I do, and while you have to assume every statement I make has a silent "for the price" catted to the end, I am really at awe with it and now use it much more than my iPad 1.

The smaller form factor really shines for reading ebooks, email, and cool feed readers like pulse. It's super responsive for all 2D tasks (reading, movies, games like Angry Birds) and you can hold it in one hand for extended periods unlike the iPad, which gets a little fatiguing after a half-hour or so.

The eMail and gmail apps are great, Dolphin Browser HD and Firefox are good alternatives to the standard browser in Gingerbread, and it Tweets well enough. Youtube app plays well. Flash mobile is... well, it's flash on a mobile device (warts and all). Load all fantastic flash ads on demand!

The processor is sporty (not fast), that is unless/until you root it and overclock it. I've got CPU governor set to "performance" and have it set at 600 MHz minimum and 1.1 GHz
max. That said, Angry Birds ad-free plays silky smooth; with ads, it's a slog, but that's with almost any android device I've seen aside from my dual-core, nVidia-powered Atrix 4G phone. The overclocking produces no more heat or detrimental effects that I can perceive, so I believe they underpower the CPU by default.

The Omap SoC has a decent graphics card that can play, for example, Backbreaker Football in 3D without any jitter and few (if any) dropped frames at all. It runs quadrant (synthetic benchmark) at an overall score of 2100+ and a 26.4 fps on neocore.

It's a daily driver for me. The screen is great, it's super portable yet more substantial than a smartphone (especially for reading/surfing), and I've been actually reading more now than ever (split between nook's app and the kindle app).
Thats it? That response is a bit of a letdown (but in a way exactly what I'd expect from rms). It kind of goes without saying that you're going to be skeptical of things said by someone who disagrees with your philosophy, but I wouldn't fault him for using that as a preface to a discussion, except that's all he says. It make it seem like he just dismissed your message without giving it any thought. Maybe that kind of hypocrisy is needed in a advocate like himself, implore people to heed your message, ignore listening to anything that might change your attitudes.
One thing I'm curious about -- if you want to spread your instances over multiple zones and you are using postgresql, how do writes work? Won't latency to the master be slow if instances in one zone are trying to write to the master located in the other zone?
What's interesting is Wufoo didn't take a lot of funding at the start, and they grew over time.

It's great product that I've been happy to evangelize over the years. It does what it says, and it does it well. Congrats Wufoo!
I find it amusing that we declare the end of America by the simple fact that another country may become a greater economic power.

I'm just envisioning America popping out of existence -every man, woman, child, cow, car and building going poof- the moment the Chinese economy becomes greater.

Strikes me as the "X is Dead" meme.
After reading the headline I was hoping this post would shine a light on how gui’s hide the functions and steps a computer takes, and how this abstraction creates an image of computing as something extraordinarily complex, and how that’s a great loss for society as many people don’t learn about the basic building blocks of computing and computers, and how we are all the pooper for this development (which alienates a great deal of people due to the break-neck speed of modern society).

Please can we talk about that instead? I am not so interested read a list of actions which this author believes are superior to be performed using the CLI.
Lol, this just gave them more clout
Does Vald support boolean filtering? That is, can I attach a number of attributes to vectors, and then find the nearest neighbors that match a boolean filter on the attributes?
> the term "rebase" doesn't mean anything outside of Git so it's not obvious what it is doing under the hood

Read "base" as "baseline"; that should help significantly for the simplest use of rebasing a series of commits without changing them.
There is an insane amount of hype, and the expectations are hyper inflated relative to what is realistic and feasible. Uncontrolled hype results in real harm. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter

There is nothing wrong with grounding a company's claims/goals against reality. Particularly relevant for any company lead by Elon Musk. His timelines are always wrong. He's been promising FSD is just a year away for the better part of the last decade.
Don't forget the New World. That's such a big deal it's almost hard to wrap your head around. That changed things irreversibly. Unless it just becomes a backwater.

Then why tie the format to present-day technical tools like text editors? Why not invest in a format that makes sense and the tools to understand and work with it?

Also, GPUs and their architecture aren't a fad, they have been the same for the last 30 years. If you want your format to be truly device agnostic, text is a bad format because it precludes many types of devices (GPUs and hardware accelerators) from being able to use it.
Everyone should get a post refresh at the exact same time. So if you don’t use your post that week, you lose it.

