>Intel seems to be captured in its own x86 world.
Eh, no.

>even the x64 extensions were designed by AMD.

AMD (not working solo) has published the spec in 2000, AMD, Intel, VIA and a few others have a pretty different implementation of that spec, Intel's x64 extension is drastically different than AMD's implementation.

Intel has been adding new extensions with virtually every generation, just look at how many generation of virtualization support extensions we've had.

>the few projects for breaking out of their box failed (Ithanium, Larrabee).

Itanium died because the industry didn't want to take a "RISC" (;)).

Larrabee isn't dead, in fact it is very much alive it is just inside your CPU, the AVX extension set and the silicon that supports are Larrabee's vector processing units.
Intel just more or less had the insight to see that Larrabee won't go anywhere really and they can shrink it and implement it into every CPU within a few years.

Larrabee was interesting but it was not here and not there, Intel went to implement the good parts of it into each of their own CPU's and for HPC/GPGPU like computing it went a different way by releasing the Xeon-Phi.

>And also: why are there no Intel chips yet who include all the nice things USB-C can offer to the market? E.g. Thunderbolt, newest DisplayPort.

This just shows your utter lack of understanding of the technology landscape.
I was tempted to cynically ask you about what version of Thunderbolt you have on your non-Intel machine to see if you fall for it, but alas I don't want to spread misinformation.

USB-C doesn't bring Thunderbolt not Displayport to the market, USB-C can be mechanically compatible with those 2.
Thunderbolt is Intel's proprietary technology and its upto the system integrator to decide if they want to implement it or not, don't buy cheap ass laptops get the latest thunderbolt.

As for displayport could you please tell me what is the "latest"? if it is 1.4 there isn't a single desktop GPU that "technically" supports it yet, even the GTX 1080 is only certified for 1.2 (and in theory can support 1.3/1.4 but ink on the specs isn't dry yet and the certification process is well meh).
Thunderbolt 3 is the only current interface that is actually certified for DP1.3, it should probably support DP1.4 but the spec was only finalized in march this year so....

“Port Talbot [in Wales] is a steel town, where everything is covered with gray iron ore dust. Even the beach is completely littered with dust, its just black. The sun was setting, and it was quite beautiful. The contrast was extraordinary, I had this image of a guy sitting there on this dingy beach with a portable radio, tuning in these strange Latin escapist songs like ‘Brazil’. The music transported him somehow and made his world less gray.”

Not saying it's AstroTurf but rather than it contributes nothing of value to public discourse. There are no ideas, no facts, etc. – only hate.

(Again, to be clear, I'm also not saying that this is true of all right-wingers – it'd be a huge step up if, say, he'd used that money to promote libertarian ideals, given a podium to a theologian or nat-sec hawk, etc. so there'd be something to talk about and maybe learn from. This is just the intellectual equivalent of trying to live on a diet of cotton candy.)

AFAIK, white-box testing is simply when you can look at the source code (as opposed to black-box testing) for example a unit test is a type of white-box test.

What I was struggling to express is that in the mathematical notation, the operations are well defined (right?); in C that's not necessarily the case. So you could argue that if you were writing direct tests, you don't need to check all inputs, but testing edge-cases will do. And maybe that's true, but practically impossible for complex algos because how do you know which inputs cause edge case behaviour? So I was agreeing that this approach is probably better than having some fallible human write test cases :) (better = more thorough and reliable) And although you'd have to make sure the same fallible human hasn't put bugs in the mathematical spec, as you've said that's probably easier to check.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found part three about undefined behaviour. I had written: You seem to know loads about this, maybe you could say how undefined C behaviour is handled when comparing against a spec? Is e.g. shift-past-bitwidth simply forbidden? The only alternative I can think of is looking at the disassembly on a certain platform and checking those instructions, which sounds less than ideal.

FreeBSD land seem a lot more package centric after the introduction of pkgng (now just pkg) a few years ago. It's, in my experience, fast, simple and reliable. Not half-baked like the old package system. Even among those why build themselves it seem fairly commom to use poudriere (a jailed package builder system) and then just install packages from there.

> because it hurts one group (taxi drivers) a lot

That's true, but I think that's only part of the problem. I always interpreted it as a precedent to circumvent existing regulation* in a demand-constrained market.

The market for on-demand-personal-transport-by-car doesn't necessarily equate to taxi companies (it USED to be, pre-disruptive-tech) and in that way it's a competitive advantage to Uber, because it does not (or did not) need to conform to that regulatory context. Had Uber been a taxi startup that launched the app there would be no such problem, though it's unlikely they would have been successful. It's true that taxi companies might try to influence regulation to their benefit and perhaps the Uber model is simply more suited to today's world. But I think it's wrong to state that taxi drivers are simply some small minority trying to stifle innovation because it benefits them, there's more fundamental issues at work in this case. And as a somewhat ambiguous precedent you can see politicians flailing with the idea, not having a ready made response. Uber was not outlawed simply because of taxi drivers.

Not everyone will have the time or ability to understand the intricate details, but unless no-one has that time and ability, there is still a strong argument for keeping things transparent and, as a consequence, open to scrutiny by independent experts (and anyone else who will be affected by the deal and wishes to take an interest).

Exactly the same considerations apply when making laws without our own countries, yet most of us would probably consider having our representatives working entirely behind closed doors very suspicious and many of us think freedom of information laws are an essential part of our democratic processes.

