I guess this is a good time to plug XaoS a multiplatform real-time fractal viewer: http://wmi.math.u-szeged.hu/xaos/doku.php

Recently it was ported to iOS which is pretty cool..so it really runs on about anything: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xaos/id576120234?mt=8

I've had tons of fun with it. You can enter your own formulas as well as change coloring, do automatic rotation/color cycling for a trippy effect, and a ton more of exploration. Explore all the fractals! :-)
And the G5 (the PPC 970 in IBM's nomenclature) was an "ultra-light" POWER4 — the POWER5 was ~30% quicker than the G5. POWER never really fell behind at the high end — there was just no real focus on anything except the high-end.

But of course they are, or more general the web of DHS/TSA/FAA/etc. regulations is the reason why commercial air travel has not advanced in door-to-door speed.

Without the regulations you could imagine an airport that pre-screened travellers. You roll up to the curb, get valet parked, and your bags checked, and then you get on the flight. You'd build the entire airport around this rapid on/off experience. You could have an airline that would run an Uber-style service to pick you up at your door. You'd solve the whole problem.

But there's no Toyota-style optimizations applied because these optimizations are illegal. Prime among them is that efficiency of this kind would make the airport more of a target IF it was also prevented by law from discriminating against potential dangerous passengers, which it would be.

And that's why when you ban selectivity at the federal level the necessary consequence is mediocrity.
You'd expect anyone who knows how JBIG2 works would also know it should never have been used for this

No but 45 minutes using it will. Not saying this book is no good, but 90% of tech books on softer subjects like this aren't worth the paper they are printed on. They hark back to the day when I first walked into Sun and saw a dozen volumes xn versions for the xmotif and xlib reference manuals.
Strangely enough, I feel like this would be more impressive if it rendered more slowly. Does anybody else remember waiting several minutes for a fractal to render? These days, it's so easy to forget how amazing it really is.

For us who do not own a car, we all ride cabs to get us from point A to point B. Despite the big help they can do to us, their services and helpfulness are also very limited especially when the topic of conservation is about moving houses. Yes, cabs and cab drivers in general can be pleasantly approachable and reliable for our daily mobility needs, but hiring them for the purpose of moving your items from your old house to the new can be a huge source of hassle and discomfort on your part.
That was a terrible recommendation. Proposing a solution when you know nothing about the situation nearly always results in a pointless solution.

Suggesting that the best way to securely install Windows packages is to use a different operating system smacks of immaturity, and is obviously not a practical solution in Windows environments.

A better suggestion might be: If you do not trust it, run it in a VM/sandbox.
Change is good.

Until recent history, Yahoo would take forever to roll out new changes. The fact is they are trying new things and to the public, iterating faster. It is clear that Meyer has had some impact to Yahoo.

Whether users will like the new changes is another story but at least they have the ability to iterate out of the problem.
Would that trip be interesting for a high-speed train connection? It's approximately 600 km (380 miles), that should be possible in about 3 hours. The terrain doesn't look too bad either at first glance.

I have been using the iOS7 beta since it came out, and before doing this, it had asked me for permission. This is opt-in, so if you don't like it you don't have to use it.
This does not exist :)) looked for it, and I have the same beta.
Historically the big thing has been the variety of floating point units — nowadays VFP3 is pretty much a de-facto standard on the high-end ARM chips (it's required from Cortex-A8 onwards in the application profile), and what's done on Android (where you have a huge diversity of hardware, some with FPUs, some without) where performance matters is you ship one hardfloat binary and one softfloat binary.
I have also made[1] a similar thing which allows you to select colouring and enter the seeds manually, and then export the resulting picture in the resolution you want.

As the name vaguely alludes to, a lot of the text is extracted from ebooks, including public domain ones from Project Gutenberg. That said, I find it hard to believe that just picking random sentence fragments would give such a high signal-to-noise ratio, so there's probably something else going on.

If I were the one pulling the strings of Horse_ebooks, I would probably focus on building a statistical model that uses the number of favorites per tweet as its training data, and looks for linguistic features that are highly correlated with getting lots of favorites.
ID is random UUID, session is in Redis as an expiring key.
Rather than slate me, some constructive discussion would be nice. I'll go from my side:

1. Static type compiler verification saves tonnes of problems. Try managing a 2MLOC dynamically typed solution and you'll get what I mean.

2. Static typed languages are way easier to refactor as more metadata is available to the tooling.

3. Static typed code is easier to test. The type contract is available over the boundary between the implementation and the test cases.

4. Defined interfaces without leaky abstractions are easier to produce when you have static types.

5. Static types allow the compiler to infer more information about how to compiler your code resulting in faster, more efficient code and lower memory usage plus you don't have to compile an instance of a function with every possible type consideration at runtime.

6. Statically typed data serialises more reliably i.e. goes over the wire easier without behemoth contracts and parsers at each end.

7. Statically typed languages tend to have better numeric accuracy as differences between decimal, floats and integers are always deterministic and there are defined casts and conversions between each during operations.

