This is rich. Every YouTube creator that I follow has at least one video whose purpose is to rail against YouTube's mystifying demonetization policies, their trigger-happy DMCA policies that aggressively favor major copyright holders, and their opaque and useless litigation process. Here's one for reference: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bGZ_a6gL0f4 . Listening to the CEO of YouTube cry "but think of the content creators!" is about as transparently self-serving as a US politician crying "but think of the children!"
Venus is not as cold and unprotected as Mars:

- Very dense rich atmosphere, carbon dioxide 96.5%

- The pressure at its surface is equivalent to that at a depth of nearly 1 km under Earth's oceans; while it is 20 times less dense than fluid water

- It is the closest planet to Earth and has similar mass and size

- It has stable constant surface temperatures everywhere at any time around 450 C

Most semiconductors will not work in this conditions. This is the problem we may need to solve first.
I wonder if we'll see YouTube creators push towards more educational/documentary style videos.
Yes, that's a nice approach. However, this approach requires you to list all your keys in advance (in the enum).

The `semi::static_map` does not require this.This is especially useful if you are writing library code: imagine you are programming a `getFont` method - you don't know with which constexpr keys your method will be called, so there is no way for you to list all these keys in an enum.
Look at the approach from my other comment. Requires only 1 symbol.

Personal Hotspot is not the same thing as mobile data...I suppose it's possible it's what the parent meant, but unless you meant to say that there was a switch to turn cellular data access for the phone itself on and off there, I don't think that's going to solve the stated problem.

Content ID seems pretty robust* for non-live content. I uploaded a copy of one of the few wide-release U.S. movies in the public domain ("His Girl Friday" [0]) and was hit with a takedown notice instantaneously as the upload finished. I didn't contest it at the time, and I wonder if it's because Content ID was triggered by the Columbia Pictures fanfare/logo in the opening.

edit: By "robust", I actually mean, "a bit overly proactive", in that the system seems to be efficient in its detection, but the system's design seems unavoidably vulnerable to false positives.
Honestly I don’t think it could be any simpler. The problem is some of the questions it asks about privacy and the cloud are beyond the scope of many people. But these questions need to be asked.
No. Like you don't care about one's ability to make some concrete when hiring an architect. It's nice to have, might be essential on some specific projects. Usually won't matter.
You’re correct about motion, but that’s not my main concern.

My main concern is range finding. The human brain uses parallax and eye focus information to figure out where objects are in space. All VR toolkits right now vary parallax for range, but can only produce light that is focused on one plane. This confuses the human brain, because it now has two pieces of information that disagree badly.

This is actually why the Air Force abandoned its first attempts at HUD helmets, iirc the post I saw here said that the Air Force had to enforce a 24 ban on driving after using them, because your sense of range and speed would be wildly out of whack after using it. They were also worried about brain damage after excessive use.

I’m glad that you like VR gaming, I personally found it to be novel but ultimately uninteresting after a few minutes.
Its clearly not a practical guide.

> I never understood why colonizing Mars is needed.

For the same reason in tech we have backup servers, HA clustering, disaster recovery sites, etc. A bit of redundancy helps in case something goes wrong.

> Earth would be more "hospitable" to life than any other planet in our solar system

Currently, sure. But other planets, especially mars, can be terraformed and made habitable one day ( it would take hundreds or thousands of years ).

> It's much easier to build and maintain a bio-dome in the Sahara desert, Arctic region, Cheyenne mountains or underwater than on Mars.

Sure but a terraformed mars can support more life eventually.

> Earth at it's worst is much better than anywhere else in our solar system.

The same goes for siberia, alaska, canada, etc. There are far more hospitable places to live on earth than those places. But people still explored, migrated and settled. It's human nature.

Edit: Not sure why I'm being downvoted but if anyone is interested in a talk of mars colonization, here is an interesting TED talk.

The outlets will be production studios that will eventually monetize the money on youtube.

All that this regulation does is (surprise!) add intermediaries, reducing the amount of money youtube and content creators get, and increasing the barrier of entry for new creators.
Less creators means the customers get less creative content.
Adblock works on the network layer, for the most part, so this would continue to work. Furthermore, most content isn't going to migrate to canvas-based rendering, as that's much more complicated to setup.

The GP I was answering too was talking about figma, a sort of content creation app in the browser. Being able to write those tools and deploy them via the web is a net positive for the web. Just like all the good ol' flash based games were an awesome thing for the web.

