This says more about the iPhone X than it does about the iPhone 8. Unlike problems with the Pixel, this bodes well for Apple's bottom line.
[citation needed] There are, of course, many people "at the level" of Elon Musk. (I don't mean that flippantly, either.)
Yes. That may have effected demand for the 8.
I have an iPhone7 from work and it is abysmally bad. It keeps stalling when I browse internet and file management is not an option. I miss my old motorola android that just worked every day.
No what?
Interesting, my Note II lasted almost 5 years and there was never any ghosting effect, so I thought Samsung controlled this technology quite well. Then again we can see what happened to batteries...
Thanks for mentioning this. It's awesome to hear that this feature is getting real use!

very interesting, can you elaborate and on it a little more?

I need quick fuzzy search on a low-end embedded device that has limited storage(both RAM and HDD), was thinking about putting the index on a server with plenty RAM then do websocket or RPC for that.
ORMs and RPC / self-documenting API standards are like the Korean and Vietnam wars of programming.
Anecdote for anecdote: I've been enjoying OLED screens on my Android phones since the Galaxy Nexus (2011), and I've never had burn-in or any other display-specific issue.

In my own home, I'd do this wiring myself, assuming I had panel space.

Getting an electrician can be useful for liability purposes, but 240V/85A isn't scary if you do some research on how to do it safely, minimum wire gauge, etc. ahead of time.

This is a much higher amperage than any residential circuit requires, though, and will have trouble fitting on many 150A residential service panels.

If you taboo the words "virtue" and "virtuous", what are you left with? Seems like it can be reduced to utilitarianism. If utilitarianism is "what is right is that which maximizes utility according to this utility function", this idea of virtue maximizing can be restated as "what is right is that which maximizes utility according to this utility function, which states its highest utility is that which makes me act more virtuously, with these comparison heuristics to determine 'more' or 'less' virtuous". My own criticism of utilitarianism is that utility functions aren't always objective, and for different people or different contexts can output different values. If you can agree on a function it can be a useful tool in moral reasoning (and especially uncovering inconsistencies if you've agreed to a few functions then find a contradiction with intuition and what the calculations say) but typically we want to know how we should agree on a function in the first place.
Mostly I plan to use it to ski and climb all over Montana!

Its actually a few years old and I was thinking of trying to make it more of a money maker at one point but other interests have proven more profitable so I'm not sure I'll ever really push for it to become a true business.

I and many of my friends do get a ton of pleasure out of trips planed with it which is its own reward.

The article says that the apparatus included a Geiger counter

A Geiger counter, or a device that makes clicky noises? I'm not disputing the article, I'm willing to believe that the device contained an actual Geiger counter. But in isolation, my point is that this could just as easily be some scam similar to the chess-playing machine that really had a human inside of it. "These dimes have been irradiated with invisible particles! But look, I have a device that clicks in the presence of those magic, invisible particles!" Clicks, huh? Oh, realllly.

And, based on another sibling comment, it was almost a scam in that the radioactive decay was so fast that the dimes might not even make it home before all of the radioactivity went away. In the end, all we have left is a dime that might, or might not, have at one time been irradiated. But even if we could prove it then, we have no way of proving it now.

> ADT's don't scale. Witness haskell's half-decade of heroic effort... just to insert Applicative

Huh? Firstly that has nothing to do with ADTs. Applicative's a type class. Secondly it didn't take effort it just took an agreement to do it and enough warning and checks that everyone had done the minimal rewrites required. If anything taking five years was a sign that it wasn't desperately important, just housekeeping.
Those look great, thanks. Somehow I didn't recognize the "blog" link on the home page as being what I should click on to get a written docs/whitepaper style description.
Sorry, I somehow got Redding confused with Eureka.

Yes, Redding is uncomfortably hot.

