The nominal product life is 5,000 charge/discharge cycles, or 13-14 years if solar powered. Maintenance monitoring, including battery deterioration, is remote, from Tesla's end. Will that service still be running in 2030?
It's not. Win10 doesn't even have a proper HiDPI installation dialog.
A 2012 CPU is very different from 2016. Power efficiency in particular but also features, like wireless display, do they even have USB 3.0?
I am using Linux distros on both laptops and a desktop as the only OS and you are definitely misrepresenting the current state of things. It takes a lot of work.

For the laptops, the clickpads never work well. You have to mess with synaptics settings a lot and eventually you get a slightly worse config than the default on Windows and a lot worse than OSX clickpad. This is coming from someone who looked into hardware compatibility and bought a laptop that didn't seem to have any problems.

For Desktops (and laptops * 10), you have a lot of issues if you want to

A) Use CUDA in general for neural networks.

B) Resize VM encrypted hard drive after creation.

C) Dual boot with Windows (things like updating windows or reinstalling a Linux distro after digging yourself into a hole with CUDA drivers mentioned above can wipe grub in a way that wouldn't let you boot).

D) Allow hibernation in a dual monitor setup with proprietary drivers.

E) Use a tablet for drawing on a system with multi-monitor setup and proprietary drivers.

F) Mess with Compiz settings too much when you have proprietary drivers.

G) Dual booting with one hard drive with Linux full disk encryption and non-default partitions and another hard drive regular Windows.

H) Dual boot from one disk and encrypt Linux partition with luks and forgo swap partition.

Having said all this:

I would still use ubuntu/linux because almost all non-.NET/Java tools are easier to use on Linux. Lets you customize your system and code without VM overhead and inconveniences.

The system doesn't get slower over time and nothing unexpected randomly happens (except after updates to graphics drivers).

How does this compare to waifu2x?
Correct. Freshly blended food is also no issue.

The first issue is that you don’t immediately consume it after blending, but wait a few minutes or hours.

The second issue is that the grinding with teeth requires you to spend energy, which reduces the energy you gain from the food.
Read up on Daedelus language and Datalog that Eve is based on. It's pretty powerful. You just haven't looked deep enough.
We do have the same problem in Java and .NET though.

I have already used libraries that catch the exceptions internally and return some kind of error value instead. :(
"Could you dumb it down a little?"
> macOS has something better: all the settings in one place.

All twelve of them.
If you have to work with MacOS you have to stick with Apple hardware even if you think it sucks. Maybe you should slowly steer your business to a more vendor neutral workflow and finally jump ship when you are comfortable with it. For example you might start using tools that are available also on Linux and Windows. I switched from Windows to Linux 7 years ago when I was using only open source cross platform tools and I was developing for Linux servers anyway.

And once your self made cheap chinese battery pack ends up catching fire and taking your whole house with them you understand why you want to pay for some actual company to do this and have some quality control/insurance.
I'm not convinced this will work as well as you might hope. The ticking clock, and the high expectations, are still there.

The J.J. Thomson quote still seems applicable, even if the time horizon is slightly longer:

>>> “If you pay a man a salary for doing research, he and you will want to have something to point to at the end of the year to show that the money has not been wasted. In promising work of the highest class, however, results do not come in this regular fashion, in fact years may pass without any tangible results being obtained, and the position of the paid worker would be very embarrassing and he would naturally take to work on a lower, or at any rate, different plane where he could be sure of getting year by year tangible results which would justify his salary. The position is this: You want this kind of research, but if you pay a man to do it, it will drive him to research of a different kind. The only thing to do is pay him for doing something else and give him enough leisure to do research for the love of it.”

That points towards some plausible answers for supporting non-capital-intensive research (e.g. pay to teach instead). Supporting more capital-intensive research, I really don't know.
Not unlikely, most GMOs are modified to increase resistance of them for pesticides, or for them to produce pesticides themselves.

And these increased pesticides often also cause several reactions in humans.
I barely understand the chat bots hype around these days. They all remind me of Clippy [1] and are especially ineffective when it comes to complicated interaction.

You will be disappointed with any OS after 2 days of use. It might be because of real problems, or it might be because things are not how they used to be on what you were using before.

Despite disliking GNOME 3 when it came out, I got used to it and I honestly think it's the best desktop out there.
The examples show a comparison to the original and the scaled.
I've seen several articles recently saying that chatbots are The Next Big Thing. I just don't get it. Every chatbot I've ever used reminds me of playing those text-based adventure games, where you need to rephrase your question several times to get the outcome you want.

I find it hard to imagine a situation where a chatbot would help me find the information I need faster than a nice structured menu layout or a good search engine.

Am I missing something?
Part of the reason that macOS works so well is due to the good integration with the hardware.

Looking at the poor experience of other commenters in this thread, it looks like Microsoft hasn't realized that is how Apple has managed to do it, and the Surface devices are really "just another PC" and not first-class Windows hardware.
"The future is [whatever I see in front of me today]!"

