I'm confused why you're confused. You pay for energy, not for power. You wouldn't pay the same for a kW delivered for 1 hour as you would for a kW delivered for a whole year, right?
> What do you mean why is nobody doing that? Lots of providers are doing that.

And not a single one of them has anything close to the wide and growing offering that AWS presents.

> AWS bandwidth pricing is 5x-50x higher than the providers I usually use. E.g. for the cost of 1TB of transfer at AWS you can rent a server for a month + multiple TB of transfer elsewhere. Cutting it in half would still leave them ridiculously expensive for bandwidth.

But that bandwidth is usually capped in speed and is dedicated to only that instance. No provider like this can handle all of their clients using 80% of their allotted bandwidth. AWS's bandwidth may be expensive, but it is as elastic as you can get and you are never over-provisioning. It's also negotiable just like anything else.

> but I've also had more extreme examples, like a customer that cut their hosting cost to 1/10th.

I'd be interested to hear particulars of this. Obviously it is your edge case, but I find it hard to believe that somebody can cut their costs that much unless they were way over-provisioned on AWS or they are not really counting all of the costs. I have never seen a DC that didn't have more management overhead to run than a full cloud offering.
It's not Apple's fault no matter how ridiculous their patents are. It's 100% fault of the American retarded patent system. As a company or large corporation you have only two options: You apply for crazy patents or end up paying for compensations to others.
If you read the initial part of the comment I took that remark from:

I'd agree... He defines "bullshit" pretty close to bullshit. I'd imagine it to mean a laymans version of an MCMC explanation. A standard intro to the topic for undergraduates is about equally technical.

Maybe a black box explanation would suite dev better.

That's true, as long as you don't have to support >50% of the users of Android. As someone (at this moment) still dealing with the very healthy supply of Android 4.4 phones being sold as "new" in Europe, I can only dream about actually using the fancy APIs someday.

Certainly it could. I don't know what that has to do with my comment though.
At that point I would either be switching providers to someone who didn't mangle my signal (because that's effectively what this is), or if that for some reason wasn't doable, I would at least install a VPN to a known secure, untampered connection (like my home router) and route everything through that connection.

Having someone intercept my signal and process it behind my back is simply not something I would tolerate from any communications-service provider I employ.
Ah. Yes I'll agree (though the husband in me says I should still be explicit when I postpone tasks).

Watts are joules per second.

1 kWh is 3,600,000 Joules but it is more convenient to use some unit of watt because the power rating of the things you're attaching it to are often rated in Watts also.

Besides it is just the way things evolved. Like batteries being rated in mAh.

Performant is not an adjective, it is a noun. "One who performs". Software can perform poor or well. Performant does not mean it performs well.

http://weblogs.asp.net/jongalloway/performant-isn-t-a-word

This matters. Software can perform well at its job (not crash, get the correct answer) but may not perform efficiently (takes a long time, has unbounded resource use, uses a brute force pattern).
Correct setup of a new AWS account
For a lot of things, using a self-hosted open-source package is a good idea, absolutely.

However, for some applications there's a vendor with a neural network (or whatever) trained on a billion inputs, you see it perform better than the open source equivalent trained on a million inputs, and you don't have a billion inputs to improve the open source version with.
Slow news day? Mechanical engineers and industrial designers can create novel things and I see no reason why they shouldn't patent them if they're truly novel. This is Apple being Apple: committed to earthy green stuff and not wanting to sacrifice function or fashion while doing so.

If no one used it, they wouldn't be adding better support for it.

The NDK is pervasively used by many many applications; that's why it's getting more support.

For some reason this seems unpopular with the android team, who seem to keep trying to avoid the issue when ever its raised at I/O...but hey, clearly at least someone is paying attention to what the statistics are showing.

Sure, it's some extra hoops to jump though; but shared business logic that you can use on any code base on any platform; that's a really really compelling reason to use the NDK, or one of the stacks based on it (eg. Xamarin, react native).

It's not just for some edge case. The biggest players in the field are doing this.

I think it's misrepresentative to try to characterize this as 'just for games'...
Why not java?
I've recently moved home and these are the steps I had to take to change my address with my current bank and Monzo.

My bank: I look on their website which says I can phone up and do it over the phone. I phone up, go through the automated options and then I'm told that actually I have to go into a branch with ID and proof of address because apparently I'm not registered for 'telephone banking' (why?!).

The nearest branch to me is open 9-4.30pm on weekdays and 9-1pm on Saturdays. I generally work at these times so I have to take time out of work to go into a branch, queue for 10 minutes and eventually get it changed.

Monzo: I open a live chat within their app, answer a couple of security questions and the address is changed right away. It took about 5 minutes at most and I could do it while working on other things.

My bank also charge a small fortune for foreign transactions and contactless won't work abroad. Monzo is free and contactless has so far worked fine in 3 different countries.

