No I was talking exactly about Predicate Locking.
They detect writes which conflict with earlier reads I dont think this could be called 2PL because it's only used to detect conflict.

Correctness requires that any insert into an index generate a rw-conflict with a concurrent serializable transaction if, after that insert, re-execution of any index scan of the other transaction would access the heap for a row not accessed during the previous execution.
As the article says, she could sleep 90 minutes longer. And if she drove to work, she does have a car, she could easily leave at five.

She could also get a 3200 dollar apartment where she used to live, have at least two rooms, sleep late and still have 3550 left every month.

Maybe medical insurance and such things that we europeans don't need to buy are very expensive, but apart from that it doesn't seem very difficult to live on 3500 after rent for a single person. My whole family spends less than that after rent, four people in one of the most expensive cities in the world, Copenhagen.

I must be missing part of the equation here.
Agreed, I don't really feel a pressing need for a hardware keyboard with Hacker's Keyboard available.
... All it takes is a specially-crafted attack device, introduced to the car’s CAN through local access, and the reuse of frames already circulating in the CAN rather than injecting new ones (as previous attacks in this manner have done)....

The answer might surprise you: I work for Microsoft and use Code daily.

I like it and appreciate the relentless tweaking the team has been doing to wrestle down the Electron bloat (hence one of the parentheses above), but it's not immune to it -- on my desktop Mac (a 7-year-old mid-2010 Mac mini with 8GB of RAM) I routinely have to kill it and fire up TextMate or vim instead.

On a 4GB Surface Pro 4 (which is closer to the average I mentioned) I can usually only run Edge, Code, Chrome and the native mail app before things start slowing down -- and by that I mean that every individual app is fast a few seconds after I switch to it, but swapping has begun in earnest and moving to and fro between docs, code and testing lags enough for me to start getting frustrated -- at which point I usually fire up vim inside the Linux subsystem.

As an aside, I don't have Slack (or any other Electron app but Code) installed anywhere -- I just use the most lightweight browser on any platform to get at that kind of thing.
This is the first week in my life I've been genuinely afraid for the First Amendment. Charlottesville is the one event that pushed government content neutrality outside the Overton window. Up until now, most people (or at least the loudest) treated groups like the EFF and ACLU as kind of like garbage collectors: they do an unpleasant job, defending people who say wicked things, in order to protect the rest of us from government persecution when someone we don't like has the reins. This is the first time I've seen this view being described as literal Nazi sympathizing. It's the first time when hate speech laws are considered so necessary that we're willing to give that power to the Trump administration of all people.

It's a statement a large share of poeple would say, so it doesn't mean much.

A real contender to Electron is going to have to ship a runtime or libraries that support the DOM and all of the APIs a browser like Chrome already ships along with a Javascript engine.

Maybe if we could break those all up into cross-platform shared libraries it could be done.
You made your voice heard on the technical side and to management. I don't think there's more you could've done.

Maybe you might have more leverage when the whole team of engineers in on your side (either that management accepts logical discussion or fears loosing many engineers at once).
Generally after 2 years the updates seem to make the Apple product less useable, rather than more.

yes. Particularly when you are driving to sit on a bus, then on a train where you don't have to be alert at all.
That wouldn't be exactly accurate. A free internet market would probably be the pairing of net neutrality repeal with the repeal of all local restrictions on running cables under roads and into appartments.
To clarify, our pricing page is probably too confusing for folks at this stage -- we aren't saying that we can provide unlimited reviews for $49. Rather, teams and individuals can expect costs to scale up from that baseline.

My ISP choices are Comcast, tethering to my cell phone's 4G plan, or (probably, haven't looked into it) satellite internet.

Yikes. I was quite close to purchasing and roasting some green beans in a not-very-well-ventilated cooking area. Thanks for the heads up!
I often see people pointing out that college has other pros other than just teaching people technical skills, which many can learn from other sources.

My 2 cents: College has also many cons. Apart from the monetary issue, college forces talented people to learn things way more slowly than they could, in a much less efficient way than its possible. College also forces you to go through some very uninteresting classes. Some people would argue that this good, since in the "real world" that is often what happens. I don't like this line of reasoning: that is part of the problem. You shouldn't do what you don't like, and college shouldn't teach you that. From a biological point of view, college is the most productive time in your life.

Should we really be forcing (and by that I mean: should the people hiring engineers require a degree) people to sit through slow, sub-optimal, boring classes during their most productive years, in the hope that they get used to being unhappy most of the time?

