It's not going to happen. I lost my article that clearly explains it but let me summarize. Every company that tried to challenge FPGA's or the Big Two went bankrupt or were acquired. The survivors are niche players who might be acquired or go bankrupt at some point. Another one, Tabula, just announced they'd be shutting down. This is an insanely tough market to get into and stay in.

The article explained the reasons were two: I.P. and tooling. Short version for I.P. is there's all kinds of stuff integrated with FPGA's on many nodes efficiently and you'll always have less due to less cash. Far as tooling, vast majority of Big Two's expenses are on R&D for EDA tools like HLS and logic synthesis. That's the hard part that took them a decade or more to get working enough to be usable as an ASIC alternative or easier to pick up for new HW engineers. You can't just duplicate FPGA HW: you need EDA tools to map hardware designs efficiently and correctly to that HW.

The I.P. problem is tolerable but the EDA problem isn't. There are academic tools to draw on and Mentor even has an FPGA tool that can be re-targeted. Yet, Xilinx and Altera give away most of their tooling free with best stuff dirt cheap compared to six digit EDA tools. The new contender must have FPGA, onboard I.P., and EDA tool that's just as effective despite lacking years & hundreds of millions in R&D. Just ain't happening. So, the focus has to be on niches Xilinx and Altera haven't conquered yet.

Now, I do have several business models I'm tweaking that might allow for a new, OSS FPGA and toolchain with both non-profit and commercial strategies. But you basically need big players individually or in combination willing to loose millions each year to support R&D on it. There's also a few firms that short-cut developments whose tools would help a lot. The effort could acquire them. So, there's possibilities but it will be a niche, unprofitable market regardless.
This is a sign that Facebook is in trouble. More and more people are fed up with its slow UI and are moving elsewhere, and increasingly to Telegram.
Not a direct photoshop replacement, but for specific photo editing of RAW photos, have you tried darktable? (http://www.darktable.org/)

It's not as good as Lightroom, but I'd say it's 80% of the way there, and you can replicate some of the missing functionality with other applications.
> Isn't this just an extreme safe-space for Christianity? It's exactly what they're arguing against, but backs up their worldview so it's not an issue.

Well, a good solid Christian university isn't really a safe space; you should have a lot of theology and church history that you didn't know about taught - it will (should, heh) force a reexamination of what you claim you believe (as an aside, the summary is that the bog standard teachings from most churches only scratch the surface of what is actually there; reality is harder and more challenging than the milquetoast that is commonly taught).

That said, it's fair to say that if a 'feminist' university existed, going in and complaining that your male feelings were hurt should get you the same response, mutis mutandi. Like another posted stated: this university does what's on the tin. If you or your parents don't like it, you shouldn't attend.
> "Platform integration is impossible, which means there is no way for the framework, for example, to create widgets differently on OS X, Windows or Linux (these platforms have many different conventions)"

So web apps can't have reusable components now?

> "And having access to all the latest JS additions! ... that were copied from other languages you could develop desktop apps in, because JS is a terrible hack."

WebAssembly will take over for web apps eventually.

> "decades of UX knowledge thrown out of the window"

UX knowledge isn't toolkit dependent, UX knowledge is just as applicable on the web. You can make a dog of an app with any toolkit, native toolkits offer no guarantees for good UX, you can only hope that designers choose to follow best practices.
LD_PRELOAD and LD_AUDIT are the features of the dynamic linker or ld.so. The dynamic linker is a process to read an executable and DSOs in memory, fix up images in memory to make it really ready to be executed by a CPU. lld is a linker which creates executable or DSO files. That is different from the dynamic linker.

As a year-deep front end developer, I have recently taken a strong interest in functional programming principles and am trying to learn their use-cases.

Does anyone have ideas for small projects I can complete that will really drive home the importance/benefits of functional programming?
heya if you are talking about communicating with a woman - or rather feminine energy - sometimes it can be even easier than that! 95% - 99% of the time, feminine energy works out its problems through saying them out loud and being heard. (Masculine energy works out its problems by pondering in a man cave).

So often, all you have to do is keep your lips closed and listen. It can be hard, but that's the way it works, by sometimes introducing an uncomfortable air. Your calm, attentive, silent response to the discomfort is how the energy is resolved. Shortly after the discomfort, you'll feel a mood change and when she says, "Thank you for listening!!" you'll often get a big hug. I sincerely hope this helps you and everyone else big time.
Show HN: App Builders – A conference for mobile developers in Europe's heart
I am very proud to announce we are organising a conference in Zürich about mobile technologies and the last trends of the industry.

We are working to bring the most influentials and talented developers in Zürich for a 2 days of immersive and valuable talks about Google and Apple technologies.

