IIRC, Disney was investing heavily into computing starting in the 90s, including inbetweening automation. Even John Lasseter promoted computer-generated imageries as a way to reallocate animators' time from "gruntwork" to more creative processes.

In Japan, most of animation still involves paper. Inbetweening is treated more as a craft, and the best animators still do inbetweening for top-of-the-industry projects like for Studio Ghibli and Studio Khara.
I use pomodoro, but honestly only because it's important to get up regularly and walk around or exercise a bit.

I work for a bit, and when the timer goes off I do some jumping jacks or push ups. For the longer break (~ every 2 hours) I take a longer exercise period, generally go for a walk around the block or something.

I find it helps a lot because I feel healthier, and additional it takes me away from the task for a little bit and can give perspective. Sometimes you get bogged down in a problem, and you become focused on "solving" it...and just taking a breather can help the answer just come to you.

Using just the technique by itself without the exercise didn't help much...I often found myself getting distracted during the 5 minute break.
You are right that would be no friction at the start but I would argue there will be more friction later when he wants to build something more complex.

Linux cli and vim and a tiling window manager have a learning curve (mostly remembering keyboard shortcuts) but they are actually far simpler tools with less distractions and more straight forward and robust tooling.

I just taught a completely non technical 30 year old to build static html sites with the above setup. They appreciated the minimalism of having the screen split in half with code on one side and chrome on the other and no docks or menu bars to distract. They picked it up quickly.
The Islamic State forbade shaving one’s beard, but I don’t think they had similar rules for shaving one’s head. If they had, they must have made exceptions for pilgrims, as shaving one’s head after one is part of the rituals around (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ihram#Behaviour_and_cleanlines...)
It's down to the skill of the surgeons. You get what you pay for, I suppose. Many people fly to Turkey because hair transplants there are cheap for some reason but from what I've heard, results can be poor for the reason you state.
Here[1] is an article that illustrates how much China has invested in Canada. In contrast, Canada has invested very little. Canada has a great deal to lose by provoking China, and due to foreign policy implications in the United States under their previous administration, Canada was basically pushed into apprehending the CFO of Huawei. That went over well in China.

There is no doubt that there is a political motivation for doing this, but in particular this treaty presents a specific extra-judicial legal jeopardy for any government at any level in Canada for taking action against China.

>> You can't pull apart quark pairs because the energy involved is so large it will create new quarks to pair up with the ones you're separating.

What if baryons are electrostatic black holes? No quark can escape. Any infalling particle would slow down and never cross the event horizon as far as an outside observer could tell. Stuff like that...
> I feel like with mathematicians, you should just be able to explain with limits.

Assuming the limit exists without actually proving the sequence converges is going to produce total junk. Jaynes spent a good portion of Probability Theory illustrating this.
>17.78 mA of this current is returned on either the D+ or D- pin (the middle 2) of the keyboard's USB connector.

Oh, so we will look at it at THAT level of detail, nice.

Then hardware interrupts, seems ok...

Then HSTS and DNS, yeah, no, you are skipping like 3 more pages of things that happen in between. Good luck with your naive experiment.
>So you're telling us that accidental death is okay as long as it isn't in the millions?

Yes, of course. We take such decisions everyday. Cars lead to deaths from traffic accidents, and still we are ok with it as a necessary evil, since we want the benefits they provide.

If we restricted technology to "things that can cause absolutely no deaths" we would even have used fire (tons of people die every year from it). Heck, houses too can collapse in an earthquake etc -- we should make sure noone builds one until its 100% safe house (that costs some millions to build).

But my sarcasm was directed at the parent blowing this "deaths due to software" thing out of proportion, and making it sound like someone dies every minute from a buffer overflow.
I don't think we know what those test results mean unless we also see the test results of people already in the workforce - and their management!
Of course. But if Elon Musk paid for a proposal and then said "Wellllll, someone else should build the prototype", he'd get a "JFDI".
Even if you do not have any 'passion' for a field, I think it is important to have some kind of strong intrinsic motivation; to help people, to further Humanity's knowledge, or whatever else. Practice for the sake of practice is incredibly hard to maintain.
Back in 2006 I had an internship at Siemens. In that particular building where I worked they still had a Paternoster elevator running. Always made me feel a bit uneasy to jump on that moving thing.
When you're held at gunpoint, the inner workings of AK-47 don't interest you much. Regardless of how well you understand them, won't save you from bullets.
And? I don't need to hook up fiddler to know that when I hit sevilla111.com I'm not pulling down a 0.1 terapixel image all in one go, I'm only ever loading a teeny tiny (tiled) sub-section of the raw image or a lower res version of the whole. Which isn't much different than google maps/Earth.
1G ethernet is 125 megabytes (spelled out to avoid acronym ambiguity) per second

