The lens of a camera cannot lie, but video editing can.

In the spirit of trying new ideas, I think this is definitely an interesting one. I think it will be interesting to see how the public responds to this.

That said, I see a couple of things happening:
1) Most people will not care about this, nor use it. Human apathy is pretty powerful, and I don't mean that in a bad way. I think the majority of us are happy going about our own lives, and don't really want to upset that order. If a crime is happening, I don't think a lot of people will react to it, especially like in the video.

2) A small percentage of people will react, but that's probably not what you want in a situation like this. In emergency response, the number one thing they drill into you is to ensure the area is safe and secure. Paramedics will not render aid to a person if it means they could be harmed themselves. It's useless to have the paramedic injured as well as the victim(s).

LEO and emergency personnel are trained to respond to these situations, and are paid to put their lives on the line. Adding other citizens to the mix is dangerous and irresponsible. I understand that Vigilante is only encouraging people to record what's happening, but even that act is dangerously provocative.

Nevertheless, it is an interesting idea, and I likely have outlined the same kneejerk reaction that most would have to this, and I could very well be wrong. I think this type of app would work best in larger situations like at protests or more open public spaces. Situations like those in the video probably won't happen often, and probably would have the issues I brought up. But then, how is Vigilante different from folks just posting videos on FB Live, Twitter/Periscope, etc.?
My title is actually "Senior Programmer/Analyst". But, I think your observation is correct that it's not as common to have a title like mine anymore.

It's strictly due the historical development of our field. Computer systems were limited to large organizations in the early days. VMS, Unix, Windows, and less expensive hardware allowed smaller, less well-funded organizations to jump into the game.

In internal IT departments, software developers have become the "jack-of-all trades, master of none" people. We fulfill analyst, developer, operations person, and support with little to no training in any area. IMO, part of the reason software systems are so fragile nowadays is this "generalist" mentality. Mind you there are plenty of other factors that are, IMO, mostly social.

All that said, there is a tendency to think of software development like assembly line manufacturing. There was a Dyson vacuum ad that I loved. The supposed owner of the company showed the vacuum in operation and then talked
about the 239 (not sure of the exact number) versions that came before it. Once the company got it right on the 240th model, mass-assembling the vacuums was quick. Building a model, letting users work with it, integrating their feedback into a new model, this embodies software development. And it's expensive along at least one of two dimensions: money or time.

(Edit: 240 to 239)
Anecdotal evidence. I live in Stockholm. I talk at a conference about once/month, nearly always outside Sweden. Nearly every industrial conference has problems with wifi. Never in Sweden. Anywhere do we have problems at hotels, venues, massive conferences. We have the bandwidth. Most other countries do not, and leaving Sweden is always like going back in time, tbh. Everybody i know has fibre to the home, irrespective if they live in an appartment or suburban house. The suburban house people complain that it costs them 1-2k Euro to pay for the fibre, but they pay for it. The people who don't have fibre to the home are mostly old people (lots of them!) and farmers (and lots of them have it anyways).
From taxes, or EU subsidies (which are still taxes).
But it's the same concept as building roads or other basic infrastructure. As a government, you invest in creating infrastructure in your country even if in purely commercial terms is less profitable. You reduce the digital divide, you lay out infrastructure for future growth, you create jobs, and so on. Different models, pros and cons for each one.
In all fairness, if someone throws a brick through your window you'll have police at the scene in relatively short order and most buildings don't need to worry about their doors being proofed against C4. On the other hand, if your software project gets hacked or DDOS'd you have no recourse unless they're incredulously sloppy or you're a mixture of wealthy and influential.

I do think software engineering as a profession should take notes from other engineering disciplines - but to compare them apples to apples is a touch unfair when our discipline is much newer, routinely attacked by bad actors (fer teh lulz, no less), and we're regularly updating our toolset to accommodate for changes in a much more rapidly-evolving landscape.
On UNIX systems fork+execve is a very commonly used code path - build a piece of software using make for example and the compiler process is forked/exec'ed lot of times, web servers like Apache used multiprocess model for long time etc. Yeah you could decide to not care about fork+exec* performance but what I am familiar with (Linux land) a lot of optimizations go into making fork/exec faster.

Also my bigger point though was not that it was in hot code path (although I would prefer to not be in a position where I need to change execve to add two allocs and copies if I can avoid it) - it was that they had to change execve() this late in the OS's development cycle to fix this long standing bug - typically you get to a point where you don't really need to touch core OS code and when you do you risk adding new issues to a central piece of code.
I agree, I expected loads of compatibility issues and weird bugs, but I have been pleasantly surprised. Integration with apt package management is solid and has so far worked like a charm.

