Nothing is preventing AMD to only provide manuals under NDAs, just like NVidia, if they stop seeing value in their contributions.
Why can't AMD work on the open-source driver? It works good in my experience unlike fglrx.
I suspect some bearded guy at AMD is having his 'i told you so' hour of glory sometime this week.
Ditto. Was traveling for a living, and didn't care at all about it for years, then I got worse and worse, and had to change careers. I think part of it was the increase in stress overall after 9/11 in travelling, but maybe another part of it is doing it enough times, having enough unpleasant experiences that it's added up to me just hating everything that can happen on a typical flight.

Also, dropping 10-20 feet and seeing/feeling the frame of the aircraft flexing about is just plain unsettling.
Difference is I can do traffic analysis and RST generation over lots of machines (if it gets slow, worst case my RST gets there late). Changing routes/forwarding table action has to happen on machine moving large data, in real time.
For those that do a lot of heavy 3D where you need cores, cores and more cores Xeon is a lot more cost effective than paying a crazy premium on 6 or 8 core i7 chips.
Yes, this is the weakness of POS systems. Of course, with a POW system new users still need to get a trusted copy of the genesis block.

Disagreeing is not always equivalent to "complaining" or getting "bent out of shape." Plenty of people disagreed and said so.

Agreed, probably the best data we have so far on modern POS systems is NXT, and that isn't really a battle-tested project yet.

No. Android is a Java based OS that happens to use Linux as a kernel.

The majority of APIs are not exposed to NDK users, only to OEMs.

Google could release lets say Android 8 with another POSIX compliant kernel and the only apps that would notice are the ones using non official APIs.

Younger people are not smarter. They might learn faster new things. On the other hand, older people understand related new things much better as they already have a large context (experience). The biggest difference of my current self (44) to my younger self is that I did spend much more energy in my projects when I was younger. I created results much faster at the cost of limited consideration. Now, I can still burn for a while, but not as long as when I was younger.
The open source developers don't care about invisible code reuse in a closed source driver. HALs across open source codebases do exist too (eg for ZFS) but Linux in particular does not like them.
What's massive though? Programmers currently make up approximately 0.8% of the workforce. You could increase the size of the industry by an entire order of magnitude and you still would only be employing 8% of the workforce. About the same rate as manufacturing today; a sector often scrutinized for no longer providing enough jobs for the populace.
And not being able to play A-grade games is barely a rounding error in the pros and cons of why most people use Linux, especially in the workplace.
This is too soon if Google goes forward with the red exclamation point "insecure" flag before there is a free solution for wildcard certificates.

What are free sites that give every user a subdomain for their profile/site/etc supposed to do? There are many open source multi-user site platforms that follow this pattern, and all of these platforms now effectively have a huge monetary subscription fee associated with them due to the fact that you now need to purchase a wildcard certificate in order to not scare away users.

There is no free wildcard SSL certificate service, so Google is essentially forcing you to pay money to not scare users away from your site.

I am all for this change eventually happening, but not until all DV SSL use cases are covered by free services. Until then, this change is inappropriate.

If Google wants to punish sites that can't afford or won't pay for expensive wildcard certificates, then they should offer a solution of their own (like their own ACME CA that supports provisioning wildcard certs).
If you're looking for help, drop me a line. As a young(er) engineer, I live in terror every day of what may come down the road.
It'd certainly help mapping out things for building a layer of AR on top.
It's like Chuck Yeager says, any landing where you survive is a great landing, and any landing where the plane can fly again is exceptional.

He flew a firecracker over the speed of sound. That thing could have easily exploded when it hit that velocity due to unpredicted aero loading.

Test pilots are made of sterner stuff than just about everyone else on the planet, but they're not ignorant of the risks.
They are currently fighting it out in the courts to not get their equity wiped out by creditors.

I actually really like Pabrai, and enjoyed his two books.

But I cannot figure out what he was doing in Horsehead. Three strikes: high debt, highly cyclical, commodity product. Any one of those would be a tough sell, but all three?

