I just checked their payment page and as of today, they accept credit cards.
Accommodating touchscreens is great. If anything it seemed that the manipulations for points and those for lines are reversed? I kept getting an average when I was expecting a connecting line or an intersection? This may represent something deeper in GA that I haven't internalized yet. Nevertheless, it is possible to complete the game if one keeps trying.
Well, this was it.

I hope you all enjoyed tearing me to shreds - I’m sorry that my sexual assault isn’t a good enough excuse for my sexuality and I’m sorry my triggers inconvenience you.

No; for real - I’ve been here ten years and just sent an email to close my account.

I don’t know what the hell is wrong with you people, but this is maybe the tenth incident of singling out and shitty behaviour to me this year alone on this forum, whether it’s for being transgender, gay, asexual, or now, for even daring to open up about sexual assault.

I’ve had it. There are communities where decency can prevail.
> They are heavy, bloated, and try to do everything, at the end of the day they pick the lowest common denominator, for everything, and they ship it

What does this even mean?

> They want compile to a small executable, they are stuck and ended up just zipping everything and calling it a day

Both can compile executables the same size as go? See core-rt or the graalvm native-image compiler.

> They want to interop with native world, but they introduce runtime overhead and their GC/memory model is a barrier

Java's GC's are probably better than any on the market, including go's. And I will agree that currently native interop from the JVM is more expensive than it should be, but they're working on it.

> They want to AOT compile, but their runtime and libraries rely a lot on runtime reflection.

Easily solved by just declaring what you reflect upon or using runtime agents to find it. It's more difficult than a language than was designed to do it from the start, but eventually all of the big libraries will have it declared already. Hibernate already does [0][1]

Gross and inaccurate
'confused about how people actually spend their scarce time'

Nothing in your post back this up with experience or some data

But the bigger problem is that you have a circular argument - you already assumed spme content is second-rate before anyone has viewed it or reviwed it. Sony's 23'rd remake of spiderman and endless marvel movies are allegendly first-rate content, despite having zero emotinal intelligence, relevant issues or plot.

Meanwhile there is probably some great plotwriting languising somewhere, waiting to be discovered
> How could I get rid of this taste for mocking, no matter how friendly it is?

At some point, you either start to think that this behaviour is too dumb for the person you want to be, or not.
Interesting that you're using web sockets for video, any particular reason why?
From the picture it doesn't look like the camera module has an actual poe connector, they seem to be using a splitter cable.
> Are you consistently as skeptical as you are in this case? For example, have you personally verified that the earth is round

I am consistently skeptical about outrageous claims, particularly in ideologically charged contexts. Or try to be, anyway -- I'm not a robot and I'm of course subject to bias, like all humans.

For example, I dislike Trump but if I read something truly outrageous about him I tend to be skeptical about it. In Spanish we call it "avoid buying rotten fish", i.e. do not believe any stories about your hated enemy, just because they sound like something he would do, until you can have at least some degree of verification. Because sometimes those stories are planted maliciously or are plain wrong.

In the case of North Korea there is the problem that the country is so secretive -- unlike the US with Trump -- that it's truly hard to get confirmation of just about anything, so the rumors fly easily. If something sounds true about North Korea, then it must be true!

That the Earth is round is non-controversial. I don't see how it's wrong to double or triple check sociopolitical claims though.

I do believe North Korea is a hereditary dictatorship and that their people suffer, in case you were wondering. This doesn't mean I will automatically believe any claim about that country.
Well... They aren't wrong on QA being expensive. The real problem though is you can't measure the savings of a prevented problem. Drives most of us that do it for a living nuts, because all the MBA types love metrics, but don't generally have the imagination to take the numbers and go 'Now imagine all those people got bitten by X.' They won't, but if they did, think of the tarnish.

Being a QA is the most thankless way of making the world better imaginable.
It’s interesting that the article does not attribute responsibility. Ultimately, that tanker was under the control of a group of decision-makers and liability should be attributed. I say this, because what pollution is in economic terms is the movement of cost from one person’s balance sheet to another’s - whether by hook or by crook. We do ourselves a disfavour when we don’t identify how liability moves.
Yes, we used to do that, too! During the summers we'd have "BBS picnics" and also gatherings a local restaurants. That is one thing I do miss about the old days... the loss of locality.

