Can we just go full VR with this, ala Oculus ? Just put a headset on before you get in the car. The opportunities would be endless ! First of all, it could repaint the entire interior to look like whatever sports coupe, vintage classic or whatever your dream car is. You could be launching virtual. very satisfactory rockets at the jackass who just blocked your turn, create imaginary, optionally naked supermodels on passenger seats and so on ?
Or, we could come back to our senses and do basic animal tests for long term deep space exposure. Like, start from a small rotating artificial gravity satellite with lab rats, and if you really have balls, send a couple of chimps to loop around the mars and come back. We did that in early days no problem, and it retired a lot of early risks for humans.
In fact its super lame that we only have data points for humans spending time in microgravity and 1g, but nothing in between. So we have no curve to fit to partial or reduced gravity effects on health. After decades of multibillion dollar manned spaceflight investments, thats pathetic. The fact that we dont have a biological lab sitting outside of van Allen belts right now testing different radiation shielding approaches on rats is also pathetic.
To actually rest at ease in regards to my stored data, i want a solution that does redundant distribution of my data across 2 or more storage solutions - with something super cheap and slow like Amazon Glacier in the mix , with more than one paid service, and a physical backup of my own hard disks hooked to a local NAS box as well. And i want an option for self-hosting the front-end too.
So if something like Ubuntu pulls the plug, gets too expensive, fucks up their client, i dont have to worry about migrating my data or changing my workflows.
Um. Easily 90% of various consumer electronics media devices run on linux kernels. I would bet that if you count the streaming minutes for Netflix, definitely more than 50% of the userbase is on some sort of linux platform - including Android variants ofc.
.. netflix also works on any modern SmartTV, xbox, a fricking $35 chromecast dongle, Rokus and any number of other media boxes. It runs on pretty much anything with internet connection and RCA/HDMI connector https://www.netflix.com/Watch?...
Even Amazon VOD and Vudu have more cross platform clients than iTunes.
Not just 777, ever passenger airliner in service is built to float and make water landing mostly survivable. The life vest song that they sing before every takeoff and everyone sleeps through, is actually there for a good reason. Historically proven to work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W...
If it simply ran out of fuel, it should have made controlled water landing and likely floated, with plenty of people exiting the plane with life vests on.
Maybe size, too. Minimal statically linked GLIBC based executable was about 100K or more on ARM last time i checked, pulling in crap related to io, locales etc, that were never even referenced from the code. Bionic was much better.
So, why arent "in app purchases" considered gambling yet anyway ? I'm playing a nice game of.. lets say.. Boker here on my crappy android phone. Another in app purchase lets me play another round at the "high rollers" chat room.. why is that different than physically sitting at a table in Bellagio ?
Some real brilliant math here. Apache often runs on windows. You understand that the licensing costs and TCO of operating systems vs webservers is slightly different, yes ?
Except that in most cases, headers dont declare just the public API, but bring in a ton of implementation details. Unless you are using PIMPL or bridge design a lot.
Both come with their own downsides. Or unless you are using.. fast PIMPL without the allocation overhead, but then did C++11 give you out of the box template for implementing fast PIMPL ? Of course not.
It will give you a pretty dumb version of a 2D rasterization library with outdated narrow usage drawing primitives, which i am going to run on which realtime-critical Cortex-M MCU that will never have a display exactly ?
Going in the right direction, sure.
Maybe a better idea is to pull up Joint Strike Fighter coding guidelines and think hard and long about how to make the language more make a bit more sense, so that 142 page document could be around 20 instead.
I don't remember Nissan tooling around car shows showing off one useless and impractical EV concept after another before they unveiled Leaf in pretty much in it's production configuration.
There is a parallel universe of concept cars somewhere, where you can drive a microturbine powered Jaguar, solar charged Ford, Mitsubishi EVO with in-wheel motors and ATTESA-like control, there are probably a bunch of nuclear powered Ford Nucleons whizzing about as well, and everyone swaps batteries in project Better Places station like there is no tomorrow. The logo of Shell is largely replaced by Duracell in cityscapes.
Meanwhile in the real world, we can all buy a Tesla Model S for a low starting price of cool $70K or thereabouts and hope they install a fast charger somewhere close by. And of course, wait in line.
Because its on the Moon, and its quite different from MER/MSL ? This is not about nationalism, this is about robots.
Yutu is a teleoperated machine that responds to commands in about 3 seconds, Mars rovers are also essentially teleoperated but take about 20 minutes to an hour to respond.
No robot had landed on the moon since 1976. I notice the Moon in the sky a lot often than i notice Mars - thats a comeback that counts.

PolarSSL, CyaSSL, SharkSSL are my go to choices. CyaSSL even offers limited API compatibility with OpenSSL.
Botan is also a good alternative if you are writing in decently modern C++.
Because Java security implementations are WIDELY KNOWN to be super secure...
If you have TV or any other internet connected consumer electronics elsewhere in your house, in 98% of the cases you run Linux there too.
The Onion guys figured this out a long time ago

Hey, we even had a grassroots program : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M... - got no real support or funding by NASA.

"only such successful landing" is completely BS - do even a brief google search on water landings.
Most recent one : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...
Every breathlessly hyped media "miracle" story isn't quite always.

Wow, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W...
Most of these are largely survivable, you'll note.
If it simply ran out of fuel, it should have made controlled water landing and likely floated, with plenty of people exiting the plane with life vests on.

Doing something like this for free for a company is one of the best ways to get hired.

And if you connect to a "server", you already lost.
Only truly decentralized solutions will save you. Neither Skype or WhatsApp ever were that.
"Internet" is broken at many layers, starting from DNS and SSL, fix the trust models first and everything else can follow after.
Some real brilliant math here. Apache often runs on windows. You understand that the licensing costs and TCO of operating systems vs webservers is slightly different, yes ?
Exactly. Plus C++11 has given us new tools to do sig/slots way more efficiently now.
I dont like either, but gtkmm is more C++ than Qt's SIGNAL/SLOT preprocessor
Time for a completely new take that actually uses what C++11 ( and boost bits ) have to offer
Oh, also finally coming up with an ABI standard for the thing would be a big help, thank you !
