"We shape our tools, thereafter our tools shape us."
I'm not sure what the original post is referring to but many early GPUs were not fully IEEE FP32 compliant, where many operations (particularly trig functions if I recall) would have 24 or fewer bits, either not supporting FP32 or requiring many cycles to compute. This article seems to describe some of the Radeon cards: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minifloat
Sure. I'm saying that Camel doesn't seem to provide what's advertised for those complex cases. Instead, it adds a layer of obfuscation and more constructs to manage to what could otherwise be clean code.

I think we just disagree on that point, as I apparently do with everyone regarding Camel.

But, I don't fret. I also thought J2EE was completely nuts when everyone still believed it was the new sliced bread. :)
Well looks like I'm done with hacker news, I have found a better news source.
Many many many American business already source products from countries with dubious regulations, worker protections etc. The crusade against blood diamonds was only the most visible and successful effort against this. Just take a look at all the Textiles imported from Bangladesh, Seafood from Vietnam, Canned fruits/veggies/everything from Thailand...do you think workers in those countries have the same kind of worker protections as US workers?

I'm not trying to pass judgement here, simply trying to point out that a lot of what we take for granted is already built on the back of people working in bad conditions. (Not even starting to talk about Foxconn and stuff here...)
I'm confused about this too. I thought WebRTC just worked everywhere now.
My guess is that his calculations were akin to using a hash table to sort routing information and analyze the eviction patterns and probabilities over time?
The website looks terrible on Ultra Widescreen monitors. Maybe try it on two monitors and span the browser window over both? I think you got something wrong on styling.

>3. 'useless' class already exists. Employment and usefulness aren't necessarily the same. There are many millions of people in jobs that are 'useless' by some metrics (gas station attendant, supermarket cashiers, etc)

Actually, those jobs are still there. The current useless class are the people who are not capable of holding a modern job. And they're not receiving the support from the society that they should. When you take away someone's ability to support themselves because there are new, more efficient ways of using the shared resources, they're entitled to compensation [1]; but as a society we don't have a good way of enforcing that.

I've been using the same form factor for PC gaming ala linx vision for a while now. And I have to say its brilliant!
Super convenient way to fit gaming into my life.
When my vision dies, I'm switching...uhmmm to the switch.
[Airflow author here] one of the main differences between Airflow and Luigi is the fact that in Airflow you instantiate operators to create tasks, where with Luigi you derive classes to create tasks. This means it's more natural to create tasks dynamically in Airflow. This becomes really important if want to build workflows dynamically from code [which you should sometimes!].

A very simple example of that would be an Airflow script that reads a yaml config file with a list of table names, and creates a little workflow for each table, that may do things like loading the table into a target database, perhaps apply rules from the config file around sampling, data retention, anonymisation, ... Now you have this abstraction where you can add entries to the config file to create new chunks of workflows without doing much work. It turns out there are tons of use cases for this type of approach. At Airbnb the most complex use case for this is around experimentation and A/B testing.

I gave a talk at a Python meetup in SF recently talking about "Advanced data engineering patterns using Apache Airflow", which was all about dynamic pipeline generation. The ability to do that is really a game changer in data engineering and part of the motivation behind writing Airflow the way it is. I'm planning on giving this talk again, but maybe I should just record it and put it on Youtube. It's probably a better outlet than any conference/meetup...
Out of curiosity. For your premium service, do you offer any discounts to open source projects?
Both the N64 and GameCube were not substantially underpowered.

The choice of cartridges over discs, and later mini discs over full sized ones, were not directly ones of choosing the 'weaker option'.

The PS2 and Wii were the weakest systems of their generations and the most successful in terms of hardware unit sales.
Sure but harassment isn't. My understanding is that all of this is optional. As long as anonymous accounts are not abused there's no reason to filter them out. If anonymous accounts are abused people will filter them out. Thus the only people we have to blame are the abusers of anonymous accounts.
With my former career as a creative in games dev, I say that's complete crap. I had access to good and bad tools. With the good tools I could experiment and test ideas quickly. With the bad tools I spent too much time just trying to get stuff to work. I would want tools that boost my creativity by giving me freedom, not boosting creativity to be able to finish my tasks.

