It's kind of funny to see comments like the one you're responding to. I remember when Enlightenment was considered "bloated"... and then it stayed the same for a while, and suddenly was considered "lightweight".

Not sure if I'll actually try the new version though. I have E16 configs that haven't been touched since the last millennium, and still work. Would be tough to give up on that kind of track record.
No gravity would simply approach infinity as you descended the well. And since we're being pedantic that's not an issue.
Yes, but being inspired to write a similar book is now a grey area.

As a some-time composer / musician, I like to play around with existing themes and thus create new themes. Many of history's greatest musical pieces reference other pieces (J.S. Bach referenced traditional church pieces, Mussorgsky referenced many traditional folk songs, the list is probably endless), indeed the vast majority of popular music rarely strays from a handful of progressions around a limited palette of chords. Imagine if someone had managed to patent the 12 bar blues early on... No blues explosion, no Rock & Roll, no Elvis, no Beatles, etc. etc.

The argument that patents are for protecting original ideas is becoming more specious with time. It seems that the primary reason many companies now apply for patents is to either protect themselves from future patent cases, or, as is the case with IV, to prosecute any company or individual who tries to bring a similar idea to market.
The only data point I can think of is this JSON benchmark:

...where Apple beats three community-developed libraries. But maybe it just wasn't that hard to beat them.

I'm also skeptical because I don't see how Apple has any incentive to optimise code ever. Their devices (ARM & x86) are doubling in CPU power left and right while the UX basically stays the same. The second-to-last generation inevitably feels sluggish on the current OS version...which just happens to be the time when people usually buy their next Apple device. Why should they make their codebase harder to maintain in that environment?
I like your attempt. At least, it is meaningful. Only the domain of statements about facts can be verified with facts. The domain of statements about statements cannot. You have indeed correctly underlined that the rules governing scientific statements -- statements about statements -- cannot be scientific themselves.
I manage the maintainance of millions of lines of scripting code that's not type safe. Type safety is definitely not a significant problem, nor is speed.

You can win three times Lottery Jackpot and you still wouldn't create a damn thing that is anywhere near Apple's Product. Not that they are insanely great, but no one would put label them as cheap, crap or mindlessly crafted.

So Yes. It is a Sin.

Unless they're somehow managing to use an abacus to prove theorems, they're doing super-fast arithmetic with an abacus.
>Not to mention the absurtidy of his conclusion. Proving a statement for a set of values you thought of is far more likely to be wrong than proving it with formal mathamatics.

This, if the program did fail all that's been proven is that that particular delta-epsilon function, the defeatEpsilon here, doesn't work. In order to prove that the function doesn't converge you have to prove there is no function which can satisfy the conditions.

(Luckily there are some theorems which make it so one only have to prove that two different sequences of the function converge to different values. But that's getting into Real Analysis which is a whole semester worth of explanations.)
Looks like a cool script! The problem though is that by including all the images inside the CSS you're forcing the client to download 3.62MB of icons, even if only a few are used.

You could avoid this by converting the emoticon text to <img> tags, or by conditionally inlining the CSS for the background-image. I'd personally prefer the <img> solution, though it's not as clean as the base64 solution as the images will need to be hosted as well.

Instead try to write a program which proves that the limit sin(1/x) x->0 does not exist. (Remember proving that a single function doesn't work isn't enough. You have to prove no such function exists.)
Motl, abrasive? Surprised?

Maybe the issue is the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen problem: if the numbers are being generated deterministically, they're somehow being communicated superluminally between entangled particles, which implies that in some relativistic frames of reference they're being communicated into the past? I guess I should learn enough about QM to really understand this stuff instead of guessing.
In my opinion, Kurt Gödel's claim points to something that seems to go wrong in Alonzo Church's successor function. For the sake of the argument, let's call that a bug. It would take a serious amount of work to point out how that would affect Zermelo–Fraenkel.

A distribution is the probability of various values before the random selection takes place. Uniformity is what we do or don't see afterward.

The results of a uniform distribution, applied randomly a large number of times are less uniform than intuition predicts.

Not at all, which wasn't my point at all.

However, having an abstract if you are going to present lots of information is definitely always good style. The scientific community require them on all papers - to help people decide if they should bother spending time to dig into the material or not. Not to make the material accessible for grandmothers.

That is exactly what a good tl;dr provides.

One of the first things I, as a European, thought after hearing speculation on mental problems of the shooter was the following: If they just focus on the mental health issues on the shooter and start stereotyping, ostracizing and discriminating mentally ill people a bit more, maybe even with some law that limits their freedoms, people in the US will be able to avoid their two big taboo topics: Healthcare (and, by extension, taxes) and gun control. I would absolutely hate to be right on this one.
At TurboSquid.com you can search and download 3D models in 60 seconds. Printing cups is a parallel task, so only a few minutes are lost. You can also print in various colours, so painting is not necessary. You would, of course, have to buy the material spools, but those will come down in price and you can order them online quite quickly.

