1) Scoble wrote Brin's glasses had lenses.

2) If it were just the tiny rectangle, wouldn't they be very inconvenient? I mean, I would have to look up constantly, instead of having image projected on my field of view. Pretty tiresome in the longer run. Plus, the "screen" would be too tiny, even this close to the eye.

I know the demo video was just CG, but it did suggest that the image would be projected across the whole field of view. (Well, the "main" part at least - i.e. whatever your typical glasses cover.)

So I'm really hoping this tiny rectangle is just a reflector / prism that projects the picture on glass lenses or the eye itself. Otherwise it's just not good enough.

(And I disagree this would obstruct your normal vision. The projected image would be semi transparent and it would affect just one eye.)
That awkward moment when it makes more sense to install the Windows version.
If it's an app you in tend to package up, or is portable, that might be an acceptable solution, but in the long term, using Nginx or Varnish (or even Apache) is likely the better answer, unless it is your objective to build a static file server in Node.

Otherwise, even if you can speed it up, and/or minimize its memory usage, you're still wasting cycles and memory in your app that needn't be spent on it. To a point, this is perfectly fine, but at some point, you're (hopefully) going to want to scale, and I promise that this is the first thing you'll want to look at.
You acknowledge the irony in trying to migrate away from X11 (a thirty-year-old technology) to "some other technology more modern", while staying with Unix (a forty-year-ald technology), right?

By which I mean, there are problems with X11, but age is just a correlated factor, not a cause, so it doesn't help to say we need something newer. Weyland makes different design decisions, and some of them might turn out to be better in the long run and some of them might not.

(Personally, I expect Weyland's lack of a "window manager" process will annoy me vastly more than the protocol quirks of X11, which have mostly been papered over by GTK+ and Qt by now.)
I second this, I've been developing with Apple wireless keyboard for years now, and I love it mostly because it's really small and I can access pretty much all the keys without moving hands much.
How to add CSS3 properties to CSSEdit
You know, that kind of sucks ... there are many machines around that are still on 32 bits.

I keep my own Ubuntu laptop (dual-boots to Windows) on 32-bit builds (both Linux and Windows), simply because I have less problems that way (mostly with hardware drivers, but also with software). I keep the Amazon EC2 instances I maintain on 32-bit images, simply because they are cheaper. My Android phone is also 32-bit and will be so for a long time. My other phone, an older iPhone 3GS, is also 32-bit. My servers, prior to Amazon EC2, built with ARM processors, were also 32-bit.

And when I was playing with MongoDB, do you know what I did when I discovered that the 32-bit build was basically unusable? I ditched it and never looked back.
Yes, but there are going to be pointers to heap objects in registers and on the stack.

I have a "Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite 2" that I bought from an old co-worker. It's noisier than the apple keyboards. The keys are loud, but it's a great keyboard. Once you get used to it, you don't want to use other keyboards. My co-founder has the pro and the action is better. The keys are a little quieter too.
looks like a lot of fat is being cut out.
Am I the only one who wants these only to write new software for them? Voice-controlled is nice and flashy, but I doubt would suffice for any "real" work. I, personally, like the idea of gloves and a windowed interface on HUDs, the kind of gloves that let you tap your fingers to do certain actions, along with some identifier for tracking so you could "click" on the screen. I was also thinking about looking into a 3d windowed interface, relative to your glasses, but detachable into the enviroment so you could put you virtual keyboard on your desk and go get coffee; when you came back, it'd still be there.

I'm a fan of the TypeMatrix 2030: http://typematrix.com/

It's not perfect - in particular, the double-height shift keys take too much good pinky real estate. But it's very comfortable.

I haven't tried any other ergonomic keyboards, so I can't compare.
Elitekeyboards also offers models from Leopold.

(http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=leopold,tenkeyles...)

These are a lot less expensive than happy hacking and also have a reduced size form-factor (no numpad).

I got the model with cherry-mx blue switches (very clicky and tactile like the old 80's IBM keyboards). I got the "otaku" model without the key markings and it looks very cool.
RHEL 6 and the clones, and Debian stable, are fairly solid on most hardware I believe.

Its worth mentioning that Ubuntu 12.04 is still in testing.

Are they hoping that eventually the big crowd will just give up because its too much work fighting the government with their own rules.
And why? Because companies think that this is the medicine to their failing. Government wants the power they shouldn't have...what's new with that? If China did it so can they right?
Happy hacking uses topre switches, which are about as high quality rubber dome as it gets, but you really pay through the nose for them. Das uses cherry mx, which are spring buckling switches (like the model m), and are much cheaper then topres, even though they cost more to produce. I am also a big fan of cherry switches, but I know many huge keyboard nerds who swear up and down that topres are the best there is.
While long and random passwords are a good thing, there are still applications that make that very difficult to use.

I'm looking at you, Apple AppStore, letting me choose a new password after only the second wrongly-entered, disallowing copy&paste on that website to enter the new password, requiring JavaScript on that website to enforce the no-copy&paste rule and then not showing me the characters I enter.

That's ridiculous. After the fifth attempt to enter my 20-character password correctly (which was chosen randomly by my Password manager), I gave up and entered a 8-character password.

So the problem is not only the user, but also ridiculous application requirements.

This sounds terrible, but for me at least it is true.

