Yes, it is impressive that he got it going with PID controllers plus whatever else is in the controller firmware.

This sort of inverted pendulum type system would typically require at least 1/s^2 control. It also has the additional complexity of gyroscopic torques, center of thrust not through center of gravity and servo control lag.

This is similar to controlling a rocket, something the Germans took a long time to perfect with the WW2 V2 missile.

From this and your other reply, you seem to have been burnt by something in Android.
The mobile market for which I develop products is made up of over 80% Android. Whether Sundar Pichai decides to kill Android tomorrow or now, I'm not going to let that get in the way of me making a living from a platform that currently exists with a significant market share re. my target market.
Every day, people tune in by the hundreds of thousands to watch him play, and he's making bank doing it. The most commonly reported figure is $500,000 a month. Blevins suggests the number is closer to seven figures.

And then later:

"Until my family is taken care of. Say this ends tomorrow, we don't have enough for the rest of our lives. I tell Jess, 'Honey, we're not going to have that much quality time this year, or even next year. But if we do this right and I continue to grind for a couple more years, we can set ourselves up, and our family and our family's family, for the rest of our lives.'"

Even though he makes so much money I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes. He doesn’t seem to have a good, relaxed life. One vacation in 8 years while making 500k+ a month? Why...?
Thanks for the response. Good point on multiplexing, as fast high resolution single/dual channel ADCs are now cheap. It will be interesting to look at how much the multiplexing costs relative to FPGA (which can be quite cheap). At this stage the circuit we have is mostly a curiosity, but it will be interesting to experiment with it.
Where is the real need? USD and EUR seem to be working fine.
It does given the authors and the use cases Google has been applying it to.

This seems contradictory. People from third world countries have a thicker skin but don’t play games because the abuse controls aren’t strong enough?

I can understand some part of this. Shit talking is not automatically abusive. But if you’re playing, and someone says “bitch you suck stop playing” repeatedly, I really can’t blame you for not playing anymore. This is not as cultural as it is psychological IMHO: if you’re distracted from the game you won’t enjoy it.

Don't worry. The Times is ON IT.
> Why go out of your way to poison a no-name activist that operates in fringe circles for researching a story that nobody would care about, even if Putin were to confess live on TV channel 1?

A message to the West perhaps?

> The western fascination with them is a kind of exoticism.

But the West is important to them. They know the fascination and they know the West is watching so they just showed everyone they can be ruthless.

It could play on the angle that Westerners should be careful about supporting too much someone like that as their popularity could end up killing them. For example, say Harvard wanted to invite Verzilov to give a talk. Now they might think twice - it would be nice to have him, but would they be painting a target on his back because of it? So it has kind of a secondary chilling effect.

Another reason:

> Verzilov had been working on an investigative story about the deaths of the three Russian journalists, Alexander Rastorguev, Orkhan Dzhemal, and Kirill Radchenko.

It wasn't that he was particularly dangerous because of his political stance but because he started to dig into other journalists' suspicious deaths. So he might have been a no-name but got close enough to uncover things.

One more reason:

Eliminate the troublemakers early. Don't wait till they become popular. Have someone monitor the media and detect who is becoming "dangerous" and eliminate them before they have a huge following.
I always thought it aligned with cold war alliances, in which case brazil would be third world.

Not a terribly meaningful phrase on the whole.... china’s doing well these days, but you’re only going to feel that if you happen to be in the middle or upper class, for example.
You are absolutely right but the problem started with the company selling the tracker [1]. The original reason why wearables and health trackers work in the cloud is because they are tiny and don't muster the resources to have everything within the device; hence thin client. However, smartphones work reasonably enough to have the data hosted there. Convenience of convergence? Then why isn't the data stored with zero knowledge principle? With smart speakers it seems the same story. Why not host an offline Wikipedia, have speech analysis, and have the device work offline 24/7 as long as its killswitch is disabled? Furthermore, what we need is a standard to self-host (such as Yunohost. OTOH, many homes are worse secured than clouds.

[1] We need legislation to make the practices illegal, or hold these people accountable, not in the least in case of data breaches. That's just the top of the iceberg.
Another "too many programming languages" comment. God! I have no idea - what's happening to the world?
Are people not skilled enough to evaluate new languages?

There are new type systems and static checks, integrated build systems and package managers, backwards-compatibility features, debugging tools...

What is the primary reason to complain about new programming languages?
Flutter might be a cool project, but what's the status of integrating native controls?

Mobile apps are not only CRUD clients and do lots of stuff that needs tight OS integration. The last time I checked, flutter couldn't do Maps, GeoLocations, AR (ArKit/ARCore), Encryption, audio/video, file storage etc activities that are outside the normal purview of a CRUD TableView App.

Since flutter team seems to be active here, could anyone from the team shed light on these aspects?
No, you're right. That is literally the entire point of the story. People on Twitter showered the author with praise. I mean, filled out a spreadsheet and talked to people, as you said, but there wasn't really that much besides that.

