Xcode still needs to compile for macOS of course. It's not just for iOS development. If you want to compile for the next version of macOS you need to be on the next version.
> If I feel unreasonable fear, I try to wonder what issue I had as a child or with my parents that would cause it.

This is great advice. A lot of my anxiety stems from things that happened in my childhood. And whenever I am able to reflect and rationalize WHY I am anxious in certain situations, I can calm down quite a bit and then let it go. In a way it’s a form of CBT and it works for me and a lot of other people I know.
Bit hypocritical of the publisher to be decrying intrusive analytics when their site is running Comscore and Chartbeat tracking.

Not to bash the BBC – all web publishers are using this stuff and loads more. The BBC are unusually good actually, as their sites don't run adverts and all the adtech crap that comes with them.

As someone who designs and builds websites, the data provided by platforms like Hotjar etc. are very useful. And the advertising stuff is required if you want to keep the lights on (unless you have another source of funding like the BBC).

As a user I block it all with extreme prejudice.

I have to wonder, why did these not cancel each other out?
It’s not, but PHP is still by far the best option for low cost hosting, low traffic hosting.
The most important thing is to have a routine. Without a routine a lot of people make excuses for not working out or eating right. Some sources say that after about two weeks a routine becomes a habit. My advise is to just keep doing what you are doing until it doesn't feel like a chore.

If it still feels like a chore after a few weeks, try to switch things up with another workout schedule (e.g. after work instead of before work) or other healthy food. Maybe try another sport.
Is there a risk of information leakage?

Say for example a website asks me for something (e.g. an address, phone number, bank account number), I type it in (thus registering my keystroke presses to the keylogger) and then realise oops I didn't mean to type that, I meant to type something else

Does the website then submit the logged keystrokes for offline analysis?
I have never had a delay more than 45 seconds... that is of course anecdotal.
I'm not sure, I'm hoping that there will be a dev board for the SiFive U500 range; though if there is one, chances are it will not have an integrated GPU. Though, if we're talking desktop use cases, you could use the PCIe 3.0 bus to add one, if that's what you're looking for. I think we're still probably at least a year off from the first RISC-V SBC with an application processor and a GPU on it.

Sadly that is not (at least easily) possible because random_page_cost vs. sequential_page_cost is not just about the IO system but about all factors which can affect the cost of reading pages randomly vs reading pages sequentially. E.g. how often PostgreSQL's tables are in the file cache. So how much RAM your machine has available for PostgreSQL and your access patterns matter too.

Also I imagine the some expensive SAN solutions would be pretty tricky to measure given how smart they try to be with caching and moving between different kinds of disks.

If Ubuntu started shipping on a lot of devices, the HP and other OEMs would start shipping value-adds from third parties as well. The title of this thread is "HP installs system-slowing spyware on its PCs". This by no means would be Windows-specific if HP shipped any serious quantity of consumer Ubuntu boxes.
So true. It's just crazy at the moment. BTC, DASH, XMR, ETH, LTC, IOTA are all hitting ATHs. In the old days BTC rising would take money out of Alt coins. Now everything's going up.

Surely can't last but how long this bull market will go on for is anyone's guess. 2018 is going to be insane.

Looking at the uBlock dynamic filtering, it looks very similar to uMatrix. To block all scripts in uBlock, you'd probably want to block inline scripts, 1st party scripts, and 3rd party scripts with global rules which is possible with dynamic filtering.

However, if you're using chrome, you should have the ability to disable it from the browser altogether.

> You can trivially deomonatrate that the earth is round using basic tools available 2000 years ago.

It's not actually so trivial. There are simple observations that are consistent with a Round Earth model, but it's pretty difficult to nail things down rigorously and precisely.

Anyway, it's sort of interesting to me that you even bring that up. My comment didn't really claim anything about Flat Earth at all; it was more an open statement about the epistimics of scientific knowledge among non-experts.

The fact that you and one other commenter come to defend Round Earth, seems to suggest a sort of belief tribalism in our current science-oriented zeitgeist.
I bought a domain name copyforkable.com(.org) plus pay2fork.com

It was to create a marketplace where you pay for a fork of developer's code, images, libraries, text/articles to create derivatives and enhancements which could also be sold on the marketplace.

So, I totally buy your idea for more diverse licenses.
> Plenty of low-end Chinese routers, phones, tablets, and various Android-running devices use MIPS

I don't think MIPS is common in phones or tablets anymore, those have moved on to the low end of ARM.

However, MIPS is still used in many networking devices and was up until recently, also used in set-top boxes (STB) like the kind you get from your cable provider.

