I think "near-extinction" might be hard to credit - humans have survived tough times before - but I also don't think a mere "horrible catastrophe" sounds like a reasonable price to pay for the recent century and a half of rapid progress either.
I got my X230 for £168 a year or so ago (i5-3320M, 4GB, 320GB, I shortly added a 256GB mSATA SSD for ~£50), the same place is currently selling T430 and T520 for the same price. I got an X61 a couple of years before that for £65.

You just have to find a decent refurb or recycling shop (i.e. those that take and resell ex-corporate stock); I imagine you've got an even wider choice in the US.
The Thinkpad W520 is the last workstation version with the better keyboard and the speed to feel comparable to current laptops, and is what I currently use. You can find these for around $300-400 on eBay for 16GB of memory and a SSD drive. Lower if you choose to upgrade those features later. The main drawback is that the W520, and its heftier AC adapter, is heavy.

The question is how much battery life do you want. I get around 3 hours with an older battery. I can push out more with different settings.

The Thinkpad T520 is probably an option with better battery life, but I have no experience with it. It's likely also significantly lighter since I don't think it requires the larger AC adapter. I'd try the T520 if I wanted something more portable.

I'm currently running Ubuntu 14.04 and run Windows in a virtualbox with no issues. I've used this machine since 2015. I don't notice a performance difference between this and my older desktop (2010-ish, 16gb, i7) running Ubuntu 16.04.

Edited to add: If anyone from Lenovo sees this thread, I'm snap upgrading if the Thinkpad "retro" is released.

This seems extraordinarily unlikely.
Many years ago, my father told me the story/joke of how the US-based marketing department at Mitsubishi had mis-heard the proposed name for the follow up to the "Colt" on a phone call from Japan.

Based on the horse theme, it seemed fairly legit. Turns out, there might even be some truth in the "Stallion" that never was!

Phhhht. It's funny how you allow yourself the only authoritative 'understanding' of this thread, and accuse me of 'convenient' shifting interpretation, but all while refusing to quote anything that's was actually said.

You've said your piece, and it's a cop-out in any context. Guess it saves face.
I've always tried to reconcile notebook taking with digital notes and this sounds like a great reason to use both. I have a bad habit of taking notes in meetings and then forgetting about them.

I think you are missing part of the cost. It's not just the bandwidth that would need to scale to support that much traffic.
Don't know if it's relevant, but that screenshot is from macOS, not Windows.

Anecdotally: I am currently running VSCode and Task Manager reports 19,8 MB of memory usage right now (vscode Window being idle, with 6 files opened on Win10)
Ah yes! @OP, if you buy a second hand ThinkPad, buy a 'p' version (T43p, T60p). Those have the high-res UXGA screen, which has almost as much pixels as full HD, just another dimension. But watch out, there are different versions made of the P ThinkPads. Some have the UXGA screen, others the SXGA+ with 1400x1050 which you don't want.
For their pretty graphic it looks like Asia is the biggest offender. So why doesn't the UN slap sanctions on them until they comply with international standards.
Customers will only tolerate it for so long, think of it as an opportunity.
Still deserved, also for the comments they made afterwards.

At least pretend, and say something like "this will not happen again".
A nit: even compared to some recent designs, SRP is pretty thoughtful about offline password cracking. It's not as expensive to crack as a real password hash, but far more expensive than other PAKEs.
you make a lot of assumptions.
My understanding was that they were expensive and without a price on carbon, no one has an incentive to do it.

You don't actually even need to get it out of the atmosphere, you can retrofit power plants with carbon capture tech that is more efficient, but still, there is no incentive.
Definitely not dead. Actively developed and worked on. The release schedule has continued with an unbroken chain of monthly stable releases, while v1 platform was sunset with loads of advance warning time.

I'm hoping the monthly "Town-Hall" style Zoom meetings will continue, but if so I will also expect them to likely start getting much larger quickly, now with this news.

