Yes! Just take a lot of photos over a couple minutes (depending on how busy your scene is) from a fixed position, or just a video if you're lazy, then use imagemagick and combine them using "median" (NOT average). It's not always perfect but can deliver most of the time. That way even a command line dork like me can do it. :-)
i agree, complete garbage.

what is worrying is that the percentage of 'serious/critical' cases seems to be stable at 20%. Regardless of fatality rate, if this holds, and the virus becomes pandemic it will impose a significant burden on health systems.
This was not the case with the Spanish flu, which disproportionately effected young adults[1].

This is maybe one of the few relevant use cases of Blockchain technology: Cameras can add video checksums to a public audit log secured e.g. by proof of work or another trust mechanism. If enough parties archive this log it will be very difficult to forge videos without tampering with the actual recording device, because duplicates as well as tampered videos created at a later time would be easy to detect in the data, and the replication as well as proof of work would make it very difficult to forge the entire audit log.

It's unfair if they're normal employees, but fine if they're contractors/have their own company.

When they're spending all their working hours on one topic they're taking a huge personal sacrifice which is invisible to their employer while at the same time raising the expectations towards their colleagues. If there's for example two such maniacs in a team, the rest can say goodbye to promotions and raises even if they're actually just as good but don't sacrifice their life at the altar of programming.
Because it make the lines longer and long lines are bad. If it results in a horizontal scrollbar, it is terrible, but even without it, there is a reason papers are often printed in column format and most coding rules specify a maximum line length (often 80, though 120 is becoming popular these days, with big wide screen and all that).

So long lines need to be split. Which is difficult to do properly and results in more lines, and more lines mean less of the code is visible at once and that makes it harder to see the big picture.

But to each his own I guess. Anyway, you can try it out yourself. Just take the code, do the replacements and see for yourself.
Wow, hadn’t heard of Meshroom before, amazing functionality.
I don't need to prove it to the compiler. I can prove it by a higher level understanding of my own system. So long as the compiler emits the memory barrier when I need it to, and the other thread stays in the state where it won't be reading the memory in question it doesn't matter what the compiler knows.

Something very simple that has worked for me for many years and across many smaller sites is a custom form field that requires some simple, static answer, like "Please input 42 here:", plus even some Javascript that fills in that form element and hides it, so the typical user does not even see it (while it still works with Javascript disabled).

JPEG 2000 is actually quite popular, for example any movie you see in a cinema is encoded using JPEG 2000 – they don't use video codecs for digital cinema, but encode each frame separately, to avoid video compression artifacts.
Also in medical imaging, nearly everything is using JPEG 2000. Apple products have supported it for a long time.

JPEG XR is also known as "Windows Media Photo" and "HD Photo" and has been supported in the Microsoft ecosystem since Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 9.

JPEG XS, XL and Pleno are of course much newer and will still have to be battle-tested.

But yes, none of the newer JPEG standards have reached the popularity of the first JPEG codec, which is by far the most popular image format ever.
> The golden rule in making understandable code is making it as short as possible.

If that were the case people wouldn't even bother with assembler mnemonics, comments and white spacing. People would write their Javascript / CSS minified from the outset and code golfing would be a best practice rather than a niche activity that some developers do for fun.

I do actually get the point you're trying to make in your post and you do raise some valid points but that sentence is massively overreaching and thus works against you.
Why wouldn't you want your job to look easier?

Because you want to be highly paid?

In your warehouse example, both guys are being paid hourly, but the forklift license holder makes more, because he is clearly both more productive and more skilled.
Maybe it gives off a "foreign company" vibe, but the "creepy" and "is going to leak all your data" is you, I think.

I certainly have never heard anyone say "oh thank God it's Facebook, my data is safe".
The premise is good, I think (I'm not the target audience), but the copy and positioning need a lot of work.

The positioning reads to me like: "Look at all the awesome features we've built!" Gems! Coins! Filters! Profile details! I have no idea what any of those things are, and frankly it's a lot to take in before even downloading something like this.

I'd look at those features through another lens: "Ever feel like the connections you make on other dating sites are shallow? Use Blurrychat to connect on a deeper level. [Then references science that shows how hiding images produces better outcomes in relationships.]" The focus should be on how this is better than what's come before — how it produces better outcomes, not on how people can get Gems or whatever. They'll figure that out later.

Totally subjective impression: the image at the top of the page is creepy to me. It's something about the guy. The way he looks at the much younger woman does not give me the warm and fuzzies. Quite the contrary, actually.

