yes, "They simply handle events and remove/add/update the specific DOM nodes that are appropriate." is intended as a clarification as to why DOM updates in this style are FAST. I am not intending with that statement for it to serve any purposes about code clarity or structure. (Which i think is clear in the context of what I wrote in the same paragraph, and what I am responding to.)

I am specifically responding to this:

The "shadow DOM" at the root of React is quite central to its appeal, as it speeds up DOM changes by several orders of magnitude."

Of course you can take isolated sentences from me and purport alternate motivations (code clarity) to them so that you can make a new argument against that alternate motivation, but that is a different conversation.
"twinked device like the iPhone SE"

Yes, such a bad purchase, a far faster phone with a better camera, better wifi and cellular connectivity, a better camera, and perhaps most importantly, far, far better security.

If all this does is help encourage people to get onto Secure Enclave-equipped iOS devices, it's a winner.

Brace yourself, marketing is a marathon
This costs about $15k - $19k. With all the great lecture and homework content out on the Internet about AI, ML, deep learning, vision and natural language, I wonder if one can put together a more comprehensive and customized version of this that one can learn for free.
I think part of the problem, as it has already been touched on here is true Ops people are of a different breed to standard developers. They usually have similar coding ability (but different areas of expertise, automation and systems coding over business logic) but drastically different personalities.

This is an issue during hiring when companies have minimal Ops background. They (usually) attempt to interview the candidate as they would a normal dev position. This has 2 serious problems. 1) Real Ops candidates are going to seem lacklustre compared to web devs when giving web dev coding tasks and inteview questions. 2) You probably aren't going to ask them anything actually relevant to their ability to do Ops well because you just don't know.

This can usually be solved by hiring an experienced SRE manager. However those people are expensive and hard to find.

The next best thing is to have a gun SRE in your personal network that you can convince to join your team and help you build it out.

If you can't achieve that for whatever reason then you really just have to hire based on experience and suck up the cost of hiring an ex-Google/Facebook/Netflix/Twitter SRE that you can be reasonably confident will be good.

That is still hard though because those sorts of people know there is a ton of shit shoveling to be done if you are the first real SRE on board.. you have to clean up the mess left in the wake of "devs doing ops" which is not Devops btw. Devops is what is done by SREs. "devs doing ops" is how this sort of thing happens.

"a certificate doesn't even come close to a degree in the job market"

So? Do they say that it does? I'm already a software engineer and can tell you that having an AI certificate from an accredited University is a great stepping stone to transitioning into this line of work even if it does not make me an expert.
However, ARMv8 also increased the power of the SIMD portion of the chip, going from a 64 bit wide set of registers to one that's 128 bits wide. So SIMD-heavy code will see a decent speedup because you can process more data per clock.

This comment would have been better without the last 'gtfo' appended.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's inversely proportional to skill.

That is, skilled developers will want a better product/process and they will want to work with other skilled devs. Putting them in less-than-ideal situations causes frustration.

OTOH, a poorly skilled dev will want to push the environment in the other direction, for no other reason than to obfuscate the lack of skill. Putting them in an ideal situation for the skilled dev causes fear. Their aim is job security.
You're right that it would be possible with something akin to a health department visit, but need rarely has anything to do with armed raids.

> This is wrong go walk on a sidewalk near a smoker and you'll see them blowing clouds which go in peoples faces as they walk by and leaving clouds in the faces of people walking behind them. This isn't an issue of being in the vicinity of the smoke it is having to walk through the cloud of it.

The only difference is the visibility, just because you can't see car exhaust doesn't mean it's not there.

> Go outside an office building around 9, 10:30 or lunch time and you'll often have to walk through a large cloud as all the smokers hang out to get in their smokes.

Yes, because it's about the only area left to go for a smoke. It's an effect of banning it everywhere else, not smokers being inconsiderate. If there was a nice out of the way area where smoking was allowed then people would go there.
Yep, it really is that simple. It reduces an entire category of issues. This is also why some people entirely disable multilib in their Gentoo systems.
Yeah, I understand that the trampoline analogy is inadequate but I believe that we don't consider empty regions of space to have any type of "opposite" curvature or to exhibit negative gravity. I believe curvature is thought to be [0, black hole], not [-black hole, black hole].

Happy to be corrected on that, IANAP.

The disparity between what GR predicts and what we observe has led to the cosmological constant / dark energy / dark matter. Of course, those aren't really things in themselves, they're just a measure of that disparity, a fudge factor.

I'm suggesting that the disparity could be explained by spacetime "responding" to regions of curvature by mass with an opposite curvature.

