> Because it is the only OS where Vulkan is actually relevant in practice.

Vulkan has a very strong presence on Windows, which is what I focused on entirely.

> Also Vulkan tools only look good to developers that never used graphical debugging tools outside OpenGL, specially in regarding to shader debugging and frame level information

RenderDoc, one of the major graphical debugging tools, has Vulkan support in addition to Direct3D 11 & 12 support. It seems you're just entirely oblivious of everything about vulkan...

> Because you reveal not knowing about DirectX, by mentioning Direct3D, which has died long time ago

Direct3D is the 3D graphics API of DirectX. It's not dead. If it was we wouldn't be having this discussion at all as Direct3D 12 wouldn't even exist. DirectX is more than just 3D graphics APIs - that's what D3D is. DirectX also includes Direct2D (not dead, either), DirectCompute for GPGPU, and XAudio2 for low-level audio access.

Most of DirectX, though, has died over the years - like DirectInput, DirectSound, and DirectSound3D. Direct3D & Direct2D/DirectWrite are largely the only parts of DirectX that matter anymore.
Re: Money-in-politics: I used to consider myself a Lessig-style single issue voter, but now everything is on fire and during the next 4 years there's a good chance I'll just vote for anyone holding a bucket of water.

Once things are back to being normal-broken (instead of meta-broken), I'll get back on the wagon.
I don't see how your hypothetical, behind-the-scenes interactions would have affected how observers experienced the event. Again, I feel the point of the facebook post was an observer sharing her perspective, not someone claiming to be reporting on some objective, unassailable truth.

I apologize, I wasn't trying to imply that you have less right to speak than anyone else, though I see now how I worded it clumsily. My point in bringing up listening isn't to try to shut you or anyone else down from sharing their experiences. I am suggesting that seeking to fully understand OP's position, starting from the assumption that OP is a rational individual giving a true and faithful account of her reasonable reaction to a sequence of events would be a worthwhile endeavor.
No, thank you so much for this advice! It was helpful and much needed.

I may not be building a million or billion dollar market, but I figure that if money is the same, I'm glad to be working by my own rules rather than someone else's!
I agree with you about what should matter most. I'm just not convinced that it does matter most.

> ...but why should I care about that?

"Elections have consequences" and all that.

> It is the "Do you think it is fair that people with preexisting conditions pay higher insurance premiums?" poll questions that would actually lead to a law that is a better representation of the beliefs of the American people.

Maybe. But if identity politics are important enough to take priority over policy opinions, then knowing what policies people prefer doesn't really tell you anything.

Which, I agree, is very unfortunate!
You often post here as if your position inside Uber gives you enough insight to exonerate the soul of that company. But how much do you really see? How high on the totem poll are you? How many small "well, that [system/data/etc] could be abused, but I trust us"-es do you live with every day?

Edit: Just realized you're the same guy that said there were scary warnings in the UI when you touched production data, but didn't have a clue if there were actually logs, if those logs got audited, and if those audits could get the C-level fired. But you were still confident enough to assess Uber as taking security seriously.
> Street automobiles are essentially limited to 1 dimensional ribbon not 2D.

Well...a graph of 1D ribbons, connected in such a way as to approximate 2D.
14 units per week is still, if I understand correctly, two units per day. That's pretty moderate drinking, so that seems ok to me. Honestly, I drink a bunch less than that, so it doesn't seem difficult to do.
Take a look at https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/clj/cloju...

TL;DR: Clojure supports multi-arity functions (sort of like operator overloading in C++, but overloading for the number of operands, not their types)

When no default value is given, the result of reduce on the first two elements is used.
I recognize that net neutrality makes sense when the infrastructure is regulated, funded or subsidized with public money. Perhaps that's true in most places and that's why so many people believe it's a necessity. I can understand that.

Let's imagine a different scenario. I put a satellite in orbit and offer internet access to people. No government subsidies, no monopoly. Should I be free to discriminate and only offer the websites I want?

