Then you render with multiple cameras rotated around their centre, using the same techniques as cubemap rendering. With high field of view, rendering a single spherical view with homogeneous resolution would be inefficient for VR, not only due to the lack of hardware support (without noticeable artefacts or some subdivision scheme) and the created distortion, but also due to the foveated nature of human vision. You'd want a small view frustum rendered at a much higher pixel per angle blended with a lower resolution rendering of the entire field of view (optimally with a medium resolution view frustum surrounding the smaller one for a more progressive blending). See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNX0wCdD2LA

With current GPUs and game engines, you need multiple cameras to achieve such effect, but it has the advantage of drastically lowering the computing demands for high-resolution VR graphics (compare 8k per eye, vs just two blended 1080p views).

You could also ray trace a single view of non-homogeneous resolution that directly takes into account the distortion characteristics of the HMD lenses, but it would likely a lot less efficient than traditional rasterization with multiple blended cameras.

One aspect of placing yourself in their shoes is to feel how they feel. Another aspect is to see what they understand from what you are trying to explain. This requires a different kind of skill - of trying to see things from the perspective of different context, culture, skill, knowledge or language (do these words mean the same things for them?). It is this aspect that I had in mind and from your answer I get the impression that you meant the former instead.

Besides which, it's the ongoing fake brouhaha about "Russian collusion" that has already guaranteed Trump's reelection. Regular people don't believe that BS anymore, and they will remember it, no matter how savagely the Ds attempt to discredit the theoretically-soon-to-be-released Mueller report. If Ds had just moved on to important matters, Trump would have little hope, but as it is he will appear to be the adult in Washington.

To be clear: Trump is a corrupt person so there probably is lots of corruption to report. We all hung our hats on a particular flavor of corruption that involved him working with the Kremlin to get elected, which did not happen.

From the abstract, "This paper reviews the observational motivation, dynamical constraints, and prospects for detection of this proposed object known as Planet Nine".

I decided to share this paper from M. Brown and K. Batygin as I know there are many, on HN, interested about Planet Nine, and this paper seems to be a great review from the authors of the original paper itself. For users interested in shorter posts, I recommend checking out Batygin's posts from findplanetnine.com
Funny how for a while (back in the days) URLs in the offline world had "http://" before the "www", when (IMO) "www" and ".com" at the end would have been enough to tell people that it's a website URL, and modern browsers of the day were clever enough anyway to be able to load URLs entered without the protocol. Tragically nowadays marketers have replaced the URL with (facebook logo)/(their page URL on Facebook), or just "Search for $keyword", knowing they've done enough SEO work (or paid Google/Bing enough?) to make that $keyword the 1st search/ad result.

Which returns full circle to "AOL keywords"...

Ask HN: What are software problems in Oceanography?
I'm thinking about going to school for this major and I've been wanting to do something on the side with my development skills related to it.

There's pet projects with data crunching like with this stuff (https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/ and https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=oceanography) but I'm wondering more about problems and needs from scientists and people doing fieldwork.
Hypercard was a thrust in the direction of the Engelbart/Kay/Papert vision of personal computing, one where there wasn't so much of a division between "programmers" and "users" (Hypercard users were even called "authors"!) This vision of computing has fallen out of fashion for a few reasons, and it's a real shame. We have, instead, allowed our personal media to become arcane devices of dubiously "necessary" complexity. You can see this in any cafe where a web developer is using a teletype emulator to create a UI, or when someone cannot take the logical "next step" in processing some information in their spreadsheets (like retrieving data easily) because the system is not set up to allow them to explore that possibility without first learning a full fledged programming language top to bottom.

One lesson from this Kay/Papert line is that, when it comes to personal computing systems, metaphor is key. Hypercard worked in large part because the metaphor of cards, stacks, and live objects acting on cards and stacks was highly intuitive to a lot of people. Add in the fact that you "do Hypercard" in Hypercard itself, and that the home stack is itself an explorable example of how the whole system works. Imagine if web developers could work this way, making their sites and applications in the browser. Good luck copying and pasting that button!
Prototyping, hobbyists, people who host a site about cats and don't need 1000 extra lbs of server side weight. Spinning up a simple API to learn a new client side library. Anywhere that tooling and configuration is getting in the way of someone learning something new. Seems perfect for some uses.
Funny fact, garbage was literally the biggest US export to China until the ban.
So hear me out. Although Metropolis is a milestone in technical cinematic terms, the actual story is silly, the moral at the end is patronising, and the sci-fi content is weak, even for its time. So the modern equivalent would be something with a huge budget, flashy production and amazing special effects but with a rubbish story. Something like Starship Troopers maybe (although thats actually quite good as a satire). Or maybe 'Cowboys and Aliens'.

