Whatever happened to Google's "Project Soli", which did this with millimeter radar? Dev kits are supposed to be available in Fall 2016, so this should be out Real Soon Now.

I understand that the author understands that "that demand" is tourists. What I meant is that you can't measure the amount of demand (tourists) by looking at the amount of supply (restaurants), which the author does.
Probably even worse. Most states require you to buy an expensive 'liquor license' to sell alcohol. And if your municipality doesn't have any to offer you, you might end up buying one for hundreds of thousands of dollars on the open market.
Why? I would think that, as long as there wasn't massive I/O contention between the two, that co-locating Kafka and Zookeeper on the same machines would mitigate a whole massive class of weird edge cases by removing one of the failure modes; the network boundary between the two critical components.

Though for my part I still don't understand why Zookeeper wasn't built as a library to add distributed strongly consistent coordination to software that needs/benefits from it rather than being an external service that needs to be connected to, and thus introduces a gnarly mess of new failure modes that make Zookeeper client behavior extremely critical and often fragile. Something that's more like a "libpaxos/libraft" (e.g. serf for Go-lang or riak_ensemble for Erlang) seems a lot more valuable. /shrug
How does using open source actually avoid that?

Isn't all software opinion, regardless of origin?
I've seen the official Opera installer for Windows exhibit this same behavior.
Heka is really stupid to configure, really fast, and now deprecated... I've used it for log tailing and metrics forwarding extensively and can't recommend it enough if you need to use amqps out.

If you don't need amqps out there are more modern, better supported projects.

It depends on what you mean by "older" shells. More modern shells tend to support this properly, but the baseline for most shell scripts is /bin/sh which is not guaranteed to be modern – it is often a new release of Sh.
AF447 is more complicated than just that sidestick issue, if you look at the accident report closely.

The contributing factors were loss of outside air temperature and airspeed sensors because of icing, a dark moonless night above the ocean, and flying/falling outside of the operating range of the stall horn (when they pitched the nose down, they started recovering from the stall, airspeed went up, and the stall horn activated. when they pitched up, they went back outside of the operating range, and the horn muted).

A big contributing factor as well was that in an airbus, in normal operating conditions, pulling the stick all the way back will configure the aircraft for the best rate of climb (which can be different from just putting the elevator in full climb conditions). Due to the pitot tubes being iced up, the flight computers were in Direct mode (where movement of the sidestick is directly translated in movement of the flight controls, without computer intervention), which didn't help.
There is done truth in that but the whole "doing it wrong" cliche which is overly opinionated and arrogant sounding just made me have to downvote that comment.
Not sure if i can find the map right now. But i seem to recall seeing one showing the wolf related areas, and they were north and south-west of Oslo. Meaning that the wolf would potentially travel straight through the suburbs of Oslo.
On the other hand, when the Japanese had more children, they also took care of elderly parents and maybe had even less space and privacy in their dwellings.

An application has specific features. A platform gives you the ability to build new features by connecting or extending a set of primitives. When an application can be customized in many different ways, especially with hooks for custom code, it starts to look like a platform.
Zab [the distributed consensus algorithm that powers ZK] shares some similarities with Paxos, and requires a quorum of nodes to be online.

If you want highly available ZK, your choices are 3, 5, 7... nodes, for which you can have 1, 2, or 3 nodes offline at any one time.

If you have one node fully down on a 3 node cluster, and there is even a tiny network blip or partition (as often happens in cloud environments) then you are down.

Root can modify the filesystem arbitrarily. To what extent should developers proactively scan their own files for arbitrary changes by 3rd parties? How much work should go into this, rather than fixing other bugs or improving performance?
Yep, clearly that was his plan since he was 19.
This to me is like:

Changed to :

It's not as readable. Maybe as others have suggested, leave it to a compiler.
Bigger MTUs would increase latency but also increase throughput.

