I agree that "too intricate" is the other main problem in WebGL uptake. But we're not even seeing WebGL versions of textbook GPU applications that are straightforward to implement with the tools WebGL 2 gives.

For example, here's WebGL compatibility stats from a site that has counters on technical web sites and graphics programming web sites: http://webglstats.com/ - As you can see, WebGL 2 compatibility is only at 40%, despite having been enabled in stable Firefox/Chrome for over a year. WebGL 1, a 7 year old standard, is now at 97%. (And even for the nominally WebGL-enabled browsers, users often report browser or OS crashes, so the percentages are upper bounds).

From an armchair quarterback position, if I wanted to effect GPU compute uptake, I'd work on compiler tech and tools targeting WebGL GLSL.
You can cope with more than 1ms to the data center, latencyphile.
At its heart, I am not certain the increased contributions are always good. There is a lot of theory written about how to build and grow out languages, and most of it seems to indicate that there needs to be a strong, central group of people with veto power. So long as the Go internal team retains this power, it's good, but having a community driving development for itself outside of the core language team often leads to (a) too many cooks in the kitchen and (b) adding features vocal fans want that nobody else cares about.

What can you do with 1gb that you couldn‘t do with 100mb? I got 50mb and for the first time can‘t think of a reason to upgrade.
But that's the thing - I believe deep learning is actually a creative process. The new information needs to fit in your existing model of what you already know/believe, and doing so is a creative endeavor. The more you move away from that the more you end up with rote memorization.

That's why people respond better to different teaching styles, different angles of explanation, top-down vs. bottom-up, etc - because they better align with how their creative mind works.

>“day care is morally wrong” as itself axiomatic

Good people already know that daycare is bad, even those who use it, even though they can't explain. So yeah, it's axiomatic.

>however, the second is not in the general sense

Au contraire, it's a perfectly true general statement that children can't get love and attention at daycare. From minimum wage, high-turnover staff looking after a large number of kids in a bureaucratically-controlled environment? No way.

Actually I guess most people wouldn't want or expect employees to love their charges anyhow. It would likely be construed as 'inappropriate', as when a teacher hugs a pupil.
Honestly I really don't know, but they are:

* more expensive

* amenable to more gear of various kinds ("tactical")

* the ammo is much more expensive, and much easier to fire quickly

* used more among enthusiasts, a.k.a. "influencers"

So basically, you sell a pistol to someone, get a $500 sale in a competitive market (probably low margins), and sell some ammo and range time a few times a year.

But if you sell the tactical stuff (e.g. assault rifles and other gear-accomodating stuff), you are likely to get a few high-margin follow up sales and a more enthusiastic customer who might involve their friends, use more ammo, etc.

> Short of writing a bunch of custom scripts, is there a standard way to handle this situation that I assume anyone with multiple repos that share internal, private dependencies has?

You write custom scripts to reïmplement everything you'd get for free with a monorepo! Having worked at organisations with a monorepo and with many repos, I can confidently say that any team which is using multiple repos is very probably wrong — and the more repos, the more likely wrong they are. If you have more repos than team members, you are almost certainly wrong. You end up spending far more time managing cross-repo dependencies and changes than you would merging changes in a monorepo.

Multiple repos: not even once.
Thanks for sharing this.. when I was around 4 years old my parents, a relative, and I were in and out of a hospital.

We were going through a really tough time dealing with a life-altering diagnosis of one of my siblings. A lot of anger and sadness, especially from my parents.

But - the only thing I actually remember from the hospital was playing Galaga in the hospital game room with my relative. Since I was 4 years old, I always wondered (a) why it is such a vivid memory and (b) why I can't remember my family or myself being upset. Quite surreal to see that this specific scenario has been studied.
What speed is your LTE?
I am coming to a very, very sad realization that teams that 'need a rewrite' probably don't deserve them. The desire for a do-over is a little childish to begin with, but the fact that you can't find a route from A to B means you lack a useful combination of imagination and discipline.

From my personal experiences and those of my peers, I don't think you can trick people into discipline by rewriting the application and then letting them in after you've "fixed everything".

