It's really interesting Apple has put the overkill face ID sensor in the iPhone. I'm sure future iPad's will have the same too, possibly with even better hardware.

I also believe accurate tracking of the eyes of the user will have tremendous impact on the applications that can exploit AR.

AR is a tremendously promising field and Apple has gone the easy way, to capture the market and developer mind share. Oculus Rifts' and HoloLens' have failed to adequately capture developer mindshare as on date.

Just look at the measure app. It's a tremendously useful app. Though I know it will not have much accuracy, it will satisfy most use cases for normal users.

I am excited about the future of AR apps. I can see a lot of potential applications in Engineering, Medical, Civil surveying, etc.
Sounds like it created a lot of jobs in the local community. How is that a problem exactly? You would prefer if they didn't hire assistants?
Not really counterevidence, they use gatsby to create static sites from react code, it is not a PWA
There's more to it than that - these men were into their own personal liberation rather than helping change society to make their own underground organizing unnecessary.

(I happen to think it's presumptuous to make that an obligation for members of oppressed groups, but okay.)
I get most excited about VR when I think about the physical ways we currently augment reality with ugly physical objects.

If AR becomes truly ubiquitous, I hope that signs and signals can most fade away. Imagine walking through a city without street signs or advertisements or stoplights, or walking through an art museum without any labels on the wall, or an airport without screens and arrows pointing you around.

I’m also interested (but also concerned) from a consumer perspective—Amazon etc. will offer Shazaam for literally any object. Like her dress? Buy instantly. That house is tinted green because you qualify for a loan that could purchase it, but the newer one next door is tinted red. Follow the glowing footprints around that corner if you want the slice of cake that person is eating in the park.

Most of all, I want to take a walk in the woods and be able to identify any tree, fungus, flower or bird instantly and beautifully. AR will hopefully let us take intelligent guided tours of almost anywhere. Learn about architecture as you walk to work, trace important sites out the window of an airplane onto the ground below, see a bustling Mayan market animated over what is now a set of rectangular fields.

Was thinking the same thing
I’m well aware. And methanol is some nasty stuff. Soldering is already toxic enough better to not have your hands soaking in methanol while you’re at it. Having a skin moisturizer with denatured alcohol in it is just crazy to me!

And the only reason for denaturing is carry over laws from prohibition. Anybody whose dealt with addiction in they’re family knows how sinister and terrible alcohol abuse is. But in the most extreme cases denaturing does not deter people from drinking it! So we poison alcohol to pat ourselves on the back? I’m not ok with it, and I think people should be aware of how toxic denatured ethanol with methanol actually is.

Last I looked the modern research around soy has shown the estrogen concern to be a myth - along with it reducing testosterone in men. I was initially concerned about this when adding Soylent to my diet since I too had encountered these myths a decade ago and stopped eating soy.
At that rate it would take 25,000 years for 10% of the Antarctica ice sheet to melt.

On the other hand 20,000 years ago was the peak of the last Ice Age. Sea level was 120m lower than today. There was more ice in the Northern hemisphere's ice sheets than there is in Antarctica. We happen to live in an interglacial, one that is not even as warm as the previous one. It is far more reasonable to fret over the coming return of the Ice Age than to panic about minor variations in a warm, agriculture-friendly climate.

Further, another NASA study indicated in 2015 that the Antarctica ice sheet is growing (not shrinking) by almost 0.01% every 25 years. Did you panic over that report? More generally, is there a specific, perfect, fixed amount of ice that should be in Antarctica? has there ever been? by what standard?
If you are in a condo, your homeowners association should have rules about making noise, and the owners of the airbnb should be forced to take responsibility. If an apartment complex, your landlord should deal with it.
It's sketchy if they pretend to not be a superhost, and I'd at least suspect that they're not operating entirely proper businesses then too.
You're saying there is no hope for my Kickstarter campaign investment
It actually seems an odd anecdote to build a story around given that some of the facts seem to be in dispute between the host and Airbnb. Also, while I know San Francisco can get pretty booked up at peak times, it's at least surprising that the travelers couldn't have found something; it's not like their Airbnb reservation was super cheap.

