They couldn't have done that because these technologies are not exactly for the same things and don't have the same features.

Silverlight was mainly for apps embedded in the browser. It was very limited compared to WPF and not meant to replace it.

Similarly, Metro was not meant to replace WPF. It was extremely limited in what you can do. You couldn't build serious desktop apps with that.

The fact that all those technologies use XAML does not mean they're newer versions of the same thing. The difference in APIs is not what matters, it's the difference in what they can actually do and how that makes them different.

"the nearly inevitable drama of teen girl lives more expensive as the devices are discarded as rapidly as BFFs and boyfriends."

This is an untrue stereotype. I would argue that this stereotype, teen girls are unnecessarily and overly dramatic, is one of the same stereotypes that dissuades girls from coding in the first place.

Here's one data point for you. Windows Store used to have an official Kindle app. It doesn't since the end of last year, because Amazon basically said they don't see the return on that investment. They now recommend their desktop Win32 app if you want to read Kindle books on Windows.

Needless to say, iOS and Android do have well-supported Kindle apps.

Here are my understandings:

Today we are @ ~ 14, 16 nm.

When we get to 7nm, the today's chip that is using 1 cm^2 size silicon can probably be build with 0.25 cm^2 size silicon die. (IO pads are another factor).

If "everything (mainly yield?) being equal ", they should be able build 4x amount of chips from the same silicon wafer. Again, assuming IO is not an issue.

If the process cost, yield is similar, the new chips "can be" 4x cheaper OR they can pack 4 times # of transistors into the same 1 cm^2 area. It can means more CPU, GPU cores, much larger L1, L2, L3 cache for the same chip size.

When we get to 3 nm, they can build 16x amount of chips from the same 12 inch wafer.

Or pack 16x amount of transistors into the same silicon area.

A good example is:

* Apple A10: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A10

16 nm: die area of 125 mm2, 3.3 billion

* Apple A11: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A11

10 nm: 4.3 billion transistors[6] on a die 87.66 mm2

Small die = more chips per wafer. More transistors = More CPU cores, GPU cores, etc.

So nm is definitively has REAL impact on cost of a chip and amount of features (transistors) one can pack into a silicon die. It is not a simple marketing term.

That's a good point. It seems about right that license terms are all about the cases where the code is used "commercially", for some sense of "commercial". If the code is never used commercially, there's never a reason to enforce the license.

Maybe the most effective non-commercial code license is the most popular license on GitHub: the null license.

(If someone's about to reply "You can't just use code you found on GitHub without a license, you can get into all kinds of trouble that way", that's exactly my point about using code with a "non-commercial" license.)

Microsoft decided that a great way to get apps for their phone would be to make a UI for both desktop and phone and force developers to use it. In a single stroke they alienated all their existing desktop developers while forcing potential phone app developers to have to think about far more complex problems. Their message to developers was that they must learn something new. And so they did. XCode.

And how much of that data is in outdated formats that it's now almost impossible to read? If I could still find my middle school papers written using WordPerfect 5.1 or MS Write, and if the floppies were still legible, would I be able to open them in software that runs on my current operating system without emulation? How long would it take to find something to read them with?

And that's with very common software from only a quarter of a century ago! Heck, I've got files written in niche Mac OS X software from less than a decade ago that probably can no longer be read on a computer manufactured this year.

If even a huge portion of people voluntary lower consumption or energy usage, it frees up that energy to be consumed more cheaply by other people

Not really, oil extraction is capital intensive, oil wells have finite lives, and you can count on people extracting the cheapest oil first. As fossil fuel demand drops, the risk of operating a well increases and that makes borrowing more expensive, the capital costs will be amortized across less energy so the energy will have to be more expensive, and energy should naturally get more expensive as time goes on and the easiest oil is depleted. Sure, technology changes and reduces the cost of extraction but moving away from fossil fuels isn't an incentive for developing more extraction technology.

Not to mention that people's investments in alternative fuels / transportation brings the costs down for everyone else and as costs go down, more and more people will be willing to pay the eco-friendly premium until some day they're less expensive and people select eco-friendly consumption out of their own self-interest.

