I use an 8" Windows 10 tablet with a USB hub and random keyboards and mice. There's always a keyboard and a mouse somewhere in the data center. If not, I have my bluetooth keyboard with a touchpad. I have it configured with all necessary tools. It works great as a Cisco console.

Oh yeah, it cost me $48 at Fry's. I have two of them. Battery life is more than 5 hours.
I'm surprised there isn't actual CAD software for VR yet.

When I tried tiltbrush for the first time I was immediately struck by how easy it was to create some things, but how much of a pain it was to modify things, or make things like parallel lines or surfaces.

Maybe everyone is waiting for someone else to do it. Even the linked software (gravity sketch) seems to be missing constraints, dimensions, and snaps, though it has control points so modification of existing geometry is at least possible.

What gives?
Why not?
I mean this companies already have many parts of the car designed and built by third parties, there is no need to have everything designed and built by themselves.

So if you have 3 big companies collaborating you will have more money and maybe more important more training data for the self driving program. Now Uber,Tesla and Google do not share their data(probably the data is not compatible either) but if this data was shared progress could have been faster and lives could have been saved.

A beginner might be put off using React because they don't understand a blog post about it written by a core contributor. Dan recognised that and added a warning to help those people not be dissuaded. That's basic, friendly writing.

Your complaint about it makes it look like you believe the post was written for you personally, with no regard for the wider audience. That's idiotic.
Even if you can't afford to buy a second new car immediately, you could still roll with a cheap used car for a while.

For anyone interested in generating diagrams from text, I recommend also taking a look at Graphviz[1] and PlantUML[2]. Graphviz excels at box-and-arrow kind of diagrams as well as graphs, I frequently use it to visually map out dependencies, processes and state transitions, etc. There's an online version here[3]. PlantUML I use less, both because it's slower (you pay the JVM startup tax on every invocation) and because I have less use for the kind of diagrams it specializes in.

He's... not wrong. But it's important to realize that rule of law is an Anglo legal and cultural invention. Rule by humans is the default, 'natural' way of organizing human behavior, and innovations over that have to be iterated slowly. We simply cannot expect Western philosophical concepts, as great as they are, to simply be transplantable in other parts of the world just cuz it worked so great for us.

Or does Mr. Weiwei expect the Chinese Communist Party to willfully give up power in order to put itself under a legal regime?

Even Europe has moving slowly away from rule of law towards rule by international technocratic bureaucracy, borne out of the need to make a historically extremely heterogenous landmass peaceful. The UK was never going to be part of that tribe, it's fine with its rule of law.
It is well known that it does not work.

Someone want to share a tl;dr?
The issue seems to be that it's nearly impossible to find human reviewers and a lot of the system is designed around lying to you about it. Someone made a video about a year ago about this, but even if you request manual reviews and reply to their emails, you consistently just get emails from YouTube that are automated bots, disguised to seem like humans: the emails have a name in them, the reply period is randomised, etc.

Even people with millions of subscribers are not immune to this, in fact they often have to hope their fans can cause a big enough mess on Twitter in large enough numbers for YouTube to notice and suddenly all those "manually confirmed" copyright flags disappear.

Even bigger of an insult to injury is that there are clearly corporate YouTube accounts that are above this system, the accounts of Kimmel, Trevor Noah, etc are immune to any of these.

And it's not just copyright, but monetisation, too.

disagree, some small size NP-hard problems can be solved in practise.

or, given enough effort / luck / redefining the problem, sometimes extra structure can be found for the particular problem instances that you want to solve, meaning that they actually belong to an easier problem class that can be solved in practise -- e.g. you've got extra information or constraints that you're not actually using, so you don't need to solve the NP-hard problem in general, just solve the specific problem you've got.

i'll willing to change my position if someone can argue it is similar for undecidable problems.
I know nothing about React. I opened this article, saw the disclaimer and closed the tab. It’s quite possible that if I hadn’t read the disclaimer I might have tried to read it, decided React is waaaay to complicated for me to learn and never tried it in the future. I think Dan wants to avoid precisely that scenario - scaring away noobs like me from ever trying React.

Of course, he didn’t consider the massive inconvenience he was causing to god level programmers like you when writing his disclaimer. Shame on him!!!
And Penrose diagrams (tensor networks) became a prominent example of String Diagram in the monoidal category of vector spaces over a field.
Yawn.

OK, I gotta recycle this from John Markoff:[0]

> "True Names" by Vernor Vinge (1981): "The basic premise of that was, you had to basically hide your true name at all costs. It was an insight into the world we’re living in today … We have to figure it out. I think we have to go to pseudonymity or something. You’re gonna participate in this networked existence, you have to be connected to meatspace in some way."

Indeed. At least pseudonymity.

We need to compartmentalize. In meatspace, we must be totally unremarkable. We must make only routine communications, for entirely utilitarian purposes.

Everything even vaguely sensitive -- that is, everything that we want kept private -- must use secure channels. And if it's truly sensitive, it must be ~anonymous. With the degree of anonymity proportional to the level of sensitivity.

