kamakazizuru asks if it's possible to block the leak

mdisraeli answers how, and remarks that many of the sites they're visiting are not in the cache

blueskin_ explains why those sites are not in the cache

pfg challenges blueskin_

Yes, 'some' of the sites will be cached by windows, this was explicitly stated in the original comment by mdisraeli. I don't know why you're acting like anyone is wrong. Did you skip midisraeli's comment accidentally, which lead you to think blueskin_ was offering a flawed solution to kamakazizuru? Blueskin_ was not offering any kind of VAC-related advice or information, just explaining Firefox's weirdness.
Meaning "Ideas are worthless" is a (semi) polite way of saying "You are worthless".
To clarify: I wasn't trying to make a point, one way or the other, about income inequality. The rich are getting richer, and that's a topic for a different discussion. I was simply pointing out that FundersClub accepts rich people because those are the only people they can accept. It's pointless to blame them for a policy they didn't create, but have to abide by.
I agree with the other commenter that real-time daily approval doesn't seem to be a big selling point (I'm not sure it's even worth mentioning in marketing, because it might actually elicit negative reactions).

But the idea that the employee gets the money immediately/overnight upon approval at the end of the trip, or maybe weekly (for long trips), instead of waiting weeks for a paper check, is huge. As is offloading a lot of the accounting 'grunt work' of it to another company. And snapping photos of receipts with location and time data and categories directly attached, and not having to worry about where they're stored (it's all in the app and on servers) is a huge convenience too.

Sounds like an exciting idea.

The question is, if governments can keep up with the companies (read: Google) buying your technology. They need to be taxed properly to invest in education and wealth distribution to keep up with the job losses.

If the technology reaches a point where it cannot be improved but gains characteristics of a natural ressource (e.g. green energy), which should be accessible to the people, governments should restrict and/or take over in some way for example by letting pension funds invest in it.

There was a programme on TV here in the UK a while back which featured an incredibly cost-conscious (read: mean) guy who turned off the ignition of his holiday hire car "to save money" while going down a winding mountain road in Spain. The steering locked and the car went over the side. Luckily he and his family survived and they were able to slaughter him on national TV over the incident.
Deflation hurts anyone who has a mortgage or any other kind of debt. Theoretically it rewards savers, but if prices are falling then wages then to do so as well, consumption and production go into a downward spiral.

Anyone who thinks defaltion is a good idea is essentially thinking that their small cash pile will magically grow to be worth more without them doing anything, which seems enormously attractive because it's a) easy and b) there isn't any of that unpleasant risk that comes with investment, and which makes it so hard to decide what to invest in. So everyone who has money stuffs it under the metaphorical mattress, and people who don't have any can't get any because the supply of credit has vanished. Economic growth slows way down.

"A credit card is not sufficient ID for a loan or withdrawl"

Not completely no. A little fraud is normally necessary. A little social pressure, just one person not following proper security procedures. Note how Jeremy Clarkson published his credit card number to prove that leaking credit card numbers wasn't a security issue, and someone promptly withdrew £500 from his account (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7174760.stm). I understand that the bank takes the hit in cases like that, but in the meantime you are out of pocket of far more money than you were carrying in cash.

My point is there is a non-0 (albeit small) risk that they do get something from it. And then its a hassle to sort it out (check statements carefully for the next few months, phone bank on any suspicious items). I realize I ought to be doing that anyway, but it normally falls so low on the priority list I end up checking once every 3 or 4 months.

I haven't started this discussion with them yet. I'm trying to figure out what my position is before I bring it to the CEO. We have employees with children, so that's not the issue. It's more about me essentially turning it into a 9 to 5 instead of an "eat, sleep, and breathe" situation. I guess since this is my first rodeo, I want to make sure I can give as much as possible to my new family.
I have one tip for you: grovel.

I've found that people don't respond unless they know that you really, really, really care. That's why most of my support emails include lines like "We're here to support you in any way we can so if you run into any problems whatsoever please let us know," or "We'll do everything we can to help you achieve X, so please don't hesitate to contact us if we can help in any way."

