Without really absorbing the entire article (it got confusing to me at first glance as to which quote was from a Fedora official representative and which wasn't), I wonder if this is the reason why. Since I believe Fedora is the only officially distributed OS for the RPi, I can imagine Fedora wanting to jump on that chance. There may have been some kind of pressure (even just the request) from the RPi Foundation to make this change.

It makes sense. ARM has a bright future. The difficulty lies in drivers for all the various SoC architectures. I'm not sure how Debian handles that, not having used Debian on ARM.

One reason for consumers is built-in deflation. Money has to be scarce; 21million is a ridiculously low number, and bitcoins are very scarce.
Your entire reply is based on the fallacy that a high-end ARM would operate in the same way a low-end ARM does. Most of the energy and die space, etc. etc. in a CPU is dedicated to the caches. L1, L2, and sometimes L3. And they keep getting bigger even as the rest of the CPU gets smaller.

A low-end ARM doesn't worry about heat because it's "underpowered" (loosely speaking). But if you want to approach the performance of an i5, the natural side effects will be tons of heat, much, much worse battery life, and even then, only mediocre performance.

There's a lot more to a CPU than RISC vs CISC. Intel has put decades of research into chip design and various instruction-level optimizations that take place within the CPU. You're making a big mistake assuming ARM can just directly scale their smartphone/tablet CPUs to the multi-core behemoths that are today's Sandy Bridge and tomorrow's Ivy Bridge. It just doesn't work that way - look at AMD.

At the end of the day and at this point in time, ARM entering the high-performance desktop sector would be as poorly executed as Intel's foray into the low-energy CPU segment with Atom... except it would suck more.
I hate that link between G+ and gchat, also.

How to Improve Coding Style (In Python)
Every single one of those things is faster and easier if handled automatically.

Ask the bookseller where to find a book? I don't do that now unless I've looked for the book myself and failed to find it, because it makes me feel lazy, and because it's not always easy to find someone without going to the cashier.

Ask someone for directions? People suck at giving directions, and they're slow at giving those bad directions. There's a reason people buy GPS units, and it's not because they're anti-social. It's because they work so much better.

Call your friend just to ask where he is when you expect him to arrive any minute? That comes off as impatient. And it's an inconvenience for your friend who has to answer his phone just to tell you he's almost there.
If you read that bug, it was WONTFIX'd because they chose a different way of scheduling vacuums.
As someone who has terrible vision, I've been waiting for this type of thing for years. I have trouble reading menus at fast food restaurants or street signs. The ability to just pull up context aware information in front of my eyes would be amazing. I looked into doing it myself with some AR goggles, but the cameras in them just were not good enough yet.

I've loved this idea ever since I read about the glasses in Accelerando[1], and I can't wait for a project like this that gets to market, especially if it is open source.

Learning about assembly/to-the-metal coding is probably not the best way to learn programming. "OP? LOAD? REGISTER? PC LOAD LETTER? What's a word? There's only 8 registers? Does that mean I can only save 8 things? What do you mean I have to push things into a stack?"

This is why most people advocate learning python or ruby. You don't have to deal with the underlying manipulation of the computer until you've decided you actually like programming.

The Google car has been hit by another car and it's not ridiculous at all to not ship something that can very easily kill someone (and in this case, almost assuredly innocent bystanders) before you've had time to work out the bugs.

It's a silly debate anyways considering all the extra hardware you'd need.
It seems that I'm the only one here in the comments with this opinion, but I think it's "not a bad thing" (TM).

Yahoo! can still make money. It can still be a "successful" company. What it's not any more is a giant that can be ranked along the likes of Microsoft, Google, and as of very recently and who knows for how long, Facebook. What it needs to do is become much, much slimmer. Focus on its core products, come up with good ways to capitalize on their (still) enormous user base while it lasts, and cut the fat.

The fact of the matter is that any company going from one of the biggest giants in the industry to "just another tech company" has tons of fat it needs to shave off. Yes, it sucks that our friends and family are losing their jobs, but from Yahoo!'s point of view, it's really the only solution at this point. They've tried to maintain their "giant" status for a few years now, and a demi-merger with MS would have been their last hope. But it's clear that it's not working and Yahoo! needs to slim down, focus, and then worry about reclaiming its spot in the limelight. You can't rebuild while losing money at the seams.

