Oculus are committed to high fps/low latency (the displays are 90 Hz with low persistence) experience and won't settle with anything less. You get stuff like timewarp [1] and other technical solutions that reduce latency and provide an accurate and smooth experience.

I have never worked at a place were that wasn't the case for higher management. In some places that was 90% of what management did (ie. 100% of what was visible to reports plus more that wasn't even directly visible), in some places it was 30% or so (ie. 50% of what was visible to reports).

But I've never been at a place where turning the wheel (a -> b -> c -> a) wasn't a big part of what management did.

I agree that fame should not be a sole qualifying attribute for getting on the front page here, but I think fame can be a qualifying factor, if used appropriately. That is, if a person is famous for being prescient in items relevant to the post, or if they are well known or respected in that sphere, that can help carry some legitimacy to their views to those that aren't entirely capable of assessing the merits of the argument, and would rather not spend time researching claims from someone that turns out to be a rambling idiot.

There are also pieces by those famous that are less arguments, and more calls to action, in which the person't fame, or reputation, helps push the message, and as such it can be factored in as part of the message. It becomes useful for assessing how widespread the reach of the message will be. E.g. Brad Pitt speaking our against a social injustice vs Kim Kardashian commenting on fiscal policy. In one the fame helps spread the message (even if it doesn't, or at least shouldn't change the merits of the message itself), in the other the fame is irrelevant.

For Stross, he's a fairly famous hard Science Fiction author, he's commented on the future and fiscal issues before, and has written books regarding interstellar money systems (haven't read yet) and possible problems with them. His fame in this area makes me want to see what he has to say, we'll see if I agree after I finish reading it...

Yeah, you could easily think you were looking at Github. I think it would be polite of them to change it a little bit more. Also, while it's natural for them to want to have a link to their Github account in the header of their site, as it is now (in combination with the extremely similar look) it almost makes them look like they are affiliated with Github.
I like that tactic. I will steal it.

In a similar vein, I like to take a break if possible, before a larger commit, then come back to it and see if I should refactor first.

Two benefits of this are (1) a fresh mind to see what you might have missed especially since when I'm done with a piece of functionality I often just want to commit it and move (2) it gets me back in the flow of development quickly.

GitHub was not wrong to do this. Gitbucket's UI is confusingly similar to GitHub's so I have no qualms with the actions taken. The good thing is that they took a reasonable approach to this.
> "It was saying GitHub does not allow to clone..."

One of the things they did not clone from GitHub is well written prose. GitHub's blog posts are always well written and enjoyable to read.
They do, but static linking means the developer actually does have control of the environment. What happens if you ship the latest and greatest binary but the shared libraries aren't updated by the user?
Yeah, we should have some kind of central authority figure to just make the right decisions instead of wasting all this time and effort on debate. What could go wrong?
Quite satisfying to see somebody decry the elite's IQism (something both the right and the left are guilty of), insult Trump and his voters, and call the mob out for the chimpanzee-like pleasure they partake in.

I don't think he can change anybody's mind by telling them he cannot be racist because he doesn't believe intellect makes somebody a better person. (1.) How do we know he's really telling the truth and it's not just sophistry? (2.) Beliefs that are tied to self-esteem are difficult to undo, and a belief in human neurological uniformity (HNU) is often helpful when you do not want to be thought of as racist, yet wish to allow yourself feelings of intellectual superiority.

I've found it very interesting to watch people come out and say what they really think. For example, the CTO of NPM recently tweeted "This is like when we made Eich quit Mozilla. There are views we have decided are unacceptable and we will ostracize you for having them." [0]

After all of the activism for 'safety' and 'codes of conduct', I did not expect to see people finally admit that it's really about about the right to be employed or have an audience if you are to hold or have held 'bad' beliefs.

Still, it may well be the case that everybody that has been de-platformed or fired over the past decade has deserved it, or that certain people must be purged in order for us to maintain a public square that is acceptable for minorities. Even if it is for the greater good, I still hope that those with political power will come to reflect on their actions and evaluate the harms that they might have inadvertently caused others. Ultimately very few people believe themselves to be evil and deserving of punishment. And if one day a mistake is made and the wrong person is thrown under the bus, a lack of remorse or responsibility will not be seen as endearing.

What a useless fluff piece. No data, nothing substantive, the fact that he actually uses 'alpha males' vs 'beta males' as a point of discussion is laughable.

Donald Trump is a scary man indeed and his supporters moreso. But he has MASSIVE (or should I say, yuge) hurdles to overcome the least of which is that the party he is running with hates him and he has low appeal outside of white people.
Not in a "supported" way. If it's anything like Ubuntu on phones, it will be a read-only filesystem with image-based updates. apt is available, but only if you remount the system read-write (you do have root via sudo). If you do that, then you can't use image-based updates any more, since that'll stomp over your changes.

I'm in favour of this arrangement, since I think it's the only way to get updates to work reliably, and I think that's essential. Android and iOS also do it this way, for example. But don't expect a traditional Linux-based desktop but on a tablet, since that's not what you'll get.

On the other hand, if you package up nginx, redis, Atom.io, postgres etc. via Ubuntu's app store, then sure.
as far as it affects me, it does not matter if they're pretending or born that way. Still a pain in the ass. Anyways, that my comment was a little more reddit than HN. I'll try and stay on topic.

I don't your employer can characterize your entire life as 'work hours'. Do you log what time you work for them (you should)?

It also might be relevant to ask, if your side project has anything to do with your job or what you do for them. If it's completely unrelated, I think that would also think that would help.
I think it's kind of funny they start out by saying:

I would never think of playing the lottery or engaging in any other form of gambling because I understand the odds are always in favor of the house. I understand that I'm going to lose money. What a terrible irony that we fund public education with a lottery that relies on participation by those who don't understand basic math?

