The level generator was tested with the original Super Mario? Has it been open sourced?
Or do we finally have an explanation for what sort of twisty brain wrote the "cat mario"/syobon levels?
Strawman; of course we are humans.
But this site's slogan is is news for nerds . What interest do nerds have of news about marriage rites?
And I don't mean the hipster neo-nerds who actually might grok sex or relationships. Not this site, no sirree. This site looks like it was designed in the 1990's. The upgrade to something looking like it was designed in the previous decade was shouted down. This is the last bastion of the honest-to-$DEITY, assembly-writing, coke-drinking, beer-bottle-bottom-spectacled elite.
I for one find people's preference in $EDITOR infinately more important and fascinating than their private social life (or, goes without saying, sexual preferences).
Sampling a few of the device's in your link, GP's claim that the devices can't be bought still seems to hold true, mostly.
For example, of the devices on the first page you link to:
Can't ship out of the US:
-Acer Chromebook 13 CB5-311-T1UU
-Acer Chromebook 13 CB5-311-T7NN
-NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet
-EVGA Tegra Note 7
-Nabi Big Tab (24")
Can be bought:
-NVIDIA SHIELD Portable
-Google Nexus 9
Dead link:
-HP Chromebook 14 G3
No wonder nVidia can't sell them, if people cannot buy them... I wonder if there is something in the Tegra itself that causes this, or if the link provided was just a happy coincidence to confirm GP's gut feel.
. "I think in general we haven't done enough to reach out and show young women that it's cool to do it [tech] and how much fun it can be,"
Do "we" reach out for the young men?
Nobody ever "reached out" for me, yet here I am. Have I just been living under a rock?
I know if everything were still under wraps the spying might not have cost tech companies anything in lost sales, but it seems unfair to suggest that Snowden is partly responsible
Everyone knew about the spying even before Snowdens leaks. Spies spy. This is not news. With the patriotism that seems to plague the USA, it is not a big stretch of the imagination to see how the secret police influences the industry. Closed source can't easily be audited, and every engineer knows how easy it is to hide backdoors in gadgets. Comms equipment standards (public, international ones) even mandate "lawful intercept" capabilities. Why would the secret police not utilize these, in secret? That they do it was not surprising, only the sheer volume and spectrum of what NSA can do was news.
What really is causing the shit to hit the fan - internationally - is not the spying. Its not even the proof Snowden showed that it is happening. Its the reaction from the press and politicians in the USA. The knee-jerk reaction was to say "but we don't spy on americans". I'm sure this sort of thinking is common in the USA, but it usually don't hit international news headlines.
Many people still thought of USA as "us", not "them", before this uproar. But piss on your customers, and they might want to go elsewhere.
Sure, Snowden's whistleblowing was as important in the causal chain to this perceived loss to the US industry. But so was NSA doing the spying in the fist place. Neither of them are to blame for the losses, though.
That can't be it, I've never heard of any of the USA presidents until they became presidents.
Except Geroge Bush, of course. And I hear that if the Democrats win this time, its going to be Clinton again.
TFA:
the Debian developers and the security research community advised everyone who was possibly affected at the time to regenerate their keys.
However, it seems that a lot of people didn't listen and those weak keys are still used today
Didn't listen? How about that for a elitistic attitude! This is the main problem and cause for computer insecurities. I would give long odds that the number of people who both herad AND understood the warning, yet failed to take action can be counted with your fingers without even using base-2.
We end-users need to be spoon-fed (force-fed) the security. The correct action here would have been for (e.g. Github) to revoke these sort of keys already back then. Because while it is unreasonable to expect all end-users to take action, it is reasonable to expect (e.g. Github) to have a security professional to be alert and make that descision for us.
Well, better late than never, and slip-ups happen sometimes. Lets hope there wasn't too much damage.
Personally though, I hate both your attitudes because your emotions and politics get in the way of rational, logical evolution of the science behind the issue.
I sort of agree, but then, do we have time to wait for the 'logical evolution of the science'? Most science is done by making observations that prove hypotheses. In this case there is a slight problem with this way of making science. Once the observations are indisputable, its a bit too late to change things.
That is why I back 100% the hypothesis that leads the human race to clean up their act and (I hope) create technology that ultimately leads to a Star Trek sort of socialist utopia.
Even if it costs current-day industrialists their last million in bonuses.
Of course half the population in the USA hate him.
FTFY.
I challenge you to find two people outside of the USA who hate Snowden.
Matlab? Dreaded? Why?
I don't like it. But its good for its purpose, I find.
Is it? "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these" (the Bible, Mark 12:31) On the other hand, if we allow a bit of forward-looking, soon there will be a lot more neighbours to love. And "the need of the many outweigh the need of the few" (that other Star* series).
I guess developing an area for its zoned purpose can't really be thought of like any sort of "revenge" by any sane person. Seems like there isn't going to be tower blocks built there...
If I'd happen to work in the Swedish puvblic sector, what I'd want to know first is:
does it run systemd?

I might as well read The Onion.
What T.Cook says or doesn't say is insignificant compared to what the influx of the american (western) culture that comes from selling the Apple (and similar) stuff does to these countries' human (and similar) rights. It might not be evident instantly, but the base currents are changing.
I've never been to Indiana, but I guess the case is pretty different there, so a more direct approach might be needed.
