To counter that: what difference does it make? Are users going to abandon this service because the Android app does not conform to UI norms? T-Mobile are going to start caring about this when they have an incentive to spend the time and money on it. So far that doesn't seem to be the case.

I'm the last person to defend Apple but their App Store review process will often reject an app like the one you describe. Google won't. So people develop better apps for iOS because they have to.
Heh did anyone else take like 14 rounds to figure out that you're supposed to go through hole(s) in the shape and not around it...?

[nod] Yep, sadly, there are too many "calculus" courses that don't mention epsilon and delta at all (I'm looking at you, Business Calc). Without thinking about epsilon and delta, it's prettymuch impossible to have anything but a vague, fuzzy notion of what a limit is.

In Calc I, I kept my eyes out for two groups of students: those who did really poorly on the first exam, and those who did really well. The first I watched for obvious reasons, but some of the folks in the latter group--especially those who took some calculus in high school--would start to think "Oh, I know all of this now! Cool. Easy A." and then coast. And they'd be mincemeat somewhere in between implicit differentiation and related rates.
My concern isn't the hardcoded buffer size.

(If it's still not clear: I, and I suspect others, don't appreciate being insulted and threatened. Even in code comments. Even if it's meant "in jest".)

So, I'd really love some feedback on this project. The premise is that there is a certain amount of value in knowing that an image you are using won't end up all over the place. But traditional rights-managed photos end up costing a ton of money.

We are hoping to find the sweet spot in between mass sales of royalty free images and high cost of a completely exclusive license.

What do you think of the price and how much value would you put on the limited sales? Would 10 sales at $50 an image be more appealing. Would an option to "buy out" all the licenses be useful.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm really curious to know what you guys think. Thanks.
Their domain, t-mobilemoneyservices.com, drives me nuts. Why not use money.t-mobile.com?

Seems like some of the smartest people I know about are now working on VR or AR tech: John Carmack at Oculus, Jeri Ellsworth at CastAR, Steve Mann at Meta, Michael Abrash at Valve, and even the Google X team working on Glass (if you consider that AR). If VR or AR tech doesn't catch on this decade, it certainly won't be due to the effort put into making it happen.

I wonder if the world of VR circa 2018 will be a bit like the state of mobile dev in 2008. It makes me think there will be a huge demand for 3D artists and programmers as companies suddenly decide they need their own VR experience, as they did with mobile apps 6 or 7 years ago. If so, now might be a good time to start getting some experience with 3D design and development.
It's a pretty damning indictment for anyone who thought, even briefly, about exactly how that would work. How exactly will someone and their family have a place to live, in the same neighborhood? Will someone be responsible for ensuring that population doesn't grow too much? And will someone else be responsible for deciding how long "a long time" is, or what happens after said time passes? I mean, of course it would be fantastic if nice shit just fell out of the sky and could be had merely by bending down to pick it up off the ground – but that's an infantile hope and it's stupid to expect it.

It seems the definition of math, as defined by programmers, is a moving target. I cannot imagine programming even the most basic of systems without basic algebra and arithmetic, but since everyone knows how to do that, it isn't considered math. Math is what is always beyond what you currently understand.
I wonder how the trello approach of building more complete DOM elements in backbone prior to insertion, to avoid layout thrashing, would compare to using requestAnimationFrame batching? It seems like RAF might allow the browser to see all those DOM "thrashes" as a single render and not try to render them separately, thus speeding them up.

I'm just getting started with using RAF for some JS animations I want to be very high performance, but haven't seen what impact it would have on something as large as a huge trello board.

RAF performance may also be more variable between browsers than simply reducing layout thrashing. At this point though I'm speculating. Would be good if someone more knowledgable would do a comparison.
I'm puzzled by this reporting on these protests, especially the violent ones. I have yet to read someone condemning them and demanding they be arrested.
Looking at your comment history, that's no evidence of a Dogecoin brigade. The combination of meta-discussion + accusatory hostility usually garners downvotes.
Not yet. Cryptsy, at the very least, are working on a DOGE/USD market; I know there are other exchanges doing the same, but I forget which.
not op but I'd venture to guess after effects/flash for the 2d bits (it's what I'd use). It'll be impossible to tell without the creator though, there's loads of software for animating 2d graphics.
After spending countless hours optimizing HTML5 mobile apps, I find that DOM size and DOM reflow are usually the main issues.

