I think I originally submitted it as "Facebook Design: VR Resources", but the mods did the HN thing where the title changes to directly match the original. This is in no way meant to be a general VR knowledge dump, it's specifically a set of resources that Facebook has produced targeted at designers that traditionally work on web and mobile design and are new to VR UI.

The most interesting thing on the site is the publicly available version of the VR hand models used in the Oculus home UI and all of their games and demos, which were previously only available if you had a relationship with Oculus developer relations.
I think that just means they are a bad state, not that they are a failed one.
IIRC, star trackers are used as both a position and an attitude reference. GPS gives you only position (though more sophisticated systems can be used to determine attitude).

While a GPS outage is a minor inconvenience for most of us, it could be pretty catastrophic for spacecraft if they didn't have another position reference.

EDIT: See below - I was off; they're just attitude, not position
There's the constructive rude:

> Mauro, SHUT THE FUCK UP! ...To make matters worse, commit f0ed2ce840b3 is clearly total and utter CRAP even if it didn't break applications. ENOENT is not a valid error return from an ioctl. Never has been, never will be. ENOENT means "No such file and directory", and is for path operations. ioctl's are done on files that have already been opened, there's no way in hell that ENOENT would ever be valid.

Popular sources are full of anti-Copenhagen crackpot pseudoscience and of exactly this kind of bullshit – claims that the proper Copenhagen quantum mechanics implies superluminal or acausal effects (for the latter, see some largely confused fresh text by Nude Socialist about entangled photons in graves, London, and Beijing: this sort of stuff gets produced every minute, it seems) – but you may still find people who think that the presentation should be even more anti-Copenhagen.

Let's say I run a new service that targets SMB decision makers. Let's say this service is an email marketing service that costs $49 a month. Can you really send me 100 targeted SMB customers who are genuinely interested in using and paying for a new email marketing service? If you can do this on demand you can charge me 90% of the LCV of these people and I will willingly pay.
Pegasus XL is a private launcher (NASA is the customer), and it's not cost-effective. It costs nearly as much as a Falcon 9 for a much smaller payload.

I'm not sure where the India reference came from? The EU and Japan both operate smaller launchers. A couple of startups are getting close to their first launch, too.
Woah thanks for including Picnic CSS! However, 67 css frameworks still seems a bit into the high numbers, considering many of those do similar things.

RAM/DMA transfer is absurdly fast these days. (And "as a compositor" you'll have to do it anyway at 60fps, regardless.)
You could say the same thing about computers. Look, I think neural nets have made significant progress in image, video, and audio processing, but until their practical results are understood at a theoretical level, I'm not convinced that we're any closer to AGI than we were 5 years ago, beyond the idea that "with enough compute power, an intelligence will emerge."

> I usually don't reinstall my OS. With Arch is designed for, but Ubuntu/Fedora/etc. not so much.

LOL. Debian has one of the best automatic upgrading procedure long before Arch is born. RedHat/Fedora was not good at automatic upgrading between releases when an conflict happens, but it was doable with third-party Smart package manager. Now Fedora supports upgrade out of the box. I never ever reinstalled any of my Fedora or Debian distro just for upgrade.

Civilians can own full auto guns as long as they pay the ATF tax ($200 last time I looked). Sellers have to have a Class III license.
If you, like mr Schuman here, are a journalist I don't think it's your place to be providing media training, at least if you strive for a higher moral standing than the IRS officer working for PWC on the side coming up with tax evasion vehicles.
Agreed. For me the appeal of a smart watch would be to minimize the amount of times I actually have to take out my phone, which is always a potential distraction. Smart watches are interesting to me if they reflect a trend towards more limited devices that help instead of hindering focus---rather than so many devices that do everything...
They would probably just come up with fictional gun designs rather than using molds of or blank-firing versions of commercially produced guns. The average person probably doesn't know and doesn't care whether a prop gun is an imitation of a specific real gun that exists or not.
You want to believe it, because it would be a more exciting story. But if I wanted you to make me an analytic app for the Silk Road, I would tell you I want an analytic app for a marketplace. Which will be selling toys or whatever. Amazon 2.0. Not a fucking spaceship.

