Hi OldSchool,

Thank you very much.

In terms of pixel density: You may have noticed that the "megapixel wars" have pretty much stopped. And even the sensor that I've been using for nearly all of my "world record sized" is the 18-megapixel APS-c (1.6X "crop") Canon sensor (550D, 7D). The 7D is nearly 4 years old! Only in recent months has Canon released a camera with smaller pixels (the 20 megapixel 70D). Why?

One major reason is that lenses can't resolve much more than this. Your 10 year old lens that was built for film might not yield any detail at 100% zoom.

Another reason is that they are hitting limits with the wavelength of light. Correcting "chromatic aberration" on the sensor at this resolution is becoming a major issue. Each RGB sensor on the camera responds to a range of wavelengths, each one of which gets distorted differently. These all get mixed together and it's definitely not possible to disentangle them. So, to some degree, CA is impossible to fix completely.

These are large sensors and large, expensive lenses we are talking about here. With smaller phone sensors and their tiny lenses, the problem is worse. Looking at all phone photos, there isn't really anything interesting at 100% zoom, I think you won't lose any detail at all if you make the photo 70% of its original size.

To answer your question - it will take a great number of breakthroughs before there is anything like a 10 gigapixel sensor, with a lens that can resolve details for such a sensor.
define "open-standards" vs. walled-garden?

when a project is open source with a permissive license as dart is, how can it become a walled garden?

walled garden to me is a closed platform, where nobody can change or see whats happening inside.. how that reality maps to dart?

and people believe things like javascript are open standard, just because it have a commite? isnt that why javascript is stuck in the nineties and cant move forward?!

Dart is a cool, modern and fast language designed from the ground up to give us a choice against the ugly javascript..

nobody really likes javascript, people just have to deal with it, because is there no option (until coffescript, dart, typescript and others came by)

why is so bad to have options? and what could be the evil plan of google behind the creation of dart?

there a lot of things i disagree the way google has being doing things.. but this technological fanatism will hurt us all..

Personally i dont care it came from google, or any other company.. actually from what i understand from the hystory of dart, it came from a V8 developer and its passion to make a better language that could be better for bigger projects and compile faster.. isnt cool that google believe in this project and put so many badass vm people behind it to make it work?!

i just dont understand what could be bad in this sort of move.. its innovation, and its open.. its miles away from a walled garden.. and any browser or any application can adopt it and make it even more open and widespread adopted
We did a number of licensing deals with pictures like this, involving a "where's waldo"-type treasure hunt :)
You're pretty spot on here -- up to approximately 1500Hz, the auditory brain can make use of so-called inter-aural time differences which allow estimation of a given source's azimuth. After that, phase differences become ambiguous and the brain relies more heavily on inter-aural volume differences.

I was looking for a framework which can handle as much as possible of the configuration, plumbing and any other processes which are involved in web development. I know that is not exciting and causes limitations, but being a novice in this field, I do not want to be messing around with the basics. I rather want to focus on the core business aspects of my venture. :-)
Thanks, good sir, for confirming everything I was saying.

(It's funny that you begin by assuming I am unfamiliar with such positions. Thinking they are goofy, humorous and exaggerated is very different from never having been exposed to them. It was exactly this exposure that compelled me to write this, even knowing that it would be a target of downvotes and flames.)
It works great but what if we want the input to have the focus when the page loads? jQuery right? We grab the input and we call the focus() method in it. NO.

With directives we want our HTML to be as self-descriptive as possible so we are going to create a focus directive.

Or you could use html5's autofocus

Downvoted for your inaccessible link.

And while it is kinda nit-picky, the parent's statement is literally true (see my other post also).

Given any fixed axiom system, there will be true statements that aren't provable within the system (expand your axioms and you'll just have different true but provable statements in the expanded system). Now, Godel's completeness theorem shows that you construct complete mathematical system of true statements however such a system requires inserting an infinite number of arbitrarily choices among statements (and their negations) which aren't provable given the previous axioms. Since the framework of the article is finite, not infinite, I would claim the framework of the article, being finite, can't encompass all true statements of any given system, even if it an algorithm for producing axioms.

