Hmm, I don't remember any such prototype/demo. However, the NVDA remote protocol is pretty simple, JSON messages over a TCP socket. Putting those messages on a websocket should be fairly straightforward. With the web speech API landing in Firefox as well as Chrome[0] you could even synthesize the speech at the client. There would still be the problem of sending special key sequences. Not just ins/capslock, but also shortcuts that are normally capturen by the browser/OS might get tricky.

Feel free to contact me if you want to develop an NVDA remote server in Elixir. I need a real project in Elixir to do more work in the language. I did some small Elixir projects and like it a lot.

Yeah if you compare 2 core vs 4 core you will have these results. You keep comparing different models. Sure there low voltage or mobile versions but core tech is the same in all models from given generation.

Intel Core i5-7200U vs.Intel Core i5-6200U difference is what you will expect - 10-15% in most benchmarks

There is some variation but naming convention is better than Qualcomm where 820 vs 821 do not give you any information. AMD naming conventions is also useless when they release the same chip multiple times. nVidia sometimes release new generation of chips where low end models are in fact previous generation with different names. ARM naming convention is useless as well... Intel compared to rest in industry have in fact good naming conventions.

I am not Intel fanboy, they cut huge premium on theirs chips, still have crappy drivers in Linux and release buggy chips.
I guess suddenly it will seem like there are a disproportionally large number of mixed couples in the area.
Good luck finding someone willing to pay to have squillions of kilometres of above ground power lines buried.

I can't see any valid argument for going through the hoops of an LFS in the authors article.

For educational purposes it's acceptable but still less effective than simply creating an educational environment on an existing distro.

Acceptable only because you won't have as much exposure and therefore security maintenance won't need as much of your time as it would in a distro used for servers or clients.

Still though, my point is that there are very little valid reasons to build your own distro these days. To distribute a certain set of tools and defaults you have the option to base your distro off of Debian or Ubuntu for example. Fedora has great options for making "spins" of their distro.

And the things the author mentions as custom bash and custom nano for example, those things could just as easy be in a virtual environment using aliases, cgroups or a number of other features available in any Linux distro or shell.

Let's call it what it is, three dead trolls had the right of it; "setting it up is half the fun". That's exactly what this project was for the author. A fun but largely pointless exercise in setting up a Linux distro.

New distros should bring something more unique to the market than just a toolset. A properly made package manager, albeit a major change, should easily be deployed on any distro.

Most distros even have well developed support for custom kernels, as long as you package according to their guidelines.
Thanks, seems about the only way.
I had a similar problem a few years ago selling an old trusty graphing calculator. It's still leaves a sour taste in my mouth. The auction was for the United States only, but I kept getting a guy from Russia he wanted to bid on it. So I made the mistake of letting him. And he won the auction. And he paid and I sent it to Russia. And then he claimed he never received it and eBay gave him his money back so quickly, and I never got my calculator back. I've done international shipments for many years all over the world, and this is the only one that got "lost". So you do the math.

EBay has so disproportionately put the bias in favor of buyers that it is a true market for scams.

- The ability to more easily describe the page to a sighted person.

If you're concerned about emergencies: for $38 you get a self-contained LED camping lantern that lasts for 30 days on a single charge [1] at the lowest brightness, or 2 days (off at night) on full brightness. For a tiny fraction of the price of a Tesla-based emergency power solution, you could buy two of those for every room, plus an RV cooking gas burner and a big propane tank that covers heating, making food and hot water for washing. Hell, even a big diesel generator would be cheaper (not to mention it's readily available).

I think that path still exists, especially in my native America, the problem is once you go beyond math and theoretical physics to experimental physics, most chemistry and biology etc. you need serious money and/or stature to arrange access to expensive instruments to do the work, and getting either generally means getting your Ph.D. first (although at least in the US you'll get paid to get it after you pay to get your bachelor's degree).

And you're probably not going to be able to do that, especially legally, if you live in a crowded apartment in a city, plus the days of doing experiments at a country home, or with very simple apparatus albeit in a formal lab like the University of Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory, seem to be largely over due to the picking of all the low hanging fruit, although I'm sure there are niches where this isn't true, or quite so bad.

