Business travel by airplane is extremely common. The fluidity of face-to-face communication aids cooperative work in a way that hasn’t yet been duplicated at scale, despite many efforts to date.

That’s part of what VR aims to disrupt and achieve.
That's PR, projected reality. With AR you don't actually project anything into the physical world that can be eg observed by unaided eyesight.

No, that was a "separate internal document" that claimed that, it wasn't in the guest logs.

As far as the photo, I don't recall anyone saying there was a photo, only that a witness claims they saw Manafort.

> * Countries cannot claim a nuclear weapons research program is really a nuclear fusion power research program, like they can with a nuclear fission power research program.

Weapons are a physics problem, where you're trying to direct large amounts of energy at unwilling recipients. Nukes are so effective and so feared because they carry a huge amount of energy in a relatively small package. Being able to, as you put it, "generate several orders of magnitude" more energy will almost certainly result in new, better or more destructive weapon systems being devised.
Two thoughts, based on evaluating remote collaboration tech.

1) Writing on virtual whiteboard in VR just doesn't feel right, there's no tactile feedback. It's doable but doesn't beat a real whiteboard (nothing beats a real whiteboard)

2) Observe people working at a whiteboard. It's predominantly an asynchronous one to many form of communication. Multiple people writing on the same board at the same time isn't how we communicate with each other.

The best in class tool I've found to date is Microsoft's Whiteboard app running on their 84" Surface Hub. Anyone who has the budget I highly recommend taking a look at it.

Any organization dedicated to publishing leaks can be used by any state to push its political propaganda. But that's the price of free speech. In a society that eshrines the right to free speech, unless you're sworn to secrecy, you're allowed to publish leaks, no matter what your motives, and no matter who those leaks help.
No, I hear people complaining about writing boilerplate by hand (Go), not knowing with libraries to use, incompatibilities between libraries or political discussions about what the standard library should be (Scheme).

There's a couple reasons why I think it would be bad if higher level headings would be considered more important. First, in HTML, <h1> is the top heading which directly maps to

= heading

If you were to do it the other way around, there's no easy way to know which would would map to h1

======= this?

============= this?

The second reason why is because you have to have a baseline of maximum-importance. It's like ticket priorities capping out at P0 for maximum priority. The first intuitive thought would be that P5 should be more important than P0, but if you don't set a baseline of maximum importance, then there will always be someone who feels their thing is slightly more important.

========== Top level heading

=========== Super top level heading

============== Extra super top level heading deluxe
This is why I'm so happy about Bazel lately! It cleanly solves a number of tooling pain points for me:
- Cross-platform builds mostly "just work"
- Package management, while not painless, is a tractable problem. You can teach your build how to incorporate libraries from tarballs, local filesystem, git repositories, et.
- Support for common toolchains (gcc, clang, msvc, android, ios) is built-in!

After the hellscape that is CMakeLists.txt, Bazel is such a breath of fresh air. I'd encourage anyone looking at C++ for new projects to give it serious consideration.
That's like saying that all programmers have to do is make the program and not make any bugs ;)

The how is the important part!

Minecraft in VR is still one of the most immersive experiences I've had with it-- I wouldn't hesitate to pull that out on a plane, or just about anywhere else I'm stuck sitting for a while and want to shut out the world. I believe John Carmack also made comments about finding it rather compelling.

> popular languages are simpler because they stop at basic abstractions (e.g. C and Forth) or because they trade performance for elegance (e.g. C# and to a higher degree Python and Smalltalk).

I'm not convinced. C++ offers some abstractions but is also missing some quite basic ones (no sum types, no true parametric polymorphism, polymorphic code can only be typechecked once fully expanded). ML-family languages offer substantially better abstractions at minimal performance cost or, in the case of Rust, no cost. Even for GCed languages my experience is that at practical levels of developer effort C++'s high performance on benchmarks is outweighed by the language complexity burden (e.g. Haskell code that solved the same problem as C++ code was not only shorter and more maintainable but also substantially faster; no doubt if we'd carefully hand-optimized every line of the C++ it could have achieved higher performance, but even unoptimized C++ took much longer to write than the Haskell solution).

> C++ does more at a higher cost, and in recent standard updates the cost has been steadily decreasing.

The big cost is the complexity of the language, and since the language rarely if ever removes anything standard updates usually add to that rather than reducing it.
Are you based in the US? Can’t say much about that then but if you’d be in Germany I would advise you to pick a craft like heating technician (Heizungsbauer), electrician or plumber: Due to the demographic change and the government efforts pushing more and more people to study instead of doing an apprenticeship there are fewer and fewer qualified people around that are able to fix our heating, plumbing or wiring. In Germany (and many other countries) these areas are also regulated so if you made it through your apprenticeship you are somewhat protected from too much competition, which is a nice advantage to e.g. being a programmer where everyone with a computer and some coding skills can compete with you. Also, heating systems and electric appliances are not going away anytime soon and they regularly break, so you have pretty much guaranteed business.

