Could you use a couple of the front cameras simultaneously to do something like 3d, or is this asking too much?

And since this is Hacker News, I'd probably consider paying a couple dollar for this to be really goofy but have no professional production motivation...yet. I'm probably not a good representative of your target market.
Thats kind of the thing to do in C# as well, and Java Streams, and in Rust the fastest way to do loops is not to do them but use iterators.
When i'm looking to hire an engineer, the main signals i'm looking for are:

- can this person do the job (can they actually program and think about things in an abstract way)

- is this someone i'd want to work with

- if they're lacking one of the above, are they open to feedback and able to learn and grow.

Takehome assignments arguably only solve the first part of this and as a result don't give you a ton of signal about whether or not someone is good or bad. Also, once they're standardized and out there on the internet, their inherent value becomes diminished as it becomes an arms race to detect plagarism.
> True that, but arguably the best benefit of remote work is to.. well.. live remotely.

This is actually one of the biggest reasons for an employer to choose remote-only. It's very difficult to find everyone you need in a single city at a salary you can afford.

I should've also mentioned that some of my closest relationships are with people I almost never meet in person. The US is full of people who are close to their families, but only see them a few times a year.

Coworkers can maintain a good working relationship without being in the same city more than once a year. All the companies I've worked for have had at least one remote worker, and they didn't feel like less a part of the team.

> If it's optional and actually sponsored by top execs into the company culture, why would this resentment exist?

Because some people feel like going into the office is more productive. That's it. They pat themselves on the back for it and look down on people who don't.

> I'd really hate to live and work in the same place

This is orthogonal to the issue of a remote-only employer. No one would be forcing you to stay at home. You could go to a library, coffee shop, co-working space, local college, friend's house, public park, or wherever else you choose to work from. You could be at a hotel in Tokyo, if you wanted.
Become a carpenter or apiculturist.

I feel like I'm too unplugged from nature.
If you look closely you'll see that your comment doesn't actually contradict or disprove mine. That we as a civilization decided to move the entirety of our cultural output to the house of cards that is the internet is orthogonal to its nature and purpose.

You don't get to arbitrarily decide that now everything on the internet has to be immutable and that no one should have the right to ever delete anything from their servers because "history," or that all personally identifiable information has to be preserved just in case the mobs want to doxx someone in the future.

Also:

>Real history started with the internet.

What does this even mean?
But maybe even a snake could experience a rudimentary kind of “joy” based in a conditioning - the handler always bringing food, warmth and other attention. Maybe it on some very primitive level “appreciates” the thing in it’s environment?
Agreed on it being a breath of fresh air. Trudging in knee-deep snow in Upstate New York to pick an issue out of the mailbox was always thrilling – a bright portal into this magical place, far, far, away, called California.
Many of those pressures also apply to WeWork staying in the same place.

For WeWork to leave a lot of space behind that means they are taking a lot of space elsewhere (or going out of business) Of course they can leave one space behind no problem, but that happens all the time. (though less valuable places may run into problems it was the same problem they had before). Large tenants leave all the time, it is a cost of business: you factor that into the lease terms.

If WeWork goes out of buisness that changes things, but those renting from WeWork need to do something, some will talk to the building owner about getting a lease on their current space, so it won't be as bad as you state (it won't be good either). This same can happen if WeWork decides to move: those who are using WeWork space may decide that the location is important and see about remaining in "their" space.

It will be interesting to see what happens.
Anyone here using Swift on the server? Perhaps something in production even?
This might work out ok at low speed. The algorithm is simply "Don't hit anything. Stop if confused."
It is a possibility that there is a natural vector space embedding for functions in which integration/derivation is a simple operation. A deep learning network could find such an embedding.
Edge Dev is pretty darn fast.
That's awesome to hear! Sorry if my comment came off as snarky. I was pretty involved in the jailbreak scene back in my iPod Touch days (years and years ago), and I'm really happy to see some of the functionality I loved then coming to life now (in a much more polished way :))
Don't forget the corporate double-speak:

Your premise is extremely unlikely to begin with. Let's assume somehow it comes to pass, still the time scales of these phenomenon are on the order of millions of years. If today a blackhole were to start eating the Sun, it would take a couple of million years to finish that meal. Given a max human lifespan of 120 years. You and your next 10^4 generations have nothing to worry about.
The animals on the farm I worked were not raised in inhumane conditions and are not 'psychotic'.
To be fair, updater software for security conscious apps have good reasons to be hard to kill. Even outside of an attack scenario, you want to give as much chance as possible for your apps to still update even if you shipped a crashing bug or something.
Lol. "The Jim Morrison of poets". Pretty sure Morrison wanted to be the "Rimbaud of rock stars".

