I tried to like it. I have my Surface Book sitting here next to me.

Windows 10 is much better than previous versions, and I like the direction MS seems to be moving. That said, I feel like in spite of how nice a machine the Surface Book is, QA is still sorely lacking on Windows 10.

"Sleep of Death" (google it) and working in *nix 99.99% of the time is what killed it for me. Trying to make the workflow work, it's just too painful, compared to working from my MBP.

New MBP touch on order. Should get here next week.
It still uses them, it was not difficult to find a screenshot from a recent version of Windows.

He says he spoke to a lawyer, yet also suggests he'll be able to get away with claiming that his individual customers are "telecommunications operators" so he can't log their data. I'm not a lawyer, yet this sounds highly unlikely to work to me.
I do this as well. Simple, rudimentary prototypes can be made in relatively no time flat. And it's never really that ugly anyway.
I have known perhaps a hundred people go through this process. When Sun went public it made a bunch of people "rich"[1], when Sun released Java and the stock split 8 times and climbed over $100 it made still more people rich, when NetApp stock crossed a $100/share in the dot com days still more people crossed into that line of not having to work any more. The total number of people is going to be higher than that.

Some stop working, some continue working, and some decide to get together and create a startup incubator :-). Pretty much everyone I know that has gone through that process though are engineers. And engineers got to be engineers because they had a passion for building things or solving problems. Many people who have been engineers for a few years also realize that a group of talented engineers can solve bigger problems as a collective than any single engineer can. So the thing that really gives you satisfaction, solving some huge problem, can be best accomplished on a team.

There are three ways you can do that, you can work on a volunteer basis, you can start a company, or you can join an existing company. I've been playing around with some ideas around an experimental fourth way but so far have not found the right balance for that.

[1] Rich is such a subjective term but we'll use the article definition of having enough savings to never work again.
If nothing's plugged in then many devices can indeed be suspended in some way, either by putting them in PCI power state D3hot or by cutting power if the platform supports it. Plug events are then signaled e.g. by an ACPI GPE (general purpose event, an interrupt sent by the platform to the OS).

The case I was referring to was with the Ethernet cable still plugged in. They seem to suspend the Ethernet controller but don't wake it when packets come in, presumably because the controller doesn't support that. The machine appears dead from the outside after a few seconds of inactivity.
It's funny to me the quote mentions Palestine. I once spent six months in Israel on study-abroad (I was a near eastern studies major). While there I saw certain things firsthand. When I came back I noticed that all the US newspapers I could find in the University library all reported falsehoods regarding the events. I actually found that the BBCs coverage was the most honest and accurate. This experience has always left me wondering, "If an event that I have personal knowledge of was not reported accurately in the newspapers, how do I know that other events that I do not have personal knowledge of are reported accurately?" It doesn't seem to be enough to use multiple sources since all of the US sources I could find were inaccurate and how would I know if the BBC was always accurate?
In an ideal world, this is probably the case. Unfortunately, there are a lot of non-ideal codebases in the world.

Even the worst developer can eventually develop fluency in a poorly-designed codebase and seem much more competent than they actually are, compared to a new hire.
There's a group in between that slave away at their corporate job for 60+ hours a week. I don't know what to call them. They are basically doing the worst of both worlds.

You can almost think of, "inflammation" as a synonym for, "detrimental reaction". The inflammation is going to be a wholly different thing, depending on what you're talking about. But it usually causes response in the body that then becomes a different, chronic problem.

Example: too much sugar -> inflammation of arteries (because reasons) -> buildup of cholesterol -> heart attack.

It's not the sugar that cause the heart attack, it's the inflammation from the sugar and the body's response to it. This may seem like a small detail, but remember the theory was that it was the buildup of dietary cholesterol that caused clogged arteries. That was an easy narrative to follow, since, "(because reasons)" wasn't something you can market easily. Fat-free food usually doesn't have cholesterol either so it's good for you, if you're worried about having a heart attack!

This is the same falisty of thinking that merely eating fat makes you fat.

Excessive sugar causing Type 2 Diabetes is much less a theory than the above (insulin resistance)

Anyways, different inflammation is the pain I feel in my wrists typing this, or the pain my ankle from an accident last year. That inflammation is Not Good, and could lead to other Bad Things, like perhaps cancer (so I'm told by an MD)

So it is a very broad term, but it does def. have meaning.
I changed my diet a few years ago and also removed sugar. It has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. But I do love chocolate and still like to indulge.

