Will this phone be discontinued and unsupported after two years like other Google phones though? I've owned a Nexus 4, a Nexus 5 and now a 5X, I think they're very good phones, but the fact that the Nexus 5 I bought 2 years ago won't ever see the light of Nougat is extremely annoying. I wish Google at least pretended to care about their older lines of phones (which are not cheap phones either, the Nexus 5 cost me about 500 euros when I bought it).

As if it were yesterday. Late 89 or early 90, I was learning my first programming language properly (after Logo, BASIC and other stuff). It was C. Common wisdom was that C was bloat and you'd do everything in assembly anyways. I stuck to it (did asm as well). Then, a few years later everything changed with real bloat that was C++ of ye olde and C was back in full force and never quit being there. I've dabbled with C++ before STL craze and never went into it as some of my friends did, but it wasn't quite different. Just a different mental model that it evangelised. These days, I can't even tell what's going on when looking at modern C++. I'm not sure I even want to. C just works for me, and has for a long time.

I've worked in numerous languages and platforms, even changed careers from programming (graphics) to film and television. But I'll always be a C programmer.
Apple has clearly lost its prior decisive lead in camera quality. I wonder how and why, and what apples comment on these results would be.

On paper, the google pixel should have inferior results, given its slower lens (f2.0 vs f1.8 on the iPhone and f1.7 on the s7). Yet they apparently are superior.

All modern high end smartphone cameras use the same sensors (Sony) with different lenses. Did google achieve this through better software? Or better hardware? Hardware seems unlikely given that both Samsung and Apple likely have much larger budgets and a longer knowledge history.

I just ordered an iPhone 7 plus because of the camera, and this is clearly making me question whether this was the right choice.

Thats the entire point he is making. Blackmail and other forms of influence and control are their modus operandi, they used knowledge of his illegality (which they had most likely got unconstitutionally) to try to bend him their way, and the prosecution was vengeance for defiance.

It is an interesting thought. I think it's hard for me to imagine the benefits of moving on from XML overcoming the pain of supporting both formats for literally everyone involved (producers and apps), and RSS is, despite its shortcomings, quite mature. If you are proposing hanging additional data off of RSS with a link but continuing to fetch the RSS for basic episode data, I think it is self evident why that is fraught. And if you are suggesting having an alternative representation, I guess I worry about reliving the pain of the early days, with lots of format fighting and incomplete / incorrect implementations.

How do you see this working?

In the particular case of MailChimp, their main competitor (AFAIK), Campaign Monitor, decided to raise VC funding after about a decade of slow grind a la MailChimp.

They hired a CEO with experience in 5 other VC funded startups (and with burning cash) and moved into the most amazing penthouse, the last two floors of a giant tower in the heart of Sydney with a 360 degree view on the harbour and ocean and city, and a great kitchen with full time chefs, and of course a marble-covered lift lobby.

In other words we have an A/B test.

Computing for Creative Practice (CMU 15-104, Fall 2016)
Interestingly in the marketing space (in particular, email-based marketing), all the tools I gravitate towards have been bootstrapped rather than funded:

Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Drip (altho lead pages bought it, and is actively funding it's growth), curated.co (I'm not 100% sure on Curated - is that funded?), Edgar

These types of apps can actively and easily translate into $$ for businesses, so it's no wonder they can bootstrap rather than take on funds - individuals and businesses are willing to pay to make money!
I don't think it matters as much as you suspect that one company is bootstrapped and the other is VC-funded. I'm sure you can find dozens of examples of VC-funded companies being floored by other VC-funded companies.
The way I read this story the NSA is really not rifling through ordinary people's email. They are specifically looking for a certain string. It is highly unlikely that ordinary people's emails contain this string.

A story like https://www.wired.com/2010/05/kuok/ is a relevant case here.

> Using a Yahoo e-mail address and a different name, Kuok also allegedly contacted an Arizona company this year that had posted on eBay a KG-175 TACLANE — an NSA designed encryption device used to communicate with classified military computer networks, such as the Defense Department’s SIPRNet.

> Kuok repeatedly expressed fears that he might be dealing with an NSA, CIA or FBI agent, but continued to negotiate with the undercover officer, even cautioning him to avoid referencing the items by model number in e-mail, because “your country has this system to analyze” e-mail for keywords.

What if the string was something like "KG-175 TACLANE"? How many ordinary people would have this string in an e-mail? What is wrong with getting a warrant to read through e-mails containing such a string?

