How much of a performance hit do you get running a VM with vtx and vtd versus running windows bare metal?

Is it as simple as it seems? I'd love to switch over to a VM for windows games backed by vtx and vtd, but I've been worried that it'd be waay more work.
Predicting what exactly?

1. New spotlight feature = on;
2. Toggle "fun facts and more" = on;

You know that images will stream in from the internet along with "fun facts and more" whatever that is. And when a Tomb Raider image appears, you're suddenly in Orwellian future shock mode?

The day MS takes away the toggle so you can't switch ads off, is the day to be outraged. Not before.
Any chance you have a parts list for your build?
Right, who needs hobbys or fun anyway. /s
It's not a drop in a bucket, but a drop in Windows sales. By giving away free upgrades to Windows 10, revenue for Windows has dropped. This is their answer.

It's obvious you have no idea. It's not about pricing. It's about that you have to registered as some sort of VAT ordinary or not-ordinary business. Hard to translate into English.

If you do business within EU with other countries you have to register for VAT and charge it. Then you have to get customer info and charge what his country charges....it's a mess.
Strong visions can be arrived at collectively -- but it requires trust, not voting. If I have 10 people, and 7 vote A and 3 vote B, then A should be the collective "strong vision". The thing is, those three people that voted for B still think that B was the best approach, because nothing has worked to change their mind post-vote. It's exactly equivalent to your boss coming and telling you to take out the trash, when you hate taking out the trash. You do it anyway, but you definitely don't put your full effort into it, and you might even implement small sabotages. If the trash bag is leaking, maybe you just let it leak as you take it out, instead of rewrapping it to prevent the leak. So now you have an ideological split that will manifest itself throughout implementation of the vision.

The way to fix this is to have honest, open discussion to collectively arrive at a vision. That way, there is no cognitive dissonance between the vision and the team members. The problem is, this is hard and requires a lot of trust. I'd recommend reading The Five Dysfunctions of a Team [0] if you really want to dig into this philosophy.

Is there an upgrade ? This is an unbearable nag screen.
I want a fully supported OS that will see upgrades. I'm willing to pay. I guess that means OSX or Linux for the forseeable future.

I used to think PCs that were sold had some vendor bloatware, but now the OS itself is bloatware.

Were Stallman & Torvalds simply precient for their viewpoints 20+ years ago?

Encryption control and gun control are equally as pointless. You can build a sten gun in your garage and some hard crypto in your bedroom.

The author doesnt understand firearms so he blames them, the average person doesnt understand encryption so they blame encryption.
My brother cut me a login to his Comcast Xfinity. I tried watching "The Magicians" on syfy.com--- and there's 100 seconds of ads, six times over a 45 minute show! It makes the cliffhangers and pauses even more obnoxious. I'm going to go back to torrenting.
I think using flat file human-readable serialization for relational data is the real kludge, but I guess that's just me.

But unknown numbers of captures indicates a non-regular grammar. You should simplify the grammar so you don't need them. I'd have each line adhere to /^(\w+) (.*)$/, and use the first capture to determine which regex you use to read the rest of the line. But this will break if there are newlines in the input. Hopefully it will error out if it gets a bad line, and even if it does, it will pass bad data in that case.

> Come on, what can you mess up splitting lines into fields?

Really depends on how clean your inputs are. A short list of things that can mess you up: newlines in your data, encoding inconsistencies, delimiters in your data. You have to handle all these manually if you write your own parser or risk unclean data entering the boundaries of your system. If you're in full control of your input, sure, go nuts, but I'd prefer a more robust solution because you never know what you're going to want to feed into it in the future.

A standard format may have inconsistencies in implementation, but the format itself bakes in the solution to these problems, and also tends to have somewhat-useful error messages when they break.

> Yeah, sqlite3 is a popular option. But it's more an alternative answer to the question of in-memory storage. It's not particularly suited as a human-friendly data interchange format.

My suggestion would be to treat these as separate problems and not expect one solution to provide both of them. Why do you need human-friendliness? To me, the usual way to provide that is with an application and not a data format. I could knock one of those up pretty quickly with Rails and an admin backend, I'm sure you'd have your own way of doing that that you're comfortable with. I will use command-line applications if Rails is too heavyweight, I do this for a lot of my utility apps.
Why do you think it's asymmetric? According to you, they can't make it without each other. Why is 50/50 such a problem?
That's some grade-A Hacker News skepticism, mate.
It’s OK. Don’t be afraid. You can stop micro-managing
It's a bit more complicated than that - dplyr and magrittr invented pipes independently at about the same time. I preferred magrittr's implementation, so switched to that. dplyr continues to import and re-export %>% so that you don't need to explicitly load magrittr.

How it's this in anyway a composer issue? Should this not be an issue on a specific project which is using composer? I am of the opinion that this is a non-issue overall.
I don't think that gives you the same kind of support. A crush you don't FaceTime/text/whatever multiple times a day for an extended period of time. And if you had to hide your feelings then there's no relief.
Orlando is 82' above sea level.

