Ubuntu and its derivatives have hardly killed off less user-friendly distributions like Gentoo, Slackware, Arch or even Debian. On a broader scale, Chromebooks may be gaining popularity but they will not be replacing the ultrabook or even the netbook so easily. No single method of messaging has ever come close to replacing email. No matter how FOSS it becomes, Windows is not going to displace Linux or BSD distros when it comes to servers. Bitnami is not going to stop people rolling their own web applications and solution stacks.

Slack has its use-cases. Collaborative chat for non-tech people who either do not want customisation, or cannot be trusted with it, to communicate rapidly from any device and easily integrate with popular filesharing/social media applications in private channels. Sounds great but it's bloody specific when you think about it.

In a way, if you were to slap Microsoft Office apps into it, Slack would be what Office365 should have been. And it may yet prove to be an Office365 killer. but it is not going to displace IRC. As another comment has said, IRC filters users by their ability to actually learn about it, rather like cryptocurrencies--they're not very complicated at entry level but there is an entry hurdle that precludes any old numpty from joining in. IRC has long been a haven for people who want to avoid at least a percentage of the web's numpties.

Slack won't even replace forums because fundamentally a Slack team has no identity, no creative control. I can't see SomethingAwful or Hacker News being replaced by Slack. It's not even just about style/design: HN's arc implementation, and basically any community's solution stack, is part of what makes it a separate entity. Slack is too impersonal, too clinical to make for much of a walled garden as many forums seem to be.

My bad, when iGPU were first announced, GT 1030 is barely two years old as mentioned in the article.

Anyway having iGPU inside an entry level Intel's CPU with a potential of 32 GB of RAM is amazing. The performance is probably not that far off from my old high end Asus ROG gaming laptop that I bought in 2014 with Nvidia GTX 700 series GPU.

The laptop with the entry level iGPU will probably cost less than 20% of the original ROG laptop but now can supports up to three 4K monitors!

If Asus can resurrect their infamous Netbook series laptop or cheap laptop lines with these new entry level CPUs with iGPU I bet it can sell them like hot cakes.

Its not a payment system (unless the transaction is sufficiently large).

It's more like digital gold. But gold has a track record of holding value over millennia. Bitcoin is only a decade old. Will it hold up over time? Nobody actually knows.
PowerShell maps plaintext to objects without issue. No need to drop down into bytestreams.

In the following example, 'choco' (Chocolatey) outputs a list of outdated packages in a consistent format (--limit-output). The text output is piped to the ConvertFrom-CSV PowerShell CmdLet, which maps the text output from choco into a PowerShell object.

```ps1
choco outdated --limit-output | ConvertFrom-csv -Delimiter '|' -Header 'name','version','v-new','pin'
```

For what it's worth, STDERR is already colorized in PowerShell too.
You could be right with all of this, I don't know. But worth considering that people have been saying "X have no value as art" since the invention of art. So it might be useful to see if there is other problems than just if it's actually "valuable as art" or whatever.
Ports and keyboard. That's worth something in real money.
This opened as tab #26 on my Firefox Android because half a year later the bizarre tab handling is still unchanged. Sigh.

And why does Mozilla have a "small team" working on Firefox Android? Their flagship product on the operating system with the largest install base.

Tech itself is the exception that proves the rule. Its progress is so strong that it's becoming less expensive in spite of inflationary policy.
There is a plan and you will see the results of it as soon as in the next 10-15 years. European Union is a failed experiment and the British have realised that. It acts as a union only on paper, in reality it's a complete disaster and sooner rather than later it will collapse like Yugoslavia. The British saw through that and decided to leave the sinking ship. Good for them, I wish my country never joined the EU in the first place.
I have a few friends who are journalists/reporters at news sites of varying prestige.

