This article leaves out why he was promoted. I assume he was promoted despite the discipline, not as a reward.

The article doesn’t research whether he’s reformed or still a bully. Or whether the position is important or not. These are important details.

Maybe the position is BS and doesn’t have much authority. Maybe he’s learned the error of his ways.

Without useful information this article is lame as it seems to link the suspension with the promotion.
It's really easy to make a mapping of domain names to IPs. If you want a chance at privacy, you need load balancer IPs that have a huge number of sites behind them.
> For people coming from traditional web development, I find that Svelte is the most comfortable tool for them to learn.

That's a helpful endorsement, thank you. I'd found Svelte, and it did look promising and more comfortable.

> I would not describe it as a simpler model however - you're effectively writing two applications that communicate together to make one. The benefits you get for that are beyond worth it in my opinion.

> I don't know if I would be able to do very well explaining it myself, but generally - it allows for a more clean separation between systems. My backend exposes an API that my frontend can communicate with over background HTTP requests.

That's a much better explanation than anything I'd seen before. Every description I'd seen before holds up React and Vue as simpler or easier than traditional web development, and that didn't seem at all accurate. The potential architectural advantage, at a cost of simplicity, makes much more sense.

(I do rather like statically compiled type-safe templates, but at that point, that's a separate question of preferred development language.)

> - Component structure is just better to work with than template structure (expanded upon below)

That's one of the clearest advantages I've previously recognized. The idea of putting the HTML and CSS and JavaScript for a component in one place, and combining that with other components, makes perfect sense to me.
On the other hand, there were pretty complex games on the vastly more simple NES. Less than on the SNES, they required elaborate tricks. (I guess that however mostly required more from the actual game code, and sometimes some extra hardware, than from the tools.)
Someone can correct me but I think the difference is the Church wasn't down with taking a Christian as a slave. That would have resulted in the number of slaves dwindling.

I think the in the US slavery is associated with the virulent Slavery in the United States where slaves were literal property every bit as much as a horse and a wagon were property.

Might be that Romans would have considered the difference between their slaves and medieval surfs as a distinction without a difference. And possibly be horrified by the US variant. Your slave doesn't have the right to marry and own property? WTF?

His disagreeability is probably correlated with his track record of innovation and if we cancel every outlier like that our ability to reach new plateaus will lag decades behind than if we only allow nice people to play.
I’ve often thought it would be a good idea to charge people a tax when they buy something to pay for the disposal in the future. If they re sell it or somehow dispose of it in a responsible manner, the tax is passed on or reimbursed. I’m not sure how this would be implemented though. I think it would be awesome to make people think about how they are going to deal with the item once they’ve used it. I think just burying something is just not acceptable and will be looked back upon as abhorrent and wasteful.
> If you want to start a conversation about something and maybe help grow people's understanding of it, using pithy, semi-comedic statements is a great way to do it.

I've said in maybe 20 different ways how this isn't pithy or semi-comedic

> I included "major version bumps should be rare and apologetic, not careless and frequent" in this tweet: https://twitter.com/simonw/status/1424050624388206600 - and it got 1 retweet and 12 likes.

You've made my point splendidly. Do you remember how this thread started? With me saying the gray area doesn't get you engagement? How people pretend to be backing the extreme takes because of that?

Now lo and behold, "oh well obviously they never held that view in the first place, it was just pithy and semi-comedic"

> I don't think this discussion was patronizing. I think that Will helped a lot of people understand a concept that they may have missed.

You acting like the catalyst for the conversation was a "pithy semi-comedic" way of saying "major version bumps should be rare and apologetic, not careless and frequent" is extremely patronizing. It's an insult to people's intelligence!

It wasn't, it was doing exactly what I said above. Saying something whacky and wrong so that when people start to engage with it you can come back with a much more moderate vanilla point that's no one disagreed with in the first place so that audience the first statement collected gets to see you make <very correct statement>.

> Fundamentally our disagreement here seems to be about whether "major version numbers are [...] a permanent reminder of how many times you got the API wrong" means the same thing as "major version bumps should be rare and apologetic". I think the first is a slight exaggeration of the second, made for impact - and that the response to it showed that exaggerating it had the desired effect.

They are literally tangential statements. One literally does not follow the other.

That's why I said before, this isn't some academic "well achtually technically they use different words" type of deal, they are not the same!

But you know what, hey maybe I should assume positive intent. Maybe you actually don't realize how non-sensical it sounds to pretend that one follows the other. So let's leave it at that.
Those vaccination cards are a joke. Photoshop and a bit heavier than normal card stock is all you need. Is there a central database where vaccinated are kept? I’d assume for reporting, yes. But in 2021, we get a glorified business card that is trivial to fake. Ah, government.

Just so I understand the idealized pipeline here, a user does the following:

1. Use the Scanner app to take the images and camera pose data

2. Export the scene directory (color and depth images and json files) somehow to your computer

3. Import (integrate, open) the directory via the Stray CLI

4. Annotate voxels via 3D bounding box in Studio GUI

5. Generate labels from the annotated voxels

6. Import data and labels, train and test a detectron model with pytorch

7. Export trained model in torchscript format

8. Profit

I assume you require users to "ETL" the scene directory from your phone to your desktop/laptop via some manual transfer process?

