The problem is not really one of the technology, though. At some level, all we are doing in making representational visuals is copying proportions, either spatially by indicating shape and form, or by samples of light. Where the source material doesn't have those proportions we need, the artist is filling in gaps. You can still iterate into The Night Watch from photos by using intermediate sketches; it's just a process.

A big part of why abstraction took off at nearly the same time as photography is that the differentiation of an artist from a camera had to come from somewhere. Artists that make art that looks like cameras are simply drawing on their strongest reference and not doing much additional decision making.
I personally find the art of children a lot more interesting than 99% of highly skilled adult artists who work in a "realistic" style.

Children's art usually has a freshness, originality, and vibrancy that's missing from highly skilled adult art.

I had to get over my worship of realism before I could appreciate it, though, and I find it very sad that most non-artists are still stuck at valuing art only by how realistic it looks.
Academics are not going to read anything that is not from a friend of theirs.

(1) Publish a pre-print of the algorithm. Use https://vixra.org/ , not arxiv. Take care to write it well; see other papers for examples; try it out on your friends.

(2) Submit to a conference in the area; be sure to cite your preprint when doing so. If you get rejected, read their comments and improve it.
Had speedpass back when it first came out, great technology for the time
You seem to be knowledgeable about this, so I wanted to ask - is ARM more efficient (perf/watt) than Risk-V? (I know there are lots of factors like frequencies/voltages etc but keeping everything else constant)
I don't have a car, but the city I live in has an excellent car sharing system. I just checked, if I wanted to go hiking tomorrow, the nearest suitable car that's available all day is 200m from my place. Booking it for 8 hours and driving 100km would cost me 33€ ($41), all costs included. The key is in a lockbox that opens with a card, so it's available 24/7/365 without another human in the loop. Booking is easy and convenient. If the weather were any good tomorrow, I might have done that and gone winter hiking. Not having a car doesn't have to be as limiting as you may think :)
Well, that's the point from Apple's standpoint, right? It's marketing for them to convince you to convince your friends to buy iPhones. And in the mean time they'll keep blocking out apps like Signal from integrating in iOS the way they can in Android.

To the hellbanned person who replied here saying that San Francisco is too dangerous for kids:

You are right that San Francisco is expensive, and this causes many families to leave. But it is not any more dangerous than suburbs or other cities (and significantly safer than rural areas), it is dense enough that there are many other kids around (many parts of the city have more kids within walk distance than a typical suburb), and kids will not be harmed if they see weirdly dressed (or weird undressed) people sometimes.

The biggest mortal danger kids face in the USA is cars. Followed by guns and various kinds of home accidents (drowning in pools and spas is a big one).
>"The hardware companies are still stuck way in the past."

Example: in the past my friend bought Moog Prodigy synthesizer and along with everything it also came with all the electronic circuitry diagrams. Good luck finding anything like this with the modern hardware.
I wonder if that's because Guadeloupe isn't part of the Schengen Zone and so has passport control for arrivals from elsewhere in France.
Are you looking for something specific? Most tools have documentation you can bang your head against.
Unfortunately Novo won't accept my Google Voice cellphone number so I can't complete the application process.
Let's see. Deepest hole drilling: 12km - Thickness of continental lithosphere: at least 100km. How will you get your nuclear waste there?
Because in exchange for letting Apple engineers visit their research labs for three days, Xerox got a million dollars in pre-IPO Apple stock.
I'm not knocking welders, but if you want to go to school and come out with a specific job, you go to a school that turns you into a specialist, in this case a welder!

I worked on a farm in high school, mostly throwing hay, feeding animals and doing various odd jobs. That experience taught me alot, and left a much stronger mark on me than my CS education.
I think facebook has learned something from this as they prepare to push into China. Looks like they are going to partner with Baidu on the initiative. Whether that's a good idea or not remains to be seen.
It wont because I believe both of those are rented from Switzerland. I know border patrol is for certain.
Just keep the day off. 5 days/40 hrs. a week is the norm.
Shouldn't the main focus be on stopping the source. The rate of oil flowing out is far more than what can be collected from separation techniques. The USCG is already using cutters equipped with skimming booms to essential vacuum up the oil and store it.
i disagree, somewhat. yes, this won't provide truly comparable services to heroku. clearly. the languages and stack don't work the same way.

but i think the point of this is to communicate the fact that they're abstracting out the server and scalability details. i'd pay to not have to worry about all that stuff and just work on the app.

if this thing will handle the server for me, keep it secure and up to date, provide me with a database that will scale with my app like amazon's RDS, provide me with meaningful data and metrics about my server/application/database, and provide me with things to make common tasks easier (deploying), then imo, it is worth me paying for it, or paying a small premium on top of what i'd be paying amazon or whoever. but then again, i'm a solo bootstrapper. the more time i have to develop, the better.

