This article is nice, but it's missing discussion of a key component which is painfully obvious in the composited image: you have to match the lighting on your subject with how it would look in the actual scene.

You can do this digitally (as part of color grading), but the ideal solution is to do it IRL with light color. Especially if you're shooting with a consumer grade camera and have to live with the severely limited colorspace headroom.
> Public schools in USA are the worst government institutions ever.

Clearly you've never dealt with the VA or IHS. Both of which are actually funded by the Federal Government as opposed to the States & Towns which mostly fund public schools.
I tried this but the coffee kept filling up my shoe.
I'm really loving following this and I admire the tenacity this must take. For example...

Screen brightness too low? Okay, just whip out some ancient circuit diagrams, trace them to find the capacitor at fault, find that capacitor on the board, desolder it, test it, find that it's faulty, resolder a new one. Well that helped but it's not much better sigh. Now examine the switch, CRT tube, etc.

And here I've been known to throw in the towel when having 'this' issues in JS.
One of the points the OP makes is that even if you think someone's decisions are stupid, it doesn't mean they are without legitimate grievance.
My biggest concern with the Gc ideas floating around Rust right now is that they may infect your program through dependencies.

I guess I'm mostly worried about Gc being used by a large number of libraries, to the extent that it might not matter if stdlib implements it or not, because by using some very popular library you'd end up pulling in this runtime dependency.

Part of me loves the flexibility this will bring to application design, but it could be a slippery slope.
I used to have that mindset and it felt like a strength at the time, but now I see it as something that held me back from being better. Obviously it's best to stick to a high quality subset of the language in your code. But the brain doesn't run out of storage space, and having a deeper knowledge of the whole language brings context and confidence that makes you better at developing. These books have a refreshing, academic willingness to deep-dive into obscure language quirks out of pure curiosity, and the result is a fascination with the language and an understanding of why things are how they are. This means my whole approach to writing JS is now positive and creative, not resistant and resentful. Honestly, buy all of these books and read them, they're short and manageable and geeky and fascinating.
There is an analogy to be drawn between software and societies, and they way their early adaptations to one environment block their later adaptions to another.
"In this Brexit vote, the poor turned on an elite who ignored them"

Not in any rational sense. They voted for the even more elite: an ex-stockbroker (Farage) and an old Etonian (Johnson).

If anything I'd say the leave camp is entirely composed of the elite who want to take even more away from the working class. They didn't like being told what to do by the EU because they didn't like its left-of-centre policies.
A further claim is that increasing welfare reduces work effort. Is this disputed?

I don't know why we are discussing drug tests for welfare, but simple arithmetic provides a very low bar for them to be cost effective. Google suggests a drug test costs $10-30. If welfare costs $15,000/year, then you only need to have a 0.2% positive rate for it to be worth it.

Do you think folks on welfare do drugs at a rate lower than 0.2%?
Is my understanding correct that this is basically a built-in virtual HSM, with the advantages of being a) fully programmable and b) not performance-limited?
You probably should consider buying better microSD cards and if possible, avoid FAT32.
I would guess they count each frame individually, since the feathers in each one have to be posed and rendered individually.
>How is it not a failure of political science and Democrats that represent African Americans on all levels of government?

It could be a systemic racist system that marginalizes them even in the post-civil rights era--the sort of thing that Black Lives Matter and the NAACP propose. I'm not sure what "political science" or "Democrats" have to do with that other than tangentially.
I was about to post a link to them. Full CRT rebuilding is a reasonable option for a B/W tube. (Color requires very precise electron gun alignment so the shadow mask lines up with the dots, and that's hard to do as a repair.)

The last commercial CRT rebuilder for ordinary TVs in the US closed in 2010.[1] But there's still a company that does it for military display devices that need to be kept going.[2] "We are your obsolescence solution now and in the future."

It really is a custom tube. PARC built the first tubes in-house (PARC was also a copier R&D facility, so they could build precision optoelectronics) but then sent the job out for production.

One unrecognized issue by most of the west but recognized in places like Russia, Japan, SKorea, China, is while they may promote equality and universal values, they are careful not to subvert their own people. That is the gain for others is not at the expense of their working class. They typically extoll thru working class --even if sometimes, they betray them. But at least they make an effort rather than vilify and denigrate them as illiterate, lumpen masses of bigoted people who deserve being swept aside by a tide of workers willing to undercut them because however underpaid the newcomers are, they are much better off than remaining back home.
One possibility is the ideas are dumb. It's easy to live in an ecco chamber and not notice.

