They've been pushing live video pretty hard. It's on Facebook itself, via some Blizzard games, in Messenger.

Their At Work products are being refined all the time.

And as mentioned they have plenty of open source stuff.
Why not worry about what goes to the browser? In my eyes, what actually runs in the browser is the only thing that matters in the end. You could still write in something like Jade, transpiler, minify, then strip unneeded tags, all with automation.
It's easier to use for the lay person than a from-source-compilation you execute as a command line binary.
it's not a competition, though. If there's something better to do, also do that. However, that does still leave the question of how many bytes are actually saved in transport, especially with gzipping. The benefit here is absolutely not individual developers or even individual sites, but the data transfered by entire data centers over the course of a day, week, month etc. If this recommendation can bring down the total byte transmission for "the web" by 0.001% for instance, that's still a boatload of bytes that don't bog down the network anymore.
Prior to any authentication, a private session key is negotiated and used for encryption for the life of the session. The password (or proof of key ownership, or cert) used for auth is only used for auth, and is only sent after DH key negotiation is complete.
This just seems like something that should've been fixed years ago
Year 2016: 4.5 G Networks rising, Smartphones with 1440P Screens are normal and many pictures and videos distributed in 4K resolution.

And you really think about minification of html, js, or css to save some bytes?
It's such a great game, and there are so many different ways to play. I know how to win a 15 rune game with a Deep Elf Fire Elementalist, but when I try to play as melee it's a totally different game and I can't get very far past Lair.
Things like Jade do not make this advice moot. You can still apply this advice after transpile step.
Some thoughts on a X86 -> ARM migration:

- Most 3rd party Apple development is already happening on ARM. This would inject new life into the desktop/laptop product line. Think of the thousands of apps that could now run on those platforms.

- Apple gets rid of a massive chunk of BOM cost improving margins, i.e. Intel CPU.

- No need to emulate X86 if Apple can do binary translation instead. There are already OSS projects like MC-Semantics (https://github.com/trailofbits/mcsema) that can take an X86 binary and emit LLVM IR. In theory you could give that to the ARM LLVM backend and relink to ARM frameworks. This would be an interesting problem to solve vis-a-vis code signing. One way would be for Apple to sign a code signing identity for each user, have the OS translate the binary, prompt the user for a password to get the private key from the keychain, sign the new executable, save it, and then run it.

- I actually wonder how many desktop apps are commonly used on the macOS platform, and how big of a problem in 2016 an arch switch would be. Muggles are already predominantly using mobile devices. I'm guessing 99% of users use one of 100 (or less) desktop apps. I imagine it to be quite the long-tail.
For those who are scratching their heads wondering who this is, he's the author of qemu. It can already do arm and x86 emulation very well.

Also, if you want to see a list of crazy shit this guy has done, see: http://bellard.org/
Yup, this is exactly right. The way I usually look at is this - if I put 100 customers on a link that had unlimited bandwidth and then watch the max usage on that link, how high will it spike and for how much time? The current situation is that 100 customers won't spike to more than around 400-500 megs for more than a few minutes a day. But that number goes down the more customers you aggregate, to the point that 600 or 700 customers won't spike to more than 1gpbs for more than a few minutes a day. So if you buy a 1gbps link to serve them, you're only slowing things down for a few minutes a day.
Why do people think that because someone is a shareholder/CEO in a company, all their deeds from that point on are purely self-interest?

Depends on the CEO and company. The behavior of a company reflects the behavior of its CEO. Microsoft and Facebook both have a a history of bad behavior.

I agree with much of what you say. I do notice how your solution squarely targets corporations. I think that gives everyone a passive excuse and shifts blame. I say target the individuals with the laws and make them feel it and take ownership. You drive,you get taxed per mile. You dont seperate your garbage you get fined. You fly you get taxed. You buy plastic you get taxed...etc. That way everyone doing those things and every company doing those things will then all pay for it. Thing is its easier to shift blame and point finger at corporations than for people to accept it themselves. Then good luck trying to convince other countries to do the same.
> But for others - if the point of travel is to have new and novel experiences, and your senses being the primary entry point for experiences, India is the most intense sensory experience I've ever had - the smells, the sounds, and the sights all combine to overwhelm.

