Wrong. Try again. I shoot rain or shine. 2 major competitive shoots a month and 1 small competitive shoot per week. I have to reload an average of 2 flats of ammo per week just to keep up with my shooting.

Let me be more clear. I own 2 AK variants (owned 3) and one M1A. The M1A runs circles around the AK's... and I'm not partial to American made firearms either.

Or, you can blindly trust your Hollywood action movies or clueless bloggers on their so-called knowledge of firearms.

> Today, you can still buy a 30-inch 2560x1600 display for over $1,000. Or you can get a 39-inch 3840x2160 display for $500. This choice is not even fair.

Yes, you can buy a wonderful, physically adjustable, mountable, color calibrated, blissful contrast, delightful brightness control monitor with a great matte finish like the Dell 3014... or you can buy an absolutely awful 30hz, locked in place, blue tinted, horrible uniformity, terrible brightness, awful contrast, with horrible black levels and really -- just horrific to work on 4K "tv". I speak from first hand experience, it is absolutely one of the worst panels I have ever had the misfortune to stare at vim on.

The colors are so awful that literally, some of my favorite themes (seoul256) where ENTIRELY unusable, just a greymush of nothingness. With bright spots and dark spots to make reading code even harder. So, I tried a black background theme... only to be horrified with the black level.

I agree with the author there is no comparison, obviously almost anything beats the Seiki. Hell, most review sites won't even recommend it as a TV, let alone a monitor.
Why would you care about the aspect ratio instead of vertical pixel count? I think wide-screens are okay as long as there is enough vertical space (to read code, articles etc.). The window manager is a software problem and can be fixed For eg, Ubuntu's Unity had some clever solutions to utilize wide-screens efficiently.

I've had some really good versions of the Facebook app for Android until they decided to ship me a different version. One day it's a really snappy version with a useful navbar at the bottom, the next it's laggy and navigation makes no sense.

I did the same (but my screen is taller than yours is large :P), but I think there are a few reason why this hasn't seen larger adoption.

People like to have their TV on all day long: with a projector you can't, because it won't be very visible in daylight and it will burn through lamps like it's popcorn.

Second point, modern TVs usually have a tuner in, you plug them in and they work. Also you don't need to adjust the image until it's rectangular.

You don't need to have a line of sight for a TV, chairs and people are not an issue.
Especially if you're using your monitors for gaming and such, in addition to work. I was a bit disappointed at first, having just upgraded to 3x 27" 1920x1080 monitors, thinking I could have had 2x 39" 4Ks for about the same price. But 30Hz would basically eliminate gaming on them, much less Eyefinity/Nvidia Surround. With the 3x 27" set up you can easily move them between rooms when you're not using all three, too.

It seems to me that whenever something security related is published, there is an expectation that it has to be something completely new. Something that was previously thought impossible. It's almost as if software has no value if it doesn't exploit some new bug.

For example, everybody knows that root is allowed to do basically anything on a system. If you write a blog post about a technique that requires root access, the typical reaction is "boring, of course root can do that". Everybody knows it's possible, and therefore it's considered uninteresting.

Why doesn't that same attitude apply to other software development? If I write a new chat app or a new operating system, nobody replies with "boring, of course a computer can do that". Even though everybody already knows it's possible to write an operating system.

It sometimes baffles me why the practical side of software development is often considered trivial just because it begins with a root shell, or in this case, physical access.
No, Pythons dynamicness means it is in general impossible to find all available completions:

I tried calibrated it with both X-Rite and Spyder (both physical calibration devices) -- neither could get it anywhere near "average". It just swings all over the place. Also, calibration can't fix horrible blacks, uneven brightness and the finish.

What equipment did you use? Can you post your pre/post scores? I have NEVER met anyone who has been able to actually calibrate it into even "average" ranges. I realize that X-Rite and Spyder are "consumer grade" calibration devices, but they are all I have access to.
Unroll.me scans your complete mail data and has a tremendous security hole
Yesterday, I had a short discussion with Kathleen, my co-founder, about the tool and I pointed out the scale of data mining unroll.me is running and the implications for privacy and data security. As I wanted to know how these unroll mails look like, Kathleen forwarded one to me. And then – boom! I could access _her_ whole unroll.me account by just clicking on the rollup mail she forwarded! No need to log in anywhere, I just could access her subscriptions, doing whatever I wanted to with her data. THIS. IS. A. TREMENDOUS. SECURITY. HOLE!

Honestly, it depends on the person.

At work I have an old 75Hz 1024 x 1280 panel (portrait) beside a newer 60Hz 1200p panel. If you look closely, you can tell the old panel is smoother. But its just that.. you have to look closely. It definitely isn't a jarring difference. IMO I wouldn't get much more out of a 120Hz panel just for programming and daily use.

As for gaming, wI know the extra framerate definitely smooths out the experience in FPS games. I'd take a 1440p IPS panel over a 1080p TN (120hz) any day, but I know others who say the exact opposite. Its totally subjective.
Annotalysis can do this for C++ as well. The problem is that you need to enforce an ordering on locks to avoid deadlocks. That works fine if they're all within one module. It doesn't work at all if you have to coordinate callbacks across threads from different third-party libraries.

