History is interesting otherwise I generally agree that much of the humanities are opinions masquerading as knowledge.

It's not there is no value in opinions, there is, it's just that people have come to expect the rewards of knowledge for having opinions. And reality doesn't work that way.
A 40% increase over today's closing price? And a 10% increase over Apple's highest on record? There's no market reason to believe that.

Even if I had insider information that Apple had a "game changing" product or device, I still think $144.42 is unlikely, and there are no rumours to suggest that.
I expect micro kernels will be more prevalent in the future.
Hardware platforms will have to evolve to have more physical independence and redundancy (both by replication, and different-vendor components assigned to have same functions).
I am of a view, that micro-kernels are better positioned to manage those types of hardware platforms

Honest question, how much does an ad cost per 1000 impression(i think thats how its costed?).

I would imagine its that cost.

That is how much their being paid by the advertisers to keep the information open(as opposed via a paywall).

Im not sure how everyone else sees it, but thats my impression.
Funny that this should come up as I am currently building a game master assist for Cosmic Patrol (cosmic-patrol.com). I'm fairly new to rpgs and I didn't have the dice needed to play so I hacked out some python functions to roll the right dice and I've kept expanding it to handle more stuff.

Linode DDoS continues – Atlanta down for 16+ hours
Yes, that's one way to look at it. However, here's a Python symbolic differentiator I just coded now to make a more direct comparison, since Norvig's Lisp is very different from my Python in lots of distracting ways: https://github.com/darius/sketchbook/blob/master/misc/symbdi...

This symbolic differentiator could be made to not blow up, by memoizing, i.e. decorating with https://github.com/darius/sketchbook/blob/master/regex/memo.... . It'd still have the difference that it constructs an explicit formula in x, as a data structure; the autodiff code instead takes a particular x as input and calculates a value for just that x, where the value includes both an 'actual value' and a 'derivative' component. (Your library and compiler could get fancy and inline that computation at compile time back into a pair of formulas, and then yes, they ought to be exactly equivalent.)
Yes I did, my fault.

Yes, very annoying. It's a bug.

Initially a search result link on Google looked like this:

<a href="http://example.com">Example<br>http://example.com</a>

Around 2002 they wanted to track which link you clicked:

<a onclick="trackpage(this)" href="http://example.com">Example<br>http://example.com</a>

The trackpage() functions does a GET request to Google just before the href opens the link. This was in the days before AJAX! If you deactivated JavaScript, the noscript looked like this:

<a href="http://google.com?redirect=example.com">Example<br>http://example.com</a>

Around 2009 Google introduced a bug, and now every search result looks like the former noscript version - super annoying:

<a href="http://google.com?redirect=example.com">Example<br>http://example.com</a>

Not sure what you mean about "our suggestions were turned down by hiring committee" best not to have a hiring committee, sounds like avoiding accountability for hiring. Have the hiring manager make the decision for who they want.

Worth noting: "You’ll notice that Windows versions are split separately, unlike OS X. Many of the vulnerabilities across various Windows versions are the same, so there is undoubtedly a lot of overlap. The argument for separating them is probably one of market share, though that’s a hard one to agree to, given that Android and iOS are not split into separate versions. This is the nature of CVEs."

> That being said very few C++ IDE's have advanced refactoring due to the scourge that is the C Preprocessor. This also why most people, like myself, stick with Vim for C/C++ development.

C and C++ exploration and refactoring tools like rtags that hook directly into a compiler, and integrate with your editor of choice, have never failed me. I haven't put them up against too much in the way of preprocessor macro hell, but I've got to think they've got the best shot at doing "the right thing" in the face of macros.

Just as a random example, see this https://github.com/Andersbakken/rtags/issues/281
Is that blowup perhaps an artifact of displaying the result as an expression, but where the result as an internal data structure is more compact, because of sharing? That's what I'd expect, although I haven't tried Theano yet.

That is, I'd expect the sin((x + x)) which appears twice to be just one internal node which is referenced twice, and so on.
Fred Wilson: What is going to happen in 2016?
Many new users simple don't get it. They know only the Facebook app, WhatsApp app, YouTube app, SnapChat app, GMail app and use their web browser not at all or only to search for Google and then immediately search for Amazon.

Many simply don't know what the web is and how to write a search on Google. Someone has to explain them the concept or show them by examples.

It would certainly help if Android and iOS show a short introduction video about the web. Though both are more interested in guiding the new users to their AppStores.

AI is like magic.

If you don't know how it works -- it looks like magic. It can tell a donkey from a horse, it can play checkers, diagnose a patient etc.

