You should look at the ARKit Example app, I think they do some averaging of the feature points you get to better stabilize anchoring in real world.

Also note that since ARKit identifies points from image features, stickiness will be improved with areas that have a lot of texture, like a wood table.

I’ve been experienmenting with ARKit to see where it works and where it fails, it does terrible if you use it in a car. Try it! That’s shows that Apple relies so much on the motion data on the phone.

Message if me if anyone has any questions or interests in ARkit, love to chat :).

I looked at the report[1], and pretty much all of the companies listed are energy companies (e.g. coal/petroleum/etc). I was expecting to see a lot of heavy industrial manufacturing companies.

I can understand a coal plant producing a lot of emissions, but I'm wondering: why would a petroleum company generate a lot of emissions? Do they burn a lot of the fuel they produce? I thought they just pump the crude oil out, pass it through fractional distillation, and sell the resultant fuels?

I would think that one company (Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc..) that cared enough would be better off SOLEY funding a project like this for themselves first - then others second.

"Finally, we are going to require that Qubes-certified hardware does not have any built-in USB-connected microphones (e.g. as part of a USB-connected built-in camera) that cannot be easily physically disabled by the user, e.g. via a convenient mechanical switch. However, it should be noted that the majority of laptops on the market that we have seen satisfy this condition out of the box, because their built-in microphones are typically connected to the internal audio device, which itself is a PCIe type of device. This is important, because such PCIe audio devices are – by default – assigned to Qubes’ (trusted) dom0 and exposed through our carefully designed protocol only to select AppVMs when the user explicitly chooses to do so."

This made me download Qubes. Amazing project that seems to care.

It all depends on how aggressive the site is on cracking down and banning dummy accounts and the cost of the "upvote packages" (which I can't seem to find). On Metafilter they seem quite aggressive so the accounts have very limited value/lifespans.

A dummy account on reddit may be allowed to vote hundreds of times before being banned so the price per vote becomes minimal.
I use a static site generator for my blog - but as I only post once or twice a year, I generally find I'm fixing broken static site generation about as often as I'm writing a blog post.

Using a mac? I hope you've got xcode installed to give you command line tools. No, you can't get that to work without logging into your Apple account. Right, now just install these tools using homebrew. Oh, homebrew's giving some git error? Sorry, you're on your own. Got homebrew working? Right, better make sure you've got ruby and gem and python and nodejs installed. Still doesn't work? Oh, that's because you're missing redcarpet, just gem install redcarpet. It didn't work? Oh, guess I actually need a development version of ruby.

Moved to Linux? Good news, there's a jekyll package right there. Bad news is it's outdated and won't build your site. Time to install ruby and gem then use them to install jekyll. Didn't work? Oh, you don't want that version of ruby, you need the development version, gotta have the right files so you can compile things as they download.

So no, I don't recommend static site generation to anyone who isn't a veteran error-message-googler.
Can someone explain the point of all this? Is this to challenge your own ability to stick to a plan? Is it to impress others? The motivation alludes me entirely.

Definitely yes. It's performant and safe by default, and you have lot's of free or cheap quality hosting with CDN (example: Netlify.com).

UX is the bane of usability (at least as practiced). E.g. We've had professional "UX" designers seriously contend that "cancel" buttons should be made to not look like buttons. The joke at a certain large company was that if the UX designers had their way every default button would be big and green and every other button would be invisible.

True usability is about helping people make the correct decision, not just being smooth and frictionless. (See Don Norman's classic example of fire escapes that send people into basements to be trapped.)
Exactly. That's why there are three kinds of mathematicians, those who can count, and those who can't.

I don't really think anyome ought to be starting flame wars over whether PHP or JS is a poorly designed language. It's like watching Hitler fight Stalin.
Depends on the use case.

For a general site that's going to be maintained by a non-technical audience? Absolutely not. They need a WYSIWYG editor instead of markdown. "Deploy" for them has to be a "publish" button. Keep it simple with a self-updating WordPress on WPEngine or similar.

