The update rate has to be very high and the alignment perfect or it will drive users nuts. Which means it will probably be done soon, although not in this round. Doing it with lightweight short path optics is also difficult. All this stuff with diffraction gratings and Fresnel lenses makes for a crappy image. That can sometimes be overcome; the Polaroid SX-70 camera had a very compressed optical system with Fresnel lenses without compromising image quality too much.[1]

The other option is simply to show the real world via a camera feeding into the system. That's been tried many times, and it works OK, although lag will make users faceplant or ill.

No, I didn't mean smart people can't pick up business. I meant you would assume smart people know business as common sense, but they don't necessarily do.

Leaving aside other complaints, on a nuts-and-bolts level, what is your tax law-definition of the 'pursuit of living'? Does this mean I'm only taxed on what I save? (time to pursue another solid gold toilet to... live on!) Or do the prince and the pauper alike get to deduct the same 'pursuit of living' credit and pay tax any remainder?
Another reason to have some cash is so if you're mugged, the mugger won't be so disappointed they take it out on you.

Thanks; been meaning to. I've not seen a good exposition of what benefit the DAG way of doing Causal Inference has over the Potential Outcomes Framework. Morgan and Winship (another good textbook) tries, but I didn't really buy it. I guess I have to hear it from the horse's mouth.
There's been some experiments with moving React's logic into a web worker, but the main one I know of was a couple years back : http://blog.nparashuram.com/2016/02/using-webworkers-to-make... . Would be interesting to try updating that.

Maybe it's more akin to Boycotting.

It's not robbing someone but it is removing some potential revenue. And, so I don't come across as hypocrite, I also circumvent the vast majority of subscriptions, but I realize I am denying some miniscule revenue and over time, all added up, could be something.

So the problem is _both_ friction and circumvention in the least, as well as overcharging. Would I pay for Cable? No. Would I pay for Netflix? Why not. They offer a good product at a very reasonable price with little friction and I would not try circumvention, because there is no reason.

This is what I'm most excited about. Emotion is great but I've heard a lot of great things about CSS Modules, just haven't gotten around to trying them out yet because it's been so complicated to do. I'll definitely be giving it a try now.
So your argument is that I wouldn't download a car?
You can opt out in the beginning, but later it becomes a monopoly.

You can't even buy a game on a DVD anymore without it requiring Steam to install, activate, and play.

So, in theory, if they succeed, it won't be optional anymore.

"Oh then you can just stop playing games!" ... yes, but I would prefer not to. I would prefer a fair exchange of money for an unencumbered product.

Hopefully, if I speak out now about the potential and likely dangers of such a service, then I may hinder its adoption and prevent the further decline of an art form that I hold very dear.
No one who is saying that the IRS is evil is saying that they're not doing a good enough job. They're making a claim about the value of the job itself.
If you can represent something, it's defined. There's no real distinction there. In weaker systems, this is not possible. ZF proves all of the Peano axioms, for example.

(Stop pretending to explain things to me that I already know.)
This is like asking what happens if two different micro-services try to make incompatible changes to the same database.

Or what happens when two different users try to make incompatible changes to the same Google Doc?

Or what happens when you try to GIT Merge a commit that has incompatible changes?

It’s your code, so it’s in your control what happens, and also in your control how to react to what you can’t control.

You can write code that avoids conflicting manipulations (let’s say all the dom manipulations only ever happen on one thread) or you can write code that handles the case... It’s a case by case kind of thing, there is no one answer.
Judging from the negative scores, you are right.

Of course redux-saga can be used. Unless your goal is to rewire the project compilation step, ejecting is rarely required.

