I would imagine profiting from experimental aircraft is forbidden mostly for safetly concerns, since you probably wouldn't want someone making a fleet of aircraft out of their garage and routinely selling flights with them. Certainly that aspect doesn't apply to drones tho, since there's no inherint safety risk that I can see.
I may have missed in those docs any mention of cross-compilation. The first result for 'cross compile racket' is [1]. Of course that's from 2013, so maybe it changed since then.

The company I work for just got hit with an Amazon SES probation for having too high of a bounce rate.

Investigating into this, I learned that you can set up SQS queues for SES bounces or complaints. Complaints? Yeah, SES somehow gets information back when you hit the "Spam" button in gmail. An acceptable complaint rate is below 0.1%, and if you go above it you can get banned from SES, from other emailing services like Mandrill, or if you're emailing directly to ISPs they can block you at their level.

So hit those spam buttons! Make email senders pay for bad email!

(My story had a happy ending-- I cleaned up what segment of users my company is sending service emails to and now our bounce rate is below 5% like it should be.)
> Don't model rockets routinely go much higher than the 400 feet the FAA has traditionally limited hobby aircraft to?

Even if they do, they're mostly cardboard, whereas model airplanes have things like small engine blocks. I bet a 737 engine could ingest a model rocket without anyone noticing.

That's interesting since e-prescribing through Surescripts requires what's known as a "Discrete Sig", i.e some measurable type of dose, whenever possible.

so true. I think there's only been a handful of major paradigm shifts in UI on the web that have justified a complete overhaul of a perfectly good UI (pure HTML -> CSS in the late 90s and then the rise of jquery/ajax and to a lesser extent the shift towards responsive and flat design.)

I guess a big OS is a different beast though as it's a billion dollar project in itself - I think at that point they just tweak a bunch of UI so people think they're getting something new.
I think there is a reason why Chinese money heads to West Coast USA / Canada and Russian money heads to UK. The large Asian population in the Coastal North American cities makes it a place that a rich Chinese person would actually want to live long term and send his family there. It is a place where they would have an easier time assimilating.

I think that can't be discounted.
Hi, I'm working on a library to allow something like this (rendering web UI's with a WebGL backend).

It's in very early stages. Feedback is very welcome:

Already occurs - The word Asian is used for people from East Asia, as well as people from anyhere in Asia regardless of which specific part with no regards to ethnicity.

The word 'Aboriginal' also means Indigenous Australians, with an alternate meaning the indigenous people of a non-specific land.

I'm Asian myself. Might I get annoyed with the word? It's a possibility in another universe. Would I be annoyed by people who use it because they use it differently to what I expect? No.

English is just another language. In javascript you might be annoyed scope for variables is different depending on whether var is present. Are you going to be annoyed at people who use the presence or absence of var to designate whether the variable is local or global, instead of using window.myvar exclusively for global variables?

Well that is your choice, and personally I'd rather be fine with it than to get angry at anyone who use the word Asian or Aboriginal or write javascript differently to what I expect, otherwise I'd be angry a lot, making myself and others more upset than is necessary.

Anyways it was my attempt to empathise with both of them.
This is why i really wish that some kind of "floppy" had kept up with HDD capacities. There the drive electronics etc was by design separated from the storage media. As such, having the control board or similar keel over meant getting a new drive.
It's definitely feasible! A goal for my side project is to give developers a React-like declarative UI with a WebGL rendering backend that abstracts away the graphics programming.
Yeah I tried to get back into it a couple years ago, because it is a cool game. But it was just simply no fun to play; it's obviously a game that mainly relies on being able to spend a lot of money buying power. Even at a tiny little shop, everyone had these insane combos and whatnot. Really impossible to win against without investing a lot.

My personal belief on the matter is that Ross would at some point in time need to hire someone. When you're in the drug business, internet or not, at some point in time you will have to deal with this kind of people. At that point you either become an ferocious animal - more ferocious than your opponents - or you do as the say OR you go home. Strangely no one chooses to go home (a bit a la Walter White).

Of course I can't be sure if he was serious about the 'hitman' or not. Probably he wasn't all that serious about it BUT at some point in time he would have to become either digitally or physically violent one way or another to protect what is his.

Now, considering a guy who made loads of money bulding an illegal marketplace online the "poster boy for privacy in the information age" while having characters like Assange and Snowden around is a shame IMHO.

