If you read the detailed technology link posted elsewhere in the HN comments, you can see that this is a different manifestation of the same technology. They are calculating the camera position individually for each frame, then mapping a new (smoother) POV through the scene and re-rendering appropriately. The frames in the final video may include data from more than one source frame so that the POV can pan smoothly without cropping.

I think it is rather poor academic research to mention "utube.com" as soundsquatting on Youtube.com, since it is actually the reverse that is happening. When his traffic "problem" hit the news in 2006, I called and talked to the owner of Utube, the company, for a bit. I'm sure I wasn't alone in advising him to put ads on his pages to recoup some of his loses, but he was really pissed at the disruption to his business that Youtube's popularity was causing. After a few months, he started showing ads with a little button to get to his new site. Now I see he has a pure advertising page. I'm sure Youtube had lots of opportunities to buy his domain, but they didn't want to pay his price, so utube.com shows ads forever.

coding in schools - possibly a mindless activity - clicking and shoving a mouse around in an excel spreadsheet or throwing together a website - without any understanding of what actually happens - might be what will be implemented when schools have coding sessions taught by teachers who struggle with the topic themselves.

on the other hand:

computer science at its core is the science of making a system go from one state to another using explicit transformations on the state of the system.

how to arrange these operations is computer science, to finalize them, write down the algorithm using operations in a codified form is - coding.

These codes are put down in a language - a programming language when using computers, a knitting pattern when making socks.

To learn how to sequence these operations, to convey the solution to a problem unambiguously in a language using elementary operations, building up a complex system from that and finally reaching the solution as a group of collaborators, taking pride in this achievement together...

I believe that there is great utility in that wherever a student may venture.
The dad dividend
I was a very happy dspam user for about three days -- SpamAssassin's accuracy on my setup is terrible, and dspam performed pretty well (and increasingly so with training).

Then, dspam started segfaulting, and none of my e-mail was delivered. I looked into what was going on, and it appeared that the dspam hash database had somehow become corrupted; and since dspam is completely unmaintained these days, it was unlikely that whatever bug I tripped upon would ever be fixed.

Sigh. I also would like to hear user reports about rspamd! I am getting sick of the false negative rate that I'm getting from SpamAssassin.

Well we've got the server logs showing your AWS instance accessing that image on our server. As copyright is tort the usual burden of proof is balance of probabilities [UK, "preponderance of evidence" in USA I think; please correct if this is wrong in your jurisdiction], I'd say that's enough to swing it that you're going to need to prove you didn't use that image ... oh and we have a HN post replying to you suggesting you do this, which swings the balance a touch further.

We can probably have an expert witness testify the scene could use that image (ie they don't visually disagree so much that the scene couldn't have derived from inter alia that image).

MANAGEMENT consultants, investment banks and big law firms are the Holy Trinity of white-collar careers. They recruit up to a third of the graduates of the world’s best universities.

I believe the ratio is far higher in English speaking, white countries as they can freely join Wall Street and the supporting infrastructure.

The ratio is lower in non-English speaking countries like Asia.

Thus we have the strange shift of R&D and manufacturing (especially manufacturing) to Asia where brightest graduates end up in industries other than management consultancy, investment banking, and law firms.

Soon the new manufacturing centers will wonder why they have to hire Wall Street when that can be done elsewhere? Especially like in China.

I know I will get flak for this but the 3 career paths are not good for the nation, while it may be good for the few who are in the top 1%.

If I am to invest in the time and energy to switch over my current anti-solution to this, then I want to ahve some level of assurance that it will be more effective than my current scheme.

I agree that spam is a moving target and that is why anti-spam systems need constant updating. My current system (over the last 30 days) rejected 87% (around 45k emails) and accepted 13%. Of that 13% (6600) around 300 were classified as spam by the bayesian classifier in thunderbird. Around 80 were manually classified as spam and added to thunderbird's rules. The thunderbird classifier probably classified 2 ham messages as spam. I don't know of any ham->spam errors in the initial filtering phase.

Should rspamd be expected to do better, about the same, or worse?

> "motion sickness"

That's the correct term. It's also called "kinetosis" -- it's basically when your eyes and the rest of your body disagree about the way you're moving, and your brain freaks out. (Going back to the "design" question -- we don't know why the brain freaks out, or whether there's a benefit to it, so it's hard to evaluate whether it's actually a good system or not.)

Some people have reported significant improvement by playing with higher resolution, a wider field of view, different textures, or (with VR devices like the Oculus Rift) some sort of persistent viewpoint (like a fake nose).

I wonder what SpaceX's long term goals are. Much of the article suggests that it's Mars. But SpaceX probably wants to do something that's profitable, right? Missions to Mars won't be profitable for probably a very long time, if ever. I wonder about something like a mining operation on the Moon or other near-Earth objects?

Right now, it's hard to imagine anything more profitable than deploying satellites.

No. It gives a very rough guide to "how much trouble is this spam filter going to be?". If you can say that X000 users have found only Y% of their email was misclassified, and I can compare against other spam filters, that's really useful.

So yes, too many variables for one to be accurate, but good enough to gauge average-performance across a tribe of users.
To be fair, swiping is fairly common in iOS apps. Mail and Reeder come to mind. When I try out a new app I usually test to see if UI elements support gestures like these.

