I feel like with languages (in games or anything else), it all boils down to "where there's a will, there's a way". People come up with a lot of reasons Language X won't be suitable for a project, but in the end it's the people who use whatever tools are at hand, who get the job done while the perfectionists are stuck at the starting line. Classic Tortoise vs. Hare situation.

If you want to write games, use your favorite language, and just START. All limitations can be circumvented somehow.

Prosecutors already only take cases they think they can win via plea bargain. Part of why convinction rates are so high is Prosecutors ignore any case they might lose or the defendant can afford a quality lawyer who might cast reasonable doubt on the verdict.

I doubt repayment for wrongful imprisonment would make that worse.
> Nothing is reduced just shifted away from your perspective. You pay for the server running your serverless code. You just share that cost.

This is no different from any other abstraction.

> Sharing the cost brings benefits but it also brings pain. First time you hit an AWS hard limit you will realize how much pain

Many AWS services have no architectural scaling limits. S3, Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SNS, and SQS are examples. And you can always take comfort in knowing that many people are actively using the service at far greater scale than you ever will.

That's not to say they won't ultimately limit (e.g.) how many S3 buckets you create, but being able to create unlimited S3 buckets is not necessary to use S3 as designed in a near-infinitely scalable way.
We have legal framework for taxes. Corporations work around it by creating massive costs by paying phoney IP bills to their mother companies. The EU is trying to end these practices, but it is taking time.

If the companies were local, it would be much easier. Said another way, none of the big local companies in the EU are using this kind of setups.

I'd recommend reading "The Big Test: The Secret History of the American Meritocracy" - it covers the long history of this pervasive issue in the American education system in great detail.
you keep talking in dollars and not hours

if the fine is "one week of income" and you don't want to lose a week then you won't speed

if a speeding ticket was 5 cents everyone would speed every day... and this is the status quo for the rich since the fine is to their income what five cents is to most others

so we fine people enough that it affects them in a proportionate way to make the likelihood of changing their behavior equal, rather than only changing the behavior of the poor
The status quo today is diversity programs pushed by top corporations. "Whiteness Studies" courses aiming to "deconstruct White people" in top universities. Generous affirmative action. Language policing by internet hate mobs (who primarily police the language of people who are not PoC). And a popular culture that celebrates LGBTQ people and PoC pretty much non-stop year around.

People have been politically mobilized by the idea of "change" since the beginning of democracy. But that's just because the idea of "change" has a certain energy to it that is important for campaigning. Most people don't like the idea of supporting the existing status quo because it seems ... low energy.

So anyway. You'll find a lot of professional activists working at big tech companies (a lot of companies now have 'racial equity' orgs which essentially exist to do political activism), having their concerns heard by people in power, and all the while talking about smashing the status quo. But they aren't really trying to smash the status quo. They are just taking the existing status quo step by step to its logical conclusion.

The people trying to smash the status quo are usually the ones having laws passed against them. Who don't have corporate leaders pandering to them. Who don't get celebrated by the media.

It's the anime avatar having people on Twitter, who constantly break taboos with their speech, who are against the status quo and that's why the current power structure wants to shut them down.

(I'm not saying you are wrong for supporting the existing power structure, but it _is_ wrong to pretend that the current power structure isn't pro-LGBTQ and PoC because it is emphatically so.)

If the company needs a massive infusion of cash (as many analysts believe), and obtaining it from a public offering or large investors is not possible at a valuation Musk is comfortable with, he has little choice but to write a big check himself under cover of taking the company private.

I'm very interested in Dart with Flutter being a better React-native. I have no interest in the browser, having already bet once in v1/we components. There are already great js frameworks.

Differences weren't that stark before the industrial revolution, a boat that the Islamic world clearly missed for a number of reasons.

The other big factor is Suez. The channel basically killed Euro-Asian land routes that had been maintained for thousands of years.
> Lesson for you: check if your apps are correctly compiled and secrets protected

And remember: no matter how well you think you have protected the secret, if it is in the client-side application then someone will be able to find it if they want to enough. It must be unpackable by your local code so it must be unpackable by someone who can unpack and understand that code.
>"New York's transportation officials and safety advocates say the experience of the largest U.S. city offers a road map for others."

This is all very self-congratulatory and likely a PR piece that was put out on the news wire.

I imagine that the reduction in fatalities is almost exclusively due to the changes around pedestrian crossings on Queens Blvd. a horrid monstrosity that more closely resembles a highway than any kind of regular street.

