Leaving aside the implementation difficulty, the answer to "what should the scaling be" seems obvious? Use the monitor scaling for the part shown on that monitor. The switch should happen on a monitor level, not on a window level.

* HEADLINE: Swift for desktop apps

* DESCRIPTION: Swift frameworks for Cocoa controls that allow development of desktop apps in a beautiful and consistent manner.

And while we're at it, give also Google a hand on porting Kotlin apps for the desktop too. There is nothing better for a platform than allowing developers to build modern and beautiful apps to push the platform even further.

- DESCRIPTION: the WLAN UI supports some OpenVPN options, but not all, and fails silently on importing non-compatible config files. This is very confusing for new Desktop users.

- HEADLINE: multi-column list view in nautilus

- DESCRIPTION: This view has been explicitly dropped (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/7081...) but is very useful for quickly navigating large directories. Alternatively, replace Nautilus with a file manager that can do this (like Nemo). This is one area where the Windows file manager is still much better.

- HEADLINE: polish file dialogs (multi-column-list view)

- DESCRIPTION: the default file-open and file-save dialogs lack many simple features that can save a lot of time. For example, in the file-open dialog there is no multi-column view (see above), you cannot rename files, you cannot create files/folders, you cannot access the normal context menu. All this requires separately opening a file manager, which also lacks a few productivity features (see above).

- HEADLINE: polish hotkeys and general window handling on multi-monitor setups

- DESCRIPTION: I needed a bunch of compiz plugins to make this work in a halfway decent way in a 2-monitor setup, and I dread the day I will have to re-shuffle this for a 3-monitor setup etc. Make it easy to move a window 1) from one monitor to the other, 2) resize and move to one of the corners/sides, 3) maximize it. Also, applications in full-screen mode on one of the monitors confuse my compiz-based setup (for example, a full-screen Chrome window on one monitor will introduce numerous UI issues).

Still, it's a great system and very nice to use overall.

Thanks for gathering feedback. That's the first step ;-)
Keep up the good work!

No, the MGU-H is incorrectly named. It gathers a bit of the turbo rotation to generate electricity (via induction) on high-speed regimes, and returns that electricity into the turbo when in acceleration (low speed regime).

It is not a thermo-electric exchange, it's just kinetic, the same way the electric brake energy recovery works.

Mainly I listen to jazz at work. It varies (as I type this I'm listening to John Fahey). I can't read and hear voices at the same time, so it's got to be something instrumental. My office isn't especially noisy, but voices in the hallway can be distracting. So the headphones help a bit.
>Domain specific just talking in statistics and data science. I don't need a webframe work I need to make my report and have the charts work. I also push out my reports in Word and PowerPoint and I can't do that in Python but I can in R with ReportR library (The whole reason why I left Python and Pandas and came to R)

If you are literally only doing that then you are a Data Analyst not a Data Scientist. A Data Analyst takes structured data and writes reports for business people. A Data Scientist structures unstructured data for Data Analysts. So if you are processing large amounts of untabled data (ex. images, text, video, etc) and categorizing or measuring it and storing those categorizations or measurements for future use, then you are a data scientist. But if you are taking these categorizations and measurements and making reports out of them then you are a data analyst.

>I don't need a webframe work I need to make my report and have the charts work.

Data Scientists write algorithms and so to make these algorithms available to other people you need some sort of way for them to use it, the simplest being to through an API endpoint in front of it where people can send their input and a data scientist responds with their output.

Also the article you cited from datasciencecentral reinforces exactly what I was saying.

And for the kdnuggets article I am disputing their only claim why they think R is better, that R makes it easier to zoom through 1000 variations of linear regression for your reports. If you write a report where every graph has a different variation of linear regression then your partners are not going to have any confidence in your results or that you know what you're doing. So say you are a good data analyst that knows which linear regression you are actually using, then you're not getting any of the benefits from R but still have all its limitations.

