They took the tradeoff. Mind you, a number of these things Did Not Matter to them -- they weren't pairing them with the computers, just their phones. I said manufacturing -- they had a bunch of old 'beater' desktops that were over five years old for running device programmers and the like.

It would likely have taken me a full workday to get them up to speed on any security/privacy issues.

As for DRM, not only do I think they wouldn't care so long as their music played, but I'm with everyone who sees no difference between a remote DAC and a local one. (Heck, these folks in manufacturing could easily have disassembled the headphones and put in an analog output at the appropriate point, they had the relevant rework skills -- and that would not trip any phone-internal tamper sensors.)

If you really want them to write "well-tested and modular algorithmic code" then you should teach them how to write packages in RStudio. Then require everything submitted to be in RMarkdown.

I mentor learning data scientists and my advice is always to start using RMarkdown as soon they're remotely comfortable with RStudio. Not only does it avoid issues with an easily polluted global namespace, but more importantly encourages literate programming from the early stages. In stats/data science literate programming is vital to having any idea what you were working on a few months ago. It also makes writing reports much, much easier.

RStudio makes it pretty easy to put together R packages, and the package structure for R does a great job of enforcing proper documentation and testing. Sourcing R files should primarily be used to quickly play around with ideas, or for exploratory data analysis that doesn't fit well inside an RMarkdown document. Any code you intended on reusing between projects should end up in a local package.

I do think it's a problem that R has no intermediate method of organizing code like simple modules in Python. But this means if you're serious about writing clean R, you just have to bite the bullet and teach students to write packages.
I'm not bitching about USB-C. I'm actually kinda with you on that one, so please try not to put words in my mouth.

But the headphone jack? No, that one is Apple pushing people around. It's not to make the phone "thinner" because that fugly lens protrusion is hideous, and the 7 is exactly as thick as the 6S, anyway. It's not to make the phone "waterproof"; $.00000002/phone worth of silicone around the jack could have done that. As Schiller himself said, it "comes down to one word — courage."

It's purely about seeing if they can dictate to their customers, and people are lining up, all, "Shut up and take my money!"

EDIT: vulgarity.
That's called a summary.

Notification objects are only for specific receive patterns IIRC. Simple message sends occur via endpoints, which I believe in seL4 you can think of sort of like a file descriptor, ie. each thread has a kernel-controlled address space of endpoints it can index to send messages.

The cycle count is for a one-way IPC. This roughly consists of entering kernel mode (~50-100 cycles), switch to kernel stack, finding the endpoint specified by system call (roughly: thread_control_block.endpoints[registerX], let's say ~10 cycles), switch to thread's address space (~100 cycles, maybe more for TLB flushes), switch to new thread's stack, return to user mode (~50-100 cycles). This is the fast path in which the whole message is passed in registers. The only memory that's touched are the original and target thread control blocks, so it's quite fast at ~300 cycles for x86_64.

These are all rough estimates of course, so don't quote me. Longer message sends require copying buffers which may also incur page mapping overheads and page faults. A page fault would abort the message send, notify the disk process to load the missing pages, and the send is retried once the page is mapped back into memory.

Edit: as noted in the L4 review paper you linked to, the majority of message sends are very small, and most simply pass all data in registers, so the fast path is the average cost.
Creating Equilibrium in the PR-Advertising-Marketing Ecosystem
Oh the link was present in the article, digging deeper here's closer to reality:

The reference study on mice points to these quantities:

Groups of 50 male and 50 female mice were fed diets containing 0, 312, 625, or 1,250 ppm 4-methylimidazole (equivalent to average daily doses of approximately 40, 80, and 170 mg 4-methylimidazole/kg body weight to males and females) for 106 weeks.

Which should compare to 2600mg on the lowest non-zero dose for a light-ish guy like me.

The levels measured in the California/New-York Coca-Cola/Coke Zero were 3.8 to 4.0 quite below the 29mcg (micro-gram) limit requiring a label per California's legislation. Granted Pepsi/Max/Zero's number were much higher.

To match the study I'd have to drink 650000 cans of coke.

For all we know the 2-3 cans a day I drink might be reduce my cancer rate from hormesis alone.

Yes, I do find Linux better, for software development at least. Running on OS X @work, I would much rather run Linux XFCE and not bother with homebrew and having issues with iTerm. The HiDPI is better on the Mac though and app widgets have a uniform look. Virtual desktop switching is too slow on OS X. I can easily switch with my scroll wheel in Linux and move windows from a workspace to another by dragging them around. Maximizing windows sucks badly on OS X, I almost never do it - it now hides the title bar. Finder and the file/open dialogs are pretty dumb: no address/path bar. I could go on for days.
No other than that it's meant to be used in much the same way and has some of the same developers working on it.

Trump wants to deport illegal immigrants, something that is actually following the law, and something that Obama has done by the hundreds of thousands (millions?).

Trump wants to temporarily suspend immigration from Muslim countries that are near ISIS controlled territory. Suspending immigration from dangerous hotspots is something that has been done regularly by previous administrations. Furthermore, non American citizens don't actually have any "rights" under American law.

Trump wants abortion laws to be decided by individual states. Women in each state will have their democratic voice about that issue at their state ballot box.

You can quibble about how he says things perhaps, but to say that his platform consists of removing rights of large cross sections of the American public is just wrong and ignorant.

Show HN: Semantic Text Analysis as a service
I haven't read Banks in a long time admittedly, but as you point out there's just something different about Liu's voice that I don't think I've read for a long time. Take for example things like this

>"One thing in particular that struck him was the total absence of landscapes, the mark of a mature aesthetic sensibility: hanging landscape paintings in a house situated in the Garden of Eden would be as pointless as pouring a bucket of water into the ocean".

There's some kind of "humanness" and scale to his writing that's really great. I think his characters are necessarily flat because his characters pretty much always are humanity looking outward, there's really no place for lots of individual development.
Why do you think that should be part of the curriculum?

I started my first programming job back in 2000 and was reading Cryptonomicon at the time and came across this little gem in the book:

"When Randy gets back to his cell, he sits crosslegged on his bed with the Walkman and begins dealing out the CDs like cards in a solitaire game. The selection is pretty reasonable: a two-disc set of the Brandenburg Concertos, a collection of Bach organ fugues (nerds have a thing about Bach)"

So I thought 'why not' and got a two-disc set of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. And sixteen years later I still listen to it when I'm working and have never tired of it. Great music for focus.

>What determines when a letter is silent? I don't actually believe pronunciation is absolute or fixed in time

Not sure what you mean here. There are rhotic dialects which lack a rule of 'r' deletion and non-rhotic dialects which don't. It has nothing to do with letters. It has to do with the presence or absence of a particular phonological rule. The relevant feature most certainly is fixed in time, in the sense that speakers of non-rhotic dialects consistently delete /r/ phonemes following a vowel whereas speakers of rhotic dialects do not.

>I think the standard accent just doesn't alias nearly as much among all the vowel sounds, and I think that's meaningful.

This is simply false. There are non-standard dialects that make more distinctions between vowels than standard dialects.
only point here is it was it was explicitly created for getting back an xml document (by microsoft, outside of any standards body, no less) while 99% of the time it's returning text or json, and in a web worker this XML tool literally can't return an XML document at all.