> Affordable housing is housing that is passed down from generation to generation. We don't need to build "affordable housing". We need to build good high quality housing that will then get transferred down to other people through sales. (And with proper land value taxes - these will not be appreciating assets)

This is just trickle down theory, but for housing instead. What actually happens is that old housing stock is bought by investors who then tear it down and develop it into luxury housing, and often that housing is then either used as speculative assets or bought by some of the world's richest people looking to store value.

Affordable housing doesn't mean "low-quality housing", it can mean high quality housing that is subsidized so that working class people can afford it, instead of just the adult children of the already wealthy, like many neighborhoods in cities are becoming/already are. Do it right, and that housing can become generational wealth, as well.

Somebody should tell Wikipedia. Their banner still says "Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit."

And we're asking "why would they let just anyone edit a page?"?
> The instances of safe code that the borrow checker can't verify as such are not "corner cases" by and large, they're genuinely non-trivial patterns, often with non-obvious drawbacks such as lack of composability/modularity.

Unfortunately, the borrow checker can't handle a basic observer without falling back to patterns that violate encapsulation. The observer pattern is one of the best patterns for composability/modularity, and I find that the borrow-checker-compliant solutions are more complex and don't solve anything but rather move problems somewhere else.

It's cases like these that make me appreciate Rust's wisdom of adding Rc<RefCell<T>>.

This is pretty much the same as the original on Twitter.

Here’s another fancy idea: Write that README before you write the code.

I find this idea to be very effective, as long as the scope can be kept to a minimum (think MVP). I've seen it work not only for CLI apps, but also for simple HTTP API servers.
Apologies, Professor, I missed your reply!

SharedArrayBuffer makes communication between schedulers essentially equivalent to non-browser environments, but support for it is still iffy at best due to Spectre. Luckily, that is a temporary problem, not a fundamental issue (SharedArrayBuffer being disabled that is, not Spectre).

In a single-threaded setting, there isn't any significant overhead that I'm aware of between a browser and non-browser environment, aside from any overhead potentially incurred by executing on the WebAssembly VM rather than directly on the host machine. Of course, running single-threaded is less than ideal for other reasons.
> Nothing is easy anymore.

I don't agree with that completely.

I do agree with the fact that the half-life of programming knowledge is far too short.

We flip through languages, technologies, etc. before anybody actually gets truly proficient with them.
A basic Life Support Course is like 2 hours (maybe 3). Actually did it in the morning then spend the afternoon testing everyone.

A Essenial First Aid at Work course is 8 hours (this is the legal requirement for FAW in the UK)

A Full First Aid at Work is 32 hours.

A EMT-B in the USA (min needed to do, to get on an Amblance) is 50 hours

The basic training for amblance in the UK is about month with a week training in driviong with blue lights

Ok if you want to get a medical Gas Qual well you looking at about 8 hours or so.
Patient and casualty handing are both about 2-3 hours each.

What is the bug exactly? Its not like there is some complex sequence to trigger any of this shit, its just sitting there because it's a terrible unsafe design. This is more of a critique of design than any zero day bug post. This is all in the goddamn manual.
I'm just saying that I suspect the people at NASA who wrote this document likely designed the least impossible hypothetical mission after considering a number of approaches, and didn't necessarily write down every approach they considered.

I aim for "first thing that I can get to work and doesn't take more than 20 seconds". Usually they run in under 2 (Common Lisp is my language of choice). Then for the part 2 portions I may have to optimize.

I sometimes go back and clean up my solutions, though I aim for a combination of clarity and performance if I do that, clarity first.
>It’s saying that our ancestors where actively avoiding ketosis which is the core of the Palio diet.

Ketosis and rabbit starvation (ammonia toxicity) are completely different things. The reason that there was too much protein in the meat was that there was not enough fat; carbohydrates are simply not available in Siberian winters.

Also, paleo diets don't aim for ketosis. Those are called keto diets, and for most people they're just a short-term rapid weight loss strategy (also useful long-term in epilepsy and possibly some autoimmune disorders). Paleo by contrast is supposed to be a long-term maintenance diet that usually doesn't aim for rapid weight loss.

Also, the downsides of "too much protein" have been well-known in pretty much every paleo discussion community since forever, since it's a well-known fact of experience among many athletes. The idea that protein toxicity is a problem in practice for paleo is silly (it wouldn't even make the top ten if you listed the real flaws).

