Online games avoid that problem by having an authoritative networking architecture, not by avoiding minor deviations in CPU behavior between players. Games that use synchronized lockstep that use floating point math always desync, because floating point math differs slightly between different processors.

Curved motions are easy as long as you have simple polygons and only one of them is accelerating and is accelerating in a simple way. You remove the acceleration by skewing the polygon you're going to collide with and then you have a linear path of motion again. (if the acceleration is not constant for the duration of that frame, then skewing doesn't give the right result; as long as you have a closed form representation, though, it's entirely possible to get it right)

"Don't run on a tick-based physics engine" is a misconception. Interactions are the borders between ticks. It's just dynamic. As long as your tick doesn't contain interaction changes inside it, you can simulate that tick with 100% tickrate independence with 100% certainty.

Floating point differences between cpus are Much Larger, especially if your code uses hardware-accelerated trig at all. Games networking is authoritative for this reason.

You can get a 100% repeatable result with a tickless engine.

Fixed timestep doesn't solve the problem. If the user can't run the simulation at 60 ticks per second, they're still going to slow down, period. All you're doing is separating simulation from rendering, which basically every modern FPS under the sun already tries to do in a different way than fixed timestep does. If you run the simulation slow enough that nobody will have performance problems with it, you just added tons of input latency. Thanks a lot, sincerely, someone with dysgraphia.

I thought what makes them RH was their support contract asking for money for (unsupported) CentOS installs, forbidding to republishing kernel patch series if you want to continue to be supported, and the like.

But I've read that text, and have been utterly converted to RH. RH is the ultimate good, go with them, and accept their demands.
Innisfil seems ideal for a small busline, if I remember it correctly the "town" is a relatively small rural grid with big lots.

The density can't be great for Uber drivers.
Not really. Only a few pictures of the room and books surfaced, those you can see on the decifreolivro.com and news videos. The police is currently investigating his disappearance.
A couple of the slides are titled: Getting your first 100 users. I think that's probably a strong attraction/benefit for YC. Its alumni seem almost to be a keiretsu from the outside, offering connections and first sales to their newly hatched brethren.
> What if Levandowski has the files on his home computer

As part of discovery, Uber searched personal computers of some employees (ones who weren't, to be sure, asserting the Fifth.)

It's kind of their problem if their own executive most central to the case won't let them do that; that's Judge Alsup's point.
I think I see: You were comparing the GP to someone in Kalanick's position, not to Levandowski. I don't think Uber itself has pleaded the fifth - though they've made an argument related to pleading the fifth - so I misunderstood you.

I would hold off on taking any lessons at all until it's had a few years to work its way through the courts: News has the problem that outrage generates clicks and views. The question of "Should a company distance itself from executives accused of a crime by a competitor?" seems better served by referring to decades of case law, than by reacting to any news article.
Help, A-Pillar Defect Found
Makes sense. Eyes are closer to the top of a screen than the bottom. Side placement of taskbar makes better use of widescreen space.

It's certainly not perfect and I had some complaints with it (I like window-local menus), but they didn't make the decisions just because.
XFS is one of the most robust filesystems, too.

The xfstests testing suite is basically the standard for filesystem testing, even for non-XFS filesystems.
Why Uber Won't Fire Its CEO
Background checks are useless when so much bad information is floating around...

Is being caught with a gram of pot a good reason to not have a job? Because in states where it is (or even, was, but is not now) illegal its often a felony. I have friends who live in legal states with MJ posession charges from when it wasnt legal. Still haunting them... seems like bullshit all around...

On top of that, here's a fun little story. There is a guy, born a month after me to the day, in the next closest hospital to where I was born, with the exact same first, middle and last name as me. In 2003, he got in a bar fight that spilled out into a parking lot, during the fight his pants where torn (not taken off) in a way that exposed his genitals. He was charged with a sexual crime and is now a sex offender.

You wanna know how often that comes up on low level background checks for me? You know how much it sucks having to preempt a BGC with a future employer with "you might see a thing that says im a sex offender, here's a nice PDF i've made explaining the issue..."

The thing about this that makes it suck so hard, is not only are background checks bleeding other people's information into mine... but the guy is a sex offender for no reason at all... I feel bad for the dude.

Thats why this system sucks, regardless...

Levandowski is asserting his right to remain silent and right now that is sinking Ubers ability to fight any preliminary injunction, given he is working in the exact leading capacity at Uber that these files pertain.
Elm in Production: Surprises and Pain Points [Video]
Yeah I like the web-of-moderators, as I said.

