Not just Uhuru, the regular cast also had Japanese, Russian, Scottish and of course Vulcan characters.
Hard to realise the significance of a Russian character as one of the good guys at the height of the cold war.
And then of course you had episodes that were dedicated to condemning racism, such as "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" where the aliens were half black, half white.
And of course having Kirk and Uhuru kiss was quite literally "pushing it in the viewer's face", at a time when segregation was still an issue in some US states.
If you have a problem with diversity in 2018, you are an asshole.
Who are you quoting with the "inventing" in quotes?
Musk is not an inventor. Who's saying he is? He is what he says he is - an engineer. And engineers construct from existing technologies and improve them.
And there's plenty of value in that. The Slashdot hive-mind is fucking ridiculous with this stupid idea that nothing ever has an value if there was prior art. There's always prior art.
I believe there's essentially 2 main approaches they are proposing to take to make boring faster. 1) Smaller diameter. Because the amount of spoil is a squared function of the diameter, a reduction in diameter helps a lot. 2) The traditional machines bore a section, then stop to put in the tunnel lining. The proposal is for continuous boring, with tunnel lining put in whilst the boring machine is still propelling itself forward.
They also propose to create the tunnel linings on site, using the spoil material coming out of the tunnel. So that's more environmentally friendly and presumably cheaper.
But it depends what sort of app it is. Motion, GPS, Games, Camera, VR etc, you probably do want to use device rather than simulator. And it doesn't take much longer to do so.
I don't think there's any need for fat binaries. The App Store and The Mac Store are separate places. Different download for users, different upload for developers.
Same XCode project for both, same code, compiling for 2 different targets.
A developer would probably want to deliver them on a different schedule anyway. Different testing plan. And quite likely different bugs to fix.
Already tried it. There's a simulator in XCode that does exactly that. And it makes for a terrible user experience.
What Apple are doing now is the right approach for user facing apps. Make iOS apps compilable for OSX, but allow for changing the things that are different on the desktop OS. Like resizable windows, typing and editing with a real keyboard, target sizes suitable for mouse pointer rather than finger, different transitions, a menu etc.
First there was cruise control. It maintained speed. Then there was adaptive cruise control. It maintained speed and distance from the car in front. Now there's autopilot. It maintains speed, distance from the car in front, follows lanes and assists with overtaking.
At no stage did anyone say you could take your focus off the road with any of them. And there's no need to revert to older technology because some people are stupid.
This is a silly meme. There's no evidence whatsoever that people driving Teslas don't know that autopilot is an assistive technology, not one that drives itself without monitoring.
Sure, some people have done stupid things to override the failsafe that checks for hands on the steering wheel. And some have even then got into the passenger seat or even the back of the car.
But they've done this in spite of knowing what the autopilot system does, not because they are ignorant of it.
It applies to all users. Apple computers and software just tend to be better designed. The tendency with Windows and Linux is for programmers not to ever rhink and make decisions. They offload all decisions to users, and end up with baroque software that is difficult to use.
Sure there is. You could have options for everything. But the more options you have, the harder it is for users to find the option they want.
In this case there's no good reason to hand the decision over to users anyway. Almost none will be interested in changing it, or even be aware that there's such a feature or what it's for.
Who said anything about construction companies making complex GPS maps? There's nothing in my message that implies that. I guess you didn't understand it.
At some stage autopilot will start taking input from GPS, just as I do at night on a dark road, to see ahead for any significant bends in the road to be at an appropriate speed, and be ready to turn. With GPS getting more and more accurate, autopilot would perhaps see the difference between the road markings it can see and the GPS track, and slow right down.
Why didn't it see the barrier? One online theory is that there was another vehicle in front that wanted to make the turn onto the off-ramp, but wasn't in lane. So it wandered into divider area, whilst finding a gap in the off-ramp traffic. And the Tesla followed it. And that the other vehicle pulled in at the last moment, leaving the Tesla suddenly faced with the barrier.
We do know that a human might easily have made the same error, as the safety barrier was destroyed the previous day by another driver. Poor road layout.
In the UK, that area would always be cross hatched. Always. So no one could mistake it for a lane.

Maybe it's not meant for you. Maybe it's, you know, meant for kids.
Has anyone insisted you watch it?

ABC's reaction with Rosanne was still a profit based decision. They feared losing advertisers.
Facebook isn't a former colony. HTH.
What's more likely. He's done nothing. Or you don't know what he's done?

Agreed. I'm the same.
But it depends what sort of app it is. Motion, GPS, Games, Camera, VR etc, you probably do want to use device rather than simulator. And it doesn't take much longer to do so.
No. There's no point in sharing libraries between apps in this day and age. Storage devices are large, and code binaries are relatively small.
I don't think there's any need for fat binaries. The App Store and The Mac Store are separate places. Different download for users, different upload for developers.

Yeah, that must be it. There's something you understand that Tesla doesn't. They should hire you.
"The hardware needed". They don't say they have the software for it yet.
But there are mountains. And tall buildings.
First there was cruise control. It maintained speed.
Then there was adaptive cruise control. It maintained speed and distance from the car in front.
Now there's autopilot. It maintains speed, distance from the car in front, follows lanes and assists with overtaking.

Neither has Slashdot.

There are plenty of things that are free. You (and others of your political persuasion) just don't know what the definition of free is,
It applies to all users.

The tendency with Windows and Linux is for programmers not to ever rhink and make decisions. They offload all decisions to users, and end up with baroque software that is difficult to use.
A default doesn't take away the problem of too many options for users to find anything.
Generally speaking, options need to be fought against. They need to justify the real estate they use. This wouldn't.
Sure there is. You could have options for everything. But the more options you have, the harder it is for users to find the option they want.
In this case there's no good reason to hand the decision over to users anyway. Almost none will be interested in changing it, or even be aware that there's such a feature or what it's for.
Tesla aren't using GPS as an input to steering. They only use it to mark out regions where Autopilot is/isn't allowed and speed limits.
Who said anything about construction companies making complex GPS maps? There's nothing in my message that implies that. I guess you didn't understand it.
You are making assumptions too.
Sounds like a Wile E. Coyote trick.
At some stage autopilot will start taking input from GPS, just as I do at night on a dark road, to see ahead for any significant bends in the road to be at an appropriate speed, and be ready to turn. With GPS getting more and more accurate, autopilot would perhaps see the difference between the road markings it can see and the GPS track, and slow right down.