The usual solution I've seen given for this is "Don't invoke callbacks when holding a lock." This is not a viable solution for most programs.
Let me try to explain the concerns using couple of points:

(1) Google (if it wants to), can influence the opinion of the entire country, by promoting content it wants people to see. That essentially could mean, a government coming to power that Google likes, not the people of India.

(2) With India lacking any data privacy law, this data will flow to google's data centers outside India. In a (future) war like situations, this data could become an important weapon.
Also 100% correct.

I think the football players in Europe are also pretty uneducated, though not being active in a college or uni nobody really cares. We just take it for granted.

My problem with football is the toxic environment that develops around it, all the abusive fans (a bunch of misogynist, homophobes, xenophobes and racist lowlifes), all the damn betting agencies - the black spot in any neighbourhood, all the scandals about bribes and such.

It's a shame, because the sport itself is very nice.
I don't think I'd want to work somewhere where it appears to be compulsory to use a ridiculously cheap $500 39 inch UHD display. How ridiculous! 28-30 inch is plenty big enough for a desktop computer.

The intentions are good. But seriously, why not just wait a few weeks for the Dell 4K monitor that's price well under $1000.
"Douchebag culture (which is in vogue among the VC darlings, especially in the elite networks OP described) is a historically white phenomenon: popped collars, brogramming, saying shit like YOLO and WHPH ("work hard play hard"). Douchebag culture is a dominant culture in the Valley."

For those partial deployments, sounds like you're after a release tool, where 'release' is used in the Amazon sense: a versioned collection of versioned packages. Doesn't fix your tags problem...

I feel like I'm less productive on multiple monitors. I've tried them a number of times, but they've never felt natural. I just prefer looking straight ahead, managing a single screen, and clicking between the few programs I'm running in the taskbar. Also, I like some room on my desk, and big monitor displays just seem overwhelming.

Screen resolution is important though, otherwise everything just feels cramped. I'm perfectly happy with a nice 23-30" monitor. Anywhere within that size range is fine, but it needs to be a quality panel. I work with a lot of very subtle colors, and light gray tones. With a TN panel they're invisible half the time, or I'm constantly shifting up and down in my seat trying to find the sweet spot for more accurate colors.

If I had to pick my dream setup, it would be a single 30" monitor. If Dell gets those 4K 30" displays rolling out, I'm sure they'll be great. For now, I don't feel like my productivity is suffering in any way with a 24" monitor.

Personally, I find I'm most productive when I have a nice clean workspace, natural light, and a good chair. For example, I just grabbed a photo off Google...

http://articlesofton.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/01-04_home_...

Replace the chair, and it's ideal for me. Bright light, and minimal clutter.
AFAIK, most private schools also receive some funding by the government (if they want).

You seem to believe that private schools are always better, but at least in my field, the top public universities are regarded as better than any private school.

>> "Professional sports is a legitimate career which doesn't really require a college education, so we could really learn from Europe's clean division between school and sports."

I really hope that was sarcasm and I'm just missing it. I don't think the American system is all that great but seriously, have you listened to an English footballer give an interview? They can barely string a sentence together. Think of the kids who believe as you say, it's a legitimate career. The ones who then don't become professional and can't get a job as they left school so early.
Sorry, but that system is so utterly strange to me. I really do not have the ability to understand this. Might be my problem, might be a cultural problem, as I am not an American.

But in what universe could this be a good thing? What does sports do for the development of mankind? It distracts, it is just "panem et circensis"[1] and it is nothing more than a big business.

So the people trying to teach people the ability to better the world have to "fight for the scraps" while others reap the benefits of telling youngsters to run faster, kick harder or throw better?

It's not ours to spend. It belongs to future generations as much as it does ours.

The money is invested and some of the yearly return on that investment is spent each year. At present the government is at liberty to spend up to 4% of the fund each year (though they don't always do this, due to risk of creating inflation, heating up the real-estate market etc). The investment fund is well-managed, but some argue that spending 4% each year might mean we're eating into the principle.

If the VR is good enough to make your brain fall for the illusion, paintball and laser tag are just a few of the many things you could implement.

On a side note, and without wanting to complain about Penn State specifically: I spent a few weeks in State College, PA a few years ago as a student (coming from Germany) and was extremely weirded out. I felt as if I was visiting from another planet.

Overall, most things I saw while in the US, I could relate to in some way (industrious New York, beggars in Philadelphia, the tourist traps of New York, the hectic fast food restaurants), but I never managed to connect to the "college town experience" even though I had something like four weeks to do so.

Everything seemed to be curated, just like some footage of childhood christmas you see on television. Students and the interests of students dominated the entire experience. I felt as if I was visiting a theme park.

Funnily enough, I only tangentially registered the obsession with sports that seems to be very prevalent there. What I distinctly remember is wondering, why the "Academic Bookstore" had more Sports apparel and team merchandise than books in it.

It is hard to say if any meaningful insight can be gained from my personal experience there. I heared somewhere that going to college is an important way for young people in the US to escape culturally difficult surroundings (say, a radically religious community), but IMO it feels kind of sad that the college world is so separated from the rest of US culture.
This post puzzled me. I feel like it was missing an introductory paragraph with a thesis and summary of the two branching models. You have to read part way through the article (ignoring the confusing diagram) before this becomes apparent.
