Based on its design, I can't imagine it going very far or very fast. The appear (what there was) of the Segway is that it will allow a normal human to go much further, much faster than would be possible by walking. And without breaking a sweat.

With the tiny wheels, I'd think it would be a rough ride anywhere near where I live... with the uneven sidewalks and other transitions needed.
I would give you a few million dollars to see that if I had them! It would be an incredibly useful project for education :D
Except you aren't really limiting the tools available to the bad guys, you are just making the UX worse. I find this 'best practice' annoying design and doubt that it has mitigated any attacks.

One practical if very niche use I could see for this would be doing steady shots when filming. I don't think it would let you do anything new but it might make doing some types of shots easier.

They mention Vancouver's high real estate prices as a factor but Silicon Valley, San Francisco and New York have that problem too. Rather, as they have mentioned, it's the lack of other Unicorns in the area, the scene is still too small.

Also it just seems futile to me to try to find that one special talented executive when we've seen so many times where a high-priced executive is hired only to see them not make a difference and resign early with a huge golden parachute.
Supporting your point, OK Labs claimed years ago their OKL4 microkernel had hit a billion units in phone market. Mainly for baseband isolation and legacy code (eg brew). So, it's exceeded Linux servers and slowly catching up to Android esp as it runs it virtualized.

And Samsung Galaxies use INTEGRITY Multivisor for Knox. Blackberry plus automotive often do QNX. Apple does a hybrid with Mach and wants a real one. A lot of design moving one way in particular. ;)

I'd be super worried riding this in anything other than a smooth indoor environment, as it looks like the smallest chunk of gravel could send you flying.

But I think the non-self-balancing but still weight-sensing control scheme has a lot of promise (I've built a few of theses myself: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=49557...). I've found segway-style vehicles really twitchy to ride (since they'll literally tip over if they don't react quickly and forcefully enough), whereas basic weight sensing control is super intuitive (much more so than, say, the hand control on the Boosted boards).
Credit card security is a joke. I shouldn't have to worry every time I give my credit card information to a website that they may leak it due to whatever reason. The information that I give out should be considered public information. They should require to always authenticate myself with the physical card (which is a smart card by the way). What's the point of the card otherwise?

It's not like I want to cover up for cvsphoto.com. I just find it ridiculous that if I give my credit card info to N website than the risk that my credit card info get stolen and abused is O(N) instead of O(1).

I do remember it being fairly good when I read some of it in high school, although something about it failed to capture me and prompt me to read it all the way through.

One factor of that may be because Asimov didn't really understand the material, turns out he hit a wall when going from differential to integral calculus (the 2nd part of introductory calculus, very basic stuff), so I now view it with suspicion.

The challenge facing vancouver is that the population can't afford to live there. While there may be a few tech companies in town, overall, the city doesn't have an industry.

Canadian visa policies got all kinds of foreigners investing big money into real estate in the city while not creating any actual jobs in the process.

So there isn't much of an economy supporting the city + thus a pretty small talent pool for any prospective startups to draw from...
The telescope itself is the major German contribution, so all the telescope engineers are German.
Apple does a hybrid with Mach and wants a real one.

I know that XNU is based on a chimera between OSF Mach and FreeBSD, but I'm pretty sure most practical u-kernel gains are lost in this process. They do have the basic resources like tasks, threads, VM and IPC with its system of port rights checking, but it's mostly leveraged as a convenient abstraction at best. I don't think OS X even supports per-application default memory managers, does it?

However, what you said about "wants a real one" really piqued my interest. Is it true Apple is researching pure microkernel designs for their products? That sounds great, do share some links.

Have you guys missed the numerous controversial issues that consistently come up around this? I really don't understand the viewpoint that these guys are just coming out with a rule book apropos of nothing except their desire to nanny and police people.

Is it possible that you're a part of the class that, yes, doesn't experience the negative aspects of the community, and thus has no empathy for those that do? Ah, but yes, "that's life, suck it up" - right? Stiff upper lip, don't be a whiner, I didn't need empathy to get where I am, and so on and so forth.

While that may always be good advice to follow, personally I find that attitude an excuse to be callous and lazy. Actually taking the time to understand other people and their issues, truly trying to get outside of your own biases and experiences and put yourself in their shoes, is more impressive to me.

