One piece of hardware I'm very excited about is LowRISC: they're developing a fully open-source SoC, including open source chips, SoC and firmware.

I think it's the most promising platform for formally verified computing, because it's open and thus possible to model and verify all the way down.
I was surprised to see that half of the banks dont accept mastercard and half of the rest was somehow out of service. I can imagine there is quite a banking hassle. Thanks for the offer. Maybe i need to come back to it, but so far everything is nice (except the internet, where both 4G and the hotel Wifi fail every other hour).

From all the interesting dishes, what do i have to try?
The instruction `repne scasb`[1] stood out. `repne X` means "while (not equal) { X; }". How is `repne` implemented? Is `repne scasb` assembly shorthand for a `scasb` then a `jne`? Or is `repne` some fancy higher-order instruction which takes another instruction as its argument?

> All recreational drugs should be legalized.

I very strongly disagree that _all_ recreational drugs should be legalized. To some extent, I agree on the less addictive substances (marijuana, psilocybin), but not on drugs that are surprisingly addictive, such as heroin, methamphetamine, or cocaine.

Besides interpersonal harm (such as overdoses, intoxicated driving and its victims, economic decision making, spread of disease from sharing needles), the societal impact would be non-trivial with increased availability of intoxicants for people that rely on government services or otherwise are not net contributors to society. Legalizing recreational drugs while also believing in a societal "safety net" suggests also a level of comfort of increased taxation to subsidize the increasing numbers of addicted people, as well as providing increased medical and police services to communities.
I think this is a pretty interesting piece of code. Something trivial via non-trivial (something that we don't do everyday) set of calls.

Well, not all at once, that number (USD 1.5T, the 2T number is CAD) is cumulative from 1995-2013, per the article.
The difference is that with the one DS we know it's accurate because anything beyond 2 Gb simply doesn't work. So that DS is accurate. On the other hand we know that with Clarksdale more than 2 Gb does, in fact, work, just like they work on Lynnfield. As one would expect, it's the same silicon after all.

...which is crucial since you don't want to lose your data when closing the lid. (Non-tech-term is on purpose here, since users shouldn't need to know about the difference. Also I believe OSX uses a hybrid approach).
It'll also have a great deal of wasted space, more moving parts, more breakable components, less structural support, additional hardware and software validation requirements, and require some careful engineering to avoid having it fall over backward when you open the screen slightly past vertical (battery cells work nicely as a counterweight). All for a laptop that wouldn't sell as well because people do care about size and weight.

Getting the same battery capacity would require a battery much larger than the classic removable ThinkPad battery; you'd need a system where you can remove a battery 60-80% the size of the chassis.

On the flip side, you can still replace the battery after a few years when it loses enough of its capacity; it just requires a bit more work. And for people who want more battery capacity and currently swap batteries for that, the trend towards using USB-C as the universal charging port will make it easier to have compatible external batteries, that will also work with your phone and other devices.

> a relatively senior teacher, looks like she'll get an annual pension of ~£20,000 if she retires at 60, which is probably equivalent to a private annuity of £500,000.

There is the problem. I've had a 8% pension in the programming sector since I was 20, my projections are for £300,000 by age 67 and £10,000 retirement income.

Teachers get 12 weeks off a year and to retire 7 years earlier on double the pension.

Personally, I'm retraining to be a teacher.

Pension calculators from the likes of legal and general show that you need vast pension contributions to match public sector employees. To match a teacher it recommended I made a 15% contribution, is any private sector company offering that?

Tunnel boring, digging and other soil/earth works are the big cost factors, the required logistics, and regulatory processes (permits, permits and making sure that you have a plan when you close important lanes on streets and avenues of a big and busy city - so traffic engineering).

The crossovers probably cost so much because they're underground and require extra tunnel space. (They require extra (as in between the two-or-more tracks that are being switched) foundations above ground too, which is probably more expensive than the switch itself.)

However, I'd like to see a cost breakdown.
Tokyo's newest subway the Fukutoshin line, spanning some of Tokyo's most congested areas (Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro), cost around $250m/km, so still around 1/4 of the NYC cost.
It's great to see a solution that works using some basic hardware and existing blinds. Not only does that make it incredibly cheap compared to commercial alternatives, but it also doesn't require implementation at time of construction (or a major renovation).