When flash was a thing, most web content didn't move to flash. Not only did Flash behave in a foreign way, breaking the user's habit, it was significantly harder to create flash content than web content. Similarly, it's delusional to think most web content will move to wasm. The barrier of entry is enough to prevent that.

I think you are right. However, almost any large company CEO often tries to skew policy/rules/politics in different directions, some of those may be beneficial to the society.

Just so we're all on the same page, this is article 13.1: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...

"Information society service providers that store and provide to the public access to large amounts of works or other subject-matter uploaded by their users shall, in cooperation with rightholders, take measures to ensure the functioning of agreements concluded with rightholders for the use of their works or other subject-matter or to prevent the availability on their services of works or other subject-matter identified by rightholders through the cooperation with the service providers. Those measures, such as the use of effective content recognition technologies, shall be appropriate and proportionate. The service providers shall provide rightholders with adequate information on the functioning and the deployment of the measures, as well as, when relevant, adequate reporting on the recognition and use of the works and other subject-matter."

Now, as written, that seems to be not so bad for Youtube who already have content-ID for the rightsholders, but bad for other competing services starting up which would have to develop it?

Both your approach and the `semi::static_map` will generate the same type of load instruction. In both cases, the compiler knows the offset of the values in memory at compile-time. The number of symbols is not really important here.
I feel like this would be improved with hyperlinks for context.

To add to what you said: 50,000 visitors in 3 years is much less than 50,000 visitors in one month for example. From my experience sites with low traffic do not receive the same high quality ads as the top sites. This is done so that top publishers always have revenue and also because is harder to detect fraud on low traffic.

Also, the numer of ads to be served on the network varies and when it drops, the lower quality, lower traffic sites are the first to remain without ads that convert and so without revenue.

20 year UX veteran here. It's absolutely unheard of for UX to be the final arbiter on marketing &/or development driven features.

To take your 3D touch example. I'll bet it went a little something like this; development said 'we can now detect pressure', leads (inc UX) brainstormed on ways to utilise the functionality. Then it's soley on UX to make it usable.

I've never been involved in a situation where I get to demand capabilities that hitherto did not exist. Nor have I ever held the power to stop-ship. We have varying degrees of touch on functionality as it evolves for sure but not the power you assume we have.

> Yes, they modelled it after Epita which was also about code, code, code.

I don't know where you last got your information about Epita, but this has been less and less true for around 10 years now.

They sought to have a state certified engineering degree for a long time and implemented a lot of changes around 2003-2007 that made the cursus a bit less about code a more about common engineering stuff (maths, physics, english, ...) with more structure (they structured classes with a credit system, made more standard student evaluations, ...)

So which is it? Do you think YouTube is too much in favour of DMCA or too against it?

I think that one should know deeply about its craft.

Architecture is about design so it's fair to think that an architect should know about art and (some kind of) product design.

The analogy that I can think would be something like - A developer should know about network and how the user will use software, this concepts are important even if the programmer do not work directly with this things.
Not by the connections, but from the benchmarks I've seen GPUs can't keep up with that for graphics-intensive games. FreeSync/G-Sync do help a bit getting at least more than 60 fps.
> I don't see how scientists or staticians would be unable to understand a basic knowledge like zero-based indexing

Of course they can. In fact, they tend to have a complex relationship with indexing which is why Julia supports such a rich indexing language.

But the default the Julia team chose was the natural, mathematical default rather than the natural memory addressing default. Which, given what they were trying to achieve, was entirely sensible.

And, on a side note, just because something is physically possible, it doesn't follow that it's the most sensible choice. Otherwise language development would have stopped at the first Turing complete language.

What the Julia team is attempting to do is make the transition for their target audience as seamless as possible. This can be seen in their indexing language but also in their choice of dispatch, their type conversion architecture etc. A great deal of thought goes into these decisions (you can see it in their issue/RFC trackers). "A CS freshman could work it out" doesn't even come close.

> Personally I think colonizing planets is a waste of time. There's plenty of minerals and water in asteroids and other space junk, and they don't have large gravity wells to deal with.

I more-or-less agree with this much, but the most suitable place to start learning to colonize space rocks is probably Phobos.
What you don't realize about Epitech (and other similar private schools) is that the only value you're getting is paying a bunch of millionaires the right to join a selective program.

I graduated from an enginnering school, and you can absolutely skip all classes if you wanted to. Sure, the teachers don't encourage you to do it, but the freedom is definitely there.

