Has any car company yet tried using the car to take you to ads?

For instance, suppose they know that you like BBQ, and they have a new BBQ restaurant advertising client having a grand opening. They know from the data from the in-car navigation service that you have probably not been to a BBQ restaurant recently so might be particularly receptive to trying the new place.

They could have the navigation system choose a route that takes you past that new restaurant. Heck, combine this with in-car advertising. Have the entertainment system play an ad for the restaurant right as you drive by it.

When we have hands-free attention-free self-driving cars, this could be taken farther, and the whole route could be optimized around driving you by advertising businesses.

> One challenge not discussed here is when an accepted and highly voted answer _used_ to be a good answer, but no longer is in later versions of whatever software/platform/library is discussed. This is also something that gets worse over time, like the uniqueness problem.

It's not discussed because the solution is kinda obvious.. wikis mean editing, right? Even by anonymous users? That's also how it works on Stack Overflow. Edit the answer to make it better, more up to date, or add a disclaimer at the top that it only applies to very specific versions as needed.
> ...because some people think that 6DOF HMD + Touch is the first real generation of VR, and now it's time to make THAT affordable.

Of course it should be made affordable. But (for example) advanced mobile phone development was not stopped by manufacturers so they could focus on making iPhones affordable. There were continual cutting edge developments which eventually trickled down to budget models as manufacturing processes improved and market demands increased. This same cycle happens in all industries and for all products.

It would be ludicrous for people to say "Ok, the iPhone 1 is good enough, let's stop all development of the iPhone 2 - they're too expensive anyway guys - and start working on iPhone Budget Edition", yet that's what people are suggesting for VR.
I find this report funny because the quest is the real rift 2.

> I don't know what kind of conferences you attend, but I've never attended one where people got black-out drunk, nor have I attended any with my partner.

I've certainly seen numerous examples of this behavior around technical conferences. There are often runs to local bars or other establishments where its socially normal to drink. In fact, that's a common complaint about tech!

> On the other hand, I have attended conferences where we were specifically warned by the organizers about pick-pockets and not to go into certain parts of the (rather large, South American) city.

And did anyone write a long, statistics-citing rant about how unnecessary it is to warn people about this? I suspect the answer is no, and in fact no one did.

> Better than questioning the morality of looking into rich people's bank accounts, is the question of whether it is ethical for people to accumulate so much in the first place.

The economy is not a zero-sum game. Bezos has "accumulated" company stock by building the freaking company. He didn't stockpile food he took from someone's mouth. He created value, and got value in trade for it. That is not unethical.

I'm willing to debate whether it is ethical to be uncharitable if you have great means. But can we please dispense with the notion that merely being wealthy is wrong?

The problem right now is that oil is artificially cheap because its costs are externalized to society at large. If you charged oil companies in line with the social cost of their product, two things would happen:

1. They would try and run cleaner than their competitors to reduce their margins.

2. Whatever costs are passed on to the customer would affect customer behavior, reducing energy usage or making low impact energy more attractive.

WEBrick was ruby’s standard library httpd back in the day... I remember it being mostly unusable in production for different reasons. But every now and then a new httpd would appear: mongrel, unicorn, passenger, puma, etc…

Sometimes the new implementation was not only “faster” under certain benchmarks, but deemed superior for “philosophical” reasons… I think it was the case for unicorn that load balanced over a pool of unix processes.

Eventually I left the ruby/rails world behind. Not the main reason, but I remember performance problems being very frustrating.

To quote [an old, 2011 blog post from] antirez: “it is not ok that by default [ruby] is so damn slow”. [1]

I was expecting to find ruby state of affairs to be the same these days, but looking at TechEmpower’s recent benchmarks [2] (benchmark reading caveats apply), seems like ruby implementations are reasonably speedy nowadays: benchmarks reflect results within the same order of magnitude to the fastest ones, except for the plaintext benchamark. I extracted some interesting metrics below.

Still, Ruby consistently comes after the 100th entry for all benchmarks.

A lot of people will say that the reasons to use ruby are the gains in productivity and the expresibility, DSL capabilities, etc. If that’s the evaluation metric, maybe Clojure could be a good alternative. Also, it performs very well! (thanks to the JVM, no doutbts). I believe immutable by default is a better way to build apps, and in Clojure, the whole language is built around this concept. Ruby is the other way around: even parts of the language that shouldn't are open for modification!

I wonder if jRuby would be a good contender for performance.... but...

* I’m not sure why there are no jRuby implementations on the techempower benchmarks.. evidently, not a very popular technology?

* I’m guessing that startup time for tools like IRB must the one of the turnoffs for ruby people.

I'm sorry but your comment and the post you link to is complete nonsense economically and worse applied to Keynes and Friedman is utterly wrong. The article you linked is an honestly an embarrassment.

Furthermore nothing in the actual economics of either of these two people puts them squarely in the supply-side/demand-side 'camp' and furthermore those terms are used competently wrongly to the point of meaninglessness in public discussion anyway.

