RAII is nice—I hope GCC's __attribute__((cleanup)) gets included in C2x.

Templates though... are nice, I guess, but the cost in compile time, ABI, code size, and ease of debugging is a lot to swallow.

Besides, with the preprocessor and M4 you can get many of the benefits of templates, albeit with most of the downsides (and a few more to boot).
Apologies for the somewhat off-topic remark, but ... Can we please stop creating new JSON-based config files? Sane config file formats must support comments.
Can you give a citation on why you think Goldman made 100s of billions of dollars on mortgage backed securities?

Remember different parts of the firm were on both sides of those securities.

Would you feel better about a 5 billion dollar fine (in addition to the previous multi billion dollar fines) if they made 2 billion on mortgage backed securities?

As you say, if your only goal is ShoeBot this (scripts, functions, etc.) is a great way to go. One of the key points of deep learning approaches is that you have this abstract, powerful computational device that is trained to extract the necessary features and also perform the task jointly - and it just happens to be a ShoeBot due to the training data.

This usually results in improved performance along with "ease of use" in transitioning to new but related applications. A model just happens to be a ShoeBot when trained on specific data, but ostensibly a person or company could make ShoeBot, CarBot, ApartmentBot, etc with the exact same approach, given enough data. This is very different than a workflow of "craft tons of features for domain X, write custom scripts/conversation logic for domain X, etc.".

These choices between feature based approaches and "deep" techniques are tradeoffs reminiscent of "you aren't gonna need it" versus "room to scale", but in the ML algorithms you choose rather than the software stack/implementation.

It depends on things like how much data you have, how much compute you are willing to pay for, how many users you expect, and so on - but neither approach is necessarily wrong.

In general if deep learning approaches don't roundly beat feature engineered or hand crafted approaches, you don't have enough data or are trying to shoehorn (pardon the pun) a solution that doesn't fit. Right tool for the job and all that.
Given that even reputable/suable ad networks have been caught distributing malware, I don't see ad slots served by third parties as much better than open inboxes (though at least most mail clients don't load external resources or execute JS by default...). I think the web equivalent of CANSPAM-compliant mail is first-party advertising and third party networks who make a real effort to block malware and enforce some sort of design and privacy standards; maybe they would even obey do-not-track. The bottom-feeders are most of what currently shoves ads at people's faces.
Politicians naturally drift to the issues that people will vote over. If the electorate cares about an issue, you'll see political action. In this sense, your parent comment is correct. Obama and hypothetical Romney aren't doing anything about this because it isn't a voting issue.

- Those bowl cuts came years before any success, specifically during the summer of 1960 in Hamburg from a friend of the band.

- The suits were insisted upon by their manager, not the label, in an effort to help get them signed.

- When they first got attention they were doing and playing exactly what they wanted to, mostly because they were singularly focused on being successful. Their set list was mostly comprised of ~500 popular cover songs from the time. You can hear much of this on several of their early albums which were heavily loaded with these - those were the same songs you could find them doing back before they made it, that they played in the Cavern Club and strip clubs in Hamburg. George Martin was the one who pushed them to be bold with the material, get creative with the arrangements, etc, and then the London scene pushed them further forward from there.

This factually false. Preventable deaths as the result of government policy are atrocious, but they are not murder. "Capitalists" would not come out looking good either if the deaths that resulted from government policy in capitalist countries were called "capitalist murders."

EDIT: To be clear, I'm not saying the gulags weren't murder, or that the Holodomor wasn't murder. I'm saying the only way you get to canards like "communists murdered 100 million people" (100 million is a lot of people) is including people who died as the result of poor central planning in situations where there is no evidence for genocidal or repressive intent.
The chart at the right is the output/result of the neural network's training. In the foreground you see actual data points that are used to train the neural net: to "teach" it how to classify orange or blue (unless you choose "regression" in which case it computes a numeric value). In the background you see the gradient that is formed by the network. The goal is to make the gradient form around the data points by color as closely as possible.

The neural network is essentially the nodes in the middle, linked together by various weights. During training, the test data points are fed forward into the network, creating an output. That output is then fed backward using something called "back propagation" which is used to adjust the weights.

Typically, the more hidden layers or nodes per layer, the more difficult gradients that can be learned. Zero hidden layers essentially forms a linear gradient that can only be used to split very basic, linearly-separable data (drawing a straight line to separate the different types)

Neural networks have lots of little knobs and levers you can adjust. That's what all these inputs are that you see.

