Maybe so, but at the end of the day it's still a Gameboy with updated internals. Even if Apple made this thing, it's a hard sell at $199.
The bug was a numerical error that would cause cats to drink something like the equivalent of a pint of beer for every lick, and therefore die prematurely. He talks about it in this video:

Interestingly, the term "code" applied to laws centuries before it was applied to computer code. I'd bet most computer code best practices would apply to law code.
hmm, yes, I guess at some level user data is stored in a database somewhere.

What is trying to be communicated here is you don't need to connect to a database at all. You can use an API, something in memory, etc. The library doesn't have to connect to a DB.

For example, I use Hasura a lot (a GraphQL wrapper around postgres), and this library works perfect with that, since blueauth can just do API calls.

But yes, even in that scenario it is Hasura that is communicating with a database but not blueauth.

Basically blueauth can interface with anything you can write in javascript (any type of DB, interface, etc)
Huge companies like Blizzard benefit from a tremendous inertia, so it can be difficult to see them declining, but I think they started doing so more than a decade ago...

At some point Blizzard was my dream video game studio, but the people did the hard work and built it are long gone.
If everyone involved in the conversation wants to be involved, and no laws are broken, and the platform interferes, then it's censorship.

As soon as you have to broadcast deltas on object properties to visible sectors, you immediately hit precisely measurable metrics on what is possible on various types of connections.

If you broadcasted 8 bytes of deltas to 2 million “players” concurrently 120 times per second, you’re going to have problems.

Experience shows there’s just no reason to talk to people about these specifics because even though they’ve never implemented it before or even done the math, you definitely know better than I do.

@rehm: I mean, you can call me an armchair specialist because you’re angry, but I’ve shipped this stuff and it’s still used today. I employ people who can do that sort of basic math. Your truisms aren’t helpful in engineering discussions, it’s just noise. Yes of course products’ requirements vary: that’s not the discussion.

@Zababa: It’s not a “fantasy,” unless you’re not doing anything besides recording vec3 and transmitting it on a regular rate, most games have these concerns today. It is a specific function of major game engines to deal with this type of processing and more bespoke than not to not deal with it at all.

Show me a real-time game that runs at even 20 tick that doesn’t deal with these constraints.

I’d love to know what fantasy world you live in where these things are not engineering problems that people haven’t worked on for decades.

I wish people who didn’t have any experience whatsoever with these systems would stop trying to hold discussions with people who do on HN because it just makes the experience pander to the lowest common denominator.
>but to claim that Nikola's semi is in any way similar to Tesla is a bit of a stretch.

Okay, how much of a stretch? If they would have stuck a nowhere-near-production ready battery and drivetrain system into the Nikola trucks and pretended it was complete, that would have been fine? That probably wouldn't have been difficult, but equally fraudulent.
Same here. I'm motivated by being on a team that I don't want to let down, and getting a pat on the back when I deliver something great.

I think it's because the early stages of a new project, where you're doing a ton of googling and head-scratching, are kind of painful for me. I need that team or client or business owner counting on me in order to push through that part.

Then I can roll on my own when I get to the fun stuff (for me) - creating features with well-understood tools, and refining and organizing code.
TV updates coincided with the changeover to HD tv so I don't think people really cared - it ruined my portable since it had a builtin antenna, but that was that.

However there has been many more fights about turning of the FM signals, at least here in Denmark, mostly because people can't upgrade the radio in their cars easily but probably also because the new type of radio is a lot worse than FM. So now we have both.

I suspect that when/if they turn it of people won't get a new radio and will just play music from their phones.
As a former Overwatch player, you're right. But my (so far glad to say mostly unfounded) fear is that Jeff "Tigole Bitties" Kaplan was part of the problem we're seeing play out the past few weeks.

