> Maybe it's assuming a CPU cache and TLB miss on read which means going to the kernel.

My understanding is that those normally don't incur faults that would switch to the kernel context. They're just slow due to several memory lookups that have to be done to satisfy the primary memory access.
its the same socket 1151, but the pinout is different. According to intel because of different power requirements for hexacore and faster DDR4 rating.
In the Factors Demo, could you change the degree when you paint the next star? Maybe even change the degree between the factors the same as the first one. I think that might look a little nicer.
Why its hard to believe that ? Look what obama did ?? Not even hacker news was mentioned about it.
Feel free to email me and I'll tell you what I can, but my time is severely limited, and my colleagues are totally paranoid about talking about anything that's in-house.

There's a useful tool in search engines that I think are desperately underused. This [1] is a search for "Iraq" on Google with results from January 1st to March 1st, 2003. We would invade on March 20th. I'll leave the results without comment. I think they speak for themselves.

A couple of asides are that it's very interesting to do the same sort of thing with "Russia" in more contemporary times. Our minds do very strange things when reconstructing the past. At the eve of the Iraq war, 72% [2] of Americans supported war. Now nearly half [3] of Americans claim they opposed the war. And the interesting thing is that people probably do genuinely believe this. Our brains do an absolutely phenomenal job of letting us lie to ourselves. Probably the one thing that inhibits progress more than any other!

Regarding the solar panel part, could be a hardware requirement validated that way but I don't know you could probably spoof that.
Thanks for asking!

I don't have any precise requests, but I would like to be able to pretty much hook up an oscilliscope or logic analyzer anywhere and in principle be able to understand what's going on.

I'm looking to get into hardware by way of tinkering and my mental model is of open software. Currently, any time I have a burning question about one of my tools, I can just open a man page as well as start digging into the source. I think it would be cool to do the spiritual equivalent with hardware.

For example, I am currently digging into the bootup process--everything after CPU POST until a fully ready userspace. However, the details that between pressing the power button on the power supply and CPU POST are completely opaque to me, and some are completely opaque even in principle on my current system. I'd like to have the ability to fully grok the electrical underpinnings of what's going on or at least as close as possible.
Can't wait to read the same post 10 years from now.

Scaling problem. If you wanted to get ten thousand people out and settled somewhere else, you'd be talking about close to ten thousand dollars apiece between transit and housing and job search and overhead--we're not crowdfunding a hundred million dollars.

BTW, Puerto Rico has about 3.5 million residents.

Crowdfunding as a patch is both mathematically unlikely in the short term and socially toxic in the long term--this is why we have governments, they can marshal the proper number of zeroes at the end of the number, it's their job. At least, when led by people who believe it is their mission to actually do their jobs.
The Conservative Party in the UK introduced introduced gay marriage and support the NHS, they're definitely not "far right".
I had intended to use the full title, and only just now realized that I messed it up.
Honestly similar arguments can be made for Windows and Android.

I have the premium devices for both (Surface Book and Google Pixel) and I still have daily annoyances.

On Windows 10, you will lose audio if the computer goes to sleep while connected to a TV via HDMI - requiring a restart. It was reported over a year ago and a similar issue exists with external monitors.

Windows Hello recognizes me but occasionally does not log me in and gives me no indication why. Is it a bug or a security feature? It's been over a year without a fix.

If I adjust the angle of my Surface Book display, the keyboard will not work for a few seconds due to a common hardware issue. It wouldn't bother me except the Surface Book is extremely top heavy and simply typing with the keyboard on your lap can make the display wobble causing the keyboard to cut out every few seconds.

The Surface Book power cable from the outlet to the brick is so short the brick cannot reach the floor from a common outlet height.

The Surface Pro 4 had minor light bleed issues. Microsoft attempted to fix it, but the new Surface Pro 2017 has even worse light bleed issues (except for the devices given to tech bloggers).

On Android:

Google removed the headphone jack from the Pixel 2.

If I ask Google to Remind Me of X when I get Home, it often reminds me days later (even though I use Google maps every day for navigation).

