If you're ok with Google storing your stuff, I have recently switched from Evernote to simply using the Save to Google Drive chrome extension, and it's very good. It doesn't do the whole "remove the fluff" thing but it has the option of storing an image (PNG) of the page, or the html, or a web archive (html + resources) straight into a folder of your google drive. It's not complete, but it's a potential replacement.
My phone was stolen. here's footage of the thieves

Collate seems to hit all the right notes though, so I'll probably switch to that.
> I'm really surprised Google didn't go all in with making Hangouts a decent competitor. I have a feeling this will make a lot of money.

I guess video conferencing is about to get really easy to implement over WebRTC.

So I'm guessing there will be an explosion of competitors soon.
> AMD CPUs all supported ECC DRAM, but I could not find a motherboard-chipset-BIOS setup

You sure? Around that time I plumped down a Phenom X4 and ECC RAM on an ASUS board, and I thought it supported ECC - the chipset was AMD too.
i thought about it too, but then just replace dog with human baby for theory purposes
actually most of the people in countries you mentioned don't eat dog, winner here would be developed Korea
These federally insured loans seem to be a common source of problems. The massive moral hazard means that incentives don't operate correctly. How do we fix it? Can we wind down and stop federally insured loan programs?
So, since California has a significant state tax, it would be a reasonable expectation for Californians to put other Californians first at all times? Also note that people living inside the country contribute to it, not just those born there or those who finished their 15+ years long naturalization process...
the hole doesn't have strengthened walls i guess so soil would collapse
That looks promising, thanks for the tip!
I think the issue might more be related to yields and distribution. Even when AMD were outpacing Intel (many years back) they struggled to meet demand and manufacture enough chips.

There was a great article back then too about why Apple and Dell weren't going all in on AMD chips and whilst sweeteners from Intel is part of it, a lot of it had to do with Dell or Apple's typical volume far outpacing what AMD could reliably manufacture.
It depends on the filesystem but yes, it can.
He should revise his Apache configuration, because there's definitely something wrong there. First request is taking twice as long as second one's:

Oh wow, I skimmed most of the article, mostly looking for how they got the app on iPhones, and did not even catch this. Misleading indeed.
I would love the Mac App Store if it worked well, like Steam or the Play Store.

Unfortunately it's a piece of garbage.

> not sure how that would work when you want a join a meeting from a physical meeting room with its own AV system. I'm sure there is a way to get that set up.

As someone who works in video conferencing, this is often very broken. The are all kinds of compatibility issues and crappy UX. One of our core selling points is getting room systems into online meetings.
I've charged my 15" Touchbar MBP with a 2 amp charger and a USB-A -> USB-C charger. Both used it for overnight charing and while plugged in (when using it plugged in it wouldn't draw battery but it wouldn't charge it either, maybe even drawing battery very slowly).
midget then

seriously 35cm ain't that small, i am almost 2m tall and when checking those Vietkong tunnels i could fit in secret hole in ground which was slightly bigger than my shoe

i am pretty sure for 35cm you could go with normal skinny adult, no need even midget
Instapaper Outage Cause and Recovery
I took a subject at university that included a C# component. It was 2002 so it must have been .NET 1.0. I liked it, it reminded me of Borland C++ for Windows, Delphi, and similar RAD tools that I had played around with. I remember being super confused by boxing at first!

It's really matured well. Great work, and Happy Birthday .NET!
home-brew is my App Store these days. I only go to the 'official' Mac App Store out of curiosity to see new releases - and then I wait until they show up in 'brew cask'. If they don't: meh. I don't care. If they do, then I happily use home-brew to install new apps.

The reason? home-brew is just such an elegant way of administering installed Apps without doing the 'download, mount, drag to ~/Applications, etc.' dance ..
Now you only have to teach the dog to climb the ladder.

I've started treating Medium's staff picks as reference of what's US's caviar left is currently about, but I can't really blame them. They go for 'Valleys interests in tech culture and controversy that US academia/progressives are discussing at the moment. Two groups they are targeting and that overlap over each other. I'm still finding interesting read on Medium, just from other authors and subjects.
I do not quite understand why the article calls it a "problem" at the end. I work in a feature factory. Business is good, employees love working at the company. What more could you ask for?
Most of the problems 'used to be' the case when .net was still young (like the first 2-5 years). I never see those problems anymore.
IoT in the Healthcare Sector Industry to Grow at a CAGR of 36.5% by 2020
Usually, whenever I see something I like on the Internet these days, I "print to PDF" so I can have an offline copy. This is a great habit and I just do it out of routine these days.

So when I did it for this site, I was quite surprised that cmd-P didn't give me the standard Print dialog, but rather downloaded a pre-formatted PDF straight from the site, directly, instead.