They are all a fairly cynical bunch. I think the industry turns the brightest and bushiest tailed into absolute curmudgeons.
It sounds like something I would have heard in some movie scene that's building up suspense. Hearing it makes me think something is about to go very wrong or the protagonist is barely making it through some scary ordeal by the skin of their teeth. It's oddly familiar.

If you dig around in the other exceptions in the document I've linked you'll see there are multiple places where patent protection and protection of human life are discussed.

I know where I sit on the patent validity continuum already, but I also know other people are furiously bouncing on the other end of that seesaw.

In case anyone from Netflix is reading here. Why does Netflix make it so easy for my 2nd grader to watch shows like Orange is the new smut? The only way I know to prevent her having access is to set my user to "Teen". If mine is set to "Adult", all she needs to do is click my Netflix user button. If you think 2nd graders are not watching that show, that is bull. I have a friend from another country whose daughter was watching it and bragged about it to a substitute teacher.

I started taking vitamin d when I started my professional life as a software engineer after my studies. I had a minor winter depression, and I’ve never stopped taking. Since then I’ve had no colds at all. Of course this is anecdotal, but I think a LOT of people in western society could benefit from taking 2000-4000 IU daily throughout the year
Yeah, these customers who care enough about this stuff will also drop you if you make the slightest mistake. And with $3/user/mo you don't have much margin.

You'll get wrecked. But there's good business in it if I'm wrong. So I wish you good luck.
This reminds me of a talk of Linus Torvalds. From this perspective, mastery can be seen as an acquired taste that came after doing a large volume of work.
But if your apartment is large, and you need coverage in your bathroom at the other side of it, you need more power.... this can't be automated, and manufacturers prefer higher range to users calls to support and helping them raise the power manually (especially when compared to an old AP, which had that range).
If you're optimizing for a career or something, then it's probably prudent to learn the latest and greatest fad.

This strategy predates and doesn’t require the internet. I was acquainted with a drug dealer had a cleaning van. All her clients were given cleaning invoices. She lived in a very respectable condo. I’ve heard the IRS can send investigators to figure this out but I doubt they have many resources.
For how many years do you want to keep defining embedded as single core, no MMU with a relatively low clock?

And in the same vein : settopboxes are considered embedded. TiVo's are.

> But cost of healthcare is astronomical in part because malpractice insurance is expensive, because too many people abuse it.

You pulled the “trigger a European” card.
This is not why the US healthcare is astronomically high. The reason is: practically no meaningful regulation and thus free roaming oligopolies of a few providers with insane billing practices (which hospitals are covered, etc.). And much more...
What a funny-mess. As a joke I got it. Better invest in education, or craft it from wood, but not plastic!
Your right.. People generally don't sue as much here in northern europe(only know the rules are like op described in Germany, Denmark, Norway and Sweeden, might be the same for all of europe) in fear of loosing, but i for one prefer it this way, much less lawsuits flying around. And also it goes both ways, as the little guy you are also less likely to be sued.

And let's be real, how often do a normal person sue big corps like the ones you mention and actually win ?
Electric stovetop usually refers to the type with a heating coil. In my experience these are awful.

Induction stovetops, while also electric, use a induction to heat the pan directly instead of relying on conducting heat from a heating coil. In my experience these are great and will heat a pot to a boil much faster than any gas stove I've used so far. Not to mention having more than two settings on your stove is lovely for temperature management.

The terminology is confusing, but such is life.
That is fine, what I meant is scammers will use this opportunity to grab more data from you under the guise of you checking to see if you old details are present or not & end up giving new PII as well

This has honestly been my biggest overall frustration with Apple since I began using their products. I've got a hackintosh, but it's been a nightmare to setup and maintain. It's currently out of commission because Yosemite broke iMessage and I would rather not switch back to Mavericks.
Your statements could be totally reasonable. Difficulty in a game can be good or bad, it all depends on why and how it's difficult. If that tough level is hard because it's well designed as an interesting challenge and you can get past it with practice and thought and it remains interesting while you do that, it's good design. If that tough level is hard because it's unpredictable and requires excessive luck to get past and forces you to go through lots of tedious replays when you fail, it's bad design.

