The purism laptops do, but afaik, they are the only ones.
I know this is not what you asked for but...

I've set up several people I know with a Raspberry Pi 3 and they're all happy with them. It comes with Chrome and Libre Office so that's covered for you.

You can get one (if you hurry) with a 375gb hard drive, power supply, and a very nice case and cables from WDLabs for around $100 and set it up to boot directly from the HD so you don't have to worry about SD card corruption.

I tweaked the desktop UI a bit on those I've set up to hide most of the Pi's educational and programming tools to make it easier for them to learn and navigate but everyone I've set up had no problem making the transition from Windows to the "PIXEL" desktop the RPi team has developed.

I'm still using an old "Mac Mini" but when it dies I will make the switch too. I mostly code web apps and don't need high end graphics or tons of memory and the speed difference in loading apps and running them isn't enough to think much about.

With the money you'd save you could take you mom out for a nice dinner once a month for the rest of the year or, if she doesn't like it, you can still get her a decent Win box and make something with the Pi for yourself, (like this beer brewing setup : http://web.craftbeerpi.com ;)
I suspect they just mean that there's no particular part that seems impossible from where we sit now. There's no part that is prima facie impossible (eg a square circle). The problem of course is that we don't know enough to do it yet... so we also don't know enough to know that it's not doable. We may learn some reason that it's impossible along the way, but we haven't learned of any so far.
Actually it's not possible to make it using only BotEngine. I'd suggest you to create a microservice which you'll use to suggest content from these articles. BotEngine could connect with this service using webhooks.

"As a reminder, this subreddit is for civil discussion"
Basecamp is a small company (~50 employees) that is headed by leaders who put an uncommonly extreme level of thought into how the company should operate. From my vantage point they feel like a "philosophical experiment" in technology company leadership. They also do things that many companies would never think of doing, like cutting most of their products and focusing on only one. Friedman and DHH are great thought leaders in this space, but a lot of what they do wouldn't work as-is in a larger corporation.
I've used Proxy in the past. It doesn't allow for the capture of both `object.attr_does_not_exist` and `object.methodDoesNotExist()` simultaneously, it is one or the other. I will admit that I am trying to use another lang's paradigms in JS, but only because it is so similar and it makes sense to me.

But I may be able to use Proxy just to capture object changes. I will try it out

This is an issue of eyesight, a ridiculously high DPI without corresponding scaling, or both.
I feel like there's at least three ways of thinking about problems that are practical:

- systematic (math, rule-based)

- social (history, emotions, people-based)

- creative (art, invention)

These all overlap and feed into each other because we're a complex species, but we really only ever hear about the necessity of math to "learn to think".

This comment is a huge exaggeration of the effort it takes. You don't even really need full xcode to run terminal on mac.

There's options like Netlify to use as CMS: https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms

Hugo will run anywhere.

In Linux you don't need to install the distro's packaged version; source is where you should go.

There is an added difficulty, but it's not as painful as you make it seem.
Scheme doesn't really look like normal algebra notation. Though, arguably, it resulted from McCarthy's attempt to invent an algebraic notation for general expression evaluation (the original Lisp).

Software companies absolutely need recurring revenues to survive, new users are hard and expensive to get, and you need to keep an active development team. Historically it was upgrades, you gave customers new features in trade for upgrade revenue, which was usually a great deal for all.

But nowadays that's lots harder, upgrades don't exist on iOS at all. And when their key features are already in the product, lots of users won't see the point of upgrading.

But what they and the author miss is that keeping software operating is a great deal of work. In 1Password's case just compatibility and bug fixing on 4 or 5 operating systems is likely a substantial ongoing effort. On iOS alone my guess is they have to support 3 different major OS versions at a time.

The disconnect is users who bought a version that worked on iOS 7 or Windows 7 and never paid a dime since expecting a free Windows 10 and iOS 11 update.
40x page speed increase by avoiding sessions in PHP
When I worked at Microsoft, you needed a large drive to have multiple copies of the Windows source code and prebuilt object files (which made building modified components much faster). Especially when you needed to work out of multiple branches, for example to fix a bug in a shipped version of Windows for a patch as well as in the current in-development version. SSDs made building much faster, but having only 256GB would have been limiting, depending on how many subdivisions and branches of the Windows source code you needed to work on.

