Deleted, then. Perhaps I have conflated the memory of being at javaone and being told all about the wonders of javafx, and the contemporaneous wonders of "filthy rich clients".

History is not the strong suit of this site's readers. Yes, Intel was selling ARM CPUs into the mobile market (Compaq IPAQ, Sharp Zaurus, etc) when Apple was still making pink iMacs.

What do you mean discontinued? What about the Atom that was just introduced earlier in 2016? e.g. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138... ?

People also seem to forget that Kodak owned the entire digital still photography market for its first decade. They had a 1 megapixel sensor during the Reagan administration, for crying out loud.

It's not just that. Hackborn spent many years denying that Android was janky as fuck, or making excuses for it (e.g. https://plus.sandbox.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/... ).

I agree. Qualcomm and the rest can own the frontend and get half a nickel in profits per handset shipped, while Intel owns the backend and sells server CPUs by the millions with gross margins of hundreds of dollars per unit and next to not

That's not where the money goes. The money goes to responding to every drug addict with a stubbed toe with a giant firetruck and its crew, and then taking the aforementioned drug addict to SF General for the world's most expensiv

I'm not sure. I don't program in C++ because I want it to have performance comparable to other languages.

The thing to keep in mind is that copying a shared_ptr isn't cheap at all. It's a class with a pointer and atomic reference count inside and the atomic inc/dec takes many cycles.

+1 to this. I wouldn't touch ZFS or DTrace or anything else from Sun/Oracle with a 30-million-foot pole.

"One of the goals of such systems is that copy of the file system on disk is always consistent." Goal yes, implementation no. WAFL does in fact have consistency problems and filers do ship with a consistency checker called "

On the top right side you can switch it to county-level data. I wish this site had a reasonable way to make permalinks, then I would just paste it here.

Exactly my point!

Can't I just put a lens above the surface to concentrate it? I think you picked a poor example.

"Violent gun crimes are nearly non-existent in rural settings." This cannot be the basis of a rational policy, because it's false. Gun violence is much higher outside of cities. Please go to this site and set the stats to &

In fact this is the perfect illustration of how the non-rich are manipulated into supporting the policies of the rich. Lots of people oppose the minimum wage increase on the basis of its impact on small businesses, but the reality is that

Wasn't this the kind of understanding that Cyc was supposed to accomplish?

The joke is that the rural people are oppressing themselves. "Urban elites" have long advocated for policies that would benefit the rural poor but the white rural poor are dead set against any policy that would also benefit black

Say what? The counties of the Bay Area are all well below the national average suicide rate (age adjusted, per capita CDC data). Explore for yourself at [1]. How did you arrive at this odd belief? 1: https://wisqars.cdc.gov:84

I'm actually using it as shorthand for "your sentence fragments do not amount to an argument."

I always complain about code comments that aren't complete sentences. Why should comments be misspelled or grammatically incorrect?

Well perhaps another part of Google's code review culture is important, then: proposed changes must be style compliant, must compile, must have tests, and all the tests must pass before anyone will bother looking at them. If I got a c

My throwaway account is as anonymous as yours. I use it because it's been logged in in Chrome for the last five years and I'm lazy. I don't see how "JTxt" differs from "thrownaway2424"

Again I'm not really seeing your point. One goes about in public "openly and notoriously" as the legal jargon goes. It is expected that one's face would be recognized.

by thrownaway2424 10y ago
I don't disagree with your facts but I also don't think they lead to your conclusion. One does not expect privacy in public, by definition.

Driving has never been anonymous. The license plate is readable from a distance for a reason.

It's great that you've thought this through, but I'm sure you would agree that your opinion on the set of people that people other than yourself should be allowed to marry is without consequence. That's what we're

That's not what historical polling data indicates. Polls show that opinions move along with a birth cohort, not that they are standing phenomena of age brackets.

The next 25 years are pretty much locked in based on the aforementioned opinions of under-30 Americans. You must have had a longer time scale in mind before you made that statement.
