The Future of Media: Movies, the Metaverse, and More [audio]
For some time I was surprised that anyone would represent rotations by anything else but rotation matrices. I sometimes do find wikipedia useful for quick answers for maths, however agree its quite disorganised.
Go is not a replacement for C++ or Rust. It is not an actual systems programming language.
Not even close. What they want is their natural resources. Nobody in USA gives a crap about Iranian people's problems.
>> If it's silly to be pedantic about it, isn't it also silly to leave a comment discussing a change to it?

Seriously commenting on the futility of a silly a comment raises the silly by an order of magnitude.

Atomic bits of maoism in a vacumn seem silly, but the long term effects on culture and discourse are toxic even if they were wrought by well meaning but ultimately silly people in an act of semantically and historically incorrect overreach.

Fortunately we have both dry erase boards and a chalkboards to keep track of such things.
Yes, even in the US, even controlling for wealth and educational variation, I'd expect a high correlation to show up.
Isn't there also "not paid at all"?
I think there is a distinction.

A nested procedure ("function" is a bit misleading in imperative languages) can close over variables in the outer scope, but has to have its own isolated control.

A truly[2] anonymous procedure can also close over control flow:

fun hasZeros(ints: List<Int>): Boolean {
ints.forEach {
if (it == 0) return true // returns from hasZeros
}
return false
}

That's an example from Kotlin's docs. [1]

[1]: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/inline-functions.html

[2]: "truly" in the sense it's never assigned to a name, and is known to not escape its surrounding scope, which is necessary if the compiler is going to allow it to, e.g. do a non-local return.
> According to docs and endless reporting on iMessage, the messages are end-to-end encrypted in transit.

According to my rather brief examination of iMessage, you can't verify key fingerprints in iMessage. It means that Apple can install MitM on a probed subject any second, and you would never know that it is there. See:

You <-- end-to-end-encryption --> Apple MitM <-- end-to-end-encryption --> Your buddy

You have _zero_ control over it, and the only thing keeping your secure and private is Apple's pinky promise.

> The same is true for any app running on iOS/Android.

Umm, no. There are such things as open source, verifiable builds, and, yes, decentralized messaging protocols. You can take an open source client (for example, from a reputable source like F-droid), and connect to a server totally unrelated to client developer. You can run an encryption protocol where you can actually exchange public keys, verify your keys fingerprints, and confirm the identity of your chat partner. That's what people really concerned with privacy and security do. Others are satisfied with a promise that sounds good enough.
Yes and I know exactly how to do it.

- is it a part of my vision: yes
- does it get me excited: HELL YES
- do I understand if there is a need in the market: no
- do I currently have the resources to build it: no

I'd like to first secure some runway. I've been bleeding out for awhile.

Second, I would like to talk to users and if this is a serious problem worth solving and not just something that is cool. Then I am all for it ready to hit it hard.

Some things that get me pumped for the future.

- realtime collaboration
- simple keyframe animations
- vast library of templates
- guided/interactive video creation
- API for other developers and organizations to create video

[citation needed] There are a lot of other reasons why client side JS is slow, including page reflows, bad use of the network, etc. I'm not a front end dev but I have fixed many performance problems before, and I've never seen parsing CSS selectors as a bottleneck.

I've seen some data driven work like this: https://v8.dev/blog/cost-of-javascript-2019

I don't think they mentioned parsing CSS selectors anywhere. Shipping too much code is a problem, because megabytes of JS is expensive to parse, but IIUC that is distinct from your claim.
In case you also read the comments first and wonder who this is:

So sorry we scared you away! Linux has been on our radar for a while but our biggest challenge was finding a way to share code between apps without writing everything in C++. Thankfully we found Rust, a systems language built around efficiency and safety. From there we were able to build the common core we've always dreamed of and were off to the races. Please give us another chance and let us know what you think. <3
I wonder whether syncthing can use it.
Not sure about races, but one can certainly tell the difference between ethnicities; I can tell apart a Russian and an Armenian for example, with more than 75% success rate. Therefore there certainly is difference between people in different geographic areas. If people have differences in their outer appearances, there might be differences (not very large, obviously) in the way their neural systems work;denying that, IMO is a very ideological position.
This is completely subjective, but if you want reduced maintenance expenses then don’t rely on any third party library to do your job for you regardless of which side of the HTTP call it occurs. Most developers don’t use this nonsense to save time or reduce expenses. They use it because they cannot deliver without it regardless of the expenses. The “win” in that case is that developers are more easily interchangeable pieces with less reliance upon people who can directly read the code.
I tried; the house began shaking, there was a sudden eclipse and blood started trickling down the walls. Is that supposed to happen?
This looks nice and detailed.

If I had one wishlist item, it would be the exact board dimensions. Occasionally there are boards smaller than what their form factor specifies. For example, the Asus PRIME A320M-K, at 226mm by 221mm, will fit in a CM NR200, which is nominally a Mini-DTX case.

Things I am focused on are making it easy to find the type of content the user wants to create and sending the user down the path to success in the least amount of steps possible.

I think the messaging is always a work in progress. I am glad it makes sense and is clear.

Entrepreneurial hybrid engineer & recent grad (December 2019) with 4+ yrs of hands on experience. Happy to work on product, strategy, architecture or full-stack engineering. Not afraid to flex sales/ops muscles either. Growth mindset, high EQ, laid back but get work done. Strong communicator who can communicate to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.

After college I was working on my own venture but pandemic resulted in a loss of funding. Hoping to join a team where I can have an impact, learn + grow, and add value to people + product. Available on contract (project basis) or full-time.
1) it doesn't make every user of 2fa unsafe. Don't be absurd.*

2) $250MM is 10% of their annual revenue. That's extremely meaningful.

If you want an example of an overly light fine, this is not it.

* yes, I know that you will argue, in bad faith, using some absurd definition of the word 'unsafe', but it simply isn't the case.

unsafe is what happens in places (like HN) where the moderators welcome white supremacists and other people who want to exterminate a portion of the population. unsafe is not an unwanted text ad.
When you don't have to work you're probably more likely to be in a place where you enjoy it. Having said that, I wonder how much work these guys do once they're in these roles and have already proving themselves time and time again. I imagine most of the less satisfying work is delegated away and they get to spend time on whatever they want.
If you would specify the width/height of the image, you could avoid the page reflow that makes the quicklinks jump down.
Users expect load times proportional to the content expected

And how do you think that happened? It's not a chicken-and-egg problem. Web pages got fat, and users' expectations got lower. Lazy devs have trained people to expect the worst, not the best. The app ecosystem wouldn't be half the size it is if web pages worked as fast as native apps.

If you run ghostery / ublock the javascript eval time shrinks dramatically.

Are you going to be the one to explain to the marketing department why you put instructions for doing so at the top of each of your company's web pages?
> I presume this also removes them as a factor in your recommendations.

You presume too much!

Zymeworks Inc | Senior Full-Stack Software Developer | Computational Biotechnology | Vancouver, Canada | Onsite (Remote for COVID) | https://zymeworks.bamboohr.com/jobs/view.php?id=335

Zymeworks is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of next-generation bispecific and multifunctional biotherapeutics. We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Software Developer to join this team to expand and improve our scientific computing stack. You will collaborate with scientists and developers to molecular modelling frameworks, applications, and libraries, as well as helping to develop data management, visualization, and analysis tools.

Duties

• Creating and evolving front-end web applications, their supporting back-end APIs, and operational infrastructure

• Leading the development of our web stack architecture using industry best practices adapted to our unique company needs

• Depending on seniority, leading a small team of full-stack developers, and participating in their growth, mentorship and project planning along with the rest of the technical and research teams

• Actively coordinating with our R&D teams to find areas of improvement in scientific data analysis, capture, visualization and UX, and designing and implementing solutions in conjunction with other scientific and technical teams

• Integrating and maintaining the developed software as part of the entire computational platform

• Experimenting with new technologies and practices that can be integrated within our organization

Our software platform includes the following technologies:

• Elm and JavaScript (AngularJS, React) for webapp frontends and visualizations

• Go and Elixir for server development

• Python and C++ for scientific applications and modelling software

• PostgreSQL, SQlite for databases and associated infrastructure

• Git for version control and Gitlab+Jenkins for source code management, CI/CD etc.
I've had great success with Postgres FTS for some complex (i.e large, non-standard, highly specialised corpus) and basic search (very small corpus) features.

