Actually this effect has been observable for several decades with cathode ray tube TVs. Recordings from normal amateur video cameras look more / differently fluid compared to scenes from movies. This is particularly obvious with some movies from the 90s where you have scenes cut into the movie which have been recorded with regular video cameras - for example for dramatic reasons. Awkwardly few people seem to be able to recognize this at all. To me this motion smoothing is absolutely obvious and I find it mostly terrible. Real HFR adds to the realism of animations in my opinion. But it seems that for some super subtle reason some people's visual processing feels repulsed by this fake HFR - like uncanny valley - it's smoother but in a way that doesn't seem right while you're not sure why.

Who said that Googlers are not part of those "masses"? Surely they enjoy products from their company as anybody else?

And then, of course, nobody said you're part of those masses anyway. Maybe you're not. Do you enjoy Google product X as other hundreds of million do? Then you're part of the mass that enjoys it. Otherwise you are part of the mass that doesn't.

I am certainly not an expert on global temperature analysis, but from what I have read, 'satellites' does not trivially equate to 'better'. The satellites are not measuring temperature directly, unlike thermometers, so there is significant extra processing involved. Indeed the mapping of satellite data to temperature values has had to be recalibrated in the past. And because of the extra indirection, there are larger uncertainties.

Also if you look at the satellite data, although individual months may differ, the trend overall is the same as the ground based measurements, just with larger errors, which in fact shows thermometer data is doing a pretty good job.
It's even more interesting that many Julys prior to 1979 were warmer still. Our (humanity's) temperature records aren't very good before 1895, but the long-term (many thousands of years) temperature record shows that much higher temperatures existed within the time frame of human existence:

It's just conditioning. If it had been the opposite, you'd find 24 jarring and 60 natural.
This isn’t true really, it’s been known since before the dawn of cinema that humans can appreciate higher frame rates.

24FPS was chosen as much for economic reasons as anything else - it’s one of the slowest frame rates cinema could get away with while still delivering a satisfactory experience.

Remember that higher frame rates meant higher consumption of expensive film before the digital era. Lowering the FPS to the lowest you could reasonably get away with reduced the cost of materials significantly.

That it’s still popular today is at least partly testament to the conditioning effect of decades of 24FPS movie consumption. Audiences often find the higher FPS look and “feel” strange, at least in a cinema context, such as the backlash the 48 FPS cinema presentation of the Hobbit movies received.

I strongly believe that if industry had settled on say 48FPS as the standard we’d be conditioned to “expect” that look and complain that 24FPS looks strange.

I’ve thought about this a bit since I love urban green spaces. I don’t have N millions to give so it’s not a practical problem that I need to immediately solve, but what aim currently stuck on is if I bought up any block that’s currently a skyscraper and turned it into a garden, it would fill with homeless people very quickly. My city hasn’t figured out homeless people yet so most urban parks have people sleeping on benches.

The thing I liked about donating a park is the idea of people sitting on benches, reading a book, relaxing, dreaming of nature. Having my name over a park that is an adult nap zone for drunk people isn’t something I’m too interested in.

General purpose languages are a tough sell these days. Rust is tailored towards a niche and that's OK
On Windows this isn't great advice if you're making heavy use of Windows APIs. You end up needlessly converting back and forth between UTF-16 and UTF-8.

So it often makes more sense to simple use UTF-16 for your own strings and assume UTF-16 for strings returned by the WinAPI (but handle invalid sequences appropriately).
What you are saying basically (if I got it right) is that US ambassadors are in some way threatening the target country if they move out of a potential spying system. That's quite a statement and more like wikileaks material.

That top rated answer is excellent.

Agile at its core, to me as an engineering manager, is:
- People over process/tools
- Plan-able execution and pivoting quickly in rapidly changing environments
- Create consistent, repeatable work delivery
- Retrospection, learning and iteration over time
- Tools (can) support the process to multiply efficiency but do not solve the core goals and problems

Like the author of the comment said, the details of how you execute "agile" is where things get bumpy for teams.
The thing that scares me though is at what point, if not already, will they start to use training data on individual customers.

