DirectX was simply a better API. Game dev is hard enough without dealing with OpenGL's jank-ass state machine, which adapted to vertex and pixel shaders about as well as the Unix process model adapted to threading. One of the great tragedies in 3D graphics is that Project Fahrenheit never got off the ground. Under Fahrenheit, OpenGL would be put out to pasture, DirectX would become the new low-level standard, and a higher level scene graph API would be built on top of DirectX.
Interesting scaling as diffusion in a uniform space goes like x^2 ~ t, or t~x^1/2. So I’d expect the time to equilibrate to go like a length to the 1/2. Maybe that works out if the length is some power of n in this case? Or maybe this space is just very different from a uniform one.

When you find yourself saying "a bit sociopathic, sure", please take a step back, and think about what you really want to acheieve in your short time on earth. Wouldn't you like be able to say you spent your life trying to make the world a little less shitty? Or are those dividends really that important to you?

I say this because, you say youre just toying with the idea. So something is holding you back. I think you know it's not something worth doing, and I think you're right.

Not saying we can ever be 100% free of moral impurity in our investment decisions. After all, there are unsavory things about most big companies. But it's another thing to go out of your way to support things repulsive to your own values. I hope you don't go that way. The little money youd make from it isn't worth the guilt you'd feel.
Here's some evidence (including reposting the links that OP provided). Enjoy!

- AFAIK it didn't happen yet

- Who tells you that Mozilla won't do it?

- Criminal should know better than to use Chrome and Firefox, at least not without additional protection, and it includes disabling telemetry in both products.

I am not saying that Google can't do anything bad to me, I just trust that they won't. Answering the other comment about Nest camera, I didn't see any example of Google actually handing out data to police without a warrant, they are just saying that they can. I already know that they can, what I want to know is what they did. I also have no real reason to fear Mozilla, and I left telemetry enabled.

But I think that if you really want people to take your commitment to privacy seriously, "I collect data but trust me, I won't do anything bad" is not enough, I want that of course, but I also want technical commitment, and telemetry that is not strictly opt-in is a big no.

For me, vanilla Firefox is not a privacy-focused browser (and neither are Chrome and Edge). For me the criteria is: would I use it to commit a serious crime? If the answer is "no", it is not private. It is not that I want to commit a crime, or that privacy=crime, but that's like a litmus test. In fact I didn't even look into it but TOR browser comes to mind, it is based on Firefox, but of course, telemetry has been removed.
How does a party of such people organize? What policy positions could they hold on abortion, lgbtq rights, and gun rights that will lead to wide appeal?
Yes and even at 2) some subtleties start. You can set up a connection, send a chunk of bytes, and close it. If you reach a clean connection close, you can be sure that all your bytes have reached the other side. As soon as you start sending multiple logical messages over a persistent connection and an error occurs, you need to write application logic to figure out where to pick up again after you reconnect. Even if you want to know which parts of your stream have already reached the other side, you need to add logic for that. This “multiple transactions over a persistent connection” may sound really straightforward but it’s not built into TCP itself.
My expertise goes as far as drama TV - but uh since this is a corporation, wouldn't the fine be more like average daily revenue /2 ? A night in the pokey seems pretty common, and that's kinda as close as you can get for the company.

Maybe a night in jail isn't all that common though. Sure seems reasonable and effective.
Change in acceleration is one. I always wondered if we could feel that.
> You think he doesn’t want these devices?

Don't Chinese people want the social credit system too?

You clearly glossed over the more important factor "is used by police to selectively enforce crimes, sometimes also altering the evidence". So, no, your "buddy in Humbolt park" doesn't want this when he gets accused of a crime he didn't commit. He wants actual systematic changes to an impoverished areas - black or white.

> If white neighborhood residents were being murdered in their streets

Hilarious, because this statement displays your inherent bias, which is that you automatically presume white neighborhoods are rich and therefore don't have problems with residents shooting each other!
You need cause to investigate someone. So sounds like even if shot spotter is not accurate, it’s still effective. Criminal is a criminal.
In that case, a technology encouraging them to go out expecting armed resistance when no crime has been committed is an obvious danger for the community.
As I understand it, only components that read from context render when state changes. If you want/need more granular control, you have Memo at your fingertips.

