It wasn't the case for me. Portal 2 worked fine on my Air with Intel HD 4000 graphics. Well, I didn't beef it up to maximum detail level, but it ran pretty smoothly.
Anyone interested in the mind-bending history of moistening the West in general and California in particular just enough to be advertised as paradise may want to do themselves a favor and read "Cadillac Desert": http://www.amazon.com/Cadillac-Desert-American-Disappearing-....

Someone has to do the basic research. If everyone was "product focused", there would be no long term research. Sometimes researching stuff just for the hell of it yields serendipitous benefits, positive externalities for all of society, including your competitors.

Gruber spends an awful lot of time trying to justify and enshrine every action Apple takes. My guess is, if Apple got an Advanced Tech Group again, we'd have a blog article talking about how it's a masterful bit of Apple strategy.

The other thing is, is Apple reallty so different? We see on the Patently Apple website, that Apple is constantly patenting all kinds of crazy stuff that never becomes products.

The only difference between Apple and Google here is that Google will expose the prototype to the public and let people play with it, and Apple will just file patents on it.
I couldn't resist the challenge, so I wrote a non-recursive solution [0] in C++. It takes about 0.73s on an E5-4650 to loop 10000 times. Since writing it I've tried testing it against bluecalm's solution and how they compare seems to be fairly sensitive to the particular compiler and hardware combination. But it's at least a slightly different take.

AVX-512 is problematic in multiple ways your comment fails to even touch upon.

It impedes latency-sensitive applications due to forced down-clocking taking place for AVX-intensive instruction streams. The other side effect is that it quickly produces extreme heat that not only forces further down-clocking of the core but also taints neighbouring cores with dissipated heat and prevents them from going into turbo.

Not everything is about performance in laptops.
And the counter is: If IE6 doesn't already appear broken to people out in the world already, in what sense that they care about is it broken?
I can participate as a seller in the Apple App store. I cannot in the Android Marketplace.

Unless and until Canada is a first-class country on the Android marketplace, I won't even look at developing for Android.

(Granted, I probably won't do much with it even after that, because I hate Java with a passion and don't want the nasty performance hit that alternative languages currently have on Dalvik, but that's a different argument.)
Be kind, rip and share where possible. The Dmca only applies in the US. The 2600 campaign against dmca feels like it was yesterday.

Netflix let' s you download a lot of content. Great for when you aren't connected.
http://golang.org/doc/:

"Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language."

That comes reasonably close.

It's Google, what do you think?
lots of people have asked me that as of late presumably from looking at my profil, so I just added it there
I said "potential credit card fraud". Sorry for the confusion. The potential fraud is not being done to me. I just wanted to know what I should do if I suspected it.
So, will Greenpeace or other environmentalists draw up a petition to ban wifi networks despite the fact that they probably own potted plants and have wireless connections in their offices? hmm.
Class action lawsuits rarely provide more than a pittance to the aggrieved, the settlement is usually a slap on the wrist to the offending party, and the lawyers in charge of the case make out like bandits.

I fail to see how this contributes any benefits to our society.
This conforms rather well to "this is a news website article about a 'scientific' paper: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/the-lay-scientist/2010/sep...
> What is the 'punishment' for not getting to a call on time?

There is no formal one, just more of an implication.

If you miss one page, people will notice, and you might get asked about it the next day. If it's just the one, it'll probably end there. But if it ever turned into a pattern you can be sure that you're manager would bring it up in your 1:1s (despite them not being on any on-call rotation of course). It would likely not be a fireable offense, but it'd be made very clear that there'd be an expectation for you to improve.

I suspect that this is more or less how it works at a lot of companies with similar setups.
I don't understand why Jupyter notebooks are still in use as a writable format when there are editors like VSCode that can treat ordinary python files as notebooks. The Python extension can submit code blocks to the kernel and import and export Jupyter notebooks, but VSCode is also a real editor on top of that (debugging, git, vim mode, hover info, etc.). For distribution, as a read-only format (like PDF), notebooks are great. But why do people continue to do their work in one?
Absolutely, that's a nice point.
Ubuntu's version numbers are year.month. So "Ubuntu 19" means it's of the 2019 vintage.
I suppose the first improvement to a tube that eats would be to hold the food in a bit longer, for more complete digestion. This is especially true if you already have some coercing mechanism in place to flow/keep food into the mouth hole, even if that's clogging the front end with forward movement.
It counts it towards your data cap (if you are subject to it), but not to the bandwidth available under your plan.
Huge vehicles are incredibly unpopular in Japan. The country is full of incredibly narrow lane-less roads that have traffic going both ways.
They had a release only a month ago:

Yeah this article is about processing text data and not any form of statistics, modeling, etc. I'm guessing they added "data science" because it's in vogue? In any case, the provided title does not reflect the article.
The $10 a year includes the markup of a profit making domain registrar which has marketing and support costs.