I recently have been working on the technical aspects of building a new house for my aging parents. We went with Lutron's Serena shades, because we also used Lutron's light controls and they feature both Nest and Alexa integration. Construction hasn't been completed yet, so I can't fully report on the final result. But, my initial tests have gone well and setup was simple. For reference, the per-shade cost is around $600 installed. Basic shades of similar quality would likely be $150-200 each, so it's a fair bit more but not outrageous.

I considered a DIY approach, but then thought about the primary users and realized an off-the-shelf solution would be best. Even in your own home, it's hard to overstate the importance of reliability and ease of use for your spouse, kids, guests, etc.

The X1 does not offer docking stations nor does it offer the port range that a T460s offers (full ethernet, card reader, etc). The T460s is a few mm thicker than the X1 and about 200g heavier, but it shares a lot of hardware with and can use the same dock as the X260, T460 and T460p which is interesting if you're a business customer that wants to support a range of options from ultra-portable to powerful.

If you're a single freelance person or consumer, the X1 may be the more appealing choice.

My 2 cents about thinkpad, I have an x230 and am very happy with it.

3. Same resolution but smaller monitor and smaller overall size makes for easier traveling imo.

7. I have the exact same issue with hitting the touch pad when typing, but I've learned to go slower and avoid it.

8. I first ordered the x230 by accident with the larger battery and was amazed at the working time of 12-15 hours but it was also quite bulky. So I re-ordered with my missing keyboard backlight and with the slimmer battery and I'm quite happy with the slimmer form-factor while still having a good 6 hours of work time.

11. It's clearly not a media machine, it even lacks shortcut keys for pause/play media.

I often find it interesting the propensity to name things. In my opinion, this approach should be self-evident once the concept of unit tests is correctly understood - prepare the data, run the code, check the output.

I suppose this is another case where a common approach is given a name so that people can refer to it to each other and pass it onto others. I wouldn't have thought to name this one, though - I would rather teach a junior engineer how to think about what a test should do, instead of telling him to do "AAA".

With experience, I have seen the effect of something being given a name eventually leading to less experienced people treating it as a universal principle and wielding it as if all they have is a hammer, perhaps before having formed the habits of checking assumptions before making decisions, etc.

Except for the fact you'll need external energy.

Furthermore, it probably won't be able to heat itself enough when the surroundings cool down below a certain treshold, something that could very likely happen when a new ice age hits.
"Or the same users using it more, or the increase in tumbling services or anything really."

Ludicrous. There is no way this 8x tx growth is due in its entirety to the same userbase using Bitcoin 8x more. Or the same userbase somehow deciding their bitcoins need 8x more tumbling. For starters, tumbling leads to long tx chains and even when ignoring these long chains the tx rate has still increased by the same 8x amount: https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions-excluding-chai...

We are not talking about 20% growth, or 50%, or even 2x, where your argument of "the same users using Bitcoin more" might hypothetically be valid. But EIGHT X growth. If Bitcoin is so useful that its userbase uses it 8x more over a span of 3 years, it is impossible that Bitcoin gained ZERO new users in that period.

At the very least, you can't be aware of this 8x growth and write matter-of-factly that Bitcoin "hasn't succeeded anywhere" (or no one will take you seriously.)

Note: I'm not claiming an 8x tx rate growth means an 8x userbase growth. Maybe the userbase grew 4x and existing users use it 2x more, but even that would be a sign of success for Bitcoin.

Brief replies to your other most important points (going to bed): ATMs: they do account for decommissioned ATMs (the stats may be delayed eg. updated only after a user reporting the ATM as no-longer-existent). But even assuming the stats failed to report say 100 ATM decommissioned per year, the # of ATMs would still be increasing quite nicely... MSFT: I meant the "largest publicly traded company to accept Bitcoin" with my point being that attracting very large companies to accept it is, again, a sign of success for Bitcoin. 21 LLC: here my point was that attracting VC investment (even if 2016 investments are down compared to 2015) is a sign of success. Overstock: yes they report very low Bitcoin payments. But does it mean Bitcoin "hasn't succeeded anywhere"? No! See above.

Bottom line, with the tx rate increasing, # of ATMs increasing, # of merchants increasing, investments in companies, etc (even accounting for error margins for your concerns) you can't stick your head in the sand and claim truthfully that Bitcoin "hasn't succeeded anywhere". This was an untrue statement for you to make.

PS: I doubt seeing an upward trend in the Coinbase MAU numbers would convince you. You are the "climate change denier" of Bitcoin, so you would probably claim their users are speculators and not legit users :)

Follow up as it is too late to edit and I want to note an observation: this is why I dislike naming things unnecessarily. Giving an approach a name leads many people to treat it as some sort of absolute, because It Has Been Named, and to use it without question.

