Unless most of the scene is static and the camera doesn't move. Then you can do partial update and the cost is proportional to the part of the scene that moves.

Those are pistachios, not olives.

The data is scraped from restaurant menu aggregators. There are some online and they don't seem to even try to stop you from scraping.

If I had to guess I'd say that scraping restaurant websites would be a much bigger project than what I did, given that there isn't structure in how menus are presented, and most of them still have pdfs, or even worse, an image for their menu.

Recently I wrote a small search engine for NYC menus: https://c.bitlet.org/ff.html

The data is small enough that you can keep it all in memory. It was a nice toy and it let me play with a few data retrieval techniques I had heard talking about but never actually implemented.

Thank you https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=codewiz for pushing for this before leaving Google. :)

Happy to share! It's vanilla nodejs, no additional framework used (nothing like express.js or anything like that). The search stuff is just a bunch of custom in memory data structures, there is reverse index, plus a mapping of common misspellings, plus some prefix to likely words, plus some n-grams.

For the frontend is just plain js and html.

If you have a more specific question feel free to ask and I'm happy to answer.

Food from Emilia Romagna or Sardinia is easy to find, that's why I linked it!

Food from Lunigiana is nowhere to be found in restaurants in NY.

I think this might be the difference between long and short scale: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scale

It looks like Imagination is trying to land their user space drivers for Rogue GPUs in mesa3d: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/15...

In parallel, they're working on upstreaming the kernel bits too: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/frankbinns/powervr/-/tree/pow...

Doesn't "university" start with the "y" consonant sound?

Offtopic: 'ciao' doesn't mean only 'goodbye' as the author seems to imply given the title. It means both 'hello' or 'goodbye'. It is similar to the Hawaiian 'aloha' when used as a greeting.

The 42nd street stop seems to be missing the 8th avenue line downtown platform.

Maybe it's just completely covered by the walking area?

It'd be great to have a 3d visualization where you can rotate the camera around.

Does https://www.google.com/?hl=en work?

In my experience, when I tried to board the wrong flight, the scanner served its purpose making an alerting sound and making sure they'd prevent me from boarding on the wrong airplane.

This was with Delta (both my intended flight and the mistaken one.)

You can pick one door, or all the other doors. What do you pick?

If you see this problem as a special case of another problem the answer becomes pretty intuitive.

Suppose there are N (let's pick 1000) doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others N-1 (999), goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens N-2 (998) doors, excluding No. 1, which have have goats.

Now there are only two doors closed, the one you picked No. 1, and one that was part of N-1 (999) doors. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 1 or the other one?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

Even if it's a little bit primitive, the facebook chat at mbasic.facebook.com still works when you need it.

Are you by any chance talking about Chinese restaurants in the u.s.? Most of the time when I had fish in China at restaurants it was whole. With head and everything. So, even if covered with any sauce, you could easily distinguish the fish.

I find interesting that you could read what the worker said as a metaphor to software development.

And if a worker were to look at how some code changes just looking at the files modified, he would probably notice that we keep tearing open and modifying the same piece of code many times, he might ask why can't we just fix all the bugs at once.

120 degrees in the train or on the platform? The trains have usually A/C, and if not, you can report it.

I commute on the 8 ave line every day and I've never been on a train without A/C.

If you search "Carbonara" in the U.S. you get something with cream, peas and garlic.

So, it's definitely affected. :)

If I search "traditional English pie" I see images of something more similar to what I suggested than the image you linked.

I'm in the U.S., so the search results might be affected by my location.

edit: I tried on google.co.uk and I get more results similar to what you suggested.

Wouldn't an English pie be similar to something like "torta pasqualina"?

It's not usual to see a pie with meat in Italy, usually its filling it's all vegetables/eggs, seldom some ham. There are plenty though.

Makes sense, I was describing my experience as employee and just trying to explain why comparing gross salaries doesn't make much sense.

True, but leaving health and pension in or out the gross salary makes a big difference if you want to compare gross salaries.

I don't know how it works in Spain, but in Italy the cost of an employee is probably much more than his/her salary.

The employer gives you a salary, then they have to pay on top of it ~30% of INAIL, INPS etc. (pension, health "insurance" including sick days and so on) and ~10% of TFR (fund you get back at the end of your career.) In the U.S. those are costs you have to remove from your salary.

So, 3000 euros a month would be 6000 euros before taxes and if you add the other employer costs, it's about 10000. Now convert it to dollars and you have a 130000 dollars a year.

There is a lot of shared memory between renderers and the browser.

Your 208MB might not be additional, but a big subset of it could be shared with the renderer/gpu process.

If you want to know where the memory is going you can go to about://tracing and enable the memory-infra category.

I think he meant to add print statements locally. You remove them before committing the code.

As it happens often, the title says New York City but it is only for Manhattan. It would also be nice if there were maps in-between 1609 and today to see which areas were built at different times.
