What? "After years and years"... It's version 0.3. Not even stable 1.0. The conversation you had with the maintainer puts you in a worse light than him, in my opinion.
Here is a thought experiment: what if ALL companies took the same controversial side of a value? Say every company sided with abortion bans or every company sided with free abortions (doesn’t matter which side). Do these people quit then? I don’t think so.

Anecdotally, some of the biggest SJWs I know cash their employment checks from companies that have a terrible reputation when it comes to values these people keep talking about so loudly, mostly because the checks are fat as f.
I was talking about "Secret" and "LeChuck's Revenge". When "Curse" came out I was "too cool" for computer games. Now I'm back at being "lame" :)
Disagree.

This feels like the strength of the smarter players in the industry protecting the industry and strengthening it, in the face of impropriety and gang tactics on the other side of the fence (TradFi).

We've just never seen it before.
The tricky part is finding one that shares your values if you have a minority view point, especially depending on the specific location.
I get this is targeted at the US, still I'm throwing this out there:

my wife and I (with combined degrees in literature, molecular biology and computer science) would have seriously considered homeschooling. But we live in Germany, and it is absolutely illegal here.
Because you live in a privileged bubble.

You have no idea how serious the problems Bitcoin is trying to solve are.

One day you will be forced to understand it though. Hopefully it doesn't result in you losing all your savings, like it has happened to billions of people through history....
Wishful thinking, but common at the time. Gorbachev had the same aspirations when it came to communism spreading from Russia to other countries. Of course the West had other plans. In retrospect I think the failure wrt China is that the integration didn't go far enough, most likely because China started to threaten the economic hegemony of the U.S.
There is also no freedom of press or politics. No freedom to criticise Putin.

> It would be extraordinarily expensive to expect YouTube to have humans moderate everything manually.

You could flip this around, however? Why is YouTube promoting videos that no responsible human has reviewed?

These videos don't just trip and fall into people's feeds. They're selected by YouTube's recommendation algorithm, presumably targeting maximum engagement. That decision is automated, but it's still an editorial decision -- it's not based on an objective, chosen criterion like "most recent" or even "most viewed."

This isn't how YouTube is currently structured (nor the other social media platforms), but I think it's fair to suggest that if a platform is in the business of picking and choosing winners, it should bear at least a moral responsibility for the content it promotes.

Author here. NATS is such an amazing (and underrated) technology IMHO I wanted to talk more about it with some screencasts. Would love your feedback and any suggestions for future screencasts on NATS.
Because unmoderated internet comment sections on non-gaming topics are such wholesome and positive places?
I think there's a communication issue on your end here.

If someone raises an issue re: integer overflows, and you don't change the behavior, it's not 'fixed'. It may be 'addressed' or 'resolved' by responding with with something like "it's working as designed" or "if it's good enough for C, it's good enough for me!", but it's _not_ fixed. I don't think you should claim:

> All of the issues there were fixed several days ago

I really do like V FWIW.
I don't know you, but I think you should PR-manage the situation without being confrontational. Writing a blog post about it just invites the trolls to write an answer!

Do you know how many "X is better than Rust", "X language is trash" articles are out there?

Just be passive-aggressive like "Hey! thank you for the bug report and for taking the time to make V a better language! We'll check these errors!". Dismiss them and go your road.
Small MCU programming usually doesn't use dynamic memory allocation at all. Does Rust bring borrowing into play in any other situations?

I don't know anything about Zig and should probably look into it, but I think Ada is underrated for MCU's.
I don't think that's exactly true.
Nintendo did give people what they wanted with Twilight Princess.
Both of those games had around 9.5 - 9.6 ratings, and the realistic Twilight Princess was the best selling Zelda until Breath of the Wild came out.

I think a very loud minority likes Wind Waker, but sales show something a bit different.
Nobody can make any relevant conclusion here the same way nobody can really predict if we are in recession or we are heading to one.
This is again one of those where HN does not know anything about anything where $500k and $50k engineers talk about their bubbles.

You can imagine a bunch of nasty teenagers posting stuff like that, but fun fact: Most MI fans are likely to be over 30. (Many over 40)
A lot of families thinks this would mean sitting at the kitchen table at their kids from 9-3 but actually homeschool does not need to look like school in order to be effective academically. with mastery learning and 1-1 instruction, kids learn way faster than in a classroom setting , so often parents spend max 1-2 hours guiding their kids through math and ELA with many of the great secular homeschool curriculums available and then cobble together a bunch of afterschool activities /skill shares , social activities and pareht swaps. Sometimes more affluent parents hire tutors but it’s not necessary. And there are some great digital tools kids csn use to largely teach themselves like khan academy - not to mention good old-fashioned books !