It's good to know why Genan Shiranui disappeared after the first game. He was my favourite character. I felt so much nostalgia reading this interview.
> Those other tools have a tendency to get ignored...

That's basically my point. Managers should home their craft and improve their tools instead of molding the people around them to meet the needs of middle management.
Doubtful. I'd bet a lot of the people who can do this work wouldn't be interested in a whiteboard interview. If you're fishing in a small pond for people that can maintain your legacy code, there's going to be a lot less bullshit in the process.

Whiteboard interviews have their place, I'm sure. This isn't one of them.
Is that type of "future proofing" really worth it? Spending extra $400 today and using the computer until completely obsolete, instead of futile attempts to keep up part by part, seems cheaper and easier to me (unless your goal is to be able to play AAA games at max settings on release).

> I get into 'someone is wrong on the internet' discussions, and for me, those are the 'addictive but not pleasant' aspects of social media.

This is exacerbated by not having the luxury of taking cues from facial expressions, body language, smiles and the context of the situation. Moreover, f2f discussions are mostly real time and synchronous vs the social media ones being asynchronous, allowing people to pick up days old thread and continue the discussions, thus there is no end at all if one decides to weave the topic further.
I don't encounter any slowdown yet, it's 50% full. Maybe I will put a new SSD in this thing when I really need more storage for applications.
Future proof? People still say that? Nothing in computing is future proof as evidenced by the many different connector/socket types in just the last couple years.
In the long term we can at least attempt to counteract this by contributing to decentralized platforms such as Ethereum & Maidsafe, which create transparent decentralized systems in which this sort of censorship is not possible.
I assumed it was a reference to the five armed service branches, but I was wrong.
Yeah, the article hints at that (re: selling the memory chip business). Does the memory chip business include all chips or really just memory chips? (Probably can't​ expect this level of detail from a Bloomberg article.)

Deduplication went into NTFS on Windows Server in 2012.
In the strictest sense, no. But one difference, which might matter to some people, is that "ending it now" seems to imply actively killing people. Most people, I believe, would see that as inherently different from simply dying due to whatever interaction(s) happen with the natural environment around us.

All of that said, I'm not arguing against pursuing actions to protect the environment. Just pointing out that "preventing the extermination of the human race" really isn't a terribly good justification for doing so when you look at the big picture.

If you accept that premise, the question then becomes: "what are the good arguments for pursuing actions to protect the environment / reverse climate change?" That is, what arguments will persuade people to care about protecting the environment for future generations that don't exist yet, in a time beyond their own limited lifespan?
Am in my 30s doing a postdoc getting paid $50K. Can confirm. ;)

That said, I do enjoy doing research. It's frustrating working with researchers sometimes though. :P Sure, everyone push to master without testing, no problem! I'll just spend my afternoon making things compile again..
Tweeter and all others you mentioned are private corporations. Their goal is to turn profit to their shareholders - NOTHING MORE.

He who believes these companies exist as a way for the mass population to voice their opinion and as a way to exercise democracy should rethink what these companies are all about.

Note: I do not necessarily agree with that they do, just pointing out what they are all about.

New syspatch(8) utility for security and reliability binary updates to the base system.
It is Intel that is introducing a new socket with each new generation, and now even a new socket for their performance-but-not-X99-line. It will then have that new Socket 2066, plus Socket 1151, plus Socket 2011-3. Only that the latter will be replaced by LGA 3647.

And I'm not even touching on server stuff here.
Thinkpad T420 even should have you some money left for ram or ssd upgrade. I use mine as daily driver and love it

Is it a waste? Our system does not map monetary reward to value created. Better to assume someone not making big money is doing something worthwhile.

If salary were a function of social value added why is the Pepsi CEO so well paid? So many industries just appropriate wealth from real work.