If you make $30 per hour as a consultant and it takes 15 minutes to get to Walmart, 5 minutes to purchase the item, then those cups have cost ~$20 in your time, plus gas.

>Techcrunch at the end of the day is a Wordpress blog.

Yes, you know, like Whitehouse.gov is just a Wordpress blog at the end of the day. What do they need a president and a country for?

The thing is, the blogging technology doesn't matter. And the fact that it's a blog doesn't matter much either -- as blogs can make from $0 to hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

>Yeah right, biased, manipulative, colored, Apple-sponsored journalism isn't insidious, but paying for traffic is.

Never like TC, but ..."Apple-sponsored"? TC? Of all tech outlets out there?

(That said, I doubt even one blog or news site is indeed "Apple-sponsored", including Daring Fireball. And if the US had proper anti-defamation laws, people would have found that out in a painful way).
Prior to inventing GoPro Nick Woodman had a full on, VC funded bubble startup in 2000 called "FunBug". (1) (2)

FunBug was "designed to drive consumer traffic and spending to online and offline client businesses" via games & sweepstakes.

His FunBug co-founder, Stephen Baumer, is the current CTO of GoPro.

Woodman credits FunBug's failure as partial inspiration for GoPro in that he wanted to pursue something he was genuinely passionate about.

So what?

Don't give up on the dream, fail fast and fail big, keep your best people close, and build stuff you wish existed.

Good stuff to think about with the new year around the corner.

If you're going to do business with, and particularly solicit investment from, the public, you want a good level of protection from the inevitable lawsuit.

Single-member entities do little to shield you if you get sued and they want to pierce; if someone's got you in their sights and considers asking the court to disregard the corporate entity, enrolling yourself in one of these single member jobbers is like painting a big red target on your back. Your attorney may differ, but I believe it's dumber than just going in as a sole proprietor.

You can get sued anywhere for anything, but plaintiffs can and will sue your entity from the friendliest jurisdiction (and that's typically where the business deal went down). Showing up to court with an out-of-state corporate identity when you've always conducted business in your present state is strike two, before you even sit down.

Say your business craters, you go broke, and _then_ you get sued. Many states won't even let you defend your company in court unless you are (or hire) a licensed attorney.

The safest way to set up a single member entity is to get additional members. Member #2 ensures the plaintiff will have a harder time calling the LLC your "alter ego", a contrivance you set up to screw the customer/investor/government out of taxes.
[x] Isn't is possible to have your code base compiled soly for AMRv8 and leave the baggage and compatibility behind in one or two revisions. I am guessing Apple may be able to pull this off with a pure ARMv8 advantage.

I continue to hear how MIPS is still technically and architecture better then even the cleaner ARMv8. But they never succeed. So how an ISA succeed depends on a lot of other factors/
Might this be the reason that I've heard complaints about choppiness of pans in The Hobbit at 24 fps? (When they show a 24 fps version of a 48 fps movie, do they just drop half the frames?)
There's no uncanny valley here. I just got back from seeing the movie an hour ago, so I'm speaking from very fresh perspective.

I saw it in 3D at 48fps. Both completely killed the movie. In the very opening scene where Bilbo is picking up the book, it looked too fast. It was the opposite of "smooth".

I don't care about the technical arguments about how more frames per second is smoother. It doesn't look right subjectively. I don't know if its interlacing, or that it was high fps combined with 3D, but it continuously kept pulling me out of the story and taking notice of how fake everything looked.

Everything that was epic in Lord of the Rings just looked phoney. It was incredibly easy to see the CG effects on the orcs, goblins, and wargs.

I'm thinking about seeing the movie again in a week or so, but just the normal 24fps, non-3D version.

I really hope this isn't the future of movies, because it looks freaking awful.

>I can see there being high view counts for K-pop music videos in the Middle Eastern and African countries, where it K-pop gained popularity as a credible alternative to Western entertainment, which may be too sexualized for the socially conservative sensibilities in those countries.

Eh, say what? K-pop is even more sexualized than 90% of western music videos.

Plus, nobody much cares about K-pop in the Middle East and Africa. Maybe a tiny 0.1% minority.
I am confused why there is an Aztec calendar on the t-shirt, though.
It's been really depressing to see so many reactions to the shooting phrased in that way -- that the problem is mental illness or bad care of the mentally ill. Mentally ill people are already stigmatized enough as-is, despite the fact that they're far more likely to be murdered than to be murderers.

