Hardware acceleration is a broad term used to describe different things and implementation quality still matters (i.e. does it do everything from format decoding to color conversion, scaling, compositing, etc. and are any individual steps combined?).

Every time I've done that comparison, Flash has used significantly more CPU for the same file. It's possible that they've finally managed to get close on the right combination of hardware, OS, and driver versions but given how regularly I still see people talking about huge improvements after uninstalling Flash, I'm skeptical that this is the most common experience.

Similarly, hardware acceleration was not a given in the past and since there's still plenty of buggy hardware and drivers out there, both Flash and all major browsers have software playback paths and there's even more room for variation there. It's not as bad as when people were comparing Flash's scalar code to Apple's well-optimized SIMD but if you disable hardware acceleration you can still see major deltas because Adobe was never willing to invest the same amount of effort in optimization. This hit Flash more because there were design constraints which caused it to silently disable HW acceleration and developers using fast desktops often didn't notice that happening.

Flash was never better than the native AV frameworks on Windows or OS X. What it offered was convenience during the period when you couldn't rely on everyone having support for a modern video codec and, of course, being able to do things other than simply play back a video file.

The size is primarily due to Electron, Nimble's backbone. Unfortunately, a large portion of Nimble's size is due to to Electron, and there's not a whole lot we can do about that aside from shifting the project to a completely different framework, rebuilding Nimble from the ground up. Although this is true, we're still doing everything we can to bring the size down.

I think you're reaching quite a bit with this comment.

The people who drafted the constitution actually pushed for a Federal government that was larger far more powerful than the previous Articles of Confederation did. And they continued set up precedents while they were in office for a larger and more unified government than many of the States likely expected. They also recognized that a modern Democracy was a bit of an experiment compared to the rest of the world and were unable/unwilling to make it too large too soon.

And most of U.S. history seems to agree with this approach and it shows that a large open government is less likely to be abused than a small government which can be captured and rigged by a few groups or even individuals. It's the separation of powers between branches of the government, more than the size and powers of the Feds vs. the States that helps to limit the chance for dictatorship.
I really can't believe how bad it is (on iOS at least).

Many are snake oil or overhyped, but it's generally accepted by professionals that a proper IDS or IPS appliance is helpful as an additional layer. Those alone aren't nearly sufficient; many many layers are required. But they do add value.

You could make the same argument about anti-virus (IDS is really just network anti-virus), and while it's true, it's also true that it's a good idea to put AV on all your endpoints.
That's exactly why I used the awkward phrase "no additional cost" rather than "free." Even if I hadn't chosen my words carefully, "delusion" would be a strong word for attacking something that I didn't explicitly claim.

Kotaku has a round up of related tweets and postings:

I don't want this to sound like a snarky "Oh [some company the Twiteratti thinks is lame] is still around?" comment, but I truly had thought GT was dead, because of its notable layoff announcements in recent years:

But looks like this really is GT's epitaph; this forum post dated today comes from GT's associate editor (according to Kotaku), and alludes to this being a sudden development:

I don't understand why so many people use Gulp and file-system watchers during development. You have a web server, why not use it?

In our apps, when you request /app.js or /app.css or whatever, it goes through the tools (Browserify and SASS in our case) and delivers the transpiled versions on the fly.

We use a little NPM package called Staticr [1] to declare the pipelines so that the on-the-fly version used during development is identical to the production-time one. In production, we simply run Staticr against the pipelines, which produces the necessary minified files.

If you're looking to make it native with offline support, there's one feature that I think would get you a ton of traction among developers. Use a git/mercurial branch as the underlying storage mechanism. Being able to clone a repo and get the full issue tracking history would be pretty cool and a storage mechanism with offline and built-in audit tracking is a non-trivial part of the problem, so using something that's as proven as the major DVCSs are would help make solving that issue easier.

But more importantly, it's a hook. It's what would differentiate you from other issue trackers. It's distributed issue tracking that allows you to take advantage of all the infrastructure that's been built up around the underlying DVCSs. Right off the bat, you have a reason for your project to exist.

Good question. I'm going to see how well this works as part of the standard library, since it would have to allocate memory.

And then operations like append or resize could return an error (since memory allocation can fail), and I want to make sure the semantics for that are reasonable.