I thought after 2009 he learned his lesson with high debt companies, so I was really surprised to see him at it again. Not only to invest, but putting in such a high % of assets.
What is troubling about AR/MR which I feel a lot of people overlook is the limited FOV. From the demo videos shown by Magic Leap (and Hololens) on YouTube it feels as if the entire FOV is available, which is barely the case - the Hololens has an FOV of 120x120 and Magic Leap is said to have a lower angle than that.
Verge covered Hololens and they mention [1] the FOV as a limitation.

Not to my knowledge but that sounds interesting. I think that there is probably a lot of "valid code" that is not necessarily legible to human eyes. Javascript is also rather open in its potential.... Would you be looking at the statistics for how variables are named, or more for the style and format of method/function calls and such?

(without looking at details) The problem is that Windows and Linux expose hardware and drivers in different ways. You can shim things up to make the code work, but you end up with a driver that doesn't look like a Linux driver and doesn't work like a Linux driver and can't easily be maintained by people working in the Linux graphics drivers is going to be a problem.

If the driver doesn't really belong in the Linux kernel source for those reasons, it's better to keep it outside the kernel tree.
Guide to Generating Positive Product Ratings and Reviews
Young people:

1. Learn faster (better memory)

2. Can keep their attention focused longer.

Number 1 actually becomes a bane with old people: my relatives over 70 actively developed an active reticence to learn anything new: I even theorized that they are instinctively protecting the limited amount of functional short term memory for vital tasks.
I don't think we'd better start identifying look-and-feel of websites with programming skill.

One thing I've noticed whilst becoming older as a programmer is what pleasure I take in certain sorts of what people call "rookie" errors.
Almost. Technically it's the same as active (not passive) RFID tags: both reflect RF signals, and both need a source of battery power is needed to open and close the antenna circuit.

Passive RFIDs harvest power from the RF signals.

The developer experience is miles ahead of Android, even when looking at the phone/store split they had on 8.x.

WhatsApp integrated Signal's end-to-end encryption¹ into their communications platform.

Nearly everyone I know uses WhatsApp. This change made the platform much more secure for everyone. It's on by default and works transparently. Since then, at least one government was unable to compel WhatsApp to produce messages² from users under investigation.

I also have Signal installed but nobody I know uses it so its utility is diminished. I told some friends about Signal; they installed the app but won't use it because they can't message anyone except me. The only times people talked to me via Signal was during the temporary WhatsApp blocks ordered by my country's government.

I find that - very broadly speaking - old guns are better at strategy and young guns are better at tactics. The energy and interest of the young lead them to find the local maxima more readily, and the experience of the old help you find the real maxima rather than the local. Or put another way, young'uns will get you out of the rabbit-hole more quickly, but old'uns will take you down fewer rabbit-holes. Both mindsets work well together.

YMMV, caveat, caveat, caveat, etc, roughly speaking, &c

The sense of entitlement is a lot higher these days. I grew up in a 900 sqft house with 1 bathroom. Yet all my peers (myself included) seek out homes 2x, 3x or bigger.

Same with cars.... my parents bought used, reliable cars. Today we want fancy things.

Growing up we had cable tv and a phone line. Probably spent $50/month total. The family cellphone bill, home broadband, various tv services easily top out over $300/month.

We went out to eat once a month. Tops. It was a treat. Nowadays people (myself included go out 1, 2 or more times per week.

Earnings aside, current generations are spending way more because they want more.

I wonder how they are coming up with the region names? Most are cities (Sao Paolo, Frankfurt), some are countries (Ireland), some regions (N. Virginia, Oregon).

This new region is unique in that is does not refer to an actual place, and that the name alone is not descriptive (in the AWS console, it says just "Central" in the header).
We won't dial back; what we need to do is change education qualitatively. We still have the education system we designed when, as a society, we were fact-poor. People needed to learn lots of facts to get educated.

Now we are drowning in facts--some real, some fake. What citizens need most is the ability to collect, evaluate, reorganize, and apply facts. They need to learn how to create and nurture internal systems of understanding, which they use to evaluate and interact with information.

Part of the skill that workers need now is the ability to quickly learn new skills. No one has the same job they had 10 years ago. Even people with the same title and employer are doing things differently now. Employees who cannot adapt to change are the ones who will be in trouble, long term.

We have an educational system that prepares students for career paths. We need to be producing graduates who have a sense of how to change or create their own path.

