This mostly all translates to math equations, and with data oriented design a computer can crunch through this stuff extremely quickly. But this kind of stuff is why C++ is still popular - determinism is really important to get consistent performance at this low level. Also shader code is quite restrictive in order to keep performance up.

How is this a startup? You can't scale it fast, it's not using an innovative business model, it's not driven by tech at all.

It's just a normal company trying to offer a better service at higher prices — which is okay — you don't need to slap a startup label on everything.

The medium piece was a great read. Kudos to everyone involved!
Pos token.Airdrop
Friends, we present you a start-up, which is called PoStoken - the world's first Pruf of Stake smart token on the platform of Efirium. This system token is erc 20 and which of course follows the erc standard 20 and implements all standard methods. Postoken is a new crypto currency in the market, which operates using a mechanism called Proof of Steak. that is, this mechanism allows the owners of Postoken to receive more tokens due to the simple retention of this token in the course of three days. The goal of the developers of this token was to start a new era of crypto tokin, which they plan to achieve thanks to Postoken and the Proof of Steak mechanism. So in order to participate in the bounty of the company you need to register. at the usual registration you get 5 Tokens and for each registration on your referral link you also receive 10 Tokens PostStock. But there is one BUT, in order to register you must have an account for Bitcoinstall. that is, in the form of registration, the first item you specify is your AIDI. who has this profile - go to this forum and find your goal. for this click here the tabbed profile, select the Show States, copy this one here is the number, or just remember and prescribe it in the form to fill the first line. Next, write to the email address, password and pass confirmation. So after registration you get to your office, where you will receive a free air drop in the amount of 5 tokens, that is, you have received 5 of these posts and below you will see the bounties of the programs that are available here: these are the signatures on the forum if you click on any topic , you will be shown what actions you will need to do, the company on Twitter, the company, the company of signatures and the referral program, that is, you will receive 10 tokens for each person who registers with your link and necessarily passes the authorization system .

That paper was written by high school students; the only thing MIT about that paper is the hostname. It reads like a fun project but after skimming I would not consider it something authoritative on whether golang (or csp) is a better mechanism for writing a userspace network stack.

This implies the problem is lack of understanding on behalf of the payees. You said what you know, therefore I understand you would not expect to be paid 100% "fairly" and you wouldn't get mad if paycheck information was open to your co-employees.
I've moved 25 times. only once have I hired movers and they stole a TV. Having moved so many times I learned the key is to have absolutely everything packed in boxes and or in a state that's ready to move on moving day. if it's all packed it will take < 2 hrs to put it all on a truck and even less to unpack from the truck. If it's not ready to go and any kind of packing had to happen on the day it has always taken 3x to 5x the time.
So many reasons!

* In order to get CRISPR to fit inside a virus you have to remove all the viral DNA, so it can't reproduce.
* Even if you could make such a virus, there would be enormous selective pressure to ditch the CRISPR proteins, and there's no pressure maintaining the CRISPR or guide RNA sequence, so it would be inactive pretty quickly
* Race isn't well-defined genetically so it might not even be possible to target a group of interest
* Bombs are cheap and a proven technology
So you feel that if you knew that other consumers paid different prices for the same products but that information wasn't available to you that would be fine?

That would be the equivalent analogy. That you know you are paying the same price for bananas from the corner store as everyone else.
You're probably right there. There is pressure to release because of competitors (like BF, and CoD used to do) and because customers start to expect it.

But better code quality can also mean losing less time fixing bugs that could have been prevented in the first place. Thus, actually reaching the expected release date, but attention focussed elsewhere.

I'm not familiar enough with that world though to really understand how complex their code is. As you said, I assume libraries such as UE, CryEngine, .. take care of the truly hard bits.
Against the vice of asking there is the virtue of refusing.
I read the article. I just wanted to show that they do more then just what is in the article, because the article points them in a pretty particular way, whatever your opinion of the article is.
> Surveys done shortly after this found that employees who went to the website and discovered they were paid below the median for their peers were much less satisfied on average with their jobs and more likely to express an intent to depart than those who were paid below the median but didn’t receive the prompt to compare their pay. So in this case, full pay transparency encouraged greater overall dissatisfaction and possibly turnover—the exact opposite of the power that full transparency has in the right situations to motivate employees and attract talent.

What really makes people unhappy: telling them that they are underpaid, or underpaying them?
> When someone asks for evidence, they don't necessarily need citations. You could just refer to something they already know, and provide a logical argument from there.

Maybe that's the case in the lunch room in an academic department, but it's definitely not the case in internet forums. When someone demands evidence on a forum, they don't mean "walk me through it", they mean "show me the external source that supports it". They mean 'evidence' like a lawyer or a historian would use the term, not 'logical reasoning'.

