Can't wait to see a forum similar to XDA-developer where custom ROM's for every car will be made available and all the footnotes saying "use at your own risk" and the first 1000 people which, instead of bricking their shit android phones, will end up in the emergency room (if lucky)... Actually, I don't wanna be that cynical, I hope no sane people will use custom ROMs they don't fully trust the source at least on the engine ECU.

Open sourcing car SW (especially safety relevant) is a can full of worms. Side effects are being ignored by all these militants. If they wanna be inventive, go ahead and design their own SW from ground up (some projects exist), they will find a way to bypass tuning protection on their cars and they'll be able to run their own brain fart on their own cars, but leave the car makers out. Car makers just don't want them to do it and no body of law will ever be capable of forcing them. At most, car makers will open SW for inspecting commissions, but really low chance to do it for the public.

And to me, this is really a hangman situation. An opportunity some people/organizations have waited for some time and are really kicking VW with all force possible, especially from the US direction. But VW fucked up and they can't respond in any way. I wonder how big the fine will be compared to other incidents that actually killed people, or real mass pollution cases (petrol in the sea, etc.).

I agree with the general sentiment.

I really rather like my Nexus Player, though.
I believe you can write apps for it.
I have not tried myself, but been to some google/Android software meetups where people discussed the API and their apps.

I am not sure what kind of apps you'd want to write. i believe the media niche has been pretty well filling, Gaming, engineering/science software probably not.

> I'm also unhappy that Chromecast doesn't use USB-C yet.

Why would it need to? It only draws 1A @ 5V. That's well within what one would expect from a high-output USB2.0 or 3.0 port.

You're also not likely to be frequently removing and reattaching the power cable to the device, so who cares if there's only one way to plug it in?

Edit: Or are you talking about Displayport-over-USB-C vs. HDMI? If you are, I, too am disappointed that the CC doesn't output over DP or miniDP. Displayport->HDMI adapters are easy to come by (and one could be packed right in to the CC box), DP is technologically superior to HDMI, and its consortium is not run by a bunch of evil thugs. ;)

> Because what C++ has taught us that it's impossible to enforce restraint in a serious project[1], because the people enforcing the discipline change.

So? the language's themselves change over the time frame you are looking at. You seem to be arguing that having the language enforce it is better than policy, but name one language that's seen any serious use that hasn't seen change to add new features over the last then years, of the exact sort you are saying cause problems. So we're supposed to entrust this to a third party that really doesn't care about our specific needs. The Java standards committee doesn't know who you are. And if they do, you are not a representative case of the vast majority of Java programmers. I would rather control my future, so I choose freedom with restraint.

I'm really not buying your C++ is niche argument. C++ is one of the top 3-5 languages in the world in every metric. Java is more popular, but not being the most popular has nothing to do with being niche. C++ is still in massive use in almost every industry. That is not niche. Using C++ as your go-to example and basing your argument on having lost so much market share as to be a niche language isn't really moving the discussion along. Shops switched to Java from many languages, not just C++, and for many reasons, not just because C++ features caused problems. That argument is far too simplistic and ignores far too many things for me to give it much credence.

The new eastern span of the Bay Bridge is a similar example. They had to build a complete temporary bridge of iron girders to support the new roadway before the tower and cables were in place. (The bridge design didn't allow the tower and cables to be built first and then the roadway suspended like a conventional suspension bridge.)

This page has a good video of the combined structure and the process of shifting the roadway load from the temporary bridge to the cables:

Maybe it's because I grew up in farm country and then lived in a war-torn 'developing' national capital, but whenever I read these kinds of stories, I think, 'Yes, but do you actually want to live in a city without cars? How will your grocery stores get their shipments? Do you really want the necessary human or animal-powered commercial traffic such a city would require? And if there are ideas for alternatives, how do you get that working in existing cities? Almost every idea I've heard basically boils down turning the roadways into something more like the railways, and that just is silly.

Americans wanting cities without cars have a oddly pastoral, almost bucolic vision of their cities when the cars are removed, when the reality is something ( not entirely, but moreso ) like this : http://cdn.c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000XCAUBam7ZnI/s/850...

I'm always curious about how developers chose to package web apps like this for on-premises installation. As a VM image? An OS package? A set of OS packages (e.g. with third-party components in separate packages)? Using Docker? Something else?
Right or wrong can only be reckoned with respect to one variable: THE BOTTOM LINE. And Square Enix can make money by turning the crank and shitting out an old Final Fantasy game slapped with a fresh coat of paint, at much lower cost than doing a proper, polished remake and certainly lower than releasing a new game.

I suspect after FF7Remake Square Enix will pull out from console gaming altogether and release more "get Cloud's sword with microtransactions" style mobile farm fests.

Because that's where the money is.

The press release on that is only two months old. This phone was probably in or near final testing by then, and definitely laid out. Components like this usually take at least six months to start to flow into end devices, because of the lead time required for manufacturing complex devices.

Uh... Chromecast doesn't support USB anything. The microUSB connector on the device is just a convenient power plug form factor.

The useful life is limited by duration of security updates,
if you care about such things. Google are strictly following their recently announced 18 month/3 year rule. Eg no Stagefright update to 5.1.1 for the Nexus 7 v1 even though it was just a few months previously updated to 5.1.1

This means you probably should only buy Nexus devices when they're new to market, unless you're happy with a 18 month lifespan for your device.
Thanks a lot ckluis! From what we've seen so many times of the gap between what recruiters expect from a job applicant, and what graduates can show off after a regular school, we 100% agree with your insight. :)
My wife dropped her N5 a few weeks ago and cracked the screen (why are phones still so delicate?). We bought the new Moto G that night from Best Buy. Its pretty much a Nexus 5 but with a 720p screen instead of a 1080p screen. She loves having twice the battery life and the $179 pricepoint was mindblowing. The low and mid range in Android is very competitive. I'm not sure what this new N5 is bringing to the table other than the AOSP Nexus experience. A slightly faster SoC and maybe a little extra battery life? For $400 with tax and shipping, I'm just not seeing the hype that's been dominating /r/android for months.

