Maybe they aren´t working on some of the visual components, but you can also say they are owning up to that style, as in part of their current gen GTA series.

Like you had a very distinctive visual style on GTA 3, VC and San Andreas - which in part was probably due to hardware limitations, but R* owned it.

So it wouldn´t shock me if it would be something in these lines, to be distinctive yet familiar. Most likely the bigger improvements will be on online gameplay.
Do you work at Google? They never repair things. Hence 5 (10?) unfinished chat programs.
I'm not going to argue that the NSA report is amazing or terribly well-written, but re-reading it with the principle of charity nullifys many of these rebuttals.

For one example, from the rebuttal:

> If there is concern that their user credentials will beget malefaction and mistakes, then why discourage service accounts2, which are inherently decoupled from specific user identities?

But then looking at the text from the document itself:

> Minimize and regularly audit service accounts,

> The use of service accounts, like non-human privileged accounts used to run automated processes, should be minimized and carefully audited. Every service account login should be logged. These logs should include date and time and the origin of login. Service accounts should follow the “least privileged” policy. All service accounts should be regularly reviewed to assure they are still needed, and unnecessary accounts removed.

I don't think the document is saying to avoid service accounts in favor of something silly like shared passwords. It's saying to use the fewest you can get away with, delete unused ones, and regularly audit access to them.
What "rest of us" is showing off their internal tooling in public? (sure, there are companies that do, but this is not some universal thing that's unusual not to do)
So despite containing cursive in the title, the first study appears to be comparing handwriting as a whole vs typing, not print vs cursive handwriting.

The second study compares handwriting vs tracing vs typing, again no cursive vs print.

The third study compares drawing vs typing, it doesn't address handwriting.

Also all of them are using proxy measures like brain activity and not recall of the studied material.

I could actually accept the more laborious and slower process of handwriting may slow kids down and therefore spend more time thinking about a subject as a hypothesis, but that's not what was tested here. Such a hypothesis would however favour print handwriting more than the theoretically faster cursive.
> Writing in continuation-passing style also helps the lambda calculus interpreter to prevent re-evaluating the same term multiple times. This is very, very important and critical when writing programs for the 521-byte binary lambda calculus interpreters Blc, tromp and uni, since it seems that they lack a memoization feature, although they readily have a garbage collection feature.

Note that Melvin Zhang added a memoization feature (call-by-need evaluation with result sharing) in his refactoring [1] of my BLC interepreter.

I will check, if they provide ways to support CAD . Thank you.
I think that the optimal spinner would be basically impossible to defeat. You win by building up a ton of kinetic energy and dumping it into your opponent.

Consider what ziggo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuyG3FmixRI) could do as a lightweight. Now make it 100kg with tungsten teeth instead of steel and two counter-rotating hemispheres to cancel out the torque and let it turn on a dime. Put gear teeth on the inside of the shell and run multiple drive motors so that you can rev it up to full speed within the first few seconds of the match and then switch off drive motors as necessary to save power. With a heavyweight bot you have a big weight budget for powerful batteries and motors so I think you could fit several kilowatts of power for both the drive system and the wheels, which are important for a spinner since you need quick acceleration to outmaneuver your opponent and attack its weakest point. To protect from getting flipped, you could design the tooth lowest to the ground to be on a horizontal hinge with a linear actuator running through a hole in the shell, so that during the match you can lower it to the necessary angle to hit anything trying to slip underneath.

Napkin math: A 25kg shell, 1 meter diameter, spinning at 1000 rpm has about 17 kJ of rotational kinetic energy, (roughly equivalent to a .50 BMG bullet) so several kilowatts of power for a few seconds should be enough to rev up fully if friction is kept sufficiently low.
Bon appetit
For sure. That said, you’d think that soldiers surrendering would be used in propaganda, as was the case early on when the Ukrainian showed PoWs calling their families. In contrast we have a lot of documentation about mass graves, torture, and captured equipment and weapons. So I don’t think soldiers surrendering is very significant.

Also, it’s easy for Russian soldiers to just take civilian clothes and disappear on either side of the front line. Much easier than for a German in France or Italy in 1944.
As long as you don't plan for a full rewrite all at once the technical part is not the hardest aspect, it's even the best part!

> fix this development team without managing them directly

This is the worrying part. If you're not their manager, or at least the technical lead dev it's a lost cause. Because you need to laid a plan and have complete buying from management.

There's almost no realistic salary that can make it for working on (I presume) PHP 5 and this codebase forever and the effect on your career future prospects.
To give some context here, I currently work on SDLC and dev security. Supply chain attacks are high on the agenda right now.

