When Typescript came, I was like. Yay! Someone made JS become AS3 like. That's when I seriously got into javascript. Flash could do some amazing things back in the day, They had GPU accelerated graphics, microphone, image manipulation, video, and a whole host of other things that HTML didn't have. I think Flash inspired browsers to do better.

Now it can die happily.
I've seen some beautiful work done in Flash but the costs were always very high for both producers and their clients.
How do I view them? Maybe it's because I'm on mobile, but I'm having trouble navigating to the actual images.

Edit: ok if I understand correctly, you need to visit the linked web site, visit each linked repo, and pull each one down? Could you provide a web page with previews, or would the resolution lose all visual differences?
But if one is going the "insert a key" route, could one not go for "insert the bullet" instead?
Arguably the biggest social problem to effect public space is massive amounts of car traffic. That causes orders of magnitude more problems than any of the things you mentioned. Our most important public spaces are overrun by cars that mix well with nothing.
Are there any gun- and tech-literate people who actually think smart guns like this are a good idea? Anytime someone (cop or civilian) pulls a trigger in self defense, they do so as a last resort. Not a time when you want to be worrying about whether you have your smart watch or if you changed the batteries in your firearm.
I do not understand. Sorry.
Stewbrew might love this one. I often bookmark groups of tabs. For example, there are 6 spec documents (on my local disk) that I used every day for the last month or so. I middle click on that folder, and boom! 6 new tabs right there ready for me to read.

There's no use trying to change people's behavior. And this particular one really shouldn't need to be defended. Some people have simpler workflows than mine. Ahem...
History has not been kind to proprietary networking protocols, and it's winning at scale rarely about just technical advantages. I know they have opened up more in the past year or two, but it may be too late.

I refine my comment to capture BTLE as one of the protocols going forward, in addition to wifi.
I've been thinking about building API's for interaction with the off chain world, it seems like this is something with interest?
Node raises 10.8M to find you better sales leads
That's a pretty big leap to make.
Absolutely agree. I have a z-wave alarm, and often times the automation rule will turn the alarm off, but will leave the strobe on. Sometimes lights will no turn on (or off). Sometimes some door sensors will report to be open when they are not.... it is a complete mess.
In decision trees more than half of the optimization time is spent doing sorting (sorting the set at each node to find the optimal splitting for the key at that node), in neural nets it's almost all matrix multiplies. That's where the speedup difference comes in the CPU v GPU comparison.
A potter friend once told me that archaeologists have used the marks potters put on their pieces (i.e., stamps that individuals used to "sign" their work) to figure out trade routes between ancient civilizations.

Kind of puts "old timers" in perspective...
On the subject, worth reading Charlie Stross' blog post, 'How low (power) can you go?' [1] and its potential impact on urban architecture and environments.

Can't we simply punish the scammers, so as to warn others not to do the same? Generally speaking the regulation of the markets doesn't do all that much to protect individual investors. We just (sometimes, rarely) punish people after the fact. How many regular investors got screwed in 2008 and how many people went to jail?
I mean write my own script to turn on/off the switch such as using wget or libcurl
I'll preface this by saying that I love radare2. It's my goto tool when I don't need to share work with IDA/Binja users and don't need to decompile something.

The radeco project is a train wreck. The current state of radeco-lib (unless it's been remediated in the last month) is disappointing and the only reason it compiles is because the last SoC student appears to have commented out the bindings that radeco is meant to use to get radeco-lib to do anything. I actually spent an evening attempting to undo that absurd series of commits but after getting a lot of the commented out back in place, not being a Rust programmer, hit roadblocks I did not understand regarding types and traits.

Unsolicited advice incoming. Please keep a close eye on your RSoC students this year. Their goals to achieve anything which they can present do not necessarily grok with the ongoing health of your project. I'd also love it if you would drop Rust and work with a more accessible language, at least while you work toward an initial version which spits out something resembling C code. Ultimately it's your project so do whatever you want but IMHO making everyone understand an inherently complex project in a language which is not straightforward is not the best option. Or at least add some documentation and make your lib and program build together...
As much as I love boxing and other sports, they are terrible for one's brain. The worst thing one can do is cause any damage to your brain as that dramatically effects quality of life.
>Thinking Forth. Nearly 35 years later it still probably dominates my approach.