Last thing: I think the brand in general is very techy. It'd be great for a Slack plugin or a hip new CRM, but I think it's too clinical/cold for a dating app. Check out other dating apps' sites — they're filled with images of couples hugging, etc. Again, they focus on outcomes, not on the app. (If you want something edgier, check out OkCupid's site, which to me strikes a nice balance between edge and warmth.)
I agree gamification should not be used as a selling point, even though, of course, it is hugely important it seems to keep your users hooked.

But are you sure gamification does not sometimes also drive users' behavior on e.g., Facebook and Instagram?

Normalising nuclear testing is a terrible idea! This is simply seen by unpacking the blandly neutral statement "nuclear testing" to the more accurate "practice mass murder by use of large explosion using a complicated device".
> This was not code written to be approachable by any other random team member without further context, it was written for a different purpose entirely.

Ah, let me quote: "Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute." – Hal Abelson

And I believe he is right. If you don't write your programs for other people to read, then they not worth being written in that way. Always consider that next person, who needs to read and understand your code. If you don't, then you are not much of a great team player at all. It's great you can do some brain acrobatics, but not much use, if the only one on team being able to understand your code is yourself. I don't know how many 1 person software developer jobs there are still out there, but I guess the number is vanishingly small, compared to team jobs. I would not want someone in my team, who does not pay attention to keeping things very readable.

> Perhaps people would be less reluctant to show their code in public if it were not so often criticised for falling short of some criteria that the author was never intending to meet?

True, you got a point here. But do we want this display of code? However, personally, I'd probably not miss reading such code and maybe it would even be good for the entire profession of software development, if such code was not displayed as something to be achieved but rather something to be shunned.

It takes longer to type and read. All the little seconds fiddling with the mouse, popup menus, hand eye coordination wastes your time and prevents muscle memory. Its hard to reach max throughput with long variable names.
If you burn less, you lower the yield. Burning more means you turn more mildly-radioactive plutonium or U235 into intensely radioactive fission products. Strontium-90, for example, accumulates in bones and has a half-life of 28 years.
Because it makes no sense? For all the uses of 'mainland China', it would be simpler to just say 'China', with no loss of clarity. Adding pointless words just for the sake of it, especially when it seems that the author(s) don't mean what the word says, is bad writing.
Steal This Intellectual Property
So as the other comments are going to say, this doesn't work because of noise and linearity issues, temperature sensitivity etc. But there is one place which is trying to bring this back: there have been attempts to do analogue neural networks, where getting the exact value isn't so critical and the system has a certain amount of noise correction by its very operation.

The last greatest flight of pure-analogue control systems was Concorde!

(There are a few places where multiple signalling levels are widely used; things like MLC flash and some of the faster ethernet specs. I don't think anyone's dared to do arithmetic on them before quantizing to digital, though.)

Not with that attitude. Women respond positively to confident men.
How you say it matters more than what you say.
With lots of "security best practice" crypto constructions you can quickly find yourself needing to use unreviewed and unsupported libraries. This is a different kind of security hell.

It's worst when you're publishing an API and you need to support web clients, plus android, IOS and ideally not make things super difficult for customers using say, erlang.

As someone who used to regularly recommend things like "Use a high level / simplified library - try keyczar! Or crypto_box! etc" it has been disheartening to see how almost any even slightly niche choice will quickly devolve to developers having to pull in a bunch of dodgy looking objective-c code written say, 3 years ago by a single unknown developer.

It's usually worked out better from a whole-system perspective to stick with very widely supported standards (flawed as they are) and maintain a checklist of known footguns. It makes me sad.

Of course if your crypto is opaque to clients / not part of your integration surface then you've got a lot more wiggle room.

Perhaps what I've taken the long-winded route to getting to is, for anything where interop is important, I believe that popularity is absolutely valuable due to network effects and momentum.
While it's true that social problems are complex and multivariate, what gets missed in the American context is the importance of virtuous and viscous circles.

So for example the net cost of normalising college debt, and the regulatory exceptions to bankruptcy etc around this form of debt, is not simply a generation entering the workforce in debt. It's massive concrete measurable inequality between those who can afford to work in internships (unpaid or underpaid) and those who's loans prevent that. It's exclusion from education for those who cannot take on enormous debt (or won't be granted loans). It's a shift to crude utilitarianism in education generally, because the insane cost of a degree means you'd be insane to do one that doesn't 'repay' its perceived value etc etc.

This is true again and again for the social issues created by the American economic-social pact (call it neoliberalism or what have you). From the knock on domestic violence, abuse and intergenerational trauma caused by the warrior culture of Americans gargantuan military, to its normalisation of militarised policing.

What all these issues have in common it a cultural unwillingness to tackle what are often substantively simple root causes. Issues which have been dealt with successfully in other cultures.