First, you are most assuredly deluding yourself about your own mastery of the problem space. The problems you don't see can kill you just as badly as all the ones you do. Two, the bad patterns will sneak back in the first time you are distracted. Which will be almost immediately, because you just made assurances about when major pieces of functionality will be ready to use.

If the team has enough discipline already, you can start refactoring the code to look more like what you wanted. By the time your rewrite would objectively ship you'll be a long way toward it already (and maybe discover some even cooler features along the way.) Refactoring is the Ship of Theseus scenario. You get a new ship but you still call it by the old name.
This makes a lot of sense to me. I used to game pretty hard and I know there was almost no better way to blow off stress. Of course, it had its down sides too. Distraction is a remarkably powerful tool. I've also experienced this with relationship drama. Sometimes, after a big argument, the best thing that can happen for the parties involved is to just do something to take their minds off memories of the argument. Anything to get the mind to stop spinning around in circles.

Later in life, I also got into meditation for a while. I wonder if there's an argument here that some subset of gamers are predisposed to be good meditators because the two activities induce similar brain states?

According to a chart of the local LTE mobile internet options the max speed is 10Mbps. The fast test on my phone just reported the max speed as 1.9Mbps.
Oh sure, and especially when you continue to use it after the situation has passed. That’s the more difficult part, of course.
I've been around some TV news people. They can't imagine why we aren't glued to our sets because they told us to come at 6pm and 10pm. They think they teased a good story earlier in the day. They think they are being so generous to let us watch something when we want to. It is already a huge leap to break the schedule and play on demand.

Yes, someday they will realize most people under 45 don't watch TV news. That someday will come when their current viewers die. The stations will be lost -they already "tried" streaming. Who wants to bet that they will desperately add more advertisements to any stream they can.
I don't know why anyone is going to any auto shows.

> how do they patch atomic cross-repo changes onto their multiple git repos

If you need atomic cross repo changes, then you're doing multi-repo wrong. You need to have an upgrade path, so that you support both old and new in parallel, so you can upgrade one repo at a time.

You'd need that anyway during deployment.
It could just be because of the totally inconsistent UI across Win10 that I feel like things are more broken than they are...

Also to point to a specific problem, OneNote in iOS takes ages to open and get a note ready, I don't know what it is but it's the only app that takes that long to open.
The diamond problem is more due to the lack of tooling to alert you when that's going on. (Tooling on the building side and the CI/CD/Jenkins side) [Jenkins should be able to kick off other builds that depend on whats being built.
The real question is: does Google Cloud charge more or less per GPU cycle than one can make mining cryptocurrency with it? If it's less, I expect these to be at load momentarily.
Anyone know the cost of the mining rig in comparison to the cost of power for running the mining rig? Seems like it would be easier for Salon to just buy their own mining rig but if the energy demands are extreme I can see why they would want to offload this to their readers. Seems convoluted but hey this is the internet.
I knew I wasn't the only one. Once I have a disc in hand I'm going to handle it once, get it on the NAS and watch it on any device in my house without thinking about the media that it was purchased on. Throw an old laptop SSD, a raspberry pi and a USB wifi into the mix and you can stream your collection while driving across the country.
What does your test coverage look like? Perhaps you're missing something there that would have caught that bug?

Testing is, of course, no silver bullet. Tests are written by humans, and humans make mistakes—and it's pretty difficult to achieve 100% test coverage in a production system. The goal of testing is to have confidence in the code you've written.

Tests often don't need to cross version control boundaries. You can use mock data—like would be produced by the library—on the consumer side, because you can delegate responsibility for testing of that library to the library repository itself. If your tests work great with the mock data, but things are still failing, then you can infer that the mock data and the actual data are different, and your bug is in the library.
> About reservations, I don't see why would you want to move your data. Reservations are tied to companies in a way no standard can solve. And by design.

Maybe company A has a history of all your travel reservations with them, and company B has a history of all your travel reservations with them. Then company C offers a service where they collect travel reservations from various services to create an business expense report. You, the supposed owner of the data would like to authorized C to import your data from A and B.

