It depends on the SoC used. Some will have 1 or 2 SATA controllers on board. This board is based on the Exynos 4412 which I don't think has SATA controllers on board (can't find a full datasheet). This means adding them externally, not big deal right? But, 99% of SATA controllers today are built to talk PCI-Express, and the Exynos SoC doesn't speak PCI-Express! We're screwed...

Basically the same thing happens with gigabit Ethernet (and USB 3.0). Unless the SoC has the controller on-board or has PCI-Express (few do) there really isn't a way to plug the external controller into the SoC. 10/100 Ethernet is slow enough that you can pump its data in and out of the SoC using a SPI port and get most of the speed and many SoCs now have a 10/100 controller and USB 2.0 controllers on board. There is no spec limit to the speed of SPI but its a single ended 2 wire protocol limiting its realistic usage to the several tens of Mbit/sec.

The problem is that there is no commonly accepted, generic, very high speed I/O protocol for embedded devices so if they choose not to implement PCI-Express your left without a way to pump information into and out of the SoC at fast enough speeds to support these new interfaces.

PC gaming rocks.

PC gaming should rock, but as long as the AAA end of the industry is plagued by rushed-out-before-the-holidays titles full of bugs, graphics driver and other hardware compatibility problems, "anti-cheating" and "copy protection" software that is little more than malware in nice clothing, and you-don't-really-own-anything licensing set-ups where most/all of the value of a game can be arbitrarily taken away from me, I'll spend my money somewhere else.

That somewhere else might be small/independent PC games makers, or GoG, or puzzle game apps on a tablet, but most likely I find it's nothing to do with computer gaming at all. It wasn't the games that killed the fun for me, it was all the abusive junk almost everyone started including with them, and that only seems to be getting worse with time.
This wasn't meant to be an attack, I've really enjoyed the tutorial and will definitively look at it if I was to do some art.

Read the Republic Wireless forums to see how many people actually understand the QoS settings of their router. These people are seemingly power users at the least, and certainly early adopters. Perhaps it's the acronym soup engineers expect the laymen to know, or perhaps it's the laziness of the typical end user, but I suspect it is a little of both.

Life: It's all about love, not personal ambition. I love and am loved by my family. I do meditation and find there that I love and am loved by my higher power. I love others I don't know (and possibly even some I do know) by writing software for intensive-case unit medical devices. Finding a way to use my programming skills to selflessly help others has been transformative.

Programming: Two for the price of one:

1) Really understanding locality of concerns. I.e., creating and using granite-like abstractions so that when I use them I don't have to think at all about what is under the hood. So, when I need to reason through a given piece of code, I have a local and finite amount of the rest of the system that I have to load into my finite brain. I can inductively assume that the abstractions I am viewing as primitives are themselves reliable.

2) Beginning programmers write simple code. Intermediate programmers write complex code. Master programmers write simple code.
I don't disagree, but describing things generously is okay sometimes. I'd rather be part of a community that supports learners than one that mocks them for their baby steps.

I fall under the same definition as you...Full stack developer to me means that you can find your way around installing, configuring, maintaining and debugging things throughout the entire stack, not necessarily that you can develop/program things at each level of the stack.

I have built servers, installed, config'd and maintained web servers (LAMP), setup mail servers, setup networks, built web applications (front-end and back-end), debugged operating system issues, network issues, database issues, recovered lost data...and I would consider myself to be a full stack developer, but according to other peoples definitions I wouldn't be if I hadn't done any major modifications throughout each level of the stack...which by that narrow definition would mean that there are probably very few "full stack developers" in the world

Hi, could anyone help me with understanding why the lambda papers deserve a whole book? What I understand from the history is that they are a set of papers that define and explain the Scheme programming language.

If so, shouldn't the book be broader by including more of literature on LISP or even AI programming in general?

Depending on the subfield of computational biology you are in, you might try contacting one of the mailing lists or discussion forums. For example, http://www.biostars.org/ is a stack-exchange-like site for bioinformatics, and I see there have been some questions there regarding careers, however, with few answers.

If you're working with perl or python, then there are the respective bioperl and biopython mailing lists.

But "computational biology" covers a huge number of subfields, so you should dig up more about what you're interested in. Medical informatics? Pathways? Protein folding? Neuroscience? Something else?
I took a healthy severance from a company that bought my previous employer with government backing.

In addition to that, other people surely needed the funds, which seemed limited at the time, more than I did.

Neither did the FORTRAN and COBOL programmers back in the days. The reason is that there were plenty to do (and still is) for those already involved. That is also the case to a less degree with C++. It is just that most of the growth has been elsewhere. You won't find much web programming in C++, which is the area where the largest growth has been. There sure is some, I even have encountered web application in FORTRAN, but most web applications are written in PHP, Java, Ruby, Python and others, not C++.

The chip has sata but no Ethernet so that's connected via USB. Hence not enough bandwidth for gigabit, plus the power consumption is much higher. These socs are designed for tablets and phones so Ethernet is not a priority.
Exynos has one sata according to block diagram I saw and the Arndale board supports it. Ethernet is via USB. Mine hasn't shipped yet though...

I've been some time developing a solution for most of us. It's a website called Parkuik that will use a wiki-like environment to make us easier to find parkings (some of you may have had this problem on your city :-P) with the help of all of us.

I can just develop it when I have some time on weekends, but it is starting to have some users and I hope sooner than later It'll be one of the reference websites for this :)

You can find it here: http://www.parkuik.com

Hope you can visit it and tell me whatever you think that can be done to improve it :)
You say, I don't think I could have picked up all the others so quickly if I didn't have a strong C/C++ foundation., but I ask you this: was it the C or the C++ foundation that helped you learn the others? I can see how knowing C could ease the transition to learning JS and ObjC since those both -- superficially at least -- have syntactic similarities to C. But how did knowing C++ help you with those languages, especially Python and HTML? Was it mere familiarity with programming in general that helped or was it something specific to C++?

