> Although owners of trademarked names may suggest otherwise, publishers are not obligated to denote the trademark status of a name when that name is mentioned in text. Authors representing trademark owners frequently feel obligated to use the trademark or registered-trademark symbol (™ or ®) after the first mention of their product names but often do not use these symbols consistently to indicate the trademark status of other names not owned by their particular sponsor or employer.

The people who own the trademark may feel obligated to use those marks, but nobody else ever is.

There's a lot of "folk law" (that is, urban legends repeated by the ignorant) surrounding this concept, so if you think I'm wrong, please do yourself and the rest of us a favor and research good cites to show that there's actual law saying I'm wrong. Thanks.

> but can't an object be considered immutable when all its fields are immutable and all its member functions (but the constructor perhaps) are pure?

How exactly do you expect to track this accurately without integrating it into the type system?
It's not an issue of whether or not the field itself is assignable, but whether or not the type that it points to is mutable. This becomes much more difficult to determine when generics are involved. This sort of type level knowledge for generics would make it hard to staple onto an existing type system. Even if you did, you would likely end up with a lot of code duplication as you would need two forms of types, immutable and mutable, e.g. `ImmVector` and `MutVector`, `ImmMap` and `MutMap`, `ImmMyObject` and `MutMyObject`, etc.
To make this more ergonomic, Skip has a mode based mutability model, where the mutability is determined not at the class declaration, but rather at the type annotation/object instantiation. So we would then have `Vector` and `mutable Vector`, two modes of the same class.

Do I regret working certain places and on certain technology? Sure. But I cannot think of another career that still pays reasonably well, offers creative freedom, good job prospects, advancement avenues, and a fast changing ecosystem to keep things fresh-ish.

Only large downside is the age-ism in the industry. Hopefully I won't be looking for work in my 60s.

A blog is just one kind of news application, that generally uses articles (not data) for its content. However, we propose that once news is converted to data it can be used for many different kind of applications: Trusted news feeds (filter and sort the data); automatically created articles (combine the data); fact checking systems (compare the data); fake news detectors (evaluate the sources of the data); and much more. For this to work the data must be independently verified as accurate (matching the source) and available for access at all times, without fear censorship. Put all that together and there is only one technology that can deal with it.

One of problems with columnar/ortholinear/split keyboards is that all of them are 40%-50%ish. I never seen such keyboard with '[' and ']' keys in standard places. Sometimes there's no "'" too. Yes, this is by design, because these keys are too far away from home position, but I use Russian layout and it has 'х', 'ъ' and 'э' letters on these keys. Not the most frequent letters but still I don't like idea to have letters on some unrelated places on "punctuation layer".

Not everybody likes heavy use of modifier keys. Despite using computers from early 90s I still struggle with pressing ctrl/alt/super before alphanum key, sometimes I press keys in wrong order (i.e. I press alphanum before ctrl is fully pressed). Using multiple layers with Fn keys would be probably a nightmare for me.

I've gotten down voted for this opinion in the past, but US equity broker-dealers have created self-regulatory bodies like FINRA with sensible auditing, rules with teeth, and certification processes simply to avoid being micromanaged by the SEC.

Snapdragon 835 apparently. The 845 would have pushed the price point up considerably. If so I think they made the right call. The price point was my biggest concern with this thing.

Water is a mass noun, generally used for things indivisible or uncountable. In English, you can tell if a noun is a mass noun if it cannot be used with the indefinite article "a".

"*Oh hey look, I found a sand"

"Oh hey look, I found a blockchain"

It doesn't fail the test, so it must be a count noun.

(PS: water is a bad example, because "a water" is a common abbreviation for "a glass of water" that's old enough it's probably lexicalized in a lot of people's heads. "sand", "salt", "bread", "wood", or "rice" are better examples)

Yeah, the DK1 I tried was leftover from some research project and ended up at the local maker space for a while. I assume the tracking quality on that is about on par with Google Cardboard.

I don’t have a space for a real “room scale” setup with Rift cameras or Vive beacons, so I’ve been waiting on Santa Cruz’s inside-out tracking to look at VR more seriously.

Pleasantly surprised by price. They’ve confirmed it’s based on a Snapdragon 835, which isn’t a top end SoC, and I think that’s a smart move to get it down to this range. At $500 they’d have a much harder sell, and this is where PS4 and Xbox One started (once they dropped Kinekt, anyway).

Right, so the "fight" is between more raw power on on a PC vs more direct driver access on mobile.

Except that only holds up if you consider the headset a primary gaming device.

