Anecdotally, I think people are voting for people who don't 'feel' like a politician. It doesn't so much matter what they're saying, more than they're addressing the specific issue that upsets you, and distancing themselves from "those in power". Politicians (in general) seem so far removed from everyday life, anyone promising to act for the everyman, and distancing themselves from 'establishment' is going to get some kind of traction. Add clever uses of technology into the mix and it gets pretty potent.
Thanks, I was blind, but now I see.
How much do I need to wait until TensorFlow can run stable and at the same speed as on cuDNN on AMD hardware? I can't even contemplate buying AMD right now (gaming is not very important to me).
Getting Product Management and Engineering in Sync
The story doesn't make it clear how the flip chart is being used. Any time I've seen flipcharts used in a presentation, they were not pre-created, but rather blank and the person drew on them while they spoke.

If that was the case in the story, then it would explain how it might be less distracting than pre-made slides.
Heh, I remember the sound over here (The Netherlands) sounding just slightly different. Probably differences in negotiation? Amazing what nuances the brain can pickup when exposed to something often enough.
I think this would only be legal in the UK if it was made clear that the communications were subject to monitoring; see https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisations/documents/1066/em... pp58 onwards.

I can see it being argued both ways; transcripts of Bloomberg chat were a key part of the LIBOR scandal, for example. And I can also see there being some need to monitor internal chat in case it's used for unacceptable purposes such as sexual harassment.

Something about the automatedness of a very private situation gives me the creeps, though.
How Climate Change Affects Cartography
Apple and others are already divesting from Qualcomm and have been for some time. This merger most likely won't affect this situation. Apple will most likely effect the merger. Imagine buying up a company that is going to soon lose one of, if not, its biggest customer.

>or more of a merger in practice.

This my thinking as well. Qualcomm's product portfolio is on par or beyond what Broadcom is doing. I imagine this is an "easy" way to suddenly get world-class ARM and cellular modem products and all the world-class talent behind those products.

Maybe this is also an admission that Broadcom can't compete going forward. From my own experience, Broadcom chips and their firmware are by the far the most buggy and poorest performers I've worked with. Broadcom is the only OEM I know of with "special instructions" to put their products in production. Using a hypervisor? Turns out Broadcom cant write VMQ code, so you need to disable that feature. Using a Broadcom N wifi chip, good luck, as its poorly compatible with others and has endless performance issues. Broadcom bluetooth? Get used to disconnects and interference issues.

This might be a "buy to survive" attempt by Broadcom.
Must the 21st century be characterised by paranoia/vigilance? :(
As someone that cares greatly about the Postgres ecosystem there aren't nearly enough books out there, so really excited to see this one come to life. Instead of targeting DBAs the focus on app devs is very refreshing so that people can start to leverage more of the awesome in Postgres. I haven't yet read the book myself but absolutely will.

If you're curious to read some of Dimitri's writing ahead of time his blog is also a great resource - http://tapoueh.org/
"Airlines" don't collectively do anything. Most airlines' medium tier status and up generally entitles members to some extra baggage allowance, but eg. British Airways basic economy has no baggage allowance, including for status holders.
I'm still waiting for those flying cars predicted in the 50s.
As a frequent reader of Kevin’s, I can say that he’s certainly not tech-ignorant. In fact, the article itself suggests a pretty decent grasp on the issues.

Regarding weenie-ism, he predicts driverless trucks in 2027, which seems perfectly reasonable to me. Now have a look at this article:

http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/02/05/382664837/map-t...

So if only that one prediction is accurate, the most common job in 30 US states will be disappearing in 10 years. How is that not worth addressing?
No, I don't address that point in this book.

It gives you plenty SQL techniques to avoid ever having to LOOP in a PL/pgSQL function, and show how to use PL/SQL rather than PL/pgSQL each time it is possible, though.
An introduction to the LightBulb Framework: Evade WAFs using automata learning
As I mentioned in anther post, Apple are already making their WiFi and Bluetooth Chip, W1 ( Bluetooth ) in Airpod, W2 ( 802.11n + Bluetooth 4.2 ) in Apple Watch.

