I learned OpenCV using the O'Reilly book by Bradski and Kaehler (back when it was OpenCV 2). I found it well-structured and it worked for me. They have an updated version for OpenCV 3.

However, I can't tell you if OpenCV is still the framework of choice and/or widely used in the field you want to go into.

If you want to get that level of pedantic with films as the article does, then few will survive. 'Suspension of disbelief' is a thing for a reason; a movie maker is after immersion, not strict accuracy. It only needs to be historically accurate if they're claiming to be some sort of documentary.

Alcohol has a social function that goes far beyond drunkenness itself. It's used as a bonding tool or as a way to establish trust (In vino veritas?) and determines how a large portion of recreational time is spent. It can signal cultural identities and social class, and so can the absence of drink. For instance, some religions forbid inebriation and some countries and classes have an extensively developed interest in specific forms of alcohol. Lastly, there is a complex moral aspect to consumption that can leave drinkers in a hostile mood if confronted by someone who doesn't drink, even if that person had the best intentions. This is especially true if you add your prediction that you will never drink in the future.

I'm sure I'm overlooking a few things but if you put this all together it's unsurprising that you encountered negative appraisals of your own lifestyle and that this study was met with doubt.

> In the new study, published online January 15 in the journal Translational Psychiatry, the scientists investigated whether this process is responsible for the antidepressant effects of sleep deprivation. Mice with depressivelike symptoms were administered three doses of a compound that triggers adenosine receptors, thus mimicking sleep deprivation. Although the mice continued to sleep normally, after 12 hours they showed a rapid improvement in mood and behavior, which lasted for 48 hours.

> The results confirm that the adenosine buildup is responsible for the antidepressant effects of a lack of sleep. This finding points to a promising target for new drug development because it suggests that mimicking sleep deprivation chemically may offer the antidepressant benefits without the unwanted side effects of actually skipping sleep. Such an intervention could offer immediate relief from depression, in stark contrast with traditional antidepressants, which take six to eight weeks to kick in.

Curious if it'll be mimicked somehow in the form of drugs in the future.

As a specific example: at a place which only does burritos, they batch up a big pot of rice, a big pot of beans, lots of lettuce, big pots of various different meats, and so on. Then it takes you about a minute from walking in to paying, as they just semi-toast a wrap and then fill it with all the pre-made ingredients. The ingredient preparation can be done in parallel with service, too.

A lot of people wonder why anyone could vote for Brexit. This is exactly why. This kind of regulatory fever unnecessarily burdens people at all levels of society. These regulators are unelected, and so they can make terrible decisions with no accountability. These regulators have essentially said that google can't show ads for products on their site unless they do it in a specific way that also shows their competitors ads for free! That is insane. This kind of crazy decision is common from these regulators, and it's no wonder the Brits got fed up with it.

> Both are incorrect. There is no wall.

There is no wall if you define a wall as something that can't be tunnelled through. So I'd agree that a wall is not a good analogy (and I also never used it). But I'm reasonably sure that there is a hill in between, namely the hill to go from one local optimum to another, more deeper one. Whether anyone can mount that hill that depends on her/his drive to learn. All that (good) academic degrees do is basically filtering for people with that drive. That doesn't mean that people without degrees can't have that of course, it just means that some effort needs to be spent finding them.

> Also worth reflecting that software is still relatively new and we really don't know what we're doing.

I agree wholeheartedly, and that's exactly why I'm very skeptical of people falling in love with some hammer-du-jour. It can be an OS, it can be a paradigm, it can be an editor, a library or a programming language - one should always be aware of its downsides, unknowns, alternatives and predecessors (and why/if they failed).

Edit: One more thing:

> I have watched many developers progress from being coders ("hammers") to being thoughtful architects

I don't doubt that one bit. To continue with the analogy, there's two ways to approach a 'hammer': becoming proficient in it, yet keep recognising that it is a tool and only a tool, and its use should be questioned as often as possible. To be able to do that it is often necessary to learn a few other tools at the same time, just to see the other side of the coin. Learning the right tools most certainly makes you a better architect as well though. The other way is to fall in love with the hammer and then start seeing everything as nails. I'm often seeing examples of people stuck in such a mindset and it usually happens with things that have a large community that serves as an echo chamber for people's fandom.

You did say you think there should be zero market, whether or not you intended for that to be something you said. Specifically, you said that restaurants should fill the gap served by meal-in-a-box services entirely. The interpretations in this thread have been reasonable. (No point arguing this with me; I'm looking at it from the outside, some hours later than it happened, and won't reply to this comment.)

This should be titled "What it Cost to Open My Restaurant in San Francisco". Costs are ridiculously variable in SF, depending your location and what kind of restaurant you build.

A couple years ago I invested in a new restaurant in SF. I believe the total amount spent as of opening ended up around $400k, maybe a little more.

Sadly, it folded after about a year. Restaurants are difficult, especially in a hyper-competitive market like SF. I probably wouldn't invest in one again, even if it was being built by a team with previous restaurant successes. There are just too many variables, and SF is over-saturated with restaurants.
Well done! Sounds very realistic.