You won't see this in too many C style guides:

Emit all optional parentheses in expressions, unnecessary "break;" statements at the end of a switch, the type specifier keyword "int" when "unsigned" is already present in the declaration and other such fluff.

I've done plenty of web scraping in which it was helpful to look for the <body> element.
I'd say because aviation is risk averse and if a condition will impact a certain type or model of aircraft it is not going to be omitted

(the fact that it's a smaller aircraft might imply in having some certification differences as well)
When you say "cloud" I assume you mean the colloquial use, meaning:

- Multiple clients using the same application files

- Hosted in a data center instead of on client-owned servers

- Priced per seat per year/month instead of once, services included in the price as opposed to maintenance

- No local client-side dependencies beyond a browser or your purpose-build, self-contained app (like on a phone)

- Regular updates pushed directly to production instead of patches and updates going out as manually installed files

So, you have to address those individually. There is no way to just "cloud-ize" an on-premise software business. You could start by supporting browsers as a way to access the client, by charging people per seat per month and including services in the price, by hosting customer systems on your server instead of expecting them to support it, by eliminating client-side dependencies like database clients, etc. and by encouraging standardization of features so many customers can use the same application files.

As someone with lots of experience working for a traditional on-premise vendor, most of our customers accepted a virtual version of the system running on the server using Terminal Server and connecting up using RDP. Not fun on a bad connection, but it achieves a similar user experience for desktop apps. For the most part though, people will not accept or consider this cloud. It just allows them to benefit from virtualization, which is where most of the actual technology benefit comes from if we are talking large scale projects.

Made good money converting projects out of those tools.
So yes, everyone should use them.

C++14 and coroutines have replaced state machines in my world. They read like normal code, are easy to customize to your needs.

Had to convert a large PLC system from Beckoff structured text to C++. Coroutines allowed me to model it close enough that a little python translator made it work.

Setup actors with queues that timeout on interval and pump the (taskLets) Coroutines.

Create functions that provide blocking on what ever you like. Events, msgs or time.

Better IMO, compared to code shattered into bubbles in a tool or callbacks everywhere.
It's been a loooooooong time since I've seen the last useful bookmarklet in the wild.

Un-useful, however, was stuff that tried to hijack your FB/Twitter ("hey guys paste this in ur browser and get some n00dz in return"). The amounts of crazy stuff people do for supposed nudes or whatever is just astonishing
Working on it! Hopefully in the next week or two.
I second this. I have a lot of family in the restaurant business, and you don't need amazing food. Don't poison people, of course. But it doesn't have to be special.

Booze is the easiest thing to make money on. The only labour involved is opening the bottle and pouring. My parents were always happy to keep the place open if there was a table of drinkers at the end of the evening.

Buy into a brand that is cool. Not an actual brand like coca-cola, but a cuisine type like Thai or Vietnamese. Those are way more in fashion at the moment than Chinese (bad rep for unhealthiness), but you can make them with the same staff.

Decor and ambience matter more than anything. Being in a fine restaurant is as much about being seen in the right place as eating good food. It's like art; most people can't tell the difference between mediocre and great. But a gallery in Chelsea sends a different signal to one in Shoreditch.

Finally, running a restaurant is indeed difficult. You're competing with people's own cooking, ready-made meals, and every other eatery in the area. Sure, there's three meals a day to sell to each person, but there's also a constant influx of people wanting to give it a go.
Totally. Less text-dependent UIs are a big win to bring into VR. When we reach a more legible resolution for text, that's going to mark a huge increase in VR development productivity because we can be in there the whole time. VR dev offices could get weird during the VR but pre-AR phase, with everyone in their own bubbles developing and chatting away beside each other.
Yes, but virginity is an interesting part of the issue:

> Around 42 percent of men and 44.2 percent of women admitted that they were virgins

this seems quite high, although I haven't compared it to data from other countries. Are Japanese people having less sex? And if so, why?
There's some free VST's that are supposed to be good, and reaper, which isn't really free, but the trial period is at your discretion. Before you start with a DAW, read lots of reviews, watch youtube walkthrus and ask around what your friends use, learning a DAW is a significant chunk of time.