What do you folks using password managers/archives do for access from other machines that don't have the password tool and database? Cloud-based password storage (either in a Dropbox-like service or built in with the password manager) doesn't feel kosher. This is what's stopped me from adopting a password manager so far - I want to always have access to things like my webmail and forum accounts from any internet client without a dependency on a stored database.
Just give more money to you government and it will hire more people to do the jobs that currently it thinks it can do without. Like keeping government buildings spotless.

So the only thing you need to do to realize the idea of Basic Job as you see it is give more money to your government. Pay more taxes. Vote for people that want to raise taxes. Government will gladly use your money to hire people at minimum wage to do the jobs that have value lower than minimum wage. Or just move to Sweden.

Of course other people will say that government pays to much for cleaning parks and government buildings and filling in potholes. That it's not done as efficiently as it should be. And they will also be right. After all, why invest in labor saving technology such as cleaning machines if half of the point why this cleaning job exists is to have an excuse to give money to the person that can't find a job that has value higher than minimum wage.
No, translateZ just makes it a composited layer. Hardware comes much later in the pipeline and possibly in another process.

The content of the layer isn't hardware rendered. It's rendered by the CPU and uploaded to a texture. In WebKit and probably Blink there's a fast path for images, canvas and video so that they can be directly uploaded or (on some platforms like Mac) bound to a texture avoiding an upload copy.

Microsoft and (maybe) Mozilla have a "hardware rendering" path via Direct2D, but Chrome and WebKit don't, they have compositors which can use the graphics hardware to perform compositing, but not rendering.
> With Pope Francis reviewing and moderating a lot of traditional doctrine, and with a large group of those within the church opposed to it (particularity those from the first world), I could see this edict being "modified" going forward

There are many "liberal Catholics" in the world, and organizations dedicated to "modernizing" Catholic doctrine. They're pushing and hoping for things like ordaining women as priests, allowing abortions, gay marriage, etc. [1]

But they'll never succeed. Doctrines can't be changed because they're inherently immutable. [2] So by definition it's impossible.

Yes, there will always be polls trying to demonstrate that doctrinal change is possible given a strong enough public voice [3], but this is and will always be impossible. All those polls do (and I would argue are meant to do) are make people think they're on the right track with their dissent, and that it's not really apostasy, just a harmless opinion.

I think you're conflating firewalls and NAT. The idea of "internal" and "external" networks still apply in a non-NAT environment but what takes some getting used to is that with full end-to-end connectivity, you're back to an implicit "default-allow" policy where NAT created an implicit "default deny". The answer is to have a default deny firewall rule on your border router (your home gateway appliance), and then allow services as needed.
I think that's purposefully way too literal an interpretation. It's clear to me that that's not to be taken as a literal statement but rather figurative contrasting himself with his fiancee who is more lithe, in spirit, if not physically.

The obvious answer is "yes", but asking a question you don't expect a response from is silly. Why not just say "Send us enough Bitcoin and we'll add Bitcoin payments to our framework." and then take action if you get enough sent in?

That way, there's no leading question, and you communicate exactly what it is that you want from us.
Unsurprisingly, this has been done.

Does anyone do time based dithering to increase color depth? If a monitor can only control color to 8-bits, but has 10 or more bits of color data coming in, it could shift the pixel rapidly between the desired colors. I'm not sure if our eyes would be able to see a rapid 1 color step change in any single pixel, and it should break up the color banding that we can see.

Is this technique used anywhere?

Yeah you can tell that that those are facts, because it says so right there in the domain name.

Wow, you're adding a lot to this discussion.
There is no "positive" or "negative" mass. They are both virtual. Their sum-total energy is zero.

Virtual pairs appear and disappear all the time. They are like water boiling in a pot making foam; there are virtual "bubbles" everywhere around you. As long as they disappear back into nothingness, everything about them is virtual.

It's only that the event horizon throws a snag into the mechanism, and swallows up one of the particles, thereby preventing recombination. The only way for that to happen is that if the other particle gets promoted from virtual to real. The only way that could happen is if the black hole itself provides the required energy to make that particle real.

Again, the BH does not pick "positive" vs "negative" mass. It just swallows up one random member of a virtual pair. The other member, left alone, cannot recombine; it sucks up some energy from the BH's gravitational field and becomes a real particle, with positive energy and mass.

To sum it up, it's the virtual pair "foam" that slowly sucks up energy from the BH.
I was going to say, it sounds like Eve. Except Eve isn't at all boring if you get deep into it, as in invested with a group in wars in 0-security space. Eve is one of those games that is lots of mundanity punctuated by sheer terror. I can easily believe that people who've played Eve have had (very mild) cases of PTSD.
That was in Doom 3, to get the surface normals. That piece of code is also a hack since it breaks certain rules of c language.
Thanks for the advice, but the company in question did a lot of work in the networking field, so it is highly unlikely that the poor performance was caused by either a lack of competence on the part of their sysadmins or simple oversights like not updating drivers. Various third party software running on the Windows 7 machines seemed to achieve the expected throughput just fine too, so the finger was definitely pointing to something in Windows being the culprit.

