I have to wonder if in some part what happened during the Bronze Age is destined to happen again? I can see the US here going belly up if someone was inclined to test the US resolve to defend the likes of Saudi Arabia (considering its contribution to the world oil markets is non-trivial and probably not easily replaced). What I'm getting at with that hypothetical situation is that we're probably too interconnected now just like we were in the Bronze Age and with sustained disruptions to vital resources I can imagine things getting bad in a hurry. I just wish more folks would take this possibility more seriously and build redundancy and independence where it can minimize the inevitable disruptions of the future.
I'm way more worried about memory issues while running. Atom take up 1 gig+ with very little open. It pushes all my other tools out of RAM and into swap. Switching to the browser to see documentation takes a few seconds if I'm lucky.

Compiling a few more seconds to page in. Ssh a few more. Everything on my laptop slows to a crawl as they fight for RAM with Atom taking up the way more than it should.

I know the answer, "buy more RAM it's cheap", from the Atom people, but then my browser people tell me the same thing. So do my interface people, and my kernel people, and by the time I say "okay" to all of them, I'm out of RAM again.

Application need to learn they aren't the only thing running. For some reason, my machine seems to be getting slower and slower no matter how much I upgrade.
On this topic... this is something I've wondered a bit about before (logical representations of 3d scenes -- interested as someone who comes from the robotics world, and curious how the people who did video games, VR, graphics tools, etc. thought about this stuff).

Obviously not the same use case, but I've tried looking before for good information on how scene graphs are structured and used, and haven't found much out there that was useful for a beginner who was interested in learning the details. If you have any resources or stuff you would be willing to share, or a well designed library that does it right (any language), I'd love to know about it!

Thanks!
The Holoportation video feels a lot less cringe worthy and cheesy to me. At least there's a lot more body language that's being captured, which feels more natural. Their example of being able to record real life in 3D, play it back, and walk around in the experience also seems more innovative. But of course it's much further away from being ready to use unlike Spaces.
Interesting how COBOL still stays relevant till this day. "They don't make 'em like they used to" is a cliche more commonly heard for hardware rather than of software.
Does Patreon work on a per view basis? I'd love to be charged per view of a video similar to an add, but I can add in value as I want to. It would be nice so that I don't have to pay one person more than I should and others nothing.

How is your clock inaccuracy in any way the responsibility of a service provider (Backblaze or other)? From certificate expiry to inaccurate logging, and so on, complaining about "what if my clock is wrong, I have to date math in my app!" is precisely "solving the wrong problem".

Well, if you can only include "interchangeable languages" then it's not an observation but a tautology.
> That being said, I still find it absurd that independent research from valid sources isn't allowed.

It's not allowed, among many reasons, because validity is a disputable fact, and outside research by jurors prevents the party that would be adversely affected by taking the source as valid from contesting the validity of the source in open court, defeating the entire purpose of having a public trial, a reviewable trial record, the right to counsel, and, well, the whole of legal process.
One thing I'm disappointed about... In the desktop version when you click and drag then let go, the camera will keep flying across the landscape without slowing down. Depending how fast you drag, it's possible to slowly and gracefully glide over the landscape in any direction you choose.

This is a cool feature that is no longer possible in this new "improved" Google Earth. The camera now comes to a dead stop.

I really hope they can add an option to bring back the "zero resistance" camera or whatever you call it. Or a flying camera mode or similar.

It means you can sit back and glide over a city slowly, just above the buildings or mountains without needing to interact. If you choose a nice slow speed, the approaching map data loads in time and you have yourself a nice aerial trip over the land.
I think the subjectivity of this kind of data ruins any value in statistical/scientific analysis.

For example, my beer taste developed while I lived in Michigan. The craft scene is more spread out there, but there is a ton of high quality IPAs, Stouts and Porters being brewed in the metro Detroit area.

Now I live in Austin, and the beer here is crap in those categories, but stronger in the Pilsners and Pale Ales. When people down here rate breweries, it is usually much more focused on those categories, thus putting Austin at #13, even though it is trash compared to a Dark Horse, or a Dragonmead, in the "harder to do right" categories. It's just that they don't know any better.

EDIT: But aside from that the presentation was nice, and well executed

Why do you consider it valuable to give people an application and make it harder to debug when it crashes or misbehaves?
The entire newspaper is not of value to me, and I read a newspaper worth of articles total, so I think it is fair to pay a newspaper's worth of subscription prices and have that revenue spread around to the business whose articles I read. Any subscription model can have a quantified limit to my access. Like I said, this isn't hard to think about or do.

There are movies that cost hundreds of millions to make which make up just one more item in the Netflix catalogue, and Hollywood is far from hurting. It may cost enormous amounts to produce good news, but this is true of the business model I am pointing out as well.
This!!! I believe originally the retirement age was set way above the average life expectancy. Some information I had was that when it was first setup life expectancy was 55 yrs while you could collect SS at 60 years. If that is really the case then SS has been a ponzi scheme of sorts for a while but now that people are living longer the time to payback is coming. Second, I think sometime in the 70's or 80's accounting changes were made so that the budget deficits could be "hidden" with SS money (i.e. it was no longer an exclusive trust).
It's easy to say wealth redistribution is a solution in search of a problem if you never lived in a city or town that's been slowly rotting away due to the negligence of the economic elites. I come from Wichita, Kansas and I can tell you that the last decade back home has been hell on everyone. I had to leave my home town for another state just to find work that wasn't just $12/hr (that's about as high as you can get without any college education back home) even for software development. You might think "oh but the standard of living in Kansas is cheap" for which I can prove that's not the case, especially for Wichita. In the long run, either the economic elites actually start investing in the consumers that made them wealthy or the consumers who can't pay for their services or goods will (not might) take their wealth from them by force.
It does seem a bit subjective.

