So were your founding fathers of the US, the founders of the state of Israel, the founders of the PRC, and the founders of pretty much everything ever.

We have this notion that everything can be solved with a cup of tea and a polite, perhaps friendly conversation.

It is this precise notion that makes war and terror likely - because we think ourselves better than those who came before, and that we are immune to those forces that dragged them into terrorism and political violence.

It was a perfect example of how integer math is not intuitive :-)
Recently I was involved in calibrating a thermal infrared camera at work. A colleague out of curiosity tried to use machine learning and ended up with model containing hundreds of parameters (weights). Yet it was not better than a trivial model using a Planck integral (based on simple assumption about how things worked) and a linear regression (to account for systematic errors), 2 parameters in total. And the simple model completely ignored time dependencies assuming thermal stabilization which could be accounted using a couple of extra parameters based on a typical solution of heat transfer equation. Initially it was puzzling as I thought that Planck integral should be easily modeled with basic blocks of ML models. But then I realized that Planck function in our case was integrated over a complex profile of an infrared filter and may not be something that is easy to capture within ML.
Illegal in Sweden too. And are you sure it wasn't your camera starting the fire in the first place? :-)

I think they mean "embedded" as in "embedded in a program", not "targeting embedded hardware". In particular the README states they intend to use it in https://github.com/spacejam/rasputin. This is a use case similar to LMDB, for instance, which has MVCC.
Nothing new here, the data is from 2013 and this paper is probably just APEX getting some ”longest baseline” fame in before the real results from the 2017 run, with a telescope on the south pole, relegate them to the ungloriuos support role.

I think the trojan horse for voxel engines is lighting systems.

There are already game engines that voxelizes the world to a very rough voxel representation to efficiently calculate indirect light propagation.

I think more and more lighting and physics simulations will be implemented in a rough voxel representation of the game world. Then, to improve accuracy and detail this representation will become finer and finer, until it makes more sense to render this voxel representation directly, rather than rendering the polygons.

What's missing is perhaps hardware support for rasterization of polygons to voxels. It's hard to compete against the super efficient hardware rasterization of polygons to pixels otherwise.

I think character models will be polygon based for a long time still, since it's much more suited for character animation.
Hmm. For the French part, "ciseaux" is true (the singular "ciseau" is what is called a chisel in English) but the rest is wrong.

Therefore that indicator doesn't reflect poverty, it only reflects income inequality. Income inequality has absolutely no impact on your ability to meet your basic needs or even having disposable income.

Banks needed to be bailed out, bankers didn't.

I don't know how it was in the UK, but in Spain bankers where bailed out. Citizens paid the excess of bankers. Taxes where redirected from health care, education, and other services toward banking. 10 years later bankers got everything back. Banks were bailed out and their owners where not accountable of anything. Just one learning for them, there is no risk when taxpayers have your back. Next time is going to be even worse.

In my opinion bankers should have to head lost their money. Banks should have been bailed out to continue offer services and to keep safe accounts.

How was done in other countries?
I have no first hand experience with unions protecting the rights of labor in the US, but I do see that nobody else is doing it while unions have receded. Forced arbitration seems like a significant problem, which is far more deserving of the visceral outrage you express towards unions.

Furthermore, electricity prices do no include environmental externalities. So when you burn so much electricity for things that many people deem wasteful, those people do have reasons to get pissed and yell at you in the internet. Wellcome to modern society!

You use them in the same way you use feature roadmaps: a rough report on when you’re promising to develop and deliver value.

You can combine the two if you think of the problem as a “theme of solutions” you’re going to go build features for in your feature roadmap.

You might not ever close a distinct problem if it’s core to your products purpose. It just keeps accreting evidence and pushing you towards creating better solutions.

Think about this problem as an example: Jane wants to listen to music when she’s mobile.

Solutions: iPod, iPod Mini, iPhone, ???

Each iteration is making a better way of listening to music when you are mobile. As technology improves better solutions can be built to solve the same problem.

Edit: I hate Apple scenarios but the iPod line up is the best example I’ve seen where iterating on solving the same problem vs solution had a remarkable result.

I have always assumed that, since lawsuits and whistleblowing leave public records, that employers can and do blackball employees who cause trouble. Or worse in some cases.
That is exactly what you have said, you keep trying to imply that the only way for an employ the address labor abuse is to complain to their management. This is in outright lie. There are entire government agencies devoted to enforcing labor abuse, and anybody can file a complaint with them at no cost at all.

In addition to that, it is also trivially easy for an employ to launch a civil suit. Any case with even an ounce of merit will attract lawyers willing to work on commission.

Even further, you have offered no justification at all for why you think unions are necessary to enforce the law, instead only resorting to the fallacious line of reasoning that it is up to employees to argue with their employers for minimum entitlements.

Blade Runner didn't actually use voxels, they used a rather unique technique that they called "slice animations".

The 3D models were sliced from bottom to top into a couple of hundred slices (depending on desired quality) by intersecting the model with a horizontal plane and storing the resulting polygons.

The engine can only rotate the models around the vertical axis.

I like to think of it like emptying a bottle - if there's only a small hole it goes glug-glug, as occasionally air forces its way into the bottle.

It's the same with air - there has to be a good way to get cold air in and hot air out with minimal turbulence from the two flows.

I think you're better off blowing cold air in (there's no such thing really as 'sucking' in physics), as attempting to blow hot air out doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be replaced with cold air from the outside, rather than warmer air elsewhere in the building.
I think the extreme difficulty and indeed controversy that the committee stared down when removing trigraphs, which are a useless feature that the vast majority of C++ programmers will never once encounter, speaks well to GP's point that C++ is very conservative in how it removes features.

