Ubuntu 17.04. Is that recent enough for you?

I've tried antergos, red hat and a couple of others, all with similar issues. Many I didn't get far with because I simply couldn't read the login screen. Antergos doesn't even have user switching working out of the box but it was the only one that supported my graphics card until very recently. I used the gnome variant of each.
It just feels hacky to do it the way author suggested. You can just invoke all the files in cmdline, swift *.swift to same effect I think.
We don't actually know how well Coinbase is doing just that they seem to still be regularly raising money and doing it from weird places.
>None of those things seem particularly modern to me. Does swift actually have any concepts that weren't already implemented in other languages by say, 1980?

Modern for mainstream languages. Non-mainstream languages are irrelevant to the discussion, since nobody cares about theme except niche industries, hobbyists and academics...

>but the flip side is - why not learn older, simpler, more mature languages that already have those concepts?

Because those languages are not tied to a $50 billion app industry or have major adoption and increased support.
I think I may go AMD (again) for this very reason.

(Generally, I don't think ECC actually does matter that much for us casual/home users, but I like to reward the people who actually do make it easy to "do the right thing". Same deal as only purchasing AMD graphics cards since 2005-ish(?).)
Thank you for the link - exactly what I was searching !
Let's say for the purposes of arguing though, that Trump or members of the Trump administration are removed by way of the Russia investigation. I guess it all works on a case by case basis, but generally speaking, how would that affect the FCC chair's standing?
There's also an aspect of "capitalist tough-love".

Sometimes companies do have resources for fixes and for general security-quality, but they don't budget or prioritize because there's no strong economic incentive.
SIGSERV is basically a page fault in userspace. Its just named differently. The user mode linux kernel port makes use of it in exactly this way.

Another use case would be a massive one to one hash table. You allocate the address space and when you fault on it you load data from a database on demand and continue execution.

If that's correct, the math is simple: you have bit flips in your PC about once a day.

It's just that (a) you often won't notice those transient errors (one pixel in your multi-megapixel photo is one bit off) and (b) a lot of your RAM is probably unused.
>A pattern I have seen too often.

And I have not seen ever. I have seen some C games (like Quake) but never worked on one. And I've been working in games since 90s.

>Sony does use C# a lot on their internal tools.

And now we are in the theretory of "console games are written on PC!!!1! So there!". Sony also uses Perl and Python on their servers and their movie studios use a lazy evaluated shader language. Does it mean games are switching to any of these soon to you?

>Nintendo uses Unity for prototyping.

And probably play Pokemon Go, also written in Unity! I see the pattern now... it's all clear.

>Microsoft and Google are using Unity and Unreal a lot for their VR work.

Listen. Unity has it's uses. If anything it keeps indies off the streets and provides artists with a way to earn a quick buck. I am not against Unity. It's just silly to imagine it has any chance competing with the traditional game industry tools. Saying so and so uses unity for something, which is not a game does not make the point I imagined you arguing here. Which is C# displacing C++ in games. Elon Musk likely uses Unity so there. Can't beat the old Musk.

But it still does not matter anything at all for the people who had been writing games in C++.
If the energy density in a fixed volume of space gets too high it collapses into a black hole. That seems to suggest that there is a kind of limit to temperature.

I think there's a good case to be made for being explicit in Go although it may feel like a step backwards when Go has a GC.

In C# where pointers are implicit, if you need to pass function parameters by reference you need to prefix them with the `ref` or `out` keywords depending on if they are supposed to be read-write or write-only. In Java, you need to wrap them with objects.

Then comes the arrays. In C#, they are references passed by value by default. Not references passed by reference, which still needs the `ref` keyword. So array content changes will be seen by the caller by default, but not full reassignments.

I think it can easily start to get confusing when you start to think about the details in what the language does under the hood, and all that only because of trying to steer clear from an innocent * character here and there. A character that also serves to inform and remind readers of the code what is going on, what the intent of the code is. And again, it's not as if other similar GC'ed languages can avoid this either. There always comes a point where the compiler must know. In Go's case I think the designers just chose the path to second guess less and just leave it to the user for less compiler magic.

