I can personally confirm above 10x improvements over rails, but can't Share the code :)

I'd be more upset about this if I weren't already using Google Voice and Hangouts to make all of my SMS's and calls so I know Google is watching - I'd rather give that info to Google than give it to my telco.
I have a WRT54G [not GL] that currently lives as the wireless interface an XBox 360. Most versions of the G are upgradable to to DD-WRT. That's what the "WRT" in DD-WRT was all about. Around the time I bought it, and in the years when the G's were still available, the GL's sold at a substantial premium.

Maybe there's something magical about $69 pricing. The HP12C lives on after 35 years.

J.R.R. Tolkien Reads from the Lord of the Rings
Just HBO NOW, not HBO GO. HBO NOW has been really disappointing. Their service cannot handle the load when popular episodes get released, and often the quality of streaming is much lower than what could be supported by end users' connections.
All that says is that privacy-sensitive people are out of touch with reality.

My sides.
No way. At the time x86-64 came out, nobody needed it enough to pay extra for it, and that's still true for a large number of users today. Switching architectures just to get to 64 bits was never going to happen. Itanium would have had to bring a lot more to the table than that, and it indisputably didn't.

I can’t tell if you’re referring to iterators (abstracted by `yield return`) or enumerators (abstracted by `foreach`).

In case it’s the latter, I’ll just point out that you can have zero-cost abstraction because, in C#, `foreach` is pattern-based: An object is enumerable with respect to `foreach` whenever:

1. It has a public method named “GetEnumerator” of type ‘E

2. 'E has a method named “MoveNext” of type () -> bool and a property named “Current” of type () -> ’T (where ’T can be any class (including those that inherit from System.ValueType.. i.e. a struct)).

While it is the case that `yield return` does result in allocation for a reference type, it’s also true that this is easily remedied should it become a problem: In my experience, it only takes about 5-10 minutes to implement a zero-cost iterator as I described above.

Many of the BSL collection classes (e.g. System.String (as an IEnumerable<char>) and System.Collections.Generic.List<T>) use the zero-cost abstraction.

I know and agree he should be exonerated if the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard can't be reached. I was just curious if there was some evidence that showed that he was factually innocent.
It is extremely complicated. The problem is rooted in the fact that there are, actually, differences between men and women. When I see arguments that there are Zero differences, it makes me crazy. There are many differences. However, there are also many differences from any given individual to any other given individual, even if they are the same gender.

We need to find ways to both give women more opportunity to build their chops and not merely be hired because they are women, while also finding ways to value what they do bring to the table that isn't what men bring to the table. Studies show that diverse companies are more profitable and successful. When I worked for a Fortune 500 company with a good track record for diversity, internally, I recall them saying "We hire everyone so we can more easily sell to everyone" or words to that effect. They believed strongly that not having representatives internally for various populations was guaranteed to undermine their ability to understand and communicate with those populations, as well as develop products that worked for them, etc.

So, while there is no easy path forward here, it should be done, and not for pie in the sky "ideals," but for pragmatic ones -- because it has a proven track record of success for the company when the company can get this detail right.
There may be some bias, but that doesn't explain all of it. For example psychology is now almost exclusively a woman-dominated field (literally upwards of 95% of psychologists are women). A few people have asked the question about why this is the case, but there is no spotlight on psychology like there is on tech. I challenge you to find anyone calling for diversity in psychology.

I get the impression that there are no free lunch to be had in computing, and we are effectively hitting the end point unless we have overlooked some way to spread a workload across multiple cores that makes it all scale linearly.

Baseball was the sport to do this; Lots of statistics nerds are baseball fans, and they got into computers early on. Seems like the synergy worked out well.
It's been a long time now since I've studied intensely (haven't played much poker outside of the occasional home game with friends for 10 years), but I imagine the 2+2 forums are still the best forums around for discussion of strategy, hand reviews, theory, etc.

David Sklanksy and Harrington and Ed Miller's books are probably the best around still in terms of a comprehensive overview of the various games, especially Hold Em and Stud, the games of course change as people change styles, but the basics are there.

If you are mathematically minded or just interested in a whirlwind tour through game theory and gambling theory, I highly recommend The Mathematics of Poker by Chen and Ankenman -- but it's a pretty heavy lift https://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Poker-Bill-Chen/dp/188607...

I've also heard good things about Applications of No-Limit Holdem by Matthew Janda but it came out after I pretty much quit playing regularly so I haven't read it.

If watching people play is more your thing there are tons of good sites out there now were good players record themselves playing and give a running commentary on their thought process as they play. It can be quite an eye opener to listen to what a good player thinks about when they make their decisions.
Have you tried to log into the admin web page lately? The default firmware generates SSL certificates signed with algorithms that modern browsers have black listed and won't access the page.
Naw most of these wouldn't work when actually written out as Feynman did. Example: you can easily give an upper bound to the "chance that N is a prime" that goes to zero as N increases. But you would also need to show that it's sum from 0 to infinity over all N also goes to zero.

