Strongly agree with the second point, that visualization is used not as a tool for understanding but for confirming, whereas it should be vice versa.

It reminds me of a thread on MathOverflow (the StackExchange for professional mathematicians) asking for proofs without words (which tends to fall in the category of "visual" proofs: the second most-voted answer is "because I think proof by picture is potentially dangerous, I'll present a link to the standard proof that 32.5 = 31.5".

To your last point, it doesn't have to be a move. I'm not getting away from macOS for my laptop any time soon, but I am looking at getting a Linux desktop so I can use libraries that use CUDA. Having the second one doesn't mean I'll ditch the first.
Ryzen doesn't have iGPU, so he had to be using a dedicated GPU of some sort.
> Just bought Intel Optane memory this morning, installed it in my AMD Ryzen DEV machine and it works perfectly without any issue. Interestingly, according to Intel, this is not suppose to happen - you are expected to use both of their latest processor/chipset to run Optane memory!

How are you measuring Optane working? AFAIK it's supposed to improve boot times and application load times as it learns after a few times without configuration. Are you observing this improvement or does the Optane just show up as a regular storage drive?
Some number of years ago I wrote an mp3 decoder for a game I was working on. It allowed us to put hours of speech onto our 16Mb N64 cartridge (yep, it was quite a few years ago).

Knowing we had to get a mp3 license I contacted Fraunhofer who decided that a console game required a hardware decoding license which ran at $10,000s (if we had been a PC title it would have been a few $100 as I remember).

Legal got involved and decided they would license Rad Games Tool's Miles audio (since it already had a mp3 license and they could take any heat from Fraunhofer!).

Unfortunately for me legal then made me completely wipe the first implementation, carefully optimized N64 RSP vector code and all, and do a clean re-write of everything. We didn't use a single line of the Miles code, but they got a license fee and we had happy lawyers.
I'll never understand the knowledge of Picasso, Einstein, or Bezos either. AI does not operate according to principles of magic they operate according to the principles of computation. They can be understood, but how much value does it bring?
Story of CashKaro
Sorry, I was unclear about the "bet". I don't mean they shouldn't take risks, more that in this case it would have been easy to hedge the bet -- launch a bigger expandable box at the same time.

In their recent discussions around the upcoming redesign, it sounds like they didn't realize they were making a bet at all. If they had, they should have monitored it more closely and been a lot quicker out of the gate with the redesign.

A possible defence is that Apple had other priorities at the time, and wasn't paying full attention to the Pro. But it's mystifying why the world's biggest company by market cap can't walk and chew gum at the same time.

The MacPro is an awesome machine. Everyone I know that has used one loves it.

It's funny it hasn't been more successful, then! Although I certainly believe you. It's definitely possible for it to be popular with a niche while failing in the wider market.
Finally. PhantomJS has a competitor now.
Try telling iTunes to download a large number of files from iTunes in the Cloud, and then popping open the little downloads popover and continuously scrolling it up and down. Still as of iTunes 12.x, the downloads would fail to progress! (Not just, like, the UI failing to update; the download tasks themselves would fail to read(2) from their sockets, and so the TCP streams would get blocked, causing the server to stop sending.)

I think this is a rather uniquely-bad behavior among modern macOS apps, though; I have a feeling it's because it's the only one that also runs on Windows, and the required portability layer is "a bit" legacy.
I also built a Ryzen machine for development. It's great when it works, but I've found that Ryzen is unstable on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04). Every once in a while, I get kernel errors like

NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#9 stuck for 23s!

which requires a hard reset. This behavior doesn't occur on Windows, though, so if you use Windows for development, you should be good.
There's still hope!

In Yorkshire, UK, my mum used to make that pretty often. Of course it helped that we had Rhubarb growing in our garden.

Nowadays I live in Finland, and I was recently pleased to see some wild rhubarb growing in a local park. I'm planning on harvesting some of it later in the summer.

Building a PC is fun but there's stuff that can go wrong.

In case you are not familiar with what can go wrong, here there is a vastly incomplete list:

- You can damage the PSU by selecting the wrong voltage, you might have a PSU doesn't supply enough wattage.

- You can buy incompatible components that won't work with each other.

- You could have static electricity, and you won't notice until you turn the computer on and you hear a little spark sound... that means something died.

- Causing a short circuit by leaving a metallic object lying around (e.g: a screw)

- Getting a thermal problem by applying the thermal paste wrong or connecting a fan spinning to the other side.

- Crushing the processor by installing the heatsink with too much muscle.

- Connecting light cables to pins that are not for lights causing unintended behavior.

In short, there's a lot you can get from building your own system but it can also go wrong... and when it does: no warranty, you are on your own.
Valencian/Catalan is actually one single language, although you can use either term to refer to it.

