I had a chance to play this game at California Extreme last year. There were about 16 controllers hooked up, and most were full at any given time. Very fun, and extremely chaotic.
It's probably one of the most interesting of the couch multiplayer games coming out right now - Samurai Gunn, Divekick, Sportsfriends and the like. There's a bigger difference between 2v2 and 8v8 multiplayer than you would think, and that dynamic is really multiplied when you're all in one physical location. That said I worry about the viability of these games because it's so hard to get a group of that size together in the absence of arcades. I bet they could get really big at college dorms, though. I know the Wii still does very well in dorms because of Smash Bros. and Mario Kart, which have similar optimal player configurations.
Absolutely agree! For what it's worth: though I have received an unfavorable reference at least once in my career, I've never actually given one.

"Correct. China is mostly a closed countries for Chinese only. As a foreigner, the glass ceiling is clearly visible."

Hmm I am curious if you actually have nonzero interest in naturalizing into Chinese citizenship. I think it is not impossible to do so and at least in the past the locals would be rather proud if you do have such an interest. Not that I think citizenship should be prerequisite for business success but I do believe it reasonable that you need to demonstrate that your loyalty lies with the locals before you are considered one of them. Naturalization into US citizenship does require a loyalty oath in case you don't know.

Lots of things can be done. Will they, should they, and is there a percentage in it, are the relevant questions.

I'm not an aviation engineer. I'm aware that electrically powered turbines (ducted fans) are possible, and that they're used on some RC-controlled model aircraft (as well as actual fuel-fired gas turbines). My understanding is that they have much lower efficiency than props.

Given the already unfavorable energy, weight, and storage characteristics of aircraft, I'd think that efficiency would win over speed in most cases.

My error then. I'd checked and thought Metro was associated with Win 7. I've used Windows so rarely in the past decade I'm not familiar with the specifics of which UI goes with which release. Though now that I think about it, I've seen Win 7 and it's more similar to the Win XP interface.

> Hmm I am curious if you actually have nonzero interest in naturalizing into Chinese citizenship.

The chances of me even getting a green card are very low. It is almost unheard of for a foreigner to naturalize, and when it happens, almost the president has to intervene.

Also, China doesn't support dual citizenship like the states does. So becoming a Chinese citizen means renouncing your US citizenship.

BTW, plenty of Chinese business leaders (in China) are US citizens or US greencard holders. Many have exit plans for if things go badly in China (good guangxi doesn't always last forever), and they have their kids already in the states or Europe warming up houses for that possibility.
Thank you very much for your suggestion. I will try i3 in a few days -- once I know what ratpoison's and StumpWM's annoyances and strengths are.

Update: I lied. i3 looked too good to wait for so I tried it, and it feels a lot more natural. I'm quite certain this will be it!

Feedback Needed for New API Feature: App Notebooks
Problem I've see is DevOps isn't seen as a specific role encompassing the areas you lay out. Instead a lot of companies are adding it on as a skill set requirement for those doing other aspects of engineering.

To put it simply, devops is a function of a job rather than core to a job for many companies.

"We do devops" means - you write the code and do administration as well. When the required skills sets dont always overlap.

Since no one has said so yet, and I quickly searched the comments, the answer is basically a language called Nimrod.

It shows up here a lot, and not many people use it still. Time will tell.
> Most people won't notice or won't

Oh they will, they will. But you will never hear them say "man, this app sucks, cause it is hybrid, I wish they did it all native"—because they don't know the difference in the technologies. But they do know the difference in experience.
I Wonder how many people are actually 'for' this. It seems those against it should far outweigh those in favour.
I know your passion is Yoga, but it seems that your model would work with many types of fitness and health professionals (pilates instructors, personal trainers, massage therapists, etc.) and maybe even broader with other service professionals.

It may be risky if you feel you have tapped into a very dedicated niche of users, but increasing your scope (and ability to scale) may make you more attractive to investors and other accelerators. Good Luck!

I find it telling that so many people are so irked by the change in the nomenclature of ops. There are many people and businesses who have set their stall out to be transformative agents in operations, moving from old ops to devops.

But the problem is that devops has gone from being aspirational for many to the de facto for many.

It's the post devops world. There is no devops anymore, just ops.

> EDIT: looks like 4.13.1 will also have a check box to disable Baloo!

