You mention this is a "step up" from the Better Explained book, which was supposed to be an intro and went right over my head, still making lots of assumptions about what I should already know.

I'm a decent programmer, maybe above average, and I know I could understand this stuff if I found the right resources and put in the time, but I'm not sure what value it can provide me at this point.
If Facebook was the search engine and could do what Google's search results do for AMP pages for their own offering, you'd probably see a lot more complaints about it.

It seems like the Echo is a repackaged Siri, with an optional wake word. The Echo Dot lets you buy stuff through it much like the Kindle which seems to be Amazon's thing.
It would well be notable which ideas are wrong, no?

Sure I could've said, writing is physical. I just did, in another comment.
As another commenter said above, email security is crucial given the number of sites and services that rely on email for password resets.

I can't imagine switching to an email provider that didn't use 2FA for that very reason.
Your comment made me think about how to improve a synthesizer design. Even with a modular synthesizer, where in the natural state every component is tweakable, but has no effect (before you make any connections), there could be a way to provide feedback: e.g. have a light bulb whose intensity is somehow proportional to the effect the module has on the main out. Or have lighted cables that would allow to trace the signal from oscillators to the output (e.g. with a lighted dot that runs the length of the path).
There is a patch to make the nvme drive last a bit longer mentioned on the arch wiki (I've not tried it yet, tbh):

How about forcing you to type the password, behind a Mantle of Power if need be, such that they can decrypt the disk, without ever knowing the password?
Frege on Android
In the end he nails it without fully realizing it. The problem is that the iPhone is now everything for Apple. Having one single mega cash cow tends to result in the whole company organizing itself around that cash cow. Microsoft did it for Windows and Office and missed a generation or two of developers as a result.

This is why Apple is stagnating and only seems to care about phones and locking down that ecosystem. They are the new Nokia.

Of course Amazon and Google have their cash cows too, so they are not much different. Their home speakers are ways for them to more aggressively market and capture customer buying behavior. Personally I consider them deeply creepy for this reason and will not get one.

The true innovation is going to come from hungrier players: startups or older companies that are on the ropes like Apple once was. Microsoft is getting interesting again, and I'd also keep an eye on old PC vendors like Dell and HP or even old IBM. These companies now have nothing to lose.
I assume OP and most other people don't actually have incriminating evidence of things like murder on their hard-drives.
Couple of suggestions:

1) It seems like the site should always show the user's listed email, if one is public. Mine show's someone else email that I have merged many commits from, but my email is public.

2) maybe a confidence interval to show the percentage of commits with this email?

The typical way of doing garbage collection in C++ is via reference counting. This is the strategy used in the library by default.

However, this can be customized in the library. There is a brief description here: https://sinusoid.es/immer/memory.html

For example, one may choose between thread safe or thread unsafe reference counting (the later is much faster!). One may also plug in a conservative garbage collector, like `libgc` (https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc). While reference counting is often considered to be bad for immutable data structures, I found out that this is not the case. They have very interesting interactions with move semantics and _transients_ (this is a feature that is still on the design phase though). I should write more about this somewhere, maybe in a blog or even as a paper.
If we're able to survive on a planet with inhospitable temperatures and no ecosystem, why would climate change and ecosystem destruction be a problem? It's almost impossible to make our planet as inhospitable as Titan, where coming into brief contact with the air would leave grievous and permanent injury due to freezing, sunlight is so weak that it's basically incapable of supporting either solar power or agriculture, and there's no oxygen at all.

What cataclysm could kill life on earth if we have the ability to survive in a place like that?

Let's not be too harsh. This is a programmer in a place where we have all been before - we must remember this.

William has looked back after 2 years learning. He's blown away and is showing those that are slogging it out, 2 years away from that point.

The author will learn that, actually, you can do this every 1 - 2 years and still get blown away. Even more shocking is looking at that newbie code at 4 years in.

Fact is there is clear improvement. He's on the right trajectory. He's just in the stage where you feel unstoppable and perhaps hasn't yet been humbled by a few bad projects.

He should be applauded and welcomed. He has put in the time, improved significantly in 2 years and is on the path away from mediocrity.

In the end, many programmers stop learning after Uni or at least outside of formal training. We are, here, part of a pack that practices continuous skill improvement out of love for our craft and it looks like we have a new member.

To the author, keep at it mate - great progress!
>Changing the human nature however, is not trivial by any measure...

We don't have to change human nature. We just need to change human behaviour.

Changing human behaviour is very easy. Just replace every Ad currently in use with an eco friendly message.

Make eco damaging behaviours "uncool" and there goes our young generations eco damaging behaviours.

Facebook and google can do this in an year, if they put their minds to it...

The binaries are from remi repo. We have a template we provision from. I used the same template on each virtual machine.

PHP 5.6.28 (cli) (built: Nov 9 2016 07:04:38)

The binaries are the same on each virtual machine. Are there build optimizations for E3/V5 vs E5/V2 that could make such a difference?

