I paid for "Signature required" delivery once on an item and received an email that it has arrived.

Is SolarCity considered a quicker replacement to the damaged power grid and supply?

That a truck can carry far more energy in the form of petroleum than it can in the form of batteries is one of the arguments against wasting fossil fuels on non-extreme conditions, like regular transportation and non-emergency electric power generation.

For Puerto Rico right now cheap, even if relatively inefficient, generators and lots of fuel seems like a good way to help in the very short term. Military surplus diesel generators, for example, are really cheap for how much power they can output with enough fuel.
Kay starts off by citing Moore's law, but misses that Moore's Law hasn't been kind to Smalltalk. Specifically, CPU power has grown at a faster rate than memory bandwidth, to the point that going to main memory is hundreds of times slower than the L1 cache.

I believe the pendulum is swinging back from dynamic languages to compiled languages with stronger static guarantees. Languages that are parsimonious with memory and give you control over the layout when you need it.

Don't get me wrong. Smalltalk is a hugely influential language and we're better for having it, but it was designed in an era where hardware had very different performance characteristics from today's hardware.

I once had someone at a gas station try to verify my signature against the card. I have always signed things with arbitrary (though lately, consistant) scribbles.

They tried to claim that it couldn't possibly be my card because they didn't match. After a few minutes of back and forth with the cashier I realized that I had already paid for my chips and smokes, so I just grabbed my stuff and left.

It was incredibly frustrating.

You are right that per FTE is probably a better measure technically, but this just leaves the unions a loophole: they can just classify workers as something other than FTE. They are very clever at finding these sorts of loopholes and exceptions.

What they can't do though is lie to the tax office. That crosses a threshold from being misleading to being illegal.

There is a big incentive for unions to be misleading about what their members are paid. It's hard to garner a lot of sympathy from the public when the average member of the public is paid a lot less than the average union member. That's not to say that this is always the case - the wages, agreements and marketing to the public by the unions varies significantly between unionised industries.
ABIs tend to implicitly pass by reference anyway for structs larger than two words or so. (For example, in the AMD64 ABI, two 64-bit words is the cutoff for both arguments and return values. On 64-bit Windows, the limit is one word for both, and on 32-bit ARM, it's four for arguments but one for return values.)
True to the definition of the word, but you have a wrong example. "Drug cartels" are anything but, and the only actual cartel in the drug trade is the United States government.
As others have said there are bigger issues than this. Becoming fluent in two clefs is unfortunate, but doesn't take too much time. Adding most lines I could see becoming more confusing and it takes up more vertical real estate. The overall score will expand vertically.

My biggest problem with music notation is it being centered around the key of c major. When ever critiques of current music notation come up I like to bring up the janko keyboard. It has an isometric layout which means that any interval will have the same shape no matter the starting pitch. With this layout if you learn a major scale in one key you've learned it for every key. Transposing from one key to another is just shift your hands. I haven't seen an alternative music notation system which has advantages like this while still being compact and readable.

See here for some experiments in attempts to improve the situation: http://musicnotation.org/

Are you talking from DNA extraction to customer-has-their-results? Or just specific analysis?

For a very high priority sample, DNA extraction can take a couple of days; sequencing prep can take a few hours to a couple days; sequencing can take a couple of hours to a couple of days depending on how much data you need; quality control can take a few hours to a few days; first stage analysis software (just calling what DNA exists and giving it quality scores) can take a few hours also depending on how much data you're analyzing to a couple days; so from initial extraction start until you have DNA data you can analyze for a specific product is a week if you babysit; up to four weeks if you worry more about cost efficiency. After that depends on what type of customer-end analysis you want to do and using what software. Industry standard university level software can take anywhere from a few hours to a few months... again also depending on how much data it's looking at.

Typically the turn-around time (we receive DNA to we've published results to the customer) is around 6 to 8 weeks for most of the analysis products my company sells.

> You didn't give a single hard number.

Considering end-to-end could take a few days (super high priority sample being baby-sat at every step of the way by experienced technicians) to a few months (statistical analysis on populations)... it's pretty hard to give a single number. It really depends on what analysis you want done.

There's a lot of room for improvement in this field of software!
> but this just leaves the unions a loophole

I'm not interested in talking about unions like you are. Merely getting an accurate read on how much an employee earned.

What you're proposing is eliminating the value of people's time from the equation. Working extra hours or unsociable hours should be paid more because they represent the employee trading away their spare time for more money, and as spare time approaches zero the amount they require at the margin should also increase.

I don't think standardizing all hours across all employees is fair in that regard.

I have a 6s 128gb. It was was fast on the latest iOS 10, was acceptable on iOS 11.0, but on iOS 11.1 (currently beta4), it seems as fast as, if not faster than, ever. I think I could happily wait until next year to upgrade, even though I usually upgrade every other year.
You're both wrong and right :p

While the distances between the towns in Australia is massive, most of our population resides in a handful of urban coastal cities.

While car culture is historically dominant, the biggest cities are all seriously trending towards increased densification, and much of our substantial immigration over the past 2 decades had been from nations used to much denser living.

I leave open the question as to whether it is the answer to all societies problems, but it would be a brave man to proclaim that wasn't the way Australian cities and population hadn't been trending for the past 10 years, and we'll likely trend for at least the next 10.
Google Page Speed is an awful tool. For example, it often advices to compress images and even suggests to download "optimally" compressed versions. Those images have awful quality, and have visible compression artifacts. The person who chose this level quality is probably blind.

