If Intel can't offer more compelling improvements in watts per operation, I would be very disappointed.

We know fab sizing is going to stop being worth it. But bigger dies, with better heat dissipation, and processors that better fit today's use cases, all that should be within Intel's capabilities.

>They've been pushing out the same formula for console releases for 30 years now, and it works every time because the games are just so undeniably great. I don't understand why the other console manufacturers can't replicate this.

The Wii U was a massive failure, precisely because of a lack of third party titles. Nintendo has great ip, but they don't push out enough games. No real Metroid in quite some time and Mario won't even hit the switch until end of year. Other console manufacturers have been far more successful than Nintendo recently.

Edit: to clarify, I love Nintendo, have since the 80's. It's not true that they've been killing it for decades though, Sony has been eating their lunch off and on since the PSX.

With the above definition, couldn't any industry/company bailed out by the government (i.e. United Airlines, AIG, Citigroup) be considered a cartel due to the fact that they are not allowed to be overtaken by competitive market forces?
I don't have any "unspoken assertion", I really don't understand your comment. What is "natch"?

The FAA's issuing of new safety regulations has historically been reactionary, they are generally enacted in response to an accident or specific incident. It is actually only very recently that they have shifted from a reactive event based system to a proactive form of risk management.

An industry analyst of my acquaintance made a similar comment to me. He said that Intel has become significantly less willing to disclose their future plans with developers and others. He also said that there seems to be diminished interest by developers in going to an Intel-centric show.

A show like IDF clearly makes less sense if you're increasingly unwilling to say much about future directions. It's also entirely possible that the projections for event sponsorships, etc. weren't looking to be where Intel wanted them to be.

I would never willingly use XXX in code, for one simple reason: it's an abbreviation for pornography. All other arguments against it (and I think they're good arguments) would be dwarfed by the brief but squicky feeling I've gotten whenever I've encountered one of these tags in a codebase.

There's evidence that civilization is becoming more distributed -- increasing specialization in the trades, more joint publishing and shared Nobels in the sciences, chat replacing e-mail, social media replacing correspondence, increasing trade share of GDP, etc. To the extent it's part of this process, and to the extent such a world is more capable, more peaceful... it's a good thing.

I personally hate it.

Incidentally - and not accusing you of it - but the fear of expressing negativity here is another issue, which reminds me quite a lot of the Twilight Zone episode, "It's a Good Life".[1] I rather prefer Bram Cohen's approach: "Focus on the negative. It's what needs fixing."[2]

I don't understand what the author imagines Wikipedia purpose to be

As far as I can tell, the change the author wants is to make wikipedia the source of truth itself, and write articles on anyone so long as they produced some kind of media; but since I guess referring to other sources of writing on the creator is unreliable (unless they're cis white rich men?), I'm not sure what source wiki editors are supposed to refer to, beyond their own knowledge
My parents went on a trip to Europe a few years ago and we used Skype on every location they stayed at. The only place where they didn't have to pay separately for Internet access and where the connection wasn't dogcrap was Austria. And I don't remember where it happened, but in one case it was so outrageously expensive they just waited until their following destination to call.

But indeed, they later traveled to the US and had to pay as well. Nowhere I have stayed at in our third world country (Uruguay) this is a thing.

> For any reasonably complex codebase the complete rewrite is not possible.

If it's reasonably complex but also reasonably well designed, it can be completely but incrementally rewritten by module, without the problems you describe.

OTOH, those are usually the things that there is less pain with the existing system driving by a desire to rewrite. Chances are if you want to rewrite it, it's going to be a nightmare.
It needs a few libraries (libtorrent, sqlite) which seem to be packaged as binaries for macOS only - build them anew for your platform and it will probably run.
That's a cool little project, but it runs counter to almost every Windows upgrade I've ever performed. The natural bit rot of long running windows installations has always made a fresh install a much stronger guarantee of success than an upgrade.

What is Architectural Refactoring
Yes, of course. I have extremely strong preference for a world where other humans will cause suffering and/or death of non-human life, if necessary, to cure me of a disease or improve my quality of life. Therefore, I support such measures to help any other humans, hoping that they would do the same for me.

It's self preservation, plain and simple. Non-human life is useful and worthwhile only insofar as it improves human life. As it happens, that includes, some would say luckily, trying to preserve a whole lot of lifeforms because we don't yet know whether they will be needed in the future.