Rather than each comment having a global score, each user sees comments scored based on their voting history. This means non-conforming opinions no longer get buried for everyone.

An upvote should mean "I'd like to see more of this" not "I'd like everyone to see more of this".

Mobile and web are touch native now. It's fantastic for mobile developers to be able to have a similar input method for testing as use.

I'm not sure what makes touch not poweruser and "hacker" friendly, but it's not the 80s anymore. Most of us have significant portions of our workload on the web and the web is, by and large, an extremely touch-friendly medium.
Washington took a long time to succeed as a city. As late as 1960, it was a minor city with little but Government offices, like Brasilia. The government fit inside Washington proper until WWII; building the Pentagon in Arlington was seen as radical at the time.

There are some purpose-built US state capital cities. Indianapolis, built in 1823 at the center of the state, now the largest city in Indiana.

The community is mostly technical people with a large focus on programming, operations, and hackery. Fewer people comment on articles but the comments are lower noise on average. In a discussion on community standards, one of the veterans explained what the site should and shouldn't be about. I think the post represents what I've seen on the page & in the comments pretty well. Also, we have invitation trees instead of throwaways to encourage people to play nice. Been a few cesspools but not many.

It also illustrates there's a huge difference in priorities and culture between Hacker News and Lobsters. Not to mention who is participating. So, I like to read and comment on both sites as they each give me something different. People also often repost HN articles on Lobsters, too, with the Lobsters comments sometimes raising points I didn't see over here or vice versa. These two are my favorite sites for technical discussion for now.

On business side, you might like the Lobsters spinoff called Barnacles. It's open invitation right now. They're like HN for bootstrappers instead of VC-funded startups. High signal to noise ratio with good stuff on marketing & case studies of interesting business. Clifford's series right now is a good reality check for people that think doing a SaaS startup will let them focus on being paid to write code. Great opening pic, too. ;)

"We need to find a way to transfer our brains(or brain data) into a machine"

It's debatable whether that's a "transfer" so much as the killing of one life and the creation of another one.

To me that would be more of a creation of another intelligent being, with some eerie similarities to humans.

I don't know, 10 hours of extra battery use on a laptop doesn't seem "absolutely negligible" to me.
Those "solutions" are only simple in theory, not in practice. Enacting that change would actually be exponentially harder than getting humans to Titan, IMHO. One requires massive social and economic change. The other requires sending a limited number of people to another part of the solar system. We roughly know how to do the latter but the former is on decidedly a longer timescale if it achievable at all.
But you can't export materials from it, thanks to that atmosphere:

What makes it self-limiting? There's always an opponent, someone completing for resources or whatever, that you can use this method to outgroup and purge. That's just one of many mechanisms driving it.

What are the specific counter-reactions you see that limit this as an ongoing/regularly exercised pattern?
Ah, Ok, I see now. Hmmm... I don't see a way to increase from 128GB to 256GB w/out also getting the touch screen. I would be perfectly happy with 13" @ 1920X1080 and no touch screen.

Ah, well. For the best, I don't really need a new laptop ATM.
This also highly influenced my decision to buy a Lenovo T460 which is silent (even no noise under load) and long lasting too and Linux runs well on it too and is a lot cheaper for the same hardware, but does not look that pretty ;)
Hello. This subtle "you seem different from my dated 80s image of hackers so you aren't one" game you're playing is boring, and if you check out the score no one is buying what you're selling.

It's faster to pop up to the screen to press a link and return to the home row than it is to pop to the trackpad and do the same unless the pointer is quite close to target. Both have similar repetitive strain implications.

This is spot on. One thing to add to it is to hang around people who are working through similar problems to you. The reason is that occasionally one of you will have found a tool or approach that you otherwise won't think to look for but which makes problems significantly easier to tackle. Examples from my path include strace, ag, TDD, DigitalOcean and immutable data structures.
Completely agree. It is a bit scary to see the enthusiasm of some people to just get off this planet..
538 made an interesting point about these kinds of biases. Essentially, polling errors are correlated. You can't unbias your estimate, but you can realize that if voters are reluctant to state their Trump preference in Wisconsin, then they are also likely to be reluctant in Michigan. If you know how correlated your errors are, you can properly account it in your own uncertainty, probably leading to a prediction that is closer to 50-50.

In places where public transit has dense enough coverage to make commute times reasonable, yes. But that's not most places where Americans are commuting.
Is it? NIST has been putting backdoors in recommended encryption standards. USA State Department also classifies strong cryptography as a munition. As far as I know we don't do similar things in Europe (yet?), but I could be wrong.
The problem is that creating a new project from scratch is not the best way to learn a new language.

Here's how I would do it:

1. Skim an introductory book. This will give you an overview of language features, syntax and libraries. And when you get stuck on something confusing you'll have some vague memory of "oh, chapter 7 covered that feature, let me look it up."

