You have to read this article, which was written by somebody who is visually impaired. He explains why the experience of VR is so much better for people with visual impairments, in so many ways, compared to any other assistive technologies. He states why it is so much more helpful: https://www.alphr.com/virtual-reality/1008932/vr-vision-loss...

I'm not one of those "everything should be open source and free" snobs, but my documentation tool is definitely one of them. This is a SaaS behind a paywall it seems, so it's immediately not winning any points for me.

I do agree that the existing tools are horribly subpar, but at least I don't need to contact support to fix them myself.

You're going to have a hard time convincing the larger C++ community to use this, I think. Companies, sure, I guess.

EDIT: Also I kind of reject one of the assertions made here; the reason why I never have documentation for my libraries isn't because I don't write it. It's there, very nicely laid out, in the headers and comments and whatnot. A lot of it. Enough to fully understand it. But rendering it out to Man pages, Markdown, HTML, etc. in a manner consistent with how those formats should work is a PITA that Doxygen simply doesn't do how I'd like.
What flaw (other than "ignorant") do you find in what it says?
A Guide to Unit Testing React Apollo Components
Apple has always been pretty cavalier with breaking things and also full of NIH syndrome. It works for point-n-click users which don't care which hardware or software they are clicking as long as it's shiny and pointy and clicky. But if you're a developer that cares about the OS plumbing, let alone relies on parts of it, Apple is not going to do you any favors.

The thing is efforts like homebrew is basically the only thing that keeps Apple platforms as a viable developer's platform (without it it'd be intolerable, as Apple has zero official solutions for managing software not coming in pointy-clicky Appstore packaging) - and given that macs are still popular among many developers, it's a mystery why Apple corporate pays so little attention to it. It's like they sold a car without any tires and wouldn't even acknowledge the existence of tire manufacturers, let alone how vital they are for the actual users of the product.
If anyone is interested, I tracked down the video where the ABB robot arm moves the pizza about 2 ft between stations.

It's no coincidence that the Zume Wikipedia page says "Zume announced that it was ending pizza production".

Edit: found somewhere a headline which explains the source of the dumb money financing Zume. Now it all makes sense: Softbank-backed Zume to shutter robotic pizza business

I've enjoyed a lot of things that are bad (e.g. poorly constructed, or 'well' constructed but only in a way that traps one-dimensional aspects of human experience to the point of inducing addiction).

As a person who’s chosen to make public accountability (or, more often community accountability because I’m not a public figure) a prominent part of how I’ve corrected future behavior by recognizing past facts... I find it important to point out that this approach is an opportunity to “get ahead of the story and set the narrative”, or just more plainly: it’s a chance for what appears to be frank self recognition and acknowledgment of harmful behavior to become more trustworthy than outside observation.

I’m not saying that’s what Andy is doing here, but I’d encourage readers to keep an open mind that he may be selective in his frankness, and may not even have full recall of his actions.

Any person subjecting themselves to widespread scrutiny is still accountable to others. I’m not familiar enough with any of these details to take any kind of a side, I just think it’s important to add the context that large scale self-accountability doesn’t have to trample other voices of external accountability; that one’s self-portrayal or self-image might be limited, especially when intoxicated; and that smaller stakes ownership of bad behavior is a common tactic of people avoiding larger stakes scrutiny.

That said, I don’t know the guy at all. Just want to make sure bullshit sensors of anyone invested in the post have an additional opportunity for calibration.

There is a LOT of talk about search engine economics in their site and vision (sic) paper but not much at a first glance about how this is supposed to work.

The two things I managed to find are:

> [0] The Presearch Engine harnesses the power of a number of the world’s top search engines and other data sources to provide users with a compelling search experience that offers great results, protects user privacy, provides more choice and control, while also being censorship-resistant.

> [1] There are more than 100 different search engine providers available to choose from, including general search
engines like Google and DuckDuckGo, media search engines like YouTube and Facebook, and specialized search
engines like Etherscan.io and Github.

So I guess it's a meta-search (think metacrawler) engine proxied through other peers (think tor) with extentions (think ddg) and a token (think profit)?

> Rich communities should want to welcome more residents, particularly those less fortunate than them. Sadly, in the Bay Area, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Is that the case anywhere in the world? Why single out the Bay Area.
Yes you are absolutely correct. And to be fair, for context, I was talking about businesses that usually get high profile fundings (and therefore coverage). This obviously even the big names that are already billions of dollars.
It was like...

> I tend to lean towards the idea that naked shorting should be allowed and encouraged. I believe we'd have a healthier market with less pump and dumps, since retail won't be able to lock the float on penny stocks and cause a squeeze, because borrow supply would be greater which (i) reduces the cost of borrow, and (ii) allows large institutions to take the other side effectively and maintain efficient pricing.

Interesting. I'm not sure I agree, but I appreciate the perspective.

GPU improvement rate is stalling (or more likely pixel count growth is slowing), so less visual improvement easily obtained? And given that cryptocoins created a new use for GPUs, we have a price influx in even "old" cards.

My 2¢
Part of the problem is these platforms start out with a core service but soon expand to include all sorts of stuff.

Snowflake/BigQuery/RedShift. Think of them as databases that deal with a ton of semi structured data and are optimised to run analytics queries, typically with SQL. These are what you build a data warehouse on, generally, though you could also use a traditional RDBMS. Basically you collect data from all around the business and put it in one place so you can do joins or otherwise structure things in a more useful way. Imagine someone asks you to match up your Facebook ad creatives with how well those customers engage with your app using data from your own service databases. A well-formed data warehouse makes that kind of query trivial.