College may be good to some people, but it may also hurt a lot of talented people, who waste their valuable time and become used to the fact that its ok to be unhappy with what you're doing. It's not.
i bet microsoft acquires them
I agree with you 100%. However, the $INDUSTRY label that a company receives, is often a huge factor in its valuation. Compare the forward P/E of Netflix vs. other entertainment companies getting into streaming. Netflix receives a significantly higher P/E due it being considered (right or wrong) a 'Tech' stock with more growth potential.
Sounds like these apps are built with security and portability in mind ;). Seriously, though, this seems like an implementation issue that can/will improve over time. I can see the case where, yeah, if your users care about what your stack looks like and they refuse to use Electron apps, then sure, use something else (same goes if your users are laptop-heavy users with concerns about battery life). Some devs don't have those constraints and that's where Electron can fit in.
$699? Why so expensive?
> Yet if I want to write a desktop app I still have to write the f'ing UI at least three times: Windows, Mac, and Linux/BSD.

Vendors and developers do not have the same interests. Developers want to maximize the market for their skills. Vendors want to lock you in, and are perfectly happy to waste your time and harm your career to do it.
Except ISPs are planning to charge providers, not the users, so if NN falls and people don't see their bills increase as that suggests, good luck getting them to listen to you again.
I read Tolstoy before I tried to read Dostoyevsky. I think the sheer boredom of the former soured me on Russian literature. It's been a minute though, so I should give it another go.
On the surface, doesn't look too different from Moto Z, at least in conception of modular accessories.

On the other hand I can't charge and use an earphone at the same time which I often do during long journeys.

And I don't know how much impact will be transferred to the inside parts or the screen in case of a fall since it's not aluminium body or plastic (or this aspect is irrelevant?). But a slight fall the aluminium of iPhone SE takes one more dent or a tiny cut.

Plus, ceramic shatters on impact usually as does glass. Maybe I am missing something here. Hopefully they have done something to make it not too slippery. My iPhone SE keeps slipping and for the love of keeping the size and look as it is I haven't yet started using a case.

Though the clean and sleek look is very good. Hope it succeeds. Though I won't be waiting for it. I've moved to iOS and it's beyond my price and size range for a smartphone anyway.
> There can be provisions to ensure that people don't lose their homes to rising property taxes...Texas, IIRC, has one that allows property taxes to accrue and only need to be paid when the title of the property changes hands, which seems like a good compromise.

So it's not OK for rising rents to force property elderly owners to sell and move away, but it is OK for rising rents to force elderly renters to move away?

You can't defend property tax deferments for the elderly without also defending rent control for them. Either way you have the same problem of local residents thinking it's OK for everyone else to suffer lower supply and higher costs, as long as they aren't suffering.
Warning: this video is old, lengthy, poorly paced and rather dull so feel free to click ahead. Still, it demonstrates a reasonably complicated Swing application that looks somewhat like a native Mac OS X application. The video was put together around 2003 so the look and feel is pretty dated. But the interface is fairly complicated and it does get feedback to the customer as soon as they get data out of range, etc.

Your first point is spot on, and why I'm really annoyed by android phones these days. A simple, and still fully factual, rephrasing of their statements makes it obvious just how bad it is:

> Devices should become outdated every other year.
The Supreme Court defines 'dangerous speech'. Very specifically in fact. The First Amendment is one of the most well defined of the Amendments and has tons of legal decisions surrounding it.
Then she and other likeminded people should have organized politically and pressured the government to change the zoning laws before it was too late. Everything going on in the SFBA is the direct result of capitalism and democracy in action. I'm sorry if you don't like it, but I don't see any principled way you could object to it.

[UPDATE] Let me clarify: I can see how you could object to various aspects of our political system. I myself am active in trying to tackle the problem of income inequality and getting Citizens United repealed. But the housing problems in the SFBA are just symptoms of this much larger overlying problem. You can object to those, and I'll be right beside you. What I'm talking about is focusing on the high cost of housing in the SFBA in isolation as if it's a standalone problem that has a simple and obvious solution that the Powers That Be are just too dim to see or too corrupt to implement. That is not the case.
Where I live, ISPs tend to sign contracts with whoever owns apartment buildings to be the sole provider.

If you enjoy these challenges you might want to join my team at Google, to analyze, break, design and implement real-world crypto solutions for products used by billions of people.

Aside from short-term projects like analyzing and improving state-of-the-art password hashing or end-to-end encryption schemes, we've started two long-term that could use your help: Wycheproof [1] and Tink [2]. The former is a revolutionary testing framework that has discovered 40+ bugs [1] in many popular crypto libraries. The later provides a safe, simple, agile and fast way to accomplish common crypto tasks.

There is a reason for that and it's because the mods take a hard line on editorializing the title of the submission. It's likely done automatically by a bot though.
What I find interesting is that in AAA game development performance is treated as a budget. You can write in a cross-platform engine but the tradeoff... is performance. It's always performance.

And yet we can port games to almost every platform conceivable when the code is appropriately architected.

Somehow this reality of programming eludes desktop and enterprise developers.

