If you go by the price of the FLOPS the system has, you can get a price for a similarly powerful system from the 80s in inflation-adjusted USD today.

According to Wikipedia, the hardware with the lowest cost per 1.0 GFLOPS was the Cray X-MP [1], so you'd have to pay around USD 42M in today's currency for the computing speed of the Raspberry Pi Zero (I assume 1.0 GFLOPS for the Raspberry Pi Zero) in 1984 (~18M USD in 1984's dollars).

You could get an MB of RAM for USD 1,331 (1984's currency) in 1984 [2], which adds up to roughly USD 1.5M in today's currency.

Responding to your edit: what you say is true if this were a purely isolated change that would have only this one effect. But terrorism is so unimportant that other effects will almost certainly dominate. For example, purely hypothetically, if changes in education reduced engineers' propensity for terrorism to the average rate, but decreased the quality of output from non-terrorist engineers by 0.001%, that would almost certainly be a net loss to society. Or if it increased the quality of output by 0.001%, that would be a nice gain but almost all of it due to non-terrorism reasons.

If a change in education hurts engineering in general then it's going to be a bad idea. If it helps, it's going to be a good idea either way. The only way terrorism would inform any changes in education would be if you could find some dial that had practically zero effect on anything else.
Just wanted to say that I totally agree with your third paragraph and (as an educator) have a suggestion - the current grade management tools like Canvas feel like they're about 10-15 years old. Making a better one that's open source would not only cut down on the ballooning administrative costs that are contributing to the problems with education right now, but could also contribute to making classes more hands on (by allowing the teacher to branch out beyond tests into more creative forms of assessment).

If the UX people you've been working with haven't been doing post-implementation statistics and analytical measurement leading to refinement, then they are not UX people. They are visual or interaction designers playing at being UX people.

Unfortunately, the hard truth of it is that most "UX people" are in environments where the post-implementation cycle is ignored. For as many companies out there that claim to embrace the "UX process," I'd say that well over 80% of them don't actually embrace it beyond feature release.

With shipping (and the fact that Pis are currently hard to get) Pis can go up to $40 or $50.

In countries like India, that's expensive. Not prohibitively, but you think twice before using a Pi for a project. I'm currently studying at a tech institute and have been part of the group trying to get folks to do more tech. Generally we focus on Arduinos for freshmen because they're 3x/4x as cheap as a Pi and easy to get your hands on. I'd love to have more folks doing projects with Pis, but it's just too expensive.

Peripherals? They're lying around. You can find an old monitor or TV anywhere, or just share one with an existing machine. A lot of projects with Pis don't even need peripherals.
I seem to remember seeing this idea before (even before the 2013 date of this article and not being designed by the Chinese). Regardless of that, it's a really good idea: As well as making boarding somewhat more efficient, it really helps with energy consumption as there's no waste from slowing down and accelerating, because the train just loops round a course at constant speed.

That may not be the goal of this particular model, but it was the point of making the Raspberry Pi in the first place, yes. It was meant to be a modern equivalent to the BBC Micro; a way to give every kid affordable access to a computer with an aim towards teaching them computing (as opposed to using an office suite). They'd need a keyboard of some sort, but they could use a television as a monitor (as most of us once did). Languages like Scratch were part of the project. That seems to have gotten lost among the possibilities that a small, cheap Linux machine offers to the grown-ups among us.

>To be honest they should teach JavaScript instead of Python in highschools. Websites ('web apps'..) are a big deal in, atleast, teenager's life, so they could atleast install Tampermonkey plugin and script some functionality for their favorite websites.

I've never ...monkeypatched websites, and I've been a professional web programmer for 17 years. Now, I could very well be an outlier, but I don't recall any of tens of tech colleagues or friends in over 4 countries really going into that.

I don't think that's a valid use case for teenagers to learn JS for. There many other reasons of course -- but monkey-patching "their favorite websites" would be very low in that list.
The attached audio is pretty good.
If you don't force it to be a certain value, its hardly reserved. Then it's just a free bit that anybody can use for anything. Reserved means it has to be able to be used for something else in the future, and for that to be possible it has to have a known default value.

