I've used Godot a few times and found it pretty promising. The visual editing is a cool added value that wasn't there the last time I used it. It's not something I would personally use, but I've worked with artists/designers who have made use of similar tools with Construct and GameMaker.

The last time I started work on a new game I checked out Godot again, but ultimately I went back to GameMaker Studio.

I really think Godot has some real potential, but having the console exports for PS4 and Xbox One are pretty critical.

Every successful "youngster" you see has been helping someone around her/him or in her/his tribe achieve something they themselves did not envision or think possible.

What sets the successful youngster apart from the rest is their empathy, and their wish to see other people around them flourish. Elevate the people around you and it is very wonderful what will land in your basket.

I remember my older brother being moved by professionals when he was in the Navy. They came in and packed everything up including the waste basket by a desk... with all the paper trash in it. There was one thing damaged, which they told him about. His motorcycle fell over during the move and had a slight dent in the fuel tank. He looked at it and told them not to worry about it since he had a larger one on the other side.

He was really impressed with their services and if I ever use professional movers, I'd want folks like that.
There's no reason why it coudn't be a live site. A live version would require a custom gopher server though, and it looks like they're using Gophernicus. So what they're doing would be analogous to serving static files with NGINX but having the files updated periodically.

Frequently big companies buy others just to slow down possible competitors. In such cases, they don't really have a plan to improve the companies they buy, it is just a game of throwing money away to buy time. They do this because management is thinking short term, doing everything they can to improve their chances of cashing on big bonuses and increasing share prices.

Mongo shares the blame for making it the default and making authentication such a pain to deal with:

- Command line login never works, you have to get into Mongo shell, then authenticate.

- Attaching multiple db permissions to one user has all kinds of gotchas to: I have to switch to each database and re-auth instead of just authing to the user and then switching DBs without further auth.

None of it works intuitively.
A few ways that come to mind:

1. WebAssembly has almost no APIs to the platforms whereas Flash had a bunch (i.e. it's "as safe as JavaScript, because it can only call JavaScript").
2. The code is all new, as opposed to what I hear is a hard-to-maintain older codebase which wasn't designed with security in mind.
3. It's very static in that memory accesses are pretty easy to bounds check for the compiler.

Implementation-wise there's plenty of interesting things that can be done to tighten security of WebAssembly.

> Macros aren't required for reducing boilerplate and don't necessarily reduce boilerplate compared to a non-macro solution in an expressive language.

So i suspect you are thinking of ruby metaprogramming, in that case you have good and bad. With macro you can expand your code and have static tool reason about your code (IDE à la Éclipse). In the other hand in metra prog. you have all the info availlable at runtime and it is more easy to implement.

For the specific racket's match you can build your own match rule (http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/match.html?q=match#%28...) and that is macro power..

In my own use of lisps i havn't realy used any macro.

> You could easily build a company that does what Uber does in London without the hate for local Government that is ingrained into Uber's culture

You act like Uber flaunting local flaws is a flaw for the company. Ignoring 10,000 different sets of local laws in all the localities Uber operates is what made them successful.

It would have been impossible to expand as much as they had if the bothered dealing with the local bureaucrats, and they would have 10,000 sets of compliance to deal with.

"Vivid" often doesn't mean it's color accurate.

I think both the Pixel and iPhone Plus take some of the best mobile camera photos out there. The Pixel is much, much better at low light. However, the iPhone reproduces colors in a more realistic way. Most Pixel photos usually seem to have a harsher color tone, brighter/whiter, very cool like LEDs. The iPhone seems to favor a more warm color temperature, which I think generally produces worse low light photos, but more accurate color reproduction.
Makes perfect sense, I just hear so many people looking for problems in other areas outside their domain that it seems rare.

> As for scrolling, it is more work for us to match the OS scrolling behavior, for sure. But it can be overcome with effort and attention to detail.

You might think so. And yet, Android Firefox's non-native scrolling behavior continues to be totally awful. Has been for years. So many apps and websites fall into the trap of thinking that reimplementing OS scrolling is easy.

I'm not saying it's the wrong decision, but know that you are signing yourself up for not just a ton of work now, but also a ton of work in the future to match platform changes.
I didn't listen to this, but I have read The Brain Audit and it was actually a decent book. Some of it was pretty obvious, but some was quite enlightening.

jklein11,

The purchase of the laptop when bought new was over $2K. My wife is frugal and won't spend more money on another "new" or "refurb" computer.

Licensing is not an issue. It's the scarce time and how busy my wife is that I can't wipe and re-load.

But, reading everyone's comments the best way is to wipe. I will provide that option to my wife and proceed when I can to wipe and re-install.

Thank you for your response.
IMHO the ImageNet 2012 competition and the winning solution AlexNet (Krizhevsky et al.) was the pivotal moment in which (deep) neural nets went from a field only a few wizened academics cared about to becoming today's buzz word.

