I'm sure it has genetic components, but the question for me is rather whether those components differ between peoples. I'd assume that evolutionary pressure selected quite heavily for people who can be trusted to cooperate.
about 5 hours, just imagine how thin new macs could get!!1

look at iPhone 6 for clues - Apple replaced 0.1 mm thick piece of metal rf shield with a sticker to make it thinner, that removed metal can was reinforcing pcb and all the bga chips, without it iPhone 6/6+ bends, cracks balls under important ICs and develops touch disease.
>The poor timing for Kaby Lake mobile processors [was one of] Apple's reasons stated when the topic of "the MBP isn't keeping up with the competition" arises.

I've heard similar sentiments quite a few times. However, there's little reason to believe that Apple would have been able to meet their needs better than Intel could have. It's not like Intel's development schedule was misaligned with Apple. They just couldn't get the processor out in time.

>I believe the exact opposite

There's no belief system here. You are confused by propaganda. What you think is factually wrong and just about any example in history quickly proves this. No matter which example we consider, it contradicts what you wrote exactly.
I think you might be confused. One of the nice things to happen to OSS was the availability of kernel ( Linux kernel that is ) and git ( ... ) and both set very open models which allowed the OSS to trive. Github allowed for using git without knowing it .
Interesting. I've been wanting a better terminal for some time. rxvt is super buggy, especially with clickable URLs. xfce4-terminal is better but select-to-copy is flaky and doesn't always copy the text I select.

I really wanted st to work for me but something is wrong with the character sizing when using Source Code Pro (17pt) as the font. I installed this on my Arch laptop (a hidpi ThinkPad T460s) and something is seriously screwy with the fonts. At top is xfce4-termina; on the bottom is st:

I would report this to the author but I don't see any way to do so.
Huh? What?

Several points:

* Who said the 10MB is all used at once?

* I don't know your hardware, but there is very, very good chance you are actually quite wrong about <10MB of cache. These days, most magnetic disks have more cache than that, and if you are using SSD's, there's a boatload more cache than that in there.

* If you were referring strictly to CPU cache, then I'm even more confused, because the entire existence of that stuff is predicated on it being faster than memory, so... (and even still, if your total CPU cache isn't 10MB, it likely isn't that much smaller).

* It's not like the whole package would sit in RAM the whole time anyway. By your same assertion, I could say that one of my CPU registers is only 64-bits wide, so I imagine all programs larger than 64-bits can't run faster than L3 cache...

I'm not sure why you'd say it is too big. The article page is 1.4 MB alone... and it still needs to leverage a general purpose runtime/JIT that is orders of magnitude larger to do its single fixed purpose.
I never really liked outside much as a kid and found those kinds of games a lot more fun and "adventurous" than outside. To recall my exact feelings at the time, in Spyro I was working towards goals and finding cool stuff like fairies and treasure, while trees and rocks outside were just "there." Nowadays I can appreciate nature just fine (lately I watched a particular great blue heron occasionally throughout a semester that hangs around campus waiting to see if I could watch it catch a fish from the pond and it eventually did, cool thing to see) but at the time it kind of felt like a chore having to go outside. In addition to satisfying the criteria of exploration, I think the right kinds of video games are very beneficial with regards to reading/coordination/other skills at a young age, like with my reading anecdote, but I haven't read any actual studies on it. For stuff like building treehouses and other more creative ventures there's Minecraft et al. All without losing real limbs, falling down real wells, or getting stung by real bees a real mile from home and learning you have a real bee allergy.
I have been running Gitlab CE for around three years now and I am very happy with it. The interface it good. The access management works very good. And the best part? Keeping it updated is very easy on a ubuntu box. Just a couple of very easy commands.

I am so happy with Gitlab that I didn't even install Gogs even once to give it a try, though I know about it since it's initial days. For me Gitlab CE just works. Unless Gitea shows a 10x feature I am very unlikely to shift away from Gitlab CE.
The hardest bug I had to track down exhibited different behavior on different systems. On one system, it only took an hour or two for the program (a daemon) to crash; on another system, several days could pass before a crash.

I was able to track it down once I realized that signal handlers were, technically speaking, another thread of execution in a special context ...
There will certainly be ARM-based laptops running Windows 10. Have you looked into that?

They are different from the Surface RT (Windows on ARM) machines because the also run traditional x86 apps (not just a port of Office).
[modifier]+shift+insert or [modifier]+shift+v are the default bindings for paste. [modifier] is most commonly Alt or Super (the Windows key). Keep in mind that your window manager might already have a binding for these, preventing them from working.

You can always use ssh and something like xclip or pbcopy.

Also, I always use mosh for ssh (when possible) so that I can recover my connection if I run into network issues. Since mosh works by synchronizing a virtual screen, I don't get scrollback at all without tmux or the like.
I doubt it. There's a difference between playing and exploring the real world, and sitting in a room.

My parents took the easy route of indoor parenting, with video games / books / school / instrument practice... be safe all the time. I was consistently at the top of my class and reasonably successful socially... but that upbringing did a lot of damage mentally. It's like being raised in a glass cage.

