You state that a Feistel network has the property that each input value is mapped to a different output value, but how do you ensure that there isn't some cycle whose length is shorter than that of the size of the set of possible inputs? That is to say, what guarantees that every pixel is reached at least once?

Okay, I have shared at least one of those problems (the backup camera taking over, although I think I can just close out of it on my VW). I also get a weird intermittent problem where my phone will freak out and my car will stop recognizing it for a day. Not really sure what component is at fault there (phone, AA, or car).

I also have the Wi-Fi problem. I'm not sure why AA doesn't automatically just turn it off when it starts. I've been meaning to create a Tasker profile to do that for me.

What exactly do you mean by "the whole dance"? I've found Android Auto to be pretty simple to use. There's just one short USB cord I plug in right next to my shifter and I'm done. Everything comes up automatically. This is on a VW Golf, so maybe it's simpler than it is for you in the Focus?

Most of the problems I've had have been software bugs. Like this morning when I attempted to send a Hangouts message. The assistant voice made it sound like it worked, but nothing every actually sent.

Anyway, I'm not sure a screenless device is really what you want. Most of the appeal of AA is that it uses your regular phone, so it can use your data, read and send message, make calls, etc.

Satellite is nice, but it's not a solution for every use case. Specifically, it's not great for anything that requires low latency (like gaming).

That's the kind of thing that should be detected by a linter and stop code submission though, not necessarily stop it from even compiling. What if you just want to comment something out quickly? I don't program in Go, but it seems like it would be annoying to have to repeatedly add and remove the main dependencies while I was iterating on something.

Like everyone else here, I don't think this is a very good example. Even if it were, other languages can do a better job of accomplishing the same goal. For example in Python:

    def circumference(r: float, *args, pi=3.14) -> float:
        return 2 * pi * r

I sometimes get the feeling that this is the only game HN plays. When people talk about not being able to switch away from Windows due to games, it seems like someone always responds, "Well Kerbal Space Program runs on Linux and that's all I care about." I don't think I've ever seen articles similar to this one about other games gain as much traction. Can't think of very many articles about games getting to the top of HN at all, actually, unless they're about John Carmack writing one.

"Blew" is the preterit form of blow, so in this case wouldn't it be based off of the past participle "blown" and be whistleblown?

They're creating new pieces all the time, plus the molds have a limited lifespan in order to maintain those high tolerances.

There's an option to do this in many third party Android ROMs, which I personally take advantage of. I don't think it's really "terrible ux"; it hasn't been that hard to adjust to.

That did it for me, thanks. Seriously, who overrides default scrolling behavior?

I think this paragraph is pretty telling:

> “One way to aid Congress in understanding more of the climate issue than what is produced by biased ‘official’ panels of the climate establishment is to organize and fund credible ‘red teams’ that look at issues such as natural variability, the failure of climate models and the huge benefits to society from affordable energy, carbon-based and otherwise,” said witness John Christy, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, in his prepared testimony. “I would expect such a team would offer to Congress some very different conclusions regarding the human impacts on climate.”

It is pretty clear for this scientist's choice of words ("biased 'official' panels", "I would expect such a team would offer to Congress some very different conclusions") that he has no intentions of approaching this in an unbiased manner. I get the impression that he has an agenda, and he will force the facts to agree with him.

A cult following for the God-given operating system. Huh. Sounds a bit sacrilegious.

It's still more secure than not using a password manager. And I've found that whenever I'm in a situation where I can't use lastpass for whatever reason, I just fall back to using a password I've used many times before. Anything else I would just immediately forget.

I would love to switch to a different password manager, but nothing else I've tried has quite managed to nail the usability aspect. Specifically, Lastpass's app fill functionality on Android is a huge benefit that I haven't seen in others. It also has a browser extension that works without a separate program running on your computer; I didn't even realize that was a plus until I started trying to use other apps that did that.

I guess for now I'll just turn off all of the automatic features like this I can find.

Hmm, the impression I got from the training video I watched was that it would be unlikely for Google to approve your outside project most of the time. But maybe it was just the way the specific presenter worded it.

Wow, that's really nice. At Google, they basically told us, "There's the standard IP rule where you own anything that you work on in your own time that doesn't compete with our business... Of course we pretty much do everything, so good luck finding something that we can't claim."

For whatever reason, I was expecting something about gliders from Conway's Game of Life. But this was much more interesting! Thanks for sharing.

I think you commented on the wrong thread.

Geez, color me double-wrong. Yes, that should be plenty. I thought was a VPN-esque solution that required shuffling all traffic through the VPS instance, but yes you're right, it's basically just a custom DNS server. In which case this would be totally fine. I might even try it myself if I ever decide to unroot my phone.

Dang, you're right, I forgot about that. So not so suitable, unfortunately.

Seems like root + a local hosts adblocker is still the best solution for Android, or a local VPN for iOS (do they have those on Android? never checked).

Just a heads-up, you can get 1 CPU and 0.6 gigs of RAM for free with the new entry tier of GCP: https://cloud.google.com/free/

As a lot of other people online are pointing out, this is pretty much the exact same thing people said when Bulldozer came out, but it never materialized. AMD has always won in terms of core count, and people have been saying for years that games capable of taking advantage of 8+ threads/cores are right around the corner, but it never really happened. We shouldn't be basing purchase decisions today on what might theoretically happen at some point in the future.

You're correct that we can only make out fine details in a narrow field of view, but that doesn't mean there isn't value to having more in our peripheral vision. Having extra horizontal width specifically is nice, because of how there is naturally more interesting stuff going on in that range; above and below you is just skybox and ground (for many first/third person 3d games), which you don't really need to see more of.

Quite far away. Even the Titan X Pascal is having some trouble maintaining a consistent 60 fps in all games.

http://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/2659-nvidia-gtx-titan-x...

See the Mirror's Edge and The Division benchmarks. Averages are (just) over 60, but there are dips below.

Personally, I think the best resolution for current-gen cards is 3440x1440. Should be rock solid 60+ fps in all games, and gives the benefit of being ultrawide.

It's worth noting that this is just a specific case of a commutator:

http://w.astro.berkeley.edu/~converse/rubiks.php?id1=basics&...

A commutator is any sequence of moves in the form of A B A' B', where A and B are sets of moves, and A' and B' are those sets of moves undone. So this example basically just restricts B to consist only of top-layer moves.

A lot of people dislike Zed Shaw's books (the author of Learn ___ the Hard Way) for various reasons, and he has posted some things online that serious call into question his credibility (namely, claiming that Python 3 is not Turing complete).

Dive into Python 3 is a good book. I used it to supplement my CS classes in early college. There are some other good book suggestions on the sidebar of https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/ . In particular, I've heard good things about "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python".
