> I would be surprised if they didn't rush development

I thought the development cycle for a new CPU was between 2-3 years (hence the 2 teams, and tick tock thing).

It's like adding new features late in the game for a webapp. Some things would be very easy (we need a new page for X). Some things would be very hard (I want you to rewrite the entire app from angular to react). My guess is something like changing core count is very very hard to do late in the game. Changing price, maybe changing overclock settings, those would be fairly easy.

So I suspect if Intel didn't see threadripper coming (which I doubt) the thread counts were set years ago. However threadripper is making Intel drop the prices a bit.
Nuclear will be capped to 50% of France production. Coal will close. Natural gas is comparatively expensive in Europe. Large hydro is almost saturated (no more mountains).

So renewables (wind and solar) will have to grow as a mechanical consequence which is good because will get cheaper and cheaper and a large park of car batteries will give opportunity for large scale demand management and therefore help with the integration of new renewables.

France has long coasts to develop offshore wind, especially if floating offshore wind becomes a thing.
Yeah.. The Netherlands will ban it 15 years before France.

They're bringing the amount of power generated through nuclear energy to 50% in the upcoming years. Chances are that in 2040 they'll be way under 50%.

> it could be just a "signal" that these governments are taking banning of gas-powered cars seriously, but at the same time they don't want the car makers to freak out.

This is also a signal to consumers, as the government casts a definite vote of confidence towards electric vehicles, which may help drive EV sales up today, instead of making them freak out over a short deadline and reject EV out of it.
Or I guess put another way for gamers, saving $500 on your CPU lets you go from 1 GPU to 2 GPUs. For a lot of games, that is going to be a pretty big performance win.
That is hilarious!

I mean, seriously. I mean, if that is how their seat belt work, I am pretty sure their "autopilot" would be out of this world/s (or take you out of this world..)

As I keep getting downvoted. Can you explain, as English is not my native language, why being pro-something also implies that the people undergoing that something are liking it?

If someone is pro-war, does that imply that the people that are part of the war are liking it?
These comments are fake, right?
Ah yeah, in that context it wouldnt be a digital agency.
There is no silver bullet.

Programming is the art of compromise. All solutions have pros and cons, the first thing to know is what things are more important than others in this situation (performance, maintainability, easy to program, etc, etc) and figuring how to deliver the optimal solution.
The premise for the game sounds really interesting and imaginative.

Reminds me vaguely of Bozo's Night Out, where the goal is to get home from the pub.
This reminds me a similar incident that wasted me lots of time -

AMD Ryzen + Gigabytes motherboard does not boot on recent Ubuntu versions because the old buggy AMD GPIO module is enabled in Ubuntu by default. You might think "hmm, they might need that GPIO module to control some other hardware". Well - that module is only required when you have a AMD laptop touch pad, sadly, as of writing there is no AMD Ryzen laptop, period. All other distributions do not have the same issue - they don't enable it by default.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1671360

Enabling the very cute Cavium security processor (which will never ever be popular) by default in the linux kernel to potentially impact everyone? That is just plain stupidity demonstrated in a whole new level.

Everyone should be happy for the fact that Linus is doing what he can to avoid such stupidities to be repeated in the future.
I am not forgetting it.

Google right now, tells me there are:

155 million "gamers" in the US

3.6 million programmers in the US

I cannot guess that the CGI industry is higher than either of these numbers.

Now very much they may pay for bleeding edge, and spend more dollars on hardware than programmers. But I am at least 95% confident there are less people in the US running a 3d program on their desktop compared to running eclipse/visual studio/atom/vim.
My dictionary's definition:

transgender: adjective denoting or relating to a person whose self-identity does not conform unambiguously to conventional notions of male or female gender.

Though I agree that it clearly isn't a gender, it does seem like a sensible option to be included in a survey when asking about gender. Maybe they should have kept the options but rephrased the question?

Edit: On second thought, I get it; you can be transgender and identify as male or female.
It's ridiculous. ICE sales will drop long before that.
> Volvo is already doing it 11 years earlier

They're not getting rid of petrol/diesel engines completely, since they'll still be selling hybrids.
It's easy to call Linus a bully, abrasive what not... But I think a lot of people in his position, who get huge amount of code to review, and some of it pretty horrible would handle this even worse.

