Intel actually announced that they’re going to make their own discrete GPU in addition to selling AMD’s. Both the AMD offering and the Intel discrete offering feature the standard integrated Iris GPU for non-3D gaming (normal desktop graphics).
The last time this conversation came up, a slew of people called it a strategic mistake for AMD. I'm actually willing to bet it's the opposite (disclosure: I'm long AMD).

The last time AMD got into a fight with Intel, Intel pulled out all the stops. The only relief AMD got--quite a ways down the road--was in the form of damages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Micro_Devices,_Inc._v....

Something tells me AMD decided to make strange bedfellows this time around against a common growing threat in multiple spaces, to include graphics as well as machine learning (nVidia). It's one agreement, but for AMD, it's both a revenue source as well as a foot in the door for potential collaborative efforts which could give it some stability as it broadens its offerings and looks at new avenues for value creation in the face of headwinds such as resistance in further transistor shrinkage.
Yes, the idea is indeed a signal that the request was received and the message the actual response. Problem is, if you are going to send me the actual HTTP status code in the 200 response with no additional information, you might as well send directly. Works better with all the libraries as well. Now we had to write a layer of abstraction to pull the actual message and code an forward that into our applications and third party libs. Personally, I prefer APIs that adhere to the HTTP status codes as defined in the standard.
The trouble with the command solution approach (public or private) is that it's institutions lack correcting dynamics and are too big to fail. Wether it's FLW or Paolo Soleri, or Google the resulting solutions will be too rigid to adapt to real-world situations, yet they will be too big to discard.

Perhaps some organic Solari-like design permitting large numbers of independent housing decisions (some of which could fail) might work, but this is a very hard design problem. Only tech has the funds to attempt something like this. But, tech leadership is known for its arrogance and its ignorance of the complexity of real-world problems. I have little hope tech will find a viable solution.
Can you confirm if I'm understanding the paper properly?

My read on this is that they've found a way to use layers in the material to make the Helium from alpha particles form little tubes on their way through the metal to escape, rather than building up into little balls that cause blisters and weaken the metal.

A lot of the typical use cases for classes in a language like Java are replaced by the user's choice of module format in JavaScript (ES6, commonjs, etc.). Though, I don't think "this" was that hard to learn (See: YDKJS) and classes/prototypes definitely are an important tool in the JavaScript toolbelt.
"Minuscule blip: European oil stocks not really affected" doesn't grab those clicks, though. They won't stop using hyperbole for headlines unless the evolutionary pressure (i.e. revenue model) significantly changes for news media.
Google News itself is not an AMP page, nor does it promote AMP pages, as you claim.

As I pointed out in my original comment, Bing also uses an AMP cache and sends users to AMP pages from the Bing app, which is why saying that anything different about them is ironic makes little sense.
Is there an evidence of that? We could open a case for these war crimes.

Intel Integrated Graphics was always a graphic solution executed by the CPU.
This here solves multiple problems. A) The Computer has a dedicated graphics chip. B) The computer has an incredible high bandwidth between cpu/gpu/main memory.
C) The CPU will be capable of utilizing the Special 3dimension graphics memory. Which is patented by AMD. (HBM)

This is a way more powerful solution than integrated graphics and thus puts a lot of pressure on Nvidia for laptops and mobile maybe even for office computers.

What does your comment have to do with So if someone is raped,, which is what I said?
I partially agree with the parent. Showing these "connections" without any context and detail is just infuriating and leads to click-bait headlines with no actual purpose served.

I don't think they are trying to insult anyone's intelligence though. They are just being careful with the data so that their sources are safe.

While safety is important, this reminds me of the story of the boy who cried wolf. If they keep doing this multiple times and there is no substantial info., people will stop paying attention when there is some real info. and demagogues will use this as evidence of fake news.
Knuth does not think TeX is feature-complete: he said “it is axiomatic that any complex system can be improved”; the current state is just where he decided to stop and make his “responsible exit” (his term from a recent talk!) after about a decade of working on TeX and METAFONT. See his 1990 article/letter The Future of TeX and METAFONT (https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb11-4/tb30knut.pdf) where he writes:

> My work on developing TeX, METAFONT, and Computer Modern has come to an end. I will make no further changes except to correct extremely serious bugs. […] I strongly believe that an unchanging system has great value, even though it is axiomatic that any complex system can be improved. Therefore I believe that it is unwise to make further "improvements" to the systems called TeX and METAFONT. Let us regard these systems as fixed points, which should give the same results 100 years from now that they produce today. […] anybody can make use of my programs in whatever way they wish, as long as they do not use the names […] In particular, any person or group who wants to produce a program superior to mine is free to do so. […] Of course I do not claim to have found the best solution to every problem. I simply claim that it is a great advantage to have a fixed point as a building block. […] I welcome continued research that will lead to alternative systems that can typeset documents better than TeX is able to do.
Would you prefer for them to be referred to them as "Cosmic Rays" :) ? To be honest, "Space Particles" sounds less silly and more descriptive. It also emphasizes that they're not generating the muons themselves, but collecting them from space.

