For those interested in more detail / explanation, the paper below does a good job explaining the basic idea of how this works, but with only a 1st order approximation for the mantissa bits. The first order approximation reduces the calculation of exp to just one multiply and one add - which are often combined into just one instruction on modern processors.

I don't really see a difference, as most of the consummer products are built in China and get shipped anyway...

I'm not denying the environmetal impact, but that's not from Ali Express, it's from us building everything there because it's cheaper.
Oh, this is really cool! :) I recently made something similar (also uses TFjs for the head tracking): https://compassionate-murdock-82fdbb.netlify.app/ (source here: https://github.com/ath92/blazeface-css-parallax)

Yours seems a little faster/smoother/nicer though, so props for that. I used CSS to place the 3d objects though, so that might have something to do with it.
> ip=$(dig +short chromecast.lan | tail -n 1)

This line requires some mdns server setup I believe. I didn't like running avahi and thought there should be some super simple client for this, but after searching I didn't find anything.

I wrote up 10 lines of go which spits out chromecast devices as json and use jq to get the appropriate IP. Works quit well and now I have a fairly seemless way to play videos to my chromecast from qutebrowser.

yes. in my opinion though, windows 2000 was the pinnacle.

it had the user experience of windows 98 but was also a lot more stable.
That would have been relevant if they did not use "contractors" on their premises. "Contractors" work on their, FAANGs premises, report the bosses employed by FAANGs, but are technicaly hired by likes of Tata, Wipro, HCL etc. They bring their employees at the lower rates from India, or hire at lower wages Americans, who is willing to work for less, such as recent graduates. So yeah, curtailing H1B abuse, and then, extending the program if necessary is right thing to do. In any case abuse of laws should not be tolerated, even if you believe the law is outdated. It either has to be repealed on kept and enforced.
First of all thank you for creating bulma. I love using it and I use it for all my projects. And for me it’s much better than bootstrap because it doesn’t come with any js

I never knew you are doing so many things apart from bulma. Please keep bulma active. Thanks for the insights.
Fake batteries can cause explosions and exploding iPhones are bad for Apples reputation. Furthermore, iPhones are by now stolen pretty much only for parts as the iPhone itself is already protected. Sure, it'd be better if they offered replacement parts. But DRM is actually good for product safety and theft protection.

Software purchasers in a lot of enterprise IT are contractually and legally required to carry such insurance in the US. The problem is that the organizations usually impacted are similar to people refusing to pay for car insurance - ones that keep trying to skimp on security so much for legit budgetary reasons (small town police departments come to mind) or because they are institutionally so incompetent and covering it up (Equifax) auditors and actuaries would have trouble pricing their insurance correctly.

"Siloviki" are not exactly KGB officers, "silovik" is a name for every security, military or intelligence serviceman which is accurately described in the linked article https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jun/20/west-p...

It's fun to see how Guardian keeps playing Chinese whispers.
Firebird 3.0.6 sub-release is available
That seems unlikely, I reckon it would probably decrease the total population rather than just spreading the same population over more land. In which case the decrease in land required for animal feed would probably outweigh any increase in space per animal. Note that I said 'probably' a few times, these kind of global changes can have unexpected consequences (not necessarily bad ones, mind).

Besides I'm pretty sure the US isn't currently optimizing their farming to use little land. If you were to compare the US and the Netherlands on output per square mile of arable land I reckon you'll find that there is still quite a bit of leeway in increasing production.
Very good information to get great performance. It would be nice if it explained how much to go for for a given WAN speed and LAN requirements. The links I have are 100Mb/s symmetrical so spending 250€ on the recommended router would probably not help compared to the 70€ Archer C7/AC1750 I've installed in a couple of places already.

It would be awesome to have a simple table somewhere that described what to get based on WAN speed and OpenWRT support. Add some affiliate links and it could be a nice income stream.
Unless one of the cases is manufactured under considerably different environmental standards and locally that isn’t the case.

The higher price on Amazon is due to two factors - local reseller markup and expedited shipping.

Heck many AlizonExpress sellers will have multiple listings for the same product at different prices based on how fast they’ll ship.

So we can safely assume that both items ship from China.

