The USPS wants one vehicle so it needs a much longer range. The Grumman LLV was specifically designed for the United States Postal Service with Grumman winning the contract for production... Approximately 140,000 LLVs are in the USPS delivery fleet.[6][7] A number were also sold to Canada, Mexico, and several other countries.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_LLV On September 22, 2016, the United States Postal Service awarded the NGDV Prototype Contract to six selected suppliers: AM General, Karsan, Mahindra, Oshkosh, Utilimaster, and VT Hackney. Half of the prototypes will feature hybrid and new technologies, including alternative fuel capabilities. The prototypes will represent a variety of vehicle sizes and drive configurations, in addition to advanced powertrains and a range of hybrid technologies.[16]
Find journalism with taxes? Then wouldn't it follow that those journalists would have a disincentive to serve as a check to their masters that pay them?

Journalism's oldest and most important role is to serve as a watchdog over government. When they start profiting from government, they'll be less likely to be critical of it.

Journalism should be supported by the free market. If people want it, they pay. If nobody wants to pay, then you either adapt or die. The really good media outlets are doing just fine (i.e. The Economist, NY Times,) those on the margins are at risk -- but that's their own fault.

State supported media has the potential to turn into Pravda (for the political party from whom they garner the most support, usually leftists,) and it generally does, albeit with much more subtlety.

> No way the boss will shell out $70 per license if/when ST3 is ever released

That's crazy. My computer was waiting with a license for ST3 when I arrived at my first day of work at my job. Everyone's is, and if you prefer Atom or VSCode, they don't care if you switch.
> The key element is respect I think. I respect you, you respect me and everybody's a happy bunny.

You sound quite reasonable, and I think you're right. :-) Other folks I've encountered are... not so reasonable.
My God.

Did you honestly think it was the latter? Without even considering the less malicious of the two first?
> I also know some feminists who find the idea of a white heterosexual male being capable of being kink shamed is definitionally impossible and thus something to find offensive

Ehh, there's a lot who find kink shaming to be something fundamentally different from oppression of LGBTQIA+ people and racial minorities, but many fewer who'll state categorically that it doesn't exist or doesn't cause harm to individuals.
I've never seen any leftist claim that any group is inferior by birth; though it is, of course, easy to find leftists looking down on people for the ideas they hold and politics they practice. But having bad ideas doesn't seem to translate to "is my lesser" or is less human than me.

To put it another way, the leftists will acknowledge that anyone can grow out of stupid ideas (and indeed, there are hopeful stories of bigots changing their tune), while the things the right gets down on people for (being gay, whatever) are things built into the person.

So, I think this is an inaccurate characterization of the left. You're free to be annoyed by whatever annoys you, of course, but this one might merit rethinking.
Hard to describe.
You can chalk it up to "resentment towards historical events". It saddens me when I think about the forceful change of religion/culture in my country.
As for why I'd like for it to make a come back 1. I believe in the core tenets of the religion itself 2. I see it as some kind of "justice being served/ restoration of ancestorial way of life"
I enjoy teaching people who like learning. The effort required to teach those who aren't that curious saps my energy, and eats into time I need to advance my own skills. I didn't work super hard to learn what I've learned just to give it away to someone who is indifferent.

It could also mean you will do all the routine menial work and will never get a chance to touch something more complicated :). I have seen more experienced seniors to treat less experienced junior pretty badly in the past. Junior did not learned all that much imo nor was given chance.
This Robot Will Swing Over Crops Like Tarzan – MIT Technology Review
S3's "encryption at rest" is transparent (see: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/serv-side-enc...). If someone (or some server) has access to the S3 bucket, they have access to all of the data. Control then is delegated to IAM roles and permissions, not to the crypto model.

> As long as you authenticate your request and you have access permissions, there is no difference in the way you access encrypted or unencrypted objects.

