That point fails: HN has a much
larger and more broad audience
than AWS. Still, actually, HN should
define OP -- I still don't have
a good source to know what it means
and have been only guessing. That
AWS has a smaller audience than
HN does not excuse omitting
definitions.

Again you are assuming that
readers of that OP blog
are "99%" experienced AWS
users, and that's not good.
If the blog were only for
such users, then I should
say so.

That I could look around to
unwind the acronym, later
in the text, elsewhere on
the page, on some other
pages of the blog,
elsewhere at AWS, at Google,
doesn't excuse anything.

I mentioned some authors with
some writing that is astoundingly
technical, and there terms
are defined as I described.

Computing is awash in bad
technical writing; I should
be torqued at it, and I am;
one of the worst problems
is poor handling of technical
terminology, jargon, and
acronyms; the blog post was
an example: Either (A)
define the acronyms on or
before first usage or
warn the audience that
there are prerequisites.

I hope that at some point they add something like that virtual computer that Notch had added to 0x10c?

No matter what this is the first game that I've been excited about since I was a kid.

EDIT: Damn. The negativity in here is weird. What is it with gamer's that they just want to shit all over things? No gas planets...yeah they are real pricks for that. ??? What? A procedural universe is kind of a big deal. There's nothing that says that this thing can't be extended in the future as well.

The planets look the same? If you look at the screens from the PSX demo there was some really beautiful landscapes there. There is a palette that was chosen to reflect early sci-fi novel covers. That's actually really cool.

Yeah it seems odd they use divers, instead of some sort of pulley system to lift the balloons to the surface for maintenance and harvesting.

For comparison, you don't (usually) dive to lobster pots. They have a buoy on the surface and you pull them up.
I was talking about having unique planets. I never said they don't have some large-number of them.

The Motorola Droid was an excellent entry into the Android phone market. I switched from the original Android phone, the HTC G1 and pretty much everything about the Droid was better. I hope Motorola survives as a smartphone manufacturer if only because I can't stand HTC/Samsung hardware.
Conversely, I feel that some of my most beloved games have come from exactly the sort of genesis you seem to reject.
There are a lot of such tools which allow to create a layout of your pages. In case of builder you should consider page as a desk for combining components into some composition which you will reuse as a component itself.
So, there is very small similarity - only because you can copy/paste/delete some components.
I think the downvotes are because you completely failed to grasp what Fish shell is. It is a newer more modern shell than bash not some type of retro 90's toy.
I would love to see a side-by-side of this and those awful "website builder" tools that domain/hosting providers churn out.

I bet this would seem easier to use, and have a much nicer finished product -- as well as being flexible if the user wants to (which of course is almost never the case with users of aforementioned tools).
Another way of looking at this is that, in a dynamic world (especially technology), things are constantly changing, and the very term passive implies your product is static. If you leave your Saas product that has <1,000 hours of dev time alone, thereby becoming a passive income, your very dynamic competitors who are always looking for their next revenue source will be building additional features and trying to steal your customers. The only way this doesn't hold true is if you develop some sort of barrier to entry for competitors that keep it from being worthwhile for them to try to compete with you. Oftentimes, the best barrier to entry is building a product that is difficult to replicate, which means more like >10,000 hours of dev time, which is 5 years of work. In the small business/Saas world, you are either growing or you are dying. It is very hard to maintain a static/passive business.

They seem to have a value add thing for TV adverts, I notice it a lot when I'm at my mum's and the TV is on. You see a pulsing shazam logo and presumably you shazam the advert and they redirect you to something from the advertiser. I assume they get paid there, maybe pretty well if they're really adding to the value of expensive TV ads.

Seems a bit odd to use it as an insult though, as quite a few people (myself included) are more or less 'mouth breathers' because of medical conditions.
Apple signs major lease in north San Jose
Many moons ago on holiday with my folks on Barbados in the Caribbean a local rental outfit had a collection of old Oz MiniMokes available. Planning on a month's trip to Kiwiland the following October and wanting to drive a manual there, I decided to tool around the Island in a beat-up RHD Moke. Of course pedal configuration was the same but a mirror-image of gear selection was expected. Wrong. It was simply a task of envisioning the shifter in space and changing gears in the normal manner using the left instead of the right hand. But turning on the wipers when you wanted to signal a turn always takes some getting used to. And roundabouts (circles) or wide turns aren't problematic if you just simulate behavior in your head, remembering where you are, before executing your moves. Personally, I still find this fun.
> You're speaking of negative evidence

I wasn't. ~E is a shorthand way to write that E is not found, not that the opposite of E is found. In the language of probability/set theory, ~E is E's complement - every event in the space of probabilities except for what's in E. It's the unique set such that ~E intersect E = empty set, and ~E union E is the whole space.