So we can more or less safely assume that both are shipped from China.

Now when you wait 4-6 weeks for a delivery from China you are essentially waiting for them to fill a container, when you pay more for a shipping you pay for the extra shipping space wasted by expediting your shipping.

This is because of how international shipping economics work, international shipping is economical when it’s full to the brim since shipping companies have a flat tonnage tax.

This means that shipping companies are taxed based on the total tonnage capacity of their vessels not the actual amount or value of the goods they transfer.

Unless you source something locally in a manner that it’s actually environmentally more sounds that statement is false.

And don’t forget that even buying locally doesn’t guarantee any better environmental outcome, for example buying a 3D printed case form someone on Etsy is likely just if not more polluting than buying an injection molded case from China since the filament, resin and heck even the 3D printer itself came form China.
Off topic but would you suggest reading Snow Crash. Its from 1990s and i was wondering if it would still be relevant.
South Korean Government Turns to Blockchain Tech to Securely Store Clinical Data
You are ignoring that the Union was established 150 years ago, but the agreement is changing over time. And like every other country, the US is trying to modify it in a way it sees profitable for themselves at the time.

According to your wikipedia article in 2010 the US blocked increases because they were on the winning end of the treaty. But as unforseen changes actually made them lose money on the deal, it was suddenly unfair and out of date.

One thing I learnt in a thread on HN a long time ago and that I use a lot to just keep working on side projects : Make sure you stop half way through a sentence / line of code.

Don't finish that article, or don't stop with code that compiles.

The reason is stupid simple : It just removes all the blockers of starting working on the project again. It removes the initial step, which is usually the hardest. Come in, finish that function and make it compile. Boum, now you're in the flow just keep going :).

Also, it's ok to stop side projects if they're not fun any more. Stop beating yourself :). You most likely learnt in the process, which was the original goal.

EDIT : Not meant to be taken as a silver bullet at all! Just a small trick to keep a 'live thread' between you and the project.

The "unfair advantage" is not one sided and otherwise considered developmental aid for developing countries (as developing countries, rising them out of poverty, seems to be the best overall strategy for humans). The classification of china as developmental country is complicated, but you can't just look a Beijing skyscrapers and go "yeah we're done here." (Or you can, but that's not very helpful, one option would be GDP/c https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28PP..., although, thanks to the huge population, the gdp overall is quite high) also it depends on the time of evaluation.

Until recently the US was on the winning side of the deal, too (according to wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Postal_Union#Shiftin... ) they even blocked an increase of dues in 2010. Until they started to lose money in 2015. Now it's unfair and a decades old treaty (even though it is adapted all the time and serves valuable reasons).
Are you kidding me? It was not unfortunate. Microsoft was the biggest opponent of open formats.

MS tried completely shut down and end open internet based on open standards. Their Blackbird project attempted to make create completely closed alternative MSN (The Microsoft Network) with closed publishing, search and software. Instead of Wikipedia, we would check out things from Microsoft Encarta.

Nothing I would call "groundbreaking", but I do salute the warning about Russia's money and influence being happily accepted by the west right now. As somebody who grew up in communist eastern europe I fear this russian strategy apparent success.

A completely corrupt regime which puts incredibly little value on human rights is agitating people in the west with accounts of (comparatively ) minor incidents and imperfections in western systems and institutions. This includes a lot of things from anti EU sentiments to racial tensions. And it's working if you ask me.

I’ve been looking at this for a while and not seen anything better than chromecast :( (For the specific use-case of “streaming from phone / laptop to TV”)

I really wish Kodi had a chromecast-server plugin, as Kodi is way better at everything else in the media-playback realm; but having a single-click button for “take this video I’m viewing on my phone and show it on my TV” is just so convenient that it’s ended up becoming the default way of viewing media in my house.
That's just assuming the conclusion.

If you stipulate that one group of people are voting to perpetuate oppression and another are voting to end it then you know who the good guys and bad guys are, but that's not how the people voting the way you don't want them to would characterize the situation.
I use floating point for currency (decimal(19, 10) in db, double precision and rounding functions in memory) and there is nothing wrong with it.

