Great work! This is really impressive stuff, and it's applaudable that you saw this project through to the very end!

I'm actually seeing some hitching in the car demo on my reasonably fast dev machine, particularly when I'm interacting with the bridge (computing contact forces of a bunch of bodies connected with joints is a lot of work):

Have you looked at perf yet? How does the performance of your rewrite planck.js compare to a compiled emscripten version?

Would you ever consider using something like ASM.js or WebAssembly? Physics libraries are definitely one of those performance-critical applications where this kind of stuff actually matters a whole lot.
That's frustrating, I realise. It's probably the most common feature I'm asked about regularly (alongside group Direct Messages). Polls are complicated to add, as there are three aspects (creating, voting, and then seeing the results), and they depend on cards, which are also not currently part of the API. It would be good if we at least added the information that a poll is attached to a Tweet to the Tweet JSON object, even if we can't do all the other things right away. I'd suggest keeping an eye on the roadmap for where we're going, but can't promise those things right now.
Nothing specific to announce at the moment, but yes, that's the direction that we refer to in the blog post - a new developer portal that would enable you to scale via tiered pricing in the future (but that remains free to use for standard access).
Unluckily, due to the underlying Electron architecture, I suspect much of VSCode's issues with large files are unsolvable.

"this guy is a creep whose Gorean fantasies are linked to regressive views"

Judging people for the type of sex they have? Isn't this the same sort of reasoning that led to persecuting the LGBT+ community?
I wrote the blog post. It turns out writing a blog post works better than talking to the bank beyond simple catharsis. Just got a call from someone from Bank of America's social media team who credited the money back to my account. Thanks for all the suggestions here!
That is very cynical. But there might be an element of truth behind it.
Have you looked at cross referencing against the star ratings? Would be interesting to see how predictive this was of those ratings... or even if another variable in the system could predict that?
Techy people, by and large, don't understand marketing. We think that technology should sell itself, and anyone who needs convincing of the superiority of some solution is just dumber than they are. Combined with the elitism complex we see all over academia and the genuine complexity of AI research as it stands today... recipe for sociopathic disaster.

> The main difference is things tend to happen out in the open...

I don't think this is just due to a difference in the degree of openness in dealing with personal issues.

It's also the fact that project maintainers can use the project to advance their personal agenda, while a company cannot do that to the same extent.

For example, imagine if a company terminated a business partnership based only on the suspicion of sexual discrimination at the partner firm.

I think most people would find this premature or inappropriate, especially if the partner firm was not found guilty in a court, or if it did not admit any wrongdoing, and there isn't a history of such allegations at the firm.
The problem here is that you are dealing with people who grew up in a trade based enviornment and recreate it. This doesn't mean that the "natural" state of humanity is trade or that trade is at all engraved in human nature. Presumably if you had a functioning communist society and took some people from it and put them into a capitalist society their instinctive reaction would be to create a miniature communist collective. That doesn't mean that communism is engraved in human nature, just that people recreate what they know.

Post author here, thanks for your perspective.

The "stay with the herd" argument is fair… if you're using/aping projects that have working Maven builds, it might be easier to mimic those than try to use a totally different tool; in fact, this is how my coworkers and I ended up starting on Maven: we effectively inherited the decision from Spark and ADAM.

"The herd" is also great for larger tooling/plugin support, but IME Maven folks more often than not think that SBT is less at parity than it is.

A related thing you called out is the "years ago" bit; a lot of people I talked to in the course of writing this had a bad experience with SBT N years ago (including myself!), so I think there's probably been a lot of improvement in SBT-land in the last few years, based on my finding it to be much more attractive now than it was last time I looked.

Finally, "spending time screwing around with your build system" is not unique to SBT :) in fact, that's partly why I became fed up with Maven ("I can enable these properties with profile A, and these other properties with profile B, now, is there one switch that can turn on both these profiles, which I frequently want to do?" comes to mind).

Anyway, we can ofc disagree about which tool to use for a given situation, I just wanted to express that I wish someone had put me on SBT sooner; good to know that others have had the opposite experience!
There is, at least in theory: call 311. However what's to stop the driver from slowing the meter down before he gets inspected? There's no GPS in the meter, as far as I'm aware, so I don't believe there's a way to truly audit the fares the driver has already taken.

This is actually how market makers operate. They buy/sell your stock, but the exchange also gives them a rebate on their fees. So selling your shares at $15.25 + fees (directly passed to you) but the exchange gives them a rebate of $0.02 per share. Naturally now your broker is incentivized to funnel transactions through whomever offers the best rebate, not the necessarily the best price.

