Yeah, thought it was interesting that the subject chip didn't have a heat sink/fan and one supporting? chip on the board behind it did.
Drawing a pixel where none exists is not too bad. The trouble is drawing when there is already something on the screen.

Worked on might be an understatement, given that he was the initial ffmpeg developer, and thus founded that project.
> But I'll make it explicit, if irony is considered too snarky: Exposing more gifted children to less gifted ones might be beneficial in small doses, it isn't in general. One group will always be detrimental to the other

I do see your point, but it's a matter of tradeoffs. Not exposing different children to each other may benefit the best ones (and maybe even the others, who knows), but may also foster a classist view of society. Similarly, we started coeducating male and female pupils because the previous system was seen as fostering a sexist view of society.

> If you need examples where coeducation is never done, look no further than the school's choir, orchestra or sports teams.

That actually strenghtens the point though, doesn't it? You can also have chess teams, science clubs, and other activities which cater to the best pupils, while keeping the current educational model.
I've heard this narrative before quite often. My follow up question is, is there an end in sight? Is there reason to be hopeful that, later this decade for instance, things might get better and we might have 27" high PPI e-ink monitors available around the same price as a typical LCD?
>Insecure by default is the same as insecure.

A bad workman blames his tools. Simply understanding about how it works would prevent this situation. This is all based on the assumption that "WhatsApp" is secure -- yet nobody is able to inspect it for themselves really.
Am I missing something about this? Seems like it's just Davos in your living room for Silicon Valley types.
Lightweight threads like in Go or Erlang are not happening anytime soon as a C++ standard because they require much more complex runtimes to be decently implemented (whereas traditional threads can just delegate straight to whatever OS threading is available).

There are coroutines though, that can fill some of the same needs covered by lightweight threads:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/coroutines
> The main reason is so that the type system knows which thread is which and can handle it differently.

Except that's not really the case: std::thread is joinable as well. The difference between the two is what happens in the dtor, respectively "terminate" and "join".
I think people have different moods for similar activities. Someone might enjoy classical music while coding while others might enjoy dub step or the like. And if you have to provide your mood how is it different from songza/spotify? Nevertheless, it would be kinda interesting to see how you get the mood of a website. What mood would HN have?
Doubtful it’s written in Word. The empty pages are because this is a document that’s intended to be printed double sided and bound. Try printing off 10 or 20 pages that way and you’ll see those empty pages serve their purpose.
Yes, because that next alternative could be a scam site. When people are desperate for information, they will get it wherever they could find it, even if it is garbage. It is much better to have the good sites stay up.
Part of the problem was that we thought this was just another virus that we could control. We were over confident and it didn't help that our president thinks he knows everything. We have seen that most countries were unprepared for the avalanche this virus is turning out to be. I think that only the countries that have gone thru a previous epidemic have it under some control. The world was caught unprepared.
Hyperbole, meet billswift. Billswift, meet hyperbole.
In tandem with my other comments elsewhere on this page, I suggest a scenario 0: Use Dave Ramsey's advice (or other similar), and among other preparations have a sufficient savings account (and avoid debt and keep your costs low) so that if you lose your job or other circumstances require, you can sign up for medical insurance which you pay for. Hopefully also you have good family and/or church ties where you help others and they help you, freely, and have built these up over time. While diligently looking for work (even flex/temporary), you maintain these ties and they help you if necessary. I have written extensively at my web site.

Having outside entities manage our lives by force, because of our individual failure to live a prepared, wise lifestyle, causes us to lose freedoms we won in the 1770s. But it is not to late to begin now, and encourage others. There is so much good that we can do, if we are not victims of the advertising industry but instead think, have a direction, worthwhile goals, and humility while we patiently try. It is really worthwhile.

Edit: there are also other very good preparations one can make besides financial, such as basic emergency supplies and long-term food storage (wheat & beans keep well and can keep one alive), rotation, etc, without necessarily digging a bomb shelter. These and being without debt yield peacefulness. Again, more at my web site (no ads): https://lukecall.net send questions freely via the address at the footer.

