Haha, yeah, I can see where you're coming from. The game really is meant to be bullshit and to hurt you. From what I've seen though, Bloodborne has a lot less bullshit mechanics-wise than the previous games. Just look at the Capra Demon fight from Dark Souls: small room with pillars all over, one huge boss and two attack dogs crammed in there with you. Your weapons bounce back when you hit the geometry; theirs don't. Have fun. Also: The Archers in Anor Londo.

For me though, that's part of what makes it special. It wouldn't feel so good actually getting past the obstacles if it was fair.

How are you doing HLR lookups for numbers in vodafone range in the UK? I thought companies were barred from sharing this information? Apparently txtnation is not allowed to do this. Not sure how current this blog post is.

https://clients.txtnation.com/entries/21436098-HLR-Lookup-Ov...

'The UK is an unusual country as far as number portability is concerned. There is no central number administration database, and Vodafone UK prevent HLR Lookups to all parties. Hence, we currently fully resolve all UK mobile numbers except Vodafone ported out. - If you query a Vodafone number our Gateway responds based on number range info. - If the Vodafone number has been ported out, our Gateway response will still come up as a Vodafone number. - If a number has been ported in to Vodafone, our Gateway response will be correct. NOTE: Vodafone UK is only reachable with the NPLU, it is still blocked with RTLU. To be more accurate, it's blocked if the number range belongs to Vodafone.'

> but in the end you'll learn how to use regexes and parser generators.

In my experience, most production compilers and interpreters use handwritten parsers, not regexes and parser generators. The latter is usually confined to small DSLs and toy compilers because things like error reporting and recovery is usually a nightmare with parser generators.

I don't agree the tonenizer and parser bit is "boring", but they are extremely well covered compared to subjects like code generation, though.

> Usenet is a wonderful example of just how powerful it is.

Usenet suffered from some a similar problem to domain names: everything started creeping into the "alt" top-level because it was the popular top-level free-for-all.

And the usefulness of the classification for humans was debatable since every topic could be found in multiple locations and some, like rec.arts.tv and alt.tv, rapidly ended up dwarfing entire top level categories like humanities.

I rarely see working (as in usable, encrypted and not total rip-offs) hotspots in Germany. Anywhere.

Not in Cologne (~1 million) nor Dortmund/Bochum (part of the 'Ruhrgebiet' metropolitan area, which Wikipedia estimates includes about 12 million people).

Guess not a first-world country?

We're probably on the same side: I would NEVER go for a Chromebook. Always online is stupid. Mobile sucks on trains here, so forget about data on the move. Hotspots don't exist. There are still lots of places that I visit that have little to no usable data connectivity.

I have no clue what the Chromebook is for, but it would be a giant failure in my circles and my environment.

Depending on the language and stack you choose, a text editor with a terminal and a REPL may be all you need. I spend most of my day switching between emacs, a terminal and a browser.
Here's how I got my first clients:

1. At university there was a billboard for people looking for developers.

2. Responded to everyone, with a ridiculously low price of $25.

3. Completed first job with flying colors. Collect glowing reference.

4. Stitch up reference on to personal website.

5. Hike price by 50%, find next client.

6. Rinse and repeat.

I got up to $100 per hour for some clients[1], or $450 per day for other clients, before I finally found a full time developer job.

I'm glad I did this freelancing thing because my company knows I can walk any time and make 6-figures on my own.

I still get pinged by my former clients about new projects and refer them to friends.

[1] (I was offered $115 one time but I felt that was too much of a raise - I priced myself at the highest possible rate where I am certain I will receive a glowing reference. And glowing references means raises.)

P.S. I read patio11 and tptacek's advice at the time it was very useful.

I was addicted to coffee the same way - averaging 5-7 cups a day with the random shot of espresso here and there. Couple weeks ago I dropped down to 1 cup a day and I've stuck with it. I feel better because of it and the afternoon crash doesn't come anymore.

The few times I craved coffee in the afternoon I've replaced it with some kind of tea (what ever I have on hand in Keurig form or from Starbucks) - It's helped.

I'm a pretty bad player (mostly playing with my 7yo son), and I totally agree about the blunders thing. The most effective way to learn how to avoid them IMO is to play a lot against good algorithms - that might not play hard tactically at the easier setting, but never make stupid moves or fail to detect my own stupid mistakes. You can't win these games by lucking out :)

Not all computer chess programs behave like this, some of them, at the easier levels make stupid mistakes, or don't take advantage of my own oversights. I try to avoid these. Playing against other amateur players that don't always take full advantage of your stupid mistakes doesn't train you well enough for this.
With Shen you can use them when you want. So you can create things fast and add types / tests / proofs when you want and when it seems prudent.

