No, sorry, this only further confuses. First of all neither Worcester nor Manchester are in the Boston MSA, so they're not great examples. They are in the larger designation -- the CSA -- which includes cities as far afield as Providence. The whole reason CSAs exist is to help us make comparisons that do include cities that far outside of the core urban area.

Unfortunately for us, the OMB hasn't defined a CSA for San Antonio-Austin, so it's hard to compare here, but almost certainly the CSA of Boston-Worcester-Providence would still be larger than San Antonio-Austin. The whole reason the OMB would define a CSA for San Antonio-Austin is to let us make these kinds of comparisons in a fair way without having to guess where San Antonio ends and Austin begins. (I wish they would!)

Additionally, these are not arbitrary designations. The whole point of MSAs and CSAs is that the OMB is trying to come up with reasonable ways to compare regions that aren't arbitrary. (I mean, the conditions they decide are most important are arbitrary in the sense that they could choose some other conditions, but that's kind of a silly way to say that it's arbitrary. What slurps up what, in other words, is well defined.)

All of this is just to say that there are many ways to compare regions and, again, the worst of all of them is using political borders.

There is a movement afoot in St. Louis to combine the City of St. Louis and its surrounding County. Nothing about "St. Louis" actually changes the day after that measure passes (if it ever does), but St. Louis would jump way up in city rankings. The results of an 1876 law that set St. Louis's borders where they remain today is a very silly way to decide how big "St. Louis" is.

Edit: Another way to say this is that using political borders is like resolving the question by taking a vote. Which city is biggest? Let's just let the people vote! MSAs and CSAs exist to help us make better comparisons than that.

Edit: yet another way to say this is that your follow-up comment notices that it's hard to make comparisons because it's hard to know where one thing ends and another thing begins and which things should "count" in comparisons. That's the whole question and it's why we should use MSAs and CSAs. They're at least trying to answer those questions in a way political borders don't even address.
I guess commute doesn't need to be minimized, it just shouldn't be too long. I cycle to work which takes me 20-25 minutes and I enjoy it. It gives me a break between work and home so that I can separate the two.

I've worked on ssd based systems and while we over-engineered our system due to such fears we never saw any device getting anywhere close to its limits and only once did I see an SSD have a media problem (i.e. failure to read data previously written, after a rewrite of the data from raid no more issues came from that ssd).

This was on enterprise SSDs but I generally believe that the fear from SSD media is somewhat overblown. You do need to care about the wear you will put on the SSD and engineer things so that you are within bounds but the SSD makers and the firmware essentially assume and spec for these random writes.

In fact, I truly doubt that unless you can as an app know in advance what data is going to have the same lifetime and is better written together and what data needs to be placed in different places there is very little that you can do to make things far better.

When you know the lifetimes you can use new features like stream support that is going into newer SSDs in order to help both sides work better. You will get longer endurance and also better performance (less random erase cycles slowing your reads and writes down).
View the source yourself if you're unsure, that's why I included #1.

Furthermore, yes, that is what I'm saying. Would you rather not use it and have no idea when Chrome extensions update? You can't disable auto-updates. So if you want to go that route be my guest.

The cost isn't what hardware does the most work. It's what time was spent creating the content. Of course they have the choice whether to serve it or not, but don't mistake the hours put into writing an article with the milliseconds used to serve a request. You're not (not) paying for the latter.

While I'm not a fan of 60h per week, I'd disagree here. If you work 12h per day you'll still have several hours in the evening and the whole weekend for your partner.

From my observations, relationships don't depend on how much people work, they depend on how much of their free time both partners like to spend together.

Just as a first approximation, I think other knowlege workers who have enough money and clout to be in control of their schedule whole work as a good model for optimal number of hours spent working over the long term. For example, look at doctor's who have their own practice. They (hopefully) like their work, and can determine their own schedule. How many hours do they work? How do they structure their time?
AMD's APUs are actually more powerful than almost all Intel iGPUs. The only one that's competitive is Iris Pro 580 with the eDRAM addon, known in a previous incarnation as Crystalwell (not all Iris Pro 580s have this).

The tradeoff is that the CPU half of AMD's processors is kinda bad - they are all derived from either Jaguar laptop processors or Bulldozer, they desperately need to be refreshed with Ryzen. So Intel has the better CPU but a mediocre GPU (unless you splash out for Crystalwell), and AMD has mediocre CPUs but a good GPU...

