Posted this quite a while back and thought I'd try again since I've added Android and non-TrueDepth iOS support.

Happy to answer any questions - here are a few typical ones:

"How does it work?" - It uses your phone's AR capabilities to track your head in 3D then sends this data to the open source app OpenTrack which then emulates the TrackIR protocol for games to work with.

"If you're moving your head, how do you see the monitor?" - you keep your eyes on the screen, plus your movement is magnified, so a slight nudge will move your head a lot further.

"What devices does this work for?" - any iOS 13 device and any Android device that supports AR Services.

ORMs should not be sold as "Now you don't need to learn SQL". Like any abstraction, it pays to know about the layer below even if you're being saved from directly using it. In the case of SQL and ORMs, this is particularly true.

In all seriousness, this is really cool. It's incredible how we still keep finding out new things about our body. You'd've thought that there wouldn't be much left to find at the macroscopic level, and yet...
That's pretty awesome.

I was looking for a NAS that could take 2.5" drives a year or so back (I no longer believe in spinning rust).

In the end the prices of them put me off so much that I built a mini-ITX server instead. This might have swayed me (though a 4 driver version would be preferable)

Right, I think that is a common misconception. A license like the AGPL cannot force people to release their modifications, it can only force people not using the AGPL-licensed software. At best you can sue for damages due to unlicensed usage.

It does not support joins. The expectation is that you "Preload" your data which is a fancy way of saying load it all into memory. The performance of this is trash so don't use that ORM there are a few better ORMs for GO mentioned in the issue.

Yes joins are really necessary in SQL they are a foundational part of using any relational database.

Losses are paid in money. So you need to specify a certain monetary value and have the court to agree. While it would be the easiest for settling the case to just release the modified source, I don't think you can enforce that.
Not wasted.

That is important point for arguing with people who say things like 'ORMs are bad I can write my SQL queries', 'Angular is bad I have my perfect approach for vanilla js'. When such person will have to explain their 'perfect' approach to 10 developers and then such person will have to keep doing code reviews so that approach is still used by those 10 developers it will be an eye opener

> Your link warns about highly processed oil in general.

No, it specifically says that there are concerns about them and goes on to explain why those concerns are generally misplaced, e.g. in relation to the use of hexane and the amount of trans fat present.

It also explains that the levels of trans fats are higher in animal fats, especially in beef fat and milk/butter, which you conveniently chose to ignore.

As you can also see, there are references at the bottom of the page, for your further edification.

In contrast, you have provided absolutely no references to your claims, and you apparently refuse to do so.
Is this for real, or just fake news?
This is NOT TRUE that it's NOT SHARED, especially in learning. Just browse quora on any deep learning realted fields, it's a bunch of guys shareing their (more or less relevant and exact) hunch. Also most ML vulgarisation articles focus on that too.

You ought to have mentioned that pointers of the latter type are quite rare in C. A mention of const pointer practically always means a pointer-to-const: a pointer you can't write through. Often you can still "re-bind" such pointer to another object – in both ways the polar opposite of JS const.

Of course, in C++ there are const references as well, and in this case const also means you can't modify the referenced object (in any case in C++ you can never re-bind a reference).

Even if age was the only risk factor (in which case controlling for age would negate the first and third points), the second point would cover that. But age isn't the only risk factor, so all three points are still relevant.
So a task/job system with explicit dataflow, where data is handed off to the task that uses it, rather than being shared? A lot of game engines do this nowadays and it works quite well. It doesn't eliminate synchronisation completely, but it does simplify things a good bit.

Ideally, any shared data is immutable (and modifying it would then need to be done in a coordinated synchronised fashion) while most mutable state is only ever owned by one task/thread, with ownership explicitly passed between them as others need access, unique_ptr style. Reality doesn't always match with the ideal though.
I remember the cadaver labs during the school days. Really hard to spot certain (save for the really large organs which are obvious) unless you know what it is you’re looking for. Sometimes an illustration tells you it should be there but the actual structure is... underwhelming or barely visible/damaged from years of specimen abuse. Can see how things like this can be missed.

I had interest in Rebol and Red, but lost it. Lost the interest because of what you mention, but also because building algorithms with it imply a big cognitive load for me.
Since then, I'm very happy with TCL, one of the inspirations for Rebol. Its syntax is regular, it's a professional tool, conservative, i.e. doesn't break code at each new release, has great GUI with Tk, and many other advantages.

Please elaborate on 'died'?

Over the years I've accumulate 10+ Odroid boards that are all still in use, and non have ever died on me.