24fps lets you focus attention with motion blur (tracking shot on two characters walking, they will be in sharp focus, while everything else will be blurred but still convey movement, etc.). It's a similar tool beyond depth of field. However, a 60hz movie could just have 30hz portions. Stuff like panning cameras over a landscape looks terrible at 24hz. I don't know how you could combine the two without making things feel too much like changing between technology all the time during the movie though.

>Without millimeter wave 5g is only slightly faster than 4g

Yes and no, while technically 5G is only slightly faster on paper in Sub 6Ghz, In Reality 5G brings much improved capacity to the network, which translate to much better utilization and faster speed. And since most people don't upgrade their phone as quickly as they used to, there will be those who would rather have an 5G phone now rather than wait 3 - 4 years til their next upgrade.
Some of the most beautiful code I’ve ever seen has come of an engineer going off for several months and coming back with a 1MB patch.

That kind of time allows some actual deep thought to happen. Some kinds of outcomes won’t happen any other way. I agree with that point in the quora answer.

If you want the mid life upgrade you can always build for it on purpose. A second gen Ryzen 5 is presumably a noticeable improvement over whatever DDR3 quad core it would be replacing, but then you get to upgrade it to a third or fourth gen Ryzen 9 later when the price comes down.

That's one of the cheapest ways to stay semi-current, e.g. a Ryzen 5 2600 is $135 today on Newegg, add motherboard and 16GB memory and it's a little over $250. Then another $250 in three years for the Ryzen 9 from today, and the DDR5 version of the Ryzen 5 system three years after that. Much cheaper than buying the new thing the day it comes out (but also never as fast).
The problem with agile is that it is a greedy algorithm. It can lead you to local optima.
Usually this is not an issue if you are doing contract work,

However, if you try to create a product in a market with competition, a non agile competitor can reach a global optima (for example Apple vs MS in mobile phones), and than you will lose the market (and sometime your future).

I also sometimes wish I had all the time in the world to read through each one of them. Sadly as someone working full time with a kid, I have very little time for exploring these fascinating tidbits.

I was curious if the Klong book just covered an intro to array programming in Klong, or if it also covered how you implemented it in C or your high level C like language?

I'd like to write my own array language someday and would likely use something like "D" that is low level enough to be fast and release as a binary while being high level enough not to blow my mind.

Best of luck on all your endeavors!
No doubt. I ran a retail business that did 150k MRR and Chase gave us 30k and Amex gave us 100k.

Startup Scoring System
Hi there

I remember the politics of this well. It was all about legacy encodings (similar to the UCS-2 issue in the article). There were many encodings (“code pages” in MS land) for each language or character set, even Latin-derived ones. Just getting a single one for Cyrillic or Greek was a hurdle, with the most common in use as the “default”. True character unification would have been great, but was too much of a hurdle because you couldn’t just use an 8-bit character space plus a single offset. This was in the days of 16-bit machines, remember.

This legacy support is why there are precomposed characters.

It’s not quite the same for Han unification (people using those alphabets were already used to complex gyration was ao e). In that case the linguists, historians and other scientists were in agreement but they neglected politics. In Latin unification nobody cares that J sounds different in every language, but because Hanzi embody semantics, Japan may have a loancharacter because it once sounded the same as a word in use at the time OR because it had the same meaning as a word in use at the time so the sense of “unified” can be contentious, even though they are simply code points.
Certainly, but I’m not sure myself, can you think of any scenarios that are common where the difference would be noticeable or significant?
The if you freeze a cgroupv1 feeezer, the processes may be frozen at a point within their in-kernel execution such that they are in an uninterruptible sleep. The reason is that the cgroupv1 freezer basically tried to freeze the process immediately without regard to it's in-kernel state.

Fixing this, and making the freezer cgroup more like SIGSTOP on steroids (where the processes were put into a killable state upon being frozen, if possible) was the main reason why cgroupv2 support for freezer was delayed for so many years.

