The sneaky thing is to do like TreVisor, and I believe the commercial company PrivateCore, to encrypt all memory outside the CPU die (L1/L2, maybe L3?), by pinning the hypervisor and encryption routines to something running inside, and encrypting everything which leaves (and presumably doing some integrity protection). HN user sweis works for PrivateCore; I've talked to them a few times and they seem really interesting, although I think a more conventional HSM makes more sense for some applications, and Intel SGX is going to make the whole thing a lot more interesting in 2-3 years.
You can always find outliers. The question is, does the self-flying plane reduce the # of deaths and injuries, or increase them?
The conclusion is very reminiscent of http://www.paulgraham.com/13sentences.html (see the last two paragraphs). As it should be, because identifying game changing features is tantamount to understanding what people want. And nobody knows what users want until they have feedback from product iterations.
Well, if your only criterion is "artificially constructed, can move under own power", then the Death Star would not even come close to dominating the chart. For example, the Ringworld was a ring ~1,600,000 kilometers wide and ~150,000,000 kilometers in radius, complete with central sun - and as of last appearance in the novels, was steadily accelerating towards the Andromeda galaxy.

I'm thinking Valve basically wrote off retrogaming with this device - it's after the modern genres that are completely split between the PC-style mouse-and-keyboard and the console-style thumbsticks-and-shoulders.

A retrogaming pad would be nice as an additional peripheral to sell, but realistically you can use any existing bluetooth gamepad with Steam.
Fixed-stack is not the end goal. The intent is to migrate back towards small, growable stacks.

There were long discussions over how "smart" the extern stack-size strategy should be. The current arrangement is, as ever, a compromise. In practice, most people writing bindings to C from Rust will wrap the C call into a very thin wrapper function whose job is to handle type conversions and managing the necessary `unsafe` bits. The hope is that putting the annotation on these wrapper functions won't be very onerous, with the result that any Rust code that calls the wrapper functions won't ever have to bothered with remembering the annotations.
"paid" sick days. You can be sick for more than 10 days a year, but you won't be paid for all of them. Different companies have different policies. The company I work for has just a general PTO pool, and you take that for your sick days and your vacation.
I disagree. I think the reason is more fundamental: with a mouse, you're doing a direct translation (distance in pad → distance on screen), while with a gamepad you're doing an indirect translation (distance in stick → velocity in screen).

This is harder, because you're essentially forced to calculate (in a low conscious way, of course) distance/speed to know for how much time you should turn the stick.

Canada doesn't have the military resources to enforce this without a corresponding increase in military budgets.

We will have no choice but to partner with the very same folks who are eyeing these lucrative areas. I guess we'll get a taste of what it feels like to be a country where to protect our resources and land we'll be forced to give some (most?) rights away in exchange for military augmentation and favourable procurement prices.
From anecdotal experience, nicotine has quite a similar effect to amphetamine (therapeutic dosing.. i.e. Adderall).

Nicotine, in low doses, by itself (i.e. outside of tobacco, which contains MAOIs, which potentiate nicotine's effects), is not terribly addictive. I'll occasionally supplement it for a few days at a time, then stop. I would caution anyone supplementing nicotine NEVER to smoke tobacco, at the same time.

Patches are the most healthy way to consume nicotine. Nicotine + gums = all kinds of bad stuff. Still, there's some slight carcinogenic risk with long-term use of the stuff, so it's not a miracle drug. :(

If that were the case, one would expect that the trackball only would be as accurate as the controller and less accurate than the mouse. However, my anecdotal experience is that the trackball is as accurate, if not more so, than the mouse, despite only using the thumb.

My suspicion is that the difference is more of a calculus problem. Moving my thumb on the trackball by a given amount changes my position by a proportional amount. On the other hand, for most games, moving my thumb on the stick by a given amount changes my velocity by a proportional amount. To put it differently, if I'm aimed at a stationary target with my trackball, I remain aimed until as long as I don't move my thumb. With a stick, if I'm aimed at a stationary target and don't move my thumb, I'll keep turning at a constant rate.
The Shadow DOM seems like beautiful for reading/blocking output but I see most of my time with the "Expand Shadow DOM" option in the dev tools to see what the heck is actually going on during development.

