I don't find your point coherent. Why should anyone be paid well for anything if their revenue generation is due more to circumstance than anything else?

How far down the rabbit hole would we be going to go with this? Who gets to decide what the capital cutoff point is for "too massive" and the contribution cutoff point is for "due to circumstance"?

If I don't believe in free will, and thereby claim you make too much money because you technically weren't responsible for any of your actions and never chose the outcome that happened, can I incite a communist revolution and seize your assets? If I feel someone won the lottery because they were lucky, do I get to take all their money because they didn't contribute value or "earn" it in a way that I find agreeable?

Can you give me an example of someone who is wealthy who earned their money in a manner that isn't arguably due to circumstance? As it stands, I can't think of an example that is materially different from a tech CEO who happened to be in the right place and right time. Go far enough back and every idea and execution on that idea is due to chance. But that applies to everyone, not just tech CEOs, or whoever the robber baron of the week is.
It's money is being loaned to thousands of businesses, creating massive value.

Shareholders own the company, all its assets and all its profits. Without their willingness to allow their investment, assets and profits to be kept in the company, it doesn't exist. Suppliers and employees are only part of the equation because they are paid to be, and if they don't like their pay will walk at the drop of a hat.

If your business becomes unprofitable your shares can be rendered worthless, and you can't "quit" and exchange worthless shares for ownership in a better company.
Cool, thanks for the info. Wondering if this is remotely worth it for a home computing cluster yet.
>> a lot of people shoot their DSLR's in program mode without making technical considerations

Also, a lot of consumer DSLR buyers don't buy much more than a slow superzoom or a kit lens duo (~18-50 + 70-210/300), so they're not truly benefiting from the potential of their purchase beyond the larger sensor.
Note that "100G optical connections" is physically implemented as "4x25G optical connections". The 4 wavelengths are coarsely spaced, which allows cheaper optical components to be employed. (As opposed to long-haul optics, where it is economical to squeeze many more wavelengths on the same fiber with costlier optics.)
These people were all popularisers and marketers, not original inventors.

There is actually no good theory of social value underlying capitalism. "More money = good, less money = bad" is crude and unsophisticated nonsense.

The reality is that there are many different activies creating "value": original invention in different flavours, packaging and industrialisation, marketisation, promotion, sponsorship, monopolisation, wealth capture and tribute collection, destructive resource extraction, sustainable resource extraction, and so on. Among others.

Only some of these generate real value. Others consume real value. But market theory is too clumsily unsophisticated to highlight the distinctions in a way that maximises productive creation while minimising unproductive capture.
I know it's a small niche market but low-light performance is a huge factor for underwater photographers. Water molecules filter out most of the red light just a few meters down, and depending on water clarity the sunlight can be almost completely gone at 30m deep.

I agree wealth is not a problem, but corruption can be particularly devious in the hands of the wealthy. Wealthy people also have a greater benefit to the world than the average person when they are benevolent. I think both facts are the same with a wealthy government.
Maybe not extra actual productivity, but extra imagined productivity and when it comes time to raises, it's not reality, or what could have been, but your boss's imagination that counts.
I daresay “good philosophy” is based on the rigor of the ideas themselves, not the lives of philosophers themselves. The canon of philosophy is replete with men who did distasteful or abhorrent things, but their ideas are studied nonetheless.

I like this, but isn't it essentially the same as manual curation?

Not that I see anything wrong with that. I've lurked /new for a long time and noticed more and more spammy articles increasing the noise factor. I really think the whole thing is an arms race for views that can't really be stopped without a real person in the loop.

Perhaps you could start assigning reputation to a domain that's linked to how many good articles have come from there? This would encourage "friendly" SEO spam of good articles at least, lol.
Yea that article is BS. The idea that corporations have obligations beyond their owners is pure parasitical nonsense. Obviously they have an obligation to behave legally, but their profits and assets are owned by shareholders.

Tim Cook is worth around a billion dollars, he has massive personal resources to pursue charitable activities on his own. Should he reduce the dividend an aging widow depends on to use corporate resources instead?