Maybe you are thinking boosting creativity to work within the limits of the hardware? That's a different topic.

In my experience, vanilla Unity has better tools for creative out-of-the-box then many engines before it.
It might be relevant that the CM-1's processors were tiny: they had a 1-bit word size.

Maybe this was meant to be a fast rough approximation? 1 + 1/2^-m + 1/2^-n ~= (1+1/2^-m)(1+1/2^-n). So check each bit in a fixed-point int and add a factor from a table for each 1 bit found? Then run a few rounds of Newton iteration at the end if you want it a little less rough? This goes well with the SIMD nature of the machine -- they broadcast single-bit ops one by one to all processors in parallel -- but maybe it's terrible numerically, I haven't checked.
As I recall from when I followed the supercomputer space in more detail, weather was one of the areas that tended to use specialized supercomputers like IBM BlueGene rather than big clusters because the weather models were harder to parallelize. Go back in time and I'm sure you'll see quite a few high-end IBM pSeries. Go further back and there will be things like Cray vector machines.
The announcement linked to above was made in October 2015, 16 months ago, and said the change would be made by the end of 2016.
Spire Global | Senior Software Engineer | SF, Boulder, Glasgow, Singapore | Full-time | On-site

Spire is a satellite-powered data company building out the full pipeline from custom spacecraft to data and analytics products. You can read a little more at http://spire.com or in the news.

I'm looking for experienced software engineers with systems experience to lead teams and architect existing and new systems. Our stack is primarily Python, Linux, and C, but we have plenty of variety, and care less about a language or framework and more about building systems that last.
If you want to learn a little more, e-mail me (Robert) at rdeaton@spire.com with questions.
We have a variety of other roles as well, including Electrical, FPGA and DSP engineers, DevOps, Satellite Operators, Business Development and Sales, which I'm happy to answer questions about or refer you to the right person. https://spire.com/careers/openings/ .
Indeed, and even the new GUI is very limited. Also other tools are not really great, e.g. animation graphs. But I consider this Unity's way the cause of it's success. To make good tools you have to taylor it to specific use case, making it more complicated and limiting users with different use cases.
It definitely looks bad, but I've seen a few videos demonstrating the issue and it only really happens if you have the joycon entirely covered by your hands, or behind your back.

This could be a software bug that is fixable with an update, but that seems unlikely considering it affects the left controller more than the right one, which would indicate a hardware design flaw.
I believe they refer to themselves as a toy company instead of a video game company

My comment is what should happen when people in positions of power condone sexual harassment.

When they issue an apology for something that is also wrong, the fact that they have also systematically condoned sexual harassment is absolutely relevant.

This should be brought up until either they resign or they get fired.

Then, it should be brought up about the members of the board of directors who condone his actions until they resign or are fired.

Until people decide that people like this shouldn't be in positions of power, we're going to live in a society where behavior like we've seen at Uber is commonplace.
Next they'll want proof that the person in the avatar is actually you.
Meditation Is Replacing Detention in Baltimore's Public Schools
I'm a potential customer with enough money to buy basically whatever I want, but nothing about a resolution greater than 1080p has been enticing to me so far (and I own a 4K TV that my feelings are generally "meh" about).

I'm satisfied, so really it's not my problem; it's the problem of the hardware manufacturers and game developers to make better products and do a better job of convincing me that a higher resolution is something I need, and so far they haven't.
I also hear that Uber forked Airflow early on [twice]. I'm curious to hear where they're at at this time.
What's the most expensive stage of software engineering
The TIs have been strongly rumoured for months, I've been waiting for this announcement so I don't end up in your situation.
Do you guys have a product already or still in development? I am interested in running my own betting/trading algos but no platform where I can easily use it and it will take care of the bookmaker-related stuff for me.
For fun, I've been working on a simple hobby web server in Kotlin that wraps Jetty: https://github.com/danneu/kog

