I like the new design better and I won’t switch to the previous version. The display alone is significantly superior.

While I like the previous design and think the 2015 model is pretty great, it is important to chronicle the history as it actually occurred so let me paint some light on some not so rosy features in 2012:

- MacBook Pros in 2012 almost universally had an image burn in issue (on the LG made displays) and it took Apple at least 6 month to reliably sort things out.

- MacBook Pro 2012 almost universally had a dGPU problem that made the machine crash on dGPU (presumably because of solder issues).

Those issues were very serious. Apple eventually did sort them out and the 2015 model is great but it is worth remembering that things take time to perfect. Issues will get fixed over time.

I wonder if those experimentName parameters are to do with serving different example images to different readers. Below, u/Anhkmorporkian mentions an image of sneakers, but I saw images of a woman and of the Golden Gate bridge. Did other readers see different?
Let’s see....

Learn programming in a trade school or study English at an Ivy League school?

My bet would be the programmer will make more money more consistently across a large number of people than the other. They will also probably have less school debt.
Do you also think that no other make-like systems should have been built?
>If Sydney is going to be a real city it needs the development that's happening now.

Or maybe you don't need skyscrapers and millions of people to be a 'real city'. Maybe if that's your idea of a 'real city', nobody needs to be a 'real city'. Maybe some people are okay with the idea of not having a ballooning population, especially given that fast-growing populations in the west are driven by high population growth amongst very poor underclass and high levels of Asian immigration, primarily?

The ikea thing is different. (ok, you’re probably right for many people, but...). I find their issue to be that it’s easy to miss a step, and if you do, you often don’t catch it until 30 minutes later. And then you have to undo everything back to that missed step.
Groovy was a security nightmare. The groovy sandbox simply doesn't do enough to protect a server.

Our scripting language "Painless" is faster and more secure than we could achieve with groovy, so in Elasticsearch 5.0 we made Painless the default and deprecated groovy.

In 6.0, groovy is gone.

We didn't do it to be minimalist, but we couldn't in good conscience continue to ship an insecure scripting language when we had an alternative.

Disclosure: I work at Elastic on security.
It's very similar, but they wouldn't be able to "just use DWARF". Half the DWARF tables are devoted to byte sizes and where variables are stored in stack frame offsets or registers. It's not like you could fork libdwarf or whatever and magically get JS debugging, the effort required to change to the different scenario is enough that it's not worth the effort.
For hundreds of years humans have read printed books to learn things, without talking to teachers. Seems like a weak argument.
You can avoid the second pass...
I recommend FangzhengXiaozhuantiFont-TraditionalChinese.ttf for Small Seal Script and JDFZHUANF.ttf for Large Seal Script.

Both are supported by Pingtype.

https://pingtype.github.io

Sorry that it's slow to load; the fonts have to be downloaded from the server every time because I can't be sure if they're on the user's device. The default font is 12MB. Once it's loaded once, you can re-translate much faster - it's just the first run that's slow.
> It doesn't require wear leveling like SSDs do. It's like RAM in that regard

Are you sure? The article lists a fixed durability of 30 drive writes over 5 years. If it wasn’t wear leveling, those 30 writes would be reached very quickly on specific locations.
newer android versions of qualcomm are coming with uefi
sort of, but not exactly. debuggers in the browser work fine with plain javascript and have the source directly available.

js source maps remind me more of stuff like linespecs that you can give to gdb/lldb for mapping.
It's surprisingly slow process. Tens of seconds seem like ages in molecular physics. One could think an interaction between molecules should happen on a sub-nanosecond scale.
because uefi gives more than booting support, it also acts as firmware interface even after kernel has booted up. Kernel can continue to use uefi services for hw specific things which are abstracted via uefi interface

Here's CouchDB's official announcement of the vulnerabilities:

I really appreciated the quick response of the CouchDB team and how they handled rolling out the patch.
I'm not trying to serve data to Safari (usually), I'm trying to read data from Safari. I often need to get the source of a webpage that's already loaded after a login screen, or with some user interaction.

For example, scrolling down to load all my Facebook messages into the left-hand bar. Or segmenting text into 5000-character blocks, copy-pasting into Google Translate, and getting the output.

