I don't see the quandary. The US spends trillions (or something) on military R&D. There's nothing special about military R&D per se that make it produce better and greater technology than other reasons to do research. In fact, because of the particular focus, it probably produces quite a bit of technology that doesn't even have any non-terrible use, even if you're really creative about it.

It's a numbers game. If you throw more spaghetti at some particular wall than anybody else or any other wall, then obviously that's where most of it will stick ...

It's mostly that humans are real easy to convince to hate and want to kill eachother, as long as the numbers are large enough you can forget they're individuals. So obviously the other dominant lifeforms on this planet (super-organisms, in this case multinational corporations) exploit this loophole for control and power.
Do you really think Unity has great 2D tools? I tried it multiple times over the last couple years and always found it felt bloated and exactly like a 2D toolset bolted onto a framework really meant for 3D, instead of like a proper 2D-native engine and IDE.
I read (a long time ago) that Android Snapchat takes a screenshot of the image on the screen projected by the camera, while the iOS Snapchat actually uses the image produced from the camera.
But you also want the lowest price?

Multiple sellers compete on a product page to sell you the product by being the seller in the "buy "box"--the seller with the lowest price.

The alternative solution would be to only allow the product owner or licensed seller to sell the product, but that would require a LOT of manual labor for verification. But they will do this for big, important brands.
The Post-MVC Age
Europa doesn't have an atmosphere and it's laying at the bottom of a pretty steep gravity well, over 10 km/s from Jupiter intercept to the surface. Earth to Mars or vice versa microbial transport is pretty credible and you might even have a dormant cell from elsewhere falling down to Europa in a meteor. But I'm not sure I'd swallow any cell surviving Europa lithobraking.

Can you transition to db-engine-developer ? Being on the low-level it should be easier.

Example: http://www.scylladb.com/company/careers/#software-developer (they like kernel hacker more, but who doesn't)

You can build new features in c++, everything has to be fast/low-level, networking, use Lua to create coprocessors etc.

Why not apply/interview with them ?

8 Principles for Building a Competitive Core Business
Unity is fake 2D (locked orthographic 3D), and while it works for plenty of people there are plenty of reports of the tools being very difficult to use.

Godot has always been first and foremost a 2D focused engine, with 3D available if you want it. It's also far smaller and completely free (MIT) so you can make any changes you want at any level.
I've been taught to keep these out of production code. If your code fails in a way that gets you in a lawsuit you won't want to be explaining what that "TODO: looks like a xxx here" means to the judge.
That's interesting !

I'm intending to make a move with my family in near future, and we actually went to visit the northern island for 15 days last month.
The country is really beautiful, and there are not a lot of people around, so you can't help but feel blessed by the surrounding nature. The people are great, probably the nicest I've ever seen (as a whole).

I've noted some cons though (not blocking for us thankfully):

- housing prices are extremely high. I don't understand that, there is plenty of space everywhere (maybe except Wellington) and somehow they manage to not use this advantage...

- housing quality is really poor (comparing to Europe)

- prices are generally quite high

- internet connectivity feels like we're 10 years back

- outside of Wellington and Auckland, I didn't feel like there were any interesting opportunities in IT (that's a subjective and based on a very limited evidence from discussions with local / personal observations)

- food quality is good, but eating habits don't seem to follow. Obesity seems to be a huge problem there (we have kids so will need to pay double attention to that). We were pretty much shocked because we naively thought that in such a beautiful and clean country everybody is running / biking all the time.

Would be very happy to hear stories that made the move ! Also very interested to hear about opportunities / work environment there in IT (even better if it's ML related).
The problem is self driving cars need to work with Garbage when their sensor is covered by slush from a puddle, scratches on the glass etc etc. The problem is we are not training them on Garbage which is it's own problem.

Scoring is also critical, you want to gracefully degrade classification systems not getting the correct dog breed is insignificant vs calling a dog a sofa. Further, people base real world classification on stereoscopic video footage. Training robots to classify photos is a handicap for building robots to operate in the real world.
What an incredibly arrogant introverted opinion.
Being introverted isn't a super power, and I've met quite a few introverted workers who produced sub-par work because they didn't like to actually talk to the clients or their manager before the fire started.
I'm an expat kiwi would would have loved to move back from the US over the past few years, but unfortunately it suffers from a similar problem to the San Fran/SV scene here. Most tech employers are in Auckland, and the housing prices are insane. Remote work isn't embraced even a tenth of what it could or should be. I love it there, but for the kind of environment I'd need (affordable family home + strong job propsects) we've just been priced out in our time away.
A Universe Explodes
Come on man, I know. But, many of these guys started as game-players at a young age (I learned programming to make games, and saw that it was more fun compared to creating, actually transitioned to easier webdev programming). If we could incentivise them somehow at a young age, maybe even just provide more options.
How would you fix it?
Yeah - so far I haven't seen anyone else point this out:

* Automated driving permits you to nap, read, etc. while traveling in a car

* Coordinated automated driving permits much greater throughput on the roads with high speeds and smaller following distances

* Land farther from cities is cheap compared to land close

* Electric vehicles are much, much cheaper than petroleum-powered ones on a per-mile basis

I worry that everyone will want to live on a 3 acre estate on nice cheap land 100 miles from the city. After all, why not? Transportation is nearly free and you can kick back and nap for the 45 minute drive in to work (at an average 133 ish mph).

100 years from now, if humanity is somehow still around, I suspect California will be a gigantic skidpad with one giant metropolis that sprawls for ten times the distance they do now. Why not commute from San Luis Obispo to Los Angeles every day? Or Yosemite to San Francisco? I mean, some people already do Stockton to SF (hellishly) and that's half the distance right there. For that matter, back in college I dated a girl and drove from San Jose to LA every other weekend. I'd wake up at 4:30 AM in LA and be in work by 11 or so, traffic permitting. If I could've slept in the car and made the drive half as long I would've done it a couple times a week.

Has anyone else explored this idea?
I have an oldish but fairly beefy Vostro that does in a pinch, keeping things synchronised isn't that hard in practice since the vagrant files and project files all live in git but yeah there is some overhead but I have that anyway since I have a desktop at the office and at home.

I think the author misquoted United's email; I was kind of baffled by this first statement:

>As you will read, the situation was unfortunately compounded when one of the passengers was politely asked to deplane refused and it became necessary to contact Chicago Aviation Officers to help.

The email actually read, "one of the passengers -we- politely asked..."

But that's kind of the problem, isn't it? That the style indignantly defends itself as polite when it's really a big, "fuck you?"

I think we throw protein-folding onto young game-developers somehow.
A lot of ex-gamedev(I'm one of them) go into embedded devices and mobile where power/perf still matters or over into financial(more common in eu gamedev) where latency is king.

That's the route I took(gamedev->embedded/mobile->bigco), I'd look into those type of companies where a low level native skillset matters.
The lack of techtonics on the Moon is a consequence of the Moon having cooled down throughout so it doesn't have a molten core anymore. With Europa we can actually observe plate techtonics in the continent sized ice sheets covering its surface and due to the evidence of activity we can infer that there must still be enough heat generated inside to keep things moving. Either the decay of radioisotopes inside or tidal flexing causing heat.

Regarding acidity, life has to have some source of energy to get going and that's probably going to have to be a source of reactive chemicals.
Although REI also eliminated their lifetime guarantee.

It's apparently really hard for this type of store to scale and stay at least somewhat aligned with their initial vision. They almost all become clothing and gear stores oriented to well-off urbanites who want to project an outdoorsy vibe. I agree that, among relatively large chains, REI has stayed closer to its roots than most.
A whole lot of factors involving LA's history. The first one is earthquakes. We have a lot of good technology now, that lets us build tall and beautiful structures in earthquake zones, But 100 years ago, that was not the case. Los Angeles sprawled out because it had to, and people built featurelessly because you don't invest so much in something when an earthquake will destroy it at any minute.

The second factor was tuberculosis. In the early 20th century, people moved to LA for the air (no, really.) In very large numbers. And given they were moving to a place where the air would extend their lives and let them live in a more dignified manner, they weren't too picky about esthetics.

A third factor was a very unfortunate thing about American tax policy. Municipalities fund themselves by taxing property value. And that gave people an incentive not to build up too much property value. That got particularly pronounced in the Depressions of 1893 and the Great Depression in the 1930s, when people and businesses would literally shave floors off a building to save on property tax. To this day, American franchise corporations build their stores to be crappy things that fall down as soon as maintenance halts, because building more valuable real estate means paying more in tax.

All these factors converged to make Los Angeles look like that.

If such a place actually pays that much, sure - but at that point, I'm making well over 6 figures. Most jobs in Indiana were paying less than 100k and still requiring 60-80 hour workweeks.

...IF they would just look up from their phones. Humorous photo. Illustrates something though, which is that the more you "court" people from the USA (presumably on the basis that your country is so different from and far from the USA) the more your country starts to resemble the USA.
"The division of the society in capitalist and working class is a well studied topic"

Yes, studied and defined by those who later created a big slavesystem. And I read them, but don't like or agree to their definitions, nor alternatives.

