It's funny. I often have the same reaction as you. Yet last summer I went to the dentist to have an old filling replaced with a crown. They took a 3D scan of my teeth and used that scan to mill a crown on site in about an hour. It fit perfectly and I could scarcely distinguish it from the rest of my real teeth.

20 years ago, all of this would sound like science fiction to me.
+1 - I am also very interested why they chose to switch out from CloudFlare for both their DNS and their CDN and over to Fastly. Nick Craver did a write up where they specifically mentioned [1] Cloudflare for both their DNS and CDN.

Do you think after the Dyn outage everyones sysadmins are running round adding redundancy, too worried to trust the uptime of their site in the hands of just CloudFlare?

I bought an Asus 1215B netbook that came with GNU/Linux pre-installed (Ubuntu), sold via Amazon a couple of years ago.

Guess what, the Ubuntu devs decided they should replace the Broadcom closed source WiFi drivers by the half-working open source ones, so during six months I didn't had a working wireless connection.

Asus could not support us, and Ubuntu forums were full of hacking the old drivers into the updated ones, or have patience and wait for the new working ones.

I had to disable sleep and hibernation, because it would only wake up again by forcing a full reboot, taking the battery out.

Still have it with GNU/Linux, just to have a machine around with it running directly on hardware, instead of a VM.
Novel network share brings back memories :)
I had a machine hosting it, with dead BIOS battery. Every time it restarts, date/time had to be adjusted. Luckily, as I had already been fiddling with Turbo Pascal at the time, I made a tool to prompt the user to enter the date/time and have put it in autoexec.bat to run before NetWare does. Worked :)

I used to hate it though, as I was dealing with it at the time when Windows Server was already becoming standard in the enterprise environment.
I am not aware of trading firms that start at $500k, but this is, broadly speaking, correct. The pay is similar to the high paying tech companies, but the mean is higher as the left tail is chopped off due to somewhat higher requirements for hiring.

Obviously a mom and pop flower shop will not hire a fulltime developer and pay them $500k. They just don't need to pay that much to meet their requirements.
I haven't been actively watching SipHash but I do subscribe to the linux-hardening list and have seen a little bit of the discussion - my understanding is there are a bunch of potential applications in the kernel in areas that already use other hash functions, such as TCP sequence numbers, which are security sensitive, where SipHash could be faster and/or more secure.

Hash functions aren't included in the kernel for exposure to userspace, they're included for internal kernel use.

edit: see e.g. this email from Linus: http://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2016/12/13/5
That is not quite true.

For example, every time I see these type of news and go to the German web site, those laptops are usually listed as "product not available" or "product no longer available".
But in a classic Minkowski diagram like this one (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Minkowski_lightcone_loren...), don't you define the horizontal line (or at least a single line) as simultaneous in a given frame, instead of the entire white region? In all frames, the blue region are past or future, but in our particular frame, we can say more than that, like when the event happened.

As far as I can remember, the star blowing up and the light reaching us are only simultaneous in the light's frame.
That's not the Apple experience. The Apple experience means - well, used to mean - an entire ecosystem of hardware, software, content, distribution, marketing, branding, business partnerships, and development.

Linux doesn't work with absolute consistency because FOSS people still don't understand that source code is a tiny part of the bigger user experience.

The big challenge in the PC business isn't the OS, it's the politics of community building around a platform - "community" meaning users, hardware suppliers, developers, investors, and channel partners.

Linux has a relatively tiny community which only really interests developers, which means that the big hardware companies don't feel any great commercial pressure to support it.

This might change if Team Linux had an evangelical organisation that could negotiate and do politics at the appropriate levels. But politics is a much harder problem than writing code, so that probably won't happen any time soon.

Edit: at the moment some of the distros have evolved to do some of that work, with varying levels of success. But if you want to play in the consumer space (which is a superset of the developer laptop market), you need to do a lot more than release distro installers and hope Dell or someone else will pick them for its hardware.

Yes, there are some online stores for GNU/Linux, but as I discovered with the one I bought (Asus + Ubuntu), it might happen that some things don't quite work.

You are completely missing the point. Many areas already have sufficient fluoride.

It depends on the natural amount of fluorine in the water, if there's sufficient, then it's fine.

It's only in the relatively few areas where there is a deficiency that it's a problem.

And of course it also depends on diet.

Offsetting your claim are studies which show that where people exclusively drink rain water, there is a higher incidence of tooth decay.

Hi Sam. Do you think it is better to build a full-proof product and then look at investment to fuel expansion (takes longer) or should one first get the money and use it to build a full-proof product (faster but riskier)?
I use IntelliJ for Java/AngularTS/ web development and Sublime for lite note taking/editing. IntelliJ is an excellent IDE and is far superior to Eclipse. Great refactoring, code completion everywhere, and very intuitive (I am often amused how it just reads my mind). If you are just starting out, spend some time experimenting and evaluating and cultivate a fine repertoire of tools over time.
> Nowadays even Steam is available for Linux, with more and more titles available. That should get you covered for a little while. If it doesn't, PlayOnLinux allows running Windows games on Wine. Most of the time, it works just fine.