Some of this will depend on resourcefulness, like finding bargains on used equipment, but that circles back to first being a part of the scientific community so you've got a network to find out about those opportunities in the first place.

If weight really is the most important aspect of a laptop may I ask why you are even bothering with an MBP? Seems kind of silly.

Even with the relatively large difference in size and weight from my last one (mid 2009, which I think might've been the last year they made 17"), I've never found myself thinkin "man I'm glad I dont have to walk around with that extra 2.5 lbs in my bag anymore". It's definitely alot sexier, but at some point can't they be satisfied with their success in slimming it down, rather than making terrible design decisions to shave off another 0.3 inconsequential pounds?

Personally I long for the keyboard of my '09 mbp and would love for Apple to stop obsessing over making their already thin enough shit thinner. I would gladly accept the formfactor of those older models if it meant I didn't have to deal with the miserable keyboards they're using these days, and had the option to increase my ram sometime down the road. Typing on my 2015 mbp feels like I'm drumming my hands on a countertop.
I restricted my shipping options. Still got bids from other countries.

I required immediate Paypal. There is nothing to enforce this. Got two nonpaying winners.

Ebay auctions are completely worthless. Ebay could fix these problems: actually screen bids by country. Take a bid deposit. They obviously do not care about fixing it.

If I were to sell on ebay again, I would never use an auction. But even without auctions, people can still run scams. Forget it. For a small seller ebay is not worth it. Maybe businesses find it worth it to deal with all the crap on ebay.

It's not ideal, but eBPF works now, and it works on all the new kernels, which is more than can be said for any of the DTrace on Linux projects. It looks like eBPF is becoming that unified solution (mostly: ftrace and a few others still exist, but eBPF is the most capable, and is picking up steam). As for being different from what the other Unixes did, that's why I was in favor of developing a frontend that supported D, so that we could at least have a shared language with the rest of unixland.

>My question to Brendan was why he couldn't just take or enhance the existing DTrace codebase to do the front-end for BPF?

Brendan didn't answer, so I don't know, but my guess was that turning the interpreter into a compiler would require a near-complete rewrite.

The only reason people pushed this whole "execution is everything" meme is that there were far too many very lazy, uninformed people who thought that their vague "brilliant idea" could make them millions on its own without any real effort on their part.[0] Saying that execution is what matters was the easiest way to get these jokesters out of the room. Now the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction and you have a lot of really silly startups run by intelligent people who were told by every high status person in the valley that ideas don't matter.

Implicitly, there's an empirical claim being made on both sides here, either good ideas primarily drive success or good execution. If you had a formal way to measure both, you could just run the numbers and tell fairly easily. We should always be striving to take the guesswork and tea leaf reading out of things.

Why do you think the firmware would be capable of programming DRAM refresh rate to a heretofore unheard of frequency? This capability does not exist in the memory controller.

It might be hard to get the GPU to hammer memory hard enough because of the caches (http://wccftech.com/intel-skylake-gen9-graphics-architecture...). Maybe with glBufferData in DRAW mode it would force uncached access, depends if the graphics core cache snoops the address bus (coherent) or not, in which case it could be tricked. However the AMD Fusion docs certainly seem to indicate it is possible, and significantly higher read bandwidth than from the CPU (http://developer.amd.com/wordpress/media/2013/06/1004_final....). Indeed, it makes me wonder why (given the repetitive read pattern required for updating VBOs) whether the system instability people have seen before is not due to the GPU doing unintentional rowhammer.
> The big difference is because of air conditioning and baseboard heating (...)

Which makes you wonder why there is not as much high-profile attention on A/C (and to a lesser extent electrical heating) as being a problem worthy of rethinking by Silicon Valley (perhaps even ahead of solar, in North America).
True, though I think this is a dick move:

"If you cancel your account as a guest, any future reservations you have will be refunded according to the hosts' cancellation policy."

So, if you don't agree to this demand by AirBnB that wasn't on the table when you agreed to your booking, then you just lose your money.

If AirBnB was fair about this then it would let the user off the hook and pay out any cancellation fees/compensation out of its own funds. It's not like many people aren't going to agree anyway.