Actually that's not entirely true, I did have an Odroid Weather Board that got a burned BME280 sensor because I left it outdoors in the rain.
The speed of electricity isn't 1/100th the speed of light. IIRC it's something closer to 70% in copper. The speed electrons move is much lower, however something more like cm or m per second (presumably depends on voltage.) However, this isn't related to the speed of electricity which is analogous to how the speed of water through an (already full) hose isn't related to how soon water starts coming out the end when the tap is turned on.

I've also heard, but I can't explain so you'll have to look it up yourself, that none of this matters when keeping a grid in sync anyway. It just works out.
It becomes technical debt if you are focusing on the app, but if you are focusing on the data Retool has very little impact on your debt. You should still be processing and managing data with sql or python version controlled on git. What Retool does is commoditizing front end for building internal enterprise tools and letting you spend the resources and time on the data. The real value add of internal tools is data, UIs can change but the data doesn't. Unfortunately many digital IT projects put high focus on the frontend and they go badly because too little effort is put on the data, I think Retool solves that giving a standard cheap way of building decent looking frontends.
If you buy a ticket to a commercial flight, you're trusting software with your life.

I have been using ecto for some time now, and its approach is very good. It is just some syntax sugar to help to write safe SQL from elixir. There is no magic like cache or anything from complex ORM and it has been the best experience in many years.
If we are just going by resource usage, I'm sure that RedisGraph (as it's "just" a Redis module) would also fit the bill.

> How often do people really migrate to a different database?

Well, I have been part of a migration from MySQL to MariaDB, which was a lot more effort than one would expect given that they're meant to be more or less the same thing. It was a ton of effort and the abstracted ORM logic didn't actually help with this.

So if it doesn't really help that much for a simple case like that, then it doesn't seem like there's much point in my opinion, as porting is going to be work either way (in a non-trivial application with non-trivial data access patterns, at least).
As dimensionality increases the likelihood of a local minima decreases because there is almost always a dimension where the curvature is in the other direction.
Agreed. It makes little sense to try to write your SQL queries to run fine on multiple different DBMSs. Different SQL DBMSs should be treated as different languages.

Presumably the idea is based on an analogy to code portability: it can be good to ensure your C++ code compiles fine with multiple different compilers. Really though, it's more akin to writing code that compiles as both C# and Java; clearly madness.
You know not like this.
You can do that in literally any language.
SQLAlchemy is pretty sweet in the sense that you don't have to use the ORM, it has a non-ORM part that lets you write almost arbitrary SQL statements programmatically. This often results in cleaner code than when writing those queries by hand (which you can also do in SQLAlchemy), so I prefer it to raw SQL. For things like database migrations I prefer raw SQL files though, as it's a bit painful to get edge cases right with tools like Alembic (haven't used if for two years though so maybe things got better).
I currently use sync.com and pay $96/year for 2TB. Works perfectly both as a vault and to sync data across devices.

Fo the same amount of space at Evermore it would cost $2215.83

That's over 23x the Sync.com cost.

That alone, without discussing the 'Access forever', makes it nonsense to even consider a swap.
Did you buy the stock spec or custom?
Our views on this tend to be influenced by the sorts of data applications we've written in the past. I can imagine that people who've done a lot of corporate/enterprise development with large teams or straightforward requirements would see immense value in an ORM. I'm sure that doesn't even begin to describe the breadth of projects where an ORM is a good idea. I've never built applications in this space so I can't speak to it.

With most of the stuff I do, an ORM is a non-starter for my databases. The data would make no sense as objects and I tend to avoid using data objects in programming anyway. It's probably impractical or impossible to build what I build using one and even if you could it would be more difficult to write and performance would certainly be atrocious.
Should library code really be relying on a database? If its a database library, then ok, maybe it can stick to a subset of database features that works across all supported databases, but in that case, testing against these databases is no longer a "Forcing Function", but a core part of the libraries test suite to ensure correctness.

The same goes for platform code, really. If you are advertising your platform to work with databases X, Y and Z, then you really need to be testing against those and not just as a Forcing Function to see if any brittleness crept in, but as a core part of ensuring your platform does as advertised.
And yet C++ was (in)famously used in the JSF... A less notorious example is Airbus's use of Frama-C.
It seems almost unbelievable that in this day and age we could have missed something like this. In my opinion, it put modern medicine into perspective. I've suspected for some time that medicine is actually closer to the dark ages than we like to think it is, and this report seems like a good validation of that notion.
Isn't that keeping everything in memory?
> But it's not even really good at that. It's not liquid, it's prone to bugs and attacks, and it doesn't even seem to be that anonymous.

All software is prone to bugs and attacks, and for something that's only just entered its second decade I'd say Bitcoin did remarkably well in that regard (no currency nullifying epxloits).

Complete anonymity was never Bitcoin's core feature (it aimed to keep the users pseudonymous with its addresses), but anonymous blockchains are possible, and Monero and Zcach demonstrate that really well.

