The key difference here is a single word in the VOX article: installed solar.

The 40cents/watt in Bloomberg article is just the panel (because it's an article about costs of producing panels). This would mean even if the price of a panel dropped to $0.01/watt you'd still need $2.60 per watt to install it on your roof.

That's why the VOX article in the next sentence says

> Current approaches to cutting costs won't necessarily get us there. We may need experimental new technologies. Or novel ways of integrating solar into our walls and windows. Or robot installers.

Treating callbacks as monads is literally the definition of promises. If that code does the same thing it did in 2011 when I last looked at livescript, that's not treating callbacks as monads, thats just borrowing a syntax that Haskell uses for monads and using it for callbacks.
The only debunking I've seen is putting a spinning tire down in optimal conditions, which of course has it spinning like it did in the video. The video has the bike bouncing off the ground several times and coming to a complete stop on the ground in the rider's hands, and then him letting go and it spinning away. At that point, the tire should have stopped all of it's rotational inertia.
Curious if it is difficult to develop applications on top of notes.

Perhaps you shouldn't try excusing such behavior with definition arguments? If you don't like the term xenophobic (which is perfectly appropriate here), call it discrimination of foreigners. It doesn't make it any better and less disgusting.

Big Data University: Educating One Million Data Scientists
If you want to prolong battery life with VM, use Parallels or Fusion, not Virtual Box [1]. I suppose VB just does not implement power saving hooks or, perhaps, implementing them brings too much complexity into the software.

In a way, but the idea here looks to be simplicity. The core data for tracking and managing your issues remains the same.
AR or MR is the endgame. Once the technology is capable of blocking out the world then you have VR in MR. Similar attempts have been made with passthrough video with VR[1]; the tech will converge at some point, it's inevitable.

So while you may not be the only one who doesn't want this tech to come about you and anyone else who shares your sentiments are wishing for something that absolutely won't happen. As for your usability concerns, those always come later as the tech matures.

That's probably because people can't make a life there.
Most of the time it's a brief look with a VM that the ad approval process goes thru, and honestly that may not show the malware.

A lot of the time the malware is designed to only show up in certain case scenarios such as date/time, specific version of an OS like Windows XP SP1 but not SP2. Designers come up with the most ludicrous ways of circumventing the Ad approval process, and with hundreds to thousands of new ad's per day there simply isn't an easy way to do all that testing for each single new ad being served, on top of discovering new methods used to skip the checks.

Some networks are truly terrible and just have automation systems but those networks aren't as profitable and are beginning to die out.

With deep learning networks becoming so popular I do often ponder if this type of prevention could be automated slightly better!
I'd guess that many generations of accumulated knowledge and experience made them extremely adept at this.

The rest of us are out of practice.

The problem, like you state, is not AR itself, it's that " no one is really thinking usability, interfaces, social exceptions, and realistic applications".

There is a movement that tries to move the world in a different direction, and I hope many more people will invest some serious time reading about the subject.

Hi, pointed haired boss here, reporting for duty :)

I get the envy, it is nice being able to fund a language. I feel vaguely guilty like I was scratching my own itch, because that's exactly what was going on. I'll feel less guilty if someone else says "hey, cool, looks like C" and plays with it.

I think if I did it all over again I'd open source it sooner.
You're not the only one. I personally am not a fan of VR either.

BUT... There is one use case where I would totally adopt AR/VR for, that I don't see a lot of people talking about.

If someone could make an VR/AR app that simply gives me a floor to ceiling monitor and used eye tracking, I'd be thrilled.

I currently use a pair of 4K monitors (@ 1:1) for work, and I still feel like I could use more real estate. I would guess that a pair of goggles would cost less than having more monitors, and take up less space.
https://tonyarcieri.com/all-the-crypto-code-youve-ever-writt...

The word "broken" means susceptible to practical attack, and attacks aren't always of the "cryptanalyze the ciphertext and read the plaintext because you're a clever mathematician" variety.

For example: Padding Oracle Attacks. This is the most accessible explanation on-hand: https://twitter.com/SoatokDhole/status/720435675401744385

A padding oracle attack lets you decrypt a message by studying how the cryptosystem responds to garbage input. Without recovering the key.

iMessage had a compression oracle attack recently: http://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2016/03/attack-of-we...

They didn't merely "read the plain text of the traffic [they] capture[d]". But these systems were still, quite badly, broken.

So what's my point? Telegram's protocol is susceptible to the same class of active attack. Thus, it is broken.
As much as I dislike facebook, I've moved around a lot throughout my life, as have a lot of my friends, both from high school and university. So realistically, I just don't see any realistic alternative single platform which allows me to keep in touch with all these people.

If such a platform did exist, and I knew about it, I would switch immediately. Their entire business model revolves around getting users addicted, and their history of abusing user's data means I will never be able to even trust the platform.

That being said, I limit my facebook usage to messanger and wishing people happy birthday, so I guess it could be worse.

New MacBook 2016
I never knew the term before moving to the Bay Area and seeing first hand the extreme resistance to high density housing because of concern X. Nobody cares about Warrantless wiretapping or grass roots political movement, but I've seen home owners rally the troops to stop a new 4-story "high rise"
My 2010 would still be a good development machine if it weren't for the defective video card that causes kernel panics. And the grinding fan.

