> I'm of the opinion that if you have to be "trained" to find a work aesthetically appealing, it isn't inherently aesthetic.

I don't see how this is tenable, given how much aesthetic taste is learned regardless.

A lifetime's journey through arts, if done with any thought at all, is certainly a process of learning, of training. Efforts to defend old favorites in light of new knowledge will be attempted, sometimes succeed and allow new levels of appreciation of already-experienced work, sometimes fail when one discovers that the work lacks the substance on which to defend it. Maybe one continues to like the work anyway, but understands its limitations, its shortcomings. Learning, or training, happens, taste refines, horizons widen, new works become accessible, and the process repeats. Sensitivity to the arts develops, informs other areas of life. This doesn't even need to be the result of some kind of formal arts crit/appreciation training; informally and casually but thoughtfully engaging with art will allow (perhaps slower) progress of the same sort.

However, a similar journey taken thoughtlessly is trained just the same, but arrested. The hardened aesthetic taste of the latter is still "trained", just poorly, probably in part accidentally, and with training halted or slowed at some point, leaving the remaining guiding tastes and opinions unchallenged, surviving favorites unexamined and unexaminable as the approaches and knowledge required to even begin are undeveloped and unknown. Why did the author include this particular character? Dunno, never thought about it. Must have wanted to is all. Did you feel the prose itself change pace as the action waxed and waned? Sure didn't, this book sucks and was boring. headdesk. OK, how about Encyclopedia Brown? WTF no, I used to like that but now it's boring too, give me some good fiction for adults like Stephen King. Not Dan Brown though, he's terrible. Oh, and why is he terrible? Just boring is all, and I don't like the way he writes. Ah, OK.

So, trained, advanced to a point, but arrested. Which is fine, we all pick our battles, but I'm not going to take the latter subject's aesthetic judgement very seriously or consider that anything they fail to enjoy is necessarily aesthetically lacking.

I guess we can quibble over your use of "inherent" but I can't see that ending anywhere other than "nothing a 2-year-old doesn't find aesthetically pleasing is inherently aesthetic" which doesn't strike me as a productive direction to go, however valuable the beauty of nature and child-like wonder may be.

Point conceded on philosophy though. Some of the most painful reads I've managed to complete were philosophy—More's Utopia in particular nearly broke me, and definitely wasn't worth the effort.

For most opportunities, it's about when right skillset meet with right timing. I always keep an eye peeled out for what's available out there but there's really no golden way of getting a job. I've tried many different methods and they all work.

What's most important is to be clear about yourself, what your skillsets are and what you can offer to the company. You should also have a good sense of what you're remotely interested in or looking for even if you're not 100% clear yet. Also, think about what skillsets you would like to grow and whether you want to deepen your skills or broaden your skills - You are the master of your growth/development.

Our servers are going a bit cranky due to the huge traffic we are experiencing today. New websites (that was not loaded on WhatRuns before) are now queued up and might experience few seconds of delay. This is to ensure best experience for our active users.
I tried it on a website of mine running on localhost using Python and it said languages "Python Node.js PHP Ruby" which seems a bit over enthusiastic as none of the non Python stuff was running.

Big red flag right there.

In my opinion it is unethical to ask for money via crowdfunding when you haven't even bothered with finalizing the spec first.
I use it for robotics research, and it's pretty fantastic. A few years ago it was common to see people literally strapping laptops onto robots, but this device is just as powerful with a much better form factor.
I care. For 4 years, I went to lunch with a team of "just a job" devs who only wanted to talk about celebrities, and gave me blank stares and laughed about how they "forgot all that theory stuff from college". It sucked.
Hell, I've been doing this for 13 years (professionally, more like 20 total) and at this point I only care about the money too. Everything else about this industry is not great, honestly.
I agree, but also think that neither is really necessary, courtrooms could have CCTV, that could be archived and made available to people that are involved with the case. A professional photographer or illustrator in a courtroom, now that I think about it, seems bonkers.
Yes. About 4 years ago they integrated full VoIP calling into something they call the Hangouts Dialer. Outbound works well, although I often have to initiate a call twice due to setup connectivity weirdness on LTE. Inbound basically never works, so I leave the PSTN forwarding on for that reason.

