I think it's a very similar effect, except the 'reflection' surface is also the projection surface, across 10 panes. They've also obviously used some interesting optics for projection surfaces. Might be light guides.

It's a very similar effect except the image in projected onto the glass 'reflectors' directly.

I think it only has 10 plates. I like the 'More 3D than that Tupac hologram' claim - it's true, but it uses basically the same effect, just with 10 layers.

I saw a comment today on HN showing voxiebox[1] which seems to have a better volumetric display, unlike this one which has a very small number of discrete layers. [1] http://www.voxiebox.com/

I agree in principal - I was being slightly facetious (as I hope you were with the 6 month figure). But that said, you always need to gear your interview to the hiring goals. Hiring someone with no experience is a completely different effor

Imagine a world where the interviewers sat a candidate down in the company's typical environment, with a simplified version of their codebase, and asked them to re-implement a small piece of striped-out functionality. Give them a coupl

That is really interesting. This type of enlargement is amazing for purely aesthetic consumption. The most impressive aspect is the ability to maintain accurate sharpness across the details, even when those fine details themselves cannot be

I think the risk is a lot higher than described by this post or dropbox. There are nearly 70 million credentials, and email addresses actually contain a fair amount of heuristic information for an attacker. For example just filter down to a

How many people were using password managers in 2012? The impact is huge because leaks are silently retroactive. Unless you have captured and changed every single possible account you ever created with the leaked 2012 credentials (before or

The severity stems from the unfortunate fact that a password leak retroactively, and silently, destroys your security across all sites that use the same or a similar password. Even if you started using the longest, randomised, two-factor-au

Dropbox should absolutely be held to the flame for trying to downplay the severity of this. Their communication says 'This is purely a preventative measure', but if you had/have reused this password on any other sites (let&#x

Agreed - however, I wrote 'model' considering the binary separation that was suggested.

I work in an MVVM mode daily. The best MVVM frameworks help bootstrap the app shell, but require zero interfacing with the view afterwards, with the 'controller' just being a parent ViewModel. It's turtles all the way down.

by achr2 10y ago
The part you're missing is that there is a huge grey area between 'model' and 'view'. So large in fact that all of these patterns where designed solely to help you draw lines in the sand between the pieces.

I think this is the exact reason most people tend to struggle with any type of learning. Even topics like math and science which require building block approaches can benefit from taking a high level view and refining where appropriate.

How 'deep' are the networks used in something like DeepMask, and how does it compare with the number of layers of the human brain?

I use WPF every day and it is a powerful framework. That said there are definitely aspects that are very poorly designed. It desperately needs a fork to catch up with the modern framework (no support for generic types, async Task-based comm

I definitely agree. Not using '.ConfigrueAwait(false)' is the exception rather than the rule. That said, I use an extension method '.NoSync()' to replace it which at least is more succinct and explicit. There are a few o

Part of your response is accurate as to 'why' dedicated separators never became mainstream - software compatibility - but frankly 99% of csv files were/are never meant to be hand edited, simply used as a neutral file. For the

I think that sentiment is mostly revisionist nostalgia. Yes it was easier to 'know' what was going on between your code and the OS, but to say that modern UI frameworks are more fragile than the hand-coded win32 code of yore is ce

Microsoft is nowhere near dead, not in the short to medium term anyway - and if you're a startup, that is all that matters. MS can put a 100 million dollars into a product sphere and not bat an eye if it fails within a few years (see N

I think you'd like C#'s linq syntax and null coalesce operator. While obviously they don't get away from null, they go a long way to making this type of syntax and null safety much easier to implement.