EDIT: Though I guess, now that I think of it, it's a bit unfair to refer to muons as 'exotic'. People will typically encounter thousands of them in a day [1].

I agree, that's what makes the difference. Not just that standardised forms appear, but that Chrome does switch to them.

Contrast CSS, where Microsoft participated in the design (while Netscape tried to push their own different thing) and signed off on the standard, but chose not to update their implementation to match what the final standard said.
Do NOT EVER use Tor Browser.

Is that a general recommendation against Tor? Or would you recommend another tool to someone who wants to use Tor? Tails?

One advantage of Tor Browser is the standardization. When using the Tor Browser, you look just like every other user of the Tor Browser.
While fewer workloads today are CPU-bound in general, these will probably be an especially big win for commercial software use cases in particular. Customers running workloads with processor-based licensing (think databases) now have more options for increasing available RAM without taking on more CPU licenses.

Oh, and the reason they’re doing this is ARM offerings from Qualcomm and Nvidia are very likely going to start seriously entering Desktop PCs. Some people may argue they’ll finally make a serious push into servers too, but that has failed so many times that I’m not holding my breath.
Unfortunately not, but if I were the one to decide, I would not be good enough either. :D

I was a bit agressive here because too much unnecessary complexity is probably the mistake I hate the most.

You are right, my comment might not make much sense for this specific project.
Intel claims that they made some kind of bus for similar stuff (to be able to easily add 3-rd party chips to their processor) and AMD GPU is just one example of application of this bus. That said, obviously their GPUs are inferior to AMD so if customers want powerful GPU, the only choice was to ship a separate PCI-E video card. Now Intel offers another choice which is probably better (for example I expect more PCI-E lanes for SSD and other things).
An example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42195095/https-is-secure...
I'm curious to see how these will be priced. They could save on costs over a dedicated gpu by sharing cooling systems and other parts, which would be exciting.
Right. I think learning this way forces yourself to solve the problem by teaching the discipline to yourself. It's always said that you don't truly understand something until you are able to teach it to another so in that sense you a sort of "tricking" yourself into teaching it to yourself as you learn it. It's a round about way of thinking / doing things but those mental gymnastics feel necessary to me to absorb such unnatural and abstract (to me) topics.
Could this have something to do with Apple shipping their own chips with their desktop computers? I would think that Apple would be interested in using those new Intel/AMD chips on their laptops.
They're not really deciding for you what to release, since you have nothing to release.

Is your concern that their interpretation of the source material is inaccurate, or that you're being intentionally misled or occluded?

The ICIJ has been around for two decades, and their credibility is robust.
I don't think they're likely to be making claims like this without access to substantial evidence.
There is no security breach here. In iOS 11, the standard photo picker runs in a separate process. When the user picks a photo, one-time access to that single photo is give. To the app. Since the user is picking the photo, and can just cancel, no separate permission is needed.

Looking at it from a 3rd party's point of view, the if is very much in question. So, flipping it around, though this may sound cynical, I would caution anyone about making what are essentially public accusations. They had better be prepared for a legal backlash, and they had better have bulletproof evidence.

I spoke (politely) with the guy who ran the organization that publicly went after my friend — I think he genuinely considered what he was doing to be legally safe, and I also think he was convinced my friend was guilty. His livelihood is now in tatters.

"However unlikely"

This is where probabilities bite us. If the probability is small enough then the expected death toll will drop to almost zero which merits little worry, despite how horrific said event mightt be. It sounds like you're doing the natural, intuitive thing of picturing a very scary scenerio and then wanting to avoid said scenerio at all costs.

The problem is, while you're busy avoiding some almost-zero probability event, you're also nuking your ability to mitigate events with actual high expected deaths and loses.

Fossil fuels already kill on the order of millions per century [citation needed], so if you think nuclear power does the same, it means we should expect several Chernobyl level events in the next few decades. Are you sure your probabilities are well-calibrated here?

Also, some of the rough skimming I've done has me believing that cycles without possibility of medown can be built, cf. liquid salt reactors. IIRC, some of these even have really nice waste profiles with the worst stuff only having half lives in the decades and very low volume at that [citation badly needed].

Anyway, fear of nuclear power reads to me like a fear of planes over cars. Chernobyl and Fukushima were single, isolated events making them visible and viscerally scary like plane crashes. Fossil fuels, on the other hand, pick us off one by one, relentlessly, but never so loudly as to evoke that gut-level fear.
Agreed. Not sure if you read my comment to the end, but that's more or less my position too. As well as the broad public. So when this still happens, there must be a reason for it. The theory of why is the essence of my comment above.

Can't read the article because of the paywall. But if you are looking for protein without consuming meat, then usually dairy protein is great.

1) Milk based products that are high on protein (either whey, or casein). Most shakes are usually whey. Otherwise yogurt is a great source (Icelandic skyr is mostly protein). Some cheeses have more protein than fat, etc...

2) Egg protein. Either full eggs, or just whites, or powder egg protein.

3) Peas, Beans, Peanut Butter are good protein sources as well... but you can really eat so much in a day

4) Avoid soy, (for many reasons, but mainly because it is thought to be andrenogenic).