Sounds like something a westerner visiting India would say. For people from there (my family is from nearby Bangladesh), a train is just a way to get to a business meeting or to visit family. I don't imagine Indian commuters--in general--appreciate the food smells any more than American commuters do (it's always the vacationers who bring smelly food onto the Amtrak, not the regular commuters or business travelers).

In fact I'd wager that's why the "rich food culture" of the trains has "vanished." What the author sees as the lamentable loss of some cultural phenomenon, most Indians probably see as a laudable step toward modern comforts.
I don't think that explains it, either: Even in low contrast, the illusion fails w/o the lines, as far as I can tell.

Correct answer is actually yes. And it's no different than logging in to the wrong web site. You're trusting that the server you incorrectly connected to is not capturing your failed credentials - which it absolutely does see if you're using password auth - with malicious intent.

This is true for any remote system that you're authenticating to with a password that must be verified on the server side, and isn't specific to ssh's password auth.

This reasoning is why I write all the web pages for my personal projects using XHTML. I can't be bothered to remember which tags are self-closing, which tags need explicit closing tags which can't be combined into the opening tag, etc. Everything's consistent in XHTML.

No offense, but if you were at the receiving end of things, you probably won't find it funny. This (the 'biscuit bandit' thing - though I'm reading it described thus for the first time), has been a menace plaguing gullible travelers on India trains for many years now.

With millions of people traveling each day on thousands of routes across the length and breadth of the country, it is happy hunting grounds for the culprits. In some cases, people end up losing their life savings. Sad, shocking, but true all the same, even today.

> Is it possible to be passively unethical?

If that's the question you want to ask, then the problem is badly under-specified.

> "out of bounds"

Including the prior probability that the situation can even happen is important information; if a specific value for this probability was desired, the problem should have included it.

> dismisses the spirit of the problem

Quite a few people in this thread seem are dismissing the Bayesian solution even though it does resolve an ethical dilemma.

Is it better to take an unethical action to prevent a greater tragedy? If the situation is very unusual and easily-confused human senses are a more probable explanation, then the ethical response is to recognize your own limitations.

Leaving out these details results in a model that won't actually match anything in the real world.

I think the real situation is more depressing than that. Behavioural change won't matter unless the whole world does it.

The rate of new global carbon emissions is increasing. This is despite any efforts to be greener or more renewable by individuals or institutions.

Why? Because there's demand for fossil fuels, it's legal to produce it.

How will changing individual behaviour in the west reduce global emissions or even slow their rate of growth? (Am assuming you're western)

I'm being a bit too pessimistic of course. If individuals in the west create demand for technologies that work better than fossil fuels, then we could reduce global emissions. So behavioural changes could help with that.

But as long as carbon benefits some places that need energy, it will be used. That's at least what we've seen over the past 30 years the world has focussed on reducing annual carbon emissions. They've increased instead.

It's an improved version of Google's sparsehash, with better performance and actual key deletion (instead of erasure), though with a slight memory hit.

It links to a performance comparison of their sparse++ with g++ version 4.8.4's std::unordered_map, Boost version 1.55's unordered_map, and Google's Sparsehash and cpp-btree libraries, at https://github.com/greg7mdp/sparsepp/blob/master/bench.md .

