If the cost of everything has stayed the same for the last century, that's correct. In real life, however, the economics have changed; a number of cities are actually bringing back tram lines and/or trambuses. This is partially because (tracked) tram lines can support far greater line capacity than buses, though.

For plants growing in vertical shafts, it seems to me that plants will have to get used to grow somehow horizontally or at an 90 angle (last 2 figures in the article [0]). How would that be possible? I think this may come to a misunderstanding and an oversimplification of this technique and plants would still grow vertically and upwards.

That's poor management. IMO, you should find another job and write a glassdoor review.

I've stayed away from a few similar situations due to glassdoor reviews.
They are also exporting more electric vehicles than ever before.
It is my understanding that PhysX is more comparable to a physics engine, like Bullet Physics or Open Dynamics Engine, both of which Gazebo integrates. Perhaps they could now integrate PhysX as well...

EDIT: When I say "integrates", I actually mean "interfaces with"; you can run Gazebo simulations using either physics engine (although switching between the two is not quite as simple as that).
Has there been any research into safe, electrified highways? I imagine if the car could cruise while essentially “plugged in” it would dramatically increase the range and ability of EVs. Challenging task I admit.

Ask HN: Is there a site which aggregates conference videos?
I was looking at the Hashicorp conference videos and then the goto; conference videos and there's some great content out there, but if I've never heard of a conference I don't know to look for the videos for it. Is there a site which does this aggregation of conference videos already?
It’s a fairly direct path, since computational drug discovery relies heavily on protein folding predictions.

I spent 5 months on a personal crypto trading/analytics platform and I have no regrets.
During that time I learned:

- Crypto coins: understood how they worked on a basic level, trading stuff

- Python: including how to use decorators, unit tests

- Flask: a python web framework to be the web service side

- Pandas: a python data analysis library to get insights on the crypto behavior

- MongoDB: configured and used the service as the database of the whole app

- Microservices: I had the chance to work with microservices for the first time

- Telegram Bot API: Discovered how to basic stuff

Without a doubt, this made me a better professional, even though I don't work with Python on my job.

I'm sure you learned a lot during you project and now you can see things from a different perspective than before, so you didn't waste five months.

I wasn't citing my actual viewing distance for the 55" TV, just indicating how far back I could stand and still see a single illuminated pixel on it.

As for the 12" display, ~18" is the proper viewing distance. The proper viewing distance for a 55" TV is about 7-8'. Even for a monster 85" TV the viewing distance is only around 12'. At a viewing distance of 25' the display should be close to 200".

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Python, Django, JavaScript, Vue.js, WordPress, InfusionSoft, Pen & Paper

Résumé/CV: https://matthiashager.com/

Email: mwhager87 at gmail

Pros:

- long history of online marketing AND web development gives me a unique perspective

- incredibly quick learner and am constantly pushing myself to expand and improve

- 6+ years experience working remotely

- 5+ years freelancing shows I'm self-motivated, a great communicator, and other cliché résumé words

- I now know how to type é (without copy-pasting!)

Cons:

- our cats like to cry at me when I'm on calls

- I've been told I can be sarcastic, but I simply don't see it

- I'm unfortunately not musically inclined, so if you ask new employees to sing a song on their first team call, I'm noping out of there so fast (yes, this is apparently a real thing)
I suppose one source of risk is that if enough miners exit then it becomes viable for a bad actor to purchase enough computing power to mount an attack.

Machine learning is not just glorified statistics
I have ported applications to Mac OS X, including applications that other people wrote and ones that I wrote. Let's say that you're starting with a C or C++ application using the Macintosh Toolbox APIs, built with MPW or CodeWarrior. A common path is:

1. Switch to using the Carbon API, and create a "carbonized" application that works on both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X (same executable for both platforms, basically a special executable format and some restrictions on how you used various APIs)

2. Once you don't care about Mac OS 9 support, migrate to Project Builder (or at least GCC)

3. Eventually, migrate to Cocoa

The path was set up so that you could stop at any point along the way and keep shipping your application. In my personal experience, steps #1 and #3 could be difficult and labor-intensive, but step #2 was usually easy.

My understanding is that Quark got stuck and took too long to complete step #1, long enough that their customers didn't want to keep Mac OS 9 around just so they could use QuarkXPress and switched to InDesign.

Step #2 mostly involved fixing the parts of your code which used weird, non-standard C extensions that GCC did not support. Things like:

(long)*ptr = x;

Adobe got stuck on #3, which is understandable because it's an enormous amount of work with a relatively low payoff. The main drawback of not completing step #3 is that you're stuck with a 32-bit application until you complete it.
DeepMind AI models new proteins for life-saving drugs in hours instead of years
Marshall Cline's C++ FAQ is really, really good, IMO. I had read it some years ago, I think both the online version and the book, even though I've not really worked on C++ in projects. It goes into good depth and detail, not only on C++ language features and points, but also a lot into OOP/OOAD topics. Things like why you should (sometimes) push code from the client to the server - push in the sense of shift, not in the sense of mobile code, how old code can call new code - that didn't exist when the old code was written - don't remember the full details of that one right now, it may be via virtual functions and inheritance), and many more such things, a lot of them very useful. And all written in a fun, engaging style.

> I find “portemantout” doesn't roll off the tongue. Instead, something like “portemantotal” would sound better.

But 'porte' and 'manteau' are French, so it makes sense to try to work in 'tout' rather than 'total'.

Also, 'portmantout' (not, I think, 'portemantout', since the original is 'portmanteau') involves only one change in vowel sound, right, not any major shift in pronunciation?

until you have to endure the fifth rejection and realize you have to multiply this effort for every interviews. Whereas you can prep for an algorithms interview once, and any additional prep is incremental and focused by prior interviews.
The big idea is tracing the roots of language to ancestors.

It's historical, comparative linguistics. At least for me, this is just an intensive hobby.

There's an intersection with CS in computational methods, which, is IMHO severly lacking, or better to say, rather promissing, because semantics was intractable, so far. There's a lot of exiting development in NLP, of course. Categorical Semantics gives it an algeabric underpinning ... so the whole thing ties back in with the featured article.
Can anyone who has used both give an impression of how PhysX compares to Bullet?
Generally, you place a thermal "fruit wall" poleward of the plants you wish to protect. In winter, the wall absorbs some sunlight, and reflects some onto the plants, while re-radiating heat. The exact angle is determined by prevailing wind direction. The roots get a thick blanket of mulch.

If you have enough money, you can then stretch a roll of translucent plastic film from the top of the wall and stake it out to form a lean-to. Or, a light frame can eliminate the need for stakes. (If you're really rich, you can put glass panels in the frame.) Throw a straw blanket over the transparent layer at night, and dangit, now you have a greenhouse, which we were trying to avoid doing.

Building an entire field's worth of Chinese-style thermal-wall greenhouses is really cheap, relatively speaking. An unmortared wall made of interlocking compressed-earth blocks will last at least a few years. (Obviously, growing only plants that can survive the local climate without any assistance is cheapest--you just plant the seeds and wait.) Tunneling is a large capital expense. Collapse/subsidence prevention, pumping, and tunnel air management are large ongoing operating expenses. The cost to heat and cool a tunnel, on the other hand, is nearly zero. The greenhouse might need a pile of compost in it to keep it warm enough.

It was a hack because it depended on the refresh cycle of old CRT displays. The electron gun scanned across each horizontal line from top to bottom. The video chip could use interrupts to switch resolution in the middle of the vertical refresh cycle. The same trick wouldn't work with a modern LCD display.
