It's a never ending source of confusion and bad translations. We (I'm from Panama) definitely consider ourselves "americanos" and the continent is for sure called América. It is clearly geographically a continent. Nobody in normal speech talks about "las Américas". So "American" is translated as "estadounidense" (United Statesian).
> manufacture empty packages

That's the crux. You don't buy mass-produced empty packages to put the parts in. Packaging happens by putting the IC die, pins and bonding wires which connect them together inside a mold and filling it with plastic.

It's probably cheaper and certainly lower-tech to replace markings on existing chip than produce a new one.
I think there are disadvantages from social networks in the long term as people isolate themselves and allow them to take the place of physical connections, which they don't. But that their advantages from bringing friends to each other is at the same time often without a doubt beneficial. A virtual connection is better than none at all, and I know I would not have the lasting friendships I would have had today if it were not for social networks.

I guess in a perfect world, people would understand the benefits but also fallacies and balance their use of these networks. That's the way I think we could get the most value out of them without exposing ourselves to their issues too much.
> I don't think that the law they passed implies that nothing else will be done to address the underlying causes of these issues. Suggesting it does is disingenuous.

Many politicians, especially in the mainstream, operate on a 'lowest possible effort' basis to pretend they're giving a damn about their electorate, which is why so many completely awful laws and trade deals get passed just by giving it a friendly-sounding name, all while pocketing a hefty 'extra payment' for their collaboration.

I'll be more surprised to find out that something concrete was done about the cause of extremism in Europe than to find out that there was a ridiculously large network of bribed politicians involved in passing this law.
I realised I will never know all there is to know therefore imposter syndrome is not a useful vehicle. Like you I try and grow a little each day. What I don't know that I need to know I either learn, or if that is impractical, I delegate (and learn through proxy). HN and all the posturing, such as the "I reverse engineered Google/Facebook in 15 seconds during my lunch break" posts, are not the real world. While I am a proponent of small highly productive teams I know that the best work always happens through collaboration and diversity. Imposter syndrome is bound in hyper-reality so I decided to ignore it.

You're right in the sense that there is no fundamental difference between character and string type in R. A "string" is just a character variable which contains more than one letter.

variable_name <- "This is a string"

# These all tell you the class type
str(variable_name)
class(variable_name)
typeof(variable_name)

# Is variable character type? Boolean TRUE/FALSE
is.character(variable_name)

# This tells you the number of characters. > 1 is a string.
nchar(variable_name)

# With vector this time
variable_char_vector <- c("String A", "String B")

# How long?
length(variable_char_vector)

# What types?
str(variable_char_vector)

# Are they strings?
nchar(variable_char_vector)

I'm not an expert in a wide range of programming languages, but this doesn't seem to be a major shortcoming in R.
Rolling shutter might sound very bad, but has some nice side effect properties. Latency between light hitting the sensor and readout is minimized (divided by rolling shutter readout block size/row) compared to global shutter. This means your 1080p 60Hz camera can have 64KHz time resolution.

Cool research into RS effects: "Direct Semi-dense SLAM for Rolling Shutter Cameras". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLD1eeu1EUI https://github.com/jaehak/rrd_slam

This only tries to reverse adverse effect of RS (at best as good as global shutter), but in theory it would be possible to exploit RS effect to boost accuracy above GS.

Afaik Jeri Ellsworth CastAR (shutdown, because Rubin invested only to sell to google, and that didnt happen) IR tracker took advantage of cheap cellphone camera rolling shutter to boost both spatial and temporal tracking resolution.
I'm not exactly sure, but i think of the EU countries. Flanders in Belgium would be a better place to start then France.

All developers/people speak: French, English and Dutch.

The only thing is, the taxes are very high. But on the other hand, the health care is awesome and cheap. Flemish people are also known to be hard workers

Anekdote: I'm Flemish, but this is what polls/research of EU-countries also conclude.

