Our Universe: It’s the ‘Simplest’ Thing We Know
Intel platforms also had an ARC processor (they approximately cater the same markets as ARM minus mobile) for years in the ME.

AMD does the same thing with an ARM core.

Practically all peripherals contain at least one programmable processor.

Remote management / IPMI also usually works with an entirely separate ARM computer that's integrated with the main computers graphics unit -- basically a shared framebuffer, just in hardware.

>ESPN has been increasingly pushing a progressive narrative on its viewers,

This is certainly the narrative I've heard Limbaugh advance of late, but this[0] NPR post has stats that my offer another explanation:

"The Wall Street Journal reports the prime-time audience of adults under 50 for the top four broadcast networks, which schedule dramas, comedies, and so-called reality shows in that slot, is down 9.2 percent from last year's fall TV season."

"But the cable news networks...up 39 percent in a three-week span this fall from the same time period during the last presidential election."

"Movie attendance since Labor Day is down 16 percent"

Bundles are often great deals for consumers. The TV bundle is the result of decades of scale, iteration, and the free market.

TV has a lot of weaknesses, but I don't think its bundle economics are one of them.

The most successful alternatives to TV are also bundles, and the bundling is a critical part of their success. Imagine instead of paying $10/month for Netflix, you had to pay for each show a la carte (like iTunes). That would be worse for consumers - and creators.

In a way Big-O notation intentionally glosses over these differences. At a large scale 5 vs 20 per instance of n doesn't matter. It might matter for practical purposes but Big-O really is about making broad distinctions.

Editing, bundling and distribution adds value. But only so much value. Information flows these days more freely and on-demand. Quasi synchronous distribution of news has moved to social media. Like newspapers and telco's already cable companies are struggling to demonstrate they are adding value. It did not matter so much in the past but now more importantly they are loosing the eyeballs gatekeeper (and thus pricing power) position.

Sports funding is heading towards a brick wall unless it finds other revenue streams. Which is in part possible as they have unique advertisement bearers. But as the bundling is not as big the pricing power of individual athletes and teams probably will be less as an aggregate.
I don't work as a cartographer but I studied geography for a Bachelor's and Master's. That being said, my knowledge has atrophied a lot.

I was exposed to hundreds of map projections in school, so I'm still kind of trying to figure out what the novelty is here. It just looks like a Japan-centrerd equal-area projection. The tetrahedron is kind of neat. Projections are generally planar, cylindrical, or conical. By using a mosaic of planes, I imagine the formula for this projection would be unbelievably complex, making it much less general purpose.

When you want to represent a spheroid on a 2d surface, you have to distort one or more of shape, area, direction, distance. The objective when selecting a projection is to understand the intended purpose and audience.

If I had to make a guess, I'd say the relevance here is the exploration of what projections we most commonly use and if they're still the best choices for today's purposes and audiences.

I would love to see what Tissot's indicatrix looks like for this projection.
So, over the air?

A lovely poem about how our society separates technological production from the human culture that it supports. There's much here that one could already know without having really appreciated.

Not too long ago, I was talking with a bunch of friends when some random question about sugar production came up. We googled it, as one does, and while the answer was inconclusive the next half-hour turned into a bizarre sequence of revelations about just how complicated modern sugar production is. Look into it; its a slightly-smaller mirror of the oil industry, with its own industrial base and scientific expertise. I'm sure there are about ~100 people on the planet who know the key technical details, and if they're all caught in a fire somewhere, every cookie recipe that calls for regular white granulated sugar will suddenly be beyond human technological capacity.
So what are the answers then? Since when has blind trust been a good default? If they have the answers then let's see them. Until then all that we can do is speculate, and none of see good solutions here.

I would pick maven, and add the rest as dependencies inside the pom.xml file (the only configuration file I need to worry about). It would take me about 5 minutes and then I could import the project into IntelliJ IDEA and hack away. I can write a tutorial about it in a single blog post, together with the necessary commands to build, test and deploy the artifact.

With javascript, I need: webpack.conf, package.json, .babelrc and god knows what else. Seems like every piece of technology around javascript (transpilers, packers, dependency managers) requires another layer of configuration, another set of CLI commands, and another waste of time trying to figure out why it doesn't work.
Java is no less complex indeed. I'm just starting to use its ecosystem and I definitely think it has a lot of complexity.

But there are other tools that are much simpler. One example is the Dart programming language. I know it's not very popular here in HN land, but the experience is really really nice. You have a fast, powerful, concise, sane and optionally static typed language with awesome tooling (debugging, introspection, profiling, package management) and great support from Google. All this comes in a single easy to use installer. The only extra thing that you might need to download is a plugin for your favorite editor or IDE. Dart, of course, doesn't enjoy all the hype that the JS ecosystem has, but the barrier of entry is really low, and the tools are extremely polished, stable and very production ready. I recommend anyone who is not scared of leaving the hype train to give it a try.

I would pay ESPN $10 a month for an ESPN streaming app that had access to all the college football games (no blackouts), alone, as long as it didn't require a cable subscription. The current ESPN streaming app is garbage, compared to Netflix, and other on-demand interfaces. It's not available on my Smart TV. The quality of the streaming is terrible. It's slow to bring up video. The ads are repetitive and annoying, and it's a second class citizen with wait screens while local ads are up on broadcast.

Comcast recently decided to institute a 1TB/month cap in my area, with a charge of $10 per 50GB after up to $200, or $50 for unlimited (opt-in, by the sounds). There are no technical reasons why they did this, it was entirely to gain more revenue to make up for the cord cutters. Their own streaming service doesn't apply to their data cap.