If you're worried about it flooding, you should probably spend less time building stilts and more time dealing with the fact that Delaware no longer exists, nor does most of New Jersey, New York City, large swathes of the Eastern seaboard, 75% of Louisiana, the Texas coast all the way in to Houston, much of Los Angeles, and all of Sacramento.

On the other hand, it will be nice to splash in the ocean at Joshua Tree National Park, and I'm sure Arkansas residents will be happy to finally be able to own beachfront property.
Risk is also what raises prices:

I agree with your overall point that they need to focus their product and drive it forward more than they've done in the past. I have some friends there and from what it sounds like, that's exactly what they're doing.

Re-vamping Groups, re-vamping mobile, cutting out dark patterns (e.g. they've reduced email volume almost 60% I believe through a regulation mechanism that they call Air Traffic Controller).
it's because they have not a reasonable soul and are subjected to an instict. Like free masons, communists and other materialist who by rejecting their inner freedom often fall into animalistic like state.
You don't really need to do anything that doesn't provide for your economic well-being. Some things a just for fun and that's great!

Buyer Persona: The Key Strategy to E-commerce Business
The real question is: should private citizens have the right to engage in private communication that the government cannot tap? That's essentially the data being asked for here.
As a founder of a company which started in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and joined Techstars NYC, I absolutely love what they are doing. The initial setup of the entity, the bank account, all the paperwork was a major distraction. It needs to be simplified and this looks like a step in the right direction. SVB was by far the easiest and most supportive option for getting your bank account setup when you're not (yet) in the US. Awesome initiative, great news for startups around the world.

Stripe if you're reading this, it would be great if you would make it possible to migrate Stripe accounts from one country to another. You're still charging me BTW (Dutch VAT) while our entity is actually in the US.

If humans can go multiple weeks without food, then how do biological organisms solve the problem of power storage better? Or does our brain and muscles etc just require less power?
No. And even better, when CarWings stops working at the end of the year because there's no AT&T 2G network for it to connect to, you'll still be pressing "OK" twice a day for no reason at all.

At some point, I wondered if n! is proportional to n^n.

Turns out, it is:

n! ~= (2 * pi * n)^1/2 * (n/e)^n

> Where does that come from?

It comes heavily from what you've been taught is important, which, funnily enough, is culture-dependent. A good many people would, for example, argue that a person has a right to shelter and sustenance, and to demand that from others when they can't access it - but other people will argue that people have a right to refuse to give resources to others, even up to the point of refusing taxation. One might argue that one has a right to work without discrimination or harassment - others might argue in favour of freedom of association and free speech, "if you don't like it you don't have to work for them".

To move even further away from currently implemented systems, one might argue that private property is not a right, which is actually entirely reasonable - property is solely a "right" to abridge others' rights, if we're going by the "what's a right is whatever you're allowed to do if nobody stopped you" definition. We could even argue that the ability to break a contract without retribution must be protected as a right, in some schools of thought. What rights "should" be protected - and in what circumstances - winds up being a matter of the opinion of the people who decide which rights to protect. There is no formal system of logic which starts off with no assumptions, and many of the ones which back politics start off with the goal - to protect people's rights, we must... protect people's rights.

Even the idea that a founding document should primarily enumerate rights is because of what you've been taught - why not enumerate duties as well, or instead? Why not write a manifesto with a general goal and proposed method of getting there and call that your founding document? What even is the goal of a founding document?

Why is abridging your ability to do whatever you want to any degree abhorrent - and why is abridging that ability in certain circumstances not so? Is it impossible to come up with a stable system which holds up a different ideal?

I don't really expect all these questions to be answered, as the exact answers are nearly entirely pointless - the point is that these questions can all be asked and different answers can be reached, many of which make sense.

For example, an argument that nobody has a duty to feed and shelter somebody on the edge of starvation, as that harms the person doing so, entirely ignores the harm that this protected right has on the person about to die of starvation - although of course to bring that up requires that the goal of your system of protected rights is to reduce harm, which may not be the case. However, the only way "we must protect all these listed rights at all costs, ignoring all other input" makes sense is if the goal of your system is solely to protect those rights. I don't personally feel that's a very useful thing to do, as it's tautological. A good many people will disagree.
doesnt hurt neither - i created bank accounts for less than that ;)
> Blame inequality all you want but even with perfect equality the pie in Egypt is not big enough to provide all of its people with the western standard of life that the people want.

Egypt has enough sunlight to provide all the clean energy needed to provide its citizens with first world quality of life. It just needs the funds to build/install the panels to collect that sunlight.
I wouldn't put Torvalds in the same category as Stallman here. IIUC, Torvalds initially made Linux free simply because he was doing it for fun. Now he couldn't change the license if he wanted to, and he's getting paid to work on it anyway. In any case, it seems that he's always been much less idealistic about software freedom than Stallman.
I thought Twitter banned external applications years ago. Or is this some SDK they use for their own mobile apps and have now shared with the developer community?
I've never used Skype. Is there something it does better or differently than any other VOIP/messaging client that's made their poor Linux support such a popular issue, other than it was better before Windows bought it?