When you watch it and it seems a bit hokey, don't make excuses for it. It most probably seemed equally hokey to people at the time. For example here's a contemporary review by H. G. Wells:

The film’s air of having something grave and wonderful to say is transparent pretence. It has nothing to do with any social or moral issue before the world or with any that can ever conceivably arise. It is bunkum and poor and thin even as bunkum. I am astonished at the toleration shown it by quite a number of film critics on both sides of the Atlantic.

That’s the only way to “recycle” a Tetra Pak.
A lot of the value proposition of sending trash to China is that the containers that bring things from China go back empty, so sending them back filled with trash wasn't a huge marginal cost.
Strong this!!! I've done what the article suggests not to do and it failed miserably. I was put in a tech lead role and had little coaching on how to lead, so I mostly cargo culted based on what I thought other leads did and missed the point.
Great, the support is still basic, but it's a huge improvement over message passing when you need speed. 2 months ago a student asked me exactly that question: how to share data between processes, and when I told him that with the stdlib he had to manipulate mmap by hand (https://blog.schmichael.com/2011/05/15/sharing-python-data-b...), he was not happy.

Now that asyncio is production ready (we really have had a decent doc and asyncio.run() for a short time), and this, the concurrency story in Python is starting to look decent.

Since the 3.6, things are really going nicely.

Maybe we'll see an async django-like framework emerging from now on instead of the myriad of async flask copycat and django-channels. This would open the gate to live settings, manipulating tasks queues in URL enpoints, having RPC/PUB-SUB baked in. After all, I don't need async to just have exactly the same features as a WSGI framework.
but isn't this an abuse to the shareholder money injected in the company given that he wants to conduct a private consultation session?
This is very true. I'm forever being recommended things I searched for once for a parent or a friend that I have no other interest in.
I'll have to look out for this, thanks. I know my local fancy market has friday evening wine tastings, but I've never seen anything like this for cooking.

And I know group cooking classes exist, but I've just never seen it as part of the grocery store offering or something they publicize.
"Who cares that these problems are solved in Erlang/BEAM if hardly anyone is writing end user software in Erlang/BEAM/Elixir", basically.

My number one reason for not using Erlang is lack of static typing. Dynamic type systems are great for small teams, not so great for "enterprise-wide" development. (I know this horse has been beaten to death here, trust me, I have heard the arguments for/against millions of times, I remain unconvinced).

Also the answer to this question is interesting to me as well http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2008-October/03... -- (granted this is from Oct 2008) apparently if you were to attempt to add static type checking in Erlang, it would have to fundamentally change some of these benefits erlang brings such as message passing and handling process death. Haven't been part of the erlang scene for a while, but would be interested to hear a rebuttal to that.
Never saw this before, how cool. It makes you think about the current state of software: the main difference is that we can do the same things as is seen here, but in the browser. Apart from that our day-to-day software might even be less advanced. Apps like Notion come to mind as a modern day equivalent. The only thing is that this is more than 30 years ago!

That's sort of like saying "I'd rather be shot in the leg than in the arm".
I think you and the other top post folks are disagreeing with the title of the article, not the actual content of the article itself.

The author agrees with you in that you should actually do the work (you're a tech lead not a PM or purely management) but also actually tell your team what is expected and enforce it, not just assume they'll see what you're doing and copy it.
It is generally recognized that people who inhabit a particular region rightfully determine what happens in that region. That may mean that multinational corporations have more difficulty subsuming and consuming particular local economies as quickly as you might prefer, but that's just tough.
That said, if security is top priority you also want to be ready if you get shot from within the car. But more importantly you need to define the most common scenarios and make sure you are protected from all of them. One scenario might be someone shooting you, but another scenario might be food poisoning which would require an additional, different solution.
We could, but then industry might get together and form a littering organisation to reframe the problem into one of personal ethics and responsibility. Neatly making it nothing whatsoever to do with those that made the problem. Like they did in 1950-something forming Keep America Beautiful when one US state was encacting legislation to require deposit and reuse.

As we can see, it worked really well. The environment was saved, waste and littering are things of the past.

Some people still believe it's a grass roots organisation simply trying to improve the beauty of the country. Edit: founding members Philip Morris, Anheuser-Busch, PepsiCo, and Coca-Cola
I remember paying $129 for Mac OS X 10.0 and it didn't feel anything like NeXT.

