> Then why should you care about what the makers of Factorio do? As I said I find it very interesting how people respond to it. This whole thread is an example why. That makes it interesting. Why Factorio? Why not 'Farming Simulator

I don't doubt that it's worth the money. I just dislike their attitude. If it was a perfect fit for me, I'd swallow it and get it, sure. But thruth is I'm only a very occasional puzzle gamer. So i'd probably not pla

You know what else is interesting? Their "no sales" sales philosophy. For me its the reason never to buy it. I actually revolt when I hear their reasons. I feel like it comes down to: we are willing to hurt our options for making

Is it truly the only thing they could do? They could force phones to use different defaults. They could ban preinstallation of their apps. They could force preinstallation of competing apps. They could throttle them so their services get sl

I would be interested in a we hat replacement, but as soon as I read ethereum I thought: nah. Cryptocurrencies are just not compatible with mainstream consumption. Why? Because I get paid in euros. And you might get paid in dollars. And a w

I don't think this is going to be a popular opinion, but what is the use of designating something as UNESCO world heritage? Doesn't the protection it would require keep budget away from other things, like COVID? I understand that

I had this problem as well with a simple game i made. what i did instead is to just randomize the movement a little. And that was really enough. Making them any smarter would have made the game really short.

Whatsapp surely doesn't contact anyones contacts to collect bills or harass people in other ways. The contacts have not agreed to be spammed for these purposes. Therefore it is understandable Google doesn't want you in their store

Close enough. I work for a 'body shop' and I'm currently working for a european government client.

You know something about this specific case. I do not. I hope you land the kind of role you want, if you dont already have it yet.
521.
by timwaagh 7y ago
Perhaps, but perhaps the role just wasn't fit for you. A lot of 'senior dev' roles are much more about programming language trivia and much less about leadership.

It is pretty ugly what is happening now. france seizing european masks. the us seizing french masks. dutch ventilators getting seized in the us. we're supposed to be allies. let's stop this now. Perhaps we can let nato take charge

honestly, if i were a manager and stuff wasn't getting done I would want to see what was going on. And that's a pretty common situation when people are implementing complex things like software.

I hope not and if it does, I hope Kamernet goes down with it. Your company is taxing students for essentially nothing but an introduction. And it has been doing that for decades. Not that I would normally mind your existence, but I do now I

Well yeah people dying does put a bit of pressure on things. Roche hasn't been forced though. Perhaps they decided their strategic relationship with Dutch governments wasn't worth compromising over this.

Look I don't think it's the medium really. HN is quite similar to Reddit. Reddit I wouldn't consider to be that healthy as it's really driven by strong politics and it's sometimes impossible to express an opinion re

If you put in 'some' or even 'most' you might be right. Not saying I agree but it's theoretically possible. But it's too deep a theory to fit all cases of such a broad category because it is not consistent with

That makes good sense. ASD is a catch all term for those with certain symptoms that are unexplained by other factors. Schizophrenia and anxiety disorders would be some of those other factors. Not sure about ADHD.

I have recently started to use it again as a tool for grepping across multiple lines. It's distributed with every Linux. So it will survive. Maybe it's already dead as a programming language though, certainly because Pascal is als

I wouldn't recommend either because i find it to be impossible to learn physics or other complex ideas from an audio stream. But i don't think feynmann was at his core disrespectful towards women, regardless of his intermittent us

Economically you need to take into account that a lot of people barely get sick from flu. Certainly not two weeks a year.

If you guys are handing out bailouts I'd like one too. I don't pay any taxes in the US and I don't do anything particularly useful. I can guarantee that absolutely zero US jobs will be saved by bailing me out. I am not bankru

they are airlines, not banks. They are important but we need not fear collapse if they disappear. No doubt some will survive, somehow. Saving them would not be a waste of money, but the money can be better spent. For example on disease cont

They tried that in Iran. The result: massive inflation. The system cannot handle such a massive spike in demand especially if production is under strain from covid. It surprises me Romney is for it because he was a politician back when ahme

Yes, most likely. But it can be more or less severe depending on whether we manage to contain the 'first wave'

Yes there will be deep social and economic impacts. We wont get out of this unscathed. I think that's obvious. No i don't mean locking people in for a year. That measure should be localized and temporary.

I don't think the chinese government is intentionally lying about the data. If we can assume their numbers are trustworthy enough, we can infer their measures were effective. Of course, if it happens it will be a bitter pill to swallow
