My best side projects have been ones that I can walk away from at weeks at a time and pick back up when I'm interested with no ill effect.

Projects that require constant attention always burn me out after the initial building enthusiasm ends. It basically becomes a 'job' at that point, but with no real upside.
why use iso 8,000 as input and not the camera native ISO ?

Pretty great example of how it is it to spend other people’s money. The cost difference in two servers with 10-20x SAS drives vs a performance comparable SAN is not very close.
Yes, therefore it is better to turn on the lights!
Congrats to the AVA team - looking forward to exploring the release
It is really hard with FFT to get a good frequency representation. I've described a bit more on the app website why on front page. It's basically like deciding whether you want to detect the frequencies well, and loose time resolution, or if you want better time resolution, loose the ability to detect low frequencies :) What I've done is kind of like wavelet transform, but "real-time", and I have one extra feature for "high-resolution" frequency detection that goes in addition, and I've done the math for that myself, I haven't seen it anywhere... Wouldn't have time to do the patent at all, I have another main job :) Ideally, I would rather make something more impressive with it, and then "sell out" :)
In large part, caching in GraphQL stems from client-side tools like Apollo or Relay, which have a fairly sophisticated cache ability.

https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/caching/cache-confi...

https://relay.dev/docs/en/network-layer#caching

You can also implement things like Dataloader to batch/cache your requests:

https://github.com/graphql/dataloader

Hasura in particular implements two forms of caching. While not directly data-related, it does cache both the GraphQL query-plan and SQL query-plan with prepared statements:

https://hasura.io/blog/fast-graphql-execution-with-query-cac...

Hasura's architecture ensures that 2 "caches" are automatically hit so that performance is high:

GraphQL query plans get cached at Hasura: This means that the code for SQL generation, adding authorization rules etc doesn't need to run repeatedly.

SQL query plans get cached by Postgres with prepared statements: Given a SQL query, Postgres needs to parse, validate and plan it's own execution for actually fetching data. A prepared statement executes significantly faster, because the entire execution plan is already "prepared" and cached!

So cache on the client-layer, with cache on the server layer, especially if you implement something like Relay which has the ability to fetch only individual fragments, leads to pretty tiny and performant queries.
> simply because all competitors are blocked.

International competitors may be. Till this day, I didn't see something come close to what WeChat is offering in China.

WeChat is like Chrome, it is so big and ubiquitous in China, it can dictate standard.

The online backup of messages itself is a pain point I agree, but local transfer is possible, though a bit cumbersome.
lol, yes, you discover how mathematicians think, but what they think is still an invention.

In the end, I agree that if we expand the definition of the universe beyond physical world to contain "everything" then yes, every invention is also a discovery.
A PKI provides us with a globally trusted answer about identity only. If there is no global consensus about identity then you don't actually have a network.

If you don't agree that this is news.ycombinator.com and believe instead it's 4chan or Reddit, then the Web PKI can't help you, and "improving" the Web PKI to some people decide this is Apple and others that it's PornHub is pointless. If you want other names, go build your own network.

In RPKI the identities aren't DNS names like in the Web PKI they're number resources - IP addresses and Autonomous System numbers. Again though, if you can't agree with everybody else about global identity you can't participate in the network.

If you believe maybe 1.1.1.1 is the IP address of your PC and everybody else thinks it's a distributed DNS service run by Cloudflare, there's no purpose to trying to allow us to "agree to disagree". We're right, and you're wrong, go away.

Having global agreement about identity doesn't magically mean we all agree on who to trust, just because I agree with you that Reddit is Reddit, doesn't mean I agree about how much faith to put in a post you saw there.
No, because it's an online website; and, if people are allowed to upload things, they will upload things.

And people, in general, suck.
Chat vendors have no incentive to support standards based interoperability. They all want to leverage network effects to maximize switching costs and keep users confined to their walled gardens. The only way to break this would probably be government mandates.
The treatment of warehouse workers and of people with different non office jobs is a strong reason why I will never work at a place like Amazon or Walmart.

