Hah. :) I must have got models with OK screens, by sheer luck.

I forgot a few. I killed them too.

Except I kept update for TP drivers. Win Update has got them wrong in the past. 'apt-get upgrade' starts to look quite advanced! :D
> That's a 1990s design assumption when memory was expensive

Memory is still expensive:

* Spreading things out in memory more causes more cache misses, which lowers performance.

* Using more memory increases page faults, which lowers performance.

* I believe using more memory drains batteries faster on mobile devices, but I'm not sure exactly why. Maybe the effort spent shuttling stuff from virtual memory into real memory on page faults?

* On embedded devices, using more memory means you need to have more RAM, which increases the per-device manufacturing cost.

* Using more memory to represent code increases memory pressure, which leads to more GC cycles.

The last 6 minutes with the hat off really struck a chord. Excellent talk and couldn't agree more.
Actually where an employee lives and where they work may both be relevant, if different.

I would second google scholar, with a way to edit imports. Will you add an option to export to PDF--it's nice to have a single source of truth. For example, I maintain my CV as a rst file which I then can use to either generate html or pdf...

Was homeschooled K-12, Graduated high school in 2001, still have family that are homeschooled. I'd guess, as the article doesn't mention, that a large driver of homeschooling growth is second generation homeschooling, that is, my cohort of students that were in the first homeschooling growth wave are now homeschooling their own children.

Nice.

A useful next step would be to have an IMAP server with no queuing delay. When a message comes in via SMTP, and there's a connected client authorized to receive it, the message gets delivered to the client before the SMTP connection is closed. If no client is available to receive the message, queue the message and return "250 Queued" vs "250 Delivered". No mail bounces; all rejections are made during the active SMTP connection.

Similarly, a pure mail forwarder (SMTP in, SMTP out, no local mailboxes) would be useful. Again, it should open the outgoing SMTP connection while the incoming connection is still open, and return statuses immediately.

This no-queuing approach to SMTP gives us chat over email. It will interoperate with existing queuing-type servers, but if the whole chain is no-queuing, you get immediate delivery with a status telling you it reached the client.

(All this would apply only to messages with only one "To" address. Everything else gets dumped into a database for later bulk delivery as normal.)
Does anyone have real numbers on this or is this a projection into the future?
Whether it's a penalty or boost for reading or writing is entirely dependent on the performance characteristics of reading, writing, compressing, and decompressing. I can think of a reducto ad absurdum that's a write boost and a read penalty - I/O is carving and reading text from a stone tablet, compression is looking up shorthand from a dictionary.

I think all of the above?
It's been about ten years since I did any kernel work, but last I checked Linux doesn't use most of the fancy features of the CPU to avoid trashing more registers than necessary. If you know you don't do any floating point operations, for example, you know you don't need to save/restore the floating point registers on interrupts. The same might go for things like SSE.

Those instructions tend to be larger, so it may partly explain the difference in average instruction size. The same explanation would apply to why the Radeon driver has a higher average.
What's wrong with touch? Critically, it lacks the bandwidth of other forms of input. It's for consumption, not creation. It leaves the screen dirty. It encourages wasteful use of screen real estate by UI. You imply everything else is 'broken' because children like touch, however I believe that's just because touch mirrors physical interaction which we are all familiar with from birth, and thus 'better for the less cognitively developed'. You can't touch this.

FYI: You can run a professional blog on wordpress.com for about $100 a year (highest plan) and it will take millions of visitors.

The smallest production instance on AWS is about $100 a month (c4.large) for 1 core (+intel HT) + 4GB ram + a few GB of EBS volume.

The setup requires at least 4 hosts, thus that's a start price of $400 a month + the other fees (hardly 10% more :D).

It's f* insane to pay more than $400 per month to run a blog. No matter the traffic.
I like the following quote by Neil Gaiman about 50 Shades and other best-sellers:

"If ever you’re curious, go and look at the annual bestseller lists for years gone by. You’ll find a lot of books that sold an unbelievable number of copies when they were fashionable. I’m sure The Revolt of Mamie Stover also sold more books than Ray Bradbury will ever have sold in his whole life in its year. Have you read it? Heard of it? Off the top of my head, Peyton Place in its year, or The Gospel According to Peanuts, or The Ginger Man, or Jonathan Livingstone Seagull in their years undoubtedly outsold all of Ray Bradbury. But when their day is done, mostly those kind of books drift back into the void, and go, if not out of print, then back into a world where nobody quite knows why they sold that many copies any more. (Do you know who Gilbert Patten was? He sold about 500 million books in his lifetime…)

Meanwhile, Ray Bradbury sold quite a lot of books in 1956, and quite a lot of books in 2006 (Fahrenheit 451 alone has sold over 5 million copies), and he found his readers for his books and his stories in every year. And I’ll wager a hundred years from now he’ll still be read…

So, honestly, I wouldn’t fret, if I were you.