If you can't eat either milk or egg based products and I think you are a bit out of luck. Yes, there are people that manage fine with (there even vegan bodybuilders), but it really becomes tough diet wise as it is very restrictive....

The Curse of Cow Clicker: How a Cheeky Satire Became a Videogame Hit (2011)
I meant "bound", sorry.

Funny that you mention "::" in Java. ES7/ES8 was going to have a bind operator "::" that extracts a bound method with a slightly different syntax. i.e. `::f.bar`
I wrote a blog post[0] that walks through some example Elixir code to explain it. It boils down to having Supervisor processes that monitors worker processes (or other supervisor processes), and the supervisor receives a message when the worker process exits. The supervisor can then decide what to do based on what the error message is.

It's not, some people just make an assumption that vegan = just vegetables, and that you're not getting any protein.

Where are you basing the assumption that low testosterone happens from a vegan diet?
Failure is a necessary part of the path to success. Nobody gets it right at first. You must get help identifying why you have failed and redesign accordingly. Then, you must iterate (probably multiple times).

Good luck!
Because I said left to the dot at "call time". More succintly:

> When you call a function, whatever is left of the dot is passed as the `this` argument

The analogy is pretty good - you can't pass an argument to a function until you actually call it. In your example, the function hasn't been called yet, so no argument has been passed.

foo.doStuff // <-- syntax to access a field member
foo.doStuff() // syntax to call a field member with a `this` argument passed left of the dot.

Furthermore, on the receiving side, the setTimeout function is seeing:

function setTimeout(fn, delay) {
// just fn, but not the argument.
}

Which makes it clear that you can no longer call that function with the proper `this` argument.

My point was that `this` is only as confusing as you make it, and there is a simple and straightforward way to teach it (function argument). If you do that, the dozens of seemingly special cases go down to just a couple.

Its unfortunate we don't yet have the bind operator https://github.com/tc39/proposal-bind-operator

If we had it, the explanation could be made even clearer. You would be able to call free-standing functions with a `this` argument left of the double colon, i.e. `thisArgument::freeStandingFunction()` - then the dot method call syntax `thisArgument.method()` could be explained as a syntax sugar for `thisArgument::(thisArgument.method)()` - a syntax sugar to at the same time access a function attached as a member field of an object and call it with that object as the `this` argument.

The bind operator would make all those other `this` cases seem less special too. Of course you can call various bits of code with whatever `this` argument you want. The event handler code? `someElement::eventHandlerCode(event)`. A constructor? `Object.create(constructor.prototype)::constructor()`. Nothing special here, just a function argument, can have different values in different functions, depending what was passed as `this`.

Its bizarre that this operator got stuck in stage 0 and is being subsumed by the pipeline operator (a terrible match for JavaScript). Looks like TC39 isn't interested in untangling the mess.

My follow up @Msurrow 's point:

> This is subdivided into the users skill with technology in general and the users domain expertise level. Is the end user a novice or expert with tech? Is the user (or rather the primary use-case(s)) for domain experts of domain novices?

When I set out to design and implement anything I always try to imagine the least computer / tech savvy potential users as well as the most snobby and tech savvy potential users. After I've figured out who those two extreme groups of users will tend to be I set out to make my designs as "hand holding" as possible for the less tech savvy group while making sure, as best I can, that the way I go about catering to those less tech savvy users won't offend or turn off the most tech savvy users.

While I find it to be one of the most difficult parts about executing and ultimately deciding on a final iteration for release I also find nailing that middle ground as one of the most satisfying single rewards of the work I do. If I can make something that guides clueless computer users through a series of tasks without hangups or significant drop off while at the same time the most tech savvy users have no annoyances or glaring issues to gripe about then I view my job as well done.

I try my best to get the most tech savvy users to acknowledge the detail and care that went into UX / UI / Usability. If I can't display a new / innovative approach, a less redundant approach, or a more streamlined way of guiding a user through the process then my main goal is to create an experience where those two ends of the spectrum both walk away from the experience feeling there was no annoyances, hurdles, or progress halting steps to the process / story / guide / purchase & checkout / etc. Everything should be in it's correct place. Everything should be labeled as needed and those labels shouldn't hog valuable screen space. Errors, notifications, validation checking, and any other changes mid-experience should be clear and obviously placed with color coded nuances. Erroneous use shouldn't trash users inputs, EVER! If you know you will have lots of non-tech savvy users you will have to strategically weigh using innovative UI / UX against the added instructions and newly introduced errors / validation issues that come along with them. Is it worth it to innovate elements and functions that already exist in standardized, well known ways? Will going those extra miles raise the rate by which users interact / check out / continue reading / commit to desired actions?

I think it's easier said than done to set out and then execute this strategy but I also find that it's my personal favorite way of mentally posturing myself when it comes time to make decisions with UX / UI / Usability. Beyond that nothing beats sitting with users as they use your product / app / service / website. I don't know if you have access to potential testing users but I'm sure you could dig up some family and friends to help you run your project through the rigors of real life use.
I think part of the reason they do this is because there's massive amounts of unorganized data. This would make it both difficult for individuals to analyze, and would also pose a privacy risk to people and organizations.