I see no other option.

Well sure. Intel much preferred Itanium to succeed. Absent AMD, it’s possuble Itanium would have muddled through in the end. (Or something completely different would have played out.)

it’s safe to say that Intel has some sort of contingency plan going back quite a while. Some analysts even thought they saw features in Pentium that suggested 64-bit readiness.

But it wasn’t until Opteron’s success and its adoption by esp. HP and Dell that Intel felt they needed to make their 64 bit extensions plan public.

There's got to be more to it than that. The halting problem itself isn't some on-off switch, it can be studied and broken down into different problem classes, some of which are indeed decidable.

It's just impossible to write a general-purpose algorithm to solve it in all cases.

The thing brands get most excited about is "spontaneous" or "unprompted" awareness. E.g., I ask you a question such as "Thinking about womenswear retailers, which names come to mind?"

Brands want to appear on that list of names, and the closer to the top ("top of mind") the better. Of course, for most brands the aspiration to be top of mind is ludicrous since there can be only one. For UK womenswear that one is Next and, barring the company suddenly going under (possible but not likely), it ain't changing any time soon.

Prompted awareness, when you're presented with a list of brands and asked a question to elicit your awareness of them, is much less valuable because if you see anything often enough on the high street you're going to remember it when prompted.
While they are surely no leading innovators in deep learning saying they are not tech companies is a bit ridiculous, as they innovate in many areas of technology. Sure, VW and Daimler don’t produce their own chips (as far as I’m aware) as they rely on partners like Bosch to do it for them. Bosch sensors and ICs are found in many devices btw (even iPhones I think). So I’d argue there’s plenty of innovation here, just nothing that is very visible for most folks in “tech”. Btw Tesla’s cars use electronic and mechanical parts from around 40 different German suppliers if I remember correctly.
SOWISO | E-learning platform for Math & Science | Amsterdam | ONSITE only | FULL-TIME
SOWISO is a flat and informal organization. You will immediately get a lot of responsibility and trust. Therefore, we expect you to be able to work independently, but also to be a team player.

You'll work with PHP (MVC), MySQL and JQuery, but also expect to see Linux/bash, AWS, CI (Jenkins, GitLab), Puppet, webpack, Babel, npm etc.

Would you like to join us in creating our interactive software? Are you challenged by developing a innovative online learning platform? And are you ready to join a small company? Then get int touch via info@sowiso.com with subject 'software developer'.
Uber is already doing buses in LatAm and MENA. Most North American cities (except NYC really) just don’t have the density to make the unit economics work for a marketplace with buses. Also, Express POOL (shared ride with walking in order to make the trip more efficient) is already dirt cheap.
It's incremental. The companies covered by the EU's GDPR are untimately comprised of people too. It's easiest to start with a subset, and the GDPR is no exception to that rule.

Ya lost me on the reporting to the mothership thing, that is definately what many power centers would like, for example, non-DRM 3D printers that can cheaply print metal objects will be reserved for criminals in countries controlled by repressive regimes because they can make effective life saving tools.
React is not MVC.

I mean, for a start, no 2 MVC frameworks actually agree on how to pass data around.

React is just the V.
I was with you until the past sentence, which seems unsubstantiated. VueJS, at least, uses a similar virtual dom rendering concept. I find Vue's API much more natural than React's, but that's unrelated to their internal implementations. Can you provide further detail?
...they are already working together on so many things, like lobbying and screwing the environment with their diesels.

I also think it’s a really great idea to use a declarative approach sprinkled with imperative code for logic. Combined with the smart diffing of a component tree this is really quite powerful and also easy to grasp for most developers at the same time.
Imagine if all the car companies were competing against eachother on tech for brakes, seatbelts or how a steering wheel works.

Or Boeing and Airbus competing on fundamental safety aspects of flight.

Self driving should be a singular science with canonical baseline requirements and standards to how it should function and interact/react to the human environment.

So - this shouldn't be "news" - it should be the requirement to even play in the space.
Nobody who is sane uses deep reinforcement learning for autonomous vehicles, far too dangerous. Remember, the first 99% is easy, it's the last .999% that's hard.
I know all that. I don't trust reviews, because >90% of them are advertorials. You can often detect that by searching for key phrases, and then finding them in press releases.

I don 't close my eyes outside, no. But I do trash ads, whenever I can. Back in the hardcore days, I carried stickers with moisture-catalyzed adhesive. Once those suckers cured, sand-blasting was the only option. Now I just carry black markers ;)

So far the Homebrew experience has been better for me than any other Linux distribution's package manager, except for Arch, which is still unparalleled. The biggest problem of Homebrew is how incredibly slow it is, though I guess this will stay for a long time unless a fundamental overhaul takes place.
Seattle's waterfront is a bit different from Boston's but the Big Dig which was a much more complicated predecessor of this project was well worth it. I have been very critical of the Rose Kennedy Greenway for a variety of reasons but it is so much better than the hulking monster that was the Central Artery.
A big reason for this is probably to ease the way to government regulations. Germany is very strict on these regulations and compared to, e.g. Arizona, reluctant to give experimental technology a pass for the street. If they pull on the same string, they have a much better chance to lobby for the required legislation to actually test and finally sell their self-driving technology in the important domestic market.
Backing up sensitive stuff is an art in itself. You have to make sure the data is not accessible by the wrong person, but also that the key or password to access to the backup is itself backed up or distributed.
That's a very narrow definition of tech companies. I wouldn't be surprised if VW, BMW and Daimler together employ more software engineers than Google or Apple. Don't forget that modern cars use over a hundred micro-controllers.
We apologize for the SelfDryv experience disruption experienced by some[0] customers earlier this week[1].

