>Since playing this from 2000-2002 I have all but quit gaming. Ultima Online ruined other games for me in the best way possible. I have tried to play various MMOs since but none of them come close to having the same freedom that UO offered.

The genre of games that is the successor to games like UO would be the open-world survival stuff. DayZ and Rust being the most popular but 100s of them are out now.

For a large scale MMO Crowfall looks interesting. They get around the problem of a small group accumulating all the resources on the server by wiping the server and resetting the world frequently. And of course there's Eve Online.

>There were gangs, rivalries, people would cast invisibility spells on themselves outside of your door to try to break into your house when you open the door, you could be put in prison if you were an asshole or exploited a bug, you could hunt down miners and if you managed to take them out before they entered a city's boundaries (where guards would appear and protect them from "murderers") you would be able to steal all of their clothes, armour, weapons, ore, etc. GameMasters or Counselors (GMs with limited abilities) would host PvP tournaments - round robin duels, capture the flag, etc.

I've had all of these experiences on a Rust server, including the PvP tournament and going to prison for exploiting a bug. Plenty of action packed heists involving lots of coordination and subterfuge. Here's an example of people talking about the crazy adventures in the game:

In particular there's a great story about a powerful group fighting a decentralized weak group that can only use terrorist style tactics to strike back, and how the powerful group started to try and win hearts and minds on the server to root out their enemies.
That's a really good point. So you would definitely stop using the device as soon as you know it's compromised.

I like the idea of using an accelerometer and a light sensor to trigger a warning which immediately turns off both radios. But that's really easy to avoid.

If they trace the IP to a Starbucks, then it's very easy to find the location of the wifi client. If it's under a table or in a wall, then don't touch it. Just take over the AP and start watching all the traffic. Then scan for RF, correlate network activity with RF bursts, triangulate.

And now I'm thinking about how you might be able to defeat triangulation... Maybe a cluster of radios, some public key crypto... decentralized frequency modulation? I wonder if you could do some tricky stuff with frequency modulation if you know precise distances between the transmitters and receiver, and account for variable weather conditions, etc.

Somehow build a cloud of radio waves that evenly covers an area within a given radius, and the receiver knows how to decode data which was sent by the real transmitter.

And each transmitter is continuously sending random data, so it's impossible to determine if one of the transmitters is a decoy, or the real one.

No, I don't think this would work. I'm sure it would be easy to triangulate each individual transmitter, and then just capture all positions at once.

I love thinking about this stuff, though. What other ideas are there? Maybe if you owned the Starbucks itself, then you could do some tricky stuff with NAT to try and confuse the agents.

EDIT: Another idea: What if you use a quadcopter as a relay between different radio frequencies, and make it fly around in random patterns... You could have a buffer of packets that empties at random intervals, so you couldn't link the radio bursts together.

I just got my Flutter board [1] a few weeks ago, might be a fun experiment.

My point has always been that uBlock is doing something to the Chrome tab process renderer that's causing it to consume a lot of memory. The very fact that the example page renders in only 112MB compared to >800MB with an ad blocker installed is proof of this. In the case of Chrome, with an ad blocker installed, they seem to be doing something to the DOM that causes the memory allocated for that renderer to balloon above 1GB. But, the very fact that these ad blockers cause this extreme spike in memory is alarming.

To the layman you would think the removal of ads from the DOM would reduce the amount of RAM consumed. But, just the opposite occurs. Why is this? What are these ad blockers doing exactly and why are they causing these rendering engines to spike in memory usage? But, one thing is clear, whatever they're doing it's the fault of the ad blocker and not Chrome.

After setting up an iCloud alias email you can go into Settings > iCloud > Mail (At the bottom under advanced) then change the email for the iCloud account to the alias. You can then just disable the other email address.

Now you do not need to select the alias email every time you send and email it will default to the new alias you have selected.
Very nice project, congratulations!

Modeling the Evolution of Software Architecture
Shyp picks up and packages the stuff for you, not delivers to you.

In cities that they've launched they're also able to sometimes offer cheaper rate for shipping (including the $5 pickup fee) than you'd get by driving to a UPS Store / FedEx Office, because they enjoy a heavy discount due to volume.
I stand 100% corrected.

And oddly sad. ;)

Are Software Developers Respected by “Business People”?
Yeah, I think there's a problem with the definition of microservices in theory vs in practice. In theory, the boundary of a microservice is the api, right? In practice, the boundary is the set of things you must change in order to update one part. If you have to DEPLOY ALL THE THINGS!!!! in order to update a single component, it's not a microservices architecture. Not in practice, anyway. It's a monolith with a bunch of different moving parts.
I'm always amazed by how much computer technology existed before the late 70's and early 80's personal computer market exploded.
It seems to me a pretty realistic estimate that Jon is doing rather well off of Sublime Text nowadays. However, he's been working on it for over 8 years. I've gotten the impression that some of the early times were very lean and he took on contracts to keep it going. So why should he give up the resources that he justly earned? He worked his butt off, likely made lots of personal sacrifices, and now he should open source it once he's built a solid product that lots of people love?

Ok, so let's say you don't buy the angle that he deserves the success he's had. Do you think Sublime Text's success is a coincidence? Jon is a single engineer who's built pretty much every aspect of it, from a custom cross-platform UI that doesn't suck, to a custom editor control, more recently a parallel custom regex engine to make syntax highlighting faster and more robust. He's taken performance seriously from day one.