> Everyone's chasing "scalable", mostly for no reason at all.

No technical reason, maybe. There is a social reason though: if you point out that there is no need to build scale (yet), you are pointing out that the business will not achieve overnight success. Even if it's true, it kills excitement and is therefore not something that people want to hear. Who wants to realize that what they're spending large amounts of time on (and possibly even neglecting other things like health, sleep and social contacts) will not even make all their financial dreams come true? Much easier to not think too hard about it and keep on doing what everyone is doing.

So, building out scalable infra is signaling that you too believe in the company and are preparing for the moment (any time now!) that "webscale" is needed. It's showing that you are part of the team.
That doesn't float. Natural selection can never select for suicide to benefit the group, unless the group is genetically identical - such a trait simply isn't adaptive.
I think the most beneficial concept from this part of the series is the dichotomy between loser talk and sociopath talk, in which loser talk is entirely about jostling for status in a group, whereas sociopath talk is about figuring out how to get what you want out of an interaction and out of life.

Of course, the language can be recast in a more positive light into playing status games vs. wealth slash some other kind of goal-achieving games.

Or recast it again into a personal CBT method to quiet status-related anxieties: is worrying about what Betty thinks of me or my jokes or social gaffes going to make me any happier, richer, or healthier? What would a "sociopath" think? Would they even react to this? Perhaps the answer is "yes", but much more often than not, the answer is "no, it doesn't matter one bit." It's your mind creating demons out of dust.
Aside from being an excellent overview of NeurIPS 2020 papers on this topic, I found it curious that several of them were anonymous.

Are anonymously submitted papers becoming (more) common? If so, what's driving this?
Mental and social are vectors of growth too. I was a complete introvert at work until I came out of my shell and socialized with my coworkers outside of work which has been beneficial in moving my career forward with presenting, pitching and managing.
OP here. The move is definitely needed in our case as it's to the point where IntelliJ won't even load anymore. But I had to laugh when improved testability was brought up as one of the benefits.
This is really cool, thanks for pointing this out. Definitely a different use-case but never knew it was this simple to stream video.
I took FSFE to court. This is my story
Another architecture that seems to be becoming more common is having your CRUD functionality in a traditional monolith or a set of microservices, then writing events out or using change data capture to move that data into a data warehouse, where it is transformed for reporting purposes. While this is not the same as CQRS and event sourcing, it's a strategy that can be "bolted on" to your existing application and potentially capture some of the same benefits.
i bought my own cable modem, installed it, never got around to calling them or returning their modem, and after maybe another month or two, comcast just stopped charging me the rental fee and didn't ask for their modem back.

so... pretty decent on their part.
"May be?" Isn't the SQ1 their own in-house ARM design?

I fully agree.

In fact I've never worked in an environment like described in this article. I'm not questioning their existence, I know plenty friends who work(ed) in toxic environments, and sure I've been a bit lucky.

But the whole idea that unavoidably you're either a loser, clueless, or a sociopath just doesn't seem rooted in reality to me. Plenty companies are not set up as toxic exploitation machines.
Why would someone go through this prep for 4 years when they can just register through uber and start driving?
I hadn't even thought of using small servos. Possibly that would have been a lot simpler! I went though a bunch of prototype EMs testing to get a working combo of voltage, windings, core size, etc. (Blew more than a few driver circuits too...)
Yeah. The code school route has a pretty hard glass ceiling.

I'm glad I took graduate coursework in advanced algorithms, signal processing, control systems, AI, etc. which followed on a course of differential equations, advanced linear algebra, probability, and so on.

There is a difference in computer science curricula, with more than a little bit of correlation with which tier school you go to. Without a solid theoretical background, you can become a decent engineer building a database-backed web application, but there's a world of possibilities closed off to you.

And those aren't skills you'll pick up on the job. If you're super-self-motivated, MOOCs and similar can do it, but I've found few adults able to invest the time to learn skills which don't have a pay-off for years. Differential equations or linear algebra aren't very helpful in isolation; it's the application which build on top of them which add value. That's a few semesters of study.
I'm pretty sure most of those people were born into homes with plenty of access to good food and education.

