As I tend to complicate things more than necessary before making them simple [maybe some techo-twisted Churchill quote about Americans], I shall find it interesting to include additional findings against fulltime "with nothing to do", parttime with wanting more [or less], and so forth.

Mega-Meta comprehensive, so to speak ... but maybe we need an AI assist for that or something. I don't know.
Developing a successful product requires learning from your [potential] customers, which can include yourself if you're a customer, what is needed most. It definitely should be an interplay, a loop of development and feedback if your goal is a product. If you're just starting, sometimes you have to develop a toy before you can get meaningful feedback or before you learn anything useful about a problem, but often you can get feedback on ideas without developing anything but the idea.

For me, there's a strong tendency to develop and avoid feedback, because I love developing things and feedback is relatively hard to find and painful to receive. Definitely avoid this trap and seek feedback as early and often as possible.

I've kind of mapped learning to customer feedback here. IMO When you're developing a product, this is the type of learning that matters most because without feedback you'll tend to learn things that might not be useful to your customers.

I wouldn't worry too much about the public email. There are a few reasons people do this. Sometimes companies do this to appear smaller than they actually are, sometimes, people are investigating on behalf of another business, sometimes they have businesses and forward their email to their personal, etc. etc.

I dunno why you haven't encountered it, but it's a real thing.

I remember using one editor perhaps 8 years ago, and if I tried multi-cursor mode with more than ~40 insertion points (totally reasonable to edit 40 similar lines at a time), it took a couple of seconds to register each keypress.

Similarly, other editors wind up choking on syntax highlighting, or large files, or find & replace, or documentation lookup, or whatever.

The "mysterious difficulty" you mention is often literally several seconds of latency with, say, a 30,000-line file, whether it's with opening, scrolling, editing, or the other more advanced features already mentioned.

I'm honestly pretty baffled this isn't something you've encountered before. This isn't about hertz, it's literally about entire seconds or large fractions thereof.

The best solution is to not have as much JavaScript. Use a smaller framework. Use fewer dependencies. Lazy load things when you can.

The solution is to have a performance budget at the start of your project so things never get so bad.

I'm not actually sure requestAnimationFrame() in a browser ever gets you >60 fps. At that point, honestly, you'd probably need an independent render thread (doing some degree of interpolation) and stick to a 60fps logic tick. Which you can theoretically do in JS using web workers, though I know message-passing incurs some serious overhead in that case.
Come now, that’s a bit harsh... he didn’t nitpick at all, just asked for some pointers!
I've worked with several start ups and my experience is the exact opposite of what you said. Due to costs of scale, it is virtually impossible up beat cloud architecture. Ignore the fact that you can get started for free it next to free with cloud. Even as you grow, it is difficult to do it for cheaper.
I like to think every last bit of that sort of information could at least improve the quality of GPS navigation apps using OSM data. I use OSMAnd for navigation and w.r.t. map completeness it's pretty good but not great. I think much of what's lacking is the finer details, thigs like many houses not being numbered.

I've seen a lot of quests on StreetComplete that seemed a lot less relevant, like the number of stories a house has, or the style of roofs. I guess that's useful for 3d maps, but personally I don't see much value in that relative to mapping addresses and street rules.
I have written some beautifully elegant code in my time.

I just looked at Reclaim. That's exactly what I tried to do by creating a Google account just to join together 6 other calendars, and that's the calendar I sync to my phone (it works but... meh. definitely a hack. For example, the annual holiday calendar is repeated about 18 times somehow).

Definitely taking a serious look at Reclaim.
i get that, i just think it'd be nice if they could be used for run-time stuff too – why create a gap between the compile- and run-time parts of the language? it seems like desugaring it into a loop should be pretty straightforward¹; it'd just be a concise replacement for some uses of std::accumulate.

though as mentioned, i don't really use C++ much. are there reasons why this wouldn't work well for run-time stuff?

Remember that NDA stands for "Non Disclosure Agreement". That agreement could say anything. If you sign the agreement, then you are bound to it (assuming the agreement is legal). If you don't sign the agreement, then you aren't bound by it. If you manage to get your API working on a console without needing any help from the console producer, then there is no reason to sign an NDA. However, in many countries reverse engineering (even for the purpose of interoperability) is illegal... So this means that you have no way of getting your API working on the console without signing the NDA. The companies lobbying to make copyright law the way it is know exactly what they are doing...

WWII, the country came together, dealt with rationing for years. The draft and rationing forced everyone to sacrifice.

This disease has the potential to kill 3 million Americans, 70 million people globally, and that’s only if we spread it out.

