I can agree with that and felt the same way until I realized (or was forced to admit repeatedly) that 90% of my time using Windows or OS X is now spent either in an SSH session, a web browser, or a virtual machine. Frankly all of these releases, from both companies, come off as rather boring to me. I think all the most interesting innovation, from my perspective, is happening in software now and less "flashy" embedded systems.
I got a Dell XPS 15, the 9550 edition.
Before purchasing I was scared of the bad stability reviews it had when it was release. However Dell treats it with updated drivers regularly, and with latest drivers it works great. It can even handle 3D shooter without thermal throtteling etc.
I use it as a developer machine with Windows 10.

Just be careful with the Dell Thunderbold 3 TB15 dock (not sold any more I think). I got one, and with the latest drivers it works, but has some quirks.
Also be careful to sort out complaints about the XPS in the net: may have problems using the dock, not with the laptop itself.

And the touchpad is great by the way.

> Nobody is going to admit to discrimination, even if they do agree, people will come up with alternative reasons for not allowing the people they do not wish to stay in their private homes, so nothing will change but Airbnb will look good.

Correct. That's the whole point.
It's basically just a political/marketing move the were probably forced to take.
Nothing will change.
Just google it. I'm getting tired of seeing so many low effort comments. I used to come here to be informed..
Why not let wikileaks serve the emails on the MIT page? It's the way the web is supposed to work. Also, the wikileaks archive is the "official" copy in some sense.
And yet OSX doesn't have such a tool from an official or even unofficial source without a daemon running and wasting CPU cycles.

I bought a non-apple keyboard and still can't map home+end keys in all applications without a daemon running.
The biggest issue is on single deployments like desktop or embedded, hence why these kind of improvements are so relevant.
It will take most people 20-30 years to recoup this in terms of an investment over wholesale energy costs at current rates. It is, for the present a gimmic.

Well, roughly every driving week or so...

Just two days ago, driving on a roundabout some lady enters the roundabout right in front of my car. Fortunately it was a two lane roundabout and the left lane was empty so I could swerve to avoid crashing into her left hand side door (I was coming straight at her).

At the traffic light I asked her if she had not seen me and she went 'Seen what? Where?', so apparently she had not seen me at all, which is pretty impressive given that I was less than 5 meters away from her when it happened.

This sort of thing happens with some regularity. All it takes for a situation like that to turn into an accident with possibly a fatality is for me also not to pay attention.

Right, so you won't be able to use an app to monitor your Powerwall while it's offline... the battery's still going to work. Backup and off-grid are advertised use cases. Tesla's cars have the "cloud-connected, remote-controlled" stuff too, but they don't stop in the middle of the road if you leave cell phone coverage.
Why would he want to sell it after only 1 year? Both machines will depreciate rapidly. The Mac probably having the shortest lifespan in terms of how long Apple will support it with OS and security updates.
I agree this would be a good thing. Problem is that then the access of the public key needs to be encrypted too, which in turn means you need to make sure you use HTTPS. I think this would be a good thing, but I'm hesitant to make it an requirement.
Linux from Scratch is amazing. In 2002, I built an LFS system and used it for a semester and a half. I got tired of saving all my ./configure flags and switch to Fedora for a bit. I truly learned to appreciate package management afterwards. :-P

Today I'm a Gentoo/Funtoo users, which is sorta like LFS with package management. I've had to do a lot of work with embedded systems and Linux servers in my career, and I feel like using LFS for nearly a full school year in University really helped me understand Linux fundamentals.
iCloud Keychain can still be recovered without any trusted device. They have some kind of escrow system for recovery. It was mentioned in the talk given recently by one of their security people.
True, I've not included a specification for doing that.
Evolutionary biologists are perfectly comfortable with the idea that focusing light is the purpose of a lens, and cutting meat is the purpose of sharp teeth, and structural support is the purpose of a skeletal system, etc. etc. etc. It's not fallacious in any sense. What they rant against is the idea that items with a purpose must have been ordained by a supernatural force.
Did you try it on a desktop or a laptop? It doesn't work as well on laptops because of the graphics cards drivers and sleep/hibernation.

In the early 2000's there was the "original AT&T", a separate wireless company called AT&T Wireless, then Cingular who was the wireless group/division of SBC (Southwestern Bell) and SBC themselves.

Consolidation started with Cingular buying AT&T Wireless. Then SBC bought AT&T and simply kept the AT&T brand. Eventually the Cingular brand went away and they went back to AT&T and AT&T Wireless.

Wheeeee! The AT&T of today is basically SBC with all the old assets rolled in. SBC bought AT&T, not the other way around.

