I meant to imply that they (in the typical case) don't really have an interest in games as a medium, and are simply looking for small distractions to fill gaps in their lives. If they don't appreciate the games themselves, I don't expect them to appreciate the art behind them either.

But since you went there, I do think that exclusively playing freemium slot machine games is an indicator of bad taste. Just as someone that exclusively eats at fast food restaurants probably has bad taste in food (yeah, I made a fast food analogy).

I feel sorry for the kids that grew up with smart phones and have never known a game that wasn't vapid and exploitative. There are worse fates, but still.

I generally assume the opposite.

If an engineer is outstanding, their actions can speak for themselves, and they won't have to put on airs; if an engineer is mediocre, their only option to hide it will be arrogance.
This is a gratuitously negative comment so i can get in on the downvotes here.
Rural highways have much higher fatality rates. I'm not sure that actually changing the speed limit will change that, as drivers might just keep driving the same speed.
The thing is - most peoples' reactions to things aren't really arbitrary. There are some outliers, and a good deal of individual variation, but by and large most human emotions follow pretty consistent patterns. It can be hard to see them (particularly when you're young and haven't had a lot of practice interacting with people), but the more you get out and make socially awkward mistakes, the more you can form a mental model of what's likely to be offensive and what's safe.

I agree that it's not worth constantly worrying about what other people think of you, but it turns out that's not usually what other people are expecting anyways. Rather, it's just that when you make a mistake, apologize, try not to make it again, and move on. Everybody makes mistakes - I've seen some folks I consider very socially adept make pretty embarrassing gaffes. But usually the folks who're viewed as socially skilled just brush it off and update their mental model of how not to offend people, while the ones that people get mad at are those who are either completely oblivious or react with defensiveness.
Bad wording.

Does this update add Adobe's stuff into kernel or does it not (e.g. if Adobe is just piggy-backing on Windows PMP)? Can anyone from Mozilla comment on this?

This is a principal question, because if there is an Adobe's kernel DRM driver in this update, then it makes sense to go with the "EME-free" update instead of adding and then, hopefully, removing 3rd party junk from the kernel as per that Mozilla KB linked elsewhere in this thread.
I think it is mindful practice; I'm in my mid 30s and probably more abrasive than in my early 20s, despite having much less testosterone-fueled aggression.
I only wish there was an AWS SDK - given Lua is used in the Nginx world widely, writing scripts in Lua rather than Python for DevOps makes sense.
There are people for whom it hasn't sunk in yet that it's a thing you don't say, and then there are jerks.
The interesting part of this is the "sandbox" intended to keep the DRM module out of parts of the system you don't want it messing with. Some general commentary here:

>Wearing a seatbelt keeps people a lot safer and has a really low cost in terms of impinging on freedom.

I don't agree with that at all. There are too many opportunities for police to stop motorists, which they use to pivot and further impinge upon peoples' freedom. It is a common tactic for police to stop motorists for any of a number of reasons such as this reason as a tactic to initiate a search of their vehicle, and record the identities of driver and passengers. I am glad that cars are equipped with seat belts, and of course it is wise to use them; but I disagree that the state has much or any legitimacy in stopping a motorist who was causing no negative effect on other motorists simply because their seat belt was not visible. At its worst (and commonly) the seat belt requirement is abused by greedy entities to drum up extra revenue to which they would otherwise not be entitled.
> It's perfectly OK to disagree with someone; but please consider doing so in a respectful and thoughtful tone.

The problem I've found is I literally get ignored and end up repeatedly dealing with the same mess until I stop being "kind" about it.

I generally have to do literally 10x as much work to be "kind" than when I'm less generous about it. The problem with kindness is its frequently taken [in IT, in places I've worked] as it not being a serious problem that actually needs to be addressed except as a favor to you. It eventually, frequently, gets to the point where serious problems are repeatedly introduced and you end up having to clean it up.

Because from their point of view, if it really was a problem, you would have stopped being nice after the first or second time.
Where would we be without you? Reading the terms like we all should be doing!
It mostly depends on how close to tenure they are, and how controversial the data is.

e.g. Dan Shechtman, who recently got a nobel for his work in crystallography, was an outcast for a long while because his data did not fit with the prevailing model - to the point that people in his lab refused to peek through his microscope eyeviewer because what he said they will see there should not have been possible.