The point of the proof I gave is that there is no distinction between 'negative evidence' and 'absence of evidence'.

As I mentioned earlier, there is a kind of conservation of probability. The only way for a piece of evidence to give evidence for A is that the lack of that evidence reduces the probability of A. The probability mass has to come from somewhere.
The reality is that what you do online is subject to seizure, exposure, and retaliation.

I agree - the 2015 e3 demo video was a disappointment to me. The whole "Let's pick a random planet to fly to" sounds awesome, but then it's a big letdown when it looks remarkably similar to the ones in the other videos.

The problem is you can have an unimaginably large number of unique planets but yet they still all end up looking the same. Sure, the coastlines might vary or the colouring may be mildly different, but if the gameplay effect is negligible, then it's not an advantage.

I was (unrealistically) thinking that there would be planets with bustling cities, unique architecture, races, cultures and technologies.

I simplified the example, cdc does more than just a change the directory. `cdc -t name` changes to the directory and attaches to the tmux session of the same name if it exists, and if it doesn't, sets up my tmux layout for development.
Indeed. Most of the tricks they use come from the holy bible of procedural rendering books (Texturing and Modeling, Musgrave et al) and are relatively superficial (and really not so difficult).

I don't argue there exists a tremendous number of configurations but I don't think they are not substantive enough to make a difference. Look at Spore if you want a case in point.

The hype train is very strong with this game because the media loves a good indie darling. I'm not convinced yet but have high hopes!
I'm doing this right now with http://zencastr.com. It's still in beta so it hasn't made money yet.

Not sure if I'm very qualified to give tips but one thing that has helped immensely is that I work remotely and have a job where I can choose my hours. If I have an emergency with my side project I can usually tend to it immediately. I also don't have to work a full 40 hour week so that gives me time to work on Zencastr.

Sometimes it has been hard to keep things moving on it. It is quite easy to go a week without making any progress. Especially if I am up against a bug that is proving hard to figure out.

One thing that really helped push forward consistently was to make a trello list of todos. Then every day (almost), I make sure to cross something off of that list. It might only be a small copy change, or simple style tweak. As long as I cross something off every day I'm making progress. Typically I find that once I'm making a small change it gets me in the zone to work on bigger stuff while I'm there as well. Then weekends are typically when I really dig in and get stuff done.

We had our first baby right in the middle of all of this as well. Having a supportive partner definitely makes a big difference.

Hope that is helpful.
I enjoyed it, was something a bit different.
> 'Cause I'd say, grab a shotgun and shoot in their general direction.

This is terrible advice.

The chance that you are the victim of a serial killer is so vanishingly small as to be not worth considering. Therefore if you have an intruder in your home, they are almost certainly after your property.

I would hope that any moral human being would not value property over a human being's life.

Therefore the best outcome which preserves human life is to simply let the intruder take your property and leave. They're almost certainly in a hurry to do so.

Involving a firearm escalates the situation unnecessarily and raises your own chances of death from very very unlikely to probably 50/50 (stat pulled from my butt).

If, on the other hand, you do believe that lethal force is justified to protect property then you have a miss aligned moral compass.
Right; that's what I'm talking about too. They can have that many unique planets in principle which (due to lazy evaluation, you could say) they only need to 'assemble' a small number of them. But they can all be unique. I agree with you that it's a problem of how to make them seem sufficiently different to each other though.
Yeah, I'm a little concerned (from what I've seen) that the focus might be on exploring this planet-generation algorithm and not on making a compelling game experience.

Spore suffered greatly from this: It was conceptually fascinating but really not much fun to actually play. Hopefully team No Man's Land have taken a lesson!
What a weird and arbitrary (and absurdly anthropocentric) standard for who is regarded as valuable.
I found hydrogen on gas giants. I found Radioactives on Terrestial planets on Mountains, but each of those only gives 2K energy so they're not all that much better than Hydrogen. Still looking for antimatter.
Never tried a G model but Moto X is the best phone I ever had. The 1gen is about 140 usd unlocked in amazon and it runs lollipop flawless and in some specs is superior to current iPhone not to mention that the software feels quite better.

I also think that the apps bundled by Motorola to android where all excellent. The first time I actually didn't want to uninstall these kind of thing.

I hope Motorola continue to produce things with this quality level.