Since ancient Greece (e.g. Antigone by Sophocles) there is a strugle between Human law and God's law (e.g. Ethics, True, etc.). Snowden falls in that category IMHO. What Ross did was both illegal and unethical.
I'm sorry, but that idea that because it exists outside the law, people can't settle disputes with anything other than murder is complete horseshit. They choose to employ violence, and as such, they are completely and 100% responsible for their actions.
Honestly for well designed modern-ish renderers this sort of thing tends not to be as big of a deal as it might sound.

In general most of the additional steps are things people already do. e.g. you shouldn't be deleting textures that are in use anyway because not all drivers have always handled that well, etc, managing the equivalent of a command buffer is common, even when the actual command buffer isn't something you have access to...
Except that it would all still be done via a layer of javascript (using asm.js may mitigate this)
I wrote up a project plan that details the players and some of the steps to get HL7 data through the traditional integration methods that exist today. Check it out: https://catalyze.io/learn/how-to-integrate-with-epic-or-any-...

I think FHIR only helps this process if it standardizes/centralizes security. So much of the process of setting up integration is getting whitelisted by an organization and setting up VPNs and other security measures that have nothing to do with HL7 or FHIR or IHE profiles. If startups have to establish credibility and integrity at each hospital they go to, the cycle will continue even with a public API.

That all sounds weak to me. Google largely abandoned Google Code before all the developers fled to Github. One of the reasons people went to GitHub because it was clear that Google was no longer investing in Google Code. You're painting a picture where Google is just a passive entity that has no control over what developers do, it just meekly follows them around. That is hardly giving an impression that developers are a high priority to Google. If they were a high priority, Google would want them all using a Google service, and be willing to invest in that to keep them there, not cede them to third party.
So very correct. I've solved the problem but, unfortunately there is no way to graft it on to current solutions. There is no way to take data from an inherently low resolution, poorly modeled system and turn it reliably into complete, well modeled data with standard terminology codes. You need to use a new system.

Try convincing anyone of that after a painful, multi-year, billion dollar Epic installation

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to comment.

> The hope with sane mode (or whatever less able-ist name it should have) is to have no runtime semantic change if the mode directive is not recognized

From my limited understanding, old browsers can't handle 'let' anyway, which is supposed to be used exclusively on this mode (as there will be no 'var'). But you probably know more about this than me.

> making hidden time bombs for older browsers to find blowing up in their faces at later dates: Not Good.

Doesn't that happen all the time? What I mean is: If ES6 becomes widely supported in browsers, pages written on it will make old browsers "blow up", too. Unless the people who program those make two versions, which defeats the point of using ES6 in the first place. The same when a new version of CSS comes out - use that, and the old browsers "blow up", too.

It seems to me it is the nature of the beast - new features make old browsers blow up.

In all of those examples, those actions are so far beyond the point of "bad" that one being worse than the other is largely an academic argument, and completely moot.

Except a huge reason they refuse to conform to standards is because you are asking them to do a lot of extra work for no extra pay. The EMR systems, by and large, are not good. The user interfaces do not make it easy to conform to standards. It is not reasonable to expect docs to do it under those circumstances.

The terms here are necessary to provide the services that we offer via Algorithmia. We need the right to run your code and make it available. It needs to be in perpetuity so that consumers of the API can put it in production with the assurance that it will continue to be available in the future.

That being said, the quoted passage lacks the context of the rest of our terms -- namely, yes, we get the right to make your work available, but in return it's OUR obligation to share the profits with the original authors.

> I'm sorry, but that idea that because it exists outside the law, people can't settle disputes with anything other than murder is complete horseshit.

Please explain to me how two criminals who have some sort of dispute -- like say how to disburse the proceeds from a robbery -- have any recourse through the courts. I'm not saying violence in the ONLY answer, but it's definitely the only one that I can think of that doesn't involve them going to jail.

They can't sue because the thing under dispute is an ill-gotten-gain and thus the court wouldn't adjudicate the issue that is for them at hand but instead put them both in jail for stealing.

What are their other choices? Just suck it up and deal with the fact that they got screwed? Sure, but then the next time a robbery comes around, everyone knows that they can screw you and you'll just suck it up. Yay, free labor! That won't end badly for you will it?