Read http://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/jan/06/dan-shechtman... and also http://motherboard.vice.com/read/quasicrystals-are-natures-i... (it's about a lot more, but also talks about Shechtman's history)

There are a few other cases like this: Robin Warren (Ulcer/Helicobacter connection), Barbara McClintock ("Jumping Genes"). The farther back they are, the harder it is to get the real story, but unfortunately Shechtman's story is far from unique.
Perhaps. Though I would say that we've become very used to things becoming "small and wireless" over the last several decades, so that it almost seems inevitable now, but I'm not sure that's always been the case.
It's "How to Win Friends and Influence People", and it's one of Paul Graham's recommended books (see http://www.paulgraham.com/startupfaq.html ), along with the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.

There's also "7 Habits of Highly Effective People", which is often recommended in the same breath.
It's a choice for the developers. They can use Node standalone or inside a Universal Windows application with access to the underlying platform using JavaScript.
None of those match "stated beliefs".

At best, you infer support--similarly, you might say that by voting for Obama one supports drone strikes on civilians.

This whole thing is screwy enough as it is without putting words in people's mouths to then feign outrage over.

Miss Manners wrote about her newspaper subscription not arriving. She called repeatedly and was nice. Finally she got somebody in charge who told her "We don't do anything unless the customer is angry". She asked nicely if he would put her down as having been irate. He kindly did.
> I don't like stop representing my opinion in one topic just so others help me with another topic. It'd be selling part of my opinions to buy other peoples support. That's Realpolitik and I consider it as a kind of dishonesty.

I can tell you're young and ideologically pure. I'd suggest you go out to the world and meet lots of people: people you disagree with, people with vastly different cultures than you, and people that you deride as having "psychological conditions".

You probably have something to learn from them. And they have something to learn from you.

If you're unable to work with others because of these (virtually) irrelevant identity politics, then that is your fault as much as theirs.

That's all I'll have to say on the subject, because I definitely don't have a high opinion of this manner of thought. I've come across it plenty of times before, from southern bigots to leftist marxists and militant atheists. Its all the same to me: bigotry and identity politics that get in the way of real workers who are looking to make the world a better place to live in.

Its a big world out there dude, lots of people are going to disagree with you and live their lives in ways you despise. Yet, it will prove beneficial if you learned to work with them. And one point is to ignore the irrelevant identity politics that only serve to divide us.
I found the code clear and comprehensible - your genetic library for convnet.js looks useful - have you seen Karpathy's reinforce.js ?

I notice you left a training flag - I would like to watch the nets train so definitely going to have a go.

And thanks for introducing me to CNE, I am reading John Gomez's thesis right now - very very interesting, looks to have a big advantage over Q-learning.

In your blog post you compare the 'DNA' of multiple training episodes, the similar weights kind of suggests that you have exhaustively searched the problem space ?
Not to mention there will always be situations where you need to take control.

A flooded (but passable) road is an example that comes to mind--I don't envision us programming our way out of that one.

Surely there's dozens of similar examples.
Price range is undecided. The original plan was something simple off craigslist, but then I found myself looking at new stuff and thinking the $2k/pr B&W at Best Buy sounded pretty damn good, and wanting to hear more of the gamut between.

Use is music (electronic, rock, classical), mainly casual while doing other stuff. Some possible interest in home theatre down the line, but not immediately and not looking to make tradeoffs for it either (eg I want non-satellite full-response speakers, as I'm not a big fan of the dual-humped "subwoofer sound", at least outside of a car).

What specific fundamental physics are you talking about?

How do people generally shop for these things if they aren't available to listen to locally?
It has a lot to do with reaction times as well. At higher speeds you've already run into the idiot swerving into your lane (or whatever) by the time your brain processes image.

I'm sure they use it to bypass the fingerprint scanner.

Oh sure, the scanner may be turned off but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not collecting fingerprints anyway. Perhaps the Chinese are more realistic about pervasive surveillance than we are.
I for one am pretty decided to move to Firefox once Mozilla integrates Servo into it (granted the performance benefits really are significant).

But I'm also waiting for Mozilla to implement its multi-process sandboxing system. Microsoft seems to be doing some interesting things on that front as well - I hope Mozilla is watching. I like the idea of having each tab in an secured app container, which sounds even better than Chrome's tab-in-a-process system.

https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2015/05/11/microsoft-edg...

Of course this will only work on Windows 10, but I don't think that's any reason to wait on implementing such a system (unless it has some major issues I'm not seeing, of course).
I'm glad to see Jython make this progress. Unfortunately, it's still nearly 5 years behind Python itself---Python 2.7 was released in July 2010.[1] The leap to 2.7 is a huge deal, though, as that's the "gold standard" for Python 2 these days.