This article suggests Public Interest Registry's costs for third party technical services were about half their revenue, with the beneficiary of the rest of the funds being the Internet Society

Still, you can see why those kind of margins and the ability to raise prices were an attractive combination to private equity
I'll point out that there is now also another kid in town providing what to me seems extremely well documented ARM SoCs: ST with their new STM32MP1. I'm very excited to see how they will fare in the market, I hope the best because their approach feels very agreaable to me.
I've worked in multiple systems where we've needed country-specific DoX() and you always end up completely separating them. You start trying to fit one core logic for all countries but it always gets reduced into nothing and you wish you had just copypasted the first country logic to the next to begin with.

Once everything is separated you feel much more comfortable introducing that specific Mexico change without messing around with the core logic. Of course things that are truly agnostic shouldn't be duplicated but that tends to be extremely narrow in the end and you never know what it is before you have a lot of countries. It quickly becomes a maintenance nightmare trying to fit broad logic to impossible flexibility.
It is. If parent make $126,000 a year they're not suddenly on the hook for full tuition.

$125,000 is just the lower bound where transition is 0.
If your product can do XYZ, and XYZ fills a need in a genuine user, then get it to market now.

By the time you've finished ABC, you'll have existing users to sell to. Or you'll have learned things you don't right now about your market, without having sunk development time needlessly.

We provide a REST-based API for processing payments for digital goods and more (subscriptions, virtual currency management).

http://getsocialgold.com
chargify itself, not too long. Especially if you do everything their way(we are kind of doing some weird things with it currently). If you don't want to write your own, there are a bunch of API libraries available for a bunch of languages as well as hosted paged for registration and payments if you need them. As everyone else has said, the long parts have been the up front setup time of the merchant account and payment gateway.

All in all though, I'm pretty impressed with Chargifys offering.
At first, I read your list and thought, "uh, good luck with that." Each of those take an incredible amount of investment; the number of Grammy winners who write bestsellers, break olympic records, fly planes, and are expert engineers is... zero, as far as I know.

But then I realized you don't have to achieve any of those to achieve a lot. If you try for #1 and fail, you've still made amazing music. If you try for #2 and fail, you're still keeping yourself in excellent physical shape. Try for #6 and fail, and you've still experienced some of the cultural richness of our world.

You might never achieve a single item on this list—but you'd be looking at a very fulfilling life in the pursuit of it.
I've been giving it some thought as well. I don't want to be in the rat race at 40. But how much is enough? That's what I need to think about.

Have you made a decision on what you're gonna do?
From a western/Chinese companies perspective, who would you rather deal with?

Companies and governemnts would prefer efficient fanatics until they play host to violent extremists who act to destabilize neighboring regimes and export violence on a large scale in pursuit of political/religious goals. You may view the war in Afghanistan as an exercise in corruption by the military-industrial complex, but it is also a valid application of the theory of forward defense to directly engage these extremists on their own territory and force them to consume their limited resources on self defense instead of using them aggressively. If a deal could be reached with the Taliban that would, with certainty, end their alliance with extremists and the export of violence to the tribal regions of Pakistan and the rest of the world, then that deal would be enthusiastically embraced just as it has been with the Saudis, but such a deal seems unlikely given the current state of the Taliban's ideology and certain ingrained Afghan cultural traits.
"1. Find what you must do. 2. Start doing it." is really amazing advice.

I think that you too often confuse means with ends, and don't attack the ends directly; instead, your waylaid by the means. For example: you want to make money with this spreadsheet scheme, but then you want to put it into the startup. Fuck, no. Work directly on your startup.

Also, stop listening to rap music. All rapper love to rap about their money, but it's a stupid pyramid scheme because they only get money from selling music (or drugs). I spent so much time smoking weed and listening to Lil Wayne in college, thinking that because I'm so smart I'm definitely going to make so much money. No, he's selling you the fantasy. When we get caught up in idol worship, we spend time admiring the successful. Successful people are too busy doing whatever makes them successful to waste time like that.

If you want to be a successful man, you have to start aligning yourself with Reality instead of Fantasy. This means if something makes you uncomfortable (say..a chapter in a book), confront it head on directly.
I'm not sure it's necessarily more effective. Perhaps it's less sinister sounding. The problem with ecological niches as a mindset, is that some ecological niches are quite small.

Then again, perhaps it's a useful metaphor, in that ecological niches are not static. In the case of social news/networks, sites often started out quite small, then changed their ecological niche over time. In fact, one can argue that reddit.com, Digg, MySpace, Facebook all shifted in this way.