Doesn't it defeat the idea of "one formatting to rule them all" if they change the rules?
The wealth shifted because the British Empire lost it's navy and thus it's force projection which made it lose it's way to control it's colonies and it handing it's colonies to the US in lend lease. That was combined with a guarantee of global seas protection from the US navy. CCP has zero force projection even over their local area of the world and are wholly dependent on imports from the rest of the world for its economy. The US could shut down the economy of China and send it in to millions of people dying famine by just putting some blockades up between the middle east and China and China would cease to be a country.
Everyone is going to get sick unless we find a vaccine or a cure. That is inevitable. The idea behind isolation is to spread out the cases in time so that supplies/treatment are available for you when you get it. If you get sick right now and need an ICU, you might just flat-out die because there aren't any ICU resources for you. If you get sick 6 months from now, there will be more resources.
I have been looking for, but haven't found, a similar package for Java projects. Ideally my team can add it as a save-hook for everyone using IDEA, then we can have a pre-commit hook that checks to ensure compliance. Would be eternally grateful for anyone that can point me in the right direction!
I quite like Arch. Definitely has the package manager with the coolest command name, although the usage and flags are bit archaic, they should probably steal some more ideas from FreeBSD. It allows me to build relatively minimal systems without having to compile everything from source. (yes, I'm a recovering Gentoo user)

I recently installed the latest Ubuntu just to see where that has gone since I last used it years ago. I had to wipe it after less than one hour.

I really should play around again with NixOS, looks like it has progressed quite a lot since I last encountered it.
I, by pure luck alone, happened across this book early in my career, and I still go over it from time to time. I will probably die with it in my "keep forever" library.
I personally find X to really annoying due to it's architecture, no matter how pretty Gnome and KDE get. Just one example that happens all the time for me on linux.

1. Taskbar yells that I have updates.
2. I click the notification icon.
3. Nothing happens. No hourglass.
4. Wait.
5. Click it again.
6. No feedback.
7. Two copies of synaptic pop up. One flips out because another copy is already open.

The analogous version of this never happens to me on Windows or OSX.

Sure it's not the end of the world, but when weird stuff like this happens more than once a day, it gets annoying. It's like having that toilet where you need to jiggle the handle.

This makes sense for backwards compatibility reasons since it fits in with the existing REST API. An alternative if starting from scratch would be to design an event-based realtime API that uses WebSocket with long polling fallback.
Some of the bugs I reported were also marked "obsolete", but they were mostly fixed in Android 5.0, so I can't really complain about it.

But yeah, the handling of bugs is awful, no comparison to the way Chromium handles bugs. They might not be perfect. But it feels much better handled.
I still use Firefox for anything where I need to be logged in since I'm rather uncomfortable about using Google services combined with a Google browser - but it's definitely a significant performance downgrade.

I would add that in the last couple years, the mood has gone from "4chan is a toilet" to "4chan is hurting people" to "CHRIS POOLE, OWNER OF 4CHAN, MUST BE PERSONALLY HELD ACCOUNTABLE." The tide has turned, he is probably being ostracized in social settings, and he is getting out while the getting's good.

It used to get me down but now I see it as living through history. Our ancestors lived through worse. We’re witnessing the continued evolution of human civilization.
in the 1950s, yes, but much quicker cars were available in the 60s. there were chevy caprice four-door sedans that made 425 hp and did 0-60 in around six seconds. that's not far off modern hot hatches (although I suspect the ones with 425 hp were probably less affordable at the time). it was possible to make plenty of power back then; it was mainly the weight that held those vehicles back. the specific model I'm looking at weighed 4100 lbs!

Ok, this is more or less what I thought.

This does seem solvable, but also seems like the sort of thing the bean counters would cut early.