Why aren’t we all sacrificing so that the poorest, most vulnerable population can have sufficient funding so that they will have a roof and food and clothing? Why isn’t the federal government sending monthly checks? Where’s my tax increase? Where’s why aren’t I being drafted to work in health care or food delivery?

All our government has asked of us, begrudgingly, is to stay inside for a while, and we can’t even do that without whining.
> I don't agree that "it would be better if we had smart people also going into other, more underserved fields that are in dire need of innovation" -- better for whom according to who?

Better for humanity as a whole. Do you seriously think that if money and status weren't factors, every one of the "smart people" that went into finance or law would have exactly the same choice?

Of course not, and they would have excelled in another field with less competition and advanced our knowledge in that domain instead.

Are money and status actually contributing to human progress? Barely, if at all. In some ways, it has even caused regress.
Phoenix is the only web framework I like, because I can understand and control its control flow in a way that I can't with, say, Rails. Plus running on BEAM is great - the whole Erlang ecosystem has always felt like what OOP hype-men promised us in the 90s and 00s, but in reality.

That's what Little Richard did. When he claimed that everyone that came after, copied him, he was right. He showed what was possible in a way that no one else could even conceive. The slack-jawed response from AC/DC's vocalist? Yeah, that was everyone.

I mean, I personally don't even particularly like his music, but I absolutely can acknowledge what he did, and just how unique his contributions were. I think his death is absolutely worthy of note on a site like this one.

While the "what did you have for lunch" question may do a bit to surprise the interviewer, there is probably a more valuable go-to question that can be fairly generic in any sort of interview type experience.

"If you were me, what would you improve on (work on, learn next, etc etc)?"

This is beneficial both for the interviewer and you as an interviewee. It lets the interviewer consider you specifically in the context of "are you missing something", and gives them a good opportunity of letting you know where they see your holes/flaws. It also let's them know that you are willing to learn, and trying to understand how to grow and change.

The interviewer will be asking themselves these sorts of questions after the interview anyway, so why not try to get their feedback right then and there, with a potential opportunity for you to correct them, if they think you are missing something that you actually have.
Experience is different than authority and I don't think the parent comment was complaining that the first reply didn't have the authority to say what they did. I assume they were saying that you shouldn't place a lot of importance on someone with all of three seconds of experience in this problem. Especially when compared to researchers who have been thinking about it for decades. There are probably good reasons why they think boiling the problem down to so few dimensions is useful that I don't fully understand because I have literally no experience in psychology.
Pulling the Trigger
Yeah, I suspect this is one of those things where when you Google it, people are mostly like "why would you ever need pooling in JS," but then it turns out pooling is used under the hood in a lot of game frameworks.

I know Ecsy[1] is using it, which makes sense because that's targeted at apps building for WebVR which really cannot afford GC pauses, so I guess it must have some merit.

I guess I could try monkey-patching immer to have it pull from a pool when creating new objects? Theoretically if it just used nominal typing (re: classes) to pick objects out of the pool and overwrite all the fields on it, as I assume it normally would do with a brand-new object, this could work out okay. Could just do pooling on the top-level component objects and deal with GC on any nested objects to simplify things (especially because nested objects probably wouldn't have classes associated with them).

The Java SWT toolkit uses Cocoa native widgets under the hood. So it is a native UI toolkit. That said, like parent said, native doesn't necessarily translate to a user experience of being performant.

The rest of the application, being in Java, will often means it will have your typical JVM high memory usage and slow startup times.
We just launched our store. The concept is simple: guide a deep learning model to create a one-of-a-kind design.

While the reason could easily be that not everyone has the horsepower you're used to (I assume 60FPS at 4K requires a certain level of hardware), people often mean something other than high speed when they say "snappy": ease of use, good descriptive UI that gives you feedback on actions and their results, certain features that simplify tasks such as integration with other tools (git compilers, etc.).

Also add other factors such as remote editing, say on a VPS with 512mb RAM with too many daemons running.
I was in college at UCSD when the 14-Mb shareware DOOM was released. I finally found it (after frantic searching) on a public FTP server somewhere in Australia. I started the download, then went to dinner. After eating, I came back to both the completed file and a salty email from the Aussie sysadmin admonishing me for saturating their connection. The next few days (and my GPA for that quarter) were a bit of a blur. Good times. :D
Huh? This is a quote from the website:

> Welcome to the MDN learning area. This set of articles aims to provide complete beginners to web development with all that they need to start coding websites.

It has a nice little sidebar that says "Complete beginners start here!" and goes on to describe HTML, CSS, and JS.

So, can you please explain to me how this website is "not well-guided for a beginner"?

