Atheros 802.11n chipsets are the only WiFi devices that don't require any proprietary drivers or firmware (since 2008). Consequently, they're the first and sometimes only devices to benefit from new features added to the Linux WiFi stack. Qualcomm-Atheros 802.11ac chipsets require closed-source firmware like all 802.11ac chipsets, but the QCA firmware is actively maintained by people who have source access under NDA, and they generally try to make sure that the firmware exposes the functionality the open-source Linux driver wants. Atheros and Qualcomm-Atheros chipsets are also the most common WiFi chipsets with open-source drivers to find in routers and access points, so those drivers get QA and widespread testing in both client and AP roles.

Intel WiFi is in a lower tier of support, where you can't count on having access to the full capabilities of the hardware (eg. apparently power management hasn't been working for quite some time, and AP mode is only available on 2.4GHz). But at least Intel WiFi drivers are open-source, so it's clearly a better choice than Broadcom.

For someone like me, who just needs a logo, perhaps based on the project name, but doesn't care about the design so much, this has been perfect.

Recall that at the time Java was set to make Windows irrelevant. Microsoft had a massive success, via XML, in derailing this future.

To explain a little, the Sun position was "use Java to write everything; then it all talks together nicely". But folks realised they could use XML to tie different pieces together and relegated Java to the server. Yes, there were other other ways to interop, eg CORBA, but they were ugly, expensive and heavyweight.

Interestingly, things seem to be settling down in the JS community. In the past, every time a library lacked a particular feature, the community suddenly abandoned it. At the same time, every new version release had all sorts of horrible breaking changes, that made upgrading a very scary task.

Now, the JS community seems to be thinking more about stability and backwards compatibility. That's very welcome, at least from the perspective of this grumpy server-side developer.

Funny I still see Windows desktops everywhere.

Actually I think Web 2.0 has hurt GNU/Linux more than Windows, in what concerns the desktop.

A browser doesn't need UNIX, apparently some people even run it almost bare metal.
It may not be his money (it's the business's money), and the goal of the business isn't to spread well-being. He just said he feels good about it because it does some to spread that well-being, and it does.

I really see nothing wrong with hiring remote workers with compensation at a rate that's acceptable to them. It's not taking advantage of anything--they choose to live in small towns with a lower cost of living.
Mm how about a polite, forgiving person who is decently well off?

I would say that it pays to be forthright, but understanding. Granted there are exceptions.

Bear in mind that one person's "unvarnished truth" might come from a lack of experience or high expectations that are difficult to meet at scale and in a commercial environment.

There are generally a lot of tradeoffs being made in companies. A "tire fire" of php might be compensated for by testing and deployment practices or hell it might just be a fun place to work if you can live with the mess.

On the other hand, you might have "architect driven design" where everything is a diamond on paper but the implementation is 8 kinds of design pattern wrong.

Or you might have a great technical team and codebase but no actual value proposition (the funny part is that success itself invites people and pressures that unsuccessful products don't have - some of the best places I've worked had unsuccessful products but great management and teams... once success and revenue kick in, suddenly there are a lot more suits and stakeholders)...

Or you could have some kind of situation where not only is the work pointless, the organisation is so utterly dysfunctional that... you'd definitely leave if it didn't pay so damn well.

One person's "super messed up" is another person's "this is exactly where I want to work". Some people function well in less structured environments and some in more... so what is truth versus just a perspective?

(agree there are exceptions where the truth must be told. I draw the line at not getting paid...)
Instagram is where we reflect the interesting life of the kate spade new york girl through relatable social moments which highlight the products that are characters in her story

I think you can work up a good lather of doomsaying from just that quote, but it's all been said before -- so it's not really a new development. It reminds me indirectly of David Foster Wallace's essay E unibus pluram: television and U.S. Fiction:

It's true that there's something sad about the fact that young lion David Leavitt's sole descriptions of certain story characters is that their T-shirts have certain brand names on them. But the fact is that, for most of the educated young readership for whom Leavitt writes, members of a generation raised and nourished on messages equating what one consumes with who one is, Leavitt's descriptions do the job. In our post-'50, inseparable-from-TV association pool, brand loyalty is synecdochic of identity, character.

Appart from Slackware (is that still the case?), I don't know any distro which comes without package manager.
Note that async functions always return native promises. So if you like your fast or sugary promise libraries, you can't make async functions return those promises. You are stuck with the native promises, which, as of now, are pretty slow in almost all engines in comparison to the heavily optimized promise library bluebird.

I guess we should just hope that engines will optimize their own promise implementations. This might not matter much in front-end apps, but absolutely does for Node apps.

Other than that, I believe it is time JS gets:
1. An actually useful try/catch (with pattern matching on the catched errors)
2. Standard stack traces across all engines

Those two will really help async/await.
I think that's what they are in the industry right now. We all use the same vocabulary, and it makes sense to share a lot, since we're mostly doing the same thing.

The slides' point seems to be that there's this other concept, which is that each project should develop a language for speaking of the project, perhaps more specific to the project. But also not just a list of "things people use currently". Your new projects could include completely new design patterns.

So the idea when starting a project is :

when designing, define concepts that you will use a lot. For example, you might be using a lot of iterators. But for the designers of Angular, you're working with promises, with controllers, with scopes. Use this language when trying to frame problems, and people will build off the same base.

When people start coding, everyone starts off the same foundation. But that foundation doesn't need to just be "the design patterns from all over". You can have your own design patterns, more specific for your project. Have your best developers choose the right design patterns for the project, and even the most junior developers will be guided by this when working on the details.
I feel I have to point out that there are big problems that can be considered well by a group of experts in excruciating detail, that a rolling release does not help.

