> Sure, but the interfaces are more or less as described, and that's what MS has to deal with. I mean, yeah, you could make it into even more of a messy description, but from the start menu's perspective the PMIC or EC interface to power management isn't particularly important.

Now days, the majority use case is "shut the lid". If software works (hah!), then users shouldn't ever have to manually shutdown or reboot, or worry about power state at all.

Perfect world and all that.

Oh, I absolutely agree! I'm definitely an early morning sort of person, and when you're a self-employed, self-directed programmer, that feeling in the day of 'getting going', digging into a good chunk of work with free hours stretching ahead of you, that can't really be beaten.

So I do get up earlier, and start work earlier than most, but I don't start the day with news sites, or emails, or twitter or anything like that. At best, it distracts from getting the work-day going, and at worst, it introduces an awful lot of negativity. Took me a while to figure out, perhaps it's more obvious to others, but a truly 'quiet' first few hours in a day is very beneficial to me.

That's incredible! Isn't that enough to run a heat engine on? If so, does this allow you to extract (nearly) free energy out of the ambient heat?

I know quite a few who dont like the new in ear shape of apple headphones (and they swear by the old round ones). For them, Airpods will be an issue.

But in my case I'm fine with no headphone jack iff there's something like Airpods with me and I think the lightning adapter is a good compromise. I'm sure those who love their wired headphones wont agree with me. If number of phone buyers who don't care about using wired headphones (like me) is >> ṭhose who care (like you) then headphone jack will die.
It is strange that the author has not included the use of Promises and the async keyword. Should be essential knowledge today.

> Value vs. Reference — Understand how objects, arrays, and functions are copied and passed into functions. Know that the reference is what's being copied. Understand that primitives are copied and passed by copying the value.

> Scope — Understand the difference between global scope, function scope, and block scope. Understand which variables are available where. Know how the JavaScript engine performs variable lookup.

I'd say the above two are essential to know in 99% of programming languages out there.

My "little application"...

a) a needlessly uncivil thing to write

b) just the fact that you're (rudely) giving me the religion on CHECK constraints means you've probably never actually scaled a DB for high transaction volume. Once you have to start sharding and denormalizing for performance, we've left ACID territory, and most of the validation has to be in the application anyway.

There should have been huge amounts of skepticism related to his claims. Every report I remember seeing reflected a great deal of skepticism.

I'm sorry, but if anyone fell for this, they need to take a look at their relationship with media.

I should also add that the reviews for games come out rather quickly. If you're not buying within the first day or two, the amount of detail available is quite high.
I think some of that is related to wage inequalities and decades of business friendly legislation.

-- Slightly off topic --

I've got a dumb question as someone who only catches bits and pieces of crypto currency stuff by way of HN and twitter.

Is an ICO a way to put coins out on the market and skipping all the mining stuff? Does the mining still happen to release new coins or is the amount floated at time of the ICO the total number of coins that will exist for currency?

edit: added off topic note.
More details on this here:

Adding on to what coinculture said, the traditional BFT nature of Tendermint consensus gives it a lot of benefits over Nakamoto consensus such as 1-block finality and safety guarantees in asynchronous environments.

Traditionally, these BFT algorithms did not work in public settings, and only worked with fixed validator sets. However, with the conceptual invention of Proof of Stake, we realized we can use cryptoeconomics to facilitate validator set changes in a public network.

And yes, 2/3 of nodes are set to be honest. However, just in case you weren't aware, it's pretty not well known, but Nakamoto consensus also has a 2/3 threshhold due to the game theoretical vulnerabilities caused by a process known as selfish mining.
Negative exponents means its divided by. For instance s^-1 would be equal to 1/s or more formally known as Hertz. You see this every once in a while in scientific papers. This notation is convenient because it makes it easier to simplify the units.

You could probably butcher a pig. It's not rocket surgery.
The great thing is that we can use existing manufacturing processes (which we are already using) to do this extremely cheaply at large volumes. So the cost at scale will be competitive and make economic sense for customers. Our focus is on packaging this into a compelling product that delivers large electricity savings. Lifetimes of 20+ years are expected.
> Facebook using it doesn't mean anything since they are probably using it for distributed applications. Meaning the entire box (including BTRFS) can just die and the cluster won't be impacted.

I don't think that follows for lots of reasons:

- If enough of your boxes die that you lose quorum (whether from filesystem instability or from unrelated causes like hardware glitches), your cluster is impacted. So, at the least, if you expect your boxes to die at an abnormally high rate, you have to have an abnormally high number of them to maintain service.