If you are a computer then they are in-fact unique, since every hash has a different value. But that in not what is the definition of unique for humans. Since we are humans talking in English, then we have to agree on some definitions:

Unique - 1.
existing as the only one or as the sole example; single; solitary in type or characteristics:
a unique copy of an ancient manuscript.
2.
having no like or equal; unparalleled; incomparable:
Bach was unique in his handling of counterpoint.
3.
limited in occurrence to a given class, situation, or area:
a species unique to Australia.
4.
limited to a single outcome or result; without alternative possibilities:
Certain types of problems have unique solutions.
5.
not typical; unusual:
She has a very unique smile.

By those definitions, their planets are not unique. If your definition of unique differs from those established by the language we are using, then you have to specify this.

Before I rant; I dunno the specifics about Denmark, but as a maritime nation they have a unique advantage for windpower. Off-shore windpower is far less stochastic than on-shore windpower (see last paragraph for why). So all the problems below are significantly mitigated.

In power engineering we're not talking about switches that readers in this forum are more acquainted with (in computer architecture). Currents are in the thousands of amps, not nano, and volts are in the hundreds of thousands (or millions in one Soviet era line).

Furthermore the grid is very strict with quality. The frequency must be within a certain tolerance at all times, and no more than a maximum allowed of phase shift in a period of time. The sinusoid must be quite pure, with strict maximums allowed of harmonics. The voltage has to be right. The power has to flow out, not in.

Keep in mind that the grid is unforgiving with the python philosophy of asking for forgiveness. A mistake costs millions.

Every time you add or remove a load/source the frequency changes, the voltages change, the flows change. To stabilize the grid you have a bulldozer (the throttle) and a little scalpel (capacitor banks). A few jurisdictions are blessed by the engineering gods and have an instrument that works in-between (hydroelectric storage).

Now imagine you don't have to slowly integrate a single large and lethargic source in the middle of the night when ppl are sleeping. Instead you have thousands of stochastically generating sources being integrated and removed as the load is changing.

The proof are in the prices. Wind power is expensive, but ironically the spot price sometimes drops to negative!

Wind power needs a storage revolution. Then most of these problems go away.

There is one cavet to all of this, off-shore wind. Since maritime flows are very constant and the relative speed at an interface is zero, offshore wind power if far more reliable and useful the on-shore.

your very dynamic competitors who are always looking for their next revenue source will be building additional features and trying to steal your customers.

Small software businesses are, to borrow a metaphor from DHH, a lot like a local Italian restaurant. Nobody at BigCo wakes up in the morning and says "There is a spaghetti joint in East Phili [+] with revenues of $30k a month? NUKE IT FROM ORBIT IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE."

Similarly, like spaghetti shops, small software companies do not primarily make money because of "features." The notion that software is bought because of features is something that running a software company will quickly disabuse you of.

[+] Edit to add: picked randomly because I happened to just watch a TV show set there, not to be representative of any of the Phili software companies I happen to know. (They're all substantially larger.)
"I wasn't. ~E is a shorthand way to write that E is not found"

You where. What you are describing is, 'we constructed a hypothetical experiment and arrived at a null result'; that is, in fact, evidence.

No one is saying, 'a null result is not evidence of absence'.

Please stop conflating the presence of something with the absence of something.

Yes, the statement is a tautological statement. We are repeating the same assertion twice using different phrasing. And as such, the proposition as stated is logically irrefutable.

'No evidence is no evidence', is a correct—but diminished—restatement.

Everybody has their theory of why crime increased in the 70's and started coming down after the 90's. People tend to adopt the theory that fits their worldview. I'm partial to the lead theory myself because I'm a rabid environmentalists. Urbanists blame suburbanization and white flight. Civil libertarians blame the drug war.

There is no conclusive proof or even extensive evidence in favor of any of those theories. But I think the drug war theory is one of the less compelling explanations given the evidence we have.

IME there are two main challenges

1) Pre-launch: Finding the time while working to create your SaaS (prior to go launch).

2) Post-launch: Ensuring you have the time to support your customers, and resolve issues in a timely manner. (Paying) customers come with the extra responsibility of taking care of them.

The latter can be much harder to manage since you need to react quickly and not push it off until when you have time.

I'm excited for No Man's Sky, but I'm equally excited for Star Citizen and Dean Hall's new space sim. I think that exploring/colonizing/living in space is the perfect setting for new games on massive servers run with massive video cards. But I am skeptical that procedural generation is (for this genre) any better than a huge team churning out really expensive environments day after day.

I always love the technology behind procedural games, but I still ultimately prefer an environment and story crafted by human beings. Perhaps No Man's Sky will have sufficiently advanced algorithms as to give me the same variety and intensity of experience that hand-crafted game environments do, but as I said I remain skeptical.
