Mobile Operators Demanding A Cut From Chat Apps
Thanks for the link. I was under the impression that functionality required root. Unfortunately, the Play store says that app isn't compatible with my device. Perhaps it's because I'm using Android 4.4, while that app's description mentions 4.3.
So what happens if someone puts CP into the block chain and publishes the instructions to retrieve after two months?
Am I the only one who see this working backwards? If I move towards 2007 everything gets more detailed.
I don't think so, I think they are only looking at balancing the supply side (making calculations using the demand patterns from 2005/06), demand-management is then another possibility that goes on top of that.
The interesting part here is that this in on a mobile SoC, not a desktop GPU.

> It wasn't too long ago that 320x240 was a pretty normal resolution.

Maybe for games and such, but not for desktop use. The Mac came out in 1984 with a resolution of 512×342, which was 30 years ago.

When Windows 3.0/3.1 came out, 640x480-ish was the new standard, and that was the very early 1990's.
Very nice! Is there software available I can use, or do I have to implement the algorithms from the paper myself?

I make a lot of 4K hyperlapse movies, it is tedious as AfterEffect's warp stabilizer is useful only in a small fraction of cases, Deshaker is more consistent but also not perfect, and the only option in the end is multi-pass manual tracking and stabilizing which is very time consuming and tricky for long panning shots.
> * “Record audio with the microphone … at any time without your confirmation”

There's no way in Android to record audio with the microphone at only certain times with your confirmation. Facebook needs microphone access for video and voice calling.

> * Take videos and photos using the camera

The Facebook app lets you take photos and videos to post on your feed. How else would they be able to do that without camera access?

I can't speak for the other two (I use iOS myself) but Androids permissions are generally way too broad (stuff like to be able to pause music when the user is making a call you have to ask for access to their phone number and the phone numbers of everyone calling them) and users have to accept the kitchen sink. The "Facebook spying" stuff is an Android bug, not Facebook.
I call hypocrisy - convincing folks there is no 'free will' has got to be the ultimate in fooling oneself!
Correct. The solution is usually that they'll just create special functions for doing numeric comparisons, that accept an adjustable epsilon margin of error, to use instead of the built-in numeric comparison functions.

There're a lot of silly myths about investment software on hacker news / reddit. Truth is that the code is usually much more hastily written, but with more tests or redundant systems implemented to cross validate results.

The idea that precise decimal types will be used throughout the systems is a bit silly. All the data typically will be going though off the shelf machine learning models, all of which just used plain floating types.
On the 65K methods restriction, how many lines of code per method do these projects have on average? That just seems like a lot of code. Is this a result of the Java acessor-and-mutator-methods-for-everything approach?

For reference, Tomcat and Maven are both 1M lines of code (would be ~15 lines of code per method @ 65K methods). Lucene is <500K.

Why are some developers so enamored with tables and making ever more table-generation libraries. They are one of the worst ways to display information in a readable way. Outside of spreadsheet computing and source data, they have limited use. Tables should almost certainly never make it to an end-user UI.

It's amazing how easy it is to improve these maps. I just searched for my small town, created an account and started editing. Added a few alleys/shortcuts and about half a dozen POI's in 5 minutes.

What is the best way to use OSM on mobile, specifically iPhone? I remember trying some apps before but I didn't like them. Is there anything as polished as the Apple/Google apps?
Zoom in on Artis (the Amsterdam Zoo), or the various parks. The amount of detail is staggering!
The page now at least comes with a warning from google when I try to enter. I think in the future I will report it there too as that might be one of the methods that will help others the fastest.

Yes, Flash has some cool functionality in it, but by not being an open standard, it also held the web back because third parties could not implement it and Adobe's development model did not scale.

While Apple refusing to embed Flash on iOS is what killed it, truth be told at that time Adobe wasn't capable of delivering a mobile version that worked well, as they lacked the resources for it, just how they lack the resources to deliver a supported and polished Linux / NPAPI version, which was dropped. The version that was bundled with Android, with all due respect, was horrible. Flash only worked well due to the Windows monopoly, but the approach eventually broke down due to mobile devices.

HTML5 may not be so evolved, but at least it works on my Android in both Chrome and Firefox, it works on my MacBook, it works on my Ubuntu Linux, it works on my Windows Phone that I keep around as a paper holder and it works on my iPad. And if portability and instant updates and everything else that makes the browser great are not that important, then you're better off going native.
Children are like making pancakes. You totally ruin the first one; the 2nd is almost right; 3rd one - perfect.

