On the contrary one of the reason of COM is to not depend on the C++ ABI, which is not stable at all under Windows (it has been de-facto stable for the three last version of MSVC, but was broken each time before, and the recent stable stride is not an indication this ABI compat will continue - actually it is well known that MS internally maintains an ABI incompat version of the STL that will be very probably used in the future, to fix some issues and optimize things)

On another platform, libstdc++ is mostly backward compatible, within reason.

The C++ standard is not "officially" concerned by stability, except that in practice people in the committee care a lot (because some major implementations care a lot) so some modifications are rejected because they would break the ABI currently used in practice.

On the other hand, because of the curation, niche games can't really get on Epic, so we can only get those on Steam (or GOG for some). But yeah, discoverability is pretty bad on Steam, I don't think I've ever browsed the shop to look for games to buy, I always arrived to the store either to buy or check a game.
I believe there’s an SDK for it. It may not be publicly available (yet?), but third party codecs are going to be able to take advantage of it.

From what I understand (like a graphics card) the user defined software is loaded on at runtime (like a shader). Theoretically any software like this could be loaded.
Yeah this was a wonderful trip back in time for me too. I graduated high school in 1999 so I got to spend a couple teenage years playing around with HTML. I identify strongly with the "copy cool stuff from other teenagers' sites".

At my first web development job in the early 2000's I did some work with SGML. I forget now what I was specifying, but I remember finding it really interesting to be able to understand DTD's. It was like seeing the DNA of HTML. I also remember the miracles to productivity that were Firebug and jQuery!
I understand it's a review of the 45 minute episode, not the 30 second trailer. Having seen the episode, the "heart" of the episode is certainly not in any of the trailers.

I haven't seen this review, but 1% of the total runlength for a review seems quite reasonable.

Apparently it's quite common on youtube for people to take entire pieces of someone elses work (like 30 seconds of a 30 second piece), say "hmm, that was interesting", and post it online. MxR Plays v. Jukin [1] was a recent case, where they refused to pay the really reasonable license fee for the video, posted the video in full, said "no, not funny" or something, and then sold it for profit. The original video is something like 10% of the entire piece rather than 99%.

The couple of question then posted videos admitting they were breaking the law. My knowledge of this case mainly comes from LegalEagle reviewing it [2]. To me they haven't got a case (unlike this angry joe guy), but apparently they might have.

I think you have to factor in tech jobs are not as stable as people think. Performance review cycles regularly involve getting let go for a non-insignificant number of people. And people do not stay at companies for very long relatively speaking, either voluntarily or not.

Also hard to imagine that the bull run will last forever. A recession will hit the tech industry hard.
Chromebooks are always cheap, but it can be a lot of work to get Linux on them.
For lack of a better descriptor: behavioral traits one might identify as autism.

The person who for some reason is up on a Saturday night reading the NGINX source code in C to better implement their company's Lets Encrypt integration.

The person who actually stepped through Kelsey Hightower's Kubernetes the Hard way just because they thought Kubernetes was really cool.

The person who writes code for personal projects during "social hours" where others may be out with friends, out with their significant others, etc.

EDIT: I'll leave it for the integrity/honesty of the comment, but here are some descriptors I wish I'd used in the first place instead of 'autism':

* On the spectrum

* Extreme Introvert

* Socially disconnected

* Ties self-value to work-output in extreme ways

* Seeks joy from work versus social interaction & status
As a child of the 80s, I can definitely say that life in past decades was "brighter" then than it is now, although it's for reasons unrelated to graphic design. What it basically comes down to is, we used to dream and fantasize about possible futures and our contributions to it in a way that was nurtured by society. There was a general feeling that we had grown beyond the profit motive, or at least, that prosperity was increasing faster than effort.

Basic etiquette was better. Well-read people like Carl Sagan were listened to. People could have a modicum of respect in their communities as simple professionals like teachers/architects/doctors/lawyers/etc. Children were allowed to be children. We had movies like The Goonies, which illustrated the ills of society (like unrestrained real estate development) and provided a counterculture message of hope.

I'm in danger of straying into the rise of fear-based dystopia post-2000 so I'll leave it at that. I think that we can get back to the optimism of past decades, but it requires looking past the superficial and understanding that real prosperity is more about opportunity and a feeling that we're all equal and helping to build a better world together.
Am I wrong to find it concerning that Africa and South America has yet to report a single case?
Interesting read indeed. I remember this time when I came back from a long vacation period during which I had not travelled. They were all disappointed to find out as if it was their problem, and they all gave me looks of sadness mixed with annoyance or disappointment. I was so embarrassed, and yet I had had a good holiday doing nothing.
"fixing our own planet" is not a problem of resources. It is a problem of politics. Most of the people working on space (Musk included) are not that good at politics. They are working on hard problems instead of impossible ones.