This news is definitely news to me. It is just not shocking or unexpected or contrary to what Barack Obama has been saying.
This sentiment makes no sense.
Recently read an article on Japan's housing market. While land is very precious over there living space (on a much smaller footprint than in the US of course) has remained affordable in Tokyo. The author pointed to the very high flexibility of land use in Japan allowing land rights and property to more flexibly serve demand from the commercial and residential sides.

Over the past two decades from what I observed the office space available to software developers has decreased. Single offices and generous cubicles have been replaced by denser setups. Full time staff has been complemented by contracted staff often working in much more cramped conditions. Some have not a fixed desk and in part working from home offices not alone to save commute time.

On the wholesale side margins are getting compressed as differentiates are missing and wholesale distributors like Amazon or directly distributed branded products are eating away their share and need a lot less prime real estate.

There may be local markets where commercial real estate is tight. But secular trends are not looking good.
It's not just that. Building rail in the US is insanely expensive.

It isn't clear to me what an "atomic" snapshot of processes would even be in a multicore world, though. Even if process creation and destruction is strictly linearizable in how the kernel handles it, which I do not assert to be true, there is certainly a lot of other stuff in that snapshot which is not. And without that, there isn't anything like an "atomic" snapshot that makes sense to me.

(Even in a single core world I suspect you'd hit a lot of resistance in any method you could use to take an atomic state, for performance reasons. Even just telling the kernel to "stop doing everything else and give me a copy of all this information" is not going to go over well.)
It always helps to do all this AND have amazing market timing.

So here's how I'm imagining the current solution, as implemented at the bank I worked at. Remember first off, there is no route to the Internet from workstations. Everything goes through a regular old HTTP proxy running on a server that accesses both the intra and Inter nets. You send it the host you want ("GET https://example.com/"), it fetches it and returns the HTML. It is nothing more complicated than:

socat tcp-listen:8080,reuseaddr,fork 'system:curl $(grep -m 1 GET | cut -d " " -f 2)'

I like it.

All the nice optimizations that you only can do if you know what's happening in the background.

I read post about how Bluebird Promise implementation is more efficient than others and it was basically stuff like storing state as binary flags instead of boolean vars etc. pp.
I also own a 5S. While I can't say it's as fast as the day I bought it (I got it second-hand with iOS 9 loaded), it's certainly faster than the 3GS it replaced! The 3GS in turn, was a replacement for my Motorola Milestone (Droid in the US) which, despite being released the same year, received a grand total of one major OS updates and then was dropped.

I'm not sure what point you're making. You don't export those types or features in your library's API. Here's some discussion of type compatibility between C\C++ and Pascal:

http://www.rvelthuis.de/articles/articles-convert.html
You get used to anything. I find that example no better.

And remember declarations can be arbitrarily complex. How do you declare a pointer to arrays of pointers to pointers to arrays? In free prose.
Yes, you are right, void * is an exception. However, any other pointer cannot be reliably casted:

From C1X, section 6.3.2.3:

"A pointer to an object type may be converted to a pointer to a different object type. If the
resulting pointer is not correctly aligned for the referenced type, the behavior is
undefined."

Though that is quite odd, since any pointer can be converted to void* , which only needs alignment to the char type. So converting from x* -> y* is undefined, but x* -> void* -> y* is defined.
I can't agree with all phones being close in quality at all. Even some high level flagship devices have notably deficient cameras compared to the top of the list. Once you get into the sub $300 Android range, you can get wildly different results. Even the Nexus range had common camera complaints through 6.

Based on what we're seeing here, there might be a viable competitor to the iPhone in this space, but that hasn't really been the case until now.

Maybe general consumer opinion is that it doesn't suck as much as Windows 8. I was only considering what I've heard for people in IT. I make a living working on the MS stack and I agree it's a pleasant platform for development, but only for the MS stack. It's inferior for development of just about everything else. I now run Windows in a VM, I don't want it anywhere near my personal things. It's not specifically the telemetry that's so appalling, I expect typical software companies to include it, and I can even forgive it being on by default. It's the fact that users are _not allowed_ to, along with a huge selection of other "features", disable or remove it. Windows is becoming more like iOS, not less, it will eventually leave you just as powerless if it hasn't already.
Ah, so finally someone else has caught on to the "Implements of Maths Instruction" joke we had back in 1999.
I just Google Hanged-out (Hungout?) with my mother on the N7 I bought for her a few Christmas' ago and it worked just fine (AFAIK there has been no firmware releases or upgrades that 'brick'ed it - but try this https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus7/comments/2egszj/2012_is_it_d... ). I'd be curious to know what version upgrade bricked you though.