Usually people expect a certain graphical fidelity from PC or console games, so either we have a world with only consoles (which have standardized hw/sw stacks like mobile) and mobiles are gaming devices or we have one that is just like it has been for the last 10-15 years. Which do you think is more likely?

I still have no idea what was so wrong about the RS-232 as the keyboard and mouse interface that it had to be replaced first with PS/2 and then USB.

AFAIK there are lots of such keyboards nowadays, but almost all are with scissor low-travel keys.
I saw some usage data in a quartz article, that I can’t find, earlier this week. Facebook was the most popular social media platform across teenagers, millennials, generation x and baby boomers.

The real interesting data was in teenagers though, their most popular platform is Snapchat, but none of the platforms had managed to make more than 40% of teenagers create an account with them.

I think this is interesting because it shows that Facebook isn’t really sucking that much worse than Instagram and that Instagram isn’t going to save Facebook on its own.

From a more anecdotal perspective, I think the integration was smart. I’m not very active on social media, but I do use Facebook to arrange events with my friends that live in multiple cities. Because I see people sharing Instagram posts on Facebook through the integration, I’ve considered creating an account. Of course I’ve also considered leaving the platform because Facebook keeps doing the wrong thing.
Some effects can be faked well with pre-computation but important cues for dynamic object interaction like high quality dynamic ambient occlusion are not easy to fake. Other tricks designed for 2D displays don't hold up as well in VR. I see a lot of object interaction difficulties with novice VR users that I think can be helped by better rendering, although there are issues that will also need better display technologies to resolve.
At my first ever job, where I was among the first developers after the founders, they got such standard boilerplate template.

I was experimenting with a somewhat similar idea a few years ago, https://github.com/geuis/lead-dns.

I took the most recent block lists that uBlock Origin was using at the time and filtered out all the css-based selectors to just get the domains and urls.

Unfortunately it basically broke nearly every site that I went to, largely in part to blocking some top-tier domains from Google I think.

You could run lead-dns locally on your machine, or on another machine on your network.

I still think its a good approach and will be looking into Pi-hole since its a lot more developed than my early experiment.

This is how I've solved the problem in the past. Too bad systemd discourages this. It also doesn't protect the partition where your database and log files are kept.
Absolutely! I don’t have the numbers handy but I ran them earlier and it’s about 1.7x the pixel count of the CV1, which was already better than the DK1.
I'm not sure the point you're trying to make.
You could, but in order to make that reliable, you have to use a lot of other people's space storing other people's messages... It's a lot simpler to keep it reliable if the service owner owns this (this is also part of the reason the Skype supernodes moved to be company hosted)

No, he wasn't. He wasn't accepted as CEO by enough employees, but he could have stepped down and retained another position in the company, like CTO. Even he recognizes that Mozilla leadership wanted him to stay on board, but he chose to quit and pursue his own project. Which is fine. It just doesn't mean he was "forced" out any more than the people who quit because they couldn't stand him being CEO were "forced" out.
They were really the second big acquisition and they got a huge valuation. Instagram was running pretty autonomously at the time (2 years prior) so between talking to them and seeing the arrangement and the belief they would be valued as employees like their company; I get it. Also it was huge money that can give you rose colored glasses.
Yes, you have paper money in your possession that is only worth as much as a centralized bank SAYS it is. And the awesome thing about that is that centralized banks never print ridiculous amounts of money and devalue their own currencies. That would be crazy and short-sighted. What sort of idiots would do that?

Crytpocurrencies are useful to people for a variety of reasons. And if a bank wants to deal in crytpocurrency, that is fine with me. I am glad that you have no doubt they will be profitable but you are pulling such sentiment out of thin air. There is not a precedent for cryptocurrency and how it may affect and integrate with existing systems. But consider that if you consider having a bank involved is a good thing for cryptocurrency - you might not understand the point of blockchain.

And the final point, the ledger is open, and everyone can see everything. You must consider this aspect in your scenario. I would imagine such a microtransactions agreement manifested into a smart contract or if not, prepaid. But again, only at a 15 minute. There is a level of credit there but still much smaller than 30 days worth.

You have a very unique perspective on advertising. I do not understand how you distinguish honest communication attempting to convince you to buy something versus some forms of advertising.

Additionally, you make this appeal to what is natural, implying that natural is better. You seem to be defining natural as something that you would do without money informing your decision, but no one is a machine that makes all or even many of their decision on conscious thought.

Additionally, you don't seem to understand either that Troy runs a service Have I Been Pwned, for free, and there is no advertising there at all. The ads that he has aren't just funding his $20/month blog, but a service that tens of thousands of people rely on, and can easily cost him $1000s of dollars per month (he has made some posts on this previously).
