I still have a Atari 2600 clone from Brazil with some very nonofficial looking multicartridges for it. Seems to be late '80s though, long after Atari stopped making them.

Amazing planes. Bombardier used one to ship a locomotive to Ireland a few years back. If I remember correctly they were a little behind on the order, but they needed to get at least one locomotive delivered so that crews could start training on it.
In a similar vein, there used to be a Clockmaker's Museum in Guildhall in London. I believe it's been moved to the Science Museum now. I had a similar experience as parent - didn't think I cared about clocks that much, but ended up spending hours in a one room museum.
Might be eating too many carbs, which spike blood sugar, and tend to produce the symptoms you mention.

Still, don't need to fast all day to fix the problem.
I think I was in the 10th grade when Scratch really made programming click for me. I had tried BASIC a few times before that and gotten nowhere (I was very envious of kids who could actually program...). Syntax seemed like magic, and I didn't understand how programmers knew what was and wasn't valid code. Scratch made syntax something real, and helped my understand how computers broke down lines of code.

I feel that most people who know programming really underestimate how hard syntax is for beginners! You can maybe walk a kid through typing in a canned program in other languages, but the scratch "building blocks" environment makes it way easier to let kids explore and go further on their own.

Edit: 10th grade is correct - I was able to go on the scratch community website and find some sketches I had uploaded 9+ years ago!
The OLPC's Pixel-Qi screen (listed in that Wikipedia article) was fantastic when in its black & white mode. It looked like e-ink and refreshed at 60Hz. Apparently the company died in 2015 though :(
The line will blur pretty quickly, I suspect.

I look forwards to being able to just dock my phone into any monitor and have it be my computer for the day.
Yes, there is.

I haven't looked into the exploit, but if the attack uses AMT's http(s) interface, you could also simply access the AMT port(s) from a remote machine. The service simply allows one to speak to the local ME.
What's your theory about the blood sugar?

I have the same issue. Hovers around 100 when not eating. What's weird is it drops to 85 within 20 minutes after eating a meal. I'm not sure what that could mean.
OpenJDK is GPLd, so anyone can fork it or continue development on their own, although they might lose the right to use the trademarked word Java to describe it. But they might not be able to support future Oracle Java versions and features, because Oracle wouldn't release the source for those under a liberal license and would probably sue any clean-room reimplementers under the "copyrighted API" legal theory that they got upheld against Google.

The runtime behavior (GC, JIT, etc) would also diverge, since the optimizations, memory layout, etc. are not covered by a spec you can try to implement exactly. Today complex programs often take JVM implementation and optimization details into account (and sometimes can or have to be optimized for particular JVM versions, since e.g. the available GC algorithms have changed several times).

Finally, some of those OpenJDK folk are Oracle employees, and they would leave. Even if IBM and RedHat and everyone else united against Oracle, which is uncertain at best (see: IBM's history with Apache Harmony), it would take a lot of new money & effort being poured in just to match Oracle Java development every version.

And even if the new free fork was as good as Oracle Java, but not significantly better (technology and/or support wise), the market probably wouldn't shift. Today very many companies run Oracle Java and not OpenJDK Java on their production servers, even though they don't have Oracle support contracts, because there's a perception that Oracle Java is better or more stable.

There are various other problems I can imagine. Maybe Oracle isn't obligated to keep providing the TCK for new Java versions to OpenJDK and its descendants. Sun licensed it to OpenJDK, but maybe Oracle could find a way around that, or just stop publishing the TCK at all and make sure it was in practice really hard to be 100% compatible with future Java.
>Why, again, are manufacturing jobs the one type of job we're always supposed to be maximize, even relative to the pool of all other jobs?

Because the other major alternatives are

(a) service jobs that are a zero sum game of people inside the same country of circle-servicing one another,

(b) jobs like scientist, software developer, etc, that by their nature require few people so wont be increasing anytime soon either (and eliminate other jobs)

(c) UBI -- good luck with that.
a business is a business and a person is a person. there are no "not quite a person entities" (those are businesses) and there are no technicalities here that transform an economic exchange into a personal one.

