What you described is how a camera sees the world, and how we see it in pictures. Part of what seems unconvincing to me about these concept ideas is that the demo UIs are superimposed over basically isometric, wide…
That makes sense. I wonder how these transparent displays handle the focus issues though. If you're not looking at your Monocle/Glasses, maybe 1in in front of your eye, but instead on something hundreds or thousands of…
Dumb question maybe, but why does it need to be transparent or else projected directly into your eye? What doesn't work (or wouldn't work for you) about a flip-down hard backed display?
"all programming philosophies are about programming" I don't think it is a reductive take. The second instance of the term here instead involves the more traditional concept program: "a regular plan of action in any…
It's been a while since I worked in this space but ~10 years ago I would have said TCP termination. It is a pretty big ask though. :) One issue in this area is that the underlying hard logic is limited, and differs from…
Probably, but FPGAs/reconfigurable logic can't be clocked at CPU speeds and usually have a limited number of floating point units and other "hard" resources. At the higher end, yes definitely, especially packet…
In the row picture, the elements of a matrix are the coefficients of linear functions acting on its domain. In the column picture they are coordinates in its image. Any matrix A or B can be interpreted from either point…

I've been listening to AM broadcasts a lot over the last few months. I can get good reception from 2-3 local stations on my crystal set. One gives me state and national news, interviews, the weather; useful stuff. From…
I disagree thoroughly. This was an extremely important moral for my dad, he imparted these lessons to us from birth (I know that might sound strange but I can't elaborate): we were to expect no more or less from our…
We found newspaper articles that ran at the time my grandparents eloped from Misourri. They have headlines like "Kansas City woman marries Chinese", "she confirms he does speak English", "is pregnant with his son", ...…

My dad grew up in Shanghai and often made a point of emphasizing how lucky we were to be children in America. We were spanked and occasionally slapped in the face, sometimes for small acts of disobedience or…
Octave is wonderful. It's one of those free software projects whose success and necessity inspire the entire movement. In one of my first jobs I saved a bunch of money for the company just by porting stuff out of…
I'm pretty sure you've been trolled.
No, mainly they identify the contributing factors and work to correct them. For a specific example check Air Canada 759, which nearly landed on a crowded taxiway at SFO in 2017. No one involved was fired afaik.…
The great filter is table stakes, getting over it doesn't guarantee anything. It's also impossible to accurately and confidently predict the future millions of years in advance.
Remarkable argument from Musk's team that no impartial jury can be made for him in San Francisco, because he has fired too many people there.

Your example deals with something completely different. This issue is more akin to the meatpacking workers' deaths, which were very high at some companies. It does generally does happen in extreme circumstances, or when…
Would you trade a dozen workmen's lives to get a development project done in under one year, rather than two? Are there actually many examples of tech businesses doing this right now? It doesn't seem to happen all the…
Alan Kay was a big influence for me and I still respect him a lot, but you know, something about Smalltalk didn't work... and it was exactly this whole live object/heavyweight runtime distribution stuff.
Hey don't blame the species!
Well the norm for their generation is terrible. Look up "instagram mental health".
