>and then you can explore the dream world as you like.

Not sure I understand the difference, you can as w ell start exploring from inside the dream. At least this is how it happened to me, without any prior plan I would realize I'm dreaming and start experimenting. That's kinda funny because I thought everyone is doing it, until much later when I started sharing this experience :D
> The next war will be (pretty much) the West against the Rest

Because all the countries of the West think alike and because everyone who isn’t thinks alike? This sounds like those politicians who ask “but what do the minorities want?”

Oren eini/ayende rahien. Hands down one of the best. Great at both low level and high level programming...
Why? 4chan and other assorted incels took the tactics used by the left to silence and deplatform people (mass flagging/reporting), and applied it to e-thots: women who often don't pay taxes, yet receive massive donations for sharing private pictures, often from sad young men who want to know what it is like to have a girlfriend, and get taken for a ride (they get automated "personal" messages on whatsapp, stringing them along with fake promises for more cash).

It was a bad idea when the left applied it to popular right speakers, and it is a bad idea when the right applies it in their misguided quest/troll to make society more puritan, help a brother incel escape the clutches of e-prostitution and try for a real girlfriend.

Viewed in a certain light, these accounts are nothing more than fronts for digital prostitution, all carefully made to guide people to one of their profitable monetizations. Even Youtube allows "performers" to use their suitable-for-work videos to advertise their Patreon, where kids can buy the bath water or access to lewd Snapchat of their favorite cosplayer or ASMR star.

This is not about sexual liberation, and platforms shunning porn stars. It never was. It is all about trolling/culture hacking these very gameable report buttons. It is what happens when you allow a vocal activist minority to moderate your platform. The BBC reporting it as a crackdown by big evil business (completely ignorant of the real cause, or the 1000$ per month blowjobs these stars are offering one click away) tells you we still have a way to go with investigative journalism. Big evil site owners used to pay Ginger Banks (the first time I saw her, she was live streaming her vagina from a public library PC), they love all the attention and engagement these women bring.

If the owners kick them off their platform, it is because they risk breaking the law or have their hand forced by activism/trolls. Anything else is eating into their business.
I guess I should have said "adapt" or "inspired by" or "riffing on" or something to indicate to the literal-minded that I was merely copying Sinclair's phraseology, rather than his meaning.

I thought "paraphrase" was sufficient, but I appear to have misjudged.
Unfortunately, API tokens are not the same as user logins, and very easy to separate out from user activity. Depends on some policy whim to be counted or not as user activity. Not dependable afterlife.
That was just an experiment. Now everything is real.
WinDbg Preview's Time Travel Debugger can do this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/de...
The great advantage of such a debugger is that you can use it to follow data flow: if you see an incorrect value somewhere, you can set a memory breakpoint and then run the program backwards to jump to the point in time where the value was written.

I've only used it with C++ applications so far, but the WinDbg blog claims that it also works when debugging managed code with the SOS debugging extension.

Visual Studio confusingly has the somewhat-similar "Intellitrace", but AFAIK that only records previous states collected for certain events (breakpoints, first-chance-exceptions, ...).
It can't rewind the program an arbitrary point like the time-travel debugger can, so it's not useful to follow data flow.
They mention a couple of features that are not just "long exposure" in the post:

* Compensating for moving stars

* "Live viewfinder" during exposure

* Selectively darkening the sky

* Dark current compensation (though that is probably needed for all long-exposure photography...still, not a simple "more exposure" feature)
Being able to play user-made levels is the single reason why I love the game. I’d be willing to pay for an Apple Music-like subscription to have my favorite songs as levels but the community ones are way more fun than the official stuff anyway. I wouldn’t support it if it ended up turning into Guitar Hero DLC-hell.
Actually I just realised that you avoided the question again, and pulled another of those “no character depth” and “no plot” tricks. I guess it’s a lost cause at this point.
The only times I click on ads is to see what competing businesses are doing / offering. I am pretty sure they would actually save money by stopping showing me ads.
Thanks, this summarizes my thoughts quite neatly.

And most importantly, love yourself and don't let others disinterest get to your spirit of making good.
If you aren't already using rr, which is open source, do try it.