Mentioned in the section on float:

Might make more sense to offer the double type here since a double is floating point.
This is very interesting. I have been able to tell that so many foods, not just alcohol, caffeine, and sugar are able to impact my mind and mood. Specifically, I am referring to different amounts and types of fat as well as the effects of different foods based on the glycemic index spectrum.

Since you likely don't mean a true flat rate tax (do you allow deductions and exemptions? is payroll tax factored in? and a flat tax ignores some fixed lower costs, like food, housing, and heat), then I don't see a flat tax as being any more simpler or less grief-ful than, say, a mildly progressive tax.

As for "don't have to be this complicated", I completely agree. Where I live now, the government does your taxes for you, sends you the paperwork, which you can verify, fix if incorrect, sign, and send in.

I think this doesn't happen in the US because 1) companies make money with having loopholes, so they push for loopholes, 2) politicians fund their campaigns with said money, 3) tax preparation companies would lose money, so they would also be against this scheme, and 4) various people are morally opposed to both a well-run government and taxes, so would rather throw the baby out with the bathwater than work on an improved system.
If I was to develop some web framework in Objective-C I will at least try to mimic the WebObjects framework which has some great concept behind it.
The main grief against WebObjects that should be avoided is that the framework layer to access the database aka EOF (Enterprise Objects Framework) was never designed to use a connection pool nor work nicely in a multi-threaded environment.

Sadly Apple stopped the development of that web solutions years ago and kept it for itself... I heard from various folks at Apple that there are still a few engineers improving it and it is being used a lot for iTunes.
WebObjects got some bad reputation from many people that have no clue on how it works and citing that WebObjects can't even support database update and this why the Apple Online Store is often offline when Apple release a new product. This is total BS of course, since take the iTunes AppStore which serve the content for all stores: music, apps, books, movies, etc... And you barely see that iTunes Store is offline.

WebObjects was a great technology but Apple decided to keep it for itself.
Exynos is a brand name of the family, not a single product. The Arndale has the Exynos 5250 SoC (dual-core A15) not the Exynos 4412 (quad core A9) which is used on the board mentioned in this thread.

The OP is slightly overstating the impact of overdraw as a general thing. While in this particular case it is likely that the overdraw is the cause of poor performance in this application, it's not always going to be the cause.

Overdraw primarily eats up memory bandwidth. Bandwidth isn't the only resource you have to worry about on a GPU (though on a mobile, it's certainly important). Equally important can be the time spent running pixel and/or vertex shaders when actually drawing onscreen elements - it's quite easy for a poorly written pixel shader to add multiple milliseconds to the time taken to render one fullscreen image on an embedded device.

Unfortunately none of the steps he takes in this article, until the OpenGL ES Trace near the end, appear to give you any of the information you'd need to figure out whether overdraw is actually your problem. Maybe it's a safe bet that for most Android apps, overdraw is the issue, because they're using Skia and thus don't have access to use custom shaders?

On the other hand, that Hierarchy Viewer feature in the debug tools looks really great. I wish more SDKs offered features that nice.
looks similar to what archive.org is doing, except that the later saves complete websites recursively ..
You need to include the numbers when you're talking about these parts :-) Arndale is Exynos5, which has a different CPU and peripheral set to Exynos4 (which is what this board uses).

Realizing that being happy was more important than achieving an arbitrary goal (a PhD) that was (a) making me miserable, and (b) didn't matter to anyone but me. Getting past that mental block was basically necessary for a lot of amazing things that have happened since, both in work and life.

Not questioning your choice, I disconnected myself from the mainstream world once as well. But now I'm starting to think that our tendency to do this (specifically stop reading newspapers) may be leading to a disconnect from participating in the community. Which leads to a lot of decisions being made against the interests of the community due to people not participating in local governance issues. This combined with the fact that governments don't particularly attract attention to issues [1] is leading to serious problems in society. Also, aren't you worried about being trapped in a filter bubble [2] by sticking to your own world? Looking for your thoughts.

Given other issues floating around maybe rather than go to something as restrictive as what was proposed at the end of the article take a half step.

Leave much of the law today as is (copyrights can apply to more than the original copyright law allowed and are automatically in force even without registering) but change the duration mechanism.

For the first 14 years of the work's existence you get a copyright for free.

For the next 14 years, you can re-register but with a higher but still nominal fee.

For each year after that, you must re-register and the fee goes up at an accelerating rate eventually reaching millions per year per copyrighted item. I'm assuming there would have to be a cap somewhere.

The government gets new revenue, most copyrights are shortened and enter the public domain more quickly and for the copyrights that are extremely valuable and still producing value in excess of the ever increasing registration fee, it will be worthwhile for the holder to pay.

Incorrect, no bath salts were found in the Miami attackers body [1]. The second story in Louisiana hasn't yet proven to be bath salts and he only bit a part of the guys face in an attack - he want cannabalising.

Secondly, very little is known about bath salts (mephedrone, MDPV).

In fact it's been shown to be less addictive than cocaine.

> "In a survey of UK users who had previously taken cocaine, most users found it produced a better-quality and longer-lasting high, was less addictive and carried the same risk as using cocaine.[2]"

So if cocaine is more addictive, why isn't it equally considered dangerous?

This type of misinformation is caused by the media and propagated by people who have a) never done the drug and b) spent little time researching it, such as yourself.