We've had almost 5 decades to make renewable energy cheaper than coal. We've been trying since the energy crisis of the 1970s.

Nuclear, solar, wind, etc. It seems unfair that a billion people remain uneducated and in poverty because a small percentage of the world's population refused to make the necessary changes. Before there was Al Gore, there was Carl Sagan:

http://youtu.be/G_3pZXhKVWY
Exactly. Even Pixar movies follow this approach.

And so the trick is to not just throw an idea out because it doesn't stand up to some immediate scrutiny, but to try and defend it just a little bit more than you would normally do.

Most great ideas start out as really bad ones.
Fair enough.

What then does "Integration of the Biblical Principles into life sciences" mean?

I'm not really sure how you can read the history of the organization and come up with that. al-Tawid was founded at around the same time as al Qaeda (within a few years), and they merged to become al Qaeda in Iraq and then ISIS/ISIL.

In some ways the person I was responding to was right because, between Osama and al Zarqawi, Osama was definitely the moderate. But you're talking about wanting to kill everyone who isn't a muslim vs. everyone who isn't sunni muslim.

The idea that ISIS is something fundamentally different is driven by the media. It's sort of how DARE tries to scare parents by saying "This generation is smoking some really crazy stuff you're not familiar with!"
Well, for one it appears to be based on an entirely different game. Not sure where to go from here to continue answering your question.
No, it's more like the micro-code. The RTL that matches their LUT's, etc are the opcodes. There's already academic and open tools targeting those. They just suck compared to proprietary ones because every aspect of EDA (even FPGA's) is Mega-Hard to do.
totally! however US and Canada are big w/ relatively small populations. People can move around, they can adjust. India doesn't have the same luxury
There aren't many serious alternatives to Thunderbird. I think that the project falls squarely within Mozilla's mission statement: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/details/

Most of their reasoning about this decision revolves around it being a distraction from Firefox. Maybe they should update the manifesto to put web browsing as goal #1. As it stands, it talks about the Internet, but the WWW is clearly their priority.
More bureaucracy. If they really wanted to decrease sugar usage, they could require poison labels on fruits, and any product with more than 5 grams of sugar, as well as any ads for these products.
AirBnB needs to make sure you are not undermining it by making the deal outside of their system ... b/c then they don't get a provision for it. So I'd say it's fine in this case. AirBnB is no medium where free speech is a significant concept.
> there's no way I'd stay on a system that wouldn't allow me to do what I want with it.

But there's a big difference between allowing you to do something and allowing you to not change the way you do something.

I was going to sign up for this, but I've started to read the Terms and Conditions and just lost the will to live. Given how comprehensive they are, I'm not willing to agree to something I've not read, and I'm not going to read over 4300 words.

Not worth my time.
That's not true. Apple issued a new root certificate using the latest OpenSSL standard. The apps that "expired" were using an out-of-date version. They technically shouldn't have worked in the first place, but Apple kept renewing the old SHA-1 certificate alongside the current one which allowed these apps to validate, despite using a cert that was obsolete since 2005.
I personally use mu4e. If you've tried it a year or so ago, it has made many improvements since then. It is terminal based, but I find I can't use thunderbird any more after switching.
True. It's only an editor. That's why I brought up Atom and Brackets. Neither of them are slow per se, but they don't feel as instantaneous as Sublime Text. No matter how many plugins I throw in there, the size of my project, the number of files open, ST always feels like the most responsive thing I've ever used.

I don't have any objective data, but perhaps it's due to the Kool-aid. It was the second text editor I used (Notepad++ being the first). I fell in love immediately.
I technically have no issue with it, but the pronunciation will be confusing:

"I met mix Sam at the shop, and we picked up some pancake mix."

Mx is a fine way to spell it, but not a fine way to say it. May be one of these we have to spell out, as in:

"I met M.X. Sam at the shop, and we picked up some pancake mix."

Although now it seems unnatural since you're over-emphasising the lack of gender (as opposed to simply just saying it).

Also, as an aside, isn't a lack of Mr or Mrs/Miss/whatever kind of accomplishing the same thing e.g.:

"I met Sam at the shop, and we picked up some pancake mix."

No gender mentioned, and no awkwardness of how to say "Mx."
Agreed. The parent was making a fairly disingenuous comparison.
Not entirely sure what all you're getting at, but you don't find conservatives running around offended that you said "estate tax" instead of "death tax" or, more importantly, trying to make others use their preferred euphemism.

Having said that, I fully admit there may be a few phrases that conservatives might be a bit sensitive to, but it would surely be a very short list.
The word "proposed" elides quite a bit. It seems clear that they are "teaching the controversy," which is just another way of teaching creationism.

