Thanks for the info!. I will try again.
But as a consumer, you _do_ give a fuck!

Making the wrong consumer choice here matters, because it can take you from a good, functioning PC to one that works far less effectively.

You're right in that you shouldn't have to give a fuck, that they should all - in support terms - be drop in replacements allowing you to balance up cost vs. performance, but the Linux team have tried awfully hard to make it that way without being able to reach a compromise with GPU producers.

In the meantime, Linux gives you a choice of external GPUs at varying levels of freedom and support. That's more than nvidia gives you.
Used WPF for a while many years ago (so I'm not up to date on the latest), but I was frustrated by so many oddities and gotchas innate to the system. There were some great demos that made me think I had a handle on how it worked, but then I immediately hit a wall trying to implement a real product. If it weren't for Stack Overflow, and all the people asking the same WPF WTF questions I had, I would have never had achieved any success.
This works with a 20 user room.

Try it again with 1000+ user rooms, or even 8000+ user rooms.

The worst case I'm currently trying to support is a bridge for a game's chat system with 18'000 users in one channel (and users still expect the client to connect in 4 seconds on mobile, and be stable).

And without a custom binary protocol and lazy sync, Matrix will not support that. True, it's also at the upper limits of the Quassel protocol for now, but Matrix is even further off for now.

That said, as I mentioned above, if Matrix someday gets full support for a good binary protocol and real clients, it might truly replace IRC.
Skylake has up to 224 instructions in flight [1], apparently on multiple branches. This compares to your 3 instruction example.

I think it's a valid question whether this doesn't imply we get more than 1 instruction/cycle, even for code that isn't hand-optimized (i.e. just usual code optimized by the compiler), assuming that the work load isn't data-memory bound.

Akka.NET 1.2 release
Personally, I've grown very fond of ReactiveUI (https://github.com/reactiveui/ReactiveUI) over the time I've been using it. While the learning curve upfront is rather steep, I think it's absolutely worth it.

Note that this is a wiki article, and that section in particular hasn't been updated in quite a while. Other parts of the article are talking about recent significant speedups in the OpenCL renderer so it makes me wonder how much they've closed the gap with CUDA on NVIDIA hardware.

I would test myself but don't have an NVIDIA card handy.
Ok, thank you.

That is called ambition. Its why we are at the top of the food chain.

I'd put up with annoying ads if I knew they weren't tracking every click and mouse movement.

That data will soon enough be used to determine things like interest rates and hiring (already is in China).

I can deal with stupid ads and have done for decades reading print journalism. Unless they're animated, modal or otherwise unnaturally annoying.

That is exactly the reason why I haven't bought a license yet. I consider the license an investment in Sublime's future. Since I don't have to pay, buying a license is more of a donation in order to show support. But the communication seems a bit too sparse/erratic for me to have much trust in this project. The time spans between updates, blog posts, or even tweets are simply way too long.

I also consider the existence of http://docs.sublimetext.info a bad sign. The way I perceive this: At some point, an enthusiastic user was so fed up with the sub-par documentation that they decided to take matters into their own hands, and create a better documentation. But instead of working with the community, the Sublime project people/person just... did nothing? Was there any communication? I don't know. Why not provide the documentation on github and accept PRs? The Sublime project should push for docs.sublimetext.info to be merged into the official documentation.

Same with https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues. Why is the bug tracker "community run"? What does that even mean, considering the "community" can't fix any bugs? I absolutely cannot understand why the author of the software doesn't seem to participate at all in the bug tracker. Here's a quote from https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues/594 (from 2014, so I don't know whether it is still true)
> Unfortunately, the only thing I can say is it'll get fixed if Jon Skinner sees it as a big enough priority. Our intent in creating this unofficial Issues page was to have a curated place where known issues can be collected together and triaged, and he can use it as he sees fit to fix bugs in upcoming releases. Without a more direct feedback mechanism, this is the best we can do, at the moment.