No, the second manager didn't fire me - my apathy and lack of motivation didn't keep the team from shipping or themselves being demotivated. A key thing the first manager taught me was that a good leader is able to keep their team motivated and moving forward in spite of problems above - shielding the team, etc.

And the second wasn't an ass - he just used fear as a management technique. As opposed to the first manager that used empowerment and encouragement.

I do see a fair share of managers that use fear/authority/power as a technique to get results, but for me (and I see for many other peers) it is counter productive in the long run.

Respect earned from fear/position is short-lived. Respect earned from trust and empowerment will stay with people their entire careers and pay dividends.
Right, my point was that I don't believe that's really the impetus for the law.
I actually did the work to find it: $10/mo for 5 hours then $2.95 / hour. So even 15 hours cost $39.95.

Well, the impact is variable, though. If people are buying pied-à-terres out of the existing housing stock anyway, consolidating them into new luxury condos downtown makes those apartments available to regular renters.

Even if some new luxury apartments are pied-à-terres which would not be in SF in the absence of new construction, if some are actually occupied then rents for the city in general will also benefit. (New downtown high-rises with super-fancy penthouses can easily have many real residents on the lower floors.)
I am particularly annoyed by the name "Whisper" for the "25 seconds only" messages: It got me to read on because I thought they interfacing with WhisperSystem's protocol for TextSecure. Because, open protocols, federation and all that. Would have been nice, right?
Well, thumbs down for that.

Also, if you don't trust the other to not want to log your conversation, don't send sensitive stuff. But then again people do seem to like snapchat and thelike, so I shouldn't judge too much there maybe.
> it will likely get cheaper as the tech matures and common problems are addressed through improved manufacturing and better tools.

Yes! They are very cheap compared to coal fired power plants. During University I helped prepare one of the first wind turbines (call the wind furnace[0]) ever built to be shipped to the Smithsonian. This initial prototype turbine was built in 1972. Now 43 years later we have massive adoption of the technology and we are still ironing out the bugs. Big O&M cost are blade repair, gearbox and generator swapout and yes they are getting cheaper, but most of the these costs are the cost of the crane coming in.

Modern turbines are fairly new to the market and we are still collecting data on how the components last over time. Most manufacturers, Siemens, GE, Gamesa, etc provide a 3-5 year warranty. Their incentive is to produce as many cheap components as possible that last the 3-5 years so they don't have to replace the parts under warranty.

Wind turbines are very complex feats of engineering, solar panels on the other hand are simpler to make than sheetrock and as we scale that technology and come up with creative financing options that guarantee savings market penetration is going to be even greater than wind even in regions far away from the equatorial region.

creative finance is the key to clean energy scale and adoption, not technology.

I think that this is Karunamon (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9534654)'s point: an inconsistent collection of statements contains at least one false statement; but a collection of statements, all of which are false, is guaranteed to be consistent, so consistency is no guarantor of truth (and indeed may obtain with more falsehood in place than inconsistency).
However, a medieval-style castle would still be cool if it was built in 2015.
Several well-known people in tech are notorious jerks. So I don't think being kind is a necessary condition for career success (though it can't hurt). But I suspect it's necessary to have a happy life.
The only problem with _why's book of course is that it's older and has examples that no longer work. That said though I found it a fun little read when I needed to get up to speed with some Ruby for a project recently.
HTML is a presentation language, XML is a data language, JavaScript is a programming language.

HTML is more like Powerpoint, XML like MS-Access.
Thank you. It would appear that collection under the MUSCULAR program relies on UK fibre links.

Given previous, I'm going to assume they still do routinely collect data between US data centres on fibre links - but that's only an assumption. No supporting evidence.

For the same reason, and previous behaviour, given no evidence to the contrary - thinking that they don't is only an assumption too.
> Office uses a documented XML format now

It's still formats that can't be fully implemented without breaking compatibility with MS products.

PS: Personally I like what MS doing now and I accept that this can be serious change, but that would be dumb to trust them until like 3-5 years pass at least.
In addition to the tech prediction, I'm impressed by the cultural one.
But a collection of true statements cannot be inconsistent, so inconsistency does imply falsity. (Perhaps you are arguing against the converse, that falsity implies inconsistency, or against the claim that inconsistency and falsity are equivalent?)