It wouldn't be very plausible even if this guy was a programmer, asked to make some generic analytics engine for a spaceship (because things rarely are truly completely generic). But this guy is a designer. You do not hire a designer, because drawing a picture for UI is some secret knowledge available only to them, but because it requires spending your time thinking about this specific problem and picking pretty colors. So if I wanted to make some app without telling designers about the real purpose of the app, I wouldn't really need a designer at all. I would hire a programmer and ask him to make me another Salesforce, with exactly the same GUI.
Why do you have to resort to such bullshit in order to promote your favorite language. Please back up your claims.
Which means most likely they will just look elsewhere.

RedHat is now supporting .NET, IBM made J9 modular for other languages like PHP, Ruby and Python, additionally improving Swift on GNU/Linux.
That doesn't line up with the CalISO graphs, for today, the peak is around 6pm - 7pm (still late in the day for Solar, but solar does ramp up in time to help with the daytime peak at around 8:30am):

But if you look at the August 1st graph here, the summer peak is around 4pm:

http://www.energyonline.com/Data/GenericData.aspx?DataId=18

In any case, the peak solar output is around 4600MW while overall demand peaks at 29000MW, so solar still has a ways to go before we have to figure out what to do with all of the peak power.

Are you detecting an inability to shift gears quickly, or is it a reluctance to shift gears quickly based on hard-won experience where management-driven frequently-changing requirements led to project failures that were then blamed on the development team?

As much as we'd like our job to be engineering, it's usually more like craftsmanship. Craftsmanship goes back a LONG ways, and the traditional approach for learning a craft is for apprentices to learn from experienced masters. Those masters can teach you what to do, and what not to do, in the traditional ways that they've learned over many years. What they can't teach you is new techniques that they've developed, unless they're among the few masters that are advancing the craft.

I suspect that works for our craft as well. Most experienced developers can do the work very well, and can also help you to avoid bad practices that they've seen before and can predict the likely outcomes. But only a subset of those experienced developers are able to advance the craft. They have a mixture of the drive and creativity of the younger inexperienced developers, along with the experience to quickly weed out bad ideas and see the potential of the good ideas.
I had a six month co-op in college where I worked for a major defense contractor working on software for an embedded system. I really enjoyed the work and had a few offers from defense contractors doing embedded development when I graduated but ultimately decided on going to work for a growing e-commerce company near Boston. My primary reason for not going back into the defense industry despite enjoying the work was because I saw that kind of work as too unstable and career limiting going forward.

I have to say that based on my experience I believe very little meta engineering skills would transfer between these two industries. The way software is written for a full authority digital engine control and the way software is written for an e-commerce website have very little in common other than they are both called "software engineering." The process is immensely different, the technology is immensely different, testing is immensely different, integration is immensely different. It's a different universe. If I went back to work for one of those companies I would be starting from the bottom - if they would even hire me. Yes, if you squint really hard, you can see parallels in the two industries - they both test, for example - but to try to extrapolate beyond that is... well, quite a big pitfall.

The things you mentioned - a good sense for designing things for greater productivity, where to be paranoid about failures, what corners can be safely cut, or where the pitfalls are - are extremely different between the two industries.

The nature of computation opens up a boundless universe of possible ways to both run a software project and build a software project. This sets us apart from other engineering disciplines -- there are a limitless number of ways to architect almost any software project, but there are only so many safe ways to build a bridge.

This allows our industry to fork off into places we can't possibly imagine today. I agree with you that in 2035, our field will be very different.
#1 should not matter. Market rate is the rate I should expect. Just because I have 20 years of experience does not mean I'm going to get my rate for a Jr PHP job. The complaint is more likely that most companies do not need many people with that level of experience. The old phrase too many generals and not enough soldiers comes to mind.

#2 is changing because we are entering the baby-boomer phase of IT. It was recent that that there were not many people programming, and then the field blew up with tons of young people coming out of college. Those young people are now turning into older people. Where I work now we have a median age for the IT staff in the high 30s. I don't think anyone is under 30 anymore.

