Possibly. Or maybe it was only the dinosaurs in this group, the theropods, that had them. Or that had them to a significant degree.

I still picture the giants being featherless, just as modern elephants, rhinos, and hippos, are hairless, or mostly hairless, with only a few coarse bristles. I am not, however, aware of anything in the literature on this topic, so I have no evidence to offer.
>It really looked like the only thing the Mensa folks had going for them was having done well on a test.

Maybe not even that. I don't know if it's still true, but Mensa used to accept anybody with a PhD. I used to know a not-at-all-brilliant woman who was a Mensa member by virtue of her doctorate in Library Science.
It's actually not about new fees. They are adjusting fees in a funny way, but it's all about trying to make their freemium assumptions work. Most creators are using Patreon to enable a partly-gratis partly-paywalled business model. None of this would have come about if it were just about donating to creators you like.

> I worry about the coupling between unrelated products.

I even worry about coupling among related products.

I could see monorepos working out well for a company that just does SaaS, and is able to get away with nice things like maintaining a single running version of the app, and continuous delivery.

Having mostly worked in companies that do shrinkwrap software or that allow different teams or clients to manage their own upgrade schedule, though, monorepo seems to me like a recipe for a codebase that is horribly resistant to change. Not just in the "big bang upgrades like JUnit4 are awful" ways described above, but also in a, "We never clean up old stuff, because most of the time when we try it breaks a bunch of other teams' code and we just nope out of that whole hassle, so barely-supported code sort of collects continuously, like dead underbrush in a forest that's never allowed to burn, until eventually it all explodes in a horrible conflagration," sort of way.

Seeing the list of things that Google keeps in a monorepo, vs things that Google keeps in Git repos, it seems like they might be thinking similarly. They've really only got a precious few products that typically run on non-Google-owned hardware, and apparently the major ones live outside the monorepo.
probably not. it is still a lot of work.
Big, non-tech companies use completely crap tools in a lot of cases, compared to even 50 person startups. Google's a clear outlier in terms of tool quality, even for a tech giant, but I've seen some great in-house or newer tools used by a lot of startups, too. There are often huge differences in tool quality vs. task for companies of the same size/stage, too.

Congress can't "declare" something to be a First Amendment right. A thing is either guaranteed under 1A or it isn't; if it is, it's guaranteed regardless of the laws passed by Congress. That's a question for Article III tribunals.
Very helpful, thank you.
I bought an ODroid W back when it was still in stock. It uses the same CPU as the Raspberry Pi, is pin-compatible with the Pi's GPIO, and is smaller.

It's like the Pi Zero, but came out earlier and has battery management built in. It's a pity that's still out of stock.

The third problem can essentially be solved by doing all your production builds by checking out code from some central repository. If you follow that rule, then you guarantee you'll have the source code for every binary in production.

That way, you can still have a distributed repository (Git, Mercurial, etc.) if you want. Even if some code exists only in some developer's local repository, it's presumably not that big of a deal since that code can never have made it to production.
> 1) Transparency. I can see what everybody else is doing and if somebody has an interesting project I can find it quickly. You can also learn a lot from looking at other peoples changes.

This doesn't require a single central repository, just that all repositories live in a common location.

> 2) Faster. To check out the source code for the project I now work on takes an hour in the distributed system, while it only took 5 minutes in the centralized system.

What distributed repository management system do you use, and what centralized system did you use?

> 3) Always backed up. All code that is checked into the central repository is backed up. It has happened twice that employees have left and code was lost because they only checked it in locally.

As with point 1, this doesn't require a single central repository, just that all repositories live in a common location.

I did a brief stint as a research assistant at a battery manufacturer which is why I was so horrified by your comment.

Essentially, from the moment you manufacture a lithium-ion cell, the materials inside start reacting and losing capacity. When fully discharged, this reaction rate is increased by quite a bit.

The capacity of a lithium cell is dependent on the minimum and maximum charge voltages. These are chosen to balance the capacity of the cell, as well as the cycle life of the cell. It is assumed that you will only run the cell to 0% on the rare occasion, otherwise that you will charge it before it gets too low. FYI, Battery university is a good resource on just about everything batteries [1].

My advice when it comes to caring for the battery in your phone is incredibly simple: Plug the device in each night when you go to bed and unplug it when you get up in the morning.

To be clear, I think we should reduce emissions. But even if they drop to zero today, we still have a problem. Trees and Algae don't use more carbon than the used to. The carbon cycle is fairly neutral in terms of the net change year over year, absent us.

