I’ve often idly wondered if the reverse has been done: taking video capture of the shadows of objects over time and using the sun’s known position to generate models of the building. I was thinking that might be one clues some of the auto-generated 3D buildings use in, for example, Apple Maps.
> This kind of claim is extremely common HN but utterly foreign as someone who actually writes C++ for a living.

OP said:

>> I've been engineering videogames in C++ for almost 20years working on AAA games

It seems like you're implying that every single business domain uses C++ the same way that your business domain does. Instead of insinuating OP is a common HN commenter that doesn't write C++ for a living, which seems to be an incorrect assumption, maybe you should recognize that not every business domain uses the same subset of C++ as you?

Your comment just reads as an arrogant opinion hiding behind a false sense of authority. It sounds like you're saying, "anyone that disagrees with my opinion must be some hobbyist programmer that doesn't know what a real programmer that does this for a living actually codes like". As if coding in a language for your job automatically implies that the code will be of a higher quality than hobbyist code. Its gatekeepy and gross imo.

I've worked professionally with disgusting C++11 code that was an amalgamation of code from some people that clearly knew what they were doing, and a lot of code that seemed to be from people that had no clue what was really happening. They had no clue because of all the hidden complexities in modern C++ that Herb Stutter is trying to reduce.
> What can one do under these circumstances, and let's face it, its found in the majority of employment contracts within the tech industry?

This highly depends on where you live, what you've signed, and the precedent that exists in your locale.

In California, for example, non-competes are unenforceable whereas in other states they are. However, you may be sued for other reasons.

If you're well paid, go pay a lawyer to look through your employment contracts to learn how you could go about doing it.

The Nescafé Equation (43 coffee beans) [video]
For much of my life, I was a jerk. I was insecure and often became offended and unkind when things didn't unfold the way I thought they should. It really screwed up my relationships and in my mid-50s, I found myself pretty much angry and alone in the world. I was constantly stuck in a story no one else really knew much about.

What I came to understand was that I had picked up certain ideas about myself over the course of my life. "I am this" and "I am that." They weren't really true, and so I was always kind of at odds with the world.

Over a period of years, I started to understand the situation better. I was fortunate to be able to hire a good therapist, and I worked with him for four years. I started reading about Buddhism, Advaita-Vedanta and other non-dual philosophies. I began to meditate and attend a local Buddhist temple.

I also listened to a lot of Alan Watts, Rupert Spira, Francis Lucille and other spiritual teachers.

I also read and watched a lot of the work of Sam Harris, Robert Sapolsky, Gabor Maté and others.

Eventually I came to realize that my false, egoic self was just an illusion, and that I no longer needed to take anything personally. I also developed a greater sense of compassion for other people, and started to notice how they were caught in the same trap that had held me for so many decades.

At this time, I don't really take things personally anymore. I'm generally at ease in the world. If this kind of stuff interests you, you might enjoy the following video:

I set aside time every summer starting in June for SCOTUS season, and read the cases themselves. This last season in particular was the worst for journalists violating my rule about primary sources: if the actual opinion isn’t linked, the journalist is pushing an angle. And boy were there’s angles pushed. It’s unfortunate because beyond the opinions themselves you can actually go listen to oral argument at Oyez. They even sync up the transcript with the audio.

My kids watch everything with closed captioning on (ages 10 and 7)! I think now I know why, and it's my fault: I used to always tell them to turn the dang volume down. I guess then they couldn't hear the dialogue, so they figured out how to turn on closed captioning.

Thanks. I think it's reasonable to ask an epistemic question about such an assertion. People sometimes respond with a single-word comment, "Source?", which sparks such a thread. Despite its brevity I (and apparently most HN readers) consider it a substantive comment.

In the case of my GP comment, I mentioned how I learned of it with that in mind. In my case, still hearsay of course.
Kind of. A simple hover, yes. But even then, there are some interactions that are fairly complex, and require in-depth understanding of the event model in order to implement correctly. Like knowing which events bubble and which don’t, for example.

