Are biodegradable alternatives to latex available?

e.g. Could you make balloons out of something like polyvinyl alcohol (think dishwasher pods) so that they dissolve in the rain?
Does this library support dynamic rendering? I tried to add extra elements to the illustration after rendering it to the canvas and it doesn't appear to work. I might be using the API incorrectly though - is the idea that you can use this library to produce a static model which can then be transformed (eg. rotated), but can't be extended after the first render?
Thanks for writeup. Do you see AVX512 or it's successors being able to rival GPUs as the linear algebra champs in the near future?

Find a consequence that the kid does care about and use that instead. It doesn't have to be related, it's just neater if it is.
Or McCarthyism 2.0.
It's very interesting seeing an article on HN about this. Before my current job, I worked as a data scientist at one of the largest travel centers in the U.S., and we analyzed this problem almost nonstop with regard to both gas and diesel prices. A good pricing strategy is quite complex, and you'd be surprised at the number of factors that goes into it.

It reminded me of Ecstatica (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecstatica), an early 90s game that rendered character with sorted ellipsoids. It also reminds me of Ballz 3D, which also used sorted circles for rendering.

Some Pico-8 demos also use sorted circles for a 3D effect (https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=4050) and (http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=66974)

All kids are sociopaths to some degree, they don't really have fully functioning empathy until 6-8 years old at the earliest.

Being "a teacher not an enforcer" sounds like one of those approaches that only works on kids who are already well behaved. Many kids won't give a crap what you're trying to teach them once they've established that there are no consequences for ignoring you.
That's exactly the kind of thing I don't really know about. I'm not hostile to that sort of work, I just can't really add any information to it. There's clearly a huge market to building the Biggest Baddest Linear Algebra Engine out there, but I hope that other uses of SIMD don't get neglected.
This is not limited to free apps, many paid apps have involuntary ‘telemetry’ and then it’s just a small step to enable profitable spying and many do so.
I was there around the same time as you — a couple of weeks before the new sarcophagus was rolled into place, and just after the last inhabitant of Chernobyl died and her house burned down.

Everyone recommends going, but to be honest I'd give it a miss. There are plenty of nice things to see and do in Ukraine.

No. The reproductive bracket has remained fairly constant in the last 100 years - i.e whether people get to 70 or 100, reproduction stops at ~50.

The interesting point here is the concept of “population momentum” which acts like a capacitor that buffers decreasing fertility rates in the short term - yet - “peak child” has been reached.

I think the takeaway here is people who extrapolate global population in 2100 at 15+ Billion have it wrong.
The Chinese steal our Intellectual Property. They must be punished.

In my experience with the RCMP at least, yes. They might give you attitude about it, though. I have received a veiled threat or two though (which materialized to nothing).
Yeah, without some pretty strong new protections in place there is absolutely no upside and likely a significant downside to letting them in. The police are not your friends.

Huawei was looking to sell to Motorola, but then Motorola backed out.

It is less about bypassing the censorship, more about what are you trying to do bypassing the censorship. I don't think you will have any problem reading stuff. Transferring information may cause you big trouble. As individual, I do not think you should worry about it at all.
But for any sort of rational cost/benefit analysis, the plastic straw wins. Lower energy cost than a disposable paper straw, it works better, feels better, and (while I'm not positive of this) lower monetary cost too. And when you consider how few straws make it into the oceans from California, there are far more worthy targets. Or, to put it another way - banning plastic straws is a passable way to reduce the number of straws added to the ocean. It's a really shitty way to reduce plastic.

It's things like this (and opposition to nuclear, and refusal to consider geoengineering) that make people skeptical of the general environmental movement. After all, if this was such a huge problem... People would be trying to actually solve it instead of virtue signalling.
I managed to get StrongSwan IPSEC going in about an hour...

But then I'm looking for a configuration that allows me to route all my traffic via home from wherever I am, not a solution that allows me to route my home traffic via a third party.

Wireguard sounds interesting, and I'm going to learn more about it, but I like where I am with StrongSwan and just being able to issue a new certificate for a new device, and run with it.