To address your concern with the privacy, WhatRuns do not collect or log any visitor information including IP address, location etc.
We receive anonymous website data and match with our database to display the results. Hope this clarifies.
Because no one poses for a courtroom sketch. Just by force of habit, the photographer would be a distraction and jurors would be looking at the camera, smiling, fixing their hair/teeth, and not focusing on the information being presented.
They do say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, which holds up almost as well as the "imitate then innovate" mantra.
FWIW, none of the static media (images, css, js) seems to be loading for me - I'm just getting a bunch of 404s. This is happening in all browsers on my system, including when plugins are disabled.

Congrats on the project :)

I have to agree. I went to a top 10 UK university which was very much focused on research. The teaching was okay to poor but the level you had to meet to pass the exams was high and I did project work with some of the brightest people I've met who pushed me. I saw some of the work my peers were doing at other universities and it was a walk in the park.
Since I can't seem to convince you, here's a definition of "Derivative Work" straight from 17 U.S.C. 101 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/101) (emphasis mine). (FWIW, I am a licensed attorney who specialized in IP law while in law school; this is not legal advice.)

"A “derivative work” is a work _based upon one or more preexisting works_, such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, _art reproduction_, abridgment, condensation, or _any other form in which a work may be recast, transformed, or adapted_. ..."

As applied to the company logo in question, the language is pretty well on point. I'd tread with caution unless the company has made it clear they approve of the work.
It specifically means that the compiler may assume that this case never happens, and do what's convenient to it.

In practice, for the addition function above, the convenient thing for any compiler on any reasonable platform is to just let the hardware handle overflow the way the hardware wants to. Signed overflow is undefined so that C as a language is portable to hardware with different ways of overflowing signed integers, and so there isn't a need for a compiler on one platform to implement special behavior. But it's unlikely to crash, corrupt memory, conjure demons, etc.

Corrupting memory requires a bit more setup: you do a bounds-check on a pointer in a way that hits signed overflow (or you do some inappropriate casts, or something), you get a result, and you use that result to index into an array. If the way that you got that result involved UB, your bounds check may not be valid. Again, this isn't because the compiler particularly desires to access invalid memory, but because it wants to do the cheapest possible thing that is still correct for all defined behavior.
I'm not sure how that's a problem. Presumably I like the sources I deem to be of a certain quality. I don't want to see the stuff I don't like because it's probably not at the standard of quality I expect.

The reason nobody's solved the "moderation" problem is because it's the wrong abstraction or the wrong problem to solve. The problem to solve is how to make filtering and discovery better.
Not sure exactly what you are asking, as in, an emergency happened while driving with autopilot and then it disengaged randomly? Or I was driving and had an emergency and I had to engage autopilot?

I've never seen autopilot disengage by itself. It will after 3 warnings to the drive where they don't touch the wheel, I've never done that though.

There was one time, not quite an emergency, but basically my contact fell out of my eye, into my lap somewhere, and because I had autopilot on, it allowed me to safely use a few extra seconds needed to look down to find it. Whereas without autopilot, the number of seconds it took to find it normally would be considered very dangerous to look away from the road that long.
While I have little political experience, I do have experience developing grassroots volunteer organizations and I can say that it's all about people and communication. Technology is more of a means to an end but what's helped is dialogue with people to share our vision. We've tried introducing new technology before but people just hated it. Why? Because it becomes impersonal and the message gets lost. After all, the medium is the message as Marshall McLuhan would say.

I'd be happy to learn more about what you're working on and see if there's more specific advice I can give.

Hardly. The CoS is like LA's version of the Amish. There aren't many of them and, much like wild animals, they're more scared of you than you are of them. The most exciting thing they ever do is pay for some floats in a Christmas parade once a year. I think they had a Garfield float last year.

Ask HN: Any good products to allow users to build dashboards within an app?
My company has an Angular 1.3 front-end app (looking to re-write or upgrade soon) that interacts with our REST API. After logging in users can perform various tasks and see some simple dashboards we created for them around usage. Right now the dashboards are the same for every user but we have had numerous requests for customization. We would love a tool (paid or otherwise) that our users can build custom dashboards with embedded into our front-end app. It would need to grab data from our REST API and provide basic charts and graphs configurable by the user. Does anyone know of any good solutions for this?

They have always maintained that Google does modify the packages and maintains any necessary merging and maintenance of the package. It is not just about versioning. This is why they maintain their own repository of third-party libraries in the first place, and why the tooling is designed to support their forking methodology.

Again, this may be a poor operational choice for those outside of Google, but they have also been quite clear that Go is built for the problems that Google has. If your problems are different, it may not be the right tool for the job. A hammer doesn't have to be able to cut wood. There is no harm in choosing a saw instead.
They are [somewhat] popular for embedded computer vision and machine learning development. Think developing algorithms for autonomous cars or similar as an example. Stuff where you need an embedded platform, but need a powerful GPU for computational purposes.