Edit: I got through the pay-wall via Google but the discussion is somewhere between confused and confusing (the large part of post mostly meaningless speculation about the term "proved in an absolute sense", that he introduces without defining). The situation is really simple. All formal proof systems have hole (at least those of any reasonable "powerfulness"). Any formal proof system can be expanded indefinitely but at any point in that expansion will still have a hole.
Nope, didn't edit anyone out.

There are actually lots of peoople in this one compared to other ones I've done....
I haven't used it, but I think this might be what you are looking for: https://github.com/tuyen/yeoman-angular-haml

Based on yeoman (http://yeoman.io), which I used briefly for the first time a few days ago, and it seems like a nice system. It already has pretty good integration with the AngularJS seed project.

You could probably roll something together using middleman (http://middlemanapp.com) too, with a bit more legwork.

My comment from earlier this week[1] seems extremely relevant:

And thus, too big to fail rears its head again. If we ignore laws surrounding patent restriction enforcement due to Apple's products forming the bottom line of many mobile operators offerings, then it stands to reason that the lesson learned here is it's better to become so entrenched that nobody -- not even the government -- can pull you out, rather than forming a competitive patent portfolio.

this is probably not the best argument, because DEFCON has been this way since the beginning (I have been to a lot of them) and the security community as a whole has never really been accepting, forgiving, or inclusive.

so when you make a post that says "your community stinks and I won't be a part of it", the majority response will be "good, we didn't want you anyway".

maybe you could point out that the community loses a lot of potentially awesome contributors by being so exclusive, but the community will be quick to point out the large number of awesome contributors they already have, and how those contributors themselves are prickly, women-hating and exclusionary, and they'll be right.

in short, I don't know what you can do as an outsider beyond ignore it. as an insider, those in the community who agree with you are in the minority, and generally disinterested in engaging with the majority of the community because they are terrible (and also generally quite stupid). I don't really have a long-term interest in being associated with the security community, and am not at DEFCON this year for that reason.

it's a weird, insular and perverted thing that has marginal societal good. the societal good that comes out of computer security is often not connected to what you conceive of as "the security community", but rather professional researchers and engineers that work for universities and major corporations. so, my advice is, ignore the "security community". it will die. let it die.
I seem to recall a recent study that suggested paying some people explicitly for their open-source work (versus scratching-an-itch) had the effect of discouraging contributions from everyone else. Unfortunately my google-fu is too weak right now to find a reference.
Bill,thanks for taking the time to write your comments. Writeapp.me looks cool; is it built on Rails?
Also the violated patents are owned by Samsung. So this is the result of going "thermonuclear" against android. Irony hurts.

I know the founders and have been enjoying watching my Work For Pie score grow (but unfortunately did not find a job through them, as my score is just starting to gain some merit). I think if they had been in a more tech-friendly city they would have been in a better position to develop successful marketing campaigns. Unfortunately, Memphis does not have the best climate for startups or tech businesses. I wish Brad and Cliff the best on their future ventures!

> How serious is Google about Dart?

It depends. I spent a lot of time looking at Dart in the first part of this year. My impression is that the team developing Dart is very serious and enthusiastic about it. Dart makes web development fun again. It's easy to try things and throw them away if you get a better idea in the process. Building large apps is easy. The success of Dart doesn't only depend on success in the browser, because a lot of effort is being put into Dart on the server, where it hopes to compete with Nodejs and replace Java for some uses. Another motivation for Dart is that it is not influenced in any way by Oracle, who has sued Google over Java. Dart may shine on mobile devices where old browsers are not an issue, that remains to be seen.

Who is not enthusiastic about Dart at Google? I would say the Chrome team and the Closure team, based on a lot of reading and watching videos, are not enthusiastic. This is just my impression. I have no inside information. As far as I know, Dart is not being used internally.