> You seem to have debunked your own comment.

Are you saying my comment is debunked because 2.4% is still a gender gap? If so, this is why I say it would be good for journalists to interview scientists: They'd help understanding the difficulty of depicting reality with statistics (see next paragraph). The article just shows raw, non-scientific statistics, spun with an inaccurate interpretation, instead of showing integrity by properly reporting scientific studies.

2.4% average means the gender gap is wider in some sectors, but also negative in other sectors. A 24% pay gap would make it likely that gender gap is wide in all sectors. This is entirely another story: The first one shows general despise on women; The second one shows a society where men reach good progress in integrating women despite some sectors that remain misogynist (and racist, probably). The title tries to spin the first one: Does it show integrity?

The article could, for example, list sectors where women are still badly considered, and show that there is progress in others. For example, if you only take the 150 large US cities, women's pay is usually 8% larger than men[2]. Surprising, isn't it? That hints that agricultural jobs or smaller cities are more misogynist, and other sectors are the opposite (favorable to women) – and that's when we start depicting a situation we can act upon.

I've only shown 2 facts in this comment; Hundreds could be said about the single, short article I've brought to you. Although we could debate all day long, I'd rather expect journalists to show both sides of the story. That was supposed to be their job, wasn't it?

Of course it's easier to title an article "Women are paid less", because it doesn't depict the possible ways of taking action, but rather spreads outrage of both camps (feminists and equalitarians). Ignorance and outrage, of course, creates views and votes.

You didn't actually watch it land.
I agree, I usually update defaults so that python => python3. However, PEP has some guidance on how this should be handled[1].

I imagine Ubuntu (Debian, et al) is following these guidelines. It would be cool to have a push for those who still depend not only on Python2 but on `/usr/bin/python` being py2 to update their app - or at least update their packaging :)

Would the equivalent amount of DDR5 actually feel any different to DDR4 to the end user? It seems like hardware is getting better but basic software (web browser etc) is getting more complicated/bloated at the same rate, so things don't actually feel 10x faster than they did a few years ago.

It's probably not super popular to suggest that REST isn't the be-all and end-all when it comes to web APIs, but I'm interested in a future that lets us integrate with APIs more quickly and more safely. I'm interested to hear about what people think about the subject.

So, it's been a while since I tinkered with hardware, but I'm making the blind assumption that although the bus speed is twice as fast as DDR4, there is also twice the read latency, as has always been the case with DDR memory, meaning the net read latency improvement is basically nil.

Of course we expect every generation of Double Data Rate memory to double the data rate. But it's always been a bit misleading to say "twice as fast".

That's true, but I'd still root for a pissing contest between them. IIRC, SpaceX started out like this as well. They're like a decade ahead or so, but maybe Blue Origin can catch up faster with SpaceX having shown that it's possible and economically feasible. The more companies that can do this, the better off we all are.

Yes you can argue science is part of philosophy, all is. I don't disagree. But there's been a divergence of not in principle, in practice. Philosophy departments and science departments barely talk in my opinion. 50 years ago it was different I think. The copnehaguen school of quantum physics, Bohr and all those guys, read and engaged in philosophy. Nowadays feels like there's a real disconnect. Not long ago discussing with a philosophy professor he told me that "those ignorant monkeys at MIT think they know everything and it's just pseudoscience". There's an feeling of entrenching within philosophy and of disinterest within Science. Another example is those silly Lawrence Krauss feuds with philosophers over his book about "nothing". Science is so strange nowadays, we need a philosophical treatment to make sense of multiverses, inflation, quantum interpretations, etc. Maybe it's more my biased impression than reality, I would be happy to be pointed to work along these lines.

My dad always said he did his best thinking in his 40s. He said that he knew he wasnt as fast or as sharp, but still having a lot of that, plus a really good working model of the world by that point, left him with the best product of those factors.