In fact, there's the classic result that this probability is about 1/log(N) [1], which diverges towards infinity. Hence you would probabilistically expect infinite primes and would be correct.

> So what's the trick to using APL if you don't have the keyboard?

Snarky answer is to use J.

I have this hope that on-screen tablet keyboards will bring APL back. It's one of the few languages where you can actually be productive developing on a tablet or phablet because it requires so little typing. As well the idea of workspaces is something that would work well on modern phone OSes. Basically the same things that made APL a great choice for early personal computers (MCM/70 and IBM 5100 were both APL machines: http://www.xnumber.com/xnumber/MCM_70_microcomputer.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_5100) would make it work on phones.
That's a cool anecdote. Nice for him. It never hurts to be friendly and approachable, and it almost sounds like he's an honorary employee.

And machines like that are hard to find.

The definition of "selling drugs" needs to be better refined for this question. I'd like to see the percent of "sold drugs for profit" and "sold drugs to strangers".
Such a node exists, that's true, but this is what the mathematicians would call a non-constructive existence proof: you know it exists but you have no idea how to find it.
But why isn't it seen as a problem? Isn't that kind of shitty that most people don't see it as a problem that teaching young children is a field "for women"? I think there is insight into the general problem of diversity in all kinds of fields (and not just the small slice of tech jobs) if we look for answers to the questions I just asked.
1e+33 is not such a big number as far as number theory goes (for example: http://mathoverflow.net/questions/15444/examples-of-eventual..., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewes%27_number). It's still a nice exercise.

As another example, consider the question of whether there exists a right-angled triangle with rational sides, having an area of 157.

You wouldn't happen to know why the two layouts, besides UK and US, are Danish and Finnish? As a Dane it's kinda cool, but hardly the first language you'd expect to see listed for something this niche.
Very cute argument, and very much in his style--he was famous, as the author notes, for heuristic arguments that weren't very formalizable but had a lot of beauty.

One story I heard is that a computer scientist tried to explain the P=NP? problem to him; Feymnan couldn't understand why this was a problem. It was obviously true that P != NP, what even needed proving?
But it's not the proof "methodology" given by Feynman. Fenyman's result also gives a moderate-sized probability for small N, then eliminates those through known mathematics.
I'm glad you had your dad there to explain how CRTs work. The plight of those relying on poets was not as pleasant...

Intuitively, you can think of N as a rough measure of the "ballpark" around where you are in the number line. As you move up to higher numbers, perfect powers get more and more scarce, so the probability of finding one by picking a number at random becomes lower.

The world is there to build a story on and Westeros is fine for that. I only got through part of the article because the authors complaints about realism fell very flat to me.
One meaning is that summing the probabilities for N=1,2,3, ... and checking how many numbers actually meet the criteria yield the same result in the limit. More precisely, their ratio goes to 1 as N goes to infinity.

Edit: define f(N) as the number of numbers below N that match. Consider the function f(N)/N. We call a function of N the probability of N matching if it asymptomatically approaches f(N)/N.
I suspect that most of the sales tend toward the B2B end of the spectrum. The reasons someone might buy a WRT54GL aren't really that attractive to a significant fraction of consumers. Even for someone like me who is susceptible to those rationales, I'd shop Buffalo. Open, 11N, and comparably priced.
There's hardly any denying that Feynman was quite a character; he (sometimes spectacularly) failed to live up to our expectations as to how such a brilliant intellect ought to behave.

That is probably a significant reason for his enduring appeal; a streetwise, bongo-playing physicist with a talent for quips.
So what? He stated that, noted the sources for what he said. Genetic fallacy is a tired thing.
Which is plain ridiculous. If I were to move away from everyone and let only one person know my new address so they could forward my mail, I'd have no expectation of privacy because /someone/ knows my real address? If we were to extend it so I changed my name and had a network of people forward my mail to someone else with a different name, then that last person still knows my address and real name. That's exactly what Tor does. It's explicit purpose is for privacy!
Awesome work!

I noticed that the Servo Nightly build is already about as big as Chrome or Firefox. As it's not yet a complete browser, I expected it to have a lighter executable. Do you know what lead to this? Is it a matter of build artifacts or optimization? Is Servo going to grow even larger while achieving feature-parity with other engines?

It looks like Servo could be a great alternative for Chromium Content -- one of the things that keeps me from (ab)using Electron/NW/CEF is the massive initial overhead, and a WebRender-based UI with lower admittance price would change the whole scenario.
Going through them would be a book in itself (The ARMv8 reference manual is itself a couple thousand pages, which I have only gone through a fraction of). I think RISC-V is the closest thing to what I would like in a simple general purpose ISA, even though it is not perfect (no branch delay slots, no post modifies/register writebacks, don't like the immediate encoding). It is a hell of a lot better than the mess ARM made, and the basic (IMAFD) instruction reference can be kept to a single page ;)