Yeah they fixed the vfstab problem. It would have bitten you to if you used Solaris back when it mattered.
>Why remove a feature that could be useful? That makes no sense.

Cleaning up a language "makes no sense"?

Besides "could be useful" can be said for anything. Features should prove their usefulness (and in this case Guido regrets even adding it), we don't just keep them around in the off chance that they might be. That's hoarding.

Everything has a cost. In maintenance, in documentation, in support, in limiting the design space or constraining further development for other reasons (performance, for example).

Nothing is truly free. Everything has to be balanced regarding costs and benefits.

For example more than 5 years after the people passing out, scientific use only, and a permit from the family (or bones unidentified and left in an ossuary for decades). The governments allow thousands of permits each year.

Show HN: Set up a Linux Kernel hacking env quickly
Hi HN!

We've created a VM-based environment that you can use to test out your kernel hacking ideas quickly (and without risking your real machine, of course) by using a tool that automates a lot of the setup and development work.

It also serves as a good (but not perfect, yet) entry point for newbies because unlike a written tutorial, it runs commands while explaining them so you can see that it actually works. In the future we hope to have a more comprehensive tutorial for newbies.

Interesting. Do you have data on the various Germanic states from that period? As far as I know, they've only joined the colonization/exploitation game in the late XIX century, and yet I think they did ok before that?
> Any class marked serializable (in [...] included libraries [...])

This is the big one: as soon as you deserialize incoming data, any library on the classpath becomes a potential source of remote-callable snippets. And when a vulnerability resides in a library, exploits will tend to be compatible across applications, which makes them far more likely to actually hit you than any custom weaknesses.
As a french I'm accustomed with this point of view, but I think it is too often based on a false vision of what is France and what does french people truly want.
France has not always been the country you describe. Even if France never leaded the french revolution and always been more attracted to the philosophical or political side of things, France hosted a lot of technical revolutions and even be part of a "startup culture" in some domains, like automobiles. I invite you to read the bio of Louis Renault or André Citroën. They were true pionners and they share some life events and a mindset very similar to those of a web entrepreneur.
Today, we tend to despise all those huge industrial automobile, food, or aviation companies that didn't really innovate anymore, and it's normal because they're symptomatic of the collusions between state and business, but we forget too often that they started like startups, at a time it was possible to make of a small company in a disruptive domain a true unicorn. And many of these companies are the root of the social rights we beneficiate today. If we can't build new big companies anymore, our social system (which I'm fond of by the way) is doomed.
I believe France was at this time much more confident with technological progress. Maybe because time was more hopeful, company management more patriarcal, inequalities where less important, and examples of bad conduct from great companies less visible. Anyway. But the roots of innovation are still here, and on the contrary, all the social regulations are not necessarily a true part of what a complex country like France means to be. We must find the balance.

(By the way, I have a familial anecdote (really not significant, it's just pretty fun) on was I said about confidence in technological progress : my great grandfather was a blacksmith, as his father, grandfather, great grandfather, and so on. And what did he do when automobile replaced horses ? He became a car mechanic.)
It doesn’t imply that.

As a french developer with a 10+ years career, I second that. I've also been a CTO, so I'm well aware of the employer point of view.

I've seen many people worrying about not being able to fire people once hired. But what I've seen in facts are only two people needing firing, and it was done without any problem. What I saw incredibly more often is company getting into panic because their good developers would leave. It's not firing that is hard, it's retaining.

>This assertion may sit outside conventional medical science and mainstream accepted wisdom, but it aligns with my own experience.

Conventional medical science is still at the level chemistry was in the alchemy days. Heck, it was just a few decades ago that they thought lobotomy was a cure -- and tons of other BS non-scientific convictions held in the last and this century.

It should itself better align with individual experiences and physiological responses...
Alternatives or not, you open that 'risky' door at the moment you have to read the payload to know what type of data it is.
Once it's read, it's already too late.

Java serialization has not many ways around it, you have to trust the sources.

XML, JSON, ... used naively with reflection (e.g. new XStream().fromXML(...)) exposes the exact same issues.
Custom homemade parsers are also very likely somehow vulnerable.

The deserialization attack is a way to make the deserializer exploits vulnerable classes that exist in your classpath.
It's not generating or executing malicious code by itself.

The standard classes should be ok, or at least fixed quickly.

Things like commons-collection will likely never be fixed. It might be considered as a feature from some point of view.

Check this out: https://github.com/frohoff/ysoserial

My 2 cents:
- Secure your sources
- Know you format, do not rely on reflection to parse text or binary data
- Watch out with your classpath, but you can never know what new vulnerability will pop next weeks
In your scenario, inward. You are looking to achieve the windchill effect. Maximizing this with evaporative cooling would be ideal. You'll need a fluid cooling system that seeps liquid to the surface for this..
Cooling down your room and warming up the outdoors is the same thing, if it's a purely mechanical problem, because the energy to warm up the outdoors has to come from somewhere and the room is the only other entity.
Exactly what I do, use a standard temperature sensor, load your system, make the CPU and GPU cry :-) and see how it goes with cooling the inside of the system.
(This is of course my opinion, not scientific fact) The biggest argument for EA is that proper implementation does not get stuck in local minimum. GD and SGD have that tendency, if not in one spot then probably looping between many. Problem with EA by the other hand is that its mathematical model is based on probability which is quite tricky to operate on even for above-average programmer.
Sure, you can have toys like Swift Playgrounds in the AppStore, but real application development takes more than just Xcode. E.g. you need a shell and various command line tools, like otool, lipo, nm.
