that's probably a bad dongle.

i connect my htpc via a Wi-Fi USB dongle as well. it runs both Linux and windows 7. and despite the os and drivers one model always hang after a day or so. another one, different model from same brand is online for months at a time.

it's mostly badly designed/tested hardware.

I hesitate to chime in, but in the interest of completeness:

The Odroids all use Mali graphics. Mali isn't particularly worse than the Pi's VideoCore IV, but it's not particularly better either...

And the BeagleBone vs Pi comparison here is worth reading: http://section9.choamco.com/2012/07/beagleboard-vs-beagleboa...

P.S. I double-checked that the Odroids are all shipping with Mali. Happy to be proven wrong though. Does anyone know of similar-priced dev boards from Qualcomm? Qualcomm's Adreno is definitely the most interesting GPU architecture in this space. Adreno is an anagram of Radeon.

Microsoft is adopting the "Services, not devices" (or OSes) strategy envisaged two years ago (http://stratechery.com/2013/services-not-devices/).

Under Ballmer, Microsoft had a brief identity crisis, trying to be a vertically integrated company like Apple. It is clear that Satya Nadella is taking Microsoft the other way to become a horizontally-integrated company like Google (http://stratechery.com/2013/understanding-google/)by open-sourcing .Net platform, to support competing platforms like Linux, releasing Office and Outlook on all mobile platforms (Windows, iOS, Android), focusing on cloud services, and deprioritizing Windows.
hosting pis without needing/being able to access gpio and such is a silly marketing fad. it must be so ineffective in term of space and heat that i would be surprised that they have a single beefy server running several pis in emulation for the clients.

Yes, I agree, I'd love more help :) I think you'll see a shift after 1.0.0-beta happens, since then, the focus will be on polish, rather than shipping every breaking change.

You are right that this changed, but I can't find it in the RFCs either. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/20189 implemented it. And it is what everyone agreed upon.... hmm
Except that if you notice which ventures I'm praising, it's their unprofitable, no-expected-time-to-market radical R&D initiatives. Calico and SpaceX are what I'm praising far more than just Google and Tesla.
Any news if the Raspbery Pi 2 will have USB 3.0 ports? That seems to be a good selling point for the Odroid XU3 currently...

USB 3.0 ports would mean better performance as NAS or multimedia recording solution, as well as alleviating some of the current troubles with usb performance.

Thanks for the shoutout :) (Paperspace cofounder here) Just to followup a bit - we let you run an full desktop computer in a web browser (we host the machine for you, so its fully managed). This means you can turn a macbook air or chromebook into a powerful machine. If battery is a concern, it might be a great fit.

We are still in a closed beta but shoot me an email dte@paperspace.io if that sounds interesting.

I've completed a master's degree in Physics from IIT Kanpur, one of the top institutes in India, and I'll be getting a second master's in Computer Science in a few months. I have a large amount of inter-disciplinary exposure, and I'm interested in profiles related to Data Science/BI, back-end, or front-end work; basically any place where I get to learn a lot and apply myself. I'm not great at UI/UX, but I'm good at getting the job done.
They might've passed the WebTrust audit, but I'm still pretty worried about their security posture.

Remember, unless you're pinning your certificate using DNSSEC+DANE or HPKP, in practice any CA in the world can issue certificates for any domain.

Let's recap: It's 2015. They're using SHA-1 for everything (NOOOO!). They're based in China, which has just said it wants to ban encryption. (So has Cameron in the UK, yes, but at least he hasn't won an election yet. Edit: he pledged to if he wins; we have a coalition government, nobody won last time, least of all us! <g>) It looks like they've messed up OSCP, so even their own cert doesn't pass. Oh, and RC4, TLS 1.0 only, check out their login server: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=login.wosign.... - let's put the (slightly) stronger ones at the end, everyone! Ugh.

Let's Encrypt will do it properly. Or Else™. ;)
Something that recently caused an interesting amount of problems for me was the simple fact that the modulo operation with negative numbers changes its behaviour depending on the programming language: http://rigaux.org/language-study/syntax-across-languages/Mth...

And a Chinese startup cracked NewRelic to raise over $10m	http://www.v2ex.com/t/125736 It is in Chinese. Code diff is in the comments. It seems they cracks New Relic's Node.js, Python and Java agents, and raised RMB 70m ($10m+) from Matrix and Chengwei (sounds like a Chinese fund): http://source.chinaventure.com.cn/show_2_0_19158.html.
The issue is it makes it difficult to notice that a function might return when scanning through a function. Especially as it's in places that are looking for a value (e.g. assignment).

At the moment it's just return and try!, but people look to the standard library for what is acceptable. When the standard library contains a macro that can return, people will write their own macros that return. It could potentially be half a dozen different macros you need to keep in your head.

Personally, I go back and forth on it. Hopefully it will turn out fine.
I can see how you might think that seeing as how a lot of manufacturers in the low cost and hobby markets are quite liberal with their datasheets . but it is not uncommon in regards to the higher end soc companies like marvel,qualcom or in this case broadcom.
The Raspberry Pi is a platform optimized for and bundled with its community. The Raspberry Foundation can produce/license any conceivable number of these devices at the same price point. The difference of for example $35 vs $70 doesn't matter very much for individual buyers. It does matter when dealing with educational budgets and a desire for predictable spending. Even when a school/hobbyist course requires students to buy their own devices, even $5 differences can be a big deal.