Glad to see some people sticking up for each other in these times especially.
You have barely given context to your question so it's hard for me to give you the benefit of the doubt. Playing devil's advocate, how exactly do you know they are incompetent? There's more to success and bringing value to an organization than hard technical skills.

In a typical business environment there are usually multiple stakeholders who attack a given problem from different (often times opposing) angles. This doesn't automatically make one side more correct _or_ more competent than the other.
XMPP does it, Matrix does it: https://matrix.org/bridges/

...honestly most of the open chat protocols end up with bridges since it's easier to do there than with the proprietary ones. WhatsApp for example will ban you if they see you trying to connect with a third-party client; using the Matrix bridge actually involves running Android with the official client in a VM.
Eh, fair point that the epidemics were different scales, when I first saw that comparison they were still fairly close in terms of impact to the States.

Still, it seems to me that the Trump administration originally clearly wanted to go for a 'herd immunity' strategy and changed it due to political rather than practical considerations. I'm quite sure that if it had the relationship with the fifth estate that, say, the Biden campaign enjoys, there would have been very little political fallout as a result. The press has managed the truth far more aggressively for other administrations.
Did FB provide the option to just take them all down in the case where there does not exist a nude photo of someone? Or just take them all down unconditionally?

If not, was it too difficult for them to think of this option?
Unless Cryptocurrency is as easy and safe to get & spend as traditional currency, "everybody uses cryptocurrency" ain't gonna happen. If someone steals from my online bank, I'm insured against loss. If someone steals from my online crypto wallet account, I'm out of luck (and a ton of money).

(insert "it's your fault for trusting other companies with your wallet!" comment from the crypto kiddies here)

Keeping your crypto wallet in off-network storage and having to dig it out to spend money or whatever is the digital equivalent of keeping stacks of cash under your mattress. Does it work for some people? Sure. But don't pretend it's what the average person wants to do.
Agreed, i'd rather be the last CEO that caused all of this and still got a golden handjob worth 60 mil.

Jim Bridenstine

Jim Bridenstine really knows how to talk politics. I must say I very impressed with his tenure so far, the NASA Administrator is not really all that powerful of a position but given how much opposition there was to him being a Trump selection he does do well.

This is such a vital step to make LEO a commercial domain. NASA is spending way to much money on LEO and to make any moon/mars future possible that needs to be commercial. NASA only want to launch max. 4 people per ship, but it can take 7. So the price could really be cheap pretty cheap to allow a fair amount of non-NASA groups to send up people.

Axiom Space got the contract extending the ISS and a more commercial ISS could operate more efficiently in the longer run.

Eventually, with the cost of Cargo Space transportation coming down, we could actually build Space Stations in Space and make them way bigger.

See https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/579359/5132 for the most common architecture. It's roughly the architecture of tmux and screen. It's roughly the architecture of http://jdebp.uk./FGA/bernstein-on-ttys/sess.html , too.

I have a somewhat different, layered, architecture with finer grained components. The terminal emulators, multiplexor, input method handler, and realizers are all separate processes, and the communication among them is via (memory-mapped) regular files and FIFOs.

* http://jdebp.uk./Softwares/nosh/guide/user-virtual-terminals...

It's more rigid in the multiplexing layer, with little notion of creating and destroying inner terminals on the fly and no notion of windows or panes, because it was initially created to be a user-space workalike for the kernel virtual terminals in Linux and FreeBSD, that are derived from SCO Multiscreen. So there's just the notion of a fixed set of virtual terminals, presented one at a time, with the Alt+function-key switching and a replacement chvt command.

It's more flexible in other ways, though. The components of the system are replaceable, and don't have to be put together in this particular way. There's no reason that one couldn't write another type of emulator, handling a completely different suite of escape and control sequences, and just plug it in alongside the existing one. And there's similar flexibility in the other layers: one can (and I do) simultaneously realize the same set of multiplexed terminals onto a remote terminal over an SSH connection as well as directly onto the local machine's framebuffer and keyboard(s). It could be realized onto X11, or (if someone finally documents the undocumented Mosh protocol) a Mosh client.

