One of the few games I was able to play in The Netherlands, while my cousin who lived in Germany wasn't allowed to. (He had everything.)

I liked it, played it on our 80286. Battle Isle 2 was also fun. Doom, Doom II I enjoyed back in the days, tho on the Pentium. But its games like Heretic, Hexen, Duke 3D, Dune 2, Command & Conquer, Warcraft II, and the Keen with the living vegetables which stood out to me. They were either unique, hilarious, exciting, or atmospheric.

I remember pirating C&C with a bunch of floppies. Played GDI, the good guys like the good kid I was. Till I got to Greece, that was brutal for me. So I tried Nod. Well, only one or two levels worked. It was incomplete! I didn't have the proper floppies.

But almost all above games I played single player. Doom was good fun with null modem cable. I guess the most multiplayer fun was things like Quake II with Lithium mod and something like Tetrinet.

To be fair, I'm not sure if its the enthusiasm I had back then (easily enthusiastic and impressed as kid) or if it was genuinely amazing games. Because nowadays, hardly anything impresses me, while I see my youngest playing the shit out of a bunch of toy cars we bought second hand (about 20 of them, together for one EUR). Best investment I made in toys, ever. Cause I bet I'd have loved some kind of Rollercoaster or Railroad Tycoon sim (I did play Simcity as well) or Leisure Suit Larry back in the days. My point being: stuff you missed wasn't necessarily bad. You'll never know how good it was. Cause you're a completely different iteration of yourself, with a lot more experience (different context). And so, I have this rule for myself: don't replay old games. Keep it nostalgic. Cause it won't be as fun as the lovely memory. I mean, I loved Speedball 2 and Mystic Quest on gameboy, not many people I knew did, and that's OK. But whenever I tried replaying them, it was a huge letdown. Likewise, I get annoyed to smithereens with old games. The keybinds, the graphics, glitches, etc etc. We're spoiled with today's supercomputers :)

Regarding the Wolfenstein franchise, I think the one game which did it for me was Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Though I couldn't afford it back in the days, so I had to single player and pirate. Eventually Splash Damage's Enemy Territory got out. And that game I played an insane amount of time, as it was F2P without strings attached (as far as I can tell), and it worked native on Linux! Back then though, there were some weird people playing that game. With weird nicknames, for sure. I guess that aspect of gaming only got worse though...
There is the Kei standard in Japan for vehicle sizes. Being one of the most prominent societies as regard dense development practices, I'd trust that following Japanese standards elsewhere takes a lot of the development cost out.
I don't agree with the death penalty or cannabis prohibition, but 'just five kilograms' is about a 27 year supply for someone who smokes a couple of joints every day. It's not an amount you could have casually, you're definitely in it as a business.
Like any other company in the history of time has.

Get in early, be best-in-class for the important part of the development cycle and make it hard to switch.
Driving in a chaotic dense urban environment like San Francisco is much harder than driving in a giant suburb like Phoenix, which is among some of the most car-optimized, easiest places to drive in the world.

Cruise also operates in Phoenix; it would be interesting to contrast its performance with Waymo there.
"The hypermedia approach of building websites led to the world-wide-web being an incredible success."

Nvidia and Adobe think they may have solved generative A.I.’s copyright problem
They posted in every submission trying to get people to go to their submission. There are no comments there.
The author said "There are a lot of movies out there, so I ended up setting some guidelines on what to include, the first being no movies past the year 2000."
I try to leave comments for myself and others when I’ve had to write code that looks less than ideal. It’s nice to know something was hacked in for convenience or because it was the best solution at the time. :)
"Kill a tree just so that you can feel morally correct"

Because the cost of manufacturing a hardware eReader and keeping it charged doesn't have a corresponding carbon footprint.

Because that'll keep them solvent.
Why not just require landlords to have dedicate units to whatever class they want to favor?
Should say [1975]
i'm basically saying every time i go out and am included in a discussion involving elon. for the past 2 years this has been my experience, i've been traveling throughout 3 different very liberal cities and i don't find people who are as disgusted with his as the media implies. i think that echo chamber is a small one meant to deceive people.

if he was such a bad person, why is he doing so much good in the world?
That still has no visible connection to communism, unless you define "communism" as "high tax rates."

I am also curious to hear of any real-world countries where people choose not to work because taxes are too high.
This shocks me too. When I first had to design a system around spot instances I assumed it caps out at the on-demand price. But in practice that is very much not the case. The spot price can routinely go above on-demand, with all the downsides of spot still being applied to the instance.