We should try to understand why we do the things we do instead of applying Named Methods because since they are named they must be absolute.

I am being hyperbolic for effect, but I do believe that this is a real effect, and I personally do hesitate to name things that don't really need a name.

It will, and this is indeed what Nyquist tells us. Think about the engineering challenges involved in producing an exact staircase output! A stepped signal isn't nearly as beautiful. Most DACs today are also of the delta-sigma variety which produce something much more sinister. But that's all fine, as long as we describe the output signal. There can be overtones high up in the ultrasound for example.

The output filters are then what produces the nice signal you listen to. Bad output filters can produce artifacts that sometimes hearable, especially in DACs from the 80s, but if you to stick to the suggested implementation of commercially available DACs today then you should be fine.

Quantization errors is more problematic since they can appear anywhere in the post production chain. When you're in the digital domain you can get all sorts of aliasing artifacts just as you get for images. I think this is a common source of when people can hear differences between 44 and 96 kHz signals, where they just downsampled with a linear filter and they hear artifacts of this resampling. A little quantization noise will take care of that, and competent software such as sox and audacity will do this for you.
Why would they contribute?

1. Zurich city

2. English is enough for working in IT. Live gets a lot easier if you know German in German-speaking Switzerland, French in western Switzerland or Italian in Tessin (southern Switzerland)

5. 10 years in total, 1.5 years as project manager in an agency, 8 years in a big utilities company. Had a side business for web development since 2009.

Looking back I would say getting that job was even easier than finding a new job in Germany. Developers are searched for so you can easily apply to open vacancies even if they do not explicitly search for foreigners. I can recommend jobs.ch as a source for jobs.
Asperger's used to be classified separately but is now considered part of the autism spectrum. That said, I don't think this was done primarily because of a consensus over there being just one 'fundamental type' of autism.

As I understand it, there isn't even a consensus on any theory of what autism fundamentally is. Some theories try to explain the social issues as a lack of Theory Of mind, but these theories don't cover the many other symptoms typical of autism. One more recent theory ('Intense Worlds') does present a 'fundamental' explanation for all/most symptoms, but AFAIK it's not well-accepted or supported by evidence (yet), and the fact that it explains so much is also considered a drawback (too vague / overfitting / whatever the term is).

> Or, even if they were in some sense fundamentally the same, is your argument that their effects are so practically different that they ought to be called by distinct names anyway?

I've noticed that there seems to be a movement in treatment approach that focuses on treating individual symptoms without focusing too much on the overarching 'labels'. In my experience it's been a very nice, down to earth approach, and it strikes me as more measurable too. This approach strikes me as particularly useful for autism because there's so much variation between different autists and the particular symptoms they exhibit.
With the caveat that I haven't invested the full amount of time necessary to strongly state this opinion publicly, I do feel that metaprogrammed tests are a case of adding abstraction unnecessarily (which, incidentally, is why I haven't taken the time to try to extensively use them on a project.)

A test should be dead simple to read and understand when someone else new to the project needs to understand what it tests. Further, when a test fails, the output should clearly indicate exactly on what line of code an error occurred.

Metaprogramming tests feels to me like a case of a desire for or predilection for cleverness getting in the way of what the task is actually for.

Tests should tell a story. They should not be subjected to the same methods of abstraction used in the code they themselves are supposed to test and verify.
There's a T460s that is lighter and slimmer than the standard T460. No swappable batteries though. The RAM options and screen options are slightly weird - the HDPI Screen is only available for the students edition, but can be swapped after purchase and parts of the RAM are soldered, so the machine maxes out at 20GB. Still, it's a nice workhorse and easily portable.
While your technological reasoning is valid, it explains a factor of price difference but not a change of the difference which is the original question.

The "3D" process explains an additional factor coming into play at recent times. I bet there are a range of technologies which were developed for flash and used for flash manufacturing but not for DRAM manufacturing. This explains a growing disparity between the size/price ratio.

Let's not stop there. If those technologies are useful for flash, why are they not used for DRAM?

I see not hard reason why the 3D process cannot be made useable for DRAM.

The answer, I guess, is that the market forces lead to different priorities where the size/price ratio for DRAM is not so important and more development is done in other areas like speed, reliability, power consumption. So the real reason is not technological but market driven.