I also had another machine solely dedicated to running VMs. I had a scheduled script every morning that would create a VM from the daily build of my team's branch, setup various tools on it, and make snapshots along the way. I liked to keep old VMs around so I could do a manual bisect and find out what build introduced a bug. Having a 1TB hard drive was very nice because I could go longer without having to purge old VMs.
Most depressing: "Kota Yamano, a military history blogger who unearthed the Japanese photograph, said it took him just 30 minutes to effectively debunk the documentary’s central claim."

It was shoddy evidence, but it was also trivially disproven. Just... no one cared.

I wish they would stop and reverse Mozilla Open Design. In my opinion it has made all of their design worse and uglier and probably cost them money.

MDN looked and felt great to browse before, now the headline is absurdly misproportioned and in the wrong place (not in the text column).
This is honestly kind of depressing to me. I've never used an app like Luminosity regularly but I like the idea that I could train my brain and improve my focus and memory. Neuroplasticity right? Well actually no :(

The deepest failure of Silicon Valley in politics is it's own.

Facebook and Google want to build 10,000 housing units in mountain view and it gets hung up because (i) people don't want more traffic (easy don't build parking spaces) and (ii) Mountain view doesn't want to bear the burden of building housing for the bay area on it's own (but if they built it in Oakland and drive to Mountain View there will be more traffic.)

On the other hand, Google has been staggering effective at making sure copyright laws don't apply to it. It seems like the only place where it is easier to find any pirate music or video you want than the Pirate Bay is YouTube.

As for supporting the Democrats you've got to realize that the Democrats play the role of the loser in a professional wrestling match. The U.S. political system gravitates to a two party system. If we didn't have the Democrats, we might get a real left-wing party.
Ummm... I beg to differ. Well, I will admit that you need to avoid inept people. But I assert that the key to success is for management to have clear goals for the organization and articulate them clearly. Most people, if they understand the goals clearly, will make good decisions. If everyone knows the goals, and you encourage them to "think above their paygrade" (solve your manager's problems, not yours..) and a lot of good work will happen.

Management in 3 bullet points:
1. Have clear goals.
2. Articulate your goals clearly.
3. Go to 1.

Yeah. To my mind, the problem is that learning is very individualized (not even taking into account learning disabilities!), and yet mainstream U.S. pedagogical theories really only target the middle of the bell curve. What's needed -- at least for a huge chunk of students -- is something more like Montessori, where a learner who's struggling can receive individualized attention from a teacher or a peer, and where the learner has free access to tactile/visual/whatever aids which may be overkill for most other learners, AND -- perhaps most importantly -- where the natural human tendency to sit and focus for hours at a time on a single task is fostered and encouraged.

That seems equivalent to trying to get a joint distribution from its marginal distributions. So the constraint is probably that either it needs to be convex or you need to have a prior estimation of the object's cavities which means you need to know the 3d shape beforehand to have a mathematically guaranteed measurement.
I think the most important part, especially for people who do not intend to be mathematicians, is how to apply math to solve problems. The math courses I took in high school and college were all about theory and nothing about application. These courses were taught as if it were still the 19th century and computers don't exist.

I would rather see teachers accept that computers exist, and teach students how to solve problems, even very complicated ones, using software (e.g. Mathematica, R, or whatever). Keep the theory to an absolute minimum (leave the theory courses to people who are interested.)Really, so what if you don't learn how to do calculus manually?

I have mixed feelings on it. GNOME Nightlight only exists because a number of people complained that the lack of screen-temperature API made Redshift on Wayland impossible.

On the one-hand, the feature is incredibly useful, and great to have it included in all GNOME installs.

On the other hand, this is exactly what Google and Apple did when they kicked apps like f.lux out of the appstore, and then rolled out their own built-in blue-light blockers.

If your end goal is making the feature available to as many people as possible, then great. But from the perspective of a small developer, however, "OS vendor forbade my software on their platform, then ripped it off and baked their own version into the OS" leaves something of a bad taste in my mouth.

really awesome article. I have been doing some of those things instinctively going after LTK and MTK. The ones with high search volumes are really difficult to rank for. If you use the Keyword planner tool by google it shows the difficulty of such keywords. Another thing i like about your post which is kind of weird is the length of time it took. I have been blogging on my site about 11 months. So for others they shouldn't be discouraged if they don't see immediate results.
>I never had any problems with math until I went to university, so I was merely a passive observer of everyday struggle for some people.

This is the opposite of my experience, I did horribly in math and hated it until I took calculus (which, I guess I should have taken in highschool but I tried to avoid it since the rest of math sucked.)