Whoa! How do they do that? Cool feature, saves me a few clicks .. ;)

Yes, like most of the "undefined behaviour allows your computer to format the disk"-style posts this one seems to be written by a programmer with novice-intermediate C knowledge.

What irks me is the intro >> The purpose of this article is to make everyone (especially C programmers) say: “I do not know C”. <<

I think the purpose of the article was mainly for the author to write down some things he learned. Apparently it was his expectation that readers wouldn't be able to answer the quiz.

However, if you can't answer (at least most) of these questions correctly you're _not_ an expert c programmer.

So I think the correct intro here should be "The purpose of this blog post is to to show that if you want to learn C, you actually have to learn it and should not attempt to 'wing it'".

...and maybe also that you should not write patronizing blog posts about a topic which you haven't fully grasped yet yourself.
Apache Hadoop for Beginners
I'm with you. I have the same feeling about web, desktop and smartphone - each iteration of software does the same or less than previous one, while eating up any resource surplus created by advancements in hardware and optimizations of software stack.

I hope your visit went well.
These are not even milliseconds, the charts are in microseconds and a reduction of 40 to < 10 µs... so basically just noise when compared with the other things most apps will be doing, a 0.04 ms reduction.

I agree it's not worth the focus on fast, they should be focussed on improving the API for the stdlib templates (for example loading templates is not obvious, what I'd like to do is point it at a directory and load all templates under that dir, being able to set layouts and partials would be nice etc). Speed is not a big problem with the existing templating.
I think Apple has devolved into middle aged middle manager computing. Photos of the kids and the holidays are nice, videos are nice, being able to buy music and movies is nice, oh, and maybe some popular games.

Look, it plays Angry Birds and that thing with the cars - what more could anyone want?

And there's a text and presentation editor, and a spreadsheet, because those are super important.

I'd guess there's no one to represent any of the pro user communities in Cupertino any more at the top levels. There's certainly no passion for making beautiful, creative tools any more.

I still like the hardware - the iPad Pro is a favourite in this house, and I'm enjoying a new MacBook - but how I wish someone could give MacOS software like iTunes and Photos a kick up the ass to make it awesome instead of eccentric and annoying.

And how I wish Apple would open up to all the creative communities and start listening to what pro users want, instead of telling us that we don't really need what we used to have and we should - y'know - just get over ourselves.
That'd be adequate for a simple nas (samba/dav) and maybe running a 24/7 torrent client with a simple web interface but that's it, yeah.

Still, a box is a box :P

It's taking 350ms for me, but most of that is high ping (250ms) and it looks like most of the rest is analytics. It takes 30ms to render when downloaded (which skips the analytics). Take out the script entirely and it's down to 10ms.

It's hard to tell when the irony and sarcasm gets that deep, but I think it's intentionally bad. Their changes are 1. a hipster domain, 2. monospace fonts and 3. lower contrast, which are recent design trends that I believe they are mocking and part of what the original was reacting against.
Hi Torbi! I know some teachers, schools and "programming clubs for kids" in Finland that have done exactly the same thing for many years now. Most of the material I know is, unfortunately, in Finnish but I think I could translate some of it if needed.

Meantime you can send me mail kma4554 gmail.com, I'm very glad to help, especially with 1, 2, 4, and 5.
one more point

- invest in storage technology

Can we imagine, if we can store all electricity and reuse at night, it will reduce a lot of cost ?
The statistical expectation from the dataset that you link to is $86,328.67 [1]. I no nothing about US salaries, but I don't consider this value a competitive salary. Therefore, I believe the premise of the article is statically correct. Citing a few example with large salaries (Apple, Google, ...) is misleading.

We went with EFS for our RethinkDB instances on EC2. Was set up as a big data store, so read latency wasn't really an issue. Works well.

Your statement about 12 yo kids is an understatement - while I'm plodding along doing 50m every 45 sec (admittedly over a distance), the 12 year olds from my local club are leaving me standing. They're probably aiming towards 50m in around 30 sec.

I'm sure the special forces guys are much bigger and heavier than that and as another commenter said, speed will not be their top priority.
Good news: you won't lose any data from resizing your EBS down.

Bad news: that's because you can't make your EBS smaller.

Digital Marketing and the Legal Industry
Happy birthday .NET
I have known you since the start. C# had me straightaway, I was so relieved to stop using C++ lol (just kidding, no I am serious).
I remember the early developmentor crash courses we took, before embarking on an "enterprise corporate banking ecommerce platform". Talk about jumping into a new technology at the deep end.
We hit all the issues, Dataset serialization across .NET Remoting, Reflection costs, assembly size issues, remembering to strong name the assembly sn -k, and the GAC.
Oh and I will never forget the talk on how .NET Remoting WebServices and XML are the future, but at least we could fallback to TCP Binary when things got hairy performance wise!

