Not closely related, but this made me think of another fascinating aspect of localisation.

In places like Australia and America, if you have a group of people and you’re going round them (e.g. reading in turns or playing various card games), you’d be more likely to go clockwise from on top rather than counter-clockwise.

But in India, they naturally go counter-clockwise from on top rather than clockwise, and I once saw someone playing a game of hearts on a phone there, and it was going counter-clockwise.

Localisation definitely entails more than just translating strings. Layout and functionality changes can be involved.

It covers data for EU/EEA citizens and residents data held by companies “doing business” with people in such areas. An off the top of my head example. An Australian citizen who has never been to the EU can not use the GRPR against Microsoft just because MS have a office in the EU.

Edit: My bad, I think the Australian would be under the Dublin office in the slack case. But the GDPR rules are focused on data of EEA/EU residents/citizens and not (always) data of people outside of the EEA/EU collected by companies within the EEA/EU.

It's mostly claims and organizations raising money for battery reasearch. I've seen lots of such claims for liquid electrolyte zinc or aliminium based flow batteries, but so far little seems to have materialized.

Also battery performance degrades drastically at low temperature, so battery powered EVs are not such a great option in chillier areas.

So far we are still running on battery tech first developed in the '70s with the first battery developed in the early '90s.

Unfortunate name collision with the excellent mu editor for python. I wish people would Google the name of the product they're launching before launching it.
It's more about estimating the edges, and that the underlying depth estimate is always going to be noisy and approximate. For example, the Pixel 3 does something similar for Portrait mode [1].

Don't most modern real-time DOF techniques rely on some sort of G-buffer with primitive IDs? In the article it explicitly says they wanted to just work with RGBZ so that existing titles can just be post-process blurred.

Finally, I think the time required is probably closer to 50ms per frame per GPU. If you assume that the content was running at about 60 fps (16ms/frame) on a single GPU, and linearly sped up via magic to 240 fps (4 and change ms), then the delta to 60 fps is 12 ms across four GPUs or about 48 ms on a single GPU.

I'm confused by the implication that someone doing things like the above would be writing in SQL. SQL is a little like assembly language in a game: You may need to drop down to it for some key highly-optimized areas, but you rarely need to directly use it for most tasks. While it's true that you should understand how it works so you don't generate queries that suck performance-wise, the same goes for Mongo's intricacies too.

Every language I know of has great ORMs which do this for whatever SQL flavors people tend to use on that platform. I write things like this all the time, and it gets turned into SQL for Postgres:

````
Article.where(author_id: 37).order(:modified_date, :desc).where.not(published: false)
````

When using an ORM correctly (and indeed, the less I'm using any of my own bits of SQL the more this is true) I am also protected against injection attacks.

I'm not saying NoSQL has no value, but I believe it to be the wrong tool for data that lends itself to an RDBMS. If you have a bunch of documents who have deeply nested or inconsistent structures and where it makes no sense that you'd want to query by something other than the primary key, sure, it's a no-brainer to use a NoSQL system. For a CMS, which has been implemented thousands of times in RDBMSs, it is madness though. I cringe at realizing that apaprently there are developers out there who have avoided learning SQL entirely in their career out of fear, and as a result have to use Mongo for every application because that's the only thing they know how to do. I'm sure they're out there, but I wouldn't hire one.

It most definitely means banning private insurance (not private care). Thats why its "single". IT has to, because otherwise it would have to compete on the market as any other plan, and it would fail because all private insurance would dump the expensive patients on to medicare, which will need to either increase prices or increase taxes to survive.

Plus the whole point is to eliminate dealing with the adminsitrative burden of claims and billing. IF you just add another insurance, you just make it worse.

That's an interesting and well-curated list!

Yup. Mickey == Disney, it's pretty much a brand symbol. Nobody is going to touch that.

Winnie the Pooh... I didn't know until now that it's even associated with Disney in any way. I grew up reading & watching it as a kid, and even this year I saw Christopher Robin in the cinema (I must have mentally tuned out Disney logo at the beginning). Point being, it's a franchise now, and it still sells like hot cakes, to adults. All the adult friends I know have a sentiment to Winnie the Pooh, and are - or are going to - show it to their kids.

Not surprised Disney would want to protect that.

This article reminds me why I cancelled my Economist subscription years ago. But gotta love the obligatory shout out to Richard Florida that pops up whenever the media covers the tech sector in Canada!

Question: If there will supposedly be 200,000 tech vacancies in Canada by 2020, why are tech salaries in Canada so low compared to the US?

Another question: If the Canadian government is serious about developing the high tech sector, why doesn't it reform the absurdly overpriced telecoms oligopoly? See e.g. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/low-cost-data-crtc-1.494942... that reports on the imminent introduction of $30/month for 1 GB of wireless data as "low-cost" with a straight face. That's literally 10X what I pay here in Australia (https://www.optus.com.au/shop/broadband/mobile-broadband/dat...) never mind what it costs in Europe!