It took me too many years in the industry to figure this out. When I'm in "get it done" mode spanning consecutive long days, I do not think calmly or clearly enough to recognize the opportunities along the way that I could have taken to achieve my goal faster/better. Since realizing this, I cannot count how many times I have come in the next morning with new and better ideas and approaches after reflecting on the previous day's sprint during my own, calm, personal time.
Indeed it is. Microsoft: 118000 employees, Github: 603 employees. I don't understand why everyone expects Github to push more open source projects? They are still fairly small company.
I hope you are not suggesting that scala is esoteric or that it is not the right tool for the job in a huge amount of situations. It is a full on industrial language that has been proven in tons of high value and performance-demanding situations. C# might have initially taken Java as an inspiration, but ever since 2.0, Scala has been the bigger influence on its design...and rightly so. If a smart programmer is one who comes up with smart solutions, Scala can be part of that solution.
This is prior versions of Chrome taking up disk space, not memory. That's a completely separate issue.
Unfortunately, bitcode is too low level to use for cross-compiling. It's an intermediate representation that's already "on its way" to being code for one architecture.

It is more useful for supporting a new CPU feature or maybe working around a compiler bug without fully recompiling.
How about this theory: The military is not democratic in its internal organization, so the lower ranks don't have much say. And the "revolving door" phenomenon with defense industry will make sure the top brass can be influenced.

If the committee performs a judicial review which in this context I am understanding it does it is technically a "court".
You miss the big picture of "the web" rather than "a dev", or "a web site". The more pages, across all devs and all websites, that build their content in a way that omits the optional tags in HTML, the fewer bytes we have that need to be pumped through data centers and routing paths on the planet.

It's not so much about "if you're google" but "if we all do this": a 0.001% reduction in global byte transfers would constitute a massive saving despite looking like a tiny number.
Does anyone have any suggestions for cheap 3g and up modules? For 2g I can get a module off aliexpress that has 2g, GPS, and Bluetooth with a uart based interface for less than 15 bucks not including the antennas. For 3g, sadly I couldn't find anything anywhere near that price range and instead what I found was usually in the 40$ and up area.

In the USA, tmobile will be shutting down 2g in I think 2020, which is not that far off. Hence me wanting to get on 3g ASAP, but all solutions seem ridiculously expensive.

I haven't looked as 3g USB do goes in the past, they seem to be sub twenty dollars, but there is no way I am having my little micro with 8kb of ram run an entire host USB stack with enough resources left over for my code.

More generally, the Friedman-esque "flattening" of the world has made a lot of things less special. It wasn't immediately obvious to me what we were losing at the time, but I now have a certain nostalgia for a time, just a couple short decades ago, when you could find things in your travels (foreign and domestic) that you couldn't simply order online or, at least, find on eBay. Souvenirs make so much less sense and feel so much less special when you don't need to travel to get them.

Of course, I do not view the past with such rose-colored glasses that I cannot understand that these goods have a wider market than ever and are accessible (both in terms of affordability and physical access) to more people than ever. The businessperson in a small village somewhere sure isn't sad that their market has become effectively infinite.

After all, many lament the bygone day of air travel when seats were comfortable and service excellent without realizing that they, like me, would not have been able to afford to travel by air at all 50 years ago.

To bring it full circle, it sounds like the author is recognizing that, while that world of nostalgia is lost to her as she is now able to travel by air due to increasing wealth, so too a poorer generation of Indians is now able to afford to travel by train (home-cooked meals or not) when before they could not travel at all.
As someone who used to work a lot with XML, I was annoyed to bits by XML parsers forcing me to always use tags that a parser could trivially infer from the target document model. Especially since XML was (and still is) for data transmission, and absolutely not for data storage, it always struck me as an incredibly wasteful approach to transmission data packing.
I tend to do something similar, but I always at least open an issue/PR (depending on the amount of work I did on the fork) and just list the things I did, why I did them, and some useful docs/links that can help someone pick up where I left off.

on multiple occasions I've gotten emails about PRs I made and self-closed with someone thanking me for the start of the general solution, and that finished it up and made it into a full PR.

"bad" is relative. The CEO's of the tobacco companies had a history of knowingly killing people. Microsoft was aggressively anti-competitive, Facebook was (and still is) very much opposed to privacy on the Internet.

A company is many cogs. The fact that Bill Gates was anti-competitive doesn't make him, the individual, a bad person. That's very clear from the work he's doing now. So assuming that all decisions stem from greed, from anyone, is a silly assumption.