I work at a University, its a 501c3 Jesuit institution, budgets and salaries are very lean. As a software developer I make 1/2 of market but I get free tuition. We receive dollars from FAFSA but little else due to our religious status. And yet, tuition is still high despite the amount of annual fund raising we perform. For our university tuition is 35k for a year, 17.5k for a semester or $1k per credit hour with most courses being 3 credit hours. Why does college cost so much? I've been working at one for 10 years now. I can state that its because operating a college is fucking expensive. Country club atmosphere my ass, we're packing these fucking sardines into closets because we've run out of housing! Why? Because in the ambition to keep tuition low and accessible to all students including all the scholarships we dish out we've got fucking nothing for building new dorms. Oh you want a rent a place off campus? Hah! Good luck finding an studio for under $1400 a month in this neighborhood that's half ghetto, half gentrified $500k row homes. This isn't a government in the pot problem, the truth of it is its an inflation problem. The cost of EVERYTHING has gone up, not just college, household wages have not increased to meet demand. "But little Johnny can stay at home and go to school." I hear you say. Nope, many, if not most, colleges require freshmen to live on campus at least one year. Furthermore, you often have parents that want their children to attend their alma mater. Stupid as that may be it often leads to parents shipping their kids all over the fucking place despite what the child's wishes may be. Bureaucracy? Nope, I'll admit there is bureaucracy but its not the cause of the problem and its certainly not the cost. "B-b-b-b-but big gubment!" I hear you retort. What big government? You think all schools are fat cat librals sitting on their tenure teaching communism to gentle minds? Man fuck you. You're the problem. The real reason college costs are so high is because of all the poor people we give scholarships to so disadvantaged students can have a chance at life outside of the situation they were born into. The problem is cutting taxes on rich twats that don't want to give back. Give em all free college and subsidize it off every schmuck that doesn't give a fuck if some poor kid chokes to death in the ashes of the trailer park they were born in.
This repeats a different misconception, that quantum computers provide "infinite computational resources".
The quote from the article supports what you're saying: it's a unique situation as they're attempting to market specifically to those who don't want to be marketed to by them.
Sure, but once a defacto standard schema exists between these services it is trivial to formalize that standard and implement it in the various services. Of course there is still the business problem where no one is willing to expend any resources to make it easier for users to migrate.
I agree with you entirely. I want to make a few points though. First is that even when I am actively listening to someone speaking, my brain will make associations with the new information (coming from my auditory sensory registers), so I context-switch involuntarily every second. Think of process preemption.

Roughly like this:

t0: hear the word "dog";
my auditory registers record it

t1: my brain processes the word "dog";
I imagine what "dog" looks like
hear the word "cat" concurrently, goes into registers

t2: my brain processes the word "cat"
I imagine what "cat" looks like
hear the word "lamb" concurrently, goes into registers

This works all thanks to the fact our auditory sensory registers can withhold information longer than
visual's (and the reason why we tend to forget what we see).

> if they simply provide opportunity to think more about material, which would obviously give an advantage as compared to the people in the studies "controls" that have to learn new information.

The second point I want to make is eyewitness testimony and memory biases. Given enough time, a witness can tell untruth. There is a limit to how long we can keep the "truth" in our brain. Long-term memory is not a perfect storage system. Without rote rehearsal, our memories will decay. During our sleep, some believe (at least this is how I was taught in my class) that the brain will do "garbage collection", basically removing things the brain don't think is important.

Onto the third and the last point. Our brain can develop by forming new neurons (or undevelop skills by killing neurons). When a person becomes deaf after an accident, then his/her speech ability will lose over time. Thanks to our neuroplasticity, we can reverse the change by learning again, though we may not recover 100%. This is happening to me: some of my cognitive functions have stopped functioning well after an accident last summer, I have been trying hard to recover, even though there are some improvements, I don't know how much can recover. In general, I am impaired and disabled.

I just started my neuroscience studies, so I recommend reading on dendrite spines. They are "cute" and play vital role involving memory.

Yes. Coupons are a popular way to gauge in store action, but they have a very low redemption rate and they're far more expensive than digital.
I think the craziest thing about this comment is how juxtaposed it is to the original one. How you could have such divergent opinions on org structure or team dynamic is mind blowing.
I can usually spot breastfed with 80% accuracy after meeting a child for over 5 minutes.
Another problem particularly bad for software developers:

Once we've solved a problem once, we 'understand' it. But we don't want to solve the same problem again. And even if we do show up for another one of these we have to somehow explain it all to people who won't believe it til they see it anyway. It's boring, thankless work.

