1. There's shades of legacy code, 20 years of rot is way different than 5 years. There's also different states of legacy code, and it sounds like this is not in the good state. So being sold on one universe where the real universe is so far off, that's a special case of embitterment that's maybe more justified than lesser lies.

2. I don't necessarily agree with the premise, he's not looking for a greenfields project, he's looking to use the toolset he was sold on during the interview process. There's plenty of established companies that have moved from xyz -> React in the past year or so.

This seems a classic case of being either deceptive or self-deluded from the interviewing side, with classic results. Its foolish, it rarely results in good things, and it's a huge waste of time for everyone when interviewers are not straightforward with candidates. Don't do it, and I would not feel bad for a second leaving a place that pulled that.
And they're willing to let go of an idea - like the car, TV, etc that they have probably spent a nontrivial amount of money into. Or postpone it for a few years, like the ipad which was conceived well before the iphone.

Those older JRPGs really could use some unit testing.

Another one of my favorites is from the Gameboy (original) Final Fantasy Legend. There's a weapon, Saw, which performs an instant kill if it hits. It was supposed to work if your Strength is higher than the opponent's Defense, meaning it could take out random mobs in a single hit, i.e., the usual sort of useless instant kill technique that only instantly kills things that were already not a threat to you. However, the comparison sense is reversed, so it only instantly kills opponents whose defense is higher than your strength.

In particular, you can one-hit the final boss with this: https://youtu.be/bCyToT8jiJ4?t=1m26s As this predates the era of "post-game content" this is supposed to be the hardest fight in the game.

Programming language development is extremely different from scientific experimentation. I honestly don't know why you'd even compare them; the authors of this paper certainly aren't making a general statement that the existence of an important person makes systems worse.
Utilizing Apache Beam for Big Data Preparation
Although I am skeptical that Apple will bring out a good, furnished AR product, I am afraid that they might actually be successful because developers have often showed a good inclination towards making apps for Apple devices, and it is one of the primary reasons why Apple has been really successful in what they do, they have apps. Microsoft's HoloLens uses apps from their Windows Store and those that they made themselves, which is a very big limitation for them, and when both devices are out in public and ready for use, Apple will probably get a much larger influx of apps for their device than other AR/VR products. Even failed Apple devices are good money-makers for Apple, and apps are one of the main reasons for it.

The only reason I see Apple failing in the AR and VR field is their lack of data. Apple refuses to save data from their users, and although it is something I admire about them, it is what drives Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Google and Microsoft is successful in this area because of the data they collect (via their Search engines and other OS services), which Apple does not. It is one of the reasons why Siri is competitively weaker than it's counterparts on Android and Windows, because it does not have a good data-driven Machine Learning backend, and unless Apple starts changing their policy on the type of data they collect and use from their devices, their AR/VR devices will go the same way, that is they will be successful in the amount of sales they make, but will be the weakest in terms of functionality and services they can provide.
I dont see a reason that waymo has to license anything to a potential competitor that they could very easily put out of business instead, especially at such a low amount.
> Formalization and proofing is what MATTERS. If you ain't got that, you're basically just guessing.

You're guessing either way. By formalizing and using deductive proof on those forms, you're guessing that your forms correctly model the intended behavior, which gets harder as the forms get more powerful and abstract. You can 100% guarantee the properties that follow from the forms. You can't deductively prove that your forms are the right forms, and that becomes more important--and harder to verify--as the forms get more abstract and powerful.

Which is what irritates me about static typing zealots. Static typing is useful in that it provides deductive guarantees, but it's not free and does have tradeoffs and pitfalls. Instead of requiring 100% guarantees of correctness, you can relax it and require sufficient guarantees of correctness, which will enable you to use the same mechanisms to inductively prove more useful things more easily, and allow you to use the same mechanisms to verify more assumptions and properties than is reasonably possible with formal verification. That's a tradeoff that should be considered more often than it is.

