One thing that I think gives the iPad a considerable advantage is its 4:3 aspect ratio. Despite having larger bezels on the ends than the sides, it's an inch shorter than a Nexus 10 in its largest dimension.

The article mentioned 10" tablets and 15" laptops seeming to be on the way out. The difference in largest dimension is even more pronounced with laptops. The last 15" 4:3 Thinkpad was 13.2" wide. The current 15" 16:9 models are 14.7" wide. It's about the same thickness and weight with less depth, but it seems like a much bigger machine because its largest dimension is bigger.

If you want to find out what a Lisp Machine was like just run an emulator for either the MIT or TI ones on your desktop. Both are still being worked on, it wouldn't help their development to have extra translation stages into javascript. Any OpenGenera emulation in a browser would need to download a disk image containing all their commercial software, I can't see them wanting to put this on the web.

There are several Mac emulators that can run on desktop machines, the advantage of this new one to me is that you can package up a snapshot of a particular System version and the software that would have been used with it, I think we need to preserve key stages of computer development for the future.

To solution is to wash them, split them and roast them in the oven with carrots chunks and potato wedges after seasoning with garlic, salt, pepper. When the carrots are done, remove everything and serve in bowls. Great cold day treat.

Why $100k company revenue becomes $57k in San Francisco but $99k in Singapore
I think that depends on if the salary is fair. If it's not fair (below market) then it becomes the overwhelming factor. Above fair, it quickly has diminishing returns and other factors are stronger. Part of good management is recognizing this.
Only until the DDoS is over, it's a temporary measure to protect against it.

The question is: did he see this coming?
I would disagree that they hit homeruns on everything. The most obvious "single" would be the iPhone 5C which, by all accounts, is underselling expectations significantly. As a consumer, Apple "lost the game" by not introducing an iPhone with a larger screen size. Why are HTC and Samsung doing so well in the phone market? Because they offer what clearly millions of people want: a 5" screen. If Apple had introduced a 5" screen iPhone this cycle, how many would they have sold? I can't tell you how many people who have, this year, switched from long time iPhones to Samsung/HTC for this reason (my family included).

That said, I'm buying the iPad Air as an upgrade to my iPad 2 and I'll be updating my 2011 MBP as well because I think they've really hit homeruns for those two.
I remember that; I seem to recall it being eventually tracked down to a run of keyboards coming from a particular manufacturer that was using bad rubber. I was working at a Mac repair shop at the time, and before they sorted this out, we'd have to give all the replacement keyboards a "smell test" before using them or sending them back as bad parts.

Government Digital Service - would this have solved healthcare.gov?
While I can see your point of view, and the grandparent's, let's be fair. These are startups in a rapidly evolving, highly competitive marketplace and they have limited resources. If they spent months triple checking every dotted i and crossed t they might never even launch, and there'd be no company.

Like everything in software it's about tradeoffs. Maybe they erred a little too far on one side of the curve, so let's learn from that. But it's unfair to expect startups to be in the same league as banks security-wise. Do you have any idea how much a good pentest costs?

There are trillions of planets in the universe. Maybe even in our own galaxy. Converting a few of them to computers is pretty minor. Your preference is about as arbitrary as not wanting to destroy any trees in the entire world, or even not wanting to kill a single bacteria or move a single pebble.

I have no idea what kind of goals and desires a futuristic civilization will have. I can imagine a lot of possible goals that could be possibly benefit from giant computers and other mega-projects. But even short of that, you could still just say why not?

The universe is our sandbox. The sand isn't intelligent, it doesn't care what shape it's in. And it wasn't put in it's current shape for any particular reason. But we can build beautiful castles in it that we appreciate. We can play and have fun in it, and it won't matter to the sand one way or the other, but it will matter to us. And at the end of the day the tide will probably wipe it all away anyways.

Apes still have massively reduced brain sizes and are missing many of the adaptions humans had. As far as I am aware teaching them language was only partially successful and they still are nowhere near human level. And it still tells us absolutely nothing about how the brain actually works.

This is one of the reasons why we have shutdown our own CI solution. We didn't have enough manpower to develop the product, audit the whole stack and monitor against attacks.

CircleCI's response to the incident appear adequate. In the best case, their system was shutdown before any keys were compromised. If so, that level of monitoring is certainly better than what the average business would be able to roll on their own.

"BEWARE OF THE LEOPARD" (bottom of text)

I'm surprised this passed on a Government site, slipped it past compliance eh?
The article directly addresses your point: "This system needs the lubricating oil of hypocrisy to keep its gears turning. To ensure that the world order continues to be seen as legitimate, U.S. officials must regularly promote and claim fealty to its core liberal principles; the United States cannot impose its hegemony through force alone."

The U.S. "claim[ing] fealty to its core liberal principles" is a necessary part of keeping the world order running smoothly. Thus hypocrisy decreases the cost of maintaining the world order, because the alternative would be to give up on espousing those liberal principles.

Is any of the stuff he mentions different from how it was pre-2008?

In one sense the reason we still have unemployment is simple - we never had a classical recovery from the recession, we just had a return to normal growth. If you look at almost any historical recession you'll see a spike in unemployment, a dive into negative GDP growth, and a dive in inflation. Then, during the recovery you'll see a spike in GDP growth, a spike in inflation, and the employment level recovering to what it was pre-crash. This recession didn't have peaks in growth and inflation, just a return to normal. If you just looked at the GDP and inflation charts (or a combined NGDP chart) you'd expect that we'd still be having high but falling unemployment right now.

And I could get into a big, long discussion of why this happened involving IOR, and the Fed relying on indicators that are always months out of date, and zero bounds, and certain coughdallascough Fed regional bank presidents being idiots. But whether or not there are supply side problems contributing to high unemployment in the US now, the demand side indicators show we should be having high unemployment now so there's no need to go "WTF".

Firepaperapp - An E-learning system that saves you time.
Firepaper is an elearning web application that takes the pain out of sharing content and collaborating between educators and students.

It matters. You have to hold lots of double resolution images in memory, for example, which obviously eats memory up fast.
You misunderstand. I don't expect a Linux user to understand video driver internals. But I do expect a developer using OpenGL to have some grasp of the situation once he runs into a problem.

I strongly urge you to learn and understand the tools you are using. It's what makes all the difference between a good developer and a great developer.

There's nothing wrong with the issue you reported. Nobody is asking you to send patches. (Though that would be nice.) But you've already added a small test case, so that's excellent.

There are always things you can do to get a better understanding. For example, take AngularJS out of the equation. Turns out, you can add options to a select element and everything's fine. Only once you set the select value, does Firefox flip the highlighted item.
No, that's not it.

If you restart the simulation a few times, you should eventually get something where everything forms into one clump with low initial angular momentum. If you keep watching from that point, you'll see the clump's rotation accelerate entirely on its own.

I'm not entirely sure on the cause, but it does seem to be a simulation flaw.
The arguments to the gstreamer binary are encoders,decoders,filters and i/o piped together like commands in a shell (with the ! operator). For example, this is a shell command to show a h264 network stream on a raspberry pi:

gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtsp://192.168.2.112:8080/stream.sdp ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! omxh264dec ! autovideosink

Gstreamer is more than this, but it'is a neat example.

We think it has a lot to do with our demographic. We’re a research and publishing company and our customers are for the most part consumers over the age of 35. With that being said, I find it hard to believe our demographic should be a hindrance, considering FB is massive and now spans the general population. Furthermore, there are tons of options and means to target our specific demographics. Yet FB leads have the lowest conversion rates seen anywhere and in general every attempt at using the system fails. (once again, we are highly experienced PPC buyers)

Either way, we’re fine spending our budgets elsewhere and understand that FB is working miracles for others. We’ve just always been vexed by the FB advertising hype and this report helps to validate for us that not all markets work for everyone.

Ahh, memories. Reminds me of when ThinkPads were still made by IBM. We used to call them StinkPads back in the day.
Interesting parallel to EME. They've taken the paid for codec licences and the DRM out of Flash and built them into two smaller plugins (one binary based on secret DRM code, one binary based on open source code).

I wonder how this stacks up quality wise to x264. I thought it was a bit suspect that a few months back Cisco announced they would release this under a permissive open source licence only after H.264 was accepted as Mandatory To Implement in WebRTC, while also continuing to argue for H.264 vs VP8 using the highly regarded (though GPL/dual-licenced) x264 encoder.

Also, how can this possibly be legit according to the patent license? Or do the patent owners turn a blind eye, like Microsoft in China, and Adobe with student piracy with their eyes on not losing control?
Hard to see how it would have been worse if all browsers had implemented stop-on-error, because then the developer/tester's browser would not have rendered the erronous page. That would mean that the developer/tester would have had to not try the page even once before shipping, if a bad page were to make it to production.

Good move by Cisco. Mozilla response seems lukewarm though?

Mozilla CTO Brendan Eich:

“Although H.264 will become available to Firefox users thanks to Cisco’s move, the codec still comes with restrictive licensing that we believe is not in the long-term best interests of users and the Web, compared to the situation with a truly free and unrestricted codec.”