In fact, that's generally true: everything inland is hot, and everything on the coast is cold. In between there's a narrow strip that is "just right". SV just happens to be in this sweet spot.
I think it's quite "fun" to keep track of different versions in SOAP, though there's probably a WS-VERSIONING spec plugin that describes a way to do it. That was certainly the source of cursing that I picked up from sitting adjacent to colleagues who maintained a SOAP API.

Also having integrated against a couple SOAP APIs, it's a bit annoying to write API client tests using recording / mocking of HTTP requests -- since the first thing your client has to do is actually grab the WSDL, your recordings are bloated. (I use VCRpy a lot for this use-case, and it's very convenient for REST APIs.)

Not sure where the best practices are on bundling a copy of the WSDL with your binary; not sure if your app can survive the WSDL spec changing under your feet, but at the same time, if the API changes its spec using a cached version of the WSDL won't work either.
Sad to see that it doesn't render the figures properly for this paper: https://www.arxiv-vanity.com/papers/1701.03757v1/

Human energy consumption isn’t anywhere close to what the sun supplies. We just don’t capture much of it.

Life is a dissipative system too. It consumes energy and generates entropy. This can’t go on forever, but I wouldn’t take that as an argument against life.
There's got to be a word for the attitude you are running here.. I can't think of it.

Anyway, as an owner of wireless headphones and wired headphones I definitely wouldn't choose a phone without an aux in. My wireless headphones have stayed uncharged for months - i'm not yet ready to be responsible for charging two devices every night.

Still very strange that they even claimed the citation came from a very specific source. I'm mostly just curious, at this point.

Also, if we count all the various regulations, even at just the Federal level, I'm pretty sure that '300000' is not actually a big number. The US tax code is larger than that.

But, hey! It looks like a big scary number. So, there's that.

(compute-chunk-time * latency * nchunks * ncomms) / n-nodes

obviously this oversimplifies things, but generally as an approximation, there you go.

Problem is not the hardware but the software. Never in my life have I used a shitty OS like Android. Absolute cesspool of a system. Lag, malware, bad UI, bloat and general feeling of being cheap. Windows Phone was much better.
Reaper: Calm Before the IoT Security Storm?
This whole situation frustrates me to no end.

The Pixel 2 XL checks all of my boxes, which really aren't much: runs Android, has a large screen, is fast, has a good camera, is fast, is supported with updates for a few years, and is fast. My S7 Edge has made me truly understand the life pain and suffering that even minor lag can cause.

I implicitly assumed that any phone which would fit those criteria and be in the $700-$800 price range would also have a flawless screen. I'm not even talking about a Note8-level "holy shit that's amazing" screen - more like an S7 level of "nice screen" screen.

A speedy Android UI is so important to me though that I'm at least going to give the phone a shot when I receive it. "Maybe it's just a bad batch," I'm telling myself. And promptly RMA it or return it if there's any issues.

Part of me feels bad that I'm still willing to part with my money to try this phone out. Does that make me a sucker?
It also sounds like you don't have relative line numbers enabled, which makes highlighting or jumping some number of lines quickly pretty trivial: https://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/vim-number/

A Vim truism: if what you're doing requires too many keystrokes or otherwise seems cumbersome, there's another way to do it that faster and requires fewer keystrokes.

It's just a matter of whether you're interested in learning and not assuming you have it all figured out.

I'm wondering if it can be done, or isn't already done, like plasma TVs that rotate pixels and other trickery to keep burn-in at bay. I had a Panasonic plasma for a good ten years that saw its fair share of video games, with health bars and the like, and never saw burn-in. I did see ghosting toward the end of its life, but never burned-in images. The new plasma (Samsung, because I missed the last of the Panasonics) is only a few years old, but no problems with that one yet, either.
2^20 is just above 1M, so that's how many bits you need to capture the darkest and the brightest pixel without losing information (brightest/darkest = 1M). the assumption is that you tone map those 20 bits onto however many bits you have available (8 for standard display, 10 for HDR, 14 for DSLR sensor, etc.) - at least that's my understanding after consulting wikipedia.
I just released ObjFW 0.90.2, an extremely portable Objective-C framework
I would not recommend this objective (at least not for a few years). The reason I actually think it is important to comment on this is that I've seen the pattern a lot where IDE or language devs strive too early to build their own product in their product. While in theory this is useful, in practice I think it's better to wait 5 to 10 years before doing that. Otherwise it's too much of a hard problem and leads to many premature optimizations and resource allocation while taking the focus off of solving other people's problems.

