I really love this approach, I have been thinking about it for some time now... However, as much as I like it, it seems that implementing a GraphQL server is not an easy task, and getting an in-depth understanding of how GraphQL works seems quite challenging.

I can devote a few days to read the JSON-API spec (http://jsonapi.org/) and get a pretty good understanding of it. I wish there were a way to consume JSON-API based APIs in the same declarative way GraphQL provides.

I'm thinking that a library that "translates" GraphQL queries to JSON-API requests will be a great solution.
"Family friendly" and morality are not global concepts though.
Things that might be ok in NL/DE might offend half of the US, things that the US doesn't care about might offend secular countries in the middle east.

If you want to be a global platform, morales are tricky to get right.

I believe it's best to let the consumer decide. Force people to mark their content as adult and hide adult content by default. Maybe with age verification to enable it, for countries that want that?
You're confusing Gibbs-Heaviside vectors with linear algebra. Linear algebra is the study of linear spaces and linear operators between them. Endowing those spaces with a norm or a dot product is usually as far as linear algebra courses go.
California is at will but they do have specific laws and procedures for mass firings and layoffs. I think Tesla is trying to skirt these by calling them performance related instead of layoffs. (And to protect their stock price from having to admit they can't afford all their workers.)

I wouldn't even know how to go about tipping my delivery person(s). I started home delivery of a newspaper last fall and the service got pretty bad right after the holidays (the paper is now consistently halfway down the lawn rather than on the covered front porch, where it was ending up consistently before Dec 2016). I'd be happy to tip, but the billing and payment is all handled online, and this is a person I've literally never laid eyes on. Parcel delivery suffers from the same problem. I'm a heavy user of Amazon, but never present when UPS comes.

Technically, this question is perhaps solved long back, but still. At a very high level, how is this implemented? I assume following is happening:

1) Camera is connected to our home WiFi and streams video to a server on Amazon cloud, tied to our account. Free plan has content saved for 24 hours. Spec says "Up to 1080p Full HD resolution" and "Up to 30 FPS resolution". What's the upload bandwidth requirements on this?
2) Alerts/Notifications are treated with urgency.
3) The app on our mobile device pulls the feed from cloud (and notifications gets pushed).

Is this right, in a hand wavy sense?

Curious to know the tech stack behind this.
That's not what specific impulse is... Or at least, I've never heard it explained that way.
Certainly no chemical thruster has a specific impulse in the thousands. The SSME was the most efficient chemical rocket for a long time, with an Isp of ~450 seconds.

Specific impulse is directly proportional to exhaust velocity, and the units of "seconds" come dividing the
velocity (m/s) by the acceleration of gravity (m/s^2) leaving 'seconds'.
The source code is very pleasant to read - both in terms of layout and variable names.

The main reason Sony killed OtherOS was that they began to think it could be used to circumvent copy protection for games. In Kinect's case I'm guessing the pricing was set at least in part with the idea that the games would make up for low-to-negative profit margins.
Occipital still produces the Structure Sensor [1], which uses similar technology to the 1st generation Kinect. They've also recently introduced the Structure Core [2], a new generation, miniaturized depth sensor designed to be embedded into anything that needs that kind of sensing.

This letter reflects very poorly on the writer(s). You would think Patreon is the difference between life and death for them (they basically say as much). You would think that without Patreon, nobody would be interested in their creations. I'm sorry but -wow-. You've got other ways to collect payments from people who support your work... and if you have a fanbase already, I'm not sure where the problem lies in moving off the platform. In fact, that would send a much stronger message to Patreon, at which point the financial and traffic hit would probably cause someone up the line to reconsider their position. And if not, better for both parties anyway.

At the end of the day, Patreon is a private company that owes nothing to anybody except its shareholders. And I don't blame them for implementing subjective NSFW filters, that is their prerogative, and they didn't set out to create a camshow site at the end of the day.

Adults whinging is becoming the white noise of the internet.
Navicat, has a backup feature that you can schedule. I think Mysql workbench has a back up feature but I don't know if you can schedule it.
This is a shame. I mean, yeah, it was a pretty awkward gaming accessory, but outside the context of gaming people were doing some pretty fun things with it. A powerful sensor at a ridiculously cheap cost that you could use to create amazing things, provided of course your imagination wasn't weighed down by the latest dumb tech trend. That last statement is just as true now as it was when the Kinect originally came out.

Gives me some strange feels about the current state of the tech economy. The Kinect is being retired at the same time Amazon and Google are caught up in a dumb contest to see who can produce the best hockey-puck-sized speaker that can add items to your shopping list. As overwhelmingly large as tech giants like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Apple are, they seem mostly resigned to following trends, as opposed to creating new ones.

Don't forget, smartwatches originated from a highly successful Kickstarter campaign. Same can be said for VR. Bitcoin, and blockchain by extension, originated from a white paper published by someone who's still to this day a complete mystery.

Tech giants are very much capable of generating cash, but are damned by their inability to create gold.
Basically yes. Perhaps "problematic conduct with peers" is poor wording or maybe it refers to some harrassment crackdown or maybe it's due to financial problems, really it could be any number of things but because it's Tesla the union connection is what comes to mind. Regardless it's obvious they're firing people for something they don't want to be connected to and using 'performance' as a smoke screen.
You should take a look at the Chambers and Ungar papers on the implementation of Self. In Self, _everything_ is theoretically done through message send/dispatch. This includes field access, numerical operations, flow control... the works. (In a language with prototypical inheritance too.)

