Your project sounds exactly like what I envisioned myself dedicating my life to if I went to grad school (ah, another life) instead of starting a company after college. These are all the requirements I try to set for my game designs and gameplay implementations, although I appreciate the details from someone in the weeds and building the project.

What I'm trying to gain more information on though right now are the technical details on how to go about modifying an existing game project to provide this, without building a game from scratch entirely inside of a proprietary AI game-gym framework.

A note on recordable output: It actually runs slower than playing a game because usually you have to do video encoding and file io in realtime which is slower than the RAM -> graphics card -> display pipe.

Blink has so much investment, and is moving so fast, that I don't think React Native's renderer can keep up meaningfully.

Almost all docks available share the same Intel reference design. They differ in the type of ports offered. Just pick one of the following Thunderbolt docks that satisfies your requirements: Belkin, Elgato, Plugable, Caldigit, Kensington and OWC.

It's the local state company. So no "sufficient competition" there (there are 2 other companies, but neither gives significant advantages, and you can't keep your phone number, which is a huge disadvantage).

Even if I went to China and bought the phone there I'd still be behind, no way to get a data-only contract for less than phone+data.

I'm not happy about it, it's just the way things are, and the reason I'll be switching phones next year (just because I'm basically forced to by the carrier).

Well, assuming there haven't been any, that doesn't imply people want someone other than the popular vote winner to be elected.

There is a simple way to ensure that the popular vote winner becomes President, so one explanation for why there are no marches advocating "a new electoral system" is that the enlightened realize there is no need to change the Constitution.

Way worse than NYT uncovers. The Iowa Attorney General conspired with the Iowa Lotto to charge the Iowa Lotto VP of Security with an "annoying speech" simple misdemeanor in retaliation for him blowing the whistle to Iowa Citizens Aide Ombuds investigator Bert Dalmer. Unfortunately for Iowa AG Tom Miller, the criminal complaint affidavit is still available for public records request at Des Moines Police Department even though the court records are sealed due to a deferred prosecution.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coates_v._City_of_Cincinnati , but Iowa still has "annoying" speech criminalized under Iowa Code 708.7; the ultimate whistleblower retaliation tool.
Sure, sometimes. But most software developed in-house dies fairly quickly (<1 yr) and instead is rewritten with new requirements versus retooling old stuff. Lots of software dies on the vine or becomes legacy after 6 months.
Never mind, I think I worked it out.
That study means nothing. Canadians will move to Silicon Valley, or work on Silicon Valley projects from here. Governments have little policy leverage on borderless tech companies these days.

Signed overflow will still be undefined behavior even after the planned change (making signed integers 2's complement).

This is explicitly mentioned in the page linked in that tweet:

> Status-quo If a signed operation would naturally produce a value that is not within the range of the result type, the behavior is undefined. The author had hoped to make this well-defined as wrapping (the operations produce the same value bits as for the corresponding unsigned type), but WG21 had strong resistance against this.
Yes. It still leaves you with the monster of Javascript frameworks, but the (very, perhaps more, significant) monster of running (and distributing!) a browser for every app.

It's also arguably easier to make it look nice.
Eh. They could become merchants or craftspersons too. The options weren't starve to death or kill for money.
that's a good sign!
Your second link is broken. Your first link, from 2016, indicates that Apple made a 38% margin.

>Apple's margin on iPhones is 59-64%. Samsung is 17%

Apple does not make 59-64% margin on their phones. This highly inaccurate figure was likely extrapolated by taking the retail price of the phone and subtracting the cost of its parts. The real profit margin which is likely around 30-40%. As for Samsung, their flag ship phones also generate a profit margin that is similar to that of Apple's.
A timestamp would work the same way it works in (e.g.) Google Authenticator.

Incidentally, I really resent how it's impossible to have a discussion of anything at all related to cryptography on HN without somebody bringing up the "never roll your own crypto" dogma.

If the ideas being proposed are bad, please point out why, don't just imply that everyone except you is too stupid to understand.

Edit:

I just reread your comment above and you did a perfectly good job of explaining why it's a bad idea, I must have misunderstood first time round: it's a bad idea because now the login credentials get compromised in a database leak instead of a MITM, which is both more common in practice and affects more users at once.

Sorry for saying you didn't explain why it is a bad idea.
Doesn't sound like it has become a mess but rather just a huge windfall for a lot of people and tons of capital raised by Telegram.

