It probably doesn't require the chip... I'm thinking they are using some form of hardware accelerated binary translation.

Re: Windows on ARM, I run Windows IoT on a Raspberry Pi. Shows they have a good lot of it running, eg the full UWP UI system, kernel etc. Imagine it's the translation part that's deleted things.
One more reason because of which Nokia failed, I think, is because they had a platform which was somewhat successful. Symbian. They stuck with it too long rather than jumping the Android ship. If they had embraced Android whole heartedly, I think they could have competed with Samsung for the Android supremacy. Their hardware was good and they had loyal customers, at least in India.
Given that the trade seems pretty apparent, at least to me. "You can use our thing here for free but in exchange we might want to use one of your things later also for free", I have to ask why you don't think not agreeing to the latter half of the deal shouldn't preclude you from the former? I mean, that's how deals work.
You say that so definitively. Like anyone is stupid to even question it. But the Central Canada thing is merely a historical artifact and has no real basis in, well you know, actual geographic location.

Quebec actually extends farther east than all other provinces (except Newfoundland). In other words, it's farther east than 3 out 4 so called "Atlantic" or "Eastern" provinces.
This is very interesting. Do you have a source on this? I can't find anything online.
Although the comparison isn't perfect, you can think of jQuery as PHP in the late 90s and early 00s.

PHP made web development accessible to the masses. Because PHP is embedded in the HTML itself, it is way easier to work with than Perl or Java, especially in the context of The Web In 1999.

In the same vein, jQuery filled a very important niche when the web was just getting started. It made Javascript accessible, by smoothing out the differences between browsers, and by providing a useful set of abstractions over the mountain of quirks that is client-side Javascript.

Most importantly, jQuery made hard things that people wanted to do stupidly simple.

But in 2016, there are fewer differences between browsers, and more importantly, our knowledge of How To Build Software has massively improved through lots of trial, error, and iteration.

And things that used to be really hard in Javascript are now a lot easier, thanks to improvements in browsers, languages, and tooling... well, the tooling still needs work, but that's a different discussion.

The world that jQuery served no longer exists, and it has largely been replaced by more effective abstractions. It will never truly go away, but neither will it be the choice for most people that are looking to create something new.
Okay, sure, you may need extra configuration. But parent said "can't".
Sure, but my point still stands about all of these people having worked at rich tech companies or being funded by rich tech companies.
Nikanj isn't wrong (and is funny), but I think the other (more justifiable) reason is that jQuery largely isn't necessary anymore: when it came out, there were an uncountable number of browser incompatibilities that needed painting over, and APIs for remote requests, DOM querying & manipulation and the like were very immature, so a library to make everything usable was extremely valuable.

Now, those APIs are mature & standardized & it's generally not too hard to write vanilla JS that works across all the major browsers.

I don't think jQuery has failed, but for the kind of baked-in functionality Rails wants it's not really needed, and there are good reasons not to pack another dependency into your framework if it will increase page download size & is increasingly unlikely to be used by the framework's users.

IIRC from watching the episode of "Air Crash Investigation" (aka "Mayday") on this flight, it was a pretty tragic confluence of factors: it was a best practice on other planes, but not on the A300, but American Airlines training manual had not been updated to reflect this change, nor did the simulator models account for this eventuality. Kinda surprised the author of this piece wrote it up as he did.
> The sorts of people who put on public entertainment in size-limited venues are generally left-leaning and do not like the idea of their audience consisting solely of very rich people.

You're completely exposing a bias here. First, public entertainment is by definition always going to be in a size-limited venue unless somehow different parts of matter start to be able to occupy the same space at the same time. Secondly, instead of immediately invoking politics, consider than the artists/talent generally prefer enthusiastic fans of their work over people who would look at the ticket as more of a prestige item: something to impress a prospective client with or just buying a ticket to be seen at some high profile event where you care more about putting pics up on instagram rather than actually appreciating the performance.

The artists generally value an enthusiastic response and sincere appreciation of their work and you're shoehorning politics into a discussion that has nothing to do with it. Consider than humans are not rational, profit maximizing automatons and do place a nebulous, complex value on things that can not be transferred into currency. Everyone has some things in this world that they consider priceless.
To be clear, many of the things you just mentioned are feature engineering-related and don't have much to do with ML.

In my experience, Ontario and Quebec are colloquially referred to as "Out East" or "Eastern Provinces" while the Atlantic provinces are referred to more often as "The Maritimes" or the "East Coast".

