I think I have to point out that your link at [1] uses Uber's IPO P/L numbers (which include their sale of some foreign holdings) which worked out to a profit of ~987 Million in 2018, but their past financial statements have purposefully excluded the income from those sales in their revenue and P/L numbers. (Uber does not typically use GAAP numbers for exactly this reason)

Hello Irene Adler
First-Class Modules and Modular Implicits in OCaml (2017)
I find the Vernor Vinge's vision of ubiquitous AR blending with VR from "Rainbow's End" a more compelling vision then the "Snow Crash" metaverse. Not sure if we'll get to persistently worn contact lenses or glasses, but a system that anchors the virtual into the physical has much more appeal than a purely virtual one. I don't think I'd go to a virtual bar to meet people and have virtual drinks, but if you give me a way to feel like my best friend from across the country is sitting across my living room having a real beer with me, that I'll pay money for.
Yeah, I haven't tried it with an existing importer, but I can't say I'm surprised. FWIW, it does work pretty well in combination with finance-dl (same author): https://github.com/jbms/finance-dl

Less drag (lower air density) but also slower winds. Cruising at such a high altitude avoids the strongest jet stream winds.
> The world needs more good software than another person making toy electronics [..]

I'd be just as happy to see my kids getting interested in electronics as coding.
> Which one is going to be more rewarding: building a smartphone, or making an app?

The counterpoint to this would be: if your child built an app and showed it to their friends, would they be impressed? How about if they built a smartphone?
I thought this was remarkably self-reflective:

> "It works for people but it doesn’t necessarily work as a business today, at least under my oversight"
I assume its a function of altitude? Not much air at 60, 000 feet. Although the same goes for the propeller I guess. The altitude would certainly be where the efficency comes from, but it's such a simple solution, there must be very good reasons commercial don't already fly that high.
As awesome as the Win2k source leak probably is from an educational standpoint, I don’t want to taint myself with illegal source code. I hope they eventually decide to open source more things, even if it was just older things.

This is routine for ordinary cultural practices as well. However, the common explanation for a given cultural practice usually has nothing to do with the actual reasons it might be a good idea.

I never heard of poetry before and normally use pipenv.

The author states that poetry is more popular than pipenv, is that true?

I did a quick comparison:

https://github.com/sdispater/poetry watchers: 77 stars: 4,690 forks: 318

https://github.com/pypa/pipenv watchers: 348 stars: 17,207 forks: 1,268

I don't know if the authors statement 'Most people seem to prefer Poetry.' is true.

It's not just a matter of using random system functionality; I think Explorer uses the same UI code as Open/Save dialogs, in which case the UI itself necessarily lives in system DLLs. (But I'm a novice when it comes to Windows, so I could be wrong.)

That said, the bloat is real.
I was going to point out how crazy it is to even suggest that we'd install 10 times the total electrical generating capacity of mankind, in the form of imaginary reactor technology, just to scrub our existing CO2 emissions, but I think that might be the point...
This. I still use pip, venv and setup tools and I've packaged everything from third party dlls given by a supplier to my flask applications with html and everything.

I keep seeing pipenv and poetry and wonder how all these came about? Is it because people come from other languages and want to do this the way they did it in those?

How is Netflix worth an order of magnitude more than Sony? Their stock is valued at about 3 times more, which is not anywhere near an order of magnitude. That phrase is thrown around a fair amount to just mean "very big", it doesn't.
> That's not how asset sales work. The new copyright owner wouldn't be liable for the previous copyright owner's actions. And if the new copyright owner isn't distributing binaries that include the GPL code they haven't violated the GPL.

Interesting, so even if the new copyright holder profited off of the asset, they wouldn't have to comply with the GPL? This is an interesting parallel to real estate, where the last person holding the bag has to perform environmental cleanup, etc.
Why does this work out terribly for the patient?

It's not like you're going to die if you don't get the book you want in 2 days, or even 3-7 business days. (Not that I buy physical books anymore typically, but it applies to other items)

People have just grown very impatient over time. I found myself getting annoyed that I wasn't receiving some items in 1 day (in Korea), until I reflected on what I actually was getting annoyed over.

Personally I find myself buying things on amazon or gmarket simply to avoid having to drive to the store.

But why is it so expensive? That’s the big question. Many times when Apple has been called out for price gauging it has been very easy to just itemize and explain. Here? Just doesn’t seem that its anything else than just price gauging. Any one experienced in mechanics that can shed some light?

They are still technical. The spreading doesn’t buy you anything in terms of channel capacity, just processing gain over narrow band interference, and the downside is now you need precise power control to keep all those codes at the same noise level.

4G & 5G uses OFDM, essentially distributing the data over slow, narrow band channels to get around the multi-path issues with trying to use even wider band CDMA. Then MIMO to actually increase the capacity, which only works when you have multi path.

This gives a good summary, specifically page 32, but CDMA is essentially dead soon.

At the very least, can we have the same font size on the control panels... This junk that's inherited from Windows 8 has random huge fonts all over.
I've not seen that before but it is perfectly put.

That is exactly the approach I've learned to take. I honestly started out trying to disprove the notion because I was full of myself. But it really didn't take long to prove it and then doing that soon became a goal.

Canoeing is a good example. My first shot was with my wife on the Buffalo River in Arkansas. I was working my ass off and about 2 hours into our float the guy who shuttled us to the dropoff came gliding by with his wife pretty much effortlessly while I floundered and ricocheted from bank to bank.

Awhile later I saw them sitting on the bank chilling out so I paddled over and flat out asked him "How do you make this look so easy?"

He told me everything I needed to know in just a few minutes and the rest of that float was a joy.

