Well it's been opened up. Why not help contribute yourself?

"The discussions here are supposed to be about the content."

He complained about the readability of the content, I think it's a valid complaint. You might be able to read it just fine, but you don't represent 100% of the human race.

I'm with you on your second statement, not on the first.

VR will be clearly more than just movies. And AR is far from just for smartphones. Granted HoloLens isn't ready and might not be that great, but it has so much more potential than just smartphone gimmicks. A good set of AR can completely replace my work setup, I wouldn't have the need for monitors anymore. I'm excited by that idea, a new way to interact with the world.

"that day they might've interviewed 10 people better than him who just didn't make a popular tool"

Are you judging this on their ability to invert a binary tree? People here are ranting about having a problem with interview practices not representing whether or not you are good at your job. That's presumably (IMO) why the tweet was posted.

One negative of Backblaze is that they still don't support Linux. I'm not a huge Linux user, but I'd like to have the option, otherwise I'm seriously dis-interested in the service. The more open/options the better.

If you see the jump Intel made by switching to HT you wouldn't think it to be a bold claim. Look at the first gen i7 compared to it's predecessor. So, AMD added SMT, 3D transistors, improved caching, etc. But yeah, more details would be much appreciated. I can't wait to see a diagram breaking down the architecture layout.

I'm not surprised of the jump, I've been waiting for AMD to make such a jump so they could try to keep up with Intel's horsepower.

Even in developed countries people are driving their cars way over 300,000 km. Some cars are capable of over 482,803 km without major repairs needed. The Ford Crown Victoria comes to mind, the one used for police cars and taxes. I just read in a forum that police cars are used up to 643,738 km, at that point they're passed off to a taxi service for continued use. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=show...

Not all places use salt, and even then if you get your car washed and underbody cleaned it should help the longevity of the car.

I live in the US, have lived in the following states: CT, NY, LA, and now CO. Almost all of my parents cars have over 210k miles on them and they're still going. My car has 114k miles on it and it runs perfectly, if all goes well it should easily hit 200k and beyond. Also, the next car I buy, if it's for under $3k used, I wouldn't mind it having 140k miles if it's a reliable car.

They've offered it for a while I think? It's a pre-paid, look in Other monthly plans. It's pretty hidden, I don't think they want everyone to know about it. Also can be Walmart only, but I think you can do it online just fine. http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans

Yeah, I don't know how they do this, but Google says they have pre-approved WiFi hotspots the phone will automatically connect to. From this, I wonder if security will be a concern for some of these hotspots.

Well it seems I don't use 'distro' properly. I guess it only concerns Linux, but I personally don't see any reason it can't be used for OS flavors in general. Hell, the website distrowatch includes BSD and everything in between. Is there a similar phrase for BSD variants?

And ZFS is on a lot more than just FreeBSD, even if it's not official. ZFS started on OpenSolaris, not on FreeBSD. OS X has a port. Then FreeBSD got it's port. Linux has a stable port. And there are NAS OS's shipping with it like FreeNAS, TrueNAS, and a device called ReadyDATA by Netgear that has it.

I was mostly surprised at this: "The good stuff that probably won’t make it to NetBSD 7: Stable ZFS." So you're telling me ZFS isn't considered stable on NetBSD? It seems to be that it's pretty stable on quite a few other platforms, some mentioned above.

I didn't realize NetBSD was playing the catch up game with what other distros have had for some time, like ZFS. That's disappointing.

The bullets do damage but keep on going.

I'm not sure you understand the point of this post? We're not talking about AJAX or an alternative to it. This has to do with page layout and design in conjunction with delayed asset loading, whether it's slow loading or AJAX.

I personally think placeholders/known sizes are a must in web design. It really annoys me when I'm reading something and it gets pushed down due to slow loading images, etc.

Interesting, doesn't work in Chrome or Firefox for me. In Firefox you can't select anything. In Chrome you can select all, but nothing gets copied over; also the formatting of some boxes is fucked up.