Ask HN: How to handle my Bitcoin ATM stock
I developed a bitcoin atm software and have the possibility to (slowly) roll it out on hundreds of cash-in/out devices.
Everything works fine, but I am just wondering how to handle my bitcoin stock with the insane volatile bitcoin market price... I have to buy in advance and not on demand to reduce fees, and I know it should average over time.. but it seems very risky..
are there other ideas to be able to transfer bitcoins immediately or get bitcoins on demand with very low fees?
It's fairly common to use Docker to run other services (database, cache, etc.) needed when developing a web app.
Ask HN: Has anyone tried 'converting' a real-time path tracer to use FPGA?
I have seen a few demos of real-time path tracing software running on GPUs. I know GPUs are fast, but I wonder if there is a way to do the same math on an ASICs or FPGA that could be even faster? The main issue with existing things seems to be being able to do enough iterations to get a clear picture.
I couldn't find tool (at least not free one) so I made this simple command line tool that analyses data in Mongo database and reconstructs data model, along with "relations" or let's call it "foreign keys" (I know... Mongo is not relational database, but we still have relations).

Enjoy! :)
I hope you like kids. All my biology teachers in high school had done research degrees and found that there were not very many research jobs available.

This is just capitalism at work; in the game industry there is no guaranteed reward at the end of the development cycle, so you have to keep up the pressure in order to beat out your competitors, and increase your chances of winning. This leads to crunching, 60 hour weeks and mass layoffs when you lose - lookup any of the top AAA game companies on Glassdoor and you will find they are awful places to work (Projekt Red, Rockstar, the now extinct Crytek, EA - consistently voted 'Worst Company', etc).
I'm just saying that 1 in 10000 (or whatever) false positives is a very poor metric for day to day usability. I agree a lot is unclear, including the data they do provide. Sure, it may still be a killer feature that, in practice is much better and safer than a fingerprint reader, I have no idea.
You know everyone in HR and many of the employees who are friends with people in HR know your salary right?
There is another argument being made, that people become miserable if they compare their wages, because many people fail at correctly assessing their own value.

When you become a tenured professor, the amount of work you do is far less than the vast majority of other jobs with a similar salary. The only real commitments are the classes you have to teach and if you minimize the amount of teaching you do, you'll barely be working at all. I knew a history professor that would come into the university for his 1 or 2 classes per week and then would go home for the rest of the day(s). He made 100k+. Not to mention that there are some professors at my university who make close to or over 300k/year and do not teach, but they are much more rare and have fat CVs. The other side of the coin is that before you get tenure, you may be working a lot for very little and only when you're close to 40 (on average) will you be granted tenure.
From personal experience I run a high quality filter in my bedroom. In september we had serious (just straight up hazardous) air quality issues and you couldn't even appreciably detect smoke in my room or the nearby rooms. Walking outdoors felt like wandering into a cigar bar.

Personal recommendations for the IQAir brand, and hearsay discussion that Austin Air also makes good products. Costs about $120-$180 a year, worth every penny.

hunters originally only wanted to 'preserve' what they wanted to kill... otherwise we'd still have wolves, grizzlies, and other predators of all sizes, at their historic populations. likewise, certain hunters favorites wouldn't be dealing with population issues now. the ranchers have done the most harm though, they seem to want to kill everything, imo.
yes Delancey Street is great. They also sell xmas trees!
They may consider the possibility, feel intense despair about it, and work to avoid thinking about it in order to avoid feeling the intense negative feelings that come with something they regard as catastrophic.
I fail to see how those sources show that Pai is engaging in corruption.

It sounds like you're saying, "I don't like what he does, so he must be getting bribes."

I think he is doing great damage, and that Congress needs to step in and codify into law what he is rolling back. That said, bizarre claims only serve to weaken the position that we share: that the FCC is serving industry at the expense of the public good and consumers.
Indeed, that's what I meant by "most hardware", but that hardware is definitely outside the reach of most people right now. Firstly, consoles don't support adaptive sync, and most tv's don't either, so that eliminates all PS4/XB1 (and their derivatives). Then to actually get a screen with GSync, you're talking ~350 pounds [0] for an entry level one, and realistically you're going to need a medium to high-end graphics card (looking on nvidia's website seems their support is actually far better than I expected it to be). Unfortunately, for the majority of people adaptive sync is still a few years off, and I'd be surprised if we saw it this decade.

Yes? You're looking at an entire vertically integrated software-hardware business built to make this possible.

A GTX 1060 has 4.4 TFLOPs of processing power. 1920 * 1080 = 2073600 pixels per frame, or 125 million pixels per second. Divide that into 4.4T and you get a budget of max 35,000 operations per pixel. That's quite a lot. In practice you will often spend time waiting for textures to arrive from RAM.

The techniques themselves have also been built up over decades. There's a lot of giants to stand on.
Then they'll tell you about what they do for their kids, or how they organise their local squash club or charity ... It's really not asking a lot to demonstrate transferrable skills outside of a day job.
SAP bribery saga and scandal

Per Isostatic's point, Ive not worked with satellite comms but did work on tracing financial transaction links all over the world. It al went by cable and I remember having the conversations about why we didn't use satellites. The latencies are terrible. In yet another life I spent some time working in Saudi Arabia, the compound had a satellite internet connection and it was terrible. The bandwidth itself was fine, but the delay between clicking something and getting a response was painful.