So the answer is "both, kinda". I'm not sure how it'd deal with legit uninterruptible sleep (dead-or-live locked) processes but I'll look into it.
Well if it’s on a publicly available blockchain, the difference is that the information on how much money is in circulation, how much is being created, is all open to the public and verifiable. The information on how much banks are holding onto in fractional reserves should therefore be available and make cooking the books more difficult and allowing audits to be more accurate and hopefully regulations could exist to keep banks better in check.
What you describe doesn’t sound normal. It sounds like your management is incompetent. (100% turnover in two years? Who is making hiring decisions? Maybe the stock offer is intentionally uncontainable, and they’ll eventually screw you out of equity too?)

Which VC? (If any.) Mention it to them. Worst case, the VC is an asshole too, and you burn that bridge. Darn.

Slightly better case, the VC isn’t an asshole and remembers you.

Probably unrealistically good case: the situation improves.
Probably doesn't help that googling for "risc5" brings back RISC-V results.
really cool and simple method. hope it helps to turn this world into slightly better place.
I think this sort of support has to be good because your alternative is to return it to the store, and this costs them way more.

In the past few years, I’ve noticed a proliferation of material included in the box that attempts to preempt this. “Don’t return this to the store! Call us at 1-800-WHAT-EVER for help.”

Where the customer’s remedy isn’t so easy and costly for the business, it’s much more hit or miss.
It’s not just Japan, but also a lot of the western world. People are getting married less often and having fewer children and my guess is that it’s largely driven by women opting out as they are a lot more selective in who they date and marry compared to men. Historically women didn’t have much of a say in the matter since they needed to marry for a better life since they lacked the freedoms or resources to go it alone. Now that women have gained their freedom and the resources to to survive on their own (higher rates of education, economy that supports high paying jobs that employees lots of women, etc), they can totally stay unmarried and have fulfilling lives in their social circles and wait until they can select exactly what they want. Men largely take what they can get, they are the selected. Women select. And of course this is just a generalization.
I, for one, don’t want to watch movies that aren’t in 24fps.

It really depends on the bang-for-buck for jobs, housing and entertainment etc.

All of that would be awesome, but it won't kill AMP.

AMP isn't popular because users love it. It's popular because Google shows AMP-only results for the first screen (often two or more screens) of search results on their site. You can make as beautiful an experience as you want, but users won't see it when they search, so they won't ever get to experience it.
Agile as implemented at almost all companies fails to account for the possibility of software with simple observable interfaces requiring extremely complex and intrinsically non-modular internal design. Most high-end platform infrastructure work looks like this if you are doing it correctly. As a consequence, it becomes difficult-to-impossible to do any kind of hardcore platform software engineering work in most organizations because their model for what successful agile software development should look like doesn't allow for it. There is no appetite for software development where there will be no visible progress for many months and demonstrable functionality is extremely backloaded.

A related issue is software that cannot be meaningfully prototyped because any design that is reflective of the desired product has the same order of effort as the actual product, for many of the same reasons.

There are certain kinds of high-value software that cannot be built inside most tech companies now because it pattern matches so poorly to the way people think "agile" software development should look like.
> that’s like telling someone who hates cilantro that that will “get used to it”. They don’t want to and neither do I.

This is an important point, and has more to do with the debate than whether or not 24 vs 60 is actually better. Many people don’t care if 60 is better and don’t want to hear the argument.

I expect that TV manufacturers aren’t intentionally trying to change anyone’s mind, but rather are looking at the future generations of viewers. Kids don’t seem to mind HFR as much, and kids outnumber adults who prefer 24fps. Today’s kids are tomorrow’s TV buyers.

A good answer might be to appease today’s vocal film lovers by adding settings or changing defaults, but they might also reasonably choose to cater to the preferences of the next generation over the current one.
Of course developers are free to do what they like, but I think it's a bit of a shame that it's not RISC-V. He's missing out on all the toolchain support in GCC and Clang, plus the ability to run various embedded operating systems including these days seL4. RISC-V has an embedded profile (RV32E) and a tiny implementation of that (PicoRV32) so I'm fairly sure it could be suitable for this.