My point in commenting was to say that climate change is not irrelevant, and emphasize that using less is helpful, but won't solve the problem on its own.
What exactly do you hope to achieve by this kind of needless pedantry? You said yourself that you understood they probably meant venomous, so it's not as if the comment wasn't clear.
You should disguise it as manicured landscaping with a few cheap features thrown in to appease the tasteless mulch volcano lovers.
Excellent concept, thanks. The persistence of the stock/flow error with carbon really bugs me. The percentage decline countdown is also helpful.

A curious coincidence that on the site's most pessimistic assumptions, the amount of carbon we can emit is ~the sign of the devil: 666,666,666,666 tons
iOS 10.2.1 “fixed” the sudden shutdown issues by dynamically scaling clock speed based on battery wear, and capacity.

It would be good to verify the former in a controlled environment. The latter is easily verified by Geekbenching your iPhone every 10% it drops.

That may be true, but what they REALLY want is the user base, and their primary model is a freemium paywall model which requires charge-up-front, and they are prioritizing that over prioritizing actual sustaining patronage.
>They've really only got a precious few products that typically run on non-Google-owned hardware, and apparently the major ones live outside the monorepo.

This depends on what you mean. Most/all consumer android applications don't run on google-owned hardware, but are in the monorepo.

That said, you're right that the whole "keep things up to date" thing is important. That's where tools like rosie and even bots come in.

>Yet, also, IQ tests are strongly influenced by cultural knowledge, good scores in kids strongly correlate to kids coming from upper middle class families with well educated parents, etc.

Why do you assume that's cause and not effect?
This effect has been in here since iOS 10.2.1; so it doesn’t explain any slowdown that occurred prior to that OS release

It’s very real though. A fresh clean reset of my old iPhone 7 had a significantly lower Geekbench score, and that went away after the battery (capacity: 78% of design) was replaced.
More likely it gets off-shored somewhere else.

I work for a tech company in Taiwan who package DRAM and SD cards.

The factory takes silicon wafers, grinds them down to the right thickness, cuts them up (dicing), bonds wires on, puts them into plastic chip packages, tests them, and puts the finished chips into pretty cardboard boxes with plastic windows that you see for sale in stores.

The testing and manufacturing machines are really expensive. The parent company invested too much in x-ray machines to test BGA chip packages, and almost went bankrupt in the dot-com crash. Management wanted to fire the expensive programmers in the IT department/call centre/automation.

My boss (the founder's son) just finished his Masters in Artificial Intelligence in the US. He wasn't going to let the programmers just leave. So he made a startup company in the same office, spun off, refinanced the loans, and now both companies work together closely but the IT department can also do contracts for other clients to help stay afloat.

Automation tasks are fun when I get them - lots of coding drivers for old hardware in the testing area. Most of the time the factory just keeps running though, so I can do data analysis on the log files to help optimise the scheduling.

Most cards are manufactured at high capacity (e.g. 512GB SD card, 400 GB microSD). When they fail a test, they are "reworked" - the die is cut in half with an electron microscope, and tested again. Thus we get many small cards and a few expensive big cards.

The clients are the people with their name on the SD card, and they're the ones designing the silicon. If they order more, the factory has the capacity. But if the purchase orders are down, we can't make more unless they sell.

tl;dr - It's a market issue, not a factory issue.

If you use OpenGL or Metal with triple buffering (the blog post mentions MTLView which is a Metal view) I believe this doesn't matter. You'll only be using the CVDisplayLink timer events to generate frames spaced at a even interval - which is equal to the display vsync interval, depending how you configure CVDisplayLink. Then, the actual presentation of those frames will happen in sync with the actual display vsync.

See Metal Triple Buffering (https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/3D...) and MTLCommandBuffer presentDrawable.

For OpenGL there are similar mechanisms, eg. NSOpenGLCPSwapInterval.
The dynamics actually played out very differently at Google. Because it was a monorepo with automated testing, if you didn't want other teams to break you when they change the dependencies, then you had better have a robust test suite.

Breaking changes would then lead to a discussion with your team, rather than your fruitlessly trying to binary search to find the commit that broke you.

Over time, the culture at Google became that all teams need to write tests at the unit, functional, and (usually) integration level.
I feel like Apple (and any other manufacturers that do this) may be vulnerable to a class action here. If the article is true and performance tanks over 40% in 2 years, then planned obsolescence isn't just a conspiracy theory anymore. It's real and they have never disclosed it.

This is going to work out great. All the technology for automatically sorting and recycling plastic exists. There are production plants using it. The best sorters aren't widely used yet, but they're available. Even ABS/polyethylene/polystyrene sorting is available. The US has been shipping unsorted wasted to China, but now will have to sort and recycle it domestically.

The biggest plastic recycling plant in the US is in Riverside, California.[1] In go mixed bottles, out come injection molding pellets. The technology is working at scale right now.