I could go on...
It does. Maybe you didn't look very closely, or maybe it doesn't exist on older devices (I have iPhone 4S and I have this feature).

The problem is that the PPC's with decent performance are ludicrously expensive in small volumes - you can "easily" spend $1000 for relatively anaemic PPC models, so a manufacturer would need to either be able to bet big, or costs are going to be crazy. ARM is much simpler in that respect because of the much wider choice in manufacturers targeting the low end of the market.

7 of the most psychedelic songs in history
I read this and kept thinking whether the hotel lobby is really the reason why Airbnb runs into trouble. Or, for that matter, even whether the Taxi Lobby is what is really hitting Uber.

Yes, hotel owners and taxi drivers are not exactly pleased about the disruption. And, yes, they have lobbyists to further their causes. But don't think for one second that these people wanted the regulation to begin with. Absolutely not. The regulators wanted to protect the public and put in zoning, licensing, etc. The initial regulation had very little, if anything, to do with turn-of-the-century lobbyists.

For the most part it seems these new companies are facing not some nuanced part of the law, but like basic, prehistoric regulation that is practically universal in the Western world, designed to protect people from surpassingly likely horrible practices--like getting kidnapped by an unlicensed driver. Something not that unimaginable -- at least according to London public service posters everywhere. Some laws have very murky reasoning, I'll give you that. But zoning and licensing in these cases do not. So to say that Cities are stifling innovation by enforcing some of the most basic laws of the modern state, then it's a bit glib.

Incumbents are mad because they are following the rules and some of these new firms are clearly not. But the incumbents aren't the biggest problem, which the article more or less hints as the culprit. No, the problem for 'innovation' is convincing people why they should let the other half of their duplex run a youth hostel without a license. And no, saying your K-nearest neighbor algorithm's got it covered is not going to be enough.

Some might compare this to copyright. And this is where they'd be right. It's not very obvious who copyright protects. No one has ever had a GB of songs cause them to wonder whether their neighborhood is safe anymore. You might even make the same case for fin services. Why regulate those? Well, I'd grant you there too. How many people died from the fin crisis again? Perhaps we are pushing it. Either way, in the land of the physical universe, the universe where Uber and Airbnb are so clearly inhabiting, the reasoning behind the laws is remarkably obvious.
It probably only works on devices with GPS. If you have a Wi-Fi version of the iPad it doesn't have one, so they don't present the feature.

Stop being paranoid - they can already track you from cell tower data.
Experts have spent years studying their field. Sure, the information and books are all there for you to learn from. Hell, if you spend enough time at it, you might be an expert too. But do you really expect someone to sit and spend the time required to truly grok nutrition, health, medicine, etc? Oh, and how do you sift through the information to determine what is true and what isn't?

The information that experts have is probably available to most anyone, but where experts really have the advantage is that they have the proper context and training to correctly interpret and apply that knowledge.

It's one thing to try this stuff out on your own body. When you start convincing others to try it too is when it gets dangerous.

Wow, there is quite a competition in authentication right now. A week ago I only knew about Google Authenticator, and now I already found about:

* Authy

* Duo Security

* GetProve

* MePIN

* LaunchKey

* And now SnowShoe Stamp (it's a physical object you need for authentication)

All these have quite different goals, but strive to solve one problem - secure authentication. It will be interesting to watch how this develops.

PS. From all these I personally like Authy the most, but for my use case (many auths throughout the day from many users) it's too expensive. 20,000 API calls (for $99/mo plan) may seem a lot, but having only 500 users doing 4 auths per day will use it up already.

EDIT: Actually, the ideal solution would be to have an open source implementation of Authy, that you could deploy on your own web server, complete with corresponding iOS/Android Apps. One can dream...

"HN is Becoming 2005 Slashdot"

(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6157485)

It makes for an interesting read concerning speculation as to why HN is becoming less and less technical over time, and more about politics.

Technical issues and articles take time to read, digest, and understand. It takes a minimum level of expertise to be able to comment usefully on technical issues, so by the time a technical submission has been read properly, it's too late for it to reach the HN front page.

An interesting dilemma.

Here's one more: AlterEgo (https://alteregoapp.com)
Note:

- Currently, it supports only very simple functions (functions with 1 statement).

- It is far from trivial to support non-simple functions, or basically any functions which needs its own local variables / its own stack. This is possible via a custom stack object for this purpose, but this all need some extra logic and transformation for the local variable handling.

Btw., if you are interested in this, you might also be interested in my project: https://github.com/albertz/PythonHotswap

It does some similar hacks, i.e. modifies functions, but all on the bytecode level. I.e. no import hook hacks, it uses the code objects and patches them. This makes some things easier and some other things harder.

Your heart is in the right place, but you're stuck with a bad example still.

C is hardly a good representative for an statically typed language. Read Luca Cardelli's "Typeful Programming"[1] to get an overview of what typed programming is all about, and see for yourself how brain-dead C and C++ are in comparison. After that go to Benjamin Pierce's canon, "Types and Programming Languages".