Indeed, there's no reason that a more complex multiplexing layer couldn't be substituted, providing something more like the screen/tmux paradigm, with the multiplexor starting up subordinate shell and terminal-emulator processes on the fly and compositing the lower screen buffers. But I didn't set out to reinvent screen/tmux. I set out to do virtual terminals in user-space instead of the kernel, with application mode code almost none of which (apart from the stuff that grants access to the framebuffer and keyboard devices) needs or runs with superuser privileges, and where the components are isolated even from one another.

See the StackExchange answer that I hyperlinked to for more on the actual terminal emulation part.
I am definite considering releasing the algorithm, it's currently in C++. But I want to build something on top of it first, so that its application can attract more attention. I've tried releasing the "algorithms" before -- nobody cares if you first don't show something cool can be made with it...
Dr. Hannah Fry's 3-part BBC documentary series, "Magic Numbers: Hannah Fry's Mysterious World of Maths," explores this very question in the first episode, "Numbers As God."

The episode description reads: "Documentary series in which Dr Hannah Fry explores the mystery of maths. Is it invented like a language, or is it discovered and part of the fabric of the universe?"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bn6wtp

She interviews a number of prominent mathematicians and scientists, such as Brian Greene, and they certainly don't agree one way or the other in the invented/discovered question.

(Alas, I now see that the series is listed as unavailable on the BBC site but I watched it, I think on Amazon Prime or maybe youtube.)

Forget about Point Barrow. I live in Upstate NY, one of the best Apple growing regions in the world. I’m eating an Apple grown in Chile while local orchards collapse.

Food has more to do with capital and commerce than anything else. The inefficiencies of consolidated global scale distribution require squeezing every penny on the production side.
Is there a meaningful speed difference between creating a 2d drawing engine using "gpu compute" vs going through normal libraries like directx or opengl? I'm fairly ignorant around what is exposed in the compute libraries vs traditional drawing libraries.
There's good antibody tests at this point, that validate with no false positives on serum predating COVID-19.

Just today, new data from Santa Clara County:

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.14.20062463v...

Stanford estimates 2.49% to 4.16% seropositivity, versus approximately 1000 reported cases as of that date-- so about 75x the actual reported cases. Of course, the way that Stanford recruited their sample means that people who were previously exposed might be more likely to report, so I think this overstates things a little, but...
> Also, in big company environments, teams using React always end up in messy code that's not maintainable because of the freedom the framework gives as opposed to teams using VueJS.

This is debatable...

> But, if you are a company, it's easier to find React developers than Vue developers.

... and this is probably one of the reasons why you've found more "messy" projects in React than in Vue.

In other words: people who know what they like (and hence probably do a good job with it) pick either Vue or React. Teams that don't know pick React because it is more widespread, easier to hire for, etc.

Pizza was made popular by Italian immigrants in New York. The article’s pizza was never widespread in Italy. Pizza is the definitive Italian-American food, not Italian.

In my opinion, “Neapolitan” pizza is not particularly good. They just throw blobs of stuff randomly onto the crust. You might as well eat all the components separately. I think I t’s only popular as a status symbol.
Problem is that greenhouses are the most laborious. Can’t drive a tractor through to plant and pick everything.
I don't follow your argument. If the epidemic is more widespread than initially thought, why do you assume that the effective transmission rate would potentially decrease? If anything, the transmission rate was higher than assumed and, due to the higher number of infections and how they spread exponentially,it would only ramp up.

And additionally, there are reports of reinfections among covid19 patients who were found to be cured.
Yes, the ads accurately described the study. Several friends of mine participated (I live in Santa Clara County).

Of course there is selection bias, which is why they make adjustments to make the sample better represent the population (see the abstract for details on this, or read the paper for all the details, there's well-established science behind these adjustments and it's up to the reviewers to be sure that they did it correctly). The point is that "they only found 50" is quite a large number compared to the number of confirmed cases.
Actually Ivermectin has been studied for use on viruses for years and generally found effective. Most recently it was identified as successful treatment for Dengue Fever.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30452439

I suspect it isn't touted as a cure for the common cold because the common cold is rarely severe enough to merit prescription drugs.

