I wonder if this is something to do with temporal integration periods in the HDR or AGC processing in the camera, in which case it might be an algorithm developed by an camera imager supplier (for example someone like OmniVision) rather tha

Snobbery is widespread among humans . It's an intrinsic part of our pack-animal heritage to divide the world into an in-group and an out-group and then to fabricate arbitrary moral rules to justify that division.

Everyone is different. I've spent three or four years working remotely, and I'd say I do better in an office. I like the routine that it gives me, and I like the human face-to-face contact. I especially like the energetic creative

Modulo the HUGE computational cost of simulating these things, not to mention the non-trivial task of determining network parameters. Surrogate models are a thing though, and it's going to be an interesting time as we gradually figure

Given the state of the world, and a desire to be as helpful as possible, the latter feels quite appealing to me right now.

Have you tried Panda3D, because I've been experimenting with it recently, and it seems to work pretty nicely ...

Every C++ shop that I've worked in has done the same thing.

Both dynamic languages and static languages have their place. Personally, I'm a big fan of an iterative refinement process where an algorithm prototype in a dynamic language is gradually transformed into a production implementation in

At that point, the state is as criminally brutish as those it seeks to morally disparage and demean, and has lost any right to even be listened to.

A nuanced and sophisticated approach should be able to identify and address the more problematic aspects of this activity whilst also acknowledging that people engage in it for many valid reasons. So, for example, it would be heart-warming

Either way, you've got to do the tooling work to make your chosen approach work. There's no free lunch here.

I'd love to have a chat at some point. I'm trying to (slowly) bootstrap some tools for the embedded space, and we're trying to get a grasp on (a) what our MVP should look like, and (b) how to go about approaching customer #1.

It's always a good sign when a debate moves beyond 'x' is better than 'y' to a more nuanced discussions of the circumstances and conditions when 'x' provides more value, and the circumstances and condition

I've used Simulink a lot in the past, and the things that it gives you (as well as it's limitations) are a big driver for my attempts to build tools in this space (I think I'm trying to do a similar thing to you -- causal rea

I believe that diagrams are at their most useful when they are deployed as a communications tool. When discussing our software, we commonly draw a diagram to help illustrate how functionality is divided up among components, and to show whic

Yeah. I liked that last bit as well.

I burned myself out a couple of years ago. A combination of 4-5 years of extreme workplace toxicity and 17+ years of relationship toxicity proved too much for my mind and body to handle effectively. As a result, I'm super familiar with

I don't think having an unregretted attrition rate 'target' is necessarily a bad thing, but *if* you are going to go down this sort of route, then the "hiring manager" and the "firing manager" should be wo

Ooooh! Thank you!

Is there anything similar for Python?

by w_t_payne 5y ago
There are multiple ways we can frame the solution to this. Other developers (all of whom are much more capable than I am) have attempted to address this problem by designing new languages, or by designing new development environments. (Eve,

I wrote a Python library for model based systems engineering, because existing tools (e.g. Simulink) don't coexist nicely with mainstream version control systems, and don't generally have such a nice interface for system level met

I've been working on something somewhat related. Would be happy to have a chat if you like.

DOTS is not ECS. "Unity Classic" is ECS. DOTS is a more cache-efficient architecture designed to support larger numbers of entities.

It seems to me that this precedent potentially kills off a big chunk of the ad-supported app economy. How are investors reacting to this?

The truth is that human beings need a huge amount of investment - time, money and love - to get us to the point where we can function effectively - and once we fall off the train, it can be nearly impossible to climb back on again. Human mi

Another alternative is building both up and down. Taller buildings for more residential space, and buried infrastructure for more room at the surface. Planning regulations need to acknowledge this reality though.

This is the fundamental design flaw of the system. Fixing it isn't going to be easy, though. Look at the amount of effort that the scientific community tries to put into improving the quality of communication:- peer review, standards f