The problem is that you cannot force a "subscription" with open-source software. It would not and should not be called subscription.

You could ask for a regular/monthly contribution.
There is something similar with Ubuntu and others; when you download Ubuntu, you are asked to make a voluntary monetary contribution.
in some ways this is similar to the australian university funding system where loans to cover education are managed by government - not the private sector - there is no interest beyond inflation, and repayments are taken automatically out of salary after your income exceeds a certain threshold.

i would imagine that Holberton School is much more focused on only accepting candidates for training where there is a good probability that the person will end up in the workforce afterwards. unlike perhaps some things one can study at university, or people who are studying but aren't thinking about a career in the workforce.

This reminds me of a joke I once saved:

A patient asks his doctor: "Do you think I will live to be 80?"

The doctor asks: "Do you smoke or drink?"

"Oh no," he replies. "I don't do drugs, either."

"Do you have many friends and entertain frequently?"

"No, I usually stay home and keep to myself".

"Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?"

He says, "No, my other doctor said that all red meat is unhealthy!"

"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?"

"No, I don't," he replies.

"Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?"

"No," He says. "I don't do any of those things."

The doctor looks at him and says: "Then why do you care?"

$10/day for lunch x 240 working days is $2400. For someone on a high wage, that's nothing. It's certainly not make-or-break in terms of holidays. Plus you don't spend your own time preparing your own lunch, and you get to sample lots of different kinds of food (if you're in the right place).

Also, self-made lunch isn't free. It's cheaper, but it's not 100% cheaper. The difference isn't between $10 and $0, but between $10 and, say, $4. A lot cheaper, but it lowers the 'saved' amount (at the cost of adding in shopping + preparing labour)

> All of this is little comfort to McGrath, who chafes at the thought of the Postal Service helping Chinese merchants poach his customers. “All of us sellers are selling a lot of Chinese goods in America but at least we’re creating jobs, making money, and adding to the economy,” he said. “But when people buy direct from China that’s adding nothing to the American economy.”

I understand the seller's frustration - their means of supporting themselves has been taken away, but I'm not sure I buy the argument that we need the intermediary just to "add to the economy". To me it just seems like an unsustainable business model that was destined to die once global communication became much easier, not just because of the various treaties and agreements of postal services.

The moment that chinese sellers could get a site available to a global audience, the need for an intermediary vanished; before you essentially paid for the connection; an extra $18 on a remote controlled toy boat was paying for access to the seller's inventory, supplied by his Chinese connections.

Now, there's no need for that connection or that warehouse - the visibility for any foreign seller is much greater, even to the point that it probably would still be valuable even without the USPS trade deal.

It's unfortunate, but this just seems like a model that was destined to die.

My first reaction was that 17%x3 seems like it's on the high side. But then I read Sylvain's (who I've met a few times over the years back when he was at LNKD) profile and saw that Holberton is a 2 year program, which is something like 8x as long as any other "coding school" (I refrain from using "bootcamp" since a 2 year school is clearly not a bootcamp) that I can think of.

Local services are the penny auctions of the VC industry. Since your margins are so dependent on achieving scale, there's a strong push to win customers at any possible cost.

Each VC is forced to dump in increasing amounts of money due to sunk cost fallacy for a fixed prize at the end of the rainbow. At the end of the day, the prize won isn't worth the collective investment and the entire industry represents a net subsidy to the consumer in the form of discounted services and referral bonuses.

It's one of the few things that make living in San Francisco bearable as it tends to be ground zero for these kind of gigantic customer acquisition battles.

Signal and Syncthing are great. magic-wormhole is more about setting up that initial connection: when two humans know each other, but their computers haven't met yet (i.e. know each others pubkeys).

In Signal, the security of the initial message exchange depends upon the phone network (did somebody spoof caller-id to claim Alice's phone number?) and the Signal servers (did they report the correct key for Alice's phone number)? Once you've verified keys in person, those concerns go away. In magic-wormhole, the security of the initial message exchange depends just upon the wormhole code.

For Syncthing, if I remember right, you have to exchange "Device IDs", which are like public keys. You can send them over email, but the security depends upon the email servers (did any of the servers along the path replace that DeviceID with a false one?). The window of opportunity for that attacker is basically the same as it would be for a wormhole code sent via email. And Syncthing gets you long-term/repeated sharing of a folder, whereas magic-wormhole is one-shot.

My goal for magic-wormhole is to offer it as a provisioning protocol for other tools (with better UI and more functionality). Imagine if Syncthing had an "Invite A New Device" button, and pushing it gave you a wormhole code, and the other Syncthing instance had an "Accept Invitation" button where you type in that code. Then you could get all the nice UI and workflow of Syncthing, but you wouldn't have to transcribe the large Device ID (pubkey), and you could do it over something safer than email (like a phone call or just speaking the code to the coworker sitting next to you).
This won't get you an interview, let alone a job.