That's interesting. Can you elaborate on why you think it dominates your approach? I'm interested because I had read a good amount of Starting Forth by Leo Brodie some years ago, and liked the language, and had played around with it a bit (only got access to a Forth system for a short time, so could not go deeply into it, on the practical side). But I remember liking the language. I don't think I have read Thinking Forth.

The Success of the Senate Is Important to the Continued Success of America
There are occasionally brilliant coders at 17 who produce things of beauty. It's wonderful to behold. They are rare.

Sometimes the fire of youth produces fantastic ideas that change our world. Their initial efforts, though raw and non-optimal, show a beautiful gleam that - through effort by more seasoned developers - is polished into something beautiful. These are more common, but still rare.

Most 17 year old coders however produce well intentioned awfulness that is technically poor, non-optimal, has security holes, and if it handles edge cases at all does so poorly - and that's the good stuff.

The kids work is valuable but mostly to them - they're still learning.. usually still learning the basics too.
I think bringing neuroscience and mindfulness into the mix is the way to go.

How it'll supplant is simple: tack it on to human-centric design, get companies applying HCD already to adopt it, and they can show the addiction-addicted companies how to make money in a more sustainable way.

Sell it to the capitalists by showing people can live longer if their well-being is higher.

Why we distribute C++ Libraries as source code
I came to JS after spending years in C# and Java, and so I liked the dynamically-typed nature of the language. It feels a lot freer, to me. Of course I understand why people think static typing is important, but going back to that way of denoting what everything is just seems so onerous.

But even regardless of that, what I really hate is how these typed JS variants introduce so much extra syntax and -- sorry for my phraseology -- crap into the language.

Here is an example of Flow:

declare function isMap(m: mixed): boolean %checks(m instanceof Map);

You can call that whatever you want, but JavaScript it ain't.
Given today's climate, that would be terrible.
You're right.

One of the most successful guns, the AK-47, was successful largely because of its simplicity.
The Vulkan version will really add a lot I think. I would guess most people are most interested in an OpenGL to Vulkan comparison. Similarly (possibly more interesting to people, I don't know?) the DirectX version.

Nice comparison.

How is it "ludicrous" for memossy to ask a question?

In short, the idea that people must be incompetent because they're in the government is pretty ludicrous.

The comment did not express that. It was mainly about transparency and communication.
For that matter, I'd be skeptical about what any bank employee says about the SEC lol. My mom had worked at a big bank for decades and is not always saying nice stuff... (But in context it's cus they make her life harder)
Brilliant. A gun without the bullet inserted, guaranteed 100% secure.

In which case I assume you're of the "taxes are an infringement on freedom" camp of extreme libertarian?
Yes, misrepresenting minor bumps in a downtrend as "crime is going up and out of control" is fear mongering. We saw this lie continually used in the presidential campaign to mislead the right into thinking crime is out of control when exactly the opposite is true. The current liar in chief did this continually.

Have you honestly never heard of an accidental shooting occurring? Heck, it seems like at least once or twice a year we hear about a parent being shot by their own toddler...

Trigger locks and smart guns are specifically intended to prevent these types of accidents.

The only people directly affected are people who have offered an "initial coin offering" (ICO) of pre-mined coins from a new cryptocurrency, in the U.S., without registering the offering with the SEC. This ruling is looking at ICOs specifically, not just anyone who has bought or sold cryptocurrency.
Yeah, this excerpt is hilarious:

"...our team transitioned the company to a new solution capable of reliably delivering over one million messages per day to tens of thousands of users, all in one unified chat environment."

Yep, totally no other chat apps capable of those incredibly high numbers /eyeroll
Yeah it's just a regular XO. There's some calibration data they stick in a special flash area at the factory that the radio firmware uses to handle temperature compensation for the chip's internal digital oscillator. I also believe you can run it in a XO-less mode with some caveats.
> Why shouldn't mom-and-pop get the choice to invest in SEC regulated companies?

When retail, i.e. unaccredited investors, get hurt (a) there are more of them and (b) it more often than not puts them into dire, sometimes existential, straits. The latter leads to political backlash and instability, e.g. the 1930s.

