3D TVs and cinemas serve no new purpose. There is objectively little to no difference between watching a movie in 3D or in 2D, it is literally a gimmick to attract customers.

VR, on the other hand, is completely unprecedented. It unlocks a way to interact with virtual environments that simply was not possible before. It has practical uses that we haven't had time to discover yet. Dismissing it as a gimmick and comparing it to 3D movies is shortsighted, in my opinion.
One might argue that the technology is not there yet, but that would be comparable to PDAs preceding smartphones.
seems like you could make a material that would absorb most of the light, rather than rebounding it? Lidar uses NIR, or UV lasers, so if you could engineer a material that had good absorption properties maybe you could prevent the beams from rebounding and confuse it that way?

I don't know much about this area, but I'm pretty sure there are companies with such positions. In particular, I've seen videos by Adobe with statements from people labelled with "junior product manager X" (X being one of their products). Not sure what carreer path brought them there though.

what makes this different then any of the other systems already on the market.
Private insurers make their money by providing less care per dollar. They cannot raise rates arbitrarily (or if they can, it indicates they have no competition and there's no free market at play) and they cannot reduce the cost of care significantly. The best way for an insurance company to make more money is to simply make fewer payouts. i.e. Reduce the cost center.

Every dollar a private insurer makes (or invests) is a dollar they didn't spend on care for their clients. If you assume that insurers have, say, a 5 percent margin, the fastest way to cut the cost of care by 5% is to eliminate the profit.

Caveat: I'm entirely going off your image[1]. I have neither laptop.

>> The arrow keys are proper sized buttons (even the macbook has it wrong).

> This is false, look at the linked image[1] and tell me that the arrow keys are different on the new keyboard.

Looks like the old laptop has a different height for Left, Right, and Down compared to Up, PageUp, PageDown. Is that really the case? If so, that'd be a pretty noticeable difference for a user of the original design.

>> There is a slight curvature on each key's surface that makes it easy for the finger to feel the borders.

> This is also false. The chicklet keys are slightly concave and the island layout makes it extremely easy to feel the borders of each key.

Just going off the shadow from your image, there's a marked and well-defined difference between the concavity. If my fingers were used to that concavity, I'd be unhappy with the much, much flatter design.

Arguing that he's propagating falsehoods is overshooting. That said, I thought it was pretty bad-ass you had both laptops and took a photo for us.

>Either way, it feels like part of the learning curve is learning the "Rustic" way to do something - in general, you probably shouldn't be reaching for "unsafe" until you know what you're doing! ;)

I tend to agree with this sentiment. The moment I saw that OP was doing pointer arithmetic: I knew they were in for a bad time. It's not that you can't do it -- it's moreso that Rust's raison d'etre is to highlight the flaws inherent in that approach.

I hadn't thought about it, but I think you're right, my background in managed languages is probably why I didn't run into these sorts of issues until after I was already comfortable with Rust. I wasn't trying to make maximally storage-efficient collections right out of the gate, instead I was building application-level stuff on top of `std::collections`.

It depends; the cheaper ones have passive 3d glasses (polarisation filters), the cinema nearby then sells them for €1 apiece. I have two of them at home. The fancier cinema, brand new etc, has Dolby Atmos and active 3D glasses - they hand those out and collect them when you enter and leave the room. The ticket price of those is higher though (€15 ish).
Some of us like the new Thinkpad keyboards.
To be fair, while we have "right to revolution" we do not have the "ability to revolt", at least not militarily. Like another poster said, the strength of the government has come a long way since the 1700s.

On the same note, what is happening right now in the States is pretty much half of the country revolting, for better or for worse.
Or maybe Haskell is also a hybrid? I know about the type theoretic accounting tricks used to stay pure, but when I really need unboxed mutable arrays and several tight loops, I just use the ST monad and write code that is psychologically completely imperative. And it compiles to pretty fast executables too, especially using the LLVM backend.
It wouldn't be too much work to re-skin the game. I can maybe put a selection in the settings page that could switch between retro and modern.

This is the first time I've heard this suggestion. I will definitely consider this. Thank you!
Growing up on a family farm & surrounded by farmers, most of them are not great at any of that. I do think there is a lot of potential for automation for each one of the things you mentioned. At first it can help farmers make better decisions. Slowly it can grow to make those decisions on its own.

A 'huge' part farmers struggle with is trying to guess when to purchase & sell their products. That's everything from the end product to the seed & fertilizers. Also, tech could help farmers get a heads up on if there might be global surplus or shortage on certain crops. Sensor based tools can do a much better job on how much & where to put fertilizer. I've even seen demos of not using pesticides but friggen laser beams to shoot only certain types of insects.

My prediction is future farms will look like giant JavaScript projects with crazy long package.json files!! There are so many possible tools that could improve a farmer's life. I can even see "Tool Fatigue" being discussed at the local gas & coffee shops.

