Content Marketing ROI: How We Measure Success at Hubstaff
The year of Linux on the desktop was 2007. That's when netbooks first showed up, and manufacturers put them out with Linux on because an XP license cost so much relative to the cost of the gadget. This was the first time MS had to treat Linux as an actual direct competitor.
The screen itself mainly, is incredibly dull. it has a matt covering that i thought I wanted, but turns out i don't. When compared in indirect sunlight with the mRBP i can't read the text in a terminal. Practically unusable in certain situations. Often I like to work sitting outside on my balcony and couldn't.

Battery life is quite poor despite considerable tweaking. Rarely get more than 2-3 hours of reasonable (low % cpu) use. Disable WiFi and decrease screen brightness and i can get 9-10 on an aircraft on a long flight. I fell it is getting worse over time too.

I've also had WiFi driver issues with suspend and resume on linux AND windows. Assumed it was just Ubuntu and their horrendous lack of QA for hardware. My wife also has the same issue on the Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 on win 10. I just rmmod and insmod the wifi kernel module to repair. PITA.

i had similar trackpad issues, these have been resolved.

Keyboard is way way too soft/shallow. Could be an issue on most laptops these days.

Speakers are on the base of the unit and are incredibly quiet. Quiet to the point where if you have a gentle breeze whip up you completely lose the sound.

Considering the cost I'm not impressed. The screen kills it for me. even glare reflecting off windows wipes it out at max brightness.
Very much agree. Would you have any recommendation?

I suspect you overestimate the extent to which your programming experience would translate to formal studies. Unless you're some sort of genius (possible of course), you'd be extremely optimistic to embark on a degree hoping to finish it in a couple of months.
Hmm... That is an interesting problem, but I've not found anything. You would need some sort of proof-of-work for it to make behavioral sense though.
> Microsoft has _repeatedly_ lost anti-trust lawsuits in the past 16 years for this exact sort of behavior. How is it that they have not learned their lesson?

Lack of effective penalties, clearly.
It is entirely possible that Microsoft asked for them to be locked down.

While OEMs try to spin crapware as a value add for the consumer, it's actually paid product placement. The OEMs make money off of installing crapware on your PC.

So, if the Signature Editions don't have crapware then that eats into the OEM's profit margins. What incentive do OEMs have to deploy the Signature Edition? Does Microsoft offer it at a lower cost? Do they pay OEMs to make Signature Editions?

It's entirely possible that if Microsoft is selling the Signature Edition for less or even paying OEMs to deploy it, then they might also make greater demands about system configurations and even ask that the devices be locked.

Microsoft requires Secure Boot on all Windows machines but only requires locked firmware on Mobile/RT devices. It's possible they could require locked firmware on Signature Editions as well.

If anything, Gates, Altman and the likes remind me of James Taggart from Rand's novel. A corporation has no duty to anyone other than employees, customers, shareholders and immediate stakeholders. It is hard enough to do right by that group of people and all forms of charity should be voluntary. What I'm getting from this is that will become some form of defacto obligation and this must be resisted lest we end up with a dystopian world while in pursuit of 'eutopia'.
Lots of speculation about how long these apps will last. I personally suspect it's Hangouts that will be chopped. Google looked at Facebook Messenger and realised that the future was in personal assistants and the illusion of virtual/simulated AI, and realised also that Hangouts would become an unmanageable mess with more features added, so they are rolling out a Messenger competitor and a Hangouts video replacement with a transitional period to assess both feasibility, interest and to enable Hangouts customers to explore alternatives ahead of the shutdown, while attracting new business along the way.

Personally, I like Duo because I can talk to my partner with video even though my partner is on Android and is a bit of a technophobe.

The almost-too-simple UI is much easier for my partner to use than Hangouts, and Skype is a dog. I also do not use Facebook.

Google, like Apple now, and like Microsoft before it, is playing catch-up to Facebook and arguably has been since Google+. It's like Hollywood: remakes are far from innovative and are loathed by many who liked the originals or who crave fresh material, but a remake is much easier to get through the boardroom and easier to make profitable. Google should be pushing the boundaries but it's afraid of tarnishing its credibility with potentially bad decisions. They also want to appear active I suppose, and to collect what data they can from people who are likely to be loyal to a Google competitor to Facebook.