Nothing’s changed. Some books are, often inexplicably, bestsellers. That’s been the way of it for a hundred and fifty years or more.

Read the books you love, tell people about authors you like, and don’t worry about it." [1]

I was curious if we were running into a millennial vs old timer situation, I googled to verify, and the ballots I'm talking about and the OCR-ish technology used is exactly the same as ACT and SAT tests still in use. Although I read that for many years they have been planning to move online "soon" as you'd expect.

"Fill in the correct bubble" was very new technology when I was a young adult, apparently its still in use.

One handy thing about the ballot eater machine, as a voter, is I feed it a valid ballot and it emits a happy cartoonish beep song while eating and storing my ballot for later hand recounting, and feed it an invalid or questionable ballot and it immediately kicks it back at you with musical accompaniment indicating R2D2 is clearly not amused. The OCR contrast settings can be messed with such that anything even slightly questionable (erasures, etc) will simply not be accepted. The paper ballots being cheap and the technology being easy to understand, the poll workers simply give the voter a new ballot.

Firefox reduces functionality due to privacy
I live in NYC. I'm not sure why you are being downvoted, rising oceans are a big concern.

That said I think the solution will be pretty simple. When we have to, humans are really good at moving dirt. We do it less often now because of the impact on the environment, but if there was a will then it's solveable. I would expect to see a dike ringing Manhattan in my lifetime. The city is currently encircling Manhattan with a "greenway" which is basically a strip of bike lanes & walking paths. Imagine that, but raised 20 feet.

I think the same treatment will be useful for Brooklyn & Queens. I would close off some of the rivers that go into the boroughs (e.g. the Gowanus) to make the area that needs to be closed off smaller. That will be a bit disruptive to some industrial sites, but nothing crazy.

All of this works because each square mile of NYC is worth so much money and has been built up. I'd worry a lot more about suburban coastal areas where the density doesn't rally support building protection on that level. The urban areas will justify it, but if you live on the beach in NJ or LI, rising sea levels will be a major problem.
Or say, just the particles are the "insiders" of the "established system", while the barrier not.
I had that problem visiting California, where so many signs also list the law that applies. Even the little cart to take people to the top of Alcatraz has a sign "don't board moving cart", seemingly simple advice, then it lists the relevant law. The effect felt a bit police-statey, I found.
The backstory to the bones is pretty interesting. Take a look at https://tighar.org/Projects/Earhart/Archives/Documents/Bones... if you're curious. One of the surprises to me when I first read it is that the British administrator on Nikumaroro flat states that he thinks the remains could be those of Amelia Earhart.

Ultimately they decided that no, these bones were those of some other unfortunate person predating Earhart's disappearance. It's worth reconsidering their conclusion because we know some things now that they didn't know then.

Here's a link to a scan (or maybe it's a photograph) of one of the Tarawa telegrams: https://tighar.org/Projects/Earhart/Archives/Documents/Taraw.... Take note of the two serial numbers from the Sextant box, those turn out to be important.

Scans of some more telegrams from the Tarawa archive can be found here: https://tighar.org/Projects/Earhart/Archives/Documents/Taraw....

The sextant box with two different serial numbers seems weird. That's addressed here: https://tighar.org/Projects/Earhart/Archives/Research/Bullet.... The TLDR is that there's a very good chance that this was the box for a sextant that was surplussed by the U.S. Navy some time after 1919. Also it turns out that Fred Noonan (Earhart's navigator) liked to carry a naval sextant as a backup to his regular aeronautical instrument.

Even closer than that, aside from Jersey City and Hoboken nothing on the west side of the Hudson has a direct rail connection. Extending the 7 line to Weehawken would help.
Ideally there would be a cutover period. E.g. a month before the cert expires, attempt to renew on startup, and write a warning to log if that fails.
I loved this video because I got all the references.