I think this day is closer than most people realize for electric cars. Gear heads and regular folks are going to love electric cars when the batteries get better, at some point, it's going to cost a lot extra to get a ICE vehicle and that's going to be a rent extraction on idiots who dream of rolling coal in F250s.
> You are free to your own opinion there, but know that there are many of us who care a great deal about open drivers. I, for one, bought 4 AMD cards, partly because of price, but mostly because of the promise of open drivers.

I generally care more about open source, too, but when the Linux kernel maintainers tell me to "fuck off" and "just use proprietary drivers", then I’ll do exactly that.

> The fact that kernel devs are sticking to their guns does not mean that they are not working hard on AMDGPU, it just means they are not compromising to make it easier for AMD to provide the proprietary part (AMDGPU-pro).

Well, they are trying to make it harder to do that.

All that would be necessary would be a tiny abstraction layer to add driver extensions for functionality that can not be open source today (because it might be something where AMD is actively competing with NVIDIA).

Instead, I’m forced into running an outdated kernel, outdated Xorg, and proprietary versions of everything.
Is it? I don’t think teleconferencing technology is at a state (yet) where it’s nearly as effective at conveying messages and building relationships as in-person conferencing. It‘s closer than it used to be, and it may get closer still in the future (e.g. if VR gets good enough that people want to use it for that), but for now it’s not there. Teleconferencing also has a public perception of being cheaper and thus less important. So, if the goal of a conference is to cause some measurable reduction in the expected amount of carbon being dumped in the future, by encouraging government action and such - it’s certainly debatable whether conferences can actually achieve that goal, but that’s the goal - then a virtual conference would probably result in a substantially smaller reduction. And if a substantial portion of a measurable change is measurable, then it’s a lot bigger than the CO2 cost of some plane tickets, which at a global scale is immeasurable.

On the other hand, making a point of using telecommunications could make for a good PR stunt, which could increase attention and thus effectiveness. It could also help promote the idea of using teleconferencing as an environmental measure. Overall, though, I’m not sure how good a stunt it’d be - it might give people the impression that fighting climate change requires people to make great personal sacrifices in their way of life, which, whether or not it’s true, could hurt the cause by creating cognitive dissonance. (I’m pretty sure it’s not true, per se. Rather, it would require a ton of money, which would hurt people’s way of life indirectly, but not as obviously.)
I'm not sure what you mean. Girls and guys in their young teen years (and older teen years) are both likely to fall in/out with other people. Both are very dramatic. While it could be confirmation bias, girls are more likely to "ignore each other", and other things that more permanently changes relationships.

If this is two bands that are interconnected that could get expensive.

I see an opportunity for a "Shopify for restaurants". Essentially an end to end SaaS solution that let's you do your own order management and lead-gen (and plugs into your own POS). though that latter part (lead gen) would still be a huge challenge for restaurants. Seamless charges those fees because they have the audience and can.
The other day, I was at a restaurant that uses EatStreet (a smaller competitor) but no other similar services. (I was waiting for an order I placed in person.)

A GrubHub driver came in and asked whether the GrubHub order had gone through yet; it seemed like he had been waiting. The person at the counter, confused, said that the establishment didn't work with GrubHub and never had. The employee repeated that he had an order, and tried to confirm the details of the order - but there was no such order. Apparently GrubHub had called the restaurant, and when someone at the restaurant tried to explain that it didn't work with GrubHub, the system had ignored them, and placed the order anyway.

Now somewhere there is a customer presumably mad at the restaurant for losing their order, while GrubHub will, for all I know, continue to do this to said restaurant forever. What's an owner supposed to do?

This story supports my growing theory that you should put as much of your app's rules in the database as you can.

There were three problems with having the rule in Rails:

1. The need for an index was easily overlooked.

2. The rule would be bypassed if a different app used the same database.

3. The rule wasn't even foolproof. Only a database constraint would guarantee uniqueness when two users are saving at the same instant.

