Anecdotal experience about Vega that might help others. I tried Vega 4 or 6 times during one month to see if I could use it as my protein shake replacement for the whey-based product I'd been using.

Every time I had a Vega shake in the morning I experienced abdominal bloating, digestive issues, and nausea two or three hours after consuming it.

The first couple of times I wasn't sure if the Vega was the cause or if it was something else going on, but after trying it in isolation (no other food products within 8 hours, only water and the powder) I was able to consistently replicate the issues.

Something in their formulation doesn't agree with me. I'm not 100% sure what it was.
Totally agree. On Windows it's the same with Windows 2000 and XP.

Can you beat.. The White Western Male??

I am sick of all of this. There is gender parity in video gamers. There is huge amount of diversity in video game titles for whoever wants them. Think you have spotted a gap in the market? Great, make your billions, others will follow very, very quickly.

"For years I've been bored of trying to prove to my colleagues that women are human, that women aren't too unpredictable to study, that what women like is not less worthy nor boring nor wrong nor hard to understand. That it's garbage to say that women don't need deep, rich experiences."

The disdain for The White Male in this is ridiculous.

"For years I've been bored of trying to prove to my colleagues that women are human"

Does anyone reading this believe that his colleagues believe women are not human or worthy of respect?

This person is aiming straight for bullseye of a niche, vocal man hating demographic in order to make money.
I know we've made lots of progress in the past 30+ years, and we can do plenty of wonderful things now.

But sometimes, when I see what was possible with so few resources, and then press shift-esc in Chrome and notice my Facbook tab using a few hundred megs of memory, I feel a little bit sad.

Or sometimes, after putting together a complex web UI using React, I feel pretty good about what I've accomplished. And don't get me wrong, I love using React and Angular 2. But then, I think back to how much more civilized UI development felt nearly 20 years ago using VB6 and Delphi, and I feel a little bit sad.

I actually feel more sad about the second point than I do about the first point, because we can often afford to waste hardware resources these days. But as good as modern web UI frameworks and libraries are in many ways, I still feel a bit like someone who once had a chainsaw but is now forced to chop down sequoias with a hatchet.

By the time Carmack joined the Oculus Rift's CV1 technology and design was mostly finished. Carmack is reportedly focused on Oculus's mobile offerings which we have yet to see or is indeed the Santa Cruz prototype which, if rumors are to believed, is a mobile SoC powered inside-out markerless VR headset. When I saw the SC prototype I instantly thought this is what Carmack must has been working on. Not shoving cellphones into $20 goggles and working out the kinks like many think mobile VR would turn out.

I think there's some practical considerations here with the "magic engineer" who can do anything quickly and, of course, the laws of diminishing or even negative returns outlined in books like the Mythical Man-Month. Even the impressive Santa Cruz is years out from being sold. Graphically it cannot compete with the PC-based systems it would ultimately compete with.
Note that even if you try to manually correct the pointer to work on aligned data (read any initial bytes via char pointer and read the rest via uint32_t pointer), you still generally have undefined behavior: strict-aliasing violation. And the worst thing here is that whether you do have a violation depends on how other code accesses the same data / how the object is initially declared. E.g., you're fine if the original declaration is char[] or uint32_t[], but not if it's uint16_t[]. Because that would entail access to the same data via both uint16_t and uint32_t, a violation of strict-aliasing.

Actually two out of three inet checksum implementations in lwIP have this bug [1].

And like the problem discovered in the article, this is NOT theoretical. I have personally seen code "miscompiled" due to strict aliasing violations (in that case, packed structures were involved).

I think the only way to do this "manual alignment handling" is to use assembly, either by writing the entire thing in assembly, or using inline asm sections for doing the individual 32-bit memory reads/writes.

Funny story... When I was looking for a fast inet checksum implementation to use for an embedded ARM project, I took the one from RTEMS, which is written in C with much inline asm, and like the lwIP code, it has strict aliasing violations (and also problems compiling correctly with clang). What I did was, compiled it to assembly with gcc once, then included this compiled assembly in the source code. Assuming that this was compiled correctly, I don't need to be afraid of future compiler change breaking it.

everything out there right now just felt bloated as hell, and not cleanly designed around the concept of real-time, threaded conversations

you can create them in most tools, but you can also mow the lawn with a pair of scissors :)

you usually wind up with 2-3 channels that turn into huge spamfests, with a horrible signal-to-noise ratio, constantly begging for your attention (at the cost of interrupting whatever you're working on)

so I just got rid of all the crap that doesn't matter, polished what was leftover, and hopefully fixed a few nasty process issues along the way :)

The sense of achievement just fades off with age. For a lot of games equal time sunk with progress(, without going all in on the fun of grinding, thats something different for me), most games mechanics just start to feel like the artificial speed bumps they are, only meant to stretch or distract from a hopefully existing story and setting.