Rosetty: A YAML/JS/Node/Python Dual Language View Tutorial Template
https://github.com/fornof/rosetty

My goal was to create a dual language viewer as a tool to use at a meetup - basically a lesson plan that people can take home and study if they like. I used the Rosetta Stone as a basis for this simple template.
I only have python and javascript side by side, but the section.yaml can easily be added on to add more languages and more sections to each languages.
https://github.com/fornof/rosetty/blob/master/sections.yaml

I made this with a Yaml file that has all the paragraphs in it, I used a python script to syntax highlight and url replace google(subject) with google search links. Node.js is used as the basic file server. Tornado could have also been used. Vanilla javascript is used alongside js-yaml.

Further work I would like to accomplish would be to :
1. get sections for classes, inheritance, and string manipulation.
2. Put in Go and Java so someone could compare Java with Python, Python with Go, and Go with Java. each side by side.
3. Make more pages with the yaml as a template.
4. Do meetups!
Yes it is terrible. It wastes billions of dollars plus additional billions of dollars of time. It is unconstitutional. It doesnt do anything. And it purports to make us safe by making us unsafe. We have to stand in line that can easily be targeted, stands next to a barrel full of suspected explisives, walk barefoot across a dirty floor, and potentially felt up.

I'm referring to both. It's more likely, I suppose, that software players could have problems in this area, but that's simply because many of them are free and they don't have to pass any kind of certification process. As a matter of fact, all well known software players I've encountered seem to do this right. Regular limited range YUV works pretty much everywhere. Doubly compressed YUV (the encoding mistake I was talking about) works nowhere because the data in the file is incorrect and has to be manually filtered to repair the damage.
What are the pros and cons of this approach?

That's a step too far. What's next, a ban on even talking to Huawei employees? I mean, if you want to be absolutely safe from serious legal troubles right...
Yeah but this is different. The cost of adding e.g. MACsec on a long haul link is a rounding error compared to the costs of the link.
Why is that a reason to ban academics?
If it's made correctly, yes. Pizza boxes aren't (because they aren't coated, so the oil soaks in), but e.g. orange juice cartons are.

I don't think this is relevant to what I created.
there are legitimate criticisms to be made w/r/t go's relationship w/ google, and vice-versa; the original post is plainly not one of them.
Per the sibling comments, I'd definitely like to know more detail. I rely on Streisand when in China and so if it's something to do with Streisand itself then I want to be aware of that.

Then you just create a proxy on your ‘required’ home site so it sends the snooped data through your site to the analyzing server.
No, that's not great either. That's the Chinese gov wanting to block knowledge from outside about political events, probably. This is something worse though in my opinion, since it actively halts innovation standardization which shouldn't have anything to do with politics.
I'm by no means a friend of the chinese in a lot of ways, but that's a broad generalization.
IEEE is just for US, not for humanity. It should be shame of that VISION—"IEEE is the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity."
This is so full of weird grammar that I thought it was machine generated, until I noticed the typos and other indications that a human was involved in at least some aspect. It's also full of technobabble and managerspeak.

I spent about 2 months to setup my "idea" boilerplate with Webpack.

Actually, you just need Typescript and Webpack to have a productive setup with frontend/universal project.
When the objects are tightly coupled, it makes sense to keep this logic internal.

This way its short and self documenting, easyer to improve without breaking existing stuff, and likely has some implicit stability and performance gains because developers can make less mistakes.
Nice. I've been playing around with 2D Canvas for audio visualizations and looked into WebGL but was mortified by how complicated it was to render basic 3D shapes and just gave up.

One is caused by an authoritarian government, the other one is applied to individual researchers and academic freedom as whole.
So cool. I looked at a few projects and was turned off by how much code was needed to render each result. However, when I looked closer I realized that most of the code was simply to define the shapes in the illustration, which, is nice, because it's not very logic heavy and means these scenes could be whipped up relatively quickly without confusing the hell out of me. Nice! To the author: you said you wanted to make it for a video game, would love to hear if that idea is going anywhere because I could imagine something like this as a game engine being super useful.
The real danger is working 14 Hours/day instead of 8.
Clearly is a problem of toxic environment in the office (none notices that you're there for so long hours every day?).

