Next is not MacOS so I think it’s a real stretch to claim that means long term support! Perhaps some of this is normal but I think Apple have made little effort to avoid churn and it suits them to keep things changing.

Apple have had significant churn in dev tooling, languages, sdks, frameworks, chip architectures over the last couple of decades. Perhaps that is completely normal but it does mean developers are always struggling to keep up, and an app written for iOS 1.0 needs significant alterations if not a rewrite to work with later versions. Almost everything has been completely replaced, from language to frameworks to dev tooling like resources.
It makes me wonder if individuals like these should be limited from contributing, because they force a multitude of others out of the total pool of contributors.

Maybe they're doing more damage through their obsessive behavior as compared to a larger group of less enthusiastic members.
> It’s not necessarily lab created but it could have been leaked from a lab (which studies coronaviruses and bats) even if it wasn’t artificial.

I've heard this multiple times as a reasonable possibility, and yet it seems absurd if you think about it: are you trying to accuse someone of leaking into the environment a virus that actually comes from the environment? And how do you even prove something like that?

He wasn't trashing the fact they are going after insider trading, it's that they use lengthy jail time as a badge of winning. When there are better metrics and means of enforcement than endless jail-time.
Every time I see something like "Removes Human Error", I think of Nassim Taleb's Antifragile. This drive to remove errors is likely flawed from the start since we, as humans, are error prone. It's interesting from a theoretical standpoint but there will be human error, regardless of the language. Errors are part of human existence.

With the title being a bit misleading (this isn't about 3D), the key takeaways are that two cameras/lens will allow:

1) Two different focal lengths/zoom levels without having to use digital zoom

2) Better low light quality due to twice as much information

3) Better depth analysis: quicker autofocus, blurred backgrounds, augmented reality
My mom liked so-called "clean cut" guys (military background), so she made my brother and I buzz our hair growing up. Now my hair is now over a foot long and her reaction is that I also look like a criminal.
For me (and the vast majority of people I know that did it) it was just to avoid going to a real barbershop.
Frys has a special place in my heart. It was where I got my first 80486 IBM laptop (with monochrome screen), my first Pentium CPU on its debut, where I got my first copy of Windows 95, and where I bought almost every PC parts for upgrades. I used to marvel at the motherboard and RAM that were displayed in the display behind the glass, and where I was able to get anything from soldering iron to cat5 cable to digital camera. I fondly remember watching Doom on a PC for the first time at Fry's with amazement. I'm saddened to see it go along with CompUSA, Egghead, RadioShack (original), Toys R Us, and even ComputerLand back in the 80's (where I bought Apple IIgs).
Part of the problem here is this kind of training has become “an industry”. There is a positive feedback loop and people want to cache in.

To make more money you create demand. How do you create demand? You make it obligatory training.

This one is about devaluing a culture for political reasons. But there are other topics like coöperation, teamwork, time management, etc. occasionally there are good insights. Mostly it’s regurgitated bullshit that has a stamp of approval and ticks off a compliance box somewhere. It’s a goldmine.
It's not, but there appears to be no law that requires detailed email receipts from businesses, so it'd be expected they'd take the route that prioritizes their interests over those of their customers.

I think you're wrongly conflating enjoyment and agreement.

I subscribe to The Spectator, which is an exceptionally well-written, urbane and articulate equivalent to Fox News. I disagree with almost everything I read in it: it's Islamophobic, classist, popularist, chauvinistic, misogynist, and I occasionally throw it against the wall in disgust, but I _enjoy_ reading it, because it's well written and well argued. It's challenging, and it forces me much out of my comfort zone, and I enjoy having my thinking challenged, and I enjoy the silent arguments in my head with the authors.

Conversely (and ironically, given the source) I stopped reading The Guardian. I agree with most of the politics, but it's so _whiney_. It's often poorly written, poorly argued, and snipey.

The article suggests reading books you _enjoy_, not ones you agree with, and the difference is important.