Missing XCode UI Elements
Hello, I'm learning Swift in my spare time. Still pretty new at it (so forgive my ignorance in advance). Anyhow, I'm trying to build a library of custom UI controls in Swift. I know there are open-source projects out there but I'm trying to build something from scratch myself.

For example, I've used Visual Studio in the past and I wish there were Checkboxes, perhaps Dropboxes, ViewBoxes (which automatically resizes the content inside of them), Charts, etc.

What about you? Are there specific controls that you wish were available in XCode? Or cool ones you wish existed?

Your help would be very helpful in getting me started. Thanks :)

Maybe I missed this (it's hard to peruse the milestones/headlines from the timeline layout), but there's no mention on the timeline of Zipcar being bought out by Avis in 2013. While Zipcar is still alive in name today, I don't think everyone would call it an unmitigated success:

http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2013/01/02/aviss-smart...

> As with many high-flying IPOs, however, Zipcar never fulfilled its promise, and its stock never again saw those heady first-day levels. By the end of 2012, its market capitalization had fallen to $330 million, while Avis Budget’s market cap was $2.1 billion — making an acquisition both easy and obvious. In the past eight months alone, Zipcar stock fell by 40% while Avis stock rose by 60%
> both in terms of compensation and technical & creative challenges open to solve

Can you name other "career paths" where are more technical & creative challenges open to solve?

I am working on an indie game project right now and worked for a big corporation in a total different sector before and I must say, that when you talk about compensation, you might be right (at least, when you are working in a company), ...

... but when thinking about technical & creative challenges, game development always wins for me hands-down in my personal experience.

Slightly More Than 100 Fantastic Pieces of Journalism
The challenge facing all these potential "startup hubs" is lack of exits. Investors invest to make a return. Silicon Valley's environment for exits is unmatched. Tokyo, Singapore, Vancouver, all the same issue. Weak environment for exits means weak environment for investment means weak environment for recruiting, etc.

I spent most of the last few years traveling, lots of time in Asia, and this is the disappointing truth. China is the notable exception where there are real exits and (no surprise) lots of investment money, talent, and ideas.

Spring MVC Web Application Tutorial with Examples – Part 1
I was lucky that during my research time I got to know Dawkin's work. And the journey started there:

1. "Cats' Paws and Catapults: Mechanical Worlds of Nature and People" by Steven Vogel. If you were fascinated by the wings of birds or little waves behind the plants in water read this. Fascinating book!

2. "The meme machine" by Susan Blackmore. Starting off where Dawkin's book ended.

3. "Three steps to yes" by Gene Bedell, beside Getting to Yes already mentioned here.

Agreed. As a 20 year+ street skateboarder, I can tell you that even with larger and softer urethane (85-90A) wheels, a pebble the size of a tic tac will send you to ground rapidly.
The key is to over time develop skills of controlling weight on your board. I suppose this design could be modified some, but more likely that the driver/rider will need to learn some skills from skateboarders :)

Given the very high levels of household debt in most of developed Europe, I have to disagree with your premise.

See: Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Ireland, Portugal, Finland, UK, Switzerland, Norway, Spain -- all of which have either high or very high household debt to income ratios due to "loans."
That ship has sailed. Today, "open source" means "free" in Stallman's terminology. Asking people to use nonstandard terminology in order to promote a particular viewpoint is not reasonable.

You know, they would try to render Word documents and Excel sheets if they could, if the formats weren't quite as Lovecraftian as they are, to display properly.

I bet they'd even try to render .PSD files.

So maybe PDF just hits the bad spot of being just not too arcane to implement, yet still being crazy enough to be a gigantic attack surface.
I've had fun using them to make quasi-orms for CSV and Excel spreadsheet data before.
> I haven't seen a great game fail

Being "great" (whatever that means) has nothing whatsoever to do with success. There are plenty of "great" things, games included, that fail. The whole idea of "building a better mouse-trap and people will beat a path to your door" is a fantasy. And this is particularly true for any app --game or not-- in something like Apple's App Store.

You can take crap, add great marketing and turn it into solid cash-flow.

In an ecosystem like the app store any app without a solid and aggressive marketing program is almost guaranteed to fail.

Yes, "great" is better than "lame" but they don't succeed or fail on their own.
magit and p4.el are different. The scope of the projects is different - p4.el is a thin wrapper over p4, magit is an full blow UI both exposing and going beyond the underlying git's "porcelain".