Elon had a nice computer from an early age in the early 80s, and went to a fancy prep school. Gates had parents who were successful lawyers, and who got him into Harvard. Bezos went to Princeon. Woz's dad was a well paid enigeer at Lockheed and went to UC Berkeley.

Lots of mobility for sure, but it really does take a couple generations in most cases. None of those people you mentioned grew up poor.
@rurban .. both your replies have been modded down into invisibility :[
For video streaming I would prefer to use WebRTC over RTMP
Some would argue that those "privately held organizations" are able to avoid market pressures via regulatory capture, if not outright grants of monopoly by governments.

If you want to argue that a government-granted public monopoly is better for consumers than a government-granted private monopoly, I'd be inclined to agree. But there are other options that might be better still for consumers, which is what I think the above poster was trying to get at.
I would seem they weren't desperate enough, would it not?

From Wikipedia [0]: A demand schedule [...] represents the amount of a certain good that buyers are willing and able to purchase at various prices.

That demand is large at low salaries but low at higher salaries just means that demand isn't very high (or as high as it is in US).

> I’d rather pay for it out of pocket once than get taxed at a higher rate for my entire working life.

And some people would prefer to do otherwise. It's just a different method with people placing value on other things like 6-week vacation, childcare, tuition, health insurance etc coming from the state. Your value is different - I understand it and that's fine. You do not have to agree to the method, just understand the alternate perspective. The grandparent was trying to suggest a different method to reach the similar goals.
Most Venkatesh Rao articles do have that goal in mind.
I was listening to a podcast with Shawn baker (I believe that was his name) who is an advocate for the carnivore diet. Besides describing all the strange and unusual remissions of autoimmune problems that people experience after switching to a carnivore diet, he gave an account of his journey leading up to becoming a diet luminary.

He tells some really interesting stories about being a surgeon in iraq and then his surgical practice in the United States. Being a man who values results, he began to recommend lifestyle and diet changes to his Patients, finding that sometimes it even made surgery unnecessary. And according to him this upset the hospital. He went on to explain the surgeries are very profitable for hospitals and that because of this they are over-prescribed. People are having unnecessary surgery all the time.

Ever since then I have been keeping my eye out for further evidence if this is true or not. It strikes me as plausible.
It’s a story because it’s a huge public health crisis with comparatively few resources dedicated towards solving it. Hundreds dead, and thousands who would have died if not for Narcan, is a serious emergency that ought to dominate SF political discussions.

I recognize some people invoke this fact for bad reasons, but it’s pretty dangerous to go down the route of ignoring problems because they feed political narratives we don’t like.
Perhaps partly, but the 70% increase from 2018 to 2019 can't be explained by Covid-19.
They have essentially monopoly control in a lot of markets and there are practical limits to how much they can charge people before the outcry makes regulatory capture more expensive. So the play is to take more household budget from other companies, they're pushing hard into mobile. Having their ISP customers provide them with blanket Wifi coverage allows them to deliver this service in residential areas without battling for tower space.
Sorry, that was a misunderstanding. Only the chat is using web sockets, the video stream is served as HLS.
Please elaborate on Michael putting up an act. Either I don't remember or it went over my head at the time.
It's a problem. That's why doing it (mediation, mindfulness, prayer, sitting zazen, ...) helps!

Watch animals: they meditate instinctively. Dogs, cats, birds, they all do it.

Just like animals all stretch instinctively. (We had some chickens for awhile this year and they stretch too. It's funny: they stretch the wing and leg on one side together, then the other side.)

What I'm saying is, "yoga" and "meditation" are necessary for survival. You gotta remember civilization is only 12K years old, that's nothing in the biological scheme of things. We should be spending a lot more time napping and "zoning out".
Lessons from 6 Months of Beta Tests
I don't think that is necessarily true. I often commute 40 miles on relatively quiet roads, and then at the end of that another 10 miles on one of the busiest roads in the country. When I leave home Google and Waze both underestimate the delay caused by the fact that the busy road is gridlocked by the time I get there. I am therefore better than Google and Waze at calculating journey time.
It's good to have a place like that. It's hard that it can take much more then you wish for, from not feeling productive all the way to taking all of the fun out of building. Watch out for that if you can. Also, Berlin is a pretty awesome place pushing some very cool things, both in and outside of venture tech.
My ISP has already replaced it with a “wifi access charge.” Because the router they provide has WiFi capability.
> I am sometimes baffled that the very fans who insist that their particular loves be treated seriously, as art are the same fans who react with frustration if one then sets out to interrogate those same genres the way one would interrogate serious art or literature.

