You're setting arbitrary restrictions based on some feel-good criterion you've developed for yourself.

The implication of your ethical argument was that avoiding ads causes the content creator to fail to get paid, and that's wrong.

There's no material difference between whether I avoid ads manually, or have software do it for me automatically. The end result is the same; the creator misses out on ad revenue. You can't cherry-pick the ad avoidance methods and say some are ethical and some are not when the supposed unethical act is depriving creators of payment.
Very much this. Ugh, so much ignorance in the name of "skepticism" in this thread!
I see many developers stressing immensely over optimizations that amount to rounding errors.

if (list[i].type === SomeType && list[i].valid)

Refactored to avoid two array accesses:

item = list[i]
if (item.type == SomeType && item.valid)

Then a few months later, somebody refactors the second version to the first version, to avoid an assignment...

I wish people would simply relax and spend that time on more important things.

That said... the performance issue with arrow functions in React isn't related to creating those functions. It has more to do with those functions preventing proper memoization of the components that receive them as props.
Here's my solution for a regular cone intersection test (see rayint_cone):

https://github.com/jimsnow/glome/blob/master/GlomeTrace/Data...

One trick is simplify the problem to just doing a ray-intersection test with an axis-aligned cone, and to handle the general case not by complicating the ray-intersection test but rather applying the inverse transform on the ray itself. You can use the same trick to support oblique cones: just figure out what skew transform you want to apply to the cone, and apply the reverse transform on the ray.
Generally you need to understand the concept of showing vs. telling which is described in the very first chapter of that book.

The other thing you just need to do is read the masters. Hemingway, Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Try to find an example of some compelling fiction for yourself, something that moves you. then try to find some cliff notes or a summary regarding that's story's plot. The information is there, but the emotional reaction, the thing that moves you is missing from the summary.

There is a story called "Litost" by Milan Kindera, that in my opinion does a very good job of explaining this without breaking the mood of the story through boring exposition. At its heart the story is simply about a youth in an affair with an older woman and unrequited love. But real compelling fiction is not just the story.

It comes from a word without English equivalent. Litost is a state of torment created by the sudden sight of one’s own misery”

Try to find a copy of the story and read it. I looked for a link but couldn't find anything. Try to avoid reading literary criticism initially.
Literally - you stop holding it until after you are dead.

There must be additional safety features in the software to avoid collision with obstacles? Sonar sensors?
Google Play is arguably as bad - just in different ways. At least an actual human reviews your apps at Apple, and they do sometimes point out specific-ish information.

At Google, since it's all bots, a random algorithm change can remove your app from the store overnight. With Apple, if you get through the review process you're usually safe. Not to mention random bans by association (e.g. if a developer at your company has previously had a banned account, then the company account could be banned due to association with this developer - there are a few horror stories out there about this).
You can’t set the minimum to be the average, it’s an improvement, but not a way to treat scores of passengers.
The official numbers are wildly against you on this. Here are the numbers of testees, total and those scoring 700+ on the math section, for recent years and then in 5-year intervals back to 1999:

year takers math 700+
2018 2,136,539 202,088
2017 1,715,481 120,043
2016 1,637,589 117,067
2015 1,698,521 121,057
2014 1,672,395 123,781
2009 1,530,128 97,296
2004 1,519,870 94,985
1999 1,302,903 71,214

(numbers pulled from https://research.collegeboard.org/programs/sat/data/archived )

In 1999, 1.3 million students took the SAT and 5.5% of them scored 700+ on the math section. Just last year, 2.1 million took the SAT and 9.5% scored 700+ on the math section! Or year-over-year, we can see that the marginal 421,058 students taking the SAT in 2018 compared to 2017 earned a marginal 82,045 700+ math scores, which at 19.5% is well over double the rate at which testees earned those scores in 2017. This makes it clear that the additional students are mostly long-overlooked geniuses.

(In fact, what's happening is that the college board is making it much easier to get a high score. A 720 math in 2018 is a much lower score than a 700 math in 2004. Sometime between 2004 and 2009, they stopped even providing the information of how many students scored 750+ on each section; 700+ is the finest resolution they're willing to provide now.)
I disagree with both of your statements. The entire point of my comment was that improvements on the margin are not always better than no improvements at all because the margin improvements prevent bigger improvements from taking place. "Better than before" is not the same as "better than it would otherwise have been". And even then, I'm not convinced gig economy jobs really are better than before.

