I won't deny that if this one really passes (not yet believing it), then it will be a pretty hard blow to my somewhat pro-EU stance. And yeah, I guess law-makers in the EU are even further disconnected from most people than national politicians. Thought the web makes that gap smaller again.

I know there's a conventional (and strong) argument against the EU in that it combines the 'worst of both worlds' for many of its members, since they have a single currency but they don't have the kind of federal system that would balance that out.

Yes, that was essentially their position. The EU when it was smaller was mostly a group of member states in at least broadly equivalent economic situations. As it has grown, there are much wider disparities, and that undermines some of the original assumptions behind the Single Market.

For example, if there is an incentive to have cheap labour move from a relatively poor economy to a relatively wealthy one, you have potential for abuse on the relatively wealthy side, and you also have a risk of a "brain drain" effect that holds back growth in the poorer economy.

Likewise, trying to unify the markets across such widely different EU states is economically unsound. They aren't really one big market, because basic factors like cost of living and household income vary widely from one member state to another. Forcing businesses to treat all member states equally (which subsequent to that discussion the EU actually has been working to legislate) means you usually price the poorer member states out of the market, which is good for neither the potential customers in those states nor the businesses who would have been happy to supply them.

I also don't see how the UK could conceivably be said to be disadvantaged by the EU - given that financial services + co seem to depend upon EU membership.

The EU is mostly a good thing for trade with the EU. But by belonging to the EU, and in particular the Customs Union, the UK gives up the ability to negotiate its own trade agreements with non-EU trading partners. Instead, it is required to impose the EU's standard tariffs and other non-tariff barriers when trading outside the bloc, and the EU is rather protectionist in its stance there.

Put another way, just as EU membership brings well-documented advantages in terms of tariff-free trade and ease of access to the EU market, it also imposes directly analogous disadvantages in terms of forcing tariffs and other barriers when trading with non-EU markets, and the UK has limited ability to change that situation while remaining in the Customs Union because any relevant trade agreements are negotiated via the EU and not the UK itself.

The argument being made at the time was that since our foreign trade has been shifting steadily towards a greater proportion being with non-EU partners, the balance between the benefits on the EU side and the costs on the non-EU side was shifting in the wrong direction. (And if the EU did then suffer further economic troubles, that would reduce the benefits of continued membership significantly, pushing the balance further/faster in that other direction.)

I wish it was a Web 2.0 FoxPro. It’s maybe the closest, but the price model is too much.

You could buy foxpro for $1200 and create 100 databases with all sorts of janky workflows used within your small business. Paying $20/user/infinity for lower amounts of records doesn’t quite fit that niche. And so the hacked processes with Google Docs and now Excel365 continue.

Hopefully with this new funding, Airtable can fix their pricing model and become successful as Access was.

> Gold isn’t in all of our electronics over a fantasy.

How much influence do you think the sum of Gold's industrial uses exert over its value? I'll tell you: nearly zero. It's all speculation.

> Bitcoin has no real value, outside of a consensual fantasy.

All currencies have a value endogenous to their ecosystem. Bitcoin is no different. Bitcoin is used to pay transaction fees in the Bitcoin network. US dollars derive their value because the US government accepts them for taxes. These are equivalent properties, each contingent on the success of the thing that issues them. Owning bitcoin is a bet on future demand for bitcoin, which is a bet on future demand for bitcoin transactions, which necessarily cost BTC to perform. If you believe Bitcoin will come to mediate a significant fraction of global commerce, it's a good investment. If you don't, it's not. It's as simple as that.

> In fact, a reader who is actually learning Rust can't do the projects, because they don't have the requisite knowledge before reading the chapter that the project appears in.

Hm, we certainly expect that this is possible. If this is too hard, we need some tuning!
I agree that buyers typically deceives themselves due to their limited understanding of highly complex large systems, and that their incompetence is amplified by a sub-optimal procurement process.

It's obvious that there was zero actual knowledge involved related to implementing large systems - just by the fact that someone thought it was a good idea to take a behemoth system excreted out of Oracle, and then pass it through the corporate body of IBM, before inserting it into a huge government organisation, while at the same time getting rid of any process expertise and business knowledge they might actually have on-board.

However - I don't think it's probable that any amount of training could save the situation to any measurable degree whatsoever.

