>a release in 120 days is immediate (those days are to begin a transition to post-prision life, not punishment).
120 days in prison is still 120 days in prison. Immediate is 0 days in prison. Therefore, 120 days in prison is not immediate. Entirely regardless of the reasons the prison-industrial complex comes up with -- the prisoner is still kept in there against s/h/its will, so it's exactly equivalent to punishment.
Of course the tea timer application works offline. The music player will play music from the phone's flash ROM. Saved PDFs will display. Cached e-mails can be read, and others written to be send when connectivity returns.
But things like "Reddit is fun" straight up don't work offline. The application doesn't hit the servers to cache up the most recent 48h of stuff on your front page. It's crippled without connectivity, despite being fancy enough for a standalone application. And this is the direction where we're headed, because city people think everywhere has 4G.
So how come your comment doesn't at all relate to the substitution of fundamental skill with the chasing of "the tool that'll wipe my ass, this time for sure"? The computing equivalent of toilet paper was invented far before Java, after all.
Having a workable offline mode is what separates general-purpose computing from smart terminals. Useful operation despite having spotty connectivity, or none at all, is required of applications that're not just a native front-end to some gone-tomorrow cloud backend horsepuckey.
So let's hope Google's example in this regard catches on. We have gigabytes upon gigabytes of spare room for caches on most Android hardware; how about putting it to use?
It takes roughly half an hour to process a batch of E-6 in your bathroom, not including the initial mixing of the relevant chemical baths (which tend to be usable for 15 to 18 rolls per litre). Another hour to dry, and another hour to cut, scan (per two rolls), and store it. From there it's exactly the workflow of digital postprocessing.
So hardly as much work as you make it out to be. Certainly not three days.
I do agree that E-6 is a bit of a weird thing to be doing, especially in small format, in the era of digital sensors that pretty much beat it at the high end while suffering the same exposure characteristics. Supposedly slides are far superior to digital projection, and I could very well be persuaded to agree -- but at the same time, digital projection is kind of very crap these days at the low end, just like any other digital display technology.
Certainly a DRAM-derivative chip will have literal assloads of space for LUTs. But it'll lack the other magic-sauce component of those other reprogrammable logic devices, FPGAs and CPLDs: routing. The result is typically a non-pipelined quasi-CPU with as big a machine state as there's dedicated RAM for it (somewhere around 40 bits at most, these days), on top of which a proper CPU gets written (using some other ginormous chunk of RAM).
And this ain't new, or difficult, or novel in any way.
What I wonder is how this stuff made it into an article about an up-and-coming DRAM-derivative memory technology.
Smalltalk is a horrible language that uses punctuation for syntax, and a "program image snapshot" style runtime. It should be interred and left to rot for either of those reasons.
It's almost as though traditional taxi business had the business part down, so that there's no more cream to be had off the top. So Uber is left trying to undercut the existing, profitable, business and its non-employee drivers at the same time, shouting "disruption! disruption!" into the sunset like so many noisy startup wankers used to do.
So I wonder how many countries they can take in this way in the coming two to three years.

Well, it's close enough to call him a liar and a fraud and a KGB collaborator and whatever else. So, clearly what the US government ordered.
Now let's see if this is enough to flush Assange out where charges of Swedish rape weren't. My money is on "not".

But I don't. Read the comment over.
To stop compensating for insufficient skill with the perpetual study of new tools.
We don't need another "bad ML in Lisp's clothes" language.
I wonder if these were conscripts rather than hired personnel.
Vinyl recordings, magnetic tape, photo film. All are on the slow uptick since a few years ago.
Yes, yes it does.
Guess they don't want their prototypes back, then.
That's to say: no, it isn't.
Move along now, nothing to see here.

What does it do to the environmental cost of coal extraction?

No, ma'm, a pain in the asterisk is usually related to a bit too much TeXmEx.
Can we name it the semicolon?
That's a good flame right there. Almost like it's september again.

Whatever the fancy term for hindsight is (selection bias? or some such), it's clearly unavoidable in any study of 6.
Did they find an absence of these signs in the works of artists who didn't die of nervous system degenerative disease?