What I'd also like to see is a road map for the future with regular (2-4 weeks) status updates.
Consider what happens if an attack is detected after an election:

As HN readers know, even if you know your systems have been penetrated it can be very difficult to detect the extent of the damage: Which records have been changed? Deleted? Added? And what authority decides? We can expect that every party will produce experts who make claims in their parties' interests.

Probably, we wouldn't know the accurate election results. What then? Rerun the election?

* Is there a legal provision for that? What authority gets to decide that the democratic will of the people, the ultimate authority, is invalid and should be tested again? That is a very dangerous path to go down.

* If the results change, you can imagine the response from the new losers and their supporters.

* Who is to say the second election is valid? If the same machines are used, will the public trust them? Is there time to create a new national election infrastructure?

Reporting a possible attack to the public could destabilize democracy and have no real resolution. As has been reported, intelligence agencies such as the Russian FSB may be more interested in destabilizing things than in a particular result. They could even purposely leave evidence of an attack, without carrying through with it (and of course hiding the true perpetrators).

Based on that reasoning, it is absolutely essential that we prevent attacks. My very strong opinion is that a purely paper election is the only solution.
I can't imagine anybody is surprised a telco would follow that playbook.

The fact that step 2 actually worked – while not surprising in the current political environment of corruption – is still abominable.

I'd venture to say most certifications in general are junk, CYA processes. If you are basing your hiring decision on the letters someone puts after their name, you're doing it wrong.

The same could probably be said for a degree, particularly with the current snowflake "everyone must pass" mentality at so many schools.

Certifications and degrees are nice, but neither guarantees a person is competent in any field.
You're overestimating the effects of your whining. It's definitely not the reason Apple brought out an update about the Mac Pro; you are never going to buy one anyway. The reason they had an update was that they couldn't deliver the upgrades they need.

It also won't be a reason to abandon the Touch Bar because despite the vocal minority of whiners it is selling like hot cakes and more importantly it's a way Apple can differentiate its laptops from other manufacturers.

Ultimately money talks and bullshit walks.

I feel this way about certifications in general. I work with tons of Microsoft and Cisco certified people and the basic computer science errors they make has be doubting the value of those certifications.
You're implying OpenCL being broken somehow.

Is it broken in any way?
It may be a functionality you can integrate in your applications such as Corporate collateral.
The "This happens in the US too" comments are an annoying pointless digression.

Just like in the Wikileaks threads when people go on about the abuses in other countries, and how unfair it is that JUST America's/ the DNC's/ the CIA/ the NAS's dirty laundry gets aired.

Repression and abuses of power should concern us all. One evil does not negate an other.
At most big companies with a formal title ladder, this is an explicit criteria for being a "senior" engineer.

Recently I had a user ask for better support for large channels, in the IRC client I contribute to sometimes.

What is large, you might ask? 18'000 users in a channel.

And still it should feel and be as easily usable as a channel with 10 users, even via dialup.

That's the point where every byte that isn't used optimally becomes a problem. And where HTTP2 eith gzip or even brotli just isn't enough.

Where Java's IO is too slow, and you need to use the new native noncopying IO subsystem.

But I'll also be happy if, someday, we'll have a truly universal protocol for this.
When I started with Google ads, Google was classier than other ad networks. Other ad networks were stuffed with free ringtones, sketchy supplements and other scams.

Then at some point Google gave me the option to opt out of various objectionable topics and soon Google ads got as bad as the others. Maybe Google bought the bad ad networks, or partnered with them or something.

Quite a bit of subtext is largely unexamined. AT&T and Verizon, two of the biggest advertisers, have pulled out from YouTube. AT&T is the biggest pay TV provider in the US now (DirecTV) and Verizon wishes you would watch Go90 so they could sell ads against it. Both of them benefit if ad spend goes elsewhere than YouTube.
I'm curious: could you explain briefly why tabs are so difficult? I would think that every tab could have its own process space for its own shell, but obviously there's something big I'm missing here.

If this is more than could be enumerated in an HN comment, I'd love to have a blog post about it. This stuff is fascinating.

AK can go from no symptoms to significant risk to lose eyesight in less than 12 hours, and you can absolutely get it even when following suggested procedures.