Bloomberg sees this ban as a boost for the US plastics industry.[2]

It sounds like you're describing a malthusian trap, where providing people with resources would simply lead to higher population and a return to the baseline quality of life? If that were true, we would expect to see poverty and malnutrition remain relatively constant over the past decades. Instead, what we've seen is a dramatic reduction in both poverty and malnutrition, all over the world. At the rate we're going, extreme poverty and malnutrition will both be eradicated within our lifetimes.

Nicholas Kristof actually had a great article on this very topic, which will restore your faith in humanity: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/01/opinion/sunday/good-news-...
I agree with the point about how technology exposes some kinds of experiments a bit too much.

But jail time? Sorry, that's not just a "mistake", that's outright reckless stupidity (obvious exception: protesting civil issues or similar).

Just because you (the author) made a stupid decision​ and narrowly avoided jail time, does not mean that what you did was a good thing in general.

Following that logic, should we also argue for reckless driving if some CEO of a startup narrowly missed killing someone back in the day? Should we all drive recklessly so that we can "learn from our mistakes"?

At this point I normally assume that if Google does something a certain way, or uses a particular proprietary technology, then it likely should NOT be used.

I work for a place that tried to model itself culturally after Google and Facebook and has had a lot of engineers moving back and forth. If Google is anything like us, then it creates wrong incentives to invent in-house stuff. See, in their expense scheme the salaries of engineers are not a huge deal. It's cheap to have people do things. There is also an incentive for an engineer to try and "leave a mark". There are also a bias to hiring new and unexperienced people, who fail to learn the existing tech and replace it with something different, simpler and less functional (by the time it matures, it becomes just as complex, however).

I live in Java world, so I am seeing Google reinvent (poorly) every bit of Java tech: DI (Dagger), build tools (Gradle), commons libraries (Guava) and the list goes on and on. Well, apparently, they also reinvented internally Git, Jenkins and the rest of the tools. The rest of us should probably NOT do it this way.
Personally i think communications tools help me more then anything in the remote developer category. Programming tools are the same if i am in the office or not.

I bought my iPhone 2 years ago (iPhone 6, new) -- it's since been plagued by slowdowns that are incomprehensible to me as a software developer. How can something go from completely responsive to absolutely useless in 2 years with virtually no major changes to the OS?

Scaling the CPU down with battery capacity seems like a great way to hand-wave away planned obsolescence accusations.

I was curious about the results my phone would receive, so I bought the Geekbench app mentioned in the reddit post. Indeed, my phone scores max out at half of what it claims the iPhone 6 should benchmark at.

I'm pissed.
This doesn't require a single central repository, just that all repositories live in a common location.

Even better, if every project includes a DOAP file (or something similar) and/or you publish commit messages using ActivityStrea.ms or something, you could easily have an interface that shows project activity around the organization, regardless of how many repositories and/or servers you use. Of course it's probably easier if all the repositories live in a common location...
I wonder if Android does the same thing. My understanding if batteries is that @ 100% charge they are going to sit around a certain voltage. They will never stay at the maximum voltage under use though. Is it possible that the OS needs to drop the CPU freq due to the voltage requirements (which maybe a 70% healthy battery could NEVER hit), and ultimately stressing/draining the battery quicker at higher frequencies.

How do you physically replace the iPhone battery? And where do you buy the replacement?
I didn’t see the word “content” on first reading. I never have encountered Google or FB created content (other than open source code), and I also don’t use their news aggregators (or other services), so (with the exception of YouTube), I don’t think of them as being in the content game at all. Anyway, I’ve been happily ignoring their walled gardens for decades, and using the decentralized web for news, etc.

Certainly, they’re in the infrastructure + surveillance business, and (especially for Google) that’s concerning.

Also, “Decentralized” is a technical term. Google runs a large, decentralized infrastructure, based on web technologies.

“Consolidation” is usually used as a business term, and is orthogonal to centralizing operations. For instance, many companies have outsourced payroll to one centralized company. That does not mean their industries are consolidating.

When people intentionally use words wrong, it is bound to lead to confusion.

One thing he mentioned is that what those whales do is "buy the server," literally buy the top spots in any competitive aspect through spending so much cash that the ante to get into it excludes everyone else. I think at that level everyone else really doesn't matter; it's a spending contest versus the other whales for status.

What happens is that eventually the ante gets so high that the other whales look for a new game or new server to fight over.
What can you possibly be doing in an integration test that takes 40 minutes?
Heh. Youngsters. They still think that ideas are the bottleneck. :)

Poor people would hit their limits very fast. Many F2P games make elements that would involve repeated infusions of items that cost $30-$100 a pop over time. A lot of those games have no real upper limit to the power or time savings you can get; there's never a sense of the game being done.

But for a richer person, 3k a year is what they give to their kids for christmas in gifts.