It is actually rare to see police pulling over cars and issuing traffic tickets in NYC. And if anything as the congestion has worsened drivers have gotten more brazen. Cars regularly block the intersection, run red lights rather than stop, regularly block the cross walk and regularly fail to yield to pedestrians in cross walks. In fact these are the norm. Spend 5 to 10 minutes walking during rush hour you are pretty much guaranteed to observe all of these in the short time frame.

NYC is a road map for what a dysfunctional to non-existent traffic policy looks like.
So this is an effort led by Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman, which in itself is noteworthy, but then to claim a $1 Billion "seed" round is eye opening.

I'm highly skeptical with G090's failure ( which is mentioned in the article ) whether a studio(?) focused purely on bite sized content can survive, but they certainly have the funding and pedigree to attract some top level talent to give it a go for a few years.
Well, in most cases people don't get taken into custody (I believe that is the proper term?), because the police does not deem them a security risk until their trial commences. But if the police decides to take you into custody (effectively imprisoning you before the verdict), and you are acquitted, you are entitled to compensation in Denmark.

The thinking is that the state should not be able to do it on a whim without consequence of their decisions.
Ack, sorry for being so unclear. I was thinking of the American underclasses most likely to be caught up in local jails and unable to afford bail.

I don't know, when I first visited Paris while still in school I somehow didn't find a single one of those, and lived a few days off of ham baguettes, spring rolls from Asian takeaways and McDonald's - everything going for "normal food" was very, very expensive.

Yes, this was a few years before mobile internet, and maybe it works if you live there not straight in the city center where the tourist attractions are ;) When I visited again last year I had no problem to find affordable food, but of course my viewpoint probably changed a bit.

But you don't really. (Well, I don't).

It seems obvious to me that there's a progression. Back in Apple II, C64, DOS days computers generally ran a single app at a time.

Windowing systems were invented allowing multiple apps to share the same screen. This is what we've had for 30-40 years.

For AR though we need multiple apps to share the same 3D space all running at the same time just like I have 14 apps running on my laptop right now.

I need my mapping app drawing the path to my destination. I need my transportation app showing me the next bus/train coming. I need my virtual pet app adding my virtual pet around my feet. I need my social networking app to show me my friends info next to them in me view. I need my dating app highlighting people that are potential matches.

All of this has to happen simultaneously and at 90fps. That will require an entirely new OS and possibly new hardware (dual GPUs, ... or pre-emptable GPUs) one for compositing the 3D world at 90fps and one for apps so if app takes too long to generate it's portion of the scene the entire OS doesn't start running low. An old OS that only runs a single 3D app at a time and who's apps don't share the same 3D space will be a huge hindrance to AR being truly revolutionary.

I'm not saying Magic Leap's OS is that OS but that OS is not MacOS/iOS/Windows/Linux/Android
> I'm actually proud of the fact that in my circle of friends, I don't know anyone who's a software engineer.

Would you only know software engineers if you hadn't gone to university? I did not attend university and did not know another software engineer (outside of interacting with some online like on HN) until about 15 years into my career when a good friend started dating one. It does not really seem like the norm to only know software engineers. We're a pretty small segment of the population (~0.8% of the workforce).
Wow, you're right! Didn't see that, Thanks! :)
Isn't that necessarily true of all augmented reality headsets though?
Congrats on pushing out an updated UI, often one of the biggest complaints people have against OSS is the outdated UI the permeate the space because it's one of the hardest things to get right and it takes so much time to change.

I think these new icons and menus look wonderful.

It's especially impressive because LibreOffice doesn't really seem to have any big corporate backers like other OSS projects, and yet they seem to be holding on. I don't think I've seen LO installed in any corporate environment, and I'd imagine that MS Office holds like 95% of the market, so I do appreciate this alternative.
I would add that this kind of literal analysis is only useful to train _seeing_. More so, you are training to see in a very specific way. The lines drawn in the picture by the author to indicate composition, rhythm and stability are quite arbitrary and could be drawn a dozens other ways.

In a way, you train your neural networks to see by looking at images, then, while actively photographing you outsource decision making to your own trained neural networks.
After a while you can predict the best camera position, settings and get a tingling sensation moments before an interesting situation (in street or event photography) happens.
I agree module cleaning is not a showstopper, but it does have its challenges.

-Birds fly everywhere; can't hide from them. It can be hard to diagnose some of the problems they create.

"Robotic" cleaning is really not as common as the headlines make it seem. A couple of big projects have used them to target settled dust that can be removed without water. For most projects, the robotic systems don't pencil out and people default to paying a small crew every couple of months to go out and wash them.
You are not singled-out, this is a submission about you so it makes sense to talk about you.