>This doesn't solve the moral or legal issue, but it does solve the "i'm offended" issue. Which is more that what we could do up until here.

I entirely disagree. It does not solve that issue at all. The issue there is that people feel they have the right to filter out everything they disagree with or find uncomfortable. They don't.

The TV news doesn't avoid showing images that are graphic, they say 'graphic images upcoming, turn off if you can't handle it' then show them.
"You will provide us this, or you will be an ex-employee."
It seems like Uber has to prove a negative here - because Google has evidence Levandowski took the files they need to show they don't have theM? Or that the files weren't involved in their self driving IP? Not sure how they're supposed to do that.
There are people working specifically on RHEL7 on AWS (and I am in the virtualization team, albeit working on the KVM side).

What features are you interested in?
If I visit website A it should not know that I also visited website B. HTTP or HTTPS is irrelevant - they are totally separate connections and this does not assume anyone is in the middle.

Of course, there are attacks that already work using cache timing, but that isn't a good thing.
I don't know where this guy stands on the political spectrum, but I know that I respect the crap out of him. He's got my support!
Ello, Mastodon.
For their embedded device support I'd like to see them go even smaller than what they list on their Core (IoT) devices page. Sure, Raspberry Pi is nice and all, but I wouldn't build an embedded system around it.

Lately I've been hacking some projects on the Arduino Industrial 101, which has a small Atheros AR9331 MIPS based SoC, but it ships with a very old OpenWRT that doesn't seem to get much in terms of updates. I spent time building a new image for it based off of the LEDE fork that is being brought back into OpenWRT, then wrestled with various parts of the Linux side of the board, but ultimately I really don't want to be managing build pipelines for Linux system updates. At this point I may just wait for AVR changes to Rust to land and ditch the Linux side all together.

That's all to say, it really would be nice to have a small footprint embedded Linux distribution that wasn't mainly focused on routers like OpenWRT (not a knock on OpenWRT). Raspberry Pi and Samsung Artik 10 aren't really something I'd completely consider as embedded systems (also not a knock on either of those boards).
During development of the game [Prototype] I experimented with a number of game logic update scenarios, including variable timesteps, fixed (potentially multiple per frame) and limited fixed (potentially leading to slow motion), in combination with factors like enabling and disabling vsync, taking into account camera movement (speed, mostly horizontal or mostly vertical?), amount of explosions and debris going off, etc. To try and find the best experience for the player at each moment.

But we always had physics running at a fixed update rate (always receiving a constant delta time) regardless of any of the above. Trying variable rates there will ruin the stability of your movement, collisions, platforming, etc in any system that is complex or requires precision and predictability.
For vanilla Debian you can use "debdelta". It is not integrated to apt-get and it misses a lot of packages but still helps a lot compared to downloading full packages. Ubuntu would need a separate delta server for it to be usable for their packages.
And SPEC files are much easier to work with than Debian's folder full of different files.
But that's an isolated incident. Those aren't common, and even if they were common, Twitter is great about reporting those people to the police.
Russia may prosecute Jehovah's Witnesses as extremists
I really like the products not projects mantra. It kind of explains both the problems that open source projects have, but also the failure of so many Google projects.
For RHEL7, XFS is the recommended filesystem. It has a lot of backports so don't be fooled by the 3.10 kernel version---but not CoW.

Btrfs is not mature enough. ZFS-on-linux is not supported and I've never seen a customer using it.
Because making profit isn't the goal of PBS.
I'd say philosophy is the search for ideas and models of thought, not whether they're true (knowledge) but only whether they're plausible and consistent. Philosophers also search for "toolkits" -- methods and relations (logic) that enable manipulation of "thought atoms" in ways that minimize loss of signal or introduce contradiction.

Knowledge is the purview of science, since scientists have to judge each of their models against only one possible universe. Philosophers are not so constrained, thus their notion of truth is relative. Like Derrida's, for example.
Ask HN: What are some good React resources?
This just seems like such a strange attitude, given the veritable ocean of non-sports content out there at the moment. If your show got cancelled, it's almost certainly not because of sports; rather, it's exceedingly likely that it's up against some other show (or shows) which drew a larger audience.

In fact, realize that up until very recently a great deal of non-sports content only got created because sports were used as leverage against the cable companies. The bundling that happened on major cable networks required cable companies to carry channels which comparatively few people watch in order for the cable company to be allowed to carry e.g. ESPN. If you're a fan of indie content/comedy, you should be happy about the existence of ESPN et al, otherwise your show would likely not exist.
Dolphins also don't seem to have qualms about raping and other violent behavior. I don't think humans should base their ethics around what a dolphin would do.
Let me quote one of the ZeroNet team members when questioned about potential hacking.

