But that's how development for iOS is too, probably even worse because you also need to buy the whole computer in order to develop in it (I know there are other ways, I'm just considering the way most developers do). But this model still successfully works for Apple.

Developing for Android is really amazing. But the real deal is the phone's market share. It doesn't matter much how good or crap is your experience creating apps for a specific platform. At the end of the day it's about how many users will be downloading your app. Apple and Android has the market. Windows does not have it.

Unacceptable. It's now 5+ years since major improvements. And they released a new socket too, breaking upgrade paths.

Meanwhile, my Ryzen 1600 is overclocked at 4ghz and running smoothly with 6 cores/12 threads.

Intel better release something worthwhile soon. AMD is well into its comeback.
I can't wait until LIDAR stuff ends up in junk yards from totaled cars in the future. I'm sure there will be a bunch of amazing uses for it.
Facebook wasn't a first mover. It was more like the tenth large social network. Predecessors included AOL, Myspace, Orkut, Geocities...
But it's not the real nerds who run SV. It's the used car salesmen, itinerant bankers, and other various grifters who are only there because they follow the money from one industry to the next until they've bled it dry. Then they move on.
Heat dissipation has been problematic for Intel not just with the recent 2066 disaster but way before that. Most Haswell desktop processors are not that easy to keep from throttling. This is exaggerated by large temperature gradients of 15 °C and more across the cores, and obviously the hottest core is limiting overall performance.
No problem, glad I could provide some insight. Also...

The whole "diversity-in-tech" is less of an issue here (from my anecdotal experience). My current team is 70/30 men/women and while we'll occasionally talk about the larger tech community, rarely does it devolve into talks about diversity/gender representation/social issues. My team cares about technology, solving problems related to the electric grid, and maintaining our systems so the operators can ensure power is restored quickly and promptly to our customers.

Its a pretty good gig in that respect. My lead is a Mexican-American female that if you asked her about it, she'd say she is an professional Electrical Engineer first and foremost. I like that kind of environment, as opposed to when I worked for Google and it was a constant barrage of "women/diversity candidate/veteran in tech." My wife is a software engineer as well and she likes the fact that her current company doesn't treat her as the token female developer, something that she experience all too much in SV.
Isn't there a Surface Phone in the works? I've heard lots of rumours about it.
Makes me wonder what research they'll be doing about us in 58,000 years.

My best guess: none. These years might not be totally irrelevant, but no doubt they're boring. Last century was very exciting and next will bring some singularity or something, but right now? Very difficult to make it seem interesting.

No doubt based on or inspired by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxomitron , which does have HTTPS MITM capability --- the one thing a lot of filtering proxies lack. There's unofficial (as they all are --- the author is long deceased) patches to add support for the latest OpenSSL libraries and other minor useful enhancements.

The Apex Fallacy cognitive bias is missing.
Some games have microcode optimizations that specifically target Intel processors. So it makes sense that, as things stand currently, Intel has the advantage.

Give it a year or two for AMD to solidify Ryzen in the consumer market, and we should see the real playing field emerge.
When did Intel stop including fans with some of their processors? The last processor I bought was a k branded i5 in 2012ish and it came with a fan.

It's not just the word Bodega, it's the insult to injury added to the death of the American dream. Bodega's were ways that people could people of a community could pool their resources together and make a living for themselves while serving their community. Now some ambitious VC-backed firm not only wants to decimate that road to the American dream, but they also have to steal the name too? That's like killing your neighbor and wearing his skin while fucking his wife.
You're right, and I took a 1~2 week leave from HN because of it myself.

I did get lost a bit getting over worked about the situation. It's a topic that hits close to home for me as SF was a great place to live for me for a better part of a decade, but myself and other friends had to leave as the rising costs squeezed us out.
All countercultural movements are trashy. The alt-right certainly have hit a certain watermark for going for cheap shocks and taboo-breaking transgressive behavior, but that's because they're attuned to the standards of the current generation. In the '70s, punk was countercultural and the Brits banned "God Save the Queen" by the Sex Pistols just because the cover had Elizabeth II wearing a nose ring. What's considered trashy or taboo shifts with each generation.
The defaults are a little funky but they’re easy enough to change. I have mine so prefix+s splits horizontally and prefix+v splits vertically. And then prefix+(H,J,K,L) resizes.
Agreed.

