The 3d free-rotation for this view camera is a traditionally awkward way (in my opinion) for rotating. I've used different 3d modeling applications, few that do it this way, but I never liked it. I think the early Photoshop 3d viewport used this, but now does something else. Lightwave modeler always had one of the best free-rotation cameras.

Off-hand, I don't remember what that rotation equation is to be most effective.

Vote for the Rule of Law
I've got plenty of Bold Visions, but lack the resources to put them into practice.

I'm not sure what the main hiccup is. Maybe I'm not great at describing my vision. Maybe I'm trying to keep too much control over my ideas (I don't like the idea of sharing equity at all). Maybe my ideas are just no good.

I feel like there is a snake oil game I don't play, where people who want money get good at asking for it, and it's a continual game of "try not to get scammed" for the people being asked.

I'd rather just try to fund things myself, but it's super slow to get anything done that way.

I wish there were a way for good ideas to thrive on their merits without having to beg others to help, and then give huge percentages of my hard work to people who did nothing but write a check.

Makes me sick to think about.

Tilt and Turn: Three-in-One Window for Security, Breezes and Egress
Here's the analysis.[1]

It points out that (to quote):

As this report documents, the national polls in 2016 were quite accurate, while polls in key battleground states showed some large, problematic errors. (which is my claim: national polling is ok, state polls aren't great).

The education weighing issue is commonly accepted as the reason for the inaccuracy. The evidence for that isn't as strong as people assume.

Section 3.4 talks about the weighing issue, and shows some where reweighing worked:

Following the election, two different state-level pollsters acknowledged that they had not adjusted for education and conducted their own post-hoc analysis to examine what difference that would have made in their estimates. Both pollsters found that adjusting for education would have meaningfully improved their poll’s accuracy by reducing over-statement of Clinton support.

but also:

Despite this, it is not clear that adjusting to a more detailed education variable would have universally improved polls in 2016. Analysis of the effect from weighting by five education categories rather than three categories in four national polls (Appendix A.H) yielded an average change of less than 0.4 percentage points in the vote estimates and no systematic improvement.

It's worth noting that in previous elections this had never been the case before (which was why it wasn't done).

And Lala let you match all your own music library and stream for free, just like the marquee feature of Google Play Music, but years ahead of time. Also they let you stream every song (that you didn’t already have) once for free, and then you only needed to pay for it after that.

I am well aware of that. But RIAA likely doesn't care one iota about that damage. The injunction they'd write would be along the lines of:

"It's necessary that the entirety of GitHub be shut down until this case is decided. As noted here, they have persistently failed to adhere to our DMCA take-down notices, and continue to knowingly host content that circumvents our copyright protection schemes. Furthermore, it is not sufficient to just remove this content, because it has been and will be repeatedly readded, and GitHub has taken no action to remove these extra copies. We are likely to succeed on our merits because <blah>. We are irreparably harmed because <blah>."

That doesn't mean they'd necessarily win on a broad injunction, but they can still push for one (see Apple v Epic for a recent example). And stunts like this one make it more likely that a judge might agree that a broad injunction is necessary instead of a narrow one.

This mixes up a few things.

Immutable data means lack of aliasing problems (two pointers to a mutable cell). There are other languages that have this property, notably Fortran. It does allow many speed optimizations, in both parallel and single-thread cases. Yes, this is one of the reasons why Fortran is routinely faster than C on numeric code, and even Haskell sometimes is, too.

It is theoretically proven that any algorithm which uses mutable data can be converted to use immutable data with a penalty on memory and time not exceeding O(log n). In absolute terms, such a penalty can be low, or pretty high (consider working with large bitmaps). There's no silver bullet.

Functional code is often preferred due to its clarity, both humans and machines have easier time reasoning about it, and even formally proving its properties. Sometimes it is just more important than raw speed, but sometimes allows for more aggressive optimizations (rewriting by the compiler) and higher speed.

I just tried to post this, so I'll add the comment I was going to write myself - whether HN is supposed to be "apolitical" or not I think the speaker raises an important point about the roots of american society itself - let alone the corruption of Trump as a man.

As a practicing lawyer he has a relatively unique perspective on the matter, too.

Every step trump makes towards damaging America for his own gain should he viewed not only as a theft from those who need that focus most but also as a deliberate move against those who need western help in the world.
As an addendum to the idea, perhaps have the git commits signed via a public timestamping server. (ie to say, any commits that do not have a corresponding timestamped signature will not be accepted).

As CT shows, there are other ways to solve the audit-logging-for-untrusted-parties problem.
The claim wasn't "most popular vs. most popular". Why don't you choose "highest performance `FP language` vs highest performance `imperative language`"?

Also, `FP language` and `imperative language` aren't well-defined concepts (nor can they be, frankly). These are paradigms that languages have varying degrees of support for. So the entire foundation of the argument is meaningless.
Well they won't last any time because their destruction was caught at the end of the video.
I don't think the biggest issue is that the AppStore is the only distribution channel. The core issue that escalated this is that the distribution channel forces additional fees for no value in some cases (i.e. services/apps/games that have their own payment collection system in place).

I don't think the fee is there to protect device health. There are plenty of free apps with no fees levied, so that point doesn't make sense.

I think it's fair to charge a fee for using the store as a paid app distribution channel. If Apple takes on the burden of risk, funds flow management, etc. it's fair to take a cut.

If Epic instead builds their own payment system, they shouldn't be charged for it or forced into using Apple's.

Apple could claim that they need to cover hosting costs or review costs. And I think there's an argument here, but it's not made, and it would raise additional questions around fairness.