Agree. And richkid can only found X startups in their lifetime.

If they play the VC game, returns are still extremely variable.

If they play a bigger game, then they start to be playing the same game as other players that the public can invest in (directly or indirectly) i.e. no advantage.

Could also be a comment on hardware accelerating the difficult bits of some software. A web server could potentially take advantage from hardware accelerated TLS for example.
If you have to ask, then it is probably not your cup of tea.

Think of it like the guy in Firefly hunting down the Tam's. He is convinced he's doing work to create a paradise for everyone else, ostensibly in the hope said paradise will never have a need for someone like him.

People who engage with the apparatus do so because at some fundamental level, they have reason to believe the work has to be done, and many take on the responsibility of doing it to spare others of the burden of having to do so.

If you haven't lived or experienced something that's lit that spark, it generally means that someone else is hard at work trying to keep it that way. Some people never experience it, and most of the ones who have had that spark lit that I know tend to hope those around them never do. It changes you. Most I've talked to are non-committal as to whether the change was good or bad, but almost all felt it was their duty to step up.

The main assholes are Youtube, not CBS. CBS can request shit like this and they are expected to in today's copyright climate. Youtube clearly does not believe in fair use. That's what it boils down to. It doesn't matter that fair use is protected by law or anything because Youtube can do what it wants with its platform. So fair use is essentially up to the platform. In other words, it really doesn't exist anymore for people who are not willing to host their own content.

Thanks.. now I have another rabbit hole to dig into... ;-)
Yeah I'm not saying it's easy just convenient. Ring stations are a bit tricky because they have to be quite big before you stop experiencing appreciable differences in the 'gravity' between your head and feet which would probably cause some novel medical issues. I was mostly thinking about the long term once we have people living their whole lives in either location having some gravity even at a fraction would make Mars more hospitable for long term living.

In either location the initial construction will be very intensive/expensive in space you need to launch or refine and assemble vast amounts of material where on Mars there's the option of a small starter base while you dig tunnels out for the main living quarters. [0]

Either path is definitely difficult I'm just trying to highlight the ways Mars is less of a leap because it's another planet and we don't have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to things like extracting and refining metals or every single industrial process that makes the modern world tick.

> It would also take forever to actually thicken up the atmosphere, so you would probably want to be careful how much you go pulling CO2 out of the air to grow plants if long-term viability is your priority.

I don't think this is actually a huge concern making the atmosphere livable without a suit will take an incredible amount of engineering and like on Earth while we're talking about raw elemental materials the amount humans can possibly use pales in comparison to the amount available. [1] Any project like that will dwarf anything we've done to date.

[0] With several intermediate steps like building habitats out of processed rocks from the surface for example.

[1] There are rare exceptions I know of like Helium where the main issue is still cheap supply not actually running out.

==factor in tech jobs aren't super stable (or as stable as people think they are)==

Which industry's jobs are "super stable"?

==layoffs happen frequently, the average tenure at any one company is only a few years, and ageism is rampant.==

Are average tenures low because tech companies fire people or because people are leaving for even better jobs? (my anecdotal experience says the latter is more true)

==annual performance reviews regularly involve getting let go for a non-insignificant number of people.==

Again, which industry does this not exist? Have you ever met someone who works in retail?

==this is hardly a "company for life" role or industry for most.==

Do these still exist?

> it does not have to be flawless, it just has to statistically cause fewer accidents per kilometer/year than what human drivers cause in a similar situation (which is already non-zero, and in some countries actually quite high).

Even though it logically makes sense, there are some nuances to it, most prominent of which is: When human drivers cause accidents, they are held responsible by the legal system. Who's responsible when your car made the decision? Is it Tesla? Is it the driver? Society is probably not going to accept a small improvement over humans while all the legal burden goes up in the air. It may demand a much higher improvement to compensate.
Does this actually save much time? I thought it was the throw mechanic that was slow, rather than just creating the exception?
Thank you so much, I missed all of that. :)

Monday, June 18, 2018 > SCHULTE was previously arrested on August 24, 2017, on charges relating to his receipt, possession, and transportation of approximately ten thousand images and videos of child pornography. In March 2017, members of the FBI had searched SCHULTE’s residence in New York, New York, pursuant to a search warrant and recovered, among other things, multiple computers, servers, and other portable electronic storage devices, including Schulte’s personal desktop computer (the “Personal Computer”). On the Personal Computer, FBI agents found an encrypted container (the “Encrypted Container”), which held over 10,000 images and videos of child pornography. The Encrypted Container with the child pornography files was identified by FBI computer scientists beneath three layers of password protection on the Personal Computer. Each layer, including the Encrypted Container, was unlocked using passwords previously used by SCHULTE on one of his cellphones. Moreover, FBI agents identified Internet chat logs in which SCHULTE and others discussed their receipt and distribution of child pornography. FBI agents also identified a series of Google searches conducted by SCHULTE in which he searched the Internet for child pornography.

