> The 3D TV comparison is completely tired at this point

Why do you say that? I think the 3D TV comparison is fairly accurate. If VR (or AR) requires anything more bulky than regular eye glasses, I can't see it becoming a huge success. Part of why I think VR makes a neat demo only is because the current crop of VR headsets get uncomfortable very quickly.

> VR is a new form of HCI

New? I first tried VR 25 years ago and I know it's older than that.

> if you're only looking at VR as "games" you're missing the boat entirely

So if gaming isn't the primary user and driver of VR hardware and software, what is? What industry is putting the most investment into VR right now? From the current generation, I really have only looked at consumer setups like Vive, Playstation, and Oculus. I haven't tried Microsoft's product or Magic Leap so maybe they would change my mind?
This article neglects to mention the primary factor in MS's failure to gain traction in the mobile space and that is it wanted to replicate its hugely profitable business model from the desktop. Is they would make the mobile OS and license it to the hardware makers.

The problem was that hardware makers, familiar with how MS treated them with Windows wanted nothing to do with licencing anything again from MS, and so they didn't.

MS at that point had the choice of going it alone with their own hardware or effectively dropping out of the market. Since they had almost no hardware expertise at the time and, I suspect, felt the market was too small to be worth the effort, they demured.

Even today when MS has new software that requires non PC hardware they have to do the hardware themselves.
Well I give up. Fuck the mods and fuck censorship.
> In its ability to identify and share new insights about one of the most contemplated games of all time, AlphaGo offers a promising sign of the value AI may one day provide, and we're looking forward to playing more games in 2017.

What I find fascinating is how different AlphaGo's impact was from the impact of early chess engines. Once chess engines became decent (not even good—before even Deep Blue), they identified tons of inaccuracies in published chess literature. These were missed tactics, hard-to-see moves, requiring only relatively shallow calculation but a computer's precision. These inaccuracies were found even in classical annotations of well-known chess games, as well as standard books about openings. I believe John Nunn was known for this kind of work.

AlphaGo hasn't achieved nearly the same impact. Have they even tried to identify the same types of inaccuracies in classical Go books? Can you imagine how absolutely cool it would be for a go engine to find errors in Invincible? Maybe they tried, but didn't find any inaccuracies, so now this negative result is sitting in one of their file drawers? I really wish they were more active with this sort of thing.
I'd love to move somewhere smaller, but you'll have to persuade the wife. I think that is a big issue - large cities allow careers for both partners, where smaller cities are less flexible. In the old days it was common to move around to follow the husband's career where now it isn't that easy.

OTOH one of the big differences in the old days more shops and services available to only large cities where now Amazon etc are everywhere.
Family, and despite 8 years spent in the midwest, Seattle and the Bay Area, not finding a better place to live (views, the people are friendly, and there's more here to do outdoors than you can do in the time allotted).

Montana is just so damned beautiful.
BlaBlaCar have been using rkt since some really early version. Simon Lallemand gave a talk in Berlin at the CoreOS meetup about it. I don't recall it being recorded, though there is a blog entry covering some of the details[1].
Interesting how they built a lot of tooling for the container building and management before other ways appeared, and the approach they took to it.

In the insurance industry it is called Category Risk. As in if you insure houses instead o cars you get lots of exposure with a hurricane.
I'm re-learning Python! Not a "new" language, but I lost most of my (already poor) Python skills and I want to revamp them.

My Q1 goal is to build a simple game of Risk using text-based interface, and some AI that plays the other players - all to help my two nephews in Italy learn Python and have fun at the same time.

Not sure how long it will take, or if I'll ever be successful. Any hint (particularly on the text-based interface) would be really appreciated. I am now looking into Curses and Pygame.
I am in a degree for bio-medical engineering (best of both, or worst?). Job prospects are about equal to many of my peers in non-engineering and non-medical fields: MS (or MD) or bust, and then you have to know who is hiring, when, and how they like their mochas.
Participate in Atlassian Research

My name is Angela and I do research for Atlassian. I’m kicking off a round of discussions with people who use Git tools. Ideally, I’d like to talk to people that sit on a team of 3 or more. If this is you, I would love to talk to you about your experience with <using> Git tools, or just some of the pain points that are keeping you up at night when doing your jobs.

We’ll just need 30 mins of your time, and as a token of my thanks to those that participate, I’d like to offer a US$50 Amazon gift voucher.

If you’re interested, just shoot me an email with your availability over the next few weeks and we can set up a time to chat for 30 minutes. Please also include your timezone so we can schedule a suitable time (as I’m located in San Francisco). Hope to talk to you soon!

