One of the reasons their games sell so well is because of the mod support. People are willing to pay lots of money for Bethesda games because they know they can have fun with them for years, on account of all the mods.

Ask HN: What questions you ask interviewing mid-senior front-end devs?
Do you expect your people to know all/most of the hot recent frameworks & tools or you prefer them to have the deeper knowledge of the underlying principles? How do you distinguish good and experienced developers from the mediocre ones?
Indeed.

If Blendle continues to be successful this could get very interesting though. As described in the article linked here, it's a great metric. And their publishers will also start to use their metric. So -while they now describe the Blendle-revenue as an extra- this will actually change the way we deal with the 'print' data which is now accessible online, creating a new dynamic. This will surely have an impact on the print version of these magazines as well, I can imagine, making Blendle a content driver(shaper?) and not 'just' a source of 'extra revenue' as they tend to see it now.

If it all takes off impact will, imho, be different than we can probably predict now, even though we can make some estimates of possible directions. Some people will be happier with the results after -say- five years than others.

Valve provides hosting, advertising, support, billing etc. Bathesda is essentially providing licensing for the ip and taking a risk they you mod won't harm their product or users, also a little bit of plain old capitalism.

Frankly, that's a cop out, because you'd be insane to vote for the politician based on his/her opinions on taxi regulation laws. Our political systems simply don't allow real choice.

So, no, we can't.

But as with previous work on C -> Java translation, none of the tools actually really worked completely.

Based on that experience I can say it would be quite a big effort to write a Java -> C translator. But not impossible.

The main problem being undefined behaviour that is actually undefined and varies from compiler to compiler!
Everyone will be different ... but my experience was that when I went to apply my statistical skills to securities trading it ended up boring me. I keep thinking that it is a good idea because where else can being "correct" lead so directly to measurable spendable success. However, when I actually spent some time doing it with my own capital I just didn't find my mind really energized by the challenge. And, I found that active trading really requires time and energy commitment that a buy and hold approach doesn't. This was many years ago and the automated trading tools were too expensive for the amount of capital that I had available. Maybe today would be different. Maybe a hedge fund environment rather than solo trader would be better.
Maybe, but it's not something I'm focusing on.

The illusion of work, pretending, we are all adults here playing on a theatre, must be maintained, and nobody is allowed to step out of line. When I look at it that way, that we are just adults but playing like when small children play that they are adults, so are we playing that we are working, then it all makes sense.

I'll second this. I recently switched from permanent to contract work, and I love it. Walking out the door at 17:30 on the dot and completely forgetting about work until the next day is very liberating.

Also, you aren't involved in office politics and you can upwardly delegate any decisions that you don't want to make ("I'm afraid I'm just a contractor, you'll have to ask my manager about that).

As a developer, I really get to get my head down and work hard, which is what I most enjoy about this job.

But they already provided the platform and didn't require a cut before. That's the whole point, that this would be a net negative change from what was before. If we lived in a world where there wasn't a previous modding community and mods weren't a thing, and this was a new option to allow fans to make "non-official DLC" and sell it, then it may be more acceptable.

But given the state of the existing mod communities, doing these things for free or donations and usually out of a love of the game, normalizing an environment where Bethesda gets money for doing no additional work is going to be understandably resisted.

My anecdotal evidence against yours, I haven't experienced a single crash on my iPad(s) in three years.
Thanks for getting back to me. :)

Yeah that sucks, those were my findings as well, was hoping someone had found some unique solution. I found one solution but it's a horrible UI experience (e.g. open a web view in an app, login the user, scrape the birthdays from their FB. Technically it's not super tricky but the steps for the user just scream 'scammy', so I'm not pursuing that.)

How's the contact list experience been like? I personally only have names & phone numbers there, an occasional email address but that's it. Do many of your users have birthdays listed in their contacts, too? I personally can't imagine filling in the birthday myself when creating a contact, wondering what the typical user does.

I actually found your app some months ago while doing research on how to make it work and was wondering what your trick was. But it seems it was just built using the old API!
I'm thinking of dense Asian-style cities run on subways and enclosed walkways, not Los Angeles, and the encasings built gradually, where every air-conditioned/central-heated apartment/shopping building is part of the enclosed area. The current factories wouldn't even be included in the area that gets enclosed in the first place.

It seems more likely that various cities and countries around the world will act in self-interest by gradually enclosing more and more of their own living spaces inside air-filtered zones (including areas currently outdoors) than that governments around the world will mutually agree on and execute solutions to growing air pollution.

> and one other device from a different manufacturer running different software but with the same information, for redundancy purposes

This sounds like a great idea in theory, but as far as I know in practice isn't ideal. Problems include less familiarity with the second system/more training time required, issues with the second system may not be discovered since it's used less, and less incentive to get the first system right in the first place.

What would perhaps be better is a backup running a previous software version, maybe.

Well Designed Websites from Startups
Terrible name for the company. Initially I thought it was a pun on 'bitcoin'(because they added a character to it).
Only in the form of translating and running dozens of C applications (programs and libraries) and running their testsuites. E.g. libcurl comes with a great extensive testsuite (a perl script running against the binary).

Translated applications still need to be thoroughly tested and usually some bugs are still found.

So we didn't formalize and verify our translation. Interestingly enough, we run into bugs in javac and ecj (Eclipse Java Compiler) surprisingly often. So verifying our translation would still lead to translations with bugs ;-)

Another fun fact: Since our translation knows the limits of allocated memory (and many other things), we found many illegal memory accesses in C programs that were unknown before (libgmp, micro httpd, vim, ...) since they didn't (or only very seldomly) lead to segfaults.

Go would hugely benefit from a hierarchical /.go in $GOPATH. This would allow for a robust versioning scheme, and allow the language to scale in the future.
Startups can (but not always are) be just as rough for expecting crazy outputs, because they belief they have nothing, can lose everything at every time, pivots and changes happening all the time, lack of process. The "using the mail/chat client to see if people are 'working'" thing, etc. I prefer more established startups and companies for this reason, but I think they can have most of the same traits, at times, as consultancies as mentioned in this article.

If you're looking for something similar but want it massively simplified you can use Put.io

http://put.io

Basically you can copy and paste a magnet link for a torrent (please use legal torrents only) and Put.io downloads that torrent to your 'drive'.

You can then either stream directly in your browser or download the file. You can also transcode to .mp4 (a format that works on most devices) with a single click.

Streaming works perfectly on my computer, ipad, iphone, PS4 and even my Nintendo Wii U. You just browse to the site and open your file.

The thing I like most about Put.io is that if someone has that file downloaded already, it will copy it over to your drive instantly. Meaning popular legal torrents will 'download' instantaneously and you don't have to wait for it to download.

Teaching people how to write malware for Macs
I agree maybe not the best example, but it illustrates about problems than can come up from combining services in the market. Hypothetically if steam was _just_ a package manager and the mods payed to for the convenience of users to install it. It shouldn't matter about the content.

Maybe a better example is Red Alert 2, I still occasionally LAN play that and there's a community patch to replace the IPX stack with TCP/IP so it can still work. as IPX is completely gone from windows 8+ I think.
I think I'll stick to using submodules and a Makefile with GOPATH set to the vendor directory. Hasn't failed me yet.
This doesn't seem to be aimed at people for whom quality is important (hint hint), otherwise yes it's probably better to go buy the track.