And yes, Pernosco is super magic unicorn stuff. Do read about it.
I have been personally diving into compilers lately, and the amount of research which obviously went into this is pretty high (there are at least 3-4 independent resources which are required to find the right opcodes and ordering and...).

Well done and presented!
Using Chrome 11.0.696.50 beta here. It took a while to setup in that I got a partial skybox and a few jellyfish popping up and then a few more and then a few more after that. I thought the camera or scene was changing because it was so jarring. Once setup though, it works pretty well.

I get 8-9fps with the default settings. Reducing the count of Jellyfish to 5 gave me closer to 20fps. Reducing it to 1 and turning off Skybox and Particles gave me about 40fps, but didn't look nearly as cool.

Very nice demo.
Netbean's text looks fine to me on my ubuntu box which i use every day at job.
It is an abomination until you learn how to use it, then it is completely awesome.
Why would Google buy Sun? Google doesn't make hardware and Sun gave Java away for free. Google still gets to poach the best of Sun's programmers so what's in it for them?
Looks like they've dropped Ruby support. That is too bad. Netbeans was a pretty good IDE for ruby development. I wonder what motivated the decision to drop ruby.

Perhaps the fact that most of the comments here preferring the left one , are from left brain , programmers. I was raised by an art teacher , and in my opinion the one on the right has a better visual design. Although, the left one conveys more information , its to busy, signed the right brained art teacher's kid.
Because your average configure.in actually works on platforms the devs haven't tested it on, right?

Truth is most autoconf setups are just arbitrary pastiches of other autoconf setups that the devs didn't really understand. Half the time a bunch of the test results aren't even used, or are testing for something that isn't an issue on any platform it's ever going to be compiled on.

And when that makefile breaks? At least you have a hope in hell of understanding why it broke. Autoconf breaks? Good luck.

Why would a Martian lander be easier? On earth you get to use parachutes. The Martian atmosphere is too thin to use parachutes for any significant payload.

I know SpaceX is planning on a thrust-based landign system for Dragon, but the "lander" they've "already built" relies on parachutes.
Like most of these sorts of projects, it's a combination of "impressive" and "kinda sad".

Thanks! What kind of weird things are you doing that don't fit with the recurring model?
I would have paid for this when I was in high school. Maybe up to $15 or $20/month. When I found Maple in university and the step-by-step demonstrations of integration and derivatives, it was a godsend. I could pinpoint the exact step I didn't understand and work from there.

Consider targeting specific standardized tests. Parents seem to pay good money for their kids to have an advantage on standardized tests.

As far as prototyping, it could be a matter of taking something like Sage, Maxima, or Eigenmath and adding some hooks to output intermediate steps and text helper messages. They all output LaTeX IIRC, so you just need to hook that up to a latex-to-png program to render. You can target a specific problem like derivatives or simple integrals, and run some adwords for it to see if there is any interest.
How come I have difficultly reading those two comments by Senators as anything more than a thinly veiled "Nice company you have here, it would be a shame if anything happened to it."

It would be ironic if D.C. brings Apple down; they may think they're safe with Gore on their board but I wonder how much juice he has nowadays, with AGW having at best perception problems (for better or worse, the truth doesn't matter WRT to how D.C. views and treats things).
NYC is a pretty big place. Probably not much help to know of a joint in the Bronx or Staten Island if you're spending your time in Brooklyn or lower Manhattan.

Might be better to ask about free wifi in whatever area of the city you tend to visit.

fexl, loom looks very interesting, and the maintainer (you?) actually touches up on some specific market-based ideas I've been sort of idly kicking around in the FAQ (e.g. phone service contract exchanges). Is there a way to get an invite/sponsorship to play around with the system?

Obvious next step is 3D HD.

Also Onlive. Also more than one TV at the same time?

Live streaming HD video cameras from inside the house to outside when you're at work?
Gloves are dangerous because they will not tear like skin. The mill will continue rotating as it rotates then arm around the bit, usually about 1" in diameter. So think about how your bones would be crushed to spiral around the bit. The blood loss would be so rapid you would probably die. If you are by yourself, the pain will probably cause you to faint and die.