This blurb from drugs.com gives a very high-level overview of how it theoretically works:

To get into the nucleus the viral proteins need to bind a cargo transporter which lets them in.

Ivermectin can block the cargo transporter, so the viral proteins can’t get into the nucleus.

This is how the scientists believe Ivermectin works against SARS-CoV-2 virus.
> Previously, Costa said Amazon attempted to intervene in the group’s efforts to organize the panel by deleting invitations sent to other workers internally, which the group claims were accepted by more than 1,500 employees.

It’s Amazon’s internal network, and Amazon’s email system, so they have the full right to control what happens on their resources.

At the same time, I find that deleting the an email after it has been sent by the sender unknown to the sender to be a kind of gaslighting, and dystopian. Having a policy to not organize using work resources might be harsh, but at least it is more transparent as in the proverbial line is drawn in the proverbial sand.
Perhaps at least a subset of people advocating software RAID have extensive experience with various high-end software and hardware RAID solutions?
No one even came close to saying that.

I had measles, didn't die from it. I also had several kinds of flu, didn't die from them either. I almost died in a climbing accident, and from drinking way too much alcohol in my teens.

Plenty of lives are destroyed by side effects from vaccines, same thing with the current lock down, where do you draw the line?

Blindly trusting science is about as smart as blindly trusting the catholic church, the issue was always blind trust.

Big pharma has proven over and over and over again that the only thing they care about is profit; and given enough money, anything can be bought in this society.

- Does the network need to see the entire image, or only an NxN subblock at a time?

- How did they obtain the training data? Is it possible to take daylight images and automatically turn them into nighttime images somehow?
Yeah, this is so engrained in me now, I find it hard to search without a "second opinion" on devices that default to just Google.

Before I answer what would I get in your search engine, that I won't get in Google (assuming I don't care if Google tracks everything i do). All I look in a search engine is am I getting the results for the things I am looking for. I don't see any difference in results between Bing and Google. But I still use Google. I felt some how I like the results on Google (the way they present). Not sure why I don't like the way Bing presents.
My comment on the Earn-it act is it's the natural outcome of unqualified US voters choosing unqualified politicians, thanks to largely inept news coverage.

There are now multiple sources of evidence pointing to a very low true infection fatality rate, as low as 0.1% in some regions. Iceland has been testing a semi-random sample using PCR since early in the epidemic, and there have been several small antibody surveys in “hot spots” showing infection rates over 15%. You can also use CDC surveillance of flu-like illnesses to estimate the total number of infected nationwide; this morning I posted an analysis of this data estimating only 1 in 40 cases were detected in March, consistent with the Stanford results: https://fivetran.com/blog/covid-19-count

Hi,

We are running the above survey to better target our new product.

We want to analyze many facets of “the need”. From Clayton Christensen’s “what do we hire this stuff for”, to sensibilities around topics that influence our selection of media or willingness and reasons to pay for content.

Moving from a paradigm of mostly free ( or rather I haven’t got a clue of how am I paying for this but the deal seems good ) to I make a choice as to what is valuable for me, I understand this is the hard work of somebody and it deserves to be compensated if I want it to be to the standards I expect.

It is 73 questions. If you think that is going to be exhausting , thanks for reading up to here. No need to continue. We value your time.

Understanding the right levers is paramount for us. It ain’t easy or we ain’t smart enough without so many questions.

Currently 85% of respondents are male...it’s totally unbalanced. I wish some ladies had the opportunity and willingness to fill out the survey.

It is in 5 languages. Choose wisely. There is probably at least one that is right for you :-)

Many thanks to all of you who took the time to read to this point.

For those who will take the survey to the end, may the fairies bless you.

Big Thanks

Julian C.

There's good news and bad news: the good news is the more cases that are found from people who didn't know they had it, the less deadly the disease is. The bad news: if it's all over the place it will be really hard to stamp it out.
