Unreal helps your developers make the game.

Apple gives you a market place to provide marketing, handles the "do I trust them" problem, makes the pain to pay nearly non-existent (another CC form?), and handles the installation process for you. Ditto for most other platforms.

The platforms are more acting like Publishers than frameworks now, so directly comparing these prices is a bit hard.
Designing for the lowest common denominator
In the linked article it is said that "According to prior research, only some 13% of values are used more than once". So based on the research on which Mill is based on, your example and that "instruction can use any result on the belt" is actually minority case.

As for scheduling my proposed store-addressed belt: you perform as many operations in parallel, then for each operation find the other operation that depends on the former's operation result, calculate the distance between them and assign it as the former's store address. The compiler has more work to do yes, but not "much more difficult".
Julie's argument wraps around the idea of "designing for the lowest common denominator". In an age of responsive design, I find it strange that a tech company wouldn't have the manpower to design arguably the most used website it the world to give the best experience to different types of end users.
From what I've heard of HyperCard and learning programming languages, children definitely could create a small game, short animation or interactive story. At nine years old, it would probably be rudimentary, but they could learn the basics. Without meaning to be rude, this question's like asking "What would you expect a nine year old to accomplish regarding writing and drawing?"

If you don't like that analogy, consider how children often learn the basics of woodworking or sewing through small projects that might not be useful or even be completed. Programming could work the same way.
don't fool yourself.
Wonderful. I'm founder @ parcel.io and we're doing just this. For regular people to just discover data. We have a few built in layers, one for history, politics, etc. When you enable them, you can view a layer of locations in that categories specific color. Lets say I walk beside a certain monument, I can grab data of it (pictures/videos/text) and learn more about it by being in proximity.
Compared to what? A Tesla isn't anywhere near my price range (and I drive a C-class).
Well done, but it would have been better if the graphics depicted a right scalene triangle -- the more general case -- rather than a right isosceles triangle.
Owning a small company doesn't magically exempt you from obeying the law.
Really great work! A few quick questions - is the engine restricted to rendering from a fixed viewpoint as in your demo, or is that just a facet of the game you want to build with it? Also, would it be possible to speed up rendering by identifying occlusion from the viewpoint and not rendering those voxels as opposed to the "building up" demoed in the video?

Really great stuff!
Didn't they just switch OSes last year? Blackberry 10 is QNX-based.
Really glad you liked it!
Where are you looking for data analysts? Coming out of academia, it always seems strange to me that people can't find data scientists. I could throw a baseball and hit someone who has a masters in physics, hates their job, has written production code in at least three languages, and thinks $60k a year is an ungodly huge sum of money. I would guess that, if you sent a recruiter to the graduate lounge in any physics building on any campus and mentioned that you're hiring, you'd get at least three resumes from disillusioned students who'd love a change of pace. Hell, my resume would have been on that pile if you'd done it before this month.
Sugary Foods Are Killing Us. The Internet, Not So Much.
The allegory to HyperCard is interesting as HyperCard had its own programming language, HyperTalk.

Same with Macromedia Director, which also had Lingo (which was similar to HyperTalk). I never considered those apps as "no programming required" but more like "less programming required"

I agree, amphetamine/methamphetamine really boost my creativity and productivity, however it was too much for me to handle. I have experienced some of the most intense mental breakthroughs and produced some of my most creative works with speed, but it takes it's toll in a heavy way, atleast if you go at it like I did. I am just now starting to feel normal again 6-months later after recovering from a 3-month speed fueled intellectual adventure that landed me in the mental hospital twice due to psychosis. I think there is a reason our minds are calibrated with particular dopamine and neurotransmitter levels, when we alter these levels we see the amazing potential of the human mind, but the brain hardware can't handle it unfortunately. Addiction is hard, now I am back to coding (sober) and I find myself thinking about having a bump whenever I feel unmotivated, which is often.
I'm a bit confused.

The YC VC program (and it's earlier incarnation) made sense to me because VCs wanted access to YC deal flow. But now with the new program traditional LPs are investing at the same time (i.e., acceptance to YC) as YC LPs, but with much worse terms.

Maybe I'm missing something here?

> It interferes with your life because it's very difficult to be productive in any way if you can't concentrate for whatever period of time and being productive is what's valuable to society.

By this reasoning, anything that reduces productivity as currently valued by schools acting a proxy for employers is a candidate for treatment.

Examples include: questioning authority, emotion, and passion for things whose value has not yet become apparent.

Other problems include the notion that schools today have the ability to judge what kind of people we will need to be in the future.
The only reasons I can think of is that they are still used either for consistency, or for "backwards compatibility" with the reprinting of documents.

$42M actual loss, $382M in tax accounting fluff.

They're estimating profitability by end of FY2015 (february 2015). That sounds reasonable, given the investments they're making on the future of the company, rather than just trying to goose the numbers for stock performance.

BB10 is the best mobile OS I've used, and I'm glad to see they're on track for turning the company around.
Thank you! Yes, no occlusion culling yet, that could speed it up quite a bit (but additionally the user can cut away at any predefined layer interval, so maybe everything needs to be rendered?).

