So, is it working off some kind of always-in-sync (assuming a live network connection) manifest?

I confess, I did not watch the video, and only briefly skimmed the announcement.

Edit: I'm asking a genuine question of real technical interest here. How can this be implemented with no latency and real file sizes immediately available for inspection, while taking up no disk space? I went back and read the announcement again, and there are no hard details I can see that I missed in my initial skim. There has to be something stored locally, right? Hell, I'm running gigabit fiber here, and I still notice latency in the CLI for anything that requires a network connection. Perhaps I misunderstood the parent?

12 Common Mistakes While Backing Up Databases (2015)
If you're talking about the internet, a decade is a long time and an important distinction. We're not talking about a 32 year old dev. I mean hell I know plenty of early 30s folks.

40 years ago was 1976. We're talking about people who were born not too long after we landed on the moon (or even before). There's just not a lot of people that age who both went into programming and are still doing it, as opposed to management or something non-technical entirely.

So while it's not at all surprising to see an early- or mid-30s developer (I work with many), it is very surprising to see a mid-40s developer (I've only ever worked with two, and one had an almost violent aversion to anything except procedural VB).

> If we are talking about America, certain white people certainly profited from stirring up racism here for centuries.

Did you know that less than 1% of the population in America owned slaves in the 19th century? And some of those 1% where African? And that some of those slaves where European or Asian? And that all of those 1% are now dead and long gone?

> We don't even have to look back to when slavery was legal

I hope you realize, that you can turn back the clock and find fault with all races, sexes and creeds. You are being ignorant and singling out one race to fit your narrative of "White Privilege". This is the 21st century. Quit using 19th century white guilt to push an agenda.
Localization doesn't just refer to translation but more importantly to distribution rights. Even the publisher can't give away distribution rights in regions where they previously already promised exclusivity.

This is the anachronism that results in paradoxical situations like being able to only offer Lord of the Rings part 1 and 3 but not part 2 because some obscure TV channel has the exclusive rights in your country for the next five years.

True. I guess I was trying to point out that it is fancy they used a NN to generate new textures, but without releasing it out as a texture pack, they lose a cool opportunity to let people experience the results themselves. I suspect that the screenshot at the bottom simply used one of the existing high resolution texture / shader packs.
Indeed, various groups of white people have suffered varying levels of prejudice, but 1- it doesn't compare to what, for example, black or chinese people or native americans suffered historically and 2- most of the prejudice against these groups has been forgotten, whereas prejudice against "people of color" is still very much alive.
Actually not true; the total number of people it requires to move a train, with all the other trains on the track, and then taking in every safety precaution, track monitoring, etc. The operation involves many people on a highly coordinated level...they don't have a lot of room for error with the number of trains on the small amount of track.

The concept of privilege does not mean "you did not earn what you have." It means "other people with circumstances like yours were prevented from earning what you have, because of their gender or ethnicity."

It's not about tearing anyone down. It's about recognizing that people with success can help those who are being denied success, unfairly.
'Who', not 'whom'. 'Who' is subjective or nominative case, 'whom' objective; the parallel is 'they' vs. 'them', or 'he' vs 'him'. You wouldn't say 'them don't typically side with the government'.

In general, if you're not familiar and comfortable with the grammatical rules around pronoun case, don't use 'whom' at all, and stick with the more common pronouns whose correct usage you'll have learned by osmosis.

have you not been following the developments of self driving cars? Like the story of how google cars had problems gauging the intent of bike riders that were themselves stopped to let the car pass ... it looked like they were about to take off, so the car was too conservative and didn't move until the bike changed what they were doing. And then, once that condition was experienced and identified, it was fixed for all google cars in the entire fleet.

I'm pretty sure the car will be able to identify and plastic bag ... not to mention a simple cargo manifest that would apply parameters about how the cargo is to be dealt with.

This is a very culturally biased statement. Our current western culture is very 'progressive' (in the ideological sense), and we generally view such an approach as a sign of 'lagging behind'. If you ask a Singaporean, though, their priors are likely to be different and they may disagree - and probably not because they have failed to comprehend or 'catch up with' our western mindset and its underpinnings. I don't generally consider myself a relativist, but I find this sort of approach to these issues to be overly simplistic.

This is exactly what I needed, gonna put it in my window manager startup script. I already wrote a dock and undock script for my laptop a while ago, which I still had to run manually, so this is the perfect addition to that script.
Though I had some problems compiling it. For others who want to try it: On some systems (gentoo here) flex replaces lex and you need to use -lfl to link it, even though lex seems to be ususally a symlink to flex, there is no symlink for the libraries. Also on some distributions yacc doesn't seem to come with liby anymore, just remove the -ly from cflags.

TL;DR: Replace "LDADD+= -ll -ly -lX11 -lXrandr" with "LDADD+= -lfl -lX11 -lXrandr" to make it compile on Gentoo. Make sure yacc and flex are emerged.

Bingo. Race is just one facet anyway. We're all born with various advantages and disadvantages, none of which we have any control over. Just as an example, some people are better looking than others ... and those people tend to have an advantage, because they're better looking. They can get better jobs, better pay, etc. all because of the way they look.

