Peter Thiel strikes me as a sucessful investor and deal-maker posing as an intellectual. His opinions carry a kind of gravitas in the Valley, but his constricted world view seems rather cold and one-dimensional.
Almost no FF game (pretty sure the first one is an exception) requires grinding to complete. Usually if you need to grind to progress it means you're doing something wrong. Review your strategy and equipment then.
This is ridiculous!!

There is no problem with limiting software distribution channels for your own hardware in order to have a meaningful quality assurance.

What the DoJ should instead focus on is the crazy rules apple imposes in order to limit any competition. For example you can not publish apps that compete with their own stuff (that's why we don't have a real chrome or Firefox in iphone). Even more ridiculous is that you are not even allowed to mention apple competitors. Saying this app also support android wear will get you thrown out of the store.
Not the OP but the problem is the fixed focal depth so if you are looking at objects closer or further away your eye focus remains the same but you have to change the vergence of your eyes. You go wall-eyed or cross-eyed. This is generally what gives you eye strain and the pause for thought in letting kids use too much VR. Solutions include using several different overlapped displays to render objects at different focal depths.

A problematic category? What does that even mean?
Yes but when you are looking at Petabyte scale system, unless those data are Hot and IOPs are concerned, HDD still wins given it is 10x cheaper.

And NAND has already hit the curve where it isn't going to get cheaper every year. NAND price is actually on the rise. Smaller Node is now actually more expensive, multiple layer are hard to yield.

So relatively speaking the 10x gap between HDD and SSD wont change in the next 5 years or so.
I'd be careful asserting "what he stands for". At the moment he is at the mercy of the Russian intelligence services and the Russian government, in a nation far more "flexible" about human rights and democracy. Let's just say: if they had a request for some particular information, or a message being delivered to his followers, he isn't exactly in a position to refuse.

On the other hand, we know that Russia is recruiting intelligence assets like him all over the western world. It is entirely possible Snowden was recruited by Russian operatives before his defection to Russia, maybe even before stealing the files.
Wii and Kinect sucked because they tried translating predefined motions to button-presses, with no added benefit over pressing that button on a controller. And they weren't particularly good at it. You don't see how VR is different, have you even tried the Vive?

For the record I was hugely bearish on the Wii, Kinect, 3D tv and movies, and rightly so. But there is no question in my mind that VR will be huge.
Let's summarize your post:
1. ad hominem (6 yrs) - completly irrelevant to discussion
2. you don't see difference between disagreement and hostility - is it english, or ego, I dont know
3. you accuses interlocutor who disagrees with you (being me) with hostility - disagreement is not hostility. In fact anybody who thinks that is unable to openly and politely discuss topics.
4. you decdided to skip main argument (while I assume you understand what I meant) and 80% of your post is about attacking me as a person (or math) instead of discussing the essence.

Try to discuss the essence, and don't wrongly accuse people who disagrees with you with 'hostility' plus your ad hominem. Still, take a rest and have a great 2017, I value your contributions to open source.

Generally the ip addresses would be selected by host groups (eg: all) - and if "firewall-command" was the canonical way to add rules, that'd probably be what eg Ansible would run on each platform.

An argument might be made that this would live better in a (templated or not) config file in version control - and then the action become: fill in template, push config, (re)load config.

In this case, for Ansible, you'd probably try to use command (there's also she'll, but simple is better - when possible): http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/command_module.html
Thanks for your project description, I've got a similar issue with aframe which is too low-level for me.

There are also less than 1/3 the deaths per car mile traveled in the USA today compared to 1980, and cars today produce dramatically less air pollution.
Yes, actually I'd like to better understand what China does do with their state control of social media.

Clearly you can explicitly suppress certain political views. But I think there's probably a lot more you could do. For example, down rank content that while not banned, is seen as undesirable.

Beyond that, I'm sure there are many other forms of social manipulation which a state which wishes to control their population could apply.

The way North Korea uses watermarking to track the progress of file distribution is kind of interesting. But nothing compared to the psychological manipulation you could do with a social network.

Many Lisp implementations are in the speed range of SBCL. When you look at such an application, the super optimized part of the code is not that large. Equally, if not more, important is the robustness of the runtime system against all kinds of errors, the speed and responsiveness of the memory management system and the speed of compiled code which runs with full safety checks. Also if a Lisp system would use much of CLOS, the speed of the CLOS implementation and the library one writes with CLOS becomes important.