Tableau/Looker. These connect to your data warehouse and act as a layer that business or other people in the company can interact with. People who want to make charts and reports but who don’t want to or can’t write SQL, basically. Often this is called the BI layer.

Data lakes are like data warehouses but less structured. Data swamps are data lakes that are such a mess as a result that nobody wants to deal with them.

ETL you can just think of as a script that takes data from a source and shoves it in a destination, often from your production databases or third party services to your data warehouse. Typically the data you get out from the source doesn’t match what it should look like in the data warehouse, so transformation is done here too.

Segment I haven’t used but my understanding is it saves you interacting directly with the million different places you want to send data to and receive data from. So instead of installing (say) 10 SDKs in your mobile app and sending events individually to each, you just install Segment, send them to it, and it distributes to the others.

Caveat: this is all an oversimplification and flippantly described. Feel free to ask more specific questions though.

I don’t really think it’s particularly out of hand. Everything has its purpose, mostly. You’re just at that stage where you’re on the outside and it seems impenetrable. And each component has a few companies competing for the crown, which inflates the entities in the space, but not the number of different types of ‘things’ in there.
Thanks for this, we commented at the same time - we’re refining the protocol and the language we use to store data in DNS. We’d love feedback and input on both.
>Now just yesterday I sold that same card with an additional year of wear on it for $220. This is a four-year-old card design that can barely run modern games at 1080p/60fps/medium settings.

a 6Gb version of it would generate about $3/day on Ethereum as of today, so it would be sweet, even by cryptocoin standards, ROI of ~70 days. The rise of Ethereum prices makes even the 2-3x GPU price growth of the last couple months still a good deal. If one wonders where all the GPUs are i think that provides pretty good idea https://cdn.videocardz.com/1/2021/01/GeForce-RTX-3080-Mining...
> It's hard for me to imagine someone putting opt-in telemetry in good will

You can’t imagine package maintainers would want to know unique install counts per package so maintainers can prioritize work? In good faith?

Opt-in is not a choice. It would render the numbers largely meaningless.

I wish him the best of luck. I hope he beats this cancer.
Well, it’s pretty dumb to suggest that these are the main reasons we don’t build housing. How about government corruption and special interest groups as big factors in the problem? Most of the time housing projects are blocked by people who want to “protect minorities” or “stop gentrification” or get a kickback from some developer. It’s quite the opposite of wanting to exclude minorities or raise property values.

That's fine if you want to live in low density. But at the same time, these cities, like Palo Alto, are building office space left and right and welcoming businesses into town. (At least that was the MO pre-COVID.) You shouldn't be able to welcome businesses in without building requisite housing units to support the employees.
Doesn't seem unreasonable. The new owner hired back ~90 of the ~120 employees? I suspect they know how the sausage (ice cream) is made so even if they lost the "creative genius" of the owners they can still churn out product people seem to already love.

Seems you have no understanding what Ahmadiyya standing for, let's clarify something first, one morning an Orange start calling herself Apple, should we start calling this Orange apple? should to Orange get offended if we still call it Apple? well we have to call the Orange Orange based on our well established understanding of the characteristics of a na orange and what makes it different, Ahmadiyya is widely considered non longer muslims amount the islamic world and islamic scholars, same fore Durouz in Lebanon for example, Ahmadiyya is against one of the main pillars of islam that prophet Mohamed is the last one but this movement founder declared himself a prophet and that god talks to him in english, this was established in 1889 during the British colonialism to India, islam consider people from other religions as infidel and it dose not seem to be an issue to christians or Jews how they are being seen by islam, and same thing goes to Christianity it dose not consider muslims as christians and I am sure muslims are happy not getting offended by not being Christians so I don't get it why this definitions are an issue while it comes to Ahmadyya, also I don't get your point of free speech while Ahmadyya are free to call themselves what they want and Muslims are also free to describe Ahmadyya the way they considered it right

Taking an Uber ride is easy as long as you don’t want to optimise for prices. I meant extracting as much money from you as possible in the context of other options in the app that might be more economical for you (if you don’t mind waiting, for example), not in the sense that Uber providing a service for you is somehow an involuntary extraction.

It wasn’t clear before so I edited the comment, my apologies.
>Also, you can't really "manage" your boss if he/she is gaslighting you. This is a criminal offense (or should be, depending on where you live) and must be punished accordingly.

It scares me that you can write these things without realizing the consequences and without being downvoted or having your comment removed.

"He/she said something that makes me doubt my reality, I want criminal prosecution." The level of policing that would take, is just unimaginable. The only societies that have come anywhere near this level of state control are East Germany, the Soviet Union and China. Your view would be a lot worse than those all together.

How about you just quit and find another boss and then we don't have to completely overhaul our society in a way we know doesn't work.

Sadly it is already too late. The tech industry today = a handful of $1T+ conglomerates. Everything else – startups, independent developers, open source – exists 100% at the mercy of their whims. I don't believe acquisitions are a requirement now either. Just remove any potential disruptions from your app store, search result or hosting platform, and problem solved.

And despite that, I have zero confidence that the government will be able to (or even wants to) do the correct thing. The battle still hasn't moved beyond "does this platform help or hurt our reelection chances".
If you liked bsd ports, you are probably going to like MacPorts too. I only wish they better advertise how to set up MacPorts without sudo/within users homedir.

GPU improvements are definitely happening. But yeah, pixel count is stagnant and will be for a bit.

All the work is going into memory and caching. Fine tuning the arch. Ray tracing and such have also changed the latency tightrope you balance a bit.

For an end user, the difference in visual fidelity will probably be minor. As an GPU researcher myself, this is an extremely exciting period.