> It turns out this limitation doesn’t matter in practice: 0x10FFFF (1,114,111 in decimal) is almost ten times as many representable codepoints as there are codepoints currently defined in the latest Unicode spec, so it’s not like we’re going to run out of bits any time soon.

Famous last words.
One factor seems missing: the deviation of Han's skills from that of the average pilot. Does C3PO take it into account in his likelihood? Do we take it into account in our probability of success?
Although I do get the point, it seems there's often something of that sort, a simplification, in that kind of bayesian reasoning.
Why print such a warning? For most projects, make -j65536 will be effectively equivalent to make -j, both of which are perfectly fine. Suppose you're on a system with more CPUs than you have build rules in your build system; you shouldn't print a warning just because someone does make -j$(nproc).
Incredible. Sounds like quite the ride. Congratulations on having such an experience.
My attempt to get back into blogging was successful enough that I should have performance tested things first. Note to self.

The most interesting thing here is not the mind reading, it is the miniaturization of computing and sparse data transfer. Neuralink off-loaded the computation to the sensor, sending back aggregate data snapshots. Usually you will need massive ASIC/FPGA computation banks with a lot of messy to handle the data transfer and readout but they took a shortcut bye sending only counts of spikes that exceeds a certain threshold.

There is nothing stopping you from using a cloth hangar. You just need to make sure it is impedance matched and properly sanitized for subdermal use. The signal will be much worse as a cloth hangar had gauge/diameter that is several magnitudes bigger than that of a neuron. Nothing here is particularly "novel" that it cannot be trivially replicated if you have the budget of one of the FAANGs. If you have 100million in capital, you can easily find poor neuroscience and EE PhDs who will be willing to work for you for <80K a year just for the opportunity to build something like this. The reason it is difficult and out of reach for smaller companies is because small amplifiers and electronic packages that can be subdermally implanted requires significant manufacturing capital as they fall under semiconductors and biomedical devices. Once the industry settle on a design expect the price to drop dramatically as the core chips and parts become commoditized.
That's supposing that said GUI are stable enough relatively to how often you use them.

Beside that, it still entails that you've to "wire your brain" so that it integrate the twisted specific ways they map on "the real world", with no guarantee that they won't change for external reasons, nor that there will be any sort of consistency across applications.
Is it faster than deepspeed zero 3?
I was in search of a bare bones engine like Love that could deploy to many platforms. I didn't need a full-blown game dev environment, and I was leaning towards a coding heavy interface - no blueprints, drag-and-drop gui, etc. I found Defold, and I have been using it for about three months. I wonder how DragonRuby compares other than the Lua or Ruby choice as the scripting language. Defold does have more of an IDE/GUI to it, but you can stick to just coding. I program in many languages, so learning Ruby is not a big deal. I actually tried Ruby back in 2001. I liked the syntax. I'll have to try DragonRuby out, but I am afraid I'll wind up buying the Pro version to develop on Android. I don't like the yearly subscription model. I prefer buying a permanent license, and upgrade as I need it. The fact that DragonRuby costs money and is a subscription may just keep me on Defold. I will not know until I try it. I may surprise myself by falling in love with Ruby!
I’m really glad this exists and is open source. Two years ago I was working on a project that really could have benefitted from a strong ANN search engine but couldn’t find one. In the end I brute forced it (we only had 100k vectors to search, so with a few optimizations it was fine), but I always wished I could have solved it using something like this.
It is not really quicker on the GUI

Regular users rarely type in commands. Either reverse search or zsh/fish/bash auto completion makes it much easier to run something in one two key strokes compared to few clicks in a GUI. Also switching to mouse from keyboard constantly slowes you down.

The inefficiency of mouse as interface is best illustrated in Excel which has power user shortcuts for every menu item. Expert users will never use the mouse if they can avoid it for the same reason. IDEs and many other apps work the same way.

Finally for developers who hav to work with servers, You don't have the luxury of working with GUI, you will have to learn these kind of commands anyway, using these locally on your desktop is more convenient.

