This paper come out in some form MUCH earlier than 2009. I was implementing its idea in my own engine in ... I dunno, 2003? Or earlier?

Nice piece of history, and hilariously/sweetly innocent/naive in its specificity and certainty, like only newbies' first "design document" could be.

70's in Seattle in January is a lie, misremembering, or massive fluke. Not normal. January is high of 40's. Source: 20 year Seattle resident who loves it anyway.

Yeah, really upset that they won't put my ideas in the next Star Wars movie too.

Nice to hear that sentiment, because personally I've reached "peak opinion" (that is, "peak hearing of opinions")

I don't really understand smart contracts yet, but wouldn't it have been possible to implement the DAO in a way such that forks/cancellations could be "voted" on by the network somehow, versus requiring whatever thi

You're right that there will be a way higher number of reference points with varying degrees of awareness, but I'm pretty sure most kids know Stampycat, Evantube, etc..

by newobj 10y ago
Yeah, we (if you are 30ish plus or minus) probably had TV shows and cartoons as shared reference points - this generation will have which Youtubers they watched as those reference points.

If you have young kids, then there's a good chance you know how deeply Minecrafted has penetrated their worlds, replacing or augmenting Legos (or other, lesser, building toys) and video games in general. It's more than that they&#

Don't know. I worked in the industry when Quake, Unreal, and if I'm being generous, maybe RenderWare and LithTech, were the only real middleware options, and most people still just rolled their own engines. I ultimately burned out

True! Though in this case, after months of fighting the problem, not so fun, and more a sign of my impending mental collapse :P

I was working on a system that was doing CSG of AI nav meshes. If enough floating point error crept in, eventually the a shared of edge of a navmesh would split apart and you'd be left with the AI walking around non-existent obstructio

Programming is a craft, game programming even more so. Passion runs high; people will work longer and harder for less money than at other jobs. The competition in the workplace and in the market is intense. Willful moderation can never be a

The question is utterly hyperbolic, that's why it's a straw man. Phrasing your answer in the form of a question does not magically grant rhetorical validity to your line of reasoning.

This has got to be the most pathetic strawman argument I've seen on HN in a long time. "BI doesn't work because it can't perfectly protect the most pathological outliers"? Ok. Did anyone say it would solve this scen

Sure, you could clone, or you could bring the ideas on Game Toilet [ https://gametoilet.wordpress.com/ ] to life instead.

I'm sorry. Can someone ELI5 how I buy into the DAO in the first place? I know if I can't figure out how to buy in I shouldn't own any, but humor me.

I've worked at both FB (monorepo) and Amazon (massively federated repo where you only check out tiny slices at a time; a huge package dependency system pulls things together), and I can testify that monorepo is great, and federated rep

So fired up! The good news is that there is more than one programmer in the world and we can spend time on both things.

Mostly inevitable, a little terrifying, but also some really creative use cases I'd never pondered there, especially highlighting the street when traffic is about to come through. There's probably a lot more interesting ideas to p

People who dig ditches work 10x harder than me, yet I make 10x more money than they do. So how does this fact fit into your bullshit story?

Since when is English considered a romance language? I thought it was majority Germanic in origin.

I don't know anything about animal (verbal) language. But I'm curious if there are any animals whose apparent language is advanced enough that zoologists may believe that the animals have a conceptual language similar to ours. If