My only complaint is that I had to opt in to the bleeding edge test versions of Windows 10, so my computers keep restarting themselves (often deleting registry settings like keyboard remaps and custom global hotkeys in the process) practically weekly. Anyone know of a way to keep my bash shell without having to (practically) reinstall Windows every week?
"I'll take a Wes Anderson movie about volcanoes, with Bill Murray starring in it, computer."
Has anyone seen a non-compete enforced?

I know plenty of engineers (not of the software kind, though) that quit to work at competitors, but when there are three companies in the world that make electron scanning microscopes or whatnot, it's practically impossible not to.

Enforcing a non-compete seems like it would be an uphill battle.
I had quite a memorable experience where a Google recruiter accidentally CC'd their post interview survey email instead of BCC. After the initial "haha" moment we discovered that almost all of the ~2k people in the email list were African American. A private LinkedIn group was started after that, although I haven't followed up with it lately.

Also for that particular interview, I waited for an hour and a half in the lobby before a recruiter finally showed up. It turned out that my recruiter was let go the day before and my interview time fell between the cracks. Pretty much the worst experience I've ever had interviewing.
Zut!
Apple is often worth being mimicked and when it comes to form factor, doubly so. However, I think this comment is shortsighted and completely devalues everything Microsoft is coming out with lately. They have added things to their products that Apple has yet to add, and they're making innovative jumps that Apple is scared to make.

Did I miss the part of the article where they create a Monet style from multiple Monet works and apply it, rather than using the style of an individual painting? I thought that was the point of this. They sort of do it in the last image, I guess. Seems to pick up so much actual color, though! (as opposed to perhaps the quality of the color or how it's used, which is just as characteristic of a particular style as the color itself)

shhhh. :-D Yes, I applied the tool the article was about to see if it would work. (It's probably the first time I've ever used that formula in my life.)

You'll notice the poster let it be (if they noticed my reply). I'd like to see it in action though, so it would be better if they chose to reply so I could get that data point haha. I'll probably forget to start using it soon.
From my experience, this is very normal. I'm surprised you don't find it normal.
My mother-in-law has a cabin in northern Minnesota. It's three miles outside a town of 150 people. Her utility lines are buried. Meanwhile, I live four miles from the center of a metro area of three million and everything in my neighborhood is above ground.

I suspect the major difference is that the power and phone companies in the little town are customer-owned coops while the utilities in my metro area are huge conglomerates.
We debated whether to leave those statistics in, even though we're citing major sources. You can look at these statistics from different angles.

Our main point is that there is still a real and often growing problem with violent crime, especially in the communities we're working with. Many people still feel very unsafe and are looking for solutions.

We've gotten a lot of positive feedback both from police and civilians. People are excited to see a tech company trying to help, and they have told us they feel safer when others are recording the scene in a peaceful and unbiased way. During our beta tests we had users help deter crime, break up fights, and support their neighbors.
> But neither the U.S. nor Sweden puts fiber on every road and street.

Firstly, Sweden pretty much intends to do so. The official goal is to bring at least 100 Mbps service to at least 90% of the population by 2020. Many municipalities/states have programs to build out fiber to everybody.

Sweden also already has a cable running to almost every premise, so in practice every road and every street is already passed. In 2011 xDSL covered 98,5% of the population and only 1100 households or businesses had no service or less than 1 Mbps service.

Secondly, it's an estimate, but it's a far better estimate than population density or any other single metric presented so far. It correlates with the linear miles of cable needed to pass all premises, which is the deciding factor in determining costs. It is also readily available and it measures compratively how hard it would be wire up a nation.

By this measure Sweden does far better, even having a need for more infrastructure per inhabitant to reach the same end result, i.e. broadband service for everyone.

He didn't go through front-door recruiting. They sought him out. He's had similar roles at major banks.

...and he still had to go through that process. Do 'mere mortals' have to do 5+ in-person interviews?
But how often is something like that even happening? I doubt many of Vigilante's users live in a place like Mogadishu, or Cape Town, or some stereotypical violent city where "avoiding an area" is necessary. And if you do, I'm not sure how the app really makes a difference.
It's done all the time. There are entire recruiting companies which specialize in executive roles from VPs to CEOs. I assume Google's impressive recruiting department can find a qualified SVP to recruit and interview.
This! Why design this amazing display and put such an awful GPU inside? The GTX1000 series performs way better (especially GPGPU professional apps), is more power efficient and has only a minor price difference. At this price it is a deal breaker for me. And I'm like exactly their target audience for this.
Thoughts on coding bootcamp, week 4
Does it though? Your example about the sun and the earth is a false equivalency. In fact, you illustrate it yourself: "people believed". There was no (or very little) science involved in forming their conclusions; conclusions which science has now shown to be wrong.

