Anyone have links to papers describing how GI works in Unreal and Unity?

I never understood and that can happen. What have they been doing for 5-15 years?

I can understand performance anxiety being a factor.. but 60-90 minutes and still can't answer FizzBuzz?

Do you have any example of something that is nearly impossible to do?

Nice..

I didn't read the whole thing so maybe it's addressed, but from what I understand it sends packets to both private and public IPs of the person you want to talk to, and use the first one you get an answer from.

What if the private IP from the other peer is in another NAT, but in your local NAT, you have another peer with that same private IP? He would answer you, and would would establish communication with the wrong peer?

Probably would need an extra step to validate the peer's public IP address is also the same?

That would be nice, something like user accounts. Would be useful not just for this. You have one iPad for the family? You probably don't care about those games for 2 years old when you are using the phone yourself - just switch to your account which doesn't contain these apps!

Unless that's already a thing I'm not aware (now using Android)?

I've worked at companies that have offices in Toronto, Canada (where I currently live) while their main offices are abroad (US and Curaçao).

They seem to have have a lot of problems with us having different laws and regulations than them (eg: healthcare, holidays) and we're only one country. How does that work when everyone is from different countries?

How do you know when taking a job if you will be working with smart or dumb people? I'm not having good luck and want to work with smart people...

FYI the link to 'remote work has certain challenges' is broken, has an extra parenthesis at the end.

Makes sense. Thanks!

How does it work with browsers? You have to allow all outgoing traffic to port 80/443 regardless of host/ip? Or be asked every time you visit a different website if you want to allow it or not?

Couldn't he donate a lot to causes he believes in, but that his foundation doesn't deal with?

Make a request. It it fails, try in 1 sec. It it fails, try again in 2sec. If it fails, try again in 4 sec. etc. That's exponential backoff. You can also randomize the delay a bit so that if the problem is on your end (so everyone started failing at the same time), you don't get ALL clients retrying at the exact same times.

This is better than trying immediately when it fails or after a set delay. If it hasn't been working in the last 10 tries, why would you expect the 11th request to work. Just wasting resources.

Might just have been a faulty CPU or motherboard. Happens :(

Just for his foundation, as of 2013 he had donated 28 billions.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_%26_Melinda_Gates_Foundat...

>As of May 16, 2013, Bill Gates had donated US$28 billion to the foundation.[1][9]

Apparently he is worth 90 billions. Let's assume he has donated 2 more billions in the last 4 years to make it 30 billion. That means he donated 25% of his worth to his foundation. I'm sure he has donated money to other things.

What does that mean?

>For the longest Unity required you to use 3rd party modules for a camera.

What do you mean? How can there not be cameras? How then can you view a scene without that 3rd party module?

Nice. I need to find a job like that. I moved out to a new province and accepted the first job I got offered and I didn't like it.

Then I got offered and accepted a new job which seemed nice but it's just so boring.

I need to be more picky seeing how companies like Buffer exist. I always just take the first offer I get because I don't like interviews and I've been lucky enough to get a job offer after the first interview I do when looking, but it's pretty stupid in retrospect. It's a gamble that has long lasting effects.

Buffer seems really nice! I like how transparent they are with salaries and that it's fully remote. What technologies are you guys using?

Can you get charged if that happens? Sure you were hosting it, but you didn't know? Do you really have to look at all the pictures? What about privacy?

Isn't that how you lose a monopoly?

I think it's the Bay-Bloor one that was removed?

Typescript is very similar to ES6 (new JavaScript). You can probably learn both with TS. You might not learn the weird JS quirks if you have to go back to ES5 at some point though.

Ah! I see, thanks.

But why does it need to be public?

In the US, you register with the party no? So the party you register with your information, and they can do what you said

> go to their houses, send them things, and know for sure they're only hitting up people in their party, so as not to mobilize the other side.

It's not about the careless programmer IMO. It's that there was nothing in place to make sure the data was secure. Or if there was, it wasn't effective.

>The complaint goes on to allege that Alexander shared the records with Kalanick and Emil Michael, an Uber executive who was fired earlier this week. According to the complaint, the men "discussed the records among themselves and with other staff at Uber, speculating that Plaintiff had made up the brutal rape in collusion with a rival of Uber in India to undermine Uber's business."

Couldn't find anything in the news. Maybe someone related to Y Combinator that HN is paying tribute to?

I think because it's insinuating women talk too much? I didn't listen though, so who knows how it was said

I know this works, but how come we can see the output of pv when it is redirected to /dev/null? Maybe I just don't understand how pipes and redirection works since I rarely use Linux :(
