> but the problem with off-the-shelf GPUs is that you need to route the DisplayPort connectors back to the motherboard in order to mux them with the Thunderbolt ports

If the Intel CPU supports integrated graphics (which I realize a Xeon may not) there is actually support for sending display streams over PCIe, so it wouldn't be necessary to route DisplayPort cables from the card output to the motherboard.

The eGPU guys are doing this to display the output of an external GPU on the internal LCD of the laptop. [0] It does slightly reduce the PCIe bandwidth available as you need to transfer the rendered data back via the PCIe, which is then output from the IGP to the display. [1]

However this is still limiting because it means you're stuck with the display outputs supported by the IGP, so if you want to upgrade the video card to support a newer standard (e.g. HDMI 2.0) you'd be stuck.

When shills like Ajit Pai are in power at the FCC, yes.
That is, ironically, a problem
largely created by public interest minded people. Most places in the U.S., it is illegal for an ISP startup to be like Apple: targeting the lucrative high end of the market and working down. You have to build out to every neighborhood, even in nehgborhoods where the cost of build out will be more than what you can hope to make from subscribers there.

That means even behemoths find it difficult to enter each others' markets. Baltimore, for example, wants fiber. Verizon was ready to build fiber. It would have been easy--Baltimore's suburbs are already wired. But the city wouldn't give Verizon a television license (fundamental to the economics of broadband) without universal build out. But it just didn't make sense to do that in a city where a third of the population is below the poverty line.

In fact, nobody has been willing to build fiber in Baltimore on those terms, despite the city railing against Comcast and trying to get a competitor.

Honestly, a modern chat app should have both. There should be a web client, and a native client.

Riot and Wire both seem to have that. Riot uses a WebApp-as-Native kind of thing, while Wire actually seems to have a native app.

Facebook's Journalism Project Is Tackling Fake News
The point I am trying to make is that you are trying to solve the wrong problem, just because it happens to be a fun problem.

To address your last statement from another angle: this is not the first FOSS cpu, it only happen to be hipp right now. Significant work has gone into the other alternatives which now risk to be forgotten just because they are not SV darlings.
To be honest, I listen to what the new shiny is from places like Reddit and HN and take a look into it. If it seems interesting and has features or does things well that my go to language (C#) doesn't have then I dive deeper. For instance, I heard about Elixir from HN and Reddit and thought it was interesting. I started looking into it and now I'm learning it and writing a few projects and love it.
Yeah, basically, I do appreciate the media server thing for other uses though.

I've had quite good luck with it on my Smart TV until Plex started shitting the bed.

> Furthermore, it lacks the ability to expose server-specific services, such as transcoding and additional subtitles in case of Plex.

No it doesn't, UMS and others allow you to enable these things. In fact it has transcoding profiles for different devices just like Plex does and you can select the subs you want on your TV, mine lets me at least. Just really glad I didn't pay for Plex as I was considering it prior to this incident.

I'm using feature X. Feature X was introduced in version X.Y. Therefore I can't use any version less than X.Y.

No. When you fix a bug you increment the patch version, unless the fix changes the API in which case you wouldn't want it automatically updated anyway.

I agree with you 100%. All these Mac users leaving for Linux will eventually realize how much work is involved in keeping a Linux system running. I was the opposite, I left OS X after nearly a decade (used Linux prior) and I hate Linux more now than I did before I switched to the Mac. Way too much work, errors everywhere for no apparent reason.

> You could argue that Obama not releasing his Birth Certificate until 2011 only fueled the fringe

If you ignore the fact that his official birth certificate was released in 2008; what was released in 2011 was the internal record stored at the Department of Health which Obama could not himself release.becaise he did not have access to, as the Department did not, by policy, release.such records to anyone, with or without the consent of the subject, and the continuing controversy was itself the basis for the exception which Obama asked the department to make to release it.

PhD theses are supposed to push the boundary of knowledge. I'd posit that if it doesn't it shouldn't be accepted and the student be sent back to his or her research.

That being said, sometimes pushing the boundary of knowledge is exploring new processes to do the same old thing. We shouldn't downplay that; those are genuine contributions.
Not saying it is fair (maybe it is, maybe not), but the name "Georgia Tech" carries more weight on a resume.

Curious use of the word "could", as it seems to imply such abuses have not already occurred and been exposed without legal recourse.
I was suggesting that no application should be allowed to remove "while using" ever, regardless of what they initially offered.

that is the current permutations which an application can provide are:

* no, using, always

* no, using

* no, always

I do not think the latter should be allowed.
If they run it on an FPGA the game will be over. The first questions to ask are how it compares in terms of performance and gate count to other architectures running some benchmarks. In particular they need to compare it to RISC V which is deliberately not patent encumbered and seems to be killing it in performance per area and per watt.

