The project supports for interaction to smartfox server 2x, 1.0.5 released
Pretty decent GPU performance, 80% performance of the non-overclocked 4790K, which is my go to desktop processor these days. And it has 40% of the performance of the top end processors available.

The GPU is rated 1,921 on the PassMark website, which is about 6x slower than the top GPUs. It is 3x slower than what were mid-range GPUs 4 years ago. It is okay-ish, but it is pretty slow compared to what is available.

Thus it is a good desktop machine for non-3D workflows. Like using Word or Web Browsing at 4K. I can not imagine anyone having problems with that. It will likely be quite snappy.

I think anyone interested in 3D games will be dissatisfied with the GPU performance, and that will be very pronounced at high screen (4K) resolutions.

I could see picking these up for our non-developer non-content creator employees. But not for our developers or 3D artists.

The Iris Pro 580 has about the performance of a desktop GTX 750ti which isn't bad, it can actually match the performance of "discrete" low to mid range mobile GPU's from both companies like the oh so popular GTX 750/850M.

You won't get any decent GPU in a package this small anyhow, that said you can plug in an external GPU via the Thunderbolt port with ease.

A big market for these that doesn't seem to be mentioned is the potential for business presentation use: sales, training, basically anything in an office.

Why carry a laptop, when the location you're going to has a projector screen you'll use, and likely has a keyboard (or carry a portable input device), and a power supply. And your files are cached on your favourite cloud.

Make a nice looking case for these, and they're impressive novelties, lighter than the lightest laptop, and probably a bit more stable than driving a projector from a phone.
25m at 50km/h is an over-conservative approximation peddled by driving test authorities who assume 1.5 seconds of reaction time.

Not for long. There's a glut at the very high end >£1m and prices are already dropping fast. This will only get worse when the foreign money dumps all its empty "investments" on the market.

The high end >£600k will follow.

I'd guess prices in the cheaper brackets will remain stable unless there's a big rate rise, because they're kept inflated by buy-to-let.

But landlords with big mortgages are in a precarious position after the tax changes, and it won't take much for them to start losing money.

The rental income on a typical BTL with an 80% mortgage used to be just £2k a year, now it's less than half that. Mortgage relief is dropping already, so expect to see some changes.
The High Cost of Low Morale – And What to Do About It – Barrett Rose and Lee
I'm shopping for a laptop lately, and you can actually get a pretty decent midrange laptop for that price (with a discrete GTX 940M or 950M GPU) and a 1080P display. It won't have an i7 in that price range, but with a better GPU you'd be able to play games more effectively, and an i5 is fine for everything I ever do. So, yeah, I agree...this is pricey for what it is.

I've also been surprised to find that laptops are now about the same price as similar specs in a desktop or small form factor mini PC.

Depends on what kind of dev you are talking about. In a consulting shop (enterprise or web dev or advertising)? Big company (software, hardware or where software dev is an expense)? Game company? Silicon Valley startup?

Senior devs in each of these types of companies have some skills in common and some that are particular.

The common ones, in my opinion:

* Ability to communicate with non technical folks

* Ability to estimate relatively accurately

* Willingness to do grunt work to raise team productivity

* Ability to work self sufficiently, own a big chunk of work, possibly leading small team

* Knowing when to raise an issue to higher ups

* Willingness and ability to mentor folks more junior

* Knowledge of the general software landscape for your domain, including what is buyable vs requires building

How to acquire?

* Seek mentors

* Always be learning

* Seek out folks outside of your department and learn what problems they face

* Attend conferences, technical meetups, or other online learning opportunities

* Help out

* Focus on solving problems and not on being right

The 224 People, Places and Things Donald Trump Has Insulted on Twitter
I'm from Spain and the argument I hear most is the opposite: they use expensive resources (health-care, which in Spain was universally free, with some limitations now after the cuts), pay no taxes, and put just a little bit of money on the bottom end of the economy (restaurants, service, overdevelopment of coast, etc.) This is in contrast with the kind of migrants that Spain exports, mostly productive tax-paying young people with university degrees. But we can't blame brits for this imbalance (and I'd always argue for more open borders not less). It's spaniards that since Franco times and still nowadays mistake easy money in tourism for development, and we hardly know what else to do nowadays.
I assume it's because they could get a local developer in Eastern Europe, India or South America for a fraction of the London price.