People are already suggesting that the mentally ill be added to registries, much like the already-flawed sex offender registry. This isn't going to make life any better for the mentally ill, and certainly won't make anyone safer. It'll just make mental illness even more of a black mark on someone's record -- imagine being diagnosed for depression or autism once and never being able to hold a proper job again. People will be even more deathly afraid of being properly diagnosed and cared for, not the inverse.
I suspect that such program could revolve around showing that for any arbitrarily small number -- almostZero -- you can always find two smaller numbers x1,x2 as such that sin(1/x1) is smaller and sin(1/x2) is larger than sin(1/almostZero). The Popper-compliant claim could be: find me an almostZero for which the defeating function will be incapable of producing such x1 and x2. I am not sure about all of this, though. Unless you have investigated something very similar before, it takes time to investigate things like that.

>The reason action packed scenes and panning scenery all retain their authenticity is these scenes are unfamiliar to us. I’ve never encountered a battlefield of orcs, and I’ve never flown across the landscape hugging the ground in a helicopter. We have no prior experience which tells what these scenarios should look like.

That's not exactly what the "uncanny valley" theory says, though.

It's about realistic vs cartoony versions of things, not about familiar vs unfamiliar things.

HFR is nothing new. The problem is it sucks. It gives everything that is not a fast-action scene a cheap soap opera/reality show look.
> This, if the program did fail all that's been proven is that that particular delta-epsilon function, the defeatEpsilon here, doesn't work.

It would prove that such epsilon exists. That counterexample should be enough to reject the claim itself.
Stop conflating statistically insignificant incidents with reality. The Sandy Hook lunatic wasn't even as deadly as a slow weekend in Chicago.

The only reason the occasionally mentally ill (you heard me) gunman gets press is because the UMC media can identify with the victims. The UMC media can also identify with the gunman. Unlike Chicago gangbangers, they've known such creepy kids back in high school.
"A website/service cannot by definition be HA if it's reliant on one service or infrastructure provider." you seem to be conflating highly available with a diverse supply chain. A lot of highly available systems are "locked" in to one provider, whether it's broadcom/citrix/intel/etc.

Jeese ... What I'm saying is that I never ever want to experience something like other Linuxes I won't mention. Why the hell do I want their idea of a better UI, games, and other crap? The first thing I do when I buy a new machine is uninstall programs all day and installing a new OS, that I was not familiar with, practically made me forget the idea of ever using Linux. I'm simply asking how much "extra" stuff I would be stuck with, if any at all.

Of course I know how to uninstall, I just don't feel like doing it. I already said it's an Arch Linux install, and it should be clear that I appreciate minimalism. I can take extras as long as they are well thought out. Thus I am attempting ask what extra features are included in Enlightenment that would make me want it over other desktop environments? There are other environments that I flatly refuse to use, but I was really on the fence about using Enlightenment, and now that there is something new, I am wondering if there are excellent reasons for moving over. I was hoping for a simple, brief, explanation of the reasoning for Enlightenment over X desktop.

Perhaps I came off as trollish, and that was not my intention at all.
This is the distinction between necessary and sufficient causes. Luck is still necessary, just as genius was necessary, a certain course of action was necessary etc.

I'll bet you see rainbow artifacts on every last one-chip DLP/LCoS and yellow flashes on plasma, too.

On topic, the second thing I noticed (after the bloody obvious flicker even with no eye movement) was a pattern marking the boundary between the two halves of the images. Then I remembered that I was running my retina display at a higher than native resolution, and scaling of course introduces artifacts at edges.

Besides, who doesn't love 10% CPU usage to display a static image?
Parse.com might be an option. It will scale as needed automagically. It uses AWS to store the data.

Website design isn't as subjective as you're making it out to be. It's not like abstract art or something. Website designs are meant to be functional. And the whole purpose of a website is to give you what you're looking for.

50% the work in any website redesign is the UX portion. Redesigning menus, placement of calls to action, what is on the screen and what isn't, understanding the purpose of every object on the screen. 25% of the work is copywriting, and only 25% of it is actual "creative design" in Photoshop.

So you probably won't believe me, but there's actually a process to doing good web design. It's not just "what looks good to you may not look good to me."
The technology is irrelevant. It's what you do with it that matters.

Let them first fix their supply chain; buy a ton of factories or whatever, because here (in the EU) Nexus 4 and 10 are still sold out (before xmas; how smart...). Many people I know now went for the SIII or iPad 10 inch instead of waiting any longer. That's incredibly lame.

Edit: in my country (Netherlands) they haven't even started selling the Nexus 10 in the first place, but I usually order that kind of stuff in Spain because they are apparently 'important enough' for second (behind the US) launches most of the time.

Why is there no similar outcry for stricter car control? That could really save a lot of innocent kids lives as well as making the lives of all kinds of criminals way harder.

You'd also reduce the emissions of CO2 and the overuse of hydrocarbons.
