‘21 Lessons for the 21st Century’ Review: The Yogabots Are Coming
It varies alot, it's noticably loud when the GPU is enabled, when I'm on integrated graphics it's usually not noticable.
There are a lot of unions that involve "superstar" style distributions of labor and equity, and they manage it just fine. For example players unions, the DGA and SAG/AFTRA all have about as extreme a distribution as you could imagine. The key is to set minimums for performance, not maximums. That prevents exploitation without limiting individual performance.
Were they real jobs? Did you end up selecting anyone? If so, what bucket did they fit in - cheap and abundant or quality?
Isn’t the inversion a trivial transpose for rotations since they’re orthogonal?
HSV has been my color space of choice when I made simulators for government and industry. That's been my technique since 2007. Lerping through colors that way always looks atleast fine.

'25%' would have been a more appealing headline ... :D
I strongly believe that being able to hire a top-notch industrial designer can change the entire course of the company. With Apple, it was Jony Ive and for Braun it was Dieter Rams. With IBM, they were the executives that had an impeccable taste in design which propagated from top-down. System76 is well positioned to be in this space to shall I dare to say - compete with Apple? Only if they invest in design. It sounds like a stupid non essential thing but design sells. When it sells, boy it sells; it makes the backbone of a company.

As it stands, System76 has mediocre branding and design in my personal opinion. Not great, but also not bad. I am not excited about the wooden trim approach integrated in the PC case. But, these things are subjective. If they nail ID, I believe they have a really bright future. When I say, hire a top notch designer - I mean, someone who can change the world type; not someone that they can just hire by posting a job ad. But, it has to start from the owners of the company. If they think Design as a cost center in marketing, forget about it.
It looks really, really cool (very nice specs, and attractive too). I wonder how well it’ll run Debian stable. A lot of folks like Ubuntu, and no doubt System76 are doing a fine job with Pop!_OS (gosh that’s an odd name though), but I’m happiest with a system I can set up exactly as I like.
> If you're a 10X coder it doesn't really behoove you to pull up ranks with all of the 1X coders.

I do not get the point. If someone is a 10x coder should that developer accept sexual harassment?
I hope it comes with a mortgage.
> I noticed your sadness about the limitations on the picture of the indian woman leaning against a tree whose hand came out red,

I think the biggest problem is that picture is not the hand (its very visible and it could be easily fixed in post processing), it's the blue shade in the clothes that just should not be there. Otherwise, the colors are great (skin and all look very real).
This is Warcraft III, remastered. This is not Warcraft IV. Just like it says on the tin.
This is a remaster of Warcraft3. Which means, updated graphics, but proabably mostly a 1:1 copy of the original game.

It was announced at BlizzCon, which is happening these days.
1)Have stored procedures with parameters for all you backend transactions
2)Make sure you have foreign key constraints between tables
3)Log everything so that you can track
4)Daily backup your db so that you can restore in case something happens
5)Create primary keys for each table
6)For all you order make sure if is between transaction and roll back in case of failures
7)After successful, payment transaction, send out email notification to the end customer. You can cc yourself too. Again this if for auditing purpose.
What I came up is a very quick list. Again you need to thoroughly analyze your req. and come up appropriate solutions

Isn't it solving a different problem? My understanding of gfx-rs is that it implements vulkan on top of X, where X is direct3d, metal, opengl, or vulkan. (It also implements a high-level graphics api in rust, but exposes a vulkan implementation to c programs.)
The Science of Sleep: How to Sleep Better Every Night
We never claimed to be completely free of bias, or immune to nepotism. We're human.

I think you're making it to be a bigger deal than it actually is. Most of these things are just noise. We just ignore it. If someone rises to prominence with outrageously fake results, rest assured that they will get shot down quickly by concurrents (all the incentive to publish fake results lies within highly competitive fields). If you know what you're doing, and work in a lab where people know what they're doing too, you can still do pretty good science. I would guess than in all communities, academic or not, there's a nonzero amount of bogus, over-hype, nepotism, politics and what not, and a subset of people who actually get things done and make the whole field advance. After a while, the test of time truly determines what was actually useful from what is bunk. That's how it's always been.
FYI Apple didn't come up with the idea of having differing cores: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_big.LITTLE
Sure will. Though I'm super awesome at coming up with personal project ideas, and significantly less awesome at finishing them.