I'd prefer it if facebook didn't do this either.
> acknowledging small communities curate the best content

Agreed. The problem is that Facebook and Google more or less successfully disintermediated those small communities of old, namely newspapers, magazines, websites based on region or interest which had a vested interest in their constituency. In doing so, the tech giants swallowed up the advertisement dollars going to those old media, and made a few people insanely rich while destroying the entire ecosystem.
> Now throw some modern encrypted traffic back at them, would they even understand there's signal in there?

Definitely yeah
My explanation will not be popular here on HN, but I'm never one to shy away. Especially when asked directly.

Buying a book, buying an audio CD, or buying a DVD/Blu-ray is granting the holder permission to read,listen,view that product as a single instance. You can lend them out, but that's all you're really allowed to do with them. The text,audio/video is not owned by you to do with as you please. People obviously do not like that, and argue making copies/backups is their right. Maybe that's acceptable, but we can agree posting them on torrents and sharing in any other manner from a copy made from the thing you have is not.

Saying that, training a model on someone's copyrighted text is not part of the agreement of the usage of said text whether it's a copyrighted magazine, newspaper, or book. If the people doing the training reach out to the copyright holders and get specific permission to use their copyrighted material in such a manner, then go ahead. The fact that people feel like they can do anything without the common courtesy of asking for permission is troubling to me that we've lost something as a society. There's no acknowledgment that someone has created something by their own work so that the creator can do with it as they please. A large portion of people believe that because it was created they deserve/should be able to/etc do what ever they want with someone else's creation. Including getting paid for derivitave works from the original creation.
There really isn’t any such thing as fact checking, only narrative pushing.
Laws don't have to be violate din civil litigation. Most cases are about torts (or contractual violations. big corporations generally get people to agree to big contracts that effectively say 'we can do anything and you have no rights ha ha' but as soon as any exchange of money takes place, things gt to e more complex. In extreme circumstances, contracts can be declared to be unconscionable.

Of course, wealthy defendants often try to spin the process out as long as possible and then offer a fat settlement right before trial if all else fails.
Additionally since this game as well as many others from the era can be configured to output MIDI data you can buy new midi hardware and continue to hear how we've developed this kind of sampling! https://twitter.com/GyoJc/status/1304638489313644546

> This always seems to be such a controversial view here, but if you think a meeting is pointless and that you have nothing to gain from it or contribute to it, just don't go. We're all grown-ups at work, and are ultimately responsible for our own productivity.

I tried doing this. Was told I need to attend more meetings. So I asked how many? They said, "it depends". "It depends on what?" "On how often we want to meet."

So whatever the hell that means. I think I need to meet every week for some reason. Just to prove 'something'
I don't know why you're being downvoted for this, since that is exactly how the homeless shelters in LA's Skid Row operate: beds are night-to-night, and generally individuals must leave the shelters during the day (though some shelters make exceptions for families with children).

It is just that nowadays the definition of a "Container" depends on the scope, and presumably "Docker" is an instance of a container. But I'd expect an interviewee to reply with "what type of OS-level virtualization tool are you referring to?", in which case you would get both a proper answer and a request for clarification :)
Congratulations, this is such a tremendous achievement. Well done. And thank you for everything that you've done to make language hacking accessible (and Wren is superb, by the way).
In general, we send each player all the planes that their in-game map could possibly show (which is usually something like 140 statute miles by 140 statute miles).

We could one day be smarter about this and only send you everything if your map is actually open, and otherwise limit it based on your field of view. That hasn't been a priority yet, though.
For 2, how often do you see Future Perfect Continuous or just Future Perfect anywhere outside of literary works?

I'd put grammar at much lower priority than vocabulary & common phrases, since knowing just a bunch of words (at least in most languages) can get you very far.
> it is water resistant

Is it? I wouldn't want to test that claim on any books I own or have borrowed.
I love the idea of Dwarf Fortress and I think the internet purest mission is to disseminate works of passion such as this, not to sell me ads instead. That said, I can't get past the ASCII interface -- I'm a huge fan of IF games (which used to be called "text adventures" in the olden days) and I can deal with spartan UIs, but for real-time strategy/sandbox games, I absolutely need some sort of graphics. Tiles, at least. The same happens to me with Nethack, which fortunately does have graphical tilesets. I'm glad to read Toady One is working on such a UI!

