No, nobody uses a 3-strip/3-sensor approach anymore. It was used in the early Technicolor process, and was revived during the digital era with cameras like the Minolta RD-175, and it lingered on in cine cameras for a while longer, but nowadays almost everyone uses a bayer-filter approach (or a very similar one - there are several proprietary alternatives for the mosaic layout that claim various quality improvements).

The only similar thing nowadays is Foveon sensors where you have 3 color sites stacked on top of each other, but Foveon didn't really have the money to keep up with the arms race and nowadays the modern sensors are far better even though they do have to apply a low-pass filter to avoid mosaicing. When you have many, many, many nodes of improvement past the Foveon sensor, that stops being a big deal.

It was also never particularly widely adopted, because none of these things are new - it was a tough sell to market a "really high color-resolution!" 5mp camera going up against 20mp filtered sensors and 50mp unfiltered sensors even 10 years ago.

Interestingly though, the Foveon approach is similar to film. Film has multiple layers and all are exposed at once. There's no denying bayer is sort of weird. It's just very expensive to be the odd man out doing your own sensors. "Good enough" usually wins, Foveon may be betamax but bayer is VHS - and I use that analogy knowingly, in the sense of Betamax also doing key features worse in areas that consumers care a lot about.

> rust also incurs a non-negligible ongoing productivity cost for its complexity

This isn't really consistent with my experience. Compared to writing other languages with varying levels of strictness (C, Python, Go to name a few), Rust's compiler saves me a lot of time writing tests and finding bugs.

It doesn't save me the work of fixing them, but in my experience, bugs that are hard to find and easy to fix drastically outnumber bugs that are easy to find and hard to fix.

That said, I haven't tried Zig. It's on my radar, but just haven't had a new project to start lately.
The theory was that Luna would hold intrinsic value from demand for blockspace on the Luna blockchain. Analogous to how Ether is derives value from demand for Ethereum blockspace.

So the idea was that the Luna token would stabilize the peg for the UST stablecoin. In turn the UST stablecoin would drive demand for Luna blockspace giving the Luna token its underlying value.

To Terra’s credit they did make fairly serious efforts to spread a UST payments system. This got a fair bit of traction particularly in South Korea. The idea being that every time you paid for a cup of coffee from your UST wallet, the transaction fee would bid up Luna blockspace and help stabilize the peg.

“Have you been pulling long screen hours?”

“Yeah. Very long.”

“Well that’s why.”

“Outside of cutting screen hours, is there anything else I can do?”

So I splurged on the 6k display. I can literally feel it in my temples after a long session.
Not only is this not the whole story, it's a fucking awful interpretation of the actual story.

Turn the clock back 23 years to 1999 and the GPU market was exploding, with tons of vendors, tons of chips, tons of competition, and excellent competing prices.

What's changed since then? The same shit that Michael Crichton spent a 10 minute video on YouTube talking about in 1999... the consolidation of companies in all markets by ever-growing behemoths who swallow up all competition.

There are what... three major chip foundries left, one of them is barely considered a "major" chip foundry (Global Foundries). The other two, Intel and TSMC, are so busy and booked up that they're running 24/7 nonstop to fill demand.

This could never happen... would never happen... if we had a dozen different foundries all of similar technological prowess and size, and 1999 GPU markets are a clear indicator of that. Literally dozens of brands, using half a dozen or so different chips from companies like PowerVR, NVIDIA, ATI, 3Dfx, etc.

GPUs aren't underpriced, our entire economic engine has become fouled by a lack of serious competition.

Don't believe that? Go read an entire list of Disney's holdings. It's damn near unbelievable that our cowardly politicians haven't trust-busted the megacorps that are around today. It's so egregious that America's founders would probably drag their peers out into the street and shoot them themselves if they could see how corrupt the system's become.
I agree with this 100%. When we bought our house 5 years ago I bought some hue bulbs as a luxury purchase along with one Sonos speaker. Figured I was spending 200 grand on a house so may as well pay a few hundred dollars worth of toys.

Fast forward 5 years and the whole house is automated (and not through the cloud) but the ability to change moods with lights (and lights with moods) and especially have non-white light throughout the house has been amazing.

I can't even remember the last time light was truly bright white except for occasionally in the morning when needing to wake up or when needing to really read and concentrate. Other than that it seems vaguely inhuman to go into a house and be lit up in cold white lights like an interrogation
This is the (accurate) subjective theory of value. Individuals ascribe value to things and that is the only reason something has value.

This is in contrast to the (incorrect) labor theory of value so popular with left wing economists.
What's the seance/deceased siblings trick? I can't work it out from your description.
* With larger lambdas you get more predictable performance, 2GB RAM lambdas should get you ~ 90MB/s [0]

* Assuming you can parse faster than you read from S3 (true for most workloads?) that read throughput is your bottleneck.

* Set target query time, e.g 1s. That means for queries to finish in 1s each record on S3 has to be 90MB or smaller.

