Those claims are fallacious.

It has nothing to do with the supposed greed that you absurdly assign to the engineer. It has to do with critical evaluation of the company's financial condition. A company that can not pay market rate because they don't have enough money can't afford to be in business and will not continue to do so for much longer.

There are lots of jobs out there, just like there are plenty of potential romantic partners. Sure, someone could date a homeless crack addict. Perhaps those who don't do so are shallow according to the same sort of argument being used here.

Just finished a 2 months module on Prolog in my 'Programming Paradigm' course.

It's true that in the basics, it's very simple... but it quickly becomes very complex and twisted as soon as you try to do something non-trivial. Also, the 'cut' operator surely doesn't help in keeping things understandable!

To 'learn' Prolog was a fun experience but honestly I'm glad we switched to something new (scheme), I was getting tired of it. My conclusion is that Prolog is quite good at building expert-systems (duh) but for anything more usual, it's too hard to comprehend.
Why didn't you sue them? That could've been profitable (they even acknowledged their responsibility) and apparently fair too.
Create Company Profile with PowerPoint
As a business man, you can only be in one place at a time. Your company profile, however, can be in many places, helping you influence potential and existing customers.

An effective profile clearly and succinctly outlines what a company is about and what it has to offer. We often print our company profile by paper and then send it to others. When create the company profile, we need tons of software like Photoshop, firework, illustrator and so on. Not everyone is the expert in using these software programs. Here, I want to introduce a more effective and easier way to create the company profile. That is, using PowerPoint to create it.
Safari either...WTF..
Hi ,

First thing i noticed and i always do hate this things is how good you are in some languages.
Unfortunately that means nothing as you cant really tell me you are an expert in Ruby (4/5)
Id recommend removing that and adding some concrete data why you are good at those.
Perhaps the projects you have actually done.

Also the Ruby is not really the same as the other icons.

Some more tags in html would be good etc

> key parts of the game logic and performed server side so you would need to reimplement the server in order to crack it

But game runs just fine for twenty minutes after disconnect (at least it simulates one city fine). You just may lose your progress because game saves "in the cloud".
"But I do believe that a large percent of the populations also needs some form of "socialized spirituality", and this is what traditional religions offer."

I think you're right, and that for most people (but not me), science and rationality doesn't offer this.

The important question is, why do people need this? Fear of death? Need to belong to a tribe? Whats important: "social" or "spiritual"?

Until we we know this there won't be successful "science based philosophy" (as nnq termed it) that avoids the pathological aspects of religion.
> Cute picture. But even after 50 years of this propaganda, I'm yet to see a woman driving tractors in Poland (yes, I've seen many men driving them).

Not a tractor, but my aunt was operating an industrial crane in the '80s in communist Romania.
Its tempting to doubt this chart because, after all, the original is based on percentages and that accounts for relative population through the decades.

But, I think (and it isn't entirely clear) that the op is claiming that since population changes During The Recession, the chart percentages need to be corrected throughout the period of the recession. Since population is growing, recovery compared to the original population is actually worse when compared to the growing population. Sort of like compound interest.

Any statisticians around that can make this clearer?
Eric Lippert's Monads - Part 5
Star Wars Episode 1 and 2 contain exact characters and other creative designs from Episode 4/5/6.

Not "like" them, not derivative of them, but actually them (e.g. Yoda).

So yeah, that would be a direct copy.
Inside every language there is a minimal language with all the syntactic sugar translated into a subset of the language.

e.g. the C# compiler turns "var a = 3;" into "int a = 3;" It turns anonymous lambdas into methods with generated names (i.e turns one line of code into 3-4 lines), and makes classes with constructors that do the environment capture if needed. It turns "yield return" generator methods into objects that have state.

While async/await is a cool feature and is worth using, it is worth noting the up trend in complexity of generated code – and ansyc/await generates significantly more code in the simpler language without this feature than previous new features did.