"heroku for php" might not be a great choice of a tagline from a strategic perspective, but it is a decent one if you want to consider SEO and organic search results.
This is completely Apple's fault. The New York Times' legal argument is invalid. You don't need a license to distribute a URL or code that fetches a URL. The onus is on the Times to only distribute their content to people they want to receive it. Pulse is doing nothing wrong, and Apple did not have to remove their app. Moreover, Apple shouldn't have removed their app.
I'm a bit confused. You obviously know that Safari runs on Windows, but you say it requires OS X. Huh?
I just might get ____voted for this, but comments like this tarnish HN.
If the touts actually wanted the currency to be used for commerce your focus would be on stability - clearly you won't have any kind of substantial trade in BTC (for actual objects or other items that aren't just currency pair trades) until the value can be predicted over short/medium time frames. The amount of hype, hype, hype that goes on by submitting these endless articles to places like HN, slashdot and I'm sure plenty of other places and soliciting articles like this one in forbes makes it very clear what the community intentions are: speculation.

You may personally not be involved in that, or not understand that's what you're doing. But it's very clear that the market is being run by those that are.
serious question (I don't own a PS3 (or an XBOX)) - is it not still playable offline, or is it like these new drm infested games I keep hearing about that require you to be online even for single player games?
Yes, I agree with you that the reality of current academia makes it more rational to enter a phd program with no expectations of a stable/decently-paid career.

But that's kinda ridiculous. That to do research science, we are expected to choose between, as you say "leaving an imprint", over personal/financial stability. We are not monks of science. And science is not something to be put on a pedestal like religion.

I feel like current academia likes to (for a lack of better term) brainwash prospective students into thinking the life of a research scientist is supposed to be hard. And if you don't have a hard life, you are not really a good scientist. As if personal/financial sacrifice is a virtue when doing research science.

Having this expectation when considering doing research science shouldn't be okay. But we are made to think it is.

(I am currently doing post-doc research)
I took a look at this, and it seems to be aimed at designers? While I'm sure that it's a fantastic tool (also judging from the other positive comments), what if the target audience (the non-technical end-users editing the content) also can't design their way out of a wet paper box?

(Frankly, I would prefer to not even let them touch the content ...)
I don't think laziness accounts for that behavior. Need for efficiency and business might, since most inventions are motivated by yet other endeavors which hardly counts as lazy. I think that the most basic ideas involved in hunting, farming and fighting are motivated by the ultimate need to get some rest.

OTOH, rest shouldn't be confused with laziness, which has a negative connotation, because some see idleness as an ill when it is assigned the highest priority before other desires/needs.
no, but std::map does
Note that what Brendan Eich is saying is that the influence couldn't have happened that way because the work on a lot of the features in question for ES6 started before Dart was available. You can't be retroactively influenced.
Actually, on their "How do we get in an out of Gaza" section it says:

>>We currently cannot bring people to Gaza if you have a West Bank ID or Israeli passport. We can bring people who have an East Jerusalem ID.

Out of interest, I wonder if they accept Jewish mentors.
As a developer from Israel, I'd like to participate in something like this — but I don't think that there's any opportunity for me to do this. From what I understand, even if someone tried to do something like that on the other side, they'd risk execution for "collaboration" if they did this.
I don't exactly know the situation in Europe, but in Israel,many city councils aren't giving permits for building small apartments, because they prefer to attract well off population to their area.

And while it's true that some are spend without thinking on a house, there are plenty who would prefer a smaller house.
Compare the source codes for yourself. It should be obvious that OrderedCollection exists in the js version, left over from the original Smalltalk, and not in Dart. Dart devs don't like criticism.
How would you know?

Do you have a credit card, and have you read the pages of fine print?
> Most production services have strict controls anyway, so it isn't like it is common practice to log in to a production database server and do apt-get/yum install gdb and start banging away.

You'd be surprised. Outside of large companies with dedicated devops, it is very common to see stuff like that happening on production machines.

