OpenGL has native support for sRGB blending, so maybe keeping the same gamma allows them to use the same hardware to accelerate Display P3 blending.

Though I think sRGB's gamma is technically the much more complicated

{ cs / 12.92, cs <= 0.04045
cl = {
{ ((cs + 0.055)/1.055)^2.4, cs > 0.04045

and not exactly 2.2.

This is a quite neat example, but it looks like the QNX shell mixed several concerns about how do you connect to these machines, how do you secure the communication, etc.

$ ssh @2 "cat /path/to/large/file" | ssh @3 "/bin/grep 'foo'" | ssh @4 "cat >/tmp/output"

is rather clunky, but separates those concerns well.

Your question inspired by articles we read every day that if we don't do something there will be irreversible damage, ocean rise in X years. But what can I do? After reading that stuff you feel powerless.
Even if you die, disappear, thus stop contributing to the CO2 and waste, it would not make any difference. Your contribution is less than a drop in the ocean.

Don't understand why you're being downvoted. Good design for Company X does not necessarily reflect with what great design means for Bootstrap (I say this as a guy who almost never gets anything designed anymore). But it's a matter of budget reality for most people and companies that - it's really expensive to have competent developers AND competent designers for fledgling products. Perhaps there ought to be more money - and spread out better - in startups & product companies.

When Steve Jobs came back to Apple he did a Q&A session at WWDC. Someone asked him why Apple was moving away from unique (proprietary standards) and Steve said it was pointless to do your own interfaces/standards if the existing ones were good enough and that Apple would only do its own thing when no existing solution would work.

Apple created lightning before USB-C existed. In fact I'd wager USB-C wouldn't exist if Apple hadn't created lightning (it costs money to introduce a new standard after all, and the USB-IF is made up mostly of cheap-ass PC makers who will do anything to save a penny... also why USB-C isn't a solid lug like Lightning).

Apple created Firewire 400 when USB was stuck at 12.

Thunderbolt wasn't Apple's creation, it was Intel's extension of the PCI bus to an external interface. Intel is the one who pushed it as the next great thing and promised to roll it out, then pushed onerous licensing terms and took their sweet time rolling it out to all their chipsets.

Even FaceTime couldn't be open-sourced due to patent trolls winning a lawsuit against Apple over the peer-to-peer protocol it used, resulting in Apple having to redesign it to use a server-based scheme (in other words the reason we don't have cross-OS, cross-device video calling right now is due to patent trolls. Think about that for a minute).

Why hasn't Apple updated the Thunderbolt Display for Retina? Because the DisplayPort spec can't handle the resolution and hasn't been updated for it yet (at least that was the cast last time I looked). I'll also note Apple contributed the mini-DisplayPort spec back which is why anyone can use it now.

CGP Grey has a very good explanation of this situation.
I get what you say. Blaming oneself for procrastinating (or for anything else) for sure doesn't help. But awareness of the issue is essential. And doing something to address it. Exercise is always a good thing. Naps are good too. Or reading. Or ...

But the most effective thing that I've found is getting some piece of the work done. Maybe just a tiny piece. That puts me on an upward spiral, and so it's easier to get more done. And so on.
Maybe, when Ion gets supports for most major languages. I won't touch it now because it means to go Java for every application that reads or writes to that queue. Not because of Java, but because it's only one language. It should get on par with support for the other formats listed in the comments before one should be confident to use it.

I'm not really sure what you mean when you say "piping is systematically broken". It sounds like you might be trying do something that isn't really meant for piping.

I've been working in ops for quite some and only within the past two years got to work with PMs. Some of them are absolute pleasures to work with, but.. get more than two PMs on a call and just sit back and watch the chaos of Getting Nothing Done in full force. It's pretty amazing until the dread kicks in that those same bickering folk are making a huge portion of the decision making around the world. Bless the souls who can deal with that and do a good job at the same time..

My most notable experience with PMs was when a PM gave another PM a six month project to me and only introduced himself about a month before it was over. Normally, this wouldn't be that bad at a big company, but the dude was maybe 100 feet away and could've stopped by at any time. Ugh, I say!
I kept reading through the article, ploughing through the graphs but at no stage did the author write anything that conveyed how good it was in terms I could relate to. Some things need to be written about subjectively rather than objectively.

I wonder if this is a win or loss for Uber. On one hand it gives them the court victory and the end of a resource-draining legal battle (for now). Yet, this also may show they fear going to court. Instead preferring to threaten a long drawn out court stay, resulting in a settlement. Also there is the third option that the drivers real quarrel was not with their classification but their mistreatment. The settlement terms appeal to that notion.

> "you are biased even if you don't realise"

Yes. For example, I looked at some online "implicit bias" test from some well-respected university. Well, started to take.