Maybe they can pre-negotiate a contract that specifies how a certain sum of money will be distributed but which doesn't specify how it comes to be? Why would a law-abiding person write such a contract? Take them to court and you might win, but the police might investigate and again you're both in jail.

I'm not saying that there is no possible alternative ever, but your simply asserting that something is true and then providing absolutely no evidence whatsoever to back up that claim isn't terribly convincing.

> "The city applauds her efforts in trying to be entrepreneurial, but it is important to seek professional advice in relation to legal requirements."

This is already how we do it on most consoles. The CPU has to sync with the GPU to know when the resources associated with draw commands are safe to release. Having something like glTexImage2D is way too high level for these graphics APIs and would be a luxury. Instead we get a plain memory buffer and convert manually to the internal pixel format.

There is no waiting to free resources however, unless either the CPU or GPU is starving for work. We have a triple-buffering setup and on consoles you also get to create your own front/back/middle surfaces as well as implement your own buffer swap routine. This provides a sync point where we can mark the resources as safe to release.

It's definitely more complexity on the engine part, but as mentioned in the forum post it makes everything much, much easier when you get to debug and tune things. Also having to implement (or maintain) all of that engine infrastructure gives us a better perspective into how the hardware works and how to optimize for it.

However, even with Vulkan or DirectX12 I doubt NVidia or AMD will expose their hardware internals publicly which is critical in optimizing shader code. On consoles we get profilers able to show metrics from all of the GPU's internal pipeline. It makes it easy to spot why your shader is running slow without having to send your source code to the driver vendor.
Try playing draft, instead.
Well, beyond the local area it allows you to "peek" in whatever geographic location you please. Sort of cool but I've found that, unless you're "peeking" at a real cultural-specific location, everyone just sort of says the same stuff.
I love this talk, and Rich Hickey's talks in general, but
I think this goes beyond that.

At one point you want full control of the HW, much like you did with game consoles..

On the other you want security: This model must work in a sandboxed (os, process, vm, threads, sharing etc.) environment, along with security checks (oldest one that I remember was making sure vertex index buffers given to the driver/api must not reference invalid memory, something you would make sure is not the case for a console game through tests, but something that the driver/os/etc. must enforce and stop in a non-console game world - PC/OSX/Linux/etc.)

From little I've read on this API, it seems like security is in the hands of the developer, and there doesn't seem to be much OS protection, so most likely I'm missing something... but whatever protection is to be added, definitely would've not been needed in the console world.

Just a rant, I'm not a graphics programmer so it's easy to rant on topics you just scratched the surface...

(Not sure why I can't reply to jeremiep below), but thanks for the insight. I was only familiar with one I posted above (and that was back in 1999, back then if my memory serves me well, drawing primitives on Windows NT was slower than 95, because NT had to check all index buffers whether they were not referencing out-of-bounds, while nothing like this was on 98).
I don't know. The armor is a bit too close to the skin for comfort. There will be quite a bit of heat dissipated, to say nothing of purely mechanical shockwaves and deafening noise.
Are there any alternatives that allow the use of SVN? I use Google Code to store my Skyrim mods-- because Skyrim mods heavily depend on being in the Skyrim folder structure, I need to have them on SVN (or TFS, I guess) so I can create "sparse" repos. Git doesn't allow this.
FYI there is a public proposal on GitHub for an API which would allow developers to control the banner more, particularly it's timing or suppressing it. Hopefully this will happen soon. https://github.com/slightlyoff/AppInstallImprovements/blob/m...

We are a brand new music startup with 5k users (in 3 months), growing at 15% every week.

We cannot monetize the content (don't pay royalties, stream through other services) and we're having a hard time coming up with a business model for the investors we're in talks with. The business models in digital music are not yet completely validated, and will possibly evolve.

We aggregate quality data, and have a clear exit strategy. Do you think that having an exit strategy is enough to raise this round?
At the time, I had notions that I would do the work that I described needing done. But my work changed quite a bit after that, I got dragged back into the .NET world, started screwing around with Node on the side, and just never got back around to Racket. I'm a bit disappointed in myself for it, actually, but such is life.

As for Racket's website, it's significantly better now then what it was when I wrote that blog post. I don't know if it was based off of my recommendations, but it definitely improved things quite a bit.

Ruby's site has also dramatically changed and I'm not sure it's been for the better. It looks like a generic WordPress theme now.