Try the premium chocolate bars that are 80%-90% cocoa. The whole bar might be 10g of sugar, but the cocoa is so rich there’s no way you could even eat more than 1-2 tabs in one sitting. Compare that to a Snickers or whatever, which is 40-50g of sugar for the whole bar.

You also aren't considering the strength of the nukes. Back in 1962 nuclear bombs were relatively low-yield (especially those used in tests). Today, a single nuke can decimate the entire DC area.

Where Does Your Product Fit in the Market?
Generally when a protocol is referred to as message-based it's because there's some framing around the payload. This can make it impractical as compared to a streaming protocol that just passes data back in forth. In some real-time cases, you can't tolerate the latency of waiting to bundle multiple items in a single payload but you also can't tolerate the overhead of framing many small messages.
This was all a big ado over nothing. John Bridgman and two other AMD devs have backed away from Alex's initial flame-y post, and are trying to de-silo their codebase, break up the commit into smaller patches, and move forward (despite their marketing dept. getting in the way of fully-upstreaming beta cards the way Intel does).
I am no professional in typography nor have I used any other Mac than the Macbook 12" (2015), but putting it side by side with my Acer Predator Z35 (35" curved screen), I still like macOS' text rendering a lot more.

Maybe it's the fact that it has a huge resolution on a 12" screen. Seems very likely that the higher pixel density makes for a crisp and beautiful text.

Again, I am not a pro in this area. I am a programmer. So just speaking intuitively, macOS still wins in my eyes.

However, probably the best test would be to put Windows 10 and macOS side by side on identical 27" full HD monitors?

" Wind does not require any ITC credits to be competitive, solar will require them for another 1-2 years. [1]"

This is not true.

Wind is only competitive in very specific environments, and there are usually tax-breaks etc. hidden in the process.

Solar will not be competitive in most areas of the US for a very long time.

You must be young.

I remember hearing similar stuff 20 years ago. Then 10 years ago. "In just a few years it will be profitable".

Not in most places.
Yep. And this argument is in parity with those people who wear white robes with pointy hats, and burn crosses in people's yards whom they do not like.

It's also similar to Phrenology, the "science" of skull size, weight, and shape that indicate intelligence. Of course, non-whites were all inferior.

There were many interests all surrounding Margret Sanger, with Planned Parenthood and the original intentions of that group. Ideally, blacks, Jews, "retards", and any other undesirable were sterilized as to not continue their genes.

But talking of eugenics, even in a roundabout way has a lot of baggage. Is there a way to do it right? I'm not sure. I'd think voluntary methods could work, but only if they were truly voluntary. Remember, the kind of people we have coming in government believe that one can electrocute the gay out of someone (Pence).
I am in a pre-sales position so I am already typically on the clients shit list. Unlike most of my counterparts, I have lived in the world of ops and development and know how fun it is to get a call at 3am when something is down. I use my past experiences to explain to the customer why I would do things a certain way or why I think something might not be a good fit. I listen to what the customer has to say (something many in my field seem to not understand) and try to come up with something that fits well for THEM, not for my bank account.
I have had multiple people from various companies I have worked with tell me that they really appreciated my honesty and I typically get great customer satisfaction reviews, even if the project doesn't go that well.

To me it really is as simple as don't be a dick.
Though this was just my very limited experience with the apple store , I really did appreciate the lack of upsell.

Can confirm that. The very first time I attempted a keto like diet (was actually a PSMF if I recall correctly), I felt so shitty and lightheaded in the first couple days that I bailed and tore into a small pack of cookies.

It gets a lot easier though. After going in and out of keto a couple more times, it completely stops being an issue.

> The harsh-truth line for situations like this is that these people have been living beyond their means. You (should) have set enough aside to deal with the inevitable occasional hurdles life sets before you.

That would require people to not be poor. With exploding 200%+ rise in costs of rent / healthcare / education / childcare / etc, it's no longer feasible to expect people to be saving lots of money for rainy days -- not because they are bad people without the responsibility or fortitude to plan for the future, but because there's literally no money for it.
> well-optimized

Later in the dri-devel thread, they even admit that DC isn't even being used in the Windows drivers, because by the time the software devs get to write drivers, the hardware devs they should be hooking up with have already moved to the latest/greatest thing, and can't be bothered with legacy.

AMD's drivers are far from "well-optimized", and their internal developer culture perpetuates this problem.
It's mainly true on low DPI screens at 1:1 scaling with small point sized fonts. At a certain size, all fonts basically look alike in that case. It does happen on high dpi screens at 1:1 scaling too, but you need a magnifying glass to see the issues.

