I'm worried because I still play Diablo 2, which I'm pretty sure requires OpenGL and I'm pretty sure Blizzard is *not* going to port it to metal.
Why am I playing such an old game? Why should you care? But in my household it has been, and still is, the most played game by everyone. There's a certain amount of game de jour, but in the long term, it always goes back to Diablo 2.
I just realized it will put the final nail in the coffin for the orphaned 3d suite I use. Which sucks, but I've been afraid of OS updates killing it without anything this drastic (not an idle concern as that actually happened while it was still being supported). And the suite is not readily replaced -- it fit a rather specific niche and nothing else does what it did.
Damn.
Again, it's NOT going away today, tomorrow, or maybe even EVER.
Those two standards are just being DEPRECATED. Apple will continue to include those Libraries in macOS for a LONG time.
Your Diablo is safe.
So when Apple comes out with new GPUs in later this year, or next your, do you think they are going to write OpenGL drivers for them?
I do not. This deprecation is to same them the effort, which means we will soon have even more than usually crippled and crappy Macs.
People who do more than 60hz are ID:10Ts. Your eyes cannot resolve more than about 50fps anyway.
Your eyes can resolve some 300fps, but you can't usually resolve a 4K resolution screen at most sizes and distances. Right now screens are lacking human vision in frequency and dynamic range, and even 120Hz HDR is far from the human limits.
What makes you think all other conferences are any different?
At least in tech we also have contributors conferences where the speakers are talking technically about new stuff they are doing, or discussing new techniques, etc.
These 'youtubers' are basically self employed, if they look at it like an actual job they would realize their employer is overworking them. Just take a vacation to avoid burn-out, it's not like they even have to ask anyone for permission. Or is greed getting in the way of what used to be fun?
The problem is that they are the boss, so as the boss hey force their employees (themselves) to release new content every week on schedule, or else!
The german manufacturers don't have the structure to keep up with Tesla at this point. Tesla uses vertical integration to cut the costs of the middleman(the auto suppliers and the dealer network in this case). They produce a lot of key subassemblies themselves, where other's subcontract to various levels. Traditionnal car OEMs can't do the vertical integration today.
And other car manufacturers actually deliver cars. Millions of cars where Tesla can't even produce a few thousand 2 years late without have to recall or update them every two months to fix serious quality issues.
Sounds reasonable. Keep in mind that the $28K is just parts and labor. It does not include a share of fixed costs -- overhead, debt servicing, operating costs, taxes... etc. My experience with that sort of accounting is tangential (IANAA) and not really applicable to mass manufacturing. But the costs of running a business tend to be pretty impressive.
If, and that's a big if, they actually release the source code and don't do what Microsoft does which is to talk about it, but never do it.
Or like Apple, release it to begin with, but then slowly forget to update their opensource website with new software releases, until the open source parts of the iPhone haven't been released for the last 4 years despite their browser engine being LGPL.
The number of households with fridges and air conditioners is growing exponentially. Would hundreds of Asian cities with millions of households with leaky ACs not throw up a plume? https://www.washingtonpost.com...
Only if they got hold of still working 30 year old air conditioners, or someone have started making 1980s tech air-cons again.
Look at the map. The plume is the densest over Hawaii and spreads east from there, there is very little west of it. I had no idea Hawaii was classified as East Asia though..
The Pro version was never meant for Professionals? Yeah, they appear to be moving towards Apple definition of just making Pro the name for consumers with more money, but no specific professional needs.
HPKP allows the operator to declare this certificate or bust to regular users. Certificate transparency offers no such capability.
Certificate transparency only provides "transparency". It doesn't allow operators to set declarative limits on what is acceptable.
Pretty sure CT includes an option for websites to require their certifice must be a transparent, which means it would be detected if it was false, though not necessarily in real time.
There was a fair bit of sarcasm in there, but "Charge enough to cover costs" is a lot more complex when you need to run up more capacity AND your market is artificially saturated by users that will evaporate if you increase pricing to cover the increased capacity.
Then what you need to do is find the evaporation point, and set the pricing there, until enough evaporate to balance things out:)
It effectively stops listening. While it can detect the key phrase locally, it needs cloud support for command processing, and disabling it is thus important to save bandwidth, so it is imporant it works. Plus we could detect if it still did so by checking firewall logs in the wifi router.
You misunderstand - They *do* take privacy very seriously: it interferes with their profit margins and they're doing their best to eliminate it without triggering excessive consumer backlash.
As yourself this: Does this incident make you substantially less likely to buy or use one of their home surveillance devices, or were you already committed to one camp or the other? If there's no substantial change, then they're doing an effective job of limiting backlash.
Which would mean they only care about it to the point where the public finds out. If it accidentenly had send it Amazon, they wouldn't care.
Strange that no European or Japanese car has those problems. Why should a camera not be able to detect how high a sign is? Or a radar system?
They all have that problem. A radar can't do it because it only detects distance and a 2D direction. Not a 3D one. A camera could in theory, but it is not reliable with current tech, plus a single camera has no depth perception.
It can't be that much for the sensors, my Mazda has a camera that reads road signs, a radar to check the speed of the car in front of me for adaptive cruise control and collision avoidance. It can scold me for drifting out of my lane. The expensive part is the processing power and software to figure out how to use that information as well as a human.
The problem is that with only a radar instead of a lidar it can't tell if it can drive under an obstacle such as a road sign over the road. So the result has been that the cheap sensor packages ignores object is determines are stationary, which means that it will ram into stationary objects in its path, like Teslas do currently.
And if they seem alien with some separate evolutions they could be "aliens" from the deep sea, that evolved dowb there and then evolved back to being able to live higher in the ocean.
Why are you not thinking of the Children? Are you some kind of sociopath?
Are you being sarcastic? "Why won't anyone think of the children" is a meme.
In case you are not. The reason it is a problem is that child obductions happens all the time and 95% of time it's by one of the child's parent and the whole thing just a divorce squable raised to a state alert because one parent didn't return the kid on time and their other decided to escalate the matter without informing the police about who had the kid. If people receive 19 false alarms for ever real alarm you are going wear them out and the system becomes worse that pointless as people will be much less likely to take real alarms serious.
He was abducted by his mother. Be on the lookout for an 8 year old boy with his mother from a town 15 hours away.
I have no clue how anyone who doesn't personally know the family would be able to pick this pair out from a text alert.
I can only imagine they may have wanted to be sure domestic airlines, car rental companies or bus lines were aware that these two might be getting out of town. Surely there must be a better way.
There are better ways for that. Manhunts are common and the police has official lines to put out calls for arrest of people to airports. Not sure about rental companies though.
Slashdot Mirror
Nope traffic to Slashdot has plummeted and is not a factor. Anyway all coverage here is negative so why would anyone bother to read this garbage.
And absolutely no one comments here any more. At all.

But you need to run OS X 10.10 for some magical reason because the new version of the browser uses... eh, what exactly?
Why does it need 10.10?
Because that is that is the oldest version still supported by Apple. Getting things to work on OS versions abandoned by their maker is difficult.
But yes, it is an entirely artificial limitation, but one mainly set by Apple.
Certificate transparency = distributed HPKP

Well then good news. NPM isn’t a serious web application. It’s an amateur hour piece of software.
No it is obviously a teapot.
WHO are these people with $27000 to spend on a single video game... ?
Whales

Well these "new" commands are a lot older than systemd, so don't blame it on systemd. If there is any causality it has to be the other way.

No. Next question!
And if they seem alien with some separate evolutions they could be "aliens" from the deep sea, that evolved dowb there and then evolved back to being able to live higher in the ocean.
