As a teen, I did lighting design at an outdoor amphitheater. The only time you could see the lights was at night, so I worked through the night a few times each year before new shows.

But as an adult, writing code, never. By this time in life, I’ve used up whatever sleep reserves have. If I were to stay up for a night, I’d not be able to function the next day.

Kids keep me up at night too much anyway. :)
For those of us who just want Linux on the phone, but don't know much about hardware and low level stuff: What can we expect?

How powerful are these going to be? I guess asking how they compare to current phones performance-wise is not the point of this phone, but it would be nice to know where this stands.

Also, if it's not too early to make predictions, how long will the thing last battery-wise? Iirc the laptop situation in Linux had some stuff like powertop which helps, but it's still tricky.
I occasionally bike with one earbud in with just normal wired earbuds and tuck the other one into my shirt. What am I missing out on with wireless earbuds?

First off Sublime Text is a great tool and has saved me so many hours of time over the years.

I was happy to purchase a license. I did use it for free initially but after a while you're like this is a valuable time saving tool so it's easily worth the price.

The free/nag version covers students and those who can't or don't feel they can afford it.

I think the price is fair considering most developers are billing out at $100/hr+/-.

If you're a developer and think $80 is too expensive, look at raising your rates.

Leveling up is something I learned from Patio11, we are all leaving money on the table. Read everything from Patio11 it will help you level up and make more money.

I'm also a fan of Rob at StartUpsForTheRestofUs.com he has some great info too and if you start at the beginning of the podcasts you can follow him along from beach towel drop shipping, to a $XXM exit with Drip.

So try raising your rates on your next project and that will pay for sublime text and other things you need to work more efficient.
If you are not used to the heat and humidity (i.e. coming from a colder clime) then it is very easy to overheat and dehydrate yourself. Don't underestimate the amount of water you have to drink.

You will find that locals will have subtly learned the art of avoiding the worst of it - i.e. avoiding walking outdoors in the middle of the day, and also walking along the side of the street that is in more shade from buildings etc.
Are there any common "home row arrow key" schemes besides the Vim HJKL? Need to determine which to learn, and those 4 have never made sense to me.

ESDF and IJKL look temping

Typing in Dvorak, I'd need to remap anyway before being able to use the keys. May as well pick the best scheme.
Are you allergic to dust mites? My nighttime stuffy nose lessened when I was tested for dust mite allergy and my doctor instructed me to put allergy barriers on my mattress and pillows and launder all of my bedding (blankets included) once a week with hot water.

> "Intel naturally tries to threaten and extend patents as much as they can. But they ISA itself can't be patented."

It is practically impossible to implement these extensions, such as SSE variants, without intel being able to make a case against you. So even if theoretically the ISA can't be patented, for all practical purposes they have the legal power to effectively prohibit a 3rd-party from implementing an x86 core.
I had almost the same experience, except I was moderate sleep apnea rather than severe. I remember being disappointed after the first night with my CPAP because I didn't have the "holy cow, I slept so good and I feel amazing and refreshed now" experience that a lot of other CPAP users were reporting.

Luckily I stuck with it, and after a few months I had to sleep without the machine for about a week and noticed a massive difference - I felt like hot garbage. The whole week without it I was so tired, had headaches every day, constant brain fog, and it was just hard to sleep in general. Now I'm a big believer in the CPAP machine and happily wear it every night.

Bonus: my wife no longer wakes me up every night for snoring ;)
People don't avoid landscape on mobile because most sites are broken but because that orientation doesn't make sense for consuming website content (except video).

Apart from Netflix and video content, phone operating systems are mostly used in portrait too. So if you're checking email, using the phone or another app, etc. and then go to a browser, you'd have to rotate your phone to get into landscape mode. Even if you optimize it for landscape, it's highly unlikely to be a better experience over portrait. So most people don't do it.

Last time I looked at the overall mobile numbers, landscape and portrait were pretty close as far as usage. But that's including Netflix and other streaming video applications.

When they talk about how much usage native mobile apps have over mobile browser apps/sites they also don't exclude Netflix. That use-case skews the data.

My theory - people that use landscape mode on mobile browsers are above-average consumers of porn (or video in general at least). :)
Wow, this really struck home the idea of useful forms of generality for me. Definitely reminded me of an interesting section in Polya's book Induction and Analogy in Mathematics that discusses different forms of generality, and when it's useful (in the context of a problem to figure out).
At the time it was released it was the single most expensive consumer product Google made.