Nintendo of America is headquartered in the same city as Microsoft (Redmond WA), so this is definitely plausible.
> As I say, your comment seemed to imply it was possible,

After re-reading my comment, I can see how one would think that. I apologize for the confusion. I was actually trying to draw a distinction be between messaging systems that are provider agnostic and those that aren't. SMS and Matrix both allow multiple competing providers to interoperate. WhatsApp does not. That is why, I believe that we must not consider Whatsapp "critical infrastructure". No one company should be "critical".
No, Induced Demand describes the phenomenon whereby the roads eat considerably into the surrounding neighborhoods and get louder and more dangerous while the amount of traffic remains the same.
Natural forest fires have a fairly minimal impact on old-growth forests and in some cases are even necessary for them to function properly (e.g. some pinecones will only open when burned). The underbrush and younger trees burn off, the older trees are largely unaffected.

What most people don't realize is the trees that exist today are all "new", as in are less than a few hundred years old. The trees that were cut down in the 18th and 19th century are unlike anything you'd see today. Far, far bigger and longer lived, on time-scales that we're really not used to dealing with.

These capture carbon and store it for hundreds of years. When they die they will decay and be recycled back into the forest floor and soil, not necessarily burned off and released as CO2.

Sure, a half-hearted tree-planting effort is not going to solve the problem, but a more ambitious reforestation plan with an emphasis on carbon-sequestering trees instead of those trees intended to be harvested every 20-40 years could make a huge difference.
Reading a book on that question right now; 'The Value of Everything'. Might be worth a look.
The big limitation of Coq is a limitation common to all proof assistants. It takes a lot of time and effort to formalise even simple mathematical ideas, so complex ones can seem quite beyond reach. However if a proof requires the analysis of more cases than a human could comfortably handle, as in the four colour theorem or the Kepler conjecture, then it is a good candidate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_exhaustion

If you want to get fancy with your meal planning, you can use a constraint solver like Google's or-tools to figure out what recipes to cook to meet nutritional (and other) goals semi-optimally:

Example code:

https://github.com/google/or-tools/blob/stable/examples/pyth...

which solves the Stigler Diet problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stigler_diet

The combinatoric difficulty of optimal nutrition planning is not something I see brought up very often, and I find that fascinating in its own right. It's harder than it looks, and I feel many people don't understand why.

It's not called a "machinetosh". It's Macintosh, or Mac for short. Named after the McIntosh variety of apple (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McIntosh_(apple)).

"Windows is used way more than [Macintosh] on developer machines."
- Citation needed. Macs are extremely popular among web developers, and are required for iOS developers, both pretty major categories of "developer".
China can give as much support as it wants and it will buy no love in the white house or congress on a bipartisan level. China is deemed the new rising power that has to be taken down. W Bush started the anti China policy (with a hiatus because of other war distractions), then Obama’s Pentagon drew up invasion plans in his first term (but ultimately decided that that window had closed) and then thus instituted the Pivot to Asia (economic strangulation of China). Now Trump is continuing it and both parties foreign policy gurus are anti-Chinese. Other potential recipient countries would probably appreciate the gesture long term.
Surprised you're getting downvoted. I've seen a couple statements by police departments in the US (unfortunately I can't find them right now) that stated they will accept no discounts or freebies for the exact reasons you stated.
I like to use the concept of course correction, here, rather than "hits or misses"/"success or failure". When I use the course correction concept instead, it drops all of the emotion loaded up into the thoughts of failure or success and it becomes refinement (which is lighter) than "I failed" or "I succeeded".

It's not like they don't have money to burn on trying new stuff. Plus, it keeps their creative and intelligent employees interested and enthusiastic.

Part of the attraction of working at Google is being able to work on projects such as these. If they Google stuck to doing search and nothing but search, many of their more creatively minded employees would probably leave in droves.
There is no one magic bullet for RSI. Mine got so bad that I've had the surgery for it. And that hurts. Or maybe I just have a low pain threshold. But after the surgery, it was fantastic. If you can afford it (i.e. insurance or have the money), I'd highly recommend you go to a doctor. It might not require surgery and only physical therapy. After my surgery, my physical therapist and I came up with the following list for me. YMMV.

Use a keyboard without the number pad. With no number pad, your hand doesn't have to move far from the keyboard to get to the mouse (trackball in my case).