What does Datomic have to do with a brief history of databases? Datomic only came out in 2012. Your comment seems like a shameful plug that has no place here.

You have another option: Unreal Engine Blueprints. If you're not comfortable with C++, use Blueprint, that's what it's there for.

What kind of shoes were you using? People have unique feet, so you may need to be fitted. Find a running store and sit down with an employee to find running shoes that will best suit your feet.

"You are saying that because a library/framework is not calling one of its own functions in a certain configuration nobody ever going to call this function in that configuration, right?"

I'm not saying that at all, I said early on that this is a problem. Refer to this in my first comment replying to you: "I don't think RaiseException is well defined. If it's only meant to be used for x86, it should be coded that way instead of relying on other code to enforce the behavior."

Internally it seems they only intended it to be used in specific cases, but there's nothing preventing anyone else from calling it when they shouldn't as you noted. This is bad design.

It's getting hit because you're running on Windows/Mac and Windows/Mac specific methods are calling it. In platform generic code like OutputDevices.cpp you see this:

    #if PLATFORM_EXCEPTIONS_DISABLED
    		FPlatformMisc::DebugBreak();
    #else
		FPlatformMisc::RaiseException( 1 );
    #endif

if PLATFORM_EXCEPTIONS_DISABLED means if it is not 0. if !PLATFORM_EXCEPTIONS_DISABLED means if it is 0, if it is not disabled. I said nothing incorrect, I'm well aware of what it means.

"Not to mention the code is not x86 specific at all."

Technically no, however it's only used in x86. It's only ever called if PLATFORM_EXCEPTIONS_DISABLED is 0. If you look up where PLATFORM_EXCEPTIONS_DISABLED is defined in Platform.h, you'll see it's only defined when not using PLATFORM_DESKTOP. PLATFORM_DESKTOP is disabled for Android, HTML5, iOS, WinRT, and WinRTArm. PLATFORM_DESKTOP is enabled for Linux, Mac, and Windows. So that instruction is only intended to be used in x86 desktop environments.

Considering this, I don't think RaiseException is well defined. If it's only meant to be used for x86, it should be coded that way instead of relying on other code to enforce the behavior.

Why does it have to be an app? I don't have an iPhone and don't intend to get one, so I can't even try out your project.

Some Japanese dude overclocked a P4 to 5GHz in 2004, and there are reports of people getting a P4 to 8GHz in 2007. There's also this cooler that Intel made in 2006, though I'm not sure of it's success: http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2006/03/08/intel_liqui...

I just wanted you to know that I can't try out your game since it doesn't seem to support Android 2.3.

That's not a great example either. I can't grab the scroll bar and go to the top or bottom of the page since they have their own custom scroll bar that doesn't work like it should. Also Page Up and Page Down don't work.

I'd rather not have a built in tip as a customer. I don't want to tip someone who doesn't do their job well. I want to tip someone who does an exceptional job, and I may even tip them exceptionally.

Granted I've never used a service like Uber, so I can't directly understand where you're coming from.

Concerning your second item: I'm not sure how it compares, but there's chocolatey: https://chocolatey.org/

Concerning #4 there's Console2, ConEmu, and Cmder which is a package with ConEmu.

There are solutions for all but one of the above, which I mention because Brew isn't an Apple driven solution, so I assume you don't mind other decent solutions not provided by Microsoft.

What hnriot says is pretty true. However, one of the points of using DDG is right on their front page below the search bar: "The search engine that doesn't track you."

As I said, the results can't be tailored to your needs. For instance: when I search Python how does DDG know to bring up? Python can refer to the snake, the programming language, the horror film, the missile, the sports car, the turboprop engine, etc.. DDG doesn't know what I intend. It can try to go off of popularity though, or I have to feed it more keywords for what I'm actually looking for.

Granted other engines can have this issue, but I think DDG more susceptible to this problem.

The reason Google can give you good results is because of the tracking they do at tailoring the search results to you. DuckDuckGo doesn't do tracking like Google, so it's not going to be tailored to you.
