> “I bitch because I care”

This. Or:

"I WANT it to be better."

It's sad that the response to that is often "Stop bitching or stop using it", "Make it yourself", or "If you don't like it why don't you go somewhere else?" (and it's often from other users who try to speak on behalf on the developers.)
It's well known that C++ is hard to parse. What's less well known is _how much_ the tools have gotten better in the last 10 years.

All I remember about that room was that it was nearly impossible to find a seat during finals (about 12 years ago!). We used to drive to a 24 hour coffee shop in Dixon instead. Nice to get a few miles away from Davis during finals, but even that place was jam packed with students.
Yes it's very much mechanically possible to use 2 pedals on the piano at the same time; it's not actually that uncommon.

For organists, these days pipe organs are usually outfit with a sequencer that allows the organist to program a list of registration changes (the combination of pipes/stops used) ahead of time; the organist then advances through the sequence of registrations, by bumping a bumper pedal with the side of their foot, or by pushing a toe stud pedal. Sometimes there are multiple toe stud pedals, which either allow for jumping straight to a specific combination, or for using the closest one as the program advance.
Vetur has experimental typed template support
Honestly from an industrial / historical perspective, they are trying to enter a game of a whole other level than anything social-media or ad-related can ever touch. I don't know how they can win using the same strategy (disingenuosity, cheeky attitude, etc) than they used so far. It just won't fly in that space. Even bitcoin et al. look more serious by comparison, by a mile, and that's saying a lot.

Not sure if serious or delusional, actually. Over-hyped by their own kool-aid, you know. It tends to happen to surprisingly large groups in the Valley. Time will tell, but if they don't have a special sauce kinda joker to play, I just don't see it. Defying states never worked well unless said states are basically non-existent.

> XMPP supports federation, which means that devices from different manufacturers connected to different platforms can talk to each other with a standard communication protocol.

The idea behind federation with XMPP for humans (aka, Jabber) is that my friend can have an account on server A (friend@a.com), and I can have an account on server B (me@b.com), and we can tell each other our addresses (because we know each other in real life), and then get messages to each other, which is cool, because we're friends, and both know English, and so will be able to meaningfully communicate. Not bad!

The idea behind federation with XMPP for IoT devices is...what? That my smart lighbulb can be talking to a control server run by Phillips, and my smart fridge will be talking to a server run by Samsung, and...they have no idea each other exists, have no ability to address each other, and have no ability to generate messages the other can consume, because they're completely different devices, from different manufacturers, with different protocols? Even if the fridge wanted to tell the smart lightbulb to turn on when the door is open, they need a shared "lightbulb control protocol", no? This feels like claiming email lets any two people on Earth hold a meaningful conversation; just because you can transport the message to the recipient doesn't mean they can understand the language of the message.

How does federation help here? Or any other XMPP feature? There's just no attempt to tie any XMPP feature or characteristic to the nominal use case.
This is a misleading TLDR. The article focuses on Chinese political dissidence moreso than MMA.
I have had a few database projects obsoleted when the DB maker has closed down or was bought and the app shot down, shied me away from depending on commercial/activation limited options.

So last time, I went for open source for the DB selected MySQL and haven't look back (now its MariaDB, easy transition) It was open source, easy to use, I could have an installation backup ready if needed, and very popular, might not be shiny new but was dependable for what we use it for.

You may need to find some distributed solution for an OSS DB (or roll your own, depends on the complexity/size), but where there's a will, and good community resources, there is certainly a way. Likely means data conversion, no matter the DB, unless your distributed data, IDs, and tables are basically generic fields, there will need to be some conversion done for any alternative.

Also, if you want long-term, don't go for cutting edge, boring and reliable is better.
Would be nice to do more in VR -- waiting for high enough res for programming and photorealistic avatars for video chat.
XMPP, a solution looking for a problem for over 20 years. :(
No experience with them. I think they might just be riffing off some trends that may be emerging now and projecting them out. I’ve definitely wondered at this disruption as well. I think it’s a good avenue to supplant protein production with more environmentally friendly processes.
Doing real work in Scala for a decade. Never argued about any of that.
Apparently, last I heard (was a good year ago),

- the whole thing was overblown, overhyped, etc.

