You can also write bad procedural code in an "OO language" because that is also a methodology. I see that crap all the time; giant 50+ line methods that do a bunch of things and all the utility functions are procedural-style class methods. Lots of Rubyists don't have any idea even what the difference between OOP and Procedural is, they just assume they must be doing OOP since they're using an "OO language."
... and in some cases breaking with OO methodology is the correct approach at least for Java. I'm thinking of squeezing performance out of an Android app on low end devices where it's a good idea to use the "static" keyword all over the place and in doing so treat member variables as globals and functions as effectively global subroutines. I think of it as risotto code - a big bowl of starchy mess that's a bit less stringy in appearance than spaghetti and potentially harder to get your head around.
Which sort of brings me to my view on whether or not Java is cool. Java itself is kind of like a swiss army knife that can be used to do just about anything you could want to do. It comes with a huge amount of bloat to that allows it to handle just about anything and while it's almost never as good as a specialist tool but you can always make it work. Swiss army knives are cool to boys between about 8 - 16 years old give or take. An adult with a swiss army knife in a leather pouch on their belt on the other hand is never cool.
In Australia it's illegal to fly a UAV within 30 meters of a human. This donkey was using an iPad to fly it 10 meters above the track. Even if quality radios are available here (of course they are) it sounds like he's a 'creative' type with little regard for anything without a brand name he reckognizes, physical reality or the law.
I run kxstudio over a heavily modified system that functions as a media centre, file server, desktop, dev machine and low latency DAW. It works fine for me.
Geez, I started reading these comments hoping to find a better notation solution than rosegarden for Linux and it's full of superstitious crap
Ardour makes pro tools look like a toy. Busses in ardour are busses. You can put ardour on your Mac if you want but neither ardour or pro tools meets the requirements.
What software do you use for this? Is it AIDE or something else?
I'm using AIDE. It helps to root and increase the heap size if you need large libraries.
(Skipping the Chinese frying pan) That's all well and good for wandering about a building. But what happens if you wander onto a bus or otherwise out of range of your access point's signal?
I suppose I could open the firewall and remote in using my phone as a tether if I really needed to but so far I haven't. That would be limited to SSH to because xrpd would be painful over patchy 3G in my area.
In my case it's it leans towards the yes. I just got one of the asus android transformers and so far it's working out far better than my old laptop. I've found quick development tasks much quicker and easier than using the laptop and it's really convenient that the battery lasts as long as it does and I can get up and wander around with just the screen when I need thinking/reading time. This is suitable of course because I am developing android software and I am not someone who likes sitting down when I solve complex problems.
I also have and will continue to use the desktop when I need real power because it handles heavy workloads without the thermal meltdowns of a laptop. Having ssh, xrdp and samba shares on the desktop machine also gives me the freedom to wander around with the tablet while doing heavy wokloads.
I dream of a time where tools like blender are set up so that the heavy lifting is done by a PC and the UI is a thin opengl es app on the tablet allowing multiple connections for collaboration. That would be delightful!
Many days have September, April, June and November, all the rest have many except February which has many unless it's a leap year in which case it has many. Leap years occur many years apart.
So let me get this straight. Experimenting to try to gather evidence to support and explain phenomena reportedly observed by people throughout history is mumbo jumbo whereas stating that research in a particular subject is unjustified because we know everything, the subject seems ridiculous and we can assert that it can't be empirically measured is science? Okay. I suppose you believe in immutable "scientific facts" too? I guess I used to believe in the tooth fairy.....
If 'a' is a prefix in the case of alot then alot probably means not many or not much. It might even be an a definition of a subset of a lot in which case a better word in english would be allotment (n) or allot (v).
'A' as a prefix doesn't mean 'one'. Another is a strange word in that it is more like the German sytem of gluing words together than it is like English and it uses 'an' where there is less ambiguity about the intended meaning. Alot kind of means "not one lot" or a little.
Y was used to substitute thorn because french typesetting didn't include thorn. Just like f was used to replace s when they ran out of esses on a page.
That's my concern in this. Seizing his bank access seems punitive to me and he hasn't been found guilty of anything. The alleged offenses don't even seem to warrant that action.
I really hope his legal team can set some kind of precedent to keep a tighter leash on prosecution agencies.
Don't pretend the US administration, donkey or elephant regardless, doesn't want this. Even our voice in the negotiations (the arguably honourable senator CONroy) is against these changes but being a lawyer with no understanding of tubes he may be hoodwinked into total control.
I wouldn't want to tow an 18 wheeler with a Nano, but I also wouldn't want to deliver a small package to an inner city address with an 18 wheeler. Horses for courses (or pidgeons, horses and elephants for their respective courses if you will).
Note the article says ARM *server* processors. In that market, GPUs are totally irrelevant, power usage is secondary to performance, and price of the CPU is a distant third.
That is as has been, but I'm wondering if this is not a strategic move on their part. Perhaps They are thinking of large clusters of low power ARM cores that kick in as the workload demands with some kind of clever way of sharing resources (Freedom Fabric?). With the global political landscape the way it is, that could be an important point of difference.
Reducing energy consumption is now the "in thing" and will continue to grow in purchasing decisions as financial incentives to reduce carbon emissions grow. If a server can be run using a single voltage PSU instead of needing different voltage on different rails, there are likely to be energy savings over x86. If that server can idle at less than a Watt and then ramp up in small increments as demand requires, that might also yield an overall advantage.
Sure, for serious continuous load applications, it's probably not the best, but for a lot of cloud type applications I can see this as being useful for renewable energy supplied server farms.
I'm just speculating of course, and I fully agree GPUs are irrelevant, but I think the idea that power usage is always secondary to performance has reached it's use by date.

Useful maybe, but never cool.
Yes.

If I want to shop around or get Australian specific advice I start with whirlpool.
Yes. _and_ when they ran out of those they used an f. I have seen it with my own eyes in reprints of original artifacts.
Y was used to substitute thorn because french typesetting didn't include thorn. Just like f was used to replace s when they ran out of esses on a page.
Bullshit. Creative media professionals existed before adobe. Teach everything but photoshop so they learn the principles rather than one tool.
I agree. They should dump the big single window thing and put it back the way it was. Right now it's nearly as hard to use as photoshop.

my 7yo logged on to his 1st Linux desktop at age 2. He wants anything between him and flash games gone.
