I wouldn't just dismiss them: I'd tell them that others have every right to present what seems important to them, and exclude what seems less important -- without being accused of dishonesty.

My Chromebook Pixel LS included a Core i7 that was more than enough for regular Chrome OS usage, plus running Arch Linux via Crouton.
The DDR3 spec limits each individual DRAM chip to 8Gb (Gigabits, not bytes) - 8 individual chips makes up a full 64-bit bus, so for 16GB of total memory Apple needs 16x8Gb DDR3 chips in the notebook. I'm not sure if Intel CPU's are limited to 16 individual DRAM chips when used with LPDDR3, but even if they COULD be used with 32x8Gb modules it would suck up a lot more power.

DDR4 allows FOUR times the capacity on the same amount of individual chips, instead of a full dual-rank DIMM capping out at 16GB like DDR3 they can be up to 64GB. On the MacBook line with LPDDR4, assuming the same 16 chip limit, you would also be able to configure it with up to 64GB (16x32Gb).
I've switched to duckduckgo for security reasons and noticed not much difference. Even when I switched back to google for something I couldn't find with duckduckgo the search results are very close.
>In the JS world, there's no mastery. People just keep jumping to newest versions and spend all of their time fighting the new problems. Just. Stop.

The frontend framework we use has had six major releases in a year and a half. And I am talking, rip the guts out and change how it works major releases (How semantic versioning is supposed to work).

Like I appreciate that they are doing active development and making it better (because it is getting better, to be honest), but I still feel like you could fix bugs in some minor versions and do like cut major releases to like every six months at least.
I'm interested in your solution, you are using ansible-vault to store the Hashicorp Vault unseal key(s)? Isn't this just pushing the problem out another level or am I missing something? Thanks.
>But land does matter!

It really, really, really doesn't. If you can gerrymander Congressional districts and split North Dakota from South to get the electoral results you want, then "land matters" is just a way of saying, "I want power and I'm willing to rig elections to get it."

>We've lost sight of the fact that each state should be its own experiment in democracy

Rubbish: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/john-kennedy-single-paye... . Democracy is the principle that people affected by decisions should, by degrees, get a voice in those decisions. Electoral rituals are not democracy, and in fact, when an election in Louisiana or Texas can determine that people in Massachusetts and California don't get to make our own public policy choices, that's undemocratic.
Yeah, I'm actually more worried about Electron devs manpower/ability to catch regressions on the very big and simultaneously fast moving codebase where the upstream project doesn't really care about their use cases. This must be total PITA. Otherwise it's an ok platform, I guess.
One difference might be that those two parties now use parts of other minor parties' platforms as a way to convince voters to consider them. If that were the case then at least there's greater breadth of political opinion/discourse.

I never understood the "X is a social construct" argument. People seem to use it to dismiss ideas out of hand in my experience. Freedom of speech, rule of law, and consenting to sex are similarly "social constructs" as in they aren't fundamental laws of the universe but they seem to be pretty good ideas. What is intended to be inferred by this argument?
It is quite for common things but searching uncommon ones always throws it off. Searching for research publications in a specific domain or just haskell or some thing like just returns 1good result with 10 bad ones. So I use !g for those.

Also the autocorrect really throws my search terms off while Google does is right most of the time.
According to this, Samsung and TSMC are ahead of Intel, since these two have shipped their “10nm” chips which are ahead of Intel’s top-of-the-line shipped chips in transistor density. When/if Intel ships their 10nm chips, however, the leader position in transistor density would be regained by Intel (by around a factor of two!). Unless TSMC/Samsung manage to squeeze out something better than their current tech before then.

Think he's right. We're used to not having manuals but that doesn't count for driving. You really should understand your car before you drive, figuring out the system while driving is very dangerous. We're just not used to that anymore.

And it's not that figuring out an iPhone is that much easier. But you can click around until you found the right setting without endangering others.
A couple of lawyers looked at it — but of course, their opinions varied. None took issue with the normally-cased warranty disclaimer.