Putin and his friends do a pretty decent job of running an old-school oligarchy. That's not really the problem, there is nothing groundbreaking in their approach.

The problem is that the "Western" bloc (if there ever was such a thing, really) is currently ruled by elites that fundamentally share those values: weak collective institutions, strong private corporations, the bottom line as the final measure of virtue, and exploitation of the weak as socially acceptable. That means "we" end up fundamentally unable to oppose putinism on a principle basis, let alone in practice.

That's how we end up with what the study reports: Western interests fundamentally welcome Putin's money and influence on a systemic level. "We" now run the world on gangster capitalism, and Putin is fairly good at playing that game. In fact, we will see more and more Putin-like figures appearing as time goes on.

Unless we significantly change the game, Putin will keep winning.

Yeah if your objective is differentiate between domain and file system path then that’s one way of doing it. That might help with parse-ability, especially if your protocol allows for an optional subdomain which may or not be there, so having a clear separation b/t domain and path might be useful. Hard to know without having been there when these decisions were being made.
Philosophical Argument That Effectively Convinces Subjects to Donate to Charity

This is not how it works. You cannot "shift" cases into summer. The cases you "shifted" into summer will become the origin of the second wave - i.e. the more you have it now the more you have it in October or September. I also keep hearing about "hundreds of thousands of death due to side effects of quarantine" and have not seen a single reputable study regarding that.

The lowest death rate first of all is still very high, and secondly, it is because the demographic has shifted towards younger population. It will go up back soon.

The best thing to do now is a) universal masking; b) close the businesses, causing biggest trouble, such as bars.

> Except there are no such places for the most part.

That's a pretty amazing claim to make. The United States is not the only wealthy country in the world, and does not have the highest standard of living in the world. Western Europe is comparable. I would argue - for many reasons having to do with social solidarity and public goods - that it generally has a higher standard of living than the US. There are lots of other places scattered around the world, like Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and don't forget Canada.

> China's wages don't remotely compare

Neither do prices in China. Moreover, as the difference between the US and China narrows, the attractiveness of the US over China as a place to live decreases, and the US will benefit less and less from brain drain out of China. Places like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen already have a GDP/capita of around $25k, and actually feel much more modern than American cities in many ways. I'm sure this dynamic is not unique to China.

The US had an incredibly good thing going for it - the ability to attract the best students and workers from around the world. People just take it for granted that the global tech industry is concentrated in Silicon Valley. Many people believe that if the US restricts immigration, all those tech jobs will remain in Silicon Valley and be redistributed among Americans. That might be the case for a short time, until companies adjust and move operations abroad, to where the labor force is.
That's an interesting data point: personally I've never found side projects to have any effect on getting a job - recruiters and interviewers don't care in the slightest about your side project, Github profile or whatever and will just "follow the script". I just see side projects as interesting for their own sake and a way of learning about things you'll never get the chance to in your day job because it's not in the company's wheelhouse.
I think this implied that it never was down for him before when it was reported to be down. Which is exactly my experience, too. I've seen a lot of GH down posts here - it never was for me. Now it's the same.
Coincidentally, I've spent countless hours during the Covid-19 isolation looking for good to excellent textbooks on Engineering and Computer Science. Perhaps I can share them in the near future. These are some excellent books based on my findings for your particular requirements.

1) For general applied and engineering Maths book perhaps you can look into both textbooks by Prof. Kuldeep Singh and they uses Matlab but Octave should be fine [1].

a) Engineering Mathematics Through Applications
b) Linear Algebra

2) For signal processing especially for communication I'd highly recommend "Digital Signal Processing in Modern Communication Systems" by Andreas Schwarzinger. It introduces the modern communication systems from the first principles to the more applied OFDM systems with examples that can be run using either Matlab or Octave. Just get the book it's really good even if you're not interested in communication systems.

3) If you want to learn more advanced applied engineering books on signal processing I'd recommend reading books on time-frequency techniques both linear and non-linear. For introduction check the book "Explorations in Time-Frequency Analysis" by Patrick Flandrin. Time-frequency analysis is most probably going to be pervasive very soon for increasing the accuracy of AI and ML by providing better intermediate processing of data features.