So Apple has been testing a lot of things in their smaller volume products. Their next chip W3, will likely catch up to 802.11ac and Bluetooth 5.
Sometime around the housing market crash (though unrelated, I assume) Google seemed to give up on fighting spam sites and just harshly down-ranked anything that's wasn't an ultra-high-traffic site. A little while later (2010? 2011?) their search got much "smarter" and it became difficult to impossible to trick it into giving you less-popular results using well-crafted searches. A big (and very good!) chunk of the web became way less visible over that span of 2-3 years or so—and my impressive-even-to-other-developers Shaolin Google-Fu was defeated by Google's Tiger Style :-(

You can also see the ugly results of their new ranking system any time you search for a simple answer that deserves maybe two sentences, and are greeted with ten search results all of which are a dozen rambling, content-free paragraphs, with a title closely matching your search and with your answer buried somewhere inside (maybe). That reads as "high value" and "high relevance" so google eats it up, even though it's 100% grade-A garbage content.
Does it cover development in some particular language? E.g python+sql?
Yeah. But these are two different exercises. You have on screen presentations on one side, which is probably less than 5% of the use of powerpoint in large companies, and pitchbooks which are probably like 95%.

Pitchbooks are never meant to be shown on-screen. They are paper handouts (or on-screen on a tablet or PC). They are as much a visual aid for the meeting for charts and bullet points, than a take away to avoid people having to take notes. It de facto replaced word documents in large companies outside of a few formal documents.

So it has to be concise enough to be efficient. The rule of thumb is that you should be able to read the title and subtitle of every slide only and get the message that the pitch carries. It should have an executive summary that serves the same purpose. But it needs to be detailed enough, with an appendix and footnotes, for someone who didn't attend to get all the important details.
E.ON announced ultra-fast charging network in Europe with 10.000 charge points
It's mighty weird to think of Broadcom as capable of buying Qualcomm. It'll be interesting to see if RISC-V activity increases after a merger like this. NXP has been a member, Qualcomm has been a member..

I don't think this really fundamentally changes the availability devices, or their leverage on the market (aside from Qualcomm's maneuvering becoming part of Broadcom's activities). I don't see why people in here are calling for regulatory involvement. This does not form any more of a monopoly than there already has been (on part of Qualcomm being basically being the sole enabler of LTE).
That's how leveraged buyouts work.

Writing extendable and hardware agnostic GPU libraries
Sure, but with a universal income that barely keeps them above water, they will continue to spend everything they get and drive the main consumer economy.
Truck drivers are held up as the classic example of a job that will be decimated very soon. A million jobs, wiped out, read the fear mongering headlines.

The hysteria is remarkable. Ten Million plus jobs are created and destroyed every single year in the US. We're facing at least a 8-12 million person jobs gap, in terms of not having enough labor, over the next ten years alone (with 6.5 million unfilled full-time jobs right now and the U6 rate pushing down toward two decade lows). And that's assuming modest average economic growth of perhaps 1.5% annually (2.5-3% and we'll have an extreme labor shortage).

To amplify the actual context problem, if we had a perfect solution for automating away truck driving jobs today, it would take decades to fully deploy it. In reality, we're still a decade away from meaningful scale commercial testing.
> you need to use relative pointers and such

I don't think this qualifies as a performance overhead, though, beyond the odd isub.
Qualcomm from the article isn't happy with the deal on their own.

"Qualcomm is preparing to fend off the unsolicited offer, arguing it undervalues the company, people familiar with the plans have said. Qualcomm will argue that the proposal is an opportunistic move to buy the chipmaker on the cheap, the people said, and it will likely recommend that shareholders reject it"
That makes sense, but you have to draw a line somewhere - you can't possibly know everything from the ground up. You'd have to start with particle physics, atoms, molecules, to even get to the basis of electricity - it's impossible for one person to know all of this.

