Don't quote me on this, but I believe I've read that it is structured light. From my experience time of flight cameras are excellent at things like body detection and terrible at things like SLAM. (I have no idea why and could be wrong... it's been awhile since I've looked at the literature)
Those were both done with IDA, some manual work, and customer decompilers and other tools, based on the descriptions in each project. The ElectroPaint guy made a vague reference to some tool that was unreleased in IDA as of IDA 6.5, but which was supposed to be in the next version. The Starcraft one mentioned someone else that had ported at least 4 DOS games to run on the OpenPandora using a similar method (but in 2011, apparently).

I've got a similar project that I've been dancing around doing for a few years. In my case, it's a game that I grew up with, and I feel like I finally know enough to take a crack at understanding and documenting the whole thing, probably to eventually write a reimplementation of the engine. I'd guess that people here and there are coming to the same conclusion and, apparently, finding some cool new features in newer versions of IDA. So maybe it's a mixture of new tools and good timing in people's lives?
I don't think it would be a waste of effort. Unless he's got an amazing mind, uncanny ability not to make mistakes, and doesn't forget anything, getting `$vc blame ...` is worth it on its own. I'd argue it's not reasonable, but it's his choice to make.

But I really hope he's got automatic, offsite backups going.
Right, now that I think about it, it's only coincidental that the objects in question represent the subsets in a partition of the reals.

It seems what we have here is a finite set A (in arithmetic, A would be a finite collection of sets which constitute a partition of the reals) and two operations: f, g: P(A) × P(A) -> P(A), taking a pair of subsets of A to another subset of A, with the property that f(W ∪ X, Y) = f(W, Y) ∪ f(X, Y), and so on. This can all be represented as a bitmask table of size |A|^3, or half if commutativity is enforced.

We also have the "inverse" which takes X and Z, and returns the set {a ∈ A : f(X, {a}) ∩ Z ≠ Ø}.

If I'm not mistaken, the mechanisms for doing all of this in hardware would come for free, and it represents quite a variety of problem domains beyond arithmetic. Perhaps some arithmetic-specific optimization would be ruled out (e.g. the bit twiddling to get additive or multiplicative inverses).
Good point. Even if your health insurance is public, someone, somewhere is figuring out what can and can't be paid for.

One of the reasons other countries spend less on healthcare, compared to the US, is that they just don't pay for certain things (drugs, procedures, etc). The US is a bit more lax when it comes to this and that results in higher costs.

Yes, I'll be writing more books, more details later; as for a 2nd edition, well, the 1st edition is probably more useful in the meantime than you might think. Lets say you install bcc/BPF tomorrow. Ok, now what? The hardest part is to know what to do with these superpowers. Apart from the provided scripts in bcc, the sysperf book has other DTrace examples that you might need, and can then port over. The hardest part of DTrace was knowing what to do with it, so all the prior DTrace documentation will be good material to browse and be inspired from, including my DTrace book. Many of my bcc/tools originated as versions I wrote using DTrace.
It's a price-, feature-, and energy-sensitive market. You can't just max one metric without caring about effects. Such things can cost companies. Far as cache sizes, I was referring to this:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/10/03/ibm_power7_plus_serv...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POWER8

POWER7+ used embedded DRAM to vastly up the cache size vs other processors. The POWER8 apparently mixes internal and external caches or something. I'm not sure. In any case, it's not the few MB to 8MB that's more common: it starts over 10x higher than that using a much slower tech. Also note that it's a 15 layer chip with each layer costing extra silicon and masks vs 3 or so for memory fabs.

Note: A mask set might be a few million dollars with silicon wafers at around $3,000 a piece. So, a 5x reduction in masks/silicon might make a substantial difference in price of prototyping and production. ;)
How to Earn Huge Money ($10000) per Month –  by Freelancing
I think physics is ripe for a revolution. We know Einstein's theories are incompatible with Quantum Mechanics but the path to reconciliation is not obvious or it would have been done already. Its unlikely to come from inside the profession, even by "fringe" groups like the Perimeter Institute, which isn't really fringe but pretends to be.

Math is the ideal place for the independent outsider. The "group" mathematicians are just pushing the current fields to their logical conclusions, nothing wrong with that but its unlikely to create a new area of math or find anything profound. Its like mathematical engineering, using the tools/ideas that are known, and a safe career path. If an outsider has a proof people will listen.

The only other area I can think of would be computer science and inventing a true AI and not an AI mimic like Microsoft's recent twitter embarrassment, but in my view that would really be a development in epistemology with AI as its first application.