AKA: no, Ross is not Silk Road. And, yes, the Silk Road is a business that took in millions if not billions.

Simply put: when there is material benefit or an economic exchange, it is a business, whether you are selling lemonade, drugs, guns or even personal services. There is no loophole.
I agree. I've purchased two Dell XPS 2-in-1's (one was an i3 and the other an i5) in the past few years, and I would never go back to using a plain tablet device. The amount of additional functionality that you can use out of the box is staggering. I can do everything from running desktop/server software demos for customers to folding them and using them as a tablet when relaxing and browsing Hacker News.
Does the "Rust standard of quality" for these crucial crates include "no unsafe code"?

"Vec" currently needs unsafe code, because Rust doesn't have the expressive power to talk about a partially initialized array. Everything else with unsafe code is an optimization. Often a premature one. Maps should be built on "Vec", for example.
Im trying to add messaging to a platform I'm building with a friend, this looks like a good potential fit. Im currently using Twilio IP Messaging, but the fact I need to implement the UI and doesn't supports attachements/pictures is aslo not great. Anyone has tried other good alternatives? One of our main requirement is that we keep control of who can be added to a contact list based on a transaction.
I would be curious to know which things you're referencing. Because I'm looking at it right now and it mostly seems fine. No icons or anything seem overly large.
One thing I don't see here: It's difficult to integrate libs into e.g. parallel when they don't derive all the various things (Copy). Will a goal be to aim for deriving standards for libs looked at?

The basic difference is that Netflix still feels like a small company, in terms of bureaucracy and management overhead.

At my level (Senior SWE, promoted to Staff SWE), Google was a place of secrecy verging on paranoia, endless meetings, and insanely huge amounts of process. You had to really work hard to get things done across organizations. Most people were just a cog in the machine, cranking stuff out. The meetings were huge, because all stakeholders needed to feel represented. Google was my first big company, and I'm sure others are worse. But Google was kind of a shock.

At Netflix, most groups develop their own process. If you see a problem, you go fix it. If you see an opportunity for improvement, you just do it. There is a lot more independent work, and a lot more small collaborations, especially across organizations.

I think most of this comes down to the Google "fungible SWE" concept vs the Netflix "Freedom and Responsibility" culture. For a concrete example, I had a bigger impact at Netflix in my first few weeks than I did in my entire career at Google. Within my first week at Google, I was still taking "new employee" classes and trying to sort out how to use the several different code repos my org used. Within my first week at Netflix, I'd identified and fixed a small regression in our FreeBSD TCP stack that was costing us 3-5% CPU across our CDN.

The one thing that sums up the different cultures is business travel. At Google (at least when I was there), you needed to find airfare and hotel that was at or below the median price paid by other Googlers. If you didn't, you needed to get your VP to sign off on your travel expenses. At Netflix, you book things yourself, looking out for the best interests of the company, and submit your expense report & get reimbursed 48hrs later.

The food was much better at Google, though. And I really miss TGIF, eng-misc, and memegen.
Historically, manufacturing jobs paid quite well while generally not requiring expensive education and training beforehand to get hired. I do not understand why you perceive them to be low end and worthless.

Further, you dismissing Detroit as evidence of a large scale trend and comparing it to me saying a single bakery failed while then citing your father and grandfather as evidence for your point of view goes well beyond ironic.

I also see things as interconnected and complicated, yet I am finding you incredibly difficult to engage. Your tactics look an awful lot like bad faith arguments. Maybe you just don't see the conflict inherent in your own maneuvering. Lots of people don't. But you are being incredibly contradictory here.

Best.
you are right, whoops
I'm a big Star Trek fan. The alien races in Star Trek are metaphors for different factions of Homo sapiens.

Given that context, I view Star Trek as a reasonably plausible view of future humanity. The Star Trek universe certainly has problems, and is regularly threatened with existential crises. There are many new terrible things in it, but there are also many new beautiful things. It's sort of a greatly expanded version of life as it is today; the inhabited universe is larger, more diverse, and as a direct result, there are, on the whole, more options and more possibilities.

