"Built ground up for VR AAA titles" != "Adapted VR AAA titles"

I refuse to use revive to play any of these games because I don't want to support the exclusives, but I gotta admit that something like robo recall looks better than anything that's available on steam
I didn't know it was illegal, I will refuse to reveal this information for future interviews.

Thanks.
I loved that book! It's interesting with the perfect balance between being academic and still being accessible.

I was just gutted, that it stops in the middle of the 20th century... Yeah, i know, Mulaney will publish a second part, but it was a bit of a let down.
The point here is that the proximate medical cause isn’t actually the complete cause. While medical records are useful, they don’t explain the circumstances that led to someone’s death, and are therefore heavily missing information in many cases. The person who died of pneumonia because they couldn’t afford to go to hospital - all that gets listed on their certificate is that they died of pneumonia, and so we’re lacking in information that might be just as useful (or more) as that a person died of pneumonia.

If we actually understood that people literally died of not having enough money, or of lack of willpower to deal with a bureaucracy, or of homelessness, or of their mental state, there’s every chance that something might change.
Uber doesn't tell you "you'll make 15$/h".

They tell you "this drive will make you / made you 27.98$"

It makes it a lot harder or less likely for the users to compare to an actual wage, especially since the uber jobs are basically provided on a as-needed basis.
Some people are trying to make thermocoupling pipe material, so that would remove a bit of the heat part of that problem. Now would that make "reactive" fluid less problematic on the long run ?

I imagine you never had the "pleasure" of using Google developed emulators.

Why do you think 3rd party emulators like Genymotion exist?

Even Microsoft created one from scratch before Google bothered to reboot their own implementation.

In any case, thanks to OEM customizations, even if it runs perfectly well on the emulator there are zero guarantees that it will work on the actual devices.
We are developing an app that does #3 (Smarter Time) and manage it with a foreground service. The constant notification is slightly annoying for some users, but overall it works well and does not use too much battery (after tons of tweaks and optimizations)
well from there it's just mixing different wavelength ranges of "monochrome", so the difference is less than one might expect (yes I am ignoring the preprocessing cells that have to be in tune too for correct colour vision to work, but it's not that far off)

Man, you really don't like this company for some reason. It's more like a bank than a pyramid scheme, except they have higher reserves. Sure, theoretically something could happen and all their customers may default on their loans, but by your logic even cash is "speculate" because your house could burn down.

Really fantastic execution! Been playing with a similar idea for internally at large companies, where you get intro'd to a new person in a different team every week, and get a flavour of what they're about (it's not a tested use case, but something to scratch my own itch).

I don't know why I need to use slack [...] just
reinventing irc

Features Slack has that IRC doesn't include:

* User authentication

* Support for multiple concurrent logins by one user

* Persistent, searchable history

* (Ad-free) file and image sharing built in

* Simple integrations, like webhooks, built in.

In other words, Slack is like IRC+NickServ+Irssi+Screen+Imgur, except easier to use, in the sense that you don't need to know key combos like Ctrl+A+D or Ctrl+Alt+2, you don't have to figure out how to send such combos from your phone's terminal emulator, and you don't need access to an always-on server to run your screen session.

Of course, it's not all good; Slack has a bunch of opinionated design choices, like a channel it's impossible to leave, no ability to block users, no off-the-record option, and suchlike.

what percentage of journalists do you suppose make this mistake? Is your assumption that it is a widespread practice to invent sources to push some sort of agenda?
Then why would an employer risk such troubles when non-snowflake (sighted) employees could be employed?
I would argue that it is better to have 50% of the population on unemployment payments rather than having them employed under below-human-dignity wages. The later looks better on the statistics because those people are working.

The extreme scenario you propose is in my eyes an acceptable result of a minimum wage system, because implementing a minimum wage says "nobody should work and earn less than X$/h". For people unable to find work under these conditions we have social safety nets (well, the US doesn't but other countries do)
I wonder why they had to look at the iron bars to find the difference in position. If you look at the waves in the foreground the difference is very obvious.