I get that a lot of cities are cracking down on Airbnb and this is disrupting some travelers. This just doesn't seem like a great example.
I think it is like when people in the USA say that all BBC shows are of such high quality compared to all the garbage we have here. We only get the best of the best from those countries so we think everything from them is amazing.
Modern C++ for C programmers: part 2 (classes, smart ptrs, exceptions, threads)
I'm a big fan of "one-liners". Granted they're not always the best solution but they're hard to beat. Something like printing the disk space across filesystems:

df -m | awk '{p+=$3}; END {print p}'

I bought a book titled "Awk One-Liners Explained" on a whim a while back. And to this day, I consider it to be umong the most "useful" $6 I've ever spent in terms of productivity.

The style of graphics is superficially similar to early Super FX games, but the cartridge is just a basic ROM+CIC board with an 8-megabit ROM. Based on the fact that it has considerable "load time", I think it basically chopped up the game into working sets and pre-rendered any missing frames when transitioning between them, possibly with some extra streaming code for cutscenes.
When you eat up the marginal supply of housing it can greatly increase the cost for everyone vs adding a couple dozen low wage jobs for which they’ll also have trouble affording to pay rent themselves. Tourists are not paying taxes to the city, their needs should come second to the citizens that live there.
The fact it even had to be declared in the first place says a lot about the effectiveness of the local government.

Well I guess this fits under the same category...I’m currently rebooting my family’s business. My father retired but has been minimally keeping alive the LLC he founded when he lost his job. As a family we all sat down at a table, argued a bunch, and agreed to help him start it. My sister and I were great free labor as teens but unfortunately doing videography didn’t pay all the bills so my father went back to work until retiring as a webmaster for our local university. I studied business until I couldn’t afford it while working IT jobs which turned into development and then project leader. The lack of jobs here in NCFL made gov a nice fit eventually. Prior to that I worked in game development, television broadcast, and fintech fields all with concentration in dev. Companies I got to work with included CNN, Fox, Univision, Epic Megagames, Psyonix, Wells Fargo and a whole lot more. I went to my father asking if I could do something with that business he kept registered- he wanted to hear a business plan surprisingly he was no push over on this. It was difficult but he agreed so now off I go. The new pivot is really in stealth mode I think I’ll just say this will now become a “media” company. I don’t look like a typical developer I’m a pretty salt of the earth guy- people in my town think I’m a laborer or delivery guy. That doesn’t help get me hired. I’m also getting up there in years but gov provides the steady income for me to get started and so far it’s been going great. Along the way I’m open sourcing tools and getting a lot of support that way- if I can help someone out we get some good R&D in return. So to summarize- lack of jobs in the area and lack of formal CS education that would be my reason. I love my dad he taught me everything it all started with a C64 we got at a garage sale. I was 8 years old and have been programming ever since. Technically speaking I’m a co-founder! So is my sister who moved to Paris to do IP law. It’s all coming together now and feels great.
This is what I hope it becomes as well.

You don't see advertisements anywhere unless you have your AR lenses on. It'll identify clothing types, museum images, give you directions for whatever you need, etc.

This is the AR of the future and I can't wait to meet it!
Yes, being skeptical about a 19 year old is easy.

The hard part is to do it in a way consistent with the rhetoric about “fake it till you make it”/“it’ll all work out”/“all self doubt is impostor syndrome”.

Arsenic can be distilled from pokeweed. Anthrax is also completely natural. Lead was always used as a sweetener, also completely natural. It's really time we drop the marketing lingo around 'natural' being somehow superior.
I sometimes wish we created more time-bound laws with expirations or phase outs (depending on the particular law). It’s politically more difficult to get a law repealed than passed. If laws that may have unintended consequences could expire on their own (requiring a legislative act for extension), we might have fewer laws like this on the books. Would enough people actually vote to extend this law?

Of course no one wants the law they’re writing to expire because it can’t possibly be a mistake.

This Is No Time to Go to Pot
I don't want to minimize your plight, sleeping above a commercial street can be a nightmare. And it's a bugger when your quiet neighborhood suddenly transforms into Tourist Ground Zero.

But cities do need to grow and expand. Quiet backstreets turn into busy boulevards. They have done so for millennia. The economic opportunities such transformation brings for the city far outstrip the cost of new sound insulating windows - not to mention that, for owners, those are more than covered by the appreciation of the property.

