First of all, congrats, this is very impressive. Second of all, I've been thinking a lot about how proprietary GPU computation and especially VR is these days. Any interest or plans for the future in specialized…
Interesting subthread. I've noticed that it tends to be easier when I haven't been drinking alcohol for a while -- I've had it occur a few teams a couple years ago, but it almost always ended with me flying and waking…
Those portfolios are not even remotely compatible. Hangouts is the only viable product there. Meanwhile, all of Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp and FB are each very strong products with extremely, almost worrisomely…
What would that be, out of curiosity? Not asking rhetorically. I would just assume the exact opposite -- they have every incentive to provide a monetized, just passable enough to be consumable experience. The content…
You should play up the Stockholm factor! Sweden is really cool!
This is a really lucid explanation of something that is often unnecessarily muddled. Well spoken. To continue going with your thought experiment, how would you feel like if certain kind of people were tortured based on…
Yeah, I don't know if this has anything to do with a science degree. Folks with science degrees can end up managing things in a suboptimal manner, and so can folks without science degrees.
Well...let's agree to disagree because I say the hallmark is whether the business model is sustainable, which I'm not sure your heuristic completely fields. Deal? To be fair, it did look like the business model had legs…
From what I recall, they acquire IP when its from companies in this situation. I'm not a betting person, but I would not be surprised if this situation was a good opportunity for RPX's PR.
Agreed. I get so sad when I see this happen in the JS ecosystem (being used to python), but it's pretty easy to not fall into that trap. Use bower on the browser side, and npm on the server side. At that point, the only…
Hmm, going to say a hard no on naively preferring UUIDs. It's a little bit of extra work to go with the instagram style approach [0] of using many logical postgres shards with a custom id function that implements…
I think you're going to catch undue flak for this, but yes. I am bullish that BI and blockchain can go a very long way towards this goal. Sometimes, I worry that the barriers standing in the way are societal, not…
A while back, I did some research into patent trolls, and came across the history of NPE firms that do DPA (defensive patent aggregation), like RPX [0]. What surprised me from a game theoretical perspective was how…
I'm recalling very fond memories of my first gaming system, my Gameboy Pocket[0]. I am also looking back at the history of the Mac OS because of similarly fond memories of my first computer, a Macintosh SE[1] with…
Agreed. I had a very similar experience with an AP Computer Science course in high school. Considering the material and range of students, I think my teacher did a fantastic job, though. I didn't feel like I picked up…
Here's where your analogy breaks down: what if the state of AlphaGo enhancers was as good as AlphaGo AIs? Could the current state of the art AI beat a human working with a state of the art augmented AI based assistant?…
You've written what potentially appears to be a promising library. Great! In fact, it seems so promising that people are trying to find the equivalent in the language of their choice. Even better! Why not encourage them…
I can understand that you might be a bit frustrated right now, because perhaps that level of performance in pure python may literally be difficult to impossible in this case. But, the question the person was asking was…
I have the same reaction as you. I am very impressed by this, as well as pybind11. My only worry is the fear that the automagic will break down somewhere, but I hope I am wrong and it will not hurt to try! If it works,…
I'm a little confused by what you're trying to say, so help me out here. You say "it's overly decoupled for simple applications" and then "it is only a tool you should reach for after you find you need it." This would…