It's a cool metaphor, and I'm sure there are occasions where its easy to pass this off as innocuous. But inconsistent semantics can produce blemishes and bugs that can be difficult to anticipate and can very negatively impact user experience if you aren't careful. The typo explanation is acceptable when I just see some comment I posted being reordered after a page refresh. It's less so if I get locked out of my account because my password change hasn't fully replicated to all servers (and even less so if my consistency model doesn't converge).

To be clear: there's an economic tradeoff to make here that isn't identical at all scales. At a certain point, lost revenue due to user dropoff from availability is more expensive than users who stop using a site due to a frustrating experience (and sometimes that scale itself is the compelling feature able to stave off a user from giving up on your app completely). But in most cases, I think its advisable to start with stronger consistency semantics and only weaken them when a need presents itself. Hell, Spanner is the foundation for Google's ad business, if that's not living proof that you can preserve strong consistency semantics and keep your system sufficiently available, I'm not sure what is.
Great news and congrats to everyone involved!

Among the highlights of this release is Xwidgets, which allows embedding GTK+ widgets inside Emacs buffers.

One such widget is WebKitGTK+, a full-featured port of WebKit for use in GTK+ apps. As a consequence of this you can now browse the internet and maybe watch some YouTube inside Emacs [0].

As I read it, that technology doesn't provide haptic feedback, it just tracks gestures.
Amusingly, the New Yorker (of all places) has the HTML title as 'trill'. But we put an 'h' in there since that's what the page heading has.
Every ecosystem is full of "half-baked" libraries. JS has more as the ecosystem is bigger and the barrier to entry is very low. It's the nature of open source, it's also the nature of open source to evaluate dependencies.
The pessimist view is often correct.

Just think about the hundreds of other talented Nigerian children who built even better games and who are now crushed because Mark picked out this specific kid instead of them (I can guarantee you that there are other more worthy candidates).

Whenever there is a news story about a single random unknown person doing something cool, it's never about the person.

Mark would probably throw the kid under a bus if it would help Facebook.
Yeah I've seen that before. It's really not that interesting. The intelligence board was about nuclear proliferation and they were expanding to include folks with a wider range of skills (rather than just nuclear/political experts). His technology expertise fits what they were after.
I had a ticket and was going to join (I flew out for one in 2015) as I really enjoyed the last time. But then I remembered unless you're looking for a founder you only get to mingle with other, hopeful entrepreneurs and you don't really get good feedback from anyone. And the entire set of presentations end up online.

So if you want to attend for the social experience (which don't get me wrong that's certainly fun) go for it but I'm not convinced it helps anymore beyond watching the videos online. In fact last time it ended up just helping me procrastinate.
It's worth pointing out that this style rule itself is optional, which is to say they're not making a recommendation here, just providing an example of what applying the rule would look like. It carries the same weight as, say, the optional rule about grouping CSS sections and including a section comment[1].

It's called a bribe, folks.
Thats patently untrue. The US is actually very big on small talk and causal chatter. You can't really make a blanket statement about a country the size of the US. New Yorkers will strike up a conversation with total stranger without thinking twice. In the deep south it would be considered rude to not say hello if you were passing someone on your block or street.

Ask HN: What problems can techies solve to help world?
I'm using the term techie to be more general as clearly one could use a variety of skills to solve problems, not just coding.

Sure, there are all kinds of domains that the market will pay for and even more that investors will fund. I'm for the free market.

That said, I think that there are a lot of problems in the world that are barely noticed much less focused on by techies. First of all, why is that? It seems like more and more it's stuff like _Beerme,_ an app that connects people with beer with thirsty people or whatever. Is it because there's no money to be made in solving more important problems?
With the two recent recession dips and the long slog of recovery that doesn't seem to have any real vigor, I think the west might already be on this trajectory instead of merely headed there.
why the downvote? the article says "Real-time access to server-side logs is what makes backend development palatable in the era of cloud computing. As a developer you want to be able to get real-time feedback from your server side code deployed to the actual execution environment in the cloud, especially during active development or staging." and this is another solution that provides that.

