>so it seems likely that people who would buy a 2WD small SUV are a significantly different demographic than those who would buy a 4WD small SUV.

Exactly. Nissan and FCA will finance anyone with a pulse and they make cars at low price points. The Juke is just about the cheapest AWD crossover so you get a statistically unflattering clientele driving it. You can see the reverse situation with the Dodge Journey. It is known for being the cheapest people hauler on a per-seat basis and also has a very unflattering set of customers. The 2wd is statistically more dangerous than the 4wd presumably because the riskiest buyers don't care how many driven wheels it has they just need something with a lot of seats for cheap to haul around their massive family.
Interesting. But, from the article: “So far, researchers have only seen Tycoon targeting Windows in the wild.” That was my point. The article you link to is an example of how you can avoid ransomware by not using Windows.
You were asking how it is to be interpreted, and it is as I said: a family of 3D functions each characterized by 3 parameters. What you are saying is technically correct, but misses the point of what I was trying to convey.

Edit: also, three of the parameter (x, y, z or r, θ, φ depending on whether you are using a Cartesian or spherical coordinate system) are continuous, real, and unbounded (well, unbounded in a Cartesian sense anyway). In contrast, n, l, and m are discrete integer-valued quantum coefficients that obey the relations n > 0, 0 <= l < n, -l <= m <= l.
Seems to me it'll be fine if they get the same restrictions as iframes. As far as I can tell the main difference is that there's a way to go 'through' the portal, rather than merely stare at it.

Credential Digger: Using ML to Identify Hardcoded Credentials in GitHub
Ask HN: Do you struggle to complete a side project?
In my experience, shipping a side project (especially as a solo founder / developer) is wrought with countless hurdles, not the least of which is the union of technical implementation with proper design.

In other words: I've had a hard time making a site / app "look good", rather than making a site / app "work". Like a JS-powered SPA without any CSS: it technically "works", but doesn't have a UX to match.

I'm wondering if this is a felt need across the bootstrapping dev community, or if there are other hurdles that folks run into that are greater hindrances to "complete" (i.e. deploying something on the internet in between MVP or medium-fidelity based on an original idea)?
better memory model over Memcache. If one of our memcached servers dies, that data is gone. Redis can write to disk, optionally. We mostly use redis and memcache as a cache to save load from the db. Even with dozens and dozens of dedicated read hosts, we can knock over our dbs if we are not caching data.

>As much as I like driving a car into the ground, I think getting a new car every 10 years is the sweet spot between safety upgrades, frugality and shiny new toy.

The balance between frugality and safety upgrades is my internal struggle. Growing up, I remember it being a big deal when cars hit 100,000 or 120,000 miles. That's pretty common now, which makes the safety aspect more important.

I average ~12,000 miles/year, which is pretty close to the US average of 13,500 miles/year. With cars lasting so much longer than they used to, buying an older low-mileage car means you'll be driving a pretty old car by the time it becomes high mileage.

I'm going to run my 2010 Civic for awhile longer, then probably look at a ~3 year old car with ~80,000 miles. I can run it for ~6 years, end up with ~150,000 miles, then sell it to a high school kid who is only going to put 5,000 miles/year on it.
I bought a Fibre Channel LTO-5 drive and HBA off eBay a few months ago for $211.81, including cables and a power supply. New LTO-5 tapes are $8/TB right now, whereas the cheapest spinning disks are around $15/TB. At those prices, the break-even is about 64 TB, anything more than that and tape is cheaper.

The situation is that there is a network called Visa Debit that some banks use for their network for debit transactions. It may seem new, but it evidently dates back as far as 1982.

I'm in Canada. With one exception, no bank client card I have had (which were all usable for debit) had any Visa logo on it. That includes current ones.

The exception is one TD client card.

The situation is explained here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_Debit#Canada

TD is one of the banks that offer Visa Debit. This TD client card is also Interac-branded, so I'm guessing that the card will use the Interac network for domestic transactions, and in that case its Visa Debit personality does not come into play.

Those are not the only two networks for debit/ATM in Canada. There is also "The Exchange":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accel_(interbank_network)#The_...

(used by a lot of smaller banks and credit unions).

The Canadian Credit Union Association also runs an ATM network called AccuLink.

It's important to know which network your card uses if you want "ding free" transactions. E.g a "The Exchange" card can be used at an "Interac" ATM, but there will be a fee.

This position, like most city judges, is not elected. TFA makes this clear:

A few months after Judge Hayes’ suspension ended, his term as a municipal judge was set to expire. So, the Montgomery City Council took up the question of the judge’s future on March 6, 2018. On the agenda of its meeting: whether to reappoint Hayes to another four-year term.

Everyone on that city council knew, for years, what a terrible judge they had hired. This seems to undercut the idea that appointing judges is some sort of solution to the problem of injustice in USA.

Git Repo of Police Brutality During the 2020 George Floyd Protests
For every cop held accountable there are hundreds more committing the same crimes who are protected by the state. While cell phones are a new invention where the protected class in the US is now seeing the oppression that many citizens have been living with, it’s not new. The state has known the whole time and intentionally hidden it.