Leather and clothe gloves are not allowed around rotating machinery for that reason. Latex would be okay.
Actually, I'd imagine it's one of most common ways people siphon money out of credit cards. Any self-service kiosk is probably one of the only ways to immediately turn a printed credit card into something tangible.
DuckDuckGo gives me the same thing (I think that avoids personalization right?)
This is basically Skeuomorphism, right?
That's impossible. You're going to need a backend, which at that point it stops being HTML+CSS and becomes LAMP or something.

The only thing I can think of that can be done in pure HTML+CSS that would drive any sort of revenue and could be considered a business is an affiliate marketing site. I suppose you could also run a survey site and collect feedback via mailto link, but that's really old school.
I've been the following the election litigation stuff so much my first thought was that this was about the frivolous suits being filed to overturn Biden's elections. Although I was completely at a loss to think what it might be talking about in that regard, since every Kraken lawsuit has been lost at this point and there's no likelihood that any of the pending appeals will go anywhere.

An individual does not choose to be stupid, though.
The HiFive Unmatched will certainly be the best performing freely available RISC-V PC for the moment. Alibaba's XT910 might be similar but so far they're only using it internally.

The U74 cores in the Unmatched are very similar uarch to the ARM A55 (as found in boards such as the Odroid C4) minus NEON. That's a good step better than the A53 found in the Raspberry Pi 3, but not as good as the out-of-order A72 in the Pi 4. Overall performance on many tasks may be similar to or even better than the Pi 4 as while the CPU cores are slightly worse the RAM and I/O are better, with the Unmatched having 16 GB DDR4, an M.2 slot for SSD, and PCIe for a real graphics card (SiFive demonstrates it with a Radeon RX 580).

Obviously it's not price-competitive with a Pi at this point, as it's still low volume.

The best RISC-V cores are around 5 or 6 years behind ARM in performance, but catching up. SiFive claims A72 equivalence for the U84 out of order core they announced 14 months ago (which will probably start to be available in silicon around the end of 2021) and AliBaba claims A73 equivalence for the XT910.

Obviously no one has an Apple M1 equivalent RISC-V core at this point, but neither do ARM's customers.
Does it not freak you that the holder of the largest nuke stash has recently invaded a whole fucking country on false premises, just to access its oil? Talk about being out of control, eh?
Ive been thinking about this. A good engineer doesn't necessarily make a good seer. Until there is ample evidence of institutions relying on it as a hedge, most won't accept the reality.
I don't think they are grasping at straws, the cable subscription model just means there are lots of people willing to fund what ends up being relatively cheap "original" programming.

I suppose a simple step forward would be to require that a broadcaster that is owned by a cable company must offer the channels individually (which probably wouldn't impact Disney, but a Comcast subsidiary shouldn't be using channel bundles to extract revenue from Comcast competitors).
ok let me rephrase...for the vast majority of businesses using the cloud, and vast majority means small businesses since there are way more small businesses than big businesses, the cloud is much much cheaper.

the 'cloud' has enabled my business to grow. without it (despite the fact that our business is delivering customers to the cloud), i would not be able to grow and scale my business efficiently.

the author is talking about hosting an application in the cloud, which does not nearly encompass all the use cases for the cloud, and thus invalidates the argument.
That's not how the presumption of innocence works. I say that as someone who has practiced both civil and criminal law. Presumption of innocence only applies to crimes. Copyright violations are not crimes, they are civil torts. (Though some actions incident to copyright violations, i.e., circumventing DRM, can be crimes.)

Can dropshiip be used for illegal fire sharing? YES, in fact, that was the suggested and intended use. Under American case law, which governs Dropbox, that alone is enough to constitute a DMCA violation (see, e.g. Napster, Kazaa, and succeeding cases).

Dropbox took dropship down to prevent future legal issues. Since it's their service, they don't have to wait until they occur actual legal liability to act.
What I am asserting is that any president who cared about human rights would disregard these bullshit laws.

...virtually guaranteeing impeachment, and/or setting a precedent for a successor to disregard, say, human rights laws. Think of it like legacy code; it may be badly written, obsolete, and a waste of resources to remain compatible with it, but you may not have have any other choice. Historical figures often appear to have acted more boldly and decisively than those in politics today, because historical review necessarily involves simplification and a focus on outcomes. When you dig deeper, though, the process of change was often equally messy and haphazard.
Lots of families and couples have netflix collectively. I'd bet there are on average at least 2 or 3 people using each paid account.
Is there a Netflix competitor? Is there room for another Netflix?
> Imagine, if you will, that Motorola just introduced their latest Android device, front-facing camera and all, called the iDroid. The iDroid comes with an easy to use, ultra-simple video conferencing solution, but it only works on wifi, and it only works between iDroid devices.