Rust can totally compile on console platforms- it's been done, e.g. on PS4 (https://twitter.com/wickerwaka/status/479842553831776257), as I'm sure you've seen, Steve :)

The problem (speaking as someone working on a console game at a AAA studio) is more likely that it's not officially supported. Console SDKs include C++ toolchains and C++ libraries, and there's a lot to lose by trying to bypass that, especially on a game project schedule.
They say that am4 will be their platform for coming years.
Considerations on using HoloLens in a public demo or exhibition
I think that's the main issue: We're talking about"apps" here, where a unified HCI guide always was an important goal. Material design is basically using the Android's platform's UI in the browser.

This application POV clashes with "web pages" being more a domain of print designers gone digital.

Tschichold or Tognazzini...
1151 already has a massive range of CPU to select from, AM4 as only got Ryzen 3,5 and 7 which are not very budget right now.

1151 has the budget options right now, yes you can get a Ryzen 3 and upgrade to Ryzen 7 in future but the performance bump bang per buck will be less in my opinion.
My totally unresearched guess was that it referred to the five armed services: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard.

Yeah, I had to explain to a client once that our new version of their analytics query produced different results because their original SAS code didn't mind referencing variables before they're declared, and so one of the numbers in the analysis used to always be 0.

They did NOT appreciate hearing that they had been running a bugged query for years...
If they need to make some ammount from tickets, lets say $10000. Then your ticket can cost either $35 or $32 if they overbook.

Parent is right you are wrong. It is economical to sell as many tickets as possible and ecological to try to fit in as many people as possible to a single flight. Overbooking is good and helps with both.
hahaha nope Intel is the one with too many sockets. 1155 → 1150 → 1151 is just ridiculous, and 2011-v3 is electrically different from 2011 as well.

Representing Function Properties with TypeScript's Type System
The good thing about buying a slightly higher-end CPU is that it will last you for quite a few years. I got my CPU close to its release (2009) and don't feel like I am missing out on anything.

Furhtermore turns out that the Ryzen 5 matches the price that my current CPU is selling for at the moment. I have an Intel i7 860 (1st gen). I still don't think that I would benefit from upgrading at this point.

Of course, I use my system mostly just for writing code. Friends of me who are into computer animation and design follow changes in the hardware world more closely than I do. (And gamers as well).
Very happy with a ASUS Zenbook UX305FA. Everything worked with no issues when I put Ubuntu MATE on it. It feels more-or-less identical to a 13 inch MacBook Air.

It was ~$400, but "used" in my case was relatively new and unused. I bet if you found a version with a blemish or two it'd be ~$300
1151 has the most CPU options right now, no?
In the west there is almost no "left" left. A classical socialist or radical left response to this crisis would be entirely different: "we need a planned economy." The modern simpering liberal "left" just moans about carbon offsets and sign a few non-binding international agreements, and continue things as usual.
> For websites, at least, this can be partially worked around if you stop doing stupid shit. Just don't put 1MB of JS and a 10MB hero image over an article if all you want is to deliver text communicating a message.

What are the most comparable benchmarks to web development work (i.e. Visual Studio compile/publish/debugging), or what do you recommend for making educated decisions around purchasing a CPU specifically for building software?
Thinkpad is a good choice. If you live in the US and you budget is $300 you can easily get a T430s (s is thinner than non-s). If you are patient and willing to spend some time on ebay you could find X240 or T440 under $300. I would try to get FHD IPS display. If you can't find one, you can get one for ~$60-$80 and replace it yourself (very easy to do and manuals and howto videos made by lenovo are available online).

EDIT: Many used thinkpads come with HDD. I highly recommend replacing it with SSD. I got the cheapest 120GB sandisk SSD from amazon (~$50) for a X230 I got from ebay and I am very happy with it.
Link? I have to admit it has been some time since I compared services, but that sounds like the first TB, a highly unreliable CDN, some stupid low number of simultaneous connections, or some other such lame artificial resource limitation.
Those are large losses by companies who had much larger cash reserves, net income, and market caps. As such they do not appear to me to be apples to apples comparisons.
4 Important Aspects of the Luxury Home Search
Ahh, yeah. I live in the south east United States. We change our clocks by an hour in spring and fall. It is the trickiest when the Sun sets later because they tend to want to be up a little later in the day (800-830) now before the Sun doesn't make the house so bright, but it is still fine. We just used heavier drapes when they were younger to trick their mental clocks a little.