I hear you though, it’s definitely more of a chore for devs to have to define all that stuff. But on the other hand, the UI would otherwise just be done by the time of handoff, which IMO would outweigh those cons.
Many Cherokee lived freely not all that long ago. Now some are wage slaves for Uber. Some west Africans lived freely, then were slaves in the USA, and their descendants now out of Jim Crow are wage slaves for gig companies. For others groups this process happened earlier.

There are those who work, and then there is an idle class aristocracy of heirs who do not work, but who expropriate surplus labor time from those of us who do work.

It is not the job of the working class to make convincing arguments to the parasites who live off their labor, it is the historical mission of the working class to eliminate the parasitic class which does not work, and which lives off worker's expropriated surplus labor time surplus.
It is not a good generalization. Life experiences are just as useful.
People have been suspended or banned for "misinformation" ranging from Covid treatments to perceived irregularities in the 2020 elections. The New York Post was censored by Twitter for its initial report on the Hunter Biden laptop, which was subsequently verified as factual. There are countless other such examples. Heck, a friend was suspended from Facebook for a political posting months ago, and he still hasn't been able to find out why.

I was in a position in my last role of being the voice of reason after my boss who was performing that role left.

The problem is some leadership truly wants to touch the hot stove, and eventually if you keep saying "don't touch the hot stove".. you're the "doesn't let me touch the stove guy".

So sometimes you have to let people touch the hot stove.. as a treat.

Because empathy and kindness have to be instilled in children for it to develop. We all have the capacity for it, but the capacity has to be nourished.

Adult lives generally unfold in either one of two ways:

1. Wondering how so many people have made it to adulthood without having developed empathy. Even if you ignore empathy as a moral condition, it's acquisition is a practical condition which is a pre-requisite for managing many other aspects of adult life (careers, relationships, interactions with strangers, etc.). The idea that so many people are roaming the earth without having developed this capability is astonishing, slightly terrifying.

2. Wondering why, despite all my best efforts, I am unable to connect with anyone. Does everyone else experience this profound sense of hurt and isolation? Even when I am with people, I feel alone. Nothing I do alleviates this condition, except momentarily. I feel like I even lack a connection to myself, or that my self doesn't exist, except maybe in rare moments. It's like there is a void and I must fill it with something: religion, drugs, sex, spending, etc.

> This has for consequence that many new big features are being requested and promised by management to headquarters. But in the last years, all bug evolutions have been failures. That's why I've been asked to intervene. I love the idea of the strangler pattern associated with big unit testing coverage.

The first thing that needs to be strangled is unachievable management promises. Figure out how to get local management to not write checks the tiny team can't cash. A team of 3 juniors will likely overestimate their ability to deliver, so you've probably got to teach them to say no to things they can't do also.

The `sin` function comes from this bit at the end of TFA:

instance VectorSpace d => Floating (Dual d) where
pi = D pi zero
exp (D u u') = D (exp u) (scale (exp u) u')
log (D u u') = D (log u) (scale (log u) u')
--->sin (D u u') = D (sin u) (scale (cos u) u')
cos (D u u') = D (cos u) (scale (-sin u) u')
sinh (D u u') = D (sinh u) (scale (cosh u) u')
cosh (D u u') = D (cosh u) (scale (sinh u) u')

and the `sin` function on the right-hand side comes from `Float`, since `Float` is the type of the argument `u` in `sin u` in `D (sin u) (scale (cos u) u')`.
My guess would be "yes" - at the very least within the spooky photogrammetry community where many images from far away planes | sats can be compiled to produce "best guesses" on ground structures and routine movement.

I stress "guess" as its essentially impossible to uniquely construct higher dimensional objects from sliced signals (or shadows) squashed to a plane (or lower dimension).

Another application area for this is remote exploration geophysics that "scans" a airplane (or drone or helicopter or car etc) across a landscape recording magnetics, gravity, radiomentrics, EM return strength, etc in order to build a best guess model of deeper objects of interest .. copper deposits, iron, geological structure, etc.

This is the arcane art of building 3D models from "shadows" .. but not the shadows you were thinking of teeray :)

Yes, it's easy to get an outcome you like by removing context.

