That functionality is outlawed, and the official statement explicitly only talks about watches having it. The article pulls all kinds of "connected devices" concerns into it that don't apply to the specific decision.
I'm pretty sure I get nothing out of the US social programs considering I'm a resident of another country.
I've steered away from using actual tabs as Vim uses them becauses I wanted to follow the buffer/window/tab mentality Vim follows. It's a logical setup.

I will take a look at these. I think that because I've got lightline installed I'll have to either integrate one of these or just go for one on it's own or something.

Honestly, if there was a way to attach a gas chromatograph to toilet, i’d totally buy it. It’d be nice to be warned of high mercury or lead intake. Also, if there was a way to assess the state of your gut (micro-biome, digestion issues) in real time it would be a big win. So much of my life is dictated by diet (migraines, physical performance, mood), that having additional data points to correlate with, and potentially find causations, could potentially increase my quality of life.
My experience with Udacity's simulator is purely from the perspective of having used it as a part of participating and completing their nanodegree program.

First off, it's very easy to use; it's written in Unity and uses something like (or maybe is?) a websocket-like interface to communicate with the simulated vehicle. I'm not sure what its complete capabilities are, because we used a number of different versions over the course. Our initial uses were with a "closed source" version, but toward about the middle of the course it was opened up (I was in the October 2016 cohort, which was either the first or second group going thru - so we were very much "beta testers").

From my recollection, we could get camera info (from one camera in the "center" of the windshield - but there were supposedly two other cameras on the left and right corners - these cameras were similar in position to what was on the real Udacity car, "Carla" - no relation).

We could also get waypoint data, plus a variety of other data from the "car"; we could send steering and acceleration/braking data. But at no point in the course did we get all of these bits of data at the same time; it was very much tailored to the lesson or project.

Another note: I used this simulator on my workstation at home, which is a 6-core AMD system with 8 gig of RAM and a NVIDIA GTX 750 TI OC video card (getting to be long in the tooth). I run a very tweaked version of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on it. I also set up TensorFlow and cuDNN, to utilize my GPU. I found that my system had no problem running various CNN models, training, etc at the same time as using the GPU to run the simulator. It seemed to work well for that, but it probably isn't ideal.

As a simulator, I would say it is fairly simplistic, but it wasn't meant to be a production-ready solution, but rather a training/educational simulation for teaching the topic. I'd say it does that part well.
It's not literal, but it is basically a molasses cake baked into a pie topped with sugar, so yeah. Sweet.
My mastercard had the same feature sometime along the way that they advertised strongly to me on the website. I think I might have used it once, but it was too much of a hassle to log in to my account, generate the number, go back to the website that I was purchasing from, etc.

Shouldn't we first agree on what constitutes racism and misogyny? It's easy to say that others are and forgetting that most people are to some extent.

Also because someone in your view is misguided about race or gender does that mean you should treat them as I am assuming you believe they treat people of other race or gender?

Why is it a better world to live in where you ban one view rather than the other when the result is more less the same. Someone is getting oppressed.
Assuming you've been paying exactly zero attention to anything going on, here's a few major things that he is responsible for:

Travel ban targeting Islamic countries

Withdrawal of Paris Agreement

Fired head of FBI when Comey wouldn't declare personal loyalty

Issued a directive to the department of health agencies "waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay" portions of the ACA

Soon to be pretty closely tied to:

Tax bill making graduate school significantly more expensive

FCC votes to kill net neutrality next month

These are, in my opinion, the worst offenses. There are many other things that he is either responsible for or closely related to. A simple google search yields list after list of things he's done both large and small.
We live in a hyper-polarized time and belong to an industry and community (SV) that is both responsible for a lot of that polarization, and is busy trying to remake the world and the experience of the world as it sees fit. We're hardly selling car doors here.

That being said, it seems a little rich to complain about the intrusion of politics into this genteel little salon we've got here.

Couldn't this simply be done in after market installable software on a general purpose smart watch?
Care to share which forum? I'm very interested in seeing what a political forum that is as you described looks like.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I agree with the decision. Perhaps this will push the producers of such devices to up their privacy game, and in the future there should be security audits before allowing them back on the market. Regulation of production would be more difficult and more liable to error than if a producer were forced to prove itself reliable and trustworthy before being allowed to sell products to children.

For me as well this is an issue of high concern. Many parents blindly put faith in technology in their children's hands (especially in this case, where the smartwatches are marketed as a safety feature), but this may now encourage parents to be more mindful as to such decisions. In our society, we have a ravenous competition for who can grab children's attention and keep it. Perhaps if the competitors are willing to prove they have products that will actually improve a child's well-being, this game wouldn't be as odd as it seems to me now.

edit: I see now that this is only a ban on smartwatches with recording/audio capability. This makes my point somewhat irrelevant.
Cell phones don't generally support for non-present parties to enable listening in as a feature and if they did, they'd be banned under that regulation as well.

Is software development really a dead-end job after age 35-40?
I don't think the core problem here is solved by the application of a distributed ledger. The problem that you will need to solve is this: residential real estate loses value fast if not maintained, and furthermore can vary a lot based on things like the presence of appliances, heating/cooling systems and other improvements. Investors that hold a small percentage and have no ability to enforce upkeep can find themselves losing money on this even in a rising real-estate market.
Arguably, they already don't have a future.
I don't think a seller is going to take a return of a product they are not allowed to possess either, but is going to tell you to destroy it.
I don't know about uBlock Origin (which is what you probably meant) but according to press articles AdBlock Plus gets paid money by Google to not block their ads, which feels at least in the ballpark to what Brave is trying to do.

>I don't know who started with the idea that it's smarter to buy more hardware than to spend resources on programming

It was the CFO's idea. Software is expensive, and hardware is _incredibly cheap_.

Moreover, if you're in the business of selling hardware, be it PCs, mobile phones, white goods, whatever, it is in your power to throw cheap hardware at the problem, because software development will always be one of your highest costs. You will never be able to just drop readymade code into your new hardware design. And you can more easily recoup the cost of hardware development because you can mark up the price of anything with a faster CPU or more memory accordingly; you can't so easily charge for software features.
It's also literally the name of the functionality in VS.
Also, I thinking that it could be handy to maybe default to the resolution/aspect ratio of the device visiting the page. Would that be handy?

oh please. they're putting money into R&D and into the ramp up. Your statement makes it sound like they're using the money to wipe their @$$es. No, they're putting the money to work. And if the analysts and shareholders didn't believe that, the stock would tank.
Yeah, seems pretty sketchy, more or less like sending money via PayPal to random email addresses in the hope that the owner checks it for money. I respect Brave for trying, but accepting money from consumers and holding it until creators sign up to receive it is not good enough.
They also just laid off a ton of people, so maybe that burn rate is going to lower quite a bit.

This is cute, but I now see comments endorsing this brand of hate and hysteria (albeit with a less violent flair) on HN everyday. If you're going to suggest that you haven't noticed this trend over the past year or two then frankly your request for reporting is disingenuous.

In line with the original top comment, why don't you publicly declare that you you'll treat discrimination/slander of whites/men/conservatives/scientists/free-speech-advocates on this platform just as harshly as you would any other group instead of asking me to send you a dozen emails per day.
Which are just as illegal. The "ban" here is just the regulatory agency clarifying/informing the public that these products have been sold but are not legal to possess under existing laws in Germany.
T_D is already banned from /r/all. During the election you'd see a T_D post bubble up to the top often enough that Command-F "The_Donald" would give at least 4 out of 200. Now there's not a single post in the top 300. And I don't think they necessarily ran afoul of vote manipulation rules and therefore got banned: the election demonstrates there are just a lot of vocal supporters.

It's something of a myth that T_D needs to be banned in order to appease advertisers. They keep to themselves.

Fortunately spez is smart. Bringing down the hammer on T_D could very well start a civil war. He seems to be wary of this.
It might be interesting to see this concept used for a distributed housing collective. A group of homeowners across the country pool the value of their houses to buffer against economic downturns in any particular market.
That would be illegal (it's also generally not a feature on adult smart watches to have someone else quietly activate the microphone and listen in)
> As a special case, Go does allow foo(bar()) if foo takes two args

Good to know (though somewhat disgusting), but for error-returning functions I would assume the external ones would take a single argument aka in foo(bar(baz()) I'd expect

func foo(arg W) (result X, err error)
func bar(arg V) (result W, err error)
func baz() (result V, err error)
"could you please explain what you mean by C runtime,"

There's two components to the C runtime, what is specified by the C standard, and what is specified by POSIX and the operating systems. I am not sufficiently familiar with the C world to tell you exactly which thing is defined in which part. Fortunately, for this discussion of how integrating C code into another runtime goes, it doesn't really matter.

The C runtime includes the assumption that there is a malloc-compatible memory allocator available (note it's swappable), the process of linking programs when they start up and the whole surrounding "symbols" they can obtain. It has certain assumptions about what state needs to be saved when a function is called; for instance, it won't save the flags on the processor controlling IEEE FPU conformity. Function calls have a "stack" and there's a "heap", and the language itself distinguishes between them. C itself, IIRC, has no specification for threads whatsoever, but the OSes seem to have converged on a fairly similar model that could be fairly called part of the runtime now.

It's hard to "see" the C runtime because it has won so thoroughly that it just looks like "how computation is done", or is so deeply integrated into the operating system that it forces parts of the model on everything that runs on that OS. You kind of have to piece together what C does by looking at what it does that other languages do differently. Yes, most programs at some point will do some linking and symbol resolution, but once the interpreter has started up, dynamic languages have no concept of a static symbol table. Loading another Python module doesn't even remotely resemble loading a C library, either at startup or dynamically later. The language Go doesn't have a stack or a heap. The implementation does for practical reasons, but the language does not. Most other languages now will save the same things on the call stack as C, but that's not a requirement of computation; you could save a lot more of the processor's state, but it'll trash your function performance to do it. A "stack" and "heap" model is not necessary; Haskell for instance does not have a clear "stack" at all. (It does stack-like things, certainly, but it turns out getting what most people call "a stacktrace" from the runtime is actually fairly hard. I believe still not possible on GHC.) There are alternate methods for threading, including models that still use the C-style threads under the hood but include mandatory code to be run at startup and shutdown to be "part" of the runtime.