Game progress of story-heavy offline games should be unlockable at will without importing save games. Or there should be some kind of an AI play mode, where you only take over that autopilot if you seem interested or just like to watch.

For most linear games with an actual story a youtube replay, including fast forwards, will be as good as the thing itself. This might as well explain a part of the let's play success.
Leap most certainly won't do this. But give it twenty years.
all of the above?
Frankly i find a repeating pattern with all tech development.

You have a early "runway" phase where you get the basics hammered out, then you get a near vertical phase as those basics get rapidly refined. Then it plateaus as those the ROI on those refinements worsen.

Between the 60s and now we have had multiples of these "S" curves happen back to back. And now most, or all, are plateauing.

I'm still amazed that the Mac Finder still doesn't let you cut and paste files with Cmd-X, Cmd-V like you can in Windows. That's one thing I miss from Windows. It was so much easier to move files around. Having to have 2 windows open and drag and drop using the mouse is so much more inconvenient than keeping your hand on the keyboard the entire time.
>people elect caution only in the face of scary science-y things

A convenient, though not entirely accurate dismissal.

Perhaps it's the scale of the usage combined with the financial incentive to declare safety, further combined with the fight to ensure that people are uninformed with regard to what they are ingesting. Where else is it acceptable to deny people information they desire to make their own choice? And, what else is more sensitive and personal than what we choose to consume?

Imagine for a moment that your own review led you to believe the science was still out on GMOs. Then, you might imagine the desire to know.

And, all of this is then combined with a decidedly checkered past in declaring safety through science.

It's no coincidence that all of your arguments could have equally been applied to, say, thalidomide.

Painting anyone who holds a different viewpoint as willfully blind and mad doesn't present you as some sort of enlightened pro-science champion. In fact, the scientific process itself is one of continuous discovery. Some people may prefer to choose whether and when to volunteer their bodies for such discovery.

Reasonable people can disagree here. You'd make a more effective advocate with that understanding.

Further, the brain uses subsystems whose architectures are good at the specific problem their solving with smooth integration that somehow often preserves context. The approach of current ANN's seems to be equivalent of taking visual cortext or other single subsystem then trying to apply it to every other subsystem's area of expertise. It will do interesting things but always fall short since it's architecturally not the right tool for the job.

It's why my money is on the humans for the upcoming Starcraft challenge. Like poker, bluffing is integral to the process. AI's have been having a really hard time with that in poker except for constrained games. Starcraft provides enough open-ended opportunities that the AI will get smashed by clever human. Hip hop similarly combines tons of references to pop culture, psychology of what goes with what, coordination of presentation, and established musical tricks. At least half of them ANN's suck at by design.

I've recently read an explanation for the end of that conflict that makes the most sense of any I've read, not that I consider myself to be even minimally informed about it, and it was that the series of anti-material bombings that included Canary Wharf is what forced the U.K. to make a peace work, the massive damages to buildings and other infrastructure were just too much to sustain.
I did not want to use the word banned, but I see I left it there. You are right, regulated is the word. Also I did not mean all GMOs are "banned" but those that specifically produce some kind of pesticide are more strictly regulated. (Though I cannot find it on google, except from news articles, so it might not actually be the case. Actually mon810, a maize with a herbicide is doing exactly this.)

It was however not the point. The point is there are tradeoffs to GMOs. Very valid ones with arguments to both sides. Not presenting those is polarizing the discussion, not adding to it.
> Version conflicts and package naming collisions are two different problems

You cannot separate both issues. Go assumes all API are immutable which is insane, a package manager won't solve that.

