Macrium Reflect is superb.

Last year when migrating to a new HDD I cloned the Windows partition using Clonezilla, just to be met with BSOD immediately. I wasted 2 days trying to figure out what's the problem, Windows boot recovery, driver injection etc. After 2 days I created a Macrium Reflect live media, cloned the original partition again with it and voila! Windows booted successfully in the first try.

I'll never use Clonezilla again because I value my time.

ah ok, thanks for the information.
>Palm/HP execs lamented this fact when they unveiled the Pre 3 and Touchpad, as they often wanted to use the same parts but found Apple had gotten there before them.

Isn't that how economies of scale and bulk ordering is supposed to work?
There were preparations for such a case in West Germany: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_bunker_%28Germany%2...
The english article also mentions Fallex 66, where for the first time, politicians were involved in a (favorable setting of a) NATO war game.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Apple will never back down on USB-C.

Not now, not ever.

In a perfect universe, any plug will fit into any port, you wouldn't need to worry about adapters, and you wouldn't need to worry about interoperability.

That's the future that Apple is counting on, and they think that they can bring it about by making every customer who buys the single most popular laptop on the planet a forced user.
Which modern protocols even existed back then? IP? TCP? FTP?
The answer is simple: a software developer classified as 'senior' by the Government (e.g. age of 65 in Canada) :-)
7 Keys to Teaming with the Right Mentor for Success
Unix linkers give an error if any symbol is defined in multiple object files, different or not. After all the object files have been combined, remaining undefined symbols are resolved by searching the specified libraries in command line order. Each object from a library that provides a needed definition is selected and its undefined symbols are added to the global list. Some linkers will scan the libraries a second time in order to resolve interdependencies. If at the end of this, the combined set of object files (from command line and from libraries) contain more than one definition for any symbol, an error is raised. The MSVC linker is apparently much more lax in this regard.

With the inline semantics defined by C99 there are two solutions to this problem:

1. Use static inline. Any non-inlined calls will result in an instance of the function with internal linkage. Aside from wasting space with multiple copies of the same function it is harmless. As mentioned, an optimising linker might even merge identical functions across compilation units.

2. Use inline without explicit extern. Non-inlined calls result in an undefined external reference to be resolved by the linker with a definition provided elsewhere. The inline definition is only used when the function is actually inlined and never provides a non-inline definition of the function, internal or external.

Neither of these approaches result in duplicate definitions with external linkage, so the described problem cannot arise.

It's disappointing that Microsoft seem to have chosen the one approach to inline functions that results in this sort of breakage.
It's a phrase from the west coast, from Chinook language. Roughly means good/strong/powerful in common (i.e. BC, maybe Washington state?) parlance.

So OP is saying you need a good GPU for this game.
Are you sure that we have no technology at all that would produce gasoline
from heavier fractions of oil? I think we have, only they're not as cost
efficient as simple distillation, which can rapidly change if lighter
fractions become less available.

As far as I know, we neither exploit nor track the deposits of heavier oil.
> It is reasonable to keep up-to-date with Mac hardware if you use computers a lot. If things go wrong, it is far easier to take the laptop to the Genius Bar than options for other laptops.

To be honest, the best service I so far was with my Lenovo machines.. Next-(work-)day technician on site, whether I'm at a customer or at home.

Now with my MacBook Pro with Apple Care they have to send it in to replace the screen.. (According to the Apple Store personell here at least)
That's not the point you made though. You specifically said that it's hard to overconsume fat and protein.

It really isn't. When we look at what obese people eat they aren't just eating too much sugar. They're eating too much of everything, including fat.

Cutting out the sugar would help (especially because it's often a pointless addition with a painless substitution eg soda to non-sugar soda), but it would not be enough.
> I use Safari instead of Chrome for precisely this reason.

He mentions this:

"Swapping Chrome out for Safari increased battery life for some sites, but I noticed others really chewed through battery, meaning it came out about even."
That's really a great point. The title should relate to what the developer can effect for the organization, not the length of employment or other like factors.
ha yes! I don't have a TV but waste hours on the internet instead. Streaming shows, skimming think pieces and their comment sections (that's a form of masochism), clicking through listicles with funny pictures (that's a form of retardation). It's bad in different way. The only advantage I think is that the internet is not "loud", fewer pundits yelling, or bit narrators yapping in that childish cadence. It's a huge time-suck nonetheless.
> I’m afraid that my idea get stolen

https://sivers.org/multiply
He did say it came to about even between Chrome and Safari. Maybe Chrome upped their game and is better at the battery usage, or did the new MbP optimize for it?
He says: Earn a lot, spend little, invest the difference. Once the revenue of your investments covers your spending, retire. That's what he's saying. And the key is indeed living frugally, which makes it all easier.
And yes, he rents out houses, that's his investment.
I don't see anything wrong with this.

