Yes, there are three playlists that are tuned to my tastes. Most weeks they're pretty great, although every few months I wonder what I ever did to make Apple's ML model think I like those songs.

My daughter also thinks her weekly playlists are good, while my son says they're trash for him. I'm not sure why the results seems to vary so widely.
NSA Exploits Ported to Work on All Windows Versions Released Since Windows 2000
Speaking of ring interfaces, Ring [0] was a Kickstarter project that happened. I seem to recall that it did ship but didn't actually work too well. I suspect that your simpler interface would have been a lot more successful.

I think some of it depends on which finger you're targeting, too. Wearing it on the index finger makes it easier to tap/push buttons using the thumb.

In my HCI class, we went over this paper [1] (2010). It has a wide variety of always-available input and output and many of them would work well with these glasses. My hardware crush is a Myo [2], although I don't know how well it works. The videos of it look neat, at least :).

Also, I had the exact same idea for a hand interface as a project for my Ubicomp class, but I didn't have the skills to do it. I ended up doing research for "smart jewelry" instead :|

I have a lower bar: don't composite an impossible image. And if you composite, don't claim the opposite like Lik is quoted as claiming in the article.

Compositing used to recreate what an observer at the right place and time would see is ok by me. Again, if disclosed.

Creating an impossibly sharp and smooth moon, not oriented correctly and in front of clouds... might as well put a howling wolf silhouette too.

Yes, I explicitly cut out DTD. I'm planning to developed a schema language for Mark, improving on prior art like XML Schema, JSON Schema, etc.

There's already a transformation library - Mark Template (https://github.com/henry-luo/mark-template) in beta release.

Mark at the moment supports CSS selector. I'm also thinking about a new Mark-specific selector.

Mark is very new. A lot to be done!

IMO, that's more to do with Intel than to do with Microsoft and Apple. Sandy Bridge, released in 2011, was the last Intel processor that was more than 10% faster than previous generations. We used to see ~25% generational speedups from Intel. Since 2011 we've only seen 5-10% speedups.
This is just my opinion, but as someone who has actually worked full-time with Haskell (though admittedly not since 2015), I think a lot of the problem is due to Haskell's awful error messages and, for most of its life, awful tooling.

When a newbie starts using Haskell, they are immediately put off by the fact that the messages are...esoteric to say the least; weird things of `result a0, expected [b0]`, can be offputting, and make things like F# a much more attractive option.

Also, I feel like, until Intero, editor integration with ghcmod was incredibly difficult to set up, and fairly easy to break, to a point where I eventually uninstalled it.

Cabal, while certainly interesting, would end up in weird scenarios where dependencies wouldn't resolve correctly, resulting in "cabal hell".

Stack has greatly improved on all of these points, and hopefully Haskell catches on a bit more, because despite my criticisms, I do think it's a fantastic language and platform.
I laugh every time I see the culmination of CSS has resulted in grid based layout. You mean, like tables?

This uses an unsafe "default(MA)" construct to hack around the type system, right? There's no way to write code like this and not have your code fail with NPEs at runtime except for manually inspecting every "default(...)" call to check that it's called on the right kind of type.

"handles" in what sense? It needs to give different answers for the same letter depending on whether the text is English or Turkish, for example, so I don't see how it can "handle" it in general.

Reading the documentation you link to, the answer in the fine print is that fc() gives you incorrect results for Turkish text.

No, it was left in for people like me that _do_ have a strong preference for the voice of the singer. I love my trance music with smooth female vocals, and having men in that mix would be unenjoyable for me.

I think a nice feature for apps like this would be optional granular control of the aspects of the mix that you want. If votes lead to parts of a mix that you don't like(like certain vocals), it would be nice if I could explicitly remove that from the mix.

Exploiting modern microarchitectures: Meltdown, Spectre, and other attacks [video]
It's unfortunate that this seems to be the case of fraud, but I hope people don't take the wrong lesson from it. "Kids" can be far more intelligent, persistent, and effective than many adults seem to be willing to believe. I don't think there's anything inherently implausible about the general story "16 year old creates usable and useful app," even if that's not what happened in this case.

Programming isn't magic, it's a skill one can learn, and at this moment of history it's easier than ever to get the information and tools required to do so. Teenagers (and younger kids) can learn incredibly quickly - if they decide to do so.
Yep - in the long run it has been much cheaper for me as well. I moved full time to Mac in late 2008 with an aluminum Macbook, and used that Macbook daily until May of 2015 when I picked up a loaded Macbook Pro 15. I got almost 7 years out of that first aluminum Macbook (which I actually still use to serve media to my Apple TV), and I bet I get that (or more) out of my Macbook Pro. Previous to 2008 I was getting a new Windows laptop pretty much every other year as I always encountered the same slowdown as you describe. I think that Windows laptops get better than 2 year now due to decreases in overall CPU speed improvements relative to what we were seeing between 2000 -> 2010, but the build quality of the Macbook was something no one else could touch at the time.
Bonus points for sending the user to a legitimate link explaining what Meltdown is.

