Something that tickles my brain since yesterday: are their obstacle detection systems active or passive? In other words, do they emit IR to illuminate nearby obstacles or they rather rely exclusively on visible light projectors on board and street lights?
I ask because emitting IR would likely interfere or even blind speed cameras (which use IR themselves to take night photos), so I expect this to be either forbidden or strictly regulated. Which brings me to the question: if it uses IR, and therefore detects it, could a speed camera IR beam, or any other IR device, in vicinity have interfered with that car obstacle detection?

Migrating to Kubernetes with zero downtime: the why and how

Dude, thanks for this reply. I think you sorted out some of my feelings about this a bit, and I think I understand more now. "...eventually becoming aristocrats themselves." is what I think is happening here - Bezos is a cool guy but he admires the scientists and researchers and want to be around these people to be more like them himself.

Me reacting poorly is probably elitist in itself - from my perspective the organization of this "party" makes Bezos somewhat of a poser if you will. I guess I'll have to do a bit of reflecting on this, so that I can have a more mature reaction.

The automotive cameras that I have worked on seemed to have a better low-light performance than this video suggests.

Some of the more recent OmniVision focal plane arrays (imagers) are really very good in low light conditions (for the price).

Of course, it is difficult to tell without a side-by-side comparison, but I would have thought that the equipment could/should have been better than this.

Who was the supplier of this camera?
That's probably the exact reason it wasn't released.
I built a Telegram bot to search crypto jobs. Feedback?
Hey HN!
I decided to geek out and build a simple telegram bot that would help people (individually and in chat groups) search and get notified about latest jobs in the blockchain industry.

You can play with it here https://t.me/cryptojobslistbot

> A brief overview of its modest functions.

In private mode (when you are messaging the bot directly):

- do `/start`
- then just type any keyword to search for it. E.g. `developer`
- you can also filter by location, by typing in `developer in singapore` or `marketing in new york`
- you can also filter remote jobs by typing `remote` or `remote developer`. That should work

In group setting (when you add the bot to your chat group):

- do initiate it by typing `/search@CryptoJobsListBot`
- further on, you should be able to just type `/s developer` or `/s developer in new york` or
any of the abovementioned commands, but with `/s ` prefix and get your results.

I have not built that many chatbots before, so not sure what are the best practices are. What features could be useful? What can I improve?
You missed my point. I'm saying companies like YouTube and Reddit wanted to be those kinds of neutral platforms. They just got beaten down and that's kind of sad.

If you're competing with the the whole world - sure. But I have a personal belief property is one of the things that shouldn't be so freely purchasable. Want to buy and own a property in the UK? Fine, be a UK citizen then.

Look at how Denmark do it:

"Unless you have lived in Denmark for a period of at least 5 years, you must obtain permission from the Danish Ministry of Justice (Justitsministeriet) to buy property. However, this restriction does not apply if you are an EU-citizen, and if the property is to be used as a permanent residence."

http://um.dk/en/travel-and-residence/family-and-legal-issues...

Seems reasonable to me. Maybe stop shell corporations based in tax havens from owning property as well? Seems they benefit from the income while paying that the government doesn't even get.

> They've got their own package manager, own internal ec2 clone, own build system, own Linux distro, own deploy system

This exactly describes the current cadre of internet giants as well, and it does seem nuts, but it's important to realize why this happens. For one thing, these systems were often developed and made to run at scale well before their better known brethren appeared. Sometimes those better known brethren eventually surpass the internal tools. Sometimes they never do.

> The first thing they make you do is port to their tech stack

There's no simple answer to whether this is a good idea. Switching costs are a real thing. Even if what you're switching to is better, that superiority has to outweigh the cost of the transition itself. There's a cost to the parent company switching, and there's a cost to the acquiree switching. There's also a cost of running a bazillion different software stacks on ten kinds of hardware and operating systems, as I know AOL did in those days. Maybe that's part of the reason they stopped being a viable standalone company. The most successful post-acquisition tech merges I've seen have been very deliberate about the costs and benefits of changing each part, not adopting blanket "always" or "never" rules.

The YAML is evaluated at 'compile time'. I.e. the equivalent of the 'build now' step.

It is worth noting: this is part of a custom code-generation/build/test/parameter-tuning system that I developed for embedded machine-vision/sensor-data-processing systems.

It is not intended to be used by third-parties; or distributed as a library -- it is very much integrated into my scripted workflow.
Well, Python 3 already has a similar library that deals with this stuff, such as https://github.com/decentfox/aioh2.

Also, this is mostly intended for Tornado backends, offering compatibility with Tornado's request / response objects.
Weird, on my screen it's super big. Anyway, it's not about declarative programming in any reasonable sense of the word. It's about how to use Python descriptors to override get and set operations on object fields to do smart stuff.

I would like to use Firefox but I still use Chrome as my main browser. Edge, in fact, is my secondary browser (I'm on windows) and I use Firefox last. The speed of Firefox is much better than before but it's appearance is very clunky, enough that this is the main reason I don't use it. There are also other ways the browser seems to lack polish. I don't say this as an attack. I see so many fawning comments about Firefox so I want to give my honest opinion.
You are wasting your time with Cybercoders anyway. No quality hiring manager will give them the time of day, let alone hire them to get candidates for their company. They are literally the sleazy used car version of a recruiter and I wouldn’t take their advice on anything.

Well if the first amendment were stated differently than what it is then people would interpret it differently. I fail to see your point on that.

There is much that the writers of the constitution didn’t foresee. I think it’s ridiculous, in many cases, to try to seek what they originally intended. Society is far more complex now than it was then. I mentioned their views for the self described originalists. These people tend to have a very broad interpretation to what the second amendment means but narrowly interpret other parts of the Constitution.