A primitive example of this is the use of unit tests to replace some of the formal proofs done by type checkers. There are undervalued advantages to writing programs that way--leaning on inductive instead of deductive guarantees of correctness.
Talking about Sweden Uber is just another taxi company here. It's not possible to provide taxi service without having a license. Uber has to comply. Still it's more convenient to use their app because it has better UX than everything else on Swedish market.
It just strikes me as weird because it doesn't really need anything more than OpenGL 1.1 (assuming you want to use the GPU). When i see games require versions of OpenGL greater than 1.x but do not have any fancy functionality, it is usually because they want to use OpenGL Core. This isn't the case here, so i wondered why.
The problem with this is there is a whole industry around what is called 'negative SEO' which has basically defeated the purpose of these reporting tools.

It goes like this. You want to hurt a competitor so you hire an SEO agency to do a bunch of black hat stuff to the competitor's site. Then you report the competitor's site to google in hopes that they penalize them. Now google is put in an awkward position where the site that looks guilty is actually innocent.

For Google, the best place to focus is moving away from penalties for the most part and just trying to devalue spammy tactics. It'll never be perfect, but at least this way you avoid companies attacking each other.
The advantage is the same - integrated ecosystem of products they have strong control over and brand recognition. That's why this story pops up about everything, whether it's true or not or whether Apple can actually leverage the advantage. Also, aren't dark horses inherently latent?
The joke of it is, Cameron called the foolish referendum in a misguided attempt to silence the Europe-sceptics within his party once and for all (which every Tory leader since Thatcher has unsuccessfully tried to do).

Those same sceptics are now running government policy and wont be satisfied with anything short of a full, hard separation from Europe. They've waited 30+ years for this and are hell-bent on finally achieving it, rest of the country be damned.

It's going to be a long, sad car crash and, with no effective domestic political opposition in sight, I hope Europe has the balls to make it as difficult for us as possible. The faster the country hits rock bottom the faster we can have a wholesale purge of the UK political class and start again.

The Go vs Rust narrative seems to have thankfully mostly gone away (although I'm sure it will never die out completely). The areas that they're targeted and the things that they are best for have now become clearer to the community at large, and they don't necessarily overlap that much.

That said, I don't use either of them at work, so I'd interested to hear a counter-argument.
>>I suspect the root of the problem is our system of education. The primary goal these days seems to be obedience and unquestioning believe in authority

>You would think so. But my dad is a varsity Professor with a PhD, my mom has a Masters in English. They believe literally every cock and bull story they see on Facebook.

This is precisely what the parent to your comment is saying. Many (most?) degrees hold more symbolic value (read, fake) than real practical value because that is what education has devolved into: favoring symbolism (test scores, degrees) over real life applicability.

>If there was a trusted (read, authoritative) service that one could use to vet such stories then the problem would go away.

This is a logical fallacy.

If you already think you lack the ability to find truth, how would you know it was real when someone else supposedly gave it to you? If you can't trust yourself how can you trust your trust in others?
Janteloven is more about not assuming you are better than others. Being happy is perfectly compatible with that.
> but I have to believe it's possible to synthesize boring goop that gives you everything you need

It is, but to make it as bioavailable and "healthy" as regular food is a challenge (and extremely expensive).

Contemporary goop uses synthetic micronutrients (as opposed to more bioavailable organic) and extracts (as opposed to full-profile concentrates).

This is also ignoring that Soylent's ingredient profile is likely incompatible with a large part of the public.

> I know they're different things, but isn't the main reason to do hash indexes in a relational db to then to a hash join?

I think the primary use case is O(1) lookup by key, i.e. similar to how key/value stores work.

I'm not aware of the planner being able to reuse an existing hash index to perform a hash join. AFAIK the hash buckets are created on the fly. That does sound like a cool idea though.

> More the point, even if you're just talking indexes you can't load/use half a hash table, so wouldn't the point also apply to isolated use of a hash table.

