The article is about doing that for pre-recorded video. For live 3D VR rendering, it's already in some game engines. Batman Arkham VR uses it (it's in the settings). More info https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV42w573jGA
Yes yes yes. For years I've been hoping for someone to launch a business to solve this. It exists for dress clothes but I'm not sure if anyone is doing for jeans. I want to be able to just send in a pair of my favorite jeans and have someone churn out any number of new pairs of the exact same dimensions in any fabric/color I want. No more wasting time in miserable shopping malls trying on tons of pairs while being subjected to terrible background music.

Just did some quick googling for "custom tailored jeans" and there seems to be a few things out there, but not sure how good the service is. Might be worth a try
> Again, it's pseudo-code, so no, it need not be a "generic 2-tuple", not even needs to be a "tuple" (whatever that means in a given PL). In a real implementation the types are known precisely (Just like the types of the alternatives in an ADT are known precisely). There is no kind of "matching" whatsoever. s1 and s2 are simply two variables (for example pointers, in C) of precisely known type. It's the simplest kind of code.

That's not different syntactically or even mechanically from pattern matching over a generic 2-tuple. So if you want to do this as a social convention, that's fine. I'm not sure why other people would adhere to such a convention.

> The whole point of the discussion was whether to design the output as a single stream of ADT values, or as multiple streams of precisely known values.

No. The whole point of the talk we're discussing is that a single stream of chained operations that have failure states is difficult to cleanly assemble without ADTs. You've backed away from the error contingency in your argument. To the uncharitable onlooker, this appears to be because ADTs solve the problem elegantly and procedural programming turns into am error prone, one-off pile of if-then-else spaghetti. See also: every complaint about Golang error handling.

Ignoring the Success-or-Failure nature of the talk is to fundamentally ignore the problem it's trying to solve. If you DID have two streams of values that had no contingency, we wouldn't write code this way in any runtime with async primitives.

Human eye is practically capable of seeing around 8 megapixels, which is a similar number of pixels to what a 4K TV has (but obviously with completely different distribution). There was a great episode about it on vsauce yt channel. We are pretty blind, but saccading masking does the magic to make our eyes super efficient.

I personally had a lot of trouble with React, I didn't care for it, it was too foreign, too invasive.

Vue on the other hand just clicked nicely and appeared a thing of simplicity and beauty.

But admittedly I'm a wanton sinner. Who also don't care for Facebook products no matter how great and open and popular they are.
It's probably in a lake somewhere. I live in Minnesota, which is called the "Land of 10,000 Lakes". Actually, it's closer to 20,000, but we're modest. :)

What's known is that the driver, after hitting the cyclist, drove to his mother's workplace, and she left with him. The car he was driving has not been seen since. If it was driven into a remote lake somewhere, it will probably never be found.

Some of those “Chads and Beckys” (I must be old as I don’t recognize those terms but know exactly who you are talking about) bring in absolutely massive amounts of revenue. Furthermore they can often be cheap since they’ll work for less than they can make elsewhere as long as they can have status markers (private offices, etc.) I made good money employing them.
I don't have a problem with IPv6, I was just stating changes between it and v4.
It may be perceptible, but the number of factors that could affect the different systems in that comparison means it's not exactly a good test. At the simplest level, there's no guarantee it's actually even rendering updated frames at the rates in question if it's limited by some other factor, and the differing hardware may change at what point that limit is hit.
Especially in the eCommerce business where you might have a deal with a supplier. It's not unusual to be able to negotiate a higher margin the more you sell. Any single financial metric alone cannot tell the whole story of a business. Revenues are equally as important as profits.

No. Inflation has been near 0 for most of the western world since 2008. The increase is a result of lax monetary policy ( central banks flooding the world with money ) and asset price ( stocks, housing ) increases.

In other words, inflation hasn't increase 10.6% last year.

Even if China completely banned Apple it would not be Apple's downfall.

And frankly it would be dumb for China to pick too big a fight with Apple(and Foxxcon). There would be retaliation and rerouting.

And I'm sorry, we can't let China be a single point of failure. There's a freemarket saying that goes something like "if you don't let goods cross borders soon armies will"... but what if your goods(IP) is arming the armies across the border... and what if you don't have the capability of sourcing components to create arms for your military from friendly nations?