I would argue that to maintain their core identity and products, two thousand employees isn't even close to cutting it. They need to cut anything that takes too much effort/money, employs too many employees, and isn't one of their core strengths. They don't need 14k/18k employees, they need to get rid of eight to ten thousand of those and hire just a hundred or so hard-core R&D idea/deployment heads, and work their way from there.

The only thing that Yahoo! can't do is pretend everything is fine and dandy until it's too late to do anything about it. Like it or not, the people (these human beings with families that are about to lose their jobs) that were hired during days of yore are simply not sustainable nor in the company's best interest to keep.
As I said "There's a middle ground between not spending and spending extravagantly." Whether that is experiences or material goods. A $500 nightclub night once a year in Vegas is perfectly reasonable. A $500 nightclub night every weekend is probably over the line for most people.
>Thus, to securely use Bitcoin you really need a third party either a 'bank' or a vary secure device.

Things like the BitcoinArmory client [1] + upcoming multi-sig transactions should make it secure enough relative to traditional currencies.

Plus, their control panel pages to assign custom nameservers doesn't work half the time! (or at least, it didn't in 2010 when I used them).

Philippe Kahn: The Future of Mobile is Motion
When I was young my grandfather got me a pair of augmented reality glasses. They had thick green rims and he also got a pair for my sister, Janine. Her pair had red rims.

We put the glasses on right away and boy did they augment! After that we really only took them off to sleep.

About three weeks later our family took a trip to New York City. We were looking at all the tall buildings and they were really tall and beautiful.

Then we took the glasses off and realized we were in Hoboken!
I never understood Amazon's stance. Their whitepaper and case studies just says medical companies have built applications on our cloud. What they fail to mention is whether they were only able to do so by anonymizing the data prior to upload which means in fact there isn't any PHI on their clould.

They seem to circumvent these disclosures for the obvious reasons of liability and the fact that today you really need a signed Business Associate (BA) agreement with any 3rd party company that may host PHI. Hospital compliance officers would have a heart attack if they hear 'clould' and no BA offered.

The whole AWS medical position feels very hand wavy--yet another reasons this whole medical industry has such a hard time innovating.

So if I use your service my files will be also in your Dropbox account (which is also shared with some other users)? So if somebody gets into your account it can restore my files via Dropbox restore even after I de-authorized your application?

I also don't like that a relatively small mistake/bug can cause that my files can be accessed by some other user.

Good luck.
I'm guessing that some of the "new customers" that Groupon delivers are customers you don't want.

I remember my girlfriend many years ago working in a restaurant that offered a ‘kids eat free’ deal one night a week. People would come in with their kids and their neighbors’ kids, order one burger and let the restaurant feed a bunch of kids for nothing. Obviously the restaurant needed to put some terms around the deal, which they later did, but some people are just a blight on humanity in this way.
Why do you need a land rover? It's located practically within the city.

You just get a trip there and that's what you do. Or you can hike.

There's also an out-of-service submarine base in montenegro, and you would not need land rover either since it's on island.

GCC doesn't merge the 4 byte-level reads into one 32-bit read. Thus, it does cause some performance penalty. The true impact is probably quite low, but it does exist on x86.

It is true however, that GCC will take a series of bit ops and produce a 'bswap' instruction on x86, but that requires a full 32-bit word to start with.
Worrying.

The car business is fantastically large. If Google can license its technology to power the next stage of personal transportation, the revenue received will dwarf its 30% vig on selling Angry Birds.

Either way, it's not that they are taking money and resources from Android and dedicating them to cars and augmented reality. I don't think more money and more people is what Android needs.

Ya, it really lacks the integrity that is the underpinnings of the porn industry.
WTF are you still there? Are you an H1B sponsored by Yahoo and thus trapped?
Huh, I thought the video was actually really depressing except for two features: taking a picture to send to my friends, and sharing a stream of what I'm looking in a video call. I guess I don't really see the value of putting apps in my eyes. But I do see a ton of value in sharing my eyes and having people share their eyes with me.
Yes and No.

