Your point is valid, though perhaps misapplied in this case due to nostalgia-tinted glasses. FFV is a tremendously fun game, but I don't think it's accurate to say it received artisan-level craftsmanship. I don't think it was a transparent money grab the way the HD remake is, but compared to the ones that came before and after, it's...kind of the Godfather 3 of the SNES era. Plenty good on its own, but heavily overshadowed by the others bearing its name.

? OneNote has always been in the Office Home & Students version, hasn't it? It's also part of Office 365.
Since Lollipop it's been agonizingly slow for me. Apps take 4-6 seconds to open, opening a web page can render the phone unresponsive for seconds at a time. My wife's has become unstable, hard-locking and/or rebooting several times a day. Using the camera in particular seems to cause it to misbehave, which is unfortunate as she loves taking pictures.

It's been a great phone, no doubt, and we've loved ours, but it feels like it's time to move on to the next thing.
In cases where we replaced the article title I don't bother repeating it, since you can see it there. In cases where we replace a submitter's rewrite, I usually quote those in the thread. I'm reluctant to add features to HN's software for this. It doesn't feel in the spirit of the site.
> Interesting that the two operators that aren't associative are the two that you don't typically write as operators in mathematics.

Sure, for those two examples, but plenty of things that are typically written as operators in math aren't associative (× as the cross product, for instance, which gets bonus points for overloading a symbol that is an associative operator in other contexts.)

That's why efficient markets are only considered to be an ideal.

Note in edit: I suspect what I remember as the Econ 101 explanation is probably accurate enough for most purposes: Both the employer and the worker have temporary, local monopolies: The employer has plenty of money, but a shortage of time, and the worker has plenty of time but no money. So each is willing to trade with the other. The employer could make money in excess of the value added by the employees, by exploiting other kinds of effective monopolies such as patents, trade secrets, even things like brand recognition and goodwill.
Ah, this explains all the notifications I've been getting trying to get me to go premium. Not that it's a big deal—I can't blame them for trying to monetize—but I had noticed they'd gotten a lot more aggressive lately.

The NTSB maintains a database of all airline accidents that are recorded every year.. I did a basic search with the following parameters:

USA, 2014, Airplanes only, Fatal accidents only -- This returned 147 results of fatal accidents, the majority of which were Pipers / Cessnas / Beechcraft..

Expanding the list to include non-fatal accidents returns 310 results.. So not quite 1 per day, but still a lot of plane crashes.

Companies like Boeing (who have boom and bust years) still use the term "laid off" like that. But they're also union jobs where you basically can't get fired, short of taking a piss in the coffeemaker. So the word "fired" is still fine for those employees "exceptional" enough to get permanently laid off.

hellbanning is easily the worst thing about HN. It's the embodiment of a childish idea that nobody can change, ever.

How does that system handle produce? That's one of the big reasons why automated checkout works like it does in the US (using checkout stations and scales).
No, you don't.

Encoding a video should not be CPU, so let's get that out of there.
Most of the rest is more GPU dependent than CPU dependent. The amount of CPU time you should be spending on these tasks is really low.

For example, web browsing and reading, the CPU should be asleep most of the time.

Now, don't get me wrong, there are plenty of very silly little tasks for A53's to do, but what you listed are not those tasks.

It's more things like "syncing" or something that is a poll loop and event bound, not something that is in any way CPU bound.
Period. CPU bound stuff is not something for the A53's in this to tackle. It makes battery life worse. That is what the actual, in-the-field data says.

" a much better middle tier power usage level, than the A57"

Truthfully, for most A53 cores, this is true only in the dreams of the chip designers.

"but it is a very good bet for most real world usage."

Then what, pray tell, do you expect the A57's to be doing in this world?

And why, in practice, has big.little and other things not shown any better battery life at all if it's really a better way of doing things.

I have no doubt it may be a better way of doing things in the future, but it ain't right now ;)
Most hotel WiFi networks enforce device isolation too, so I don't think you can 'see' the chromecast even if you could authenticate it. The workaround is to create your own hotspot, bridging the hotel's WiFi to your own 'travel router,' using a laptop.

At that point, it's probably easier just to watch Netflix on the laptop... :-/
CPUs enter and exit sleep on Android devices constantly. Back in 2007 on the MSM7201A we'd go to power-down sleep for any idle times of >50mS (nothing to schedule for the next 50mS). Run fast and go to sleep has always been the primary power policy.

That said there's plenty of lightweight threads and processes that are mostly IO or event bound, do very little compute, and will run in roughly the same time on a small core as a large core, but the small cores have a lower static power footprint (base cost to have them powered up at all), so big.little works out well there.