Call me impressed. I never thought that the biggest innovator and risk taker in the console market would be valve. All the other manufacturers have basically made their platforms "safe" and they're pretty much like the last generation, but this is pretty ballsy from valve.
It'd make sense for a sleep schedule on flights over 5 hours, let each pilot get an hour sleep after an hour or so in. That way both are rested well before they need to worry about landing.

Kudos to Mattt Thompson and the whole community of collaborators that put work into this release. AFNetworking makes a large part of my job making iOS apps a joy, and I can't wait to start working with latest round of changes and features in this new release (including support for NSURLSession in iOS 7).

That said if you haven't used AFNetworking before, I highly recommend doing so. Start with the AFHTTPRequestOperation class(es). And if you're writing an API wrapper of any kind, definitely check out subclassing either AFHTTPRequestOperationManager (for iOS 6) or AFHTTPSessionManager (for iOS 7).

Edit: Derp, I was wrong — AFHTTPClient's been split-up. Thanks for calling me out, @dcaunt; I've updated my remarks.

I hate touchpads. I use an external mouse with my Macbook. I have a Dell D830 with the nub pointer and it was so much easier to use, especially considering that you don't have to remove your hands from the keyboard and your finger doesn't need to cross 3 inches of space to move across the screen.
> Pardon me for saying so, but saying anything like that just makes you sound like an apologist, a shill. It instantly makes you 200 times less credible.

That's just uncalled for. Can you not perceive that the very same can be said of ”…the first thing I would customize if I had an iPhone: Replace the default browser for Firefox, because that's the only browser that has me covered." comes off in exactly the same manner? The last part comes off as marketing speak to me. Are you an employee of Mozilla, paid or otherwise? As to reducing credibility; petty passive-agressive name calling lowers yours immeasurably.
Even if it doesn't work, we can expect something to spawn from that in the future. Joypads tend to evolve across companies and products. Remember D-Pad and start-select from NES and L+R and 4 group buttons from SNES, then N64 with analogue stick and rumble while PS1 had handles and Saturn added analogue L-R, Dreamcast take it from there, Xbox took what Dreamcast had and perfected it over two iterations, while Sony... ah you get it.
It's not just an income problem. As the article points out, prices for food have been going up because the tech engineers can afford the higher prices. This makes food more difficult for everyone else to get.
I've had several ThinkPads, and I've always disabled the trackpad in the BIOS as soon as I got a new one - it's totally unnecessary when you have the TrackPoint. It's so much faster and more precise. Like amalcon said, I have no idea how anyone can use a trackpad. Whenever I watch a friend use one, or use one myself, it's like the mouse is moving in slow motion compared to me using the TrackPoint. It does take some practice, but it's well worth the investment, just like how learning to touch type pays off in the long run.

I find it fascinating that RMS made his pronouncement in '83 and Linus in '91 (8 years later). At the time (and I was at Sun at that time) 'GNU' was still pretty much just a concept, all of the effort from 1983 -> 1991 was in C (gcc), binutils, and emacs. USL was on the verge of suing BSDi for their BSD project (AT&T had been lobbing threats at the GNU effort for years, especially their use of the word 'UNIX' in the description of their acronym)

Post lawsuit RMS wrote his manifesto and the GPL was born, and the various BSD flavors of UNIX were the only UNIX kernels that had had their software provenance litigated.

Into that Linus wrote his entirely new kernel which was 'unix like' but not UNIX at all on the inside (generally user land felt like UNIX because MINIX felt like UNIX).

And because Linux had a pretty complete history from birth to present (making tracing software ownership possible) RMS annexed it as the GNU "kernel" trying to get everyone to call it GNU/Linux for a while.