There are two main dialects of the language (eastern and western) but their division is by geographic borders, rather than by administrative divisions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_language

There is a nationalistic political movement called "Blaverism" that states that people in Catalonia and in the Valencian Community speak different languages, but their reasons are political, not linguistic.

Are you running Linux VMs or were you able to get a OS X VM running?
I wonder if how much they have baked into IPv6, and what I would consider hard-to-read addresses (the hex form anyway), the "special" addresses etc, are providing a barrier to adoption.

They should have just expanded the address space in v6 (5?) I reckon (and maybe any warts from history that needed cleaning up).
Well Intel didn't have to because they had peak performing chips for a long time. But now AMD will give Intel run for the money again. Intel focused more on getting better yields(margin) and power related features like much lower idle power and more C, P states, which makes sense if you're at the top. They focused on other loose ends than performance.
Maybe not stupid, but very slow on the uptake. If they'd been taking the temperature of the community properly, they wouldn't have been surprised when the reaction to their new MacBook Pros was "okay, whatever, but what about the desktops?"

I couldn't agree with you more, I believe these days a developer can gain more with a Chromebook for portability, and a powerful desktop/cloud VM for the beefy tasks. You could end up paying the same (or even less) as a high end laptop, but you could gain more power and benefits this way.
GT840? high-end? laptop high-end is nearly astronomical and still costs premium. I paid 2k for above + 32GB DDR4 + GTX980M.
Lapis is an entire web framework, OpenResty is a relatively low level interface to nginx. Lapis is an abstraction on top of OpenResty's Lua interface to make developing large web applications much more manageable.

It has nothing to do with MoonScript. MoonScript generates speedy code.
To be fair to the writer, though he failed to mention it, core count is really what matters for the kind of work load he has (in other words, many many services running simultaneously, none of which is particularly demanding; there's just a lot of them and they all idle at > 0% CPU usage). Intel chips with comparable core count is far more expensive than the Ryzen equivalent.

That being said, you're absolutely correct in that this is far closer to a PC build log than to being a justification for why Ryzen is better than its Intel competitors. I too was expecting some "crazy assembly insights". I also do think it "reads like a rewrite of the wiki over at /r/buildapc".
The nvme ssd drives are several times faster than the best sata ssd (sometimes 10x). Although I'm not sure you would be able to tell much difference. But loading up large virtual machines frequently might be a use case where a difference would be noted.

There are quite a few benchmarks and real world comparisons on YouTube that seem to indicate significant improvement in some workloads.
The score you linked to showed the Ryzen as 26% faster than the i7. The Ryzen 1800x has a CPU mark of 15403 vs 12242 for the i7. I do remember reading that the Ryzen IPC is about 5% lower vs an i7, so I'm assuming whatever metric CPU mark is using takes into account the extra cores.
There seems to be sizable chunk of people who agree (myself included).

At this juncture (1.2 and rather successful) is there any feasible way for the maintainers to switch the nomenclature to something a tad more literal/expressive?
It's a shame that 2/3rds of Apple's desktop offerings are constrained by that watt budget. iMacs and Mac Minis run on laptop-grade hardware, as I understand.
For me it brings a lot of benefits: easier to find parts, consumer-level parts pricing, and lower TDP.

I'm running a dual Xeon as you mentioned, through buying ex-fleet parts at less than half price of new ones. Several issues I experienced:

- Lack of motherboard options. I had to purchase new motherboard at a high price since the ones that support dual Xeons are either in an incompatible form factor or simply out-of-stock. I settled with Asus Z9PE-D8 WS with an SSI-EEB form factor.

- Outdated BIOS. I had to order a new, pre-flashed, BIOS chip since the BIOS that came with the motherboard refused to boot with the CPU and memory combo.

- Hard to find suitable ECC RAM. The motherboard only supports limited RAM (speed + latency) configs, and finding those is becoming harder. Availability looks seasonal at times.

- Needs capable power supply. One thing that people often look past is the need of a proper PSU. I had to upgrade to one which support two CPU power connectors.

Well, for the past 4+ years "arbitrary kernel code execution through mounting a malformed FS" has been considered a major security issue, and a lot of effort does go into finding and fixing stuff like that through fuzzing, code audits, static analysis, etc (for both Linux and Windows). I think it is fair to say that this class of vulns is declining in frequency, with the rate of discovery having peaked somewhere within 2008-2012.

What about multiple locations? I started my post with this:

"Southeast USA including: Texas (Austin and San Antonio), Virginia (Arlington and Dulles), Alabama (Huntsville), Florida (beach east of Melbourne), South Carolina (Greenville), Maryland (Annapolis Junction), and possibly others, all ONSITE."