$499 for a decent 6 inch phone seems like the real story here. Especially if it gets the typical Nexus price cut 6-9 months out. $449 or $399 for this could happen sooner than later, which would be an amazing deal. $499 is still really good, considering the previous N6 launched at $650. I'm surprised Samsung didn't balk at this, its pretty much a shot at their Note line which typically sells for $600+ unsubsidized. I think Google is trying hard to make phablets happen for non-techies any way they can, even to the point of pissing off their biggest OEM's. I also suspect there's some politicking here as Google is trying to groom Huawei to go after Samsung's massive marketshare. Samsung being the defacto Android product isn't good for Google or Android.

For me anemic model is much more natural and easy to use. Object-Oriented Programming is not a good approach to a general architecture. It has its place in some layers, e.g. GUI API usually can be successfully modeled with OOP, but otherwise just use modular procedural approach and use object-oriented constructs very conservatively, unless it fits naturally. That's the best approach for me and it works flawlessly. Of course Functional Programming, Logic Programming has its place too, thanks to modern languages like Scala, where you don't have to choose the only one paradigm.
BTC adds too many layers of complications at which point the issues with exchange in these small local market systems might as well acquire normal tangible currency like Dollars or Euros. And very few people want to trade food, tires, or liquid assets for currency because currency, be it BTC, Euro, Dollar or gold, seems worthless compared to the food or tires.

The main issue BTC and Euros can't solve in these situations is the prerequisite of acquiring the money units to begin with in order to facilitate the exchanges and local economy - thus the reason why the swap meets were using TEMs which facilitated a form of debt and exchange medium.

This is actually sort of called out in the comments on the post, but I think it bears saying again in my own way.

It's deeply disingenuous to compare effortless biologically-determined learning to effortful general learning and think you can apply lessons from one to the other. Even in the example the OP picked, there's a reason that the learners drill the adjective order table, and it's because without the drill they will never learn it at all. Learning a language as a small child is a different process than learning the same language as a late teen or adult, and the results are very different. (Even so, I wouldn't bother instructing people in adjective order... if they do never learn it, it's no big loss.)

On a different, more technical note, OP doesn't quite understand what's going on in the example either. "Vietnamese spicy food" is perfectly standard English; the ordering there is determined by context. "Vietnamese spicy food" is a subset of spicy food, and will be used whenever it's being contrasted with other spicy food, whereas spicy Vietnamese food is a subset of Vietnamese food, and will be used whenever a contrast is drawn between spicy Vietnamese food and other Vietnamese food. (It's correct, however, that in the zero-context case, "spicy Vietnamese food" is preferred. In my analysis, that's more because people are likely to reify the concept of "Vietnamese food", which makes the phrase structure ("spicy" [adj] "Vietnamese food" [noun]) rather than ("spicy" [adj] "Vietnamese" [adj] "food" [noun]).)

Right, and to extend that, caucus leadership positions are generally assumed to be given to members with very secure seats, so them getting unseated in any circumstance is considered surprising.

(Though, really, it might be reasonable to suspect that they are generally more vulnerable to primary than general election challenges, unlike most members -- they are generally people whose seats are secure for the party, because that means that they aren't likely to be forced compromise the party's interests for their own electoral prospects, making them more attractive as leaders. But the same effect means that they can be more vulnerable to fragmentation within the party.)

I think more important than resurrecting posts from people who have squandered their privileges are we need to allow for better and more convenient browsing of comments, so that we can let the best ones shine.

1) native folding of comments, like reddit. I don't understand why this doesn't exist yet, and is the single more important thing to going through the comment list effectively.

2) better algos for upvoting and downvoting comments and threads entirely. This is something that reddit is absolutely great at, the top comments on reddit are generally the best or funniest, depending on the context. The top comments here are generally the first ones posted, or the ones from people already with high karma, and thus either the fast or the already-karma-advantaged get more karma.

well, put a number on it. Of the "Device request" class, clearly at least some of them really are stolen. So that can't be zero. In fact, I'd bet the vast majority of those claims are indeed stolen phones.

I'll give you P(spy) = .01, which feels plausible, around 140 incidents, but we have zero evidence. For something like P(spy) = .1, 1400 requests, I'd want more evidence. It dosn't need to be particularly good evidence, because i don't hold the NSA side to be particularly good.

Exactly that kind of single by single digit mental multiplication is useful how in computer science?

I do have some difficulty coming up the answer to 7 x 8: I have to work that out from 8x8. This takes a couple of seconds, tops. Assuming one can still understands how multiplication work and can actually find a correct answer in a matter of seconds, or maybe tens of seconds (and a pencil and paper), that's really quite enough. (edit. If you meant that students can't come up with the correct answer at all, okay, then you have problem, but that seems quite improbable so I assume you meant 'remember instantly'.)

As a CS major, things I work with include proofs, set theory, mathematical logic, or even abstract algebra (and here the important thing to realize about multiplication is how it relates to addition and taking powers and how that can be generalized or abstracted), and most importantly, everything resembles general abstract mathematical problem solving, not memorizing multiplication tables. Even within realm of basic arithmetic, the idea of logarithms (and some familiarity with the powers of 2) is far more useful, and that's more of the abstract concept side of it (edit. okay, some general feeling of logarithms helps, too).

I feel positive about any mathematical education that tries to train those important skills and at the same time portray mathematics as an art of exact reasoning, not just rote memorization.