Nevertheless, quite cool incident. Not just that they took a very similar photo, but also that they found out that they did.
Everyone needs to have their trust betrayed once to understand what it means to trust.
The journalist may be credible because of a past history of credible reporting, as well as the organization that they are a part of. Both have a reputation they aim to uphold to report the truth.

Just because you are not in a position to independently verify every fact that gets reported doesn’t mean that it isn’t true. It’s ok to be skeptical, but you seem to be taking it to an extreme.
And then it stops being free? I'm no longer a student anyway. Regardless, the damn thing is still proprietary. Authoring tools should not be proprietary. I want to access my data 50 years from now. Depending on a proprietary authoring tool virtually ensures I won't be able to.

Somewhat related: I think this title should not be read as an hypothetical confirmation of the usual layman's asumption that 'kids learns better and faster that adults'.

Which is a misconception I'm often confronted with and irritates me quite a bit, especially when it comes in its extreme flavour of 'I just can't learn this new field/langage/tool/technique because I'm not a kid anymore'.

And I think you've already guessed what's the reaction when I try to explain in simple terms brain's plasticity and the fact that neural pathways can be made/upgraded threw sheer willforce. Something along 'well, don't try to teach me (about learning or whatever), I've already said that I can't learn anymore!'.
What fraction of reporting would you say is faulty in this manner? If you think it’s a large number then you do not live in a fact-based world.

I've worked (tangentially) with helping projects get building permits in the UK (and lived there for a few years).

Speeding up laying out elements is really nice but it's difficult to communicate responsive designs to production without having to duplicate artboards.

"Don't like, don't read" and similar statements aren't a counter argument. (I usually do see them on fanfiction websites though)

Criticism of an article is totally valid, there are plenty of frontpage HN posts where people disagree with an author in the comments. And that's good, the author put out this article precisely because they wanted someone to read it and think about it (even if they disagree afterwards) (atleast most proper blog authors and journalists do that for think-pieces and commentaries)

Well, but I am not sure that you would indeed require it to be the same millisecond. I mean I don't know how long the exposure was, but I guess its longer than a millisecond (just took a look at some of my own photos and they were at 4-5ms exposure in very bright sunlight, the blog image exposure is probably more like 10ms). The heading says that the pictures were taken in the same millisecond, but as far as I understand the post, they concluded it from the image, so I wonder what the precision is you can derive from a photo?

Pex doesn't insulate as well as PPr (thinner wall) and the fittings always introduce flow resistance and produce turbulent flow since they go into the pipe. Thread fittings for Pex area usually leaky. I would never use them except for serviceable manifolds with easy access, otherwise use press fit fittings. On the other hand PPr fittings go outside the pipe, just like those for copper and they're heat fused. PPr pipes are quite freeze-prone, the walls are thick (6 mm for a DN25 pipe) and glass fibre inserion PPr pipes don't have such a huge thermal expansion as pipes w/o insertion (only suitable for up to 60..68°C = hot water). Most plastic piping is prone to thermal expansion. PPr does not look pretty so it should be probably ran through walls and floors.

Copper water pipes should always be insulated with at least 6 mm EPE sleeves or closed cell elastomeric foam sleeves (better). Even cold water pipes should be insulated at least in heated or high humidity spaces because of condensation that forms on the pipe.

> REST is still a bit simpler ...

I don't want to take away from your main point, but I wish at least on HN we could use the term "REST" with its proper meaning, but maybe it's a lost cause.

REST has nothing to do with JSON-over-HTTP or pretty endpoint URLs. REST and HATEOAS is about minimal, stateless coupling of web clients and server apps. The idea is that you point your browser at an endpoint, and the user/browser drives forward every further interaction and state evolution by hyperlinks and other affordances presented in the return "representation" (eg. HTML). Specifically, the web client isn't supposed to do requests against out-of-band provided URLs for JSON or other payloads with hard-coded endpoints.