I've got foot pedals programmed to be the control and alt keys so I don't have to move my fingers off the main keys at all (except for shift. I never could get used to using a footpad for shift). I've been experimenting with a foot pad for backspace as that is the longest throw I have right now.

Exercise your fingers. Get one of those stress balls and squeeze it. For a long time, I used electronic todo lists or wrote pseudo-code in VIM when thinking about an idea. Now I use notebooks, and I've taught myself to write with both hands (left hand is weak hand. I can read it, but no one else can :). So when I'm stuck or need to make a list, I'll write out what I need to accomplish. I'll squeeze the ball with whatever hand I'm not writing with.

Stretch your fingers and wrists. Before I start work in the morning, I'll stretch my fingers and wrists for 10 to 15 minutes.

I've got a stopwatch to time myself. I'll only code for 1 hour and 50 minutes. Then I'll stop, do nothing for 10 minutes (absolutely nothing. I'll just sit with my eyes closed. If I'm pairing, I'll turn over the keyboard), and then do my stretching exercises for 10 minutes.

One of my biggest contributors was posture. I'd sit slumped so my arms were way higher than they should have been. I've now taught myself to sit upright. I still slip at this sometimes, but I can generally catch it before I've done it too long.

Like I said before, those items helped me. I came up with that list with the help of a physical therapist that watched me work and made suggestions. Some of them may or may not work for you.
I've done the same: I'm just shocked by how badly broken the google apps support still is (no profiles or youtube while logged in, even with multiple accounts enabled?), given that they have actual paying customers using google apps.
Nothing! I just can't find any reviews within the last 2 years. What did you buy and how have you got on?
"Non-standard"? As opposed to the highly standardized EV chargers and their ports?

The EV industry is just emerging and in huge flux. Charging the cars from the floor would make much more sense, especially if we're going to charge them even without cables, wirelessly, in the future (and yes, once again breaking the several year old "standard" in the name of progress).
I agree.
I believe Alexis Ohanian had a big hand in designing the user interface. He's got an eye for good design & user experience.

The original blog post is called "The Android Step Function". Taking the name of the graph, "Android vs. iOS Growth", and applying it as the title of the new story is disingenuous.

The entire point of the article is that there is seasonality to the growth of Android. The point of the article is the shapes of the graphs not the absolute values.

It seems like it should, but the more likely consequence (at least based on inference from what Youtube customer service is like and Google's general attitude towards people who use their services) is that she would simply be banned from ContentID and have her Youtube account shut down.
No, it's a monopoly (youtube: online video) using its market power to juice its nascent music subscription business.

Have you been to a Microsoft Store? The employees usually outnumber the customers. Because it's not just developers they've lost, it's consumers. Microsoft are great at enterprise, but their consumer ambitions are going to be hard to realise.

> As we expand the universe of software we wish to run on Fuchsia, we are encountering software that we wish to run on Fuchsia that we do not have the ability to recompile. For example, Android applications contain native code modules that have been compiled for Linux. In order to run this software on Fuchsia, we need to be able to run binaries without modifying them.

This seems to be new (circumstantial) evidence that Fuchsia is supposed to eventually replace Linux in Android.

One very interesting piece of tech coming from it, is toolbox (https://github.com/containers/toolbox). Basically throwaway (or keeparound) rootless containers with their own root directory but shared HOME. Install hundreds of dev-dependencies to build this one piece of software? Yeah, not gonna install those packages permanently. Spin up a toolbox, build it, install it in my home/.local.

You have root in the container without having root in the host system. That takes care of a lot of issues as well.
It's to your great credit that you promote and engage openly with the "competition." FWIW, CoffeeScript + Backbone/Underscore/Docco is, in my opinion, the most exciting thing to happen to JavaScript since the advent of major DOM libraries, and possibly since before then.
> The search space of biological organisms been well explored.

Not at all true. The space of possible biological organisms is searched in a highly nonuniform manner by evolution, and the human search strategy is fundamentally different. It's overwhelmingly likely that there competitive human-constructible organisms which could never be produced by evolution in the past 4 billion years.