I think this article is trying to unnecessarily create issue out of something very obvious. It's very clear that Google's main source of revenue is ads. But that is backed by very strong products which are an integral part of billions of people's daily lives. Search, You Tube, Android, Gmail, Maps and a few others. As long as they maintain their lead in these products, their ad revenue is not going to go anywhere.

What's even more encouraging is that most of these products are improving with great speed every year. They are fighting the Cloud Battle very hard. So I think it is OK that some of the big dreams they have tried like Google glass and autonomous cars have failed. One needs to take big risks to get big wins. I think if they stopped these moon shot projects then it will be a thing of big concern, then they would have stopped innovating. Innovation is what give the Google "brand" it's aura, which makes people believe that whatever Google produces must be good. It gives them the edge.
You size the hosting for a site for whatever you expect to have, not google scale - to do anything else is a waste of money/resources.

I didn't downvote you, but your claims (and Zuckerberg's) about the intelligence and aptitude of us old folks (I'm not even 40 yet) are just absurd.

As regards UI, usability and the like, your comment is highly subjective and entirely unsubstantiated.

And your comment in your third edit is just as absurd as your notions about old folks: the site's author(s) likely never intended the site to be part of, e.g., a HN surge. A good number of the application backends I've written were never meant to be exposed to that kind of surge, and I didn't design these backends to handle that kind of surge because it wasn't necessary. That you think it is demonstrates more about your lack of understanding of engineering fundamentals than it does about old folks' ability to learn and adapt.

Yup, I run IoT Core in my Raspberry Pi 2, and run a C# UWP app on it to dynamically update my DNS settings. The UI is lovely, and the UWP API in general, too.

Both JIT and native modes of operation work. Hell, I can also build it for my desktop PC, and it's literally only changing the build target. It's phenomenally easy, so easy that I was actually a little in disbelief at first. .
>He also has a history of lying, such as when he used fake WHOIS details to run his "Google anonymiser" thing. And of course, when he was shut down by the registrar, as you do when someone has given you false details, what did he do? He went to the press to whine about the registrar! After he entered a contract in bad faith, something which happens to be a prosecutable offence. That's the sort of person we are talking about here. I hope you will understand if his word does not exactly fill me with confidence.

I really don't see why someone should be on my shitlist for lying to godaddy dot com or whatever giant registrar unless you consider fudging identifying details about something that really doesn't matter, especially considering he was very openly associated with the project, some sort of horrible moral offense. I especially find your taking massive umbridge with fudging personal information baffling given how privacy-minded you otherwise seem.

>At the risk of sounding elitist, what is his academic background? (I elided the other person because I do not know who he is).

Combined with the above, the way you're hand-waving away the other of the two original developers of the protocol really just makes it seem like the position you've taken against Signal is mostly predicated on some sort of grudge against Marlinspike himself. Yes, trashing F-Droid was not a great thing to do and you might see him as someone with a strong penchant for self-promotion, but the way you keep on tying your criticisms to Marlinspike personally really muddles your case. For example, you object to him promoting Signal in a New York Times piece saying it is a generalist publication and posit he's just trying to drum up attention so he can find a buyer, which may or may not be true, but isn't one of the most important goals of a secure messaging application to get people to actually use it and to achieve widespread adoption? The main lesson I've learned from GPG mail is that a perfectly private means of communication is worth very little if I can't actually convince anyone to use it with me.

"when a community and its moderators tend toward free-speech absolutist positions."

But oddly, this doesn't describe HN, because another aspect of the moderation is in favor of blandness, for the sake of avoiding flamewars. In college I was taught that good writing entailed taking strong positions, but the moderation here sometimes sees strong positions as being the same as flaming.
Would you mind expanding a little bit more, from your perspective, on what falls into tactics and what falls into strategy?
jQuery is for adding behavior to web _pages_. It thrived in the era where most web development happened on the backend and frontend development was really about sprinkling interactivity and effects onto a page. jQuery does not supply powerful-enough abstractions for writing applications. Early attempts to layer MVC on top of jQuery did not meet with much success; Angular and other libraries used it initially for DOM manipulation but as time went on they mostly found ways to drop the dependency.

I still think that if you're building _pages_ instead of an application, you should consider it. Plus, it is a great tool for understanding and manipulating the DOM. I think it will continue to be popular with casual web developers for a long time, although frontend engineers have probably not been using it for years. I think the death of jQuery is exaggerated, but only time will really tell.

Yes, draconian IP agreements suck!