I think Google should be thinking doing more than buying up tech talent in acquihires and inflating an already bloated app ecosystem that threatens what business they already have, but I'm not a business person.

As others have already replied, sometimes it can. But sometimes, and particularly if we care about efficiency, this is so difficult that we're not even close to being able to automate it.

For example, here is my "formal definition" of a primality checker:

IsPrime(Int n) = n > 1 and not(exists a, b in Int: a > 1 and b > 1 and a * b == n)

It is not directly executable, because it uses the "exists" quantifier over all integers. A clever code extractor should be able to somehow convert this to a finite computation. But would it be able to come up with the polynomial-time AKS primality test? [1] I highly doubt it.

Unless, of course, there is a special case for recognizing this particular definition. But I don't think that really counts, because I'm only using primality checking as an example. You can't have a special case for everything.

I wonder what happens if you try to boot DOS (e.g. from USB) on current hardware, including these laptops.

My newest laptop isn't that new; it's an IBM x60 (the famous one with the fully free BIOS available, although I haven't switched... yet) and it does run DOS perfectly well. When I replaced the HDD with an SSD all I had to do was image the partition over to the new one and everything just worked. I've run Linux and even OS X(!) on it.

But from the experiences I've seen of people with newer hardware, including articles like this and the other one about new CPUs and Windows 10, it appears newer PCs are becoming far more closed and proprietary, and that's definitely NOT a good thing.

It is, but Semantic UI is better because it has a more quality design and more ready made, flexible modules to chose from.

Both are great, but if you can, pick Semantic UI. I love it.
Interesting perspective, I too have worked with large financial institutions (for 15 years if that matters) including RBS :)

Organisational red-tape is obviously part of the problem but that's part of what I meant by complexity. Change in large FS companies comes slowly because of their size and complexity both organisationally and technologically.

Once you get a complex network setup and a load of systems that aren't designed to work together (which tends to happen over time as technologies shift) implementing new layers across the top of them takes time.

One of the problems with changing existing systems is that impact to production is something which has to be avoided, so changes to those systems have to be planned carefully. Now it's arguable that some organisations take that too far, but it's not fair (I think) to suggest that all of the change controls in place in those companies are "FUD".

IMHO, it is not OK to lock down things you own. I have been a victim. I bought an AppleTV v2 and a planned obsolescence by Apple and Google rendered it useless (with a YouTube API version requirement).

PCs are special in that, they are general purpose devices and not appliances. If you are using it as an appliance, chances are, you are not interested in running another operating system on it.

Testing Angular 2 apps – Part 2
I sleep like a babe most of the time (in my late 40's). I attribute this to three main factors:

- little/no caffeine everyday (I do love chocolate, but I don't eat it everyday)

- exercise, both strength and conditioning (not just HIIT, but also LSD)

- and importantly, ability to mentally box up and put aside highly stressful or critical issues (I mull over them and rigorously tear them apart, then decide on the first step - how to eat an elephant? one small bite at a time. If my subconscious then processes it further, all the better the next morning after a good night's sleep).
>the cortex implements some kind of general purpose algorithm

That algorithm is really just the laws of physics being followed in a very, very complex system.

Not to be overly pedantic, but when you say "some sort of general algorithm," what do you mean? Do you mean that there is some sort of information processing in the cortex (everyone's cortex!) that could be written down and named "the process of cognition"?

Perhaps by "some sort of general algorithm" you really mean the mechanisms underlying neuroplasticity, which are what enable learning and memory and this arguably the ability to have what we call consciousness?

I don't mean to nitpick (and I don't think I am) but this tendency among HN comments to try to shoehorn principles of computing into an alleged understanding of cognition seems to be both popular and, well, unsupported by any existing science.

The world would be a better place if everybody took the effort to make their point with precision, simplicity and clarity.

Readers who have spent ten times as long wading through B's contribution are quite likely to have forgotten entirely about A's.