I think the primary reason Canadian policymakers want to juice immigration to Canada is to delay the real estate bubble from popping on their watch...
Porting an existing code base to a new platform? This is how we did it
I call bullshit. The horizon is only about 3 miles away.
It could be an application frontend interfacing with a webservice or network service. That component handles the database. That could make implementations clean for migration from on-prem to cloud, or if you're ripping out the frontend stack semi-regularly as more web-oriented devs may do more often. I can't say I disagree, and moving an application to this model myself so that I can easily migrate it from a WinForms frontend to Blazor SPA at some point.

This seems like a bit misguided article. Filter is not the issue, it does recognize samples and whatnot. Issue is how YouTube allows the system to be abused. There are people making careers around just claiming videos. As article points out YT says they don't have anything to do with it but they give authors revenue to someone who claimed video without claimer needing to prove he owns the copyright.
I'm sure there's a lot of legal issues and such that directed YT to this path but on the other hand they don't show much interest to the community for making it more benevolent. They are dropping it like it's hot: "We made a system, we don't control it". Doesn't make much sense.

I guess it is not all that different from Python, with Python you need to add the source path to PYTHONPATH / sys.path (and often do so at runtime in the entrypoint script). With go you need the "src/github.com/dagss" prefix to the path. Or at least, according to conventions. You are right that it is more similar on a technical level than what I thought.

My memories of thermodynamics theory are old and full of gaps, but from what I remember both steps, if performed at "normal” temperatures, necessarily produce a waste of energy. The first step, i.e. using electricity to drive a heat pump, is efficient only if the temperature differential between the cold body and the hot one is small. On the other side, conversion of thermal energy into electricity is efficient only if the temperature differential is large. How does Malta overcome this problem?

> it seems to be common knowledge in the startup community( and everywhere else? ) that a recession is just around the corner.

Is it based on gut feeling or something else? Because there has been talk of recession since the last recession. People talking about how the last recession is going to become bigger and bigger.

And while stock and other assets form the bigger outer picture where people can see the recession that is not the complete picture. One of the biggest things happens during recession is risk aversion.

So, people stop investing in risky assets like stocks and riskier stuff like equity in startups are worse off. This has a knock on effect where companies have less money to spend on stuff. So, they cut down on spending which then affects projects, jobs etc.

That said, we don't really have a strict metric to actually gauge if recession has arrived. Some believe in looking at oil prices while others at fiscal deficits.

I personally believe in Michael Burry's (from The Big Short) interpretation of recession. In his 2006 letter he said:

Take (the company) Nordstrom, a higher-end
retailer benefiting from most every macro trend
today. Its 11,5% pre-tax margin in 2005 surpassed
10% for the first time since the company went
public in 1971, and its margins rose from 1,5% to
greater than 7% in the last four years. Net income
is five times what it was in 2001, and return on
equity rose nearly fourfold. Similar stories abound,
though not necessarily to all to this degree.
If this is not a peak in a dramatic debt-fueled
economic boom, well, it certainly looks like one.

We are seeing something similar happen right now. But it certainly doesn't mean that recession is just around the corner, rather it is slowly coming.
Indeed, the tech world seems to be full of people totally oblivious to branding - anything that's short and snappy and sounds vaguely familiar is 'great', no matter the real world or rest of the world.

The RFE had the below questions (don't remember exact wording):

Q1: H1B is for speciality occupation, for which a bachelors degree is a minimum requirement. Justify how your current position require a bachelors degree.

My comment: I asked the end customer manager. Bachelors degree was the minimum requirement for my position.

Q2. List out your daily roles at work. Justify how a bachelors degree is needed for each.

My comment: How many of us are actually doing anything that we learned in college?

Q3. The project duration is only for 1 year. Why did you ask for a 3 year extension?

My comment: We have been working with this customer for more than 8 years. They issue yearly project orders for that financial year. They don't issue PO for more than a year.

There were 2 more questions that were similar in nature to Q2. Even though my employer had a team of attorneys, they asked me prepare a response to these questions. I sent it to my employer, not sure if they modified it.

The H1B visa is mostly a cheap worker program. There are definitely high skilled H1Bs coming to America, but the overwhelming majority are meant to undercut American labor, and this is not just on salary, but also on the number of hours they are willing to work, the projects they are willing to take on, and the benefits they get. This idea that the immigration situation in this country is anything different needs to stop.

I don’t believe copyright should be abolished, I believe an Author of a creative piece of work should have the right to protect their work and exploit it for profit how they see fit. I also don’t believe that copyright destroys culture.

But I will agree that the time limit on such copyrights has gotten out of control and should be rained in. Disney had and exploited the benifits of copyrighted works entering the public domain. It’s only fair (IMO) they allow others to have such benefits available to themselves too.