Everyone who tracks has improvements in mind.
but with a headset the screen is always in front of your eyes

Check out a Hololens if you ever get a chance. You can choose if the object you create is always in front of you or 'stuck' in a fixed point in (virtual) space. If I place a 'screen' on a wall it will stay exactly where I put it no matter how I move around.
That's how (some) realy people already work. I'm staring at 3 screens right now, arranged next to each other.
Why is any of that a good thing, though? I could already have a lot more screens than I currently do, but the two I have is just fine. What advantage do windows floating in space offer me over a physical monitor (that will make it worth strapping a headset on every time I sit down at my desk)?

Even if your tracking isn't directly harmful (I make no claims if it is or not), it's still indirectly harmful because it's training users to ignore warning pop-ups.
It’s more about money.

If you did the type of heavy traffic enforcement that you see on Long Island or in some upstate places, the overtime and adjudication would cost many millions of dollars.

NYPD in my observation tends to focus mostly on keeping things moving.
That's exactly what many said about Go. It was largely disproven since then.

You can integrate Nim code into your Python codebase just as readily as any other compiled language, including Cython. Cython produces shared libraries conforming to Python C-API, and you can do the same in Nim.

Having very similar, but different in surprising ways, language for extensions may be actually more of a problem then what developer familiarity might buy you. Instead of a mish-mash of two languages like Cython, using a proper language with its specific set of abstractions might be better, depending on a use case.

I would like to know what you consider the "better facilities" for type safety and performance optimizations Cython has that Nim lacks?
>The only "news article" [1] I can find that references this mentions 0.3% of student loans were discharged through bankruptcy in 1977 [2].

It actually says something much stronger - it says that 0.3% of the value of all federal student loans given before 1977 had been discharged through bankruptcy, not in 1977. In 1977 wouldn't make sense because the amendments making it impossible to discharge student loan debt through bankruptcy were made in 1976.

Premade decks are really good for starting off, but ultimately making cards pays off more in the long run for associating memories to individual cards. This comes at a cost of a longer setup time and ongoing process, but with this you can guarantee all your cards are of high quality caliber.

You can’t look before the modern era, as the tools and techniques for discovering this sort of long-term damage didn’t exist.

Are there any examples of things that were in pervasive use around, say, 1970 but didn’t get recognized as dangerous until recently? I think there are examples in nutrition, but I don’t know about environmental toxins.
"[...]public market because investors[...]" meant "[...]public market because public investors[...]" obviously.
It wouldn’t make much of a difference because the vast majority of student loans are issued by the federal government and not underwritten.

This seems to come up fairly often. I don’t think many people are aware of the enormous size of the state banking sector in the US between educational loans and continued dominance of the residential mortgage market.

> “If you bothered to read my question, you’d know it’s not a duplicate.”

2 of the 4 examples of unacceptable behavior are responses to overzealous moderation. I can't see this helping with any of SO's real problems.

Every SO question I've asked for many years has required constant monitoring to correct people who don't actually read the question and either 1) try to answer a totally different, easier question or 2) try to get my question closed. It's exhausting and really makes me wish it had competition so I could abandon it entirely.

The first few items in their code of conduct should be:

1. Carefully read the question before you answer or comment.

2. Carefully read the question before you answer or comment.

3. Remember you're not helping the asker if you repeat answers he already tried or specifically anticipated and said aren't helpful in his question.

Why do you think it would need more power than e.g. your phone? Looks like it's "screens" are way smaller, so could/should consume less battery... If you limit the camera and "reality-processing" and just project the screen at a fixed distance in front of your eyes, it should be way more efficient than a phone.

I've only had a quick skim but what worries me is that the authors are investigating a fundamentally geographic problem yet don't apparently have a background in GI science. For example, the authors use fixed grid cells for analysis, yet the modifiable areal unit problem states that varying the boundaries of your analysis can change the result, and especially given the coarseness of their chosen grid I'd like to see at least some attempt to handle this (perhaps repeat with smaller/shifted grid cells, compare results), or failing that at very least evidence of awareness of the problem. I've an MSc is GIS and one thing I learned is that even with the best data and methodology (PhD level spatial stats) it can be extremely difficult to establish statistical significance, and I'm not convinced here. I'd like to see a far more sophisticated treatment of the GI science methodologically before the leap into the historical/economic domain. I strongly suspect the geo side would fall apart under close analysis, thus undermining everything beyond that point.
