That's pretty amazing. I played so much warcraft 2 over lan back in the day, but having played broodwar, warcraft 3, and starcraft 2 the game did seems a bit flat? I am assuming you're reasonably good or you wouldn't have stuck with it as long. What are some of the things that warcraft 2 does better than the newer games in the genre by the same company? I know how to explain that mapping for BW -> SC2 or WC3, but not for WC2 -> Other games.
I collect old games on GOG.com and from humble bundles that I owned in the past, or remember wanting to play but never got a chance to. Rarely do I actually have the time to play them, and rarer still do they capture that same feeling. I still collect them though, as it makes me feel good to think at some point I'll end up with a bunch of free time and a bunch of games to play, even if when I'm honest with myself I don't see that happening any time soon. Just knowing it's there ready for me if I want is a good feeling (if it was cheap enough, so I don't feel guilty).
The worst thing about burnout is that it's really hard not to carry into interviews or other discussions about actually finding new work. Especially with all the invasive questions they keep piling on, and on, and on.

It's as if there's just no room to be human -- even though all you want to do is turn a new leaf, put the nightmare of your previous failed working relationship behind you.

This author has serious cases of both my-intuitions-trump-your-predictive-models and lack-of-joy-in-the-merely-real.

> The most obvious assault on space is analogous to that which time has had to suffer: reduction to a pure quantity. Space is translated into points, lines, surfaces, and volumes; to dimensions or quantitative parameters x y, z. Places – habitats – are stripped down to decimal places. Much is lost in consequence.

It's really ironic when people use written examples to complain about symbolic representations being inadequate.

My viewpoint is directly opposite to the author's here; their modus tollens is my modus ponens. Because points and lines and formulas can be used to predict things in the real world, they are clearly not lacking-of-the-original-essence w.r.t. what they represent. Math is not a muted version of reality lacking the core substance, it is unreasonably effective [2].

> The putative curvature of non-Euclidean space is intrinsic: it is present at every level above that of an infinitesimally small spatial point. So resistance to the idea of curved space does not arise from a superficial misunderstanding that can be cured with the help of a simple analogy. Rather, it is resistance to the odd idea that emptiness can have any topology, curved or straight.

The author seems to be assuming that the lack of any topology is equivalent to flat space, i.e. Euclidean topology. Why would that be the case? They have no actual grounds for expecting space to "default to" the L2-norm. Why wouldn't it default to the much simpler L1-norm (i.e. taxicab geometry [3]), or just a disconnected set of points with no distance relationship between them at all?

> The unintelligible idea of ‘curved space’ is the product of misidentifying a system of representation with that which is represented. This habit has a long history. [...] However, the immense power of mathematical physics – which requires abstracting from phenomenal reality and the reduction of experienced and experienceable reality to mere parameters to which numerical values are assigned – does not justify uncritically accepting concepts such as ‘curved space’ that attempt to re-insert phenomenal appearances into its abstractions.

Curved space is a concept so well defined that you can explain it to a computer. It is the opposite of unintelligible.

The reason we think it's a good model of actual reality, thus justifying the statement "space is curved", is that it makes new, different, and confirmed predictions. If you think it's so easy to come up with an interpretation of general relativity that doesn't involve mixing space and time, why don't you learn it and try to do that? (Fun fact: it's easy to do in special relativity; just pick a preferred rest frame [4].)

This is particularly important for Shyp.

If I order a parcel from Amazon and my delivery driver's bad, it's unlikely I could get Amazon to change couriers. But if I request a pickup from Shyp and the pick up driver's bad, I can change couriers tomorrow.
Oh I agree. And if you're right, it's a pretty thumping indictment of Prof. Tallis, don't you think? On what basis does he form that expectation? If a man is so conscious of language and meaning that he feels confident dissecting a long-established tool of physics on the grounds of semantics, and he simultaneously ignores the existence of jargon, culture, and context in another field, then I think it's hard to take him seriously at all.

(Sorry if that sentence was hard to parse; this horrid article infected me.)
>If yes, please, create a library.

Assuming you want to force everyone to use the same technology stack. And redeploy every application every time the internals of the library change.

