reasonable SIMD support (let's limit it to SSE2 and above for "reasonable") has been in every Intel processor since what, Pentium 4? it's not much of a bolt-on anymore. one of the causes of the lack of good programming models for SIMD is that autovectorization was supposed to generate SIMD code for every application, but autovectorization isn't actually that great for many (most?) applications. (plus naive developers generally write terrible code--if array of structures versus structure of arrays doesn't make sense to you, you're probably writing code that cannot be autovectorized)

the lack of a magic compiler bullet is infinitely more true as soon as you look at anything remotely like a GPU, which gets into other more complicated problems due to a distinct memory space.

if I were to add any features like that to Go, I'd probably look in the direction of generating ISPC ( http://ispc.github.com/ ) or ISPC-like output. no need to solve the distinct address space issue (which you cannot solve), you have work creation so you don't need to do crazy scheduling hoops like persistent launches on the GPU, and it performs very well on Intel processors for SIMD-friendly applications.

Honestly, if it were my company, I wouldn't comment on either revenue or number of employees with the media. It's none of their business.
From a technical point of view this is remarkable. Seems like the recognition works really well, and that's great.

However, from a usability point of view this is probably awful. I've had an app on my phone for a while now that doesn't do handwriting recognition but just stores the handwritten stuff as images. Using that without a proper pen-like stylus is a pain. Writing with your fingers just doesn't really work. Fingertips are just not accurate enough for this kind of movement, which is precisely why we guide a pen with multiple fingers instead of just one.

Additionally it's much slower than just typing it out, even on the sucky on-screen-keyboard that you're provided with these days.

So it's slow and surprisingly hard to use. And frankly, I don't see styluses making their big comeback next year. People are just too addicted to touching things with their fingers.
I really wish more languages had the option of using a Haskell style type system.

Note that Unity 2D is based on Qt and also works pretty well these days. It seems that they have spread the risks somewhat.

I do thing the general developments in the ecosystem are somewhat worrying. Nokia's involvement in Qt is becoming more clouded, and everyone is distracted by tablets and smartphones (and naturally, the money streams go into those directions).

That said, that's also an opportunity for more consolidation, so if Canonical play their cards right, the open source desktop may become more single minded and effective.
I admit I don't fully understand financial analysis, so I don't understand how he got to $10. However I do know math and I figure I could do a reasonable comparison of stock prices. What I wanted was an apples to apples comparison between FB and GOOG. To do this I figured out what FB's price should be if it were valued like GOOG.

What I needed to know were the number of shares outstanding, the current stock price, and their revenues. A simple lookup gives me the first two items, and I have the last one from the article itself.

To get the values in terms of revenues, I multiplied the number of stock outstanding with the stock price, and then divided by the revenue. This gets me the stock to revenue ratio of GOOG.

Shares * Price
-------------- = Stock to Revenue ratio
Revenue

GOOG's equation looks something like this: 326M * 613 / 36.5B ~= 5.475 S:R

Knowing this, I can now start calulating FB's ratio and solve for it's stock price.

2140M * FBStockPrice / 3.71B = 0.576 * FBStockPrice

Solving for FBStockPrice...

0.576 * FBStockPrice = 5.475, FBStockPrice = 9.4917

Valve CEO: Windows 8 Is a ‘Catastrophe’ for Game Developers
Do I understand this right? Hardware manufacturers for the ARM based Windows 8 devices are required to only allow Microsoft signed boot loaders on their devices?

They are not allowed to provide a "switch" to disable this signature check?

If they want Windows 8 on their devices they have to lock out every non-signed OS?

How does Microsoft make sure that Windows 8 does not run on unlocked devices? Or is this only a legal/licensing matter?

Wanted: Astronauts
Wow. That's a lot of words for what's essentially just a back-of-the-envelope estimate.

Besides, claiming that the fair value is $10 but you should only buy at $5 is really odd. You must be extremely risk averse to require a 100%/year return. And that's after he discounted 30% relative to Google. Also, if predicting Facebook's financials is easier than it was to predict early Microsoft's, why should anyone expect returns as large as early Microsoft investors?

