I didn't know about L-theanine; this goes a long way towards explaining why I feel like tea helps me "stay awake" for longer, compared to coffee which seems to fail me after about a half hour, despite it usually having more caffeine.
In some part I agree with you., but that's now. In the near future more and more services and apps will have an API as a primary way to be accessed by third party developers.

Don't know if that will be your need since all depend from the service itself if it is useful or not. But we have to bear in mind that Twitter has 75% of its traffic coming from its APIs, while eBay has 8 billion of worth items pushed through the marketplace via APIs. That's the future, especially when the internet of things will come, at that point your toaster will have an API as well.
Itanium is based on the EPIC architecture (not to be confused with AMD's EPYC processors) which is an evolution of the VLIW architecture.

VLIW architectures are based on the idea that instruction scheduling should be fully done at compile-time rather than mainly at run-time like modern superscalar processors do.

Compile-time instruction scheduling removes a lot of logic from the circuit and therefore potentially consumes much less energy.
However it requires more logic on the compiler side.

But it's still today very complicated to build efficient VLIW compilers. Apart from very specific tasks like signal processing, VLIW & EPIC architectures has been abandoned.
> Facebook is now an integral part of our culture. Its precipitous growth is owed to the fact that it works only if it’s massive. The more people participate, the more utility it has, and the more utility it has, the more compulsory participation becomes.

I came to mention exactly this same sentence. Maybe it's just that I'm out of the loop—but I'm 30, not a complete technological outsider, and I have never used Facebook or felt any pressure to do so. In what sense is this participation compulsory? I'd have liked to see some more elaboration on this principle that seems often to be taken for granted.

(I'd particularly be interested to hear an argument that couldn't also have been applied to AOL in the early '90's—I really did consider it vital to be there to communicate with out-of-state friends without enormous phone bills, but the notion nowadays of participation in AOL being compulsory is laughable.)
You're describing reality. When was the last time you jay walked?
So all of a sudden work being outsourced to India needs to go through a VPN located somewhere else in the world. Whoever is doing the work will need to jump through at least a couple of hoops to set that up and keep working through it. Additional costs will be introduced. It's not a show-stopper, but it seems as though it could easily have a material impact.
I see people recommend static sites in general, but I've recently done some research and couldn't find a static site generator that can give me a WYSIWYG editor in my browser. What I need is a blog that lets me edit posts from a PC, a tablet, or a phone, including picture uploads and one-click publishing. Everything I found either left the editing portion up to the user or said "just use WinSCP to upload your HTML/markdown".

I just went with Wordpress. My personal blog is not my job, I just want to write down my thoughts. What specific technology would you recommend to generate a static blog with a WYSWYG editor and picture uploads, on my own server (not S3 or some proprietary paid hosting)?
I used some OS X APIs like this to have test machines and a test controller machine find each other. That was a while ago so I don't remember the details, but maybe it was built on the same APIs.
I'd love to know how you have gone about getting the initial sublets on there. Was it scraping other sites like Zillow and Craigslist?

That is outside of the scope of the article. In this case you have to ask yourself. Do you want to save an appointment for 18:30 in Chile? Or for the Superbowl? You have to choose one.

If you really want to be sure tell your friends to use the timezone of the event. Maybe say "let's meet at 19:00 New York time" if the game starts at 20:00 in New York and you want to meet an hour before.
That would make perfect sense, since public figures mostly get assassinated at their homes.
>> I'd suggest people check their values every other month or so to make sure their values aren't too high.

I recently spoke to my GP about this and was told they don't usually bother testing people for Vitamin D levels in the UK because most of us would be deficient. She recommended supplementing (I believe 4000 IU) all Winter and suggested possibly continuing throughout the entire year.

The EU is built for slown policy making, not crisis. There is a lot of complexity in wrangling 27 governments to take a joint decision that a single country just doesn't have.
Thanks for the answer and being understanding.

>I do recognise though that most engineers don't like planning or task breakdown

I don't think planning or task breakdown themselves are the issue. Rather, it is a strong binding towards what is estimated when in the back of the head, there is always the looming threat of a missed dependency in a piece of legacy code one forgot about. Individuals can capitalize on missing ETAs by bundling them and still serving a track record which is largely coherent with the total estimate. They lose that power once a second or third party shifts the weighting and places a disproportionately high focus on missed deadlines over overall productivity and crucial deadlines being hit. That's when people start inflating estimates to give themselves security. Which shows up in the statistics as "perfect estimation", as unlike an underestimation, an overestimation can masquerade as a perfect estimation as long as someone doesn't investigate deeply (which itself is costly).

>This seems like a well and truly dysfunctional team. Engineers and managers are partners and only when they work together can they deliver something meaningful

Disclaimer: I'm moving the goalpost of the discussion here. I agree with the idea that managers and developers should work together, not against one another.

Unfortunately, this is the part where idealism and reality clash often. I question whether the majority of places execute this way, even if they claim to value the same idea. Given the inherent power imbalance between management and developers, it is just too easy for management to force its point of view and normalize away any dysfunctionality. Most developers won't quit on the spot: they still need to eat, don't perceive an abundance of jobs, etc.. The entire thing sets itself up for a frog in boiling pot situation, where as long as the management layers don't massively mess up, developers will continue normalizing away more dysfunctionalities.

