Analog reproduction is far less complex and easier to explain in pictures to an unknown entity that might find it. Figure that they'll need to build what effectively amounts to a record player to play the thing back. In addition there was no digital technology of the time with a large enough capacity to store what we sent, or that was durable enough to deal with an unknown time in space.

Quality of the reproduction is not a consideration.

- Saudi Arabian resident spotted an arbitrage opportunity buying onions cheaply and selling them to small and mid-sized outlets (large outlets already had suppliers)

Rote learning is the most important skill I've ever picked up. It teaches you humility and that hard work matters. It's unattractive but I found it fundamental to my education.
I'm not 100% sure about this but I think part of the reason why its called you only look once is that it is single frame object detection. I do know that there are other types of networks that can previous frames into account, but the models themselves are much larger (in terms of VRAM requirements for loading into memory) and more computationally intensive. This network is special because it can run with very little power. From what I remember it can run on a 10W board at 6fps which compared to networks only a few years ago is 10x decrease
Realistically, how difficult is it to write a brand new operating system like this? Could a few people with full-time jobs write a working model in a year? Maybe 10 people? Is it just too time consuming with too little of a payout? There should be more options; I think a lot of people can agree on that.
Snopes, really? Haven't the couple behind it been proven to be agenda-driven for the left?
Smooth motion is definitely a big factor. Just look at things in terms of how fast something on screen (eg. the cursor) is moving in terms of pixels per frame.

Moving a cursor horizontally across a 4k display in a relatively slow one second is 64 pixels per frame at 60Hz, which is significantly wider than the cursor itself. At 144Hz it's about 26 pixels per frame, and at 280Hz it would be about 14 pixels per frame.

Even if you have a low-persistence display, you need to have a pretty high refresh rate to draw smooth motion. Hardly anything needs to be animated all the way down at 1 pixel per frame, but hardly anything currently comes at all close to that ideal strobe-free smoothness.

The author of the blog post you linked to talked a lot about redistributing generated files, and I assumed you linked to it because you agreed with the opinions he expressed.

After moving the project folder to a new location you just have to rerun the cmake command to update the project files. CMake attempts to do this automatically when you build.
It doesn't have to be implemented as a message bus. It should just be a message bus semantically. Under the hood we could implement all sorts of tricks to make it faster, as long as the applications don't notice the difference.

One drawback of the Hindley-Milner type system is that its typecheckers are necessarily non-compositional. The basic idea here is that this can result in "non-symmetrical" error messages[1]: given something like

MkPair :: a -> b -> Pair a b
not :: Bool -> Bool
succ :: Int -> Int

foo x = MkPair (succ x) (not x)

the error message will either complain that `x` has type `Bool` but it should be `Int`, or it will complain that `x` has type `Int` but it should be `Bool` -- depending on what implementation you use! For example, in Haskell, Hugs 98 will emit the first error message, but GHC 7.10 will emit the second (see the full example in my slides[2]). And in some sense, neither is right (and certainly neither is as helpful for the programmer as it could be).

So next time you're implementing vanilla HM, maybe consider a compositional type system[3] instead, which can give the following, much more informative error message:

Cannot unify 'Int' with 'Bool' when unifying 'x':
Cannot unify 'Int' with 'Bool' in the following context:

MkPair (succ x) (not x)

Bool -> Pair Int Bool Bool
x :: Int Bool

I have a simple implementation here[4], and am about to release a new version which works on `haskell-src-ext`'s AST to support more of Haskell 98 syntax (but still for vanilla HM only).

There is clang-format, which comes even with clang for windows, I use it with a Visual Studio extension and it formats the code whenever I save.

Wouldn't the header need to be explicitly listed as a dependency to prompt it's generation anyway?
I guess a simple way of explaining it is that if there are any new header dependencies, one of the files that make already knows about must have been modified to add the #include statement, so make will correctly rebuild the .c file and generate the new .d file, even though it's working on outdated dependency information.