I don't have a problem with this set of recommended practices. And that's all they are. These are things to consider and only constitute guidance, which may be out of date. It says all this in the intro.
To be fair, the game still seems to be in early stages and the latest gossip suggests a 2025 release date.
If you're above market in France it implies your skills are in demand. I'd say that makes the $100k ask on a low side. I've worked a bunch of US remote jobs from Poland and the lowest I got was $115k (and that was years ago, pre-inflation).
Looks like they are using IMGUI as dev tool: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui
I'm really hoping Mac gaming will get better in the next few years. The graphic horsepower is already available, now the limits are for games to be released for Mac and ideally compiled for ARM and implement the Metal graphics API. Unfortunately for now Fortnite is not releasing any new version due to their feud with Apple and CS:GO is still running through Rosetta 2. DotA 2/LoL is already running great AFAIK.
Houdini is also a leading example, but for the 3D/VFX/movie industry, where nodes/networks are basically visual scripting to do basically everything in the product.

Glaciers have been melting in the north since the last ice age though. It may go faster now than it did 100 years ago, but with or without more CO2, glaciers were going to disappear many places.
I’ve worked a few mechatronics type gigs and Labview was standard there. One of the few places I have seen or used visual coding.
The question then shifts to why this hacker is posting some early footage. You would expect the newer stuff to be immediately accessible without searching etc. This is allegedly the same guy who hacked Uber and called them out for underpaying drivers, so maybe he's trying to raise awareness about poor security or something.
Exactly. It's your companies money at stake and by keeping the boss happy I get to take a part of that money home with me. It is a financial transaction in the end.

Plus I get to see the downsides of another crappy approach and in the end I learn even more than doing things tHe RiGhT wAy.
I saw a pastebin to a single .cpp file, yes. Thread ended with the guy says he's going to sleep (~ 4 hour ago).
Using all 10 fingers is a pain.
Discord has replaced many forums, sadly. They're even rolling out a special forum feature right now that (obviously) can't be indexed by Google.

Public post-based discussion is moving to quick chats in private servers. It started out with Slack spaces but has moved to Discord because of Slack's inferior UX/UI/business model.

This makes taking part in a community a lot easier as you can actually talk to the people working on the stuff you're excited about, like you could with good ol' IRC except you don't need to log in at the exact right time to send them a message. Some open source projects opt to use Matrix rather than Discord or Slack, which is an open standard but the problems still remain.

Especially, finding a solution to an obscure error message can be a real challenge if you don't want to join some random chat room full of existing conversations to ask the question yourself, even if ten or twenty people before you already did the same. I much prefer the forums for this type of stuff but most of the world seems to disagree.
I've exploded plenty of space Marines into red mist at point blank range in Doom, but this direction in realism doesn't feel great. Thinking about the next step in realism and AI NPCs and VR. Hard to see a people spending lots of time consuming this as a net positive.
Nice list ... but that doesn't mean you understand what you have listed. Your list reads like what a noob "Modern C++" programmer would focus on (keywords and features to get through an interview) rather than any long-term (i have been programming in C++ since early nineties) real work experience.

Lots of good C++ based systems have been written before any of the above existed. That proves that they are not "needs" but merely "wants". Only some in the above list are worth adding to the language while others are just noise (as an example keywords like "override"/"default"/"nodiscard" just add to syntactic noise rather than any actual benefit). The members of the ISO C++ committee simply pushed through their pet "wants" for brownie points.
I am not under 40 but I like reading captions because it's less effort than putting on headphones or buds, and keeps me aware of surroundings.
Yeah exactly, the queue handles this for free. Docker with the Nvidia extension actually works better for me than native, Torch doesn't work on my system but works in Docker.
I have struggled to find a stretching workout with the ability to work out if you are a man. Fortunately, I found it on the other side of the city. Despite the fact that 90% of the visitors are young girls, I believe that this is an absolutely healthy sport for any gender and age.
Whenever I see these kinds of articles posted on Hacker News I'm always reminded of Paul Graham's excellent article The Submarine (http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html)
> It is not having too little space, it is feeling anxiety throwing stuff away.

But if you have enough space, you never need to throw things away. So why not say that it’s space problem rather than a problem with gathering things?

> This is an accurate picture of a hoarder's horde

You’re showing me pictures of very small homes where things are stacked on top of one another, as if the hoarded objects are the shelves of other hoarded objects. I just see poor inventory management, no wonder it gets dirty, too.

> the people who live like they did have more than enough space.

Either they don’t, or their category and shelf system is not very good. You could say they have too many things. And I could say if they had more space and/or a better archival system, you never have enough things.
Unless I’m missing something major, the article does not answer its headline question in any way. It just presents a bunch of examples but does not come to any conclusion.
Well it's Japanese in that it comes from Japan, but it's not Japanese in the sense that wasp eating is a "widespread tradition" in Japan, or only in Japan, I guess.

