While it's accurate that cine cameras use a human focus puller, its an oversight in this cameras engineering not to include a way to drive the len's focus or the aperture. (Blackmagic's early cinema cameras used these 'dumb' mounts, too, but it frustrated users because they couldn't electrically run the len's controls.)

Having an API for the lens and aperture would have opened it up for developers to use these creatively, such as focusing on one point in the frame and then zipping focus to another point using easing functions.
Startups (and even quite a few more mature companies) seldom match. I'm noticing this in a job search now.
That, IIRC, is the reason for the "a reasonable person looking at the image would think that the persons were real" clause. If it looks real, it is treated the same even if it is staged.

All the new lambos / f-cars are great and Tesla is making exciting things go fast but this... the F1... this is the car to end all cars.

No compromise: engine bay is lined with gold, the v12 designed by bmw’s m division is a smooth fucking monster, driver seat in the center, damn, you need a steel set of balls just to look at this thing.

I’d love to have this job, this is a mechanic dream.
Hello HN, I had created a shader editor with gif generation maybe a year ago. I recently decided to build a rails app to allow users to post gifs. I'd like to add other social features (likes, comments, etc.) when I have some time.

I used Vue.js, gif.js & rails.

The project is on github: https://github.com/antoineMoPa/shadergif

Here's a modern experimental paper. Scroll down to the authors. You'll know it when you see it.

https://cds.cern.ch/record/2282544/files/arXiv:1709.05260.pd...

Your statement about huge numbers of authors (as well as the great number of theoretical papers that have to wait a very long time before being confirmed or denied) is true.
The winter compound will harden and perform worse in freezing temps. The overly soft compound is ok in summer for non agressive driving. If, however, they are 'all season tires', it is time to replace. If you see ANY checking between tread, or on sidewall, it is also time. 6 years is about my cutoff personally, 4 for winters stored out of the sun (for use in winter) and 2 years for r compounds/<200 treadwear tires.

These are all ballpark values I have found by experince, and hersay at the track and on the street. I personally find Blizzak and Nokian to fare best in the winter tire niche. They are both good snow/ice hybrid design now, and often used in rally/rallycross.
> Our biggest challenge is getting customers to use our application, and to use it more often.

That may be your biggest challenge now, but at some point, you may find that in order to overcome that challenge, you need to add major new functionality that requires changing broad swaths of your application. When doing that, you may find that your crash rate becomes unacceptably high as your changes begin violating assumptions you didn't know you were making. That's what unit and integration tests are for, they help expose those assumptions before a user does. This is a common misunderstanding, tests are not about catching bugs in the present, they are about decreasing the risk of adding new functionality in the future. I would go so far as to say that if you're working on a project with a defined end state, where there is zero chance it will ever be expanded past that end state, then automated tests are pointless; spend a lot of time on QA of the end product, shrink wrap it when you're happy with it, and don't look back. But I would also go so far as to say that nobody makes software like that. I certainly haven't ever worked on a project that is unlikely to have major, risky, expansions in functionality during its lifetime.
There's a huge problem with defined contribution plans that isn't in defined benefit plans: the contributions belong to the retiree and get inherited by their children, rather than helping fund seniors as a class.

Ideally you'd want some sort of tontine-like features, where people receive mortality credits based on their contributions and actuarial tables for their age. It'd mean that saving enough for retirement is much more economically feasible.
Client side logout with seemingly no token expiration is a very serious vulnerability, especially for something like Uber where payments are involved.

I addressed those cases in my comment, but I'm specifically talking about stubborn boomers grasping on to shreds of independence and wanderlust when they don't have to.

It seems a significant number of the people featured in these articles fall into that category.
When buying new tires it's also very important to check date of manufacture. A tire can look completely new but been on the shelf for 3 years. tires deteriorate/age over time particularly when exposed to direct light. Tire warranty typically expires at 6 years from purchase.

For any sort of performance or classic car, good tires are paramount, you are literally entrusting the car and your safety to the road contact and adhesion of each tire.

I feel this is anecdotal, with the truth being that there are now more and more alternatives to the JVM for enterprise systems. Which could be one reason why the JVM has been loosing market share over the past few years. Not to say that Java, Scala or Clojure are not great languages. But I think its going to be trend that continues.
Exactly. A different set of goals and compromises is what defines these cars.
It's the other way around... market efficiency is caused by things like this (not only arbitrage, but that's one important factor).

Here's an example (top-left corner, ReasonML syntax): https://reasonml.github.io/try/?reason=LYewJgrgNgpgBAQTGOBeO...

The key idea is delegating the type-specific operations to specific implementations which handle them, and then statically (at compile time) choosing which specific implementation you're calling.

In OCaml (ReasonML) you have to pass in the implementations manually, but Haskell and Scala have the ability to automatically choose the implementation based on the types of the arguments, so that it looks dynamic even though it's static and type-safe.
I recall when the first iPhone came out. People would criticized the missing features, which were inability to copy and paste and no MMS support and Apple apologists would reply with "why would you want that?"