The problem is, SQL is hard. We should not forget how much a programmer must learn. For example: Ruby, Rails, Linux command line, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, vi, how to exit vi, etc. Each of these takes years to master.

SQL is especially SQuirreLy. However, it can't possibly be worse than learning the myriad JavaScript frameworks and complicated server-build tools that are completely optional for 99% of us. My advice: Don't do a SPA. Spend your time on SQL instead :D
It’s not that simple.

AMD has to license code from other third parties, too (which is a common reason for proprietary code), and in some situations (as with the new tiled rasterizer of VEGA, which with its beta drivers gets 2x the performance of the open driver), it has significant advantages over what NVIDIA has.

AMD always has opened as much as possible, as soon as possible, but there’s situations where that’s not directly possible.

And it looks like we’ll end up with a significant (factor of 2 or worse) performance difference between Linux and Windows in the next years for AMD drivers due to that.

My knee jerk reaction was pretty negative, but on only a few seconds’ reflection I think this is great. Absolutely no reason why kids can’t start with C++; it doesn’t have to be template meta programming insanity from the get-go. Motivated kids have infinite capacity for learning and a lot of time for exploration.

I don't know about you, but I want to get as far away from the whole Android ecosystem as possible. I don't want "Linux-based." I want fully fledged GNU/Linux in my pocket. I want to take advantage of GNOME/KDE's convergence interfaces. I want to develop real Unix software and port it to a phone without rewriting it for cocoa touch or Android's java API.

There is so much great software available for GNU/Linux that we have the potential to tap into, and many of them can be made to work on a 5" touchscreen with a little bit of elbow grease. Firefox OS and Ubuntu phones failed because they ignored the giant stack of software sitting right in front of us. Purism would do well to leverage the software we already have and love, rather than wasting time designing new application models and distribution channels which nobody asked for in the first place.

There's been a hole in my heart since the day the Nokia n900 was discontinued. I've got my fingers crossed on this one.
Well, that really depends on the bank, though. In the case of smaller/local banks, chances are that it will simply go bankrupt to be wound down and deposit insurance will pay out the balance (or as much of it as is insured) within a couple days.

But also, bankruptcy does not necessarily imply that the bank collapses: One way to resolve a bankruptcy is to obtain funds, possibly in the form of a bailout, that allow any demands to be fulfilled. Rather, bankruptcy is exactly the thing that allows the bank to refuse payouts even when it's not a bank holiday. The point is that once a bank has declared bankruptcy, it is not allowed to pay out to anyone anymore without oversight, because the bankruptcy proceedings are supposed to make sure that everyone that the bank is indebted to gets a fair share of the remaining assets--or possibly to find a solution that allows the bank to resume operations by accepting a later payout for some of its debts. The important point in all of this is that in any case, none of this can be used directly to increase the equity of the existing owners. If the bank has to obtain loans in order to fulfill its obligations, the interest on that is paid from equity. If there is no equity, the bank changes ownership (like, if the state bails out the bank, the state gets to own the bank). So, even if the bank might refuse to pay out under certain circumstances, the processes that get triggered by that have as their primary goal to make those payouts happen as soon as possible, not to allow the bank's owners to keep anything.

Very interesting. What do you think about CockroachDB (https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach)? Is that serious enough to the challenge, from outside Google?
Yeah I like it. How about just rejection in general.

Receiving regular rejections for dates, might have a chance to reduce poor handling of real rejections, perhaps even reduce violence towards women.

Either you'll end up being a tank that can handle any negative outcome with grace, or the sheer depression of all the rejection will force you to cancel the service at which point your normal life will feel like a fantasy land where anything is possible.
3nm is the physical size of the smallest dimension in the features in the chip. In 2017, the current 'node' is 7 nm. In this node, the dimension of the 'FinFET Fin Width' is 4.4 nm. [0]

It's fucking amazing to think that such microscopic features are repeatably produced at all, let alone at the scale of modern semiconductor fabrication. They can deposit layers of material measured in atoms. As in, 'Now I want a layer of copper 4 atoms thick' [1].

This table shows the actual measurements of the features of a device for each node:
