That "all three use Display Postscript, CoreGraphics and Quartz" doesn't mean they use the respective drawing context as it's intended for screen/print work.

Editing LaTeX with Vim on a Mac also uses Quartz to render the Vim window, that doesn't mean that you get what I talked about.

With respect to your examples now, HTML and ePub/Mobi don't guarantee they are WYSIWYG and stable between different viewing devices and contexts. On the contrary, for example even something as basic as the line width can change by making your browser or eBook reader wider.

That said, they are not the standard output of WYSIWYG editors we were talking about either (despite some WYSIWYG editors being able to save in those formats too).

Word, Pages, Open Office et al have print view modes that look identical to what will be printed. As do programs such as InDesign, Quark XPress, etc.
Here's one of the big the reason.

Meat requires a lot of space to grow!

Europe is small, and there isn't a lot of extra space. Less meat.

Enter the United States. WOAH! Lots of land! More space to raise meat! More meat!

NPR mentioned another factor a while back in their program, "The making of meat eating America," American innovation.

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2012/06/26/155720538/the-ma...

Almost two centuries ago, he says, meat was one reason why immigrants found America so amazing. "When the Irish come in the 1840s, they write letters back saying 'I eat meat every day,'" Horowitz says. "And they get letters back saying, 'You must be kidding. It can't be true.'"

Back in Europe, says Horowitz, the growing of livestock was often organized and regulated in a way that funneled meat straight to the wealthy or the landed aristocracy. In the new world, though, meat was much easier to find. Grazing lands were close to cities; sometimes . Farmers quickly realized that raising animals was a good business. Cities set up markets for them. "And the result is a flourishing of the livestock industry, very early in American history."

As a result, when new technology came along, like railroads and refrigeration, American entrepreneurs were able to jump right in and use it to turn beef into a centralized, national industry.

"Why could they sell chilled beef in New York in the 1880s? Because New Yorkers had been getting beef in their markets and butcher shops for at least a hundred years. So we have this new meat coming in? It's a little cheaper, let's give it a try!" Horowitz says.

That's been the story ever since: , more efficient meat production, and Americans kept saying — "Hey, it's a little cheaper, let's give it a try!"
Stallman (and FSF) uses Asterisk, and assumingly a free phone stack when using their physical phones.

Stallman has always refused to use unfree software in devices he own or are directly using. Skype is within that criteria, while an Asterisk powered free software device is not.

Magnus Carlsen plays like he invented the game.
America is a big place. So is Europe. Everybody has something to be ashamed of. Nobody is perfect. National and regional virtues and vices are intrinsically multidimensional, and do not reduce to a single meritocratic scale. Is America "better" than Europe. Bottom. The question makes no sense, because the notion of "better" or "worse" does not apply.

I am from the UK.

Through time, both historically and more recently, my fellow countrymen have engaged in any number of ethically horrendous actions that disgust and offend my sense of what is right and proper. I don't want to be caught defending the concentration camps in 1950's Kenya. I don't want to be caught defending the (recent) off-hand murder of unarmed prisoners-of-war in Afghanistan.

By the same token, I am imperfect too. I don't want to be caught defending some of the things that I have done and said in the past.

There is no sense of righteousness driving this, just a generalised sense that the world is a slovenly place, and that leading a good, moral, conscientious life is beyond the abilities of most of us.

We all have a responsibility, as fellow human-beings, to support each other in our efforts to improve our world (no matter how futile those efforts might appear to be).

What's really scary about Carlsen is I don't think he's close to reaching his full potential yet. He's rapidly approaching the level of dominance in elite chess not seen since Fischer or Kasparov, and he's only 22. I can't think of anyone in the next Candidate's Tournament that would be a serious threat to take Carlsen's title, aside from maybe Kramnik.

I'm also really interested to see the impact Carlsen winning the World Championship has on the game's popularity worldwide. He's a very marketable champion, young with good looks and modelling contracts. Both of the former champions, Kramnik and Anand, are obviously very popular in chess circles (and Anand is immensely popular in India), but maintained generally lower profiles in the media.

The next couple of years should be really interesting for chess. My hope as an American is that Nakamura can eventually qualify for the Candidate's Tournament and set up a dream title match down the road.

When I specifically asked him if he had read the bill in question to which he was objecting, which was available on the Web, he said that he had not, because he doesn't surf the Web. He, not I, equated "surfing" with "reading documents."

The impression I got from that conversation was that Stallman makes no effort to go out and find things that would be useful and of interest to him.

I don't call that "surfing," but "research" and "responsible," especially from someone who then calls upon people to contact their public representatives.

I don't care how much he hangs out on Hacker News, or elsewhere. I do care that he clearly indicated, in that conversation, that he will not do the necessary legwork (which doesn't even require using your legs) that can even help to strengthen his arguments.

I also think that it's helpful for everyone to read things from opposing and diverse viewpoints. By only reading those documents that his supporters send him, I worry that Stallman is ignoring arguments that may inform his own, or even change them.
While I share your opposition to all things DRM I'm sure this wifi/HDMI dongle suffers from similar limitations regarding file types.

Since the wifi stream can't be raw 1080p video it has to be re-encoded on the fly which will lead to some visual artifacts. If the encoding is well done it shouldn't be much of an issue however.

Archaeologists Officially Declare Collective Sigh Over “Paleo Diet”
I think they're actually quite different (disclaimer, my first Chromecast is sitting in its just delivered box on my desk as I type this).

Setting aside tabcasting, Chromecast is for streaming from "the cloud" onto your big screen TV. Your other device (phone, tablet etc.) only sends instructions on what to play and the Chromecast takes over.

This is all about sending the video direct from your device. I'd say that's a much worse solution for Youtube/Netflix/HBO Go etc. but has many other uses, like sharing the screen with others as you interact with it via a mouse.