FINALLY. Thanks for digging this up. Having no means of presently disabling it through the UI seems unnecessarily user-hostile.

> Baloo had decided that it would index all of my data files which are huge (multiple GB) which was going poorly for it and for me.

As I mentioned in my previous comment, Baloo seemed to happily go about its business indexing precisely everything I told it not to, even to the extent of ignoring child directories of those I specified in the ignored directory list. I suspect that was a bug, but considering the suggestion in lieu of a button to disable the feature was "just add your home directory and it'll do the right thing" (which didn't work) is counter productive.

Sigh.

I can understand being excited about a new feature and (possibly) being one of its only proponents, and occasionally something good surfaces from such thankless chores. But I sometimes have to wonder what the motivation is to staunchly defend decisions that seem rather... myopic. Ordinarily I wouldn't care, but pounding the heck out of partitions and NFS mounts to do something that I can do quickly and simply with grep and find is just insanity.

On the other hand, now I understand why xapian-core is listed as a dependency.

If native development is slow compared to the HTML, you are doing something horribly wrong.
That's the way we do it in production and it works great. Why create fat jar files and copy them to dozens of servers when you can just have each server pull down its dependencies from your repository.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say. I'm not talking about or supporting lying. I'm saying an employer needs to be professional when providing a reference.

If you cannot be professional about it and understand that context is very difficult to convey over the phone with somebody you don't know then let HR handle it and at least be upfront that you aren't going to provide a good reference.

Oh man, these sorts of things are my favourite kinds of games. I love any sort of esport level multiplayer, but I also love the amount of fun that local multiplayer games can bring (Bomberman, Nidhogg, Smash Bros. etc).

I'd be interested to know the rules in detail. A quick google hasn't turned up anything though...
This is not something I reasoned out in my bedroom. It is knowledge passed on from someone to me who learned it from someone else and then reinforced during my own experience. The next time you see some outdoor furniture, picnic table, adirondack chair, etc take a peak at the feet. Then give it a wiggle and for bonus points pick it up and move/rotate it five or six inches. The obvious answer is that the smaller leg means that you you do not need to find as large of a flat area for the leg to stand on. It means that the leg can rest inside of a little divot on your lawn. In addition to reducing wobble it makes it less likely that someone stubs their toe and trips on the corner, but I am less sold on that one.

More importantly, it is just wood, go try it yourself. If you don't have the saw blade on a SAK/leatherman and a piece of scrap wood try scissors and a spaghetti box or a couple of pieces cardboard taped together. "Learning" something from a comment by that ornery dude on HN is not the same thing as seeing it in practice.
"Also, China doesn't support dual citizenship like the states does. So becoming a Chinese citizen means renouncing your US citizenship."

That is incorrect. Becoming a US citizen means renouncing your native citizenship as well. The only exception is if you were born into dual citizenships in which case you don't need naturalization at all.

The "X button" could be a button to help him react properly. I know he is a world class driver, but when something unforeseen happens, all people react instinctively, rather than consciously. A way to combat this is to train a movement, like slamming the foot in the footrest, or pressing a button. It buys you that fraction of a second to assess the situation and act consciously, rather than just react.
It has not been mentioned in the original post or the comments yet, so here is a working prototype of a similar idea https://github.com/pfultz2/Pythy (for some specific value of working, you will need Clang)

Wouldn't that more or less be the Immediate Window that Visual Studio already has? Other than the multiple lines you mention. :)

I took a look at this to see if it can replace LinqPad, which is similar. LinqPad allows for more than C# alone (VB.net, SQL, C# and F#) but it has no code completion (unless you buy it) which CShell does have.

This seems like a useful tool!
I've been using their streaming app since it was released and it's fantastic. It puts the others to shame IMO. I'd been using Spotify for about 4 years before Beats. The volume and quality of playlists they have created is amazing and the app design is quite nice. I find it great for discovering new music (and you still have the option to search the catalog too).

I'm terminating my Sky account over this today. At no point is this in my interest as a customer. They took £750000 to voluntarily violate my privacy.

They obviously will have to develop a heuristic for suspicion and store suspects somewhere. If that list becomes available by accident or court order then it puts people at litigation risk. Unfortunately despite guarantees supposedly mandated by law, if you're confronted with a case then you're screwed either with respect to costs or defense.

