I also wonder how much they're getting in salary + equity working somewhere like Uber or Google. I highly doubt it's even $1m/year.
Yes, Macs are a pretty small figure. The new iPhone modem deal Intel struck with Apple for around $1.5 billion is a bigger deal, which would be in the ballpark of 2% of Intel's ~$55 billion in revenues.

But Intel likes Apple Macs as a show pony. Intel has for years been desperately trying to convince hardware manufacturers to make both more consumer appealing PCs and new consumer devices around their chips. PC makers kept making the same old big beige towers, with the only differentiating factors being price (race to the bottom) and speed.

Apple doesn't like to compete in that space and likes to do other things and pushes on different features of chips that allow them to make smaller machines, quiet machines, fully integrated machines, battery friendly machines, and focus on industrial design.

Intel knows this and likes to use Apple to push other manufacturers to think in similar ways. The results have been pretty good as there are now PC competitors that make things like the All-in-one-flatscreen iMac, and the Macbook Air. If you remember way back before the iPhone, the original Apple TV was Intel based and showed Intel chips in mainstream consumer non-PC use cases. (This is different than concept demos because this was a real shipping product that actually managed to make enough money to sustain itself.) Also, Apple's obsession with reduction, like eliminating ports has been good for Intel because Apple helps encourage adoption of new standards they want to put out. For example, Apple embraced Thunderbolt at the beginning and was willing to drop legacy ports while most manufactures would normally hedge by keeping legacy ports. Apple pushing hard on this helps makes the 3rd party adoption faster which emboldens manufacturers to migrate faster themselves.
I wonder sometimes whether rationalization came before logic. Perhaps using logic in a rigorous way (as in a mathematical proof) evolved out of persuasive techniques that are intended to get people to believe you, regardless of whether you're right?

Looking for logical flaws in arguments might have arisen as defense against persuasive techniques.
This is, simply put, a direct result of the Steam Greenlight system.

I won't defend the weird behavior of equality comparisons to nil, that definitely seems wrong. I was mostly just addressing the notion that a language needs a formal specification and must fully abstract the machine to be useful or at least not worthy of ridicule.
>You're not being serious are you? MAS holds such an insignificant role in Mac App development that any requirements it sets around the transition would weaken its cause.

Negligible? If you exclude Adobe and MS, most apps people use are available through the Mac App store. And more can be made available if Apple pushes more for it.
Yeah it may have some interest as a historical account. But should i no way, as seems to be the case with some commenters here, taken as any indication as to how the nation is today.

Safe injection sites are also a way of saying that there is someone who gives a damn about your problem, instead of seeing you as a stupid junkie. It's one of the few interactions with the government people suffering from addiction have which is devoid of judgement - that they are worth helping.

For some people, this means a lot. Some of the worst parts of addiction is how completely it destroys any sense of self-worth.
My mother, as first a nursing resident, and then a nurse anesthetist in the '50s, saw the most important input into this process, the "major tranquilizers" AKA first generation anti-psychotics, which came into wide use in-between those two, she was astounded one day when she saw a "hopeless" patient she knew from her 3 months residency in a psych ward working in the same hospital as she was, in some custodial or runner role.

But I strongly suspect he had an informal network in that hospital, which made sure he took his nasty meds (and they are nasty, I had to take Zyprexa at full strength for a while to end a hypomanic episode caused by a doctor prescribing a drug which turned out to be a big mistake, and then not realizing it for a month until my GP noticed and mentioned this to him over lunch; if you're worried about this happening to you, and all sorts of drugs can cause it, keep a diary of your sleep, and if it e.g. has an entry of 3 periods of 30 minutes, seek competent help fast, uncontrolled like this mania is serious medical emergency, and insidious for the patient suffering from it).

See, the thing was, after millennia of psychosis being untreatable, and soon bipolar disorder falling to lithium carbonate, we'd achieved a true miracle. But the transition to a new management regime for these particularly severe disorders was utterly botched. It started with a commission in the '50s, leading to Federal legislation signed by JFK less than a month before his assassination, and only 4 years later does Reagan even come into the picture, seeing as how he wasn't even a position of power until 1967 (read the bare facts in the intro to this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Mental_Health_Act).