Ah I see. But as far as training goes the difference between the two methods ("evolution" and backprop) is a matter of locality, no? The backprop modifies weights loosely based on local gradiet towards fitness, and evolution goes in sparse random directions. In this view backprop is indeed vulnerable to local maxima if your optimization method isn't very good, but isn't it just a matter of choosing good optimization methods? In other words, combining local backprop optimization with global evolutionary methods should be the role of robust optimization algos, no?
Shoot, I wrote it correctly at first, and after checking for the authors correct name with google, I screwed and put it wrongly.

Perhaps effectiveness of housing policy could be measured by the price changes as population grows. Texas for instance has very loose zoning regulations, with high population growth and below median home prices. Also, Texas didn't have the huge run-up in housing appreciation as did many other states, and hence virtually no subsequent crash [0]. During that time Texas has grown in population substantially. To be fair, New York didn't have much of a crash either but the housing market is very expensive.

I love NY. I choose to live here. I don't like high rent though.

I'm just a little weary of allowing political bodies to determine the right "urban environment" as these same bodies have used their powers for segregation. Sure, diversity sounds good, but it sometimes leaves a bad taste in my mouth. For instance, ~70% of Stuyvesant High School is Asian and admission is based solely on a test. Should Asian's be prevented from attending?

It was in response to the misanthropy portion of the comment; it's not an argument against egoism at all.
You hit the nail on the head.

Funding is also a big part of it. It's much easier to get funding for a mobile game than for an indie PC game, even though the mobile game is significantly less likely to make a return on investment. So perhaps some mobile devs know they aren't going to make it, but take the money anyway so that they can work on something on someone else's dime, while they build up experience and add another piece to their portfolio.

I'm not convinced it's a worthwhile trade, however, if it makes you lose your faith in humanity and your art form in the process.
Which mission statement is that? I thought their mission was specific to the Internet and open source software.
I get rendering HTML from JS, handling timeouts, even infinite scroll. But how in the world are they handling onMouseOver, and other mouse events? My best guess so far is reversing the code from the document.location events.
Maybe avalanche wasn't the best example, but still, a robotic lassie seems like it would have uses!
I mentioned BlazBlue specifically because of their combination of 3D Art and 2D Art. The 2D art is as you said: very simplified.

Count the number of colors on Jin Kisaragi. The smooth, defined lines going down "strong", hand-crafted pixel art lines. With massive sprites built for the high-definition era to boot.

The 3D art gets a bit intricate and busy, but the 2D Sprites.
To be clear, Alice is intentionally authenticating to Eve in this scenario. So a secure channel does not impede the attack. For example, suppose Eve is Facebook and Bob is Google. Alice logs into Facebook, but what she doesn't know is that Facebook is passing her signatures directly through to Google. Now Mark Zuckerberg can like YouTube videos on Alice's behalf.

To prevent this, Alice must also sign the domain she's authenticating to. The article mentioned this, and maybe you had meant it to be implicit in your protocol, in which case: my bad.

"Mozilla-based activities should be inclusive and should support such diversity."

Okay. If Eich was still there, this must logically be followed with:

"..Nevermind that one C-level guy over there who took positive action to deny some of you rights, this absolutely will not impact anything in any way and we as a company still hold these views of diversity and openness."

Having someone with his beliefs at such a high position makes the entire "diversity" thing ring rather hollow. No matter what you think of the whole situation, I think you can see the dissonance that would cause.

My experience with human beings is that precisely nobody can silo their beliefs like that.
If it adds an engine abstraction layer which would allow users to choose an engine (and somebody implements SpiderMonkey support there), sure why not.

Skype's real time translation
"Text does not communicate tone" is a huge problem. You can solve that by deciding that certain types of communication should be done face to face.

Being kind can be more concise. Here is an example that my fiance recently pointed out...

I think the single biggest mistake people make in communication is reminding the other person they are incorrect when that does not change the content.

"As I told you Monday, the reason is X."

"I have not heard from you when I asked for feedback, so I am following up."

"We could have done it the other way, but since you already set it up, let's use this."

It is amazingly tempting, almost everyone does it, and your communication becomes an order of magnitude more benevolent when you edit those clauses out.

For more ideas on how to be concise and kind, I highly recommend the parenting book, _How to Talk so Kids Will Listen, and Listen so Kids Will Talk_. It is not just for parents. What works with 13 year old kids also works with 30 year old kids.
