You just confused Eugenics with Euthanasia which are completely different things.

Eugenics is reproductive control on a very high level, and may go even as far as governmental control on procreation.

Aside the ethical problems with Eugenics there's also a problem raising from simple statistics: In which way shall it be decided who may procreate with whom and who not? Any kind of biased selection eventually leads to a drop in genetic diversity. However the smaller the genetic diversity the higher the chance for illnesses and defects to spread within the population. So if the ultimate goal is genetic diversity the only sound selection would be to make as much mix-and-matches as possible.

Interestingly enough mitochondrial transplantation adds a little to genetic diversity, because it dissolves the meiosis relationship between female nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA.
Up until 6 months ago, I used a flip-phone because I didn't want the distractions that I noticed with friends (constantly checking Facebook, Twitter, etc.)

I finally gave in when I moved and would constantly get lost (I needed maps).

I really like this article, but I see opportunity in short digital breaks. The truth is that the majority of people won't delete infinity apps. They don't have the self-control to do it.

That's why I'm building an app (Android-only) to temporarily disable distracting apps.

So if I download to Pocket does Pocket also play them back like an audiobook type thing? I've looked at the Pocket website and it's about saving for reading later, doesn't say anything about listening? I'd love to be able to save stuff to listen to in the car for example...
Quite an interesting list! Some of them are so absurdly specific it just cracked me up. It's insane how obsessed we are with our phones and connecting them to our daily lives at every moment. Hell, there's even apps for when we sleep!
The password list for this particular implementation is pretty limited. I doubt all the celebs hacked had a password on that list. The concept may well have been used with different code / pw dictionary.
Interesting to note that you started this reply with "I think." Would it have carried more weight if you started with "perhaps" instead, or stripped it altogether? Maybe. Either way it's fun to think about.
Yes! We love this idea too! Leveling up will definitely be an aspect of gameplay! We're thinking players will have different "mana bars" for each kind of magic (earth, fire, water, air, life). Then, they can level up their different kinds of magic to become more powerful (more mana available).

This becomes unmanageable once you need to do that for multiple applications. Different applications need different versions. I'm not that familiar with Ruby, but you can imagine different versions of Ruby itself needing different versions of system libraries. An upgrade of your OS could become incompatible with the Ruby version you just compiled yourself.

It's good that some people are looking for solutions to this problem. It's a worthwhile effort, even though it might not be directly applicable to everyone. Same was true for Systemd a number of years ago.
I suppose you could see it like that although I don't see the use of it. Why not just have straight-forward commands like `guix install` `guix uninstall` `guix search` `guix update`
How do you come up with 11 MB?

Even the whole library jar file which is much more than just the runtime is only 5.5 MB.

But even then it doesn't matter anyway. Android apps are ProGuarded before deployment (regardless of the language used) and the overhead in Sclaa's case is a few dozen kBs.

I've had opportunity to play with it (at work), but given the price, not a likely choice for my hobby projects. It's not without its drawbacks, either. Since it's not native development (for Android), we 'e adding more moving parts into the equation.

And, for instance, most of the sample apps for Xamarin.Forms wouldn't even build when I tested Xamarin.

I had to fix folder paths (to Android SDK) manually.

The product is superb, but Android is under rapid development and Xamarin folks will always have to play catch up with them.

And in meantime, weird things - all sorts of incompatibilities - are bound to be popping out.

Thank you!! We're using Blockly, which is essentially an open-source version of the Scratch language!
I'm saying the same thing you said. The hypothesis in the comment I was replying to is that speaking with fewer of the noted words is a skilled learned as part of reaching higher status, presumably because speaking that way allows you to better wield your station.

That isn't shown in the evidence, because the evidence in the article shows that the speech used is indeed relative.
VMware goes deeper on OpenStack
Well that pretty much is what happens. JetBrains wrote IDEA and the Android support for it. Google made some small modifications (some good, some detrimental), and packaged it with the Android SDK.

The biggest change was to switch to gradle which is a more powerful build system but also much buggier (at least in the current Android Studio). They also lots of useful Android-related tools and lints, and a fair helping of UI bugs.

Still, beats Eclipse by a country mile.
I'm perfectly ok to have an English only product with a 30% discount, but I can't find the option.

Probably hellbanning would have been a better idea than outright banning in the first place.
Signal processing in javascript maybe, but webGL is a hardware accelerated native code module, so it can be fast.