The things you hear in the news, is mostly when the Southern part of Belgium is involved ( strikes, political crisis, Brussels-Molenbeek). Due to differences between North and South Belgium ( south = very socialist and even communism since recently, where north is more liberal)

I actually believe the northern part of Belgium has more in common with the Netherlands, than the southern part..

PS. I'll probably be downvoted, but please add your opinion. I know it's very controversial. That doesn't mean i'm wrong. If you think i'm wrong, i'm open for alternative opinions as always.

The cognitive tech behind Alibaba's real-time search: Flink in e-commerce
I've seen this a few times before, and it led me to believe that I was stupid. Comments like "...business rules simply don’t know anything at all about the outside world" left me wondering what components that DO know something about the outside world, actually know about the outside world?

Turns out that the answer is a data access component might know where to find a database, and a client app might know where to find a web service. These things were rather obvious to me, so I failed by trying to find loftier answers. Which probably says a lot of about how I think.

Also, the concentric circles did nothing for my way of thinking, as messages are linear - they start from a place, and they end in a place. Thus a stack was a lot easier for me to digest than these concentric circles.

And finally, the ambiguous language. Why should I care that there are enterprise business rules, and application business rules? They're both rules. Rules go into a component in the middle, or business layer.

And thus I found it a lot more useful to think of app design in terms of vertical tiers (hardware abstractions), and layers (software abstractions). Tiers include perimeter, DMZ and corpnet, and layers include (but not limited to) user interface, façade/service gateway, business layer, and data layer. With some cross-cutting concerns like comms, security and operational management (logging, exceptions and so on).

I don't think either is better than the other. It was, however, the first time I really understood that two people can be very knowledgeable about the same thing, and yet speak using a completely different vocabulary.
Correct. It would be irresponsible to remove it now.
While it does 'just work' (i.e. the best product currently in the space) it's more a factor of how much better it is than its competitors, and how much the price premium is.

Superficial validation on things like form fields still occurs up in the UI layer before a Use Case is invoked. Additional validation is likely to happen in the Use Case as well. It's a ubiquitous thing so just like in any other app it should be happening at a few different points but the stuff validated in the Use Case is going to be related to the business rules it's trying to execute.

I tried typing functional programming library Ramda using TS, and got frustrated it still had some limitations (e.g. needing overload codegen in lieu of variadic support).

I tried finding what TS can do now, and figured out type-level tuple iteration, among a few others. The current roadblock seems to be getting function return types. Progress, for anyone interested:
https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/16392

At this point I'm amazed how close we are to typing anything, despite having only 5 (!) type-level operators, with their respective warts.
> it gives them a stage on which to present their bullshit and manipulate people a lot easier.

My question is, if it can be shown as bullshit, I mean, if you are 100% confident that it is bullshit, what is there to loose?

> manipulate people a lot easier.

So they are manipulating people, but not the "others" (pro-vaxxers, climent-change proponets etc). Why not give both sides an opportunity to manipulate people? I mean, if something is clearly bullshit, it should cause no harm, right?
Thanks then.

Eye-tracking – How to SEE exactly what your users SEE

ProtonMail's mission is to keep your emails secure and they are relentlessly working to enforce and evolve this goal.

Giving the history of the team, coming from CERN and highly educated in MIT, Harvard and Stanford, I would not bet for a better company in the encryption space to survive better than them.

I don't understand your point related the pricing table. They are 100% community backed, started from a crowdfunding and they are surviving in an industry where email is considered free due to the other players in the market making profits with ads and data exploitation. It's normal for PM to limit the free account because it's based on a freemium model. The limitations, however, do not affect your experience and they offer you the same quality of security as the paid accounts.

Which in my opinion is pretty sweet. You should just check it out and see how it "feels" :) I pay for it but this is my choice because I support the mission and I want them to succeed.

Cheers,
Looking busy can sometimes be a defense mechanism for protecting your own space and peace of mind. When your cow-orkers, friends and family see you Very Busy, they'll be less likely to interrupt you all the time with irrelevant bullshit.

In fact, this works extremely well, because people usually respect the fact that someone is working. On the other hand, when they see you not working, they think it gives them the right to acquire your time.

