> The Saturn V rocket was 111 meters (363 feet) tall, about the height of a 36-story-tall building, and 18 meters (60 feet) taller than the Statue of Liberty. Fully fueled for liftoff, the Saturn V weighed 2.8 million kilograms (6.2 million pounds), the weight of about 400 elephants. The rocket generated 34.5 million newtons (7.6 million pounds) of thrust at launch, creating more power than 85 Hoover Dams. A car that gets 48 kilometers (30 miles) to the gallon could drive around the world around 800 times with the amount of fuel the Saturn V used for a lunar landing mission. It could launch about 118,000 kilograms (130 tons) into Earth orbit. That's about as much weight as 10 school buses. The Saturn V could launch about 43,500 kilograms (50 tons) to the moon. That's about the same as four school buses.

To get some rough idea of scale, this blueprint shows a person near the engine / nozzle / thing.

This was a while ago, but Gandi disabled my account - with no warnings - for running a Tor node on one of my VPSes. I then had to send a copy of my passport to eventually get it reenabled. The frustrating thing was that they were also my domain registrar, so during that time I lost all access to my domains as well.

I transferred my domains away after that and decided it wasn't wise to mix services together due to this risk. So now I have domains with Tucows, DNS with Hurricane Electric and VPS with a provider that only does VPS. And I don't bother running Tor nodes any more.

Yeah, that's a very totalitarian point of view. Believe as I do or eat bullets subhuman scum.
I've created native iOS apps, native Android apps, HTML5 apps and I've used wrappers (Titanium Mobile and PhoneGap) over the last few years and these are my findings:

- Native apps take a lot of time to build, especially when you are a web-developer without in-depth knowledge of the extensive frameworks available to the native platforms.

- Wrappers work, but are not nearly as great and snappy as native apps; They might contain a lot of hard to fix bugs as well and are harder to debug if they tend to crash.

- HTML5 only apps are not available in the market/store so no free advertising, you can't access things like the camera with HTML5 only, you therefore need a wrapper.

My vote goes to native development; Although it's more work and code to write it's much faster and stable if done correctly. You've got more freedom and bugs can be solved. A native app just feels right, where a HTML5 only app won't give you the best user experience you can get, no matter how much time you put into it. If you need a flexible, big, cross-platform app without a lot of budget to build at least 2 native apps a HTML5 app with wrapper would be a decent option, but for anything else (especially the more simple apps with just 2 or 3 different views) you should go with native.

It sounds equivalent to "don't buy scripts or other moviemaking services from Communists."

The distinction you are attempting to draw about attacking others makes little sense given the examples I cited. Opponents of polygamy, supporters of Obamacare and opponents of privacy all favor attacking others (polygamists, people who don't buy health insurance, and people who don't cooperate with spying). Most public policies involve attacking someone - all laws are ultimately enforced at the point of a gun.

It's not about ethics, it's about beliefs vs qualities. Being gay is a genetic trait, it's not a formed belief system. Whether that was generally understood 70 years ago is neither here nor there. Furthermore, there is the question of liberty. Being gay and performing homosexual acts is a personal choice, it does not hurt anyone else the way bigotry does.

We added performance comparison with MongoDB. MongoDB is very slow on loading data (slide 59) - 8 minutes vs 76s,
seqscan speed is the same - about 1s, index scan is very fast - 1ms vs 17 ms with GIN fast-scan patch. But we managed to create new opclass (slides 61-62) for hstore using hashing of full-paths concatenated with values and got 0.6ms, which is faster than mongodb !

It's worth noticing, that MongoDB index is very "narrow" index, while hstore's indexes could speedup more queries.

People using lots of goroutines should note the change of minimal stack from 4KB to 8KB.

“Updating: The increased minimum stack size may cause programs with many goroutines to use more memory. There is no workaround, but plans for future releases include new stack management technology that should address the problem better.”

This is a runtime/debug call to restrict the max size of stack. Somehow I feel like there should be one to set the min size too…

"When it [iPhone] first came out in early 2007, there were no apps you could buy from outside developers, and Jobs initially resisted allowing them," writes Isaacson. "He didn't want outsiders to create applications for the iPhone that could mess it up, infect it with viruses, or pollute its integrity."

It makes sense to me to use both to a degree. The frontend and UI will greatly benefit from using HTML5 while stability will depend a lot on the native aspects.

HTML5 is designed to run in a browser which is always on. Native development is designed so that the user can switch betweens apps easily, without having an app to be slow.

Also with native you have access to the full device api such as sensors. HTML5 is closing the gap, but Native increases the gap every few months.

Mind the gap.

Bruce Sterling: Internet (1993)
Always goes only for native. Here're why I don't go HTML5.

