The problem here is that it might set precedence and that the long time loss would be bigger if that precedent isn't set, compared to the intermediate costs of subtitles.
The problem is that when the system does not guarantee consistency, you force the application developer using the system to solve that problem. Each application developed, will have to solve the same problem. Besides the fact the same effort is done over and over again, you also are forcing application developers to solve a problem for which they probably do not have the right skill set. In short, that strategy is wasteful (replicating work) and risky (they'll make mistakes)

When the next iPhone has a single-core score with a wide margin over the single-core score of the fastest current normal i7, and an equivalent multi-core score against the same i7, then we can say Apple has caught up.

Why wide margin of single? Because artificial benchmarks are not a good measure, and due to unrelated factors, and also due to how most programs are strongly single threaded in performance, program execution performance in the real world no longer linearly scales with raw IPS increases, nor does it scale linearly with IPS + cache/memory performance increases.

Also, the whole "but the iPhone chip is only dual core, and modern i7s are quads"... too bad. If you're going to make the argument of desktop performance, then you have to apples-to-apples the comparison. You can say, however, the new iPhone CPU has good performance, because it legitimately does... for a phone, not for a desktop.
I'm on the east coast as well (Boston). Although I dislike San Francisco for taking away talent and attention from Boston I wouldn't consider them weird compared to local Cambridgites. You want oddity come to Cambridge MA. To be honest though I love weird.

The major weird thing I don't like about SF is the climate (like why is hot during the wrong times of year).

I'm disappointed of Norway, they could do so much better than that.

It's strange as they usually do - remember how humanely and thoughtful they handled the terror incidents of 2011.
The AX line is really a system on a chip, but the CPU is something like 0.1 to 0.2 watts. Remember these get ~1/3 of a ~2,0000 mAh battery and can last for several hours.
The stated reason was that we needed to be more predictable so other teams could rely on our output. By focusing on one project at a time, it was less likely that the project would fall behind schedule.
A lot of good talent left around this time.
Sounds like you should be doing this. I'd read it :)
Much easier this time around given that Carbon is no longer in the picture. There will be holdouts like Adobe and Microsoft, but those companies are not the powerhouses they used to be on the Mac.

The switch to ARM is largely a matter of 'when' not 'if' at this point.
You must not be aware that you can set a password (which ssh-keygen calls a passphrase) on your private key file. The private key file will be encrypted and without the password will be useless, if your password is strong. Then you get the best of both.

Setting a passphrase on your key file is also actually widely considered a "best practice" and "conventional wisdom" ... so maybe those old guys knew something after all...
It's amazing how low the wolf population is in Norway, 68 wolfs in the entire country! While here in Minnesota we have nearly 2,300 wolfs across 439 wolf packs mid winter 2016[1]. But that puts them only at 3.2 wolves per 100 km2 of occupied range[2]. That must make the wolf density and total range in Norway absurdly low, why would they "cull" the wolfs when there are so few.

Plus the wolfs are not really a problem here in Minnesota, a few people's pets have been killed, which sucks but thats all you really here about.

Go would probably be the opposite of this, and I would argue that is a good thing. Hiring "smarter" people by picking a more esoteric language is likely to result in you having an esoteric or "clever" code base. That's just going to cost you in terms of maintenance in the long term, and it's not a requirement for productivity. You should be able to hire good people without this kind of filter, and use the tools that best fit your domain. That may or may not be Go, but at least it emphasizes consistency, simplicity, and readability, which is basically the opposite of what you get out of Scala.

I don't think Adobe and Microsoft, the two biggest third party Mac developers, care what Apple imposes on the Mac App Store.

