I have implemented a stereoscopic vision once (1 angled camera and projector, not 2 cameras, but details...). It worked and the quality of the results could reasonably be scaled with additional computing power (and general hardware).

While I wouldn't claim that the setup was very sophisticated, it worked reliable at least. But it doesn't even come close to the little nub in the back of your skull.

Matching minuscule differences and quantifying these in images probably uses a lot of processing power, indifferent of the algorithms involved. It doesn't only eat you CPU, it would do the same with your memory.

So yes, the brain is pretty good with images. But I expect it to be good at other tasks too that doesn't involve the visual cortex.

You might not remember what you have eaten today morning, but there must be at least some form of reliable memory in your brain. And you do complex, high-speed mathematical calculations that include basic algebraic calculus. Just maybe not those you want.
Building on 2- this is likely not a result of saving energy but rather hyper-specialization in specific regions of the brain. Like if modern CPUs had 10-20 cores, each tuned to handle a specific task. The result is energy efficiency, but in contrast to current energy saving options, the brain can't simply "speed up" and use more power and activate more areas of the brain.
Purchase vs buy, beverage vs drink. Not sure what the point in these slightly more technical sounding words that people seem to like to use.
The big thing about BeOS was that everything was non-blocking - simply adding a kernel patch won’t fix all of the software which locks up any time I/O blocks, whereas the BeOS UI on 90s hardware was more responsive than, say, Windows 10 is today.
Some people are talking about using LiFi or high-speed IR communication for vehicle to vehicle communication. Seems like a great idea, but you can do it at a much higher frequency than what GM is doing today, so it's not distracting to humans.

When I think of a declarative DSL, I think of something like cloudformation or HTML. The main advantage of a declarative language is that you can describe a desired end state without being overly concerned about the implementation details of arriving there.

I think the sorts of dsl's that he's complaining about are more hybrid approaches and not fully declarative. I think Chef is an example of a DSL that does that right, in that if you have the right plugins and helpers you can do it fully declaratively, but it's fairly trivial to add in blocks of fully imperative code or define new blocks.
If you run someone's software on your device, you are giving them a huge amount of trust. So many privacy and security concerns stem from people hoping this weren't true.
Adding additional test coverage and fixing bugs are the best ways to learn a new code base.
Google already does this for Pixel phones, probably much better than you (no offense), because they're Google.

I disagree. See https://www.red-lang.org/p/about.html as an example of a language that is purely imperative functional.

Why not switch to LACP + DOCSIS/DECA/MOCA + TV CoAx cable?
Cheap DirecTV DECA Adapters can carry speeds of duplex 100Mbps quite well. From marketing material, Motorola's MM1000 Adapters promise a 1000Mbps connection over CoAx.

You could try adding a plastic sleeve to the cable - but I've always considered CoAx to be resilient for rural/jungle Internet, especially because they are way easier to patch after cable cuts. It also doesn't make a difference if the chopping species is 'Cable Mafia Men' or 'Red Bottomed Rhesus Macaques'.

At this point, It is unreasonable to expect monkeys or humans to understand the subtleties of optic fiber cold crimping.
"The education aspect (particularly as a low-level programming platform) would have been made more accessible without such an opaque boot process."

Not that I disagree, but as a counterpoint learning programming with Scratch has very little to do with getting to know the implementation details of the underlying computational substrate. I'm a software professional and I can't bother with that stuff! I'm far more interested in fiddling with my programs than tweaking the underlying substrate. I don't think this is a stance everyone should take but I don't feel a worse person because of it. I can administer my own machine but I don't enjoy it.
In high school I got my mom's civic up to 135MPH, at which point it felt like it was about to take off so I slowed it down, gently.

but that was on a completely empty, open road, where no cars could be seen for miles.

I can't fathom going that fast in traffic.

edit: It should be mentioned I had a long history at that point of driving 100+ nearly all the time. That stopped when I finally got pulled over the summer before college and got a $300 ticket. I can't afford to speed like that. lol
Agreed. I was thinking more of a hacker space that little Timmy's mum would be happy to visit.

I cant see it surviving as just a shop. Shops can't even survive selling full size PCs, there isn't that much more repeat custom to expect from something that costs 2 orders of magnitude less.

Hi Alex! Actually, that's where we're heading to: with the series A investment we have just closed we aim to bring the inspiration and booking phases of travel into our app, to really turn it into an end-to-end platform. We already have prototypes ready, we just need to expand our team to start iterating on the initial versions of it :)

I guess I'm not SUPER concerned about a given app reporting on what I do in that app back to the publisher. It might even be possible to convince me it's a reasonable way to figure out what the app does well and what it needs to improve.

We could never get away with doing this for our (Windows) app, but sometimes I have conversations with people in my user base and I really, really wish I had some idea of how they got into some $random_weird_state.

But yeah, it oughta be in the T&C if nothing else.
It is declarative. The db does th query planning, not you. E.g. you don't tell the db whether to do a full row scan or an index scan.