But I certainly did think about it before using lowercase. The reasoning is this: The Uniform Commercial Code requires language opting out of implied warranties to be "conspicuous". In short, you can't bury the warranty disclaimer in the fine print. In a dozen-page long plain text license, putting the disclaimer in all caps might be a way to try and make it conspicuous. I enjoy Kyle Mitchell's take on this:

"Lawyers have long suffered under the delusion that writing anything in ALL-CAPS meets the conspicuous requirement. That isn’t true. Courts have criticized the Bar for pretending as much, and most everyone agrees all-caps does more to discourage reading than compel it."

In the Lil License, the warranty disclaimer is in normal type because the license is short, and it's meant to be read. It's a conspicuous part of the license. You noticed it right away ;)

Symlinks mean that you cannot simply validate the path string. You need to iteratively walk the path using openat(2) to avoid TOCTTOU bugs. But iteratively walking the tree with openat makes it tricky to tell if you've left the containing directory, especially if you dereference symlinks (disallowing them would be easier). This sort of thing is better handled in the kernel; or rather, whatever code is resolving and creating the resource handle in the first instance.

Unix chroot provides precisely the behavior desired here; unfortunately it requires root privileges.

Capsicum introduced the O_BENEATH flag to the openat(2) system call. openat(somedirfd, path, O_BENEATH) will fail if the path references a file above somedirfd. Unfortunately I don't think it has yet made it into Linux or FreeBSD, no doubt because the semantics are trickier than you'd think (there are very good reasons why chroot is limited to root, so you can't simply reuse the chroot infrastructure). See https://lwn.net/Articles/619146/ and https://reviews.freebsd.org/D2808 and http://capsicum-linux.org/
On the other hand, public services don't have a great track record for effectively spending IT budgets, and the managers who oversee all this barely have any accountability. So it's not too different from companies.
That actually sounds like an interesting business model.

> As long as the videos are non-trivial (~60sec and reasonably complex scenes)

I think this is way too vague. You have already talked about camcorders and phones: handheld cameras. You are clearly assuming moving cameras and moving objects. Be more specific, what needs to be in these videos before you'd accept them?

> the viewers will correctly select all 10 of the simulated videos

Maybe, you're predicting the outcome of an experiment nobody has ever done. And I would predict that eventually some, and then later all videos could be mis-predicted.

If it's not possible, then you should be able to demonstrate it's not possible without doing the experiment.

> I've outlined a scientific test that anyone can conduct.

You've outlined a test that can prove that we got there at some point before the test was conducted. It cannot show that we're not there yet, and failure to get a positive result proves nothing. The test you outlined can fail and we can still have all the technology we need to create realism, both can be true at the same time.

I'd argue that the perceived utility of Bitcoin as a currency depends a lot on the alternatives available to you.

As someone learning rust and currently going through this, I would consider that a trivial program. You will know once you get there because you hit kind of a wall where you have to learn and understand what is basically a language inside of a language. And the language is kind of this mapping for logic that only used to be inside of your head (ownership logic), and so translating that fluently into this brand new language is a real roadblock.

The ownership model isn't too bad for strings, but those are easily the most simple way to start using the ownership model. At least for me, getting into the more advanced ownership stuff is a whole different beast entirely.
There was an article posted a few weeks ago about a large Chinese mine that was doing $200K/day.
I have seen many games with license text that says things like "We asked and got permission from the author". You don't get any more nonstandard than emailing some author and getting permission, yet it seems fairly common in even AAA games.

So let me theorize why that is. Game studios is always short on time, short on developers, and short on money. If doing something nonstandard will save you days/weeks/months of developer time, that is features and bug fixes that otherwise might never be done. There is no room to be religious about which license the #38 library that you use as long it don't conflict with the business model of developing and selling games. Only industries where competition is slower and there is a disconnect between development and revenue can people care strongly about having only licenses they like.
This. I was hoping for some weird pictures of distorted maps.
We're discussing iterators here, and the STL iterators implemented as class templates can't even be compatible with C.