Though, I guess I wasn't quite correct either. See plorkyeran's sibling comment re: generated header files.

A large part of Gates' money goes to preventing common disease, providing education etc. Buying mosquito nets was the latest one I saw.

These aren't investments and they aren't going to generate a monetary return for Gates. Under traditional economic dogma, no one should ever do this. Its not an investment, its donation.

Money set out purely for generating return can be hoarded when theres no good use for it. Money lying in an investment fund or an investors bank account is useless while not invested and can continue to be useless when invested in a company that fails or does nothing to help society.
On the contrary, there is a lot that is not rewritten at all.

For starters: The Unix that I (and quite a lot of other people) use today shares entire manual pages with the Unix of more than 30 years ago.

An example: The manual page for the ul command that was written by (then) Mark Horton is pretty much unchanged today in FreeBSD and NetBSD. For 34 years, it hasn't actually described the command correctly or fully.

My immigrant mother was talking with her immigrant friends about how kids these days have it all backwards. They say you fall in love with the one you marry, not marry the one you love. I was lucky to get it both ways with my wife though, and still finding out have to work on it every day to keep it alive. That's not a bad thing, and it keeps her falling back in love with me, especially when I screw up.

> Also, the Linux kernel is pure GNU Make (no autotools, since that doesn't really make sense).

While that is true, they have a lot of wrappers and pseudo-meta-programming that makes it very simple to add a module to the kernel. It's unlike any other "pure GNU make" project I've seen.

Huffman Codes have a similar origin.

https://www.maa.org/sites/default/files/images/upload_librar...

In 1951 David A. Huffman and his classmates in an electrical engineering graduate course on
information theory were given the choice of a term paper or a final exam. For the term paper,
Huffman’s professor, Robert M. Fano, had assigned what at first appeared to be a simple problem.
Students were asked to find the most efficient method of representing numbers, letters or other
symbols using a binary code. Besides being a nimble intellectual exercise, finding such a code would
enable information to be compressed for transmission over a computer network or for storage in a
computer’s memory.

Huffman worked on the problem for months, developing a number of approaches, but none that
he could prove to be the most efficient. Finally, he despaired of ever reaching a solution and decided
to start studying for the final. Just as he was throwing his notes in the garbage, the solution came
to him. “It was the most singular moment of my life,” Huffman says. “There was the absolute
lightning of sudden realization.

[...]

Huffman says he might never have tried his hand at the problem - much less solved it at the age
of 25 - if he had known that Fano, his professor, and Claude E. Shannon, the creator of information
theory, had struggled with it.

I feel like the aversion toward cubicles is more psychological and association-based than really makes sense. A cubicle is (as a sibling poster pointed out) just an office without a door. Sure, the walls don't always go all the way to the ceiling, and they're thinner than real walls, but they serve a similar purpose.

I think we just grew up through the Dilbert-esque "cubicle farm" revolt, and we have negative associations that aren't entirely deserved.

If cubicles are a way to cram more people into a space because offices take up too much room, and open office plan is a way to cram more people into a space because cubicles take up too much room. And yet there's still the sentiment among open-office-plan workers that they wouldn't want to go back to cubicles, when most of the reasons they don't like the open office plan would be solved by cubicles.
Libertarianism is opposed to both murder and sexual abuse. They are clear violations of the non-aggression principle.

For fun, let's slippery slope this trend into the setting for a story.

At some point the workplace will just end up an unlivable hellscape where people have to walk to work 20 miles from their triple bunked dorms, and then stand inches from each other for 16 hour double shifts wearing nothing but VR goggles and chord boards. The 12th floor walkup, non-temperature controlled "office" warehouse will smell like fear and sweaty humanity, the only "perk" will be the government mandated yearly flea and louse spray that will rain down from the ceiling and the monthly cleaning of the shared feeding tubes.