I've found that anything less strongly worded than that comes across as formality rather than a sincere offer.
It was omitted because it's a complex design issue. Someone using the future would assume that if they added a callback, it would run on the same thread that they called it from. That's not possible in the general case: the thread they called it on may not have an event loop and so could not be directly notified.

It's better to leave this to frameworks or libraries that have their own event loop mechanism to handle callbacks.

"You get what you pay for"
Just because expenses aren't submitted in batch, doesn't mean you can't approve them in batch.

Having more transparency into incoming expenses is proving to be helpful for managers. What frequently happens in companies today is that people sit on receipts for months on end. As a manager, when you get receipts from two months ago, how do you know if that is a valid expense? And how do you budget for expenses when there is so much delay? Many managers have to hunt down their teammates and remind them to get expenses in before they close the books, because all this delay makes bookkeeping harder.

As an employee, when you're entering expenses from a trip 2 months ago, how do you remember what the expense was for? What if you lose the receipts?
technically they are called aubergines and eggplants, but saying 'aubergine' gives blanks stares anywhere I've been in North America. As a designer I love fancying up eggplant dishes on restaurant menus with 'aubergine' in the name if they'll let me, and then still include the word 'eggplant' in the description of the dish for those who aren't aware of the meaning.
If that's true, then it'd make Ken Levine just an asshole. If he wants to leave and do something different, fine, but why set the building on fire on your way out? It doesn't require firing a successful team for you to go do something different, plenty of people leave successful companies to start something new.

My guess, though, is that he didn't actually make that choice and was told by Take-Two to downsize, and this is him pretending it was a voluntary "creative" decision, like politicians who want to spend more time with their family.

If you can provide statistics on bugs being an order of magnitude higher in dynamic languages to back up your figures here, it would be a far more convincing argument. I'm sure type safety catches a few bugs and prevent some from being made, but does it catch as many as you think?
I worked deeply with both static and dynamic languages as well. I do feel that it's easier to refactor in scala than ruby, especially in large projects.

In ruby, you have to have close to 100% test coverage because if you don't you can't have any confidence when you refactor. For example, in ruby project, even a simple delegation call needs to be tested, otherwise you may break it without knowing it when you rename the method delegated to.

You don't need to write such test in a Scala project because there is no business logic in a simple delegation and the compiler will check the rename for you, actually the IDE will do the rename refactor perfectly for you.

In general, some of the unit tests devs wrote in Ruby projects are not to test against business logic but to test type matching. For type related refactoring, they actually have to refactor both the code and unit tests. The dilemma here is that if you are changing your unit tests, how confident you are that they are still covering your refactor?

You can't validate each mouse click before updating the client's view, but you can do the same aim validation as you do movement validation to prevent teleportation or excessive movement. Basicly, validating 1,000 motions a second is no problem it's latency that's the issue. So now you can still cheat but your limited to human reaction times or the server can detect and boot you.
There's been a significant change in the ownership profile of the company the last several years. Not sure if that's in any way related but a lot of the private equity firms involved in owning Take-Two have been selling off their positions.
Irrational created some of my favorite games, because of the amount of thought and attention to detail they poured into them. I loved most of them.

* SWAT 4: How cool is a multiplayer shooter where you actually have to breach a room from multiple sides to pressure the enemy into _not shooting_? And hold your guns until you saw any indication they would? We played that game for nights in one room for better communication.

* System Shock 2: Deeply flawed in some regards, but also the first game that creeped me out in a _perfectly well lit and bright environment_. Shodan, as always, was a great enemy.

* Freedom Force Series: A comic strategy game. It wasn't that hard (it wasn't easy, either), but had "comic" written all over the place. The description if you hovered the cursor over a mere building was "A proud participant of the Patriot City skyline." Someone put an ironic joke on the patriotic theme of the game in the description of a boring apartment block... How fun is that?

BioShock was a culmination of all that. Would you kindly pay them your respect?

> I'm not sure how much I care considering the cops

> if desired.

You should probably care quite a bit. Sure, cops can already make you stop with force, but this requires effort and coordination on their part. A remote disabling system is virtually-effortless.

History has shown that these "conveniences" are abused. Wiretaps were originally pitched as "extreme cases" techniques. Stun guns were pitched as a non err less than lethal weapon for use in cases where deadly force would be required. Now stun guns are routinely used on non-violent people.

