Nah! Any comparison between UK and USA on law enforcement is completely way off the mark. USA is far too diverse and the range of crime far too wide for visual surveillance of public spaces to be common.

To be honest UK police are complete rubbish. They are corrupt and far to cowardly. Large crimes are pushed under the carpet simply because cops do not have the courage to take up the baddies. It takes years for the London cops admit widespread sexual exploitation of young girls by Pakistani gangs. London tend to have no-go streets and their are Sharia courts on the streets of London. I am not sure what UK cops do looking at the footage of white girls harassed on street for wearing a skirt.

American cops use excessive force yet I think they overall do a significantly better job of defending people.

This is precisely what unicorn is meant to do though, it's just a trope of the architecture to use hproxy on top.

Calling fork() internally is ultimately akin to what everyone is going to do. Why not use a library to do this and let that code gradually get tempered to a reliable status?

Since it uses Apple's engine underneath, you can't work around their ban on free codecs in the browser for example. Same goes for support for multiple HTML5 features (how about MSE for starters?). So it is clearly anti-competitive.
We're building desktop applications with HTML now even when we're using them inside a web site. I'm not surprised that programming patterns start looking like the ones of desktop applications. It has been 10 years since I did one, not counting a couple of small Android apps 5 years ago. I remember UI widgets instantiated in a Java file, not much different from what I saw in this post. The next step could be a Visual Basic like UI designer to arrange widgets. Flexbox would help there. Remember that development for the desktop is a kind of solved problem with some will defined tools. JavaScript, HTML, CSS will get there too.
EROEI is not everything. This is a major step forwards a sustainable energy mix, but the major shortcomings of solar and wind are still storage and location dependence.

What I am afraid is that the nuclear renaissance may be further delayed in the west, which is what we badly need now to reduce carbon footprints, provide stable energy production and to fill te gap until fusion gets there. (Which despite the recent great news is still 30 years far, as ever since the 1970s)

As a European as much as I hope that the OPEC shall fall, I am also afraid of the turmoil it may cause as its core states are rumored to be closely linked with the funding of terrorism in the middle east for their political purposes, which recently has reached Europe as well.

Does anyone feel like “always-on” smart devices present a serious danger?
These devices:

- Apple AirPods

- Amazon Echo (and Google, Apple's versions)

- Google Glass, Snapchat glasses

It's a scary thought that the NSA essentially has a permanent wiretap / visual-tap into where-ever you are. Not to mention the awful intrusive advertising that will be possible through VR or Amazon Echo interrupting your day with a garbage ad.

All I can think of is 1984.
Very true. The Mac Pro is eternally reminiscent of a trash can, and it feels hazardous leaving it out in the open, because maybe someone might actually mistake it for one and drop an empty coffee cup in it.

The lack of expandability makes it feel like a doomed purchase, and costing more than $2,000 means spending on something that might prove obsolete in a year (or possibly less) feels extremely frivolous.

Extensible hardware allows us to rationalize a big purchase with the mindset that there's an intent to future-proof with an investment that allocates room for growth.

That concept does not exist with the Mac Pro form factor at all. The purchase is not even slightly user-servicable. Only a subscription to a service/maintenance agreement (read: applecare) provides nigh-full-replacement insurance. And basically, you're just paying for the privilege to gamble. You'll never get to change your old toy into a new toy.

10 Delightful Ways to Keep Your Team Motivated About Your Idea
Yes, but the various methane extraction methods are leaky, hydraulic fracking worst of all. So while you do burn some of it to produce less harmful CO2, a lot also escapes into the atmosphere.

Another interesting factor to consider is the residency time of the different gases. Methane breaks down fairly quickly, while CO2 needs to be sequestered, which is currently done quite slowly via biological processes. Methane is extremely bad in the short term, but measured over a long period (100 years) does in fact trap less heat.

However, we're not on a timeline where we can worry about 100 year effects. Our current warming trajectory will almost entirely destroy coral reefs in about 30 years, and estimates vary on the threshold for runaway effects (Methane calthrates, reduced primary production due to ocean acidification, etc) but the large majority of them are well below the 100 year threshold.

Tl;DR: Natural gas might cause less warming over a long period, but it causes more in the near term, and we're screwed if we don't fix things in the near term.