That may well be OK for what you are doing. Or not.
Honest question; How can you even do this (replace the running binary/java code without closing file descriptors, etc) in plain java/on the jvm? [ Without resorting to tricks where there is some trampoline code that actually does the connection handling that never gets updated. I realize that's kind-of what the authors of the linked paper are doing too, but it's certainly possible to do this "the old fashioned way" without such hacks in native code on linux]
That's not a problem. Even a good thing and the BSDs will build one properly.

The problem is how systemd came to be (through political games indeed of merit) and that it's not just an init replacement but that it gets its grubby fingers everywhere in the OS and that it's turning Linux into a Windows-like binary blob mess.
Hello, I am a university student graduating next year, and I am very interested in any recent-graduate positions that uber has available - the website does not feature the usual "recent graduate" section that I am used to. Any pro-tips for me?
I had a good look for a library that does this for the app I'm currently working on, before giving up and creating a custom solution myself. My implementation is very much custom-fitted to my particular backend api and the way I'm rendering the view layer with React.

I think a large part of the reason such standalone libraries might not exist yet, is that it's really difficult to make a general, flexible, tech agnostic solution to this problem - as you've highlighted this is probably why Meteor's implementation is so tightly coupled with Mongo and why SQL integration is taking a while (assuming, surely, it must be a pretty high-priority feature on their roadmap).

In other words such a library is likely to be so prescriptive on how the rest of the stack, particularly the backend, fits around it that it only really makes sense as part of a full-stack framework, or at the very least a prescriptive full-stack architecture.

LiquidTalent is an exclusive marketplace for developers, designers, and marketers to find contract work.

Our platform is currently open to all talent to find work, but we're looking for an experienced backend Rails developer to help us build out the rest of the platform (ONSITE). Specifically, in the short-term, we're looking to build out more powerful search and discovery features on our platform. You'd be working with 1 other junior Rails dev, 1 other senior Rails dev, and 1 senior Angular dev.

We're a super early startup with seed funding. It's an amazing time to join, as you'll have a lot of autonomy, and you'll have a good amount of control over the direction of the product. Every week is a completely different experience.

If any of this sounds interesting, contact me at ken {at} liquidtalent {dot} com

And feel free to check out what we have right now:

Recently, I bought a Macbook Pro 13" and it was unusable for me. The effective resolution is to large in the standard pixel doubling mode. Switching it to something smaller cripples the operating system. Since I switch workspaces quite frequently, I can't live with a stuttering animation. That would have driven me crazy.

Not only that, the panel (or diffuser oder backlight or whatever is in there) is loose. So if you tilt it, it's going to move and make a soft but audible sound. I had two brand new Macbook Pros which had that issue. One of them should have been repaired but I was told that it is "normal."

Look, we've moved away from spindles to No More Moving Parts. And they tell me, that the display panel moves around depending on the direction of gravitation?

These things pretty much make the Macbook Pro such an annoying computer that I couldn't use it and sent it back.

The sad part about the rant of the article's author and my complaints is that there is nowhere else to go once you've been locked into OS X. It becomes a question of what is the least terrible choice.

You wait generation after generation hoping they'd make a computer that is just right for you. But they won't. That's the point where you end up ranting on the internet or otherwise get really pissed.

And once you decide to go Linux, you might end up happier but you can forget any interoperability between Linux and OS X/iOS. That is, if you care about that. I don't even care about the last 321 iOS interoperability features for OS X. I just want a computer that works like I want it, not like Apple wants it.

Sigh. Adblock Plus / µBlock are almost as broken as not using them.

I only want to block obnoxious ads. First and foremost, popunder (these should not even exist, I don't see any legitimate use for them) and also popups.
Let's add the very aggressive ones (blinking content).

I don't want to block the ads on my favorite blogs and I really don't like the fact that I have to create a custom rule to do so.

>Is the information "from Alice"?

No.

> when she and Bob next meet on planet X and tells him in person how devastated she is, was it Alice that really generated that information? Was it Alice's nervous system?

Yes. The info may also have had an earlier cause, but that is completely screened off by Alice (in the technical sense of screen; see http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/causation-probabilistic/#S...).

>Do humans really generate any information at all that doesn't come from entangled systems?

I think you don't understand what entangled means; if I take two envelopes and put a 1 in the first and a 0 in the second, the envelopes aren't "entangled". Entanglement has a specific meaning, and doesn't just mean correlation. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell's_theorem

Anyway, you seem to have some confusion over determinism and physics, but it doesn't really have to do with FTL.

You should find this interesting http://terralang.org

Took me a couple reads to figure out what it does. Luajit is the metalanguage for Terra. But, if you want to, you can run a mixture of Lua and Terra at runtime or statically compile to a pure Terra exe or .o with no Lua runtime at all.

Weeby.co is looking for a C++ Engineer | ONSITE (Mountain View, CA) | FULL TIME | engineering@weeby.co

We are changing the way people build games. We believe that non-zero compile times when iterating on a game are unacceptable, that the right tools can turn a single developer into an entire game studio, and that drop-in social experiences provide them with the best user acquisition and re-engagement strategy in the industry. The Tealeaf team builds the runtime that makes that all possible.

Responsibilities
You will be part of our team building Tealeaf, the HTML5 runtime that powers all Weeby games on iOS and Android. You will contribute to features like on-device remote debugging from your desktop browser, remote application loading, CanvasRenderingContext2D Path APIs, and the WebGLRenderingContext.

- Implementing DOM APIs in C++ and exposing them to the JavaScript runtime
- Writing integration tests in JavaScript for new APIs. A feature that isn’t tested isn’t done.
- Code review other team member’s features and fixes

Qualifications
You have experience with the following:

- writing concurrent C or C++
- binding native code with a JavaScript engine like v8 or SpiderMonkey
- writing JavaScript
- implementing vector graphics rendering algorithms
- OpenGL ES, WebGL
- WebIDL, experience implementing/maintaining C++ code generator
- Knowledge/experience with blink dev-tools protocol

Why you should join

We build the tools to make building fun games easy, and we have fun while we build them. The code we write spans several domains which makes for intellectually stimulating days. When we need a break from the keyboard we compete in an office ping pong ladder, get coffees and dine down the block. For fun we have team BBQs, weekly team dinners and enjoy weekly game nights joined by friends and the StartX community.

We offer competitive salaries (weeby 250k) and equity.

Interested? Shoot us an email (engineering@weeby.co) with your resume.
Social engineering will be always effective, but that's not the point. This /is/ a problem with VBA - as a person viewing a document, it doesn't seem like you're running anything, but really you're running arbitrary unsigned code that has full r/w access to everything on your system. To make it worse, this has been a major attack vector for over a decade yet it's still completely unsandboxed.
Some years ago there was a site called NameThis by klustr where people could request names for specific things for money and have users submit suggestions, then voting on them. The winning users would get some nice money. Sadly there was a lot of cheating going on and very bad communication from the company. They went offline after a fairly short time.

I loved it, it was a mixture of puns, wordplay and general creativity. Got my first overseas pay check for it (or was it a filled credit card? It was a bit weird and complicated...). Still remember my winning suggestion and I hope the.company uses it, it was purrfect.

This is an interesting idea. By using the 900 MHz band you'll get much greater range than if you were using the 2.4 or 5 GHz bands.

The RF won't look like a cordless phone, though. Those use a really small channel width and amount of bandwidth while this device likely uses a 5 or 10 MHz channel width.

Of course, if someone finds one of these in a public place, law enforcement is likely going to get called ("Look at those antennas! It might be a remotely controlled bomb!").

A better idea, in my opinion, would be to pick up a 2.4 GHz Ubiquiti (e.g., a NanoStation M2), a Yagi antenna, and sit somewhere with a good view of the horizon and find a random open access point to connect to (spoof it's MAC first, though).
I believe it. I've paused with a "wtf" look on my face plenty of times dealing with the complexity and many odd decisions of those. It's what made me briefly use Fluxbox/Openbox distro's just to avoid the complexity. A bit too manual on the app side, though, so I reluctantly went back to a more full desktop environment. I'm sure we'll continue to see more competition in that area and maybe a solid alternative in the future to what we have.

I'm not sure it says anything about the other parties involved, but your willingness to knowingly externalize costs onto others says quite a bit about you
