In case other people are having trouble telling what it is, it appears to be a projector over a touch sensitive white board it can project on to placed in front of the computer where the keyboard normally is. Then it can track your hands for touch input.

I scrolled through the entire landing page, tried to watch the video which got stuck at 24 seconds before revealing something, then finally managed to get some frames from later on. Really terrible marketing since they are hiding what it is, but whatever. Seems inferior to a Wacom Cintiq in every way so far (an LCD with pressure sensitive pen with buttons that graphics artists use).
Same here and I took the full tour. For some reason the camera has to go around the device to show me the touch mat and from there it goes all the way around to tell me that the display is touch screen. Why does it have to keep going around the device? beats me!
I don't know exactly which groups, but I have been told by an ex-Googler that they are used quite extensively by Google, sometimes in the form of Angular Dart. I have seen some proclaimed stats that they are used by over 120 projects by Google (I believe it was a slide from ng-conf).

I have also seen Angular on some Google pages in the wild, including the older Google Nexus pages.
I dont mind changes,frankly.That's that AtScript thing that bothers me,a lot.So basically they are developping angularjs 2.0 with a new language. But i'm not interested in AtScript, i wouldnt use angularjs if it was written in typescript/coffeescript/clojurescript whatever.Because i want to actually be able to read the source code,in js.

I think what happened is,the dev team saw React,they liked it,decided they wanted their own React,since React uses JSX which isnt javascript,and here we are.

But again,it's opensource, people will fork the framework if they feel Google is f*cking things up.
Engadget summary with videos:
http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/29/hp-reveals-sprout/

"It's a unique machine that combines an all-in-one Windows 8 PC with a set of 3D scanning cameras, a giant tactile touchpad and a downward-facing projector (for displaying graphics on said touchpad). The design is built around a concept HP is calling "blended reality" that blends the 3D physical world with our 2D digital one. The obvious target audience is creative types. You know: makers, tinkerers, designers, etc... Rather than the traditional method of control built around mice and keyboards, Sprout focuses on touch and pen input. The 23-inch LCD serves as the primary display, but it's the bottom display, the 20-inch capacitive pad positioned under the camera and projector that serves as the primary point of interaction."
So, it's a combined 23" touch screen and projection surface with touch and camera-based tracking, at a 90 degree angle to each other. With a built-in Core-i7-based computer, of course.

Pretty nifty, but also extremely specialized. Daring move!

At the time I'm writing this all posts are complaining about the presentation of the site... yes it sucks, but the product looks really cool. It appears to be a combination of a camera and projection tool allowing the user to add real objects, such as a coffee mug, to the projected image and have it added to that image. Then user can use their hands to digitally move things around and otherwise manipulate the image.

That is really cool, but I can't help but think how limited its uses are. The real-world objects need to be relatively small (like a coffee cup, not a car) and you are limited by taking pictures from the top-down angle. However, that kind of interaction is really natural and would be easier to learn than say Photoshop.
Pretty cool! I did something similar when I was learning javascript. I built GoL for a three-state system. Here's the bl.ocks.org link : http://goo.gl/H0Wqxo

Would you say the same thing if I set up an IMSI catcher at your home and geolocated the other radio beacons broadcasting from your home, or would that be creepy?

You might jump to say "stingrays are illegal so that's different" and in some ways, you'd be right. But it's also the case that the average user's expectations about how their wireless devices will be systematically located by third parties are better codified into law and policy in that case than in this one.

What an awful way to present a project. Not being able to scroll down to see the picture, I assumed that I was stuck until I made a choice regarding the PSD file. When I made the obvious choice, without being able to evaluate the product in any way, I got kicked to google.

Based entirely on the site it's "presented" on, it escapes me why anyone would buy your template, let alone sign up to a mailing list about it.
I did the same thing and also didn't understand what it was. I also can't watch the video right now.

Then I studied the images a little closer. It seems that thing on top the monitor projects an image on the mat on the desktop. The mat seems to be touch sensitive which means you're primary interface is no longer a keyboard/mouse combo but a new interface that will be unique to each application.

Sounds interesting but unless other manufacturers starting selling the same thing, I doubt it'll be widespread enough to attract a large enough group of developers to build apps for it which will probably mean it might be niche product. Still cool though.
> Desktop computing doesn't really matter that much anymore.

BWAHAHAHAHA!! Thank you. I needed that laugh.

Laptops and desktops will always be more powerful than mobile devices, therefore there will be users who want the option of having said extra power. Even if you could, say, run AAA games on a mobile device, the interface would be awful for most of them (eg FPSes).
Virtkick has a web application component, which makes the AGPL a great choice. Without the 'Affero' component, anyone could host a version of VirtKick with proprietary modifications.

Having used Closure Tools for a couple years, I often wonder that.

