First of all, the hiragana "no" is always Japanese, not Chinese, not Korean. The CJK unification is only about han characters (in Japanese, that's kanji). As for maths, there are usually markers to indicate we are in an equation, which makes sense because Unicode is not powerful enough for this : fractions, integrals, matrices, etc... cannot be rendered with just code points. So in this case Unicode provide the characters (roman and geek letters, numbers, mathematical symbols, the hiragana "no", etc...) and a higher level language (like MathML or LaTeX) deal with the structure. Because of this, Unicode doesn't have to dedicate a special page for mathematical version of regular characters : the software can easily differentiate. If it is MathML / LaTeX "$" block, render it with the math font, otherwise, use the regular font.
At the time Glide was still relevant, OpenGL was designed for expensive workstations and supported plenty of features like geometric transforms and lighting. Game oriented GPUs couldn't do this in hardware and software emulation was painfully slow. As for Direct3D, it was a massive PITA for developers and wasn't that efficient either. This is the reason why 3Dfx made Glide. It was a thin layer that is sufficient for the developer to use all the hardware features without hassle but nothing more. For instance there was absolutely no geometric computations. As a result it was very efficient. Its popularity declined as CPUs and GPUs became powerful enough to fully support OpenGL. The original NVIDIA GeForce, which could do geometry in hardware, was the killing blow.
How it applies to VR ? VR demands low latency. And abstraction layers, which often form the basis of open standards, tend increase latency. That's why manufacturers turn to proprietary APIs that are strongly tied to their hardware, like 3Dfx with Glide. Maybe, when we have something that works really well, they will think about standards.
Adobe already more or less killed flash. The killed Flash for Android years ago and the Linux plug-in is not in good shape. Their web authoring tools now focus on HTML5.
We don't need to be 100% safe, safer than human drivers is enough. Plus, if there are indeed neural nets, they are not necessarily relied upon in life-or-death situation. In fact, they most likely aren't. For example, the prankster tricking the car into thinking the bridge abutment is a road may fool some advanced AI until another, much simpler piece of code tied to a proximity sensor triggers an emergency maneuver. Rough ride but you are safe. And, I wouldn't call these people pranksters. Murderers would be a more correct term, and thankfully, they are rare. The "push you on the tracks while the train is coming" prank may be an easy one but I don't see it performed very often...
What is this "joke" thing humans are so found of ? And GP comment makes no sense. Why should bots leave when they are asking for maternity ? What is this "stirred up office" thing ?
Oh, bleep bloop, update incoming, it looks like a critical bug fix. See you later humans.
These larger pieces of space junk are easy to track, few in number, and thus are not that dangerous.
While they may be easy to avoid by themselves, if, for some reason, they collide with other space junk, they may break up into a large number of smaller pieces, possibly triggering a chain reaction. Bigger debris also typically experience less drag and stay in orbit for longer.
If your project involves code, it's better if you are familiar with code. In the same way that if your project involves wood, it's better if you are familiar with woodworking. Better architects also know the technical aspect of construction, including manual labor.
100% perfect execution can turn a bad idea into something that is still bad but sells well. Flaky execution of a great idea can be a commercial success for your competitors after they take the idea and execute it better.
If that one asshole as you say it is an active kernel developer he has the right to include support for whatever the fuck he wants, that's the whole point of the Linux development model. As long as it is disabled at compile time, it won't affect you.
The Surface Pro was good. The real bomb was the Surface RT. Now that they got rid of it (the Surface 3 is x86) it seems that the sales are picking up again.
You may not like the choices made by Red Hat but all the technologies you cited except maybe GTK+/GNOME are widely successful in term of market adoption.
1) Range - short range compared to 250 or 300 miles of ICE cars. 2) Price - Why do EVs cost 2x or more compared to ICE cars when EVs have fewer amount of hardware components?
Both of these issues are related to batteries. On the Tesla model S, the battery alone is as expensive as a new mid-range car (about $20-30k) and weights more than a half ton. And this is barely enough for a general purpose car.
no, just make it illegal under penalty of long prison sentences for businesses to use public arrest records when considering hiring people. maybe if that hr person was afraid of squatting over a filthy toilet clutching her underwear while looking over her shoulder in fear, 4 times a day for 4 years, she might think twice about denying someone a job for being arrested in a police state. just saying.
No need for a prison sentence. She should simply be arrested and her employer notified...
The tech is mildly interesting, but it would suck to get locked out your phone because of a minor burn or a cut while making a hoagie.
Phone with fingerprint scanners usually have a backup password. Additionally, their tech seems to scan the underlayers of the skin and fingerprints start relatively deep, this is why they regrow the same way after being damaged. Maybe this can be used to detect the fingerprint even behind small scratches and burns.
MDMA, like many recreational drugs, may be an effective medication in some cases. However there are often practical reasons why they are not used : - there are non-abuseable or better alternatives - the effects are unpredictable (the main problem with psychedelics like LSD) - they are not that effective - there are too many side-effects - they are actually used but with a different name (Adderall is "speed") or in an different way (cocaine as a local anesthetic)
But once your payment has been processed and you walk out of the store with phone in hand, it's no longer "their" phone; it's "your" phone.
Not if you want to keep your manufacturer's warranty. If you don't care about it, then sure, you are free to do whatever you want with it. And it includes rooting and flashing custom ROMs, something that is easy to do on Samsung and Oppo phones without using exploits.
Additionally, there are many people paid to do this. And these people want to keep their jobs. And you don't want to piss off people who know all of your secrets. Just look what a single guy with apparently good intentions can do. Now imagine dozens of Snowdens with less pure intentions...
Can you please stop with this $xxx can end world hunger nonsense ? First of all, people don't eat money. So if there are 10 people and food for 9, you can give as much money as you want and it won't change the fact that one of them won't eat. Ok, so let's be a little smarter and use this money to better manage our agriculture. Now we have enough rations for everyone. World hunger ended... or is it ? Not yet, because we also have to prevent local chieftains from diverting this food supply and use it to assert their power. Basically, it means some kind of a police force is needed to make sure food really goes to who is hungry. Now we have food going to people in need. Word hunger ends... for now. Because, you see, in third world countries, birth rate is sky high, balanced by high mortality. Lower the mortality rate and you get exponential growth, which mean more demand for food, making the "food for everyone" program harder to maintain. So we need to either hope for a rapid transition or use drastic measures like China did with the one child policy.
As for war, it may be the most effective way to limit world hunger : war kills and dead people don't need to eat. A nightmarish reasoning that is hopefully flawed but I think not more so than your pipe dream.
Yes, you can obtain the speed by integrating the acceleration but with small, consumer-level hardware, the drift will quickly make the results unusable. Even million dollar inertial navigation systems like we find in some military vehicles must be complemented by other sources to stay accurate.

Bitcoin is STILL a thing? There's STILL idiots out there who thinks it has any value and willing to pay for it?
Wow... Just... Wow.
Yes, it still has value. Even more so now that the craze has died down. It is used more and more like a currency rather than for speculation.
Hide your bottles guys, the old witch is coming.

See also Glide vs OpenGL.
Good analogy.

Are their any governments left that DON'T do this as a matter of practice?
Greece, because they don't have the money.

I would think that metallic satellites would be good targets for RADAR VS. optical tracking.
Not sure. Cubes are not the best for radar tracking : convex shape, flat surfaces, sharp angles. These are actually the basis for stealth design.