I'll add a mention here in favour of marking spots, all the time, even if the spots are over-sized. I recently used a car-sharing (Mercedes/SMART fortwo vehicle) service, and parked the car reasonably, let's say 40cm front and rear. Close, but fair. Between the time I left the car, and someone being "parked in", someone had left, leaving a space, where someone had then parked nearly touching the car I left, subsequently in the now tiny space behind the new parker, someone else parked, too close. The middle parker unable to extricate their vehicle called the police reported my car as the offender "it was nearly touching my bumper, I can't get out" leading to €370 fees from the police for towing the shared car I had used (although, a call to the provider would have rendered it unlocked and drivable), and a further €120 in fees from the car sharing service provider.

I now take a photograph of my car (or rented shared cars) in all parking situations, in the hope that evidence that "i was there first" might mean I am not subject to accusations of offensive parking when over-eager city-dwellers park in spaces that are really too small, and later find themselves blocked in.

If you find the combat system annoying to the point where you lose interest in the game I would recommend watching the walkthrough/lore videos by EpicNameBro and study how he approaches combat.

The combat system can be VERY punishing if you don't pace yourself correctly or attack when you should defend. You don't really need to go slow, but you can't really play it like other games either.

Imho Bloodborne does not use "cheesy mechanics". For example, enemies don't pop behind you, they just ambush you (look above you / in side alleys). Once you get used to the system the camera is rarely an issue, damage is very predictable and healing is not random. Exploring is also generously rewarded and there are usually significant shortcuts you can unlock to reach bosses.

Also, try out other weapons. Perhaps the Threaded Cane is not a good match for you.

I realize the game is neither perfect nor for everyone. I just hope you'll try it a bit more! :D

> how are the JSON web tokens typically authenticated if not via a database?

They are signed with a private key (e.g. a secret random 32-bytes kept by the server) when they are issued. Revocation is typically based on an expiration time, hence the timestamp in the header.

The JWT libraries in this case failed their basic premise, that is, to verifying the signature. An unsigned token which contains trusted data is just an open door for the user to claim whatever they want.

The centralized session model is easier to reason about, but has many pitfalls. Now all your servers need to be able to contact that centralized state in order to service even a basic request. HMAC is very fast, much faster than pulling central state from a network service. If you're asking a client to maintain a session token, might as well ask them to maintain the session state itself if it's small enough to fit in a cookie.

I would guess the reason for any downvote is the question you're asking is directly addressed by TFA, so it strongly implies you didn't bother to read it.
You are dead wrong.

My last workplace had private individual offices for developers. My office was big enough to have two people working together in it full time, and big enough to have 4 people in it comfortably for 2-3 hours.

With that in mind let's talk about communication. There are a few different types of frequent office communication. Let's compare an open office with private offices for each of them.

1) a coworker is blocked and can either spend 10-15 minutes figuring out the issue on their own or can ask you to get an immediate answer.

In the open office he will usually ask you and pull you out of focus. This has a large negative impact on productivity when it happens throughout the day. In a private office scenario he works it out himself. His problem solving skills increase, and you stay productive. Big win for private offices.

2) a coworker is blocked and it will take her a day or two to work it out herself or she can ask and you can tell her the solution immediately.

In the open office she will ask immediately and you save two days at the cost of impacting you for 30 mins. Winning. In a private office she will struggle for 15-30 mins, make no progress, and then walk over to interrupt you. The open office scores a small win here.

3) a coworker is not blocked and you know the solution.

In an open office they will interrupt you. In a private office workplace they will send an email/IM and you can respond asynchronously without impacting focus. Big win for private office.

4) a coworker needs to work closely with you for an extended period (30 mins+).

In an open office you either hunt for a meeting room, or because that's usually a pain, you talk at your desks. This either holds up shared resources (meeting room) or disturbs everyone (talking at desk) so you keep the conversation/collaboration short. If you have a private office you can speak without worry leading to more collaboration. Another big win for private offices.

There are a few other common scenarios in the workplace but I think I have made my point. 1, 3, and 4 are more common and are big wins for better communication in private offices and only come at the small cost mentioned in 2.

What measurement would you use instead to represent the amount of climbing involved in a route?

The main issue I have with this "total climb" measurement is that it appears to depend on the "sampling frequency" - the closer together the points you sample the altitude of, the more rough the surface appears, and thus the more ups (and downs) to contribute to the measurement. It adds up, so the measurement isn't very meaningful without mentioning the sampling frequency used. Maximum altitude difference might be a bit better.

Yes. You try doing 60,000 step-ups and report back how easy that was.

I'm not saying it's easy, but this...

/\/\/\/\/\/\

...would be easier than this...

...and easier than this

or even this

despite them all having the same "total climb". To take this to the extreme, consider a surface that varies up and down by 1 inch every inch. Run 60,000 feet on this surface, and you'll have achieved "60,000 feet of total climb."
