Ok, thank you. As I understand what you have written, the diffuser does as its name suggests, and spreads light rays over more pixels than they would otherwise have struck, making it easier to construct the pixel -> ray function.

As a matter of interest, do you think it would still be possible to apply the technique without the diffuser, presumably obtaining a lower-fidelity reconstruction, by leaning more heavily on the regularisation?
All this seems a dark side of democracy in a not well educated country. All the political parties do short term work just enough to win the next election and no one cares to plans long term.
And when people are not educated they just don't get complicated perspective, all that understand is here and now leading to all short term band-aid solutions which are harmful for the long term.
Like many emacs things, there more than one. There's also picture-mode. I haven't used either very much, but my sense is that artist-mode is more mouse-oriented and possibly supports more sophisticated drawings but picture-mode may work better in terminals.
I wasn't talking about that and am not taking any kind of side. If you think there's abuse going on, emailing hn@ycombinator.com is the thing to do, and then we can take a closer look.

My point is the orthogonal one that it's incongruent to snarkily diss HN when you're as much a part of the community as anyone else is. It makes no more sense to say "HN got trolled" than "HN debunked getting trolled". People don't do this to be informative, but rather to superciliously position themselves above others. That degrades the spirit of the community here, which is already so fragile. That's why I reply to such comments the way I did.
Or they stop seeing a bunch of their employees interviewing with Bay Area companies. For a team of 55, losing 5 key people to higher Bay Area salaries could cost tens of millions of dollars in lost opportunity. In that context, bumping everyone’s salaries even 30% (say on average 60k*55 = 3.3 million) is not such a big deal. Especially if revenue and income over the past year grew a lot more than that.

Yes, I did mention that they should remove the telephone interviews ideally.

I should have added the fact that skype would solve the issue as well.

But to this day, I don't understand why companies do a telephone interview. Its certainly not cheaper than a skype interview.

Maybe you could argue against a video call by saying that the person might grow a beard/shave their beard, put on weight/ lose weight, change their appearance drastically by the time they come to the first day on the job. Or the interviewee might be at their current job when they are interviewing for the next, so that might throw some people off the process. Thirdly I think some research somewhere might have said that a skype interview is more daunting, and hence less people will apply for the job/qualify to the next round as a result of the stress it causes and the telephone interview is just less stressful on the candidate.

All possible, all equally rubbish reasons imho.
But we ARE talking about retrieving stuff from Mars: the BFS must be returned to Earth to be reused. It's also capable of bringing people back from Mars, and that's supposed to be included in the $200k/person ticket price. Assuming at least 200kg of human plus consumables per person for the trip back, that implies that anything worth at least $1000/kg would be worth sending back.

So I think Musk is actually wrong when he says that he can BOTH send people to Mars super cheap with return tickets AND that there could not possibly be something of enough value on Mars to return to Earth even if you had cocaine ($100,000/kg?) prepackaged on the surface (gold is $35,000/kg or something).

...not that I expect a vibrant Mars export economy or anything. Musk's basic point about not expecting Mars to fully and profitably pay for itself with physical exports is correct.
I think this is an excellent introduction to the tech side.

I do sometimes think that "Getting started" articles should sometimes be prefaced with a "here's who this isn't for" - particularly with architectures designed for scale not simplicity. I tend to think if you're in a situation that demands microservices, you should already know the tech stuff :-) The hard bit about getting started is really reconfiguring the team.
social media to me is breadth first reading, over depth first reading. if i can keep going to the root node and hopping to the next consumable thing with no relationship to the thing i just read, it's breadth first social media.

There is support for efficiently passing data around. You can directly get binary typed arrays from XmlHttpRequest without intermediate processing, and you can pass them around without memory copies to WebWorkers using Transferables.

More recently you have shared typed arrays that work like shared memory between threads (as of Safari 10.1 / Chrome 60, Firefox too)

This feels like a big FU to Intel. I've heard this patch can slow down programs like du by 50%. Does that mean AMD is going to find itself running twice as fast as competitors?
So how much would it cost to send someone to the moon again?
Hypothetically, if the language defined

for i, x := range xs

to have x repeatedly be a new reference to each of xs members, it seems like we'd avoid 2 gotchyas (capture of x by a closure inside the for loop not doing what we want, and #1 in the original article).

I think the downside would be the concept of references doesn't exist anywhere else in Go (so the "for ... range" loop would have to be its own thing, rather than explainable as a transformation to simpler code) & maybe also implementation concerns I don't know about.

But if we were willing to pay the complexity cost it would make the language nicer, IMO. (I'm not saying we should be willing to pay the complexity cost though -- a lot of Go's charm is how much the language leaves out.)

> They pay a non-decent amounts to these test takers, because they are desperate

And because the consequences are low. Anticipated shame [1] is an observed determinant in cheating frequency.

> does no one any good

It deters cheating. This does the honest test takers, e.g. those without the resources to pay "a non-decent amount" to cheat, a favor. It does employers, by being able to better trust exam results, a favor. And as a result, it does the entire economy a favor.

Browsers do a whole lot better than the status quo for apps in the '90s and early 2000s, which was "offer a Windows .EXE to download, and monetize with spyware".
Simply put, we need a lander. If we had a lander, we could use existing rockets to get to Mars via Earth orbit rendezvous (see Gemini, also ISS is regularly refueled and boosted by visiting vehicles). But we spent all of our exploration money on an expensive rocket (and a capsule that is much heavier than it needs to be...).
If you're worried about storing your passwords somewhere where they could be compromised, one alternative is to simply not store them:

1. Generate a long random password.

2. Use that password once, but don't make any effort to store or remember it.

3. When you need access to the service, use the Forgot Password flow. Return to Step 1.

This is admittedly inconvenient, especially on mobile, and it won't work well if you routinely use devices that cannot access your email. But...it is an alternative approach that removes the need for a password manager.

