In reality it's the size yes, but there is an inherent delay because of the way B-frames work. You'll need to buffer 2-3 frames worth 33ms each (for NTSC), so 66-99ms delay regardless of throughput.

Audio doesn't have such a concept, you get 33ms worth of audio, you can play it right away.

Of course, you can opt to not have b-frames and negate that issue.
Wow this is amazing but scary like GATTACA the movie.
I don't think that taking the most used and cheapest of our three main food-producing domesticated animals is a good data point to decide what is and isn't "unusual" in this context. Given that it is an animal whose relationship to humans includes the most extreme of exploitations, meaning trade-off to push this to extremes to get a specific benefit is more extreme than anywhere else[0], it likely represents the most extreme outlier.

This is a very different context than the health of wild/pet axolotls.

[0] Well, short of lab animals who have been deliberately inbred to effectively be clones. But that kind of breaks the purpose of this coefficient by definition.
> What are the problems with bubbles if investors can be cushioned from their worst effects when they occur?

Leverage, basically. Suppose you and a lot of other people make a six-figure salary. You're all able to borrow multiples of that figure to buy houses, which pushes the price of housing up. Banks lend freely, on the assumption that the good times won't end.

Then something changes and the high salaries dry up. The lack of high-income jobs mean that 1/ house prices fall, and 2/ people can't service their mortgage. The losses are passed on to the banks and from there to the rest of the economy.

What I'm describing is an amalgamation of 2000 and 2008, but I think there's a real risk of it happening, especially in an environment of rising interest rates. Leverage is dangerous and few people escape a bubble unscathed.
My feeling is it tries to fix people problem with tech. If you have reasonable manager who would respect people time instead of bomb dropping, you don't need the tool. If you have micromanager, you won't get to him with the tool.
Anybody have an idea how to put this into practice? I recently tried streaming video over wifi from a Raspberry (for a robotics hobby project) , and everything I tried was either unusable or very delayed.

Is there an open source low latency video streaming solution for hobbyists?
Yup, it's not like people working manual labor or machine shop labor can kill themselves or others if they're tired. Clearly the fact that we need to think about overengineered microservices written in JavaScript means our lives are just as hard.

For fuck's sake HN we're talking about waking up and going to work. Most of us here are getting paid $100k+ (or twice that in SV) to type for a living. Stop trying to pretend your life is so difficult because you need to set an alarm, be presentable at an office, and work normal hours.

Nonprofits are relatively underserved by tech workers. I've tried to get many of my friends to join me but the allure of bigco paychecks is simply too much. This is a pretty general answer but so's your question :)

I think if you pick a nonprofit with a mission that you feel passionate enough about to really give it your all then there's a good chance for you to quickly become a double-digit percentage of global technical productivity in a particular charitable domain.

For me it's been developing tools (mobile app and website) to help people with substance abuse issues communicate with their loved ones, themselves, and medical professionals.
RCS uses your data plan[0], so it's unlikely carriers will bother charging per message. I already have unlimited international SMS and MMS on my plan anyway. Charging per message on RCS would just mean the protocol would fail and push people to the multitude of other options.

Don't know about the parent but it's so legal in SF and the Peninsula that plenty of sidewalk spaces have sharrows (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_lane_marking) or signs indicating cyclists are allowed use of the path. These signs aren't necessary for cyclists to use the sidewalk though: we're simply allowed to unless a sign explicitly prohibits it.

Besides the point isn't that cyclists in these spaces shouldn't have to look out for pedestrians, it's that pedestrians make it hard even for other pedestrians to navigate and that perhaps an inequitable share of responsibility for observing one's surroundings exists.
So a writer for Reason, the supposedly libertarian magazine, comes out in favor of government-funded road building instead of government-funded transit? Way to stand on principle there.
I’m guessing the OP is taking a genetic point of view. Natural selection doesn’t really care about the particulars of why reproduction failed to take place, just that it failed to take place.
Being a Drupal user since 2000(yes, that's 18 years) I now am moving all my sites to wordpress. Never liked Drupal 8 is the main reason.

That been said, Drupal 8 might be a good fit for large sites that needs flexibility and customization, for most (smaller) projects though, wordpress seems a better choice these days, its popularity proves that.
For me, the satisfaction from a project is approximately 50% process, 25% recognition and 25% cool factor.

Cool factor is just working on cutting edge stuff or with some tech I'm super excited about.