My Nexus 4 is still my favorite form-factor/experience out-of-the-box for my "I just need quick access to my email and sometimes a camera-phone/video" purposes. It was exactly what I wanted in a phone - $200 - no contract, minimalist, no junkware, hackable out of the box, large enough to one-hand for my average male 5'10 hands, decent battery life.

Granted I actively try to stay away from technology when I'm not working - i.e. I mostly use it as an equivalent for a doctors' pager in case anything catastrophic happens. It's mostly used for GPS (which is pretty phenomenal), to listen to music, and track my speeds/path when I run, etc) so I'm certainly not the power-user who needs 16gb of RAM to support 100 active Safari tabs.

When this breaks, I'm going to upgrade just out of necessity at some point at which point, assuming this isn't cluttered with junkware it's one of the few phones I'm entertaining (since there's no real viable 'open' phone on the market right now, as far as I can tell). The alternatives I'm considering is going for one of those Asian vendors (Lenovo, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Huawei). My Euro and Asian friends say they're all are putting out quality (e.g. Samsung level) stuff with no contract lock-in .
> Apple has clearly lost its prior decisive lead

You can't make that claim, yet. Reviews are subjective and it's possible other reviewers may have different opinions on photo quality. Additionally, DXOMark still haven't reviewed the iPhone 7 plus.

In any case, 2x optical zoom and iOS 10.1's portrait mode make the iPhone 7 plus a far more versatile option.
I've been really surprised how well my iPhone 4S held up. It's a losing battle against software that expects ever more resources, but it still does the things.

While I can't speak to their cycles, is it really fair to call the Nexus line 'Google phones?'

It seems possible they'd be more likely to extend support lifetime to this rather than branded partner phones.
I have the same to say even for the iPhone 5, which I'd been using for several years and was recently a delight to use with iOS10.

I actually just bought myself an iPhone 5s to replace it because the iPhone 5's battery life finally became unusably short after many years, but I didn't want a big phone to replace it. My 5s is also performing very well with iOS10.

My 5s is a second-hand refurb, markedly cheaper than the SE, which I was reluctant to buy after several of my acquaintances complained of the device expiring days after purchase.

My comparably old Android phone won't even allow a software update and is still on Android 4. My partner prefers Android and has a Moto G (and has a tendency to drop phones hence why I suggested something cheap to replace) and it also won't update to the latest Android version.

So while the Pixel might be the shiniest, I would be reluctant to invest in something which will not have the effective lifespan of an iPhone.

I really wish Google would make a great Android phone so I could have better integration with my Chromebook and G-Suite. Android phones can be used to unlock Chromebooks in lieu of password entry, which would be a cool feature. I use G-Suite for my business so it would be better for that too. I've never owned a Mac computer and I've little loyalty to any company. The iPhone 5s was simply the apex in terms of phone-to-pocket-size/toughness/tactility/features (for me personally).

That's not correct in general; casting pointers is possibly undefined. However, it does seem a made a mistake trying to use void * as an example.

Sounds reasonable. We might be talking about a modder or someone in other ways deeply invested in the community who is given pocket change each month as some kind of hobby stipend. Which is perfectly all right precisely up to the moment where anyone involved starts to think of it as a full time gig, maybe a career even.

The failure on the side of squad then isn't so much in not paying them more (although that would certainly be one way to solve it), it's in not realizing that there can't be a middle ground.

What I don't get at all, no matter how you spin the story, is how anybody could be forced to overtime etc on pocket change. Sure, that stuff happens millions of times each day, but it would typically involve people at the brink of starvation in an isolated mining town or so. Remote tech workers with enough leisure time to fall deep into the rabbit hole of gaming don't quite fit that pattern.
Based on what I learned a few months ago trying to deal with all these problems, the conclusion I've come to is that basically the entire "standard" set of POSIX calls are wrong. Correct handling requires an entire parallel set of calls like "openat". However, this parallel set of calls postdates the more conventional calls by a couple of decades and in some cases we found may still not yet be entirely complete. (I'd guess they probably are by now, we were a couple of versions back on the kernel.)

The problem is that those old calls have immense, immense inertia. They are how people think of files. They are how almost all, if not actually all, higher level languages interact with files by default, saving the "correct" calls for external modules, if you even get that. In fact, many higher-level languages are actively inimical to correct file handling by trying to abstract away the "file handle" so you only have to deal with file names, but for correct handling you really need to consider the file handle the real file and the file name merely a transient method for obtaining a file handle, which is to be never used again once you have the handle.

Bear in mind the "crappy" API in question is probably older than you are, so it's not really that surprising that it has needed some work as our world has changed.