I’ve heard from many friends that have extreme difficulty finding someone to e.g. redo their roof or tile their floor as most professionals can just afford to wait for large, extremely lucrative jobs instead due to the high demand overhang. Single gigs can be in the ballpark of 50 to 100 thousand €, with hourly rates in excess of 100 € not being uncommon. Easily beats the going rate for developers here (which is around 80 € / hour).
Indeed, but not enough unfortunately

Azure Repos likely will remain competitive, at least in the near term, with GitHub simply for its "by default" integration with the rest of DevOps (versus GitHub's opt-in to the rest of DevOps), and easy hooks into corporate SSO and billing (Office 365). It will be interesting to see what happens with Azure Repos in the longer term.

> I see the original exclusion of empathy and emotion from the decision-making process as irrational.

This is because you're reifying rationality onto past events, conflating correct with rational. When she made the decision to stop, she didn't have a rational basis to make that decision, rational means you can connect a decision to logic. She didn't discover that logic, those reasons, until a full year later. That's when she finally had all the pieces.

> doesn't require committing to a particular version of the truth and rejecting all others as false.

This is a non-sequitur. Whatever you choose is going to have consequences. The very course of action is what does the rejection of all the other forms of looking at it, not your mindset. Your actions belie what you consider to be important.

> When one is actually ignorant, admitting ignorance is the rational choice; proceeding as if one were not ignorant (for example, by choosing one version of the truth over another when there is nothing to distinguish them) would be the hallmark of an irrational mindset, not an "over-rational" one.

What if you don't even know what you're ignorant of or that you are in fact ignorant? This is how this ties back to money, job, marriage. You can have these things, and be happy, or you can have these things, and be unhappy. I'm arguing that the reasons why you chase them are important, and you have to make the decision anyway.

If you are comfortable with irrational ways of gathering information, like listening to your gut, then you're way better off than trying to force rational ones.

So is your next argument going to be that "going by your gut" is a rational approach?

This is probably an unpopular opinion, and I'd want to think this through more, but I've been feeling recently that libel laws in the U.S. ought to be stronger. We have a massive problem with propagandists (especially on the right, but also the left) using blatant lies to manipulate opinion. The net result is a huge amount of anger & distrust.

The media is a mess. Even mainstream outlets like Fox routinely lie to their viewers. Other countries with stronger libel laws (like the UK) don't have nearly as bad a problem, and I can't help but feel like it's related. Obviously the UK has its own issues but it feels much saner to me.

In this case, accusing a specific police officer of being corrupt with zero evidence IS an awful thing to do. It's different from saying that a department is corrupt, etc. There are tons of examples of police abusing their power but this just doesn't seem like one.

Note that the standard for criminal libel requires the person to know they are lying, and that has to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
It seems to get into the impossibility of such a law being at the discretion of law enforcement.

Should he be arrested at the next NH primary for his knowingly false statements and their relationship to an actual bomb threat? Probably not, so probably this law is illegal.

Oh, dear. Here goes more karma.

The veneer of innovation over the monopolies of the FAANG companies is pretty thin on most days, but VR and AR are two things that cause my suspension of disbelief to collapse entirely. Can I get up to pee while "immersed" in VR? Can I find my popcorn? Does anybody realize that the AR demos online are showing phone screens, and not the reality that you will see without a screen in front of you? (On some level, on that last, they do. But the hype seems built upon an off-by-one error in representation.)

We are no longer in an age of innovation and disruption with regard to the Internet. It has been thoroughly colonized, and any innovation will be bought by one of the big fish, in order to prevent the disruption of fairly lucrative relative monopolies that face no, or only the most glacial, threats from commoditization. VR is not it. AR is not it. From here on out, it's ML to try to improve on k-nearest-neighbor with k==1 to drive recommendation engines.

Much like the Moon Program propaganda informs outmoded (what I regret to call) virtue signaling around STEM, propaganda from the era of the rise of the FAANG group drives the same among ink-spillers around The Next Big Disruptive Innovation.

Here's a hint: Whatever the next disruptive thing is, it's not going to come to you via TechCrunch relaying Andreesen's ravings about which thing is bigger than what. If it happens at all. It's entirely possible that nothing will rise from the ashes of Facebook, for example.
There are more issues

1 the right tutorial, instruction may not be on top on my search engine, a few months old instructions are too old

2 the create app thing uses tons of "magic", it encourage people not to understand how things work, all is fine until something breaks... here is an issue we hit at work

We have a project that uses gulp(the project is old, I did not started it so don't blame me if gulp is not the state of the art today). One dev added an uglify step to gulp and now the gulp watch t process entered in an infinite loop, I as the one with the most experience I worked on figuring it out, since the uglify step causes the issue I investigate this(I discover that some gulp modules the project uses are obsoleted because a cooler/better one was created but I did not started on upgrading the tools), I read on uglify, it's dependencies, I read on watch it's dependencies, read how it is implemented under the hood and in the end I realize that uhe uglify hstep had the side effect of making the process longer (I suspected that some temp files would be created or other things) but this extra seconds triggered an existing issue in our configuration file, the watch task was watching the output min files but it never triggered before because of a timeout it has(or something similar). In the end I ended up looking under the hood of this magic tools because a dev setup a .json config file wrong but the issue did not manifest until years later.

