The attention to ergonomics is a good point :) indeed.
@51cards you are abosolutely right.

In fact actual light mobile devices with touch screen can do the job pretty well, just with some sizes' variation of output screens, displays or powerful projections devices for larger sizes.
A synched Kinect with those devices, and it can enhanced a full room (even a meeting room) and there happens a revolution with a whole new real time social collaborative experience (domestic or office)

In fact, to synch "tablets" (from small like iphone, to larger devices) will bring an real simple immersive experience with data interactions.
What i seriously believe in, is the incredibly intuitive interaction with the data with some real collaborative display that is "touched" or more exactly "sensed" (kinect like) by more than just a single user at once, a finally real simple whole shared social experience.
just Imagine the power of the educative, creative outputs from such collaborative tools. :)
Just looking forward.
Twitter is a private business and can ban whoever they want at their disposal. I have been told repeatedly when asking why we don't have due process for this, especially when banning a high profile account.
In addition to the other answers, it is also a cheap way to do inbound sales. I've seen OSS downloads utilize this for the same reason.
I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. I think the epistemic closure among the remaining GamerGate partisans is exactly like the sort of thing you see at the core of plenty of movements. MRAs, climate change deniers, biblical fundamentalists, hardcore marxists, truthers, conspiracy theorists, et cetera, ad nauseam.

Promoting a worldview is a tricky thing. To be really good at it, you have to believe, and the more unorthodox your worldview, the harder you have to work to maintain that worldview in the face of widespread resistance. The easy thing is to refuse to even consider anything to the contrary, to only talk with people who share your views.

This pattern happens over and over in tech, too; it's not like we're exempt. Look at the dot-com bubble, for example. It was an article of faith that the Internet would change everything. That it turned out to be true eventually didn't matter; enough people took leave of their senses that we wasted billions.
I assume parent meant System V Application Binary Interface, Large AMD64 Architecture Processor Supplement, which defines the calling convention and as a part of it defines how registers are used.

So unless it is OK to break the ABI (i.e. you are going to call it only yourself, go wild), there won't be register coloring optimization over exported symbols.
I voted, that was a fun joke. 100% a reddit comment though.

There are some links there to other pieces if you want to read more about it.

I'm not claiming that moral authority flows from the Gnu brand; rather, they provide some information and reasoning which people can use to come to their own conclusions.
I feel like Shortcuts automation in iOS could do this.

Great video. I’m going to use this the next time I want to communicate how clever names aren’t as clever as I think they are.
Are you saying the concept of brain mapping locations is overly simplistic, or that crossed wiring could cause a foot fetish? The brain mapping is well supported: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortical_homunculus.
MacBooks used to have accelerometers that were used to detect sudden motion and park the hard disk head to prevent a head crash. But it looks like they've stopped including the accelerometers in more recent models with SSDs, since there's no equivalent need.
Where do you see this? I have done some modding for minecraft. There is defiantly some complexity hoops, but those seem to stem from the fact that the community is trying to make mutually compatible mods to a closed-source game under continuous development.
Yes, carbon has taken over the highend market. And not only because it is cheaper, but it also can be more comfortable, while a scandium bike might be more harsh. You could argue that aluminium/scandium is not the right material for a road bike.

For road racing there is no point in scandium anymore, carbon frames are made lighter, stiffer and more comfortable. The Scott Scandium from 2000 was below 1kg, the Scott CR1 from 2006 was even lighter in carbon, and more comfortable.

For tourists using road bikes, most people who pay for a highend bicycle will also have that be seen, with carbon, just like the professionals. There is no demand anymore for highend aluminium/scandium frames.

Then the really light scandium frames were well know for cracking, like the Scott Scandium. They were made to be raced and used for a few seasons. I doubt many have survived. I would love to have a bicycle like that, I think the Scott Scandium is beautiful, but I also know I will probably not like it much for riding.
He makes the basic error of not recognizing that the user is always right. If nobody thinks your games are great then they aren't great. You missed at least something when you made the game. If he actually made great niche games he would have built up a community around them of people who love that style in the 40 years he has been making games, but ultimately nobody cared about his games.

