There are a lot of use-cases for >16GB of RAM, but I'll share mine specifically. I develop network appliances for a "medium-to-large" enterprise. Specifically, these network appliances provide BGP, stateful packet filtering, and the other network services provided by our company's products.

When working on these appliances, I tend to spawn hundreds(close to 1000, but not more on my laptop due to RAM) of VM's, and each VM has between 4 and 48 virtual networks. Then all the appliances begin working, advertising and responding to BGP updates, setting up and tearing down VPN tunnels, and other test scenarios.

Right now, when I want to do this for network spec'd above size <N>, I can't use my laptop. I end up having to provision hosts in one of our data centers just to get my work done. If my MBP had 20, 24, or 32GB(best!) of RAM, that wouldn't be the case. Maybe in 4 or 5 years, 32GB wont' be enough either, but right now I'm only concerned with the immediate. If the MBP's had grown in maximum memory(like other laptop vendor's models), this would have been a great improvement to my workflow, and allowed me to keep it local.

There are probably tons of more common use-cases for wanting all that RAM out there, but that one in particular is mine.
It didn't confuse me but it did annoy me!

You're awesome!
mostly because the implementation is really tough - mostly lots of matricies and calculus. i recommend using sklearn.
There are many visions of "libertarian", and I do think that the decentralized version is more realistic than the anarcho-capitalist one. :)

The main problem I see with this vision is that, in order to achieve it, I feel that a large portion of humans would need to develop the ability to respectfully disagree with personal opinion differences, without resorting to conflict. This actually is difficult as it does not seem to be default human nature. Even Bitcoin showed this -- DDOS were reportedly used as a "weapon" against some of the forks.

I do agree that, whenever possible, it is a good idea to have some degree of state / municipal / etc. flexibility such that one can experiment with what works and what doesn't.

The atari 2600 had 128 bytes of RAM, and played all sorts of cool games.

I assumed first that this must be a typo for "128 kilobytes". But no, you are completely correct: 128 bytes. Wow!

It's actually higher than that. Those numbers are after the inflated pay of the higher ups. One company makes almost exactly that margin. The CEO makes over ten million a year. The board is doing good. The shareholders are doing great. They have perks like luxury jets, wine-and-dines, etc. All this while other people run it for them.

Gotta factor these things in to claims by companies talking razor-thin margins. There's more money to be made than they'd make you think. Although, it's still work to get there as you said.
You have access to all of the same namespaces that a native app does, and also access to all of the namespaces included in .net Framework Standard.

You can stay within .net Framework Standard and share that code between your Android/iOS/Windows Phone(lol) app, and reach into the native libraries when you need platform specific functionality.
Sure - do that. Make sure you have enough food on the table for your children and your girlfriend doesn't think your a fucking loser.

Sounds like a really inefficient data structure in stateful firewalls.
The primary way they're actually being rolled out in the USA is conspicuous consumption. Yes a bus would do the job for a tenth the price, or a taxi for half the price, just like a $250/month apartment in the highest crime part of the inner city technically does the same job as this new $5000/month apartment on the tram line. The point of stainless steel appliance kitchens for people who can't cook is it prevents people who can't afford stainless steel kitchens from living there, like poor people, minorities and such.

Likewise the rails are convenient enough because most social media holiness spiral destinations are permanent. So you can brag about how you're going to the progressive art museum, or a book signing at the library, or the performing arts center, or the hyper trendy college hipster bars (although the tram service stops at sundown to avoid actual drunks), but you can't use the tram to do prole stuff like go to work or school or the food store or doctors office because there's no tracks there, proles go away keep out. Trams are only for special rich people doing special rich people things, the kind that pat themselves on their backs for their egalitarianism on a regular basis, if you have to ask you don't belong there on the tram. Ideally there would be no icky poor people anywhere along the tram rails, nothing but rich white faces as far as the eye can see. Maybe they could build a fence around the whole neighborhood, or just have the police keep the riff raff out of our special area for special people.
When sarcasm rubs up against incoherence, who can say where the border actually lies?
That's why this (or something like it) is a good solution. Publishers can still send emails, but users can decide they prefer to read them through RSS.
The obvious application for this is targeted ads (the porn industry is a mass of crosslinked affiliate marketing)
Just make sure you realize that there is a life out there.

You're missing out. How much longer do you have left to live? You need to hang out with your kids and GF. Life is really short.
> More like "people are pre-emptively concluding, without ever having so much as been in the same room as a new MBP, that it is the antithesis of everything they need from a computer".

Many of the complaints are about plain old hardware specs, especially RAM and the USB-C connectors. You don't need to hold a MacBook in your hands to understand how much RAM it has and how many dongles you'll need to buy. Same for complaints about the price.
But the poor people thing is the main thrust of the article.

>"People who are too poor to own a car," Shoup writes in the University of California's ACCESS Magazine, "pay more for their groceries to ensure that richer people can park free when they drive to the store."