This tool seems to me like it would be fantastic for building and managing strongly typed, 100% code coverage, reliable bug-free microservices. Lots of other tools help you build microservices, but they help you build BUGGY microservices. I think solving the problem of building reliable microservices could be huge.

But this product itself is not a microservice, instead it's an advanced IDE and backend with a lot of different components. So while it would be cool to use isomorf to build parts of isomorf, I'd vote you delay going for this goal for a long while.
To me the article read like a justification of HTM theory, which I find to be more like a cult and less like a science.

Immigration is not a problem. It is an opportunity.

N people live in a place. K people want to move there. You can either find ways to accommodate N+K people, or you can choose not to and have the richest people drive out the poorest (or the middle class if you start building affordable housing). Only one of those two options is classist and xenophobic. Take your pick.
Yes - when I was a kid living in Arkansas we had them all around our house each season. Haven't seen any in Texas or California, where I live now.
Usually what happens in these stories is that a kid makes something that is a pale imitation of current standards, and the parents use their industry connections to get a PR blast about their awesome kid, that gets the kid a leg up in college or getting a job, and the 'invention' is forgotten.

Sure, but what's wrong with that? It's a little unrealistic to expect an 11 year old girl to productize an invention and bring it to market -- she'd have to team up with a schoolmate who is a budding patent attorney to have any hope of doing so without outside funding.

The nice thing about stories like this is that it helps gives inspiration to other young budding scientists.

The real problem is, right now wireless headphones aren't nearly as convenient along a number of axes as wired headphones.

The real solution is, get them to be absolutely as convenient. After all, solving engineering problems is what we're all about here, right?

> Are they just sending yyyy-MM-dd

Yes! If they say that a date is to be in the ISO 8601 format, a reasonable person would assume that this means the ISO 8601 date format.

> or are they adding 00:00:00. Or worse 00:00:00Z. Or even worse 00:00:00+0700?

No! That would be the ISO 8601 datetime format! Why would you assume that they would use the datetime format for a date?

> They don't say!

If they said that dates are converted to RFC 2822 format, would you be griping about whether they were sending yyyy-MM-dd@hostname.tld? No, because it would be obvious from context that it means RFC 2822 date format, not RFC 2822 address format.

Maybe there is a little bit of potential for confusion, because they say "All dates and times will be converted ...", rather than making separate statements for dates and times. But when they say "as specified in the [spec](hyperlink-to-the-spec)" 4 words later, a reasonable person might head over to that spec to clear up any confusion or questions about the behavior.

> We're talking about specific implementation of a spec that they didn't spell out, skip over as if it didn't matter

The did spell out the spec! They included a direct hyperlink to the spec; that link was even in the part that you quoted. And since when is a blog post expected to spell out every little thing that is included in the spec that it's talking about? Especially when every third paragraph says "as specified in the spec" with a link to the relevant page in the spec?
Can someone please describe their workflow using tools like this? Right now I use Charles Proxy for everything and am not sure how this would make it better. Does someone (another team member) share you their API schema? How do you handle headers/auth that needs to be set up all the time?

Around my neck of the woods everyone I know are holding out for the X.
TL;DR - It does come down mainly to the network, but in far more interesting ways than is apparent from some of the answers here - and also the nature of the HPC software ecosystem that co-evolved with supercomputing for the last 30+ years. This community has pioneered several key ideas in large scale computing that seem to be at risk in the world of cheap, lease-able compute.