For API documentation sites, I use Jekyll and Slate all the time. They're going to be maintained by developers so markdown is easy. Version control is key. And syntax highlighting is important. We use Jekyll at Okta and it's easy but powerful enough to solve the big problems quickly and easily.
That's still a far cry from being able to voice vague requirements and have a computer develop a program from them.

I don't say cryptocurrency can't be a thing. If widely supported it can succeed as any other fiat currency.

It's just that I think it's nonsensical to apply analogy between gold/bitcoin because of the lack of practical value of BTC.

For instance if the Russian ruble lost 30% of it's value during late Cold War. Would you argue that it's like gold and that we should'nt worry? Well actually some people thought that way... and got burned.

Again I'm not comparing, I'am precisely stating that we should not compare crypto currency to previous markets. We should embrace the fact that we are totally in an unknown territory.

Easy: they lie. Why is this so mind-boggling?

You're just explaining why the company shouldn't have believed Goldman. And I agree they shouldn't. But it appears that they did believe them, for whatever reason. Perhaps it was the Goldman aura. Perhaps it was their top .01% sales staff. Perhaps it was knowledge derived from their client relationships concievably allowing them to choose long-term over short-term investors.

Whatever. But Goldman being skillful liars is not some bizarre left-field theroy.

Yes, but you do need to start moving towards germ theory to understand why washing your hands with charcoal instead of soap results in dead patients again. Of course scientific theory and scientific observation are bootstrapped off of each other in the course of a dialectic, but raw statistics only get you so far until deductive work is required for the next steps, and the cycle repeats. It's easy to spot and distill in hindsight what is less obvious in the act; and when you've got as many variables as the human experience does, and as many ethical questions when you experiment with them, the process becomes all the more vague.
you know what is an even better store of value? Just buying across the S&P 500. Treasury bonds also work.

I can understand going for Gold or BTC if you do not have reliable access to US financial markets, but if you do have this, there's no reasonable financial argument for using BTC as your store of value.

If the dollar falls apart, you won't be able to use BTC.

I do not even know how I would have built Certigrad in Isabelle/HOL in the first place. In my first attempt to build Certigrad, I used a non-dependent type for Tensors (T : Type), and I accumulated so much technical debt that I eventually gave up and started again with a dependent type for tensors (T : Shape -> Type). This was my only major design error in the project, and development went smoothly once I made this change.

High economic cost of preeclampsia during pregnancy
I agree and disagree.

If you have ample open source code, lots of experience that's relevant to what I'm doing, then gosh yes - nobody should be giving you homework to do.

To your point about only doing homework after you interview, look at it this way:

If you're unproven, then you're getting the homework because I don't trust resumes. I've seen college profs and career counselors tell people "If you've dabbled in it, put it on your resume." Combine that with people who don't have any code online because "I have a life outside of work" or "all my work is NDA", and I'm sorry - I need to see if you can do the job.

Look, I know it sucks to do homework as a candidate before you interview. You're taking 5 hours to do it. And I know it feels like a disrespect for your time.

But there are devs on the other side who are part of the interview process too. And for each candidate most companies interview, there's about 2 hours for every hour interview per person. Cos there's usually some kind of prebrief, the interview prep, the interview itself, then filling out scorecards and the debrief. That's a time investment too.

And if I'm interviewing tons of people, and then give them the homework, and it turns out they're great people but can't do the job we need them to do, then we wasted their time, got their hopes up, and wasted a lot of our time. Hiring people for a team is extra work. If I spent 3 hours in interviews today, guess what? I still have to get my work done too.

The argument against homework from the candidate always comes down to "Why should I have to prove I can do what I say I can do?"

Because that's what interviews are. And if you can demonstrate you can do what you say you can do, you'll make six figures sitting behind a computer screen in air conditioning.

Sounds like a sweet deal to me.

Agreed, the saying to me comes across as a cheap way to try and absolve oneself of any personal (moral/ethical/etc)responsibility as if the mere presence of flaws in a system necessarily means they're not responsible for their own actions.