I know it might not be a realistic application model for what the Web has evolved into today, but misuse of the term REST has frustrated its inventor since at least 2008 [1].

Edit: as discussed many times here eg. [2]

[1]: http://roy.gbiv.com/untangled/2008/rest-apis-must-be-hyperte...

[2]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3635085 - Nobody understands REST or HTTP
OpenGL is a terrible API with 25 years worth of legacy baggage. There are many ways of doing everything and a portable engine needs to support many methods for even the simplest of things because the newest and best methods aren't supported everywhere.

Vulkan is a much better designed API with a lot less legacy crap in it. It's lower level and gives more control to the app/engine developer.

The bad news is that Vulkan is a bit verbose, but this stops being an issue once you move past "hello world" level apps. OpenGL gets really difficult once you start doing complex things.

Visual Design Specifications
I am in the position of being, metaphorically speaking, the bridge between a team of visual designers and developers. Making specs of finalized visual designs and hand over the devs. Is it making these specifications as CSS variables an ethical way of doing it and avoid the Zombie Styleguide?
I was excited when this came out, but I'm ambivalent about it now. First of all, it doesn't actually solve the issue I mentioned, since it's not actually "native" in the sense I was talking about; it's just a cross-platform Go app. Second, it's not open source, and I'm not sure I'm comfortable trusting such an app with my login credentials.
And eventually, evolve these CSS Variables into a Design System? Having a set of variables defined can keep the design consistent rather than doing it old school by pointing out "XYZ px"on visuals.

This "I work at Google" thing... doesn't give instant knowledge on all areas.

There are many ways this could be covered, as many have said here (Above & Below). Noise gates... other Apps listening for key phrases etc.

E.g.

A Fitness App could be installed with a noise gate + setup to listen for specific fitness related terms... that triggers a simple pules to say person A is interested in that topic....

Another App does the same for topic B... and the list goes on...

That's just off the top of my head. (I don't work at Google)

It's was not very high level of naivety to invest in ML back then, they did impressive marketing job and innovation most often happens in smaller companies - it is far more easy to acquire company shares than try to build a team - hard to hire experts, build labs and finally this requires time.
Note that ARKit/ARCore are steps required for this kind of tech - so at least Google and Apple are building expertise on AR/MR software technology, but the hardware part is still left for others to figure out.
Today except Microsoft there is Intel using Sony's waveguide simple display and other headsets that are not giving magic experience by using more primitive tech.

Anyway for me it is sad they still invest in ML only for this reason that supporting more players would greatly improve chances that some company would figure out better solutions and ML is stuck in local minima to keep most of their story and promises.
Using IRC "on top" is to avoid using the Slack client at all. I can understand that, and Slack would shut down a lot of critics if they made native clients, and a CLI client.

Or you know, humanity is terrible at retraining people - that the costs of retraining are so high that the simple straight path idea everyone has is dumped on contact with reality?

Remember that the greatest advance to education was the internet.

You could now have good quality, always available, free, subject material, from reputed institutions, with interactive media, perfected explanations, testing and so on.

And despite all this - they have a 10% completion rate.

I have said this multiple times, and unless people are actively looking at this system they miss that re-educating and re-training people is extremely lossy and unlikely.

And now you have people out of a job, and they have to re-train, while also taking care of bills and family?

People tend to forget - our best training system is to take young humans with no responsibilities, mostly spare time and keep them in training centers for the vast majority of their day in childhood.

And even there we fail.

The biggest problem I see with the article is that you didn't say exactly what you're doing with this build system. And this gets people's imagination going.

To me it looks like this is a personal project that only you are working on. I don't see any problem using this approach. I mean, I use a batch file as my build "system" for my personal projects. But for anything else it would be worth discussing the trade-offs versus using one of the available build systems.