Vivaldi add green search engine Ecosia as default option
I had a strange internship topics involving Ada. I tried to run a huge program (a simple stdio wrapper around a huge library actually) on an Android machine (Android 2.3, ARM). At that time, the only ADA compiler for ARM was available on BSD so I had used a Windows machine for development and a OpenBSD laptop for compiling the wrapper.

The subtyping feature I love the most. You see the benefit when you need to call a function which is taking many numeric arguments, all of them is a subtype so you can't give the arguments in the wrong order (latitude and longitude for example).
Someone asked the other day about how to get your first 100 users. I guess if you posted to each of these, that might (optimistically) do it.

While it may not be bad advice, it's also interesting to note how a lawyer basically explains that you should always pay a lawyer.

In my very expensive experience with lawyers I have to say that they only care about my needs about 20% of the time, and usually these 20% happen before I sign their contract.

As much as it's probably correct to not fully trust an FBI agent it's also probably correct to not fully trust a lawyer. One needs to be able to defend oneself to a certain degree.

You probably have the right to be silent. But at the same time you also have to comply with commands from officers, and if your silence makes problems to them it may also be a crime in itself.

Not sure if this applies (not a lawyer, not even in the US) but usually in that kind of situation you have protection in one direction but then they can just apply pressure from another.
"The Drone Wars"

Joke aside, is not far from being a real tactic, deploying the so-called "defender" drones, which are guided by a autonomous system, fed by an array of sensors around the perimeter.

I can see myself developing such a system.

I think one of the barriers to 'networking' is there is just so much to cover... Worse still, some of what is considered 'networking' is proprietary technology catered to an environment that uses a particular vendor.

That makes the resources that aren't proprietary extremely detailed and muddy, to cover things the proprietary tech shines up at a high level.

Therefore, my suggestion for 'learning networking' is to just do it. Set up a LAN at home. Solve the problems as you come across them.

Someone at my place of work took this approach, and I thought it made me smile when he said he had this great idea about how he could automatically distribute IP addresses to terminals instead of manually setting them up. I told him about DHCP! Learning by going through the motions.

Incidentally, I picked up a copy of a CCNA study guide and the concept of DHCP wasn't covered until 1/3 through the book, after OSI was covered and other low-level topics.
Personally I don't want you to have to. As far as I'm concerned, if you're notified in big, red letters (perhaps every time the software starts)? Works for me. As long as you know -- and are reminded. (That's because different people use the same software. If the notice only appeared once, a new person might start using the software/machine and not be aware of what's going on)

But if you had a piece of software with a terrible vulnerability that was currently being exploited to do some sort of terrible harm? Beats me. Does my right to use the internet without being DDOSed override your right to use unsafe software if you want?

TouchRemove is currently available free and in open beta: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.genewarrio...

TouchRemove let's you easily erase unwanted objects from your pictures (think Photoshop's content-aware fill). The implementation is inspired by the PatchMatch inpaint algorithm; it's quite an interesting project to get it to work acceptably using the computing power of a mobile device.

I'm looking for feedback regarding the performance (it's a fine balance between the quality of results and computation time), handling, any errors and possible improvements in general.

Any comments are appreciated, directly in this thread or contact@genewarrior.com

American Telecom companies have demonstrated that they will follow model 2.

Its very surprising that people argue about these businesses in the hypothetical.

America has only a few Telecom players. They will remain a few telecom players because fundamentally telecom has deep barriers to entry.

And these players have a long history of hugely anti consumer moves, laziness, deceit, cabal like behavior.

I really do not understand this, and hope someone can shed light on it.

Why do people talk about these firms, and trust them to act as model businesses.

1) Are many americans unaware of the history of malifide actions by telecom firms? (colluding to drive down prices during auctions, not building the network they were given tax breaks too, already existent rent seeking behavior and attitudes)

2) Is there some other principle that they believe these firms will follow, that overrides the obvious business incentive to cheat?

