I do agree on the cheap and pragmatic approach, yet they could display actual telemetry over the 3d render. Speeds do not match reality in graphs. It is not a movie but Science to me here.

I'd love to hear from a SpaceX engineer if their webcasts indeed shows live telemetry (speed / altitude) or not. Also SpaceX's webcasts illustrations looks like they run in a game engine which is both cheap and highly customizable with input data.

Yeah but what about just crashes per mile? I'm sure there's more than plenty enough data to determine if Waymo is better in at least that. Since you need a crash to have a fatality, safety comparisons can be inferred from less than 3 million miles.
Streaming Music: One-Third of the World Is Still Pirating Music
Hey everyone,

I’m part of the Muze team at Charts.com. Over the years I’ve seen lots of people who struggle to find the perfect balance between low-level visualization kernel (like d3), or black-box configurable charts (HighCharts, FusionCharts).

So we decided to build Muze taking a data-first approach, where you load your data in an in-browser DataModel, run relational algebra enabled data operators to get the right subset of data, and then just pass to Muze engine, which automatically renders the best visualization for it.

Any changes to data (including application of data operations) automatically updates the visualization, without you having to do anything else.

Couple of added benefits are :
- With other libraries, if you’ve to connect multiple charts (for cross-interactivity, drill-down etc.), you’ve to manually write the ‘glue’ code. With Muze, all charts rendered from the same DataModel are automatically connected (enabling cross-filtering).

- Muze allows faceting of data out of box with multi-grid layout.

- Composability of visualizations allow you to create any kind of cartesian visualization with Muze, without having to wait for the charting library vendor to release it as a ‘new chart type’

- Muze exposes Developer-first API for enabling interactivity and customizations. You can use the low-level API to create complex interaction

We’ve literally just launched this last month or so, so I’d love some feedback if you can spare the time.

Thanks for taking a look!

If they were, we'd have very few admirable historical figures. Character flaws (as judged by modern standards) have to seen in light of the times the person existed.
Yes, the problem is people on the paying side not realizing that payment change requests are fraudulent. So a better process removes people on the paying side routinely changing payment information. Require that payees sign into a separate service and they change the payment information themselves.
The "oh look, this disk drive is actually a whole PC" aspect reminds me of the "Mr. Backup Z64" copier for Nintendo 64. It had a 386-class embedded PC running a ROM-based DOS system to operate the internal Zip drive. Since the Zip drive sat on a standard ATA interface being driven by DOS, it could be replaced with a hard drive or CompactFlash slot.

More loosely, it's also reminiscent of the Commodore disk drives that had their own 6502-class CPU and a software interface to upload code. Some developers used this to create "fast loaders" that bypass the slow stock communication routines.
Thank you, I like the idea of rules. Billing, user, admin etc.

The issue with the credit card verification before trying the product is that as a user, I do not like that approach.

I want to try first and eventually pay. That is the experience I'd like to offer.
Engineers – speak up! Take your company back from the "Professional Managers"
In fact, the Instax line has been quite profitable for Fuji--it's very popular with kids and hipsters. But, as noted above, all the peel-apart films are gone now. You might find some old stock at high prices, but it's not being made any more.
I'm seriously considering using a pirated version of LTSB for my next build...
But now you may be wasting time dicking around with it instead of focusing on the goal of writing content. In my experience the procrastination of DIY is very tempting and it’s fun to pretend like you truly needed to DIY.

He's one of two really relevant critical thinkers on tech and is critical of some of the aspects since literally decades. The other, arguably, being Evgeny Morozov (for a shorter time).

Lanier certainly has the chops, the background and the deliverables to be taken seriously.

I think those guys are super important as a counterweight to the fawning and gushing (in general) tech press and I for one wish that they have far more reach, impact and influence.
For what it’s worth, control chart sensitivity rules are selected based on economic considerations. So the decision to use five points is influenced by both statics and how affordable it is to investigate why the control chart alerted. Sensitivity rules can be adjusted, applied, or ignored based on the specific situation and the analysts tolerance for false positives/negatives.
Right? I’m reading this going “wtf, go to the local drug store and grab a dollar bottle. Lazy twit.”