This will be misused by law enforcement. This will not be solely used to catch criminals. It will be used against dissidents and activists. It's illogical to think any other way.

A lot of studios seem to grow to a size where their product looks like this:

A game that would be considered incomplete ~5 years ago is launched. You then ship up to a dozen DLC packages that add incremental content so that the complete purchase price of the game and all DLC is 2 to 3x the original retail price.

That's how they justify the huge teams. I know it's very different market, but just look at how Turbine went from 500-600 employees to under 200. Look at how Zynga had 2,000 employees. Now wonder what, exactly, all those people were doing?

It's compelling, especially to veterans like Levine, to return a team that's no more than 3 or 4 dozen people and create / ship a complete product that they have a high amount of creative control over. Reminiscent of Double Fine / Psychonauts.

At least I hope that is what they are doing.
It's not the fighting and trolling that causes 90% of the problems, it's the delay on the video that means everyone has to guess where the game will be half a minute in the future.

Such a shame that twitch changed streaming technologies recently. It used to be easy to get as low as 2-3 seconds of latency. A world of difference in something like this.

For example, that ledge, it was easy to get enough 'right' movement to overpower malicious 'down' commands, because the first input in a direction only turns the character. But there were 'down' commands needed to get to the ledge, and the lag caused them to keep pouring in after they were no longer needed.

This article is a nice overview of the spectacle but its premise is fundamentally flawed.
Since anyone planning to use their car to get away from the police would disable this device/software, only honest folks would have it enabled. So the only sure way for law enforcement to use it would be to disable the cars of innocent people to act as roadblocks in front of the pursued. And, of course, there would be an incentive for the pursued to figure out how to disable cars behind them. Doesn't seem like a game we should play. I mean, at least in my dystopian imagination.
Beg pardon? I don't know what you mean. Most embedded companies purchase a chip... sometimes the compilers come from the same company that made the chip, sometimes not.

Yeah, cargo-cult branding is an automatic negative to me as a consumer - it says the firm has no USP and is basically seeking capital to engage in an insurgent price war with a weak incumbent. That's not inherently bad, but the endgame seems to be an identical pursuit of economic rents or acquisition by an established rentier.
Tricks for GPU Composited CSS
The worth people are talking about here is, for the most part, the market rate. If you don't own the business, your labor is fungible and the revenue you bring is not separable from the rest of the company, your worth based on revenue criteria like the one you mention is irrelevant and impossible to calculate, because part of the input is the system you're placed into and its cost is the profit deliverable to the owners. In general, the market does a better job of attributing how much of the profit is due to the capital, the system, the management, etc and how much is your contribution than any sort of ad-hoc, I produced X type of analysis.

If that's not the case and your production is separable from the rest of the system, that does set a floor for your market rate because you can just do that on your own and keep the money instead.
Ugh. I think I glossed over that line while reading the post due to not wanting to believe it. Ignore my hypothesis posted elsewhere in the thread.

Look at it the other way. In fact, you can do a blind test. Try writing in a strongly, (well[0]) statically-typed language for a while, and count the number of times your code fails to compile due to a type error.

Each of those would likely have been a runtime error in a language like Python.

Just earlier today, I had to write a short Python script (I normally write Go), and I was bitten by this. I'm used to the compiler telling me up-front when I try to concatenate a string and an integer, or when I misspell a variable name.

Yes, there are other ways around this (and proofreading your code before you write it is a good practice, in addition to tests). But static typing can make development much faster[1].

Even if you claim that you would have caught all of those bugs in unit/integration/system tests (which I simply don't believe - no real-world project has test coverage that's that good), it's much better to catch bugs at compile-time, because (unless you're writing C++) your tests take much longer to run than your code does to compile.

[0] I qualify this to rule out C, which has weak typing as well as memory management issues to complicate things, and Java, which just has a terrible type system period.

[1] In some sense this is all a moot point, because any difference in development speed and/or code correctness between statically-typed and dynamically-typed languages is dwarfed by one's familiarity with the languages in question. The only real way to test this directly would be to use a statically-typed language that allows disabling of all compile-time type checks as a compiler flag or pragma, but few languages do this in a way that'd be straightforward to do a meaningful blind test.