For instance I've done things that look a lot like CMSes many, many times. I can predict pretty accurately what the bosses will be pissed about in 6 months. I'm only surprised by a production issue if it's actually dumber than I thought we could possibly be. Yeah, of course that broke. I've been warning you for months.

But if I had a nickel for every time I said "You really don't want to do it that way, do it this way", and people actually listened, I wouldn't be able to afford a cup of coffee. Only the Jr devs listen. The rest think they're special and will avoid the problems that everybody runs into.

At this point, I should probably have my head examined for showing up again. I have resolved that next time I will work on something where I can make all new (to me) mistakes and have a chance to learn. But here's the rub: that's probably exactly what 90% of my coworkers were thinking when they joined this project.

You're right, and the results should definitely be better.

I suppose I was imagining a system where they actually built something uniquely different, similar to when you search for a product or a celebrity's birthday and it displays it at the top. Devoting special attention in that way could be quite political.

If they were to just algorithmically improve search results that are displayed and weed out CPCs without it showing on the front-end, then that's a great idea.

I don't know why I was thinking of anything else at first!
Openstreetmap depends on ordinary users adding/editing what they care about. Why not have a go editing those areas yourself :)
That's a sweet story, thanks for sharing.
Wow! Oddly I think this is totally acceptable but will eventually go way off the rails with abuse and ruin everything.
Developers are way to lazy for this to work in practice. Imagine every second commit you make has to be backwards compatible, that for sure is a great way to effectively stop any refactoring of your code base, unless all your interfaces are already perfect and very fixed and you find this a feature. Or people will not care about partial cross repo dependencies resulting in randomly broken builds for others during a short time. I don't want to pull down a broken build just because some other team at that moment were only half way into pushing a feature. What should I do against that? Retry pull all repos and rebuild again?

I think the problem is that people misuse their version control as a package manager. If you want that type of behaviour, with semver and all to manage compatibility, just use a package manager to manage your dependencies, not a multirepo git contraption. You can still store your packages in one repo each if you like but at least you now get some control over interface compatibility which is a requirenent when you have multiple repos.

I work in the public sector in Denmark and we use OSM for pretty much every map routing project we do as google won’t agree to not track our usage or protect our data under the privacy shield.

Gotta say OSM has been mostly amazing to work with, but there have been a few quirks over the years. A few times the direction on one directional streets have been wrong, and when I corrected it, using our GIS data as evidence, my correction was denied because I had to physically go take a picture of the street.

It felt a little silly being a municipality and having an OSM correction denied by some hobbyist, especially because it was blocking functionality on a piece of software used by 60.000 users.

Don’t get me wrong, I blame us for not getting a verified account on a critical piece of software, but it still made me hate community driven software for around two hours.

A combination of username, steamID and display name completely understandable in my opinion. User shouldn't be forced to login using a randomly generated ID, but something he can remember and has the option of being private by being able to use the display name.

UrlID can be beneficial for the user so the user can choose a easily spellable identifier for the URL in case he needs to share the link often using voice.

Seems like an optimal system except that the UrlID probably is only a use case not that often. But it still won't really hurt anyone. If it wasn't the URL ID it would be steamID, which does nothing to help to remember the URLs. So why is it poorly thought out if it gives benefits to some usecases without making anyone else worse off?
My understanding goes like this:

The brain is a super information processing machine. It executes incredibly and unimaginably complex algorithms without our knowing about it. But one of the things it does is to construct simplified models of itself, and these simplified models are what we are "aware of." More precisely, these simplified models are what consciousness is.

The "illusion" is that consciousness is somehow in the driver's seat. It isn't at all. It is just a kind of post-hoc shorthand that the brain uses for itself. It's more like a log file than an executed piece of code.

My typing out these words didn't come from my "consciousness," they came from the brain's incredibly complex algorithms. But my consciousness is taking the credit; it gives the abstract, executive summary version of how my goal of expressing some point led to my word selection. All those "inner experiences" along the way are essentially notational.