So do you think you are a genius? How old are you?
That sounds appealing, but it would be something else. There are hundreds or perhaps thousands of polished fun games to play. Dwarf Fortress is different. It's raw. The wretched interface and myriad bugs are part of the whole experience. In a lot of ways, it's like punk rock. Yeah, the musicians could keep better time, and be in tune, but then it would be a different kind of music.

The lunacy of one guy writing so much depth and detail has it's own magic that you can't really get anywhere else. Maybe it is indeed a waste. I think i've spent more for that game than any other, save maybe WoW because of all the expansions.
Version control is a must when you're working with other people. When you're the only one writing code it's not so important.
Agreed. Interesting algebras like z/n[i] or z/n[√5] exist, but I'm not sure what the utility outside of theoretical algebra is.
Except that then he'd be a project manager rather than a programmer.
I think this is one area where there can be much promise. Being able to overlay timely and relevant information over the environment, in a way that doesn't require high degrees of pro-active intervention by the user, could help reduce errors and efficiency drains due to context switching in a number of environments. I'm thinking warehouse operations where doing robot stuff like Amazon is too far beyond economic reach, yet you still have to interact with data for directions and work tasking. There are other areas where things like this are intriguing. So long as the device can be made to be otherwise unobtrusive enough, have sufficient power for running full shifts, and are rugged enough, I think there is good potential.

Something I'm taking a look at now.
Gmap3 version 7.0 released – jquery plugin for Google maps
I'd imagine there would be some impact on the native ecosystem. You can't prevent the seed from escaping the aquafarm and (potentially invasive) oysters and kelps growing where they normally would not, displacing local species.

That said.. the small footprint of these farms means you could probably localize this impact, or pick areas that are at a lower risk for farming.

Potentially the biggest hurdle here would be regulatory issues to prevent the above issues from happening without stifling the industry.

Super interesting subject.
I don't believe it's actually a feature of tmux itself, but rather iTerm. My suspicion is that iTerm watches for that command in particular and rewrites it behind the scenes.

I was told about it by a coworker - more detailed info can be found here:

I took a tram to college. It went to downtown, not the campus, so I walked the rest of the way.

It's not ideal, but I didn't have my parents drive me (I didn't have a car). I don't see why high school students can't do this.
There won’t be an Xbox 1.5, says Phil+Spencer
Kind of the obvious suggestion here, since you're a mobile developer, make an awesome app. I know, it's not that simple. I'm not a mobile developer, so I honestly don't know how not simple it is. Just a thought though.

As a senior developer, you could try consulting on the side. Do you network? If you're good at what you do, there's probably someone you know or someone you know who knows someone who might be able to use your expertise. It never hurts to ask around.

That's all I can think of. They're probably not new ideas for you though. Hey, you can always contribute to open source software. It won't make you any money, but you might get your name out there and help a cool project out in the process. You might even learn some new things to put to good use in your career.
You sound like you are, or would be, a great manager. A lot of people never realize things like this in their entire careers.
I was thinking the same thing. Just replace whatever job people are saying will be automated with {horse shoe maker, blacksmith,farmer} and you'd swear the current discussion was taking place in the 1900's.
I am sorry I cant get in to specifics. But Routing for GGC is controlled by Google, it is not out of ordinary for your google traffic to not come directly from the GGC node of you ISP. Any internal routing change by your ISP might also cause your Google traffic not coming from your ISP GGC node.

There are too many variables its hard to tell what exactly caused your issues.

But generally speaking GGC nodes are very reliable, their support is responsive and knows what they are doing very well and most importantly it saves us insane amount of money (cause BW is expensive here), and our users are getting better service.
It's not effectively $10K/month because mortgage interest is tax deductible and the percentage of the cost used for the home office can be deducted as a business expense. Also, he's building equity in his investment which he'll get back when he sells the apartment. Once the mortgage is paid off, he owns the unit and all that's left of the monthly expense is maintenance charges (and real estate tax).

Also, Manhattan is currently a pretty healthy real estate market, so he's likely to make a profit when he sells the apartment. So it's hard to compare this number to a simple rent payment.
Ask HN: Why is Google Cloud Storage 56.5% more expensive than AWS S3?
We use Google Cloud Platform, and their Compute Engine pricing is phenomenal compared to AWS. Google seems to be aiming for competitive pricing in their cloud offerings.

However, it seems to me that their Cloud Storage offering is substantially more expensive compared to AWS's S3 offering. Why is this? Why is GCP not pricing this service competitively?

Here are the monthly price calculators that show S3 is cheaper than GCS - hopefully I didn't type anything in wrong. I used 1 TB of storage, 10 million get operations and 10 million post operations, and 200 GB egress.

S3 monthly: $102.63

GCS monthly: $160.62 (about 56.5% more expensive)

Based on your usage, this is totally wrong notion of "absurdity." What I wrote is actually correct.