Is there any reason I couldn't stop at step 5 and push my new labeled date to my own training system?
No worries! It listed my device under the App Store compatibility section, so I assumed it was compatible. You might be able to modify that section.

Have you considered Purism and Fairphone or are their specs too underwhelming to consider?

With regards to your laptop, does not being able to use Mac-specific development tools (XCode, etc.) interfere with your work in any way or do you just limit the work you take to ones that are friendlier to Linux?
The QR is issued based on medical information but in most cases not directly linked (it's a separate database). But it's not an airtight system.

The gap there is that the venues have to check the QR with your ID to see if it's got the same name. Usually they don't bother. So people can just use someone else's. The QR is super secure (signed with a private key) and can't be faked but the person's identity has to be validated by other means and cross-checked with the QR info. So basically it comes down to the whole fake ID thing that people have always used for underage drinking etc. And a lot of places don't bother in my experience, they just scan the QR and see if it comes up green.

I really hate having to ID myself everywhere though. Especially because the QR is digitally scanned so can be collected really easily. I really care about privacy and this can be used for tracking to the extreme. Nothing to stop restaurant owners and shops from collecting the personal info they scan. I'm fully vaccinated but I'll probably not go for dinner anymore and will boycot public transport as much as I can.

Also, if we just make vaccines mandatory there's no need to check as everyone's got one.. The lowest covid risk possible, and no privacy invasion.

I feel like the current measures are tailored too much towards the needs of the antivaxxers. I understand their concerns but a society where we have to ID ourselves every 5 minutes and be tracked as a result is a horror scenario too. I'm hoping for a bit more debate on this but the countries that have introduced this (France, Italy) have ignored any criticism.

Also, it doesn't really help the antivaxxers as in those countries they will have to get a 50-euro covid test every 2 days if they want to go shopping, use public transport, eat out etc. In the end I think many of them will get the vaccine anyway as they can't afford that. And then when (nearly) everyone is vaccinated, will they drop the QR codes? I doubt it... So really all of us will be worse off in the end.

I know it's not a nice debate to have but we really need to think of the effects of these decisions on society in the long term.
OK, I thought you meant rust because that's the only other language with chances of getting support inside the Linux kernel right now.

I never said such a thing, I said we don't know. As always, in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice, there is.

I’m using Postgres so I actually have it a little easier with its native sort order. I switched from NUlid that I was using from years back to this one [0], and the default .ToGuid() gets the desired sort order when used with Npgsql. Likewise though, no db-side generation of uuid - then again, isn’t that the benefit of using globally unique identifiers in the first place, to avoid needing to rely on the db to generate conflict-free identifiers, skipping HiLo or sequences, etc.

Anyway, nice to meet another .NET Ulid user in the wild!

They aren't necessarily grifting, but they give a platform for grifters. That's not necessarily a bad thing. A more open media environment is worth the cost of a few bad actors.

I don't know much about the Keystone pipeline, but I don't think it can be directly compared. It's more like transmission than generation.

And an oil pipeline use is to reduce costs of bringing oil from a particular area to market. It doesn't necessarily have benefits that translate to the entire market, unless the change is so big as to move the entire market. And I don't think Keystone was that big, but couldn't say.

Also oil is not generally used at all in our electrical grid. Far to inefficient, and far more useful as fuel for vehicles.

Further, VC Summer has delivered zero benefit to people, despite it costing the average utility bill an extra $20/month last I heard. Keystone has had several phases complete, so there has been oil delivered to markets.
> Respectfully, this makes zero sense. Is there something more?

Yes, the rumors that are swirling that this may just be something being used as leverage by Qatar against Airbus for contract negotiations.

But those are just rumors.

When the government won't pay more than $850/lb no matter the quality of the weed, what do you expect?

The weed in legal dispensaries is straight trash. It's dry, usually packaged months before in containers or bags, costs more than the old medical dispensaries or literally anyone else selling weed.

There is zero reason to go into a legal dispensary, spend between $25-$40 for 3.5g of weed that's going to be pure garbage when I could get high quality weed for $15-$20/3.5g from pretty much any street dealer or delivery service.

Why would I spend more money on 10mg edibles when I can spend less money on 100mg + edibles.

It's completely mindboggling how badly the government fucked this up. It's hard to believe it wasn't intentional.
How machiavellian of you... I think the world has moved on from the days of letting visionaries like Job's rant and rave and yell and scream to "bring out more in people than they knew they had in them". There are likely more effective ways to bring out the best in people that also build environments that are healthy and where people want to work.
Yes, you absolutely are, every third comment on a remote work thread is about how people in an office can't be allowed to just talk to each other, but must always go through videoconferencing software to include the remote workers. At that point you're still working remotely, you're just doing it in close proximity.
I feel like this story is overblown. He was clearly a bad manager. From what I can gather, he was placed on leave after an investigation and then moved to a policy position where he does not manage anyone.