Easy to forget the planet isn't the same for everyone else :)
I haven't read enough about the other PAKEs to know what offline attacks look like there, but the fact that they are endemic to PAKEs is a total footgun.

For example, one implementation of SRP I looked at used 8-digit codes (e.g. 12345678) to connect new devices to a network. Eight digits was enough to prevent brute-forcing by repeatedly sending codes to the server, but not enough to prevent an attacker from MITMing the connection and brute-forcing the code offline, because the server was using a bad RNG.
Multicore has been 'for the masses' for a decade or more by now, even in mobile phones. What is different here than with other chips made by Intel or AMD that makes you say that?
"Horrible catastrophe" works, but it doesn't stop there. How are humans and our political and military structures going to react?

It is debatable how close we have been, during various past crisis, to an actual large-scale nuclear conflict. I don't think we can deny our raw capability to cause a near-extinction-level with our existing technology (nuclear, biological or otherwise). Our political and military ecosystems, flawed as they may be, have kept that capability in check.

But would such a "horrible catastrophe" stress that ecosystem way past the point where it will remain confidently under control? Absolutely yes, I believe that beyond any reasonable doubt.

With our global structure out of control, is there is a significant probability for that destructive capability to be put into action? Absolutely yes, I believe that probability to be significant, beyond any reasonable doubt. I don't see how it can't be otherwise.
Customers have been clamoring for more control over Twitter's moderation functionality since the 2016 US Presidential elections and they got it.

I did mostly the same, except:

- I went without any phone at all at first, after breaking my smartphone much like you did; then decided I should at least have an old Nokia charged in case of emergency. No contract at all.

- I don't like using it, and I still hate voice/SMS 2FA, I use Authy instead wherever possible.

- I cheat a bit, since I do have a Nexus 7 still which I use around home and sometimes put in my pocket for podcasts. I don't think this is really cheating though, since it's WiFi only, so it's not really different from using a laptop - I can't be connected unless I'm stationary.

> The only downside I've encountered is the feeling that others are being ignorant/rude whilst blankly staring into their phone. You don't notice this when you're doing it too, but it's really very noticeable once you stop.

Yes! I don't mind it too much at the moment though, because I just think I'm glad not to be doing that. I've occasionally half-joked (with family) something like 'Well, it's nice to be out somewhere different for a change while we use our phones, isn't it?' :)

>Especially if you plan on developing web apps I can only recommend to use an older-generation machine.

This is very specific to the workflow of the developer. If you develop on a Windows Stack (through VMs) you very well could want the extra power to run the Visual Studio debugger. Or you may also want the extra power to run several Virtual machines. There are plenty of good reasons to get a high powered machines for web apps.
Imagine if the local water or electric monopoly could vary your service by how much they liked your views. It's time for some antitrust regulation of the big tech companies. If you control a platform then you have an obligation to be fair to the general public.

How many sockets has AMD had in "just the last couple years"?

Right, the AM3 socket started being sold February 2009, and AM3+ was entirely compatible with that.

[edit] Also: FM2, targeting a different range of performance, came out in 2012. Again, FM2+ was backwards compatible there too. Still five years since a non-backwards-compatible AMD chipset.

You might be thinking about Intel's practices.
Overbooking is an extremely common practice. In fact, I don't know of a single airline that doesn't overbook. On a plane with hundreds of seats you almost always get cancellations; the small amount of times you don't, you almost always get people volunteering to be pushed to the next flight in exchange for money (I've done it myself a few times as I don't mind working in airports).

Cases like these are exceedingly rare. There's a million fucked up things with how they handled the situation, starting with assaulting the passenger. Overbooking itself is the last thing you should be worried about.