On a supposedly state of the art Mac G4, it ran like a lobotomized sloth mostly because of the heavy new graphics stack. The giant fonts, translucent titlebars, pinstripe patterns and "lickable" candy color buttons were the aesthetic opposite of the 2-bit original NeXT.
Crossrail is also Europe's largest construction project - some of the numbers are incredible, e.g. "Over 3 million tonnes of excavated material from the tunnels was shipped to Wallasea Island in Essex to create a new 1,500 acre RSPB nature reserve"[0]. It also required spending £1bn[1] buying up and demolishing large areas of prime real estate in one of the most densely populated and expensive places in Europe to create 10 brand new stations. Not to mention that "100 archaeologists have found tens of thousands of items from 40 sites, spanning 55 million years"[2]. So the fact that it is more than 10% of the cost of this for a short tunnel under open fields in a sparsely populated area for relatively few people and providing no major new public transport hubs is I think all the more surprising.

They look good from the outside. It's when you actually want to use one that things go downhill:

- Extremely rattly and loud. No idea why, but I assume it's because of the extra resonance created by the double-decker design. Any time the engine is idling, you're shaking with it, and you're likely to get a headache in the long term. Don't even get me started about how it leans and kips hitting tree branches on tight corners in Sandymount. I don't generally get nauseous in public transport, but Dublin buses would without fail get me extremely dizzy.

- Terrible seat design and spacing. I'm not a tall person, but there's some rows where I can barely fit my legs. Not to mention the seats tend to bend back with use, giving the person behind you even less space.

- Dirty. I haven't ever seen a single bus without an empty can, bottle, or other packaging. Spilled liquids are common, too. But that's a general Dublin problem - for some reason it's one of the nastiest cities I've seen, people just don't seem to care for it at all.

Just to be clear - I'm not comparing this against an imaginary Perfect Bus. I'm comparing this against existing bus systems I've used and loved (Warsaw, Munich, Berlin, ...).
If you could solve the problem better, at scale, I’m sure they would pay you a lot of money to come solve it. Along with Netflix, Google, and all the other places that use standard algorithms designed to solve these sorts of problems.
I agree. I can image architects going into buildings for various reasons other than working on that building yet still analysing its architecture.

Not every bit of trash goes out there. I believe plastic and metal are separated.
Ironically (and anecdotally) I remember pages loading much more slowly back then than now, on average. People comparing the two need to remember just how much faster and better optimized computers are now, as well as the speed of broadband versus dialup.
Read the Wikipedia article on Bob Nygaard. It is a great collection of this detective's most notable psychic-fraud cases (including one where a client lost over $700,000). It will give you an idea of the scope of harm that belief in paranormal has on society.
There is a lot of evidence that even the "recyclable" plastic is not truly recycled. And there are varying degrees of recyclability based on the type of plastic. And as you would imagine, the worst plastic for recycle is often used because it's cheaper to produce. Paper is almost always going to be better than plastic anyway, but obviously costs more.

The original article kind of hinted at the absurdity of these meal kits -- it's no joke, you literally receive a single scallion in a long plastic bag. So that bag has really no use to you outside of holding a scallion.

The more I read about recycling, at least in the U.S., it feels like it's a grand scheme to make us ignore the amount of trash we create/consume instead of simply using materials that are better for the environment.

Just give me the price and I'll know whether I can pay it.

We've been talking about this at work today. A piece of software we use used to be great. It was a good price, price was up front, worked on a per seat licence, feature packed.

They recently updated to a new version, and now they licence per team, and tell you to request a price. Recent blog posts imply that they have tripled the price. It's very unfortunate.
As part of the team which does these stings with Gerbic, I can tell you it was a pure coincidence regarding the timing of the Oliver Psychic segment and the NYT article. The Thomas John sting happened in 2017 and it took THAT long for the NYT to get this article out. The pub date kept slipping for all sorts of reasons, and a few weeks ago it got hot, final fact checking happened, final edits were done, and an actual publication date was set.

So, it's just a bad month for psychics. But Oliver NEEDS to be given an award this year from some Skeptic organization.

BTW, check out the Wiki article for Thomas John... now including all the new stuff, as well as links to articles written by Gerbic with the inside scoop on the sting, as well as the con that is John's "Seatbelt Psychic" show! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_John_Flanagan

Also, I write for Skeptical Inquirer, and have interviewed PI Bob Nygaard about his psychic-busting career.

Going on pieces I've read in the last few months, others are backing away from being the world's recyclers too.

I recall a piece about Malaysia no longer being willing to thanks to a large increase in localised pollution, and illegal burning of non-recyclables (wrong plastic in bundle, labels, lids, etc). A fast search doesn't turn up a link.
Is there a nice resource where I can read about all these different optimizers, their details, as well as a comparison between them?
That's interesting, do you have a source for that? A quick Google search turns up aircraft, machinery, and agricultural products (and doesn't mention garbage), but I'd be curious to learn more.