I have no idea which category this falls into, just pointing out that your examples can be legitimate.
I currently have a laptop that does 1900x1200, that I purchased a few years back. I don't want anything less than that if at all possible: I can keep a lot of code on the screen at the same time.
Oh boy, I wonder. It couldn't possibly be that they are going to focus on a secure way to do computing by any chance.
Well this is a situation where I don't mind not having privacy.

By the way, how about battery life?

According to this article, it has 5h of battery life.

Hi tuananh,

Can you give me some links that tell me more about this thing.

Thanks in advance.
If correct, that's really, really bad. Trying to download some random project from there just gives me a .deb, though, which I am hardly going to install.

I imagine it's OS-sniffing, so any Windows users around to confirm?
Do you sit closer to your laptop than to your phone? I know in general I don't, and whilst I can certainly appreciate the quality inherent in a very high resolution screen I'm not clamouring for one. I got a MBA 13" over a MBPr as I thought the screen difference wasn't high enough for the tradeoffs.
I am not going to upgrade atleast for a year.
What would you recommend me then ??
my MB has 4 slots...
Link is broken. Anyone have a mirror?
Sure there is, Google has fairly fine-grained tracking control.

The privacy control where I disable location tracking and half a year later when I look in Google Dashboard I see months of travel history?

I respect that others aren't. I'm not naive in my acceptance.

So what do you do in a situation where your use of Google's data collection also affects people who do mind it? I would not be comfortable visiting a friend with an always-listening device like Alexa or Google's equivalent.

I nuked my paid Google Apps account a couple of months ago. I had enough of their total disrespect for privacy. E.g. conversations that I had in Google Mail (which is protected by the Google Apps agreement) were used for suggestions, etc. in Google+ (which is not covered by the Google Apps agreement and uses data for targeted advertising).
PG doesn't brag incessantly. Both produce a large stream of consciousness that may have nice tidbits and sayings. But the real test is to see if such ideas can be turned into a consistent algorithm or formulas that one can test via historical scenarios or in practice. Just because you have a cool-sounding idea doesn't mean it will usually fly in practice.

T has made some interesting claims about success in business, but they conflict with works such as Dale Carnegie's classic HTWFAIP, which better matches life as I have observed it. But some trolls and demagogues do gain success as counted in money and power. There is more to one strategy in life, but HTWFAIP is probably easier for the average person to use effectively. Plus, trolls and demagogues tend to generate new regulations that prevent later T&D's from pulling the same tricks. There's kind of a first-mover-advantage to jerk-hood, like people selling Purell at huge markups.
there is absolutely no shame in reporting people to the government or the police who threaten the health of others by throwing a house party in the midst of a full blown pandemic, and to compare it to Stasi surveillance or whatever is disingenious and ignorant.

No new programming language for me (at least this won't be my main learning point in the coming year).

Instead I'll focus on: market/product (customer dev, shippping, charging) + data techniques (nlp).
Science tells us what is true, it does not tell us what to do about it. What to do is up to people - we need to get together and look at the situation and the trade-offs and agree on a way forward. 'Trust the science' is a lame excuse for not engaging with the discussion.
Make Arc use all cores. Although it's already multi-threaded, all threads use a single processor. Or make Arc scale out on multiple machines by modifying its webserver to shard based on username.

If this works it can run HackerNews.

The world would be a better place if subversion didn't exist. As long as the North Koreans keep using it they won't get very far. Maybe Will Scott is funded by the CIA if he's promoting that over git...
I switched from Python and Go to Haskell over the last year. Haskell takes much longer to compile than Go and cabal hell can really suck. Other than that it's been absolutely fantastic.
It can be true if you take it as a given that they want to use the Cell processor. Cell blade servers cost about $20,000. There are no options for getting the Cell between a PS3 and a Cell blade.