You don't have to make everyone think your game is great, but you have to make at least a fraction of people think so. Even just 10 000 dedicated fans of the genre is more than enough to keep an indie developer going, but he couldn't even manage that.
Sweden is a privacy-minded individual’s nightmare. There are a bunch of other sites like Hitta as well. For example on Ratsit you can pay a small amount of money and see anyone’s salary and full personnummer, which is similar to a social security number in the US. If they live in an apartment you can see exactly where in the building they live. Just as an example, when I was visiting a friend for the first time I wasn’t sure where in the building he lived so I put his name into Ratsit and it said “second floor, third door from the left”. It also had his phone number and other information about him as well, including other individuals he lived with and the names of every person in his building.
> I cannot understand why filling out the submission seems so hard in most countries

The fact that schools do not teach makes it crazy too. I imagine it has something to do with the fact that if you make it easy, mistakes cannot be made therefore you cannot exploit the few bucks here and there out of a large number of people who are not tuned to the tax filling process.
Well its not just about fun and games. We can also have technical exercises, communication skills improvement during this time.
There were, there were. I think Node.js is the way of the future with their evented IO platform.
When I took an introduction to Computer Science in college, it was taught in Racket. Over winter break, I then learned Python, and I was baffled -- why would any curriculum not start with Python? Python was easy, expressive, and allowed the user to get lots done with little effort. It was great at motivating programming by showing its use and power. It seemed like an ideal introductory language.

Over the last few years, however, I've back-tracked on this opinion: if you really intend to teach, not just motivate, then Python is a poor choice. A language like Racket is great for teaching because it lends itself to exploring so many core concepts: complexity of algorithms, functional programming techniques, recursion, data structures, etc.

A language like C (the next course I was to take in the introductory sequence) is also an excellent language because it forces the user to understand programming at the systems-level.

I don't really think Python is very good for illustrating either the theoretical or the systems-level CS concepts. It's a nice language for motivating programming and showing off how much you can do with little serious investment, but it doesn't really motivate learning Computer Science, i.e. learning Programming on a 'deeper' level.

Thus, I don't really think that learning Python offers solid programming foundations. Consequently, if you really aim to teach, not just to motivate, then use languages that bring the student closer to core CS concepts.
The GCE free tier is nice but ran out for me after just about a month of continuous use of one (cheap) GPU. Maybe some people have deeper pockets than I do but I can’t afford to pay $300 CAD/month on a single cloud GPU for hobbyist purposes.
So not all contributors got paid? Sounds obscene given how much money they have.
Dump it and run linux. Apple only wants to make instagram scrolling machines.
I haven't looked at Ethernet chips in detail, but they have similar analog circuitry. A "PHY" (physical layer) module does the analog encoding and decoding.

Standard cell libraries are lower-level than IP blocks since you're dealing with gates rather than functional units. I'm sure someone here knows about how they are licensed.

On the chip I looked at, the analog module and the CPU were treated as IP blocks. These blocks were built by IBM so the intellectual property itself wasn't an issue. But the blocks were designed by other teams and essentially dropped onto the chip unchanged. For the revised version of the chip, they redesigned the logic but kept the original analog and CPU blocks.
For example, you could remove that statement from your site and discuss that during the negotiation. At that time, you don't have to explicitly ask "are you white male?" either. You can do a video meeting and you'll know who they are. Then you can adjust your equity percentage accordingly without even mentioning you are giving them a discount because they are a minority, or you want more equity because they are oppressors. In my opinion, that would be the neutral way to handle this.

Otherwise, I agree with the other comments here that, whether you are favoring minorities or the oppressors, you are still categorizing people in your head and feeding the very concepts we need to pay no attention at all.
I'd even (somewhat tongue in cheek) say that the text editor is the worst and least important part of Xcode. :)

(In fairness it's been improving in recent years but it's still not flexible/customizable to my TextMate taste.)
thank you for sharing your thoughts.

-> Fingerprints are just more convenient. Apple, for example, argued the false positive rate way too high. For me, as a user, I'm more concerned about the false-negative rate. I think Apple just wanted more screen real estate. They could've easily put the sensor on the back (eg like the Samsung Galaxy S8).

I agree, a matter of fact fingerprint sensor on the back of a phone is arguably the most efficient way to unlock a phone. With desktops, it varies quite significantly.

for what its worth, one user told us that they have successfully logged in while having a green mint facial care mask on..:)

By no means Entry is the best tool out there, nor we claim it to be so. Here are a few known flaws:

- if someone has two or three monitors and it is unclear where the camera is, it requires some time to get used to, which may be annoying
- to your point, Entry will not work in a pitch-black room
- Entry is by no means "fingerprints-fast": as a factor, Entry competes with the time it takes to reach a phone and click on push notification. For example, mean time to verify using Okta Verify (default mfa solution for okta sso) is ~21 seconds. For Entry it's 30 seconds. We still need to work on that (although our users still choose Entry over Verify, we ask to have both factors set up :) )

That only happened if you ignored and dismissed updates for weeks.