Semi-Off Topic: Do DSLR cameras now support large/long video files? It seems that reviews don't seem to outright state whether or not there are limits to the length of capture.[0] Maybe I am just super behind the times?

My Canon T2i only supports video recording up to a certain amount (the size-limit of a single file in a FAT file system) or duration which I believe is 12 minutes—whichever comes first. Apparently this is based on European Union import laws about what constitutes photography equipment and what is a video capturing equipment and different tariffs.

Whether or not it's AVCHD or a single large-file does not matter to me. It seems like video is rarely reviewed in depth.

Author also contradicts himself.

First the author laments only 8 novel prizes of the batch. Then in the next sentence goes on to praise Lisa Randall for revolutionising physics, and notes that for every Lisa Randall there are dozens that fall short of their potential.

Ironic because Lisa Randall didn't win a Nobel Prize in physics. Yet.....
Most modern smartphones also support camera voice control. But if course that introduces an additional delay and can be awkward in some settings.
I think that it's a semantic thing, but most "simple OS in 24 hours" projects only talk about the kernel because the rest is easy/off-topic.

Looks like you can get 100Gb NICs for servers e.g.

On the distance, there are other specs that support 100Gb up to 20km on there!
They take large risks, and do work that not many people would be able to do - there aren't that many Bezoses and Musks out there. It's not just luck and circumstance, despite the current common narrative around success. That's certainly one component, but people at least partly make their own luck via their outlook and skills.

If you want people to continue to take large risks, you need to offer them good rewards if they succeed, and/or reduced downside in the case of failure.
I can see though how arguably it's more applicable to personal or startup (flexible, able to pivot) projects, not so much to medium-big companies. I can see how it might be more important to implement it regardless of it being 1h or 1 week than asking whether or not it's a good idea to implement it.

And also arguably the university teaching focus on these companies. That is why you have all of these fancy ways of encapsulating dependencies and wrapping them into oblivion.

Funnily enough a really similar thing happens in other degrees. I studied Industrial Engineering and can calculate whatever you want about the cinematics of a robot arm but it wasn't until I set up with some friend to learn how to make one from scratch that we really knew what it was all about.
well the question for the game industry should be:
do we really want to target a audience who doesn't care about the "fun" part and more about the "good locking" part?

- actually I'm more a nintendo person, because their games are fun and they don't care about all this fps/monster machine, thingy.
I mean I don't care about Call of Duty 1000 or any other re-release with cool looking graphics but minor game play enhancements. well the pc, xbox and ps4 also has a lot of games that are fresh and new and make fun or even a re-release of a game can be great, but most of them are just sickening and after a while I stop playing them.
It's really really sad where this industry goes. Well pushing graphics is good, but overdoing it while limiting the fun part, is bad.

tl;dr fun > graphics

Pretty sure most applications don't need to support RFC 2177 to still be efficient. Long-polling for most IMAP servers requires one packet every nine minutes (to the best of my knowledge), which is literally nothing. It would take months of being run constantly to even get up to a megabyte of data being transferred. Some rough back of the envelope calculations:

- 10 minutes per poll, 1440 minutes in a day, 144 packets per day.

- 50 bytes per packet, 1,000,000 bytes to a megabyte, 20,000 packets required.

- Roughly 140 days of time, or 5 months to reach a single megabyte.

Aren't there some optimisations that are so minuscule it isn't worth implementing them?
As Rosenhai mentioned, you can use any 'old' editor like Summernote or TinyMCE if you just want to edit html. The problem comes when you want to sync changes to server / others in collaborative environment. Without a state, all you see is a dom element and then you have to generate the diff which is pretty hard due to browser nuances.
Definitely for video.
Having more megapixels allows you to crop more without losing detail and effectively zoom in on different areas on the photo in post processing. It frees you from needing to perfectly compose your photo when you take it and it makes prime lenses almost as versatile as zooms for getting closer to your subject. It has an important effect on ergonomics because it lets you carry around a lightweight prime lens instead of a big heavy zoom and still be able to achieve similar results, or even better ones if you can take advantage of the prime's higher max aperture.

