> It's a way for them to get the MIPS architecture out in the open.

Most computer architecture courses of the last 25 years have already been based on MIPS (or any MIPS-like or -light adapted version for the course). That's because the MIPS ISA is simple, regular and elegant, and the original MIPS is a pipeline simple enough to be taught easily and nevertheless able to present most important problems and solutions that a CPU and a pipelined CPU may encounter.
it's getting there... see the Travis CI config for getting bazel for this repo specifically, or, https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go has go-specific instructions
Wow, you really have a lot of things mixed up here. How can you make such strong claims about socialism when there are so many factors involved, e.g. we did not see socialism implemented without a dictatorship. Also, why didn't you try to compare deaths caused by capitalism.

> Meanwhile one of the United State's biggest problem is obesity due to being so prosperous.
This blows my mind. You think that obesity is due to prosperity, when all those poor people who cannot afford decent food and physical exercise are the ones who are getting obese.

Please, consider refraining from posting before trying to understand correlations and connections between multiple factors from which you draw such strong (and very misleading) conclusions.
My connection is too poor to actually read the article: Can it generate welsh (Compound? Not sure) names like the classic "llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch"

I feel like preserving open tabs across a crash is not that hard from a technical point of view. The thing I'd be afraid of is more that something would decide (for me) that I don't want to preserve tabs.
Interesting. Where do you usually advertise remote positions, Chris?
Nice to hear somebody out there is using ctmg. I never bothered making packages for distros other than Gentoo, but ctmg is quite useful so maybe I'll do that.
Quite possibly. From what it sounds like, Shannon's job with Bell Labs was kinda his form of UBI. They didn't really make him "work"; they just kinda gave him money, and told him to do what he felt like. That lead to a bunch of impressive things, given the resources he had access to.

Granted, a lot of that came after some of his groundbreaking work on information theory, which is what earned him his fame.

Wow
That's good to know. I'll add support for clip.exe with the next pass version. Send an email to the mailing list to remind me?
As far as I can tell it's all about depth-first vs breadth-first.

I find the same people that like to open lots of tabs also prefer tabs that open in the background.

Why?

Because the browse breadth first. They'll be reading something and in the midst of it, see something they want to dig into, and open a new tab while continuing on the page they're currently on. This repeats a few times, and then once done with that content they go the next level down. Then lather-rinse-repeat. This causes a queue of pages to form (and BTW, for you programming newbies out there, this is a great way to visualize how recursion-less breadth-first tree traversal works).

I tend to be much more depth-first. When I open a tab, it's because I want to start exploring what's in that page. So I always have my browser focus new tabs (and screw you, Chrome, for only making that possible through an extension...). Then I'll pop back out and continue. In that model, you can just throw tabs away as you're done with them.
Not if it was an NJTransit bus.
I agree with your general assessment of HFT, but if the article is correct, this fund doesn't fit that mold:

> said Lun, whose computer holds trades for an average of six days
Not true. On most days I visit <30 open tabs (out of hundreds). I'm happy to wait for a page to load when I visit an old one, and I'd really like my browser to unload pages I'm not actively using (but give me an override).

Tabs for me are like much more convenient bookmarks.
Given his current setup, you have a good point.

However, with a setup that includes say, his refrigerator, there'll be more than enough load to ensure no collected energy is ever "wasted"
You need a big enough reactor that a particular type of extreme dismantling produces reasonable amounts of fission-fertile radioisotopes; the bright side however is that the bigger such reactors are the less time "long enough" tends to be. And of course there's the time one might have to wait before beginning to mine them from the scrap...
This is nice to hear. I use Firefox as my default browser with the tree-style tabs add-on, and just yesterday I replaced ABP with uBlock and Ghostery with Disconnect out of frustration with how slow things were going (~30-50 tabs open). The slow startup time hasn't been helping (come on, its not even loading the tabs until I click them, what's taking so long?)
Got it. Thanks :)
Deep-sea learning.
I wonder when it will be considered unethical to eat food harvested by back-breaking stoop labor?
I haven't evaluated tbh but practically for the medium sized data that I tend to work with. Code converts from datasets to lazy maps then back to datasets to do most the processing (to take advantage of Clojure's code functions) so there's more than likely more efficient algorithms to do the same stuff albeit at a higher complexity.
Well, d'uh. Pay me a livable wage and I'll do rounds around a forest and shoot any trespassers. It's already in my blood :D
I've been a part of a few standards/interop efforts. Postel's Law and my experiences indicate those efforts are non-starters.