Having read a ton of Hayek I thought I'd share what the real Hayek is like, not the libertarian poster child. Actually existing Hayek would probably disappoint most libertarians. He’s against corporate personhood, skeptical about patents and copyright, and for urban planning, unemployment benefits, public health, socialized medicine, and inheritance taxes. It seems like what gets him really riled up is setting prices for cucumbers or state-owned hat factories.

His contribution to social science is his focus on distributed information in economic production. Think about how decision-making is distributed in capitalist economies: bankers, investors, asset managers, producers, distributors, retailers, brokers, executives, corporate planning departments, middle managers, marketing departments, advertising, etc. Just imagine trying to replicate all that effort with a few office buildings' worth of planners in Moscow (Compare that to just Wall Street!). You can't run an economy without enough planners.

Hayek never tells jokes. I think if he had any sense of humor at all it might have occurred to him that designing the perfect society without planners (or much democracy) was certainly a kind of planning. He's like the whiteboard in "Office Space" that says "Planning to Plan" except it says "Planning to not Plan" and it's three books and 700 pages long ("Law, Legislation and Liberty").
Is it their right? Yeah, probably. Is it right? Let's apply a simple test here.

Let's replace every mention of "Gor" or "BDSM" with "Bear" and "Homosexuality". Suddenly, it is clear that the actions actually are puritan kink-shaming. Mentioning someone's sexual deviancies in public like this also comes close to character assassination in the age of the Google.

So what is the result of this? We got one developer/manager ousted, and we got a project that has lost some talent and created a rift between those who do not want to be associated with hate crimes and those who get offended by what happens in other people's bedrooms. In the end, everyone loses.

No. This exploit runs against the firmware of the wireless chipset itself. (That's what's so weird and interesting about it.)

That being said -- the wireless chipset firmware is loaded by the application processor, so it still requires an OS update to fix.

I am having a lot of trouble wrapping my brain around the exact use case here. But, I am wondering if something like a private BlogSpot blog would serve your needs.

You can add links and photos. You can get a Blogger App and potentially use that directly from your phone to make notes and/or post your photos from your phone. You can add labels to posts. Etc.

I have a OneNote account. I never use it. I have some other big name note taking account. I rarely use it and haven't logged in for ages.

But I have multiple private BlogSpot blogs to track various categories of information. Of all the things I have tried, that has worked best for me for organizing information in a way that works for me and is accessible from any device.
That's a really good piece of feedback that I'll be sure to pass along. In terms of plans and pricing, we're not yet announcing those details, but stay tuned as the new APIs we reference in the two blog posts today mature. We'll continue to offer free access to the APIs as well.
absolutely. ssb avoids using DHT for these reasons (and to prove you can build something interesting without using them)

> all the people are from Google's project.

Didn't they earlier hire away CMU's self-driving car folks?
Yes. For log data, it's simply a matter of reading from a replica peer of the down node.

For transaction resolution it's a bit easier if you are able to assume more about the storage layer's semantics.

For example, if you store versioned values for some bounded period of time (ala MVCC), you can go to other replicas for the version required to resolve a transaction, removing the restriction that transaction resolution must proceed in lock-step across all nodes, and allows transaction reads to route to live peers assuming they have the required version of each read dependency.
You would think that there enough geeks out there who are aware of the issues with Intel ME to do something about. But after this time the best we have is a nasty hack that can kind of disable it.

Don't we have the numbers (and quite frankly the money) to solve this issue at the root? Why can't we (the broader tech community) sell a laptop aimed principally at ourselves. Without Intel ME. Without closed-source firmware. No binary blobs.

Pardon the rant. I'll go back to being naive in silence.
Fuchsia is not an answer to this question. It's exactly the same as Android. Android is technically open source as well.

Also, Fuchsia will never be an distribution or branded OS on it's own. It might replace the Linux kernel is some bigger operating systems. Could replace Linux in android or chrome but I doubt it'll be fully new standalone OS.
SVB is absolutely fantastic, has great service, saves us a ton of money on wires, and helps in so many other ways. Great bank, happy customer.
I've heard it said that the point of a Ph.D. is less about the specific thesis topic than the fact that you can spend 8 years going deep on some arbitrary thing and come out successful. If someone needs a problem solved that takes 8 years of focus to do, a Ph.D. is a pretty good indicator that you can do it reliably. If you're the sort of person who enjoys taking (up to) 8 years to make a contribution to the world, a Ph.D. is a good way to do it, and also to prove to others you can do it.

