Have an i5 SP4. It's still solid, I'm still impressed with it. I can't fathom buying an SP5 because I can't see anywhere they'd improve it much.

Unless they add an LTE option. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
As a fan of series, I can say that you've achieved missile-lock on my fantasy taste; I would further that recommendation to anyone else reading this who like WoT.

Looking at the picture of the braille display and seeing the comments on how expensive they are makes me wonder: is there a more general-purpose larger display that simply provides a large grid of raised/raisable bumps along those lines?

I can't imagine that the mechanical aspects would be that complex if the bump size was large enough, and even 4 "colors"/heights might be feasible (flat, low, medium, high). The electronics seem like they'd be almost trivial, and I'd imagine that it wouldn't be difficult to incorporate some level of touch/pressure sensitivity, possibly with detection of pressure down on an actuator holding a pin up.

Heck, if individual of perhaps 16x16 could be made then a "grid" of those could provide quite a possible display capability.
This is super awesome! I soo need this. Drafting with a structure is a part I often skip when trying to write something, which is why writing has become quite hard. I should stop doing it. But your idea is great, looking forward to seeing it in action!

Maybe I'm wrong, but the whole point of this case is to prove this. I would find a more impartial adjudicator to take more of a "the motives contradict with the allegations of theft" view.

To outright say that the theft occurs before an official judgement was made seems in poor taste for, well, a judge.
Exactly. Although I don't think work in the car would be the same quality - if you use that time to handle emails it could be a big boost to get most emails addressed before you get to the office. I live about 12 miles from my office and going to the office removes about 1.5-2 hrs per day. Getting ready, 30 mins each way. I try to schedule phone calls for my commute but I don't always have calls to handle. I've worked with people with families who commuted 1.5 hrs each way every day. So yes, self-driving cars would impact a lot of people in a positive way if they optimize their workflow.
They're also used for low-volume prototyping or short-run manufacturing, not just high-volume manufacturing. They're especially useful for placing high-density components; it's not exactly easy to assemble a PCB with BGAs by hand.
I think open-source drivers are a net good, but proprietary drivers are a pain because of ABI instability more than anything else. Linux could improve on this. I get why they don't, and I don't have an opinion positive or negative on their stance because I don't use desktop Linux anymore--but this is not just a driver-vendor thing.
Could you sent that list to me? :) You have no email in your profile, so maybe you could send it to me at the email in my profile?
Of course it's all anecdotal but I never ever had any issue coming back to UK. We travel frequently to Europe and Asia.

Also I just can't get over the fact that you have to handover your unlocked phone.
I've been reading Bunny's "The Hardware Hacker" and it does make me want to visit.

What I find particularly fascinating is that it provides powerful evidence that 'open' is innovative and 'closed' is stifling.

Early on in the tech business everything was 'open'. The IBM PC published the source code to the BIOS in its technical manual, Intel and Motorola documented all of the options on their chips and how to program them, early programmable logic (PALs and PLDs) were easy to program with available documentation.

As a result lots of people built a wide variety of devices and systems using those parts, and that supported (in the Bay Area at least) dozens of circuit board houses, small run manufacturers, fastener companies, assembly houses, and parts distributors.

Starting with 3D accelerator chips, documentation became locked up behind NDA walls, access to small quantities was nearly impossible, and it became harder and harder to build something out of off the shelf parts. Designers and inventors were held back, their reduced demand for services put pressure on the rest of the ecosystem and the vibrant economy around building hardware crashed and burned. The biggest loss was perhaps the small boutique chip houses that made interesting parts with a bit of this and a bit of that.

Reading Bunny's book and the economist's article it seems that a combination of "Gongkai" and many different small factories has created this environment in Shenzen. That is a good thing and bodes well for the future growth of the area (assuming it isn't crushed by the powers that be). I'd love to figure out how to rekindle that here in the Bay Area.
If a footprint to produce reactor grade Uranium already exists, it could mask the footprint for something else. It might be easier to deplete a small percentage of Pu240, than to enrich reactor grade Uranium (4% U235) to a highly enriched form (90% U235). How would the volatility of Pu240 effect separation? Not sure.
100% "...no magic word to get the sale" I love it! Sounds like something that should be the first lesson in a sales course.