Also I think this is his way of filtering people that can't cope with him. If you are strong-willed enough you will go over what he said and try to make your code better otherwise you will just leave. Anyway he did not lose anything in his opinion.

I fully support his style of communication and think everyone should be able to choose how to lead their personal projects. If you don't agree with the community nobody is forcing you to join it. Not everything in life has to be nice towards you. Some stuff you remember better if it hurts.
> Why so much sugarcoating? Feedback was straightforward. I didn't see any aggressive words.

I disagree; mostly because of this last part.

> you need to explicitly ask that question.

This last part feels like a demand and is too forceful. Suggestion is more persuasive then demands. I agree with you the comment you replied too is a little too sugarcoated for my taste, but the basic structure seems good, suggesting an authoritative source to back up your concern is a good idea. Especially when you are commenting on something (the data scientist may not have known about her LGBT work) outside your field to someone who is in the field (making a survey).

With that said, I get like this too when I am deep in coding. This may not be an issue for technical topics where it can be proved that x would cause a crash. But, I would handle this differently for non-tech issues that are subjective.

But... the data scientist should have been used to this at a company full of programmers. Maybe she was the first to actually comment on the content of the work.

Still, the data scientist overreacted and should have handled it better. Assuming this is more or less the details we need to know.

> I find is that in some companies people are just scared of each other that they fail to communicate.

Keep in mind OP said she got hundreds of comments on her earlier work from all over the company. Maybe instead the female data scientist was very defensive because she got similar treatment in the past.

Apparently the crash test dummy's head slips between the steering wheel and the side curtain airbag to hit the steering wheel.

The Model S also doesn't seem to glance off the test structure in that particular test the same way other cars do and instead takes the full force of the crash to its firewall. Which certainly doesn't help.

Here's the Lincoln Continental in comparison:

I think if this were a man, the HN reaction would actually be far more negative.

As it stands right now, the discussion here is basically a debate over whether or not Coraline was discriminated against in some way, or if she was fired for some legitimate reason. Even if you dispute the facts of this case, there's a potential larger issue about inclusivity and discrimination in tech there that is worth talking about at least somewhat, regardless of what you think of it.

If Coraline were a man, then all that entire larger issue goes away and this post would be nothing more than a man whining about being fired. There's nothing much worth discussing about a man being fired. If anything, I'd expect that they would be censured for acting in an unseemly way for a man.
There aren't many permanent arrangements in software.
I don't see hiring a team full-time like you would hire an individual being practical, just because different people have different needs and no group of people is going to keep exactly the same members for very long. People will come and go as make sense for the individuals and the team.

The situation you're talking about sounds like one where it could make sense to contract out work to a team, outsourcing rather than hiring a team that will likely change soon after you hire them.
Sure. So EV will not become 100% of cars tomorrow. But I think right now with the current charging infrastructure, EVs could be something like 90% of cars (or at least a very large amount). I could replace both of my cars tomorrow with EVs and be OK.

Would it mean I couldn't take it camping to the UP in Michigan? Likely, but I go every 3 years at most anyway. I would just rent a dinosaur bone boner from Hertz for the weekend if I really needed it.
This isn't matching my experience at all. Unless we're talking about junior programmers, most of who do think this way. Once their magical code breaks in spectacular ways once or twice, the smarter ones will realize their code is just as crappy as everyone else's.

Be generous with your life (from small things like hosting guests in your home, to traveling to help people survive and thrive in other countries). When you see what others are going through, you'll probably have a gut reaction. You should probably trust your gut.

Read books on leadership. It helps to learn how other good leaders coped with similar circumstances. -- and yeah, I just called you a good leader without meeting you. Just asking this question and being introspective indicates you're on the path to being a good leader.
Is there a site that tracks these initiatives? As pointed out here, the Netherlands has a similar plan, and I think Norway might. China has aggressive plans for the electric vehicle percentage.

Our ecology minister Nicolas Hulot is a known French environmental activist.
I wouldn't qualify him as the typical politician and I think most would agree.