I sit on the Ruby on Rails facebook group, and its flooded with people from India trying to learn ruby. What I find unusual is they publish tutorials when there are plenty of good sources such as Railscasts, but its like the last 10 years doesn't exist to them and they rehash tutorials.

Ruby was great before javascript frameworks. I haven't gotten around to using turbolinks but its strongly makes me question whether I should I stop using js frameworks all together and go full on into turbolinks and go back to a simpler time of rapid development.

All of sudden everything in web-development requires you to be an engineer. I think there is a large influx of Uni CS graduates running startups and the only solution in a complex solution such as React. I can use React but I can't understand from a business perceptive why you would want to quadruple your development time and create such a high bar of entry for developers.

Copperleaf Technologies | Vancouver, BC, Canada | Full-Time | ONSITE

We build products to help companies managing millions of dollars of assets make better decisions. Our core product, C55, helps companies decide which projects to invest in, how to reduce their risk, increase safety, and reduce their environmental impact. We are one of the top 20 Fastest-Growing Software Companies in Canada and winner of the BC Tech 2016 Emerging Company of the Year Award.

We want to expand our development team significantly in the next year. We have a number of positions available, and especially looking to fill roles on a few different teams right now:

1. An existing Django/Python stack “cloud” team (which I am on), working on a new product. We’re looking for all kinds of developers (frontend, backend, full-stack). Experience with JavaScript is a plus, and having experience across the whole stack (including Postgres) is a big plus. We’d love to have all of our headcount filled for January 1st!

2. A new Django/Python stack "cloud" team, building a new product based on a successful feature in our core product. Similar setup to the existing team.

3. The third “cloud” team, using a Node.js/JavaScript stack, also working on a new product. They are using Angular on the front end, and Postgres on the back. All the “cloud” teams use modern devops tech like AWS, Ansible, and Docker to manage deployments.

4. The analytics team, using the core product’s C#/ASP.NET stack, is looking for a developer for the predictive-analytics module of C55, which creates forecasts based upon risks. This is a great position for someone who is mathematically-inclined, likes algorithms, probability, stochastic processes, graph theory, and linear programming.

There are also several other open non-development positions at http://www.copperleaf.com/careers/

I joined Copperleaf back in April. The people here are really nice, they care about what they do, and they have a lot of domain knowledge.

If any of that sounds interesting to you, please fire off an e-mail to me (Tom) at thauk@copperleaf.com and we can chat a bit more!

Show HN: “How do I know it's the right time to ask for a raise?” (free course)
Hello HN!

I made this as a test of what can be done locally in the browser without a backend, and because I was frustrated with certain things missing from traditional maps.

You can draw routes around the tube network, get time heatmaps from any station, use alternate maps, disable lines, etc.

It should work in latest Firefox and Chrome desktop, Chrome mobile, and hopefully Safari (though I couldn't test it myself yet). IE definitely doesn't work until I've had more time to play with it, it doesn't support maps/sets without polyfill...

I'd really appreciate screenshots from Safari if anyone feels particularly helpful :P
Leaving Mattermark and What’s Next – Thoughts from a Co-Founder
The lack of zoning is a massive problem. That combined with the cheap surrounding land is why there are essentially no livable neighborhoods in Houston in the sense that Jacobs was talking about.

Houston is a great example of what you get with unbridled suburban sprawl. Much of the city isn't dense enough to justify real mass transit, which is part of the problem you are seeing. It's a great example of how to keep land prices low and automobile miles high, but not much else from a city planning point of view.

Saying this is "sad" is the same thing as saying it's sad that marketing or sales have to exist. Not everything knows about everything that's out there. You have to tell them. That doesn't make the act of telling them bad or dirty.

As someone progresses in their career, their job is as much about selling the business or their boss on the direction they want to go as it is writing good code or architecting good systems. If your idea of a great website showcasing your work is a 12pt. Times New Roman list of GitHub links, what does that say about your ability to progress beyond stubbing out interfaces all day?
Counterfeit component risk and bad security for an assembled IoT device are two separate issues. Sourcing components on Amazon in the first place is ludicrous to me, to be honest, and I'd be shocked if any reputable EMS companies do it. As an aside, a couple years ago I saw some guys from NXP do a talk on component counterfeiting. People will apparently remove them from dead boards, shave a few microns of material off the top of their legitimate capacitors, change their reported value, and resell them. Pretty nuts.
