Because while all we can see is the blinking light, the probe can see the things close to it far more clearly. As the above quote says the probe will "beam back pictures of the star’s planets." We can receive these pictures through the data received from that blinking light, but we can't see the planets in question. Now we can.

Timing the market is usually but not always a losing strategy. The best variables to watch are the cost of renting versus the cost of owning. I remember by 2006 these costs had diverged in certain markets to the point where CAP rates were negative (you couldn't make money buying and renting 80% LTV property out). That was a pretty definitive sign that there was turmoil in the market. If renting is or becomes much cheaper than owning, then don't be afraid to keep renting and don't panic buy just to feel like an owner.
The useful idiots/bootlickers are there whenever there's any kind of scandal or assignment of blame.

Remember: if a person's model of the world favors authority over realism, authority is perpetually blameless in their eyes.

Uh, not quite. Imgur would still die if Reddit went away. Same for Instagram. If Twitter and FB went away, it'd die.
This is a variation of the old Starwisp idea from 1985:

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

tl;dr: a lightweight (about 1kg) vehicle made out of carbon wire mesh. It acts as a microwave mirror. You both use this for propulsion, by blasting it with microwaves from a Sol-system maser cannon, and for data recovery; its sensors cause the reflected microwave signal to be perturbed based on what its sensors see.

So, you accelerate them (in bulk) at about 2G up to .1c. You ignore it until it's about 80% of the way there, and then for fire the maser at it again; the beam reaches the starwisp as it passes through the target system and powers the sensors. A few years later you read back the return signal.

There were a whole bunch of technical problems with it, not least how to build a microwave lens 560km across, but it's still vastly more plausible than trying to push steel cans across the interstellar gulf. I'd be really interested to see if this version works.
Depends what you mean. 3D/360-degree? It's sort of doable using cameras and software to stitch and interpolate all the different angles but you're still viewing from a fixed perspective. That works in the current crop of VR headsets. Same with 3D/180-degree (or similar wide angle but not 360 3D stuff). I've watched several on my Rift dev unit.

Getting into "real" 3D, like being able to view from any angle is trickier but there are experimental and in-development methods of doing this. The easiest works for CG stuff (just look at your 3D content in your headset). The more realistic it gets, the closer to a "movie" in 3D. Combining video footage with CG environments is a nice little "cheat" that's already been played with as well.

But the real challenge and (as I see it) the ultimate goal in this space is being able to use something like multiple light field cameras or RGB+depth cameras (think Kinect) arrayed around a room or environment and capturing both live video and the 3-dimensional structure of the surroundings and any objects or people. The depth data from the various angles needs to be combined and "textured" with the video data in order to create something approaching a real 3D recording of something over time (so maybe they'll need to advertise as 4D movies).

Even cooler is when you can compress all of this data and stream it over networks to be decoded on the other end. The result will be like 3D telepresence where you're all but transported to another location.

Microsoft has been working along those lines and it makes sense since they have Kinect and Hololens. This is the sort of thing that will be the real "killer app" for VR/AR as far as I can guess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d59O6cfaM0

I like that you have an example, but I'm not getting the results you are. Perhaps there is some oddity with your odd use of pointers?

I switched the code to this:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
const int b = 9;
b = 10;
printf("%d",b);
}

And I get a very clear "error" and nothing compiled with gcc, icc, and clang. Did you maybe have a left over binary from a previous compilation? I didn't try OSX, but it's possible the real moral would be to always pay attention to warnings.

I'm not a fan of any company. But a company is an amalgamation of its employees, and employees when they come in absorb the company culture ( that's why everyone says the culture is important) and that's why you don't change the company culture unless a significant number of high level employees all leave at once.

and my second point is - Steve Ballmer left in 2014.
Big corporations and big government bureaucracies are very similar to each other. In both cases you have tons of formalisms required by law, and lots of people jockeying for status and money.