A friend of mine got it just a month ago, and luckily he got it diagnosed correctly right away. He woke up in the morning with no issue, and by the evening he was in the emergency room. A quick diagnosis saved his eyesight despite the very aggressive onset, the fastest the doctor treating him had ever seen.

Maybe AK is silently established in the eye sometimes, and an abrasion or some other factor allows it to take hold in the cornea? My friend was soldering with bad ventilation and he probably got plenty of microscopic resin particles in his eyes, which might have caused abrasions? His AK took hold right on the edge under the contacts.
Brazil had some events like this but all of them were façades. They are designed to validate the decision to deploy electronic voting machines and nothing else so only a carefully selected group of people will be invited, there will an impossible time limit and machines should be handled like black boxes (they were not considering some group stealing a voting machine in order to study it).

At one particular event[1] an engineer detected RF noise leaking from the keyboard (Van Eck Phreaking) but the government dismissed it as not being a practical attack. In a country where politicians literally buy votes in poor regions, vote secrecy is a big concern.

Yeah, PC laptops have much better touchpads than they used to and even often use better materials than plastic. That while still offering often far better connectivity and repairability and better prices. I'm sure Apple can remain competitive but it may take a more aggressive trajectory and more innovative features than watching this happen and introduce a touch bar for shortcut keys as response.

Google keeps coming up with ways to use machine learning to do autofills, suggestions, etc.
A month ago Allo [0], then that article in Verge about computational photography [1], then cameras without lenses [2] and now this. There is no question that this is all very powerful and awesome, but it also raises some questions, like who is the creator of a photo / drawing? Is every photo / drawing going to look the same in the future?

Here is an illustration of what I am concerned about:

My wife downloaded google "Allo" (Yet another chat app where you can change font size. Innovative, I know.). It also happens to suggest answers so you don't have to type as much.

Here is how it went:

She: Hi!
Me: Hi how r u
She: Where r u
She: Where r u now?
She: At home?
She: Working?
She: I missed u
Me: Working
Me: Missed u too
Me: What u doing?
She: How are u?
Me: Fine thank u
Me: What about u?
Me: What are u doing?
Me: Can i see u?
She: Working
Me: Oh
She: Yes
Me: Where r u from?
Me: Who are u?

And it kept on going for a long long time, none of us actually saying anything real, but both of us learning a lot about what looks like an average socially awkward American teenager conversation.
It had love, beauty, cuteness, gifs, it even made us add some daily love quote bot to our thread, but we never actually typed anything ourselves because it was so easy not to.
Of course we both knew it and thought that it's funny, but I can't shake this weird feeling
that something is very wrong with this and that in the long term we are being brainwashed to be a dumber, more superficial version of ourselves.

p.s. I never use "r u", I find it lazy.

I can't believe this is not a medium post.
I think soon that this sentiment will start to apply to Universities. It seems inevitable at some point in the near future there will be an online 'university' (for lack of a better word) who's graduates will be considered equal or even better than a standard university education, particularly for tech related degrees.

Universities have been a centralized source of accreditation for a long time. All it takes is for someone to figure out how to restrict graduation and filter good candidates using testing or some other means to gain accreditation and acceptance of its graduates by industry.
How I left my consulting career behind and broke into tech
The run-time cost of C++ abstractions is also NOT what I was talking about.

I was talking about how C++ requires more communication with your team, because some "abstraction" features you might not want (RAII, RTTI, polymorphic dispatch, templates, exceptions) are a lot more easy to introduce than with C.
I don't disagree that its a feeling not limited to rural republicans but they are the ones I see voting in direct conflicts with their best interest. I don't buy that its because they're voting for their "future rich self" but rather that they're voting to keep other people beneath them.
I do everything you do, but recently I have added one more habit thanks to Opera's beautifully easy VPN: I google search on Opera using their VPN.
Although WeChat has less users than Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, WeChat is lightyears ahead of what the west can offer , in terms of product. It has many many useful features and is smooth, reliable. Even WhatsApp and Messenger are copying WeChat. One of the examples is WeChat payment. You can send money to any contact as a text message.
(Not a doctor, just read some papers before doing my PRK)

SMILE is new but insanely expensive, though it's the only procedure you can do if you need high correction.