Something I found insightful about TFA was this:

> Q: With your ~90 side projects, have you explored any other programming languages? If so, any favorites?

> A: Ha ha, nope! I’m more of a noodler over on the design side, rather than with the tech. I’m sure some things would really speed up the realization of my designs though, so I should probably at least learn some scripting and play around with threading more. People have even been kind enough to supply some libraries and things to help out there, but it’s just difficult to block side project time out for tech learning when my side project time is for relaxing.

This is interesting. I constantly feel the temptation to learn new tools, new languages, new stuff. I get sidetracked by the tech. But the key to successful games seems to be designing them and sticking to the work of making them work no matter the tech or language. If Toady had kept playing with programming languages and frameworks instead of sticking to his actual project -- creating a game -- maybe Dwarf Fortress wouldn't exist, or it wouldn't be as featureful.

> I mean using SCM became the norm in maybe last 10-15 years

more like 30, at least in a lot of the industry. Even just looking at open-ish systems, people were excited about SVN in what, 2000?, because they had been working with CVS for years, if not a decade or more, at that point.
Depends on how old of a unit you have. I have a 3rd Gen, and was offered $70 off a new Kindle (paperwhite or oasis) and $25 in Kindle credits. (I'm not sure the last time that I used whispernet, but I did see use when visiting relatives. Not sure I am going to pay for that privileged again.)

Some that had a 1st gen have been offered a free Oasis and cover.

Just to add a datapoint, I've been making chip music for nearly 15 years and being able to accurately hear pulsewidth, waveform (assuming a simple, fundamental chiptune waveform like square, saw, triangle) is actually relatively common with a bit of experience.

When I got started I was awed by it in others I talked to on IRC, but it wasn't too long before I was familiar with it, too. It's also pretty easy for me—and I'd bet for nyanpasu64 as well—to identify the actual PSG or platform used and even to get a good idea of what sort of sequencing/programming is involved to get any particular sound I hear.

For me it's pretty specialized, though. I absolutely can't do that with traditional music production. I wouldn't be able to tell you too much about music I heard produced with modern tools.
Why on earth would Youtube let them keep the money, vs putting it in escrow until a complaint has a chance to be responded to and the dispute is resolved?

I don’t know if there is a good way to mitigate that more than Panic tried. They said they warned the provider in advance, the provider wasn’t ready. That’s a complication on the part of the Shopify platform and moving to a self-hosted/managed platform (like WooCommerce) might have solved the third-party shipping thing but would have then put the broader load balancing stuff at much higher risk.

The only way I think you could address it in retrospect would be to have separate launches for US and international — or at least separate allocations (using registration data from interested users and traffic before lead up to help make estimates on demand) of units, say 15,000 US units and 5,000 international or whatever, depending on how you want to mix it. That isn’t a perfect solution either and you can either over or under allocate, but it would probably appear to be more “fair” to international buyers.

But lbr, anyone buying stuff like this internationally is unfortunately always on the losing end. The same is true for US buyers who are after stuff primarily shipped in Europe or Asia or Oceania. It is unfortunate, but until you have the scale to truly have separate international storefronts and sales teams, people outside of the main market are always going to be lower on the list.

>You don't learn to read texts and interpret them in the language.

Are you sure? I regularly come across questions that involve a few sentences, a question, and a multi-choice answer. All in language, and some of them are somewhat tricky. Something along the lines of: "Juan's is with his girlfriend. Her name is Antonia. She is buying a green dress. Where is Antonia?" "A: A restaurant. B: A clothes store C: A party."

There are also questions that are a few sentences and you have to fill in the blank, which often require understanding the context, in language: If Juan is speaking to waiter, then the place he is at is a restaurant...

>Not to mention that default on the app has you click words in the proper order instead of actually recalling them.