Calling it a promotion is pure spin.
Looks nice, I used a more complicated version during undergrad for a physics lab. It was great as you could explore length contraction, time dilation etc, and also had toggles for enabling some of the really crazy relativistic effects. https://people.physics.anu.edu.au/~cms130/RTR/

Turns out it relied on GPU acceleration at the time to work (even at low Res). https://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0701200

Patents certainly cause unforeseen damage all the time, sometimes with damages with far too many zeros to be considered at all reasonable (like what happened to Blackberry a few years back). My personal belief regarding software is that if a skilled practitioner of the art can come up with a particular solution when given similar design constraints for solving a problem, the solution should not be considered novel and worthy of patent protection. Sadly this is not anywhere close to how patents actually work in the real world.
I enjoy walking in alleys and see a lot of perfectly good items thrown away, of course. As I am nearly a sentimental hoarder, citing to myself practical, environmental and thrift reasons, it boggles my mind what some people toss out. In residential trash I’ve seen near-mint suitcases, umbrellas, notebooks, school books, art supplies, boots, shirts, jackets, large toys, entire potted plants, hats, work uniforms, and much more. Commercial trash can be even more impressively wasteful with things like 60 pounds of ground beef behind a certain bar every other week.

As far as food, I have known people who regularly go to drive-they’d, get 6 tacos, eat one or two and throw the other 4 away. I’ve accompanied some friends to dinner who routinely order large meals, eat a fraction and leave it at the table. This casual waste at the consumer level is even worse when you consider the proportion of food that didn’t even make it to a plate.

What I perceive is a common lack of appreciation of the total cost, in every sense, of creating any food item or consumer product. Any sort of production involves suffering for someone, whether it’s the lowest paid workers, local people and animals suffering the effects of pollution, or even the problem of roads and air congested by trucks carrying products that will eventually be 2/3s wasted.

It boggles my mind that with more organization and efficiency in distribution and usage, we could grow less food, but feed more people and eat more, yet most people don’t see any need to even try to change the system.
You always see snarky HN comments talk about how energy storage technologies don't exist. The reality is that we are drowning in grid storage tech but there is barely any demand for it because we haven't even reached the maximum potential of a renewable grid without storage. There simply isn't enough excess energy to justify it. There are some load shifting setups that extend solar energy 4 hours into the evening but that is about it.
I don't blame the shoddy construction on the energy rules. Should I?
Can’t see how being an asshole and being innovative are intrinsically linked.

On the other hand, being an asshole and [taking credit for other’s work, stepping on others to climb the corporate ladder, throwing others under the bus, other sociopathic behavior…] seem pretty correlated.
No, the space being shown here remains entirely flat. There is length contraction and time dilation at play, but that’s a uniform effect. The reason the image appears distorted is because we have more time to catch up to light rays emitted from farther away. This visual phenomenon is called Terrell rotation.

It’s based entirely on special relativity—not to be confused with general relativity, which deals with curved spacetime in the presence of gravitational fields.
> None of this is helped by ... the continued low uptake of password managers to both store and generate passwords

This article contains reasonable advice, but I am not sure that is advice that anyone is interested in. Let me explain.

Most of my tech savvy friends/family use password managers (either digital or paper), two factor authentication, and sometimes hardware authentication devices for important accounts.

In contrast, most of my non-tech savvy friends/family do not care about password entropy or really anything to do with security. If the complexity requirements cause them to forget a memorized password, then they reset using their email.

Edit: Actually people forgetting their passwords because of complexity requirements might be useful, since it forces people not using a password manager to login by clicking a link from their email (which is better than a weak password) In this light, maybe companies should start to enforce even more crazy requirements at least 4 numbers, 4 symbols, 8 characters
Fair enough. I do see where you’re coming from, just thought you made the case a bit too strongly. I feel like given the current environment in which censorship is running rampant, in the opinion of many on both the left and the right, that to assert nobody is questioning the value of free speech seems at least a tad unperceptive if not willfully ignorant. Perhaps I mischaracterise your thinking, and if so I hope no offense is taken. I’ve seen what I perceive to be a cultural shift between the late 80s and today in popular attitudes toward free speech, at least in progressive circles. My perception may be wrong, I fully acknowledge.
My guess is the trick is needed four times per frame. For every field you need it once to start the static portion drawing, then once more to stop.

I'd be very interested to know how many paying users you guys have already.

Right now it feels very amateurish. The landing page is not that bad, but only once the video actually starts playing. Before that when your logo is just frozen. It looks very bad. The copy can also be better.

The Initial Dashboard UI looks really bad. I'm very confused why you guys have such a thick menu bar at the top with a cyan like background color...

On top of that you guys have very few shows, and all the shows seem like web series I'd watch on youtube for free...

Also please fix your categories, right now it's showing the shows name...

I think you guys should really consider just making your platform free for a while until you get some traction.

Seems like an interesting idea but executed very poorly so far... Hopefully that changes in the future :D
You don't have to invent a new name type.

RFC 5280:

The subject alternative name extension allows identities to be bound to the subject of the certificate. These identities may be included in addition to or in place of the identity in the subject field of the certificate. Defined options include an Internet electronic mail address, a DNS name, an IP address, and a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). Other options exist, including completely local definitions.