What's being proposed is a analogue of Peano arithmetic that isn't effectively axiomatized (i.e. the axioms are not recursively enumerable), and therefore not subject to Goedel's theorems. That isn't usually palatable in a formal theory, and therefore not what most mathematicians would think "Peano arithmetic is consistent" means.
While that's true, if they're not enforcing the law, they can't deter tax evasion.
Can't remember, I looked it up I'm guessing its free internet with adspam. Wasn't this around the time DSL became more mainstream after dial up?
You're exactly right, and I would put those in the the latter group, not the former. Those individuals know precisely why they're getting their MBA, and don't have the "???" step in their progression. Rather, they intend to leverage the network and exposure they developed during their 2-3 years consulting, plus the signaling from the MBA, to pivot into a particular level and type of role post-MBA.

Your caveat at the end is also pretty key. If you spend 2-3 years barely scraping by with mediocre results in consulting and don't get promoted, and expect to do the post-MBA pivot, you'll have issues (or you have family connections and it's all moot anyway).

But I was more speaking to people who go and get a random entry-level industry job after their bachelors, spend 2-3 years putting their time in, crawl back to school for an MBA, and expect the six figure job offers to just roll in. That's surprisingly common (not just for MBA, but for many graduate programs).
That danger does exist, but I do not believe what are anywhere near that point, given how dramatically underfunded they are.
No, because callgrind is simulating the hardware, including the caches. Which is why it's also much slower.
Absolutely - all you've ever needed to do is `npm i redux react-redux`, then add them to the app. They're just libraries, no special behavior needed.

See the "Configuring Your Store" docs page [0] for copy-pasteable examples of adding Redux to a React project.

Also, we're working on a `redux-starter-kit` project [1] that will soon become an official Redux-branded tool to help with common pain points, like setting up the store properly, simplifying immutable reducer update logic, and more. I talked about it in my React Boston "State of Redux" presentation [2] over the weekend. Please try it out, and let us know how it works and what else we should add!

I've used it for decades to mean "automatically as if by magic" in the sense of Arthur C Clake's quote:

To flip this adage around: calling your own tech as performing something "automagically" is tantamount to calling it "sufficiently advanced technology".

Never underestimate the value of condoms for purposes other than intercourse. They’re highly portable, durable, can hold a lot of liquid, and are waterproof. You can use them to waterproof anything from a car’s spark plugs to some tinder or even food. They’re useful as part of dressing certain minor wounds too.
Could you send it to jacob at-sign solidangle.ca? I would greatly appreciate it.

I couldn't find your contact information. It might be good to add it to your profile for other people.
I'd actually love to see a good blog post that details the process of, say, upgrading from Babel 6 to Babel 7 for a non-CRA app, and then adding in some form of TS support on top of that. (I've got a couple apps that I'd like to try doing that with myself in the not too distant future.)
To get the arrangement you describe would require Google to voluntarily give up some of its current control over Chrome (or for Chrome users to switch to another browser).

Super cool, thanks for sharing this!
Then what do you mean by "depends heavily on the properties of Peano arithmetic"? There are lots of axiomatizations of arithmetic that can represent addition and multiplication that are not equiconsistent with Peano arithmetic, just like there are lots of definitions of computability that are equivalent to Turing machines (e.g. the partial recursive functions).

Also when talking about a formal theory distinguishing the definition (i.e. the axioms) and the theorems is pretty important.

EDIT: I realize now that a specific example would be helpful. Goedel's theorem can be applied to primitive recursive arithmetic[1], which is neither weaker nor stronger than Peano arithmetic. Interestingly enough PRA with a small addition (of broader transfinite induction) can actually prove Peano arithmetic[2].

The only terrorist incident to ever occur in New Zealand was perpetrated by French government agents.

They were caught by a normal homicide investigation, as almost all murders in New Zealand are. No special terrorism laws, border searches or secret warrants.

This is not just a pointless invasion of privacy in the name of security theatre, it’s a needless waste of time and money.
I will go against the grain and say that I never had any issues with nVidia drivers ever since I got my first GeForce card more than 10 years ago.

For the first years I manually installed it on Fedora Core, until finally the ak-version were stable enough.
Once I switched to Ubuntu, the proprietary drivers always worked without a flaw.

