The good part being that you're warned at compile time, not when your 2^16 elements loop becomes a 2^32 elements loop.
Disagree first, because we can do that without depth sensors, so no it isn't necessary. You can already scan objects with 123D Catch from Autodesk. We can do dense RGB pointclouds from an iPhone from as little as 14 images:

http://staging.pair3d.com/pointcloud/couch.html

Also disagree slightly with your use case. For the amount of work it takes to get a quality 3D scan of something, even with a good IR depth system the benefit isn't there for the user.

Besides, the ecosystem you describe relies much more on a robust segmentation system with very well trained data set. You can do that easier and better with a single or multiple pictures than you can with a 3D scan.

i don't doubt for a minute that people can tell the difference. however would just make the point that a proper controlled experiment would be to change the source from 720p to 1080p or 4k, rather than the tv (assuming the tv supports the maximum res!).
Why don't firms flag all email from external domains as "EXTERNAL" (All subjects are prefixed before being transferred to individual email boxes)?

We have that where I work, wouldn't that help? That way an email with the CEO's email but with a slightly off email address would show external, where every other email within the company has no such flag.
It's great to see really good use cases for this technology. I would be interested to see an old B&W movie colorised this way.
Sure, but you could argue the same for things like COBOL

$225 premium!? I mean come on. The article focuses a lot on the learning aspect of these exercises, and setting up your own services should really be a part of it. Especially for a one man operation. Typing apt-get install mongo / mysql / rethinkdb after the droplet is really all there is to it.
I wish I could upvote you more than once. BingeOn provides limited relief for consumers using data while on-net, and are the most advanced amongst the American wireless carriers around integrated WiFi services.

For example, they were the first as far as I can tell to launch extensive WiFi calling and WiFi SMS, even extending to some American airlines (at least for WiFi SMS - calling is possible but socially unaccepted on planes).

Wireless carriers as a general rule are all looking at WiFi offload capabilities especially as 802.11ad and up provide higher transmission rates (peak and average theoreticals).

There is a race to perfect and bring to market seamless WiFi-base station handoffs (both ways) in real-world conditions. I suspect that will require a combination of channel (i.e. mobile devices) + wireless network upgrades, so in the meantime carriers need to bridge the gap. This is arguably a pretty good strategy assuming T-Mobile is expecting WiFi to handle even more of their traffic overtime.

This is pretty cool, but imo raspberrypi is making micro-controllers obsolete. Why would you bother with such a limited environment when you can have a full linux environment + GPIO for like $10 more.
Interview at a few places before leaving your current job. Try to find a place you're really excited about. But also realize that you might have to repeat this process multiple times to find a really good match.

The job market is very inefficient. There are are limited number of great jobs available, so you're unlikely to find them if you don't put in some effort. It's so hard to find a great job that lots of people start their own companies (and then fail to create very many great jobs)...
Do you have debit? If yes, make a big dent in that now.

Do you have savings? If no, get some of that too.

Then you can comfortably find the right gig.
I'd be interested in hearing more from insurance companies on how they calculate "safe" driving. Are they applying a simple model where speed, acceleration, and braking are the only inputs considered? Or are they actively gathering data on many different inputs and correlating them with accident data?

Also, of course, the insurance companies have different incentives than I do as a driver, or, indeed, society as a whole. The the stereotypical clueless/passive/elderly/(dare I say Prius) driver who accelerates incredibly slowly, brakes incredibly slowly, vaguely lists from lane to lane (without signaling) is a terrible driver, and is arguably dangerous to everyone around them. However, they might move so slowly that other drivers are able to anticipate and avoid them, so the accident claims data might not show them as high risk. (although they might tend to make lots of parking lot claims as they 'feel' their way into a parking spot). As a society we don't want to encourage clueless driving; on the other hand (if they can avoid parking lot scrapes), the insurance company might well prefer this driver.

The insurance claims-based model absolutely incentivizes attentiveness, as you can avoid both your own accidents, as those that others attempt to cause. It's certainly not perfect (particularly when paired with things like credit checks), but I'd hate to see drone-like driving preferred over attentive driving.

Another thing to note is that folks with an active interest in driving (engaged, sometimes drive fast, have advanced training, etc) will absolutely avoid these technologies because they're all convinced they'll be punished in the model -- so even if the insurance companies are actively collecting data in an attempt to refine their models, it will have a selection bias.

The main thing these data will be lacking is context. Did I brake hard because I was texting and almost hit the car in front of me? Or did I brake hard because I goddamned felt like it? Were there cars behind me at the time, or was I driving in such a manner that there was no risk of collision? Can it separate inputs that are likely to cause two vehicles to collide, versus inputs that might cause a single-vehicle collision (in which case context doesn't matter)?