There are dumb ideas, and dumb ideas that are poorly executed.

Juciero is clearly the latter.

But just because an idea is dumb, doesn't mean it won't be successful in the market.

I adopt a idea (not remember the original library where I say it) where ALL the sql strings are in a single .sql file.

Exactly as with sql upgrade scripts.

It look like this:

--name: post-event
SELECT post_log(@theId, @ENTITY, @ACTION, @CHANGEBY, @DATA, @VERSION)

GO

--name: get-location
SELECT * FROM "Location"
WHERE
id = @id

GO

--name: list-location
SELECT * FROM "Location"
ORDER BY country, state, city;

GO

Then I just parse this file (note the names with --) once and use this alike (in F#):

module Location =
let ENTITY = "Location"
let SQL_LIST = SQL_CMDS.["list-location"]

type LocationRecord = {id:int64 option; address:string; country:string; state:string; city:string; version:int64}

type LocationQuery =
| All
| ById of int64

let query q =
use con = openConn()

let toRec = Db.toRecord<LocationRecord>

match q with
| All ->
Db.select con SQL_LIST []
|> Seq.map toRec

| ById(theId) ->
let id = [P("@id", theId)]
Db.select con SQL_BYID id
|> Seq.map toRec

And plug a micro-orm (mainly just a very thin layer over ADO.NET in .NET. I do similar over swift and python).

This take me like a few hours. Let me test easily the sql. I can build the sql exactly as I want.

The only cons is the repetition on the scripts - because SQL is a terrible language that not allow composability, like similar to CSS - . Probably I will later use a template parser (like mustache or similar) but I think this is the closest to the holy grail ;)
And frankly Winmo 7 was the bad move, not 6.5.

Because 7 burned the app bridge with 6.5, thus making it ever easier for someone to justify moving to a different platform.

Yeah - I read some of them, and while I don't necessarily 'get' all of it, there's a lot to be learned in all these things, and it's so good that people spend the time to cover in depth what the issues were and how to fix them.

"...it gives them names we can attach theories about them to." Sometimes I think this gets lost in conversations about scientific topics.

> If I recall correctly Windows was the first to have a feature that would automatically connect to your cellular connection if the Wifi didn't work. Most consumers don't care but it is something I was surprised iPhones and Android didn't have at least at the time.

I remember having an app on android that did that long before windows phone had it. It was able to turn on/off your wifi based on your location. Great battery saver.

> In addition continuum is unique/better in many ways although that is more recent. It has been a while since I have used a Windows Phone.

Samsung cloned it for their S8 Series and it seems to be actually usable from the start compared to windows continuum. Though by the time continuum was available, wp was dead.
That certainly wasn't the only program. MSFT paid cost for my mobile dev company to port games, because we had an established brand on iOS/Android. $100 for whatever random college students come up with seems very reasonable.

I can believe that. I certainly am. But it's hard to undo the bad habit of going to bed late. When work and travelling to work occupies ten or more hours a day you end up feeling that sleep is stealing time from you.
Historically, that happened before.

There was large amounts of net migration in the late 19th century - early 20th century from rural areas (where work increasingly wasn't due to agriculture automation) to urban areas. [1]

As farms automated, it was often "flyover territories" that took the lead in creating the then-new high school movement. [2]

Heck, for technologies that were increasingly becoming indispensable to life, there was even strong government efforts to make sure access was available for that. (EG in 1936: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_Electrification_Act)

So, "pick up a laptop and learn to code" is an acceptable answer to me. Of course, actually, there are a lot of other careers besides coding. The issue is that increasingly, former career paths like resource extraction and manufacturing are either getting automated away, or are getting shoved out by globalization. This leaves the service industry (including the knowledge economy). Your "standard" service job doesn't pay very good these days, and the current "career path" in America to obtain a good knowledge economy job is through a college degree (I know, not the best "signal" in many ways, but for now it is the signal) and rural participation rate is very low [3].