And they certainly won't be too happy about having to rewrite, again, their applications (I think Office for Mac is not yet fully 64bits, but I could be wrong, haven't checked in a while.)
So an incompetent liar fooled the government for years and then walked off with 1.5 million classified documents. I guess all the people that hired and promoted him should be unemployed, right? They didn't even verify he graduated from high school.
Read the HN comments on that article. It's bullshit.
BerkeleyDB is great. I'm honestly surprised it doesn't see more use. It's right in the sweet spot for software that doesn't quite need a relational model, and that seems to be a lot of software.
As someone who worked at a company that hired HRC to speak, I can speak from experience. We were not buying influence. She was there to impress attendees (e.g., prospective and existing clients) with a speech and photo opps afterward -- same as the other speakers we brought in previously and after.

It's easy to see conspiracies from afar, but the reality -- at least our reality -- was mundane.
Not these days. FDE is so common and easy to use now, it might well have been an option you blindly hit upon install. And that's just in consumer environments. In corporate environments, in any company with a half-decent infosec department, all employees' computers will simply be required to have FDE, regardless of what they do on the computers.
A conservative oversell ratio is 4:1. I've seen them as high as 100:1 in older communities. Also, counterintuitively, with some exceptions, the higher the speed you promise, the greater your oversell rate can be.

4:1 on a 1Gb connection gets you 4Gb/s. Divided into 500 connections is 8Mb/s per connection. I've fought this battle before on HN, but everyone does not need a 150Mb/s connection. Yes, some people do, but most do not.

I haven't checked recently but last time I looked an HD Netflix stream used about 5mb/s of bandwidth. I think your assumption that half of your subscribers would be streaming video is a bit on the high side -- in some communities it may be accurate but not most by my observations. For planning, I would say 10%, maybe 20% tops.

If you're selling a 100Mb/s to residential customers, you could probably even oversell at 8:1 or higher, since their usage compared to total will be much lower.

Your oversell rate will also heavily dependent on how much your base is commercial/business customers. Residential use is peanuts during business hours, business use is peanuts during residential hours. So you can almost oversell by a factor of 2x over your normal rate for business vs residential, and it's also been my experience that as a whole, businesses use far less bandwidth than residential.

There are some outliers that will really skew your numbers. If you sell a 100Mb/s connection to a college that is providing it to their dorms with 1000 students, you can almost guarantee they will be nearly continuously saturating their connection.

Edit: adding answer for 2nd question.
For the most part, without any throttling or queuing users downloading will get an equal share of the bandwidth available. 10 simultaneous users would get 100Mb/s, 100 simutaneously downloading users would get 10Mb/s each.

Upload is what will kill your bandwidth. One user saturating your connection with outbound traffic will slow everyone down.

But most ISPs queue/rate limit customer traffic. It's integrated into most commercial wireless equipment and routers. On top of that, depending on what technology you use, CPE(customer premise equipment) generally doesn't have the ability to pull more than 100mb/s. Some are lower, a few can go up. I'm not a Mimosa fan yet, but there is a guy woth a usually well informed blog[1] that sings their praises in providing multi-hundred megabit service to residential customers. My experiences with Mimosa gear have been such that I can't recommend them right now, but they have potential.

Current Parallels is an x86 virtualisation product, yes.

This is sad.

Although the gray wolf as a species is classifed as "Least Concern" by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), the Scandinavian wolf population is classified as 'Engdangered'.

Instead of killing wolves, we should be trapping them and redistributing them to help ensure genetic diversity in isolated populations like Scandinavia's.
>They said availability was "death of a child", not dropping log messages.

True, but it appears to me that availability problems and dropped log messages often have the same root cause - network issues.

So whenever they do have availability issues (and dying babies) they won't be able to investigate properly because log messages are being lost as well.

That's obviously a very general observation. It may well be that in their architecture availability issues are mostly caused by something unrelated to networking (e.g. the database).

I think there is some serious flaws in the author's logic. Having the free time to learn the 'fashionable' new language doesn't mean you are smarter or a better programmer; it just means you have more free time.

In my professional experience, people that are always learning new languages or are constantly using new libraries and frameworks are never the ones who accomplish the most. They simply are the ones who are always seeking novelty; they never become great at a language, because they are always wanting to try something new. They start lots of projects, but don't finish them.