I bring up hydraulic fracking because it's the primary driver behind the renewed push for natural gas. The United States has suddenly become one of the most competitive producers of natural gas, so strong domestic forces are now lobbying for it.

The one application where natural gas does have a decent advantage is base-load grid energy generation. Renewables like wind and solar are variable, and we need controlled inputs with rapid responses to help integrate them into the grid. Gas turbines are the most responsive fossil fuel systems by a wide margin, so they serve a decent purpose there. This should only be viewed as a stop-gap until we develop grid-scale storage through EV networks and such though.

Isn't this the same as the gaming-oriented laptops that have offered external hot-pluggable docks for dedicated GPUs in the past?

Iirc there are even generic Thunderbolt based docks that could hook up some of the beefiest desktop GPUs to a laptop.

The CPU aspect is still an issue, but high end full voltage mobile CPUs are pretty powerful, and can still scale down power usage.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is Hamilton's argument for having Electors cast the actual ballots for President without necessarily being beholden to how their state voted.

>Hamilton viewed the system as superior to direct popular election. First, he recognized, the "sense of the people should operate in the choice", and would through the election of the electors to the Electoral College. Second, the electors would be:

> "men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station and acting under circumstances favorable to deliberation, and to a judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements which were proper to govern their choice."

>Such men would be "most likely to have the information and discernment" to make a good choice, and avoid the election of anyone "not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications".

They are, unless you want to know what went wrong. Then the fundamental problems with the library design sorta beat you over the head.

Burning natural gas produces only half as much carbon dioxide as burning coal.

I think this "assurance" pretty much confirms for me that Apple has internally begun to shift even more resources away from the Mac and the Macbook.

Yes, my point is that even though numpy provides a "black box" set of functions, using them is so unnatural (at least for me) that I was forced to completely understand what the numpy functions were doing internally to have any hope of using them.

In fact, now that I think about it, the first assignment asked us to write a 2-loops-in-python version of some function (batch linear classifier, I think), then a 1-loop version, then a 0-loop version, and I often repeated this procedure on subsequent harder questions.

That was an useful thing I wasn't expecting to learn from the course - how to vectorize code for numpy (including using strange features like broadcast and reshape)

I think a lot of people see todays taxi company being tomorrows ground transport ruler, once self driving cars are ubiquitous.

The theory being less people will own cars. The savings made on storage/parking, fuel and maintenance will be greater than paying for individual rides (with no labour costs).

The car manufactures would no longer be the company the consumer interact with. i.e. How much does the average consumer care if they are picked up in a Lexus or a Toyota for the average ride?

This would put the car manufacturers in competition for the taxi companies business commoditizing the car industry.

Who knows what will happen? Maybe regulation will prevent self driving cars becoming ubiquitous? or maybe some advance in manufacturing makes it much cheaper to own self driving cars.

But speculation that Uber pulls this off is the only way that I can see how Uber is worth over $60Bn (more than ford $50Bn ish, GM $50Bn ish, Nissian $45Bn ish) while making a $0.8Bn loss on $1.7Bn revenue - as a gamble for what might end up owning a $400Bn+ market.

You wash the vegetables before they go in the fridge and don't store them in produce bags right? Maybe let the banana go brown then freeze, until there's enough for banana bread. Otherwise those ingredients can work in a stir fry, or even a curry.

Sun Ray was pretty nice, but I want the opposite. I carry a ok processor, storage, and some memory that can hook to a dock which gives me more processing, storage, and memory.

I think this is like arguing that Amazon would never be worth a Billion dollars because there aren't enough book buyers.

If we were talking about Uber's current model then you're 100% correct. But if we look at all to where they're going there's tremendous potential.

They bought Otto - which is arguably the leader in self driving trucking and they have self driving trucks on the road right now. If they're able to capture say 20% of the trucking market 10 years from now that's tremendous. They're in a legal fight in SF because they're trying to get self driving cars going. What are their numbers going to look like when they aren't paying drivers anymore?

I'm skeptical of the notion that the big auto manufacturers (who had a conniption fit at the mere notion of Tesla selling cars direct, instead of through a dealership) nimbly setting up autonomous, on demand fleets of vehicles which destroy their dealership network and also cost them half of their revenue.