A large number of accounts you control. It must be so large that you can use small and different subsets each time you need them. Make those accounts post and reply sometimes to get points and be plausible users. Maybe some passably intelligent bots. Don't register them at the same time. You probably need one year or two to ramp up the accounts.

HN is possibly not the best place to ask questions such as these. You'd probably get better answers and also be able to have a follow up discussion by posting this question to a osdev or Linux kernel related mailing list (search for osdev or kernel newbies or even the dev mailing list for the distro of choice).

All that said, to answer your question in brief, you have the right idea - even within the device driver layer you have various levels of abstraction. Whether you ultimately choose a certain level of abstraction is really specific to what you would like to do. If you find that an existing kernel module that provides a easy to work with interface via a device node, just make a userspace tool or library to suit your needs, if not, create your own kernel module.

The arms are probably chrome to invite attention and imply motion. "Hey, play with me, I move!" It's a signal to potential buyers that they're not looking at yet another all-in-one computer. I think it's a smart choice. If you're staring at the arms enough to be bothered, then you're probably not the target market for this device; the arms are completely hidden when used in drafting/drawing profile.

For what it's worth, Apple created a similarly attention-grabbing hinge on their G4 iMac back in the day.
This Is Why I Bathe at Least Twice Daily
Where can I get a 250ah battery for $5? I see prices in the hundreds, and weights over 150 lbs.

Edit: Though we only need 5 of them, not 9. The whole point of deep cycle batteries is that it's OK to discharge the quoted capacity every cycle.
Hi, I'm also a blind dev - successfully been developing back-end systems and libraries at Microsoft for over a decade. There are certainly accessibility problems, but the awesome thing about being a dev is that you can also make your own solutions. Look at T V Raman at Google, and Emacspeak - which whilst not everyone's cup of tea, certainly serves him well.

For any developer, it's important to practice your craft, and when looking for a job, it's valuable to have a portfolio of work you've contributed to. So you can get multiple benefit by helping create a tool which will help you be more productive, and also show your skill.

Clearly, this project should be something that you're passionate about, but one project I've had on my when-I-have-time list is below - I would be happy to work with others who are interested (@blinddev @ctoth @jareds).

After your text editor / IDE, one of the next most important tools is a tool for tracking bugs/tasks. Unfortunately, many of the common ones, like VSTS, Jira, and Trello, are either not accessible, or at least not productively usable with a screen reader.

Over my career I've developed my own scripts for working with such systems, but it would be good to have something that others can also benefit from. I should probably put my initial bits on Github, but time is currently consumed by other projects. Email me if this interests you. Also happy to mentor on general career challenges around being a blind software engineer.
Microsoft seems to be doing an amazing job of being comtabile with Linux CLI lately, but it seems like they are still years away from parity.

But were their papers read by more people 50 years ago than now?
Is that still true? I thought they'd changed that. I would have the developer edition myself, but I live in Australia and it's not available here.

The Broadcom chip is equally as bad in either windows or Linux in my experience.
"Other systems" have had a very dismal track record so far.

Yes, historically we are doing pretty good. This proves sometimes changes in systems improve things. This is why questions that generally lead peoples to think of other systems should be approached with kind questioning and inquiry rather than scoffing them as rubbish off-hand - we should amswer why they often are impossible.

"That's a profound problem. We're limited now by artifacts of human cognition."

Yes, this is a very good summary of the other half of the problem. The other is figuring a dynamical model of the economy (which might or might not be impossible).
Dirty COW Was Livepatched in Ubuntu Within Hours of Publication
There used to be issues with external monitor flicker in the xps 15 but they were solved some time ago, the only issues I know of that remain (and they drive me crazy) is connecting external displays through a usb-c dock (such as the dell TB15) - but at least in my case it's not so bad.

Trackpad is excellent - responsive and smooth. two finger scroll, pinch to zoom and just normal delay and sensitivity is great. Not sure what more one needs (I don't use 3 or 4 fingers really).

Never had coil whine.
It works, but "works fine" is a long stretch. Takes a long time to connect, particularly after suspend, sometimes several minutes or longer. This is true of both windows and Linux.

Meh. This is way too conspiracy theory-ish. Some people don't live their lives on Github, but I think some of the people that do can't fathom that anyone else wouldn't (similar to certain twitter/facebook users).

In the past I've done drive by patches to projects by signing up for a mailing list, dropping off my patch and unsubscribing a week later. Some of those patches might have even had bugs in them (it happens to the best of us)—they certainly weren't intentional.

This is reading way too much into an abandoned account—there are way more totally legit reasons to abandon an account than there are nefarious ones.

They would have more than enough power, but you cant pull power out of a Tesla. That would make supercharging to good of a deal.
This is exactly what my proposal is designed to do. No reporting or progress needs to be given each year. The recipients would have total leisure to do what every they wanted with no pressure to produce results. Sure some of the recipients will do nothing, and some will try and fail, but what we are looking for are the 1 in 100 or 1 in 1000 that produce an amazing breakthrough.
That's not supposed to happen - Uber must be doing their own OS version detection and not using Apple's supported method to declare the supported APIs. Apple have gone out of their way to add a way to install old versions of apps when the new version has stopped supporting the OS you're using (the developer can even specify in iTunes what versions to serve up for what OSes).