I also participated NHIN's first competitive interop whatever it was called. (We were sub to Northup Grumman. Our team won. Yay. That recognition plus $3 will get you bad cup of coffee.)

The secret to interop is to ignore the standards. No one else cares, so why should you?

For inbound, just capture whatever is sent, use web scrape style tools to extract the bits you care about. For outbound, manually create payloads that work (maybe with SOAP-UI and then tweak), turn them into templates.

If you're a monster org like Boeing or Toyota, you can rule by fiat. Everyone else has to fake it.
$50M Investment Round for Leap Motion Finger Tracking Technology
Before we instituted the Glacier backup, we discussed whether or not a few days or weeks time would be "good enough" for our needs. We decided it was.

So I totally agree that before picking a backup system, one needs to evaluate what the recovery is going to be like, and whether it will be good enough. For example, when recovering from the cloud, how long will it take to transfer all the data through your Internet connection? BackBlaze's overnight restore via FedEx could be a critical feature in your recovery speed.
Every time I've tried using a proportional font, my mind doesn't want to see it as code. I can force it, but that gets uncomfortable, so I switch back after a short time. Even if I take the time to adapt, that means switching fonts in all my dev environments (between home and work, 7 OSes, 1-4 editors used in each). And a lot of my hobby code is data format conversion, emulation, etc, so I'd need to find a nice way to format the data tables.

There's a good-sized category of things that have a bit of an adoption cost that I'm assured is worthwhile, but that I don't see a really solid reason to commit to. Proportional fonts is one of those (for me).
With Chrome, I use "The Great Suspender" extension.
Same here, if I start needing to scroll through open tabs it means I should immediately start closing some.
I'm deeply saddened that people think there even is a clear universal definition for the word Art.
It is my main browser on Desktop. But after version 57, when Tab Groups extension (formerly Panorama) stops working, I am not sure whether I will continue using it.

So after all the smack talk of exclusivity and screening to find the right people:

A year-long membership for $180, the highest available fee, lets customers skip the waitlist and have more control over what's shown on the profile.
People already push that narrative, just with factory farming. Ascribing some moral position to strangers' diets is a pretty gross thing to do.

They changed their add-on API and are in the process of deprecating the older one which allowed for radical UI changes. That's probably what he was talking about.
This is broadly my process, too.

I'll do a search, and background-open all of the results that seem responsive as I skim them, to read in depth once I think I've found "enough". Most of them of course get closed quickly upon ... uh, tabbing to them, because they weren't as material as I'd thought from the summary.

Then, sometimes (read: often), I'll recurse.

This way, in my experience, I tend to find more (as in quantity) relevant info, from which I can sieve quality of info, than if I were to serialize my search, going depth-first.

YM, as always, MV.
I totally agree that the install model that most apps use right now is mostly horrible, despite MS's efforts to clean it up for the past few decades. But registry cleanup is pretty rare, in my experience. I haven't had to do anything in the registry since Windows 98, probably, although I have chosen to.

However I was comparing the newer package manager and Windows App Store install models to Linux's package management, since that is the most comparable model. Both installation models are closer to the Mac model, where an app package gets installed to a single location. Universal apps are containerized, and don't use the Registry at all[0]. The PS package manager installs packages into a single location, where you can pretty easily remove them using the package manager, or manually, if you want.

I'm really glad that people at Mozilla use ridiculous numbers of tabs too. Lazy-loading of tabs is the reason I switched to firefox. I'm not sure if it's still this way, but Chrome used to load every tab on startup. So even if you only had 100 tabs, you were looking at 5+ minute startup time. God-forbid that any of them were Youtube, or you'd have to go through and pause them all.

I've just updated to Firefox 55 to test this, and the improvement is ridiculous. I hope that Firefox focuses more on power users in the future.

I'm curious what the author uses to manage all of these tabs. I use Tab Groups, but I think they won't work in a few Firefox versions so I'm looking for alternatives.
Yes, this is the most important aspect. Functional, stable, maintained, consistent, and nicely integrated applications.
My point is that your suggestion is unlikely to have helped prevent this specific incident or others like it.

A guild or professional association keeps quacks and idiots out, it doesn't solve the problem of experienced competent people occasionally making subtle mistakes.
Being able to sell the system is irrelevant as long as the system will last indefinitely (or say, 30 years, which approximates the same value anyway). Everything but the battery is solid state and should last indefinitely -- or certainly more than 8 years. I already excluded the battery as a consumable to calculate the 13% rate of return. But one thing you are right about is the other parts will fail eventually, dragging the return down as well.

