Wait, we're calling S3, Firebase and any sort of metered charge scheme (aka pay per usage) "serverless" now? That's news to me, I've apparently been using serverless since I started programming as a full-time career 10 years ago!

Here I thought most of those were just "cloud" services or "third party APIs".

It has previously happened, in the special case of repos GitHub removed (like DMCAed ones). That is a different case from the original repo owner removing it voluntarily.
The headline strangely doesn't match the article, in no place does it say they are "overhyped" outside the headline. The last question revolves around pseudoscience and scams...but I'd hardly call that "overhyped." If anything I think hormonal effects in the past few years have been underhyped, especially in the topics of behavior between men and women.

Thanks, I haven't caught up to what the private equity plan is. My years to retirement can be counted on one hand, and we've way too much TSLA already for folks of our "maturity". I'll likely reduce our stake, but hold on to some for old-time's sake. Bought shortly after IPO, and it's treated us well, so I can't bear to sell all of it.
> You're are assuming that not using tracking will automatically result in a bad website.

But that's not what I said at all. Please don't just thrown in things like that. I said that analytics tools can be really useful in many ways to help to improve a website (especially a bad one).

You ask "why", well look here at the features that the open source tool we use provides: https://matomo.org/features/

I'm not sure if you've worked in website design before but many of those features are very important and effective for improving a website. If we want to spread the word about FOSS, and encourage more people to use it, shouldn't we try to make the best website we can? While also informing users about the open source tools we use, and having a clear privacy policy about them?

What about "Trump is Russian puppet."

I hate the guy and he does sorround himself with scumbags, but this implied narrative sounds like fairly generic conspiracy. "Scandals" like Cambridge Analytica "confirming" this just underline the conspiracy tone.

Maybe it's just people reading NYT, maybe I'm misreading the implications, but imo the GP's claim is not that outlandish.

I think I'm with you there. I don't have a problem paying property tax because as a person born on this earth, you're also entitled to my land. I'm paying a tax for the privilege of it being mine.
That's not a solution unless they also decide to invest their money on terms better for the borrowers, which is not on the table, which is the actual problem. Nothing short of a philanthropic outburst by the worlds elites or some kind of truly major crisis will change the direction our trickle-up economics are sending us in. A more efficient model of investment is just a way to increase the effects of efficient investment, which is money going to the rich.

One problem here is that, at least in my humble opinion, education should ultimately be (or trend towards becoming) a basic human right. Repackaging debt as wage garnishment while making job placement easier makes the job market more efficient, certainly. I can understand why people are excited. It doesn't fix the underlying structural issues in the American education system.

Of course the challenge is you're comparing Magic Leap's current Tech. with what Hololens released over 2 years ago.

What will be very interesting is to see what Microsoft have come up with when they release their next version (which is looking like Q1 2019).

If Magicleap is still well ahead at that point, then it shoudl go well for them, but if MS can leapfrog them, that's going to dampen their prospects.

My guess is the meme that higher ed is something you only do between 18-22 will disappear.

Also the meme that all blue collar jobs require a higher ed degree, such as bartender, waitress, secretary, day care worker, receptionist, all of that will go back to "high school grad" as a job req.

Of course with prevailing long term trends, "having a full time job" or "having medical care" will soon be a luxury few will experience.
Well done, this is fun. Like someone else said, I didn't like the fact that all the tracks were in my YouTube history without you telling me.
I've been learning Mandarin for about 3 years now. In April 2017 I released my own program to add spaces between words: https://pingtype.github.io

The best spaced repetition method for me is listening to music. If I watch a film 5x or see a flashcard 5x or read a comic 5x, I'm bored. But I can listen to the same song 20x and still like it.
That means that users have flagged the story (I'm not sure how many user flags it takes for it to be marked "[flagged]", however).
> as long as it is a task that involves a lot of "brute facts" of some sort.

I want to use Anki so badly. I have bought the app on iOS ($25), but I haven't been able to get it to stick. I think the hardest part is to distill things into brute facts.

It seems like most the facts are trivial and obvious if you know the concepts and I haven't been able to map my concepts to something on an Anki card that would be useful for spaced repetition. IMO concepts are not something that you "forget" once you have done all the work of putting the pieces together in your head.

I would love to hear success stories of people using spaced repetition successfully for things that aren't facts.
Note that both technologies are "augmented reality" - as in, the field of view listed is for the holographic augmentation, not the entire visible world, whose field of view is unchanged (but darker).
As someone said above, the title of the article is a psychological trick itself.
Similar situation where having $25 saved my butt from having to sit in jail three states away from where I lived after a petty drug possession arrest (a little baggie of cannabis fell out of my glove compartment while scrounging for an insurance card).

