My wife and I play RPS to determine who does things like change a diaper when we're out and about and stuff. We tie a lot. Far, far more than chance would dictate. We can tie for 10 in a row, quite easily, and before you jump up about how this can happen by chance, we tie in sequences a lot, not just 1/3^10 times. We're trying to second guess each other.

Since humans are bad at random, "just play randomly" doesn't really work; humans don't have access to "random" to play that way. So you often do get into the sorts of strategies you mention, to compensate for this.

Besides, it's more fun this way.
That's the household median. When you combine/compare the data in [1] and [2] that median makes sense when you consider two income households. The individual median is around half that value (fits in the $25,000-27,999 bracket somewhere, assuming a uniform distribution across that range it'd be around $26,500).

This recent high-profile case has been thrown out because nobody that legal aid is willing to pay (for the defendants) for is capable of handling it. Even the first step, "read 10,000 pages of documents", is not affordable since the legal aid cuts.

The only reason that sharks can pretend to be fish is that there is real fish out there, that make it an expected win to deviate from nash equilibrium. The fish are not a property of the game, but rather a property of the playerbase.

"Rock-paper-fool goes like this. First a coin if flipped without you seeing If tails, you face a fool npc, who will play according to..., if head, you face a (homo economicus) player"

You could then try to analyze the equilibria of this game.
(another attorney here)

Tweets aren't under oath or anything, but it opens up Carmack to lots of questions and possibly affects his credibility.

Often times cases come down to "he said / she said" types of claims and how a jury views them.

If ZeniMax mentions the tweets in court, it will likely be to try and make Carmack look like he acted out of hand, and that he rushed to make claims that arne't true (i.e. the IP / code distinction the poster makes).

Here's the thing about software suits. Most judges / juries are in a TERRIBLE position when it comes to evaluating the nuance involved in a suit like this. Think about the average person and how much they understand about what you do.

Lawyers will try to boil it down to themes and narratives that portray you as "bad." "Winning" in terms of how you evaluate claims or the press or your followers evaluate claims does not matter. It's all about how the lawyers convince a judge or jury you are wrong.

How will the exiting libraries handle that? Would they be able to store the whole "value objects" instead of just pointers to them?

That being said, not being Java programmer, I'd like to know what's the state of the libraries now? Do libraries handle the collections of the primitive types and the collections of the objects differently now, using the most efficient infrastructure, or is it something that you have to select as the programmer manually even now on case-by-case basis?

From the article, under "open questions":

Generics over values. It is persistent irritant that generics do not work over primitive types today. With value types, this irritation will increase dramatically; not being able to describe List<Point> would be even worse. Still worse would be having it mean “today’s list, containing boxed points”. Supporting generics over primitives and values, through specialization, is the topic of a separate investigation.

The need for boxing/unboxing is for me one of the most common sources of facepalm in Java. I guess it's difficult to fix without breaking existing code (I guess that a new implementation of generics may not break java code, but it would break existing bytecode), but it's really annoying.

Why did Japan surrender? .. not Hiroshima and Nagasaki (2011)
> Does that mean these whitelistings only apply to pages in a Google subdomain

Yes, the top-most left-most box is for choosing where the rules apply, I call it the scope selector.

"" = global scope

".example.com" = any web page which sits on 'example.com' or a subdomain of 'example.com'

"example.com" = any web page which sits exactly on 'example.com'

If multiple scopes exist for a given web page, the most narrow one is used. Also, scopes are really sandboxes, there is no inheritance of rules across scopes (trying to implement this is opening a can of worms both on usability and code-wise).

There are two ways to interpret the lecture.

- Whatever you work on, should be really great, otherwise why are you doing it?

I find the second take more personally relevant. Even if I'm not on par with Feynman, Turing, Von Neumann... I still should try weird things courageously.
Ask HN: How do you setup Mysql HA during the first phase of your startup?

How would you deal with MySQL HA during this phase of the company? What are some good best practices?

> What is Bloomberg's motivation for sponsoring browser feature development?

Our motivation is that we have a massive custom server-side JS deployment that powers the platform for the Bloomberg Professional Service (a.k.a. "Terminal"). We use both spidermonkey and v8 in custom environments, so getting ES6 (and beyond) language features in the engines as fast as possible helps the 2,000+ developers building the platform every day. So what benefits us, benefits the web since we use engines that cut across multiple browsers. We also have a bunch of web properties, so obviously those teams are thrilled that we help move the needle a bit as well.

> How does Bloomberg prioritize what they would like to fund?

Prioritizing the features that Igalia works on falls out of discussions between my team and Igalia to see where their development effort can be most effective to get what helps our developers the most. We really, really wanted generators across the board so that we could use generators and promises to help how we address async control flow. We have internal JS frameworks that use certain features that are not too common in the web and sometimes are not as optimized/JITed as earlier APIs. It's a two-way conversation with Igalia to find out how we can make the most impact.

We do some of our own contributions to these projects as well, but the model we have with Igalia works amazingly well because they aren't distracted by the other development that my team is currently involved in.

If you can have one thread per transaction then you can avoid event loops. If you cannot then you will need to write an event loop. In the systems I work with, the transactions are long held (months) and high in number (millions). Unless we went with a language that had lightweight threads we have to use event polling. Rewriting in Erlang would come with different problems...

There are architectural benefits to event loops too. You get built in interception and if your code is free of side effects cheaper redundancy.