> their performance (or once again, lack thereof) is notable

You don't need gobs of CPU performance in networking devices. All the layer 2 packet handling is done in hardware, and for layer 3 routing the MIPS core(s) are powerful enough to offer 100Mbit NAT performance, which is 99% of what home internet users need currently.

Most managed switches today are either using an updated version of the PowerPC 630 or some ancient and low clocked ARM core. [1]

You don't need gigahertz CPUs in these devices because the CPU is only there to run the management OS (typically Linux) which then configures the switching/routing hardware.

> One only has to look at the prominence (or lack thereof) of MIPS

There are billions of MIPS devices out there. Most homes will have one in their WiFi router, and others in their STB. The only reason MIPS isn't "prominent" is because the products aren't advertised as containing a MIPS core, and people don't know it's MIPS.

I run 4-7 miles every day in the spring, summer, and fall, and around 5 miles in the winter when weather is permitting. I target about 2,000 kcals per day. Skipping breakfast helps, though I wake up pretty late. I have a pretty good diet though probably half of what I eat is raw or cooked vegetables and fruits and nuts.

While all exercise is beneficial, I prefer cardiovascular exercise to stay healthy.
Panopticlick 3.0 Browser Fingerprinting Test
The expression "eating well" is ambiguous at best so I consulted a good dietician which made a big difference in my overall well being and health. Also, I work out every MWF, first thing in the morning - I find that if I don't do it first thing I'll come up with excuses throughout the day to skip. Another thing I do is make sure I get up and move around at least once an hour. I work from home and will take my dogs on a couple walks per day, I realize that's not an option for a lot of people.
Those are all valid reasons. But what these companies need to do instead is pay consenting users to engage in usability sessions.

After a few failed starts with exercising and eating regimens, what really did it for me going to a nutritionist together with my significant other. The nutritionist built a pretty intuitive schedule for both of us, with slight variations for our respective needs. This meant we could cook one common meal and vary the quantity of cooked carbs and protein at plate-level. We also got a list of allowed substitutes to each meal ingredient, which gave us choices. The practicality was a big factor.

This lead to regular prepared healthy meals to the office, which meant no unhealthy eating.

Adding this to 3x-4x weekly exercise (including at least 30 mins cardio) was crucial.

Recently I noticed http://nosdiet.com/ which tries to build good habits with some pretty generic rules. It doesn't micromanage you which may appeal to some people.
What will be the copyright license of the content? Does it follow the same model as Wikipedia or is it a for-profit / proprietary venture?
For finer grained control of the scripts, XHRs, and media being accepted by your browser I'd recommend installing uBlock Origin && uMatrix. uMatrix allows you to blacklist or whitelist everything on a page with some pretty good defaults.

We've seen how well that works with Wikipedia. This is only solvable by presenting a filtered view for each user. The Wikipedia principals have no skills nor an interest to produce such infrastructure.
Would you geeks like a book about fitness but from the perspective of a fellow geek? I was pondering about writing it for some time. I had body fat problem from my childhood (my granma who is a cook and parents stuffed me with food) and I was sedentary for the most of my life. Started with computers from age 6 with Commodore 64.
But slowly i got myself into fitness and learning about it and food. I tried many things and learned much. Now I eat more than at any time in my life (3500cal/day currently), but I maintain lean body with large amount of muscle. And have good amount of strength. For example doing bench press sets with 110kg, rows 109kg, etc.
Wanted to write a book about my path and what to do from the perspective of the geek and somebody who program whole day, I know many would/could relate to the same path.
Anybody interested?
The crypto currency market is growing and maturing at such break neck speed it's got to the point where you can start to hedge against this. By either shorting certain coins, betting on futures (soon) or diversifying across function/ideology (e.g. some in BTC, some in XRP, some in IOTA etc.).

I hike and backpack as much as I can.

It also helps that I built myself a side project to keep track of all of the trails I hike/camp, so this pushes me to find new places to explore and to add new trails to the site.

While hiking only works out certain muscles, it could be a nice way for you to change up your routine.
Not to excuse the bug, but I think it has more to do with the annual upgrade cycle for the iPhone. Everything else Apple does has to tie into this, which is a pretty tight cycle for an OS with new "regular" OS features, plus the integrations with iOS.

They can't afford to wait 2 years (or whatever) to update the phones, and Mac OS gets pulled along for the ride.

Those Apple mirrors (err, thunderbolt displays) were definitely not close to color accurate. The macbooks are okay I guess?

When I worked at a major printing company, they were not using Macs because people would THINK they were color accurate when they were very much not, and we had a bunch of calibrated Dell monitors around specifically for that purpose.

So definitely more of an urban legend than anything. Apple displays are reasonable, they're decent IPS panels, but they're middle of the road if anything.
It's easy to increase number of calculations per second. I.e., simply increase the number of transistors.