Yes, they are losing money, but they're playing a very different game than the local taxi company.

Being overweight.

What you eat MOSTLY dictates your weight. Your fitness level MOSTLY only impacts your medium-long term health. Yes, broad strokes, but more true than untrue.

Being overweight and trying not to be overweight requires a LOT of mental energy and trying to fight the sugar addiction/control diet is genuinely exhausting.

If I got fit, I'd still be fat, and it would sap the little mental energy I have to spare that I use for weight loss/control at the moment. It may also give me a false sense of achievement. Plus if I'm not careful I could fuck up my knees indefinitely.

I look at fitness goals as something I'd do when I am in the "Overweight" BMI region rather than the "Obese" one. But even then I'd likely look at HIIT[0] because I think I'd do it more consistently than several hours at the gym (even if it has less health gains, it is "good enough").

It gets better. Take a look at rktlet, a CRI implementation for rkt (EDIT: I originally mistakenly wrote Docker). Specifically the runtime [1], which ends up shelling out to the "rkt" binary.

So you end up running a new daemon that communicates with Kubernetes via gRPC, that then spawns rkt anyway. So you get to RPC and fork/exec.

I'm sure that ends up "optimized away" at some point by e.g. having a rkt CRI implementation that just links in the relevant rkt code. But I'm left wondering why we need this complexity in the first place.

> “Some folks in the media have raised the question about whether we’re committed to desktops,” Cook wrote. “If there’s any doubt about that with our teams, let me be very clear: we have great desktops in our roadmap. Nobody should worry about that.”

Having them in the roadmap only does so much, though; people need to buy computers now, and having some unspecified (but "great") computers that will come out at some unspecified later date isn't the same as having up-to-date computers now, and it doesn't show that when those computers in the roadmap do materialize, that they won't be left fallow for years as these were.

We would have needed nuclear yesterday. Right now renewables are the most promising path. New nuclear probably wouldn't make a dent until it's already too late.

Of course we need storage and backup generators for renewables. It will be mostly pumped water with gas and oil. Nuclear does not fit as a backup.

In the future, the pricing must include renewables PLUS their backup plan (e.g. a gas generator on standby) to achieve level pricing and availability.

Having a large grid and moving to more flexible consumers in order to distribute and smoothen out supply and demand will also be a huge factor.

In the end I'm positive that it can be done.
Amazon WorkSpaces is just VNC/Remote Desktop-type tech. You get a desktop computer in the cloud, which you connect to as a thin client.

Yea, I'm super confused on how this snippet of code is meant as evidence of un-separated concerns. He even says it contains styling, but it absolutely does not.

Sure, if someone does React incorrectly, they will inter-mingle code that could make working on it painful, but that's true of vanilla HTML/JS/CSS as well.

Having developed using React for a bit now after years of using mostly vanilla JS/jQuery, I would never go back if I can help it. It's much nicer to write code that generates markup rather than code that manipulates markup.

The biggest issue with funding is that, many times, the only reason you need it is that someone else has it. If you are competing for market share with someone willing/able to take losses, it's not going to be a pretty fight. The best you can do is take things one step at a time and hope the other guys screw up, but there's a very real chance you're screwed.
What sort of thing did you have in mind? If you look at some of the other tools widely used in conjunction with React, the entire Redux ecosystem is about maintaining application state and systematically updating it in response to whatever events might be interesting in your system. There are libraries like Immutable.js, which like React itself is provided by Facebook, to help manage an immutable underlying data store. I imagine any decent tutorial material about using those together would provide some better examples than the contrived to-do list example from the tweet.

I’d like to repeat here that React doesn’t require that you use that particular style of architecture, and there are plenty of reasonable alternatives. However, hopefully those examples should suffice to demonstrate that separation of underlying state from UI rendering and responding to interactions makes as much sense with React as in other contexts and is widely employed in practice.
Look again; it doesn't mix presentation and (business) logic. It's all view, with the added bonus of not needing to code state transitions in the view.

For disks USB is alright but it's always been kinda flaky compared to SATA or PATA. The only external port I've used for external HDs that's been as stable as internal connections was FireWire, which unfortunately never really took off.