802.11ax is much faster than that, my wifi router is good for 1.5G or so while the protocol allows for 3.5G or so and my file transfer speeds are easily more than 125 megabytes per second

I’m not going to run more wires either way

So……. you sure I should care?

Its great fast speeds that scale to the file sizes I want to handle, which are pretty large for prosumer needs.
Couple of quick things.

1) You don't need permission to post to my wall or get all of my information to sample my images. I, and others, will explicitly not try this specifically for this reason. Only request the minimum of what you need.

2) Your FB Connect implementation appears to be broken. Clicking on the http://profilecollage.appspot.com/auth/login takes the user to a mostly empty page with a FB image that you have to click into again, which then takes you to the authentication page.

3) Clicking 'dont allow' on the permissions request button just keeps circling back to the request page. This should redirect somewhere else.
All of the mRNA vaccines target the spike protein. Coronavirus spike protein mutations have only ever been observed to occur in bats- never humans. Therefore the number of vaccinated people will almost assuredly not increase the likelihood of a resistant strain.
True. I like Python, but the ecosystem can be very confusing for a quick dive. It's easy to get lost between pyenv, virtualenv, pipenv, pip, pip3, easy_install and friends.

> I can't imagine anyone meeting WordPress for the first time today would say "It's great but I HATE that editor! Don't they have something a bit more... classic?"

They don't know enough to say this. They just complain about how difficult and confusing WordPress is.
Why did we move away from flip phones?

Like seriously, what are people even arguing here? General purpose computing was a mistake? Is that seriously an argument that anyone is making in good faith as they type into their web browser on an Internet forum?

Just wait until you find out that app stores are always going to have fundamentally imperfect moderation. Forget running unsigned/unapproved code, we should get rid of 3rd-party code entirely.

General purpose everything is insecure. Self-published books spread lies, open markets have bad products, computers get infected, and people burn and poison themselves cooking their own food in stoves. If your goal is 100% security, then you will very likely never build any platform or product that's worth using.

We have other ways to improve security beyond turning smartphones back into flip phones.
Yeah, a little confusing. I updated the text on the Unclack landing page to specify that it mutes your microphone, not your keyboard. Appreciate the feedback!
It's very different, because it means you don't need the borrower to ever pay back. Meaning the banks will give loans to anyone the laws can be bent to allow lending to.
The IG thing was just in response to the WhatsApp thing. But you are right, no point overthinking and complicating it. I will upgrade to a dual sim phone and use the other sim for new stranger communication.

Though I think a lot of people do want to see IG, just to get an idea about your life, friends etc. Like a way to know about you without prodding too much. I anyway don't use IG anymore so I just say I don't have it, and as you said they seem to be fine with it.
Propose to the companies to conduct a trial to test your hypothesis on the effectiveness of a single dose? Until then the FDA policy is clearly data based and they are saying to follow the tested dose schedule from the clinical trial and not to deviate.
"Do something else!" is not much of an argument. It really just points out that you're unaware of the distinction between what Peloton sells and cycling in general.

Spin classes have their appeal and benefits that aren't the same as regular riding. A spin class is (typically) a high-intensity activity done for a fairly short period of time (say, an hour). An hour spent outside on your bike does not impart the same benefits, plus issues of weather and traffic detract (for some) from the overall appeal.

I'm a serious road cyclist, so I kinda dismissed Peloton initially, because I figured because it looked kinda like a bad deal for road-cyclist indoor workouts then it must be the same thing, but it's really not. I have a fancy indoor riding setup using a Wahoo trainer and one of my bikes and an iPad, and that's PERFECT for the kinds of FTP-boosting workouts my coach sets up for me, but Peloton isn't in my market AT ALL. Just because it'd pedaling indoors doesn't make it the same thing.