You could argue that the article is in itself overly sensational but the title is accurate.

It didn't help that the argument order of some functions were specifically written to be used in backticks (like `andThen`). So I had to litter `flip` everywhere to use the pipe syntax. Evan flipped the arguments in 0.18 and now I can just `:%s/flip andThen/andThen`.

macOS has a built-in option to remap caps-lock to escape. I haven't used it yet (I'm not a VIM user, so I mostly just use it to cancel dialogs), but I've ordered the new MBP and it's the first thing I'll do. Should take care of that issue and even improve ergonomics.

I should have remapped caps-lock ages ago, I never use it, but haven't had the incentive until now.
$100m in ARR is a company valued at nearly $1b...so yeah, this seems like an extreme outlier.
It seems that ZyWall USG 50 requires less than 10 Mbit/s of traffic to go totally braindead due to CPU load. - This attack works like a charm, and 10 Mbit/s is quite much less than reported 180 Mbit/s.

There's generic name for these attacks: Resource consumption attack.

There're some external GPU enclosures with Mac-Compatible Nvidia cards that connect via USB-3. None of that is officially supported, and it is expensive, but based on cursory searches I did, it seems to work for people. It's still expensive and can only be used when you're at a desk, but those are imho fair compromises.

Now, I'd love for Apple to release an official external GPU (like Blazer did with the Blazer Stealth) but I highly doubt they'd do it.

Maybe the biggest blocker for this project is the nations involved. Can such degree of cooperation be made between nations that have huge political differences, violent history and territorial claims between each other?

Other than that, this could set the precedent for more regional integration, which is awesome.
There's also a side-benefit if you're like me. I think the idea of a synthetic diamond is way more interesting than one we dug up. To me it's the difference between "hey look at this shiny rock I found" and "look at what beauty our technology has allowed us to create"
The only performance problems I've seen were created by people who don't understand when React triggers a redraw, thus rerendering a 1MB image on every keyboard keystroke.

Some adult guy preferring to draw pokemon avatars and doing some small things without value over more or less challenging things.

I prefer working on stuff which make sense in some way and i don't get much enjoyment out of little strange things i do/did. I deleted also a lot of stuff because they were bad/worthless. Blog articles, images, 2 small games, small code repositories.

But at the end everyone decides for themselves what meaning they give there lives.

A normal/good paying job is a least for me quite relevant: Family, nice house and having enough money when i retire. Sounds boring, probably is but i gave up my illusion of becoming a great indie game developer or <other dream>.

How would C++ work for cross-platform development? Would you use a framework like Qt, or write platform-specific frontends?
C++ tries to put features in the standard library instead of the core language whenever possible. The downside is they can't add new syntax.

Former email support manager here.

People seeking technical support often resist redirection once they've been assured, through direct contact, that they have the attention of someone knowledgeable.

To put it plainly: your solution doesn't work. Our team was responsible for the tech support for a very generically named Usenet service. Very often, people looking for the .com version of our .net service would email us continually looking for a resolution to something or other. No amount of explanations deterred them and we often had to stop responding.

Funny, today on the Drudge Report, I read that we've had record cooling in the past 8 months.

There's a large online anti-global warming movement that needs to be addressed. Actually, there's an anti-everyhing movement (e.g vaccines). The general public is not going to know who to believe.

Do more people read Drudge or Scientific American?
I've been waiting for 0.18 in anticipation because I had heard we might get server rendering.

Instead a bunch of language and syntax that I enjoyed was removed from the language, but I get better bug reports? The export button is broken unless I click "resume" which I find pretty odd.

I have to say I'm really disappointed, every release they just remove language features.
Additionally, I think CZ has negative connotations that moissanite hasn't acquired yet. There's been longer for sitcoms to make jokes like "the jerk got me a cheap cubic zirconium!", which isn't the case for moissanite.

It's perhaps more stark with the CT scanners mentioned in the article.

They pay off the capital cost in 1 year. If you figure they need two imaging technicians on site 24 hours a day, the labor to staff the machine is roughly 6 * $200,000, or $1.2 million per year. If they average 1 scan per hour (a scan can take as little as 5 minutes), the labor cost of those techs is $140 per scan.

If it costs more than $1 million dollars to service the machine per year (the machines cost less than that new), the service cost is $140 per scan.

Hospitals routinely charge $2000+ for CT scans.
The impression that schools and media gives of how "science" is being implemented these days is inaccurate enough that I would call it propaganda. The reality is that the research literature is filled with over 90% junk, and a small percent of value, just like everything else.