Unfortunately I'm not qualified to do anything with that idea. I just wanted to throw it out there. It's something that's been bothering me for a long time.
The iPhone 5 was likely to be dropped with iOS 11 anyway, regardless of 64-bit support. It'll be 5 years old at that time. It will still be able to run apps that were compiled with 32 and 64 bit support. It's not necessarily going to be any different to when any previous iPhone stopped getting software updates. I don't see any restriction here on Apple allowing devs to still support 32 bit, they just have to support 64. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You assume everyone purchased the iphone 5 in 2012. The iphone 5c was still selling new in India less than a year ago.

Also new ones still listed for sale direct from Walmart it appears:

If you purchased a new device and in less than a year support is dropped, yeah you might be livid.

Another externality is that a lot of non-smokers dislike breathing in second-hand smoke, apart from whatever negative health impacts it may have–yet inevitably they end up doing so due to smoking in public places, smoking neighbours, etc.

It is hard to measure the value of this externality. But in the abstract it must have some value: suppose there was a magic spell which made all secondhand smoke go away, and using it had no negative side effects – how much would the average non-smoker be willing to pay for this spell? Personally I'd be willing to pay at least $1/day, and let us assume the average adult non-smoker puts the same value on it as I do. Then, by rough estimation, I'd say there are about 16 million adult non-smokers in Australia, which implies the cost of this externality in Australia is around $5.8 billion a year. That dwarfs in comparison to the health costs, but it isn't nothing either.

Stanford Lecture – Don Knuth: The Analysis of Algorithms
I am on the other side of the equation. Graduating this summer with Masters in Artificial Intelligence, I always wanted to immigrate to USA and work on solving interesting problems. But NO WAY I am doing this now. With all the recent things going, you never know when your life will be flipped upside down. And I can't risk investing so much efforts/time into such process (especially that I am muslim). I think there's a lot of other people like me. Even with the companies problem, I think, more people than ever now don't want to go to the US. Germany seems like a way much better choice now.
Rigor is there.

I'm now working in the ML/AI research division of big-4, all I needed (and all hiring teams needed to see on my resume) were a couple of these classes (with good internal performance ratings).

Having said that, my employer paid for these classes. No way I would pay this price out of pocket. There are probably much cheaper ways to get the same knowledge.
I'm so sick of the "moving to Canada" talk. You get to come if we say so, not because it's your backup plan.

I like living where I am now, and I don't want to leave to go back to Canada and earn drastically less with the same (optimistically) expenses. While working on less interesting stuff.
>The only difference is the visibility, just because you can't see car exhaust doesn't mean it's not there.

The only difference is proximity as I already mentioned.

>If there was a nice out of the way area where smoking was allowed then people would go there.

There are lots of out of the way areas in most cities for people to go smoke. But still you'll find them huddled outside the entrances to buildings or as close as they are allowed to be.

As I said. Smokers are selfish and will try to justify every negative impact of their addiction on others. They aren't being inconsiderate about smoke you're forcing their hand. They don't want to litter but it's your fault for not providing ash trays, etc, etc.

I smoked for 20 years and I've heard countless reasons from smokers for being inconsiderate but they all basically boil down to selfishness.
I absolutely love that they're trying to reach a broader public engagement of their historical academic work through innovative events such as the pub nights. I mean it's pretty easy for this when your research is into brewing habits of early modern people but it marks a significant depature from the lofty circles of academia and helps to really engage Joe Public with historical research and academic discovery in an easily accessable way.

I think that's an absolutely fantastic goal to shoot for. Scientific (and in a broader sense, academic in general) outreach is really important and beneficial for society as a whole, so I'm only too happy to read about how some people are trying to do that!
They require a previous undergraduate degree, which is a no go for me. I'm already a high level software engineer at a top tier company. I have no desire to go back and take an undergraduate degree. But I do like collecting certificates... Currently taking Udacity's self-driving nano-degree, pretty fun for someone with no robotics background.

Technically it doesn't.

In practice only two architectures matter: x86 and ARM. Both brought cleaned-up ISAs, expanded the number of general-purpose registers, made some features required, and made other improvements during the transition.

So for all practical purposes: YES, the 64-bit transition has actual real benefits to end users besides the larger address space.
People with broad smiles are only seen as less competent, but it doesn't change their actual competence. Reading the Daily Mail however...

Did the US-China alliance win the Cold War? To what extent did it contribute to the fall of the Soviet Union? I think most of the reasons why the Soviet Empire fell were internal factors rather than external pressures, and the US-China alliance made at best a marginal difference to the outcome.