I do not really find that surprising. The way I think about the observation is as an iterated prisoners dilemma, in which both sides have a history of defect. To expand a bit, wars happen when both sides prefer war to the terms of peace (and in this game theoretic view "terms of peace" does not include any assumption of reasonability, for one side "terms of peace" may well be getting annihilated), plus of course a breakdown of trust. So each side has to prepare for the defection of the other side and neither side trusts that the other side will stick to the cease fire, and has therefore an incentive to attack first.
however, Pascal was the official OS language, and all the original documentation (Inside Macintosh) for the APIs was written in Pascal.

I am on the previous-gen 15" MBP. This thing weighs about 4.5 lbs (in addition to being rather thick at 0.71"). At 4 lbs and 0.61", the new model is a major improvement!

When they come out with the next 15" pro model, I hope they manage to get it down to 3.5 lbs and 0.5" total thickness. I'll stand in line to buy that machine!

>The fetishized austerity and performative asceticism of minimalism is a kind of ongoing cultural sickness.

It's hardly more than a design trend. Similar to naturalism in the 1970's, when the walls of your home and your television set had a wooden finish.

>We misinterpret material renunciation, austere aesthetics and blank, emptied spaces as symbols of capitalist absolution, when these trends really just provide us with further ways to serve our impulse to consume more, not less.

Not really. It's more the fact that a guy called Steve Jobs reanimated a dying computer business into a global mega-cult, wholeheartedly embracing and thereby popularizing ideas of people like Dieter Rams.

While some alternatives to minimalism would be nice, I think what the author is (rightly) dissatisfied with is our economic system and the exchange of goods, not the actual way in which those goods are selected and consumed.

How long had the tenants been in those apartments? I'm just curious how costs rose faster than rents, since property taxes are pretty low. Was the high cost of labour for maintenance a big part of it?
I find Soylent's marketing eye-rollingly annoying for all kinds of reasons--especially its targeting of (and success with) a Silicon Valley demographic that's too busy to eat because they're writing a social network for penguins that's going to change the world.

At the same time, let's not pretend that every meal is a leisurely repast shared with friends or that there isn't a massive industry to deliver pre-made food and prepared food at various levels going back decades. To the degree that Soylent replaces a Big Mac or a frozen burrito it's hard for me to see it as the end of civilization. Even if I also think that people should make the time to cook a relaxed meal at least some of the time.
> Go might want to look into governance models

The problem is not the governance himself but how Go ties namespaces to API and the lack of flexibility in the language. It has nothing to do with who owns Go. The ownership issue is a distraction.

This appears to be from 2014. Prior to 2014, using GMO seeds "required" farmers to plant an in-field refuge of non-resistant crops. Since farmers could, short term, get better yields if they didn't plant these refuge plants, they often chose not to. In 2014 companies started mixing in non-resistant seeds, known as "refuge in bag". It's seen some mixed results, but for the most part, it looks like it has helped.
I'm really surprised the naming types for the Arm8 (64 bit) low cost boards didn't call them 'Tau' rather than 'Pi', and 'Orange Tau' or 'Dragon Tau' sounds reasonably identifiable to me and it would quickly become the defacto way of distinguishing between 64 bit machines and 32 bit machines.

Oh boy, another Soylent discussion.

Here is what all the off topic discussion will be:

Person1) "What is so hard to understand sheeple?! Soylent isn't for all your meals, just ones that you are too busy to eat. Also, it has all the vitamins you need not like all those thousand other bars/drinks!?"

Person2) "I'd rather move to the bottom of the ocean than buy Soylent. Why would you ever skip a meal?! Capitalism is the root of all evil including making me miss my dinner!"

Folks, we all come at food differently, it's a very personal thing. Just because you feel this way about food, does not mean we all do. It's like people that stand or sit when they are wiping after going #2. We all coexist just fine and none of us know that there is really any other way and are astounded when other people are different.

Chill, people, chill, it's food.

Started in 2007, profitable every year since.

Web-based form and application creation software offered both as a stand-alone purchase or fully operational cloud subscription. Currently outputs as PHP or C#, can be extended to just about any other language/platform.

Very loyal users, often generating excellent leads for software consulting projects.

Currently finishing up code for several partnerships including offline forms, workflow integration, and several others. The hope is these partnerships could bring huge wins in existing markets.

Want to sell for a simple reason: every year I tell myself I'll start marketing properly, and every year I ignore that and write code instead.

It's time to place this project in the hands of someone or some organization that can grow it into the powerhouse it can be.
