The thing is, esports and casual play help each other out. Streamers and tournaments are watched by hordes of casual players who are able to appreciate what's going on only because they play themselves, albeit at a much lower level. So from a community-building perspective, the ideal game should be playable by both pros and casuals.
True, except for patients age 55+. They did not receive the initial half-concentration dose. That's almost certainly why those receiving the half-concentration dose experienced much higher efficacy (90% vs 62%) — they were younger and had fewer co-morbidities.
This rings very true.

I feel the fundamental difference between productive developers and less productive developers is the way they think, they way they look for solutions and the level of experience they have with what they're building and surrounding environment.

Some people are quick learners but lack experience.
Some have tons of experience but they're not used to find solutions and get stuck.

Those with experience and the right attitude will blow past everyone's else performance.

I feel like saying this is politically incorrect nowadays, though, because meritocracy is not popular today.

Which is probably why we're seeing a rise in this articles trying to explain 10x developers in more social terms (it's teamwork, enabling others, you're lucky to be familiar with the codebase).

Not that I think familiarity with the codebase or teamwork are not important, but there's a difference between people who spent their best years programming night and days, learning advanced concepts and solving tricky problems and those who didn't.

Drop the first ones anywhere and they'll be productive.

But good luck finding them.
The mirror of JWST is too wide - you'd still need the complex folding mechanism.

The ECJ is part of the ECHR framework, not part of the EU framework. So by remaining part of the ECHR, the UK is still -technically- bound by the rulings of the ECJ.

The rub is, that the ECHR has no enforcement mechanism by itself, so the UK could just choose to ignore any rulings of the ECJ it doesn't like. It was the EU treaties that made adherence to the ECJ rulings mandatory, and therefore formed an enforcement mechanism for the ECJ.
How does this guy know so much. Reading this article is like an phone book of name drops and references. I know ppl with master's degrees who do not even know nearly as much. I should have stayed in school longer and done more reading so I would know more. I guess that answers the question of what I would do I if had to do it allover again. Sure beats what I am doing now. I think being a success writer is one of the best jobs in the world even if the pay is not that great because it is high status and you have an impact, whereas many tech jobs may pay better but it feels like you are sometimes working in a vacuum and not getting recognized for your contributions.
At least one famous example

- A young - under 18 - woman aborted. She didn't want her family to know

- Her father received a "Congratulations for the newborn, grandpa" spam

This is wrong - perfectly - just because an ad database secretly knows/deduces/infer/collects/steals that you're a "star wars sex toys" fan does NOT mean it should be allowed to propose you some or to yell it at the face of the earth
I'm of the firm opinion that, while a protocol-based social network would be the ideal, Twitter could still move to a more equitable method of content policing and still make profit: allow people to volunteer to moderate flagged tweets, and if some consensus is reached then the tweet(s) are overridden and can stay.

While this might push the layer one step up, people trolling that system might be easier to find by, say, every so often giving dud examples that clearly and egregiously break rules such that those that mark "keep" can be checked to ensure the system isn't being abused.

Right - 'one of the most powerful CPUs ever created was for a phone' sounds funny, so to get your head around it think instead 'one of the most powerful CPUs ever created was for a miniaturised 4k on-line editing suite and live broadcast system' and it doesn't sound so absurd anymore does it?
Most package manager formats are simple text files as well.

Also, docker doesn’t solve the DLL hell problem, just pushes it out of sight. The nix package manager is something that actually solves it and it should be promoted and leave docker to things it is good at - containerization.
Company of Heroes 2 is fantastic. I bought everyone in my Steam list that game -- it was €1 a few months ago. However flops like Dawn of War 3 (a sister game to CoH) are why publishers are slower to risk on RTS.

Analysis of technologies and potentials for (2019) [High Temperature Heat Pumps] [pdf]
planetary annihilation disagrees, not that your analysis is wrong, because it touches many pain points of the rts genre, but indie succeses with simple graphic do exist.

(also: castle story, darwinia, star ruler in the simple graphics and indie category, zero-k and uncountable space rts in the indie category)

on the other side, Hearts Of Iron and Total War Warhammer sit quite high on steam charts, maybe not runaway success, but they aren't obscure, niche titles either, they both have more players and in-game hours than DayZ and Red Dead Redemption 2, to give you a point of reference, which were both considered hits.