I would also add that on the dark side a predatory empathy and penchant for exaggeration and fabrication can sell poison to a sick grandma, and Ponzi schemes to retirees and horrible things like that.
As long as Facebook adds the Stories feature in the free version of its Slack Killer, I'm fine!
Not bad man, although I have to wonder what you'd have made if you never gave your number ;)

Luckily they gave 3 numbers first, so you avoided a trap many people fall into on both sides of the table - not negotiating at all.

Imagine the first thing a company says after an interview is "what's your number" and you shrug and say "100," and the company reps blink and go "no problem," then pass you an offer. Wouldn't you feel a little skeeved? "I bet I could've gotten more," you'd think. You'd be right. Companies can feel that same feeling.

A bit of back and forth is healthy. It makes both parties feel like they struggled and finally settled on a number that is fair for both (whether or not that number could have been higher or lower). That's why I always recommended bootcamp grads to push back on an initial offer. Always. Worse case the company says "no, this is the limit." Best case, you get more money, the company feels like you were a little bit harder to get and thus more valuable, etc.

In addition to what everyone else here has mentioned, note that this case is not against Levandowski. Google is suing Uber, and even if Alsup thinks that Levandowski is guilty as sin, this won't send him to jail or even render a civil judgment against him.
When you demand that your people bow and obey, and imprison people like A1 WW, this goes against promoting and nurturing innovation

Although the Japanese were not imprisoning people "like A1 WW", they were bowing and obeying when they ushered the era of consumer electronics a few decades ago. Now it's the turn of the Chinese.
You're jumping to conclusions by assuming that a federal judge is jumping to conclusions. If you read that and the first thing you think is "that judge can't judge!", that's not good.

Anyways, the judge has made is very clear that the evidence against them is very strong, that the record is very strong, and that so far neither Uber nor Levandowski have denied that he stole the 14 000 documents.
> There are no legitimate reasons for them to be, only sad excuses.

Are you an IP lawyer? I'm not, but I work with people who are, and they would disagree with you rather strongly with regard to certain cases and certain fields. It's pretty presumptuous to tell people what legal risks they should expose themselves to (and to forestall the tired and obvious, it's great that Intel thinks that they're OK and can open their stuff--but I sure get why others aren't so cavalier).
Could you clue us in to your insight?
I figured ;) Good article.
Morals are nice, but if you're being underpaid purely based on your previous salary vs actual worth, then it doesn't do you much good except to feel good.
The Joker explained it well. People are not afraid of violence, we habituate to it very easily and it's everywhere. They are afraid of unpredictable violence.

That homeless guy is going to die of hypothermia from being out in the rain? Makes sense. He should try to get out of the rain.

Thousands of women are killed by their ex-boyfriends every year? Makes sense, some guys are crazy. Good thing I don't date guys like that.

Someone might bring a gun into Starbucks and shoot random people? Good lord what is the world coming to! Take all the guns away! Islam! It's those creepy loners again!
Probably the information should be used as an allegorical example, rather than a "huh I can make 220 in NY" example.

It is very easy to lie on the internet. I try to hedge my bets on this website by essentially doxxing myself on my profile, but not everyone is willing to do that (nor should they necessarily be expected to).
> Fact checking is one tool. Good thinking is another. The list is big and we need every single one of those things to stave off this pandemic.

Which pandemic are you referring to exactly? Fake news, deceptive reporting, gossip, libel, propaganda has existed pretty much as long as authority has existed. Now recently Trump became president and there is a national pandemic and no doubt we should place our trust in certain institutions to help combat this disease. If this isn't Orwelesque I don't know what is...
It was a track runner with three parallel tracks, "bombs" and "coins" approached you, making sounds either in front of you, to your left and right. Your job was to avoid bombs and get coins.

Pretty simple "action" game for the visually impaired. The joke is that we spent an absurd portion of the time on the visualization. The justification was that it would also have appeal for the sighted.

I'm neither a lawyer nor a judge, but I'm just wondering if this is a typical type of thing to assert during a judgement. It just jumped out as impartial to me.
Not true. This is often included the questions asked by background check companies when they confirm previous employers. Its up to the previous employers whether they provide that information. I have seen both (ie company refuses, company provides) in my own background checks.

