I love the design of their web app, but it's just as unusable to me as their iOS app is. Sometimes typing in an address works fine, but other times (such as my home address), it bafflingly shows me a list of possible addresses that aren't the thing I just typed.

I understand as a programmer why that is (using Foursquare's venue API instead of doing any geocoding of their own) but it still makes it completely unusable, which I find sad since it has so many other great features and tiny polish details.

I guess also of note is that in the USA, minimum wage is not a livable wage and would likely put the employee close to the poverty line even for a full-time hourly job (which is often not given because then the employer would be required to provide health insurance).

Is that the case where you live?
It will be tricky to incorporate the fanbase because there's a huge split in UT fans about the high-speed pace of UT2k4 vs. the slower, spammier gameplay of classic UT. UT3 attempted to split the difference and was universally reviled.

Still, this is super-exciting and I hope the best for them. The classic FPS genre has needed this for years.
Windows is (or at least was) a dog when it comes to this even if the files are in the cache. Like barrkel said, the number I quoted was for the case when the OS doesn't hit the drive.
Thanks for the link. We also have an in-house solution like fastclick.

The hard part about this is tracking down the long tail of failures, particularly when they affect devices you don't have access to like the Samsung phones I mentioned above. It means we cannot make any changes to the code we already have without risking breaking some users who currently work (and rely on our app; as separate from the users for whom the app has never worked).

In "Common Mistake #2", I'd say that the mistake is fairly obvious to anyone who understands even a little bit about OOP and inheritance. Since class C doesn't define its own variable x, it has to be that it inherits the x in class A, so there's no reason to be surprised that C.x changes when A.x does.
They're still milking it though.. :( Remember UO shards? I don't remember origin taking them too kindly.

Are you kidding me? This article isn't even about formalizing non-boolean logic. It's thinly veiled religious propaganda, artificially ascribing mathematical formality to a mystical religion.

And yes, statements are either true or false. If you can't say a statement will be either true or false (you don't have to know which one), the statement is ill-defined. Non-binary logical systems are useful only insofar as they allow us to model uncertainty, not because they reflect the nature of reality.

The difference is that authentication was expected here. If you don't get authentication when it was expected and asked for that should be a red flag that something is amiss.

After finishing the Warcraft III single-player campaign I played 2 vanilla online games before discovering the tower defense "mods"/maps in the custom ladder. For 3-4 years the only game I played was various custom maps in Warcraft 3. It certainly added years of gameplay to the game. It even gave birth to an entire new genre with DOTA.

I'm very exited to see what this will bring us, although I don't know what I think about the idea of payed mods...

Yeah, the technology has been around for a while, but there were a lot of limiting factors (there may still be) for pulling somethings off that might be worth revisiting now.

We threw around some wild-ass guesses as to the numbers in the office, and came up with the idea that it's probably a bit better to be a Lyft+ driver than a Lyft driver, assuming (and this is a big if) that Lyft can deliver you a similar volume of rides.

The big thing is that this Ford Explorer is probably not a lot more expensive than a Prius is. Priuses tend to cost about $30,000 all in. Ford Explorers start at $30,000. Assume $10,000 in after-market add-ons, but then assume that Lyft negotiates your base price down to $25,000 because they're buying a bunch of them, you're only an additional $5,000 in the hole compared to a Prius. Gas is twice what a Prius owner pays.

And they're charging twice what Lyft ordinarily costs.

So, basically, if they can deliver the same number of rides, your gross is twice as high, your costs are something on the order of twice as high or actually a bit less than that, means that your take-home pay is probably about 150% what a normal Lyft driver makes.

Again, the big if here is whether you are in fact getting the same volume of rides that the downmarket offering is. And the question there is how much supply Lyft wants to put on the road. Are they willing to have more failed rides in order to support their drivers' incomes? Is the demand for a Lyft premium option there at all? Alternately, is the demand really high and you're going to be surging (yeah, yeah: "prime time tipping") more often and making a higher gross? Nobody knows right now.

Disclaimer: I work for Flywheel, a Lyft competitor.
The function is continuous. The cumulative effect of the sum after the nth item are bounded by a [-2^-n, 2^-n] offset, and varies very slowly as x is changed (the argument to cos is divided by increasingly huge factors). I haven't done an explicit epsilon-delta proof, but I'm confident I could make one work by using those two facts.

So I don't expect to be able to show lack of Riemann-integrable-ness via that route. ... I just don't think it has an antiderivative.

... wait, this makes no sense. I've made a mistake because if the function is continuous then it must have an antiderivative by the first fundamental theorem of calculus. I will have to actually do the epsilon-delta proof and find out where I made the tricky mistake. Probably something to do with that infinity...

Agreed. It seems like the "right" thing to do if you're running a personal taxi service is to buy a reliable used car in the high tens of thousands of miles, and then drive it until it dies. Buying a new car -- you'd have to make thousands of dollars more per year to justify the depreciation.
"If this kind of thinking were to get "popular," Western civilization and science would collapse into skepticism and religion would take over again."

western civilization and science hinge on how people think about stuff? i think you seriously overestimate the importance of western philosophy to western civilization. roughly speaking, nobody cares but you, and western civilization's fate is independent from what you care about.

and besides, the law of non-contradiction and the law of excluded middle are pretty common sense, yet it isn't altogether clear that religion won't take over again.
If you have the full-stack development skills to develop this on your own you may be able to beat them to market. If it is a consumer product where viral adoption can happen you might get a big enough start just by being first to market. It can be intimidating to face a team - but recall that teams have communication overhead, often multiple competing visions for the product that need to be resolved and time sucked up into numerous activities that don't directly speed product development.