It really is a problem when special interest group can force their way at the cost of the public just because they are louder and organized enough to take the matter to the streets

Arguably, this is Uber's business model. Circumventing the public by ignoring their laws (some terrible ones that prevent competition, but others that do things like ensure transportation access for disabled people), and then worming their way out of it by buying politicians, intimidating journalists, and with slick marketing campaigns.

On the balance, I find it hard to believe that a street protest is more threatening to the outcome of trade negotiations than the wealth, organization, and political influence of corporations seeking sweetheart deals.

If it's a small minority protesting, it won't change anything. If it's a mass demonstration, maybe there's a reason for it. Maybe the deal shouldn't be done.

It doesn't. GFS2 is a clustered filesystem, ZFS is not. GFS2 is for sharing a single filesystem between multiple nodes, with a distributed lock manager to avoid corruption. It's complex to fix when it breaks, generally fairly slow and very few people need it - for most users, NFS (especially v4 and up) is a better way of accomplishing the same end goal.
The macro question of how to (a) consistently support a high performance creative environment, and (b) objectively measure the performance of knowledge workers [0] must be the most significant challenge for leaders at all levels!

On performance measurement I agree - over time all managers build a nose for it with some heuristics - if it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck etc etc.

I suspect that with high performers "class is permanent, form is temporary" and this is why the challenge is how to create (hard) and then maintain (harder?) a creative culture. Personally, I increasingly put more focus on the way the individual interacts with the environment (and how the environment is configured for them) for enabling high performance.

What I get from your comment is that you're looking for people who are willing to be creative and challenge existing solutions which I agree are two hallmarks of challenger environments. I feel this is correct, but also have no proof.

I find the 'free X' stuff trivial (and possibly a signal of entitlement) but the underlying point is that touching anything that could negatively impact the creative culture should be done carefully and after a lot of thought. People always react with more anger to a minor thing being removed, than a major thing being added.

Ultimately, if 'free stuff' is a signal of an environment that values developers contributions less then there can be no surprise if developers leave when the environment becomes less focused on enabling them. I think the point you're getting at is that if the environment is less inclusive of inventing new things/trying new things then a person whose driven to try new things will inevitably move on to the next challenge. Again, I do sort of agree but have no proof - I probably feel that people tend to be more sticky due to human loyalty etc.

Moving on a bit from what you actually said ... I was picking at something I thought you implied which was the existence of the "10x performer" and them being able to pick and choose. This is something, I'm really cautious about. I feel like the narrative of the 10x risks becoming a really negative one where we're saying "there are rock stars that are 10x better who can pick and choose and float to whatever the best environment is". Even if this is true due to PR, I don't think this is objective reality. I see good people, and even great people, but team performance is far more valuable to me than individual performance and it's factors are complex. Even for personal performance individuals do wax and wane depending on the project/culture/situation and the idea of an order of magnitude of better performance(!) - I've yet to see it on a consistent basis ... except for me of course!

[0] This forum is highly focused on developers, but I see the same pattern across multiple groups, from UX/Design out to Finance/HR. We depend on individual and team contribution, but at best find some 'objective' measures for individual contribution and wholly flawed subjective ratings (ie likeability ratings) for team contribution.

You can certainly place your signature on a document but it means nothing because you can't execute.

But how is this any different from signing a deal that you've happily made in secret, only to find that the people you claimed to represent won't honour that deal because something in it was unacceptable to them and rejecting it in its entirety is the only possible action you've left them that doesn't accept the unacceptable element?

These are really bad arguments man. It's like you heard someone defend secrecy once, agreed with them, and are trying to repeat their arguments but in a very confused and unappealing way.

How can you possibly compare the outcome of 10 years of negotiations that get amended a little and then voted Y/N with "a basic prototype"?
Leaving packages at a fixed version and patching them is a terrible idea. This is a Linux mindset and while it was fun for a few years it does not scale and it is not sane. You're effectively forking the software by diverging from upstream and then you have the fun of creating new security vulnerabilities by incorrectly backporting fixes. Go look at the update history for Apache HTTPD on RHEL -- this has happened several times in the past.

That said, since FreeBSD 10.0 there is now a stable "quarterly" branch which is enabled by default. The goal is to relieve you from the rolling release trauma for 3 months at a time. You get security and bug fixes: if it's very trivial, it's a backported patch; if it's a minor update, we will not hesitate to do that instead; if it's a major update and we don't trust backporting the fix, we push that update. The goal is to prevent major changes that could break compatibility or default behavior when possible, but that's not always achievable.

Anyway, it works pretty well. We will continue to strive to be better, but it's very usable. We heavily rely on the community for feedback and notification if something has been overlooked. Please try it out and let us know if you have any problems.

The issue as I perceive it (because this may have to do with perception of "elites" and the forms of democracy one ascribes to), is that a global deal of this magnitude should be made public and subject to popular democratic influence, simply because it influences so many people. And apparently they were really trying to keep it all hush hush to avoid exactly those kinds of protest. When the news found a way out, the opposition groups pretty much did the publicity campaign for them, of course in a negative way. But would that publicity campaign have started if it had not not leaked? I'm inclined to think that it wouldn't have, because I think economic self-interest and geopolitics are just much more valued than "public rights" by the parties involved, and in that way it's "undemocratic".