Further, the entire point of global state is you only put the stuff in there that might actually require child components get re rendered. If you're shoving everything into global state or using context when you don't need it you're doing a lot of things wrong and it's likely you'd abuse redux as well.
I do agree with making it easy to constrain what you write. But I don't think having lots of core language features is a good way of doing that. A core language feature is generally an ad-hoc special case that breaks the rules of the language, almost by definition. Which means it probably interacts poorly with other language features. (For example, if you use a language which has keywords for async and keywords for exceptions, they will probably interact badly; if you use a language that encourages ordinary functions for async and error handling, they will probably play nice together).
Oh man, I remember a podcast with a network guy in Germany and he hated 'super-vectoring' so much and ranted about it. Basically a way for the telco to get lots of money for not building any fiber.
You'd have to ask London police, since they don't. So my Fermi estimate would be somewhere between US and UK rates.
They have weird requirements for citations. Want to cite a link to a blog where a guy has spent 20,000 hours researching a topic but doesn’t have a degree? Not allowed. Want to post a link to a NYT article written by a journalist with no relevant experience in that same field? Go for it. It’s really strange. It’s like they’re aiming for narrative over fact or something.
That's where "like that" comes from. We're certainly not at the point where our attention is theoretically maximized.
What comes after jerk? Also it’s weird to think velocity has inertia but acceleration doesn’t.
It’s called jerk and it’s what gives you a whiplash feeling.
That depends entirely on what you consider as crime worth pursuing.

For example, it's well documented wage theft is a much bigger crime in terms of monetary value than all forms of robberies combined. But those criminals don't get nearly the same level of enforcement as robbers do.
This is how I've always seen it as well, though I consider myself independent.

It's funny the issues you mention are commonly held by quite a few people I know, myself included. "Why can't the gay couple up the street get married, while smoking weed and shooting off some rifles?" is how I describe my views.

I've definitely noticed that the amount of people I meet with views like that have been a little rarer lately.
Surely, "jerk" has been an issue in many presidential reelection campaigns — even, long before CREEP.
A fun question I was thinking about: If I were able to go back in time to 1948 and ask the coroner if it might be possible identify the mystery man by finding people related to him by using microscopic hereditary information extracted from a few of his hairs, would the coroner agree that it might be theoretically possible far in the future, or would he think I was a nutcase?

It wasn't until 1952 that DNA was confirmed to be the carrier of hereditary information[1]. Would an average (educated) person in 1948 even suspect that such a thing might be possible, or would it sound like crazy science fiction?

I wonder what astounding forensic techniques will emerge 50 years from now that might be applied to solve present day mysteries. Probing people's brains—living or dead—to directly extract memories? What else?

> Teams typically implement their earliest version of an access control system with a home-grown solution or an open source library. Many implement role-based access control, often with roles, attributes, and authorization logic hard coded and/or tightly coupled with their business logic.

Here's the thing, teams do this for a reason. Each one of these checks takes all of 2 minutes to add. And the next one takes 2 mins to add, and so forth. Until it's a total mess. But, as someone who been through this cycle multiple times, that's exactly what I would do again in the future. Because, on day zero, if my options are "the 2 minute solution" or "spend hours/days/weeks? evaluating a vendor for a problem I won't have for years"... well, the choice seems pretty clear there.

> As a product grows in usage and complexity, this is no longer enough.
But the thing is... while it's not enough... I can add to it. Far more easily than I can to refactor everything to support a vendor provided system. And I know it'll be a big ball of mud, but at just about every decision point along the way I'm better off not switching. And every time I add something to my system, it's that much harder to adopt yours.

It feels like there's a circular dependency here. The easiest time to adopt your product (day zero) is also when I'm least likely to get value out of it. Solve that for me, and I'm very interested in your product.
Huh, thanks for this link! Very interesting read, did not know tooling like this existed (I assumed that crossgrading in the post was a manual/unsupported process).
None of this sounds like botched work. It sounds like someone trying to maintain a strict deadline, willing to bend the limits of the work place norms and in this particular instance, I respect that.
>Like I said, the updating process is so onerous that women aren't considered equals under the constitution

Mind pointing out where exactly in the current, live form of the constitution where women are not considered equal?
To me this is obviously unethical, but wouldn't this also be obviously unconstitutional in the US? At least if done deliberately? 14th amendment and all that.
tl;dr: use strlcpy instead.

I second the "style" aspect. For a games example, Call Of Duty vs Borderlands - both FPS but the visual styles are worlds apart.

This could provide a new tool, and maybe remove some jobs. But it will make new jobs related to this new tool.
I did R&D work for an NGO developing a clone of shotspotter and its kind. I spent an enormous amount of time examining all the variants on the market, including the last two decades of military versions from around the world. I documented all of their various accuracies across all the various axes, how many microphones they used, etc. I also went deep into the academic research to learn all the varied algorithms in use.