If this is a product for enterprises then you are at a greater disadvantage. First to market doesn't mean as much, as all the positive reassuring signals that funding sends.

Every product category needs competitors. Even if you do not succeed at being #1 in a new product space, you also don't need the same kinds of revenue to make it work. Your expenses are much lower and your equity is much higher.

Finally, the fact that investors and a team also think this general product category has promise worthy of funding is validation that you are on the right track.

Your comment could be shortened to

Your question should be how China is blocking out other tech companies unless they are willing to share their user info or join a state-owned venture so they can learn your technology, process and know-how then push you out. You make it sound like no one from U.S. want China or other market.

The FACT TO THE MATTER is how other countries is either making it extremely difficult for U.S. tech company to enter or corrupted to hell that you have to pay out of your ass in each and every step of the way to do business with them.

and better fit the Hacker News guidelines, which strongly discourage personal insults and uncivil tone. P.S. In English, which is perhaps not your native language (in which case, welcome aboard, because we indeed need more participation here from outside the English-speaking world), the usual idiom is "the fact of the matter" rather than "the fact to the matter." And on Hacker News, we rarely use chat-speak abbreviations like "LOL" (I learned that years ago when one of my comments that used abbreviation was downvoted heavily, even though I was literally laughing out loud as I typed the comment) and we only rarely write in all-capitals for emphasis. But your point is well taken.

I presume, "... and that's mission-critical in the same way that NASA's stuff is. Therefore, the idea that you can't/shouldn't do mission-critical software in C++ is mistaken."

You're right, it's gratis. I highly doubt it'll satisfy the definition of free/open source software, as it'll (understandably) lack redistribution rights.

It's still a highly daring development model, all things considered. The concept itself is hardly new, but it's the first time an AAA developer has adopted it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
It can point to Maven dependencies that are downloaded on the first launch

You wouldn't do this for a production deployment, right? Application starup that may or may not require access to the artifact repository to complete successfully. When that idea bounces around my developer neocortex, my sysadmin hindbrain starts reaching forward to strangle it.

And if you're not going to do it in production, doing it in development means having a gratuitous difference between development and production, which, again, is something i have learned to fear.

A zip with startup scripts is OK, but it requires installation.

'gradle installApp' works out of the box, and 'installs' the jars and scripts in your build directory, which is all you need to run locally. It's work of minutes to write an fpm [1] invocation that packages the output of installApp as an operating system package, which you can then send down the pipe towards production. This is simple, easy, standard, and fully integrated with a world of existing package management tools. Why would i use Capsule instead of doing this?

Rather than downvote you, I thought I'd clear up the confusion. Yes Spring.io is the Spring Framework's website. Spring the framework is a dependency injection framework, but that's not all it does. There are other modules, like Spring Roo, Spring MVC, Spring JPA, etc that provide more than just dependency injection.
This may be a dumb question, what is the value in checking in when leaving? I might not understand the point of foursquare, I thought the check-ins were used so people could meet up with friends who were in the area.

I used Spring Boot the other day. It was really easy! Up until things just didn't work for no apparent reason, and neither the error messages nor documentation gave me any clues as to how to fix it.

App servers have historically been hard to deploy, maintain and dev against. There has been a huge amount of progress in the last few years. Based on my experience, Java EE / Wildfly is actually easier to develop with than Spring Boot.

Multi-app servers usually take much longer to launch, deploying apps and upgrading the servers is a pain, and there's a host of other issues (like not being able to easily allocate resources to apps according to their needs).

> As far as I can tell, it comes down who cares more about the settings for the server

There's a lot of truth to that. I think that the whole devops approach is that they should be the same people. Of course, you might have valid reasons for not subscribing to that approach.
I have no idea why you're getting downvoted.

It's pretty obvious the government doesn't like to tangle with big companies unless its necessary. Large corporate legal teams can drag out a fight for several years, earning the ire of state senators voting constituents, and having a negative effect on their re-election possibilities.

It is amazing how tangled men can get in their own thoughts and words. The concept of ineffable is nonsense from the outset. By the definition given, if something were truly ineffable, not a word has been spoken about it. What is being contorted here is the difference between the limitations of words to describe an experience, which is the Buddhist ineffable, and the idea of the unassailable noumena, which is the Reality that might be outside of any experience we can have. There is also nothing mysterious or limiting about Western logic. A statement is either true or false; or it is a contradiction (which generally means a premise was false), or indeterminate (which simply means that no one knows which it is).
> I'd enable that setting and I imagine lots of others would

I absolutely would - I run a few sites under Cloudflare.

Instead of slowing down the traffic coming from the FCC (which is likely to be small), I'd recommend throttling by geography. For example, Comcast is based in Philadelphia (they already own the tallest building in Philadelphia[0], and are building another even larger one[0]).

I imagine (e.g.) the denizens of Philadelphia would become a lot more vocal in their support for net neutrality with their elected officials if they started getting throttled.

You could say that it's unfair to pick on Philadelphians when they haven't done anything wrong themselves. I'd agree, but on the other hand, that's what makes this so effective - it shows people how unjust and unfair the concept of content-based throttling is.

It reminds me of Dan Savage's response to a poor woman who happened to share a last name with Rick Santorum, and wrote to him asking him to stop dragging her name through the mud[2], as she was only distantly related to him. His response was something along the lines of, "Instead of writing to me asking me to stop, write to him and ask him to stop being a bigot and tarnishing your name".

UT3 was reviled because it was designed for both consoles and PCs, so everything was a compromise - sort of the windows 8 of the UT series.

I know what you mean about the split, but as someone who loves both series I think either way will lead to a great game. I personally think the faster-style would be more successful because the series as a whole has always leaned more towards a arcadey/tactical style than a simulation/strategy style.
