I'm not sure that having dash cam footage is analogous to having access to private conversations to the degree of a social media company.

Cute game. You can get into a state where there are no valid moves though: https://imgur.com/1WLufcx

We've been doing that for a few years now. Basically we have two queues: The queue for escalated defects, and an ordered queue of about 10 prioritized enhancements that we've ordered based on what we think is most important compar

Deciding that would be the job of the military wouldn't it? That's how cuts usually work. If they need some random on HN to tell them how to do that then they probably shouldn't have the job in the first place.

I think that this opinionated writing style is really great for product documentation, particularly when you are documenting something that is not intrinsically interesting. As an author writing like this you are leaving yourself vulnerable

I think that this is a false trade-off. Being "in the moment", or "present" doesn't mean turning off your brain and not planning for the future. It is possible to be present while you are planning for the future. Th

This "Living in the moment" stuff has depth such that many books have been written on it. It is one of the premises of mindfulness meditation, and Buddhism thoroughly explores this. The summary is that you will be more satisfied i

I'm not so familiar with scheme, but I can perhaps give useful answer regarding how this works with SBCL (Probably the most well known common lisp implementation). In SBCL, we would commonly say that code is "evaluated" rathe

A more correct word for converting code from one programming language into another is "transpile".

Why a developer would be asking a CEO for advice or opinions on either of these things?

Keep in mind the race condition in the flow-chart. The algorithm as described will not be safe if the same key is updated concurrently.

Failure is such a normal thing that I cannot see how it would be heartbreaking. It's heartbreaking to think that some see all failure as a dark thing that must be avoided. Holding failure in low esteem is a path of fear and egomania. I

You set a goal (make video games) then gave up on it (didn't make video games), thus failing that goal. It isn't madness, nor is it rocket surgery. It's pure semantics. I guess you have chosen a path that is not mentioned, &q

> That's not cognitive dissonance. That's learning and growing. This is committing the straw-man fallacy. The poster that this is responding to did not elaborate on what cognitive-dissonance they are referring to. In this case

It's pretty typical that bands will perform a peice in concerts before creating a recording so yes. You aren't wrong though.

It requires just one developer and a couple of reviewers to make poor choices. Which begs the question, how do you structure your organisation such that a foolish developer that only barely understands the change that they are making can&#x

As someone that started learning lisp with this book I recommend not starting with this book, and instead reading Practical Common Lisp. Some of the tutorials in the book use some fairy awkward conventions (e.g. using lists of symbols to cr

Nice story, but Firefox about:preferences has an option like, "Use a background service to install updates". I never checked it, so I guess it is on by default.

I invent another imaginary hypthetical situation: 4. Nobody makes any attempt to create a treatment, but after only six months a miracle occurs. Nobody dies and everybody is cured for no reason. Not saying that there isn't any, but whe

I have the same build. Largely I'm satisfied, but I agree with your touchpad woes. I found after I turned the sensitivity of the touchpad up to max, it didn't feel so bad.

This depends on the nature of your scaling issue. Are you having trouble with consuming events? Or with adding all of your events whilst trying to ensure that they are ordered? For the former, you might use something like [ZooKeeper]( https

It doesn't surprise me. It does not have a strong selling point. I go on to the documentation page, and see that yes, it is nice clean lisp-like language, but I can't see what problem it solves that Clojure doesn't already so

It was the multiple gigabyte steam updates that ruined this game for my group of friends. Coming home from work to find that someone has four hours worth of downloads before you could all play together? We moved on to more reliable pastures

What do you mean by "fail"?