It is because many systems are only built to support spot. When running a workload, they might not want to give up availability so they just pay the higher price. To be fair, this is a game that AWS engineers. They essentially want to kick people off the infrastructure to free it up for other uses. So this is a way to signal how badly you don't want to be kicked off. A lot of times after a price goes above on-demand pricing, it will dip down below fairly quickly as workloads all re-adjust. Some companies are willing to play that gamble, that a short period above on-demand is still cheaper in the long run when you average out the invoice at the end of the month.
Highly recommend the documentary “Goodnight, Brooklyn” if anyone loves indie/punk music and is still unconvinced of how hypocritical Vice is. It shows the artist space Death By Audio being forced out as Vice sets up their new HQ in Williamsburg. Great concert footage.
I stopped using cloud hosting until _it is actually necessary_

I have two home workstations that are collecting dust. I have 6 and 16 core CPUs with HT hooked up to 32 and 128gb ram.

I figured out how to make my dynamic IP still serve requests accounting for IP changes using a background script. If someone has a better solution I’d appreciate that.

Both these machines are more than enough to do everything I could dream of building and they host dozens of my little apps and services that I use for myself.

I will only use cloud when necessary for commercial product and services.
This!

It's like with static websites - we went from static to blogs rendered in php and then back to jekyll...
A better question would why the orgs actually working on solutions weren’t invited, instead of just the ones profitting from the problems.

Its like having a workers rights summit and inviting a handful of big employers and no one from labor, or an environmental summit with a handpicked elite group of polluters.
Yes I agree now. "High loss example" while not catchy might be closer. Although it is a bit backwards as you only think about creating the target once you sense the answer is not great.
I have the exact opposite experience -- as someone who always wants two adjoining rooms (for kids). Doing that in a hotel tends to cost as much as 3 times what an Airbnb would cost, and the airbnb is more comfortable. You just need to actually read reviews.
And speaking of "false friends", telepaths save the price of the phone call.
Just curious, what makes Crystal so much faster for this use case?
So, basically - if we don't fix everything, then we should fix nothing.
Ok, the problem with the nomenclature is it sounds like the demand for trips just magically appear when the road does. If you don't want to satisfy the demand for trips with additional road capacity, that's fine; additional road capacity is expensive, but then so are most forms of additional trip capacity, but using a misleading term to defend the choice is not a great way to do it.

You probably wouldn't be happy saying we shouldn't build additional housing in (wherever is housing capacity limited) because it will just induce demand for housing and it will still be capacity limited. Certainly, you'd need to build a lot of housing in San Francisco or New York or lots of metros to satisfy the unmet demand for housing and unless/until you build enough, housing will still be a congested resource, but there's no inducement; same thing with roads.

At some point, if you're not going to build housing and you're not going to build transportation (whether that's roads or rails or bike paths or flying carpets or whatever), you need to have a real coming to terms of this metro is full and how do we manage its population in a reasonable and fair manner.
I feel like thats a deliberate misreading of the parent comment.

Of course the FDA is not, itself, a democratic instution. But then neither is your local police department or NASA. The reason those institutions are accepted despite the lack of direct democratic accountability is because they are still situated within the larger democratic institution (the US government) and subject to oversight by those elected representatives.

If you hate the FDA your best bet is to lobby against it yourself (or help others that do). Its to much of an in-the-weeds issue for it to be a high priority for most lawmakers (unless maybe you live in a district with a lot of businesses regulated by FDA)
>The first world went through terrible times to claw our way to modern prosperity.

The first world outsourced the terribleness to the "global south" (aka poor non-white people) and continues to do so.

>we've been trying to come up with a model for charity and NGO-driven durable economic development out of poverty and have very little to show for it.

Agreed, because you cannot fix the inherent problems of capitalism with more capitalism. As long as it's profitable to export misery elsewhere, the misery will keep being exported. It's absurd to try and mitigate the effects of large-scale perverse incentives with dribbles of toothless activism that doesn't challenge those perverse incentives at the source.
People all over Europe do exactly this, though. You need space inside the car, not five tonnes of unnecessary metal around that space.
Hey, vegan here. Please don't use people's lack of ethics about eating meat as a justification to encourage them hurting animals in other ways. That is a bad use of veganism. I never want someone to resolve hypocrisy by getting rid of the ethics they do have.