Conclusion is that magic tools work fine until they do not , then you have to look under the hood or try the reboot,update,change the tool and maybe it is fixed

For tomorrow I need to investigate why npm install package fails to install a package dependencies on a CentOS server, I read that there were some bugs and probably the fixes were not backported and I will have to mess around and understand what is the problem and fix it somehow.
I'm assuming MS knows enough not to break existing integrations, but they could build in a direction such that Azure-based stuff becomes a "first, best" integration with GitHub.

Given that there are 300+ million people in the U.S. and it isn’t feasible for all of them to live off the land it’s good that we organize ourselves into a society. The structure for this organizing is government and society’s wishes are in principle reflected by the laws enacted by government. We all live in communities and it’s in everyone’s interests that certain standards are upheld. Society is right to enforce standards of care.
We spend on military to protect our economic and imperial interests abroad, and no other reason.

Sure, but certain programming techniques become impractical without garbage collection, and a general purpose programmer would be expected to be familiar with those techniques. E.g. C++ programmers tend to just not learn graph-based models/techniques because they're not a practical way of working in C++.
If only people who are happy would shut up enjoy their happiness without telling the world. Okay you can tell your wife and brother but leave the rest of us out of it. I think this creates pressure on the rest of us to emulate you to be as happy as you or even worse some people fake happiness and this makes situation even worse because we are chasing fake happiness.
All parties involved were microtargetting, no? The Trump side certainly was, what with all that Cambridge Analytical shit and whatnot.

How much did Trump and similar non-Russian PACs spend on microtargetted facebook ads, compared to Russian intelligence? Your article contains no hint of this. I think we're all aware that Russian intelligence was buying a lot of ads on social media, but I'm trying to understand the relative scope of this. To be frank, the scope of Russian propaganda seems dwarfed by domestic propaganda. The propagandists who deserve the most blame are probably Americans, or were paid by Americans.

The OP is probably referring to the state legislature, the governor, and people appointed by the governor.

The state government is controlled by Republicans and though not all Republicans "hate" every aspect of the government, a large contingent of party could be accurately described as hating government involvement in areas they don't agree with--like welfare, disability, healthcare etc...

The leader of the party has explicitly advocated for allowing and encouraging the current healthcare system (the ACA) to implode, so that he can replace it with something else. He also placed people in charge of departments who explicitly stated that such departments shouldn't exist.
The cost of capital for the mortgage was reasonably low, and my expectation is that it will approach 0% real interest rates in the near future. Therefore it doesn't make sense to me to pay it off when I would be essentially paying 0% in real rates for the mortgage. I could be wrong but I'd rather have a below 4% interest rate when rates are between 5 and 6%

Ah thanks for clarifying.
VR Chat is one of the "killer apps" of VR. That and Beat Saber, I guess.

I think a "serious" telepresence application would be good. VR Chat is a meme-haven / non-serious location for now. But... there's that good YCombinator blogpost about non-serious apps: https://blog.ycombinator.com/why-toys/

It really does seem like VR Chat (as immature and silly as it is...) is a killer app. How to grow it into a serious application is still a major mystery to me, but I'd bet on VR Chat (or at least its successor that fixes its issues) to be a driving use of VR.

History? Curiosity? Some of them might contain interesting recipes? Some cookbooks might've been written in an interesting style? Some books might be able to give clues about miscellaneous uncertainties about the everyday life of people around that time? Or if not their life, perhaps they might shine light on how certain tools were used in ways we don't know? Perhaps some words used in these books are useful for linguists? Maybe we'll uncover some hidden etymologies.

> That said, my understanding is that you are committed to Linux, you still get a more robust OpenGL implementation (ATI used to be buggy as sin) and better shader performance with Nvidia hardware/software.

That's probably true, if your use case requires the absolute best GPU performance. For me, though, the Intel and AMD open source drivers have gotten good enough that the marginal improvements possible with proprietary drivers simply aren't worth the hassle. At least with AMD you are free to choose between Mesa and Catalyst, and can be assured of a decent experience either way. If you opt for nVidia hardware you're effectively locked in to their proprietary driver if you want to use even half of your GPU's capabilities.

It helps that Intel and AMD and all the non-PC Mesa drivers share common infrastructure, so improvements to one driver tend to enhance the entire ecosystem—except nVidia. As you noted, the situation is changing rapidly; I think it won't be much longer before nVidia's proprietary drivers forfeit whatever performance advantage they have left to the combined efforts of the open source community.
Yes, but who are these people and what are they doing when they travel?

VR is just a video conference call on steroids. Business travel is 'common' but relative to the rest of productive output at an average business it's peanuts. Also what portion of those business travelers absolutely need to be there. Would you buy from (a) a salesperson who took the time to travel to your workplace or (b) some telepresence pitch?
This is one of my favorite features, too. I've found it works amazing when you generate the documentation or render it locally. Unfortunately, it doesn't work in "safe" mode sites like GitHub or GitLab where having a lightweight include feature for samples or tests would be useful.

For macros in AsciiDoc, I've made do with the little bit of support mentioned at https://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#pass-macros .