Teardown shows Nest Cam is always on even when you think it’s off
I've been watching The West Wing again (also Sorkin), and even though I really like the show, at times I cringe at how self-righteous and patronizing the writing can be.

One thing that made the show more palatable was the addition of Ainsley Hayes, a Republican who is hired by the White House on the president's insistence (and causes much grumbling from the other characters initially). She specifically calls out the self-righteous attitude of the other characters and their simplistic view of all Republicans as gun-toting hillbillies.

I stopped watching The Newsroom because it was both more extreme in its partisanship and in its oversimplification of the opposition. And it didn't have an Ainsley Hayes character (or at least not one as good).

I grew up as a very religious evangelical christian, and as such I grew up alongside many American evangelicals who would never vote for the baby-killing atheist Democrats.

And while I strongly disagree with most of their views, I've come to realize that this is not because they're stupid and I'm smart, or because they're mean and I'm kind, or because they're lazy and I am not, but rather most of the time it's because we just disagree on some very fundamental issues. If I were to accept their axioms to be true, they can provide coherent and perhaps even convincing arguments. I know this because I believed much of what they believe myself. Sure, I was younger, but I wasn't stupid. Or at least not more stupid than I am now...
Auslogics Driver Updater 1.7.1.0 Keys Working Free
> The people driving at a constant speed are not the problem. They keep traffic flowing smoothly, even if it is slightly below the speed limit.

No, they don't. They create pile-ups behind them when driving unreasonably slow. I see it every day. Dozens of cars stuck behind slow drivers and huge empty gaps of road in front of them.

The only way they would keep traffic flowing smoothly is if they did not drive slower than the surrounding traffic.

> The ones who create the problem are those changing lanes to gain 5 mph and get to their destination one minute sooner.

I think you might be ascribing causation where it doesn't exist. Most of the cars I see zig-zagging through traffic (which is futile given the problems I highlighted) do so because of the aforementioned slow drivers who unreasonably plug-up the road. People get impatient and the zig-zag game starts.

I see this effect every day. Leaving the valley the road slopes up. You are climbing. Early in the morning traffic is relatively light. People are moving at, say 75 mph. And then it happens. A few cars have drivers who, for some reason, do not maintain speed while climbing, they slow down to 65, even 60 going up the hill. The cars are perfectly capable of maintaining speed, it's the driver who does not.

When this takes place the effect is nearly instantaneous. Cars pile-up behind the slow-climbing cars and a few of them start zig-zagging to get around them. It's a mess. And with more traffic it launches a wave that ripples backwards and starts what eventually becomes a big problem as more people pile onto the highway.

The cause in this case isn't people who want to drive too fast, the root cause is drivers who do not maintain speed during a climb.

> If people would just pick a lane and a speed and stick to it the overall throughput of the road would be much improved.

I completely agree with one modification: Speeds need to be layered. There are people who want to drive unusually slow. There are trucks and buses that drive at 50 mph. They should not be allowed to get over to the left, pick that lane and stick to it.

That's the problem I am referring to. We don't have any rules that prevent someone doing 60 mph from inserting themselves into traffic flowing nicely at 70 or 75. They come into that flow and it's like a rock in an otherwise laminar flow stream, they create turbulence.

It's not about going fast, it's about extracting better efficiency out of the road. I don't have a problem with folks who want to driver slower. Good for them. Just get out of the way and let the rest of the traffic flow nicely.

The Opposite of Fitts Law
The science behind meditation, the core techniques, and how to make it a habit
I am not sure what you mean by "the form of the theorem looks much more arbitrary".
The derivation of Bayes law comes from the axioms of conditional probability.

Given two events A, B; we have:

P(A^B) = P(A|B) * P(B)

Probability of A and B = Probability of A given B happened times probability of B

Symmetrically, we can say:

P(A^B) = P(B|A) * P(A)

Now we have:

P(A|B) * P(B) = P(B|A) * P(A)

Rearranging, we get:

P(A|B) = P(B|A) * P(A) / P(B)

So I do not see this as being particularly arbitrary. While other rational models are possible, I find this one rather practical and satisfying.

