It's clear from the presentation that it's not possible to run the CPU at full power and the GPU at full power at once. This means the CPU will be stealing performance from the GPU or vice versa when the system is pushed to it's limits. This means the things you can graphically do are directly connected to how much the CPU is loaded. This will be very hard to optimize for. Since seemingly unconnected physical pieces of hardware are influencing eachother.

The only way I can see this going well if this balance is fixed by the developer. E.g. the developer specifies I want 60% of the power budget to go to the GPU and 40% to the CPU. If this is handled dynamically by the PS5... oh boy.
> I don’t see how this makes any employee productive.

I'll contribute a counter argument, if only because I don't see it mentioned much.

I'm the counter argument. Since I'm at home now, with kids, if I'm not directly on the phone with a coworker or boss, I'm likely not working. Recently our boss mandated that webcams must be on hereon-forward... before today, I would sometimes just have airpods on for the meeting but otherwise be doing stuff (cooking, clean dishes, other chores). Honestly this part I don't really enjoy -- because rarely there is stuff said in the meetings for which I need 100% of my brain head-on.

But that's just me with all of my mental disorders and problems, who needs a helicopter boss to be productive. You may be different.

Colour does have three dimensions, though. You cannot describe human colour perception without three dimensions - frequency and magnitude is sufficient for pure waves, but saturation is needed to match colour perception of the impurity of a given tone.

So colour as perceived by humans is indeed three-dimensional.
I disagree. Did you write code for it? It was terrible as a Java library. Very low level, forcing you to manually manage resources like it was C.

The API design was also terrible, seemingly designed by someone who had never seen Java before.

I mean, yes? OTP is a framework—a paradigm for writing your code in, essentially—but it's an optional one. That's why it's split out from Erlang itself. You can write Erlang however you like. Most people choose to write it in the OTP paradigm. But sometimes that's not the best choice (e.g. the type of code that leex/yecc generates, does not obey OTP principles, nor would it help it in any way if it did.)
Yes. This is why weev went to prison. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weev#AT&T_data_breach

tldr: AT&T has an account status page that, for mobile devices, did not require any authorization. Something like /status?phone=8367492738 and you see the account data for that phone. It was guarded by a password if you navigated to it on a desktop/laptop, but it was unsecured if you navigated to it with a mobile device.

He spoofed the user agent string to make his laptop say it was a phone (this is extremely common, there is a button in your browser to do this in one click, and the spec that defines UA string specifically says not to use it for authorization for this exact reason), and dumped the account details from every url.

Despite these being pages publicly accessible on the open internet, he went to jail for years for unauthorized access under the CFAA

Well, I mean, that and (I'm sure) the fact that he was a notorious asshole and the authorities would rather make an example out of him than out of a more sympathetic defendant

Show HN: Planning Poker for UX Teams
I lived in Hawaii and surfed there for some time.

I had a conversation with a well known shaper (surfboard maker) about this and some of the things which went on on the North Shore. He said : "In your 20's you try a bunch of stuff and you don't die. So you think you can get away with it. Most of the time, you don't die. Then as you get into your 40's the law of probabilities catches up with you and your either die or have a near-death experience, and then you back way-the-hell off".

I.E. the probability of a serious problem is moderate to small, but you can have long runs of winning at dice. But eventually, unless you change, it will get you. Several famous people have gotten this message, including Jack Johnson (who was on the trajectory as a pro surfer before he became a musician - incident at pipe). Jamie O'Brian, etc.

fizz "fizz"
buzz "buzz"
i)))

Is this not lisp?

> and am a bit disappointed the county caved.

I'm not sure that it did. It seems like their plan all along was for the factory to open next week:

> Monday. Newsom also said the developing agreement between the county and Tesla had been for the plant to reopen next week. It was not clear why Musk was unsatisfied with the prospect of even a short delay in the plant’s reopening.

> County officials also were envisioning allowing the plant to reopen soon before Musk made his abrupt move.

> Earlier Tuesday, Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty, whose district includes Tesla’s Fremont plant, said he was “confident” that health officials and Tesla would have reached a plan to have the plant reopen with a May 18 target date, according to Shawn Wilson, his chief of staff.
> Now paper documents aren't immutable either...