But point is relatively valid. These days of “custom pricing” due to metrics and real shady ways of displaying products/information is going to hit a breaking point. When, I’m not smart enough to forecast. I’m giving it another USA election or two from gut feeling. But the EU and USA are going to stick their nose into this at some point. Especially with another social media fiasco with an election or two. The big tech companies are building their own gallows and tying their own noose.

And it all started with “we track you to make your experience better”... scary part, my phone suggested each word to that after track.
The western 'standard' banana is 'dying' but there are many great varieties that seem to be doing well in SE Asia (for example)
I don't feel the original title is misleading at all.

But, I also don't think this is a huge deal, given that it's no longer on the front page.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I don't think it's likely that government-provided social software would work all that well in the contemporary USA (unless they built it with better security and privacy than they have ever wanted to see in the private sector), but the government can be seen as a version of cooperative funding and it's certainly worth thinking about.

I would like it if my local government funded an alternative to Nextdoor, for instance.
Just too many problems with the Russian space program recently. It is systematic problem and not an exception.
Pity that those genes are still catching up with Interlisp-D/Lisp Machines developer experience, though.
Eh, launch failures are probably approximately Poisson distributed. It's not unlikely for them to appear in clumps.
It is only the media itself that is centralized in Nelson's vision. Today it is the giant middle-men that are "centralized" and call themselves "media".

According to Jaron Lanier, Xanadu (Ted Nelson's concept) was all about "two-way" connectivity, not in a trivial sense like client/server websites today but deeply as in a "we're all authors" sense.

Cancer is unregulated growth. Since the authors are moving towards non-biologically derived catalysts, there will be no life-derived chloroplasts like they are currently using. So, you're asking can a non-biologically derived material spread indefinitely beyond the filling in of small cracks in its surface? I don't think there's a risk of that based on the article. Is there another non-biological material that spreads in the manner you've described?
Well, while I dream the same dream, it feels awkward asking my family and friends to pay 5€ per year so that we can share the cost of running our XMPP-Server. Currently, I pay all the bills and manage the server myself (so no cost/effort for them), and they still keep using WhatsApp with most of their contacts.

I don't know what the root of that evil is, but there are undoubtedly multiple factors involved. First of all, most people have WhatsApp already.

Secondly, it is effortless to use. With federated systems, you always have to choose a provider. Once you have overcome that hurdle, the privacy-sensitive people like us do not want to share their address book with the server so finding your people is a manual setup for everyone (another hurdle).

Last but not least, the client landscape of XMPP is still far from perfect. If you want to use end-to-end encryption (e.g., OMEMO) there are finally some clients which work with each other (Android: Conversations, iOS: ChatSecure, Desktop: Gajim), but configuring all that stuff (Server + Clients), is not as easy as pushing a button. Other features like video calls are still very fragmented and rarely work if different clients are involved.

I think it would take ten dedicated developers about a year to fix all those problems (if they would agree on common goals and focus on those) and even after that, we would still have to sell the product.
Yes, I agree that the ideal standard is holding responsible the person making the bad orders, and relieving them of duty.

That said, it is often impractical, or would create too much of a problem. E.g., the person currently occupying the President's chair and CIC title, is apparently issuing illegal orders (e.g., 'kill Assad'). The ideal solution is the 25th Amendment to relieve him of duty. The problem is that this requires the VP, majority of the Cabinet, then 2/3 of the Senate to execute. Even bigger hurdle for impeachment

This will simply not happen in today's environment, so what is someone in Mattis' position to do? Simply follow orders and become complicit in the crime, or find a way to undo them?

One of the key lessons I learned from several people I worked with who had held US Mil command positions, was that leadership is NOT about giving orders -- many civilians think that mil leadership is easy because of the Chain of Command and orders.

If you think that, then the best case is that you order "Do X" and your second in command says "Do what the chief says" -- i.e., he adds zero value. Leadership is about making those under your command want to execute your orders to the best of their ability.

The person currently occupying the President's chair fails miserably at that basic standard, the party supports his every move for a variety of reasons. Therefore, those under his command are stuck with workarounds.
I think that happened to all platforms then.
Do SREs (i.e., site reliability engineers) typically write software? Are there many problems that software can solve for SREs?
While its usage is certainly low, I also believe that its usage is under-reported at 5%. Many Firefox users today are privacy conscious and use plugins that block the sites that collect this data. Firefox even has built-in tracking blocker.
I sometimes wonder about the right of a country to use rapid deforestation / dirty energy as a way to development.

