you are.

ROIC: return on invested capital

I have never read any philosophy but recently discovered existentialism and now Stoicism basically by exploring my own thoughts.

I've been lately thinking about life, emotions, relationships, etc. I don't know if I am naive but when I contemplate these things it makes complete sense.

The premise for my philosophy is that life is absurd with no pre-defined purpose unless the one running the simulation starts tweeting.

So I accept the absurdity and take it as an opportunity to do whatever will make me feel the most alive with a peaceful mind. (root node)

Now thinking in terms of first principle and contemplating situations I hardly ever get angry or sad (lately) because I'm mutating from my natural instinct of reaction (where the unconscious mind kicks in) to a more robust framework of response (why? -> okay -> work on it). (work in progress)
If I know that something is not under my control, I'd probably not waste any energy on it unless it conflicts with my root node if it does then I'd switch to the problem-solving mode.

Most of my actions are just functions aim towards maximizing the root node, and the above framework kinda makes it efficient.

In my POV, if I can pattern match the cue for anger using the above framework with enough iteration I don't really think that it's unrealistic to control anger or any emotion.
Scala means ladder in Italian and Sega means handjob

The French Word fiche means casino token and has been popularized by American Casinos and movies, yet in Italian it reads fike and it's a quite vulgar slur which literally means vaginas but it's used to say "nice looking girls"

It's the plural of fica, which sounds exactly like the Swedish fika, that means coffee break

You can imagine how that sound for an Italian to be offered a fika

Lumia means prostitute in Spanish

BTW a preservative in French is a condom...

Letting financial markets and lending spiral out of control just for the sake of having a mega IPO on public display to the world is a horrible idea. I actually see this move as a good sign that Chinese governance is still very functional. They're putting the health of the financial system ahead of their image as the new finance superstar, it would have been easy to just let it go through to show off China's financial independence.

Letting unregulated finance run rampart isn't a signal of achieving your full potential. It's a fairly new development maybe from the 80s onward.
I got a used laser printer few years ago and I still didn't need to replace anything. It feels like it can print ad infinitum. And I paid like £30 for it. Ink printers is a scam.
This is one of those things I would have just assumed was impossible, so never would have tried. Not that I should try something like this, mind, but it is a good reminder not to underestimate these machines we have.
Can you elaborate on this? Who was scared off, and how/why was this done?

As a manager, I feel that whenever I have to use authority I've failed.

If a manager is unable to convince a team member and forces them to take some path by pulling rank, isn't it a recipe for disaster regardless of age? In my experience, begrudging compliance is not a recipe for quality code.
2020's Infrastructure for Changelog.com [audio]
A very partisan write up. I love NZ honey and make a point of buying a particular NZ manuka honey (arataki) when I see it, but the Australian manuka honey is not "cashing in" on the NZ trade, it has existed for decades and medicinal honey for tropical ulcer treatment has existed for decades in Australia.

The decision to award DOC classification was itself a "cashing in" move despite manuka being patently a semi generic term for plants found throughout Australasia.

It was a smart move, and I don't fault them for seeing this as a tactic in a competitive trade market, but lets not pretend there is a substantive difference between the products here.

NZ manuka honey is now also riven by violent gang crime cashing in on the huge profits. Hive stealing is a thing.

Sugerbag, a dark runny native bees honey in Australia is worth more per kg. Designer chefs want it.
Would there be any way for similar protections to come to digital auto insurance cards?
ouch, I did not know that! thanks for the warning, need to check if my installed version has the fix already.
Additionally, proper maintenance (or its analog to other disciplines) will usually identify when it's time to do a full replacement. Which is much better than finding out by way of catastrophe.
I'm only one person involved, but my primary reason for choosing Theano over TensorFlow has to do with the ability to manipulate and reason symbolically about models/graphs.

In order to improve the performance and usability of PyMC, I believe we need to automate things at the graph level, and Theano is by far the most suitable for this--between the two, at least.

You can find some work along these lines in the Symbolic PyMC project (https://github.com/pymc-devs/symbolic-pymc); it contains symbolic work done in both Theano and TensorFlow.

Let me ask a question: it is possible? I think it is. Has the NSA / CIA / some other TLA done this? If it's possible, and it's useful for their 'mission' -- hard for me to believe they have NOT done this, or something like it. Paranoid? maybe; but I've seen too much, heard too much.
Even after reading this story twice and the follow up article (where Whole Foods "backed down") I'm still not clear what has happened in this case. Great journalism. This article quotes the employee directly but the companies statements are noticeably not direct quotes. The bit you mentioned "A poppy does not comply with that policy, the company confirmed" is not given any context. Confirmed to who? When? The original employee? Did CBC ask them to comment? Who did they speak to?