You could use id/vec indices, instead of directly pointing to your e.g. sucessors: "struct Node { successors: Vec<usize> }". This has the obvious disadvantage that deleting nodes is quite hard though.
Who makes cheap 50+ inch 4k monitors?
Avatar was a poorly composed 3d experience in my opinion. The combination of depth-of-field effects with stereoscopic vision was really off-putting, I can see shapes nearer to me than the focal point, and can look at them, but can't focus on them.

The only 3d experience I enjoyed - well enough as I wouldn't dissuade someone from viewing the film in 3d, at least - was Gravity, since the small-aperture space cinematography was very suited to a 3d presentation, 3d contributed to the feeling of the film - helping acheive a sense of contrast in scale between the personal experience of the main character and the very large catastrophes around them, and not just a fancy way to produce distractions.
My biggest pain is that with a lack of documentation it is often difficult to discern data structure, something that could highlight potential fields which are common across multiple data sources might make it easier to join two data sources.

This is a worthwhile long read. If you're done reading it consider for a moment how they feel their environment quite differently than we do. Their eyes aren't their most important sense. Their trunks is how they sense most things.

Consider how our own bodies are capable of sensing so much from our surroundings with touch alone and how little we make use of it.

You keep throwing the phrase "petro-chemical fertilizers" around but I can't see how it can make sense except for denigrating the concept and spreading FUD (which is counterproductive). Ammonia is just NH3 and there is nothing "petro" (i.e. hydrocarbons) in it, that hydrogen can be obtained anywhere and the nitrogen is literally around you.

Can you please elaborate on how fixing nitrogen on industrial scale is "disastrous"? What difference do you see between bio-available nitrogen that originated in root nodules and chemical reactor?
What are you supposed to do? Implement it as a single page application.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the advice to humans to never cross a water-covered road? I thought the idea is that it is dangerous to try to judge the depth.
I am not 100% sure about that. At the moment it is basically impossible that there is interference from another LIDAR due to the fact that there are so few. but if every car, motorcycle, drone and whatnot is equipped with several LIDARS then interference might become real. Or it could at least cause the noise floor to be raised to a level where sensor readings are affected.

But I am not saying that this will become a huge issue, because it would affect individual measurements, and the overall scan should be fine, just a bit noisier. And noise is something they have to deal with today as well due to different reflectance properties, electromagnetic interference, flying voxels, etc.

I don't think language developers are interested in making
such a language in general...

https://inductive.no/jai/

I'd argue go came from a desire to have a language that was completely uninteresting in terms of 'interesting ideas', and really just exists to Get Stuff Done.

I think more people are interested in that sort of thing than you imagine. Clearly.
35k die per year in the US alone. Worldwide it's more like 1.25 million. http://www.who.int/gho/road_safety/mortality/traffic_deaths_...

You don't need autocars to be 1000 times better than humans. You just need them to be equally good as the average driver ALL THE TIME, such that they're never distracted, sleepy, driving unlawfully, etc. The occasional lapse in driver competence is the cause for the vast majority of crashes. I suspect the limitations of driver (or autocar) perception plays a small role in most accidents when compared to lapses.

As residents of a developed country, with a very low death rate per mile driven, we also see traffic risks very differently than the world's norm. The annual death rate per 100k motor vehicles in the US is 13; in India it's 130 in Africa it's 574. In the more unsafe countries, I suspect driver error is the cause of 99% of accidents. Replacing human driver decisions with autocars would reduce worldwide driver fatality risk enormously, reducing perhaps 90% of global traffic fatalities -- about one million people a year.
and vehicles were never intended to enable or encourage teenagers joy riding or drunk drivers, but NO ONE is going to seriously argue we should get rid of vehicles as a result.
I agree with you and think the longer it takes for people to realise it, the harder it'll become. Sometimes stuff gets grandfathered in and someday it may become a criminal offence to build privacy protecting tools.

But I don't think that'll be enough. We should focus on the 3rd fight, which is equal access to information. If loss of privacy is bad, a one-sided situation is worse. My professional feeling is pervasive surveillance will outpace privacy tech and policy wise.

So the best available option long term (100+ years) is to make everything completely open. Don't allow only those in power to have privacy because it will solidify their position.
How Self-Driving Cars Are Ushering in the Third Industrial Revolution – VICE
I don't disagree. But I find this to be a very different claim than the one I initially protested. To re-iterate: I'm trying to point out that there's a difference between learning costs and eternal development costs. The OP is a data point in support of the former, not the latter.

I'm not going to debate the trade offs of type systems with you. It's been done to death.
Much of ITA's matrix software, which controlled airline ticket pricing, was written in Common Lisp.

I don't know if that's still the case since Google bought it, but I imagine it would be pretty difficult to port a codebase that large and complex to a different language.
Just a thought, learn VHDL or Verilog before searching for projects to contribute to because most open source projects cannot take on a person with very limited skill using the tools upon which the project is built. I suspect that hardware is less likely to have the ability to absorb greenhorns than software projects given the expense of making changes in production.

