Please correct me If I am wrong. But I think with WSL and this, Microsoft proved they are much much more superior than Google and Apple when it comes to serious system software development (they have to be, they have developed one of the most complex Kernel of the all times and maintained and improved it for decades. Yes I am linux guy too. But Widnows Kernel is extremely complex and well architectured piece of software ever written). Yes, Google does have very good applications, apple does have too.

But when it comes to hardcore system software development stuff. They are unbeatable. Emulating entire x86 on ARM? This is mind blowing.

They have pulled good emulation before too (one I think was inside XBOX).

But this is going to be serious. I would say very serious.

Extremely good battery life would give Microsoft, very good edge over Apple.

1) Qualcomm will be the winner. and so other ARM CPU manufacturer. and Intel is the biggest loser here.

2) Microsoft will hit market with this. After this they will have extremely good position to release good phone, and here we stand, I see successful future for Windows Phone.

3) From Computer Architecture perspective, the bottleneck is not memory or CPU speed. It is IO and energy. I don't know how this will impact on IO. But I am almost sure this is unbeatable from energy efficiency, and when I (and almost all people I know) buying a laptop. battery life is almost the most important aspect of it.
RPi3 has 1 GiB of RAM. The system requirements of Windows 10 (cf. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-specifica...) are 1 GiB for 32 bit and 2 GiB for 64 bit (both on x86). So I think if Microsoft is willing to, it should work, in particular if they slim down the fictional RPi3 version of Windows 10 (which I would strongly recommend).

I personally see the much larger performance regression for Windows 10 on RPi3 in the fact that at least on Windows 10 IoT Core there was no hardware acceleration of graphics on RPi3 when I last tested it (about a year ago), which caused it to feel rather sluggish.
I think the issue is that people don't want overhead. I don't want to wade through 12 lines of useless try raises to get my work done. I want to be able to enumerate the exceptions when I need them. For example, I may want to call my_function.possible_exceptions, but there is an issue here as well, two exceptions may be raised with different messages, so the class of the exception alone is not an acceptable identifier of what the exception is. Even attempts to create, say, a global register of unique exceptions would fail because of how dynamic a language like Python is.

In general readability of code has more to do with something like this:

valid_filename = filename.ends_with? ".txt"
return File.open(filename) if valid_filename

Versus something like this:

return File.open(fn) if fn.ends_with? ".txt"

The former uses a longer variable that clearly shows what it is and reduces the mental overhead of having to figure out why we're returning (because the file is valid, we're finished with this function as intended).
Quora is off
Yes, I agree that it's not the optimal outcome. (I should have not used "win-win" and instead used "win-win for some consumers.") I was trying to emphasize the individual consumer only having to pay what they were willing to pay- not making a judgement call on what is optimal.

Furthermore, The scenario you highlight is price discrimination to the first degree, where the monopolist captures all the "surplus." Economists generally claim this outcome to be "unrealistic" but it helps us understand the more traditional outcome: https://courses.byui.edu/econ_150/econ_150_old_site/images/8...

As you can see, there is still consumer surplus from a monopoly price discriminating, but at the cost of a deadweight loss.
The combinatorial problem is universal. In OOP we organize our processes using objects. Classes (collections of methods, which are collections of statements) are runtime-invariant.

In the steady-state, your process handles input as a method invocation (the main(String[]) of a CLI program or the handleRequest(req) method of a servlet, for example). In both cases, the thread associated with the input travels through your code, going deeper, then shallower, deeper again (the depth is the stack frame count).

Each time we go deeper (each time we conditionally invoke a method) we are solving a combinatorial problem across our own code-base. We are effectively crafting, at runtime, a unique program (concrete list of statements) to deal with this input. We don't normally learn OOP this way, or think of it this way, but it really is what we are doing. But there are some benefits to thinking in this way.