I'm not sure what "economics were the end all be all means" but economics is a method by which to understand the "world" under the circumstance of scarcity. I suggest reading a little more of it; it's an interesting topic.

Actually, I don't think this makes any sense. Economics is not about describing a perfect society or something. Don't be silly. :)

It's about understanding reality. Agents engage in activity described by economic principles under the condition of scarcity.

I know that seems sad or something I guess to some. It's like climate change doesn't care if you believe it's real or not.

It's just the way it is ... under the condition of scarcity.
it's mind-blowing how they can measures such subtle changes in the earth's gravitational field, AND they're already using this to acquire practical data
It's for prototyping. My team actually does something similar to this. We have a live UI toolkit instead of a static style guide, and every prototyping live pages is as simple as putting together our pre-existing components on a demo page.

We use demo-data, but never found the need to make a framework for handling this since its just so easy.

Same with commented disassemblies of Super Mario Bros (https://gist.github.com/1wErt3r/4048722), Super Mario Bros 3 (http://sonicepoch.com/sm3mix/), and Legend of Zelda for the NES (which I can't find right now, but think I probably have a copy of around here somewhere...).

I love the idea of reverse engineering games as a sort of "software archaeology", as well as a method of preserving them in the future.
What's really funny is when the program's trivially paralellizable (any of them where the entire thing to draw fits in memory) and the main thing your threads are doing is to start more threads, then finally all the threads do 2 draw instructions each.
Should not have sued them bro. Always let sleeping dogs lie.
yea from august 12 2009.

just saw elsewhere in news on April 3 2016 Uma Bharti/govt decided they will do something about water issues, only if the monsoon is light...

i dont think they are still understanding the problem ~6 years later.

other sources say israel is going to help india on water management?

and then if you want a more recent article on the matter:
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-35888535
This isn't news. My parents have a farm in northern Rajasthan. They use only groundwater for irrigation. Every few years since the early 80s, they've had to dig deeper and deeper wells because the wells keep running dry.

On the other hand, in Western Rajasthan, due to the canal coming down from Punjab, the groundwater is only a few feet deep in places; the land has become waterlogged.
Cafe Bazaar Signed a Contract with Supercell
System76 laptops are guaranteed compatible out-of-the-box with Ubuntu Linux. They're not super cheap, but they do have a financing option available. I have an oldish System76 netbook that runs Arch like a champ. A recent update made the wifi stop working for some odd reason (it was working perfectly until that), but there was an AUR package that fixed it for me.

Or just get a refurb Thinkpad on ebay. Last I checked, they're around $200-250 for an x201. The specs look a little dated, but they're really not bad for the price. From what I read the hardware is really solid too. I've been considering picking one up myself to play with Libreboot and some different distros on.
The article is about 7 years old , couldn't find any recent data or study on the matter ??
> The only drawback with a HoloLens system is that when you own one, you probably don't need many real things, some virtual ones can act as placeholders.

I was watching the video in the article, I had the thought that this could lead to people building special VR/AR rooms, which are painted all-white and maybe have somewhere to sit but otherwise are just empty rooms, waiting to be filled with virtual objects and screens.
I listen to music with the volume fairly low so i can hear my foot strike and my breathing. For me, the music is not a distraction but a combination of two things i like to do... especially when it's music i love and the tempo fits beautifully with my pace. it becomes a the perfect score to your run.
We are all limited by our experiences and I am only talking about mine. My experience is that spending significant time with employees one-on-one is critical to being a good manager, but I am sure others have had different experiences.
I wasn't aware of how much more carbon can be trapped or ethanol produced with these plants. Also interesting that beneficial nutrients from fish mainly come from plants as well.
Keep in mind too that the idea of "full employment" doesn't mean 100% employment, it's a technical term.

I will just say, your view is a little overly antagonistic. Keep this in mind, if they government created too much artificiality in the market, which seems to be what you are asking for, this would not solve the people's problems.

Under your view, the government might as well print countless amounts of currency and just distribute it without any regard to it's value.
If I made six digits a year, I would consider buying one to play around with. Personally though, I'm a huge fan of the internal combustion engine without all of the drive by wire connected to the cloud stuff. As a programmer, the thought of having an internet facing computer running my car with proprietary software terrifies me.
No need. Plenty of 3rd party tools. Take a look at the Lazy Newbs Pack: http://lazynewbpack.com/

It contains utilities to do just about everything you feel is lacking, save some major interface overhauls. I agree, the interface is byzantine, but at the end of the day, it's basically like emacs or vi....