After you are told the trick -- it is just A*, or Rete algorithm, or a multi-layer NN. It makes it less magic and it becomes just another algorithm.
That doesn't solve the problem of running someone else's arbitrary pre-compiled binary (whether that be an application or a driver) without letting it crash your computer. Which is kind of the one thing you expect an OS to be able to provide you; otherwise there's no reason not to just let every binary execute directly on ring 0 of the CPU.

(Though, I mean, you can sort of get around this requirement if you only accept "binaries" that are actually AST or high-level bytecode, and then finish compiling them in kernel-space at module-load time. OSX and iOS could get away with doing this soon-ish given that all new binaries submitted to the App Store are submitted as LLVM bitcode. Microsoft could probably get away with it for Metro apps as well.)

I honestly love Linode and am sure they'll come out better as a result of this. But our customers aren't as understanding. Currently we're playing a bit of cat and mouse and with each data centre going down - we're switching our recovery process into gear and restoring to a different VPS (outside Linode). We have linodes on pretty much all locations, but if this continues at this rate, we simply won't have any linodes left there.

It would be very hard to justify going back to Linode afterwards, even with the best intentions to do so. "... So you seriously want us to go back to this hosting provider that caused us all this mess over Christmas / New Year's??"
Your comment has me interested. What years are you describing?
VCRs behaved a little odd surrounding pausing. You probably remember back in the day - a paused VCR would show the frame it was paused on, but usually poorly, with some noise, a bit out of alignment.

This is related to the mechanical design of VHS tapes and the player. VCRs use helical scanning. What this means is that each frame of video is recorded on the VHS tape in a linear track that runs diagonally across the tape. Inside the VHS player, you may remember seeing a drum in the back that seems at an off angle. This is the helical read drum: it spins at a very high speed as the tape is pulled around it, and the combination of the slanted head drum spinning and the tape moving along it at a lower speed results in the heads mounted to the drum tracing these diagonal lines on the tape.

The TV draws to the screen continuously, 29.97 times per second, and draws whatever is coming on the analog video input at that moment. So for the image to remain when you have paused the tape, the VCR must continuously play the same frame back to the television. This requires keeping the drum moving and alternating the tape drive (the capstan motor) back and forth very rapidly to try to keep the same helical track aligned with the head over and over. This never quite works right, leaving a noisy signal that often has a bit of a shake as the tracking goes in and out each frame. Additionally, the capstan rapidly switching directions can damage the tape, which is why most VCRs will switch to Stop after being paused for a few minutes.

Laserdiscs had this problem much worse, as there was simply no practical way to get the disc back to the beginning of a frame quickly enough to rescan it. Higher-end laserdisc players could show a freeze-frame, but they did it with an electronic framebuffer that was digitally replayed to the TV. I wonder if there may have been higher-end VCRs with this same technology, but I haven't seen one.
Not social pressure; rather, Microsoft's continued revenue stream depending on an implicit guarantee of upgrades not breaking backward compatibility, even when what "broke" was an invalid assumption about undocumented APIs made by a third-party.

Speech recognition barely improved since the 1990s.

We had Dragon natural speaking on a 133MHz Win95 PC (offline of course). After training it for like 10min it worked better or equal as good as Ford's Sync car assistent (offline) and Siri/GoogeNow/Cortana. Well all these services licensed the Nuance speech technology which they got from buying the company behind Dragon natural speaking software. The Ford board computer runs WinCE and has only 233MHz and is still sold in many 2016 Ford cars around the world. And with cloud hosting, to scale the service each users gets only a small amount of total CPU timeslice anyway.

What I want is an offline speech recognition software on my mobile devices! So do I have to install Win95 on an emulator in my smartphone just so my multi-core high end smartphone can do what a Pentium 1 could do in 1996? My hope is on open source projects. Though most such OSS projects are university projects with little documentation how to build the speech model, little community, on an outdated site, written in Java 1.4 and no GitHub page. There is definitely a need for good and competitive C/C++/(native code) TTS and speech recognition project.
> am I the only one who considers the markets obsession of endless growth as absurd?

Likely not however we're only talking stock price here and the only thing that matters in investing in stocks in finding your way back to a return which typically happens when stock prices go up and you can sell higher or you get a dividend. Since Apple doesn't do the latter it has to do the former which means requires constantly growing the company.

So while in logic the endless growth is a bit absurd in the stock market it's either that or dividends (and even dividends may not keep it raising; all depends on how they're structured).

Travis, likewise.. I'm in Boca Raton so Miami is not far away :)
> what is the obsession with growth

Growth means return on investment. You gotta go in the public markets if you want to make a good return. That or dividends or a company being sold (which is obviously not going to happen to Apple).
The demo that zooms in and out of a PDF is much faster than it would be with CPU rendering. When you zoom in and out in an existing PDF viewer, it takes much longer than 1/60 sec to re-rasterize the page.