I don't think those are the best qualities to look for in employees.

If you want to experience a "programmer factory", learn Java and get a job at a bank.
The problem with JEE is when you leave Java Transactions - i.e., interact with some external system as part of a transaction. Then there is no way around writing the transaction compensation/recovery/reconciliation logic to handle partial failures.
On the other point, I agree that JEE is unfairly maligned. We build a modern AngularJS/Material frontend on a JavaEE 7 backend and get all the benefits of a scalable, secure enterprise platform from Java EE.
Swift Playgrounds is the first step.
If you want to compare seemingly different things, it is useful, and almost required, to normalize.

The big one, as far as I can tell (I've been reading through the prospectus and the latest dell 10q), is that the tracking stock is actually an unsecured interest in Dell (Dell Class V shares). So, you're exposed to Dell going bankrupt: secured creditors would get the vmware stake if Dell can't pay the ~ $1.6 Billion in interest they owe per year.
.net 4.6 and runtime and gc upgrades are all in the pipeline. but that doesnt help anyone right now.
One of the things pointed out in the findings is that Berkeley makes people/tools/systems readily available to the people producing these resources, but does not require them to be used. Generally, the costs may be prohibitive after the fact if the people producing the material did not take them into consideration. However, they can usually be factored into the costs of production up front, and steps can be taken to make it easier to make the material accessible.

In most cases, it is probably simply a lack of awareness on the part of the people making the material available. The difficult part is educating the faculty and staff of the University about the legal requirements they must meet and the resources available to them to make compliance easier, and, perhaps more importantly, an integral part of the process.

We run an average of 14k logs/sec through a two-node RMQ cluster, with max sustained throughput in the ~50k range. You're spot on with the bottleneck being Elasticsearch, but the latest releases in the 2.x train have a lot of fine adjustments that have drastically improved our indexing rate, such that we actually index at a 50k/sec rate. Would be interested to hear about your ES cluster configuration.
I tried Impromptu many years ago, but I am now using Extempore, which is sort of its successor by Andrew Sorensen [1]. You can livecode audio and visuals with it. It has two languages within it to use: xtlang, a low-level, expressive language that is as fast as C compiled by an LLVM backend, and a Scheme-based language for higher-level magic within Extempore. Great project, super helpful developers!

[Edit] I wanted to include mention of the cross-platform, all-in-one executable, GRACE (Graphical Realtime Algorithmic Composition Environment) that may be easier to start with. It has built-in tutorials, and is based on Common Music, Common Lisp Music, and has lots of functionality. The single Windows executable has all of that wrapped inside of it. I used it before Extempore, so now I am using the examples in GRACE and trying to copy them in Extempore to learn Extempore, since they both have language similarities - Scheme/Lisp. Extempore is now easier to use on any platform, since binaries are available; you no longer need to build it yourself.

WW3 and UFO SPOTTED SNIFFING VAPOURS FROM GERMANS BIG CHIMNEY AT RUNCORN UK -
We made some "One Minute Movie" robot reality TV spots at the Stupid Fun Club, about Empathy [1] and Servitude [2], written by Will Wright, who also participated in Battlebots with his daughter Cassidy and their vegetative robot Super Chiabot [3].

The one minute movies never ran due to contractual problems between NBC and SAG. We used hidden cameras, and the humans were real unsuspecting people, but I'll admit it's true they didn't accurately portray the everyday lives of actual robots in the real world: the robot's injuries and Professor Johnson's phone number were fake, and the robot waiter was fired.

The point of NBC's one-minute reality shows was to tell short entertaining two-part cliffhanger stories, which NBC would broadcast as interstitial programming at the beginning and end of commercial breaks, to compel people to keep watching TV and submit to more advertisements. [4]

But the point of Will's stories and performance was to explore how people interact and empathize with robots, discover what their beliefs and expectations are, and probe to test how easy humans are to fool or convince to play along with real-time tele-robotic wizard-of-oz man-behind-the-curtain mumbo-jumbo.