But I see this as part of a larger trend of preying on the poor. Watching far-right media, I see poor people being told to invest heavily in gold, reverse mortgages, guns, and raging them up into sending all their money to political organizations whose sole purpose is to take money from the angry. And there are plenty of examples on the left as well (people investing in college degrees for the sake of college degrees without any idea if their field of study is a good investment or not). I don't know how we break these cycles and inspire low-income American citizens to temper their emotions and rationally invest in their futures.
I'm far from having any real legal knowledge on the matter, but I suppose copying the look and feel is different from looking so much the same that people might miss that they are two different projects. There are probably also some difuse border between look and feel and branding.

>$2200 in a PC and a Rift, or $100 that clips on your phone (assuming you're on Samsung)?

Your figures are a little off. A rift is (all following figures in USD) $599, and a computer that will support it is generally quoted at $950, making it's package price $1550. You can buy bundles that include a Rift and an Oculus ready PC for $1499[1].

The gear VR only works with very recent phones, and only works on all games without heat problems on the S7. S7's are generally quoted at $700, making the package price $800.

Rough figures, I know, but yours are well out of whack.

Bing is pretty good for the casual searchers. Bing's design is also much more mature than that of Google's (for ex', my wife loves Bing images and looks forward to seeing what's new on each day).
I find that rule to be really weird in general. Does that mean that, for example, if you try to use "1 << 32" in a constant expression, then whether it's actually a constant expression will depend on the target architecture? I wonder what the rationale is there.

Yes, that's right. The rationale is that it's not particularly different from the way constant expressions in C have always worked: The compiler knows full well whether

static const int x = 99999999999;

or

static const int x = 1 << 32;

represents a valid assignment within the range of int on the target platform, and responds accordingly. constexpr just generalizes that behavior to more of the expression machinery.

Apple has an obligation as a financial institution to win this case. Apple is a business, and it has customers who won't want to buy phones which they know are purposefully compromised from a security standpoint. In addition, those customers don't want to buy phones for which the US government has unlimited access to. Apple has a financial interest to keep their devices as secure as possible and act in the interests of their customers, the ones who drive their business.
Not really. I wish most GUIs would be the same if they are offered for pretty much the same functionality, like searching for hotels or flights. Too bad to see the smaller is giving up the good fight. Last thing I would care is someone takes my GUI -- only means I designed something extremely useful in the first place. Go ahead! Duplicate for everyone's benefit.

And notice they said its a good first start. This will get similar to Apple having issues with corner's curve of Samsung devices... never enough curved to actually not remind of Apple's products.

Having used Go for some time now, and suspect that this attitude is a reflection of 'The Go Authors' and documentation.

Although it's described as a systems language, it glosses over many low level details. The 'atomic' package says 'These functions require great care to be used correctly.' In attempting to find out what care is required, I ultimately discovered that the authors couldn't agree on how to express how to define its operation.

When used for applications and running into shortcomings, the response is that it's not meant for that. The takeaway is that Go hits a spot between low-level systems programming and applications.

I think you're missing my point. I want it. I'm the early adopter. I don't want Google Cardboard, I want HTC Vive. But the price of the full setup right now is going through the roof. I'd be interested to see how much people are spending on average.
Really big mistake to not ship with motion controllers; you feel like you are "at" the game rather than the "in" the game you feel with Vive.
You do run into false dependencies causing needless headaches with dynamic libraries though. There's a vulnerability in hash X in OpenSSL. One (or worse zero) of my 15 installed applications that depend on OpenSSL actually uses hash X, but in order to upgrade, I have to carefully manage those 15 dependencies. With statically linked dependencies, the hash X code wouldn't be in any of the other binaries and I only update the one (or perhaps don't have to update at all).
VR is interesting for a lot more than just games.
You seriously overestimate "driver optimization" importance for modern games. Optimizations are of course important, but in most of cases it's not more than 5-10%.

For instance Nvidia proprietary driver without any special optimizations can easily achieve 50-80% of Windows performance depend on game in Wine which translates D3D9 API calls into OpenGL.

There is also Gallium3D Nine state tracker that usable on AMD open source drivers which is implement D3D9 natively on Linux. It's can easily achieve 80-95% performance in some cases and this is with very limited number of developers.

Where does the rest of the money that's lent out come from? If you deposit $100 and the bank can, based on that deposit, lend out $1000 (assuming a 10% reserve requirement, which is fairly typical), where does the other $900 come from?

Thoughts on Building Weatherproof Companies
It is a violation of GitHub's ToS. GitBucket is hosted on GitHub.
Honestly comments like these further discredit the Windows-development-community in my view.

First, a quick rant.
You talk about "great tooling," and by this (I fear) you mean Visual Studio? Good libraries, by this you mean things like System.Foo.Bar.BazQux()? A "decent core language," by that you mean a pretty blatant knock-off of Java (which is an overly-bloated language in its own right)? And by "can do OOP" you mean must do, since the language forces you to embrace the paradigm? "Functional?" Without real first-class functions: without closures?

Generics? Fair point. Golang is lacking in that regard, at least for now.

But let me address the key misconception in your comment. You mention "sexiness," which in your mind is some sort of pointless quality. Here's what you're missing: biologically, we interpret sexiness as an indication of fertility. Good tools and languages aren't good because they're sexy, they're sexy because they're good. The ability to perceive, expect and demand this sexiness from tools is nothing more than a veiled desire to work in the most effective possible way. That's why people love Unix and hate Windows. That's why they leave languages like Java, C#, and C++ for Python and Go; and some (who I admire) use Haskell. It's not about elitism, the elitism is merely a by-product: the fundamental issue here is greediness, and the strength of one's desire to be as efficient as possible.