(Really obvious example: An rsync-based tool used to copy files to a central server prior to backing up would do so at roughly the expected speed from all of the Win7 PCs, but dragging and dropping the same files between the same machines in Windows Explorer would take an order of magnitude longer. Just to be clear, I'm talking about testing with new files where rsync would also have to transfer them in their entirety here, not a speed up because of the rsync algorithm itself.)

I've read it, claim 1 is, in plain English, ”auto-complete on a touchscreen keyboard". All the extra detail they provide adds on to that, to provide defense in depth, but they're claiming the whole enchilada too, just in case they get away with it, because there's no real downside for them to do something so immoral. (You might think that's inflammatory language, but Apple itself talks about theft of IP, yet they'll happily try to steal this from me and you)

You mean like Java does since ... forever?
"We intend to prevent you and your family from leaving your home" - by what means do these protestors feel acceptable? Verbal? Staring intimidatingly? Pushing his wife back as she crosses the property line? Punching his child? Drawing guns?

When you explicitly state, and act, with the intention to prevent people from leaving their own home, effectively placing them in a state of house arrest, then sorry, your protest is no longer any more peaceful than the force implied by that house arrest.

Hiding behind "raising awareness in the neighborhood" is a disingenuous sham that exposes a duplicity. What relevance has "representative parliamentary democracy" to your argument other than to make you feel martyred?

Remember, you are actively threatening a family that you will not let them leave their home, there is a distinct, and real, fear of how far you will go to do so. For all your "blocking busses, and breaking one window" (carefully emphasized to minimize), there's the Seattle WTO protests and everything in between, and a distinct set of people who -will- resort to violence that constitutes a non-zero threat to this man and his family's well being that you wave away as nothing.

At least have the courage of your convictions and stop pretending it's just some people "raising awareness".

Agreed.

Even beside violent comments, avoid disrespectful comments in general. If you wouldn't say it in person to someone who's working on the project with you, don't say it in a comment.

A friend of mine calls this "The Horror". It is in the very application of Marxism that the whole thing falls to pieces. I think Marx was great at analysis, however he didn't understand work or the layers of design and engineering that lies behind the means of production. Also, he was a theorist whose ideas got applied while he was still tinkering with them and pretty much all of his ideas of how to solve the problems he had identified were pretty terrible. The economic questions he posed however, have still not been satisfactorily answered.
I'm puzzled for other reasons, but as far as I know, protesting in public areas is a well-defended US constitutional right. Violence or other illegal acts should clearly be prosecuted, if there's sufficient evidence to determine who did what.

One thing strikes me as particularly short-sighted. This is the person working on getting rid of the most dangerous component of driving - drivers. While yes, there will be impact to jobs and the auto-industry to some extent, but my personal take on this, is the loss will be much less compared to the gain.

Airplanes are an interesting example, as they can basically fly themselves by most part, and pilots are often just baby-sitting the machine. Of course the draw back is when the machine fails, they often don't have enough training to properly react, but that's for another day. If one draws similar parallel, this would indicate that trucking would not be wiped out completely as a profession, but will change into supervising the self-driving truck. Likely, enabling greater loads, faster delivery and therefore setting economics for better pay. (One would hope at least.)

The creep-factor of this flier really strikes me as a restraining order-worthy. Since they know where he lives, such a order becomes a viable option. I personally don't buy the "peaceful" protest part with this much hatred put on paper.

It doesn't sound like the protestors were violent in this case. All they did was distribute leaflets outside someone's home. Obviously it was not a lot of fun for the engineer who was targeted.
This isn't protesting. This is a coordinated group singling out an individual for the purpose of intimidation and harassment. This is bullying, and does nothing to add to any constructive discourse of affordable housing.
My objections come from supporting the platform as a whole, not T-Mobile's bottom line. As more popular apps abandon official design guidelines in favor of custom UI that doesn't work, it makes using the platform an inconsistent and jarring experience, and that hurts the platform as a whole.

Really, I'm surprised that T-Mobile doesn't get this, as their business relies in part on selling this platform to customers.

Google could do more, yes, but doing so would erode the relative openness of Play Store app submissions. They provide the tools and the guidelines, and that should be good enough. I can't think of any other platform where a straight port of another platform's UI is a standard or acceptable practice.