Prior to switching to Postgres FTS had to maintain a seperate FTS applications index. I would say make sure that the gain of using a seperate FTS engine outweighs the maintenance cost, given that maintaining a FTS index in Postgres can be very minimal if configured correctly.
I think it's reasonable to expect people to refuse to write software that has only or mainly immoral uses.

But suggesting that a software developer is responsible for any and all possible uses of their software, whether they could have reasonably thought of all of those uses, is absurd.

Regardless, a tool is a tool. If something has, say 60% good use and 40% bad use, should it not be built? Where is the cutoff? 90%/10%? 99%/1%?

Should hammer manufacturers be responsible for murder done using their hammers?
Is this a joke?

It says that it's "Disconnected From the Power Grid" with "Self Powered Sustainable System Including Generators" and "Taking Advantage of Water Flow for Cooling and Generating Electricity".

I can't think of a way that this works in reality. Electricity costs for the servers would be huge, and you still gotta pump water to the top of that tower.

I recently installed a 6.8 kW system on my house. The final cost was $1.60/watt for "premium" Panasonic panels and Enphase microinverters, which was significantly lower than all the quotes I got. Tesla is now competitive watt for watt, but they achieve their prices with string inverters and/or panels from manufacturers that may not be around for the duration of their warranties.

Another benefit of going solo on my solar project was learning that I could legally install panels on a part of my roof that everyone else thought I couldn't use because of old setback rules. I was able to fit eight additional panels on my roof after discussing the issue with the city inspector.

Most of my prep time was spent writing my permit application. If you want to use mine as a reference or template, file an issue on my github repo for the project [1] and I'll upload it later. I'd also be happy to chat about the gear I chose, where I bought it, and share a list of materials.

It's hard to imagine, but that would mean this explosion was nearly 3.5x larger than 2015 Tianjin[1] which was 800 tonnes of ammonium nitrate (336 tons TNT equivalent). The video[2] from Tianjin looked way bigger and apocalyptic, but perhaps just because of the the fireball.

A comparable explosion happened in Toulouse, France, in 2001, estimated at 20-40 tons of TNT.

It was also some nitrate storage that blew up. Similar end result, pretty much everything window in the city was blown away, and most of the injuries were caused by broken glass.

I currently get by on Linux by syncing my 1Password vault and reimporting it to KeepassXC every time I need a newly added or updated entry. Annoying to have to create new entries on another devices and sync when I need an account on Linux but it works. Looks like this update provides me with nothing useful.

There’s no way I’m moving to a 1Password account, but I might just switch away entirely the next time I need to pay for an update or whatever, given the apparent lack of interest in serving my needs despite the amount of money I’ve paid for updates, etc. to date and the fact that it’s clearly technically possible.

I think the permitting process is a bit different for places like this. Depends on what kind of power you're using: solar or utility? You have a sewer, or a well, or do you collect your own water and compost waste? People build and modify structures all the time with and without permits. If the bureaucrats had their way you'd need a permit to change a lightbulb.

Also, is it a residence? This could easily be considered a "storage shed" as much as it could be considered a "house", much like RVs are insured differently than jobsite pickup trucks.

Furthermore, it's more or less on the buyer to make the call about a structure's safety and value. Even buying a regular house, in a regular neighborhood, you can go ahead and buy it even if the inspector says it's going to burn down within a year. The bank might not loan you the money, but you can buy it as long as you can afford it. Houses get bought and sold every day that don't meet electrical, plumbing or general safety codes.
The context of the background is self-maintaining. Reducing the viz/readability of the overlay text does nobody but the art critics any favours. It was, and remains, a bad idea.
