Not my field but I don't understand the rationale behind choosing Rust. Given the performance and security concerns wouldn't Ada be the natural choice here?

Win 10 Pro, I was using an Ultrabook but just upgraded to a Surface Pro i7 16GB. The strength of machine depends on how complex your 3D models and build chain are, and whether you're running the emulator. The emulator needs 8GB RAM and two cores to itself.

I have the hololens on about half the time. So I've spent a ton of time in it.

Yes surprisingly the Hololens is "just" an x86 Windows compile target. I've found a lot of software that "just works" as long as the UI isn't hardcoded.
This is simply not true! There exist deterministic garbage collectors suitable for realtime applications. For hard real time you probably don't want to be using dynamic allocation at all -- after all, malloc/free (or kmalloc) is non-deterministic too (unless you're using something like TLSF).

This is really interesting thanks.

Doesn't this lead to the most highly used static assets being pushed for every subsequent request? Isn't that wasteful?

I use varnish cache extensively and am considering writing a probabilistic server push module. It could keep track of subsequent requests and push the next set of assets. This is more of a server module approach rather than client side.

Any thoughts on that?
I always buy appliances that are mid-to-lower range. There's none of the over engineered smart technology and they last decades rather than years.

They do not have any reasonable expectation of acute needs.

As for a sense of safety, if you go to their campus (I have been there), you will feel very safe even if no police around.

Underwhelming, to say the least. I've had the opportunity to use HoloLens on many occasions, interacting with many different types of applications, and in many different environments. The extremely limited FOV cripples user experience and usability. There is no feeling of immersion whatsoever.

It's a fun proof of concept, but not much more.

I'm quite biased on the whole AR thing, as I worked at Meta for almost three years, but I think that the HoloLens is a fantastic piece of technology, and that Augmented Reality Head Mounted Displays will be the next big computing revolution.

Currently I'm working on a large HoloLens project for the aircraft industry. But the amount of possibilities I can think of with a HoloLens (or similar device) is limitless.

The HoloLens has amazing tracking and latency. In a couple more years, when HoloLens and/or competitors release a device with a large field of view, HoloLens-like tracking/latency, and leap motion-like hand recognition, it's going to be very exciting.
I've believed it's the future since long before I had a hololens, so I am biased. But to me AR is far more than glasses, AR should be a natural extension of human function for all senses.

People really don't like the concept that I can see a world they can't experience. Some people become offended. Making people feel comfortable has a long way to go, but as you mention kids start with no preconceived notions so this may not be a stigma for future generations.
Thanks a lot for the advice. I will dig into your comment more later on this week.

I'll point out to you, as I did another poster, that the word esoteric doesn't mean "mysterious" or "spiritual". it means "only understood by those with specialized knowledge".

additionally I would refute your claim that the subconscious (or really anything to do with consciousness) is well understood by science. it is acknowledged as being a thing that exists and just as readily acknowledged as being a thing that is poorly understood, at least from a materialist science perspective.

the models of consciousness that produce more thorough and well-explored theories tend to come from spiritual traditions, such as Buddhism, rather than materialist traditions.
A lot of people are into the "functional JS!!1!!1!!" hype and blindly dislike anything related to OOP with little information.

I am only focusing on this bit because it is a few extra seconds of work if you are going to have a hardware token anyway. Why expose your TOTP secret if you don't have to?

I like knowing that if the phones and laptops of someone on my team were compromised, we have some damage control.

With the approach Yubico Authenticator takes an attacker with remote access to your Android Phone and a keylogger on your laptop still can't log in as you remotely.

Granted with more effort that combo can burn you in other ways, but TOTP on a hardware token still gives you some very real reduction in attack surface with no real added user burden. Why not?
I'm not sure they will ever implement it actually. Nginx does not support HTTP/2 server push as of March 2017 (v1.11).

Owen Garrett at nginx has summarized the reasons as follows:

- it is a non-essential and optional part of http/2

- if the client already has the resource cached, then by pushing it to them you might be unnecessarily wasting bandwidth.

- server push spec might change in the future.

- Link headers as hints is useful, but usage has been low from web developers.

- server push has been available as part of SPDY and was not utilized by many web developers.

Read his original comments here[1]. This table[2] accurately describes the pro's and con's of server hints vs server push.

Personally this disappoints me because I think this would be a valuable feature for web developers willing to invest the time to optimize page speeds. I also know that some large CDN's like Cloudflare have implemented their own version within nginx to optimize page downloads.

I don't know, maybe I have been lucky, but I don't get that so much. I get very infrequent recruiter contact, but when they do contact me, they seem to have at least done a little homework. Usually they have the domain/technologies right, and they have made an effort to match skills with the role. My biggest complaint is that once in a while they get the job level way wrong. I've got nearly 20 years under my belt, and I still get approached for individual contributor "seventh engineer from the left" type roles. But that's not a huge deal, just politely decline. I also get a lot of "I see you are doing $ROLE at $COMPANY_1. How would you like to do the exact same $ROLE at $COMPANY_2?" which are not interesting to me but how are they supposed to know that?

I've never been called or harassed by a recruiter, and I try to get back to every one, if only for politeness sake. No reason to burn bridges. If they got the match a little wrong, no big deal--they're not wizards and mind readers.