In scientific computing (usually where you see them), the primary workload is simulation/modeling of natural phenomena. The nature of this workload is that the more parallelism that is available, the bigger/more fine-grained a simulation can run, and hence the better it can approximate reality (as defined by the scientific models which are being simulated). Examples of this are fluid dynamics, multi-particle physics, molecular dynamics, etc.

The big push with these types of workloads is to be able to get efficient parallel performance at scale - so it isnt about just the # of cores, PB of disk or TB of DRAM, but whether the software and underlying hardware work well together at scale to exploit the available aggregate compute.

So the network matters, not just raw bandwidth but things like latency of remote memory access and the topology itself - for example, the Cray XCs going to Azure allow for a programming model (PGAS) that allows for large, scalable global memory views where a program can view the total memory of a set of nodes as a single address space. Underneath, the hardware and software work together to bound latency, do adaptive per-packet routing and ensure reliability - all at the level of 10s of thousands of nodes. In a real sense, the network is the (super)computer - the old Sun slogan.

Where else is this useful? Well, look at deep learning - the new hotness in parallel computing these days - they are all realizing that it's amazing to run on GPUs, but once you have large enough problems (which the big guys do), you end up having to figure out how to efficiency get a bunch of GPUs to efficiently communicate during data parallel training (that efficient parallelism thing). This happens to map to a relatively simple set of communication patterns (e.g. AllReduce) that is a small subset of the kinds that the HPC community has solved for - so it's interesting that many deep learning engineers are starting to see the value of things like RDMA and frameworks like MPI (Baidu, Uber, MSFT and Amazon for starters).

Interestingly though, the word supercomputing is being co-opted by the very companies that you're positioning as the alternative - the Google TPU Cloud is a specialized incarnation of a typical supercomputing architecture. Sundar Pichai refers to Google as being a 'supercomputer in your pocket'.

Then why make a cryptic comment like you did? Cryptic comments kind of invite questions.
"No more “blanket” strategy, trying to force everyone behind a single mission. Every single human being has their own personal meaning and vision, and the organizations of the future will thrive on that."

What a tendentious piece of writing! That common (single) mission isn't supposed to be a direction people get whipped towards, it's supposed to be a beacon for like-minded individuals to rally around and commonly support, it's supposed to be willingly chosen by employees in the moment of singing their contract. And they can also renounce the adherence to such missions at any time by resigning.

"it can give rise to a new kind of organization that actually does not care about “profit” in a standard definition of the world and frankly – no capitalistically run company will see it coming"

Reading this, for some reason I get the sensation that I'm being sold communism. We already have "kind of organization that actually does not care about “profit” in a standard definition of the world"; it's called "non-profit organization" and it does its job well enough, no need for October Revolution here. We have choices and we choose. Maybe the overall picture isn't pretty in all its aspects but what we have accommodates a broad range of our nature's peculiarities. When attempting to think of something better take that into account.
Would something like releasing sterilized males fall into category 1?

For all my insect sympathy and conservation values, I'm absolutely in favor of eradicating the few species of mosquito that bite and carry disease. But every time a pilot springs up to test a method of doing that people get freaked out about releasing "genetically modified mosquitos" into the wild and it never happens. So instead of micro-targeting the pest at the species level we spray toxic chemicals everywhere that 1) don't eliminate the problem and 2) result in a lot of collateral damage.
Apple doesn't release sales figures, on what basis are we assuming the 7 is outselling the 8?
Trick question! "mph" is not a direct measure of throughput. Cars per second (passing a given measurement point) is.

If the spacing of the cars is the same between the two, then a 60 mph lane is moving more cars per second than a 40 mph lane. The spacing never is the same, though, unless these are autonomous cars.

Also, throughput is limited by bottlenecks. If an upstream bottleneck has throttled things to one car every ten seconds, it doesn't matter whether the downstream lane is 30 mph or 60 mph.