I'm my experience can be totally true if you have an Nvidia Graphic card (I run almost every games on my desktop) but it can also be false if you have something else (my laptop have an Integrated Intel graphic and I can run nothing).

The author have a ThinkPad X1 Carbon, which have a newer version of Intel graphic and it looks like he achieves to run games, so maybe there is some progress on that front also.

When I said "She is overrated at an almost fraudulent level." I meant the she and other people from the board created an image of superiority around Meyer, that led to and justified a fantastic compensation plan. Then when you compare this fantasy image to her real accomplishments, the term "delusion" would not be wrong. And at a certain level of delusion, we can also name it fraud. Yes, I think this is fraud.

No, GNU/Linux needs less fragmentation.

It needs a full OS stack, from the kernel to the UI toolkit, that is guaranteed to be the same, across all distributions.

Where are the Mac OS X frameworks on GNU/Linux?

Nowhere, because each distribution might be using a total different way to play sounds, music, doing SIMD, process images, accessing databases, UI toolkit ....

I'll be the one leaving as soon as the alarm sounds. I've found this also sets an example and people follow.

My school caught fire when I was 12, due to an electrical fault in the basement, and an adjacent building caught fire when I was about 15. University buildings I was in caught fire twice, once late in the evening and once during an exam.

None of these were serious enough that we couldn't reenter the building within several hours, at least to retrieve belongings, but there'd have been no advantage to lingering inside.

It seems like your attitude is the reason why you were treated like that at work, looking at your other comments I can just feel sorry for you, now you seem to be really pumped agains "americans", but if you had problems with "americans" who were drinking coffee and giving you all the "hard work" you should have said it in their face instead of being a keyboard warrior hiding behind throwaway accounts now and insulting them behind their backs. Just read what you wrote "I will bet a million dollar that you don't have any other skills than being a keyboard warrior.", insulting a stranger who just gave you his opinion makes me believe you have some other issues and finding a perfect job will be really hard for you unless you deal with those...

I'm in what I can best describe as a single story "National gable + front wing" tract house from the 40s, and feel that the design is very pragmatic and boring. These types of houses are very common in the Bay Area suburbs, particularly in the East Bay. Those were built en masse during during the war and have a surprising degree of craftsmanship and material quality.

I muse about one day owning one of those ordinate Victorian houses, but at the same time dread all work and red tape that can come with them (Which goes against my idea of homeownership). A buddy of mine has one and says it would cost ~35k to replace the drafty windows because the city requires an approved type/style/installer (it's a historic home).

I can think of an experience. The kind of teleportation in which you (or your copy) is teleported too close in time and space and the original is not destroyed.

Also if the transport process takes 20 lightyears, when do you send the ACQ? Will your original walk around for 20 years and then have an automated kill switch?

Personally I love intellisense and autocomplete functions of modern IDEs, I guess we have it so easy these days. The biggest drag on my coding velocity is more often thinking through the logic of what I actually want to program, recalling more APIs and function calls from heart would only make me slightly quicker, but then I'm also a contemplative deep thinker which may have an affect.
I do get bummed because I try to not have bugs in my code and when a code review finds a bug that means I missed something. But it is inevitable you will have bugs in your code. You have to just keep cranking along, fixing all the bugs anyone can find and not let it stress you out.

I think the problem here is that Apple doesn't really have to have a huge product range because they are pretty much focused on the premium price range.

On the other hand, manufacturers like Asus, Lenovo and Dell have everything from the economy to premium range which makes the content organization a natural headache. And it looks like nobody has figured out a good way to fix everything up.
totally this. Medium is a community, not blog software.

The blogging software is a nice plus though. It looks better than 90% of what's out there. It's hosting your content too, so no dealing with CDNs. Lots of goodies.

Besides, there's a higher likelihood of Medium being alive longer than most blogs this writing would otherwise have gone onto.

I'm confused by the description of the formula.

> This formula—called the “efficiency gap”—cites two types of “wasted votes” in the redistricting process: “lost votes” cast in favor of a defeated candidate, and “surplus votes” cast in favor of a winning candidate that weren’t actually necessary for the candidate’s victory. The efficiency gap is, in Stephanopoulos’ words, “the difference between the parties’ respective wasted votes in an election, divided by the total number of votes cast.”

> When both Democrats and Republican waste roughly the same number of votes, the efficiency gap is near zero.

Say there's an election and the candidate from party A gets 51,000 votes and the candidate for party B gets 49,000 votes. So, party B had 49,000 wasted votes (their candidate didn't win), while party A had 1,999 wasted votes (they weren't necessary to win).

So, we calculate the efficiency gap as (49000-1999)/100000, or 47.001%. That's really high, but there's not necessarily any gerrymandering going on. Presumably when a state has a lot of races, each party will win some and lose some, so the efficiency gap won't be so heavily skewed. However, supposing you had ten districts that were completely homogeneous and one party won all ten by a narrow margin, the efficiency gap would be the same very high value of 47.001%. Is it fair to call that an example of gerrymandering? If we labelled it as a result of unconstitutional gerrymandering, is that kind of like saying the voters the wrong way? Can there be false positives where the efficiency gap is high without gerrymandering?

Or am I just misunderstanding the description of the formula?
It's protectionism to be sure, the enemy of progress.