If everyone was a landlord, then that would be a pretty bad investment now would it?
I've been using Firefox continuously as my only browser since it was in beta and called Phoenix. This has never been even remotely true, at least on my experience.
It's pretty much a universal law of economics: if you make something cheaper, people will find new uses for it and it will get used more.

Self-driving cars reduce the costs of cars quite substantially: risks go down substantially, expands the pool of people who can use it (young, elderly, drunk), the ability to multitask makes the time a commute takes much less expensive, the ability to call a car is hugely convenient.

And of course the fact that you don't need a driver means commercial driving gets a lot cheaper.

I expect self-driving cars to substantially increase the number of cars on the road.
Well for starters you can't use this bacteria and all bacteria interchangeably.

Secondly bacteria of all sorts live in different eco systems. But all bacteria doesn't live in every eco system. They're not subject to the same stresses, attacks, and naturally don't develop immunity to things they're not exposed to and all bacteria aren't always exposed to everything...

You're kind of going all or nothing for millions of species of bacteria and that's obviously overly simplistic. You might as well make the argument that because cheetahs can run 60mph, so shouldn't all vertebrates be capable of that?
Damn, your post came across as extremely crunchy. I get that you think all of us on the west coast of the US are expecting $XXXk a year, but that both is and isn't the case depending on where & what you do. For example, in Seattle F5 Networks will pitch a fresh out of college grad somewhere around $85k a year, whereas most other firms will pitch them $10k higher minimum.

That being said, you have groups like Uwajimaya who pay their IT people on the order of $40k, and expect them to have comparable skills to what the aforementioned companies expect.

Not saying that it isn't unreasonable to tell indie devs they should bundle the incidental costs (cabling, office supplies, etc) and plan for non-consumable items to outlive the current project, but its just a matter of how you present those costs ultimately if you are pitching your first project.

Onto international developers, yes, you definitely shouldn't limit yourself to high cost US based locations if you can avoid that limiting factor, but many managers & organizations are just not up to handling remote working, hence why Google, Adobe, Aliyun, Amazon, Microsoft, etc are all actively sucking up every bit of talent they can hire in this market right now.

They need these employees stateside and ASAP, either due to legal/compliance requirements or due to their own organizational reasons. If you don't want to compete against them, there are great Russian devs you can hire for $12k a year, while also having much better local & international connectivity than many other locations (Manila, anywhere in India, China, etc).

I would not try to touch most of those locations having dealt with connectivity issues in the past, just not worth the hassle to save a few grand a year, only to deal with PLDT providing substandard connectivity that is forced to have a 300ms penalty tacked onto it for transport outside their network.
I definitely read this as "Foster and Parents" and was very confused. But dope, campus looks good!
You buy a brand new MacBook Pro every time it's updated? Isn't that a bit excessive. The performance gains between each update would be almost negligible.

What I don't get from the article, if I'm pissed about the hardware change why am I trying to run Linux on it/my old one?

A) You keep your old laptop and continue to run macOS for as long as possible

B) You're shopping for a new laptop and don't buy Apple, then run Linux

If you keep your old hardware why run Linux on it? I've been looking at who else is out there are making decent laptops that run Linux well (open to suggestions, especially if they have more than 16GB RAM), as I have a feeling my 2015 Retina will be my last MBP.

The hard part for me is that I've gotten used to a certain look and feel with the MBP. That nice solid, rigid body, and the display hinge that just stays. When I pick up a ThinkPad and it creaks and flexes when I open the display or casually pick it up by the corner it makes my skin crawl.

So this might be the reason why some mobile devices (like my ASUS TF700T tablet) degrade in performance so badly over time. Interesting.
Are there any other writings you could point me to? I've never heard of post-phenomenology, but I quite like the perspective. The concept of AI certainly isn't an unfamiliar one, so I imagine there'd be some interesting takes on that -- hopefully from a realistic, non-AGI perspective.