Is IBM to blame? Well, I think they knew what would happen.
I started to do it in rust but was struggling too much trying to get the concepts straight AND get more comfortable with various things with Rust, decided to focus on one thing at a time so am doing phase 1 in c#.

I think you are confusing the TLB and processor data caches.

PCIDs exist for virtual addresses and are implemented in the TLB, not the processor caches. The processor caches are physically indexed, not virtually indexed.

So, does the processor cache have a mechanism to tell which "process" to which a given line belongs? Nope. Two processes (or a process and the kernel) that share memory can be in two PCIDs, but share the processor caches.
If I can hear or view it I should be able to share it.
Hah, the tax calculation almost certainly would mean that I would get it wrong!

I would have given the plain arithmetic answer.

I'm in a relevant position - I'm a 25y/o male computer programmer who lives with (along with several other people, and not in a relationship with) a 27y/o female preschool teacher - we both represent the most common jobs for our gender according to the article.

We both started college virtually opposing positions - I came in as an Art major, she a Bio major, with the intention of medical school. At some point, we both realized what we valued was incompatible with our majors - I wanted to build things, work on hard, concrete challenges, and make money, so I switched to CS. After she graduated, she took a long time reflecting on what she wanted in her future, and eventually realize what she wanted to do was to work with children (she has an extremely strong maternal personality), so she became a teacher, despite the pay and that she had the grades to go to medical school - to her, being able to work with kids and have a balanced life (impossible for years with medical school and residency) is far more meaningful than money. She also has a stable relationship with a caring boyfriend who also works, so her being able to complete support herself isn't a priority. I'm an extremely independent person (a stereotypically male trait), and am somewhat neurotic about money due to my parent's passed down habits. I wanted a job where I would have a good blend of financial stability, freedom, and challenge - software engineer checks all the boxes.

I realize this is completely anecdotal, but also likely archetypal for many others. For what it's worth, I make much more than her, but she's a happier person than I am - despite her "losing out." We're measuring success wrong, at least for a large segment of the population.
Excellent doc on Ray Johnson- “How To Draw A Bunny”
Atom is my go to editor now. It’s simple, it’s pluggable, and modern. I really like it.

I’ve been recently using it with FB’s Nuclide, but that’s such a massive suite of plugins, it might as well be a considered a derivative of it. I can’t recommend Nuclide. It’s bloated, and breaks a bunch of behavior from vanilla Atom, but it is the only thing that seems to get remote editing right. I just wish someone would get that piece out of put it as it’s own plugin.

I hear Walmart makes much use of AS2. A means of transmission that I have had a lot of exposure to over the last few months (and absolutely no exposure to before this). While I think there were definitely some forward looking aspects to AS2, it's relative obscurity outside of very specific verticals and the fact that seemingly every COTS platform that implements it is overpriced and many years or even decades old (and feels like it) has not made my AS2 journey very pleasant to date.

So I just wanted to say: my condolences to you. :P
Why wouldn't one always be able to avoid Wal-Mart? Hell, I'm sure I'd have a hard time giving up Amazon (which seems harder to avoid online), but it's really just a habit that would be difficult but not impossible to break entirely. Actually, moreso, because Amazon has worked it's way into so many facets of our lives, where Wal-Mart is far more limited online, and with physical stores, you've always got a choice.
I would be very interested to know what you think a VPN provider could do to assure users that the servers are safe.

I've yet to see an example verifiable safe server configuration, but some people have claimed that SGX might do. I'm pretty sure that wouldn't work with stock OpenVPN or StrongSWAN today.

Are there any other practices they could adopt that would ease your worries?
This is why it's not accurate to claim that "it's not IBM's fault." They are fully culpable for making a bid that didn't include necessary components of the project priced in.
Ask HN: How would you educate students on professional networking?
And make sure no one gets left out?

A hard lesson I learned over time is that ignoring your network, or avoiding activities related to networking can have an insidious effect on your career.

After graduating I had no help or support of people to guide me on my start to my career. I thought I'd just have to hit the job boards solo whenever I wanted to find a new job and continue that cycle indefinitely that until I retire, as long as I keep a professional attitude at work. My work life and social life are incredibly isolated from each other. Turns out that neglecting social activities and not having building strong relationships at work is bad idea. Who knew?

I didn't, that's who.

