I strongly doubt AMD are specifically targeting the desktop/laptop CPU market.

* Cloud computing has an absurd market cap.[1]

* Ryzen has some features that specifically target cloud computing:

* * More PCIe lanes than a Xeon. These are basically useless for desktop/gaming (as SLI doesn't scale beyond 2 cards). This shines for cloud computing because you can fit more GPUs in a blade. There's also ML to consider.

* * Virtualization security features. The chip can automatically encrypt pages, mitigating some of the virtualization attacks that we have seen recently.

* * More compute per watt. Cost is nice to have (which Ryzen has), but cooling is one of the main concerns when selecting chips for high density.

Intel's brand power is a waste of time and money to compete with. Unless AMD can sort something out with Apple (for example), Intel are going to continue dominating the desktop market - irrespective of which chip is actually superior. It's incredibly likely that only enthusiasts would buy a Ryzen - who AMD has catered for with XFR. Essentially, ignoring IGP is likely a strategic decision because it's irrelevant for the markets that AMD can easily attack.

well based on weight and size current generation laptops from Dell, Apple, and others, still has being doing a double take when picking up my laptop bag; as in is it in there?

I think the battle over thinness and weight was well worth it but the next battle is getting workflow to work in a full touch screen interface similar to the surface pro do and not he half ass move Apple made with that touch bar. Applications and imagination are holding that up. I do not expect keyboards to ever go away completely but pointing devices are another thing entirely
Yes. We use it with clients frequently.
There have been bugs in open source cryptography. E.G. Heartbleed, shellshock, etc.

There are state actors that will pay to find the bugs, or put the bugs there (and the underhand C contest shows how hard it is to find the bugs).

Open source is not an ironclad guarantee.
I guess like every option mentioned here they all suck for someone. We have used Uberconference and the audio quality is terrible. And it's not uniformly terrible either which is even more frustrating. Some of the attendees won't be able to understand some people and other attendees everything sounds fine (although it always sounds like a poor quality cellphone conversation).

With Google Hangouts we have poor quality audio as well and at least once per day we have someone that their audio won't come thorough unless they restart their Mac.
If you are on a 3–5 year cycle it is relevant because you would be stuck with it for 3–5 years. Unless you like the hassle of migrating to your new MacBook Pro, test it for a week, and then return it. If you are unlucky, you can’t migrate back because the newly upgraded macOS, iTunes library or Photos library is not compatible with your old macOS, iTunes library or Photos library. So you won’t be able to migrate back or open your libraries.

> If you're new to lifting, have someone who isn't show you proper form.

I cannot emphasize this enough. And even then, be extremely careful with heavy lifts (anything more than, say, what your body weight would be at 20% body fat).

I worked regularly with an extremely good Rippetoe-certified coach. My form was better than most of the beginners you see in the gym. At 40, I was stronger than I was as a high-school athlete, and it was an amazing feeling.

But one day, a 245x5 squat set went very slightly weird. Two days latter, I had tingling and numbness in my foot soles. It turns out that I'd aggravated a relatively minor disk bulge at L4/L5 (about half the population has a disk bulge there). And now I've been in moderate pain for close to three months with very slow improvement.

The long-term prognosis is excellent, as far as I know. I will almost certainly heal. I know plenty of people who've done worse to their backs and who are fine today.

But heed my example: If you're going to do heavy lifts, especially deadlifts or squats, make sure your form is as close to perfect as you can get it, and remember that you can't eliminate all risk.

One thing I have noticed: There are no 55- to 70-year-old powerlifters in the gym. But there are old bodybuilders who've been lifting for 40+ years with only the rarest of injuries. They're careful, and they say things like, "I don't like the risk/reward on heavy squats." When I return to serious lifting, I'm considering on giving up on powerlifting and switching to a more bodybuilding-centric program.
Random idea: Couldn't browsers have two modes of browsing, one lightweight one where only the most basic of JS features are enabled by default (this is something that 99% of websites actually need) and the full version where everything is enabled. The lightweight one is the default state and the users can manually switch to full version. Or even better use logistic regression or a neural network to decide when a website genuinely needs advanced features and when it's just to track you.
As a bonus the lightweight mode would also probably render much faster?
How realistic is this? What would be the downside?

