They are not. Judging people by qualities outside of their control winds up giving respect and power to many who do not deserve it, with the pain that inevitably follows. This holds true regardless of whether the bias is towards youth or age.

No, companies making things needing embedded stuff are usually trying to shave off pennies wherever they can. Which means the good embedded devs take jobs elsewhere that actually pay.

This is a great tutorial (I've read it), but I think for a number of reasons JUCE[0] is vastly superior to WDL-OL (although if you're not already familiar with audio programming in C++, the docs can be a little daunting).

I would suggest starting by checking out some open source plugins and standalone apps made with JUCE[1] to understand how the applications are structured, and the docs[2]. It also comes with a (mostly) great IDE called Projucer which allows you to see your code changes reflected in your application (almost) instantly.

I was looking for something like this a while ago. Not to be used with react though. Is the coupling necessary ? I would be sweet to have it as a vanillaJS lib + a react wrapper if it makes sense to you (I didn't look deeply at the code).
Although not CO2 or CO or smoke, all of which would be useful. For HVAC purposes, light, humidity, pressure, CO2, CO, and smoke are the useful ones. Leave out the microphone for privacy, but consider a passive IR motion sensor.
The GBA could definitely do a real 3D engine but it wouldn't look very good at the low resolution anyway. I remember a demo from back in the day of a Quake-like 3D engine on the GBA but it really didn't look good.

For the DS, note that he seems to be targeting the original DS (e.g. not DSi OR 3DS). I remember there being some slightly better stuff but not significantly better than what he made.

I actually addressed this question a year and a half ago as well [1], where I defined the DAO as blockchain based Investment Club Software. In otherwords what you are calling the "autonomous application", that wouldn't be the LLC but the Software that manages the Investment Club LLC. Note: the Wikipedia article for "investment club software" that I originally linked to no longer appears to exist.

My kid's bike (4yr) has a badge. It fell off, he was sad. It was a real dad-son bonding moment for me to show him how to carefully prep & re-bond the head badge.

It was also really fun to realize when it fell off that a) some bikes still have them and b) he thought it was cool and wanted it fixed. I hadn't given either any thought right up until the moment it fell off.

There's something deeply aesthetic about these.
A blockchain is secure because in order to "hack" into the database you need to have 51% of the computational power on the network to create the longest chain. In a large network like Bitcoin or Ethereum the massive computational power of the network ensures generating 51% of the compute power of the network is near impossibly expensive. How secure is a private blockchain? If there are only a few servers the network could be destroyed by just unplugging a few machines, or plugging in a few more.

Our AVR based setup uses the 32768Hz clock to wake up every two seconds to then do as much as it needs to at 1MIPS - "race to idle". Almost exactly the performance (other than the better I/O and the multiply op) that I used to get out of a Z80A or a 6502 (eg BBC Micro).
"Punish criminals to prevent crime" is ultimately a fear-based strategy. For it to work, your potential criminals have to be frightened enough of the consequences of getting caught that the rewards do not outweigh the risk. It works well when the rewards are small, the probability of getting caught and punished is high, and the punishment is considered sufficiently odious.

You can begin to outline the conditions under which it breaks down: if the probability of getting caught and punished is small, if the rewards are high, or if the punishments are insufficiently threatening. Investment scams and other organized crime is a great example. The rewards are high - millions and millions of dollars. The chance of getting caught are low - a lot of what you do will appear legitimate, and a lot of what you are doing wrong rests on intent. You have to separate the self-deluded from the con men. And if you do get caught, your punishment might be relatively light (a few years in prison as a nonviolent offender), and if you are clever with how you hide the money, you might get to keep most of what you steal.

In some sense, the SEC is like cops patrolling where they are most worried about crime. You are changing the math by increasing the risk while decreasing the reward, which dissuades more criminals than ineffectually punishing a few while others prosper.

Would be great if they showed some demonstrations / proof of any kind. DeepMind did great in that respect. I understand they're working on a different problem, but it's been a number of years; usually correct ideas don't take that long to show some promising progress.
The VM also has severe problems. Whether or not you are required to check exceptions at a call site depends on how you call a function, for example. It also does not have a monotonically increasing time value, since operations are allowed to manipulate the clock time up to some value.

Advances in tech should not overpower Society's needs. The first thing people do with tech is to use it to create or enhance weapons. Anyone that denies that needs to look back at history and see how technical innovations have been used. It's time to discuss the dangers of tech and how to limit its ability to create massively dangerous weapons. We all need to take the rose color glasses off and deal with the problem.

I'm finding recently that whenever I am taking a picture or video at a live event I think to myself "I am experiencing this awesome thing through a small screen, what am I doing?". If it's a video I alleviate myself by darting my eyes off and on the screen to make sure the framing is still good until I'm done.

I don't regret the photos or videos afterwards, and I do aim for a healthy balance. The reminder is still there though -- I'm there for the live experience, so I should act like it.
AS3 was like learning Java, but with the lifecycle gotchas of JavaScript. Ten years ago it offered everything that JS did, except it required static compilation. The development speed of JS+CSS was vastly better than with pure AS.

I believe what Overmind meant was that a single request in another language can probably beat Elixir in performance, but Elixirs ability to handle a large amount of requests concurrently means that it'll have better throughput.