How to Strategically Procrastinate and Actually Boost Your Creativity
Heh, did you watch "The Intern"? Thanks to that movie, I actually think this is a really awesome idea.

But, obvious two-sided marketplace. I think you are likely to hit bottlenecks on both sides. Are the signups willing to pay, and how much? I think that's the key to the whole thing. I also think you need to focus on a narrow niche. My grandma recently did this "Road Scholar" program, which might be similar in nature (all-inclusive trips targeted at sr citizens with a scholarly/educational component).

It also wasn't that long ago when many people were still saying "the banks did nothing wrong, so why would they be punished?"

Well, they clearly did do something wrong. Unfortunately, no one pays with jail time for defrauding their way into the financial crisis, and when they do get punished it's usually for a small fraction of the sums they gained, much less than the public is let to believe they are paying thanks to various loopholes. All of this also after being saved by taxpayer money (they only paid some of it back, but there were other programs, some secret, in which they got even more money).

> So Goldman Sachs will get a government subsidy for defrauding the American public. The government is literally subsidizing their fraud with taxpayer money.

That's not a fair shake at how deductions work. They aren't getting paid a subsidy, they are paying less tax because of higher expenses. No money is going from "the taxpayer" to Goldman.

The government wanted it this way because they can point to a bigger number and get money to where they want it without having to get Congress to do anything (which they won't).

One of the explanations of why we are not seeing evidence of ETs is that everybody is hiding and afraid they might get bombed by their neighbors; that's because bombing your neighbors is orders of magnitude easier to do than visiting them -- you don't need to solve the problem of decelerating on the other end for one thing.

Then you may like Kaki King and/or Stanley Jordan as well. As a multi-decade player I can appreciate the technique and talent on display, I really can. However, the reason you haven't heard of him before, and others of a similar level of musicianship, is something that my Dad once told me: "Audiences don't like it when the music goes over their head." His point was that impressing other musicians is a very limited market - not trying to insult it, just being pragmatic.
This is actually a problem whether you're using continuous deployment or not. You need to put a release out, which you have done some testing for, but you know that only real production traffic can shake out certain types of problems.

You don't have to have all three servers getting the same amount of traffic, and you don't have to have a single copy of your service on each server. So, you could reduce the weight of a single server that does canary traffic to reduce the pain, or you could run two copies of your service on a server, and have the canary copy get a trickle of traffic.

Another approach is to use shadow traffic - instead of handling the requests on the canary host, you handle it on the production host _and_ the canary host. You'd need to ensure the canary can't adjust the production database, for example - or maybe you only shadow read requests. If you don't get any errors, or you're able to prove to yourself that they function the same, you can then move to a more traditional canary.

You definitely need to adjust your continuous deployment implementation to your environment, whatever it is.
I think another lesson in security is that 2FA are sometimes completely broken because of real use-case where the user lose his second authenticator device. This is one of the reason I'm really iffy about setting up 2FA on my own accounts.
As an aside/complaint, I truly wish there was a way to emulate raw feedback. Back when I lived with my parents in the middle of nowhere, I could crank my tiny amp up to 10, put earmuffs on, and just let the noise wash over me when I crouched next to my amp. Now I'm in a house with a child, and no VST is going to give me that same thrill. I could perhaps buy an e-bow and stand near it when I'm soloing, but it won't be utter chaos.

If you are trying out the client for the first time, you may want to use the --test-cert flag, and a domain name that does not receive live traffic. This will get certificates from our staging server. They won’t be valid in browsers, but otherwise the process will be the same, so you can test a variety of configuration options without hitting the rate limit.

> the disaster never would have happened if they had built it on higher ground

If it had been a heap of solar panels and wind turbines that got hit by a wave, at worst they'd lose some generating capacity and find the odd solar panel washing up in Hawaii.

Every accident "would have never happened if...". the point is to reduce the consequences when things do happen - we know damn well we can't stop every accident.

