Except that is exactly the terminology fudging that makes the conversation opaque. Android uses a forked Linux kernel, and uses none of the GNU toolchain that appears on Linux distributions. Android is based on Linux, but not GNU/Linux, and if you use just Linux as an interchangeable term for both kernel and OS including user-space, you could have gotten away with that a decade ago, but today there are enough divergent systems using Linux and not the GNU system that the distinction is required to make sense.

Essentially, you can run /layout on the installer to create an offline installation cache. We're working to add more capabilities here, but the fundamentals of the experience are in place.
I (of course) believe there are plenty of people who fully understand the show and don't like it, but given how many times I've seen people who do like the show manage to miss major points or even the central theme of an episode, there must be people who don't like it because they've missed those same things. From that perspective, several of the episodes probably are hamfisted. Nosedive is the only one I'd describe as such... but then again, maybe I missed the point.

Steam vr recently added asynchronous reprojection.
OpenVPN uses the same trick to establish a higher-priority default gateway:

def1 -- Use this flag to override the default gateway by using 0.0.0.0/1 and 128.0.0.0/1 rather than 0.0.0.0/0. This has the benefit of overriding but not wiping out the original default gateway.

This works because routing tables prioritize "tighter" routes. I do think that 128.0.0.0/1 would only map to 1/2 of the address space. I cannot find the isc-dhcp server config files in the source code to verify. :disappointed:

> I haven't heard it - I wish there was more. But I think it's dangerous and false to say it's all equivalent and no source is better and significantly more accurate than others.

Quite so. But there's been a cycle of "bob's a real journalist, not like the others; sally's a real journalist, not like the others" a LOT this year.... regrettably it related to whatever dirt they released. Very No True Scotsman-esque.

It's been super clear that certain news orgs: NYT, WaPo, and a few others, have been on the ball, focusing on real issues, real dirt, real ethics. Other orgs (Breitbart, HuffPo) are largely organs of ideologies. Vox is somewhere in the middle: real news (more so than HuffPo), but with an avowed Left play.

Right now I happen to be a subscriber to the NYT and the New Yorker. WaPo might also get my $$$ in the next few months or so.

> IMO it would be great to get folks who write the enormous base of existing realtime apps driving critical devices everywhere to sit up and take notice of Rust.

It would, and definitely should, move into the direction of safer languages than C.

The biggest problem I see is tooling and legacy. Tooling, because there's a ginormous amount of testing and design software that "works with C" (whatever that means in the context of the tool). Legacy, because everyone already has their 20 year old codebases and it's just not convenient to start focusing on two languages and switching the old code to Rust is just plain impossible economically.

Third problem is compiler. LLVM (rustc is a frontend to it, no?) is really good choice, but gcc has enormous advantage in supporting so many small platforms and it's very significant in this area of SW dev.

On the plus side, I've really gotten the impression that the Rust folks are truly trying to make adoption as smooth as possible. If that works, and Rust proves to be much better than C for these kinds of systems, I'd guess adopting Rust rather than not would start looking economically viable to companies. I mean, in the end that's what matters to them the most, and it's not easy to replace all you C ninjas with competent Rust writer.

EMP is a burst of noise. You could make it with an explosion, or via the undisciplined discharge of a large capacitor into a semi-resonant circuit. It pumps energy into a broad spectrum. It's hard to contain it in a very specific direction, although simple reflection techniques, etc, could be used.

High-powered microwaves are like a microwave oven, or a radar, except more powerful I guess. Could be focused in a specific direction with ease. It usually works at one main frequency, or a small set of well-defined frequencies.

I'd love to see someone write a game engine in Rust to compete with the "big boys" like Cry or Unreal. C++ game code can be such a nightmare.
The excitement comes from the fact that some workloads benefit greatly from GPUs -- mostly those where the GPU arch offers some niche-advantage that can give GPUs >=10x perf[/W]. A good example is deep learning where Intel is struggling to compete [1], and even in linear algebra there is a 4-5x power efficiency difference [2, slide 6].

At the same time, in many other complex applications the performance/W/$ advantage has not been all that clear, especially since GPUs have been quite behind in process technology. A good example is a simulation code I work on where a 2-4x speedup from GPUs, which (due to inherent overhead of using accelerators) gradually vanishes in strong scaling, means that when price is considered, only cheap consumer cards can imrpove the performance/buck metric significantly (that's time-to-solution/buck in our case), professional cards
don't offer significant significant improvements other than performance density [3, figures 6,7].