"Lack of good jobs" has demonstrably not always been true unless by "always" you mean "in the last 20 years". And I've not seen any evidence whatsoever that the availability of good jobs is actually improving. The opposite, in fact. Traditional good jobs are increasingly being replaced by contract positions across the board not because employees actually want them, but rather because they're cheaper overall to employers.
Same with Fedora.
Cool, then do that. The actual embodiment of the idea is irrelevant. Just do what works for you.
It's so if you screw up and ship a version that crashes, you can still probably be updated. The updater is a tiny piece that only updates, and is itself not updated very often.

It's like an attack surface thing, but the attacker is Murphy and his law.
Unkillable software also has a very high bar for quality. That means among other things that it needs to be a good citizen on my computer and have pristine quality control. Keystone is neither and never has been. With great power comes great responsibility, and Google blew it.
> Isn't this missing the point? It's not about the overhead of declaring a new function, it's that you've made one of the props change on every render, so your child element needs to run its render function every time.

This is the larger issue, but the `useCallback` hook can be used to memoize anonymous render functions based on given values to avoid this problem.
I kinda wish Tesla made a few regular petrol cars for the enthusiast type such as myself, as this sounds like a ton of neat technology to play around with. I'm just not in the market for an electric car, unfortunately.

Edit: By enthusiast, I mean track/motorsport/etc enthusiast. I borrowed a Model S from a friend of mine for a few days and while I enjoyed it, it wasn't the most exciting drive, and I can't imagine it would be much good on a track. Amazing technology though.
Alternately, people will be excited and encouraging for someone's announced plans, and the execution will feel like it's all downhill.

It's interesting that the GP mentioned that climate stuff is "virtue signalling", but announcing that you're writing a book is beneficial. Both are absolutely meaningless claims until there is execution, and announcements are self-sabotage or worse.
Is that brainstorming a prerequisite to letting people be adult humans with free will who can, after a few warnings, be allowed to make their own choices?

We allow people to drink, gamble, join ponzi schemes or self-harm. The non-negotiable nannying around app stores seems infantilizing in comparison.

To answer your question, yes the risks are real. But so is life.
Per my comment, by default it doesn't matter whether props change or not. If the parent component renders, its children will too. It's only when you're _trying_ to optimize the child that the new function reference matters.
If Apple put the care and attention into app store reviews that they put into their iPhone/iPad hardware and iOS, they would have actual humans review everything. But the "race to the bottom" mentality has taken root, and if left unchecked will spread to the rest of the company IMO.
My 4 year old daughters have a completely different life experience. They automatically have critical mass at school, and can use this to manipulate the singletons around them. They make people happy, but yeah, they are pointed at a lot too.

A lifetime of that means the twins are on a different plane of existence. We singletons can only imagine.
Yes, but it can be a pain, and I wish more people were part of the ecosystem.
We still have to demonstrate that the choice to go cotton to avoid micro plastic release outweighs the tremendous water use that goes with cotton agriculture - water use that occurs in some of the most water scarce areas of the world.

And unless we're going organic consider the impacts of eutrophication and other chemical discharge/byproducts.

There isn't a silver bullet in material sustainability besides non-consumption. And we usually don't know (or agree) enough to weigh externalities against each other.

Its important that we study, assess, and (hopefully) mitigate the release/impact of micro plastics because their isn't a plausible path toward the textile product's industry to reduce it's carbon footprint in line with the UNFCCC without relying on recycled polyester.
My hope is that now that Spotify is available to Americans (where the people who develop the software are) the integration will no longer be total garbage.

The Spotify integration in v9 is so non-functional for me that I just use Bluetooth.

It seems to have zero ability to retry on network failure, and once it’s failed, it basically doesn’t work again on that trip unless you want to reboot the whole MCU.

Another reason I stopped using it is that if I have an audio book on my phone, if Spotify is selected then my phone will start playing the audiobook in the background over Bluetooth to nowhere while spotify plays on the speakers, thus losing my place in the book while I drive.
You're arguing that there is no "hard problem of consciousness". You're wrong. But at least you have plenty of company. Philosophers have been debating this issue rabidly for decades. Huge tomes have been written on the subject, arguing both for and against the "hard problem" being real.

