If people were driven because they care about other/all people rather than about their own material benefit, we wouldn't have designed a system based on the profit motive in the first place. Because it wouldn't have motivated people.
This is totally incoherent.
I think honesty is always the best solution.

Have a talk with your boss and discuss the current situation and how it is not managable. Work out a solution in the short term. What happens next is that your boss will totally not stick up to his end of the agreement, because he will assume you will fix it anyways. But then you stick to yours and let things burn. Then he gets the hard lesson, and you can put the fault in his shoes since it was him who didn't do his part. After that, things should be clear who does what.

In my experience this works, and my empoyers were always very happy to work with me. You don't need to be a pushover to get respect, you just need to do a good professional job. Expecting your employees to be available 24/7 is not profesional, teach him that.

So does the US, I've yet to hear a valid argument on why the US is a better citizen on the global stage than China.

Domistically a very weak argument could be made that the US doesn't violate the rights of their own citizens as bad as China, but between FISA courts, the NSA and programs like PRISM (which is more than a decade old now), this argument barely makes sense.

IMO ‘woo’ and ‘ashram’ is exactly the wrong way to go about mediation, for westerners. I'm automatically revolted by most kinds of spiritual stuff, but people I respect kept saying meditation helps to control the brain's attempts to wind itself up with drama. So finally I found the app ‘Headspace’ where a guy mumbles into my ear, with zero spiritual load and no cheesy music. What it does for me is I relax muscles including those I don't even feel otherwise, and which are all constantly tense due to bad posture. Only then, the mind calms down―tenseness and anxiety are normally in a feedback loop, and I have to break it. Can't relax as deep and fast without the mumble―takes three times as long and still not the same.

Also I don't think that in the teens you feel your bodily and mental states as acutely, at least I didn't until almost thirty―because in youth you're more active and feel alright most of the time. Took me several years of paying attention to my body and mood (before taking up meditation), to learn to recognize when I'm getting worked up for no reason. So yeah, in this sense it's probably not for everyone.

The CCP requires by law that companies operating in China share their data with the police/government.

Funny enough, I remember reading an article on Hackernews yesterday about how Firefox should not include DoH by default because one of the reasons being privacy concerns about data being sent to cloudflare, in the US.

I don't think this has anything to do with racism and shouldn't be treated as such. Privacy should be a legitimate concern.

So if you're right, then Pornhub is a bad example. I agree that ESNI won't help.

However, the reality that a large number of domains are on shared IP addresses, because they're either on some sort of CDN, or are using some sort of cloud-based load balancer etc. For these sites, ESNI certainly will make a difference. I'm not interested in an absolutist argument about how "thing" is useless because it doesn't work for a specific case. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

> Also, given the reduction in privacy I just demonstrated above

You've not demonstrated any reduction in privacy. "Privacy" as a bare concept is pretty meaningless - Privacy from whom? If I choose to give my DNS data to Cloudflare, that's my choice. Passing plaintext DNS traffic and hostnames on the wire removes my choice to restrict who I expose that data to.

> I gave you one, which was put all websites behind cloudflare. That is a shit solution. I'm hoping you have a better one...?

People have been sharing IPs on domains long before Cloudflare was invented.

Hi all, article author here.

My background is I wrote emulators for 24 systems and counting (higan and bsnes), and I want to try my hand at technical writing, in hopes of encouraging more people to get involved with emulation. I'll hopefully get better over time and with more feedback.

I'll be writing more about video emulation in the near future. I would like to cover techniques for interframe blending (the flickering shadow), composite artifacts (the waterfalls in Sonic the Hedgehog), color bleed (translucency in Kirby's Dream Land 3), screen curvature, scanlines, color subcarriers (and how shifting it causes shakiness you see in composite video), interlacing, phosphor decay, phosphor glow, aperture grilles, non-1:1 RGB pixel layouts (Game Gear LCD), etc.

I'm intending to write about all things emulation there, in fact. I want to cover input latency reduction/mitigation, removing audio aliasing above the Nyquist limit using FIR and IIR low-pass filters, designing thread schedulers and priority queues, provide mirroring and organizing of PDF datasheets for all the ICs used in retro gaming systems, etc.