There are plenty more examples that NVIDIA collects [4], but always take the claims with a grain of salt, especially the ones with "incredible" >10x speedup claims :)

Last, I'd note that with the recent 14-16nm jump, the gap between the traditional CPUs and the simpler accelerator architectures has increased
(I've just seen MAGMA BLAS on Tesla P100 results which show >10x GFlops/W, more than double that of the previous arch) and I expect it to keep increasing partly due to the manufacturing/process technology gap shrinking between Intel and the rest and partly due to architecture and programmability improvements of accelerators.

What's the place for Rust in the market?

The distributed systems have already moved to Go (when it's not Java/C# :D).

The system programming is done in either C or C++. (Depending on history and availability).

The oldest stuff and/or most constrained is stuck with C. They're struggling to have anything moved over to C++. Rust is entirely out of question.
What exactly do you think is solved in this scenario by distributed

(Adam from Realm) No this version does not include sync functionality, it is just for use with Realm locally. We wanted to expose it to the Node.js community as we think it has value on its own--such as interprocess communication as mentioned in the article.

However, stay tuned more updates around sync very soon!
In order to get approved as a generic version of the branded drug, the generic manufacturer has to show data that indicates 80% to 125% bio-equivalence.

If there is a version on the market with only 60% bioavailability, somebody screwed up (the FDA).
There are reasonable applications for goto. But I think there are more reasonable applications for operator overloading. (like Complex, BigInteger, or dimensional types)
Did they investigate garbage collection as a possible explanation?
VR Retail Practices Need Urgent Makeover
Ex-agency advertiser and consultant here. Wanted to provide some thoughts. I agree, Facebook targeting alone wouldn't work quite well. In this case, I would probably utilize FB/GDN as retargeting platforms which would then probably yield some results. Problem here is you would need to get first-party data. LinkedIn as you mentioned would be a decent avenue since you can target specific careers, however I would actually rely on the sales side to start building the list. Of which, you can start generating lookalikes (I always question lookalikes because the algos are "proprietary", but everything warrants a test to see results). Google Search will be good here too with a good set of keywords.
It would be in Rust too.
That is a tragedy, and it's true: we do have "mass stabbings."

It's important to recognize the relative scale. "Mass stabbings" seldom exceed 12 victims, let alone fatalities. Gun violence easily extends past that.

There is a common counter-argument here that the US is inherently a violent country and therefore limiting gun ownership wouldn't decrease violence. I'm not sure that follows, but it misses a central point: Guns enable violence at an industrial scale. They're mechanized killing devices with tens of thousands of engineering hours around making it quick and reliable to critically disable a target, often via death.

A knife is a knife. Like any sharp object, it can be dangerous. A baseball bat is similarly potentially dangerous. But the scope of the dangers of these things is smaller. It seems unfair to compare them directly to gun ownership.

It seems strange to say, "We cannot stop all murders, therefore we shouldn't try and stop the easiest kind." Every life saved is someone's mother/brother/father/sister/child. It's a human story that isn't ended in tragedy and pain. Pitting that against these rhetorical devices about "all violence" seems to me to not address the central question we're asking: "Could we save more lives if we made it harder to own guns?"
Redhat is not pushing developers into producing software incompatible with anything but their own system. They are actively involved in the development of almost all core software common to all distros, and even flatpak, which is meant to tear down barriers between distro package formats rather than prop up the wall.

Microsoft could push Windows all they want if they were not also pushing an ecosystem exclusive to that platform along with it. If Windows was "just another unix" and was interchangeable at the user level with other operating systems, particularly those that would respect user freedoms, there would be no issue with its nature as "default" or in Microsofts behavior in regards to its users, because there would be real choice.

Real choice, in exactly the same way Red Hat vs SUSE vs Ubuntu users have right now amongst themselves.

Packaging your functions in an extension has the advantage that it allows you to call remote functions when using the postgres_fdw Foreign Data Wrapper.

PostgreSQL 9.6 added extension function pushdown as a new feature allowing functions to be executed on the remote side as long as the extension is registered with the foreign server. This avoids having to fetch all the data from the remote side to execute a function locally, see https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/postgres-fdw....
Some of the huge news here is that as of SP1, the following features that were one exclusive to the Enterprise Edition of SQL Server are now available in Standard and Web Editions: Change Data Capture, database snapshots, column stores, table partitioning, data compression, in-memory OLTP (Hekaton), Always Encrypted, Polybase, fine-grained auditing, multile Filestream containers. I wish I had access to all of these features back when I was building an app that was required to support SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition.
rust does things C++ simply cannot and will never do. that doesn't mean rust is strictly better. actually i believe C++ and rust should be best friends; there's only this small ABI issue - i hear smart people are working on it, though.

