Squeezing is independent of the laser power used, so that's not really relevant here. Squeezed light is injected at the output port, where the photodetectors are. It is injected in the opposite direction to the classical light leaving the interferometer, where it mixes with the light field in the interferometer and has the effect of reducing quantum shot noise of the classical light that leaves.

In any case, I think you've confused the circulating light power with the input laser power. The circulating light power will eventually reach something like 1MW (currently it's lower) thanks to optical cavities, but the input laser power is actually only 50W (currently), eventually 125W.

You're arguing that benchmarks of recent top of the line chips (which at most tend to have a few tens of percent difference) not showing large performance difference is evidence that games aren't CPU limited, whereas the same test shows drops in single-thread performance immediately cause large performance differences (see AMD chips).

If anything, this shows that games aren't strongly multi-threaded (which comes with severe development and debugging impact) or aren't made to scale beyond the highest end chips consumers are likely to have.

Lastly, consider that while the graphics effects and physics effects of a game can be scaled down, scaling down the AI in many instances would cause balancing issues.
Six technology trends that SMEs should watch out for in 2017
Nowadays almost all popular PDF readers can fill in PDF forms: Evince, Okular, and so on.

Heck, you can even create PDF forms entirely with Free Software, using LibreOffice / OpenOffice.

And don't forget PDF.JS of Firefox, which enables you to view and edit most PDF forms directly in your browser. However, it still has issues with some PDF documents, so I prefer Evince and Okular.

The still-common advice to install Adobe Acrobat Reader is outdated! And it has been outdated for years. In fact, some time ago the FSFE started a (still successful) campaign to convince public entities to no longer tell people to download Acrobat whenever they offer a PDF file. With public entities you can argue that they advertise Adobe without getting paid for that, that they ignore the fact that PDF is an Open Standard, and that they put the plethora of good PDF readers into disadvantage. Instead, most of these public entities now point to a community-driven overview of Free Software PDF readers:

https://pdfreaders.org/pdfreaders.en.html

But as mentioned before: As a Linux you don't need to worry about that, you almost certainly have already installed a good, free PDF viewer in the default installation.
Since they did have the choice to switch jobs, I think the most they should be able to claim is councelling fees.
No.

Citing one anecdote does not change the facts: China and HK have about the same homicide rate as Germany (namely less than 1 per 100,000 per year), that's about a quarter of the US rate.

As for healthcare, if I were to get seriously ill, I would frankly not want to be in mainland China or the US. Similarly for litigation, in fact.

Lamentably, while Chinese used to be rather friendly and curious towards foreigners, now one observes more incidents of parochial, jingoistic hostility.

All in all, though, I agree with GP's assessment: As long as you keep out of politics, you feel both safer and freer in China than in the US as a foreigner (which is not saying a lot).
I remember when the only available web browser was the "Mozilla suite", which was extremely slow and basically unusable.

In this period, Netscape 4.x still worked pretty well and was available on Linux. Opera was also available for Linux at that time. So, it's definitely not true that the Mozilla Suite (which was indeed horrible) was the only available browser.

You could not play MP3 files out of the box due to patent issues.

I remember mpg123, xmms, etc. being available in many distributions. It was primarily Red Hat who didn't distribute MP3 support out of the box. IIRC free decoders were exempt from the decoder licensing fees.

Most graphic cards only worked in VESA mode, so we had no 3D acceleration of any kind.

Around 2000 there were not that many 3D chipsets. 3DFX was still ruling the world and there was 3D support for Linux per Glide. Many 2D accelerators did have support (e.g. Tseng Labs ET series, Matrox chipsets, ATI chipsets, most S3 chipsets). I had a 3DFX Voodoo 3 and was playing accelerated OpenGL games on Linux. I remember tinkering with NetBSD and having to go back to software rendering, which was frustrating.

But the worst thing was the lack of fonts. Fonts were truly abysmal.