In short, blaming it on Reagan is Not Even Wrong; a wonderful opportunity for humane treatment of the most mentally ill was botched for a bunch of reasons, and he was only following the scheme "The Best And Brightest" came up with before its failings became all too apparent, in part due to the ACLU and willing courts eliminating the necessary force to make it work, e.g. forcing people to take their nasty meds or otherwise get fully institutionalized again.

A cynic would also note that redirecting money from mental hospitals to transfer payments was a much better way to buy votes.... And it's still happening, in the last year or two Missouri Governor Jay Nixon shut one down for the "retarded" just a bit north of me.
Steam and Adobe, yes., but most Mac users could not care less for Battle.net, Origin, or SmithMicro.

In fact, Battle.net, Origin, or SmithMicro would care more for Mac to do a rewrite than Apple would care to lose them.

Besides, Apple changed to Intel and didn't give much of a care about MS or Adobe apps having to be rewritten.

> It just stinks of plain greed.

After considerable reflection and a decade in the marketplace, I have come to the conclusion that there are two kinds of people - those who appreciate the value of money and those who do not- and it cuts across cultures.

The former are most times sheep (sometimes not) and employers are grateful for their existence. These are the people only too happy to do valuable work for a company whose goal is profit in return for a pat on the shoulder and maybe, if they are lucky, a gold watch after 25 years. Is this attitude derived from an indoctrination process or is it innate? I do not pretend to know the answer. What I do know is that in a capitalist system- which the whole world practically is- employers depend on a significant population of the workforce to act with timidity. Many businesses are built and fortunes are made on this assumption: that the help will be paid less than he is worth and he can be counted on to not complain. Capitalists will ruthlessly cull the herd to maintain the s.q.

It is not out of place to ask for more money if your skills are up to par and the company can afford it. Money buys comforts, it soothes the pains and sacrifices one makes to attain present position. Enough money permits me to endow chair at a university or build a school/clinic in rural Africa or Asia. I may decide to contribute the excess to my preferred charity that provides open heart surgery treatments to newborn with congenital heart defects. It opens up the option for me to run for elective office and effect change where better men can only complain. Most importantly it reflects my contribution to the system and serves to tally the score.

OP's desire, for money and the desire of others - is not greed. Its a personal choice. It is pragmatism but as I said before not everyone sees it the same way.
This just feels wrong. It's like only using one space after a sentence. Somewhere along the way it became technically correct, but there's just this visceral feeling that it's not right.
My return over the last 12 months is 8%. This is less than the S&P but I'm only about 60% in stocks so I'll take that. Scale of about 400k. I used to own more individual stocks and had less % of my total money in the stock market and have been trying to shift to a more hands-off, diversified, portfolio over the last 3 years or so. I've been learning about investing and managing my money for the last 15 years. I don't have accurate numbers for that entire period, need better software.

I wouldn't sleep well if I was 100% in stocks so I realize I'm giving something up in very long term returns.

Ask me again in 10 years.
> people tend to make decisions based on intuition rather than reason.

I think these types of article have a too-narrow definition of rationality. I think that emotions, feelings and intuition are subconscious processes but still part of the faculty of reason. The mistake is to think that rationality = conscious-logical-deduction but anyone who has solved some complex problem knows the experience of working on a problem or days, weeks, months or even years and then one day the solution just hits you, usually when you aren't actually working on the problem.
The Real Lolita
I was born in a country where declaring people insane and involuntarily committing them to mental hospitals was standard operating procedure for the secret police to shut up dissidents.

I think America has the right idea here, frankly. You should not be imprisoned by the state unless you are openly convicted of a crime.
I have no real use-case. Just making a statement. I wonder why YouTube can stream 1080p at 60fps but VNC on a local network can't.

Not bitching about VNC because it's done a lot of good things and it's very useful, but I think there's a lot of room for optimization.