The funding and publication system is set up to force this junk percentage as high as the public will tolerate, so I do not think this "positive-spin" type of propaganda is a good thing.
Thank you. That's exactly my point. If no envy exists, why stop someone from creating soverign territories. It is no wonder Keynes said, 'In the end we're all dead'. He might as well have added, '...so long as it is all of us'
This isn't about "showing off morality." It's about making the tech community welcoming to people of all genders. Your attitude is part of the reason that doing so is so difficult.
They'd drive quite a lot of junk miles, which is virtually non-existant for public transit. And wouldn't have several passengers either. Taxis don't have economy of scale passengers-wise either, but they try to minimise junk miles a lot. Sometimes event rejecting travels to certain destinations or charging 2x to cover return.

I guess bottom line would end up ~ the same as current car sharing services. Cheaper if you want occasional use, but more expensive as daily driver. And availability issues at peak times.
If you're in the US I would consider forming an LLC in your home state and use that as a catch all entity for your projects. If any of the projects take off you can spin that project off into a different entity type (if you want). LLCs are mostly painless to create & file taxes for.
>have you incorporated?

My state LLC

>Do you pay quarterly taxes?

Absolutely, mail a check with the coupon based on income earned.

>Do you list it as other, unreported income on your returns?

Schedule C and income from business, you pay Self-Employment Tax, SEPs are nice to push off the income to retirement and see a tax benefit if it's supplementary.

I also carry worker's comp and liability insurance, pricey, annoying to setup and deal with but worth it from my perspective.
A sign that there's plenty, at least. The UK does have more of a weight issue than other parts of the world though. I'd say it's mostly cultural, with beer and relatively cheap yet bountiful food being the main culprits. Takeaway food / culture is another factor. I've always found the UK to be somewhere in between the US and western Europe in a lot of cultural ways (wrt food, TV adverts, etc)
Been there done that. It was that horrible Windows'95 boot to clean DOS mode, which sometimes got messed up while renaming files and stuck in boot loop. Luckily I knew how to fix it. But it was getting really tiring after helping a few totally n00bs with that issue. The Windows problem wasn't connected to my application in anyway. But Windows recommended using clean DOS for the application, and that's why people often got into that MS trap.
Yes. It's called "tree". Works rather well. The only problem is that it produce a very poluting di-oxygen compound and also some very dangerous dihydrogen monoxide compound.

I agree. It's disappointing to see a news like this. Mentor Graphics did a really great job on their verification tutorials that had done a great benefit to my career. I'm not sure Synopsys is winning the competition though. I just hope some great startup would emerge that's willing to support FOSS or rather some group of people willing to put their effort in creating the next generation and yet competitive and free EDA tools that I'll be interested to join.
Science needs another ally as well - we also need wholesome support of science. Not just pick and choosing to support a particular ideology, liberal or conservative. For some (my friends on the right, whom I understand and have empathy for more than your average HN reader), scientific thought unfortunately has been so closely tied to liberal ideologies that middle America sees as destructive to families and local economies. Additionally, there is growing intolerance for scientists to hold opinions of faith or conservative ideals in our universities. This is unacceptable. (This is a great article on the matter http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/08/opinion/sunday/a-confessio...)

In short, we need to stop treating that being "scientific" and "liberal" go hand-in-hand. They don't.

Is OpenStack Heat Really Compatible with CloudFormation?
I'm by no means perfectly fluent in Irish, but I find it incredibly useful to have a language no-one understands to speak when travelling to maintain some privacy. My wife and I were buying clothes in a market Kathmandu some years ago, while haggling we were able to strategise without the stall holder knowing a word of what we were saying. Once we were done (and had acquired some nicely priced clothes) the guy took us aside and asked what language we were speaking - turned out he'd learned off basic vocabulary (esp numbers) in a ton of the languages popular with tourists but had been left baffled by us!
If he had hidden it, and it was never recovered, then it would be like a really cool 'Copenhagen mystery' - the 'lost Nobel Prize'.

They could have a little festival every year to look for it ...

Nowhere did willhslade say that it does. He said that comparing Knuth's style to Torvalds's isn't very enlightening because they are fundamentally engaged in different activities.

Comparing Knuth to Torvalds and saying "look, you don't have to be an asshole to be a great leader" is like comparing Usain Bolt to Dean Karnazes and saying "look, you don't have to be really muscular to be a great sprinter." The comparison is pointless because Karnazes isn't a sprinter just like Knuth isn't leading major software efforts.

Find a successful leader of a large-scale piece of software who doesn't have a reputation for being an asshole and use them for the comparison.
Same here. I have a few prefixes that I allow, so that randomly guessing an address doesn't just arrive at my inbox.

As you point out, the ability to blackhole any of these one-off addresses makes the approach a great way to deal with spam and quasi-spam. It's a shame that so few people are set up with the necessary software or infrastructure, so it remains a bit of a fringe approach.

I particularly enjoy the reaction of some retail employees when they think, for a moment, that my e-mail address includes the name of their store. "Your email address is 'abcpeetscoffee'?" "Well, yeah, for this particular transaction it is."