WebGL systems are actually very promising for a number of computationally intensive areas, such as medical imaging:

As far as I see the Ada Doom project is able to do more in less lines of code despite it being verbose (see https://github.com/AdaDoom3/AdaDoom3/blob/master/FOSDEM%20Pr...). For readability, clearly your argument is subjective. Its like saying English doesn't make any sense because it is nothing like Chinese which everyone knows
I can't remember anymore what I tried and what I didn't :) At the end, I mostly tried not to bang my head against the wall.

Anyway, even your second link stresses: "The primary IDE recommendation is IntelliJ, not Android Studio nor Eclipse". My IDE of choice is Android Studio, and it not being particularly recommended is a red light to me already. Maybe I'm just traumatized.

I'm surely lazy. I wish Google made Scala support for Android official and integrated it seamlessly.

I think it would be loss of authenticity, and I am sure Apple can afford to pay more than could pay himself at Anandtech. At the very least, he no longer has to worry that his paycheck might ever bounce. The concept of "selling out" has always been a murky and subjective one, and it usually has as much to do with the values of the observer as the actions of the subject. But in a case where someone had been arguably on the side of the consumer for many years and presumably turning down lucrative offers in order to tell the unbiased truth, and then suddenly accepts one of those offers, well, it looks sort of like selling out.

Now, I'd be a hypocrite if I tried to make that case myself, because I stopped reading Anandtech a couple years ago, and I couldn't with a straight face demand that Anand care more about it than I do. I stopped largely because the news got dull and repetitive once 1) Intel decisively won the CPU war, and 2) the GPU market became a permanent stalemate between AMD and nVidia (plus a little bit of Intel). If Anand basically retired because there was no longer an interesting story to tell, well, I can relate to that.

Kotlin has stuff that's unlikely to appear in Java, such as reified generics - Java has already chosen type erasure generics instead. I wouldn't bet a penny that they ever change this approach if they didn't go with it from the start.
Thanks for the reply. That makes sense; my scenes are probably 100-200k, but my fragment shaders are much more complex so the depth pre-pass makes a huge difference.

I run a large community as well, and had some similar issues. Occasionally threats work if you can convince them you're willing to take legal action, and you can scare them with evidence pointing to their name or IP address.

If that doesn't work, or they're based in Egypt which is going to make legal action difficult, you might be best off to ignore them completely. They're looking for a response. They want to see you upset, they want to see you in a panic, they want to see you begging them to stop, etc. If you ignore them, and never respond or talk again, they'll likely move on with their life. They're not going to maintain a blog on you forever, that takes time, and if they're getting nothing in return, they'll stop, although it might take weeks or months.

Now, work on preventing this in the first place. I had my community hosted on the same servers as my personal projects (small startup, didn't realize it was going to grow to the current size), and this allowed people to connect the dots to my name by looking up the server IP and related sites. I'm in the process of trying to separate my personal identity from my community, and to reduce the trail leading back to me. I can't recall how many people are banned from my community, but it's in the area of 5,000. I'm surprised I haven't had more personal attacks, but it's only a matter of time, so I'm trying to separate things before it occurs again. You might want to do the same if possible.
I'd be interested to know whether desperate flight would've happened if a Chinese person fainted.
We totally agree!! Funny side note about the quote - We asked Gabe Newell (founder of Steam) if we could quote him at the beginning of our video, and he replied "Sure!" That guy must get hundreds of e-mails a day. I don't know how he finds the time to reply to them all!

The current WebGL is just the beginning. Once we get a new one with compute shaders (basically WebGL based on ES 3.1 instead of 2.0) things are really going to pick up.

Shoehorning algorithms to work as fragment shader produces a considerable performance and mental overhead compared to compute shaders.

Since you used the example of sound engineer's, I would like to expand on the point I made in my previous comment about pro tools; and also clarify that I believe sound engineer's and graphic designers are a smart bunch, and are more than capable of handling it.

I actually recently went to a studio and worked with a professional sound engineer. Most of the time, he would right click on a track, and then select from a list of filters to apply to some segment. These filters have a GUI that looks like an effects pedal with knobs etc... Having used many of these programs myself, I can assure you virtually nothing is based on fourier methods, even though this is all that these effects pedals are doing, often with large amounts of redundancy.

A curious fact is that a large majority of the popular types of effects pedals actually correspond to the most well studied convolutions, which is something I hope and plan to research more carefully and write up in a blog post one day soon.

Effects pedals for guitars were originally circuits discovered basically by chance; and it was only much later that these things were made digital. This clearly demonstrates the problem I was talking about when I said there is a "massive inertia against re-formulating the entire UI/UX for ... filtering based on the only possible unified approach"
> "here's my code, if you change it send me the changes"
