> That's not for the manufacturer to decide. Python 3 is like Coca Cola declaring that the New Coke is all people should drink, and stopping production of classic coke.

That is within the rights of a manufacturer though. Coca Cola can continue to produce classic coke because it isn't any more or less complicated to produce than New Coke. The PSF's opinion is the new features they develop are best developed on top of the core changes in Python3, and that adding new features to Python2 is too expensive to maintain in addition to Python3.
I feel like the cases are too different to work.
True, but what has been accomplished with the Linux Sunxi community is a shortening of that loop to bring up new boards with modern kernels, the Pine A64 for example took only a year to gain support[1], and that was around the time they actually started shipping in quantity. Additionally, many of the ethernet drivers, HDMI PHY drivers, Cedrus (provides H.264 & H.265 decoding @ 10bit) are reusable on new chips like the H5[2].

I would not expect much from Allwinner directly, but at this point there is a sizable ecosystem and mainline support for most of their chips, which can't be said for most other ARM vendors. Another aspect of this is Allwinner sells most of their chips thru multiple business units, with the silicon being exactly the same, just what is silkscreened on the top of the package being different[3].

tbrooks I'd love to learn more about this -- could I get in touch?
I imagine you want to keep this private so could you at least name the nearest town to where you grew up? Just trying to find out if this is in America or another country. Your story is very familiar. Unfortunately your family seems to be taking advantage of your goodwill. I know because I've experience it myself. They get into all sorts of trouble and then they expect you to drop everything and to sacrifice everything to help them. Good luck.
I know of at least two other people from small towns whose IQ and life stories are similar to those shared in the article. I think high IQ individuals becoming isolated, social outcasts is more common in small towns, where accelerated curriculums and gifted and talented programs are more rare.

If you know a highly gifted child, refer them to the Davidson Academy, a free public school for the profoundly gifted. http://www.davidsonacademy.unr.edu

The Davidson academy is free to attend, and they can coordinate providing IQ-appropriate curriculum and work to the child's school for students who cannot attend in-person. Finally, there are paid, online options as well.

A friend of mine works at Davidson, and they have elementary age kids taking physics classes alongside master's degree students. When they say "profoundly gifted", it's not hyperbole.

Getting gifted kids into programs where they are surrounded by people like them can go a long ways towards helping them learn social skills. They may never be socially normal in larger society, but they can find friends, meaning, and happiness that can lead to a productive and brilliant career and life.
He's not talking about enterprise support. Every Dell laptop I've had for the last decade has come with their on-site warranty and I've always purchased mine through Dell's consumer site or Newegg/Amazon.
For the last two years I have been doing well formed pull-ups almost everyday. I could not do a single pull-up on Dec 31, 2014. Today I can do 5 perfect formed pull-ups.
I still don't see it. How on earth would a kid recognize unhelpful advice if it still resulted in finding the object? The kid does not know the game is rigged. I think it is more likely the article has not fully explained the experiment. It would make me sad to think this was actually published.
That sounds sort of average or even below. The Elks club probably looks like that. For the top 2% intelligent people in the world, that counts as non-achieving. Working in a bookstore or running a gas station is not what you'd expect from geniuses.
Interesting. I've always had a very pleasant experience with support for my apple devices. To the degree that I've had two laptops repaired for free that were out of warranty. Getting an iPhone screen officially repaired on the spot is something that still amazes me.

In the end, googles lack of support is one of the major factors I'm willing to pay the extra cash for Apple devices. That plus privacy and thought out security.
So tell the experts that they're wrong, and that they are ignorant about part of their field? That sort of behavior rarely has a beneficial outcome, and can appear egotistical.

> When one of them learned that their high IQ might cause some of the trouble they experienced, they once again looked for professional help, only to find out that the problem is widely unknown out there.

How did they learn of this - that their IQ might cause some of these troubles - what was their authoritative information source? Essentially, they've found multiple professional authorities who dispute the information they heard somewhere and chose to believe.

Learning and technical skills have always been easy for me, understanding people less so. I got an undergrad business degree specifically to understand why businesses do some of the nonsensical things they do. What I learned is that companies are essentially just organizations of humans, money, and things - and humans do all kinds of 'nonsensical' things because we are humans.
The paper claims in its conclusion that it has provided evidence (what is more, "further evidence") yet I can't find any in there.

It argues that you can achieve a certain useful separation between programs together when one produces data for the other.

This can be achieved in a very satisfactory way with explicit streams (i.e. lazy lists). It can be satisfied with delimited closures, coroutines, threads and often with lexical closures. Not to mention Icon-style generators.

Lazy lists can be incorporated into the language so that their cell are first-class objects and substitute for regular eager cells smoothly. (Thank you, OOP).

