Are you guessing or do you know this for a fact? I know that in radars for example this is dealt with using matched filters (i.e. filters tuned to extract known, but delayed signal through correlation), but that requires continuous, modulat

Since there are so many experts on the thread, say these are deployed in every car on the road. How will one tell its own laser reflection from everybody else's, if there's a hundred lidars per city block scanning simultaneously?

No, there's no native Youtube WP app, and "decent" maps don't come anywhere close to detail available through Google maps. Amazon devices don't support the official Youtube app either, nor do they support Google Map

The idea about Android apps is stillborn. I don't know why they pursued it in the first place. There's no way Google will allow Play Store on such a contraption, nor will they allow Google services to be run (which means, for inst

Modern Intel CPUs have an instruction specifically to compute CRC. This instruction is easily consumed through a C++ intrinsic, literally in one line of code. You can't do any better than that, no matter what you use.

It's a watch first, computer second, not the other way around. And that's the right way to do it, IMO. FWIW, I'm enjoying mine. Its heart rate monitor is about as accurate as a chest strap. Its timekeeping is accurate (unlike

Because the actual analytics (the part that BigQuery provides) is maybe 20% of this solution, and judging by the slides their ETL is very easy to use. What would I even use on Google Cloud to do ETL? Dataflow? Javascript UDFs? Something els

I like Zuck. He seems to have picked the right role model to follow (Bill Gates). I just hope he cashes out before a credible competitor takes over.

Java by itself is workable. What I was referring to is adding yet another (and rather unnecessary) layer of complexity to an IDE which barely functioned as it is. That layer of complexity is the "web platform", which forces you to

Because writing an IDE in a real programming language wasn't hard enough. <facepalm/>

My primary machine is a MacBook Pro, and it has no problems scrolling Firefox or Chrome. Neither does my dual boot Win10/Linux workstation downstairs. I think choppy scrolling is mostly a trackpad issue in this case, TBH. The settings

I've tried both quite extensively. FWIW, iPad Pro _feels_ faster and more fluid. Still not the right device for me, but I had no complaints wrt performance. I did not buy iPad Pro though: not the right device for what I do. I did buy t

Was going to suggest Google BigQuery (faster, cheaper, more scalable) but then looked at the rest of your workflow, and it looks like ETL would get more complicated, and the visualization options wouldn't be as extensive (although BQ d

Backup is never current, and it takes time to restore. RAID has its place. So much so, in fact, that there are now erasure-coded distributed filesystems at Google and elsewhere, reliably storing exabytes of data on super shitty disks.

It's a "premium upsell" for the same reason why we still have 1366x768 screens on laptops: PC manufacturers don't give a shit and they'd rather save $1 per unit. As to Apple, I'm not sure why they don't su

Rebuild time is a problem, I agree. But not as huge of a problem as outright data loss.

I think ECC is inevitable. With 128GB DIMMs being produced now and NV-DIMMs (DDR4 flash-on-dimm) just around the corner, some kind of hardware error detection is necessary. This is similar to high capacity spinning drives. With smaller ones

This comment is rife with fundamental misunderstanding of the main purpose that HR serves in a company. That purpose is to protect the company from legal action by employees, former and present. This is the overriding principle on which HR