Britain was naive in thinking that it’s own secret to achieving democracy was its economic system.
I believe it was Alan Dean Foster who first postulated (as a premise of one of his sci-fi novels) that warfare in space was physically impossible. Physics just doesn't allow for it. (All those scenes of space battles in every TV show and movie are no more realistic than Harry Potter.)

Heinlein pointed out in "Moon is a Harsh Mistress" that whoever controls massdrivers on Luna effectively rules the Earth (Dr. Evil-style, but still.)

Not too long ago it was widely understood that allowing the very idea of "war" to escape the gravity well of our planet was to be assiduously avoided. (People orbited military satellites, of course, but it was done with decorum.)
In my experience, both direct and indirect, homeschooling has the effect of concentrating a parent’s influence on their children’s lives / brain development / psychology, etc.

Take that, and think about it, before you start. If you have unexamined issues like anger problems, fixations, avoidances, fears - those will have an impact on your child, and a bigger impact if you homeschool your child - purely on the basis of much more time spent together.

If you’re going to do it, i would strongly encourage you to start therapy asap. Because the more of those things you crack open and deal with, the less your child will have to deal with the consequences of them.

The school system has a ton of problems. So does home schooling. There is no magic bullet. Just choices.
Therefore, changing the license is not going to improve matters at all. It's already forbidden, yet we are where we are.
I think this is a very low effort dismissal. If you're american, do you feel like your everyday experience is a police state? we imprison FAR more people, so i think the whataboutism criticism has some merit but it has to be acknowledged what the baseline is right? Just talking about a single country and single metric without being allowed to refer to comparisons is just a shallow or useless conversation right? how would you prefer the people you're accusing of whataboutism discuss the issue? do you have a better idea?
I loved the art direction, but can't stand the micromanagement. Every time I look at it, I want to play it again, but I just don't like the city districts thing. It's too hard to keep my happiness up.

It's understandable a Stanford Comp. Sci. grad might not want to work in a garage where they talk about how great Trump is (in pedantic terms) and tell 'p*ssy' jokes, have porn on the wall ...

... but I think most of corporate America would be regarded as roughly 'neutral' - in that basic professionalism should accommodate 85% of our 'values'.

And then maybe a bit of a 'tilt' towards your own kind of culture.

I'd be skeptical of anyone wanting/expecting anything beyond that.

Said differently … “44% of people don’t give two sh*ts about their employers views”.
It was a hyperbole. But not too far off from reality though.
What stops me is that the socialization and peer-group relationship skills that are obtained rapidly in a public school context are not replicatable at home. Neither are the skills learned in dealing with non-family adults, independence of task skills away from home, and much else besides in that vein.

I would rather -- and do -- support the public school system in my (medium sized) city.

I would agree that eliminating content removal would make sense if they also eliminated their recommendation system.

From a legal perspective, making them legally liable for any content they promote (but not content they merely distribute) might fix the problem.
I can easily agree that X11 had a problem with way too many things in the core spec, and I'm 100% on board with breaking things out. The problem is that they shipped the thing with none of the additional extensions actually defined, which meant that when people went to implement everything outside of the (correctly) tiny core they implemented things differently and incompatibly. It's like a return to the days when the web had multiple major browser engines, and every time you wanted to do something you had to look up what browsers implemented it and what charming little quirks each implementation had.

I think there's a reasonable way to be "both sides" on the advertising thing. If you look at the normal website that "runs ads" they're almost all universally low-value, low-quality crap ads for crap companies.

I'm talking about the ads you find on places like https://hearthstone.fandom.com/wiki/Hearthstone_Wiki for example; they're basically noise and useless.

The ads in YouTube videos I don't even really mind as much, at least someone took some time to make professional ones.
I'm sorry, but getting upset about a sequel you didn't want is an immature and entitled attitude. This is a sequel from the original creator, not some corporate cash-in, what else do you want? Ron Gilbert is not a mind reader, he can't deliver on 1000 contradictory fan expectations. This is the game they wanted to make, that's their right, if you don't like it just move along.

Trains/subways are great within a city but don’t work well for larger areas.
Its usually just one of the steps to doing it professionally. Most states AFAIK also have a licensing regiment required to work on anything not covered by the small appliance 608 type 1 which covers more theory of operation code compliant installation/etc.

So the EPA cert by itself isn't usually enough to work professionally (unless your repairing home refrigerators).

I just finished my Bachelor of Computer Science major in May and I'm eager to find that right first job. I'm hoping to catch the attention of a company who sees the value in someone who knows the importance of hard work, effort and the will to succeed, with the willingness to offer the training to go from graduate to star employee.

The ideal job would be one that offers plenty of room to grow and a chance to build on my skills.

I have basic skills in SQL, C, Application/Network Security in addition to intermediate Python and Java. But as someone who picks up new skills and knowledge at a astounding pace, just give me a chance and I'll not disappoint.