While I think we are on the same page (I did say XML has strength and weaknesses) I think XML is undervalued for a configuration language particularly if the configuration language is to be modified by another application or script.

The reason a markup language like XML is actually sort of useful for a configuration is that spacing and comments can be preserved on modification. That is if I modify the XML manually and then modify it with a script (assuming the script is written correctly) I can preserve my formatting and my comments. As far as I understand such is not the case with many formats (I suppose YAML would be the exception albeit I'm not sure if it preserves white space other than the required whitespace).

I have actually had this use come up. I had 20 or so Maven POM files that I had to modify/refactor. It was fairly easy to do because it was XML all while preserving the formatting and comments.

With the exception of massively complex configuration (aka Ansible) I really don't think most users (particularly non-techy) care that XML is slightly more verbose than YAML. Particularly since configuration is not modified that often and again its like HTML (although HTML is a failure technology wise it is ubiquitous).

As for serialization... XML is bad... I can't come up with any devils advocation for that.

Initial software based Multics had 64 rings, and as I recall only 8 in the hardware versions. No more than 4 were needed in practice: 0 for root, 1 for mail (e.g. you could delete mail you'd sent to other people from their mailboxes if they'd not read it yet), 4 for normal users, and 5 for some stuff that e.g. allowed anyone to use, but was restricted at touching anything deeper in the system.

AMD dropped rings in their 64 bit architecture which Intel was forced to adopt, so they're becoming a historical curiosity.

This is an extraordinarily bad precedent. Facebook has traditionally bought companies that it felt were competitive threats (Instagram, Whatsapp, etc) even though a significant percentage of their growth came from shares on Facebook products. It now appears that they will deal with competitors by crushing their ability to grow.

Of course, they are going to say that this is because of Telegram's links to terrorism. But any secure messenger can be used by bad actors, so that same excuse could be used for the wholesale blocking of all competing messengers. This is clearly anticompetitive behavior.
The latest Photoshop on Linux is quite attainable; I have CC running smoothly via VMWare Worksation 12 / Windows 7 (new versions of VMWare have DirectX/OpenGL and let you allocate GPU memory)

... but unfortunately that combines 2 proprietary solutions so guess it doesn't exactly fit your criteria.
Playing devil's advocate: WhatsApp is a $22B investment. It makes sense to try to prevent it from being canabalized from the inside.

We've seen something like this before, when AIM allowed MSN Messenger to interoperate. I know this is a little different, but that was still how AIM lost.

Here is a fantastic war story from one of the MSN engineers on the battle to subvert AIM [1].

Forget Elf on the Shelf: Worry about Hello Barbie, actual child surveillance toy
https://www.toytalk.com/hellobarbie/privacy/

Search for 'research' or 'data analysis'.

At a bare minimum, Mattel now has a 'focus group' of every child they have successfully sold to. And they will use the data gathered to help them sell more Barbies. Possibly by making better Barbies. (But more likely by learning how to manipulate children into wanting more Barbies.)

Maybe Elf on the Shelf 'prepares children for the surveillance state.' but Hello Barbie makes them actually live in one?
Which makes them not really third party browsers anymore, they're basically frames around a UIWebView (which is Safari) which can't do anything interesting.
I already responded to you in another thread here, but this isn't true. The apps wouldn't launch because they were using an old, outdated version of OpenSSL that's been updated since 2005. They were referencing an old, out of date root certificate, not the current one.
If you are talking about archive files (.a files), then the answer is yes. lld is not sensitive to the order of archive files in the command line. For any undefined symbol, if there exists a file that defined the symbol, the file gets linked no matter how files are ordered.

The "red cup controversy" wasn't "alive and well in modern Christianity" as there was no actual outrage about the cup, only self-congratulatory outrage by others against the presumed & imputed anti-red-cup outrage which didn't actually exist. What's telling is how many people were quick to sneer at a group for doing something they didn't do.
Not to me, I think it looks like "proposed" is a side-stepping phrasing that replaces a perfectly reasonable one like "established" because, at the core, Evolution does not cross-pollenate with Creation. It's simply a scientific observation codified into an accepted understanding of nature. To juxtapose the two - Evolution and Creation - is inherently suspect.

Imagine what it is like to be a male, which per CDC reports have an almost equal chance to be raped within the last year as a woman, but who no one takes the assault serious even when you have significant evidence. Imagine what it is like when even the CDC report, from an official government agency, decides to specify a definition of rape that purposefully excludes you, and then leaves that fact out of the summary.

We can play this game, but I'm pretty sure there are no winners.
Exactly. Vanilla JS (and JQuery and friends) have the semantics of mutating a tree (the DOM) in-place. A key differentiator of these functional libraries is the immutable data structure semantics.