(1) Access to low-level and platform-specific features. Whatever I do, I always eventually need it as program gets specialized, and always be frustrated on non-native platforms. Usually cross platform stuffs lack this or needlessly painful even they offer it. Also you still have to write platform specific code even they support it. (2) Freedom of development. From native, it's relatively easier to build up HTML5 stuffs on top of it. (or whatever…) So I still can utilize HTML5 stuff if I really need it. Reverse is mostly impossible. (3) (Though that's arguable, what's native?…) Compatibility. Native development on C/C++ level always offer best compatibility. There's no computing platform doesn't support C/C++. Emscripten extended this even to HTML5. HTML stuffs are available only on browsers and a few specialized platforms. (4) Legacy. I always discover a mostly ideal implementation exists on native platform where HTML5 people are making efforts to bring. This includes better toolset for code writing and debugging. (5) Future. (I imply HTML5 == markup+CSS+JS). No serious major browser vendor really loves HTLM5. Because that limits their platform features. That's why they're adding WebGL and C/C++ support or whatever non-HTML stuffs from native world.

"It depends" is the only sensible answer. How many people do you have to work on it? Can you get both iOS and Android programmers? How does it fit in with the rest of your company and its goals? What is the purpose of the application? How solid are the specs - in the sense of knowing exactly what the app should do, or is it more a MVP type of thing where you're trying to see what the problem space is like?
what kind of app? that's the question you should be asking yourself first.
Holy crap. I just discovered that development for Enlightenment has resumed. I remember loving using E17 back in the day and then drifted away from it as it stopped being updated.

>> If we ignore everything ever said by people with nasty beliefs, we'd basically never read anything written more than 100 years ago

Which of the two do you believe?

1) There is an objective Correct Set Of Beliefs, and we're closer to it now then ever before, hence you can judge people in the past.
2) There are no objectively correct beliefs, hence people in the past would be just as correct to say that you have nasty beliefs.

If #1, where do you get your objective set?

If #2, why do you make your statement?

I hope you don't take the inconsistent position many people do: say there's nothing objective when others judge you, but act as though there is when you judge others.

(Personally I believe there are objective truths, and each generation gets some things right and other things wrong. But that's a Christian view.)

How about kivy (http://kivy.org/#home) for something of a middle ground? It's a python graphical framework making heavy use of opengl via an optimised cython interface. It has fairly powerful access to the android api through pyjnius (which gives direct access to java classes) or pyobjus on ios (which is less mature but has the same idea).

On the plus side, since it's native to the device (albeit with a different interface), you can do pretty well for speed through the already optimised graphical interface and through optimising your own apps with cython or even C modules if necessary. Other pros include pyjnius/pyobjus for api integration as above (some of which is already abstracted as python modules), and neat perks like the ability to mostly develop on desktop without an emulator.

On the other hand, it has some of the same disadvantages as html5, such as non-native widgets. So by no means a perfect solution, but an interesting contender.
No. Having a nice, feature rich type system doesn't make a language overcomplicated. See Haskell's one.

I would argue that having a bad type system definitely can make a language overcomplicated, full of edge cases and dark spots.

When you don't specify how far ahead in the future you are projecting these things to happen, technological innovations like "Robots Will Be Commonplace" are quite easy to predict. Especially when he appears to be lumping much of AI into the "robots" category.

I'll readily admit I don't know what sells for the times but this opinion piece makes me feel like I just wasted time (I guess I probably shouldn't have commented on it as well to exacerbate the problem).
Not quite. Gandi has a morals clause in their ToS.

From the Gandi blog: (http://www.gandibar.net/post/2007/01/11/Gandi-fights-back-ag...)

Domains registered with Gandi must be used in accordance with the rights of third parties (copyrights, intellectual property rights, personality rights, etc.), and current applicable laws and regulations.

For example, Gandi does not tolerate activity that is morally objectionable or that poses a threat to public order, that spreads Computer Contaminants (Viruses, Trojans, etc.), and/or that engages in fraudulent activity such as Identity Theft.

Some of these things are fairly broad and vague. There's the whole grey area of speech that may or may not violate the rights of a third party. Then you have the whole "public order" thing. Plus, you're potentially dealing with French legal standards, which may be very different than the US standards that I'm used to.

I became "douche" without know it by accident.

I had many problems in the past when choose which garment use. The most difficult was combine all together, so I decided to buy clothes from only a single brand, and only leave the accessories free from the "1 brand method". So I eliminated the problems of combining clothes.

The truth of this experience is that this worked but then I realized some things:

1. It's a double sharp knife idea. Because when you find a really lovely cloth piece from another brand, you start switching clothes to combine better. It hurts your economy every time you want to change idea.

2. I became an official "douchebag" for buying a clothing brand that is associated with douche/snob people, and this little details was unknown to me until some day a friend of mine told me: dude, that brand is for douchebags. It happened because point 1: browsing the web I saw a cool shirt and that lend me to compulsively buy everything in less than 2 months i was full of that brand clothes.

The direction I'm taking is more or less like Steve Jobs or other prominent people who didn't care about the clothing and they care more about the important stuff they want to make. In fact, many years ago I've meet Joi Ito and it surprised me he used the same clothing all the time, he has the same black shirts, black pants and it feels that he doesn't need to change anything to feel well. I want to take that kind of direction using clothes without any kind of visual brand or text messages and using the same models so I don't need to care about clothing anymore.

For the organization ones, I do use simple ikea furniture, piled by colors and tiers in this order: t1 shirts, t2 pants, t3 jerseys, hoodies.