One data point and you've plotted a graph and derived an equation for it?

You are one hell of a mathematician.
The title is "how the_donald influences the fake news ecosystem". Then they fail to provide any actual instance of that. Delete the word election from my comment (even though that was when this term was invented). And even then there is hardly one lame example of an image that the president retweeted, which was just a sort of conspiracy theory, not "fake news" that people thought was an actual news story.

It is a heavily loaded term. A rumor, or a nutjob conspiracy theory, or a trolling joke, all of these and more have been called "fake news". Is that what we're worried about now? I would say not. What I understand by fake news is a false story reported by a news channel or website or newspaper. For example, CNN reported on TV that "it is illegal to look at the wikileaks dump, except for us". This is fake news. I'd like for such articles to tackle this, not random trolling and conspiracy theories.

Sure. The rule you suggest might be good coding practice --- but people can disagree, and their omitting the extra braces doesn't make the code wrong. An existing correct program shouldn't one day stop building because someone added a warning that enforces your preferred operating precedence marking style.
Your eyes are horizontally aligned, so is your monitor (most likely).

Was just thinking that as well, the hard part about changing GitHub hosts like bitbucket/github is the feature parity between them. This is really enticing though.
My commute to work is 10 minutes. I poop and shower at home, in my own lovely bathroom. I cook elaborate meals at home and serve them to people I love.

I guess I'm just surprised when people don't share the same joy of cooking. Or, for that matter, taking an excellent bowel movement in one's own toilet.

The Mill is certainly novel, but I don't quite follow how "open-source commoditization" is non-incrementally innovative. What are the innovations with respect to other RISC architectures like MIPS or ARM? Or do you just mean the development model is likely to lead to more innovation?
Large corporations are all on the verge of bankruptcy.
Why do the words:

"according to the results of a Harvard-Northeastern survey of 4,000 gun owners."

as opposed to say "50,000 (carefully) randomly selected people in the US"

... make me judgmental about this article?
Yes, that's exactly what I had in mind. Regardless of what inspired the development of Java (and as this quote makes clear, both Smalltalk and Simula were on the list), the result clearly bears more semblance to Simula.

A relatively simple mental exercise to prove the point is to look at various Simula and Smalltalk constructs, and see how well they map to Java (1.0) constructs. For Simula, you'll find a nearly 1:1 correspondence on syntax alone, with nested functions being the primary pain point. With Smalltalk, you'd stumble as soon as you run into the first block.
I mean, you can not like fighting games if you want, but the skill ceiling in fighting games is actually insanely high -- much higher than the majority of games.
Similarly good bankroll management always accounts for risk of ruin for the stakes and game type. Limit holdem and pot limit omaha have vastly different requirements due to variance, for example. Also why the top players are so frequently staked by 3rd parties, they recognize the need to reduce their risk.
I agree with the thrust of your post, but you're underselling how much time and energy people can devote to discovering absolutely perfect runs of single-player games.
I love the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. Kind of like mini versions of what you are talking about. ;-)
Neither keybase chat nor signal are the future of communication; matrix is.
New genres constantly get "created", MOBA, MMORPG or to the name the most recent one being on the verge of becoming its own thing: Battlegrounds

Sure one could argue these are just different game modes of established genres, but where to draw that line, how to define a "genre"? Imhho it's the same as with music, there are no clear-cut lines, concepts just bleed into each other, adopt each other, creating entirely new concepts in the process.

Our modern gaming landscape is amazingly diverse, people who think games had been more "original back then" are usually remembering things through the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia.
Systemd walks into a newspaper...
Wow, hadn’t thought about that possibility. Too bad for professional narrators of Audible (and other) audio books. I am a happy customer of Audible, and have some favorite narrators. Sad to think that they will lose work.

