Yup, US power is being attacked on all fronts. Just look at how fearful congress was of the Libra cryptocurrency. They were literally talking about libra being a risk to the entire US financial system because libra could blackmail the USA by pulling USD as a reserve backing libra, causing high inflation in the USA. It is no surprise that people/countries/companies are trying to get out of the web we have created around the world (through the financial system). The problem is the USA is imposing all sorts of rules and regulations on foreign countries, threatening their sovereignty. Also the USA is usually extremely militant in how we enforce our rules. Don't comply with the rules - we shut down your accounts, seize your assets etc. Then we require ever financial institution to monitor their customer's activity and report it to authorities. Completely Orwellian system. No wonder people are trying to get out of it.

Some past work http://vmano.com/715/
In VR, dropped frames are quite noticeable. Even with Asynchronous Time Warp, while you won't get hitches in your view of the scene, you get hitches in anything that is animated. So, for example, waiving your controller around, it'll start to skip around. And you're always waiving the controller around. Nobody is a stone-still statue.

It's not really "round about ways of doing manual memory management". You can heap-allocate as much as you want, as long as you aren't doing it in a critical hot path. Object pooling is good practice, regardless of language and runtime, for real time anything. I do my major allocations and deallocactions during scene transitions, where the view is faded out already because making visible scene transitions in VR is nausea-inducing on its own.

And from a project management perspective, I've found it best to avoid using as much of Unity's built-in stuff as possible. Most of what they create are just garbage reimplementations of stuff that already exists in the .NET ecosystem.

I'm long-term going to get off of Unity. I'll eventually be building my own system on top of Xamarin, as I excise more and more of Unity out of my projects. I've already had to code my way around so many of their systems just to make quality apps that don't hiccup when things load that I don't really have a lot left to do.

All of the VR vendors provide C APIs for interfacing with their systems, which are the actual, first-class systems. Providing a P/Invoke layer on top of that won't be too hard. And Xamarin already provides wrappers around ARKit and ARCore.

Shader-wise, there's not enough processing budget to do anything but very basic shaders that I already know how to write, anyway. Any of the more advanced shaders that work well in VR are open-source.

Light baking can be done in Blender directly.

Unity's Audio pipeline is really bad. I have 50% of a reimplementation already. And again, spatialization is provided by the VR vendors, so there is very little of Unity's own code running in my audio systems anymore.

Sure, I wouldn't have learned how to do all of this stuff if I hadn't started with Unity, but once you get into trying to build scalable apps with pleasant user experiences, you have to ditch so much of Unity's built in stuff that it starts to look less and less like a good value proposition to continue to put up with the rest of their stuff, considering how buggy it can be.
Hmm... interesting, these are half the price for pretty much the same specs as my last (and regrettably expired) ones. How are they in practice? The reviews I looked at say that they lack in the highs a little.
Everything has its price.

Depends what they use it for. So pretty much a 1% chance.

If it offered things like how to get through the store faster based on what I buy, changes to the location of products I buy, or changes to open hours that are when I usually go.

Instead it will probably just give ads for products it thinks I am slightly more likely that average to buy. So no thanks.

So is Wireguard?
That wasn't eavesdropping by Google. That was Google not using encrypted traffic on internal wires. And that changed a lot of years ago.
There's plenty of reasons to secure all communication as much as possible, regardless of the content.

Even if you don't care about what your ISP sees from a privacy standpoint, they still can inject ads or other content into your webpages if the connection isn't secured (at least, from the perspective of your ISP). And this helps prevent attacks against users in coffee shops or other public, unsecured WiFi.
> no analyst deals only with one db, they have to deal with an increasing number of data sources

Which is why I mentioned federation. Most data sources in an enterprise are SQL native or accessible and it does not make sense to dump a SQL database into S3 just to be able to combine it with other forms of data.

Federation means you can operate across multiple databases (eg do Cross database joins etc.)

iPhones do it now, as well as some newer Android phones. They problem is that they don't tell you that :)
> since Android v9, apps have to communicate over HTTPS

That isn't true. It is the default but Android lets you override the defaults and use unencrypted traffic both in WebViews and in networking APIs.
I’m not an art critic and I don’t know what the paintings are worth, but what I do know, for what it’s worth, is that each and every time I look a “squiggly lines” and think “wow this looks great” it turns out to be a painting by Jackson Pollack. So, for me, there is something there. Something that impressionism doesn’t have.
But it's not how it's developed. It's not uncommon that you need to run multiple different versions of the software you're working on, each using different versions of its dependencies.
...do you? Unless the attacker has access to the private key associated with the SSL certificate, they can't read any HTTPS traffic encrypted via that certificate - mitigating the ability of that bad actor to perform a MITM attack.