It's amazing how much hyperbole is permitted around here as long as it's about Windows.
Because parents teaching their kids how to get ahead in life with tools presented to them is a core part of the human experience?

Why do we force parents to educate children in some manner? All kids should figure it out right?
I’m terribly sorry for your loss. I very much appreciate your reply, and I hope you find the person you want/need in this role.

If I may be presumptuous as a stranger who’s grieved several special relationships to offer advice, please try to catch yourself if that pursuit/search feels like it’s looking for a substitute for your Dad the person. Whichever relationship like that comes next will be both familiar and unusual. It might still be worth pursuing even if it doesn’t feel right at first.
I've been uploading a copyrighted show on a small YouTube channel[1] for fun for a long time now. This is exactly what happens[2] and why I've never had a strike or anything.

> That's like, your opinion man

Well, and the opinion of people that don't like slavery and theft.

> I don't know if you mean aspirationally, as in, there shouldn't be racist classist assholes out there so we shouldn't need positive rights to protect the dignity we all deserve

I mean positive rights cannot be established without evil. They should never exist, and any you can think of should be abolished.

> I wouldn't be the first to argue that a fundamental right to freedom is worthless if people aren't able to exercise that freedom

You don't need to take from others to be free. That is, in fact, the opposite of freedom.

> you can just google search "criticisms of the virtue of selfishness" if you want; People write proper papers and thesis on this stuff, not internet comments.

This isn't about selfishness. Well, kind of. Selfishness on the part of people demanding the positive rights, which _forces_ others under threat of violence to make their lives easier, regardless of whatever efforts they make on their own.

> So I still won't comment on whether positive rights should or should not exist

I maintain they should not.

> and instead say it is undignified to have to live in fear

So don't.

> and that a lack of equity fosters fear

Equity is impossible without violence and restrictions on freedom. It's not equitable that one person should be lame and another not: it only becomes equitable when we break the other person's legs.

> and ideologically I don't care how we do it

Neither did Mao, Stalin, or Pol Pot.

> so I believe it ethical to support things like traffic laws, minimum-wage laws, health-and-safety laws especially in farms, restaurants and hotels, and maybe even a commuter-premium

None of those things are rights.

> to prevent companies from exploiting another way humans are willing to degrade themselves.

If someone is willing to 'degrade themselves', why are you preventing them from doing so?
I’d like to note for anyone reading this that the Catholic Church (and Anglican I presume ) don’t teach all the dreadful creation science and king James literalism so many Protestant denominations do. You can have Jesus and your brain too. Plus for Catholic, mass isn’t a history lesson but a deliberate celebration of a living loving God. End of PSA.
Reminds me of Camus’ Myth of Sisyphus. If you haven’t read it, basically one of his recommendations of how to live life knowing that the human condition is absurd, is to be an artist. If you’re an actor, you become the role. If you truly become the role, you’ve lived a whole new life.

PS - if you’ve read it, I’d love to hear your thoughts. I’m sure people have different interpretations.
The result is not binary - you can have it fully working, or forget binary protocol, or syntax accepted but multiplication not happening; or correct code changes done, but code does not build...

That is one of advantages of longer questions (compared to 5 minute one): even if task is not fully done, there are plenty of other signals.
Net neutrality deals with the transmission, not the server or client, which is why openness and availability of operating systems has nothing to do with these regulations.

As to your second point, it is equally difficult to switch wireless providers (e.g. Comcast) as it is to switch wired providers (e.g. Verizon). Some would argue it's harder to switch wired providers since they are essentially government-endorsed monopolies, but then again many people cannot switch wireless providers due to 2-year contracts, work-provided plans, etc.
I would love to know how they managed to do this? What sort of camera did they use?
It causes readers to either slap their foreheads and say 'oh wow, 200 lines? I could have done that! why didn't I think of it?' or 'oh wow, it takes true genius to hit just the right 200 lines. I could have never done that!', the common factor being 'oh wow'
Every time this topic comes up, I wonder why lobbying is legal. Can anyone give me a good explanation? The only one I've really heard is "lobbying is free speech, corporations need free speech".
that's a great suggestion and seems to be useful tip to get started to writing a new language on our own.

The article doesn't mention current mining methods (that I remember). Just "There aren't a lot of scandium importers and miners, and the few that exist charge a premium.".
Oh my!

