Define failure?


Using the name and legacy of a good game to market a different game that is basically nothing like its predecessors in spirit. Diablo 3 is Jar Jar Binks to the original Star Wars trilogy.


They did the same to SC2. It was like the summer interns that wrote the plot had never actually played SC1.

(yes, I'm salty that I played through a huge chunk of a single-player campaign chasing "prophecies" in what had previously been a sci-fi setting, even if it was 50s psionics sci-fi).


So he had his hands on the wheel and took no action for 6 seconds while driving straight to the barrier. Doesn't make it look any better for the driver TBH.


Well, the Tesla had the same amount of visibility and drove straight into the barrier. Victim blaming doesn't get Tesla off the hook.


Tesla is a fucking computer. The dude that took his hands off is a human. One of those has actual intelligence. You don't get to blame user error on the computer because someone died.

He. Took. His. Hands. Off. The. Wheel.


> 6 seconds while driving straight to the barrier

You mentioned "straight" -- do we know that?

Is it possible that the car steered toward the barrier during those 6 seconds, like in this video? https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/8a0jfh/autopil...


> took no action for 6 seconds while driving straight to the barrier.

Did it say the 6 seconds was immediately prior to the crash.


I will see your 50 MPH catch and raise you 100: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX8EQXMtX8w

While OBJ's was impressive, I have seen even more crazy catches in Cricket and Baseball!


Funny thing when I thought of fantastic catches the first thing I thought about the first catch in that video of yours. I remembering seeing that live and I think that was the first time in cricket history someone consciously did that double step catch. It seems in recent days (I haven't followed much lately) that thing has become a lot more common even two players in tandem doing it. It's so interesting that once you know something's possible a lot more people can do it. But yeah that first one was special at points, both the reflex and the speed of thought to find a way to do this that never been done before. I think he single handedly raised the level of fielding in cricket by showing what's possible and that it can truly be a game changer in terms of producing result.


Funny thing. We in India pay regularly close to $1000 (oh the irony there) for a regular iPhone 7 - and they sell a lot here.


Yep, Australia too.

iPhone 7 32 GB

Australian price: AU$1,079 ... US Price: $649


No offence :P but we are paying > US$1000


No offence taken! That's pretty outrageous, do you know if they have a justification for that price in your country?


It's mostly due to custom duty on electronics and gadgets, which can be upwards of 25%


256 gig iPhone7 in Australia is over $1000 USD


Turkey has long been one of the most expensive countries to buy an iPhone. The current model costs $1,200 there [0], and I remember that it was already the most expensive country 4 or 5 years ago.

We took ur jobs????


What???? I doubt this is true. Smoking has never been allowed in numerous Air India flights I have taken.


Agreed. I've taken various internal flights in India, Vietnam and the Philippines and none of them have allowed smoking, officially or "unofficially".


I get symmetric 200/200 for about $70/month in Bangalore, India. It's just a dumb pipe though (no included TV/phone, though I could also go for those).


At my third world home, I get a 125 Mbps fiber to home connection for around USD 74 per month.


I checked the benchmark code out. I have asked the author for more information. I am not sure if all the tests were limited to using only 1 core during the run. GOMAXPROCS=1 severely limits the Go version.

1 Go worker process can utilise all the cores in the server. I just want to get that clarified.


From the article:

> To be fair all the contestants (including Go) were running single worker process

That seems to imply that they were all limited to a single core.


A single worker process sounds like what it says it is. A single process containing possibly many OS threads. Just because it's a single process doesn't mean it won't use all cores. Where's the implication that process = core? GOMAXPROCS defaults to the number of cores in the system.


GOMAXPROCS is the number of cores used.


From a "dump-down" developer, why the throw away though? Proudly wear your opinion dude, you are entitled to it!