I would recommend reading "I, Pencil" http://www.econlib.org/library/Essays/rdPncl1.html to help put your mind at ease.
Because browsers can and do lie? Often to get around such "serving the right version" logic.

Or the "Browse the web faster and more securely, try (Chrome|Edge)" crap?
This is correct, up to a point. Once you pass the threshold of around $90k, you can no longer write the income tax you pay on your foreign income off. For example, if you make the equivalent of $100k in Europe, you can write off the income tax on the first $90k. However, you then have to pay US income tax on that remaining $10k.
Be sure to check out Stout as well, we use it to deploy our static apps and it works and does all the config for you: http://stout.is
Well, that's not exactly true. For the main period of transition and skilled laborers prior to the tremendous increase, it has been a catastrophe.
He has a team of 11 doing it. It's not just him. It's a small business.
Given the entangled licensing situation, what would happen to Intel if AMD went bankrupt? Would they not lose their x86_64 license, unless they bought what remained of AMD? And if they did, would that raise some major antitrust issues?
> For a knowledge or creative worker it's similarly easy to verify expected performance.

No it really isn't! Coding performance metrics are a wasteland of failed techniques.
The point is that starting a new company to compete with Apple is effectively suicide, not that an existing business with billions in capitalization like Samsung et al can't do it.
IE is not a modern browser. ~30 Chrome versions have been released since IE11.
On the other hand, powerpoint has good font size defaults. I haaaaate when people use one of those javascript presentation things (or, shudder, something home grown), because their fonts are ALWAYS[1] too small for me to read (I don't have great eyesight, even with glasses, I can't always read everything at a distance), while powerpoint is typically pretty readable (as long as you have no more than 5 points on a slide... after that, it gets too small)

[1] in my experience thus far
>I fear that what will happen is that the unemployed/underemployed masses will be manipulated into focusing their frustrations on culture wars, kinda like what is happening now and has happened in the past. 'Those people are taking your jobs!' 'Those people are amoral and lazy!' 'Those people are terrorists!' 'Those people are taking benefits that were meant for you!'

That's partly what this job-stealing automation hysteria is about. Robots are also a convenient scapegoat.
They qualify their stand by adding "... shipping today on modern Intel-based computers"
CNET was always the 'PC World' magazine level of reviews for the masses. Lacking in detail/substance
It could probably be easily accomplished by filtering out sites that use JS libraries like jquery, etc.
The book definitely go into advanced usage. If you're already fluent in LATERAL joins, GROUPING SETS, Arrays, and JSON techniques, you might get bored to some degree.

Every single chapter has some beginner, then intermediate, then advanced topics covered, so I think everybody should have some of the right content, really. I tried and paid attention!
so microkernel is finally a thing!
Pretty cool to see those revenue numbers. I assumed Avago would have been bigger revenue wise than NXP and Freescale (even with assuming you're using 2016 not 2013 revenue for them)
Can't charge taxes if it doesn't have revenue I guess.
This is most businesses in general where healthy and creatively destructive competition takes place.
It would be nice to wrap a Jupyter notebook in this format. I'd be able to produce beautiful webpages quickly from research material!
I'd rather read. Skipping over video is an exercise in frustratingly watching snippets to see if you've overshot or not.
Given there is Apple's money in both Western Digital and Bain Capital in the bid for Toshiba's NAND business. My guess is this take over will similarly have Apple's money in it as well.
Neither I, my friend, nor any of our peers doubted who was better at STEM subjects -- he was and is.

The whole thing was a pitch to get him to transfer (I think he would have easily gotten in), but he didn't want to leave our home state.

My point was merely that the school I went to pushed the boundaries of my thinking, while his (at least in that class) did not.