I've seen this happen both with technical managers who no longer have to work with the tech themselves, and non-tech managers who have zero understanding of the entire thing. Power is intoxicating. The required empathy to deal with these gaps in perspective is a trait the far majority of people don't possess. The aforementioned power imbalance and other traits (maybe not in Silicon Valley, but here, management is both more prestigious and pays better) causes people without that trait to pour in, often selected by people who were lacking that trait to begin with. We get massive amounts of practices with zero support, because that same gut instinct that developers get berated for, many managers will often use to claim their way is better, disregarding any counterargument to their own whimsical feelings. If not gut instinct, it's some snake oil salesman selling a practice which, again, has zero support.
Nicely done! In pre-COVID-19 times, Atlassian used a similar hack for its catered lunch menus: a hand-updated Trello board stored the menu items, along with some data about which items are vegetarian, gluten free, etc (using labels?), and then that spat out a nicely formatted menu at a well known URL / on some TVs. Little bit of ingenuity goes a long way to avoid having to maintain yet another piece of software :)
Other networks are irrelevant if my funds are not in that network or the merchant is not on that network. Moving funds between networks tend to be expensive and inconvenient as you need to go through an exchange.

How would the bonds be paid for if not for taxes? (Genuine question. Printing money?)
Similar story with strawberries. The huge ones are quite bland, whereas the small ones pack a punch. I imagine it's mostly the water content that makes them bigger, but at the same time it dilutes the taste.

Same for tomatoes as well. Homegrown tomatoes have a strong taste, whereas store-bought ones are quite weak in taste (as well as weirdly plastic).

Pretty much anything that is produced for profits will be optimized for weight and minimal production costs. Nobody cares about taste.
Agreed. Wikipedia would be much better without notability requirements, etc.
I agree with you, but you are also losing the message.

They are trying to say it's not a matter of willpower that you can just make it go away. It's something real and outside your control.

The chemical imbalance part is nonsense, the message it implies is not.

That quote looked suspicious, so I typed it into Google. It's fake.

The comment to which I responded mentioned an internship at Google and a [presumably early career stage] job at Apple. I consider it an orange relative to a situation where a person has developed collegial peer relationships over some number of years in a profession.

This is one of my all time favorite essays. Great to see it linked here. Best part:
'To nine out of ten of you the choice which could lead to scoundrelism will come, when it does come, in no very dramatic colours. Obviously bad men, obviously threatening or bribing, will almost certainly not appear. Over a drink, or a cup of coffee, disguised as triviality and sandwiched between two jokes, from the lips of a man, or woman, whom you have recently been getting to know rather better and whom you hope to know better still—just at the moment when you are most anxious not to appear crude, or naïf or a prig—the hint will come. It will be the hint of something which the public, the ignorant, romantic public, would never understand: something which even the outsiders in your own profession are apt to make a fuss about: but something, says your new friend, which “we”—and at the word “we” you try not to blush for mere pleasure—something “we always do.”'
This formula would make a really interesting mashup/visualization between watching an episode and a text based timeline. Hmm.
The reality is it is actually a power dynamic. I make something that you want and I can keep it from you until you pay me.

That sort of presupposes that your wants should be satisfied as a matter of course, no? I have to agree with some of the posters above about the immaturity of this attitude. In the natural world, you get some things for free and you have to work for other things; eg you might find a coconut on the ground, but that's not guaranteed - chances are that you'll need to forage or hunt for your food most of the time. You can want the coconuts at the top of the tree to any degree imaginable, but your basic choices are to stay hungry or climb the tree. Is the tree exercising power over you by withholding the coconuts? Of course not. In the natural world, when you want something you frequently have to put your money where your mouth is - that is, expend some effort to get hold of it.

The actual power dynamic in the case of piracy is that any attempt at establishing a contractual relationship between producer and consumer can be easily undermined by a small number of people who are willing to break that contract by giving away copies for nothing while painting producers as morally deficient and undeserving of compensation.

Digital goods have demand, but no natural limitations in supply.

This is simply not true - there is a fixed cost of supply. Just because the marginal cost of supply is zero does not mean there are no constraints on supply. You're equating non-substitutable creative goods with quite high costs of supply from the producer standpoint with fungible commodities in a marketplace of perfect competition.

The corollary to this of course is, artists can make as make media as they like, but to make a decent living from it they need to show appreciation and respect to their patrons.

So what you're saying is that you want to be entertained and have your ego stroked - you wish your consumption to be reflected back to you in heroic terms, because you place such a currency value upon your attention. Put another way, you consider the time invested in consumption of entertainment as a form of economic labor which is traded for the aesthetic pleasure (qua economic utility( that you hope to extract from the art work.
Actually my main takeaway is that organizing information shouldn't occur in a single app. It needs to take advantage of the web as much as possible. The model I want is basically small "apps" joined by hyperlinks -- exactly what the web is.