It will probably be the device of the year simply because it's the first truly new iPhone design in 2 years. Apple updates their overall design every couple years, and on the off years it's mostly a spec bump.

So, in a way, it's a bit of a rethinking of the iPhone every other year. That's a big deal in itself.
tldr; "It will be the device of the year, because Apple. I don't know enough details to give any better reason, but hey, it's Apple".

I used to think this was a non issue. 65k methods is a lot right? Well I ran into the 65k method limit with my one developer game I'm working on. Can't remember if it while i was using gradle or maven(recent switched) but it would print out all the methods for each package. Method counts add up quick when you are importing libraries. For example google guice by it self(if memory servers me) had ~6k methods. Thats one library. Starting adding different Apache libraries and its possible. Granted the majority of these get stripped out by Proguard, but having to run proguard for every build is a major pain. I have since refactored and am now well under the limit, but this issue is a lot more prevalent then i thought.
I'm rather surprised that even North Korea is mapped quite extensively in OSM.(https://mvexel.github.io/thenandnow/#14/38.9911/125.7365).

For a long time, North Korea was shown as a featureless area in google maps.

Since the carcinogenic effect of asbestos is mostly caused by it's physical properties[1]; anything that resembles the shape of asbestos' micro-particles is also highly suspected to be carcinogenic.

The shape, size,
and adsorbing nature of the fibers also appear to be critically important. Recently, doubts have
arisen concerning the safety of commercially available carbon nanotubes,[2] which may possess
the same carcinogenicity as asbestos fibers because of their similar characteristics. Ample care
has to be taken to prevent a tragedy similar to the one caused by asbestos exposure.[1]

Formula 1 and other open wheel racing drivers have been exposed to carbon fiber dust (from the carbon-carbon brakes) for a few decades now. There is some research going on with former racing drivers.

E.g. former F1 driver Mika Salo underwent surgery where his lungs were examined to assess the effects of repeated exposure to burned carbon fiber dust (this was several years ago). Unfortunately, I do not have any links to sources nor do I know the results of the research.

Another big question mark is the health and environmental effects of graphene. There is a lot of research going on in applications of graphene but only now there have been research projects into possible negative effects on the environment.

The info page provides an overview of why this is significant:

There is also a live demo on the preview page:

http://input.fontbureau.com/preview/

Basically it is a family of fonts (sans, serif, and mono) all designed for code. The creator included features from monospace programming fonts (prominent punctuation, distinct shapes on easily confused letters, etc) on all styles. There is also a high degree of customizability from the wide range of weights and alternate characters available.

Overall a quite impressive project. I highly recommend spending some time with the interactive demo.
Beware of huge cache directories.
So, let me get this straight:

It's going to have a larger screen. It'll have an improved scratch resistant screen. It'll have an improved camera. It _might_ have NFC.

And this qualifies as "device of the year"? Am I missing something, because that article smells of cheap advertising for some small financial gain.

Maps.me is pretty good.
It's sold and presented as an engineering tool. Why does something simple that only the developers are supposed to see need UI chrome bloat on top of it?

>ImGui is designed to allow programmers to create "content creation" or "debug" tools (as opposed to tools for the average end-user). It favors simplicity and thus lacks certain features normally found in more high-level libraries, such as string localisation.
That's true, but 1366x768 makes it difficult to achieve this, even when running a tiling WM full screen!

It is perfectly possible to do so, but it would be quite expensive to do so. It is easy to embed ASCII data (some 40-80 bytes) in one transaction, but that's it. To embed an image, requiring at least few kilobytes of binary data, you would need to pay a significant amount of fees.
I do not know who told you that, but MS are pretty clear on what you can and cannot:

Internal use licenses are for use in a production environment for general internal
business purposes and not for any type of commercial purpose. For example, installing
the Windows Server operating system and Microsoft Exchange Server to set up an email
system that you can use to send business-related email is acceptable. However,
production use for external commercial purposes, such as hosting a commercial website,
is outside the scope of these rights.

Customer demonstration licenses can be used for demonstration purposes only by partners.
Sales and marketing employees of the organization can use this software to showcase
products to your customers, but demonstration products cannot be installed on customer
hardware or infrastructure and must be used with partner supervision.

Internal-training licenses can be used for training internal employees only. These
licenses cannot be used for customer training or for any commercial purpose.

MSDN subscriptions allow designated employees of your organization to use the available
software for the design, development, testing, and demonstration phases of application
development.
While I certainly believe you, I'd still love to see a reference for my own curiosity.
> Again, it's a zero-sum thinking error to assume that there's some fixed number of jobs and therefore more people equals lower pay.

