The document says 1994 and diablo was released 31st of December 1996(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_%28video_game%29). So it was very delayed. I guess that the game underwent some huge changes to justify this delay.
> Our company was saying, "We're going to take on this developer, Condor, and we're going to publish their game. It's called Diablo." And for a couple of months we were working on it not knowing that it was turn-based. When it came out that it was turn-based, we said, "No, that sucks."
> We actually took a vote. They said, "Raise your hand if you would buy this game if it were turn-based." I think two people raised their hands. Then they said, "Raise your hand if you would buy this game if it were real-time." Everybody raised their hands. Allen went in and called Dave Brevik and said, "Look, you've got to make this real-time."
This sounds quite different from all the things I have heard about South Korea and the general impression I have of the society and the people. Do you have some sources to back these claims up?
I am currently in the early stages of starting a project and I want to use react+flux. However with the different variants of flux finding the one that is the best fit and is going to be maintained a year from now isn't an easy task.
I think I might end up using the facebook variant as I'm fairly certain that they will continue to maintain it.
I see your point in hobbyist vs. enterprise, but Python is already used in multiple big corporations and I don't think I have seen any result of it being a problem. If anything, the language gets more and more attention due to its spreading popularity on all levels. Isn't that just for the good of the language?
As I mentioned it is already used in several big corporations. From your point of view - is it a problem right now?
Great question! I recently launched a startup where we ended up using Paypal because we simply couldn't find any good alternatives. It is a huge drawback from our point of view and we really want an alternative. There just doesn't seem to be one.
We wanted to set up a payment flow where a consumer would transfer the money to us, and after the delivery of the product we would transfer it to the seller. Strripe offers something that can accomodate this flow, but not internationally. It is only available in the US.
There seems to be a huge gap in the market here. Is there something missing from my exploration of alternatives?
> "[...]from next week will offer rewards of as much as 1 million won ($905) to people who provide information on Uber’s services. "
> "The maximum penalty for Uber’s alleged legal violation is a two-year prison sentence or a fine of as much as 20 million won[...]"
Can anyone clarify this for me?
I read it as two years in prison or pay a 20.000$ fine. The difference between two years in prison and 20.000$ seems very large to me. It seems slightly illogical to me if this is the case.
I recently had a use case for this where I needed a naively created bag of words along with the frequency of words. Having Counter made this extremely easy as I could simply split the string on whitespaces and pass the result to a Counter object.
Another useful feature is that you can take the intersection of two Counter objects. It's a really nice data structure to have!
I've had the exact same concerns as the person you replied to. I just want to make sure since the title differs from the one you stated. Is this the book you were talking about: http://www.amazon.com/JavaScript-Good-Parts-Douglas-Crockfor...
And how/why did the book improve your opinion about the language?
I might be wrong but isn't that a faulty argument. That's the same as saying that you pay tax in the US(or any other counter) and you therefore condone of all the behavior of said country? Or saying that if you use any Google product you promote corporate monopoly?
There's quite a way from paying for a service such as Github to promoting misogyny.
I can see how you could make it a valid argument like that. Thanks for elaborating.
Do you think that not using services from companies with a monoculture is the most effective way of furthering the cause? I'm all for more diversity in the technology and startup sector, but I do believe that the cause should, and eventually will, be solved by dialogue and focus on the issue - not by silently boycutting the companies. Or am I missing some part of the picture?