Doing the bare minimum is just PR, eg: cops kneeling with protestors and then an hour later using chemical weapons and beating on the same peaceful protestors.

If the distinction is:
China addresses challenges to oppression with censorship while the US addresses it with marketing and ineffectual “concessions” then we’re saying the same thing.

> If anyone here is in the know with the AR/VR scene, could they shed some light on why AR hasn't taken off yet?

Because demand is too low, and prior attempts at hyping it up with marketing ended like google glass?

I do work in an engineering consultancy that did a dozen of VR/AR toys over the last 5 years.

Some of quite big brands around use our tech, and engineering, though NDAs, NDAs, NDAs...

There is no magic trick behind any of product on the market. Physics, and optics of AR/VR glasses is very simple, high school level simple. Just too many companies want to make add "smoke, and mirrors" into the optical scheme...

Making AR/VR goggles power efficient, and lightweight enough for daily use is possible even with current day tech. It's not much of a secret now that there is an IP blocker on a critical technology owned by Beijing University that shuts everything down.

Microsoft, Facebook, Apple experimenting with lasers now is all about them trying to work around that blocker.
Good find. There were also tweets from the reporter, who said in effect "what do you [Scott] have to hide?" about the SSC story.

Scott's attempt to spin it as a positive story in his farewell letter is, I think, an attempt to both influence the NYT in that direction, but also to keep the focus on the doxxing, and not on why SSC might be controversial. He's trying to keep that part out of the public debate entirely, which seems smart.

Also: I'm sorry you're being downvoted so badly, I don't think it's deserved.

I don't see a huge problem with this. An American company created and patented the drug. How is it bad that the US bought the supply? If the United States was _hoarding_ the supply and there was no need for it the US, then that would be morally suspect. But there is a need in the US, and while that need doesn't outweigh the needs of others, the Unites States shouldn't be expected to forego its access for others at this time.

An Open Letter to the React Team
One of the more morbid yet profound aphorisms that I know is:

Safety regulations are written in blood.

FAA regulations are often based on finding a new way to break an airplane that they hadn't diagnosed before. Safety ratchets up as new failure modes are discovered. If cars keep showing up pancaked it a particular way, then guidelines change.

Until those failure modes are regulatory capture, at least.

In the 90's the collective wisdom said you could shock people into doing the right thing, and on several occasions they preserved a badly t-boned vehicle to illustrate why drunk driving was such a bad thing.

These days the pillars are huge and well-connected. I'm not sure you can crush a car that badly without a commercial vehicle. They test for that stuff.

Most cultures assimilates some kind of consciousness altering chemical into the culture. The US would be a healthier place if we could take a measured approach to mind altering substances. For example the US does young people a disservice by banning socially mediated alcohol drinking. The result of our ban on alcohol is that teens and college students drink in dangerous places. You find the worst examples of violence and sexual assault on college campuses in the places where underage students go to get drunk. The fraternities and houses offering underage students alcohol don't care about the people they're getting drunk. The most horrible stuff that happened at Penn State wouldn't have happened if the drinking was organized by responsible caring people.

Fan-fing-tastic.

Coming to the table with low inherent trait extroversion and even lower trait neuroticism I was primed to do just fine.

Mix in a decent home office space coincidentally already setup, a job that lets me work from home, a great wage, absurdly low rent, decent savings, a caring partner also fine working from home, and top it all off with living in a country with a more help-others than individualistic culture that happens to be in a more progressive swing of the political pendulum, and I feel like a right lucky S.O.B.
I disagree with the risk-taking part.

Our system is built on predictability. You can trust things to work a certain way, and you can build on top of that.

A predictable world affords you tighter tolerances and fewer verifications. This allows you to spend your risk tokens on what you build, and not on compensating for the shaky foundation.

I crossed central asia alone on a motorcycle. I couldn't trust the drivers, the police, the food, the water, the border guards, the petrol, the exchange rates, or anything else really. It was very stressful. You couldn't possibly build great things on such a shaky foundation.

The problem isn't that judges are elected, but that it's nearly impossible for voters to make an informed decision.

In the last election, I tried to find out about the local judges on my ballot and could find virtually nothing.

The media has been neutered in to an infotainment machine, so there's very little investigative journalism left even on issues of national or international importance, much less on small issues like who your local judges are and how they rule.

> SDF ray marching does a point query against the BVH

Aah, alright. I've written a ray tracer that uses an (L)BVH before, so I'm familiar with how it works for ray tracing. What I couldn't figure out was how you'd use an acceleration structure for ray marching. Now that you spelled it out though, I suddenly think I get exactly how it would work.

> ... ray marching has a slightly higher complexity in practice than ray tracing since it takes multiple iterations ...

Great reply, thanks! It made a lot of sense.

> ... there are some amazing tricks you can play with ray marching to reduce the number of rays, and because ray marching often better utilizes a GPU.

Interesting. Now I'm gettin quite interested in exploring ray marching more.