Also it often gives crazy advices, for example something like "embed CSS code necessary to display the top of the page, right into the page". Not only it is difficult to implement, (what exactly is "the top of the page"? how to understand what part of the code is necessary? what if the user scrolls the page down while loading?), it will make the pages larger and doesn't allow browser to cache embedded CSS. So you have to invest a lot of time and your page will probably load slower as a result.

But at the same time this script doesn't notice obvious things. For example, it never advices to remove or replace web fonts although web fonts are heavy, can cause problems with rendering text (they can lack glyphs, for example cyrillic or CJK characters) and web fonts block text rendering. And they are really unnecessary in most cases because builtin system fonts usually look better at small sizes (at least on Windows).

Also it never advices to remove ads althogh ads often cause high CPU and memory consumption. Why is that I wonder.

The tool always requires to move JS scripts to the bottom of the page. But is it always the best idea? I think in most cases it is not. For example, if you have a button with an onclick handler, it will give a JS error if the button is clicked before the scripts in the bottom of the page have loaded (the problem of dead JS controls). And if you put a small JS script at the top of the page, there will be no error. And what if you have a SPA? In this case the earlier you start to load the scripts the sooner the user will be able to see the data.

Also it always recommends to use a CDN which is not always good idea. For example, if you have a site in Russia or China and move your static files to CDN then it might be farther from the user than your server and even worse, it can get blocked so your site won't even be loading. Adding a CDN often doesn't make performance any better but reduces the reliability and increases your hosting bill.

So Google's script might help you in identifying problems with your site but you should not ever blindly trust any of the recommendations. Please leave client side optimization to people who have expertise in this area.

By the way I had to lessen the image quality to get a better score (and foolow other useless or even harmful recommendations) because our management believes that the score given by this tool (it is Google's official tool after all) affects SEO rankings and obviously they are more important than image quality.

There are a lot of problems that are not at all unique to Seattle or Amazon, and a lot of those overarching issues are going to color any sort of "then vs. now" comparisons. Over the last 40 years there has been zero net income growth for folks in the bottom half of the economy. Meanwhile housing has gotten expensive. Meanwhile the economy outside of cities has crashed and burned, while cities have revitalized and become the primary sources of economic growth. You can buy a house out in "flyover country" but there are no jobs there, and certainly no high paying ones. Cities are where unemployment is lowest, incomes are highest, and housing is the least affordable. And this is a great contrast compared to the situation mid-20th century where cities were being abandoned and getting run down.

Cities have revitalized, and this has brought some salutary benefits, but not without costs. And the huge degree of income and wealth inequality makes revitalization of cities problematic in many ways. Growth doesn't translate to a "rising tide that lifts all boats", it translates to an economy that some people can participate in while others are increasingly pushed out of it. This is not only unsustainable, it's inhumane. There are many ways to tackle the problem but they are going to take years of concerted effort just to get started. For one incomes at the bottom need to be lifted up, and the easiest way to do that is increasing the minimum wage. A lot. It used to be the case that if you had a job, any job, you could at least keep your head above water: pay rent, pay your bills, indulge in a few minor luxuries, and build some savings. Now that's not true, not only for people at the very bottom, but for an increasingly large chunk of the entire workforce. We also need to address affordable housing, but addressing inequality is the more important fix.
Also it recommends to "leverage browser caching". I.e. set unconditional caching of every static resource for a week. Please remember that it means you will have to implement a solution to reset the cache when you deploy new versions of static files. It might be quilte costly to implement correctly on a legacy site. By the way you can trick Google by enabling caching for a week and then appending current time to every link (http://example.com/file.css?t=12:00:00). In this case you will get a good score AND your users will always get the latest versions of the files.

The article says "Then, inline your CSS and JS instead of making external resource calls to them." and this is actually what makes your page heavier.

When I did my high altitude balloon I was struck by the changing wind directions at different altitudes. In this blog there's a picture of the actual drifting flight path: http://blog.jgc.org/2011/04/gaga-1-flight.html

This flight path was pretty closely predicted 48 hours before using NOAA predicted wind data (see this blog: http://blog.jgc.org/2011/04/gaga-1-looking-good-for-sunday.h...). The difference in size between the two 'loops' is caused by a slow ascent and rapid descent.

If I'd had altitude control (like Loon) and uploaded data on wind speed it would have been possible to make the balloon hang around a target area.
The downvotes are presumably because the community doesn't like repetitiveness in comments. It's a topic that's been discussed to death and the community consensus is well-established: as there's a workaround to the paywall, it's a legit submission. No big deal.

I'd expect a polite request for help getting around the paywall probably would've been much more warmly received.
I'm not advocating what you are suggesting. I agree that workers should be paid extra for working additional hours.

I also agree with you that it's important to get an accurate read on how much an employee earned. My point is that there are some people that have an incentive to obfuscate this amount and that I can only see one unambiguous way to avoid this obfuscation.

I think the starting point in these discussions should be what someone was actually paid, not what they might have been paid. Then if that amount can be justified by unsociable hours, extra hours, or whatever, then that's fine. But if the various hours, loadings or whatever seem unreasonable then that's a different discussion.

I wouldn't even normally be interested in what someone's paid - it's not my business. However, the car manufacturing industry is a different case since there was an expectation that tax payer's money should be used to bail it out. In my opinion, tax payers deserve to know what it is that they are paying for, in detail. Particularly in the car industries case since it seemed like every time that the government tipped in more money that it was closely followed by the workers getting a pay rise.