"Why have I failed? ... The simple answer is that ... I’m too far ahead of my time... I’m a misunderstood genius. ... the world doesn’t yet perceive a need for the ideas I peddle. In 1885, physicists didn’t perceive a need for special relativity, and they would have rejected it out of hand."

Or... you're wrong.

[In the movie "Matrix"] "Neo has been revived and looks down the hall at the agents and sees the reality of the Matrix: that it is numbers. I see the same thing when I look at the real world."

I've been following his work for years, And spoken to people who have been to his 'conference' (and who I suspect will be rather bemused by the way he described them here!). The general consensus was it's horribly self-referential impracticality.

There is a reason he hasn't made anything practical in 35 years. Since the time when his success at 80s game development made him think it was the wrong thing that caused the success. (Hint: it was not his ad-hoc mathematical models, no matter how much post-doc justification he can ladle on them).

I have wondered about him, but sadly this post is rather damning in my eyes.
Saturated fat turns out to be entirely harmless; it turns out that ills blamed on sat fat are caused by sugar and by ... something else ... that is in American-farmed meat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM

Think of sugar (the fructose in sugar) as a poison. Your liver can neutralize any of myriad poisons at a strictly limited rate, fructose among them. So, choose consciously how much of each poison you want to eat, according to the load on your liver. Fructose and alcohol use the same pathway, so choose wisely.

Americans eat way more fructose than their livers can neutralize, and are dying from it in numbers that make COVID-19 look like the common cold. The autopsies don't say "died of sugar poisoning". Instead, they say heart disease, stroke, obesity, complications from diabetes, metabolic syndrome, hypertension... But it's mostly the sugar.
As crime perpetually gets worse in Sweden in the coming decades, it's practically a guarantee their culture will change when it comes to tolerating such privacy violations. They'll begin to lock down formerly open aspects of their culture.
> It’s not even an option in Manhattan, but plenty of people would disagree it “sucks” there.

In Manhattan thats the expectation. You’re in a super dense area filled with high rises. Life is good for apartment dwelling.

In Mountain View, you’re in a suburb that’s mostly single family homes that you’re constantly reminded you won’t ever be able to afford.

> How is it reasonable in the least to expect a big house with a garage and a yard

That’s the lifestyle of the peninsula. It’s reasonable to expect the lifestyle you are constantly surrounded by. Back to the Manhattan analogy, $250k absolutely would not be considered good money if it could not afford you the ability to live like the average property owner.

The Bay Area is a stark contrast between the people lucky enough to have purchased 10+ years ago + some FAANGs and everyone else. Everyone else is stuck in a terrible apartment telling themselves stories about how they’ll get out after making their money or whatever.

It’s nice living in a walkable apartment with no car in Manhattan (or nyc in general). It’s dreary AF on the peninsula.
India has far more two-wheelers than cars. The 57 million figure probably excludes the former because in 2016 India had ~250 million vehicles of all types [0] (so it's probably over 300 million now). This is an important distinction in this case because 48% of road fatalities in India involve 2-wheelers, vs 30% for 4-wheelers [1].

This is just pedantics of course - there's no doubt that Indians' traffic hygiene in general is abysmal. I was living that nightmare every day until Covid put a pause on it :-).

That would work if we knew how to ship secure software at something resembling the cadence the industry demands, but we do not. We pretend to, and we get away with it because there isn't toothy liability attached to shipping bugs. We are all here, the software people on this site, the beneficiaries of that system.

Just very simple things, like reimplementing non-performance-sensitive C software from the 1990s and 2000s in simple memory-safe languages; it can't happen, the budget to make it happen would totally disrupt P&L at large companies; repeat with every well-known risk this kind of code is exposed to. I don't think we know how to solve this problem, which is why I tend to recoil from policy proposals to "solve" it.
I don't see that as fundamentally different than any other large Forex transaction. A bit unusual for a manufacturing company, but hardly unprecedented, and for all we know this is just a signal that Musk is betting he can call the Bitcoin bubble, rather than an actual hedge against USD.

Hmm, surely there are cheaper forced labor options available in China?

Hyundai seems like they might be paying their employees, which seems a little off-brand for a company like Apple.
Its really not acceptable to be using a web browser 1 year behind on security updates. Especially since almost everyone is using an auto updating browser now.

Once a feature has been out on all major browsers for a year than its fair game to use. Its also not wasting your time trying to develop a modern web app which has support for netscape navigator.

Going off the usage stats of the site I work on, almost everyone is on the latest version of their browser and the ones that are not always end up upgrading after a warning notice is sent out about old borwsers.