Tools in the Newbs Pack include 3D fort imager, StoneSense, Dwarf task/military/nobles manager Dwarf Therapist, dozens of pixel art packs to turn your d's and c's into little dogs and chickens. There are even tools to directly modify the game: turn off aquifers, turn off invasions, remove races, turn off vampirism, limit the number of children.

The only wasted potential in Dwarf Fortress is people who maybe can't get into it because it's so freakin' complex. Tarn knows the code's a mess. He's not a programmer. He's a mathematician. He writes code that works, and when it does, he moves on. Nothing in Dwarf Fortress was written to be touched by an outsider. It's a truly personal project for the Adams.
Thanks for the heads up - I'll check it out!
Cool project but this comment seemed like a late April Fools joke. "Other tmux session managers require pages of documentation for basic use" Um... I spent all of 2 minutes reading Tmuxinator's Gtihub readme and then set it up. The same amount of time reading this readme had me scratching my head.
If there are many thousands of edible sea plants, maybe plants and shellfish local to the region could be used.

Seems like you could potentially find places where the farms would do more good than harm, even ignoring the food production aspect: They claimed that the farms make good habitats for various types of marine life, serve as effective storm breaks, etc. I wonder if they might even be able to improve local ocean chemistry in some cases (absorbing fertilizer runoff, stabilizing pH, etc.).

It will take significant practical experience and study to tease out all the effects and figure out the most sustainable techniques. At any rate, it’s likely better than most of the existing fish farms in the ocean. How are those currently regulated?
Fuck that. The Internet is a thing. The Web is a thing. Both are singular. Both are proper nouns. There's only one, though it may be huge.
Ugh. Prerequisites exclude EU developers.

Survived 18months of goblin siege, the last 6 of which spent without access to water. Survived the Roc that drove the goblins away.

Fortress became unplayable due to catsplosion. I love this game.
I agree, Wikipedia's style guide is great! I think it strikes a good balance between prescription and flexibility, eg. being able to use local date formats and spellings in articles that relate to that locality.
It's like there are extremists on both side of this conversation. :)

To say those people that cannot be useful will not survive is sort of despicable and naive. Someone on the other side made a point about revolts and if we carried this view so far, I guess something like that would happen and make normal economic activity untenable.
Not really, you're being asked to produce a self-incriminating document you already wrote. You'd have a better argument if you encrypted it in your head with a shared encryption key that your recipient also memorized before putting it in writing anywhere. Then it's like knowing a foreign language that the government can't read.

In the US, we already force public companies to store potentially self-incriminating electronic documents in case of an investigation later. It's not too much of a stretch to force individuals to have a retention policy, in case they need to be investigated. I imagine other countries have similar laws.

You could take a lesson from said companies and discuss anything remotely risky in-person rather than over monitored networks.
Why is that good though; why would Linux shops want to convert? In the space I work in companies (including enterprises) like the fact they can do whatever with the source code and that they can audit whatever part they want. MS has that too but not for many clients and you cannot do whatever with it. The freedom in Linux means a lot to a lot of people even if you maybe could get a bit more perf or support from a paid platform. We have people working with VS (a few only) and because of our tooling it works smoothly anyway. I have no clue why you would switch to something paid and closed...
Hi, author of tmuxomatic here.

My personal use of tmux includes windows with 10+ panes. It's not easy to define these layouts using other means, and often making simple modifications is a big hassle.

I didn't want to be an expert in tmux to maximize my use of it. I wanted something so simple and intuitive that documentation is virtually unnecessary.

For those who only ever use simple 1 or 2 split layouts, a traditional manager may suffice. But even in these cases, tmuxomatic is much easier to deal with. Definitions in tmuxomatic are readable at-a-glance, and the flexibility afforded by windowgrams make layouts clear and unambiguous.

As for the tedium of ASCII, there's the Flex command set that's being added to tmuxomatic 2.x. Using a handful of basic commands, virtually any layout is possible without doing any ASCII art at all.

I'd say this qualifies as better.

Of course it's different, it has to be.
Hopefully they meant per week...hopefully.
Ah, I hoped it's about the game.
There is a pi symbol on the bottom right of every page.

It stinks of dynamic demand, or elastic compute...

...hopefully it helps in their quest to continue serving the drooling masses and being the 'front page' of the Internet.
Arch isn't a distro for people who take issue to reading up on what they're actually doing to their system with upgrades, package installations, and configuration. That's why they have one of the most amazing wikis around. It's expected that you read all of the things.

I still don't agree with the unbootable bit though. That hasn't happened on any of my systems (two Arch machines, two Arch-based Antergos machines) in over a year without it being my own fault tinkering with something. I don't know man, maybe we're running completely different hardware or something.