15 years later its a hell of a platform now!
Agreed! I also hate it when people think their methods are so rational that they represent the ground truth, and are not biased in any way.
I did mention latency, which you can't do much about. For me it's around 100ms from response received to rendering, most of which seems to be google analytics. I don't know where the server is, but I'm in Australia so it's probably crossing the pacific. See my reply to the other person for why I'm blaming analytics.
Intel FPGAs target IoT secure connectivity
an i7 6900k costs more than 1000 dollars. The top spec AMD chip which is supposed to be within spitting distance, also 8/16, is less than half that price. It's going to take a real benchmark letdown for these AMD chips not to fly out the door. The floating point (AVX-256) will not be competitive, but the rest of the chip will have a tough time NOT being a success at the leaked prices, even if it proves to be 20% or so slower. Recall that for one of the huge markets, gaming, the Vulkan and DX12 APIs make much better use of multithreaded code so core counts suddenly matter much more.

Anyway I think the Internet is already primed for Intel still to have the edge on single core perf. Not a single AMD-controlled benchmark has not been amply caveated as such by the coverage so far, with good doses of scepticism, just like your post. Nobody's expecting parity IMO, they're just expecting something competitive, at the right price. And the price is half.

Yes, you are absolutely right. "EBS volumes can only be increased, not decreased".
Degree type is still very much betting on the future - and judging on earning average or potential can have some unwanted consequences.

It is a bet because one cannot predict which fields will have good salaries, which will go down, and which will go up: With a college student, you are easily trying to guess if their job will be around in 10, 15, and 20 years... or beyond.

Besides, some professions require schooling, yet they aren't exactly high-paying careers. For example:

Accredited pre-school teachers need an associates' degree, yet in some areas you earn around minimum wage. Sometimes your college job will pay more by then. 'Normal' teacher salaries start low in most places, with no income during the summers. Nurses get paid more, luckily, but not enough to be comfortable at times. Doctors get paid more, but have a heap of debt. Criminal lawyers aren't necessarily rolling in money, especially if you are a public defender. And that is a seriously needed job.

If you base on demand of a job or on the money they are expected to make with the job, it could easily mean that some of these necessary positions won't have folks to fill them unless they have a way to pay for school.
As usual, Jeff Barr's blog post is much more informative than the announcement.

Grip strength is actually not a terrible place to start regardless of direct causality. When most people start weight training, particularly the major pulls (deadlifts, pull ups), the grip is the first part of the lift to fail.
Nobody, not even "bloggers" are "going nuts" about thinness. Thinness is a pathetically played-out gimmick with which Apple continues to embarrass itself and hideously degrade its products.

The glued-together computers with soldered-in RAM, soldered-in SSDs, and chintzy, shitty keyboards (at ever-higher prices) serve NO ONE. Nobody was complaining that Apple's products were "too thick."

Jony Ive should be fired. His ideas revolve around new ways to eliminate usefulness, and the public has voted his designs a failure. How do we know? The vast majority of customers bury their "thin, elegant" iPhones in a bulky, tacky case. And then they carry a power brick and wad of wire around, so they can beg bartenders to plug their phones in (or crawl under tables to do so themselves). It's sad.

That doesn't follow. My friends who are not US citizens and are here on H-1B visas (and have similar jobs as I do) pay significantly more in taxes than I do. And many of the programs those taxes pay into (like Social Security) are closed to them because they're non-citizens.

Given that many US citizens don't start paying much if anything in the way of taxes until post-education (18-22), a non-citizen coming to the US right after college will be paying roughly the same.

But ok, let's say that's not persuasive. I was born in New Jersey, and grew up in Maryland. I moved to California when I was 23 to start working. My family had of course never paid CA state taxes. Should CA have placed artificial "preferences" on workers who were born in CA, preferences that would have put me at the bottom of the hiring pile? Should I have been excluded from a job because other Californians were unemployed at the time? If that sounds ridiculous, then applying the same reasoning to a non-citizen sounds just about as ridiculous.
Websites can now fingerprint a device when multiple browser instances are used
> they struggled to meet demand and manufacture enough chips.

I would think, and hope, that the situation is better now. Back then, AMD was manufacturing their chips in house, now they're manufactured by GlobalFoundries and TSMC.
The main challenge for me seems to be that users do not have a concept of maintaining a digital identity and the key management that goes along with it. They just expect their real world identity to somehow translate automatically.

This just does not happen. Though I wonder if government-issued digital ID might be of benefit here to encourage good practices. Estonian ID-cards carry key pairs, so if email clients supported GPG email with smartcard-hosted keys (uhh maybe some do but I never heard of one) then this might be an approach worth undertaking.