100-200 years ago, every modern developed economy did the same and cemented their positions as dominant economies. There is no question that these countries have been the majority contributors to climate change over the last 2 centuries.

Morally speaking, are underdeveloped countries not entitled to the same. Why should they use more expensive and cleaner fuel as payment for a problem that's not their fault ?

I see the fault in my own argument, which is that we are all on this together and massive collective action is the only recourse we have.

But, the perceived injustice faced by underveloped countries is probably not misplaced.

The onus is certainly on the west to take an initiative.
It's not about 'imposing' a 1:1 mapping. It's about assuming a mapping exists at all for every case. It doesn't. While it does for the vast, vast majority of cases every language pair will have a non zero percentage of things that have no possible mapping that one could construe as a translation.

The problem most people seem to have understanding this is two-fold:

1. They assume if you just had more data and better algorithms you could get better results.

2. They have never translated things themselves and come across a case where something didn't have a translation.

Remove the machines from the equation entirely. It's not always possible in 100% of cases for people to do it.

Naturally linguistically similar languages have more overlap and hence better success overall but that's really just a nice to have.

No matter how similar English and French are, if you ask someone to translate a meme that started in 4chan or Reddit into French you will quickly encounter a case where attempting to do so just doesn't work. I'm sure there are plenty of better examples than that but I don't know French.

It's an elephant in the room and stunningly few people seem to see it standing there.

それは部屋の象で、驚くほど少数の人々がそこに立っているのを見ているようです。

Lol Google really??

In fact case in point 'elephant in the room' if it were used inside a joke that relied on using the elephant as part of the joke would not be possible to translate. It just wouldn't make sense.
waves Y'all are talking about me. I was indeed on the wave team, although I joined Wave right near the end. (And then I stayed on to help opensource the whole thing.)

We wrote ShareDB at Lever[1], which was in the 2012 YC batch (iirc). We wrote it to allow realtime collaborative editing in our application of all our data fields by default. I'm still really proud of that work. ShareDB primarily uses JSON-OT[2], which lets you do realtime OT over arbitrary application data. The lever team has been maintaining & improving sharedb for the last few years, which is really lovely to see as I've moved on to other projects.

One nice thing about OT is that its much easier to implement. The original quilljs author (Jason Chen) wrote the rich text OT implementation. ShareDB works with any OT code (so long as operations can be JSON stringified / parsed). And its all hooked up in quill, which is super neat. And looking at the quill github[3], it looks like David Greenspan has been maintaining quill recently. David Greenspan is one of the original authors of Etherpad, which is one of the first web based text OT engines.

Maybe a case of "the corruption you might stand a chance to expose, vs. the corruption you don't"?
This guy sounds like a child. I was surprised about the lack of depth in his reasoning and explanations.
A bit out of topic but I remember you mentioned you were working on a lisp book and asked what we would wanna see on it.
Well for me, I'm super curious about compiler development, and I think, in the topic of this thread, maybe a chapter on writing a recursive descent parser for JS? building a transpiler? or using lisp as a intermediary with LLVM IR? somewhere where either DSL || "Code is data" and the true advantages of lisp shine through, and I would love that from an experienced lisper. Also if you could go into some use cases for tunable compilers that are seldom elaborated when that is mentioned as a huge lisp advantage! Thanks for giving the community your time in advance!
In the original paper of RGA, RGA does require that operations are received with respect to the causal ordering. And RGA preserves causality by state vector technique.
So what you're saying is, we should try to convince the existing villages (Facebook, reddit, Twitter) to adopt interoperability protocols?
There is no option in windows explorer, no.
This is better than the last one, for sure. Thanks.