Recognition comes from the community your are doing the project for (team, manager, etc.) recognizing its importance. This typically only happens if you pick projects which solve a business need and communicate that. Preferably lead to higher revenue.

Process is the end to end process of systematic identification of the problem via concrete quantitative metrics, formulating a solution using a scientific process, building the system following sound design principles, etc. It's kind of difficult to concretely define. What it is not is putting out fire after fire everyday.

This is the recipe of successful project I enjoy nowadays.

The recipe changes from person to person and time to time. The way to figure out your recipe is to introspect. Cut out the noise of FOMO, hyped tech, etc.

A good article I have read recently about deciding what you want is https://waitbutwhy.com/2018/04/picking-career.html.
This will explain how to introspect in great detail.
So Tesla is using its drivers as guinea pigs in a high steaks game that could result in death?

A lot of people want to treat Tesla like they're just a tech company, while ignoring that the "A/B test" conducted here could literally get people killed (and has).

For example, in the most recent death some owners are claiming that an over-the-air software update caused the issue (lane centering), it made their cars drive differently. In tech regular updates are common, but normally the biggest consequence for getting one wrong is angry customers, not dead customers.

It's (in my view) actually part of a more fundamental cultural issue that glorifies ignorance and faith. Faith is not a bad thing, but you shouldn't base your decisions on it if it is not necessary. Until that issue gets fixed, everyone can start voting democrat (or that other third flavour nobody seems to like) but it won't actually do anything. All the insane people will flock to the democratic party (because that's where all the power is!) and you'll have a new giant problem, just with a different name.
Because they are looking at the wrong places. Business that knows about UpWork already knows how to handle race to the bottom. 99% of businesses in the US do not.

Being a contract programmer is dating. Are you a super star with great skills and great personality? Fantastic, you can do equivalent of $550/h and still work 30-40 hour weeks ( translation: you are super hot, super fit and rich - you get to play with anyone you want ). Are you just OK? Well, start taking $30/h jobs that give you same 30-40 hours but live in a place where you can buy a house for $40k.
taking 100,000 years to emerge from a primal society of upright hominids to a diffuse and varied clanish tribes, each with its own tailored behavior constraints, is not easily disrupted. expecting another, violently defended region, to accept at face value what another region of peoples deems 'acceptable' is quite naive, humans dont like to change if it means relearning a completely different way of life. pecking orders remain intact, even as 'ownership' of areas passes on from one generation to the next. in addition to the logarythmic increase in populations demanding the same priviledge of what was once plentiful and abundant resources, and theres no end to squabbling and elbowing amongst the hordes for the 'leaders' to settle. its only going to get worse, even as the communication networks increase the melting together.
I'm Polish, I can understand 80% when Ukrainians speak without ever learning it (and about 50% of Russian).

But only few years ago I've learnt cyrylic script (by accident, when I was in L'viv for a week ;) ). It's not hard, but it takes time, and I still have to say each letter in my mind when I read cyrylic, it's awkward and takes a long time compared to Latin-based foreign languages.

This is doable in O(n) time and O(1) memory. Sum the list once. Then start from the beginning, collecting a running total and subtracting from the sum for a running difference.
What’s New in Deep Learning Research: Learning by Playing
Lidar will get cheap before vision gets good. There is no one in the industry who is serious about fully autonomous vehicles talking trash about Lidar.
Not true. The latest work is showing that racial differences are real and determinant of IQ. I understand that this is unpalatable, and perhaps not something we should dwell upon too far. But if it comes to an argument we should admit the truth, however unpleasant.
I have to say, my current (and first, fwiw) job is quite rewarding. I work for a company that does telemetrics and analytics in a sector of the automotive industry. We're pretty small, and we do a lot, but it means I never get bored.

I started as an iOS dev 7 years ago, and on the job I've gotten back-end Java experience, learned everything I know about SQL, and gotten my hands dirty in firmware development, and learned a ton about EE in general. We design all our hardware in house, and between the 3D printers we use for building cases and housings, and my boss being an EE, we've done the cycle of:

Customer idea -> Prototype Board -> Firmware Development -> Customer Testing in the field

in under 3 weeks. It obviously comes with the occasional stress, but honestly when the alternative in my area is writing Insurance or Healthcare software, I'll take this any day. We're a mature company that has startup tendencies and a startup size. I'm not afraid to make mistakes, I'm not afraid to suggest new idea/technologies, and we're constantly evolving. We rarely say no (within reason), and we'll always give an idea a shot.