The UK banking industry is massively behind the times with regards to customer service, facilities and technology. The potential for Monzo is huge if they can pull off what they're trying to achieve.

> TypeScript is not wedded to React

Practially not, but it's a bit of a hassle. either you leave the JSX be and parse it with Babel or you need some wrappers for you VDOM lib, because tsc assumes a namespace, while most not-React-vdom libs just deliver a function out of the box.
Doesn't that really depend on if you can't use it all? If you get 50% of your electricity from solar during the day, can't you use it all? At night you simply have to get the other 50% from fossil fuels.

Isn't that still a big win in the short term? If half the world's daytime electricity came from solar, we'd be in much better shape.

> To start one small thing I'd do is match Apple on the length of update support window.

That will win you over the tech-fanboys, but is that anything normal people take into account when they pick a phone? I probably hear more complaints about new versions of iOS "making my phone worse" than Android users complaining about not getting updates.
It all depends on how much you are willing to pay for that support.

From friends' experiences, Microsoft and IBM support can be very very good for the right price.

That said, I know at least some financial institutions use their fair share of open source tools. They're often best of breed.

Gmail Password Goes Missing
I've noticed that several times since I've started using Gmail on Android devices, Google now stupidly assumes that I wish to use them for email password recovery. If I can't log into Gmail on my computer, WTF makes Google think I'll have nay better luck using a smartphone with a tiny little keyboard that makes my keyboarding far more error prone in the first place.

Google hates myopic people whose 3+ year old eyeglasses just don't make it anymore. It seems that every time I manage ti mis-type a Gmail password more than once, usually on a smartphone and/or after being forced to create a new password that isn't yet burned into myu fingertips, I end up in a pointless loop trying to recover the password for my main Gmail account and can't do that because it locks me out after I fail maybe three times.

Gmail is becoming less and less useful to me and thus more and more annoying.

Ada has the notion of attributes applying to types and variables, to access related properties. Among those, there are attributes to get the starting and ending indexes of an array.

Sure! I'd say even to keep it up. Release the music separately as well, but these kinds of more sensory productions can be useful to keep fans and to get new ones. You could end up known as the artist the releases as apps as well as normal albums.

There's also no need anymore to frame releases as albums to be honest, that's a by product of the distribution medium. Just make what you like and resonates with the kind of fans you want and enjoy being creative.

For what it's worth, the article you cited states that there was a lack of technical forensic evidence, which was not a problem in the Dahmer case.

Finally sitting down and telling myself: "DUDE, FOCUS" As I realized how much easier it was to do things one at a time was a real life-saver.
Why the iPhone 7’s Screen Looks So Amazing Despite Its Dated Tech
I would assume Politics. From a technical side they're great.

However what is happening there basically taking work away from big outsourcing contracts(Lots of easy money involved) with companies like Capgmini. Upsetting the people in those companies, and civil servants who want to eventually work with those companies. These companies generally hires ex-civil servants they used to work with.

They're also taking away responsibility from the individual departments also upsetting empire building civil servants, even if GDS is doing a better job. At the moment there's talk of breaking up gds and giving services back to the departments who did a terrible job in the first place.

So you get a lot of drama and arguments involved, and "House of Cards" style schemes against them to try to get rid of them. Frankly with all the money and self interest against them, i've surprised they've lasted this long.
Not by itself. By itself it would be counter-indicative. But assuming good intent, I felt the buzzword-compliance indicated an understanding of the deeper issues involved.

It's a difficult situation. I don't want to spend all day reading an article defending CoreOS. But if you throw that buzzword out, I'm assuming you've had some good discussions about your OS selection and could provide that depth if needed. Same for the others. They're not right or wrong choices, but I'm assuming they're there not because the team wanted to be trendy, but because there was real architectural need.

If we're discussing architecture, by necessity we're going to have to skim over a lot of stuff. I was okay that given the team's desire to prevent a single point of failure that the pieces listed worked towards that goal.

It's very easy to put too much stuff into a system. It's also very easy just to do trendy stuff without thinking through the consequences. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt until shown otherwise -- and at the end of my comment I was clear about what some of my concerns were.
Your open source support case is 100% true if you know the language it is written in and the debugging tools. If not, 3am is not a good time to learn it. So for something at the heart of your business, choose a tech which has a community you trust behind it, whether that community is a longstanding FOSS community like Postgres, a company earning money through a closed-source embargo, or a well-developed internal team.

If areas of the brain could have any purpose, why are the same purposes allocated to the same areas in each person? This doesn't make any sense to me. Of course, brains aren't totally uniform, but the fact that you can say "x area is used for y activity in general" seems pretty absurd.
Or maybe there is a particular, most efficient arrangement of departments. But surely this can't be achieved in every individual. I wish studies didn't try to be as general sometimes - the anomalies are more interesting.