So in confusing how the electorate can be trivially manipulated by playing into their psychographic preferences and prejudices, with the relative complexity of social issues you're actually conceding to the delusion that politics is entertainment. That it's not candidates positions that matter, but the perception of those positions. That really most problems are simply impossible to solve (rather than politically unfeasible in the American context). That the political confusion and anger of the present moment is exclusively generated through persuasion rather than the justifiable (though often misdirected) result of concrete solvable issues.

We can disagree about the causes of social issues in America, and their solutions; but its inarguable that there has been no effort to systematically test and deploy policy interventions at a national level in any kind of evidence based way. The map in America, has become the territory.

SO is perfectly happy to accept better answers, especially to those which have gone stale and perhaps no longer applicable.

In-fact : Answering without giving a proper reason for the solution is frowned upon mostly.

In most cases it doesn't make a difference if you have costs of $6 or $60 annually, it's still marginal. I'd say speed it's way important - use the tools you know.

It's better to create a startup in 6 days than for $6/yr.
Lots of countries don't have a dating culture, so you don't approach a stranger and propose a date. Instead you are supposed to introduce yourself, befriend them and then see if the interest is there and mutual to move beyond friendship.

On x86 the architecture guarantees memory read/write order. They are not allowed to make some important optimizations because it would change observed memory read/write. DMA or SMP makes no difference to this.

On most other architectures the CPU can and will change memory read/write order. As a result there is a lot of multi-threaded code that works correctly on x86 that fails when run elsewhere.
> The virus has been in the wild in a number of countries outside China (Singapore, Japan, Thailand, etc), yet to date local transmission has petered out and there's no sign of massive outbreaks happening. This argues for a much lower R0...

While I agree with your other points, the idea that transmission in Japan is petering out is wildly optimistic and not what epidemiologists in Japan are saying. Unfortunately, you can couple that with the possibility of transmission in states where the medical infrastructure is especially weak (in Africa, for example, where millions of Chinese people work).

Wish we had more people talking this way these days. Instead, they’re militarizing space.

The vibe I'm getting in this thread is people are recommending services that are free for developers.. in which case, I recently discovered https://free-for.dev/ which is a mammoth list of such things.
I do mean index.html! Personally I prefer the url structure of example.com/about as opposed to example.com/about/ - especially when adding on anchors or parameters (example.com/about?param as opposed to /about/?param).

Relative pathing can be useful depending on file structure.

It avoids issues with directory / page naming conflicts. E.g. my images are stored at /assets/img/image.png - but if I wanted to create a page at example.com/assets this would require me to then place an index.html inside my assets directory - which doesn't seem logical.

Overall, mostly personal preference of me disliking the index.html inside directory method - It just doesn't seem like it's the "right" way to access a page. If I have a example.com/about page - I expect them to be hitting an about.html file.
Sure, but if you subscribe to the idea that Google is hiring "the best and the brightest" and couldn't pull off a lot of the hard tech if they just had five times the number of average CS majors, that situation changes very quickly, because the pool of people to replace them from shrinks dramatically.

It's not that they couldn't replace them, it's just a lot cheaper to change some policies. If you're threatened with half your R&D staff walking out over some project in China, how hard is that decision, really?

Imho, the problem is that Googlers are paid a lot of money to not care, and that works pretty well.

That's a very womanly perspective. Normal guys don't have it that easy - being direct to a lady who likes you brings completely different results to one that doesn't - easy to be labeled stalker/creepy/to be laughed at etc.

If situation would be reverse (girls chasing guys), ladies would be constantly complaining how hard is it to succeed, how afraid are they of the failure/rejection.

It takes time to build the confidence women love so much (unless you are an arrogant extrovert, then you have more than plenty). One of the reasons there are many couples where guy is much older. Not so much the other way around.
If you're going to look at gamification as the primary motivator, I think a better examples to look at are Untappd and Foursquare. Both of these apps have very clear and positive feedback loops and use gamification well.

One app encourages me to share various beers I've had with friends. Badges are a way to have fun while doing that but the willingness for me to share in the first place was the driving motivator, not the badges. The badges are what keep me hooked however because I want to collect as many as my friends. Independent of sharing, badges mean nothing to me as an end user and were never the motivator for using the app. Sharing was.
Generally speaking, I don't think you are wrong, although the use of the word "consent" is potentially confusing. There are multiple lawful bases with which you can use PII. "Consent" is one of the. Others include "contractual", "legal obligation", "vital interest", "public task", "legitimate interest". For the case of a private entity scraping a website, it is unlikely that these other bases would apply, but it's not impossible. It would be interesting, for instance, if some kind of police work might be classified under "vital interest". But generally, you will need consent because none of the other bases will apply.