I don't think they read HN but a shout-out to Zander and AaronP, I've spent many hours OpenGL programming and playing games on Linux throughout the years thanks to their work.

> Open. For business.

You know, it's funny that they are proudly using this slogan. OpenBSD has mocked it in the past, referring to Intel's firmware blobs for wireless NICs:

> Some asshole said he was "open"

> but he was only open for business.

https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#40b

Open core is no big innovation. It's plain ol' proprietary software. It's just like macOS. Most software nowadays has significant free components. The only company that I know that does truly free commercial software is Red Hat. They don't sell you a drop of non-free software.

Some people will argue that the degree of free software in your proprietary software makes a difference. I argue that it only matters if you need any of the proprietary bits or not. A non-free but desired bit of software in a package can be very restrictive and have the same undesirable impacts as having the whole thing being non-free.
This reminds me of the bailouts. If you play by the rules you are a sucker.
I asked that question once, apparently crews aren't armed and it's a big deal to start shooting at people at sea. There are videos of people fending off pirates (actual, sea based pirates) with water hoses.

I don't get that - it seems pretty obvious you could arm a crew and fend off some assholes with AK47s (you have the high ground, lots of corridors, time to prepare and can afford some .50's on the deck) - but then again, I'm so American I am practically a Bald Eagle.
IIRC there are some historic high court rulings setting a precedent that detaining a defendant for not furnishing some information (combination to a lock) violates their protection against compelled self incrimination / right to remain silent but if it was a physical object (key to a lock) that did not necessarily voilate same rights. This has now led to digital age cases where the prosecution suggests a password should be analogous to a key, not an idea. On a quick search, I couldn't find the relevant cases or discussion...
No such 'noise' is possible with callgrind, as it's basically simulating the hardware. If you're using a VM it seems like you could still get variation between different runs due to other activity on the host system.
How about a badge for "I got schooled publicly by my CTO."
At one time I thought highly successful people would be more like each other than less successful people. I believed it even more when it was explained as the Anna Karenina principle. But my experience hasn't borne it out. There are many things you can point to as advantages or "best practices" but in the end it all seems to dissolve into our penchant for telling stories. One guy is successful because he was born into it, it's all he saw growing up, every element was demonstrated for him and instilled in him as normal his whole life. Another guy is successful because he was born with nothing and had to fight for every little thing, and he kept fighting for the next thing until he had a whole company. These are both coherent stories, but they don't explain the difference between those two and all the other people who were born to success but reverted to the mean or who were born into poverty and stayed there.

I've seen people succeed with vastly different, contradictory strategies. I've seen engineers promoted to management earn respect by getting in the weeds and doing unwanted grunt work, and I've seen engineers promoted to management stay so hands-off from technical stuff that new employees assumed they were MBAs who didn't understand the work they were managing. I've seen people with humble origins flaunt them at every opportunity and others all but deny them. I've seen people who immersed themselves in detail to see the whole picture and people who carefully rationed the information they consumed to avoid being overwhelmed, systematically delegating the responsibility for details.

Conclusion: that's the wrong way to try to understand the difference between luck and skill. Suppose you ran a huge experiment where you had 1000 chess grandmasters, 1000 masters, 1000 good amateurs, and so on down to 1000 chronic duffers, and they each inherited a thousand games starting at move eight (crediting the first seven moves to luck, circumstances, and childhood.) You wouldn't learn much by asking whether the winners attacked or defended, opened the middle or jammed it up, preferred their knights or their bishops. Those aren't the right questions. A grandmaster doesn't move a knight just because she likes knights, or because moving knights is the baller thing that all the grandmasters do. It's because it accomplishes something in their situation. If life was a game you could play over and over again, with executive control gradually fading in starting in the teenage years, a brilliant player might play each lifetime very differently. It's an interesting thought experiment to ask what skills you would develop as you "played" dozens or hundreds of lifetimes! Certainly not rigid rules like "wake up at 5am" or "wear the same thing every day."
Just to continue this thread, because it's interesting...
