The problem with his argument is not that the economy can't grow using less resources, that I agree with, it's that he equates a fixed supply of resources on the one side with a steady or falling (but non-zero) rate of consumpt

Yes, but doesn't std::unique_ptr introduce compiler / toolchain constraints? I.e. if the class declaration was in a header file of a library, as a user of the library you'd be bound to the same toolchain as the library, no?

Hehe, "physical goods" :) So in the case of Mario64 that would be the PCB and the plastic cartridge and the shrink wrap?

Having worked at Google myself, quite honestly, I don't think there is a use case. Romain and Mathias are both very senior engineers. They get a lot of freedom to to work on whatever they desire.

Here's a simple test I use on startup ideas. I call it the reversion test. Let's suppose for a moment that air travel today worked the way you described it, with gliders, 60 mile range, electric winches etc.). Then someone comes a

Last time I used FF on my Macbook (about 2 or 3 years ago) it had a big issue with battery drain (IIRC it was because of high GPU load even when idle). Did they ever fix that?

Having seen it play out 1st hand more than once, I gotta say, if it turns out to be the most quoted quote on HN, it is well deserved. I have made many mistakes in my career that I could have easily avoided by just keeping it in mind. It mig

Hey man, thanks! HN, every once in a while, is a magical place :) > Man, I suck at ELI5s. Nah, I enjoyed reading this. I got it now.

Appreciate the enthusiasm! Mind doing some ELI5 for a (what feels like dinosaur-aged) hacker in his mid thirties who kinda missed the last decade of ML but is very curious? > That blog post I just linked to is running off of a TPU right

Fusing video with IMU for navigation is called VIN (visual-inertial navigation) or VIO (visual-inertial odometry) and the field has made enormous progress over the last 10-15 years. It's the same technology that the iPhone uses for all

Yea, but you gave the bank the money first. Which brings us back to the first question: How is holding cash a liability? Are they worried about deflation?

I agree with the general gist of this, however the crux is that most ideas that turn out to be revolutionary just don't originate within the accepted circle of domain experts, exactly because being a domain expert makes you more unli

It's been ages since I made electronic music on my PC. I always liked FL Studio and some friends of mine sweared by Reason but I haven't been keeping up with DAWs / sequencers. What are people using these days?

Congrats, very well done! I look forward to trying this. Just curious: What framework are you using for the frontend? One feature request right away: Please offer a light mode. Dark mode is very tiresome for me to look at for longer periods

The article doesn't mention the main drawback of ToF depth sensing: Multipath Errors. They originate from light bouncing around in the scene before coming back to the detector, causing the resulting depth maps to have dents and distort

Most comments here point out that this may be just a fish-eye camera model with some fancy sales language around it. This was my initial thought as well, however, it should be pointed out that changing from linear to fish-eye doesn't c

Best answer, much appreciated. > Give it five or ten years, and I reckon you'll see people make use of C++17 and C++20 in much greater numbers. Frankly, the thought of it makes me want to migrate to Rust. > Are you aware that std

I'm probably going to make a few enemies with this opinion, but I think modern C++ is just an utterly broken mess of a language. They should have just stopped extending it after C++11. When I look at C++14 and later I can't help b

In classical estimation tasks (state estimation, control, SLAM, etc..) techniques for dealing with outlier data are well established (RANSAC and it's siblings, M-Estimators, etc..) and known as "robust estimation". Depending

I can recommend the Intel RealSense L515. Also the old Kinect and Primesense/Xtion cameras are still pretty capable. And, shameless plug: If you need a software to turn the RGB-D streams into stitched point clouds, check out Dot3D by D

Lessons from high-performance / embedded development: If you know the size of your data beforehand, or can at least put a bound on it, it's best to pre-allocate your memory and then hand out bits as needed through a custom allocat