Ask HN: I wrote CricketGraph MVP in the browser – should I continue?
One of my favorite apps for the Mac in the late 80's was CricketGraph. I would regularly use it to spice up documents in school - I'm certain it improved my score by a letter grade in certain classes. Since then, charting has been done a thousands times, but I've always wanted to take my run at it:

http://reportmill.com/rmc

This version pops up quickly in the browser, supports fun animations and interactive effects, has a built in designer in every chart and runs in browser, on desktop and on server (in JavaScript and Java). I've only got a couple of months invested in it, but with so much competition out there, I don't know how much further I should take it. I'd love to spend years adding many fun new features, but I don't know if there is a way to turn it into a day job.

Any thoughts?

> If we assume that every synapse can be considered like a "weight" in a neural network, we have a model that is much much bigger than anything developed to date.

This is a very bad assumption. Each synapse is a highly complex chemical computer, and its "weight" with regard to its contribution to the postsynaptic neuron's activation at any point in time depends on a multitude of factors.

Those factors include dozens of interacting metabolic pathways, the interactions of various neurotransmitter systems which each have distinct behavior, and things like where the individual synapses sit relative to one another on the dendritic arbor. There's even evidence that at least in some neurons the activation pattern may influence RNA production in the neuron, creating a kind of recording which influences the behavior of the cell.

Current ANN models should be considered a very low dimensional approximation of the real thing.
Actually, the comment you're replying to is querying what "gains" means - i.e. what you're gaining.
With the pervasiveness and relatively well known existence of shadow profiles for people not on Facebook, it makes sense that Facebook would know some information about you that you haven't shared with it.

I'm curious why Facebook would link a shadow profile about you to your real profile though, even if it knew with relative certainty you were one in the same. I can see no benefit other than advertising (which doesn't really necessitate them telling you in this way) but it seems that it could pretty easily lead to the misunderstanding above where folks impugn nefarious motives to Facebook that aren't accurate.

Or to scratch their "do it right" urge, to have a repo that they can show potential employers, to learn TDD, to learn a new language they can't use at work but hope to use professionally at some point, to have a repo that they can eventually turn into something revenue generating, or because they contribute to open source projects that require it.

I've written tests on personal projects for all of those reasons at one point or another (except the last).

It's much more likely that Facebook has a shadow profile for your actual email address and has connected with yours due to your friends/connections syncing their contacts.
The term "open source" can not be trademarked (just like Kilogram can not); the mark is too "descriptive." The OSI does have trademarks for "OSI Approved Open Source License", as well of course for its own branding, e.g. the "OSI Keyhole Logo" and the name "Open Source Initiative."

I provided you established evidence to the contrary.
If they don't sell all that, what do they sell? Just RPi? In which case it probably is just an advert, not a store as such.
I would posit that it is a result of collection - the survey mainly collected from JetBrains users.

It is possible that people working for lower systems have different editor choices, making them less likely to have answered the survey.

I don't think so. I think they were confused about the way in which social scientists use the word "politics". It doesn't seem to mean, to them, what it means to the average man on the street.
So I've oddly enough had somewhat of a similar problem with my cats chewing through our various cables as well, though they don't surround me threateningly...

One solution might be creating an unpleasant texture on the cable (by using a cable sleeve). If it's sufficiently unpleasant and not the same texture as before, it might be enough of a deterrent.

The same way they work everywhere else. Its just a pressure differential and a relatively small one compared to things like high pressure gas tanks we have here on earth. The 14PSI they need to keep in vs the 0 PSI outside is relatively small compared to even something like a tubeless road bicycle tire.
When Radio Shack in the US still had components for sale, they were absurdly more expensive than Digikey or Mouser. I think I remember a 5 pack of 220ohm resistors being $2.99. Digikey will sell you 100 for under two dollars.

12 Challenges to Implementing DevOps in Highly Regulated Environments
> A pet peeve of mind is having to "make clean" between a debug and a release build, and nearly all usages of Make have that problem, e.g. Python and bash's build system. You could say they are violating your rules because each artifact doesn't have a unique name on the file system (i.e. debug and release versions of the same object file.)

There are at least two ways that this problem can be addressed. One is to support out-of-tree builds, one side directory per configuration. Builds based on the autotools do this by default.

The other is to use a separate build directory per configuration within the build. My current project uses local in-tree directories named .host-release, .host-debug (including asan), .host-tsan, .cross-release, and .cross-debug. All of them are built in parallel with a single invocation of Make, and I use target-scoped variables to control the various toolchain options.

The engineer's incremental work factor to add another build configuration isn't quite constant time, since each top-level target needs to opt into each build configuration that is relevant for that target.

> I hit the multiple outputs problem

I wouldn't really classify that as a problem in GNU Make, as long as you can specify the rule as a pattern rule.

I hear you on the testing problem. Make certainly behaves as if the Makefile's correctness isn't decidable. Even if you levied the requirement that a Makefile's decidability was predicated on the recipes being well-behaved, I'm not sure that the correctness is decidable.
I don't know of any language with macros that have proper IDEs that do more than syntax highlighting. One of the reasons languages like Dart, Java or C# have such amazing IDE capabilities w.r.t. refactoring is that they don't generate half of their code during runtime...

People always seem to move left at the last minute with little to no warning (blinker on when you begin moving does not count as "warning". Like if you are in the left and there is a big gap in front of you a car in the right will wait until the end of that gap to move left. That is being an inconsiderate jerk. A lot of times you can predict when someone will do this but sometimes it is not expected (which is the primary reason it is highly unwise to be passing people going 20+ faster than them).