Cheers,

The resource that has been instrumental for me to move up from beginner-that-generally-can-work-out-things-with-a-lot-of-random-tries, to someone who often has things right on the first try, and if not, have a clue of what is going on , has been the following book:

Adding to your point: Many of the Mercury-Gemini-Apollo astronauts were originally farm boys who enjoyed tinkering.
I think most of the first part of the article is pretty dishonest. The kinds of inaccuracies that lead people to distrust media in general are very different from the kinds of "distortions" he complains about: that the journalist found his own sources, rather than relying on those cherrypicked by the company; that the journalist's depiction mentioned negative facts (which he doesn't dispute!) but didn't also mention the positive ones which he likes better.

The WSJ article is easy to find, and I think it's pretty apparent on reading it how weak these complaints are. These are nothing more than the petulant complaints of a powerful man who wishes people not be allowed to criticize him.

I don't see numerous inaccuracies or misrepresentations in the news articles I read that discuss areas I'm familiar with; when I do see such inaccuracies, I tend to avoid those news sources in the future. I would venture that if you're seeing those kinds of distortions all the time, you should seek out better news sources.

But if you think a writer is doing a bad job because he finds his own sources rather than relying only on those handpicked by organization he's reporting on, I think the word for what you're looking for is a different one than "journalism."
My major point, which I don't think you disagree with, is that none of this research is telling us anything useful. What we know is that people need to eat a reasonable amount of calories and they need to exercise. That amount is different for different people in different situations, but it's not due to inflammation, or any of the other tiny factors that vary person to person.

If you are eating 2000 calories a day and consistently maintaining weight, and inflammation causes you to store some more of your energy intake as fat at some point, you will also burn that fat off at some point. There's no reason to think that small temporary metabolic shifts within a calorically consistent environment cause long term fat gain.
This list of known issues with rkt on k8s might be helpful: http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/rkt/notes/
> Losing weight is actually pretty simple. But I won't argue that it is hard.

It depends on the genetics, but yes, if you're really overweight, losing lots of weight is generally pretty simple. At some point, though, you'll hit a roadblock and that's when those nuances can become important.
And there is only one "race", dogs. Sure.
I've always hypothesized that it's the fact that you can't eat most junk food. No chips, soda, candy, rice, bread, etc. Most fat people are eating too much of those things. I bet if they did a Keto + reasonable amounts of carbs in otherwise healthy dishes, they'd still be losing the weight.

Perhaps I should have said geocultural slur then, I agree that it's still meant to denigrate a particular group of people.

Despite it mainly being associated with white people, I don't think it's equivalent to something like "white trash" which explicitly targets a race - "redneck" to me seems more akin to just "trashy", which is why I think it's more class-targeted as you mention.
Big O complexity is an upper bound.

If something is O(1) it's also O(n) and O(n!), since it's an upper bound.
I honestly can not ever imagine living in what I'm guessing you'd call a first tier city.

The traffic, the people, just the non stop hassle of every day life would just totally grind me down. for me what you're calling First Tier is really just not something I would ever want to do, and I'd never consider that Tier One.

You'd probably consider my home here a Third Tier city, but I have non of the drawbacks and all of the positives here. It's maybe not quite as dynamic, maybe that flywheel here is a bit smaller, but everything else is easier, it's livable and easier to live here. I don't make $200/k a year, but I don't need to make that, or anywhere near that to afford a life that would never exist for me elsewhere, with money left over to go visit those Tier 1 places a few times a year.

So for me at least, family keeps me here more than anything, but if it didn't I'd still stick to 2nd or 3rd tier cities, life is so much easier here.
> without hard-coding group selection

Unless you're disputing the existence of group selection in real systems, what does hard coding it change vs. a given system where it is an emergent property?
Exactly which chart on that page you linked are you looking at?

I see nothing that matches the numbers you gave. The only one I see that even talks about farm costs vs. other costs shows the farms at just over 10%, not 60%. And this is 2016 data, not a historical comparison over years to see how the costs change as energy prices fluctuate.
So basically bitcoin is now used as yet another way for the corrupt to launder money out of China?
In my experience, Raspberry Pis are nice hobbyist toys but tend to corrupt data on their SD cards at random and generally are unreliable. For 50k you could at least send them a somewhat rugged fanless PC with a SSD raid for added reliability.
While this is a nice small collection of things that could be helpful when designing and API, it would be infinitely more helpful if it gave any info on why it's suggesting what it's suggesting.

Okay versioning is important, sure, but why put it in an accept header?

Yep, UTC is the best (well except maybe TAI, but that's a much harder battle), but why ISO8601, is it better than the other options for some reason?
I don't believe you. I've never had "go to page" take me to the page labelled 100 if that's not actually the 100th pdf page. It's always taken me to the 100th pdf page instead, and I've had to scroll to get to the one labelled 100. And when I say "always", I mean every single time I've used a PDF like this in the 15 years that OS X has existed.
Can you elaborate why that's the case?