It's one thing to point out hypocrisy about the suffering that the meat industry causes as a way to encourage people to think about whether it's necessary for them to eat meat. It's another thing to point out the hypocrisy around the meat industry as a way to say "so therefore you also shouldn't care about animal testing." That's going backwards, not forwards.

You are all allowed to care about lab animals even if you eat meat, I give you my... I don't know, my "vegan blessing" or whatever. Also, you don't need the vegan movement's permission to care about animals anyway, but whatever.

The point is, try to be kind to animals when you can be. And if you want to be more consistent, be more consistently kind, not more consistently cruel.
They mention this was before the Loma Prieta earthquake which was in 1989; if we take inflation from 1980 to now into account that'd be $1600-1900 today. Probably still good value, esp. given the view, but I guess it does depend on how it was furnished at the time.
AirBnB is like the proverbial curléd girl:

> The problem is that states are choosing to address this problem by bussing homeless to other states.

What is stopping EU members from doing the same thing between each other? Why are US states exceptional in this case?
> I feel like search still has its place.

I sure hope so. Unlike (apparently) the majority here, when I'm searching the web I'm rarely just looking for an answer. I'm researching. What I want is a list of possible resources to investigate. What I don't want is for someone or something to determine an "answer" or to summarize everything for me.

I hope my use case isn't tossed aside.
Well then the power structure in China is much much MUCH narrower at the top (1 person for life)
Battery energy density reaching that of petrol in a couple of years is unlikely to nigh impossible unless you’ll be switching to hydrogen fuel cells and even then I’m not entirely sure about that due to the energy density per unit of volume being drastically lower.
I think a company needs a solution that’s a bit more involved than an analog phone screwed to a wall.

If the checker is running the cards on their own merchant account and refunding immediately? Or doing auth, but not capture?

That's going to be in records of accounts that eventually report compromises, and get figured our pretty quick, I'd imagine.

> Carmakers are pushing the most expensive high margin vehicles for electrification in general.

From the standpoint of this discussion, the key point is that they are pushing the least fuel efficient vehicles for electrification in general.

> It's frustrating if you care about the end goal of getting carbon emissions drastically down in a reasonable time frame.

This is backasswards. If you want to reduce carbon emissions, replacing a full size SUV with an electric equivalent is going to save you more than replacing a compact sedan with an electric equivalent.
Marissa Mayer says Yahoo could’ve done better buying Netflix instead of Tumblr

Suspension, leg room, boot space and also safety the Minivan that you used to borrow in the 90’s was built quite differently.
Unless I missed it, this exploration doesn’t touch on what I think is of critical import: what were their parents and childhood like?

It really sounds they were disturbed, possibly mentally unwell people who became drug addicts. The rest would fit.

All in all I think the story is considerably less weird/mysterious than it wants to portray.
Hi! I don't know in which country you are, but in Canada you should call a lawyer right away and also delete this post just for good measure.

The using your personal data might be illegal just as creating a hostile work environnement/harassement/whatever material and emotional damage you could argue.

I don't recommend escalating through HR - if your personal data has been used I would not feel comfortable with anyone there, and they can take action against you before you do if they smell foul (same situation is happening to a friend of mine)

Good luck!

Even on-demand isn't guaranteed capacity. There have been a handful of times in my career where I've tried to spin up a lot more instances and got met with an out of capacity error. There's a special kind of reserved instance for guaranteed capacity.

Which is it, an overhead projector or a slide projector? They're different things.
>Ebay used to have an engineering limit on the number of items in their indexes so they couldn’t grow and had to increase fees instead to keep the item count down

I find this incredibly hard to believe. The hard limit on the number of total listings was deemed such an intractable problem to solve that rather than focus all engineering efforts for a few months on raising it, they just threw up their hands, didn’t even attempt to solve it, and tried to increase revenue solely through higher listing fees?
Remote work threatens the foundation of the commercial real estate market. Expect a huge push to get people back into the office - especially if there is softness in the job market.
I don't think there's much mystery - it's almost entirely for bragging rights. I remember when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows was leaked on LUElinks a week or two before release and it was just some random bloke who wanted to impress everyone. Same with the recent Discord leaks.
“Real” Cisco phones like those behind President Zelenskyy on magazine covers take .cop.sgn files, and can deal with SSL-VPN, encrypted media and/or signaling, IPv6, device certificates, etc. those features with a guard on duty usually suffices. It’s available if you need it and are willing to pay for, and freemium version is just coming later.

