I'll also give Dell some much-deserved credit for making available a full repair manual for their laptops (or at least some of them). I bought the Windows variant of the XPS 13 because Costco had the 16GB i7 model for $500 cheaper, and Dell gives you complete instructions for things like replacing the WiFi card.

Linux support isn't 100% perfect for me, by the way, but it's very usable. The main problem I still have is that power management is mediocre (I can't get it below about 8 watts idle generally), and the USB-C dongle you need for ethernet is very flaky under the current kernels. It works, but often requires unplugging and replugging for it to be recognized, and (very) occasionally completely hangs the machine a few seconds after I plug it in.
I think some company bought SGI after a bankruptcy and the renamed itself SGI. Sort like what happened to Cray.

"Mistakes were made by Jeff and later Cindy" uses the passive and is quite clear about agency.

"A bomb exploded near midtown" uses the active but tells us nothing about who was responsible.

If we care about clarity of agency, we should look for it, not poor proxies.

Two obvious things:

Weight and balance is critical for airplanes. You can design the bricks, but you can't stick them together in any combination because a brick that will hold the tail wings for a 400 passenger plane is too heavy for a 100 passenger plane: the plane will not balance right and always be in nose up stall.

Also, there are not enough airplanes made. Even if the bricks idea can work, we still wouldn't make enough to give it significant enough economics of scale.

Like many living in the southern USA my air conditioning expenses are much higher than my heating expenses, I'm sure many Indians wouldn't mind air conditioning either.
Indeed, I'd phrase it as "other priorities" -- some priorities stem from circumstance, some from active desire..

Additionally I think classifying it as "I'd rather be doing" is somewhat unhelpful because there are many things people "want to be doing" in the long term that they find difficult to "actually do" in the immediate term in large part due to outside stimulus (and the availability thereof). The ability of people to focus and stick with tasks, whatever they might be, is anything but equal.
I understand the concern with "rather not be seen", and I used to feel very self-conscious when starting out. Eventually I understood it's not something to worry about.

The truth is, other people at the gym are busy concentrating on their own workout. They don't really have any reason to be judging you. Some people are particularly helpful and will offer advice, but most won't take a second look at what you're doing.
While I hate ads as much as anyone, and use an ad-blocker myself, surely there could be some measure of illegality in the other direction also? Or put another way, surely consumers don't have a legal right to access Facebook without ads?

Edit: To anyone who downvoted this: you're perfectly welcome to disagree or even adamantly disagree with me - but it's much more productive to explain why you disagree than downvote. I'm genuinely curious to hear an argument that consumers should have a legal right to view FB without ads.

I used to start & stop exercising regularly...meaning I'd start going to the gym for a few weeks and then stop out of laziness / lack of motivation.

That changed 1 year ago, when I stopped aimlessly 'exercising' and started goal-oriented 'training'.

I discovered powerlifting. Its principles and techniques really resonated with me. I was no longer exercising to be 'fit' but 'training' to beat my numbers (I don't do competitions) and see how good I can possibly be.

I've never been more consistently active over time, never been stronger, and never felt better. Now, I can't imagine living without lifting.

Powerlifting is what I chose, but you choose what you want. Learn the technique, set a schedule, set goals, and beat them...over and over and over and over again.

Then you won't think about activity as 'just exercise', but as something much more significant.
No one is forced to do anything. Anyone who doesn't want a government job is free to refuse and make their own way in the world - in fact, that's the preferred option.

If you are actually saying you don't want your children taken care of by someone doing it for the money (or prefer a person selling the "artisinal child care" persona), that's fine. Many wealthy people in the west can afford to hold out for such things.

Others are less picky and just need a responsible adult to keep their children from eating poop or dying of thirst, and teaching them a little Marathi is just a bonus. Should those people be deprived since the service doesn't meet your standards? Note that public schools mainly just meet the latter standard - should we get rid of them also?

I play sports that I love, so it's not really exercise but fun times.

I do weight training also, and unfortunately I do it only for the result and don't enjoy the process, as you can guess, that hasn't gone too well.

The only exercise forms I've found that I actually enjoy doing regularly are biking and swimming.