The "weighted blend" of "ratings" might be more accurately portrayed as "Ratings" instead of "Quality."
Charm in this case is a large part of the draw for tourism to Bangkok. Regardless of that issue though, how are they going to feed everyone? When I was there the few restaurants that were in buildings had space for only a handful of people at a time and were all specialized in food that took much longer than the street vendors. Its not like bangkok has a lot of space in its buildings to suddenly allow for an influx of restaurants.
It's really interesting to see which attributes we consider to be a failing. Being drunk is considered much worse than being tired even at a similar level of effect.

The one that I really love is how being unintelligent is often considered to be a failing, but only to a point. When someone does something stupid and there's a bad consequence, it's often met with "that's what they deserve, what an idiot!" But there's a sharp cutoff (officially at an IQ of 69 or below) where it ceases to be a moral failing and becomes a handicap worthy of sympathy.

You're quite right that there's no unique normal to a 2-d plane in 4-d, and so it's meaningless to "rotate around the normal vector". That's why I tried to phrase the geometry in terms of planes instead of axes.

Here's an example that's easiest to sort-of-visualize:

1. Rotate the y-z plane of 4-d space by half a turn (180 degrees). That is, transform every point in 4-space according to w->w, x->x, y->-y, z->-z.

2. Rotate the w-x plane, also a half-turn. So w->-w, x->-x, y->y, z->z.

Composing these two transformations yields w->-w, x->-x, y->-y, z->-z. That composed transformation is an inversion, not a rotation. Is it clearer now? (It was late when I wrote last night, sorry. Let me try and rephrase how I defined a rotation: a linear transformation that carries one unit vector to a second unit vector, and leaves unchanged any vectors that are orthogonal to both. In my previous comment the plane I was talking about was the plane that contains both given vectors. Of course, the null rotation doesn't pick out any particular plane, though it's not otherwise special in these terms. IANAM, but would appreciate correction if I'm goofing.)

User name and password plus hardware token. Currently only U2F meets the requirements (supported in Chrome and Firefox with an extension) but soon enough Web Authentication [0] (successor of U2F) will be natively supported by all major browsers. The benefit of this approach is that you don't need complex passwords (4 digit pin will suffice) as the hardware token provides strong security.

For bearer tokens use secure, httponly cookies that have names starting with __Secure- [1]. Check Origin header to protect against CSRF. Optionally consider using token binding [2] so that cookies cannot be exported at all.

There is a part of the jury selection process where you are asked if there is any reason you think you cannot serve, and you're welcome to speak freely. Of course, it's up to the judge (and to a certain degree, the lawyers) as to whether you'll be released from service.

I was up for jury duty recently, and one of the potential jury members flat out said that she couldn't be unbiased in the trial, since she'd been assaulted by a black man not too long before, and the defendant in the case was black as well. The judge released her back to the jury pool.

I would assume that stating that you have PTSD (and having documentation to that effect) and explaining how it would prevent you from being able to serve would be a pretty good reason to not serve. (No idea about claiming alcoholism, and I'd wager that most people wouldn't want to announce to fifty people that they have a drinking problem.)

The last number I heard for here in San Diego was 140 breweries. Many of these won't meet the criteria for ratings, though.

If you are in town, go to 30th street in North Park and you can walk between something like 10 breweries / tasting rooms, not even including beer bars. It's ridiculous.

Also, Oceanside is closer to SD than many places that are in SD county. (Same could be argued for SF and Santa Rosa)

The ground wind speed at the time of eruption was below 5 m/s, i.e. the video plays much faster then real-time.

If you’ll download the video, pause it, skip between frames, you’ll notice different parts were shot from different positions and with different resolutions.

They probably abused the fact clouds move in very predictable manner. They took several satellite images from whatever satellites happen to pass roughly above the volcano, and used creative video editing to make a smooth video from those several frames.

> I'm way more worried about memory issues while running.

Same here. Start-up time is important when the average user is hitting a web app or application but for developers? We open something once and then keep it open pretty much all day.

Unless I'm an edge case I'd suspect start-up time is mostly meaningless to developers with long running developer tools.

At the same time we always have tons of tools open at once so we need as much memory as possible because once things hit the swap the performance degrades terribly.
On the other hand, my 3 year old R9 290X runs a heavily optimized OpenCL code at the 70% of the speed at which my brand new Nvidia 1080 runs the equivalent code. 1080 costs close to 1000 euro, while R9 could probably be found second hand for a hundred, while 480/580 is faster than 290X and costs 300 eur brand new.

I totally agree here. The whole point of having a jury picked from society is to ensure that the justice process passed some kind of "rrasonable person"test. American legislators and prosecutors are resembling cold blooded sociopaths each passing decade passing laws that destroy families and lives and stealing money from ordinary citizens (civil forfeiture). In such scenario I think Jury's role is very important.

Given that USA jails a hell lot of people (per capita) compared to any developed nation and large number of them are about drug offenses or victimless crimes I would rather have a linient jurors than harsh ones.
You're right. I should have stated it differently when saying Obama. I only glanced at it at first too. And most likely, the jump during 2000 - 2010 is most likely attributed to the economic recession. Which was during the Obama administration. Despite why the recession happened, it was decided to increase it anyway at a higher rate than the previous decade.

Although it seems that state and local governments increased their non-cash gov aid spending a lot too during that time. I'm not sure what the breakdown on that is. Is it money given to the states by the Federal government?