To clarify: safe containers, iterators and algorithms can be designed, but they don't seem to be a priority of the C++ community.
Personally I'm quite scared of accidentally passing the wrong iterator to some function, but OTOH I can't recall it ever happening. I don't use the debug STL either, haven't needed it.

The examples that pcwalton keeps bringing up seem artificial to me. It's true that you can't have perfect safety in C++, but with some effort and custom libraries, many errors can be caught at compile or run-time. The advantage of Rust is that it's safe by default, not necessarily that there's a major safety difference between quality C++ and quality Rust.
FWIW, I assumed autocorrect and wasn't trying to start any wars. :)
Typically you want to avoid referring to people by the adjective that describes them.

Why? It's reductive -- you are replacing a trait with the trait. A 'transgender person', for instance, refers to a person who is trans (among other things.) A 'transgender' focuses on a specific, singular trait of a person, while removing the 'person' from the discussion.

Socially, we typically use adjectives to refer to people who we don't like. Look at media coverage of 'the reds' or 'the gays'. It's a tool for making a combining a group of people and making them a homogenous 'other'.
I Contacted Cloudflare and the response was:

"Unfortunately this stops DNS traffic before it gets to Cloudflare so it is not a problem we can solve for you as much as we would love to. Our recommendation right now would be to contact your domain registrar to understand more about this problem."

Contacted the registrar (iwantmyname.com) and their response:

"You're using external CloudFlare hosting, so our DNS management isn't being used. We don't have any access to the hosting account or the ability to address issues there. It does appear there's some issue with propagation."
Except that is exactly what happens on ARM, for example.
Gb != GB, those are 4GB full-width (x64) modules, making them 512MB per x8 chip, half the size of what Apple already uses in the MBP line's fully maxed out configuration.

Is magnesium glycinate easier on your stomach?
It'd be cool to see a similar map at relativistic scales that shows the relationship between travel time for different speeds and the elapsed time at the origin and destination.
There's a random chance that a DNS request resolves correctly because not all nic-io domain servers are returning incorrect results. If you provide a high TTL on your own records they will be cached for a longer time. Which has as a result that there will be less requests going to the nic-io servers.

This still doesn't rule out bad responses. As far as I know there's no way to achieve that. However, it will make sure correct ones stay active longer.

A high TTL on your NS records would be good as well for the same reason. On the SOA it shouldn't really matter.
You're getting political here, but I'll bite.

It's not that we political conservatives believe transgender people are faking it. Transgenderism is real. We conservatives acknowledge some folks are born with a sincere belief or feeling they are the wrong gender.

I personally sympathize with such people; it must be torturous and painful to be a particular biological sex, with hormones and chromosomes of one biological sex, but feel and believe you are a different biological sex.

Where we differ with leftists is how to view the transgender phenomenon. This article, for example, states that this "girl" became a boy due to a "rare genetic disorder occurs because of a missing enzyme which prevents the production of a specific form of the male sex hormone - dihydro-testosterone - in the womb." It was a genetic disorder; a birth defect.

Thus, this "girl" wasn't a girl at all. Biologically and scientifically speaking, he was a boy with an undeveloped penis.

So it is with transgender folks in the West. We see transgenderism as an outgrowth of the medical condition known as gender dysphoria. Folks suffering with gender dysphoria should seek help, whether that be a medical sex change operation or counseling.
This is such a great concept for a thread - the replies are fascinating. I love the focus on "larger teams who adopted it at least a year ago". Thanks for posing such an insightful question!
Depending on who you ask and which technical details you omit or include:

* Quadratic scaling in signature checking

* Increased storage requirements for full node operation

* Higher risk of mining empty block and/or creating minor fork blockchain

* Centralized mining due to increased bandwidth requirements for mining nodes

* Low/unknown support for big blocks among non-mining nodes

At this point there are also important non-technical arguments:

* Creating a precedence for further block size increments or hard forks

* Giving in to vocal minority/"them"

* Yielding some control of reference implementation

* Pride
Thanks for sharing. Was your talk recorded by any chance? I would be interested in watching it.
Yes, I had trouble getting to crates.io earlier. It looks like my local dnsmasq cached a NAK somehow. I restarted dnsmasq and it started working again. I thought it might just be crates.io, but I guess not.

