It won't die. Its not a problem to skip auth checking if at some point MS tries to use kill switch (hopefully EU would make that fully legal in EU if that's not provided by the company).

As for feature parity, there are mods backporting modern features back to 1.7.10.

Java is also portable to all the consoles, its just Microsoft did use that as an argument to try to kill the Java Edition. Nobody prevented Microsoft from adding bedrock like modding to Java Edition.

The only thing that needs to happen is the one single stable mod API for Minecraft Java Edition. The incompatibility between Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, etc. is terrible, but from what I know about some of the folks involved this won't happen as they cannot constructively discuss the matters.

The more popular HN gets the more clickbait-y, attention-seeking and polarising titles and articles we're getting. I also think the more popular it is the less weight each down-vote/flag has, we will see more and more of such content being posted.

I and most of the people I know or work with really don't care whether something is/was made by a man or a woman. IMO that's totally unnecessary part of the title and its some kind of the usual "clickbait" you see in the news titles everywhere.

BTW: I was used to seeing "one-man" being used everywhere regardless whether the person in context was a man or a woman and only today I've discovered that both one-woman and one-person are valid by couple of UK/US dictionaries (even the older ones). Maybe that's one of the reason why some non-native speakers see this as an clickbait/attention seeking.

It's US centric and US-only but the title doesn't say so, especially for the brand that's not usually associated with the US

I love this website! It was the place I've understood how A* is working in early 2010s when I started getting into more advanced "standalone" (w/o GameMaker/TGF) gamedev.

Have you checked the logs or tried submitting the issue? If you haven't they won't probably even know about such an issue and this won't be fixed. To put this in context if you would be paying for this, and have such a problem, you would for sure either submit the issue or cancel/refund the license and maybe put some feedback somewhere.

Well, there're things like React's JSX, CoffeeScript, TypeScript and all of the fricking Babel stuff, all require some kind of transpiling (or how babel names it, compiling), and probably that is what OP means.

PS: Luckily, I'm not a frontend dev :)

No, around 6-7 Python developers including me, we've used it in two different projects. Also it's probably worth mentioning that I'm not author of that lib, my die-hard anti Java collegue created it by just reading about DI, consulting with other collegue that was using Spring more-or-less since high school and researching existing DI libraries. I myself did some programming in Java before that, but it was mainly hobbist gamedev, later commercial Android and light Java backend work using Spring (that's where I've seen it used for first time) intermixed with around 7 years of professional Python backend programming in two different companies. Now after 10 years I'm an Java engineer, I've had enough of using dynamic languages to write moderately complex web applications.

I still love using Python for REPL, small scripts or prototyping, and I think having things like mypy is great as it takes away much of the burden without being a huge obstacle in some situations where you really need to use duck typing. Also I'm thankful that it teached me early that the debugger is one of the developer's best friends and the best documentation is just reading the code.

DI is not a pattern to provide the defaults but a pattern that allows you to separate dependency initialisation from your callable's responsibilities, which often is a complex graph of inner dependencies that you would need to provide/initialise in some way, it also can handle whether you want to have single instance of such dependency for your single call, request scope, thread scope or process scope. Also injecting some defaults from configuration object or some properties/setting file is very nice feature.

Also stop being so religious and defensive when somebody mentions things that are not standard in your language of choice as nobody forces you to use this.

I was sucessfully building very testable and maintanable codebases (~50 kloc) in Python while also using very small in-house built DI framework and it was subjectively (by me and my collegues) much better than what we had before while we followed standard Python patterns and ways Python frameworks teach you to follow.

There are mods that make map smaller, make dupes move faster or add tiles that allow them to move faster. You can also train the dupes' athletics skill by forcing them to use the manual generators.

The Spaced Out DLC also has smaller asteroids, it changed the game so it now requires more "inter-planetary" automation. I highly recommend trying the game with the DLC, but I'm not sure if Steam allows refunds for DLCs.

HackerNews represents just a part of the customers that use products like Adobe suite, so that's pretty normal that majority of people give shit about such things and just use what they were given.

By the way, changing processes and software in corporations is very hard thing to do as there's so much management/staff/human/distribution issues on the way.

Well two things/questions:

1. Can we somehow get Mozilla/Firefox ban/de-list the extension from the extension store so Avast doesn't get the user-base this extension has/had?

2. We should be able to get the author to publish the source code of the latest version licensed under GPLv3, any way to do this, except asking on Twitter/LinkedIn?

What about the Google Play Services as a whole? Most of the Android apps don't work without these (so you can't for example use LineageOS without GApps), does the act in any way reference such things? What about contactless payment without "Google's approval" which require hiding the root, hiding the fact that the system is unsigned or has unlocked bootloader.

Yes for real salary ranges with detailed parts like base, bonus, equity and type of contract, but hard NO for the broad ranges I can see everywhere.

In my country (Poland) it's not an unusual thing to hear after the interview that the salary from the posting is with some vague bonus which "nobody ever seen".

I don't want to waste my time (hours or sometimes even days/weeks) with some convoluted multipart interviews and offline "coding exercises" only to hear that I would get just a lower/small part of the range which nobody ever gets from the start as they're there only to encourage you to apply.