Anyway been a fan since highschool and wanted to share, though its sort of tangential, but there's a pretty decent movie about Rimbaud's progression ft. Leonardo DiCaprio from the mid 90's called Total Eclipse. It's worth a watch if you're a fan.
Beyond preschool, learn about Sudbury Valley School and other self-directed learning.

I find it mind-blowing how much more we learn when outside mainstream education, which constrains us.

I've compiled many videos and links on it, as well as some of my thoughts, in this blog entry: http://joshuaspodek.com/mind-blowing-educational-practices.

Peter Gray's book Free to Learn is the most comprehensive resource http://www.freetolearnbook.com.

That seems like a good question. From the article:

> There, with temperatures hovering around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, Rose and her 13 classmates are huddled together under a tarp hung among trees, learning to make cedar tea.

Yeah, that's hypothermia weather. Get a bit wet in that and you're going to be really, really miserable.

I love being outdoors, but 5C and rain is the worst. I much prefer snow and a bit of sunshine.

I don't know about plans, but it does help to identify as 'the person who...' as long as those are the attributes you want. The person who executes or the person who is in shape or eats well are all positive traits that can be cultivated and self-reinforce. For me, there is more general bang for the popsci buck in the above than announcing plans.
> the developer mentions paying the $99 a year. That's not trivial.

If you're running a business, that is very much trivial. I just paid my bank $40 to send a wire transfer to a vendor. It costs $39.99 per month to be able to make apps for Amazon sellers. Out here in the real world stuff and services cost money.
As a developer, I am sympathetic, but as a user of both app stores, I very much like that many of the apps Google Play accepts are weeded out by Apple’s review process, and I accept that false positive rejections are going to be a cost of scrutiny.

I advise adjusting your expectations to the worst case scenario. When we deploy to the App Store, we budget a significant lead time so we are able to resubmit without blowing our deadline. And we are prepared to fix things we didn’t expect to, or think we have to. In exchange, users are more willing to trust an app we deploy and download it.
> Kitze was kidding (I hope), but for a while this was a very real debate. Especially when render props were first taking off. Since then, Hooks have made anonymous (inline) functions even more popular.

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. The render function of Number only has to create a single H1 element which doesn't seem like a good test.

And the ExpensiveComponent example is strange to me. It's being memoized, so what exactly is the point?
I also just saw that you founded Workflow - it's been awesome to see y'alls evolution after the acquisition. Good to see more things coming out of it!
Do you realize you completely ignored the analysis that my comment is about?
Seconded. Those ads for prototypical "smart drugs" that promised a Brave New World populated by Mozarts and Einsteins. One wonders at an alternative history, in which all tech is optimized for hedonia, aesthetics and sensuality ;)

Kind of one sided. The developer who posted this didn't include his emails to Apple. With that being said, it's hard to determine what was said to support.

Did said developer ask why his account is currently under investigation? Hard to determine since he only posted what Apple sent back.

Personally I have 5 Apps on the AppStore, have for many years, they are small bs apps that don't have much to them (stuff like a Migraine Tracker, before HealthKit was a thing, etc..). I've never ran into an issue with my apps being reviewed. Yes, some have taken awhile, Apple is flooded with requests and they've increased requirements (etc) which only makes things take longer.

But since this really isn't about the Application being submitted, more so about the user's account under investigation. I would venture to say, there's something else going on that said Developer isn't posting.

Your $99 developer subscription means nothing if you violate their terms. All that $99 does is weed out even more potential malicious developers (as most won't bother with paying $99 and will just go to Android).

With that being said, the amount of developers submitting apps for review, Apple should find some way to review apps faster, especially since it is something we pay for. But there are a lot of developers trying to be sneaky and make simple applications for more complicated than they should be to sneak in code to either collect or steal data they have no business with. The more developers that do this, the more extensive review process Apple will have, the longer the wait times will be.
Or we could plant more trees. Seriously, of all the crazy carbon capture ideas proposed, planting trees still beats them for effectiveness.