For example, what is an interface? Like all indirection, it's like lubricant. It decouples one set of statements from another, and makes it easier to substitute (or slide) out the second set. And a factory? Well, it produces bundles of statements that conform to an interface. But since we are strongly-typed, the factory is only selecting from a finite set. (In fact, the factory pattern is a perfect example of how OOP practitioners are doing combinatorics all the time, but we don't know it, and we do it crudely.)
Similar "institutional memory loss" happened in mechanics. On many occasions, it's not so much the theory as the fluency putting it in practice that might be lost...
The trucking industry has a very high turnover rate so by the time this is in place it wont displace those that have jobs it will simply eliminate the need to do replacement hires.
There's another kind of "lost" computer that many don't know about. Actually, I hesitate to call it a computer, as it didn't compute anything, and none of the actual machines had anything like a conditional branch operation that I am aware of...

...they're called "reproducing pianos" (also "reproducing player pianos" and "reproducers"). Not many were manufactured, due to their complexity, need for a lot of maintenance, and sheer cost.

Basically, they were a kind of player piano that strived to reproduce the actual mechanics and technique of the person who "recorded" the original paper roll. They did this by having additional tracks which handled certain nuances of the player and such, such that when the roll was played back, the piano could play in the same manner.

These player pianos were much more mechanically sophisticated than regular player pianos, and those extra tracks acted like a form of control structure for the notes being played. I believe that on some of the models meant for public performances, you could select the song (and it would "wind" itself to the song, sensing when it had located the piece), and I think they also had an auto-rewind function - but that was about the limit of their operations.

I've always thought of a CPU - in it's simplest form - as nothing more than a sophisticated and fast "player piano", with memory being the roll, the word at an address being the holes in the roll at a certain point, and the CPU being that which controlled the operations and were instructed by those same holes. This in fact was actually implemented in some early electronic computers (known as "drum-based" computers).

The history of computers and computation is a fascinatingly deep and varied field of study; I encourage everyone to delve into it a bit.

Coupled with this, I found that eating the same stuff helps a lot to maintain a calorie deficit.

The first time I ate at a calorie deficit (it was for 3 months, randomly), I ate the same damn thing every day - a cup of cereal with a cup of milk for breakfast, a lemon zest luna bar for lunch, and a veggie-melt for dinner with an apple and peanut butter snack. It was barely over 1,000 calories. A also had a Blizzard every Friday, extra large, instead of the veggie melt. I'm a 6' male, and dropped rapidly from about 215 to 175. I also felt amazing and slept like I never had before in my life. I also swam a mile 3 times a week and did a little trail running. The diet was the only thing that mattered though.

That's my anecdote for losing weight.

Find the section titled "Secure Enclave." When the SE needs to store data on the filesystem, it's encrypted with a key that never leaves the SE. Effectively, assuming the encryption is implemented correctly, data 'owned' by the SE is never available to any other part of the system.
So there are a couple of additional important limitations then, probably (beyond the speed loss of interpreting instead of compiling)

* Won't show up as a separate app on the device (so you can't test that your app icon is OK, or use push notifications, or any other apple service that needs per-app-id provisioning)

* Can't distribute through testflight

* Inconsistent iOS/UIKit behavior. iOS and UIKit enable and disable various compatibility behaviours depending on the iOS SDK used to link the native app you are launching. Obviously this will be set to the SDK that microsoft used when they distributed Live Player to the App Store. Your own application, when distributed on the App Store, may very well be built with a different toolchain version which may trigger different compatibility flags. The most user visible of this was the iOS6->iOS7 total UI redesign (old app builds retained the iOS6 look, newly re-compiled apps got the iOS7 look for everything), but there are tons of similar gotchas in every release (things surrounding table views, button tap behaviors, status bar padding, keyboard sizes, etc etc).

I did not directly witness a death until I was 44. We live in an age-segregated and health-segregated society which limits experience with death. Some people asked said they were older than me for their first death. More than century ago when death rates were greater, death was commonplace in the community.

Apple started with the Core Solo and Core Duo chips (Yonah), which were fairly fast but weren't remarkably faster than the PowerPC G5. A single core G5 iMac held up quite well versus the two-core Core Duo and thrashed the Core Solo. Aside from memory reads the G5 did quite well.

The strength of the Core Duo and Solo were in performance per watt and that's what Jobs was looking for.

Thirty years ago I thought all the Internet conversation would amount to more.