One odd thing I noticed. At the size the image displayed on my laptop, I could look at a dot and see the dots to either side, but not the ones above or below, even though they were the same distance apart. I guess at least my fovea must be a horizontal ellipse, rather than a circle.

A minor detail: The name AT&T applies to three different companies:

* 1885-1983: Generally known today as the monopoly phone company for the United States. (I don't know when the monopoly began or its geographic extent.)

* 1983-2005: Long distance company, after the breakup of the monopoly. AFAIK, it had been one small part of the much larger former monopoly.

* 2005-present: The former Southwestern Bell Corp (SBC), which bought the above company and took on its name and branding.

It depends on the simulated screen resolution you are looking to achieve. Even disconnecting from the idea of a screen, you have to accept that the resolution is effectively lower than the current generation of monitors. That being said, I was able to use my IDE with my vive as long ad I bumped up the font size. It wasn't really very practical, but was very cool. I think that the next generation of hardware or the one after will get to the point where you can code in VR/AR/MR. I'm very excited about that personally.
Damn, I imagined hordes of wolves roaming about, but then I open an article and learn that there's only 68.
In this case, there is no need to proactively scan anymore. It was reported by users.

I stressed the wrong thing before. If it can not be fixed, say so.

Japan has a fertility rate of 1.41. Replacement rate is around 2.1 to maintain the population. Here's the world table.[1] Most of the developed world is below replacement rate. Most of Africa is above 4. India is at 2.51; China is at 1.55. Singapore is at the bottom at 0.8.

It's amazing to see that much variation between countries.

Maybe Japan shouldn't have cracked down on love hotels.

Well in rich countries you have govt to take care of you when something goes wrong. In countries like India you have to depend on the magnanimity of strangers, so its in you best interest to make friends.

our professions and interests have diversified a lot over past couple of decades so the chances of running into a stranger who has similar interests to yours are lower.

This one is prbly just me, I am afraid of talking to women and be accused of sexual harassment which these days can be just spreading your legs too wide.

I am not saying ppl necessarily do this consciously at an individual level but talking about culture as whole.
Classic lobbying. The Department of Justice is filing the complaints against the institutions offering free online courses with an illogical argument masked with virtuous intent. The DOJ is okay with the paid online courses because the levying cost on consumers provides immunity to such violations. Depriving everyone's access to the free content because it did not accommodate those with disabilities sets dangerous precedent for the future. You can't design a system that accommodate everybody from the beginning. Progress requires time and the rational reason for DOJ to begin this investigation is corporate lobbying. What businesses or markets would benefit from this?

The carefully worded letter appears reasonable, except what purpose was conveyed other than forcing the universities to incur high litigation fees? Using ADA as a weapon to purge free sharing of collective intelligence is despicable. I understand universities have limited resources and priorities for their enrolled students, but they should retaliate out of principles.

The community can help with providing captions. Charing $1 fee. Routing the money to a charity. Anything is better than removing the content because that is the complaint's end goal.
"How can something be "too good for the sport" is beyond me"

Here is a similar, but possibly easier to understand, example that would revolutionize/kill the sport of shooting: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/01/17000-linux-powered-r....

A later article (http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/08/gun-linux-on-the-rang...) wrote:

"my photojournalist buddy Steven Michael nailed a target at 1,008 yards—about 0.91 kilometers—on his first try, in spite of never having fired a rifle before"

The first person using such a gun in shooting competitions would probably be called a genius in the sport, but soon every competitor would use it, and nobody would miss anymore.

The curling situation is similar in the sense that, if this were allowed, curling players no longer need to have good control of direction, speed, and spin of the stones they throw.