I move around a lot and I can't count on having a swimming pool anywhere near me, and I don't really want to spend time commuting to my exercise location.

Biking strenuously while staying safe and not stressed seems to require getting out of the city. I do enjoy stationary bikes, but I generally loathe gyms (too many TVs, bad music, expensive, etc) and again, I move too much to have my own gear.

I don't like running because it's painful and boring. I don't like yoga because it seems to require subtle understanding to avoid doing things wrong, and all the videos I've seen go too fast, or are annoying in some other way.

I suspect I would enjoy lifting, but again I need a gym, and where I'm now I don't have any friends who can teach me.

Getting exhausted by doing physical labor that actually has a point is my favorite kind of exercise, but that doesn't come around often for me.
I actually like exercising. I like being physically powerful. However, falling into a day job has kept me from exercising as much as I want. So I insisted on a standing desk at work. I just work standing up for approx. 7 hours and can do my usual exercises on the weekend.
Most recently, what's made me start exercising (more) is room-scale VR.

Gyms are boring. Cardio in gyms is incredibly boring.

Trying to beat my highscore on Holopoint whilst hologram samurai rush at me and I'm dodging missiles flying from all directions is not boring.

( And now I'm developing room-scale VR games, that goes double.

I'm currently covered in sweat in the middle of a work day after spending an hour balancing a miniboss in Left-Hand Path (http://store.steampowered.com/app/488760). )
One big reason is the weather. I run outside all summer, and then it gets very cold where I live from December through February. I'm not insane enough to run outside on icy roads, etc.

We finally got a trainer for a road bike we can use during the winter, but it's not the same as running outside so I usually get burned out on it.
an annual cost of $5/tracker.
> The original post stated the car needed $3000 work of work, which seems reasonable. If he had put that money into the car that repair would be good for another 150,000 miles - before he does it again. Now we have to assume another $3,000 (number pulled out of me head, but it seems reasonable) in other maintenance alone the way. So for $6,000 more he could have a car with 300,000 miles on it.

I doubt that the $3000 would have covered all necessary refurbishments to last every single component another 150,000 miles. Small bits here, small bits there accumulate over time (and have even higher labour cost overhead than refurbishing everything in one go).

> The buyer in Mexico has just saved up $4,500 for a car (this took a while) and he will do the work himself.

Dumping our problems on third-world countries with cheap labour is always the cheapest solution.
The OP describes a local-host scenario, which is a special case and could be cleaned up better, as you describe.

The CLOSE_WAIT cannot simply be ignored in the general case. The other side could potentially be still out there, lagging badly. Its important to make a really diligent attempt to close, else other more horrible bugs may happen (two endpoints talking to your same port).

I'd suggest the stack should never reallocate a port that is not 'clean'.

The root of all this confusion is the small port number space (16 bits). Reusing them in a lossy environment (or buggy client environment) can result in all your sockets being in a bad state in a few seconds. Especially with random allocation - its the 'how many people in the room before two have the same birthday' puzzle - the answer is 'not many' before a collision (reallocation of dirty port) is likely.

A solution would be to enlarge the port space - e.g. use uuids that don't ever repeat.
Dell's Precision 7100 workbeast comes with Ubuntu as a preinstall option.
I think there is a very large difference (in ability to contribute to science and barrier to entry) between roughly three groups of people who once had academic background.

The first are industry R&D staff (like me) -- usually we _do_ keep at the forefront of research but aren't allowed to give much time to anything that isn't going to sell in three years and have limited avenues to publish (usually patents, but patents cost money and unlike scientists we have zero incentive to make them readable).
Those people technically do contribute to science but their contributions have very reduced public impact compared to what academia gets, and that's a shame.

The second are people in support roles in either industry or academia that still work directly with science and scientists -- lab technicians, patent examiners and patent attorneys, staff writers at journals, grant writers/reviewers and program managers, most admin staff at science organizations, etc.
Those people have easy avenues to learn about science and usually are very knowledgeable in at least one subfield, but they are not given any time or platform to contribute their own thoughts and sometimes their background is insufficiently technical for original contributions. There is also something to gain from them in citizen science initiatives though, they know what the problems are and what is being done to address them.