> Control over government authority is a zero sum game.

Indeed. But only one side seems to be interested in advancing the "white race". And that's the side I'm interested in making SURE they lose. Note, I'm also against any sides that advance the "black race" above and beyond anything that's fair. (Ex: "Black Power", Racial Quotas, etc. etc.)

The political concept here is simply an issue of fairness and race neutrality. The Government should be race neutral and racially blind, and ideally so should society.

Let the best man (or woman) win the job, if said human is Black, White, Yellow, Purple, or Red... gay, lesbian, male, female or transgender. If the best people are chosen for each job without any bias, then the USA will be in a far stronger position than any other country in the world.

The side that is working on making sure EVERYBODY wins is the side I'm on. What side are YOU on?

-------------------

There are certain governmental policies that only benefit the white race. Unfortunately for you, I'm not white. I've got plenty of white friends and I'd hate for them to feel uncomfortable about the future and all, but I'm not going to do anything that benefits white people only. And most of the white people I know don't want an unfair whites-only advantage and/or policies either.

I agree that there are proposed policies that do nothing but hamper white people. And said policies (ie: Racial Quotas), are awful and terrible. We don't want to "hurt" anybody in our quest to improve this country.

Inside a Design Sprint Workshop at Google
Presumably they're already running it in a multi channel configuration, I don't have a modern MBP to check with but you need 8 individual DRAM chips per DIMM (or soldered on equivalent). Since the JEDEC spec for DDR3 caps each individual chip at 8Gb (1GB) they'll have 16 of them, which are probably run in dual-channel instead of dual-rank single-channel.
Assuming it's not caused by environmental factors (e.g., pollutants, toxins).

Temperature is defined as 1/T = dS/dU, where U is the energy of the system and S is the entropy of the system, i.e. S = k * ln(#states that have energy U)

The temperature is proportional to the energy of the system only for ideal monoatomic gases. (Ideal diatomic gases, are slightly more complicated.)

So a "hot" Helium balloon where all the particles are moving in random directions has a different temperature than a "fast" Helium balloon where all the particles are moving roughly in the same direction. It doesn't matter how difficult is to define it. (Probably you can use an infrared thermometer pointed in the direction perpendicular to the movement to get the correct temperature.)

In the fast balloon you can theoretically split the energy in A: kinetic energy of the center of mass and B: internal thermal energy, so the total energy is A+B. With some device you can extract all the kinetic energy as something useful. (for example, make the balloon hit some lever connected to an electric generator, you will need something more smarter to get the 100% of A but it's theoretically possible.) So you can extract the 100% of A

If the hot balloon with the same energy you have only A+B of internal thermal energy. If you use some device you can never extract the energy, you can never extract more than a part of B as something useful like electricity, because of the second law of thermodynamics. It the ambient temperature is T_amb and the initial temperature of the balloon is T_bal, you can get at most B * (1 - T_amb / T_bal) as something usefull like electricity and waste at least B * (T_amb / T_bal) in a heat sink.
Having used both: I have no idea. The Apple Watch is at least as good in everything the Garmin does.

> Self-replicators have an internal goal.

You are taking the teleological analogy literally again. It was Darwin's biggest insight that this is precisely not how evolution works.

Adding the word 'internal' doesn't help either. You could just as well say that a thermostat has an internal goal of staying warm.

This is moot anyway. Like Carroll's Humpty-Dumpty, you have crafted a definition of consciousness that suits you perfectly, but which doesn't match what everyone else means.