Theses are extremely strong statements. Could you elaborate (if it doesn't put your career in danger, of course) ?
There's the rub: if trying to implement, e.g., the whole Names thing, you'll find that the requirements are impossible to satisfy - if you avoid the Scylla of one, the Charybdis of another will get you. The point is to be aware of the limitations, and know which ones you are accomodating, which you are avoiding, which you are breaking, and why. The other option is akin to "MEH EVERYTHING IS UPPERCASE ASCII CHARACTER OR A SPACE NOTHING ELSE MATTERS", which sounds a bit...backward...in 2017, and will come back to bite you.

> Wouldn't offering visas to "rising" countries allow us to pick off much of their best talent, thus boosting the US and lowering the other countries?

I haven't seen H1B visa's used like this in my personal experience. At the last company I worked for they were mostly used to fill our testing team with people from India.

Maybe they were all guinness, the problem was all but one of them could speak/write english fluently.

I can also look at my boyfriend's current employer who recently took a trip to india in order to hire a team of indians "on the cheap" only to fire all but 1 within a month after they didn't really get anything productive done.
Although they word it poorly, I think the point is that those numbers should be compared to similar software issues experienced on Windows platforms, in which case the benefit of switching back is a lot slimmer. As noted a bit later:

I submit that it's because the people in one camp feel that Apple screwed them in order to cater to people in the second camp. The people in the first camp are sick of hearing how the MBP is adequate for the people in the second camp, and are projecting a little bit.
That's fine if you're not hurting your current citizens. Pick off those talented people at a proper wage. Companies aren't seeking talent that American engineers don't have. They're seeking cheap labor.

Kim Jong-un's half-brother was assassinated
> Glancing at that first patent quoted in the article makes you think the patent office follows a "first at the goalpost" strategy of awarding patent protection, and ignoring ingenuity.

That's actually precisely what the Patent Office does now.

https://gigaom.com/2013/03/18/first-to-file-patent-law-start...

It's even worst for the world of software, because pretty much any piece of software will eventually be independently developed by someone else, yet the one to first file for it will get to reap all the rewards.

Well, in practice others get to do it, too, while hoping they don't get sued, but that's just because of selective enforcement - if the patent law was enforced 100% of the time the system would quickly break-down.

For instance, I think there once was an article on Bloomberg about a smartphone containing 250,000 patented inventions. Even if say 80% of those were expired (I don't remember if it mentioned that older patents were included), nobody would be able to make a smartphone, unless each unit cost like $10,000, so they could afford to pay everyone.

But the patent system isn't anywhere near being enforced 100% of the time, so we limp along with it broken as it is, with only a few companies getting to rip-off those making the products, because they "own the patent" (while most of them don't even have their own similar products).
I mean, it's not like your people are being forced to use and buy products from these companies. So why should the US be forced to take in workers from other countries?

Even if companies are paying the same as local workers, there is still the issue of the employer having so much power over the worker.

That seems reasonable. I'm kind of in the middle, I suppose; in daily use I want minimal friction and inconvenience, which makes the phone camera a win, and on the other end I want to mount a telescope and fill the frame with a sharp-shinned hawk at rest or the moon in full phase, and that seems to pretty much require a DSLR.

(I also learned the basics on my grandfather's Nikkormat FTn, which I now have and regularly wish I could go back to film and use. That's a tough standard for any P&S to live up to, and silly as it is, I can't help but make the comparison.)