The claim was filed on Friday. It's been less than 48 hours, almost none of it during business hours. Filing a counterclaim is literally saying "see you in court," and given both that RIAA is known for being litigious and that youtube-dl's defense here is (to my reading of the law) merely decent and not slam-dunk, I would not want to take that step without seeking the advice of a lawyer first.

So even if a counterclaim were to be filed, I would not expect it to have been filed yet.

Edit: the most recent counterclaim I see filed was done on 2020-10-08 (https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/5dfed34cdb3774fcb10cb294...)... for a claim filed on 2020-09-16 (https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/951b7ba132fd6bafab2401a7...). That's almost a month later.
Yeah I doubt a bond would pay that well.. but he does have a point about risk exposure. Your mortgage could be thought of as an investment in the local real estate market.. diversifying that risk by buying shares in a REIT could be a good strategy... especially if you're in a low-growth area (ie outside of the big cities, midwest, etc).
Exactly, in my experience of open source so far, the biggest difference from a good project to a great project is management - even as simple as just keeping track of PRs.

If you make a PR and it gets left to die after a few days, who cares? If someone keeps an eye on it and tells you what they're looking for with a smile, you're going to try and get it done.

Is it really that surprising? Pictures that make men appear more masculine tend to do better, and pictures that detract from that tend to do worse. I'm sure you'd receive a similar result if you tested men who were pictured with show poodles.

the internet has enabled a new kind of bureaucracy where we now engage with commerce by filling out paperwork ourselves rather than having vendors manage it themselves. It used to be a business cost, now it's an externality. It reminds me of pollution - industrial processes that are "cheap" because no one is counting the damage done. Do you have more free time than your parents did when they were your age? I think our gains in "efficiency" are a shell game, that we're actually paying more to maintain an increasingly byzantine system
Yes, of course, but as an 'Application Platform' Linux obviously not ubiquitous.

There are a number of free and commercial substitutes for Linux that could be used at that embedded level and of course, they are perfectly encapsulated and monolithic: your 'fridge' is not a platform wherein there needs to be some degree of OS-level integration with other bits of software. From a systems perspective 'it doesn't matter' what OS is running on your refrigerator.

But it's moot: there is no inherent morality in 'free software'. Software is just another good, with different means to distribute, one of which is FOSS, which is really great, but it's only one piece of the puzzle.

> Tense muscles will exert more force on the things they're attached to like bones and organs, usually in opposing directions, which is what causes damage from otherwise trivial impacts. That's why, all other things being equal, drunk drivers experience fewer injuries in auto accidents - slower reaction times mean they don't react in time to tense up for the crash.

Wow, is this true? I've noticed that when small babies are picked up, there's a difference in their weight, depending upon whether they want to be picked up or not. Like, by doing something with their body, they are able to make themselves lighter or heavier -- perhaps by clinging more (or less) to the person picking them up, and perhaps by tightening (or loosening) their muscles.

I'm a pilates instructor, if you have any sources that discuss the effect of tense muscles & force, I would really appreciate it. Thanks :)
It all depends on the resources you have and whether you are a B2B or B2C business.

IMO the issue here is with the question mark operator. If the Rust question mark operator was more like Kotlin's this wouldn't be an issue.
Technically they are not banning people on that ground. What they say is they found their accounts violating “community guidelines” or some BS, and that “this decision is final”.

If you think that’s an extraordinary claim, well, that’s the kind of behavior international users of American SNS is usually forced to go by. Since 5-10 years ago Facebook/Twitter/Google/etc all started banning people by flagged content counts and their agenda based algorithms with “violated community guidelines” types of phraseology instead of citing any particular offenses picked up or verified by human moderators.
Thanks for that I enjoyed the read. Despite my original comment, I don't think things are entirely pessimistic. There is a push towards open computing. As far as software goes, the open front is doing well. It's hardware that worries me. Hardware is hard to do openly at a large scale it seems. Projects like purism and the pinephone stuff are a good start, but this is the direction I hope everything can start moving towards.

It does seem like a battle, for every open project you hear about, there's 10 more proprietary giants pushing some new all inclusive platform, but I don't think the war is lost or even close to being over.

Solar is impractical at many latitudes, especially under cloudy and wintry conditions. With solar you have both an energy storage problem and a surface area problem. Right now, solar benefits from the fact that it is a small fraction of the overall input into the system. It is simply supplemental, so there is no need to store so much excess capacity. However, if solar and wind were the only forms of energy, you would need massive reserves of battery storage both for off-peak (night and low wind conditions) and for longer-term weather conditions.

Also, if you get a Mount Tambora like episode, how do you think solar will fare in those conditions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Tambora ? You think it will be able to power our buildings, our vehicles, our factory equipment, etc?

Coal is primarily getting outcompeted by natural gas, which is cheaper to extract.
> An electric motor doesn't really _need_ all the electronics

These ones do. You're probably thinking of brushed motors, like the kind you can buy at Radio Shack as "hobby motors". EVs typically run brushless or induction motors, which require sensors and electronics to time the power to each coil.
We have, and that is the basis of our startup hyperTablet (YC W21). We preserve long-lasting transactions using lasers on microscopically thin wafers of purified porcelain, basing it on a recipe from early Mesopotamia; cuneiform tablets have been a high resolution medium with MTBF estimated at 10,000 years. The base clay is ethically sourced using only well educated, adult laborers 21 and older. It is then refined using processes first developed by the French military.

Obviously the market is primarily enterprise, legal, and insurance companies. We hope to get the cost per transaction (CPT) under €100 sometime in the next five years. Early adoption has still been surprisingly strong, surpassing projections by about 40% per year compounded.