So, XMLRPC, recast in new clothing? The concept is quite sound, imo, which is why it's been done before. Fear of the wire protocol should not be cause to avoid mature technologies and protocols.
It sounds too crazy to be true, but that's the situation I was in when I left Twitter. I was told that meeting all of my goals meant that I wasn't taking enough risks in setting my goals. Being a bit burnt out after working long hours to meet these goals, I responded by working less.

Our team was told that we were letting projects slip past their external deadlines because we'd shifted our focus to the next thing. In order to prevent that, we were no longer going to start on a second project until the first one was finished. When a company has over a thousand engineers and is heavily committed to not innovating on its core product, predictability is more important than productivity.
It would work. But you're going to be treated like scum for months, and that's enough of a deterrent for most people.
I'm perfectly aware that you can and almost always should encrypt the keyfile; the point I'm trying to make is that you still need a keyfile and the existence of that file can itself be a concern in some situations even it it can't be immediately used by an attacker.

I know nothing of costs, but the convincing part is easy on the fringes of N Phoenix. 10's of thousands of people historically have paid good money every month to the tele-monopoly for sub-standard inet(40 year old copper delivering >200ms latency @ 1.2mb/s down on good day, if it hasn't rained recently). In the past 2 years two startups have started providing 10mb/s + wireless packages for equivalent prices and people are jumping at the new option as fast as they can "unbundle" their albatross inet from their monthly tele-monopoly bills.

Pretty much what paulddraper guessed, the stated goal was to ensure that the first project is completed as quickly as possible so that our output would be more reliable for other teams. That meeting happened during my last week, so I can only hope that it wasn't strictly enforced.
This is an amazing quote, applicable to much more than modular synthesiser hardware :

"The tendency, as Buchla once argued, was that when engineers designed instruments, “they design from the inside out. They design the circuits, and then they put knobs on them.” But if a designer expects to design legitimate instruments, he has to design them from the outside in. He has to build the outside of the instrument first. This is what the musician is going to encounter. You cannot become obsolete if you design a legitimate instrument from the outside in."

Very good observations, proving once again, I can learn by listening to other view points. You nailed it with 'it's a "buyers" market for socializing', and you keep flocking to less threatening or less comfortable social groups.
I think this is mostly good, but as we have both put forth, can lead to not dealing with reality at times. Again, to be able to get away from the extremes is beneficial, but to never confront others or our own personal fears might not allow us to grow more.
We grow through obstacles, and that includes awkward, and at times scary, social ones too, not just the technical or intellectual ones.

Do I think she bends the rules to make money/protect her ass? Yes.

Do I think she bends the rules less than the other guy? I don't know. Probally not?

On a side note, I will probally vote her. Why? Because I don't think Trump will raise tariffs, or can raise tariffs enough to "Make American great again."

That said, I remember, in the 90's, Hillary made close to $100,000 on a under $1000 futures contract. It was supposedly under the "guidance" of the head attorney for Tyson foods. I was in college at the fine, but remember being floored when I heard how much she made in one year. They were middle class Americans when she made that huge amount of money. It must have been a world record at the time?

We talked about it in class, and the instructor said, "I don't think I've ever met a successful investor that didn't get insider information. He said the wealthy/politicians are given preferential treatment. I remember he said Hillary should have been required to have an account of at least $12,000 in order to even play the future's contract she won on.

Anyways, I don't know a wealthy person who didn't cheat in their lives. The ones who claim it was luck/just hard work are in denial.

(I'm personally sick of wealthy people cheating the system. I can honestly state I have never met one that was completely honest. And then again, I most likely will vote for her. I don't want to go back to no insurance, and a bunch of conservative judges. Oh, yea, I remember reading a multiple studies where Supreme Court judges cannot be expected to vote line they did in the past once on that bench. Meaning--conservative judges sometimes ve one liberal ones. So, that isn't high on my radar.)
