Great to see that Python3 support for frameworks such as Flask and Django are catching on. I personally feel that the big frameworks should push more when it comes to the adaption of Python3. The only reason I ever still use Python2 is because of frameworks such as Twisted[1] not supporting Python3 yet.

That just comes as a % related on how much (average) time people played the same game with and without the nose. 13.5 percent refers to those ~90 seconds added playtime. This means, on average the Tuscany demo has been played for 697 sec (~11 and half mins) without nose, and 792 sec (~13 mins) with.
It would be interesting to know the dynamics of the experiment (the testers were aiming to hold on as long as possible? Or they were simply told "play as much as you want"?), since the Tuscany demo is quite short, and most of people wouldn't play it for more than 10 minutes, besides sickness

It'd be nice if there were at least some ballpark hints at what production pricing might be.

I've got a project which could probably make use of this in next year's version, but the current "1000 MAUs for free for now, nothing except here-be-dragons-enterprise-pricing-signifiers after that" sales copy make me close the tab.

I know finalising price points is hard for a B2B tech startup - but launching publicly before you've done so makes losing the interest of potential customers easy.

Yeah, the 4% was wrong, sorry. Anyway, things seem to just work in FF and Chrome, but Safari often requires fixing because of bugs, missing features or Apple doing things differently for no reason. It's annoying.

And like Microsoft, they are so damn slow to release updates and older machines don't even get any.
I had a lot of homework as well but at some point I pretty much decided "fuck that, I have better things to do" and learned programming instead. My math grades went down a bit but I actually learned something.
In terms of revenue or workforce, maybe, but I don't think SAP will ever have the worldwide impact of a Windows 1995 launch, or anything that happened after that.

It just seems artificially constructed as a framework for doing... something, like this guy is waving his arms about, trying to find some deliberate way of being like Thoreau or Emerson.

It just reminds me a bit of when Sarah Silverman talked about hecklers -- how once, a woman simply shouted out, "I exist!", because that's what hecklers are trying to do -- show people they exist.

This guy just seems like he's trying to let other people know he exists.

That is well known in the German blogging scene. For example, "Marions Kochbuch" is a website with cooking photos that some people say only exists to serve notices to unsuspecting bloggers that use their photos. Every few weeks a new case of someone who didn't know makes rounds in the German-speaking internet scence.

Personally I would use US government photos on my website (but not random other photos found on the web). But I know that I'd take a small risk with that. The US lawmakers specifically wanted to preserve rights abroad, who knows whether the government will actually start to enforce it:

> The prohibition on copyright protection for United States Government works is not intended to have any effect on protection of these works abroad. Works of the governments of most other countries are copyrighted. There are no valid policy reasons for denying such protection to United States Government works in foreign countries, or for precluding the Government from making licenses for the use of its works abroad.

1. Some time ago I did some benchmarking of different BLAS implementations on our HPC using different CPUs (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5260068/multithreaded-bla...).

>You seriously don't know the gender/race make-up of our elected officials?

Of course I know what it is. I also know it's irrelevant, since women make up the majority of voters. Politicians don't get elected if they don't pander to women.

You clearly don't understand how power is wielded in a democracy, which is probably how you arrived at views so at odds with reality.

Again, forget about the skin color and sex of people in office. It doesn't matter. Look at the laws, and look at the way they are executed by the courts.
No, I have never said that I think these problem is unique to trading (that would have been a funny thing to say, indeed).

"Every excuse that you have made for not testing I have heard before" -- does this fact render the excuses invalid? Yes, mocking is sometimes too hard and you should not do it because the effort never pays back it's cost. And these situations are very common.
Lucky you!

I play games where using a VR headset is a competitive advantage. Racing sims and flight simulation, combat and aviation. I get quite bad motion sickness from VR (DK1, DK2, both are bad), so I know that within a few years I have no chance of making it in any online multiplayer games.

Funnily enough, the first sensations of motion sickness in a flight simulator have a resemblance to what I feel when I go flying in a small aircraft. However, in real life, I get used to it, VR just keeps on getting worse and worse.

What makes it worse is that once you stop playing, the VR-induced motion sickness doesn't stop. It goes on for hours, bad balance and mild nausea. It gets worse if the lenses in the Rift are a bit off (they must be adjusted for every person), that leaves me incapable of reading or writing for the rest of the day.

So yes - it's really that big of a problem. If a 30 minute gaming session leaves a significant portion of the customers incapacitated for hours afterwards, there's no way you can call it a product and put it on the shelves.

BTW, I have high hopes for a competing product in development, the CastAR head mounted projector. It doesn't block your view of the real world so it might not cause as bad motion sickness. That also makes it viable for more serious flight simulation where the Oculus is useless because you can't see the flight controls (ie. your hands on the gaming controllers).

Isn't this redundant unless I accept images? I get:"Images are not displayed. Display images below - Always display images from webmaster@ibmverse.com" (for example).
Part of the narcissism comes in because because he want to broadcast not communicate. I don't disagree that email can be a distraction, but only answering your email once a week makes communication impossible. Twitter would be useless (more than I already believe it is) if everyone decided to use it as broadcast medium and never read anything. What's the point if there are no readers?

You can do broadcasting if your Linus Torvalds, if not you might need to check your email a little more frequently.
I generally use Thunderbird and while I have not checked what it does in all cases, it generally flags when there is remote content and provides options regarding loading it. I'm happy with that.

Curious : Why PHP can't handle long running processes ?
With a VR headset, the left image is shown to your left eye, and the right to your right. Intuitively, it should be clear that they aren't cross-eyed, since your nose is in the middle of your face.