If the platform controls how and when the work is done, doesn't allow subcontracting, and is in full control of the price, then that sounds like the platform isn't a middle man but an employer.

> That means pretty much any added-value marketplace is now considered employer in UK, thus the whole model becomes infeasible.

No, only ones that have a large degree of control over how the work is done and over the interaction with the customer, including all pricing. Fiverr, for example, really doesn't meet these and nor would etsy.

And really, the requirements on employing workers isn't much. Paid holiday (pro-rata, there are already easy ways of calculating the amount owed to irregular workers), rest breaks, minimum wage and possibly a contribution to a pension scheme. These are all requirements of small employers at the moment so it's not a huge thing.

I get why you're saying this, but go-to-c bindings are not fun and that's how you'd have to talk to the hardware.
Phone batteries get hot, but they have plenty of thermal connection with the environment. This is nowhere close to the magnitude of a heat problem you would have within a massive multicell pack, where the direct environment of one hot cell would be a few other hot cells. Active cooling is not something you add to a pack the size of a Tesla to make it survive a few more cycles, it needs it to survive the first cycle. But sure, once you have active cooling you might just as well try to make it powerful enough to create an environment that is even better than that of a single cell phone battery. Just don't hook overboard and have the cooling power demand cut noticeably into total cycle efficiency.

About cycle depth: Does Tesla come with an UI where you can do something along the lines of "I need to go 200 miles the day after tomorrow, do whatever you think is best for the battery in the time until then"? Or at least a setting "feel free to optimize from what you learnt about my driving patterns, except when I press the prepare-long-distance button"?

If not, most of that battery management technology will just be about not being worse than a single cell system. In that case, the difference in perceived durability mostly comes from a wildly different balance between depth of discharge and expected lifetime. Phone makers are quite happy with your batteries getting worse after two years, so they drive them over a wide voltage range, Tesla is in a market where they can't do that.

I suspect that drivers want their "fully charged" just as much as phone users, but I might underestimate Tesla/owners here. Maybe "battery wisdom" just needs some time to sink in. Sony is advertising a "top off the battery only just before the morning alarm goes off", this is the right direction (to bad that the new compact is a downgrade)
That 36 cents also seems to be a direct salary cost, there would be other overheads to employment.

And I note that the biggest cost is diesel. I wonder if self driving trucks would be more fuel efficient?
That'll learn me for skim reading and cherry-picking to suit my narrative.

I wasn't aware of that, but of course the destination is still leaked via RCPT. If the server is going to provision keys (and presumably thus escrow them), this is strictly less private than using server-to-server encryption.

And this ruling won't in any way affect that. There's nothing in the definition of worker that has regular hours.
What does "radio silent" mean? You should give them a week, send an email query (still interested in me?), and wait a week for a response. This covers any anomalies on their side such as illnesses and emergencies, and let's them know you are still interested.

Beyond that, You don't hire someone based solely on a coding challenge. What else happened during the interview process? What questions did you ask? "Why are you hiring?" is a good one to get the feel for who you're dealing with.

If you've tried to make contact in good faith, given them time, and not received a reply after a while, flush 'em and move on. Name names if you want, however if the company is small, you've just created an avenue for anyone involved to reverse-engineer who you are, and respond here also naming names. Your anger might be justified, but don't shoot yourself in the foot because of it.
I write a fair amount of low latency code in go, but none of it is hard real time. Average throughput of a few microseconds (for my simple workloads) with spikes of milliseconds here and there is what I tend to find. Fine for a lot of things but I'd be hesitant to use it for high fi audio apps that are very sensitive to latency. Humans may only be able to notice 50ms, but if you're chaining DSP you can end up with a fair bit of variance in your processing pipeline.
There is quite a bit of work being done on solar powered airconditioning. I experimented myself with this about 10 years ago using two back-to-back Stirling engines with the first powered by the sun and the second being run in reverse to cool a working fluid.

This has nothing to do with working flexibly. Worker status has absolutely no requirements about regular hours. If they regulated the hours worked they'd be much more likely to be classed as employees instead.