It sort of sounds like you're embarrassed by the idea that people might think that Japanese are somehow bad (maybe "backward and poor"?) for eating insects, but I think that's an unnecessary accommodation of Western-folks' possible biased misinterpretations... I mean I understand wanting to be conscious of that, but I don't think it's "good" to be like, "Oh, it's a bad thing, let not anyone think that we all eating insects or nothing".

It could even be a sort-of inter-East-Asian-racism like, "Don't let people lump us in together and think we are like those Chinese who eat insects way more than us".

Maybe, I got you wrong there, but you know what I mean? :p ;) xx ;p
The majority of Netflix series produced in Europe are actually a pleasant surprise in that regard. When to comes to writing and acting as well as production, and yes, sound mixing.

I consider myself a fantasy and sci-fi nerd, binge read the Lord of The Rings, starting with the Hobbit, between Christmas Eve and when the first movie came out. Read the Simarilion. Loved the LotR triology. Like the Hobbit, ehich already strechted the source material a lot, but in a way that could be justified as a lead up to LotR. I did not manage to dare whatching the Amazon series, and propably never will. Thr LotR films, The Expense and the Star Wars series and first two triologies are the last movie ftanchises I still get immersion and suspenson of disbelieve from, I'm not taking any risks eith LotR.
I upgraded my receiver and TV recently and it was a pleasant surprise that Apple TV remote now switches the receiver on and off automatically so the setup really requires no tech awareness to use.
One could use a rotating mirror, whose angle of rotation would be determined by a circuit with photo-receptors sensing the direction of the Sun, which could give any desired proportionality between the angle of the Sun and the angle of its projected image.

One could also cheat and only give the illusion of a faster motion of the Sun, with a rotating mirror whose angle would be determined by a clock mechanism, i.e. which would need a knowledge of the time independent of the observed position of the Sun.
> I see no consideration for those whom are employed under employement contract to assign both moral rights and intellectual property to their employer.

When I got hired the contract was apparently not up to standards (but very nice). After a few years they got some lawyers to write up a new one, and it included such a "we own everything" clause.

I refused to sign it. The boss explained the intention was only on company time or with company assets. So I got them to change it to include that wording.

I'd never sign a contract with an all-encompassing "we own everything" clause, my spare time is mine. I know it probably wouldn't have held up in court where I live, but I feel it's about respect more than anything.
You don’t. In a system controlled, regulated, and maintained by a central party your privacy is vested in that party and as exposed to them as the system allows.

Privacy is also completely unrelated to the concept of anonymity. You can have either, neither, or both according to the exposure and identity provided to you by a given system.
This one might be a candidate - https://www.hackster.io/news/the-lisp-badge-is-a-self-contai...
The number of excessive keystrokes is largely irrelevant (as long as it isn't an order of magnitude too much), because typing the code on keyboard is generally far from the limiting factor for the speed of writing code.

Most of the time you spend thinking about what you should be typing.

So optimizing for the number of keystrokes is optimizing for the wrong metrics
Because GTA 6 is still in the early phase of development?

It wouldn’t be surprising. GTA Online makes so much money, Rockstar probably was in no rush to develop a follow-up game.
I don't think that's entirely true.

This will disrupt development for some time, they need to figure out what has leaked (seems the hacker also took code from GTA V and VI), what changes they need to make to their systems to prevent this again.

This will probably delay the release date of the game.

edit: fixed typo.
WoW also has Apple Silicon support from day 1
My reasoning is the opposite. If one tells their employer about their side project, the court is likely to interpret this as an admittance by the employee of potential conflict of interest. Otherwise, employer could defend by stating “Why would I seek approval from my employer? This is clearly outside the scope of my employer's business and of my employment contract.”

Above reasoning is in line with why companies don't search for existing patents when developing new technologies. If they search for prior work and are found guilty of infringement, that's considered willful infringement, in which case damages are tripled.
As a person who grew to adulthood under the crippling yoke of the British Imperial System and who has spent my time thereafter under the enlightened Metric System I simply cannot understand why the UK is always in some sort of perennial flap over metrification.

What's the real problem? Still smarting over the loss of the Imperial Empire - or is it a perception that God's Own Imperial System, - it being the natural order of things, life and the universe - has been usurped by the opportunistic French who - with the aim of humiliating the British in mind - have deliberately sought to replace the revered system with their nasty tainted European one as long-belated revenge for Waterloo?

A bemused world looks on and asks if it's not for the reasons stated above then what else could it be?

