As a New England resident with a very old detached garage, I, too, wish my Tesla was not so wide. Every single time I park in my garage (which can only be accomplished in reverse, while turning about 30°) it's mildly terrifying.
Presumably nothing's stopping you from putting a book of solutions and posting them online. It seems like a much easier task than writing this book, with all its problem sets, and then posting it online for free for the world to read.
>I suppose Baldur's Gate† (the first one and its later expansion, not the second one which I didn't enjoy nearly as much) and games like Fallout or The Elder Scrolls series spoiled me

I think this is really what happens. With more experience you are better able to deconstruct the building blocks in light of past experiences. Instead of a well crafted fire dungeon, someone can see the building blocks that could easily enough be repainted with poison theme or lightning theme. Much like when one reads enough fiction they notice the tropes the author is using as soon as the author introduces them, to the point that people begin to even joke about things like death flags being raised.
User facing open source software projects do take a lot of time to make new progress or even just refine what's there. When the primary audience is non-technical users, that provides a lot of surface area for people to complain without a comparatively large set of users who would likely transition from using to contributing. From watching things over the years in the open source audio domain I agree that donations/other-funding-mechanisms are really hard to get right in this space.
It sounds funny, though I've encountered some blank pages that were very resistant to being deleted, for example at the end of a document. It took me a lot of trial and error, and compromising on other design decisions (such as adjusting margins) to make it go away.

This is misinformation, and this particular strand of it seems to never die. There is an issue with unofficial 3rd party docks for Nintendo Switch causing issues. USB-C PD chargers work fine.
There is definitely something missing in the current management/employee relationship.

For example, the Wells Fargo account fraud issue. Where they had thousands of new accounts being opened without customer authorization. Caused by ratcheting sales mandates and mid level management pushing employees to open accounts fraudulently and firing those who objected. It showed an obvious lack of ability for the branch level employees to push back, and everyone involved being worse off for it. A more organized group of employees could have pushed back effectively and prevented a costly situation for Wells. This benefits more than just the workers. It's not like the shareholders were better off after having a bunch of fraudulent accounts opened to game sales metrics.

In my opinion there are many business instances where a small problem becomes a large one because acknowledging a small problem would offset this quarters goals, or embarrass someone who has enough authority to prevent acknowledging it.

This missing piece certainly looks union-shaped, but the problem is that any union strong enough to push back against bad policy is also strong enough to push back against good policy. Unions are also not immune to the same power dynamics where small problems can go unacknowledged.

Rather than rehash the 1930s, what would a well coordinated 21st century organization look like? One that resists small numbers of managers risking the business just to make a bonus target, or pad their resumes? Yet is also able to take advantage of new efficiencies and market opportunities without employee revolt. Are there existing models that work that we could grow to cover other industries?
I wonder about the possibility of porting to other architectures & operating systems supported by Go, like BSDs, Solaris/Illumos, AIX, Plan9, even WASM...
Your description portrays raymarching as an optimization over raytracing and that's simply not the case at all.

Raymarching enables rendering objects/scenes raytracing can't readily handle (like procedurally generated fractals), and tends to be costly because of how the ray must be "marched" towards the surfaces rather than directly computing intersections.

The only form of raytracing I'm familiar with that employs anything resembling raymarching is the classical 80s-era KD-tree acceleration structure paper which stepped the ray at hyperplane boundaries, to confine the costly ray->object interesection tests to objects in the intersected axis-aligned bounding boxes.
Absolutely, testing against bounding boxes is a quick way to exclude candidates and frustrum culling with an octree (or similar) also greatly speeds up intersection tests
Capital One | Many roles, Senior/Lead Engineer in particular | Wilmington DE and other locations | ONSITE | FULL TIME
We are looking for a lot of engineers at Capital One. I am a hiring manager for a couple roles in Wilmington DE in our bank side of the business. In particular I am looking for a lead or senior engineer with preferably some experience in search technologies and more backend engineering. Our current stack for this system is node.js, react, graphQL, elasticsearch, Postgres, all in AWS with push button deployment. This is a full stack role since in Capital One if you build it you own it.

We have a lot of open positions at Capital One and we are not your typical bank, our AWS footprint is impressive and how we have worked to operate as a technology first company in a regulated environment has been progressive. I am happy to talk about Capital One in general as well.

If Xerox had legitimately released this to the public, surely they would have changed the copyright notice.

As far as I can tell, this is simply pirated.

From http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks/ :

"I started to be fed up to see all the books I like to be out of print, so I started to contact authors and collect their old books. I would like to thanks them all and their publishers as well. If you know an author that is willing to give to the community a book, please give him my email."

I'm not sure that changes anything.
But the form factor of the 2-to-7 person car changes significantly with the shift to autonomous electric vehicles.

