In the realtime performance vs developer time tradeoff, the magnitudes are important... and also, their value.

For a long time, games pushed the graphics envelope, but that doesn't seem the case any more. So perhaps that's less important today, and GPUs have overshot gamer needs.

OTOH, development costs of AAA games are incredibly high. with larger worlds at higher res. Even worse at 4K.

So the question of the magnitudes remains.

There is no traffic "around" them, just the car behind. And if the car behind is speeding it's up to them to slow down if the car in front is obeying the speed limit.

This kind of argument is just used to justify speeding.

> Functions typically take concrete types instead of interface types.

Ok...? This seems like some arbitrary rule that the creators of Go claimed was a good idea, I guess. The author has offered no justification for it. In general I guess I fail to see most of the proclaimed benefits of Go, every time I read articles like this I come away favoring something like Java for anything in the application layer. I can see preferring Go to C for low-level and systems programming, but I shudder to think of what a mess the large Go codebases must look like.
The car remade human geography rather quickly, if a long time ago. The creation of suburbia was a fast-moving social upheaval on a massive scale.
Not currently, though this is a question that gets asked a lot.

One of the benefits of Gestalt is that all styling is statically resolvable. This means that all it's CSS can be built to one small file or inline styles. We get a bunch of perf. & portability for free. (Unconstrained) theming requires runtime style resolution which would negate those benefits. There are also things that we'd like to be able to change and tweak globally and those get difficult if everybody is running separate themes. We recently switched to using system fonts and we're planning on bumping the color contrast.

However, we're generally _really_ open to constrained theming (i.e. more button colors).
I disagree that the average driver has well-tuned instincts. Accidents are rare enough events that you can drive poorly for a long time and still not end up in a seriously bad situation, especially in areas where inclement conditions are also rare.

The first time you lose control of your car might be in icy conditions, and might be not just losing control, but spinning out of control in traffic. The line between in control and not in control can be very thin, and so hard to know how close you are to it.

I think the crux of our disagreement here seems to be that you believe size is the main driver of Rome's failure and complexity should play no (causative) role.

I have a more nuanced position: size was certainly a strong causative factor, but it had an intricate relationship to social, military, other complexities in a strong feedback loop that took place over centuries.

In large, complex systems, it's never one factor that fully causes another, but a complex feedback occurs; sometimes the system tends towards homeostasis, while other times a feedback occurs that utterly transforms the system as a whole.

Let's just talk about Rome in particular. Rome's Empire has often been called the 'accidental' empire in the sense that the Roman Republic and the people did not seek out to create an empire from the get-go, but it sort of fell into their lap. How did this happen?

1. Rome was embroiled with constant conflicts with their neighbors starting with the Etruscans and Samnites and developed the military and social institutions (a certain form of complexity here) that let them eventually triumph

2. To defeat their enemies, Rome eventually built a massive war machine (complexity) and found out that conquest was very profitable (selling slaves back in Rome, pillaging and taxing the conquered territories—tons of social, economic, and military complexity, but here have the beginnings of size as well).

3. However, this 'pillaging economy' only worked as long as Rome was able to keep conquering weaker neighbors and taking its population as slaves. At any point in the process, Rome theoretically could have disbanded (or drastically reduced) the size of its legions and decided 'here is enough', but internal conflicts, the quest for glory, etc. kept the military adventurism, because it was profitable for the generals and troops that lead the conquest (a complex arrangement, leading to 'size')

4. Administering a vast empire was difficult, so simplifying reforms (which, as you say and I completely admit, may reduce complexity) like standardization of coinage, law, military equipment, etc. occurred in the late Empire. However this was still in the context of an overly bloated (size) and overly inefficient (complexity) Empire that was only held together by military force

So I think you're absolutely right if your thesis is that size -> complexity. However, in certain cases (like Rome's), complexity -> size as well, and the combination is key.

And the rise and fall of Rome over the centuries can be seen as a certain path one can take:

initial complexity (the highly profitable, 'accidental' Roman war machine) -> overly fast, unsustainable growth -> forced additional complexity due to size -> failure to reform (and simplify) quickly enough -> collapse

For people familiar with Mask R-CNN, how might this model be used to detect clouds (in the sky) in all-sky imager data? An all-sky imager is basically a camera with a fisheye lens, mounted on the ground, and facing the sky. Assume training data is available on a pixel-by-pixel basis and is classified as either: (sky, cloud)

Since clouds are amorphous, it seems there would be problems trying to feed training data to the model. Could one simply use the entire training image by specifying the bounding box to the cloud to be the entire image bounds?

I'm exploring new models, having already tried Fully Convolutional DenseNet with semi-satisfactory results (but with very large GPU memory footprint).

I'd be willing to give it away to any who ask though as long as they build something with it.

Thank you for this table. Yet, the footprint size you measure will depend on what you are counting. We eat meat mostly for protein; and for that beef is about 10x more efficient than wheat, and 3x more efficient than lentils by weight. Also important is when you stop measuring, ie scope: irrigation, forest clearing, fertilizers, are no small damage in terms of causing climate change, reducing carbon sequestering ability of nature. The point of taxing is to make long term invisible costs visible; if anything, industrial agriculture has been disastrous for environment; if the goal is to keep this damage in check, singling out beef as a target for taxing doesn’t make any sense.

Spoken like someone who has never worked on a long-lived project. There is no beginning, middle or end. You joined when it has been around for 7 years. It needs to be around 10 more years.

Early and careful abstraction of absolutely every layer of your program is something you will always thank yourself for. If your classes only talk to interfaces at every single layer (no concrete classes talking to concrete classes, except for maybe a factory here or there to vend out said interfaces), your project will be much easier to test, refactor, and dynamically change.