It was pretty surreal.
The popular marketing reason why the pension disappeared is the factory closed.

The real reason the pension disappeared is the proposed vesting duration was ridiculous. I am older so current jobs have no pension of course, but when I worked jobs with pensions, the vesting duration was typically something like 3 to 5 years for 100% vesting, sometimes only 2 years for 50% vesting. In fact I have a pension from a previous employer projected to be worth $800/month which by then will be about the price of one cup of starbucks coffee...

To make it crystal clear, the pension was eliminated when the vesting duration was moved from perhaps 4 years to 30+ years.

Try again, website is back up. May still be slow.
I think you're overreacting to the author's attempt at tongue-in-cheek humor... After all the explicit sarcasm, emphasised by quoting 'cool', turns the tables on the 'twenty-something white males', and makes 'them' (the majority) look the fool. Still, doesn't excuse sexist/ageist remarks, even if they are just pointing out industrial stereotypes.
I might argue konigsegg is quicky eclipsing them in both tech and construction. Freevalve engines, transmissionless, hybrid, and bugatti stomping power. They went 0-250 then back to 0 in the time it took the previous record holder just to make it to 250. Truly next level tech.

That said, the mclaren is still much better tuned for actual racing, for now. Not to be minimized.
I'm getting Uber fatigue. This company has been in the news mostly in a negative sense. It 's lost on me what innovation, technologically, or socially, they have brought to the table.

Instead, perhaps we can focus on how we can fix this sharing economy, so that we can all benefit; not just the ones who happened to raise the most money from shareholders.
Sure, this is going to be the case for long time. But it is still not hard to see many of the road rules chaging/evolving, and many rules becoming obsolete.

There's a substantial body of research suggesting otherwise.
Yeah that's a big one, and an issue with the core of their entire authentication workflow that they cannot fix without invalidating tens of millions of apps or forcing everyone to upgrade. Whenever you sign off of their mobile app there is no communication with the network, they are just erasing the token on the client side.
I don't understand why he didn't make an alert(document.domain), the universal "this is legit" bat signal. Instead, creating some weird form phishing demo?

I think there is more to this story, it sounds like this wasn't a "Cross Site Scripting", but "Content Injection" or "Content Spoofing", a far less serious bug.

You're gonna hate me, but I would award $0 for Content Injection, it's just not a big deal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That reminds me of a SQL code reviewer at my last company. He'd have a standard that we would follow and finally get stuff passed most of the time. After a few weeks, he would read a new article and completely change his passing criteria without telling anyone, so all of our previously passing submissions would then fail. This happened several times over the course of a year. It was very frustrating and rarely helped the overall quality of the SQL.
The target audience hasn't changed. The fans of the original grew out of the demographic, but are still looking at the originals through the rosy tint of their childhood.
> Then they disabled completely the Uber Report Issue button

I don't have enough signal to make a report, but the button doesn't 404 for me, so my guess is you've been shadowbanned.

> then surely they could cite to the prior report or an internal ticket to that effect

Yeah, they should, at least to build the relationship. Public programs have so many erroneous report they probably stopped doing the "nice" thing ages ago.

> But the best part is, when I was reporting various issues to the Bug Bounty, their staff is actively fixing stuff on the backend - that XSS issue they were trying to fix on the backend, but without paying anything for the discovery. I was getting different application responses after the initial report, but only until I gave them more info on the WAF and XSS_Auditor evasion stuff did they finally pull the whole application offline. And then still didn't pay.

If this is true, that's really bad. I'd be curious to hear the other side of the story if there is one.
Where are these people (apparently shoplifters who are too poor to purchase goods, and are therefore stealing them) getting the money to pay for these 'education' courses, in the first place?
If the criminal wasn't better off under those terms, they wouldn't accept them. Extortion actually benefits the criminals, it doesn't hurt them.

In fact the only reason it's illegal is because of that. The state doesn't want criminals to get off easier. Or so parent comment was arguing. If you think the justice system is as bad as you claim, you should prefer Walmarts arrangement.
Regardless of React's minor growth in complexity it still pales in comparison to Angular's api from a new learners perspective. After finishing a project in Angular I still feel dumb to it's central concepts. React made sense before I wrote anything.
I think you will realize, once you have cooled down a bit, that it is exactly people's awareness of how much it costs to own and drive a car in terms of money and mental peace that drives them to use services like Uber.

And yes, I know you were referring to people who drive for Uber.

For many people, the process of owning and driving a car doesn't make overall sense, which is why they pay others to do it for them.