And by the way, " rich and poor is a consequence and not the cause." I think not.
So ?

And I also think that creating arbitary classes is not helping the (old) discussion or society at all and rather increases tensions, than solving them. I think history proves me right.
Nice work. I've played the Bulgarian games before but I always forget the rules for the last 2. Generally speaking for an international audience I'd suggest defaulting to standard international rules. This is basically the same as your "General" except you'll need to add a doubling cube and a few other little things (ie Jacoby rule). The game is really incomplete without the cube.

For a truly multiplayer experience, you can implement chouette rules. This is the most common way to play casually in bars/clubs (at least in North America), and is IMO pretty much the most fun you can possibly have at a board game. :)

To solve the problem of waiting around for an opponent, you can hook up an AI such as GNU BG. Backgammon has a long tradition of AI development going back at least to Hans Berliner’s BKG program in the 70s.

I have read about this before, but it still sounds totally crazy to me. There have been plenty of inefficient and corrupt governments which still have managed to impose police states. To me it seems like a cult of personality for the leader is a greater threat to your liberty than efficient bureaucracy.
you can also set it up to restore from your usual backup system (WAL-E, pghoard, barman, pgBackrest)

To all the people disagreeing with you, I totally believe that getting paid a lot more works for some people (like me).

The idea behind a burnout is simple, when you feel that your work isn't worth much, you feel burned out. To most people there is an active denial of the fact that they do not want to a certain job for $100k, but are doing it because they have a family to take care of and an old person to take care of after retirement.

They get frustrated because they don't have the appreciation of their job as a software developer, a project manager, an accountant, a baseball player or whatever, as 'valuable work'.

This means that if they were getting paid more for the same job they don't value, then it won't really make them feel better (except if that higher pay allows them to do less work in the same time).

On the other hand, for someone like me, I like what I do as a developer, but sometimes I'm stuck in a job which is awful by the nature of the company I work in, or in other cases just underpaid (both have happened to me, came really close to getting burned out).
Yeah devops, web server admin, automation and problems developers don't want to or don't have access to deal with.

Seems like people have a lot of experience going into that field. Most of my hobby stuff isn't that interesting. I did write a mostly working chip8 emulator lol. Thanks for the info
When the telecoms wanted Congress to lift that pesky ISP consumer information protection, they argued that the regulations allowed Google to get ahead while they were left in the dust. Will educational companies lobby for the same kind of freedom?
There's a much simpler, technical explanation: the transition from linear power supplies to switch mode power supplies, in devices of all sorts including but not limited to computers. The timing of the peak and beginning decline in per capita power demand coincides with the point at which SMPS's became a practical option for new designs beginning at the end of the 1970's. The decline since then may just be the result of gradual replacement of linear supplies by attrition.
That would be nifty. Though a radical departure from the status quo. Not to say it couldn't be done.

Currently DRAM is designed to fetch large pages at a time which are cached in the CPU. Cache is highly beneficial to latency when there is good memory locality in the program being run.
I've started a project to do embedded software updates, leveraging existing open source projects. It currently supports one platform (the RedBear Duo) and I'm looking for feedback about additional platforms I should support. The first platform uses Bluetooth BLE for transport but could work with other transports as well. See https://trellis-logic.github.io/sdu/

There's also massive sales tax fraud that is at least tolerated by Amazon. I 'm pretty sure there are some (silent) investigations of this in Germany. Basically container, usually from China->Amazon warehouse; fulfilled by Amazon; sales tax never applied. To make matters worse these sellers have crowded out people that pay the sales tax in many categories because it's usually stuff that is 90% bought on price and well there's an automatic discount of 15%. I vaguely remember a report on TV of some small stores being slowly bled to death because their margins are below the sales tax percentage and the competition often just passes on 90% of the tax "savings" to dominate categories on price.

Iirc. Britain has made some sort of deal or passed some sort of law to control this explicitly.

I'm still not sold on using ALBs for Ingress resources. ALB is clearly superior to ELB when using them for the same things, but it seems like ALB costs will soar when using ALBs as Ingress controllers since they increased the rule limit and subsequently started charging on them. Still, the alternative of having four layers for every route seems nearly as undesirable. I really don't want ALB -> nginx -> kube-proxy -> container.

As I type this, I'm waiting for a process that could have a parallelism of about 9,000 threads but it's running on a mere 12-core machine (compiling a large C++ project). Bring on the "20 or 100 CPUs" for my next computer please. Though, as mentioned elsewhere, this is also likely to hit memory bandwidth limits for affordable systems, not to mention total memory usage limits given that more than a few of those 9,000 compiles peak at >1GB RSS.
