Nope, a single Lighthouse transmitter can give full position -- at some accuracy. If you use multiple photodiodes (receivers) with a known rigid-body transformation between them, you can infer the receiver unit's full 6-DoF pose.

For example, you could (naively) estimate distance using two photodiodes if you knew that they were separated by 5cm. If the difference in measured angles is small, they're far away. If it's large, then they're near. (The full 6-DoF situation is a little more complex, but the same idea.)

This does seem counterproductive to sales and conversion... I can understand wanting to offer different prices to Prime customers, but wouldn't you want to up-sell them with a discount?

Quite true, I know how they're generated. More like, I wish you could include something like an optional README file or something. Particularly for packages that require further setup. I know people often use the `install` function to do it, but it seems like I often run into packages that leave me wondering either what they do or what else I have to do to make them work.

This of course isn't necessarily a flaw in the AUR and is really more of an issue with the packagers doing a bad job.
Tone policing disenfranchises minority views, period. Doesn't matter whether the context is social justice or database performance; Unless the tone is beyond well-known bounds (e.g. is abusive, flippant, way off-topic, etc.) I don't think it is generally constructive.

Edit: I think we're talking past each other on where "tone policing" becomes regular old moderation.

PTSD is a real medical disorder, as set forth by the DSM-5. Triggers are a well known phenomenon regarding PTSD. Usually, treatment revolves around either psychological sessions or drugs.

The feminists and some liberals who use "trigger warning" do not have PTSD, or are not working with professionals to assist with psychological disorders that have triggers (like PTSD).

Instead, they have latched on this language from a legitimate disorder and are coopting it for making their world tame and easy. This is what I am calling weak: people who want the world around them to bring the hardness to that of a kindergartner.

Life is not all happiness and candy. Life also has hardships, disagreements and harsh criticism, and death. And these "kids" are demanding to be treated like children.

"Your argument is triggering me, so shut the fuck up with your criticism."

"Clapping is triggering me, so everyone do jazz hands."

That's a fair point, but I think the name itself ("await") tends to communicate the the operation might take a long time. Compare that to multithreaded languages like Java, where it's not obvious that FileInputStream/HttpClient/etc. could take a long time!

Anyway, the big benefit of async/await, to me, is that you really DON'T have to understand promises. :) For instance, at some point we will probably add ES7 examples to the PouchDB API docs (e.g. here: http://pouchdb.com/api.html#create_document), and you can imagine that, from the user's perspective, the word "await" will just be part of the API (e.g. `var doc = await db.get('id')`), and beyond that, they won't have to learn anything about promises or async or callbacks or any of that.

Two generations ago - a person could create a small business or small terrorist act alone.

10 years ago it was possible to have a thousand person billion dollar company and 9/11 ...

Now we have a billion dollar company with single digit numbers of employees and we will have the first billion dollar one man company in the next 5-10 years.

I leave the rest to your imagination. But you should not be worried from terrorist organisations - disgruntled lone wolves will be the real danger.
Pretty much.

Or at the very least: never rely on one vendor's proprietary implementation(s). Always have at least two in active use (though you can do something like using one vendor 95% of the time), and if/when one goes down make it your top priority to find another.

Vijayanagara is better known as Hampi, and it is amazing, the picture doesn't do it justice. The whole city was carved out of enormous boulders, which make up most of the surrounding landscape. It is incredible to behold the scale of it. Highlights include a camera obscura, elephant stables, a water-cooled palace, a tuned 'musical temple' and miles upon miles of grand, ruined streets.

ICYMI: My First Blog Post on Linux EBPF: One Small Step
Contrast average with "Exceptional. Special. Distinguished. Excellent. etc."

The nature of these words show a clear bias that being non-average IS inherently good, at least when you are talking about quality. Music is clearly a qualitative arena, and therefore, average means, "not exceptional," "not special," "not distinguished" and "not excellent"

Ergo, my point is, the parent to this discussion is correct, "average" music can never be exceptional as the difference between average and exceptional is what defines those very words.

I am simply trying to use the word mediocre to make more obvious what average means when it comes to quality.

To be fair, there is a non-average that is below normal as well, with related words: Poor, sub-standard, deficient, defective, inferior, etc. So, being worse than average is even worse than being average. Again, in terms of quality.

Of course, average in another arena, such as average height, for example, is neither bad nor good. But height is not a measure of quality.
I didn't mean it to be a bait and switch, where they couldn't buy the product without Prime. I meant that seems like the step they should try to upsell.

The customer is already thinking "How fast can I get it?", so that's the time to say "You can get it tomorrow if you had a Prime account". Or, you wait 5 days.
I've got my hands pretty full with Pouch, but I'll take a look! :) Thanks.
Ignore co-worker spaces. If you feel lonely, go work from a public library or a coffee-shop. It's free (minus the coffee), and you can pick most convenient one.

Get a room-mate. Sharing an apartment with other people will give you at least a bare minimum of socializing and something to exchange a quick chat once or twice a day. Plus it saves money.

Keep social routine - meet with other people for diner, sports, chat, movie. Keep track when was the last time you meet with other people. Keep in mind the people enjoy being asked-out. Be casual, don't be pushy and let them decline without guilt, and they will be happy that there is someone that shows interest in hanging out with them, even if they are declining most of the time. Most people gets lonely, yet lacks courage and motivation to actively seek companionship. Going for a short walk or doing groceries together can be nice too. And you can be open about the fact that you're seeking companionship more activey, as you're working remotely.