IIRC 5 years ago mozilla announced that thunderbird was not a priority anymore and considered dropping it.

Then 1 or 2 years ago mozilla announced that thunderbird sharing the firefox codebase was unnecessarily taxing firefox and the remaining thunderbird developers were struggling to follow the pace of firefox. Moreover that they believed thunderbird had little potential to have an impact as firefox has. So they proposed to separate thunderbird from firefox and cut the ties entirely.

Last news I heard was that Thunderbird could join seamonkey and become a community effort with some backing from mozilla[1].

How applicable is Amdahl's Law to this discussion?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law
A friend of mine was changing his profession to programming and he was around
the same age as you (though he was in HR previously, so he was retraining from
scratch with part time studies). It's perfectly OK to be junior at 40.

Then, you say you are/were an administrator. I say that this is a very, very
convenient position to do programming. (1) You have tasks that warrant writing
a program; (2) you will be part of your own audience, so you know when your
program is good enough and what the heck should it actually do; (3) you're
nominally not a programmer, so nobody will expect you to adjust your toolbox
to the company's vision. Language choice will be your decision, so if you deem
Erlang to be much better for something, you write Erlang, not C# or Java just
because the rest of the company uses that.

I am such a sysadmin myself (was? my title now is "programmer/Linux system
engineer"), so I speak from experience. Most of my day is spent on writing
code for managing systems, not on administration itself, though I do some of
that, too. And there's a lot of tools that would be helluva useful for
sysadmins (or for me, at least), but they are not written yet and I don't
expect regular programmers to write them.
Yeah, and so I did spring cleaning recently and significantly cut my liked pages etc. Result? The damn thing got even worse! Now it's instead prominently showing posts my friends have commented on, liked, etc. Things that are missing my interests even more than the superfluous pages I followed before, only to keep my feed "active" so I'll want to come back. It sucks I have to keep wading through this crap and surfaced "may interest you..." only because "everyone is there".
I hate when pages break the back button on mobile

Nope, especially not on servers. Of course Intel will have to scale up the core interconnects at some point and might also need to scale I/O and memory busses up in a similar vein as AMD does in Naples.

Note that this article is about Xeon E3 though, which is not the mainstream server platform, but is usually used for lowish-end workstations and entry-level servers.

A dull article ridden with blatantly false claims and oversimplification of an otherwise complicated topic.

>Gifted children who have a noticeable head start and whose skill development begins remarkably early _do not_ usually end up being game changing professionals in their respective fields.

Really now?

>Developing a skill set early on leads to competence in what is learned but stumps creativity and chances of innovation.

So having an deep, innate, intuitive grasp of a certain set of knowledge, made possible by said early exposure and disciplined training, has nothing to do with genius and potential inventive achievement in later life? But rather, it only allows for uncreative competence in what is learned and practiced, that and only that?

Really?

Is this man serious? How does something like this even pass for an article? How much thinking goes into writing something like this? Christ almighty.

I love it because the very things that Mr. Grant here paints as inhibitory to creativity are exactly the essential components of creative genius! His information is not only incorrect, it is the exact opposite of how things do work in real life.

It's not a zero sum game.
Both of aspects in question - Disciplined skill development as well as Creativity - are essential for intellectual success and are interdependent.

Structure, discipline, strong parent engagement and emphasis on learning and skill development, AS WELL AS creative undertakings, play, leisurely engagement, passionate tinkering / creation - both aspects are crucial.

In order to be able to create, the child has to imitate first. In order to fall in love with a pursuit, it has to be exposed to it first. And in order to be creatively successful in a pursuit, the child has to be very skilled in it first. And parents' intervention, guidance and support are very important in this regard.
As with many things, it depends. I have a fairly large Canon EOS system that I use with my 5D mk3. It's great. Extremely responsive, bright viewfinder, and nice long teles. It's absolutely my go to choice for sports, concerts, poorly lit speaking events, and wildlife.

