I just started looking at Rust and like what I see so far. I may be able to help; I worked on the Windows port of Go and put together the MinGW build environments as well as the binary installers.

If someone can point me to a list of outstanding issues/requirements and a contact person it'd be much appreciated. Note, I've already found this https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/8996 and this https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/1237.

I'm assuming the workflow notes at https://github.com/mozilla/rust/wiki/Notes are up to date?
Well, this is just about the opposite of what many people have been moving towards for the past decade (smaller, more portable, lighter).

I do think a single large monitor would be nice. I'm using dual 24's with a 13" retina display centered below and find it difficult to make smart use of the screen space because I have to turn my head constantly.

Although I don't have any problem stitching side-by-side commits in a terminal, or keeping multiple text buffers akimbo in general (its what the terminal is ideal for), I can't argue with most of your points because you're probably 100% correct in the context of your environment and it's limited modes of input (mouse-centric). And you have my sympathies. Being forced to use the mouse is a drag, and I would argue, a cruel thing to do to users from an accessibility standpoint. This (without going deeply into it) is what ultimately binds me to my "limited" set of inputs: keystroke. Yet being bound to the keyboard interface has only helped my productivity. When I get improperly formatted assets from my designer (i know, right?) I can actually do all manipulation, resizing, splitting, converting from the CLI faster than I can send ze an email! (even some minor visual stuff! but my designer fucking hates when i do that so i tend not to anymore.)

But your environment and my environment are likely completely different and YMMV.
I for one enjoyed the coinage. Fucknozzlery is a wonderfully verbal word.
Some of the 4k displays out there are literally two panels glued together. Fortunately, DisplayPort supports multiple displays per connection, but DP hubs are expensive, presumably even if they're internal to the monitor. I'm not sure that using this feature would work for having two chips drive a single monolithic panel.
I don't really understand monitor specs, is the 30mhz limit due to the size of the monitor, or is it a GPU limitation on most PCs?

I'm wondering if a 4k 36" monitor would have a better 40mhz limit or something?

Also, my laptop is a few years old with Intel HD integrated graphics. Any idea if it would have enough power to run one of these?

What about a ChromeBook?

I'm trying to get an idea of just how much power these things need?

I was hoping to learn about a Mac vulnerability, not a feature documented by Apple.

The Rubber Ducky is interesting though. I wonder if Android apps have the right APIs available such that an app could do the same thing. As long as your battery isn't already full, there's nothing suspicious about plugging your phone into a computer.
A debate without the accompanying upvotes would trigger the flamewar penalty though.
This was mentioned in the article. Although I recommend having both a firmware password and encryption enabled. It's not as easy to break the firmware password these days, and it will help prevent further unauthorized access/changes.

College football, at least, might as well be a minor league. The stars play for two years, abandon their degree, and join the NFL. You'd have to be very naive to think that the athletes at top div 1 programs are true "student-athletes". Look at Penn State for a prime example of toxic "athletics are everything" college football culture. Look at the numerous recruitment scandals in which players or players' families were offered money or perks in exchange for matriculation. So they can't read? Play calling cards are images anyway. That's the attitude at these schools.
Who's sending death threats? People who make money off having good athletes in universities regardless of their education levels? Athletes who are afraid of being kicked out? Other? Four death threats seems awfully high for such a topic.

And what was the university thinking? Seems like denying knowledge of the report and claiming they can't comment on it without data (to CNN, not to a high school newspaper) was a terrible move given they had not only been given the reports, but had paid for the data which was in them.
Please don't depend on MinGW. MSVC is the best supported compiler toolchain on Windows. Use it.

I'd love to help with this, but I'm under the impression that this would also require getting llvm working properly under msvc, which just sounds like an immense task.
The panel is capable of 120hz on both 39" and 55" but the 39" is further restricted to 60hz at all resolutions. The limit at 4K to 30hz is the HDMI connection. The TV does not have DisplayPort, though HDMI 2 is hoped for in a future firmware update. (At least based on Sony's announcement of such an firmware update for their sets.)

Unfortunately, the case law is also of limited utility without the statutory/regulatory law underlying it.
Wow.... I can't believe it's that bad. While I can understand athletes performing at lower levels than average students, there are certainly basic minimums that must be met. If 8-10% are below a 3rd grade reading level as the article claims, then just imagine how many are below a high-school level.

I suspect there'd be a niche but viable market for non-interactive or semi-interactive content. Off the top of my head, I can see a handful of use-cases where immersive VR would be a huge plus over a two-dimensional image:

* Being able to view complex choreography (martial arts, dancing, etc.) from different angles

* Conveying a sense of size and scale -- e.g. Pacific Rim, Godzilla

* Recreating some emotion or feeling imparted by the surrounding environment -- e.g. the franticness of a war zone, the claustrophobia of a submarine
Sure; I'm not convinced it's not worth it for most people! I'm just not sure how able they'll be to convince people of that, and I don't expect it's worth it for me (unfortunately).

