In our newest tutorial, we discuss the history of image dehazing, show how to set an image dehazing task up in a notebook, and then examine 7 different techniques for performing image dehazing with deep learning!
CORBA and RMI are quite different from gRPC. (I have not used ONC-RPC.)

Both of those are explicitly centered on objects and locality transparency. The idea is that you get back references to objects, not mere copies of data. Those references act as if they're local, but the method calls actually translate into RPC calls, as the local reference is just a "stub". Objects can also contain references, meaning that you are working on entire object graphs, which can of course be cyclical, too.

These technologies (as well as Microsoft's DCOM) failed for many reasons, but it was in part because pretending remote objects are local leads to awful performance. Pretty magical and neat, but not fast. I built a whole clustered system on DCOM back in the late 1990s, and it was rather amazing, but we were also careful to not fall into the traps. One of the annoying bugs you can create is to accidentally hold on to a reference for too long in the client (by mis-implementing ref counting, for example); as long as you have a connection open to the server, this creates a server memory leak, because the server has to keep the object alive for as long as clients have references to them.

Ultimately, gRPC and other "simple" RPC technologies like Thrift are much easier to reason about precisely because they don't do this. An RPC call is just passing data as input and getting data back as output. It maps exactly to an HTTP request and response.

As for REST, almost nobody actually implements REST as originally envisioned, and APIs today are merely "RESTful", which just means they try to use HTTP verbs as intended, and represent URLs paths that map as cleanly to the nouns as possible. But I would argue that this is just RPC. Without the resource-orientation and self-describability that comes with REST, you're just doing RPC without calling it RPC.

I don't believe in REST myself (and very few people appear to, otherwise we'd have actual APIs), so I lament the fact that we haven't been able to figure out a standard RPC mechanism for the web yet. gRPC is great between non-browser programs, mind you.
1. They setup another project either by forking some existing code or writing their own - statistically nobody in the cryptocurrency world does real-world diligence so you’re talking, what, a web page, a few GitHub profiles and some people talking it up? That’s tiny by the standards of most national police or intelligence budgets.

2. Compromising someone’s project - want to bet someone wouldn’t agree to “accidentally” make a bug in exchange for a shorter sentence? (I’m not saying everyone who works on these are drug dealers or something but I’d bet there are a lot of cases for tax evasion threats given the ideology)

3. Mixers are critically dependent on having enough volume to meet demand but using one adds cost and persecution risk so most people don’t use them. If you knew someone like the DPRK was trying to launder a large amount of money, they’d be limited based the number of other participants – especially as news like today’s tells everyone that using a mixer means a non-trivial risk of permanently tainting the tokens you launder. If you started submitting transactions to and from your own wallets, you could make the analysis problem easier by ensuring that most of the participants are secretly known to you.

> “feel part of something,”

I feel part of many things. I feel part of my family. I feel like a pet owner. I feel part of a social group. I don't need to feel part of my work. And employees were not more engaged prior to the pandemic. People quit just as often.

It is interesting from a linguistic point of view, no doubt, and I am an amateur etymologist myself, but let's look at reality with honest eyes: apart from a very small group of people, languages are not learnt, and learnt effectively, starting from the etymology up. I know it is almuerzo, I use it 20 times, and it is "mine".

I think we should try, and I include myself among those who have an approach to learning that is at times too cerebral, to look at how things work more than how interesting would be if they worked in a particular way.
I actually worked on some of the obfuscation for the SDK back when I worked there. :)

The goal wasn't to promote software freedom but to ensure that anyone could simply download the DLLs and use it in their software without needing to sign an NDA, beg for permission or deal with patent bullshit.

The reality is that there is millions of dollars of R&D in the source code for this (primarily through stuff like camera calibration data, but also the maths in n the background) that they don't want ripped off by competitors.

GitHub understands that and they are within their right to take down repositories that are violating sanctions. So you're talking to projects like Tor, Signal (who repeatedly attempted to violate sanctions [0]) Matrix, etc which have been used to evade sanctions.