How much code does an await statement give rise to? it looks like about 40-50 lines to me.
Not free, but I saw SimCity 4 for sale on Steam for a small sum of about £3.99 the other week. I nearly bought it, if only to end the requirement to have the CD in to play it!
In the public/unclassified world, Flylogic (Chris Tarnovsky)has it down to about 3-6h to extract a key from a moderately protected device (TPM; generally FIPS 140-2 level 3 (physical), using about $1mm in equipment and one guy. This is after years of developing expertise in general, and spending maybe 2-3 months part-time attacking a single model of chip (although within a family, it looks like new models are usually quite similar in layout and protection mechanisms).

Attacking modules instead of chips is a little harder, especially because the modules themselves are more expensive, so expending hundreds of them in early testing is more expensive. But, for a national organization, totally feasible.

If you really want trusted computing, you need defense in depth; the devices need to be in a semi-trusted environment, so a theft/tamper event can be detected, and keys revoked, within the attack window. So, it's ultimately not possible in a feasible way for consumer-possessed devices (trusted computing for DRM); OTOH it works great in a server environment (if someone breaks in, you just invalidate all keys in the facility within a few hours).

HSMs (which have more active tamper response) are a lot better than TPMs (which are purely passive). You could probably trust an HSM even if it falls into enemy hands, unless the enemy is the HSM designer or NSA, for less than $50mm. The problem is there's no decent HSM for less than about $15k now (Thales/SafeNet duopoly). And HSMs have had implementation bugs in the past.
I guess its not about the temporary bubbles during disruption. Its about the steady state. Has the increase persisted?

Ultimately its a pointless fight. Encryption, wireless etc make it impossible to control the spread of plaintext information. And entertainment has to be rendered plain to be enjoyed.

Hm... maybe not! Maybe we can implant decoder chips into people's brains, and make them pay-per-view that way!
I read something recently on Doom9 that suggested the x264 psy tunings had their sweet-spot aimed higher up the bitrate scale and could actually be detrimental as the bitrate dropped to ridiculously low rates (as might happen in a live chat), but I'll bow to your superior knowledge.

I take it you believe x264 is better than libvpx for these use cases to some noticeable degree? Because even if x264 was tuned for this I thought there were some other considerations in the H.264 format that would make VP8 more competitive in this area than in other, no-holds barred maximum compression of high-bitrate files situations. (And I mean technically, not in the respective chances that people will actually use that specific H.264 encoder)
> And why bother? If you have the choice, why not go with HTML5 which already has some good and very fast free implementations available?

Well, I think this demo kind of proves why not: it doesn't work the same way on everyones browser. We've been talking for years now about html5 games obsoleting flash, but it doesn't seem to be coming together does it? My opinion on why not? We've got some serious problems with the spec and the people producing the spec. Even with the infinite resources of google, the chrome browser is not actually 100% compliant! Is that even fixable at this late stage of the game?

> Or as you're implementing your own environment anyway, go completely native?

That doesn't really help you distribute your games safely over the web to multiple people. Also, cross platform development is actually quite time consuming and hard, and the performance benefeits vs a VM are not really worth it for the average 2D flash-type game.

It would actually be a derivative of ep VI, since the characters and creative designs differ and precede it.

A direct copy, would be the _exact_same_ characters as depicted in ep VI, but alas they are not, they are however similar to, which makes it a derivative of.
Of course, without b-frames, VP8 can't beat squat.
I don't know, spirituality would seem specifically require some sort of "spirit" or supernatural, though there are perhaps other definitions.

I'm not religious and don't spend much time pondering science, though I do at least try to stretch myself mentally in various ways but solving a puzzle of some kind seems like a far cry from religion.

Yesterday I played this : Kingsroad - https://www.rumblegames.com/kingsroad

First I thought it was HTML 5 and the best HTML 5 game I've ever seen, turned out it's Flash Stage3D stuff. It might be possible to develop games like this in HTML 5 but I haven't seen one yet.
I'm not quite sure, but I don't think this has anything to do with structural typing.
I could understand a DMCA if the icons were direct copies and if FlatUI had not responded to any email requests.

Even then it's a good idea to put up a quick and easy comparison sheet.