It isn't even a vulnerability. It's just the state of the world.

And disk encryption doesn't actually save you from it, it just makes the attacker have to do more work. Namely plugging a device with a bit of flash on it between the hard drive and the SATA controller and then booting a stub OS from the flash which runs the OS on the original hard drive in a hypervisor with a key logger in the keyboard driver and waits for the user to type the encryption password.

Unrestricted physical access = root, the end.
I'm not saying no, but when you start talking pets, you start talking policies. For office pets, there's what to do when somebody's allergic (which will happen day n where n is small). If it's really the "office's" cat, instead of, say, "your" cat, there's who changes the cat box, manages trips to the vet, keeps the cat over the weekend; the list is not endless but if you don't get down to "who cleans up cat piss in the server room" your list is too short.

Full disclosure: I am technical co-founder of a small lifestyle business, and my dog has been coming to the office with me since day 1, for 10 years. We allow anybody else's dogs to come in, also. Our rules are: Dogs only, on the "dog-side" of the office. Dog-side has a door that keeps dog-side dog-side. Dogs have to get along with each other. Dog messes are the responsibility of the dog owner. You can leave your dog unattended for a couple of hours if you get somebody to be responsible for walks & stuff.

A couple of folkways have arisen. No chicken bones in any dog-side garbage can is an example. If you get the dogs barking by kicking a tennis ball around, you have to calm them back down.
For your entire disk though. If you only turn it on for your Personal folder, it does nothing to prevent this, and will in fact only give you a false sense of security.
That's great. Really, the only case in C++ I want operator overloading, is to implement standard math operators on custom types, like Vector3s, Matrices, and Bignums.
Not afraid of cannibals and nazi's are you?
This is just a guess, but I would suspect it's the fans. I remember seeing actual riots at my former school over a football (the American variety) game - the cars flipped, fires started, campus-police-in-full-riot-gear-firing-tear-gas kind. The fans probably just associate it as some brainiac professor declaring war on their culture and insulting their beloved players, and respond with hatemail and death threats.
If you don't have customers visiting your office and plan on discriminating against all future employees with cat allergies then, yes, it is ok.
This is a welcome change. We've - SeatGeek - been using git tags to mark successful deploys, as well as manual hipchat notifications for deploy starts/successes/failures. It falls over when you do thousands of deploys a year - rarely is there a day when there are absolutely no deploys - as we do. Any clones of git repos simply fall over with so many tags. Cleaning those up on the servers is also annoying.

One thing I'll be curious to see is if there is a way to mark partial deploys. For certain services, SeatGeek deploys to multiple datacenters in distinct deployments (not rolling). These are tracked separately, though it would be nice to have them in a single deployment. Looks like it'll require extra metadata in the `description` field.

One minor annoyance is our increased dependence upon Github :)
"Small size" -- cry me a river. Yes, byte size is important but it's not more important than code reuse and all the benefits that come with it

Code reuse and security depend on developer's skill. You can have both in a home-brew microframework or have neither while using something more popular. Code size, on the other hand, is something you cannot get rid of, once you commit to a certain solution.

By the way, the Retina image on the blog post was 46kb over the wire which is bigger than all the JS in his app.

This wouldn't be true if he had more JavaScript in his app. The argument doesn't make any sense.

I sense zero respect for people on slow internet connections from you. Yes, it is a real problem. Yes, modern framework-rich development makes the problem worse.
> People who make money off having good athletes in universities regardless of their education levels?

You mean the type of people that pay college football coaches as much as ~$5M+/year? (http://www.businessinsider.com/the-25-highest-paid-coaches-i...) No, I cannot imagine one of these fine institutions benefiting from valuing athletics above academics. Surely college sports is all about education.

Writing a Compiler in transit
As I get older and more aware I see rampant misogyny popping up wherever a woman challenges pretty much anything, and often merely for just existing. For something highly emotional like sports, such a reaction seems perfectly in line with what I see day to day, sadly. It's probably nobody with any power of even making any money off sports, quite the opposite, I'm sure.

I'd like to jump in with a little R here- it not all that difficult in "that" either!

open(con <- file('text.txt'))

text = readLines(con, n= -1L) # n is number of lines to read, -1L means read all of it

words = strsplit(text,split = " ")

counts = table(unlist(words))

I put this in because the good thing about R is that it provides functions for many such mathematical operations. And along with this, I'll say something any self-respecting pythoner will know- Less is better than more.

Actually, quite sensible.

One of the problems of immersive VR is that you need very high precision near the fovea ( = at the point of screen you are looking at), and you need to render very fast at the edges of vision. This means that you need to render at a very high resolution and at a very high frame rate. This is, of course, a problem.

However, while the vision at the fovea is very sharp, it is also very slow, and while the vision at the edges is very fast, it is very blurry and imprecise. With eye tracking, this is exploitable. The practice is called foveated rendering, and the idea is to only draw full precision near the position of the screen you are actually looking at, and elsewhere render at a much reduced resolution but at a higher frame rate.