How, I ask, would John Gruber respond to that? Imagine that it's been tightly polished and all.

Would he post a praise-filled entry lauding their innovation, heralding this great new functionality? Maybe I'm just being a jerk, but I think he would viciously attack it.

----------

I love how you're using a hypothetical scenario in which Gruber would very plausibly praise the implementation in question in order to undermine his credibility. He has often pointed out when a competitor does something better than Apple does, or otherwise markedly improves on the status quo.

All you've done is create a gestalt which people who don't know any better will interpret according to their biases. Talk about arguments that don't bear any scrutiny.
A 'simpler' solution would be to simply offer a complete alternative to javascript in the browser. If they released a new, fixed version of javascript, it would take at least a few years for the other browsers to catch up, assuming they even do (IE won't).

They actually did work out how to 'fix' many of javascript's issues over 10 years ago with the Javascript 2 proposal, but it never happened. http://www.mozilla.org/js/language/js20-2000-07/index.html
If they had simply added type annotations, for example, javascript would be an order of magnitude faster today, and pretty much every language out there could easily compile to javascript without losing any speed or features.
My question to anyone I catch doing that: Are you saving that code for a rainy day? The answer then usually varies but more often than not they get the point and delete it.
I care less about the backups because I have Backblaze covering my whole Dropbox folder anyway, but I can forget about that annoying thing called "USB sticks" - for me the real benefit is file transfer and access across devices, not backup.
It's an introductory product. I'm sure they've identified the mistakes they made with it and will improve on them for the next version. GoogleTV is still an amazing device, and I can't wait to see where they'll take it in the next 12 months. Greater integration with cable boxes and DVR units, a few interface touch-ups, and circumventing the ridiculous content-blocking that services like Hulu have done should be their primary goals.

But aside from that, this article is obviously flame-bait. Companies offering discounts on products leading up to the Christmas holidays? UNHEARD OF.

The important thing to keep in mind is that by "deploy" I mean "install" -- the goal is to make CouchApps as easy to share / replicate / install on end-user devices like cellphones and laptops.

Once you have a fully replicating application, you want to run it as close to the user as possible to avoid network latency. I don't think the deployment challenges of large centralized apps will go away, but there are a lot of apps that better fit the decentralized model.

Now that CouchDB makes decentralized web apps possible, we'll get to see what can be done.
The point is that there's incredible uncertainty about "What are the odds that life would develop on an earth-like planet?" and (to a lesser extent) "How many earth-like planets are there?"

This problem was "solved" by Drake's equation. http://xkcd.com/384/

I also feel that a "concensus" is unlikely. But IANAAP.

> In my personal opinion it's perfectly reasonable for a news website to ask people not to reproduce their headlines (or link to their stories).

Asking people not to link to your stories is absurd on its face when you put your material on the Internet.
CouchDB's security is per-database (since you assume you will be replicating a complete database to the end-user, the concept of cell-level security doesn't make sense).
I have never read a programming book from start to end, since most of them are either dry or not though-provoking. Three PL books that I liked very much are:

- Prolog and Natural-Language Analysis. An enjoyable introduction to Prolog and Natural Language analysis:

http://www.mtome.com/Publications/PNLA/prolog-digital.pdf

- The Reasoned Schemer. I didn't read the other Schemer books, but liked this one very much. Simple and to the point.

- Purely Functional Data Structures, for showing how simple and elegant functional data structures can be.
I don't think debt and bad credit should hold anyone back either. If you're bootstrapping you just have to include your debt payments as part of your expenses. And bad credit sometimes can take years to fix, so you may miss your opportunities if you wait for your credit to get better before starting.

Send the codes baby. Iran shouldn't be deprived of world technological development because the US is an ass.
For blogs it might still work somehow.

But where is the new Usenet for example? Where do you announce new software without using GitHub or Reddit or conferences for marketing?

Search engines don't find it. Torvalds had it easy with announcing Linux.