I'm having a hard time finding a reason why I would buy this over the Raspberry Pi. Like others have said for this to be useful as a general purpose computer you need to buy add-on boards for video. Compare that to the RPi Zero which is $5 bucks and includes an HDMI port. You can easily add a USB ethernet or wifi adapter to the zero for under 4 bucks and have a real $9 computer.

Not to mention the CHIP uses an AllWinner processor which has a record of not playing well with open source and a history of security issues.
How competitive is the Iris Pro 580 price wise ?
House prices rises are engineered. The latest bubble was created by offering huge tax breaks to landlords who would take on a mortgage on buy-to-let property.

This is easy money for the banks. They get most of the rental income in mortgage payments on a secured loan, while using the landlords as agents.

Foreign investors go where the bubbles are, and leave when the bubbles pop - which the London bubble is doing now.

Anyone who got in after 2008 made out like a bandit. But the party is over now, and we could be moving into hangover territory.

That's what openvswitch.ko is doing already. I agree that P4 is interesting also in this perspective: having the compiled P4 blob being ran either by the CPU or, if available, in hardware by a smart NIC.
That is me being lazy and showing a demo/concept experience, not because the web platform can't do this.

This is something I doubt. It would be rather easy to change the software and make it sync passwords, even on an individual basis. If this would come out, it would mean a big marketing problem, and could result in sales losses like 10-20%.

I said "could", but to be honest I think 2-3% is more realistic. Most people don't care. They want their data to be safe in case of theft, and have a backup in case of loss. Here on HN it's a big thing, but most users don't know, don't care.

If you're doing this in assembly, no problem so long as you understand the memory model of the cpu architecture you're targeting.

The memory model implemented by c compilers absolutely do not allow this. The problem is not cache coherency but optimization. The compiler assumes it understands the visibility of the variables and reorders, combines, and eliminates reads and writes. C is not a high-level assembler.

> A safer bet would be to use __atomic_load ... C11 atomics

These should work but be careful. Use the semantics defined by these constructs not the semantics of any assembly you might imagine the compiler generating.
> A safer bet would be to use __atomic_load and __atomic_store

Safer and an order of magnitude slower.
I find fanless designs that use Intel NUCs, or similar, way more interesting [1-5]. If I want power, I'd do a custom build and use a much bigger form factor for better cooling and FLOPS/$.

With zero crossing detection, it would need to know the buffer is running out before the next zero crossing occurs. So if the shutdown signal is given within the last millisecond before the zero crossing, it would ignore all data that comes after the zero, and output zero for the remaining partial wave. On starting up again, it would wait until the signal is at zero before beginning to output. At least that's how the common audio codecs I've seen that implement that feature work. The most common application is volume control, where you don't want a sudden change in the amplitude of the wave to result in a glitch, so you adjust amplitude at zero crossings.

Not really. Comparing contract with perm is not really a workable comparison.

In permanent roles the bump, if any, seems to be around 25%. If you're more junior in PHP the perm roles are similarly salaried in London as outside it (at least going on a friend who complained about this a lot a year or two ago).

I don't really get the point.

So at the moment, today, tech industry isn't dead / crashed . So we can find people who said that it will and point at them that they were wrong. And if the crash comes tomorrow, are we going to say 'well, it was predicted soooo', do the usual post-fact rationalization on how obvious it was, etc.

But so what? We can do exactly this for any prediction whatsoever. Wars, financial crashes, economical and political events, etc. People, from cab drivers to executives and ministers, make wrong predictions all the time.

I honestly don't see the point of it, other than highlight that someone was wrong and... feel good about yourself that you were on the winning side this time?