I can't say for certain that they'll fail. Maybe they'd be twice as good, but anything short of that and I just don't see viability.
This kind of design is WAY more likely to come from a PC vendor than Apple. The 16 TB ports was definitely kind of a LOL moment.

I dig it. They are useful, but that can't be done with "standard components".

The whole idea of a flexible and upgradeable PC is kind of against the Apple "tightly coupled" software and hardware story. The reason that their user experience has historically (I haven't used a mac in about a decade) been so good was because they limit the available hardware for their testing purposes. They don't have a lot of choice in hardware, but what they do support works every time.

I don't know...I got off the Apple train a long time ago. I loved my Mac Pro, but it just wasn't for me.
Yeah, that was even terrible-er. Fedora mostly fixed things by release 11 or so (not that this wasn't still about, what, 1.5 years?).
Depends where you go. I did my MS by research, no coursework at all. The research wasn't particularly novel, more a working implementation of literature in a slightly different context, but if it was more than that it would have been a PhD, right?

I still find it odd that some people do coursework during their PhD. Seriously, put on your big girl panties and teach yourself. That's what your degree is all about, discovering things without someone holding your hand.

The second sentence explicitly contradicts the first one. By your second one you are saying that politics is based on the facts that science provides. Or rather, should be.
You understand how frustrating it is for open source advocates to hear that normal users will never look at source code and so there's no practical difference for them between closed source and open source since it's all opaque to them anyways?

That's how literally every security person feels about the argument that closed-source software is unknowable.

We don't need decompilers or special tools to read closed-source applications. Almost all of them --- very much including the Signal-based messengers --- are built with tools that produce straightforward easy to follow assembly code.

> 50% of the site was black background + scrolling for me, but I think I can get the gist of it. Nice design + expansion capabilities, right?

Apple's Industrial Design group needs to get it through their skulls that folks doing REAL pro work still need traditional expansion capabilities. At the very least, pro users need to:

1) Have the ability to expand RAM

2) Have space for two video cards (ThunderBolt 3 + video card enclosures is not a desirable solution)

3) Have space for at least a couple internal hard drives

For some reason, I don't think this will ever happen because the end result would probably be bigger, noisier, and uglier than what the ID group would allow. But, man.. wouldn't it be nice to be able to purchase a base config Mac Pro 2 with one stick of RAM, shipped with integrated graphics and the user could drop in any graphics card(s) they wish?

Hackintoshes can work fine for some, but oftentimes we just want to be able to run software update without the fear that a patch will break our bread-and-butter making machines.

> You can have two argument which are both true but politically only one of them can win.

No you can't. This is why we are living in "post-truth". Meaning it's not truth anymore.

You are right in that either one can win, but only one can be true.
Your point is? Emacs/Vim/Sublime are faster, more extensible and native compared to VS Code. RStudio I didn't use, nor I programmed in R, and I didn't know it was Electron app anyway.
Cheap for us. But maybe not for other people living there.
Chrome is semi-stagnant because it's dominant, which means not much drive to change.

I wouldn't call Firefox stagnant. It's just got E10S (multiprocess). The Quantum project promises to gradually improve both speed and stability (and consequentially security). They are working on replacing the traditional Firefox extensions archetecture with WebExtensions. Fennec (Firefox on Android) is an underappreciated gem.

I'm playing with Vivaldi now. It's nice, it's fast, there's a fair amount of UI innovation. But underneath, it's just Blink, so it's hard for me to get that excited about it.
I don't think it would ever ship if it wasn't patented. It makes it considerably easier to obtain funding.
Exploring Modular Synths Episode 0 – Beginner's Mind
It comes with the Georgia Tech brand name associated with it. College degrees are 20% content, 80% reputation and branding. For instance, if you want to earn $100k/yr, the way to do so with the least amount of effort is to attend a school with a great reputation. Reputation in academia has much more to do with faculty prestige and research, not actual academic rigor for students, but most companies find it far easier to trust the brand than build effective interview and recruiting processes. Ergo, brands matter.
Not sure this would be meaningful to a five year old.
Looks nice but I don't think that's practical (or realistic).

But that basis of that fascination was also part of the reason for the rise of neoclassisism.

Greece and the Roman Republic and Empire came to be seen as purer, grander and more refined past, which drove a lot of effort into re-discovering information about them, which led to an increased interest in archeology, and eventually to things like neoclassism.

Dictators and radicals alike looked for lessons, and found them in different places for centuries. E.g. the former have often had an extreme fascination with the idea of continuity with the Roman Empire (see one of Napoleons later extreme examples of trying to be Roman[1]); the latter with the nascent democracy of the Greek city states and the Roman Republic.

You find it everywhere, not just in philosophy, architecture and art: English itself was subjected to a sustained "assault" of writers trying to bring more Latin and Greek words into common use.