I suggest the saner, and much more concise estimate by NYU's Prof. Aswath Damodaran:

That's pure quibbling on my part but I'd prefer to download a directory as BitTorrent supports that and I wouldn't have to unzip anything.
I find the title a bit sensationalist.

Apple already knows this is the post PC era, it declared and helped usher it in. Macs will still be needed now and for the foreseeable future.

Before passing away, Steve Jobs remarked that tablets will be the cars the majority of drivers need and PCs/Macs will be the trucks for doing the rest of the heavy work.

"Rise seen": is that because they were not looking before or is there an actual rise?

Also, as this person's job status essentially depends on such a rise, I see this more as a vendor-pitch in government style: "There is a big problem out there, but you are very lucky! Because, behold, I am the right person (/have the right product) to help you deal with exactly this problem. And a 17-fold increase should also mean a 17-fold budget increase, right?"

I guess the problem here is that they are under no legal framework, for what they do with their profits.

ISPs these days I'd have thought would actually be classed as a utility company. Many local governments - even the police are using the Internet for information dissemination. So we are reliant upon it. For me it's a natural replacement, it sure beats wasting reems of paper.

In some ways utility companies should be under tougher regulation. I'd prefer them to be non-profits. But you have to incentivise prospective investors some way. Perhaps social enterprises could fill this space? Profits could be capped at lower levels and positive reinvestment enforced. Quite how though? I am sure money could easily be hemorrhaged through R & D departments, maybe it should go in a general state sponsored science money pot.
You're comparing ad-hoc polymorphism with subtype polymorphism. Doing so will lead you to the expression problem:

GNOME is not necessary anymore. It was in the past, not today.

We have Qt that really works, much much better, and with LGPL license.

You can run stellarium, VLC or Marble in Mac or Windows without problems.

If you try to use gimp or inkscape in mac it opens x11, copy and paste does not work(in inkscape it copies pixmaps instead of vectors!!), what a botched job.

In windows you will have a lot of problems too.

GTK support for OpenGL, OpenCL was terrible, having to low code everything, while in Qt works as well as with cocoa.

Let GTK die and improve(or fork) Qt.

People thought that TV & radio would take off, both media that don't require literacy to use/consume/watch. However the internet means everone has to read AND write in order to interact. People have to be able to string words together. People have to be able to write to have friendly.

Computers have probably done lots for literacy.

You can see it a little bit now when much older people who don't use computers a lot, write things. They aren't very literate, probably because they haven't written as much as young people have.

Yes, definitely this is not a simple treatment. Among other things it requires lifetime immunosuppressive medications.

So at least for now this will never be used in places without a strong medical establishment.

However it's a lot easier to find donations for a cure than for a treatment. So money will probably not be a factor - instead they will have to try to build a complete medical community in each area.

This may end up being a positive thing since good doctors are useful for more than just transplants :)

Places like India will probably have no trouble, but Africa will.

When Unity 2D will not be available, does it mean that Ubuntu will NOT run as a VirtualBox guest? I recently switched from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 in VirtualBox - mostly for development. I start to like Unity. But Ubuntu 12.04 is much slower than 10.04, in terms of GUI and responsiveness.

So what are Ubuntu's plans for GUI performance?

1. As the author says toward the end of the article, I think the biggest problem with Gnome nowadays is that only a small number of people actually use it on a day-to-day basis. Popular distros like Ubuntu and Mint have shifted away from it. No matter what merits Gnome 3 might have, it was such a flop in its first few releases that it has the Windows Vista stigma attached to it. Of course, there's GTK and several Gnome apps that people do use on a daily basis. But for many people, Gnome itself is decidedly uncool. No wonder they don't want to contribute to it.

