The comparison to paintings in an art gallery struck me as the most compelling argument for viewing film in a theater, rather than a digital copy in a nice viewing room. That is the medium the art was made in, therefore there's an intrinsic value in viewing it in the way the artist intended it to be viewed. I hadn't thought if it that way and he's right: no one tries to pass off a print as being the same thing as the actual painting.

I also found Nolan's rejection of the term "consume" interesting. Here's a term that the industry has been really pushing, likely to keep in line with the view that watching a film is a single use thing, and he dismisses it out of hand.

This is exactly right; thank you for providing the example. This is manual recursion in a heap allocated space.

If you were coding a DP problem, then custom_stack might have a fixed size you can pre-allocate, and it might also be 2 or 3-dimensional.

For some image-based recursion, your backtracking doesn’t even need to store real pointers in the stack frame. For example when I’ve written a flood fill, I can store the return pointer as a one pixel offset in as little as 2 or 3 bits, depending on whether I include diagonal pixels (4-surround vs 8-surround).

How would an E-ink display work for a calculator? I haven't used them for more than about 20 minutes in my life, but as long as there isn't a lot of lag while typing, it seems line it'd be a good choice.

Much of the time a calculator is glanced at while doing math on paper or sitting idle while waiting for the next input. A 0-energy display would be ideal for this. It'd be interesting to see a breakdown of energy and energy consumption by part on a calculator.

I've tried to compare recursive tree DFS and iterative one (with stack in Python list) implemented in Python - recursive was slightly faster. I've not compared memory usage thought. Function call has overhead and theoretically recursive approach should be slower, but list manipulation (append, pop) in Python is also not fast. In compiled languages results can differ (iterative probably will be faster).
On the other hand, I feel almost nauseous every time I see a panning shot in a standard 24fps film. They look choppy to an extreme that makes me wonder how anyone let that through production but I guess it's just standard now. I would really like to see the switch to higher frame rates made for that problem alone.
How nice for you that you have the privilege and luxury to take that moral high ground. You would think differently if you had a friend or family member in the military.

If we're going to have a military at all then our warfighters deserve the best killing technology we can provide to help keep the enemy from killing them. While the military does do some research in house, since we live in a capitalist society much of the work will always have to be done by private contractors.

I think it's because of the motion blur. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8793346#8794004 With only 24 fps, we have come to depend on motion blur on each frame to give us motion information. It can be manipulated intentionally (like removing motion blur to make moves in a fight scene feel more abrupt), but if changes don't match what we expect it can feel weird.

In this age of portable devices and the battle to get decent battery life out of your machine, Electron apps strike me as counterproductive. There's more to it then just memory usage, I think.
The overhead that is being talked about in the blog post is mostly the impossibility to inline/optimize the C code of the callee, setting up the stack frame, etc.

I think you have this wrong. Moped type scooters match your description, the new wave of light electric scooters sits more between walking and bicycles.

Compared to bicycles they’re smaller, so easier to maneuver in crowded spaces (not that you should be riding them on the sidewalk for instance, but on a mixed use bike path or something they’re actually slightly less disruptive to pedestrians than bikes) but also slightly scarier if you have to use on a street with no bike lane. They’re lighter so easier to pick up and move, they’re more one-size fits all than bikes are so better for renting. They can go faster than a slow cyclist but the max speed, at least of the ones we have today, is slower than a moderate to fast cyclist. Plus you’re not sweating when you get to your destination which is the main reason I prefer it for a short commute over biking.

The downsides vs biking are that it’s less comfortable and worse for longer distances, and you don’t get any exercise if that’s part of the biking equation for you.

So no, every scooter ride is not better as a bicycle ride. It’s a new form of lightweight transportation with its own strengths and weaknesses, and the nice thing is it fits very well into existing bike infrastructure so there’s no reason to have to choose between which to support.

Pricing actually drops on long unsustainable commutes.

I travel Crewe to London every few weeks, if I want to arrive in London before 11.30, or avoid the 1900-2000 overcrowded 'offpeak' trains, without using the slow train or the loopholes, that's £261 return, or about 90p/mile.

If I were to commute every day (and it's only 90 minutes), that would cost £361.90 a week, or 25p per mile (for a monthly ticket it comes down to £1,133.20 for the month -- or under 20p per mile.

My laptop is high spec, but each running an Electron app probably reduces my battery life by 20-40 minutes, and if I'm running 3-4 that's a significant drain.

The difference in battery life between Chrome + Slack + Atom at work, and Safari + Sublime at home is huge. Quitting Slack often gives me an hour more battery.
I assume that doesn't apply to the "new routemasters"?
It’s also not a random draw. Genes that have a significant impact on human development are the ones that cause disease - and by extension, draw the attention of researchers.
There's no experiment and it has nothing to do with the EU. It's a local thing that didn't initially even have central goverment's backing. Public transport in Tallinn (1/3 of Estonia's population) was made free in 2013 and its expenses are covered from personal income tax from Tallinn's residents.

