Well, sorry, but I worked with a whole lot of people who were designing, verifying, and building that processor, and they used "bringup" for the entire process. I was part of that process myself. Actual experience counts for more than argumentum ad wikipedia. Also, even if the word was wrong, that matters far less than the context in which it was used. Dictionary flames are the last refuge of someone with nought worthwhile to say.
Holy cow, I totally forgot about SGU. Used to listen all the time, but it just fell off my radar. I bet this last year has been insane.
You surely can't be arguing that they shouldn't be selling a cheaper version?

And at this rate it only takes a couple more iterations of competition until the thing is almost free.

Excellent, I say.
I too have noticed this effect with one medicine in particular. I've had several different generics/brands and all worked fine, except this one make. I don't know what it was, but it just didn't work. Quite a strange experience.

You're not wrong. The idea was not for the article to be a statistically correct report of the present day status. That's easy to get and Apple's marketshare is nowhere near bad.

This is a decades-long reflection on computer history as a whole, having Apple as protagonist and important player.

The title reflects where the early-adopters - the same people that brought Apple back from the dead in the late 90's - will go from here.
There wasn't quite the sharp division of disciplines, either. Thinking about it that way comes from the public school system (which the author ought to know, because if I'm not mistaken, he mentioned that in a previous essay). Mathematics (which didn't warrant a mention as a bet that paid off in a blurb about the guy that invented calculus), metaphysics, and the natural sciences were all areas of study, but they weren't different bets: they were interrelated components of our understanding of the universe.
So you're using IE or Edge? Netflix explicitly only supports 1080p or higher in Microsoft or Apple browsers, Chrome and Firefox get 720p at best.

If you want 5.1 audio, no browser is an option and the Windows store app the only solution.

I'm an engineer that does hiring as part of my duties. I don't ever look at the degree.

To signal your skills, I'd think about the industry you want to work in, and try and work on a project that is similar to work you'd like to do.

For example, if you're wanting to get into Data Science, find a data set, pick a question and answer it. Build visualisations, implement ML algorithms, etc. Put your code up online and write a blog post (or several) about the process.

A year spent doing that would be worth more in my eyes than a MS.
But why spend a dollar to save ten cents? If you paid off your loans quicker the savings in interest will far exceed the savings in tax deductions and depending on your rate of return in the market could even trump those gains.

> The exit code of the remote process is exactly what you should use; I'm not seeing what you think is heuristical about it.

Lucky you if your SSH client never failed to connect. How do you think it
reports a network failure?

> This isn't particular to exit codes per-se, any network message to a remote machine is going to be subject to the network or remote host possibly dying between sending it and receiving confirmation of whether or not it was received and had any effect.

You see, there are tools that allow you to easily tell between network
failure and remote command failure. RPC protocols are an example.

> If you're using SSH-the-process, it's going to mux things like network failures into that error code. You can either use a library (in a language a bit more robust than Bash) so that you know you're looking at the exit code of the remote process.

Now let's get practical: find me such a library.

>> And if it was planned downtime? "Tough luck"?

> [...] if I'm attempting to run some unknown and arbitrary command on a machine
that was planned to be down, then yes, I need to step back and realize that
as a human, and make sure that I'm doing the right thing.

We were talking about configuring servers. You basically tell me that I would
have to pay for "agentlessness" with tracking state of each and every machine
I would possibly want to reconfigure, and remembering to check if the machine
was booted to re-issue a reconfiguration command.

> (Again, it depends on the command; what would be the effects of re-running
it, and can you programmatically guarantee that re-running is a safe
operation?)

Sorry, I'm lost here: what re-running? The command didn't get the chance to
run in the first place. I don't know where did you get the idea that I propose
running the command again if it got through to the remote server and failed
there.
This is the exact explanation used in the anime Steins;Gate. Okabe (the main character) is capable of 'moving timelines' which is treated as jumping between different parallel worlds.

He leaves his friends behind in a world where WW3 breaks out over world powers fighting over research for a working time machine. In a way, he is leaving his friends to die in a post-apocalyptic WW3...but that doesn't matter because he's saving them in his 'current' timeline. The other worlds, from his perspective, "don't exist" anymore.

>In all actuality, "you" died and another "you" took your place. But to you and everyone around you, it seems like nothing has changed, so you carry on with your life.

In the show they call this power "Reading Steiner" when he "replaces himself" in a new timeline. Since he is capable of remembering what happened in the other timelines (nobody else does - as from their perspective these other timelines never existed).