Compared to git Perforce command line interface is much smaller and more consistent. And it is designed to be invoked from an editor/IDE. This makes p4.el job easier than magit's. p4.el has fewer features, needing less code, and can reuse more of this code.

p4.el UI was also designed to mirror p4's interface using the same commands and vocabulary. This makes it unusual in Emacs world where SCM interfaces tend to use UI derived from to pcl-cvs. p4.el does not. magit clearly started out similar, but is now vastly more ambitious, but still has some of this flavor.

W.r.t. editor support - for any command where the CLI would open P4EDITOR with some template filled in (like say committing) - p4 has an equivalent workflow which can be easily automated from within an IDE. I.e. it has one command/option that will spit out the template, and another command/option that will accept this template filled in, from stdin. It's hard to believe but git lacks this feature. So, magit has an elaborate library to work around this using emacsclient.
iOS+8.4.1+jailbreak
I'd say 10 or so false claims over 10 years is not really that bad. I've talked to security experts who enjoy the show. It is more for entertainment and industry news, I think people who compile lists like the above linked are trying way too hard and makes me wonder why they hate Gibson so much.

Would I hire him to do pentesting on my app? No.

Would I enjoy listening to him talk on a podcast about security related topics. Sure, I do.
I can't believe I read through an entire article about Tom cruise and man traps and seismic sensors and never once learned what the fuck these magic keys actually do.
San Francisco has the same problems of high real estate prices but if the pay were better and we have bigger companies here (and the Canadian dollar were stronger) then we'd attract more people. There is all this talent in the States and they'll just stay there. Plus lots of strong Universities in the area pumping out more talent.
I've used it to simulate new language features. It sort of allows you to program the type system.
By most modern architectures you mean 32bit, since you seem to think accessing a 64bit "long" (it's 32bits on windows btw) takes two memory accesses. 32bit architectures are not "modern"... Maybe you meant unaligned 64bit accesses, which will be 2 reads, but those are pretty cheap since Sandy Bridge or earlier.

I also started with game development for Windows phone using XNA, switched to marmalade then Unity. Stopped creating games a few months ago thinking mostly like you plus wondering how/if my games are solving real user problems or whether they are only providing distractions.

However, searching for companies looking for developers with game development background and familiarity with Unity, I found a few startups who are either using games to fund and solve real user needs or using Unity to create educational/informative visualizations for museums and businesses. This led me to change my mind and return to creating games and hopefully start working with one of these startups
Running – A good training for Startup
This section of the "code of conduct" is extremely odd without some context:

> Our open source community prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. We will not act on complaints regarding:

> ‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’

> Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you”

> Refusal to explain or debate social justice concepts

> Communicating in a ‘tone’ you don’t find congenial

> Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions

I'd put this in the context of:

* normal people are political and can not understand a technological meritocracy

* the percentage of the github community that is black is much smaller than the percentage of the worldwide or even US population that is black

* the github community is a technological meritocracy and the problem of underrepresentation is external

* not understanding this, normal people would like to impose a political solution, and the form this solution takes is grotesque and offensive to people who do understand meritocracy

It could have been flagged by another country's system. Or there are names not on that specific list.
The 65bit packing would straddle cache boundaries, but it won't affect performance noticeably on Intel CPUs since Ivy Bridge. Packing into 61 bits without padding will do the same.

From my experience, I think compensation might be more prevalent when you are indie because you are less likely to have a stable income compared to working in a company. But I may be wrong :)

You shouldn't be worried now. You don't pay for any fraudulent charges.
This is kind of an abuse of c/c++ bitfields. Arguably you don't gain much by using them as opposed to a memory chunk and simple accessors. Bitfields are a way to get an explicit memory layout, but using them subverts word alignments, word sizes, etc...

Is there any reason you didn't just pre-process the values and use a huffman coding on them?
I'm surprised saving 4 bits made such a difference, it's about 6% smaller. But I guess that depends on how much of your memory these things are taking up. 6% of 8GB is 500 MB, which could easily be the difference between swapping and not.
So, according to this the .COM TLD server, when asked to resolve dnsimple.com, would say 'ask ns1.dnsimple.com'? That still requires resolving dnsimple.com, which seems circular. Surely the .COM TLD server would give the IP address of the authoritative name servers for the domain?
This works if you have an additional carry-on-sized bag. I probably wouldn't try it with a huge suitcase, surfboard, or anything else "special" or oversized.
Thanks. The bug has been fixed from Sandy Bridge onward, it seems.
Yep, it would.