We are not going to settle this issue here. I suggest that we come back in a millennium and see if any progress has been made. I don't have high hopes.
That's your perspective, and that's fine. From my perspective and the way my team works, we lean over and chat. It doesn't bother our team because this is how we have been working. Your mileage may vary and that's perfectly reasonable to feel differently.

It’s just like saying “I am paid well”. But if you’re not making $300K a year, people on HN act like you’re living in poverty and then you have to explain that $135K+ allows you to buy a nice big new house in the burbs in a good school system as long as you stay away from the west coast.

In other words, it details the conversation.
No, [2] is incorrect – exactly opposite. The included code was 'guaranteed to' (and did) work under the default OS configuration.
> Their ancestors before them went to war against other groups and took their land and resources. Something tells me they didn't feel particularly bad about it.

That's... not really relevant to the point being made.

At the end of the day, I'm tired of trying to advocate for the idea that you should care about other people. Especially if it doesn't cost you anything! Which, as it turns out, is actually the case for most kinds of immigration, despite what loads of unsupported FUD would like people to believe.
> There is no way to A/B test history.

This is the first thing you learn as a Political Science student in university. The "science" half of the name is somewhat lacking when you can't experiment.

> We now know that Marxist type systems of the sorts deployed by Lenin and Mao don't actually result in a better world and in many cases result in a worse one

We don't know this. There's a lot more to economic security and human rights than private vs state control of production.

> We once had this in the American West, but no more, so we should hurry up and build more rockets.

While a frontier can provide some space for experimentation, redundancy is the real cure.

We haven't done this as a society though since there is an advantage to large scale when securing a nation's economy and currency with armed force.

The interesting new technology doesn't seem to be cheaper rockets but instead a new way to make sure our money is valued as we wish. Cryptocurrency's method of securing transactions against counterfeiters using math enables small-scale economies to operate without wasting too much resource on keeping order.

A system where cities/towns have more sovereignty would enable greater diversity and experimentation because a failure would be much easier to deal with.

Thousands of cities with each their own policies of how wealth spreads is the diverse dream I wish for as the world shrinks into fewer languages, customs, and ideas.
Not specifically. The article indicates changing market preferences for travel, digitisation of agency functions, emergence of low cost carriers and market disruption in airbnb as the underlying causes.

Although they may have had 150k stranded customers it seems they were left with a low yielding segment selling products the market didn't need.
SAT is Math and English only, ACT includes Science.

I took both in the early 1990s, 1430 SAT and 32 on the ACT, didn't study for either with exam prep.

For high school coursework I had AP Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Calculus so from a content perspective I took all the courses you'd need to know things for both tests.

My understanding on the 32/36 and 1430/1600 is those are equivalent scores for the exams. I'm just one anecdotal data point so take it for what it's worth.

P.S. Studying for SAT felt like it would have had a bigger impact on my personal score. The analogy vocabulary section I did very poorly on (480/800). In my day they showed you your English score in two sections, vocab and reading comprehension (which I scored 800/800). Those 2 combined / 2 + math gave you your total.
I think this is a bit unfair: better point sensitivity has obvious scientific value, it just isn’t the most cost effective radio project if you have expertise in building arrays already.

And those extragalactic pulsar studies they hope to do sound pretty nice.
We had that problem at a different company (lease start actually, being a little far out) and opened a temporary office for 2 months.

There is literally no situation where any moderately competent company is forced to cram people closer than normal except to save money. Even "normal" is defined by money.

Heck, even an incompetent company can pay a competent company figure it out for them.
Yeah I was just thinking of the opposite.. if Uber recorded all rides and screened them for felonies. Someone playfully hits someone in the backseat and Uber calls it in "just in case".

Seems like it should be up to the victim if they want to press charges.

That said I think Uber is trying to avoid the lawsuit regarding "you guys need to do more to screen your drivers!" Taking more responsibility about their drivers actions. The lawsuit is bound to happen eventually.
"Powerful" is ambiguous in this context.

There's TFlops (especially 8-bit vs 16-bit), there's memory bandwidth, there's cache locality, and there's simple benchmarks like ResNet-50.

