Okay, so how is this a response to the parent's comment? The parent said that Trump announced his foreign policy position at a pro-russian think tank and that he has a few aids who worked with the russians, and that the russians may release the emails to favour trump. and your response to that is?
I think the reason for the down votes is the post is kind of trollish. The points raised by the OP are the sort of spurious arguments that are brought up by the "intelligent design" promotors. Of course the OP could have just been innocently influenced by them, but it is always hard to know.
A few of my friends and I are working on the design of a robust, portable computing form factor. After previously consdering various of the Gigabyte Brix Pro series, we settled on the Skull Canyon as the core of the ensemble, currently composed of:

1) Intel NUC Kit NUC6i7KYK

2) 32 (2 x 16) GiB DDR4 2133MHz RAM (G.SKILL Ripjaws)
3) 512 GB M.2 NVMe SSD (Samsung 950 Pro)

4) 9.7" 2048x1536 DisplayPort Monitor (Adafruit Qualia kit)

5) 104 key mechanical keyboard w/Cherry MX Blue switches (DAS Professional)

Everything worked the first time it was plugged together, and now the system can run StarCraft II: LoTV with medium settings under Wine on Arch GNU/Linux. The next steps are to transform the output from a LiFePo4 motorcycle battery (via a DC-DC converter) to the correct voltage, furnish a case and smaller keyboard, and start testing/optimizing the setup in the field.

Edit: The 45W TDP of the NUC6i7KYK was its main advantage when compared to discretely sourcing comparable or superior components for a mini-ITX build. Even after doubling the power draw to account for a screen, speakers, and additional cooling, two kilograms of lithium should provide two hours of roaming battery life (and weight minimization is low on our priority list).

> the technology had not caught up to the economic feasibility.

Nowadays it often seems the other way around - the technology is there, but the economics are questionable. The disconnect between valuation and even the most optimistic revenue projections for something like a chat app or a picture-sharing site can reach two orders of magnitude in the wrong direction. The market for tech companies themselves has become completely disconnected from the market for those companies' products and services.
I would suspect atomic weapons scale much more easily than cities. Even if that wasn't the case, assuming the target is the commercial center of a city you don't even have to use more powerful warheads.

I see a much less scary, but still ignoble, incentive behind this: the cementification of cities and the money it brings to all people involved.
Maybe it's madness. Or maybe they actually get enough value out of it to be worth what they pay.

For a decent one bed flat anywhere in Zone 2/3 you're looking at £1500pcm. Let's be charitable and say that includes bills and council tax.

That leaves £1250pcm disposable. At least £100 will go on a Travelcard. If you're sensible, you'll be putting some money away in a pension as well. Let's say another £100 of net income.

That really doesn't leave much to lead a lifestyle commensurate with a young professional earning £50k. Yes, you can scrimp and save, but even then you're not going to be putting more than £500 away in savings each month.

At that rate, it would take you upwards of 10 years to save even a measly 10% deposit on a £600k property (which, at this rate, would get you an even worse one bed flat than the one you're renting).

Your "argument" seems to be: Who calls McD unhealthy or bland must be "fucking brainless", also if McD food were as cheap as it is, because it's of the worst quality, that would totally make sense. But for some reason this isn't the case. Indeed, it is "better than shit."

If you enjoy tasty food, by all means, eat it. But if you think deep-frying or pickling is the best way to serve vegetables, grilling meat puree to death the appropriate way to prepare BBQ and the main ingredient in good ice-cream can be corn-sirup, then you have a lot to discover in the world of tastes.

I think it is a good question. But where does the definition of species go when A can produce offspring with B, B can produce offspring with C but A cannot produce offspring with C? Would you be willing to label B as an intermediate form?

Moreover, recognizing that the theory of evolution does not really speak of "intermediate forms" but of common ancestors, would you be willing to label an extinct (but well preserved in the fossil record, including its DNA) species that is the common ancestor of two species as an intermediate form?

In other words, what would be the evidence for evolution to convince you of the reality of the theory?

I would expect them to carefuly do the assigned experiments and record the results. If they can be trusted with mounting cars they can be trusted with reading and writing.

Assign same experiments to 10 different teams all over the world to be sure. Would be actually better than unmotivated incredibly bright people hastily doing these experiments once.

As other comments point out, whether there is a bubble (extreme overvaluation) or not depends in part on the financial background. If you just look at interest rates, they tell us that the future will be stable, the world is awash in capital, and you'll have decades to extract the value of your investment. For example, the $247 per LNKD user could be reasonable, notwithstanding that only around 1/4 of these users reportedly are active. So over 20 years, getting about a dollar a month per user will break even. And this is just one aspect, since global growth trends and unlocking network effects offer more value. But these metrics don't give the whole story. The central banking infrastructure pumps capital into the world due to deflationary fears, so can we really trust interest rates and assumptions of stability and growth trends to determine whether the value of unicorns is enduring?