But go ahead and do minimal work at all your jobs, then report how well that worked for you.

Then we can empirically see which world view is more accurate.

I've heard of a good idea to prevent this (besides captchas), which is that if a user/bot needs to be rate limited, the service starts to require a small proof of work task to be done, something that would take a typical device a few seconds.

If you have a genuine need to post something, waiting 5 seconds is not a big problem. But if your goal is to spam 1000 of something, now you need to wait 5 seconds between each post, and the task can be made progressively harder so that by item 1000 it's a 5 hour calculation rather than 5 seconds.
But suffering and wealth are mutually exclusive events. plenty of non-rich people also suffer. This would only apply if you knew the rich person was suffering. Without this info, it's reasonable to assume that their life is actually better.

There's a proverb that says, for every 3 people walking there's someone who can be your teacher.
This whole framing is bull. People who grew up without closed captions are just used to watching a show without it. For them, it’s distracting to constantly have words to look down and read when they are trying to pay attention to what is happening on the screen. Like trying to read the words on every single road sign when you drive somewhere.

You may notice that in movie theaters—the most focused and immersive watching experience there is—they don’t show captions except maybe when translating foreign language.

Or you may not, if you only watch movies at home on your TV.

It would be equally refreshing to see "moderation" advocates acknowledge that it's not just the "far right" being bullied and censored off of mainstream platforms.

That straw man incinerated and replaced with "mainstream conservative content", you still are not going to get any examples because the one providing that will be voted/flagged into invisibility, or if not that, the resulting discussion will be derailed into quibbling about the specific example rather than the much more important general principle.

It would be not at all honest to imply that this forum is anything but generally hostile to the American right, regardless of how extreme or not the take is. With that in mind, it is no surprise that specific positions are only ever mentioned indirectly, or negatively.
How are you handling infra/services/networking delivery with 100 silos/teams?
Hey good folks!

My $job recently made some large scale cloud commitments - the usual big main clouds (3 of them, just because one wasn't enough!), big contracts and plenty of buzzwords.

Working within the cloud practice for about a month, we are faced with plenty of cloud/staffing/knowledge/flexibility/technical issues. Both due to our scale and the hard questions that such a large technical undertaking is forcing us to face.

I'm curious to hear about other folks how they are approaching infra delivery at scale?

- Do you deliver "empty" projects in the cloud providers and let the service team figure out the rest? Do you run this as a professional service and assist teams to design / deliver their services.
- Do you have a happy/default path where everything runs in EKS/GKE/Openshift? What if a service team wants a FAT VM running Windows 2000 because some obscure business requirement?
- How do you manage the vast technical domain of 500+ different services across cloud providers?
- Do you enable all of the APIs of the cloud providers? Or do you restrict and have "safe/default" enabled?
- Do you have a cloud placement matrix for the cloud providers?
- How do you manage costs when you don't deliver the underlying services?
- How do you deal with teams that are just starting their cloud journey / early maturity level?
- How do you treat day 2 operations? Managed services / SRE? Push the ownership to the service teams?
- Do you have a community of practice for the cloud? How is that effort structured?

I've had some interesting discussions with a couple of friends, but curious to expand my perspective.
Great. Point to the line of the law that makes this distinction.
Have you considered why CS101 and data scientists may be adopting Python over JS?

And have a look at, say, Julia.
Rewrite is rarely the best approach. The best approach is to refactor it by order of importance. Break it up and go from there. If it's not broken, don't fix it.

The best approach is to:

-Assess the situation

-Create a task list

-Decide what needs immediate attention

-Create a time line for it all

-Get feedback from team

-Add the business roadmap to you list

-With upper management work on a timeline

-Define your project with realistic times

Execute and manage the project.

It took 12 years to get to this point so don't expect to change it overnight.

BTW, this type of team and codebase is not out of the ordinary. Companies start to program with the idea that eventually the problems will be fixed yet it never happens. Upper management does not care because all they care about is reducing cost and getting the results they need. You're dealing with the results.