He has been trying to influence our politics for some time now, from advising politicians, threatening to run for president unless environmental strategies get adopted, to refusing to become Ecology Minister without proper power (ecology minister has mostly been a powerless position with no real drive).

Him accepting to join the current government was a sign that he would be able to influence the country's environmental strategy. While it is probably too early to see if he will have the right impact, it is good to see him drive positive change.

While I would understand criticizing Nicolas Hulot's methods or his work at the ministry, his motivations are clearly the betterment of France's approach to ecology.

Blaming his policies as "Typical politician promise for an event to happen long after their term is over..." shows a clear misunderstanding of our minister and French politics.
I have to agree with the Dell. I have The same model running Fedora 25 with no issues.

I dismissed the slightly confused password prompt and didn't see the message again for the remainder of the day.

Yes, Canonical, while I'm typing something in Slack is exactly the moment I want to tell you whether I want to update my operating system.

The best person form the job is the person who will make the team perform at its best. Which in IT would probably mean a technically savvy, creative person with good social skills and some domain knowledge. Those would be the merits upon which to build our meritocracy.

So you can be a productive coder or a good presenter or whatever but by themselves, these are incomplete metrics. If you happen to also be an a*hole, you are probably an overall liability.

An even more useless metric, though, is your specific flavour of sexuality or your skin colour. None of these count as qualifications in any sense, and if management if measuring these things I'd be wary of their sense of judgement.

Fyre Festival: Anatomy of a Millennial Marketing Fiasco Waiting to Happen
The purpose is to defeat a generic exploit.

For example, with ASLR, it's easy to retrieve the current layout of the processus and therefore to debug it (if you have the appropriate symbols) despite the randomization. But an exploit has to be built for the specific instance of the application running. If you share the same privileges as the process, you can get the current mapping but an exploit is useless. If you don't, you don't have access to the mapping either and it's difficult to get it while you are executing code inside the process as you can't easily access the functions you would need for that.
This is true, but on the other hand the master key is never stored anywhere, so your chance of getting hold of it is reduced.

EDIT: as pointed out, no sensible system stores the master password. I do stand by the earlier 'single point of failure' point though. If you store a password vault somewhere and it goes down, or is encrypted by malware, or you lose the ability to access that storage for whatever reason you're stuck.

I've almost hired full teams for my clients a few times as a recruiter.

There tend to be a couple issues with this model. For one, what if the hiring company interviews the team and wants 7 of the 10? The team has to make a decision to either look for work where they can all be on the team, or abandon members.

The other issue is timing. The team members need to all be available at (or around) the same time, and they typically will have conflicting interests related to other offers or ventures they are considering.

I've had situations where a startup closed and the team wanted to stay together, and they'd ask me to approach companies on their behalf - almost like an acquihire without the company. You would think a company might pay each member a bit more for a team experienced in working together, as in theory they should be more productive more quickly.

From a platform perspective I think it would be pretty difficult to build just based on how to categorize teams and/or individuals. Any given search of the platform seems like it would yield very similar results.
Hiring teams will also mean they would be leaving together. If that is unplanned then your project(s) could really be in a pickle. Cheaper to have backup for individuals as opposed to teams.
You're right. If you're worried about that, then you will need to treat that data as not entirely public. The point is just that the secrecy requirements can be much less than you'd have for keeping a password.

Quite true, but I have come to realize that POSIX is mostly relevant to C developers, because how C and UNIX are coupled together.

Also POSIX is not GNU/Linux, rather any UNIX like OS.

€100k is around £88k and I know of plenty of people in roles in the UK that pay this much, both in and out of the tech industry. The examples that spring to mind are not even in London but the Midlands and the North. Every hospital, University, Engineering Company and bank has many of these positions.

* Mid-level management in banking

* Leadership and CEO roles in colleges

* Financial Controllers and Directors

* Pharmaceutical Sales Managers

* Surgical Consultants

* Cyber Security Consultants

* Senior Pen Testers

I would be interested to see comparable salaries for these types of roles across the rest of Europe.
>>The Nurture Option. A well-trained bulldog can be a much, much better dog than an untrained border collie. And one person can accomplish this training with a dog in a few years.