It's not so easy to increase clock speed.
Not quite: this is cloud-provisioned so you can do things like supply your own image and it integrates with all the other AWS services like virtual machines do. Provisioning is automated and self-serve. Also per-second billing which you couldn't get in the olden days with hosting.
Yea, it definitely gets tougher, and I switched from cold only to hot and then cold right before I get out. It's something. Not always but probably above 50%. I found myself showering less often when I was forcing myself only cold, so I told myself I don't have to do cold! I do regret it a little if I skip cold completely, but sometimes it's only for 30-60 seconds.

Also I saw a video which changed how I view it: it said cold creates "positive stress". So, when I feel the initial shock, I know it's stressful, but I also know its good.
Not someone with any medical expertise, but here is some stuff I kind of think

-Don't get fat. Stay at a healthy weight forever

-Eat a balanced diet, 3 meals a day

-Walk daily

-Get up from desk and move every so often

-Sleep enough

-Don't overwork

-Go to the dentist every 6 months and do what they say

--Don't skip the dentist because you don't have insurance or something. Cleanings every 6 months are necessary for keeping your gums healthy, even if you brush and floss

-Do some strength exercises a few days a week (calisthenics or weights)

--Always prioritize not injuring your joints or back over gains

--Go to a doctor and PT if you injure yourself, don't start doing random foam roller stuff from the internet
I track about 99% of the food I eat on MyFitnessPal. I’ve been doing this for nearly seven years and am currently approaching a 2 year streak. This alone has been the biggest contributor to perfect physicals every year for the past five years or so and a nice physique. (I’m 30.)

I also calculated my total daily energy expediture online. You can also get a DEXA scan for $100-150 that will tell you what your nearly exact body fat percentage is, but my experience has shown me that it doesn’t differ that much from online results. TDEE is super important because it’s a baseline of how much I need to eat to maintain my current weight. I eat more than it if I want to build muscle (which is a really slow process unless you’re just starting out) and less than it when I want to lose weight and lean out.

I also lift 4x/week and go on long walks 1-2x/week. I also used to do 100+ miles on my bike per week but haven’t made time for that in recent years.
As DennisP said, yes there are mechanisms to ensure date is agreed upon.

Your question of "consensus" brings up other interesting points. I think an increasingly valuable service in a new smart-contract world will be to have an "Outcomes As A Service" arbiter. This would be a trusted 3rd party that publishes real-world outcomes in a method that can be accessed reliably via smart contracts.

Who will win the football game between Dallas and New Orleans on Nov 22, 2019? Who is winner of 2020 Presidential Election? etc....Essentially a service that you can tell them you want to track some real-world event and publish outcome for use in smart-contracts. Obviously this 3rd party would need to be transparent, have an open appeal process, be neutral and earning income not tied to outcome, etc.

> Once you get down to 5nm features they are only about 20 silicon atoms wide.

This is a complete misunderstanding of modern processes.

It’s conflating feature size with some measure like “wire width”. Feature size is best thought of as the tightest corner radius you can cut in a piece of wood. Actual logic (and wires) are far larger than this. There’s actually a shocking amount of room “down there”, still. The problem is that lithography probably won’t scale down after some magic number (say 2 or 3 nm), and we’ll have to do something else clever. It’s been a while since I looked into this, but IBM’s smallest AFM-created transistor is ~10 atoms, which is something like 4 orders of magnitude (or more!) smaller than, say, 10nm.
I used to be big into webdev back in the .com wave.

Nowadays I always push for HTML5/CSS3 with minimal JavaScript, preferably with server side rendering.

For anything really complex I usually try to see if it can be done as native app instead.
At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, low carb eating and intermittent fasting have changed my life. The way it puts you in touch with yourself and naturally regulates your mood and caloric intake is almost magical. It takes some time and tweaking to get to that point but if a person can be consistent about it for six months, it then becomes a natural way of eating/living. The knowledge on why it works is all out there now for us to absorb, it's just a matter of having the confidence to take control of our own health rather than relying on doctors that wouldn't recognize a research paper if it hit them across the head!
> There is no address which can be reached from the internet

Maybe read my previous [1] again?

If you are behind a NAT only - which would be highly unusual - you probably can send packets to it from the internet. The router will simply forward packets that have an internal (RFC 1918) DST address.

That only thing NAT does is rewrite address fields. The reason you usually cannot receive packets directly from the internet is due to the stateful firewall.

There's already this one:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Healthy-Programmer-Better-Pragmatic...

But to be honest I'm not sure what 'geeks' think is so intrinsically different about themselves that they need to treat this subject differently to anyone else.

I think fitness is one of those subjects where you want to be very cautious about anything that describes itself as a shortcut or a clever way of doing it. You just need to do the work.