AMD's non-APU processors (FX, Ryzen, TR, Epyc) do not have iGPUs however, same goes for Intel's lines of server chips (X99/X299/etc). This is something that is only in "client" processors.
Kind of unrelated, but I was thinking about these companies making SaaS as browsers extensions for a living.

I mean, when you see the whole add-ons system from Firefox being reforged, it just feels extremely unstable to build a business on this. What if tomorrow, a new browser arrives, get a huge part in market shares but has no extension system so you can edit the content/DOM of pages as much as you want... You are screwed.

People will simply have to drop their idea that reprehensible behavior should get you shut off from society, or that disproportionate earnings of money / status are only reserved for people that conform to a behavioral mode. Obviously it is all unrelated, but prosperity preaching has warped society's expectations.

His $100m cryptocurrency raise will go off without a hitch. When the revenue event is front loaded like that, they will have no need to appease advertisers or conform to any behavioral model to continue doing business.

Of course his lawyers didn't comment, the sale will happen by the end of the month, and nothing else money wise will really matter.

The point of cryptocurrency is that the state couldn't even levy any sanctions against his accounts, even if they had the justification.

So thanks for the informative article.....
It was unclear to me when reading this if this was meant to be a true history or an allegory for something that was actually happening in the science world at the time – as in "imagine if the scientific world had reacted to surgical sterilization the way we're reacting to X right now." But there's no context here as to what X might be if that's what he intended.

Where exactly is the moral violation here? Businesses utilize leverage all the time. Nobody is stopping New Republic from publishing but that doesn't mean that a company needs to keep paying them.
In open source, it's lovely, and fairly rare, to see someone pick up the ball on a quiet project, and run with it to completion without getting frustrated or losing interest first.

Geoffrey Booth — with big assists from Simon Lydell and Chris Connelly — has really gone the distance here, spending a full year working on drafts of CoffeeScript 2.0 to upgrade it from a language designed around ES3, to make it as ES6+ friendly as possible.

I'm surprised that the Boston Marathon bomber cover was not brought up in the article as well.
A rewards credit card costs the business your shopping at 2%, or all the way up to 3.5% for certain cards. Then you get network fees (from Visa, Mastercard, etc) and another few cents and tenths of a percent tacked on by the businesses Payment Processor, and poof, there goes 3% of their income!

Its no wonder so many businesses don't take credit cards or debit.
I specifically said "at least here."
The article is about people giving their time away of they are working more than 40 hours. Right now I place a higher emphasis on job advancement. While it might be possible to do it in fewer hours, more hours as long as you can hang definitely help me be better. We have different priorities (I just got out of a relationship and am looking more towards my career at this time).

I am not giving away my time. I am making a calculated decision to put more effort at work.

Maybe it is also that I love what I do for work and work in a highly competitive field So there aren't exactly OSS projects that fulfill that scratch the same itch in me).

(I also run almost 40 miles a week so please dont bother with that old trope and am hoping to increase my mileage this month.)

I have one of these x62's in the i5 version, bought it prebuilt. The screen was quickly updated with the LED backlight mod as well. Honestly, coming from an x220 and x230, this thing flies. Highly recommend one. I also have an x61s that is nice, but the resolution and speed is not modern enough for me.
It's really a judge's responsibility to decide if they're breaking the law in this case. DNS registries can't possibly decide if Gab.ai is actually guilty of what they claim given the incredibly vague wording of the requirements. Surely Twitter and the Guardian could be argued to also meet such a vague standard to be banned.

It's quite obvious what's going on here. There's an organised effort to erase people with right wing views off the internet by people with extremist left wing views, who simply describe anything they don't like as "hate speech".
I may have missed this discussion but if any place will have it first it most likely will be the tech communities. And may even involve cars being converted, and some sort of smart network technology. Instead of every card attempting to do this independently.

Domain registrars are providing a utility service, they are essentially "common carriers". Imagine if your phone company revoked your phone number, or the postal service refused to send you any mail because of the content of your communications? What if the DMV revoked your license plate because of a bumper sticker on your car? Domains are (at present) a key linchpin of freedom on the internet. If ICANN allows registrars to terminate contracts for political reasons, that's a huge blow to freedom online.

We've built a system where guys like this are the ones most able to succeed. Why are we shocked that they do?