As a native Clevelander, I love the idea of the a rust-belt city becoming the next big startup hub. Unfortunately, I can't help but disagree with several points in this article:

Low cost of living: Sure, it's low compared to SF, but it is increasing at an alarming rate. Just look at how quickly housing prices have been rising the past few years. Maybe this isn't something to worry about - maybe it's just a sign that Pittsburgh is a place people already want to move to.

Bicycle/pedestrian friendly: This is a great point, but it seems unrealistic given Pittsburgh's geography - it's surrounded by mountains and can experience some pretty harsh winters. Those factors make it difficult to be friendly towards cyclists. The public transportation could be much better, but faces the difficulty of, again, the geography.

Culture: Now I don't mean any offense to anyone from Pittsburgh, but their culture (in my experience) has been anything but "tolerant". I visit Pittsburgh at least once every other month, and most people I meet there, unfortunately, are pretty racist. Now, it's perfectly possible that the people I have met there are a minority, but I'm just speaking about what I've observed.

There are also several great points that I agree with: the food scene in Pittsburgh is great (and growing!) (check out Butcher and The Rye if you have a chance) , great universities all near downtown (CMU, Pitt), several notable tech companies there as a foundation (Google, Uber, etc), and every time I visit there I am optimistic about the city, though I question whether or not it can become the next big Startup Hub.

Also, don't forget that there are other rust-belt cities that are experience a regrowth: Detroit and Cleveland. Pittsburgh is ahead in that race, but each city is unique, and who knows what the actual next Startup Hub will be.
Germany doesnt use much coal at all, it burns mineral and natural gas:

While the whole of the EU imported 53.4 percent of its energy consumption in 2014, Germany’s dependency was even higher with an import share of 61.4 percent – only slightly below the previous year’s all-time high of 62.6 percent.

Germany needs to import nearly 90% of the gas it consumes.

Germany’s exit from nuclear power and low wholesale electricity prices have boosted the comparatively cheap generation of electricity from coal, leading to a marked increase in imports of hard coal.

I'm going to say no, because C++ seems closer to Java at first but it's really not. You'll probably spend too much time learning about templates and its object system instead of learning to think in the things that make C and C++ unique—pointers, pointer arithmetic, explicit handling of error conditions, low-level control of memory, preprocessor, etc.

Read the article I linked above and the study it references. That is empirically false.
It's mostly about the realities of the stitching though. 180 3D is usually done with two cameras facing forward with a good lens to capture the maximum from each side.

360 3d is a huge lie in reality, although when it's well done (Felix&Paul studios come to mind), it can be quite pleasing.

I'll be doing both 180 3d and 360 for a friends marriage. I'm using the 180 3d to have the guests come and leave the newlyweds a personal message. Everyone will come wish them good luck and lots of love etc.

Then the 360 shots are fixed and capture the feeling of the moment, like reliving it. The 3d effect on 180 feels better and your focus is guided too.

Anyways just my 2 cents.

Edit : Just noticed your post was about 3d vs non 3d for the most part.

Apply HN and Feedback: Kaleidoscope Corp (Centralizing Health Database)
I would love some input from the HN community about this idea we are purposing as of now. Maybe in my head I feel this is a need in the world, but I might be wrong. With some feedback, we can improve on what we are making.

Currently, we are trying to create a centralized health data infrastructure to be used for the health industry. A health database where we can finally connect our health records together. In the health industry, every healthcare facilities, hospitals, and health record companies all do their own database to store patient's health record. This creates a problem where if you were to go to see a new doctor or check into a new hospital, they will never have any record of you. You would have to experience questionnaire paperwork about your medical history. Clearly no one remember every detail about their past medical experience or medications and so much time is wasted while you are ill. With a centralized health database, wherever you go, any physicians can be able to obtain your information.

That's from a patient’s perspective, but for doctors and hospitals it gives easy accessibility to work with other doctors. Physicians can be update what past medications you have taken and what works. Hospitals can know what kind of patient they are dealing with when a new patient enters their facility. We will also provide the necessary security to protect the patient’s data. By being a centralized health database, doctors be doctors and hospitals can spend less on IT instead of become a tech company.

Health starts with us. It's been long enough where we have let the health industry try to mold itself into the digital age, but the health industry is having a hard time to adapt to today's technology. If patients do not stand up for what they want from the health industry and doctors, our health will not improve better for the future and you will still be in the waiting room filling out paperwork for the past 30 min.
I conjecture that the laser profile will be "shaped", if at all possible, so the trajectory of the projectile is somewhat self-correcting: if the projectile starts to get ahead of the planned trajectory, the acceleration will decrease, while if it lags the acceleration will increase.

This is analogous to the way train bogies go around corners.

