It depends on what you mean; the PowerPC 970 (G5) did not support little endian mode at all. Earlier PowerPC devices (dating back to the PowerPC 601 IIRC) do in fact support runtime switching of endianness, although they were all 32-bit. PowerPC 64 LE is only supported on POWER8 (and apparently, per other commenters, requires hardware support although as a Mac developer I stopped paying attention after the 970 for some reason :)

I think it's probably fair to say all the Apple devices that shipped were big endian as the OS and firmware were, and while in theory the 32-bit machines could operate in little-endian mode I don't know of any distributions that actually did so, and 970 didn't support it.
One of the main demos was for Photoshop which is not on the Mac App Store. I would be surprised.
I think it's more that they're counting on the consumers of their comments to forget that fact. I'm quite certain they all remember it.
Thanks. I didn't know Comma One also uses front facing radar. Do you happen to know what state of the art millimeter wave radars are capable of? I found some references from 2013 about Panasonic product with resolution of 20cm, but maybe there are better options now?
Very likely not all :) How do you figure out which of the nearly a million are the useful ones?

Is it very common to heat a house using electricity in Quebec?

Where I live, nobody would do that - due to cost. More popular solutions are natural gas or water heat pumps.

What counts as proof? Will a jury understand what doesn't count as proof? If a very official and nice looking prosecutor stands up and makes an argument that is slightly too complicated for the average juror to understand, claiming that Mr. Smith's "random" file is actually an encrypted information, is the Jury going to believe him?

It is not uncommon for juries to accept flimsy and circumstantial arguments no matter how hard the defense tries to explain that the Prosecutor is spewing nonsense. The scenario the author lays out is not certain, but it is plausible.
Read Wikileaks on this. The emails are DKIM validated, so the charges of modification are bogus (and I think they stopped floating that one).

Yes, it's hard to put it all into context, but there are several emails that give debate questions before the debates.

You're right that there was no good reason to cheat, but I've read the emails myself long before this article and they're damning on that point.
The Prius can dump the energy into turning the engine over, just as a regular ICE would.

You can hear this by starting at the top of a hill with a full battery and in `D` mode. Then, as you roll down it, you can hear a noise from the engine as it is being turned over as it uses the regen energy.

Yeah, I went ahead and installed the driver manually (sans GeForce Experience). I can always update manually when needed (if/when a new game is wonky).

Screw having to create unnecessary accounts (or signing into services I don't absolutely need).
Wait, they're voting for Trump to spite moral elitists, not because Trump will make america great again? That's their whole motivation - not trade deficit, not immigration, not the economy, not jobs -- but to vote against moral-elitist people like GP? Holy shit, that absolutely crushes the credibility of Trump and all of his supporters. Wow.
"They concluded that the server was set to accept only incoming communication from a very small handful of IP addresses."

If it is true that there was not just communication but also ip address filters that protected this communication it would be an indicator for a ongoing and deliberate business relationship.
It's nice to see some momentum building behind the idea that multi-tenant SaaS doesn't have to be your only deployment. And congrats to the Replicated folks on the recent raise. It's great to see people validating these ideas/offerings. Based on mainstream tech press, you sometimes feel crazy working on something perceived as "anti-cloud".

What I Learned from Failure: 7 Lessons I Learned as an Edtech Startup CEO
This is just asking people to spam their users. If someone lives in a truly democratic nation then they have the right to choose not vote, yes it surely would be nice to have everyone make a valid vote. Sometimes you just do not want to vote because you have to choose between two horrible choices and it doesn't matter at the end of the day because you seriously do not agree with either of the two choices.

Southpark did an amazing episode on this exact issue once. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douche_and_Turd )
Interesting, I've noticed my 2008 model Prius effectively using 'B' mode when the battery is full and I'm heading down a hill even thought it is in 'D' mode.

Maybe I just haven't noticed the change in brake feel or it is a UK specific feature.

"For instance, if you have ever, at any time, become a friend of an author on Facebook or Goodreads, your honest review will be expunged."

That sounds pretty strange and extreme. So Amazon is checking up on who's friends with who on Facebook?

There are so many 1-star reviews which are obvious that the reader did not read the book; I do not get why they cannot remove those. It's not just people promoting one book, they also have many cases where someone sabotages a book.

In one case I saw a programming book had a first review which was 1-star that said: "code examples didn't work". I still purchased he the book, and it was an awesome book with no errors that I found over 500 pages. I am sure that review killed the author's sales though as his book is rated 4-stars currently... three 5-star reviews, and one 1-star review.
This is a Python flask app for creating a online scoreboard and sharing it with friends.

I mean, it sounds like his objection is that an operating system that doesn't have POSIX compatibility is dismissed out of hand.