In the follow-up article [0] which is framed as "Whole Foods reverse their ban" they do actually have a quote from a spokesperson who says "Our intention was never to single out the poppy or to suggest a lack of support for Remembrance Day". So if they didn't single out Poppies was this just a blanket ban on all "cause/political" adjustments to uniform that Poppies were included in (because a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of simple minds)? Or did they send out an email to all staff saying "Don't wear a Poppy because we hate our nation's war dead and their sacrifice" but thanks to the righteous fury of the Canadian people and Christians in general they've been defeated. Or more likely some awkward position in the middle? The context really matters.

Clearly this is a non-story either way but it's a classic example of events being given without sufficient context and intended to generate outrage (4k comments and counting on the news site). Later people will remember that time when Whole Foods banned Poppies and it took a massive campaign to get them to change their mind...11 hours later.

Big companies do sometimes double down on seemingly unpopular policies in these kinds of cases (British Airways were sued and lost in the European Court of Human Rights because they penalised a Christian woman who refused to cover up religious jewellery [1]) but that's the exception. Mostly the policy (if it ever existed) is quietly amended or reinterpreted.

Webgl is honestly a pretty good mid ground between them.
Roguelikes tend to have a text-based map, like: you have a location on an X-Y grid; some cells of the grid have walls and things. Also, time moves forward at your own pace.

MUDs vary widely, but typically operate by discretizing things into "rooms", often with description in writing rather than as a map layout; the various "rooms" form a graph. If you've played Colossal Cave Adventure, like that (but with fewer puzzles and more combat). Also, time moves forward at the server's preferred pace.
The examples you cite are people with operational excellence that were built up internally over many years. As an outsider I have no trust that Intel still has such talent, it seems they are fully run by bean counters now. Who says it's a Microsoft and not a Kodak? Microsoft had the immeasurable advantage of two big markets cornered for themselves: enterprise software and home computers software. Intel meanwhile is a market leader that is getting outplayed on every market, the only thing in their favor is missing volume by their competitors - that's not an advantage that is going to last long.
Oh my god, I just finished this book, and I had the exact same thought. Serendipitous
Indeed. I had the same feeling. The article mentions that the regulation changes were already known.

This is just me speculating, but what if Jack realized the IPO would be a disaster (for that reason or others) and decided that this was the best strategy to halt it without recourse?

> Nightlife is just one of those things America does bigger and better

That's highly debatable, I'm European and lived in SF/LA for a while, night life over there always felt "fake" (I don't know how to explain it better but i know many people in my circles felt the same) compared to my experience in Europe, it was like being in a parody of an American feel good movie. So I guess it's very dependent on where you come from and what you grew up with.

For gamers, I expect these will be priced such that Intel will offer a better price-to-performance ratio than AMD. I've seen so many industry pundits talking about the defeat of Intel for the last 2 generations, but gamers just quietly look the frames-per-second to $ ratio and keep buying Intel and the cheaper Intel-based motherboards. I think Rocket Lake will allow this trend to continue while Intel prepares Alder Lake.
The team tech debt had never translated well to any stake holders be they management or product.

Recently I've made the decision to frame all of this as reliability problems. My message is that if you want engineers to provide 24/7 support, which they invariably do, then you must allow them to work on the reliability of system as they see it, they are after all now in a way a customer of that system in terms of their work life balance.

I have not yet had to say we can no longer support a system 24/7, we'll see how it goes.

> My perspective is that every process node is so critical that missing the mark on 10nm had far-reaching ramifications.

The problem with Intel missing on 10 nm is not so much that 10 nm is critical, but that it is critical to their roadmap. Large CPU design is heavily pipelined (like large CPUs), so you miss on the process node, you've still got a team building the refined next release for the year after, and a third team working on the more refined release for the following year.

Then you have decision making; it's hard to get a sense for if you need to go back and make a good new design on 14 nm, if 10 nm is going to be ready enough soon (but it's been several years now of not ready enough), splitting design resources.

Previous discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24919710
Given the company, it's usually long-term contracts that more closely resemble full-time employment. The location is also usually outside of the biggest, most expensive cities.

$120/hr * 40 hrs/wk * 50 wks/yr = $240K before self-employment taxes and paying for insurance. Ends up being comparable to typical compensation in cities that aren't SF, Seattle, or other top-tier markets.

Now if someone was doing more typical ad-hoc freelance work on a project basis, $120/hr might be too low for typical work. However, $90-120/hr as a contractor with a long-term contract and stable pay over 12-18 months is not uncommon.

Unless someone has a lot of new, small contracts knocking at their door nonstop, it can make more financial sense to take a $120/hr long-term contract over sporadic $200+/hr work that changes month to month.