I'm also working again on a space naval battle RTS game, which is entirely command-line driven. Written in Rust, using an unfamiliar game engine, because I can't make things easy for myself. :-)
To me, this is a symptom of Google transforming into just another BigCo riding its own coattails, with just an ideology of its own greatness. The ability to remove people through accusations outside of a rigorous and impartial process is simply too great a power not to go abused. All the more the shame that there's a certain degree of real need and idealism behind the justification. I'm talking about both accusations of interpersonal impropriety and accusations of attitudes of social injustice. Peter Boghossian and others have discussed the idea that Intersectionality has become like a religion. The way that people use accusations in that belief system are eerily similar to the way religious people used to make accusations of immorality in the past. (Often for power and material gain.)

Perhaps they have accurately assessed that Google has such a glass jaw in terms of its perceived need for top “talent” that it is hyper sensitive to any PR that might lead prospective employees not to consider them.

Google could easily replace its own numbers 4X over and wind up with pretty much the same level of talent. The problem isn't the talent. It's the operational knowledge embodied in its workforce. If I were Google's management, I'd be thinking of some sort of way to wrest back that source of worker power. Unfortunately, I think the upper management of Google are themselves true believers, and to stay in power, they'll have to maintain a faction inside Google loyal to them personally. Under the surface, the inner political life of Google may be getting uglier.

EDIT: The way to wrest back power from the worker pool, would be to distribute it in small enough pieces, such that any one group is replaceable. Then set all of the groups against each other. Maybe the atmosphere of inter-group accusation brought about by Intersectionality is actually desired by upper management at Google?
Chris on Coder Radio has talked about the different DEs before. His explanation of it I still think is one of the better ones.

KDE just has a higher cognitive load. You have the control menu, you have drop downs, you could have a button on the bottom, GNOME apps are just simpler. You have all this busyness in the menus while GNOME apps can be just simpler to get into, use, and find things.

Not to say GNOME is going in the right direction. I use Cinnamon on Manjaro for a reason.

Client Side Decorations have been horrible for some apps. Like gedit, the UI is so horrible GNOME can't even get people to maintain it and had to put out a public call. While Cinnamon's Xed editor looks like old gedit and works great.

But overall, GNOME apps are just easier to use.
It's a remaster in the same spirit as Starcraft Remastered. Higher resolution textures, higher polygon counts, better animation, higher resolution options. Same game.
Don't ever present custom presentations or documents without first having some sort of a commitment from the prospect.

1.You are wasting your time
2. You are coming across as desperate

By commitment I mean a phone call.

The number one mistake I see freelancers make is not schedule a time to talk to the prospect. Calls are amazing because they do a few things:

1. Filter out people who are not serious about their projects (it's either a side project for them and they have not fully dedicated themselves to it, or they are just shopping around for prices)

2. Allow you to sell yourself without trying. This is really easy to do counter to all the advice out there. Just listen. Listen carefully. Sympathize. Be there so they can cry their problems on your shoulder and then offer to relieve that pain by providing an end-to-end solution.

I have learned all of this the hard way - presenting free quotes, proposals and all that bs. Only when I stopped doing that and focused more on the networking aspect - talking to the person and understanding their problem - becoming their friend - that I got most projects.
It doesn't really matter if his current wealth is a derivative of past dealings or recent success. He still owes those past debts unless he declared bankruptcy and they were discharged.

Ask HN: What will help me come up with startup/app ideas?
I really love web development, and I finally have enough skills (at Node/React full-stack webdev) and free time to build anything I want, and there's nothing I want more than to make something cool and useful. But I have absolutely no good ideas, I've been stuck for a long time, and I can't figure out why.

