Isn't that called quoting people?

I mean, Unreal Engine and CRYEngine are source-available if not open-source. I'm not sure that it's so far-fetched to call for the open-sourcing of game technology like engines.

I'm not totally versed in Swift. In the example provided is it ambiguous because the closure captures `count` and count itself is being modified by the method calling the block? I don't understand why this is an example of an unsa

That seems even less reasonable to me. You're saying that you use snopes regularly, presumably because of their dedication to accurate reporting, and are frustrated that you can't correct on "something as trivial as 'sha

it is wild to me how many people are in this thread saying "Snopes is partisan" or "Snopes is biased" or "Snopes is not a real fact checker" and who are also entirely unable to provide any actual evidence. A li

by zaksoup 8y ago
Wait. Your issue with snopes is that they said "there is no meaningful evidence that [x] is true" and you're mad that when you said "but I have anecdata" they weren't interested? that's not how this works.

Seems to me like one of the key differences is in how much data is actually collected. DDG claims in their blog post that they send no PII to apple, they're just using apple to provide a map view and search data. I'm not even sure

I've only had beyond meat sausage but impossible burger at Umami Burger in Oakland is far and away the best meat substitute I've ever had. I'm looking forward to seeing impossible meat in supermarkets because it blows beyond

I think the best interpretation of their point is that at some point the breakthrough was questioning a fundamental assumption. I think the point about matching real neurons was just to give credence to their hunch that backprop is not quit

I agree, but have one nitpick - it's not that the free market can't sort this out, but that this is exactly the solution the free market is set up to organically create. Can't afford the tech? Sell your identity to marketers!

It seems to me that no matter what happens two classes of users are going to be created: those that can pay for security and those that cannot. Ultimately Apple's pricing means all their users are first class - hence security as a brea

I've found that favoring full time pair programming and not reviewing work that was soloed upon unless the author explicitly asked for it because of self-identified uncertainty or caution has resulted in a better workflow with little t

You’re right that employers must make up the difference by law, and I’m sure that many workers with tipped wages may take home more than their minimum wage equivalent, however that is not the norm, and the tipping wage has significantly wor

by zaksoup 8y ago
One thing to keep in mind is that in many states tipped minimum wage is significantly lower than hourly minimum wage. As low as $2.50 an hour. Tipping is bad for everybody, including the workers involved, but framing tipping as purely a res

That's a fine assumption to be made by ordinary people but I think it's quite fair to respond to somebody commenting on hacker news as if they have more than a lay-person's understanding the technology industry. Are you just

What about citations proving that programming is dry, tedious, or boring? I am under no obligation to engage a comment made in bad faith as if it wasn’t.

I agree that programming is very different today than it was in the 50s and 60s but I absolutely disagree that it was high paying or elite. Programming was considered a step above secretarial work[0] and women were actively encouraged to en

Cynical, or wrong? There's a clear history of women in software engineering when it was considered a low-class low-skill job. The first "programmers" in the modern sense of the word were women at NASA. The lead software devel

This doesn't seem true. What about having voting rights on board members/company direction? How do worker-owned co-ops even function if this is the 'whole point of owning part of a company'. Why do we take 'maximize

as a Oakland resident with family in NYC I couldn't agree with this more.

Is that a sign of illegitimate fake-spotting, or a sign of just how widespread fake reviews are? Personally I'm quite inclined to believe an extremely high fail rate.

Is there a unified library of podcasts and ratings on Android? As far as I know there's a number of apps that maintain their own libraries but nothing unified across the whole platform and built into the OS like iTunes.