Quite true, but the reality is that since Modula-3, Oberon, Eiffel and others did not get adopted at large by the industry, many got the idea that it isn't possible to have a GC for productivity and still manually manage memory, if really required.

So now we are stuck with modern languages having to bring those ideas back to life.
I have personally experienced that many hosts do not like to rent to young males. Some even restrict this in their description i.e "only for females". I hope this discrimination ends now

Yes, Airbnb can do what they want with their property, namely their website and business. If you don't like it then they even outline what you can do in the linked article.

This knife cuts both ways.
The complaint is that facebook gives you the option to display your ads only to a particular demographic. Then they substantiate the idea that this is a Fair Housing Act violation with this:

> The Fair Housing Act of 1968 makes it illegal "to make, print, or publish, or cause to be made, printed, or published any notice, statement, or advertisement, with respect to the sale or rental of a dwelling that indicates any preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.”

But displaying ads only to white users is not at all the same thing as printing "whites only" in the ad.

His argument about the solar roof starts by equating the situation to how Tesla started out - electric cars were slow and ugly and needed to be sexy and cool to be attractive, and the same is true for solar. Except I highly doubt this is true here - do people really mind the look of typical roof-mount solar? My impression is that the upfront cost is just too high and cost recoup is just too slow. The argument for the solar roof is then 'using a solar roof in the first place = way cheaper than installing on top of existing roofs (and also it looks as good and works better)'.

Maybe? I'd like to see the quantitative argument here. Having a house pre-built with a fancy solar roof AND a powerpack seems like it would still be pretty much for rich people. Still, maybe the aim is for a similar trajectory as Tesla - start with a product for rich people, make it attractive, lower cost so everyone can have it and WANTS to have it.

Unrelated: gosh, I like the content of the video presentation but it would be nice if Musk was a slightly better presenter.
Even if the product has been running flawlessly in production for 5+ years?

"Proven in use" and backwards compatibility is a bitch.

The problem with phones is that they don't have good management - the battery doesn't have active cooling, or heating when needed. They're also charged to full capacity or depleted to empty a lot of the time.

These things are what kills battery life.
Reading this story I think the opportunity here is in testing the nutrient levels of the hay.

He is your hay guy and he provides a fantastic personal service, but is his product of the highest quality for feeding to horses? Even if "highest" is not the correct measure, just knowing the nutrient levels and, in patricular for hay to feed performance horses, the protein level, will greatly assist in formulating a correctly balanced diet for the stock.

Therefore, a quick, easy to use test for obtaining the nutrient values could be really valuable to either the supplier, in order to provide confidence and value to the buyer pre-purchase, or to the buyer post-purchase. Each cut of hay is likely to be different.

Maybe a quick convenient analyser like this already exists, but my view is not to disrupt the farming industry but rather to provide added value for stronger outcomes in general.
Quick question for the people living in the US (Target customers of the Powerwall). What is your yearly power usage?

On the website[0] they put for sizing 10kWh/day/BR. Which means 14600kWh/year for a 4 bedroom house. Here in Germany, working from home with a 4BR+office house, we are using 2550kWh/year. So, I suppose the Tesla sizing is to support a "peak day" usage, but still, I am surprised by the calculations. This is why this totally informal and unscientific survey :)

> In Java for instance the difference in performance compared to C++ comes from memory layout ability not memory management.

We need more modern languages with AOT compilation, ability to allocate on the stack and use value types.

I like C++ and have spent quite a few years using it, before settling on memory safe languages for my work.

Many C++ presentations seem to forget on purpose that there are memory safe programming languages, which offer similar capabilities for controlling memory layouts, thus presenting the language as the only capable of doing it.

Modula-3 is an example, or Swift and D for something more actual.
I wonder which right should prevail in general:
a) the right to host people I like and don't host people I dislike in my home
b) the right to be what I want and be accepted everywhere.

Again, I guess A should probably prevail and the Internet should take care of matching who I am with the hosts happy to have me.

"regardless of their race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or age"

We also manage bookings for apartments on the beach and openly write "Apartment for families. Groups of young people up to 30 years are not accepted." in Airbnb and other portals.
So, is Airbnb saying we'll be forced to accept noisy and unruly drunk groups who will probably bring drugs and extra friends in the middle of the night damaging the newly build apartments?
This just makes no sense.

So it will be either:
- This is not real, just some facade for political correctness
- We'll get customers from other portals

Look at the wiki article on dog food [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_food#History] - diets for dogs have been ad hoc and varied for thousands of years. I'd argue that it is only with the advent of kibble (in the late C19) and canned cat/dog food (in the early C20) that pets started eating single-source diets.