The paper is actually wrong there, because laziness alone will not provide the kind of separation that g can begin executing, such that f then only executes when an item is required. Not for an arbitrary f! Suppose f traverses a graph structure recursively and yields some interesting items. Lazy eval alone isn't going to allow the f traversal to behave as a coroutine controlled by g, proceeding only as far as g continues to be interested in further items. The author is attributing to lazy evaluation magical powers that it doesn't have.
So what they really mean is "Reddit without anyone who will disagree with your sophomoric views on politics" it seems. It's people's choice if they want to dig into a non-threatening bubble, but it's fairly sad. You don't grow by surrounding yourself with people just like you.
You are taking that quote way out of context the next part of the sentence "but then he never made an effort to improve his grades" is the relevant part. They dislike him because he didn't try to improve not because he was good at picking up information.
I make it a habit to program everyday. At least one git commit. Jerry Seinfeld was famous for using his Calendaring system of marking an X for everyday he committed to his challenge. "Don't break the chain!"
I'm sure I speak for many of my fellow fans of physics when I say that technology capable 8.6 seconds per scanning a complex smaller object would have applications beyond just making 3D models.
"The main point is that the restrictions force you to change your habits."

And this is really the main key with diets and healthy eating. You gotta change your habits.

But in that respect, you could do similar things without the restrictions: Simply work on changing the habits without eating more. Take a while to focus on cutting out most sweetened beverages: Some time to eat more veggies, more grains, adjust your eating to reflect when you are hungry, and so on.
To me, listening to and tagging music seem to be two rather orthogonal problems. There are very good tagging applications that don't actually play the files. My current favorite definitely is beets (http://beets.io/), although it may take some minutes to set up (at least if you want the hashing feature where the audio itself is used to look up metadata).
Another (rather old) Windows-Application that was very useful for tagging was "The GodFather".

That's why I said it can use the most appropriate encoding in the latin1 case. Before that it would never have the right encoding.

Especially when I type in "stomach" (a very very common ailment is stomach discomfort) and there are two results: "vomiting on an empty stomach" and "abdominal pain, exacerbating on an empty stomach". There's nothing for "intestine", which intestinal discomfort is pretty high up the list as well. These are things I might turn to the Internet for advice, even if it's just "take some Tums and lay down".

There's a ton of stuff for heart-related issues though, something I'd never risk an answer gotten online for.
I'd argue the opposite. Too much domain knowledge leads to creation of the very same "solutions" that have existed with minor tweaks. See Henry Ford faster horse for reference.
> That's just what the lead project team declared. Not what the user base asked for or wants.

You think they are doing it just for kicks? There are no issues with Python 2? They are also part of the user base, and they did it for a reason.

> That's because people stopped using them organically. That's not the case with Python 2 -- Python 3 was declared "the new hotness" with a decree from above.

Well, I for instance stopped using Python 2 when Python 3 came out, if it was possible for me to do so (I had all the libraries I needed). I understand that many people can't do it, but people are organically moving from Python 2 to Python 3, not the other way around.

Nobody is really forcing you to not use Python 2, just as nobody is forcing you not to use FORTRAN 77 or COBOL 74. It's just that the language will not evolve anymore, and as far as runtime goes, you will be on your own eventually.

I agree with your opinion that it's ludicrous to extend RTBF beyond a country's borders but I feel that even RTBF within a country or collection of countries could be detrimental. If you do something newsworthy enough to make it into a newspaper, I can go find out what you did (unless RTBF also requires printed papers to go redact your information from each copy). Isn't this collective knowledge part of what keeps society running? And doesn't this provide incentives to behave (to those who are thinking about misbehaving)?
I read never made an effort to improve his grades as refusing to do the rote work that schools often require in order to earn a high grade.

Joel is both asserting that a particular state of affairs presently exists that quite likely doesn't--specifically that employers have a strong rather than tenuous legal claim to all side projects produced by their developers due to the vagueness of the relatedness clause of the California law and the contracts incorporating it--and also attempting to convince his readers, most of whom are developers, that this is entirely appropriate and that they should just accept it as a normal consequence of salaried employment.

This really does change my opinion of both Joel and FogCreek, and certainly for the worse. I wonder, did FogCreek actually prevent Ted Unangst from contributing to OpenBSD as a side project while he was with them? If so, that's horrible. And how much have FogCreek, StackOverflow, and other companies that seek to greedily arrogate the entire creative output of their employees benefited from open source software began and continued as the very side projects this blog post cautions against? Utterly hypocritical.

I second the call of another poster: we need a professional association (union) of the kind that lawyers, doctors, and dentists have. IEEE and ACM could easily function as such, and in fact, they already provide many of the same practice standardization and continuing education functions that other professional associations do. All that's missing is the rent-seeking behavior to ensure we earn what we're worth and keep employers like Joel honest.
Is the focus on "High IQ" helpful here? Why would the treatment for ADHD, Depression, Social Anxiety, etc, be any different for them than someone with a lower IQ?
One thing most people don't think about. The kelly criterion isn't particularly useful for investors, as you need to be able to quantify the expected outcomes. It's not particularly useful for gamblers (rarely do they have quantifiable positive expected value), but it's an absolutely amazing resource for casinos themselves.