Erm, Microsoft's 'Core fonts for the Web' were distributed since 1996. There has been a Sourceforge project (msttcorefont) distributing the fonts since Microsoft took them offline. Many distributions had an installer or package to get these Microsoft fonts. Then you had all the usual Windows fonts.
It was not tongue in cheek. I do not know what cmd is. I assume it is a modifier key in an Apple keyboard, since it is not in a Windows keyboard, which I have (although I am on linux).

Sure, I guess he means search, but he could just say that.

Or should I start talking using references to my keyboard shortcuts? I mostly use emacs, very often with custom bindings, or tmux, so it will not make sense to a lot of people.

But hey, it's a free world.

Why not just have the commit hash?

Version numbers seem to exist purely so proprietary vendors can obfuscate their source code a bit.

If I have the commit hash I can go straight to the exact source code version.

Taken to its logical end goal, really I want three things: commit, upstream branch, and where to find the code.

With those 3 and a little bit of tooling I should be able to go from a version number to the commit log of the current compatible upstream (I guess I'm implying a branch == backwards compatibility but just getting the commit log of really what I want)

We don't need semantic versioning in open source - we need a common immutable web which lets us search on the things which matter.
While comparing statistics between countries is very problematic indeed, homicide statistics are considered among the best (a dead body is easier to define than unemployment or income or so).

CSS Evolution: From CSS, SASS, BEM, CSS Modules to Styled Components
You can acheive some composability (e.g. easily awaiting multiple events) by having first-class values for the coroutines/green-threads themselves. This is what greenlet/gevent does, and it's rather pleasant to use. Try doing something like gevent.joinall() on Go though.
https://nathanleclaire.com/blog/2014/02/15/how-to-wait-for-a...

Not fun.

The other problem is that even with gevent, what you get is a first-class _coroutine_, not a first class class _continuation_. You have to actually spawn new coroutines (creating new stacks and going through sometimes unnecessary scheduler hoops) to get a first-class coroutine out of a possibly blocking function.

Again, I'm not saying you can't do something like gevent.joinall(gevent.spawn(foo()), gevent.spawn(bar()), but:

1. Many languages don't support this (including Go and Lua, AFAIK).
2. It comes with its own tradeoffs again.

No, they're not. Facebook is a news aggregate. They are no more in the News business than I would be if I wrote a script to scrape news web sites for articles to read myself.

The confusion between actual news sources and information aggregates online has caused this "fake news" crisis in the first place.
Yeah, those are valid concerns.

It's just the HN bubble [1]. Apple's Mac sales actually increased in Q4 2016 compared to Q4 2015, amid further stagnation in the PC industry:

My understanding is that Apple Pay enables the payment, but Apple does not collect or retain any data such as to whom you paid how much. Here's what Apple's iOS Security Guide say:

People do not use 'most printers and scanners'. They want to use that one printer/scanner thing they recently bought, and has only printer drivers available for Linux on the manufacturer's page.

Actually, back in early days, Linux was probably worse than Windows 98. A few things changed the landscape. Compositing on Xorg (to make the desktop modern finally), Pulseaudio (before then, Audio always had issues), DBUS and the rest of project Utopia. Steam also made a huge difference.

I think Linux will be the better option after: SNAP/Wayland goes mainstream and JACK becomes easier (Low latency Audio on Linux is still a nightmare compared to Windows and OSX).

But there are still a few rough edges. That being said, I use it for everything at home now, except for my Suunto GPS tracker, and Serato.
I've often read that absolute zero (0 K) is impossible to obtain, but never really understood whether it's just for practical reasons or if there's actually a theoretical background.

As far as I understand, there's no reason why a particle having 0 kinetic energy can't exist. Also, achieving it seems theoretically possible when a particle has kinetic energy equal to one photon, then emits a photon. Obviously it's hard to experimentally produce such a situation, but not theoretically impossible.

So, would 0 K theoretically be possible or am I missing something?

It is about treating new versions with major API breakage as if they were completely new libraries, not as a "maybe, possibly drop-in replacement, iff we use just the right feature subset". E.g. RxJava changed their maven artifact ('io.reactivex:rxjava:1.y.z' -> 'io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:2.y.z') and the package name where in which their code lives ('rx' -> 'io.reactivex'). This makes it possible for both versions to be used at the same time while transitioning, without breaking dependencies that rely on the older version and without having to bother with automatic multi-versioning in buildtools.