#3 can be true of anyone, depending on how well they have managed their career. Sadly, I have interviewed people with '5 years experience' who learned their job in 3-6 mos. and have just continued to do the same job for 5 years. Their actual experience ends up not being much more than a recent college graduate.
Who does it serve? Using other peoples money might allow you to grow your business faster improving the economy. I might agree if you divide it by industry, oil and gas mining or finance has a higher rate.
I obviously can't predict if the price + product is something people want. Which is exactly why I like running these lean experiments. You can only find out by getting the idea out of your head, launch it in a quick and lean way and find out if people are interested. By getting early leads to sign up, you might find out by talking to them that 39/mo is thye magical nr. Or maybe 89/mo if feature X and Y are added.
I'm not looking to convince anyone of having deep-seated problems.

Here's a reframing of my argument. I think:

- two sources of addiction that are the most difficult to identify are undiagnosed/unknown physical causes and undiagnosed/unknown psychological causes.

- belief impacts the brain's ability to recognize or ignore patterns

- medical professionals usually better able to diagnose/discover physical causes than patients because they've received a lot of training & have access to good tools for examining the patients

- medical professionals need to practice assuming (ie. TEMPORARILY choosing to believe) something's physically wrong with the patient (especially since addictions has physical effects on the brain!) in order to reduce the incidents where a patient's issues are easily dismissed as psychosomatic

- mental health professionals lack good tools for diagnosing/discovering mental issues & can't directly inspect a patient's psyche

- patients can help mental health professionals diagnose/discover mental issues, as well as confirm the absence of any, by assuming (again...temporarily & only during the time when with the professional) they do have deep seated issues & they simply aren't aware of them

Once someone's willing to explore their own psyche with curiosity and if they're willing to share w/the professional whatever comes to mind, they can start making a list of things in their past that seem questionable, including the things they normally wouldn't consider.

If there's anything I'd like to convince people of, it's the benefits of learning how to temporarily challenge one's own standard patterns of thought, ie. having an open mind.
Bleacher Report Hacked: Important Notice to All Bleacher Report Users
Not at all. It can be explaining something, predicting something, a piece of analysis, anything. If a company wants thought leadership, they have to say something that will surprise people. It doesn't have to be a secret product plan.
I think it's nice to see this type of analysis. We all know that reflection is slow for most languages, but understanding the why gives me a great sense of how interesting the task of reflection is.
Every industry, every field, everywhere, will be better off once people get past being dicks just for fun, and give accurate, engaged criticism while maintaining civility.

I disagree. The blunt people (who come off as "dicks" to the outsiders) are like a community's immune system. They protect the community against the sort of people who take accurate engaged criticism, make one or two changes to fix specific issues, and then resubmit their work, wasting the community's time and resources, driving off the people who are making good-faith efforts to help the community. They're not being dicks "just for fun". They're protecting the time and attention of other community members by saying bluntly what many other people are often thinking.

Communities that have too many of these people become closed and ossified. Communities that have none of these people evaporate, as the core contributors just walk away and find better things to do than deal with people who are more interested in getting fame and attention for themselves than making good-faith efforts to advance the project of the community. The trick is to find a good balance.

> So what makes it "black market" outside of Venezuela?

"Black market" is just the phrase used for situations like these; another word would be the "actual market".

> Can Venezuela impose their desired rate on money markets in other countries?

No. They can't even impose it on money markets within their country.

> would it cost me 2-3 cents US? Or $10?

You can certainly find people who'll accept $10 to give you 100 bolivars; the trick is finding someone who'll accept 100 bolivars in exchange for $10. And no, you cannot find a bank anywhere in the world that will do that.

> I always thought foreign currency was an asset like any other that you could trade at rates determined by the market.

It is. However like any other asset, a seller can offer it at a discount to particular groups. If I own a Mercedes dealership, and I decide to sell a couple of new, top end Mercedes to my friends for $5k each, that doesn't mean that Mercedes now cost $5k; it means I have given a couple of my friends an extremely valuable gift.