In my personal experience, this approach has worked well for services I use rarely, especially those with good Forgot Password flows or long remember-me session times.

See also: Passwordless[0] is a Node library that discusses a similar approach to authentication from the service's perspective.

That's because majority of the "threats" in GG were cooked up by the "victims" themselves. It is not illegal to make a threat against yourself.
Invertibility is not trivial, and because full-field imaging is typically shift-variant this is a hard sell compared to Hartmann mask ( or lenselets) approaches which have none of the calibration steps.

Gem Series: Ruby Project Automation & Database Doc Tools - Yuki & Moto Bookshelf
You're welcome. I can't share the numbers, but I believe most software engineers are eventually operating at the senior engineer level within under a decade of professional engineering experience.
There’s plenty of underlying mathematics and formulae (albeit being conjectures, probably not many overarching theorems for these specific theories yet). However I expect they decided against printing anything ’mathematical’, probably because the notation would be so dense with additional meanings it would be likewise indistinguishable from gibberish (for the layman, at least).
I totally understand why they need/want to change their pricing model, and support it even. I don't understand why they've bundled a change in the product along with it and that's what I take issue with.

I'd happily pay them $5/mo to continue using their product as I've been using it - with local vaults, not with their cloud product.

I won't take their product for free if it comes with a forced "upgrade" to the cloud service.

See SF’s muni train for an example of this double disadvantage. the trains run slowly and unpredictably stopping at red lights with the traffic
Why would that matter? The bitboard representation allows for multiple pawns per column.
depending on what short routes means,
airports are generally out of the way, and there are ridiculous check-ins and screenings that just makes them less feasible. you can add +1 hour for each.

Say I want to fly from Philadelphia to NYC, add more than 2 hours for getting to/from airports, and check-ins/screenings. But I can take a train in an hour and a half, and that drops me off in manhatan. I didnt even need to get de-belted, de-shoed, and throw away my sun screen and water bottle. And I wont be bumped off my seat because some senator doesn't like to book tickets in a timely manner.

humiliations aside, when I use to fly pittsburgh/philadelphia, i found that the train or bus was not a significant increase in time. The train/buses I could take and get off in the city centers, where as the airports added additional 2.5 hours time. but when you factored in waiting 30 minutes to get my baggage from baggage claim, time spent sitting on the runway, time having to show up early to get checked in and numerous security lines, it wasn't that much savings in time. I was paying about 300$ for 1.5-2 hour savings in time for a much more stressful experience.
That's like saying the internet is associated with illegal drug distribution because sometimes people buy drugs over it. It's true, but not representative. That's not how most reasonable people would summarize it.

To be fair, the plane was full when I was on it, but maybe that was because of the cancelled flights (one of them ours) that were rebooked onto it.
> Curiosity and wonder are the motivation for understanding, even among researchers.

Right, and the layperson is just interested in those first two things, whereas the researcher follows through to the point of understanding. Or maybe they don't. Someone who does research is not necessarily interested in understanding every single field either.
There are lots of languages in which values and pointers are different that do not have these gotchas.

I suspect it's like laughing gas. It has more to do with making the patient not care as much about the pain (distraction) rather than direct pain management though numbing / blocking receptors.
As always, my main concern with this is traction. Will this be well supported, with a good community, 4 years down the line? I know React will, just because of the massive amounts of business depending on it. When building something real, i have to think about this because i need to be able to hire developers and actually develop my product instead of rewriting it.

That aside, the idea of svelte is cool, and i'm happy they're continuing to build on that. Excited to see what comes out of this!
- Mindset by Carol Dweck. Taught me a lot about just grinding/practicing.

Which is what your sibling comment mentioned. The author does touch on that approach but never touches on the drawbacks, some of which I mentioned in my other comment and some which are directly in conflict with the benefits of UUIDs. My point is merely that there are other details that a MSSQL user should take into consideration before simply following the author's suggestion. A novice MSSQL user might be better off with auto incrementing bigints in a way a novice user of a different RDBMS might not.
It's 2D, because they record a field U(x,y) and then propagate it up and down by convolving with a 2D function. This works for mesoscopic structures but not for small things like human cells.
If you have been using Erlang professionally and you have been running a Russian Erlang forum I wonder why you keep mixing up Erlang ´the language´ and OTP, BEAM and the ecosystem. They are not the same thing, and Erlang the language does not make any of the claims you are ascribing to it. Nor does the Erlang community, which is not nearly as visible as most of the other online language communities because it is just people getting their work done instead of hanging out in fora and trying to hijack the discussion about how everybody should switch to Erlang tomorrow because it is ´the next big thing´. Rather the opposite.

Anyway, it looks as if you have made up your mind and no matter what examples I put forward you have your reasons for ignoring them so thank you for the exchange.

If anything the scenario you describe is helpful to those of us who choose to live in high cost of living areas. Folks like you aren't going to move here, and some who are here will happily move to a lower cost of living area to bank the difference. The net here is a decrease in local labor supply.

Interesting ... I've usually quit when I've been reasonably OK with the pay but the work no longer is interesting, the company culture changes, or I'm disturbed by the company's direction and don't think it will last. The switch has always translated to higher compensation as well.