Not at all true. I've been using DuoLingo for less than a month and I regularly see questions that are an English sentence and a free form text box for you to type the translation into. And one of the questions for the second "Checkpoint" is: Here is a sentence in language, and a free form text box to type the response.

As far as the clicking words, I'll say I really like that as one of the components of learning, because it lets me focus on the structure of sentences without getting frustrated by typos or misremembering words or even in some cases forgetting words. The prompts of the bubbles are good and still make me remember the differences between the conjugations and the like.

I spent a semester in a class in Jr HS, and was much more frustrated and less educated than I feel after 3 weeks of solid DuoLingo. For me, it's a fun tool for establishing some confidence and understanding.
>Just to be clear... I too am not aware of any evidence that this was the case. HOWEVER, there is a clear link of stakeholders between Citadel and Melvin Capital. Citadel provides the settlement for RH and it's entirely plausible that Ken Griffin reminded Robinhood who's paying their bills.

In other words, "there's no evidence that they did it, but they stood to benefit so they probably did it"?
And yet, the original source is what is required to refute any misinterpretation.

> Most game development is not funded by a rich person just handing a development studio a chunk of money and saying "build this".

I didn’t think they were; I thought we were just talking about people who own (controlling shares in), or lead, companies, and their influence over the processes of the development of the games (both in terms of the working environment, and the content of the game).

Perhaps I read over a previous part of the thread too quickly?

I’m confused as to what the disagreement is about? It is in some way about “capitalists” and game development funding,
but like, everyone understands that games aren’t funded by a single person paying a group of people to develop a particular game.
What is the actual disagreement here?

____

Regarding the worship of the wealthy , that would, of course, be idolatry, and bad. I’m confident that I’m not doing that.

____
Regarding “exploited workers” : perhaps due to me being perhaps strongly biased, I don’t really, feel compelled by this phrase. It means very little to me.
When people say “exploited workers”, as far as I can tell, all it means is “profited by employing people” + the speaker disapproves of that. The emotive language doesn’t compel me to agree with their disapproval.
Josh, why would you post such a fundamentally dishonest blogpost?
SSN is not a Personal Code. It’s just a number. Add or subtract one, and you get the a valid number for the people in your home town who were born nearest to your birthdate. There are no checks and it’s very difficult to change. Some people in the USA would like a better system, but we can’t have it because national IDs and vaccines are tyranny.
Documentary: Planet of the Humans
Agreed! They have no moral, legal or ethical responsibility or obligation to host anyone's content.

They also don't have any legal, ethical or moral responsibility to ensure that any one copyright holder gets "their fair share" of the revenue for a particular video. The law already has a provision for the recourse copyright holders have if people use copyrighted material improperly. That's called a DMCA takedown request and it requires certain conditions to be met.

What YouTube has done with the contentid and three-strikes system is to create an extra-judicial system for settling claims of a similar kind to DMCA takedown requests, but without going through the courts. That's their prerogative! But it may or may not be legal for them to do so, especially using the language that they use.

For example something they might get sued for is fraud. These copyright claims that copyright holders are able to make. Are these legal claims via the courts? Or are they YouTube claims made through YouTube? What if YouTube has appropriated too many legal terms for this system?

Imagine that I created a Security as a Service (SaaS) called The Police (tm) and for a small monthly fee you can subscribe to The Police (tm) and if/when you find yourself in some kind of tight spot they'll show up and fix things for you.

It's not hard to imagine that this might not go well, and for similar reasons one could suspect that YouTube using legal-like terms for an entirely private "copyright policing" system they might eventually find themselves on the losing side of a legal challenge. It's really up to what kind of legal theories the plaintiffs could come up with that would put YouTube on the wrong end of the law.

If 'Deestan's comment about this being a typical scheme to temporarily steal ad revenue is accurate, then Youtube is probably still legally in the clear to let someone else benefit like that - I'm sure their TOS covers all sorts of shit - but definitely should (from a "what's best for the world" perspective) try to do something about that to prevent abuse of the system.