* Partition your data in such a way that each record on S3 is smaller than 90 MBs.

* Forgot to mention, you can also do parallel reads from S3, depending on your data format / parsing speed might be something to look into as well.

This is somewhat of a simplified guide (e.g for some workloads merging data takes time and we're not including that here) but should be good enough to start with.

> So yeah, it's obvious now. But it was patentable then, because nobody (or very few) had ever made a Bayer pattern sensor for a video camera. It's easy to forget how long ago 2007 was, at least until I try to get out of bed in the mornings.

yeah really this is a commentary on just how poorly-suited a 28-year exclusivity period is given the rate at which modern technology advances.

I fully agree, this is something that definitely would have been novel at the time, it's a good patent, but even 14 years later it's grating that fairly basic/obvious stuff to contemporary eyes is still patent-protected.
I think Rocket Chat started development after the Slack craze and tried to fill the niche of being an open source version of the latter. Since I last used it, it seems like a good alternative for on-premise, open source Slack-like, still.

Now that we have Matrix, I'm not sure where it's place is but I'm sure some orgs are fine using it for internal communications without having to pay Slack for your history/premium features?
We have gun laws, laws against shooting people, etc. We also have heavy penalties for breaking those laws, so I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. The issue isn’t a lack of laws, since those clearly exist.

I also find your argument disingenuous, since when Democrats talk about “gun control,” it is always in terms of banning/confiscation. I don’t recall any calls to ban SUVs because some dimwit ran over a bunch of old ladies in a parade a few months ago. Therefore, it seems to me that Democrats are standing on the graves of children to push their agenda, rather than trying to actually solve the issue of people wanting to mass-murder others.

Near Arlington and Richland. There's a walking trail there along Arlington that attracts a bunch of druggies and creeps. The Richland overpass also has homeless camps near it year round.

I think if you live further up the hill, there are fewer issues, but I was close enough to Bernal Heights, the J, 38, and BART, and the community garden--which all brought more riff-raff nearby.

How much money to add transit directions ?

I would absolutely love if this supported an API to get directions. I've worked on a few projects with public transit directions and I'd love to use a common base instead.
As an early 30s millenial, I received this exact advice when I was in my 20s. I hated it then, and I hate it now.

All of those things you mention require time. Not just ANY time, but expensive time. Time spent playing video games or using your phone or browsing the internet is cheap. It doesn't require driving, dealing with traffic. It doesn't require planning months in advance and using what little time off you get already. It doesn't require spending even more energy after you come home exhausted from work.

The reality is that time is expensive. And unfortunately most of your time spent goes to a job that doesn't compensate well for it. Even as a relatively successful software engineer I'm likely never going to own a home. So I can fully understand why Gen Z feels burned out when the prospects of a future barely exist.
Complete yet succinct explanation — bravo and i might steal this way of explaining it!
If global warming is the reason we care, CO₂ per passenger-mile (km, whatever) is what we should minimize. This includes the advantages of electric motors and nuclear power and transit and the disadvantages of coal power and low transit utilization.
Precisely and if you know the history and story of US intervention in sovereign nations and our habitual need to meddle in foreign elections as well as understand the role of the IMF, World Bank and WEF to be aids / tools in promoting US hegemony and neo-imperialism around the globe as well as ways the West extracts wealth from the global South, the picture and situation looks that much more sinister, evil and grim.

> or anyone who doesn't like big things.

There is definitely a significant lack of allergy to complexity among today’s software developers. Complexity is very bad, and it is usually not necessary. Lots of things that people write today are FAR more complex than necessary for no reason other than “best practice”.

Need to instantiate an object? Better have an AbstractObjectFactory, an IObjectFactory, an ObjectFactoryImpl, an ObjectFactory, and an ObjectBean or you will not make it through code review!

There is no room for simplicity in today’s software development world, no matter what language you use, unless you are ready to spend lots of time every single day explaining yourself. It’s sad.
Ah I forgot to describe the time dimension part!

With one spacial dimension x, and one time dimension t, you can roughly describe motion like this:

def move(speed, delta):
x += speed*delta

where `delta` is the change in time. In a 60fps game, delta = 1/60. Some games play with the `delta` for a "bullet time" effect. SuperHot is a game that employs this to great effect.

With 2D time, I imagine it as red-time and blue-time. It might look like this:

def move(speed_red, speed_blue, delta_red, delta_blue):
x += speed_red * delta_red + speed_blue * delta_blue

(This can be written more succinctly of course).

A mechanic of this game involves switching between red-time and blue-time at will. Most elements would only move in red time or blue time. But some elements might move in a mixture of both.

You can have arbitrary time dimensions, but I think two are plenty for this game. You can get real interesting with this mechanic. Velocity is preserved within a time-dimension, so you can "save" your momentum for later. You can have gravity with different strengths and directions for each time dimension.