I have 7+ years in Software & Web development. Backed with strong Ruby on Rails, Node (react, Redux, Meteor), Java and PHP (Symfony 2) skills as well as have a solid DevOps and Software Architect expertise. Would like to consider remote opportunities as well as relocation (Asia/Australia and US/UK are mostly considered). I am pretty and confident, responsive and reliable. Have passionate to work on interesting start-ups, especially in fashion, adult and FinTech niches, however I find enthusiastic to work for a big company as well.
Would love to hear back from you soon ;)
Yes, but who remembers Lisp? Whenever anybody mentions live coding and debugging, they immediately think of Smalltalk. Why? Because Smalltalk's implementation is memorable. Smalltalk's implementation is elegant. Lisp has always been rather clunky.

Originally php and the MySQL/postgresql libraries had no way to use placeholders so you had to use patterns that made it pretty hard to avoid sql injection. Which is why they had kludges like magic escaping, of course.
I think that's been clear to anyone without their head in the sand for a while now.

It's the same with iOS vs. Android. Early Android proponents did nothing but talk up the specs and the "customizability". The reality is, iPhones have always had such great hardware/software integration that they made using touch screens feel like you were interacting with the UI physically. You press a button, the phone almost immediately responded. A lot of this was the use of capacitive touch screen, but there was a lot more to it. It took years for Android to get close to this point, and I honestly think Apple still does it better.

Why do I need 4GB of RAM on my phone, when 1GB runs every app I want it to and gives me a lag free experience in the rest of the OS?

A site like Twitter or Facebook that has millions of users contributing content can edit the feed to convey a particular message by only showing posts that fit. Just like an author who chooses particular quotes that fit an article, but on a larger scale, and the "article" is now made only of quotes.

IOW, the message can be crafted by the platform even if the words are provided by the users.

How would that work? I seem to recall that I didn't even declare my major until sophomore year (MIT). And even considered changing majors (Mech E to EECS) much later than that.

I don't know that putting a loan officer or a lender approval panel into the mix of a college kid struggling to choose a major is a great idea.
And I think that's fair. Decreasing would be way too risky.
All reasonable views, but I don't think that's a Telegram given their track record. At this point I'd put more trust in a transport-encrypted-without-end-to-end messenger than Telegram, and there are plenty of good options in that space (e.g. Discord, or hell, AIM). And if you want genuine security there are good decentralised options: XMPP (Conversations et al), Riot/Matrix, possibly Wire.

In the Volume 3, it is said that:

"In protected mode, the IA-32 architecture provides a normal physical address space of 4 GBytes (2 32 bytes). This
is the address space that the processor can address on its address bus. This address space is flat (unsegmented),
with addresses ranging continuously from 0 to FFFFFFFFH. This physical address space can be mapped to read-
write memory, read-only memory, and memory mapped I/O. The memory mapping facilities described in this
chapter can be used to divide this physical memory up into segments and/or pages."

It correlates to my experience of developing in protected mode in QEMU. Once entered protected mode, I can access to any address above 0x10000 without being wrapped around. When I was writing my first kernel (https://github.com/tuhdo/os-study) in real-mode, indeed A20 must be enabled.

I largely agree with both your observations and opinions.

The comment was in response to a lot of "citizens first, immigrants only if they don't hurt our current citizens at all" arguments here. By proposing that visas may be, or at least could be, a form of foreign policy I believe helps to dispute that point in general, highlighting higher goals than plugging talent shortages that may or may not exist.

tldr: "The new technique relies on code that instructs browsers to perform a variety of tasks. Those tasks, in turn, draw on operating-system and hardware resources—including graphics cards, multiple CPU cores, audio cards, and installed fonts—that are slightly different for each computer. For instance, the cross-browser fingerprinting carries out 20 carefully selected tasks that use the WebGL standard for rendering 3D graphics in browsers. In all, 36 new features work independent of a specific browser."

Hey thanks for the thoughtful answers! The back end is written with Electron, so I have access to plenty of libs on NPM. I was thinking of utilizing libgit2 with some popular thin wrapper out there and giving it a shot and testing it. If it doesn't work out, I'll check out the other SCM systems as well.

Git is appealing to me personally because it's just so ubiquitous and there are plenty of free services out there to use.