That might be true for narrow-spectrum antibiotics, but broad-spectrum antibiotics target fundamental features that evolved very early so they're universal in bacteria, eg. beta-lactams such as penicillin target the enzymes that bacteria use to make their cell walls. In this case resistance occurs by attacking the antibiotic itself, producing extra enzyme so there's some spare, or tweaking the enzyme so the antibiotic can't harm it. It would be a much bigger story if bacteria were found with a completely different method of cell wall construction.
I use it as the primary way to exchange secrets with others.

This isn't regular use as I don't regularly have secrets, but I've used it to exchange passwords, 2FA QR codes, and other sensitive data like this, with people with whom I'm remotely communicating with.
Anyone that worked with Sun Sparc hardware probably remembers the PROM monitor(SUN's BIOS basically) which was written in Forth and had a Forth interpreter. There's a couple of questions on this FAQ about Forth:

They can't monetize it and because they want people to read their paper instead (watch ads), they shut it down. At least that's what I make of this reading those tweets.
Basically, the benchmark is testing a phone that doesn't run the code for fsync vs. a phone that does. The phone that has a no-op for fsync will clearly be faster at not running any code than the one that actually does what the programmer instructed.

It is like asking what is faster:

def sin(x):
return 0

def sin(x):
actually calculate the sin(x)

More generally, how often do you call fsync in your code? I very rarely call it and generally allow the operating system to write the file to disk when it is convenient.

If calling fsync is critical to your application, then the Moto Z has broken your app by making fsync a no-op. If it isn't critical to your application, then why are you calling it?
At the time they were the only game in town if you wanted OpenGL to run decent(ish) on Windows. It was still a time when you could buy an SGI. Drivers were a mess and price was steep. They weren't a scam, their products just felt lazy-done. Luckily, 'gamer' cards came quickly to OpenGL land.
Machines have been automating away jobs for centuries. What's unprecedented about what's happening (or about to happen) now? I don't see it.
But then exporting the CSV into Excel and doing something becomes part of the workflow. That could possibly be better done in the application.

The barrels/well figure has declined, but only by about 25-30% from the peak.
But of course. California's nascent technology industry was also created by Federal dollars, just look at Ames, Rand, etc, on the left side of the map. The interesting question I was pondering is why the transition from public to private/consumer sector happened in one place but not nearly so much in the other.
In the case of bitcoin, I don't believe anyone could mine their own genesis block and build a chain even remotely approaching the length of the "standard" bitcoin chain. In fact, this applies more generally: after a blockchain has been in existence even a short time, it becomes infeasible for anyone to replace it entirely; at best they can hope to produce a fork from a fairly recent point as anything else would be a DRASTICALLY shorter chain.
It sounds what was happening when AMD, ATi were still seperate entities.
DOE has been an epic failure in the past 30 years. Only a sliver of the budget going to solar cell and battery research. Not sure how much of that was because of congressional earmarks, but Tesla is putting them to shame.
Did they work around the patent, or just decided that it wouldn't hold up in court?
: ) Ok, I will go with this take on it!
As the article hints at, it depends on environment; this particular bacteria was in a very hostile environment, where it had to compete with other bacteria for nutrients. Outside, there's enough room and food for everyone, so there was less of a need to develop resistances.
The only problem with a site like this is that the fake news spreaders are predominantly the people who believe that sources are a liberal conspiracy. So the fake news share-ers will not care if there is no primary source, just like they don't care if there is a snopes article about it.
Non-benign bacteria used to not be resistant to antibiotics, too.
If they're anything like the place I work at it comes down to mindshare. Yes, it's just consuming a Twitter feed and maybe some other proprietary datasource but some exec "needed" an app because then our logo (icon) is on the phone's screen. It's visible and quick for people to access the news feeds instead of going elsewhere.

Sadly, most of the decisions we question are driven by marketing.
I've had two clients tell me that their Google Analytics is getting this spam. Super annoying.

I guess they just send the spam by faking window.navigator.languages or something?
Bacteria can share DNA, there is a plasmid that sort of infects bacteria, and it causes bacteria to create connections with other bacteria. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmid It shares the plasmid DNA, but it also shares other DNA from that one bacteria to another. This allows bacteria to rapidly modify by mixing and matching DNA from other bacteria around them. Obviously bacteria that have traits that are beneficial are selected for. So some pathogenic bacteria that don't have this resistance will be killed by the antibiotic. Some nonpathogenic bacteria that have natural resistance will at some point share the relevant DNA with the pathogenic bacteria, which will then be selected for by the antibiotic, and then you have the new pathogenic antibiotic resistant strain. Or it could happen with some minor mutation, depending on how the antibiotic works, the article is deceptive in saying that resistance doesn't come from antibiotic use.
I meant confirming on BLE device, you mean confirming in the browser. At least from the BLE device side you don't have to explicitly confirm anything as long as the device is broadcasting connectable advetising packets.
I'm not disagreeing with any of your post but one bombardment which I can't stand now that someone "helpfully" pointed it out to me, is when I was a kid and still watched news, "breaking news" complete with animation and breathless commentary and interruption to regular programming, this meant that a pope had died, or Reagan was shot, or a new Russian leader, another war or coup started, or at minimum a major airliner crash, Challenger explosion, that level of significance.