It did 3 things:

1. Provided a usable solution for what was previously an intractable real world problem, large multiclass image
classification, with decent accuracy

2. Crushed the prior benchmark on this task

3. Found a practical workaround to what was the biggest bottleneck, computation time, by utilizing GPUs (and made Nvidia stock explode /s)

The subsequent ImageNet competitions then later provided the perfect catalyst to refining and making deep neural nets mainstream. In parallel the sudden interest from everyone else who in turn started applying neural nets to pretty much every domain out there under the sun, was what I think ultimately made deep learning as it is to what it's today.
The default behavior is less than great, but it's serviceable at the very least. It would be nice if they tried to be a little smarter and took the background-color of any full-width elements and stretched that out into the insets.

I frankly thought it was going to be a bit more of a mess than this so I'm pleasantly surprised.

By the time a company needs to do 'layoffs' it's usually way too late.

HP is a dinosaur. They are just a machine that was setup, doing whatever they did before, and won't really be able to change.

Because they are in tech, it's unlikely they will be able to 'turn around' - it's too competitive.

Maybe KMart or Sears maybe under the right management could have turned around. Maybe. A cracker company. An insurer. But not HP. What are they going to do, AI?

And I don't mean 'strategic layoffs' - like MS has done - that's just somewhat ruthless restructuring.

I don't see how IBM or HP truly recover.

One interesting addition may be Cisco, someday. Not yet though.

While this is correct, you do not need to compute the inverse to solve this kind of least squares problem (and you do not need the inverse to solve any linear systems of equations).
I don't believe that Firefox's http code is using Rust at all, and Servo's http code is notoriously neglected due to prioritizing development on the layout engine and style engine. At the moment I expect they're in the same boat as ekidd, waiting for the async/await experiments to yield fruit.

Wonder how their surveillance infrastructure works. Do they duplicate all data and pipe it into some government datacenter? Or do they have some surveillance boxes installed on-site that just scan the data for certain keywords (like the NSA supposedly often did it)? Maybe the latter seems more likely since filtering the data first makes the overhead more manageable.
It isn't only the meta aspect but also that it's a piggyback submission, i.e. a spinoff of another. Those tend to get upvotes and diminish variety on the front page. Since front page slots are HN's scarcest resource and the hivemind thrives on variety, we usually moderate follow-up submissions pretty firmly. A better place for correlated links is within the primary thread, where indeed this one is happily situated.

Once everyone's mental caches have turned over a few times, this will make a nice submission in its own right.
More or less. The AM335x SoC that is inside the OSD335x has a number of smaller, more specialized CPUs in addition to the main Cortex A8 CPU. This allows you to off-load smaller, real-time tasks. There are some other good comments in this thread about using the PRUs.
Indeed. Perhaps it would be difficult to replicate what Uber did in SF and other US cities without breaking regulations - but in London, their model is perfectly replicable, as evidenced by the fact that they were originally given a license by TfL.

>> 20 years ago is a bit of a stretch

20 years ago, in 1997, I bought my first -consumer- digital camera, an Epson Photo PC500. It had a resolution of 640x480. If I'm not mistaken, I think I paid around 700 CAD at the time. And the photos weren't even as good as "questionable quality". So I would go even further and say 20 years ago is a huge stretch.
99% of strains isn’t necessarily 99% of all infections, and won’t be anything close to it soon after this gets used in humans.

If one assumes that the different strains also compete against each other the total number of infections may not go down much, and if it does, that may only be temporarily.
Interesting was probably the wrong word. Put cameras in the hands of 1 billion+ people who carry them 90% of the time and you'll get many images that photojournalists just wouldn't historically have been there to capture. [ADDED: And some of those will be inherently interesting.] But to me, quality/composition/control help lead to [most of] the most memorable photos, especially those that aren't just capturing an inherently interesting moment, but mileage on that may differ.
In the 1980s, getting HIV was a quick death sentence.

In the 2010s, getting HIV means that you are likely to live until... Your 70s. (Assuming you have access to medication.)

The problem is that you need to take expensive medication for the rest of your life. And that you can infect other people.

Main selling-points for mirrorless SLRs in my circle of photographer colleagues are:

2. Elimination of mirror-bounce blurring at slow shutter speeds

3. WYSIWYG viewfinder

spacemacs has a notion of transient states with menu systems like that that is a set of hydra menus. something like `spc w .` to get into a window transient state that shows you this menu: https://i.imgur.com/2VADwd9.png

or `spc b .` that gives you a bunch of buffer selection functions https://i.imgur.com/htj6xEn.png

quite useful and pretty easy to add to if you have a niche that is not being fulfilled by the standard spacemacs.

The goal of what folks call "universal web components" isn't
(or shouldn't be) to create a single universal UI library -- that would indeed be a pipe dream.

Instead, the goal is (or ought to be) to create a native, app-directed API for creating and manipulating UI components. HTML and the DOM are a universal content format and API, and we need its equivalent for web apps (as opposed to content).

The web is a strange dualism between content and apps[1], and unfortunately, the app side has been forced to implement its constructs on top of an API that at its most fundamental level is built for presenting content.