> And you're advocating for, well, I'm not actually sure, but some sort of legislative change to tackle the threat you perceive because you believe it will make us safer.

No, I'm not advocating for that at all.

For the rest I would class your assessment as 'mostly accurate', but the devil is in the details.

If you would like to take this off-line I'd be more than happy to converse with you, jacques@mattheij.com.
Assuming I did my math right, your cost estimate assumes 714 hours/month, or 23 hours/day. I'm guessing that's 24/7 usage plus some rounding?

Clearly that's not a realistic usage, but beyond that I'd say 35W is a high estimate even during use. CodingHorror has some numbers for a Dell XPS M1330 [1], a laptop from 2008 with a Core 2 Duo (2 GHz) and 13.3" display.

Idle at max screen brightness is 20W, wifi bandwidth test bumps it up to 24W. Running an instance of prime95 pushes it up to 50W, but most people don't do that. Especially with hardware accelerated video, I don't think people are spending the majority of their computer use with the CPU pegged.

A home laptop probably spends 18+ hours a day off/asleep, and the maybe 6 hours of use aren't going to all be heavy loads.

Maybe not, but you should realize, that you have a shrinking core group of users, while liked Firefox because they could modify it the way they wanted - and therefore did not liked it, when frequently changes broke their setup.

It only has to support the DOM and web technologies if we decide it needs to be compatible with web technologies. That's not actually needed for a cross-platform toolkit like this.

Regarding your link, it's for JavaScript -> Android Native.

I found another project that was an Electron-compatible effort on top of Gecko. I haven't done much other searching for things based on the name, honestly Positron just popped into my head while reading the original article so I used it here.
Serverless Event Gateway
As someone who has numerous Palm/HP devices running webOS and BB10 based Blackberry Passport and is a complete sucker for hardware keyboards, let me say that this assumption is false. People don't care about physical keyboards, it is not worthy the factory/design/maintenance costs. I still love them but I understand why vendors are not investing them anymore.

If "people who make software" could really influence the market, Linux dominance would have happened between the 90s and 00s.

> if these things happen to a group with more moral nuance

It's the "more moral nuance" criteria that terrifies me though. Because that's ultimately a proxy for "I feel good / bad about this group".

If rules as usual are suspended for dealing with a group, I'm not going to rest it on "Yeah, but they're bad... right?"

Advocating systematic oppression is a concrete reason. But what degree rises to forfeiting normal rights? Does the local judge who's pretty racist qualify?

Node.js Quickstarts: local dev environments with automated cloud app deployment
The takeaway is that by tampering only with CAN messages sent by a particular system, you can force that system to disconnect from the network. For example, an attacker might use this exploit to disable the airbag, or disable the engine while the car is driving, or cause other safety problems.
It would probably help if more advocates agreed on what they mean by net neutrality. Having listened to advocates on various news networks, I'm pretty confused what they actually mean.

I would also like to see an actual bill with an actual legal definition. Given how regulations work, I would hope the authors of said bill put the actual regulations in it. I still want to see one of these advocacy groups put out a proposed bill.
The trial looks to be exceptionally rigorous and the sample size is very large. This is exciting science to say the least!

Serious (non-troll) question: How is this phone not (at best) merely incrementally better than, i.e., Google's Pixel?
I don't understand why you're being downvoted because I think your comment is perfectly valid and you are entirely correct. Nonetheless, this is the system that we have, and the housing situation in the SFBA is a product of that system. If you think it's a problem you need to change the system, not the symptom.
At least in theory these networks have become more efficient to manage. For example the fixed and mobile networks often share the same core these days. Also likely Ericsson had to promise efficiency gains when taking over the business. Last but not least as a network equipment provider Ericsson has more interest in managing the networks and maintaining a big footprint than making profit from doing so. Their core business is selling equipment.

How are you treating them? I'm using a 2014 Toshiba Chromebook 2 which is made entirely out of plastic and while it's not in perfect cosmetic conditions it's still 100% functional and doesn't show any signs of impending failure. I've dropped it on hard and soft surfaces alike from table height, and I've had it under 20 or 30 pounds of other objects fairly regularly. The charging cable still makes a good connection but I've been particularly careful not to use the chromebook or the charger as a handle for the other respectively as I've seen so many other people doing. I'm nearly three years into using it and nothing critical has broken.
In a decade or so, when they are scanning their investment portfolio and see their fat 401(k) or they are expecting their second child, they'll (quite justifiably) thank you, ex post, but at the moment, they probably just think you're a cheap bastard and/or that you're trying to screw them over somehow.

This is just adding a warping effect, and I’m quite sure that if this technology had already existed, then the same team at Google that did this research would have, with a similar amount of work, been able to circumvent this technique, too.

I mean, de-warping warped imagery is something that Google’s image stabilization software used on YouTube can already do very well. Adapting it for this purpose should be possible.