We have issued a fix[4] and offer 5 miles credits to any customer who was effected.

[3] Turns out part of the car's A/C UI dynamically fetches JavaScript on startup and our outage stopped serving JS, so A/C module failed to load. The worker thread that spawns the rest of the car's functionality freezes if the A/C module fails to respond. I guess we never tested that, I mean our internal network is pretty reliable, you know?

[4] We moved the JavaScript to a CDN so that means 100% availability. Presumably eventually we'll rewrite the entire client stack anyway thus implicitly killing this horrible dependency.
The data presented by the Transit app matched neither the published timetables nor reality. If memory serves it was marked as real-time data. My assumption is that Transit was using their bullshit "crowd sourced" algorithm.

Plenty of of agencies publish bogus data (e.g.: Muni has predictions for outbound train service even when a train will be taken out of service at the end of the line, as a result only the second to last prediction for the night is valid). This was Transit being useless.

Maybe. But what if it turns out that everything other than the core intelligence, communication and software platform features turn out to be low margin components?

What if these key functions turn out to be the only differentiator of any substance and the rest is just marketing blurb and a bit of component assembly?

There is a middle ground. Universal data interchange formats but sandboxed on a per directory/app level. Imagine how easy it is to do docker run --volume=~/tax_forms. Put some UX on top of that, plus something resembling Android Intents for escape hatches without giving out full access, and you will have a fantastic solution.

Implementation really really is key when it comes to the UX here though. Windows actually already has this feature (Controlled folder access) but it's done so badly you'd almost think it's a joke. Take this as a warning of how bad things can be if you just sandbox everything without thinking. Enabling the feature accidentally is deceptively simple without any warnings on how difficult it is to use: "Protect files from unauthorized changes by unfriendly apps" is all it says, who wouldn't want that? After that havoc breaks loose. You can only have ONE group of folders protected, you must have Documents protected. Whenever a new program tries to write in a protected folder the program just fails, then 15 seconds later you get a confusing prompt saying excel_32_broker_confusing_name.exe tried to write to protected area, clicking the prompt takes you to a page where you can't simply press yes to allow, you have to manually browse to find the exact program location, good luck finding c:\program files(x86)\office\bin or whatever they decide to call the exe.

This makes sense to me as a motivation for the disclaimer, thanks for that perspective.

I did feel that the yellow warning sign was a bit much. There was also a line about it not being for designers. As somebody with both design and engineering backgrounds, I felt less enthusiastic right away — mostly because I dislike buckets being enforced. It encourages people to put themselves into one over the long run, which in turn has a tendency to stunt their progress. It’s also odd when any educational resource (higher ed in the US being a great example) introduces itself by trying to be inaccessible. It feels counter to the professed goal of the institution / article.

Anyways, I guess I felt the comment above is a valid thing to discuss if it could improve other people’s efforts to write similar pieces.

As an aside: ironically, the article is fascinating from a design perspective. Just not the particular bucket of design the author was thinking of when he wrote that line.
Yeah, but that's not really "traditional". And if done fast enough, the "tax on conversion" will be essentially nothing.

It's a mix of a lot of relatively good choices/trade-offs from the React team.

I've been doing GUI apps for long enough to have seen a few attempts in a variety of IDEs (and languages). I like React exactly for this reason - that it models what they've done with components, but in a way that is more robust and flexible. IDEs tend to come and go but JSX as a language seems to have grown beyond React. It's a relatively good way of describing UI that can be read and understood while leaving ample space for dynamic composability which has historically been an issue to represent in the IDE UI builders I've used. I've usually had to resort to mixing UI builders and own code, or giving up on the UI builder entirely and instantiate classes myself.

I like React because of the trade-offs. It's not perfect. It's just imperfect in some acceptable ways.

An almond tree lasts for decades while a dairy cow has a considerably short life during which time she is abused by the Ag system and releases methane, poop, consumes a lot of inputs and a lot of water and labour and fossil fuel and electricity and refrigeration. It costs a dairy farmer more to produce a gallon of milk than it costs the consumer to buy it. It’s an industry entirely supported by subsidies. So it’s not profitable either. Many dairy farms are shuttered and farmers are committing suicide in America. And many more older farmers end up severely depressed as they question the only way of life they know and it is increasingly becoming hollow and meaningless. It’s beyond unsustainable. It’s abusive to everyone on that supply chain.