Hell, just last week I unexpectedly threw my brand-new car into a full ABS panic stop to avoid some deer. Then again, I guess the insurance company doesn't care why. It's better than a collision, but they'd prefer that I never drive anywhere I might ever get in an accident. Actually, they'd just prefer I don't drive anywhere at all.

The first rule of C is to ALWAYS use C

The second rule of C is to NEVER use [u]intN_t, use [u]int_leastN_t instead and (unsigned) char when you want to deal with bytes

The 3rd rule of C is to never use anything else when size_t should be used

The 4th rule of C is that everyone has his own style, so declaring variables on top is totally acceptable (and more clean IMO)

The 5th rule of C is "enjoy your stack overflow" when using VLAs instead of malloc (not to mention that VLAs are optional in C11)

>which also means it's capable of holding the largest memory offset in your program.

wrong

>C99 gives us the power of <stdbool.h> which defines true to 1 and false to 0

I do use it but it is useless

>readability-braces-around-statements — force all if/while/for statement bodies to be enclosed in braces

>You should always use calloc

good thing calloc has: checks for overflows when multiplying the typesize and the arraylen

bad thing: makes programmers think that it will make your pointers null

>you can wrap it with #define mycalloc(N) calloc(1, N).

but the two arguments is the only good thing calloc has

>growthOptional

I can't see any reason why the second one is considered better
It's great to Grand Rapids, Michigan make this list! I live there and find it to be a nice area. The craft beer really is delicious, and there is plenty of it to go around[1]. It's not too far from a beautiful lakeshore (with exceptional beaches), and is a couple hours drive to Chicago or Detroit.

What I'll be interested to see is what the impact of a major data center will be on tech investment in the area from both the local community and from outside investors[2].

Lots of sun, but nevada isn't the ideal place for net metering. The population is centralized and surrounded by flat desert. So bringing power to them from big stations is easy.

The ideal market for net metering is where the population is spread out and surrounded by mountains. That makes transmission tricky/expensive. Generation of power locally via small rigs bypasses those transmission difficulties, allowing the small provider to perhaps demand something higher than wholesale rates.

You must say the same thing about COBOL in other threads. Demand for it remains high with people getting paid a premium in some areas for the shortage. Something like a billion lines of it out there. Microfocus is probably hiring, too.

So, anyone following your argument should skip C++ and learn COBOL because COBOL is easier to learn, in widespread use, and has jobs available.
I suggest you should follow what genuinely interests you. But before you quit your current job, do some course on CS on courseera or edx or MIT. They are available online for free and if you need a certificate or course credits that option is available too. By doing a course you will be able to know if you really like programming or not. Also once you complete it properly (most shouldn't take more than 3 months), you will be in a better position to start working as a programmer if you still want to. This will also be the safest option as you will have an year experience in current job. You can experiment with your programming ideas and who knows where that would take us. Be passionate about it. Even if you will be working for no one other than yourself, without some structured hours, its going to be a bite back long term. Hating structure is a common feeling with first time job. Part on good terms. Do not quit abruptly on any job without proper notice period and don't make enemies.

In California, your auto insurance "base rate" cannot go up by more than a fixed amount (I think 40%?) upon renewal.

This explains why they give me both "Good Driver" and "Exemplary Driver" discounts. I shudder to think what it would look like to lose both discounts and have the base rate go up by 40% all in one fell swoop.
It is a SPA, seems like it is built using React + Redux + Webpack among other things, the transition between pages has nothing to do with it being a SPA or not. The routing is pretty well done that is keeps the state that you can go back, and the URL is probably being set by the webapp and not fed by a server.

What languages do you know currently? This will probably be an unpopular opinion but unless you know more than you can count on two hands, it's unlikely that Rust or Go will be give you the best ROI if your focus is career enhancement. The largest career ROI is probably in getting to advanced-intermediate level in a couple of the following (in absolutely no order, I intentionally put ones I don't know first):

- Python

- Ruby

- JavaScript

- PHP (especially for WordPress if your focus is web)

- C#/F# and the .NET ecosystem generally (especially for corporate)

- Java (especially for corporate)

- VB.Net if you want a government job

- C/C++

- Enough SQL to do whatever you want with the above
What happens when you stand for 5 years
I always am perplexed with how C and C++ are so high on this list. Given that some (all?) of the measure is based on search engine results. When I had some C/C++ back when I was in college, I was very underwhelmed at the number of resources available online. I had taught myself web development just by Googling everything I had an issue with. Tried the same with C/C++ and felt there was an couple orders of magnitude less available information.

No.

Consider what it would look like if you ran the solar system in reverse - all the planets and moons would go backwards in their orbits, but gravity still works exactly the same. The equations of mechanics don't care about time.

And yes, information being lost in black holes would be an issue, if true - that's why that problem has been studied so much recently.

You just can't stop stupid in this case. It relies entirely on fooling a single person with the ability to initiate the wire. If the company doesn't have that vulnerability then they just move on.

