Wow, thanks for this response. It sounds like you should go for a phd in VR/AR non-game HCI. I like that you added AR or something like it, do the passthrough cameras do edge detection with motion compensated infill (more pixels come through the closer/faster they move) so one doesn't feel cut off from the outside world?

Too bad the IMU finger gloves are so expensive, doesn't make sense since the sensors are only $9 each qty 1. Using gloves like these [0] along with a HMD that had integrated wide field cameras could have great finger tracking support.

Certainly people on both sides were accused of that but the idea that Black Lives Matter was actually just a Russian plot is frankly pretty repellent, and that paper in the end just defers to Twitter's ideas of who's a Russian troll, and how did they decide? We've seen a lot of really shoddy work in this department.
I think the complexity of solutions has gone up (especially in webdev), it seems to me perhaps complexity has gone up way further than actual requirements or new features would suggest...

Which seems to end up meaning productivity has gone down when measured by "things end users of websites can do", even though modern FE devs end up creating much more code and html and css than "the old days". (Admittedly, if you include privacy invasion, user tracking, and various other requirements of surveillance capitalism, dev productivity has probably skyrocketed...)
Or even just having your provider distribute the load of a number of servers. The same FastCGI handlers will startup on many actual machines, providing a measure of scaling.
Adding iodine has generally been a huge success.

Wikipedia: "Worldwide, iodine deficiency affects about two billion people and is the leading preventable cause of intellectual and developmental disabilities."

Wikipedia also lists sources for this claim.

Edit: if anybodys doctor told them to be careful with iodine then they should listen to their doctor instead of listening to random strangers on the internet. I'm just pointing out that there is good reasons why we started adding iodine to salt.

Minor unrelated complaint, but when you write "hiring(1)" like that, it immediately makes me think there's an unknown man page I need to read rather than a footnote reference. In my experience, citations and footnotes generally use brackets, e.g. "hiring[1]".
Mostly, many MDM providers support a system known as "Android for Work" or more genericly "Work Profile" which separates your device into two profiles and very little data passes between the two.

I've been doing some testing on my end on how well the separation is using Google's "Android Enterprise" MDM which you can setup yourself (for free), then put your Employer's MDM inside a Work Profile.
Usually because they have different usage patterns.

Chess API is a daily cycle between 10-1,000 TPS and is CPU intensive.
Haiku is uaually 1-10 TPS apart from Fridays (when everyone's device gets a new one) and holidays when it spikes to 100,000 TPS and is IO intensive.

Scaling a single service with both these API endpoints being called for different pattens like the above is a pain. Splitting them allows for choosing different host types (e.g. More CPU or Memory / SSD etc.) and makes scaling (especially planned / dynamic scaling) easier.

I've dabbled but I don't use es6 much. I assume you assumed that because how the build tools allow you use es6 and compile to a lesser es. A good chunk of what I write is used by devs so I don't necessarily avoid es6 due to browser compatibility, I just haven't found there to be a ton of useful features in es6. Variable scope has never been an area of concern for me; I've always used snippets, which covers most syntactic sugar; and I definitely don't want to start using OOP in JS.
My thought? E-waste.

This is how I got my first computers; obsolete and broken computers cast off by people wealthier than I was. [1] It's great, because you get to learn how to fix the computer as well as whatever it is you learn on the computer. I imagine my life experience is super different from those you are helping, but I can tell you that early experience fixing obsolete computers has vastly helped my career.

It is a lot more labor intensive, because you have to have someone to teach the kids how to fix the damn things, (for me, my dad and a copy of minasi's "upgrading and repairing PCs") but once you have that skillset locally? it's probably sustainable, because the rich will always be throwing out last years gadgets.

In some ways it will be way easier for you than for me; when I grew up in the '80s and '90s, there wasn't a lot of standardization, so with my 'catch as catch can' hardware acquisition strategy, I'd have to completely change my software stack every time I got new hardware. These days? Most educational software runs in a browser (I use and heartily endorse Khan Academy for the parts of learning that can't be done from a book alone) and so you can have a diverse fleet of hardware and even operating systems, and as long as you have enough local skill to bring the things up to the point where they can run a browser, you should be good to go.

The big problem with this plan is power; Nicer gear from the aughts ought to run a browser just fine, but it will chew up a lot more power. If you have to pay for unsubsidized electricity, more modern gear might make more sense.

[1]There was also this really juicy (for me) sense of acquiring "means of production" - I owned these computers that others had cast off as worthless or broken, and I turned them into a useful resource for myself. I think that if you could work something out so that the kid in question gets to keep the computer they fix... that might be extra gratifying. I know it was for me.
"The government" that line suggests to me that the IN-Q-tel investment must have deeper significance.