Ask HN: Is it more efficient to replace the workers or the management?
My wife works in a chain restaurant. In discussing her place of work, it has come to my attention that the corporate entity running the chain is using "cutting edge" PoS (point of sale) systems to "streamline" the "customer experience" via payment methods and customer review of service as well as stored information about menu choice and order tendencies. This little endeavor is an experiment using big data aggregation to figure out which positions can be automated in an effort to cut costs, which is of course my subjective interpretation. As i sat in the bar section waiting for her to clock out, i scoped one of the traveling regional managers. These folks always look the same, regardless of industry: out of place backpack, dress casual uniform, tired eyes, plastic smile. As a person who has traveled for work, i am well aware of the costs of positions like this. I started thinking (and this may be the vodka lemonade talking): if the efficiency bump is even remotely similar, wouldn't it make more sense to automate Management and keep the peons working for the sake of social stability?

As another non-American, the ‘Latin America’ thing stinks of the ‘Oriental’ label that used to be applied to anyone from Far East Asia in the UK. I don’t understand why they aren’t just ‘South Americans’ or are addressed by their national identity, as they are in the UK.

(Of course, if the south/Central Americans want a shared ‘Latinx’ identity then good for them, this comment is more about how Americans (the ones from the USA) refer to them.)
Ha, my favorite question. The video is from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skI8e5BCozE.

You can use Dreamscene for Windows 7/8. On Windows 10, I used VideoPaper, a free tool from https://www.reddit.com/r/VideoPaper/. It hasn't been updated in a while, so it might not work anymore. Apparently, you can also use VLC to set a video as your desktop background.
Because it wasn't code pushed out to users. It was code pushed to the factory.

Codereview is a methodology to get high quality code you can stand behind and put your brand to.

Maverick engineers making hodgepodge changes and knocking things together quickly with no oversight is the way you get a proof of concept prototype working fast.

For the factory, I take it they're still in (or have returned to) the latter methodology.
On the other end, Vue is a natural move for companies looking to move off of jQuery and AngularJS but afraid or unwilling to make the move to React, and I suspect there are an order of magnitude more companies in this category than companies that have already adopted React.
In regards specificly to the UFO test... The blurriness is generally not related to frame rate but LCD persistence. Ie, on a theoretical zero persistance 60hz display you would not likely notice the individual frames getting blurred from frame to frame. In this case the only real difference between a 60hz and 120hz display is that the 120hz display would have additional frames of motion. Your vision system would then has less frames to interpolate between.

In reality though, all LCD displays have persistence issues. (You end up seeing bits of the previous frame suspended over the current frame).

Higher quality monitors designed for higher display frequencies tend to also be tuned to have less persistence per frame. There are also tools/tricks some brands employ to remove / reduce the persistence (and blurring), which can be effective (or annoying, depending on how they do it) even at 60hz. There are also "120hz" and higher displays with such bad persistence issues that they are way worse off on the ufo test than a good low persistence 60hz display.

As an easy example. IPS panels tend to have a lot more trouble switching between frames quickly than VA or TN panels, so they also tend to exhibit more persistence issues per frame. This is then directly noticeable on the UFO test between these kinds of panels. IPS panels have of course been getting a lot better in this regard in recent years!
Depends on the jurisdiction, right? In several parts of Europe, they put RE ownership restrictions in place because they value housing as housing above value storage. In the US, not so much. Note the decline in foreign purchases of RE in Vancouver when they started taxing those transactions because people living in Vancouver were prioritized over Chinese dollars flooding the market.

How is that bizarre? Trying to enforce MVC is done even when it is a lost cause.. But you properly separate html, css and (arbitrary Code language to be replaced by transpiling) and all you hear is "I wish my graphic artist had to understand all of this and what a compiler does before he could fix my poor UX ideas.. and my copywriter should have to find my spelling mistakes using an IDE too."

If my graphic artist expected me to go into Adobe every time I needed a new background, I would ask him what his job was.

I don't think it's accurate to consider the internet decentralized. Consider the entire domain name system is under ICANN control with a couple dozen root servers. Or the backbone which is almost entirely owned by Level3, Cogent, and a few other regional carriers.

Redundant is nice, but it's not decentralized.

You can drop frames at 60Hz ss well.

But really, when you achieve 120Hz, it’s beautiful, it reminds me of when retina displays came out. We are a bit closer to realistic rendering.

> In fact, it can be considered one of the biggest technology breakthroughs in recent history, similar to the advent of the Internet in the early 1990s.

If this were the case, wouldn't we see the technology in the wild more? That seems like a bold claim for something that is still being vetted and explored.

I certainly see value in blockchain but the applications that are using it today don't excite me. The hype puts me off but I am hoping to see it bloom into other areas of software that aren't ICOs or proof of concepts.
The number one thing I like about it is that the UX when playing the game is very good. This is exactly why I didn't play MTGO. Other than the autotap sometimes making dumb decisions, it fells very good.