Sure, a socially savvy person could probably handle all of this by simply talking to others and asserting the boundaries. But for the rest of us, this simple trick of looking busy can help reduce the amount of human interaction to a remotely healthy level (and for many people, myself included, even the act of assertive rejection is hugely mentally taxing).

This is exactly why some people look busy - to make time and space for thinking by projecting a "I'm busy - don't interrupt me" shield around themselves. I know I'm guilty of doing that quite a lot - some people are focus magnets, i.e. they have a supernatural skill of sensing when you're trying to think, so that they can come and interrupt you with bullshit requests.
While one of Dropbox's strengths is its simplicity, one thing that I think is currently keeping many enterprise customers away is detailed configurability – currently you only have manual folder-level control over what to sync. However, a very common use case is to autosync everything except certain types of files (certificates, keystores etc). They would probably see some quick adoptions if they covered detailed configuration and enterprise-level management in a good manner.

So I think they would be, but yeah, I can only really speak for myself. I have rolled back through my memory, and I have had drinks with women alone before, though not much, but probably as many times as I've had drinks with guys alone before.

I just asked my SO and she is OK with it, and thinks people here (we live in London now) would think similarly.

> I think jealousy and insecurity are pretty common among humans of all countries.

So right, this is interesting! To be clear: if my SO went out for drinks with a guy from work I probably would be jealous and insecure about it, at least a little bit. But that's my failing, not hers, and is for me to get over. It's not fair for me to stop her from chilling out with a friend just because said friend is a dude.

So maybe that's the main difference?

I found myself unable to focus on thinking in the office, when there are other people present. I learned to compensate for that by doing my thinking in writing - I just start dumping my thoughts and talking to myself through my text editor. It feels a bit slower, but it does wonders for concentration and for short-term memory.

That is easily worked around as Dropbox follows symlinks.

You have an excellent point there, but the costs are unfortunately way too high to be feasible, not even remotely.

And you have to consider how - in places where there is snow - you have to choose to either forfeit the (possibly little) energy the panels can produce in winter or anyway clean them from the snow anyway.

The good ol' rule of the thumb is that (of course it depends on the country) the cost is 10,000,000 Euro's per km of highway (plain, mainly earthworks), 20,000,000 per km on bridges/viaducts, 30,000,000 per km in tunnels. (the "base" price may of course vary, but the relative proportions remain roughly valid)

An artifical tunnel or sbow shed, besides the solar panels, would be probably 1.5 to 1.7 times the cost of the "simple" highway.

Your comment is so ironic. You complain about conservatives wanting to "shut up" the media. And yet here you are advocating shutting up conservative ideas about creation in school. How hypocritical.

As for science, macro evolutionary theory isn't even science. The scientific method requires testing and 200 years isn't long enough to verify something that takes tens of thousands of years to occur.

Secondly, the fossil record shows all kinds of stuff that just doesn't jive with evolution. Darwin said if he was right the ground would be full of innumerable transitional fossils. But what we find is that as soon as something appears in the fossil record, it stays very similar. The Cambrian explosion is another thing that just doesn't make sense evolutionary speaking.

And all this is made worse by the fact that somehow evolution spent billions of years unable to move past unicellular organisms, and yet was able to jump from a monkey to a human in 10k years? Monkeys have the intelligence according to tests of a 2 and 1/2 years old. The difference is astonishing and yet supposedly happened in an exceedingly short period of time, when life couldn't get out of the bacteria stage for a billion years?

There are a lot of holes in evolutionary theory. What is unscientific, and all to common among liberals is ignoring those who point out inconvenient facts

Well. Some ppl (like me) don't require their chips to have been designed by (white) men from the 50's or to have been mass produced in a developing country by a rich (white) man's company. I am pretty happy to see the rise of the chinese chip industry and look forward to more. Who knows someday they may even improve upon the west's technology. After all technology is like music: Repetition with variation. And, btw. in reply to some spooky comments... I wouldn't be surprised if the NSA has infected far more chips.
