Agreed about maintenance, but yeah, CA registration is that much more.

I don't know where you get this idea; they talk a lot about the connections between columns and how they reinforce each other.

Cloud rendering is a fantasy for games on flat screens, because the latency is too high. To maintain 'presence' and not get sick in VR, the motion-to-photons latency has to be _consistently_ <20ms. 360 video for VR is certainl

Unfortunately, I think you're correct. Anecdote: I used Erlang, over the course of several years, for very-high-level bot behavior and multi-player mission control, where performance was much less important than the things Erlang provi

I don't have time to read through the thread today, but I did before the Rift kickstarter was announced, and my impression has always been that the software-distortion-in-compensation-for-simpler-optics[1] idea was already out there wh

Cyberneticists are not ignorant of your viewpoint. You may be right 'ultimately', but you might find your views refined if you actually dug into the arguments. Stafford Beer addresses "variety reduction" in the first of

I don't know a lot about chess, but I would try picking several prolific players with what seem to you to be different styles, and training a classifier to identify the player, as an experiment in viability.

Thank you! I looked pretty hard for a OneTab-like extension for FF about a year ago, and couldn't find one. It's the one thing I really miss about Chrome; making my own was on my TODO list.

I don't know what you mean by "major city," but I look in Milwaukee every six months or so. There simply aren't any "independent ISPs" here with remotely comparable speeds or prices.

The use of Doom3 in the Kickstarter (I remember feeling like Carmack had given his seal of approval), definitely provides Zenimax with ammo, and I agree, it could be ugly. Like so many other (game) programmers, Carmack is a hero of mine, an

I owned a BeBox and used it as my desktop for several years, til it stopped posting. The use of its relational-database-like filesystem, for email and organizing my music, was such a joy. I once wrote a _MacOS_ shareware review site for a

I worked in a hospital, and saw similar things, but I think the moral of the story is that huge organizations operate internally more like a feudal oligarchy. They crystallize, regardless of the external market.

It definitely _looks_ spammy. I think what's absent from this discussion, though, is that these are bands with a 'taper' culture, and the app is only useful for these, niche bands. If an Umphrey's McGee fan (I've s

I agree with you in the short term, and disagree in the ideal/long-term. I think we can replace this pachinko machine of representative democracy, not with some one or two dimensional direct-democracy, but with the kind of thing that c

Chunkhost has the same specs at the $9 price point as DO, though they claim 2 cpus (obviously could be apples and oranges). It's Xen, like DO and EC2, and they use ECC ram. They also have this "hardware upgrade" thing that m

Wow, the one submission I've made anywhere that hit the front page, and I'm kicking myself for the title. 'Belt' is really their name for the category of machine architecture in the sense of register and stack machines.