Depends on your requirements. A hard real-time system discourages any form of dynamic memory management, let alone GC. There are soft real-time GC implementations, but they are fairly special beasts. I wouldn't consider any non-soft-real-time GC implementation "badly designed".

I get the point about reference counting, but I should point out it depends on the data structure you are dealing with. If you've got a tree-like or list-like data structure with reference counted pointers everywhere, then yes that can cause nondeterministic delays. But if you're reference counting a flat structure containing no reference-counted pointers, or contains some reference counted pointers, but doesn't allow for arbitrarily deep data structures, reference counting delays are completely deterministic. In many cases that can be faster than GC, and definitely uses less memory. Point still stands about the safety issue, there are quite a few CVEs having to do with not properly decrementing the reference count, though C++ shared_pointer and Rusts Rc<> make that safer.

> In this case, no one is "coming for" anyone, but when one religion is asking for special rights, that makes me pause. When the ACLU is against it, that really makes me pause.

The Establishment Clause precludes the government from establishing a state religion, or preventing the free exercise of any religion. Of course there is a tension between those two prongs: when you have a government sponsored activity, allowing religious organizations to participate raises the concern of appearing to confer official government sanction to the religion. On the other hand, prohibiting religious organizations from participating in a government-sponsored activity that is open to non-religious organizations is a burden on the free exercise of religion.

The ACLU tends to focus on the establishment prong and ignore the free exercise part, which in my opinion is incorrect. If the Establishment Clause was just about "separation of church and state" (which is what Jefferson believed), it would say that. But the actual language was a compromise among many people, many religious, and protects the "free exercise" of religion. The ACLU tends to see Establishment Clause violations where religious organizations are permitted to participate in activities open to non-religious organizations (and for various reasons, operating private police forces is something non-religious organizations are permitted to do). But precluding such participation would of course single out religious organizations for different treatment and thus burden the free exercise of religion.

If it wasn't for the "armed" part, I'd consider this at the same level as a neighbourhood watch, mall cops, or private security guards - really nothing sensational about it, and with some church communities having tens of thousands of people, it's really not odd to have some kind of security.

And since it's America, going from security to armed security is a small step. Right to bear arms and such.

> Full on virtual desktop support with floating windows for these devices is being shipped to every Windows 10 machine starting this week via Windows Update

How well will this work though? Virtual desktops exist for the Oculus Rift and the Vive but from what I understand, the limited resolution doesn't make it a great experience, and can't really replace monitors yet for text heavy work.
But there is a reason they have the wake names they have - they're unique and don't sound like other phrases. I recall reading something about how Alexa was chosen because "ah-LECK-sah" is a very unique sound. I strongly suspect this is why we have "oh-kay Google" and not just "Google".

So if people have to choose their own, they'll have to choose one that is also not easily mistaken. Something tells me that would be a very annoying process.
They're having problems producing a build that passes the user acceptance tests locally.

It's not amazing because they're not showing anything except what appear to be fake, marketing videos. They've always been cagey with the HoloLens and what it was actually like and it looks like they're continuing down that line.

Have done significant work for it (source: work in consulting) and its feeling like a new paradigm much more than VR or anything else. Biggest thing is the "layer on the virtual world" onto what you are looking at.

I would say info isn't that sparse (as it used to be). Search the Holographic Academy, watch their youtube channel, and subscribe to the Windows MR blog/newsletter.

In contrast to many typed languages, currently in Typescript, you can't do any kind of reflection so runtime really has no access to the type system.

Rust is certainly interesting but it's very new and it still has a way to go to achieve the breadth of hardware support it needs to replace C/C++.

C is a thin layer over hardware. There is a reason it hasn't yet been replaced despite waves of new, safer, more powerful paradigms and languages.

While its hold has (thankfully) been eroded for the higher-levels of abstraction needed in user-facing apps today, C/C++ are still king on low-level hardware because there is basically little to no overhead compared to any other safe language.

If you need to get your code on a 8/16/24 and even most 32 bits microcontrollers, there is not a lot of choice.

Maybe Rust will eventually have enough backends, debugging tools and hardware vendor support on all theses 1000s of platforms to offer a compelling alternative, but it's disingenuous to claim you have to be a historian to study C when it's still one of the most used languages today and virtually all the hardware you own has most -if not all- of its code written in C/C++.

Rust may not be able to replace all of C's niches. It will -and I hope it does- replace C/C++ in many areas of development, but it's premature to call for the death of C when the alternative is still in its infancy.

You should definitely study C, then Rust and use what your place of work will let you use because most of the time, it's not your decision anyway.
Yes, also they say that performance is not important so it's kind of weird argument - but it's just 64kB of RAM to juggle, GC is not a good idea, no?

It is very much in the interest of these indirect middlemen, the third-party advertising networks, to obfuscate the direct connection/signal between advertising and buying products, while on the other hand trying to make this connection seem as favourable as possible, to both sides (publisher and product-advertiser). So they work to remain in full control of this evidence and which parts of it are shown to either party. I don't want to imply they are lying (not without proof, anyway) but it's a very open secret that are very selective in how and what information they reveal to which of the two sides they are middlemen between.

It kind of seems like an arbitrage situation. But if I understand correctly, those are only good as long as they naturally "deflate" and sort restore balance back. Instead, there is some information-hiding going on that artificially props up this situation at cost for everyone but the third-party ad industry and middlemen. I think that situation is not very good.