The fixed price, high bulk, cooperation with education initiatives and governments, all translates to a relatively homogeneous, unfragmented "fleet" of devices, which just isn't the norm in small computers.

Beagle Bone, the Odroid series, and several other products are technically superior in most ways. But they don't have a comparable community size, and aren't focused on the educational sector as much. In some ways, these models attach to the Raspberry Pi community.
operator, is one of the operators defining a sequence point (e.g. guaranteeing the left side of the expression executes in whole before the right - others being &&, ||, and ?:.)

Overloading the operator removes this sequence point. Too sketchy for my blood.

I disagree. While you get familiar with what the compiler wants (certainly I did, after using Rust for more than 2 years now), it's just that Rust compiler wants more from you than C++ compiler does.

The number of tricky concepts largely do not affect writability, because you don't have to use them. The number of mandatory compile time checks do, because you have to pass them.

One way to improve writability is a mode to turn off some of checks while you are exploring. I already gave a good example from Haskell. When you are done exploring, you can turn on all the checks.
I agree with your calculation, of course you don't need to save for 20yrs, just save for a good down payment

Too bad a lot of people go buy a house on the wrong side of that equation

However, owning vs. renting has an interesting hidden cost: you can move "anytime you want" with rent. Renting usually tracks the market affordability/cost more closely, while your mortgage doesn't change while the price go up or down, BUT if the price goes down this might be a problem.
>Before you stop reading because you don't trust a Chinese company for your website encryption please keep in mind that you don't have to trust them at all! You generate the SSL key on your server and only send them the CSR (certificate signing request) which doesn't contain any private information.

That's not really the reason we might not trust a CA. The CA needs to make assurances that it won't improperly sign certificates for an entity purporting to be the principal, e.g., DigiNotar. Maybe this CA has, but that's still a weak argument.
PhantomJS 2
It's probably the economics of FCC/CE testing vs utility. The testing for unintentional radiators is onerous enough. If you add an intentional radiator, you trigger a whole lot more tests and a whole more cost.
shameful.
I haven't read his other blog posts, but in this one he seems to come off as arrogant and a child, in a sense, by arguing for some kind of feature addition without actually explaining how it would benefit any users other than him and (more importantly) how it would actually benefit Slack. Slack might not listen regardless, but it's a turn off to read the first paragraph and to try to not think of some whiny 16 year old.
Thank you, you've managed to nicely express my feelings on Rust. For coming up with a polished end product that works, Rust is easier, but for bashing on your keyboard to get out your ideas it can be a little frustrating compared to even C++.
For teachers one big issue is that you don't know if you can buy 100% compatible devices in a year's time in comparable conditions (price, bulk, availability etc). With Raspberry Pi you know you can.

Looking at an excerpt in another wikipedia entry, it looks like the metric is based on phonology only:

> Demonstrates a comparative statistical method for determining the extent of change from the Latin for the free and checked accented vowels of French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Rumanian, Old Provençal, and Logudorese Sardinian. By assigning 3½ change points per vowel (with 2 points for diphthongization, 1 point for modification in vowel quantity, ½ point for changes due to nasalization, palatalization or umlaut, and −½ point for failure to effect a normal change), there is a maximum of 77 change points for free and checked stressed vowel sounds (11×2×3½=77). According to this system (illustrated by seven charts at the end of the article), the percentage of change is greatest in French (44%) and least in Italian (12%) and Sardinian (8%). Prof. Pei suggests that this statistical method be extended not only to all other phonological, but also to all morphological and syntactical, phenomena.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_Romance_langu...

Sounds rather arbitrary. Linguistics has come a long way since the 1940s, so I would take that one with a big grain of salt without confirmation from more modern references.

That said, as another comment in this subthread says, Latin survives in all Romance languages. There's no objective basis in claiming that Romanian is the one true descendant.

meh, it'd be nice if it was more open from the CPU point of view but it kinda works out, plus "there's always hope". Can't make up for the lack of instructions and power.

Heck, both of them reasons while I like intel chips afterall. Their newest ones are pretty sexy too. I'm hoping sexy boards of similar form factor, and... oh yeah price.. err. yeah not going to happen :(

So in the meantime armv7+ boards are pretty decent (with similar random support, which, also mostly works out)

Firstly, the way Italians pronounce Latin is nothing like what it should should :) In the main, c is hard (Cicero is KIKero not CHIchero), v is to be pronounced as the English w. Those are the main points that irk me.

The best approximation we have is what's called the "restored" pronunciation. If you're interested in all the nuances the best book for this in my opinion is Vox Latina by Allen. Alternatively, just listen to anything by Evan der Miller on his YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/evan1965. His Latin pronunciation is the restored Classical and extremely good.

If you took Latin in Highschool and want to get back into it you should check out a book course called Lingua Latina per se Illustrata. It introduces Latin through Latin and also contains MP3 recordings for the first 31 chapters in first book, all in very good restored Latin pronunciation by the author Hans Ørberg. (there's a torrent of all the Lingua Latina resources)

In case you were wondering: "As in ordinary ternary numbers, the digits of a balanced ternary numeral are coefficients of powers of 3, but instead of coming from the set {0, 1, 2}, the digits are –1, 0 and 1."

e.g.

1 x 3^3 - 1 x 3^2 + 0 x 3^1 + 1 x 3^0,

Imagine, trits instead of bits. I like the idea of base e, if unrealistic.

(BTW: I have an old answer on Math.stackexchange that cheats by using base 3: http://math.stackexchange.com/a/734723/108109 )