The 2nd amendment has had many cases before the Supreme Court. It wasn’t until 2008 with Heller that it was interpreted to mean an actual right to own guns. As far as I understand the history of the legal interpretation if the second amendment. It appears the modern interpretation is out of sync with what the founders intended.
The problem is, being a corporate entity supported by other corporate entities' advertisements, there is not much you can do about it. The First Amendment does not apply here: with a few exceptions, you can't force a corporation (or any private entity) to promote something contrary to its interests.

This in itself is okay. I certainly can find places on the web that would censor / moderate videos on how to use condoms, pro-#BlackLivesMatters posts, etc. Not my cup of tea, but they have a right to moderate how they want. We all can chose the social webs we want with the amount and style of moderation we look for. (Seeing the places on the web that are "moderation free", I don't think that is a great option unless you really enjoy a lot of spam and nastiness.)

The real problem is really that, for the average person, the social web has become monopolized into a few uber-dominant platforms, most of which (due to their size) are going to pursue a middle-of-the-road-American moderation policy that (due to their size) is muddy, opaque, and arbitrary. If one sticks to a social vision of just the monopoly platforms, there is "no choice".

Personally, I don't use the big social networks much. The more specialized, de-centralized social web of 10 years ago (eg: forums) is still around, and they are less subject to big-corporate moderation messes. A quick Google shows that, for instance on firearms trading, several firearms BST forums still are around and active. In forum world, if a lot of people didn't like the moderation of one place, they simply went to another forum. That's something that's not always possible even with the closest big-social equivalent, subreddits. The web in general originally was a lot more decentralized than today. The centralization of social in today's web feels like quite the mistake.

R doesn't support non IEEE standard floats, what you are basically doing is using an external library (GMP), and special functions for addition, multiplication from that package.

Nor can any of the functions in R "base" use GMP.

Again, nobody is fudging numbers, neither R, Java, C, or JS because floating point is implemented on hardware so this argumument is a moot one.
Here's a list of every release we ever made: https://krita.org/en/krita-releases-overview/
A while back I was working on a system doing fairly complex engineering calculations and I implemented detailed logging of both the values used and the actual calculations performed.

This allowed me to be able to generate a spreadsheet (with the values and calculations in place) that could show a non-developer exactly how the outputs had been calculated (you could use the features of Excel to add visual annotations of precedents and dependencies).

I was pretty pleased with that approach.

> There are mentally ill people everywhere, not just in USA. This is the point gun lovers don't understand.

I want to understand why we're taking another attempt at the sisyphean task of banning guns when less controversial mental healthcare reform is ripe for discussion. In the case of the Parkland shooter, everyone knew the killer was dangerous, but there was no reasonable mechanism for getting an appropriate combination of judges, law enforcement officers, and mental health care officials empowered to do anything about it.

Current U.S. law says mental health is only a problem after violence already happens. We need other mechanisms. And we need funding and accountability to make sure people are actually cared for and not just locked up in the prison system. Police officers are not psychiatrists and jails are not hospitals.

>On the contrary, it's literally censorship. It's moderation through censorship.

I suppose you can say that but I don't think it's a useful definition. Censorship is a strong word, if we overuse it it's going to lose its meaning. Censorship generally has the intent of removing something from society at large because the elites deem it dangerous. Youtube isn't calling for the removal of gun content from the internet, they're just policing their platform. I mean, if what they're doing is censorship then what isn't? HN will ban/flag/delete many off-topic/controversial posts on sight, is that censorship? If your Dungeon and Dragon forum bans you because you posted porn, are they censoring you?

I'm not saying that Youtube couldn't or shouldn't be criticized for their move, I was specifically replying to the parent's claim that there was a change of mentality on the internet at large. Moderation or "censorship" as you like to call it has always existed everywhere, online and off. The real problem here is that Youtube wields a disproportionate amount of power by virtue of being quasi-monopolistic.

If you expect advertising-powered private platforms that host your content pro-bono to suddenly start fighting for your ideals against what they feel is their own economic interest I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. Especially if said platform has no serious competitors and knows a huge amount of its users is effectively "captive" audience.

Why Python 2 and not Python 3?

Short answer is: because Python 3 already benefits from a better, more complete client: aioh2 (https://github.com/decentfox/aioh2) that works with Python's asyncio.

th2c is mostly intended for Tornado backends, trying to keep a similar interface and compatibility with Request / Response objects.

It was initially developed in order to be able to communicate with APNS from a python 2.7 environment.

I didnt mean to imply that the perception is entirely fair. Infact, I think everyone should take a sabbatical and for more years. It helps in your personal growth which enriches your professional approach.

That being said, the red flag is how recruiters see this. And no argument on the internets will change this perception. Recruiters spend a lot of time and money hiring tech workers - the last thing they want is any indication that the guy is not 'stable'. Its a demand/supply problem.

The only 'solution' to this problem is if everyone starts taking sabbaticals and it stops being a big deal.

I only took 5 months off, so it doesn't look as "bad" as yours, but I found spinning it as self-learning worked as a positive for me.

So in the interview (I only did one…) I talked about how I wanted to take a break to try new styles of software dev and learn things that you don't often learn in corporate environments to be a better dev etc. If your potential employer cares about "passion" (shudder) you can spin it pretty well, because you're clearly so passionate about software dev you want to forgo salary so you can concentrate on being a better dev.

The real reason for these new rules are the advertisers. The more objectionable content you have on your platform, the more difficult it becomes to attract them. Take 4chan as an example: For years they were struggling to find anyone who would want to advertise there, and that is not entirely surprising.

Reddit is apparently also preparing an IPO in the foreseeable future. It would appear they are attempting to make the site more palatable for institutional investors by cleaning up.