I am sometimes baffled by people who understand that people can disagree on what is art, but don't understand that people also disagree on how art in general should be approached.
There was a strange thing I noticed when I moved from the rented router/modem combo provided by Comcast to a netgear Cm1000. The speed rate average dropped from 700mbps to 2-300mbps. Is this a configuration problem?
A lot of that is the IO die. The mobile equivalent will have 85-90% of the single-core performance with a 15W TDP. Apple still has better perf-per-watt, but it will be a much more apt comparison.

Also the MSRP is $450. It may be a bit more expensive now, but in a month or two the price will drop.

Unless society changes in some significant way those friendships aren't going to happen though.
It's an issue with engagement culture, more than startup culture I think... All the big players in media nowadays are fighting for a piece of your attention. The consequence is that the public is forced to filter way more who gets to have their free time, and make the conscious choice of checking out old preferences way less.

I remember years ago it was a usual thing for me to find myself bored and start checking out authors I liked (writers, singers, movie directors, whatever). I'd then find out what they've been up to and check out their new stuff. Nowadays I very rarely do that, because I always have an ever increasing pile of media to consume I can barely keep up with, so I don't go out to find new things.

In such an environment an artist can't choose to build an audience very slowly over decades because there's no retention. The only way to succeed is to explode virally and then keep pushing content constantly to remind people of your existence for as long as you can surf the wave.

Actually, that remote admin protocol ISP used TR-069 is a open protocol that was implemented on many router you can buy on the market. Even without remote control, there is nothing prevent them from just tell you the parameter you need to use(pppoe account or whatever). They can't support it is clearly a lie in most case.

For each given distance, yes, but the property that's interesting to humans is binary: "near" vs "far". It's also subjective, but almost any definition would put most of the galaxy in the "far" category, thereby making it more likely that a random location is "far".
I am afraid that a decision tree HAS direct impact on the forest. Multiple trees averaged give the forest response. It's like saying, one vote in elections has nothing to do with the final decision.

Sure we have heard it many times that it IS a like a brain, and many times it is NOT like a brain. It really depends on your intended audience, but it is not worth picking on and it feels like the tabs/spaces problem. BTW: tabs of course!
According to the Obama era network neutrality rules, they weren’t allowed to discriminate against devices, but it was never enforced.

Indeed, a lot of European nations have good healthcare coverage (i.e. doesn't cost much), but poor overall healthcare (low quality doctors, high waiting times, poor access to specialization). Some nations in EU are even developing nations with massive ghettos and extreme poverty the severity of which doesn't even come close to the worst states like Mississippi. I would guess mainly just the blue banana[0] of EU and the nordic countries have the highest quality of life since they have access to the most wealth.

>most content platforms select for content that is sufficiently good (or clickable) but not necessarily the best

Best is in the eye of the beholder anyway. But, truth be told, as long as an algorithm is reasonably dialed into my genre preferences... (There are some genres I just don't like even if you show me the very cream of the crop. And there are less popular ones that I'll probably enjoy even Tier 2 performers well enough.) I'll be pretty well satisfied with the overall most popular songs in those genres. Will it hit all my favorites. No. But it wouldn't be a bad cut.
This is the quintessential middle-brow dismissal. Sure, what the article is proposing is hard, platforms have to think hard about how to make it work, however I think it successfully makes the case that this would be mutually beneficial for creators and platform robustness, and lays out some potential mechanisms to move in that direction.

Your comment, by contrast, hinges on the assumption that platforms today are perfect at elevating the best content, and everything else is second-rate.
Ask HN: What is the best UI testing stack for a Java Application
Looking to add some UI test automation to a foss IntelliJ plugin.

Most of the plugin is UI, so these tests make sure there are not regressions with every release from Jetbrains. This is necessary because the plugin performs some automation using git.