Similarly, some friends of the Venezuelan government can purchase strictly limited numbers dollars from the Venezuelan government for a fraction of their actual cost. That's a crude but effective way to bribe friends of the government, but it doesn't change the actual cost of the dollars. (And note that the amounts on sale have to be limited, because the government has to pay market rates to replace them.)
people who just make up dark matter distributions are morons, obviously you use a model derived from the theory.
I personally view Arch as a "poor man's Gentoo." It's a rolling release, which is great considering the never-finished state of free software. Many projects have different release schedules, which means that stable distributions will always miss out on the newest version of X% of their packages. With Arch, those updates get pushed when they're ready, instead of pushing what works by the release deadline.

Arch also has the AUR (Arch User's Repository) which provides a lot of software that isn't available through most distributions for various reasons, such as quality, stability, maturity, patent, freedom or packaging/dependency issues. This makes customization a lot easier, at the expense of all the trust, stability, and security expected from using a distribution (I guarantee none of you actually verify the packages aren't malware when installing through AUR)

From my perspective, Arch seems a little expedient. It provides a good Desktop experience, but is not as robust as distributions based on package managers like Portage, APT, or RPM. It is a lot easier to install and set up than Gentoo though, and provides similar benefits in terms of software freshness and builds with a few different configurations - hence my assessment.

If you can't get a programming job, then work on getting some other kind of job. Lower your sights in terms of money and prestige, raise the bar on good fit for your personal circumstances. So, consider something that is not full time or that has flexible hours or in some other way makes it easier on you to make it work.

Yes, if possible, return to school and complete your degree. Those credits aren't good forever, unless you lock them up in a degree. If you think you are depressed now, try going back to school and being told "You have to start over from scratch. We will not count any of your classes because they are too old."

Consider doing freelance work or developing a side project that you might be able to monetize. This does not necessarily have to be programming-based.
Que pensez-vous des Anonymous?
Allow me to try and phrase this in a positive and hopefully realistic way. Don't focus on any one exec as much as all of your people.
Many startups that I've covered (not all, but many) have several people who are truly insightful. THOSE are your thought-leaders. It might be the CEO but is more likely to be someone deep in the trenches.
The problem is when companies want to position one specific exec as a thought-leader and he/she simply isn't one. Either that or they want to keep the interesting insights to themselves.
That's when you get trouble.
But he didn't get high grades, so why speculate that he would? We know he didn't, and grades are not necessarily an indication of intelligence.
Long term capital gains tax is 15%. Interest on simpler accounts are taxed at a higher income rate. This is a very loose interpretation of what you're asking for, but with lots of side effects. Like people who trade their labor for income are taxed at a relatively high rate, while people who sit back and collect rent on capital "risking their money" are taxed at a fairly low rate.

At high concentrations of capital, the "risk" is not so much a risk. (esp when the full force of the gov't is backing many aspects of the risk...)
This wasn't media training. It was merely a way to point out to people how to think to get better coverage. As a journalist, the more people who understand this, the easier it is for me to do my job.

That's why macros like the Crystal implementation are often the way to go :

https://crystal-lang.org/docs/syntax_and_semantics/macros.ht...

It's a meta language that works at compile time. It's not just text substitution like with GCC, so the syntax can be validated. And no need for "go gen" like silly tricks.

Languages that have reflection should do everything so that using reflection is the exception, not the norm. Some languages which boast about simplicity are often the worst offenders in practice, when it comes to reflection, just look at Go code out there, full of reflection everywhere, because the language is way too simplistic for a lot of use cases. Go even allows adhoc type definition at run time, out of thin air. Is this really what gophers mean by "simplicity" ? because the maintainers refuse to add any new syntax they now basically cram everything they need into the reflect package. Then dare say its use is "not idiomatic" when they abuse reflection themselves ?
PS seems like a nice language. Such a shame it's stuck on the printer: it seems like it would be a good alternative to FORTH in less memory-constrained environments.

The explanation completely went over your head. The numbers weren't from measurements of actual firm performance, they were demonstrative examples to explain why measuring the median isn't very useful in this case.

And no, my example was 6 firms with the median having -1% growth rate, for the record.