Rendering does not have to be fixed point, I've thought up ways to do first person view, but it would require projecting each chunk onto a sphere and wouldnt work well for non convex chunks. Anyhow for now I have to pick my battles so only isometric at the moment :)

Right. We need to stop treating human interaction and people's livelihood, their very ability to earn a living and have a home and feed themselves and perhaps their family, as something that can be statistically gamed.

Grow the fuck up or do not run a company. Childish viewpoints are for the playground. If your friend can't deal with the fact that you offer a more attractive work environment, he or she deserves for their company to tank and the smart employees will follow the first one who leaves.

The redesign, the wait, and the response
I suppose you could substitute "risk-takers" for "scrappy" since risk-taking is inherent in starting a company. I would say that scrappy is more indicative of someone who is entrepreneurial without necessarily relying on a strong background or network already available to them (since the use of risk-takers has received some backlash from some commenters).

Black Berry has owned QNX Since 2010

-Retracted-

Your correct they did push BlackBerry10 in 2013, but BlackBerry 7 (No clue what happened to 8, and 9) was not an upgrade from 6 and was only available on newer phones. Which leads me to believe 7 was actually the QNX implementation.
1.) We charge operators listing fees and use typical recurring SaaS pricing for the investor/asset management features. We're (of course) working on a home page redesign that communicates this clearly. RealCrowd pricing is not unlike an MLS or other marketing platform.

2.) $235MM+ is the total value of the assets that have received equity funding through RealCrowd. Kind of like PG saying YC portfolio companies have a total value of $XXB. Though in our case that number is based on the value of real property at the time of acquisition.

Thanks!

EDIT: Grammar
Do you teach people about "hygiene", e.g. data provenance, versioning, and how to design schemas? I work on "big data" stuff at one of these major companies, and IMO the state of things is pretty sad. A typical pipeline involves a bunch of files strewn about a distributed file system, or a pretty messy database, especially when multiple teams are involved.

The tools (I use) don't encourage good practices or have good defaults. You have to put in extra effort and write proper metadata, etc.

I think things are just new so this kind of issue doesn't get much attention yet. Curious to see if anyone has written anything about it. I guess academics and government and people who have to keep data around for a long period of time will have thought more about this.

Leave. You're a bad fit for the company culture. The company culture is a bad fit for you.
Instead of changing the font on screen for documents can Printers have a setting that would allow all printing to happen in Garamond or one of the cheaper to print fonts? That way you have best of both worlds. Your screen fonts will be what you like while your printed font will be the cheaper one.
Lots of bookstores, cafes, antique shops, whatever, are labors of love. And not only things like that. A bakery---a good bakery!---exists to make good bread. It has to sell that bread and cover its costs, etc., in order to do that, but it doesn't exist in order to make the money necessary to cover its costs. If that were why it existed, it would be easier to abandon the end of making good bread!
Introducing the Google Keyword Planner
Okay, fair enough. I can't claim to know his precise meaning, unless he personally clarifies. That's my interpretation of his words, in the form of: {

var it = "drinking";
corollary(it, "stop ${it}, because ${it}, doesn't get better");

} ...but you certainly could be equally right, given his reference to Phil Katz.

My hopes are biased towards OP trying to make the statement: "do stop drinking", but hopefully not living in such a state where he believes, and proclaims a statement such as: "life is not worth living"
In addition to the fact that this is inhumane, even from a business perspective, it's important to look at the Apple Google relationship, appeasing Steve Jobs was not a winning strategy for Google and it becomes increasingly clear that they AND individuals who wanted to work for them lost out on great opportunities to do things that were clearly in their mutual interest because it might upset a fucking sociopath.
"e ink" is a trademark of the E Ink Corporation. Other vendors of e-paper displays can't use the same name, regardless of what type of display technology they use.
I second this. I've met a number of the Insight Data Scientists, and they are incredibly impressive. It will be very interesting to watch the progression of those lucky enough to get into the Data Engineering program.
Does it support rotating around the main viewpoint at 90 degrees? I can imagine some really cool tactical battle sims, since the buildings have interiors, but things getting hidden by buildings might make it a bit fussy. Being able to quickly rotate around a building, even at fixed angles (a la sim city) would solve that.

Come to think of it, a simcity + simtower combo game would be great. Zone out an area, then choose what goes in each building and slice away sections of buildings to watch the ants go about their business.

I saw someone else post about this "corner" method and the highest score I've gotten is ~5000, with my highest square being 256. Before that I got to 16,696, with a 1024 square being my highest single square, just by moving it randomly, and I consistently get over 10k. My goal is to get a 2048 square, which is why I tried this method, but to no avail.

My Infiniti payment is something like ~$550/month. To go to a Model S would only cost me ~$800 more per month, which is 5 hours of my time from a billable perspective.

Yes, the payment is higher, but I'd have no fuel expenses (currently ~$350/month), so technically its only $450 more a month (3 hours of my time).
Very very pretty graphics. I love that it doesn't look like voxels.