The only advantage of S3 encryption is that if someone walks out of the data center with a disk, they can't read the data on it.
Yeah, when I started years back I had the Security+ as it was a requirement by my university at the time. During an interview I had the technical manager ask me about it and openly wonder why I would waste my time with such a useless certification. I didn't get that job, and I still wonder if it's because he thought less of me because of a certification I was required to obtain in order to graduate.

I leave my certifications off my resume now, unless the job posting asks for certifications which is frustrating trying to decide if adding this cert to my resume will help or hurt me in the interview.

Yes I did, mixed that up, thanks.
Now I can't edit but to clarify: this machine I bought less than a month ago.
Really great article and comments :)

Just as a point of reference, I currently see around 1.25 - 1.5 op/cycle on carefully crafted highly parallel lock-free, stall-free code... say running on 8 threads. Code that has 0.01% branch misprediction.

Unfortunately in my case as others mention, access to the I/O ports and memory latency, is a real limiting factor. The CPU is just... waiting

Getting to the Holy Grail that Ryg talks about of 3 instructions per cycle is really hard with non-vectorizable workloads - like screwing around with hash tables that have no chance of fitting in L1/L3, and not being able to really make much use of SIMD, even if you are paying attention to cache-lines.

Most apps barely scrape by at 0.5 instructions/cycle or worse and spend most of the time bouncing on the kernel for stupid stuff. Not good.

Absolutely <3 performance freaks!
>And before you tell me Tor is nothing more than a privacy tool, remember that most sites ban Tor exits because the majority of users are troublemakers.

So... don't tell you the truth, because you've already decided that a bunch of anonymous people are "bad".

Have you ever considered a career in law enforcement or politics?
Right, but the thread here was: "Does freebsd support CUDA yet?" and that was the wrong way around.

So all this in the context of CUDA. Sorry for messing that line up.

Thoughts on Python asynchronous API design in a post-async/await world
This is cynical and depressing, but it's less off the mark than people here seem to think. In a _well_ run company, this attitude doesn't make sense. But in a company that does not respect or have loyalty to its employees, this attitude should be the expected result. Over time, it seems like more and more companies are falling into the second category and they will get the employees they deserve.

That's not clear, the chart just says "comparison of cards", the article does not mention how it was made
From most people I talk to, the exception is the OSCP since it requires you to actually pop real, live boxes. Anyone holding that cert has actually exploited a buffer overflow, escalated privileges, etc. CEH, CISSP, etc are just too theoretical with no hands-on requirements.
I suspect we'll do it here in the US too eventually, under a "national security" umbrella to, "protect ourselves some foreign cyber-terror" or such nonsense. The UK will probably do it first...

Edit: Remember that a huge portion of this country is demanding a 2000 mi long wall be built along one border... don't underestimate stupid and scared.

Except that the tick danger is not exaggerated. If you frequent the woods (and I mean, go inside them, not just staying on the paths), then you will get ticks (clothing doesn't make a difference unless you go in a space suit). And if you keep doing that for years, you will rack up a dozen - or rather, dozens - of ticks, and chances for tick-borne diseases are surprisingly high.

Your link doesn't apply here. Looks like you missed the point. :) At any rate, I changed my post to (hopefully) be more clear.

It's one thing if we are talking about their actions that are part of being a community leader. IE: if a Drupal leader showed porn during a talk at a Drupal conference. It's another to say that their personal actions outside of this official role represent the community. This is why people say that their Twitter views do not represent their employer etc. because there can and should be a separation between the two.
Not surprising, since the RX 480 has more raw compute power than the GTX 1060. Also more VRAM… and overclocking headroom :)
Basically : They design for value for users instead of, and they add features relentlessly instead of hitting product-market fit and stopping development until a competitor comes out with something good (looking at FB).

This is probably due to the high level of competition and limited marketshare the firms in China are looking at. FB and Western firms want to rule the world, because they can, so they are still focusing on growth with iniciatives like internet.org. Chinese firms know their market is China, and they understand China, and it will be hard for them to export, so when they grow as big as WeChat the options are more limited.