The pattern I see here, is that the ecological niche viewpoint is more strategic, whereas the predator/prey viewpoint is more tactical. When one is planning a site's entry into a certain market, one can choose a small niche that can be strategically grown into a larger one. When one is executing on that entry, look for a place where your understanding of the value proposition is better than those on the other side of your transaction. (Perhaps this is what Facebook's founder was thinking when he made that comment on people giving him their data.)
Perhaps it's just a question of scale, and maybe I'm trying to solve problems that don't really exist. I'm hesitent to use paypal because when I _DO_ move to something more legit (ala Braintree or Authorize.net), I have to re-bill all of my customers and they have to put in their CC info again. This doesn't seem ideal to me.
If you have enough savings, you can go with a 'high deductible' plan, in which you cover the first $x thousand dollars out of pocket, then split some costs with insurer, then insurer covers you after $y dollars spent.

The price is highly dependent on what state you live in. In North Carolina, I have a high deductible plan with a $5500 deductible for $270/month, which covers my wife and I, both older than you, and we're not in perfect health.

A side benefit is that if you use a high-deductible plan, you're allowed to put money in a 'health savings account' which is tax deductible, and you can use that money to pay for pretty much any medical expenses you have. It rolls over year to year, and can be treated like any other retirement account (investments, etc).

If you go with more traditional 'i don't ever want to pay anything out of pocket' coverage, you'll likely be looking in the $500-$1000/month range, again, depending on what state you're living in.

For a single person in Michigan, for example, it might only be around $200 - http://www.bcbsm.com/myblue/plan_individualcareblue.shtml
but similar coverage with a 'high deductible' might only be $60/month - http://www.bcbsm.com/myblue/plan_flexibleblue.shtml
They could monetize that with microtransactions. 99c to download and install "1968 Ferrari Dino" or "Anakin's Podracer".
I really think he is wrong on almost all counts.

Fun to read about the continued development of the ID.R! When I saw the footage of it absolutely crushing Pikes Peak, my jaw hit the floor.
In the memcopy benchmark, which is designed to stress both memory I/O as well as caches, Intel’s XEON shows the highest raw performance

I am not surprised by that, given that x86 has a single instruction that will copy arbitrary number of bytes in cacheline-sized chunks --- something that ARM does not have.

I ran sysbench memory on dual-channel six-core MacBook and it scores 18311.19 MiB/sec, higher than either of those x64 behemoths. Something seems off.
> 100 years is the blink of an eye for a tree

That's a very slow blink.

Being generous and for easy math, let's say the tree lives 100,000 years.

100 years is 1/1000th of the lifetime, .001.

Generally the blink of an eye is in reference to human time scales. Again, let's be generous and say a blink takes an entire second, and a human lives 72 years. 1 / (72 * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = .0000000004

Many orders of magnitude off from the blink of an eye.
It's too bad we won't see a new electric light pickup (i.e. Ranger, Dakota) with a 7 foot bed anytime soon. Hopefully the conversion market will catch up.
There's a few outstanding people that make me love the Python ecosystem, Nedbat is definitely in that list.

FunkyBob (Curtis Maloney) is also a staple with Django, he's spent years and years helping people and asking for nothing in return.
Even assuming your spending exactly tracts cost of living, ratio is only what's relevant if you're going to keep that same cost of living indefinitely. Often what matters more is the net.
uMatrix has been abandoned, sadly.
I feel like I'm missing something. As of this moment (9:42AM PDT) Amazon's stock is up 5.6% for the day and near a 52 week high. That doesn't seem like panicky shareholders to me.

I'm not a stock maven, so it's possible that I'm missing some important detail.
For reference, I'm 28 now, so I can still somewhat remember college (or, at least, remember that much of my college time was hazy).

Each summer, like a good CS student, I got an internship back home. I worked as a programmer -- what I thought I wanted to do the rest of my life.

Don't do that. Honestly, in a summer's worth of time, you can put together a pretty compelling startup (or at least the start of it). I would recommend building something, ANYthing, each summer, that will teach you a practical skill. And try to build things that will make you money, because making money is a skill in and of itself.

Things to learn about, that you might not think of:
* effective email marketing. How do you get stuff delivered. How do you know it was delivered. What kind of messages are best? Can you sell someone something via email?
* effective SEO
* effective customer service

If you can build a tiny project to explore each of these, you'll be doing yourself a major favor. I sure wish I had explored my entrepreneurial side in college.
If a news organization links to a Twitter thread, should they have to pay Twitter money? If they simply report on what's on Twitter, do they have to pay?