Because each individual car is not truly autonomous when it comes to learning and improving diving based on it's specific geo location. I am not talking specifically about Tesla, this goes for all automated cars...

We have to be able to admit that we aren't ready to launch thousands of these cars out on streets at this point. They have NOT been perfect.

There are tons of issues beyond just the quality of the AI. Software development and updates, vehicle maintenance, planned obsolescence of models, Legality, ethics, ownership... tons of other issues not hashed out. The combination of all of those issues makes autonomous vehicles near impossible any time soon, unless we ALL want to give up our right to own personal property and submit our safety to being test subjects. I'm not willing to do that at this point as a development manager myself.

The world would have been a better place if Microsoft's latest move was to adopt Firefox instead of Webkit - it would have encouraged diversity in the browser ecosystem.

Unfortunately given the history of Microsoft & Firefox this was of course impossible due to Firefox being a derivative of Mozilla/Netscape - one of the biggest battles in technology history, which Microsoft won following a savage no-holds-barred battle. There would have been alot of people very unhappy if Microsoft has adopted Firefox - such a move would have been truly ironic.

Tech salaries aren't risk premia:

If tech salaries were risk premia, you would expect the expected value (weighted average over all foreseeable futures) of compensation packages at startups to be higher than those at established tech giants. This might be true, but it doesn't seem obvious: there are often comments on HN doubting the claims of high packages at tech giants, suggesting the commenters aren't getting paid more at their more risky (p(fired | laid off | shutdown)) jobs.

Software engineering salaries are high because there's competition for the 'best' software engineers. In a competitive hiring market, the absolute upper cap on compensation is the marginal contribution of an additional engineer, less some percentage to account for uncertainties. That marginal contribution is high at the largest tech companies, so salaries are high. Other companies can either pay high, too or, if they can't use a software engineer as efficiently (e.g. because they don't get as much leverage from software, or if their engineering is poorly managed), they won't be willing to pay the market rate.
AI Weekly Update 2/3/2020
I'm not sure about what they've said in the past, but their site is pretty clear about the current state of Autopilot / Full Self Driving: https://www.tesla.com/model3/design#autopilot and for a more in-depth description: https://www.tesla.com/support/autopilot

Adaptive ("Traffic-aware") cruise control is actually an Autopilot feature, not FSD. Of course, Autopilot is a debatable name in itself, but Tesla does not market cruise control as FSD, at least not anymore. (I don't know if they ever did or not — honestly I didn't follow Tesla news until like 3 months ago.)

The closest thing to self-driving you get with the FSD package is "Navigate on Autopilot", which is something akin to "self-driving on highways only in good weather conditions". It can also drive around a parking lot on its own if you're supervising it, and it can supposedly park itself, though I've heard Autopark does not work well.
I'm no expert in arcade games but often the case with niche assets is that the cost of getting them off the premises can outweigh their market value, and assets are only worth something to creditors if they can be sold to recuperate accounts receivable.

For example via my employer I technically own a large multi-engine aircraft that is worth some $70 million dollars but requires significant repairs, engineering and refurbishment to restore to airworthy status, to say nothing of the cost of logistics to actually get the thing to a repair and overhaul facility. Even the cost to move it to a disposal facility (shredder) is prohibitive and requires significant logistics.

So it languishes in an aircraft grave yard providing a valuable service as a bird habitat.
What on earth is with this website?

Literally half the page is covered by a massive photo.

I expected scrolling further down the article would rid me of it, but it doesn't - furthermore, it's aligned to the right instead of the left, which breaks my brain while I'm trying to read it.

I can't imagine any benefit to this layout. Shrinking the screen causes the article to display properly, I learned, and I couldn't find a Reader mode...

Great article - extremely poor formatting in Desktop mode.
Yeah, it is far from perfect.
It relies on people in mass, and collectively, to want good things.

That said, it is a hell of a lot better than most of the alternatives.
It's still absolutely trivial to dump these though. Especially in the case of Chrome. iStealer is a classic script kiddie tool designed to exploit this.
That would be the worst consulting experience for the company and I think you can easily tell a different between a test and outsourced work.

Also that wouldn't likely save time. If the task will take someone 2h, I'd have to spend more than that: describing the task with all the relevant context, providing a mock of the environment it needs to be plugged into, reviewing the result, fixing any issues, changing it to match the internal style, and also waiting for the solution itself which may not even arrive any time soon. It's not like every (or even most) candidates will produce something you'd want to keep.