Seems like we share the same sentiment where the red delicious is concerned.
I worked on the same team at Google for 4.5 years, and left 3 years ago. I was bored; I was getting better at doing the same thing, but I wasn't expanding as an engineer. I worked on a free product. We had no market incentives to make time-boxed decisions and could declare anything we did a success whether it was or not, which drove me nuts. I was at the New York office, so when the company got bad press you could usually rationalize it as "oh, it's this Other Google in Mountain View making these really bad decisions and having this weird cultural obsession with needing everything you do to be as hard as putting a man on the moon," but it dampened my enthusiasm for looking for an internal transfer. Staring down the end of my 20s, I ended up taking almost a year off to relax, reconnect with old friends, do a little traveling, fail to start a small business, and eventually interview.

I ended up at Etsy. A major criteria of mine was "find a business model I want to work for." Etsy checked all the boxes -- I was impressed by the caliber of people that I talked to when I was interviewing, I got a fair offer, I think the business model of selling local goods internationally is a good thing for the world, and I would be working directly on things that affected the bottom line. It hasn't been all sunshine and roses. There were 2 rounds of layoffs and almost everything has changed since I joined. But something that doesn't change very fast at a small established company is its business model, so I've managed to still be motivated to work there despite all the churn around me. It also helped me realize that some of the ennui I felt at Google was really a shifting of interests -- I'm not interested in technology for technology's sake anymore, but instead am motivated to solve problems that I think can be solved via technology.
The code base you worked on has nothing to do with how good or bad Lisp is. It's only an indication of how good or bad the programmers who wrote that code base are.
seems it stems from a study called "How Much Information? 2009 Report on American Consumers"

from the management summary :

"In 2008, Americans consumed information for about 1.3 trillion hours, an average of almost 12 hours per
day. Consumption totaled 3.6 zettabytes and 10,845 trillion words, corresponding to 100,500 words and
34 gigabytes for an average person on an average day. (...) We defined “information” as flows of data delivered to people and we measured the bytes, words, and
hours of consumer information. Video sources (moving pictures) dominate bytes of information, with 1.3
zettabytes from television and approximately 2 zettabytes of computer games."

Clojure has this advantage of Java Interop. So even if you didn't find native Clojure libraries, you can always find Java libraries. And you will find Java libraries for pretty much everything under the Sun. Sure they had to sacrifice a lot for that, but ultimately its worth it.

Any language that has to compete and be acceptable to the larger programming community today needs libraries. So it kind of becomes a Chicken/Egg problem.

I don't think anything today will ever reach the levels of Java usage. Partly because no company is likely to spend on a new language as much as Sun spent on Java.

So you are pretty much well off building on their ecosystem than fight it.

Having said that, TCO is the only thing I missed in Clojure compared to CL.
They got a rep for being cool in 2006, the real psyop was keeping that reputation going
When I saw the stark red banner at the top, I thought my browser was showing me a warning about the site.
My understanding of OT is that each change requires traveling backward though the edit history to find the first state that is consistent between sites, then traveling forward to transform the new change against past edits. In the worst case, an edit requires transformation against the document’s origin state.

Is that not the case?
1) it doesn't have to be a boondoggle, but it generally is because of US citizens' love of cars

2) 7.7% is a nontrivial number, and I expect it to increase if transportation became more accessible
Any language has sufficient rope if the programmer is sufficiently clever.

Not hanging yourself is a convention and most languages that are more mainstream have bigger communities and more conventions (and frankly, more adults encouraging them).

I have a hard time blaming the language for what are essentially organizational problems.

Too many lisp people start projects doing everything with a single implementor.

Therefore the convention starts out as “whatever this guy wants to do that works.” Anyone working in a bubble like that is bound to eventually create something that makes sense to the implementor, but not necessarily outside people.

Which is why you need peer review when you’re writing your code. If you don’t get it, you’re gonna have problems. Maybe there is something about lisp that makes it difficult to review, but I think more likely there is something about lispers that makes them unwilling to do that particular set of work.
It really depends on where you measure it. A 4k BluRay is somewhere around 60-80GB for a single movie. But then when that is uncompressed and sent to the actual screens you are talking multiple gigabits a second. With 4k60 being somewhere in the 12 to 18 gbit range at the peaks. If it were at 16gbit for 2 hours, that would be ~14TB of information transferred.

If you are talking streaming bandwidth, Netflix says 25mbit is required for 4k video streaming. If it were to use all of that for 2 hours that is 22GB for a movie. Though its likely only using half that. I haven't actually measured it. And then there is the same inflation to what is sent to screen.
