>[P]aradoxically, it’s easier to build robust, fault-tolerant systems from unreliable components[.]

Giving this some thought, I think I see a parallell here to how most the rest of the nature works; the "components" that make up a creature appears to often be as simple as it can afford to be.

Thank you all, malnourish, bemmu and viznut -- now I understand how the 8bit synth works in Caustic on my Android tablet. Furthermore, I want to make my own music software on my Raspberry Pi and Adapteva Parallellas and this is the first real step on the path to that.

All four are grey in Firefox for Android.

I know what you mean. I have multiple examples of experiencing this realization about different professions.

For example, the day I discovered that they sell surveilance cameras in regular electronics stores, I was very surprised. Up until then, I had thought that only special kinds of highly trained professionals even knew how to get them and that the whole thing was a giant unified system that cost close to infinite amounts of money.

For future versions, maybe you could do local position tracking and use that to make surround sound?

Or better yet, if the audience is on numbered seats, print a QR code on their ticket which gives them an URL that includes their seat number as a parameter.

That's pretty cool. Nice work :)

>We think 4D movies; movies that gets the audiences' devices involved into the experience could be a way of the future.

That is certainly an interesting idea. I'm thinking, though, that getting it to work and be stable across the many devices we have is prohibitly difficult.

If I were to do something like this, I'd look at the Firefox OS phones. I don't think they are ready yet, but crazy cheap Firefox OS phones will come. They target developing countries, but would also be good for something like this. So when people buy their ticket, you also sell them this cheap device which you've prepared so that it'll work out of the box. It'll be similar to the way they currently sell 3D glasses at the cinemas.

Hey, it works. Neat trick, thanks.

Turning off UseDNS as suggested by user grey-area did the trick for me.

Hey, thank you very much. I did as you said and now login is much much faster :D

Is there an emoji for "Piracy"?

edit: Found elsewhere

I have a VPS with DigitalOcean and for some reason, logging in over SSH takes disturbingly long. I may decide to switch over to Linode with these new prices.

No. Borrowing a book means that you have it instead of the person that bought it. If you copy it, both can have the book at the same time.

Didn't know seL4 was going to be open source. Thanks.

Worked fine for me in Firefox for Android.

>Visit unlink.php on your browser

Better yet, make it an executable script starting with the line:

#!/usr/bin/php -q

Thanks :)

I agree, but I guess .filter or .where could be more difficult to understand for beginners.

>zalewski's game PoC

I googled this but found nothing relevant. Do you have a link?

Speaking of chorded keyboards, see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stenotype

I've never used one, but I want to. They're so expensive, though :(

Off topic, but I've never seen anyone use Python docstring format to quote text like that on HN. It's actually not a bad idea.

Didn't see any answer to what are, IMO, the two most important questions:

* What flight time does it have?

* If you pre-order today (not that I'm going to), when can you expect to receive it?

I received my two Adapteva Parallella from the kickstarter quite recently. At the moment I've only used one of them, but I want to make a cluster. I could call the cluster Gibson.

So which was the first one you came to think of when you read the title? Mine:

>Gibson, a type of supercomputer used to find oil and perform physics in Hackers (1995)

Off topic, but I just wanted to point out that Google Translate is really great. The quality of this translation is probably better than many human non-professional-translators would write.

I noticed the list didn't include any static site generators written in PHP, so I googled and found a couple:

* https://sculpin.io/

* http://phrozn.info/

I was hoping this was a simplified Makefile format.

You may find the OpenROV project to be of interest to you. http://www.openrov.com/

Is SoftHSM meant for production use? I get a feeling it's not (but am not lure), based on this sentence:

> You can use it to explore PKCS #11 without having a Hardware Security Module.
