The article mentions that the primary advantage of this approach is that it provides the long distance coverage necessary to handle highway speeds. It also states that, because of the device design, you'd need 4, one at each corner.

It seems to me that you don't need 200m coverage to the rear, and maybe the rear of the vehicle could be handled by a less expensive 360-degree lidar unit?

As someone who ends up using other people's code more than fixing other people's code, I try to be sensitive to the issue.

For example, I recently started using someone else's code for a project, largely unchanged. However, I have run into issues. I normally just file these issues under my own github fork, rather than the upstream. If I really can't figure something out, I may choose to file an issue with the upstream, but otherwise I'm trying to only send pull requests instead.
I think we can do everything now for the majors OSes, but I'd guess this is a 50-100 man-month work for VLC.
> you mean when you say that "sometimes deceptive conversions are the problem,

I mean conversions where the index for conversion is chosen deceptively. The general inflation index is almost always at least tolerable, but occasionally the conversions use some other price index that produces more dramatic and politically desired results.
Clearly its the low-level code that VLC calls is a problem, you can rewrite VLC but other apps will happily run it again and again.

I like this definition: "There are two types of ethically invalid land titles: "feudalism," in which there is continuing aggression by titleholders of land against peasants engaged in transforming the soil; and land-engrossing, where arbitrary claims to virgin land are used to keep first-transformers out of that land. We may call both of these aggressions "land monopoly"—not in the sense that some one person or group owns all the land in society, but in the sense that arbitrary privileges to land ownership are asserted in both cases, clashing with the libertarian rule of non-ownership of land except by actual transformers, their heirs, and their assigns." — Murray N.

I don't understand why sandboxing the userland is not a thing on the linux desktop at least. When you sanely configure a un*x server you generally at least create a user per application. The web server runs as www, the database with its own user, the ssh process runs as the logged-in user (the daemon runs as root obviously, but only for just as long as it needs before forking a less priviledged child) etc...

But when it comes to the desktop everything runs at $user and that's the end of it. While this makes sense for multi user "mainframe"-style systems, for modern desktops it's an anti-pattern almost. I wish I could run my browser as its own user, my password manager as an other, my code editor/toolchain in an other, the closed source spotify client in a third etc...

It's kind of doable today but it's not exactly friendly to setup. In particular Xorg is not exactly designed with client isolation in mind as far as I can tell, preventing one window from overtaking an other without being too cumbersome is left as as exercise to the reader.

But really, at the OS level I feel like we already have all the functionality we need and we just completely ignore it. On a desktop the critical account isn't really root per se, rather it's the user account that contains all of my data.

Maybe we've just been doing it wrong the entire time and we should just log into our single-user desktop computers as root and then spawn our shells and other applications as various unpriviledged users as necessary (this could easily be scripted in launcher scripts). I wonder if anybody has attempted to do that, but again I don't expect that Xorg would work very well in this configuration.
This is the best response.
Did you read the article?

1. The author starts out by relating how the standard story about the tulip crash may be a myth.

2. The author does not think that the above myth is a good analogy for cryptocurrencies. I'm going to go ahead and paste the closing paragraphs here:

The problem, of course, is that while blockchain applications make sense in theory, the road to them becoming a reality is still a long one. That is why I suspect the better analogy for blockchain-based applications and their associated cryptocurrencies is not tulips but rather the Internet itself, specifically the 1990s. Marc Andreessen is fond of observing, most recently on this excellent podcast with Barry Ritholtz, that all of the dot-com failures turned out to be viable businesses: they were just 15 years too early (the most recent example: Chewy.com, the spiritual heir of famed dot-com bust Pets.com, acquired earlier this year for $3.35 billion).

As the aphorism goes, being early (or late) is no different than being wrong, and that’s true in a financial sense. As I noted above, I would not be surprised if the ongoing run-up in cryptocurrency prices proves to be, well, a bubble. However, bubbles of irrationality and bubbles of timing are fundamentally different: one is based on something real (the latter), and one is not. That is to say, one is a myth, and one is merely a fable — and myths can lift an entire species.
Yes, I am looking for technical suggestions(language, server, architecture etc.) to build a solid platform based on our requirement.
It's not an attack. Each platform's methods of GPU IPC are pretty sparsely documented. Two months ago I wouldn't have known about them; I only learned by working on integrating Chromium's sandbox into an application that needed to work with the GPU within a sandboxed process.

That doesn't change the fact that none of the things you listed are unsupported by Chrome's sandbox model, and if you only need to establish a barrier around the video pipeline (and not e.g. VLC's ability to notice device status or interact with webcams) you don't even need 3/4 of what Chromium's sandbox has implemented. Like I said, I've actually walked the walk when it comes to using their sandbox for Windows and Linux with a process that needed to access certain user files, the GPU, and even each platform's font server equivalent, so this isn't me just spitballing about some theoretical solution.
Perhaps the most difficult problem is to find a subtitle in multiple languages.

High voltage for tomorrow's particle accelerator
My kindergarten in Russia served us omelettes, once. Awful, horrendous omelettes. And they made me sit there until I finished it, or until the school day was over.

I sat there until the school day was over.