Good luck.
I think it's easier to get started with C++ because it contains simpler languages. You don't have to start with template metaprogramming, you can be productive with a small subset of C++.
I get your point. I just don't think it actually matters much. If you make people pay for basic care but cover the big stuff, you only cut a few percentage points off the cost of care carried by the state/insurers.

I don't see how this is at all related to the inflated costs of American hospitals.
I will do that in a blog post, if ever there is anything of worth to write about :)

I've just checked and since this post I've made around 3 dollars :D I don't know if sharing this violates some agreement I've accepted without realizing.

Thank you!
Yes? I mean, you have to admit what you built is the epitome of edge case when it comes to how a browser is typically used, and is actually exactly the type of thing they want to optimize because basically if you aren't looking at the tab, it's not being used (generally).

Maybe use electron or something?

It probably doesn't.

We did, up until my son accidentally chucked the Wii remote into it :(. Ours was an LG set with passive 3D. It was great for the kids' animated movies. I didn't really find any non-animated movies for it. By the time we had to replace the set (last year), the number of movies being released without a 3D version was increasing, so I saw the writing on the wall and opted for a cheaper set without 3D.
Make it a single page thing and spread the image out over multiple desktops. Make it a real desktop app instead. I do think Chrome / Google is (if they go through with this) actively going to fight against using the browser as an application platform though. At the very least they should give notifications to webapps that they are about to go to low-power mode, act differently when on a power cable, and check whether the tab is visible or not.

"You can throw an exception to another thread, at any time;"
"The other thread will receive the exception immediately, whatever it is doing."

Does anybody know how this is implemented in the runtime system?
How does one thread communicate with another thread?
And how do you need to look at this for it not to be a side-effect?

Any insight is much appreciated.
I've said before that there is probably an interesting alternate universe out there was G+ was built on top of Talk, Reader, and Wave instead of replacing those three. They really did throw out several babies in trying to throw out their over-silo-ed bathwater.

This is the problem my startup is going to solve! It's going to be a service connecting muggers and burglars who steal your physical stuff with criminals who want your passwords! I'm going to call it Robbr!
Can't we use serviceWorkers to workaround this? That's what they were created for.

I have a webaudio side project that works nicely even on the background using serviceWorkers for timing. I'm hoping it will be the same on 56.
This isn't a full solution, but perhaps inter-tab communication would work? Use whichever tab is focused as the master, then other tabs send messages to the primary as they need work done. It wouldn't work when none of your tabs are focused, but perhaps that's an acceptable constraint.
Almost every PM I've met has an odd/alternative background but the consistent traits I see are:
1. Curiosity
2. The ability to think in a structured/organized way
3. A clear understanding of users, their problems, and how to solve those problems
4. Ability to understand coworkers and motivate or influence without authority

I would argue that the above aspects can come from any discipline. I've recruited Pm's (via internal transfer) who worked in accounting/finance as well as one who worked a supply chain position.

Regarding my path, i also didn't follow a standard trajectory. I had been building websites (sometimes programing, sometimes writing content) with friends for a few years in college as a hobby. I stopped attending college and began a 4yr career as a professional gamer. During this time, I continued to work on side projects with friends, usually in an 'editor in chief' capacity for a small blog or website.

When my pro gaming stint ended (short answer: it was not a consistent enough income stream as most revenue came from tournaments), I was offered a job as community manager of one of the tournaments I competed in. They hired me because of my regular posts about the rules and games and felt I would be good at representing the community's needs. I went back to school (studying creative writing) and worked this remotely.

From here, a friend who i met via working as community manager recommended me from an open editor in chief position at a small (unfunded) startup. In my first meeting, they showed me the redesign they were working on and I asked a lot of questions about their thought process and why they did certain things that didn't make sense to me. The designers loved this feedback (they had never received anything actionable before) and we ended up meeting regularly. This company was acquired (small talent acquisition) and the CEO of the new company was excellent at mentoring people and quickly told me (based on what I was already doing) that I should be a PM.

In summary.. The best way to become a PM is to start doing it. Find side projects and contribute however you can (writing, coding, design, customer support, etc) and while you're there, ask lots of questions to try to deeply understand the product, the users, and the decisions that the organizers take.

Fundamentally you want to answer (or help them answer if they can't) three questions:
1. Why does this product exist in the world?
2. What does success look like?
3. How do we get there?

Ransomware 'bluff' trick is costing victims big with no real danger
Hi all, here's a hypothesis on the psychology behind the growth of mobile gaming versus other platforms. Obviously, a big part of the growth is due to the install base of the platforms, but perhaps there's some psychology behind it as well. Console and PC gaming require scheduled time and intent to solve the need to escape while mobile gaming is a distraction and the action is much simpler, just open an app whenever you're bored. What do you think?
Why will car driving get cheaper? I think the argument is that Uber will get cheaper, not that owning and driving your own car will get cheaper. Perhaps it will get slightly cheaper if self-driving is much safer and thus leads to lower insurance costs, but that's about the only effect I can think of.