I’ve just skimmed the news on this, but from what I gather they’re asking for a reversal of that xkcd cartoon (the link for which someone will supply shortly): you can say whatever you want, but “free speech” does not guarantee you an audience. The plaintiff, AFAICT, is saying they have a Constitutional right to an audience (audience in this case being D. Trump). Or maybe the audience is supposed to be Trump’s Twitter followers, and they’re asking that their tweets show up on Trump’s feed so that they get that audience. Either seems to be quite a stretch to my IANAL mind.
On top of that I think hardly anyone has a good idea of what net neutrality is or what specific actions would be affected.

Should an ISP be allowed to throttle or block data from a competing service?

Should an ISP be allowed to throttle or block data from a politically controversial site? From a suspected piracy site? From ip addresses involved in DOS attacks?

And then on top of that what is in the actual proposed legislation purporting to be supporting net neutrality? Even if politicians make an honest effort to do right (could happen....) how confident can we be that it will actually be for the better? My main point is we need to be vigilant in the details and not get caught up in a tribal fight over a label.
NP-hard problems are quite interesting.
You speak my language. Another thing I want is an e-ink only phone. I think for sure there is a market for that type of device.
I didn't want to share the original article, but you found it :) Then again, Google search doesn't turn up many other results bragging about thousands of requests per day.
Growing yes, and profitable yes! I may not have a million or billion dollar market, but I've totally replaced my desk job income with this :)

I don't see the niche drying up anytime soon, so I appreciate this advice. I feel like I am on the right track!
The current Pope is cool with evolution. I think this is a common view, especially among religious scientists. Only some people think evolution is incompatible with divine creation.
The results are contradictory and highlight technical illiteracy of the respondents.

Another conclusion: Americans trust ISPs to protect access to the internet more than they do any branch of government.

These issues are complicated and susceptible to populist whims. It's a good thing America is not a direct democracy.
What may make sense to you and what people end up doing are often wildly different.
One thing to note here is that this isn't an out-of-the-blue abstract argument, but applies reasoning in recent cases addressing government officials use of social media outlets and the First Amendment. Obviously, Trump is higher profile than any of the officials in previous cases, but this is a potentially significant, developing area of law in the intersection of government and technology that reaches more than just Trump's Twitter account.

Some story. Some Luca.
So now my resume is invalid?!?!?!?!
"even in moderate drinkers (14-<21 units/week in men)"

(just under) 3 units/day _on_average_ is moderate now? I thought that would be 2 drinks a day, at most (2 drinks puts you close to, if not over, the limit for driving in many countries)
privacy / trade laws / 14th amendment equal protection / due process

It definitely does not feel right that some non government entity is deciding to encoding personally identifying information about you without public oversight.
Fortunately yes!! Of course it is not millions of dollars a year, but it is enough to replace a desk job income and seems stable.

Here's to hoping!!
> What if an ISP wanted to prioritize all real time traffic (voip, videogames, streaming video)?

Then they should increase bandwidth in their backbone or reduce latency for everyone.

All that prioritizing real time traffic means is the ISP gets to judge what is important on the wire and what isn't, rather than the consumer. I don't want my ISP going anywhere near my packets.- or anyone, really - except for whoever I am sending them to. All they need to know is the destination address and the fastest way to get it there.

If there were competition in ISPs, you could reasonably argue that ISP's being given sovereignty over the traffic on their lines would be acceptable. But as long as Internet service in the US is the domain of very few regional monopolies, they have too much power over the consumer to be able to mess with such critical infrastructure for their own gain.
Yes.

In the context of this poll, Q3 could've been asked first with no definition provided, and without a "back" button. Then, after the top-level question, you can start honing in on potentially-priming questions aimed at figuring out people's policy preferences and perceptions.
It's hilarious how some developers reflexively criticize things like the CMM in the abstract, and yet are unable to provide any hard data to show that specific elements of the CMM produce bad results.
It's called post docs
Yes, and Firefox is the 3rd of 4th most used browser at less than 10% (which is bad). So the subset of actual Firefox users that use NoScript is absolutely not worth supporting.
Just say no to options, and demand market level salary. I interviewed at an early stage start up in the mid west. The CEO lamented "People here just don't understand stock options" and as the first technical employee I'd be "by far the highest paid person in the company". I said "People do understand stock options, they're a gamble" and declined the offer. I don't want to be the highest paid person at any company.
But dont you see "diversity" means anti white (and most of the time anti male as well) to these people. Show me one case where something has become more diverse by adding white people, not removing them.
Would you prefer that Hacker News reloaded the page every time you voted on a comment?
The author didn't actually make a "claim". Josh Marshall was speculating, and he labeled it as such.