Currently you have me as Austin. That is just 1 of 8 locations. I don't really see how I could fix this. We actually are hiring multiple people at multiple sites. I suppose I could post 8 times, but they'd probably get marked as dupe posts due to being identical except for the location.

Scaling Up to Your First 10M Users – AWS Talk
Agreed, I'm not seeing any protection against simply using fake photoshopped pictures of eyes.

It appears they're envisioning an encrypted microkernel which digests the bio data, generates a public key, and pushes it to a blockchain filled with similar data for the whole world population. So I suppose they could be planning to build some kind of signature into the microkernel itself so that outgoing messages sent from a patched or fraudulent process would be noticed. So I guess that could be used to prevent against the even simpler attack of generating the digests of the biodata, as opposed to the biodata itself.

Still, it all seems pretty hand-wavy.
To all those who supposedly "show they care" by "keeping in touch" with "folks from around the world" (as a reason for explaining why FB provides an important service). Whatever FB's lofty mission statement is on the inside, the actual service Facebook is providing is estrangement, as mentioned in a comment below.

Here is a very small way you can show you care, which will be actually productive and hopefully makes you rethink that statement. There is someone in your life who is technologically inept. Help them with their technology related problems for an hour a week. Pull your hair out in frustration at your complete failures (which will definitely happen initially). Persist with it until they learn something. Continue for a while until you realize they have mastered it so well that they are now teaching you something even you didn't know.

In about 6 months, ask yourself if you would rather show that you care about others by actually helping someone out, or if the better way is to press the Like button like Pavlovian dogs. And then come and comment on how useful you think FB is at that point.

I am not saying it is absolutely useless. I am just saying that FB's engagement would dwindle down in proportion to its actual importance. The funny thing is, anyone with a modicum of common sense can see that FB has been designed to be like an entertaining movie, designed to appeal to our most base instincts (the well studied combination of narcissism and voyeurism). You will not watch such movies 24 x 7 x 365, would you?
Sure those things are potential mis-haps, but they're pretty easily covered by watching a few guide videos. You could apply your argument to the operating system ... sure you could pay someone to administer it for you under warranty, or you could just learn things as you go and you'll be fine 99.9% of the time.

Ogg and Vorbis hadn't yet discovered one another back in the N64 days, had they?
Given that the N64 was released in the North America in September 1996 and that the first stable release of Vorbis wasn't released until May 2000, it's very probable that OP couldn't have considered/used Vorbis.
Not really, the code mapping is very straightforward and generally has no performance degradation. There are some language constructs that are implemented in a way that can create anonymous functions in order to convert statements into expressions. Future versions of MoonScript can do a better job to eliminate those. If you're aware when they're generated you can avoid them by writing as you might do in Lua. Realistically though, the performance difference is negligible in comparison to all the other things that might happen in your average web request.
IME many programmers think having to parallelise your code by hand is a tedious and error-prone part of programming that increases complexity for silly reasons and distracts you from the application domain, and a failure of programming language / compiler technology.

But for the rest of us: does Signal have group conversations and multi-device support?

I think if we are going to replace Whatsapp we need to provide an alternative that matches the features people use and feels better.

Telegram does all that and more.

Not good enough. If some bridge is decades old, I don't think it's fair to expect some firm that is the descendant of whatever firm designed it so long ago to be liable, especially when all the people ever involved in design and building it are probably dead or close to it.

The real fault is with the government, and especially the elected politicians who don't run the government properly and get these things inspected and fixed (and worse, run on platforms of shrinking government). Why aren't they ever personally liable? They should be.

Maybe we should have a system where we no longer have secret ballots, and instead your votes are recorded, but in an encrypted way so that only a proper impartial investigation board (perhaps at the federal level) can have access to it, in cases where it's decided that the voters for bad politicians need to be punished personally for their contribution to the problem. So when the government is sued, everyone who voted for those politicians gets to pay. I really don't see why those who voted against the negligent or criminal politician should be on the hook for it.

Steve Jobs - Apple Is Software - YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEeyaAUCyZs

Apple is a Software company, You just have to buy their Hardware first to use it.

Apple lately has been too focused, or too worried about the Design of the product and lost sight of its main direction.

To more accurately phase it, Apple is an Ecosystem company. You use its Software, Hardware and Services across all ( most ) segment.

I'd argue Mac Pro should be the one of those segment, ( representing 1% of the total Mac Sales, and more like 0.1% of Apple's total revenue ) where they should make it impossible for average consumer to come up with a similar spec Machine with similar price. It doesn't mean Apple is making a loss, it is more likely Apple is just making very little profits on it.

The Apple now, or the Mac Ecosystem now is very different to 20 years ago. iPhone manage to pull in Lots of new developers and Pros.