Honestly nuclear power had plenty of issues to solve before the Fukushima accident.
Excellent work guys! I had developed a custom caching solution for storm in v0.9.6. Its great that distributed caching is being supported now. I would love to see some more documentation and examples on it.

It is also definitely possible to go overboard with chopping up your code. I'm sure everyone has read that file where damn near every single line ended up in its own little function (in its own file with some big framework around it) and you're jumping all over the place trying to figure out what its actually doing.

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Well then some good has come of it :-).
I still write originals but I only put them in my set if they're better than the covers I know.

More indie rock bands should play more covers and stop pretending like they're god's gift to songwriting. More people would go to and enjoy their shows.

The country, bluegrass, jam, americana and folk scenes have tons of fans that support a large number of pro and semi-pro pickers and singers. They play a lot of covers because people do like to hear their favorite songs played live. A lot of them get to the point where they're playing like half their own songs, but some will always play songs written by other people.

The pickers that can play lead on an instrument, sing, and write songs are called "triple threats". These guys are few and far between and end up being superstars. Jimi Hendrix, Merle Haggard, Jerry Garcia, Willie Nelson and Brad Paisley, just to name a few. They play lead instruments on other people's recordings, sing other people's songs, and write songs for other people. Notice the emphasis on "other people". That's kind of lacking in indie music, which instead has a philosophy of solipsism. It's built right in to the DIY ethic. Don't sing someone else's songs, sing your own songs. It's ultimately a losing formula.

I make more money, play to more people and have more fun playing covers to people down at corporate gigs or just down at the local bar than I ever did in whatever indie rock band I've played in throughout the years. It seemed like we were trying to reinvent music from a faded memory in every indie band I was in. Covers were uncool, and we had to define "Our sound". "Our sound" ended up being much shittier than traditional forms like country or the blues.

Oh well, indie rock will be dead in 10 years tops. I've got a lot of refugees from the indie rock scene learning to play more traditional music. Either that or they just hang up their guitars for good. The DIY ethos is just too alienated and embittered to for people who feel like making the transition to adulthood.

Could you add a 4th (maybe even smaller) server, and configure your load balancer to only route 5% of traffic to this server? We have the same problem, continuously enough requests to implement a system like this, but we only run on a small number of production servers. We've recently added a canary server into the pool, which does increase costs a little, but we made it a small instance, and route only a small amount of traffic to it.
> There is no terrorism-proof reactor design.

There is no terrorism-proof anything. Whatever system a human devises, another can outsmart if they put their heart to it. You could use the same argument against building airplanes, airports, shopping malls, bus stops, power lines, schools... pretty much everything.

Also consider that blowing up a hydro plant can result in much more direct fatalities than blowing up a nuclear reactor. Not to mention that any attack on power transmission infrastructure will likely kill even more people.

FTA:

> But the argument that “life choices” made by women are the real reason behind the gap is, in itself, an absurd oversimplification. Sure, many women choose to stay home or cut back their hours after having children. But many others don’t opt out. They’re forced out because they cannot afford child care, or find a full-time job that affords them any kind of flexibility.

There is no reason to believe that lack of flexibility or not being able to afford day care wouldn't hit men in the same way, too.

The people who call it a myth show that the gap disappears as soon as you control for these variables. Actually, the gap disappears to a large degree by looking at actual hours worked instead of just the yearly salary of jobs with the same description.
Correct. New version, as 10.3 only came out in the last couple weeks.
Would you be opposed to publishing your architecture on github with minimal examples? The examples would need to be enough for someone to test out and verify for themselves. I think that would help people understand and contrast this against other solutions.
We wouldn't be able to see the probe itself, rather we'd see its laser. The planet outputs (or reflects) vastly more total light than the laser, but the laser is pointed directly at the receiver and can output more light in that specific direction than the planet does. Plus, to get interesting data about the planet we need to get quite a lot of light from it, whereas we can get data from the laser over time by pulsing it so long as we can get any light from it at all.