Basically, you must have a nest egg to act as a safety cushion before you can invest in risky things. This makes sense on another level, in that doing diligence on un-registered companies is expensive. That, in turn, drives a minimum practical investment size.
Tell that to WeChat, Alipay et al.
Good point, that's an actual positive difference in the watch system that I didn't think of at first. The watch "key" is always "in" for you and "out" for someone without the watch on.
If you're looking to reduce crime and/or deaths, there are many many more things to do before this will ever be relevant. Community outreach is far more effective in reducing violence than technology is.
I would say yes. :)
>What will happen when we lack those abilities because all we need to do is interact with our technology? Red lights need to be popping up all over the place.

It might not be entirely tinfoil to believe it would lead, in to the words of O'Brien, to this: "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever."

The vision put forward in 1984 was fundamentally enabled by a breakdown/loss of empathy, and that's our main ability that's gonna be lost if society develops in the way you've suggested.
I guess to me that comes off as a meaningless platitude. Ads on TV (and other mediums) absolutely do show new things, including each of the things I noted in the very comment you responded to.

Megacorps benefit from pushing brand, but they'd benefit even more from nobody being able to push brand, because they already have one established.

Thank you for sharing and running this. I'm super excited this exists and plan on applying.

One of the things I've finding difficult to find in my process is actually mentoring support. You can learn a lot from online resources, but often I have hit walls where I wish I could ask for help and guidance.

It'd be cool to a version of this with more defined mentoring path, especially for those who are new to the space!

Can you elaborate more? What specifically about offchain world?
Some of the radio handling bits on MSP430 would be more complex due to the lack of 32 bit support. There's also some third party firmware for e.g. the lowpwan stuff that's only available as Cortex binaries.

TI keeps trying to push their MSP432 cortex-M4 series on me as a replacement for MSP430. I guess they don't want to have customers go with a different vendor just because TI doesn't have an ARM solution that supports whatever code module or toolchain the customer wants to use.
From the examples:

int64_t puts = 0x4003e6;

void func_4003e0(int64_t rdi) {
goto puts;
}

What is this? Is there some compiler that will actually accept this use of goto? Is it just a convention meant for human consumption to translate jump instructions with no translated target? Is it a bug in the decompiler?
I'm not sure what you mean by "apply this retroactively". their legal argument for tokens being a security is established law. This press release has very little bearing on whether an company may or may not be prosecuted. Furthermore, ICO's are certainly not prima facie forbidden. The legal analysis will be a case by case basis, particularly asking whether a token would be considered an "investment contract".
That was a really interesting read and watch, both high tech and low tech hacks.

Given that these guns mean life/death for people I hope this find is enough to take them off the market. So many chances for failure given all these holes.

Anyone care to speculate on what this will do to ether/bitcoin values? Does this concentrate interest in the existing players?
> Out of curiosity why would you include food, housing, and transport, etc in your calculation.

Because they are all higher as a result of going to work. i.e. if you buy lunch at work everyday for $15, you would only spend $5 if you were at home and ate a sandwich you made yourself.. so the $10 per day difference is a "cost" of going to work. Same for transport (would be $0 without work).
Housing is often greatly inflated because of work. i.e. I want to earn the big bucks in Silicon Valley, so I pay $4000/mo rent. Or I just move way out someplace and only spend $1000/mo.. therefore the $3000 difference per month is a "cost" of going to work.

> It's seems like what you're really calculating is profit per hour.

That's an interesting way to say it.... I guess I would say "how much are you really getting ahead for every hour of your life you are selling. (hint: it's massively less than most people think)

"Work Less to Live Your Dreams" http://amzn.to/2vVzpbG
So this exact thought has crossed my mind on several occasions in regards to the NFL and NCAA. There's something about the optics of the rich white sports owner looking down from their box office as teams of mostly African American men smash each other to bits. That being said, just because something creates a visual analogy of a caste system, it doesn't mean that the actual workings of that system are in fact, caste-like.

First, NCAA and NFL is composed of a range of races and economic backgrounds. Your third-generation legacy QB is getting sacked all the same as your QB from the projects. And the rich white patrons don't care either way.

Fact #1: Most NFL players are black.
Fact #2: Most NFL owners are white.

Does this speak more about systemic issues at the player level, or the owner level? I'd say the owner level. There is no lack of white athletes trying to make it into college and pro ball. I don't think recruiters are recruiting a disproportionately high amount of black players compared to white players because they want to spare the white race from long-term injuries. They're just picking the best athletes. In contrast, it's easy to explain why there are less black NFL team owners.