Geoengineering will make lots of money for whoever ends up doing it, but on the scale we are talking about they are mostly infeasible decades long projects that will take why more money and political will than just stopping emissions.
Is there proximity detection besides connected SSIDs and NFC? I guess blue tooth devices could work. I'm not sure the range on them. I like how when I get in my car, my music automatically starts playing (bluetooth) seems like cheao unique bluetooth devices for determining where exactly you are at could be useful. One for the kitchen, bedroom, etc.
It matters because currencies, securities, and commodities are regulated differently and by different institutions. It may sound to you like they should be the same but they're not. They are different financial instruments, just like bonds and stocks are different from cash. What would you think if someone called an L3 cache "a CPU RAM", or an SD card a "micro hard disk"?

We're on a highly technical site so I would expect the same degree of accuracy when using terms from other fields as you expect when talking computers.
Force unwrapping optionals is quite useful: it's great syntactic sugar for what often just gets rewritten as guard/assertionFailure.

The (very) amateur deep learning/ml developer in me wonders if these feedback loops in the brain are the key or something to the conundrum that backprop isn't neuromorphic (that we've found, last time I researched this)?

That is, everything is "feedforward" but the outputs sometimes are fed back to the inputs (both literally, and "figuratively" though physical means - ie, motor outputs move arms which the eyes see and turn back into sensory stimuli, etc)...

...I'm not naive enough to think that is an original thought, though.
The sky is clear enough for a radio telescope to work fine. (Unless you try to go to VERY high frequencies, i.e. double digit gigahertz.)
I believe it's controlled by a sort of dead man's switch, i.e. you must continuously hold down a button for the car to move.

I tried reading an issue of Dabiq once because I was curious about how they interpreted the Hadith. It was really hard to get, which probably shows that the cyber attack worked. If their servers were still up it should have been easy.

edit: I don't recommend reading Dabiq because a decapitation is really difficult to unsee.
> Google should request from and/or work with Apple here, not hack around them

Or Apple should implement all of those features and reach out to and work with Google so they don't have to hack around anything.
Original blog post: https://blog.doordash.com/important-security-notice-about-yo...

From the techcrunch article: "It’s not clear why it took almost five months for DoorDash to publicly reveal the breach. DoorDash spokesperson Mattie Magdovitz say why [sic]."

Pretty bad. If personal identity info is exposed, it is irresponsible not to notify users immediately so they can freeze credit and watch for suspicious activity. The blog post did mention a third-party vendor, so it's possible there was a delay, but it's a whole other problem if it took this long to find a breach.

This sounds like it could be "flipboard-itis". Flipboard stored passwords insecurely in the beginning (SHA-1), but switched to bcrypt as it scaled. The passwords breached were before 2015, so possibly a similar thing here where they started out with bad security and improved with scale (but left the old stuff behind). I'm guessing Doordash did something similar and improved security as it scaled.

C'mon. A local municipality is a government, which is supposed to (and usually legally obligated to) act for the betterment of its constituents. Apple is a private company and, thus, not bound by any such obligation.

>I have no idea how cookies are supposed to having an impact on hosting in Google's cloud vs your own hardware

You do not see how lack of built-in authentication increases complexity of implementing your own website as opposed to "outsourcing" stuff to Gmail, Google Docs and so on? You don't see the zillion "sign in with Google" buttons all over the web? You don't see how cookies are abused for tracking, which benefits Google orders of magnitude more than it would a smaller company?
Millennial here. I like cities...the spread of ideas and culture is fast. Concerts, coffee shops (to read in) and its easier to meet hardworking people in a city(i feel like most relatively young people stay in cities at the very least until they reach their goals)...and learn how to make money just like them. Suburbs to me are where people go wait to well...die and I don't mean literally. I lived with my parents for a year after finishing school in a really nice suburb I felt suffocated. They love it.

My old man always told me not to call things 'expensive' but to ask myself why I cant afford them (at the moment). If you aren't willing to make the money to live somewhere comfortable then just call it what it is: not a priority.

FYI im immigrant and did not start out life well off but I did have parents that are very no nonsense and honest about why and how people choose to live where they live and why. Most just want to be comfortable and that's O.K

Real-Time Person Tracking on the Edge with a Raspberry Pi
I read through the article and I am feeling lost as to why they couldn't actually retool their production pipeline for 4K native. 40 cameras sure does sound like a lot, but I am watching guys on youtube shoot 4x the pixels and manage their workflows around the massive volumes of data (apparently) without issues.