The primary app is a wiki with unstructured text, outlined/indented text and hyperlinks. But, as mentioned, information comes other forms too: structured data like bookmarks, spreadsheets, images, etc. The web lets you express all those things (spreadsheets being the weak link, since it involves executing code). Reinventing it all within a single app would be a lifetime of work.

The web already has common patterns and facilities for log analysis and so forth. If you just make it a web site, you can track all your actions with web log analysis. Whereas if you make it some "app", then you have to reinvent the analytics.

I definitely considered doing more textual analysis, stuff like PageRank, and even semantic analysis. I think it's interesting to explore but I don't the cost/benefit works out right now.

I have over 2000 pages, but probably 500 or less are "active". That can mostly be managed with full text search, and nothing smarter. You just have to make the search fast, which isn't hard with that amount of data.

But, if you want to write more code and programs against the data, a web site is a good format for doing so. I basically use the Unix philosophy of independent programs and data, rather than the "app" philosophy of data locked up behind code / user interface.

My philosophy is just to optimize for speed and ease of both writing and reading. And then you use it more. And the more you use it, the more valuable becomes. Just like with learning itself, you start to make more connections once you have some existing knowledge/content to graft on to it.

I think the most important thing is the content, and not the tool, and as long as the tool is lightweight and fast, you will keep up the habit of entering content and (just as importantly) retrieving it.
And yet if producers try to use technology like DRM to limit access to goods people start howling about how unfair and unprincipled it is. The amount of goalpost-shifting in the pro-piracy argument is pretty laughable - it's a classic case of demanding the right to have your cake and eat it.
Pure mdma would not kill anyone at a normal dose. Test your pills everyone!
Or just dissolves itself when soaked for too long. I'm sure there are technical solutions to this.

Of course the problems first has to be acknowledged.
Flu kills about 250,000 to 500,000 people world wide each year.

http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs211/en/

Malaria kills about 650,000 people each year. The low estimate is 473,000 and the high estimate is 789,000

So, if by "roughly the same" you mean "more" then yes, they are roughly the same.

And people do take flu immunisation if they are in a vulnerable group.
If you are running Mac OS X and this is something that intrigues you, you should spend an afternoon or two playing around with F-Script[0]. It's a Smalltalk inspired language the runtime of which can be injected into running processes so that you can dynamically explore the process data structures in memory. For example this screenshot[1] displays the data structures of a running programming that you can explore à la Chrome devtools (the UI is a tad overwhelming at first). There's also this Automator script called F-Script Anywhere which adds an Automator service that let's you inject the F-Scipt runtime into a running process with a single click. It was originally made by Silvio H. Ferreira but I've made some tiny changes to make it run on Mavericks and Yosemite[2].

Great idea -- as a user of Musicbrainz, it's right up my alley. I went ahead and made some updates to a nutella http://world.openfoodfacts.org/product/009800895007 page, and it works as I'd expect.

The Android app has problems, though.

1. The barcode scanner doesn't work, at least on the product I mentioned above. I tried it with the Barcode Scanner app, and it works fine there.

2. No barcode search. Since I used the Barcode Scanner app to get the barcode, I wanted to try to paste the result into OFF. No go.

3. The scan help text "Scan the barcode to find or add a product" is very hard to read on a dark background. There's probably a better way to show this help text.

4. Pressing physical back button in "scan" mode does not go back: https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-android/issue...
iPhone 6 confirmed to me what Steve Jobs had said about the importance of screen size.

If I was using my phone mostly like a micro-iPad for gaming and watching movies, a big screen would be desirable. But for mostly one-handed use (phone, exercise assistant, etc) it's too big.

My next phone will be the 5s. Or maybe the rumors will be right that there'll be a mini-iPhone.
Thank you for mentioning international cyber operation norms. This is the center of US international cyberpolicy efforts. Ontologies describing categories of cyber operations often place destructive attacks like the one against SONY into a category of its own and these are usually considered fair only in very particular scenarios of provocation.

An addendum here regarding 'free speech'. There is some question about The Interview being a propaganda effort on behalf of the US State Department (which was given a preview as early as July) since #GOP released emails where CEO Lynton discusses the effects of the ending with RAND Corporation strategist and nuclear deterrence specialist Bruce Bennett and Lynton confirmed analysis of its effectiveness with Senior State Department officials. (It also doesn't help that the script writer was asked specifically to consider changing his character from an anonymous leader of NK to Kim Jong-Un).

> You're making the assumption that either party can solve homelessness simply by being in power.

There are several obvious ways of doing this, from "just build more homeless shelters" to a UBI to less restrictive zoning so that people aren't priced out of housing etc. But these all cost money or political capital, so we see where the priorities are.

> It's only in the context of such a culture that the neoliberal Democratic party appears "left", when in fact it is quite center if not center-right.

A better question would be when will serious ML researchers stop using proprietary frameworks? The open source projects should work towards using something more open than Cuda, probably Vulkan. It's a real shame that Nvidia has a whole industry in their grip, and nobody seems to mind.
By now you have enough material to write a short article about this. Or to ping someone to write one. It might have a better ROI than the many no comments, almost no votes submission on this subject (which I always upvote when I see BTW).