What do you mean by half a hash table?
What do you mean "don't politicize maps"? Maps are one of the most political things there are, with countless wars and disputes over territories, boundaries, and their importance in navigation and imperialism. I also don't get your claim that it isn't mapmaking—it's a map, look—or education, when maps have a big role in history classes and affect one's worldview. It's about striving for an accurate representation of our globe, and if you're against that because "the evil SJWs!", maybe it's you who needs to stop politicizing things. Regarding Google Maps, not every classroom is equipped with a projector, and a globe would have to be really large for students to see them and you'd need a 2D representation for student printouts anyway.
This. Commercial stoves and ovens don't have any where near the fire safety constraints as consumer models. A typical commercial setting will include stainless steel jacketed walls, and a mandatory fire suppression system.

Well, it seems there are two of us on the Internet. I do almost everything except browsing the web straight from the terminal.

> people knew about it from sheer novelty

This is a really good point. The essence of the question probably boils down to how many people like us there are out there, who want an alternative badly enough to work on it (and in it) while it's small and sparse. The only real feature I can think of that might seriously set it apart from today's net for everyone else is privacy protection, which could be built in from the ground up.

Indeed, and this is why natality is an important topic for democracy. It's not just a matter of resources. Everything is easier to manage with less people, meaning more transparency, fairness and equality. The fact that we are not over populated doesn't mean we should not think seriously about decreasing our population size. It's probably a requirement to make the system evolve.

No. Brexit means Brexit, and the government is committed to fulfilling the will of the people. One of the things the people want is £350 million a weak for the NHS. This is what the people want and this it must be actioned. The will of the people must not be denied by the elites in Westminster.

Anyone who doesn't agree with this is basically trying to deny the will of the people, and might even be considered to be a traitor.

Shouldn't we try to shield people from doing things that may affect them negatively in the first place

How has that worked out? The War on Drugs has been an abysmal failure, as was Prohibition, making gambling illegal, etc. Can you name one time that the government has ever successfully "shielded" anyone from something negative?
Well, nothing good.

Opportunity cost, inflation, maybe you would be able to invest in something that makes you 100x more wealthy instead of hoarding cash. This could make you so rich that you would not have to keep those savings but you would have "different" savings.

You don't want to keep your emergency fund in non liquid investment or high risk one.
> This way we can describe that the Camera will have a relation of 1:1 with a Render Pipeline.

If all you're making are smartphone games, this might work [1]. But for more complex scenarios, this sort of thing would be a non-starter. You ideally need to support N:1, Cameras to Pipelines. Not just for N=2 for VR, but N=3 for VR+spectator mode, and N=4+ for projection mapping to surfaces as well.

[1] I say "might" because smartphones are getting more powerful and will probably very soon (as in 2 to 3 years, i.e. about when such a new project would be usable) be decent VR platforms.
Find a new job ASAP. If an employer lies to you, then you probably can't trust them. Life and career are too short to continue navel gazing on this one.

In the meantime, go learn the new old stack and be productive. They're paying you, so while they're paying you, you do owe them your time.
The Bernina 1008 is great. Yes, it is made in Thailand, but the quality is still excellent. I guess it isn't very modern though, it hasn't changed since being introduced more than 15 years ago, and even then it's pretty much the same as its predecessor.
I was very similar, I started out quite strongly in favour of remaining, did quite a lot of research and ended up firmly stuck on the fence, with my only reasons to stay being any to avoid taking any economic damage

Mercury binds to selenium and inactivates its "toxic" effects.

Thankfully, fish is high in selenium (almost 1:1 to with mercury, thus canceling both out, in swordfish. Most others have ratios < 10:1).
Google was planned before the referendum.

Dyson is pro-brexit and has had a problem with having enough office space for a while (so probably unrelated to timing of referendum but making noise because it supports his position).

Apple are the only one who are new in that list, and it may just be a consolidation of existing office space.
Plenty of affordable places, just not near Toronto or Vancouver. If I wanted a less exciting life I'd buy a two bedroom in Halifax or Quebec City.

Take a look at Saint-Roch in Quebec City, for example. Two bedroom hip condo is around $200k. No car necessary, just walk around to buy stuff. In Halifax it would be around $240k for something downtown and walkable. In Toronto you'd be paying around $800k for these types of places.

I agree that there is a bubble, but it's mostly in BC and the GTA, everywhere else still seems like it hasn't jumped the shark.