Time travel is fun to think about. :P
There is a grand total of $2 billion per year, worldwide, to be made in Bitcoin mining. This number will probably only go down.

The Chinese economy is $11 trillion. I don't think Bitcoin mining really shows up on their radar.

Now, Bitcoin trading... that can make a dent. A single block of a few thousand Bitcoins can circulate a hundred times a year and move many billions of value out of a country. It's also far harder to detect than a mining facility.

You should be aware that even for asymmetric encryption, only a one-time document-specific key will be encrypted with the asymmetric algorithm. The document itself will always be encrypted using a symmetric cipher.

This is how the same document can be encrypted for multiple recipients efficiently, without duplication all the data. First the document is encrypted with a symmetric key, which is then encrypted with the public key of each recipient. This information will be prepended to the actual encrypted document.

For details see: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#section-2.1

Except that that's not why Apple avoided X11. Apple decided to build their own thing because they wanted to avoid also-ran cross-compatibility with other UNIX clones, and additionally they wanted fancy antialiased font rendering which X11 didn't support at the time.

Apple built Quartz while Xorg developed Xft. A couple years in and Quartz didn't have any compelling features over Xorg, just an alien API.

It's true that X11 is terrible but nearly all of its competitors have shown themselves to be worse. Wayland wasn't practical until recently (like 2014?) when GPU memory and latency has dropped to the point where actually running a full compositor is no longer expensive. And most people using Wayland will just host an Xorg inside for X11 backwards compatibility anyway...

A bit frustrating to see these outdated ideas and old ways of thinking continue to generate headlines. Total Factor Productivity (TFP) is a made-up best-guess legacy issue based on mathematical remainders/residuals/error terms from miscalculations of mis-measurements. Productivity and technology are real things and important, but they were appropriated incorrectly a long time ago and contemporary economics has moved on to try to be much more precise and careful in discussing such things.

A similar, somewhat controversial example of a "distraction when math tries to becomes words" can be seen in the news when it comes to discrimination. Studies of sociodemographic differences and income levels, after controlling for education and IQ and experience etc., find differences in pay between men and women and between different minorities. The unexplained remainders for differences in income got called discrimination. Discrimination is a real thing and a real problem and must be addressed. But the reasons for differences in pay is not entirely due to discrimination, it's clearly much more complicated than that, studies that show this complexity are only recently getting attention.

Lumping and labeling a problem as one big thing ("technology", "discrimination") that's easy to explain to a layperson but when it's really much more complex and the problem still largely misunderstood is a disservice to everyone.
The other anecdote concerning Sir Isaac Newton that seems most apt, and it was particularly well dramatized in Neil DeGrasse Tyson's updated Cosmos series, arose when the Royal Society delayed publishing his Principia due to the spectacular failure of their Encyclopedia of Fish the year before! I am not sure which amazes me more: that "natural philosophy" encompasses everything in the cosmos from optics to marine life. Or contemporaneous short-sightedness can imbue one subject with the most paramount economic and social import, whilst viewing the other as nothing more than a mere parlor trick. Only to have the perspective of history upend such dogma centuries later!
ARM would probably make more sense. I don't think the IP costs to license ARM cores are that high compared to all the other costs involved, there's widespread toolchain and distro support for it already including a whole bunch of optimized ARM assembler in libraries, etc.
I was in the aerospace department as an undergraduate, and my impression was that everything at GT takes a back seat to the PhD programs.
Do you know how much it costs to produce the device and meet all the likely regulations? I would have thought this is to only break even. It's more a marketing move to be the good side in the story and get more business from ethical followers.

Given the $600 of the original, I'd say $109 is cheap.
You're welcome! Hope you might find this useful, and glad to hear feedback.
I did both my BSCS and MSCS at Georgia Tech. While I have many complaints about the school, the quality of the classes is not one of them, for either the undergrad or grad programs.

That said, with a couple of notable exceptions, the graduate classes are there for PhD students as first and second year background material so they have some starting points for their research. This naturally leads to a format where the semester can effectively be described as a long reading list of papers and lectures to spur discussion on the content of the paper. I was planning on pursuing a PhD when I started into my MS, so this format worked quite well for me at the time. In the years subsequent to that, the grounding from those classes has given me starting points for deep dives into problems I encountered at work[0].

It's interesting that you brought up machine learning. Charles Isbell's Intro ML class was a significant exception to the pattern I described above. In addition to high quality, pre-prepared lectures peppered with entertaining anecdotes, the had high quality projects that worked with pratcial tooling. It was also probably the highlight of my graduate career[1].