Thirty years ago (reading Marc Stiegler's book "David's Sling" [1]), I expected that the Internet would enable us to more effectively communicate, and enable us collectively to make better and smarter decisions as a society.

And... that's not exactly what happened. We've instead made it even easier to find groups of people who will reinforce our existing beliefs, and easily exclude inconvenient truths. Sigh

In today's TFR Dispatch (http://dispatch.learnthefinerpoints.com/issues/73#start) the author writes:

"I don't get to add my opinion when I write for AVweb, so my editors cut my last paragraph as excessively editorial in nature, but here's how that article would have ended:

"This crash is the second hull loss for the A5 in the last two months. In both cases, the sole occupants were ICON employees. Although the light-sport amphibian has been reported to have docile handling and be nearly impossible to spin, due in large part to Karkow’s work, ICON has taken heat for what some perceive as promotion of dangerous flying. ICON’s aggressive CEO and founder, Kirk Hawkins, is a former F-16 pilot and has staffed the company with disproportionately large numbers of retired fighter and attack aircraft pilots. When Flying Magazine awarded the A5 an editors’ choice award in 2015, the staff noted 'Icon has also worked hard to cultivate a bad-boy image with the release of videos and promotional materials that show A5 pilots performing the sorts of aggressive low-level maneuvers that have been getting people hurt or killed in airplanes for more than a hundred years.'"

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. Flying is just exactly as safe as you want it to be. Skill isn't a material factor in flight safety. Karkow was a legend. Test pilot. Engineer. Soft spoken bad ass. I went up and introduced myself to him at a conference last month, because he was a hero to me and I wanted to shake his hand. On Monday, his aeronautical decision making skills got left behind, and he flew into a box canyon at 40 feet. If you passed your private pilot checkride, you have all the ADM skills you need, but you have to elect to use them."

Quartz: Towards a statically typed Erlang
Because apple does not allow runtime code generation, then obviously the Live Player preview app won't be able to make use of any ARM assembly language binary produced by .NET. The only way this Live Player preview app stands a chance of being approved by apple is by interpreting everything. Mapping memory executable is impossible for "mere mortals" on iOS, only a few specially-blessed first party apps like MobileSafari can do that (to support JIT javascript). And the whole reason for using the Live Player as a conduit is to avoid the need for a native mac xcode toolchain to package a real .ipa app.

The section you quoted is only applicable for native builds to .ipa (which you probably still need a mac for, since iOS requires the app to be code signed and provisioned even for debugging/development modes)

Devil Town is indeed a fine piece of American Music par-excellence. But, I wouldn't read metaphor into it. I believe Johnston was talking about actual vampires living in Devil Town. Johnston suffers from some mental imbalances, and is also very religious. Devil Town would literally be where the Devil would be living. If there's a metaphor, he is talking about living in a world of sin, brought on be people who have been enchanted by the Devil.

I'm betting this is the real end-goal of WSL. MacBooks were once expensive, but high-quality, grab-and-go unixy development machines. Now, they're mostly just expensive.

When WSL matures, any commodity laptop will be a cheap, decent quality, grab-and-go unixy dev machine. It'll probably be easier and more reliable than installing Ubuntu directly! At that point, web and server devs will migrate en mass from Mac to Windows.

Then they will discover Clang for Windows and that dev tools for Windows in general are actually pretty nice. And, since they are already running their server code on WSL, it becomes much easier and more interesting to get it running in Windows directly. Bang! Huge uptick in open-source server development on Windows.
Gnome 3.24.2 Released with a Variety of Fixes – Phoronix
ConEmu with Bash/WSL has not worked out for me. I came across way too many incompatibilities, and weird behaviour. Some of these are documented in (1). That said, ConEMU was never really designed to support UNIX/VT100 terminal environments from the start. Its more of a cmd.exe replacement.

Instead, I've got a pretty good setup using Xming (2), a native win32 X server implementation.

In Bash/WSL, I set the DISPLAY variable appropriately and launch my terminal emulator of choice, as well as Emacs.

This setup has worked out to be very fast and stable for me.