Numatic[1] has always been my vacuum of choice.

The best part is you can get spares. Hose cracks? £12 for a new one. Wheel breaks? £8 delivered.

I bought expensive high end Miele's (washer and dryer) but they broke within 6 years and getting spares was crazy expensive and limited to just a couple places.

The discussion here has revolved around paying more for better quality but something the repair tech opened my eyes too when my stuff failed is simply planning for failure.

Others have pointed it out that everything will fail at some point, so you might as well buy something you can repair. That's lead me to change how I buy and landed me with a George vacuum, White-knight dryer and super common Hotpoint washer with readily available spares.

This isn't to point out you should have done differently, just a different way to respond to what is an industry wide problem of planned obsolescence.

Although the difficulty adjustments in Bitcoin are much slower than in Ethereum.

The chain with the smaller hash rate is unlikely to be functional for a long time (unless new miners step up but this would be a tremendous investment).

This is by design as this makes it economically unfeasible to fork the chain and suddenly have twice the amount of coins.

People who accuse the EU of wanting to be a United States of Europe are at least a decade out of date. Political power within the EU ultimately lies in the hands of individual national governments, not the EU structure as a whole (who's Jean-Claude Juncker again?).

After the failed EU constitution and the tribulations of the Lisbon Treaty, there has been absolutely no energy towards attempting any further federalization. Look at the response to the Greek sovereign debt crisis, or the ongoing migrant crisis. I doubt there will be any credible push towards "ever closer union" for at least another decade--and even then, it would still require at least the cooperation of major national governments.

Yes, it's possible for the rest of the EU to gang up on one country if they do a vote "wrongly" (cf., Ireland). However, Britain is one of the largest countries in the EU. If the French or German governments objected to a proposed treaty revision, it would be incapable of passing. And Cameron's "renegotiation" actually did get a similar guarantee in writing to apply to Britain.

It's also worth pointing out that you're asking to leave the EU at this point, which means you should expect to forfeit the benefits of being in the EU and should not expect to receive any more favorable treatment than other countries outside the EU (such as Canada) with respect to things like trade.
> You effectively have a life sentence even if you never had to step foot inside a jail cell.

This is not a Facebook problem, nor is it a problem that can be fixed structurally since a fundamental disagreement about what constitutes fake news exists along partisan lines. When 'fake news' aligns with an individual's bias, the truth has now become the lie. Any attempt to wrest the non-aligning view-point from the realm of facts is met with a doubling-down and a recursive poisoning of every well.

The only viable solution must come from the top-down. People will only reject fake news when leaders emphasize critical thinking and shoot down false stories, especially when the fake narrative is favorable to them or their position.
The only way this makes any sense at all is if the EU and the Euro collapses - at which point, the UK may well appear to be a safe haven. This is a possibility: Grexit, Le Pen, Russia/US wanting to get rid of Merkel, alleged weakness of Deutsche Bank, to name but a few.

But if the above scenario does not happen, the UK, or WEngland in all likelihood, will become a poor, backward, inward looking nasty little place, with few rights for most people, and London will probably continue to be a nice place to dump cash.

It's incredibly depressing.
There are also all sorts of legal barriers to kicking out people who have been in the UK for any length of time. It simply isn't the case that there are going to be millions of people forced to leave. Future immigration policy will need to be decided - I can't see a scenario in which talented Europeans who want to work in the UK are going to be turned away.

More interesting will be what happens to tech immigration from the rest of world. It is entirely possible that we end up with easier immigration to/from North America as a result.
Miele is definitely the best. Their vacuum cleaners are great too. I have two, and they are both > 10 years old, and showing no signs of wearing out.
My BMW had a rather rudimentary HUD (they've since gotten a lot better). I think something like that for personal use would be really cool: the ability to look via some glasses or something at an object and see wikipedia snippets or the like.

Politics assumes a zero sum game.

Experts create non-zero sum outcomes.

Humans, due to their loss aversion bias, prefer politics to expertise.

Thus brexit.
One good reason to leave is that the EU is undemocratic.

However, reforming the EU political structure would be preferable to leaving.