What can you do about it (if you live outside of California)?

Your key weapon here is knowledge. Specifically, the fact that California Labor Code section 2870 exists.

"...shall not apply to an
invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time..."

Here's what you should do to avoid draconian IP clauses:

* Print out a copy of 2870 and bring it with you when you go to sign your job offer http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:3qLjxOo...

* Read your contract. If you don't see similar wording in their contract, hand them your copy of 2870 and ask it to be added to the contract.

* If they try to push back, calmly explain that every resident of California gets this "for free". If Google, Facebook, etc employees all get this, why shouldn't you?

* Be prepared to walk if they refuse.

But what if you're already in a job which has draconian IP clauses?

* Try bringing 2870 to the table the next time you are negotiating for a raise or promotion.

* If you are cheeky, go get a job offer from a competitor, and highlight the fact that they are willing to offer you 2870.

But the best thing you can do is to spread the word about 2870! If enough of us demand this, eventually it will be such a hassle (for employers outside of California) that no one will bother trying to trick their employees into draconian IP clauses.

I should give a hat-tip here to my former employer, uShip (Austin, TX). They include this clause by default for all devs, and I'll make sure I ask for 2870 at every future job.

> let’s look at the average age of IT workers at well-established companies. Facebook: 28. LinkedIn: 29. Google: 30

I had an interview at Google a couple months ago and noticed that most people were pretty young. When I asked the person who was in charge of taking me to lunch about this, he said that it's probably because there are just much more graduates of CS now than there were before, and that Google would very much like to hire senior people as well but they're much harder to find.

I wonder how much of what he said is true vs ageism.

On the other hand, I wonder how much of a natural bias there is against older people if they have to go through the same interview process because it felt like a mental marathon to me. Although the interview only lasts a day it took a couple days for me to recover.

Dinosaur tail discovered trapped in amber
This.

US home ownership has gone up and down between 64% and 69% in the past 30 years, currently at the low end of that. But at the same time, the average new house went from 1,600 to 2,500 sqft.

Thirty years ago, how many people plopped down $5k for a TV? $700 for a phone? $150/month for telecom?

Life expediency has increased by 6 years from 1975 to 2010.

And to top it off, we're working less than we ever have. Average hours per year: 1,900 (1950), 1,800 (1970), 1,725 (1990), and 1,700 (2010).

Despite the "back in my day" doomsaying, on average, our quality of life has never been better.

---

My two cents why:

Cent 1: In a globally connected world, we are painfully obvious of the millions of people living more comfortably than us. When it was just Mr. Jones down the block, it didn't feel so bad.

Cent 2: Culture and priorities have changed. Rural population has been dropping for decades. People are more likely to rent a 500 sqft apartment in a large urban center than rent/buy a 900 sqft house in a town of 20k. Not a bad thing, just a different thing, and we have to take into account the whole picture.

What is the rationale behind such a requirement?

>if the game takes too long to load before the menu appears, pressing A will circumvent that requirement.

Does this mean those screens/videos that get displayed after the game starts and before the menu appears are required by Microsoft to be skippable?

If that's the case then it's good UX design in my opinion. I think those things are an unacceptable waste of player's time; I hate them so much I rename the files in the game's directory so it will fail to show them.
Pour one out for jQuery!

jQuery was a major productivity boost when first released but it didn't scale well and encouraged creation of tightly coupled glue code. It's decline being the result of evergreen browsers maintaining good parity where "vanilla JS" is now a feasible option and from it no longer being needed in the premier JS SPA frameworks which scales better and allows for the creation of better componentized and modular code-bases.

In someways we've digressed significantly and made it ridiculously more complicated to build a modern web app in contrast to what jQuery gives you out-of-the-box with a simple script include. Now to create a basic Angular2 App you need to download 32k+ files from npm and become an Angular2 build master just to setup your development environment and configure your package/deploy scripts.

You can still go a long way with just Bootstrap + jQuery - which would still be my goto if I just need to spruce up a web page with some behavior. Although that's happening less and less and find myself reaching for VS.NET/TypeScript/JSPM/React as my choice SPA stack which scales well with a great ecosystem, minimal complexity and maximum utility.
Don't see why you're getting downvoted. This is likely the closest to the truth.
In that context, to me, tactics is writing & debugging code, compiling stuff, settings things up to work with other libs--ie. mostly hands-on tasks.

Strategy is more about planning, architecture, knowing about the real pros and cons of different solutions eg. libs, tools or languages.