BUT, since there will always be a percentage of students who don't succeed in a "traditional" way, a bunch of rich people will always attempt to lure them into a paid program (which is, I repeat, selective). So they learn quite a bit, and they can become high-earners in the future, since they're all hanging out with technically good people.

Virus Android. Removal Methods (Uninstall Guide) – FrontNet Blog
Elon’s idea was great, but he also had the advantage of being first. When the roadster came out there were no other premium electric cars, so it could dominate that (small) market.

Now the FF91 needs to justify why it’s more expensive than every car Tesla sells, the iPace, and the Taycan (which should be available when the FF91 was set to go on sale). In all those cases the FF91 is at least 2x more expensive, and all those cars are made by companies with established records.

Jumping in and selling a premium EV now is almost as hard as selling a premium SUV from nothing. It can be done, but holy crap it’ll be hard.
There was one time my wife's iPhone would not turn off the light. It kept shining even if you turn on and off the flashlight feature. Told her to turn it off and on again.. She couldn't. I had to watch a YouTube video and do it for her.

I mentioned this to a colleague and he too had to turn it off one day but didn't know how.

The steps aren't intuitive and if you ask me again to do it, I would need to Google it again

Really it's not how often you need to do it, but the fact the most basic and fundamental step of turning off a device can't be accomplished with searching online.
Same! I built my X62 after reading his post. How did you do your replacement screen? I have the HD version but I cracked something internally when I was replacing the bulb to LED :/. Works great besides some light leakage on the corner. I just cover it with some tap to stop it from blinding me.
There's a lot more "just" to deploying anything of the sort to a 1,000+ physical store footprint.

At minimum, what's the local network situation? Where are you storing and processing the take? Are you installing edge compute or transferring it out? If the later, what are your latency requirements?

This is impressive, and I hope you'll forgive my rather pedantic comment, but it seems to me you've got the terminology the wrong way around. What you've got here is a process for reducing depth of field, not adding it. In the rendered examples which are labeled on the left, "No depth of field", I'd call that: "Infinite depth of field".

Though of course looking at the pictures makes the intended meaning clear in any case.

> I contend that doing a course or learning how a computer works at a fundamental level is a skill just like touchtyping that will remain even into the next generation of phones.

While I agree with exactly what you're saying here, I don't think Apple's UX choices pertain at all to how a computer works at a fundamental level. Even changes between OS and software revisions have upended what I thought I'd learned about it, which is entirely dissimilar from using a keyboard where you can literally just look down at your hands if you forget where your hands are or if you are using a new layout.

As far as hand held computers go, using a Palm V was much easier and more comparable to a keyboard in the sense that I had to internalize the Graffiti alphabet. Once that was done, every setting and system application on the thing was clearly laid out in consistent forms and modal dialogs, with the input working consistently across all applications. You didn't have to coerce it into marking text instead of magnifying, and its analogue to iTunes wasn't a backpack-sized Swiss army knife.

I know how a computer works at a fundamental level, but whenever I have to use iTunes to manage the data on my phone I'm in for a googlefest. You don't need some cargo cult residing on an Apple user forum to give you various more or less outdated opinions on where the tilde key is located on the keyboard if you happen to forget. I could probably tell you on a pretty detailed level how MP3 works, but to this day I haven't figured out how to get songs off my iPhone to the PC.

Meanwhile, I've had phones and MP3 players that I could just connect with USB and they'd show up as mass storage devices with a regular file system. Perfectly intuitive no-nonsense approach compared to launching iTunes once a year only to learn that they've completely reworked the thing so that you can now only enable uploading plain MP3 recordings by checking some obscure checkbox hidden away in a dialog accessible from a menu.

To be fair, the trivial features I typically use on a daily basis all seem very intuitive and accessible, but any slight step off the path Apple has laid out for you is always a pain in the ass, which in my experience holds true for OS X to an even greater extent. Often it's not hard, but unergonomic and esoteric. Often, as is the case with managing music on the thing, there is an obvious alternative that would be much more user friendly.
Exactly. So the solution YouTube has isn't appropriate. They should invest in a better solution even if that involves having more humans in the loop for review/approval.

That's the true cost of their business.
They'd just like to portray it as the law being an ass rather than their solution being inadequate for the laws.

It's a clear case of "Our machines aren't humans and we don't want to have to comply with laws that could substantially damage our payroll spend"