Specific example: RDFa vs microdata. One was well understood, the other made up on the spot. One played well with a huge amount of preceding standards, the other... meh.

While bleeding edge fashion brings great and new things to a culture, it also risks local maxima - a point where you cannot evolve further without negatives.

Examples: Blockbuster vs netflix, Rails new vs computer science; and dinosaurs vs mammals (you cant eat us all despite jurrassic park, you giant chickens!!)
Well, I was also thinking about (but didn't write) that most mission-critical systems aren't written in javascript :) ... but rather something "ancient" like ada or pascal.
> In your opinion what hurts morale more? One big round of layoff, or multiple smaller rounds?

Both hurt morale.

I've seen many rounds of redundancy and layoffs in UK companies and both the huge layoff rounds and the slowly trimming back everywhere.

With the big rounds, the "We'll only do this once so we'll do it big and won't do it again" is never true. The whole company knows it's just time but at least you can prepare.

The axe is on a pendulum and if you give it a lot of momentum and swing from a great height it will swing back in good time and take off another chunk of the company.

With the small rounds of denying there is an issue and trimming a person from each team, it feels like you are being hunted and it's easy to walk around and see that the company isn't doing enough to address whatever the issues are, it's too cautious.

The axe is on a pendulum and if you only swing it a little the cadence is much higher and it will swing often and constantly slice of a little.

The axe is on a pendulum, once it starts swinging it will swing again. It never swings just once.
Actually I'm with the GP: A large number of videos I cared about were unwatchable - and the reason was usually low key background music from say an uploaded twitch stream.

In other words: I don't (usually, it's quite rare) go to YT for music and still I really believe that this change improves my usage.

I don't bother with proxy solutions, so this change is most welcome to me.

In my search for a powerful laptop I came across the ASUS ROG Strix line.
They have all the specs one expects plus gtx 10x graphics (there is a huge generation leap from 9x to 10x so buying one of the more mainstream laptops with a 9x cards does not feel right)
Some of the models are slim enough and its cheaper than its competitors with a similar price.

The only problem is that is way too flashy. Black and orange the the wasd keys are also bright orange. Right now I'm pondering to ignore the looks and go for it or wait for something cleaner to come out

The small layoffs are not usually done for morale reasons; they're done to avoid having to give a WARN notice [1].

Even in cases where a WARN notice is not legally required, it is a PR problem to be admitting that you're laying staff off. People gossip, they think your products must not be good, new candidates have second thoughts, etc. But if you're just firing 1-2 people a week, then (you hope) nobody notices and you can keep putting on a happy public face.

Thiel and Schmidt have two very different worldviews, they had a debate on capital 'P' progress a few years ago.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsXFwy6gG_4

Many people find Thiel's argument hard to believe, especially if they are aspirational middle class types. This is because normal people have a chronocentric bias. Of all our biases, this one is probably the strongest of all.

If you find Thiel's position hard to believe, it is worth examining what our grandparents thought about the future.

I am at the point where I consider the optimistic narrative (ex-computation) utterly without supporting evidence. It is all PR and marketing.

Here is one example. Consider the discovery of DNA. Important scientifically. And all the resultant research into genetics since.

But tell me what relevance any of it has had to the average person? Have we new drugs? More effective treatments? Cheaper medicine?

This is a minor heresy among the 'educated' but to me the answer is clearly no.

Think about that for a minute or two. Either I am mad, or in half a century there has been no measurable effects. If the second is true then why do we believe CRISPR is going to revolutionize everything outside? The discovery of DNA itself, the Human Genome Project. The cheaper shotgun sequencing. These should have had enormous material effects on society. It does nothing!

Food prices should be much lower. They are static or increasing.
Timber should be of higher quality. It is actually much lower than before.
Any non-niche new building materials out of biotech. I am unable to identify any.
New breeds of animals for livestock, pets, where are they? The farmers I know use a process mostly identical to their ancestors from several thousand years ago, only a little more streamlined thanks to more specific egg/sperm selection.

Yes you can give me niche applications and cool stuff in a lab somewhere, but I'm asking about people's offices, homes, on the streets.

The fact is that we've been talking about vat-grown meat and lab-grown replacement organs for 50 years, and they aren't here yet. Do we have to wait for another 50?
After reading other posters, I believe the difference is similar to how terms
"axiom" and "theory" function in mathematics.
Scala is doing it exactly as in JS. We have async/await as a macro library transforming the code to a FSM. The original author posting this probably didn't know that, under-the-hood, await doesn't really block in Scala nor in JS.
Not directly paid, but certainly indirectly paid using billions of dollars of tax-payers money in the form of corporate welfare payments and fiscal policies designed to boost profits. Tax breaks and various direct and indirect subsidies by government allow his company to make the profits that allow him to be paid as much as he is.

This means that anyone who believes there is a free market economy operating anywhere in the world is gravely mistaken. Arguably, the case of this janitor making lots of money is really not about public ownership at all. The public (via the government) effectively support both private and public sectors almost equally in a lot of cases.

Here's the situation in the UK at least:

It seems to me one of the problems with machine learning in the nlp domain is that language concepts are mutable, but at varying degrees. In the dog/cat example used in the original post, the degree of mutability is very low, given the concept of a dog and a cat are rooted in the physical world.

However, consider more abstract human concepts or language that is new and changing often. Ironically, much of the language used to describe AI falls into this category (and thus subject to confusion among humans).

Any sort of machine learning algorithm would need to include some sort of 'adaptability' parameter that could tell the machine when to discard the current concept of the word and try forming a new one. This would need to be based on checks in both immediate context of the phrase, and related phrases.

Disclaimer: My knowledge of machine learning is limited to passive reading, so this may already be a part of any nlp algorithm, or I'm just completely off base. So please consider my comments are coming from the perspective of an outsider!