(They’re EOL too and on eBay dirt cheap. I don’t know if my calls are actually encrypted but it can be fun to burn a weekend trying to register it to FreePBX)
Duke Nukem 3-D was a great game if you were the type of kid that liked to modify your games rather than just consume them.

For a lot of us in grade school, it was our first introduction to games that actively encouraged you to mod them, it came with a level editor for the Build engine, and you could open up the CON files to physically alter the actual scripts and behavior of items and entities.

And when compared to id software's games (particularly the brown horribly muted color palette of quake), Duke Nukem 3d absolutely shone with personality and interactivity. There's a reason that it consistently scored in the 90s in old school PC gamer magazines.
It is their job. They are not private consultants. Like others have said, if the pay is too low, they should focus on that. Genius bar service is a free perk for customers. There is no payment for most of those interactions so adding a tip would create a whole new payment flow and make the whole experience much less customer centric. It would be a serious detriment to the Apple Store experience for customers. They must know there is zero chance Apple would agree to this, so it must be a toss-in as something the negotiators can 'give up' in a fake show of good faith.
I am asking that indignation be a genuine reflection of one's moral balance, and not be used as a tactical cudgel on issues where one is actually ambivalent.
Angular 2 works fine out of the box, and already provides a good architecture that noobs struggle to come up with in "freestyle" solutions like React. Angular's bi-directional binding is way superior and simpler to use vs React's mono-directional binding: you can just use bound variables, no need to do complicated setState or use abominations like Redux. Vue also has bi-directional binding. Essentially there are many alternatives that are superior to React, which is where it is mostly because of fame and popularity.
i can confirm that. it happened to me. went to a session to play irish folk. barely talked to anybody. every week i was just there to play. but after a few months everyone, including me was invited to a birthday party. part of the circle...

That's fair, I see that it is German. "EleutherAI Institute" is technically founded in NYC, but with diverse European/cosmopolitan roots and leadership.
Is a 20th-century mass transit system actually preferable to robocars once the technology is mature? My guess is it's the cities like Austin, planning new transit systems without designing for synergies with robocars, who are failing at urban planning.
The sock puppet liquidity argument, which I have agreed with for almost the entire time that I've been around crypto, now unfortunately well past 10 years, may finally get its first no BS test due to pending liquidation action by the Mt.Gox government trustee.

This individual appears to be largely outside the influence of the cartel, at most couple hundred people with a further concentric core of four dozen or so, who control all the liquidity levers and self-reported "usage" and "transaction" metrics in the whole system. These would be the large, long-established and highly publicity-averse miners and the pools they (pretend not to) control, the only group that can afford to burn transaction fees the prop up usage metrics, because they are actually paying a substantial share of those fees to themselves.

Obviously the payout to the people impacted by the gox hack has been perpetually delayed, and there's no guarantee it will happen anytime soon, but certain legal milestones have been reached that will make it quite difficult to delay past this year. When it does happen, we'll see a genuine liquidity event - something north of 120,000 Bitcoins - happen over a very short time, although the trustee has not disclosed how they will manage to do this without completely tanking the market or otherwise introducing slippage that privileges the earliest recipients of the payout over later recipients. This isn't tge same as a in-on-the-game joker like Musk talking about buying and selling a billion dollars in crypto in the past tense, where there is no way to measure his words against the market. The addresses that hold the gox coins are known and monitored.
> a major selling point of Node was running JS on both the client and server so you can write the code once

Yes... but some people like me just don't like JS so for us that was actually a rebutal.

So how do you do that? I'm probably missing something very obvious here.
it's called resume-driven development
The engineers are the ones setting the bar, the life story is to avoid assholes. Clearly he got past that, so congrats on not being an asshole, but the engineers weren't impressed enough.

There's a reason Shopify on your resume opens a lot of doors. They don't compromise on engineering.
Very interesting. The concept has been soundly rejected in the US. Except for San Francisco.

How’s that working out?

I think you would be shocked at how often banks have similar restrictions on corporate accounts. As would you be surprised at how often companies are hacked.
Yes, but it isn't a different colour, and that's what the author finds disturbing. Not sure what's to be not sure about.
I just realized you said 6. I was connecting to the theme of the article, which is reusables after 6.
Yeah, I just duplicated a Go method because it wouldn't accept a typed vararg as untyped (...any), and methods can't be generic either. I would rather not have static types at all than a not-quite-complete type system. I find Common Lisp's gradual approach to types very convenient.