One of the first questions was whether I associated "black" (in general) with sports. I do. It was obvious that answering truthfully was going to dramatically up my "implicit bias" score.

But I don't do this because I am biased, I do this because my lived experience tells me this association is a true reflection of the world. I was on my high school's track team. In a school that was (guessing) >90% white, I was the only white guy on the sprint relay team. When going to the next level (county championships), I was the fastest white guy in the 200m that I competed in. I was also the only white guy (came in 4th of 6) in the 200m finals. Or look at the running competitions in the Olympics. Bias my ass.

Aaaand...it doesn't apply to individuals. When I see President Obama, I don't think "sports", I think "President of the United States", and "amazing speaker" and "says things like 'that makes no sense' when people make no sense". And

But I guess "reality = bias" these days.

That is nice in theory but nobody really wants that. In practice I do not want to run my app on 40 different services potentially owned by different companies. If you mean that inside one company is fine than I believe ec2, s3 etc seperately already provide what you say: if you would make them simpler it would get annoying as you would have to set up yet more services (within the same portal, which is a bit better) to get stuff done. I think the theory is nice to start off but I do not think there is a real market for 'dead simple with one little useful thing'. Then again: try it, who knows.
> Silbermann helmed the process, bringing his kids by the office on the weekends while he checked in on the team as they raced to transform Pinterest into a sleeker, faster service.

I don't feel like we should be praising people who do this kind of thing. If you are really into your work, that's wonderful and all the power to you. However I hope that if someone is going to have kids they spend proper time with them, and I don't consider bringing them to work a good way to spend time together unless you want to show them what you do.

Personally I feel like all this "love what you do and be inspired" or whatever is just a ploy by companies to get people to work overtime without overtime pay, but if it makes people happy then I have nothing against it.

I almost want to say there is a group of people who take advantage of young developers by telling them they are super awesome rockstar ninja hybrids and using their ego (or probably more likely, lack of) to get them to work more.. But hey it's all fine because capitalism or something right?
Most PhDs pursue their subject because they are very interested in it.
That interest may stay the same, it may (in most cases) die down / be satisfied, or it may intensify.
You will always be wondering whether academic was for you or not unless you do a PhD.
Bankers are taking risks with other peoples money and in such situations the incentive structure is critical to manage behavioral risks. Another way to reduce risk is to increase loss reserves. If reserves are to be increased either capital needs to be added or more profits need to be retained. A large share of bank profit goes to upper level employees and not bank shareholders or are retained as reserves.

Comparison to CPU is also important IMHO, and for that you need to be aware that terminology is very different.

What nvidia calls a "core" is more like one entry in a SIMD unit on a cpu.
What nvidia calls a "SM" is closer to a CPU core.

There is more to it than that, i.e. gpu cores are more independent than entries in a cpu vector unit, but on the other hand, but gpu "SM"s are less independent than cpu cores.

It's also worth keeping in mind that mediocre cpu code will run circles around mediocre gpu code. To get the gpu magic you have to invest a lot of effort in tuning for the architecture.
Motivation is the big factor. Most PhDs are smart enough to pursue a career in higher ed, but it takes a PhD to evaluate your level of motivation / love of the subject.
Intrinsic motivation is becoming even more important given the incentives for entering the field are diminishing (job insecurity, more senior management, publish or perish).
The real way is:

"price": {
"amount": "1500",
"scale": 2,
"symbol": "GBP",
}

Currency has 3 properties, the amount, scale, and symbol.

Amount is a string, it holds a bigint. Yes, it's a string.

The value of Scale can be up to 5 but is usually 2 or 3.

Symbol is the ISO code.

Whenever I see a financial system that uses "amount": 15.00 I know that the system is ill-conceived.
The hatred is natural because in the end both groups are competing for work, and if people are going to work a billion hours, then you're going to be expected to work a billion hours too or go unemployed..

Personally I find it annoying that the article talks about working overtime like it's something to brag about.
>But the most effective thing that I've found is getting some piece of the work done.

Can confirm from personal experience. If you manage to make yourself start working and get at least something done, it is a huge incentive to continue.

Wouldn't you? The regulators receive direct or indirect instructions. They can see what happens when they choose not to listen. So why bother playing hero? Real life is not hollywood. You can always make the opposite argument no matter how flawed might be e.g. "hey! this guy is killing corporate America whilst the entire world is the midst of a crisis! It's crazy right?", you know how many bellow 50k/year households will buy that argument? It's crazy ;-)

For me, the code I did give, is not a workaround.

It's the canonical way of do it.

Other ways, even if they are "expected to work by inexperienced occasional users"... are simply flawed a first eye view.

A workaround is to ditch shell script, as soon as you face a problem, and blame shell script, and turn to do it in a "more advanced language" that has the same or more caveats. That could be a workaround.