But it lacks a lot of magic. It's based around reusability, maintainability, and performance, and not just features. Like you said, features get blogged, maintainability gets (silently) used.
"it is an old-style replication system where there is the master IP address written in the configuration file."

"Old style" doesn't explain it. Even if the original master has unconditional priority when it returns, that does not preclude it gathering whatever data might still exist from the others. I've been working on replication systems since '92, and I can't recall seeing any that would make such a poor choice. Can you point to any, or is this really a "new style" idea?

"we can construct a reality or a model we both agree about."

I will concede that the behavior might be compliant with how the system was specified. I'm not 100% convinced yet, but at least - now - you've made a credible case for that.

"Then we can debate about what we think is right or not."

Not. The data-preserving mechanisms (e.g. view/epoch IDs) are so easy to implement in this case that leaving them out is unjustifiable. You even seem to be coming around to that view yourself when you say "in the future yes" but apparently you can't bring yourself to admit that it was always the right choice.

What's really going to be interesting is to see what CurrentC's plans are for getting onto the iPhone. Apple has a history of not allowing certain products, if they conflict with Apple's plans for monetization.

So, CurrentC might work on Android, but ... it's Android, not the iPhone, which is the one that generates the buzz in the US.

Plus, there's the whole not-actually-having-a-product thing when Apple has a product in use,

I suspect that CurrentC will wind up being a negotiating tool, more than an actual product.

Which is kind of funny, because Apple doesn't actually have to negotiate here.
If you're looking at the Internet Archive, then you should very well expect to see a lot of other "old" things besides the site itself.
> The funny thing is they could've easily written up a warrant and had it signed by a judge in the span of an hour

I think that may be part of the problem. If you start viewing warrants as rubber stamps, then you start thinking that the warrant is a foregone conclusion (and therefore just "unnecessary paperwork/bureaucratic nonsense" and an impediment to "getting things done").

It's never as fast and document search on e-readers seems to be straight word match rather than any form of intelligent indexing. If I don't recall where something is, it's almost always faster to use the book's index than it is to naively search through the doc, in my experience.
"People are making it sound like this issue has been ignored for years."

Hasn't it been? How does leaving that latent in the system for years make things better? I rather think it reflects on an inability to reason about failure modes (including user failure modes), and deal with them proactively instead of after data was lost.

I wonder what this would look like if you used the same OO structure but used a language like Python.
How much code would disappear?
All interface files would go away since Python is Duck Typed.
Most of the imports within those files would go away, etc.
I imagine perhaps 80% code reduction if you do character count instead of line count (Python lines would be much shorter)

Then I wonder what this would look like with C++. Would the code size increase because some files would now have a corresponding .hxx file as well as a .cxx file?

I heard the story on the radio this morning and believe I recall hearing that the agents only suspected certain illegal activities were taking place in the room and did not yet have enough information to actually get a warrant. This tactic was employed to enter the room, survey the environment, and gather information that they then used as the basis of a warrant. Also, they did not mention in the warrant request specifically how they obtained the information (by cutting services and entering the room via that approach).

I am not making an opinion on the matter either way, just adding context that I heard from the story.

> They're only replacing PCs to the extent that the PC had already partially replaced some of those things.

I don't know if that's entirely true. A lot of people bought PCs 10 years ago simply because that was the only way to access this new Facespace thing their kids told them about. Those users are now using tablets or mobile because it serves their needs better than a desktop did.

The reality is that a whole lot of people bought systems with way more capabilities than their use case or abilities warranted. Desktop sales are down, and for this reason I don't think they are coming back. "Real" computer users will still use real computers, everyone else is probably better served by mobile.
Exchanges do send data to both the SIP and direct data feeds at the same time. The problem is that the SIP has an intrinsic disadvantage due to the architecture and technology used that guarantee SIP market data will always be slower than direct market data.

I'm hopeful that, in time, this will be fixed. Not so much because I believe the latency induced by the flawed SIP architecture is material to SIP subscribers, but instead for 2 reasons:

1. The very same architecture that adds latency makes the SIP a SPOF in our market system and as the NASDAQ Tape C outage showed, it can really suck when the SIP doesn't work;

2. The PERCEPTION of unfairness is much more harmful than any actual harm done due to the SIP/direct latency delta. Fixing the SIP can directly correct the source of the perception of unfairness and bring some credibility to the market place and its governance.

> Part of me thinks this is a solution in want of a problem, designed by the kind of person who uses a spoon for soup and a fork for their main course and thinks "If only I had a combination fork-spoon, my life would be so much simpler".

I'm not convinced either - the demo could have been done with a smartphone app (take a picture, then allow you to manipulate objects via touchscreen).

Maybe there's more depth information that this device can capture that would be difficult to do with a normal camera? Maybe the project can do neat projections onto objects placed underneath it?