One frustration with the current political scene, which is so dominated by culture war anger, is that these concepts don't even really get aired. How to improve rural higher education, how to aid career transitions from manufacturing, how to improved wage standards for service workers (which are increasingly replacing manufacturing jobs), or even something like rural Internet initiatives? Seems far more interesting to discuss than what often passes for "political news" these days.

I've used data diodes. It isn't clear to me what is the high side in this case.
Thats imo no contradictions. Metro did things different but in no way better and felt severly restricted compared to android/ios ui design at the time. They banked on having everything look the same in the whole OS but never considered that certain apps just straight up wouldn't work with the metro UI concept.
I’ve been using Redshift fairly heavily for the past couple years. I haven’t had the time to do comparisons between BigTable, unfortunately. I’ve been too strapped for time. And, we have only just started experimenting with Snowflake recently.

I would like to try out BigTable, but experimenting with it has required too much work. I would have to move my entire data set (Several Petabytes) over to Google.

Redshift has been fine. But, with Reshift, we have two big issues: 1) Loading data takes too long. Even with efficient copy operations from S3, it takes too long to import data at scale. 2) Ineffient queries frequently overflow to disk and consume the entire SSD. I’ve tried to train my data science team on how to avoid inefficient queries, but it’s been impossible.

So, I’m really looking forward to seeing the results from part 2!
Sysadmins aren't big fans of disruption either. You could build the greatest active-directory replacement in the world and no IT department would touch it with a ten foot pole because it isn't what they're used to.
Introducing the Next Generation Qubes Core Stack
My wife had several Windows Phones in succession.

Her use of a phone is very practical: contacts, texting, weather information. All of this was available at a glance in a much much better way than either Android or the iPhone have. It was a better business UI.

It was harder to use if you had many apps. But seriously, having a phone open to the equivalent of Windows 3.1's Program Manager (which is what Android and iPhone deliver) is not great!

You misinterpret what is causing the problem.

It is not just a pipeline problem at the elementary school level where women aren't being given enough Legos to play with or something.

It is a pipeline problem at the company level as well. As in, women in tech are very often driven out of the industry because of all the BS that they have to put up with.

Fix the sexism problem at the company level and the industry stops losing good workers who were being driven out.

Also something to think about, why would women want to join an industry when they know that they will have to put up with a lot of sexism? That would be a pretty big deterrent from them getting a CS degree in the first place.

Exactly. Money obtained through heritage being one thing. Cancer in the family raising health insurance another (if all open information shows cancer they can assume next generations will as well). Near sighted raising car insurance. Grandpa being a bank robber making kids have a hard time in preschool (or probably be a hero nowadays). Grandpa being a kid high school shooter being disclosed. Sex offenders. Well, you get the point. Confidentiality is not something to let forgo easily. Once lost it can never be obtained again.

So while you may be comfortably dead your descendants may pay the penalty in unexpected ways. A suitable time frame would probably be beyond centuries but rather like today finding Neanderthals (prehistoric men).

This is all apart from the breach of contract in a social sense.

I'm fully aware of the complexities of real numbers. But I also know they are essential to derive any advanced mathematics. All the normal derivations and definitions of calculus depend on properties unique to the reals. And while it might be possible to re-derive calculus using computable numbers (I'm fairly sure it is, but not completely), a great many results using topology absolutely depend on the properties of the reals that the domain of computable numbers simply don't have.

My observation is that what you state is not remotely true. If you want more CBD, get a high CBD strain. The indicas I see here in the Seattle area have a couple of percent, at best, of CBD. That's why most stores have a "high CBD" section for those that just want pain management, because the other stuff will have minimal CBD and will get you higher than a kite.

As for THC, without even looking at the label I can tell you indica has just as much THC because nothing gives me "couch lock" (just sit on the couch and binge Netflix) like a good indica. In comparison to sativa, which will get me high but I can still get off the couch.