If we think of POSIX compatibility as something which is required in order for an operating system to be viable at any level, it means that there's a lot of energy in pioneering a new OS devoted to building up this compatibility simply so it can get some exposure.

If we really want to encourage a fresh approach and disseminate new ideas, we need to move away from criterion like this and look more specifically at the principles and work being put forth and whether or not those are objectively successful or have merit. That's a much better way to move forward.

EDIT: cameldrv pointed out in a reply to my original comment that Comma One uses its cameras and also taps into the vehicle's existing front facing radar.

I was thinking of something like Quanergy's solid state LiDAR. I know the planned $100 version is probably a few years out, but it seems promising. And there are other companies/institutions working on cheap LiDARs that work in bad weather.

Following link is of a talk Quanergy CEO gave at Stanford.

GP gave a couple of easy ones for you: climate change and vaccinations. Is he lying/exaggerating (not sure how you can exaggerate an absolute non-issue like vaccinations) about those things or is he severely dangerous?
I don't, but even then you would need to: have kids/pets and work the majority of the day around them while not at a fixed desk. If you work from a fixed desk, the cable is much more likely to be in a location where it won't be pulled. If you charge all day, and only use it intermittently from a sofa, you don't need the cable.

That's a market that exists, sure. Is it a big market? I doubt it.
Unread and uncited are very different things. It appears that the 50% number is some sort of arbitrary (short?) time scale "has it been cited yet" metric. Citing something is much harder than reading; you need to do some research, write it up and go through the publishing process. If 200 people read a paper but not cite it, is it a failure?

> ...unfortunately our domain for whatever reason wasn't deemed beyond reproach by gmail et al. ... aside from those that got blocked some just disappeared into a void after being accepted by gmail...

This is why I have started to really loathe GMail. I get that spam is a problem but, periodically, Google decides to shit-can e-mails from me to their subscribers with no notification to me or the recipient. I know for an absolute fact that no one sends spam from my server because I'm the only person who uses that server and it has no mail-sending scripts on it. My DKIM and SPF records are configured and working, my sending IPs have been consistent for years, and my domain's registration predates the existence of Google[0]. But still, every 4 months or so, Google decides to get its hackles up for a few days and then everything goes back to normal.

0 - This is maybe one reason that compounds my frustration because I've been on the Internet long enough to remember when this wasn't a problem and when mail admins could talk to each other to resolve things like this.
We think it's really important that everyone votes and expresses the direction in which they want the country to go. So yes, we hope all companies share our tools with their users.

Gyver: A command line interface for people who need inspiration
It's a little deceptive to label these kinds of sentiments as contrary to the premise of innovation.

Experiments, by nature, require expendable resources, but an finished appliance intended for a consumer, with no end-user-servicable internals is not the sort of thing you want to have spewing garbage in all directions.

The reality though, is that we're all being railroaded down strict paths of planned obsolesence that are integrated into business models from day one.

Yours and my waste should not be interpretted as an unforced error. It's carefully planned, with the intent to fund more plannings sessions to forecast more waste.

...at least down among these lower eschelons we inhabit (speaking for myself, so as not to make assumptions about who reads this), and then there are those who ride above it all and skim from the fruits of our obesity.
What is the difference between a rule and a guideline?
What about only explicitly allowing domains that have DKIM enabled?

Having that form of validation should help since DKIM was made to specifically stop email spoofing; and anyone serious about implementing Portier would understand that need.

Outlook/Gmail etc aren't likely to be flagged by ESP's for the most part as those have reputation and rudimentary spoofing protection, at least more than a@a.com anyway.

Persons using custom domains are usually the admins of those domains, and Office 365/GApps/Registrars etc. provide simple ways to enable DKIM.
How do you take notes on a sentence?
Seems to me like POSIX compatibility is actually a cheap pass that gives you access to a huge software environment. Right on the homepage they mention already having packages for Python, Ruby, Git, Lua, and Node... would that, and thousands of other packages, be feasible without a workable POSIX layer?
This looks like the NT kernel coding style, especially with the pointless typedefs for things like PVOID and the PascalCased function names with prefixes like `IopPerformIoOperation`. I looked up the Minoca founders on Linked In and, behold, they both worked as engineers on the Windows NT team. :)
How does one size a market? I've always been curious about this. Where do you go looking for the data? Are there any biz-dev people that could point me towards some introductory material?
There will always be the S-expression format at least.

So what's the modern academic clickbait? I've only read the greatest hits like Part time Parliament or Goto Considered Harmful. But those were really successful.

Is there something widely read that is not particularly insightful?

Is there a buzzfeed of journals?