The main problem is that most current satellite communications goes to geosynchronous birds that are a long way out from earth. The low earth orbit constellations companies like SpaceX are working on should mostly avoid the latency issues because the hop up to the satellite and back down again should be only a couple of hundred klicks instead of the 35,000 km plus, about three earth diameters, out to GTO.
Also the people who buy business apps are often not the people who actually have to use them every day. So UI/UX ends up being a much lower priority than say cost.
This is why I like minimalist 3D graphics.
I would not have noticed this opportunity because Google hangouts is just one tab/new window away.

The lesson for me here is not to care about competitors.
> No full-system boot delay helps

I just cold-booted a Vagrant VM, which is configured to check for new base-box versions (i.e. a network delay that can be disabled).

If your argument about tooling is around performance and the "slow" one takes just 40 seconds to start, I think you need to clarify how often you expect to be starting this tool in a day.

> Cached layers help.

Helps what, exactly?

> Not dealing with vm-specific kernel modules helps.

I don't even know what you're talking about here. Do you mean you need to have a hypervisor kernel module? What exactly do you need to "deal with"?

> Fast non-nfs volumes shared with the host help.

I've never once used an NFS volume in a Vagrant guest. In case you weren't aware, Vagrant is not limited to using VirtualBox.

> There are speed benefits for containers all over the place - both in time spent dealing with the environment and in actual execution.

You haven't actually identify any environment issues you need to "deal with", just said "X helps".
People get into the games industry for the "intrinsic reward" (ie they think it's cool) rather than the money or the working conditions. The games industry exploits this badly.
If you know that your coworker makes more you have valuable information the next time you are negotiating a raise. You have a good attitude about the larger picture for sure, but some of those coworkers making more than you are only doing so because they had more insight into how hard they could push in negotiation.
Seriously now, how many hours does it take to start a simple project in a technology you're familiar with? I get it, you want time for your hobbies and programming might not be one of them. However if getting a job is important to you, is it so hard to spend some hours writing a piece of software that's maybe related to your hobbies?

> The silly art project that I launched in Austin. My dog business. Running, painting, writing.

Take any of these hobbies and write a small application related to it. Don't do it because "code speaks to you", do it because it's important to get a job. Do one application, spend some hours on it, and be done with it.

> It's important to me that these attributes be valued by my workplace.

I don't think that's reasonable. I have many great people at my workplace, some of them have become good friends. But really nobody gives a damn I do 3D modeling in my spare time and I don't see how that would make things better. People know I enjoy designing visual stuff, and they always come to me for advice on colors and UIs, but that's about it. And my design hobby is valued because it brings value to the team and the project.

Interviewing is a contest. Some people prepare more than others. Some learn body language, some study the company before interviewing, others prepare side projects to show. If you're unwilling to do anything that puts you one step ahead of the crowd, don't complain about the interviewing process. It's a game. Within reason optimize for success. Don't just complain about how unfair it is.
Do you think publishing pay bands would be OK, similar to what happens for government employees? So you knew the say 5-10k band that someone was in, but not their place in that band.

Yes, it is normal to tinker with new stuff to get acquainted with it. It is, however, not the same thing as publishing results of that tinkering on e.g. github, or blogging about it as if you want to break some posts-per-month record.

I do not get this obsession with putting everything out there. I have a huge local directory with my old test programs, PoCs, started but abandoned ideas, etc. I regularly try new stuff, new libraries, programming languages, what have you. But my github account is empty.

The internet needs less stuff on it, not more.
A lot of air purifiers come with activates carbon pre-filters that should take care of most volatile organic compounds. I'm not sure how effective they are in practice but this paper suggests that activated carbon is used in aqueous solutions to remove PAH; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26820781

So you're probably better off than not buying one of these things

For those who don't know, wax cylinders were one of the first ways to record sound. The predecessor of vinyl records.
> It was designed for normal people to be able to get in touch with famous people or vice versa

Not so sure about this. Wasn't it just designed to broadcast messages among people who knew each other. The celeb focus came later.

I'd also say it doesn't help that your onboarding focuses greatly on what celebs you're going to engage with on the service.
Of course porn addiction is real, but not everyone is addicted to porn. In-fact, the vast majority of porn viewers are not. I'm %100 sure that social media addiction is more prevalent and more destructive to those who have it. When I watch porn, I do so until I reach orgasm, and then I'm satisfied for at least 24 hours. I find hacker news to be FAR FAR more addictive and destructive. Porn helps me sleep, HN is quite the opposite ;).

That multiple potential mates theory is a pretty silly reason to hate on porn. Anyone who lives in a major metro area and rides public transport is absolutely overwhelmed with close contact with beautiful women and I don't see that as being somehow harmful or destructive. By that same logic we should go full on Saudi/ISIS and force everyone to wear hijab!