Almost every bet that happens on a casino floor the casino can quantify their expected returns and risks and knowing the state of their bankroll knowing what is sensible to risk or not.

But other than that, it probably is mainly useful to teach investors a healthy fear of variance. If it'd be foolish for a casino with a $1M bankroll to let a roulette player bet more than $12000 on a spin, it might give you a healthy sense of the importance of diversification.

Quantum fields have gauge symmetry so they do not have any definite values, you can assume them to have more or less any value as long as you are consistent. My views on this topic are heavily influenced by Nima Arkani-Hamed and here [1] are 30 seconds from a lecture where he is very explicit about this. But I am aware that this is not really a topic with universal agreement, at least this is what it looks to a non-physicist like me. And looking at your user profile I am pretty sure you are going to tell me that I am asking for to much realism.

Most of the early Somethingawful community is long gone, broken into splinter sites that look more like SA did in its early days.

The goal of Google Apps is to allow an employer to own and manage accounts for employees. They are fundamentally limited accounts owned by someone else. Sure: you might be your own "employer" and allocate yourself an account, but that account is still subservient to the organization you set up. With this in mind, what does it mean if an employee of a company pays for a month of YouTube Red by themself and then their employer immediately fires them and deletes their account? What happens to the data stored in such an account that the user will expect to still have if they are working with a social service like Google+ and signed up "as them"? Will they get locked out of the Android TV they own when their employer deletes their accounts? Will all the IoT stuff in their home, from their lights to their thermostat, all stop working when they get fired from their job and their account revoked? The concept just doesn't make sense to use these kinds of accounts for arbitrary Google services; accounts under Google Apps should not be thought of as personal accounts to be used for personal purposes: if there is some business reason for employees of your company to need access to YouTube Red the correct way to support that in Google Apps would be some kind of organization-level per-seat license, not to allow accounts to buy YouTube Red ostensibly for themselves. You should use a personal account for personal things and use Google Apps accounts only for use cases that fit the model of "this is a work account owned by an organization that could lock me out of that account at any second and would not want me using the account to store personal data or for any personal reason", whether or not you happen to have for some reason decided to set up a one-person organization where you own the organization and have granted yourself an account.
This is exactly my experience with Project Fi. I started having major problems staying connected to a cell phone tower and they were asking me to spend so much time troubleshooting.

I have a full time job, my phone wasn't staying connected to a cell tower in downtown SF for more than 15-30 seconds at a time. I was having a ton of anxiety and Project Fi support was content to let me do their troubleshooting for them. It was very frustrating and Project Fi is still unreliable as hell!

You've galvanized me, I'm getting rid of Project Fi, I'm done with this. WiFi SMS isn't worth this crap.
Some years ago I started drawing or painting every day. 15 minutes some days, hours on others. I've always done artwork, but never quite been this prolific. It wasn't really a formal thing to begin with, just something I started doing one day.

And am quite happy with the results.

My art improved and is probably more creative. Not only that, but I started taking more risks and moving out of my comfort zone. Some days, I just don't know what to draw when I'm staring at the paper - like writers block. But I make a few lines anyway and see what I can build from there.

I don't know if I'm surprised at results or not, just pleased.
Ask HN: SEO penalty for non-HTTPS if they are static sites?
I maintain several sites that change slowly in time and I have started hosting them as static sites on Google Cloud Storage (easy to do, also easy using AWS S3, and I think Azure). I set up HTTPS via a free Cloudflare service on one of them that gets fairly heavy traffic, but I thought I would leave the rest just supporting HTTP.

Does anyone know if these static sites without HTTPS support will rank lower in Google, Bing, and Duck-duck-go search requests?
I agree with eliminating the need for lawyers for most things, but the biggest problem about it is that in small cities/towns (maybe big ones too, I just have no experience in that domain) judges and lawyers are "buddies". People with the exact same charges can get radically different sentences depending on if they have a paid lawyer vs no lawyer or a public defender. There's a public defender in my town who also has his own private firm, and it's amazing how differently the judge and DA respond to whether or not you hired him or the town did. If all of that isn't bad enough, you can see the judge, DA , and lawyers all making backroom deals and exchanging favors. And they do it fairly blatantly in my town. I've rarely seen an objective case and it's a shame because law is perceived as a "sacred" domain where objectivity rules.

It's not the first bad story of Pixel support I've ready, and for the money you have to pay for a Pixel, I think it's a deal killer for me.

I will say that I had my Nexus 5 replaced twice, the last time was on the last possible day of the year warranty (I didn't realize it until the guy told me I'd called a few hours before my support ran out).

Both times I got a new unit (refurb that was like new?) sent to me, before I sent my 5 back. Once I got the new 5, I boxed up and send the old one back. I would have had to pay for the new phone had I not returned it after 30 days.

My question: why don't they do this with the Pixel? Was this part of the Nexus support plan?