I absolutely don't understand the draw of slot machines. I watched a woman playing a smartphone version on the subway; for three stops, she just kept hitting the "spin" button and watching the results.

I admit to not knowing how they work, but do they typically have any more interaction than "pull lever, sporadically receive reward"?
I've come up against one hurdle, which is that the entity framework stuff is configured very differently to what I'm used to. Seems to want to force me to go code first. Admittedly I've only dabbled in it.
You mean a neutron bomb.!

Maybe we should figure out why they fight and not bomb the crap out of them or send the back to the stone age (BTW, people living in the 'stone age' knowing there is something better will fight for that)
> Operator overloading is probably the worst feature ever invented, same with Class Extensions, reducing readability of code

or greatly enhancing it. Depending on how you use it.

That's why Java is a language for idiots. I'm not saying everyone who uses it or likes it is an idiot, it's a reasonable language to like. I'm saying it's designed to be usable by idiots. Can't have operator overloading, it might be abused. Can't have unsigned types, no one ever should use those. etc...
and yet the ecosystem grows every day.
I believe you can use xcode command line tools to build using appcode. Haven't used in ages though, so don't quote me on that
unwrap has legitimate use-cases, and it's not clear what "disable" it would be, as it changes the type of the thing it returns. You could write a lint to fail the build, if you want, I guess...

Nevertheless these language specific solutions are completely opaque to an end user. These are software developer centric. As an end user I cannot inspect how these were applied and therefore develop trust in the end product.

There's always an element of trust at the root of running a piece of software on my machine. I wish I could quickly inspect and be sure that say, the audio engine that mozilla firefox is running runs completly in a segregated zone/container/sandbox that will prevent, even in the presence of defects, its exploitation to leak data that is important to me.

I guess it's just a question of words and goals being a little bit too overlapping. Rust's approach is to address safety as in the rates of defects. However it does nothing, and probably cannot, address the security i.e. the impact on my own safety or that of my assets.

As an end-user I care much more about security than I care about defects.
Cool. We can definitely do that. Any particular size or type of company that interests you?
They also use Tizen for their TV's and appliances.
The expectations of the users are supposed to be managed by the creators of the apps. Right now, in my opinion, they are making an unacceptably dangerous compromise in driver safety for a very minor increase in customer convenience.

That interaction might have something important the author experienced that we, as readers, can't visualise.

Also, a big part of this is that many times minorities don't want to reinforce a stereotype. There's a fine line to tread between one-off self-expression and the worry that the majority think that this is what you do all the time, or a label. I can see why the author doesn't want to be seen as "Derrius, the guy who raps."

I guess I fail to see the value of this. If you don't want the component lifecycle, event system, or DOM diffing that React gives you, you might as well just write your own declarative wrapper around `document.createElement(...)` and be done with it. You can achieve this for templating alone in < 10 lines of code, and if you want to add some event delegating on top of it you can include that for another ~30.
Ah, thank you, I looked at the definition for both and couldn't figure out which one I wanted. I blame the OS X spotlight dictionary :)
College, amirite?
Yup. I completely agree. And there were a lot of steps in the chain. As I understand it, it wasn't the issuing banks that were doing the bundling: they just sold the loans to other financial service companies. Given the amount of money and the fact that a lot of them effectively got away with it, from their point of view it was good business.

This is an example of situations where I see arguments along the lines of "it was legal, so it wasn't wrong". Grr...

One thing about the Faraday cage is that is has a maximum frequency - when the wavelength becomes comparable to the cell size in the wire frame. Any higher frequency will just go through.

This is a problem as microwaves are in the centimeter range. The mesh then would have to be dense. That would raise aerodynamic issues.

I'm not saying it's not doable. I'm just raising the obvious concerns about basic challenges from the laws of physics.

It's important to note that the "campaign against gay marriage" was not just about a future ban, but specifically about the annulment of marriages already registered in California. How would you feel about someone who tried to annul your marriage without ever having met you? To me, that explains why people felt so strongly about his actions.

It depends on what you're doing, and what you're comfortable working with. If you have page content that is largely rendered server-side, with bits of interactivity and some basic AJAX on the frontend, jQuery's your friend. If you want to build a single-page application that rests mostly or entirely on the frontend, thats what the newer frameworks and methodologies are designed to do, and you're better off going with one of them.