Martin Shkreli, Travis Kalanick, this asshole- plus a hundred more behind them getting VC funding despite a complete lack of morals or ethics. In the short run, they win. In the long run, they're toxic and their companies flounder because of it. But still, the VC money flows towards these guys.
Between jobs once, someone gave me a pity job. It was hourly, 4 hours a day. I did job search stuff the other hours of the day. I was completely crushing it with those 4 hours.
It's probably a really good arrangement for an employer if they somehow convince people to do they dicking around on hackernews off the clock. 4 hours of pure output.
I attended the "See, Think, Design, Produce" one-day session that Tufte put on with guest speakers Jonathan Corum, Bret Victor, and Mike Bostock (back in 2014). It was a great set of lectures, but TBH, felt that Tufte's talk was the least engaging/practical/applicable.

I'm definitely a bigger fan of Tufte's books than his in-person lectures.
amputations too high up, or accidental amputations that mangle rather than cleanly remove, are more likely to make EMG decoding harder. If the axons are too damaged during the amputation they'll wither and die, so the signal's lost; if the arm is removed too high up, it becomes more challenging to isolate existing neurons that went all the way to the fingers.

In both cases, muscle movement itself will swamp the motor neuron signal in ways that make demuxing very challenging.

I'm not dismissing it, but unless you have power over someone involved, there's no reason to pretend you don't have an opinion until after the trial, or to unquestioningly accept the verdict. In this particular case, there's enough evidence already available to draw a nonbinding conclusion. Of course you should still pay attention to any new evidence or testimony in the trial, and don't dismiss the result if it disagrees with your early conclusions.

But it's ok to think OJ was guilty, it's ok to think Arpaio is guilty, it's ok to have an opinion about Julian Assange even though he hasn't been tried.
Definitely an exaggeration. This EWD is meant to satirize the position of people who argue against certain development approaches that might yield higher quality software by comparing them to the fools (who actually did exist) that argued against sterilization. And then he takes it further.

Ironically, of course, the DoD did fund the research and development of several programming languages and tools that would have offered precisely the hygiene Dijkstra would like to see in software development. Specifically I'm referring to Ada. Which was rejected by the industry (for various reasons, some legit and some not).

My guess is that kids are different than adults. You don't want kids sitting bored in class because it's easy for them. It's awful (speaking from experience here). They either turn inside and do nothing, or disturb the class. You don't want the smart kids to learn less, you want them to learn more
One of my past employers wouldn't pay me what I felt and showed was fair market value for my skills and what I do for them. So I counter offered to work 4 days a week for the same salary.

Your website is beautiful, name could be better because I'm not sure how to pronounce it so hard to tell friends. Unfortunately idea/product itself isn't something I can give much feedback on, I'm mostly a developer so I didn't realize this was a problem people had, I guess I can kind of understand some professions (lawyers, creatives) could really use this though but it's a tough sell getting people to change their ways unless it dramatically makes things better for them. It's hard enough making tech people do it in my experience.
Why should a comparison be restricted just because the best Lua programs-contributed fail to use multi core? (Tail wagging the dog).

If someone who didn't know Lua wrote those programs, then you'd complain that the programs weren't written by an expert.

If Lua wasn't included then I think you'd complain about that too.

I do mean the latter - A and D both using different versions of C.

Running both C side-by-side cannot work if C is incompatible (that is, even if both versions are api compatible, but each assumes it's the sole C being loaded - and therefore, do some static/singleton crap that might get clobbered when loaded again).

If you want actionable, I highly recommend Jean-Luc Doumont's "Trees Maps and Theorems." It's like a way more practical, actionable version of Tufte's work.

Does the increased time before going public stop you from working for a Unicorn?
Slack just raised a bunch of new money and its CEO had this comment about it... "It’s a strange world. If it was 10 years ago we’d be public by now," said Butterfield, but going public is not what unicorns do these days, so Slack isn't doing it."

I'm trying to organize my thoughts around how to think about the increased time that unicorns are spending as private companies.
I have definitely done that in my mind. I don't agree with all of the items in 12 factor. The principles that drive those 12 factors are ones that I follow, just not the specific implementation that is presented. I don't know that it distills down to 4 or whatever number, but I'm certain it is less than 12. For example I don't think that it's always appropriate to store config in the environment variables. But the principle of not embedding config in code is one that I follow.
There needs to be a website cataloging and calling out these sorts of people and their behaviors so that they can never escape from posterity. Call it "Silicon Scumbag" or something. It seems to be a trend that quite a few SV CEOs after striking it rich turn into total human garbage, especially in their treatment of women.