I don't fill out forms unless I have to because I sit back in my chair, relaxing surfing the web, and use my mouse almost exclusively to do so. To fill out a form I have to move and do something. I have to shift my comfy position, lean forward and get both hands involved. Too often I will find that I wasted my time and effort as what I get for filling out a form was simply not worth it.

Honestly, and perhaps, tragically, that is the real reason why. Other reasons, like those in the article, do play a part, but effort is a huge part of it.

If there were some way that I could fill out a form by clicking my mouse a few times, I'd be more likely to.
Debian doesn't ship with proprietary drivers, so it's not a valid comparison.
Filco Majestouch Ninja Tenkeyless [1]

It's a mouthful, but the important points are 1) mechanical switches (mine has Cherry brown switches), 2) heavy -- it feels solid and stays put on your desk, and 3) no numpad. I guess there's also 4) it looks cool. It's the best keyboard I've ever used.

I didn't downvote you but I guess you are getting some hate for considering rust a scripting language, since it has none of the features traditionally associated with such languages (simple vm or interpreter, dynamic typing, no compile step).

I think you may be confusing it with something else.
On that trend of off topics, I was part of a small movie buff group back in Lebanon. Nothing fancy, we just liked to meet and discuss movies we watched and liked. Clearly no title was ever translated. Movies weren't even dubbed (blasphemy!), subtitled if necessary.

Hacking Art and Bangladesh Culture one artist at a time.
I am afraid the terminology you use is not canonical.

A hash (function) is any function that maps a big variable-length data structure to a smaller (fixed-length) data structure.

A checksum is a special hash (function) which has the purpose of detecting accidental errors during transmission or storage. (This makes them different from hash functions used for example in hash tables. For example relevant question: minimum how many badly transmitted bits are needed to break the error detection in the case of a specific checksum?)

A cryptographic hash function is another kind of special hash function which also has a very good definition on wikipedia.

(Basically these are the definitions on Wikipedia, and I think they are fine. If the terminology you use would be canonical we would use the name 'checksum table' instead of 'hash table', and it would be quite illogical also, because the term 'checksum' really includes purpose in its name 'checking something').

Both data on the stack and registers may potentially contain the sole live pointer to a particular heap object, so unless you only run GC from some sort of main event loop, it's generally necessary to treat the stack and registers as potential roots as well.
That's the image he wanted to put out. But if he didn't care about money, why didn't he split the entire Breakout bonus money with Wosniak? Compare to Wosniak, who used his money to fund two large, public rock concerts.

Perhaps money wasn't first in his mind, but it must have been high up. Money gives flexibility. Flexibility to go to the October harvest at the apple orchard commune All-One Farm (with the Breakout money), or flexility to buy new cars all the time, in order to avoid having to put a license plate on.

The money quote, as it were, from Jobs is: “I was worth over $1,000,000 when I was 23, and over $10,000,000 when I was 24, and over $100,000,000 when I was 25, and it wasn’t that important because I never did it for the money.” Tell me, if you don't care about money then are you going to remember when you were worth $1, 10, and 100 million?

> I guess, but what's the value of a "checksum" that fails to detect certain "cryptographically secure" changes in a file?

Sufficient. all hashes (cryptographically secure or not) will fail to detect some changes, that's a hash collision and that's an intrinsic and non-negotiable property of m:n mappings where len(m) > len(n). "Checksums" assume there is no attack being performed, as in nobody is trying to craft a collision. In "normal operations", even with pretty shitty hash functions (e.g. CRCs) hash collisions between subsequent file changes (or whatevere) are unlikely enough.

Secure hashes need to be fast. If you look at the ongoing SHA-3 competition, you will see an enormous focus on speed, on both software and hardware.

Why do they need to be fast? They're used everywhere. Opening up notepad.exe, you'll verify a handful of digital signatures, each of which will compute a hash of the binary as first order of business. HMAC is used in virtually every secure network protocol worth using --- it uses an underlying hash as building block. Need a fast (determistic) pseudorandom generator? Hashes it is.

Password hashing (and key derivation) is about the single use of hashes that requires computational hardness. It should be treated separately.
Actually you said that it doesn't matter in which direction the system breaks, which is preposterously false.
I had a similar experience when I was developing an app for my own use. At the time, you needed to be a registered developer to load your own applications on your phone. I grabbed the free 1-year student developer program they had and started the signup process. I couldn't get past verifying the account and linking my profile to the Marketplace.

Several support tickets later (weeks later), they come back and say because I had my Live account for such a long time, there were problems with upgrading the account over the years, and I should create a new account for app development. I did that, still had the same issue. Weeks later, I'm told that it's my browser that's causing the issue. After trying every version of every browser I have, weeks later I'm told they're having problems with student developer accounts.

By that time, the $10 sanctioned jailbreak was released, so I just dropped the issue. I didn't want my apps on the marketplace anyway, so I settled.

Refactoring the design was mandatory to meet statutory emission and fuel consumption limits. Moving to water cooling, reducing aerodynamic drag and using lightweight materials were all necessitated by this.

There's a DVD called "The Porsche Way" available at the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen in which F.A. Porsche himself defends the move to water cooling, justifying it with legislation.

As it is, Porsche already has to pay CAFE penalties in the US, and similar legislation exists in the EU as well, called Flottenverbrauch.
