I managed to install the latest OS on mine. Basically you have 4 options:

1. Hack Sierra installer to bypass restrictions.
2. Use target disk mode on Mac Pro and another Mac that supports firewire 800 to install Sierra.
3. Clone internal disk to external. Do upgrade to Sierra on it, then clone back to internal.
4. Remove internal disk, plug into external USB case, install Sierra on it. Plug it back to Mac Pro.

In all 4 cases you must hack the /System/Library/CoreServices/PlatformSupport.plist to make it bootable on Mac Pro.

You need to do it for recovery partition as well, if you ever want to boot to recovery partition.
The only performance area that I can think of where Macbook Pros have trailed PC laptops in recent years is with discrete GPUs. CPU-wise, they've been pretty much the same.

Once you get into solid state disk I/O, PC laptops have some catching up to do.
60 people was just an estimate from statistics, and NOx emissions are not a new problem either.
Certainly with the rise of sham/for-profit universities, sales pitches promoting 'practicality' now launch red flags, and deservedly so. But if the role of 'higher education' is to be a practical one (as engineering programs have always been), it only makes sense for schools to ask industry what it needs and then serve those ends, first and foremost.

In general, while theory has great value, it's more as a stepping stone to higher study than as an end unto itself. Few computing pros submit proofs among their deliverables. And devising the theta bound on a function or resolving the terms of a CSP simply don't deliver much value when working outside PhD-level R&D labs and writing peer-reviewed papers.

I believe there's a great deal of value in applied non-PhD track academic programs like GT's online discount offerings, especially in serving professionals and employers. I also believe it's high time that universities clued in to the unmet need that most of us post-academics face toward helping us continuously re-educate ourselves as we progress through our careers. Few of us pros can return to campuses, even part-time. Distance learning meets a crying need. And when done right and priced-right (as I believe GT does), I have nothing but kudos to offer in return. I say, more power to GT's authors, curators, and administrators who made this possible. And to all who make this greatly empowering service possible: thanks, and keep up the good work.
Great to see that you are using diff2html (https://diff2html.xyz). I built it for Codacy trying to create a better diff experience when reviewing code. Also you can get PMD, Checkstyle as part of code reviews and pull requests @ Codacy.com and it is free for open source for ever.
Netflix's A/B testing has really screwed me in the past in terms of performance, so much so that I reached out to support to ask if there was a way to manually remove me from the testing group at that time. I'd log in, and the "new" interface throttled my 13 inch retina Macbook's CPU immediately to 100% (or more).

Last time it was so bad that I stopped using Netflix on my computer until the testing stopped.

That said, the "normal" Netflix player is great and I've always been impressed with its performance and responsiveness for such a large application handling video streaming.

It's not just automakers. I have seen things in heavy industry that not only push the envelope but could be called outright cheating.
Probably should learn it before that if you'd like to be a programmer.
> This is his innovation -- other libraries tend to offer only the primitives and rely on the user to chain them together in ways that make sense and never in the ways that don't.

It's a little bit more than that. When you look at something like OpenSSL, it gives you two classes of thing. One is very basic primitives (AES, SHA256) that are useless for mortals and begging for misuse, and the other is the monolithic ball of tar that is TLS with X.509 and export ciphers and the whole crooked mess.

Bernstein gave us something in the middle. Safe primitives that compose.

> I have never heard of anyone being turned down for a job because of their undergrad being from a no-name college.

Have you really never come across this? My anecdota are the exact opposite. In every hiring process that I've been familiar with (granted, that's only like...3), you'd have a non-trivial advantage at getting your foot in the door if you have a good name on your resume. By the time you get to interviews, nobody really cares, but the recruiters in pretty much every organization I've been exposed to use extremely blunt filters like that.
As someone in the NYC area and about to finish my Masters, I worry about this too. I don't really want to work for a bank or an insurance company. I guess there are jobs in the medical field though.

Yeah, I feel sad every time I have to watch those experts, trying to do basic stuff like navigating to a file or open a file during their presentations. Using their sophisticated IDEs with nice, "modern UI". It takes them several seconds and bunch of mouse clicks to perform basic operations.
I don't think I'm your target market sorry. That sounds worse than the timer buttons. I'd expect to get back to a timesheet that hadn't realised I left the editor open overnight[1] and it tries to bill for 12 hours work while I was asleep.

Good for the bank, not great for repeat business!

[1] This is an assumption on how it works because I couldn't find that on your site. Your docs links also goes to API documentation - is that intentional?

Edit: Found the FAQ in the footer (this should be way more prominent!) that explains how it works, unfortunately it wouldn't track the time I'm working on syadmin stuff and other non-code tasks which would mean I'd need to use my notepad method and this.. Too much extra work, I'm only tracking time in the first place because otherwise we don't get paid. Man I hate tracking time.
> I wonder if people beyond their 20's are going back to college in hopes of meeting a mate?