I am the tech manager for a machine learning team and potentially eliminating jobs is the bad side of my field. That said, I think AI, in some sense of the term, will also help us be more efficient. I imagine everyone having effective assistants that help us in our work, help with communications and scheduling, etc.
Well, sure, I would like to see healthcare decoupled from jobs as well -- and frankly I'd think the startup lovers here would support it too, given that healthcare is actually a big barrier to entrepreneurship.
I'm a little too young to remember the previous era, hence my bias. :)
> try raising your rates on your next project

That should hardly be necessary! I live on probably 1/10 of the average (OECD) developer salary as I intensely dislike working so minimise it. Yet I'd have no problem paying for ST. For people living on truly minimal salaries in developing countries, I'd say just use it unlicensed and make a genuine mental promise to buy a license if/when you can afford it. It's hard to imagine the ST developer would object.
His comment was edited, it originally said (Disclaimer: I work for Google) and was changed after my comment was posted. I think that action speaks for itself.

"The type char, the signed and unsigned integer types. and the enumerated types are collectively called integral types. The representations of integral types shall define values by use of a pure binary numeration system."

And a footnote on that:

"A positional representation of integers that uses the binary digits 0 and 1, in which the values represented by successive bits are additive, begin with 1, and are multiplied by successive integral powers of 2, except perhaps the bit with the highest position."
My first thought was Armory + Oil Reserve is potential to blow up the island and open the gates of hell. That sounds like a big risk to me.

I bought directly and was passed around by Google and Huawei support for months (and multiple calls; hours of my time wasted - why can't anyone just do support by email anymore?) before ultimately giving up on getting the constant battery issues addressed. Initial contact was precisely 3 weeks outside of the warranty period for the now well-documented phone shuts off when battery reaches [15|30|50]%.

I feel like I purchased a year's worth of problem-free phone experience for nearly $CAD900. To me, that's not great value.

Many people who were pro Bernie were against status quo. Hilary was basically continuation of old policies.

You're also forgetting that one doesn't have to vote for Trump to have an effect, many democrats also stayed home or voted 3rd party (especially since media guaranteed that Hilary will win)
I’d suggest reading The Colony blog for an idea of what lawyers are saying.
Fighting games remain something with offline multiplayer games and in many cities there's a scene with people regularly getting together to play... so that's pretty cool.
Small detail but it's an Erlang/OTP application which supports building HTTP, HTTP/2, and web socket services on top of Ranch (a TCP connection management library by the same author). Ranch makes it easy to manage TLS setup as well as connection pool tuning to fit your load profile, keeping latency reliable and low.

Since it's built as an OTP application, it's pretty easy to drop this into any release, including something built using Elixir (commonly via Plug), LFE, Alpaca, and/or plain Erlang.
Right, which is why promoting communication between individuals from different cultures via translation services won't necessarily noticeably improve relations between those cultures as a whole.

You can have friends in other countries and still happily go to war against those barbarians/heretics/whatever-your-justification-is, and keep telling yourself that you are doing it just as much for them as for yourself, even if they might currently disagree.
This is assuming US.

You don't need to register for tax reasons. When doing taxes you report that income on, I believe, Schedule C form (which corresponds to a line in 1040 Form). Creating a company (LLC or S Corp) will cost you a bit of money and a bit of additional accounting/tax hassle.

As to people suing you.

A lawsuit would cost at least thousands of dollars in lawyer costs. No sane person will spend thousands of dollars to recover tens of dollars (or whatever your newsletter would cost).

Not to mention that unless you clearly defrauded them, they would not win. "I don't like what I bought" is not a winning legal argument.

The worst that can happen is that if they paid via credit card they can issue a chargeback through their bank. Which is why if you have angry customers that are not satisfied with your product, refund them quickly, no questions asked.

You don't need terms of service. In practice they'll not make any difference.

If you really want some meaningless text on your website, you can pay a lawyer, use a services that sells cookie cutter TOS or copy TOS of someone who does a very similar thing.
SEEKING WORK - Houston, TX / Remote / Travel OK

Available from October 11 (next week) onwards.

I'm a full stack web developer doing everything from desktop Electron apps to backends for mobile apps running on AWS.
I'd be happy to help with your next project whether it's working on a large, existing codebase or building a user-facing product from scratch.

Here are some of the technologies I typically work with:

Backend => Python/flask or django, node.js, go
Frontend => ES2015 JavaScript, (+ TypeScript if possible!), React+Redux or riot, preact, SASS, Bootstrap
Storage => postgres, sqlite3 redis, RethinkDB

I cut my coding teeth writing compilers in C++ and Scheme, so I'm confident I can figure out whatever stack you need me to.