But there is quite a bit of support for this line of reasoning now, after the fact, actually.
Troubling Number of Young People Expect to Rely on Social Security
The forum support is simply awful. At one point the top 3 feature requests (in the pinned feature request forum) were all the ability to bookmark classes. Not a single response in any of the threads in years... nothing... it is just amazing.
> If we wanted to forcefully distribute the money while leaving the people at the top intact (let's call this "blunt force redistribution") such that the current top 10% has 10% of the wealth, then each person in the bottom 90% would receive $208,000 on average.

They would receive assets valued at 208,000$ at current (arguably inflated) prices, most of it not being cash. You might expect the biggest expropriation in US history to be somewhat upsetting to the markets.

Now that we've established an upper bound, maybe we can talk about what percentage of that money can realistically be taken and what problems it could actually solve.
Wow, ARM has blown up due to cellphones. It's starting to compare to x86 in performance to a degree.

Wonder how long people are going to keep buying thousand-dollar cellphones each year that's fueling this.
If branches live too long that's usually a symptom of a deeper team dysfunction. They haven't done a good job of breaking down large user stories into small, discrete user stories.
Yes, Denver, CO.
Meh, I come from a family of moderate-heavy drinkers. All my ancestors lived into their 90s and stayed relatively healthy until the end. Probably just lucky genes, but health nuts generally don't live much longer than people who partake in unhealthy things in moderation...
Checklists and acronyms help some people, so more power to them. But I think the central observation of most of the anti-cargo-cult articles boils down to a simple maxim of "don't use a technology unless you understand what it's bad at".

There are very few technologies that can reasonably be thought of as strict upgrades, and the few that do exist (i.e. MySQL to Postgres) tend to be incremental enough that switching rarely justifies the migration costs. Instead, many solve one or two exceptionally dramatic problems (gargantuan datasets, huge write volumes, partition tolerant master-master replication, etc.) and are willing to make equally dramatic tradeoffs to achieve it. Saying Technology X is good at Problem Y is only half the story.

In my own practice I've found that forcing myself to stop and explicitly enumerate both the pros and cons of a new technology is usually enough to get my professional intuition to kick in. And 99 times out of 100 it tells me to just use boring old SQL and move on.
From your cited link:

Quantity of alcohol taken: Consumption of 60–80g per
day (14g is considered one standard drink in the USA;
drinking a six-pack of beer daily would be at the top
of the range) for 20 years or more in men, or 20g/day
(about 25 mL/day) for women significantly increases the
risk of hepatitis and fibrosis by 7% to 47%

Pattern of drinking: Drinking outside of meal times
increases up to 3 times the risk of alcoholic liver
disease.

Okay, so my numbers were measurably low, by your citation. 6 beers daily, and at least some outside of meals.

But, in conversation, people still roll their eyes at those numbers, because they still sound like low numbers.

Regardless, this new evidence claims that ONE UNIT DAILY results in measurable health problems.
I agree. This link came at the perfect time.

A car dealership who botched a warranty repair on my vehicle is stonewalling me - once they realized the error was likely to cost them $2k - $3k, their service department deleted my file and began claiming no evidence exists that I had ever been to their location. I got the scheduling department to confirm my appointment and just found my location history for that day showing that I was at the dealership right on time during the appointment. Going to send this to the manufacturer's corporate complaints departments. Thanks for the heads up.
Are you familiar with the S2 library for mapping lat/lon into a 1d space? (http://blog.christianperone.com/2015/08/googles-s2-geometry-...) any idea what the tradeoffs would be between this and S2?
Same kind of people playing around with weaponized AI today, what could possibly go wrong.
The problem is that normal-broken is going to be more broken than it was in 2016 pre-Trump, which was more broken than in 2000 pre-Bush, which was more broken than in 1992 pre-Clinton, which was more broken... etc.

