That's my problem with Netflix - they don't seem to strive for excellence in their content. I understand that a popular, good enough series that runs for 2 seasons is financially worthwhile but it doesn't lead to masterpieces like The Wire, The Sopranos or Mad Men. It's natural that the very best content is rare, but by now I'd have expected Netflix to come up with their own contribution to that league of shows. Then again, they seem to do fine regardless.
> If your argument against std::move & unique_ptr is "I don't make mistakes" then your ego is vastly too large to be a C++ developer.

Please stop the strawmans and polemics and allow your ego to consider the opinion of someone who is, in all likelihood, more experienced in shipping product written in C++.

> If you want to insist all heap allocates are always shared_ptr you can certainly do that. Personally I'd consider that dreadfully slow & expensive

Oh well. I have a feeling we're not going to agree. Maybe let's discuss again in a few years. Maybe I'll have tried std::move then and found that it is somewhat useful in certain special situations.

And maybe you'll have realized that the "dreadfully slow & expensive" shared_ptr doesn't make a difference in terms of end product quality in, I'd wager to say, 99.99% of situations.

Blender is an incredible achievement for the open source community. It is an extraordinarily capable bit of software and 2.80 brings so many huge changes and refinements.

While it still remains a complex bit of software it is not has difficult as its reputation would suggest and 2.80 makes a lot of concessions to making the UI more familiar to newbies.

I've complained numerous times at my FC that none of the career programs are actually careers, and that none of the degree programs offer anything higher than an associates degree. FC employees with any technical expertise and a desire to retrain somewhere in the Amazon network beyond the FC system seem to be SOL. Of course, the situation might differ between facilities.

And I work at a FC near the second biggest tech hub in the US... it would be easy pickings for Amazon (pun intended) but it seems like no dice. But if I want a second associates' degree and to restart my career as a truck driver or paralegal at 40, I can do that.
It's a Universal Windows App. Apparently it was the "future" of windows development for awhile, but now it's taken a back seat to "legacy" interfaces like winforms.
I wonder if the Windows Firewall is trustworthy enough? So if it just has allow rules for non MS third party programs for both inbound AND outbound connections, would that block all the telemetry?
You mean if you create the pivot table from data in a sheet? It's not needed for that because you'll run out of memory trying to fit any more than about a couple million rows in a sheet first. Meanwhile you can easily load 10s and possibly 100s of millions of rows into Power Query.
It’s not a leak, it just means it cant beat the opponent for the maximum it could by playing the exploitative counter strategy vs their tendencies. Instead it just plays gto which will win against any given non gto strategy, though not for as much as the exploitative counter strategy. Playing an exploitative strategy however leaves you open for exploitation and this goes back and forth until the players converge onto gto, assuming the players are (very) good.

My unfounded suspicion is that optimizations might have been turned off to avoid bugs in the toolchain. The developers would have had to deal with very early versions of these tools before the comsole was launched and in development itself.
My main issue with them is that they often aren't reproducible as the data transformations aren't logged. As a computational biologist I often deal with spreadsheets that experimentalists give me. I have no idea how the data were transformed from the raw data, and often the experimentalists themselves can't remember either. That's why I infinitely prefer real programming languages for use in data manipulation -- you can look at the code.

I cannot agree more! The only ones profiting from coal subsidies are RWE and company while evryone else pays for it. It would be much more worthwhile, even for RWE themselves, to just use the coal subsidies and plaster all active and potential strip mines with solar farms. But then we are talking about old German politics and corporate culture, so that won't happen anytime soon.

I have done this repeatedly over the last few years (I drank a lot of freshly squeezed orange juice for a while and squeezed it in bulk) and I can therefore say with certainty that orange juice that is fresh will start tasting weird after 1-2 days in the fridge (kind of tingly, like it's fermented). This doesn't happen with fruit juice of any kind from a carton, to say nothing of the fact that orange juice from a carton is fairly disgusting.

> It's amazing

It is amazing, just not in a good way. Maybe I should try to find and post a link to that paper where it was pointed out that Excel was munging things like gene names because they get interpreted as dates in the 'untyped' cell input, and these things were showing up in published research.