Everyone seems so interested in a technical way to stop this, but you can't code your way out of stupid accountants.
And yet there's something to them. There's clearly some sort of interesting technique used. I guess they try to make the things on the screen look as real as the people watching.
My insurance company has had a 3rd party auditor "audit" my data every effing 6 months for about 3 years straight. I think they're REALLY suspicious that I only put 3000 miles on this vehicle or 2000 miles on that. I've taken to just pulling up my fuel fillup tracker app every time they call. "Oh, did I say 3000 miles? No, actually, let's say 2853 miles".

Joke's on them, the per-vehicle mileage goes down every time they ask.
OCD is rituals for structure, Superstition is rituals in order to pursuade the powers that one imagines exist to look the other way in case of dealing misfortune (avoid walking under ladders, otherwise sensible advice, something might fall down) all the way up to praying to win the lottery or asking the priest to bless your land.

It's all centered around rituals. At least the OCD folks have (assuming it doesn't get out of hand) some positive benefits from their affliction.

How I took control of my personal finances. Simplicity in money saving
I imagine he's referring to 13-21" screens, where the price has stagnated in the past, say, 5 years, especially relative to higher-end displays. Case in point: you can now get a $5 Raspi Zero, which is more powerful than my laptop from seven years ago, which cost $700. That's an absolutely insane, and amazing, reduction in price. But any meaningful display for it will cost you around $90-$120, which is roughly how much it cost seven years ago.

As much as I appreciate the stupid and pointless race towards insane resolutions for how it benefits VR, I too wish we had some progress making "normal", 1920x1080 20" (or 13" 1600x900) displays for cheap.

People talk about "Raspi Zero, the $5 computer" but for six billion people in the world who don't have a computer, a computer is a device with a screen. When that whole shebang becomes $5, having a computer suddenly becomes a choice for everyone, not a privilege for the upper 15% of society. And right now, the thing that's holding us back from that dream is only the display.

A $5 Raspi, which consumes 0.6W at most, can be powered for 18 hours with a battery that costs $2 in bulk. A SD card in bulk might be an extra $3 and a Wifi dongle can be had for $2 in bulk. That's a $12 laptop. Add a display, and your $12 laptop becomes $100. The lack of progress in displays is criminal.
Just wait until you can sit behind your computer and develop stuff on a beautiful beach, and use a big screen, all embedded into the VR world.

It would sure beat the crap out of my current desktop backdrop, which is mostly covered by windows anyway :)
Agreed on the WTF on email design.
I'm afraid this is missing the point. The subsidies we are talking about when it comes to energy are not "cash in hand" loans to energy companies.

It's the tacit approval of and ignorance towards externalities energy companies cause, mostly pollution in any number of forms, from those carcinogenic to those crushing the climate (CO2) and finally things like nuclear waste (and possibly decontamination) that will be with us for many thousand years to come. These massive costs are not being accounted for, and they sum up to subsidies vastly exceeding the puny $50b cited here.
I'd be hesitant to make the latter statement in isolation. Given my experiences with various levels of "important individuals" over the years, the money is MOST useful for opening that door in the first place.

It's a lot easier to offer a group of high power individuals a 5 star dinner with a realistic expectation they'll who up, as opposed to cold calling them as just another average joe. Once that connection is established, the relationship is much less active bribery and much more "let's have a little chat and see if we can't find something mutually agreeable"; although to be frank, I'm not sure I'd say the latter is any less worrying.
How do gyms make it into the database? I'm looking at where I live (Brooklyn), and almost every single gym listed is a CrossFit gym. There are a considerable number of missing gyms.

Otherwise, this is awesome. I work out at home now, but when I was looking for a gym a while back, it was extremely annoying. New York is especially bad since most gyms are small and/or prioritize cardio equipment and weight machines as opposed to free weights. Anything with more than one squat rack is in Queens and/or has a huge price tag.

> If you offer the option to disable telemetry, some people will disable it. If there is any pattern to which people do this, and we all know there is, it introduces sampling bias and casts aspersions on any conclusions you draw from that data.

This is true enough, but consider this: Giving the option to disable telemetry will result in users users who would disable it. Not giving the option to disable telemetry will result in users who who simply won't use Windows 10 because of mandatory telemetry.

With the former option they still get a data point in terms of the percentage of their users who care enough about privacy to turn off telemetry. With the latter option they don't get this data point, but in return they get some telemetry data from users who would disable telemetry if it was available, but don't care enough about privacy to use a different OS because of it (i.e. the telemetry data they have available is still biased to the subset of users who don't care very strongly about their privacy).

Is the data from this latter group of users important enough to be a worthwhile tradeoff for getting data on the percentage of your users who do care strongly about privacy and the damage to their market share and the damage to the goodwill they've built up over the years? My answer would be no.
Whoops, sorry. I meant D rather than Go, but I guess that is also sorta-kinda garbage collected.