I would not advise following paleo diets in the form they're commonly presented -- they place too much emphasis on the wrong things and contribute to the iconoclastic miasma that has been suffocating Western societies -- but the article's comparison is, nonetheless, completely off-base.
Are you able to cache the results of the external HTTP calls (assuming that's what you mean by 'network responses')? I did that for one of my Rails apps and it's handling tons of requests fine.

It's about on par on quality as the HTC Evo or Droid Incredible, which is great, but not astoundingly spectacular in my opinion. And as we all know, two months from now HTC will probably be releasing some newer and better.

It's a competitive product, but in my eyes it's comparable to what's already out there, improving in the same way other products do when they're released (screen resolution, thickness, etc). It's just not worthy of getting your panties in a bunch, and certainly not worthy of migrating to it from a n Incredible, Evo, or Desire. Just not enough advantages to make it worth it.
That's the point. :)

The core problem is the "Eat Your Broccoli" Problem. In-depth and globe-spanning reporting is essential for a running democracy, but everyone would rather spend their money on American Idol than American Morning and would rather read about celebrity domestic scandals than domestic policy. The cross-subsidy system worked well in the 20th century to avert this, but that's out the window. We need to either create a new cross-subsidy system or we need to find a way to charge people for news directly.

And let's not forget Craigslist if we're casting blame on why the Internet killed newspapers. The classifieds section got decimated by it.

"Here, they confuse journalism with newspapers, and an informed public with newspaper jobs. In fact, Americans have never been better informed or more engaged."

This is not new or unique to newspapers. It's a fallacy common to pretty much every sinking industry.

"but the FTC is an 'independent' agency run by people appointed by the Obama Administration, which has been antagonistic to an Internet it cannot control"

When has the Obama Administration been antagonistic towards the Internet? Aside from ISP-promoted wackaloon conspiracy theories about how Net Neutrality is actually censorship, where is the argument (much less evidence) for this? I mean, I realize this is The Heritage Foundation, but come on. Way to trash a great article with a nonsensical partisan jab.
Yikes, thanks for pointing this out! I fixed a rendering bug in MobileWebkit and wound up breaking Firefox. It should work now.

He's waiting for external network I/O. It's about concurrency, not performance. Even if he wrote the app in C it's not gonna help him unless he increases concurrency quite a bit.
There aren't any technical reasons that can't be said to exist with HTML5. If you think so you obviously haven't looked at many of the HTML5 demos that are supposed to be as good as Flash.

Second of all. I am an Apple fanboy. I have more or less everything they do and don't care whether flash is on there or not.

That does not mean that I have to buy weak arguments just because they come from Jobs. And they are in my opinion weak I would gladly explain in further detail.

I call it as I see it and given that Apple has now both entered the ad space and is said to be developing a new framework for HTML5 I frankly don't see why that would be conspiracy theory.

Last but not least. I never ever talked about unfair play, so why you would claim such a thing is beyond meaning.
Especially it's ironical in the contexts of the interview, when the question is something like "write a function to reverse order of all words in the given string".

So I'm thinking to myself: "You don't even comprehend how hard it's to actually do, or you know it and checking if I know it?". And then there is a need to ask a lot of probing questions just to learn the the string is ASCII and separator is space.

> 1) What are the advantages of getting separate feeds from BATS/EDGEX etc. instead of using the consolidated then?

In addition to what the others wrote... here's a simple description.

The UQDF is the top-of-book (best bid, best offer) for each RegNMS protected venue (e.g. exchanges) for Tape C tickers. [Tape C is NASDAQ-listed tickers, although confusingly UTP, which NASDAQ operates, stands for Unlisted Trading Privileges]. All orders at this top "level" are aggregated, so you only know the total number of shares there.

The direct feeds are generally "full depth-of-book" for an individual venue and not aggregated (although some feeds do), meaning you can see every individual displayed order at every price level.
I feel your pain. Though I use KeePass instead of FF's integrated password manager. PayPal won't allow me to copy and paste my login credentials, so I have to make the credentials visible and manually type it out. Both a security issue and a major hassle.
>The financial crisis was born out of over-enthusiastic mortgage lending - i.e your basic retail product. Even lehman brothers, a classic IB, went down due to it's large commercial property portfolio which tanked in the crisis (again, nothing to do with derivatives).

