You are right, the 980 Ti was probably more of an answer to the expected potential of the Fury, it had a great timing. But lower price? I can get a R9 Fury X for 635€, a R9 Fury for 564€. The GTX 980 Ti starts at 718€.

Maybe the 980 Ti was cheaper in some markets at the very beginning.

It's not really a simpler language than Scala - it's less powerful and as a result many of its libraries are simpler (probably - there's no real Kotlin library ecosystem yet, for all we know they may end up combining the worst aspects of Spring and ScalaZ), but the language itself is a mess.

Scala.js uses much of the scala compiler infrastructure and is worked on by many of the same people; while typesafe doesn't support it commercially it's hardly "completely third party".

The idea that the strong coercing the weak is wrong is an idea that got spread by Christianity. Neither the Chinese state, nor the muslim Uighurs think there is anything wrong with the strong coercing the weak.

The Uighur complaint is different. It's unjust because it's not them doing it, not because the concept is wrong.

And this is a very important distinction to make, because you likely think that strengthening the muslims there would make them defend the weak. It is much more likely that something like the partition wars in India would happen.
That point of view on the story has been covered all over the mainstream media. E.g.:

This is really awesome! I love it.
I've read that book, it is very good. A fantastic story/subject, though probably not for a general audience, just those interested in a detailed history of Heaviside and his work. It's nice to see a well-written 'technical' history book - so often such books are written by someone who doesn't really understand the subject - this is an exception.

You are mistaken about Laplace Transforms - Heaviside used a different method which was rather ad-hoc - sometimes it works, sometimes not. For the same problems, we now use Laplace Transforms instead, because they are better/cleaner.
You can't "technically" do that. Which "rule" (from which rulebook) do you think allows you to arbitrarily repeat structures?

Here's a fascinating talk by the Nobel laureate behind this technique, titled "Imaging Life at High Spatiotemporal Resolutions": http://youtu.be/2R2ll9SRCeo
Short answer: not really. The technology and the way it's being applied is easily replicable without a lot of R&D money. There's also a level of detail resolution that this lacks, so whilst it's great for a quick and dirty look, it's not got the power of serious machinery.

That being said, I expect we'll see a v2 of this, based on more dedicated purpose hardware, which would reduce the cost down to the low four or even possibly mid three figures in the not too distant future. It's a genuinely interesting development.

There's no rulebook when it comes to syntax (grammar), unless you're a prescriptivist. There is plenty of precedent for embedding subclauses (e.g., "Here is a sentence, that I just made up, which has an embedded subclause."), but -- beyond anecdotal data -- there is no hard cut-off point to how many times you are permitted to embed. Empirically, most people don't like more than one level, but plenty of people allow it; thus it becomes more a function of cerebral load than it does an argument of permitted structures.
I don't think there are really numbers that tell us what the vast majority and the tiny minority of applications use. I think most people will have here some personal bias, because they see the applications that they are working on, the applications that their particular industry is working on and think that the rest of world might be similar.

When I worked on simulation code some years ago I haven't thought about complex IO at all. Even when I did some basic web development (with PHP...) 16 years ago I had nothing but synchronous IO and was happy. Now realtime gateway systems are my daily business and the "typical application" looks completly different.

And you already have given GUI as a counter example yourself. More then a tiny majority of applications have a GUI. And all major GUI frameworks are built on top of asynchronous abstractions, because you want GUIs to be reactive (no hanging due to blocking stuff), and because every input port (either from a human input device or from network) can change the shared state and cause output to more than one output device.

You need to check the Phoronix Test Suite numbers, for a number of games on all but the latest AMD hardware the OSS drivers are actually faster than the Catalyst ones. One area where the OSS stack is functionally less than Catalyst is OGL 4.3+. I too use the OSS Radeon drivers and find that they are within a few percentage points of Catalyst numbers and occasionally double digit faster.

OSS drivers for the latest AMD hardware (<1 year old) is hit and miss.

As sad as the pollution is it's still quite amazing to imagine that in 1967 they were on the cusp of a revolution driven mainly by efficiency. At one point in the video they talk about magazine pages that have chips on the front and a schematic for a "real industrial application" on the back. This was literally the start of the "maker" revolution, it just took original makers like Woz to see it and many years of evolution so that people with minimal electronics training can build amazing things on the shoulders of giants before them.

In other words, there is no way for you to get continued access to Red Hat's binaries while redistributing them as part of a derived product. So the only sustainable strategy is to recompile the source code to create your own binaries. And if you do that, you must remember to remove and replace the trademarks because you are not allowed to use the Red Hat trademarks in any way on your product. So the difference boils down to Red Hat clarifying what that requires, while Canonical has remained intentionally ambiguous. Is that right?
Thanks for your response :)

I'm more into a long haul so scala sounds pretty cool.

But what just rushed into my mind is that angular 2 will be in typescript so learning scala would only be relevant for server side code. And using two languages when one can handle both doesnt sound quite convicing :/
Would you still recommend scala when I want to work with angular 2 in the near future?
Awesome, I knew nohup could be used for that, but hadn't worked out why it was called that.

Thanks for the feedback! As you can probably tell, the front end needs some work.