If there are speed problems in an application like Stumpwm with the current Lisp systems, it is definitely not the raw micro-bench speed that's a problem, but more likely something else (architecture, threading, GC, event handling, bugs, ...).
Unlicensed drone transmitters a danger to Air Traffic. ARRL Report [pdf]
This whole diversity stuff is complete trendy nonsense!

If a company seriously apply diversity to their hiring strategy then it actually means that at some point they must turn down some higher skilled candidate #1 in order to hire some lower skilled candidate #2 just because they have too few employees with the same gender which candidate #2 has.

In this case, a company put skills at the secondary role which means that they praise mediocrity, not talent.

You will be wrong if you argue, that a company don't have to prefer lower skilled candidate over higher skilled candidate just because they need to keep gender diverse teams. Because if it were possible, then highly skilled teams were already naturally gender diverse and then whole diversity talk won't exist in the first place.

Don't get me wrong, as a male, I'm sick that vast majority of software engineers are male. It really sucks! It's a biggest single thing I don't like about my profession. But unfortunately it's how it is. Let's face the truth, most women are not interested in software engineering at all. In companies where I worked we had a few female software engineers, they were just as good as male engineers, no difference at all. But they were not hired because of their gender but because of their coding skills.

Don't listen retarded third-wave feminists yelling about discrimination. Software engineering probably is the most meritocratic profession ever. Nobody cares about your degree (I don't have one!), citizenship, ethnicity or gender. Contribute to open source, participate in algorithm competitions, make your personal projects on GitHub and you will be noticed for sure whoever you are! It's because of a great shortage of good software developers in the market and companies are desperate to hire anyone who is able to solve their technical interview challenges.
> If they pardon him, they say it's alright to release national secrets based on "feelings" (even if it's morally correct to do so, they can't have that).

You're missing an important point IMHO. If the NSA is an organisation that works on behalf of the US citizens then he is a hero and the US gov should give him a metal. Right before that, they need to create a sort of structure which allows these guys to express their concerns without being sidelined.

If the NSA is an organisation serving the government (or some other more sinister group of people) disregarding US Citizens then you're right.

The biggest reason I believe they will not pardon Snowden is to keep the sentiment among three-letter agency officials that he is a traitor because [reasons] and the government doesn't want to go against these guys because they hold the keys to a very dangerous infrastructure that I believe is developing an agenda (and has a mind) of it's own.

ps. I might totally off, that's just my take from what I see from far and beyond.

Assuming the FSB didn't recruit him before his defection to Russia.

If they didn't, and he stumbled "by accident" into Russia, they don't need to "break" him at all, having all the leverage they could possible want.
Is there proof HE broke the law? Only an allegation that SOMEONE broke the law. When does it become his duty to prove innocence?

Also, you're missing the point.
Most people throughout the history of agricultural societies have been landless peasants working as serfs for the local lord.

After spending a few days poking around trying to get the I2S block going, abomination is the right word for the processor. If only because of the severe lack of documentation and support.

Your point that the pi board provides educational value despite the frustratingly obtuse abomination at the core is valid though.
Not entirely, right?

Employer provided healthcare is an artifact of ww2 where employee compensation was practically frozen. Employers looked for other ways to create competitive compensation, and turned to healthcare.

A prerequisite to that book is understanding objects and pointers. With that I mean how they are represented in actual memory. We don't have to deal with those details when using HLLs. E.g the book talks a lot about "slots" but it is useless unless you understand how a slot and how a reference to a slot is implemented.

Therefore firm knowledge of C is required. Then when you have that knowledge, you can build an object model. I suggest starting with just two simple types: array and integer objects.

Then you can implement simple memory management. The easiest is probably to begin with reference counting. After you have that, continue with mark and sweep, copying collection and more advanced techniques.

Thanks, looked into it further on my own project and found my specific issue. The svg width and height attributes were missing from my webpack-built bundle even though they were part of the source svg file. The svg loader I was using (svg-inline-loader) was stripping with and height by default.