Shoot me an email at phil@upvalue.io or check me out further at https://upvalue.io or https://github.com/ioddly
What is oddly absent from the time comparisons is the practice of video review (not just explicit challenges, but the pauses for internal reviews of close calls to decide whether to challenge). This is not inherently a bad thing, IMHO.

What does need discrete limits is the number of player (not coaches -- which are already limited to once an inning without removing the pitcher altogether -- just catchers and infielders) visits to the mound. Some teams, like the Dodgers, will do multiple such visits within a plate appearance.
"The Harvard/Northeastern study is based on a survey of nearly 4,000 Americans conducted online in 2015 by a market research company, GfK, with a nationally representative panel of opt-in participants who are compensated to complete surveys on a variety of issues."

So, total garbage, then? Most gun owners I know keep the fact that they own guns private. They will not tell the truth when telephone pollsters call ("Oh, no... no guns here!") and they certainly aren't going to be participating in some online "opt-in" survey.
I've remapped capslock to ESC. I can't remember ever wanting to use capslock mode since I first learned to touch type. Much easier to have Esc there. Or Backspace, Home, End, or delete are also good options.
Oh, that's good! But the website and documentation is pretty outdated then. I guess all current development goes into code?
Once they got old enough, sure. Until then, women typically took care of them. Good luck working alongside an 18 month old.
It doesn't? It's 53 min from Tuas Link at the extreme western tip of Singapore to Raffles Place by MRT, and you'd be hard pressed to find a place in Singapore where even a connecting bus would add more than 30 min to that.
IANAL, but yes, sure looks like a FRAND violation. And that is the lawsuit in a nutshell!
I honestly don't know how I misread GP so badly... too late to edit now.
So? 99% of my use of ftp or telnet are for internal network use. And if I must telnet somewhere, I know to use a tunnel. Or my traffic doesn't need to be encrypted.

Why not remove netcat, as well? It opens unencrypted sockets. Or perhaps wget, since it lets you download unencrypted http? Even git has a built in ftp client.

There's nothing at all obsolete about ftp or telnet. They both implement their respective protocols fully and properly.

New devices shouldn't implement ftp or telnet, but that doesn't mean that having the ability to connect to them is no longer something that happens.
I've just created multiple chrome people. You can create a chrome person, even without signing in, so you don't necessarily need a google account for each person.
Common Lisp implementations admittedly vary in how well they support interacting with the stack in this way, but some of them do it just fine, as did the Lisp Machines. (The Lisp Machine developers were heavily influenced by Smalltalk, so I'm not saying Smalltalk doesn't deserve credit for the innovation; I'm just wondering what I'm missing, if anything, by using CL today.)
The key thing is walking slowly to minimize energy expenditure. The Malays, in particular, have this down to an art, while the average New Yorker or Scandinavian will spontaneously combust after walking two blocks.

I disagree, with the number of people pushing blockchain when they just want a distributed ledger, an article like this is quite helpful.
You only threw attacks and condescending comments instead of explaining Smalltalk's IDE way of keeping files, which I did. You are doing a disservice to the Smalltalk community with such an attitude.
Seems like this hardware may be the start of a pivot back towards RISC for general computing.

I doubt it. RISC-V will probably be seen more as "truly free and open MIPS", and maybe eventually start growing CISC-ish extensions --- they will have to if they want to become/remain competitive with other more popular architectures. Even ARM has become more CISC-y with the introduction of more special-purpose instructions.

Would make an excellent chip for building super secure network edge devices or FreeNAS box.

That is where I think RISC-V will find a lot of adoption --- since many low-end routers and other network devices already use MIPS (and have barely adequate performance.)
I get it, but it's essentially Google wanting to have their cake (marketing to customers: "It's a Google phone! Pure Google all the way, baby!") and eat it, too (product support: "Uhhh, yeah, we uh, we don't make this thing, it's all Huawei, we're just a humble retailer."). I agree that it's absolutely bad for Google's image to operate this way, as you can see from the comments in this thread. People aren't mad at the OEMs Google paid to manufacture their devices, they're mad at Google.
The term "natural causes" is a misnomer for "non-human-agent causes".

But what if your training logic needs a change in ETL - You have to iterate on ETL too. So doing it inline makes a lot of sense.
Microsoft has done something like this with SQL server + R offering. Personally I find the MS approach quite appalling. You have to load your model in a PLSQL script, so the ETL + running the model is seamless, but imagine debugging and oh forget about multi GPU support.