C is not as thin as it looks; it's just that history has made it appear to be the baseline. And as I know my internets, let me say that nothing in this post is criticism. Something has to be the baseline. While I think the C baseline is getting long in the tooth, it won for a reason, and I don't know that we could have gotten much better from the 1970s. (The other competition usually cited was either a performance non-starter (the Lisp of the time), or had it survived for 40+ years, we'd be able to write a very similar post about how it is getting long in the tooth too in 2017 (Pascal, for instance).)
Why would you trust anything? Not to go to the extreme, but we do things every day where trust is integral, and what we trust is not something we verify independently. Or maybe you are different.

This doesn't just apply to obvious and simple visual problems, but also more subtle content problems.

How does Honda avoid placing ads next to a pro-Roy Moore articles that might associate their brand with pedophilia?
Microsoft were terrible in the 1980s too (I have a Gates signed copy of MS DOS encyclopaedia here to give you an idea of how far I go back). They abused enterprise customers all through the 2000's. They screwed people on audits, certs, all sorts. This is a consistent negative all along.

This isn't a 10 year stretch, it's persistent bad behaviour AND it hasn't actually got any better. Enterprises are still getting screwed and they're pretty much steamrolling everything.

You have to be stupid to trust them at this point.

That's pretty interesting - JIT's can do a lot of great optimizations with runtime information, but I'm still surprised to hear that Pypy was faster. It would be cool to see the benchmarks, methodology, and Python code.

Personally, Pypy has never been an option due to the nature of the codebases I work on - or at least it wasn't. I was using pandas, numpy, scipy etc and I don't think it was compatible.
> The market is not self regulating here.

The market is rarely self regulating here in the U.S., either, assuming you’re referring to people making decisions with their dollars. Rather, the market is driven by a combination of advertising, media coverage, speculative investing, and established big interests. We as a consumerist culture enjoy indulging in the illusion that we are making our own purchase decisions.

The market is more like a game of hungry hungry hippos. Yes, the balls move in all sorts of directions at many different speeds, and while they appear to be doing so in response to collisions with one another, their propulsion is a result of the hippos chasing them, chomping at them, and generally moving the board with the force of their jaws coming down.

Examples of this include diamond engagement rings, the growing size of single family homes, sugar’s infiltration of our diet, tax havens, and $1k+ phones.

So they’re lowering the pollution generated per-bitcoin by using a cleaner kind of electricity.

But they’re still wasting GOBS of electricity in the process.

The fix to the power problem would be to find a way to mine coins that uses less electricity, not ‘cleaner’ electricity.

Of course as soon as you do that the usage won’t change. If you can mine x BTC/kWH then why would accept mining the same amount of bitcoin when for the same power you were already using you could mine more BTC?

This article would be more compelling if he explored (or at least mentioned) the existing mechanisms for leveraging his home's value (e.g. cash out refinance and HELOCs) and why they don't meet his needs. Instead, he wants to sell fractional ownership and control of his home?
"Value for value" is fine; but the value of watching a video or reading an article is usually about zero to me, something I could easily do without, something that might even carry a negative value since it takes up my time. In fact, since it usually benefits the maker to have more viewers, maybe they should try paying me to watch.

"Consumers" (a problematic term) need a refrigerator to keep food cold, figuratively speaking. They don't need "content." If money is what people care about, they should get into the refrigerator business. (In China, since that's where it is now.)

The web isn't a money machine. If everybody who wanted to get paid for it, got the hell off it or was starved off it, that also would lead to the positive fundamental change of which you speak. Just sayin'.
Political totalism is itself a political position --- a bad and exhausting one that turns communities into ideological battlegrounds.

It should be obvious that we can have a conversation about, say, the Android low memory killer's process ordering strategy without having to talk about the social implications of website cookie tracking or whatever.

Yes, mobile technology as a whole is connected to privacy. That doesn't mean that any particular detail of that technology is relevant to any particular political cause, and it doesn't give people the right to inject social issues into discussions into technical matters. You can't be intellectually honest, keep a straight face, and claim that malloc chunking is "deeply intertwined" with some pet political cause.

One reason the West has gone mad the past few years is this bizarre emphasis on the old, bad "the personal is the political" idea. No, it isn't.
I dunno about that last one. It seems like most consumer tech is trending towards teledildonics, metaphorically speaking ;)
Actually, buftabline looks perfect. I'm not sure how I have overlooked this.

I really only need this as a crutch to get over the way I previously used graphical text editors. I know some people say go cold turkey and I have for a loooooong time but I need this representation.

I'm not sure it's even a 'bad' thing to do, seems quite handy to see what buffers are open without having to write a command. Plus I have a huge amount of screen real estate so I think this might work well.
