VR is by definition 3D, so quaternions should be enough, right? The reflections method could also be done with quaternions.

Full abstraction over dimension is certainly interesting, but often not necessary.
I'm glad to see it is growing. I was in NYC for the first half of the decade and the "grounded" nature of NYC was its pitfall.

Its not the lack of 'tech for tech's sake', its the lack of willing backers, the lack of meaningful VCs, the lack of 'pay it forward' mentality, the lack of historical counterculture having any meaningful impact amongst the old world elitists.

If that's changing then NYC will offer an unparalleled opportunity that Silicon Valley could have difficulty keeping up with. I still suspect that there are like 3 VC portfolios all named Union Square Ventures that any project has to conform to, and if it doesn't, FUHGET ABOUT IT

As a coffee afficionado and onetime Starbucks barista, I think the author is slightly mistaken. It’s not that anyone is embarrassed to order the short size; it’s entirely that very few know it’s an option. Excellent article, though, on a very real phenomenon.

I don't think it matters whether or not this is "the norm"; what matters, to the large extent, is whether or not these problems are common enough that people write these articles and that people uovote them. "The norm" isn't some magical threshold where if it's below a percentage of environments it doesn't matter - how much effort we should put into fixing these problems is more-or-less directly proportional to how bad they are as measured by how much complaining we see about them.

Almost all of these pieces of advice function for anyone, and those specifically about women can be translated for any trait "X" - minority group or even something-common-but-not-here. I've gotten typecast because I like videogames - Freaking everyone likes videogames.

> people try to use procedural generation as a crutch, to avoid actual game design

I agree. I guess what I’m saying is that procedural generation need not be a crutch. It should allow the game designer to treat a procedural world like he were a location scout. They can then build sets within that world where story elements can take place, locations modified as required and the remaining 99% left as a living world that swallows up the player. Perhaps as games slowly evolve out of their ‘save the world’ routine this might make more sense. Instead we get endless collectathons that require scouting every polygon of the world.

I’ve also wondered about reduced scale in open world games. Instead of building a hollow and empty city like San Andreas, why not build a fully populated and detailed city block? Every building has detailed stores and accommodation where characters live and work. Your character is perhaps a shut-in (Rear Window) or a beat cop (back to L.A. Noir) where you somehow interact with that compact world.

Remember the often limited worlds of the N64? Racing games could only fit a handful tracks on a single cart. Every inch of virtual real estate was utilised. Such games have gone from a hundred MB to almost a hundred GB. It’s probably the only medium where you don’t need to sit through everything to have a full experience. The virtual worlds no longer need to feel like oversized jumgle gyms.

I’m probably way off the mark but I think we’re in for interesting times ahead.
Hey, honestly though...the name ‘M3’ de facto belongs to BMW. You know that. Everyone else who’s commenting on a thread about luxury cars knows that. The fact that you’re using that name to describe some upstart car company’s new model, it’s...it’s weird. Like, just call it the model fucking 3.

I see this a bit differently, and I frequently use the history of Google Fiber as evidence for strong net neutrality regulations.

In the areas where it was deployed, Google Fiber was wildly successful. And yet, Google threw in the towel. Why?

It _isn’t_ because Google Fiber is was unprofitable. To the contrary, it was profitable _despite_ driving broadband prices way down in its service areas.

It’s because the incumbent ISPs simply have too much power. That power comes in many forms:

1. Excessive industry lobbying power;
2. Anti-competitive exclusivity agreements;
3. The ability to stall rollouts indefinitely in the absence of “one touch make ready” policies;
4. Required cooperation with and permission from governments who feel less pressured to move quickly once their residents have at least one incumbent provider;

etc.

If the incumbents are so well protected that one of the most powerful corporations in America found the barriers to entry too burdensome, then how can anyone argue that there is any semblance of a “free market”? What hope is there for startup ISPs?

The incumbents have received hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars, so they already had a government-assisted head start. And, despite prices being so inflated that they halved overnight wherever Google Fiber rolled out, they are still able to effectively stave off meaningful competition.