Socialize on other events: conferences, user groups, etc. This is also professionally important. If you work in the office, you will get to know people that might like you and get you a job in the future. If you're working remotely you're risking being left out.

Radio in the background with some interesting talks can feel like hanging around people.

Gym is always good. Especially if you're working remotely. It gives you some schedule, motivation and happy feeling.

This is why I think macro systems ought to be a must-have feature in modern programming languages. There's no way that language designers can anticipate every type of convenient syntax, nor would they accept everything that we might want. Then, if they decide to add the new syntax we've been clamoring for, we have to wait for the implementation that includes it to become widely available, especially so in the case of JavaScript. We lowly programmers should be able to put on our language designer hat and extend the syntax of our languages as needed.
Thanks for the movie recommendation. I will check it out. Fed Up was also good.

I think there are a lot of conflicting ideas at play here. As a coder, yes I can write good code. But however, everyone I know in the valley tells me "just shut up and launch, it doesn't have to be good. You should have launched yesterday, that's what they would have told you at YC". This advice have a lot of truth to it, because you need to get feedback, validate your project, and perhaps have the first-to-market advantage in the highly competitive world of technology today, with investors and customers hounding you on both sides. However, this hasty, rushed culture necessarily will result in a lot of poorly-written code being deployed (followed by a lot of rewrites), even by decent coders, because they simply aren't given the time and runway.

I think your conceptualization is a bit off.

Time of flight as you describe could work at the transmitter, but could not work at the Lighthouse receiving photodiode. To measure time of flight, you need to know (very precisely) when the light was initially transmitted. The synchronization flash is insufficient for this, as an error of just 1ns results in a 1ft error -- modulation or not. Even with modulation, the receiving photodiode doesn't have another signal with which to compare for ToF measurements.

Normal laser rangefinders are transmitting the light (modulated), and looking for the reflected return (modulated) at the same location as the transmitter. They use a PLL to determine the phase difference between the TX and RX (modulated) signals -- since the transmitter has both versions readily at hand. The phase difference corresponds to a time difference => distance. Note that the "reflector" (where the photodiode sits in Lighthouse) is not part of the equation.

In other words, laser rangefinder ToF measurements require coherent demodulation at the location of transmission.
"Dad, can I have my allowance?"

"Sure, let me just find my phone....ok, firing up my MobilPay app...selecting your name from my contacts....entering amount of $10....entering my PIN for confirmation.....whoops. Getting an error.

Mountain of privacy horrors aside, a cashless society still looks like hell if you need to engage in a transaction with anybody or anything that doesn't have a card reader.

And the solution is neither "don't have those transactions" nor "add more card readers".

The track record of the illegal drug industry in organic chemistry is not impressive. They can't make consistently good LSD or MDMA. Both of those are difficult to do right and require frequent analysis with expensive equipment to control the process. They can't even make methamphetamine without screwing up. There's a direct synthesis for cocaine. It's documented.[1] The drug cartels are still doing it the old fashioned way, growing coca. With most pharmaceuticals, the quality control costs more than the production.

So this is probably not a major problem.

What do you mean by this? The light itself is not at MHz frequency, just the modulation of its intensity. It is infrared, which is ~700nm => 100s of THz.

Is that even the right's marketing message in the US? I feel like the "headline" messages from the right, at least here where I'm spending some time in Houston, are demanding more law-and-order and a more authoritarian government, not a smaller, more hands-off government and more civil liberties. The two big pet issues of the right here are: 1) cracking down on illegal immigration by any means necessary, and 2) cracking down on terrorism by any means necessary. Billboards are full of advertisements from prospective politicians, elected judges (a nutty situation itself), and elected sheriffs, promising how they're going to wield the arm of government more often, and more ruthlessly, than their predecessors did. Double the number of cops, build a border fence, put drones on the border, institute surveillance of mosques, allow no-warrant stops of vehicles, require citizens to carry an ID card at all times, etc., etc.

And when issues get to the Texas Supreme Court, politically it seems to almost always be various liberal groups sending in amicus briefs on the pro-civil-liberties side, and conservative groups sending in briefs on the pro-government side. The one exception is gun rights, where basically both sides are in favor (in Texas), but the right is more strongly in favor.

It is based on what other programming books on Kickstarter ask for and from my past experience. Advances from traditional publishers are not that much more than $3000.

The majority of successful programming books on Kickstarter raise anywhere from a few thousand up to around $10k. The lucky few raise $20K to $100K or more.

Since I enjoy writing programming books, I don't need it to replace my income just supplement it.

Lots of places already fail to generate invoices with no internet/electricity, so there really no new issue here.

Besides, I expect countries like Denmark don't have power/internet outages as often us we do in underdeveloped countries.

Also, you can notify your bank if you're travelling abroad so they don't reject anything. It's actually mandatory for some banks.
Yep, Chrome is pretty great about printing unhandled promise rejections to the console. However, I just tested Firefox and Safari, and neither of them will warn you in that case - not to mention older browsers like Android <4.4 and IE <=11, which don't even have native promises!

So if you're ever trying to debug promises in a non-Chrome browser, you may find my "insane" advice pretty helpful. :)