There's a lot of reasons this won't work for a realistic simulation. I had spent some time thinking of a fan-sequel to Outer Wilds which utilizes two time dimensions, but I don't think I can write a physics simulation where that would make sense. But for a lil platformer it can be fun
When I started my career, most teams at my company were doing waterfall. The team I was hired onto was one of a couple guinea pigs for scrum.

The other teams would spend 6 weeks doing nothing but planning activities. After the planning was done, they'd do a 12 month dev cycle. Once that was done they would throw what they have over the fence for the QA cycle.

That is the world scrum was introduced to. People already thought planning and separate and couldn't be mixed. Scrum dragged them closer to interweaving them. People resisted, saying it was reckless and unprofessional. They looked at this and thought "so the plan is we don't plan anymore? we just wing it?".

I think Agile has won enough that perhaps many specific processes meant to bridge the gap are now dragging people away from being more Agile.
I don't think you could just kick your feet up and 100% retire with that much in the US. You'd likely have to get a job.

But, with a bit of passive income from investments, it doesn't have to be a particularly high-paying job. Nor does it have to be in or near the sort of city that has those high-pay jobs which means much, much lower cost of living since you aren't competing for housing/daycare/etc. with millionaires.
Mostly just that you can self-host this stack and keep your location information private (the way it should be). If you're fine sharing your current and future whereabouts with people then there's no need to self-host so you're free to pick whatever service is the nicest to use. For most people that's going to be Google or Apple maps, but there's definitely a niche for a project like this.

Compared to self-hosting an existing project, it is much easier to bring up a new Headway instance:

`make Seattle.up` will bring up a new instance on 8080.
And not everyone can be a Mozart but that's OK there's room between zero and genius. It took me too many years to realize that.
Some really fascinating studies have shown that your perception of time doesn't actually slow down in moments of heightened intensity, however the detail of the memory (when reflected on later) is higher than for a non-traumatic experience.

An interesting summary of how they studied this if you're curious:

If it's addressable memory, you can address it. That does not assume a stack however. You don't get to assume that they are in some order, not if you want your code to be portable. On typical architectures that do use a stack, if you're very careful, you do get to use the addresses of automatics to figure out whether the stack grows up or down, but that's not specifically something in standard C.

In 2017 i said "hmm nvidia cards are going for 15% above retail. i'll just wait to upgrade my circa-2012 video card until they are back in stock". Famous last words.
So it is very accurate to say 5% of the actual bitcoin participants—a very small number of people—own a supermajority of the currency, that the 8 billion of us are to share.

Brilliant.
I think this guy is very aggressive in this interview, I'm not sure what's the context but he definitely seems pretty fed up with the whole crypto stuff.

To be fair, I think a lot of the promises that the crypto-scene has been making for the past 6 or 7 years (specifically when smart contracts started to be a thing) have not materialised. Sure, people have gotten rich, but they haven't gotten rich in any other way than because they bought in early and everyone wants in as well. And all this money that has poured in has been, in turn, been used in massive advertisement campaigns to prop up the sector even more.

There is value in being able to "own" your money, I do think. But... the real value of that is when your money can be then used in the real world; traded for a government-issued currency. So that muddles things a bit because government-issued money has regulations in place that are in fact quite valuable for society. Governments are already working on digital currency that will offer most of the benefits that MOST people really want out of a "crypto": low fees, fast transfers, being able to have a wallet in your phone. Other than that, the value that people see in crypto is literally "well i pay 50 dollars now and tomorrow i have 500". That is not sustainable.

To me the biggest argument against crypto is the fact that, if it succeeds in what people want, some of us right now might be rich in 50 years whereas everyone being born in 50 years will already have "missed out". In an economic system? That's horrible. That's already what has happened to many of us with stocks and houses and other assets.

Yeah, I don't know. I still see some other benefits to smart contracts... the idea of distributed ledgers and being able to operate on them does sound good in theory but I'm not sure we really do need such degree of immutability. Any technology that truly decentralizes power is not something that you will ever see on a superbowl commercial.
I think what would really make a difference is carefully controlled UV or full spectrum because glass blocks the UV necessary for making D3.
>prioritise hanging out with my loved ones, whilst experimenting with ideas and exploring nature

I already do this so it's not a matter of money for me.

But in the spirit of your question, I once calculated that and $2M USD would hopefully set me for life (but not my offspring). It may not be enough as inflation is a real thing + as you get older health insurance becomes quite expensive.

Things to consider:

I live in an inexpensive city and don't plan to move to an expensive one.

I enjoy a frugal lifestyle.

I already own the house where I live in and don't owe anything to anyone.

If any of these things were different, I would definitely need much more money.
Symphony No. 9 was composed between 1822 and 1824, so around 200 years ago. It probably will still be as popular in 300 years time, but that is not a given. It is hard to say what society will look like and value 300 years from now.

I cite math papers written in the 19th century, and I suspect many people here will write math or comp sci-related papers cited in 200 years time. Certainly the contributions of contemporary mathematicians and scientists will endure, even if their names are lost to time.