It might be a function of team size. I've spent most of my career in small teams, and so the flexibility to wear a couple hats at a time is relatively more important, and helps reduce the bus factor.
Not a cent of those $241 million is spent on incarceration, policing or the like. You can scroll down in the article I linked to see a breakdown. Your response essentially consists of ignoring the facts I have presented and talking about something else (Nixon! Drug war!). Of course, that is a very effective way of dealing with cognitive dissonance, which is why it is currently the highest-voted response to my comment.
$241 million would educate a lot of people :(
They all were following JFK's (and Eisenhower's) Best and Brightest, as enshrined in the Federal 1963 Community Mental Health Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Mental_Health_Act), all that done back when he was on the "rubber chicken circuit" for GE; he had no political power until becoming governor in 1967.

Better title: Game Publisher Banned By Valve After Suing Players That Gave It Bad Stean Reviews.

Say you buy a some platform to develop on. This will normally come with a toolchain and some libraries. The library was developed on LTS. Now you try and compile that and it doesn't compile. Woe is you. You can't just ask the seller because he just told you to use LTS so good luck figuring out why it doesn't work.

OK, so you've spent some time and figured out the problem - it needs this particular version of this obscure tool. OK. No problem, I'll just compile it myself. So after tracking down the source you download it and try to compile it yourself. That tool has it's own dependencies. OK. 10 recursions later (I hope you're keeping all this crap in a local dir and not just blindly overwriting your distro version!) and you compiled the tool.

make

Another library that needs compiling from source - see above. Repeat for each one and its dependencies.

make

Nope! Your python is too new! OK, fix the script to you use the correct (older) python.

make

Nope, GCC defaults have changed! You fix the makefiles.

make

Success! You've wasted a week of your time you could've spent working on your product.
> I sometimes wonder if we have a little too much freedom in this country.

No, you don't. Many of the problems faced by the poor arise specifically from restrictions and limitations on freedom. The number of US persons perpetually disenfranchised by poverty is hard to comprehend. They have fewer rights, not too many.

The disparate treatment of poor people by the justice system tops my list. Poor drug users face convictions, and thereafter perpetual unemployment, while the rich are diverted to programs without convictions (see Rush Limbaugh). The rich are also allowed to self-medicate with prescriptions whereas the poor turn to illegal drugs (again, see Rush). To exacerbate this by rounding up the poor into camps only sweeps the problem under the rug.

gcc has a -Og option that performs all optimizations that don't interfere with debugging, so I'd guess that emacs..-Og is built using gcc's -Og option and emacs..-O2 is built using gcc with the -O2 option.
Ha, Same thing happened to me with the SAME contributor!! Benjamin Bach is an awesome dude. He helped me maintain django-dbbackup for quite some time then we found a third contributor, Anthony Monthe, who is also very interested in the project and I would say owns it now. It's been maintained by those two for quite some time now. I wish there was a way for me to buy them both a bunch of rounds of beer. :D

By "never do what GetACat()" does, I think the author means "always return structs, not interfaces".
I can definitely see this happening today, but I wouldn't consider that anything malicious, just very different culturally. I'm from the US, and wouldn't even be considered blond, but at some of the monuments it was like being a celebrity, and tons of people would want to take pictures with me. This happened perhaps 100 times in our one month there, and it was really strange at first.

I did also have people touch my arms and look at me with big grins on their faces. If you're not from a place where touching a stranger is acceptable, this can understandably be quite shocking until you get used to it. There are so many people in India that you'll find people with a wide variety of different customs and social norms.
There's been a big push to shorten the game, constantly trimming out levels. I think some aspects of that turned out pretty well (I was skeptical of the D to D + Depths transition but ultimately I came around on it) but I actually liked the slightly longer game. The stretches of the game where I can get in a flow state and smash are usually among the more enjoyable.

My impression is that the devs who have been most influential for the last two to three years find that element of the game boring and instead want to put you in more "interesting" situations (e.g. forcing a rune before entering Vaults, increasingly strong new monsters in Depths.) I find that a lot of those things don't meaningfully decrease my chances of winning or force creative new strategies. Instead, they encourage me to do more tedious things like isolating single monsters, stair dancing, etc.

