Thanks for your hard work on this project - it's really really cool.
I'm having trouble figuring out the intent of your post. Are you confused about the conversion factor with pounds and tons (it's 2), or are you taking the opportunity to snark about something unrelated?

Edit: Wait did you seriously convert pounds to kilograms to short tons? That's like going from meters to feet to kilometers.
An omnidirectional antenna on the satellite, a high gain large dish on the ground tracking the satellite across the sky, and error correcting codes that spread errors over time.

Since these lists are always a lot about friends and family let me list some non-mainstream insights I've gained about my own life:

1. Social activities are mostly a waste of time.

2. If you want to sit at home 24/7 programming then do it.

3. Don't make it a habit coming up with excuses. Learn to say no without an excuse attached.

4. Some people are not meant to be in a relationship. If you're in a healthy and happy relationship but things still feel off, considering terminating it.
We should really think about getting something like this in rust/rustfmt. Syntax-level replacements sound pretty awesome.

My personal reason for using Twitter less is the degradation of the website. Using J to scroll down has always been buggy with image posts and often resets to the first post, but newest 'feature' includes not being able to view threads inline. When clicking a tweet it will go to the details page (opening in a new tab doesn't work) and when going back you have to scroll down possibly hundreds of tweets. When opening images inline (that still works in most cases) the page scrolls up a random amount, anywhere between 5 and 50 tweets it seems. Copying image URLs using right click also doesn't work anymore when viewing an image (only from the tweet list can you copy it, then manually editing the URL to include ':large' works). And of course the ads, even though I don't see them, the J key doesn't skip them so I know they're there.

Overall, the user experience becomes worse and worse. They said Twitter makes a good replacement for RSS feeds, but honestly I wish my Twitter feed was an RSS feed to be loaded in any reader I like.
Clean Wikipedia with Lookup (click wiki words to see)
This is super off-topic, but what compels you to write like this? Putting paragraph breaks after every sentence, or every other sentence. Did you learn it from someone? Did you fall into the pattern naturally?

I've seen it more and more, and it really frustrates me. In my reading it corrupts your ideas with this TED-talky, breathless, pseudo-momentousness, ruining what might otherwise be an interesting point or story. And I guess I'm surprised I'm (apparently) in the minority on this view.

This was never going to end well. When you have a small form-factor platform with a large reach, and you attempt to introduce a larger form-factor with a small reach, it becomes impossible to convince developers to spend the disproportionate amount of money necessary to generate higher-resolution assets to accommodate it. It's just not worth it.
While I was driving a friends keyless car (he had the key) he stepped out to get something and the car flashed some lights to inform me I was driving without the key. It didn't turn off (thankfully). This is the correct behavior.

I once watched a friend's girlfriend throw his cell phone out of the car while on the freeway. Had this been his car keys I would hope that the car would not immediately power off (especially since I was in the car).
> Are you using a computer? I think most people watch TV on a TV, where "legit" apps aren't based on Flash.

Not too important, but quite a few legit TV apps are Flash based. YouView and TiVo in the UK are both entirely flash (AS3 for YV, TiVo was AS2 last time I worked on it). Roku I think were AS2. Samsung TVs used to support flash but that might not be handled any more, I think their browser is pretty decent now.

Most TVs have moved to HTML+JS though, that's true. Thankfully many actually moved to sensible browsers too, there used to be massive inconsistencies between devices.

Actually a bit of a shame. Although flash can be really annoying, you can control when frames are drawn and position things accurately. You also had much better control over the memory (which things are cached, what's still a vector), which is important if you've got only a few megs of RAM and you're sliding around 1280x720 images.

Flash could have been hugely better, but the compiler was terrible (thanks to motion-twin though, you saved my sanity so many times on AS2 projects) and the runtime needed a lot of work on slower devices. But for animating things when you know the exact resolution you're always going to be running at? Brilliant.

Nice Work!

I don't feel like writing an essay about it now (it's late and I have other stuff that needs writing) but I'm very optimistic about AI.