And what I like about Wireguard is that you can't port scan for it. The protocol is designed in such a way that the wireguard server won't respond unless you know the right key.

You portray encryption as a magical energy. To the best understanding of cryptanalysis research, current TLS is secure. Hypothetically it could be broken and publicly unknown, but this is not a matter of "power".

My first computer, the ZX Spectrum, was simple enough that we assembled and programmed a roughly equivalent machine from scratch on breadboard in my first year at uni.

I recently resurrected my old Big Track robot/tank toy from my dads loft for my son to play with. Its over 30 years old, and has less computing power than an electric window controller, but back then it was the most futuristic thing I could imagine. My boy absolutely loves it. Its just the right level of sophistication for a 5yo, although I need to stick a volume control on it :)

I have zero artistic ability. My father is a very accomplished amateur artist. I've got into this discussion with him several times. Rather than Pollock's work, the best exemplar supporting the argument that artistic value is arbitrary is, in my opinion, Rothko's color field paintings [1]. My father explained to me that the reason it's in the Smithsonian is because he did something no one else had ever done before, he reduced the traditional landscape painting to it's absolute minimum. Same thing for Pollock, he did something no one else had ever done before. At least according to a very small clique of New York Jews. (Joking. Kind of. Not being anti-semitic, I'm an atheist Jew.)

Of course, the fact that this guy [2] is not also in the Smithsonian is strong evidence that it is in fact completely arbitrary.

First off, Van Gogh is not even close to old school, he painted less than 150 years ago. Second, the main reason for high valuations in modern art is because the artists were well-connected and got to their ideas first. Modern art is about concepts, not representation of real-life. Thus, you have a blank white canvas next to the greatest "old school" Van Gogh Monet masterpieces in NYC and Paris.

Consider, those blank white canvases take very little skill and creativity to produce. What they are a snapshot of a moment in art where very rich, well connected artists got to the idea of a blank white canvas as a message "first." Thus, they staked their flag in the ground and claimed that signpost in the long road of art history, and their rich, well-connected art selling friends probably convinced some gullible curators and collectors that those completely contentless abstractions are somehow valuable.

I'll give Pollock and others their due, that is some very interesting technique. However, as an oil painter myself, I believe the solid color canvasses hanging in museums are a slap in the face to the craftsmanship and sheer genius of the great painters, Pollock included.

I don't really have any special evidence to the contrary, but I suspect Schmidt gets a bad rap simply because of his appearance and demeanor of looking a bit stodgy like a bureaucrat from the federal Gov or something. He also has a very serious face. I think he was basically a competent CEO who steered the company away from risky businesses.
It’s not apples to oranges with respect to my point though.

Most operations on dataframe-like objects can be described in SQL operations. Spark supports these operations and Catalyst can optimize query plans for these.

You are correct in that Dask does not optimize for this because Dask operations are more primitive hence it does not have the correct level of abstraction to do query optimization, only task graph optimization. Which reinforces my point that if you have a SQL-like workload on Dask.dataframes, chances are Dask may not outperform Spark.
> One issue is there's a kind of missing middle in many goods markets.

I agree. It's gotten worse in every area from clothes to shoes to furniture to accessories since cheap shit started flooding the market.

For example, I usually try to be as frugal as I can with clothes, but that means trying to sort out a few good ones from the pile of polyester crap that sheds microplastic every time you wash them. It's such a waste of time that nowadays I just move up to the next price bracket where most products are made of real wool and/or cotton. I can easily see why someone who is comfortable with shelling out even more money will choose to ignore all the consumer brands and go straight to high-end brands that are guaranteed to be good.

Watches are a whole different game, though. There are plenty of good products in nearly every price range. Bill Gates seems happy with his $40 Casio Duro.
Yes and WeWork was profitable when you use their made up metric "Community Adjusted Ebitda".

Isn't that true for every money losing company? They make money as long as you ignore expenses?

The usual retort is "our addressable market that we have only started to penetrate will allow us to have a large enough marginal profit to cover our fixed cost".

But isn't that also in the pitch deck of every startup looking for funding? "There are x number of dog owners in the world. The total addressable market is ten gajillion if we capture 10% of that we will be worth $some_outrageous_number"

If the CIA was indeed promoting modern art as an expression of American cultural "soft power" then thats probably the best and most forward thinking thing they ever did.