That's why I prefer a system where tourists and hosts pay for the creative destruction they do to residential areas, and put that revenue to good use for everybody else.

Well its a bit of a chicken and egg problem then, right? If you say they pretend not to be a superhost, then that seems to imply they have multiple accounts. The only reason they would do this is because their city has put in place strict rules against renting multiple properties out. If the city hadn't put those rules in place, those people would have one account and wouldn't be "sketchy" anymore.

Meanwhile the same people will instead now go to Craigslist or a local equivalent and rent out 50 properties without the need to create any accounts or earn superhost status. They won't report that income, it won't be taxed, and they probably won't have a legitimate business. Somehow this is a win.

Balwani knew nothing about microfluidics or blood work. He was a software guy who had gotten rich in B2B ecommerce during the first dotcom boom. And as Carreyrou points out, he had a reputation in the company for trying to sound smart by mimicing buzzwords.
Agreed. Very refreshing that he's not engaging in that parasocial stuff that most Youtubers do. He let's his videos do the talking. And none of that "don't forget to like, subscribe, and write a question or comment below" mantra that everyone else nags about. Drives me crazy.

I'm a little late to the post but wanted to add - if your car is eligible look into signing up for uber/lyft. Also look into task rabbit/wag or their equivalents if you can. Won't be a ton of money, but at least with uber/lyft you can be up and driving within two weeks with the option to 'cash out' each day's earnings (overnight transfer to your bank account).

The flexible hours are great to work around interviews and you can make enough to feed yourself and find a place to stay.

Good luck.
That reminds me of the xpg extension of programs on Solaris boxes - I don't remember the specifics but often if I was looking for something that wasn't in /usr/bin/* I would check for the xpg version.

I’d say you’ve lost the fight when you are comparing share housing, with a fully incorporated hotel chain

At that point I’d just force the owner of the shared housing to comply with hotel laws for that country, modified for whatever infrastructural differences there may be.
Thanks for the overview I always enjoy reading your informative comments, and bookmarked you in the times of GDPR conversations.

It doesn't seem that Holmes boyfriend is ready to plea, but even with 10-12 years, with all their fame and connections and financials behind, what do you think is final reality? Some 3-6 years for good behavior??
Well you’re either confused or being purposefully ingenuous. The original poster, samuell, said nothing about languages which compile to native executables, he said he’s looking for “languages with light-weight threads automatically mapped (multiplexed) to physical threads, like in Go”. Hence the suggestion of Erlang, which is valid. Further, making a generic statement that Erlang is “slow af” adds nothing to the discussion.
As a guest, it's sketchy because the property is usually not-well-cared-for and they've often pissed off the neighbors because they can't deal with nuisance guests.
The obvious solution that brings many other benefits is to allow people to work from home.

By simply removing the long commute the problem is already nearly solved, as all of a sudden people have two extra hours of productive work in many cases.

If a kid wakes you up at 3 AM, it helps to only have to wake up at 8AM instead of 6AM. Also, the levels of stress while working from home make for much more productive workers.

There are many other benefits, but making it easier to reconcile parenting with a full time job is one of the biggest.
I'm pretty sure that was coined specifically in reference to the Deskstar 75GXP series, not Deskstar drives in general. The Deskstar brand name is actually still used by HGST for its NAS drives, which seem to be reasonably well-regarded for their intended applications.

Hacker News: Incredulity and derision, the game.
Regardless, they appear to be waiting until 10 days before the reservation to notify people of the cancellation. Which is distinctly uncool. By that time, hotels will be more expensive than if reserved in advance.
I really don't get the hate MS gets for Skype.

I used it before the acquisition and it was usually ok, and I've used it since and it's usually ok.

I dont' like how I can't find some menu items because they keep moving, but this happened a lot before, too.

Is it just that they didn't progress the platform? What - specifically - have they done wrong with it?
It happened in the last flat I rented. In the end we had to threat the owner with violence and property destruction, so finally he rented it long term to some guys.

It's sad to get to this point but nobody was going to do anything and I was no way willing to deal with that situation. One tourist even pissed in the elevator.

The situation was just not tolerable.