Not trying to sleight an author, just curious what attention culture looks like in academics. Perhaps it doesn't exist, or it's driven by author reputation or some other effect.
I believe the biggest issue right now with internal DC wiring is you need much higher gauge wire, which translates to more expensive cabling throughout the house. You also still need a way to step the voltage for each device, so it's not clear what the savings are. It may be beneficial for lights where a clear standard for voltage can be determined, but everything else will still have it's own requirements.
"I can't understand how he can support him" doesn't literally mean "I do not perceive the facts", it is "I find it incredible that he holds weights on various factors such that he made a list of pros and cons, calculated the net value based on the factors' weights, and came to the conclusion that supporting Trump is net good in this situation".

For example if someone's weights are:

disruptor, 100

shows signs of insanity, 0.1

then I can "understand" that they support DT. I can't understand why they choose to weigh certain factors like that.
Oh yeah, it'd be quite some work, especially if small isn't small. But I think at the moment, neither OpenStreetView nor Mapillary can be relied on for coverage, so the shortcut of using images gathered by others isn't widely available.
I agree with you, I'm just pointing out that we're already in the age of profitable, harmful bullshit.

> The underlying problem that the parent post was trying to point out is that the programs we run today largely do pretty much the same things that they did 10 years ago, but for some reason they require vastly more powerful hardware, with questionable gains.

Oh God, not this story again.

I'll tell you what I told my uncle complaining his 200Mhz Pentium MMX with 64MB of ram, running Windows 2000 was slow when going on Facebook.

Yes, we do (pretty much) the same things we used to do ten years ago (this is a lie, actually). What has changed is the volume of data that we generate, send, receive and have to store and process.

The first digital camera I got for Christmas maybe 14 years ago took some nice photos. At high resolution, a photo would take 80 to 100 kb of storage. No metadata. And you could have up to 20 photo in high resolution. It was a kind of a "toy" camera, but still.. Nowadays kids with digital cameras can take photos that take 7-9 megabytes per photo.

Your mail client does not send your username and password as cleartext anymore. Everything is encrypted.

Your www browser does not send your forms (and your passwords too) as cleartext anymore. Everything is encrypted.

Ten years there were no videos on facebook, no realtime chat, no realtime video streaming. There was no Dropbox, and most webmails used to allow up to 100MB of storage.

Data grows, and this is why the industry puts out faster computers every year. And this is why computers become "old" and "slow".

Get over it.

============================

Now, we could ask ourselves, why do many websites have to be so fat? I would really love to see websites supporting an "ultralight" version.

Just like HN: the source is all tables, td and tr but... It renders well on mobile and works awesomely fast on a ten years old laptop (and I tried).
It looks a bit like impact mapping. One of the techniques I learned from that is to say the opposite of your intuition, and then try to prove it wrong. Obviously, it doesn't prove that your original intuition was right, but it's a useful exercise in critical thought.

For example:

* We'll get more signups by making this button bigger

* Opposite - we'll get more signups by making it smaller

* That's not true because fewer people will see it. But will they? What's if it's just a bit smaller? What if it's a different colour or in a different place or has more whitespace around it?

The 'obvious' original intuition starts to look less obvious.
> Just pause the VM with the browser in it -> 0 % CPU, but can still read what's on the display.

On a related note, how is "halt all execution and scheduled future execution of scripts in the current tab" not a solved problem for mainstream browsers? Or maybe it is and somehow I missed it?

I think you're going to need a lot more evidence to essentially make the claim that bean-counters have taken over Apple.

Clearly many of these decisions have been popular. I'd even wager that this an unprofitable decision for them, in the short term. This might sound counter to my original assertion that they're sabotaging billions of iPhone revenues for millions of accessory revenues, but it isn't.

There's a third thing they're optimizing for, and I think they're willing to sacrifice both of those revenues for it. USB-C is the "right" thing forward. Bluetooth is the "right" thing forward. They're trying to push the industry towards these things (whether or not it's a good idea is something you can agree or disagree with), and they're willing to sacrifice earnings if they believe make that future come sooner.

Happened with floppy drives, happened with CD drives, and it's happening now with USB-C and the removal of the audio jack. For better or worse, the bean-counters have never been in charge at Apple, and that's been one of their greatest long-term strengths.

Both are valid points. And, I make fun of DJs who play the same set over and over, night after night. I don't understand why any DJ would subject themselves to that kind of tedium; but let's be honest: the majority of DJs are not musicians, and their interest in music is not deep or wide. And, being repetitive is not a negative in the mainstream DJ market.

Regardless of my preference for variety, the people hiring DJs generally don't care about that metric. My favorite DJs in the market where I've worked were playing really obscure stuff for their whole set...but weren't making a lot of money doing it. But, it was clear that they loved the genres and artists they were playing.