I'm a software engineer. I work on a contract basis, contracts last 3 months to a year. I've recently made CI pipelines, Win 8.1 apps, IOS apps but mostly web-apps. The pay is good and the people I work with are cool.

I don't love it though. It's OK. It'd be better to code 20% of the time and observe, talk, think the other 80%. I think that this might make me more efficient and more productive.

My best job was my first. A guy had a profitable web-site and no technical knowledge, there was no notion of best-practice, and he hired me to do everything/anything. The environment was smokey, the equipment shoddy and the business practices disordered. I was straight out of uni and free to make any decisions I saw fit, any mistakes were on my head.

[edit] Thinking about it, it was the shear honesty of the place. I don't think anyone even tried to dress up what they were doing in jargon or exaggerations. Words like 'passion' were never applied out of place.
Not zero gradient, but you may be surprised how much control we have over the interior. Thermodynamics lets you get that by controlling the exterior temp plus time. If you study the heat flow involved with cooking (see some simulation graphics on our site), you'd find that the interior generally cooks with low gradient to start with.

The results are really delicious.
Really appreciate your writing this. While I agree 100% that those realities are unfortunate, I think it's a related but somewhat tangential issue bordering on threadjack due to loud vs quiet, classical vs "garbage", etc. Those are subjective. What you're getting at is the current unquestioned appeal of the shiny and new. Reminds me of a quote I mention often, heard when mentoring a junior designer a few years ago. He said, "yeah I've got a book on typography, but, you know, it's from the 90s."
When someone says they're robbing a bank, they send in the SWAT team, but the first thing they do is set a perimeter and try to make contact with the people inside.

Zero of these incidents that I've read about have tried to make any contact with people inside. They just break down the door and invade the house, guns drawn, smoke grenades in cribs, whatever it takes to make entry.

I have no idea why it isn't protocol to have a hostage negotiator ring the house, given that's how they'd respond to several other classes of incident, but my guess is that's what happens when you pay for BearCats and bullet-resist vests instead of councilors and negotiators.
Methinks the commenters here are having too much fun contending the amd&arm claim because it's in the headline and it's fun to call articles stupid. But that detail is only incidental to the message of the statement. And at this moment, I don't see anyone discussing the meat of this resignation letter.

> So, today, we're building disposable systems, without any consideration to future products, because when the time will come, we'll pick the next trendy SoC. No need to have what makes an architecture: a vision towards the future allowing different hardware generations to share hardware and software; a design allowing today's software to be able to run on tomorrow's hardware as long as the changes are not too drastic; consistency in choices of busses, key chips, address maps; a real firmware, not something utterly disgusting as EFI which can't even compete with > 20 years old Open Firmware (IEEE 1275); and reliably enumerable busses. No, sir, we'll take today's latest SoC, wire a few extra devices wherever we can find some hole in the address map, put a castrated u-boot on it, and today's stable Linux tree, and here you go, here's your ``platform''. And people cheer.

This issue at hand is that a minority of oss developers sometimes fight very hard to keep a long-term architectural vision maintained. But, an overwhelming majority just swoops in and does the minimal work necessary to get what they need running today with little consideration for tomorrow. Eventually the long-term minority gets frustrated by being eternally overwhelmed and resigns. This is such a case.

So, questions seem to be: Is this really inevitable or can something realistically be done to improve the situation? Is it going to bite us in the ass or is it actually "better" in a worse-is-better kind of way?

It is the same with people who use tripcodes to standout from the mob. The fact that you are no understanding of the 4chan dynamic and come here to lecture about 4chan culture is a bit rich.
I think what he's saying is that on an anonymous message board, there is no reason to bring gender into the conversation other than when it's explicitly relevant. Announcing or displaying your gender(or anything else about your identity) is to depart from the concept of anonymity. It doesn't make moral or ethical sense to me, but it does make logical sense. They see identity as a cry for being "special", and there's probably some serious immaturity at play in attacking that itself. Drag you down to their level of sameness, so to speak.