- tech nowhere near ready at the level of expectation they built. Basically was more limited than Hololens (narrow field of view) but some cool effects. Resolution/performance was apparently not good to see.

- Software wasn't much evolved either.

The entire thing was a borderline scam, despite big names etc. who apparently got hyped like the rest of us.

Indeed. XML itself is nontrivial to parse and the "infinite" extensibility is just overkill for probably 99% of the time I've seen it used, XMPP included.

As an aside, this article seems quite devoid of actual content, bordering on spam IMHO. The title mentions IoT but the term appears only once in the entire article at the end, in a vague "XMPP is for messaging and IoT also needs messaging, so.... XMPP and IoT!" way. This is the sort of page that clogs search engine results with useless non-content.
Several music streaming providers have trimmed their catalogs and then I discovered that songs in my playlists were removed. I never got a warning saying by the way these x many songs you like and pay a monthly rent for are being removed, they just did it.
Call me old fashioned, but 2nd screen AR is not really augmented reality to me. Augmented Reality in its core means there can be virtual objects in my “reality” that look real.

I guess that's the downside of a contrarian "Think different" mindset.

Sometimes if you "zig" while the whole world "zags", you build the biggest company in the world. And sometimes you die from very treatable cancer.
Life... finds a way.

Someday, we'll hit a Malthusian bottleneck that we can't innovate our way out of, presumably. However, to date, every time disaster looms, something occurs that kicks the can down the road. It makes it very difficult to take seriously the endlessly repeatedly claims that the world as we know it is coming to an end in the short term - the result of such hysteria seems to be to induce a lot of self-righteous and largely pointless churn, while unheralded technology quietly solves the crisis du jour without fanfare.
Wow, here's one:

Conventionally n is the length of the input, which is generally logarithmic in the numerical value of the input for algorithms dealing in integers.

Moreover, analyzing Russian peasant multiplication as O(log N) implies treating addition as constant-time, which it certainly isn't. (This is intuitively clear if we try applying the algorithm with slightly large integers!)
"Peak" is best.

For instance, my GF and I are headed up to Petoskey, MI next weekend, precisely as it hits peak color. We've been wanting to visit Sleeping Bear Dunes for a while, and what better time than fall colors?
The ones in downtown LA are mighty close to a WeWork feel.
It may not be necessary for complex organic molecules to assemble out of nothing in a finely tuned primordial soup. Two recent studies to illustrate this:

1. Simple chemical droplets can divide and multiply in the right conditions: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.01571v1.pdf

2. “Evolution” from that simple beginning may be enough according to the theory of dynamic kinetic stability: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3843823/
It's not "my" flavor of Scala, it's what it's designed for. It's a pragmatic, ML family language.

Read Odersky's book, write code, still have access to all JVM libraries and a lot less brain damage.

There are people that try to write worse Haskell in everything from Perl to Kotlin too. The reputation is overblown and has little to do with the actual language.

That’s a completely different scenario. You aren’t paying to own the music you are paying to “rent it”. Digital music you buy hasn’t been DRM encumbered for a decade.

When have you “bought” digital music or movies and lost access to them?
People who worked extensively with XMPP in the past told me that it just wasn't cut for the current paradigm, with real-time and asynchronous communication, network hopping (mobile, wifi, etc) and just the way things evolved since... 1999. There were some changes planned but apparently the whole thing would be better off rewritten in a new form, and the effort never really kicked off, much like the protocol itself faded from use as we moved towards more and more hybrid networks and uses.

It's a sad realization, I always thought XMPP would save the day some day, but apparently there's a lot of work between now and there. And it might just as well be called something else. I think the latest move towards HTTP/3 enforcing SSL1.3 is one way to envision a fully secured web, 10 years from now.
> I would be furious.