I am a software engineer with 15+ years of experience. I work on hardware projects.

Resume/CV : https://www.dropbox.com/s/l6w2wd55ql5acnn/CVPYB.pdf

Location : UK, EU, possibly Asia. Relocation possible.

My experience is in embedded systems, wearables, scientific equipement, manufacturing, set-top-boxes / video, consumer electronics...

I am looking to work with fast-moving hardware startups or scaleups.

Technologies : "Full Stack". Which means : systems and low-level development, firmware and digital electronics ; backend development ; and web development on occasion.
Collaborative work style preferred : onsite, pairing, ...
I'm truly ambivalent about this. On the one hand, I was brought up to believe that a workplace is only for work and that politics has no place, and part of me still believes that. On the other hand, I recognize how the "apolitical" workplace serves to perpetuate existing sociopolitical structures that are grossly inequitable and sometimes even harmful to society or the planet. It's not really apolitical at all. In that context, the larger part of me thinks it's great when people vote with their feet and their wallets and their working hands, economically avoiding companies that do more harm than good (however that is calculated). Shun them, starve them, force them to dissolve and re-form into something better. That's a far better kind of disruption than the kind usually talked about here, and perfectly allowable in any market that is truly free.
I started in a similar path, working as IT support and pivoting that role to in house software development.

Wishing you the best, and wanted to suggest converting your resume to PDF for sharing. I can't open it on my phone.
the crux of my worry is this: the ending of MI2 compared to the ending of a non-gilbert MI3, and I love MI3.
They were quite pretty but Ron Gilbert wasn't involved in MI3 and 4. That's why this is a bit like a branch off MI2
Most hours gamed are by kids, of course they're gonna be nasty, have you ever seen an unsupervised kid without threat of physical violence for being shitty to other kids?

The fact that people care about an insult or attack in a comment section of a random site they read about a game is what surprises me. What lives some people must live for this to be something that even registers as an annoyance.
That’s definitely a problem. And even in the US families can face problems. I know great homeschool families in nys who had social services called on them by a neighbor. And many of the African American teens in our community have been stopped on the streets for “truancy” when they’d legally registered to homeschool.
As Rust proved it fast, safe and simple don't go together (fast and safe requires borrow checking on the data types, which is complex).
Eric, I sent you an email 15 minutes ago
>> can cause fires and give electrical shocks.

which is why you unplug it before working on it and make a BIG point to the kid of both hazards, and how essential it is to remove power before working on something, AND to do test runs in a safer area like outside, etc.

>>the last thing i want my kid to think in that situation is that it is okay for them to put their hands in the toaster

I'd say that you don't want them putting their hands in WHILE IT IS POWERED or HOT. Important distinction, and best started early and often. They'll see it sometime, better to have them have a context so they can tell the difference between doing the same thing when it is smart (powered down and repairing), vs Darwin Award candidate level stupid (when powered); then they can evaluate other's actions and draw the right conclusions.
Nah, it was already like that when "global warming" (as it was previously known in pop culture) was still being argued among scientists.

Some people just hate change and being told how they should live.
Maybe no country should do these things.
Our kids are 11 and 6 and we've always homeschooled them. As a secular homeschooling family, our headaches aren't related to curriculums or anything academic-related (there are lots of good options and resources out there) but rather the lack of socialization options outside of the home. If your experience is like ours, you'll quickly discover is that most homeschooling families are very religious or pulled their children out of school due to some kind of behavioral issue.
Well, they're gamers. Not that anything's wrong with playing video games, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're on average less mature than the general population.

I think I'll play through the first two parts with my children and if they're interesed I'll get this one as well.
Open sourcing a software you have no intention to maintain is definitely better than keeping it closed source and preventing its distribution. If copyright laws weren't so screwed up a law / regulation could have been made mandating that all software / code that is no longer being maintained should be automatically open sourced (or become automatically open source after 20-25 years).
I am working on a baby book called Computer Engineering for Babies (https://computerengineeringforbabies.com). The biggest question I have is an SEO/branding one. I have about 3 brand names, and I don't know how to structure them or which ones to get rid of, and how to have a cohesive brand. Anyway, I'm looking for someone that can coach me on some SEO/branding stuff..

> how Chinese people aren't smart enough to invent their own stuff

You hear the same here about the EU and tech companies. You take it personally when it's about your own people.
Few companies have 'political power' over staff.

Most, even the big one's have surprisingly little influence over governance, even when big cheques are written. And almost exclusively, that money goes into getting 'good legislation for them to make money' - not some kind of moral/social issue.

Yes, a few companies are known to direct funds for 'socially contestable things' but it's not entirely common.
There's intent too. All of the Almond Milk I buy has the word "Almond" on the package with pictures of almonds. The packages of meat substitutes tend not to be so explicit.