Indeed, what did the US and its allies actually get out of their anti-Soviet alliance with PRC? Nixon hoped that it would help the US in Vietnam; but obviously it didn't – South Vietnam lost the war and they probably would have lost it just the same even if Nixon's China trip never happened. More broadly, I honestly can't see any military benefits for the US and its allies from the deal. The various potential military hotspots – Vietnam, the Korean peninsula, the South China Sea – would probably be in much the same state if the US-China deal never happened. Obviously some sort of understanding with PRC had to be reached eventually, since pretending ROC was the government of the whole of China wasn't tenable in the long run, but the US could have extracted some major concessions from PRC in exchange for recognition instead of basically conceding to PRC all its major objectives – an alliance against the Soviets was not a huge concession from PRC given that PRC and USSR were already mutually hostile since the Sino-Soviet split of the early 1960s.

Many people say that Nixon's decision was a great strategic move, but I am unconvinced – the US got some short-term assistance against the Soviets which it didn't really need and didn't make much difference anyway; in exchange, the US put itself in a weaker strategic position vis-à-vis China for many decades to come.

And of course, China's economic development since the 1980s has provided many economic benefits to the US and its allies. But, that still could have happened even if there was a more assertive US policy towards PRC, such as a "two Chinas policy" of recognising both PRC and ROC and maintaining diplomatic relations with both. Under this model, it would not be essential that PRC itself abandon the "one China" position, merely that it be willing to accept trade and diplomatic relations with countries that adopted the "two Chinas" position instead. If the US had made that the price for US-PRC trade from the outset, I think Beijing probably would have come around to paying it. In the 1970s, the US was a vastly richer country than PRC (the gap is still there but it has closed a lot in the last 30-40 years), and PRC had far more to gain from US trade than vice versa, so the US arguably had more power to set the ground terms for the relationship – but the US despite having the far stronger hand chose not to play it.

> Wasn't the previous Canadian prime minister at least as xenophobic as Trump?

God no. They passed a (bullshit) law saying that they could revoke the Canadian citizenship of someone under specific circumstances. You had to be a dual citizen (or eligible?) and commit one of a few crimes.

- obtaining citizenship by fraud (this I think is entirely reasonable)
- committing an act of terrorism
- treason
- taking up arms against Canada

The liberals repealed some of this already (IIRC everything but the portions about fraudulently obtaining citizenship).

> What will prevent Canadians from out-crazying the US in the next major election?

We have a sane electoral system and just generally aren't as crazy.

I was also wondering about this. I would have put in the engineering effort to migrate to nginx (at least as a front-end proxy) from Apache for this. Seems like a lot of reloads that could be avoided (even doing graceful reloads in Apache gives me the willies).
Depends on individual developers and how easily Xcode 9 will let devs target older devices.

For example, the iPad 2 can't upgrade to iOS 10, but plenty of apps still support iOS 9.
Would extend this to: "keep your personal data backed up too" - and for low-value or low-security data, it's easily done with consumer commercial services, since they're designed to allow you to be lazy and have no backup discipline.
Based on what evidence? Apple still accepts 32-bit slices if you want to submit them. 64-bit slices are required.

Information overload is plague of modern society
I'm not sure that this means what the article says it means. Apple was selling the iPhone 5C in India until less than a year ago. Dropping support for the new OS that soon would be uncharacteristic for the iPhone.

Instead, they may simply be dropping support for 32 bit apps on a 64 bit CPU. Having to support 64 bit and 32 bit apps one a single device forces them to ship two versions of every shared library, and is probably annoying for them in various types of interprocess communication, because, for example, CGFloat and integer types are different sizes.

My guess is that they will release a 32 bit version of iOS and a 64 bit version, and each one will only run apps for the native processor word size.
I would love to see this example worked out in any of these---including credit for the phone calls. I think they're all trying, but miss the power of awk's simplicity.
> I smoked for 20 years and I've heard countless reasons from smokers for being inconsiderate but they all basically boil down to selfishness.

That explains it. Ex smokers always rant about smokers as a way to deal with the cravings they still have. This isn't about the smell of smokers, it's about you wanting a cigarette when you smell them.

They way things are going with AI. You have a good algorithm, you can get rich very quickly by being a one man business with hardware rented in AWS.

Libratus AI player is modelling it's human counterparts and predicting how they think to outsmart them.

When Google started, they got the page rank algorithm and distributed algorithms good enough to run on shitty unreliable cheap computers. They are well on the way to become the world's largest company overtaking Apple someday.

Their ad algorithms already know that I am applying for a house loan and are blasting me with ads every fucking page I visit on the Internet.

I can totally see Google and Facebook personalizing ads per person and taking advantage of the person's vulnerablaties. Like psychologically modelling them to make them click ads and buy random shit. I can see the start of ultimate God algorithms for marketing.

I think you need the feeds from verified individuals first, then you need some new way to integrate those resembling neither Twitter nor newspapers but tailored to specific audiences who know their stuff and can contribute/correct too.

For example some people do stats, some do a map some do commentary from the ground, and maybe someone ties it together.

What are your thoughts on the way news should evolve, I'm genuinely really interested in this area.