Google does sort of do this with the Droid family of fonts. https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Droid+Sans They're not perfect though, but it is a start. I think one or two of Apple's might be permissively licensed also but I'm not certain.
I really hope someone at Apple is like "you know what, I'm done. This is getting ridiculous let's make a concerted effort to make the mac awesome." Because the people who work on it care I promise you it's just someone isn't thinking and saying "this isn't up to the proper standard yet." So I hope 2017 is he mac's year.
Retired folk are (or can be) still an economic benefit as long as they live. Consider the trivial case of a grandparent watching children so the parents can have time to recover. But obesity and smoking do not kill people the day they leave work for the last time, it kills people in their 40s with years ahead of them to be productive.
I think they may still be skittish about publishing anything that might help looters (or maybe would-be kidnappers) to identify the site.
The 2 founders literally have no agricultural expertise. One's last job was at a no-name business school accelerator and another worked in an administrative role in the non-profit world. There is a conspicuous absence of any kind of agronomy experience here.

As someone who has some perspective on the conditions of the purported customer for this they are so out of touch it is ridiculous and.
Once chess engines became decent (not even good—before even Deep Blue), they identified tons of inaccuracies in published chess literature.

No, it absolutely doesn't.
However there were maps before Google Maps, not even bad ones. The greatness of Google Maps: a, satellite images; b, near-live traffic data; c, geotagged images. Oh, wait, the third is gone, and the second is not thanks to Google but to a startup they bought ;)
Rewriting is not very likely.

A new development could use a new paradigm. Same applies to goto vs structured programming, plain procedures vs classes and OOP-style method dispatch, etc.
Their experience and description of the deep jungle just makes me think of Predator.

How the article just moved on to how disease wiped out so many people wasn't new news to me making me feel like the reality that it was so hard to navigate the city meant they didn't have a lot of content to write about from their nine days in the scariest point of jungle I've ever heard of.
i7-6700k breaks down to ix-yzzzA

x is the brand family that most everyone is familiar with.

y is the generation. 6th gens with have a 6. 7th gens will have a 7.

zzz is roughly a capability indicator. The higher the number, the more powerful the processor (generally speaking). This is only comparable within the same generation. Comparisons will be off when comparing these identifiers to other generations, so it's suggested to us benchmarks.

A is a alphabetical modifier to indicate a feature like unlocked.

So an i7-6700k is an i7 family processor from the 6th generation (Sky Lake) at the 700 "level". The chip is also unlocked for overclocking. An i7-7700k is an i7 family processor from the 7th generation (Kaby Lake) at the 700 "level". This chip is also unlocked. Take all of the goodness from the previous generation's processor, and (more-or-less) give it the new optimization from the current generation.
Apparently the www is unnecessary: https://zombiesrungame.com/
This.

Especially family. It's a fantastic place to raise kids, if a bit isolated.
Love seeing YC increasingly focus on helping solve the world's biggest problems.
The Recruiter Said 'It's a Great Opportunity' – But It Wasn't
Should be around 1.6 or 1.7 from a talk given in December by one of the core rkt team. Logging changes and being able to 'exec' into a container seem to be the main bugbears at the moment (may be other things but this was my take-away from the talk). I looked into this on the 1.4 kubernetes release but ended up with file descriptors not being freed up leading to a very unstable kubernetes cluster nodes.

We are really enjoying using Ceph under rkt-fly[1] upon CoreOS though.

I would prefer software infrastructure be developed rigorously as well, as I think would most people. But that will lead to regulations or at best, expensive insurance company mandated standards.

But before we celebrate its demise: the side effect will also be the same ones seen in the civil engineering world: creative ideas take decades to come into existence. As you mentioned in your other comment, there was a time when railroad building was exciting, and in that time, people died doing exciting engineering. Civil engineering tools are now orders of magnitude better than they were years ago, but there hasn't been an explosion in creative structures, even at the lowest level.
I also think many of the perks (ie: salary) of the software engineering industry are intimately related to the 'move fast and break things' culture. When that leaves the industry, it may be less of a good riddance than you think.

This may be my perspective as an outsider though, I don't work in software. But I have considered making the jump to software engineering, because 'moving fast and break things' sounds fun.

Fundamentally we agree, but I'm a pessimist.
>Google Patents focuses on improving patent quality. //

Could you go in to that a bit. There's been fulltext, full image databases with proximity searching and bespoke classifications and such for a while, how has Google Patents improved on that. How is it better than Espacenet for example?

When I looked at patents a lot the biggest help would probably have been being able to get decent translations of Korean/Japanese/Chinese/etc. patents - I gather you were involved in an EPO project to do that. What other goodies have I missed?

>but while building your copy of A + B you might come to the same conclusion //

Worth noting is that this is fine in most jurisdictions as long as your not trying to commercialise the build.

The idea that a journalist at the WSJ or NYT is in any way influenced by your nebulous "necessities of survival" (the advertisers, I'm guessing?) is simplistic and false.
