Women had other great fears. 64M women died in childbirth in the 20th century, comparable to the number of male soldiers who died.

And don't underestimate the horrors that women experienced in war-torn countries.

There is also something about the extreme emphasis on 'this is not your word'. Much like the public shaming, it suggests the professor is not just displeased, but viscerally outraged.

You might be right. She may have used hence in the conjunctive adverb sense.

Having looked it up a bit, it still goes both ways. The argument against the comma is that if hence is a transitional word then you would omit the comma. If you feel the need for a pause then you would insert it.

So it's a fielder's choice and not a mistake.
No, it's really not. Especially in big football-watching markets.
Enjoyable read, it points at the veneer we've placed over our industrialized world and calls it dishonest. Ironically I think if you were to heed its argument and work counter to the Hamiltonian forces it would be futile. Imagine if you did not like our institutionalized tech world of cookies and data centers knowing all that we do on our devices and you were to support and use FOSS; or that you did not like that cow and horse meat is mixed together in our industrialized agricultural system and you became vegan. Ironically such steps would label you an idealist who is out of touch with reality and you would sink deeper into the Jeffersonian interfaces such as raspberry pis and organic farmers markets. Perhaps the only logical thing to do is be the hipsters who embraces the illusion with just a hint of irony.

I didn't know the OPs post was tongue and cheek. Sometimes it hard to tell : )

Sure "O" goes back to mathematicians in the late 19th century. What I meant was that Knuth introduced Big O(mnicron) in the context of "Computer Science" literature.

This is the source I am referring to from 1976 SIGACT News:

http://www.phil.uu.nl/datastructuren/09-10/knuth_big_omicron...

On page 21 or page 4 of the PDF:

"I would like to close this letter by discussing a competing way to denote the order of function growth. My library research turned up the surprising fact that this alternative approach actually antedates the O-notation itself. "

On page 22 or page 5 of the PDF:

"The main reason why 0 is so handy is that we can use it right in the middle of formulas (and in the middle of English sentences and in tables which show the running times for a family of related algorithms etc.)."

Sure it's not accurate, and sure you may not be right with every call (hasn't happened to me yet but other TAs have called people out and have turned out to be wrong), but it's something that I'd call a "clue" that something is different.

Well, the RMAs were for major issues, and MS had a new device in my hand within 48 hours.
But day to day, the Surface has simply done everything I want my computer to do, requiring little to no effort on my part to keep it performing excellently. I will say that Windows 8 was pretty bad, but I got into 10 early, and it's been smooth sailing since then.
In contrast, recent Macs I've used and older Windows machines would hit glitches regularly, where some aspect would stop working, or some mysterious set of conditions would cause a crash.
The Surface Pro 3 has been a machine I can carry everywhere and do practically anything with (coding, project management, media, light gaming).
Fan is a little louder than I would like, and battery life wasn't superb to start, and has gotten worse.
No matter the context in which the professor came to the conclusion of plagiarism, the public shaming remains a terrible thing.

Pretty much no market in existence is completely "free," but this is a pretty limited view of things.

Is there nothing free about the market for software because only Adobe can sell Photoshop? Presumably then there are also no free markets for, well, any type of cultural product. In a sense that's true and Disney is the only game in town for Rogue One, but I'm not sure it's a terribly useful analytical framework.

"Monopolies are not free markets" is also an interesting claim on its own.

It's a sport tailor made for TV. Watch the action, then rewatch it from a variety of angles and with analysis. The stopping is actually good for the game, since TV allows you to revisit the play over and over again. If that's not your thing, I get it, but if it is, they keep you plenty engaged.

A comment on the PSD format
I was in shenzhen a couple of days ago, and faced with the prospect of having different types of USB-C cables, I bought one of each standard (thunderbolt, USB3.0 and 3.1).

I now have a problem because I don't remember which colour is which. Is there a way to find out without having to break the nicely braided cables?
I like it too. People vastly over-estimate the complexity of these tools.

As a freelancer, I start a new project every other week or so. It's really not hard to get up and running with these tools. They're also incrementally adoptable: since most of them are loosely coupled, you can get started with a new one without rewriting your whole stack (for example, I first used React with Gulp+Browserify, not I've switched to Webpack).
End of the line for MacBook Pro
For nearly ten years, my entire computing environment has been a MBP with a Linux VM. OSX was an excellent end user (non dev) environment (music, photos, video), Linux is my preferred dev environment, and VMWare simplified wireless networking compared to some Linux/raw metal systems.

Then, over ten years, OSX has steadily degraded. Some of the UI decisions were just terrible, e.g. the skeuomorphic Calendar app (RIP). iTunes has long been a mess. iPhoto and Photos have been completely inscrutable to me for a long time.

By adding the cloud to things, Apple tried to maintain the fiction that your content is seamlessly anywhere you need it, while safe in the cloud. But there are at least two ids to deal with (I think? Apple ID and something else?). Consuming content on my phone chews up the data permitted by my phone plan. What I would prefer is to manage file locations manually. But the design of the apps makes that difficult. I never know if it is safe to delete anything anywhere, because I don't know the rules for propagating the deletion to other devices. It's a mess.