Most of my college professors, I believe, had thesis topics that are only loosely related to their current field of research. To pick a random example, Ron Rivest's thesis was on searching large files or something, which is somewhat related to one of his most famous publications (the algorithms textbook), completely unrelated to the other (the RSA algorithm), and mostly, I think, unrelated to his current research (secure electronic voting).

"some ~5% of physicians are still paying off their med school debt at 60 years old"

I bet that for a lot of these physicians it's because the debt has favorable terms, not because it's onerous.

I expect to be paying off educational debt well into my fifties. I could pay it off right now, but the rate is below 2 percent, so it's advantageous to carry the debt. In particular, if I die the debt is wiped clean...but if I have already paid it back, my heirs won't get that money back. No reason at all to pay off this debt until I have to.
Perhaps because they already have the identities of most of the others.
That doesn't sound at all strange to me, the drug makes you lose touch with reality (sort of by definition) and taking of your clothes is a common LSD trope, pulling the fire alarm is unfortunate but not so serious.

> It's getting downvoted because there will always be open source OS'es that can run open-source emulators. Since all computers are also Turing machines.

Not really:

- Just because some computational device is Turing-complete, that does not entail that it can perform the computations that you want in a practical manner. For example, my brain or even many biochemical mechanisms in my organism are Turing-complete. That does not mean that it is feasible for me to run some open-source emulator on them;

- In practice, modern computers are no longer Turing-complete in a strict sense. They come with opaque processors that can be commandeered by third parties to interrupt or interfere with computation that the users wishes to perform. Open-source software cannot solve that problem.

> Dystopian reasoning in the 2 parent comments is slippery-slope fallacy.

Arguing that a given bad situation is likely to get worse does not constitute, by itself, a slipper-slope fallacy. It that were the case, no argument that led one to conclude that something will become worse would be valid. This is obviously absurd.

In this case, there is strong empirical evidence that users are in fact losing control over their computational devices, when compared for example with the hardware commonly available in the 90s. This is objective fact. Conversely, you provide no counter-argument. Writing the scare word "dystopian" is not an argument.

Just out of curiosity - are the GPUs really the best bet for you at that point? I believe you can buy dedicated FPGA cards, some of which support OpenCL workloads even which might offer you better performance - though they might cost a shitpile too.
The paper I was thinking of is called: "InfoGAN: Interpretable Representation Learning by Information Maximizing Generative Adversarial Nets"[0]. I do not have experience training and investigating neural nets, but from what I read in that paper, there's no reason to presume you'll find neurons that represent a feature you're interested in. In the paper they alter the reward function to get neurons that correspond to the features they are interested in.

As opposed to what, exactly? "abstractions on abstractions" defines all of computing.

As said above, it's not a distinction, thus it's meaningless.
And the reason for the unmasking request from the article:

>@ALT_uscis is one of a string of accounts claiming to be operated by rogue government employees, formed in the wake of Donald Trump’s inauguration. It’s unclear whether any of the accounts are authentic — including @ALT_uscis — although many purport to offer an insider perspective. The Trump administration has responded aggressively to leaks in the past, including on-the-spot phone checks of White House staffers suspected of sharing information with the press.

Imagine George W. Bush has his stooges trying to undermine and overthrow Obama if you don't see why this would be problematic for current administration.

We can agree to disagree. As a two time founder, I had to go through a lot of discusssions with our legal and even my own to grasp the upsides and downsides of what Elizabeth did by trading risk against a lower future tax liability. My take is that you're confusing a normal cashless transaction versus a structured loan as an executive of the company to purchase stock today to hold for a long term horizon. The risks are very real and the liability is very real. I meant this to be a way to share some specialized knowledge I have on the subject to answer why she has an actual liability and why this isn't handed out to just any employee. This isn't coming from book knowledge, but real working knowledge of this arrangement. But at the end of the day, everyone is free to do their own research. :-)

As I mentioned in the post, the first… 5 Maven plugins I looked for all existed in about as good or better form in SBT-land.

Come to think of it, the dependency plugin in SBT, https://github.com/jrudolph/sbt-dependency-graph, seems to be missing some wildcard features that I used to like in maven-dependency-plugin. OTOH, it has some things that afaik don't exist in maven-dependency-plugin, like dot-graph output.