I can't find any reason to consider this immoral or wrong in any way. I think it's beyond morality - merely an inevitable side-effect of existence.

Has anyone in this thread written any comment of the sort, regarding such a hateful excerpt? It would be shocking if they did, but I haven't read anything like that.

It's interesting to note that you are agreeing with Coldtea but for completely different reasons.

Coldtea is saying that Cioran's works are intrinsically crap, without mentioning once Cioran's Nazi sympathies as a reason.

On the other hand, you're saying (and correct me if I'm wrong) that because Cioran was a Nazi sympathizer, then all of Cioran's works must necessarily be crap, because it would not be acceptable to think otherwise.
I ran an OpenStack cluster in my house for a few years. The deployment was managed by a bunch of scripts which I wrote and published to help others learn the basics in deploying an OpenStack cluster, sans most of the more complicated networking stuff. Last count, about 25K unique IPs downloaded the images used in those scripts to launch test instances. At one time I held the top 3rd or 4th link on Google for "openstack install".

A few years ago, I leveraged a bunch of methods in OpenStack to build a thing which would launch instances based on Bitcoin payments to certain preloaded addresses. These addresses allowed "templates" to be associated with cluster capabilities and code to be deployed. Payments to that address in Bitcoin would immediately net you an instance, of a certain type, on someone's infrastructure.

The general idea behind this creation was a way to abstract hardware components into a system by which applications could launch themselves and utilize the resources provided in a fair, secure and trustworthy way. It is my belief this model was WAY ahead of it's time, a precursor to the hybrid models we see emerging today, and lead directly to my personal realization that federation of all systems will be a basic requirement for implementing trusted computing in the future. We're going to need it with AI. Not sure how I know that, but there it is, irrationality and all.

Unfortunately, standardizing deployment methodologies doesn't net you federation. Standardization itself doesn't net you trust, unless everyone can agree on the standard, which is out of necessity done in an non-trustworthy way. Votes of a board, for example, aren't represented with fair consensus, unless there's an algorithm behind the votes. Otherwise, votes end up being slightly irrational, because people behind the votes are slightly irrational. Or very irrational, depending on the company they work for.

And yes, federation can be implemented in a trustworthy way by a corporation, such as Google or Amazon, but that requires all people in that federation (a discrete group) agree they will use this thing to implement trust, even though the thing may not actually have trust implemented in a rational way (i.e. by algorithm).

At the end of the day, OpenStack was doomed not because of container tech, or the structure of the board, or who ran the biggest cluster, or because it was overly complicated for simple use cases.

It failed because it did not implement the basic requirement of delivering trusted infrastructure in a scalable and trustworthy way across a broad range of infrastructure, in a wide range of locations, and do so in a way that separates the use of the infras from the irrationality of humans running the infra.

Until something does that, and does it well, we're stuck with Google, Amazon and other provider's solutions. This is also a good rationalization for the continued increase of cloud services by companies and the continued emergence of hybrid models in the future.
This is an excellent list.

I'm in the gym a LOT and nothing worked until I started doing squats. When I started doing squats, everything got better. This list leads off with bodyweight squats.

After you're comfortable with bodyweight squats you can go further with Ass To Grass and Paused ATG. After that, Pistols. At that point, you've more than won.

The one area of the list that I'd quibble on is push ups. If you are starting push ups, you should start with knee push ups. You should be able to knock out maybe 25 knee push ups before you progress to full push ups. And push ups for taller and heavier people are harder than for shorter and lighter people. Same with planks.
I think the deeper meaning is that rather than trying to predict what path will be most optimal, you should be taking whatever step seems most optimal without trying to predict the future.

> The hotel lobby certainly would be in favor of loosening safety regulations in general as compliance will certainly cut into their bottom line at least a little.

I'm pretty sure they would be in favor of tightening regulations as much as possible, as long as those regulations are draconically enforced. The incumbents can comply with anything and pass the buck to the customer while any potential competitor cannot enter the market because the upfront regulatory cost is so immense.

"You can eliminate conflicts of interest via financial disclosures etc, ..."

No, you can expose conflicts of interest that way, but merely disclosing who's on whose payroll does not actually eliminate any conflict of interest.