[0]: In particular, the material covered in my graduate systems classes has been invaluable for not reinventing the wheel for the thousandth time. The material from the couple compilers classes I took on a whim has been a huge boon when talking about software correctness. I work on the hypervisor underneath GCE. Correctness is near and dear to my heart, but performance is right there with it :)

[1]: For undergrad that dubious honor has to go to Olin Shivers, not only because of his eclectic teaching style, but also because his class completely altered the way I think about problems in computer science. In particular, my mindset shifted to one of models of computation and decomposition of problems into subproblems for which the simplest model could apply. I have an example I'd like to write up, but it's a bit long for a footnote.

Student loan interest is an adjustment ("deduction") to gross income not a credit. 2016 - $2,500 for the year max deduction, so based on your tax rate you can compute how much your real "savings" are. I wouldn't necessarily think of this as a shield against higher taxes.. the amount is marginal based on the tax bracket your in.

I think books, actual physical copies, will see a resurgence as more people recognize how difficult it is for the human brain to handle the constant firehouse of information the digital age overwhelms us with.

Books are often times consumed at a leisurely pace, typically don't feel like a bombardment of spastic information, and offer a sense of accomplishment after completion. They let the mind explore, they make us think, they make us feel all sorts of emotions, but all at a far more reasonable pace.

I have the hardest time imagining that the constant stream of news and social updates modern technology provides is actually healthy for us, I simply can't imagine we've evolved fast enough to keep up.

The dual ethernet in the current Mac Pro are only 1 GigE and gets around 100MB/s (real world)[0]. I aggregate the two cards to get better speed. Even a 10 GigE couldn't max out the SSDs in these machines which are 2GB+/s r/w.

[0] by real world I mean on a properly configured network. Many companies don't have that though so you often see "gigabit" speeds in the 30-50MB/s range.

There are plenty of discoverers who incurred some level of risk and lost in a way that isn't covered up by history. Marie Curie's discovery killed her. Tesla's genius manifested not only in groundbreaking discovery, but also mental illness and isolation. And just ask Elisha Gray about the risks of discovery.

But, yes, history has a survivorship bias. But that's literally one of the oldest observations made. It's often said, "History is written by the victors." What PG is saying is just another version of that age-old observation.

Reminder, because the term "monoculture" has a powerful negative valence for those of us who remember Slashdot from the 1990s: Guttman isn't arguing that this is a dangerous development, but rather that it's sad that the rest of the cryptographic research community hasn't given Bernstein a run for his money.

I suspect the situation will look different 10 years from now: CAESAR will probably spit out a couple strong non-Bernstein AEADs, for instance. And remember, we're still not using a Bernstein hash (though BLAKE traces back to Salsa).
If you've ever been near a major automaker's test engineering lab, you quickly realize that ~all of them are doing shady things to hit their numbers.

This is a result of the cold hard engineering fact that our current level of technology is insufficient to hit the numbers without raising costs significantly. But once one automaker starts to fudge the numbers at a given price point, all the others must do the same thing or they fall behind. Being honest might add hundreds or thousands of dollars to the dealer cost of a family sedan, which is an absolute dealbreaker when your rivals are getting the same benefit by just lying.

There's a spectrum from shady-but-nearly-defensible to absolute lies, and different manufacturers fall on the spectrum at different points.

One that comes to mind is Mitsubishi [0], but there have been others. And as you suggest, there will be plenty more in the future.

I didn't 'make a bet' by going to college, it was the assumed thing in my family, it was culturally ingrained that I would go to college. This way of looking at life as a series of 'bets' that one makes is it's own particular kind of culture, one that Newton did not belong to.

Newton didn't investigate alchemy and theology because he was trying to diversify his fame investment portfolio. To see him this way is to do a disservice to him and to history.

There are a lot more reasons I switched to windows than a vpn that stopped working. I tried for over 4 years to incorporate osx into an engineering work flow. The nominally cross platform eclipse stack I was using never became fully compatible with osx. It was always a usb driver or something stopping the osx version from working. Even when it did work, I would check in a project and someone else would be like "omg this doesn't work, did you do this in osx?". I had a total of 1 project ever where the client wanted to mess with the code in osx and was glad I could do it in osx. Ended up using parallels for almost all compiler toolchains. My saleae scope software is buggy in osx, ties up a cpu at 100% while its open for some reason- had to use that in parallels too. What DID I use native osx for? Browsers? Mac vim? Linux commandline? It clearly has not been worth the time and money.
