If you're the kind of person that never moves and faces one direction then yes, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to call this a form of reality. I'm lucky enough to not be in that situation, so this is more like portable 3D v

Yes, I was speaking to these routers in particular. Because if they don't have this, then this is bad security advice against what is considered a targeted attack.

That's the future, but not the way forward. Controllers give you primitive resistive haptics, making you feel you're actually holding and manipulating something . A glove that does that dynamically would be ideal, but we're

I think one problem is we've redefined "content", "news", and "sharing" to be shadows of their former selves. "Content" is no longer a reification of value, "news" is no longer keeping

This scares me in ways terrorism never has. I'm not sure terrorism has ever accomplished its goal to effect radical change. But a powerful entity ostensibly protecting us from a group perceived as a common evil that's not worth de

That's not a solution that absolves Facebook of social or moral responsibility if they are a link in the chain of immigration policy.

The second argument hits a snag when a Facebook account is counted as a border credential by the government.

As far as work, I make sure to always finish my day with a thing or two half-started. I find the itch to finish these is far more powerful as a progress driver than a completed checklist that gives me mental permission to relax. Granted, th

No. This would open an enormous can of worms, but I'll just pick one: security. And if you're the kind of person that needs this, the solution is a one-line alias.

This post makes it seem like Facebook subscribes to the theory that hiding unpleasant content prevents terrorism, and that there is universal global agreement on what counts as terrorism. Is there any scientific literature that supports thi

Yes, it's a requirement. If you're using a preprocessor you're not supporting async, you're factoring it out. Otherwise the argument collapses to: we don't need any of these features, we just need NAND.

The value of the trickle of gasoline to get me to my kitchen is less than zero. To use it I would have to waste considerable money architecting a way to get my car indoors. The value of AWS is greater than zero because spending my day monit

I'd argue the value of the computation is strictly less than zero, because I could do it cheaper without using Ethereum at all.

Prices continually rising is an argument for how this _is_ tulips. The valid counterargument would be that the tulips are largely being used for something other than trading tulips.

Objectively reasonable or not, subjectively a joke in comparison to SV. This kind of investment won't pay for one additional hire this year; if you go smaller it won't even pay for the time you spent dealfinding. And after all of

The reason engineer salaries in Canada are low, especially for startups, isn't that companies are cheap. It's that there is no funding or support network for growing companies -- nothing compared to the valley. In my experience se

Neural nets that update over time need a way to know what to keep and what to forget from last time. So let's learn what to keep and forget... by using more neural nets. Disclaimer: I just learned what an LSTM was. But it's a good

No, you're not. If people don't wisen up to it and hit Google in the numbers, we'll all keep paying the product killing uncertainty tax. If I needed one of these, this would definitely factor into my evaluation.

Sure, if you measure uptime of your business and dev team by whether you're serving pages. I wouldn't. If Github being down means you're not fixing your site today, I'd call it a runtime dependency.

by avaer 9y ago
Thing is, runtime dependencies on Github is something that Github is promoting and selling now ( https://github.com/marketplace/ ). Maybe this incident puts that value proposition in a more visceral context.

Actually I'd say the visual languages do a much better job representing what the computer circuit is doing. But that's exactly the problem. Handling that complexity is the reason we invented textual programming languages.