That combination is somewhat rare, especially in an affordable, ready-to-go format available in small quantities that developers can use to play around.

No one expects a chemical engineering 1st year student to have mastered organic chemistry already. Just as no one expects a 1st year mechanical engineering student to thoroughly understand rigid body dynamics at age 10.

Yea maybe they built an RC plane or did some home experiments, but if anyone is doing these things at a young age they are clearly far above their peers.

Their entire business is built around mod authors they brought in. CS, TF, Portal, Dota, and I think even some of the HL mods started as grassroots efforts. Not sure on that last part.

Valve doesn't make their own games. They had to make HL back when they were struggling. It's their model, and it's one of the most lucrative in the world.

I think it's mistaken to say they have nothing to prove. They're held to the highest standards by the community, and they work their ass off to deliver quality content. Icefrog certainly has something to prove.
It is almost certainly cheaper to have big motors centralized at a single unit, because motors scale faster than linearly with size.

It is also almost certainly cheaper to have small batteries spread through the train, because batteries scale mostly linearly, but there are a few problems with dense packs (like cooling).

Thus, if you want to plug the unities one into the other, you will probably have one or two powered unities, many cargo unities, and a few battery unities spread between them. Besides, you will also want dummy unities on the front and back with aerodynamic shapes.

Many servers do not have persistent in-process state, or have in-process state that is robust against bugs in other parts of the program. In particular, in most languages where you need special syntax or data types to access shared state (so, definitely not C or C++, but Python should count), you can isolate all the code that doesn't use this syntax or these types of objects inside a giant try/catch, and know that any misbehavior inside that block of code cannot possibly have affected the shared state.
Reading further in, it was a screw-up on the paper envelope that had too big of a window and referred to HIV treatment connected to the person's name. This is really bad, but it was 12k localized instances of crummy physical mailing.

Yes, I certainly was not advocating ignoring any error. Which is, why exceptions are of dubious use. If you only check exceptions around a larger block of function calls, or every several levels of the call stack, then you might miss the exact source of the exception, unless the exception type is unambiguous. That is, why I find the Go version tedious for sure, but still better than to wrap single function calls into try... catch.
Shameless plug: I've been writing a series that's WIP about writing a tiny optimising compiler - https://github.com/bollu/tiny-optimising-compiler. It tries to model as much as possible, and the aim is to show off the power that modern compiler ideas bring: SSA and polyhedral compilation.

> I guess my contention is that we all should realize a giant program like word is going to exhibit areas of latency that simpler programs can be more efficient in.

But that's just lazy design. The immediate effect of typing a character (i.e., showing up on screen) hasn't changed in decades. Yes Word may do other stuff, but none of that other stuff is in the critical path for typing latency.

Think of a database like Oracle. Oracle does lots of stuff, but its critical latency path (committing simple transactions to the log) is as fast or faster than "simpler" ACID databases.
Math has the concept of non-compiling code: a proof that is wrong. You get partial credit if you get early steps right, and more if latter steps are right.

The idea that code that doesn't compile is not worth partial credit is wrong in academics. In the real world the code needs to compile first, of course, then run. However if your professors cannot look at your code that doesn't compiler and decide how much partial it is worth there is a problem.

That said, getting code to compile is a trivial part of the problem.
How do you protect your customers information

Using the portal gun to not only jump through space, but time as well?

Ummm, YES!

The 'structure' of the puzzles you could use that with would need to be very tightly controlled (enemy position vectors, amount you can travel backwards in time, maybe some sort of energy mechanic you have to pick up as you go along, etc). But still, WOW! Jumping back to the start of a level at the very end and you must manipulate time to accomplish the level, there is a LOT of possibility to talk about there. I have no idea what jumping forward in time would look like except if you went back, say 5 minutes, and then you could only go forward again up to that 5 min mark.

However, you can't use this in a PvP manner very well, only co-op. Maybe you could have the players ALL jump back in time except the user of the time device who got to essentially teleport around. However, the cheesing of that mechanic would be frustrating in the extreme.

I find this somewhat hard to believe. And if there was a difference, I'd figure it goes the other way because fonts have hinting. Also, someone itt posted a screenshot of misaligned SVG icons causing bad (blurry) anti-aliasing.

Given the choice, I'd still use SVG btw, but that's because icons aren't text, and SVG is a lot better fit.