When I mentioned it to a family member who is also a police officer, he related that a shotspotter had detected an explosion "right in a guy's backyard." It was clear to me that no device on the market, nor algorithm could figure out that close of a pinpoint. Of course I kept my mouth shut so as to not ruin a holiday. But that was just more undoing of my trust and more indoctrination in one is supposed to remain in a state of denial or cognitive dissonance.

Anyway, just another police technology like polygraphs, DNA, and fingerprints with two stories. One, what it actually does, and two, what police pretend it does.
So you have one centrist with those opinions, and another centrist with the exact opposite opinions. I’m not sure centrist is a useful label.
> nothing in it that considers women equal to men

The 14th amendment covers this. It requires all persons to be treated equal under the law.
I don’t think it was “just” that as I think they also improved/updated the map data which was likely a lot of work.
Not directing this comment at you, but to the other children of this thread:

So much criticism of wikipedia seems to come down to: wikipedia did X. I think X is wrong. Other people don't see it that way. I don't want to spend the time proving my point. How dare wikipedia not just take me, a random internet stranger, at my word.

All i want to know is how do y'all think it could possibly work differently? Everybody thinks they are right. Nobody intentionally is wrong. Obviously if you just show up, unwilling to explain why you are right or unwilling to accept compelling counter arguments to your point, its not going to go your way. Why would anybody think it would?
Reads to me like op’s example is a fourth derivative as they are slowing the pace!
I hate it. I hate it all.

I voted for `@nest all` because I don't think it's a feature I will EVER use, so I wanted it to be dumb obvious that someone is using it by explicitly putting @nest in the code. That way if I encounter it in the wild, I'll be less likely to confuse it with SCSS nesting, for example.
On TV they need the “getting back at the man” narrative to get viewers juices going.
I'd be happy if they just left it here. You can only nest pseudo-classes and pseudo-selectors, and everything else either use your own tool to generate the CSS or just not not nest.

You got me.

I was actually talking about code in general but then I threw the wrong card at you, because you had me cornered and I panicked. Please accept my apologies.

But I'm still in the right and you're still in the wrong. Because what you are saying is "my disciples, go into the night and depend on whatever you may, because depending on things is the way, for I will be rich if you do."

'Tis not the way. Is all I'm sayeth.
#1 The likely scenario we don't yet have evidence to make a strong claim about: it's a huge effect

#2 The conservative position: it's going to have an effect

#3 The radical position that goes completely against any existing science: it won't have any effect

Why choose #3?
I was at the 1995 MacWorld. I saw a lot of "Windows 95 = Mac '84" and "C:\ONGRTLNS.W95" T-shirts about. Then again, the first machine I saw actually running Windows 95 was a Mac, I believed equipped with SoftPC, at that same expo.
The microphones are not hidden you can see them, they are just discreet.
I think, what you are addressing is social convention and social norms, which are enforced by social sanctions only. However, while these are soft norms, laws are hard norms and enforced by the legal system, which is an important difference. Therefor (however we may feel about this) something may be intuitively and morally wrong, but still perfectly legal. Still, this may subject to social action, which may be what you are aiming at. This is, what civil society is about.
Very well written , thanks!!

I'm planning on diving into developing Android apps (no iOS at all) and I have experience in React. So let me be that guy and ask what would be better for me; React Native, Flutter or Compose? I'll mostly be developing small apps for my personal use and will also be publishing them on the Play Store. No performance heavy apps atm.
2/3rds are unhappy with the two main parties but they're not unhappy in the same ways, so it's not possible for any third party to capture that 67% or probably even 33% or 3.3%. Once they come up with their own bundle of positions, most people are going to be unhappy with something in their platform. Living in an intersectionalist age, anything other than absolute compliance with one's unique set of positions makes others unacceptable and often are seen as being just as "evil" as those who are 100% opposed.
Actually, your mention of campaign contributions and "give money" suggests that you don't understand Citizens United. I write that because Citizens United had nothing to do with contributions to a politician's campaign.

The question in Citizens United was whether some folks can get together and make a movie advocating against a political candidate without being subject to campaign finance laws.

There's no question that the NYT (and unions) can advocate for/against a candidate in any way that it sees fit; the question in CU was "are other groups different?"

The CU decision was "there's no difference between the NYT and any other group. If you have a way of speaking, you can politic with that way as you see fit."