I think the list it's missing two major points: developing a rts cut you off the largish console market (albeit some success exist, it's an uphill battle) and a rts has both a large time commitment and skill ceiling, especially in today online dominated market, so it's a thought sell to the ever growing casual gamers market.
Docker has on the order of 1 second startup time doesn't it? I don't understand why someone would willingly subject themselves to that for things being manually run multiple times per day without an extremely compelling reason.
Depending on the data you are showing there are reasons.

One example is when the results are already ordered by relevance (this might be search matches, proximity, recency). In these cases most everybody will not need to go beyond the first page but you still get the benefit of faster loading and rendering due to reduced amount of data for the first load.

> Nobody else around the table is going to know the game better than him, and hence, there really isn't much sport in bringing your Dominion box out and suggesting we play. This reviewer is perfectly proud of the fact that a newbie doesn't stand a chance against a veteran player.

That's basically true for any game where there's a wide range of possible skill levels. The question is -- how much fun is it, as a beginner, to play against an expert, knowing that you're probably not going to win?

Most games like this (chess, Starcraft, etc), it's not fun at all: the core strategy is to damage your opponent's ability to play and execute their strategy.

Losing in Dominion isn't nearly so bad. A beginner can look at the cards, form a strategy, and see their deck beginning to start to work (or see that it doesn't work) before the game ends. That means you can still try things and have a sense of satisfaction, even if you end up losing.

If you're the competitive type who can't have fun if you're not going to win, then sure, playing someone at a much higher skill level isn't going to work. But lots of people don't mind losing if the process isn't crushing / humiliating like chess, and in those situations, Dominion is a pretty good game. I know a couple where the husband is really into board games, and the wife thinks games are kind of fun but not super-serious; Dominion is one of their go-to games, because he can minmax to his hearts content while still making it fun for her.
> So, you haven't provided a single strong argument for how forums are superior

I did, and actually you did too, but you also conveniently ignored those points. Which lets me know they hit the target very well.

> Our mailing lists are far, far superior, than any alternative forum setups I've ever seen.

Taking into account the last time you checked out a forum setup, then your arguments are understandable. If you take phpBB then of course it's going to be comparing shit with shit, but that's not really what we're discussing.

> Then why do you even visit HN? There's no formatting tools available here, is there?

How is HN related to to this discussion? It would be useful if it too had some formatting tools. Was this supposed to be a "gotcha"-moment? Because it failed miserably.

> I do insist it's [...] but indeed "far superior".

All that I can say here is that you have made up your mind and you have made your decision in the past.

Thankfully more and more projects abandon mailing lists and convert to something more accessible, more usable, they're also doing far better, with far more new people joining. Hm, in a sense people can be thankful even, it acts as a signal for people, if the dead hand of the past is there and doesn't want to let go.

If you wish continue as you have for the past few decades, do so, I can't force you to reconsider. But don't come crying when you lack new people contributing and maintaining.
Yeah, that's a good point. It would be interesting to look at that point in his personal history and determine what drove him. Hmm..
The ads themselves are not the problem (for most people). Rather, the data collection required to gain a competitive edge on ad targeting makes these services increasingly intrusive. They simply have to suck up and store as much data as possible and any failure to do that will cripple their business.
A $100 trillion market value for Bitcoin?! Predicated on the view that nation states will trade all their resources for BTC?! This is not the basis of a sane valuation and also doesn’t address fundamental value.

Is Bitcoin more inherently valuable than garlic coin? If so, why? Just first mover advantage or just because other people think its valuable?

Also how is BTC the most reliable store of value? It’s had multiple crashes and is one of the most volatile instruments.

All the issues were caused by the team at Oxford.

The naming change is likely due to who is leading the charge. The vaccine was developed at Oxford, so at the first news, there was no AZ involvement. As we move towards approval and production, the vast majority of work is being done by the team at AZ. The resources and experiences for manufacturing and distribution are the reason Oxford partnered with a pharma company.
This is terrible on so many levels.

Why does npm execute scripts by default if they are not to be trusted?