But that's a use case that stuff like this is ideal for: Clone the container. Install gdb in clone, and try to reproduce the problem.
It's not enough to get me to do business in a country lacking rule of law. While I respect the functioning of the Chinese economy, I also wouldn't start a business there for the same reason. Usually I am comfortable with risk, but shakedown by government under threat of extreme lack of liberty, torture, or death is a risk that really messes with my expected value calculations.
Say the opposite of what I would say.
I'll jump on board. I've got working minimalistic HTML for the first 3 books so far (PDFs for the first two), and am thinking a git project would make this simpler. I'm slightly hesitant to shove it to github though, as I haven't read all the legal notices, and it'd be most useful to include the author's descriptions, and we technically don't have permission to do so in at least some of the cases (currently).

Think I should go ahead and push to github?
No, but I am curious, what is this guy like in person?
You've been reading reddit too much.

In the real world that doesn't much happen.
Points 1 and 2 are solved (at least on OS X) to a degree where I would be annoyed if those things were taken away.
This stuff is necessary. Story up voted.
A microkernel is certainly easier to build than a monolithic kernel, because it does much less. You want to compare a feature-equivalent system, so microkernel + some userland drivers etc vs monolithic kernel.

The monolithic approach is easier because you just call a function in another component or read its data structures. In a microkernel, you need to design interfaces and protocols first.
I've found this is better to do at non-xmas times, especially when you're really busy and need fewer clients.
I generate a new random but semi-pronounceable password for every account using apg (http://www.adel.nursat.kz/apg/), then store it in one of several gpg-encrypted, replicated master password files.

The first few times I use a newly generated password, I have to look it up in a master file. It's weird how quickly semi-pronounceable nonsense + some symbols get stuck in your head though.
How much do they ask for and what do they provide for said ask?
Adnam,

You might want to read the HN Guidelines at http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Quote: Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face to face conversation. When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is an idiotic thing to say; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Please avoid introducing classic flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say about them.
The original context is different and the tone is flippant but "If you're not paying you're not the customer, you're the product".

Considering how easy it is for ad-supported businesses to suddenly become unsupported and disappear I'm willing to give a nominal fee (~$8 forever) a shot.
Maybe Google should go further with its 20% time concept and let people who want to work on ideas of their choosing for months at a time instead of just part time.
Wait, so you believe that your world literature classes inform your decision making because your psychology class told you so?

I'm somewhat ambivalent on the question of whether my liberal arts education actually made a difference in my life, but "because I heard it in psych class" would be at the very bottom of my reasons to believe so. If you're going to hold the opinion that a liberal education teaches you how to learn and informs all your future decision-making, hold it because experiences have corroborated that, not because you read in a psych textbook that that's how it's supposed to work. Textbooks do lie, y'know. ;-)

Otherwise - well, you haven't really learned how to learn, have you? If the point of a liberal education is to make sense of the world around you and form your own opinions, and you're still regurgitating things you read in a book, that liberal arts education has failed.
I pay because I want to be the customer. If I am buying something, I am able to exert market pressure on the provider. If I am a collection of poorly-anonomized data being passed around from J. Random data mining company, I lose this (admittedly, largely nominal) agency.

I pay for email, I pay for hosting photos, and I pay for pinboard.
It's not a really good deal, because if it was a really good deal they would try to persuade you directly rather than asking the legislatosaurus to do it for them.
Why is that not ethical? The artists can choose whether or not to agree to the contract.
I mean even lighter than IFVs. Literally something like a Jackal (MWMIK).

War is Boring, The War Nerd or some other outlet expanded upon this idea a few years back. Based on long range desert patrols used by the Brits in WW2, later in Oman, and then in the Gulf Wars. Only works in mostly symmetrical theatres and in specific environments. Hunting Desert Foxes for example.

> too vulnerable to guerrilla warfare tactics or technicals

Yes. Probably not for clearing a Baghdad street. Of course, some genius will apply the same tactics to Urban areas. Because it's cheap and readily available. And see his soldiers shredded. A bit like the Land Rover Snatch.
I'm an experienced back end senior C# developer but I'm not in California. I feel the writing on the wall is that society will be shut down for at least a year while a vaccine is developed.

Would you be open to full remote for a year, after which I would move to the bay area?
Same here. I expected a chaotic uncoordinated scramble, but it turns out at least in our district, the teachers and school leadership are reasonably prepared. We got packets of assignments, hardcopies and E-mailed, and they managed to do a class-wide videoconference the first time with no visible technical screw-ups.