Excel is a disaster, it will seem to work until it turns out it's doing something weird behind your back, or maybe you've made a careless mistake somewhere and it has zero tools to help you catch it. And you won't know until it's far too late. Please say no, use anything else - Python, JavaScript or heck even QBASIC or whatever - but just don't use Excel.
I suggest you use Power Query to load external data. If you do, pivot tables and tables connected to those queries should all update automatically on refresh.

Power Query is really the best feature in Excel to me, eventually users will stop copy pasting from Access to Excel and I'll be happy.
I think it will be easier to solve those problems in the Excel development space than it will be to export the Excel solutions to another solution domain.

Also the kind of mistakes you've described can (and do) happen in other programming domains that are deemed more respectable.

>Yet what Dye seems most fascinated by is one of the Apple Watch's faces, called Motion, which you can set to show a flower blooming. Each time you raise your wrist, you'll see a different color, a different flower. This is not CGI. It’s photography.

"We shot all this stuff," Dye says, "the butterflies and the jellyfish and the flowers for the motion face, it's all in-camera. And so the flowers were shot blooming over time. I think the longest one took us 285 hours, and over 24,000 shots."

He flips a few pages further into the making-of book, onto the first of several full-page spreads with gorgeous photos of jellyfish. There's no obvious reason to have a jellyfish watch face. Dye just loves the way they look. "We thought that there was something beautiful about jellyfish, in this sort of space-y, alien, abstract sort of way," he says. But they didn't just visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium with an underwater camera. They built a tank in their studio, and shot a variety of species at 300 frames-per-second on incredibly high-end slow-motion Phantom cameras. Then they shrunk the resulting 4096 x 2304 images to fit the Watch's screen, which is less than a tenth the size. Now, "when you look at the Motion face of the jellyfish, no reasonable person can see that level of detail," Dye says. "And yet to us it's really important to get those details right."
Honestly I don't think there is much to be seen. Young people are playing the hand they have been dealt, it just isn't a very good one.

I'm still not quite used to the new UI, but I generally trust the Blender foundation that most changes are to the better (and many of them can be reversed through settings).
Hardest part of everything I do in my life is making other people follow rules, or any kind of guide lines.

I am team lead of small dev team, if you push people by force to follow rules they will start maliciously follow them up to the point where no work is done and your spreadsheets are perfect.
This is (a release candidate for) a huge milestone in Blender's history. So much has been improved, that some, including myself, have speculated why they didn't choose to make it a 3.0 release.

Aside from the fantastic new features geared towards existing users, which are described in detail & with pictures in the OP, this release also makes Blender a lot more user-friendly for those who haven't used it before. 3D software almost necessarily has a steep learning curve for new users, as you have to learn not only how to use a new program, but also how 3D content creation itself works. But in this release the developers and designers have made an effort to get rid of the biggest "gotchas" that many new users complained about when using previous versions of Blender.

If you've wanted to get into 3D content creation before, there's never been a better time!
Mostly through bribery and the use of influence pedalling. I'm not saying that Apple will directly engage in these practices, or condone them, but whenever you have a poor country and an inefficient bureaucracy, someone is paying someone to keep things moving. In the US we've largely legalized bribery and buying influence, via unlimited campaign contributions and lobbying. The same thing happens everywhere else in the world, but it's still more under the covers there.
This is great news tempered by the fact that this is the first version since the NaN buyout that I'll not be able to run without buying new hardware. I saw many similar lamentations in the various fora, usually met with "It's 2019 etc etc." And so it goes.

These days it's entirely possible for cinephiles to have a very fine home cinema setup. Depending on how you live a projector and good sound system is far from outlandish.

As someone who loves films, but would have to drive at least 45 minutes to the next cinema which only shows current, popular movies in localized audio it's much more practical for me to watch whatever I want, wether it's a timeless classic or new, niche arthouse film, in my home cinema. Plus, food and drinks are way cheaper, the audience is mostly silent and I can pause/resume whenever I want.

There is no business model behind App Mining payouts for Blockstack. It's a developer incentive program, meant to incentivize developers to build high-quality applications on the network, especially in the initial years.

You can argue that the developers make the Blockstack ecosystem more valuable by spending their time and effort to build apps for it in return for newly minted Stacks tokens. Kind of similar to how Bitcoin mining works where miners provide computing resources to the network and do some "work" and earn newly minted tokens.

The article's definition of bystander intervention includes 'drunks held back from fighting by their buddies', assisting after the fight is over, and things like that.