Ironically, in doing so, you've highlighted a great example to show why we use the scientific method and how well it works - thereby weakening your own position that the science is not settled. And to that end, I think you should take 15 minutes and read this essay by Isaav Asimov:

http://chem.tufts.edu/answersinscience/relativityofwrong.htm

So when you say that climate change isn't settled science, my response is that you may be a little right: there are those who may overstate the science in order to push their own agenda. But you are, without a doubt, very wrong.
I could probably get behind what you're saying when I read definitions of "serverless architecture" like this: http://martinfowler.com/articles/serverless.html. Or when it's thrown around talking about containerization (virtualization).

If that's the gripe though, I think it'd be barking up the wrong tree to apply to these types of WebRTC patterns and OP's project.

I fully agree. If you can hail a robot at the price of driving using a car sharing service (as in short term rental, not as in "ride sharing"), the threshold to carless will fall a considerable bit. A lot more people are in the nearly-carless-but camp than actually carless.

Current car sharing schemes only really work for short two way trips without much of a stay at the destination, since you would block the car for the whole duration. Robot taxis (just like their conventional counterparts) on the other hand could be booked separately for each direction,taking the duration of the stay out of the equation (except when it is so short that it is cheaper to keep the taxi waiting). Once on this level, it's just natural to replace the easy trips with public transportation.
It seems to me that "reveal" must be the wrong word here, basically by definition.

I must say I've long abandoned any illusions of personality and values of big tech companies like Apple/Google/Microsoft, are any one of them better or worse than the other, more moral or less? It's all big companies, shareholders and bottom line, with perhaps the current leadership making a little difference how the company is run.

But companies are not people and we can't trust them as such, the larger the company the more that's the case. It's naive, unfortunately , to think differently.
It does when you think you might have another position for them and you don't want to burn bridges. Which I assume it likely what they're thinking.

They don't need a breakneck GPU - they need a device like this that gives them new, intuitive input options.

That said, for any kind of 3D development this hardware isn't up to snuff. Anyway, the device seems more targeted at 2D graphic designers.

>Ideas are the only thing of fundamental value to us as an intelligent species.
I'm sorry but you're wrong. Its not ideas that are the only thing of fundamental value... information might come close.

Ideas + experimentation to validate them + implementation is where its at. An idea by itself without execution is a fantasy.
Opposition to large states certainly makes sense if you are concerned about climate change, but perhaps not for the reason you think. Large centralized governments and economies cause wasteful and short sighted resource consumption (and thus CO2 production) through massive debt bubbles on a scale never before seen.
Research Clears Name of 'Patient Zero,' Gaetan Dugas
Keep in mind that this is a dangling pointer problem that is a stupid design mistake and Apple's own kexts used the same vulnerable pattern for years before Project Zero had to disclose it to Apple after which there were two failed mitigations and a fix that changes core OS code!

That's not very justifiable no matter how many storms and twisters you throw in the mix ;) I am not going to argue but for OS development this looks bad that it wasn't even looked at much rather fixed for so long given many of Apple's kexts had the same issue.

[Also this isn't an isolated problem by the way - look up the thread and you'll find two other egregious errors including one involving execve that was pointed to Apple in vain. Not long ago I could just remove and insert a kmod and that would lock up the system - go ahead and argue that's not a hot path or nobody does that but it does speak to general lack of code and testing quality. To their credit Apple fixed that particular one though when I reported them.]

Sweden does "x" better argument is getting tired. Sweden has a lot of negative outcomes as well from socializing so much. Our problem isn't that fact that internet isn't socialized its that its monopolized by 3-4 companies. The incentive to innovate at rapid rate is not there but rather keep the status quo. That being said Google and Verizon are two fiber companies that are leading innovation and forcing other companies to keep up or get left behind by leaving a vacuum of people that want that service. Thats how/why capitalism works. Over time fiber options will rise and we will be in a better position to have some options of our provider instead of being stuck with a state run service that could become crappier over time.

I'm sure there are people who have decided not to pursue employment at Google based on the what they've heard about Google's interview process. But, apparently, there are still many thousands of good developers who are undeterred by Google's reputation. So for the time being, in their cost-benefit analysis, Google has decided they're better off without making major changes in their hiring process.
You're right; just not an option to most reasonable people.
And as we all know, if there's any nation whose official economic statistics are completely trustworthy, it's China. Why, even if China's famously open and transparent government did feel the urge to mess with the statistics, their dynamic free press, unfettered by government controls, would be all over it.