I think there's some selection pressure to be gloomy on the internet; optimistic people who turn out to be wrong look stupid, while pessimistic people who turn out to be wrong merely look cautious. And then remember the old proverb 'misery loves company' - people assuage their anxiety about things by kvetching. Everyone does this some of the time (it'd be a bit unnatural if one didn't) but some people interact on line like this almost all the time - I don't know if it's depression or some sort of dopamine rush from getting angry about things or what, but I've terminated my accounts in several online communities over in recent years because I just got so sick of the sarcasm, endless negativity, and obsession with insider coding (straining to always make hip references or recycle cool quotes). It's interesting from a sociological perspective - you can see very similar group dynamics in interest groups that would be horrified to be told they had anything in common with each other - but I think it's very corrosive to participate in.

Philosopher Rene Girard has built a whole theory about this; he thinks there's a fundamental tendency towards scapegoating in human society and that people are never happy unless they have someone to project their negative feelings onto. With the advent of AI, perhaps we're unwittingly trying to automate that too. If this is so then some sort of scary AI is inevitable because we'll invent in order to have a reliably hostile enemy that's guaranteed not to vex us with diplomatic initiatives or socioeconomic guilt trips. I have a suspicion that this is the basic plot of the new Avengers movie.
This is what's always driven me mad about the battlefield series. There's were some great mods springing up and I wish it was capitalized on and encouraged.

You got me curious. I googled and found[1] that indeed they only pronounce numbers 21-99 that way, e.g. for 31 the order of words is "one thirty", but higher order components go left to right, e.g. for 25031 the order of words is "five twenty thousand one thirty".

Well .. nothing against you, but if you can do what you love even if that means you are broke, means you are elite. It means you have some guarantee of a social support. May be your definition of broke includes welfare support from govt. There are parts of the world where people commit suicide if they are broke. All people in the first worlds are elites.

I'd rather say they are very good examples of building a brand, by invoking an actual value customers care about. Nobody (except some hard core enthusiasts) flies for the sake of flying, but everyone wants to get to some interesting or otherwise important destinations. That's why the airlines associated their brands with them, instead of bragging about planes, seats, crew etc.
Yeah, I'd forgotten about 'New 3DS'. Almost as bad as the iPad Air > iPad 2 mess Apple had going on.
But that's why most people get stuck with percentages, even if you give them a calculator.

They can work out what 8% of 347 is. But ask them what 43 is as a percentage of 172 and they can't do it. Or if a widget costs £250 after a 20% discount, how much did it cost before -- they can't do it.
Which is also why car owners should jump at the opportunity to fund public transit projects.

The ability to use OpenGL in a way that doesn't suck would be nice. Thanks for the pointer.

I need to think about this a lot. I've got a particular project in mind (VLSI design) and the thing that has always stopped me is that the UI toolkits can't deal with concurrent actions. OpenGL and multi-threading are asking for disaster with C/C++.

Rust might let me break that logjam.

I think maybe my comment sounded like I was advocating notation over types. I'm not, and I agree with everything you're saying.

I stand by my assertion that there are situations where a little notation is a good thing.

A better argument for notation is the readability of the code (which I place a high value on). That's a place where the types don't help as much, but the notation does.

I wouldn't be surprised if nothing you can see on the exhibit is "original". First, they clearly admit in the article that they focus "on preserving the body's physical form—its look, shape, weight, color, limb flexibility and suppleness—but not necessarily its original biological matter. After 145 years, it's quite possible that everything was substituted. Second, Russia has a long tradition of creating a PR-pumped image of healthy, almost immortal leaders. That could be a natural part of such cult practices.

It's also a sting as others have mentions because the customer already must have bought 100% of something to get assets the will use. The publisher skimming 75% off 100% of the value that modders created for free seems a bit shitty.

Especially when there's still no requirement for the original developer to have made the modders lives any easier to get this benefit.

Social Collecting – A new way to collect in a digital environment
Bear in mind that the majority of the Wii U's best-selling games support local co-op multiplayer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Wii_U_vide...

But one of the major points of the article is that the Wii Remote made local multiplayer gaming enticing to casual gamers, and the Wii U Gamepad does not. That's fair. But I'm not convinced that any Wii title besides Wii Sports actually achieved the goal that the author claims to characterize the best Wii games generally. For example, the best-selling Wii game was Mario Kart 8, but my impression is that few gamers, casual or otherwise, found the motion controls appealing after the initial novelty had faded. And there's a strong sense among many Nintendo observers that while Wii Sports was a brilliant game, it was also a dead end.