It's a pretty long story, but ultimately I paid the last $25 I had in my pocket to a clerk, and was released upon my own recognizance (Personal Recognizance). Ultimately ended up with community service; the case itself was rather interesting because the amount of product in my possession was so low the lab had trouble even verifying there was anything there. Officially charged with possessing 0.02g. You read that right. Less than a 10th of a gram.

For that and a couple of other reasons, I got pretty lucky getting out of there the way I did, and getting back home.

> I've apparently been using serverless since I started programming as a full-time career 10 years ago!

You have indeed.

As I mentioned above , S3 is a serverless service.

Last time I checked , you don't provisioned , partition or scale S3 this is done by AWS behind the scene.

Same for Firebase , same for many services.

Now the move is into the "compute" aspect of thing and the architecture.

Lambda basically replace, in a limited way , the compute aspect of your architecture (EC2) but obviously it has it's limits.

There is a confusion between "Serverless Framework" which is an automation of Lambda + API Gateway + CloudFormation , and "Serverless Computing" which is basically an "event driven" , "pay per execution" , "auto scaling / self healing" architecture.
Darned Good Stuff!

I don't know the phrase "Wrongful imprisonment" but I'd assumed "Unlawful imprisonment" which is a crime and I'd associate it not with people who were wrongly _convicted_ because their conviction means imprisoning them was lawful, rather I'd associate it with situations where someone's freedom is taken away by some process other than the due process of law. If you're wrongly convicted the conviction must be overturned, whereupon you're innocent and will be freed by normal operation of the law (assuming you didn't also commit some other crime for which you're imprisoned)

As example of what I'd think of as "unlawful imprisonment" there are problems in the UK with wives brought from countries where women, especially poor women, aren't treated very well - who are sometimes basically used as household slaves. The law against unlawful imprisonment doesn't require that they be chained up or in a locked room or anything, even a strong psychological coercion to remain ("You are my wife! You mustn't leave the home without my express permission") could be enough to make this unlawful.

Or you'll sometimes get people taking the law into their own hands, somebody catches a shoplifter and decides to put him in the walk-in fridge to "teach him a lesson" - that sort of thing. Again, that's a crime.

I'm guessing that somehow a chunk of their source code got marked as "copy to the bundle" from within the project's build phase. One scenario I could think of this happening is a bug in a custom build script that was intended to copy other resources (images, sounds, etc.) to the bundle and copied an unintended directory containing the leaked source code as well.
So encrypt large files not blocks. Then you ask for random segments and either the file is stored, or the cheater would need to re-encrypt a large file over and over, which would be much more expensive than storage. (and if it's not more expensive, make the files larger, the requests more often, etc...)

One problem is that the `/r/:subreddit` url creates name-squatting and the illusion of canonical forums.

/r/canada is like <company>.com: anything else looks second-rate. /r/canada2? /r/bettercanada? /r/altcanada? /r/the_canada? /r/mapleleaf?

I think reddit should've gone with `/r/:username/:subreddit` to remind everyone that every subreddit is just some random person's forum, not some canonical message board on that topic. It also makes it much easier to migrate to another subreddit because you aren't stuck picking some second-rate subreddit name like /r/bitcoin -> /r/btc.

/r/spez/politics, for example, reminds you that it's the politics of whoever spez is (reddit co-founder) and his mod team.
In my experience, the developer time it takes to get a serverless application running (on AWS anyway) far exceeds the benefits that serverless brings. We spent over six months on a project written in serverless that we could never really get working properly. We dumped all that code and rewrote it on a standard LAMP stack in less than half that time. Factoring in that the problem was better understood the second time around, it would still have been cheaper to build it the way we are from the beginning.
aka, now that the crate and key system has been built (=revenue) we can get back to the game!

Crack is substantially cheaper to obtain than powdered cocaine. Crack is just powdered cocaine that's been cooked with other substances, essentially diluting it.

The question is purely price, and it's the system targeting drug users of certain class/ethnic groups more than others. If you look at drug law enforcement in the US, it's substantially more punitive towards poor/minority groups.
This is just false - shipping contributes only 2-3% of global emissions (see e.g. http://theconversation.com/the-shipping-sector-is-finally-on...).
What is the FoV compared to the HoloLens? The article reads like it has the same FoV issue but didn't go over specifics. Though we have to keep in mind that HoloLens is now an older device and a new version is coming out soon. So then the question becomes, did they ship this 2 years too late, or does it even matter?