So what?

The rest of us just have to work a bit harder. That's how life works. Stop whining. No, life isn't fair. Deal with it.
Well there was a period when it looked like the mainstream was going to switch away from Java, but then Android was released. Java is heavily mainstream still. If you're optimizing, it's still a good bet to stick with. But be ready to jump off if Android switches languages away from Java which may pull enough mind share to make Java a 'niche'.

At least, that's my interpretation of the article's logic mixed with what appears mainstream to me. There's a lot of room for subjectivity, but it's difficult to argue that Java/Android isn't an extremely mainstream direction.
No. NFS requires a continuously online connection and pulls the metadata over it, so you have to wait for `ls` and `stat`. Caching in NFS is quite limited, and of course its authentication and network-traversal problems are hard work to deal with.

> Well multi core is not one CORE but rather an integrated distributed system of cores linked with buses that are probably built with chips very similar to switch/commuters without all the KPEX poured in optimizing network equipments.

Not really. Multi-core chips share processor execution resources and L2 cache between them. The on-die cores are directly tied to each other in a way that off-die components, including cores in another socket on the same board, are not. They are a single computer.

Now, you can carry the network abstraction down to that level. Problem is, as an EE I can carry the network abstraction down below the register level. A register bit is a network of transistors and resistors, after all. At what point do we call something a computer? I personally think any clustering of tightly-coupled, on-die computational blocks is a "computer", which means the milti-core chips certainly count as one computer with multiple execution pipelines.
> In the last general election the ruling People's Action Party was voted in with a 70% popular vote.

Agile will be dead as long as it's the dominant management methodology and there are page-views to be had. It'll be replaced with essentially the same process but with different terminology. Long before the Agile Manifesto, when I was working at NASA, we talked about the reality that the state of knowledge about a project is at its lowest at the beginning, and that any realistic project planning and management process must acknowledge and accommodate that fact. Subsequent research has confirmed that human beings consistently underestimate complex tasks, and that this bias persists even with experience, so no matter what methodology you adopt, you will always be under unrealistic deadlines. This results in distortions to whatever process you use, and flaws in whatever product you produce, and these distortions and flaws will be blamed on your development process, since no one will accept that it's simply an unfixable feature of human nature.

That's going to vary wildly from country to country depending on what deals they're able to actually get for content. In the US it's pretty good for watching old shows.
Of course it's frightening. But it's frightening in an exhilarating sort of way. I am sure that most of us would love to get our hands on that type of data, and the tools to work with it. And the benefits can't be denied - it's not mainly for security, which is the main argument for selling surveillance to us here in the west, but optimization. Of everything (security, too, of course, as mentioned in the article- but terrorists are only tangential). And it's a trade-off - if it's worth it remains to be seen, and the answer will probably always depend on who you ask. Personally I haven't really made up my mind yet.
Similar thing happened to me. I'm British living in Sweden. Not only is the selection poor it also does no contain English subtitles for anything; which is frustrating when trying to watch foreign movies.

So I turned my NAS back on and cancelled my subscription.

I'm happy paying content providers, I really am. I visit the cinema, buy DVDs and even songs on iTunes. But if you stop me or hinder me to the point where piracy is a significantly easier option (Or only one illegal option when there are only illegal options) then I'm going to do it.

> not a family in a minivan driving to grandma's house.

A total of 3,660 people died in large truck crashes in 2014. Sixteen percent of these deaths were truck occupants, 68 percent were occupants of cars and other passenger vehicles, and 15 percent were pedestrians, bicyclists or motorcyclists. The number of people who died in large truck crashes was 16 percent higher in 2014 than in 2009[1]

One incident would hardly compare to the ~3000 non-trucker deaths ever year due to the trucking industry. I don't think it would be all that tough to find the grandma of one of those 3000 to show up in court in defense of automation. It will be MADD all over again.

The idea of white privilege doesn't mean there can't be groups that are white who are discriminated against. Gender discrimination is another possible dimension of discrimination. Talking about the notion of white privilege doesn't implicitly dismiss their plights.

>I speak as a white male who grew up in the 80s and in to technology. I certainly remember it was not 'cool' to be in to computers/tech back then (not like now) but there should be little disagreement that being male was not a hindrance for most desired walks of life (whereas being female, moreso then, definitely was).

Really? I physically got my ass kicked every single day. At one point it was so bad i had to get shoulder surgery because i took a beating from black kids who thought i was a geek or whatever. I grew up in what is now considered a ghetto and i was fearful for my life for studying CS. If this white privilege bs existed i would be a millionaire by now and i would still be able to use my left arm to lift more than a liter of milk. People use it as an excuse for racism and their white guilt bullshit. We didn't grow up in the US, we didnt have black slaves and some of our family was slaves.

Just looking at the US and seeing this "white privilege" makes me angry. I doubt i as a white european could get a scholarship to a college even though i've been in software for 10+ years. But you see stories every single day that people find it unfair that there is only scholarships for african americans/asian americans and that they're cutting back on asian americans because apparently they're under "white privilege" as well.