Feel free to explain why the NYT (and unions) shouldn't be limited but others should be. (Condo associations often put news in their newsletters, so ....)

Alternatively, explain how you're going to limit the NYT's ability to advocate for political candidates and causes without repealing the 1st amendment.
>that it still has nothing in it that considers women equal to men, despite women's right to vote, pay taxes, own businesses, etc. being established decades ago.

Mind pointing out where exactly in the current, live form of the constitution where women are not considered equal to men?
Neural nets can do style transfer. It might be as simple as making photorealistic models and then transferring a style from a handful of non-realistic samples.

The US didn't create Starlink, SpaceX did and they did it without a government grant. They did what they thought would solve the issue of internet connectivity and make a lot of money with it.

Sure they will have many government including military, emergency services, coast guard, NASA and so on.

Starlink has many use-cases for the military they certainty didn't create it with that application as the primary goal. The primary goal is making money to fund SpaceX.
RStudio is my IDE of choice for Python. Works well with any conda env.

As a long time R user though, R is not synonymous with RStudio, as one previous HN commenter claims in this thread.

RStudio is a great env, but command line R or R straight out of emacs is eccellent too.
Which even then was a fun playable game to anyone that played it. It was just over-hyped was all.
Fun fact: the derivatives of position after velocity, acceleration, and jerk are snap (or jounce), crackle, and pop.

As with almost everything that comes out of Wenzel Jakob's lab at EPFL, the documentation for Mitsuba 3 is _incredible_. Check out this writeup of how polarization is handled in Mitsuba 3 (complete with animated diagrams): https://mitsuba.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/key_topics/pola...

That writeup is PhD Thesis material in terms of scope and detail, but the student that wrote it, Tizian Zeltner, actually wrote his PhD on another topic entirely. This is just the level of stuff that routinely comes out of that lab.
There's an asteroid headed for earth. It's going to kill us all. We need to drop everything, including our effort on climate change, to redirect it. I can't actually find the asteroid, but should we still follow through with my demands?
>bullets, bullet holes, property destruction

Find the bullet hole, and you've found the property destruction, and the bullet is either embedded in the property destruction or fragmented all of over the place, as bullets often do. So you could have just said "property damage."

But tell you what, I'll go downtown and shoot a black paintball in a random direction, and tell you roughly where I was when I shot it, within 100m. It will be your job to find where that paintball hit. Good luck finding your evidence.

>casings

Casings are easier to find, but still very difficult if you don't have the precise location of where the shooting took place.

>victims

Firearm discharges don't always result in victims, or even victims willing to come forward.

What are you honestly expecting cops to do when there's a gunshot report? Spend hours combing the city for some rogue bullet holes? It's not realistic. The best evidence you're going to get is rushing to the area where shots were reported and finding someone fleeing.
No, as that would be a purposeful misinterpretation of the intent of the original poster, if it was obvious they didn't mean it to be interpreted that way.

Even if the response that used it differently was meant to make a valid point (I believe it was, as they expanded on it later), the way they used minority did nothing to help that point and instead caused unnecessary contention.

It would have been far more effective for their point to say "Jackson MS has a population and police department that are both majority black, and they still choose to deploy shotspotter in black neighborhoods.". Then we could jump right to exploring reasons why that might be, including valid uses of shotspotter because of effectivenessas well as other incentives regardless of it's effectiveness.
RI/NY doesn't seem right
You're answering a point no one made. No one is saying crime is good, yet your comment is mostly trying to sell how bad gun violence is?

During the "war on drugs" black men were getting snatched left and right, destroying communities. Now the fruits of that come back to create violence, and your answer is to push an expensive heavily flawed automated police lead generator?

Shotspotter is broken. It constantly results in false alarms and false stops to go with them, it's not effective enough to be reproducible, they openly admit to letting police override their classifications...

It's an expensive farce that isn't helping anyone.
The other side to that is that MS appeared to "stuff" ISO committees in various places to force it through, and didn't provide enough detail in their huge spec for true interop.

Perhaps neither was perfect, but it certainly seemed like MS played dirty.
I’m not a software god. I am unable to impose my will upon any codebase I have ever touched for eternity. I admit somebody is eventually going to rewrite and refactor and extend my shit code which was written with the curse of knowledge, minimal review, minimal testing, and never having to handle more than a narrow set of use cases. Code which may have been easier to write and more efficient than the libraries available but that is going to be thrown out when somebody has to maintain my handwritten JavaScript framework replacement and goes “what the fuck”.

Somebody who only uses their own code has awful taste in code.