LASIK you flap up the epithelial cells and part of your cornea, and then the laser comes in and ablates the inside of your cornea and you put it back on. If you need high correction, you need more depth of ablation. Since you "lost" some of your cornea because of the flap in terms of depth that can be ablated, for medium to high correction, it is not possible. I think if you have -5 or so it starts getting dicey.

PRK you don't have the flap, they just rub off the epithelial cells so you have the entire cornea to ablate if you want. I think this also starts getting dicey with really high ablation depth, obviously. If you have like -12, the doctor will not even think about PRK.

SMILE you actually pop in a high diffraction, engineered lens in, which can be used to achieve a ludicrously high correction, at the cost of well, cost, and maybe more uncertain long term prognosis?
I dislike people who claim it's not in a respondent's self-interest to do this; that it's somehow irrational. Status is relative - as the old saying goes, it is better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven.

I know this opinion is not going to be popular, but here it goes: by running a Tor exit, you're letting anonymous people do whatever they want in your behalf, because the exit IP address relates their activities to you. I believe it's irresponsible to do so. This kind of stuff is going to happen.

I also don't believe the "an IP address doesn't identify a person" mantra that's so widely used in the privacy-aware circles. Your ISP gives you an IP address for yourself, and if you let others use it, you know you can get yourself in trouble, the same you'd get yourself in trouble if you let anybody who asked you use a rifle of yours, or a car. Would you let someone you don't know at all drive your car? What if he runs over someone? Would you be responsible of it for letting him use your car? Would you risk going to prison?

The alternative is worse: I could be looking at pedophilia or terrorism sites all day and if they catch me say "well I also run a Tor exit node so how do you prove it was me!". Your IP identifies you, so be responsible!
I do realize that the post talked about how real time communication must be avoided. But there are still projects that prefer real time communication and use slack for that. Matrix is a good alternative, and I pointed that out.

This is in no way a disagreement with the author.
I have one eye. It's worse than 2d because you pay more, and have to wear ill fitting, uncomfortable glasses which obstruct the movie both with the frames and the lens. The glasses don't make it 3D for me, they just mean it's not blurry (mostly). And after all that I still get the privilege of a headache partway through the movie.

No 3d for me, thanks!

It buys you a proper modern language that even the creator of Javascript praises. It prevents bugs because it's a better language than Javascript in many ways. Just write a few projects in it and you'll see for yourself.

Functions in Coffeescript:
->
=>

Functions in Javascript:

var myFunc = function(){};
function myFunc(){}
var myFunc = () => {};
in objects:
myFunc: function(){}
in classes:
myFunc(){}

Inconsistency in code is a recipe for bugs.
A category for task management or project management would be good.
It is not some powerless hackers/individuals who claimed machines are hackable. These claims are made by powerful political parties with resources, government in various states and large cadre etc.

So your points are not applicable in this case. Hacking machines should be much easily provable than random generic political charges like 'govt/politicians are corrupt' or officialdom is lazy etc.
Very interesting quote. That statement underlines an important point: Witch hunts are commited by people who are convinced that their reaction is justified. Then, it was because that evil witch had cursed your cousin, now it is perhaps because someone made a joke you didn't get[1].

And obviously, no single person holding the digital pitchforks would ever think of themselves doing the same thing as a superstitious peasant a couple hundred years ago.

Is there something productive anyone could do in this regard? I would guess in the most cases, the trenches are almost instantly dug way too deep for a sensible discussion...

That's true, although I have had a bunch of problems (mostly related to not being on kernel 4.9 yet, so kinda my fault?). I guess what I really should have said is that I want is the combination of good graphics performance with good Linux support. Iris is definitely a step up from Intel's past performance, but it's still not good.
Are those Google Ads though? Google is indeed a dominant player in the advertising market, but they're not the only one. You could be seeing ads from a different ad network.