During enforced sleeping periods, employees will spend precious sleep time sending tap-code (error corrected of course) to each other the workings of a conspiracy wherein they'll demand 60cmx30cm standing desks, a 12" CRT monitor, 12 hour shifts and 1 day off of work a quarter and a decent burial instead of being shoved off into a nameless mass grave.

I call this book, Apathy Shrugged
It's clearly single-frame; you can watch recognition succeed and fail from frame to frame. The "person" recognizer misses some clear faces, so it's not heavily face-oriented. Since it's single-frame, it's not recognizing articulated motion.

Recognition seems to be limited to "person", "motorbike", "tie", "cell phone" (a gun, actually), "umbrella", "truck" (misidentified part of a train) "bench" (a railing) and "horse" (motorbike with duffel seen from rear). "Person", "umbrella", "tie", and "motorbike" seem to work; the others are kind of random.

The trouble with running recognizers on Hollywood movies is that they have many conventions of what appears on screen and how big it is on screen. Are they training on such data?

Good data sets would be side views from a moving vehicle, like Google StreetView data or just a GoPro pointed sideways while driving around.
Well as for obesity rates (besides other factors) my understanding is that around the 70s governments decided that dietary fat and cholesterol was the primary cause of heart attacks and the side effect is that people significantly increased their carb intake.

It is true that culling the volume of things owned by parents can be a nightmare. I had to do this for my grandmother years ago and am starting to help parents with the same. It is amazing to me the volume of things they have held onto all these years for no discernible reason.

Years ago I committed to reducing the clutter in my life. It was such a pivotal moment. It was no longer necessary to move things from here to there in order to put up Christmas decorations, etc. I do think that overall we see value in things that truly have no monetary value all while keeping this item of "value" in the attic or in a box without seeing the light of day for decades. Things take a great deal of time and energy and for me personally, there seemed to be a connection between a disorganized living space with a disorganized mind/life. I cleaned all of that up and found I had better health, had time for the things I enjoy most in life, and was far happier than I would have imagined by having "less."
"Why should we be looking for solutions?"

At the end of the day, because I and the other not-ultra-wealthy want that money the ultra-wealth are capturing to be more equitably distributed.

The system didn't just end up this way as a quirk of chance--the ultra-wealthy have used their money to influence laws to arrange everything this way. They didn't need a reason to make it this way, except they wanted more.

Why even say "why should we be looking for solutions" as though that's what any of this is about?
> As of the third quarter of 2013, Gartner reported that Windows Phone holds a worldwide market share of 3.6%, up 123% from the same period in 2012 and outpacing Android's rate of growth.

Sound familiar? (and I assure you, that 3.6% is a whole lot more than a 135k measly installs a day).

:P

That's called 'unsustainable small scale growth'; and it's what you're seeing with vue right now.

A good year over year growth of 2 or 3% is far far far more compelling than a tiny 100% growth rate from nothing to nothing.

Look at chrome's history of growth and that's what you'll see. In fact, if you look at the long term history of all three, that's what you'll see with reacts growth as well: https://npm-stat.com/charts.html?package=react&package=vue&p...

Sure, maybe vue and windows phone are different beasts and they're difficult to compare... but the comparison to chrome makes zero sense either at this point.

This '100% growth' stuff is pure hand waving nonsense. Its obviously unsustainable.

The question is, can vue turn its current trend into a sustainable consistent growth and take on react? I dunno, but I can guarantee you the answer to that question is something that no one knows at this point.

If that is a concern, you are eating ice cream the wrong way!!
Interesting. Could you elaborate?
Joel's assertion applies to the situation where the old code and the new code will reach roughly the same complexity at the end (for example, this is often the case when the requirements are complex enough and cannot be changed). If you have a very good idea to greatly reduce the complexity, ignore him and go ahead.

In the other words, the point is that you always have to do the cost-benefit analysis for any such endeavor and the history tells that rewriting is intrinsically very expensive.