The benefits to career relationships may sound like obvious material to a lot of people, but I graduated university not knowing a lot about what I needed to know. I didn't join clubs or fraternities, didn't consider them highly necessary. There were no appropriate internships for my major. I tried making friends in my classes but it was hard to find common ground with others, or classmates already formed hard cliques with others.

It's impossible to be prepared for every little thing when you're starting to go out into the real world and starting a career, but what can be done in schools to help reduce the ignorance about the facts of networking, and mitigate the damaging effects of this ignorance?

These mistakes have really hurt my employability. I would like to see less students, less graduates and less prospective professionals make the same mistakes I did.
Wear OS sounds kinda silly in Mexico, and probably most Spanish-speaking countries. It sounds like "güeros", which is blondes in Spanish, and a (good-natured) euphemism for "gringo" in Mexico. It's difficult to take it seriously.

On a related topic, webOS is rarely spoken because it sounds like "huevos", eggs in Spanish and another euphemism for testicles. We know our TVs have it, but no one mentions it in a serious setting because everyone would think the TV is very brave.

I wonder if all they did was parallel reconstruction . None of what was in the article was doable or feasible. Predicting crime like they said they could is just probably another form of profiling but just automated instead . Figuring out influencers in a social network is hard from my experience as an undergraduate researcher and community detection can be done but to predict people’s behavior is quite another. I wonder if any other customers of Palantir will have more fallout if people find out what they are doing ?

I don't know if I agree that the EU is fundamentally unsound. Federal systems work. Germany is one example of this. The US is another. States are stronger together. The unsound bit is half-assing it.

I think the politics side is really where the UK will find the rub, though. The EU isn't going to be pleased with the UK for leaving. There's a great incentive on their side to make it turn out badly for the UK. Which means it's a little bit like if Mexico got on the USA's shitlist, just so they could get better trade deals with Brazil.

> Ya this is effectively a non issue.

Yeah. If the new panel is presented as 3x or 4x 1080p (two foveal insets and one or two backgrounds), and tolerates 30 fps, I could run it off the old integrated graphics I'm typing at now.

> The primary issues in this space is latency

For immersive VR, yes. But as one moves away from gaming, and immersive, and VR, design constraints relax a lot.

There's so much ambient confusion about the shape of the broader design space, and misattribution of constraints.

I usually use my WMR (and Vive before that) on an old laptop with Intel integrated graphics. A duct-taped-on 30 fps camera-passthrough AR serves for balance, permitting <30 fps rendering for a software development 3D "desktop". Latency, and its variance, is just not a challenge here.

I can even do subpixel rendering on the WMR. Lens focus is so bad, subpixels are only worth bothering with for like (0.5 kP)^2/eye (of the ~1 kP square/eye usable area, of the 1.4 kP square/eye panel). There's no point in even rendering full native resolution over much of the visual field. And not caring about immersion, there's no need for barrel and chromatic correction, nor for blending away seams between resolutions.

Such a vast amount of effort is spent on dealing with "horrible immersion-breaking visual artifacts", which for some parts of design space, are like "meh, sooo don't care". Remember the skeuomorphic user interface fad of a decade ago? A calender app should look like a leather-bound calendar book? And... remember all the claims that calendar apps wouldn't be viable for years, because of the GPU demands of faithfully rendering light reflection off the leather. Yeah, me neither. That would have been silly. Just like expecting a 3D/HMD professional "desktop" environment to prioritize immersion.

I use Atom on a 2nd gen core I5 laptop with 4gb ram with no issues. I use it on a mid-gen i5 desktop 8gb on Ubuntu in Virtualbox on Windows aswell. It would be interesting to know what is causing these horror issues some people report.
Before the Apple Watch, I hadn't worn a watch ever either. Adjusting to having something on my wrist took a week or two, but it seems like just any other article of clothing to me now. I don't even notice it there.
I think Airtable's marketing hasn't always been ideal, because I don't really think of it as a spreadsheet product. In fact, I've actually tried using it to do spreadsheet-like number crunching and it's just not that good at it.

What it really is is a darn-fine visual database that only looks like a spreadsheet (potentially...there are other views as well). The ability to create fairly sophisticated, structured data models along with an easy to way to collaboratively edit that data is pretty impressive. I've been using it both in my freelance business as well as to manage lots of household planning stuff along with my wife, and it's done a great job. I wish the Pro plan were cheaper...I'm only on Plus right now and want the features of the Pro plan. But I understand the need to charge for good tooling.
