No its more like people are so obsessed with curating their "fabulous" lifestyle for social media that they don't care.

The boarding passes are a carefully arranged prop in that picture, intended to reinforce the fact to social media that "yes I lead a fabulous life."

If their intention had only been to communicate to others that they were going on vacation, an "On our way to ____" message would have sufficed.
Awesome! These are all great. Lots of things I missed. The only one I was aware of was the problem with updating the window position when entering/leaving doubled mode. Winamp does lots of clever things in that case, and I've had a hard time reverse engineering the exact behavior (try some fancy edge-case layouts with three or more Windows for example) so I haven't done any implementiaon. I'll transfer them to GitHub! Thanks again.

An amazing example of the possibilities is the UCDavis Augmented Reality Sandbox, which uses a projector, an Xbox kinect, and sandbox that lets you wiggle your fingers to create rain, dig rivers and lakes, and see how water flows through an environment. My kids and I were blown away by it at a science festival last year. It's all open source and you could build your own for less than $500 I think:

That's excellent! I had not heard of the newer version, thanks for the info! I was very happy when I saw that they finally started recommending parents vaccinate boys as well as girls. I never understood the initial hesitance. Sure boys might not have to worry about cervical cancer, but HPV is the #1 cause of oral cancer in males. And that's on top of just the general 'if you can protect your child from a prevalent disease with minimal risk, why wouldn't you?'
Those can be extracted. Way more relevant imo: Links to your repo. For a mildly successful project a key part are external links pointing to your project. Those will point to a wrong location and you won't have control.
1 vote for a poor person = 1 vote for a rich person (ideally). In mining, the more mining power you have, the more "say" you have. One stays constant, the other scales. Don't you think that is an important distinction?
I'm doing similar, it's so much fun, and here are my takeaways:

- Ignore socket.io, do pure binary websocket

- Do not serialize JSON, or use msgpack or protobuf - write your own protocol.

- Write tests for protocol, you need fast iteration. It's super easy to write tests for codec.

- Quadtrees are kinda lousy compared to r-trees.

- Measure everything with realistic load - i.e. I've found out that it's more costly to calculate world entity deltas to send to client, than to send everything in his view.

- Keep client updates under MTU payload. This is basically impossible with JSON.

- Mutability is the way to go for performance.

- Share code with backend and frontend, you'll need it for client prediction.

- Prefer fixed entity speeds.

- Don't log per-frame in production, journalctl will eat up your memory.

- Write game bots to test your load non-synthetically.

- Test on your VPS, you'll be surprised how underperforming CPUs are in most providers. Neighbours are probably serving some CRUD and are very likely not to be as noisy as you are.

Now, all this might not apply depending on exact gameplay mechanics you have, but it works for me. I have Node.js serving 200 clients and 10k entities with vision (can run at or from you) at 20 frames per second that keeps under 100MB RAM with no hiccups. I think I could use something like Golang for some more advanced physics though.

A question to all reading - I'm considering adding an option to mine Monero in my next game. It'd probably be a flip-switch between ads and mining right there on the home screen, with some intelligent throttle/thread decisions depending on the kind of device game is running on. I'd appreciate any feedback regarding the sentiment on that.
Renting a jet to get from A > B is no slower. But, it's a lot cheaper and the difference in costs is not a net economic benifit.

Andrew Ng's Machine Learning 18 months ago and now his deep learning course. I do them because he's the best lecturer I'll ever have.

I also started the Scala course, but stopped as life was too busy, and I'm half way through Geoff Hinton's NN but he's just not as good at explaining things as Andrew Ng.

Out of curiosity, how much of a difference would Puma make in terms of memory usage once available (specifically at the low end, i.e. for teams of less than 5 members)? And would you happen to have a rough idea of which features are the biggest contributors to the high memory usage of GitLab?