Would that be possible in a healthy, competitive marketplace? No. So we need to stop treating it like one, when it clearly isn’t.

As a consumer, I'd rather see them make faster hard drives. I think that's a much bigger impact than faster CPUs. I remember when i got my mac book pro 2015. the hard drive was so much faster than 5 years earlier. I can now boot up in less than 20 seconds. and my IDE opens in less then 4 seconds. getting those two numbers down to 1 or less would be a much bigger improvement, IMHO.
I think this is also a reason why business prospers so much in places like Singapore and Hong Kong. Yes, not exactly democracies, but very easy to leave, so rule of law was the way to go. People can vote with their feet. Whereas tyranny on continents can really be entrenched for centuries.

> The easiest way to understand quaternions is as quotients of 3-dimensional vectors.

Only for those who already know geometric algebra, I think. People coming from vector geometry and complex numbers will find other explanations much simpler.

Note also that your explanation in terms of a vector quotient is effectively a definition of vector quotients, and hence doesn't really explain.
Not the CPU emulator, the GPU emulator. The game is asking the GPU to render an object, which requires it to provide three coordinates. However, the game never initialises the first of these coordinates, so the emulator was drawing an object with the first coordinates initialised to garbage values, because for every new object draw call the emulator was discarding the previous state. On the real hardware it seems that the hardware simply reuses the coordinates from the previous object, so the fix in the emulator was simply to move the coordinates from being local to the function (in which case they're reinitialised on every call) to being global (in which case they remain populated with the previous values between calls).
well, they can always come up with a new estimate. If they'r e not doing it, then it means they can't get a good ROI on it. I'm just wondering what they're biggest expense is: I suspect it's last mile digging up all those trenches - i hear that's really expensive.

That's assuming the prices set by those drug R&D organizations are fair and reasonable given the work they're doing. However, if they're engaging in predatory pricing in pursuit of maximum profit (which is almost certain), the world could probably get along just fine with all medical R&D being performed by nonprofits at-cost.

H1Bs are currently indentured slaves
With premium processing suspended, most H1B employees regardless of how much they are paid or how qualified they are, are indentured slaves currently. I've 3 approved I-140s, 15 years of experience in the industry, make >$500k/yr and yet I cannot switch jobs right now. Suspending premium processing for cap-exempt employees is just ridiculous. There's no progress on my green card for the last 7 years since I happen to be from a certain country. Going back to my country is not an option since my daughter is American. Painful existence.
It's pass by reference 101 where by reference is actually passing a struct by value, and the struct has a reference to more data, so sometimes the backing data is updated and the struct isn't...

Sure, though the supply of developer jobs at an elite HF/algo trading firm are much smaller so not really a meaningful factor IMO. I don't think the same people who would want to work at a GOOG/FB or startup are the same people who would be happy on the IT team at a bank. I know places like Cap 1 and Amex have growing digital teams though AFAIK their comp is not comparable to what you'd make at a large tech co, meaning the opportunity cost is not as high as Bay Area.
Opteron servers were the absolute business for a few years in the mid/late 2000s. They were a preferred supplier for a few years while Intel wallowed. 2002 was before my time, but that was the era of SPARC in the business I work in.

The first android designs were more like Blackberry's than an iPhone[1]. The designs ended up being publicized during the Oracle trial. You can clearly see that they were no where near what Apple was doing with the iPhone. After Apple released the iPhone Google decided to not even release that version and decided to re-do the phone[2]. They believed that a touch screen can't completely replace physical buttons[3]. I'm always surprised how reluctant people are to give credit to Apple for completely changing the smartphone industry.

The concept of indulgence implies that indulging agencies are at fault for their suffering, and indulging is a free decision. Which is why that term was used, and why I object to its use. How does it make sense to use this term for an animal?

Me deciding to drink alcohol would be indulging. I know the consequences but I do it anyway. In this sense, the side effects of drinking alcohol would then be caused by me.