I don't see anyone complaining about how maids have to, oh my gosh, clean houses.
MIRC 2018 for Windows, 7, 8, 10 and MAC Full Version
You are assuming a fully observable environment - where everything is visible. To be honest with you, many bikers are not, or not from every angle possible. Most of the bikes I have encountered do not follow the road signs either (especially lights & stop signs - they just breeze through). With this in mind, given cyclists are the ones in danger (As opposed to the driver sitting in his car), it's safer to give the cyclist a clear sign of a right turn. I have seen way too many times where a cyclist used his judgement to pass through a car in what i call rather dangerous way, so I rather block their path to save their life than to trust them to use their best judgement. Cyclists are often invisible, and more susceptible to injuries, and I am being cautious and not leaving any doubt about when and how I will turn, by blocking the path. When I give a right turn sign, you just cannot pass through me assuming i won't be turning in the next second.

Just to clarify, this was intended as a tongue-in-cheek critique of tech companies that actively project superficial images designed to appeal to specific hiring demographics. I'm sorry if the meaning didn't come across as clearly as I had hoped for, but the statement was meant to be a condemnation of sexism and ageism rather than an endorsement.
Isn't this a Rust interface for TensorFlow?

Consistent style is useful because it reduces cognitive load when reading unfamiliar code, but everyone should have automated tools that do that "95%", and most people don't. This is something that Go got very right by building it straight into the compiler but automatic linter-formatters exist for most languages, and it's useful for someone high up in the early technical team to just pick some flags they like for one of those and integrate it into the review process.

Once you eliminate that 95% overhead (which I think is an exaggeration, but I'll allow it can be high), the value proposition of code review is an absolute no-brainer.

In my opinion Java is great if you want to write big enterprise-y applications but if you just want to get something done or just learn some concepts I would suggest Python. You can do all the same things you can do with Java as a beginner and it will mostly stay out of your way. Python also doesn't require a build system like Java does. You can just write some Python in a plain old text editor and run it without too much trouble. Java on the other hand will require a build system and a full IDE.

IMO with all the other languages available Java just doesn't really offer anything special enough to warrant it's dealing with it's awkward type system and verbosity. Unless you want to do something with Java specifically like Android dev it just doesn't offer anything worth the pain. If want higher performance and the type safety that Python doesn't have I prefer Go. It's syntax is very similar to Python and it has some interesting concepts.

Whatever you choose don't choose based off hype/promises of jobs. Most companies will hire engineers who have never used the language(s) in their stack as long you can demonstrate knowledge of core programming concepts. Python's `list`, Java's `ArrayList` and Go's `slice` might have some slight differences in implementations and different warts and what have you but deep down they are arrays. If you are familiar with the data structures and algorithms core to programming you can learn to use any language to solve problems.

At the end of the day a language is just a tool. The concepts that underpin these tools are what is important. So choose a tool you enjoy using and fits the scenario. Here are some links that were helpful for me, hopefully they will be helpful for you:

I'm a software engineer and hobbyist cinematographer. This camera is meant for people like me.

The reason for a camera like this is to open the tool set up for active development, in a way that traditional camera-makers haven't opened their hardware up for access.

Here's an example: high-ISO shooting. What makes it possible for cameras like Sony's a7s series to shoot in nearly dark conditions? Is it the sensor or have the engineers leveraged the fast CPUs to do real-time noise reduction?

By giving engineers access to the hardware, we could start exploring high-ISO programming. Similarly, we might learn how to auto-calibrate lenses in new ways that could take the cheap 'nifty-fifty' lens, apply machine learning and have it perform like a $3k Zeiss lens.

Even a topic like color science, the holy grail of company's knowledge base like Canon or Alexa, could be explored by a wider audience of scientists and engineers. Until we can get our hands on the hardware thru code, most of this is nearly impossible, except projects like Magic Lantern.

It relies on the fact that nobody takes really original pictures, hence you can build a large enough data set and apply learned techniques/attributes/behavior to "new" pictures. Computer vision = small standard deviation.

Lots of bug bounty programs work out great! But there are a couple of companies I would never try to get a bug bounty from, based on their reputations. Oracle is one, for being litigious fuckwads; Uber is another, for literally everything they do and say.

No, I don’t, sorry. What I can promise you is that you’ll thank yourself for implementing it! There is hardly any additional complexity here because you’d probably be uploading the derived content somewhere anyway. Now you’re just putting in a different place than the source.

You can use whatever queue you’re comfortable with so long as you can pipe the upload events from the bucket into it. The pattern I’m outlining is just a physical separation of buckets to make access control much harder to screw up.

That was transcendental, thank you.

I was just thinking to myself a few days ago that the overlap between tech workers and car nuts is quite narrow. Not many people I know from my professional environment are really into cars. Sure, some can say "this is better than that" or tell a car story or say how some Mini they drove "handled like a go cart" but nearly none of them is a hardcore car nut (e.g. they're more interested in the tech of a Tesla than what a Ferrari V12 feels like).

I'm sure there's a good reason somewhere.