2. If Gnome really wants to win back the hearts of potential contributors (i.e. power users), they'd better make programs that appeal to that demographic. People who have the skill and motivation to make significant contributions to a free software project often want a lot of room for configuration, including the option to use the desktop in a traditional manner. Taking away those little checkboxes and toolbar buttons is like slamming the door on power users. You might win a billion non-technical users, but none of them will ever submit a single patch.

3. Gnome is too big for its own good. Why does a desktop environment project need to maintain a complete stack of apps and libraries, from GTK to Gnome Shell to a text editor to a bundle of games to a web browser to an email client to a media player to a full-blown spreadsheet app? Why can't they just tell people to get a third-party browser? They should spin off the rest and focus on GTK, the Shell, and a small number of essential utilities. If Epiphany or Gnumeric died a slow and lonely death, how many people would really care? Heck, if you don't have the manpower to maintain anything else, just give me GTK so I can install xfce or lxde on top of it. It's really just Firefox and LibreOffice and VLC that I want, and I don't need Gnome to run them.

Edit: some rephrasing.
Since you've admitted to curmudgeonry, maybe you'd represent curmudgeons for a bit. I'm always confused by these kinds of comments. What exactly is bugging you?

5 minutes of intense exercise today will actually have a big effect on your body if its intensive enough. 5 minutes a day on abs or biceps or whatever will have a big effect on those. That's not a lie.

You're not going to get the body you would get with 2 hrs a day, obviously. Is that what it is? You should be targeting the kind of body you get with 2 hours a day. If so, isn't starting on a 5 minutes a day routine with enough noticeable effects to keep you motivated a good way to get on that path?*

Most of the people that buy into the 5 minute ab hype, won't get the abs. That's because the hype focusing on selling it to them initially is more effective than the hype keeping them doing it. To a cynical curmudgeon, the inevitable failure rate jumps off the screen. Is that what you're reacting to?

Is it the false advertising? The informercials show people with 2% body fat people who obviously compliment 5 minutes of ab exercises with swimming, weights, yoga & occasional triathlons. Do you think "learn to code quickly" misrepresents what you get?

*Obviously the analogy is to a masters degree & 6 years in challenging programming jobs.
I would have hoped that displayport would replace LVDS, which would allow theese kind of hacks to be much easier and a lot cheaper.

Have laptops made the switch yet? (since they use displayport externally seems like it would be in their interest to use it internally as well) In that case the new MPB panel would perhaps be more suitable (and probably cheaper in the end - as well as better quality (I'm assuming/hoping it has 8 bits, but I don't know)).

And with displayport you could just hook it up to a decent gamer graphic card and be done. I'm not sure how feasible 2048x1536 is for a single-link DVI (at 60 Hz you would probably be in trouble), and graphic cards with 4 dual link DVI connectors isn't exactly mainstream so you would have to get (at least two) active displayport to DL DVI adapters, and they are not cheap either.

Written on the Eastern Air Shuttle between Boston and N.Y.

What will life be like in the year 2012? There will have been no nuclear war, and the threat of such a war will have been removed by the mutual nuclear disarmament of the major powers. SDI, Reagan's ill advised Star Wars program will have come to nothing.

Japan will be the central economic power in the world, owning or controlling a significant part of European and American industries. This "economic dictatorship" will be beneficial to Japan's client states, since Japan benefits by keeping its customers healthy and wealthy. Indeed, a peaceful and prosperous world community will owe its existence to this Pax Japanica.

Many diseases will be curable: diabetes and gout, for example, will be treated by 'genetic engineering' techniques. Multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease will be effectively cured. However, AIDS will not yet have been controlled. It will have become the leading cause of death worldwide with millions of new cases each year.

The American economy will have experienced a gentle yet relentless decline. Our children will not live such comfortable lives as we do. The spread between the rich and the poor will have grown, and crime will have become so prevalent as to threaten the social fabric. The rich and the poor will form 2 armed camps. Most automobiles and heavy machinery will be manufactured in Japanese owned planets located in America. Yet, agriculture and higher education will be our most successful exports. There will be no fast trains connecting American cities, but a network of levitated superconducting trains will be under construction in Western Europe and in Japan.
