Yes, bare metal. However, the libraries and tooling are somewhat limited once you start moving into more professional/commercial applications.

MMU vs non-MMU turns out to be one of the limiting factors. I've experimented some with Cortex M0 boards. But fullscale Arm boards (e.g. NanoPi, OrangePis, RPi Zero) are approaching the cost points of small atmel and most non-mmu chips. So Ideally something that supports MMU and non-MMU as well could be interesting.

Do you have any recommendations for chips which might support RTEMS or microkernels like Lk / sel4?

Thank you for the great work. It's very useful.
If you are interested in learning more about the history and failure of US job training I recommend "The Job Training Charade".

Essentially it is one of those policies that sounds good and appeals to both sides of the aisle. However decades of experience with different programs has shown it doesn't work.

There is even a study mentioned in the book showing a statistically significant negative impact of job training on employment.

I'd say Xeons are actually less confusing, given that they have an actual naming convention[1].

EX = product line

vX = generation

The clock speed omission is a bummer, but Xeons have two different clock speeds on all processors (one turbo -- which only a certain percentage of the cores can hit simultaneously), so things are a bit more complicated.

I work for chatbot building platform: http://deeppixel.ai/. We use state-of-the-art ensemble of deep learning algorithms that try to understand the meaning of sentences by taking the whole sentence as well as bag of words/bag of ngrams. In addition to that, we use classic NLP techniques like POS tagging, constituency parsing, dependency parsing, Named Entity Recognition (NER), clustering.
I'm having a difficult time finding what is included in the box from the official website. "Sensor Technology", "Basic Tools", these trigger alarm bells in my head. The biggest cost component seems to be for the solar power, which I believe is used to power the irrigation system. Overall this sounds costly, has few details about the components need for farming, and shows off bells and whistles like "solar power, micro-drip irrigation, wi-fi and cloud, and data mapping".
Does the A10 have 12 cores? No, it has 2 (technically has 4 but only 2 can be active at any time).

Also it's 4 year old Xeon. If you're going to compare it to a 4 year old Xeon, compare it to the 2 core versions, which will have much higher clocks.

Yeah, people tend to overlook the role climate plays in these comparisons. There's an enormous difference in cycling's viability as a primary means of transportation in a place like the Netherlands where average high temperatures rarely exceed 75, as opposed to Texas where a typical summer will have a prolonged period of temps in the 90s and multiple 100+ days.

The average high temperature in Amsterdam's warmest two months is 70F.[0]

Austin's average high temp is warmer than that for every month except December, January and February. In the warmest months, the average highs are 96 and 97. [1]

I think that statement applies to all vendors, generally.
> the United States still has a very, very flat social hierarchy.

Disagree somewhat. In northern Europe, public transport is used by pretty much everyone (broad sample of society from all strata). Most everyone goes to comparable public schools. University quality has much smaller variance than in the USA (there's not exactly MIT, but also not exactly Trump U.) In other words, there's a fairly broad common life. The CEO of a company certainly has a good life, but the janitor will have a decent life, too, with 4 weeks mandatory vacation and enough money to fly to Spain for vacation, and health insurance and unemployment insurance etc.

In the US, different strata of society interact far less. There are different schools, different super markets, gated communities - even the humiliating TSA experience is avoided by the rich using General Aviation terminals.

Inequality in the US is much larger than in northern Europe, notwithstanding Zuckerberg's wearing jeans.

TL;DR: In the US, you have superficial equality hiding tremendous inequality, while in Europe you have visible inequality on top of substantial equality.

Your claim about obesity being psychologically caused ignores the growing amount of research indicating that gut flora may very well impact decisionmaking, stress response and anxiety/depression [1]. Gut bacteria can even create and dispatch their own neurotransmitters [2].

You're firmly claiming causal direction on something the current research no longer supports. Psychology may be a result of digestive biome (or at least influenced by), rather than the seminal cause as you seem to think.

Edit: none of the above is to claim causality in the other direction, but to point out that the absolute nature of the claims you are making is not necessarily borne out by the prevailing research.

> Fat is constantly being stored and burned as energy even within a caloric balance.

Sure, but (barring lean/fat changes due to exercise level), thats no net change in stored fat.

> You cannot store fat longterm without at some point eating at a caloric surplus.

Right, that's how it got stored in the first place. Once it's stored, though, you can keep the same quantity indefinitely without a surplus.
NEKEITH – LOOKING
I can tell you right now why they do things this way: it reduces the bargaining power of the teacher to demand a higher salary. If you want to negotiate a salary with someone, the last thing you want is for them to be able to claim to be unique- if their lesson plan is prescribed, the test are prescribed, etc, then all you really need is to hire someone who can follow instructions, and if that person doesn't follow their instructions they can be easily replaced, on the cheap. Turning people into machines is what we Americans do best.
You can achieve the same in any Turing complete language.