If I use Ok Google to dial my wife while I'm driving, it asks "Mobile or Skype". If it doesn't hear me properly, which happens 25% of the time, it repeats the question. But if I answer, "Mobile" it searches Google Maps for all Mobile gas stations :)
Thank you! I did most of those project during my high school and college years. I've found that there's no substitute for hard work in life, you can either go to school and work hard to get a degree or you can work hard on entrepreneurial endeavors but you have to work hard. How you choose to gain experience isn't that important, especially as a software developer.
Probably best to follow standard guidelines: Don't distinguish anything by color alone. Using color and a pattern within the color would work fine. Figuring out how to make that work with partial fills is another question...
The problem is that people are fallable, often wrong, and always overconfident. Many presidents believe they can delegate the work of actually being president by blindly trusting those below him. In practice, you find the government to be filled with normal human beings doing their best in an organization where the shareholders are insane and irrational.
It's probably the right combination of a body, intelligence, social structure and environmental pressures that lead to sophisticated tool making societies that pass their knowledge on down so it accumulates.

So far, we're the only species on Earth to have enough of the right combination to get this far. So maybe it only happens 1 in 1000 worlds with multicellular life.

How many planets does that leave in the Milky Way? That's the sort of calculation SETI does.
>I mean, there's verifiable evidence Russia tried to influence our election. That's pretty new for a lot of Americans.

That might be new for a lot of Americans, but not for anyone who has ever paid any sort of attention to international politics. In reality it would've been bigger news if Russia hadn't tried to influence our election. And that's not specific to Russia, I'd say that about any major economic power including allies.

>since the Cold War

We've been in a proxy hot war with Russia for years. Syria is a major Russian ally and a big part of our activity in Syria is to reduce the regional influence/power of Russia.

>I can't tell if you're rightly scared of the media

One would think that a group of people whose job it is to report on global politics would understand how much of a certainty it is that Russia would try to impact all of our elections. And yet they're pretending like this is shocking. I can forgive the general public, but any media outlet feigning shock is bold faced lying.
The premises of the article:
"hold programmers to a higher standard"
"always do a good job, don't cut corners, use TDD"

are neat and all, and the TDD part is all fine and good and such, but this is advice for a singular person.

One doesn't address systemic flaws by essays urging individual moral fortitude and hope for the best.

Next, the author mentions that tools are not the answer, as they clearly wish to focus on character and ethics on the part of the individual, but then by mentioning their confidence in automated testing suites, they are belaying the eponymous claim of the title of the article itself.

While I don't expect The Atlantic to provide much insight for our industries internal consumption, neither does this authors article.

I will argue that it is explicitly a question of tooling:

Does ones task have a safety component that requires one to adhere to realtime coding standards? (no function pointers, for example, no malloc/free, for example...stack only..)

Is a realtime operating system a requirement? hard realtime? soft realtime? milliseconds, microseconds, picosecond response time, deterministic response time range etc?

Is a statically typed compiled language like Haskell or Ocaml an option? Those folks literally sit around proving things, as far as determinism and systems go...

I just find that the article was lumping entertainment website development in with vehicle braking systems with word processors... and the moralistic tone, while possibly inspiring to some, is rather a refusal to consider the systemic aspects to the issues raised/discussed...

A surprising series of computer games that you might not even recognize are based on algebra (at first): http://dragonbox.com

I play games mostly of pattern recognition; repeating tiles, shape combinations (sets), etc. I mostly let the little ones drive and don't expect anymore than 20 minutes of focus.

What I'm paranoid about is the focus on literacy in schools and how formulaic and uninteresting maths can be. I'm hoping my kids won't be turned off of a beautiful subject just because they're taught in a rote manner to recall formulas and equations.

nVidia graphics mean poorer libre graphics driver support on Linux, compared to Intel graphics drivers, not to mention the battery hit. If you're a developer looking to buy a programming workhorse, Intel graphics are a better choice.

A distinction needs to be made between the Googles and Facebooks of the world, and "tech". In practice, huge corporations love it when they can serve as a proxy for a human rights issue like freedom of speech. But there is no reason that mega-corporations with unimaginable power and increasingly control of the world's information should have the same freedoms that we allow individuals or even smaller companies. To the contrary, they need government checks and balances because there is no other counter-balancing force to their power. Over the last 100 years or so American culture has been totally subverted to this idea that any restrictions on corporate activity are inherently fascist and will destroy our economy, and the only solution to overwhelming market dominance is deregulation and magical thinking about the efficacy of the free market.

I argue humanity has never left the stone age, when you think about it we are still digging things out of the ground and banging them together. Once we have consumers using biological machines (beyond yeast and horses but things we have written the genetic code for) or manipulating matter at the atomic level then we will have truly passed into a new age.

Is there a reason that the macOS CLI can't be intended as a general power-user feature, not just a developer feature?

Consider: Terminal.app comes with macOS, not with Xcode. If the BSD environment was just there for developers, would this be true?