... so you probably want to think twice about outright lying. There are many ways to avoid lying but still getting your point across. In most cases, employers will be scared off more by someone blatantly lying (which would also be cause for termination in most cases) than someone delivering a compelling case for why they are worth more than what they were previously paid.
I have been using a Surface Pro 4 for the last 6+ months.

Historically I have been a Linux on desktop person, since before RedHat knew what enterprise was.

Professionally I work in Linux server environments all day all night.

I went in to my Surface purchase assuming I would be putting Linux on it, but fell in love with it out of the box. The form factor is immediately comfortable to use and Windows 10 is a pleasant environment.

My workflow has changed to accommodate developing on Windows (hello Vagrant!) but outside of that I've never been happier on a desktop. Having an Ubuntu bash console available on Windows was the best thing Microsoft could have done to reel people like me in to their ecosystem.

Get yourself a Surface, a dock and a couple 30" monitors to plug in and Bob's your uncle.
I understand differently. Foursquare is not buying anything from Snap, they are selling their map technology. Pinterest and other companies are buying as well.

Thus, they sell a service and receive money and data from the users of those applications. I read other articles before telling how the information in their maps and APIs are impressive and the fact that you could use for free, if you are a small company, is a great deal. But, they are still not as valuable as they were before and they greatly depend on large companies. It makes me think that they are a great target to be acquired before becoming a unicorn.

It is quite clear that snap will bet heavily on AR and location. They have launched Spectacles and now a new way to discover content using location options. How long will they pay Foursquare to profit from their own data? Why do they not build a proprietary location technology or acquire another company that has?
One Size Does Not Fit All
Schrödinger on “What is life?” (1944)
Well, to the extent that a programme such as this will increase supply, you could argue that it's currently kept artificially low because of the costs of education in some countries.

I don't think that is quite the situation we are in though. Computer programming is an unusually easy industry to enter. I didn't study computer science, only started working as a developer much later and my experience is that potential employers and definitely clients if you're freelancing care very little about _how_ you learned it, they just want to know _what_ you can do. A portfolio is much more important than a diploma.

This is why i really take issue with this statement: "On the other hand, most people don't have the superhuman willpower to learn alone from home watching videos online for 8 hours a day during a year."

If learning programming entails you watching videos 8 hours a day for a year, I submit you are have chosen the wrong profession. You will be competing for jobs with people who love coding, people that it would require a "superhuman" effort to _keep_ from programming.

Anyone with a real interest and access to a computer with internet, can _easily_ learn to program. Not so much by watching videos full-time, but by a combination of actually programming, reading tutorials and yes, watching some videos.

Then there are people who are not passionate about programming, people who are not naturals but just want a decent job. I suspect this programme is aimed at them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that of course, but it's unlikely that they will be competing for the $200k jobs in Valley startups.
Most of us on here are trained and work in disciplines that allow us the luxury of saying to every potential employer "nah, I don't give my number, sorry," and simply moving on to the next one out of a thousand potential opportunities.

This, I think, is going to be very good for the classes of people that don't have that luxury.
I completely agree and I've also seen the studies about retention rates of various types of learning. The confounder in my mind is that obviously all these studies were done since the advent of newer media options. I'm just wondering if we were able to redo the studies in people from long ago if there would be any difference at all? Possibly not, but it makes me wonder if there were, is there a way to train ourselves to learn better learn for lectures. Secondly, even if it is possible to be a better "lecture learner", is it even worth it (for example is there a ceiling effect?)

The instagram economy is booming and this is primarily a public service announcement about the incompleteness of the author's expose'

The only nugget I can reveal is that many users have bought into a social contract of rags to riches, "organic growth" from nothing, and just like real society, this is the least effective and time wasting set of rules to play by.
On rare occasions, dogs have been known to fly away into the sky. The proof is on the internet and easy to find. You just won't see it on the major websites. You need a lot of historical context and specific knowledge to truly understand it and see through the lies. I won't go into the context here because it would take too long, but you can easily research it yourself. Everything I've claimed is fact. Believe me, I said its fact.

If you can't find the information I'm talking about, its because big business and Obama removed it from the internet. This is a huge story and it would be all over the news if it weren't for leftists trying to hide the truth.
Whats the point of this? Aren't they similar because the Qu'ran, like the bible, is founded off the Torah (aka old testament)?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torah_in_Islam
Right, exactly. You're talking about hardware that lacks these features, which constrains part choice pretty severely.