Maybe you need to find situation like mine? I know others exist, just dig into a niche, especially ones that are in an industry where others aren't using technology to the fullest potential.
I get the ease of use for login/authentication. However, one thing that I'm running into is that I have a child user account setup on my tablet so my kids can use it without having an email. I tried to get my kid to use this app this morning but this account doesn't allow authentication so I just get an error: "there are no accounts to select". If I had an alternate way to sign-in I could get my kid involved in coding.

Getting people a product they love is a great feeling — my current gig is super interesting because customers love our product, and it’s also one of the easiest products for everyone around me (my friends and family) to understand and experience: fresh, healthy food, convenience without compromise! It also has a broad appeal — everyone on earth will at least try it.
You are right there are differences, but I don't think they are so huge.

Collecting something, having a binder with your collection, showing it to people... is an attractive activity for many, and may not be that different from playing against said people.

I was deep into MtG (playing in tournaments, wining a few small ones, throwing a few hundred bucks at it), although I've never gotten into any other collection hobby.

To me, playing was the best part and what gave meaning to the rest of it. I loved the competitiveness, and coming up with strategies... but also the social aspects of it, of seeing others do the same activities. Many of these social aspects can still be there for "collecting without playing"-alternatives right? I enjoyed greatly seeing rare cards in other peoples collection, and getting a few of my own (rare editions, customized units, misprints...)

So yeah, for people that only care about the competitive aspects, MTG is totally different from baseball cards; for others, both hobbies may share many aspects.

BA/Project Manager to a startup in the EDU market. I had the chance to work in a very heterogeneous team composed of psychologists, lawyers and software engineers.

The set of products were quite visionary and "ahead of their time". I came to see equivalent products years later when I moved to a global company, so that gave me a special feeling that, back then, I was working on something really futuristic, and that is in some way rewarding.

I worked from home, and it was just when my first kid was borne. Work-life balance was great, and I have no doubt it helped me stay motivated and productive.
some students are impacted by those games and could not focus and think deeply. While violent games do not produce killers in real life, many if not all young killers are heavy violent game players.
Teaching, academic research and OSS.
Heh, I have been writing "crappy scheme" in Perl (and more recently JS) for years. Perl is actually kind of nice to use as a functional programming language, once you get used to thinking of it as such.

"Higher Order Perl" is a great book and I still refer to it as a general reference for FP concepts and techniques.
As a person attempting to learn french atm, I definitely don't share your admiration for french - it's badly designed language with tons of hacks to make it somehow work, meaning tons of rules 'just because' and megatons of exceptions to them, again 'just because'. Not much logic, you have to memorize it all, listening for beginners sucks simply because they don't pronounce a lot of stuff present in the words, so you 'just need to know what is that and why its that and not that'.

In many places that have both english and french as semi-official languages (ie Seychelles), very few prefer french - saying it's too hard. The foreign people on +-C2 level I spoke to disagreed it's a 'beautiful language' or 'language of love' - there are much better candidates for those (at my level I can't judge that, but listening to common talk of people out there it's just normal talk with a lot of swearing).

I wish everybody would just adapt english, and keep whatever weird stuff they have as second one - medieval languages are a curiosity, nothing more. In real life you need to share information, ask and be efficient. No place for some stupid nationalistic emotions in 2018 in modern society.
So far mine has been to bootstrap my own company. It has been my goal for a while now and I tried different projects while doing freelancing work on the side. The project that finally stuck is a digital signage service (https://info-beamer.com) now. For a long time I didn't even know I was doing digital signage: I just wrote the software to show info on a projector for a local hacker conference since I didn't find anything that satisfied my requirements.

Later I ported it to the Raspberry Pi and added a price tag. Surprisingly people started purchasing the software and I slowly build a complete hosted service around it. Today it's a real company and profitable. Why is it rewarding: It's fully boot-strapped and as such there there's no need to rush new feature in the hope of finding a working business model eventually. Instead I can focus on quality and that alone is fun already. The other aspect is that it requires a vast range of different technologies properly working together: From the custom built Linux distribution for the Pi, the visual software that controls the output (written in C/Lua) up to the Website/Service/Cloud stuff. And of course building custom solutions based on the platform together with customers and see those running in production. I'll never get bored as a result and always learn something new.
How to deploy Laravel to Kubernetes
OK, don't know too much about it, don't mean to open another can of worms!