Being able to comfortably host a limited version of GitLab for a small team on the lowest tier of Digital Ocean or EC2 instances (<512MB) would be a game changer in terms of the accessibility of GitLab as a product. It would give you access to the long tail of potential privacy-conscious users who would like to avoid hosting their code on a SaaS service (and thus wouldn't be already captured by the market leader, GitHub), but might be put off by the high operational costs involved with self-hosting a GitLab instance compared to some of the lighter weight alternatives.
Why would you do such a thing?
Just to add a tad, the number needed for herd immunity differs by disease. For polio, you only need to get around 80 - 85% of the population immune before everyone is effectively protected. For measles, on the other hand, you have to get to 95%. That's one of the reasons polio is expected to be eradicated before measles, every % point higher is harder to get, so 95 is a tough goal to reach.

A patch implementing channel binding has been presented for integration into Postgres 11: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/14/1153/. Two channel types are presented: tls-finish and endpoint. Per the RFC 5802, it is mandatory to use SSL if you want channel binding as the data needed for binding validation is either the TLS finish message which can be found after the SSL handshake between the server and the client (which happens before the password-based authentication), and a hash of the server certificate. All those things are actually supported by a set of APIs in OpenSSL.

Can you expand a bit more on that? Cool tips, for sure. Personally I'd appreciate a flip-switch between ads and mining, as long as it defaulted to ads.

Ethereum itself is just a building block. It only appeared few years ago, and applications using it are being built right now.

You can see applications built on it -- decentralized exchanges, prediction markets, derivates/derivative markets, gambling sites and so on.

It's kinda ridiculous to demand "actively utilize today", although some apps are in active use, but they are pretty niche.

At this point we talk about what _can_ be built, not what _was_ built.

As for 'tangible value', tangibility is very subjective. There are still people who claim that Bitcoin has no tangible value, but I bet if you were living in a country with an unstable banking system, ridiculous capital controls and high crime rate, you'd see Bitcoin's value

There are many ICOs and tokens on other platforms, including Bitcoin. E.g. [see here](https://coinmarketcap.com/tokens/). #3 and #4 are on Omni, which is Bitcoin-based.

Ethereum is actually technically inferior as a platform for tokens, but it has a fantastic community which is very much into tokens, so that's why it is much bigger than what you see on other platforms (BitShares, Nxt, Omni, Counterparty, WAVES...)
That's a good point. But I still don't like it.

I mean, there are circumstances where it'd work. But the requirements for verification and chain of custody would limit usefulness, I think.

Ask HN: What weekend projects have you created?

Furthermore, this is all untested in the courts. Contracts and laws aren't really worth much until they're tested in courts. It's arguable that giving someone a license to use your code also gives them a license to use the patents that code uses.

Google is being fined by EU for their business practices in EU.

You can't run a company at break even, you need profit from the average ride. So, if it's a ~50 billion dollar company making 4% or 2 billion in profit per year, and the US is 10% of that profit they need to charge an average of 6$ more per ride.

Which is flat out not going to happen without reducing the number of riders thus pushing up prices even more. Which is why it's not a 50 Billion dollar company long term.
In my particular game, for core gameplay, I'm just sending the angle and whether the action button is down or up. So I just slapped together a Node.js script to spawn N clients that, according to some simple logic send that input to server. They don't even interpret what server sends back to them, because I'm testing the server-side with them. Bonus is that you can test your algos in extreme circumstances, like send all clients to particular spot on the map, so you can see how it performs with different distributions of locations.

This was invaluable to almost all multiplayer games I did.

Wrt mining/ads, I'm considering to default to mining if I detect ad-blocker, or you're on Chrome + Desktop PC (not laptops).
Sure, each has one vote.

But it's not your one vote that makes any difference, It's how many votes you can influence. And that's all about privilege and money. Campaign funding. Lobbying.
It's not about ad revenue, it's about people almost never taking the time to configure things they can configure, and that if you don't use configuration options, they are distracting/can cause bugs.
To generalise your point further generally with the experience of living away from one's home country (or, even more, one's home culture):

Aliens collect with aliens. Because of a shared experience. The shared experience is being alien.