The whole premise is absurd - it wasn't an experiment, it was rational and reasonable response to a highly unusual situation, which by all accounts was extremely effective at keeping COVID infections minimal (at least, in places where it was done properly, in tandem with other public health measures).
And if it proved anything it's that most businesses had been unnecessarily skeptical about the ability of their workers to telecommute. There's no reason to think the logical outcome of all this is that we'd all want to move to working from home full-time, but there's every reason to believe a lot more people will take advantage of the flexible that doing so brings now that we know how feasible it is.
I had the same question as we do mostly PHP; I'm guessing it just uses Ruby as the host software.

I installed the Gem and was able to acquire a URL but kept getting an error:

An error has occurred: {"stack":"Error: socket hang up\n at Socket.<anonymous> (http.js:1271:45)\n at Socket.emit (events.js:64:17)\n at Array.0 (net.js:825:12)\n at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:126:26)","message":"socket hang up"}

But probable cause is still not the same as searching everybody. If you refuse consent, you can challenge in court whether they really had probable cause.
MySQL already has three maintained patchsets or complete forks, and there's no reason to believe any of them would die if Oracle stopped open sourcing MySQL tomorrow. Percona Server and MariaDB are drop-in compatible, while Drizzle went in a different direction. All three projects have some pre-Oracle MySQL developers working on them.

Far be it from me to discourage someone from adopting Postgresql instead of MySQL, but there are other options that retain compatibility with mysql-only apps.
a complex DSL that few programmers bother to learn

What? Plenty of CL programmers learn LOOP. It's unbelievably convenient; as far as I'm concerned it is a masterpiece of usability. An abomination? Perhaps. Crack is an abomination and it's a masterpiece of usability too. But I don't care. I'm not a purist, and LOOP makes my work easier and more fun.

Complex DSL? Complex to specify, perhaps. Complex to implement? Not that bad. I wrote a pretty big subset of it for Parenscript and it wasn't hard. Complex to use? Not at all.

The reason many Lispers dislike LOOP is that it's un-Lispy. It's a foreign body implanted in the Lisp organism. Interestingly, though, CL's immune system doesn't reject it, meaning that it interoperates fine with everything else. If there were an impedance mismatch, LOOP wouldn't have lasted.
Happiness, is a warm socket.
Hey mtogo, good question.

We often develop sites on our laptops. The more complicated sites are, the more there is to sync around (databases, dependencies to install, version control commits, &c). Showoff is a quick way for us to get feedback from clients or each other without adding overhead to our development process.
I work remotely 100% of the time (and not always in the same location). The use case for me is to quickly show a feature to coworkers without having to commit/push to a remote server. Especially if the feature needs immediate feedback and is not completely baked/finished.
You can actually extend the functionality quite easily to create a Trello like task management tool.

Not only that, but the reduction in frustration when transforming a bunch of text (say, using macros) will compensate even more than the actual time spent. There's a joy to be had when doing menial tasks with vim, a joy from wizardry.

The UK soccer league is the most popular sport in the UK, and has a huge following elsewhere in Europe as well as in South America and Asia. For many of the biggest teams, the majority of their fan-base is outside of the UK. For many people, playing or watching soccer is their primary leisure activity. There are 6-10 premier league games screened each weekend across a variety of channels, not to mention the other leagues (which also have huge followings going down into the 2nd, 3rd and 4th leagues) and the various regional and international competitions that UK teams compete in, as well as the untold hours of soccer-related programming that isn't showing games.

I don't think the comparison with a hypothetical reality TV show is very meaningful.

The only threat to oil is government subsidies going to renewables instead of oil. I'm not saying that solar technologies aren't important, but the technology will fall into place when the money is there. Solar is already able to compete with oil with subsidies favoring oil, so solar technology is already good enough. Of course better tech is better, but we don't need better tech to kill oil, we need better distribution of funds.
Hmm, It is exaggerated... Based on public information - there was a TV production partner (Endemol), but they pulled out last month.
Great article that explains the basic technology and it's potential impact. Great link to send to some of your non-tech friends.
i accept your reason. Maybe i'll replace it with some roaring soundfx in the new version.
Hrm. My understanding is that inflation can affect anything we attach value to (and that broadly speaking "value" is also an abstract concept).