All that facial geometry data sure can be useful.
I def prefer the quiet. Avid music fan, ears blown from 2 decades of festivals, clubs, and chonic headphoning. Certain beats on the stereo are good but I won't do headphones anymore. Final problem with headphones in office is political, visually implies being closed with a good margin of false positives and negatives.

I've no data, but my life programming with constant music started in offices to cope and I think I am better without the blaring noise. I've made other substantial changes that I think made desire for loud noises generally be negated. I think I am way more sharp now, similar to 17yo self before headphone coping began
Maybe go to where hardcore stuff is done? Compilers or Spaceships satellites airplanes? I've no idea... :/ Tell me if you find one. I just stopped it and started drawing again at least anyone can 'see' it. Well modern art is a lot of bullshit too ;)
How to Study: A Brief Guide
Will this actually work? How is this going to be reliable with arms, hands, clothes, other people and other products blocking the view of the cameras?

I wonder why they didn't put cameras in the shopping basket instead. At least then it would always have a clear view of items going in and out.
Why six and not eight? Or four? My father has been a chemical engineer for the same company from ages 22-now (59) and is an expert in his (very) niche field, does that make him unqualified to speak about the state of the chemical engineering industry?

People's experiences are worth listening to even if they've just been in the workforce for a couple years.

One point of view is that the U.S. is currently running under semi-polygamous norms. A stunning proportion of U.S. adults are "single," but that doesn't necessarily mean they're not having sex.

Of course---partners are not evenly distributed, leading to numerical outcomes more akin to polygamy than polite society might pretend.
For me that'a conscious motivator :-)
Show HN: Open Source Library for MicroInteractions
It’s inflammatory, but imho a valid concern — Amazon is probably going to link all your purchases there with your profile on Amazon, so it’s quite a leap in how much it enhances their ability to surveil you — while tempting you with the discounts that such detail enables.
Do you think they would have opened it if they didn't have a pretty high degree of confidence that it was working? It's been in beta for quite some time.

There are better places to steal from than those with massive numbers of cameras pointed at you from all directions.
Yeah, at least Amazon took the seemingly obvious step of painting all objects in the ceiling black as to at least attempt to mask their surveillance. I sort of hate looking towards the ceiling at stores like Target which have those black domes which contrast so hard against their white ceilings dispersed every 5 ft. It being so noticeable makes it feel all the creepier.
Additionally, the difficulty points on some problems changed as new proofs were discovered. In particular, Fermat's last theorem went from M50 (math required, Research problem) to HM45 (Higher math required, more than a team project but less than a Research problem).

Additionally, somewhere along the way, the marvelous tape sorting fold out pages have dissappeared from the Sorting and Searching volume.
I challenge anybody who says this makes shoplifting easier to try and steal something from a traditional store. It's ridiculously easy.

Stores only work right now because most people are honest. AI powered cameras watching you all the time is not going to make shoplifting easier.
I agree, but at least the data is out there.

But Alexa and Google Home aren't always on listening devices in your home -- at least not any sense that matters. They are always-on, and they do have microphones, but they are not recording every conversation and sending it to the mothership. You need to affirmatively request them to listen (via OK Google/Alexa/whatever hotword) before they are listening in a sense anyone should be concerned about.

You'll want to consider the main point of the article then ask yourself how much of revenue is paid out is agency costs. It's a big chunk in most companies.
Good article, although there are also some unforced errors of what Rust community calls "ergonomics" - many of which have been addressed, and hopefully many others will be soon - that make things more difficult to learn than the absolutely have to be. But author is quite correct that some things are just hard, and if a language is being "honest", it must expose them to the user.
In the book Coders at Work, Peter Seibel asked a number of famous programmers, including Knuth, if they had read all of TAoCP. Only one said that he had. Knuth, likely with tongue in cheek, said that he had not. But of course, he wrote it, so apparently he is not counting that.

I have read some sections in great detail, e.g., the section on multi-precision arithmetic. This was essential for writing floating point libraries.
Is communication without outrage even possible in the modern age?
the problem with old equipment twofold; first, there's a lot more maintenance. Next? when you are dealing in cast-offs, you by necessity have a heterogeneous fleet of hardware.

(The market for obsolete server hardware is interesting because often you pay more if you want a whole bunch of the same thing)

If you have to pay someone to maintain the obsolete hardware, it's probably cheaper to just buy everyone new chromebooks or something.