And now, the absolutely terrible changes for the new MBP. Getting rid of the ESC and Fn keys, and what appears to be a crappy MB keyboard, instead of the old, far superior MBP keyboard. And the non-upgradability of components has really gone too far.

I have the last gen MBP before the current one, and hope it lasts a long time. But looking ahead: If I go to vanilla hardware running Linux, how can I sync photos, music and other data with my phone? I'd rather not go to Android, since it appears that Google's incentive is to mine my data, and Apple does not appear to be in that business.
And then replace laptop with your phone. Continuum.
Reading through these emails, I can't help but draw the parallels between startups and politics. Emails from Mary Bonner included prospecting, getting ripped off, and PR drama are so reminiscent of emails I've seen.

Best explanation I found was from the following forum post which was discussing why the 4K LG only has USB2 ports on the back. Will quote it here. http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-teams-up-with-lg-f...

With the new displays, its the 4k one that only supports USB 2.0 speeds, the 5k one has "Three USB-C (USB 3.1 Gen 1, 5 Gbps)".

Looks like the two displays are actually using different technologies: the 4k one connects via "plain" USB-C, which means it uses USB-C's "DisplayPort Alternate Mode". USB-C has 4 pairs of high speed data wires plus 1 pair for "legacy" USB-2 signals. In DisplayPort Alternate Mode, some or all of the high-speed pairs are physically dedicated to DisplayPort signals. Unfortunately, Intel's USB-C/TB3 controller only supports DisplayPort 1.2, so to get 4k at a decent refresh rate takes over all 4 of those pairs just to run the display, leaving only the legacy USB-2 channel for other uses.

As for 5k, you can't do that with just 4 DisplayPort 1.2 data pairs - remember the Dell 5k display needs two DisplayPort 1.2 cables. However, Thunderbolt 3 works in a different way: rather than physically allocating wires to DisplayPort alone, the displayport data gets moshed together with the rest of the Thunderbolt signal so the display & peripheral data shares the same physical wires - the DisplayPort connection is a "virtual" one. Plus, Thunderbolt 3 has enough bandwidth to provide two virtual DisplayPort cables (8 virtual "wires") down a single physical cable, so it can can drive a 5k display and still fit some high-speed USB data around the edges.

That said - it probably doesn't make sense to hang your USB3.0 RAID array off the same pipe as a bandwidth-hogging 5k display. If you're gonna go 5k and want seriously fast external storage you can probably forget the whole single-cable docking thing until Thunderbolt 4 rolls around (...by which time you'll probably want a 25k display wall...)

USB-C DisplayPort mode can support 5k by using DisplayPort 1.3's higher data rate (although, again, that only leaves the legacy USB 2) but not when the computer's usb-c controller and GPU only support DisplayPort 1.2 - and that currently includes anything with an Intel USB-C controller (which is part of their Thunderbolt 3 controller). Complaints on a post card to Intel.
no problem! I'll be updating it if there are any changes or new pages added to the wiki.
My Grace Digital music player is nearly unusable with wifi (see the Amazon reviews on it). But with wired, it works like a champ. Wired is simpler, faster, more secure, and more likely to work.
The live streaming packages offered by the various sports organizations are generally pretty good if you're out of market, but are still subject to national blackouts. NHL for example plays a LOT of games on NBCSN, which is only available via cable packages. I'm able to follow all the Philadelphia teams I care about in Chicago without many issues, but having blackouts in 2016 is absurd.
But bicycles are useful on their own (possibly more so in a world where cars do not exist), so the existence of bicycles alone could easily have driven innovation.

> What on Earth are you talking about? Assange could go to Sweden today and the trial could be held there. No extraordinary rendition required.

Why on earth would he be that stupid though? They clearly aren't prosecuting the case properly so why would he believe he'd get a fair trial?

The only way they'll get him there is if they or the brits abduct him at gunpoint. Extraordinary rendition.

> No, they issued it because he needs to be in their custody before they can charge him.

They can say it all they want but that doesn't make it true. They want him in custody so that they can jail him after the sham trial.

Sweden can choose to charge him, and to try him, remotely. The reason they don't is that it's not about the case, with its likely short sentence, it's about capturing and controlling him. If they tried him remotely he would serve his sentence in a foreign (Ecuadorean likely) prison and they wouldn't have achieved their goal.

> This was explained repeatedly at the time.

Nope. They changed their story multiple times. At one point they claimed he fled Sweden.

> He is not wanted merely for questioning.

Right, not anymore. When one tactic failed they moved on.

> I don't claim to know what the Ecuadorian authorities

You claim to know to know that Assange wouldn't comply with a valid judgement. You're accusing someone of being an unrepentant rapist so you have the burden of proof.

> The warrant is legally valid. I don't think even Assange denies this!

No, valid means it's not a setup. The paper it's written on, the stamp on the paper, and the name signed on the bottom, are just trappings you've started to confuse with legitimacy.
In short: it's not Intel.

Longer: Intel has continually sucked at mobile (likely due to innovator's dilemma and it's love-hate relationship with Microsoft which also sucks at mobile), and this may mean a stronger shift by Apple to integration with it's priorities (security, iOS/WatchOS friendliness, better battery life).