If you bundle JIT with garbage collection, bounds checking, and all the usual things that come with the JVM/CLR and execute on current hardware, probably not.

If you were to JIT a language like C it would probably be faster as you could optimize to specific hardware. OpenCL uses JIT for example and it's many times faster than static compilation (because it can take advantage of extra hardware at runtime).

The issue to contend with is the reality that about 30 years of the industry have gone into making C fast, everything from compilers to the way CPUs are designed. There's likely no inherent reason any style of compilation / execution couldn't beat static compilation, it's just we need the same level of resources and hardware support for those execution models.

For instance with garbage collection and bounds checking you no longer need an MMU.
My history is the opposite. I failed to understand objects in C++, then learned Java, and then learned Perl. Playing with the mechanism helped me understand OO. (Exploring Smalltalk after that helped.)

After learning Moose a couple of years ago, I don't miss the Perl 5 mechanism at all.

It's probably good for bookstore scenario but for asking people about maps requires that there must be (helpful) people around with good knowledge of the area. And for friend's location, calling requires input from someone else (which makes it slower, costlier, and imagine getting call from your friend asking for your location every x minutes [you can only do that so many times without "crossing the line"])

Having used Debian on an ARM development board, the issue is handled by "you supply the kernel, we'll supply the rest." On most ARM systems there's a robust firmware that allows you to load a kernel from just about anywhere.

For my system, I used multistrap to create a very basic Debian installation. I then TFTP over a kernel and boot using the minimal installation as an NFS rootfs. Once, I got everything to a decent state, all I had to do was copy over the rootfs to a local ubifs flash filesystem and tweak the boot params to boot from the new ubifs root.

I am in complete agreement that augmented reality ("AR") has the potential to be a game changer for physical tasks. It is the kind of thing that has the potential to raise the effective IQ of the user quite substantially.

The military has spent a fair amount of time working on something similar to what you describe for vehicular repair. I think you might find the videos off of this page ( http://graphics.cs.columbia.edu/projects/armar/index.htm ) and this page ( http://singularityhub.com/2010/01/11/augmented-reality-to-he... ) very suggestive of the kind of thing you are looking for in medicine.

I haven't seen the same level of thing yet for medical systems, though it may exist. I have seen some work on using AR for visualization of imaging (e.g. map the CT scan onto the body I am looking at). I think the sort of direct procedural guidance you describe is probably harder for people than it is for vehicular repair. At the core that is probably just a computational problem though.
The tutorial is a brilliant touch, and very useful!
If you've followed the DARPA Grand Challenge since 2004, you'll realize that it's _not_ just a school science project. The Google car is going to be ready for market far before the legal, insurance, and other non-technical issues are sorted out.

In other words, they could ship "now" if they weren't doing such a revolutionary product. If you make a trivially incremental improvement on an already-existing product (iPad3) then that's a lot easier

That's the problem with the google boys, they're a one hit wonder. They lucked out with search, a research project, and now they think they know what they're doing. They need to take their bozo hat off and realize they need to partner with the rest of the world to get stuff done. Apple's success is not just due to Job's taste but also extensive ties with chinese manufacturers and real focused hard work. A "secret" X lair in the second most expensive city in america ain't gonna cut it.

That's they problem with google, they still haven't figured out they're a one hit wonder, real business is much harder edged than the "playtime" for kids that goes on there.

Right, that is the point that both Herb and myself agree on: current managed languages have chosen paths where fewer errors, safety and productivity are more important than raw performance.

That said, although bounds checking eliminates some of the reasons for MMUs, it does not really solve many other features that we take for granted today that depend on MMUs, like on-demand-loading.

Garbage collectors and VMs typically use the MMU to improve the performance of their own operations. You use the MMU to cause execution to stop, you use MMUs to setup redzones on the stack to avoid checking on every function entry point for how much space is left on the stack and VMs use the MMU to map their metadata into their address space without having to load them from file and provide the services on demand.
Depends how left shift is implemented: on some processors (including x86), only the lowest order bits of the number of positions to shift by are used. In Java:

char A = 1;
A = ((char) ((A << 32) & 0xFFFF));
System.out.println(Integer.toHexString(A));

actually outputs 1.