Tabcasting might evolve, but I'd say what Chromecast does particularly well is the other thing, particularly as a locked down device that Netflix etc. can trust.

But I think there's space for an "open" chromecast-like device too.

I wonder if it's a sort of defense mechanism people develop. The Real World is quite crazy, and is typically governed by social rules that are fluid at the best of times, and totally incomprehensible at the worst (or for those that may lack certain social skills). Meanwhile, the fictional worlds in which we create are almost always governed by clearly defined, logical rules. If something strange happens, you just have to keep reading and it will (usually) be explained to you. Retcons notwithstanding.

I presume this is also why people are always so up in arms when something happens that contradicts the previously-established rule set.
It could be a hardware issue too. My graphics card doesn't support it, even though my browser should.
Only the first. You have got to read their response yourself. If you don't, it can't possibly work. Or it shouldn't work. You're basically accepting a relationship where people ignore each other.

The people who drop out after that second message are probably the real keepers. The ones that stay apparently didn't say anything worthy of a response anyway.

"I remember a few months back on here when we were going 'Why don't people use PGP more? Oh yeah, the interface sucks.' And did anyone change the interface? Nope, not to my knowledge at least."

Some people do use PGP, but they pay for it or it's an internal component in a larger system. GPG, the OSS version does have a sucky interface, but that's not the real issue people don't use it, there's three others:

1) Most people don't give a shit about encryption
2) Most people are too fucking lazy to understand/use encryption (Not being cynical, this is reality.)
3) Writing good encryption software is thankless and discouraging. There's a ton of commercial companies that use SSH and GPG that haven't donated squat to the developers.

"Did any of us make better encryption tools, despite there being available encryption libraries? Not to my knowledge."

You don't work where I do. I wrap GPG in another layer of software to make it more usable to the above average folks at my job. It's mainly limited to automated processes.

I would love to see a few more people contribute to open source. I read article after article about people who want to make a switch from their Apple or Microsoft Desktop, but then say open source / floss desktops are not ready or not productive enough.

There is a huge disconnect in that these people don't feel empowered to jump in, fix those defects and make it the desktop they have always wanted. I think blogs like this will help point them in the right direction.
I find the $70 for a text editor (sublime) to be expensive. Price is relative.

I wrote the post about an hour ago so how could I have known :-)
I think you missed the point. The point, to me at least, was that (a) humans have tendencies, and (b) the author of the article wanted to see if he could detect Handford's tendencies with simple analysis. It was a clever idea for an article and well done, I thought.
Back of the envelope calculation:

(1920 * 1080 * 3 * 60) / 1024.0 / 1024.0
=> 355.96 MB/s

300mbps wireless n:

300 / 8.0
=> 37.5 MB/s

Given that the whole point of HDMI is image quality, how are they going to shove 355MB/s through a 37.5MB/s link without lowering the quality hugely?

It all seems rather pointless to have a large, high quality display and content, and force it through a small link.
>If WYSIWYG editing is not inherently limited, why do pretty much no editors actually support it? For example, spelling/grammar checkers are useful, but when pseudo-WYSIWYG editors implement them, they underline the text, or change its colour. This colouring and formatting doesn't appear when the document is printed.

That's just an extra convinience feature you can turn on or off, and doesn't have anything to do with whether the editor is WYSIWYG or not.

It's not like the program forces you to see red swiggly lines underneath words when editing...

>Hyperlinks are usually hit and miss; sometimes they print as 'blue and underline' (but, of course, are useless), sometimes they don't.

Which is configurable too in all editors I know of. And the "blue and underline" is not exactly useless -- it conveys the information that this part of the document was a hyperlink initially.

>In short, what you see is certainly not what you get

No, it's 99.9% of what you get, minus additional layers of information that people expect to be there, and you can turn on or off.
Regarding the perceptron, most modern texts also have a regret analysis for the perceptron, which coupled with an online-to-batch conversion tells you how well do you expect a perceptron to perform on unseen data after a single pass, and it's usually a very good estimate (the answer is on average about as well as it did on the examples in the training data).

As someone aware of gnu, but not an active participant, how effective are requests like this? Does "Can people start working on this?" actually get results? I'm curious as this gets to the heart of why they may have trouble finishing things. (You can't toss money at someone to do the dirty work)

I'm coming with an open mind, and would like to hear either side of this.
If the actual number is still doubling rapidly from a recent nadir, isn't the implication the same?

Also, for people who don't see this as natural (and I agree that it looks almost mechanical), is this a misguided "51%" attack? (Seems unlikely given that if you have the resources for that, you also probably understand how it works.) Just curious what people see this sudden change as representing.

To add some additional context as to why Chinese don't trust their banks, Bloomberg did a long writeup on the credit bubble problems over there [1].

I agree. I found myself going through different stages of thinking about bitcoin. I mined early in 2011 and almost sold all of my bitcoin thinking that it would crash any day. Having witnessed three supernova price movements and bitcoin coming quickly back each time settling on a higher value, it does not look like a "penny stock" anymore that would be dead after just one such run. It might be the single simple fact that BTC generation is predictable that creates a pull for people who are willing to bet part of their savings on it. If enough do that, bitcoin becomes a value storage system - self fulfilling prophecy. If that's the case we are just at the beginning.

I have a few issues with the claims or omissions made regarding this instrument. The piano forte wasn't invented until the 18th century. A few people have already mentioned that the hurdy-gurdy is very similar in function to this instrument. This instrument looks like four hurdy-gurdies stacked for an extended octal range stuck inside a piano enclosure. So what exactly was Da Vinci's contribution to this instrument and how much of Da Vinci's design was "augmented" by the builders?