Or possibly your not clearly expressing the ideas.

The people you are talking to could also be misinformed.
> Even a trivial tree is hard to implement in Rust, and the implementation will be severely limited: https://github.com/SimonSapin/rust-forest

I mean, you haven't actually pointed at a trivial tree implementation. The requirement that children be able to navigate to siblings is the issue here (complicating unique ownership by parents).

You could totally do a "trivial tree" as

struct Tree<T> {
payload: T,
children: Vec<Tree<T>>,
}

which your link even says. You would need a handle to the parent to surf around through siblings, is the limitation.

It's not really clear (to me) that the rctree is really all that complicated; the Rc stuff is there to clarify ownership: for how long should allocated memory stick around. It might just read weirdly due to familiarity, in the same way that D might weird me out.

You may have failed to notice the British "mass influx of low skilled labour" in Europe. The uneducated immigrants are not only from the PIGS countries or from Eastern Europe. It turns out some are British too! But the Brits in the UK often forget that. Easier to see the straw in the eyes of others.

Should Spain and France implement a points & qualifications visa system for all those Brits in the South? After all, many are working in bars, estate agencies, construction, some even shock, shock are petty criminals [1] or lead criminal organizations [2].

What will the UK do if the EU sends back half a million Brits (that's like a new Manchester landing all of a sudden!).

I'm just trying to give a different perspective, but I'm completely in favour of more freedom of movement. I'm very happy to have more diversity in my countries (I have two European nationalities, have lived in 5 EU countries and feel like a world citizen with a European background).

I really hope we find a new solution of understanding and cooperation.

Nice! Instead of generating Markdown files, you could also generate full HTML documentation similar to Slate. The generated Markdown files can be used in Slate since the format seems to be similar. Actually I opened an issue in swagger-codegen repo (https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/issues/1387) and we talked about it. The reason that I created a separate project is that the the example usage section and the format didn't seem to be implemented as language in swagger-codegen.

Well, as the article points out, the things being imaged are most definitely actual atoms. The only thing TFA is nitpicking about is that light isn't used to image those atoms.

This is about as interesting as pointing out the fact that an ultrasound picture of a baby isn't an "actual picture", since we use sound instead of light to make the image.
I guess you haven't read the Culture novels? They explain it better than I could.

The short form is that they've solved Friendliness and handed most of the management over to hyperintelligent, near-omnipotent benevolent AIs. The only real problems left for individuals qualify as "how to not get bored", which for the most part they approach by cultivating eye-watering arrays of esoteric and satisfying hobbies, projects, arts and crafts, high-brow debates, luxurious indulgences, social groups, and games. The few people that still aren't satisfied generally end up in their diplomatic corps slash military slash spy agency slash police force. "Ultimate" may have been an exaggeration, but it is by far the most satisfying utopia I've seen described.
The working class is _always_ ruled by the elite, by _definition_. So you're not really making any point (or sense).
> The comments that I leave in favor of Brexit are labeled xenophobic, racist

We're already seeing an increase in hate crime. Here's one example, but there are others.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2016/jun/25/brexit-...

> Police are investigating suspected post-referendum racism after hate mail aimed at the Polish community was allegedly distributed in Cambridgeshire.

> Laminated cards reading “Leave the EU - no more Polish vermin” were found in Huntingdon, north west of Cambridge.

> The Polish language newspaper, Nasze Strony, reports on the incident and on the fact that the cards even had a translation in Polish on the reverse.

> Teachers at a school near to where some of the cards were found yesterday reportedly threw them away but more were left on a path leading to it later.

> Inspector Nick Percival of Cambridgeshire Constabulary told the Guardian that police were aware of the incident.

> He added: “We are aware of it and have had a report from a member of the public. We are following up are taking it seriously as it does represent a hate crime. We would encourage anyone who is either a victim or is aware of the source of this to come forward.”

And Johnson and Farage are amongst those who could possibly gain the most from this result. So how is it not in the interest of the elite to reinforce this distrust? I'd say that kind of interpretation is valid to explore.
Dumb views are dumb views, never mind the precedence.

The idea that African Americans statistics have nothing to do with African Americans personal and collective history and it's just 'the way they are' (and, basically, that it's what you are implying) it's pretty dumb in my book.

The same apply to 'rednecks' by the way.
You're right. We don't need to sacrifice anyone and it's against EU values.