> I wasn't aware of any hackers. The only problem I have since I have been running ZeroNet for a year, is the minor problem of file size mismatch, simply because not all peers in the network have the latest version of a file.

At best, that's an unhelpful attitude. It leads to things like: [0]

Sounds like he is. The guy still runs the part of Uber's company that is under question here. They could fire him, but they have not. They want their cake - not being penalized for his adverse inference - while eating it too - letting him run the part of the company that is in question. And they have not denied that he took the files in question. With no one disputing it Google's claim stands and that alone, with or without adverse inference, might be enough for the prelim injunction.
I've seen it labeled "dolphin". I asked the seller if it was really dolphin, and he said yes, so I bought it. It tasted suspiciously like fish. :-(
No LOL for the person subjected to "compulsory psychiatric care"...

Stop disabling SELinux, though. It works fine out of the box and even though I never needed to on my workstation, it's easy to fix issues.
This is something that makes California such a force for entrepreneurship. The law says you can build things in your spare time with your own equipment and it belongs to you.

Then it is not open source. Open source has a strict definition, from the OSI.

From dictionary.com and merriam-webster.com:

Hack

verb:
- to write computer programs for enjoyment

noun:
- a usually creative solution to a computer hardware or programming problem or limitation
- a piece of code that modifies a computer program in a skillful or clever way

The goal was to code for fun. Then corporations got involved and the goal became to code for a job. Now that money is involved, a goal is to code for money.
Part timing, part quality of the product. When it came out there just wasn't that much competition.
Now there are so many more alternatives that it is likely to lose steam over the next few years - particularly in niche sectors.
Not so long ago I wrote about why it is not the best solution for the real estate sector:

https://smallbusinessforum.co/why-an-alternative-to-wordpres...
I've been always meaning to try this out but always just keep reusing the ESLint config, which is probably a bit out of date now. So the question is, could someone explain to me (and everyone who has these same thoughts) why is StandardJS worth a try?
Yeah, and redshift has been available on Linux for a long time. Now it's built in the OS.

Windows 10 doesn't have that. What's your point?
Aren't you supposed to settle criminal cases before civil ones? Is the guy formally indicted?

If they just did the criminal trial first, he couldn't claim 5th protections, right?
I don't see the big deal. I'm all for it. I know plenty of countries where such unnecessary and unfounded attempts at publicity and attention are illegal, including my own home country. Saying he's a gay clown is pretty much fake news. Everybody hates fake news.
It's a competition of sorts. There used to be people where I work who would one-up each other on spicy food. They were long past the point where you could actually taste anything but the "heat", but they wanted to see who could take the most punishment.

I have a Japanese friend who explained the fugu thing to me (at least, the way he saw it). Every once in awhile a group of people die when they eat fugu that's not prepared properly. So when you go out with your colleagues you try to work the latest such incident into the conversation, and then you order fugu. The goal is to eat it with the supreme nonchalance while trying to make your coworkers visibly nervous.
Debian is truly a solid alternative. Ubuntu, less so. They're shipping an impressive amount of new features, even on LTS releases, but their QA is nowhere as good as Debian or Ubuntu's.
PBS has been facing funding cuts for a long time. Unlike other groups, PBS has actually made significant changes and no longer relies on federal money as much as it used to.
I have no idea but my guess is that it's not the reason, but it's the straw that broke the camel's back (that's the saying, right?)
(IANAL)

Imagine this was a criminal case where person A is charged with hiring person B to kill person C. Exhibit A is a forum post made by person A asking someone to assassinate person C for $15,000, exhibit B is a $15,000 check from person A to person B, and exhibit C is the gun used to kill person C, legally purchased by person A a few months ago and left at the scene of the crime with person B's fingerprints on it. When called to testify in the trial, person B just claims the 5th amendment and contributes zero evidence either way to the trial. How do you prove that person A didn't hire person B to kill person C? That is easily enough evidence to satisfy a jury's "reasonable doubt" so how can you get out of such a predicament?

That's how bad it is for Uber. The above example is a no-win scenario for person A unless you can convince the jury that the check or the gun were planted by the police (or were otherwise fabricated evidence). Uber can't do that because Google's case is so strong and no one is able to deny the theft of all the files.
They can. People do. We donate $10 monthly to TPT, Twin Cities Public Television (the local PBS affiliate).
It takes courage to reflect on previous decisions and re-consider your product strategy. I am quite impressed by Mark Shuttleworth decision to move away from Unity and the desktop/phone convergence that has been slowing down innovation for Ubuntu, and allowed other distributions to catch up.