I haven't seen any real comparison between Nvidia and Tesla's neural processor. But I'd be interested in any comparison (even synthetic) to give an idea of the rough numbers. I'd expect these chips to be way slower than a desktop running a 500W GPU of course, but what numbers are we looking at exactly?
It's not just the 8 hours though - It's the weeks on end of practice beforehand.

And before someone says, "you should be sharp on your skills regardless of an upcoming interview", I challenge you to try a mock interview for a similar company.
It would be very cool to have a binary black hole system somewhere in the solar-system. I.e. two black holes in a tight orbit around each other at very high orbital velocities. This could allow for very powerful slingshots to bring probes to interstellar speeds.

While this seems simple, most mesh network protocols use different routing protocols, network topography will be unique for every network, and even the nodes are ephemeral (especially if battery / mobile). All this means that your data throughput is highly unpredictable.

Assuming that you have a border router (or similar persistent member of the network) who is in charge of disseminating your firmware over the mesh, you can either go with an algorithm that is unicast or multicast.

Unicast can be tricky because you don't really want different firmwares running on the same network (especially if the firmware includes a networking stack update). It also takes a long time, because you have to send X bytes N times.

Multicast can easily flood a network, even with rate limiting, because the amount of hops or rebroadcasts required can result in exponential growth in network activity.

Simply extending the amount of time it takes is problematic. What if a device restarts? What if it drops off the mesh?You are definitely correct in that it is solvable. It is not incredibly simple, though.
They could finance these companies in some roundabout way, but then to call them co-ops would be dishonest or even fraudulent, depending on who you ask. Why go to all the trouble? VCs seem to be fine investing in traditional, capitalist companies.
Have the courage of your convictions to argue the facts and not the account name maybe? This is a new kind of ad hominem attack.

I know that this is the American way, but in my view private companies should not be able to do "whatever the hell they want".

You said it yourself: "A government is supposed to (and usually legally obligated to) act for the betterment of its constituents"

So, government: Make new rules for the unicorn tech giants. Setting new rules for these behemoths helps small businesses and therefore your constituents. You make the rules. We need them.
It's bad for "the public" in the short run also, because competitor companies are employers and they can't afford to compete in the short run.
>My hope is that now that Spotify is available to Americans (where the people who develop the software are)

I thought Spotify dev was in Sweden, is that not the case?
Yes... I was agreeing with you.
> How is Smart Summon legal to use?

I can't imagine it is legal anywhere fully automated, unsupervised cars are not, even places that have supervised autonomous testing, since there is no driver at the controls. Of course, if you are someplace the public driving laws don't apply, and no private rules have yet been adopted against it, you might be okay even in jurisdictions where self-driving vehicles aren't allowed.

> I'm guessing parking lots are private property?

They are, but in CA they frequently have signs notifying that the public Vehicle Code applies and is enforced.

I used to be a huge enthusiast, drove mr2s, z06 corvettes, a wrx, bmw 3 series, autocrossed the competitively.

Driving an electric tesla made all of those cars feel utterly dumb.

If you drive cross country a lot or do long track sessions, I get it, tesla won't work well, but if you don't think an enthusiast would like a tesla, give one a try.

I'm aware of Elvish and really impressed with what's been built and the traction that has gained. There is definitely some overlap between murex and elvish but also a lot of area's where our shells differ.

I mean, the other way to look at this is the baseline cost for a supported enterprise developer account is $500 (or $5000, or whatever), and it's a discount to $99 if you happen not to need the extra hand-holding.
Right; except sparkle is terrible. At exactly the moment I want to use the app I get bothered by a difficult decision: Do I want to interrupt the flow of my work and wait a couple minutes so it can download and update, moving something that should happen in the background into something that directly interrupts my flow. Or skip the update and hope there were no important security / compatibility issues fixed. (Or kick the cart down the road and have it remind me later.)

The button I want is “update in the background when you close the app”, and it shouldn’t ask; it should just quietly do that. For all that chrome’s updater is like a tropical disease, it sure has way better UX than sparkle.
That was tried by the sun JVM, and worked until they tacked on reflection. Then there was just too many ways to break the sandbox when the sandbox is implemented just like your code is and you've got a mechanism for doing brain surgery on the process. Every time they'd fix a applet sandbox escape two more exploits would pop up.
What about what? All I'm seeing is some irrelevant local data over a period that is way too small to say anything useful about climate trends and a few political talking points about isolated incidents..