For any project that is self-hosting, like Tor which allows criminals, scammers and money launderers to access the internet and the 'dark web' and bypass sanctions with high anonymity and are self-hosting at [0]. Perhaps the FBI should 'take them down' immediately?

What are they waiting for then?

I don't really know much about the history of education, I only read the article I linked. From what I understand from that, it is not so much that constructivism has been debunked, but rather that in order to explain something properly, you need to understand it yourself deeply. Now, many teachers don't actually understand math on that level. So it will be difficult for them to teach it based on constructivism. That seems to me to be the main difficulty. Also, everybody understands things differently, so even if the teacher is capable, how do you scale that for an entire classroom?

It was probably downvoted because it isn't true.

I've been curious if video codecs could be repurposed to store voxel data. Most approaches seem to use image stacks, but there's inherently going to be a lot of redundancy from slice to slice.

I'm sure a purpose-built format could be better with enough effort, but there's a lot of work put into video compression, so it seems like there might be a way to leverage that for some cheap improvements to 3D data storage. The storage solution that I've seen in practice has just been a folder of TIFs, so it seems like there's lots of room for improvement.
Nope, that's just a proxy/cache.

You are completely misunderstanding. Multiple topological dimensions, not spatial, and this isn't surprising at all.

I'm the same. Before I moved from the city of Brisbane (Aust) I used to often stop at this old book store on my way to uni. This is a book store that would store / sell older books and manuals, and it had a reasonably nice technical section.

I like to read older ways of doing things, and thinking back to the difference between what they knew then compared to what we know and have available now. Sometimes I get hopeful that there's some "old method" that could help solve something of today's challenges, which has just been lost in time, but that hasn't happened yet, atleast for my work. :)

(Most of the stuff there was for civil engineering, but occasionally had some nice finds. I found a 1960's radio engineering textbook that was stuffed with 1960's money including $1 and $2 bank notes, made of paper!)

> And employees were not more engaged prior to the pandemic. People quit just as often.

Is that actually true about the quitting? But regardless, I don't think that really captures engagement all that well.

You can be barely engaged in a job that doesn't require a lot from you and do it for years and years. And OTOH, I think engagement can sometimes cause people to quit more easily. If you want your work to be a meaningful and important part of your life, you want more from your job, and might leave readily if you're not getting all that you want. Compared to: if your job is mostly just a paycheck for you, you're not really looking to get much out of it other than that paycheck, and so are happy to keep working at the job even if it's not giving you other things, as long as nothing gets too actively bad.

The typical trick is to flash colors on the screen facing the user. The light bounces back off of skin differently than a screen.
I believe they were considering the physical aspect of tech. The physical aspect doesn't usually catch up to people until they are much older and have not been taking care of themselves and not taking "walking breaks" and have been sitting all day, staring at screens and eating from the snack foods in the break room. It caught up to me and I made significant changes in my life. Exceptions of course would be if you are Datacenter Operations or if you have to move PC's around all day. That can as difficult as a warehouse worker if the management team do not give you the right tools and enough breaks.

Every company that has humans likely has some management structure and coworkers and all of those environments can wind someone up and burn them out. Company culture and ethics are a big part of it. Changing a culture in a company is not usually possible and that is why folks will usually leave to find what they perceive to be greener pastures.

I also like bidding systems. Bid some in game resource for the right to go first. On ties, pick at random. If the game is popular the meta will converge on a fair bid to null out the advantage, and may evolve over time. Twilight Struggle is a great 1v1 board game that settled on this.

If that extra strength/endurance doesn't translate to much better health outcomes, but only marginally better, then it's kind of moot. And we do know that there are diminishing returns after some point (and even inverse returns: pro athletes and people training too hard often have health issues because of their extreme training).

The science on all of this stuff is really sketchy. Perhaps people who exercise a lot may live longer not due to the exercise itself, but because they see their doctor more often and treat chronic disease such as heart problems sooner and have higher incomes, higher IQs, and better healthcare. Manual laborers don't live longer than white collar workers. Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger have terrible diets and do no exercise yet are both still healthy and fully active at 91. Same for William Shatner, who went to space at 90. Genes play a huge role too.
