null | trout_fucker | null | >there wouldn't be problems like staying employed as a programmer past age 35
There are no problems staying employed as a programmer past the age of 35, 45, or 55.
The problems for 45+ is usually that their skill sets are usually outdated and they have no desire to keep them up, while also wanting 5x the pay of someone who's 25 but needing most of the same training. Those who don't let their skills stagnate usually have no problems and many companies will welcome the expertise. It really doesn't have much to do with age itself.
Adding to that, programming is extremely mentally taxing and many burn out and move into other positions. I love what I do, but I sure hope I am not writing code when I'm 45-50.
35 is pure exaggeration. If you can't get employed as a 35yr old programmer with experience, then there is something seriously wrong with your personality and you will probably have problems staying employed in any professional job.

null | Dentosal | null | > Very impressive. What about resolving conflicting states between subgroups? (non-adversarial conflicts) Say 2 players both have a 1-shot kill ability. From both players p.o.v., they fire before getting hit. Who wins? Then imagine a subgroup is close to player 1, while another subgroup is close to player 2. Now entire groups disagree about the state. Lots of interesting problems.
The player who issued the command first wins. I guess that the engine has at least microsecond-precision timestamps in game time. Moreover, in Starcraft 2 some abilities have a projectile, so it is completely possible that both units die. This is quite common.
As far as I know, the game engine is completely deterministic. A game is only initial state (where the location of players is randomized), and a list of simple state transitions. Because the engine can order the events by timestamp, it becomes quite simple to reject invalid actions.

They also cost a lot of money, and add even more latency. When two clients are directly connected, the latency is equal between them, which is kind of important in a really fast paced games.

null | MINIMAN10001 | null | Had to actually read up on interface on [stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2866987/what-is-the-definition-of-interface-in-object-oriented-programming)
It seems depending on the language the implementation of interfaces is different but the definition in the context of OOP stays the same.
>In object oriented programming, an interface generally defines the set of methods (or messages) that an instance of a class that has that interface could respond to.
Then you have java specific knowledge
>What adds to the confusion is that in some languages, like Java, there is an actual interface with its language specific semantics. In Java, for example, it is a set of method declarations, with no implementation, but an interface also corresponds to a type and obeys various typing rules.
Then you have why I was unaware of the term
>In other languages, like C++, you do not have interfaces.
Lastly the info on c++ "interface"
> A class itself defines methods, but you could think of the interface of the class as the declarations of the non-private methods. Because of how C++ compiles, you get header files where you could have the "interface" of the class without actual implementation. You could also mimic Java interfaces with abstract classes with pure virtual functions, etc.
Which if I understand one common use of C++ headers. They can fit the definition of interface. | null | 0 | 1491271794 | False | 0 | dfsrec2 | t3_637m7q | null | null | t1_dfsqnm9 | null | 1493775316 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | tech_tuna | null | True, but look at what's happened to manufacturing jobs in the US. Factory jobs used to be plentiful and paid livable wages. Honestly, it's not boding well for anyone. Automation is replacing human labor in China (and elsewhere).
The big question is, what happens 50 years from now when the global population has doubled but the number of jobs has decreased by 50%?
Here in the US, driverless cars could replace the most common job in the united states within the next decade: https://medium.com/basic-income/self-driving-trucks-are-going-to-hit-us-like-a-human-driven-truck-b8507d9c5961

null | comradeswitch | null | It's going to depend on your specific application. This is going to work for discrete-valued metrics regardless of the parameterization of the underlying space. I'm not seeing an intuitive way to generalize this to real-valued metrics, which is an important consideration.
If you have a high number of dimensions, without doing using an implementation of quadtrees etc. that take advantage of sparsity, you're going to end up with a very inefficient structure from a memory standpoint. If your metric is discrete or can be discretized without much error, then this might be a good choice. With the exception of Manhattan distance on discrete-valued points, though, I don't think this structure would be a good choice in very many cases where Euclidean/Manhattan distances are appropriate precisely because the resulting distances will be real-valued.

null | sacundim | null | > Would you have known to use a constant time comparison function?
What attack against **password storage and verification** relies on a timing side channel? I'm not aware of any, but I'd love to hear if you know some.
The timing side channel attacks I know of are against message authentication codes, where the attacker that doesn't know the key tries to forge a message/tag pair for a message of their choice. By submitting tag guesses and observing how long the server takes to reject them, they can gradually guess increasingly longer prefixes of the correct tag for the message they want to forge a tag for. [This page](https://codahale.com/a-lesson-in-timing-attacks/) explains it well enough.
In password guessing attacks, however, the attacker is trying to guess a password that, when processed by the password verification function, will produce the same verification code as what the defender has stored. This is *very different* from the MAC timing attack scenario:
* In a MAC timing attack, the attacker chooses a message, and tries to guess the tag that corresponds to it. Variable-time equality comparisons help the attacker because the variable rejection times allow the attacker to estimate the length of the tag prefix that they guessed successfully. The attacker can easily leverage this to improve their tag guesses, because if you have determined that the first five bytes of the target tag are `ff 2e 56 a1 d8`, then thereafter you only try tags that start with those five bytes.
* In a password guessing attack, the defender chooses a tag, and the attacker tries to guess a password that scrambles to that tag. Variable-time equality comparisons don't help here, because knowing that `password1`'s hash matches the first five bytes of the stored verification code doesn't help the attacker improve their password guess.
Note however that there's nothing wrong with using constant-time equality comparisons, and it's better to be safe than sorry, so it's certainly sensible to implement such a comparison instead of trying to reason out all of the possible attacks if it saves you time.

null | FatherStorm | null | Yeah, the "University" requirement is bullshit to start with. I went to Univ, MO ~ Rolla, one of the real good engineering schools. I did 2 years of a double major of Com-Sci and Chemistry. I dropped out because they did not really teach what was truly relevant in the Comp-Sci space. I learned what I needed in my own, and am a senior engineer at this point. I got the leg up on PHP by learning it while it was just a "toy" language before it became a "requirement". Degrees mean fuck-all when compared to actually being a good developer. I have met more self-taught developers who could think with real agility, and develop from scratch than I have met those with the degrees that could do the same. I have a friend that has his master's and, sorry, but give hime rough parameters and expect him to sketch up the entire framework from scratch is not going to happen. Give him exact parameters, and all the code will be fully PSR2/3 compliant, but it will only be to exact spec. Give me a rough idea of what you are trying to do that hasn't been done before, and I will have you a working prototype by tomorrow morning. True development is done in the skeletons of new species, anyone can clothe a fully specced barbie doll.

Second off, the topic of the whole H1B visa debate isn't about who's better than who. It's about H1B visas being exploited and abused outside their original intention, especially to replace American workers with foreign contractors getting paid a fraction of their American counterparts' wages.
Your company might be paying you $200k+ now, but don't think you're immune.

I don't play so many games any more, but the days of multiplayer games having a server mode built in to the client seem to be, at best, waning, with "online play" on a centrally run server the model du jour.
The classic shift in that regard was Blizzard's battle.net; when they re-released Warcraft II oh so many years ago now, they switched from player-hosted servers to Blizzard-hosted servers.
It's a shame, in some ways, as those games have a maximum lifetime that's at the whims of the publisher's willingness to keep paying for bandwidth to host them, but it totally eliminates the need to worry about navigating NATs for p2p play.