Delimiting file names with null bytes, in case they could be split by any of the $IFS values, is NOT a workaround, is pure logic.

Uber's entire spiel is avoiding the capital hit associated with purchasing a pricey asset that depreciates quickly by keeping it on driver's personal balance sheet, not theirs.

I agree autonomous driving changes some cost dynamics, but on the other hand people not only have higher expectations on rented vehicles as far as cleanliness and safety go (that "check engine" light is no longer optional, dirt from previous passenger's shoes needs to be vacuumed, random leftover trash and water bottles need to be taken out), but are also likely to abuse rented vehicles for random dirty jobs like hauling potted plants from the nursery, as well as plain old bar hopping while drunk with associated sanitary accidents.

It's parameter sweeps of a delay differential equations, one simulation per thread. This requires a lot of complex array indexing and global memory access, so arithmetic density isn't near optimal. Still, it's a real world workload that benefits hugely from GPU acceleration.

Moving from a GTX 480 to a Kepler or Maxwell card, the numbers go up, but not the performance. I might have a corner case, but before investing in new hardware, I would want to benchmark first and not blindly follow the numbers.
>Just do your work if you want the results.

Quote from the article: "As I tell people, to tell the chronic procrastinator to just do it would be like saying to a clinically depressed person, cheer up."
I followed this advice. Now I have two closets and I have laid them out identically.

They are a mile apart, so if I'm inside one and want to get something from the other, it takes forever.

There's no way to quickly discover if my wife has added clean clothes to the closet I'm not in. She only tells me at dinnertime.

My closet manufacturer sold me the pair of closets for just a little more than twice what a single one cost, but a four-closet setup was ten times the price and a three-closet variant was not available. They told me there was an eight-closet setup too, but nobody really knew how to use it effectively.

Each closet has a cubbyhole which is always open and super accessible. It is large enough for one single sock. I complained about this and was offered to replace all my socks with more expensive ones that take half the space but barely cover my ankles.

The next larger compartment is big enough for one whole outfit, but not in the wintertime. Sometimes at night if I have nothing to do I will fill it with the outfit I want to wear the next day. By the next morning there's a decent chance I'll have changed my mind, but that's OK, it only cost me a few calories.

There's a larger door I can open which has a few outfits in it. I use this pretty often, but the damper on the door is super-stiff and it takes quite a while to pry it open. And if one of my siblings also wants to use it, I have to wait. Ten years ago I lived by myself, but now the house is pretty crowded and we don't have space for more closets.

Finally there's a huge area in the back that I can walk into and get anything I want. The distance to get there is about as long as a football field. Once in a while something I stored there gets damaged, but there's just so much stuff that I probably won't notice. I have no idea how they fit this thing in my house; those closet guys are geniuses.
Indeed. That's one of those science nuggets I love telling people because it's universally accessible and blows everybody away. Suddenly makes galactic timescales and gravitation real for people.

(Or they're just being nice to me...)
Our current inflation metric only captures prices of consumer goods. All the inflation that was intended to happen was actually absorbed by the financial market.
No, he means WildTangent.

And he didn't "make" DirectX or "put it together". He just advertised it. He's an "evangelist" not a "designer" or "developer" or "programmer". That's marketing, not engineering. And it was successful marketing because it was dishonest, heavy handed, well funded marketing, with no hint of self awareness or irony, which he kicked off by throwing a party that cast Microsoft as the Empire, and developers as slaves to be auctioned off and fed to the lions. The early version of DirectX he was evangelizing was a piece of crap. Look up "Direct3D Retained Mode" some time. [1]

[1] Direct3D Retained Mode removed from Windows Vista: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/969150

The alternative to "Retained Mode", "Execute Buffers", were just as bad if not worse in their own way [2]:

>Direct3D initially implemented "retained mode" and "immediate mode" 3D APIs. Like other DirectX APIs, such as DirectDraw, both were based on COM. The retained mode was a scene graph API that attained little adoption. Game developers clamored for more direct control of the hardware's activities than the Direct3D retained mode could provide. Only two games that sold a significant volume, Lego Island and Lego Rock Raiders, were based on the Direct3D retained mode, so Microsoft did not update the retained mode after DirectX 3.0.

>For DirectX 2.0 and 3.0, the Direct3D immediate mode used an "execute buffer" programming model that Microsoft hoped hardware vendors would support directly. Execute buffers were intended to be allocated in hardware memory and parsed by the hardware to perform the 3D rendering. They were extremely awkward to program, however, hindering adoption of the new API and prompting calls for Microsoft to adopt OpenGL as the official 3D rendering API for games as well as workstation applications. (see OpenGL vs. Direct3D)