It's not a problem of tech, which is fluid, but a management problem. You don't always need the last fancy technology or tool, but pick what you might think will help you and go for it.

Being pragmatic should be the 1. Point in a developer's career
Because this sort of intervention leads directly to an Orwellian dystopia.

From the article:

> According to MCSCS documents, the most common risk factors ascribed to people in the database in 2017 were mental health (including “suspected” mental health issues), criminal involvement, drug use, and “antisocial/negative behaviour,” defined as “obnoxious [or] disruptive” behaviour.

It's a very short step from "antisocial/negative/obnoxious/disruptive behaviour" to a literal implementation of thoughtcrime.
Standards bodies, industry associations and the like are multi-country organizations. No single country should be able to prevent others from participating in such organizations. IEEE today and a few days ago the SD card and WiFi alliance banning Huawei seem to ignore the views of the members from the multitude of other countries who are also members of those orgs. Egregious violations of some written or unwritten code of conduct needs to be handled by multi-lateral institutions. For lack of a better organization, some wing of the UN perhaps?
Investors at large aren't phased by things like the environment. There's too many who would invest either way if the profit potential was clear. So far, all nuclear plants have required large subsides, taken over a decade to build and open, and have cost far more than originally anticipated. Investors often look to past performance as a predictor of likely returns. There's no appetite for this kind of investment nowadays.
It wasn’t enforceable but frameworks used to be banned on iOS. Note by the way that most third party frameworks of course don’t give you the source code.
I was walking out of Costco earlier this week and noticed a gentleman had a pack of 100+ balloons in his cart. These balloons were pre-fitted with plastic straws, for easy balloon blowing, of course. This will all be garbage in a matter of days after a few fleeting seconds of joy. I just about lose my mind when I see 1) such a product exists and 2) someone actually buys such a product. It was probably for a child’s birthday party, but there has to be another way to share cheer.

Edit: spelling.
There are all sort of statistical outliers when looking at cancer rates around the rest of Europe. See, for example, testicular cancer in Swiss men in 1987/1988:

Perhaps you should read the article? It's not about the cost, the restaurants don't want to risk a bad review and would rather wrap everything in one more layer of plastic. And not sure if you're aware but people from developing countries generally care less about being environmentally friendly than in devekoped countries.

Well, they may or may not be a fisher, but they are almost certainly a phisher.
This post and the article have the same problem: Thinking the way police works/seems to work in the US (always out to get you) is universal to the world while it is the exception. Police in other countries usually works out of a desire to help.
yes, it is. and it's perfectly reasonable for US gov to be stupid since Chinese had been :D
Just wanted to add that IEEE is much more than a standards body. Lot's of conferences are held by IEEE.
I'm well aware of the history of bytecode formats, Java was pretty successful for a while, even managed to get in the Browser and only failed there due to a lack of a DOM Interaction story and similar integration problems.

There is already plenty of companies that deployed WASM on their stack (like Ebay, they use Wasm for their barcode scanner), it's not going away any time soon.
That makes sense I guess, thanks!
This.

Carmack is in the wrong here.

If the US intends to rile up the the Chinese population for decades to come, well I guess they're on a good path. Unbelievable.
I am a One Person Agency And I am Burnt Out*

Only one of the complaints is technical related, the rapid pace of front end development to someone who’s “skipped Node, RoR and Python”.

As a “web dev” for the past two years, previously elsewhere, who has never worked in an agency, none of this applies. The front end pace absolutely would have two or three years ago, but things have generally stabilized.

Baltimore, Detroit, and St. Louis have the three highest murder rates in the U.S. [1]. If you’re implying the cities I listed have higher rates of murder or violence than Medellin, that is only true of Tijuana.