Seems like this could find success in specific niches (things needing tactile design?). Not sure if that's where HP wants to go with this.
Wow, the MNPD should be applauded for doing their job and following the rules, despite pressure from Federal Agents:

"In fact, the chief said that, as soon as officers arrived, they realized that the Secret Service agents did not have a legal basis to enter the man's house, and the man -- who had a legal permit to carry a gun -- had never actually threatened anyone."
I'm a bit confused as to what you are arguing. You cited the existence of advertising as some sort of counter to my claim that corporate pollution is done to enable consumption. Maybe you could explain more carefully what the relevance of advertising is?

The difference being that having a Wi-Fi router means actively powering a device that sends a signal beyond the perimeter and privacy of your home. A signal that, as evidenced by this app, can be passively [1] picked up and processed by any casual passer-by.

Having a Wi-Fi router with an SSID is the equivalent of installing a speaker on the top of your house and have it constantly spell a uniquish name to the neighborhood. It might be useful for you to have that, but you might want to think a bit about what it means for your privacy.

[1]: Not having to aim or target anything, not having to have exotic instruments, but being able to be picked up by anyone at all by just listening.
Taking a minimum of risk and getting the job done is also getting something right, a good deal of somethings.

Not having to reboot after updates is my favorite part of Linux so far.
My point about running on microcontrollers is that the Linux kernel (and oom-killer in particular) has been tested on more use cases than most developers usually consider. This testing/usage has revealed mistaken design decisions and bugs. Very few process managers created from scratch will have been tested on nearly as many use cases and will naturally not be as robust.

I do agree with you about the hybrid solution, with a twist: since the oom-killer has been so widely tested, I would think that if someone needed different performance parameters, it might behoove them to start with the oom-killer and tune it, modifying the source if necessary, instead of re-inventing the wheel from scratch.
Given how huge the mobile phone industry, it don't understand why some manufacturer* hasn't carved out a niche for keyboard phones. Since all the manufactures have arrived at the roughly the same form factor and spec, maybe we'll start to see one of them try something different again.

* Other than Blackberry. Despite being a BB10 user, I can understand why the general population isn't attracted to it.
The safety thing isn't a massive distraction. It's a major part of the point of Rust, whether it's exciting to you or not.

The graphical bindings you're using are not part of the standard library, which is why I specifically asked about that. I know there are bugs in third-party dependencies in Rust, because there are many C bindings that aren't exposed safely by those libraries. I've segfaulted using a TrueType binding library, for example, because it was not actually exposed in a way that prevented double frees. But writing a bad binding is something you can do just as easily in Ruby, or Java. The standard library is what we were originally talking about. I wouldn't disbelieve you if you said you crashed every fortnight using only standard library code, but I would probably press for details.

I am not saying Rust is "completely provably safe", but nothing is. You always have some trusted software or hardware that, if it screws up, will compromise your program. Rust's advantage is that it allows you to be explicit about what parts are trusted and what parts aren't. It vastly reduces the potential attack surface.
This still doesn't top the fact cops all over this country on a regular basis, stop anyone and seize their property and cash without any charge of criminal wrongdoing, just because it would be too expensive for people to sue them to get it back.

I don't get why you would need secret hardware for that -- all the encryption can happen in software, and there are plenty of public known encryption algorithms that are secure. Maybe the need for secure storage of a private key?

> It was gaining popularity at the point where they killed it

Was it? As far as I can tell, it had been losing popularity for a long time before Windows 8, and it was rare and getting rarer that any nx-based project would recommend using it on Windows, though occasionally you'd find people outside the main projects with recipes for making it work (or horror stories of their attempts to do so.)
It's true they are not mutually exclusive. Closure is several related tools that can be used independently: a JS compiler (minifier + type-checker), templates, and very large JS library.

Some people use Angular in place of templates.

What's up doc.

She absolutely did make the diagnosis. She suspected it based on my pedal pulses, and other things, confirmed it via a CT scan, and got the surgery scheduled. It was like when the Wolf showed up in Pulp Fiction.

Now the truth is she wasn't a random nurse. She is an NP named Nathania Francis and she has some feeding monitoring patent and her own startup in the medical space (this is her bio on her company's staff page: http://www.gnftechnologies.com/gnf-management.php). No way I wasn't googling the person who saved my life.

The surgeon that night, Gustave Pogo, was great too. Turns out everyone in the NY/LI area knows of him.

But the three doctors who walked in, looked at me, and walked out, they didn't save my life. And this includes at least one specialist from the cardio-thoracic unit.

I am/was a fireman with the FDNY (past tense due to this surgery...), so have encountered a lot of emergency medicine in real life. My own medical training is limited (I always joke that "I know enough to watch someone die"), but I can definitely recognize when someone is going through the steps of diagnosing a problem.