The problem isn't that sharing code across platforms is bad, it's that not sharing code within Linux is bad. Airlie is basically saying that if the kernel API and subsystems are somehow inadequate, AMD should improve them directly instead of covering them up with a bunch more code.
But is it inaccurate? Whatever its ideological biases, I nonetheless believe my definition is more accurate than "anything regarding the exchange of power or money". Such a wide definition includes the purchase of groceries. Yet a typical grocery purchase is hardly an illocutionary political statement.

More importantly, is it unproductive? I.e. would my threshing-method fail to reliably discriminate? I honestly believe my criterion is practical. Otherwise, I would not have made the suggestion. I challenge someone to find a case where the predicate returns a controvertible result.

This is true. Google founders were extremely thrifty in the early days, before they started making money. They didn't compromise, but they didn't spend lavishly either.
You could argue that those planes should be forced to retire instead.

A different perspective might be to require that every 10000 hours of service see a new mark painted on the hull. This way passengers could be informed of how much 'age' a plane has had and the regulations could also apply to any plane which /might/ fly in to the US (or Europe).
The only problem is if those subdomains have a password input field "somewhere" on their sites, AFAICT. Or are you referring to google's "later" plans to add a red exclamation point "insecure" flag to the url bar for all HTTP pages?

I'll admit when I first heard of them flagging HTTP password fields, my instinct was to write a little javascript to "mimic" password input field behavior (and store the real password away somewhere else, then at submit time, it sends in the correct data). But if it's just a tiny warning on the url bar, meh, not sure if I care...

Also note that https://letsencrypt.org appears to offer free CA certs.
This is a good point. But, there's also some inefficiencies that creep in because like a centrally planned ecomonomy, the company can not adequately predict the demand for each free snack, food and drink, leading to excess waste (at least for perishable items).

Where I live, there are at least a couple hundred stop signs and two (2) traffic signals. That's probably closer to a typical ratio for suburbs and smaller towns. I doubt there's ever been a serious accident at most of those intersections, and certainly not as the catalyst for putting up all the signs. The major accidents happen on the highways outside of town, during blizzards.

For me Safari works good enough, so I don't have many reasons to switch. Chrome development tools are marginally better, so it's still installed and I use it for some heavy JavaScript development, but outside of this I prefer Safari.

Funny enough, I had to use Windows 10 for a short time, and Edge was actually not that bad. I remember IE being the terrible product and everyone used some other browser. Now Edge is usable and there's no much reason to install Chrome there as well.

The rewards roughly do reflect this. Ordinary investing isn't clearly better or worse than investing in property. The problem is that ordinary investing requires many years of self discipline while paying a mortgage has the bank holding a stick over you to keep you from wasting your income on lattes and holidays.
> What is is: take money from workers and transfer it directly. It's not even invested to generate additional wealth.

Its invested, by law, in the safest asset known to man: Special issue US treasuries that can always be redeemed at face value (principal + interest), which come ahead of general issue treasuries.

"By law, income to the trust funds must be invested, on a daily basis, in securities guaranteed as to both principal and interest by the Federal government. All securities held by the trust funds are "special issues" of the United States Treasury. Such securities are available only to the trust funds.

In the past, the trust funds have held marketable Treasury securities, which are available to the general public. Unlike marketable securities, special issues can be redeemed at any time at face value. Marketable securities are subject to the forces of the open market and may suffer a loss, or enjoy a gain, if sold before maturity. Investment in special issues gives the trust funds the same flexibility as holding cash."

https://www.ssa.gov/oact/progdata/fundFAQ.html

Why not invest in bonds or stocks? The amount the US government would need to invest would disproportionally move markets, but most importantly, the losses (when they occur) would be backstopped by the US taxpayer. There is no reason to needlessly invest the Social Security trust fund in equities when its most important asset is the ongoing ability to collect taxes (equities can go to zero; the ability to tax isn't going away under almost any circumstance, barring a complete collapse of the US government).

EDIT:

> The treasuries are just an IOU in legal form.

All debts are IOUs in legal form. The reason the US government gets such low rates is because the market believes they're more likely to pay the debt back then Joe Schmoe. And the market would be right, which is why capital scrambles into treasuries at the first sign of global financial trouble.