The Chrome Frame issue caused me to switch to TypeScript, which I also really like. It's not as much fun as Dart, but it certainly makes JavaScript a lot more verifiably correct, with type annotations making code refactoring and type checking possible. TypeScript is an ok alternative to Dart. They feel similar, they each have their uses.

I wouldn't bet the company on Dart, but I would on TypeScript, which could go away and you'd still have perfectly readable and sensible JavaScript files to work with. As Anders Hejlsberg (designer of C# and TypeScript) says, "we don't obfuscate your code."

It's easy enough to learn Dart. There are places even now where it makes sense to use Dart. If JavaScript is an old internal combustion engine car, then TypeScript is one with automatic transmission and power steering, while Dart is a new electric car. I'll drive all three as long as they get me where I'm going.
To make this clear, when I say "Promising" I don't mean it as something vague, Dart is in beta now and it will hit the 1.0 status this year, so start using it and learning it today ain't that crazy.
The asm.js comparison is a false equivalence. It is not possible (without explicit effort, e.g. checking the UA string) for Web authors to ship asm.js that does not work in Chrome, because asm.js is just JavaScript. With Dart, Web authors may end up not shipping the JS fallback, or not testing it, thus locking the Web into Chrome. That is why turning on the Dart VM for Web content would be a problem.

This is my problem with the vitriolic nature of politics in general - when a truly, profoundly stupefying idea comes along, we've run out of proper words we can use to aptly convey how utterly incomprehensible and devoid of rationality the idea is.

Our outrage can be reasonably seen as just another political discussion when in fact it's composed of literal and unbridled flabergastery the likes of which have not thusfar been witnessed by mankind.

I'm thinking of a solution that would enable good content to remain visible (and actionable and improvable and trackable, also for its progress).

For example, on HN, discussions mostly end when posts leave the front page (and obviously, nothing really results from the good input, except a bit more awareness). A few hours later, a similar post appears and all the questions and answers come up again and some people get upset (probably also b/c they see it as a "political post").

In chats, good content gets lost, buried, etc, even more easily I'd say.

EDIT: "content" such as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6153044 (but of course also the discussions themselves)
I was talking a Dart guy about this recently. They have no projects they can talk about, but there are a few teams within Google using Dart right now. I'm guessing we'll hear about these eventually, but for now they are keeping them quiet.
The point is not "your phone/tablet network traffic can be overheard", the point is "it can be overheard and uniquely identified, therefore anyone putting cheap access points around your area can track which ones you go near, and when".
Concurring with yummyfajita, test prep courses don't have too much impact:

> On average students with private tutors improve their math scores by 19 points more than those students without private tutors. The effect is less on the verbal section, where having a private tutor only improves scores on average by seven points. Taking a commercial course has a similarly large effect on math scores, improving them on average by 17 points, and has the largest effect on verbal scores, improving them on average by 13 points.

http://nepc.colorado.edu/files/Briggs_Theeffectofadmissionst...

These differences (~15 points on a test with a standard deviation of 100 points) are rather small compared to the huge gaps between different socio-economic and racial backgrounds (~100 points between rich and poor). Probably worth the boost if you have the money, though.
Apple has argued that Samsung isn't licensing their standards essential patents on FRAND terms. If that is the case, it seems reasonable to me to prevent them from threatening product bans to extract exorbitant licensing fees. In my limited understanding, that right to discriminatory license fees is waived when patents are contributed to a standard, in exchange for acceptance for use in the standard. Otherwise it would be a de facto monopoly for the patent holders, with all of the negative consequences for competition.

Have there been any other cases where a product ban has been enforced because of an FRAND patent dispute? Unless there have, claims of protectionism are unwarranted. But even if there have, that doesn't prove protectionism is in play, but rather possibly that a past wrong is being corrected.
Paranoia would imply fear of something unlikely to happen.

Very useful! Semi-related question: is there a way to profile the stack within a requestAnimationFrame callback? I seem to remember having access to it in earlier versions of chrome, but now I just see the callback and garbage collection events if present.
Eh, if I didn't think my company would be upset with me telling you what I make, I'd let you know. It's not a big deal to me. You could probably figure it out based on where I live and what I do with my free time anyway.