Yes, this is how it works in the UK. Basically you have to shop yourself, or if you were not the driver then the person who was driving, to the authorities. If you don't, then you have committed an offence. Presumably this approach does not work in the US due to the 5th amendment. And from the article it looks like other approaches that are being tried in the US are also unconstitutional.
Good on the author. We need people with the time and money to fight bad precedent to do so. The people who designed the red light camera system in Chicago understand this and pushed the camera install sites to poorer neighborhoods with higher concentrations of people of color.

Well balanced. And keep in mind that much of the emerging web users across the world are on mobile connections, which, even if using 3G or 4G or higher, are in practice much slower than advertised and latency ridden, due to load and outright corruption by the service providers. Not to mention metered bandwidth is still the norm outside select areas.
Thank you, this is terrific!
And progress on: Strobing and low pixel persistance to remove blur (blurbusters.com)
And reduced latency to prevent motion sickness.
That is some solid advice right there. Thanks.
> What are some bashisms that you find particularly useful? I wonder if I can just reproduce them in POSIX.

Mostly [[ vs old [/test, advanced parameter expansion/substitution, arrays and maybe local variables.

It's been rather long since I attempted to get some dark magic working in posix shell - so I'm not entirely sure.

Either way, any proper scripting language will be more ergonomic to work in when you've reached beyond trivial (which posixcube already has).

There are simply too many anti-patterns to check for - too easy to miss quoting etc.

Python isn't great for (posix) system automation - but it's pretty good. And now I can trust all my systems to have python3. Then I feel it a bit hard to use shell beyond simple "command1, command2, command3"-type simple automation.

That said, it can be great fun to weave pipes and inputs in she'll, when you get it working. But as you've pointed out error handling with complex pipes isn't very good - and as always it's better to keep things simple, when possible.
mbasic.facebook.com is nice for when you want to save the bandwidth, but the experience is nowhere near as nice as the main website. It only loads the first 2 stories or so, requiring you to click forward many times.

It also downscales all the media down, making it hard to appreciate a lot of things.

The main facebook site makes a lot of media requests to preload the things you're going to start reading immediately.

the main facebook site doesn't attempt to scale to the connection speed, which is unfortunate, but it offers a much better experience for those who have the bandwidth to pull in the pictures. Especially for the primary use case (scroll a bunch to see a bunch of people's stuff)
It don't think the Gov doing that will make a dent in online prostitution because everything is set up so quickly online (on a smart phone). They'll (sex workers) just set up posts in local ads and continue like nothing happened.
The captcha is just using Google's Recaptcha service. Yeah, I don't think the ad revenue will pay for the cost, but I set myself a challenge and managed to get something working quickly.

It's built using Aurelia for the client-side and Node.js for the backend using Restify to create a quick REST API for handling the requests.
Just because they're "trying to innovate" doesn't mean the ideas will be any good, though. Yes, inertia and resistance to the new are a thing, that doesn't mean bad ideas aren't :)

Opera has a well established history of innovating web browsing. So many features we consider normal and must-have in modern browsers were pioneered by Opera. The innovation kind of stopped and a lot of features disappeared when they fired the Presto team and switched to webkit, unfortunately.

Google on the other hand, has a well established history of developing a pretty great idea and then at some point begin making it shittier with each update.

This may be a bias of an old Opera fanboy / IMHO; If you consider innovative features, between Opera (frozen just before they ditched Presto), versus where Chrome has innovated and been developed to today--Developer tooling maybe, but from a user point of view? Nowhere even close. Especially if you consider what was taken away (but then, the entire Presto engine and many of its unique features were taken away too).

Opera has had more of a "Yes, and" approach to innovation, but still they (barely) managed to avoid the "kitchen sink" problem. Old features almost never went away. I used to think the built-in torrent client was unnecessary bloat, but in hindsight was that really a bad idea? Main problem was torrent protocol itself was a bit heavy for computers at the time, making it feel bloaty. Unlike the built in IRC client, which was just another lightweight browser tab unlike Chrome (or Firefox) could ever manage. Still, Opera was also famous for it's tiny executable size.
Makes sense. I read it as referring to people doing the reverse engineering work initially.
I signed it. Proud to be counted publicly. The oath of office that President Obama took demands that he pardon a whistleblower responsible for revealing massive violations of the Constition

The very concept of "setting an example" by not pardoning him is evil. Every case should be judged on its on merits and Snowden's case will be judged by history quite favorably.

Obama should have pardoned him and appointed him the NSA's Director of Compliance

Instead we have continued and increased violations of our rights as Americans.