Spin has its own (typically well-heeled) devotees, and Peloton is pursuing that market. There is almost ZERO overlap between the sets of "my serious cycling pals who do indoor training" and "my friends who own Pelotons," which just highlights the difference.

I would love to have one of those, and i think poly aftertouch is pretty uncommon (I have an Maudio Axiom (channel aftertouch) and Yamaha SY35 with some kind of AT). People have told me Korg and Kurzweil had the best aftertouch of the vintage synths

> This is the only time in human history where living farther away from the city is actually cheaper then living closer.

That is not in the slightest true. Your thing about oil is a red herring.

Urban areas (farms back then) were ALWAYS cheaper than cities.
Hating a commute does not translate into hating the suburbs at all.
I'm not following. Capital gains?
This is my team's second time series related library that we've recently open sourced, the other being https://github.com/arundo/adtk, our anomaly detection toolkit for time series.

We created this library because we were training a lot of deep learning models on time series data, but needed more examples of the specific types of behaviour we were interested in. This data augmentation library is inspired by image data augmentation libraries, but taking the considerations of time series into account. As with image data, you need to carefully consider whether the specific "augmentation" will preserve the aspects of the data that you are interested in.

We've released tsaug under an Apache license. We'd love to have people try it out, make contributions, and ask any questions.

tsaug is pip installable and the documentation and examples are linked in the readme on Github.

Credit primarily goes to Tailai Wen, who led this effort.
Cool, likewise! I appreciate the conversation.
Oh, right. So they are a member. They just weren't at the October meeting for some reason.
The homepage looks like it's written for 5 year olds. 100pt font and piles of whitespace do not convey information effectively.

Also the only thing I can see without scrolling down is a "give me your email" box. Not a good sign.
The worst is when you expect Google to display a stack overflow question or a Github issue in response to your query, but instead what you get is a Quora answer. You already know that though the question matches (almost) your exact query, the answer is going to be badly formatted and useless.
Has anyone experimented with ClojureCL [1]? It claims to run on MacOS.

I frequently go hunting for fun new games or old gems I've missed. The play store is consistently awful. I've been seeing the same awful games and apps advertised too me for years. I want to see new games and apps, not just new games and apps from massive sweat shops pumping out garbage, which is what I get now. Virtually every app or game that I install is discovered outside off the play store. It's blatantly clear to me that Google caters to the big companies at the expense of innovators. So much for don't be evil or whatever that slogan they never honored was.
I certainly fall under this category, and I find it ridiculous that others find the idea ridiculous. I sense widespread belief that certain things must be a certain way, that no other options are possible, yet when asked to explain this thinking the responses seem to have little depth of thought behind them, and disagreement is rapidly met with an emotional backlash.

It seems to me to be extremely similar to religion, which coincidentally tends to be something these believers criticize with great passion, in my experience anyways.

In general, I find the topic of the posted article very interesting and find it odd that globalist enthusiasts seem to lack interest in it considering the apparent similarities in foundational beliefs.
Elisp isn't really functional ... everything is dynamically scoped so you don't get closures and the entire language is built for mutating state.
And I've always ignored that sort of question—there's no such thing as morals or utility, really, only what animals are programmed to think in their animal brains. Robotic arms don't care when other robotic arms die—and neither do we. Paperclips don't care about increasing in number, even if someone is trying to make it so. What we have to ask is not "what does the universe say about right and wrong?" (because the answer is "nothing") but rather "what do our minds say about right and wrong?"—that is, "what is the human utility function?"

The problem with that, of course, is that even within our species, we have many different (and mutually-exclusive!) utility functions; sociopaths, for example, calculate theirs noticeably differently. So, it still ends up turned into a problem of cultural meta-ethics. That is, it's no longer a matter of "who do we shun and revile?" but "how do we get along?" or perhaps "do we want to get along?" (Which brings me to this: http://lesswrong.com/lw/y4/three_worlds_collide_08/)
I managed to play around with this before it went offline, and have to say it is very impressive.
It's a marriage between Google Wave and Processing with a very nice interface.

Would love to see this incorporated into openprocessing.org to be able to quickly add a few tweaks to other peoples sketches. It would be like a github for processing sketches with online editing!
Important side note: religious experiences are not always good :-)
I hope they bring back the blue progress bar.
Personally, if I was "A", I would just keep the shares. My time is already gone, so I might as well have a chance at a payoff at a later date.