That and a Map data structure I want to make sure have convenient semantics since these primitives are used in many software applications.
It's almost as if everyone wants to see a crash.

It's funny how crashes are almost psychological play at times. I hate "yo" as much as the next guy, but the pain of seeing a significant depreciation in wages for anyone far out weighs the joy I'd see from having my "gut feelings" about a bubble being proved right.
I agree so much on this. ES2015 is a YAGN not a crucial feature. It's not because you can that you should!
The most simple and flexible way I have found for a setup is Webpack without any of the fancy stuff. Really small configuration file, only support CommonJS modules and CSS imports. Everything else has proven to be unnecessary sugar in my experience.

I do use ES2015 in CLI apps though. Just make sure to lock the Node.js engine at version 4 in the manifest file.
Even with the problems, I still prefer OS X to anything else. Apple claims a higher standard, and everyone wants to hold them to it. They're falling short of their standard, but they're falling to a higher point than the alternatives IMO.

The problem with Webpack IMO is that it kinda feels like Grunt sometimes where you find yourself editing a giant nested config.

This is not very smart political thinking, but great for making an entertaining argument on the Internet. Other than ISIS, none of the movements you listed could be considered revolutionary in terms of actually changing forms of government.

1. Occupy Wall Street was about the financial crisis in '08. People were angry that the banks got bailed out and everyone else just got (arguably) left out. It went away when the economy finally improved, though there is still enough anger to fuel at least one Presidential campaign.

2. Feminism is about equal jobs and rights for women (including in politics). While I'm sure some of the men had ulterior motives, alot more of them probably just listened to what the women were actually saying and realized that they had a point. Why should half the population be treated worse than the other half? All of your other complaints about a "pro-victim" academic curriculum, or whatever you're trying to say here, are just nonsense. Academics have always been weird. The politics behind universities are also weird, but ultimately small stakes and hardly "revolutionary". People don't face down the police and the army because their college doesn't have the right sort of Women's studies program.

3. BLM is about one segment of the population being prosecuted, hurt, and killed by police more than any other group of people. "Stop shooting us" is a powerful message, especially when it's backed up by numbers and video, but it's not revolutionary. I would also add that the problem has been made worse by the Drug war and the prison-industrial complex so what's surprising is that it hasn't happened sooner and with more people backing it.

4. Trump just wants to be President. His supporters are basically the anti-Occupy Wall Street crowd. They're angry about job prospects (especially since 2008), but they blame immigrants and Democrats (+ NAFTA, GATT, etc.) rather than rich bankers. It's not something we've seen at this level since the 1900s or earlier, but it's not new and they don't really seem to want to change anything politically with the way government works.

TL;DR: your thesis doesn't seem to hold up once you examine why each movement exists and what it's trying to do. Other than ISIS, but basically they're just Saddam Hussein's old posse with some new faces.

US Naval Observatory - http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/ptti/1996papers/Vol%2028_16.pdf

That's a paper from 1996, which is actually discussing relativistic effects in GPS receivers, which you might encounter in high speed aircraft, or satellites communicating with each other.

20 years ago, the author writes: "There
is a very good reason for the omission: the effects of relativity, where they are different from
the effects predicted by classical mechanics and electromagnetic theory, are too small to matter
- less than one centimeter, for users on or near the earth. However, a new class of users, who
employ satellites that obtain time and position in space from GPS, cannot be satisfied with
the approximations in the current OCS."

That paper is interesting mostly because it's the basis of the Conservapedia article on why the theory of relativity is wrong: http://www.conservapedia.com/Theory_of_relativity#Lack_of_ev...

Cars used to be fun. Car companies used to encourage the enthusiast culture. Enthusiast culture has changed to mostly rich kids showing off the Beamer their parents bought them. very few actually do their own work.

Nowadays, cars are more expensive. Insurance is mandatory. Owners are discouraged from doing their own maintenance. Commuting to work only gets worse over time. And, to add insult to injury, gas prices still suck despite oil prices being the lowest they have been in decades.

All of the things that made car ownership fun for young guys is discouraged by manufacturers because they've shifted their profit models to depend heavily on long-term service/maintenance.

If I move close to a city any time soon the first thing I plan to do is get rid of my car. at this point it's just an expensive burden.