If you read the linked article, it's about taking on debt for kids/grandkids or repaying debt incurred when they were young. There's nothing in there about a change in the trend of older people going back to school.
Yep, welcome to every research based university in the world. Even B.S. degrees take a back seat. I think OMSCS is good because they seem to at least be trying to improve the non-research track experience.
A couple things:

1) Intel is very heavily invested in x86, and they're likely to be very reluctant to change.

2) The Mill folks have patents, which might be hard to work around.

3) If the Mill becomes successful, they're likely to either be bought out by one of Intel's behomoth competitors, like Samsung or Qualcomm, or perhaps even by Intel itself.

4) If Intel really likes their technology, they could license it from Mill Computing. It would be surprising for Mill to say no to a reasonable offer, considering that they don't have their own fabs and it's their business model is to license their designs to those that do.
>"There are entire websites on the Internet filled with pictures from violent accidents or disturbing results of medical procedures that many might find emotionally scarring."

The difference is in intent.

If I view a horrible car crash that was an accident, the images may be graphic and unsettling at first glance, but I can brush it off.

However, if I saw a video where bodies were mutilated to the same degree, but was caused by someone doing it for their own kicks, that's much more disturbing.

From your write-up, it seems like you had only one reason in advance to doubt the assumption of Normally-distributed returns, and that was the existence of short-sellers in the market. Is that fair to say?
> Moreover, you are not limited by any client restrictions

But you must still limit yourself to sanity and physics. Too often, designers don't have a clue what's actually going on behind the scenes, and embarrass themselves.

This example puts 16 TB3 ports on a computer, because "consumers want it to be very expandable" and "2 columns of 8 looks pretty". It also adds two graphics cards but buries the connectors into the floor rather than making them externally accessible.

Concept cars by designers may have faults such as zero visibility from the drivers seat, have aggressively high front bumpers and low hood lines that look designed to kill pedestrians, utterly lack necessary things like exhaust pipes, crumple zones and spare tires, or have absurd specifications ("500 miles from the 2 cubic foot battery pack!" "600 HP V12 under the rear seat!")

Your target (other marketing departments) may not care. But it's also very possible that they encounter these limits as a part of their daily work, and will care, judging you for your lack of domain knowledge. Definitely create some concept work for your portfolio. But don't stray too far from the realm of the possible.
To me, there is nothing inherently wrong about people advocating for issues and causes that affect men specifically.

However what I see online is a large, vocal portion of those who claim to be MRAs are more about aggressive and toxic misogyny than anything else. See Scott Adams and sibling comment for more info.

Because of this I don't associate the terms mens' rights with any productive discussion.

There are more nuanced takes on male issues I have seen, such as /r/menslib on reddit. As far as I know they also distance themselves from the term MRA.
Mind you, the Mill's split-stream instruction decoding means each decoder only has to deal with ~168 bytes and ~16 instructions, and there's a cache for both (I think?).
This is actually on the mark. Evolution doesn't care about individual outcomes, it concerns with survival of the genes, or species.

So even if those guys in the garage act irrationally as individuals, someone has to take those risks, otherwise the society as a whole would be out-competed.

And that's why some people have evolved (not me :-)) to take more risks, at the personal expense.
I had a driver cut me off the other day when I was driving my son. Just pulled out into the middle of traffic with zero visibility hoping there was no one else there... I was surprised by my immediately violent thoughts of what I would have done to that driver had my son been harmed.

Having kids absolutely rewires parts of your brain. So, that said, I agree with both you and enimodas. I think this is one of those occasions where it's important to distinguish between sympathy and empathy.

I'm with you. I spend all week staring at screens. An open hour or two with a dead tree every weekend (in a comfortable chair, with a cup of good coffee, by a window) does more than anything else to keep me sane.
I got that too. The essay definitely had an anti-religious undertone to me.
Does it remain a top-10 degree if thousands of people take the course every year? Genuine question. I work in education, and we struggle with this selectivity vs. access question ourselves.

No, you have to go to the campus to get one.
It could be the case that not caring about appearances is one of the best ways to optimize for appearance. Somewhat like men who don't care (or do not give the appearance of caring) what women think tend to get more women than men overly concerned with appearance, even though women judge men by appearance (including what non-physical traits they appear to possess).
Exactly. As a new entrant, it is impossible for us to immediately enter the mass markets dominated by the majors. Consequently we adopted a strategy of targeting an increasing set of niche markets that have been poorly server by the majors and their products, and then going after larger markets as we grow in resources.

This market strategy dictates the ability to produce many specialized products with small sales for each. That can't be done in the million-monkeys development approach used by the majors, which is why the majors neglect these markets. So we adopted a specification-based design strategy.