Today's Microsoft seems to increasingly think sysadmins would rather use PowerShell than MMC snap-ins; I'm inclined to think that today's Apple is similar. And there's nothing inherently hard about CLI interfaces; "regular people" used MS-DOS PCs for ~two decades.

I would bet Apple just thinks the CLI is the optimal Human-Computer Interface for doing some things.

Slight issue:

Far more than past administrations, a huge number of things that come out of Pence's mouth are straight-up lies.

He and the rest of the administration have demonstrated they will lie with abandon to serve their own ends. We've long passed the point where we should take anything at face value this administration (and this GOP congress as well) says.

I typically create a new key pair specifically for managing my keys, and when I want to store or transport a key I encrypt it with the pubkey of my 'manager' key pair, so that if the process is interrupted somehow I can revoke the manager key and fail closed. And then for offline I would just print out the encrypted key.
Can you?

I can sell every stock I have tomorrow and nobody will notice I'm small potatoes that nobody on wall street cares about. When you have a significant amount of money it isn't that easy.

It is just easy for me to get 40% returns every year, just put everything into the one stock that will be up the most tomorrow morning. In just a couple years of God like foresight though I can't do that: I will be worth so much that my very act of buying/selling stock will change the price. Every time I start a trade stock for that company will stop trading while wall street tries to find buyers/sellers for my stock. The stock might be selling at $10/share, but when I actually buy the price is $20/share.

For a few years I can counter that by splitting my orders between several stocks, but each time I have to do that my returns go down just a little. Eventually even that runs out: after 60 years of 40% growth I would be worth more than all stocks in the world combined.

Ha. $950 for 128GB and no headphone jack. Personally I don't miss the jack too bad (sorry to all those that care). But, this thing is basically more expensive than the iPhone 8 Plus for half the storage. I guess they are competing with the X. Good luck with that. I don't see how this can do that.
The processor even in the iPhone 8 trounces all the Android shit. And it's not like it matters that much because 3rd party software (large titles) often perform so much better on iOS (for a wide variety of reasons, not all of them fair).

I was yet another one screwed by the Nexus 6p battery debacle, and for $600, no it was not a "budget" phone. It was clearly marketed as Google's first attempt to dip their toes into being a serious handset manufacturer (a Pixel dry-run). The Pixel XL has/had problems too with memory storage, and then of course the whole continuing problem with uneven power management and battery life in real world use cases.

Android still hasn't gotten it's shit together and the Pixel 2 is still not ready to compete with Apple. Maybe I'll come back when Google has proven they are serious about doing things right.

Google became a $600bn conglomerate largely off the strength of search quality.

Yes, people should be capable of determining that 4chan isn't actually a news source, but that doesn't mean it's defensible for a Google feature intended to surface news stories to be so poor that it's trivially easy to bomb it into highlighting posts on the world's most infamous bulletin board as "top stories", even if the search term is really specific.

I wouldn't use a blowtorch to trim my nails. I would use Google with the expectation that an internet search company capable of writing software that drives cars and performs real time translation is also capable of not labelling a website which is both extremely well known and trivially identifiable as NSFW user-generated content as a source for a "top story"
I don't know what the extent is, but there have been medical evacuations.

I guess it isn't simple though, people may not want to leave the island if they think the hospitals will be back to full service soon and things like that. And also transporting sick people 1,000 miles isn't necessarily trivial.
You can't take anything this admin says at face value - they've all shown enormous willingness to lie, that goes far beyond previous administrations.

Let's wait for actions.

Key is to look at their real agenda. What does Pence or his GOP donors get out of this annoucement? (I can't think of anything obvious, but let's see)
> It means establishing a renewed American presence on the moon...
> And from the foundation of the moon...

This is potentially bad news for SLS/Orion. They have no ability to land on the Moon. SLS doesn't do retro-propulsion and Orion can only land on Earth's ocean using heat shields and parachutes.

That's why NASA has pushed for asteroid missions and building a space station around the Moon. Those are things that SLS can do.

Of course if the intention is to land on the moon this is very good news for SpaceX and Blue Origin, both of whom have working retro-propulsion landings under their belt. Arguably, Blue Origin is in an ever better position than SpaceX since their New Shepard is about the right size for a moon lander. SpaceX would have to develop one.

(Dragon 2 was originally supposed to do retro-propulsion landing, but NASA nixed the idea of landing legs that extended from a heat shield, so the idea was dropped. They would either have to develop a lander version of Dragon 2, or wait until the BFS is available)