In addition, the main story doesn't seem to include of her data.
You can argue that it’s sexist, but really, the platform is so hostile toward women, that I understand why you’d chose not to.

It’s the easy route of course, but we’ve all stood by and watched something shitty happen a few times in our lives.

I mean, have you ever watched the chat of girl/women streamers? It’s some of the most volatile stuff on the entire internet, and those people are who the boys/men also have to deal with.

This may be easy and turning the blind eye, but I don’t think individual streamers can really change anything by going Rosa Parks. It’s the platforms problem, and when it remains as unmoderated as it is, I think decision to ignore parts of its repulsiveness is perfectly understandable. I wouldn’t count on Amazon to foster a healthy culture anytime soon though, and even then you could argue that what is really needed is better parenting.
I understand that Cloudflare aspires to be primarily a compute platform. I think it’s a cool goal, and you have the technical chops to build it. But isn’t it fair to say today that Cloudflare is primarily a networking platform? We customers use you, overwhelmingly, to make our sites load faster, and pay less in the process. Not far behind comes anti-ddos protection - also a networking-centric feature. Everything else is aspirational.

I am aware of where you want to go - and the workers feature you’re working on, for example, is extremely cool. But realize that there is a huge gap between where you want to be as a business and a brand, and where you actually are.

IPFS may not compete with what you want to be - but it does compete with what you are. That’s because IPFS is not a storage platform, it’s a content distribution platform. And Cloudflare is in the content distribution business.
There are ways to do that, proof of possession. What they need is proof you have multiple copies, but you can easily pretend to have multiple copies if they are identical by running the proof on another copy.

You can probably do it by mixing the data with some extra data so replicated copies actually look different so you have to do proof of possession on each replica, and you dont even know they are replicas.
Besides the language features, Go is not a match for the wealth of graphical tooling, IDE support, deployment targets and libraries of Java world.

Naturally people port code from Python to Go.

It is what happens when one uses scripting languages for a full blown application and then discovers how slow it is.

Then Go gets choosen cause Google is cool and Oracle is bad.

Meanwhile corporations keep using Java, .NET, JavaScript and C++ as their main workhorses.

Go's selling points are Docker and Kubernetes, and not everyone is actually using them.
Speaking as someone who used both Git and Mercurial, and who has used both to contribute to projects:

Git's concept of branches as simple names for commits, and the ability to switch branches really easily within one checkout (rather than encouraging the use of multiple working directories) helped hugely. Mercurial grew the ability to do git-style branching later, but git had it from the beginning.

Git has always treated performance as a first-class feature, and that has enabled certain types of workflows that Mercurial makes painful. Git is fast enough that many things don't feel like they take any time at all.

Git integrated first-class support for carefully constructing and reworking a set of patches to be sent by email. Mercurial again eventually grew such support, but early on, it was much more insistent that all branches must be kept around, and by the way are you sure you don't want to push your development branch experiments up to the server and keep them there forever since you haven't merged that head into the mainline?

Even later on, mercurial had more of the functionality people wanted but relegated it to "extensions", while Git shipped it out of the box.

Take a look at https://walac.github.io/mercurial-for-git-lovers/ (from 2015) for just one of many examples.
Yup, the original paper (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-31890-9.pdf) seems to suggest this: “SRAF image composed of merged three pseudo-colored red, green and blue (RGB) channels. Brightness and contrast of the RGB channel intensities are adjusted to highlight the dark crystalline fabrics.“

The top competitor in a supposedly open competitive field is refusing to compete with [blank] players for fear of [blank]. So what, exactly, does that look like?

Here's an easier experiment: play out a scenario to the extreme:

When the #2 spot is held by a female gamer, his refusal to play with female players is exactly what you claim it's not. By refusing to play she will never get the chance to compete for the "top" spot. Then sequentially every other player that is not "a her" will get a chance to "win."

Last point, he's not just playing games he's building a massive brand/business (at this stage) that rationalizes the exclusion of women. The secondary and tertiary effects will be damaging for younger generations - as they will see this as the norm.

After Workd War 2 the US was in the unique situation of not being completely decimated by the war. They used this leverage to craft trade policies to benefit the US economy by relying on their weight. To say that the US growth was purely organic is not quite hitting the mark. By all intents, it was forced to a large degree and perhaps with even more bloodshed than we’d like to admit. With that being said, the US growth model is not the only model that exists, it just so happens it was the most recent and most successful to date. But I would say that the rate of growth in a China is unparalleled, especially in the last 30 years. Going from one of the poorest countries in the world to what they are today is mind boggling. The growth itself is unsustainable unless they take forced measures of building the infrastructure out to allow the growth to spread out. It’s going to be interesting to see how this all plays out and even more so with the current political climate in the west. I imagine the US isn’t just going to roll over and let it’s dominant position be taken from it so easily but we have to remember, there hasn’t been a single empire in history that has stood the test of time. The way China is approaching things might not be the best way to do it but we won’t know the true cost of today for another 30 years down the line.