2. Read some well-commented, good code in the language in a problem domain your understand. E.g. if you're backend web developer find a web framework which is similar to one you've used in a language you know.

3. Modify some existing code in the language. This means you'll be able to tell if the code runs, you'll have examples to work off of, a testing setup you can hook in to, and so on.

4. Write some new code in a highly structured way where there are pre-existing examples for the task you're doing. E.g. use a high-level framework, or write a middleware plugin.

5. After all that you might be ready to make something completely from scratch.

We thought that as well. The E5 has 4 memory channels max bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The E3 has 2 memory channels max bandwidth of 34.1 GB/s.

But we see a dramatic difference in single core tests. Our virtual machines have 2 cores assigned and there's also a dramatic difference. I wouldn't think that 1-2 cores would saturate 2 memory channels nor 34.1 GB/s bandwidth. If we were testing all 8 cores on the E3 vs E5 8 core virtual machine, yeah maybe, but 1-2 cores?

The L3 cache is much larger on the E5 at 20MB Smartcache vs the E3 at 8MB Smartcache. That seems to be the more likely suspect but I don't know enough about how the cpu cache is used in relation to php to say for sure. Hopefully, someone else does :)

Ya you can say that, But IMO it all depends on the Topic.
While I do understand the author's point about the void - the particular example of the Amazon Echo and Google Home is something I really don't get. I find those devices invasive and irritating - I'm not sure I see the attraction.

That being said, I also hate talking on the phone so this may be more of an issue at interacting vocally with a device. It's somewhat lessened when I use FaceTime with my phone but only because I can see who I'm talking to.
Compression takes care of exactly this.
I don't disagree with you. However, I think the best solutions almost always address root issues, so I'd much rather Google more heavily penalized slow sites. That gets to the heart of the issue without harmful side effects. AMP does neither.

Some scientists (Hawking, etc...) consider evolution to apply beyond biological context. In that sense, any usage of technology to solve this problem could also be considered evolution.

When I look at Better Explained most of what I see is "a friendly guide to the logarithm" and "intuition for the law of cosines" (though Kalid does have some more advanced topics). I haven't seen his book so I can't comment on it.

My blog, on the other hand, tends to be more like "Here's an algorithm/theorem you can only find in research papers or graduate textbooks, proved, explained, and implemented." If you don't know proofs, most of my blog posts are too much too fast.

My book is trying to be in between the two. You have seen logarithms before and you know (or can look up) what similar triangles are. However, reading a typical math book is immediately too fast, the notation is too foreign, and the proofs seem to leave out a lot. My goal is to bring the reader in the fold w.r.t. notation and mindset and expectations (using programming analogies and leaning on the concepts you already understand well), showcase impressive applications in Python at the end of every chapter, and survey different areas of math relevant for software applications like machine learning and crypto.

I would be interested to know more about what specific topics you find difficult, maybe using Kalid's book as a reference?

What's more worrying for me is that entire product categories are either left abandoned (Mac Pro) or updated with inferior products (latest MacBook Pro), and it seems that Jony Ive's form-over-function approach encounters no opposition within the company. We lose good functionality for no good reason, other than products become "simpler" and "more pure".

This in itself would not be a problem for me, if it weren't for the lack of competition. Mac OS is so far ahead in terms of "getting things done" and "just working" that it isn't even funny. And yes, I do know, I also regularly use Windows (10) and Linux (Ubuntu 16 LTS). I feel locked in: both "competing" platforms are huge time-wasters for me. I know some people feel different — past discussions have shown that most people do fewer things with their computers than me (for example, if all you need is a web browser, Ubuntu is a great choice).

Now that Apple is abandoning me as a customer (I'm not the mainstream), I feel squeezed: where do I go from here? What's even worse is that the cost of entry is now so high: developing an environment that works, and then convincing developers to embrace it is nearly impossible. And the only companies that have the resources to do it (Microsoft and Google) do it badly.

We struggle to get people to move to Iowa because of the cold winters. The record low of all time is -47F, but the average low for January (our coldest month) is around 11F.

I don't see people signing up like crazy to move to Titan where they are trapped in doors all year round. I don't mean this as a joke either; considering mental issues like SADD and just general anxiety that many people suffer when trapped indoors, even in large spaces, for too long I think that solving the technical issues with moving to Titan will not be the hardest challenge to overcome.

Is there currently someone in UK prison for not giving up their password?

What if the police are wrong? Or like in Canada the police were trying to find the sources of journalists who wrote about corrupt police. And maybe in the US Trump's hate of journalists could mean something similar.

My desire for personal privacy doesn't mean I am hiding anything. Maybe I don't want anyone to read my poetry or see family pictures nothing illegal but certainly private.
So in other words, they didn't pay off the right people? Or maybe someone else paid more?

Or who knows, maybe this goes beyond simple corruption, and Uganda has made some other alliances, and wants US based NGOs out.