- Filesystem instability is (I think) much less random than hardware glitches. If a workload causes your filesystem to crash on one machine, recovering and retrying it on the next machine will probably also make it crash. So you may not even be able to save your service by throwing more nodes at the problem. A bad filesystem will probably actually break your service.

- Crashes cause a performance impact, because you have to replay the request and you have fewer machines in the cluster until your crashed node reboots. It would take an extraordinarily fast filesystem to be a net performance win if it's even somewhat crashy.

- Most importantly, distributed systems generally only help you if you get clean crashes, as in power failure, network disconnects, etc. If you have silent data corruption, or some amount of data corruption leading up to a crash later, or a filesystem that can't fsck properly, your average distributed system is going to deal very poorly. See Ganesan et al., "Redundancy Does Not Imply Fault Tolerance: Analysis of Distributed Storage Reactions to Single Errors and Corruptions", https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/fast17/fast17...

So it's very doubtful that Facebook has decided that it's okay that btrfs is crashy because they're running it in distributed systems only.
Radiative forcing from global warming will be somewhere between 2.6 and 6.0 Watts/m^2 by the end of the century[1]. Currently it is around 1.75 W/m^2[2], which translates to a total increase in absorption of 223 terawatts. That's about 3x the total energy produced by all photosynthesis[3][citation needed], and over 12x the energy in all forms consumed by humanity.

So, to a first estimate, no. It's absolutely beyond what we're capable of. To a second estimate: these panels reject 70 W/m^2, so to counteract current warming we would need to cover .625% of the earth's surface in them, which is 3.2 million square kilometers, which is over 6x the area you'd need to replace all of humanity's energy use with solar power.

All in all, it doesn't make much sense.

VScode is on the cloud iirc meeeeh

It's based on Electron/Chromium and uses JS for extensions, but it's a local program in every other way. It's also fairly snappy, maybe much more so than the usual Electron app.

It does have the usual broken font rendering on Windows, as does everything that is derived from Chrome. But that's no an issue on Linux or macOS.
At least they've got their P. T. Barnum.

Travesty is a bit hyperbolic, no?

The Win10 UI works. It's stable. It's reasonably efficient at getting things done. It's reasonably compatible with people's expectations of how Windows works. (no Win8-style revamp of Start, etc.)

There's parts of it I dislike greatly, personally. (Cortana, the Settings/Control Panel split.) It's annoying and unpolished on parts like that, but I can't say it's a _travesty_.
Can you elaborate further on how the extermination of the natives was driven by industrialization. Having lived and traveled all over the west it is predominately, agrarian, large tracts given over for cattle. I believe their extermination had less to do with industrialization and more to do with taking the land.

Do you agree with this breakdown of IQ?
True, and that very long post basically says with many words: "Yes, Linux namespace (docker) isn't as secure as FreeBSD jails or Solaris Zones but security is not the problem docker solves. Docker solves a deployment problem, not a security problem."
I wonder how flat is the houston area. West indies are often volcanic islands. Meaning the high ground will probably be "safe" from flood, the lower parts on the other hands.. Somehow they're a bit used to storms so they're not going full noob on this.
Breakdown of IQ according to video ( and the goals you should make if you're that thing )

#Extroverted (friends)
#Agreeableness (intimate relationship)
#Disagreeableness (winning competitions)
#Open (creativity)
#High-Neuroticism (security)

My thoughts after watching the video are:
#To compete ( in business ), you need to be disagreeable.
#To work with other people, you need to be agreeable and extroverted.
#To be disagreeable and agreeable at the same time, you must disagree with the opposition, and agree with your own team.

Today I applied this to my startup. Since I've been more disagreeable with my software (not accepting it in its current state), I've found myself more motivated to wrestle with it and move it forward. I was stagnant for a few days, and in retrospect, I think I was just too accepting and happy with it, in its current state.

Do you think all successful people are very disagreeable ( aka not satisfied with things as they are )? They must also be very agreeable ( able to work well with others ). The way I see this duality is very cool to me, since two opposites can be harnessed simultaneously in the same individual, just with different targets.

I think this stuff is really cool. Am I being fooled/fooling myself or does this seem legit to you?
They won't pass due diligence.

I hope Oracle buys them! It would serve them right.
Cause a 2TB drive is so cheap? People wanting to run a full node can easily afford it. But if BTC stays with small blocks and becomes a settlement layer, nobody will even care about running a node in the first place. Why would I want to run a node to validate payments between corporations?