I've read PG's essays, watched startup school videos, read countless books on startups and project management and creativity, and I still fail to invent something new/original/useful.

Any tips or advice would be very helpful!

----

I have also have already built a bunch of projects (you can check them out at https://rayalez.com), they have some traffic/users, but I ended up getting stuck and I have trouble finding a way to take them further than initial few hundred users. Which one of them do you think looks the most promising? What can I do to make it more successful and turn it into a business? What would you do in my place?
Agreed. And (as was largely the point of my thesis) these things are tradeoffs, a spline that's perfect in all these ways is not possible. I played around a bit and am not feeling that they'd be great for font design (they play pretty similarly to Séquin's circle splines, which of course you cite, though I think better).

We're now pretty far afield from the subject of the superiority of Rust over C++^W^W^W tau over pi^W^W^W geometric algebra over quaternions. I'd be more than happy to continue the discussion somewhere else.
Clojure answers the question "How far can you go if your data is just immutable maps, lists and sets?"

The answer is, pretty damn far.
Another approach could be taken by going the exact opposite direction: find out what it actually is which causes differences in intelligence and use this to find a way to raise the intelligence of the species _as a whole_, no matter their phenotype. After all, it is not the amount of melanin in your skin which defines intelligence. That there _is_ a genetic component to intelligence has been proven many times - search ${search_engine} for "genetic intelligence" for a summary of the current science on the subject which seems to indicate a 50% 'nature', 50% 'nurture' contribution to individual intelligence - so it does not make sense to try to put this genie back into its bottle. Someone is likely to do the research in those coming 200 years which you envision it will take for the world population to homogenise, it would be best if that someone did the research in the open and shared the results with the world instead of using it for some nefarious plan - intelligence and morality are not the same thing after all.
I do not get the point. If someone is a 10x coder should that developer accept sexual harassment?

No. However, they might not want to accept lowering their individual negotiating power by averaging it down to the collective's level.

Historically, a problem with movements of utopian ideals, is that they tend to be disconnected with reality while their adherents keep doubling down. Eventually, everyone is accused, and most everyone outside of the most fanatical true believers are frightened someone else will find out what it is they really think. Examples of this can be found cutting across different root cultures, different continents, and different eras. Many of the examples are concentrated in the 20th century, however.
Please do blog about this. I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts!
I'm having trouble following the proof of lemma 1, and I can't tell if it's the notation being different from what I'm used to.

Is the expression for gamma prime equal to negative the square of the distance between x and y, that is, -<x-y,x-y>? I'm curious, because I would have expected a stronger property to be necessary for the parallelogram structure.
Can confirm the corruption that exists. I was in academia for some time and I had an advisor who pushed for the publication of a paper I was coauthoring, even when we found out that the methodology didn't work at all. They pressed on, deciding to misrepresent the results by leaving out certain findings - and I chose to have my name removed from the paper.

I knew it would cause drama to reveal the real reason I wanted to be taken off the paper, so I made up something else. It was strange because they couldn't possibly understand why I would not want to be associated with that.

Meanwhile my other advisor would also choose to leave out relevant statistical findings which provided evidence directly against their hypotheses.

I didn't stay there much longer :)
Ask HN: Did Firefox (63.0.x) just force re-enable autoplay?
One of the many reasons I switched off Chrome in the past couple of years has been the disabling of options to turn off autoplay video. They literally removed the option, because it's part of their ad business model. Of course, attention means impressions means billable ad dollars.

However, my Firefox auto-updated to version 63.01 and now not only is autoplay turned ON again, but searching for 'autoplay' in options shows nothing. Also, a document from the Mozilla foundation about turning it off is outdated (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-autoplay) shows options that this new Firefox does NOT have.

Dear HN Community: how do I rid myself of this scourge? I find it egregious that video should autoplay in any capacity at any point anywhere in this ad-filled world, much less on MY computer equipment.

Thanks!