I don't get it.

That's what I mean by government bonds being in a special place; like a balloon pushed underwater by the ever escalating central banking interventions of the last decades.

And it's not just in US history, we may be talking about all of history. And not just on the short end. In 2016, a country like Belgium, where the government has huge unfunded liabilities, was able to borrow on 10yrs for around 0.2%. Japan is even worse.

The price of all credit ultimately relates back to these bonds. That's why the entire financial market is setting new records, for the 3rd time in 20 years. That's why in some sectors being profitable is once again not being considered as important as various metrics of "growth potential". And, to get back to Robinhood, that's why they can offer margin trading rather cheaply to the masses.

It's a massive bubble, and some comments here reflect that. The only thing we can't know is when it finally pops and where the epicentre will be this time.

(My guess would be somewhere in the nexus between ETFs and the bond market. Throw in bipolar, on/off liquidity and high volatility-of-volatility caused by modern versions of program trading-style hedging and HFT and you can have a panic with a whole new look and feel.)

It's such a pity these days there is no modern tool chain/workflow for Ada (or C++ for that matter). I mean, a package manager, a build tool with integrated dependencies. As far as I know, there is very little open source software for Ada. It's a shame, because I feel like the language would become more mainstream, if only better tooling was easily available.

It's not only a language that is key to success. Libraries. I searched for LDAP support for ADA (old protocol used by many companies). I found library (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/adaldap/) with latest news from 2002 and CVS repo :)
Then I search for SNMP (another dinosaur still in wildly use) - similar result.

Second - many solutions/libraries are purely commercial. You need basic open protocols support by default /free. Otherwise such great language will still be at it's niche.

Using a phased array you can "lens" a signal fairly effectively. Aside from this, you could use multiple transmitters that are fairly low power on their own, but in a combined and targeted shot could deliver a knockout blow to a drone.

I suggested a decade ago that Net Neutrality rules could be foregone, but one important caveat is needed, that no charges to consumers or producers be levied in respect to violating net neutrality i.e. a producer can't pay to have their packets move faster/slower. That's the only way to prevent abuses which are essentially extortion.

Without that rule, the ISPs will invest money into new networks...but it will have negative consumer value and a lot of rent-seeking or pure extortion value for the ISPs.

Packet-based systems are so efficient that some sort of QoS packet routing makes no sense technically in respect to the overhead of brand new networking schemes. Unbiased packet routing is doing just great streaming HD videos on Netflix to 100 million people worldwide, and will continue to do great. The more fundamental problem is that the bottlenecks are at the last mile and there is NO WAY that Verizon is going to lay two cables to your home, one fast lane for important traffic, and another slow lane!! Without last mile investment, there can not be any meaningful technical gains from violating net neutrality.

ISPs want to get rid of net neutrality in order to extort money from Google, Facebook, Netflix and others. Netflix is already paying an extortion fee to Verizon who threatened them with slower speeds if they didn't pay up.

The government's job is to insure that markets are fair and that effective monopolies don't abuse their power, through simple regulations. ISPs and Telco.s have regularly demonstrated for over a hundred years that they HAVE TO BE REGULATED...we would not have an internet or an inter-operable phone network if governments all over the world did force these companies to talk to other networks! The breakup of AT&T just over two decades ago (seems much longer!) was tremendous in spurring on lower costs and competitors in telecommunications.

I had my doubts, that perhaps he had some broader plan which would magically enforce NN without having to over reach.

But then his article came out, and it was just filled with FUD and misinformation.

I doubt that he is a dull person, and that he reached the FCC by projecting an air of deep incompetence.

It follows that he knows full well that what he says is incorrect, and says it because he knows it will appeal to his core target. I assume this is his run up for either political position, or a cushy job in telecom.
That was my point. The fact that you can fiddle with it to change undocumented stuff should not be brought up as something negative.