Secondly, I'm a bit confused as to why "poor" seems to be equated with "black" in your scenario. Yeah, we can easily look at NCAA players on TV and visually confirm that over 50% are black. But how do you know what percentage of players is poor? There are lots of poor rural white kids in the NCAA. There are lots of suburban middle class black kids. And by the time you're playing in the NFL, no one is poor.
The same parent who gets shot by their toddler is also the same parent who will never have this kind of gun.
We have very very effective toddler thwarting technology; low tech, very cost effective and easy to impliment, its called "keeping it where the toddler can't get it". Its worked fairly well since the inception of the firearm.
It seems to me like reviews and word-of-mouth can and already do a good job of all this. When I find out about new things, it's generally through social networks. And when I'm looking to buy something new I usually look for reviews.

> How will I promote my new movie? Or book?

The same way that people do today. Talk shows, trailers (which you let people organically share, rather than paying to put it in front of people), movie/book reviewers.

> Besides, how many months go by with you happily using your razor before you sit down to research whether there are better options?

I feel like you're countering your own point here. Buying a new razor when you're already happy with the one you're using is exactly the kind of consumerism that advertising encourages.

> We've already got this dearth of creativity and risk-taking in Hollywood. Imagine how much worse it'd be if they couldn't advertise something new!

I disagree. Imagine if advertising didn't exist, and the only way to get the word out about new movies was through movie reviews, and so studios were actually encouraged to make good movies. I think we would have a lot less riding on established IP.
You mean misrepresent the topic and play off bad programming as if OO were the problem; you can write shitty code in any language in any paradigm. Java was verbose because it was Java and it lacked many features other language had to remove that verbosity; it wasn't verbose because it was OO. Yegge was spewing shit for traffic at the time, nothing more, his critiques were baseless.
I don't think you'll find many neuroscientists that believe this. What's emerging complexity?

I someone has time, could you record each one of these, splice the videos together and upload it, so we can compare them, without actually installing each one?
> In addition to repositories you own, blocked users are now no longer able to comment on issues or pull requests you author in repositories owned by organizations or other users.

Oh wow. Somebody didn't think this through.

Why would the submitter be allowed to decide who can and who cannot discuss the issue? This should be the repository owner's prerogative.

I wouldn't want this "feature" as a reporter either, because it makes easier for the blocked user to notice that they are in fact blocked.
I don't believe all taxes are an infringement on freedom. A tax on natural resource consumption, and to a lesser extent, immovable property within a state's jurisdiction, can be morally justified in my opinion. I also don't have a problem with a head tax, conditioned on the punishment for noncompliance being exile, rather than imprisonment. A tax on private transactions is an infringement on liberty in my opinion.

On that note, it's interesting that the first 'War on Drugs' used taxes on private transactions as its avenue to prohibition. Since the government at the time didn't have the Constitutional authority (this is before the Supreme Court was utterly corrupted by politics) to outright ban drugs, what it did instead is require that all targeted drugs pay a stamp tax, and then simply refuse to issue the stamp. This shows the prohibitive nature of taxes on private transactions.
Ironically ether & bitcoin started dropping last night around midnight. Makes me wonder if any SEC folks were involved in insider trading. Anyone care to speculate on what this will do to ether/bitcoin values? Does this concentrate interest in the existing players or does it hurt demand and speculation therefore depressing prices?
I just clicked on each directory, the images are linked to the READMEs.
I remember trying this half a year ago, but the tutorial was already no longer applicable because WDL-OL couldn't be installed the way the tutorial covered for Windows. It explains how to do the setup using VS2010, which is genuinely obsolete at this point, so unless that's been addressed, I've not been able to actually make this tutorial work for me.
I'd bet that the reason web/mobile dev pays much better than embedded is that there are many more firms doing it. Embedded means that your company is producing a hardware electronics product, which is requires a specialized core competency that relatively few firms do. By contrast, web & mobile dev just means that your employer has some information they need to deliver to users, which describes basically all of the millions of businesses in the world. More potential employers = higher demand = higher wages, even if the supply of webdevs is bigger and becoming one requires less training.

(Personally, I found the low-level hardware/OS/algorithms courses fascinating in my CS degree, but went into webdev because it paid more and gave me more career options, and then some data science because the combination of UI skills + data wrangling skills means I can actually build useful things on my own. No regrets on my career path, but if I get lucky and cash out on a startup, I think I'd love to do embedded & hardware stuff.)