Agreed. For a while there, I had a GitHub account for years and only made one commit to an open source project, and basically did nothing else. I use another hosted Git platform for my day to day work, as well as self hosted repositories.

In fact, even to this day, the amount of activity on my Github account (commits to other repos) can be counted on one hand.

I think there's a market for a localised CI machine or localised dev server that developers can log into which is beefy enough to do tasks at fractions of the time a devs machine would run at. Ideally it could have and IDE that runs on the server designed for collaboration.
Really cool to see them taking a page out of X264, trying to match the "energy" of the image rather than the "correctness".
That's to make sure you understand that if you ignore the document there will be consequences.
You guys do realize that most of the technology you buy is already made in China so its not like buying "American" is going to be some magical guarantee of quality. You'll find that a lot of the tech companies already have their products manufactured entirely overseas where the price is then marked up several hundred percent and sold to western consumers.

Regarding costs: I didn't factor in every possible cost but I still find it hard to believe that these high powered lithium batteries will work out to be cheaper than AGM batteries at this stage -- even factoring in things like shipping and installation costs (though I may be wrong about this, I think that this battery is likely to be like the Apple of PC components.)

By the way: If anyone is interested in suppliers have a look at companies like Guangzhou Henda Power Ltd and Guangzhou ESG New Energy Technology Co. They sell cheap AGM batteries like the ones I've mentioned. And you may even bump into one of SolarCity's suppliers if you do enough research ;)

Anyway, thanks for the downvotes for not band wagoning but none of you have any clue what you're doing.
Ukrainian Hackers Cyber Hunta Leaked Emails of Putin's Advisor
Arenas trade some granularity and flexibility for speed and fragmentation-free allocation; they're a great choice for bulk data that you can precompute the size of and want to iterate over very quickly, and they're also easy to reason about. You can do many tasks using only arenas and stack allocations, and it'll zip along very quickly. If needed, you can flag liveness to get very efficient reuse of short-lived objects. They're less ideal if you are gradually adding more data over time, and you want to retain a consistently low usage, since you end up with "stairsteps" of latency when it copies into a bigger buffer, and once you have the big buffer, it's quite complicated to shrink it down again.

malloc()-style allocation gives you precision over how much you want, and this is most interesting to a memory-constrained system trying to allocate amongst many different processes(the original Unix use-case). But willy-nilly use of malloc() and free() leaves you with lots of fragmentation, as well as a larger attack surface for memory errors. What the actual allocation algorithm does is out of your hands, too, at least if you're depending on the OS allocator(you can always go write your own and supply it with a giant heap to munch on, and this may occur when you need tuning for individual allocation scenarios).

In the right scenario, a GC won't do too much differently from a manual allocator(there are lots of optimizations that could bring the allocation to same-or-negligible runtime), but as we all know, right scenarios are something you can't always count on. A GC does, however, greatly simplify the memory management of a long-lived process since it can do nifty things like automatically compact the heap.

IME, a mix of stack, GC, and some arenas in the form of growable arrays, is absolutely fine for the needs of most applications. Quite often this last requirement creates a sticking point, though, where the language disallows value semantics for arrays of objects, and then you can no longer assume they're allocated linearly, plus the GC is taxed with additional references to trace. In those cases, if I have them I use arrays of primitive values as crude containers for an equivalent optimization. Either way, it's very annoying and creates some awful code, because those huge batches that I'd like to put in arenas also tend to be the bottleneck for the GC.
Ask them about their enterprise licensing and see if you still have the same opinion.

Actually opening science to hobbyists would be a good idea. I come from a country where diploma are required to be philosophes, artists and scientists however we hardly win any Nobel prizes or have good artists, while we had hobbyists who actually discovered stuff:
Rousseau applied math for cheating the national lottery, Lavoisier discovered the composition of air and the azote...my grandfather was like that.

But, I guess people already know diploma don't make you anything more than a person with a nice paper to hang on your wall.

The problem is mainly the respect of institutions.

They are extending 'their website and business' into private property. That's a direct conflict without resolution, I confidently predict nothing will change and this is just window-dressing.

Yes indeed, Airbnb can do what they want with their property, namely their website and business, and their customers property is not their business.

> if you don't like it then they even outline what you can do in the linked article.

Yes, you can ignore it, or you can move to a competitor and so on. Airbnb simply is not in a position to force anybody to accept guests they do not want to entertain for whatever reason, that's the way they set things up because that is the easiest for them. To now retro-fit a requirement that you can't discriminate is there to look good, not for you to stop discriminating. The only way they could enforce that is by forcing Airbnb hosts to accept all guests without the ability to refuse any of them and that will never happen.
That's the key trade of these days in software imho.
What kind of memory management you need.

Sever side zero memory leaks absolute requirement and "real time" responses rarely a requirement. triggering gc during init and/or shutdown of a component often enough.