Basically, I want to cover all the stuff you don't usually find in "how to write an emulator" tutorials. All the polishing stuff that takes a new emulator to a well-polished emulator.

It's not ready yet (the site is brand new), but I'll have an RSS feed at byuu.net/feed in a couple of days if anyone's interested in this sort of content.

Thanks for reading ^-^
So! There have been some interesting updates:

* https://www.technologyreview.com/s/614299/mit-media-lab-jeff...

Apparently "disqualified" status was a flag in their CRM essentially just meant "don't bother trying to cold call this person", usually set after three failed attempts to fund-raise from them. It in no way signaled any kind of prohibition on fundraising, and only available to development staff in any case. The whole tangent was essentially spurious and signified nothing except that his donations weren't coming in through fundraising cold calls.

But the real shocker is:

* https://president.mit.edu/speeches-writing/preliminary-fact-...

Media Lab's acceptance of donations from Epstein was known and approved by senior staff in MIT administration, the president even sent a thank you letter. The Media Lab had been directed by the administration to keep Epstein's donation's anonymous to avoid him using MIT for publicity or to enhance his own reputation.

So this whole idea that Ito was demonstrating mens rea by concealing his actions from the administration appears to be completely false. I find it shocking that MIT took a week to clarify this point.

I'd say I told you so-- but I didn't know, it just sounded a little suspect to me. Your alternative understanding also sounded reasonable enough...
In that vein, I'm always optimistic about restaurants in non-touristy places where there's a choice of restaurants (i.e. not just the only one). Those places live and die on local traffic. And people won't go back if it's rubbish.
That's a whole different question and I don't think nobody has a definitive answer. Market rate seems to be a "consensus" of how much does a developer add to a company. But paying less to a developer just because they live in a different country throws that out of the window completely.
> Even if I'm the only person in the world who thinks the bus is too expensive, I still have the option not to use the bus. But if I'm the only person in the world who thinks the tax is too expensive, too bad, I just have to pay it.

And the reason is that you accrue benefits of a free bus system even if you never ride the bus. For instance, if you choose to drive, you'll have a lot less traffic and more parking available, and probably for a cheaper price, because the other people will be riding the bus. Better bus systems means more mobility for poorer workers, which means better quality employees in the shops you see downtown. By making it easier for poor people to get jobs, it makes it less likely for people to fall off the edge and become homeless, meaning fewer homeless people in your downtown area; which in turn means lower cost for police, health, and social services, which means lower crime / better service for you.

Now, maybe you don't care about those benefits, or maybe you don't think your taxes will achieve all those benefits. But if most of the people in your city do think that, then it's fair for them to expect you to pay your share.

Ask HN: Is there place for side project product owners and coders to meet?
In the last few projects I came to really appreciate what big difference a really good product owner (think https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/agile/scrum/roles/product-owner ) can make. That is in writing and properly prioritizing a product backlog.

On the other hand, since I started developing software I came about many coders who wish to build something in their (unpaid) free time but can't really come up with a vision of what to build or how to prioritize.

I imagine, there must also be some professional product owners out there, who wish to build something in their free time but don't have coders to pair up with.

Wouldn't it be awesome if these two groups of people had a place to meet online, jam a few ideas around and pair up to build something nice together?

__Do you know a place where side-project engineers and product owners can meet?__

__If no, do you think the idea is good and someone should create that place?__

Thanks in advance. :)

I've been searching for a couple of weeks now and have asked this question in a couple of places but so far have not found anything remotely related.

Well, not recent, but a few years ago I deleted the production database of my fathers rental company (whoops). The (manual) backup was a week old. Luckily, all data was still there, but on paper (all signed contracts) so I worked overnight to restore all data from the paper pile.

After this, I built a script that did a backup once a day and made sure I had to go through some extra hoops to connect to the production database from my own dev machine.