That kind of balloon wouldn't fly away, it'd just be blown up manually with air instead of helium.
I actually just go eat at restaurants because of this. It's pretty bad as a society when going out to eat food has become difficult for some people. Really, ordering delivery is not much else besides pure laziness.

Maybe in the case you're sick or something, sure, but for most cases going to a restaurant isn't that difficult.
Oh yes. I am an IEEE member of reasonably long standing and this just complicates things for everyone, particularly for IEEE chapters in other countries where Huawei may have a presence and are active participants locally.
I put it to you that most other language communities do not deliberate as much on generics.

Consider the document that Ian Lance Taylor put out: https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/15292/...

I have also given it a bit of thinking on the tradeoffs: https://blog.chewxy.com/2017/09/11/tensor-refactor/#some-tho...

The Go community may be stuck on an analysis paralysis mode, but it's much better than ad hoc implementation that will stay forever.
The feature of specifying no utensils is mentioned by one of those major platforms in the article. It looks like they are using it to be able to claim that they are promoting more sustainable practices, rather than actually do something about it.

It’s pretty easy to verify: create a uniform white png and convert it to yuv420p h264 via ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i input.png -pix_fmt yuv420p movie.mp4

Open in VLC or your favourite player and take a screenshot. Now check with a color picker whether you have white as 255 or 235.

Update: checked with VLC and QuickTime Player, both handled it correctly and displayed white as 255.
I agree 100%, its sad to see XHTML go from declarative and well thought out components to a web ui markup + a pile of js.
Well said. It makes sense to be outraged by environmental degradation. But it is good to channel our efforts to help in those places where it is most helpful by orders of magnitude.

That said, this article is one of the few that really changed my perception. I admit that I have released many balloons over the years, joyfully, with the assumption that latex biodegrades. Now that I see how empirically dangerous they are to seabirds, I won't be so joyful and will surely share the facts instead of releasing the balloons.
I remember an annonce saying that the go branch of leela-zero had finaly reachen the level of facebook's network.

It is. Although I strongly believe Trump was going to use Huawei card after the trade negotiation. By that time, US would have had a good deal, and Huawei is a step to gain a lot more. Luckily for China, he has been forced to show this card now.
Essentially what I'd said, so I agree! I'd like to have more awareness and study of what in the environment is causing it
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds like you lived in one of the more crime-ridden parts of SF (Tenderloin/SoMa/Mid-Market/Mission) while living in a relatively good neighborhood in Medellin (estrato 4 or above from my limited research). If that’s the case, I don’t see how that’s a fair comparison.

And you’re right - I can’t say for sure what Medellin is like because I’ve never been there.
> very surprised to see it was an article by John Carmack

John Carmack works for Oculus/Facebook, so that's probably part of the reason he posts on Facebook, but you might mean you were surprised because the URL gave no indication.
Yeah, I don't know, I feel like the constant framework churn has sort of died down and javascript is no longer changing the way it was a few years ago. It essentially moved from being a scripting language a decade ago to the 'full fledged' programming language it is now. Evolution during that time period was necessary, and a lot of frameworks and trends turned over pretty quickly. But now I feel like the JS ecosystem is on a much more stable juncture and not evolving as much. The most popular MVC frameworks are 5 years old and show no sign of going anywhere anytime soon. Best practices for tooling have mostly been decided. I think the web should continue to evolve but I just can't imagine it being as dramatic as it was over the last decade. Or maybe, I'm just a dinosaur too.
Then what Amazon is doing here is reverse of what Alibaba/Tmall/Taobao tried. Amazon is pushing smaller brands(<$10M) from being a wholesaler to become a 3rd party seller. but Alibaba tried to push brands from being a 3p seller to a wholesaler. This may be because Taobao wasn't charging 3rd party sellers as much as Amazon, because Taobao was in direct competition with ebay. Also I guess Taobao doesn't have something similar to Fullfillment_by_Amazon, and it does direct shipment from seller to buyer.
No. There are plenty more jobs outside of tech. Other skills are in demand and pay well. The US currently has a plumber shortage. A cursory Google search shows median salaries around $60K.