There is basically no problem here?? There is an organization that claims its security is backed by an equivalent number of American dollars (thus promising relatively stable liquidity). Yet, this organization can't get through an audit and it's looking rather unlikely that that security is actually backed by anything more than website copy. And there is basically no problem here?

Well, when I was using Windows more than 10 years ago... formatting your computer every 2 years was a good way to maintain performance, otherwise it would just slow down due to disk fragmentation + crapware accumulation. On Linux I could also just install the OS once and use it until I upgraded the machine... like in 6 years.
Which is something the manufacturers continue to get away with, for absolutely no good reason.

You can browse the Haskell sources to find Haskell implementations of them.

Here is the implementation for mempty for the "Sum" type family mentioned in the article:

mempty = Sum 0

https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/d987f71aa3200ce0c94bc57c43b4...

And here it is for lists:

mempty = []

https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/d987f71aa3200ce0c94bc57c43b4...

It's harder for "read" because there is a tangle of auxiliary functions. But for Int, for example, it's essentially the same function you would call "atoi" in C: A function that converts a string like "-123" into the integer -123, or signals an error if the input string is not valid.

But I think there may be a very important misunderstanding here. Neither you nor Haskell define THE read function. If you define a new type, you can define a new read function for this type. So if you define some type MyOwnT, you will define a read function of the concrete type "read :: String -> MyOwnT".

Nobody ever defines a "master" generic function "read :: String -> a" that can return any type! There are many concrete read functions, and the compiler chooses, based on type inference and type hints and sometimes type information at runtime, which concrete one to use at that particular call site.

Again: There is no single magic function that knows how to fabricate an instance of any type from a string. There is only a family of non-magic functions that each know how to fabricate an instance of a specific type.

I suspect virtually all of us here agree that copyright terms are too long, but this still looks like wilful copyright infringement.

Not that it would make any difference if EA stopped selling it on GOG. The idea of 'abandonware' has absolutely zero legal standing, as far as I'm aware.

Yes, but grid/css is _designed_ for layout. Tables was a bastardization of markup designed for data display. (ie, a table of data, like in a spreadsheet)

Unless you have truly dug into how awesome grid is, you can't really understand what it's done for the future of web design.

I will look up a short tutorial I ran into that really showed me the power/value of grid. (fyi, I use CSS daily in my work)

Edit: Here's one example. You could use tables, but this is incredibly flexible and with media queries you can completely manipulate the layout and position of the design based on the screen size. And the markup is incredibly light, it's fabulous for those of us who want more control and less work to do, _and_ less debugging of browser quirks.

>>Consumers' trust in marketing is mindblowing.

On the other hand, I don't feel like consumer should have to care about this at all. If it says flushable, it should be flushable. I'd trust relevant agencies to enforce this, just like they already enforce "free range", "organic" and "juice" - at least here in UK those terms have a legal meaning behind them and consumers can safely know they get what they pay for. If a wipe says "flushable" but it isn't, then that should be rectified on the regulatory level.

Capitalism hates it though if there's no reason to sell new devices. Although I think we still have a lot of headroom in terms of memory performance that will matter just as much as the previous CPU performance increases.
"Compositing used to recreate what an observer at the right place and time would see is ok by me."

To me part of why I admire a picture is the fact that someone did the work to get to the right place at the right time. So compositing something that could have happened but the photographer wasn't there when it happened is still disappointing.
Yes, we'd love to see it!
Good for Intel.

This might just be the start of a new, big, market at a time when they desperately need to diversify their sources of revenue. Seeing them achieve that through in-house innovation as opposed to copying (or buying) competing products would be great.

I don't see the point of these overpriced smartwatches and glasses that can barely do one thing (display notifications), but I want my future full AR/VR glasses, so I'm glad the early adopters pay for it.

Right now, what I'd want is a very simple, slim, long-lasting watch that would notify me of emails, messages, phone calls and notifications based on their origin (business account, work account, personal, random). It doesn't even need a display, different vibration modes and LED's would do fine.

Almost all Haskell code written these days uses at least a handful, if not a barrel-full, of extensions, and ScopedTypeVariables is one of the most common ones. Of course, you’re completely free to do whatever you’d like with your own code, but you’ll probably find it hard to avoid extensions — at the least many of them will be used by some libraries you’re depending on.
Clearly there may be a massive problem for Tether. Outside of Tether - I'm not seeing the ramifications, other than exchanges are going to have to use different stable coins. I remember when LTC and FTC used to be legit trading pairs on exchange websites. Whether or not Tether is legit seems pretty uninteresting to me - my trading bots regularly go through thousands of USDT, and I've never once thought to myself "Oh, I can redeem this for 1USD." It's just a utility token, and if it dies, something will fill the void after a brief panic.

To me, this just seems very overblown.
I guess that's in line with a lot of CS graduates I see at work.