The CPU takes a long time to rasterize fonts. It only seems fast because the glyphs are cached. If you need text drawn in so many different sizes, like in that demo, the cache is not as effective.

Back in 2003, me and some mates set the Guinness World Record for non-stop movie watching (we clocked in at 'only' 63 hours and 27 minutes, but that was enough for the record back then). The rules set by the Guinness Book were long and quite specific, but didn't have a provision for 'technology failure'.

DVDs obviously existed back then, but most stores were still a mix of them and VHS (plus the occasionaly Laserdisc Pocket, futilely seeking a return on investment). We opted to go through all the movies on VHS - basically, a DVD fail was often 'all or nothing' while a VHS tape might scroll or stutter (and indeed, 58 hours in the machine overheated and gave us no visuals for a few scary minutes) but they would usually keep rolling and come good.

Now of course it's all digital, and my wonderful VHS collection taunts me every time I step into my office as I convert them one-by-one.

This discussion would be more interesting in the context of major new developments in OS kernels.

Microkernels are basically solving an engineering problem. That's exciting when engineering is the bottleneck holding up a bunch of really innovative ideas.

So what are those amazing kernel ideas being held back by engineering difficulties?
Good stuff.

Looking forward to the neutral binding layer for different javascript engines for Node.

Ideally for a given platform a native Node module should be ABI compatible with v8 Node or Chakra node - without the need for recompilation.
It is, but if you have to do a rewrite anyway?

The real gem in the rough with Python2 is PyPy4. You don't have to rewrite anything, while gaining CPU performance as a feature and dropping the GIL.

If you're not gaining that, I would probably switch to another language too. Elixir, Go, Swift, among others are definitely worth porting too.

I disagree and here's why. The web platforms he mentions are for following the lives of people you like. Links get in the way on these specific apps. Especially on mobile where clicking links by accident is a dread. If you want to share your web links then post it on your blog. Make a link from Twitter to your blog. But DONT expect apps to allow you to spam your garbage links to others. That's what Reddit is for.

Can't quite remember where I saw that, but I remember a comparable robot who was meant to wear opaque sunglasses. The idea was that since these robots aren't quite capable of looking at things and faces as a human would, they look like blind people, so we may just make them wear dark glasses.

I thought this was a neat idea. That would certainly make them look less uncanny, anyway.
The majority of iPhone users have no desire nor ability to understand the engineering genius that went into the internal design, and that is fine.

> anything where you a) name the things you're capturing b) can easily combine several small parsers to make a bigger parser will have a huge readability, testability and maintainability advantage over regexes

I think many regex libraries have named captures and in most languages you can either concatenate regexes or build regexes from strings which in turn can be built from concatenation. Furthermore, I thought building regexes by concatenation of smaller pieces was a commonly recommended technique for improving readability (I have no data on whether the recommendation is commonly followed or not, of course).

I'm reminded of the photograph distortions (e.g. https://thatwasabitmental.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/ringu1...) shown in the 1998 horror movie Ringu (which coincidentally has much of its plot dedicated to a VHS tape). How does such a simple blurring effect manage to do so much?

The IE metaphor is terrible for programming languages :)

I don't know about PHP, but C++ (and I suspect Java too) is backwards compatible and doesn't belong in the same class with Python. One can still compile older code and start using new features as they see fit, there is no hard break.

I would expect that for some modules (networking, video, and FS can be loaded as modules) you can just put the new version of the module in a somewhat-earlier version of the kernel.

I mean, if the ABI or internal kernel macros change, you're in for some porting work, but most of the kernel stuff can be configured as loadable modules. :)
Sorry for the mistake!
And the software on 'em is buggy as hell and QA is apparently non-existent. Take a look at the release notes for any recent version of RouterOS for the kind of bugs they {introduce,fix}.
I have no reasons to believe I know anything about the markets/apple/stocks/investing, but who would have thought the market would actually value essentially iPhones more than oil (and this was before this whole oil-supply-crisis we're in)? If sales turn out to be growth (which, as other commenters have pointed out it probably will since it's doom/gloom every year and every time) then the market will rejoice and probably drive it up to that height. Some big-investors thought it'd get to $250(!) a share. I think they were full-of-it, but the market responds in strange ways and 144 isn't too far from their height to reach if there isn't a major economic event that changes things in the meantime.
Flexport is hiring engineers
While your right this neutral bindings layer that the Microsoft team is working on could alleviate some of that and hopefully make it so the interface on the C++ and JavaScript side are the same for module developers but the engines are completely pluggable.

That would be pretty cool if they can pull it off.