But, those tend to have two Cell processors, they're a more recent version, and it's an actual high performance computer, with lots of memory and fast interconnects. So they are in no way "equivalent."
anything can replace MSN Messenger ;)
I used this before I switched to an Android phone, highly recommend it.
It is an interesting idea.

However I'd be concerned that the law would work differently with a subset than the whole population. For instance take a law banning cellphones while driving. If you try to apply this to half the population, then the police aren't going to try to apply it because at least half the time they would be pulling over people who are allowed to use cellphones. But if you pass the law for all of the people, then the police could enforce it. So you try to solve this by saying that it will be selectively enforced according to location. But now you've gotten rid of the random selection that is the heart of evaluating the statistics.

For another example, look at the tax cut example they were discussing. The challenge here is that the touted economic benefit of tax cutting is that people with lower taxes spend their money, increasing circulation, and general prosperity. (And eventually improving tax revenue.) However there is no way to economically separate out the people you're giving the cut to from those you aren't. Therefore any economic change cannot be attributed to the tax cut, and you're unlikely to get a clear economic difference. (Other than that the less taxed have more disposable income.)

Why are you so ardently defending a man who is so clearly in the wrong here? He is so much of an asshole about this that he's proud of it and boasts about it to look tough in VC meetings.

The spirit of the law in California is very obviously to provide public access to all beaches without exception. Good job on his lawyers on finding a weird ancient technicality to lean millions of dollars on but it's bullshit and he and everyone else knows it.

Vinod is literally the evil heartless corporate billionaire in 80's movies who wants to bulldoze the small town rec center. He arrests surfers trying to go to their own public beach and brags that he's never even set foot on the property and couldn't care less about it besides the "principal" of property rights.
The issue is that code is read more often than it is interpreted, written, or compiled.

All the beautiful aspects of lisp make it decidedly unwieldy in production software. There’s a tendency of projects written in lisps to be unwritten in lisps as they mature.

The EFF seems hopeful (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/11/victory-pennsylvania-s...) that an even larger split might arise due to this PA case in addition to a couple pending elsewhere. IMO ideally passwords should receive complete and unconditional fifth amendment protection.

(If you can find old Star Wars themed software by Lucas Learning that still works, they did terrific things. Iirc, Droidworks basically taught set theory, though by example.

If I squint my eyes, I don't think it would even reduce the burden on the state pension system when you take into account the benefit system it is part of.

Long-term disabled or ill people who are unable to work will effectively take early retirement (in some cases they can draw on their actual pension early too), and depend on state support from then on whether it's called pension or something else. The duration of payouts will be longer than for ordinary retirement age.

It's not just miserable for those survivors, it's expensive for the state.

Long-term health problems are also likely to cost more in healthcare later.
There are many states that require for instance including a scan of your license on your first mail in vote. Others that make it almost impossible to get a mail ballot in part because of 'identity' requirements

"This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked."

People are saying Twitter deleted the posts. Twitter Safety clearly left it to him to delete them, and his account is locked for 12 hours after he did so.

Just pointing that out because the news keeps saying that Twitter deleted them, when Twitter themselves say that they gave him the choice of deleting them, or remaining locked out from making any more posts.

I very much disagree with these ways of operating, for systems that monopolize human-to-human communication. We live in a bunch of walled garden communication apps, people don't use any open systems like e-mail and phone anymore, and those walled garden apps bully us into giving them data? They are all starting to behave the same way.
Mail-in ballots are sent out to people who request them. You would need such a massive identity fraud campaign to move the needle on an election that I can’t believe you would be unable to find any evidence of it anywhere in 50 states. There are no signs to indicate further investigation is needed. Also importantly, there are enough audits in place to catch the whiff of a foul election that can be litigated with evidence discovery.
It's not loyalty to the Republican party that's out there. It's loyalty to trump, it wouldn't do anything to absolve their complaints against the system.