Optical Character Recognition Pipeline: Text Detection and Segmentation
The barriers are exceptionally high though. I have a degree in Physics as well as a degree in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in RF from a well-regarded engineering program and wasn't able to find any jobs in the field. In SW engineering, I am able to get offers for high paying jobs inside of a month.

I feel like I would be able to get an RF job much more easily if I could build a portfolio like I did for SW. It's a moot point by now probably; I'm already getting paid more than the average general practitioner while being able to work from home 100% and wouldn't want to revert to lower pay while being stuck in a cubicle all day.
Again the poisoned chalice of funding. :(

Thanks. I had not heard of this effect. Now I am just wondering if it can be triggered by watching the earth on a large screen...
They absolutely could technically. The more important questions are:

- Is there a big enough reason to motivate them to do so?

- If given a "legitimate" justification, would they?

If either of those are "yes" then the question we need to know is: "Is there any appeal, oversight, etc?"
Coincidentally, I found myself on Obvious Ventures earlier today and was impressed to see they backed Make:.

First step of creating a hello world Node.js application is to write a package.json file which is somewhat equivalent of virtualenv. Nobody ever complained about that. Isolated packages per project becomes the default and not an obscure extra command. Same with Rust, Gradle and many others.

I would like to reverse the question. If you can't install a virtualenv as step 1, the process of creating a virtualenv is simply too difficult and should be streamlined.

A CitationJet can reach ~420 knots cruise with straight wings. For propulsion, seems that they become a "hybrid" with propeller thrust and some jet thrust from their exhaust nozzle. This is similar to a P51, which generated some thrust with radiator exhaust.
I agree to those points, and really happy that 7-Zip still fits on a floppy (when the floppy itself is dead). The bloat is real, but it's not something specific to Windows. All three platforms, plus the web, have become bloated. But picking the 50mb size as a stick to beat an app which is still maturing is too harsh, IMO.
One study showing the opposite result likely means that all of their results comes from confounding variables.
I don't get people's enthusiasm for the settings app, I find control panel the faster way of achieving almost everything. Settings is slow and sometimes you circuitously end up where control panel world have sent you directly, e.g. when you want to change network adapter settings.
This is a great idea - though having it under the cover means it's difficult to toggle and therefore people will keep cameras and mic's on all the time.

Not even close.

Sub $300 4k displays are TN panels, or cheap IPS panels with sRGB color gamut, horrible viewing angles, poor calibration, contrast ratio, etc.

Exactly.

Four years of a subscription you can pay month-to-month (and cancel if you're not using it) is much more doable for many people than a $500+ upfront investment in a gaming rig. Presumably you also built this yourself at that price point, which is another thing other people are not as willing to do.

For me personally, I travel a lot so I like the idea of Stadia because obviously I'm not going to travel around with a gaming rig, and you can pry my 2015 Macbook Pro from my cold, dead hands.

Anecdote, but everyone I personally know in the Python-sphere hates pipenv (and the creator) for various reasons. On another forums community I’m a member of the recommended tool for python packaging is poetry.

I am Tejasav Khattar a software developer. I have spent years working on different technologies and I very well understand that what makes good software is not only how well it is technically crafted but more importantly how well it handles market trends. Developing software in such a way that it is easy to maintain is what I keep in mind while building them.

Although I have mostly worked on Python, Javascript, C++, HTML, CSS and their frameworks such as React, Django, Bootstrap, I observed that basics engineering concepts remain same in most of the tools and languages, and for the same, any specific programming language or framework is not my constraint. I can pick up things fast as per requirements. Currently, I am exploring the field of Blockchain and Machine Learning and also learning to program using Rust which I believe will be widely used in the future.

Thanks for reading it this far. If it sounds interesting to you, contact me and we can land on a common ground which will be good for me as well as for the company.
Don't study a whole cs curriculum unless you can afford to self study for years, instead make projects learn algorithms and data structures and apply for jobs. People with cs degrees also have to build things and practice algorithms/ mock interviews to get a job so do that!
Indeed. Here is a very fresh paper finding that attention is certainly not all you need as sometimes recurrence is necessary.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.01603

This is also obvious: Without recurrence you cannot remember information that is not externally visible, but it may be computationally very convenient and often necessary to maintain information that is hidden.

The hard part is learning reps for hidden information as recurrences are plagued by vanishing and shattering gradients.
Ask HN: Is there a market for reviving dead VC-backed ideas?
There are a ton of companies that don't achieve venture scale and end up going away. Often times this leaves a void in the marketplace where value was once provided.

Basically the same stuff for me-- ESP8266 reading a humidity sensor and flipping a 115v outlet controller on or off for the dehumidifier in my basement. The built in humidity sensor is either hilariously inaccurate or is reading dryer than ambient exhaust air, so having a remote sensor is helpful.

It's all fun stuff and of some usefulness to me personally, but I don't think much of anything I've done has any professional applicability; other than generalized familiarity with electronics and components I wouldn't feel comfortable producing a real product.

Are there actually consumer electronics out there that are just arduino examples glued together?

The point is that we already deal with glass through the entire process of production, distribution, use, and disposal and it is not a problem.

Plastic is of course cheaper (ignoring externalities) and of course has advantageous qualities. That's why we use plastic. It is a good material.

But we can deal with glass if we decide the true cost of plastic is too high, even if the glass breaks.

What about security?

The remote worker is going to need a development workstation that can't be accessed by a non-employee. It'll have to be in a room with a lock and an alarm. Houses shared with family members make this difficult.

The remote worker is going to need access to the internal network. This means they need a business-class router that can do an encrypted VPN. Trusting the workstation to do this is unsafe.

Voice and video also needs to go through that encrypted VPN. Possibly the workstation can provide for this. Whatever the choice of solution, it might need to be always running to accept incoming calls.