But for things like "3 cogs" (cogs are different sizes, different colours, different numbers of teeth, different orientation) it's ridiculous to DMCA it. 3 Cogs is so generic that it's an annoyance to engineers. (Because the cogs are usually drawn in such a way that they cannot possibly turn).

HN is generally pretty good when people rip off a design. Even people like me (who have very little idea about design) respect the amount of work and expertise that goes on. But it's because I have so little clue about design that people need to explain the similarities. If you're the first people to curl a newspaper under then tell me that. Show me what people used to do, and how you innovated that.
Christianity is also dying in New Zealand and Australia -- and I say that as a New Zealand christian.
Yes,for each await it basically generates a state machine. It's pretty crazy to think how much code you don't have to write by using "await".
> Cute, right? I have the same impression, but this may be because I didn't live then and I don't associate it with all the other things that happened then instinctively.

Well, this was slightly sarcastic. I wouldn't hang this picture on my wall, but it was clearly intended to look good like all the other pictures showing people happily running around with hammers or sickles and building better socialist future :)

As for whether encouraging women to pick up technical or scientific jobs (when it works) does any good, I'm not sure. I'm under impression that lower number of women in IT and CS is mostly caused by the female part of "I've no idea what I'm doing, I kinda landed here by accident" crowd going somewhere else. Those who are serious get through regardless of sex and the rest, well, isn't serious.
I know facts are tough, but the MPEG-LA is in no wise comprised of trolls. Dolby, Apple, Philips, Samsung, Microsoft -- not NPEs, sorry.
Since scientific understanding (including the understanding of understanding) changes relatively frequently (at least compared to religion) I strongly suspect that any "science based philosophy" will eventually devolve into a cult.
H.264 is in no way an inferior technology, from a video compression point of view.
I tried the HTML5 game, kept pressing fire and switched to Exposé with the F3 key.

Ah, so apparently you have yet to discover the secret to enjoying life.

It's called "not giving a fuck" and it works like a charm.

And by the way, I have frightening dreadlocks and though I may in fact, get the occasional "YOU'RE a programmer!?" paired with a squinty look, I'm too busy solving problems of value to my customers to give a damn.

Try it. It works.
This is bad but it also looks like you didnt have a proper backup strategy. Their service looks like a versioning/syncing service but not a backup service.
"yield return" also makes a state machine, but a simpler one. I like async/await, but I am aware of the steep upward trend in internal complexity of these features.

IMHO this means that the fruit of these features are no longer so low-hanging.
Many logical fallacies:

Cherry picking 1:18 - Dinosaur Planet, probably the only game where the main role was changed after significant publicity and development had been done.

Equivocation (Ambiguity) 3:06: When she says "Disempowering"

False attribution 10:38 - If one is a secondary character therefore is an object of the main character, therefore is being objectified.

Slippery Slope 10:48 - Kidnapping is equal to stealing, you only steal "things", therefore women are always objects when they are kidnapped.

Black or white fallacy 11:19 - Because woman are not the main focus, therefore men are, therefore games are sexist (Hint: False, its about entertaining subjects plus supply and demand eg: Hitman = Killing silently, GTA = Anarchy).
Strawman and appeal to emotion 11:39 - Provincial quote just to focus anger on the game industry. ("Is said that in the game of monarchy woman are not the opposing team, they are the ball.").

Strawmen - Saying that browser and mario are the important characters and the princess is just "the ball", Browser is not important and you don't even think about him until the end of the game. And Mario for its lack of emotional and psychological traits becomes more of representation of the player (the human) than a character by itself. She uses an image of Peach inside a bubble jail in order to persuade the viewer in favor of her position.

Cherry picking 12:30 - Showing games of the 80s and 90s purpousolly omiting titles such as Metroid (Woman character), Tomb Raider, Resident Evil 1, 2 , 3 and 5. Mortal Kombat (All, Kitana, Sonya, Jade, Sheena) Rogue (X-Men), Kirby (unknown sex femenine characters), genderless games (Metal Warriors, arcanoid, tetris, Sim City, Uni Rally, lemmings), all sport games (most people who play soccer are men, more people playing videogames are men, therefore is so obvious why the game only haves men that she better omit this enterely to not let anyone make a correlation of this same logic in other area of her critique. This also happens with games and proffesions, more firefighters are men, therefore the main player in the game "The Firemen" is a man)

Omitting information [all video] - Soldiers are historically the ones to go to war and kill, therefore most representation of soldiers and similar roles will be man. Real-life reasons to go to war are corrupt or/and highly controversial; games try to be more friendly and less controversial by using a well accepted premise from centuries ago and one of those is the cliche of Knights fighting to rescue women.