Increasing blocks increases the load on nodes somewhat, but it keeps the system much more peer to peer, as transaction fees won't end up as high.

There's no obvious easy solution, but making the network expensive and congested is certainly not a real solution.
Ellison bought sun then disparaged cloud and killed Sun's cloud ventures only to watch Microsoft recover on selling cloud to a market that no longer wants proprietary desktops..

I was very negative on Sun, but looking at Microsoft fill the gap eventually, I have to assume IBM would have made me eat my shoe if they got the deal instead of Oracle.
We have been using make for build and test scripts for docker+Node apps. I have no complaints after a couple years.
I meant the mindset seems to have changed on a grander scale. IE with respect to forcing updates on users and aggressive telemetry collection.

I understand how Microsoft is between a rock and a hard place when it comes to OS updates, as a majority of systems being up to date helps with herd immunity to prevent worm-scale attacks lack the past few ransomeware attacks, but at the same time, I hate desktop systems coming closer to mobile phones with respect to being locked down. With some updates even changing system settings, it's obvious that Microsoft no longer trusts the user, and that unnerves me.

When it comes to telemetry, I was always for it before, purposely selecting the "yes send telemetry" for any Microsoft product I installed, as I was very much a fanboy for most of my life and I enjoyed helping to make the product better. But the way they've handled the privacy aspect of it, along with not allowing you to opt out in any real way, other than disconnecting the network makes my hair stand on end.
Great idea.

You follow people if you want to see some of their posts.

You unfollow people if you don't want to see any of their posts.

If you like something, Facebook shows you more posts like that.

If you hide something, Facebook shows you fewer posts like that.

No one does any of that for you. Its entirely you. The result is your feed.

I like all my social media feeds because I choose what's in them. It's not the slightest bit difficult.

It works the same on Twitter. It works roughly the same on Tumblr and every social network.

Every single grandstanding "I am quitting this self curated feed platform" post is ridiculous in the same way.

So I spent a few days mesmerized by Jocko Willink, the ex-marine turned motivational coach until I realized all of these people are saying the same: stop daydreaming and keep doing something until it hurts and then continue some.

This is obviously survivorship bias. Everyone who has gone out and achieved success has started by starting. There is no success story that starts without this initial spark and usually a lot of hard work. But all of these are necessary not sufficient conditions.

This (again) goes down to the nature of skill: even in technical or service roles, etc. much of how we go about our jobs (sufficient conditions) is implicit and nonverbalizable; moreover because that, we can't peel our skills to their "core", to their necessary conditions. We clumsily apply an abundance of skill to get by.

This is compounded in the case of entrepreneurs by the fact that besides not being fully aware of what their magic sauce is, they can't also cleanly decompose what was blind luck and favorable timing from the moxie they brought to the table.

>>Many economists say there is no need to worry. They point to how past major transformations in work tasks and labor markets – specifically the Industrial Revolution during the 18th and 19th centuries – did not lead to major social upheaval or widespread suffering.

Nonetheless, the "economist consensus" is that there "is need to worry" and the article linked to is a (well written!) exception to the current groupthink.

This is in spite of the inconvenient fact that labor productivity is down.

As for the "widespread suffering caused by automation" - I don't see ANY evidence that it was caused by unemployment caused by "too much automation". The industrial revolution induced more suffering primarily because of new weaponry that presaged industrial-scale slaughter.

As before, the real job stealer isn't a robot, it's a man in a suit executing a trade deal with countries that still practise literal slavery, blaming your lack of a job paying > 5¢ an hour on a robot.
Banking point: Let's work this through. Start the banking day with $10. You have $11 in checks clearing and $11+N in pay automatically deposited. You should end the day with $10+N balance. You would have an overdraft because the checks are recognized ahead of the deposits. You'll end up ahead on the day, but at least one check didn't get paid and you'll have costs from that. How do I keep this from happening?
So if I filed a $0 Federal and state tax return for a couple years during grad school I can relate, then, right? I was living off savings, but still.

Seriously, I grew up lower middle class, probably right on the edge of "poor" but have managed to become quite wealthy now. It is possible, but it takes hard work and sacrifice.
I had to accept the reality that the truly high paying jobs are all obtained via nepotism and inside-track type deals and get over it.

I also had to rein in my desire to be an entrepreneur because no matter what, I could not fail, not even once because there was no "parents' basement" to fall back on.

You have to be smart, tough, disciplined, and good at investing. It's hard to work to pull yourself up and it's impossible to do it if you're stupid unless you win the lottery.