Most likely you would not care. It is hard to quantify what is a waste of money as an investor because you're 60,000 feet above the day to day happenings. If the employees are happy with the situation do you care? You can yell at the CEO and try and have them work in a cheap dingy garage but if they are miserable and productivity takes a nose dive are you going to be any happier? That's why you stay out of it as an investor, you don't actually know any better because there is not enough data to make that kind of judgement.

Anecdotal story: I worked for an early stage startup backed by a large reputable VC. We worked for two years in the VC's conference room. One of the senior partners forced us out of their office and to spend money on office space we did not need because they did not like the look of our large ugly flat screen monitors (40" they were great). Meanwhile a few other startups stayed in that same space for several years because they worked on pretty Apple 20-something inch monitors that looked proper for the space.

So... who knows, VC's are not immune to irrationally stupid decisions. I will say one of the things WeWork always had going for it was locations. I'm more familiar with NYC and Boston but there were WeWork offices 5-10 mins away for South Station in Boston and Penn Station in Manhattan. It makes it really convenient to recruit when you can say your office is right next to a major transportation hub.
Isn't that exactly what technology enables? Ways of living and solving problems that were previously impossible with little to no additional effort from the actual consumer?
Fucking fantastic article! Just really great writing: hooks you immediately, and can't stop until the end.

I find that as I get older I generally have to stop reading about music: because the writing makes things sound so intriguing and inventive and crazy - and then I end up listening to it and go "oh, ok - it's just that." That's the problem with good music writers!
That seems counterproductive to achieving an actually better outcome.
Thought the same thing; sounds like marketing copy
I totally agree! It’s like we’ve been in a dystopia since like 2010. Ok more like 2006. Or 2001...
It is not used often because most times people want things to be deterministic. If I press buy, I own it, not I may or may not get it and have to wait to see with a fear that it may constantly lose out.
Why is hi-tech Japan using cassette tapes and faxes? (2015)
It has to be at the hand of the publisher, otherwise how would the info in the books be up to date enough to grant a degree on top off? The work you did a as a freshmen, would be useless by sophomore year and no one would ever graduate because their knowledge wouldn't be applicable.
Assuming that the musician or conductor doesn't get too creative, a lock-in amplifier coupled with a FFT should be enough to do the trick. (To put it in perspective, unless the orchestra is playing in a noisy bar, the sound of the piece should dominate from the device's perspective.)
"The researchers looked at samples from a big number of mountain landscapes [...], comparing their rock types and climate conditions. They found that once mountains pass a specific height, the channels [they mean the area between mountain peaks/ridgelines, basically the path e.g. a glacier "rides" on] become very sensitive to even the smallest changes in their steepness, and that limits the heights of the mountains around them. After adding more data from hundreds of mountain ranges, they could confirm this pattern, that mountain height is limited once its channel's steepness crosses a certain value."

Not sure if I understood "mountain channel" correctly, I don't know much about geology, please correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: Think I got "channel" correct though, there's e.g. the English Channel, if you imagine it without water, England and France could be seen like mountains.
I guess if you have one really bad idea, you can't make it any worse by mashing it up with another really bad idea, right?
> a GPU vm with a local SSD on AWS, does not exist

I'm pretty sure that's not true. I believe you can get V100s or T4s with local NVMe SSDs.
True yet I am excited about the future. Eventually this tech will be in an eyeglass form factor with perfect resolution. It might take 30 years but when it happens I think it will be more society changing than the TV ever was.
Reminds me of an American but I can't remember who that survived a severe thunderstorm?
> is a feature because it increases spectator engagement