With computer control, you eliminate the gap needed between cars - just hook it directly to the car in front, let them draft for better aerodynamics, and detach when you need to make a turn, saving 70-100 feet of road space. With electric motors, you eliminate the hood, engine, and transmission, saving another 5 feet or so - independent electric motors can go directly onto the wheels. In an urban environment, electrify the streets (as with trolleys) and eliminate the battery pack - that's another 4 feet and 1200 pounds or so. Once everything moves to car services and people don't own their own cars, you can eliminate the trunk, saving another 4-5 feet - in the majority of trips you aren't carrying anything big, and you can hail a different model pod for those road trips or grocery runs where you need the cargo space (or just summon the groceries and forget about driving it yourself). For trips without the kids, eliminate the other seats as well - you can just summon a different vehicle when you need to take a family trip.

Pretty soon the vehicle is just a thin shell around its occupant, taking up no more room than the personal space they would've taken up on a bus.

How to Expand Your Business Globally Through Localisation
Offer a pro/paid account.

Mention your story, perhaps offer a few extra features if you’d like, and as other said you may want to offer hosting too (but that’s extra work/cost for you). My recommendation would be to just have one simple monthly price = easy y/n decision.

Some people will start paying, and talking to these you’ll figure out why, and how to convert more.

Check out how others are doing, on top of my head I can think of bitwarden (not affiliated).
When I last did some armchair thinking about transport modes my conclusion was only a little bit removed from parent's basic hypothesis, just with one critical detail: It's not that one mode will rule them all, it's that the friction of switching modes is likely to go further and further down until we have successfully "containerized" or "packet switched" transit.

So, instead of envisioning it as "5 minivans vs 1 bus", it's a system that smoothly transfers you from street to car to bus to train to plane and back. You get the "now" of low latency, and then you transfer up a step to get speed and efficiency.

Right now we have very primitive notions of multi-mode: every transfer is time consuming and difficult on the psyche, often involving new fare systems, security checks, navigating transfer points, delays, tolls, parking, and so on. This is a big factor in our tendency to bias towards a single mode and overbuild infrastructure for that mode.

Portable electrics are a big step forward in moving up the baseline: they're roughly person-sized without too much additional weight. An imagined standard for docking them in a larger vehicle or running them in a convoy is not too far-fetched, but will probably still take a lifetime to be realized with all the involved political factors.

>The article's idea of a "elite" is a person who relies on a car to get around. I find it unintentionally funny, as people who rely on transit in the US are either big city urban elites, or the poor stuck in crappy burbs with shitty mobility.

Well, if we look at an example, like the NYC metro area, we see that car-owners have a higher annual income on average than non-car-owners, regardless of whether they live in Manhattan, the outer boroughs, or the suburbs:

The last time this came up, many people said that the primary reason to buy a Tesla was for Autopilot, which I have not yet heard of another manufacturer with an equivalent product.

I think another advantage Tesla has is the Supercharger station access.

A small note: beside CLI MUAs there is another text-based but graphic-capable MUAs, those inside of Emacs, Notmuch in my case, and this one can really beat not only TB but also GMail, earlier not-so-crappy versions included.

Native CardDAV integration can come via KHard or other sources, CalDAV can be integrated with org-agenda, GNUPG while not native is really quick to add, search is at another level + tags & saved searches, automation is via external tools like afew and it can be (with a not so small works, unfortunately) really efficient, for instance I auto-archive pdf attachments of my monthly bills in a proper tree, with proper filenames and a note in the org-agenda.

The real problem is only that no one still do not package anything in a sole comprehensive software with a simple config. You have to make it yourself perhaps with the help of org-mode and a bit of extra scripting. A price not anyone is willing to pay but a real opportunity for ThunderBird IMO.

Everything is there, needs only integration for casual users.

Maybe it is a problem with Renault then. Go hang out in Leaf forums instead (and the Nissan Leaf doesn't even have a thermally managed battery).

I have one. I haven't lost a SINGLE capacity bar after 3 years (first year saw really heavy usage with multiple quick charges a week). Unless it decides to self-destruct after 5 years, I would expect it to last a while.

Yes, they lose maximum capacity over time. Very slowly. They still work. This is not a phone or laptop.

Battery degradation is less a function of age and more of thermal management, depth of discharge, and number of cycles. Along with more durable battery design, these variables can be managed through better thermal management and more conservative battery use. Durability of EV batteries has improved in leaps and bounds in recent years.
No, because copyright law doesn't care what the copyright date says, or even if you write it at all.

As soon as you write something, you have the copyright to what you wrote. If it was challenged in court, he would likely easily be able to show his drafts from prior to 12/29/2018 to prove he was the author.

I would really like to have something like that, but we currently lack a baseline curriculum that defines this "base level of quality". Stuff that won't change over the course of a programmer's career. Most conventional wisdoms in our craft are little more than fads at this point. Just look at how many colleges teach object-oriented programming with Java, while many professionals declare OOP dead, a thing of the past, only to be found in legacy monstrosities.

Looks like it's using GLSL 400 shaders so I don't think it would work for wasm unfortunately. Not sure how many non-WebGL features it's using though. Might be straight-forward to port.

So it's obviously fake.

But no one on HN can find a link to how/what the fake bit is? Did it even open for instance?