In tests, this has been found to be impossible to distinguish from just drawing the full screen at full resolution and speed.

Well, I wasn't trying to debate your point, but if you insist on being huffy,

Skyscrapers generally don't have windows that can be opened or easily broken, and very rarely have balconies. When's the last time you heard of someone going through a skyscraper window? It's a safety net.

We probably couldn't string safety nets under all bridges. However, we have already been fencing them off to prevent jumpers.

I'm not clear on why you are targeting convertibles specifically; I'm unaware of any special danger they pose. However, I would argue that banning cars entirely would raise our quality of life, if combined with other measures.

I'll concede the river one since there are too many possibilities there to argue exhaustively.

I could prevaricate on the swimming pool thing, since my parents own one and our quality of life probably would be better off without it, but not worth it.

I'm not clear on enough building codes to know how much we discourage fireplaces, but most new buildings don't seem to be built with them. We appear to have invented central heating over the last several decades, which is both safer and more effective.

The point being that the reason we don't implement a lot of "safety" measures is not because they "degrade the quality of our lives" but because they don't work. In fact, most of the so-called safety measures you luridly imagine actually should be done because they'd increase the quality of our lives... so really, the question is why we haven't done them, if QoL is such an important factor.
Very clean. 1 small change to make it count of frequencies-

> It's the same with your $200k debt per US citizen number.

Not really: in a progressive system, one's share of that debt when net worth is considered is probably more like $20k, thanks to wealth disparity. And again, given equitable spending per citizen (regardless of taxes paid), they really do have about $160k per citizen in that investment fund.
Why would this be better than playing real life paintball or laser tag?
The real factor is pixels per degree of your vision, not ppi. Viewing distance range with phones and laptops is pretty limited (an arm's length), but with a monitor you can simply move it farther away on the desk to increase the perceived pixel density.

Of course, moving the monitor farther away also makes the perceived monitor size smaller. since PPI and distance can be traded one for the other, what ends up mattering is the total resolution. 4k is a lot of pixels.

Two special display input cables (DMS-59). IBM T221. I have one. It's... hard. The max I could drive it was on 25Hz -- two 1920x2400@25Hz panes besides each other. Watching a movie on it was a weird experience so I set it aside. If someone has 4 DVI outputs, you could drive it surely at 41Hz which would make a huge difference ( the monitor is up for sale :) ).

Restricting the set of attacks you're interested in preventing to the one somebody posted an article about is not a good security posture.

FDE is useful in case e.g. your laptop is stolen. And it's better than nothing against a local attacker who is trying to install a rootkit like this, but if that's the attack you're worried about then it's just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Worry more about preventing physical access by the attacker than what you can do after you've already lost.
Aljazeera America is the best source of a lot of regular non-sensational news stuff now-a-days. CNN is busy reporting on Twitter. MSNBC is only pundits now. And Fox News would probably label this "Spillghazi" they're so far off the deep end.
The article lists the "ideal size" for monitors at 50 inches, and the one for TVs at 100+ inches!

While I'm sure it's great to have such massive screen real estate (I wanna get a 4K in 2014 too), I can't but help think this is the programmer equivalent of consumers buying needlessly large TVs.

I work on a 24" desktop monitor and a 14" laptop one. How is 50" the "ideal size"? Even 39"? At what point does the law of diminishing returns kick in? Sure, it's great to gave 7 windows side-by-side, but is it that much of a productivity jump from, say, 4 windows or 5 windows?

Personally and subjectively, I'd draw the line somewhere around the 28-32" screen size.

To sum up, the core argument here seems to be that upgrading to a 39" or 50" monitor is great because (a) it's cheap, and (b) more is always and infinitely better.
I believe the 4K displays are merely presenting themselves as if they were two displays glued together -- do you have a source that says it is actually two glasses??
Decoy is unnecessarily pejorative here. This is known as price anchoring. Anchoring is an influence tactic based on human psychological bias.

Did Dubai ever have much oil wealth on its own? Dubai is also an overbuilt mess right now, a city can only support so many 7 star hotels (whose guests are mostly rich from oil anyways coming to Dubai to play).

Is Abu Dhabi oil owned by the citizens, or by the royal family like in Saudi? Later down the line, that will be quite an important distinction.

That's absolutely okay with us.

Though the developers at WebMD team may not be very happy if every piece of data is stored in a compressed BLOB. For each record lookup, you'll have to retrieve the entire compressed binary object, decompress it, find the record you need from some kind of a data structure. And if you are updating a record, you'll have to do all that, plus send the compressed binary object back. Performance might be an issue :)

All kidding aside, our system is optimized for fast lookup of secure data. For a site as popular as WebMD, our JSON Store really is the way to go.

I don't disagree with you on that point, football culture can absolutely be toxic, and Penn State is a perfect example of how it can go wrong.