Personally? I need x86, and I need pretty-fast. That shrinks choices to near-zero.
I can't see how two texts that differ by ~1500 years (in the case of the old testament and the q'uran) and ~500 (new testament and q'uran) can be such "similar texts".

Truth is, they aren't of course, and that if you weren't using (like they are doing in the site) relatively modern translations of the originals that bring the two texts a big together, it would be immediate to see which was which.

All in all and putting it simply, they were written in very different periods which means that they were written by very different people of very different cultures.
I too have struggled with the term "ride share", since it obviously isn't being used in the sense of "sharing is caring" we were all taught in kindergarten.

At some point I realized it means a share (in the economic sense) of a ride (the driver's car / time). As a rider, you are willing to pay for a portion of the driver's time and car mileage, and that's something you generally couldn't do before Uber/Lyft.

Sharing has connotations of kindness and altruism when this is really a transaction, so I like to avoid the term "ride sharing", but I feel "ride share" is accurate. As someone else posted nearby, there are plenty more substantive criticisms of Uber right now.
Or Google Slides - it has most of the benefits of PP or KN, but it's visible in realtime to anyone with a Google account (ok, everyone) while giving you notes and revision history.
> If you can afford a garbage collector, D easily wins over Rust.

This is the "the only point of the ownership/borrowing model is to avoid GC" myth that I've been working to kill. Rust's model also gets you data race freedom, to name just one other benefit.
I had the same feeling with that same series. I used to look forward to my 30 minute commute to/from work. I'd save the book for the commute and it would always be something to look forward to. Have you found any other books similar to that?
Beautiful and sorely needed! But how do you handle versioning (if at all), as a separate dimension of just like the "Google" vs "Facebook" versions?

In the interviews I've been to, it is not unusual to have them ask you how much you are expecting for a salary. I've thought about this before and I don't see a way to refuse to answer that question without breaking the flow and tone of the interview.

Do you recall any specific responses you've made to that question which allowed you to avoid answering it but still yielded positive results?
I enjoyed it, but disagreed with it, but I actually enjoy dancing (ballroom primarily).

The one I actually agreed with was the high heels one. Both my current and previous girlfriends insist on wearing heels most of the time, to the detriment of their health. My previous girlfriend could essentially not run anymore because of it, and the current girlfriend has chronic foot pain. I've banned (which is weird, I don't like saying that versus "asked", but I gave up on asking) her from wearing them on occasion because she needed to rest her feet/legs. Lasts about a week and then she's back in them. She's even had to go in for PT for a few weeks out of each year because of it.

My ex had grown so used to them that she pretty much always walked on tiptoes (like a kid toe-walking). She found flats and similar shoes very uncomfortable to wear anymore.

Who will fact-check the fact-checkers?
As a contract recruiter I can't imagine asking this during a reference check or employment verification. I'd have gotten fired so fast I'd still have the phone in my hand on the way out.
I cringe to hear "fact checking" used in reference to news articles. A "fact" is something that can be falsified with the evidence at hand. It's a fact that the temperature of this liquid is 72 degrees--you can measure it.

Then a different person comes along at noon, and the temperature is now 76 degrees. The 2nd person then starts a social media campaign against the 1st -- and wins because they had pictures and more followers.

D has been around longer, has powerful compile-time metaprogramming tools, and has a very fast compiler. However, it has a garbage collector, and is not entirely memory-safe by default (though is beginning to optionally incorporate some ideas from Rust [edit: or not], maybe making that easier once you put in the work). It seems to follow C or C++ in what sorts of things it makes language-level features.

Rust is newer (though being used in some big projects like Firefox/Servo, Visual Studio Code's search functionality now uses it by default, etc), has (afaiu) a more powerful type system, and is entirely memory-safe by default. However, this makes it somewhat harder to learn at first, and it also has a relatively slow compiler. It follows ML-style languages a bit more, with things like pattern matching and sum types built into the language.

Personally, I prefer Rust, because it feels like a stronger foundation with the ML-like type system and no GC. YMMV though, depending on what is important to you.