I plan to go the other way with my kids. Buy 10 acres out in the country or woods near some other families, far from the concrete jungle... Let the kids run free and explore, sit and learn, play video games, whatever. My parenting mentality is to provide freedom, and advice on using that freedom (living). If they ignore my advice and do stupid stuff, the pain will teach them the value of advice.
This is a gratuitously polarizing and flamewar-baiting comment.

The issue described in the article is not a directly partisan one and parents are not "traitors" for having a different idea than you do about how independently their children should be allowed to explore their surroundings.

There are actually two sides of what is referred to as causal inference. Either (a) inferring a causal graph from the data, or (b) given a graph and data, measuring the causal effect of variables among each other.

The broad idea in (a) is to start with a fully connected graph, and eliminate edges between nodes that can be tested as independent, or independent conditionally on other nodes. This gives you a non-directed graph which can be oriented by several methods (identifying V-structures, looking at residuals of regressions of X on Y vs Y on X).

The theory in (b) actually generalizes instrumental variables and lays out graphical configurations where you can measure the causal effect of a variable onto another variable, and how to compute that effect.

Bugs. When you work all day long in a terminal, you need it to be reliable. As I mentioned above, xfce4-terminal is what I normally use but select-to-copy doesn't work 100% of the time. This is super annoying. I'd switch to rxvt but it has its own problems. Despite having had terminals for so much longer, *nix has fallen behind macOS when it comes to terminal usability and reliability.
Reminds of a time when a friend Of mine was rollerblading to my home from hers (~5 miles). She called me mid way because she found 2 kids (maybe 12 years old) carrying a ton of stuff down an empty 3 mile road. She asked me to drive my car to them to help them out carrying all the stuff. When I got there, one of them hopped on right away but the other held back, almost with a scared face. My friend insisted that they let us help but I told her to leave them alone. We left.

It felt weird to feel like I did something wrong.
That depends on whether you consider the word of an anonymous 4channer to be as reliable as that of a former intelligence officer.

Personally, I do not.
I started with similar tools: Borland Delphi and the Object Pascal language.
Finance Lesson – Income Statements, Balance Sheets, Present Value [video]
The most important reason to organize your government as a republic instead of a direct democracy is that voters can't always be trusted (a) to put the best interests of the nation as a whole ahead of their own, or (b) to even know what their best interests are. "That was clearly a really self-destructive/evil/illegal/otherwise terrible idea once we spent more time thinking about it" is a perfectly fine justification in an ideal world. In reality, of course, it would probably be very difficult to explain satisfactorily to the electorate, especially the stereotypical Brexit/Trump "low-information" voter.

One potential way to counteract this is through collusion by the MPs. If, for instance, all of Parliament were agreed that Article 50 was a terrible idea, but didn't want anyone to lose their seat over it, they could organize their votes such that they can all get out relatively unscathed. The ones from left-wing districts are probably okay either way, and then the conservatives just have to pick the handful that have the safest seats to be the nays that push it over the edge.
So this actually gets to 2 different readings of the point of the article.

One reading, the one that maybe I'm reading into it, is that parents now are viewing the world as more dangerous than it is, and are ignoring the dangers that existed in the past to get to this viewpoint. This viewpoint is then informing their view about what is appropriate for their children. That is, I took the anecdote to mean, parents are misjudging the risks currently and were viewing the past to be less risky than it was.

The other viewpoint, which I think you are presenting is, parents now don't have any different assessment of the risks, they just have less appetite for risk. Given that interpretation, I'll buy the lesson of the anecdote is just have more appetite for risk.
It says

> does not contain any third-party software, including without limitation, “open source,” “copy left,” “public” or other similar code or anything derived from or based on any of the foregoing

which absolutely, _obviously_ means you _do_ want to own or exclude code folks write outside of Gigster projects, since it says it can't contain open source code or be derived from or based on open source code. This is ludicrous -- almost every modern hardware or software product contains or is based on some open source or public code, including Macs (BSD code or BSD-derived code at core) all Android phones (all Android operating systems include and/or derived from open-source Android software), almost all web sites (based on/contains/derived from open source software like Wordpress etc.)

So, since you left that clause in there, you either fundamentally do not understand how modern software is built, or you do, and you thought that it was OK to pretend that it doesn't work that way and maybe somehow you could hold the developers responsible for the 'misunderstanding' if anyone called you on it.

Proteus can be very expensive if you want to go legitimate though. A single VSM license is upwards of $200. In most cases it's cheaper for a hobbyist to just buy the components and test out the circuit than to run the simulation.

That being said... it's super useful tool. I used a bootleg version of Proteus during undergrad. Coming from a third-world country where electronics labs are often severely under-equipped... it went a long way towards helping me understand the material I was covering.

Indeed.

It's not about sneering a VB. I don't see the use of it in 2017. I started using VB6 in 1999 - 2000. I was a pretty good C and C++ programmer, I could do a little MFC, I was pretty good at writing COM and DCOM dlls in C++, etc. but I saw a real advantage of VB to getting used friendly GUI apps done and the IDE was pretty good. I would often wrap c++ code in ATL wrappers to create COM objects to use in VB.