BTW this is why numbers in contracts are often written “1 (one)”: because in the age of pens it was easy to change “1” to “10” or “4” or “one” to “none”

Also why checks do this — checks are actually simply contracts, which were standardized in the US a bit in the 1920s (you’d get a check form, fill in your name and the bank name, then the amounts, etc; current check design With preprinted bank info dates back I believe to the late 1960s.

Honestly, if a company wants to disobey a government edict that's for the good of the people when there's no law to back it up, so be it; I hope the people and estates of those who are injured or killed can use the judiciary to sufficient ends to become somewhat close to whole again.

I don't follow. The TLS handshake negotiates the appropriate ciphersuite. With the exception of dropping SHA1 in TLSv1.3, how was the macOS SSL module not able to negotiate a handshake? There should be plenty of suites available. What did Darksky ask for in the TLS handshake???

For example: I'm still running Mojave, and here's what I see from the handshake with the Darksky.net site on :443 ...

I guess this might sound unreal, but I literally have not looked at AAA game graphics in over 10 years, so this looks absolutely stunning.

Back in 2009 my 360 died. I had been an avid console gamer before that, but I never replaced the Xbox and in 2010 went off to college, where I mainly played N64 with friends as well as games on my phone.

After I graduated I was busy with work and life and never got back into the gaming cutting edge. Sure I played StarCraft once in a while for old times' sake as well as different old Total War games cause they're awesome, but never the sort of major AAA release I used to play all the time as a kid.

I also never really looked at modern graphics since I didn't have friends who played modern games and never watched videos showcasing what games looked like.

So coming from 2009, this is absurdly good.

Edit: why the downvotes?
Not sure how all the services work, but I believe the drivers are given delivery job offers where they see information about the delivery location and payout estimate, and they're able to accept / reject jobs based on this info. Therefore it's not necessarily that there weren't drivers available just that the drivers chose different jobs. It might be that you're in an area that isn't particularly profitable for deliveries (homes or restaurants too spread out). I believe you can also tip more / tip upfront to make it more likely that drivers accept the job. Although these services present tipping as an optional gratuity, if you don't tip up front it could lead to your job sitting in the queue forever since it's not as appealing to drivers as other available delivery jobs with included tips.

>Food delivery is hardly a new idea.

Not only that, but honestly, most taxi companies, at least in my area, will go pick up food, liquor or other things and make deliveries. There's also a couple local delivery services that specialize in just that.

They've been doing well here during the lockdown, especially with liquor deliveries, or so i've heard. Things like uber and just eat aren't really that popular or used here though. Just the few chain restaurants use them.

Another trick is in stead of tracing multiple bounces per ray at once, to compute one indirect bounce every n-th frame using intermediate results from the previous (not the current) frame and then spatio-temporally smooth the results, possibly with on-screen bilateral filtering of the past few frames. I think one can see they do this when they move the light source. It takes a while for the indirect bounces to fade out. Perhaps they use screen space ray tracing for this (meaning no indirect bounces for occluded geometry).
This is history in the making. Just leaving my trace here :)

Met some of the kids of the first cohort doing the dev degree as I majored in CS at Carleton U. It was right before an exam. It seemed to me that most of them were just gaming the tests the best they could because they had absolutely no time in between working & their course load.

Obviously this thing was an experiment, so I'm sure they're going to reevaluate based on the feedback. Also, this was an anecdote of only meeting them once. I did not see them in any classes because I wasn't going to any (was working full time). Their insane load hardened them for sure.

Since he uses the word "worthless", how does that compare it to folks who graduated in History or anthropology or (running joke in the US) graduated in English?

Think of this:
People in poor country, need to do what it takes to better their prospects. So they go for the one industry that pays relatively better. Nothing illogical about it and seems perfectly rational to me. And I can see similar trends in the US too. A lot of lamenting on "how I wished I learned to code, major in CS, etc.", given how drastically better the tech industry pays. https://levels.fyi ICYMI.