I don't want to get into a long post here, but your way oversimplifying the issue economist discuss to a point where it borders on satire.

I tried it for 5 minutes during my college days when I was "experienced" and... no fucking way. Maybe there are people who aren't as impacted but that is a very big and dangerous assumption. Please stop perpetuating this idea unless you have a study to back it up.
The characteristic impedance of a cable is distributed and depends on things like the spatial relation of the connector to the shielding, other internal conductors, and what the cable insulator is made of. Changes in these parameters result in local impedance changes, when electrical signals propagate down and reach changes in impedance, it cause reflections which show up as noise and loss. The more abrupt and large the impedance change is, the more extreme the reflections will be. Connectors are basically a hotspot for changes in the physical dimensions of the cable as it connects to a receptacle. Higher frequencies are more sensitive to changes in the physical geometry because of their smaller wavelength. Most decent BNC connectors will work up until a few GHz, most SMA up between 10 and 20 GHz. N connectors work up to almost 30 GHz.

That's mostly a perk for the question asker. Nobody (that I know of) stops reading at the first answer, because there are usually multiple good ways to solve any problem in programming. And if the accepted answer has a fraction of the upvotes of the answer just under it.. that's another strong signal to "keep scrolling"

Yea, just another consumption tax, all of which is always paid by the consumer. And since the price doesn't discriminate by an individual consumer's income, it becomes in practice regressive. It would be great here if the individual companies could be better held liable as opposed to an across the board tax.
This is answered in the article (pretty far down, I'll admit):

>But if all we have is the link, there are two problems here that we haven’t addressed.

>The first one is… you go visit this site and it delivers some code to you. How does it know what kind of code it should deliver to you? Because if you’re running on a Mac, then you need different machine code than you do on Windows. That’s why you have different versions of programs for different operating systems.

>Then should a web site have a different version of the code for every possible device? No.

>Instead, the site has one version of the code—the source code. This is what’s delivered to the user. Then it gets translated to machine code on the user’s device.
He didn't have to say his approach is better. He could have thanked people for pointing out the problem and announced this as an important step forward for GNU. The announcement could have been half the length, which is always better from a communications perspective, while also removing a lot of the weakest parts and avoiding an unnecessarily confrontational approach.

Put differently, the adage "better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt" definitely applies here. For anybody who has been working on codes of conduct, Stallman's thinking here is at best preaching to the choir. It won't convince anyone he disagrees with that he even understands their perspective, let alone has taken it seriously in formulating this policy.
The big negatives in Portugal is the fact stuff isn't actually legalized. Walking around Lisbon at night you're constantly accosted by thuggish groups of dealers offering cocaine, hash, marijuana, and other drugs.

If you watch them from a bar or something you'll see people interact with them and suddenly there are four of them around and they demand more and more money after the person had already paid the agreed upon price.

I even saw someone get jumped by a group of these guys after he protested that they had agreed to 20 euros for some weed and then wanted however much more.

They should make that studf legal so drug users can go buy quality drugs from the pharmacist or whatever and cleanup the streets of all the semi-violent and aggressive drug gangs that roam their cities.

The number of implants doesn't need to be that great. If you are already tapped into Supermicro's supply chain and ordering system, then you can already figure out when a bulk of servers passing through manufacturing are going out to a certain customer. Bribe someone or have an agent on the floor slip in the implant during assembly. Maybe the gerber files for the boards already have the necessary pads built-in for debug, maybe someone is swapping in modified gerbers. Maybe the implant is installed totally after hours when the boards are already built or when they are on their way to the final assembly facility.

When I first came across RISC OS years ago, I couldn't help but be amazed that the entire OS ran in only 4MB - and often burned to ROM[0]. Just the write-protection alone made this impressive to me - especially as something useful to the general population.

A short while later, I came across an effort to run a riscOS-based computer (circa 2001), basically on batteries[1]. It seemed to solidy the 'light on resources' aspect of the entire riscOS stack.

RISC OS usage[2] seems to indicate it's a little tricky (non-intuitive) for first-time users[2]. Hopefully if someone picks up development on this, improving the interface a bit (ie, 3-button mouse reliance, etc), plus adding wifi are things that are tackled first.

Honestly... would hate to see feature-bloat creep in too much. I played around with KolibriOS[3] the other day and there's certainly a benefit to small and fast!

> Is [immersion] being only in the programming environment and not leaving?
The dream is never leaving, as expressed by the Dynabook concept. However, in the full expression of that dream, the browser et al that you mention would also be inside the context.

In practice, things like using a browser for documentation is acceptable but not super common because viewing in the IDE is so much more powerful in certain ways (e.g. executable examples, finding "senders" of a message).

The idea is about having one's computer be "turtles all the way down" where you have the same power to change and explore every layer of the system without learning a whole new technology - from what we usually leave to the OS (which Dan Ingalls said "shouldn't exist") to what currently exists in apps (which Alan Kay and the creators of Smalltalk envisioned as services, which didn't stovepipe possibilities/power down to a small fraction of what's available).