I wonder if you could use this to import and export meshes from a physics sim?

If you could turn the brick wall, for instance, into a Havok mesh, simulate knocking it down, and then convert the results back into voxel land you could do some really neat turn-based persistent-world destruction stuff.
I am using Mint 16 now; first time using it. Previously I was using Ubuntu. I had to switch to Mint because we got W540's at work which has a lot of new hardware that is not currently supported (well). I wasn't able to get Ubuntu working on it properly, but I have been impressed with Mint so far. The only issue right now is that it doesn't see my nvidia card and so I have to use the integrated chip instead of the discrete one. I'm hoping that Mint 17 fixes the issue.

How hard is it to get a custom system up and running from Arch? I haven't done anything like that in a few years although I've had a lot of experience with setting up custom FreeBSD systems. Is it more or less like that?

What I'm reaching for is something that "just works" and that I can work on reliably instead of having to fix obscure problems all the time. I figure once I set something up that works, I can simply create an image of it to use later.
The thing that helped me the most was to simply accept that I was not alone in my pain/struggles. For far too long did I imagine that my pain was unique. Once I opened up to friends I found, to my surprise, that many people were going through a very similar type of strife. Accepting that you are not alone is a major first step towards recovery.
A 3d rendering and some specifications. Not much here. But, given all they are trying to cram into the headgear, it sounds very heavy. Like, virtual boy heavy.

Makes sense - thanks for the quick response!
Rather than attempt to get millions of people to manually change fonts, just make "Skimpy Print" a layer that fits in between the print button & the printer driver?

http://www.halfbakery.com/idea/Skimpy_20Print_20Default

BTW: More ink is saved by image detection & changes than fonts. And, this is all half-baked.
That still makes no sense. Even if one tries and fails to destroy the US Pacific fleet (which, technically, is what happened) that's still an act of war, whether or not the President knew about it.

True.

But you can't really hold it against companies that are poaching. Whether or not they are friends with you because everyone in tech basically knows each other (through networks).

There seems to be a limited talent pool in specific skill sets for certain geographies. In this case, the market is in the favor of the employee, not necessarily the employer.
Man are we going to have a difficult time with self-driving cars.
> (you are using Unicorn, right? You should be!)

No, you should be using Puma.[0] Unicorn is a work of art and it is incredibly simple, but with that comes a lot of waste. Puma won't fix this problem as it lies in MRI, but you will be able to run way less processes so total memory consumption won't be such an issue.

Ruby 2.1 comes with an asterisk. It's a lot faster but you should take some time to tune the GC to your application's needs. Aman Gupta[1] has some excellent posts on his blog about how to do this. On Rails apps that I have upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1 we have seen around 25% (and up to as high as 50% in some places) decrease in response times. The GC oddities will all certainly get better in Ruby 2.2 (and maybe even in minor releases of 2.1 but I doubt it).

At any rate, Unicorn would still be better than the default Heroku server.
Yes, great work for a school project.

But realistically, not a good idea. Garamond uses less ink because it is skinnier and less readable. It's a font for young eyes, or for Apple customers (long time user of Garamond).
Android's Overblown Fragmentation Problem Revisited
I'm liking Gnome3 a bunch. Just change display managers.
That would be cool...there is some 3D Studio Max Pluggin IIRC that does a lot of pretty cool voxel destruction stuff...don't remember the name. I have thought of doing more interesting fractures though, could be a cool effect (i.e. use a voronoi point cloud to fracture a wall into several sharper pieces).
What do you dislike about BB10? All my friends that use it like it quite a bit.

I don't really understand how people can want there to be less choice in the market. We have millions of android devices. I am so glad that we still have competition, even if they're losing ground.
This is really great! One comment I would have is that it'd be great if you had more educational materials.

Your site eases entry into this type of investing for folks that might technically fall under the accredited investor umbrella but never have taken advantage of that fact, and don't know the in's and out's of real estate investing. For example, the deal structure for a particular offering has a really brief description in the mouseover text, but I couldn't find it explained anywhere in detail.
I will certainly give you "very rarely", but you can also make photopolymer plates of a digital file, and then print it using letterpress printing. That's how I did my wedding invitations. Unfortunately, the font I used didn't have ink traps.
There is a very big reason.

Android is a time-shared monolithic kernel.

QNX is a Real-Time Microkernel.

So you want to pay people to maintain 2 different kernels, for the exact same hardware, at the exact same company? When the primary customer of your phones are only interested in mobile email?

I loved it though. So much fun!
Lots of discussion already but I wanted to throw "patents" out there as that's what it made me think of first. You can patent game mechanics to protect them (to a certain extent). Is it possible to be against patents (as many geeks seem to be) while also being against people ripping off game mechanics? If so, how?
Because the threading system in JRuby is not very friendly, it is a trade-off worth considering though
> If you print, then print in a way that saves ink / toner. Why not? How could the Federal Government possibly object?

Because there are other considerations with print besides ink/toner costs of printing. Like readability (including readability in the presence of real-world printing errors, since that means less chance of extra prints being made at additional cost.)