EDIT: just want to clarify: I did have a reasonably intuitive understanding the whole time, the earlier stuff just felt like busy work.

Awesome technique! But I cannot imagine this ever being a fast process. 1000 dips for a small model, and you cannot dip it with force.
Nailed it.

I remember "hitting the wall" in Honors Algebra II, when I just couldn't keep up with all the new things I was expected to compute: radicals, synthetic division, logarithms, etc. It was a major dent in my math confidence, which up until that point had be reinforced by being told I was "good at math".

I didn't start regaining that confidence until Chemistry, when I learned what pH actually meant. That sparked the epiphany that scale was deeply important in nature, and with that motivation, logarithms seemed much simpler.

We so quickly forget that most math wasn't discovered as some abstract exercise. But we still teach it that way, with the concepts before the applications.

Not being argumentative -- is the current system actually cheaper?

Yes, assuming the expectation that this rule would help the industry.

The author's code uses OpenBSD's `SO_SPLICE` for zero-copy socket data transfers.

http://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-5.4/setsockopt.2

Edit: apparently `SO_SPLICE` can't splice IP sockets onto unix domain sockets yet, so the presented code is kind of wishful thinking. It sounds like this is in the works though.

It seems surprising to me that people agree you can increase focus and memory through exercise but not IQ. I would think that by increasing focus and memory your comprehension scores, for example, would increase dramatically. I know if I'm distracted my comprehension is way lower. Is that now how IQ tests work?
I think the main driver of this is simply the changing demographics of TV viewers. Ever since the rise of the Internet, social media, and smartphones, traditional television viewing hours have been plummeting for some demographics.

The young and affluent are moving away from TV, and the poor and aging are not. Programming reflects that demographic shift.
When people talk about the failure of mathematics education, we often talk about it in terms of the students inability to "think mathematically".

It's impossible to tell if students are capable of thinking mathematically, however, because I have not met a single (non-mathlete) student who could give me the mathematical definition of... anything. How can we evaluate student's mathematical reasoning ability if they have zero mathematical objects about which to reason?
Not even wrong. You think New Math refers to the current modifications of common core. New Math actually refers to a series of cold war changes made in response to perceived russian scientific dominance.

If I say the responsibility of a corporation is to replant the rainforest, or to expand human wisdom, or to entertain the public with a compelling narrative of underdogs beating titans, then I'm clearly just expressing my opinion.

The question of what a company "ought to do" is obviously a question of values, not fact.

It's just tiresome to rebut opinions with "you can't prove that!" or "does the law say so?" Of course there's no natural or human law that proves blue is my favorite color. So what?
That's a stretch. There's no evidence to suggest that it will be beneficial for anyone.

It wouldn't just be laborious for those of us familiar with the symbolic notation, it'd be laborious for the new students as well.

Try a "solve for x" problem with the equation described in prose (still using short variable names and numbers though):

x added to 4 all divided by 3 is equal to 16.

What's the next step in solving this? First, because we're abandoning the conventions of symbolic notation the groupings of equation parts (terms and expressions) becomes a bit hairier. I've tried to be clear, and I think in this instance it is, that "divided by 3" applies to "x added to 4". So we know that we should multiply both "sides" by 3. I put sides in quotes because, well, now there are no sides. An equally valid prose description is:

one third of x plus four is the same as sixteen

If we lack conventions for expressing these statements we could probably come up with an absurd number of equally valid prose presentations of this one expression. This makes reasoning about the next steps much, much harder, as we first have to parse a near arbitrary expression and then discern the author's intent (and seek clarification for more complex ones).

the result of dividing four and x by three is sixteen.

By the time you settle on a subset of english for prose math specification you'll be down to such a small or specialized portion of the language that you might as well add back in the symbols and at least lose the English dependency for your work so you can collaborate with people around the world.

There's a reason a good portion of elementary mathematics was spent on "word problems", where we reduced problems like this down to their essential equations (a process of abstraction, though not described to us as such). Usually you'd see the above as something like:

Andrew has some number of apples. Billy gives him 4
more. He splits the apples evenly between himself,
Billy, and Charlie. Everyone has 16 apples, how many
did Andrew have to start with?

All that other crap is noise. Just like in the prose version of the equation "the result of ..." has no value in trying to solve the problem.
If you read the article, you'd see the criteria for which they describe it as being either an immigrant (18% of Fortune 500 founders) or the child of an immigrant (22% of Fortune 500 founders).