I also find it interesting that instead of making it stand alone, they require a belt/pocket clip computer unlike Hololens. The headset seems much more compact, makes me wonder what Microsoft will be able to squeeze out in v2 of Hololens. Either way, competition is good.
From the article:

The findings illustrate the scale of the green energy boom, which has drawn $2.3 trillion of investment to deploy wind and solar farms at the scale operating today. BloombergNEF estimates that the falling costs of those technologies mean the next terrawatt of capacity will cost about half as much – $1.23 trillion – and arrive sometime in 2023. "Hitting one terrawatt is a tremendous achievement for the wind and solar industries, but as far as we’re concerned, it’s just the start,"said Albert Cheung, BloombergNEF’s head of analysis in London. "Wind and solar are winning the battle for cost-supremacy, so this milestone will be just the first of many.’’
It's also telling that the chart shows tariffs in %, not in absolute numbers. From what I saw in other articles it mostly balances out. This aside from the bit which you mentioned that it's a bit more detailed than import/export.
As someone with a very casual knowledge of C, I am thankful when people do this. All you need to do is #include "x" and it just works, having to configure the compiler and linking can be painful. Experienced developers might see it as a disadvatage for some reason, but it is a godsend for beginners.
I have taken that into consideration. The entire unit will be double walled with ludicrous amounts of concrete, rebar and I-Beams. There will be heavy gauge steel pipes that extend 120' above ground level.

Personally it comes down to the fact that it takes a long time to write technical articles in a way that it's useful to anyone (with or without the exact background that you have). There's figuring out the topic, iterating on the structure/goal of the article, laying out of an outline, generating figures/examples, writing, editing, and posting it. I try to throw some content up on my website from time to time, though it is a very sporadic affair.
Anki is fantastic! Although I've always felt that the lack of collaboration on public decks is a huge missed opportunity.

I wrote a script to track my up-votes/down-votes based on time. I've only been running it a few months but I predict that this will get hit hard with down-votes around 4PM GMT and 7PM GMT (assuming this topis is still on the front page by then). Let's see if I'm right.

Edit: Down-voted for trying to make a prediction without even passing judgement on the topic. Funny how that works.
Unless you murdered somebody, the vast vast majority of people arrested in Germany are quickly released pending trial.

Status quo bias is such a huge problem. We think that just because the world (or a country) works a certain way, that it's justified and correct. These are all just mostly arbitrary half-broken systems that have accrued over time, so it pays to look at how things might be different.
> However, the kids signing up today-- especially in well-known high-revenue programs (CS, EE, etc) are in it because they either 1) love the subject matter or 2) are bootstrapping their careers.

Except it's a pretty common lament that most people who major in CS/EE/whatever don't actually learn the skills in college that they use daily on the job. Honestly, the most important thing I got out of my EE degree was comfort reading research papers and confidence that I can learn whatever I want with time and effort.
Pumex 0.2.0 Vulkan renderer released
I am pleased to announce, that version 0.2.0 of Pumex renderer is released :

https://github.com/pumexx/pumex

Quick youtube preview:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lyGE-0T3jY

Pumex is a renderer that :

- uses Vulkan API and modern C++ ( C++11 to C++17 )

- works on Windows and Linux. Android port is planned

- enables multithreaded rendering on many surfaces ( windows ) at once

- may render two ( or more ) scene views into one surface in one pass using VK_KHR_multiview extension ( for VR applications )

- implements render workflow ( aka frame graph ) and simple scene graph to facilitate programming

- data update stage with a constant time step works in parallel to rendering

- delivers extensive set of timeline statistics to facilitate performance testing

- implements instanced rendering of any objects ( static, dynamic, animated )

If you want to see examples in action - there's a Windows installer on Github releases page:

Notification spam on my phone makes that unusable. In between google asking my review of a gas station and some mobile phone game bugging me for not playing enough and a notification about an email that I handled on a desktop six hours ago and a missed call from a suspected spam number there might or might not be an important shopping list notification but I'll never see it buried in the reflexive clearing of spam notifications. And I have it relatively easy...
AFAIK neither does Spotify. Swift is nicer in a lot of ways, but it is still not as safe a bet as objc for large projects.

Some 10% to 30% of sulfur emissions come from those ships. They do that because they move in the open ocean where nobody cares about a short lived pollutant.

Sulfur moves quickly into the ocean where it not only non-toxic, but also beneficial to life. (Sulfates - what it will settle down into - is widely used as fertilizer on land.)
I'm actively making my way through Heisig's Remembering the Kanji, and am currently around 650 kanji. Here's an example that I found funny, combining 立 (stand), with 里 (pictograph of computer - see the monitor and keyboard, though the actual meaning is different):