Beef, chicken, and pork are the cheapest most cost efficient animal proteins to produce. Its more of a matter of yield and fat content (eg. flavor). A single beef steer can produce more than 600lbs of meat. You can't get that much meat from a lamb, goat, and deer combined. Heck you couldn't get that from 2 of each of them. So you feed 1 mouth and get lots of yield. Chickens are the easiest of the poultry to raise and most versatile for cooking. Almost everyone eats chicken, so high demand. Even people who "don't eat red meat" will eat chicken and fish. And then there is the pig. Easy to domesticate, produces delicious meat at a high yield... and Bacon. Lamb, if prepared properly can be very good. But beef, chicken and pork are much more forgiving.

*grew up raising beef, chicken, and pork. Hunted deer. Had a pet goat (he was a jerk). Never raised sheep, but wouldn't mind having some lamb in my freezer.
This is actually a very interesting observation. Especially as they are making the controller quite open. I don't see the AAA titles working with this soon, as they want to keep their games consistent across platforms, but steam has really been growing for indie devs, and those are exactly the devs that will come up with interesting,unthought of ideas for this type of input
The world of computing had changed a lot in the 8 years between announcements: Consider the number of "Americans Online," the massive drop in the cost of computing power, and the increase in the number of computers in homes and offices between 1983 and 1991.

Stallman, a seasoned academic researcher talking to a small community, was quitting his job. Torvaldes was a student finishing his undergraduate degree at a time when Unix was widespread, Usenet had become popular, and computing power was ubiquitous enough that writing a kernel made sense.
I want someone to design a mouse for the couch. Mouse provides superior aiming for any shooter games. Mouse isn't critical for movement however, I can move just fine with an analog stick. I'm not sure a trackpad would make movement any easier.

First problem: wires. Solution: wireless. Easy.

Second and largest problem: you need a surface. If you're on the couch you don't have a mouse surface. You could use your pants or couch cushion as a surface, but that's obviously not ideal.

Third problem: non-mouse hand. It needs a controller for movement. It can't be a keyboard, nobody is going to want a keyboard on their couch. I'm thinking something like the numchuck of the Nintendo Wii, except with additional buttons. You could experiment with either an analog stick or trackpad for your thumb. Again, it's not for aiming, it's for movement. Your mouse is for aiming.
... HN ate my post, I think.

I am super-excited for this. Finally a way to bring FPS (without aim-assist) and RTS games into the living room. I don't even care about the OS and the box itself, I crave this device. Even if it doesn't measure up to a mouse, it will still be a massive improvement over the traditional thumbstick for pointing-device-oriented games.

My only disappointment is that I wish they'd added a scrollwheel to the right shoulder. Then we'd have a full mouse control-set in your right hand. The scrollwheel is nice for zooming and panning in RTS games.

How did people ever get confused to the point where they think the Force has anything to do with the operation of light sabers? I've heard people say the Force activates it, shapes it, whatever. It's just tech. You only need the force to safely wield it. It is massless and saber against saber strikes cause intense backlash that you otherwise can't control. And of course you need the Force to block blaster bolts and stuff. Although in traditional pen and paper star wars you need the force to just swing a lightsaber safely. Non force sensitive users have a percentage chance to remove a limb :P

I think the idea that Audiour is coming off as a 'cheap copycat' is a concern though. It's something I'll definitely think about.

> ...yes they do.

My mistake, one of my extensions blocked it.

However, a few things to note about their ad vs. yours, which contributes to my perception of your page being confusioning (and making it look less reputable):

* imgur's ad is below-the-fold, while yours is not. That inherently makes theirs more of a 2nd-class citizen, while for yours the ad is a 1st-class citizen.

* imgur's is in it's own, well-defined UI element; a bounded box clearly separated from all other content on the page. As hinted above, yours allows the ad to flow into the rest of the page, and it even borrows the main color (blue) that your page uses. Any demarcation is only virtual, as there is no visual distinction, and I'm not sure if you could blend the ad into the page any better if you tried...

* imgur's even says "advertisement" underneath, so as to remove practically any chance of confusion. Yours has "click here to disable ads", but that alone doesn't explicitly call out the content as being an ad.

Please don't take my criticisms personally.

Is this effectively a fee for having a US embassy process paperwork on your behalf, or are they actually trying to charge a fee for individuals to renounce their citizenship?

How they would collect that $450 if that is the case is beyond me.