Is it the broadcast equipment itself blocking the production pipeline from an upgrade? I would be very interested to hear from a broadcast industry pro where the actual technical constraint is (bandwidth, storage, compute, hardware, etc.). I feel like financing this wouldn't be a problem for the NFL+Fox.
Yes, you are right, I was off by a factor of 1000, must have typed '000' one too many times. Sorry.

Also, yes, the TWh was a per year amount.
I thought slingshot was just another name for a gravity assist. Can you explain in more detail when it is or isn’t useful to get very close to the massive object?
Similarly in Typescript, it seems like most of my code reviews consist of just telling people not to override null checking.

Adding a ! suppresses an error from the compiler, it doesn't fix an error in your code!

Standups to me are just a way to ensure everyone is awake. And able to answer a simple question and make a sentence. I don’t exactly care about the contents, except from time to time when it makes us notice that a colleague is on a wrong track.
Once bankruptcy is inevitable it's a mad rush from creditors to secure assets. The net effect is your "bankrupt" as soon as it appears inevitable regardless of whatever timeline you would have planned.

Further continuing to trade after your insolvent is a form of creditor preference. In most cases your customers become just another creditor upon bankruptcy. This is of course illegal.
That information will probably not be revealed. What would be the incentive for the US to do so? Zero. But the incentive of spinning the narrative and keeping the details murky provides a much higher payoff.
Not sure when it was last updated, but for at least the past few years, any time I tap to install an application I got from a dev's site or whatever, it basically says "hey, you haven't given permission to install apps from this source. doing so might not be safe, etc." with a link/button to take you to the menu with the relevant toggle.

As an end user, it's akin to typing my root password to clicking "accept" on Windows UAC. I can still install it just fine, but I need to give permission and check the box accepting responsibility.

Whether that's enough to protect someone from doing something unwise can be debated, but it's not something you'd really need instructions for.

There is a reason for this. Vice, while once ground breaking, has since become the dumpster diver of the journalism world. And once you give up enough integrity, it no longer matters where you find your story or what condition it's in. I wish I could still trust them at face value.
Read any random software patent and see if you can understand what it covers and how to implement it. Then ask yourself if that method should be exclusive to someone for more than 20 years. Software patents effectively patent math, which is not supposed to be patentable. That's the problem.
The Millennial Question
Descript Podcast Studio and Overdub
It appears that there was widespread support 18 months ago, even among Native Hawaiians: https://www.westhawaiitoday.com/2018/03/26/hawaii-news/poll-...

But the same article says that in 2016 support was much lower.

I wonder what is happening to change the level of support over time. Maybe the 2018 poll was just an anomaly.

The parent article (hawaiinewsnow.com) makes me sad, because it sounds like opposing the telescope is becoming a way of feeling cultural identity. The desire to feel a part of something is satisfied by mobilizing in opposition to something. I would like to believe that cultural expression and belonging can coexist with modern scientific inquiry. From this page it sounds like the project has done a lot of work to minimize the impact and do community outreach: http://www.maunakeaandtmt.org/facts-about-tmt/
There are definitely guys that clean up when they're in a bar. After all, most soldiers are young, fit, and horny. They are, however, likely describing experiences when they aren't near the base, such as being home on leave, or on vacation. I'm sure you're aware of the propensity for some guys to exaggerate stories of conquest.

When you're on base, or deployed, it's another story. There is a severe dearth of satisfactory partners. Bases grow small, civilians tell their daughters to avoid soldiers, available females line up for the top 10% of males and completely ignore the remaining 90%. The reality is most male soldiers are not having much sex. Now think of a deployment, sailors on a boat (where consensual sex with another service member can get you in trouble), or some mountain top in the middle of nowhere (the goats start to look cute). Those periods last a year or more, and can be very tough.

Why do you think prostitution and strip clubs are so rampant around military bases? It's not because the guys are "cleaning up at the bar" I can tell you that.

If you want to experience the tension created by a room full of drunk undersexed young incels in peak fitness take a trip to any bar outside a remote military base. It's frightening. Good thing they only take that aggression out on each other in a ritual of tribal fist fights and reconciliation by the base MP (military police). Better that than at home polishing their AR-15 while they watch Hentai. On base we keep the guns under lock and key.