I think Kotlin is the statically-typed language I've been waiting for, especially with the team's interest in native and JS targets.
Definitely not. The N64 outperformed the PSX, but it was far harder to program for and cartridges were far more expensive than discs. That's where Nintendo's lack of 3rd party support began. The Gamecube and Xbox were about on par with each other, and both outperformed the PS2. But the PS2 had a huge lead time and strong 3rd party momentum from the PSX. The Wii was the shift where Nintendo began to fall behind on horsepower, instead focusing on broad market appeal, lower price points, and less intimidating input methods. The Wii U and Switch are continuing that trend, trying to chase the Wii dragon, but so far not succeeding.
ya, i have considered this but ultimately i have no interest in moving to Django. there are some little python nuances i would enjoy dropping if i were to make a big move out of flask (i.e. not having to __init__ everything and making things harder to read having to put \ at the end of every line if i am in the middle of a function.

plus there was just too many negative things i read about django when deciding on flask in the first place for me to look past it. also, i am not sure how actively django is updated anymore and that is a big thing that i am looking for with my lack of time to keep up on everything is to trust that the developers of whatever framework i pick are committed to keeping me up to date with the latest-and-greatest in web technologies.

You're right that they can't use LSD straight. But they can develop a nearly identical molecule with identical effects, shepherd that molecule through the FDA approval process, and then have a profitable monopoly. Which on one level sucks but on another level means that if we really can benefit from LSD as a drug then we should expect Big Pharma to let us get it through our doctors once the regulatory/legal barriers to using it go away.
One thing to note here in HN is that, competitiveness of many a business is on the table because of this state of affairs. This is really so. The opportunity to organically develop technology with the business is always lost if the CIO skill is mostly that of a Purchasing Manager. Outside contractors will easily sell you a "roadmap" that looks nice and modular for management, with only contracts to manage :-)

Engineers need to get smarter, learn something from marketing and management, develop and protect their ideas, and move on to new business strategies for themselves.

The stated goal of reason is somewhat orthogonal to deriving logically correct conclusions, which is what reason is usually assumed to be for. But that conclusion - that reason is for keeping culture stable - was reached through some use of the reasoning process. But the reasoning process that was used isn't actually for reaching logically correct conclusions. Therefore, the conclusions reached may not actually be logically correct.
I met a New Zealand network security specialist in Santa Monica recently. He and his mate moved here. When the general is calling forward the reserves, the reservist would do well to take heed of the front line that's coming toward them.

FWIW I am now dealing with a system that is supported by HPE for over 10 years now. Even if they get bought out, someone will inherit those support obligations. I am also in the camp of not trusting Google with anything.

I'm in the opposite camp. I'm a happy owner of Wii U and would probably skip the Switch.

I don't like the compromises (mostly performance) made just to make it portable. That's the use case that doesn't interest me in the slightest.

I would just prefer a beefy modern console that plays fun Nintendo-ecosystem games.
Just as a personal anechdote: I have cable for one reason -- my local cable provider has a monopoly on the A's. I cannot watch the A's play babeball without a $75 per month Comcast subscription. It is not included with the $30 shit tier cable they offer.

This fucking sucks, especially because baseball is as American as you can get. But then, charging people for stuff that used to be free is also as American as you can get.

a common criticism of the n64 was that it used cartridges while other consoles of the same era had adopted cd-roms offering much higher capacity. that lead to some games being shorter and/or simplified on the n64 compared to their equivalents on other platforms.
I've used Screenflow[1] and it works well enough. There some nice editing features like calling out specific area or making small annotations on screen. Theres also a feature of exporting a video as a GIF, which can be nice in certain situations.

(m/f) stands for male or female.

The reason to still state that the job is available to both genders is that the word describing the job is most often masculine.
I haven't used AWS, but my experience with AppEngine and by extension GCP is similar.

Just last week I got an email saying that they'd discovered an issue on Google Cloud Datastore where certain (strongly consistent!) queries could have been returning incorrect results for a week long period and that I should check my logs to see if anything important had been affected in my application.

That's not the sort of behaviour that inspires confidence in a service.

For those politically on the centre and left, what are the correct responses to scientific evidence that different population groups have different cognitive abilities?
Well, they should do something besides sinking money into iterations of the Wii U, which had the same "has potential" reviews when it came out, then faded into obscurity.
Weren't N64 games over all higher resolution than PS1? I remember PS1 being just a jagged mess compared to N64