My current daily means of communication on Linux is Google Voice/Hangouts, but I've also used others over the years, like GnomeMeeting/Ekiga, TeamViewer, and TeamSpeak. They've all worked fairly easily and without issue. With all the options, could someone explain why Skype matters?
Malware straight to the lock screen now? Wow. This behaviour just goes to show the advertising industry still has no idea about real-world concerns and opinions on advertising.

Australia implemented "a massive buyback of more than 600,000 semi-automatic shotguns and rifles, or about one-fifth of all firearms in circulation in Australia." Also, gun buyers must "present a 'genuine reason' for needing each weapon at the time of the purchase. (Self-defense did not count.)" Given that 80% of the guns were still in circulation, how do you defend yourself from them without a gun?

Yep, also called TANSTaaFL (There ain't no such thing as a free lunch).

Which is the point in context to someone saying "If only there really was universal expectation of free software...". With IP, the costs are hidden and it's easy to fall into the trap of expecting it to be totally free.

Surely such knowledge and technical skill in learning and teaching was arrived at by empirical methods. However, it is not subject to peer review and the controlled experiments one can run in order to verify it are not obvious. Watching an expert do their craft, one can observe their virtuosity and yet have not a clue how to explain it in words. There's no manual for teaching that one can read in order to become a master teacher. There never will be: skill is a knowledge beneath words. Still, whatever knowledge can be put into words ought to be. The best social science is the most modest: that which seeks to clarify and observe what human beings already do.

There is a double edge to this: institutions cargo culting science and producing monstrosities like the Common Core. Prescriptive social science can be a disaster. Teaching, being the most important profession, is a weird place where the people in charge completely disrespect the expertise of the people doing the work but understand that whoever controls it controls a great deal of society's functioning. That's why systems like the Residential Schools in Canada were allowed to do so much harm and why administrators are allowed to trample all over the interests of both students and teachers.

I wring my hands a lot over the bureaucratization, corporatization, and centralization of universities and schools. The powers that be most definitely wield the apparatus of science to harmful, unscientific ends.
it was probably outsourced and written exactly to spec.
They are our friends and i continuously asking them to make open standard instead of implementing everything on python and python database and make it work with psql or cassandra. I hope they will release something for this as we are wish to include zerodb to our encrypted messaging (actor.im).

* When logging in, pressing TAB when in the username field submits the form rather then go to password field.
* Now I've failed my login enough that I need to reset my password. And Live doesn't let me reuse an old password, guaranteeing I'll lock myself out next time.
* Even better, my Xbox won't login in now, so I either have to do this stupid dance again, or just use the Playstation.
"Natural rights" influence the Constitution (especially insofar as they influenced English Common Law, which is an even more powerful influence on the Constitution).

But it's very hard to argue that they control, because "natural rights" mean different things to different people.

(It is also the case that purported natural rights are frequently in tension with each other; there's no "natural tiebreaker" between "natural rights", which makes it hard to rely on them to resolve controversies.)

If you want to make an argument that the Constitution must implicitly protect some particular natural right not expressed in the text, it's helpful to be specific. Often, it's straightforward to infer the intent of the framers from their actions immediately after ratification.

You could say the same about installers bundled with some crapware toolbars installed by default - you just need to uncheck one checkbox! It's not about how much effort it requires to turn such bullshit off, to me it's a clear message from the company that you're just a sucker to be milked as hard as possible. "Oh, you've turned it off? No problem, we'll be more clever next time!" I refuse to use anything coming from such companies, even if it means more effort in everyday life.
Being able to query/search/sort on encrypted data sounds really powerful and super relevant for this day and age.

>it's very hard to compete with someone who is giving something away for "free" (note quotes)

There's at least one very promising competing model: give something away for free (note lack of quotes) and offer people the option to pay.

In the software world we usually do that by using the free version as advertisement for a better paid version, Patreon (and Dwarf Fortress etc) show that the model can even work if paying offers no notable advantages.

In my experience, the cgdb [1] wrapper makes gdb a viable option, by providing what I think is the sorely missing piece in vanilla gdb: a window continuously showing the code context.

It also uses vim-like bindings for going into "insert" mode ("i"), versus escaping out into code context navigation mode ("ESC").

I made a short 4 minute tutorial on how to use gdb/cgdb for debugging Golang, here:

Google has repeatedly said that they will not give preferential treatment for AMP pages. Almost every publication [1] and comment I've seen gets this wrong.

According to official comment, the ranking algorithm will prioritize page speed, and AMP is a good way to achieve that.

BloombergBusiness uses some questionable sentence structure in order to imply the opposite, but that's on them:

AMP isn’t “a signal we use in ranking” pages, Besbris said.
He declined to comment about whether AMP pages would rank
higher, though he said some of the signals Google uses for
search include whether a page is mobile friendly and how
rapidly it loads -- two problems that AMP seeks to tackle.