The whole thing is garbage and needs to be completely changed. The moment Google Fiber or something better comes along in my area, I'm going internet only, and I'll just go without until they realize how badly they've managed to move with the trends and start fixing it.

> It seems like in the new USB-C world, I'd only have to connect one cable.

That's something I've never seen properly explained. Can you charge at 100W at the same time as using Thunderbolt 3 connectivity? It strikes me as unlikely since the power delivery and the signaling would have to share the same pins/wires.

Edit: I stand corrected after seeing that new LG monitor. Now I'm just curious how it works. Even PoE can't deliver 100w and Thunderbolt 3 uses much higher speeds while having to inject power.
There's the progressive narrative but there's also something even more insidious. Sports talk used to be about strategy and talent. Now it's about scandal, drama, and human interest.

Sorry, but, it doesn't tell you anything.

The world of computers is full of things to learn about, more than almost any one person could learn in a lifetime.

People usually learn about what interests them, or what they need to know. It's entirely possible to be an accomplished programmer and never really learn big-O notation just as some programmers never learn assembly or C.

Think about it differently, big-O wasn't widely discussed or well known until the 1970s, thanks to Donald Knuth who popularized it. Then consider that many programmers who learned programming may have done so before it was widely known and some may have learned programming from those same people.

Are those programmers from roughly 1980 and earlier any less a programmer because they weren't aware of or didn't use big-O notation? Of course not.

Is big-O notation something most programmers should consider learning? Yes. But we should not seek to exclude others from a profession simply because they don't meet arbitrary criteria we think is necessary when they are clearly already actively engaged in that profession.
Never trust just one side of a story. Never.
Nice cartoon
I side with the student. This is beyond a jerk move.

To be clear, the beyond a jerk move part is doing this in front of the class with such flimsy evidence. I have see this before. It happened to a black woman friend. In this case the professor's flimsy evidence was a shift in tone which happens in editing all the time.

That said, hence is an adverb and not a conjunction. Hence there is no comma after hence. BTW, this punctuation mistake argues strongly against plagiarism.
>> I don't think this is going to be as big a deal as people say.

I think it depends on the type of user you are. If you're a true "mobile user", it's probably not a big deal, because you put a value on mobility over other stuff.

If you treat your laptop as a "portable desktop", it can get annoying. The ability to not have dongles for everything is one less thing to think about. Yes, it's not the end of the world to have dongles, but if you're used to not needing dongles, being forced to use them is going to make you unhappy.
Based on the old wooden wagons I've seen, lathes played no part in their construction. The spokes on the wheels had been spokeshaved (gee, maybe that's the etymology of that tool's name?) rather than turned on a lathe. The wheels as a whole were pieced together by hand so they'd be round automatically (i.e. spokes and rim segments were all the same length, held together by an iron hoop that just took shape around them when cooled).

Sure this is just one example, but it is what comes to mind given TFA's subject matter. Without access to iron-working, I suppose a less durable rim material like e.g. hemp could be used, which would introduce some more complications involved in tightening. If solid rather than spoked wheels were acceptable, an out-of-round wheel on an axle can be marked with a piece of chalk-rock held in place while spinning the wheel, and then abrasive stones can be used to true the wheel to the chalk mark.

Facebook's new camera
Top example: Jessica Mendoza is beyond doubt the worst professional baseball announcer I've ever heard. Yet fans are forced to listen to her on every high-profile Sunday night game.

ESPN transparently wants to position themselves as "progressive" and "history-making" by placing a female in a traditionally male role, at the expense of product.

I can go on about why I find her style of commentary so grating, but suffice it to say I've switched to listening to radio for Sunday night games.

Only if it detects it uses a 60W cable. Which I really doubt.

You can pump 100 watts through a 60W rated cable - it will probably work because the rule is "users are dumbasses, rate it for 60 on paper and 120 in reality".

Or it could heat up, maybe to the point of damage.

Actually, that UI is pretty much exactly what I had in mind. All devices that control their own charging should have that "trip" switch. It's a shame that Android does not have an API to customize charge depth like that. I occasionally spend some idle thought on wondering how difficult it would be to overcome this limitation with a bluetooth-controlled charger. Well, I'm not an electrical engineer and "bringing the joys of self-asphyxiation to your phone" maybe would not be the most successful kickstarter ever either.
Why not both? It is trivial to make a circuit such that the LED is on if either there is power to the camera, or the software tells you to.

My wife and I "cut the cord" as it were this year, now with OTA TV and a Netflix and Amazon prime account. OTA reliably gets you local and national news, Netflix and Amazon between them reliably get you movies and recent television shows. And of course with Amazon you can rent/buy stuff.

What you don't get are sports. You find that more and more those sports have become the single reason you might want to buy a cable/satellite subscription.

I welcome their final capitulation to the point where I can subscribe to just my teams and not suffer blackout rules in my home market.
I don't think that's a fair comment. Sometimes you just want sports, and it's fair to compartmentalize concerns.

You can buy a single ~$80 hub that gives you all of those ports, AND you only need to plug 1 cable into your computer when you sit down at your desk. If you buy a new USB-C monitor, then all of those things are integrated in the display. Even the charger.

It has more IO throughput than pretty much any laptop out there with multiple Thunderbolt ports at 40Gbps. Even most desktops don't have _multiple_ 40G ports.