Suppose the price of oil (or any other primary resource) jumps 50%, increasing the nominal cost of everything that has been made from it. Your gold backed dollar now can be exchanged for less things than before, irrespective of the total supply of gold in the world.

Does that make sense? I'm woefully under read in economics.
".xxx has meaning and value (parents can block the whole TLD for their kids)."

Seeing as how I run a service that happens to also be the largest parental content filtering service in the world (amongst other things), I can tell you that's simply not going to be an effective technique for parents. It'd be nice if it was, but it isn't.
Twilio, Msgme.com
Forgive me if I'm being dense, but what motive would I have to pay X dollars a year for the privilege of being easy to block?

I'm sure they wouldn't.

My assumption, which could be wrong, is that many adults want to access porn websites, but don't want their kids to. For them, requiring a password to visit any .xxx site would be very user friendly.

So whether the porn industry wanted it, if the market wanted it, it would happen.
You can do that, but loose checking for truthiness is pretty pythonic. It's weird to put "true" in there if you think you're checking a boolean property. If you know you're not, then you realize you need to call the function and then you can remove the "is".
Sorry if I was unclear. That's one of my favorite shortcuts actually. And I write my own Bash aliases and scripts to reduce terminal fatigue.

I just don't devote much time to mastering text editors. In fact I've had to change editors so often that mastery may have been unrealistic anyway.
Maybe, but Bitcoin is getting more mainstream so I think there is also more space for people getting educated about it and understand the real implications it has. As far as I can tell, most people in my circle that invest in bitcoin really don't understand that its polluting, or that the KYCs are abysmal or the existence of mixers etc and that in the we need laws and regulations anyway. They just hop on board the 'us against the financial system', transparency is good, etc etc bandwagon, whatever utopian dream they have without actually doing the research.
There is more of this kind of right wing politics in the US, yet we lead the world in broken families. It’s almost like it doesn’t work.
They could just sell them on the open market (an At The Market offering).

> One layer of crops already wants a full dose of sunlight

Is that actually true? Crops are grown in a pretty wide range of locations, and sometimes the same crops are grown in different locations with quite different insolation. Surely there must be at least some set of [location,crop] pairs where the crop needs less than the full amount of sunlight available in that location?
Yes it is a mailinator clone. I hope to provide a better service with more features like auto-forward, private inboxes and stuff like that.

Ad revenue. Mailinator claims they get a million emails a day, that's a lot of money in ad revenue. My goal is to dethrone mailinator as the de facto temp email provider.
None of those things require the augmented reality aspect of this: you don't need to place math and physics lessons into your local environment. They'd do just as well with VR, and indeed it doesn't sound to me like they'd do MUCH worse with just a plain old screen. What is it that you're imagining we couldn't do with a tablet that has swipe gestures to rotate the demo around all axes?

An electronics teaching kit might not work on a tablet (but would in VR), and note that any kind of really fluid manipulation of a virtual environment is going to involve a whole additional technology that gives precise locations of your hands (at least). The HoloLens allows a few simple gestures, not the ability to handle virtual objects in many degrees of freedom.
I, apparently unlike many others here, think this case has standing. Yes, Griddy provides transparency into its pricing, but is it even reasonable to sell something so volatile to everyday people? Something that requires constant vigilance, lest you end up with a $10k crater in your checking account, is a pretty sketchy business no? This isn’t equities trading, this is a basic need that’s being sold here. Something typically boring and constant, made incredibly spiky.

I am reminded of the predatory lenders that marketed sub-prime mortgages to the masses in the ‘00s. Yes, you can be moderately cognizant of the risks and naively sign up thinking you’re getting a good deal —- but is it ethical on the seller’s part to peddle something that has the potential to bankrupt swaths of everyday people if they’re is a once in-an-every 10-20 year event?