So here's the question: Given the option, would you choose to live in today's universe, or the Star Trek universe?

You don't get to choose which individual you are in either scenario, it's a dice roll. You could end up a North Korean peasant or an Albert Einstein (or pick your own role model). You could end up an admired Federation leader or a Borg drone.

But, if you could choose the present day or the Star Trek universe, which would it be?
I'm not sure that is possible and I question if their actions were illegal. Investing is risky and when actual returns did not beat the guarantees, the investors decided to invest in riskier assets to attempt to make them whole. However I'm not excusing their behavior and they are clearly to blame. There was also questionable behavior but I'm not sure how illegal it was.

And if their actions were illegal, I wonder how many people were involved and able to be prosecuted. I imagine there are many, from investors to politicians, and thus an expensive endeavor for the city and state.

I think the best thing is to prevent this from happening in the future by monitoring and exposing these shenanigans early rather than before it is too late. Cities and states with pensions should take note of Dallas' problem and act accordingly. Contracts should include clauses for penalties and recourse so as to allow civil lawsuits.
To be fair, I use iphones and I get ~<2 days of battery and I upgrade once every three years or so.

https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/1855 is the issue tracking indexing file uploads. Patches welcome if anyone wants to add this into synapse; it'd be pretty easy and fun (although obviously wouldn't work with encrypted rooms). https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/synapse/re... would be the place to index the file and chuck its contents into the existing full text search tables via something like https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/synapse/st....

My point is that Riot is FOSS, and if folks feel features are missing, please help us implement them O:-)
It is neither because of the software not because of the hardware; it's because of the brand recognition, which is obviously higher for Apple than for Samsung or Nexus.

It's the same for cars; I wouldn't be surprised if VW or Mercedes or even Toyota are able to keep more customers than Renault or Fiat, just because the "faithful Mercedes customer" is a thing that people talk about and the "faithful Renault customer" is not.

A friend of mine swears that the reason acetaminophen is added to opioids (like hydrocodone) is so that you cant abuse the opioid without being poisoned by the acetaminophen.

If true, it's alarming that the way to "prevent abuse" is to poison the patient.
Another commenter pointed out that company culture is most likely the underlying issue with people not being honest during their post-hire interviews. If that's the case, then the culture is already damaged.

Maybe they could begin to repair the culture with the suggestion box, by asking why everyone is so hesitant to critique during face-to-face interviews. That alone should show that they're making an effort, and acting on any of the suggestions will further the cause. Basically, use the anonymous suggestion box to get rid of the anonymous suggestion box.
My biggest gripe with the crate situation is that some of them require nightly. E.g. everything coroutines AFAIK.
Ah cool, thanks for the link.
Do you have a tumblr/twitter/instagram where you share examples of this aesthetic? I'm also a fan.
Are those really alternatives in this context? The linked study highlights

>Low-dose aspirin, commonly defined as 75–325 mg daily, is used for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction (MI).

The whole purpose of aspirin here is its blood-thinning properties and the effect this has on cardiovascular events. Do ibuprofen and acetaminophen have those same properties, or are you just calling them alternatives in terms of pain relief or other applications?
He obviously meant to type "aspirin" as the first word, but that was hilarious nonetheless.

The Ocean Cleanup Raises $21.7M from Marc Benioff, Peter Thiel
Fun fact: there were no computers involved in the making of 2001. They were too expensive at the time. All of the monitors in the movie were actually back-projected film screens. All of the wiredframe 3D models were literally wire models, painted white, filmed and then projected on the screen.

Using back-projected screens meant 2001 had flat screens which still look modern today --as opposed to the bulbous CRT monitors used in Blade a Runner and Alien.

An "open" platform is still a platform with lock-in. The only thing "open" does is allow other vendors to decide if they want to support that platform too. But, for example, you can't take a web site and use it on a platform that doesn't support web pages (e.g. you can't browse the web on an AppleTV).