Then you have the people profiled in the article -- non-scientists of varied backgrounds that have worked in 100% non science occupation (or raised children) since grad school (IF they went to grad school).
Those people may or may not have the background but they almost invariably have no good access to papers, no knowledge of modern working methods and quality standards and (most important) no community of like minded scientists to exchange ideas with and accept feedback from. And if they stay isolated, they are not going to be useful and would mostly benefit from an internship or something to learn what the field is actually about.

Since you've built a few, you likely have a good idea of what hardware is compatible.

Most guides I've seen are very incomplete or don't list specific models of everything -- or if they do, it's only for a specific point release.

At a glance do you think this hardware would be good for now and future versions of El Cap + Sierra when it eventually ships?

I built this back in 2014:

(Mic and overall audio performance is very important to me due to recording courses, podcasts, etc.)
None of those are true when using `==` either.

The NaN example comes directly from IEEE754

The others are based on the fact that the two sides are not referring to the same object. C "equivalents" of your examples:

int x[0], y[0]; x == y; // false
typedef struct {} empty_t; empty_t *x, *y; x == y; // false
int x[] = { 1 }, y[] = { 1 }; x == y; // false
int x[] = { 0 }, y[] = { 0 }; x == y; // false
With Rust zero cost futures, only one memory allocation is done for the entire chain of futures. It's not doing an allocation for every callback.

This makes it comparable to using a stack. In an M:N solution, the stack is usually (but not always) allocated similarly (e.g. using malloc).
I just built one, my first, last month. Works just fine, including sleep / wake and upgrading a minor OS release and installing apps from the App Store.

I used the TonyMac recommended set up, of which there are a ton of permutations, picking the i5 6600K CPU and a fairly middling ASUS Z170 motherboard. The onboard graphics is a huge step up from my mid-2011 i7 Mac Mini Server. Popped in a 960 gb SSD and it runs like a charm. I also have a MacBook Pro in hand in case things go really bad but so far no issues at all. (Except Messages, but I didn't use that on the Mac Mini so no loss there.)

Can't recommend it enough. Great rig for about $600 including case and power supply, and when I'm ready to upgrade most of that investment will carry over (SSD, case, PSU, keyboard, monitor, etc). Far more sane and cost effective than the 5K iMac I was considering.
Using http://lmgtfy.com/?q=jet+fuel+density to get a range of 775.0-840.0 g/L for jet fuel, that gives us 37.4MJ/807.5g (taking the average of the jet fuel's mass) against 2.8MJ/180g for glucose.

Scaling the denominator of each to 1kg, that's ~46.3MJ/kg for jet fuel and ~15.6MJ/kg for glucose.

Given how biochemically cheap glucose is to produce compared to jet fuel, I'm surprised it's only off the state-of-the-art by a factor of three.
Yes. You won't even have to know to code. You'll just press a button that generates the code for you. In the future, all programming jobs will turn into data entry jobs where the programmer will be entering commands into a GUI to generate a button here and there.
I know that i will slowly start to go mad if i do not do something active regularly. Madness (while mostly sane) is a strong negative motivator.

I don't know what "makes" me do it. I tell myself I'm going to do something and then I have to do it. It's easy to say I'm going to do something but once it's said I must follow through. I call it writing a check with my mouth that my body has to cash.
This headline is offensively stupid. Of course it can be explained, we just haven't explained it yet.

That's the opposite of what the question is asking for. They want to call fetch('/api/foo/bar') but on the client it does an HTTP call while on the server it recognizes that /api* is on the local system and therefore invoke that local route instead of doing an unnecessary http call.

That's what I'm apparently failing to describe how to accomplish :).
Dataship: share data and analysis from simple charts to complex machine learning
I thought the point of having robots is to produce more so more can be consumed by people, having higher living standards. Robots (as described in the article) do not have living standard, because they don't have consciousness. They are conceptually no different from any other tool, which requires maintenance, but increases productivity.

So they eventually should contribute to higher living standard (that's their raison d'etre), although of course there are issues of social inequality, which however the OP's argument doesn't seem to address at all.