That said, for my typical trip I take my Fujifilm gear because it's so much lighter and more compact. I just wish they'd do an X-E3.

I'm not going to get rid of my DSLR gear because I do use it but I know people who have.
I agree with the posts that this would just give more to jerks who game the system. Although what if there was just equal distribution. You could form coalitions for more resources or you could just use the small amount for exploratory research. Get 10 people together for a large grant 100 for a mega grant. This collaboration is required regardless if you want larger grants.

I would like to see a small pool of grant money go out like this. Or maybe the lower scored but not grant winning get 1/10th allocation with no requirements to do a small scale study or act as a bridge.

Imagine how amazing technology could be if we swapped the war budget with the health and science budgets.

It what way is it desirable for a business to remain "true to its roots"? What value does your nostalgia — for an inorganic, venture-backed cash machine — serve you, your society or your species?
Two probably dumb questions, but I can't tell from looking at the examples and a brief scan of the docs:

1) Can this be used as as content-editable substitute?
2) What format is the marked-up text stored in, and does it require Slate to be rendered?
If you aggressively use the "Hide all from" button you can eliminate the vast majority of crap that your friends share. That way you only see their original content.

I agree, like many things, it's a continuum rather than a binary, but if we are going to draw a line somewhere, my heuristic would be when the script is named after a foreign language, it isn't native. So, for example, the "Arabic," "Chinese" and "Latin" scripts are native, respectively, to Arabic, Chinese dialects and Romance languages, while in Farsi, Japanese and English they are in customary use, but are not of native origin.
Agreed.

I've read some great reviews of mirrorless cameras, but they always seemed a bit fan-boyish -- and I don't want to invest in gear simply because it's something all the cool kids are doing.

All I care about is the art, and I understand that there's always going to be trade-offs. Quite frankly, the main attraction to me right now with mirrorless cameras is the incredibly high ISO I'm seeing. But since photography is a long-term hobby, and since I don't go out and buy the new stuff simply because it's the new stuff, I figured the DSLR guys will be along in a few years with just as good sensitivity only it'll work with all of my other stuff, right?

I have no problem shooting with a cell phone if I think I've got a good shot. The problem is when I gear up and specifically go out to try and get something. At that point, what does mirrorless really get me? (assuming the DSLR bodies catch up over the next few years) I'm already hauling stuff. I'm thinking the mirror itself is a nit either way at that point.

Like I said, I need to keep an eye on this. The field is evolving quickly.
Backend services like databases aside most stuff that runs on servers today and requires most of the CPU and bandwidth is embarrasingly parallel = web application servers.

Similarly a lot of stuff which workstations are used for are (comparatively) easy to parallelize, e.g. rendering and many kinds of simulations (fluidics, FEM, ...).
The three main things holding mirrorless back (slow evf, slower af and battery life) will all improve drastically over the next few years. DSLRs won't be overtaken in those areas for a while, but mirrorless​ is the future in my opinion.

Unix Magic [poster]
Definitely seems completely unrealistic for any conversion involving idiomatic Perl. I could see it being possible for Java to C# or vice versa.
Removing the mirror and pentaprism makes the mirrorless camera smaller and cheaper.

The digital viewfinder shows you exactly what the sensor is seeing, so you have a better idea of what the final image will look like.

They focus better during video.

I think there are also some technical details on how the auto focus points work better mirrorless and the depth of field in the viewfinder is more accurate. I think DSLRs hold the apature wide open when you look through the view finder, then stop it down when you take the photo -- this keeps the view finder bright but effects the depth of field. Not 100% sure on this though.

But a SLR or DSLR with a bright 100% view finder is a thing of beauty. So big and crisp and clear.

Okay. Leave a message on the page and I'll reply you with some more details, ok?
So looking at this over a 5-10 year period and not just about today's specs, what's to keep a manufacturer like Canon or Nikon from building a mirrorless body that continues to work with all of their existing gear? If I were them and that's where I thought the market was going, that's what I'd do.