How can you possibly say this? It was mortgage backed securities (derivatives) and collateralized debt obligations (derivatives of derivatives) that were the main product that allowed excessive lending, by obscuring the true risks. It was the markets for these securities that froze, causing the liquidity crisis that drove the financial crisis.
It figures - this "leak" seemed completely uncharacteristic of Snowden's other leaks.
>Honestly, if I'm walking down the street and I see a cop, I tend to ... behave ... better.

If you weren't breaking the law, then that's not what I would call a good thing.

>If there's a cop watching, it doesn't really matter to me whether or not he's got a camera on his glasses; either way, I'm being watched.

Right, at least with the camera, there is less chance for the officer to make a mistake, or lie.

>If this cuts down on police abuse (and other wasteful crap), then I'd say the pluses outweigh the minuses.

I would agree. The point of my earlier comment was to imply that all policemen may not welcome the 'intrusion'.
Hey vnchr, thanks!

If the place you adopted the dog from didn't give you information, you should talk to a vet about what parasites are common in your region and what treatment options there are. --Many times vets will offer a couple of options for non-prescription treatment and prevention.

If you're in a region that doesn't have fleas and ticks, there's no reason to treat your dog for them. The same goes for many of the other parasites listed.
"I'm surprised people like Will Scott haven't gotten in trouble. (I don't want to single him out,"

You are still doing it by writing that, and actually you aren't suggesting that the trouble to him would come from DPRK, but you are "nicely" suggesting he should get "in trouble" in the US just for lecturing in DPRK. Basically claiming, without writing the words that you are "surprised" he isn't considered a "traitor":

1. We do not have any megafauna to introduce yet

2. If we find a method to restore mammoths, producing large enough number of these animals will take hundreds of years

3. the meat that we do not produce in arctic, is produced in tropics at the cost of destruction of much more diverse and useful forests.

But it also doesn't need to be "intensive" and can be free range.

> What you're saying is that wrong understanding is better than not to try.

You can be wrong but state clear hypotheses and a non logically flawed reasoning that allows you to make statements about the world. These can then be tested for their validity.

What you claim is that the standard for the quality of the test are not high enough. That may be true or false however this is only one aspect of science. For instance many people misunderstand the use of maths in Economics. The point of using mathematical models is not to be able to make predictions about next year's GDP but to make sure that what follows from your clearly stated hypotheses about human behaviour is consistent.
I stopped reading after the first paragraphs because it felt like the author is at best a lazy writer and at worst an intellectual imposter.

I loved The Matrix. It was a great flick. It wasn't art though and somebody using this lame reference today makes me question their expertise on the subject. The Matrix used ideas from Baudrillard & Borges. Both are cornerstones in post-modern literature while the Matrix is just an action flick rehashing the ideas from Plato's cave. The director hoped it would rub off on them so that they can shrowd themselves in philosophical wisdom. Everyone on the set was given a copy of Simulacra by the director to read. (this is often quoted along with Neo's own copy in the film and makes me question who actually read the book and how many of them read it enough times to understand it)

Baudrillard who was asked about what he thought about the film said it was merely another copy of Plato's cave allegory and it made no effort to actually touch the core-ideas of the book.

>> Neo has been revived and looks down the hall at the agents and sees the reality of the Matrix: that it is numbers. ....

When somebody uses The Matrix in a blog post >20 years later I can't help but wonder why they chose it. Something tells me they have a poor understanding of the world. It's like somebody referencing a Mickey Mouse comic to talk about ducks. It means your audience are probably fools (and by extension the author). How can they be taken serious when they don't understand even their own self-chosen references/allegory.
And nationalism isn't uniquely a right-wing thing at all. All communist governments embraced nationalism.
While I agree the article is more technical than the author claims, that summary says very little and sounds like fear mongering. It is important to have a credible tone in order for a serious issue to be treated seriously.

One of the interesting things about the original article are the technical details. If the claims are true, almost anyone who has a decent knowledge of computer networking can circumvent the security measures. Even replacing jargon with descriptions more amenable to a non-technical audience would likely convey the same thing. This is in stark contrast to most of the vulnerabilities we hear about these days, where a much deeper knowledge is required to exploit the vulnerability even when a thorough description is provided.