Ask HN: What is the best resource to learn ES6?
VS + Resharper (or better yet + VsVim) is a miles better experience

next on the list after VS would be Rider,

then VScode...

I cannot remember the last time Vs crashed, a bit slower to open, but percentage wise, I spend hardly any time opening it. Extensions are sort of more involved to set up, but it's not that hard to do. It uses a bunch of resources, but I have lots of resources for it, settings don't seem too out of the ordinary, like most things, it just works out of the box and has a deep set of settings to customize it.

There is wisdom in this.
> requires setting up a very specific environment, installing specific versions of libraries, using some niche software and converting data from one byzantine format to another

Containerisation is fairly mature and simple to use. Many in other fields struggle with these exact same issues and are able to create reproducible environments just fine.

I find it amazing that those publishing don't include their implementation, all that work locked away on a rusty hdd.
That might be true of their personal computers, but the control systems are unlikely to be T61s.
> frequent flyers bring the vast majority of profits to airlines

I wouldn't say that's true at all. But even if the majority of profits comes from infrequent flyers, the cost of losing one of them may be multiple orders of magnitude less expensive than losing a frequent flyer.

I don't think they are competing for the same market, they compete for those who don't care about building a PC but still want FOSS software as well as for some business customers.

There are plenty of people that are developers or Linux users (e.g. data science) that don't know anything about hardware nor do they care to know anything about it they just want something that works, sure they can spend time "researching" it but why bother? famously even Linus said he doesn't install his own linux distro not that he couldn't but even he would actually need to do some research if he would want to build one completely from scratch.

So their target market is essentially the person who would buy a Mac Pro or a dell workstation and if they have good support for theirs both in terms of FOSS software and post purchase hardware support they have a market to sell too.

I know people that spend 5-10K on a Dell workstation just to have "official" Linux support and decent onsite service, if these would sell outside of the US they would likely to switch.

Martin Fowler- Thoughts on Evolutionary Architecture
I like the way you think, and think that a full-scale experiment would be the best way to answer this question.
I'm no game developer. But wouldn't it be important for game engines to use the most performant approach. Is there a difference in performance when using rotors instead of quaternions?
It makes me wonder why more effort isn't put into finding alternatives to this fundamentally broken system.
I'm also not at all convinced by the 10x developer myth.

I've yet to meet a 10x code writer who was really worth it. Difficulties in dealing on an interpersonal level usually counteracted whatever advantage they could bring to a team.

Much more valuable are the 10x managers. In truth, they're more like 2x or 3x, but they are quite rare though they are quite real.
What do you mean? The trailer indicates that it's going to be in 4k.

I think that this should prompt scrutiny in fields that are highly dependent upon statistical analysis, such as climate change. However, this very suggestion is intolerable to many and in a way equivalent to blasphemy against the church science. Scrutiny will not be tolerated by academe with regard to ideas held as sacrosanct. I find this culture in academia pretty disgusting.
Sure, that's certainly plausible. There are many reasons why an intelligence agency might want to spy on a large nation's state-owned energy conglomerate. The US government has indeed denied that the Petrobras spying was for economic gain [1]:

>"The department does not engage in economic espionage in any domain, including cyber," the agency said in an emailed response to a Washington Post story on the subject last month.

>In a statement issued on Sunday night after the latest revelations aired in Brazil, the US director of national intelligence, James Clapper, said: "It is not a secret that the intelligence community collects information about economic and financial matters, and terrorist financing.

>"We collect this information for many important reasons: for one, it could provide the United States and our allies early warning of international financial crises which could negatively impact the global economy. It also could provide insight into other countries' economic policy or behavior which could affect global markets."

>But he again denied this amounted to industrial espionage. "What we do not do, as we have said many times, is use our foreign intelligence capabilities to steal the trade secrets of foreign companies on behalf of – or give intelligence we collect to – US companies to enhance their international competitiveness or increase their bottom line."

Maybe they're right. But how can we possibly know they're actually telling the truth? Especially when the intelligence agencies' job is essentially to lie?