A bit cheek-in-mouth: Everyone wanted to create the new Rome, ever since the fall of Rome (e.g. consider the Holy Roman Empire and the idea of "translatio imperii" which was used to justify a tenuous connection to the perceived glory of ROme [2]). They just disagreed (strongly) about what was great about Rome.

> Thanks for your reply. I totally understand, and of course, at the end of the day I was trying to just leech on the free tier. It was just the communication around it that sucked, as well as the suddenness.

Well, you did get a year subscription for free. That part of communication didn't suck. I'd agree it felt a bit like bait 'n switch, but their developers also gotta eat.

I'm just using Nylas N1 as home user, and I don't want any more subscriptions. I'm oversubscribed as it is. If I were commercial of business that'd be different.

How to make it clear what this data represents is a semantic conundrum. If I take a "virtual" tour of New York City, I expect to see an actual geographically-accurate approximation of New York City, not buildings randomly generated based on the probabilities of buildings having various dimensions of those found in New York City strewn across a google map.

What do we call such a thing? After reading the author's paper, I think "synthetic" is most appropriate because we would be synthesizing a city like NYC, but not a virtual representation of NYC. In fact, I find the word "virtual" in this context somewhat misleading.
I can sympathize with the reasoning behind the rebranding. "A new language on the JVM (which happens to be Haskell)" has a slightly different spin than "Haskell on the JVM". The latter sounds like it is targeted at Haskellers looking for new runtime choices, whereas the former is quite suggestive of moving Haskell a considerable step closer to the comfort zone of a certain group of non-Haskellers.

Unfortunately, the "(that happens to be Haskell)" part is completely left out on the entry page. This gives a terrible first impression, because it seems like if someone would be trying to bootleg those 26 years that went into Haskell and sell them of as their own achievement. The documentation does a reasonable effort to set this straight, but the aftertaste from the first impression remains.
So there's no practical difference for you in understanding algorithms between assembly and higher-level source code?
The other FOSS CPUs are irrelevant, precisely because they aren't "darlings" and thus have no momentum.

Agreed. But if GT keeps offering more and more Master degrees this way, I can see them cheapening their reputation. It's a quick way for universities to make money, but at a cost of reputation.
People know how to think critically in a particular context. What I find is that when they're in an unfamiliar context their level of critical thinking is lower. Also tiredness, stress and so on contribute to less critical thinking. Also most people have certain irrational trigger topics, things that are so emotive to them or so wrapped up in their sense of identity that they can't break them down critically. (All of this also applies to myself of course.)

Newton is, I guess, an example of someone very critical in one context and less critical in another (scientific historians rush to correct me).

Still, though, I don't think we can all do enough work on training young people to at least have the tools to think critically. Studying medieval history at 17 changed my entire way of thinking about credibility. I think I'd be a much less critical thinker if I had not had that experience.
I think the point is that facts (whether on TV or not) didn't use to matter more than they do today.

Isn't "to know a lot of things" just being wise? Being intelligent, to me, is more about being able to process information, arrive at conclusions - or, in simple words: to think well.

You could be wise without being intelligent (someone who learned a lot by rote learning, but doesn't understand much of it), or vice versa, although the latter is somewhat questionable - an intelligent person will likely use the intelligence to know more and more things. :)

Edit: heck, even D&D had separate wisdom and intelligence stats. :)

It's up over here.

But it's just a concept, and not a great one at that. They want dual PCIe-x16 graphics cards, which requires 32 lanes, and also SIXTEEN Thunderbolt 3 ports? For full speed, those require 4 lanes each.

Not to mention multiple other PCIe lanes allocated to USB3, SATAIII, M.2, TB2, network, and so on? By my count, the specs are pushing 100 lanes of PCIe. Even a big Extreme edition processor only has 40 lanes of PCIe, and a PLX PEX multiplexing chip only goes so far. This is basically calling for dual-socket 135W $4,000 each Xeon Broadwell E5's PLUS a PCIe mux. And thermally, even doubling the current Mac Pro, you're not going to fit 500W of graphics and 300W of processors in a 30-liter case.

It's a pretty graphic, and I like the concept of lots of ports and expandability, but it's not based on anything realistic.
In practice we often don't even need to read the assembly code; we can match control-flow graphs. There really are some software security verification problems that are easier from the binary, particularly if the build system is complex.

But that's sort of besides the point. Reading assembly is more tedious than reading C code, which is in turn more tedious than reading Python code. But you don't get to move the goalposts now. You claimed, repeatedly, that closed-source software was unknowable. It is not; it is in fact very far from unknowable. So the idea that Facebook is going to sneak backdoors into some of its most prominent code under cover of "closed source" is an extraordinary claim, requiring extraordinary evidence.