That sound like the kind of optimization (aiming for audience “engagement”) which gave the media its current culture of clickbait and striving for maximum enragement and polarization. I.e. even though the audience could be said to (in some sense) prefer it, this is not necessarily a direction which you want to allow.
Many people have a guilty conscience over how we achieve that incredibly low price. That will be a strong motivator.
If you apply directly (not through a recruiter) you should be fine. Many companies speak frankly about their requirements around languages in job ads. I would not make Java + Python a requirement, because it is not a common combination.
I've used a couple DMA controllers that are Turing complete-- it's pretty cool what kinds of things you can offload.
At this point, please just let XMPP meet it's long overdue death.
Agree with the docs part.
As I've explained in previous comments, can't really differentiate either AWS or GCP. But personally I'd say GCP is very slightly better; not sure exactly why, but probably due to the fact it's a bit more organized than AWS's dump that goes edge to edge with bad fonts.
I'm too lazy at the moment to look up a link but fast food restaurants are already adopting these faux-beef burgers and people love them.
Ya, that's likely correct. It's all about how you transform the data you feed into the model, and which data you choose to look at, not to mention how you group companies together. That part is huge too. Once you've done all that correctly, off the shelf ML models will solve your problem just fine.
> for a month his condition was considered critical. Despite his injuries, he was able to fly again three months later.

Wow, that's dedication. He had the perfect excuse to not fight and he went back into a super-dangerous job.

I guess the war and flying in combat missions can be the most exciting thing for some people in these (often) rural people's lives. Plus the need to defend your country/people from a very real threat.
I would say (profitable) fusion power (other than the Sun's...), but that may be 20 or 2,000 or 2,000,000 years from now so...

I'll go with mind-controlling machines. I know the US military is already quite advanced in that regard (trained pilots can control helicopters, jets too iirc), we've all seen the monkey using a third mechanical arm after a few minutes of training, there's this game with the ball in a magnetic field... mind-controlling stuff is going to be immensely powerful. And so swell.

The human-machine interface (how fast we can transfer information into the machine, how fast we can intake what it outputs) is the weakest link in the chain. Improve that, and you massively improve our capabilities, our power to do "everything else". Imho. And it would be so cool to feel like Jedis or Q's hehe. And robotics, a "smart"-world IoT-enabled at every corner, and you get an idea of a totally surreal world for us.
Street parking should be illegal in the first place. Want to own a car? You should have to pay to park it somewhere.
No one is forcing you to buy an iPhone or use iOS. I'd say the market has spoken on the whole curated app store thing, and it largely doesn't give a hoot. There are entire phone OSs built for people just like you. Vote with your feet and your wallet.
Or how about the billions more people we will have in the coming decades? Population growth in the global south in addition to crop destabilization due to climate change will be a crisis. This is one possible solution.

Eating "real" food may end up a luxury for most.

I'll believe that when our CO2 output per year stops accelerating (never mind when it actually starts shrinking!)
If the whole world changes, your life changes with it, often in ways you didn't anticipate.

If you want to keep eating like you currently eat and this prediction comes true, then you have to put in additional effort to try to keep doing the same things.
There's so many ways beyond Western Union already to avoid exorbitant fees, one example is TransferWise. While a very broad use case I'm not sold given the existing competition that FB has anything super unique or compelling when just restricted to the cross border money transfer space.

When I was at a Regus space years ago, we had an amenity I never saw at WeWork - solid, opaque walls.
Making it hard to cross regions is deliberate - I would guess it's a learning from s3 being designed as a global service. And I think if you compared global outages across cloud providers, you would see that strong region isolation has substantial benefits.
Turing completeness means undecidability of termination, not something you'd enjoy in DMA operations!
Install your custom stuff into /usr/local and never let the system package manager know about it. GNU Stow can manage self compiled binaries with ease.
current generation "VR" is pretty underwhelming imo - it's literally a 3d movie attached to your face, providing parallax but not depth of field. There are things like magic leap that have 2 focal planes, but I don't know how well they work in practice.

I'm waiting for real light field displays to come to market, which should have a much more compelling experience. Maybe in 10 years...
Worth noting, this was still early in 1942 when the NKVD would shoot you in broad daylight for openly expressing sentiments that were not irrationally patriotic.
Yeah, I see now what you're getting at.
Can you propose an alternative solution?
They can have caves and such. Granite and I believe also sandstone tends to be totally solid, but limestone tends to form extensive cave networks from water seeping through the rock. Basalt can also have caves from anciet magma chambers but I don't think those usually lend themselves to human exploration.