Maybe this might be true, but it is hard to believe that if those designs would really exists that there wouldn't be one state which would enable such a project. China, Russia, most countries in Asia not exactly full of "anti-nuclear hysteria and high-inertia bureaucracy". They just would build one of your magic nuclear reactors.

At the moment there are over 60 new reactors being constructed in 13 countries (eg. in China, South Korea, UAE and Russia). And they are all not of this magic type.

I think you are falling to some crude propaganda of the nuclear industry which would love to get more tax money.

Whoever decided that either of those highways, let alone both, should be routed as they are was a demented bastard.

I tend to think that the C++ standards committee went off into template la-la land a few years back. Everything has to involve templates, "metaprogramming", and excessive gyrations within the type system. If you want to compute at compile time, C++ templates are a terrible way to do it.

The fundamental problem with C++ is that it has hiding ("abstraction") without safety. No other major language does that. In C, there's no memory safety but everything is explicit in source. In memory-safe languages, there's memory safety even if there's lots of abstraction.

Rust has a brilliant idea in the borrow checker, but the type system is kind of weird, the attempt to bolt on functional programming is marginal, and error handling involves hacks such as "try!()". But with enough use, those aren't so bad. Maybe. Personally I would have preferred Python-type "with" clauses and exception handling to RAII. If anything goes wrong in a destructor, Rust cannot help you.

The comments remind me of the time I tried to get a copy of my credit report from one of the big 3 agencies back in '09. One of the authentication questions was, "What is the name of your mortgage company?" My house had been foreclosed during a divorce 5 years earlier, and of course the mortgage had been sliced and diced about 15 times by different companies during the heyday of mortgage-based derivatives before the '08 crash. I finally gave up trying to get a copy from those guys.

Basic income will certainly affect price levels in uneven and unpredictable ways. I can understand why you're concerned. The same is true of free trade. There are always going to be winners and losers. But, as far as the macroeconomy is concerned, it's the most efficient way of doing things.

I could make some very compelling arguments about why basic income wouldn't make child care, surgery, education, or nursing more expensive. Perhaps, though, we'd see inflation in the price of luxury goods in rural villages in India, where the amount of the basic income would be relatively huge. But by getting into specific examples, we'd be losing the forest for the trees.

Your distinction between "free money" and "earned money" is failing to resonate with me. Once the money is in a consumer's hand, does it matter how it got there?

People who don't need or qualify for BI, who makes money the hard way, will now need to compete with money from BI

This is an important point. Not everyone will receive the basic income at first. As we roll out the basic income, we should be careful about mitigating any resentment toward those who receive it. The basic income would eventually be something that everyone gets, but before then, this is a real concern.

Clearly, you feel very strongly about all of this. If you have any additional questions about Gresham Dollar, I'll be happy to address them.

Surprised no one has mentioned the gravitational effect these hubs have -- Sacramento will never really blossom in the tech industry because so much talent gets sucked into SF.

But as plane ticket prices go down, those areas get larger and larger. It's worth saying: "Pittsburgh, this is time sensitive! Boston will eat your lunch by default, so make your moves quickly."

Also, if plane trips get cheap enough, look at how the Hong Kong / Shenzhen area fares. Plenty of money and tech talent, and China's pushing a lot of VC money (although, who know where that ends up). If plane tickets get below the price of a video game console before an American city pops up as a cheap-dense-livable-tech-hub, HK/SZ will probably gobble them just due to order-of-magnitude advantages (4x the VC, 30x the population of SF, with preposterous numbers of PhDs, at some point the advantages will compound into something like SF but 100x more powerful).
You'd prefer explicit "with" clauses even for, say, reference counted types?

Ask HN: How long will it take me to reach 150k again if I take a pay-cut?
I will preface by saying this is the ultimate 1st of world problems.

I'm a 25 year old working in NYC doing senior mobile development (native iOS + Android). My Fiancee wants me to move to the midwest temporarily for 6~ months so she can finish out her school year of teaching (Jan - June after our wedding) and thinks it'd damage her reputation if she quit midyear because she signed a contract...

She thinks I should:

1). Ask to tele-commute with this company if they allow it which would be the easiest option but that's asking a ton from the company.

2). Be fine with taking a pay-cut and expect to make less than 100k and be fine with that cause it's the midwest.

3). She said she'd be willing to move anywhere I choose, if she had this 6 months. So I'd be able to choose NYC again if I wanted to but that's after the 6 months.

It should be noted I've walked away from a blank-check salary early on in my career to take a sub-70k programming job to be near her. Also, am I crazy?? Edit I also have 60k of student loans left with interest rates over 8%.