I think the author refers to increasing economic activity, employment and consumption. The article is quite poorly written, mostly a range of statements about how Keynes was wrong because I think so. The way out of the COVID crisis has been largely Keynesian for most countries (including the US). Without this boost to counter externalities such as a global pandemic, the impact to unemployment would have been much greater.
Why do you say that? Zeneca is a British company they are quite proud of.
Yeah but we’re talking about a small amount of material. There’s probably more lead in the electronics you use. Dumped in the ocean, it’s nothing.
A fingerprint is there to either identify you or confirm that it is you. Now, if we would allow the software to accept a smooth fingerprint as assign it to a person then this would allow anybody to impersonate that person without additional identification means. This is not a software bug, but a security feature.

Of course the software should be able to detect that there is no fingerprint and require the operator of that software to check for the identity by other means.

Sometimes we don't always have human operators and more things are automated.
You could eschew online multiplayer and just make a single player or LAN game. Most RTS games never got any real competitive play anyways because balancing is a very long and costly process. For indies it also matters that this process must be mind-numbingly boring.
Confidence to spend not hoard. Traditionally that’s just private money, but Keynesian and modern monetary theory extend it to public money too. Possibly over simplified.
Not a single answer explain why targeted ads, legally and competently used, are in principle bad. Of course, like any technology it is not perfect and can be used for bad purposes or straightforwardly abused. That is obviously not the issue.
In the UK the payments industry is absolutely dominated by about half a dozen banks. You can't offer a debit card, or sort/account codes cheaply and with a direct, low volume interface into payments. This means there is less competition and choice.

The Bank of England is consulting on a CBDC and people from small, nimble providers who can change their tech more cheaply than big incumbents are representing the view that a CBDC can open up the payments infrastructure for them. It is hard to imagine a better development for them, and consumers.

Less positively, the whole critique of Keynesianism was answered decades ago and it amazes me that this is still a debate. Facts are facts, people have lives and need to consume, optimising without regard to this is abstracting human consequences out of the equation and therefore morally abhorrent. The Austrian school is for people who don't need to live with the agony of unemployment or deprivation.
> We do not have a similar level of understanding for the mRNA type. And yet we are pushing it out at a never seen before scale and speed.

It's my understanding that the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is the first vaccine that is demonstrably reliable, safe, and able to be mass produced.

Mankind may have a track record with another kind of technology, but until someone is able to come up with a vaccine that is reliable, safe, and able to be mass produced, they will remain in the hypothetical territory.

It's better to have a vaccine in the hand than two in the theoretical textbooks.

You make it sound like this is an easy option for everyone, but it's not - your router is likely to be where the phone/fibre socket is, and that's not always going to be where your PC is. If you know what you're doing, you might be able to pull a cable and install a new socket, but that's definitely no lt for everyone.
> This gives the central banks three very dangerous capabilities.

This can be said about any technological innovation since the cave age. It's evil because it could be used for evil. I, for one, don't appreciate this kind of arguments.

For me personally CBDC has two big advantages

- reduced risk (central banks can't go bankrupt)

- commercial banks invest my money on my behalf without me having any control over the process. CBDC is presumably just a store.
Austrian economics is a bad idea, too, which is why no major modern economy pretends that it works.
Banks vs. central banks. Pot, kettle, black.
That's a really tough question. I guess I'm not happy enough with my life to have an answer for this.
It is relevant. If (giving an extreme example to make the point), statistically two humans were killed servicing airbags for every life saved by airbags, cars wouldn’t have airbags (with possible exceptions for cars of the super rich and super important such as the POTUS)

Also, an escape system adds weight to a rocket. That weight could be used for other stuff that makes the rest of the system more reliable (slightly stronger fuel tanks, redundant pumps, whatever). Designing the escape system also takes resources away that could be used to improve the safety of the primary system.