It would be awesome if much more capital was assigned to the space industry. Imagine a whole ecosystem of space companies both competing and cooperating.
crowd out the market

Which market? To a pretty good approximation, most people live in exactly one property. If they own more, they rent out the surplus. (Please don't What-About-XYZ me with exceptional cases like billionaires who own multiple properties and let them stand empty. Yes, that happens, but is marginal.) So the owner/renter fraction doesn't as such directly change the amount of available property.

push up prices

Rental prices are largely determined by two three things: (1) salary levels of the tenants, (2) what fraction of their salary tenants are willing to spend on their dwelling, and (3) supply/demand of housing. I doubt (1, 2) have changed all that much. The main problem in London is (3) because a lot more people moved to London that new housing was built.

Neither have all that much to do with buying vs renting.
Apologies if I wasn't clear. When I said the "extreme case" I meant some kind of future scenario where rocket launches operate similarly to commercial aircraft flights (doing launching and landing to fixed infrastructure, minimal refurbishment and operations between flights, hundreds of launches per core, etc). So, the '99%' savings wasn't intended to be anything approximating where we are now, but more like the limits of the possible cost savings if everything else is nearly perfect.

As I mentioned, I think _today_ SpaceX is saving about 30% per launch by doing reusability (which, in my mind translates to ~20M). So I actually think we're probably in good agreement.
It's a nice marketing stunt -- not meant to be perjorative, I hope it inspires more innovation in this space. But I find it ironic that a plugin that purports to make it harder to track you has google analytics.

Agree with everything you say and it started a web search on Wikipedia.
First off, does he have to provide evidence for his claims? From wikipedia on burden of proof, the burden of proof falls on the challenger of the status quo. Yes, to us the status quo is aliens don't abduct people, but living in Roswell during the 1970s the status quo could of been aliens have abducted everyone. Point is status quo changes depending on social and temporal setting.

So how can we demand evidence on anything other than a consensus of our social setting?

He has the argument of ignorance as we in this discussion do not have the means to proof he wasn't abducted by aliens. Now I accept that the argument of ignorance is a fallacy but I'm new to philosophy and am still working on understanding why it is a fallacy, other than just accepting it as a rule.

+1. I recently got an Dell XPS 13 and hooked it up to my external monitor (4K). Icons were way too small so I adjusted those and standard text size. But getting applications (e.g. PyCharm) to run at a reasonable size was frustrating (I had to google it and then modify some configuration file somewhere). With OS X, which I just came from, the external monitor "just worked" when I plugged it into my Macbook Pro.

+1 -- This is the one and only problem I have to regularly help my non-technical Ubuntu friends (and their friends) with. Every few months they cannot install updates anymore because their /boot fills up and apt fails to install a new kernel package.

The simplest fix would probably be to make /boot large enough by default (in the order of 10GB or 20GB or so -- the current size is 512MB IIRC).

A better fix would be to purge old unused kernels automatically but as far as I understand there were some difficult edge cases around that.

Do things play out that way though? Every time you raise prices, fewer people use it, resulting in requiring another price increase. Demand for public transit is actually pretty price-sensitive. Look at what's currently going on with the New York subway system, for instance.

Now, consider the case where the current prices could actually cover costs if utilization was high enough. (I don't know if that's true for BART, but it's certainly possible for a public transit system.) Wouldn't it make much more sense to increase ridership than prices?

This strategy is hardly unique to publicly-funded projects. Lots of businesses sell a new product at a loss, expecting to grow their sales of it until they can use economies of scale to make the product profitable.

A policy of naively basing prices solely on recent demand and current costs misses a lot of possibilities. It's very worth considering how increased demand changes economies and pricing with a long-term plan in mind.
Dogfooding, I guess :D.
Again, I believe your opinions on this matter absolutely reinforce the analogy.

Some people can figure it out and others cannot. The embarrassment and offense are very much a part of that issue as well as the imposter syndrome that is so obvious in so many developers.