Let me start by aying that I've been a professional web developer since about 10 years. I dabbled in a little Java, but did most of my work first in Python, then Ruby, JavaScript and CoffeeScript.

Ruby on Rails with JavaScript was OK. Clojure and ClojureScript are blowing my mind every day. So yes, I'd say it's a replacement. And not an incremental one, but something that feels solid, is fast and a lot of fun to write in.

Of course this is just my personal opinion that luckily some people share. To go into detail would probably entail writing a book. But I'm definitively not going to write EcmaScript 2016+ in the future. Instead I'll follow Uncle Bob and proclaim the last programming language: https://skillsmatter.com/skillscasts/2323-bobs-last-language

I wonder if the hacked email dumps have actually helped Clinton at this point. Unless the goal was to pull back the curtain and reveal that they're all a bunch of...thoughtful, informed, intelligent, passionate, articulate, ambitious professionals struggling with how to do the right thing while playing just enough politics and marketing to get elected. Sadly that actually does seem to turn off some voters, but likely only the ones who've made their minds up years ago anyway.

If your 110V wiring is vintage 1910, you should consider rewiring anyway. I was involved in renovating a 1923 building, and the old wiring was neat, but terrifying. Pulled it all out, didn't even want to think about anyone trying to run power through it.
Wow, your site has the most original interface I've ever seen. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but it certainly leaves an impression.
I recently was asked by three different people on the team to refactor the same code in 3 different ways, one after the other. There were no defects associated with this work, yet it was so urgent that I had to stop the feature I was working immediately and do it. It took a week to satisfy everyone and I was exasperated and engulfed in merge conflicts by the end.

I don't think it is specifically directed at me. I think it's just the culture. I've seen them do it to others, i.e. someone will go on vacation and they'll take that opportunity to refactor their work.

Objective things like metrics and syntax rules, I don't have a problem with. I'm talking about matters of opinion here. Things like architecture, as in, "I would have done it this way instead because DRY and SOLID and loose coupling, etc." Principles which can be used to justify practically any change.

I feel like they associate being nitpicky and obsessive with producing high quality code, so the most nitpicky people are seen as having the highest personal standards. They don't consider it might be a form of egomania.
> Competition drives innovation and improves consumer choice through ensuring: (i) market-based pricing; (ii) a widely available variety of unrestricted TLDs; (iii) improved quality of service (e.g. highly available and reliable systems); and (iv) improved customer service.

How did allowing corporations like Google to purchase generic gTLDs like .dev and refuse to allow the public access to any of them ensure these goals, especially (ii)? :/

Restricted gTLDs should have only been for trademarked company names, like .google or .microsoft

I think ESPN Films (producer of 30 for 30) as well as properties like the now defunct Grantland or FiveThirtyEight show that ESPN is trying to expand its reach beyond a cable only model. But you can't just dump your big revenue stream overnight. To some extent they are weighed down by their past and can't shed it fast enough.

Also, plenty of people who do retail or food service work in NYC make good money, and plenty make enough to live a good life in the outer burroughs. NYC is accommodating of those that don't.
I certainly never spoke to anybody who felt like we were defacto enslaved. Just one person's experience...

Harold McGee is the author of this article and he is both brilliant and a great writer. Reading the rest of his articles on that site [0] would be time well spent. This paragraph alone was enough to get me to whip up a batch of salt-rising bread [1], and it was indeed tasty. I have made it several times since.

"The engine behind this fermentation method is Clostridium perfringens, a close relative of bacteria that cause botulism, tetanus, and food poisoning. It can eat flesh. It gives gas gangrene its name by causing putrefying flesh wounds that bubble and foam with flammable hydrogen. And it can make something surprisingly delicate and tasty."

Soccer needs some rule changes to be worth watching.

Number one on my list would be getting rid of the stupid no-substitutions thing. I am not interested in watching people sedately jog around for 90 minutes, because they know they have to play the entire 90 minutes. Unlimited substitutions, and have guys play balls-to-the-wall for five minutes, then line-change them like in hockey. This is how we played in high school, and it made the game infinitely more fun to both play and watch.

Number two, eliminate flopping. It's just awful. Go hard, bounce off each other, get up, and keep going, don't go down like you've been shot if someone breathes on you.
The 40 GBit/s is definitely confusing.

My understanding is that that's total bandwidth across all protocols. So the mix of Displayport and PCIe 3.0 can't exceed 40 GBit/s. The 4x PCIe 3.0 on it's own is 32 Gbit/s, as you mentioned.

Each controller provides two Thunderbolt ports, which share bandwidth. For the 15", 4x PCIe to the left side Thunderbolt controller, 4x PCIe to the right side Thunderbolt controller, and 8x to the GPU would be a sensible configuration. Though who knows if Apple took this approach.
That's certainly true. It is a phenomenon that predates pornography, though from the news coverage I'm given to understand it happens more now? Or perhaps it's just shining light onto a long standing problem. I don't know enough about the culture to really say, just trying to understand it.