I wonder what the Macbook would be like as an IntelliJ machine. 8GB of RAM is good, and the screen coaxed into native resolution mode has lots of real estate. But how would the CPU hold up? Especially during full Maven builds...
Maybe people with money take care of themselves better? All my lower income acquaintances and friends are fat and never work out. They drive everywhere and are generally very unhealthy. It just blows my mind to see what they eat at restaurants. There's a real issue here about the lack of proper eating and exercise.

The middle class or higher group people in my life often take care of their health, work out, eat right, etc. They ride bikes, stay active, walk a lot, etc.

The idea that its purely healthcare dollars at work here is unrealistic to me. I think there's more at play here and the knee-jerk answers that are political correct is often wrong. Especially post Obamacare, where so many are now insured and go the same doctors and hospitals everyone else goes to.

Law applies wherever people are willing to enforce it.
It could be cultural as well. I remember showing pictures of my childhood in Soviet Union to people in America and they'd comment how gloomy and sad everyone looked -- even at birthday parties. The thing is we weren't gloomy and sad (well not all the time even though we were poor). We just didn't smile in pictures. So not saying people are not scared and oppressed there. We know they are. But some of the reactions could be cultural as well not all due oppression.

Putting external library source files directly into my project does not sound sane at all, and it is definitely not the only option for static libs on Windows. You can also make the library project a component of your solution, and add a reference to it in dependent project(s). That way, they have proper separation but are all built from source.

Having now read the rationale for single header libraries, I am completely unconvinced. These people either don't know how their tools work, or are making bad choices to coddle people who don't. Even forgetting the wasted time parsing the #ifdef'ed out implementation section over and over, it screws up separate compilation. Every time you tweak the implementation section, all the files that #include it will recompile for no good reason.

That 1.3 GHz Core M chip will boost to over 3 GHz for short periods of time. It will perform very similarly to a Skylake i5 in tasks like web browsing, but will throttle aggressively under a sustained load. That's where the 1.3 GHz number comes from.

As for the new Skylake i5 - Iris graphics are a huge step up from the 4100 model, but overall there isn't much reason to upgrade. CPUs have been stagnating in terms of performance for a few years now.

There's been loads of fantasy AR interfaces designed and kicked around for ages, but before anyone can start making them though you have to get to the point that the technology is available to test on. VR was stuck in the same place that you bemoan about for AR for ages before things like the Rift started showing up and available for people to actually experiment with. Heck we're still in the crummy interface stage of VR and most of the games that have come out aren't that deep or engaging coma

> "I am in a different space and not here with you", but with AR you are socially signaling "I'm here but I'm projecting a mustache on you for my own amusement and partially ignoring you while I watch funny youtube clips" which will make people uncomfortable the same way Google Glasses did.

I don't think the difference here is as big as you make it out to be and what most people didn't like about Glass was the camera not the screen. Neither of those messages are particularly acceptable when a person wants to talk to you. If AR is actually useful social etiquette will adapt like it has for every distraction machine that has come along.
You may test it. It is straight-forward do build, e.g. I tested the sdl2 demo (demo/sdl/) and CPU usage was <10%.

I did not dig further, but I like the general idea, as GUI toolkits are biiiiig.
That's an easy question to ask if you know the screen aspect and resolution.

Surprisingly, in a lot of GUI libraries, it's not an easy thing.

Companies that keep things under wraps showing bits and pieces are hard to trust. Demos are easy. In a perfectly orchestrated environment, you can show whatever you want. It means very little in terms of what your final product/experience will be.
It seemed to be the most performant option available, aside from C.

I find that pixels are appropriate at both the "small code" end and the "perfect display" end of user interface rendering. In between the "I have lots of CPU but I can't afford the mental time to get this perfect" is served well by abstract units.

The problem that hits abstract units is that for features which are small, you never really know how big they will be. It's easy to end up with elements which should look similar but some are three pixels wide and some are four, or the spacing is a little ragged from the rounding. Some kits avoid this by just antialiasing everything. Then you try to draw a detailed graph or a musical score and some of your horizontal lines are sharp and crisp because they hit solidly inside a pixel, and some are a grey smear because they hit a crack.

This is probably a large reason why many graphs and charts you see on the web look like they were drawn by a child with a felt tip marker. A 3 pixel wide line is pretty forgiving about where it falls.

"Theranos, founded by a young woman entrepreneur who wears only black turtlenecks..."

"The company's technology is blah blah blah, but look! OMFG YOUNG FEMALE FOUNDER!"

See, you're agreeing with me. I pulled the actual numbers from Google and 40K total traffic deaths out of 2.6M total deaths for the USA last year is about one percent. So drinking related is a third of one percent. Its about a hundred times more likely than getting hit by lightning, its hardly zero, but its basically a rounding error in list of risks to worry about.

Lets say 100 times per year the local pro baseball stadium fills all 40K seats and a mere 1/4 (probably more) drive home after some beers. So right there, the odds of someone being killed in any individual baseball game related drunk driving incident are under 1%, likely far, far lower, given that's hardly the only pro sport, there are more baseball stadiums in the country than the one nearby me, more than half the people sitting the stands have had a beer, and almost all drinking happens outside baseball stadiums anyway.

However, I agree with you completely, its only banned because its a completely senseless and avoidable risk to take, not because its highly risky. Its measurably an extremely low risk, but the key is its a dumb risk to take, which is the only reason why its illegal. Tobacco smoking on the other hand is extremely high risk, but its not illegal, because most people don't see it as senseless or dumb.