I only don't mention Obama because, despite his mass expansion of drone warfare, erosion of civil liberties, total corruption in the face of wall street destroying the economy (and in response to Occupy), flawed healthcare law, military interventionism, and botched promises (nice job closing gitmo) Bush was so bad that it basically just maintained a status quo badness throughout his administration by shifting the bad from the absurdly bad (extreme torture, geneva violations, letting entire cities sink) to just normally bad (including letting a city parch itself on toxic lead water, which is still happening by the way).

It is also valuable to consider that the more broken it gets, the harder it is to correct. The more power the oligarchs have, the more rules put in place to prevent protest and revolution. Gerrymandering has (on average) only gotten worse. The longer you wait to realign reality against neoliberalism the more traumatizing the correction is (and the more people that suffer and die under the regime, either from lack of healthcare access to being blown up by tomahawks).

I thought it was fine on Android, I played many games on it that worked well even on those old underpowered phones. It was never good, but probably about 0% of flash apps were written that targeted mobile so I wouldn't have the expectation of good.

If anything the 2016 election has shown, it's that polls are often done to influence instead of to measure.
Coursera has been the pioneer in the MOOC revolution. I have always been very grateful to them for making world class courses available to the mass people. But the recent choice of not letting someone submit an assignment without paying is a bummer. That said, they do offer financial aid, which EdX or Udacity does not. Hopefully, they can also make the forum experience better in the future.
This is most likely fake, but if it isn't, you're admitting to a serious crime. Maybe not the smartest thing to do?
Even if we assume that all of the beliefs (eg: likes/dislikes) of all actors are logical (and not just because our friends think that) we can still see some evidence for why groups conform. We are all choosing our beliefs based on what information we have. The majority of our information comes from, and is shared with, our group. All of the people in our group are working with very similar sets of information, and are therefore likely to have very similar beliefs.
Not being able to make enough money. As I lived in extreme poverty in my childhood (and all that changed thanks to online MOOCs). I now work as remote SE and I have around $10k in savings. I am graduating with robotics and AI masters degree. But I always fear that I will lose all my money and be poor again. I literally prefer dying than being poor again. The worst days of my life, I couldn't have a proper childhood because of that, it's the thing that I fear the most in this life and haunts me everyday.
Good on her for speaking up but I would postulate that minority groups gets talked over by the majority group and that this is not sexism. Should people try to be more mindful of the people around them? Absolutely, but jumping to the conclusion that it is sexism is just counter productive.

Anecdotally as a man any time I am in a group that has a majority of woman the men get talked over by the woman all the time. I grew up in a family that was a majority woman and the same thing happened all the time, I would say generally in social settings where one sex has the majority they tend to talk over the opposite sex and control the conversation. It is human nature. However we can and should be better then that but it is hard.
Interesting, I typically don't see that here in Boulder.
I always thought there were be a difference in cancer levels just never bothered researching it myself. My grand dad lived to 109, smoked a pipe pretty much all day long- every day since he started working at age 10. He's also known for drinking two bottles of scotch every day for almost as long. Though technically was a drinker because he when he was a child it was safer than the water. The double bottles of scotch didn't start until early 20s.

The thing that killed him was a slip on black ice in the morning that broke his hip leading him down to pneumonia and complications that came with it.
Every time I try to get a quick feel of .NET on Linux, I allocate an hour to it and that hour is always spent wandering around various guides on microsoft.com and never getting anything done.

There are terms like .NET Core, .NET Platform, .NET Framework, .NET SDK all mixed up on nearly every page, multiple versions of "Getting started" and "Quick start" guides, massive navigation menus and options on every page so you never know if you're looking at the latest and greatest or it's some kind of abandoned dark corner of a web property, as it often happens with corporate sites.

Yo! If you want .NET to be a massive hit on non-Windows platforms, move it off Microsoft.com to a small site, have a single version of "getting started" (and only one "guide"). Don't ever mention things that exist and don't work on Linux.

Like this:
https://golang.org/doc/

Also, have a simple downloadable .tar.gz which expands into /bin + /lib + /examples. I loved C# back in my Windows days and I moved to Linux to escape Microsoft complexities and over-reliance on complex IDEs and tools, scattered like shrapnel all over my c:/

I will not run apt-get against your repo without knowing ahead of time what I'm getting and where will it all go, so let me play with the tarball first.

I wish they used benchmark.net for measuring performance. It can give much more trustworthy measurements for such microoptomizations.