In fairness, I think my opinion on this was probably in the minority among heavy players at the time.
Sources? My understanding is that most of the perpetrators of recent attacks were already known to police (As thugs and petty criminals.)
And I bet you a lot of them also at some point felt unhappy or felt a sense of misalignment with the ideals of their host nation, despite benefiting from the spoils of a western democracy. Some of them are brought up with the belief they're living in someone elses' world -- an unwelcomed guest that people have to 'handle' or or deal with.

This is the proper (and highly unpopular) course of action. There has to be a fix for this with a process to make the assimilation process that's palatable for both sides of the culture.
The author said India's vast rail network [...] the world's largest. I was certain China had more rail so I looked it up. These stats are from 2008, so China has no doubt advanced even further...

China has 78,000 "route kilometers" and 154,600 "total kilometers" of track. (The US and Russia have more) India has "stagnated" at 63,000 route kilometers.[0]

China has 578,000 freight wagons, 44,000 coaches and 18,300 locomotives, whereas India has 22,5000 freight wagons, 45,000 passenger coaches and 8,300 locomotives.[0]

Indian's railways carry only ~22% of the freight carried by the China.[0]

In 2007 India moved 750 Million MT of freight while China moved 4.5x that (i.e 3,300 Million MT).[0]

India does move more people, but they count intra-Mumbai commuters as rail passengers, whereas China does not count subway commuters (which would probably be greater; since there are many large cities with subways).

The ERL supports offloading for various protocols and features. I'm pretty sure IPv6 offload is disabled by default, at least for older firmware versions. Not sure about IPv4 or other protocols. Having offload disabled would have a huge effect on performance.
Information control is an extremely important aspect of real power, including military success. Most will not believe me, but I will say it anyway: the popular media, even in the United States, is full of war propaganda (in the traditional sense).

Google has a direct tap into minds via search. This is problematic because their virtual monopoly means they dominate information control and shaping. This means Google can shape reality and is the most powerful war propaganda tool ever deployed. Of course it is also generally indispensible in other ways, which is the problem.
I transferred departments 8 months into my first job. Then left that new job 8 months after that. Nobody ever gave it a second thought. If you want to do something else, just do it.
I'm pretty sure you couldn't get down to the microcode level without special debugging facilities (an in-circuit-debugger rig of some sort) or an emulator. Modern CPUs are so integrated that even a de-capped chip would be effectively impossible to probe in this manner.

I'd be willing to bet money on the fact that anyone who got a job at a top consulting firm or an investment banking job at a bulge bracket bank was not hired primarily as a result of a Udacity degree. Hiring pipelines and signaling are a big reason why a degree from a top school is worthwhile and why top schools are not threatened by MOOCs.
TransferWise costs 1% (at least for me, for USD -> CAD) and takes days.

A bunch of (mjhoy/require-package 'package-name) are run on init, and if the package isn't present it's installed. This has worked pretty well for me for keeping my mac and my linux emacs in sync.

Look into use-package for a lot more control over how packages are loaded, as mentioned in another comment.

There could be lots of reasons . . . some of which are mentioned in this thread.

Are you suggesting that reason include intuition?

I don't believe that would ever be a helpful definition of the word.

---

Reason is conscious; intuition is subconscious.

Of course, they're related: reason can train intuition, and intuition can catalyze reason. But I disagree that a conversational distinction is inappropriate.
No, they likely just hid it in the forex spread. No bank is doing $20,000 retail cross-currency wire transfers for a $15 flat fee.
I disagree. Return interfaces where it makes sense. E.g., returning

type Buffer interface {
io.Writer
io.ByteWriter
WriteString(string) (int, error)
...
}

from `bytes.NewBuffer' would be a bit absurd. But returning an interface (`io.Reader') from `io.MultiReader' makes more sense than returning some sort of structure.

I think the author was getting at how one should always return explicit zero values _or_ explicit non-zero. E.g.,

func GetACat() (Cat, error) {
cat, err := getCatInternalOrSomething()
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return cat, nil
}