> Associations of Cognitive Function Scores with Carbon Dioxide, Ventilation, and Volatile Organic Compound Exposures in Office Workers: A Controlled Exposure Study of Green and Conventional Office Environments

> ... Methods: Twenty-four participants spent 6 full work days (0900–1700 hours) in an environmentally controlled office space, blinded to test conditions. On different days, they were exposed to IEQ conditions representative of Conventional [high concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)] and Green (low concentrations of VOCs) office buildings in the United States. Additional conditions simulated a Green building with a high outdoor air ventilation rate (labeled Green+) and artificially elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels independent of ventilation.

> Results: On average, cognitive scores were 61% higher on the Green building day and 101% higher on the two Green+ building days than on the Conventional building day (p < 0.0001). VOCs and CO2 were independently associated with cognitive scores.

> Conclusions: Cognitive function scores were significantly better under Green+ building conditions than in the Conventional building conditions for all nine functional domains. These findings have wide-ranging implications because this study was designed to reflect conditions that are commonly encountered every day in many indoor environments.
Actually that image perfectly represents the concept. To get to the moon they had to abandon puller rockets (like the one in the image), and use pusher rockets instead. That isn't just a higher tree, that's completely re-imagining the way a rocket works.

So "higher trees" might be a good way to learn how to re-engineer the idea so that you can get to the moon.
There was a great keynote about this at this year's RailsConf

The argument was essentially that if Twitter had instead chosen a language that was more natively inclined toward scalability, they would have necessarily hired 10x as many engineers and they would not have succeeded at building the product that people use to tell each other what bar they are at, simply, which ultimately was the braindead simple thing (that you can probably scale just fine in any language) which drove their success... it wasn't any great technological feat that made Twitter successful, it was pretty much just the "Bro" app that people loved.

(The talk was called "Rails Doesn't Scale" and will be available soon, but RailsConf2018 evidently hasn't posted any of the videos yet.)
Many developers want to install it for local development - presumably this is a particular popular sentiment _at Apple_. There is a FreeBSD port already, however [1].

This has been a thing for a long time.

We backfill with people from elsewhere who can't get US visas.

and another study that demonstrates the silliness of lumping all of STEM together. overall, 1 in 4. In CS, 6 in 10.

Roughly doubling pay would help. Even then if I really want to work on cool stuff I'm probably heading south.
Doesn't sound too bad to me. They raised $1.7 billion.

"Added to that, the fact that Telegram isn’t in control of the flow of capital at this early stage doesn’t look good."

I don't understand that, why would they not have access to the capital which they raised? Didn't they sell the tokens?

What a shit article, could at least provide some details.

I like the way Ben Horowitz puts it in his good pm, bad pm document:

Good product managers focus the team on revenue and customers. Bad product managers focus team on how many features Microsoft is building. Good product managers define good products that can be executed with a strong effort. Bad product managers define good products that can’t be executed or let engineering build whatever they want (i.e. solve the hardest problem).

As an engineer, I want to find the demons that are out there in the problem space and assault them, I want to eliminate all weakness from my precious software. But from the business POV I know we need to provide value to customers quickly and efficiently with the available resources, which is usually not the same thing.
The only explanation model I have for this round is money laundering. Can someone with more insight enlighten me on what would make someone seriously invest in this with more than pocket change?

I'm not confident that what we're observing are "lossless vibrations," but it is the case that there is something that is "lossless" about what we call "unitary evolution." The signal we start with decays to zero after a while, but we are able to show that this signal can be (in large part) restored, demonstrating that much of what initially looked like irretrievable loss is actually what we think of as "evolution towards a complicated but coherent state."
If de-googling IRL, what is a viable webview alternative that retains not-inet related functionality in apps?
What are rents like in Toronto? Are they $700 - $1300 per month lower (the difference of $20k - $40k net of taxes is about that)? If not, it doesn't make sense to work in Toronto.

The same situation exists across the US. For example I can get a mortgage on a nice place in the Midwest that is half my current rent in SV. That amounts to about $24k/year. However I'd have take a pay cut of about $40k gross (or more) for a job with identical responsibilities and to live in a region with far fewer opportunities. It's a net loss.
I played with it a few weeks ago, mostly interested in Python and the article I read and the Graal home page didn't make it clear that the Python support is not even close. I tried a "print 'hello world'", and that didn't work at all. sys.stdout.write did work. I then did a simple test of startup time and Python was an order of magnitude faster than Graal.

The Graal Python prints a warning when you start it that it is a very early state.

So I tried Ruby, and I was able to do a simple print, and the startup time for Graal vs Ruby was about the same.

Looks like Java is the real target right now. A very interesting project, looking forward to seeing where it goes.

"eyeo does mention that smaller websites can be whitelisted for free. In fact, they claim that around 90 percent of their partners are given this service free of charge.