> Problem with Apple and MS is that they use the later on purpose.

There are really significant downsides to open platforms. They're harder to build, develop much more slowly, generally have a big issue with multiple implementations not actually behaving identically (just look at the development of the web for a plethora of examples), end up being design-by-committee which usually ends up as a worst-of-all-worlds design, etc. Companies like Apple and MS build closed platforms because that ends up being hugely better for their users. They don't do this out of a desire to have lock-in, lock-in is just a natural consequence of using closed platforms.
IME it is not actually priced in because advertisers, particularly brand advertisers, do not have a good way to link impressions or clicks to conversions, particularly when they happen offline.

And even if you have online conversion metrics, if you only get 1 click per 10k impressions, and only a fraction of those convert, you need to run close to millions of impressions on a given domain before you have any statistically significant idea of whether that domain is going to generate more conversions or not.

And that's if you can even figure out what domain your ad runs on in the first place after it's been through enough intermediaries.
> Moreover, this sort of growth is exactly what you would expect given Apple’s iOS monopoly: iPhone users very rarely switch to Android, while a fair number of Android users switch to iPhone, which means that even in a saturated market Apple’s share should grow over time.

I'm confident that this isn't true. Economic mobility and movement goes down more often than up, and EVERY single person who has changed their phone plan goes cheaper (eventually into Android). Every vendor (ask anywhere from Sprint to ATT) knows this downgrading (into a superior android ecosystem) is close to 100% of the time, that his statement is an indication of how utterly ignorant or purposefully misleading the whole article is.

Ironically, the link embedded in that quoted sentence links to

For now it's just that, remote management authentication bypass. Whether the ability to power up your machine at night and install Windows Millenium Edition for the lulz qualifies as "real damage" is up to you I guess :)

Anyway, you can't do anything Intel's management software doesn't normally support because this would require gaining arbitrary code execution on the ME and it's not what this exploit is about.
Android can do bidirectional file transfer quite happily, you just need a "file manager" app. My Zenfone even had one preinstalled.
Super interesting... I definitely wonder how VR/AR might change the way we think about architecting spaces in general.

It is kind BS that it's cheaper to ship something from china to across the street.
It does very little.

As usual with AMT, there's a lot of noise, but these vulnerabilities to date have only been exploitable with activated AMT. With activation you can patch, etc.

And as I always point out in these stories, if Intel AMT freaks you out, Google "absolute software embedded bios".

I was all in on tablets when they first started out. I've had the original iPad, the Motorola Xoom, the HP Touchpad, and many more including convertibles like the Asus Transformer. I really wanted tablets to be the future and replace at least my desktop, but all these years later it hasn't worked out.

I've still got two tablets, and iPad mini that I mostly use to read either PDF or pictureful rulebooks for table top games that won't work on my Kindle and a Dell Venue 8 Pro that mostly goes unused and I kept it around with the idea of working on a good tablet UI for Linux, but haven't had time or really the desire to do that.

When my wife's Galaxy Tab died, rather that get a new Android tablet or an iPad, she opted to just upgrade her laptop to a convertible(ZenBook Flip) that mostly gets used in plain old laptop mode. Even my kids who have had some kind of tablets for some time of their lives have started preferring "real" computers, especially daughter who is the oldest and gets how much more she can do on a real computer.

I think for me What it boils down to was that there was nothing that tablets really did best. If I'm going to be sitting on the couch doing some web browsing or watching a movie, a keyboard is nice to have for the web browsing and for both it's nice to be able to side the laptop down rather than holding a tablet for log periods of time. And when I do need to be more mobile, phones handle that aspect just as well and maybe better if I need to be able to put said mobile device is a smaller-than-tablet-pocket. I think in the long term, the extent of tablets will largely be some kind of pseudo-tablet convertibles like the aforementioned ZenBook and probably fewer like the Transformer of the Surface Book and most tablets that do stick around with be Surface like holdouts that can't more easily be converted into real computer mode.