Solid state parts can last decades though. The best way to calculate the rate of return would be to actually get accurate numbers for lifespans for all the parts and amortize them. It's probably greater than 4.5% and lower than 13%. Regardless, at near zero risk, even 5% is a great return these days, so it's totally worth doing.

Since you like the stock analogy -- a share bought at $100, that earns $10 a year, and that for whatever reason we confidently expect to keep earning $10 every year for decades, returns a 10% rate of return. The fact that the stock now sells for $50 makes no difference, as long as we believe we are right and the market is wrong about the likely future earnings.
Yes, it did? Boulder seems like a nice enough place to live. I was pointing out how preposterous it is to claim that the Bay Area is a "cultureless void" because of tech bros and left-wing politics and then claim that somewhere that's the absolute epitome of those things is better.
LOL I've been running Firefox with 5k+ tabs since 2009.
Did it and still do it a bit.

None of my friends or coworkers grasp why. I sometimes don't either. At least if my train is late again, and doesn't show up for hours.

I guess a big part for me is where I came from, which is underclass. Expanding my radius allowed me to overcome pay gaps because I was able to find more companies who would hire me even with my soft skill shortcomings, which always showed my underclassyness.

Did multiple of these arrangements with 1h45 each way 5d/w, then 4h each way once/w, an exhausting 2h10 each way 4d/w, then 1h30 each way 4d/w. But on each job, I was able to renegotiate after some time and gotten more remote working days.

I do feel the wear and tear of it, but I've gotten exposure which in turn infused me with soft skills. Plus the reputation of the teams I've worked with opens more and more doors for me. Overall I've increased my income by 500%-600% and am in the top-10-decile income group of my country. The only reason I don't use that income now to move closer to my workplace is because in the meantime became a father and the kids will grow up in a quiet town with gradparents who have a farm.

And because of my exposure, I can now work 4d/w remote with highest pay I've ever had for work I'm overqualified for.
I think this was posted earlier. But some companies really just want a statistician.

Very few companies are actually using their data scientists as scientists. From my experience.Except for when I worked at a large hospital. We had a research board, and had to be certified to study Humans CITI. But beyond that..
but one of the central problems that women face is that an unexpected pregnancy can be life altering, and it is usually not good news.

Fair enough. I was admittedly looking at it from a male perspective where a vasectomy is basically sterilization (albeit a form that can be reversed, at least on some occasions). Nonetheless, for an agent of the State to use the "authority" granted to him/her to push something like this strikes me as very wrong. These aren't just random people off the street, they're prisoners who are having their freedom used as a bargaining chip.

Also, and not to be glib, but there are other ways to avoid becoming pregnant, including at least one that is (biblical reports aside) 100% effective.
I'll do you one better: combine super comfortable van dwelling type vans, autonomous vehicles, and extreme commuting. Can I fall asleep in my van in my driveway 2 hours away from Manhattan but program it to start driving me in about 90 minutes before I wake up? And then perhaps take a nap again on the way home.
In a lot of ways, my open tabs are my to-do list. Some of them are things that I need to do, some are "I want to read this article when I have time", some are long term research.

I've tried doing things like bookmarking things to read later, or saving them to Evernote or Instapaper or whatever, but I never went back and actually read them. Ever.

So, this workflow actually works for me, even if some people would consider it unwieldy. It actually works pretty well, until Chrome starts getting annoyed. I probably average more around 120, but I've got a couple of projects happening simultaneously right now, so I'm up around 150 at the moment.
This is a good explanation of "how" the people in charge of these ordinances came to their judgment...

but not a good explanation of "why we must" have these ordinances.

Boston Common and the Public Gardens had a massive number of Pokestops. Last summer, the benches were overflowing, easily many hundreds more people in a small area than there ever would be.

And to my knowledge nobody cared or complained. And this is arguably the most expensive part of the city, with home values of 10M and etc.

Good on the judge for this ruling.
Why is it that people who never use a service ought to be forced to pay for it?
Sorry, I'm a little confused by your comment. You saw a few physicians with 50+ years in practice retire upon the Epic rollout? Maybe they were of old age and near retirement?

And also, how does that lead to your conclusion that they are a "farce"? Do you mean to suggest that we would be better off without EHRs, or do you specifically have issue with the implementation of EHRs as is right now?

I'm surprised by you calling them a "farce" and causing "widespread misery for patients and doctors" because my understanding was that the clinical data collected by EHRs permitted improvements in the quality and delivery of care for patients within an institution.

I will admit that - as mentioned elsewhere in these comments - lack of interoperability is a huge issue which drastically reduces the effectiveness of EHRs.