In the 2010s, "breaking news" apparently means early news cycle filler as opposed to late cycle filler that's already been reported 47 times in the last 24 hours, so after the attention grabbing fanfare, the breaking news is the national christmas tree lighting ceremony in DC, or surprisingly it snowed in the winter in the midwest yesterday, or congress is boringly making sausage as usual, while I'm sitting there waiting, come on, whats the breaking news part, did the ISS re-enter, has a political leader died, has a new war begun? And then they go to yet another old person pharmaceutical commercial, because those are the only people who still watch news channels, and I'm all question marks. Where's my important news?
That's what a lot of people think, and that's what the Doom 2016 developers thought -- but it's not true. Serious Sam and Painkiller are games where you walk to a new wide-open area (way wide in SS) and dudes spawn that you have to kill before leaving the area.

Don't get me wrong, this is fun. But Doom was different even from this.

In Classic Doom, the whole map is available right from the start, and every monster already exists in the level. Enemies can sight and chase you from one end of the map to the other if they're alerted and nothing gets in the way. Plus, the haphazard map layout is confusing and disorienting. You really have to overcome and manage the terrain in order to beat back the demon hordes.
We are talking about 1 to 2 cab density here so capex doesn't carry that much weight.

Having a little headroom on your power circuits is also incredibility important, and not every facility will sell 100% rated breakers. It may make more sense to be in a facility with 80% rated breakers than 100%, even with the added capex of an extra PDU or two.

Goes back to my previous comment. What is important to you, at the pod / multiple pod level, isn't as important to the 1-2 cab deployment.

re: piracy: I just released my latest Leanpub book (Haskell Tutorial and Cookbook) 2 weeks ago, and I put a Creative Commons 'share with attribution, no modifications, no commercial reuse' license, and I explicitly tell people that it is legal to share the PDF, ePub, and Mobi files with their friends, and they have my best wishes if they do so.

I have written a number of books and the payout in increased networking with people who are into the same tech as I am, increased consulting business, etc. is awesome. I also make decent passive income from writing, but that is a secondary objective.
Yeah, I can't dig up the source now, but I remember a super-volcano (probably Yellowstone) being widely accepted as the most likely source of the disaster.
IMO the travesty is crippling FP16 on consumer GPUs for exactly the reasons you cite. And given that AMD's Vega GPUs apparently will possess full speed FP16, it appears to be yet another in a long line of arbitrary performance cripplings for the consumer space that is IMO the most annoying feature of CUDA development.

But while FP16 is useful for audio and imaging, FP16 nearly killed NVIDIA over a decade ago* when it lacked the dynamic range for DirectX 9 HDR effects in contemporary games without banding. FP32 was more than enough for the task, but power hungry, and thus NV30 could be used to figuratively fry eggs while AMD GPUs had FP24, which was just enough for these effects.

These days, it's all going in the opposite direction w/r to deep learning, but I find it ironic that INT8/INT16 is missing from the Tesla flagship P100, but present on GP102 and GP104, the consumer GPUs (and yes, I know about Tesla P40, but that lacks fast FP16).

I agree with the top poster that Intel could make quite a comeback here given how far it's currently behind. I also agree that it would be hard to dethrone NVIDIA without higher bandwidth memory, but I don't think that's necessary, a bloody nose is more than enough to turn heads IMO.

Things are different depending on locale. Here in the US, retirees living on a fixed income where their house is most of their net worth have it very different from the wealthy in the UK.
If most smart and educated people in the west work, then quitting that world effectively cuts you off from those interactions. Think bout if you'd rather have every Saturday off or every Wednesday? First and foremost we're social creatures and we do what it takes to stay involved within a social society.

It's not clear if you're asking about solo developer or "solo company" as it were. Anyway, typically if you're doing a startup the advice is to get a partner. Then maybe you're not so solo anymore. If that's not possible, then expect to spend lotsa time on marketing instead of coding :)