I mean that the abuse controls prevent me from having a good time because they're too tight. For instance, the Overwatch developers prevented people from saying "gg ez" at the end of a match because they deemed it too abusive. This kind of view towards abuse is too extreme to me and eventually sapped my will to play that particular game.
Try ODroid. Octacore ARM processor. Will give you more power than Rasp Pi, but still energy efficient. There is Orange Pi too (AliExpress) if you cheaper. ODroid is nice though because they provide Android OS image too.
You're right. Money doesn't flow too easily from the most rich to the most poor without government intervention.

But state finance is separate issue from that. And money flowing to the most poor would not do much to state finance, because the most poor typically are unemployed and hardly pay any taxes.
Everyone gets "abused" in games. Bantzing, shit talking, or whatever you want to call it is a component of every competitive endeavor, from basketball to chess. The anonymity of online interactions and lack of immediate concrete behavioral correction exacerbates this tendency in online games.

I, like all reasonable people, welcome women who want to play in these waters. The argument can be made that women deserve extra sensitivity, because they are more emotionally fragile and less able to handle shit talking, but that strikes me as incredibly sexist so I don't hold that belief.
No one drops bombs on their domestic political opposition. Russia isn't poisoning it's military enemies, it's poisoning Russians. There really is an important distinction.
>what abuse control has stopped you from having a good time?

The Overwatch developers ranged from preventing people from saying "gg ez" at the end of a match to saying that they would scour people's social media accounts and ban them from the game if they deemed it the right move. Just way too many instances where they signaled that they were very ban happy and that they deemed all sorts of things that I think are normal as abuse or harassment.

>Do you feel that it was over-controlled?

Yes.

>Did you take offense by beeing controlled at all?

Yes. I don't like an environment where I can get banned if someone doesn't like my trash talk. It goes further than that though because these kinds of signals from developers shape the way the community behaves and expects other people to behave and IMO this particular direction is one I'm always unhappy with. Contrast this to the way Valve handles their communities which is very hands off. I prefer that a lot more to the way Blizzard generally does it.

> Have you been reprimanded due to those controls?

No.
Hi, author here.

As other commenters have noted, this post is seven years old. My position on feature branches has evolved (and softened somewhat as well) in the meantime.

The Truth Behind the Click – BBC Documentary Behind Amazon [2013 Video]
Tweets are presented all the time in articles as expression of legitimate opinion

What is it about tweets that would mean they're not legitimate expressions of opinion? People write them, and publish them, and it'd be a bit unreasonable to assume they have some motive other that stating their opinion, so I don't really understand why you think tweets are something else.
My wife is a dog breeder. My anecdotal sample size is getting close to the sample size of the study.

In one litter you will get such a large range of personalities even with same parents and being raised the same.

And then there’s such a big range of behaviours between the breeds. For example, weimaraners are predisposed to separation anxiety.

In addition, some owners adopt or rescue dogs who had bad experiences.

With the article behind a paywall, I’m guessing a sample size of 70 is way too small to come up with something insightful. How on earth could they come up with a “negative spiral” from the data. Sounds made up.

Anyway, I’ve stopped judging owners based on the behaviour of their dogs.

How many people do you know in any of those industries? You're just making my point. Those jobs (as widespread sources of employment, not hobbies / niches) are gone.

The difference this time is that cars can do one job: The job of a horse and cart. There were plenty of other industries for the farriers, wainwrights etc. to move into. There's not that many productive jobs that an unskilled human can do that can't be automated.
Wow, mind blown, your video link scares the shit out of me.
I believe the parent's point is that many of the opinions people tweet are somehow illegitimate. I won't hazard to guess what criteria or authority is supposed to determine legitimacy.
Leaked is the best word. It doesn't even have to be hackers or outside forces. An individual on the inside maliciously or ineptly handling records is another way things will get leaked. And will is the right word. In the digital age it's not a question of if something will get leaked, but when. And as systems become more complex and companies more expansive this is only going to become more true. And I think this is the point of view people should make when deciding what information to yield to companies, or deciding on their position of things like 'surveillance for your safety.'

Across several industries and in different companies, my experience was that learning Dart was measured in hours and not weeks. One company started to train their HR employees to code in Dart (being their first programming language that they learn) in order to streamline the interviewing process of developers.

If you have seen C#, Kotlin, TypeScript or Java code and understand it, you will understand Dart and will be able to use the language soon enough.
I’d like to point out that not every tracker does this; Apple Watch being the most notable example.
If you honestly think that Dropbox is just glorified FTP, or Slack is just IRC with pictures, or Spotify is JUST bittorrent (or Napster even), I question if you've ever actually used any of those services. They provide so much more than the alternatives you listed.

Dart isn't perfect, and I think at the least would really benefit from Union types. There are some open issues related to these things though:

https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/4938 (Unions)
https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/421 (Tuples)

Please feel free to contribute here! That said, it's certainly possible to work around these things. Dart has a tuple library (https://github.com/dart-lang/tuple) which covers a lot, and much of what you'd use Unions for can still be covered by accepting `Object` or `dynamic` parameter types and doing some typechecking.