But we seem to have difficulty even discerning the best ways to teach normal kids to read. Hence my skepticism that our interventions for something specific could be so well-understood that starting the intervention when we had the genetic test (rather than waiting for the classroom) would matter.
The obvious resolution is that all workers should be able to set their work conditions so that they can do their jobs without sacrificing any bit of their wellbeing.
> I fully agree. I wish the "autopilot" would just be used passively, e.g. auto-braking when it spots something bad ahead, or some sort of warning if it notices the driver deviating from the lane (and maybe only active avoidance if that deviation means avoiding crashing into something in the other lane).

That's what other companies with driving assistance features do. The system tries to keep you safe, but it will complain rather loudly if you release the steering wheel for longer than a few seconds, it's neither intended nor sold as a self-driving system.
Write my essay
A few things.

Open-source projects like Hylang and Arch Linux that super satisfying when you contribute parts like code, packages or projects that supplements the ecosystem.

Working as a volunteer on one of the largest dataparties called The Gathering. Helping to create a creative environment for participants of all ages in the form of mentors that help you learn new skills in programming, digital paining and music. Lectures with interesting speakers, and workshops that gives you hands-on experience on a broad array of topics with experienced people.

This also turned into helping create events for IT students in Bergen where you can socialize with other students across colleges and program.

It's just great honestly. And i really love doing this kind of work.
I agree - the fact that MT:G is actually an extremely good game seems to be underestimated here. I spent a fair amount of money on that game when I played it but almost exclusively the (at the time) $10 fee to play in a draft. So that was a social and gaming thing more than a get-cards thing. Since I was pretty bad I never got first pick of the good cards anyway.
> While the focus of Hillman’s thinking for the last quarter-century has been on climate change, he is best known for his work on road safety.

It seems to me that Hillman's position on climate change follows from his background of opposition to car usage, not the other way around.

I think that a primativist approach to solving climate change is bound to fail. The reality is that motor vehicles offer a convenience that drivers (and voters) are unwilling to sacrifice. If we genuinely want to solve climate change, we should focus on changing our technology rather than our way of life. I believe that if we're to make a genuine difference, it will be from shedding our energy's dependence on fossil fuels, not from shedding our dependence on energy.
I have never been in any Teslas car. But I am so curious about this:

>Quality of Teslas by most accounts is terrible

Can you elaborate a little bit about this?
A proper one with some kind of meat in it? Or just a bald one with maybe some lettuce in it?
Cities can be made to be enjoyable. The pedestrians you describe are doing the right thing. That said, I agree, we should devote less space to inefficient cars, more space/lanes to pedestrians/cyclists/etc.
This is done everywhere. Testing tires or medicines or road surface treatments. We all risk our lives every day to some degree. Testing how best to preserve them with A/B testing is a long respected approach.

And is it fair to put the blame solely on a cherrypicked action by Tesla engineering? A tragic coincidence is a compilation of events.

Google just release tensorflow support javascript and swift.
I don't understand why would somebody go with swift for this, if javascript is the language for the web.
with javascript you could not just make a web app but also potentially like almost native app using frameworks. so, where is the use case for swift? probably running on IOT devices? or is swift is faster than javascript?

Javascript should just upgraded its syntax to be more swift syntax in the near future, that would be a game changer.
>In contrast, a biker on a sidewalk is not considered equal to a pedestrian. In fact, it is illegal in most cases, but probably not illegal or dangerous enough to warrant strict enforcement.

In Washington State this depends heavily on municipality and you need to know exactly which cities you're riding through. State law only says that you have the same duties and rights as a driver when on the road, and that you have the same duties and rights as a pedestrian when on the sidewalk. When I rode to work I checked all three of the cities I rode though and they all allowed bicycles on sidewalks.

I generally choose whew to ride based on the density of traffic. If nobody is on the sidewalk and the sidewalk is in good condition I'll ride on the sidewalk.
Also worse, that Overwatch pack may contain 1 character skin (that you already own) and then 3 relatively worthless things like sprays, gold etc.

At least when buying a pack of cards you know all of them will be cards.
I made a frontend for nntp. Even if usenet is long dead.

I was following a group (it.comp.console) at the time using thunderbird but I didn't like google groups so I wrote my own nntp web frontent to follow the group on my smartphone.
I contacted some usenet server admins and asked them if I could peer with them (one here on hn), so I set up an nntp server (inn2) and wrote a node/express/js app to read and post to the group.

I make zero money from it, but people liked it and started using it, and now i have about 100 users on the website. I made it mainly for myself as a hobby, but I like that some people like what I made.