And as someone else said - you're crossing your eyes, when you should perhaps be doing the opposite - looking far into the distance until the images overlap.
This is more of a proof-of-concept/excuse to learn core.logic :)
why not php -S 127.0.0.1:8000 someentrypoint.php ?
What if they played it longer because they were interested in looking at the nose, to see how light affects it as you turn around? I for one would definitely do that.
The thing is this style can work (well the first two anyway). Why spend two or three times as long coding tests for an in house application used by a few users and the requirements aren't actually known or well communicated?
Developer time is often more expensive then the end user time.
It might appear like that, but it is about distance!
Moving the two images over each other will make your brain think the nose that is farest away from the common center is closest.
BUT: the nose should ideally be mirrored, so that the shapes match, at least if you want to combine the images directly using cross-eyeing. They are correct if you show each picture to one eye though (what VR glasses are doing), every eye sees what it would see. However, little differences are filtered out anyway from your brain, merely a disturbance.

They did not perceive the nose at all :D

Funny what all gets filtered out. When I'm wearing my extremely old plastic glasses (real ones, not VR), I do not perceive the myriad of scratches on it either, though it certainly contributes to less resolution of what I see, but I'm not aware. Most people are shocked when they get new glasses/lenses/eyes about the increase in detail they weren't aware of.

It's pretty dishonest to discount the cost of drafting because you get some high-value cards while refusing to discount the cost of constructed... the entire cost of constructed is obtaining high-value cards. If you buy a $400 deck, do $200 of maintenance on it over one year, and then sell your cards at a 50% loss, you're still way ahead of a drafter who averaged $6 of money cards per week. And on top of all that, you had the option of playing more than once a week if you wanted to, and you never deliberately sabotaged yourself in the attempt to cut costs on your hobby ("explicitly money-drafting anything that [paid] for the draft").

I might also note that on Magic Online, it's definitely not true that the median draft leaves you with a few $1 rares, as the residual value that bad rares used to have has been cannibalized by mythic rares. A bad rare in MTGO can be purchased for $0.10; obviously you can sell it for less than that. Are paper rares that much more valuable?

The US governments specifically preservers the rights for their work abroad (see my other comments for citations). I know no case where they actually enforced that and therefore personally I'd take the risk of using US government work. However, I know that if they started suing I'd loose.

Let's say this is a modal dialog which is supposed to appear in the center of the screen, fixed (but the size is unknown and may scale with its contents). With any of the existing solutions, the HTML code for the dialog will always be <div><div>...</div></div>, i.e. unnecessary DIVs due to the limitations of CSS. Since it is supposed to float on top of everything else, it does not matter what its container is. May as well be the <body> tag but applying flexbox to that tag is likely not an option.

GitHub walk of fame
I supppose you're right, apparently encryption is a relatively new term, derived as a synonym to encode from crypt (derived from cryptic) whose meaning is defined (among other things) as: "to change (information) from one form to another especially to hide its meaning".

So in the colloquial use, encryption does apparently not imply that decryption is possible.

I don't buy the argument that "lots of people use the term wrong, so lets just continue to do that". (As it turns out, I might have been the person to understand the term wrongly, and the word choice might not have been "technically incorrect" after all. Always challenge your assumptions :-)

Close your right eye, your nose will appear on the right of your left eye. Close your left eye, your nose will appear on the left of your right eye. They have this correct. When you put the goggles on it will seem the same as you currently see, the nose fades because it is on the far side of your vision field of view and on opposite sides.

I always wondered after seeing this a bit ago if the addition of a torso might also help. Part of the disorientation might be that it seems like your body is not there. A nose with a torso and eventually LeapMotion like hand controls/arms, may help reduce VR sickness.
>does this fact render the excuses invalid

The "mocking is hard" excuse is invalid, yes.

Sometimes it can make sense to create a dirt simple adapter whose code you very rarely have to change, which you subject to heavy manual testing. Then you mock that and leave it alone.

You can use this when converting a weird protocol into an easier to handle & easier to mock protocol.

However, that just moves the point at which you have to mock back a little, and saves you from writing lots of harness code. It doesn't prevent you from doing continuous integration or continuous deployment. It also doesn't mean you shouldn't mock. It also only makes sense if mocking is harder than actually writing, manually testing and deploying this service.

>Yes, mocking is sometimes too hard and you should not do it because the effort never pays back it's cost.

Testing is hard. Let's go shopping.

Nice! I'll definitely be doing this course; the previous one about optimizing sites to load fast (critical rendering path) was extremely well done. [1]

I've been doing a lot of work optimizing an HTML5 webapp for an embedded platform lately, and it's been extremely challenging. So much information about the guts of browser rendering engines is either buried in mailing list posts or not there at all.

FWIW, I found Safari to have some very nice tooling for optimizing animations. In particular the Layer Panel (shows you the memory usage for all the composited layers) was something I miss in Chrome. I also find Safari's way of displaying how many repaints/texture uploads to be a bit nicer on the eyes than Chrome's epilepsy-inducing flashing :)

As a former game developer, I find all this stuff really interesting, and it's nice to have these kind of engineering challenges and learning to get your teeth stuck into.

When you are in the thick of it you are most certainly not taking comfort in the fact that the LSD (you mostly likely purchased on the street) is a widely used and well studied chemical ;-)

In the past I went into the woods with nothing; later I brought a wrist watch. Being able to know roughly how long until the peak helped to ground me more than anything else. Of course, if you can't even read your watch, then all bets are off, as was the case with Hofmann when he took, completely out of any context (as you point out) for his first trip, a dose @ equivalent to 4 tabs of blotter, and lab pure to boot, yikes o_O