Very specific but common example: A local telling a taxi driver a location "next to XYZ school that relocated a few years ago". That's pretty clear to a local.

However, "on the intersection of ABC and XYZ street" would be from a non-local.

Don't think of this example as in taking a taxi, or finding a place. Of the assumptions someone intimately familiar with something, assuming others are so too.

That's not true. You need to think and not, on un-thought assumption, not exclude.

The real interesting thing is not whether opiod addiction is a disease or not- it clearly is - but why the behavior-controll-fraction trys so violently to clamp down on drug-behaviour with the law.

It just doesn't sound rational. And its not. Many oxy-addicts of today, where former - "The police should get them" conservatives. So what compels a human being to want the state to go after his fellow being, which irony- might be his/her future self.

My guess, at the motivation is a mixture of envy (on a perceived decadent lifestyle) without hard work, a fear for ones offspring and finally grievances caused by known addicts (small time theft and crockery).

As long as these emotions are not respected, taken care off and defused, as long as this is the case, the disease that is drugs can not be handled.

Raiden’s ICO Courts Criticism
It's not just $300K/yr of W-2 income being discussed; it's that combined with a net worth of $10MM. You could pay cash for that ~$2 million condo and still have $15K/mo to spend after tax. No need to save for retirement (that's what the $8MM is already covering) or college (break off a bit when that time comes).

If that situation feels "minimum viable" to someone, I don't think their primary problem is money-related.
I'm not a business owner, so this advice might be naive, but is there a reason you couldn't get a business loan from a bank instead of VC money? If you've got a strong enough business (which it sounds like you do), I'm confident they'd be interested, and it's not like they don't have the cash to invest.

I frequently inhale my cigar smoke, to the chagrin of cigar smokers everywhere. Cigars are one of the few areas in life where I pamper myself. I am not really a cigar snob, but I do buy some pretty expensive cigars and then smoke a half-dozen per day.

Don't get me wrong, I'll smoke a White Owl, if offered, but I much prefer better cigars. I'm not brand-specific, and I'll even try different styles and sizes. I don't always buy very expensive cigars but I do splurge sometimes. (I am trying to avoid recommending specifics, I probably shouldn't be suggesting people smoke.)

Starting in cybersecurity?
Given the variety and abundance of studies, along with my reading on evolutionary biology, human biological history, and sexuality in general, I think it's a simple matter of 'we are built to be profoundly sexual creatures.' Just look at the facts of orgasm and I personally think it becomes clear that it has to be a critical bodily function. If you refuse to do anything to elicit one intentionally, your body will eventually take over and force one to occur in your sleep. That is not something the body does generally with other things except critical ones. There is certainly an argument that perhaps the purpose is to improve sperm quality in males, but females have nocturnal orgasms as well (though the mess after puberty makes it quite a bit easier for males to recognize it has happened).

We could have evolved to have a 'mating season' as almost all animals have. We could have evolved for females to give visible indication of fertility. We could have saved "wasting" the positively monumental amount of energy we pour into pursuing sex. We could have evolved so that sex was not even pleasurable but driven by instinct. We didn't have to evolve women going through menopause (and living a substantial amount of time afterward). Almost every single facet of human sexuality, if viewed through the lens of "sex is for reproduction", looks nonsensical if not evolutionarily suicidal. But through the lens of "sex is primarily for pleasure and social bonding," every bit of it makes sense. It explains why we stuck together in groups, the only thing that let weak, slow, stupid chimps without fangs, claws, venom, natural armor, or other similar natural advantages (except maybe endurance) survive long enough to have our social environment provide pressure for brain development and development of speech. We stuck together to preserve access to sexual partners, because it was pleasurable, and it made us the most powerful species on the planet. It makes sense that those who 'needed' it more were the ones to pass on their genes the most often.