Other than that, my favorite game mode in MTG has always been drafting, and while drafting free to play is probably not possible right now unless you are amazing, you can draft a lot for little money. I have a win rate under 50% and I can play all the drafts I want to for about 20 dollars per month. If I was a better player, it would be even cheaper.

Qasar here (x-YC founder and partner). So im building a simulation company. Not commenting on Uber specifically but the reason lots of companies don't have great efforts is simulation is actually really hard. It’s not building a web application (tested methodologies, established best practices, lots of experienced engineers in the space...etc).

You can get a lot done (and get wonderful demos) through research vehicles. The issue with sim is similar to the issues with AVs as a whole - getting to 90% is much easier than getting to 99.9999%.

Also, there is this weird thing in AV (and specifically in-house sim) where pointy-haired managers think "if we put 30 SWEs on the problem - we'll make progress!". While raw eng horsepower matters in some software problems, when you are on the line between research and engineering, more SWEs might actually make getting a robust product up harder.

Another thing we've seen is in-house efforts overfit solutions. They don't really have a wide viewpoint (nature of how secretive the space is), and therefore go down paths which are just plain wrong but no one is there to challenge them.

> I've been expecting YouTube to go after channels that are primarily supported by Patreon donations with full teeth and claws for awhile now...

An alternative solution would be for youtube to compete with patreon, allow sponsorship directly and take a cut. They have in fact been testing this on select channels. On some big channels you see a "sponsor" button next to the "subscribe" button.
I think it's a much tougher problem. There is an unbridgeable cultural gap between groups on what "progress" even means.

I bought a Model 3 and it is incredible. It is the only new car I've brought because I've never been excited enough about a car to take the depreciation hit. Driving this case makes me feel like I'm living in the future where everything makes sense and it makes me happy. But that's just me.

A lot of other people look at this car and see a dystopian nightmare of oppressive degradation and downfall. It makes them feel anxious, resentful and emasculated. For some, it is even a threat to their livelihoods.

So, same object, two opposing views. A utopia for some, a dystopia for others. In the old days there were a broad societal agreement on what "progress" was. Not so anymore.

I hope society once again agrees on what progress means some day, but I don't know if it will happen, nor how.

A few years back when it was just starting up, Business Insider articles used to show up in my Google News feed all the time. From the quality of the articles, I thought it was one of those scammy overseas news sites that paid people with minimal English skills to "paraphrase" articles copied from a legitimate news site.

It's improved somewhat, but I was surprised to later find out it was an actual company trying to run a news site.

It's hard for me to go back to a 60hz display after using 144, and going from 240 to 144 feels like going from 144 to 60.

I played breath of the wild and it was almost bad enough to keep me from playing. I think 60fps is fine for this, but in the future hope to see higher refresh rates as an option.

My main use case from VR has been escaping reality. Having multiple monitors floating in space allows me to prevent distractions. I fell asleep in VR once. I woke up looking at the stars, it was very confusing but interesting.
Appreciate your comment, it sounds like Vue may be an easier option for you, if you don't want to write JavaScript. However, you should just learn JavaScript, even if you're doing nothing but designing components, will explain why.

I also came from jQuery (Backbone and jQuery was a popular duo, in fact using jQuery in everything was).

The way people wrote apps at one point basically was a stream of jQuery statements, $thing.add('something'), etc.. This created nothing but spaghetti code over time.

Now, we're using React to design extendable components that can be nested, or structured to add more functionality. Check out styled components below to see how much easier it is to combine CSS, HTML into JavaScript. Rebass is built on this as a minimal component library. I know this might be really advanced and you may not adopt any of this, I'm just showing you the latest in what we could be moving toward.

I don't think I would leave React unless JS/HTML/Browsers dramatically changed. The industry is too far into JavaScript code at this point to where I am concerned about job security.

Back to your original point, I don't think Vue would scale well for serious JavaScript heavy apps, so that's why I don't think it's fair to compare it with React, but that's not how it's being discussed, which is some sort of React killer.

The fact that you need to store all previous blocks (and content) to fully validate later blocks is an advantage in this case.

I was super into using hashcash for antiabuse in social stuff pre-bitcoin, but the difference in hashing rate in-browser versus in C even then rendered it somewhat ineffective at anti spam as an abuser could hash 10-100x faster, and the delays on the UX side for legitimate users made it a nonstarter. With GPUs and hashing asics now that gap is even worse.

(FWIW these days the Steem blockchain that holds the steemit content is delegated proof of stake, for block production.)