If ABC News decides to write an article about what you said, should they have to pay you?
I've been looking at wonder.me recently. It has some nice features, including the spontaneous breakouts you're talking about.
The chief scientist of APNIC foreshadows the long term problems caused by obsolescence and lack of software updates for hardware devices. He suggests there is market failure in dealing with this and that regulation may be needed to solve it.
Try the Pomodoro Technique and make sure to close Slack and other distractions.
As a Python programmer, I find the Nim version needlessly cryptic, glyph-laden and ALGOL-esque, with many of the unattractive traits of Python from 10-15 years ago. If I get the choice to start out in a codebase which looks like this from brand new, I'll certainly pass. That's sad when "prettier" is really all that's being offered here.
If you’re worried about the Referer header leaking information, Firefox has numerous config settings to control the value sent.

This is just phenomenal writing.
As stolio notes elsewhere in the thread, there is a blunt difference. On the one side there's bullshit that matters, and on the other side is "no seriously, they both have Tyler in their name!" It is absolutely necessary to be able to tell the difference, since it's a basic way to avoid being conversationally tone deaf.

Alternatively, I invoke Poe's Law in case I'm being That Guy. (Tone's hard on the Internet - it's much better to play in person!)
Agree - that's amazing. Never thought of it.

But back in high school when I was copying software a lot, I actually did not have any money. I'd have jumped on the opportunity to get a legal copy free, and I'd have promoted the shit out of it.

This is the way to do it, for sure.
Fantastic writeup, it's inspiring. Thank you.
The original article has an interview with an Indian patent examiner that clarifies that the efficacy was not a factor in deciding whether the drug was patentable. It's difference(in chemical structure) from previously well known molecules -- or lack thereof -- was the decisive factor in rejecting that patent.
My sweet spot too. $49 for a pro product is a price where I don't think about it, just get it. If it helps, it's incredible value.

AppCode is like that - there's Xcode and it's free, but AppCode is just way better, and since it's only $50, I bought it.

Turns out a license is only for a major release, so if I buy 1.0 and they come out with 2.0, I have to pay to upgrade. But all upgrades in 1.x are free. So it's a fair deal. They seem to come out with new big releases every year so I end up paying them $50 every year.

I think it's a great model for selling software, and for continuing to make money off of it. It works for them, and for me as a customer, too. I get added value, and I don't mind spending extra on it.

Whereas, I avoid anything subscription like the plague. I want to buy, and own, not rent. Even though I now know that AppCode will always have a new major release every year, I don't mind paying the upgrade. First of all, I don't have to, I could just keep using the old version. And secondly each version packs tons of new features so I feel like I am getting something for my money.
Thats so great, But remember the all old technologies/ Maths/Science/Writing system/ Languages are not developed in US, US is using rest of world patents with paying anything, May this how they should pay back.
Sorry but we were doing ECS long time before that in the industry. I remember doing it back on the PSP with Lua(meta-table -> component mapping) and a backing in house C++ runtime.

It was pretty widely known in industry as a way to have cache locality and made it out to the broader dev community a good while after.
> If you live in a situation where the only local fiat currency is even worse

Then you start buying and transacting with good old Yankee dollars, as the good people in places like Zimbabwe and Argentina and Cuba and other such places have done, because this is the low volatility option and dollars are widely accepted. You don't buy the cryptocurrencies, as they are subject to wild price swings and only marginally accepted.

If you can't buy dollars, something like gold is a much better hedge than bitcoin.
I tried it, and went back to Docker with BuildKit.

* The newer version of Docker+BulidKit supports bind-mounts/caching/secrets/memory filesystem etc. we used it to significantly speed up builds. You could probably find a way in buildah to achieve the same things, but it's not standard.

* Parallel builds - Docker+BulidKit builds Dockerfile in parallel, in podman things run serially. The combination of caching and parallel builds and Docker being faster even for single-threaded builds, Docker builds ended up an order of magnitude faster than the Podman ones.

* Buggy caching - There were a lot of caching bugs (randomly rebuilding when nothing changed, and reusing cached layers when files have changed). These issues are supposedly fixed, but I've lost trust in the Dockerfile builds.

* Various bugs when used as a drop-in replacement for
Docker.

* Recurring issues on Ubuntu. It seemed all the developers were on Fedora/RHEL, and there were recurring issues with the Ubuntu builds. Things might be better now.

* non-root containers require editing /etc/subuid, which you can't do unless you have root access.

More information about the new BuildKit features in Docker:

"The EDD says it is working to verify the identities of people who made claims and many remain under investigation"

It's identity fraud. (Entirely because of the tragic state of US [and global] privacy and state-citizen communication culture.)

It's not people taking advantage of welfare and deciding to not look for work. It's career criminals.