For example, if a web request in framework A takes 100ms and framework B takes 200ms, but framework B can handle 4,000 requests concurrently and framework A can handle 1,000 requests concurrently, then framework B will beat framework A in handling 20,000 requests.

framework A - (20,000r / 1,000r) * 100ms = 2,000ms

framework B - (20,000r / 4,000r) * 200ms = 1,000ms
The difference between a moving and a static scene is surprisingly small: in one case you render a slightly different scene every frame, and in the other you re-render the same scene every frame. But the pipeline is set up the same, with the same shaders, the same rendering passes, etc.

So, in practice, if they are noticeably different in the dynamic case, you'll see those differences in the "as if it were dynamic" case, which is most graphics demos of this sort.

I own this. It is so delightfully well executed that I cannot help but be impressed. And yet it is somewhat appalling in that I cannot bring myself to read more than a few chapters.

Just as the settings and context of Jane Austen novels can be compelling, the settings and context of Pride Prejudice and Zombies can be simply unbearable.
I'm sure those that work at the SEC are under pretty tight monitoring for insider trading.
The OpenGL version is using parallax mapping, where the pixels of the flat plane are rendered by ray-marching into a depth map:

https://github.com/kosua20/GL_Template/blob/3de4e116cdd24df3...

The cycles version, on the other hand, is actually using the depth map to displace a high-res mesh -- a more general technique that should yield results as good or better than parallax mapping. I'd chalk up any perceived differences to lighting and material parameters.

As Rodney Brooks was recently quoted: "There are quite a few people out there who’ve said that AI is an existential threat: Stephen Hawking, astronomer Royal Martin Rees, who has written a book about it, and they share a common thread, in that: they don’t work in AI themselves" [1]

I recommend reading this: https://blog.ethereum.org/2015/08/07/on-public-and-private-b... . In a private blockchain the reading and writing permissions are controlled, therefore only selected nodes can write to it.

"The validators are known, so any risk of a 51% attack arising from some miner collusion in China does not apply."

I guess you could still have attack from authorized nodes in your own organization?

SEC clarifying some guidelines makes it easier to codify proper token sales like the upcoming filecoin one done by coinlist.

Scam tokens were never going to be the big driver of Ethereum success, official acknowledgement of it as a valid platform was.

This goes another step in that direction, particularly as it avoids clamping down on cryptocurrencies like Ethereum or Litecoin, which the IRS has deemed as property.

Initiatives like the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance are also contributing, so the more respectable it appears, the higher the price is likely to go due to higher expected future utility value.
This research (https://blog.openai.com/robots-that-learn/) is extremely relevant to Rodney Brooks' condemnation and an amazing achievement in my opinion.

Sigh...the one hundred years before 1990 was really a period of giants, with Claude Shannon, Kurt Gödel, Alan Turing, John von Neumann, Emmy Noether, David Hilbert -- as well as Albert Einstein, Paul Dirac, Louis de Broglie and the other quantum guys...

I have to admit it was those guys that inspired me to try to pursue a career in academia...but after I grew up, I found they were all dead -- or it might be the other way around...and many academic papers these days are filled with words that do not resonant, and with bloated references that do not shine -- some even marked with the acceptance rate of its publication to show off their elitism...

Seems that the age when a 25-page PhD thesis, containing only 2 references, could still be well accepted is fading further and further away...

I don't understand exactly what this implies. If DAO is a C Corp, will it pay taxes on USD equivalent value of their coin holdings (150$ million going by the report?), or only on what they ultimately convert to USD? What if they use the coins to make purchases directly? If I own a C Corp, can I hide earnings in USD from being taxed by exchanging them for coins I make using some open source block chain?

I actually read Pride & Prejudice because I heard about Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, and thought it sounded hilarious, but wanted to understand the background and changes, rather than go in blind.

It took me over a year to get through P&P but it's now a favourite that I've enjoyed in many other mediums (The Lizzie Bennett Diaries[1] being the highlight).

P&P&Z, on the other hand, I found heartily disappointing, and impossibly tiring to read. I ended up listening to the audiobook instead, which made it a bit more palatable. There were a few good sections, but overall I wasn't much of a fan. That said, the movie is far worse, doing away with the little that was good about the book.

Sigh, GitQ means Mr. GitHub's Questions site :)

I started to think about this project before 2014 and bought the domain in early 2014 maybe and started then, so can I say this also does not apply?

Actually, it's too early to think about this. Now, I'm just wondering why I got so little points and how can I get the post to be on the HN home page so it can get enough focus? Is there anyway to attract more people to the GitQ? Is this project useful enough for the open source community?

Honestly I think the most important thing is to help a kid find a sport they love that will motivate them to stay active. My concern about TBI in kids heading soccer balls is far less than childhood obesity and inactivity. We can push kids toward "safe" sports with minimal risks, but that doesn't guarantee they will enjoy it. A kid that grows up playing contact sports is still going to have better health on average than the sedentary kid.

YC companies beware. YC "Continuity" will come talk to you to learn the ins and outs of your business and then go fund a non-YC competitor. The whole idea of the fund was to use it to support YC companies at the next stage but now they're funding companies like Convoy that compete with YC companies like Flexport, while using their access to the YC businesses to do diligence. That's fine, normal investor behavior, but you can't treat YC like trusted insiders any more (prob never should have).