But what's the real purpose of VB today? No matter how you look at it, either C# is just as easy as VB.net or VB.Net is just as complicated as C#. It seems just wordier and redundant.
Another application I see is instruction encoding. On the MIPS, for instance, a 32-bit instruction is broken down into 6, 5, 5, 5, 5 and 6 bits (or 64 32 32 32 32 64 per the article); the Motorola 68000 had a breakdown of 4, 3, 3, 3 and 3 bits (16 8 8 8 8).

If that's that what nonbel is actually saying, then nonbel does not have much experience with modern science. The difference between P(Y|X) and P(Y|do(X)) are, in my scientific experience, the difference between doing science and doing statistics. The difference between understanding and guessing. This is precisely the difference between quantitative understanding and "astrology," as they phrased it.

I'm not really sure of the timeline, but I think Delphi pioneered the "reusable components" paradigm and VB was Microsoft's entry into the market.

Can you elaborate a little?

I can't tell from the way you phrased your question, but a guess as to what you are getting at is "How much additional value does Netflix gain from adding a new series?"

The netflix business model is based on a pretty simple formula. Their library has value. People who have already subscribed to netflix will continue to pay them for access to that library until they have exhausted it to their satisfaction, and then they will leave. You can extract a number from your database of user interactions which more or less quantifies this business model, and that number, times the number of expected subscribers is how much your library is worth.

So if for less than $8/month/person they can continue to expand their library by more than $8/month/person, they will do so. The system is built on intrinsic value. It may be argued that that value is speculative, but not exclusively so.

Additionally, they have really good prospecting for potential shows. They know what their users li. This translates in no small way to evaluating shows before they have any data on who likes them (it's not a perfect mapping, but it's still better than what hollywood has). So the generation of new content is actually more targeted than it was before. Indicating a content model which is less speculative, which is, again, less bubbly.

So is netflix a bubble? Maybe, but probably not for the reasons that you or the woman in the video you linked specified.

> We have purposely designed our cities to maximize vehicle throughput and require car ownership

This is just one specific example of the broader phenomenon, which is corporations seek to remove all of our abilities to take care of ourselves and our communities, so that they may resell those things to us as products. Requiring cars to move around is just the surface.

We go to coffee shops and restaurants to see our friends.

We purchase MP3s or concert tickets to hear music.

We order food instead of cooking it let alone growing it.

And of course this is all a luxury to some: many of us would be happy to never have to walk significant distance, cook, or listen to a local musician ever again.

But it's in the corporations best interest that children aren't really given a choice. And that serves nation states' best interest, which is to grow the GDP. But the result is a world of people who, without a credit card, are babies unable to care for themselves. Short of someone putting food in our mouths and maintaining the grounds around us, we would be lost. Luckily we have the cash to afford these things.

And those who fall through the cracks of being able to hold a job are eaten up.

All hail GDP. All hail capital. Thank you Gates, Koch, Slim, Walton, for providing us with internet connectivity, petrol, and toilet paper this day.

So what you're saying is:

1) obviously the UK was in the EU for the past years

2) people voted against this for 2 reasons. One, they're against the EU. Two, they're not happy with how their own lives changed under 1.

3) We should ignore the second argument and go against the will of the people because ... we're smarter and think that argument is wrong ? Because their lives got worse for other reasons, not this policy ?

I disagree. When push comes to shove the government is responsible for outcomes. If your policies can't produce good outcomes for everyone, they don't deserve to exist.

And frankly, the way the EU is being run, I would vote to leave as well. Not because I'm rightist, quite the opposite. Because I'm an actual leftist:

a) the EU is an extreme right government for an electorate that is decidedly NOT extreme-right (tax income, public losses, private profits, too big to fail, DRASTIC action against asset/wealth taxes, ...)

We need a leftist government.

b) the population is right : globalization is definitely one of the factors that made them worse off.

c) the EU's monetary policy is a fantasy. The EU wants to devalue it's currency over time by giving money to the banks and taking it away from governments. This is not what their rhetoric says, but they've been doing it for 15 years now, I find myself unwilling to accept the rhetoric. The EU is built on an economic policy of asset inflation and this is clearly non-negotiable (poor Greeks).

I want out.

d) So far, by staying out of the Euro, the UK has staved off the biggest dangers of the EU monetary policy, but this can't last.

And frankly, I suspect this is at least partially what happened in the US. Trump, the republican candidate, certainly appeared to be to the left, economically, of the democrat candidate at a time when lots of people got systematically worse off. Meanwhile Hillary was proud to show that Wall Street was on her side ... And her opponent Trumpeting mostly economic arguments : jobs, not capital. Production in the US, not globalization. Well, he got elected, she didn't. Must be racism ... right ? Perhaps. I submit that Trump got far more votes from his promise to tax income less and tax imports than is generally believed, especially on this site.

I think that partially the democrats have been hijacked by this immigration, tolerance, ... ideology. It has gone too far. Traditionally, of course, the right is pro-immigration (cheap labor, acceptance of very weak employment conditions, tolerant of outright abuse and exploitation), and the left is anti-immigration, because they're trying to improve the position of the poor in society. Improving that position through scarcity of course works.