There's an app called MacType which makes the rendering more like Mac on low DPI screens, but I don't think it gets updated very often.
High DPI on Linux is indeed a mess, but I find running the screen at a lower resolution preferable to Apple's implementation of DPI scaling anyway.

Bluetooth is very broken too. Not sure if that's an issue with the drivers or the Linux bluetooth stack in general. Fortunately I only use it for my wireless headphones, which I can live without.

WiFi used to be a big problem when I tried Linux on a Mac at a previous job, thanks to terrible Broadcom drivers, but that all seems fine now.

Been running Linux on a Mac for 2 and a half months now, for me personally the improvements are significant and the issues minor.
IE was pretty bad but Firefox was decent. I interfaced a bit with the early Chrome team. Better performance was a necessary but not sufficient condition for success. Chrome was the fastest browser for at least six months but many early adopters wouldn't touch it without an extension framework. Certain extensions like Firebug had become extremely popular with developers by then. Google wanted these developers as early adopters. Once the extension framework was released then everybody hopped on the Chrome train (except for the Firefox purists), and Google proceeded to leverage their O&O sites (and spend billions of additional dollars) to pump distribution. Later on the extension frameworks (for all browsers) became riddled with malware and adware and are still a major source of vulnerability today.
> All of our food is produced and distributed using oil.

Regarding distribution:

- we had working short-distance transportation with no oil whatsoever for
ages literally, and for mechanical transport, there are alternatives to
burning gasoline, it just won't be at the speed of 60mph

- long-distance transportation using rails is much more energy efficient than
anything we use today, barring maybe moving by rivers, and rail infrastructure
only sucks such heavily in the USA

Production, too, is not that reliant on oil. Most of the gain of modern
agriculture is not due to mechanization, but due to fertilizers and
pesticides. It's chemistry what brought us prosperity in this field, not
mechanics.

FMRI clusterf*ck: don’t trust FMRI p-values
I don't think it's just you - I found it deeply disturbing as did many other people I knew.

Charlie Stross has a vivid account of his feelings on the subject:

"I'm a child of the 1970s and 1980s; I grew up under the shadow of the mushroom cloud. Prior to the end of the cold war in 1989-91, I don't believe I ever lived more than 10 kilometres from a strategic nuclear target."

http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2013/04/on-the-u...

I think a lot of people who grew up in the Cold War and who contemplated what might actually happen still have that lingering "Lovecraftian horror" from the whole business.
Darwin worked out a theory for how evolution works with supporting evidence. The idea of evolution had been around for a while due to similarities between animals and due to paleontology. But many scientists ridiculed it until Darwin had his convincing theory and evidence.

It has a few built-in syntaxes (including Markdown), and can render those out to HTML (including some generic templating for having static CSS/JavaScript).

My Mac just went belly up - a software corruption in my encrypted partition has rendered Mac OSX unusable. I took it to Apple, they spent over an hour throwing every piece of software they had at it. Their own diagnostic tools were freezing up from this issue. The tests that did run indicated no problem with the physical hardware, and indeed Windows runs flawlessly.

So their totally shit software destroyed itself and they don't have the tools to fix it. Now they're recommending forensic recovery and of course they won't pay the $500-1000 for that.

I think I'll be sticking with Windows from now on.
Microsoft deserves every bit of ridicule lobbed its way for adding advertising to it's start menu in Win10. That being said they aren't the only offender, my iPhone has a folder of apps called Apple Trash filled with Apple's collection of worthless default apps that can't be removed from iOS.
Free/cheap real time stock market API's
Looking for a good solution for pulling real time stock market data. A list of some of the data I want to pull can be seen below:

•	Euro Stoxx 50
•	FTSE 100
•	Nikkei 225
•	Global Aggregate Bond Index (LEGATRUU:IND)
•	Global High Yield Index (LG30TRUU:IND)
•	EUR-USD

Preferably the API would have a python client that can be used or over HTTPS is also fine.

This is a great idea. Right now my team has an onboarding script we maintain in a Git repo and we prepopulate a separate known_hosts file with our validated keys, but from that point forward each person maintains it themselves. It'd be nice to see some automation around SSH key validation. For instance, if from Keybase we could publish our SSH public key and additionally have some sort of facility to integrate with OpenSSH locally so we can use the NACL functions to maintain a signed/verified copy of a known_hosts file locally.

The known_hosts file is kind of a weak point for SSH security when using public key auth, and I'd love to see something external that can improve upon this.
Sounds like good advise - make a big enough potential client base and always keep in touch!
Thanks for your reply.