Should we stop predicting? Yeah, probably. But the ending 'And now Trump thinks we’re in a tech bubble too, so maybe it’s true.' doesn't really deliver this message.
Yeah. One of the nice things about CHIP is that in theory (mine hasn't shipped yet) you can just plug it into your computer over USB right out the box, open a serial terminal to it and configure it that way, no messing around with SD cards etc. The Pi Zero can't do that because it requires an SD card and also the driver support for USB-OTG is poor and requires manual configuration of device mode.

In light of the article cited here, the following extract of the original article contains some lies, i.e. that diamonds are value-holding assets. As a bonus, you also get some sexism for free:

"The woman expects the man to give her something valuable that retains value just like their relationship. Snapchat Millennials or not, getting engaged to be married is not about creating a snap-relationship with a snap-synthetic diamond that does not retain value." (said by Martin Rapaport)

So, in the end, I see this also as a fight between the two point of view: diamonds as jewerly vs diasmonds as finantial assets. The latter, I believe, is destined to die.
I got one of these the day it came out.

> TLA helps you prove properties of its specification, not its implementation. Or are you saying you can somehow prove properties of implementation too?

What do you mean by "implementation"? Code that would get compiled to machine code? Then no. But if you mean an algorithm specified to as low a level as that provided by your choice of PL (be it Haskell or assembly), which can then be trivially translated to code, then absolutely yes. In fact, research groups have built tools that automatically translate C or Java to TLA+, preserving all semantics (although, I'm sure the result is ugly and probably not human-readable, but it could be used to test refinement).

Usually, though, you really don't want to do that because that's just too much effort, and you'd rather stop at whatever reasonable level "above" the code you think is sufficient to give you confidence in your program, and then the translation may not be trivial for a machine, but straightforward for a human.

> Translating it to Python is going to be hard and full of mistakes.

Not hard. You can specify the program in TLA+ at "Python level" if you like. Usually it's not worth the effort. Now, the key is this: full of mistakes -- sure, but what kind of mistakes? Those would be mistakes that are easy for your development pipeline to catch -- tests, types whatever -- and cheap to fix. The hard, expensive bugs don't exist at this level but at a level above it (some hard to catch bugs may exist at a level below it -- the compiler, the OS, the hardware -- but no language alone would help you there.

But I can ask you the opposite question: has there ever been a language that can be compiled to machine code, yet feasibly allow you to reason about programs as easily and powerfully as TLA+ does? The answer to that is a clear no. Programming languages with that kind of power have, at least to date, required immense efforts (with the assistance of experts), so much so that only relatively small programs have ever been written in them, and at great expense.

So it's not really like PFP is a viable alternative reasoning to TLA and similar approaches. Either the reasoning is far too weak (yet good enough for many purposes, just not uncovering algorithmic bugs) or the effort is far too great. Currently, there is no affordable way to reason with PFP at all.

> No, that's the "easiest way" of reasoning about an algorithm that you might try to implement in Python.

You specify until the translation is straightforward. If you think there could be subtle bugs in the translation, you specify further. I'm in the process of translating a large TLA+ specification to Java. There's a lot of detail to fill in that I chose not to specify, but it's just grunt work at this point. Obviously, if a program is so simple that you can fully reason about it in your head with no fear of subtle design bugs, you don't need to specify anything at all...
personal brand image? oy vey

Other than that I suppose I largely agree with the sentiment.

I stopped voting in the Swedish elections partly because I don't see myself going back for a while and I don't think I should have much say if I don't intend to deal with the outcome..

I only maintain ties with my alma mater because they operate sports facilities and clubs that I enjoy, I certainly have no deep emotional connection to the institution itself.

As long as we maintain human to human bonds I don't think losing an artificial sense of community (particularly when used to create a sense of indebtedness or fear of leaving) from a workplace, institution or lack of mobility is any great shame.

Although it strikes me that when you essentially say that you cultivate a personal brand image, it may well be that you are simply replacing one artificial sense of community with another. My point of view would be that any "personal brand" that actually correlates with happiness would come naturally as a side effect of doing things you find fulfilling. Happiness is not a side-effect of some brand-building effort. But perhaps we have different metrics for success or indeed different ideas of happiness.