There are cases of people getting obstruction of traffic tickets for going at the speed limit. It happened in Toronto. One guy got a speeding ticket in the merge lane, so in a pique he did the posted limit in the fast lane, which normally moves 15-20 mph faster than the limit. He caused a traffic jam and got an obstruction ticket. He fought the ticket and lost. Sorry, can't find a link now.
Sure, they would. But they've done most of the initial development on dry roads. Snow driving is rather a different beast, and has had less development and testing time (because the first step is to get it to work at all, in the best conditions).

Sure, they'll test it on snow. And I'll probably trust it on snow, eventually. But I'll trust it on snow later than I'll trust it on dry roads.
Well Musk has not a good track record with announcements like that.

That said, not quite sure what else he could really do. Car production cycle are long and capital heavy. The buying cost is also very large, so to maintain a media presence you can't really iterate every year like with other tech widgets.

Other manufacturers make prototypes between model refreshes and go to various car shows, so far Musk is able to that by just talking to the press. Good for him, saves Tesla a bunch of money until the competition in electric car market really picks up !

I think the Julia people were right to remove "dependent" from the docs. Nowadays I say that Julia has a limited form of static dependent typing, which is to say it doesn't have dependent typing.

When we first wrote Nemo in Julia, we used a form of emulated dependent typing. But the way we did this led to performance problems that we just hadn't thought about.

For example, if we did lots of operations over Z/pZ for many primes p, e.g. in multimodular algorithms, it meant that the Jit compiler had to recompile everything for every prime p, which was awfully slow.

Julia is absolutely not meant to be used that way, and it took us a long time to see that. After redesigning Nemo to use Julia much more like the way it was designed to be used, we actually ended up speeding everything up.

I'm in a fairly dense urban area, one of the next-day prime locations. Our apartment gets about 4 packages a week I'd say. Probably 90% arrive on time or ahead. I've had a couple where the driver just threw the package up the stairs to the apartment, instead of to the door. Still, considering the sheer number of packages, I've yet to have a misplaced or stolen package.

They do drop off without ringing fairly often. Personally I don't mind, but it seems like that could be standardized.

The anaemic way would turn that 10,000 line file into something closer to 10,000 one-line files. To me, that is the very definition of spaghetti code.

Thanks very, very much for pointing me in the right direction! In the thread you linked, 'Cushman links[0] to a good StackExchange thread[1] that explains some related things that bothered me, and the whole thread also manages to answer my questions regarding arrays.

I wondered about hashtables too. I was actually teaching someone about them recently and had to re-read some CS stuff for it, and in the process I realized that the O(1) access for hashtables doesn't make any sense in the light of explanations I know.

So it turns out that the answer is complicated and in CS curriculum they just handwave you through. It sucks, to be honest, and it's the one thing that always annoyed me about formal education - far too often the teacher/professor stated something as a fact and provided a "proof" with so much confidence that I sort-of assumed it must be so, and realized only months or years later (and after a lot of confusion) that I learned an approximation - maybe a smart one, with good reasons backing it up, but still just an approximation, with important caveats that were never even mentions.

It sorts of make you wonder how much do you really understand about things, even in STEM.

> You can get a ticket for driving slower than traffic, despite driving at the speed limit?

Some speed limits in California are soft (it depends which of the provisions allowing speed limits they are adopted under, or whether they are the default limits.)

It is legally possible for traffic to exceed the speed limit where those limits are soft without necessarily being illegal, unreasonable, or safe.

It may, in some circumstances, therefore, possible to impede reasonable flow of traffic while driving at the speed limit in those cases, thus breaking the law.

> Could you, in the same situation, also get a ticket for following the traffic—i.e. breaking the speed limit?

Yes, but if the circumstances were such that someone could be impeding traffic at the speed limit, it would also necessarily be true that it would possible for you to exceed the speed limit and not be breaking the law. But the burden of proof would be on you to show that the driving was safe.

"Nobody's going to bother to recreate your fingerprint, when it's much easier to beat you with a wrench ( https://xkcd.com/538/ ) until they get access to your phone."

The wrench technique, less so.

If your adversary is a Twitter employee, you graph "Payoff for 'outing' vs. likelihood of being fired" and come to the conclusion that no Twitter employee has cared enough. If your adversary is substantially better resourced than a Twitter employee or would not suffer equivalent costs (e.g. if your adversary is law enforcement), assume the inevitability of compromise.

An interesting question is "How would you rate the ability of e.g. investigative journalists on this score?", to which I answer "Equivalent to their ability to ask someone in their social circle to tell them what the answer is."

What are they surprising you with? I've done loads of orders with Amazon and it's basically always what I ordered. Once I got some cheap knockoffs, but was able to easily return it. That's out of a few hundred orders.

As for the timeout stuff, they should definitely stop calling it a guarantee. Most of the time it's correct, and fairly often I'll get a package much quicker than it indicates, but I'd say about 10-15% of packages are later than the 2-day guarantee.