For rockets, it’s not easy to decide what’s the best choice; we launch too few of them, and the ones we launch change too often to gather reliable statistics. Getting real-world data on the reliability of escape systems definitely is hard, as it requires numerous rocket failures or elaborate test setups (a full test must include high speed and an explosion that may throw material through the engine of the escape capsule)
"Why Famine Is Actually A Character Building Exercise" -- somewhere on Mises, probably
Well I did think of that, it technically is not a Class-A because it should have 2 parts. My conclusion was that maybe what happens is that "1", while incorrect, is flexibly parsed as "1.0" and thus it would become "1.0.0.0". But you're right that, given the uint32 representation does exist, the most correct thing to do seems to interpret it as "0.0.0.1"...

unless an exception to the rule exists somewhere, and 'ip' is actually doing it right!
>Every senate election I can recall in California has been Democrat v Democrat by the general election

Which is the point of the system. Republicans only have a shot if they don't compete with each other, and no third party candidate ever has a chance.
The “reports” are targeted at competitors who want to know how and what Apple did. They are quite expensive for a consumer or casual user.

The are more than just a document. A DFR includes in depth analysis, hundreds of supporting images, and usually access to the Circuit Vision for it. CV is a viewer that allows drilling into the chip down to viewing individual transistors along with the chip schematics. Think map tiles but for a chip.

Mandating that every router has to do stateful connection tracking would have been an enormous, wasteful burden. NAT64 is there for those who need it; 464XLAT setups with IPv6-only clients are quietly the reality on networks that don't have too much legacy infrastructure (mostly mobile).
It's a relatively common problem... if you need more IO, you may want to try a stripe of 4-8 block storage connections.

Then again, depends on what you're doing.
First of all, your "10x the price" means a price point between 10$ and 50$. That's hardly a blocker.

Some people, when facing the choice of having a shot at a vaccine sometime in the future and have a reliable vaccine right now, would gladly pay 10x to speed it up.

This wasn't a nuclear weapon, it was a poorly contained RTG and from the sound of it the fuel rods weren't even inside the device yet. A good sized hunk of Pu-238 in the glaciers feeding the Ganges is cause for concern to say the least. The half life of Pu-239 like what would be used for a nuclear bomb is 275x times as much so even just the small amount present for the RTG is releasing many many times more fission products and radiation than a sizeable nuclear weapon.
Bash HTTP Monitoring Dashboard
yea it's *the world largest company (by market capitalisation), whose main product is their flagship mobile and whose main differentiator is the CPU (almost everything else is beaten or available in competing products like Camera, number of apps etc). The moment the CPU performance falls below Android devices, people will look at iPhones differently.. iOS is a differentiator but doesn't have the x factor to make iPhones justify the premium tag.
I do it way too often when I'm alone. Seems like I'm not as crazy as I thought :)
Absolutely.. and what makes me sometimes doubt humanity are statements like GP's, where people just have _some_ position and act like it is the only one that is even worth considering. It's not even necessary to clarify what their position actually is. You just have to know because it's the only valid one.

I don't know why but over the last decade this intensified.. everyone is so damn sure of himself and his views..
The public's opinion is irrelevant, both parties will continue propping up systems that prevent any other competition from having a shot.
> As a European I ask myself why there’s no proportional voting system at all in the US.

As a European, the elections in my country are:

-- Presidential: uninominal majority (of course).

-- Assembly: uninominal majority.

-- Senate: no universal vote, voters emanate (mostly) from municipal councils majorities.

-- Regional: allegedly proportional lists, but in fact a majority vote, since the leading list gets a majority bonus of 25% of the seats, and then only proportional applies (and still, it is a two-round vote in which lists under 12.5% are evicted from the first round, and then can be evicted again at the second round, even from proportional). So in practice the leading list is always granted more than 50% of the seats.

-- Departmental: uninominal majority

-- Municipal: in large towns, allegedly proportional lists, but in fact a majority vote, since the leading list gets a majority bonus of 50%!!! so there is not even a slight theoretical possibility of having a balance; in villages: plurinominal majority (so a list where every member gets 50%+1 votes gets 100% of seats).

So, not a single actual proportional election, even in those which purport to be such.

(That's France, if you wonder.)

As a practical note, I would like to add that concerning the Assembly, the uninominal voting system used to produce a sort of balanced result, because of differences in history, culture, sociology, traditions and so on in different voting districts; but at present the populations are mixed, the medias are national, everything is more standardised, and so votes are more uniform, and as a consequence a party who has a small lead now has it almost everywhere and can get an overwhelming majority of seats despite only having that small lead.