1.) The back button breaks in most (all?) browsers. I'm doing something odd with the history and I definitely need to fix it.

2.) The application does start loading the sidebar before it does much of anything else. It's kind of arbitrary and I suppose I could change it.

3.) I wasn't thinking of a self-contained product with an embedded database. I suppose Couch is higher maintenance than say, SQLite, but I haven't found it to be more onerous to administrate than Postgres or (especially) Oracle. I suppose a lack of familiarity on the part of sysadmins could be a possible issue.

4.) It was/is a useful feature during development, but I take your point most end users aren't going to use this feature as much as I have. Moving it is a good idea :)
I started with angular and due to my limited spare time I simply dont have the time to learn both. I'm very interestend in React but focusing on angular (and angular 2 in the near future) sounds more promising (based on random articles and news).

Do you think switching to react would be worth it? My angular pages are not very complex and I'm still relatively new to angular so switching could be possible.

As an ex-Dell support website developer (in other words I've worked with the service tag lookup feature) I don't understand why a root CA certificate is required for this.

I do remember that the previous incarnation needed Java/ActiveX support, which is admittedly now getting harder to run, so the new site now asks the user to download and run an executable.

Assuming the EXE is an installed application (I didn't investigate any further), this would give Dell full access to the user's PC anyway. Hence, I don't understand why a CA root cert enables Dell to do anything extra in order to locate the service tag from the system.

Whilst people do want to give Dell the benefit of the doubt, and think that the CA root was left on the build imaging system by accident, the real question is why it was there in the first place!

What purposes would a CA root certificate give Dell (even on their own test builds)?

Philosophy is also responsible for the scientific method and things like the null hypothesis. There's a strong tendency for 'hard science' folks to look down their noses at philosophy, but the truth is that the fundamentals of their research is squarely due to the philosophy. Philosophy is responsible for scientists developing the methods of rigorous observation.

Scala can be very good at interop - I still use Wicket (Java) for my Scala web UIs. And I'm confident that the Scala.js folk will have a good answer for doing UI, whether that ultimately means Angular 2, another existing framework, or a native Scala.js UI framework.

All that said, if you're thoroughly committed to Angular 2 (a mentality I don't really understand - I love Wicket but if an equally OO framework existed in native Scala then I'd use that instead) then using anything other than Typescript is probably an unnecessary risk factor.
> Daylight savings isn't messing with anyone's life, it's changing the arbitrary read-out on a human-invented device, nothing more.

If you work or have kids in school, you need to adjust your sleep pattern to match the readout on that human-invented device. Look at small children and retirees: DST does not affect them because they wake up whenever they want to. Seems to me that the root problem is that businesses and schools demand people arrive at work the same time regardless of sunlight conditions. It's stupid that billions of people change their measuring devices twice a year instead of just having businesses pick "summer hours" and "winter hours".
In my experience, moving people off EC2 cuts down on the ops time they need, it doesn't increase it.

For one of my clients that I manage multiple racks in two different locations for with 150+ VMs, "managing the hardware" comes out to about 1-2 days a year in aggregate to bring new hardware in and wire it up (most of that is travel) + 20-30 minutes to investigate the very few issues we can't diagnose and fix via IPMI. I pop a server in, attaches power and ethernet, checks that the IPMI is reachable and that it sees the PXE server, and beyond that "managing the hardware" comes to yanking the occasional dead harddrive and inserting a new one, and ever now and again to confirm a server is dead.

Meanwhile with EC2 I see most of the same non-hardware issues (e.g. kernel panic, applications occasionally spinning out of control and taking a server down) that are just as trivial to handle via IPMI as via the EC2 console, but we also have to engineer around things like the lack of solid, stable, directly attached RAID arrays, which we don't need to worry about with the bare metal servers.

And no, EBS does not count - the number of times volumes have gotten stuck in attached state on a failed instance terrifies me. It also can't in any way match directly attached SSD RAID setups for performance which is another reason why it ends up taking more ops time: You end up with setups that simply take more vms to compensate for platform limitations.

I absolutely think EC2 is great for things like large batch jobs etc. where your requirements vary wildly, but most people don't even have enough daily variance for that to get anywhere near compensating for the cost of EC2 (and nothing stops you from deploying hybrid approaches - in fact I'm working on hybrid approaches mixing bare metal servers with EC2 to handle batch jobs and load spikes now)
... and this is a prime example of the "developer ergonomics" v. "end-user needs" trade-off that was being discussed a few days ago re: web frameworks.

I mean, it's very well possible that the long-term investment in expanding the "base" of willing coders is worth the short-term loss in productivity. But even long-term investments in human capital need better planning than just "hey, I bet a high-schooler could deal with this simple accounting spreadsheet; that would train him even if it takes him a day to fix what I can fix in ten minutes". It's fine investing in high-schoolers, sure, but that's not the point.
Yes, you'd have to mine the nutrients there for this to be effective. As you say, there's no point lifting it all from Earth.

Organic life is largely made out of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen (the so-called CHON). There's not much carbon or nitrogen. This is one reason why people are so interested in hypothetical ice deposits at the poles. There's a reasonable chance that there'll be stocks of this elements there (in the form of ammonia or hydrocarbons).