All in all, this was a good learning experience.
Great points. It's amazing how people seem to want to pay no attention to the whole field of aesthetics when they see a computer make some sounds. Computers can help in composition, of course, but a computer composing by itself is a whole different matter.

"Expecting" is not the same as hoping that things would change.

> You are worth exactly the minimum that you're willing to accept in payment based on your individual circumstances

This is what I would like to change. There's an asymmetry of power in employment (if you lose an employee it's just a nuisance, if a person loses employment it can destroy their life) that is exploited by business and it can lead to terrible situations, such as people that are generating value for a company that posts heavy benefits but in return they don't even get a living wage.
Has anyone tried to simply point a camera at an old screen, say a CRT screen, take a photo of one pixel at a time at a few different levels of brightness, then add all the photos together to render arbitrary images? As far as I can imagine, it should capture the behavior of colors and the fuzzyness between pixels very well. You could even set up a small still life around the monitor, and get accurate reflections and ambient light in the room.

Stuff like the smoothed out flickering that you mention would still need to be emulated, of course.
I use a CDN in my environment so one trick I’ve used is to terminate TLS traffic at the CDN (where there is no limit on certs) then all origin traffic goes through a single ELB with a CA issued but throwaway cert the users never see, then on the backend do further routing by hostname and path to S3, lambda, other backend instances, etc. if you are going to have a CDN anyway you aren’t giving up anything. Plus connections between The CDN and the ELB can be pooled and kept alive for long periods so you don’t do much handshaking there.

I spent 3 years building a complex statistical model in Stan, only to double its performance with a trivial linear regression.

The growth is realizing that sometimes variance in the data means that really cool model/code you want to write isn't useful, and there's always a trade-off between elegance and utility (if the two aren't in fact opposites)

> What other language ships its own assembler?!

The majority of native code compilers I have seen include their own assembler. Many of them don't have a textual input format, but they are assemblers nonetheless.
I can’t resist to make a parallel with good or poor implementation of 6 sigma, 5S or any other lean methodology. If the environment is kind, they will help the worker and indeed increase the productivity. If not, they will squeeze him, and in the end become counterproductive.

It seems that avoiding wicked environments is extending far beyond security. Wickedness or fairness may have compounding effects on many subjects. I haven’t found a study about it with a quick search.

What a bunch of pseudoscience talking point bullshit.

> Before the Industrial Revolution, our air contained 280 parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide (CO2) on average. But new markets born from this revolution used a lot of energy, causing atmospheric CO2 rates to rise dramatically. For the first time in recorded history, our CO2 levels are above 400 ppm.

1) The Little Ice Age ended right as the temp readings were being taken which are used as the start of the "pre-industrial records".

It was going to get hottter regardless of our burning fossil fuels and we still aren't above the last, supposed, interglacial high.

2) 1.4 billion people on Earth during the above stated time period, now there are 7.4; that's 6 billion more people breathing in air at approx. 4.5 metric tons a year each causing the oxygen to be leached and naturally increasing the CO2 PPM.

3) Nuclear Power is far more dangerous (besides radioactive waste) as it produces water vapor which is the single largest driver of the greenhouse effect. Yet, why aren't they talking about that? (hint: cause they don't actually fucking know anything)

These corporations are so dangerous with their bullshit goodwill buying bandwagoning.

Although the word itself is technically neutral the word 'movement' is loaded with positive connotations such as 'civil rights movements', people will automatically associate it with a progressive/positive mobilization of people.

Taking the example from parent you would not see the wording used for far-right groups. Although they are 'technically' a movement you would see them described as far-right 'groups' or even far-right 'radicals'.
Those kind of « it’s defined like this » explanation has always confused me in math in general. there are two really different things :

- the mathematical concept was initialy created as a way to solve this particular problem, and so this should come at no surprise

And

- after centuries trying to define this concept, we found that the best way to define this concept is like that.

In your case, was « e » created to perform 2D rotations in the first place ?
There are shaders to render such 'artifacts' programmatically at about a thousandth of the cost of what you describe. It could potentially be more accurate in the way you describe it, but then what kind of blending mode do you use?