Showing some kind of button defeats the utility somewhat, and I think a help pane explaining available gestures would be a better solution. You could stick it in the preferences view.

WebSockets will definitely provide the lowest latency for client->server transmission, but calling SSE "technical debt" for a chat service is a bit harsh. Many chat services get by just fine with HTTP POST for message submission. It's a case of trading low latency for simpler tooling.

the article brings up a good point with 'systems language'. What is a systems language anyways? I guess C is, but whats the definition? Is common lisp a 'systems language'?

How about separate the processing code from error handling code into a block of it's own. Like this:

fn file_double<P: AsRef<Path>>(file_path: P) -> Result<i32, String> {
let mut file = File::open(file_path);
let mut contents = String::new();
let read_Result = file.read_to_string(&mut contents);
let n = contents.trim.parse::<i32>();
let result = 2 * n;

error_handling {
file: None => Err("Failed open file"),
read_Result: Err(err) => Err(err),
n: Err(err) => Err(err),
_success: Ok(result)
};
}

The compiler would then convert each error handling case into early return statements in the places where assignment is made to the specified variable.

One humble idea: Include the proposed press release in the peer review process. Maybe require two abstracts, one for the academic journal, and the other for the lay press. And there is no loss of honor from saying that a study is of purely intellectual interest.
Well, to sell something you need something people want. Finding a market and coming up with a product in the abstract is part of what's traditionally the marketing department's job, even if it's not what the travelling salesman does.
You're thinking of computer things like P vs NP. Any mathematician who develops some sort of algorithm for factoring large numbers would announce this algorithm and a proof of its correctness as the interesting thing to announce, not merely that some large number was factored, without disclosing how.

Or perhaps they would keep it secret, but it would be a huge cultural faux pas to have a method to factor large numbers without also explaining (and thus proving) how it works.

On “overcoming insecurities that you may be learning [to code] wrong”
This was a great essay. Type systems are one of the holy wars of programming, and I don't think there will ever be a truce. I think it is is great to see some writing that explains why that occurs, and how to think about the situation. It is also interesting to see some things that I haven't thought about: Type systems can encode effects that could free the programmer from thinking about locks? Dependent Type Systems can perform program synthesis? Where can I find out more?

I know anonymous predictions from nobodies on the internet are completely uninteresting, but I can totally envision this as one of the essays that gets linked hundreds of times over the next decade or two on the front page of HN with a (2015) in the title.

> And requiring insurance also gives neighbors a recourse (payouts from the policy) if the block is set on for or something

No, legal liability rules give the neighbors recourse. What insurance and/accountability bond requirements do is reduce the risk that insolvency will prevent a liability judgment from being satisfied (though one which exceeds the required coverage may still not be fully satisfied if the liable party is insolvent.)
There's a common misconception about the number of TCP connections a server can handle being limited by the number of local ports (~64K). The real limit is in the number of LocalIP+LocalPort+RemoteIP+RemotePort pairs. If your traffic is coming from arbitrary Internet addresses, then you are not limited by ports.

Of course you'll be limited by other factors such as kernel fd limits (which are adjustable) and the CPU needed to monitor lots of sockets.
Yeah, and as always, it comes down to energy -- there's an established way to turn CO2 and H20 into Methane and Oxygen, given enough energy for input. And SpaceX has put some research into methane-fueled rockets already. So some people are theorizing that the play is to plunk an unmanned nuclear reactor and electrolysis equipment on the surface of mars, let it crank out a trickle of fuel for a couple years, and we've got the infrastructure to send a there-and-back mission to mars with on-site refueling. No big deal, right?

The sample is 3626 men and women, generally healthy at the start of the study. Could there really have been "enough" deaths after 3 or 5 years to even make a guess at the reduction in death rate due to exercise, moving around or any thing else. I doubt it. I am not saying the study is faulty, just pointing out a possible problem.
I think the reason we're here is simply because we've never known any alternative. It's been in my blood for longer than I can remember.

Have to say I agree with Bjarne and Niko on most points discussed.

interesting approach to try and outrank the restaurants' own sites, if they have them, and charging a delivery fee. clever but HUGE copyright infringement and I can see why restaurants are upset.

The blog author mentions at one point that Algebraic Data Types cannot determine pattern exaustiveness for things like

match 100 {
y if y > 0 => “positive”,
y if y == 0 => “zero”,
y if y < 0 => “negative”,
};

and wonders if there is some kind of "algebraic data values" to notice that the previous case is exaustive.

In Haskell they solve this particular problem with an "Ordering" ADT:

data Ordering = LT | EQ | GT

case (compare 0 100) of
LT -> "Positive"
EQ -> "Equal"
GT -> "Negative"

Using a richer datatype instead of boolean predicates solves most problems. For some more advanced things you need extensions to the type systems. For example, to be able to say "this function, when applied to non-empty lists returns non-empty lists", you need Generalized Algebraic Data Types (gadts).
Nice! In this case it's less a question of implementation language (though Haskell would likely be the best fit) and more what it exposes to the user.
Being able to draw enhances that. Having your fingers in the way does not. That's a use case for a stylus or a pen, as they don't block your vision nearly as much as a hand does.