I'm not stating the "more people" == "less pay". I'm stating that foreign workers are willing get paid less money, regardless of what the job pool is. They have fewer options available to them, so they accept "worse" pay for what maybe essentially the same job.

Also, the amount of jobs that are available at any point in time is fixed. Jobs are created when a company has a need to fill. Jobs aren't created just because there is an excess supply of unemployed people. They don't spring into existence out of nowhere.

Do companies create more positions just to accommodate the influx of foreign workers? Or do the amount of jobs stay the same regardless?
This is nice and neat. Thanks for sharing!
Are you assuming BrainInAJar is a man and the mentioned spouse is his wife, and not vice versa?
Or because OpenGL is a relatively high-level API, and most console game developers don't want or need a high-level API that abstracts the underlying hardware, because every PS4 in the wild has the exact same hardware, so you can write two versions of the code and support every PS4 and Xbox One in existence with better performance than if you used OpenGL to write one version of the same code for both.

I found the code itself to be beautiful, as well.
The network is not reliable, but usually the cost of manually fixing problems arising from infrequent types of instability is less than the cost of pre-emptively addressing the issue.

As a practical example, our preferred HA solution for MySQL replication has effectively no network partition safety - if a network becomes partitioned, we'll end up with split brain. However, we have not once had to deal with this specific problem in our years of operation on hundreds of servers.

That said, do make the assumption that your AWS instances will be unable to reach each other for 10+ seconds on a frequent basis. Your life will be happier if you've already planned for that.

I also wanted to chime in that I really don't think product quality is the main reason Google TV flopped. I have a Google TV because I got it for free and have been a big fan of it after extensive Apple TV usage.

I don't see the big deal about having more buttons on your TV remote. For actions like search, settings, rewind, typing, and more, the Google TV has a dedicated button while on Apple TV you have to click around a few times to get to the action. BTW, to do that you have to use 4 directional buttons not mentioned in the article. Wanna change the TV volume or turn it on/off with Apple TV? You'll need to keep your horrific TV remote around.

I think Google just isn't that good at marketing consumer hardware and thus no one even really knows about Google TV. Only techies seem to even know that there is/was a Google TV. Nowadays, GTV sucks because there isn't enough market share to entice app updates for things like Hulu, HBO Go, etc.

On Windows or Mac this may be true, but with Linux the GTK or Qt libraries are not part of the OS, but are used in desktop environments which may or may not be installed, and there are different version etc. so things are more messy and it's definitely a dependency which has to be fulfilled (at least at runtime).
I do find even outside-the-standard CL libraries somewhat more portable than Scheme libraries. Varies by library, but CL library authors seem to make more of an effort to test on multiple implementations, using conditional compilation where necessary. It's semi-standard to use a compatibility layer for extensions, e.g. use Bordeaux-Threads rather than directly using sb-thread. Whereas Scheme programming style (at least in the Chicken and Racket ecosystems, the two I've used) seems to make more direct use of implementation-specific functions and comes with less expectation that any nontrivial program will run on another implementation without porting.

At least that's the case in the newer "open" CL world; older CL code, especially commercial code, more often did target a specific implementation like Franz, which is more like the Scheme approach.
Sure, others aren't any better. So Valve has a good chance to give them all a kick. Will they succeed? I hope they will. Strong competition can force current consoles makers to support OpenGL, same as happened with WebGL and IE.

Creating a simple Tasklist App with Oracle APEX
I had some "memory leak" issues a few months ago with the api hosts of the service I'm working on. As the code changes made during the days before didn't seem to have affected anything that could be related to this leak I realized it was something about the requests we were receiving but I wasn't able to replicate the same issues in my dev host nor in staging.
Eventually I dumped the memory of a running process using Pyrasite and after hacking a little bit with meliae (https://launchpad.net/meliae) I was able to find the issue and solve it.

Very useful.

By the way is worth noticing that you won't probably be able to attach the interactive console to a running web server as the output is usually handled by the supervisor process, at least I wasn't able to do that in my first tentative and the memory dump was good enough for me.

Check this sample to dump the memory out of a running process: http://pyrasite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Payloads.html#dump...

If I recall correctly, creating carbon fiber involves burning a material. The fibers, even in their raw state, resemble asbestos. The saving grace is that they are typically cast in resin, so to get the asbestos-like fibers back, you have to burn off the resins binding them together.