On the other hand, If you can sell that as part of the program, teaching the kids to fix the hardware, that could work out really well. But the point is that there is a lot of labor involved in using a heterogeneous fleet of cast-off hardware; a lot more labor than in using a homogenous fleet of newer hardware.

It is, however, labor that I think you can teach kids how to do. Fixing a computer isn't any harder than fixing a car, and is probably a lot safer.
I see your point. Having services entails more complexity.

That said it allows you to tailor your code to its specific need. One of the services needs a certain database, or queuing or other connectivity considerations while the other doesn't or has different needs. Having them bundled prevents you from splitting things out. You don't have a limited and specific design.

Yes, but "negative mass " evokes the idea of non-Baryonic exotic matter. It's a nontrivial difference since exotic matter has applications for things like Alcubierre drives.

I don't see what is so cynical about 'surveillance-powered convenience store's. Having surveillance in a store doesn't have any negative connotation for me, and 'surveillance-powered' is a good way to describe what makes this store unique
Malpractice? Strong words, considering you're mischaracterizing the article.

"Virtual memory—which gives us the user/kernel space split and the process model of programming whereby programs are protected from each other—is just the most pervasive form of isolation."

That's not claiming virtual memory is the only reliability benefit, and you can't expect a short article to be a treatise on all the differences between kernel space and userspace.

Furthermore, the article isn't claiming that kernel programming is _better_ than userspace programming, it's just pointing out that there's a tension between performance and safety - which you acknowledge!

Tell HN: If you like “Poor Charlie's Almanack” you may like “12 Rules for Life”
I think Poor Charlie's Almanack is amazing.

I've gone through hundreds of books in the last few years, and this is the first time I've come across a book that seems to contain more wisdom than Poor Charlie's Almanack.

12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson. If you cannot afford it it would certainly be available free via various online methods. I wanted to note that because I don't want people to think I'm shilling this book. I'm very glad to have read it and would like to pay it forward.

Hope you get the chance to read it.
Thanks. We had looked at what they were doing, similar as a concept but quite different in use cases. CE is mostly to support multiple platforms like Magneto/Shopify or other business integrations etc with just one integration, we are making it for developers and teams to integrate and iterate faster..similar to what Segment does for Analytics.
SpaceX simply doesn’t have the launch cadence to be anywhere near as useful to certain markets as Rocketlabs will be.

Specifically, RL is ideal for a series of small satellites launched at a regular cadence to perform e.g. atmospheric studies. For this niche, booking ride shares requires booking a seat years in advance through a launch broker and then accepting whatever delays eventuate for the entire payload.

If a company or government wants to get a small satellite into space quickly or with tighter constraints on launch windows, RL will be the launcher of preference since their aim is to reduce the time from launch booking to orbital deployment. Being the only payload and customer means using the same payload adaptor each launch, which means lower integration costs. Reducing time from booking to orbit means satellites aren’t sitting in a clean room for years waiting for launch.

Launch costs measured in terms of $/kg are only part of the feasibility of a particular launch platform. It is a (very roughly) similar scenario to commuters using private vehicles rather than public transport.

Check AirBNB. And keep in mind those prices can generally be negotiated sharply downward for longterm stays. He also need not continue to reside in one of the most expensive [housing] areas in Britain and the world for that matter. Healthcare in the UK can be provided for by entirely public systems. If he wanted to start a family he's just doubled his income and we can reduce the timelines involved in success here by at least ~30% (less than half due to compound interest being the secret sauce here + he obviously also increases his expenses in often nonlinear ways) -- even moreso if he finds a partner who has a more sophisticated skillset than moving boxes.

I think the thing many don't see is that in spite of people continuing to fail at life we live at a time when it's far easier than ever to succeed. But most people won't do the ideas espoused here since it requires discipline and planning. Instead they go drop their paycheck off at the pub, buy all the latest electronic toys with built in planned obsolescence, and so on. Or he finally hits $20k in the bank and then decides to go blow it on holiday to Asia.
An entire generation has now grown up with the idea that this level of surveillance is not only ok, it's actually odd to think differently. What's worse is the level of govt surveillance, after all i can just, not go to the creepy Amazon store..

In just a few short years, people who have never known life without the patriot act or the fear and anxiety of walking into an airport unmolested will be voting.

I agree with you in principal. But I'm far less hopeful that meaningful solutions will come. After all, it's not been them that has enacted these secret courts, fisa, patriot act, ndaa, weaponizing govt ( irs, fbi, dhs, ...), that's been their role models, us. All in the name of safety.

I notice you have used the insult “asshole” twice when no one else is, and you are using the mention of the word as proof someone is wrong.