Of course, the real problem is that Americans don't learn about principles, history, or civic duty in any serious way.

Most Americans don't really care if the government violates their rights because they don't really know what they are or why they're important. This can change quickly though, thanks to technology. I think the tide will turn soon.
Thanks for the heads up, sorry it didn't work. I'll test it out and see if I can see the problem.

Nope, it's just quicker. Also, my menu bar is hidden and I don't know how to get to it.
I think the distinction here is framing it as a specific, individual injustice to be fought against, rather than an unfortunate symptom of certain complex dynamics in our society.

It seems to me that the former is the less useful mode of analysis for long-term problem solving.

Given Obama having just expanded the NSA's powers[1] just before leaving office, it would be out of character for him to pardon Snowden.

Nope. You're wrong. If someone rents my house and murders someone in it by drowning someone in the bathtub, I am not liable unless I had a reasonable expectation that the house was procured for the purpose of murder.

If traffic cameras, are in fact, used as evidence for a civil case, then the aggrieved party much show damages as well as having standing. Without damages, there is no civil case.

As far as following the law -- I completely agree; let's start with the biggest law there is -- the Constitution. The Constitution trumps all else, not the least some financially challenged municipality looking for a revenue source using legal gymnastics to prosecute a "civil violation of a criminal law.." whatever the hell that means.

The other aspect of your comment: "you know they were speeding".. that isn't his problem. It's up to the state to prove that a crime was committed by a person charged. The city only has evidence that "a specific car was speeding." That's like saying a specific gun was used to commit a murder.. however that doesn't mean there is evidence that the owner committed the crime.. it doesn't even rise to the level of probable cause without other corroborating evidence.

Did the police actually investigate the speeding? Did they ask the owner who could have been the one driving the car? Was there an investigation at all? No. The police never charged, nor interrogated the owner of the car, nor did they consult with witnesses. The city failed to prove any case. The police officer even admitted to perjury. To be fair, I suspect the cop finds this whole exercise ridiculous as well -- he understands that he is being used as a revenue agent of the city rather than someone to protect people and property from harm.

The whole thing is a Kafkesque farce and I actually appreciate the taxpayer money that this law professor 'wasted' -- if everyone did this, the costs of maintaining an unjust system would outweigh the benefits.
Opera has or used to have a user styles feature, that you can use to do something similar, I used to dump the sites CSS and use my own.
It also has a disable images button.
I can see 8 stories on each page on mine, but I agree the images are smaller than I'd like. You have to click the image to get to the image page and then click "View Full Size" to see the full image. But with vimperator, it's much faster to get to that point than it sounds. On the other hand, simply clicking on videos delivers the full raw video, no slow Facebook video player/wrapper needed.

I wouldn't want Facebook to scale things to my bandwidth. That gives me less control over what I see because the system is making mostly arbitrary decisions for me.
So, here are seven US states where it's illegal for an atheist to be governor: https://thehumanist.com/news/national/unelectable-atheists-u...

That it's a first-amendment violation doesn't change the fact that atheists aren't allowed - until the laws are successfully challenged and voided (not exactly a trivial task), they're still valid. Just like any other form of censorship.

You're also wrong about the head of state thing. The head of state in the UK has to be Church of England, because the head of state there is also the head of the church. The dominion countries don't care, as they don't have an official state religion.

Note also that the Queen doesn't actually do anything in Australia at all (or Canada or New Zealand). The Governor-General performs Lizzie's political duties in Australia, and there's no requirement to be C of E for that office. The current G-G in Aus is Sir Peter Cosgrove, who is a practising Roman Catholic.

In the US, the home mortgage interest deduction does not apply to rental properties. To qualify for the deduction, you either have to use the home as your residence for a minimum period each year, or rent only part of it (and meet requirements for renting part of the home: you can't have more than two tenants, and the part of the home they live in can't have its own separate kitchen or toilet facilities).
I understand the concern. Websites can become too bloated. They can require too many resources or be poorly optimized to reduce bandwidth.

But this also seems like complaining about the trouble with driving a horse-drawn carriage on the interstate. Sure, there are lots of people around the world still on low speed networks - just like there are people who still use horses are their primary mode of travel. And maybe there should be a way to accommodate them, but let's not pretend that the advances in website technology are only a detrimental problem that needs to be solved.