Udacity's CS253 "Web Development"[^0] by Reddit co-founder Steve Huffman is really good. It goes through implementing a lot of things (cookies, etc.). It does that with Python on Google App Engine, but Google App Engine supports PHP so if that is what you know, you can go through a lesson, and then try to do that in PHP.

Any reason you want to learn PHP?

What is against my point? Wearing a mask reduces the chance of getting the virus and of spreading the virus. It doesn't eliminate the risk. Masks are not impenetrable. You can touch your face even with a mask on. You can touch your face after you take a mask off. The only way to prevent getting the virus completely is to live alone, stay home, and have enough food to prevent going out.
I'm interested to try it.

I've been watching people do photogrammetry for a while now, but the results have seemed really bad. When you remove the texture, the underlying model always seems off. This is important for doing object->mesh->modify->3D-print workflows.

This implementation looks a bit better than the rest.
I don't know that this is that notable, is it? Surely there are dozens or hundreds of suits all over the country from businesses quibbling over their non/categorization as essential?

It's a pandemic. No one wins here. No policy can be completely fair. Hell, I have opinions about everything and I genuinely don't know that I can find one about this situation.

That reminds me of Amazon - I've been "unbundling" my purchases from Amazon due to shipping delays. I still think it's a useful place to find /which/ product I want to buy, but once I figure that out, or if I already have, I head over to the product's own website and buy it there. Examples of my recent purchases - diapers, toys, herbs and spices. In all of these examples the product has shipped within a day and received within a few days.

How people misread it really shouldn't be the point, if we could establish that it's a misreading (a big if). Like if someone at google wrote about the harms of toxic masculinity, talking about the cultural pressures society puts on men, should it matter that a bunch of men will think it's calling men toxic and be pissed off?
So I guess I could share it on the private forums and link to it whenever someone is interested. Definitely a pain in the ass compared to even iOS as a walled garden.

Something positive :-)

As a relative novice when it comes to multiplayer game programming, your comments have been enlightening to me.

I’ve grown my experience over the years in other fields to a point where “don’t trust the client” is nearly second nature to me. So whenever I’d dip my toes into programming a game, and look at multiplayer server side stuff with puzzlement, trying in vain to work our where or how I’m supposed to be validating the legitimacy of the clients incoming game events. It never before occurred to me that doing this kind of server side validation might be too burdensome. The notion that the backend code I was trying to understand had been written with minimising cost per player hour as a positive metric is now so face-palmingly obvious that I am still stunned at how I never realised and literally having a string of “oh and that’s why that bit there..,” as I write this.

So thank you very much for your comments.
Off-topic: I haven't downloaded many legal PDFs lately, but whatever legal software was used to make this one seems to obfuscate the text? The PDF seems like a normal text PDF (as opposed to scanned images), and you can highlight lines of text, but copy-pasting it results in gibberish; find-text-in-document is likewise borked. Using `pdftotext' generates a mostly empty file, though Google Docs conversion manages to extract and preserve the text.

I bring this up because the document has several URLs which are non-clickable and non-copy-pastable. I know PDFs can be encoded in away in that the visual layout of the content is completely different to the underlying data, this was just the first time I've seen such obfuscation.

edit: here's a normally-behaving copy of the PDF from one of the SF local news stations:

https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/1...

Assuming the TV station has uploaded the PDF straight from the source (Tesla's lawyers, or the county court system), then maybe the site wholemars.com re-processed its copy of the PDF? In any case, the text/data obfuscation is pretty interesting and I sure hope it doesn't become a standard practice!

(I don't blame the OP for posting the wholemars.com link; that was the first I saw of the lawsuit too, at least on Twitter)

I think (the original) Deus Ex is an interesting example here, because it doesn't fit easily into any box.

Normally I agree with the GP, and prefer the joyously silly/unashamedly dumb approach over the 99.9% of more 'serious' games that are tediously mediocre at best. And on paper Deus Ex should have been pretty annoying: it is a slightly janky mix of lowbrow conspiracy fiction and quasi-highbrow philosophising. But somehow -- obviously partly because of the still-fresh-20-years later gameplay, but also because of something I can't quite pin down in the synergy between gameplay and story -- it works amazingly well.

It really nails the feeling of existing in and shaping an exciting world, and I think every component is crucial, from the (blocky) environments to the (ludicrous) characters to the (somewhat awkward) mechanics, and of course the 'every conspiracy theory is true' plot. Obviously it has a sense of humour too, but I don't think it would have worked if it were constantly taking the piss out of itself.
I have to wonder if there's any rules that would be violated by crap like this in the courts. It's 100% to prevent other lawyers from copy-pasting things, and that's absurd since it's defeated by OCR. It's extremely not accessible to the blind as a result.
Including employees there.
It's cheaper to sue and win.