And it's a false dichotomy that you either get industry insiders or "people who have no idea what they are regulating".
By mimicing industry the study is working uphill. The more direct approach would be to bleed and study a captive population. Bleed some already captive aquarium crabs. Then you can see exactly what happens when you return them to thier home tanks. That should answer some fundimental mortality and movement questions in days, if not hours. (Good luck finding a legit aquarium willing to let its animals participate.)

They also focus too much on the bleeding. What matters is how many die from both the bleeding and the handling. The "control group" should be wild and uncaught animals.
Is this technique scalable to more complex games?
Without indexes, SQLite will do a table scan of sorts, which would still require all pages (=torrent pieces) that have data for a particular table. With indexes however this can be a lot smarter (client likely only needs a few pages from the index for a single query).

I'm currently reading Arianna Huffington's "The Sleep Revolution". If you're interested in more stuff like this, it's pretty good. It's definitely made me more mindful of winding down and night and getting plenty of sleep.

One thing in particular that stood out is the rise in cortisol associated with lack-of-sleep, and cortisol's relationship to gaining fat; having hit a couple of rocky weeks sleep due to young kids at home, this was particularly relevant to me.

I now rank sleep as pinnacle in terms of health / fitness training, mental well-being, creativity, etc.
I did a prototype app with RubyMotion a couple of years back.

The iOS gems made getting an app out the door easy if you were already a Ruby developer. Android, not so much. The support for Android was still fresh. The APIs to interact with Android were there, but not very many gems for Android + RubyMotion at the time. However, there hasn't seemed to be much progress with RubyMotion + Android since then.

React Native was a good alternative and appeared to pick up more steam. Likely because of the rise of React. Since this targeted iOS and Android better, it was more exciting to put effort there.

As a Ruby developer, I'm excited to see what's to come! I'd love to give RubyMotion another chance.
>"unfortunately misinformation campaigns are better funded than pro climate action campaigns."

I can't attest as to who is better funded. But the "pro-climate" camp has cornered the market on childhood indoctrination. You know, the whole "green" movement, "save the planet", "extinct species", "pollution", "recycling", etc. It's all neatly packaged and pawned off in classrooms and children's cartoons. You would think then that as adults we'd stick with that; yet there are people out there that have had to go back on everything they've been taught in order to get into the anti-climate-change camp.
You'll see how a startup works, funding rounds, how to set things up, etc.

In a big company, you are insulated against that and you only do your specific role. Startups require employees to have a much higher, cross-company view.
Okay, so instead of Doctrine, look at another library that has the basic parts and then the advanced parts. Here is one from a different library that is safe and "easy"

$user = $db->find('user', 'first_name = ?', ['Name']);

> As you can see PDO is optimized for doing things easily the unsafe way while Sequel has the safe way as the normal way of running queries which is just as easy to use as the unsafe way.

PDO isn't "optimized" to do them the wrong way or the right way. Yes, it's less code to do it the wrong way, but that isn't a true definition of easier.

As for the escaping, I would expect Twig to escape things, it's want it's meant for (and the reason you use it instead of just vanilla PHP). And Rails is a subset of Ruby correct? So not a true comparison again.
Steam does a good job of covering all of the Linux distros, even if you're on your own for things like Arch Linux (the community maintains a great Wiki).

I guess it depends on the size and culture of a given research community. Researchers are people too and petty things do happen. But, as a referee, I have followed through error propagation (once I saw erorbars that looked amazing and wondered how I could get such beautiful results and discovered they made an error in the error propagation). When reviewing methods papers, I have checked the integrals and equations, looking for errors (including minus signs) because eventually it will go into some code that most people won't read. Then, there are just simple checks on the science and on history of the field. I don't think that I'm unique. Refereeing well takes time, but it's part of the responsibility/duty of being a researcher. A friend's metric is that he should referee at least as many papers per year as he publishes.

By all means, when you read a paper, be skeptical and go through it yourself, but in my field, referees do actually provide some quality control.

>"Is this an US thing?"

I think its mostly a big corporate hotel chain thing as I have also experienced this in the EU as well(although it might have been an American hotel chain) at times but it's definitely a common practice in the US yes.

Equally annoying is that these hotels will use some horrible third party captive portal that you need to re-log in to at regular intervals. I've often been disconnected because some arbitrary timer expired while I was in the middle of something important.

You will almost never see a small boutique hotel in the U.S charge for internet access or have a captive port however.