I do not think that this is enough time for adaption, and any selective breeding has been focused on other attributes rather than diet.

You can buy 12v 250ah deep cycle AGM batteries from China for around $5 per battery -- lets assume another $15 for world-wide shipping. These kind of batteries would have around 3kwh of storage per battery but since you shouldn't discharge them to more than 50% lets also say that you need to double the number of batteries to achieve 14kwh of usable power for 28kwh of total capacity. At that capacity level, you would need only 9 batteries for a sub total of just $180 USD (including shipping.)

Lets proceed with these calculations and say that you also want a good quality "grid-tie" "pure sine wave" inverter (to feed your stored energy back to your home grid) which will set you back any where from $100 - $1000. Your total cost for energy storage is still only going to be around $1180 (worse case.) Now consider that the life time for the Tesla batteries and standard AGM batteries seem to be very similar and I honestly have no idea what the customer is actually paying for.

Is the compact size and sleek appearance really worth the extra cost to the customer? Maybe it is. Maybe people don’t want to have a nerdy battery bank in their homes but to me the benefits all seem a little petty. (Granted, I definitely do see the benefit for tech like this in electric cars though, don’t get me wrong.)

Embedded linux device drivers
Hi guys,

I have a dillema about device drivers written for an embedded linux.
So, as far as I know, a device driver lies in kernel space and it creates a node under the /dev file system, through which the user can access a physical device ( theoretically).
Now, what exactly defines a device driver?
I see this like layered structure.
Starting from bottom, we have a physical device (GPS,GSM,or any kind of device connected to a board).An upper layer we have the core (those interfaces which implements the protocols like I2C,UART,and so on).An upper layer is so called the device driver which uses the sub-layer (core) to communicate with the physical device.Both the newly created device driver and the I2C, UART, SPI and so on, creates a node under /dev.
Now, do we need to create a device driver which uses the core library as long as it exposes its data to user space ?I mean, in this case we can use an user space application which plays the role of the driver reading/writing to /dev/Ttyxx ?

Please give me a clear picture about device driver.

Thank you,
Best Regards,

All the software I've seen (and I'd be fascinated to see anything I've missed) does not work in a way (afaik) that would be useful for a robot painter.

Photoshop filters and more advanced converters like DeepArt produce something which look like strokes, but have no concept of strokes. Illustrator convert to vector/stroke/outline uses a concept of stroke which makes no accounting for the drag and physics of a brush, and may not even by physically possible to produce.

There are, of course, some conversions which we can achieve already. We have pen-based plotters and could write simple contrast/cross hatching converters etc. But these are qualitatively different from scanning an image and converting it into the strokes for a robot arm.
If you know any that are worth recommending: post them!

Regarding "there are other places to do that": there are websites for job posts, freelancers, etc, but we still get those monthly on HN. The form and audience make a big difference.

Go can become a systems programming language, even if the GC haters don't think so.

It has the same features as Oberon for systems, programming which was used to build quite a few Workstation OS at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ), by Niklaus Wirth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberon_(operating_system)

You can read the source code here in the 2013 revised edition of the 1992 book.

http://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/ProjectOberon/index.html

The only thing missing from Go versus what Oberon offered is register access on the unsafe package, but even then can be sorted out with an extension or a few calls into Assembly.

Oberon-07, which is even more minimalist that either Go or the original Oberon is sold by Astrobe for bare metal programming on cortex M boards.

http://www.astrobe.com/default.htm

Go is already bootstraped into itself, so the writing compilers is taken care of.

It is used by Docker and Kubernetes for managing containers.

It just needs someone writing an OS with Go for its Master or PhD thesis, or even just port Oberon source code, which is freely available into Go.

Simple, it's scaled for how long you work. 2 hours per.month would mean they also have to pay you for 2 hours 53 minutes per year of holiday.

Really, uber are not the only company that hires people for irregular work. This stuff has all been worked out a long time ago.

It's just paying people to work for you, hardly a crazy business model.
Of course you can, time to learn about Mesa/Cedar, Modula-2+, Modula-3, Oberon, Sing#, System C# and possibly a few others.

Here you can learn how those guys at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich did it.

http://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/ProjectOberon/index.html

Basically the runtime is done bare metal thus becomes the OS kernel.

Oh, and Oberon wasn't just a research OS, it was actually used across the computing department by many of its employees.

I fully agree with your thoughts bu but I wanted to add 2 things.

1. Even if all states prohibit BTC (a bigg if) there will still be demand from entities not under state control (black market), especially so in ineffective countries (socialist or wartorn or with just big slums). Consequently price won't go to zero because of this.

2. The biggest threat is BTC competitors because there can be infinitely many.
