Ah ELM. I always try to urge everyone interested in low-level embedded systems engineering to browse elm-chan.org, it's such a treasure trove. He describes himself as "Mediocre embedded system engineer" but he is way too humb

I am so torn, is this satire or not. It's like an amalgamation between really useful advice and the worst you can do in an interview. What is this, I have to know!

Awesome project and pretty good results from a mathematical standpoint. The biggest challenge is to try and convince the tube amp enthusiasts that it sounds indistinguishable to the real hardware ;)

Not sure about validation, but Content-Security-Policy is the best tool we have at our disposal right now to prevent XSS - define what content the browser is allowed to load and execute. I have a feeling it will remain a very manual and dil

They could, but google could pretend to be you and answer basic questions until you pick up. Or just pretend to be your secretary. We're at a point where it becomes impossible to tell if you are talking to a human or not, at least for

Customer support does not rank high in some companies and industries and they understaff their support call centers. Staying on hold for a long time serves them as a filter to narrow down the 'really severe problems'.

I hope this google assistant will start talking to them while it waits for you to notice the notification, essentially putting them on hold until you answer. Didn't look into it so no idea how it behaves, but sounds like a realistic so

Sure it's not like I haven't used libraries in the 20 years I've been coding. If it solves the complex problem I am facing, I will use it. But have you looked at the code in question? It is not complex. It is code you write i

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I guess I have more of a problem with this hitting the front page of HN than with you publishing it. If you use it a lot and abstract it into a library, that's fine, we all do that. But it looks like p

Can someone explain to me why I would need a library to draw bounding boxes with a label? I don't understand why this is a hard problem that warrants a library. There isn't even any 'fiddly math' in there. I seriously do

IMHO Unicorns are built with the assumption that almost every developer is replaceable. At that scale the critical knowledge is not with the developers.

So how secure is FaceID actually? It does a 3d scan like the Microsoft Kinect and maybe gathers some more light information in the infrared sprectrum, but that can easily be circumvented with advanced 3D printing. They even demonstrate that