But that means diddly when we all know that nearly all global ad revenue goes to just two companies: Google and Facebook."

So 90% of websites get it for free, and mainly Google and Facebook have to pay. I think the author intends for me to be outraged, but I'm not.

I'm also not having any reaction to the "acceptable ads" the author thinks I'm supposed to find unacceptable. They're clickbait, sure, but they fit the "no animations, no sounds, and no flashy colors" criteria.

Full disclosure: I wrote this post.

I'm sure a lot of us here have already embraced uBlock Origin. It seems to be universally acclaimed on most tech forums.

Before I wrote this post, I wasn't aware that eyeo served ads directly, which is what prompted me to write it.
I think one of the points that this and some of the other comments may be missing is that this isn't electron with vim keybindings, it's an electron gui for a real (neo)vim process running in the background. All your standard vim features are there. A user only familiar with Oni shouldn't have much trouble using a standard vim install.

There's definitely an argument to be made that Oni may not add much over running vim in a terminal, especially given the increased resource requirements inherent to electron, and I'd certainly like to see a high performance cross platform neovim gui that doesn't use electron, but I think Oni at least delivers a very useful experience on its own by building on top of all the work already invested into vim.

I have considered this before even making the post. (I also have considerable experience with these biases because i have for years run a community with thousands of users visiting each day.) I could point out examples, but i don't think that would be productive.

Right now i'm thinking that your bias in perception is that you tend to look mostly at technical topics where there is no opportunity for this kind of rift without going obviously off-topic. (What your perception of HN is is highly determined by which comment threads you look at.)

There is no 'hold' stage for luggage other than for stuff that is suspect, it is a pretty straight line from the plane to the belt in most airports. So you'd have to redesign the airport to account for the person that wants to go and eat a steak in the taxfree zone until they exit the airport.

Anyway, good luck with your patents, I hope it works out for you.
We are in a planned economy. Just not directly government planned. There are very few industries in the US that consist of free economic agents.

I’d hazard to guess that most postwar US economic activity was indirectly fueled by government policy, and it has shifted in some ways to large cartels.
Brand New – Free WordPress Theme – Nectaria
The mantra tends to be “just use SQL” or “just use SQL, unless...”. Similar to the advice “just use an int, unless...”.

The wisdom in that is usually pretty sage. Reach for a SQL database unless there are reasonable and concrete reasons not to. Then, evaluate whether there’s a need to roll your own, or if there’s something you can grab right off the shelf.

I’d argue there are plenty of perfectly valid reasons to roll your own, and it’s not particularly difficult if you build on an already-proven storage foundation (file system, LMDB, etc.)
Dual-domain nature of CS and personal struggle with it

Canadian here (who lives outside of Canada but recently did a stint there for a bit) and this will sound negative but f-it. Canadian culture sucks when it comes to trying new things. Canada has some extra safety net but the culture is puritanical and conservative and nobody wants to go out on a limb and try something new and crazy. Not like Americans. Those that do are constantly questioned by everybody. The idea of being an entrepreneur, in the GTA especially, is buying a second house in the suburbs and hoping the housing market continues rising.

The problem of trying to get Canadian tech up to par with the US is much deeper than pulling some tax/incentive levers, I think. There are some really deep cultural issues that I don't think can be solved for a few generations.
The Meiji Restoration. It was somewhat of a result of the Japanese being contacted by the outside world and realizing that they were behind.

> Apple has already moved onto the next technological innovation: Apple Watch and wearables.

Seriously? Are there any number at all to show that wearables are a growth bet at this point? The Apple Watch (which entered the market three years ago!) has had an uptake at least an order of magnitude lower than the iPad, the last "next technological innovation" that turned out not to be. Tablets were hot for a while, but at the end of the day the smartphone market remains an order of magnitude bigger. The watch has never remotely been that hot.

Basically: innovation is hard. Wearables are not looking like the next big thing at this stage, and they are surely not going to save Apple from the expected downturn in smartphone sales.
Drupal exploit spreads Monero malware to site visitors
When I worked at Alcatel-Lucent as an intern you learn that 1G,2G,3G,4G,5G are all marketing terms.

What you want to pay attention to is the actual underlying technology and see if they are "Rebadging" or not. They use these terms to confuse people who buy phones. Similar to how NVIDIA, AMD and Intel will use new "chips" when they are rebadges. All of these companies have the same management systems in the same systems by Alcatel Lucent its just the big players can actually differentiate themselves a bit. Google Fi and others are MVMOs which basically buy excess network capacity and package it.