However, composition and parametrization require up-front design and are usually only viable for large-ish variations.

As the parent said, inheritance handles the case of refinement, that is, programming by difference, which composition and parametrization handle with difficulty (if planned for) or not at all (if not planned for).

The bad rap inheritance gets is that it is often misused in places where composition or parametrization were appropriate. But that's just the old "it hurts when I poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick": don't do that.

The practical usefulness of classes in C++ comes not from an "object-orientedness" that they supposedly give the language. It comes from the fact that they are merely a mechanism that can be used to create abstract data types, thereby providing a better encapsulation, and do many other things, rather than a policy saying that every object must be an instance of a class. So, one has to be careful when talking about classes, because they may effectively mean different things in different programming languages, even though on the surface they may look similar or appear to serve the same purpose.

> First, you can auto update extensions distributed via your own web server. It says so right in Apple’s docs how to do it:

Only Safari extensions installed from the Safari Extensions Gallery can be

> So it implies that Apple is forcing a switch to the Safari App Extension model, but there doesn’t seem to be any evidence of that.

The future of extensions development takes place in Xcode [1]

As of Safari 10.0 on macOS 10.11.5, Safari extensions are created as app
extensions in Xcode. New extensions are wrapped in a containing macOS app and
are distributed and sold on the App Store. If you have created an extension
with the methods described in this document, consider transitioning to the new
extensions model. [2]

I am employing a method this year that works around the question of "for programmers" and focuses on a cycle of clean, then practice, then apply, where as I go up each level, I aim to be in a more intensive state than the previous, and most crucially, I do this each time I sit down to do project work.

There is nothing stopping me from turning the practice phase into "work on problems from TAOCP" or something, but I've left it open to let me practice other things like 3D programs or music or other new software. Likewise the cleaning phase could mean "do dishes" or it could mean "uninstall software". The point is the mindset I'm bringing to the task and not the task.
I'm excited about this quite a bit, but does YC have any experts on water & science/engineering in general? "lower-cost desalination plants, novel purification technologies" are technical science & engineering problems often closely tied to academia & research. Fortunately though there are some great resources in the Bay Area in these fields.

Great insight on continuing patent applications. I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment that overly broad patents, particularly with respect to technology, need serious review. It is way too easy to patent a concept instead of an invention.

An example to illustrate my point is a patent such as this: http://www.google.com/patents/US20140244001

Which basically says, I haven't actually invented anything useful, but if anyone else does they should have to pay me because I thought of something super generic first.
Yeah, those people are so judgemental.
I don't know about the laws in the US but in Sweden it's not classified as gambling if it's skill based.
The gendering of the term is a small problem. The big problem is that it connotes things that are no longer true of the role. For instance: nurse-practitioners are first-line health care professionals whose job isn't to assist doctors (as most nurses do), but rather to prevent people from needing to see them in the first case, even when they're ill.

The market as a whole needs to come to the understanding that we (a) need a kind of "doctor-lite" for people to go see, and (b) that we have them already: we call them nurses, but should call them something else.

Not many people feel they can switch careers in mid-life to become a doctor. But people routinely go to nursing school for a career switch. It would be good if more people did this, specifically to get NP status.
People mention it here on occasion for how it handles string processing. Experts in such things might want to dive deep in a review of it for the rest of us.
I was involved in exploring using Bitcoin in online tournament payouts for various arcade games and board games and spoke with an experienced lawyer.

The US is a patchwork of state laws on gambling, payout structures, differing definition of game, chance, whether it is a lottery, whether it's considered fair, etc etc, the conditions are a dense briar and at any time any attroney general of any of the states can decide you're in violation of state law and ruin your life.

Be extremely careful, do not attach your real name to this project, or be sure to never step foot in the US, the laws this is violating can easily land you in prison for decades.
The Biggest Tech Hardware Fails of 2016
Honestly though, I think even in PC gaming, the processor is not where the bottleneck is at.

In the early 2000's, buying a new processor every year would yield noticeable returns in gaming performance. Once we entered the console port life cycle (circa 2008), where the performance of the dominant consoles defined what developers put in games, I found that from 2010-2014 I was able to use the same processor (and not a top of the line one) with no trouble, and only an intermediate graphics card upgrade.

I'm now on the core that I bought in 2014, and I honestly expect it to be good until 2020. We'll see a bit more get juiced out of graphics cards, but we're nearing a stage where the cost of making graphics good enough to overwhelm modern graphics cards will be so high that it won't make sense from a cost/benefit perspective. At that point, I expect CUDA applications to be the driving force behind graphics card R&D.