Their option was to build a whole ecosystem around it that could capture maximum user value. They also seem to prize their users religiously, which is great for them. But it might not have happened for them that way either if they were hopeful of capturing the entire world.
> They are just as popular as they have ever been

This can't be true seeing as Google Docs is used by many companies and students.

And "better" may not be the goal of many web apps. They may be trying to measure success by "convenience" rather than being objectively "better".
Agree that it's good to have 1 recommended option; but think there's also value in alternatives... maybe have the recommended, but then include other options afterwards; so you get the best of both worlds; recommended option getting screenspace and justification, other options just a name & a link.

You could add automation to populate those lists based on existing entries (e.g. by calling the AlternativeTo API, should that get brought back online: http://alternativeto.net/about/api/, or integrating with other product recommendation sites, such as Slant (https://www.slant.co/search?query=tools%20for%20remote%20wor...).
Well, it was Courtland's right to publish his financials when he was the sole proprietor of IH. Now he's a Stripe employee and therefore is governed by their policy on the matter, I assume.
That's not surprising. The dogma of open offices assumes that most disruptions are informative, when in fact they're just disruptive.
Sometimes configuration is spread across different GUI apps, or just poorly organized within a single app. The equivalent is a problem with text configuration, too of course.

What I think of is things like msconfig.exe, a fairly obscure program that controls a lot of useful and diverse features for Windows, but I didn't even know about it until I'd been a window user for years as for some reason it wasn't included in the control panel until recently.

And what was organizing your memory regions as you posted that? Some piece of javascript written by some hipster second week out of a hacker bootcamp or a properly designed malloc implementation?

You got me excited, but VS Code is missing the one feature that prevents us from using it (or Atom, or Brackets): the ability to open, display and edit a file with null bytes in it. Sublime does this wonderfully. VS Code refuses to open the file. Atom pretends the bytes aren't there.
I think you are being a bit dramatic, however what you describe does happen to some extent. When it does, its either a management failure for not responding to the senior software engineer voicing concerns that his/her time is not spent in the proper proportion between work/mentoring, or, it is the fault of the senior software engineer for just sitting there, refusing as much as possible to help the less experienced co-worker, whilst not properly communicating it upwards. It is certainly not the fault of the one asking the questions.
I have worked in a quite office and an open office and I think at the end of the day my feelings are the same. I am more productive and can get more done in less time when I do my own thing in my own space.

One thing I think worth mentioning though is as our systems become more and more distributed there is a clear advantage to having the limitations in communication folks are bringing up. It really forces you into a mindset where you have to nail down your API so others can neatly interface with your work. When I'm in the same location as a teammate, I'm more likely to just go over and ask them how their module/service works, which I might argue leads to more intertwined, less decoupled code. If I am physically removed from other team members, I am forced to make more independent resilient systems because in order for projects to be more successful, I have to more closely stick to the predefined API specs from the outset.

I am fortunate in that I have garnered enough skill/demand that I can work from my boat, sailing around Mexico, so for me, the freedom independent contracting has allowed in my personal life is unmatched. I undrrstand why managers and business owners are loathe to offer this kind of work, and I think partly it's because a few bad eggs has given wfh a bad rep

How I Made My Own iPhone – In China [video]
We have a flexible WFH system, in that we can work one or two days from home a week as desired/required.

It's a 20-25 minute commute to work, and I really notice the difference in the quality of my day when I work from home. I can work, go to the gym, make food, do chores, and still have time to do something worthwhile after work hours.

When I commute, all of the little things end up and my day feels so much shorter.

That said, I like going into the office, even if it is cubicle land. Spontaneous design conversations are valuable. If people are having a problem, I can hear it, and jump in if I can contribute. It would be challenging to be 100% remote in my role, which involves communication, mentoring, and team organization in additional to technical work.