Did that make my school better? For my personal goals, it did. For his personal goals, it did not.
Devs frequently assume "Chrome", because that's what they use. So, passing an unexpected argument to addEventListener will break LTS releases.

Not really feeling sold on this.

It's called "Mastering PostgreSQL" but the site reads like it's trying to convince beginner programmers that SQL iteself is useful.

Even the case made here: http://tapoueh.org/blog/2017/11/mastering-postgresql-in-appl...
seems like it would only be convincing to someone who has never had to write much SQL and also has not already had to do a pattern like that in an API call.
That's good to know, I had never come across that! Thanks.
Their point is that you don't need to go to college to be a software developer, and if you're trying to say that you need to be Bill Gates-level lucky to get away with that, that's a really dubious argument.
I really miss their Mac reviews, which they don't do any longer. Quality photography, heat and screen measurements as well as benchmarks, and some real, technical insights. Even if they were slightly biased towards the Mac.

Compare the 2013 Retina article -

https://www.anandtech.com/show/6023/the-nextgen-macbook-pro-...

All the attention they gave the 2016 was basically a presser with stock photos from Apple -

Yes, very fast. His output increased tremendously in 2000 when he got one of the first USB 2.0 keyboards.
Mastering PostgreSQL in Application Development is meant to target any development environment, yet it does target some ecosystems: Python, PHP, Java and Go receive a special treatment, and I must confess Python is covered way more than the other choices.
This seems kind of weird to say, but I wonder how much of the demise of the "old school tech reviewers" is the massive quality improvement in many/most categories coupled with a massive decrease in price as well.

A "good" 1991 TV was a 27" that cost about $1400 (in 2017 dollars)

Today $1,400 will get you a 65" 4k Curved TV that weighs less, consumes less energy and (to someone from 1991) would have what appears to have a sci-fi level of image quality. The fact that it also has apparently nearly everything on demand for the price of a single movie rental is likely also astonishing.

I just feel like it's hard to walk into a BestBuy and get what you could call a "bad" TV for $500.
Adblock Plus browser add-on gets comfy with Firefox 57
I think Frondo is saying you should just change your example niche from Food trucks to something like barber shops that are small businesses with the same problems but usually directly benefit more from software and internet presence. A website with booking calendar is a clearer benefit than "just" web presence.
I think most people don't actually want "growth", they just want a good quality of life for themselves and their family.

Unfortunately, most of our economic assumptions are predicated on the notion that an economy that isn't growing must be stagnating. There hasn't been much work on how to sustain prosperity without growth, i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steady-state_economy
Are you referring to user agents? Serving different code based on user agent is considered bad practice, and would be a maintenance nightmare. Not to mention, serving different JavaScript would make it more difficult to reason about what is running client-side. Plus, user agents are neither canonical nor necessarily even reliable sources of information about the browser.
Doesn't look like a rumor:

https://newsroom.intel.com/editorials/new-intel-core-process...
Because intel saw all the dollars pouring into things like SCCM and other enterprise management solutions and wanted a slice of that pie and the only feasible move to grab that market was a hardware solution, like a poor man's iLO. The same way they saw dollars pouring into RAID controllers and integrated its own soft raid solution into their hardware. Not to mention their other market oddities like their mobile x86 chip, their SSD line, Intel TV, etc.

The promise of dollars makes men do odd things.
Because it's bad behaviour to rely on browser user agents instead of feature detection. It's what led to IE-only sites and is currently leading to Chrome-only sites.
The usage of the word 'polymorphism' in case of 'generic programming' introduces so much confusion. IMHO, polymorphism should be used only for inheritance (virtual inheritance in C++).
That's not what I asked.
Any communications where the user has an expectation of privacy (this includes company chat programs) should be securely stored (encrypted), and require a court order to access, that goes through normal legal proceedings (e.g. in a criminal or civil case). It should not be legal for a random manager or company to access this data.