If I needed money, then I would go for "an amount equal to the salary I gave up by working full time on the startup", which you seem to be offering.
Thank you for that. Very good advice actually, especially the first part of mentioning the merit of other works.

On a side note, does anyone have good advice of how to motivate yourself while in PhD studies? I am now in year three and have lost all my drive due to the "broken academic" environment.
I wouldn't be glad. I'd be anxious and frustrated. But that _would_ motivate me to work harder. Or to take a hard, honest look to see if what I'm doing makes sense. Not having much money also means low expectations from others and mental freedom to do something outrageous.

The Chinese have a saying "fighting with your backs to the river" that originated from the Battle of Jingxing around 205 B.C.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Jingxing
In that battle the general Han Xin organized his troops against a river, with no prospect of retreat. Apparently it focused their fighting abilities immensely.

From the wikipedia article:
At the feast after the battle, Han Xin's officers, still somewhat incredulous at their own good fortune, inquired into the rationale for the astounding deployments. Han Xin explained that as he was commanding a ragtag army and he was not a general of high renown, he had to resort to such drastic measures to force everyone to fight hard. This led to the saying "You achieve survival by fighting from a position of certain death (置之死地而後生)"
In programming it is usually as trivial as a compile-time or runtime error, so programmers will usually discuss subjective issues.

But if you look at the SO threads, the subjective issues aren't related to programming, they are mostly related to sitting at a desk or working for other people. That has as much to do with programming as telescopes have to do with physics.
What is the outcome you want to optimize around? Friendship? Current cash on hand? Maximizing equity for the remaining founders?

I suspect the best thing is to focus on the biz, it's much more important to have a big pie to argue about dividing than to have a fair division of nothing
It seems reasonable that the people optimizing code and writing the most efficient infrastructure are not the same folks who actually write trading algorithms. Now, supposedly a big part of trading firm's success is that its algorithms are faster than the competition's. So are the low-level infrastructure people paid as well as the algorithm folks?
Maybe he was referring to this? http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20000319.html
Of course that could have happened, too, but that wouldn't make for a very good storybook ending, would it?
Actually, I believe it's fn-left.
"Virtual memory" does not imply "it would have to swap"; indeed, the iPhone does have virtual memory, and each application has its own virtual address space.
Still shooting for 3pm?
Gotta hand it to MMOs when it comes to architecture - they have some very unique problems to deal with. Sending media-heavy data back to a number of widely dispersed clients in real time has to take the cake in my book, not to mention continuously writing that same data back onto a database (you log in the same place as you logged out, don't you?)

I'd imagine the media messages they send to clients are a continuous broadcast of 3D coordinates and audio processing signals for player characters but I honestly have no idea. I'd love to learn more about it.
The point is Linode has better service, e.g. 24x7 IRC, responsive ticket system, powerful admin interface.
They are also fabricating a lot of stuff in-house which drastically cuts down cost. You have a lot more value added when you don't have ten million different suppliers fighting for a profit.
The story behind the CMD key is always a good read if you haven't heard it: http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=Swedish_Campgroun...
To play the devil's advocate: it might not be a one size fits all solution.

When you're at Microsoft and can just walk up to the bar researchers and programmers in the world, maybe. When you're at some corporation where you have to spend half a day on the phone to get your computer unlocked by the desktop support and request to change a config on a web server becomes a ten foot long email chain about whose fault it is that we need this change, I don't think people have any motivation to modernize piece by piece.

Then there is the issue that you'll have to explain why part of the application is in .NET core and part is in dot net framework 3.5...
Spot is semi-autonomous, you can run a path once (including opening/closing doors) and then have it repeat it alone, handling (simple) obstacles that might appear.
This is a case where I would trust them because it -is- open source. However I support US efforts to keep Huawei out of core communications structures, at least in the USA, and hopefully Europeans will follow with US or Continental suppliers. Microchips make it very, vey easy to bury backdoors for Chinese intelligence agencies as well as put in encryption weaknesses. Say what you want about the US but there are pathways to prevent you from being railroaded by the government if you're willing to stand up to them. This isn't so in China, where you just get disappeared or imprisoned if you don't tow the party line.
But if you subcribe to such (edit: you colleague's) calendars for work purposes then why set up notifications for family activities ?