If I lived two blocks from the office, I'd have the best of both worlds :)
But that saying, authored by Milton in Paradise Lost, is ascribed to Lucifer/Satan. Not exactly a fountain of wisdom and good judgement.
Also, Milton wasn't particularly orthodox, but in conventional Christian theology Satan is not said to rule in Hell- he suffers with the rest of us.

In an absolute sense, though, it would only be better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven if the status of a servant in Heaven was worse than that of a ruler in Hell. Status is relative, but not only relative to the other participants in the study - it's relative to the entire population. I'd prefer to get $10 and have one neighbor get $20 than $8 and $5, because the wealth of millions of people establish the price of goods to me, not one person getting a little more. In a world where a million people get $0, I get $10, and someone else gets $20, I'm relatively wealthier than if a million people still got $0, I got $8, and my neighbor got $5.

Yeah, it might be more economically rational to seek to get $8 million if the entire world was going to get $20 million if I didn't take the option, but then there's the old saying "a rising tide lifts all boats..."
Well I said it originally, and I was referring to the fact that a lot of the zseries hardware is actually just software emulation running somewhere that makes a piece of regular hardware look like a zseries peripheral. Take the disk subsystem for example, the disks are just boring old SCSI disks fronted by a linux/PPC controller which is making them look like ficon CKD/DASD disks. Sure, sometimes IBM has a little "secret sauce" in place to ease that transition, but its not at the level of actually writing native 3390 tracks on modern multi TB disk drives.
How would you even construct a law that bans adblockers but not accessibility features?
I also came to appreciate MVVM through WPF and was sad to see it go. The thing is, MVVM has really flourished on the web - though under various other names. I'm working with VueJS right now, and it's my favorite iteration of MVVM so far, smoother and friendlier, more component oriented, and less dogmatic than what WPF had. New concepts have been added to the pattern as well, state management and data flow is something that the Microsoft stack has never really addressed, and it's a big win. Throw in Typescript and I'm pretty comfie, though I do miss being "closer to the metal."
What are the minimum things I need to know to become a successful web developer?
Every time I want to begin learning WebDev, I hear all about HTML, CSS, JS, Python, Ruby, Java, ASP.NET, SQL, ...

What makes me frightened is that each of those has multiple variations, frameworks, libraries, idioms and best practices, etc.

For example, JS in Front-end has so many frameworks, and in the Back-end it has Node.js runtime and other stuff as well.

My question is: What are the minimum things required to learn in order to become a successful web developer (preferably freelancing)?
With that logic it would seem reasonable to assume someone of any religion might execute poor judgement. There's always something to disagree with in any religion.

Thanks for the considered answer, I might have to rethink my position.

Not denying in the least BTW the lessons of Tenerife/CRM (and I brought up the Saudi 163 example precisely because it challenges PIC authority), just arguing that the devolution of authority should go as far as the crew, but not extend to pax.

As for distinguishing contexts, my argument is that an airplane is not the right place to have that discussion. Say I use my mobile phone, arguing that it is not actually safety relevant, and only a business decision by the airline because they want me to use their expensive credit card sat phone. Then when crew asks me to switch it off, I refuse, and when they ask me to disembark, I refuse, as it's a commercial issue, not safety or ops. It seems like a slippery slope.
WeChat holds the money - it's like PayPal.
The community aspect of ST is a result of the product being somewhat unique in its positioning as commercial product, but also one that is 'free' for use as long as you can put up with the random nag window. The community aspect represents all the people who have never paid a cent for the product finding a different way to give back. Even paying for it costs a fraction of similar commercial software (although this is admittedly a harder argument to make).

Sounds like you want to reward PR over progress and development work. Writing PR and responding to the same questions over and over sucks time away from actual work.

If your point was that they don't respond to questions or are hard to reach, it would make more sense to me, but they seem very responsive.

The trend in software is definitely towards a lot of tooting one's own horn over substance. I don't think that's a good thing that we should be rewarding.

But advocating to sacrifice anonymity is a problem. It makes those fighting governments very vulnerable and easily silenced. And gives a way for governments to take action against anonymity.