The key here is expectation of privacy. If you're posting on a JIRA ticket, you have no expectation of privacy within those with access to the board, nor if you send an email as it can easily be forwarded (although that could be contentious). If you send a message through a DM on slack though, you can expect that to remain private indefinitely.
I'd think that would have to be some rtos used in cars or other consumer products.
AMD has a decent bump of being up over 6% so far today (markets open for 15 min). I was going to go in but read this news too late. Amd is too volatile and random to her short term they'll go up more than the current 6% bump.
Sure. Some stern men in suits came over one day and showed them Guantanamo_Bay.avi and AbuGhraib.mp4.
A type is an expression. The type of an expression is the result of evaluating the type expression, in this case, "list a". In other words, the type constructor invocation that gives the expression its type is itself an expression. In that context, I'm wondering how type expressions differ from "stages"--does the type expression language need to be sufficiently complex (e.g., Turing complete)?
Need? I don't need to see them at all. But business/first class products are sold as luxury, and have more staff per passenger than non-premium cabins -- it's not entirely unreasonable to expect them to pass through on a regular basis and offer to have your drink or coffee refreshed. Generally this has absolutely been the case when I've flown in premium cabins.
Oh, so still not confirmed officially.

Why would AMD agree to this? This would massively eat into Raven Ridge laptop sales.
AMD should focus on getting great support for their existing tech. If their current GPU lineup would be better supported by Tensorflow & the likes that would greatly increase their adoption. Also, more RAM per GPU guys. Memory is a big bottleneck for many models I use.
IME has 'total and access', but so does MINIX, it would appear. Relevantly, MINIX is what you would exploit to break into Ring -3. The article conflates them deliberately.
You can get this now if you are military or have plenty of spare cash lying around. The problem is that to get this level of resolution your sensor needs to be nearer the earth, and thus your platform has a shorter lifespan because it will be subject to greater atmospheric drag, and thus its per-picture cost will be comparatively very high. This might prompt the question, why not put it farther away with a bigger lens? Well, there is an upper limit on the size/weight of the lens that you can lob up to any given orbit, and thus it's less feasible to get this level of resolution from a higher orbit. You also have the issue of swath width to think about - generally the higher your resolution the smaller your imaging area, which might limit the usefulness and thus the price you can charge for your imagery.

I think drone aerial imagery holds more promise than satellite imagery. Who knows though, perhaps with fancy new image processing algorithms and sensors we will get the level of resolution you are talking about from satellite imagery at reasonable cost over time.

Edit: or with bigger cheaper rockets.

Lots of fascinating content in that blog!
Who owns Poloniex and Bittrex? How are they licensed? Do they segregate customer funds from operating funds?
I mean, the dangerous thing about ME is not the operating system, but the level of access each module has, and the lack of consumer insight.

This article seems to be trying to fluff up ME by defending MINIX (is it MINX3? that's cool, but still doesn't make ME sit right).
Yes the book targets more the SQL beginners, which are in my experience developers of all levels, from beginners to experts.

The title is inspired to a great deal by an idea of how to best learn new things, which is very nicely covered in the following Ted Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/sal_khan_let_s_teach_for_mastery_n...

Sweet. I'll give your book a read then. Gaining a more solid SQL foundation to avoid LOOP in the first place is what I need.
Intel confirms high-performance mobile CPU with AMD Radeon graphics
prad.de is another good one for monitor reviews.
Also, the current trendy management practices in software like: "Move fast and break things," "Release crap early and iterate," and "QA is a useless cost" don't transfer over to manufacturing hardware.
Yeah it makes sense in premium cabins, but in economy I'm not sure why they bother with food or drinks on such short flights at all really. I'd rather they left us alone as there's no enough space to serve food properly and these aren't long flights. They just get in the way of people who need the bathroom.
Might want to fix on safari, not very magical
I think this would be Intel+Radeon division and not the AMD CPUs, Intel would still compete with the AMD CPU division