I would suggest people start moving to Andrews and Arnold or a similar smaller ISP immediately.

This isn't exactly correct, dual citizenship in the US is a bit weird, but you can totally naturalize into US citizenship without giving up your existing one (unless you are chinese, but that problem comes from China):

> Based on the U.S. Department of State regulation on dual citizenship (7 FAM 1162), the Supreme Court of the United States has stated that dual citizenship is a "status long recognized in the law" and that "a person may have and exercise rights of nationality in two countries and be subject to the responsibilities of both. The mere fact he asserts the rights of one citizenship does not without more mean that he renounces the other", (Kawakita v. U.S., 343 U.S. 717) (1952). In Schneider v. Rusk 377 U.S. 163 (1964), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a naturalized U.S. citizen has the right to return to his native country and to resume his former citizenship, and also to remain a U.S. citizen even if he never returns to the United States.

US citizens naturalizing out, on the other hand, can lose their citizenship:

> The U.S. citizen may lose his dual citizenship by obtaining naturalization in a foreign state, taking an oath or making an affirmation or other formal declaration of allegiance to a foreign state or political subdivision thereof, or serving in the armed forces of a foreign state if this action was performed with the intention of renouncing U.S. citizenship.[27]

But in practice they don't:

> Current U.S. State Department rules presume that an individual does not intend to give up citizenship when performing one of the above potentially expatriating acts. If asked, the individual can always answer that they did not intend to give it up; this is sufficient to retain their citizenship.[38] Hence, the U.S. effectively allows citizens to acquire new citizenships while remaining a U.S. citizen, becoming a dual citizen.

> I really hate that whenever someone makes a proposal for a language, the zealots, be they lisp or C++ or whatever, immediately come out of the woodwork to heap scorn upon the idea.

I often wonder if contrarianism is so prevalent in community discussions simply for the sake of disagreement or to provoke negative emotion. It's completely counter to constructive criticism.

Although to be fair, there are some comments to the contrary that at least make a passing effort to explain what they don't like about the suggestion and why they dislike whitespace languages in general, so I can't tar everyone with the same brush.

That said, considering some of the outright vitriol, I almost feel like someone ought to implement it on principle alone.
The comments in this thread are similar to the comments in any Facebook related post on HN. Arrogant. People who likely haven't used the product for more than a few minutes have a concrete opinion on it. You may think Beats suck but they sell $500m of headphones per year. People clearly like the sound they produce even if you think it's shit and overpriced.

Oh, then it's much more of a management problem.

There's plenty of technical solutions already, you may just want a little glue with good ux design, fast internet, and good support staff, especially for the elderly.

In this example, someone setup a relationship between a retirement home and an English learning school. Outside of that, it would probably turn into a chatroulete.
By far the single most effective solution to dramatically slow down piracy is to make all content available globally for reasonable prices, for a digital "watch at home" copy", that has none of the costs of something like a cinema ticket, and benefits from large economies of scale (especially if the content is distributed P2P, and not many central servers are needed, other than keeping a seed on all content at all time).

This education thing won't do much to turn people away from piracy. If threat of prison or bankruptcy-inducing fines didn't, then neither will this, especially when there's little to educate them about when the content people want isn't actually available in their countries and soon after coming out.

Hollywood is its own biggest problem.

As Square Struggles, European Rival iZettle Takes Another $55.5M In Funding
Got into StumpWM about two months ago after living in tmux and emacsclient all day. Now I have a super minimalist desktop, all the key shortcuts I need (and mouse like I need, where as ratposion makes it a little too difficult), on the fly restart and command reload, Lisp, and oh my god so much flexibility.

Before that, I used XFCE. I have realized there is always another level of minimalism down from where you were before in Linux, until you hit the Linux console. But I love StumpWM. They might say it is not minimalist, but it is for me and it rocks my world.

I am going to hit submit and then hit a shortcut to open running term emulator and find my running mutt instance in tmux. Later full DE users.

Yes I because:

1. They actively monitor your connection to be able to determine whether or not you have "infringed". This has non legitimate utility.

2. They are building a mailing database which whilst is under a mild agreement may in the future be made available under different terms.

So this is not a win, it's a tragic first step towards what we don't want.
