Update actually changes the binary/code of chrome. It pushes new features and content to you. Finch only turns certain features on/off. It's used for A/B testing and incremental rollouts. You can see a list of flags in c

It actually is almost nothing like the auto updating feature. Finch is mainly used for A/B testing. It doesn't push actual updates, all it does it turn existing features (flags) on and off. It's used for quickly A/B test

While that may be true, either of the two could've been the actual winner if real ranked voting was used. People usually flock to the candidate who has the best mix of "likely to win" and "shares my values". Prefera

Something they definitely need a solution for is sanitation, since there will be a lot of reuse of the same headset. I've heard this is a big issue that people over overlook at conventions, and there has been cases of eye herpes going

So is the "You Don't Need Javascript (css is powerful enough)" one. Most of those were cool proof of concept demos made in CSS with no JS. One of them was just a straight up game... I don't see how any of that is actuall

I'm confused how this was presented by someone 10 years ago, and with all the researches out there, no one has yet replicated or refuted his work, and NASA is the only one doing it... 10 years later?

I don't care which side we keep the clock at, but going back and forth is just plain stupid and causes more issues that it solves.

See, I would agree with you, and I definitely agree with their decision on the new MBP to put four Thunderbolt 3, but I don't understand why they didn't use a USB-C connector on the iPhone 7, which just came out. They removed the

Machine learning is currently being used all over the place, in almost every single of Google's products. Projects like these may have a "fun" goal, but while reaching towards that objective, a lot of new techniques and theor

I don't see this being useful for real programs, but it could be amazing for interactive use in a shell. I use iPython for all sorts of quick data manipulation daily, and being able to just quickly type an idea and get it would be amaz

What about the thousands of people with imporant data that could be attacked in the coming days using this exploits, but can now protect themselves from it knowing this? It goes both ways. As they said, this is active in the wild and many a

No, they did what any security researcher would do, Google or not. To be honest, their call is a perfect one. On the one hand, you don't tell anyone other than Microsoft and wait for them to patch as many people as possible while the b

And that's a minimum guaranty. We have yet to see if they truly stop or keep going.

who's running these proxies? The idea is to have a replacable flash player that works out of the box with all the flash content on the web.

They had actually moved even before that with 5X and 6P. They were some of the first phones to do it. I believe a few samsung and other phones have already switched too. In my opinion, that's courage that actually matters. USB-C is a h

What do you mean by that last line? Well for one thing the bar is customizable by each app, but still, from the examples, they show very clear icons of function. This is already far superior than just F1, F2, etc, which are far far more cry

I hear all this talk about no more ESC key, but couldn't they potentially just put one up there on the bar, albeit not a real clickable key?

Yes, laying fiber line is hard. Which is why I think Fiber is pivoting. Look at this: https://webpass.net/blog/google-fiber-agrees-to-acquire-webp... They do point-to-point wireless transmission. This is perfect for ci

The point of eye tracking in VR isn't really about being an input control (even if that's what this company was focusing on). There are many big problems in VR that get solved if you know where the user is looking at. The most imp

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the content maker get to decide if they in fact do want all the AMP benefits or not? If I remember correctly you can choose to disable the whole AMP cache google link, and only use the AMP opti

by Ph0X 10y ago
But why would you ever want as a user to go from an AMP article to the same article but non-AMP? I could see the user going to the homepage of that site to see more similar articles (or clicking on other articles on the side), but I don&#x2

The thing about their plan though, if you read the post entirely, is that this new car with the new sensor comes with almost all features disabled. The reality is, with machine learning, you need a lot of data, and yes, you can send a few o

But that's why I say, there should be a pypy flag where you tell it to not double check at run time and that you've made sure your annotation is correct. Now if it isn't correct, you'll probably get a segfault or some na

If you're willing to put in all the work to do it yourself, and also pay for CDN (though it probably won't be as good as Google's), then feel free to do it. But yeah, nothing's free. They give you this great technology,

by Ph0X 10y ago
Well in the pypy case, couldn't this just be a toggle? As in, you as the user guarantee that your type annotations are correct and strict, and if it isn't, then pypy will just blow up in your face when type annotations aren't

In theory, that's basically the idea of most questions asked during interviews (except maybe very basic CS ones). The idea is that they will look at how you approach the problems. If you already know it and spew out a memorized answer,

They don't sell things. They forward you towards people who do sell things which you may be interested with. You're free to ignore it, and if you're not interested in what they're showing you, that means they failed at t

I've had two phone screens with them and both times they were very technical people. Then again it was some time ago and with the bigger scale they may have changed it up. It is unfortunate, but as mentioned above, you need to just pla