I would kill for a sbc with 2 M.2 slots. This allow for a incredibly small form factor NAS with good performance and reliability.

Yes of course, that is why 'special forces' in military are special, most of people are just cannon fodder.

Military orgs around the world are turning into smaller head counts of disciplined people. That is known since the Battle of Thermopylae but maybe getting lost from time to time. There is also a lot of military tech that is trying to prevent soldiers from shooting themselves in the foot, which fails from time to time.

We also know that just adding more developers to project is not increasing velocity and that small focused teams outperform large teams by orders of magnitude.

Problem we have to tackle are big orgs that need a lot of code and have high dev turnover. That is why frameworks like angular and tools first are so important, they help to scale code better than plain code or plain js.
And more importantly, you'd want to design your database to be optimal for complex SQL queries and not whatever generic structure that matches your programming objects.

I worked quite a lot in pandas, dplyr, data.table and pyspark for a few years. And even occasionally some scala spark and sparkR. But after getting a bit fed up with F.lit()-this, F.col()-that, and the umpteenth variation on SQL, nowadays I pretty much just stick with plain SQL. I believe I've found my Enlightenment.

If we had a functional immigration system, green cards would be granted in a reasonable time frame (6 to 12 months). H1-Bs are an imperfect substitute, that can be and are abused. Any of the proposed measures would help curb "body shops" that are indeed stealing jobs from Americans, and keep those legit H1-Bs that are plugging holes in the native labor supply.

H1-Bs are transferrable, so calling it "indentured servitude" is incorrect, the real reason why H1-Bs usually stick with an employer is the green card sponsorship by the employer, which is not transferrable.

>Doctors May Have Found Secretive New Organs in the Center of Your Head

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/19/health/saliva-glands-new-...

>Dr. Alvand Hassankhani, a radiologist at the University of Pennsylvania, said he was hesitant to label the structures “new organs.” In addition to the three pairs of known large salivary glands, some 1,000 minor salivary glands are sprinkled across the lining of the mouth and throat. They are more petite and tougher to find through imaging or scanning than their heftier cousins. It’s possible that the Dutch researchers just happened upon a better way to image a set of underappreciated minor glands, Dr. Hassankhani said.
Of course there are some errors in real life. The more interesting question is how far from optimality the markets are. To carry on your analogy, a tennis ball is not perfectly spherical but it is round enough for practical use.

Similarly, the market can be 99.99% efficient, in which case it's obviously not entirely perfect but close enough that the average citizen is extremely unlikely to find any real arbitrages (which is what the EMH is essentially about).

For the Kind Attention of Mr Gary Aboud,

Dear Mr Aboud,

Good Morning to you sir, I am writing urgently to you to offer our services in relation to the terrible potential disaster you will encounter in relation to the Nabarima Oil Spill in the Gulf of Paria, and wish to offer you our assistance going forward.
I have been reading and following your recent posts on social media with regards to this and fully agree the Government of Trinidad & Tobago and other Caribbean Islands need to act upon this with immediate effect, your voice needs to be heard sir and it is, we back you fully on this.

We at Gobbler Oil Recovery Specialists here in the UK, would be more than willing to assist you and other Governments to assist and prevent the devastation that will happen, should the Oil Tanker sink, we are today putting together a complete dossier of what would be needed to protect your beaches, marine life and equally important your Tourism Business, without this you have no Economy sir, of which you are more than aware of…

Once this has been completed I will gladly forward this over to you for your thoughts and comments. As you have said in your previous comments the Venezuelan Government are not doing anything to include your Government of which is shameful, one needs to act upon this now before we have another Valdez Oil Spill like we had in 1989, but the main worry is this one will be much worse and bigger.

Trying to approach any Government Minister to get this point over seems impossible, everyone seems to put their head in the sand and wait for this disaster to happen, it does not need to be this way, our expert team of professionals can undertake the whole operation to secure this from happening, given the chance. We have are own product that we use for any Worldwide Oil Spill’s being a product called GoSorb, I have attached a link for you to view at your leisure, we can also fully assist with the Sargussum Threat you also have in the Caribbean. https://www.gobblerboats.com/video/

I am sure you have the connections within your Government to approach them and advise them that at Gobbler Boats Ltd, we are here to assist them, and can get our team out to you with immediate effect and undertake the severe problem you have at present, we are here to help you all in any way we can.

Please feel free to view our Company Website: https://www.gobblerboats.com/

People do listen to your sir, the points you have raised thus far are so powerful, something needs to be done now, not after the event…..

I would welcome your reply via email or if you wish to make contact at our Office please do feel free to call me on the relevant UK contact numbers below.

One wishes you a most pleasant day.

Kindest Regards Peter