The biggest failure/bottleneck turns out to be my ability to make time to schedule homeschooling, due to needing to work normal office hours.
Google has never been implicated in a plot to hack the U.S. presidential election. Now, I don't actually Believe that the ads displayed on facebook had any real impact on how people voted. They were never on screen for very long, and they took up a small percentage of screen space compared to all the other user and advertiser generated content. But Zuckerberg did testify before congress on live TV and that's what people are going to remember.
Pretty far from full shutdown still.
Italy still has well-stocked shelves from what I've heard. I am not too worried about it once the panic buying subsides.
Facebook's data center planning team for the last several years has been steered pretty effectively by engineers from "the Seven Sons of National Defense".

This is a term from the US Intelligence Community that refers to the 7 most prestigious universities in China that support the People's Liberation Army. This includes "Beinhang University" and "Northwest Polytechnical University". These schools are closer to the Army in China than say Westpoint is to the Army in the US. These schools guarantee some of the best paying jobs in all of China, and if you desire, a chance to reach the upper strata of the CCP hierarchy. For this, reasonably I think too, they expect a pretty large amount of loyalty measured in decades.

They have overruled consistently (there is nothing wrong with this I am just saying there were objections often) to massive capital infrastructures that make no sense in Facebook and that has always driven the finance people wild.

I don't think there is a conspiracy here. I do think that a lot of specific Chinese hardware manufacturers have gotten very very rich off of these decisions. Their architectural decisions are certainly really strange. They tripled-down on blueray DVD storage in 2009, even though massive cheap flash, then NVMe, then NVMe EVO Plus rolled out in quick succession.

I recommend this report and web app from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute: https://unitracker.aspi.org.au/.
The pandemic experts who warned the world of the consequences of inaction did.
NTP is more than good enough to get 7ms synchronization on a LAN when working correctly, so the fact that PTP can do even better is perhaps uninteresting in light of the fact that NTP often fails to get anywhere near its theoretical performance (other comments mention clocks off by years).

A list of tiny, powerful interpreters would be good.

The net predicts that year 2042 is most likely to happen before 2050
Several months ago there was a discussion on HN about a published study that showed evidence of 'precognition.' http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2068105 Since then three academics have recreated the experiment and shown no evidence of precognition.

Of course, this isn't really a surprising finding, so you likely won't hear about it in the same news outlets that wrote about the first study. :)
Hm, tried it, but it doesn't seem to work that way on the AOSP keyboard (LineageOS/Android9 here). Either hits '.' or the language change button, or I get the "select keyboard layout" pop up due to a long press on space.

Will check out OpenBoard, because this sounds like a great feature.
Did Facebook take action against the CHAZ/CHOP?

Edit: Furthermore, would suspensions and bans ALSO apply to anarchists and revolutionaries? We know the answer is 'no'. It's clear to me Facebook wanted to drop Trump for a long time and did not do so for fear of repercussions. Now that there will be a new administration it is safe for them to do it.
The phone app could sync with the desktop app. You type an sms to the desktop, it syncs with the mobile app, mobile phone sends the sms, gets the reply, and the reply is synced to the desktop app.
If you rely on the literal definition devoid of further context, every single person alive has been deplatformed.
Its called a press conference
The backup feature is not new.
So, perhaps, by no longer having access to Facebook, Mr Trump's eccentricities may moderate? Facebook does people a service by cutting them off. I honestly see such disconnections as healthy. If only they would cut people off before they are radicalized.

Conversely, Mr Trump is now a free agent looking for a nest elsewhere. There is probably lots of closed door planning happening: "What do we do if he decides to use our platform for 2024?"
At least 2 weeks, then reevaluate at the point.
That's false. At least 14 officers hurt. See for example:

https://www.foxnews.com/us/d-c-mayor-issues-order-extending-...
Not so much buggy as less tested. I use it on my linux laptop and have relatively few issues.
That's why I'm suggesting a key import function. You have to balance security with an element of pragmatism. I appreciate it's not the optimal solution (you submit your FQDN for the IP, they verify and give you a free cert) but that's never going to happen. This is the next best thing. WPA2 it, dump your key in then enable HTTP and shut down HTTP, that seems to be the way forward (unless someone can tell me otherwise, but I have just come back from the pub)...
You can always negotiate for it - that doesn't mean the other person is obligated to give it to you.
Yes! When I do math in college I often get a nagging feeling of vagueness. What is the significance of this theorem? Are the consequences of this theorem "empirically" testable in the real world? For example by running a computer program that tests many examples.
Ahh yes, this tiny application is a permanent part of my Windows tool kit. Absolutely fantastic for finding out where all the disk space has gone.
Erik, is there some kind of offset within the ciphertext?
Fifty cents and another ten dollars or more to deal with the extra tech support.
The most important truths of reality cannot be captured by math. Plus, we create truth, and math can only represent what already exists.