But even though it isn't a perfect system -- 1) It is an improvement over the previous form of paper records, and 2) The industry is iteratively moving to resolve these issues.

There are a lot of reasons for why these problems exist such as misaligned incentives, etc. but we have been trying to address this through both policy (e.g. the rise of accountable care organizations and how the ACA experimented with physician reimbursements). There also exist middleware solutions that I believe would help ensure that this data is not silo'd, and in doing so improve interoperability.

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding something but if I am, could someone please point it out? I'm not saying that EHRs are perfect -- they have a way to go (both in UX design/interoperability). But, they were a step in the right direction and I am not convinced that they are as bad as you claim they are (though I recognize their limitations). What am I missing?

EDIT:

I've also heard from physicians and patients that because EHRs easily allow a doctor to read up on a patient's notes from their previous visits, it can actually improve their relationship because the doctor can go into the room for subsequent visits knowing something (or in some cases, everything) about the patient and speak to them with that information in mind.
There are a lot of people who use tabs as bookmarks. Seems like a good way to keep the RAM industry going strong. Someone once told me (seriously) "I need at least 128 GB of RAM otherwise I can't keep my tabs open." But does everything you were interested in over the last X weeks or months really need to be loaded up? No, and if you use it like that then it can't preload stuff.

I think the main lesson is that bookmarks don't work too well or people just don't use them. If nothing else, make the bookmark display show newer bookmarks rather than the same old ones from four years ago. And maybe start preloading if they are opened regularly. Merge two features together, maybe add optional other organizational features for example similar to new tab screen.

The tricky thing is that there are a lot of things that are potentially supposed to happen while a tab is open. The browser is now it's own OS, and it may be very difficult for developers to use important features if tabs (processes) only _look_ like they are running.
Redlining Never Went Away
Typically, when you do column selection, the lines are identical to the left of the cursor or you're selecting the end of the lines, which both still work in a proportional font.
Me too. How could I ditch Firefox?! It's been with me since 2004, through the dark days of IE, and still perfectly usable when compared with johnny-come-latelys like Chrome. I've never liked Chrome, and I don't trust Google. Long live Firefox!
Yeah... then the flip: When will it be unethical to eat food harvested by companies that don't employ people?

You can spin it in both directions... on one side, those poor people who do back breaking labor... on the other side, those poor people who can't get jobs that are done by robots.

Interesting time we live in.
Also, 150 isn't really that many, resource-wise. A modern computer should be able to handle that trivially. So even if my use case was unreasonable (I obviously don't think it is, obviously), there's no good reason a browser shouldn't still be able to support it well.
I use them instead of bookmarks: with Tree Style Tabs, I can pause a task, collapse it's subtree(s) and come back later with the complete state intact.
Your friend gave you good advice.
Standard Notes :) It's an encrypted notes app I work on. Available on Linux and almost every other platform. https://standardnotes.org.
Do you have saved sessions with lots of tabs from chrome that you were able to import into firefox? Hoping there's an established method :)
I think you are buying in too much to the city's legal arguments, which by definition are hyperbolic.

The locations of Pokestops and gyms in Pokémon Go derive from crowd sourced locations used in Ingress, Niantic's earlier AR game. These locations are generally in publicly accessible places. The geofencing on pokestops is also not that tight - there is never really a good reason to stray off of paths in a park to reach a Pokestop. You might have to walk on the grass if the Pokestop were, say, a statue in the middle of a field, but it's a park, that's what you do.

It's worth noting that in cases where pokestops are located in particularly sensitive locations, like inside hospital wards or at church altars, Niantic has indeed de-activated or re-located them.

My main point is, people trampling flowers are acting badly, either that or the flowers are growing in a place where people are allowed to walk ...

The location in question is a public park that's normally quiet, but people decided it was a good area for Pokémon hunting. It's a public park, thats well within their rights. Ita not at all obvious that Niantic CAN do anything in a case like this, nor SHOULD they be expected to.
It will make sense when it's able to generate music in popular genres, gaming and commercials.

That isn't really true.

There are clear differences in semantics between most programming languages. C is not just a different syntax over assembly: It has a type system, and obviously restricts what you can do (e.g. C abstracts over the registers)

A higher level language can be translated to a lower level one, (hence why Haskell can exist), but saying it's a purely syntactic transformation is extremely reductive.
This is completely right. None of those tabs are doing anything, they're literally just holding a URL and waiting to load it when the user switches over to that tab. It's not a tab, it's a bookmark.

I've got a gazillion tabs open on Chrome right now and guess what, they're all actually open.