With that in place it is questionable what the actual advantage of semver vs a simpler monotonous versioning schema (like build number or UTC date) is.

I think both approaches are fine, depending on context.

This will definitely work fine for software that's delivered to the users. I don't really care about Chrome's or Gmail's version, especially since the update process is transparent to me. The APIs should be versioned on their own and everything is fine.

On the other hand, I really appreciate when semver is used by libraries (jars, gems etc.). From developer's perspective it really helps with updating these dependencies in your own code - a quick look tells you whether it's just a simple bugfix/patch that probably doesn't affect you or something more serious that you should be careful with when bumping dependency version.
Because of that, I wouldn't call it an anti-pattern. I'd say it's rather one of possible approaches that will work fine in some cases and not so well in other.
You can also implement your own event loops with promises, but it's a matter of tradeoffs again:

You can't control the way functions written by someone else will schedule their internal continuations - you can only control the way you schedule your own continuation. I'm not sure if Javascript gives you a lot of control there, but C# allows you to define your own TaskScheduler and specify it on ContinueWith.
On Android 6.0+ you can deny the READ_PHONE_STATE permission and stop using apps that won't work if you do. A quick search seems to indicate that there is an Alibaba app for iOS. Do you think Apple negotiated that the IMEI isn't required for the iOS version?

Personally I don't trust Android (or the hardware companies that sell Android devices) or iOS but picked an Android 6+ device because in principle I'd rather have an operating system that's more open. AFAIK all the Apple privacy stories have been about US cases so as a non-US person I'm also not sure they'd apply the same standards to me.

Just should actually do community building from the first second on. The easiest way is to share your idea and getting feedback on it. We developed a product for this. It is called STOMT.
For example the game "Empires of the Undergrowth" (not on the market yet) intensively uses STOMT to collect feedback in form of short wishes (you can label them as a page owner). We also have integrations for a lot of platforms so people don't have to leave your product: https://www.stomt.com/empires-of-the-undergrowth

Also works well for ourselves: https://www.stomt.com/stomt

You can think of STOMT as consumer-friendly GitHub Issues.

Much like others in here, I gave my mother an ultimatum. I was so sick of maintaining Windows that I gave her the option of running Linux, or she could have Windows but I wouldn't support it (ergo, she'd have to pay a technician).

After her old Acer Aspire One fell apart, I bought her a cheap Compaq 15" laptop on Amazon for Xmas in 2014 and installed Mint on it. Since, as is common these days, she uses a web browser more than anything, it was easy to teach her how to connect it to wifi and launch Firefox. Since then, I've heard zero complaints or requests for help. Linux JustWorks. I think she's come to like the Cinnamon GUI as much as I do, too.

I also tried to get my sister to switch - she is a lot fussier, I got a huge amount of resistance switching her to Win7 after XP went EOL since she prefers the GUI. The difference here is that she uses a tablet PC (not a Surface, the original spinning-screen + pen-based digitizer laptop style machine) which she uses for drawing and artwork. To give her credit, she relented and gave Mint a go for a week, with an XP skin on it (which was pretty accurate, all things considered). Unfortunately she couldn't get used to GIMP and there were lots of hardware issues, in addition to old Windows games that wouldn't run under Wine, so reluctantly I put her back on Windows. Still, she at least tried it.

These days, Mint is my go-to. The Win7-inspired GUI is pretty easy to get Windows-only people to learn, and it's up to date and reliable. As their Windows PCs slow down and the OS degrades (I stil swear Windows has a built-in timer for this purpose), I find that my family members are so keen to have working PCs that they don't particularly care what OS it runs, so long as they can find the web browser. I nearly Mint-ified my uncle's old well-abused Acer laptop, until we discovered that nuking the Acer crapware made it usable again.

Linux on laptops has come a long way, much further I think than any other OS.

Thanks! Some of those are somewhat embarrassing, especially for something that's meant to be software used in secure environments. Why does a client need to specify an interpreter to run on the master host? Or changing the template brackets to escape quoting?