The efficiency in economics is always defined under assumption that it's somehow externally given (by human desires) what we want to produce. For example, efficiency in producing 1000 cars is given by how much materials and energy you need. But you cannot say that producing 100 cars is always more efficient than producing 1000 cars, because this is given by human desires; by that logic, the most efficient would be if Earth had no humans or even life at all.
RedHat seems to be trying to make their OS more accessible and mainstream friendly through their $0 developer license http://developers.redhat.com/blog/2016/03/31/no-cost-rhel-de.... Not that there's anything wrong with CentOS. So it's cool that effort extends to commodity hardware, too.

Sample size of one but as part of working down the Redhat certifications track I purchased an Intel NUC http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/nuc-kit-nuc6i5syk... for a low power lab machine; it's really just a laptop squeezed into a cube but everything I've needed to use it for works fine. Admittedly I have not tried wireless or bluetooth.

Hopefully that means laptops built off reference Intel designs will also Just Work. Interestingly NUCs are showing up now in the Hackintosh community because despite moderate specs next to a modern desktop, they're still competitive with Apple's current hardware. No doubt Apple will refresh this year; they seem to be overdue.
You can't easily scale with Heroku. Scaling, almost by its very nature, requires tight control over your infrastructure.

When you scale, you need to make your infrastructure fit your app. Not the other way around.
Note that these aren't excuses. But they make it more difficult for me to exercise.

1. Kids (2 under 2). If I'm not at work, I'm playing with or taking care of them, cooking, etc. there isn't much "me time" as all of it is spent at work.

2. This may sound weird, but I haven't found a comfortable way to keep my private area in place. Most loose shorts / boxers don't work because things move around in some rather uncomfortable ways. I haven't tried any kind of briefs yet, as I find them very constructive and also uncomfortable. Suggestions welcome.

3. Finding a good exercise program that I can do at home. So far, I've had best luck with the 21 Day Fix, but this is focused on weight loss, which isn't really what I'm interested in; I don't have enough availability that I can go to a gym, and equipment isn't cheap. I have no family living nearby, so it's really tough to find someone I trust to watch my kids while I go work out, not to mention it's remarkably expensive. (My kids go to a school 2 days / week and it already costs more than rent in a 3k sq ft home.) So, let's just call this one time AND money..
Yeeeeeah, that's kinda like saying you can get your drugs from a police evidence locker. You only need __one__ burglar or rotten cop! It happens all the time! Why do we need dealers or legal distribution anyway?

Plus you're contradicting your own argument. First you state that open source doesn't matter unless you can personally read and modify the code. Now you state that you're fine with proprietary software, because you only need one of the company's employees to remove lock-ins and fix security holes for you. Which one is it? Do you require being able to solve problems yourself, or can you rely on others?
My experience over the past decade doesn't quite agree with this. For ease of setup and use, I find that it's usually Intel > nVidia >>> AMD.

When my workplace gives a developer a new desktop (one of Dell's Ubuntu offerings, seems to always use AMD GPUs), that person's first day is normally setting up dual head.
I've had mixed experiences with different GPUs very hard to tell. Laptop Quadro Series? Yes 750ti desktop? No 970 desktop? Sorta. It's unfortunate but it really seems to depend not only on platform but specific version of platform.

It's a mess.

Someone else in the thread said what I completely agree with if possible just get the latest Intel HD series it works pretty much flawlessly.
I've been running Linux on the X220 (tablet) for 4+ years at this point; it's still a great machine (although I need to boot it up and clean the insides soon...), although obviously slightly dated in terms of hardware.

The X260 will likely work as an exact replica, but I haven't updated to Skylake yet so it's hard to say (ISTR there being some GPU buginess with Skylake at first). Otherwise everything should work almost perfectly out of the box, in my experience, though you'll probably want to tweak your power settings. The X260 will have a far superior screen, which if you're coming from a Macbook or anything will probably be important.

One of these days I'll upgrade and take my X220 down to the local hackerspace and get Coreboot put on it probably...
Sure, but given that the median income in the US is $51,939 (2013) I think it's safe to assume that most people (in the US) can gain a lot by following the simple tenant of spend less, save more. But even MMM has suggestions for people who make too little - I suspect most finance blogs do. MMM advocates getting into a profession where you can make at least the median income, because that's obviously the easiest way to increase your potential savings if you're low-income.