With any command-line tools, it would be a hassle, if it's possible at all. With AppleScript, it's easy.
> This isn't just resampling an image

GPUs can do that, too: http://fastcompression.com/products/jpeg/cuda-jpeg.htm

OP is running on google’s cloud: “n1-standard-16 host type, peaking at 12 instances on a typical day.” That instance costs $0.76/hour. Adding NVIDIA Tesla K80 is $0.7 extra.

> it's really tempting not to deal with any of that

Yeah, that’s understandable. But the original article dealt with a lot of strange technologies to get the performance they want. And ended up doing much slower, performance wise, than what’s possible with a GPU.

Higher Education’s Deeper Sickness
A compiler in particular is a very extreme case. Most software is used to its fullest extent by its developer, 90% of bugs are likely to be found by said developer in their normal usage. Another step out, library developers often use their work, but often build in functionality they're not as interested in by request or as a result of generalizing beyond their specific use cases. They might not be the heaviest users of that software, and so aren't as likely to find some of the bugs.

Compilers are the most extreme case. Anything Turing complete is almost certain to have vast swathes of functionality which aren't used by the developer. If a compiler doesn't already have a large user base, then unless you're using it exactly like someone else has, you're almost guaranteed to find some bugs. Honestly that's true for most software, going back to the maxim "don't be the biggest user of any given software unless you're already capable of writing it yourself."
I have to agree with this.

If you provide an API you'd better commit to it.

A lot of work is being wasted because of this.

No, you can't, because at the end of the first pass you have no way to know that it is in sorted order. Go ahead and try to write the pseudocode for your bubble sort implementation that avoids the second pass.
I wouldn't, or to be more precise - I wouldn't by default. I prefer to enable things like source maps via an environment variable or a special build - when I know that I need to debug something. By always including source maps, I just increase the asset size for the site's visitors, with "no benefit" (most end users won't have a clue about how to debug something).

Regarding the security aspect - don't put anything you know to be sensitive/insecure on the Internet in the first place.

> I just worry that people using some of these alternative browsers are opening themselves up to security issues since those code bases are less well-tested for security problems

Absolutely. The web browser is one of the most notorious attack vectors on computers these days. I find it hilarious that a vocal minority of power users is protesting this _massively impressive_ Firefox release just because they lost Tree Style Tabs or some extensions for downloading videos. Switching to a legacy fork like Waterfox or Firefox 52 ESR is not an enlightened move!
There are other ways to deal with that.

Writing like this is more or less analogous to cursive handwriting in English.

I mean, if you write out "minimum" in cursive, someone who learned English exclusively from printed text might think it was a scribble. But someone familiar with cursive decodes the whole word in a chunk, partly from understanding how latin letters get transformed into cursive, and partly from having seen "minimum" written in cursive before, and maybe also using nearby words for context. There's a roughly similar thing going on here.

Yeah, I've certainly never heard of it referred to this way, and I had to backtrack a bit to figure it out. I think they did this to extend the same courtesy (hoping the context would be enough) to "wetback" as is afforded to "nigger", which makes sense if fairness is what they're going for. If they just make one of them "$INITIAL-word" but print the other in full, it might seem like they don't take the two slurs as seriously.
I work as a frontend engineer and used to think similarly. I don't think I encountered any browser bugs for the first few years, as I was mostly just wiring stuff up and wasn't taking advantage of newer APIs. But eventually I started trying out newer APIs, and I would occasionally bump into weird and unexpected behavior. I was always convinced it was my own fault, but after countless hours trying to debug why something was behaving oddly, I'd look up a few keywords and usually found bug reports in each browser's issue tracker.

Browsers are incredibly complex pieces of software which are constantly evolving. Go look at any browser's issue tracker and you'll find a huge list of bugs.
That sounds like a bug in the standard library... not a bug in the compiler.

We did consider doing GPU, but it seems like you have fewer options there. We were really picky about the resize kernel used and it seems like with GPU you may not always get the same kernels available. Also presumably that only handles resizing, not compressing/decompressing, which make up a pretty sizeable portion of the workload.

Great response to the noise, I'm glad Tesla is getting out in front of this.

This part struck me as important:

"The trial lawyer who filed this lawsuit has a long track record of extorting money for meritless claims and using the threat of media attacks and expensive trial costs to get companies to settle. At Tesla, we would rather pay ten times the settlement demand in legal fees and fight to the ends of the Earth than give in to extortion and allow this abuse of the legal system"

One thing that comes to mind after reading all the comments, is the seemingly very healthy and lucrative ATM business.