An interesting aspect is Altman's position, argued by citing "they were wrong time and time again" data points. His day job is to create new ventures, some of which will presumably disrupt existing giants and lower their value. This dynamic is dangerous to the assumption of stability in organizational trends upon which value metrics are based. In some sense, there is overvaluation (because new opportunities are undervalued), if not a bubble.

I have lived in London, Stockholm and a few other big but pedestrian-friendly cities. Stockholm was particularly nice in summer. I did not own a car. Public transport worked great.

I now live in the countryside, but in a quaint village in a country with only quaint villages.

So, my point is that I think that car-friendly and people-friendly are exclusive. I was careful to say it was my opinion, as I guess that everyone who agrees with the article will upvote-and-move-on and those who come to comments will be doing so to disagree with it ;)

Sure, the laptop comparison is interesting. But the real point of this i7 is that it's quad core (there're mobile i7 processors, especially in the U line, which are dual core), and that usually pushes up the price quite a bit.

So true. Growing up in one of the most sprawled cities in America I had no sense for how ugly and disgusting our city was to pedestrians and why that might matter. Then I lived in Washington DC where walking almost anywhere was a pleasant experience. Now I hate the sprawl and what we've given up.

It's about what companies can afford and are willing to purchase as well.

I doubt the technology to have higher density and more energy efficient battery is far off, but I fail to see any report of mass manufacturing of these, only article about new technology advancement in labs. And if there is no incentive from buyers (the device manufacturer) for better parts (in this case the battery), then the alternative is just have something that is good enough and that won't be dwarfed by the competition.

Double buffering isn't very suitable for audio. You're right that a suitably-large buffer would allow non-realtime code to "render" e.g. a tenth of a second of audio and pass it off to the realtime audio thread (and/or the audio subsystem, if that has sufficiently-large buffers on your platform). Unfortunately, such large buffers also introduces significant latency; the added latency is fine if you're a music player, but is pretty nasty for interactive applications.

So in other words you assumed that I didn't care about local democracy, and therefore implied I was a hypocrite.

For what it's worth, I voted in the local elections held this year, have voted in general elections, and have even met up with my local MP to discuss financial reform.

Furthermore, the idea of a representative democracy is that you elect people to work on your behalf. You do so because it's a full time job to stay abreast about all political issues. Even if I knew the names of all my local councillors, knowing their names doesn't give me any insight into the decisions being made. Most of us have a limited range of interests, I could tell you about political activity I'm interested in, would that satisfy you that I'm paying attention?

All the 'soft skills' that other commenters have mentioned are definitely useful things to have but they're things to learn when you want to stop coding soon and move in to a more management oriented role. If you still want to write code as a senior, learn to write better code.

In my opinion a senior developer is someone who writes software that can be maintained without their presence. That means less clever, impressive code and more boring code that's simple and straightforward to understand that just does what it's supposed to do. It means reproducible deployments. It means tests which are up-to-date and working. It means everything is documented in a way that a junior developer, or even someone non-technical, can get value from.

In short, it means being organised.
> Heck, so are single farms.

There's single farms bigger than a lot of countries.
Frankly, none.
Everywhere I know of the position of senior dev is defined solely by your technical expierence, and the screening in job interviews for non-technical skills are the same for junior or senior dev positions.

Perhaps a better question is what non-technical skills do I need to work well in a team (as a senior or junior dev), every developer needs to know how to listen to people with different expierence and teach others about his own, whether he's junior or senior.
Is this a common technique in audio?

In graphics programming, if you are not done with a frame when it would be the time to show it, you can just delay it and it won't cause much problems.

In audio, if you are not done processing the data when it should be playing, you WILL hear a glitch. Is double buffering really that useful then? Can't you just maintain a write pointer into a circular buffer that is always ahead of the read pointer?
If I understand you correctly, you've just increased your output latency by 50% ;)

As Nigel says, you can look up the public money sent to the Clinton Foundation on the Clinton foundation website itself.
I worked on an audio system where the response to buffers bottoming-out was to add more buffers. We had buffers everywhere; in the apps, in the audio pipeline, in the USB stack. Ran into a glitch? Go from 5 buffers to 7. Numerology was everywhere.

So what happened was that latency was utterly unpredictable, and we had buffers that went dry (starving the output DAC) or filled up anyway.

I'd walked into the project a couple years earlier, and wound up spending six cumulative months getting a handle on all the problems, which were distributed amongst several different code bases, and ultimately involved fixing bugs in every single component, including a really nasty one in the OS hypervisor. It was quite a ride.