As to other towns and rural regions, which are poorer, the central government recently passed a measure to increase subsidies to municipalities in an amount that would allow them to make all public transport free, if they wanted. It's now up to municipalities to find a balance between fully subsidized, partially subsidized and commercial lines.
I know one of the whole appeals of Electron is the single target, plus being able to take advantage of Node, but I feel like some OS-intergration would be nice. Basically, PWAs for desktop.

On Mac you could have a PWA-like target that is backed by the built in Safari, so all you need to distribute is your app (HTML + JS + CSS) itself and it just uses the OS-provided browser runtime.
Oddly, I can relate to all the points (mentioned below) as a software engineer, except that I love what I do too much to even imagine giving up like the author seems to have. In fact, I had exactly the opposite experience. I hated computer science and programming in the beginning but ended up doing it for fun and profit.

> 1. I expect to not get the answer on the first try

> 2. I can tolerate ungodly amounts of frustration

> 3. I attack problems from multiple angles

I happen to be one of those engineers/persons who thrives working alone, values quality over quantity, and tries to be as self sufficient as possible, so I can really relate to the above points very much.
When you go for a mortgage you have to share your transaction history with the bank you apply to. You may apply to multiple banks and you may use a broker who you would also have to share that information with.

Let's set some ground rules. There is a mind-body problem. This problem becomes exponentiated once emotions become involved. Whether things exists or not are not important, though they might exist. The ego is the most tenacious self -one has acquired through existence. It's such that stages of the unveiling of the true self, are pegged with such trivialities, such incomprehensible nonsensible non-sense that an existential crisis becomes rampant upon one's life journey. The highs and lows of life, after all the pain the true emotions they are all part of a regimen that an individual goes through. Which includes the complete mental and physical breakdown of you, the world around you, and everything you hold to be true. There are reasons on top of reasons for this. From the eyes of a guru, you are exactly treading down a path tracked by those that came before you. The only difference is that communication is more open ( as we're "(largely) engineers and science minded folks here"). Hehe, dude as you break down the many layers of ego, and as the ego is about to show it's true face, it will falsify and destroy everything else before it even lets itself be known -- and then right there at that very end of that first step your ego conforms to the self, and makes you think that your ego is the true self, that it was always the One, that it was and is the truest self. People find it easier to believe that their entire world doesn't exist rather than that their ego's don't exist. So how do you deal? Well if it's this process of self, this unopened rose that exists inside you, forget the new age bullshit, the religiosity of the masses, forget all that you know about anything, and if you can still hold onto nothingness. That's how you deal. You're at the cusp of your life, where you need to make sense out of meaninglessness and turn it into meaningness. It is the most decisive battle in one's entire life, the battle of the self, against the self. And if you already know who you are and what you want to be, then you start finding meaning in everything b/c well. I wish it was a gift I could give, something I could let you download off of me, heck I could tell you the same things in a million billion different ways --but it's better you come it yourself. That's the problem with free will right? It's a Catch-22 --No one else can do it for you.

Some of his arguments are very fragile but there's something about the race for technology that I agree distort the art and the enjoyment.

Maybe it's a transitional period where people are believers of more K (4K 8K... ) makes better movies. I think not. It's like music, it's a balance. Maybe later the industry will get bored by chasing new features and moviemakers will go back to making better movies, not better photos.

If you block EU IPs but your business is targeting Europeans who are on holiday - well, you probably still don't need to comply with GDPR because you've demonstrated attempts to actively avoid European residents.

The test in GDPR is not "does any European ever use the service?" but "are you targeting them?"

For some interesting backlog here: As Rust moves from lexical to non-lexical lifetimes, there's been a few different ways of actually implementing it. The initial implementation had some bugs and was fairly slow; but Niko had some other ideas: http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2018/04/27/an-a...

The initial implementation used differential dataflow, but this was just merged in: https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/polonius/pull/36#issuec...

1kW is 'peak' rating, to get the real power a rule of thumb is that they'll run at that peak for 3-5h each day (depending on climate)

Pessimistically that means 3kWh/day, which if you're storing it efficiently (in a battery or as thermal mass like OP) gives you a nominal 125W supply
That does sound a bit over the top, but from what I understand really helpful in the end. I don't think my father would go quite this far, but if he'd read your comment he would probably do likewise.

FWIW I'm still at a point in life where death is just an occasional, fleeting thought, but now I'm thinking that going 'over the top' like your father might be worth doing. If I were to die unexpectedly I'd very much like my family to have access to all my files (I encrypt the shit out of everything), to know things I never told them, and to be able to grieve without having to worry too much about the 'practical' matters. Thanks a ton for your comment (assuming I interpreted it right)!
True, but it gradually consolidates with time. There used to be several city bus companies here in Bergen, then just two, then they merged into one. Municipality was major stakeholder in both and encouraged the merger. City tram is a separate company but also owned by the municipality.

Taxis are a different story, most of them are private franchizes and it's working pretty well. Part of the reason ridesharing services were unable to gain any foothold here I believe.

Yeah, that’s true. I would expect manual recursion in Python using append/pop on a list based stack to be slower than native recursion. You might try pre-allocating your entire stack in a list or numpy array, and not using append & pop during the recursion at all. I might expect that to be faster than native recursion.