Sadly, I think JS is at its best with most of ES3, a little of ES5, and drop of ES6. There's still a tiny, good (Ok... adequate) language underneath all the cruft. But unfortunately there's a lot of extra unnecessary complexity in JS that makes it easy for us to write unneccesarily complex and unreliable code.

And unfortunately, I think that because that complexity is there, programmers may feel they have to understand and use that complexity. Instead they should be actively preventing it from entering their brains and their codebase.

Yes. some would argue that's what they're paying you for.
I don't think that's intentional. CSPAN had the Yellen congressional grilling on this week; at least nobody was able to formulate this question in a way to make me suspect it's anything but a side effect.

Poor comfort, but it's something.

Certain classes of assets are under fairly severe devaluation. When the winners are companies like Apple - which is a company with a pretty anti-elitist, popular product - this also presents headwinds to this sort of theory.

IMO, I rather like Steve Randy Waldman's essay "Depression Is a Choice".
It's already a confusing mess, and you aren't getting that genie back in the bottle. "Web Assembly Component" would probably be the best compromise.
I don't buy this argument. The author is trying to fit the Brexit vote into his broader thesis about economic inequality, but it doesn't quite fit the facts.

Does the author really consider the heavily pro-EU residents of Liverpool, Glasgow, or Northern Ireland to be establishment elites?

> Consider African Americans: 73% of kids born to single mothers

Why the value judgement on single mothers? Also, the 73% is out of wedlock, not necessarily single mothers. Single mother numbers are actually 67%.

>and huge level of incarceration.

Incarceration policies put in place by republicans and democrats.

>How is it not a failure of political science and Democrats that represent African Americans on all levels of government?

It is a failure of American political policy. However, the answer isn't to build a wall or stop immigration. The answer is to improve education, train people for the jobs that actually exist in our economy, and if all else fails, figure out what we do when there just aren't enough jobs, not just pretend like manufacturing is going to come back. American manufacturing has never produced more goods than the present, but it also employees almost no one, because automation is amazing [1].

The stakes are getting very high already: the establishment was blind-sided by the shattering wrath of the poor and disenchanted who saw voting out as way of making their voices finally heard from under the neoliberal din of austerity and social disintegration. This was a casual effort for them - a piece of paper in a ballot box. But they now have an even more right-wing regime who are showing every sign of not understanding the monster that has arisen. For the first time in my life I'm scared - really scared of what might happen in the UK if this goes badly. So far, I can't see many scenarios in which it won't.
Please don't post unsubstantive rants, and please don't break the HN guidelines by going on about downvotes (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). Especially not "Love how I get down votes for the truth", which is the most tedious trope of them all.
Let me guess, you probably make a lot of presumptive statements that have no basis in reality about what a lot of people say. Or perhaps that is just in this instance. I can, nevertheless, point out to you that that isn't going to get you very far in rational discourse.
>One unrecognized issue by most of the west but recognized in places like Russia, Japan, SKorea, China, is while they may promote equality and universal values, they are careful not to subvert their own people.

Then how come Russia and China keep their working classes poor, Japan and South Korea rabidly overwork people, and Japan has allowed three Lost Decades?
Not a math student, but I tried it anyway:

e^(1 - 1/(1 - (x - 1)^2)) else

We Need More Problem / Solution Discovery in Programming
I read once that GoW was so successful because in the beginning it took strategy and networking to succeed, and that brought in a different customer base than most gaming platforms. Business professionals, high earners, military veterans. The problem with having those folks as a customer base is they expect to be treated like intelligent individuals, which Mz refuses to do. The requests being made are basic, fundamental customer service issues. MZs response to push harder for more spending, even to create an entire day's worth of events around paying equal to a large mortgage was the worst possible idea, yet they continue with it. Now they have new business ventures, and in one article said they are excited to see where GoW is at in 2017. As a dedicated player of 3 years, I find it hard to believe that GoW will last that long with their current trajectory.
You can explore it as much as you want. There will always be those who are well-to-do found in every cause.

They voted for self-governance and sovereignty. Many had their own reasons and desires for that sovereignty, but that's what they voted for.

Why should any people have a desire to be a part of a political organization over which they have zero control, but must pay taxes to? That is antithetical to democracy and good governance.

Can you just pack up and move to Google? No. They need to want to hire you. This is not completely unlike needing to meet some immigration standards to move to another country. Free immigration, in the sense of the EU, would be the equivalent of people deciding they want to work for Google and they just show up and claim a cubicle.