Not a established logical fallacy but introduces a lot of history that doesn't support any of the facts she is talking about but she speaks as it does; plus doing it in a overly-formal tone just to look more serious to gain credibility with mostly biased, false or unrelated claims.
You need to compare it to the alternatives. For instance how much IL will be procuded from creating Tasks with Continuations?

Async/Await makes it easier to write asynchronous code in a traditional linear manner, it's easy to shoot yourself in the foot but it's just as easy with the alternatives.

Here's an article that I wrote a while back on what Async & Await generates: http://blog.filipekberg.se/2013/01/16/what-does-async-await-...

So I think the Noun Project should just send a takedown notice to LayerVault. Since the perjury clause only pertains to contact info and whether they can represent the project itself, that would have the same consequences for "accidentally" getting the actual allegation wrong (=none), right?

Show HN: Made some improvements to our site, would love your thoughts
Hi guys,

We created getinspired365.com a month ago and have made some big improvements based on the comments you made. Today is a big day for us - we are trialing our new 'tribute' page, with a dedicated slideshow for someone/event. We are really excited about it.

The tribute page works in much the same way but it provides a user with a great slideshow effect. Within this slideshow there are many quotes, pictures and lots of useful information about that person or subject.

We'd love to hear your feedback and how we can improve it. We are very much focused on inspiring people but also feel there is a bit of a market in creating these types of tribute pages - which we don't think have been done (in this way) before.

thanks
> Well, I think this demo kind of proves why not: it doesn't work the same way on everyones browser.

Still, you are comparing this to flash, which has only one complete implementation at all which is only available on a subset of platforms and not open source. This number of platforms is decreasing, not increasing (ie, Android dropped).

> That doesn't really help you distribute your games safely over the web to multiple people.

Agreed, no one solved the problem of cross-platform application development (both desktop and mobile) yet. And flash doesn't succeed much, if any, better than HTML5 in this regard. But looking forward HTML5 looks more promising too me.

Efficient and Insightful Generalization
I like the more general definitions like: social scientists have defined spirituality as the search for "the sacred," where "the sacred" is broadly defined as that which is set apart from the ordinary and worthy of veneration. For myself,I like to think in terms of the known (intuitive known vs theoretical rational known vs empirical rational known) vs. the unknown (known unknown vs unknown unknown) and so on, rather than natural vs supernatural, since everything can be natural if you have a less contrived definition of nature.

I consider a tough scientific or technical or technical problem enlightening because it shows you the limits of your mind and how much you don't know or don't understand - this makes you more humble and teaches you to accept that you will always be surrounded by deep "mysteries" that you will never have the resources to comprehend. And otoh, when you finally solve a hard and deep problem that brought you to the limits of your mind, you realized that even the limits were an illusion and that your mind could maybe even comprehend the entire universe. For me it's easy and natural to find spirituality in science and technology, but I understand that people like me are basically "anomalies" and I understand other people's need for the more "magical" type of spirituality and for having it as a social thing (and I know there are other types of "anomalies" as well, not in bad sense - the one who can just take science and understanding "as is" with no need for spirituality). This is why I think there is huge unsatisfied market for all sorts of very different "spiritual products"!

Although you do need to know whether your customer is in the UK or not, you can collect that through the address. You don't need to know whether the customer is a business - if you're providing VAT receipts then the business in question can claim the VAT back anyway.

Often people will deduct VAT at the point of sale for businesses as a convenience, but it's not mandatory or required.

There will be no links because you are talking with someone who has a disproportionate distaste for Jews. Look at the comment history.

I am pretty amazed that when people make ridiculous comments about history, sources are not required.