But if I wake up one day with a huge cluster headache, why am I considered indulging in it? It makes no sense. I didn't ask for the headache, it showed up on its own. Rather, I may try to resist the headache, but I'm certainly not "yielding to a pleasurable experience", more like I am being attacked and I may attempt a skill check, or I am drowning in an ocean and trying to swim; for neither of these is the term "indulge" appropriate.

And that's the core difference. The original poster used terms like "indulge" and "desire for alternative" to imply that suffering is generated, or manufactured, by humans, that it's a fake thing that doesn't have to exist. My example of animals clearly shows that this is not the case, as most animals do not have enough mental faculties to generate such things in the first place, yet we do not kid ourselves that animals do not suffer.

Suffering is primary. Suffering comes first. "We let suffering happen to us" makes about as much sense as saying a victim is letting themselves get beaten by someone bigger. It's technically true, but not in any kind of useful sense, and the history of those kinds of statements is horrible.

> Many dogs will ignore their own pain to help another in need.

Examples like this are not useful here, because they are not situations of high control. The dog is not ignoring the pain, the dog is, rather, feeling something else that took priority. A human can similarly ignore lots of pain if they are high on adrenaline, but it is not because the human is controlling the situation and actively not "indulging" in pain, but that their body is not interested in supplying pain right the moment. But when the body goes back to being interested in supplying pain, it will come.

The GitHub may be insufficient evidence that he is a good coder, but it doesn't strike me as evidence that he "never learned to code", yet that is what you said, and that is the impression people will be left with if they do not check for themselves.

I looked at the GitHub expecting to genuinely find actual examples of really bad code due to your statement, but that is not what I found, mostly I found a pretty empty GitHub, which is not too interesting, I know lots of perfectly good coders with empty GitHubs or no GitHubs at all.

> maybe would've left the GitHub link out, it doesn't add anything (positive) to the story

That is another matter, unrelated to you saying they "never learned to code" without, what it looks like, any evidence.

Asking because if it's the first case then of course the comparison would not be fair.
SV's main advantage: talent/investor network effects & shared knowledge of how to scale businesses. Two big problems with SV: (i) high rent; (ii) groupthink.

The problem with NYC is that you still have the same problems as SV (in particular: high rent + groupthink), but with lower network effects & shared knowledge of how to scale businesses. On top of that NYC seems to also face the following additional problems: (i) lack of imagination for deep tech; (ii) a shorter-term orientation.

The advantages that NYC has: (i) industry-specific network effects (finance, fashion, etc); (ii) a superior skyline/aesthetic.

Tesla shares crash after Elon Musk smokes joint on live web show
I actually work in power systems simulations and am not aware of anyone using the power systems toolbox in Matlab outside of some academic researchers. I'm sure some folks do, but it isn't very big. This is all mainly traditional Fortran and increasingly C++ and even C. There are some open source things like MatPower (Matlab or Python), but it is mostly seen as a neat toy and not something I would trust to actually run grid studies such as an EMS vendor, PSS/E, PowerWorld, Powergem, PSCAD...etc etc etc. I've actually seen that some vendors are looking at Julia to replace some of their tools.
I'm a little surprised this didn't have a little more discussion.

You’re not wrong but I just bought the 2018 MacBook Pro (i9, 6 core) to replace my 2016 TB MBP. Both had an SSD but the new one blows the doors off the old one (video encoding, compiling code).

Qt at least tries to feel native (unless you’re using Qt Quick) and goes further than the others listed in feeing native. If one cares, it’s pretty easy to make a Qt app feel “almost native”.

That said, I favor projects that have per-platform true native clients with a platform agnostic core over those that chase the “dream” of write once run everywhere. Transmission is a great example of how well this can work.
"As someone who supports some aspects of YIMBYism almost entirely because I like very dense cities"

I also appreciate (and spend a lot of time in) dense cities and I wish that a lot of SF were much denser.

Well,

That's certainly nice for corporations.

However, I would argue that situation runs directly against the broad tenants of American Democracy. Specifically, that states should regulate their internal commerce to some extent and the Federal government should regulate the rest. Here, you have one state that allows an end-run around both institutions (except for the minute number of people actually living in Delaware).