In turn, the design strategy dictates the development strategy: first the specification tools; then the assembler and simulator so we could try out various designs in small test cases and improve the architecture; then the tool chain so we could measure real quantities of code and confirm the ISA and macro-architecture. Then, and only then, write what manual RTL is left that the generators working from the specifications can't handle. The combined RTL must be verified, and it is much easier and cheaper to do that in an FPGA than with fab turns. As the message says, the FPGA is next.

Lastly, we will pick a particular market and specify the ideal product for it, run the spec through the process we have been so long building, and the fab gives us something in a flat pack.

Which won't work, of course. The first time, anyway :-)

The technology to meet and even exceed EPA regulations already exists: hybrid cars. At this point there should not be a single gas only new car on the market, all models and all trim levels should be hybrid as a starting point. If they did this, mass production would reduce the current extra hybrid cost to nothing. Instead they are lying on emissions tests and want to maximize profit off hybrids. EPA must punish such behavior.
I think the claim was that the education market is (sort of) a market, at least in the sense that demand is driven to some degree by price. The claim is that if the loan cost drops (and thus the effective price of attending drops), demand will rise and school can raise prices until the perceived cost of attending (and corresponding demand) are back where they were earlier.

The cheaper loans are a _cause_ in the market mechanism being described, not an effect, so for this assertion it doesn't matter how market-oriented they are.

It would definitely be nice, I agree.

Though with a decent API it wouldn't be hard to write the glue to do it - I've certainly converted from bind to my own representation, then from that to Route53.

It's just a shame we all have to keep reinventing the wheel.

Ask HN: Why managers make so much money?
Is there anything I could do to lower they salary?
There is only so much demand for housing, especially for higher priced housing. You can't create additional demand simply by improving the neighborhood, additional demand is only created when more people move into the area.

So if you increase the quality of all of the affordable housing, then it shouldn't make much impact on the prices of those houses. They're already paying what they can. Now if you create new job opportunities at the same time then the equation changes. If the high quality jobs greatly outgrow the housing then you end up in a situation like San Fransisco or lower Manhattan where rents skyrocket regardless of the condition of the housing.
You seem to be arguing for a legal system completely without human discretion as humans being able to make decisions is inherently unequal (for example sentencing is different based on time of day). I'm not sure a legal system with no human discretion is tenable, though.
No. That is the estimate of the number who died from the Volkswagon emissions.

That it's an estimate doesn't change the basic moral argument unless you're suggesting it's quite likely the estimate could be so off that the actual amount is 0. If it's even 1, and the outcome could reasonably have been predicted, the argument holds.

>"The mentally taxing nature of implementing private censorship is a reason to implement more private censorship?

I suspect you're misunderstanding on purpose.

The answer is not more private censorship, the answer is empowering law enforcement to intervene in the lives of those that have caused the issues in the first place.

If you're not prepared to go after those that are involved in the degrading behaviour, what do you propose? Stick your head in the sand and hope it all goes away?

This is the reasoning behind suggestions of not even telling others until after the first trimester, which is when most miscarriages happen. It doesn't make any of the other parts easier, but at least the unwinding doesn't have to happen.

Then I wrote a script that looks for a commit with a specific message to my personal repo, since I always end the day committing to my personal repo (I squash into master). The commit usually has the ticket number in it, so the script logs the time in our system. The next git pull will start the timer fresh.

What evidence do you have to make such a claim?

These diesel vehicles were not truly "affordable" to start with, they are a very costly upgrade (> $4000) over the base engines. A truck that starts at over $37,000 and an SUV start at over $40,000. While these are obviously vehicles the average middle-income person might be able to afford, it's a far cry from the $27,000 starting price of the RAM and these aren't leaving the lot without being almost $10k more than the average new car.

How about blaming the execs or the other people actually responsible. GM, BMW, MB, and Ford among others have been able sell diesel vehicles in the US without (afaik) cheating.
U.S. government networks have been exploited since they were interconnected with outside nodes; [1][2][3] this should not be linked with any U.S. president's tenure.

Very interesting read, and more so the comments here with all the various experiences.
I'm the author of Event Horizon for Go [1] which is currently being developed along side a project that uses it, in this case a CRM-like system where the audit log is a selling point. We still have a lot of unsolved areas but as some have noted it is a very rewarding developer experience. How it behaves in production is still to be seen, but reading here has given me a few good insights to prepare.

NOx emissions are not a new problem, and our ability to estimate its effects are pretty good. The exact number is an estimate, but the real number is very unlikely to be off by more than a factor of 2.

If you randomly shoot 30 people, what is the appropriate penalty? What if you were shooting blindfolded and couldn't see when or who you killed? What if you were being paid money to take shots?

That is an exact analogy to what Volkswagon did when it sold cars that exceeded regulatory limits.