What's interesting is that by the time they're done with their optimizations, they manage to get relatively close (x2, iirc) to native speed by essentially inlining everything they can and keeping enough metadata around that they can retain the dynamic properties of the languauge. Impressive stuff. (Which is probably why Sun hired them early in the Java/JIT days.)
I am interested to see how the patent side of this shakes out, it seems to be a minefield for video codecs. Is there some scenario where going open source exposes the authors/companies involved to potential trouble?

First job, I'm going to be vague as we did fix it but it was still rather horrifying to be a part of.

I was in V&V at the time, not yet a developer (professionally). We had a maintenance task, an old system that was built some 15+ years before any of us [0] had started working for this company. Fine, it's normal. Pull up the various documents (requirements, specs, design, test plan). Test plan? Hah! It was only 50 or so pages. It was nowhere near comprehensive enough to verify the system behaved correctly. So we started expanding it. We set up our test stations and started flipping switches and developing new plans. Crap. Within a week we found a problem. Some background: These are safety systems. We made (for this particular project) the sensors that would be positioned in various places (think smoke or heat detectors) and the box that aggregated the results. We then sent the aggregate results to a control panel.

So I said we took input from multiple sensors. The test plan had each sensor tested individually. Trigger a smoke alarm on A, see it gets reported. Trigger a smoke alarm on B, see it gets reported. We decided to trigger multiple simultaneous alarms. I mean, it wasn't an explicit requirement but it was certainly a reasonable derived requirement.

Odd. Only the first alarm shows up. Trigger A, see A. Trigger B while A is still on, still only see A. Alright, try the other way. Shit. Same behavior, but you only see B.

Ok, fine. What happens if we clear the alarm on A and then trigger B. Oh god. B never gets reported.

This is the primary responsibility for these systems. If they aren't doing this, they have zero value. Essentially, you would only be able to deal with one emergency. And until a system reset, you would never be able to see any others.

Another guy and I raised quite a stink but we were both too young to want to risk our careers by escalating this too high. We left it about 3 levels above us (the systems engineer). Within a year he and I were both gone, that had left a bad taste in my mouth and he had been needing a change for a while anyways.

Being fairly vague because the quality of new software was actually pretty high. And from my former colleagues it's only improved since I left. But those old systems...

> The anti-PC crowd immediately latched onto these few sentences and now HN top upvoted thread is all about how the letter made the HN crowd feel uncomfortable.

I'm pro-PC and have routinely come out in defence of the concept here on HN. Last year there was a rash of MRA crap on HN, and I was arguing against it regularly. I also have no problem with porn itself, and view it myself. Now, all this being said, the opening paragraph in the article is ridiculously overwrought and childish. It reeks of tribal politics - if you can't understand why "the other side" never accepts what you have to say, it's because of hyperbole like this. It's the left-wing's version of "Won't somebody think of the children" that gets stuck everywhere it can, regardless of veracity[1]?

Keep in mind that this is what the letter is basically implying: "Patreon has to support pornography because blacks/queers/disabled people will die if they don't". As someone else pointed out, it's positioning Patreon to be painted as a bigot if they don't back down. Patreon can't put in a rule saying "pornography is okay, but only if you're PoC/disabled/homosexual", so what the letter is actually demanding in real terms is full support of pornography. Did you notice that just like Patreon and the Supreme Court, the letter author did not provide a clear definition of pornography versus adult content, to perhaps guide Patreon? Since it's a fuzzy line no matter where it's drawn, the only way to satisfy the author is to allow porn outright.

The author is free to make those claims - business is business, and stretching the truth is pretty normal when your business is under siege - but we shouldn't be taking the comments on face value and defending them. They should be scrutinised like any other business missive.

> These sentences correctly show that this change disproportionately affects some (minority) communities.

The sentences claim it. They don't show it, correctly or otherwise.

> When cis white men get threatened with losing their livelihoods by over-active PC campaigners, do you complain that the fact that they are cis white men features in the story?

How often do those stories come up? Which livelihoods are being lost by over-active PC campaigners? But yes, here on HN if an article does lead off with a sob story, usually someone will complain, particularly if it's long-form journalism. Hell, people routinely complain about sensationalism in article titles here, often without even visiting the link.

[1] Possibly the most remotely-detached of these arguments I've seen so far: in my home state, the right-wing party argued against a new public holiday with "won't somebody think of the children". One more public holiday than the next state over > businesses will go there instead > your children won't have jobs. Seriously. "Won't somebody think of the children" used against a public holiday...

Machine learning is not pixie dust.
No, that's not really what I'm saying. A black hole is a just a region that light can't escape from. It is entirely possible for the inside of the black hole to be composed of normal, everyday matter, non-singularity matter. The Schwartzchild radius scales linearly with mass, an unusual relationship that means that for any density the O(r^3) volume will eventually be overtaken by the O(r) Schwartzchild radius.
That is a great counterexample. My inclination is to agree with you that the only equitable way to resolve such issues is more local government and less power at the state level.
Seems like a perfect opportunity to create a Patreon for adult only content.

Query whitelist: Not trivial to do (properly) from scratch, but seems to be well-supported in library form.

Complexity caps: Depends on the server implementation. Sangria (Scala implementation) has it built in. For others, i'm not sure. It would be easier to add a depth cap, but a complexity cap is more useful. I think whitelisting and.or rate-limiting is the way to go if you're actually concerned about your GraphQL server being abused though.

On the other hand, when and where I was an undergraduate, if you were "still struggling to learn programming" after the first couple of semesters of programming and data structures (taught by aforementioned "CS education" people), then you were pretty thoroughly hosed.

Synology NAS, and some IP cameras you found online somewhere (it is simpler to ask which cameras doesnt Synology support).

As an added bonus, you get a really nice NAS.