According to him (in an interview) he only jacked the prices up for insurance companies.
I'm not doubting what happened in your wife's situation, but it strikes me as strange that this would happen at a company where both men and women are given longer parental / bonding leave than is required by US law (and, in China, more than is required by Chinese law). The obvious reason why the company would offer this, is because it helps with employee recruitment, retention and productivity over the long term.

And, given how hard it is for large companies in the bay area to hire enough people who fit their needs, it seems irrational to let someone go for only this reason.
1. We don't know that. We know that Asian Americans outperform whites, but Asian American can refer to 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc... generation immigrants.

2. Asian immigrants tend to learn the prestige dialect (the dialect the SAT is written in), so if their children are native English speakers, they tend to learn that dialect natively.

4. Language differences are a factor in performance but obviously not the only factor or the largest factor.
Same. Personal use luckily. Years ago and why never did it again personal or professional.
You can get the same behaviour with sed without "programmability":

$ sed -n '/^func Test/,/^}/p' file

Which means: match 'func Test' at the beginning of a line and print (p command at the end) until you find a line beginnning with '}'.

This is because the print command (p) accepts 2 addresses to delimit a range. I used regexes as addresses but, for instance, can use line numbers also:

$ sed -n '10,20p' file

This prints file's line from 10 to 20.

By default, sed prints the pattern space (modifications to each line) at the end of the script. The -n I used is to avoid that.

The marginal supply of housing argument is often a bit ridiculous. Many cities will give their best real estate to hotels and create entire neighborhoods where locals can basically not find housing. Meanwhile some Airbnbs interspersed through the city is the thing driving up housing cost. Just start converting hotels into apartments and you've solved the problem.

You say "tourists are not paying taxes to the city" which is certainly wrong for San Francisco and for most other cities I've travelled to as well. In San Francisco, there is a 14% occupancy tax and it is taken by Airbnb automatically during booking as they do in hundreds of cities. Compare this to Craigslist where I used to rent and nobody ever mentioned paying tax once.

Finally, many of these cities literally have tourism as their number one industry. Its a bit dangerous to start saying that the people who fund your city are second class citizens since they only pay occupancy taxes and not income taxes. In fact many of the areas against Airbnb like Miami Beach have bent over so far backwards for tourists that all they care about are the hotels now.
No, they aren’t. Sweet potatoes are extremely flavorful when roasted by themselves, yams not so much.
I've seen NLU and NLG described as areas within NLP.

I think generating headlines from an article would use a bit of both. A pure NLG task would be more like creating sentences to describe the weather based on weather data, or medical data on a patient, etc.

I'm not an expert in the field though, really just a beginner so my understanding may be off.
I guess this is good for me, I don't have plan to have kids. This can potentially give me slight competitive advantage since the employer doesn't have to worry about me taking long paid time off.
If this udQM with A above 300 were stable it would have been produced in neutron star collissions, along with other heavy elements such as Au, and there should be traces of it in the earth. So far no such udQM has been found.
I don’t fully disagree but I think it’s short term thinking. Some companies emerge out of the current demand, but a lot of other companies do work on future problems way ahead of time. SpaceX is a great example, openAI is an even better example. When it comes to AI we’re looking at a 10-15 year window before it reaches its full potential. Will it become “harmful” to people? We don’t know, but the use of AI in our industries will certainly be driven by the increase in productivity, increase in revenue and decrease in cost. Thinking everything is going to be “just fine” for a while sounds a little naive to me. Employees are resources and a business needs resources. Thinking that a business would utilize the least optimized resource by paying the highest price doesn’t make any sense.

If AI can debug your code today, fine, that’s awesome, you could focus on solving better problems... But how about in 10 years from now? Will it debug its own code? I think it’s an interesting question to ask - what will happen to software development in 15 years from now? From 1990 to 2000 we got the Internet, it has disrupted the way we work. From 2000 until today, nothing revolutionary came to life. Electric cars? Crypto? Unfortunately the last 20 years have been very flat and secured minus a few recessions or automations within various industries. I wouldn't relate too much on that. Tomorrow could still bring something completely different than yesterday. Again, this is my "critical" way of thinking. It might sound a little dark sometimes I agree ;)