By contrast, Atom started development in 2008 and had a team of engineers working on it. It has more community involvement and bells and whistles, but still seems a bit behind in performance.

I would argue that Jon and his priorities and decisions are one of the biggest reasons Sublime Text has been successful. Would open sourcing it help Jon keep up the focus and insight he has shown in the past? Or, would it likely take up a large amount of his time?

I don't have an insight that anyone else doesn't have. And I could be completely wrong, but I feel like if open source would ensure a better product, Lime would have taken off. Or there would be other, strong, cross-platform text editors written in desktop technologies.
...you can't just take possession of a closet full of computer-type equipment.

That isn't what we're talking about. TFA describes a device that must be hidden on someone else's site (e.g. in a closet belonging to the site owner full of the site owner's own equipment) in order to be used effectively. Thread originator complained from the perspective of the site owner, not that of the super-secret device hider. We're discussing a device that no one will claim to own, ever, by design. In addition to not ANALing, you apparently don't familiarize yourself with the discussion or TFA before injecting pointless pedantry.
We used an SH2 for the main processor of a DDS (DAT) tape drive at a company I worked at. We had a prototype that used an SH3 and I remember spending a few days hacking Linux to boot on our hardware (I think we made it to user space and then the project petered out).

GCC has supported the SH series since at least the 2.7 era (though Hitachi's compiler seemed to produce better code in those days, but only ran under DOS).

This is a very cynical guess as to why GP is being downvoted. The more obvious, straightforward reason is that the article links to this speech a mere seven sentences in. In that light, the post being downvoted adds nothing and indicates that the author probably didn't read the article at all. Commenting on something without reading it is frowned upon around here.

A lot of as in "a quarter of a million a year for a few years running"? I doubt it, and I guess that may not even be what they would need to make it a successful product at their scale (by my counting on apple.com, they now have 6 different notebook form factors and 5 different desktop ones, and Google tells me they sold over 19M Macs in 2014)

Add in that most of the 17" models sold likely would cost them a sale of a smaller one, and I doubt the numbers would add up for them.

Switching to W-2 doesn't necessarily imply full-time employment. In fact, it's in their interest to cap the hours at 30 to avoid the healthcare benefits. Having someone work 10 hours a week on company's schedule and then issuing a W-2 is how a bunch of part-time employers operate.

Wordpress is terrible, but none of the ways in which it's terrible matter.

From the point of view of the user, Wordpress is incredibly simple and intuitive. Don't underestimate how important it is for the average user to never see a terminal, and rarely if ever see the source code, for the application to feel comfortable to people most familiar with Windows applications and web forms. Anything more technical than that is intimidating.

Most people who use Wordpress aren't programmers, don't want to be programmers, and don't want to hire programmers to get their site up and running. The simplicity of installing new plugins and themes is far more important than the quality of the code.
Happy to answer questions and brainstorm ideas here.
Being told "this is not a public service" seems to indicate that it's not supposed to be used by the public. That seems pretty cut and dry.

In my industry creating digital solutions for the construction sector is really a problem that constructor have to be more profitable. Construction is a sector that hadn’t changed so much in more than a 100 years, we still use steel, concrete and others to build things, and hire worker to do most of the activities related to that. So it will be interesting to see startup disrupting the sector with
* Online blueprints
* Budgeting tools
* Materials marketplaces
* Logistics tools
* Machinery renting
* Marketplace for workers
* New sustainable materials.
* Shared Economy solutions for the sector
* Crowdsourcing solutions for the sector

I like a challenge as much as the next guy, but I'm only willing to undertake them to a certain point -- unless it is incredibly interesting I won't put more than an hour into it. It might be useful as an applicant filter, but you can't entice great engineers away from their current jobs by throwing barriers in their way.
Yeah, Atom already has hundreds of thousands of active users and moved ahead in terms of features and UI.

One year ago, open sourcing ST could have prevented Atom from ever taking off, but now it's not going to change much.

Honestly I'm very likely to stick with Blaze for the time being, as I've found it easier to follow & understand than Angular (haven't tried React yet).

I just like the sticking with general modularity approach (that really reminds me of Ruby).

I don't think the Meteor proposition is any scarier than getting into Rails, Django, or even Laravel. You're basically trusting a growing ecosystem that will prevent you from re-inventing the wheel.

I think it's great that someone is doing this, but with all due respect - 1.6bn € via crowdfunding???

Canonical tried to get 32m back in 2013 for the Ubuntu Edge smartphone. Despite a promising start (> 1m in 5hrs), they failed to get more than 12.8m[1].

1.6bn / 12.8m = 125

-- What We Do --

InsiteVR (YC W15) is building a virtual reality platform that helps architects and designers easily present 3D spaces in virtual reality. Challenges we're working on: efficient mesh compression for smooth VR performance, novel VR user interfaces, data analytics of user interactions in VR, and finally making the development of VR experiences as accessible as possible to anyone who can generate 3D content.

-- What We're Looking For --

We are hiring engineers in NYC to help build the future of our platform. At InsiteVR, we’re always pushing the limits of computing power, especially mobile devices, to render highly complex architectural models in VR. Before we can even walk around and experience these models in VR they have to be processed and optimized for rendering. We are hiring a full stack web developer and 3D Graphics Engineer to lead our development efforts.