To this very day, despite having had some tasty ones, I still have an aversion to omelettes. Even the name makes me recall the gross taste.

So, that's some light trauma, I guess. But it's just a shitty-tasting omelette, same as a shitty-tasting dog biscuit. It's not fucking child abuse.

You could do something like this

Conversations -> Biboumi --
\
irssi -> znc -> IRC

But it has a few gotchas (like when znc “force-join” a channel, that can’t be done with XMPP, so biboumi will send you an invite instead, that’s confusing), and it quickly gets complicated to manage. You could try that, but you might encounter a few usage issues.

And no, it doesn’t do an IRC->IRC bouncer, so you can’t replace your znc entirely if you still want to use a real IRC client on your desktop.

I think the best solution is to have two independent biboumi and znc.
Given the title, it seems that this should rather link to the framework itself (https://github.com/picoe/Eto).

Your thoughts are much appreciated.
The basic argument of this article seems to be that the real benefit of cryptocurrencies, other than their speculative value, is that they provide a way of enforcing artificial scarcity in the digital realm, where scarcity does not come naturally.

As someone dedicated to eliminating scarcity in the material world, (a la Bookchin's /Post-Scarcity Anarchism/, compare Doctorow's /Walkaway/), this argument does not sit well with me.

There are two open plots of land on both sides of my house and its filled with garbage from neighbours using it as open air trashcan. I've knocked at the door of every single neighbour's apartment and told them about it but to no avail. Now we live between two giant trash bins filled with garbage. To make the matters worse some enterprising urban pig farmers are using it to feed their pigs, they let them out in the garbage and come pick them up at night.

It's quite embarrassing to explain random pig squeals on conference calls with US colleagues. I hate India so much. I love India so much.

Where in the stack did you spend your time before you became a manager?
> If you always dress casually then you never dress casually.

From my days wearing suits every work day. "If you always dress formal you never dress formal". It ruined the experience of dressing up for me.
What is it about a suit that is inherently professional, independent of social norms? There are objective ways to perform your job better, and there are cultural gestures that convey respect and dignity, and both fall under the umbrella of what we call "professionalism". A suit has been one of those gestures at some times in some cultures / industries. But to insist that it's professional independent of culture and industry is like someone coming into my home and insisting one taking their shoes off because in some places that's a sign of respect. Even if I just told them I prefer they leave their shoes on because I don't want to talk to a professional who just removed the shoes they've been working in all day. See how much it would miss the point of a respectful gesture if they insisted on a gesture that is respectful elsewhere? In many tech offices that have a casual dress code, wearing a suit when you're not meeting with a customer for whom that's the norm or something would actually be seen as a disrespectful gesture to your peers, as though you're disingenuously trying to impress someone. So what makes it professional?
That's a great article. Scott Alexander is always worth a read.

I especially love this bit:

> Two experimenters in the same laboratory, using the same apparatus, having no contact with the subjects except to introduce themselves and flip a few switches – and whether one or the other was there that day completely altered the result. For a good time, watch the gymnastics they have to do to in the paper to make this sound sufficiently sensical to even get published. This is the only journal article I’ve ever read where, in the part of the Discussion section where you’re supposed to propose possible reasons for your findings, both authors suggest maybe their co-author hacked into the computer and altered the results.

Border guards have the power to prevent you from entering the country if they believe your business is unlawful, and asking those questions is one of the ways they decide.

That's nice when possible, but of course when something breaks you never know if it will be one hour or 30, and even then, I think there are a lot of cases where "let the developer know there's an issue" is still worth it, especially if the alternative is "drop it and say nothing because it's too much of a hassle."

I don't dispute that fact. The Muslims in Bosnia are moderate in nature. It's traditional. Ottoman empire was against the type of Islam like the one that originated in Saudi Arabia. I don't dispute the fact that WMD was a stunt of the crony capitalism of Cheney and his friends. But those Muslims in Syria, 'moderate' rebels, were victims of Assad family for decades. It's bound to happen, sooner or later, for people to rebel, when victimized. One doesn't need to study history to recognize this basic truth.

The most (only?) reliable way to get a raise in this industry is to change jobs (or make noise about doing so). Most young companies don't provide a path forward for employees, which is somewhat understandable, b/c most young companies don't have a clue what their own path forward is. But without companies making an effort at solving this, they have pretty much guaranteed they will have very poor retention.

For future, for the rest of us, I'm wondering what civil disobedience would look like. Something akin to malicious compliance, work to rule, or...? Actions (or inactions) that we can take to make the whole process infeasible.

For example... Whenever a telemarketer cold calls me, I try to take up as much of their time as possible. Increase their costs, reduce their conversion rate.

I also try to lie as much as possible for forms, surveys, etc. Muddy the data. Increase their costs.

Wouldn't go that far from reading a single commit, but to anyone looking to pick up tips from a well-known respected C codebase: don't ever write

(*(psz_text + 1 ) ) == '~'

when you can instead write

psz_text[1] == '~'

Fewer tokens means less overhead for the human reader, and that asterisk-and-add pattern is exactly what the bracket array indexing operator does, so why not use it? This is one of my many C pet peeves, heh.

Also on a more personal note, if you're going to be putting things inside parentheses with whitespace, make it symmetrical.