As for pictures of my kids, I don't have any. But it's a pretty terrible argument because it perpetuates the false idea that you must want to hide something for privacy to be necessary.

I'd bet large sums of money Bruce Schneier has never used this line of defense against the "nothing to hide" argument.

Can you elaborate on why you think Memphis was a bad idea?

With the ability to talk to people anywhere by phone, email, Twitter, forum, blog post, etc, what do you think is the drawback to being in Memphis? It seems like their customers are geographically dispersed, rather than concentrated in a more tech-friendly city.
Not always. Beer back then was usually too weak to kill bacteria, but the brewing process involves boiling, and we now know what that does to bacteria! But yes, generally speaking alcoholic beverages were safer than water.

I'm not saying that soda took the job of "drink that is safer than water". I'm merely pointing out that people did not migrate from water to soda. They went from beer to soda.
What you did is name-calling. What I did was identify a pathological behavior and give my opinion that it's unnecessary.
A natural human response though, so I accept it. That said, my girlfriend finds it creepy that there's a machine under the TV that recognises her, and tracks her movements. I accept that too.

The DOM memory model that all browsers use is incompatible with Dart (or any "second language" for the Web). That includes Chrome, by the way: that's why they need the Oilpan project which completely rewrites DOM memory management from scratch. In practice this is going to be a blocker for other engines to "just adopt" the Dart VM. (These concerns were raised, and ignored, on webkit-dev when Google first proposed Dart support.)
It is unlikely to happen, that link is silly fearmongering. Wired should be fined for publishing it.
That could be said for any service you pay for. Large companies will close down projects that aren't doing well. Small companies can close their doors when they run out of money.

Google will drop Dart because they will inevitably realize what the rest of us already know: Dart won't displace JS, even a little, as the lingua franca of the web.

Anybody with even half a brain can see this. It's an exercise in futility, like trying to build a whole new web browser and expecting it to dominate within five years' time. Including Internet Explorer. Worldwide. Such fantasies are ridiculous and a waste of everybody's time. Get back to the drudgery of your actual lives, folks.

I think they're following the theories of Consequentialism here, where you're trying to maximise the different consequences instead of aiming for one single maximised consequence - even if that means violating an established ethical rule:

" The consequentialist analysis can take the form of a utility function, where the expected utility of an action is determined by the sum of the utility of each of its possible consequences, individually weighted by their respective probability of occurrence. Therefore, the correct action is always the one which maximizes o total value of positive consequences, even if it violates some established moral rule. Consequentialism is based on a cost and benefits analysis and measure goodness by calculating the total expected good." [1]

I don't presume to be able to say whether that's right or wrong, but it certainly feels like the underlying theory with which the government currently acts.

It's not quite what I had in mind. RethinkDB schemas are not strictly enforced, and it does not have ACID transactions. I'd much rather see an open source implementation of Google's Spanner, but that's probably a long way off.
Yes, it sure is great that you never have to profile performance, trace call stacks, or find out where your heap is going in native app development.

Did people voting up this comment just not read the linked docs, or do you maybe not have the context to understand what this library does?

It instruments your code so you can get call stack traces with timing information associated. Unless your calls into the DOM are blocking, they aren't going to show up there (that's what the browser dev tools are for). There's a reason that the only HTML element explicitly mentioned in the docs is the canvas element. It even says, explicitly, "Though it's certainly useful to see the ways your application is interacting with the browser and vice versa, often there is much more work occurring within your call trees than not."

This has almost nothing to do with HTML. It's a profiling tool for a garbage-collected scripting language, and it looks more than a little useful.
Yeah that is pretty much what is keeping me from upgrading.

My S2 is still fast enough to run anything I've tried.

What would I get by buying a S4? A bigger screen, 4G access and NFC? Other then that I am not really aware of any benefits. I run CM nightly anyway so in terms of software it's as good as the new phones, and I only ended up running custom firmware because Samsung stopped doing updates.