Every Linux users should benefit from this decision; I am excited to see the improvements they will make to the Gnome environment.
Uber isn't claiming the fifth amendment. A senior executive of theirs is. Their argument is that his choices aren't theirs.

Judge Alsup doesn't seem very sympathetic to that line of reasoning.

He did not, however, decide upon that point at this stage, given that these matters were not properly in front of the court.
Agreed.

Incidentally, what you describe as data convergence is part of a theoretical computing model I call PAO: http://tiamat.tsotech.com/pao
There is room in the market for another browser. One that is as good as Chrome but unencumbered by the conflicts of the advertising business.
People do. That's what the pledge drives and "brought to you by viewers like you" commonly heard on PBS are about.

Different local stations rely on difference funding sources. Stations in smaller or rural markets would have a harder time existing on direct donations alone.
The idea that hackathons can favor style over substance rings true with me. Sometimes people get unfairly screwed by a bad judging panel. This is particularly true when evaluating technical merit : I've literally seen judges swoon over cool looking Axure / Pidoco presentations.

However, it goes deeper than that as not even all developers (myself included) are always as good at evaluating technical merit as we think we are - particularly if the solution involves a lot of math.
Hadoop fails to live up to the promise and the hype
To be more precise, you can't disable telemetry entirely on Windows Home or Professional in a supported manner.

You have root, so you can run third-party programs to do it. I myself use O&O's Shutup10. But this is unsupported and Microsoft overwrites those settings with every major updates such as the 1703 update coming this month. So you need to run it again.
I use a 2012 MacBook Pro 15". I bought a second hand as it was the last mac laptop with a nvidia card. Not the fastest but makes a difference for most machine learning calculations.

It's got 16GB but it's not quite fast enough for my taste. I find myself waisting time on Twitter or HN when compiling or training models or running integration tests.

My ideal laptop would be a 13" mac laptop with a 4K screen, a nvidia card with 3GB of ram, 32GB ram and a nice fast 512GB hard drive. Perhaps it can have a thunderbolt so I can hook up an external 1080 nvidia

Sadly I realize Apple is never going to release such laptops.. I'm describing a Razr Blade or a DEll XPS :(
Dictionary.com says a commercial is "a paid advertisement or promotional announcement." Companies pay PBS, they get an announcement promoting the company. It's a commercial. If Company xxx just wanted to do great things, it could easily give money and seek no acknowledgement (the same way that, ahem, viewers give money and get no on-air acknowledgement, not even a flash in crawling text.) But Company xxx wants to be acknowledged. No problem. But it's a commercial.
That's a different kind of thing—TLS is an extensible protocol, where its various extensions (i.e. code paths) are activated by patterns of data on the wire. libsodium is just a set of components—you can know at compile time exactly which functions in libsodium will or will not ever be called by your program, and can, if you like, use a linker that does LTO to prune the majority of the library out.

That's simply not true. Telemetry is not required to update Windows. I've had it disabled for nearly 2 years now with Shutup10 and my OS updates just fine.

That's just a single datapoint, but Shutup10 and other similar programs are very popular. If it broke updates people would be making noise about it.
A great read that recaps the history of Ember, what helped it stand out from the crowd in the past, and what worked and what didn't, segueing into the introduction of Glimmer.js, a standalone UI component library extracted from Ember 2.10. Congrats to Tom, Yehuda, Godfrey, and the rest of the Ember Core Team! Looking forward to another productive year.
If you want a prebuilt eslint config, and you don't like the really popular ones (eg, airbnb[0]) because they default to requiring semicolons, then this is definitely the most popular of the ones that require you to omit semicolons.

Beyond that, there are no advantages. It's just a decent eslint config that requires you to omit semicolons wherever possible. If that's important to you, use it. If it's not important, or you'd rather not omit semicolons, or if you do want to omit semicolons but you're happy making a one line change to the airbnb preset, then there's nothing to set this apart from more, if you'll pardon the expression, "standard" options. :)

As far as I'm concerned, just 1% is enough for me to question whether this is a reasonable metric and 10% would be "this is utter garbage"
I have to agree that sharing the UI seems like a dead-end.

We saw this in the leap from WinCE to the iPhone, and from tablets that were essentially laptops with the monitor facing outwards, to iOS & android tablets. Besides the hardware finally getting to the right place, designing the UI for the experience was a huge leap.

"Convergence" feels far too much like trying to compromise one to suit the other, right when we've finally learnt not to do that.