Why do the British keep shooting themselves in the feet by continually arguing the benefits of the Imperial System and reject the vastly superior Metric system that both Science and the vast majority of the world have accepted as a fait accompli eons ago?
Hi! I enjoyed the puzzle and I liked how puzzle itself explains every rule within itself. :)

I wrote an automatic solver for the puzzle in Scala and open-sourced in GitHub. : https://github.com/yusungsim/dogbunnysolver Check it out!
You never saw Simulink? It's super entrenched in automotive and aerospace.

It's also very nice to visualize models of components of cars/planes in Simulink using visual computing and play around with various blocks and learn how they affect the stability of the system.
To be fair, Projekt CD weren't famous for it either but it's becoming a much larger trend and the last release from Rockstar for GTA that I remember was widely considered rushed.
They seem to be using a lot of Microsoft/Visual Studio tools and some internal testing application.
If you enter any game studio nowadays, you're very likely to see Dear ImGui - it's pretty ubiquitous, and just flexible enough for programmers to make nice debug views for any purpose. It's nice in that you won't have to learn another UI kit when switching studios.
I wonder why the EU/UK/US don’t just pay Russian soldiers to surrender. How much would it take do you think? $5k each? Might be cheaper than shooting at them.
Fun game, but after the seizure, do I not get another board???
Yes, for their internal testing tools.
It's just ImGui and line traces. i.e. What everyone does because it's quick and easy to build.

Two recent experiences:

ASUS has Contact CEO page. They sent a response email asking for more details, which I sent. No response back whatsoever after that in spite of me reminding via 5-6 emails by now. This has been on a 'Premium' Warranty support request.

Wells Fargo insists on contacting via phone; does not provide email or web-based form to contact. Their official toll-free phone number for India seems always switched off. (I have reported this to US support, am hoping that they would help.)
As a long time Mac user my advice is to stop hoping. It’s been a decade of promises, and while you can get pretty decent games from the App Store right now, they are not interested in catching up to PC or console any time soon.
It would suck to see something you put so much energy into become it's own monster but at this point, with no pleasure saying so, it's beyond his powers to command. He's irrelevant.

"Saviour syndrome" is as real as "leader too long": he can't save it.
I thought short haul domestic flights were banned in France?
nothing special there, i remember similar thing in mgs3
Thanks, I will.

Yet you may understand your argument wasn't very convincing.
Atmos doesn't have channels - it has played tracks with their 3d location encoded to the receiver can convert it into the correct channel setup.

It's fundamentally different from the "static" channel mixes we had before.
I've done the same thing in the past.

Also regarding "availability". One contract said something like "The employee must be available for emergency work at any point" which also felt a bit abusive. When asked about it, they said "in extreme emergencies, and not after working hours of course, or when you're on vacation" so I refused to sign until that wording was added to the contract.

At first they claimed it was just "standard" wording and maybe they can't change it. But after refusing to sign the contract, it was apparently possible to change.
This does remind me of engineering school entrance exams in France, where I would be happy to get to 4 pages in the philosophy stuff, but then look around and see that in the same amount of time so many people wrote 12 or 16 pages.

I do think that a part of it was more of an upstream bottleneck in my mind, but part of me wonders if training that sort of writing skill helps with mental agility as well.
My only rule with goodie bags is that the sponsor items should be things that people will need anyway and that need to be replaced often or you need multiple of.

Good examples are pens and spiral notebooks, one can never have too many. Really bad things I have gotten are rubber wristbands and a "phone holder" that was supposed to hold the phone in place while charging.

Also emphasis on the "replaced often" part. Most people will probably use a bottle opener or a keychain thing, but they only need one. What is the chance that they needed one right before the event and that they will keep using the one the event gave them? Or for example, water bottles seemed like a cool idea when I first got one from an event, but now I have 5 water bottles with sponsor logos and I still only use the one that came with my carbonated water maker.
Yep, same here. Most of the movies which depend on "immersion" are just horrible. It doesn't matter if the dinosaur in "Jurrasic World Dominion" sounds realistic if I already want to quit the movie after seeing the first 10 minutes.
Jovial
Wow I don't agree at all (haven't seen the latest series, talking about TNG and the movies).

But, if I hadn't seen maybe two episodes, I might have the same impression.

How often do you see Captain (!) Picard out of uniform? The character of Picard-as-officer is constantly on stage, he's the master and commander of an entire starship!

Second most often, we see him on the Holodeck, where he's playing a captain playing an actor playing a role! Of course he chews the scenery there.

But when we see Jean-Luc, the civilian, something changes. All the Royal Shakespeare is invisible, he's an old man who carries a great burden, and has put it down for just a moment.

Patrick Steward is very, very good at what he does.
To nitpick: s/there is no secret on the target server/the target server never sees the secret/

With proper password storage the target server never keeps the password. It course that is difficult to verify. With U2F the secret can't store a secret they can't see.
